Eden Organic Kamut Vegetable Spirals are made of organic whole grain Khorasan wheat from family farms in Montana and North Dakota by those committed to building vital soil, cleansing the environment, and producing the safest, most nutritious and delicious food. We use only the best organic, non-irradiated vegetable powders to create our colorful spirals. One of our 100 percent whole grain pastas providing essential nourishment, delicious flavor, and surprisingly light texture.
Eden Organic Kamut Vegetable Spirals are small batch hand crafted at the Eden Organic Pasta Company, a Detroit landmark using traditional pasta making techniques and vintage Italian equipment since 1923, and the first food production facility in North America to be third party certified organic. Whole Khorasan wheat is milled into flour at our organic, AIB highly rated, Clinton, Michigan mill. The flour, beet powder, spinach powder, carrot powder, and organic annatto powder are blended with purified water and slow, thorough kneading prepares the dough. Using a traditional screw press the dough is extruded through an artisan brass spiral die, cut into individual spirals and spread on drying racks. A patient drying process using steam and air finishes the pasta perfectly, with about 16 hours in the final drying room. When ideal the spirals are packed. Each step helps to create pasta of exceptional flavor, texture and character. The pasta is packaged in a reclosable box, with a delicious recipe and photo from Eden's kitchen printed on the back.
All Eden Organic Pasta is packaged in boxes made from recycled and recyclable paperboard, one of the most environmentally friendly packages available. According to the 100 percent Recycled Paperboard Alliance (RPA100.com), "Fourteen trees are saved for each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard. Trees are critical to the sequestration of CO2 (a greenhouse gas) in North America. For each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard, an equal amount of recovered fiber has been diverted from municipal landfills. Production of 100 percent recycled paperboard uses 50 percent less energy compared to virgin grades of paperboard, thus significantly reducing the greenhouse gases released into the environment."
Khorasan Triticum turgidum or T. turanicum is an ancient grain with large gold kernels native to Asia Minor and Egypt, often referred to as 'King Tut's' wheat. It is related to the ancient grain spelt and is a distant relative of durum wheat. Its plump gold kernels called 'berries' are almost 3 times the size of modern hybrid wheat. Khorasan wheat is allergy friendly. Although it does contain gluten it's highly water soluble gluten making it easier to digest than modern wheat. This is due to Khorasan's unique nutritional composition. Research by the International Food Allergy Association (IFAA) says, "For most wheat sensitive people, Kamut grain can be an excellent substitute for common wheat." Dr. Ellen Yoder, President of IFAA and a team of independent scientists and physicians arrived at this conclusion after studying two groups of wheat sensitive people - those with immediate immune system responses and those with a delayed immune system response. The delayed immune response group showed a remarkable 70 percent greater sensitivity to common wheat than to Kamut. With the immediate immune response group, those who were severely allergic, they found that 70 percent had no, or minor reaction to Kamut. The Kamut Association of America and Europe calls kamut "the wheat you can eat." Khorasan wheat was introduced to America by an organic farmer in Montana in the 1940s. It is a rare non-hybridized wheat that offers the highest protein of any wheat.
Whole grain is the heart of a healthy diet providing the broadest spectrum of nutrients in the proportions that we need for good health and well being. Commercial pasta is made from highly refined chemically treated flour, processed in minutes through Teflon dies and ultra high heat or microwave drying, resulting in inferior flavor, diminished nutrition, poor cooking quality, and questionable value.
Scientists at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University say, "Whole grains help regulate blood sugar by slowing down the conversion of complex carbohydrates into sugar. In fact, low-glycemic index foods such as whole grains reduce hunger and can help to control weight." Scientists at the Agriculture Research Service completed a study of more than 2,000 people concluding, "at least three or more servings of whole grain foods everyday could reduce the chances of developing metabolic syndrome - a condition marked by a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, low HDL 'good' cholesterol and high blood fats."
According to the FDA, "Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers." The FDA also states, "Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic Kamut Vegetable Spirals are heart healthy, 100 percent whole grain, low fat, saturated fat and cholesterol free, and an excellent source of dietary fiber. Also, "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic Kamut Vegetable Spirals are low sodium without salt added. They are also an excellent source of protein, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. They are a good source of carbohydrate, zinc, and thiamin B1.
When you bite into Eden Organic Pasta the flavor and character of the grain is evident. Eden Organic Kamut Vegetable Spirals are made from whole fresh, unbleached, non enriched flour. It doesn't need to be enriched because the grain has not be stripped of its nutrients. Eden Organic Pasta enhances energy, balance, clarity, and well being.
Eden Organic Kamut Vegetable Spirals are versatile pasta delicious any way you chose to prepare it. Its spiral shape and chunky size make it a good choice for casseroles and pasta salad, with beans or chunky sauces. Great with Eden Organic Navy Beans and pea pods in the Pasta Salad with Beans in our recipe section.

text: Thursday, June 21, 2012 Evidence Insufficient for Multidisciplinary Postacute Rehabilitation for Adults With TBI Authors of a comparative effectiveness review released by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality report that the "body of evidence is not informative" regarding effectiveness or comparative effectiveness of multidisciplinary postacute rehabilitation for adults with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Multidisciplinary Postacute Rehabilitation for Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in Adults examines 5 key questions related to characterizing the interventions, effectiveness and comparative effectiveness, minimal clinically important differences, sustainability of intervention effectiveness, and adverse events. The authors state that, "Although we found stronger evidence on the comparative effectiveness of different approaches to multidisciplinary postacute rehabilitation for participation outcomes, we found a limited number of eligible studies and no clear demonstration that one approach was superior to another." The authors call for further research to "address methodological flaws common in these studies and further address effectiveness research questions." APTA member Douglas E. Bidelspach, PT, MPT, served on the expert technical panel. Bidelspach also served as a peer reviewer with APTA member Karen Lohmann Siegel, PT, MA. APTA has additional information available about evaluation and treatment of people postbrain injury on its TBI webpage.

DENVER — Shane Doan scored his second goal of the game at 4:01 of overtime and Mike Smith stopped 41 shots, helping the Phoenix Coyotes rally for a 3-2 win over the slumping Colorado Avalanche on Monday night.
With time winding down, Avs defenseman Greg Zanon tried to clear the puck from behind his net, but it hit a referee's stake in the corner and bounced to Kyle Chipchura. He quickly passed it over to a wide-open Doan, who shot it over the shoulder of Semyon Varlamov.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored the game-tying goal for Phoenix midway through the final period, and the Coyotes won for the fourth time in five games.
Mark Olver and Matt Duchene had goals for the Avalanche, who had four days of rest but still dropped their third straight.
Just before the end of regulation, David Moss was called for holding, giving the Avs a 4-on-3 advantage to start the extra period. Smith came up big and made one sprawling save after another.
Moss' penalty came just after the Coyotes held the Avs in check when Michael Stone was called for cross-checking with 2:26 remaining in regulation.
The Coyotes came up big killing penalties all game.
Colorado had a chance to gain some breathing room midway through the final period when Jamie McGinn skated in on Smith, only to have his shot turned aside by the goaltender.
The Coyotes quickly flew up ice, getting the puck to Ekman-Larsson near the blue line and letting him go to work. He weaved into the zone and sent a liner through a defenseman and right by Varlamov to tie the game at 2 at the 11:39 mark.
The goal-starved Avalanche finally got their offense cranked up in the second period as Olver scored his first goal of the season. Three minutes later, Duchene slipped the puck past Smith on a breakaway to give the Avs a 2-1 lead.
Keith Yandle nearly tied it late in the second period, only to have his shot from the blue line clang off the post and straight to Varlamov, who quickly covered it up. The referees took a look on replay but upheld the ruling on the ice of no goal.
Phoenix had a 5-on-3 advantage for the final minute of the middle period, with Mikkel Boedker having the best scoring chance when he corralled the puck down low. He attempted to lift it over a sprawled-out Varlamov, only to have the puck carom off the post and high into the air to end the period.
It was a fight-filled game with Cody McLeod squaring off against Chipchura and Patrick Bordeleau later dropping the gloves andgoing after Paul Bissonnette. All were give five-minute majors for fighting.
Doan scored his first goal in eight games midway through the opening period when he circled around the net and sent a backhand shot at Varlamov, which trickled through the goaltender's pads.
Early on, Colorado struggled to get anything past Smith, who was coming off a 1-0 shootout win at San Jose on Saturday in which he stopped 33 shots.
Smith has been difficult for the Avs to solve of late. He entered the game with a 6-1-1 mark and a 1.55 goals against average.
That's how it's been going for the injury-plagued Avs, who have already been shut out three times this season. They were missing a chunk of their offense against Phoenix because captain Gabriel Landeskog missed a seventh straight game with a head injury and forward John Mitchell was sidelined with the flu. Steve Downie is out for the season with a torn ACL.
"Got to go out there and just play the hand you're dealt," Avs coach Joe Sacco said. "We can't worry about who's here and who's not in the lineup."
The team recently went out and claimed Aaron Palushaj off waivers from Montreal, just to add a little more sizzle to their offense. Palushaj played in his first game in an Avs sweater on Monday.
Coyotes D Rostislav Klesla played in his 600th game. … The Coyotes are 15-1-2 in February over last two seasons, including 4-1-1 this season. … The Avalanche closed out a four-game home stand with a 1-2-1 mark.

text: Monday, November 14, 2011 High Court to Hear Challenge to Individual Mandate The Supreme Court this morning agreed to hear appeals from the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in Atlanta, the first appellate review to find the individual mandate provision required in the 2010 health care reform law unconstitutional, says an article in the New York Times. The decision, issued in August from a divided 2-judge panel, said the mandate "overstepped congressional authority and could not be justified by the constitutional power to regulate commerce or to lay and collect taxes." If the high court finds the mandate unconstitutional, the justices also will decide how much of the Affordable Care Act "must fall along with it." Today's announcement sets the stage for oral arguments to begin by March 2012 and a decision to be issued in late June 2012, in the midst of the presidential campaign, the Times says. Comments If the Individual Mandate is overturned, an event that is becoming more unlikely, the healthcare industry and physical therapists will still need to prepare for an ADDITIONAL 23 million Americans with NEW insurance coverage. Federal subsidies provided through state-based insurance purchasing exchanges will mitigate the effect of rate hikes due to any "premium spiral". Most likely, the Individual Mandate will NOT be lifted and we will see an additional 32 million Americans obtain coverage in the next two years.

This year at Insite, Pershing's much-buzzed-about annual conference, the financial business solutions provider will introduce the newest, mobile-friendly version of its NetX360 platform for advisors.
Already available through the Apple iTunes App Store, NetX360 Mobile Version 3.0.19 was updated on iTunes on April 16 and can be used on a wide variety of devices, including the iPhone, Android, iPad, BlackBerry and Microsoft Surface Pro tablet. Three years ago, Pershing was the first of the major custodians to introduce mobile applications for advisors, shortly after Apple introduced the iPad.
Insite 2013, to be held June 5-7 at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood, Fla., will provide a forum for new NetX360 Mobile users to learn more about the updated platform. (In addition, keynote speakers include Hillary Rodham Clinton and Peyton Manning among other luminaries.)
$2 Billion Tech Budget
A BNY Mellon company, Pershing leverages the deep pockets of its parent firm in a way that many competitors can't match. A significant portion of BNY Mellon's $2 billion technology budget goes to Pershing, and those funds give Pershing the freedom to conduct extensive research and development projects via a team of 40 professionals in a usability testing lab, according to Co-Chief Information Officers Lucille Mayer and Ram Nagappan.
"The way we implement technology is different from other financial services firms," Mayer said in April during an interview and tour of the testing lab at Pershing's offices. "The differentiator is our extensive product management, including face-to-face conversations between intermediaries and advisors."
Mayer and Nagappan were named to Computerworld's 2013 Premier 100 IT Leaders list earlier this year.
Every year, Pershing reviews the latest technology trends and then figures out how to apply them to the advisor industry, Nagappan said. This year, he said, the seven biggest trends are:
- Mobility
- Globalization (multicurrency and multilanguage with a single entry point)
- Consumerization (consumers drive the leading edge of IT)
- The Cloud
- Big Data and Analytics
- Security and Risk
- Collaboration
'With Big Data, We Capture Every Click'
"The demand from the investor and advisor will force these changes, especially with younger generations," Nagappan said. "With Big Data, we capture every click—millions and millions—so our user experience lab can determine if a job can get done in just a few clicks."
In a sneak peek of how the new version of NetX360 works via the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet's Windows 8 Pro operating system, an April 30 Pershing release says the app allows investment advisors to have NetX360 open and accessible, while simultaneously working on a document or spreadsheet in a different application.
This operating system not only allows every Microsoft program to appear and work as it would on a desktop personal computer, but it also permits several applications to run on the Surface Pro tablet at one time, according to the release.
"We strive to anticipate our clients' needs and deliver our platform across any device so that they can focus on their clients and the growth of their business. The addition of Microsoft Surface Pro to the array of mobile devices that can support NetX360 speaks to our commitment to putting our clients' needs first and gives them the choice of how they access our platform," Naggapan said in a statement. "NetX360 on the Surface Pro is the latest in a series of mobile innovations and solutions" spanning more than 20 years, and "we will continue to bring new mobile solutions to meet the needs of investment advisors."

Spouses who plan ahead and share with each other how they envision their retirement report a better sense of psychological well-being and financial stability after leaving their work lives behind, according to a recent University of Missouri study.
The new behavioral research from a university health and retirement study of 1,028 dual-earner couples shows that spouses tend to have similar levels of planning for retirement, and this planning and discussion can lead to more success and less stress when they leave the work force.
"The transition into retirement, in some ways, is like the transition into parenthood," said Angela Curl, an assistant professor in the University of Missouri School of Social Work, in a statement. "When couples prepare to become parents, they do a lot of planning for the future. They spend time thinking, 'How might our relationship change? How will our lives be different, and what do we need to do to accommodate this life change?' It's the same way with retirement. It affects so many different areas of life, and by preplanning, couples can make retirement a more positive experience."
The Clinical Gerontologist published Curl's article, "Anticipatory Socialization for Retirement: A Multilevel Dyadic Model," earlier this year. Jerry Ingram, an associate professor at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, co-authored the study.
Curl's analysis of the data from the health and retirement study included information from married couples who were 45 and older and worked full or part time. She found that when one spouse planned, the other spouse also planned, and even though husbands planned more often than wives, the spouses influenced each other.
Older age, being white, earning higher income and possessing greater retirement wealth all predicted a greater likelihood of "anticipatory socialization," or thinking about and discussing retirement, between husbands and wives, the study found.
For wives specifically, having a health problem that limited work, a husband with higher occupational status, and a husband who was looking forward to retirement predicted more anticipatory socialization. For husbands specifically, higher education, more depressive symptoms, and lower occupational status predicted more anticipatory socialization.
"On commercials, retirement is portrayed as a life of golfing, relaxing or walking along beaches together," Curl said. "Sometimes individuals have unrealistic expectations about what retirement will be like. Individuals can envision retirement one way, but if their spouses don't envision retirement the same way, it can be problematic. Talking to your spouse about retirement before you leave the workforce is important in reducing conflict."
While retirement is correlated with income, even individuals with little or no income need to discuss preparations for their older years, Curl added.
"Many times, adults might not think about what it actually means to be retired, or they think about retirement in abstract terms," Curl said. "Individuals need to plan for retirement in more concrete ways. If individuals want to volunteer when they're retired, they might ask themselves where and how often they will volunteer. Having specific plans and steps to follow will help individuals enter retirement with more success."

I've been a web developer for almost 10 years and I've gotten into the habit of trying not to use JavaScript whenever possible. I'm not talking about building web apps here, but database driven websites.
Is this a good/respected approach?
Related: "What is JavaScript, really?"
Answer: The Less Code, The Better (36 Votes)
It's the instinct of most programmers to reduce all sorts of code. The less code, the fewer complexities, and the fewer points of possible error in said code. This rule applies to JavaScript just as well as other languages. You're just upholding the tradition.
Use Javascript as needed/desired within HTML pages... but there's no reason to use it when its not actually needed.
Answer: Use JavaScript (24 Votes)
Edit: A different question is: If you should provide some minimal functionality of your web site when your visitors don't have JS enabled—that's mostly a good idea, for the reasons some of the commenters have pointed out.
Edit 2: Surely for every website, one has to find a balance between user-friendliness, search-engine-friendliness and development effort. IMHO today Javascript can help to improve that balance—if used wisely. Said that, I think there is no need to generally minimize Javascript usage today any more to keep that balance. Use it with care, and don't demonize it.
Related: "How important is graceful degradation of JavaScript?"
Answer: Take Nothing for Granted (6 Votes)
You should look into the concept of "progressive enhancement", where you build a site to work without JavaScript, then add a JavaScript layer on top to improve the user experience. That way you'll have a site that is at least usable to people without JavaScript.
Think you know whether or not your should limit JavaScript when developing a site? Disagree with the opinions expressed above?

NHTSA — Power Train: Automatic Transmission: Lever And Linkage: Floor Shift Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002 Honda Accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (SRS). We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague.
The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 90,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000. Transmission failure has been a huge problem for the Accord & several other Honda models all through the early 2000s model years. Honda extended the transmission warranty to 93 months/109k miles for the 2000-2001 Accord as a class action lawsuit settlement, but owners of other Accord model years with transmission problems are out of luck.
Subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned A/C drain hose directly above that area. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000.
The SRS warning light likes to come on due to a defective seat belt sensor -- typically the driver's side. This sensor is covered under Honda's lifetime seat belt warranty, but some dealers charge a $100+ "diagnostic fee" or tell customers the entire SRS unit ($800) is bad.

AN UNFINISHED LOAFI can't seem to find a single drawing program that has all the fundamental tools you need to do good clean finished drawings in it.
I have to use at least 2 programs to get a clean drawing done and then I have to spend a ton of time fixing up details. - There oughta be quick and easy clean up tools in the drawing programs.
The way I'm doing it now is I import my rough drawing into illustrator and then ink the lines
But the brush tool in illustrator, although smooth is full of irritating quirks.
I ink with a thick and thin pressure sensitive brush but the ends of the line are always pointy. That means I have to overshoot every line that crosses or touches another so that where they cross they are sort the same thickness - but even that doesn't quite work.
Then I am stuck with all these extra overshot lines that cross each other and I need a simple way to cut them off. The eraser doesn't work and is too time-consuming.
In Harmony, they have a nifty tool that you can just click the overshoot and delete it. Too bad Toonboom doesn't make a drawing program.
So after I have inked a drawing in Illustrator, I export it to Photoshop - while keeping the layers (and turning "anti-aliasing" off)
Then I have to manually go in and clean up all the overshot lines. The eraser tool is too clumsy for that and takes too long. I have to zoom way in close and use the pencil tool at 1 pixel size and draw an extra line to cut off the corners. Then I use the wand and select the overshoot and delete it.
Too many steps!!
You'd think someone out there would make a program that was truly artist friendly and that had all the essential drawing and cleanup tools in one simple toolbox.
Each program seems to have some good ideas for tools, but they only half figured them out.
But they all have millions of random non-essential menus, tools and gimmicks that I can't imagine more than 1% of the artist population would have any interest in.

Care-free Maintenance
Our surfaces will keep their enduring luster and beauty for years to come, with minimal effort. Warm water and a splash of mild detergent is all that´s required to keep them looking their best, and to make things even easier – there´s no need to wax or seal.
Temperature Control
Quartz is highly heat resistant and is both durable and hard-wearing. But even Caesarstone surfaces need protection from very high temperatures – a pad or trivet placed between countertop and hot object will do the trick.
Caesarstone is more heat resistant than other stone surfaces including most granite, marble and limestone; and is not affected by temperatures lower than 150 degrees. However, like all stone material, Caesarstone can be damaged by sudden and rapid temperature changes.
Therefore, we suggest that hot pots and pans never be directly placed on the surface. We also recommend a hot pad or trivet be placed on the surface under cooking units such as electric frying pans, crock pots, or roaster ovens.
Remove even stubborn spills and stains easily
Life´s inevitable spills and stains can usually be cleaned up effortlessly with soap and water. More stubborn stains may require a putty knife or non scratch pad- leaving surfaces ready to be polished to their former brilliance.
It´s important to be aware that like any other surface, Caesarstone can be permanently damaged if exposed to strong chemicals and solvents that can damage its physical properties. Never clean your Caesarstone surface with products that contain Trichloroethane or Methylene chloride, such as paint removers or strippers.
Avoid the use of highly aggressive cleaning agents such as oven/grill cleaners and dishwasher polishing agents that have high alkaline/pH levels (pH 8.5 or higher). Products containing oils or powders may leave a residue and should be rinsed off thoroughly.
Should your surface accidentally be exposed to any of these damaging products, rinse immediately with clean water to neutralize the effect.
What not to use
Caesarstone quartz surfaces, just like other surfaces, can be damaged by strong chemicals and solvents. Don´t be tempted to use abrasive agents, such as oven or dishwasher cleaners on your surfaces. If they do come into contact with a non-recommended product, rinse thoroughly in clean water.
If needed, apply a non-abrasive household cleaners (a non-abrasive cleaner will not dull the surface shine) and rinse to remove residue. To remove adhered material such as food, gum , nail polish or even dried paint ,first scrape away excess material with a plastic putty knife and then use a damp cloth to remove any marks or residual dirt.

Most kids battle diarrhea from time to time, but the good news is that it's often caused by infections that don't last long and usually are more disruptive than dangerous. Still, it's important to know what to do to relieve and even prevent diarrhea.
Diarrhea — frequent runny or watery bowel movements (poop) — is usually brought on by gastrointestinal (GI) infections caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites.
The specific germs that cause diarrhea can vary among geographic regions depending on their level of sanitation, economic development, and hygiene. For example, developing countries with poor sanitation or where human waste is used as fertilizer often have outbreaks of diarrhea when intestinal bacteria or parasites contaminate crops or drinking water.
In developed countries, including the United States, diarrhea outbreaks are more often linked to contaminated water supplies, person-to-person contact in places such as child-care centers, or "food poisoning" (when people get sick from improperly processed or preserved foods contaminated with bacteria).
In general, infections that cause diarrhea are highly contagious. Most cases can be spread to others for as long as someone has diarrhea, and some infections can be contagious even longer.
Diarrheal infections can be spread through:
Anything that the infectious germs come in contact with can become contaminated. This includes toys, changing tables, surfaces in restrooms, even the hands of someone preparing food. Kids can become infected by touching a contaminated surface, such as a toilet or toy, and then putting their fingers in their mouths.
A common cause of diarrhea is viral gastroenteritis (often called the "stomach flu," it also can cause nausea and vomiting). Many different viruses can cause viral gastroenteritis, which can pass through a household, school, or day-care center quickly because it's highly infectious. Although the symptoms usually last just a few days, affected kids (especially infants) who are unable to get adequate fluid intake can become dehydrated.
Rotavirus infection is a frequent cause of viral gastroenteritis in kids. Rotavirus usually causes explosive, watery diarrhea, although not all will show symptoms. Rotavirus has commonly caused outbreaks of diarrhea during the winter and early spring months, especially in child-care centers and children's hospitals, however, a vaccine now recommended for infants has been found to prevent approximately 75% of cases of rotavirus infection and 98% of the severe cases that require hospitalization.
Another group of viruses that can cause diarrhea in children, especially during the summer months, are enteroviruses, particularly coxsackievirus.
Many different types of bacteria and parasites can cause GI and diarrhea. Here are a few that you may have heard about:
Diarrheal infections are a normal part of childhood for many kids, but diarrhea can be a symptom of a number of non-infectious diseases and conditions, especially when it lasts several weeks or longer. It can indicate food allergies, lactose intolerance, or diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease.
Symptoms typically start with crampy abdominal pain followed by diarrhea that usually lasts no more than a few days. Infections with many of the viruses, bacteria, and parasites that cause diarrhea also can bring on other symptoms, such as:
In cases of viral gastroenteritis, kids often develop fever and vomiting first, followed by diarrhea.
Although it's almost impossible to prevent kids from ever getting infections that cause diarrhea, here are some things to help lessen the likelihood:
Call your doctor if your child has diarrhea and is younger than 6 months old or has:
Call the doctor immediately if your child seems to be dehydrated. Signs of dehydration include:
Mild diarrhea is usually no cause for concern as long as your child is acting normally and drinking and eating enough. Mild diarrhea usually passes within a few days and kids recover completely with care at home, rest, and plenty of fluids.
A child with mild diarrhea who isn't dehydrated or vomiting can continue eating and drinking the usual foods and fluids, including breast milk or formula for infants and milk for kids over 1 year old. In fact, continuing a regular diet may even reduce the duration of the diarrhea episode, while also offering proper nutrition. Of course, you may want to give a child smaller portions of food until the diarrhea ends.
Antibiotics or antiviral medications are not prescribed for cases of diarrhea caused by bacteria and viruses because most kids recover on their own. But antibiotics are sometimes given to very young children or those with weak immune systems to prevent a bacterial infection (such as salmonellosis) from spreading through the body.
If the illness is caused by a parasite, it can be treated with antiparasitic medicines to cure or shorten the course of the illness. The doctor may order a stool test, in which a stool sample will be examined in the laboratory to see which specific germ is causing the diarrhea (bacteria, virus, or parasite).
Although you may be tempted to give your child an over-the-counter anti-diarrhea medication, don't do so unless your doctor gives the OK.
The primary concern when treating a diarrhea is the replacement of fluids and electrolytes (salts and minerals) lost from the body from diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. Depending on the amount of fluid loss and the severity of vomiting and diarrhea, your doctor will probably instruct you to:
Many of the "clear liquids" used by parents or recommended by doctors in the past are no longer considered appropriate for kids with diarrhea. Don't offer: plain water, soda, ginger ale, tea, fruit juice, gelatin desserts, chicken broth, or sports drinks. These don't have the right mix of sugar and salts and can even make diarrhea worse. Infants and small children should never be rehydrated with water alone because it doesn't contain adequate amounts of sodium, potassium, and other important minerals and nutrients.
Doctors often recommend that kids who show signs of mild dehydration be given oral rehydration solutions to replace body fluids quickly. These are available in most grocery stores and pharmacies without a prescription. Brand-name solutions often end in "lyte." Your doctor will tell you what kind to give, how much, and for how long. Never try to make your own ORS at home unless your doctor says it's OK and gives you a precise recipe.
In some cases, kids with severe diarrhea may need to receive IV fluids at the hospital for a few hours to help combat dehydration.
The best way to manage your child's diarrhea depends on how severe it is, what germ caused it, and your child's age, weight, and symptoms. So be sure to ask your doctor for recommendations about treatment.

gnome.org? - is this cooperation between KDE and gnome for once?

Re: gnome.org?
libart is hosted in Gnome CVS, dunno you can call it a Gnome project. KDE and Mozilla use it just like any other library.
Re: gnome.org?
Look for wvWare which is also kde-gnome. But mostly from kde people.

Re: gnome.org?
Hehe :)
wvWare 1.0 is and was written by (and is maintained by) people closely associated with the AbiWord project, which I also happen to maintain. Not to mention its libole2 dependency that we helped write as well as the scaled-back Glib that I rewrote.
wvWare 2.0 was a stalled collaboration between the KOffice folks and myself, of which the KDE folks did most of the work thus far. Please note that 'thus far' in this case means "no where near functional." Werner, David Faure and a few Gnomies (myself included) chatted on IRC this weekend. Shaheed Hacque couldn't attend, unfortunately. Anyway, we talked about reviving the project, future plans, licensing, APIs, dependencies/requirements (such as libole2's replacement, libgsf - maintainer and lead author/architect Jody Goldberg[gnumeric], coauthored by me), division of labor, etc... and things seemed to go well. I'm only hoping that this turns out better than things did last summer.
I am very much wvWare 1.0's current author and maintainer (mad props go to Caolan McNamara, though, for all of his hard work). wvWare 2.0 is very much incomplete and in a state flux, though it will be a teriffic product when it is finished. We hope to make it as good as, if not better than, wvWare 1.0 in a short amount of time.

Re: Wait a second...WHICH distributions?!?
And you know what's even cooler? You can apt-get them. Get it setup at freshrpms.net and then point to the appropriate www.math.unl.edu directories.

I seem to be missing a dependency:

Any ideas where I can get this RedHat RPM? The unl directories don't have this. I can't even find this on RawHide! Should I just --nodeps it?

Yes, apt is a rpm dependancy resolution tool and greatly eases the task of keeping your machine up-to-date. For more details about the use of apt to keep your KDE current, check out http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/

any more ideas?

Re: Wait a second...WHICH distributions?!?
As far as I can see, you're packages are RawHide packages with you're own patches!!??
The meaning with my packages was, to make then run on a std. RedHat-7.2 without having to apply a plethora of new packages.
I have tried to install the RawHide packages on my machine, and the dependency problem was a nightmare, but then again, the RawHide is not meant for production or stable workstation, but for developers and tasters (correct me if I'm wrong).
In fact the user dont have to download any packages other than the KDE packages, and just use packages delivered woth RedHat, this makes it an ease to install.

Re: Wait a second...WHICH distributions?!?
I ported the rawhide packages to RedHat 7.2/7.3, yes. I chose this so the kde I (and my department used) would mirror redhat's development (and redhat 8.0) as close as possible (and I get the advantage of seeing/watching redhat's bug-tracking via bugzilla.redhat.com).
As for dependancies, well, yes, there are some, and that's one reason why I my kde rpms are apt'able (apt-get), so that dependancies are handled for you.

Re: debian packages
its no problem compiling them though. just add an extra entry to the /debian/changelog and go "dpkg-builtpackage" in the packages root-dir. (I tried it today). the only thng you need to make sure is that you have libxslt1-dev installed before compiling. For all other dependencies you should get error-messages rather in the beginning, but for this one, you don*t get before some time at the end of the built-process.

word filters
Can koffice export to MS Word .doc yet?
By me at Sat, 2002/08/10 - 5:00am
Re: word filters
shouldn't reply to my own post, but i found the filters status page (http://www.koffice.org/filters/status.phtml).
Are people working on these export filters? (as much as we might hate it MS's file formats are the standard these days - i apply for a job, they ask me to email my cv in .doc format) Also is anyone working on OpenOffice import/export filters? (probably the second most important file format to support)
By me at Sat, 2002/08/10 - 5:00am
Re: word filters
KOffice is still lack of developers. Visit the filters status page, then go on to each filter, then count how many (part-time) developers are working on it. Filters will be substantially improved, but if only KOffice gets more help (code/test/money/etc)
By ariya at Sat, 2002/08/10 - 5:00am
Re: word filters
Oh how I hate all this jabbing about filters, like when you see a reviw of a office program you realy get a rant of how good/bad the filters are and not the more important: the use and fuctionality of said program. If people could start to think they vould see filters are NOT the be all for a package, but more a nice to have feature. Back in the old days World Perfect had closer to 90% of the wordprocessor market and Lotus 1-2-3 nearly the same for spreadsheets, but now Word and Exel have taken their places. This was not becouse of supperior filters I can tell you, you usaually got the text and mostly the pictures/clipart but the layout and formating got more or less mangled every time and had to be redone.
Most of what you send/recive are ment as read only anyway, like your CV, and there Koffice realy shines thanks to the nice kprint framwork. Use PDFs, it's Adobes and realy not free but it's pretty close and cross platform. Besides I consider sending word/exel macroviruses very bad form:)
And if you recive lots of heavy formated doc/xls files, the crossover-plugin don't cost that much and ms-word and xl viewers are gratis dowloaded from M$.
If you have lots of docs you regulary edit/use or some big not finished docs, and you want to change app, you have the only big reason to need filters.
By Morty at Sat, 2002/08/10 - 5:00am
Re: word filters
I don't like recieving .doc's from people, but when i'm applying for jobs i'll do whatever they want - and most specify .doc's unfortunately
By me at Sat, 2002/08/10 - 5:00am
Re: word filters
Yeah, see the problem, have always hated the jobbhunting bit and this make it suck even more:) BTW have you tried to send a PDF anyway, with a polite note sayig you don't own word, but you could get back to them with a .doc file if they can't use the PDF (perhaps pointier to Acrobat reader). It's a gamble, but they would notice your application and thats usually good:) If one of the jobb requrements are ms-office skills, probably not:).
My last replay was mostly becouse today I read the second "test/reviw" of office progs. this week and both realy bolied down comparison of the filters, not what I was interested in (and consider more important) the usability, functionality, speed etc. Even payed for the crappy magazine:(

Re: word filters
Oh how I hate when people tell me what features are important to me. For many people if they can't seemlessly send and receive word documents from co-workers/clients the office suite is useless. Count yourself lucky that these features are not needed by you. Sure there are ways to get around it (PDFs, txt files etc), but they are unwieldy and difficult to understand for non-technical people (What do you mean you don't have Microsoft Excel?). Until KOffice has a solid set of Import/Export filters it is simply unusable in most business environments.

Re: word filters
> Oh how I hate when people tell me what features are important to me.
Really? Maybe there's a reason they tell you? In any case the point wasn't aimed at you. It was made in general. And it was a good point. Having good import and export without a solid feature set is a sure way to alienate everyone.
> For many people if they can't seemlessly send and receive word documents from co-workers/clients the office suite is useless.
Maybe so, which is why I specify koffice docs in my office. There's always openoffice.org if for some reason I have to sent to the brain dead.
> Count yourself lucky that these features are not needed by you.
Luck has nothing to do with it. It was freedom of choice... goes well with entrepneurial spirit. If you're counting on luck you're always going to be living off whatever people will hand you because ships don't come in that you don't send out.
> Sure there are ways to get around it (PDFs, txt files etc), but they are unwieldy and difficult to understand for non-technical people
What are you a troll?! Do you know how to use the KDE print system to print to PDF. For that matter Postscript and PDF are options with ghostscript printing for years. Although I don't run windoze I find it really difficult to believe they won't have a PDF reader (they're still free and very popular on the web) and that there won't be a pdf association that makes it a one click affair. Besides... Wurd docs may look different from system to system for settings or fonts where as pdf is... well Portable Document Format. Duh?
> (What do you mean you don't have Microsoft Excel?)
If you're ashamed of your computing choices switch... or did you already? I told a college student in the gym I used Linux and he looked at me with awe and asked "What make's it so great?". I tell other business people I don't use M$ software and they look at me like I had money falling out of my pockets and ask how I do it. I can assure you anyone who cuts the checks or hires the huge support staff is not going to scoff at you. However the ditzy secretary might... I'm sure you want to impress her.
> Until KOffice has a solid set of Import/Export filters it is simply unusable in most business environments.
Says you? I believe the previous poster was right. When Koffice produces a solid and usable suite that fits well within an organization it will be more widely used. It is more friendly and less bloated than OO and it has a lot of promise.
As for the filter issue, in case you're forgetting that Koffice is widely developed by volunteers, what is needed is for more people to step forward. I have my own project (Quanta) and I don't frankly care about the filters exporting because I'm sending PDF. If it means so much to you then I suggest you get off your ass and do something about it. Free software is about community. Everyone is welcome to use it but free software critics... may as well be freeloaders to complain about what is give to them for free.
What is really needed for document exchange is open formats, preferably based on XML. Your reasoning does not take into account that M$ changes formats regularly to force upgrades and to mess with competitors by keeping them on a treadmill. In fact M$ Office does not even do a perfect job with the overly complex and difficut format... which dumps out all kinds of personal information about you in plain text...
Thankfully the world is not entirely populated by people with attitudes like this that utterly assure the perpetual domination of M$. Your reasoning would nix Koffice if M$ Office had only a 25% market share. Fortunately other will take initiative on other critical issues where MS office is weak... like standards, unwillingness to fix long standing bugs, bloat, privacy issues and hideous costs.
BTW what I hate is people saying something in public forums that is poorly thought out and works to perpetuate the use of M$ software. The Koffice team has their priorities right.
By Eric Laffoon at Mon, 2002/08/12 - 5:00am
Re: word filters
Eric Laffoon you are completely missing the point.
Lots of people (myself included) CANNOT ditch MSOffice because the most of the world assumes you can read .ppt and .doc. Sure it's easy to print to pdf in KDE but what good does that do me when the people I work with use Windows, Word, and Powerpoint? It isn't easy for them!
I think you're absolutely wrong to think that internal features are more important than filters - most people use a fraction of the capabilities of Word, and would never notice their absence. Not being able to read (for instance) the de-facto standard for presenting (.ppt) EVERYONE will notice.
I've tried KOffice and quite liked it, but until it has functional filters I'm simply not using it.
Thank heavens for openoffice!

Re: word filters
You can consider the RTF import filter as being much more than "alpha".
However, the RTF export filter is not working correctly. (That is the problem of having lost a maintainer.)
As for whatever someone work for these filters, it is always problem: we are lacking manpower.
However DOC import, RTF export, OpenOffice Writer export and XLS import have good chances for KOffice 1.3.
Volunteers welcomed!
Have a nice day/evening/night!

Yo, my name's John, but I've decided that today my name is Robot MD, because doctors get all the ladies and that's something to aspire to. If I weren't gay.
Also, you may remember me from this.
So here we have a beautiful little comic fresh from Randall Munroe's ker-razy head and...oh. It's um. It's not that great is the first thing I notice; it's kind of mediocre. The joke appears to be "What if Facebook were creepy?" and you know what? I agree with Randall that it wouldn't end too well.
1st Panel
We have
Guys, this is why we can't see this man's eyes, he is looking at the wall where his projection is. Maybe that's why we can never see the eyes of all xkcd characters? They're always facing the other way. So my first problem with this comic is, why is the guy facing the other way? I'd like to be able to see his face. So that I can relate to him. EVER HEARD OF THAT RANDY?
Also, I'm pretty sure you can't text from Facebook.
2nd Panel
This is where the "fun" begins. Facebook starts to recommend stuff to do beyond what it usually does. Hilarious right? So the guy thinks it over and starts talking out loud about his feelings. Now, this is just plain inconsiderate. We don't see where he is, but I'm going to assume he's at the library where people don't want to know his problems. You know what? I don't want to know his problem. If I was there I would put some music on or something. Try and liven this shit up.
Oh yeah, and her profile picture changes in this panel, as it does in all of them. Maybe this is a little joke put in by Randall, that the stick man takes so long to make his decision that she is changing her picture while he does it. Or maybe the esteemed Munroe forgot how to use Ctrl-v, which is odd considering how often he's used it in the past.
Who knows?
3rd Panel
This is where Facebook comes into its own. It starts to convince this man, this vulnerable, lonely man that the only thing he wants right now is Susie. But let's be clear here, he only wants Susie's body. He doesn't want to complicate things. But in THE VERY SAME PANEL, Facebook says that life itself is complicated. Oh yes, and there's some hover chairs. I forgot to mention them earlier.
Anyway, we have a little picture of what the stick man and Susie should be doing. And...and I'm not sure I like that picture. For one thing Susie is quite low down on his body, perhaps she is inferior? I guess Randall got a lot of stick for making males inferior, but I think this may be too far in the other direction.
HOWEVER, this if Facebook's idea of what should be done. This is the devil's way of doing things. Randall thinks women should never have to be inferior. Only men should do that.
4th Panel
And here's the punchline. Nope. Hang on, I'll just go look at it again. Okay, no that didn't have a punchline, we just have it get slightly creepier. Although, to be honest, Facebook has just done a little bit of matchmaking. Without Facebook that guy would be sleeping alone tonight, but now he's got a bit of booty to see him through to the dawn. The least that guy could do is let Facebook see the fruits of his efforts.
Speech after the punchline: What punchline?
Alt Text
Nipples need to be licked in the xkcd universe. It's just...it's just a fact.
Okay, we've analysed pretty in depth the individual panels, but it's time to get into the HMS Reasoning. I'll leave you with Captain James Swift as we approach the Archipelago of Themes.
You lot can look through the telescope and I'll tell you what you should be seeing. Right now you should be having a peek at the Island of Unrequited Love. There'll be quite a few characters there, but we're looking for Susie. Can you see her? Good, that's because that's what she represents.
Captain James pulls a lever on the inside of the submarine. It begins to move.
Right, we're going past some more islands. If you can see there, there is an island that we call the Isle of Fate. You'll see Facebook there, as that's what it represents in the comic that we've just read. The bringing together of peoples for its own purposes.
Okay, now on the island on the right, we should be able to see the stick man, the lead character in the illustration we have just read. This is the island of Randal Munroe, because the stick man represents him. The only thing we learn from this is that Randall gets all the ladies, even ones he doesn't want.
He puts the periscope back in its place.
We've got no more need for that old thing. There's no more a salty seadog can do with island metaphors; let's go back to John.
Hey guys, I'm back, just got myself a sandwich. I hope you enjoyed Captain Swift's tour. Last point I want to make is that Susie is an anagram of Megan.
Carl again. What the hell was that? I have no idea. Whatever, he still drew a picture of me arm-wrestling a dinosaur. Oh hey also, why did this comic seem so familiar? OH YEAH it's because this was on the front page of digg like 3 days ago. It's ok Randall! We know you don't use digg and neither do any of your readers so it's ok.
this comic makes me feel unhappy in so many ways. Why is facebook responding to him?

Congress passed must-do legislation Thursday to permit the government to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars more to meet its obligations, averting a first-ever government default that had loomed as early as mid-February.
WASHINGTON — Congress passed must-do legislation Thursday to permit the government to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars more to meet its obligations, averting a first-ever government default that had loomed as early as mid-February.
The 64-34 vote in the Democratic-controlled Senate sent the measure to President Barack Obama, who has said he will sign it. The Republican-led House passed the legislation last week.
The legislation would temporarily suspend the $16.4 trillion limit on federal borrowing, which experts say would allow the government to borrow about $450 billion to meet interest payments and obligations like Social Security benefits and government salaries.
The deadline for Congress to act again to prevent default would likely not come until August, according to calculations by the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington-based think tank.
Without the bill, the Treasury Department says, the government would default on its obligations by as early as mid-February.
"Failure to pass this bill will set off an unpredictable financial panic that would plunge not only the United States, but much of the world, back into recession," said Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont. "Every single American would feel the economic impact."
The short-term increase in the borrowing limit was the brainchild of House Republicans, who wanted to re-sequence a series of upcoming budget battles, taking the threat of a potentially devastating government default off the table and instead setting up a clash in March over automatic across-the-board spending cuts set to strike the Pentagon and many domestic programs.
Those cuts — postponed by the recent "fiscal cliff" deal — are the punishment for the failure of a 2011 deficit supercommittee to reach an agreement. The panel was itself established by the hard-fought 2011 increase in the debt limit.
The Senate vote broke exactly opposite of the House tally last week. Just 12 Republican senators voted for the measure, which swept through the House with widespread GOP support. Only one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, opposed the bill. In the House, most Democrats and top leaders like Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., opposed the legislation.
Democrats went along because the debt increase wasn't contingent on matching cuts to the budget, as long demanded by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
Senate Republicans offered several amendments, but all failed on party-line votes. Any amendments to the bill would have required the House to vote again.
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., proposed an amendment to ensure that in the case of a cash crunch the government would use available tax revenue to make sure that bondholders, Social Security recipients and the military get paid. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, sought to require that any immediate increase in the debt limit be paired with commensurate cuts to spending, which could be spread out over 10 years.
To sell the measure to House GOP conservatives last week, Boehner attached a "no budget, no pay" provision that would withhold pay for House and Senate members if the chamber in which they serve fails to pass a budget plan. That was a slap at the Democratic-controlled Senate, which hasn't passed a budget blueprint since 2009.
The "no budget, no pay" provision was seen by congressional insiders as a bad idea whose time had arrived. For starters, it made members of the minority party dependent on the ability of the majority party to advance a budget if they all were to be paid. But the announcement of the move was quickly followed by an announcement by Senate Democrats that they would indeed advance a budget for the first time in four years.
Lawmakers have already shifted their focus to the across-the-board cuts, which would pare $85 billion from this year's budget after being delayed from Jan. 1 until March 1 and reduced by $24 billion by the recently enacted tax bill. Defense hawks are particularly upset, saying the Pentagon cuts would devastate military readiness and cause havoc in defense contracting. The cuts, called a "sequester" in Washington-speak, were never intended to take effect but were instead aimed at driving the two sides to a large budget bargain.
Republicans and Obama now appear on a collision course over how to replace the across-the-board cuts. Obama and his Democratic allies insist that additional revenues be part of the solution; Republicans say further tax increases are off the table after the 10-year, $600 billion-plus increase in taxes on wealthier earners forced upon Republicans by Obama earlier this month.

This software is designed to enable easier development of web user interfaces for tablets and other gesture-based devices; it also extends support for REST, JPA/EJB business services, and HTML5 technologies; also featured is improved support for Maven for simpler build and continuous integration.
Oracle's developer proposition here is built to suggest to us that the firm offers a complete integrated set of application development tools that support a wide variety of development approaches, technology platforms, and operating systems.
Chris Tonas of Oracle's Application Development Tools division explains that with these latest releases, Oracle is providing a multi-channel Java EE-based development framework — i.e. ,Oracle ADF is used to develop Oracle Fusion Applications as well as other Oracle products and applications. "Customers use the framework to accelerate their development and create richer custom applications that can be deployed across multiple channels," he said.
Tonas says that Oracle ADF "protects organizations from technology shifts" by providing an abstraction layer on top of specific technologies, allowing applications to adopt new UI technologies through support within the framework rather than requiring them to be rewritten.
Also here we find Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse, a free set of Eclipse-based plug-ins that enable developers to build Oracle ADF, Java EE, and Spring-based enterprise applications for the Oracle Fusion Middleware platform and the Oracle Cloud.
