I apologise.  I believe that I miss understood (or was totally making something up) when talking about why Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms occur most frequently below the renal arteries.  First, it wasn't Dr. Rhodes who told me that...I can't find where I heard that--I guess I made it up.  Second, I have been able to find anomalies where individuals have weak points there because of lack of adequate collagen fibers.  The most common reason is from the build up of plaque.  The most common sites for plaque build up is at bifurcation points.  The bifurcation causes turbulence that allows for the build up.  So, I'm sorry that I said anything before I had something to back up my thinking.

How to change the speed noteservice recordings
OneNote
Written by Erik Gulbrandsen   
Thursday, 04 January 2007

This is a quick tutorial that will teach you how to change the speed of the noteservice mp3's to whatever speed you want (and still maintain good pitch--so they don't sound like chipmunks).  You need to download two things.  One is the program.  The other is the mp3 encoder.  Read on...it is fairly easy. 

Audacity

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/latest/audacity-win/audacity-win-1.2.6.exe

lame encoder:
http://www.webhostxpress.net/%7Emitiok/lame-3.96.1.zip

You install the first.  Then, unzip the second and place the lame_enc.dll file in a secure location that won't be deleted (such as your c:\)

Open audacity, then, open an mp3 using file--->open.  This should take about 45 seconds to import.  Then, cut out the dead space at the front and end (highlight it, then, press delete or backspace).  Then, press CTRL-A to select all the audio (or highlight it with your mouse).  Then, go to effect--->change tempo.  Type in 65 (this is 1.65 speed), or whatever speed you wish.  Select OK, or whatever it says.  This step should take the processor about a minute.  Then, go to file--->export--->mp3.  Create a name for your file.  Then, hit save.  As you do this, it will say that the lame_enc.dll encoder wasn't found and it will ask if you would like to find it.  You do, so, search for the file that you put in c:\ or wherever you stored it. 

A tip...you should go to edit--->preferences--->file formats and change the bit rate to something that is more manageable.  The default bit rate is 128, which will give you a HUGE file--so change it to like, 32 or 24.  Anything less than that is difficult to hear at the increased speeds.


That should do it.  Now, all you have to do is take the file, and drag it into a OneNote page.  This will bring up a prompt--you want to embedd the file, not copy a hyperlink to it.

hit play, and take notes!

Heart Disease and Air Pollution
Announcements
Written by Erik Gulbrandsen   
Thursday, 04 January 2007

There is a great article published in the journal Circulation about air pollution and heart disease by one of my favorite professors from BYU.  He was an expert epidemiologist that focuses on air pollution and its effects on our bodies. 

He taught my environmental economics course--one of my favorite in my undergraduate studies.  Read about the article here .

 

 

 
Autosave Notebooks on Another Computer
OneNote
Written by Erik Gulbrandsen   
Wednesday, 03 January 2007

There is a feature built into OneNote 2007 that will auto-backup your notes for you on another computer.  Also, it will allow you to take notes on a seperate computer, and always have them synced.  It is called the "shared notebook".

 

Here is what you need to know:

  1. To make a shared notebook, click on "new" then point to "notebook". (do this on the computer that stays at your house--this is for security.
  2. Type a name, then, follow the steps until it asks if you want to use it on multiple computers--you do, so, use that step.  You can have it send you a link if you want, but, you don't need it.
  3. Know, you need to share that section.  Go to windows explorer, and move the notebook to a folder on your computer that can be shared (generally, sharing in the "my documents" folder is a bad idea).  This folder can be the "shared documents" folder.  Right click on the containing folder (the notebook) and click on sharing. 
  4. Click "share this folder on the network".  Also, click "allow network users to change my files". 
  5. If windows asks if you really want to share, tell it that you do.
  6. Now, go to your laptop, and open windows explorer. 
  7. Go to "my network places" (type it in your browser). 
  8. Look for the folder you shared and open it.
  9. Open the notebook that you shared
  10. You are done! 

Anytime you make a change on the laptop, it will show up on the desktop (assuming you are connected to the same network).  If you are at school, and you make a change on the laptop, when you return at night to the desktop, it will sync it.

I have never tried this method exactly like this.  I created the shared notebook on my laptop, then synced my desktop (I explained the other way around).  I am recommending (for the time being) that you make the notebook on your desktop.  The reason is that anybody would be able to delete the notebook that is shared over the network.  However, with a home network, that isn't a problem.  My only concern is that the notebook on your laptop is stored in a cache file, and I don't know how well it will work being gone all day long.  I think it should be fine.  Test it out and let me know (I don't go to class anymore, so I can't test it).

 

Good luck!  Trust me, the shared notebook is really cool and a great way to have a backup of your notes.  It may seem a little tedious to set it up, but, it is pretty simple once you understand the concept.  Ask for help, if you need it.
