Freedom Of Creation was approached by NEXT architects to create an exact replica of an existing roof structure for a scale model. NEXT Architects needed to include the existing building structure in their model. But how to create such a complex structure quickly and precisely?
3D printing was the answer, the parts were drawn by NEXT architects and produced in one of our Laser Sintering systems. Each of the beam sections is only 1mm in thickness. Combining the 3D printed parts with the traditional maquette built by Made by mistake, NEXT Architects created a fabulous model.
In this project you can really see how traditional model making can be combined perfectly with new rapid manufactured model making.
For more information about making 3D printed maquettes and scale models get in touch with Julian.

Our staff are ready to help you and give you all the travel information and directions you may need during your stay here! Our hotel tour organisers office is one of the most professional in Jordan, with the experts in this field organising tours to the most interesting sites in Jordan for more than 21 years.
We look forward to having you stay here!
It is our pleasure to present to you our special offer through our professional experts in the field of tour organizing in Jordan. With the experience of more than 25 years in preparing and organizing trips around Jordan. The conventional roads which the others use in their tour guides are totally different from us as our experience in discovering the natural roads make it challenging and interesting adventure, which make your trip some thing special. The Program is nine days; however, you can mix and match any of the following segments to fit your schedule.
It is a very special way to start discovering the north of Jordan as we do it in a style equal to the king's highway.
We start our trip from Amman around 8:00 am heading to Jerash, the roman city. This is the first thumb in our program which will take us around 45 minutes to reach from Amman. We will spend between one to tow hours at Jerash and then afterward we will visit Ajloun castle to enjoy its wonderful Islamic decorations above the hills. from there you can see the Jordan River and Palestine as well. After spending around half an hour we head to Bella to visit lots of old churches with magnificent decorations which show the roman historical thumbs, then to the hills of Umm Qais the Napatean historical site. A very interesting thought: you will be standing in Jordan and at the same time watching the other tow borders in front of your eyes, the Syrian & the Israeli boarders which present a unique experience as well as you are only just a few steps away from The Jolan Syrian heights and Tabria Lake in Israel. From there we usually take a special road after visiting the Syrian Hemma (hot spring water) adjoining the Al-YArmok river which runs into the Jordan river and the Israeli border .
We head back to Amman taking another road making it a circle road.
There used to be around ten castles, but after the earthquake which happened in Jordan only one fifth of them still standing. Our trip will start around 8:00 am heading from Amman.
1) Qasar halabat 2) Hammam Al Sarah
3) Al-kharaneh Castle 4) -Amra Castle
5) Al-azraq Castle (Lawrence of Arabia palace)
The visitors will enjoy visiting these castles in the desert. They are centrally located to three borders (Jordan-Saudi Arabia- Iraq)
It is safe and quiet trip. We will back to Amman by the end of the day.
There are three deferent ways to do the trip
- The desert road
- Wadi Araba close to the Israeli borders
- The king's highway
There are lots of companies and travel agents that do organize this kind of a trip in one day. However, our company makes this trip in tow stages.
The First day: From Amman to Madaba to see the mosaics and visit the churches especially saint George church which holds an old map of more than 1500 years old which represents the Middle East, then to mount Nebo. If the whether permits, we will be able to see Jerusalem, Jericho, and the Dead Sea. Afterward we will go down to visit the baptism. Then to the Dead Sea to enjoy the salty water and the mud mask.
The Second Day: Start from Amman to finish the king's highway to madaba without stopping. We will stop in mekawer to visit (Salome altar) where she cheated Johanna. Then to umm al rassas and to wadi al mujib which is called the Jordanian canyon. This is a magnificent place to enjoy the interesting natural views of lakes, hot water falls and hills suitable for hiking. It is a unique opportunity for camping and hiking. The length of the valley about 35 km.
After that we will go up to visit kerak castle to get some rest and may take lunch according to the visitor's desire.
Then to wadi al hissa to see another small canyon, then we will leave through Taffela city to rest at Danna which is more than 1700 meter high. It is full of deferent kinds of wild life creatures, planets, flowers, butterflies and the most wonderful unique flower called the black iris. We will wait for the most interesting surprise of all-the sun set.
All the other organizers were not interested in seeing the sun set although it is really wonderful when you see the sun going down in a vertical angel. At the same time you can listen to the voices of silence around you which could not be heard anywhere in the world. Then we will go down to visit al shouback castle and at the end of the day we will reach wadi mousa to spend the night.
Visiting Petra should not be missed as it is once in a life time experience and has been considered as one of the world's most fascinating places.
Usually it is s full day trip. However, we are able to condense it to a five hour trip making sure you have seen all that can be seen and done. By the end of the day we will drive to wadi rum.
You will sleep in the open desert in a Bedouin tenet at wad rum as it is a magnificent experience you will never forget.
The next day your choices include ridding a camel following the steps of Lawrence of Arabia or four wheeling discovering the desert and its magic. You can start with hiking the monsters hills through our special organized trips.
Afterward we will continue to Aqaba and the Red Sea where we settle in.
Aqaba is only 40 km away from wadi rum. We can spend up to tow hours visiting the city and have your free shopping. Then you can prepare your self to go through another great adventure diving into the wonderful Read Sea water and the coral reef known as the heaven for divers and discovering the magnificent sea creatures. We will spend the night there. The next day we will go back to Amman through our circle road through and by Wadi Araba. You will see Wadi al Mujib and enjoy the views of the bottom were you will see the water running into the Dead Sea. Then you will have the choice of going back to the airport directly or to Amman as you like.
Our company offers the visitors up to tow free hours to visit Amman, the roman theatre and the castle including king Abdullah mosque.

heyyyy, friends!
welcome to the final hours of 2012…seize the day!
resolutions: from my unscientific observations, we either embrace them or refuse 'em. i fall into the ♥ love ♥ camp. but did you know, i did not make any for 2012?! i think that was because this year's kikiproject was structured very much like a resolutions list. two years ago, i did make 2011 resolutions which are chronicled here! (haha, i mean the year 2011, obviously, not that i set two thousand and eleven different goals!).
so, even though i firmly stand by the belief that labour day = the most logical choice for *new year's day,* i'll be conventional and make new year's resolutions that will begin tomorrow. here we go…
refrain from cutting my hair. [sorry mom!!!] my last hair cut was…a very long time ago. july 8, 2011, i do believe. i feel like i have a just-past-the-shoulders sticking point, and i want to see if i can break that barrier. plus, i just can't be bothered with salons.
re-institute outings of the month with mom and dad. this was one of the BEST goals that i set in 2011, and i realized this year that i really missed making a point of seeing mom and dad, separately, once a month. to up the ante this time 'round, dad and will go out for a meal or coffee break once per month at a different location each month AND we have to be able to walk to said location. mom and i will go to some sort of shopping establishment once per month and it has to be a different spot each and every month.
no gum for the entire year. i made it through the ten month gum hiatus, january to november, thanks to this year's kiki project. if i can do ten months (without great struggle), i can go a year!!!
as a last hurrah, i bought these packs of gum…
…and planned to chew them from december 28th to december 31st just because i felt i should take advantage of the opportunity while i could, and enjoy one last kick at the can. well, guess what, the gum chewing was so non-fun, that i chewed gum friday and saturday december 28th and 29th, forcing myself to keep chewing, then finally threw the remaining sticks in the garbage. (!) that action and my lack of interest in chomp-chomping bodes well for 2013 (non)gum chewing success!
drink diet coke under restricted circumstances. as i enthusiastically documented, the eleven months of being diet coke-free turned out to be a monumental success. honestly, i have been turned off pop since december 9th! the hugest proof: i told mom not to bother getting me any diet root beer for our immediate-family christmas traditional dinner which ALWAYS includes diet root beer!!! zowie!! so: for 2013, i can drink a diet coke IF i am out for a
junkfest fast food meal WITH company (as in i can't be on my own). now: wouldn't it be funny/great if i some time order a dc and then can't finish it?!
knitting: i have two main projects on which i am going to focus: 1) i am going to knit sweaters for house of friendship residents and/or out of the cold attendees, and i am going to knit blankets for children for project linus. i bought yarn recently at michaels during a fabulous sale for the first two projects:
my theme for the year is going to be variegated yarn -> i will ONLY knit with variegated yarn! i will track on an excel spreadsheet (i love tracking things) how many of each project i can complete. at the end of 2013, i will donate the produced items to the respective organizations.
of course, it would be a travesty to go a whole twelve months without producing anything for my little darlings, so you can be pretty much assured that little e and cutie c will be on the receiving end of *something* at some point during the year!
do one month of all-the-yoga-you-can-yoga-for-$40 at moksha yoga. at some point this year, i will sign up for one month unlimited yoga at moksha. ahhhhh! i would do it immediately, but i have a feeling the studio will be super crowded in january with all of us resolution-makers. hot yoga during the winter does sound great, though!
increase upper body fat (ie arms and shoulders). as a former fitness instructor, i know you cannot spot reduce; therefore i am doubtful that i can spot poof-i-fy my upper story. but i can try??? i am not going for a muscled/chiseled/hard look; i want a softer, roundy shape from my neck to my wrists. more weights and more cheese???…
increase the amount of face-time spent with friends and family. i feel so energized, positive and happy after socials and in-person visiting! i do see a lot of my friends and family; but, bring on more, more, more!!
floss every day: i have sorely fallen off the bandwagon with my flossing. if i state it here, i will remain accountable!
read a lot [i am adding this goal because then i have ten resolutions and ten is a lovely, solid number]. i read sixteen books this year, so my 2013 goal will be to surpass that mark.
et voilà!
happy new year!
resolutions: do you love them or leave them? bonus answer – > share a 2013 goal!

Ancient Ethiopian genome reveals extensive Eurasian admixture throughout the African continent – "Here, we present a 12.5x coverage ancient genome of an Ethiopian male ('Mota') who lived approximately 4,500 years ago. We use this genome to demonstrate that the Eurasian backflow into Africa came from a population closely related to Early Neolithic farmers, who had colonized Europe 4,000 years earlier. The extent of this backflow was much greater than previously reported, reaching all the way to Central, West and Southern Africa, affecting even populations such as Yoruba and Mbuti, previously thought to be relatively unadmixed, who harbor 6-7% Eurasian ancestry." – h/t john hawks! who tweeted: "First ancient DNA from Ethiopia shows that today's sub-Saharan Africans are at least 0.2-0.7% Neanderthal ancestry!" – see also: First Ancient African Genome Reveals Vast Eurasian Migration – "The man's genome is, unsurprisingly, more closely related to present-day Ethiopian highlanders known as the Ari than to any other population the team examined, suggesting a clear line of descent for the Ari from ancient human populations living in the area. But further genetic studies show that the Ari also descend from people that lived outside Africa, which chimes with a previous study that discovered a 'backflow' of humans into Africa from Eurasia around 3,000 years ago."
Eight thousand years of natural selection in Europe – "The arrival of farming in Europe around 8,500 years ago necessitated adaptation to new environments, pathogens, diets, and social organizations…. We identify genome-wide significant signatures of selection at loci associated with diet, pigmentation and immunity, and two independent episodes of selection on height…. These results suggest that the modern South-North gradient in height across Europe is due to both increased steppe ancestry in northern populations, and selection for decreased height in Early Neolithic migrants to southern Europe. "
The Hybrid Origin of "Modern" Humans – "Recent genomic research has shown that hybridization between substantially diverged lineages is the rule, not the exception, in human evolution. However, the importance of hybridization in shaping the genotype and phenotype of Homo sapiens remains debated. Here we argue that current evidence for hybridization in human evolution suggests not only that it was important, but that it was an essential creative force in the emergence of our variable, adaptable species."
Neanderthal 'flower children' burials theory debunked – "New research casts doubt on the idea that Neanderthals buried their dead covered in flowers."
Intelligence in youth and health at age 50 – "Higher intelligence in youth is linked with better physical health at age 50." – h/t andrew sabisky!
Chorionicity and Heritability Estimates from Twin Studies: The Prenatal Environment of Twins and Their Resemblance Across a Large Number of Traits – "There are three types of monozygotic (MZ) twins. MZ twins can either share one chorion and one amnion, each twin can have its own amnion, or MZ twins can—like dizygotic twins—each have their own chorion and amnion. Sharing the same chorion may create a more similar/dissimilar prenatal environment and bias heritability estimates…. We conclude that the influence on the MZ twin correlation of the intra-uterine prenatal environment, as measured by sharing a chorion type, is small and limited to a few phenotypes."
Genetic transmission of reading ability – h/t steve stewart williams! who tweeted: "If you want your kids to read, your best bet is to have kids with a reader."
It All Began at Ararat, and Esau's Revenge – "Ancient DNA in Europe strongly indicates massive replacement [of hunter-gatherers by agriculturalists]. But, there is also suggestion of admixture with the local substrate. And, unlike the stylized model of Bellwood, it seems that there were multiple migrations after the initial pulse which reshaped the genetic and cultural landscape of human societies in the wake of agriculture." – from razib.
Closing the Black-White IQ Gap Debate, Part I – from chanda chisala. and a response from peter frost: No, blacks aren't all alike. Who said they were? – and previously on this blog: there's more to human biodiversity than just racial differences.
The Association of Cognitive Ability with Right-wing Ideological Attitudes and Prejudice: A Meta-analytic Review – "The present meta-analyses revealed an average effect size of r = −.20 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) [−0.23, −0.17]; based on 67 studies, N = 84 017] for the relationship between cognitive ability and right-wing ideological attitudes and an average effect size of r = −.19 (95% CI [−0.23, −0.16]; based on 23 studies, N = 27 011) for the relationship between cognitive ability and prejudice."
[male] Chimps like boys toys too – "If you want to know why young boys play with toy guns, you could do worse than consider why young male chimpanzees play with leaves and stones." – h/t darren burke! who tweeted: "Western social constructivism is so insidious and widespread it is even affecting wild chimpanzees now!" – (~_^)
Ravens cooperate, but not with just anyone – "Ravens detect cheaters in cooperation."
Understanding the Cognitive and Genetic Underpinnings of Procrastination: Evidence for Shared Genetic Influences With Goal Management and Executive Function Abilities – procrastination (at least) 28% heritable. will have to read original paper. tomorrow, maybe. (~_^)
Personality Traits Increasingly Important for Male Fertility: Evidence from Norway – "[P]ersonality relates to men's and women's fertility differently; conscientiousness decreases female fertility, openness decreases male fertility and extraversion raises the fertility of both sexes. Neuroticism depresses fertility for men, but only for those born after 1956."
Host genetic variation impacts microbiome composition across human body sites – "Our results highlight the role of host genetic variation in shaping the composition of the human microbiome, and provide a starting point toward understanding the complex interaction between human genetics and the microbiome in the context of human evolution and disease."
DNA At the Fringes: Twins, Chimerism, and Synthetic DNA – h/t genetics and society! who tweeted: "Chimeras could undermine DNA forensics & use of DNAtesting as conclusive proof of crime & family."
Ethnic differences in the association between depression and chronic pain: cross sectional results from UK Biobank [pdf] – h/t don lyall!
Emotion, rationality, and decision-making: how to link affective and social neuroscience with social theory
Women and men react differently to infidelity – "While men are most jealous of sexual infidelity, women are most jealous of emotional infidelity." – w.e.i.r.d. study. (n=1000).
'Safe spaces' exist because universities treat secular ideas as sacred – "The most influential effect of this cultural and political imbalance is that academia has ignored the increasing evidence that human traits are heavily influenced by hereditary factors, most prominently in intelligence and sexual differences. This has a huge bearing on public policy, especially when so much of policy is involved in tackling inequality of various kinds. It would be like trying to reduce economic inequality while pretending that wealth cannot be inherited, because that's offensive to people's parents, and that all fortunes were the results of education, hard work or sheer luck." – from ed west.
Relics of the Blank Slate, as Excavated at "Ethics" Magazine – "There's a reason that the Blank Slaters clung so bitterly to their absurd orthodoxy for so many years. If there is such a thing as human nature, then all the grandiose utopias they concocted for us over the years, from Communism on down, would vanish like so many mirages." – from helian.
Anthropologist: "I've Never Been So Disgusted with My Own Data" – from steve sailer.
"Ethics" is advertising – david chapman on virtue signaling (trans: signalling. (~_^) ).
Two Fed economists tried to replicate some top economic studies — and the results are dreadful – from mike bird.
The shifting tide of American immigration – from colin woodard.

Excavations at Mexican ruin site yields new details of Aztecs' sacrifice of captured Spaniards – "It was one of the worst defeats in one of history's most dramatic conquests: Only a year after Hernan Cortes landed in Mexico, hundreds of people in a Spanish-led convey were captured, sacrificed and apparently eaten."
bonus: Most worker ants are slackers – "[N]ew research shows that many ants in a colony seem to specialize in doing nothing at all. To get a closer look at how these ants filled their time, researchers marked every member of five lab-based colonies with dots of colored paint. Over the course of 2 weeks, a high-definition camera recorded 5-minute segments of the ants in action six times a day, capturing their behavior (or lack thereof). Out of the 'workers,' 71.9% were inactive at least half the time, and 25.1% were never seen working. A small fraction of the ants, just 2.6%, were always active during observation, the researchers wrote last month in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology."
bonus bonus: How to Dupe a Dung Beetle – "A case of biological mimicry has been spotted in Ceratocaryum argenteum, a South African plant that tricks dung beetles into spreading its stinky seeds."
bonus bonus bonus: Elephants: Large, Long-Living and Less Prone to Cancer – "Dr. Schiffman and his colleagues found that elephants have evolved new copies of the p53 gene ["a gene that is crucial for preventing cancer"]. While humans have only one pair of p53 genes, the scientists identified 20 pairs in elephants."

A slight problem: I am using Pocomail 4.8, and it works wonders.
But in the folder-pane, an empy folder (grey) labelled "Emoticons" appears... but empty.
Although in Pocomail4, it appears ans is NOT empty.
How can I use these emoticons in my mail?
It is not such a "serious" issue, but I like evrything ship-shape!

Mindy McCready Also Killed Her Dog – But Not in Malice, Friend Says
While the country music world tries to find some solace after the shocking death of Mindy McCready, devastating details continue to pour in. The latest piece of news regarding the singer is as troubling as her tortured mind probably felt.
The star was apparently not alone when she ended her life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound --- her dog was lying next to her on the front porch, also fatally shot. People reports that a source close to the star says McCready's decision to kill her dog would "not have been an act of malice" (quote via Fox News).
In fact, the source says, "Mindy really loved her dog. It would have been more of a case where she just didn't want to leave the dog alone."
We'll never know what the 37-year-old mother, who leaves behind two young children, was thinking when she ended her pet's life. All we know is that McCready will forever be remembered as one whose life ended too tragically, too soon.

York Church Court Records Online
According to BBC News, the York Cause Papers, which "record the proceedings of the ecclesiastical courts of York from 1300 to 1858," have now been digitized and are available on line. "The papers give detailed accounts of arguments ranging from church taxes on liquorice, roses and pigeon dung to rows over marriage, wills and inheritance."
3 comments:
At Connected Histories, the portal to many British digitized sources, the York Casue Papers are also said to be free accessible. The introduction to these records at http://www.connectedhistories.org/resource.aspx?sr=bc talks about document images, too, but when you check the project website you will find no images, only a link asking you to order copies of the dcouments involved. For now the project offers only a very interesting and useful catalogue of the York Cause Papers.

I continued to wonder about the announcement of the arrival of digital images of the York Cause Papers, but today I did find at last images attached to some cases. I guess we will have to wait patiently for more images.

The Vamps + Demi Lovato Soak Up the Sun in 'Somebody to You' Videoby Maggie Malach | PopCrush
If you need proof that the Vamps were ready for summer, look no further than their 'Somebody to You' video! The track — which features Demi Lovato — is upbeat, breezy and totally perfect for the warmer weather.
The guys soak up the sun, playing soccer, goofing around and, of course, rocking out on the beach. The song is totally sweet and the sun-drenched video makes us want to be on the water like, now. Demi's incredible voice complements the Vamps' and together, the musicians sound amazing.
Naturally, when the sun goes down, the party heats up. The guys play for an enthusiastic audience of dancing fans, leading them to clap their way through the chorus.
While this video doesn't have the all-night rager feel of 'Last Night,' it has a certain sweetness and a catchy vibe that makes us want to watch it again and again.
Check out the Vamps 'Somebody to You' featuring Demi Lovato in the video above!

How To: Use Cultural Practices to Prevent Disease
Turfgrass diseases are tough to control. Fungicides can be expensive and, in some cases, you can't entirely control the disease unless some other cultural practice alters the environment. In general, for a disease to develop, the right plant, the right organism and the right environment must all be present. Eliminating just one of these items through a change in cultural practice can reduce or eliminate the disease.
- Select appropriate species of cultivar
If you are planning a new installation or renovating, select species suited to the sun exposure, soil conditions, level of maintenance and intended usage to avoid problems later on. You might even consider incorporating a blend of disease-resistant cultivars.
- Use pest-free seed, sod, plugs or sprigs
The disease-causing organisms may or may not be present already — don't take the chance of importing the problem.
- Promote a healthy root system through proper preparation of the soil
Plants with healthy root systems are able to better withstand disease pressure because they can bring in adequate water and nutrients. Correct any compaction and poor drainage problems to allow for oxygen to move into the soil. Test the soil for nutrients and pH for the species you are growing.
- Mow at the proper height
No matter where turf is growing or how it is used, the higher the mowing height, the deeper the root system, the more disease-resistant the plants. Golf greens that are mowed very short are constantly bombarded with disease problems, in part due to the low mowing height. If your turfgrass is not a golf green, mow at the highest recommended level, depending on the species.
- Irrigate to the needs of your turfgrass
Underwatering and overwatering lead to stress and death of roots, resulting not only in reduced water uptake, but also reduced nutrient uptake. As odd as it may seem, overwatering also results in drought stress because the roots will drown or become infected with water-loving pathogens.
- Fertilize to the needs of your plants
Pay attention to research that can guide you in your fertilization practices. Some turfgrasses may respond only to small amounts of nitrogen, whereas others respond and grow luxuriously when given excessive amounts of nitrogen. Potassium plays a larger role in fertilization practices, especially when promoting disease-resistant, drought- and heat-tolerant plants. Phosphorus is the power station of the plant — without adequate amounts, all plant processes, including disease resistance, are affected. Take regular soil tests to monitor these levels. Depending on the maintenance level, you may want to test yearly or every two to three years once nutrient levels are adequate. If you are building up levels of phosphorus or potassium, you may want to test every six months to determine how your fertilizations are affecting soil levels. Many of these principles can be applied to annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs.

We recently spent 94 minutes in front of a movie screen watching 127 hours, the riveting story of American mountain climber, Aron Ralston, whose ordeal gripped the nation in May 2003 when he was forced to cut off his arm (we averted our eyes here) in order to survive his adventure.
What's striking about the movie is that, even knowing the predicament and the outcome in advance, it is, nevertheless, compelling, fascinating, mesmerizing.
And very real. And all too human. I think we all recognize that Aron Ralston could be any one of us (well, except for the fact that I hate hiking!).
When Mr. Ralston set out on his adventure to climb Blue John Mountain in Utah, he didn't tell anyone where he was going. His mother called and he ignored her message. He lived a life isolated from others, pushing people away, avoiding intimacy.
When his arm gets stuck "between a rock and a hard place" (the title of his book and possibly the first time that expression was meant literally), he tries many different maneuvers in an effort to free himself – all without success. After a few days of fruitless attempts, the situation gets more desperate and he begins to reflect, "I'm such a big hero that I came out here and I didn't tell anybody where I was going. Oops."
We have a friend who works in the Canadian Rockies doing search and rescue. He told us that every time someone needs their assistance, it's because they have done something foolish or reckless.
Ralston is beginning to recognize this, to acknowledge that his isolationism is not a healthy attitude – neither physically nor psychologically.
"All my life I've been heading for this rock. And this rock was made just for me."
He continues, "All my life I've been heading for this rock. And this rock was made just for me." Impressive insight under the circumstances. I think my only thoughts would be "Get me out of here!"
As the ordeal continues, Ralston becomes delirious. Death seems to be hovering. In a true act of desperation, he takes a knife, already dulled from repeated banging on the rock, and cuts off his arm.
He still needs to scale down the mountain and hike 16 miles…
But as he walks away from the scene, he looks back at the Blue John and says, "Thank you."
We are given no further explanation but since the mountain endangered his life, rather than saving it, we must assume he means "thank you for the experience, for the wisdom gained, the lesson proffered."
In Psalms (118), we say: "I will thank You because You have answered me; it has been for me a salvation." The word "answered" can also be translated "afflicted". We thank the Almighty for the affliction because that was the opportunity that truly changed who we are, that (hopefully) made us better.
When we are in the midst of trials and tribulations, we are mostly in survival mode, just putting one foot in front of the other and trying to make it through.
But when they are over, if we can find a quiet moment, if we can reflect, perhaps we can discover there was something to learn, someway to deepen our understanding of ourselves and our potential. As long as we remain alert and receptive.
Aron Ralston endured an ordeal that seems incomprehensible to most of us. It took tremendous courage and determination and strength of will to escape the mountain trap. And given his weakened state, even after all that, his survival was nothing short of miraculous.
What a tragedy it would have been if all that trauma had been for naught. But Aron Ralston is a fortunate young man – not just because he survived, but because he recognized the lessons available for him to learn from this experience while he still had the time and ability to change.
Although he continues to climb mountains, he also works as a motivational speaker, doing the best possible thing we can do with our preciously bought wisdom – sharing it with others.
Married with a child, he no longer avoids intimacy and he never goes mountain climbing without telling someone where he is going.
I don't know how he survived those 127 hours (the 2 hours spend watching the movie were enough of a harrowing ordeal for me) but I hope that I have also grown from his experience.

Alan Rickman: From Severus Snape To 'Seminar'
Some will forever associate Alan Rickman as a romantic lead in "Truly, Madly, Deeply."
ALAN RICKMAN: (as Jamie) And when we kissed, which was about 11 o'clock the following morning, we were trembling so much we couldn't take off our clothes.
CONAN: Others will remember his diabolical villain in "Die Hard."
RICKMAN: (as Hans Gruber) I wanted this to be professional, efficient, adult, cooperative, not a lot to ask. Alas, your Mr. Takagi did not see it that way, so he won't be joining us for the rest of his life.
CONAN: But most will probably summon the image of the imperious Severus Snape, professor to Harry Potter and his friends at Hogwarts.
RICKMAN: (as Professor Severus Snape) That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger. Are you incapable of restraining yourself, or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?
CONAN: Now, Alan Rickman stars on Broadway as a burnout novelist who skewers the work of four younger writers in the new Broadway play "Seminar." More on that in a moment. But we'd like to hear from the actors in our audience who've also played bad guys from time to time. How much fun is it? Give us a call, 800-989-8255. Email us, email@example.com. You can also join the conversation on our website. That's at npr.org. Click on TALK OF THE NATION. Alan Rickman joins us from our bureau in New York. Nice to have you with us.
RICKMAN: Very nice to be here.
CONAN: And the first thing I should point out is that "Seminar" is a comedy where the only casualties are a few bruised egos.
RICKMAN: Yeah. Well, I guess, I'm just telling the story. It's either funny, bruised or other adjectives to...
RICKMAN: ...the members of the audience.
CONAN: Is it nice to get laughs after starring as Severus Snape?
RICKMAN: Oh, he got laughs.
CONAN: He did get laughs...
RICKMAN: Yeah.
CONAN: ...but not as many you do in this play.
RICKMAN: Well, I suppose it depends which audience you're watching it with. But, no, Snape had his moments with comedy.
CONAN: He is going to be, I suppose, immortal. That's an odd word to use.
RICKMAN: Well, I think, probably thanks to Jo Rowling, they all are, all of those teachers. You know, there are kids now who weren't even born when we started the whole thing, and there they are, you know, age eight or something on book four. And so a whole, you know, the merry-go-round keeps going on.
CONAN: Why did you decide to do Broadway?
RICKMAN: Well, I love the play, and it was nine years ago that I was last on Broadway in "Private Lives." And I love working in New York theater.
CONAN: What is it, special, about New York theater? The demands are many.
RICKMAN: Yeah. It is very demanding, but it's good to be in a city where you feel that theater is actually part of the life of the city. You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else. But here, it's, you know, your friends and neighbors.
CONAN: Hmm. Do you have much time to see those friends and neighbors perform, though?
RICKMAN: Well, circumstance means I've got actually a night off tonight because Lily Rabe, who's brilliant and somehow is off filming in Los Angeles, so we have a night off tonight. We get punished by doing an extra show on Sunday. But it means I can go and see my friend Martha Clarke's opening tonight at the Joyce Theater, of "Angel Reapers," which is her - I saw a workshop of it early this year - remarkable piece of dance theater about the Shakers.
CONAN: The playwright of "Seminar," Theresa Rebeck, and you are - I gather - longtime friends. Does working together risk that relationship?
RICKMAN: I suppose it does, because when you're - I mean, fortunately, she's very strong and rigorous and patient...
RICKMAN: ...which might be the most important word. But, you know, I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time. So the rehearsal room does become a bit of a marketplace, and new plays risk everybody's sensibilities. That's the whole point about them. But, you know, hopefully, ultimately, she's happy because she knows we're all there because we respect her writing so much.
CONAN: There's a line in the play that writers in their natural environment are much like feral cats. It sounds like you're saying much the same about actors.
RICKMAN: Actors are actually very supportive of each other. I think it might be more true of writers. You know, them - in my experience, they're quite nervous of each other, and probably quite rightly when it's such a solitary occupation. And, you know, months and years of work can be dashed by one bad review or a book that doesn't sell or something. Actors usually have each other.
CONAN: Usually. There are always exceptions. What has been the most fun, so far, in this run?
RICKMAN: We're working, you know, it's a completely new experience for me doing a new play on Broadway. I'm working with a wonderful, wonderful young director called Sam Gold, and I'm on stage with four fantastic young actors. So, you know, I'm very much hanging on to their coattails and their images, if I'm truthful about it. And it's rewarding to think the theater is - the future of theater is in such good hands when there's such young people on stage with such talent.
CONAN: Here's an email we have from Pat. Many years ago, I used Alan Rickman, as Hans Gruber from "Die Hard," as inspiration for my valedictory address during my high school graduation. I based it on his line, when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer. While I know that's a quote, I will always associate it with him. Combining that with his portrayal of Severus Snape, he is among my favorite actors. Hans Gruber, do you get many recollections of him as well?
RICKMAN: Well, it's a film that's lasted, that's for sure. I think maybe they've, you know, broke the mold when they made that film a bit because it was certainly before computer graphics, which certainly the "Harry Potter" series came to use widely. So, you know, those were days when at the end of the film, when I fell from the building, that was a real fall. It wasn't computer-generated.
CONAN: And in "Harry Potter" I assume much of the time you're in front of a blue screen.
RICKMAN: Not so much with Snape, actually, because he doesn't go anywhere.
CONAN: He just complained about the parts.
RICKMAN: He's just in those corridors and in those rooms, and the - that's Stuart Craig, the production designer's brilliance to make it completely real.
CONAN: Let's see if we got some actors on the line, people who've also played some bad guys from time to time. Well, we'll begin with you, Alan Rickman. Are bad guys more fun?
RICKMAN: No, not necessarily. And, in fact, you know, it's a - as I've said before, you know, I look down a different telescope because - well, at the other end of a telescope because it's a very small part of whatever I've done. It's like two or three parts, and they just happened to have big publicity budgets. But, you know, there are - it's not the major area of my work.
CONAN: Let's go to Marv(ph) and Marv is on the line with us from Portland. Marv, are you there?
MARY: Hello. It's Mary Mack(ph) here.
CONAN: Mary, I'm sorry. The computer cut off the bottom line of your Mary and I got a Marv. So I apologize.
CONAN: But you're on the air anyway. Go ahead.
MARY: Thank you so much. I'm a long-time voice actor. I've been on the business for about 30 years, and I've done a lot of animation. And in the context of working as an animated voice, I played a lot of villains.
CONAN: And are they more fun?
MARY: You know, they're really chewy, really dark and delicious. And because it's all vocal, you know, you really are playing with your instrument in a significantly different way than when you're playing heroes. I'm sort of known for both heroes and villains in terms of my work for Hanna-Barbera and Marvel and the like.
CONAN: Mm-hmm. Can you - do we know your voice in character?
MARY: Well, you know, there's a whole generation of 30-year-old men now who know me as the voice of Lady Jaye on "G.I. Joe," and I was Lois Lane on "Super Friends." And millions of drivers knew me for about 15 years as the voice of OnStar, as the voice of the car itself.
CONAN: Wow.
MARY: But I wasn't very villainous as the voice.
CONAN: No, you're not supposed to be villainous on...
CONAN: Alan Rickman, I - you've done voiceover work too.
RICKMAN: Yeah, not very much. But it's difficult, incredibly difficult.
CONAN: And I wonder, have you ever been asked to do one of those GPS voices?
RICKMAN: What's that?
CONAN: Where there GPS says, next turn - in 250 yards, turn right.
RICKMAN: No, and I'll be saying no to that request when it arrives.
CONAN: Mary, what about you?
MARY: Well, you know, I - that's exactly the kind of thing that I did for OnStar and still do. It's the voice of speech recognition. That's the kind of work that is. I would certainly take direction from Mr. Rickman anytime though.
CONAN: OK. Mary, thanks very much for the call. Good luck.
MARY: Thank you.
RICKMAN: Thanks.
CONAN: Email from Christine(ph) in Akron, Ohio. How did you film "Galaxy Quest" without busting up laughing? You've embodied Snape, but you were absolutely hysterical as Sir Alexander Dane.
RICKMAN: Well, the good thing about filming is that, you know, when you bust up laughing, they don't use that take.
RICKMAN: So somewhere in the vaults of time are a lot of takes where all of us were having trouble.
CONAN: That is one of my favorite films.
RICKMAN: That's a great movie, a really terrific film.
CONAN: Here's another email. This one from Maureen(ph) in South Bend. Where did you learn to speak so the audience hangs on your every word? And also, tell us about working with Emma Thompson. Seeing both of you acting together on PBS last week was a real treat. Was that "The Song of Lunch"?
RICKMAN: "Song of Lunch" by Christopher Reid, yeah. It was done for - I think it was called National Poetry Year in England. And it is an existing poem, which Greg Wise had the bright idea of filming pretty much untouched. And, of course, I've worked with Emma, I think, five times now and I directed her once. And to do a piece like that and to - it was a high degree of concentration because we only, I think, 10 days to do it, not to mention the continuity on the wine and the food that was exciting everybody else's brain power. Well, it's a luxury because you're working with somebody with a - certainly, from my point of view anyway, there's complete trust and utter respect.
CONAN: When you say continuity, making sure the glasses and the food is all and exactly the same place.
RICKMAN: Yeah, because you know that 300 people will be immediately emailing or going online or whatever, complaining literally.
CONAN: Yeah, that's like making a grammatical error on the radio.
RICKMAN: Yeah.
CONAN: It happens to us too. We're talking with Alan Rickman, the actor. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News.
And let's see if we get another phone call. Let's go next to Louis(ph). Louis with us Ithaca in New York.
LOUIS: Hello.
CONAN: Hi, Louis. You're on the air.
LOUIS: Hi. Thanks for taking my call. Yeah. I just wanted to say that I'm an amateur actor, but my favorite character is from a modern film from the past, you know, 10 years or so are generally the villains. There's been a lot of great work done. People like Alan Rickman, you know, Daniel Day-Lewis. And, yeah, my introduction to acting was actually as a minor villain, as Jafar in "Aladdin" in eighth grade. So it's always been a lot of fun for me.
CONAN: Did you play in school plays, Alan Rickman?
RICKMAN: Yeah. I went to school where drama was incredibly important part of our education. And somebody in my year actually did physics, maths and art when they were 18. We call it A levels, such as before you go to university. So there were no dividing lines about what we should do, and we had a terrific English department waking us up to all of that. So that's where any seeds certainly were sown.
CONAN: Louis, thanks very much for the call.
LOUIS: Thank you.
RICKMAN: Thanks.
CONAN: Email from Phaedra(ph) in San Antonio. I won't be able to listen to the show. I've got one of those pesky job things and they like me to work apparently. But I was excited to hear Mr. Rickman would be on the program. I've been a fan for decades. My parents and I watched "The Barchester Chronicles" on PBS when I was very young, and I loved it even though I didn't necessarily get all of it all the time. Mr. Rickman is, to my mind, the master of facial expression. He can communicate so much with a twist of the mouth or the flick of an eyebrow, loved him as Snape, loved him most as the Metatron in Kevin Smith's "Dogma." Please pass on my thanks for so many hours well-spent watching him be extraordinary.
RICKMAN: Thank you very much.
CONAN: Let's see if we can go next to - this is Patty(ph). Patty with us from Elkhart, Indiana.
PATTY: Hi. Thanks for taking my call.
CONAN: Sure.
PATTY: Mr. Rickman, you're one of my favorite actors.
RICKMAN: Thank you.
PATTY: And I know my youngest daughter, Abigail(ph) loves you in "Harry Potter." She wants the 6-foot cut out of you for her room.
PATTY: However, my story is about my other daughter who was in a junior high play. She's a very tiny, petite, little girl, about 5'1" who played a over-the-top drill sergeant stomping and screaming across the stage. And as a parent, it was just so fun to watch her do something that was so out of character for what we saw in her everyday life.
RICKMAN: Mm-hmm.
CONAN: A rare opportunity to use the word maggot.
PATTY: Yeah. I don't think they actually had that word in there, but she was just over the top, and it was so much fun to watch her and see something so totally different than what we saw in her everyday life.
RICKMAN: Good for her.
CONAN: Patty, thanks very much.
PATTY: Thank you. Bye-bye.
CONAN: Among all of Alan Rickman's performances, writes Bob in Minneapolis, I will always love his Sheriff of Nottingham in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." Did he ever fear being typecast as a villain? And if so, what did he do to get passed that?
RICKMAN: Well, first thing one would say is if you're - you can't have a - say to yourself, I am playing a villain. They don't think they are anymore than heroes think that they're heroes. They're just who they are and this is what they want. It's other people that put that label. So you can't judge the character you're playing ever. And I suppose all I can say is as time has gone on, I've been fortunate to do things like "Sense and Sensibility," and "Truly, Madly, Deeply." "Love Actually," he might have been naughty, but not exactly a villain. "Snow Cake" is a very important film to me and Sigourney Weaver about adult autism, and I suppose - not I suppose - definitely, the work that I've done in the theater both as an actor and a director.
CONAN: And most recently, of course, "Seminar"...
RICKMAN: Yeah.
CONAN: ...which is currently running on Broadway. And we thank you for taking time on your day off to come in and speak with us. Good luck with those - good luck with the show.
RICKMAN: It was a great pleasure, and thank you very much.
CONAN: Alan Rickman, stars in "Seminar," which is currently running on Broadway. His new play opened last week.

Watch out, Matt Damon — Jim Carrey's coming through.
The comedian has promised to gain 40-50 pounds for his role as Curly in "The Three Stooges" — more than the 30 Matt put on for "The Informant!" — and he showed off a chubbier figure on Thursday night at UCLA's 2009 Visionary Ball in Beverly Hills.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Maureen McCormick's Weight Loss Challenge
Weight wasn't the only thing Jim's added to his look — he wore glasses and had grown a full beard.
Partner Jenny McCarthy, who stood by Jim's side on Thursday, previous told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush that she was looking forward to "dating Curly."

"He said, 'You know, I'm going to have to gain 40-50 pounds for this role.' And I said, 'Oh my God! I get to be dating Curly!' That is the greatest thing ever," she told Billy in April.
"The Three Stooges" is expected in theaters in 2010.

News and recent developmentsEdit
- April 2010: Support of the HARMONY Center in Kenya - in Malava village, near the Kakamega forest our associates coodinated with the local governmental organization to build the HARMONY awareness center http://hadeg.org. The project is to contribute to solving the energy crisis in western Kenya due to population growth and inefficient use of natural resources. Along with promoting the planting of trees is necessary to teach the villagers to reduce the consumption of wood for cooking, because cooking is still commonplace on fire with three stones. We therefore support the production and use of clay stoves and solar cookers. It currently offers local people the center HARMONY solar cookers, clay ovens with low consumption of firewood as well as advice on how to fertilizing the soil and tree planting.

It is Siemens' first order in the Saskatchewan province and includes a ten-year service and maintenance agreement. Construction will begin this summer.
Siemens is to supply a direct drive version of the 2.3MW turbine with a 113-metre rotor. Siemens' 2.3MW turbines are also being used at the South Kent project in Ontario, which has been completed this week.
The Morse project represents an addition of over 10% total wind power generation capacity in Saskatchewan.
Canada's total installed capacity stands at 7.8GW after the industry installed a record-breaking 1,599MW last year, which included the 300MW Lac Alfred project in Quebec.
Canada has added an average of more than 1GW new capacity a year over the past five years and is expected to continue to do so until at least 2016.

From the Juicer: Balanced Green Juice
Get your blender and juicer ready!
Get the Recipe
Ever notice how elusive balance can seem in the world these days? Work weeks are either four hours or 80 hours. Athletic activities are either video games or ultramarathons. Beverages are either big gulps or week-long juice cleanses. Sometimes I think pop culture confuses balance with mediocrity and consequently steers clear of both.
It's true that extremes can be awfully appealing sometimes, and at other times awfully familiar. Bury yourself in that work project for six months and take the next six months to travel around the world? Sure, that sounds a lot more amazing than a year of nine to five. Adore your kids so much you think you might explode and then actually explode when they stuff half a roll of toilet paper down the sink drain? That might sound familiar to some people. (Ahem.) I can get behind a lack of balance in certain areas.
But other times balance is crucial. And whether you know it yet or not, your everyday green juice is one of those times. People tend to drink green juice to feel they're doing something good for themselves—and unfortunately, some of the green juices out there taste like you'd darn well better be doing something good for yourself.
As more and more people are realizing these days, it doesn't have to be that way. Green juice can be really delicious. One great way to ensure deliciousness is to strike a pleasing balance of flavors. A bit of sweetness, a bit of tang, a touch of gingery warmth, and a hint of sharpness, all rooted in a substantial, satisfying base. That's what you'll find in this recipe.
Drink a glass of this juice in the morning, and even if everything else is 80 hours of work and a supersize fries, you'll always have a bit of balance in your day.

It's become fashionable to blame those two rich half-siblings -- Charles Munger, Jr., the Republican behind the No on 30 and Yes on 32 campaigns, and Molly Munger, the liberal civil rights lawyer behind the Prop 38 campaign -- for the defects of the state's initiative process.
But the blame lies with a different family.
A century before the Mungers combined to spend more than $50 million (and counting) on 2012 ballot initiatives, there were Gov. Hiram Johnson and his father Grove.
U.S. & World
Like the two Mungers, they had different visions of the world. And we're still living with the problems created by their inability to get along.
Gov. Hiram Johnson was the governor who led the push to establish the ballot initiative process, via a 1911 special election. The governor saw himself as a reformer and outsider, cleaning up politics in California.
When Gov. Johnson thought of dirty politics, he knew exactly how they looked: like the sort of politics practiced by his father.
Grove Johnson was a corrupt politician in Sacramento, and a player. He openly opposed his son's election and policies. (One of the few communications between them was a birthday card from father to son, in which Grove reiterated his opposition to his son-the-governor's policies, but congratulated him on his ability to get those policies put into place).
Why did this father-son split matter? Because in putting together the ballot initiative process, the governor's opinion of his father led to him make a big mistake.
In every other state with an initiative process, the legislative body has an important role - along with the power to amend laws that are made by initiative.
But Gov. Johnson didn't want the legislature in California -- which was full of people like his father -- to be able to amend initiatives. So Johnson designed an initiative process that cut the legislature out entirely.
The result: California has the most inflexible initiative process in the world. With the legislature unable to make changes, initiatives are full of errors that can't be changed except for another vote of the people. Those errors, and other unintended consequences of initiatives, linger for years and decades, creating all sorts of problems for policymakers.
So take it easy on the Mungers. They haven't done nearly as much damage as the Johnsons did.

text: Was watching Ratdog's first set from Tri Studios - right around 18:20 the camera pans to Bob's feet and shows him using what I think are two M9s. I suppose these guys tinker with electronics all the time, but this surprised me a bit. And given that I've had a really hard time getting what I think are good tones from my X3, maybe this gave me a glimmer of hope. I guess having a great amp behind the effects makes a difference. I've been going direct with the X3 at practice and can never really get what I think is a nice, full, rich tone.

Apple might be planning to launch the iPad 3 next year on what would have been Steve Jobs' 57th birthday, Feb. 24.
The Economic Daily News, a Chinese language newspaper, quoted "sources close to Taiwanese makers in the iPad3 supply chain" Friday. The paper reported that local iPad 3 component makers are scheduled to work through the Lunar New Year holiday in order to meet delivery deadlines.
Several other sources have also hinted at a February launch for the iPad 3. And Business Insider points out that Apple does have a habbit of launching new devices on Fridays.
It makes sense, but an iPad 3 release date on Steve Jobs' birthday is still unconfirmed at this point. If true, Apple will probably make the announcement sometime in mid-February.

Police have charged a Federal Hill restaurant owner with rape after a patron said he sexually assaulted her in a bathroom there on New Year's Eve.
Matthew Lasinski, 29, was taken into custody on New Year's Day and has been charged with second-degree rape, fourth-degree sex offense, and assault charges in connection with an incident that allegedly occurred after midnight in Blue Agave Restaurante in the 1000 block of Light St., according to police spokesman Vernon Davis.
Court records show he was ordered held without bond by a District Court commissioner.
Co-owner Brian Acquavella, who along with Lasinski took over the restaurant about nine months ago, told The Sun that he had reviewed camera footage from the restaurant and "after looking at everything that occurred, it doesn't seem like it's even feasible that the accusations are credible at all." Asked if he believed Lasinski would be cleared, he said, "Absolutely."
According to police, the victim told police she had an argument with her boyfriend and left her apartment in search of something to eat. She ended up at Blue Agave, where the kitchen was closed, but she ended up having several drinks.
She told police that while in the bathroom, a man later identified as Lasinski forcibly sexually assaulted her. She said another patron entered the bathroom and he stopped, and that patron put her in a cab and told her to drive to the hospital.
She reported that assault to police at 7 a.m., according to Davis, who said police have spoken to several witnesses.
On Wednesday night, on Blue Agave's Facebook page, someone posted a statement saying "one of our team members has become the victim of the worst injustice I've seen in my lifetime."
"We have video, as well as witnesses (unaffiliated to our team) that directly contradict the accuser's allegations, yet he's still charged," the post read. "What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Hopefully his innocence is proven before the lies ruin us."
Lasinski is part of a management team that took over Blue Agave after previously working for Mackey's Bayside in Ocean City, according to a write-up in the Federal Hill neighborhood newsletter. The owner of Mackey's said in an e-mail that Lasinski was a bartender for 10 years.
In Washington DC, the police chief recently shut down a popular jazz club for 96 hours after a woman reported being sexually assaulted in the bar after an unsanctioned after-hours club. Chief Cathy Lanier used the power 15 times last year.
Baltimore Liqour Board chairman Steve Fogleman said city police have the ability to close an establishment for health and safety reasons, but not for more than 48 hours. He said the liquor board will conduct an investigation of the allegations at Blue Agave and could have a hearing as soon as three weeks from now, though sometimes the board waits until the charges have been adjudicated.

CHICAGO - Authorities arrested today a 29-year-old man who they say tried to blow up the Springfield courthouse with an explosives-filled van.
Authorities say Michael Finton, also known as "Talib Islam," drove a van containing what he thought was explosive material, parked it directly in front of the Paul Findley Federal Building and Courthouse, then tried to detonate it with his cell phone.
The attempt was apparently part of a federal sting. Finton got out of the van, locked the door and got into another vehicle driven by an undercover FBI agent and drove away, authorities said.
Within blocks, Finton used a cell phone to remotely detonate what he thought was a bomb, agents said, according to the State Journal-Register.
The case has nothing to do with the major terrorism investigation under way in New York and Colorado, federal officials say.
Finton appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Byron G. Cudmore in Springfield and said he was a part-time cook in a Decatur fish and chicken restaurant.
"The criminal complaint alleges that Michael Finton … attempted to bomb a federal courthouse, but fortunately a coordinated undercover law enforcement effort was able to thwart his efforts and ensure no one was harmed," said David Kris, assistant attorney general for national security, in a statement.
He waived a hearing on the charges and was ordered held pending action by the grand jury.

Why Emergency Medicine is Not Easy
Example. Took care of a 50'ish woman today who hurt her ankle. Simple? She had hurt her ankle two weeks ago in a fall.
The fall was the result of a syncopal episode... she passed out. Why?
She doesn't remember why she passed out but did admit that it had happened before. She said she didn't have any medical problems. She smokes two packs a day and hasn't seen a doctor in a long time.
The ankle was fractured but she has been walking on it for two weeks. It hurts a bit. How is this possible?
Well, she has peripheral neuropathy (decreased sensation in her extremities). Why? She doesn't know. She is not taking her medicines and she doesn't know what they are. So at the bedside I decided to do all basic labs and cardiac markers and get an EKG. The EKG is abnormal and shows evidence of ongoing ischemia which is new from the last EKG. Simple?
Her labs start coming back. Her potassium is high, her thyroid is not working, a chart review reveals that she has had a small heart attack in the past, has been a polysubstance abuser, and has been in myxedema coma in the past (a complication of severe hypothyroidism). She also has a blood glucose of 550. This explains her peripheral neuropathy and her ability to walk on a fractured ankle.
A secondary exam reveals increased pigmentation in the skin and she therefore likely has addison's disease. She gets IV thyroxine and a dose of stress steroids in the ED. She is now admitted for a full cardiac workup and endocrine workup. She will likely get a heart cath and a stent if she needs one, stabilization of her diabetes and other endocrine disorders, and oh by the way we splinted her ankle fracture.

Gosh, and I always think my medical history is complicated! This woman beats me I think. At least all my problems are diagnosed and I have paperwork all neatly filed to show every doctor about it all.ReplyDelete
I always think of you like a detective...you have to not only be able to treat whatever is wrong, but first you have to investigate exactly what that is. People throw in misleading clues, drug seeking phony stories, and you have to figure it all out before getting sued. Sounds like a fun board game, but not quite so fun in real life!
really this case was interesting to me. it was veterinary medicine as the patient herself was not able to communicate meaningfully with me on the level that was required. she was a nice enough person and probably burdened with a C grade brain and an F grade education. not trying to be mean, just telling the truth.ReplyDelete
I carry both a shotgun and a pea shooter. There are patients I know I need to order everything, and there are those patients I don't WANT to know anything. The real art is figuring out which is which, at least until I hit the Powerball.

Possibly a case of Polyglandular Autoimmune Syndrome Type 2?
- Anonymous1:39 PM, September 10, 2007
I like reading about cases like these. As radioactive girl mentioned, like the detective work aspect.ReplyDelete
If you felt she had ischemic EKG changes, am curious why she rec'd IV thyroxine. Was there impending myxedema coma that overrided (overrid?) the ischemia concern?
cardio np,ReplyDelete
you ask a good question. the ekg changes were flipped Ts anteriorly which were new and without ongoing chest pain. the internist admitting felt getting the thyroid issue addressed at the same time they worked-up the heart was unlikely to cause more stress on the heart and in fact would be helpful in de-stressing the heart.
Way cool post. It's like Sherlock Holmes Meets Dr. Welby M.D. except it's far from being elementary, my dear Watson.ReplyDelete
Another great literary tickler idea for my book.
I would be looking for Polyglandular Autoimmune Syndrome(PGA or PAS). She's kinda fitting the criteria.ReplyDelete
"Possibly a case of Polyglandular Autoimmune Syndrome Type 2?"ReplyDelete
the internists will be all over that diagnosis if she has it. she will then be discharged and be non compliant with her medicines and come back in in a few weeks by ambulance and get admitted again.ReplyDelete
"Glorified nurse?" What a wonderful compliment. I hope you thanked whoever started that rumor.ReplyDelete
Good Monday evening 911 Doc ! I'm glad you do what you do, in case I ever need you !ReplyDelete
- Anonymous7:44 PM, September 10, 2007
Thanks for the explanation.ReplyDelete
Given the lack of compliance w/ meds, if she does get PCI, hope it is POBA or BMS. Otherwise her next presentation may be acute MI due to stent thrombosis.
dear cardio NP,ReplyDelete
after reading your last comment i have WTF'itis. i'm a simple car-crash physician and haven't seen so many acronyms since i was OCUNUS with the USA.
Ahhh, 911doc, a realist to the end LOLReplyDelete
"she will then be discharged and be non compliant with her medicines and come back in in a few weeks by ambulance"

Simple my #$%.ReplyDelete
The military abbreviations are worse!
PCI - percutaneous coronary intervention (previously known as PTCA when we were younger)
POBA - plain old balloon angioplasty
BMS - bare metal stent (as opposed to a drug eluting stent)
- Anonymous8:51 AM, September 11, 2007
she came to you with a lot of issues that weren't managed by her primary care team. Patient non compliance...either for personal or for financial reasons leaves you ER docs with the big mess of dealing with acute situations and the 'oh-by-the-way I have' complicated health issues that surround these patients. There has to be a better way...how I'm not sure.. of increasing health promotion in the community to take the stress off of emergency room physicians.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3:44 PM, September 11, 2007
CardioNP sounds like she just read something on the web that she has minimal understanding of. Hence the acronyms.ReplyDelete
OK, I'll bite: OCUNUS ???
change the second U to a T and I get it...
"A secondary exam reveals increased pigmentation in the skin and she therefore likely has addison's disease."ReplyDelete
A doctor who knows what that means? Good Lord, I just fell in love!
Secondary or Primary? (TSH & Free T4 *hint*)
As far as I understand, the drug-eluting stents place the patient at HIGHER risk of thrombosis than a BMS (i can ref uptodate.com if you like), and thus require patients to be compliant with dual antiplatelet therapy (ie. plavix & asa). This is the crux of the decision tree.
But what do i know? I'm just an internist (ie. DOCTOR) not a specialist like you. Love the acronyms, though.

OCONUS means Outside the Continental/Contiguous United States.
CONUS would refer to the Continental/Contiguous United States.

T-Mobile: We Were Totally Kidding About AT&T's Crappy Network!
Here's an immediate casualty of the AT&T/T-Mobile deal–or at least I assume it will be: T-Mobile's ad campaign, which is almost entirely focused on insulting AT&T's network quality (and by extension, insulting Apple's iPhones, too.)
True, part of the rationale for the $39 billion deal is that combining the two networks will improve AT&T's quality. But that's a nuance that may be lost on TV (and Web video) viewers who have been watching T-Mobile explain, over and over and over, why AT&T is a terrible choice.
