Getting married is one of the most special days in anyone's life. However, wedding-day mishaps can happen to any bride. You can avoid disaster with a well-stocked emergency kit. A carefully packed kit includes simple, everyday items and wedding-specific items, all of which can be a lifesaver to you or your guests when the time comes.
My Wedding Day Emergency Kit includes:
Tissue It will definitely be an emotional day! And if it's an outdoor wedding, it'll help wipe off sweat.
Make up and face powder To re-touch yourself during the celebration.
Band aid New wedding shoes can cause blisters.
Extra bobby pins To keep your hair neat.
Gum or breath mint Because you would not want dragon breath when small talking with all your guests!
Anti-bacterial or hand sanitizer After shaking hands with some of your guests.
Small sewing kit In case of a wardrobe malfunction.
Antacid You will never know when indigestion attacks.
Comb To fix unruly hair.
Small mirror To check on your make-up and hair once in awhile.
Contact lens lubricant/ solution (if you wear contacts). Dry eyes can be painful and irritating on such an important day.
Mosquito repellant (if you're outdoors) Simply because you don't want to be feasted on.
Sanitary napkin If it arrives unexpectedly.
The best type of maid of honor is one like a boy scout—always prepared. Have her keep your emergency kit within arm's reach. I also suggest preparing a smaller one for your groom, in case he has his own emergency.
It's always good to be prepared when you get hitched…so your wedding day can run smoothly without a "hitch."

InDesign all of a sudden is crashing with the following error:
"The network connection was lost for the file InDesign SavedData, or the file was modified by another process"
followed by:
Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents." (button) "Return to Finder"
"InDesign quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
Then I get the Adobe Crash Report.
Restarting InDesign gives the same results, both opening a file and opening the application directly.
I have trashed InDesign Preferences and tried throwing away the InDesign Recovery folder, but no change.
-InDesign CS5, ver 220.127.116.113
-iMac Core i7, OS 10.7.4
-I am not in a network environment—all InDesign documents are local.
-InDesign CS4 works okay.
Here is the the crash report: http://pastebin.com/1ZvvSJCa
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
I think it mightr be this: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/indesign-crashes-blank-dialog-boxes .html
Thanks Peter,
I tried all three solutions and InDesign still crashes with the same error messages.
I also tried the recovery function of OS X Lion (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718). It automatically installed 10.7.4.
InDesign still crashes and now Safari crashes with a "Safari quit unexpectedly" error.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I need to get things working again as I have client projects pending.
Will Mountain Lion solve these issues?
Many thanks,
I tried all three solutions and InDesign still crashes with the same error messages.
Your crash report indicates a protective shutdown:
Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
0 PublicLib.dylib 0x011a3fc7 ProtectiveShutdown::~ProtectiveShutdown() + 279
That means you should open ~/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version 7.0/en_us/InDesign Recovery/Protective Shutdown Log and see what it reports (you can also upload it to http://pastebin.com/) for more information.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I need to get things working again as I have client projects pending.
Quick tip is to create a new user account and see if the problem goes away.
Did you try Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences?
Thank you John.
Here is the link to the protective shutdown log:
I had manually deleted the preferences yesterday, but just tried the Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift route and that appears to have solved the problem! Apparently I didn't get everything on the manual delete.
A big Thank You! to you and Peter for the help. I appreciate it very much.
I will contact Apple r.e. the Safari problem as I still have Applecare.

March 9, 2014
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is asking for the public's help in locating deer suffering from a disease that's prevalent in warm weather.
The agency says epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD, can be fatal to deer, but humans are not at risk of catching it. It has been found every year in white-tailed deer across the southeastern U.S. since 1966.
The Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study Group tracks outbreaks of the disease. Fish and Wildlife says the public can help by reporting the locations of sick animals, who often gather around farm ponds and water. Infected animals will lose their appetites, drool excessively and lose fear of humans.
To allow the agency to gather samples from live animals, report sightings by calling (800) 858-1549 or emailing info.center(at)ky.gov.

Closing and Check Out Information
The school year is coming to an end and soon it will be time to check out of you residence hall or house. Please review the following information to prepare for closing.
12:00 Noon Saturday, May 18th:
Check-out deadline for first-year – junior residents not involved in graduation.
12:00 Noon Monday, May 20th:
Final check-out deadline for all remaining students except those who will be residing in on-campus summer housing.
Attend Your Floor Meeting
Every CA will schedule a closing meeting to discuss check-out procedures. Since these procedures vary somewhat from building to building, it's important that you attend or follow-up with your CA later.
CHECKOUT: You'll need to pre-schedule a room inspection appointment with your CA prior to your departure. Please clear your room of your belongings and make sure it's thoroughly cleaned. If you disagree with your CA's damage assessments, you'll have the opportunity to appeal to your AC in person or via email. However, this must be done BEFORE you leave campus.
Make Sure Your Room Is In Great Shape
Return your room to as close to its original condition as possible. While beds don't have to be lofted, they must be configured as a twin, bunk or loft for the convenience of the next user. Furniture should be wiped down (inside and out), wastebaskets emptied and floors swept and mopped. Tape, other adhesives, and their residue must be removed from inside the room, the door, and immediate hallway area. Brooms, dust pans and all-purpose cleaning products are available for checkout at every service desk.
For especially large items that are left in student rooms and corridors, a $100.00 charge will be assessed to cover costs necessary to employ a moving company to remove them.
How To Handle Damage Charges You Didn't Cause
If you and your roommate(s) mutually decide that a damage is the sole responsibility of just one of you, you should request a Damage Responsibility Form from your CA. The form must be signed by all room residents and should be submitted to your CA prior to your departure.
Keep the Hallways and Public Areas Clear
Any personal possessions left outside your room will be discarded.
Recycle and Donate! Designated recycle areas are located in every hall lobby for NON-PERISHABLE foodstuffs as well as for furnishings, CLEAN appliances, linens, and carpeting, and clothing. Collection centers are located in the Andreen, Erickson and Westerlin main lounges. Please do the right thing for the Quad Cities community as well as for our environment!
Pay Attention to Closing Trash Procedures
Most trash rooms will be locked to encourage disposal in the dumpsters outside the building. Our custodial staff thanks you for this extra effort, which will spare them many hours of additional work.
Respect Others
During finals, we expect that you'll be especially considerate of your roommate(s) and neighbors. Please respect finals quiet hours (May 13-17).
Other Reminders
Getting Permission to Stay Later: If you're not involved in graduation (as graduates or support staff) and wish to stay past noon on May 18th, you must seek permission from your AC. A $25.00/day fee, paid in advance, is required.
Conduct During Finals: Policy violations that occur after the completion of a resident's final exams will result in immediate dismissal from campus and doubled fines.
Laundry and ID Cards: Don't throw them away! Keep them in a safe place over the summer as you'll need them for next year.
Damage Fines: Individual room damages and common area damages (damages throughout the academic year to residential areas where the guilty party is not known) will be posted to your student bill a few weeks after closing.
Summer Residents: If you've applied for summer housing, you may stay in your current room until Friday 24 May. Please watch for emailed information informing you of the summer relocation process.
Storage: Please refer to the separate attachment or posters located at each hall service desk.
If you have any questions regarding check-out, don't hesitate to contact your CA, AC, or the Office of Residential Life (309.794.2686).

Today, I sat through several general sessions and panels at Digital Book World 2012. It was an enlightening experience for me, and several themes emerged over the course of the day.
Rather than talking about each session, and giving you a blippy blow-by-blow report, I'd like to talk about five major topics and give you my .02 on what I heard. If you want to see my exact notes from each session, they are here.
As Net Minds is more of a tech startup than a publishing concern, I came to the conference knowing no one. So my impressions aren't tarnished by my job, living in NYC or practicing inside the industry. Maybe that will differentiate this report from others you'll find at the event hashtag.
According to James McQuivey at Forrester, 15% of all book sales were digital in 2011, which is less than predicted at last year's events. He reported that 25 million people own an eReader and another 34 million have a tablet. There's some overlap, as with my household, but still – that's a big number.
During Kelly Gallagher's presentation, he revealed research from R.R. Bowker's ongoing surveys into consumer trends with eBooks. He suggested that 2010 saw 'hockey stick' adoption (exponential) but 2011 it slowed down to merely incremental. He suggested that the early adopters are reading digitally, but now the challenge is to find the mainstream market. He cited their survey's most amazing finding: 41% say they will never use an eReader, or if they do, it will be sporadically. Personally, I reject surveys like this, because often times the respondents are trying to make a point with their answers, and their answers are knee jerk. If you don't believe me, just read Innovator's Dilemma, where you'll discover that entire industries are disrupted because they asked customers what they wanted or what they planned to do – and then were brutally surprised by what eventually happened in the market.
What I do take away from all of this discussion is that the quality of eBooks needs to improve, from major publisher (conversion) to self-published author (content). There is a chance that eBooks could be to major house print books what the iTunes Apps are to Android (ghetto). There are genres where eBooks aren't yet making a big dent like Art, Cooking or non-fiction advice and business. But then again, we are early in this game, and one fact revealed by Gallagher is stunning: After using an eReader for 7-12 months, the consumer reduces print purchase to almost zero. Zero.
Over the last century, publishers have developed a core competency of managing retail accounts like Barnes and Noble. They have sales forces, cooperative marketing programs and in-store display teams that help authors book reach readers. With the closing of Borders and the reduction of BN's shelf-space, this game is up. With eBooks, there is unlimited shelf space BUT that also means that there are unlimited choices for consumers. So it's harder than ever for a book to break on through. This means that the new competency that publishers need to develop, and quickly, is driving discoverability.
To quote from Double Rainbow, 'what does this mean?' Publishers need to invest in people and partners that understand metadata, search engine optimization (down to the press release), semantics and social media monitoring. These are all new domains for them, and it's likely they'll bring in the nose ring crowd like their retail partners did ten years ago.
One point made by a publishing CEO that I must comment on: Best seller lists on Amazon or New York Times are great discoverability drivers. This is true, but this is an elitist play, where the list is clogged by deep-pockets list-gamers. You may not know this, but many non-fiction authors buy their way to the top of the lists via aggressive pre-order, self-purchase and strategically fulfilled distribution. That can't last forever.
Conference chair Mike Shatzkin makes a good point: In the past, pricing was a 'set it and forget it' practice. But now, with the advent of .99 cent books, publishers need to approach pricing eBooks very strategically. Historically, publishers used their print price to calculate their digital price, but with the advent of eFirst books (non-print), you have to start from scratch and you'd better be right! One panelist suggested that when a book is cheap, readers are often suspicious of the quality. Again, new core competencies for pricing will need to be developed. Read the book, The Price Of Everything for more insight into this quagmire.
During the intriguing "What Publishers Can Learn From Romance" panel, one point came up that bears discussion: Length of work VS price. Right now, it's hard for the consumer to know what they are buying in terms of length. With print, you could weigh it in your hand or examine the page count. One panelist said readers were guessing based on the file size (with non-DRM books, you can measure this, and according to the panel, that's 90% of the eBook romance market!). Publishers need to do a better job of marketing the value of the book. I would suggest they employ an equivalent page count metric or even indicate how many hours of reading the eBook offers.
The best session I attended was on Awareness Marketing. It included an all-star lineup of major publisher marketing executives. They all talked about the importance of author's having a platform – as publishers can't seem to build one themselves (except for the now-digital-only Domino Project).
Since traditional publishers now have a hole in their business model because of an 80 year tradition of returns (see my video: The Returns Problem), they can't afford midlist in the new economic reality. So they need to see a platform to get really excited about an author. Much like we've seen with the music industry, gone are the days of author development…really. Sure, if an author breaks out, major publishers will circle around them and help, but for those seeking their first deal, a great manuscript will get you the $10,000.00 if you buy 1000 of your books offer that's going around.
For authors, the takeaway is sobering: Invest 50% of your time building a following that's highly engaged. If you spend 100% of your time just writing great words, your proposal will likely be sniffed at by most houses.
Rick Joyce of Perseus talked about how they are investing in social media monitoring (great idea) to tap into big conversations around books, topics or interests. Using tools like Radian 6, they can sort through conversations for relevance and influence, and potentially achieve the equivalent of a big PR hit on NPR or the Today Show. He even employed a quote to describe this approach: "Saddle up your horses and ride to the gunfire."
If you'd like to listen to the entire session, you can download it here.
I'm not a techie, so I won't attempt to go too deep here except to say that work flow management is critical for publishers to make the leap from print to digital. After talking to a dozen people at the event, it is clear that XML proficiency and investments are critical to being scalable and successful in this domain. It's not easy to convert the Word document coming from editorial into the eBooks we are demanding as consumers. Backlist formats for print are just as tricky to convert. For several publishers, their first 'poor products' are eBooks, not because of content, but because of how their work flow is configured.
It's been a heady day, that's for sure, but exciting for anyone in the industry from author to publisher. I was happy to see that, unlike the music industry ten years ago, major publishers aren't trying to put the genie back in the bottle. Instead, they are sizing up the genie, as well as his likely growth over the next few years.

Less than an hour after Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) made spaceflight history by becoming the first commercial company ever to dock a spacecraft at the International Space Station, an independent aerospace model-making company based on BC's Sunshine Coast made history of its own.
SpaceX formally concluded signing a license agreement with Proach Models of Sechelt, BC that allows them to produce and sell scale-model replicas of the Falcon 9 rockets and Dragon spacecraft to the public. Proach Models has been producing these models exclusively for SpaceX since 2009.
"Space X is a great company to work with and we are very happy for their success this morning as they ushered in a new era of space exploration," Nick Proach says. "These are incredibly exciting times for the space industry and we look forward to working more closely with SpaceX as they continue to lead the way in commercial spaceflight." This marks the first time Proach Models has entered into such an agreement with an aerospace company.
The Falcon 9 rocket measures 178 feet tall – about the same as an 18-story office building. Proach Models will be offering three highly detailed replicas of the rocket: the Falcon 9 carrying the Dragon spacecraft, a Falcon 9 with a 17-foot fairing for unmanned launches, and the Falcon Heavy, a heavy-lift version. All models will be available in 1/72 scale and will measure 26-30 inches tall, depending on the version. Proach will also be offering 1/48 scale replicas of the Dragon spacecraft and the Falcon 1, SpaceX's first launch vehicle. (Dragon artist's conceptualization provided by SpaceX)

iPad 2 with latest iOS version
Main Router: NETGEAR WNDR3700v2
Wireless Access Point: Belkin N150
Printer: HP M1212nf Laser printer
When I walk downstairs and the iPad2 connects to the Belkin WAP, I lose connection to the Printer every single time. If I restart the iPad it will connect, but then it loses the printer connection again when I walk upstairs and connect to the main NETGEAR router.
Is tit a common issue to lose connection to the Airprint printer when moving between a wireless router and a WAP?
Is there anything I can do to correct this?

USB tethering isn't working for me. When I plug my phone into the computer, the USB Debugging and USB Storage notifications pop up, so it recognizes that it's plugged into the computer. However, when I switch the USB tethering option from "off" to "on," it says "USB not connected." Wireless Tether (version 2.0.7) works fine though.
This is my first time trying MIUI. I've used Liquid Gingerbread for a long time, but my phone's been freezing up about 1/3 of the time when receiving or answering calls. I tried CM 7, which didn't help and it was much slower at everything than Liquid Gingerbread (and less customizable). I thought that this could be an Android 2.3.7 issue, but I couldn't find anything else anywhere on the internet about this bug. Maybe my trusty Droid is finally starting to die.
I read that MIUI is way different than Liquid or CyanogenMod, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm really liking it! It's not quite as fast as Liquid Gingerbread (3.2), but it's faster than CM7 (7.1.0). I like how customizable and organized it is too.

Empire at War: Forces of Corruption Interview (PC)
Strategy Informer: Firstly, could you introduce yourself to our readers and let us know your role within Petroglyph?
Kevin Yu: Greetings Strategy Informer readers! My name is Kevin Yu, but I go by 'SAGEKING' on the forums and in games. I've been tasked with the job as the Community Manager for Petroglyph. Prior to taking up this job, I have been highly active in the RTS and MMORPG communities. Here at Petroglyph, we have developers that sincerely care for communicating with the fans about the same hobbies we share- video gaming. Also having many ex- Westwood Studios staff here, I know we have inherited many strong values of community support. Since I've started, I've been working towards bringing both gamers and developers together to build their own communities and pursue a unique path of community interaction between 'devs' and gamers.
Strategy Informer: Empire at War was the first game to be created by Petroglyph games, when did the idea of creating a Star Wars RTS game come into play?
Kevin Yu: The idea for Petroglyph to create a Star Wars RTS began from a conversation with LucasArts President Simon Jeffrey at E3 in 2003. The idea was to create an RTS game within the classic Star Wars period, but to incorporate epic space combat that was such a powerful part of the movies.
Strategy Informer: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption has been released around some parts of the globe; other places will be getting it very soon. Do you think the expansion will make the impact that you wanted it to?
Kevin Yu: The expansion definitely brings a whole lot of content to the table for an add-on pack. With over 40+ new units, various to maps and planets, a whole new faction which introduces completely different game play from Rebels and Empire, I believe the fans will be pleased. Furthermore, those that go as far to join the community will be excited with the amount of interaction there is going on right now.
Strategy Informer: What kind of support do you plan on giving the community now that the game has been released, is it likely we'll see some patches or other tools to help the community create maps and other files to extend the games life. If not, why has this decision been made?
Kevin Yu: If not? lol. I'm glad I don't have to answer that part. The guys here at Petroglyph are very committed to the community and listening to their opinions on how to make our games better. Over the past months, I have also been working very closely with Community Leaders to create events from tournaments to art contests to give fans opportunities to pursue their own unique interests relating to the expansion. The first Forces of Corruption patch is already in the works, along with the updated mod tools as well. Both releases should be out shortly if there are no unexpected delays. We understand the frustration of bugs or problems that plague games as gamers as well, thus we are all working very hard to address all such issues as a very high priority.
Strategy Informer: As a gamer, what's your favorite part of Empire at War: Forces of Corruption, what makes you proud to have helped create it and why is it game fans will want?
Kevin Yu: As a competitive gamer myself, I love the fact that there is a new faction. In terms of strategy, everyone knows two sides is very straight forward. It is easy to prepare for with practice. Three sides changes up the pace of the game, and the anticipation when going into a game, because you never know what you could be up against. A new side also forces a veteran player of Star Wars Empire at War to change their strategies to deal with all the new corrupt abilities. As a Star Wars fan, we are adding new lore to Star Wars! We are answering the questions about what the rest of the galaxy is doing during the Civil War between Empire and Rebels. I believe the traditional story has been told from various perspectives already, a new story that is still canon, was a breath of fresh air, and also opened the doors to adding a creative touch upon Star Wars Empire at War.
Strategy Informer: There must have been some very tricky parts to creating EAW and its expansion pack, what was the hardest part of development for the team?
Kevin Yu: This question would be best answered by our Forces of Corruption Producer and Designer a mini Development Wrap Up Video for Forces of Corruption at: http://www.petroglyphgames.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=630.
Strategy Informer: With Empire at War: Forces of Corruption now finished, you'll now be deciding on what to create next, could you tell us a bit about you future plans for Petroglyph? Is it likely you'll continue the EAW series or will you move onto another project?
Kevin Yu: We are currently working with SEGA on a new RTS game which is shaping up to definitely turn some heads when more information is released. As far as EAW, we have enjoyed working with LucasArts and the Star Wars IP, and are keeping all doors open for a future expansion or sequel.
Strategy Informer: We would like to thank the team for creating such an enjoyable title, we've really enjoyed playing EAW and are looking forward to seeing what you've done with FOC. As this will be our last question, is their anything you would like to say to the fans of Petroglyph?
Kevin Yu: Get involved in your interests and doors will open.
If you guys have any other questions or interests about Petroglyph games or the gaming industry in general, get involved in our community at: http://www.petroglyphgames.com/community. Video games are hot right now and we are always looking for superstars!

What were the most influential social movements and trends in the U.S. during the 1970s?
Topic: 1970's Lifestyles and Social Trends
What were the most influential social movements and trends in the U.S. during the 1970s?1 Answer | add yours
The rise and emergence of feminism in the 1970s is one of the most significant social movements. This trend helped to define the time period. The emergence of "the politics of empathy" was one of the most significant and transformative movements of the 1970s. Feminism changed every aspect of the social order. Families were fundamentally transformed as women explored new aspects of their identity that existed outside of the domestic realm. With the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, public policy reflected the emergence of this social reality. Women were able to appropriate control over their own bodies and, in the process, helped to transform public discourse. This same discussion extended into the Equal Rights Amendment, and legislative action that ensured equality between the genders. The social trend of feminism helped to transform what society could be and helped to expand such possibilities.
Interestingly enough, an equally dominant social trend of the time period was the decrease in radicalism that had emerged in the previous decade. The election of Richard Nixon as well as the rise of "the silent majority" did much to reduce the radical thought that has defined the 1960s. Americans were feeling the crunch of an economic crisis in the 1970s, which did much to dampen or decrease the hopeful notion that radicalism of the 1960s. The 1970s featured a perception that America, as a nation, was losing control. Crime spiraled upwards, cities became intense reservoirs of blight and neglect, and Americans felt more unsafe about the world and their place in it. In 1976, fictional newscaster Howard Beale captured this essence of what defined 1970s. His words in the film Network went very far in expressing a dominant social trend that rebelled against the unifying and collection radicalism of the previous decade:
We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be! We all know things are bad -- worse than bad -- they're crazy.It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone."
Beale's speech serves as a reminder that the 1970s featured a dominant social trend that decreased radical thought that sought transformation of the world and the individual's place in it. This rejection of radicalism asserted a quality of negative freedom, a condition that stressed the only potential for happiness existed in being left alone.

Dr. Thompson is an Assistant Professor, Dr. Sickler is a Clinical Assistant Professor, and Dr. Chen is an Associate Professor and Chief of Ultrasound, Department of Radiology University of Texas Medical School--Houston, Houston, TX.
The prevalence of Down's syndrome during the second trimester has risen in the last three decades due to an increasing number of births in women older than the age of 35. In 1997, the prevalence had increased to 1 in 504 births, 1 or approximately 0.2%; it continues to be the most common chromosomal abnormality among newborns. Screening protocols for fetal Down's syndrome have advanced simultaneously, improving detection in both high-risk and low-risk populations. Most recent advances relate to the first trimester examination, with an emphasis on nuchal translucency (NT). Second trimester sonographic screening has also improved with recognition of structural and nonstructural abnormalities and incorporation of the presence or absence of such findings to modify the risk of fetal Down's syndrome.
With recent advances in technology, first trimester sonography can now detect, or at least suggest, many structural abnormalities. However, structural abnormalities in the first trimester are identified much more commonly in trisomies 18 and 13 than in trisomy 21 1 The focus of first trimester screening for Down's syndrome is rather on fetal NT.
Nicolaides et al 2 introduced the term "nuchal translucency" to describe the collection of fluid under the skin behind the neck of fetuses between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation (Figure 1). An increase in this fluid is seen in chromosomally abnormal fetuses, most commonly trisomy 21, and has since been recognized to be a useful sonographic marker for the detection of fetal Down's syndrome in the first trimester. 1,3 Its relatively low false-positive rate further enhances its screening potential. The origin of the fluid is unknown, and maybe multifactorial. It is thought to be possibly linked to cardiac dysfunction, venous congestion, lymphatic abnormality, altered extracellular matrix, or other unknown causes. 4
A reproducible specific method for measurement of NT is very important, as the variation of measurement between abnormal and normal is so small. The Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) has established standardized technical guidelines for the correct measurement of NT (also available online at: http:// www.fetalmedicine.com). 4 It has also developed a training and accreditation program. Using this protocol, NT can be measured reproducibly in approximately 95% of cases transabdominally, with transvaginal scanning required in the remaining 5%. The criteria used to obtain uniform results are as follows: 1) good sagittal section of the fetus with a crown-rump length between 45 and 84 mm; 2) gestational age of 11 to 13 6/7 weeks; 3) magnification such that the fetus occupies at least three-quarters of the image and measurements are accurate to 0.1 to 0.2 mm; 4) measurement performed in neutral position, as flexion may decrease measurements and hyperextension may increase measurements; 5) visualization of the amnion separate from the fetal skin, and 6) correct placement of calipers from the inner to inner line. 4
Multiple studies of NT have been performed. Souter and Nyberg 1 cite 16 studies, with most early studies using a cut-off of 3.0 mm and most recent studies using gestational-agespecific thresholds for a positive result. 1 The sensitivity rate for the detection of trisomy 21 varied from 28.6% to 90.3%. However, many of these studies did not implement strict criteria and quality control. A large study of approximately 100,000 cases from the FMF published in 1998 by Snijders and collegues 3 reported a sensitivity rate for trisomy 21 of 82.2% with a false-positive rate of 8.3% using their established criteria. Subsequent studies have obtained similar results. 3
The normal range for NT measurements is gestational age dependent. The 95th percentile increases from 2.2 mm at a crown-rump length of 38 mm to 2.8 mm at 84 mm. 1,5 As such, NT measurements are usually expressed relative to gestational age or crown-rump length and positive results reported as >95th percentile, multiple of the median, or a delta value. These values can then be combined with maternal age to calculate a risk for trisomy 21.
During the second trimester, NT in both karyotypically normal and abnormal fetuses usually resolves or, in a few cases, evolves into either nuchal edema or cystic hygromas with or without generalized hydrops. 6,7 Fetuses with abnormally increased NT measurements and normal chromosomes are still at risk for structural abnormalities, especially major cardiac defects, and a variety of genetic conditions. The risk increases with increasing NT and subsequent fetal echocardiography has been advised. 8-10
Structural abnormalities
Although structural abnormalities are common with trisomies, they are less often seen sonographically in trisomy 21, and are usually identified in <25% of fetuses with trisomy 21. 11,12 Major structural abnormalities associated with second trimester Down's syndrome include cardiac defects, cystic hygroma (Figure 2), duodenal atresia (Figure 3), and hydrops (Figure 4).
Cardiac defects such as ventricular septal defect (Figure 5) and endocardial cushion defect are commonly associated with Down's syndrome clinically and pathologically. However, these are particularly difficult to detect sonographically, especially at the routine screening age of 16 to 20 weeks. Even at 24 weeks, an optimal gestational age for sonography, with prior knowledge of karyotype, Paladini et al 13 detected only approximately one half of cardiac defects. Nyberg 14 also reports low detection rates of cardiac defects of <10% in fetuses with Down's syndrome. Using less specific cardiac findingssuch as right-to-left chamber disproportion, pericardial effusion and tricuspid regurgitation--Devore 15 identified cardiac abnormalities in 76% of affected fetuses. However, in practice, without prior knowledge of karyotype, there appears to be a low sensitivity for detection of cardiac defects in trisomy 21 with sonography.
Sonographic markers
In addition to structural abnormalities, nonstructural findings, or sonographic markers, are important findings in trisomy 21. These sonographic markers are seen most often in normal fetuses, are nonspecific, are often transient, and by themselves do not alter fetal outcome. Their significance varies with the specific marker, increases with multiplicity of markers identified, and is interpreted most accurately with maternal age and other clinical variables. The most commonly recognized sonographic markers associated with trisomy 21 are nuchal thickening, hyperechoic bowel, echogenic intracardiac focus, short femur or humerus, and renal pyelectasis. Other proposed markers include widened pelvic angle, small ears, clinodactyly, shortened frontal lobes, small cerebellum, pericardial effusion, and others. 14
Of these, nuchal thickening has the highest association with Down's syndrome. Benacerraf et al 16 first described this important second trimester marker as abnormal thickening of the soft tissues in the back of the fetal occiput. This is measured in the transverse plane at the level of the cerebellum with the view including the cerebellum, posterior fossa, and the occipital bone (Figure 6). It is measured from the outer edge of the occipital bone to the outer edge of the fetal skin. 17 A measurement >5 mm is considered abnormal. 18,19 This measurement appears to vary with gestational age, however, and age-specific criteria may be used to establish relative risk in the future. 14 This finding generally resolves with time, but its transient nature does not deter from its initial significance.
Echogenic bowel is another nonspecific marker that has been found in fetuses with aneuploidy (Figure 7). However, it is also seen in multiple other conditions, including bowel atresia, meconium ileus, thalassemia, intra-amniotic bleed, congenital infection, and intrauterine growth retardation. 20-22 A grading classification has been established for echogenic bowel: grade 1--mildly echogenic and often diffuse; grade 2--moderately echogenic and often focal; and grade 3--very echogenic, equivalent to bone. Both grade 2 and grade 3 have been associated with aneuploidy, with a higher risk associated with grade 3. 22 Care must be taken in grading the echogenicity of bowel, as the echogenicity of normal bowel increases with increasing transducer frequency.
Echogenic intracardiac foci are a much-debated soft sonographic marker. They represent calcification of the papillary muscle and are seen best when the cardiac apex is pointed toward the transducer. 23 They are observed in 3% to 4% of normal fetuses. 24 Multiple studies yield conflicting conclusions as to the association of echogenic intracardiac foci with trisomy 21. However, multiple, large, or unusually conspicuous foci appear to carry a greater risk. 14
Skeletal abnormalities associated with trisomy 21 include short proximal long bones. However, there is a large overlap between trisomy 21 and normal fetuses, and variations may be related to gestational age and ethnicity. A shortened humerus appears to be a more specific indicator for trisomy 21 than a shortened femur. Abnormalities are recognized from expected measurement based on the biparietal diameter at the time of the examination rather than the gestational age. The ratio of the measured femur/humerus length to the expected length is calculated. A measure:expected ratio of <0.90 for humerus length was found in 50% of afflicted fetuses by Benacerraf. 25 Commonly utilized cutoffs included ratios of <0.90 for a short humerus and <0.91 for a short femur. These numbers may also change as investigators further establish likelihood ratios.
Renal pyelectasis is a measure of the fluid-filled fetal renal pelvis in the anteroposterior dimension on a transverse image of the kidneys (Figure 8). The commonly used cutoffs are 3 or 4 mm. Pyelectasis is also seen commonly in normal fetuses and may be related to the degree of maternal hydration, other genitourinary abnormalities, or fetal bladder distention. 26,27 Nyberg et al 14 observed pyelectasis in 3% of normal fetuses. Corteville et al 28 reported an incidence of pyelectasis in 17.4% of fetuses with Down's syndrome and 2% in the normal population.
The importance of each of these findings lies not in isolation, but in interpretation with all the sonographic findings, the maternal age, and biochemical markers, to yield a more accurate risk assessment for trisomy 21. The genetic sonogram is such an assessment of sonographic abnormalities used to modify the risk of Down's syndrome, either up or down for each fetus. Multiple scoring systems for sonographic findings have been proposed. Benacerraf and colleagues 29,30 derived an excellent scoring index assigning 1 or 2 points for certain ultrasound findings, with a structural anomaly or nuchal thickening assigned 2 points; and with short humerus, short femur, hyperechoic bowel (grade 3), echogenic intracardiac focus, and pyelectasis each assigned 1 point. Maternal age >= 35 years also can be assigned 1 point. A score of 2 or more can result in a sensitivity of 75.5% and a false-positive rate of 5.7% for the detection of Down's syndrome. 29,30 Amniocentesis is usually offered with a score of 2 or more. Nyberg and colleagues 31,32 have also derived an excellent method of integrating sonographic findings into prior maternal risk by an age-adjusted ultrasound risk assessment. Sonographic markers are expressed as likelihood ratios weighted by their individual importance, and the mother's prior risk based on age is modified by these likelihood ratios to obtain a post-ultrasound risk, or post prior risk. This system helps minimize false-positive rates while providing a patient-specific risk estimate.
Both first and second trimester ultrasound screening for Down's syndrome has made dramatic advances in recent years. It remains to be seen if one will prove more effective than the other, or a combination of the two will become the future standard in trisomy 21 screening. AR

As much as I hate the idea of one of these big names (Apple/Google) owning everything, I really do wish there was just one browser for us all to develop on.
At least get rid of Internet Explorer completely. That alone would increase web creativity by a few thousand percent!
But if you got rid of Internet Explorer 6, what would Envato Devs USE !!!

Oh man, I just feel like the bugs are going to come rolling in when this happens, a completely new rendering engine in one of the most used browsers, that sad thing is that so many users won't know that this is happening, so in the 'teething' period where everyone is having to basically test 'blink' on production sites, any blink users will be thinking that quite a few sites are bugged.
Or is there an open beta that we can get onto that I'm being too stupid to see?

What they want to change: http://www.chromium.org/blink#architectural-changes
Looks to be a good evolution. Maybe in the future Webkit engine will move to this new fork.
so wll it be … -blink-box-shadow etc
Opera is such a follower…
Perhaps not long from now, Apple will be the only one still using WebKit for Safari? Since it'll probably continue to be an iOS / Mac OS only browser, it's relevance might be further jeopardized?
Too bad Apple won't likely let Google use Blink in iOS. We're forever stuck with an skinned Chrome imposter.

(KLTV) - At your nearest Abercrombie & Fitch, you can find shirtless salesmen and the latest distressed denim but, if you're looking for a women's extra-large blouse you're out of luck. The trendy retailer's CEO doesn't want your business."He's been very successful so he doesn't want anybody in the store that doesn't fit that cool young and sexy definition."Robin Lewis is co-author of the New Rules of Retail. He says it's all part of CEO Mike Jeffries' master plan to cultivate what he considers cool. A visit to the Abercrombie flagship store in New York revealed there were no size 14's, the average woman's size in America, in the store. After scanning multiple shelves and racks, mostly double-zeros and extra-smalls were found and a couple of large tops and size 10 pants, sales people there confirmed: Abercrombie doesn't carry XL or XXL for women. A spokes person for Abercrombie & Fitch declined to comment, but in a 2006 interview CEO Jefferies told salon magazine: "We go after the attractive All-American kid a lot of people don't belong in our clothes, and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? absolutely."But Lewis says it's a model that may not fit the future. Plus sized shoppers now make up 67% of consumers. I think the young people today want cool, but as they define it themselves from Dove's real beauty campaign - highlighting real women - to H&M's inclusion of plus sized swimsuit model Jennie Runk, many other brands are embracing that individualism. And making their clothes more accessible. For example rival retailers H&M and American Eagle both carry sizes up to 16 and 18 the largest at Abercrombie & Fitch? A size 10.

[JURIST] Executives from several Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and broadband internet service providers urged the US House of Representatives [PDF witness list] on Tuesday to pass HR 3914 [draft materials], a bill that would make it harder for companies to avoid Federal Communications Commission (FCC) [official website] anti-competitive practice rules. Under current rules [FCC materials], if a telecom company files a petition to be exempted from an FCC competition-related rule, the exemption is typically granted by default unless the FCC explicitly denies the request. The result, according to the broadband and VoIP companies, is that traditional phone companies can effectively obstruct competitors' access to consumers and maintain de-facto service monopolies. An identical bill [S 2469 materials] is being considered by the Senate. AP has more.The testimony came before the US House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet [official website], chaired by Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) [official website]. At the center of of the witnesses' complaints was the so-called "last mile" of service - local telephone poles and other systems that are owned by traditional phone companies and deliver internet, cable, and phone service directly to customers' homes. Despite rules that prohibit them from excluding competitors from utilizing these government-subsidized systems, non-traditional telecom companies say [press release] the so-called "Baby Bells" have disconnected copper phone lines they depend upon, and charge exorbitant rates for the addition of competing, non-cable broadband wires.
[JURIST] The Canadian Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) [official website] announced Monday that it appealed a Federal Court [court website] decision in which the Court found that certain notes, records and correspondence generated by government ministers and their staff are not subject to public access under the Access to Information Act [text]. In Canada (Information Commissioner) v. Canada (National Defence) [opinion text], the Federal Court held that the only records and correspondence in ministers' offices that are subject to the Act are those that can be requested and obtained by a deputy minister or senior official to deal with departmental matters. The OIC said in a press release [text]:
The court ruled that records in ministers offices are not subject to disclosure under the Act, apart from certain records deemed to be under the departments control. The criterion set by the court for establishing which records fall into this category is that they can be requested and obtained by the Deputy Minister or by senior officials to deal with departmental matters. The Information Commissioners position is that this criterion leaves the determination of which records come under the control of the department open to interpretation and could severely limit the scope of the Access to Information Act. In the Commissioners view, a record generated or obtained by a Minister, or on his behalf, relating to the administration of their department, is subject to the Act regardless of where the record is located.
[JURIST] The China Ministry of Commerce [official website, English version] said Tuesday that Chinese officials disagreed with and could challenge a World Trade Organization (WTO) panel report [materials; conclusions and recommendations, PDF] which states that the country illegally taxes and disfavors imported auto parts. The US, EU, and Canada [WTO dispute summaries] submitted complaints in March, alleging that China was taxing auto parts imported from those countries at the same rate that it taxed foreign-made finished cars in violation of promises made upon accession to the WTO and in violation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994) [text]. The panel recommended Friday in its report that the WTO Dispute Settlement Body [official website] "request China to bring these inconsistent measures as listed above into conformity with its obligations under the GATT 1994 and the WTO Agreement," but Chinese officials maintain that the country's policies are in line with its obligations. AP has more.Since its accession to the WTO in December 2001, China has been the subject of a number of complaints, most prominently disputes with the US regarding the protection of US intellectual property from piracy in China. China has also initiated two disputes with the US in the WTO over anti-dumping laws and US steel tariffs. In April 2007, China denounced a US decision to file a copyright enforcement case against China in the WTO [JURIST reports]. In August 2007, the US requested WTO mediation [JURIST report] in the same copyright dispute.
[JURIST] The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy website] filed a lawsuit [complaint, PDF; press release] Monday in Alabama's Montgomery County Circuit Court, challenging an Alabama law that prevents some convicted felons from voting. A 2003 amendment to the state constitution [text] says that felons convicted of "crimes of moral turpitude" are ineligible to vote, and specifies 15 qualifying crimes. Alabama Attorney General Troy King [official website] put forth a list of additional crimes that would bar voting in 2005, and the ACLU alleges that his action was in violation of the state constitution, which only allows the legislature to make such designations. The lawsuit seeks to restrict disenfranchising crimes to only those listed by the legislature. AP has more. The New York Times has additional coverage.In February, the ACLU filed a lawsuit [JURIST report] in federal court challenging a Tennessee state law that requires convicted felons to pay "all outstanding legal financial obligations" before their voting rights are restored. The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee [official website], alleges that such a financial burden violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment [LII text] by "discriminat[ing] among citizens on the basis of wealth."
[JURIST] Louisiana state prosecutors on Monday petitioned [PDF text] the US Supreme Court to reconsider its June decision in Kennedy v. Louisiana [Duke Law backgrounder; JURIST report], where it found that imposing the death sentence for child rape where the victim was not killed constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. The Court had noted in that ruling that very few states had such laws and that - incorrectly - there were no federal laws allowing the punishment for rape, but lawyers for Louisiana argued in their bid for rehearing that a 2006 amendment to the Uniform Code of Military Conduct [LII materials] does in fact allow the death penalty at court-martial for rape and child rape. It is highly unusual for the Court to agree to such petitions, but Louisiana lawyers say a review is warranted because of that oversight. AP has more. The New York Times has additional coverage.The US Department of Justice said earlier this month that it had mistakenly failed to brief the Supreme Court [JURIST report] on the existence of the military law [PDF text] allowing capital punishment for child rape before the court decided the case. The oversight was first raised [CAAFlog post] by a civilian Air Force lawyer in his blog on military justice. The Supreme Court's holding reversed a 2007 decision [PDF text] by the Supreme Court of Louisiana.
[JURIST] A Serbian prosecutor said on Tuesday that the government plans to extradite Bosnian Serb leader and former fugitive Radovan Karadzic [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] to the Hague to face an International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official site] war crimes indictment [text]. Karadzic was originally indicted by the court in 1995, but had been in hiding under an assumed identity until his arrest Monday [JURIST report]. Karadzic's defense has three days to appeal the extradition, but if unsucessful, he will be sent to the Netherlands where counsel will be appointed and he will be given the opportunity to enter a plea on the charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Karadzic is accused of being involved in the Srebrenica [JURIST news archive] massacre and other crimes against Bosnian Muslims and Croats during ethnic conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. His capture has been a major goal of the ICTY [press release], and follows the June arrest [JURIST report] of former Bosnian Serb police commander Stojan Zupljanin [Trial Watch profile]. The Herald has more. The Guardian has additional coverage.ICTY Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz [ICC profile; JURIST report] has long criticized Serbia for its seeming reluctance to cooperate with the ICTY, exemplified by its failure to find and capture [JURIST report] the remaining war crimes suspects. Brammertz took over the prosecution's leadership in January, saying that he would continue his predecessor's tough stance on Serbian cooperation [JURIST report] with the tribunal. The EU has made Serbia's cooperation with the ICTY a key element of its membership negotiations [EU accession materials]. Brammertz has vowed to try all war crimes suspects [JURIST report] before the expiration of the ICTY's mandate in 2010.
[JURIST] Myanmar Foreign Minister Nyan Win has called for the newly-established Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) [official website] to refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of ASEAN member nations. The comments, made during a Monday meeting to organize the new ASEAN human rights committee, indicate that Myanmar [JURIST news archive] may block attempts to give the new body any authority to investigate alleged human rights violations. Other member states reportedly objected to the restrictions on the committee, which critics note already lacks authority [JURIST report] to issue sanctions against member states which violate human rights. AP has more.Myanmar signed on [ceremony speech; JURIST report] to a new ASEAN charter Monday, despite other ASEAN members' criticism [statement text] of the country's human rights record and continued detention of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi [BBC profile; JURIST news archive]. The charter [PDF text] was designed to create stronger economic and security ties within the region, and Article 14 establishes a body to monitor human rights in member countries. Myanmar's inclusion in the in charter has long been controversial [JURIST report] because of its human rights record..
[JURIST] New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo [official profile] wrote in a letter [text, PDF] Monday that his office would bring legal action within five days against Comcast Cable Communications [corporate website] unless the company agrees to block child pornography websites and strengthen its reporting requirements. Verizon, Time Warner Cable, and Sprint agreed to block access to the sites in June, promising to eliminate any such sites hosted on their servers under Cuomos's so-called "Code of Conduct." Earlier this month, AT&T and AOL signed similar agreements [press releases]. Last week, Comcast agreed to different terms [press release] to limit the spread of online child pornography, but Cuomo said that they were too weak and criticized Comcast for its refusal to sign his agreement:
Because the possession or distribution of child pornography is both a federal and state felony, it is not protected by the first amendment. I have crafted the Code of Conduct each of these companies has signed as narrowly as possible to ensure that the actions they volunteer to take are surgically directed at only that felonious material and not at any protected content. Despite both the groundswell of corporate concern and action to reduce the supply of child pornography and the narrowly tailored provisions of the Code of Conduct, Comcast has remained on the sidelines.
[JURIST] Thai and Cambodian officials agreed Monday that neither country will use military force against the other in their dispute over the border area surrounding the Preah Vihear temple [Telegraph backgrounder], over which both countries claim ownership. The meeting was designed to resolve the major border dispute issues, but the sides made no further agreements because Thai officials want to employ US cartography [TNA report], while Cambodian officials want French materials to be controlling because they mark the border at a different place. Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) [official website] Minister for Foreign Affairs George Yeo said [statement text] of the meeting:
Thailand and Cambodia gave the assurance that they would exercise utmost restraint and resolve the issue amicably in the spirit of ASEAN solidarity and good neighbourliness. Both sides also reiterated that they would handle the situation in accordance with their ASEAN and international obligations.
[JURIST] Navy Capt. Keith Allred, the judge presiding over the military commission trial of Salim Ahmed Hamdan [DOD materials; JURIST news archive], ruled [text, PDF] Monday that Hamdan is not entitled to the protection against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution [text]. In the same order, Allred also barred evidence obtained in Afghanistan immediately after Hamdan's capture there in 2001 because of the "highly coercive" conditions of his detention. Hamdan pleaded not guilty to charges [charge sheet] of conspiracy and providing material support to terrorism at the beginning of the trial Monday at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. Hamdan is the first so-called "enemy combatant" to be tried by a military commission at Guantanamo. Ruling against Hamdan's right to protection under the Fifth Amendment, Allred wrote:
In summary, the commission finds that (1) the accused has been found to be an unlawful enemy combatant by a full, fair, open and adversarial hearing; (2) that the site of his apprehension and detention, in the Court's own words "is a factor that weighs against a finding that he has rights under the [Constitution]"; (3) there are substantial practical arguments against applying the 5th Amendment "with full force and effect" in Guantanamo Bay; (4) that the alternative remedy Congress has provided, is considerably less protective than the 5th Amendment but is consistent with the minimal protections guaranteed to unlawful combatants under Common Article 3; (5) that there is no necessity for the 5th Amendment to prevent injustice, and (6) that application of the 5th Amendment in Guantanamo Bay would be anomalous in some respects. The preponderance of these factors analyzed weigh against the application of the 5th Amendment in Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court has expressly disclaimed extraterritorial application of the 5th Amendment as recently as 1990 "The claim that extraterritorial aliens are entitled to rights under the 5th Amendment has been emphatically rejected."[citation omitted]

How helpful are BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic tests in identifying women at risk?
Comment on this
Read 1 Comment
In special circumstances, genetic tests can be very helpful both in identifying exceptionally high-risk patients and reducing the level of concern for others. We also now know that the presence of one of these genetic defects does not cause cancer in every patient. Before genetic tests are conducted, individuals being tested must have thorough counseling. A clear understanding of the limitations of the tests and the problems they may pose must precede the testing. The patient must know the meaning of the possible results, whichever way they may turn out, before testing. They should also have settled on a plan for each possible outcome of the test results. Often, the best way to evaluate a potential genetic risk is to test a relative who has already been diagnosed with breast cancer. If the relative's genetic testing (which must cover a large number of possible mutations) proves negative, then there is no need to perform genetic testing on the concerned individual. But the concerned individual should still undergo close monitoring with breast examinations and mammograms. If the test is positive on the relative, then that specific mutation is the only one that needs to be checked in the concerned individual and the other family members. What is the link between estrogen and breast cancer?Estrogen is a female hormone that is produced by the ovaries. During the reproductive years, a woman's body is exposed to high levels of estrogen. After menopause, the production of estrogen by the ovaries decreases. Estrogen is sometimes prescribed to treat some of the problems often associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleeplessness, and vaginal dryness. Estrogen has the additional benefit of prevention of bone thinning (osteoporosis). However, results from a large clinical trial of postmenopausal women receiving hormone therapy (HT) released in 2002 showed that the overall risks of estrogen plus progestin therapy outweighed the benefits of hormone therapy. Combined hormone therapy with estrogen and progestin was shown to increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and blood clots. High levels of estrogen over long periods also increase the risk of developing breast and uterine cancers. Estrogen stimulates the cells of the breast and the uterine lining to grow and divide. Breast cells that are actively dividing are believed to have a greater chance of DNA damage as well as a higher number of cells that already have DNA damage. A higher number of cells with DNA damage elevate the risk of cancer development. Women who have an early onset of their menstrual period (or menses) and late menopause are more likely to develop breast cancer than women with late menses onset and early menopause. This difference is believed to be attributable to the longer period of estrogen exposure in the first group. Medically Reviewed by a Doctor on 9/25/2013 Patient CommentsViewers share their comments
