Marygrove College will be closed again today, March 13th, due to a power outage.
Following law school, Kathleen was a litigator in private practice for five years. She then joined the staff of the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) as legislative director and later became executive director. She lobbied, drafted pro-consumer amendments and gave expert testimony more than 200 times before congressional and state legislative bodies. She was one of only two CFA lobbyists. During the early 1980s, Kathleen brought consumer issues to the attention of a greater audience in regular guest appearances on PBS's "MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour." She also was a frequent guest on ABC's "Good Morning America" and produced and appeared in segments on health, safety, insurance and antitrust issues on NBC's "Today Show" as well as on local television and radio programs. Kathleen traveled across the nation to advocate for legislation and regulation that would level the playing field for all consumers.
Kathleen lobbied and drafted language for amendments to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, including the amendment that prohibited credit discrimination based on receipt of public assistance and/or secondary income such as a regular part-time job. These practices by retailers and credit card companies adversely affected women trying to obtain credit.
In 1980, Kathleen, a Democrat, endorsed by the Detroit Free Press, ran for Congress in Michigan's second district which then included: Livonia, Plymouth, Northville, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. The election went to the Republican incumbent.
Continuing her consumer advocacy, in 1983 Kathleen became executive director of the Wisconsin Citizens Utility Board (CUB), the state's 96,000 member consumer organization, a position she held for seven years. At CUB, she pioneered a number of consumer victories related to public policy for telephone, electricity and gas. Several set national precedents. Former CUB Board President Tom Lonsway noted that a number of orders of state regulators specifically cited CUB for having initiated petitions and arguments that resulted in decisions that saved hundreds of millions of dollars for Wisconsin utility customers.
In 1991, Kathleen returned to Washington and private practice. She served as Counsel to the National Association of State Consumer Utility Advocates and assisted in representing them before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Congress. She has represented consumer and public interest organizations before regulatory commissions in California, Michigan, the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, Texas and Oklahoma.
Kathleen is board president of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, has served on more than a dozen non-profit boards of directors and advisory boards, and has provided pro bono services to a number of Washington area non-profits.
Recently, Kathleen was named Special Counsel to the Inspector General of the FCC where she advises on the prevention and identification of fraud, waste and abuse in programs such as the Universal Service Fund as well as policies related to improving the efficiency of the agency's programs and operations.
With the assistance of Kathleen's husband, Reuben McCornack, low income church members in an inner city neighborhood established a Laundromat, BIG WASH, owned and operated by local residents. The landlord tried to force out BIG WASH and for more than five years, Kathleen waged an intense legal battle in the courts to keep it open. The battle went all the way to the D.C. Court of Appeals with a unanimous decision in favor of the Laundromat. According to her husband, "Kathleen also provided individual pro bono assistance and/or patient advocacy to several of the BIG WASH staff and neighborhood family investors, none of whom could afford to hire an attorney. In each case Kathleen succeeded in getting their jobs back, money refunded, better attention to cancer treatment, etc."
Kathleen attributes much of her motivation to the "extraordinary teachers and outstanding education" she received at Marygrove. That education helped give her the encouragement to examine issues with logic and compassion, and to question any authority that lacked either.For more information, contact Tiffany Alexander, Interim Director of Alumni Relations/Alumni Annual Giving at 313-927-1443 or email@example.com.

LANSING (WKZO) -- State Senator Mark Jansen of Gaines Township is trying again to get bills passed to ban health insurers from covering "elective abortion" unless the policyholder pays more for a supplemental rider. Jansen got the measure attached to bills overhauling Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan last year, prompting Governor Snyder to veto them, despite his desire to pass the reforms to the Blues.

Cutie and the Boxer
"Intricately profound… a non-fiction love story about a couple whose bond transcends their impediments." — Eric Kohn, Indiewire
Photography: Zachary Heinzerling
Producers: Zachary Heinzerling, Lydia Dean Pilcher, Patrick Burns, Sierra Pettengill
Editor: David Teague
Sound: Mark Phillips
Music: Yasuaki Shimizu
With: Ushio Shinohara, Noriko Shinohara, Alexander Kukai Shinohara
Festivals: Sundance, Tribeca, San Francisco 2013
Directing Award (Documentary), Sundance Film Festival 2013
This affectionate, though hardly sugar-coated, portrait of two artists you probably have never heard of may well prove an NZIFF favourite.
"Cutie and the Boxer is equally inspiring, funny and wise. On its surface, this fly-on-the-wall documentary simply shines a spotlight on adorable husband and wife artists Ushio and Noriko Shinohara, but filmmaker Zachary Heinzerling masterfully plumbs depths to give us a greater understanding of their marriage in relation to the different art they create…
Ushio moved to New York City in the late 60s, gaining acclaim (but little commercial success) for his bold work, which included making motorcycle sculptures out of discarded items like cardboard and doing so-called 'boxing' paintings, which consist of him punching a large canvas with boxing gloves dabbed in paint… Initially, it seems that Ushio's career will be the main emphasis, but slowly Heinzerling reveals his film to be a study of Ushio and Noriko, who is more than 20 years younger than Ushio and moved to New York dreaming of becoming an artist herself before falling in love with this charismatic, talented man…
Utilizing Noriko's autobiographical drawings, which the documentary animates with quiet simplicity, Cutie and the Boxer gives us a sense of how she has been the strong foundation for a marriage approaching 40 years. But rather than making her a martyr, the film reveals this couple's dynamic to be far more nuanced…
Ultimately, the movie celebrates different kinds of commitment, whether it be to the perils of being an artist or to the uncertainty of marriage. Neither pursuit is for the faint of heart." — Tim Grierson, Screendaily

Slimane took over from Stefano Pilati as the fashion house's new creative director in March this year. The new name is expected to be introduced in the coming months and should be implemented by the time Slimane's debut spring/summer 2013 collection lands in stores, WWD reports. The designer will use the same font and nomenclature that the label's eponymous founder first used when he launched his ready-to-wear line in 1966, then called Saint Laurent River Gauche. A spokesperson for the label told WWD that Slimane will use the house's "original branding" in order to restore "the house to its truth, purity and essence - and taking it into a new era", while "respecting the original principles and ideals". The brand's logo will also remain the same. Slimane's debut pre spring/summer 2013 collection will be shown to a small group of buyers imminently, while his first catwalk show will be unveiled during Paris Fashion Week - which starts on September 25 and finishes October 3.

Show people you were on the bandwagon centuries before that said wagon was built. Maybe one day they'll revere you enough to use your name as a killing word. …or maybe they'll just be like "hey, cool shirt." One of those.

Superior Health Begins in the Digestive System
More than 70 percent of our body's natural defenses are found in the digestive tract, where beneficial flora called probiotics work to:
Probiotics in the Digestive System
High Bifido For Optimal Benefits
Bifidobacteria are the most prevalent type of good bacteria in a healthy colon (or large intestine). They play a vital role in promoting digestive health and supporting the body's defenses.
In middle age, our level of Bifidobacteria declines. This has been linked to increased digestive disorders and a decline in overall health. Ultimate Flora CRITICAL CARE 50 Billion contains 30 billion Bifidobacteria to replenish healthy flora and more closely represent the ratio of Bifido to Lactobacilli found in the digestive system.
The Ultimate Flora Probiotic Difference
Higher Potency
Ultimate Flora CRITICAL CARE 50 Billion™ is a therapeutic-strength one-a-day probiotic specially formulated for people with acute care needs. Each capsule contains 50 billion active cultures of 10 strains of beneficial flora, more than most other intensive care probiotics.
One Capsule Per Day
To receive 50 billion cultures per day, you would need to take ten capsules of a probiotic with 5 billion cultures per capsule!
Enteric-GUARD™ DELAYED RELEASE
Ultimate Flora vegetable capsules have an added layer of protection to help deliver more active probiotics directly to the intestines for maximum benefit.
For best results, take one capsule daily with a light meal.
Ultimate Flora Critical Care is formulated to provide 50 billion live cultures per capsule at time of consumption, if prior to expiration, under recommended storage conditions. Storage and handling conditions may vary, and may affect the total amount of cultures delivered at consumption.

Everyone knows the teen years can be difficult — for both teens and parents. All those physical changes during puberty can make adolescents feel awkward and unsure of themselves.
This is particularly true for girls when it comes to menstruation. For a girl, getting her first period is a physical milestone and a sign of becoming a woman. But it can also be confusing and scary, particularly if she encounters certain problems like irregular periods or premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
Most issues teens confront when they start menstruating are completely normal. In fact, many girls and women have had to deal with one or more of them at one time or another:
PMS includes both physical and emotional symptoms that many females get right before their periods, such as:
Different girls may have some or all of these symptoms in varying combinations. PMS is usually at its worst during the 7 days before the period starts and disappears soon after it begins. But girls usually don't develop symptoms associated with PMS until several years after menstruation starts — if ever.
Although the exact cause of PMS is unknown, it seems to occur because of changing hormone levels in the body, and changing chemical levels in the brain. During the second half of the menstrual cycle, the amount of progesterone in the body increases. Then, about 7 days before the period starts, levels of both progesterone and estrogen start to drop.
Some girls' bodies seem to be more sensitive to these hormone changes than others. Talk to your daughter's doctor if her symptoms are severe or interfere with her normal activities.
Many girls experience abdominal cramps during the first few days of their periods. They're caused by prostaglandin, a chemical in the body that makes the smooth muscle in the uterus contract. These involuntary contractions can be either dull or sharp and intense.
The good news is that cramps usually only last a few days. But call your daughter's doctor if she has severe cramps that keep her home from school or from doing stuff with her friends. Also let the doctor know if the cramps do not improve with over-the-counter ibuprofen.
It can take 2 to 3 years from a girl's first period for her body to develop a regular cycle. During that time, the body is essentially adjusting to the influx of hormones unleashed by puberty. And what's "regular" varies from person to person. The typical cycle of an adult female is 28 days, although some are as short as 21 days and others are as long as 35.
Changing hormone levels might make a girl's period last a short time during one month (just a few days) and a long time the next (up to a week). She may skip months, get two periods almost right after each other, or alternate between heavy and light bleeding from one month to another.
But any girl who's sexually active and skips a period should see a doctor to make sure she's not pregnant. And if your daughter's period still hasn't settled into a relatively predictable pattern after 3 years, or if she has four or five regular periods and then skips her period or becomes irregular, make an appointment with her doctor to check for possible problems.
Also let your daughter's doctor know if her cycle is less than 21 days or more than 45 days, or if she doesn't get a period for 3 months at any time after first beginning to menstruate.
Girls go through puberty at different rates. Some reach menarche (the medical term for the first period or the beginning of menstruation) as early as 9 or 10 years old and others don't have their first periods until they're well into their teen years. So, if your daughter is a "late bloomer," it doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with her.
When girls get their periods actually depends a lot on genetics. Girls often start menstruating at approximately the same age their mothers or grandmothers did. Also, certain ethnic groups, on average, go through puberty earlier than others. For instance, African-American girls, on average, start puberty and get their periods before Caucasian girls do.
Let your daughter's doctor know if she hasn't gotten her period by age 15, or by 3 years after starting puberty.
Although most period problems are harmless, a few conditions can be more serious and require medical attention:
Girls who haven't started their periods by the time they're 15 years old or 3 years after they've shown the first signs of puberty have primary amenorrhea, which is usually caused by a genetic abnormality, a hormone imbalance, or a problem with the way the reproductive organs developed.
Hormone imbalances also can lead to secondary amenorrhea, which is when a girl who had normal periods suddenly stops menstruating for more than 6 months or three of her usual cycles.
Since pregnancy is the most common cause of secondary amenorrhea, it should always be ruled out when a girl skips periods. In addition to hormone imbalances and pregnancy, other things that can cause both primary and secondary amenorrhea include:
Something else that can also cause primary and secondary amenorrhea is excessive exercising (often distance running, ballet, figure skating or gymnastics) combined with a poor diet, which usually results in inappropriate weight loss or failure to gain weight during growth.
But this doesn't include the usual gym class or school sports team, even those that practice often. To exercise so much that she delays her period, a girl would have to train vigorously for several hours a day, most days of the week, and not get enough calories, vitamins, and minerals.
It's normal for a girl's period to be heavier on some days than others. But signs of menorrhagia (excessively heavy or long periods) can include soaking through at least one sanitary napkin (pad) an hour for several hours in a row or periods that last longer than 7 days. Girls with menorrhagia sometimes stay home from school or social functions because they're worried they won't be able to control the bleeding in public.
The most frequent cause of menorrhagia is an imbalance between the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, which allows the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) to keep building up. When the endometrium is finally shed during menstruation, the resulting bleeding is particularly heavy.
Because many adolescents have slight hormone imbalances during puberty, menorrhagia isn't uncommon in teens. But in some cases, heavy menstrual bleeding can be caused by problems such as:
If your daughter has heavy periods, or periods that last longer than 7 days, talk to her doctor.
There are two types of dysmenorrhea, which is painful menstruation that can interfere with a girl's ability to attend school, study, or sleep:
Having cramps for a day or two each month is common, but if your daughter has symptoms severe enough to keep her from her normal activities, or cramps that last for more than 3 days, discuss it with her doctor.
In this condition, tissue normally found only in the uterus starts to grow outside the uterus — in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other parts of the pelvic cavity. It can cause abnormal bleeding, dysmenorrhea, general pelvic pain, and lower back pain.
To determine whether a problem requires treatment, the doctor will ask several questions and do a thorough physical exam. The doctor may do a pelvic exam, blood tests, or urine tests. If there might be a structural problem, an ultrasound or CAT scan may be performed. Together, these tests can help the doctor determine how a condition should be handled.
Growths such as polyps or fibroids can often be removed and endometriosis can often be treated with medications or surgery. If a hormone imbalance is to blame, the doctor may suggest hormone therapy with birth control pills or other hormone-containing medications. Conditions like clotting disorders or thyroid problems may require treatment as well.
And for menstrual pain with no underlying medical cause, anti-inflammatory medicines are the most effective treatment.
Although most period problems aren't cause for alarm, certain symptoms do call for a trip to the doctor. This is particularly true if a girl's normal cycle changes.
So take your daughter to her doctor if she:
When your daughter's experiencing a particularly bad bout of PMS or cramps, you can help make her more comfortable. Suggest that she:
If you notice that your daughter's periods are causing her great discomfort or interfering with her life, talk to her doctor to make sure nothing else is causing the problem and to see if anything can help. Sometimes hormone treatment, often in the form of birth control pills, can help ease many symptoms associated with uncomfortable periods.
But the most important way you can help your daughter feel more at ease about her period is to talk to her and explain that most annoying or uncomfortable conditions that accompany menstruation are normal and may improve over time. And be understanding when she's cranky and unhappy. After all, no one's at her best all the time.

Paula's Note: Cook the pickled beef while no one is home as the smell is quite pungent.
Great sandwich idea, i own and operate a small soup and sandwich place and need any sandwich ideas, please assist when you can. Love your home cooking and enjoy your shows and fun you make with it. We want more Paula home cooking shows

I loved the slow cooked pickled beef and so did everyone at the party. I loved the smell while it was cooking and really liked the pickled flavor. Could you add pickling spice and fresh dill while it is cooking? I sliced an onion and put that & two cloves of garlic in the bottom of pot before adding beef and pickles. I sliced the cooked pickles & served them with onions on top of meat and made a sauce using thickened broth with a bit of barbecue sauce. Main question is about adding pickling spice, thanks.

Great sandwiches. Wife ate her's with BBQ sauce and loved it. The rest of us ate our's according to the recipe, absolutely fantastic. I used Mt. Olive sliced dills. I chopped a cup of the pickles real finely and added them to the cooked meat. We will make this meal again!!

I made the pickled beef and my family loved it. I also experimented using a pork loin roast but used bread and butter pickles and it turn out delicious. I used a submerizable blender, and pulvized the pickles in the broth. Then I used some of the broth-pickle mixture in the pulled pork for sandwiches. What I had left over I made Hot Tamales, and they were great. I added some chili powder and cumin to the pork-pickle mixture for the tamales.
By Judy Moring on April 09, 2011
I gave it 4 stars because it is simply.. easy.. and expensive, especially if you get the meat and pickles on sale. But I think one of the keys to this recipe must be the brand of pickles you use. Like another user, I used Claussen and found the taste to be super mild. Hardly dill at all, and it didn't even stink up the kitchen. So really what I had was some mildly flavored shredded beef at the end. A dash of tangy BBQ sauce really turned it around though and made it pretty tasty, but I was looking forward to the dill flavor. Next time I will pick a brand that I know has a really stronger flavor and try it that way.
By Michael Maring on March 27, 2011
I made this today and it was FANTASTIC! I used sliced dill pickles as it was all I had and they cooked up so nice and soft that they practically melted in your mouth! My husband loved this and can't wait until I make it again!
By Stacy on March 22, 2011
I'm sorry, Paula, I love you, and love every other one of your recipes, but I couldn't like this one. My family turned their noses up too. I think it needed butter!!!! Maybe we're just a bunch of sour pusses.

Salad Fingers A strange cartoon about a creature who loves to touch rusty metal.

A strange man begins to change his ways.
"It made me feel very nice, it had a really warm feeling about it." - Firth
Rated 5 / 5 stars September 25, 2011
I like this :)
Enough of the David Firth comments! Haven't you guys ever heard the quote, "Great minds think alike?" And besides, there is no single person in the world that owns a style, idea or genre. This actually didn't make me feel that uncomfortable, just made me think about a lot. That's what a true serious short is supposed to do, make you question life, not scare the fuck out of you. I think the message is that if you want something done right, you've got to do if yourself.
Rated 4 / 5 stars July 1, 2011
This is a less creepy salad fingers.
I fucking hate that cartoon, but this is ok.
Rated 3 / 5 stars June 6, 2011
Sublimely Evil
My actual rating is 6.5 - But of course that is not feasible on this rating system. What this animation shows or deals with is mental illness, the background floor like noise set about a really disturbing atmosphere & then general surrealness of the situation especially concerning the way the individual was acting towards it (which I say was very casual) made it all the more bizzare.
As for my fairly not great rating? Animation plays a BIG part for me.. And although everything else was spot on (reminded me a lot of David Firth's stuff which I am a big fan of) but even though Firth's animation is not brilliant it is still feasible. This animation was not very good at all, infact it was quite bad. Had the animation been better I am sure this would have been a very exceptional piece of art..
It is nonetheless much better than most other Flash movies you see on this Website - Which basically consist of Parodies & other gimicks
I advise the maker to remake this but with more skilled animation, then it really would be really exceptionally above the average range..
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars April 15, 2011
I think i get it
the whole self check out thing is a metaphor for the fact that he has some kind of fetish for wearing dead peoples clothes but couldn't kill them himself. He finally realizes that he should just do it himself. Great flash.

In 2004, the United States imported more than 10 million barrels of crude oil per day. That amount has more than tripled since 1973 when crude oil imports were just over 3 million barrels. The graph below shows from which countries the crude oil came. The countries supplying the United States with crude oil have changed over time, evidenced by the 1973 data on the graph. Many of the countries that the United States currently buys crude oil from did not supply any oil in 1973, such as Mexico, Iraq, the United Kingdom, and Norway.
Note: Crude oil only; imported refined oil products (approximately 2,861 thousand barrels per day) are omitted from these data.

As Serena came more alive to me as a character, I realized she was an anomaly in American literary fiction. While there have been many novels about women who have wielded great power within a family, how many have been about a woman who is a "captain of industry," especially in novels set in the past? This aspect of Serena made her even more intriguing to me. How would she assert herself, and prove herself, to the hundred men in her employment? How would the workers, and her husband, react to her strength and ambition? This, too, makes it a novel for our times.
I have never worked harder or longer on a novel than this one. Its scope is much more ambitious and its landscape more vast, but, in the end, the novel's ultimate theme is the universal and timeless vagaries of the human heart.

Star Wars
Blueprints Collection
Posted By Paul on June 25, 2008
You may remember that
late last year
, we heard about a new set of Star Wars blueprints that were in the works from DK Books.
Well, Zee Zee from UK-based fansite
Star Wars Books
has contacted us, to let us know that listings for the up-coming
Star Wars Ultimate Blueprints Collection
have appeared online.
You can find it at
, and also on the website of its publishers,
. Both sites list a release date of 4th August, and give a cover price of $19.99 US.
It's also on
with a UK price of �12.99, and a UK released date of August 1st.
The UK site identifies Ryder Windham as the author, and Chris Trevas and Chris Reiff as illustrators, all of which sounds plausible. Veteran
Star Wars
artist Chris Trevas has been linked to this project since the
StarWars.com "first look"
last year, and Reiff has been his collaborator on a regular column in the
Star Wars Insider
and the website
The Parts of Star Wars
Wyndham would presumably be supplying the text accompanying the plans, and for what it's worth--which may not be much--the page on Chris Trevas
at Wookieepedia
already claims that he's doing just that.
As to content, the cover image that we were given on StarWars.com last year announces "five double-sided poster-sized plans", including the
Millennium Falcon
and Death Star, Artoo, Threepio and Darth Vader, and "lightsabers & blasters".
The DK.com page now mentions a look at the
's hyperdrive, and "the complete floor plan of the Deathstar"... which seems quite an impressive claim if it's accurate, considering the size of that thing.
: two important bits of news about this.
Firstly, we were contacted by
from the Belgian Star Wars fanclub TeeKay-421. He tells us that they have an interview with Ryder Windham in the latest issue of their quarterly print magazine, in which Windham confirms that he's providing the text for this book.
Unfortunately, the interview is in Dutch, and it isn't online. You can, however, view the TeeKay-421 website, also in Dutch,
Then... we were contacted by
Chris Trevas
Chris Reiff
in person. They've confirmed that they're both doing the art for this book, and that the five posters included will be broadly as they were listed in the "first look": the
Millennium Falcon
, Darth Vader, the Death Star, Threepio and Artoo, and a selection of weapons.
The box art, however, will be different from the mock-up we saw last year, and while we are going to get a look at the
's hyperdrive on one of the posters, the Death Star material won't show a complete floor-plan, though it will offer an indication of how some details fit into the overall design.
Another thing I should have said is that Chris Reiff is a veteran product designer/developer whose
Star Wars
work includes some of the current Wizards of the Coast miniatures. You can check out his website
We'll bring you more details on this just as soon as we hear them ourselves!
Just a short update today...
Click here
for your first views of some of the prints at
. (Not sure why it's listed as an import)
Also, as a side note, Chris Trevas and Chris Reiff will be doing a couple of signings for DK at San Diego Comic-Con in July. Make sure to stop by and say hello!
Thanks to Chris Reiff for the heads up!

SOURCE Henry Ford Hospital
DETROIT, Dec. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A new internal defibrillator, on the cusp of a new standard of care in American cardiology to treat patients for a major heart risk, is being used at Henry Ford Hospital.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131216/DE34057)
Compared to the current devices used to treat sudden cardiac arrest, the new internal defibrillator has less risk of infection, no clots forming in blood vessels, no lead perforation through the heart wall, or puncturing the lining of the lung. Also, the lead is not subject to normal wear and tear of heart movement, as it is just under the skin, not inside the heart, which can cause breakdown of leads, thus needing to replace them.
Internal defibrillators are small devices, similar to pacemakers, which send an electric shock to the heart to try to restore its normal rhythm. The lead is the flexible electrical wire that conducts the shock from the defibrillator to the heart.
"This device should be considered a first-line treatment for patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest who do not require the regular stimulation of a pacemaker," says Henry Ford cardiologist Arfaat Khan, M.D. "Patients with an increased risk of infection will benefit the most, such as those with diabetes or on dialysis, as well as young patients that may need to have leads replaced as they wear out over time.
"It has the potential to become the new standard of care," adds Dr. Khan.
Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the U.S., claiming more than 350,000 lives each year, according to the Heart Rhythm Society. That's more deaths per year than those caused by breast cancer, lung cancer, stroke or AIDS.
Henry Ford Hospital is the first in Michigan to implant this device, the only subcutaneous (under the skin) defibrillator to treat patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest.
Traditional internal cardiac defibrillators have proven to be effective in the treatment of sudden cardiac death. Each year, approximately 200,000 of them are implanted in American patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
The major risk factor for sudden cardiac arrest is coronary heart disease, including those who are unaware of their disease until their heart stops. However, it can also happen in people who seem healthy and have no known heart disease or other risk factors for sudden cardiac arrest.
Many people who have sudden cardiac arrest have had previous, undiagnosed heart attacks. They have had no heart attack symptoms, so are unaware that they've had one. Other risk factors for sudden cardiac arrest include heart failure, a history of arrhythmia, or substance abuse.
The risk of sudden cardiac arrest increases with age or heart disease, and men are two to three times more likely to have it than women.
Sudden cardiac arrest is an abrupt loss of heart function. Most episodes are caused by rapid and/or chaotic activity of the heart, known as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Usually, the first sign is loss of consciousness, and no pulse. Shortly before that, some people may have a racing heartbeat or feel light-headed. Within an hour before sudden cardiac arrest, some have chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, or vomiting. Most people who have sudden cardiac arrest die within minutes.
Sudden cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack. A heart attack occurs if blood flow to the heart is blocked. During a heart attack, the heart usually doesn't suddenly stop beating. However, sudden cardiac arrest can happen after a heart attack, or during recovery.
Eighty-six-year-old Gale Irwin of Taylor is a retired letter carrier who walks regularly. But he was getting short of breath in the spring, and his doctor discovered he had had a small heart attack. After having a triple heart bypass, at a follow-up exam his doctor did not feel that his heart was functioning well enough – although he did not need a pacemaker. Irwin became the first person in Michigan to receive the new device, and was discharged from the hospital the next day.
The new defibrillator is designed to provide the same protection from sudden cardiac arrest as traditional implantable defibrillators. But it is placed without the need for an electrical lead in the heart. Rather, the lead is implanted just under the skin, along the bottom of the rib cage and breast bone – it does not touch the heart. Since it does not travel through a vein into the heart, a physician can implant the device without going through blood vessels or the heart and without the need for fluoroscopy with x-rays to place the lead, and the resulting radiation.
The device has two main components: the pulse generator, which powers the system, monitors heart activity, and delivers a shock if needed; and the electrode, which enables the device to sense the cardiac rhythm and serves as a pathway for the shock delivery. The generator is placed at the side of the chest, and the electrode beside the breastbone.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the S-ICD System manufactured by Boston Scientific.

Being fostered - 1890's in Warwickshire

If the Ladies Maid bit is true, it must have been with the Wheatley family |
Researching: |
Susan | Report | 19 Feb 2013 13:02 |
Yes, you are right Kath. I have their marriage certificate and also their wedding photo (see my tree Ludlam on Ancestry). My Mum, the eldest (lLilian Beatrice Mary) was a honeymoon baby, her sister Dorothy one year exactly later and then a brother (Ernest) and the youngest two were twins although one died at 6 weeks old but Dennis survived to very old age. All females in that family line have Mary as one of their names - Nan was Lettice Lilian Mary Beadle. Nan's mother was Elizabeth Mary Evans. When I was little I called Nan, Lettuce and Mum Beetroot! You won't find Nan in the 1911 census as apparently her Lady was a follower of "Votes for Women", and they didn't register as a protest! :-) |
KathleenBell | Report | 18 Feb 2013 14:49 |
I actually think that Lilian was one of her middle names and that is where Lily comes from. This looks like her birth:- |
Susan | Report | 18 Feb 2013 14:36 |
Thank you all for the suggestions - by the way Kath, her name was actually Lettice shortened to Lily but not "translated" across correctly - although Ancestry has noted it. The family had come up from London and we think were trying to get across to North Wales where Bessie's home was. My grandmother went on to become a lady's companion to someone living at nearby Berkswell Hall (she told me this when I was little) but don't know who. She subsequently married in 1914 and lived in Coventry but her eldest brother went back to Croydon (the other brother married a woodcutter's daughter and went to live in Hampton in Arden). |
wisechild | Report | 18 Feb 2013 14:23 |
My gran was apparently fostered by her half brother & his wife after her mother died in 1907. |
KathleenBell | Report | 18 Feb 2013 14:08 |
Is this the children with their parents in the 1891 census? :- |
KathleenBell | Report | 18 Feb 2013 13:58 |
As wisechild has already said, I doubt that you will find any paperwork. Were the people who fostered the children known to the family? It is likely that they were just family friends or neighbours or just a couple who took in children for payment. Were the children described as "nurse child" on the census? |
wisechild | Report | 18 Feb 2013 13:35 |
There´s unlikely to be any paperwork. Adoption wasn´t legalised until the mid 1920s & would assume fostering would be about the same. |
Susan | Report | 18 Feb 2013 13:08 |
Does anyone know how to trace the paperwork for a family of one girl and 2 brothers (Beadle) taken in and fostered (they are in the 1901 census in Berkswell) when their parents didn't come back from a job hunting trip. I need to find out when this occurred - believed in the family to be about 1895. |

Beyond Frontiers Audio
Beyond Frontiers Audio (BFA) was founded by two former senior designers of Sonic Frontiers, Zdenko Zivkovic and Glenn Dolick, with Matt Brazeau, formerly with Globe Audio, handling the marketing. BFA's first product is the Tulip ($17,000), an integrated amplifier (180Wpc) with built-in DAC. It looks like a very serious product, with a parts list that reads like "the best of high-end audio" (24-bit/192kHz Cirrus Logic and Burr-Brown DAC, Mundorf supreme silver/gold/oil capacitors, Sanken bipolar output transistors, WBT speaker connectors, Cardas input RCA connectors, 1600W toroidal dual primary power transformer, Swedish aircraft quality aluminum chassis, etc.). Amplifier gain is 100% tube (JJ Tesla ECC83S and E88CC with gold pins, cryogenically treated). There is no feedback of any type in the amplifier stages. "Proudly designed in Canada," the Tulip is presently assembled in Serbia, but the plan is to bring production to Canada.

First published in 1977, Women, Crime and Criminology presents a feminist critique of classical and contemporary theories of female criminality. It addresses the issue that criminology literature has, throughout history, been predominantly male-oriented, always treating female criminality as marginal to the 'proper' study of crime in society. Carol Smart explores a new direction in criminology, and the sociology of deviance, by investigating female crime from a committed feminist position. Now available to buy as an ebook for the first time.

Let . Then, the squared 2-norm of the difference vector can be written as
where are defined as follows
Note that , and also that is a Gramian matrix, which means that is either positive definite or positive semidefinite. Therefore, function is convex in , and we conclude that the minimum exists.
The pair that minimizes the 2-norm is the same one that minimizes the squared 2-norm and, hence, we have the unconstrained quadratic program
which can be solved analytically. The gradient of the objective function must vanish at the minimum
and, hence, we have a linear system of two equations in two unknowns
If , then the system of equations has a single unique solution. However, if , there are infinitely many solutions. Let us consider both cases separately.
Non-parallel lines
If matrix is invertible, we obtain the unique minimizer . Thus, the minimum squared 2-norm of the distance vector is
Let . Then, and . Hence, we obtain
and, finally, the distance between lines and , , is the following
If direction vectors are linearly independent, i.e., the two given lines are non-parallel, then is invertible, and we have a unique minimizer. Intuitively, this makes sense.
Non-parallel lines
Suppose now that the direction vectors are linearly dependent, , where . This corresponds to the case where the two lines are parallel (or coincident). In this case
which is clearly non-invertible. The linear system of equations, , now has a redundant equation. Eliminating this redundant equation, we obtain an underdetermined system
which has infinitely many solutions. We have one equation and two unknowns, i.e., one degree of freedom. Let us choose . Hence, we obtain
Let . Note that represents an orthogonal projection along vector . Hence, a distance-minimizing difference vector would be
Note that this difference vector is not unique (there are infinitely many alternatives). Finally, we obtain the distance between the two parallel lines
If is singular and , we conclude that the two lines are coincident.
Here's a MATLAB script that computes the distance between two lines:
function d = dist(x0,y0,u,v) % extract dimension n = size(x0,1); % build P, Q matrices P = [u -v]; Q = P' * P; % build projection matrix Pi_u = (u * u') / (u' * u); % compute distance if det(Q) == 0 d = norm((eye(n,n) - Pi_u)*(x0-y0),2); else d = sqrt((x0-y0)'*(eye(n,n) - P*inv(Q)*P')*(x0-y0)); end

Sant Jaume de Frontanyà is an Augustinian monastery located in the centre of the town of the same name in the Berguedá region. It was built in the 11th century to take in the community of St Jaume Vell which was suffering due to the poor conditions in the upper part of the mountain.
Today, all that remains of the monastery is its church, consisting of a single nave, three apses, and a transept. The nave and transept arms have a barrel vault, and over the crossing is an octagonal dome that forms a 12-sided cupola on the exterior. It is the only one that remains from this period in Catalonia. On the exterior façade, over the entrance door, there is a porthole window. The square belfry above the main façade was rebuilt in 1572.
Location: In the village of Sant Jaume de Frontanyà.


text: The fourth stop on our tour of uninvited holiday guests is the bed bug. Do you have a college student complete with a carload of dirty clothes and a laptop coming home for the holidays? Do you have family members or friends traveling to visit with you who might have stayed in a hotel on their way to your house?The raise in bed bug population has been linked to the disappearance of DDT; however, there are many other factors that led to the surge of the bed bug population. We are a much more mobile society.People travel all over the world now all the time for business (global economy) and pleasure. In parts of the world bed bugs are an acceptable nuisance, like roaches (oh, I mean Palmetto Bug – they are nasty and we make a cute little name for the disease carrying, asthma causing uninvited guest), gnats and mosquitoes are here in the Lowcountry.Roach gel baits have also contributed to the rise in bed bugs.We have seen this in turf with a product that is great on mole crickets and fire ants. Kill the ants and mole crickets, but the grubs go unchecked increasing damage from grubs and moles.The roach gels do a fantastic job killing roaches, but do nothing to kill other pests. The homeowner, hotel operator, movie theater owner, nursing home, clothing store, etc stopped spraying in cracks and crevices to kill roaches and other insects as a bonus and just relied on the gel for roaches, giving the bed bug a chance to make a comeback.Bed bugs, as luck would have it, love the temperatures that we generally keep our homes (the low to mid 70's). They can be treated with heat (do not burn your house down), steam, and/or cold air.There are many organic products on the market, traps, mattress sealers, as well as chemical control products available to control this very illusive and persistent pest. A combination of methods and products is probably your best approach, or simply calling a pest management professional who has experience dealing with bed bugs.Dealing with bed bugs is expensive. In most cases you have to throw away furniture, mattresses, couches, clothes and other infested items. Watch picking up that nice chair on the side of the road, you might bring home some uninvited guests.Bed bugs can hide in strange places and even mobile places like a laptop computer. They are small and several can hide in something as small as a Phillips screw head. Inspection is crucial – again maybe a job for a pest management professional.It looks like this is going to be a multi-part topic.
