Highlights•	The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) will award the President's Medal to Congressional Kidney Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. Tom Marino (R-PA) and Rep. Jim McDermott, MD (D-WA) for their support of kidney care legislation and federal investment in kidney research.•	ASN will honor Rep. McDermott and Rep. Marino at a ceremony at the society's annual meeting, ASN Kidney Week 2014, on Saturday, November 15 in Philadelphia, PA.•	ASN represents nearly 15,000 health professionals dedicated to leading the fight against kidney disease.
More than 20 million Americans have kidney disease, the 8th leading cause of death in the U.S.
Newswise — Philadelphia, PA (November 10, 2014) — The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) will award the President's Medal to Congressional Kidney Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. Tom Marino (R-PA) and Rep. Jim McDermott, MD (D-WA). The two distinguished members of Congress will receive the award in a ceremony at the society's annual meeting, ASN Kidney Week 2014, in Philadelphia, PA, on Saturday, November 15. This honor recognizes their contributions to championing the cause of patients with kidney disease and raising awareness of the need for more research funding to develop needed cures.
Both Congressmen have deep personal interests in kidney conditions. Rep. Marino is a three-time survivor of kidney cancer and has had multiple nephrectomies. Rep. McDermott is not only a medical doctor, but he trained with his friend the legendary Belding Scribner, MD, in Seattle when dialysis was being developed in that city. Rep. McDermott co-founded the Congressional Kidney Caucus in 2002 to educate members of Congress and the public about the problem kidney disease poses for society and the federal government's role in providing access to life-sustaining treatment for those with severe disease.
As co-chairs of the Congressional Kidney Caucus, Reps. Marino and McDermott have raised awareness of kidney disease and the importance of increased investment in kidney research on Capitol Hill. They provided crucial early support for the Kidney Health Initiative and frequently serve as honorary co-hosts of ASN congressional briefings on kidney disease research. Both have supported home dialysis patients by encouraging the Secretary of Health & Human Services to update training payments for home dialysis and Rep. McDermott requested a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on the key factors that affect home dialysis use. Rep. Marino recently supported ASN's research advocacy efforts by requesting a GAO report assessing the adequacy of the federal investment in research to combat kidney disease compared to the cost of care.
"By sharing my personal experiences with other members of Congress, I hope to increase the awareness and understanding of the circumstances that face millions of Americans who suffer from kidney disease," said Rep. Marino. A former U.S. attorney with a background in manufacturing, he joined Congress in 2010.
"Given my longstanding personal interest in kidney disease and that I represent Seattle, the birthplace of dialysis, I am honored to be receiving this important award from ASN. I commend the society and its members for their commitment to treating, researching, and advocating to improve the lives of those affected by kidney disease." After completing his medical training, Rep. McDermott joined the U.S. Navy before specializing in psychiatry at the University of Washington Medical Center. He was soon elected to the state legislature, and split his time to continue to practice medicine. Rep McDermott joined Congress in 1988 and is serving his 12th term. He is a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, enabling him to play an influential role in a wide range of issues, including Medicare.
ASN Kidney Week 2014, the largest nephrology meeting of its kind, will provide a forum for more than 13,000 professionals to discuss the latest findings in kidney health research and engage in educational sessions related to advances in the care of patients with kidney and related disorders. ASN Kidney Week 2014 will take place November 11–16, 2014, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA.

The most important thing to me in the world is being tough. I was never the best gymnast, and never the best student but I've always been able to do a good job of faking it by gritting my teeth, burning the midnight oil and powering through. I had just struggled to regain my place on Cornell's gymnastics team after a fall that resulted in seven fractured vertebrae when the tonic-clonic seizures began, assumedly from the concussion I suffered in the accident. After several ambulance rides, medication changes, and extended hospital stays I was left with no choice but to take a medical leave of absence from campus.
Because of the seizures I found myself stuck at home without school and gymnastics and in need of a babysitter at nineteen. My entire identity depended on being a successful student athlete, but instead, I was alone and teetering on feelings of depression.
Eventually, I began pulling myself out of the hole. I slowly started to work out again. That small step towards regaining my identity as an athlete was just what I needed to get my life back in order. By the end of December I had nearly caught up with school work and was almost back into gymnastics shape. I made up my mind to return to school three weeks early, in the beginning of January and, with the rest of my team, start practicing again, and take all of my final exams before the next semester started. Having these goals in mind was the final push that I needed to stop letting epilepsy win.
Before I left school one of the doctors had mentioned something about a hockey player also having epilepsy. One evening I tracked down his name and contact information and sent him an email. Together, we worked to set up FACES: Facts, Advocacy, and Control of Epileptic Seizures. We set up fundraisers for the Epilepsy Foundation, and formed a support group for other students going through similar struggles. Epilepsy is a lot more common than most people think, affecting about 1 in 100 people. As fate would have it, I learned that one of my professors that semester has a son with epilepsy. She eagerly signed on to be our faculty advisor, and through a lot of hard work FACES is finally starting to take off.
I still have good days and bad days, and I struggle with both school and gymnastics on a daily basis, but I finally feel like myself again. Watching FACES grow and flourish and getting the chance to make things just a little bit easier for other families going through the same thing that I did has helped me heal. I also feel like a changed person now that I'm out on the other end of the tunnel. I have a whole new perspective on what being strong and resilient is all about.


As we engage in our daily activities, one thing I know from almost everybody is that we are all seeking for happiness.
Happiness is a universal commodity just like success, if there is a market offering happiness as it product or service, I believe it will never go out of business.
Everybody want to be happy irrespective of economic and social status. Irrespective of religion, culture and beliefs every persons want to be happy.
We are always seeking for happiness, we are always sourcing for it in every act we engage in every day of our life.
Some people claim to be happy, through their twits and updates they try to convince the world how happy they are. But deep down inside most of them surely they are not happy.
Some have chased money to the extreme for the sake of happiness, just to be disappointed that having money can't guarantee them real happiness.
What is happiness? According to Psychologist happiness is an emotional state of well-being which can be defined by, among others, positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.
Contentment brings about real happiness.
Where then do our happiness lies?
Our happiness lies in being what we are.
Many of us are not what we are, we are what our parent are, what our environment, friends, religion are.
We fail to understand the fact that we represent a purpose in this environment call world. We are something.
We often use this phrase "Be yourself", especially when counselling someone, but never understood it. To be yourself you have to know yourself, you have to discover who you are.
When you discover who you are and start living your life based on who you are, that is when through happiness will come.
Because when you are doing what you are supposed to be doing in this circle called life you will be contend and you will be happy.
ALSO READ Rechanneling your passion.
Because contentment brings about happiness.

GENERAL TRIVIA QUESTION THREAD
By laffite,
March 12, 2008 in Games and Trivia
lavenderblue19
This was a 1930's film. She made 5 films with the director. She had a long career.
Joan Crawford?
NO, not Joan.
In the film she shoots a man to protect her married lover.
patsydahling
Whoever she is, this character is a very busy girl.
I'm taking a wild guess at Linda Darnell.
Not Linda. This is an early 1930's movie. She already had made some films. This is a legendary actress, as great as Linda was much bigger star. Read all the clues.
jhnrndglt
Sounds like Barbara Stanwyck! I think the movie was Forbidden.
YES, Barbara Stanwyck was thrown from a horse, the horse kicked her, she was a trooper and finished the film *Forbidden* . She would do her scenes during the day, and spend nights in a hospital in traction. Not just a great actress, but one tough cookie. Thanks to everybody for their guesses, and THANKS Holly, your thread
I love Barbara Stanwyck, but when she played Mary Carson in The Thorn Birds her dentures were very ill-fitting. She would have sibilant "s" (I think that's what you'd call it - a lispy 's) which was tough when she spoke the name Ralph de Bricassart often. She almost sounds like Sylvester the Cat. A friend at that time started referring to Stanwyck as "Clackers." Didn't the sound editor catch it?
It's funny and blasphemous to focus on the dentures, but now I can't help it when I see this scene. But it IS a great scene and she was always a great actress.
OMG lavenderblue - I have to be away from the computer for the next couple of days....so I will give it back to you this time!!!
Since I just did this one someone else can have a chance to challenge us.
Thread Open
Emgee66
With your permission:
Who did Charley Chaplin call the best screen actor and for what movie?
30's; first Hollywood movie he did.
european actor
skimperpep
Jean Renoir?
Actor, not director.
my bad, I meant Jean Gabin.
It's not him either; his first US film was in 1942.
European actor, but remained in Hollywood for the rest of his life.
Conrad Veidt?
I had the feeling you were gonna say that but no; you're getting warm though......
Paul Henried?
If I'm getting warm with Veidt how's the temperature for Peter Lorre? lol
Sorry, no but the right area.....
compatriot of the actors you guessed.
It can't be Sydney Greenstreet can it?
No, because his first movie was The Maltese Falcon in 1941, but there is a connection.......

Breadcrumb trail: Home » FAQ » What's Google+ and why should I use it?
Google+ is another social media platform. Whilst it doesn't appear as popular as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook it has one of the largest user bases and most people predict that it will become increasingly important in the future.
Whilst Twitter is popular in the professions for distributing content and prompting interaction, Google doesn't use the material in tweets for its search engine whereas, not surprisingly, it does index material in Google+.
In many ways it is similar to other social media platforms as it allows you to share content – whether this is blogs, videos, audiocasts, images or comments. But it is different in that it allows you to restrict who sees each post – so it can be made public so everyone can see it or just for specific friends or contacts.
Personally, I like Google+ because, unlike Twitter, you are not restricted to 140 characters so you can provide a little more information about the blogs, articles, videos and other content you are sharing.
Google+ uses the idea of circles so that you can arrange people you follow into groups. Some people have inbound circles – so that they can easily scan what people with a common theme are sharing (e.g. property, legal, taxation, dogs, art, music etc) and outbound circles so that it is easy to share material with people who are most likely to be interested in the particular content you are sharing.
A key feature in Google+ is that of hangouts. This enables you to connect with up to nine other people for a videocall where you can also view a shared workspace and watch videos or presentations together. These hangouts can be broadcast to a wider audience by using "on air" facilities or even recorded.

Tiny patch could give diabetics painless glucose monitoring
Credit: University of Waterloo
University of Waterloo researchers are developing a new patch that would offer diabetics an affordable, accurate, pain-free, round-the-clock alternative to traditional tests that require pricking a finger for a blood sample every few hours.
And to make it even more user-friendly, potentially life-saving readings from the patch would be transmitted to people's smartphones.
After three years of work, the research team is perfecting a wearable patch that uses hundreds of tiny microneedles to sense glucose levels, crucial information for diabetics who need to know exactly how much medication they require at any one time.
"This will improve people's lifestyle by leading to more personalized medicine-taking," said Peyman GhavamiNejad, an engineering Ph.D. student at Waterloo who led the work. "We want to make it easier for people to monitor themselves, without any pain, with better control of the levels of their glucose and so they know how much insulin to take."
Although a variety of monitoring patches have been commercially available for several years, GhavamiNejad said this is the first of its kind.
"It's really novel work that we continue to improve," he said of the electro-chemical sensor. "Before this no one's done it with hydrogel conductive material that could be used for glucose sensing as a microneedle platform."

There are distinct advantages to the new patch, according to Dr. Mahla Poudineh, an electrical and computer engineering professor who leads the overall project. For example, patients can apply the patch themselves, unlike some other devices that must be inserted under the skin by a nurse.
The patch would be extremely small—only a centimeter square—so it could be worn very discreetly on a person's arm. Because it uses low-cost materials, it would be cheaper than some of the patches now available, which can cost up to $4,800 a year, and it could be purchased by patients over the counter. It would also give more accurate and continual measurements for 14 days, compared to current devices that provide monitoring for seven to 10 days.
In conjunction with the work being done by GhavamiNejad, Poudineh and the rest of their team, Dr. Peter Levine, an electrical and computer engineering professor, is building a miniature electronic platform to wirelessly send readings from the microneedles to users' smartphones.
A paper on the research appears in the journal Advanced Healthcare Materials.

Sleep Out: Student Edition - New Jersey - 2019
Join us on July 1, 2018
Sorry, registrations are currently closed.
SLEEP ON THE STREET FOR ONE NIGHT SO HOMELESS KIDS DON'T HAVE TO.
4.2 million kids in America will face homelessness this year.
Covenant House provides these homeless young people with safe shelter and wrap-around services, including education and job training, so they can move forward to an adulthood free of violence, poverty, and the threat of homelessness.
STUDENTS STEP OUT OF THE CLASSROOM AND INTO THE STREETS.
Sleep Out: Student Edition events can be held anywhere in the world. Covenant House doesn't dictate dates or times, rather, we follow the lead of middle school, high school, and college students who take on the challenge of planning a Sleep Out with their classmates on their school grounds, with a civic club or faith group at a community center, as members of a sports team on a field, or with a group of like-minded friends in their own backyard.
Students will then fundraise for Covenant House to keep the lights on and the doors open for all of the kids who need help. Then, they spend one night sleeping outside in solidarity with the homeless kids they are helping.
"K CLUB" MEMBERS
Become a Sleep Out Champion and join the K Club! For the first time, Covenant House New Jersey will be recognizing those student groups that reach extraordinary fundraising benchmarks through our K Clubs. Student groups that raise at least $10K, $25K, $50K, $75K, and $100K will be recognized on a plaque that will be prominently displayed at the Newark Crisis Center.

MSI Japan and Bun Hote unites Barbee Boys with MLA
Barbee Boys are a Japanese rock band and the first Japanese group to perform at the Nippon Budokan. They announced a solo 'comeback' concert at the Yoyogi National Stadium 1st Gymnasium, exactly a decade after that Budokan show, whith MSI and Martin MLA.
The Yoyogi National Stadium 1st Gymnasium.
MSI Japan had the honour of being asked to provide the sound production and Bun Hote, who has been supporting artistes from the Office Augasta stable (which includes Kyoko, a member of the Barbee Boys), was charged with mixing the sound.
Respected for his ability as a system tech as well as a FOH engineer, he chose Martin Audio's award-winning MLA as his favoured PA. His solution was to adopt a unique approach to his system design, to achieve consistency throughout the challenging arena and unite the entire audience.
Bun Hote's Martin MLA design.
On each side of the stage, three arrays were hung from a single H-shaped truss tower, all facing in different directions. The main array consisted of 13 MLA cabinets and a single MLD downfill cabinet. The side array was pointing 45 degrees outside of the main array and comprised nine MLA and an MLD.
Another array was aiming 90 degrees outside of the main array and consisted of five MLA and two MLD downfill boxes. A further array of six MLX subwoofers (with a pair facing backwards to create cardioid directivity) was hung from the same tower.
Bun Hote described his design philosophy: "First of all, we had little time for set-up, starting at midnight when the load-out of the last show had finished. The H-shaped tower was reused from the previous show, just changing the location of the motor. In Yoyogi National 1st Gymnasium, it is necessary to build stand-alone towers from the ground, as the roof weight is strictly regulated. After considering those factors, this location plan seemed to be the best."
In Yoyogi National 1st Gymnasium, with the usage of the end-stage, there is a wall at the far side consisting of main arrays rather than audience seating, he explained. "Instead there were more audience seats in the direction that the side arrays would be pointing.
With so many people expected, the production teams decided they would keep the audience area also for the side of the stage. However, we were unable to shift the side arrays too much as this would contribute to the wide area of the seating where the main arrays could not aim, avoiding reflection from the back wall. As a result, we needed one more array to cover the area just beside the stage."
The 12 MLX subs, 8 facing the audience and 4 flipped backwards.
There is an additional line of subwoofers stacked in front of the stage, besides the rigged subwoofers. Eight MLX subwoofers were aligned horizontally, while the four MLXs were stacked separately onto the subwoofer line, aiming behind in a cardioid broadside subwoofer array arc.
As for MLA he cited its superior sound and "amazing" long throw capability. "I couldn't have achieved this show without MLA. MLA will have unlimited capability when you plan it correctly and with our increased knowledge, experience and new approach to system design we have achieved a much more flexible result, meeting the demands of the client, the variety of music and artists' considerations."

I am not going to be robot food after all.
For nearly two months, I've put my diet in the cold, robotic hands of the My Fitness Pal app. And I've lost twelve pounds. My husband has gone as far as downloading several workout regimen and fitness tracker apps. He's lost about double what I have.
I've had similar success in the past without the aid of robot overlords. After all, in 2009-2010 I lost fifty pounds before I got my first Android phone. But I have to say, the app made it easier.
When people get down on technology, I have to wonder what they are so cranky about. Sure, kids today are staring at a tiny screen in their hand more than ever, but that doesn't mean they aren't being social or that they are wasting their time. Anyone looking at me right now would think I'm having a rapid fire texting marathon. I'm not. I'm writing this post. On my phone. Actually, all of my blog posts are written this way. It's convenient and yes, Blogger has an app.
New tech is good tech. New tech helped me quit smoking. It allowed me to become a published author on my own terms. It allows me to keep in touch with people who I dare say, would have fallen off my radar if I had to rely on emails and phone calls for contact. It's my pocket sized reference library.
And now, it's helped me lose nearly a full stone in two months. The healthy way too. My nutritional data is laid out in an easy to read format, so I know that I'm bit starving myself. I'm even considering an app to monitor my glucose levels.
So yes, thank you very much, robot overlords. I look forward to assuming my new role as Princess Robot Commander.
As long as all the robots under my command are this cute.
I only command cute robots.
I blog on the phone sometimes, too. :) And I've got the fitbit ap, and lost seven pounds. I agree.

Rocco Ritchie Allegedly Pictured Smoking Amid Custody Battle: 'This Is Exactly What Madonna Has Been Afraid Of,' Says Source
BY JEFF NELSON
@nelson_jeff

Madonna and Guy Ritchie's custody battle rages on.
Over the weekend, U.K.'s The Sun posted photos of the exes' underage son Rocco allegedly smoking with friends in London while under his father's care.
"This is exactly what Madonna has been afraid of," a source tells PEOPLE. "Rocco still isn't back in school – and now this. He is just a rebellious teenager, but he needs guidance and direction from his father."
The teen had been on tour for a few months with Madonna, 57, but left to go live with his father, 47, in the U.K. in December because, as sources previously told PEOPLE, he prefers his father's laid-back parenting style.
However, when Rocco refused to return home to his mother for the holidays, a judge reportedly ordered him to return to New York for his parents to sort out his living situation. Despite the order, Ritchie has yet to return Rocco to the United States, and a source close to the singer alleges Rocco has missed some school. As a Ritchie source told PEOPLE last week, Madonna even visited her son in between tour legs to make a plea for him to come home.
As a Ritchie source told PEOPLE last week, "It's about a fundamental difference in parental philosophies," adding the filmmaker views his ex's "old-school" approach as "counter-productive" and "harming his self-esteem and confidence at such a crucial part of his life."
But a friend of the former couple – who finalized their divorce in 2008 – believes the custody squabble was caused in part by their contentious history.
"This is far beyond a situation about Rocco – it's about a situation between Madonna and Guy," the friend told PEOPLE last month. "They don't have a good relationship; it's more of a power fight between them and if he can one-up her. This is the best way he can do it."
Madonna and Ritchie are due in New York Supreme Court for a hearing March 2; reps are not commenting.
