» new to SCI
I am trying to educate myself regarding spinal cord injuries. My brother-in-law (he is 56 yrs. old. He was in a mountain bike race on 10/31/04 and he flipped over his handle bars. As a result he has a level C-4 injury. He is currently on a vent., has a surgical trach, and feeding tube. He is amazingly alert and is able to mouth words. He spent nearly two weeks in ICU before he was moved to a step down unit. Since that transition he has been battling fevers. All cultures come back negative. Are fevers a common in patients with SCI? My sister has some very difficult decisions to make concerning rehab. in the very near future. If he is dependent on the vent., any recommendations for rehabs in Virginia area?

» What is wrong with my daughter?
She's 18 months, she's not walking but she will crawl over to me and grab onto somthing pulling herself onto her knees and either rock or bounce like that or put one foot flat on the floor (like she's about to propose) but nothing more, she's not trying to pull up to stand. She will stand if you hold her hands or her torso and she will take a couple of steps towards you, lately when I stand her up on the seat next to me on the bus she has started to move her feet into a more comfortable position. She should be walking at 18 months, surely - I know her daddy's side of the family were all late walkers between 18 months to 2 years and she's very tall, but I was 11 months when i was walking.

On Yahoo, you get allsorts of content, including this answer site, financial info, news, sports, fantasy, maps, people search, etc. Yahoo saves me tons of money and is very helpful.

» Ballon Layer with multi-selected grid-rows [totals]
I was wondering if anyone had some insight on how to track a totals based upon user selection. Lets say theres a totals grid, and it displays the accounts with their respective totals. What if you the user wanted the ability to multi-select rows and have a balloon popup with the current running totals of the selected total rows. Any ideas? I just want to know if theres a simplistic way to handle this, or maybe someone has already had an issue of this nature, or is this something thats going to be a pain... ThanksPretty simple to keep track of selections. Add a handler to the "selectionchange" event, grab the selections (which will be an Array of Records), and calculate the total.

» Shy woman interacting with kids?
You work with a very shy, quiet and soft-spoken young woman. She usually has her guard up a lot and never really says much. One of your coworkers had a baby and came by to visit for a little while. While everyone was talking and hanging around the baby, the shy woman was quietly looking on. The baby caught her eye and was staring at her, so she bent down a little, smiled and quietly, almost in a gentle, nurturing whisper, kept saying "you're so pretty" while gently stroking the baby's cheek. The baby, in return started smiling and cooing a lot. What would you think as you watched this shy woman interact with the baby?Is she shy or quiet natured? She would make a nice friend and a great mother.Why did you take special notice ...... - 2008-12-19
» Title Suggestion/Change?
I'm not here to rank, or ask for something easier. I'm here to suggest a simple idea at which you can say yes or no to. Legendary Skill Hunter: Capture all the elites across all three campaigns: Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall. What I yearn: A skill title that applies to learning every current profession skill in the game. This title would apply only to non-elite skills. Rather than give everyone an extra three or four titles for getting all the available skills (including core) provided in each campaign, or give you a title for each profession (that's a laugh right there) I suggest it just gives you 1/10 for every profession that character has learned all the skills for. So, like right now, I'd have 3/10 since I have completely ...... - 2008-12-19

» HIV may be stopped in its tracks
Scientists led by an American Nobel prizewinner believe they may have found a sniper's gun to silence the protein machinery that helps the AIDS virus infect the body's cells and replicate. The technique exploits a brand-new discovery about one of the myriad functions of ribonucleic acid (RNA) -- the chemical that helps to make cell proteins and in some viruses acts as the replacement for DNA as the carrier of their genetic code. In 1998, researchers found a remarkable quirk about the body's defence mechanism. If a cell detects a piece of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a typical signal that it is threatened by a virus or some other alien, it destroys its own, corresponding sequence of messenger RNA.Here is and idea I thought might work for ...... - 2008-12-19

» How will we know that HB is actually balanced.
We will know this when people playing assassins are actually at a disadvantage to people playing warrior. Another condition would be to say that those employing skills particularly teleports and spirits are gimping themselves in favour of the competition.eh... that's why i don't play HB. It's hard to keep balanced. Probably the most hard to keep balanced because of the 1v1 aspect of it. Most of the time skills used only in HB won't get nerfed because they are perfectly balanced in other forms of PvP and PvE and would render them utterly useless (except maybe Recall, amongst a few others) (and not saying Anet as a problem making skills utterly useless, either).

» Dalai Lama encountering resistance from Scientists re: his upcoming speech at annual Society for Neuroscience meeting
October 19, 2005 Benedict Carey In the past decade, scientists and journalists have increasingly taken interest in meditation and "mindfulness," a related state of focused inner awareness, topics once left to weekend mystics and religious retreats. The Dalai Lama has been working with a small number of researchers to study how the practice of Buddhist contemplation affects moods and promotes a sense of peace and compassion. In one widely reported 2003 study, Dr. Richard Davidson of the University of Wisconsin-Madison led a team of researchers that found that 25 employees of a biotechnology company showed increased levels of neural activity in the left anterior temporal region of their brains after taking a course in meditation.

Q&A: The Man Behind Embryonic Stem Cells Matthew Herper 05.28.08, 6:00 PM ET Ten years ago in a small, closet-like laboratory, James "Jamie" Thomson, an embryologist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, changed the world by creating the first human embryonic stem cells. Few research experiments have generated as much hype or controversy. More recently, he played a key role in creating induced pluripotent stem cells, which might someday provide the benefits of embryonic stem cells without destroying embryos. Thomson had to get industry support from a tiny biotech, Geron (nasdaq: GERN - news - people ), to do his early experiments, because neither his university nor the government would provide them.

Several weeks ago the question was asked whether a woman, with a quadriplegic level injury, could breastfeed; it resulted in an extensive search to find support for a response to this question. A search of the literature revealed one article that discusses breastfeeding in a woman with a compromised nervous system. Contacts with several lactation specialists and centers for women with disabilities were most encouraging but without conclusive evidence. The general consensus is that if a quadriplegic woman wants to breastfeed, she should be encouraged to try to do so.

I'm thinking it probably should be about 6 to 8 feet long and should fold up into a small enough package to store in the van. I've checked eBay and there's several companies selling different models of these ramps. Has anyone had any experience with these? Any recommendations? I use a power wheelchair - total weight load is around 450 pounds.Brian, I have been having the same problem. I am currently using ramps that are six-foot long that my dad fabricated from aluminum. The problem with them is that they do not fold and are too long to keep in my Chevrolet Venture and still be able to maneuver into ...... - 2008-12-19
» Deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease
http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/345/13/956 This is a really stunning result... Deep brain stimulation resulted in an increase in the percentage of time that patients had good mobility without involuntary movements from 27-28% to 64-74%. Seven of the 96% had brain hemorrhage and two had infections requiring the removal of the electrodes. So, there was a 10% complication rate but the beneficial effects are iimpressive.Here are some additional information concerning the deep brain stimulation method as practiced at the Beth Israel Hospital in New York for the treatment of movement disorders: http://nyneurosurgery.org/Adult/Movement/stndbs.htmDr Young one of my poster publication (Szekely, T. : The role of CSF to ECF outflow and ...... - 2008-12-19
» Seat to floor height
I've looked for a new wheelchair for a long time (more than 45 days) and after reading a lot, I decided for a Tilite TX - I want a folding chair that performs (almost) as a rigid one. But, when ordering my chair, I discovered that the maximum seat to floor height (using 24" rear wheel) is only 17.5" (too low for me; I'd like about 20"). So, AFAIK, my options were reduced to Quickie GTX (18.5") and Tilite X (19"). I'd really like to hear comments about these 2 chairs or any better option. Thanks. -- MarcusOr you could use a three to four inch cushion on the seat.......I would say go with thicker cushions too. But, with your seat being so high, you are going to have problems getting your legs under tables and counters. Is your current cha...... - 2008-12-19

I dont have insurance my sister does. She started in 2001 paying $274 per month. In 2002 they increased to $296 per month (almost 10%), in 2003 she paid $320 (again almost 10%).

He uses me as a pacifier and likes the warmth of my skin next to him to put him to sleep. He cries whenever i try putting him somewhere else after i get him to fall asleep next to me in bed.Start slow. Do you have a bassinet that you can take off the stand and place next to you in bed?

Rather than give everyone an extra three or four titles for getting all the available skills (including core) provided in each campaign, or give you a title for each profession (that's a laugh right there) I suggest it just gives you 1/10 for every profession that character has learned all the skills for.

» HIV may be stopped in its tracks
Scientists led by an American Nobel prizewinner believe they may have found a sniper's gun to silence the protein machinery that helps the AIDS virus infect the body's cells and replicate. The technique exploits a brand-new discovery about one of the myriad functions of ribonucleic acid (RNA) -- the chemical that helps to make cell proteins and in some viruses acts as the replacement for DNA as the carrier of their genetic code. In 1998, researchers found a remarkable quirk about the body's defence mechanism. If a cell detects a piece of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a typical signal that it is threatened by a virus or some other alien, it destroys its own, corresponding sequence of messenger RNA.Here is and idea I thought might work for ...... - 2008-12-19

Halloween's coming up and a friend of mine is having a birthday party. Everyone there will most likely be drinking...And when they drink, they drink to get drunk. That isn't my cup of tea. The only reason why I'm going to this is because it's one of my good friend's birthday parties and I'd feel bad if I didn't go. The thing is, I think I'd feel really awkward sitting there not drinking while everyone else is downing cans of beer and vodka and whatever else. You know what I mean?

The Dalai Lama has been working with a small number of researchers to study how the practice of Buddhist contemplation affects moods and promotes a sense of peace and compassion. In one widely reported 2003 study, Dr. Richard Davidson of the University of Wisconsin-Madison led a team of researchers that found that 25 employees of a biotechnology company showed increased levels of neural activity in the left anterior temporal region of their brains after taking a course in meditation.

Few research experiments have generated as much hype or controversy. More recently, he played a key role in creating induced pluripotent stem cells, which might someday provide the benefits of embryonic stem cells without destroying embryos.

» breastfeeding and quadriplegia
Several weeks ago the question was asked whether a woman, with a quadriplegic level injury, could breastfeed; it resulted in an extensive search to find support for a response to this question. A search of the literature revealed one article that discusses breastfeeding in a woman with a compromised nervous system. Contacts with several lactation specialists and centers for women with disabilities were most encouraging but without conclusive evidence. The general consensus is that if a quadriplegic woman wants to breastfeed, she should be encouraged to try to do so. There will be benefits for both mother and baby, whether breastfeeding is for one or two weeks or for 6 weeks or longer. The following suggestions were offered by sever...... - 2008-12-19
» Why is gay rights even an issue?
It should totally be up to the states. True...true.It's up to the federal gov't. to protect the rights of the minority - hence the constitutional bill of rights.It should be. But look at one of the branches of the federal government has been doing in regards to "gay rights" ...... in 1996 the Supreme Court struck down Colorado's "Amendment 2" (Romer v. Evans) and in 2003 it struck down the "sodomy laws" of 13 states. So long as the Supreme Court issues rulings like those, the Court itself is nationalizing the issue of "gay rights."Civil rights are very important. They certainly were to the blacks of the 1950's and 1960's, some of whom lost their lives just in an attempt to ride a bus or eat lunch at a restaurant. Th...... - 2008-12-19
» A couple ?s from a 760 newbie
Hi, I've never had my own GPS before ... only used the "Never Lost" when renting from Hertz. After seeing my cabbie use a 660 to find my address from the airport (they almost always need my street-to-street instrux) I was sold. After doing some research I'm about set on the 760. First question: Can I start using it immediately? I can get it shipped to me one hour before I leave for a 6 hr drive (Chgo to Kentucky) to visit a new client, if I pay a little extra. But if it needs charging for 24 hours or something then I'll just pay for regular ground. Second question: Does the 760 work with the friction mount? I'm thinking I'd rather use the beanbag thing since I park in dicey areas and would prefer to remove all evidence of a GPS. B...... - 2008-12-19

Wise, so please tell us, did you come away from the Vancouver conference more optimistic about a cure (not decades away) that would "fool a 3rd party?" or less optimistic? Were the other attendees optimistic? I don't want to hear any talk of getting bladder and bowels working and forget anything else. Another thing, and she'll kill me for saying it, do globechaser's eyes shine as in the photos?the biloxi conference hinted that they are very close.Right now Bowel and Bladder non-function would be the two biggest problems in my life.

» Where does holy water come from?
where does holy water come fromHoly water is just plain water that has been blessed by a priest.Faith Edit: a, Priest is not even needed. All that is needed is Faith and any source of water. We had a sermon about faith in Church the other day and I had a glass of half filled with water. I asked the Lord to make it Holy for me and after that I just could not bring myself to drink it. So I just took it up to the offering table and left it with the tithes as a offering to the Lord. water becomes holy water when a priest blesses it. the priest usually performs the blesing by making the sign of the cross and saying a prayer... it is also the same with the holy rosary and the bible. you usually buy them in the church (already blessed b...... - 2008-12-19
» Evil at Home
Evil at Home Apr 30, 2003 In 1985, terrorists seized the Achille Lauro. A Palestinian hit squad tormented the passengers and transformed a Mediterranean pleasure cruise into a nightmare. Assassins killed Leon Klinghoffer and heaved his body into the sea. Klinghoffer used a wheelchair. He died because he was an American and a Jew. The terrorists were caught, but in an all too typical display of the ease with which Europe accommodates evil, Italy released Abu Abbas, the seajacking's mastermind. Abbas' network plotted other atrocities. He lived in Gaza for a spell (according to Palestinian propagandists the peace process associated with the Olso Accords gave Abbas and other terrorists a reprieve), and more recently removed himself to ...... - 2008-12-19
» Portable Wheelchair Ramp Recommendations?
I'm looking to buy a portable ramp that I can carry in my Dodge Caravan. It would be used for access to residences of friends and family. I'm thinking it probably should be about 6 to 8 feet long and should fold up into a small enough package to store in the van. I've checked eBay and there's several companies selling different models of these ramps. Has anyone had any experience with these? Any recommendations? I use a power wheelchair - total weight load is around 450 pounds.Brian, I have been having the same problem. I am currently using ramps that are six-foot long that my dad fabricated from aluminum. The problem with them is that they do not fold and are too long to keep in my Chevrolet Venture and still be able to maneuver into ...... - 2008-12-19
» Deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease
http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/345/13/956 This is a really stunning result... Deep brain stimulation resulted in an increase in the percentage of time that patients had good mobility without involuntary movements from 27-28% to 64-74%. Seven of the 96% had brain hemorrhage and two had infections requiring the removal of the electrodes. So, there was a 10% complication rate but the beneficial effects are iimpressive.Here are some additional information concerning the deep brain stimulation method as practiced at the Beth Israel Hospital in New York for the treatment of movement disorders: http://nyneurosurgery.org/Adult/Movement/stndbs.htmDr Young one of my poster publication (Szekely, T. : The role of CSF to ECF outflow and ...... - 2008-12-19
» Seat to floor height
I've looked for a new wheelchair for a long time (more than 45 days) and after reading a lot, I decided for a Tilite TX - I want a folding chair that performs (almost) as a rigid one. But, when ordering my chair, I discovered that the maximum seat to floor height (using 24" rear wheel) is only 17.5" (too low for me; I'd like about 20"). So, AFAIK, my options were reduced to Quickie GTX (18.5") and Tilite X (19"). I'd really like to hear comments about these 2 chairs or any better option. Thanks. -- MarcusOr you could use a three to four inch cushion on the seat.......I would say go with thicker cushions too. But, with your seat being so high, you are going to have problems getting your legs under tables and counters. Is your current cha...... - 2008-12-19
» Rising cost of insurance
I dont have insurance my sister does. She started in 2001 paying $274 per month. In 2002 they increased to $296 per month (almost 10%), in 2003 she paid $320 (again almost 10%). Today she receive a letter informing her that she will pay in 2004 $370 per month( increase almost 20%)I understand that health care cost rise but who gets 10% rise in salary per year? Where is the limit? 2-3 years from now she will not afford to pay. I wonder if others have same problem and what can be done about it. I'm going to send them a letter that she can not afford to pay, I will see what will be their answer.When I had health insurance a few yrs ago, my rates went up by 50% (compounded) a year then 100% per year. Needless to say, I was forced to drop the c...... - 2008-12-19

» How do you put to bed an 8 week old infant at night when he won't sleep anywhere else but in bed next to mom?
I've tried putting him in his swing, a vibrating chair, his bassinet with and without the vibrate on, with the lights on, with the lights off, and he won't take a pacifier. He uses me as a pacifier and likes the warmth of my skin next to him to put him to sleep. He cries whenever i try putting him somewhere else after i get him to fall asleep next to me in bed.Start slow. Do you have a bassinet that you can take off the stand and place next to you in bed? If so, start there. . .in a few days move him to the bassinet next to the bed then start moving it out of the room. Same thing during the day. Put him in the swing, not moving and let him suck in your finger then slowly move away. I may take awhile, but if he is tired enou...... - 2008-12-19

Remember the security issue, though. Were we to allow uploading to the game, there's the risk that... um... bad things will happen. That's why we're really careful about security, and don't allow, say, personally-designed cape emblems, and that sort of thing. So it's a nice idea, but I'd forego the concept for the security that careful protection gives us all. Maybe a Festival Hats Crafter, too?
