Suspect pleads in deadly synthetic drug ring
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Another suspect has pleaded guilty in what authorities say was a synthetic drug ring in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota that led to two overdose deaths and at least five hospitalizations.
Steven Bucher pleaded guilty in federal court in Fargo Wednesday to a conspiracy charge. He's to be sentenced in March. Bucher is about 21 years old and a former University of North Dakota student.
All 11 people charged in the case have reached plea agreements with prosecutors. Three people already have been sentenced and a fourth is to be sentenced next week.
Andrew Spofford, the man authorities say spearheaded the ring and cooked up the synthetic drugs, pleaded guilty in late October to drug and conspiracy charges. He's to be sentenced next year.

TeamSTEPPS Fundamentals Course: Module 1
Evidence-Base: Introduction
Teamwork has been studied extensively over the past 30 years. Research suggests teamwork is defined by a set of interrelated knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) that facilitate coordinated, adaptive performance, supporting one's teammates, objectives, and mission.1-4 Although teamwork differs from taskwork (i.e., operational skills), both are required for teams to be effective in complex environments.5 However, knowledge and skill at the task level are not enough. Teamwork depends upon team members' ability to:
- Anticipate needs of others.
- Adjust to each other's actions and the changing environment.
- Have a shared understanding of how a procedure or plan of care should happen.
In health care, there has been significant progress in defining team requirements since the release of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report in 19996 and the early research that led to TeamSTEPPS®.7 This body of research has yielded a significant evidence base for a set of core KSA competencies that Salas and colleagues contend apply to almost all teams.8 Further, Salas, et al.'s (2008) meta-analysis on the science of team training illustrated that positive relationships exist between team training interventions like TeamSTEPPS and their associated outcomes. Importantly, such training has been found to account for 20 percent of the variance in team performance.9
The critical aspects of teamwork that must be targeted in training include: team leadership, mutual performance monitoring (i.e., situation monitoring), backup behavior (i.e., mutual support), and communication. These core skills lead to important team outcomes, such as enabling the team to adapt to changing situations, achieve compatible shared mental models among team members, and maintain a stronger orientation toward teamwork (refer to Exhibit 1).

In addition to studies of how teams perform, there has been a burgeoning interest in the effectiveness of team training interventions in health care. In a recent review, more than 40 peer-reviewed articles detailing health care team training evaluations were identified.31 It is evident from these recent examinations that team training is being implemented across a wide spectrum of providers and is targeting important competencies such as communication, leadership, role clarity, and situational awareness.31 In addition to improving team performance, team training has been found to improve the use of appropriate medical technical skills in health care professionals.32
There has also been a growing body of research focused directly on the effectiveness of TeamSTEPPS. Research has shown that TeamSTEPPS leads to increases in desirable teamwork and safety attitudes, as well as increased communication, teamwork behaviors, clinical process compliance, efficiency, and overall performance in a variety of medical settings.31, 33-39

Kelly Rowland's Up In The Air Rant
Akon, Eve, Sean Paul and Kelly Rowland walk onto a plane…the punchline is only one of them ends up flying into a rage.
The performers were on a Qantas flight headed from Melbourne to Sydney on Thursday for the Supafest gig at Acer Arena. When the former Destiny's Child singer finally got off her flight to stretch her legs, she went verbal whoop ass on her cabin crew.
"I found the flight attendants really shitty." Rowland said, I'm guessing to the Paparazzi who were shooting this picture. Someone must have wanted to know how her flight was and when she said it was shitty, asked why.
"I don't know why," she said "You tell me." I don't think that's what they meant Kelly, they mean what did these attendants do to you that was so shitty?
"They were very rude to us," she explained angrily. "That's the first time you'll ever hear me say a curse word. They were just rude to us on the plane. They treated us like five-year-old kids." Yes what happened? Someone asked what sparked the incident.
"I don't know," she continued. Dammit, I want a play by play.
Oh well. Rowland, who looked like she could kick some ass back on February 18 in a cutout catsuit at Haze Nightclub, did a little damage control and made sure we at least knew it was her crew not Qantas in general. "Every time I've flown Qantas it's always been fantastic. It was rather unpleasant."

A researcher from Macedonia has developed technology for optimal utilization of materials and energy from agricultural waste. The technology enables utilization of all material and energy components that arise as products of the chemical processes in the reactor. The technology provides converting the chemical energy into heat and obtaining electricity in Galvan elements. This technology provides non-waste production of SiO2 and SiC nanopowder. Partners sought: joint venture agreement.
A new technology for optimal utilization of materials and energy from agricultural waste has been developed by one Macedonian researcher. The purpose of the processes occurring in the reactors is usually about obtaining certain material or compound, and rarely about using energy released into it. However, processes occurring within the reactors are complex – despite the basic material (which may be in solid, liquid or gaseous state), and accompanied by formation of by-products (in different aggregate state), that are valuable and might be used as well. Much significant problem is the question how to optimally use the energy released in chemical reactions. In most cases, the chemical energy is converted into heat and is used for heating fluid. Another type of problem exists when, as by-products, stand out steam or gas. In some special cases, chemical solvents can be used as electrolytes in order to produce current. In all mentioned cases, both the products and waste materials should be taken into account in order to provide clean and non-waste work of the reactor. The technology offered represents a complex plant ("closed loop") in which the reactor is surrounded by additional equipment (including Galvan elements) for collecting and utilization of all materials and potential energy-source components, which are products of the complex reaction occurring in the reactor. This technology provides environmentally clean and non-waste production of SiO2 and SiC nanopowder. Preferably, biomass (e.g. cereals, grape waste, rice husk and straw etc.) can be used as input material. The researcher is interested to find partners for joint venture cooperation.
Innovations and advantages:
The input components in the reactor can be of inorganic as well as of organic origin (e.g. biomass). The proposed technology is flexible and could be adjusted depending on the input materials and the additional additives in the reactor. Thus, the technology creates conditions for optimal utilization of materials and energy.
The offered solution for the technology provides a high level of utilization of materials and energy through:
1. Production of nanopowder of SiO2 and SiC;
2. Converting the chemical energy into heat and its utilization for heating fluids (liquid and gaseous) used for the heating of the reactor;
3. Utilization of liquid reagents created in the reactor as an electrolyte for producing direct current;
4. Collecting all byproducts of the reactor, which might be in solid, liquid or gaseous state, and their further utilization or recycling.
The researcher is interested to find any private organization or individual (industry, research, or private production company) or a public entity. Specific area of activity of the partner: chemical industry; R&D; electrical power production. Task to be performed by the partner sought: provide funding for future development of the prototype into industrial scale plant.

Millington, NY, United States, 2008/11/10 - The United States Army recently recycled and demilitarized tons of Vietnam Era Tank shells using an AutoDrill production drilling machine - AutoDrill.com / Drill-N-Tap.com.
After trying a number of methods that didn't work, the Army used two AutoDrill 2100 series machines to successfully demilitarize over 40,000 rounds of obsolescent tank shells from the Vietnam era. The drills were used to remove pyrotechnic tracer material from the base of the projectile. The resulting inert material comprised several hundred tons of aluminum and steel which were then recycled.
The customer from the United States Army who was using the drill to permanently demilitarize the tank ammo eventually gave a presentation at a government show in Las Vegas, NV. The presentation featured photos and additional information from the process.
One of the challenges of the process was the fact that the tracers would often ignite and shoot red hot material back onto the AutoDrill series 2100 unit. According to the customer, the AutoDrill machine was the only solution they tested that actually worked. The highly reliable AutoDrill machine is now being quoted to the U.S Army and other customers doing similar operations with single and multiple spindle drilling heads in the design.
In the future, AutoDrill hopes to become more involved in the demilitarization and recycling of obsolete weaponry and components. AutoDrill is dedicated to improving the environment for current and future generations.
AutoDrill offers free application and design assistance. Free CAD drawings are available for all their equipment.

Mississippi and wintered along the Pontotoc River. In the following spring he
reached the Mississippi River, but, because he found no gold or silver in the
region, Spanish explorers directed their efforts elsewhere.

I totally agree with you. I have read many reviews, and with some of the negative ones, I'm not sure what some of these people do for a living, but they certainly have very, very, high standards.
What I would suggest is that before you embark on a cruise, do some research yourself. Don't leave things up to your travel agent. Travel agents, too, have biases, as they may favour one cruise line over another. Get the cruise brochures, go to the library and take out some books, if you have access to a computer, check out various cruise review sites and read all the reviews you can, both good and bad, remembering that everyone has different expectations. Go to the http://www.mytravel.com and check out the great 360 views of the ship. Call the cruise line, if need be, and get more specific information. Talk to people you know who may have gone on a cruise to get the real scoop on things. In other words, be informed before you go.
For our up-coming cruise in March with our family, we had looked at over 20 cruises (from 4 different lines). We looked over the various ships (because we all have different interests), and checked out the ports. We voted for the top 5 cruises and then narrowed them down from there. Yes, we all have paid a lot of money for our cruise and want to have a good time, but with our family, we'll have a good time even if things go wrong and laugh about it.
On the last cruise as we were debarking, my daughter became violently ill. Now, this is no laughing matter, but with the help of the cruise line, they whisked us through the line of a 1,000+ people to the customs area. They were even going to bring a wheelchair over, but we said no. Now, on our next family cruise, the kids laugh about this, and say "Well, I hope that you get sick again, so we don't have to stand in that long line-up!"
All of us know that things happen. Flight delays, rough seas, missed ports, sickness, etc. These are facts of life. All of us understand that sometimes if seas are rough, you may miss a port -- it's a disappointment, but did you pick that ship and itinerary for just that port -- perhaps you should think again.
My advice is to have no expectations at all and you will have a wonderful time. If you have high expectations, especially of the food, service, etc., you may be disappointed. Be optimistic and roll with the punches. If you've been reading that lines are long, strike up a conversation with someone else in line -- you never know, you might make a new friend, or pack a deck of cards, or bring a magazine. Laugh a little and you'll have other people around you feeling a bit better, too. Think of each vacation as a travel experience where anything can happen (although we hope for only good things).
Anyway, that's my advice to everyone. Be positive, and have a good time!

Pepperdine Falls to No. 20 Cal State Fullerton 6-3
Bryan Langlois Records Two Hits; Matt Maurer Strikes Out Six
Feb. 20, 2013
MALIBU, Calif. –Pepperdine made some key mistakes and No. 20 Cal State Fullerton capitalized on them in a 6-3 non-conference loss Wednesday at Eddy D. Field Stadium. The Waves (4-1) clawed back into the contest late but the Titans (5-0) minimized the damage in remaining unbeaten on the yea
Bryan Langlois (Oak Park, Calif./Oak Park HS) led the Waves offensively on a 2-for-4 day, including his third double of the season.
Matt Maurer (Medford, Ore/North Medford HS) went 4.2 innings, allowing five runs on seven hits and struck out six. The Titans did much of their damage in their three-run first inning. With two outs, Fullerton singled, stole second and Michael Lorenzen struck out but reached first on a wild pitch which allowed a run to score. Chad Wallach followed with a RBI double down the right field line and it was 3-0 heading to the bottom of the first.
Cal State Fullerton made it 4-0 in the second as another run scored on a wild pitch. Pepperdine got on the board in third, loading the bases with two outs as Chris Amezquita (La Mirada, Calif./UCLA) slapped an RBI single to make it 4-1.
Trailing 5-1, Pepperdine plated a run in the sixth on a RBI groundout by David Oppenheim (Mercer Island, Wash./Mercer Island HS), driving in Langois who doubled down the left field line to lead off the frame. The Waves made it interesting in the eighth with back-to-back one-out singles by Langlois and Cody Nulph (Orange, Calif./Orange Lutheran). Oppenheim walked to load the bases, but the Titans got out of the jam with only one run crossing the plate on an RBI groundout by Ranny Lowe(Granada Hills, Calif./Notre Dame HS).
Cal State Fullerton tacked on an insurance run in the ninth on an RBI single from Matt Chapman. The Waves went down in order in the ninth.
Pepperdine got a strong effort from its bullpen as it allowed just one run off four hits in 4.1 innings with three strikeouts. Mat Snider (Los Altos, Calif./Los Altos HS) was particularly impressive retiring the Titans in order in the seventh and eighth. Snider finished with a pair of strikeouts in 2.0 innings.
Pepperdine takes to the road where it will take on Texas A&M in a three game series beginning Friday, Feb. 22 in College Station. First pitch of game one against the Aggies is set for 4:30 p.m. (PT).
Baseball: Pepperdine Falls to No. 20 Cal State Fullerton 6-3

text: Winfrey real star of Armstrong interview By Norman Chad January 20, 2013 Story Share LANCE ARMSTRONG went on national television last week - well, he appeared on something called the OWN network - and, in a "worldwide exclusive," told Oprah Winfrey he had doped as a cyclist.Other upcoming Oprah interview exclusives:Madonna says she first thought about sex before she was 21.Charles Manson admits to having a violent streak in the late 1960s.Albert Einstein concedes he was nerdy in high school.The Armstrong-Winfrey meeting showcased two public figures in contrast: one reviled, one revered. And after two nights of conversation - Oprah turned this into a mini-series; it was OWN's "Roots" - Armstrong looked worse than ever and Winfrey looked better than ever.This is what we now know about Lance Armstrong: Champion, liar, bully, cheat. Hey, one out of four ain't bad.It's possible Armstrong has told more lies than McDonald's has sold Big Macs.Over the years, he's repeatedly said he's been tested hundreds of times and never failed a test. Hmm. Maybe they just kept testing him for being a jerk.(By the way, in the latest issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, there is an article that is headlined: "The Question: What Is The One 'Flaw' You Wouldn't Change About Yourself?" Lance's answer: "That I'm the devil.")(Note: That article did appear in the February issue, but I made up Lance's answer.)As it turns out, just about everyone in cycling was cheating. So it was like Congress, with spokes. Armstrong, of course, vehemently denied he was cheating for years - and attacked anyone who said otherwise - but, now, he says, he was cheating though he didn't consider it cheating.Armstrong also said, "We weren't worse than the East German doping program of the '70s and '80s," which is a heck of a slogan to hang your hat on.Here are some of my favorite sound bites from his Oprah chat: "I know the truth." "I cannot lie to you.""I'm going to tell you what's true and what's not true."To trust Lance Armstrong to tell you the truth is to trust Bernie Madoff with your rent money.Even today, when Armstrong says emphatically, "Absolutely not," you know there's an 85 percent chance that it's actually, "Absolutely."I would've respected Lance more if he wore a T-shirt with the old Bob Arum line, "Yesterday I Was Lying, Today I Am Telling The Truth."(In poker, players look for "tells" - actions opponents may take or facial movements they make that indicate the strength of their cards. Lance has an unmistakable "tell" when he's lying - anytime he's moving his lips.) It was hard to listen to and watch Armstrong. He defines disingenuousness, and he seemed more regretful that he was caught than remorseful that he had cheated. How can someone schedule a nationally televised confessional and somehow emerge looking as even a worse person than before? Armstrong did it almost effortlessly.He unwittingly got help from the most trusted person in America, Oprah Winfrey.I hardly ever watched "The Oprah Winfrey Show," so I had forgotten a very simple truth:She's darn good at her craft.She does her homework, she asks common-sense questions and she listens.Oprah began the interview brilliantly, posing five basic yes-or-no questions that stripped away Armstrong's decade of deceit and disarmed the man.She may not have probed as far as she could have in certain areas, but she smartly gave Armstrong space to let his shallow character shine through.And when she challenged him, she was devastatingly on point."You're suing people and you know that they're telling the truth," Oprah said to him, incredulously. "What is that?"What is that?Ask The SlouchQ. NFL teams just hired eight new head coaches - all white. Whatever happened to the Rooney Rule? (Gary Markowitz; Olney, Md.)A. My interpretation of the Rooney Rule is this: You must interview a black man before you hire a white man. P.S. In an oversight, I don't think the Rooney Rule even applies to women.Q. Now that Lance Armstrong has finally admitted to doping, can you finally admit that all of your best work has been written under the influence of Pabst Blue Ribbon? (Phil Salvatori; Wheeling, W.Va.)A. I'm going to need a home address to serve you with a summons.Q. Will the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans still be eligible to play in the NFL once Texas secedes from the United States? (Jim Anicas; Pittsburgh)A. Yes, but Commissioner Roger Goodell has indicated that each team will have to play eight home games a year in London.Q. Is it possible you once had a wife that didn't exist? (James Jansen; Albany, N.Y.)A. Boy, that casts a whole different light on my first marriage.Q. Will Maryland play itself in next year's ACC-Big Ten Challenge? (Mark Cohen; Gibsonia, Pa.)A.

Hi guys,
I'm very sad right now...
I cant open Mixbuss anymore, crash everytime
I have Jackpilot/ Logic/MIO Metric halo 2882/MixBuss
I'm little bit lost..
please HELP!
We would need to know more about this. Probably the best bet is to get on IRC when someone is awake (Usually daytime in the US, though there are others awake as well). There is a link in the original documentation that came with Mixbus IIRC.
In the meantime, if you open up a Console (Applications>Utilities>Console.app) and clear it out. Then open mixbus until it crashes, copy and paste the contents of your console to pastebin.org and set a decent expire time on it. Then paste that URL here(And in IRC when you get on). Also when Mixbus crashes, click on Report, then copy and paste the contents of that window in a similar fashion to pastebin and give us the URL. We can use that to get a starting point. Thanks
Also keep in mind that there is a support email in that documentation as well. If you email the above documents to that email you will hear back from Harrison's support as well.
This crash, and others like it, can be mysteriously solved by re-installing JACK. We are not sure of the underlying reason yet.
The crash log looks like this:
Thread 0 Crashed:
0 libardour.dylib 0x00ab4c03 ARDOUR::AudioEngine::get_nth_physical_audio(unsigned int, int) + 95
1 ??? 0x1aa273f0 0 + 446854128
Ensure that your Jack configuration has at least 2 outputs.

My husband and I would like to do a vacation for our anniversary the first week of September. We have a baby who will be 5 months at that time and have never travelled with her. We would love to do a trip to Europe since September is a great time to go but we're worried about the long flight, time change, etc. Has anyone succesfully done a trip like this with an infant? Are there any other places you can reccommend for this time of year? We are open to any suggestions and want a nice week to relax, eat good food and ideally be somewhere we can enjoy sitting on a balcony while the baby is napping or sleeping at night.. Thanks for the help!

Report Abuse
You have a passport for your daughter, right?
Report Abuse
You will get more replies if you post this on the Europe board. I have seen posts there in the past from people traveling with babies, but since I don't have one I don't remembr the details.
Report Abuse
I see nothing that indicates the OP is confining her question to Europe thursdaysd. In fact, the contrary is clearly indicated. " Are there any other places you can reccommend for this time of year?" That includes all of the world.
Where are you travelling from Lauren? What kind of total budget you have in mind? Other than a balcony what are your interests?
Obviously, people have and do travel with babies. How enjoyable it is is another question. Obviously, there are issues to consider. The shorter the flight, the better would seem to make sense.
But to get 'Trip Ideas' you need to provide more info on budget and what your interested in. Do you just want a beach and sun? Do you want to visit a city and explore it? etc.
Report Abuse
while there are things like funerals and weddings that necessitate traveling with a baby I wouldn't vacation with a child as their care requires a lot of time and takes away from the experience and they will not remember the trip in any meaningful way..
Report Abuse
The OP says she would love to visit Europe. I have seen several posters who could answer her question on the Europe board. QED. Have you traveled with small baby, Improviser? Because if not you're only qualified to keep quiet.
Report Abuse
Where are you located? Certain a car trip would be a lot easier with an infant than a plane trip across time zones.
Report Abuse
We are from New York and are aware she would need a passport. We were considering Bellagio on Lake Como Italy - have been there before and love it. Quaint, good food, shopping, gorgeous views...but logistics of getting there aren't the best...We also love Paris but are worried about being tied to the hotel for feedings and naps.
Report Abuse
Much better to rent an apartment than stay in a hotel. Again, despite Improvisor's boringly repetitive attempts to keep posters here, LOTS of info on Parisian apartments on the Europe board.
Report Abuse
Ditto. You need to post on the Europe forum. Hardly anyone reads this "Travel Tips" branch.
Report Abuse
I agree - the Travel Tips forum does not see a lot of traffic. Not to say that you won't get sound information here, but you would see a greater diversity of opinion if you post in the various destination forums.
Report Abuse
Yawn, the same old 'post on a geographic branch' responses again and again.
The OP has NOT confined it to Europe but specifically said 'or any other places for this time of year'.
If you gave a thought to the problems of travelling with a child you would not keep insisting on Europe but instead be encouraging the OP to find somewhere CLOSER TO HOME.
For a first trip with a 5 month old baby I would be looking for somewhere close, somewhere without difficult logistics to getting there and somewhere that gave me all the facilities to make it easy with the baby.
In other words prioritize making it easy first, location second.
Again, depending on interests of which you have now mentioned that you like 'quaint, good food, shopping and gorgeous views' Lauren, it should not be that difficult to find somewhere closer for your first 'travel with baby' experience.
Why do you even need to leave the USA? There are plenty of quaint, good food, shopping and gorgeous views to be found in your own backyard.
Learning to travel with a child is like anything else you have to learn. First you take baby steps, you don't start out running.
A week at a coastal village in a rental cottage in Maine. Or a few hours by plane, a rental on the west coast.
Here is an example. http://www.wavecrestresort.com/ Have you ever spent a week in the San Diego-La Jolla-Del Mar area before?
That property is right on a cliff overlooking the beach. Sunset every night. Shopping and dining steps away from the door. A rental car for day trips into La Jolla or San Diego. There are countless things to see/do in the area.
A fully functional apartment rental to make life easy with the baby and yes, balconies or patios where you can sit sipping a 'sundowner' as the baby sleeps.

<<< Yawn, the same old 'post on a geographic branch' responses again and again.

Look, the OP suggested Europe, not me. So I advised that posting on the Europe forum would be a good idea. Indeed, I suggested posting on the "various destination forums" - which might include the USA.
Report Abuse
Babies don't tend to deal with jet lag well. Some friends brought their baby from the US to Europe and it took close to a month for the poor lil' guy to acclimate. Another thing to consider is the possibly high temps and scant availability of air conditioning.
I'd seriously consider other destinations that are less likely to stress out a 5 month old.

Well yes, that is the best suggestion, since that's how Fodor's forums are organized and where a poster will get the most replies.

Thanks everyone for the help. I was looking for both feedback from anyone who has taken an infant overseas as well as other suggestions. Since we only have a week or so we have decided it's not worth the trip to Europe.

Cape Cod..water is warm, crowds are gone.

I am still single but my sis and my brother-in-law have enjoyed this kind of a trip with the baby just 7 months old. They went to Europe and still admit that was the most beautiful vacation they have ever opted for. And with the baby it became ever more beautiful and memorable.

Task Force Rolls Out First Three SOPs on Research with Human Subjects
The new Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and Clarian Health Partners Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Research with Human Subjects Web site is now available! Go to http://www.iupui.edu/~respoly/human-sop/human-sop-menu.htm to view this central resource for researchers to find information on what will become the required IUPUI/Clarian SOPs pertaining to research with human subjects.
As reported in SOP Communication #1 (see http://www.iupui.edu/~respoly/human-sop/communication-1.htm), IUPUI/Clarian developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) governing the policies and procedures for all human subjects research being conducted by researchers whose work is subject to review and approval by the IUPUI/Clarian Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). These SOPs will become the minimum required standards for conducting human subjects research and will be the framework against which all applications are evaluated and audited by the IRBs. If you do research with or about human subjects or their records, identifiable information contained in databases, with human tissues, it is imperative that you review the following information on the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Research with Human Subjects Web site:
The Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Research with Human Subjects Web site also includes the following additional features:
The roll out plan for the SOPs calls for the SOPs to be released to the IUPUI/Clarian research community via this Web site in groupings of two or three SOPs at a time. For a limited time, the SOPs will be open to the IUPUI/Clarian research community for review and comment. The SOPs Table of Contents identifies each SOP and the timeline status for review and comment prior to the official release of the SOP and required compliance date for all IUPUI/Clarian organizations. All comments must be received prior to the close of the comment date posted. Approved revisions to a SOP will be made in a timely manner and displayed on this Web site. Only comments that are appropriate, constructive and objective will be considered. Due to resource limitations, we can only accept comments transmitted electronically to the Research Compliance Administration mailbox at firstname.lastname@example.com. Comments received by other media (e.g., by telephone, fax, mail and to other e-mail addresses) will not be considered.
The online reading guide is provided as a tool to help the user understand how the SOPs are formatted and provide a guide that will allow for easier reading and interpretation of the content. To access the guide, go to http://www.iupui.edu/~respoly/human-sop/human-sop-readinguide.htm. All future communications, introducing each SOP and inviting comment from the IUPUI/Clarian research community, will be published in future issues of the R&SP Communicator.
The first three SOPs being released can be viewed now on this Web site, go to http://www.iupui.edu/~respoly/human-sop/human-sop-menu.htm.

BACKGROUND: Annexin A5 is thought to have a role in the pathophysiology of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)-a syndrome characterised by recurrent thrombosis and pregnancy morbidity. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether anti-annexin A5 immunoglobulin (Ig)M or IgG antibodies, or the -1C-->T polymorphism of annexin A5, is a risk factor for thrombosis or miscarriage, and whether the -1C-->T polymorphism is correlated with APS. METHODS: A cohort study was carried out with a population of 198 patients with primary APS, systemic lupus erythematosus or lupus-like disease. For the detection of anti-annexin A5 antibodies and the measurement of annexin A5 plasma levels, ELISA-type methods were used. The annexin A5 -1C-->T mutation was detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism. RESULTS: 71 patients were positive for annexin A5 IgM or IgG antibodies, of whom 53 patients were positive for anti-annexin A5 IgG antibodies and 27 of 198 patients were positive for anti-annexin A5 IgM antibodies. The prevalence of IgM or IgG anti-annexin A5 antibodies was not significantly associated with thrombosis or miscarriage on multivariate analysis. The prevalence of the -1C-->T mutation in the annexin A5 gene (46/198 patients) was significantly associated with miscarriage (odds ratio 2.7, 95% confidence interval 1.1 to 6.7, independent risk factor). CONCLUSION: The detection of anti-annexin A5 antibodies does not seem relevant for estimating the risk for thrombosis or miscarriage in APS. The -1C-->T mutation was an independent risk factor for miscarriage, which is independent of APS.

Once of the things I most frequently get asked is "how can I customize the look of my Twitter page?" Whether you just want your page to look attractive or you want to actively utilize Twitter to increase your brand, customizing your page is a "must" in order to get noticed and be remembered.
The following is Part I where I describe how to create a custom image to use for your Twitter background in three simple steps using Adobe Photoshop. Continue reading
A social media assistant is so much more than someone who helps you market yourself and your products in the social media sphere. It is more than being an expert at utilizing social media tools. It is more than setting up profiles and maintaining fan pages.
Your community of customers. At KBJOnline, we consider social assisting to be very similar to being a community manager. We're not just establishing your virtual presence or shouting out your brand. We're helping you find and engage with your customers and potential customers. We're listening to your customers on your behalf. We're building loyalty for you and your products. We're establishing, maintaining, and growing your community of customers. Continue reading
A couple of weeks ago, I was reading this post by Chris Brogan.
And I'm thinking… it sounds like you need a social media assistant, Chris.
What if the first thing you reviewed in the morning was your social media "executive report" (prepared by your trusted and trusty social assistant) highlighting who's talking about you, your company, PodCamp, etc., along with alerts for matters that needed your personal attention and ready-drafted responses. Your social assistant could even post any needed replies for you once trust was established. And with a bit of initial guidance, wouldn't it be great to be alerted which dozen or so of those 700 blogs you ought to read today. Continue reading
Everybody has an opinion when it comes to design. If you have a favorite color, then you have design preferences. And even if you don't think you personally have design ability, what could be more fun than a bit of "do-it-yourself" color?
When I'm setting up a community site for somebody or customizing a profile, selecting the "right" colors is always critical. If a brand is well established, then key colors have already been selected by the client and those are a great starting point. For the web, though, you still need to choose additional harmonizing colors for font, link text, border lines, etc. Continue reading

A TEENAGER from Swindon has admitted two counts of sexual offences with a girl under the age of 16 after skipping police bail.
Richey Afonso, 19, of Medgbury Road, pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual activity with a child involving penetration when he appeared at a hearing at Swindon Crown Court yesterday.
Afonso attended the hearing with his two sisters on either arm, and spoke only to confirm his pleas to each of the counts.
He admitted that on 21 February this year, as a person over 18-years-old, he engaged in sexual activity with a child under the age of 16 on two separate occasions.
Afonso had been sought by police in May of this year after failing to answer his bail. He had been arrested and was due to attend a hearing on May 15 but never arrived.
Police put out an appeal to trace the Swindon-based Goan after efforts to locate him had failed.
Afonso was released on police bail pending further enquiries but failed to answer his bail on May 15 at Gablecross Police Station, Swindon.
Following enquiries at the time, police ascertained Afonso's employers had not heard from him for several months but they believed he was still in the UK.
The court heard during his hearing yesterday that the sex had been consensual but imposed strict conditions on Afonso's bail, including not to travel within a one mile radius of the home of the complainant.
Colin Meeke, prosecuting, told the court: "From what has been recorded this was clearly, insofar as the complainant was concerned, consensual sexual activity."
Kuljeet Dobe, defending, said: "The bail conditions are a curfew from 9pm to 7am and not to contact the complainant under any circumstances.
"He is also not to enter a certain area, which is a one mile radius around the home of the complainant. He has also had his passport taken away."
Judge Douglas Field, putting the case back, told Afonso: "I am adjourning your case until September 11 for a pre-sentence report to be carried out.
"I am ordering the probation service to order the pre-sentence report. I am also going to impose a further condition for you to co-operate with probation.
"The fact that I am granting you bail should give you no indication as to the final outcome of your case now that you have pleaded guilty."
Afonso will be recalled to court on September 11 when he will be sentenced and could face a substantial jail term.

Outdoor Furniture Made in America? Are you kidding? NO, I'M NOT KIDDING!!!!!Filed Under: Outdoor Furniture
Some people think that nothing is made in America anymore, especially outdoor furnishings. That is true to a certain extent but there are choices for a consumer that prefers to support their fellow Americans who choose to compete in a marketplace among a world of global imports. Enter Windham Castings, one of the very few companies that have a niche in the American market. Based in Plains, GA and in business for over a decade, Windham has evolved as a leader and trend-setter in the business. Not only are the pieces manufactured in the U.S., they operate their own foundry in Plains. THAT'S RIGHT, they pour their own metal! What does this mean for the consumer? Shorter lead times, superior quality product, better customer service, quality and value. Windham pricing is extremely competitive to other cast aluminum lines of outdoor furniture. We invite anyone who is not familiar with Windham and their products to come to Authenteak for a chance to see in person the beautiful product they produce. Check out Windham
What type of outdoor furniture is right for me?Filed Under: Design Ideas, Outdoor Furniture
Design Tips
It is important to remember, whatever your choice, make sure you're happy with what you get. Any good showroom salesperson will be able to guide you in the right direction if you communicate your needs when deciding what to buy. Everyone has their own personal style/taste. A few things to consider when shopping for furniture are what is the size of my outdoor area? Is the product I am drawn to the appropriate scale for the size of the space? Will the fabric choices I am making be something I will like 5-7 years from now? What about maintenance for the product I am considering? All of these questions should be well thought out during the design process of any outdoor project. Outdoor is the fastest growing segment of the furniture industry at the moment. The evolution of outdoor furnishings has become almost as vast as indoor! Hundreds of styles with thousands of options can keep you second guessing yourself. Be confident, be organized, stick to the plan and you'll know you made the right decision. Happy Shopping!
