OMAHA, NE (OMAHA POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION/CNN) - Police union draws fire over swearing toddler 'thug' video.
The child, along with three other children, has been taken into protective services, according to a statement on the Omaha Police Facebook page.
The Child Victim Unit determined no crimes had been committed, but investigators say they found safety concerns.
The video shows a toddler wearing a diaper, bombarded with obscenities and racial slurs by the adults around him. Then coached to respond with profanity.
They seem irritated over a fallen chair.
"You a [expletive], [expletive]."
"You a [expletive], [expletive]. You throwin' a fit right now, little [expletive]?"
"Better pick this chair up [expletive]."
The child then flips his middle finger at the camera.
The toddler exchanges at least 35 swear words with the adults in video.
They discuss sexual matters, even apparent gang affiliations.
The video was posted on the website of the Omaha Police Officers Association, which says, "We have an obligation to share it to continue to educate the law abiding public about the terrible cycle of violence and thuggery that some young innocent children find themselves helplessly trapped in."
"When you see a child being treated like this, who can't really defend themselves, an innocent child," said John Wells, president of Omaha Police Officers Association. "Unfortunately though, it's something, as police officers, we see that is all too common."
Commenters on the police union's website objected to what some saw as racial overtones in posting the video.
"This behavior is going to potentially lead this child down a path that is completely unhealthy. It has nothing to do with race or ethnicity," Wells said. "The whole point to posting this video was to show, again, the depth of the problem, so people realize this type of thing does happen in Omaha, NE, and we can start to address these very serious issues."
Omaha's Chief of Police Todd Schmaderer released a statement saying the department has no control over the content of the police union's website, and the chief "Strongly disagree[s] with any postings that may cause a divide in our community."

Where Would You Relocate for a Job?
By Prashant Gopal, BusinessWeek.com
Nov 25th, 2008
Imagine you were offered a dream job that required you to relocate to your favorite city. Which city would it be? And why?
If you're like most Americans, you might select New York, San Diego, or San Francisco, according to a soon-to-be released survey of 2,500 employees and entrepreneurs across the nation by the Human Capital Institute, a Washington-based think tank and professional association largely made up of human resources professionals.
As the economy softens, this becomes more of a pressing issue because many Americans will find that they may be forced to relocate to find work. But even though some workers may not have the luxury of choice, some cities remain more desirable than others.
Favorite, Least Favorite? New York, New York
Interestingly, New York, which seems to evoke strong feelings in people, also topped the list of America's least favorite places to live and work. Survey-takers who like the Big Apple gave it high marks for entertainment options, professional and personal opportunities, and ease of transportation. Workers who don't like it overwhelmingly point to the high cost of living.
Detroit, which has seen its image only worsen with the collapsing auto industry, was the second-least appealing city, followed by Los Angeles (also No. 5 on the best cities list) and New Orleans.
"People have a love-hate relationship with New York," said Allan Schweyer, the industry group's executive director. "There are still people who think New York isn't part of the United States....There are people who might think that even if they were offered their dream job in New York, they don't want to go from a 3,000-square-foot house in the suburbs to a 1,200-square-foot apartment."
Leading Factors: Environment, Affordability
The survey is part of the professional organization's 2009 National Talent Markets report, which is meant to help cities determine how to improve and properly market themselves to attract talented out-of-town workers. The most important issue for workers in determining where to relocate is environment, including climate and park space, according to the survey.
Affordability, which was No. 4 in last year's list, is now the second-most important attribute workers consider before relocating, thanks to the economic downturn. Affordability might have something to do with the fact that Las Vegas, where home prices have fallen faster than in most cities, climbed to fourth place on this year's list of America's favorite cities.
Companies often have trouble recruiting out-of-state talent because people-especially older professionals-simply don't like to move. The slumping real estate market has made it even more difficult for many homeowners to move because they can't easily sell their homes. According to the survey, 65% of responders said they were satisfied with the city area where they live now and 67% said they are unlikely to move within the next five years. The most mobile workers are in their mid-20s to mid-30s, have a degree or an advanced degree, earn more than $100,000 a year, and work in science and technology, media and entertainment, or professional services, the report said.
Image Is Also a Part of It
Scott Simmons is vice-president and founding partner of Crist|Kolder Associates, an executive recruiting firm in Chicago, said it's easier to find workers willing to move to big cities such as New York, Chicago, or San Francisco than it is to convince people to move to a midsize city such as Erie, Pa., which is a one-hour 45-minute drive from either Pittsburgh or Cleveland. People on the coasts, especially in California, are reluctant to move, he said. And workers often would rather not move to cold rust-belt cities such as Cleveland, Detroit, and Buffalo, he said.
"Perception is a big deal when it comes to places," said Simmons, adding that it's important to have candidates visit the city before making a decision. "Everybody has preconceived notions.... Everybody thinks Chicago is Siberia when it comes to late fall and winter."
Detroit is a particular challenge, especially now that companies like General Motors (GM) are on the brink of bankruptcy. The city, which also suffers from crime and poverty, is still a one-industry town and could do more to diversify its economy, Simmons said.
Jane Howze, managing director of The Alexander Group, a national executive search firm headquartered in Houston, said workers who are flexible about relocating have a strong advantage in this economy.
"These are times where we're all asked to do more challenging things than we did a year ago," Howze said. "The winners are the ones that step up and do that.... Maybe you take that job and make it a better place than when you got there."
The Almighty Allah says,
"When a servant thinks of Me, I am near.
When he invokes Me, I am with him.
If he reflects on Me in secret, I reply in secret,
And if he acknowledges Me in an assembly,
I acknowledge him in a far superior assembly."

Can anyone please mention steps to secure a job in Saudi if one has 8 years of IT experience, and without a blue passport ?
For UAE its like this: Get a 2 month visit visa which costs like $ 300 => fly to uae => start finding job => live with your friends to save money => if job is found do an in-out or rather out-in from and into uae, otherwise repeat the whole process again.

Important Quotations
From forth the loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows,
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife. (Opening Prologue)
From the play's opening prologue we can garner the events of the play in a nutshell. The ill-fated union of Romeo and Juliet will result in their (and others) deaths, but with this will come an end to the ancient feud between the Montagues and Capulets.
My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me,
That I must love a loathed enemy (I, v)
Juliet speaks with her nurse after meeting Romeo at the conclusion of Act I. She remarks that she fell in love with Romeo right away, and only later discovered that he is a Montague ("known too late"). This quote highlights the heart of the theme in the play: the "star-crossed" lovers.
Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night (III, ii)
After their initial meeting, the lyrical and imaginitive quality of Romeo and Juliet's love reaches sublime heights. Juliet speaks to herself here while waiting for Romeo, her imagination the stuff of "heaven" and "stars".
O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
Beautiful tyrant! fiend angelical!
Dove-feather'd raven! wolvish-ravening lamb! (III, ii)
Juliet learns that Romeo has killed Tybalt and vents her anger in good/evil terms. Thus Romeo, is a "serpent" with the face of a flower, a "dragon" in a "fair" cave. Her love for Romeo...

Essential Passage by Theme: Rebellion
But saying o'er what I have said before:
My child is yet a stranger in the world,
She hath not seen the change of fourteen years;
Let two more summers wither in their pride
Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.
Younger than she are happy mothers made.
And too soon marr'd are those so early made.
The earth hath swallowed all my hopes but she;
She is the hopeful lady of my earth.
But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart;
My will to her consent is but a part.
An she agree, within her scope of choice
Lies my consent and fair according voice.
This night I hold an old accustom'd feast,
Whereto I have invited many a guest,
Such as I love; and you among the store,
One more, most welcome, makes my number more.
At my poor house look to behold this night
Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light.
Such comfort as do lusty young men feel
When well-apparell'd April on the heel
Of limping Winter treads, even such delight
Among fresh female buds shall you this night
Inherit at my house. Hear all, all see,
And like her most whose merit most shall be;
Which, amongst view of many, mine, being one,
May stand in number, though in reck'ning none.
Come, go with me.
Act 1, Scene 2, Lines 7-34
Lord Capulet, Juliet's father, is speaking to Paris. Paris is one of the Prince of Verona's royal kinsmen, which means that he is related to the prince and therefore of royal lineage himself. Paris is interested in marrying Juliet and is quite smitten with her—so smitten, in fact, that he is trying to persuade Capulet to let him proceed with wedding plans, even though Juliet is not even fourteen years old yet (fourteen was the minimum age of consent in the Renaissance). Capulet wants to wait another two years. He feels that his daughter is still too young and naive. Paris is not ready to give up, however. He argues that many women, even younger than Juliet, make "happy mothers."
Capulet remains adamant. He tries to explain to Paris the reasons why he feels postponing their nuptials is wise. First, he postulates that those who marry too young are often "marr'd": they do not survive childbirth or are too young to make responsible, respectful wives. Next, Lord Capulet appeals to Paris's sense of humanity. He tells Paris that Juliet is his only surviving child ("Earth has swallowed all my hopes but she") and she alone can carry on his lineage. Because Juliet is his most treasured possession, Capulet urges Paris to win her heart; Paris already has his consent. Juliet, while she does have a voice in selecting her mate, still...

Essential Passage by Character: Friar Laurence
I will be brief, for my short date of breath
Is not so long as is a tedious tale.
Romeo, there dead, was husband to that Juliet;
And she, there dead, that Romeo's faithful wife.
I married them; and their stol'n marriage day
Was Tybalt's doomsday, whose untimely death
Banish'd the new-made bridegroom from this city;
For whom, and not for Tybalt, Juliet pin'd.
You, to remove that siege of grief from her,
Betroth'd and would have married her perforce
To County Paris. Then comes she to me
And with wild looks bid me devise some mean
To rid her from this second marriage,
Or in my cell there would she kill herself.
Then gave I her (so tutored by my art)
A sleeping potion; which so took effect
As I intended, for it wrought on her
The form of death. Meantime I writ to Romeo
That he should hither come as this dire night
To help to take her from her borrowed grave,
Being the time the potion's force should cease.
But he which bore my letter, Friar John,
Was stay'd by accident, and yesternight
Return'd my letter back. Then all alone
At the prefixed hour of her waking
Came I to take her from her kindred's vault;
Meaning to keep her closely at my cell
Till I conveniently could send to Romeo.
But when I came, some minute ere the time
Of her awaking, here untimely lay
The noble Paris and true Romeo dead.
She wakes; and I entreated her come forth
And bear this work of heaven with patience;
But then a noise did scare me from the tomb,
And she, too desperate, would not go with me,
But, as it seems, did violence on herself.
All this I know, and to the marriage
Her nurse is privy; and if aught in this
Miscarried by my fault, let my old life
Be sacrific'd, some hour before his time,
Unto the rigour of severest law.
Act 5, Scene 3, Lines 240-280
Friar Laurence has the unpleasant task of telling the parents of Romeo and Juliet as well as the Prince of Verona how their children and Paris have died. The friar confesses that he had performed the ceremony that married Romeo and Juliet. He then reveals that their wedding day was the very day that Romeo and Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, got into a brawl. Tybalt fell under Romeo's sword. He reminds everyone that Romeo's punishment was banishment from Verona.
Trying to put the pieces together for them, the friar recounts the events that led to the tragedy. It began to go unravel, he says, when Juliet's parents sped up her wedding to Paris. In a panic, Juliet came to him and begged for him to find a way out of the marriage to Paris, threatening to kill herself if he did not help her. Friar Laurence reveals his "sleeping potion" ruse, designed to make her family...

Essential Passage by Character: Romeo
Art thou a man? Thy form cries out thou art;
Thy tears are womanish, thy wild acts denote
The unreasonable fury of a beast.
Unseemly woman in a seeming man!
Or ill-beseeming beast in seeming both!
Thou hast amaz'd me. By my holy order,
I thought thy disposition better temper'd.
Hast thou slain Tybalt? Wilt thou slay thyself?
And slay thy lady that in thy life lives,
By doing damned hate upon thyself?
Why railest thou on thy birth, the heaven, and earth?
Since birth and heaven and earth, all three do meet
In thee at once; which thou at once wouldst lose.
Fie, fie, thou...

Essential Passage by Character: Juliet
Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?
Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name
When I, thy three-hours' wife, have mangled it?
But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin?
That villain cousin would have kill'd my husband.
Back, foolish tears, back to your native spring!
Your tributary drops belong to woe,
Which you, mistaking, offer up to joy.
My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain;
And Tybalt's dead, that would have slain my husband.
All this is comfort; wherefore weep I then?
Some word there was, worser than Tybalt's death,
That murdered me. I would...

Sharing our treasures
The Burchfield Penney Art Center houses the largest collection of Charles E. Burchfield (1983-1967) works and archival materials in the world, and is a proud to be an international resource for scholars, curators, students and the public.

For information on available exhibitions and works from the Burchfield Penney's collection, please call 716-878-4143 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Charles E. Burchfield: Weather Event
Weather Event focuses on Charles E. Burchfield's depictions of the weather south of Lake Erie, where the artist lived for most of his life. Individual weather events are examined through both an artistic and scientific lens.
Burchfield's representations of weather, wind, skies and sounds are unique historical records of the environment near Lake Erie. In 1915, Burchfield made a series of sketches that show the changing weather and position of the sun over the course of several hours, which he called all-day sketches. Decades later, a 1950 journal entry recounts "The Day the Sun Disappeared over Western New York." In these unique instances and others the visitor experiences the landscape through Burchfield's eyes. Working with climatologist and Buffalo State College professor Stephen Vermette, Ph.D., we present the dramatic and complex natural phenomenon chronicled in more than 50 years of Burchfield's writings, drawings and paintings.
For more information on Charles E. Burchfield: Weather Event, please see the exhibition page.

James Vullo: Deconstructing Urbania
Although artist James Vullo (1914-1999) created works in varied styles – ashcan realism, abstract cubism and landscape minimalism – at different periods in his life, his focus was always on the environment with which he was most familiar: the city and its surroundings. In his early work he depicted the darker realities of early 20th century Western New York with its growing industrial base. By mid-career, his work evolved from representations of isolated urbanism to panes of color – a visual celebration of the geometry and beauty of the architecture in the region. And his style would change dramatically again when, in his later years, he stripped away intense cubic color constructions to settle into monochromatic landscapes. Throughout his life he depicted his changing aesthetic view of a changing world – and then as now, his unique altered landscapes give audiences a sense of his perspective.
For more information on James Vullo: Deconstructing Urbania, please see the exhibition page.

"In an extraordinarily diverse and challenging body of work, Bradley McCallum and Jacqueline Tarry focus on place, face, and narrative. Racism and other injustices are the mediating and complicating factors, often startling, always politically as well as aesthetically motivated in subtle and unexpected ways." -Lucy R. Lippard, Writer, Activist and Curator
Bradley McCallum and Jacqueline Tarry's art connects with community. That is its core value. Their subjects are race, identity, and injustice. As a bi-racial couple, their work is political, historic and contemporary.

Crumb, Kim Deitch, Art Spiegelman, S. Clay Wilson, Bill Griffith, Vaughn Bode, et al.) and who,—along with and as much as any of them— profoundly influenced the graphic and compositional style, thematic content, and political sensibilities of two subsequent generations of graphic literature creators.

The Coast Guard Foundation Shipmate Fund
Previously known as the Evergreen Fund, in 2010, we renamed our morale fund the Coast Guard Foundation Shipmate Fund to better reflect its purpose. The Shipmate Fund provides program support for morale, wellness, education and recreation initiatives for units, ships, and sectors, as identified by Coast Guard members.
The Foundation has distributed $4.5 million in morale support through the Shipmate Fund since its inception in 1994. In 2013 alone, we distributed over $425,000 across the country, resulting in more than 100 total grants to various units, stations, sectors, cutters and districts. See our interactive map of How We Help to learn more.
Coast Guard Foundation Scholarships and Education Grants
The Foundation administers several scholarships for Coast Guard enlisted personnel and their dependents. Scholarship winners have high hopes for the future — "A gift from heaven," is how one family described the Foundation's annual scholarship programs benefiting the children of nearly 100 enlisted men and women every year.
Family Disaster Relief Fund
The Family Disaster Relief Fund was established in September 2008 in response to a tragedy at Air Station Barber's Point, Hawaii, in which the Coast Guard lost four crewmembers in a helicopter accident. At the time, the Family Disaster Relief Fund provided emergency assistance to the families of this helicopter crew to attend memorial services in Hawaii following the incident. We have continued to draw on this fund to support and comfort other families affected by these difficult, heart-wrenching situations.
The Disaster Relief Fund
The mayday call was heard far and wide in 2005. Working tirelessly in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, Coast Guard people rescued more than 35,000 survivors of Hurricane Katrina without knowing whether their own homes and families were safe. In response to their needs, the Foundation started a Disaster Relief Fund to assist Coast Guard personnel who lost their homes and possessions as a result of natural disaster. Coast Guard supporters throughout the nation responded. The relief fund topped $1 million, enabling the Foundation to disburse grants to over 250 families who most needed financial assistance. Funds were used to help cover insurance deductibles, furniture replacement and home repairs. The Disaster Relief Fund continues to provide aid to Coast Guard families affected by natural disasters.
Participation in the Combined Federal Campaign
Are you an employee of the federal government? If so, you can contribute to the Coast Guard Foundation through the Combined Federal Campaign directly through work. One hundred percent of funds given to the Foundation through the CFC are used to support the Foundation's Shipmate Fund. Generous CFC contributions, combined with other gifts, help fund projects at Coast Guard bases, on cutters and at small stations throughout the nation. We are grateful to the thousands of people who have designated us to receive CFC funds. For those who would like to contribute, please remember the Foundation's CFC number: #10514.
The Coast Guard Foundation Special Projects Fund
The Coast Guard Foundation Special Project Fund provides support for larger projects, such as building playgrounds, resurfacing athletic courts, installing outdoor lighting and other projects that cost up to $250,000. These projects are identified by the Coast Guard on the district and headquarters level.
The Coast Guard Foundation Capital Project Fund
The Coast Guard Foundation Capital Project Fund provides support for capital improvement projects that carry a price tag of $250,000+ . These projects are large scale campaigns to construct brick-and-mortar buildings. The Foundation has endeavored on multiple capital projects, including building recreation centers in Dauphin Island, Alabama and Valdez, Alaska, and swimming pools in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Alameda, California.

Senator Leahy Champions UVM-IBM "Smart Grid" Research Using Complex Systems
Release Date: 11-10-2010
Author: Jeffrey R. Wakefield

Phone: 802/656-2005 Fax: (802) 656-3203
Last week the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) approved a three-year, $590,000 project for complex systems research by the University of Vermont Complex Systems Center and IBM Research into the future reliability of the smart grid. U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy secured an initial $500,000 for the UVM program, which then attracted an additional $90,000 in resources through the UVM-IBM partnership.
Led by Drs. Paul Hines and Chris Danforth, two faculty in the UVM Complex Systems Center and assistant professors in the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (CEMS), the UVM-IBM project uses complex systems modeling approaches to reduce the risk of large blackouts caused by cascading failure in the electricity infrastructure. The research will focus on the development of new methods, based on complex systems concepts and high-performance computing, for estimating and reducing cascading failure risks -invaluable information as Vermont actively develops the nation's first, statewide smart grid infrastructure.
"Implementation of a statewide Smart Grid holds tremendous promise to improve the daily lives of Vermonters," said Leahy, "The research conducted by UVM and IBM through this public-private partnership will improve the reliability of the power grid and help anticipate some of the unforeseen challenges posed by this new technology. Vermont is poised to lead the pack on Smart Grid adoption and this funding will help solidify that position."
"IBM's Vermont site has a long history of success working with UVM and we're pleased that this collaboration has now been extended to include IBM Research," said Janette Bombardier, director, IBM Vermont site operations and senior location executive. "IBM has used systems modeling and monitoring to improve energy use at its Vermont facility, and this research will focus on how to apply similar techniques to create a more stable and reliable electric grid for Vermont and nationwide."
"The growing UVM-IBM partnership in complex systems approaches and high performance computing on issues critical to the State of Vermont and our nation showcases excellence in both institutions," said UVM Vice President for Research Domenico Grasso, "I sincerely thank Senator Leahy for his support of this important research and look forward to our faculty's continued collaborations with IBM."
IBM will leverage the team's development of computationally efficient complex systems of systems approaches and Hybrid High Performance Computing (HPC) implementations, to compliment its "Smarter Energy" research agenda. The computationally-rigorous field of complex systems is extremely well-suited to this research -- simulating complex interactions of technological, human, and environmental systems, among others. Complex systems was recently identified by UVM as one of three transdisciplinary "Spires of Excellence" for university-wide strategic investment.
Professor Hines moved to the UVM College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences in 2007 after earning degrees in engineering and public policy from Carnegie-Mellon University. He has been active in Vermont energy systems education efforts. Professor Danforth, Hines' co-investigator, moved to UVM from the University of Maryland and is an expert in the modeling of chaotic interactions. Danforth is engaged in complex systems modeling studies ranging from the "emotional state of the blogosphere" to blood coagulation and is also a national leader in math and climate system education both at UVM and through the Governor's Institutes of Vermont (GIV) program for Vermont high schools.

Prenatal Vitamins: The Building Blocks of Nutrition
Why pregnant women need plenty of folic acid, iron, calcium and omega-3s.
Eating a healthy, balanced diet is the best way of getting the vitamins and minerals that your body needs to stay healthy. If you are planning to conceive a child or if you are already pregnant or breast-feeding, you need higher amounts of certain nutrients for both your health and the health of your baby. Prenatal vitamin and mineral supplements will help you get all the nutrients that you need during this important time in your life.
What Are Prenatal Vitamins?
Prenatal vitamins are nutritional supplements. They contain key nutrients that women need when they are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breast-feeding. These include folic acid (a type of B-complex vitamin), calcium, iron and docasahexenoic acid, or DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid). Prenatal supplements can also include vitamins C, D, E and other B vitamins, as well as minerals. Prenatal vitamins are an important part of pregnancy nutrition. They should be used together with a healthy, balanced diet. Results from some studies suggest that prenatal vitamins may actually decrease the risk of a low birth weight.
When Should I Start Taking Prenatal Vitamins?
Many health care professionals would agree that you should begin to take prenatal vitamins at least three months before you try to get pregnant. This is because folic acid can help prevent neural tube defects, which are birth defects that can develop in the first 28 days after conception.
If you are trying to get pregnant, you should discuss this issue with your doctor. It's best to take prenatal vitamins throughout your pregnancy. Your health care provider may also recommend that you continue to take prenatal vitamins after the birth of your baby, especially if you plan to breast-feed.
How Are Prenatal Vitamins Available?
Prenatal vitamins are available as pills, capsules, chewable tablets and even liquids. Your primary health care provider will probably suggest a specific brand of prenatal vitamin supplement. They are available both with and without a prescription.
You should always select vitamin supplements from a reputable manufacturer and inform your primary health care provider of all medications (prescription and nonprescription), including other vitamins and minerals, that you are currently taking.
Make sure that you do not take any other vitamin or mineral supplements while taking prenatal vitamins unless your primary health care provider recommends it.
How Do I Take My Prenatal Vitamins?
In general, prenatal vitamins should be taken on an empty stomach with water. If you experience nausea while taking your prenatal vitamins, take your vitamin at bedtime and with a light snack. If you experience extreme nausea, immediately consult your primary health care provider.
The iron in some prenatal vitamins may cause constipation. You can take to several measures prevent constipation, including:
• Always stay hydrated.
• Include more fiber in your diet.
• Ask your primary health care provider about using a stool softener, if needed.
• Always discuss any concerns with your primary health care provider or pharmacist, and maintain routine prenatal visits throughout your pregnancy.

The church of Sant Quirze de Pedret is situated in the municipality of Cercs (Berguedà), although it is accessed from Berga, by crossing the Llobregat river over the well-preserved medieval bridge of Pedret.
The original church is pre-Romanesque, dating from the 9th century. It features a single nave (the current central nave) with a trapezoidal apse, and an access door on the west (now disappeared). It was extended to three aisles in the mid 10th century, and the two side aisles end in apsidioles with a horseshoe-shaped plan.
Of the south aisle, only a small section remains; the rest was replaced in the 13th century by a bell tower, which collapsed (perhaps due to the earthquakes in the 15th century) and by a porch that protects the original Romanesque façade from the 13th century.
The inner walls of the central nave had to be reinforced in the 11th century, as, in the transition from "pre" to Romanesque, the wooden gabled roof was replaced with the traditional, and much heavier, stone barrel vault.
The interior of the church has very interesting paintings, especially in the apses.
Location: In the town of Cercs.

Taking a closer look at Rangers left winger Taylor Pyatt and what fans should expect out of him
A look at some of the UFA right-handed blueliners that are still available to play the role of the 6th or 7th defenseman for the New York Rangers.
Is the NHL CBA negotiations holding up the free agent market?
According to a report from Time Wharnsby, the New York Rangers have come to terms with RFA defenseman, Anton Stralman, on a two-year deal. The contract terms have not yet been released, but I'd assume it won't be anything over $2 million per season.
Two days after the blockbuster trade which sent Rick Nash to the New York Rangers, Nash visited New York City today for his first informal meeting with the New York Rangers organization, and the local media.
The New York Rangers announced their 2012 preseason schedule today, which will have the Blueshirts playing a total of six games, and two of which, will be in non-NHL arena's.
Lots of news has been breaking this week in the hockey world, from Rick Nash being dealt to the New York Rangers in a blockbuster deal, to the Nashville Predators matching the 14-year offer sheet for Shea Weber.
After some down time in Ranger land, things have picked up, and picked up quite a bit. It started with the news about Shea Weber, than with Shane Doan visiting New York, and now the supposed plan by the mastermind himself, Glen Sather.
Shane Doan visited the New York Rangers Friday, what type of contract would you like to see him get if he signed with New York?
The New York Rangers announced they have traded center/right winger, Casey Wellman, to the Florida Panthers, in exchange for a 2014 fifth-round draft pick.

Issued at 305 AM CST WED MAR 5 2014 Main forecast concern in the near term is temperatures...which are critical for snow and ice removal. Overall the model guidance was several degrees too cold yesterday...especially the gfs. The warmer ecmwf mos verified better than either the nam or gfs. On this forecast cycle...the gfs has trended warmer...while the nam has become the coldest model. The ecmwf has been relatively consistent from run to run and appears reasonable. Therefore forecast temps will be weighted toward the ecmwf mos...which is closer to the gfs mos than the nam. A complicating factor this morning is the development of widespread low stratus...which continues to move north into the kmdh/kevv corridor as of 08z. There has also been patchy dense fog...especially in se Missouri. This moisture is advecting northwestward on southeast low level flow...which was completely missed by all models including the RAP. The timing of clearing will obviously affect temps today. The nam model soundings indicate clearing around midday in the kpah area. Since the ecmwf does not pick up on the low clouds...will subtract a few degrees off ecmwf mos temps. The models indicate northeast low level flow will resume this afternoon and tonight...which is likely to reduce or eliminate the potential of any stratus/fog redevelopment tonight. There will be some mid and high clouds arriving as a 500 mb shortwave approaches the Mississippi Valley. On Thursday and Thursday night...the 500 mb shortwave will amplify and evolve into a closed low over the Lower Mississippi Valley. The models are now in excellent agreement on keeping the moisture with this system to our south. Therefore...the forecast will remain dry. As far as temps...will stay close to the ecmwf mos where there is the least snow cover along the I 64 corridor. Will subtract a few degrees over the deeper snow cover from kpah area south and west. Friday will be dry and milder as southerly low level flow increases and an upper ridge axis forms in the wake of the departing shortwave. Both ecmwf and gfs mos bring temps up well into the 50s. The exception is over the deep snow cover in the kpof area...where the ecmwf is cooler. Will trend forecast a little closer to guidance...but still remain 5 to 10 degrees lower than mos over the deeper snow cover in se Missouri. .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Issued at 305 AM CST WED MAR 5 2014 Small chance of light precipitation remains in the forecast Saturday through Saturday night as quasi phasing of northern and southern streams and associated moisture move across the area. 00z ECMWF seems a bit too strong and an outlier with h5 low coming out of the srn plains. Dry the rest of the long term. Will transition to a WNW flow pattern aloft. No noteworthy features to key in on and moisture marginal for any precip generation. Thus will keep things dry. We will see warmer temperatures overall. && .AVIATION... ISSUED AT 1137 AM CST WED MAR 5 2014 Scatter to broken high clouds will stream over the region through the period...and winds will be northeast under 10kts. The main question is if/when the IFR ceilings will dissipate over KCGI and KPAH. Satellite indicates that the cloud deck is eroding on all sides, but much of guidance holds onto it through the night at KCGI and at least through sunset at KPAH. Went on the pessimistic side, and am hopeful that that will lead to a rapid clearing trend this afternoon. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. MO...NONE. IN...NONE.

More Pics Of The Private Airbus A380
Filed under: Wings
Ask and you shall receive! Well, little by little at least. Last month Deidre wished for pictures of something other than the dining room of the Private Airbus A380 (as glorious as it may be) and today we have them. They might not be of the whirlpool, master bedroom suite, or the game room, but we do have a sketch of the desert-themed lounge and some very glamorous-looking photos of the grand entrance and VIP lounge.
There's five new pictures in all (if you don't count the dining room) and all I can say is wow. That, and I'm still waiting for a shot of that "glimmering desert mural" behind the curtain we keep hearing about.
[Thanks, Timothy!]

Power hungry? Damn as for this I will pass
Dude, it's photoshop it would be unnatural if it wasn't power hungry.
However, you would think that because it's been designed for a mobile device, a phone especially, that they would have found a way to make it Significantly less power-hungry.
Download link states it's not available in the US store.
So, adobe vales the core features of photoshop at 10 dollars, and the "extra" features make up the other $590 the program costs on computers?
By power hungry they don't mean it will drain your battery as much as you need efficient tech. Sure it will use your battery considerably more but at Max probably as much as infinity blade otherwise it's not going to be much of a drain.
Also they wouldn't discontinue apps or older things because they are worried it will drain your battery. No companies do that and consumers don't really want that considering some would rather be able to use its capabilities with small battery life rather than limited and more battery. They are only allowing it on 4s-5 because of the A5+ chips
Magically? That's like expecting them to make it significantly less CPU and memory heavy on Windows 98 machines. If it were a simple matter of programming more efficiently, then they'd be wasting a lot of potential on faster machines. If I make it take forever to finish something just so that it doesn't run my battery down as quickly, it is actually worse because my phone used more power over that same time to complete the work than it would have. The faster I finish the faster I can get back to a low power lock/standby state.

I received my headphones today and i love them! Got connected to my iphone and my ipad within seconds. The sound is awesome and they are super comfortable. Now i can walk around without being tied to any of my devices and if a call comes in while i'm listening to music i can easily take the call and go right back to my music :)
Bye, bye wires!

These headphones are great! Was able to sync easily to all my devices, so nice that I can walk around and not have to carry anything. So nice that I put my phone in my pocket without the inteference of wires that would get in the way of the zipper of my coat or finding a coat with an upper pocket because the wires were too short and was very limited to move your head around. I can be in the basement while my phone is in the kitchen and there are no glitches or drop-offs. With the warmer weather, this will be a great asset just walking around with a little purse and no more WIRES!! The headset itself doesn't feel heavy on your head, sometimes you forget you're wearing them. The phone feature works great, people on the end can hear me fine and I can hear sounds on their end that I wouldn't hear on a reqular speakerphone. So just like everything else I used to have wired, I ditch and go wireless without looking back!

Clinical Guide > Comorbidities and Complications > Dyslipidemia
Author: Susa Coffey, MD
January 2011
HIV-infected individuals, both those on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and those who are untreated, appear to have higher rates of coronary heart disease (CHD) than HIV-uninfected individuals and higher rates of various risk factors for CHD, including dyslipidemia. As the average lifespan of patients on effective ART lengthens, and as people living with HIV become older, morbidity and mortality from CHD are likely to continue to increase. Thus, identification and reduction of modifiable risk factors for CHD are important aspects of primary care for HIV-infected patients.
Dyslipidemia is a well-described independent risk factor for CHD, and it occurs in a high proportion of persons with HIV infection. Current research suggests that this dyslipidemia is caused by a combination of factors related to HIV disease, ART regimens, and individual patient characteristics. HIV itself causes lipid perturbations, particularly in persons with more advanced immunosuppression; HIV-infected individuals who are not on antiretroviral (ARV) medications often have elevations in triglyceride (TG) levels and decreases in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) as well as in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol (TC). Lipid abnormalities also may be caused by or compounded by ARVs (see chapter Coronary Heart Disease Risk). They may appear or worsen within a few weeks to months after starting ART. With some patients, this may, at least in part, represent a return to pre-illness lipid levels, whereas the ARVs cause the abnormality in other cases.
Not all ART-treated patients experience lipid abnormalities to the same degree. Patients with a personal or family history of dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, diabetes, obesity, or a combination of these health problems may be genetically predisposed to lipid abnormalities that become evident once ART is initiated.
The use of potent combination ART, particularly the use of protease inhibitors (PIs), has increased the prevalence of abnormally high TG, TC, and LDL levels among HIV-infected patients. In fact, dyslipidemia has been associated not only with certain PIs but also with nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and some nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). In the PI class, ritonavir-boosted PIs (with the exception of atazanavir) are particularly likely to cause marked elevations of TG and LDL levels. NNRTIs also may contribute to increases in TC, LDL, and TG levels although the effects, particularly with efavirenz, are more variable (and efavirenz may increase HDL). Of the NRTIs, stavudine, zidovudine, and perhaps abacavir may increase TC and TG levels. To date, available agents from the integrase inhibitor and CCR5 antagonist classes do not appear to have significant adverse impacts on lipid levels.
The largest prospective study of CHD events related to ARVs (the D:A:D study) showed a small but significant increase in the risk of myocardial infarction among HIV-infected patients treated with ARVs; moreover, the effect increased with cumulative years of ARV exposure. This effect was largely but not entirely associated with increases in LDL cholesterol (see chapter Coronary Heart Disease Risk).
Identification and management of dyslipidemia in HIV-infected patients is an important part of HIV primary care. For patients with CHD or CHD risk equivalents (see below), ART regimens should, if possible, be selected to minimize the risk of hyperlipidemia.
Guidelines for the evaluation and management of dyslipidemia have been developed by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP). These recommendations are based on studies of HIV-uninfected persons and may not be entirely applicable to HIV-infected persons, in whom HIV itself may increase risk of CHD events. Despite this limitation, expert panels generally recommend similar treatment goals when evaluating and managing dyslipidemia in patients with HIV infection. (For recommendations on screening, see chapter Initial and Interim Laboratory and Other Tests.)
The history should focus on factors that suggest CHD, risk equivalents, or risk factors for CHD. Both CHD risks and CHD equivalents should be the focus of lifestyle modification strategies and lipid-normalizing treatment.
Check vital signs with special attention to blood pressure and weight. Calculate BMI (see chapter Initial Physical Examination for information on BMI).
Perform a focused physical examination with particular attention to signs of hyperlipidemia, such as xanthelasma and xanthoma, and to the cardiovascular system.
Determine whether a specific intervention is appropriate based on the patient's lipid values and identified CHD risks, as indicated in Tables 1 and 2.
LDL is the main indicator for treatment, and the main target for lipid-lowering therapy. Hypertriglyceridemia is associated with CHD risk, but thresholds of risk have not been defined precisely, and targets for intervention are not entirely clear (for persons with triglyceride levels of ≥500 mg/dL the triglycerides usually are treated first; see "Treatment," below). Severe hypertriglyceridemia (e.g., TG >1,000 mg/dL) also increases the risk of pancreatitis.
For patients who do not have diabetes or preexisting CHD and who have two or more CHD risk factors, calculate the "10-year risk of cardiovascular events" by using the Risk Assessment Tool for estimating the 10-year risk of a major CHD event. Use the risk-estimate tool at the end of this chapter or the online risk calculator at the National Institutes of Health website.
Risk Category | LDL Goal* | Initiate Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes | Consider Drug Therapy |
Lower risk: No CHD or CHD risk equivalents and <0-1 risk factor | <160 mg/dL (<4.1 mmol/L) | LDL ≥160 mg/dL (≥4.1 mmol/L) | ≥190 mg/dL (≥4.9 mmol/L); at 160-189 mg/dL, LDL drug therapy is optional |
Moderate risk: No CHD or CHD risk equivalents and ≥2 risk factors, with 10-year estimated risk <10% | <130 mg/dL (<3.4 mmol/L) | LDL ≥130 mg/dL (≥3.4 mmol/L) | ≥160 mg/dL (≥4.1 mmol/L) |
Moderately high risk: No CHD or CHD risk equivalents and ≥2 risk factors and 10-year estimated risk 10-20% | <130 mg/dL (<3.4 mmol/L) (optional goal of <100 mg/ dL) | LDL ≥130 mg/dL (≥3.4 mmol/L) | ≥130 mg/dL (≥3.4 mmol/L) |
High risk: CHD or CHD risk equivalent (see above) | <100 mg/dL (<2.6 mmol/L) (optional goal of <70 mg/dL#) | LDL ≥100 mg/dL (≥2.6 mmol/L) | ≥100 mg/dL (≥2.6 mmol/L) |
Risk Category | Triglyceride Measurement | Initiate Therapy |
Normal triglycerides | <150 mg/dL | |
Borderline-high triglycerides | 150-199 mg/dL | |
High triglycerides | 200-499 mg/dL | Start therapeutic lifestyle changes; consider medication if CHD, CHD equivalents, or high risk |
Very high triglycerides | ≥500 mg/dL | Start therapeutic lifestyle changes; consider medication |
The fasting serum lipid panel should be performed at least 8 hours, but ideally 12 hours, after last food and beverage intake. It measures TC, HDL, TG, non-HDL cholesterol with calculated LDL, and TC/HDL cholesterol ratio.
A fasting lipid panel should be checked at baseline, before patients start ART.
Repeat the fasting lipid panel within 3-6 months after ARVs are started, and sooner for patients who have abnormal values at baseline.
Patients with normal lipid values should be rechecked annually. Those with dyslipidemia may need more intensive monitoring (e.g., every 4-6 weeks) until the LDL goal is met, after which monitoring every 4-6 months is adequate.
Treatment of dyslipidemia usually involves a multimodal approach, including diet and exercise in all cases, lipid-modifying medication, and consideration of changes in ARV medication. The primary goal of lipid-lowering therapy is to reduce LDL to target levels. For persons with CHD and CHD risk equivalents, the type and intensity of LDL lowering therapies are adjusted according to LDL baseline levels. Note that other interventions to reduce CHD risk also should be undertaken (e.g., smoking cessation if appropriate).
For patients with serum TG level of >400 mg/dL, the LDL cholesterol calculation is unreliable. In this situation, non-HDL cholesterol (TC minus HDL) can be used as a surrogate target of therapy; the non-HDL goal is 30 mg/dL higher than the LDL goal. For these individuals, dietary intervention is warranted, and drug therapy to decrease LDL (or non-HDL) can be considered if TC is >240 mg/dL or HDL cholesterol is <35 mg/dL. For those with TG levels of 200-500 mg/dL, achieving the LDL cholesterol target is the primary goal, and lowering non-HDL cholesterol levels is a secondary goal (see Table 1 for LDL intervention levels).
The NCEP guidelines recommend that very high TG levels (≥500 ml/dL) be reduced before LDL is treated directly (see "Treatment of hypertriglyceridemia," below).
The LDL levels at which either therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) or drug therapy should be initiated are shown in Table 1, along with the target goals for LDL cholesterol. The response to therapy should be monitored and therapeutic interventions should be intensified or augmented until lipid targets are met.
TLC, consisting of diet modification and exercise, is fundamental to the management of dyslipidemia for HIV-infected patients.
Target goals for lipid abnormalities are difficult to achieve without prioritizing these behavioral change efforts. Although TLC is hard to maintain, it can yield significant results in reducing CHD risk and improving quality of life. Effective TLC is best achieved with a multidisciplinary team approach. HIV primary care providers should be instrumental in identifying TLC as a treatment priority and providing referrals to nutritionists for dietary counseling, to mental health professionals for assessment of treatable mood disorders, and to social workers, peer counselors, or clinical nurse specialists for assistance with health-behavior changes, self-care strategies, and identification of resources in the community for smoking cessation support and exercise programs. Specific recommendations for TLC goals and behavior change strategies are contained in the Adult Treatment Panel guidelines.
All patients with elevated lipid levels should initiate TLC. If pharmacologic intervention is indicated, statins (hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A [HMG-CoA] reductase inhibitors) are the first-line treatment for most patients. These agents can be effective in reducing TC, LDL, and non-HDL cholesterol levels in HIV-infected patients (see Table 3).
Recommended starting dosages of statins for patients taking PIs are as follows (Note: see "Potential ARV Interactions," below):
Fibrates may be considered as an alternative or adjunct to statins (see "Treatment of hypertriglyceridemia," below, for further information). When given concomitantly, statins and fibrates increase the risk of rhabdomyolysis and must be used cautiously and with careful monitoring). Niacin may be effective as adjunctive therapy, but may worsen insulin resistance and may cause hepatotoxicity. It also causes uncomfortable flushing in some patients; the sustained-release formulations are better tolerated. Ezetimibe (Zetia) appears to be effective in combination with statins for patients whose cholesterol is not controlled adequately with a statin alone, but it has not been shown to decrease CHD events. Bile acid sequestrants generally should be avoided because they may interfere with the absorption of other drugs and may increase TG levels.
Lipid Abnormality | First Choice | Second Choice | Comments |
* May have significant interactions with certain PIs; see Table 4. | |||
Isolated high LDL, non-HDL cholesterol | Statin | Fibrate | Start with pravastatin* or atorvastatin.* Use low statin dosages and titrate upward; patients taking PIs have increased risk of myopathy. |
Isolated high TG | Fibrate | Statin, N-3 (omega-3) fatty acids | Start with gemfibrozil or fenofibrate. Combined statin and fibrate may increase myopathy risk. |
High LDL and TG (TG level 200-500 mg/dL) | Statin | Fibrate | Start with pravastatin or atorvastatin. Use fluvastatin,* rosuvastatin,* gemfibrozil, or fenofibrate as alternatives. Combined statin and fibrate may increase myopathy risk. |
High LDL and TG (TG level >500 mg/dL) | Fibrate | N-3 (omega-3) fatty acids, niacin, statin | Start with gemfibrozil or fenofibrate. Niacin is associated with insulin resistance. May need to add statin if cholesterol is not controlled adequately. |
Clinicians should note that there are clinically significant drug interactions between most statins and both PIs and NNRTIs (see Table 4). PIs can increase serum levels of most statins significantly, thus increasing the risk of severe statin adverse events such as rhabdomyolysis. Of the statin drugs, pravastatin is the least affected by most PIs (darunavir is an exception) and is the recommended statin for most patients with hypercholesterolemia without hypertriglyceridemia. Atorvastatin, if used, should be initiated at low dosage (10 mg) and titrated slowly upward to achieve target lipid levels (note that atorvastatin may lower TG, TC, and LDL levels). Lovastatin and simvastatin are contraindicated for use by patients taking PIs, and pitavastatin is contraindicated for use by patients taking ritonavir-boosted PIs. These can result in severe statin-related adverse events if prescribed. Other available statins include rosuvastatin and fluvastatin. These have not been as well studied but may be used with most PIs. When statins are given concurrently with interacting PIs, the statins should be started at low dosage and increased incrementally, if indicated; in general maximum dosages should not be used.
NNRTIs decrease levels of most statins (however, etravirine increases fluvastatin levels); higher dosages of statins may be needed to overcome this interaction. Be aware that various formulations and combination products contain these statins; check the generic name of components in new or unfamiliar cardiac prescriptions to determine whether they contain lipid-lowering agents.
Other classes of ARV drugs (NRTI, fusion inhibitor, CCR5 antagonist, and integrase inhibitor) do not have recognized interactions with statins. Other types of lipid-lowering medications generally are not metabolized by hepatic cytochrome P450 and are not affected by ARVs (an exception to this is gemfibrozil, whose levels are decreased by lopinavir/ritonavir, by an unknown mechanism).

Etravirine | May need to ↑ atorvastatin dosage | May ↑ fluvastatin levels | May need to ↑ lovastatin dosage | No data | May need to ↑ simvastatin dosage |
Patients with TG levels of 200-500 mg/dL should begin non-drug interventions such as diet modification, reduction in alcohol consumption, aerobic exercise, and smoking cessation. When the TG level is ≥500 mg/dL, a low-fat diet (<15% of caloric intake) is recommended to help prevent pancreatitis, and pharmacologic therapy probably will be required. Patients with CHD or CHD equivalents, those at high risk of CHD, and those with TG levels >200 mg/dL may need pharmacologic therapy.
Fibrates are the first-line drug option for isolated hypertriglyceridemia and are an alternative treatment for combined hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. Fenofibrate or gemfibrozil reduce TG levels effectively in patients on ARVs. Because they are not metabolized by the cytochrome P450 hepatic enzyme system, they do not have significant drug interactions with ARVs. Fibrates are contraindicated for use by patients with renal failure. Recommended dosages of these agents are as follows:
If a fibrate alone is inadequate in reducing TG levels, several options are possible. A statin (notably atorvastatin, which acts on TGs as well as cholesterol) could be added cautiously, although there is an increased risk of skeletal muscle toxicity with concomitant use of a fibrate and a statin. N-3 (omega-3) fatty acid supplements (e.g., fish oils), administered at 1-2 g BID or TID, have decreased TG levels in patients taking ART. Extended-release niacin at 1,500-2,000 mg/day also decreases both TG and TC levels, although its clinical utility is restricted because of associated insulin resistance and flushing.
For patients with CHD or CHD equivalents, ARV medications should, if possible, be selected to minimize the risk of hyperlipidemia. In patients with dyslipidemia caused by ARV agents, data suggest that it may be beneficial to discontinue ARVs known to increase lipids if reasonable alternatives exist. Substituting atazanavir or raltegravir in place of a lipogenic PI or replacing stavudine with tenofovir may improve the lipid profile. Before making ARV substitutions, however, consider carefully the possible effect of the substitution on HIV virologic control and the potential adverse effects of new ARVs. In some cases, antihyperlipidemic agents may be necessary even after ARV substitution.
To calculate the 10-year risk of cardiac events, add up points from the following five tables pertaining to age, HDL, systolic blood pressure, TC, and smoking status (Tables 5.1-5.5). Note that in Tables 5.3-5.5, women's points are in parentheses. After adding points from all of the tables, consult Table 5.6. (Alternatively, an online calculator is available.)
(The Framingham Heart Study risk calculator has not been validated for HIV-positive individuals and may underestimate the risk in this population.)
