You configure authentication for Web sites based on Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services by configuring authentication methods in Internet Information Services (IIS) (Internet Information Services (IIS): Software services from Microsoft that support Web site creation, configuration, and management, along with other Internet functions.). Windows SharePoint Services uses the authentication method you specify for a virtual server (virtual server: A virtual computer that resides on an HTTP server but appears to the user as a separate HTTP server. Several virtual servers can reside on one computer. Each virtual server can have its own domain name and IP address.) in IIS to control authentication for all top-level Web site (top-level Web site: The default, top-level site provided by a Web server or virtual server. To gain access to the top-level Web site, you supply the URL of the server without specifying a page name or subsite.) and subsites (subsite: A complete Web site stored in a named subdirectory of the top-level Web site. Each subsite can have administration, authoring, and browsing permissions that are independent from the top-level Web site and other subsites.) of that virtual server. Windows SharePoint Services works with the following authentication methods in IIS:
You can change authentication methods for virtual servers hosting Web sites based on Windows SharePoint Services, and you can change the authentication method used for the SharePoint Central Administration site. You can also enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security in IIS to help protect your sites or the administration port (administration port: The Internet Information Services (IIS) virtual server and port used for SharePoint Central Administration.) for your server.
Each virtual server can use a different authentication method in Internet Information Services (IIS). You can even enable multiple authentication methods if you are using the same Web site content in more than one environment. For example, if you have a Web site that is primarily for internal use within your organization, you would most likely choose Integrated Windows authentication. If, however, your use of the site changes, and you must allow your organization's members to access the site externally through a firewall (firewall: A security system that uses a proxy server outside of an organization's network to protect the network against external threats, such as malicious users or corrupt files.), you might also want to enable Basic authentication.
Note Basic authentication is less secure than Integrated Windows authentication. For this scenario it is recommended that you use Basic authentication with SSL to help make your environment more secure.
When you change authentication methods in IIS, you do not need to change any settings in Windows SharePoint Services. For example, if you decide to use Integrated Windows authentication instead of Basic authentication, you make the change only in IIS.
Note For more information about IIS authentication methods, see the topic About Authentication in IIS 6.0 Help.
To enable SSL for a virtual server hosting Web sites based on Windows SharePoint Services, you can simply turn on SSL in IIS. If you want to use SSL for the SharePoint Central Administration virtual server, you must also use the setadminport command-line operation to enable SSL in Windows SharePoint Services.
You can enable SSL for a virtual server by using Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Note that you must have a certificate before you can enable SSL. For more information about SSL certificates, see the topics About Certificates and Setting Up SSL on Your Server in IIS 6.0 Help.
After you have enabled SSL for the SharePoint Central Administration virtual server in IIS, you must use the command line to configure Windows SharePoint Services to use SSL. Perform the following steps to configure Windows SharePoint Services to use SSL for the Central Administration pages.
stsadm.exe –o setadminport –p 443
stsadm.exe –o setadminport –p 443
Replace the port number in the example syntax with the port number you want to use for remote administration. Run this command on each Web front-end server in your server farm. Note that this step is for server farms only; you do not need to change the administration port if you are running Windows SharePoint Services on a single server.
stsadm.exe –o setadminport –ssl
stsadm.exe –o setadminport –ssl
If you have a server farm, you must run this command on each Web front-end server in your server farm.
Note If you want a more secure administration port, it is recommended that you also use your firewall or the IIS IP and domain restrictions feature to restrict access to the administration port. With either the firewall or IP and domain restrictions, you can specify that requests from unauthorized IP addresses or network domain names (network domain name: A group of users in a network who share a common set of shared resources, such as server disk drives and printers. A large network may have several domains based upon the needs of each set of users.) be ignored. For more information about configuring IP and domain restrictions in IIS, see the IIS Help system. For more information about configuring your firewall to reject unauthorized requests, see the documentation for your firewall.
For more information about authentication methods or SSL, see "Windows SharePoint Services Security Model" in the Windows SharePoint Services Administrator's Guide.
For more information about using command-line operations such as setadminport, see Command-Line Operations.

Yes, she will probably get back-pay, but that doesn't help when this month's bills are due!).
- Oh, and our daughter's daycare is also on-site. It is being run privately out of someone's house during the shutdown.
- Processing of my green card application is on pause until after the department of labor is up and running again.
- I am hiring a researcher with funds that are partly coming from NASA. Some of the money is in my account, but the next payment is expected in a week. Fortunately, some of the money for that position is coming from another source, so I can pay him for about 6 months before I need the NASA money, but if that weren't true it would be about 1 month.
- I have grant proposals under review from both the NSF and NASA. The review process is on pause and no one knows how long it'll take before we know whether we can do research next year...
- When I teach, I regularly make use of things on NASA websites, which are not running so my students have to listen to me instead of seeing examples.

That's certainly true, but some fraction of them will be good teachers innately or from additional training. Given the current job market, where there are far more highly qualified candidates than you can even short-list for any tenure-track faculty position at even non-prestigious research universities, departments can afford to be picky when they hire. In other words, don't expect to get hired today if you're only a good researcher but not a good teacher, because someone else who applied for the job will both be a good researcher *and* a good teacher.
As a consequence, the past 5 years of tenure-track hires at pretty much any university are, on average, much better teachers than average hires have been before.

Valrhona's Ethical Commitment
As a renowned chocolate authority, Valrhona is committed to maintaining high standards. This commitment goes beyond producing the highest quality cocoa, and chocolates with unrivalled taste, to conducting business in a responsible, sustainable way.
Fair trade co-development begins right in the heart of the cocoa plantation, between the cocoa farmers and Valrhona. Every effort is made to improve the respect of social, environmental and economic conditions.
This partnership is illustrated by three key pillars:
1. A commitment to strict terms and conditions as regards the cocoa farmers with whom we work directly (including exclusivity of certain plantations, fixed prices and guaranteed volume)
2. Long-term relations that enable us to provide the producers with a steady income and guaranteed profitability. In return, Valrhona obtains a strong commitment to the proven farming methods that guarantee fine cocoa of exceptional quality.
3. The provision by Valrhona of developed techniques that have been proven throughout its experience (such as the search for new sources and fermentation) that enable producers to enhance their land.
Our Plantations:
In order to further progress with our knowledge of the cocoa, Valrhona bought its first plantation El Pedregal in Venezuela 20 years ago, followed more recently in 2011 by Loma Sotavento in the Dominican Republic. For Valrhona, these company-owned plantations are living laboratories for research and exploration on several levels; they contribute to significant progress in certain crucial stages of the development of aromatic characteristics, such as fermentation and drying.
They help us in our experiments into responsible and sustainable farming. Valrhona works together with local experts to convert plantations into natural botanic gardens that create a new balance between the flora and its ecosystem.
El Pedregal plantation has enabled us to develop a vintage estate grown chocolate, with unrivalled delicacy: Porcelana El Pedregal (available November 2011)
Just like a fine vintage wine, the estate grown chocolates are the fruit of the yearly harvest of a single plantation, and the passion of a cocoa farmer. Each vintage thus offers you the opportunity to discover new facets of its personality. Valrhona also invites you to taste these vintage chocolates with unique and outstanding aromatic characteristics, Palmira from Venezuela, Gran Couva from Trinidad and Ampamakia from Madagascar.

It was their first taste of freedom. Passengers on the Carnival Triumph kissed the ground after finally reaching dry land.
The passengers had spent 6 days stranded at sea after a fire knocked out the ship's engine and nearly all of its power.
A valley woman who was on board the ship is sharing her experience with us.
We've heard a lot about horrific conditions on that cruise ship, but we talked with a valley woman who was aboard that ill-fated cruise. She wanted to set the record straight about what it was really like, and she thinks Carnival handled the situation as best as they could.
"Oh my gosh -- we were so excited, so excited I was jumping up and down. When I saw land -- it was like, no, I did not see land -- I wanted to kiss the ground as soon as I got off the ship," says Hevin Knappenberger, Carnival Triumph passenger.
Scottsdale resident Hevin Knappenberger describes what it was like to finally step off the crippled Carnival Triumph Thursday night. She got home earlier today.
"To see lights, and the city -- it's like there's land because we didn't know where we were for so long."
Hevin says while it wasn't the cruise she and a friend were hoping for, but for her, it wasn't as hellish as some passengers are saying. Her photos show helicopters and other cruise ships that brought in supplies.
"They always had food. They had four cruise ships come and drop off food back and forth. So to see the all these ships come and go it was just unbelievable."
Hevin says most passengers tried to stay calm, and praises the crew for working hard in tough conditions.
"There were a lot of difficult parts but I would say the most difficult part would be seeing people sleeping by the tenders on the balconies. It would be really hot the first couple of days -- and then it would be really cold. And that's when it really hit me," says Hevin.
So after the ordeal, would she ever go on another cruise?
"I definitely will -- but I don't know that I would go anytime soon."
Hevin says another tough part was not having any electricity, so their cabins were pitch dark at night. They would have to use their phones and iPads for light.
She says she is really looking forward to a hot shower and sleeping in her own bed.

The most authoritative and intimate portrait written of Horatio Nelson
In this epic biography of British history's most celebrated naval commander, acclaimed historian John Sugden separates fact from myth to offer a powerful portrait of the military hero of Trafalgar.
As was true of the Sugden's riveting account of Horatio Nelson's early years (Nelson: A Dream of Glory, 2005), this comprehensive life of Lord Nelson is built from largely overlooked primary documents, letters, and diaries that reach across two centuries to invite us to share Nelson's multifaceted life in the Napoleonic Wars.
The Sword of Albion offers the sweep and intimacy of first-rate historical fiction—revealing the interior lives, for example, of Lord Nelson's wife, Fanny and family and the caring and more passionate Emma, Lady Hamilton, who nursed the war-weary hero back to health in Naples and London after his brilliant victory over the Spanish fleet at Cape St. Vincent in 1797 and the stunning defeat at Tenerife that cost Nelson his right arm.
Today's reader comes to understand that every obstacle in Nelson's path was attacked head-on with an Achilles-like ferocity and resolve. Yet his life was no steady upward trajectory; it was instead plagued by injuries and debt for the commoner admiral in a royal navy and English society dominated by lineage and property. As Sugden points out, "His life was a mission with the essence of a tour de force, hurrying toward a bloody climax that would change the fate of empires."
"Perhaps the best biography of Nelson to emerge in the past two centuries…superbly researched and very well-written."—The Daily Beast
"This superb warts-and-all biography details the awe-inspiring ups and downs of the final eight years of British Admiral Horatio Nelson's life. Sugden's meticulously researched, highly readable work will no doubt be the definitive portrait of a brilliant, fearless, inspiring warrior beset by flaws and vulnerabilities."—PW, "Best New Book of the Week"
"This is an ambitious and largely successful conclusion to a biography of a historical icon that has appeal for both scholars and general readers interested in British history."—Booklist
"Superb…In addition to expertly depicting the intricacies of maritime warfare, Sugden's meticulously researched, highly readable work will no doubt be the definitive portrait of a brilliant, fearless, inspiring warrior beset by flaws and vulnerabilities."—PW (Starred Review)
"It's clear that Sugden has spent an enormous amount of time on his research into primary sources, many of them newly accessed, and [he] presents a masterly portrait of the hero as a man…This is biography as it is meant to be."—Library Journal (Starred Review)
"History repeats itself and it's worth as visit."—Examiner.com"
A scholar's dream…tremendously engaging."—Kirkus
"A rich and many-sitting read."—Library Journal

Spinal Manipulation and Home Exercise With Advice for Subacute and Chronic Back-Related Leg Pain: A Trial With Adaptive Allocation

For many people, intimacy in the bedroom often takes a back seat to low back pain, say researchers, who have scientifically determined the best sexual positions to prevent spinal muscles from seizing up at an inopportune moment.
In what they believe is the first biomechanical study of its kind, researchers at the University of Waterloo have found that certain positions are better than others for keeping different kinds of back pain at bay.
And they've thrown out the long-held belief that spooning — where partners lie sideways curled back to front — is the only pose for back-saving sex.
"Before now, spooning was often recommended by physicians as the one position that fit all. But as we've discovered, that is not the case," said Natalie Sidorkewicz, a PhD candidate and lead author of the paper published Thursday in the journal Spine.
"What that failed to do was recognize that there are all sorts of triggers for back pain," she said from Waterloo, Ont. "So someone may find relief in one position that may cause pain for someone else."
To conduct the study, the researchers recruited 10 heterosexual couples, with an average age of about 30, to have sexual intercourse in a controlled laboratory setting.
Each participant was fitted with remote sensors, which tracked how their spines moved when they engaged in five common sex positions. Infrared and electromagnetic motion capture systems — such as those used to animate figures in video games and films — showed how the men's and women's spines flexed when they assumed each position.
"So we were able to actually determine what angle the spine is at, at each moment in time that they're having sex," said Sidorkewicz, adding that electrodes on participants' skin also captured activity in their core and hip muscles.
The findings were used to create an atlas, or set of guidelines, that recommends different sex positions and thrusting techniques based on what movements trigger a patient's pain.

In the 50s and 60s, American chiropractors held a series of rather unusual beauty pageants where contestants were judged and winners picked not only by their apparent beauty and poise, but also their standing posture (backed with X-rays of their spines, of course).
The contests were a publicity stunt, Reginal Hug, past president of the Association for the History of Chiropractic, told Scott Hensley of NPR, and was meant to burnish the reputation of the profession. The message, he said, was that good posture led to good health and that chiropractors could help with that. "In those days, nobody was concerned about radiation," Hug added, noting the use of X-rays to check for spinal structures.
Why not contests for men? Actually, there were some but they weren't as popular and didn't last very long. "The guys always slouched," Hug added.
Like many things that were hot back in the early 20th century (like flagpole sitting, goldfish swallowing and phone booth stuffing), the popularity of the chiropractic beauty pageant waned. The last big contest was held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1969.
Adherence to Clinical Practice Guidelines Among Three Primary Contact Professions: A Best Evidence Synthesis of the Literature for the Management of Acute and Subacute Low Back Pain
SOURCE: J Can Chiropr Assoc 2014 (Sept); 58(3): 220–237
Senior Clinical Supervisor, School of Health Professions [Discipline of Chiropractic]
Aim: To determine adherence to clinical practice guidelines in the medical, physiotherapy and chiropractic professions for acute and subacute mechanical low back pain through best-evidence synthesis of the healthcare literature.
Methods: A structured best-evidence synthesis of the relevant literature through a literature search of relevant databases for peer-reviewed papers on adherence to clinical practice guidelines from 1995 to 2013. Inclusion of papers was based on selection criteria and appraisal by two reviewers who independently applied a modified Downs & Black appraisal tool. The appraised papers were summarized in tabular form and analysed by the authors.
Results: The literature search retrieved 23 potentially relevant papers that were evaluated for methodological quality, of which 11 studies met the inclusion criteria. The main finding was that no profession in the study consistently attained an overall high concordance rating. Of the three professions examined, 73% of chiropractors adhered to current clinical practice guidelines, followed by physiotherapists (62%) and then medical practitioners (52%).

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a substantially increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease in older people, according to the most robust study of its kind ever conducted.
An international team, led by Dr David Llewellyn at the University of Exeter Medical School, found that study participants who were severely Vitamin D deficient were more than twice as likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
The team studied elderly Americans who took part in the Cardiovascular Health Study. They discovered that adults in the study who were moderately deficient in vitamin D had a 53 per cent increased risk of developing dementia of any kind, and the risk increased to 125 per cent in those who were severely deficient.
Similar results were recorded for Alzheimer's disease, with the moderately deficient group 69 per cent more likely to develop this type of dementia, jumping to a 122 per cent increased risk for those severely deficient.
The study was part-funded by the Alzheimer's Association, and is published in August 6 2014 online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. It looked at 1,658 adults aged 65 and over, who were able to walk unaided and were free from dementia, cardiovascular disease and stroke at the start of the study. The participants were then followed for six years to investigate who went on to develop Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
Dr Llewellyn said: "We expected to find an association between low Vitamin D levels and the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, but the results were surprising – we actually found that the association was twice as strong as we anticipated.
Nutritional Factors Affecting Postpartum Depression
SOURCE: Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics 2011 (Jun); 12 (1): 849–860
Assistant Professor, Division of Life Sciences,
Pregnancy and lactation represent a period of substantial physiological changes for the mother and increased nutritional requirements to meet these adjustments. A number of nutritional depletions occur during pregnancy. Serum concentrations of iron and folate take months before they normalize to pre-pregnancy levels. Additionally, many micronutrients required during pregnancy interfere with each other, making absorption difficult. Postpartum depression is the primary complication of childbirth, possibly caused by several nutritional and non-nutritional factors. The current review highlights the impact nutrition may have on the etiology of this debilitating disorder, most notably on prevention of inflammation and maintenance of a healthy central nervous system. The most notable nutritional deficiencies associated with postpartum depression include omega-3 fatty acids, folate, iron, and zinc; however, supplementation trials for prevention of postpartum depression are severely lacking. Practical recommendations are given to minimize micronutrient interference and reduce the risk of postpartum depression.
Key Words: postpartum depression, nutrition, diet, folate, essential fatty acids, iron, zinc
From the Full-Text Article:
Depression is the second leading cause of disability for those of reproductive age. [1] Although all forms of depression are devastating, postpartum depression (PPD) has long-lasting consequences for all family members involved. Postpartum depression is the most common complication of childbirth, defined as having major or minor depressive episodes that occur within 12 months after delivery. [2, 3] Postpartum depression has been associated with impaired mother-child interactions, poorer child development, and more violent behavior in children with mothers displaying PPD. [4-6]
Pregnancy is a time of increased nutritional requirements to support fetal growth and development. There are several lines of thought concerning the cause of PPD, including the link between nutritional intake and risk of depression. Therefore, the goal of this review is to examine maternal depletion of nutrients, assess whether these nutritional factors may play a role in PPD, and summarize simple recommendations to implement in practice.

Pre-Eclampsia and the Impact on Chiropractic Management
This comprehensive new study from the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine reveals that chiropractic care costs significantly less than other forms of low back care, and appears to comply with guideline recommendations more closely than than any of the other 4 comparison groups.

Energy Drinks are readily available in supermarkets throughout the world. There are currently no restrictions or guidelines on safe consumption by children. Energy drink consumption by adolescents is on the rise, as companies continue to aggressively market their product to this demographic. It has become socially acceptable for children to consume these drinks, as there is a perception that the products are safe. In addition, they have become a popular accessory in the youth extreme-sport culture. Overall, research on adolescent energy drink consumption is lacking, however side effects similar to that seen in adults, have been reported in the adolescent population. The chiropractor must be aware of these side effects, including how they may relate to presenting symptoms, and educate their patients on the dangers of energy drink consumption.
Key Words: energy drink, caffeine, adolescent, chiropractic
To review the literature on energy drink consumption amongst adolescents, and discuss the physiological effects that may present to the chiropractic office.
Scientific journal databases were searched, including PubMed, Medline, Proquest, Cochrane, CINAHL, Medscape, and Index to Chiropractic Literature. An open internet search was also performed.

Background: There is a small body of published research (six research studies and a Cochrane review) suggesting that manual therapy is effective in the treatment of infant colic. Research from the UK has shown that the costs of NHS treatment are high (£65million [USD100 million] in 2001) with no alleviation of the condition.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to: investigate the cost of the inconsolable nocturnal crying infant syndrome which is popularly known as infant colic in the first 20 weeks of life, estimate the costs of different types of treatment commonly chosen by parents for a colicky infant for a week of care or an episode of care, investigate the cost of chiropractic manual therapy intervention aimed at reducing the hours of infant crying alongside a randomised controlled trial (RCT) showing effectiveness of treatment
Design: Economic evaluation incorporating a RCT
Methods: A cost analysis was conducted using data from a RCT conducted in a three-armed single-blinded trial that randomized excessively crying infants into one of three groups: a) routine chiropractic manual therapy (CMT), b) CMT with parent blinded or c) no treatment control group with parent blinded. These costs were compared with costs of caring for infant colic from Unit Costs of Health and Social Care, UK, 2011. It has been widely estimated that 21% of infants in the UK present annually to primary care for excessive crying and this calculated to 167,000 infants (to the nearest 1,000) used in the cost analysis as there were 795,249 infants in the UK in mid-2010 according to the UK Office of National Statistics, 2011.
Results: 100 infants completed the RCT and this resulted in treatment costs of £58/child ($93). An additional cost of GP care of £27.50 was added for initial evaluation of the general health of the child and suitability for chiropractic management, totaling £85.50 per child in the RCT. Clinical outcomes are published elsewhere, but care showed both statistically and clinically significant efficacy in reduced crying time by an average of 2.6 hours resulting in a crying time of less than two hours a day (reaching "normal" levels which could be classified as non-colic behavior). Cost per child's care was £85.50 extrapolated to £14,278,500 for the full cohort of 167,000. If chiropractic care had been given privately, costs were calculated as £164/child per episode of care and this equalled £27,388,000 for the entire cohort. Medical costs through a normal stream of care amounted to £1089.91 per child or £182,014,970 for the cohort (including all costs of care, not just NHS). No benefits of effectiveness were accrued from any of those types of treatment. If the Morris NHS data were extrapolated to 2010, applying wage inflation, the cost would be £118 million (USD180 million) yearly. An episode of an average of four treatments of chiropractic manual therapy with documented efficacy of CMT cost from 8% to 24% of NHS care or routine care.
Conclusion: chiropractic manual therapy was a cost-effective option in this study. A much larger randomized study of routine medical care versus routine chiropractic care is recommended to determine whether there is confirmation of these findings.
As effective treatment for children with infant colic remains elusive, the costs of managing the condition is gaining increasing attention. Although it is uncommon for clinicians to be quizzed about the cost-effectiveness of their treatments, [1] particularly where the clinicians' services are covered by a national health plan, it is increasingly appropriate to ask this question, when prudence in health care expenditure is required.

Objective: Breastfeeding an infant has many long and short-term health benefits. Chiropractic care, as part of a multidisciplinary team, has the potential to assist with biomechanical causes of breastfeeding dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to review the literature and explore what evidence there is to support this theory.
Methods: Database searches were performed (PubMed, MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health and Index to Chiropractic Literature) and hand searches to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria were: written in the English language in a peer-reviewed journal, involving infant human participants and a focus on chiropractic treatment for breastfeeding (dysfunction).
Results: Ten articles were reviewed; 5 case studies, 3 case series, 1 clinical trial and 1 narrative.
Conclusions: Limited evidence exists to support chiropractic treatment for infants with breastfeeding dysfunction. Of the 6 case studies, 3 case series and 1 clinical trial found in this report there was a trend towards resolution of breastfeeding issues with chiropractic treatment of biomechanical imbalances. More meticulous, higher evidence studies are needed to provide further evidence of this.
Key Words: breastfeeding, chiropractic, infant, spinal manipulation.
Breastfeeding, particularly exclusively for the first 6 months, has been associated with numerous beneficial short and long term health outcomes for an infant. [1, 2] Breast milk has been shown to contain secretory IgA antibodies, lactoferrin, oligosaccharides, numerous cytokines and growth factors which all aid in an infant's immune response. [3, 4] Purported short term benefits to the infant are a decreased risk of many childhood illnesses. [5] Incidence of gastro-intestinal infections, otitis media, other respiratory tract infections and asthma, even in those with a strong family history, may be decreased in infants who are breastfed.

Summary: This study demonstrates that adverse drug reactions do potentially pose a public health risk within the pediatric population and all healthcare providers need to be mindful of this risk. Adverse events to medication within this population are prevalent particularly in children under the age of two. Chiropractors must therefore be aware of adverse drug reactions and recognize symptoms within their patient population.
Key terms: off label use; non-prescription drugs, child, pediatrics, drug toxicity guidelines, adverse medication reactions in children
A 19-week-old premature infant presented to a chiropractic teaching clinic with a 'poor feeding pattern, recent slowing in weight gain and increase in crying' over a three week period. The mother stated that this had started following a respiratory infection which occurred two months ago, with an associated rash that spread from her abdomen to the back of her neck, face and head. At least six weeks previously her GP had prescribed a cold remedy for the day (Calcold®) and Calpol® Night for the evening for the respiratory infection, and cortisone cream when a rash developed two weeks later. The medications seemed to help the child sleep, in fact she seemed to sleep much more during the day and night, which was put down to illness. However this did not change in the ensuing weeks after the respiratory infection abated. The mother continued with the Calpol® Night at the recommendation of the GP along with a change to Calpol® (instead of Calcold®) in the day, since it seemed to have helped with sleep. We examined a lethargic infant with an erythematous rash covering the trunk, head and neck who had decreased almost two centiles on her growth chart in the previous several weeks, and although not losing weight, she was nevertheless not gaining weight. Without another obvious etiology, was there an association between the medication and the child's signs and symptoms?

Purpose Over 20 years ago the term non-specific low back pain became popular to convey the limitations of our knowledge of the pathological source of most people's low back pain. Knowledge of underlying pathology has advanced little since then, despite limited improvements in outcomes for patients with low back pain.
Methods This paper discusses potential misunderstandings related to diagnostic studies in the field of low back pain and argues that future diagnostic studies should include and investigate pathological sources of low back pain.
Results Six potential misunderstandings are discussed.
- Until diagnosis is shown to improve outcomes it is not worth investigating;
- without a gold standard it is not possible to investigate diagnosis of low back pain;
- the presence of pathology in some people without low back pain means it is not important;
- dismissal of the ability to diagnose low back pain in clinical guidelines is supported by the same level of evidence as recommendations for therapy;
- suggesting use of a diagnostic test in research is misinterpreted as endorsing its use in current clinical practice;
- we seem to have forgotten the 'bio' in biopsychosocial low back pain.
Conclusions We believe the misunderstandings presented in this paper partly explain the lack of investigation into pathology as an important component of the low back pain experience. A better understanding of the biological component of low back pain in relation, and in addition, to psychosocial factors is important for a more rational approach to management of low back pain.

Reading 1 Is 58: 7-10.
Thus says the LORD: Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer, you shall cry for help, and he will say: Here I am! If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech; if you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday.
Psalm Ps 112: 4-5. 6-7. 8-9.
R/ (4a) The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.
R/ Alleluia.
Light shines through the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious and merciful and just.
Well for the man who is gracious and lends,
who conducts his affairs with justice.
R/ The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.
R/ Alleluia.
He shall never be moved;
the just one shall be in everlasting remembrance.
An evil report he shall not fear;
his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
R/ The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.
R/ Alleluia.
His heart is steadfast; he shall not fear.
Lavishly he gives to the poor;
His justice shall endure forever;
his horn shall be exalted in glory.
R/ The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.
R/ Alleluia.
Reading 2 1 Cor 2: 1-5.
When I came to you, brothers and sisters, proclaiming the mystery of God, I did not come with sublimity of words or of wisdom. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling, and my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of Spirit and power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God.
Gospel Mt 5: 13-16.
Jesus said to his disciples: "You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father."

The need for efficient and secure payment processing in the card-not-present environment has never been more pressing. Advancements in risk mitigation solutions to address these present day challenges will continue to unfold manifesting in the form of end-to-end encryption, tokenization and dynamic authentication. Getting sensitive card data out of the payment system and providing better protection mechanisms for the online payment environment will remain a top priority for the payments industry. The emergence of Bitcoin and other virtual currencies portend that the payment industry will look for new ways to support the movement of funds.
Save the Date: On November 12, 2014, the Secure Remote Payment Council and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta are hosting a joint conference to consider the issues involved in creating a more efficient, secure online payment system. The conference, "Securing Remote Payments in the Card-not-Present Environment," will examine the advancements in risk mitigation solutions for the detection, protection and prevention of fraud, and address new ways to support funds movement in the online environment.
The conference will bring together industry experts, regulators, policymakers, and law enforcement officials to discuss the state of the industry and consider ways to enhance the security of card-not-present transactions. This one-day conference takes place at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta on Wednesday, November 12th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a reception following.

Beautiful presentation, I really like how you can "personalize" each card by choosing a different saying that is unique to the person. Baudville was convienient [...]. I purchased this item to recognize a member of my staff that was retiring. I wish the character pin and the card would have been bigger and that is the only reason it did not get 5 stars.

ST. LOUIS -- Ricky Nolasco cleaned out his locker and said his goodbyes in the Marlins clubhouse Sunday morning.
The Marlins traded Nolasco to the Dodgers late Saturday night for minor-league pitchers Angel Sanchez, Steven Ames and Josh Wall with Los Angeles agreeing to pay the remaining $5.7 million on Nolasco's contract.
"I'm going to miss these guys here more than I can say," said Nolasco, who flew to Arizona on Sunday to join the Dodgers for a key series that begins Monday against the Diamondbacks. "But they understand it is a business, and I'll see them in August. I made a lot of lifelong friends here. I'm never going to forget that."
Although Nolasco felt bittersweet departing after eight seasons with the Marlins, he said he was excited to be able to pitch for his favorite team that he said he watched around 15 times a year with his dad and brothers growing up.
"The phone has been nonstop," Nolasco said. "Obviously, I've never dealt with anything like that to where the phone was just blowing up.
"Everybody is just excited, everybody from back home. Even people who don't have my number, on Twitter and stuff, obviously where I grew up, they're all excited to see this happen. It's just an exciting time."
Nolasco's teammates wished him well and were happy he ended up in a good situation.
"He's going to the perfect spot for him," Giancarlo Stanton said. "To be able to go to where you want without having a choice is always a little extra bonus."
Nolasco, who went 5-8 with a 3.85 ERA in 18 starts for the Marlins, doesn't know when he will make his first start for the Dodgers, but it could come during the Diamondbacks series.
Slowey to start
Nolasco's trade meant Kevin Slowey's return to the rotation for the time being. Slowey will start Monday in what would have been Nolasco's spot against the Braves.
"[Manager Mike Redmond] talked to me about it [Saturday]," Slowey said. "He knows the importance of preparation. I don't think I'll know until [Monday], but I'll be as ready as I can be and the preparation will be there."
Ames and Wall were assigned to Triple A New Orleans, and Sanchez, the only starter of the group, was sent to Single A Jupiter.
Slowey will likely remain the fifth starter in the rotation until at least the All-Star break. Larry Beinfest, Marlins president of baseball operations, said Saturday the team will use the second half to evaluate several potential starters, including Tom Koehler (1-5, 4.70 ERA in 69 innings in 10 starts this season), who was recently sent to Triple A to clear room for Henderson Alvarez, and prospects right-handers Anthony DeSclafani, Sam Dyson and lefties Adam Conley and Brian Flynn.
• The Marlins also recalled pitcher Chris Hatcher from New Orleans and transferred infielder Chris Valaika to the 60-day disabled list.
Coming up
• Monday: Marlins RHP Slowey (3-6, 4.24 ERA) vs. Atlanta Braves LHP Mike Minor (8-4, 3.15), 7:10 p.m., Marlins Park.
• Tuesday: Marlins RHP Henderson Alvarez (0-0, 5.40) vs. Braves RHP Julio Teheran (6-4, 3.23), 7:10 p.m., Marlins Park.
• Scouting report: Slowey is 1-6 with a 4.50 ERA in 13 starts this season.

WASHINGTON (BP) -- Immigration reform, health care and same-sex marriage all made the cut in varying degrees for President Obama's State of the Union address.
The president cited each of the controversial issues during his fifth State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress and a national television audience Tuesday evening (Jan. 28). Some social conservatives responded with a call for action on one and critiques of his administration's policies on the others after Obama's 65-minute address.
In a speech that focused much on the economy and jobs, the president said, "[I]f we're serious about economic growth, it is time to heed the call of business leaders, labor leaders, faith leaders, law enforcement -- and fix our broken immigration system.
"Independent economists say immigration reform will grow our economy and shrink our deficits by almost $1 trillion in the next two decades," he said. "And for good reason: When people come here to fulfill their dreams -- to study, invent, contribute to our culture -- they make our country a more attractive place for businesses to locate and create jobs for everybody. So let's get immigration reform done this year."
Congress is seeking to address what is widely acknowledged as a deeply flawed system that has resulted in an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living illegally in the United States.
Last year, the Senate approved a broad immigration reform bill, which needs some repair work, according to the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). The House of Representatives took a piecemeal approach in 2013, with committees forwarding measures dealing with such aspects as strengthening border security, providing visas for guest workers and requiring employers to use the E-Verify system to check workers' eligibility.
The House's Republican majority is expected to discuss principles for immigration reform at a three-day retreat that began Wednesday (Jan. 29).
The Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT) -- a coalition of evangelical leaders promoting a solution that will secure the borders, respect the law and authorize a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants -- placed in the Jan. 29 issue of USA Today a full-page ad telling House Republicans: "We're Praying for You."
The ad lists the EIT's principles for the GOP representatives to consider and says, "We pray God will show you a path forward that honors the rule of law (Romans 13) and the call to welcome the stranger (Matthew 25)."
ERLC President Russell D. Moore is one of the 11 evangelical leaders who make up the EIT.
On health care, Obama cited some of the results of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the 2010 health care reform law that has remained controversial for various reasons. More than 3 million people under 26 years of age have acquired coverage under their parents' plans, and 9 million Americans have registered for private health insurance or Medicaid, he said.
The president urged listeners to persuade those without health insurance to sign up by March 31, the deadline for obtaining insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
He also told House Republicans not to vote again to repeal the law. "[I]f you have specific plans to cut costs, cover more people, increase choice -- tell America what you'd do differently. Let's see if the numbers add up," Obama said.
The health care law and some of the Obama administration's rules to implement it continue to meet strong resistance for coercive policies regarding abortion funding and religious freedom. In March, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments to determine the constitutionality of the administration's abortion/contraception mandate, which requires employers to pay for abortion-causing drugs for their workers.
Tony Perkins, Family Research Council's president, said after the speech the president "failed to address how his policies undermine religious freedom."
"Employers should not have to choose between violating their consciences or paying severe fines that threaten jobs and could even force them to drop health coverage for their employees," Perkins said in a written statement. "This rule, or mandate, hurts families and women. It's unfair and, thankfully, most Americans oppose it. I hope the President will listen to them."
Obama made only a brief reference to same-sex marriage when he said, "And across the country, we're partnering with mayors, governors and state legislatures on issues from homelessness to marriage equality."
In a blog post after the speech, Ryan Anderson, the Heritage Foundation's expert on marriage and religious liberty, said the federal government "has no business redefining marriage. People (and their elected representatives), not the President or the courts, should make marriage policy in the states. And they should make policy that reflects the truth about marriage as a union of man and woman, husband and wife, so that children have a mother and a father."
The Obama administration "should instruct all agencies of the federal government to respect states' authority over marriage and stop redefining marriage for a variety of federal purposes," Anderson wrote. "And government should not violate the rights of those who stand for marriage as the union of a man and a woman."
Same-sex marriage has gained legalization in 19 states, although challenges to court rulings permitting gay marriage are pending in some cases. Meanwhile, the administration has issued policies to expand federal benefits to same-sex couples since two rulings from the Supreme Court in June.
In one decision, the high court said the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) violated "equal protection" under the Constitution by refusing to recognize gay marriages. The opinion meant same-sex couples gained access to employee, Social Security, tax and other benefits previously limited to heterosexual couples. In the other opinion, the justices ruled on a procedural question that had the effect of allowing to stand a federal judge's invalidation of a California amendment that prohibited same-sex marriage. The court, however, refused to say states cannot limit marriage to a man and a woman.
The religious freedom of some Americans who believe marriage is limited to a man and a woman has suffered in recent months. Photographers, bakers and others who have refused to participate in same-sex ceremonies because of their Christian convictions have lost in court or suffered financially despite their appeals to the right to exercise their religion.
In the Republican response to the State of the Union speech, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington told a personal story that affirmed the sanctity of all human life. Only eight weeks after delivering a third child, Rodgers shared about the first baby for her husband and her.
"Three days after our son was born, Cole, we got news no parent expects. Cole was diagnosed with Down syndrome," said Rodgers, chairman of the House Republican Conference. "The doctors told us he could have endless complications, heart defects, even early Alzheimer's. They told us all the problems.
"But when we looked at our son, we saw only possibilities," she said. "We saw a gift from God. And today we see a 6-year-old boy who dances to Bruce Springsteen; who reads above grade level; and who is the best big brother in the world.
"We see all the things he can do, not those he can't."

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- State leaders are split over the idea of a sales tax increase to help balance Washington's $2.8 billion budget deficit.
State Senate Democrats want to temporarily raise the sales tax by three-tenths of a penny, hike the cigarette tax by $1 per pack and close a long list of tax exemptions to help balance the state budget. But Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire doesn't like that approach. And House Democrats still haven't settled on a tax package.
Legislative leaders are revealing their dueling budget-balancing plans Tuesday in Olympia.
The House version would cut less from state spending, and seek fewer tax hikes than the Senate version. Instead, House Democrats want to rely more heavily on one-time fund transfers and federal money.
The Senate's budget proposal calls for about $920 million in additional tax revenue, including the temporary sales tax increase and more than $500 million in closed tax exemptions.
The tax plan is larger than one proposed last week by Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire but smaller than what many education and social service advocates have been pleading for since the legislative session began.
The budget also would cut about $840 million in spending, including closing or downsizing prisons and facilities for the developmentally disabled.
One-time fixes, such as draining the Rainy Day Fund, would account for about $500 million of the budget-balancing solution. Senators also count on additional bailouts from the federal government, led by roughly $480 million in extra money for the Medicaid program.
Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown, D-Spokane, said Senate Democrats wanted a plan that was "balanced and responsible," particularly after bridging a $9 billion deficit last year without tax hikes.
"There will be further reforms, there will be further reductions in state services, and there will be revenues as well," she said.
As proposed, the sales tax hike would last until 2013. But Senate Democrats also want to include a "working families" tax rebate, intended to take the bite out of a sales tax hike for people on the lower end of the income scale. They also propose a tax business-and-occupation credit for small businesses trying to create jobs during the slow economy.
Among the tax exemptions targeted for elimination is a break on the value of trade-in cars, worth about $92 million for the current budget. Senators also would raise about $24.5 million by dumping a tax exemption for certain out-of-state shoppers and replacing it with a refund program.
Democrats are free to go for revenue hikes after voting to suspend Initiative 960, the Tim Eyman measure that required a two-thirds majority vote for the Legislature to raise taxes. The Senate gave final approval to the I-960 suspension Monday night, with Gregoire expected to sign it into law Wednesday.
Public release of the Senate's budget plan kicks off final negotiations over how to balance the state's books, with House Democrats planning to unveil their version of a balanced budget at midday.
The Legislature is scheduled to adjourn its short, election-year session March 11.
Republican legislators have been firmly against additional taxes to help balance the budget, saying the fragile economic recovery calls for more attempts to reform government spending.
While their minority status affords them little power to affect the final outcome, Republican lawmakers have been energized by the fight over suspending I-960, which they dragged out for several days.
"To me everybody has to suffer some pain, and I don't believe we've done enough," said Rep. Gary Alexander, R-Olympia, the ranking Republican on the House Ways and Means committee.
Rep. Alexander said he would have liked to have seen deeper cuts to health and social services.
Republicans have said the budget should be passed without any tax increases.
"Any general tax that applies directly to the consumer is going to have some type of impact on the economy," said Sen. Joe Zarelli, R-Clark County.

Rain this 4th of July hurt many businesses, especially the food vendors downtown Lexington.
"It has been pretty terrible," Sid Dunn from Dunn's BBQ said.
Dunn said they take the good with the bad in the food vendor business. He said they were able to hand out food samples and hopefully drum up interest for business down the road.
The Dunn Family has been in business for 32 years. He said this 4th of July is one of the worst they've seen in that period.
"We knew it was going to rain before we got here. The weatherman told us all this week. So we could have not showed up, but we just took the chance and took the risk to still be part of the event. And that's what it's all about. Still taking part in events," Dunn said.
While Dunn's BBQ called it quits early, a record number of people went to Gattitown, an indoor entertainment center, on Nicholasville Road in Lexington today.
"We've probably done four times the business this year that we've normally done on 4th of July," said Keith Raines, Gattitown Store Manager.
Raines said they usually close early on this holiday because business is so slow. It's not the case this year – they were going to stay open their full business hours because business was so good.
Fayette Mall Managers in Lexington also said the mall was packed today and far beyond what they normally see on Independence Day.

WASHINGTON • It's a good bet that in the not-so-distant future aerial drones will be part of Americans' everyday lives, performing countless useful functions.
A far cry from the killing machines whose missiles incinerate terrorists, these generally small, unmanned aircraft will help farmers more precisely apply water and pesticides to crops, saving money and reducing environmental impacts. They'll help police departments find missing people, reconstruct traffic accidents and act as lookouts for SWAT teams. They'll alert authorities to people stranded on rooftops by hurricanes and monitor evacuation flows.

Real estate agents will use them to film videos of properties and surrounding neighborhoods. States will use them to inspect bridges, roads and dams. Oil companies will use them to monitor pipelines, while power companies use them to monitor transmission lines.
With military budgets shrinking, drone makers have been counting on the civilian market to spur the industry's growth. But there's an ironic threat to that hope: Success on the battlefield may contain the seeds of trouble for the more benign uses of drones at home.
The civilian unmanned aircraft industry worries that it will be grounded before it can really take off because of fear among the public that the technology will be misused. Also problematic is a delay in the issuance of government safety regulations that are needed before drones can gain broad access to U.S. skies.
Some companies that make drones or supply support equipment and services say the uncertainty has caused them to put U.S. expansion plans on hold, and they are looking overseas for new markets.
"Our lack of success in educating the public about unmanned aircraft is coming back to bite us," said Robert Fitzgerald, CEO of The BOSH Group of Newport News, Va., which provides support services to drone users.
"The U.S. has been at the lead of this technology a long time," he said. "If our government holds back this technology, there's the freedom to move elsewhere ... and all of a sudden these things will be flying everywhere else and competing with us."
Since January, drone-related legislation has been introduced in more than 30 states, largely in response to privacy concerns. Many of the bills are focused on preventing police from using drones for broad public surveillance, as well as targeting individuals for surveillance without sufficient grounds to believe they were involved in crimes.
Law enforcement is expected to be one of the bigger initial markets for civilian drones. Last month, the FBI used drones to maintain continuous surveillance of a bunker in Alabama where a 5-year-old boy was being held hostage.
In Virginia, the state General Assembly passed a bill that would place a two-year moratorium on the use of drones by state and local law enforcement. The measure is supported by groups as varied as the American Civil Liberties Union on the left and the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation on the right.
Gov. Bob McDonnell is proposing amendments that would retain the broad ban on spy drones but allow specific exemptions when lives are in danger, such as for search-and rescue operations. The legislature reconvenes on April 3 to consider the amendments.
"Any legislation that restricts the use of this kind of capability to serve the public is putting the public at risk," said Steve Gitlin, vice president of AeroVironment, a leading maker of smaller drones, including some no bigger than a hummingbird
Seattle abandoned its drone program after community protests in February. The city's police department had purchased two drones through a federal grant without consulting the city council.
Drones "clearly have so much potential for saving lives, and it's a darn shame we're having to go through this right now," said Stephen Ingley, executive director of the Airborne Law Enforcement Association. "It's frustrating."
In some states economic concerns have trumped public unease. In Oklahoma, an anti-drone bill was shelved at the request of Republican Gov. Mary Fallin, who was concerned it might hinder growth of the state's drone industry. The North Dakota state Senate killed a drone bill in part because of concern that it might impede the state's chances of being selected by the Federal Aviation Administration as one of six national drone test sites, which could generate local jobs.
A bill that would have limited the ability of state and local governments to use drones died in the Washington legislature. The measure was opposed by The Boeing Co., which employs more than 80,000 workers in the state and which has a subsidiary, Insitu, that's a leading military drone manufacturer.
Although the Supreme Court has not dealt directly with drones, it has OK'd aerial surveillance without warrants in drug cases in which officers in a plane or helicopter spotted marijuana plants growing on a suspect's property. But in a case involving the use of ground-based equipment, the court said police generally need a warrant before using a thermal imaging device to detect hot spots in a home that might indicate that marijuana plants are being grown there.
In Congress, Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., co-chairman of the House's privacy caucus, has introduced a bill that prohibits the Federal Aviation Administration from issuing drone licenses unless the applicant provides a statement explaining who will operate the drone, where it will be flown, what kind of data will be collected, how the data will be used, whether the information will be sold to third parties and the period for which the information will be retained.
Sentiment for curbing domestic drone use has brought the left and right together perhaps more than any other recent issue. "The thought of government drones buzzing overhead and constantly monitoring the activities of law-abiding citizens runs contrary to the notion of what it means to live in a free society," Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said at a recent hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Privacy advocates acknowledge the many good uses of drones. In Mesa County, Colo., for example, an annual landfill survey using manned aircraft cost about $10,000. The county recently performed the same survey using a drone for about $200.Next Page >
