Wilkerson was convicted on Nov. 2 by a military panel on charges of abusive sexual contact, aggravated sexual assault and three instances of conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman. The incident involved a civilian employee. Wilkerson was sentenced to a year in prison and dismissal from the service.
But Franklin exercised his discretion and reviewed the case over a three-week period and concluded "that the entire body of evidence was insufficient to meet the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt," Hagel wrote.
Although convening authorities are not required to provide reasons for their decisions, Hagel said he has directed the Pentagon's general counsel and the Air Force secretary to examine Franklin's decision "to determine how the factual basis for the action can be made more transparent."
Hagel also said the Wilkerson case raises the question of whether it is necessary or appropriate "to place the convening authority in the position of having the responsibility to review the findings and sentence of a court-martial," particularly when military law allows for a rigorous appeal process. He said he is ordering the Air Force and other military services to examine that question and determine if changes to military law are necessary.
Boxer said in a statement that she is encouraged by Hagel's response.
"I believe that we should end the ability of senior commanders to unilaterally overturn a decision or sentence by a military court and from the tenor of his letter, I am hopeful that Secretary Hagel will reach the same conclusion," Boxer said.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said she is planning to introduce legislation Tuesday that would strip commanders of the authority to overturn decision or lessen sentences made by courts-martial.
Eugene R. Fidell, who teaches military justice at Yale Law School, credited Speier for pushing for change, but warned that it could take months to get a bill through Congress. Among the thorny issues to be resolved are what, if any, role commanders should have in the administration of military justice and how current law should be adjusted to reflect a shift, he said.
"No one should be under any illusions that it can be done overnight," Fidell said.

Sony VPL-VW1000ES Projector - Performance
6/1/12 - Art Feierman
On this page, we take a look at the VPL-VW1000ES projector's brightness, sharpness, and image noise. We'll discuss brightness in conjunction with 3D usage, as well. Also considered here, are the physical attributes of light leakage and audible noise.
Sony VPL-VW1000ES Brightness
Before I get into a lot of measurements and numbers, let's talk practical. This projector, fully calibrated, puts out about 1200 lumens. In a good room, that should provide respectable brightness for a 150" diagonal screen. I've even watched movies, while filling my 124" screen, in low power mode.
This projector doesn't have a mode that's uglier that has significantly more lumens, but that 1200 lumens will certainly still fill a niced sized screen, 100" diagonal and even larger, with modest controlled lighting for sports viewing with friends. I'm talking about my room with 7 down facing led lights in the back half of the room, or with my shutters open just a little in the daytime allowing a controlled amount of daylight to leak in.
Sony rates the VPL-VW1000ES projector as a 2000 lumen projector. We never measured anything close to 2000 lumens, but that surprised me not at all. We don't measure looking for the absolute brightest a projector can do, as that usually isn't a very usable picture. I consider this projector's performance to be in line with expectations, in fact, if anything, I was very pleased to end up with 1200 calibrated lumens.
First are the lumen measurements for each of the preset and user modes. Also included, was the measured color temp for white, for each mode.
VPL-VW1000ES Lumen Output and Color Temp at 100 IRE (mid zoom):
Reference= 1269 @ 7127, 1368 lumens @ 6858 with Color Temp on DCI
Cinema Film 1= 704 @ 6934
Cinema Film 2= 330 @ 6579
Cinema Digital= 526 @ 6752
Game= 1269 @ 7193
Photo= 1128 @ 5916
Bright Cinema= 1187 @ 7180
Bright TV= 967 @ 11508
All the images below were taken with the same exposure so you can get a hint at the relative differences:
Reference Mode: Pretty much the only mode you need. Still, below, we show you the relative pictures from each mode. These are all about the same brightness, due to compensating with the camera when these images were taken. The actual brightest range varies dramatically, with the least bright mode being less than 1/3 as bright as Reference mode.
Cinema Film 1:
Cinema Film 2:
Cinema Digital:
Bright Cinema:
Bright TV:
Effect of zoom on lumen output (Reference mode):
Zoom out: 1279, 1379 on DCI Color Temp
Mid-zoom: 1269
Zoom in: 1035
Considering this is a 2.1:1 zoom lens (that is a lot of zoom range), the less than 25% difference between wide angle and telephoto is most impressive.
Lumen Output (Low Lamp, Reference mode): 884
We measured a drop of almost exactly 30% when dropping the lamp into eco-mode, that should be consistant across all modes.
Color Temp over IRE Range (Best Mode, Pre calibration):
Reference (or Cinema Film 1 which is seems identical)
VPL-VW1000ES Dynamic Iris
Effect of Iris settings on lumen output (Reference mode):
Iris on Auto Full= 1209
Iris on Auto Limited= 847
Iris on Manual (maximum opening) = 1256
Iris on Manual (50% open) = 869
Iris on Manual (minimum opening) = 547
Iris Off = 1269
As you can see, in manual mode, stopping the iris all the way down, the Sony is still putting out over 500 lumens in Reference mode.
That should give you a pretty good idea of the relevant settings and how they affect the projector's picture.
Sony VPL-VW1000ES Projector - Post Calibration
VPL-VW1000ES Best mode- Reference (calibrated): 1176 lumens @ 6814
VPL-VW1000ES Brightest mode- Reference (uncalibrated):
1269 lumens @ 7121
Color Temp over IRE Range (Post calibration) Reference Mode:
Average gamma= 2.29
3D Brightness of the VPL-VW1000ES
This Sony with its roughly 1200 lumens (you can probably find an extra 200+ lumens by sacrificing picture quality) can do a nice job on 3D content with screen sizes around 100" diagonal. I was very comfortable with that size 3D image on a number of 3D movies. As one of my screens is a StudioTek 130 (Stewart Filmscreen), with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, I had the opportunity to fill it with some movies that are 2.35:1 in 3D, at the full 124" diagonal. Overall, I felt the image was definitely a bit less bright than I actually would have liked to call reasonably bright..
Mind you, I'm big on having a good bit of 3D brightness. This evening, about 3 hours before I am writing this, I was in a local IMAX 3D theater (Regal), watching Men In Black 3. No question about it: 3D at the 124" diagonal size at my house with this Sony may be a touch less bright than I like, but no question about it, this setup in my theater is significantly brighter than the image at the IMAX theater. I guess, I should stop complaining. I'd say that the brightness difference between my viewing at 100" and at 124" diagonals is a smaller difference than from viewing in my room at 124" compared to the IMAX.
From our calibrator: Mike's NOTES: This is probably the first projector I've seen where the brightest mode was arguably also the best mode. Reference mode, which puts out over 1200 lumens, has a decent RGB balance. By contrast, the dimmest mode (Cinema Film 2) is only 330 lumens and has terrible RGB balance, with an overabundance of green. Reference mode calibrated quite well, with an average Delta E of 1.2, rising above 3 only at 100 IRE.
As usual, Sony provides a range of color spaces that tend to make using a CMS unnecessary. BT.709 is just about right on the Rec. 709 standard. Color Space 1, 2 and 3 expand the gamut to varying degrees, with Wide 3 being the largest gamut of the three. There is also an even wider DCI color space, which is designed to conform to the new DCI standard.
The Calibration page provides the settings we used. That includes basic settings as well as gain and offset.
Sony VPL-VW1000ES Sharpness
There are two aspects here. As projectors go, or rather those with 3 panels (LCD and LCoS), tight alignment of the panels creates a sharper image lacking color separation at the pixel level. This Sony has an automated alignment system that works in increments of 10% of a pixel diameter. Looking at the structure close up, it's as least as good as any other projectors I've seen with panel alignment features, including other Sony projectors, the new Epsons, and others.
Then there's perceived sharpness. That takes us back to the whole 4K resolution abilities of this projector. First, the sharpness and clarity of true 4K is a major improvement over 1080p. Even, though, the upscaling makes a very visible difference. True, not as stunning a difference, but enough to provide a more detailed image than I've seen on any other projector, and it definitely appears sharper than those JVC's claiming 4K by "firing" a 2K panel twice, with a physical offset between the first and second firings (by 1/2 pixel diagonally).
This Sony on 2K content definitely is a step up from those JVC projectors, or for that matter any of the sharper 1080p projectors including single chip DLPs.
For your consideration, our usual close up images:
Top left: Sony VPL-VW1000ES, Top Left Center: Runco LS-10d, Top Right Center: JVC X70R, Top right: Epson Home Cinema 5010
Below: SIM2 Nero 3D2, left, Optoma HD8300 on the right
Now let's look at 2K to 4K upscaling:
For all comparison images below, I set my Canon 60D dSLR to full 18 megapixel resolution for all the Map, and Logo images when shooting both the JVC and Sony. The large images were, as usual cropped to 1000 pixels wide. Thanks to starting with the full 18 megapixels, there's plenty of resolution available to distinguish the performance of these two fine projectors.
I took some images of maps from the movie Hunt For Red October with Reality Creation. And I also shot them using the JVC X70R which does it's "4K" thing using pixel shifting.
The first image is a slightly cropped shot of part of the map. (The projector for this first image, is the Sony)
The image immediately below was taken with the JVC DLA-X70R - that projector claims 4K, thanks to their physical shifting of their 2K engine, to lay down a second, overlapping 2K set of pixels. Firmware does what it can (within the limits of "large" overlapping pixels) to produce a smoother "4K" image. The small numbers (and lines) on the chart tend to be soft, and not precise.
This image below, from the VW1000ES, also is cropped from the larger frame in the movie. This image was shot with Sony's Reality Creation on, with a nice low setting of 20 out of 100. Take a look at numbers and lines on this one. No question, they are crisper, and more solid, less "soft looking".
Of course clicking on these two images (above and below) gives you the larger 1000 pixel wide images for better comparison.
For observing the differences, I suggest looking at the 525 and the 138 below the marker X0930Z. Also look in the lower right corner at the details in the map, numbers and lines. The difference in clarity is rather striking.
Remember: While the VW1000ES is a true 4K projector, the images you are looking at from the Sony are only 2K (Red October) upscaled to 4K. If we had the same content in true 4K, it would no doubt be considerably sharper still!
Throughout this review I've discussed the significant difference between having a true 4K engine, and JVC's "creating" 4K by doubling up on a 2K image.
Simply summarized, the JVC's methodology of 4K (which I'd rather they didn't call 4K), is no match for a true 4K projector, even if the content provided is only 2K. Yes, the JVC method does improve percieved sharpness over, a basic 2K projector, such as the less expensive DLA-X30 or twin, the RS45 (we reviewed the RS45), but NO, it's no match for a true 4K projector.
Discussing the Sony vs. the JVC with real 4K content, is a very short conversation, as the JVC simply has no ability to accept any 4K source, the Sony can, and it looks a whole lot sharper than even Sony's Reality Creation can do for 2K content. End of that conversation.
Sony VPL-VW1000ES: Bottom Line Sharpness
Nothing like 4K! And we projector owners deserve this higher resolution. Even on 1080p content this Sony will appear clearer and sharper than any projector I've seen with "2K" panels. We have a second comparison for you here:
Below consider these two sets of images. The first is the Sony PS3 logo photographing the projection from the VW1000ES. The second one is the JVC DLA-X70R, about 1/3 the price, but also about as good as a sub-$10,000 projector gets. The images were taken at different times, and as is common, the actual size of the icon is different in the two images.
Still, click on each image for the larger versions, and compare. Can you say "No Contest!"? The Sony is obviously the sharper image even if the JVC looks pretty darn good, doing JVC's idea of "4K" (I'll call it emulation.) JVC accomplishes it by using 2K sized pixels but doing each frame twice with essentially an offset of 1/2 pixel diagonally. Interesting concept, and technically 4K worth of pixels, its just that those pixels are EACH, 4 times the size of the pixels of the Sony! It's sort of like trying to draw a detailed image first, painting with your finger tip (Sony), then doing the same image again painting with a 1 inch diameter pad (JVC).
VW1000ES Light Leakage
Previous VW series Sonys had no light leakage that I noticed. The VPL-VW1000ES projector vents out the back, and not even there is there any noticeable light leakage. I'd have to say that at this price point you are entitled to all the details (like light leakage being taken care of). Sony has succeeded in this area.
VPL-VW1000ES Image Noise
Any image noise is pretty minimal. Some slow panning shudder that has been noticed on the lower cost Sony's does not seem to be present here. Overall, nicely clean as we expect from today's projectors. There are various noise controls but I never felt the need to engage any of them, except for the Reality Creation feature (2K to 4K upscaling).
Sony VPL-VW1000ES Audible Noise
Impressively quiet. Forget the db measurements. I've been living with this projector for 150+ hours of viewing sitting no more than 3 feet from the lens, and the only time I've noticed the fan noise is when the sound is off.

The Latest Updates On: American Idol Season 12 * Dancing With The Stars 16 * The Voice Season 4 * The X Factor
Frontman and lead singer of Boston rock band Aeorosmith, Steven Tyler, has decided to leave American Idol. Tyler served as judge of reality television singing competition during 10th and 11th season.
FOX announced Thursday (July 12) that Tyler won't be part of the show's 12th season in 2013.
"After some long … hard …thoughts … I've decided it's time for me to let go of my mistress 'American Idol' before she boils my rabbit," Tyler says in a statement. "I strayed from my first love, Aerosmith, and I'm back — but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I've got two fists in the air and I'm kicking the door open with my band."

I need to write a simple html file or web application that will allow me to display the contents of a text file in a browser. This will involve some formatting and eventually some dynamic features like sorting. This is tabular data, so I am more or less creating a spreadsheet display in a browser. I don't know how to display a variable amount of data in html. I can hard code things, but for this application, the number of rows and columns will be variable. I want to use ruby because I am using ruby to access a sqlite database from which the text file is created. Eventually the text file will go away and the application will just show data that is queried from a database. It makes sense to use ruby for the dynamic code on the webpabe if I am using it to access the database. I know that both ruby on rails and sinatra are used to create web pages, but I don't know much more than that. Can someone point me to a tutorial or example of how to do something similar? Basically the application needs to open a text file (possibly a browse button on the webpage to give it a path), read the file into variables, and then use the variables to populate rows in a display. Am I on the right track here? LMHmedchem

If I were you, I would not pull in rails for a simple thing - especially if you do not plan to have many queries. Webrick (the pure-ruby web server included in the Ruby source) works very well. Remember that you do not need to serve HTML from a web server: simple text files may be served as well. Here is a short example about how you may serve text files: --8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- require 'webrick' require 'webrick/httpserver' class Webserver < WEBrick::HTTPServer PORT=12345 def initialize super(:Port=>PORT) mount_proc('/',method(:content).to_proc()) end def content(req,res) res['content-type']='text/plain' res.body= <<-EOF This is your content EOF res.status=WEBrick::HTTPStatus::RC_OK end end Webserver::new().start() --8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- Basically, whenever you access port 12345 of your computer, method 'content' is called, which here returns a hardcoded text - but the text could be whatever.

I would recommend Sinatra instead, because it sits on top of a number of webservers (including Webrick), making it more flexible, and it hides the low-level detail. However, start by writing a program which opens your file, iterates through the lines and writes it to stdout (i.e. forget about the web part). This should be easy enough if you're already using ruby. Then to convert it to sinatra, you just need to append your results to a string instead. require 'sinatra' get '/' do res = "" res << "
\n" res << "
Hello
\n" res << "
\n" res end If you want to continue using "puts" you can even use StringIO: require 'sinatra' require 'stringio' get '/' do r = StringIO.new r.puts "
" r.puts "
Hello
" r.puts "
" r.string end Then if you want to use a query string to control the output (e.g. to select which columns to sort by), look at the Sinatra docs for params. http://www.sinatrarb.com/intro

text: The Master of Arts in Professional Writing (MAPW) degree is a professional graduate degree program that prepares candidates for a wide variety of writing-related positions in business, education, publishing, and the arts. Coursework in three concentrations - applied writing, composition and rhetoric, and creative writing - allows students to gain theoretical and practical knowledge in various fields of professional writing. As students become experienced in producing and analyzing the business, technical, journalistic, and creative texts in these three concentrations, they develop a sophisticated understanding of style, structure, and audience. MAPW students will become writing professionals who can move in many directions during their careers; they will become flexible writers who can tune in to the writing conventions of a given genre, adapting their writing style to the requirements of various rhetorical contexts. Housed in the Department of English, the MAPW Program works in cooperation with other departments such as Communication and Visual Arts. Additional resources of special importance to the program faculty and students are the Kennesaw State University Writing Center, the Kennesaw Mountain Writing Project, the Kennesaw State University Press, and the Graduate Writers Association. |

Negative Covenant
Definition of 'Negative Covenant'A bond covenant preventing certain activities, unless agreed to by the bondholders. Negative covenants are written directly into the agreement creating the bond issue, are legally binding on the issuer, and exist to protect the best interests of the bondholders. Also referred to as "restrictive covenant". |
Investopedia explains 'Negative Covenant'Think of a negative covenant as a promise not to do something. Usually, negative covenants limit the amount of dividends a firm can pay to shareholders and restrict the ability of the firm to issue additional debt. Generally, the more negative covenants exist in a bond issue, the lower the interest rate on the debt will be since the restrictive covenants make the bonds safer in the eyes of investors. |

Genitourinary (GU) prolapse occurs when the normal support structures for the organs inside a women's pelvis are weakened. The result is that one or more of the organs (the uterus, the bladder or the rectum) can drop down (prolapse) into the vagina. This may lead to no symptoms at all but more usually causes discomfort in the vagina as well as other symptoms, including urinary and bowel problems. There are various possible treatments for GU prolapse and the prognosis (outlook) is generally good.
What is genitourinary prolapse?
The organs inside a woman's pelvis include the uterus (womb), the bladder, and the lower bowel (rectum). Normally, these are supported and held in position by certain structures including ligaments and the muscles at the bottom of the pelvis (pelvic floor muscles).
Genitourinary (GU) prolapse occurs when these normal support structures are weakened and are no longer effective. The result is that one (or more) of the organs inside the pelvis drops down (prolapses). The space available for the organ(s) to drop down into is the vagina. There can be different degrees of prolapse depending on how much, or how far, the organ(s) might have dropped down into the vagina. Sometimes, the prolapse can be so much that it causes the walls of the vagina, or the uterus (womb), or both, to protrude outside the opening of the vagina.
What are the different types of genitourinary prolapse?
Different types of GU prolapse can occur depending on which pelvic organ, or organs, might have dropped down into the vagina. Generally, GU prolapse can be divided into the following, depending on which part of the pelvis it affects. However, GU prolapse may affect different parts of the pelvis at the same time.
Prolapse affecting the anterior (front) part of the pelvis
- There can be prolapse of the urethra (the tube along which urine passes from the bladder to the outside) into the vagina. The medical term for this is a urethrocele.
- There can be prolapse of the bladder into the vagina. The medical term for this is a cystocele.
- Or, both the urethra and the bladder can prolapse into the vagina at the same time. The medical term for this is a cystourethrocele.This is the most common type of GU prolapse.
Prolapse affecting the posterior (rear) part of the pelvis
- There can be prolapse of the rectum (the back passage) into the vagina. The medical term for this is a rectocele. This is the third most common type of GU prolapse.
Prolapse affecting the middle part of the pelvis
- There can be prolapse of the uterus (womb) into the vagina. This is called a uterine prolapse and is the second most common type of GU prolapse.
- If a woman has had a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), the end of the vagina that would normally attach to the cervix (the neck of the womb) is closed up during the operation. This now blind-end of the vagina is referred to as the vaginal vault. The vaginal vault can prolapse into the vagina. This is known as a vault prolapse.
- There can be prolapse of the pouch of Douglas (the space between the rectum and the uterus) into the vagina. The medical term for this is an enterocele. Loops of bowel may be present in the prolapse, enclosed within the prolapse.
How many women are affected by genitourinary prolapse?
It is difficult to estimate how many women are affected by GU prolapse because many women do not visit their doctor for help. It is thought that up to 5 in 10 women who have had children have some degree of prolapse but that only 1 or 2 women in every 10 seek medical advice.
What causes genitourinary prolapse?
It is thought that a number of things may increase the risk of developing GU prolapse. They include the following.
During childbirth (giving birth through the vagina), there is excessive stretching of the ligaments, nerves and muscles (including the pelvic floor muscles) around the vagina. This stretching can damage them and make them weaker and less supportive. However, GU prolapse does not affect everyone who gives birth. It may be more likely after a difficult, prolonged labour, a forceps delivery, or if a woman gives birth to a large baby. It also becomes more likely the more times a woman has given birth.
Increasing age
The chance of having a prolapse increases as a woman gets older. The lack of oestrogen hormone that occurs after the menopause affects the pelvic floor muscles and structures around the vagina, making them less springy and supportive.
Increased pressure inside the abdomen
Anything that causes an increase in the pressure inside a woman's abdomen and pelvis can also be a risk factor the development of GU prolapse by putting a strain on the supporting ligaments and muscles. The most common reason for this increased pressure is during pregnancy and childbirth. However, the same increase in pressure can also occur in women who are overweight, who have chronic (persistent) lung problems, such as a chronic cough, in women who regularly lift heavy objects, or women who frequently strain due to constipation.
Gynaecological surgery
If a woman has had a hysterectomy, or other gynaecological surgery, she may be more likely to develop GU prolapse. This is because the surgery may have weakened the ligaments, pelvic floor muscles and other support structures for the pelvic organs. However, with new advances in surgical techniques, including laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, this is becoming less of a problem.
Other risk factors
Very rarely, GU prolapse can occur because of a congenital problem (a problem that someone is born with) that causes deficiency, in the body, of a substance called collagen. Collagen is needed to help form the ligaments that normally support the pelvic organs. Also, it is thought that having a mother or a sister who has GU prolapse may increase a woman's risk.
What are the symptoms of genitourinary prolapse?
You can have a prolapse and not have any symptoms from it. It may just be noticed by a doctor when you are examined for another reason - for example, when you have a cervical screening (smear) test.
However, it is common for women to have some symptoms. There are certain symptoms that women with all types of prolapse can have. These include a feeling of a lump in your vagina or having a feeling of something 'dragging' or 'coming down'. You may actually be able to feel a lump or protrusion. You may experience pain in your vagina, back or abdomen. Sometimes, you may also notice a discharge from your vagina, which may be blood-stained or smelly. Sex may be uncomfortable or painful. Symptoms are usually worse after long periods of standing and they improve after lying down.
Other symptoms that you may experience can depend on the type of prolapse that you have. They can include the following. Note: you may have a combination of these symptoms if prolapse affects the organs in different parts of your pelvis at the same time.
Urinary symptoms
You may have urinary symptoms if your prolapse affects the anterior (front) part of your pelvis (your urethra and bladder). Symptoms may include:
- The need to pass urine often, both during the day and at night.
- Leaking of urine on coughing, sneezing, laughing, straining or lifting.
- Feeling a sudden urge to pass urine, and also sometimes leaking urine before getting to the toilet.
- A flow of urine that stops and starts.
- A feeling that your bladder has not emptied properly and the need to pass urine again soon afterwards.
- The need to change position whilst sitting on the toilet or the need to use your finger to push back the prolapse to enable urine to pass.
Also, complications may occur such as urine infections, incontinence (loss of control) of urine and retention of urine (not being able to pass urine at all, which may need treatment by inserting a catheter into your bladder to drain the urine).
Bowel symptoms
You may have bowel symptoms if your prolapse affects the posterior (rear) part of your pelvis (your rectum). Symptoms may include:
- Difficulty passing stools (faeces) and having to strain to pass stools.
- Feeling a sudden urge to pass stools.
- A feeling that your bowels have not emptied fully.
- Incontinence (loss of control) of stools.
- Passing lots of flatus (wind).
- A feeling of a blockage or an obstruction whilst you are passing stools.
- The need to push on, or around, your vagina or perineum to enable stools to pass.
Other symptoms
If the prolapse causes your cervix (the neck of your womb) or the skin that lines your vagina to protrude from your vagina, this can lead to ulceration of your cervix or skin and sometimes bleeding and infection.
How is genitourinary prolapse diagnosed?
GU prolapse is usually diagnosed by your doctor performing a simple examination of your vagina. They will usually ask you to lie on your left side with your knees bent slightly towards your chest. If you have a severe degree of prolapse, your doctor may also ask to examine you whilst you are standing.
When they examine you, your doctor will usually insert a special instrument called a Sims' speculum into your vagina. This is a similar instrument to that used during cervical screening but it is a different shape. They will usually move the speculum to the front and back walls of your vagina, allowing them to look for prolapse. Your doctor may ask you to cough or strain. They may use another instrument, a bit like a small pair of tongs, to pull slightly on the neck of your cervix (neck of your womb) to see if there is any prolapse of your womb. These examinations are not usually painful. If you have bowel symptoms, your doctor may suggest that they examine your back passage, using a gloved finger.
Will I need any investigations?
If you have any urinary symptoms, as described above, your doctor may ask you to collect a specimen of urine to be sent off to the laboratory to check for signs of infection. They may also suggest that you have a blood test to check your kidney function. They may refer you to a specialist for some more detailed tests on your urine and bladder - for example, some tests known as urodynamic studies. These are tests of your urine flow and they are usually done in a hospital unit. If you have bowel symptoms, a specialist may suggest some special tests to look into these.
What are the aims of treatment for genitourinary prolapse?
The aims of treatment for GU prolapse are to ensure that you:
- Are comfortable and pain-free.
- Are able to pass urine and stools adequately and have no problems with urinary or faecal incontinence.
- Are able to have sex comfortably.
- Do not experience any complications relating to the prolapse, such as urine infections or ulceration of the prolapse.
- Are able to continue to have children if you desire.
What are the treatment options for genitourinary prolapse?
Watchful waiting
If you have little in the way of symptoms, after discussion with you doctor, you may choose to wait and see how your symptoms develop. However, you doctor will usually suggest that they keep a careful eye on you and examine you from time to time. If you develop any new symptoms, you should see your doctor.
However, during this period of watchful waiting, there are a number of things that you may be able to do to help prevent the prolapse from getting any worse. As discussed above, there are a number of things that can cause a rise in the pressure inside your abdomen and increase your risk of GU prolapse, or make GU prolapse worse. For example:
- If you have GU prolapse and are overweight, it may help if you lose weight. (See separate leaflet called 'Weight Reduction - How to Lose Weight' for more details.)
- If you are constipated you should discuss this with your GP to ensure that you are receiving adequate treatment. (See separate leaflet called 'Constipation in Adults' for more details.)
- Coughing can make prolapse worse. If you are still smoking, you should try to give up. (See separate leaflet called 'Smoking - Tips to Help you Stop' for more details.)
- You should try to avoid heavy lifting as this may make prolapse worse. If you are able to, take a break, put your feet up and rest during the day.
A vaginal pessary
A vaginal pessary can be a very good way to manage GU prolapse. It may be used by women who do not wish to have surgery, by women who are still of child-bearing age, by women who are waiting for surgery, or by women who have other illnesses that may make surgery more risky. The pessaries are usually in the shape of a ring and are usually made of silicone or plastic. The ring is inserted into your vagina. It is left in place and helps to lift up the walls of your vagina and any prolapse of your womb. Vaginal pessaries are easily inserted and many GPs are able to insert them. They should be changed every 6 to 12 months.
If you have pain or difficulty passing urine after you have a vaginal pessary inserted, you should speak to your GP as soon as possible. You may need the pessary changing for a different size.
Vaginal pessaries do not usually cause any problems but, very rarely, they may affect the skin inside your vagina which can become ulcerated. Some women notice some discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Vaginal oestrogen creams
If you have mild prolapse, your doctor may suggest that you apply some oestrogen cream to your vagina for 4 to 6 weeks. This may help any feelings of discomfort that you may have. However, sometimes symptoms may return once the cream is stopped.
Pelvic floor exercises
All women with GU prolapse, whether they have symptoms or not, should do pelvic floor exercises. The exercises may stop mild degrees of prolapse from getting any worse. They may also relieve symptoms such as backache and abdominal discomfort. However, pelvic floor exercises are not likely to improve any prolapse that is already present. See separate leaflet called 'Pelvic Floor Exercises' for more details.
The aim of surgery is to provide a permanent treatment (a cure) for GU prolapse. There are various operations that can be performed, depending on the type of prolapse that you have. Keyhole surgery may be possible for some of these operations. Your surgeon will be able to advise which operation is best for you. Operations can include the following:
- A vaginal repair operation: this is where the walls of your vagina are reinforced, and tightened up, usually by making a tuck in the wall of your vagina and using stitches to hold the tuck in place. The operation is usually done through your vagina and so you do not need a cut in your abdomen. In some cases, a mesh or special tape may be sewn into the vaginal walls. Note: there are a number of different types of vaginal repair operations. There is some uncertainty about the long-term results when using mesh for some of these types of operations and there may be a risk of complications, such as the mesh eroding through the wall of your vagina. This may mean that you need further surgery and may also cause some discomfort and sexual difficulties. You should discuss the pros and cons of any operation in detail with your surgeon before going ahead.
- A hysterectomy (removal of the uterus): this is a common treatment for uterine prolapse. In fact, GU prolapse is the most common reason why women over 50 years of age have a hysterectomy. Sometimes a hysterectomy is suggested at the same time as a vaginal repair operation.
- An operation to lift up your uterus or vagina: there are various different types which include:
- Sacrohysteropexy: a special mesh is used that acts like a kind of sling to help to support your uterus and hold it in place. One end of the mesh is attached to your cervix and the other to the bone at the back of your pelvis, called your sacrum. This operation is usually done through a cut in your abdomen.
- Sacrocolpopexy: during this operation, your vagina is hitched up and held in place by fixing it to the bone at the back of your pelvis, called your sacrum. A mesh or another material is usually used to hold your vagina in place. A hysterectomy may be suggested at the same time. This operation is usually done through a cut in your abdomen.
- Infracoccygeal hysteropexy or colpopexy: these are some newer techniques where the mesh is inserted through your vagina rather than making a cut in your abdomen. This may mean a quicker recovery.
- Sacrospinous fixation: during this operation, your vagina is hitched up and stitched to a ligament inside your pelvis, called your sacrospinous ligament. It is usually carried out through your vagina and so no cut in your abdomen is needed.
You are likely to need to stay in hospital for a few days after your operation. Full recovery may take up to six to eight weeks. You should avoid heavy lifting and sexual intercourse during this time. There is a small chance that a prolapse can return after surgery.
What is the prognosis (outlook) for genitourinary prolapse?
Left untreated, GU prolapse will usually gradually get worse. The outlook is best for younger women who are of a normal weight and are in good health. The outlook is worst for older women, those in poor physical health and those who are overweight. GU prolapse can return after surgery in about 16 in 100 women.
Can genitourinary prolapse be prevented?
There are a number of things that may possibly help to prevent GU prolapse. However, not all of these have been proven. Simple things that you can do are:
- Regular pelvic floor exercises, especially if you are planning to get pregnant, are pregnant, or have given birth.
- If you are overweight, try to lose weight.
- Eat a high-fibre diet (plenty of fruit and vegetables and wholegrain bread and cereal) and drink plenty of water to avoid constipation.
- If you smoke, try to stop smoking.
- Avoid occupations that involve heavy lifting.

A great reference book for all dog owners
posted 5 years ago
Darlene Arden and one of the top animal hospitals in the country, The Angel Memorial Animal Hospital, have teamed up to give dog owners a comprehensive medical reference book. Ms. Arden takes us from puppy to golden years in this book. She explains in lay term language the many medical terms associated with a dog's health. She tells us what red flags to look for from the minor bumps to the major health issues. I work with and have rescue dogs and I find myself referring often to this book.
Pros: Well organized, informative, medically sound and easy to understand, a must have reference book
Cons: Aside from the long title, there are none.

Other Published Opinions
West Australian Daile Pepper, 21-09-06 Score: 14/20 "Now booked out on weekend nights, the philosophy of simple food, generous serves, reasonable prices and warm service is working. It is certainly not a glamorous location but once you set foot inside the tiny space, which seats about 50, you find a room warmed by a woodfired stove with soft lighting, linen tablecloths and big candles. More elegant than I was expecting from this neighbourhood joint, despite the presence of plants which I suspected were plastic."

Comments about A Radiant Romance by Teleflora:
Absolutely perfect! I sent these from a thousand miles away and had full confidence, sight unseen that they would be perfect and exactly the sort of bouquet that my girlfriend would love. I absolutely got the reaction I was looking for and the picture that my girlfriend sent of the flowers once they were delivered was even more beautiful than the picture that was shown online. It was great being able to send a surprise like this from so far away and know that I was getting exactly what I hoped for!

The bouquet was beautiful, it looked exactly as it had online, if not better. Not a flower was out of the place and the vase was beautiful and high quality.

Stormwater Management Manual
This section identifies the information to be submitted for review of plans for drainage and flood control features.
All of the information listed does not apply in every case, but review will proceed much faster if the necessary information is provided and is complete. Incomplete submittals will require subsequent submittals with additional information.
It is suggested that questions regarding the omitted or need for particular information should be discussed with City, County or District staff in advance.
A preliminary plan of development is one prepared prior to receiving discretionary approvals. These include tentative maps, specific plans and environmental reports.
A narrative report stating the goals, assumptions, and design concepts underlying the drainage system and including, at minimum, the information listed below. Additional information may be required as appropriate depending upon the size and complexity of the project.
A vicinity map showing the location of the project area in relationship to well-known features
A topographic map of the watershed containing the area being studied and upstream watershed areas. (Maps at a 1 inch to 800 feet scale map are available from the County Department of Public Works)
A table indexed to the watershed map which indicates drainage area, soil and cover types, land use, pervious infiltration rates, impervious areas and design flows for both pre-development and post-development conditions.
A description of the hydrologic methods used and identification of any extraordinary hydrologic conditions and how they were treated.
a) Design criteria tabulation for 10-year and 100-year storm runoff
b) Peak discharge computations for pipe sizing
c) Peak discharge computations for 100-year runoff
d) Assumptions as to upstream storage
A description of mitigations proposed or required.
A description of any special design features, such as storage basins, including the underlying design concepts
A map of the area to be served. The map generally should be at a scale of 1 inch to 100 feet or 1 inch to 50 feet, having 2-foot contours, except where local governmental requirements modify this interval
A layout of the area to be drained showing:
a) Streets and street names and street drainage flow direction
b) Irrigation ditches
c) Conflicting utilities (if necessary)
d) Drainage basin and sub-basins
e) Storm sewer layout with sizes and storm inlet locations
f) Cross-gutter locations and open drainage ways
g) Layout of major drainage system showing flows and directions
h) Scale and North Arrow
i) Signature blocks for review approvals
j) Location map and subdivision names
Profiles of streets, utilities, and drainage components. The drainage profile shall also show inlet elevations and hydraulic grade lines
Location and elevation of the outfall point of the storm drainage system for the planned project
Typical street cross sections
At the discretion of the approving agency, a plan, including funding, for operation and maintenance of facilities.
Improvement plans are those submitted subsequent to discretionary approval of a project. Typically, improvement plans include construction drawings.
A narrative report shall be provided stating the goals, assumptions, and design concepts underlying the drainage system and include, at minimum, the information listed below. Additional information may be required as appropriate depending upon the size and complexity of the project.
The following sections cover specific requirements of final construction drawings and specifications for drainage systems. A complete review of utilities, property locations, and other items which may affect construction of the system must also be provided, including, but not limited to:
Subdivision plats, section lines, and corners, utility easements, highway right-of-ways, and any other property data.
As-built drawings of existing streets or highways wherever would affect design or construction.
Records of existing utilities, pipelines, and structures both above and below ground. Data which are incomplete or questionable should be checked by field survey.
Size, construction, material, invert elevations, area served and type of development.
A field survey may be necessary to supplement design maps to locate utilities, test hole locations, and other items not accurately located on the maps.
Mapping for use in final design shall be of sufficient accuracy to enable horizontal locations to be set within 0.1 foot and elevations within 0.01 foot. Elevation datum shall be USGS unless other datum is specifically required. Horizontal control shall be tied to state grid coordinates and section corners to allow matching of maps for different projects.
When alternate types of materials are considered, hydraulic design profiles must be shown for each material to verify that both are acceptable.
