Steep Rise of Complications in Childbirth Spurs Action
Giving birth has gotten riskier.
Hospitals and public health officials are working to improve safety for mothers in the delivery room following sharp increases in the rate of severe complications from childbirth. Emergencies during delivery, such as cardiac arrest, respiratory distress and kidney failure, increased by 75% in the decade ended 2009, according to a new study by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the days immediately following delivery, severe complications for women more than doubled over the same time period.
Some type of pregnancy or delivery complication occurs during many of the more than four million births annually in the U.S., but most aren't life-threatening. Severe complications affect a total of about 52,000 women a year.
A big reason for the increase is the number of pregnant women who are older, obese, or have chronic conditions such as diabetes and kidney disease that put them at higher risk. But healthy women, too, can experience major complications such as severe bleeding, or hemorrhage, which is the most common cause of death after childbirth. A nearly 60% increase in the rate of Caesarean-section delivery since 1996 is associated with a sharp increase in a condition known as placenta accreta, in which the placenta grows into the uterine wall through a surgical scar, and can cause severe hemorrhage after delivery.
"There is a clarion call now to address the problem of maternal complications," says William Callaghan, chief of the CDC's maternal and child health bureau and lead author of the recent study. "Regardless of age or health, when things go wrong they can go south very fast, and you need a well-oiled team trained to respond in times of crisis."
Many safety-improvement programs in the past have focused on preventing harm to infants. Now, experts are calling for an equal emphasis on the mother. The CDC is funding programs in a number of states to establish guidelines and protocols for improving safety and preventing injury. And obstetrics teams are holding drills to train doctors and nurses to rapidly respond to maternal complications. They are using simulated emergencies that include fake blood, robots that mimic physiologic states, and actresses standing in as patients.
Hospitals are borrowing strategies from the military to train staff in teamwork and care protocols that have been proven to reduce injuries, minimize trauma and avert deaths.
Danielle Dargatz wasn't considered high-risk while pregnant with her fourth child. But the 25-year-old began hemorrhaging in the delivery room after the child, a daughter, was born last April at Aurora West Allis Medical Center, near Milwaukee. After her obstetrician's efforts to stanch the bleeding with medication and other measures failed, hospital staff initiated a massive transfusion protocol, a standardized order to rapidly deliver blood, and called in a surgeon to perform an emergency hysterectomy.
Peter Johnson, the surgeon, says hospital staff participate twice a month in drills to prepare for such emergencies. In the past, the staff might have been running in different directions trying to get blood, find an anesthesiologist, and locate equipment, Dr. Johnson says. Instead, "There was a real sense of calm, rather than all this chaos," he says. "Having these protocols in place makes things function seamlessly, and that will save lives."
Ms. Dargatz says she recalls feeling terrible pain after her delivery. But the next thing she remembers is waking up "surrounded by 50 people" and having her doctor gently tell her about the hysterectomy. "It was not what I would have wanted, but I am grateful to be alive," she says.
More on Making Pregnancies Safer
Obstetrics-related complications account for $17.4 billion in annual U.S. hospital costs, according to the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Complications have recently led to several malpractice payouts of more than $20 million each, and obstetrics can account for 25% or more of a hospital's total for all malpractice claims resolved by payment, according to Premier Inc., a hospital purchasing alliance that operates one of the largest simulation and training programs for obstetrics adverse events.
Premier's Perinatal Safety Initiative has been working with hospitals, including Aurora West, in 12 states since 2006, training medical teams to follow protocols to prevent harm to mother and infant and respond rapidly in a delivery emergency. The training includes a military communication strategy known as SBAR, for situation-background-assessment-recommendation—to quickly get everyone on the team the same information about a patient's condition and the planned response. Since the project's inception, the rate of liability claims filed at participating hospitals has dropped by 39%, says Susan DeVore, Premier's chief executive.
In the case of a hemorrhage, drills include a checklist of steps to prevent bleeding, special carts stocked with all the medication and equipment needed in one place, and sometimes fake blood spilled onto delivery tables to help staffers calculate the amount of loss. Between 2006 and 2010, participating hospitals reduced annual instances of post-delivery hemorrhage by 5.4%, to 28.4 per 1,000 births, Ms. DeVore says.
Texas Health Resources, which operates 25 hospitals, requires doctors at its Dallas facility to participate in simulation drills as a condition of getting credentialed to deliver babies in its delivery rooms. "Doctors understand this is all based on evidence and not someone at corporate telling them what to do," says Marcie Williams, vice president of safety and risk management.
Many of the most common causes of death such as hemorrhage and pulmonary embolism can also take place in the first few days after delivery to seemingly low-risk patients, so it is important that hospitals follow standardized prevention measures, says Mary D'Alton, head of obstetrics and gynecology at New York's Columbia University Medical Center. To prevent blood clots, for example, Columbia gives the blood thinner heparin to all patients after a Caesarean delivery and asks them to get up and walk after 12 hours.
Vivian von Gruenigen, system medical director for women's health services at Summa Health System in Akron, Ohio, advises that pregnant women discuss personal risks with their doctor and ask hospitals what kind of training delivery teams have to respond in an emergency. "People think pregnancy is benign in nature but that isn't always the case, and women need to be their own advocates," Dr. von Gruenigen says.

EAST LIVERPOOL - A city board of education member reiterated his concerns Monday night that the on-going Patterson Field improvement project was not properly bid out.
Member Richard Wolf read from a prepared statement, saying he had asked at the previous meeting to see all the competitive bids for the $1.5 million project and said he was advised there were none.
This, he said, despite the fact that contracts for the architect, general contractor, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and pile driving each exceeded statutory requirements that contracts exceeding $25,000 must be competitively bid.
"I was informed that the (board) could legally circumvent these requirements and instead accept quotes," Wolf said, adding that, when he asked who authorized such action, he was told the district's legal counsel had justified it in a letter.
Wolf claimed he asked to see the letter, Superintendent James Herring produced it but board members denied him access, citing attorney-client confidentiality.
Wolf reminded his fellow board members that circumventing the bidding process is allowed only in the event of "urgent necessity" or for safety and security of the district, neither of which exist in regard to the football field project.
Secondly, he said, attorney-client confidentiality is solely the privilege of the client and legal counsel has no authority to assert such a claim.
Wolf demanded to see and read publicly the letter "so that we might understand what existing statutory justification the attorney relied on to render such an opinion."
He also asked to have made publicly available for examination the performance bonds required for the contracts awarded for the project.
Board members did not comment on Wolf's statements, but when questioned after the meeting, President Janice Martin, member Bob Estell and Herring each said Wolf was invited to read the attorney's letter but he was told he could not make a copy.
They also said competitive bids were, in fact, sought for the Patterson project.
Also Monday, the board agreed to a Family and Medical Leave placement for Mark Reed, director of buildings and grounds, for the remainder of the year, although he may or may not actually take days off.
It was explained that the action was necessary to make it possible for Reed to be off if he needs to be, but Herring said Reed plans on being on the job each morning.
Wolf said his is a vital position and asked who will take Reed's place when he's off. He was advised maintenance supervisor Tim Fultz.
In other action, the board:
- Authorized the purchase a new 72-passenger bus for $85,416 from Truck Sales and Service, Midvale, which was bid through the purchasing consortium.
- Approved after the fact the hiring of assistant varsity football coach Richard Davis, with Herring saying approval of his contract may have been an oversight in August when administrative changes were taking place in the district
- Approved Samantha Cianni as assistant varsity softball coach
- Canceled its regular meeting of Dec. 24 and rescheduled it for Jan. 7, immediately following a reorganization meeting at 6 p.m. that day.

BMS Ph.D. student Kristeena Ray was awarded The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) Graduate Minority Travel Award, which is funded through a grant to the Federation of American Societies. Kristeena will travel to Boston, Massachusetts in April to present her research on the possible role of epigenetics in endometriosis at the 2013 Experimental Biology Conference.
Dr. Nalini Santanam, Kristeena's mentor, stated, "Not much is known about the etiology of endometriosis. There are recent indications that epigenetics might be playing a role in its etiology. Kristeena's project will, in the long-term, identify epigenetic markers that can be used as therapeutic targets for the treatment of endometriosis and/or its associated symptoms such as pain."
Ray is the second BMS student to be notified of receiving a travel award to attend this international research conference. Dr. Santanam is pleased that Kristeena is one of the students selected for the ASBMB travel award and said that this opportunity will allow Kristeena to "meet peers from around the country, as well as listen and interact with expert scientists in basic and biomedical sciences."
Congratulations, Kristeena!

CHARLESTON, S.C. (Reuters) - Archeologists expect to recover personal belongings of crewmen from the H.L. Hunley, the Confederate Civil War vessel that became the first submarine to sink an enemy ship in battle, when excavation resumes in October, officials said on Thursday.
X-rays of solidified sediment in the cramped 43-foot-long vessel revealed a glass medicine bottle and two tin canteens lying under a wooden bench, where archeologists also expect to find canvas bags containing personal items stowed there by the crew.
``Soldiers of that time wore haversacks and canvas bags on a sling in which they carried their personal possessions like diaries, pictures, and utensils. The odds are that this would be the area where they would have stored these bags,'' state Sen. Glenn McConnell, chairman of the Hunley Commission, said.
The steel-hulled Hunley, with a crew of nine on board, sank on Feb. 17, 1864, shortly after plunging a spar loaded with explosives into the wooden hull of the USS Housatonic, part of a Union blockade of the port of Charleston.
The submarine was recovered last August and taken to a custom-built laboratory in Charleston, where archeologists have worked to remove artifacts and remains from sediment that filled the vessel's interior as it lay on the sea floor.
Before suspending excavation work for the summer, archeologists removed remains of the nine crew members, along with artifacts that included a gold coin carried by the captain and a lantern used to signal that the submarine was returning to shore before it sank mysteriously.
When excavation resumes in October, archeologists will resume their search both for artifacts and answers to the mystery of why the submarine sank.
``The excavation in the fall will be comparable to reading a good mystery book with each day being a new page revealing more about the characters and uncovering more of the clues to solving the mystery of what happened on the final voyage,'' McConnell said in a statement issued by the Friends of the Hunley, a nonprofit group underwriting the excavation and conservation work.

Officers with the Philippi Police Department have packed their boxes and are on the move from the old police station to the new one situated in the Hu Myers Center on South Main Street.
The moving process began at 8 a.m. Thursday and will continue throughout the day today. Officers had assistance from Philippi Mayor Jerry Mouser, the Philippi Task Force and individuals with the Barbour County Community Corrections program.
Mouser, the officers and Police Chief Jeff Walters seem to agree that the new location will have its benefits to the community and the police department.

Philippi Police Department officials launch a two-day moving process to the department's new home at the Hu Myers Center in Philippi. Sgt. Scott Gillis, left, and Police Chief Jeff Walters assist with the move Thursday. They also received help from the Philippi Task Force, Mayor Jerry Mouser and Barbour County Community Corrections.
"I think it's going to be more accessible for the community," Patrolmen S. A. Miller said. "It's going to be a more professional environment. It's going to be good all around."
The old police department on Church Street may have the outward appearance of a home, but it hasn't always felt that way for officers or their interviewees. Walters welcomes the idea of a new home for the police department. He said he is looking forward to having a new building.
"It will be a much nicer facility," Walters said. "It'll be more private if people want to come in to talk to the police. It's just a much more professional working environment. I spend 70-80 percent of my time in the office. It will be more efficient."
The new location has a larger parking area and will feature two outside telephones, one at the front and one at the back of the building. The phones will automatically dial the police department when they are picked up. If an officer is not present to answer the phone, it will automatically transfer to the Barbour County Communications Center, Mouser said.
For other calls, citizens will not have to worry about what number to dial because the police department will retain its current telephone number.
"I consider this kind of a new beginning for the police department," Mouser said, adding that the department has recently welcomed a new police chief and sergeant. "We hope to increase the size of the police department."
Officers also have recently welcomed new sidearms, a couple of Tasers, new shotguns and two new police cruisers with cages separating the backseat passengers from the officers for safety, Mouser said, adding that he hopes to equip other cruisers with cages.
Although Thursday is recognized by Philippi officials as the starting day of the two-day move, the Philippi Police Department already got a head start on moving sensitive information.
Sensitive information, such as evidence found at the scene of crimes, already have been moved to and secured at the new location by police officers.
Mouser said that the new evidence room has already been completed. He said there are still a number of tasks to be finished even after the move is complete.
"We still have a few odds and ends to be done there," Mouser said.
There will be two signs identifying the location as the Philippi Police Department, one at the front and the other at the back of the building. Mouser said he hopes to have cameras installed at the front and back of the building, get new ballistic vests for the officers and fence in a couple of parking spaces for larger evidence like vehicles, bicycles or for traffic cones that may help with the police department's goal of becoming the best small city department in West Virginia.
Mouser said there will be a community block party in celebration of the recent changes. The event has not yet been scheduled, but is in the planning stages. He said that the Governor's Highway Safety Program donated 15 bicycle helmets to be given to children. He said that City Manager Karen Weaver has ordered safety kits for the kids as well.
This celebration will feature activities such as a bike rodeo for kids, Mouser said. The Family Resource Network will participate in the event. Hot dogs will be made by Jerry Davis, who owns his own hot dog stand.

"Wow, what a night so far!" Randy Jackson shouted near the top of Wednesday's American Idol episode. "Who'd a thunk it?"
He was right. After several weeks of uneven performances, the contestants collectively brought their strongest showings in weeks for the two-hour show.
For the first half, the remaining six performed the music of Queen, whose members kicked off the night with an explosive medley of hits, including – fittingly for the unpredictable competition – "Another One Bites the Dust."
Jessica Sanchez, who earned the only judges' save, was back in top form, nailing "Bohemian Rhapsody" and turning out an emotional performance of Luther Vandross's "Dance With My Father," which she dedicated to her own military dad.
"You're so natural," Randy Jackson said. "You know what was wrong with it? Absolutely nothing!"
Joshua Ledet also dominated with killer covers of Queen's rockabilly-tinged "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and India.Arie's sultry ballad "Ready for Love," earning yet another standing ovation from the judges.
"Joshua's part of the show is my favorite part," Jennifer Lopez said. Steven Tyler had more enthusiastic praise: "I smell the finish line for you, my friend."
Skylar Laine and Elise Testone also delivered strong performances – shout out to Testone for her risky choice of the relatively obscure "Axis: Bold As Love" by Jimi Hendrix – but Hollie Cavanagh and Phillip Phillips were the only two to have missteps.
Lopez worried that Phillips's choice of the Dave Matthews Band rarity "The Stone" would jeopardize his chances. And Cavanagh's performance of Queen's "Save Me" didn't resonate with the entire panel.
"I just feel like I want to see you enjoy it more," Lopez told Cavanagh. "I want to see you smile for real. I want to see you get upset for real ... I still feel like you're thinking [too much]."
Despite Cavanagh's slip-up, she bounced back in the second round with a soaring take on Miley Cyrus's "The Cimb." "That's the Hollie we love!" Jackson shouted. "Hollie's back!"
The contestants were great but Tyler got big laughs when he poked fun at Lopez about her most famous physical asset. After Phillips's cover of Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls," he said, "You know what they say, the bigger the cushion ..."
Lopez shot back: "Why are you looking at me?"
"'Cus you were looking at me," Tyler retorted. "Don't you start with me now!"

Fishing shows are not the normal fare when a group of girls get together for brunch. But that's exactly what sisters Bea and Emily Girndt of Mount Pleasant and some of their friends will be doing Saturday morning.
Local sisters fish on Bass 2 Billfish
ON TVWhat: Bass 2 Billfish ShowWho: Sisters Bea and Emily Girndt of Mount PleasantWhen: 9:30 a.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Wednesday on NBC Sports Network.
Bea and Emily are this week's guest stars on Bass 2 Billfish, a show that focuses on the variety of fishing found in Florida. The program airs at 9:30 a.m. Saturday on the NBC Sports Network (formerly Versus), and again at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
With Tropical Storm Sandy buffeting South Florida with high winds and rain, Bea and Emily caught peacock bass, largemouth bass, jack crevalles and even jumped a few tarpon during the late-October filming. They also visited the big Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, toured the International Game Fish Association museum and cashed in $250 gift certificates at Bass Pro Shops in Fort Lauderdale.
"It was definitely the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we stepped off the plane to the moment we got back on the plane, every second of it was a dream," said Bea Girndt. "It was a great experience to be able to share with my sister. We had an awesome time in Florida."
The sisters, originally from Columbia, did not grow up fishing but learned to love the sport after moving to Charleston six years ago. Bea, 23, who now works for an environmental non-profit, got hooked while she was attending the College of Charleston and working at the Isle of Palms Marina.
"I would hear her stories and how she would catch rides on all these boats. It got me really interested and I started fishing from shore when I could," said Emily, 27, a kindergarten teacher at Devon Forest Elementary School in Goose Creek.
They watched Saturday morning fishing shows and became hooked on Bass 2 Billfish, which airs from January through June. Last year, with help from some of their friends, they put together an audition video that earned them a call from Peter Miller, the host of the show.
"They were so energetic. They fed off each other. It's the first time we've had sisters on the show," said Miller, a three-time World Sailfish Champion.
The first day of fishing focused on tarpon and jacks with Capt. Jeff Maggio of Lunkerdog.com fishing. They jumped three or four tarpon, caught nice jack crevalle and barracuda. The second day was land-based fishing for peacock bass and largemouth bass in community ponds with guide Adam Rizzi. Bea said they caught between 35 and 40 peacock bass in just over an hour.
"Their personalities really made the show succeed," Miller said. "They kept my spirits up and the crew's spirits up. The harder the wind blew, the more rain we had, the more they wanted to fish. They really helped me hold it together because I was losing my mind."

Store Profile: The Meadow
- Location: multiple locations and online

interview with Mark Bitterman a few months ago, where he explained the simple truths of salt and let us taste several varieties in his beautiful store. Today we're back to give you a peek into this delightful shop. It carries all of Mark's essentials. Find out what this bon vivant considers the necessities of life. Hint: these items are not on the USDA food pyramid.
Mark Bitterman, owner of the Meadow and author of Salt, considers salt, wine, chocolate and flowers the essentials in life, that's why he sells these items at his store. Walking into this gem of a shop, on Mississippi Ave in NE Portland, is like being transported into a sensoral vortex. Once you're in there, it's hard to leave. The salts are unexpected and very pungent, flavored with things like cacao, lemon and Japanese plums. Then there's the bright bunches of flowers giving off a heady perfume. Finally, it's the chocolate bars and wine bottles, their packaging and promise of what's inside, that dazzle me into a headspin. This shop is fantastic for gifts, and you may end up with a few purchases for yourself. Oh hello lavender bitters, I must have you!
Speaking of bitters, the Meadow also carries a very broad selection of the delicious (and somewhat mysterious) beverage tonics. It is here that I purchased orange bitters, now a trusty addition to any type of gin cocktail, my favorite being an old-fashioned swizzle. I make this classic drink with gin, lime, sugar and a dash of the orange bitters.
If it's chocolate that you desire, The Meadow has you covered. The shop carries bars, truffles, and all manor of cocoa confections from near and far. French bars mingle with local caramels, next door to cacao nibs from Venezuela right by salted chocolates The Meadow whips up. There's a great variety, and the artfully designed labels will be sure to seduce and entice. Watch out!
Chocolates, wines, flowers and bitters aside, the biggest reason to visit this charmed shop is for the salt. With a true schmorgasboard of unique finishing, artisan, cooking, brining and curing salts, one really can get lost in the magnitude of options. Luckily, there's tasters for each type and helpful staff to guide you through. For me, it was helpful to have a shopgal give me the lowdown, then point out her favorites. This was a great starting point, and now that I've established a few favorites of my own, I'm able to add to my repetoire with each visit. I'm lucky to live within walking distance of this remarkable place. If you are making a visit to Portland, put this sensory experience on your list.
The Meadow has recently opened up a New York City sister shop, located on the West Side, almost at the edge of the Hudson River. Have you been to the shop in New York City? Or the original location in Portland? Did you fall in love with the place? • Visit The Meadow online: The Meadow Related: Selmilier Mark Bitterman: 5 Simple Truths About Salt (Images: Leela Cyd Ross)

was soulful enough for R&B audiences, but smooth enough for adult contemporary; sophisticated enough for adults, but sultry enough for younger listeners; strong enough in the face of heartbreak to appeal to women, but ravishing enough to nab the fellas. Wielding such broad appeal,
managed to score not one, but
albums that sold over eight million copies; naturally, they were accompanied by a long string of hit singles on the pop and R&B charts, one of which -- "Un-break My Heart" -- ranks among the longest-running number one pop hits of the rock era.
was born in Severn, Maryland, on October 7, 1968. The daughter of a minister, she was raised mostly in the strict Apostolic faith, which prohibited not only all popular culture, but also pants in women's wardrobes. Encouraged by their mother, an operatically trained vocalist,
and her four sisters began singing in church as girls; although gospel was the only music permitted in the household, the girls often watched
Soul Train
when their parents went shopping.
's parents later converted to a different faith, and eased their restrictions on secular music somewhat, allowing
more leeway to develop her vocal style; because of her husky voice, she often used male singers like
Luther Vandross
Stevie Wonder
, and
Michael McDonald
as models, as well as
Chaka Khan
had some success on the local talent show circuit, continuing to sing with her sisters, and after high school studied to become a music teacher. However,
soon dropped out of college after she was discovered singing to herself at a gas station by songwriter
Bill Pettaway
(who co-authored
Milli Vanilli
's "Girl You Know It's True"). With
's help,
and her sisters signed with Arista Records in 1990 as a group dubbed simply
the Braxtons
The Braxtons released a single in 1990 called "The Good Life," and while it wasn't a hit, it caught the attention of
L.A. Reid
, the red-hot songwriting/production team who had just formed their own label, LaFace (which was associated with Arista).
became the first female artist signed to LaFace in 1991, and the following year she was introduced to the listening public with a high-profile appearance on the soundtrack of Eddie Murphy's Boomerang. Not only did her solo cut "Love Shoulda Brought You Home" become a substantial pop and R&B hit, but she also duetted with
himself on "Give U My Heart." Anticipation for
's first album ran high, and when her eponymous solo debut was released in 1993, it was an across-the-board smash, climbing to number one on both the pop and R&B charts. It spun off hit after hit, including three more Top Ten singles in "Another Sad Love Song," "Breathe Again," and "You Mean the World to Me," plus the double-sided R&B hit "I Belong to You"/"How Many Ways." With eventual sales of over eight million copies,
Toni Braxton
's run of popularity lasted well into 1995. By that time,
had scored Grammys for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B Vocal ("Another Sad Love Song") in 1994, and tacked on another win in the latter category for "Breathe Again" in 1995.
To tide fans over until her next album was released,
contributed "Let It Flow" to the
Whitney Houston
-centered soundtrack of Waiting to Exhale in 1995. Again working heavily with
L.A. Reid
released her second album,
, in the summer of 1996, and predictably, it was another enormous hit. The first single, "You're Makin' Me High," was
's most overtly sexual yet, and it became her biggest pop hit to date; however, its success was soon eclipsed by the follow-up single, the
Diane Warren
-penned ballad "Un-break My Heart." "Un-break My Heart" was an inescapable juggernaut, spending an amazing 11 weeks on top of the pop charts (and even longer on the adult contemporary charts). Further singles "I Don't Want To" and "How Could an Angel Break My Heart" weren't quite as successful (not that that's an indictment), but that didn't really matter; by then
was well on its way to becoming
's second straight eight-million seller. In 1997, she picked up Grammy awards for Best Female Pop Vocal and Best Female R&B Vocal (for "Un-break My Heart" and "You're Makin' Me High," respectively).
Toward the end of 1997,
filed a lawsuit against LaFace Records, attempting to gain release from a contract she felt was no longer fair or commensurate with her status. When LaFace countersued,
filed for bankruptcy, a move that shocked many fans (who wondered how that could be possible, given her massive sales figures) but actually afforded her protection from further legal action.
spent most of 1998 in legal limbo, and passed the time by signing on to portray Belle in the Broadway production of Disney's
Beauty and the Beast
(a role originally held by erstwhile teen queen
Deborah Gibson
and LaFace finally reached a settlement in early 1999, and the singer soon began work on her third album.
The Heat
was released in the spring of 2000, and entered the charts at number two, matching the highest position held by
. Lead single "He Wasn't Man Enough" was a Top Ten hit (and an R&B chart-topper), although the follow-ups "Just Be a Man About It" (a duet with
Dr. Dre
) and "Spanish Guitar" didn't sustain the album's momentum as well as one might have expected. A brisk seller out of the box,
The Heat
eventually cooled off around the two-million mark, a disappointing showing compared to her previous efforts, despite yet another Grammy win for Best Female R&B Vocal ("He Wasn't Man Enough").
appeared in the VH1 movie
in early 2002, and recorded
More Than a Woman
for release later that year. The singles "Please" and "That's the Way Love Works (Trippin')" announced
's 2005 return with the full-length
, her first and only album recorded for the Blackground label. Initially a commercial disappointment, the album was re-released a year later when "The Time of Our Lives" -- a collaboration with the vocal group
Il Divo
-- became the official 2006 FIFA World Cup anthem. That same year the singer replaced
Wayne Newton
as the main performer at the Flamingo Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Her show,
Toni Braxton: Revealed
, would run until April of 2008 when she joined the cast of the competitive reality show
Dancing with the Stars
. After lasting five weeks before being voted off the show,
announced she would be signing with the Atlantic label.
was issued in 2010, cracked the Top Ten in the U.S., and was a respectable minor hit in several other countries.
then further boosted her comeback profile by participating in another reality TV series,
Braxton Family Values
, which focused on her relationship with her mother and four sisters. In late 2013 she teamed up once again with
to record the duets album Love, Marriage & Divorce. Motown released the album in February 2014.

Healing Asian Soup with Ginger
(Makes 4 small servings, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from several Asian cookbooks.)
4 cups homemade chicken stock (canned low-sodium chicken broth would work too)
3-4 thick slices fresh ginger root
1 cup sliced mushrooms (any type, but I used mild white mushrooms which seem more soothing for the tummy)
1 cup spinach leaves, sliced into thin ribbons
1 green onion, very thinly sliced
While ginger simmers in stock, wash and slice mushrooms and thinly slice spinach leaves. Clean green onion and slice into very thin slices. Bring infused stock back to a low simmer, then add mushrooms and simmer 1 minute. Add sliced spinach and simmer one minute more. Turn off heat and add green onions, then serve soup hot, with chopsticks to eat the veggies after you drink the broth.

Milton High is shit. Writing this as a Freshman in October, I know the school. They are sluts who feck the fagget druggies on Friday nights. If you walk ten feet into the woods outside the school, chances are you'll find an old dirty couch and broken glass from beer bottles mixed with the dirt. Don't forget about the weed! Oh yes my friend, the big bathroom stall on every floor is the schools ashtray. There's permanent black smears all over it. What else... people come hammered to the Friday night football games. There's a couple pregnant junior/seniors. Anyway the teachers are pretty strict but that's inside the school.

After begging model Piper Kennedy for her number in Starbucks, "Singer/Song Writer/Designer/Photographer/Producer" (according to his Twitter, @sirBRODAG) Brody Ryan sent her the below awkward video where he's smiling and sort of massaging his face (to Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home").
Kennedy sent it to friends who posted it on the Internet, and #StarbucksDrakeHands was born, with copycats (and actual cats) imitating his creepy, face-touching video. Scroll down for more randomness from this week:

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
The bioinformatics tools offered by Denmark's CLC Bio are like "a Swiss Army knife for genomic data analysis," says Thomas Knudsen, CEO. The company develops and markets software for the analysis of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data and says its bioinformatics algorithms are wrapped in a user-friendly graphical interface.
Brothers Bjarne Knudsen, Ph.D., and Thomas Knudsen started CLC Bio in 2005 by offering a free software program known as CLC Sequence Viewer. Dr. Knudsen, a bioinformatics expert, created the technical aspects of the software, while Thomas Knudsen serves as CEO.
The Sequence Viewer software remains free and can be downloaded from the company's website. In the first year, 100,000 downloads occurred, and by 2008, the number of downloads passed one million. When first launched, the software was "a powerful and intuitive way to show people how to do bioinformatics," says Thomas Knudsen. Although designed for first-generation sequence data, he believes that the software makes a good teaching tool for students in molecular biology.
In 2007, the company switched its focus to the analysis of next-generation sequencing data. The CLC Genomics Workbench, released in 2008, analyzes data from second-generation HTS instruments. Whereas first-generation sequencing machines typically generate 0.1 megabases of data per run, second-generation instruments can spew out up to 40,000 megabases in a single run, explains Knudsen. In fact, the amount of genomic sequencing data increases 10-fold every 18 months. "So there's a critical demand for solutions that are really adept at handling and analyzing these huge amounts of data," he says.
The CLC Genomics Workbench is a comprehensive package that analyzes and visualizes data from all major next-generation HTS platforms, such as SOLiD by Applied Biosystems, 454 GSflx by Roche, and Solexa by Illumina. When first launched, "no other companies were doing this," says Knudsen. "We had a head start in the market, making us a premiere solution provider."
Users of CLC Bio's software are not locked into a single platform, but can use any or all HTS machines. Because different sequencing instruments offer different advantages, it makes sense to mix datasets into hybrid assemblies, Knudsen notes. This overlying strategy extends to software in development to handle the hundreds of thousands of reads generated by upcoming third-generation sequencers. "A key to our success is that our customers can mix data, and that will continue with new platforms," he says.
Early in 2010, the company released version 2.0 of the CLC Genomics Server, an enterprise platform for next-generation sequencing data analysis. CLC Bio describes the Genomics Server a bioinformatics solution built on a three-tier server architecture. The company says that the server provides flexible options for executing centralized services, easy integration with other applications and services, powerful database communication and data integration, and a secure access control framework and central-action logging.
Version 2.0 of the CLC Genomics Server includes a wider range of features for handling HTS data, says Knudsen. He notes some key improvements to this version, including capabilities for parallel job executions on multiple computers through multiple job nodes, integration of third-party command-line tools and algorithms, support for file sharing and data management, and additional HTS analyses such as digital gene expression for RNA sequencing, SNP and DIP detection, and ChIP-seq analysis.

Officers in Barbour County arrested two men on 10 felony counts each of breaking and entering, and another man on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm this week.
James C. Wellman, 18, and Matthew L. Ball, 20, both of 112 Locust Avenue, Philippi, were arrested by Philippi Police Chief J.W. Walters on 10 counts each of breaking and entering for allegedly breaking into storage units at Turtle Town Storage on Beech Avenue in Philippi around Nov. 26. Their preliminary hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. Tuesday.
Wellman was arrested Jan. 21 and released Jan. 22 on a $500 recognizance bond for each felony count.
He will be represented by Megan Allender of Kingwood at his preliminary hearing. Ball was arrested Jan. 19 and released Jan. 22 on a $500 recognizance bond for each felony count. Roger Curry of Fairmont will represent Ball at his preliminary hearing.
In an unrelated case, Junior Police Chief Carlton "Jody" Haller arrested Donald Ray Watson, 30, P.O. Box 383, Junior, on Jan. 20 for the felony offense of being a felon with possession of a firearm.
His cash/surety bond is set at $5,000. Watson will be represented by Justina Helmick of Philippi. His preliminary hearing has been scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday.
According to the complaint, Haller met with Bryan Thompson, a probation officer in Randolph County, and then traveled together to Watson's residence for a home inspection. They were invited into the residence by another individual. The complaint stated that Thompson went downstairs into Watson's room where he discovered a black gun case. Thompson opened the case and found a 30-30 Salvage single-shot with a scope camo stock inside. He also found a black bow case with a Martin compound bow and some arrows elsewhere in the room.
The complaint stated that Thompson discovered a black gun cabinet in the upstairs dining room. Watson's father, Danny Watson, was present and was asked if there were any guns located inside the cabinet. He allegedly said there was. Thompson asked Danny Watson to open the cabinet where he then found multiple firearms.
Haller then removed the guns and the bow from the residence at 418 River Ave. Danny Watson signed an inventory sheet for the guns that were removed after Haller discovered that Donald Ray Watson is a convicted felon.

He's won a lot of bouts in his wrestling career, especially the last two seasons, but Moshannon Valley's Jake Ludwig will be all about overcoming losses from last year when he begins the postseason trail at the District 6 Class AA Tournament on Friday.
The first loss that came under the most glare was in the 220-pound district finals, where he was pinned in the first period by Richland's eventual three-time state champion John Rizzo.
Ludwig laughs that one off and says "He's tough, and he's just strong."
Article Photos
Mirror photo by?Todd Irwin
Moshannon Valley's Jake Ludwig works out with teammate James Stodart at a recent practice.
But it was the last loss that was the hardest to take. Ludwig, after a quarterfinal loss at the Southwest Regional Tournament, battled all the way back to the consolation semifinals.
He needed one more win to qualify for the PIAA Championships and join his brother, 182-pound fifth-placer Dylan, and 195-pound third-placer James Stodart as a qualifier, but a 5-2 loss to Bedford's Jacob Krupa put him in the fifth-place finals, and an 8-6 loss to West Greene's Cody Jacobs ended his season.
"I was disappointed," Ludwig said before a practice last week. "I wish I could have made it. It sucks losing, but it's still an accomplishment to be [at regionals], I guess. There's a lot of good kids there, but you've just got to wrestle well though.
Fact Box
Ludwig file
n Finished second at the District 6 Tournament and sixth at the Northwest Regional last year.
n He's 23-3 with 16 pins.
n Has a career record of 78-44 in four years, and he's 52-8 the last two years.
"It just made me want to work harder for this year. My brother and James made it last year, and I didn't get to wrestle down there. Watching it down there made me realize I should have been down there."
Mo Valley coach Justin Fye took Jake on the Hershey trip anyway. It's common for coaches to bring wrestlers who just missed going to see what it's like and reward their hard work.
"We wanted him to get the experience with that," Fye said, "because we figured there's a good chance he might make it down this year. I know he was heartbroken when he didn't win. You can't get much closer than what he did."
Despite the tough break, Ludwig is having a pretty good season. He's 23-3 with 16 pins at 220, and he just won his weight class at the Richard Smoker Tournament in Selinsgrove on Saturday. He had two early-season losses to Altoona's Mante Barnes and West Branch's Buzzy Maines, and he lost to Cambria Heights' Aaron Gill when he moved up to 285.
"At the beginning of the year, he was working hard right off the bat," Fye said. "Then he lost two matches within a week, and he took it pretty hard because he knew what was expected of him. We sat down with him and said 'You know what, just go out and wrestle.' That's what got him where he was last year.
"He's been doing an excellent job. He's been working extremely hard in the room. We've talked about having no regrets, and he's been putting a lot of extra time in the room. He's been getting guys to run some extra sprints in the hallways within the last week. He knows what he has to do. I don't have to tell him. I think he's starting to wrestle really good."
Even when he does lose, you get the feeling that it doesn't keep him down for long. He says he always has something smart to say to everybody, including to Fye.
"I say to Coach Fye 'Good one dude,' " Ludwig said.
"He gets guys pumped in the wrestling room, and he jokes around with coaches," Fye said, "because coaches get excited too. Sometimes he'll come up and say 'Coach, relax, calm down a little bit.'"
Ludwig has qualified for a state tournament, advancing to the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling Championships as a fourth-grader. Of course, he was a lot smaller then. Heck, he's a lot bigger than he was when he came up to the high school team as a freshman.
He wrestled at 130 as a freshman, going 14-21, 152 as a sophomore, going 12-15, and then 220 the last two seasons. Ludwig looks for the upper body throws, but he'll switch to a leg shot if that's not there, like he did before pinning Claysburg-Kimmel's Tyler Elder in a dual meet last week.
"The one thing that's nice with Jake is he's used to wrestling like a middleweight," Fye said. "He's not afraid to shoot on a guy. He likes to go upperbody. If it's there, he's going to throw you, but if not, he's going to go out and wrestle you and make you not want to wrestle on your feet against him."
What has been helping Ludwig get ready for the postseason is drilling with district champion Stodart in the wrestling room. Mo Valley hasn't had multiple district champions in the same season since the 1989 team produced three.
"It helps me out a lot because somebody good like that makes you better every day," Ludwig said of having Stodart as a workout partner. "We go hard at it all the time in practice. It's like an even match the whole time."
Ludwig says he's really looking forward to the district tournament, which begins Friday at the Altoona Fieldhouse.
"I'm pretty excited," he said. "I want to get some revenge with the losses I had and be a district champ. I've wanted to be a district champ since I lost last year in districts to Rizzo. I've been waiting to be first in districts my whole life."
"I expect him to do nothing less than win it," Fye said. "If he keeps working hard and doing really well, good things will happen for him. I expect him to be on top of the podium."

When the Bedford Fairgrounds Speedway celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2011, a huge question hung over the historic track. The then-race promoter had just announced his departure, and the future of racing in Bedford was very much in jeopardy.
Enter Joe Padula III.
The Hagerstown, Md. native literally grew up at the Bedford Speedway in the 80s and 90s, following his father and race promoter, Joe Padula Jr. around the track from the time he was three years old into his teens. So when presented with the opportunity to take over racing in Bedford, Padula felt like he was coming home.
"Bedford has always had a special place in my heart," he said. "This race track is a beautiful facility and the history is phenomenal. When they were having trouble, I didn't want to see it close, and I thought I could bring something positive to the table."
What Padula brought to Bedford was a fresh enthusiasm and a new philosophy that has been embraced by both racers and fans. Instead of focusing on expensive, national series, Bedford Speedway now showcases more local and regional racing, making it more affordable for race teams to enter one of the five divisions each Friday night, and more affordable for fans, especially families to attend.
"We want to make an investment in the guys who live within an hour-and-a-half of the track," said Padula. "It's a big change, but it's better for them, and better for me."
The 2013 schedule includes 25 events, focusing on the Friday night shows, many with special family-friendly themes. Holiday weekends bring extra laps and extra money, and there are a few special events on the docket, like a pair of sprint car races and vintage nights, featuring classic, restored race cars.
But perhaps the most important change Padula has brought to the track is his infectious love of the speedway and the sport.
"I had the best childhood ever," he said, recalling the times spent on the flagstand, in the pits and the grandstands with his father, taking in the excitement and learning the ropes.
Today, the roles are reversed; his dad comes to the race track every week to relax and watch the races, enjoying his retirement and his son's success.
"I find myself doing and saying things that he would have done in 1996," said Padula III. "His attitude and way of doing things, I don't need a lot of original ideas, because what he did worked."
Sports of all kinds are passed from generation to generation, father to son. With a family legacy of commitment to the Bedford Speedway, Joe Padula III works to grow the facility's future while preserving the history of the storied track, where many generations of fathers and sons have shared racing moments and memories.
"I think this place is the Yankee Stadium of motorsports," he said. "Being here and riding around on the same dirt as guys from 50 years ago who also raced at Indy it's the coolest thing in the world to me."

LOCKPORT – A North Tonawanda mother of four admitted Thursday in Niagara County Court that she drove under the influence of alcohol in that city March 2, while all four of her children were in the car.
Michelle A. Lorenc, 46, of Wall Street, pleaded guilty to impaired driving and endangering the welfare of a child, and was scheduled for sentencing Feb. 15 by County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas.
The children are now 9, 10, 13 and 16 years old, Lorenc said in court. She was originally charged with felony driving while intoxicated under Leandra's Law, but the case was pleaded down to a misdemeanor and a traffic infraction.

Ah, Jarrettsville. Possibly the shittiest place on earth. The entire place is full of white trash inbred hicks. The hardcore white trash kids hang out at the local 7-11 all the time. This includes weeknights and weekends. Tuesday nights even, trash can be seen scattered around the 7-11 parking lot. There happens to be one particular trash pit, located off of good old Morse road. This area, known to locals as "The Hood" is a deceiving neighborhood. Under the surface it is really Jarrettsvilles finest. It contains elements native only to Jarrettsville. Some of which include an actual lock on some powerlines thrown there by some kids, a working lightswitch on a streetlight, and some kid and a funny Geo Metro. This certain Geo can be seen cruising around the hood 24/7, crashing through things and breaking stop signs throughout Jarrettsville.
Man, Jarrettsville is such a shitty place.
-Yeah, I couldnt never agree more.
Have you seen "The Hood" recently?
-Yeah, some annoying little shits broke the stop sign in it.
Man, Jarrettsville sucks.

After one of your limbs is amputated, you may feel as if the limb is still there. This is called phantom sensation. It may feel:
These sensations slowly get weaker and weaker. You should also feel them less often. They may not ever go away completely.
Pain in the missing part of the arm or leg is called phantom pain. It may feel like:
Phantom limb pain will lessen over time for most people.
Some things may make phantom pain worse, such as:
Try to relax in a way that works for you. Do deep breathing or pretend to relax the missing arm or leg.
Reading, listening to music, or doing something that takes your mind off the pain may help. You may also try taking a warm bath if your surgery wound is completely healed.
Ask your doctor if you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), or other drugs that help with pain.
These following may also help lessen phantom pain.

Senior Adam Pegg was named College Sports Madness Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week for his performances against ETSU and USC Upstate, as announced by the online publication on Monday.
Pegg led the Hatters in scoring during both the win at ETSU and the victory at USC Upstate. The center totaled 17 points on 8-of-10 shooting in a 72-70 win over the Bucs, and poured in a season-high 25 points and grabbed six rebounds in a 66-64 victory against the Spartans to move Stetson into a tie for first place in the A-Sun with a record of 4-2.
The senior scored in double figures for the 11th and 12th straight games, now giving Pegg double digit points in 15 out of 16 contests played this season. For the week, he averaged 21 points on nearly 70 percent shooting (18-of-26), 80 percent shooting from beyond the arc (4-of-5), and a perfect 2-of-2 from the free throw line.
During A-Sun action, Pegg is third in the league with an average of 18.0 points per game, while shooting 57 percent from the floor and 54 percent from three-point range. Pegg and the Hatters continue league play at home this weekend with games against Northern Kentucky on Thursday and Lipscomb on ESPN3 on Saturday.

One thing that Charles "Charlie" Seiler truly enjoyed was hopping onto his Harley-Davidson for a long motorcycle ride.
But the ride he took Sunday morning – on a friend's motorcycle – proved to be his last.
Seiler, 44, of Amherst, was killed at about 10:30 a.m. when he lost control of the Harley he was driving on the curved ramp connecting the Niagara Thruway with the Youngmann Highway in the Town of Tonawanda, town police said.
Authorities said the motorcycle struck a van on the ramp before crashing and leaving Seiler with multiple injuries. He died at the scene. The driver of the van and a passenger in the van were not hurt.
While police were releasing little information, a friend who has known Seiler since childhood said Seiler was doing a favor for another friend when he was killed.
"Charlie was not driving his own bike. … It was his friend's bike, and he was going to drop it off somewhere for his friend," said Travis Hengerer, 44, of Amherst.
"Charlie was a good guy, a good dude. A lot of people are going to be very heartbroken over this."
Hengerer said Seiler has been his close friend since they were both 10 years old. He said Seiler was a graduate of Williamsville South High School.
Seiler was a former construction worker who was disabled by a back injury, according to Hengerer, who said Seiler was a popular member of the Kingsmen, a Buffalo-based biker club.
It was especially sad, in Hengerer's view, that Seiler's last ride was on someone else's motorcycle.
He said that it was also sad that Seiler's wife, Donna, was following Seiler in a van and that she came upon the accident scene as Seiler "was drawing his last breath."
Hengerer added that he was upset and disturbed because he understood that Seiler's body was not picked up by the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office until after 4 p.m. – more than five hours after the fatal crash.
"Absolutely, it bothered me," Hengerer said. "His body was just lying there in the street with a tarp over it."
The body was still lying on the pavement at the shut-down entrance ramp when a reporter drove past the scene at 2:40 p.m. The ramp was shut down for several hours after the accident. Sunday evening, the town Police Department and the county Medical Examiner's Office declined to comment on the situation.
Seiler had two teenage daughters, Hengerer said, adding that Kingsmen members were meeting late Sunday to discuss funeral arrangements.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Two ETF providers, Russell Investments and FocusShares, recently shut down nearly all their exchange-traded funds (ETFs). They aren't the first companies to exit the ETF business. More than 70 ETFs have closed this year, which breaks the record set in 2008. There are three reasons that some ETF providers don't attract enough investors to keep the funds open.
Companies late to the ETF game have to distinguish themselves from their competition, and it's too late to launch an ETF in a well-established area. For example, launching an emerging market ETF at this point will likely fail because those interested in that area gravitate to the popular iShares Emerging Markets (EEM) or Vanguard Emerging Markets (VWO). For investors, it's more attractive to trade ETFs with a lot of volume, and those with a lot of assets under management generally also trade actively.
Most companies that are now launching ETFs are targeting a very specific and narrow marketplace. In many cases the ETFs are so specific that most investors don't understand the product. Count me in that category. For example, one of the ETFs that Russell is closing is the Russell Developed ex-US High Momentum ETF (XHMO). Most investors won't know (or care) what that is.
Running ETFs is also becoming less profitable. Russell has $310 million in assets in its 26 funds, but its revenue is less than $1 million. It's a competitive industry and managers are slashing fees in order to compete and gain market share. Vanguard took a lead role in slashing fees, then Schwab cut them further. Running ETFs is becoming less profitable.
Are ETFs overhyped? In some cases yet, but not all. Total ETF assets continue to rise and are at a record level. The big ETFs are getting bigger and the small ETFs are closing. For investors, that's a good thing.

Manalani English will make a repeat appearance in tonight's Miss Aloha Hula pageant where in 2011, she captured the first runner-up title, falling just three points short of the crown won by another Maui woman, Tori Hulali Canha.
"I feel good, comfortable," English said via cellphone Tuesday from the Big Island, the site of the 50th annual Merrie Monarch Festival. Considered the "Olympics" of hula, the three-day competition begins today with the soloist hula-and-chant contest.
The 24-year-old Waiohuli resident and Kapiolani Community College radiology technology student said she was a "little bit more focused now" that she was at the competition, but also felt excited about taking the stage.
Article Photos
Manalani English (from left foreground), Jade Snow and Kainoa Kaili-Kramer practice with their halau, Na Lei Kaumaka O Uka, in April 2010. English will make her reappearance in tonight's Miss Aloha Hula pageant as part of the Merrie Monarch Festival in Hilo. In 2011, she was first runner-up in the competition.
Maui News file photo
English and her kumu hula Napua Greig of Halau Na Lei Kaumaka O Uka of Kula, Maui, were busy Tuesday evening working on a ti leaf skirt English will be wearing tonight.
Another Maui woman, Sloane Makana West of Halau Kekuao-kala'au'ala'iliahi of Wailuku, will compete in tonight's pageant held at the Aunty Edith Kanaka'ole Tennis Stadium in Hilo. West is a senior at Kamehameha Schools Maui.
West and her halau could not be reached for comment.
Halau Na Lei Kaumaka O Uka led by Greig and her sister, Kahulu Maluo, will also have their wahine compete in the group portion of the competition. That will be held on Friday and Saturday. Halau Kekuaokala'au'ala'iliahi' under the direction of 'Iliahi and Haunani Paredes' will enter its men in the kane group portion, also held Friday and Saturday.
Friday's competition will feature hula kahiko (ancient), and on Saturday, the hula auana (modern) will be featured.
Last year, the Paredes' halau, making its debut in the festival took fourth place overall in the kahiko and auana hula categories for its young men's group.
Greig and Maluo's halau didn't compete last year but will be making its ninth visit to the competition this year.
"We're excited . . . This is the 50th anniversary of the Merrie Monarch Festival. We're just excited to be part of the jubilee," Greig said.
She added that the halau began preparing for competition since November and held a fundraising concert and golf tournament to raise funds to get to Hilo.
As for the competition, Greig said it's always a tough field.
"Merrie Monarch is always going to have competition. It's the best groups in the world," she said.
Tonight, English will be dancing fourth in a field of 12 listed contestants.
Greig said that for English's kahiko performance she'll perform a mele of love, or a love song. In that performance, she will be wearing a ti leaf skirt sewn in a "different style."
For her auana performance, English will dance to E Pili Mai, or "Come to Me," written by Greig's uncle Larry Lindsey Kimura, an assistant professor of Hawaiian language at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. Kimura wrote new verses for the song, especially for English's performance.
Kimura saw English dance to his composition Tuesday, Greig said.
For the auana performance, Greig said English will be wearing a dark blue dress with fabric that hails from Japan.
According to a Merrie Monarch program book, West will be dancing in the fifth spot tonight. Her kahiko is titled "Auhea Wale 'Oe E Ka 'O'o." It honors Queen Emma, the beloved wife of Alexander Liholiho, Kamehameha IV.
West's auana is titled "Kimo Hula." The hula was composed by Helen Desha Beamer as a gift of appreciation for her friends Kimo Henderson and his wife, Lydia Leimakani May Henderson, in recognition of their love and hospitality.
On Friday and Saturday, Greig and Maluo's halau will be dancing in the 13th spot. There are 25 women who will be dancing from the halau. The youngest at 15 years old and oldest at 52.
The kahiko chant they will perform to is E Ho'i Kanani I Uluwehiwehi, which Greig said means let the beauty return to Uluwehiwehi. It is a series of chants written for the Lahaina area.
She said she suspects that Uluwehiwehi is a nickname of an area or perhaps the poet or person who wrote the chant.
She doesn't know of any place in Lahaina known as Uluwehiwehi, though.
For its auana performance, the women will dance to Halema'uma'u.
According to competition's program book, the Paredes men will be dancing in the 18th spot.
For hula kahiko, they will perform "Malie 'O Maui," which the program book describes as an athletic and bombastic hula from the repertoire of the late Kumu Hula O'Brian Eselu.
In the auana, the men will dance to "Laupahoehoe Hula." The mele recalls a handsome and athletic Hawaiian boy from the Laupahoehoe Peninsula of Hawaii island.
Tonight, Friday and Saturday's competition will be televised live on KFVE, all beginning at 6 p.m. The competition will be streamed live online at www.kfve.com.

Touchpad was working along side the USB mouse but now it won't work. In device manager it says its working correctly. I tried the fn+F9 key but that wont do anything,
Any ideas?
12-05-2010 10:48 AM - edited 07-29-2015 10:25 AM
If the F9 key shows pad disabled, you need to hit F9 again with FN still punched to enable pad. Also, go to Control Panel-Mouse-Device Settings Tab and make sure that the box for "Disable internal device when external device is attached" is unchecked.
There is no indication whether or not it is disabled on the F9 key. I have tried again & again holding down the fn + F9 key combination. When I go into the Control panel, its windows 7, I can't find the mouse Device settings. I get into the device tab by going to start & right clicking on my computer to select properties. I tried a system restore but that wont work either.
Where do I find the box/tab to make sure "Disable internal device when external device is attached" is unchecked?
12-06-2010 07:58 AM - edited 12-06-2010 08:04 AM
Click Control Panel and in upper right corner of window, click on "View by Large icons. Then click on Mouse which opens the Mouse Properties window. Then click on "Device Settings". In about the middle of the resultant window is the box for disabling the pad when mouse attached.
Another thing you can do is restart your flash cards by going to Start-All programs-Toshiba-Utilities-Restart Flash Cards. That might get FN-F9 to start working again.
Still another thing to try is Hold down the FN key and left click your mouse on the F9 box. You should then see that the pad is either enabled or disabled. Click on Enable. You have to hover your mouse over the graphics to get the words enable or disable to appear.
To cut a long story short I had to launch the onscreen keyboard (osk) & from there I was able to get the Trackpad to work again. Thanks for all the help.
Great help thank you.
I'm having the same problem and have tried the above solutions. Any other suggestions?
Thank you.
Same her... the above didn't work. I have also reinstallled the driver with no luck.
I have an old Sharp laptop (PCAL27) and I spent hours trying to solve the same issue. I was able to fix it by going into BIOS (Fn+F2 on reboot with mine but yours is probably different). Once in BIOS I went to the Advanced tab and put a check by "Internal Pointing Device". Voila it now works! Hope this works for you too.

"Kudos"! You rock! My backpack fell off the shopping cart I was pushing in San Francisco and, when I turned on my Toshiba Satellite C655-S5049, the touchpad didn't work in Windows or Linux. Several search engine queries indicated that, if you drop or spill liquids on the keyboard, the touchpad probably has a hardware problem and needs to be replaced. Two days later, I thought maybe I could fix the hardware (maybe a solder or something) and I found your post. The "Internal Pointing Device" was DISABLED. Thank you, thank you and thank you! I do not have the $ to get a new touchpad and the external mouse is sometimes awkward and eats up my USB ports when I want to use my external harddrive. Thank you, again...and thank you, Toshiba, for hosting the forum. lol (Apologies for the long post, I should have calmed down first.)
Today, after 6 months of no touchpad, I got it working. By accident, I hit Function F9 and held it down, and from the top of the screen, some icons dropped down and allowed me to enable the touch pad. I then played with it and was able to disable it again and then enable it. I have a Satellite A135-4727 model. You can also see the icon if you push your browser to the top of the screen. A whole series of icons will drop down. You will see F9.
Good luck.
I have a Satellite L655D with Windows 7 OS. My touchpad is working enough so I can move the cursor around, however the scroll function stopped working without warning. I've tried the FN F9 "trick" but it doesn't bring back my scroll function. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it?
Thank you!
Thank you C.B I had the same problem with F keys not working and the Restart Flash Card worked for me. Cheers
Not sure about the 650 but I can tell you what happened to my L775D. I was changing some of the hidden icons on the task bar and accidentally hit the "Synaptics Pointing Device" icon. It is a shortcut to the touchpad option screen. By clicking the icon, the touchpad was instantly disabled. Don't know if the 650 has this or not, just thought that I would pass this along.
This fixed mine - thank you for your help!
Ok this is the only thread where i was able to find any type of real help. None of the above has worked for me though, i opened up my laptop a Satellite A665 to clean it out with caned air since it was getting hot. The heat is no longer an issue but the touch pad no longer works and im using a USB mouse at the moment. Nothing everything is connected nothing looks burnt out inside on the board. Any help would be greatly apreicated.
I had the same problem for several weeks on my E305-S1990X laptop. Only a wired usb mouse would move the cursor. Then I used the suggestion about going to the Toshiba Utilities in the All Programs-Toshiba menu and learned about how its "Flash Cards" work. I found out that the F2 button when pressed (by itself) flashed the enable/disable touchpad icons. I clicked on the enable icon and was thrilled when my touchpad started working again.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L755D. I am not able to move the mouse with either the touchpad or an external wireless mouse. Using the windows key I did manage to get to the control panel and saw that the driver for the external mouse was installed. I tried the external mouse on another computer and it worked fine on that computer. The USB ports work with other devices. Any suggestions on what else I can try without being able to move a mouse?
Thank you.
Thanks Malcontent you saved me a few hours of pain. It worked perfectly, I still don't understand why the problem started in the first place but now is fixed
10-13-2012 01:14 PM - edited 10-14-2012 05:31 PM
I have a Toshiba Satellite A505. In the BIOS, in the Advanced Menu, select System Configuration. There is an option for Internal Pointing Device, to toggle between Disabled or Enabled. Just in case someone has the issue with the A505. Also, if at the Windows logon screen I do not push the little button just above the Touchpad so it lights up, the Touchpad does not work in Windows. I noticed this after doing the first BIOS update.

A North Tonawanda car collector who bought a vintage Chevrolet Corvette for nearly $50,000 and then spent another $75,000 restoring it, only to find the vehicle identification plate had been altered, has reached a legal settlement with the seller.
Ronald A. Ellis, of Newfane, who sold the 1966 car to Robert C. Ernst of North Tonawanda, was granted an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal by North Tonawanda City Judge William R. Lewis.
The decision means the nine felonies originally lodged against Ellis will be dropped if he stays out of trouble for six months.
More important for Ernst, whose investment in the car was about $125,000, a civil settlement was reached. Ernst said he didn't want to disclose the amount Ellis is paying him.
"Basically, I feel I was made whole on the car," he said.
Ernst said he paid Ellis $49,700 for the Corvette and spent $75,000 restoring it. But when he entered the vehicle in a vintage car show in London, Ont., in June 2011, the judges disqualified him because the VIN tag was not the original.
An investigation by the Niagara County District Attorney's Office disclosed the car had been stolen shortly after it was sold by a Georgia Chevy dealer in 1966.
When it was recovered, police in Georgia found the VIN tag had been removed.
The car changed hands several times before Ernst, a Corvette collector who has restored and resold six other vintage Vettes, saw it at a collision shop in Riverside in 2008.
After he was disqualified at the car show, he accused Ellis, who had no prior criminal record, of making a counterfeit VIN tag.
Ellis' attorney, Herbert L. Greenman, denied that accusation when he was interviewed by The Buffalo News in July. He said any alterations of the VIN tag occurred long before Ellis bought the car.
The investigation showed the auto had seven previous owners in Niagara County alone.
Greenman did not return calls seeking comment on the resolution in the case.
"I know it cost [Ellis] a lot of money for the car and for his lawyer," Ernst said. "[The settlement] saved him from going to jail and losing his job. I'm satisfied with how it came out. It saved me from chasing him for the money and having to sue him."
Although the replacement VIN plate ruined the car's value for high-end collectors, Ernst, a petrochemical designer, said he has restored the car to sharp shape.
He thinks he can sell it for a good price to someone who isn't quite as fussy about things not easily seen, such as VIN tags.
"Probably easily $75,000," Ernst said when asked what he might be able to sell it for.
"I don't think it would bring the $125,000 [I invested]."
