WARSAW — Polish lawmakers have started a debate to decide when the country should adopt the euro, the currency used by 17 European Union nations.
An EU member since 2004, Poland is still to name the date when it intends to adopt the euro. Officials say Poland should meet all financial requirements in 2015, but will wait for a moment best suited to its interests.


text: Williams shows profit despite tough 2013 season 3 May, 2014 Williams Formula 1 team returned to profit last year, despite a poor season on the track for the former world champions, helped by a one-off payment from outgoing sponsor PDVSA. State-owned Venezuelan oil company PDVSA paid out for an early termination of its sponsorship deal when driver Pastor Maldonado left Williams for Lotus at the end of last season. That payment helped Williams, the only Formula One team with a stock market listing, to increase revenues to 132 million pounds ($223 million) in 2013, from 106 million the previous year. The group, which is developing an engineering business to commercialize its racing technology, reported an operating profit of 12 million pounds, a turnaround after having lost five million in 2012. The return to profit will fuel the sense of optimism at Williams, who have a new title sponsor in Italian drinks company Martini and have shown better form on the track. "We have started the 2014 Formula One season well and hope we can continue to improve our performance," said team founder and principal Frank Williams. "We made good progress commercially through the winter months and Williams continues to attract an enthusiastic and very loyal group of partners and fans." Williams have already scored 36 points after four races this season, having managed only five in the whole of last season. The group confirmed it had closed a technology centre it had set up in Qatar where it employed around 30 people. The work and some of the staff have been moved back to its headquarters in Oxfordshire, part of what is known as "Motor Sport Valley" in the heart of England.(Reuters) Related NewsNasr seeking F1 race seat for 2015The difference a year makes for Lotus and WilliamsSilly Season Latest: Bottas to McLarenSmedley: I did not expect such a quick Williams revivalThomson Reuters and Williams celebrate 15-year partnershipWolff sells part share of Williams stakeCavallino appointed official clothing supplier to WilliamsMaldonado paid Williams $25 million to end contractSymonds: It's costs that are going to kill Formula 1 and we need to face up to thisWilliams sell hybrid element of business

So I have come to the brutal realization that I have NO true girlfriends by me besides Jill. I wish I wasn't go quiet when I first meet people. Usually since I am quiet I come off as rude or stuck up, but I'm not either! Maybe I am just way to envious of Sex & The City and all there relationships with each other. I always wanted to have close girlfriends to just hang & talk with. Maybe I need to be more open and starting to trust people a little more.
I do have some amazing sisters, boyfriend and some fabulous girl friends in LA. Bicoastel friendships right there haha.
Tomorrow is Bamboozle, heading down early to settle into our hotel and interview my first band for Buzznet woooo!
Hope to see you there!
You'll ♥

Some people like the Wii u, some people do not. But no matter what ... we all die sooner or later.
I may not be a big fan of Nintendo and the WII U seems like its on the border of something awesome and something that has gone terribly HOWEVER; I salute the gamer who stands up for what he or she believes in while at the same time trying to do something out of the norm.
Now THIS was hilariously interesting, with some grains of truth.
Haha I love it. Great animation and voice acting, as to be expected from anything involving the pirate of grains.
The argument of games available for it is invalid. Monster Hunter Ultimate AND the new Super Smash Bros are coming...
Awesome, loved it :D

PHOTO: Obama Receives Concession Call From Mitt Romney

Reported by
Eyder Peralta
The White House just released a picture by Pete Souza that shows President Obama taking a concession call from Gov. Mitt Romney on election day.
It shows Obama taking the call on a cellphone from the Presidential Suite at the Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park.
It reminds us of a similar photo released in January of Obama talking to the father of Jessica Buchanan. Obama was delivering the news that his daughter, captured by Somali pirates, had been rescued by Navy SEALs.

The Aggregate-Supply/Aggregate-Demand Model
AbstractThe aggregate-supply/ aggregate-demand (AS-AD) model is popular in textbooks, but has problems with logical consistency. In one interpretation, the Keynesian underpinnings of the AD curve-derived from the IS/LM model with downward price stickiness-conflict with the determination of the price level at the intersection of the AS and AD curves. In another view, the model corresponds to rational-expectations theories in which Keynesian properties are absent. In a third interpretation, the model is equivalent to the "complete Keynesian model," which has counterfactual implications for real wages and other variables. The main conclusion is that the AS/AD model should be abandoned.

MORRISTOWN - The happiest Democrat in Morris County.
That would be Tim Dougherty, who on Tuesday night won the Morristown mayor's race with 64.62% of the vote on a night when every municipality went for home county gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie by large margins with the exception of Dover, Victory Gardens and Morristown.
Doherty took pride in the fact that he won without going negative on his opponent, local businessman Jimmy Gervasio.
"I told (campaign strategist Barrett) Tommy I'm not putting out one piece of negative literature," said the mayor-elect. "Why? I figured somebdy's gotta start doing it that way. Voters want to hear about what you're going to do."
In the primary, Dougherty built a coalition among African Americans, progressives, Latinos and downtown business people to crush veteran Morristown political animal Mayor Donald Cresitello.
"The distinct difference between my general election opposition and us was we had pulled the community together in the primary and we stayed together," said the mayor-elect. "We were in a capsule here in Morris County (which went 60% to 31% for Christie over incumbent Gov. Jon Corzine) because we kept it so local. This wasn't about Corzine or Chritstie, it was about Morristown. We said from the beginning, this is our campaign for our community.
"We ran a very organized campaign," Dougherty added. "On Election Day, my wife (local party chair Mary Dougherty) and I had more than 50 volunteers working. We had every polling place staffed and runners committed to supporting us following up on people. We ran it from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., but we still couldn't get to 3,000 votes, which was my goal."
Dougherty's entire slate won, as he personally defeated Gervasio 2,572 to 1,402.
Chief operating enegineer at the Prudential Center, Dougherty had Newark Mayor Cory Booker in for a fundraiser at one point during the general for a campaign that ended up costing about $80,000.
In cruise control through the most of the general, Dougherty weathered a Gervasio hit-piece emphasizing the Democrat's past DUIs.
"People never get the full story; they don't know the circumstances," Dougherty said. "No one should drive while under the influence. I don't drink and I drill into people, 'don't drink if you have to drive.' However, I think people want to see if you hit a wall in your life, what did you do to change it? It's all about character building."
Last month, Dougherty encountered then-candidate Christie in a Morristown diner and they wished each other luck on the campaign trail.
"I hope he keeps true to his word that it's about community and we all have a common bond," Dougherty said. "We're all New Jerseyans."
Tepid fundraising, underperforming candidates and a lousy party brand are threatening to deprive House Republicans of the sweeping 2014 gains that some top party officials have been predicting this year, according to Politicker alum Alex Isenstadt, now of Politico.Read More >
Campaign season now under way in Bergen County Politics is practiced year-round in Bergen County, and street-level campaigning has been going on quietly all summer. But both Republicans and Democrats say the Rutherford Street Fair on Labor Day signals a more intense phase of electioneering.

By MICHAEL W. KLEIN In his weekly radio address on August 16, President Obama challenged colleges "to do their part to bring down costs" and lighten the tuition burden on students. The state colleges and universities in New Jersey have... Read More >
"Governor Christie ripped President Obama this summer for failing to carve out some time during a Texas fundraising swing to visit the Mexican border, where the unprecedented flood of immigrant children from Central America had reached a crisis point. ...Yet Christie is not squeezing in a tour of the troubled border during his own three-day trade and diplomatic mission to Mexico, which is set to begin on Wednesday. The governor is planning a series of meetings with Mexican officials, including President Enrique Peña Nieto and the finance and energy ministers." - columnist Charles Stile- The Bergen Record

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
But, as Noah Andre Trudeau reveals, black soldiers demonstrated bravery and professionalism from the moment they suited up. He recounts well-known events, such as the 54th Massachusetts' attack on Fort Wagner, as well as less familiar ones, such as blacks' involvement in the war's last directed combat one month after Lee's surrender. There were atrocities, too: in 1864, Confederates slaughtered black prisoners of war at Fort Pillow (Southern historians once disputed this brutal act of cold-blooded murder, but most scholars accept it as true today). Although Trudeau sometimes sacrifices his narrative drive to excessive detail, Like Men of War remains a compelling book full of strong battle scenes. --John J. Miller

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Mark Twain San Francisco
Beware of this location
This hotel is among many shelters and there are crack heads galore in the area of Union Square. Sheets were dirty and room unpleasant. 1 person ran the entire Hotel at check in. Try Cow Hollow, less $ and FAR superior location.
I love San Fran- but this was a bummer
we were looking forward to a getaway for a few nights... booked off of hotels at the executive hotel mark twain in san fran- the union square area... the hotel wasn't what we were expecting- hotels gave it a 3 1/2 star- i would rate it more a 2... it looked great from their website- but it wasn't. it was really noisy due to the street below... even with the windows closed- it was LOUD. we parked a few blocks away and had our car broken into- definitely a shady area at night. PAY FOR VALET OR GARAGE PARKING IF YOU STAY IN THIS AREA- it's worth it.
Great Location
We stayed at the Mark Twain in April, 2005. It was in a great location -- 2 blocks from the start of the cable car line. It was very clean and the staff was very helpful. I would definitely stay there again.
Also, we ate at O'Douls pub right up the street. It was really good and inexpensive.
Old, musty & dusty
I stayed here recently on a business trip. I paid about $80.00 a night.
The building is old. While my room was basically clean, there was mold in the shower and the carpet had some suspicious stains.
There was also mold in the stairwell, which I used only because the hotel elevator was so very small and creaky. Unfortunately, on my last night there, an innumerable amount of Japanese students arrived at the hotel and kept stuffing themselves in the elevator like it was a phone booth. They also sat up most of the night yakking and giggling, which I could hear quite clearly through the thin, thin walls.
The parking is a rip-off, even for San Francisco. Proceed up 1/2 a block and use the garage on O'Farrell for 1/2 the price.
It isn't a bad place, unless you are used to modern conveniences.
I wouldn't stay here again, unless I needed a place to drink myself to death.
Comfortable but a little noisy
We stayed for 5 nights at the end of October 2004. The staff were mainly friendly and helpful and the room had all the basic facilities that we expected although, as they had tried to cram 2 queen size beds into a fairly small room, there wasn't too much space. The hotel is centrally located, just behind the Hilton and within easy walking distance of the major shops and plenty of restaurants.
While our stay was pleasant there were a few things that weren't so good. The hotel is in a noisy neighbourhood, right on the edge of the Tenderloin district where many of the homeless hang out. This meant that there was a fair amount of noise which wasn't helped by the protestors outside the Hilton Hotel (the Mark Twain wasn't affected by the Hotel workers lock out but many of the other major hotels in the area were which only added to the noise). In addition to the outside noise, we found that the walls between rooms were very thin and for a couple of nights we had someone with the TV on all night on one side with a bunch of partying teenagers on the other side. The final thing that we were less than happy about was when the Hotel's 'Inspector' - yes that's what it said on her badge - disturbed my wife while she was trying to rest, despite the 'do not disturb' sign outside. Apparently this is hotel policy.
Now that we've found this web site we probably wouldn't stay at this hotel again but I would highly recommend a visit to the Sultan restaurant under the hotel - the food is excellent and the price is reasonable.
From booking to checking out there was nothing but hassles
it started when i tried to book the hotel, i had a question so i called...and called...and called... no one picked up, just ringing. finally when the woman answered the phone she was uninformed and put me on hold for over 5 minutes.
when i went to check in they had no record of my reservation and i had to stand in the lobby for 30 minutes while he called around. Finally i got my room key. Since the location of this hotel is horrible (ghetto pretty much) my friend was forced to use valet parking for his hummer. they charged $38 for one night and the man that picked it up couldnt figure out how much change from $40 and sped off in it.
finally we (all 4 of us) head up to the room. we get into the elevator which fits one comfortably and try to find our way through the narrow and stuffy halls. i open the door to the room and it just smells...reeks really. something between wet dog and mold. the beds were disgusting and you could barely get into the porta-potty sized bathroom because the toilet was in the way of the door. the vents were connected so we could hear our neighbors puking all night.
we woke up to protesters at 8 am across the street (not their fault) but since the windows were so thin you could hear everything they said. check out went smoothly untill it came time to get our car back. 30 minutes we waited in the lobby, finally it showed up.
i just checked my bank account and they charged me $100 ontop of the $99 from Travelocity, it really been nothing but hassles. i wouldnt recommend this hotel to my enemies.
We had a good stay.
Stayed at hotel during mid September 2004. Our hotel stay went very well. I thought about cancelling our reservation after reading the trip advisor reviews. I am glad I did not cancel. The hotel staff, especially Eric, were friendly and helpful. Also, our room was clean, and the furniture was okay. The noise level was low except for the mornings. However, the noise was not uncommon for a busy area in the city. I would definitely stay at this hotel in the future.

Budget price, less than budget accomodations
Stayed here for 4 nights at the end of a northern california trip. The price is good and the location is close to all union square activities but the hotel is pretty terrible. The desk staff were nice and the lobby is nice looking but the rooms are tiny. Tiny would be okay and is understandable in an older building but they were very DIRTY! - the carpet was stained and needed to be replaced, the bathroom was dirty - hair all over the floor, the sheets were ripped in many places and clearly very old and the window are filthy. We stayed in a room right on the main street which was so noisy we didn't sleep for four nights. Earplugs helped a bit. Of course the hotel can't do anything about being on a city street - that I understand, but the Hilton (across the street) allows their tour buses to idle from 4am on and the noise and exhaust fumes are ridiculous! Point is, nice people, not a good hotel - for the money you can easily spend only a little more and be somewhere nicer - not to mention CLEANER!
Graet Budget Hotel for good price
Arrived mid-late August for 2 night stay. Reception were really friendly and lobby clean and presentable. Check in and Check out really simple and easy.
Room was okay - in need of a little make over but was clean and comfortable. Fridge was an assett. No air-con but didn't really need it as it wasn't 100 degrees heat! Good shower!
Great location, 5-10 mins walk from Union Square, cable cars, muni stations etc. Our room faced main street (it is on Taylor Street) and with windows open could get very noisy!
My husband and I thought it was a great price for just somewhere central to sleep and wake up. We stayed at Fishermans Wharfe after, and although hotle there was more 'plush', we didn't feel it was worth double what this cost!! Depends what you want really.... but I would definitley reccommend it for a budget, great location hotel.
Stayed there May/03 and had OK stay.
We only stayed here one night while on our way to Lake Tahoe. We loved San Fran. We probably won't stay here again. Would prefer Fisherman's Wharf location. Not much to do around Union Square. Hotel was OK. Check in was simple, pretty good rate. You must valet park. The room was small and I was surprised to find it had no Central A/C. We had to open the windows, which was OK for early May. Rather old building converted to a hotel. Was OK, but wouldn't stay again.

Current Show:
Feathered Friends
August 31 - November 20
Upcoming Show
The Ashby-Hodge Gallery of American Art on the Fayette campus of Central Methodist University presents "Feathered Friends: Six Decades of Watercolor Painting of Birds by David Plank" along with a Memorial to Brother Mel Meyer, S.M. (1928-2014) Sculpture, Watercolors, Acrylics. The show runs from August 31 – November 20, with an artist reception for Plank on Sunday, Aug. 31.
There is no charge and all are welcome to the Gallery during its open hours, Sunday and Tuesday-Thursday from 1:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Feathered Friends
David Plank has spent all of six decades plus parts of two others painting birds. In 1973, after three years in the Army and 11 more as a pressman, he became a full-time painter of birds. He has no regrets and shows no signs of slowing.
While Plank's birds are anatomically correct, he softens poses and colors in order to communicate his personal vision of the birds and their surroundings, rather than trying to duplicate nature as an objective illustrator might.
"Many artists," Plank explains, "try to catch the essence of the bird. On the other hand, I try to catch the essence of what I feel about the bird."
He places his birds in backgrounds that complement them and reflect the correct habitat; however, he chooses the colors and arrangements to match what he has felt about that bird.
Most of the birds Plank paints are those that can be found around the rich Ozark hills hugging his home in Salem, Mo. Some birds are migrants who pass through for a brief visit. The only bird, he thinks, in the Ashby-Hodge exposition alien to Plank's native home is the cactus wren, painted when he was in Arizona.
Plank's favorite birds to paint—when forced to choose—are the songbirds. He feels them the most and can interpret them more easily than raptors, for instance, whose demeanor seems to change less.
Plank is known for his numerous paintings for magazines and books, including cover designs. He has also shown his bird paintings around the country.
He has 12 paintings and 30 drawings in Arkansas Birds – Their Distribution and Abundance (by Drs. Douglas James and Joseph Neal, University of Arkansas Press, 1986); and was the sole artist for The Birds of Missouri – Their Distribution and Abundance (by Dr. David Easterla and Mark Robbins, University of Missouri Press, 1992). Full news release on Plank.

Article: Laparoscopic myomectomy: a 6-year follow-up single-center cohort analysis of fertility and obstetric outcome measures.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate fertility, pregnancy and delivery outcomes after laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) during long-term follow-up. In this single-center retrospective observational study, data were analyzed from 59 women aged 23-42 years with the desire to have children and who underwent LM for symptomatic uterine leiomyoma between January 2001 and December 2006 and subsequently delivered at our hospital. During a mean follow-up period of 73.55 months, the post-LM conception rate was 68 %. The proportion of miscarriages (n = 16) among all pregnancies (n = 55) was lower after (24 %) than before (43 %) LM. Thirty-nine (46 %) deliveries were primary cesarean sections (CSs). CS was performed due to patients' preference, placental complications, and uterine rupture (UR). Labor was successful in 62 % of all vaginal delivery trials. UR and placental complications occurred in 10 and 13 % of all pregnancies, respectively. LM reduced the abortion rate and increased the CS rate in our cohort. UR risk may have been affected by suturing technique, the size and location of myomas removed.Archives of Gynecology 02/2014; · 0.91 Impact Factor
Article: Impact of the nitric oxide-donor pentaerythrityl-tetranitrate on perinatal outcome in risk pregnancies: a prospective, randomized, double-blinded trial1).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia (PE) are associated with impaired placentation. Patients who are at risk of developing both these disorders can be identified by abnormal uterine artery Doppler at mid-trimester pregnancy. Nitric oxide (NO)-donors like pentaerithrityl-tetranitrate (PETN) reduce the impedance in the uteroplacental vessels and possess protecting effects on the endothelium. We tested the effectiveness of the NO-donor PETN for secondary prevention of IUGR, PE, and preterm birth in pregnancies at risk. Some 111 women who presented with abnormal placental perfusion at 19-24 weeks of gestation (w.o.g.) were included into a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study. The primary endpoint was IUGR and/or perinatal death. Secondary endpoints were preterm birth, PE, and placental abruption. Pentaerithrityl-tetranitrate significantly decreased the risk for IUGR and/or perinatal death [adjusted relative risk (RR) 0.410; 95% confidence interval, CI, 0.184-0.914] and for IUGR (adjusted RR 0.436; 95% CI 0.196-0.970). Preterm birth before 32 w.o.g. (adjusted RR 0.204; 95% CI 0.052-0.801) was reduced, but not the risk for PE. No placental abruption occurred in the PETN, but five occurred in the placebo group. These results suggest that secondary prophylaxis of adverse pregnancy outcome might be feasible in pregnancies exhibiting abnormal placentation using PETN.Journal of Perinatal Medicine 01/2014; · 1.95 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of sonographic pattern recognition by experts, a standardized morphological scoring system, the risk malignancy index (RMI) and CA 125 assay for the preoperative assessment of ovarian lesions in premenopausal patients.Material and methods: Diagnostic work-up of 1320 patients who underwent surgical exploration due to an adnexal mass at a tertiary referral center were included. We assessed the discriminative value of pattern recognition, a sonographic morphological scoring system, RMI and CA 125 by calculating sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and Cohen's kappa for each diagnostic approach while using histopathology as the reference standard.Results: Pattern recognition showed the highest discriminative power with an observed kappa of 0.53. Sensitivity and specificity yielded 0.76 and 0.97 respectively. Combining pattern recognition with CA 125 serum measurement in the context of a triage system diminished the diagnostic value (kappa: 0.24; sensitivity: 0.29 specificity: 0.97). For the RMI we observed a sensitivity of 0.54 and a specificity of 0.96 and estimated kappa value yielded 0.37. Omitting the CA 125 assay and using a morphological sonographic assessment system increased the kappa value to 0.45 with sensitivity and specificity observed at 0.61 and 0.97 respectively.Conclusion: Expert pattern recognition was found to be the method with the highest discriminative power in assessing an adnexal mass during premenopause. Additional assessment of serum CA 125 diminished the diagnostic accuracy. Standardized morphological sonographic assessment resulted in a moderate diagnostic accuracy. Supplementing the morphological sonographic assessment with CA 125 by using the RMI algorithm did not improve the diagnostic value.Ultraschall in der Medizin 06/2013; · 4.12 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: During fetal development a complex system grows and coordination over multiple time scales is formed towards an integrated behavior of the organism. Since essential cardiovascular and associated coordination is mediated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the ANS activity is reflected in recordable heart rate patterns, multiscale heart rate analysis is a tool predestinated for the diagnosis of prenatal maturation. The analyses over multiple time scales requires sufficiently long data sets while the recordings of fetal heart rate as well as the behavioral states studied are themselves short. Care must be taken that the analysis methods used are appropriate for short data lengths. We investigated multiscale entropy and multifractal scaling exponents from 30minute recordings of 27 normal fetuses, aged between 23 and 38weeks of gestational age (WGA) during the quiet state. In multiscale entropy, we found complexity lower than that of non-correlated white noise over all 20 coarse graining time scales investigated. Significant maturation age related complexity increase was strongest expressed at scale 2, both using sample entropy and generalized mutual information as complexity estimates. Multiscale multifractal analysis (MMA) in which the Hurst surface h(q,s) is calculated, where q is the multifractal parameter and s is the scale, was applied to the fetal heart rate data. MMA is a method derived from detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). We modified the base algorithm of MMA to be applicable for short time series analysis using overlapping data windows and a reduction of the scale range. We looked for such q and s for which the Hurst exponent h(q,s) is most correlated with gestational age. We used this value of the Hurst exponent to predict the gestational age based only on fetal heart rate variability properties. Comparison with the true age of the fetus gave satisfying results (error 2.17±3.29weeks; p<0.001; R2=0.52). In addition, we found that the normally used DFA scale range is non-optimal for fetal age evaluation. We conclude that 30min recordings are appropriate and sufficient for assessing fetal age by multiscale entropy and multiscale multifractal analysis. The predominant prognostic role of scale 2 heart beats for MSE and scale 39 heart beats (at q=-0.7) for MMA cannot be explored neither by single scale complexity measures nor by standard detrended fluctuation analysis.Autonomic neuroscience: basic & clinical 02/2013; · 1.82 Impact Factor

Article: Fetal functional brain age assessed from universal developmental indices obtained from neuro-vegetative activity patterns.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fetal brain development involves the development of the neuro-vegetative (autonomic) control that is mediated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Disturbances of the fetal brain development have implications for diseases in later postnatal life. In that context, the fetal functional brain age can be altered. Universal principles of developmental biology applied to patterns of autonomic control may allow a functional age assessment. The work aims at the development of a fetal autonomic brain age score (fABAS) based on heart rate patterns. We analysed n = 113 recordings in quiet sleep, n = 286 in active sleep, and n = 29 in active awakeness from normals. We estimated fABAS from magnetocardiographic recordings (21.4-40.3 weeks of gestation) preclassified in quiet sleep (n = 113, 63 females) and active sleep (n = 286, 145 females) state by cross-validated multivariate linear regression models in a cross-sectional study. According to universal system developmental principles, we included indices that address increasing fluctuation range, increasing complexity, and pattern formation (skewness, power spectral ratio VLF/LF, pNN5). The resulting models constituted fABAS. fABAS explained 66/63% (coefficient of determination R(2) of training and validation set) of the variance by age in quiet, while 51/50% in active sleep. By means of a logistic regression model using fluctuation range and fetal age, quiet and active sleep were automatically reclassified (94.3/93.1% correct classifications). We did not find relevant gender differences. We conclude that functional brain age can be assessed based on universal developmental indices obtained from autonomic control patterns. fABAS reflect normal complex functional brain maturation. The presented normative data are supplemented by an explorative study of 19 fetuses compromised by intrauterine growth restriction. We observed a shift in the state distribution towards active awakeness. The lower WGA dependent fABAS values found in active sleep may reflect alterations in the universal developmental indices, namely fluctuation amplitude, complexity, and pattern formation that constitute fABAS.PLoS ONE 01/2013; 8(9):e74431. · 3.73 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Fetal heart rate patterns provide valuable information about normal fetal maturation. For heart rate variability (HRV) analysis to be successful in prenatal diagnosis the selection of appropriate HRV indices is required. Those indices were organized according to universal principles of developmental biology. Key characteristics of evolution and self-organization are increasing fluctuation amplitude, increasing complexity and pattern formation. Related HRV indices were used to propose a fetal autonomic brain age score (fABAS). We estimated fABAS from magnetocardiographic recordings (21.4–40.3 weeks of gestation) preclassified in quiet (n=113, 63 females) and active sleep (n=286, 145 females) by cross-validated multivariate linear regression models in a cross-sectional study. fABAS explained 66/63% (training / validation set) of the variance by age in quiet and 51/50% in active sleep. We conclude that functional autonomic brain age can be assessed based on universal developmental indices obtained from fetal heart rate patterns.Computing in Cardiology Conference (CinC), 2013; 01/2013
Conference Paper: Assessment of fetal development using Multiscale Multifractal Analysis of heart rate variability[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The two lowest bands (very low frequencies and ultralow frequencies) of human heart rate variability (HRV) account for 95% of the total signal power. The underlying physiological processes are heterogeneous and complex. Hence, frequency band power analysis can be expected to be an over-simplification. Recently fractal scaling methods, such as DFA have been used to analyze fetal heart rate fluctuations [1].Computing in Cardiology Conference (CinC), 2013; 01/2013
Article: Fetal development of complex autonomic control evaluated from multiscale heart rate patterns.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Development of the fetal autonomic nervous system's integrative capacity in relation to gestational age and emerging behavioural pattern is reflected in fetal heart rate patterns. Conventional indices of vagal and sympathetic rhythms cannot sufficiently reflect their complex interrelationship. Universal behavioural indices of developing complex systems may provide additional information regarding the maturating complex autonomic control. We investigated fetal magnetocardiographic recordings undertaken at 10 min intervals in active (n=248) and quiet (n=111) states between 22 and 39 weeks gestational age. Standard deviation of heart beat intervals, skewness, contribution of particular rhythms to the total power, and multiscale entropy were analysed. The multiscale entropy methodology was validated for 10 min data sets. Age dependence was analysed by linear regression. In the quite state, contribution of sympatho-vagal rhythms and their complexity over a range of corresponding short scales increased with rising age and skewness shifted from negative to positive values. In the active state, age dependencies were weaker. Skewness as the strongest parameter shifted in the same direction. Fluctuation amplitude and the complexity of scales associated with sympatho-vagal rhythms increased. We conclude that in the quiet state, stable complex organised rhythms develop. In the active state, however, increasing behavioural variability due to multiple internal co-ordinations, such as movement related heart rate accelerations and external influences develop. Hence, the state selective assessment in association with developmental indices used herein may substantially improve evaluation of maturation age and early detection and interpretation of developmental problems in prenatal diagnosis.AJP Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology 12/2012; · 3.28 Impact Factor

Article: Development of integrative autonomic nervous system function: an investigation based on time correlation in fetal heart rate patterns.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract Objective: To describe the development of the integrative capacity of the fetal autonomic nervous system (ANS) accor\xadding to gestational age and emerging behavioral states, assuming that developing integrative ANS functions are reflected in increasing autocorrelation of fetal heart rate and fetal heart rate variability markers. Methods: Magnetocardiograms of 114 healthy fetuses (21-40 weeks of gestation) were recorded. Level of fetal activity (quiet/active sleep) was estimated according to characteristic heart rate patterns. Autocorrelation functions of (i) fetal heart rate and (ii) time patterns of SDNN (standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals) and RMSSD (root mean square of successive differences in normal-to-normal intervals) were calculated and autocorrelation was determined over different time scales. Age and activity related changes were examined using linear regression and non-parametric tests. Results: During pregnancy, autocorrelation increased in fetal heart rate signals and time patterns of SDNN and RMSSD. Short-time correlation (0-20 s) changed between 21 and 31 gestational weeks. Long-time correlation (75-300 s) accelerated later in pregnancy and did not increase in quiet heart rate patterns. Strong state-dependent changes were found with time patterns of SDNN. Conclusions: Emerging integrative ANS functions are reflected in increasing autocorrelation of fetal heart rate fluctuations over increasing time scales. The period from 21 to 31 gestational weeks seems to be critical to ANS development. Increasing long-time correlation is specific to active sleep states.Journal of Perinatal Medicine 07/2012; · 1.95 Impact Factor
Article: OS013. Reduction of preeclampsia related complications with with theNO-donor penterythriltetranitrat (petn) in risk pregnancies – Aprospective randomized double-blind placebo pilot study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Introduction NO-donors reduce the impedance in uteroplacental vessels. Consequently Lees et al. pilot study demonstrated that transdermal nitroglycerin positively influences pregnancy outcome within a high-risk collective. Furthermore the NO-donor pentaerythriltetranitrate additionally expresses cell stabilizing effects in endothelial cells. Objectives Hypothesizing an effect on endothelial health and uterine perfusion in pregnancies presented with pathological uterine perfusion at 20 weeks of gestation we performed a randomized, prospective, and placebo-controlled, double-blind study implemented with the aim to investigate whether the oral NO-donor Pentalong® (PETN) is suitable as a prophylactic drug in abnormal placentation. Methods We included 111 pregnancies presenting with abnormal placental perfusion (bilateral notch or mean RI > 0.7) between the 19th and 24th week of gestation (w.o.g.). Further risk factors (high-risk group: history of HELLP/preeclampsia/IUGR/IUFD/placental abruption, type I diabetes mellitus, hypertension, thrombosis/thrombophilia) were identified in 78 study participants. Fifty-four women received PETN 57 received placebo. Doppler velocimetry measurements of uteroplacental and fetal vessels and fetal growth scans were monitored biweekly with primary endpoints being the occurrence of preeclampsia, IUGR and/or premature birth. Results Within the first week of intake, PETN improved uteroplacental perfusion significantly in comparison to placebo (mean PI 1.26 ± 0.36 vs. 1.49 ± 0.44; p< 0.01). Overall frequency of premature birth <32nd w.o.g.(4 vs. 12), IUGR <10th percentile (15 vs. 29) and preeclampsia (11 vs. 14) were reduced. Although reduction in preeclampsia was comparably low in those 25 patients developing preeclampsia the outcome was markedly improved in the PETN study group by reducing the frequency of IUGR (4 vs. 10), diagnosis of preeclampsia before 32 w.o.g. (3 vs. 7) and premature birth before 32 w.o.g. (1 vs. 6). Furthermore 4 fetal losses occurred in the study group all in the placebo group. Conclusion NO-donors constitute an interesting option in the prophylaxis of adverse pregnancy outcome related to abnormal placentation.Pregnancy Hypertension: An International Journal of Women's Cardiovascular Health. 07/2012; 2(3):181.
Article: Validation of fetal auditory evoked cortical responses to enhance the assessment of early brain development using fetal MEG measurements.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The maturation of fetal auditory evoked cortical responses (fAECRs) is an important aspect of developmental medicine, but their reliable identification is limited due to the technical restrictions in prenatal diagnosis. The signal-to-noise ratio of the fAECRs extracted exclusively from fetal magnetoencephalography is a known issue which limits their analysis as markers of brain development. The objective of this work was to develop a signal analysis strategy to address these problems and find appropriate processing steps. In this study, a group of 147 normal fetuses with gestations between 26 and 41 weeks underwent auditory evoked response testing. We combine different approaches that address data cleaning, fAECR determination and statistical fAECR validation to reduce the uncertainty in the detection of the auditory evoked responses. For the statistical validation of the evoked responses, we use parameters computed from bootstrap-based test statistics and the correlation between different averaging modes. Appropriate thresholds for those parameters are identified using linear regression analyses by looking at the maximum correlation coefficients. The results show that by using different validation parameters, the selected fAECRs conduct to similar regression slopes with an average of −13.6 ms/week gestational age which agree with previous studies. Our novel processing framework provides an objective way to identify and eliminate non-physiological variation in the data induced by artifacts. This approach has the potential to produce more reliable data needed in clinical studies for fetal brain maturation as well as extending the investigations to high-risk groups.Physiological Measurement 11/2011; 32(11):1847-68. · 1.50 Impact Factor
Article: Multi-scale characteristics of resampled fetal heart rate pattern provide novel fetal developmental indices.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The increasing functional integrity of the organism during fetal maturation is connected with increasing complex internal coordination mediated by the autonomic nervous system. We hypothesize that time scales of complex and dynamic inter-dependencies over more than one heart beat interval reflect the increasing complex adjustments within the fetal organism during its prenatal development. We investigated multi-scale complexity and time irreversibility from equidistantly resampled heart rate time series of 73 fetal magnetocardiographic recordings over the third trimester. We found scale dependent changes in complexity and time irreversibility. The functions obtained from equidistantly resampled heart rate time series showed qualitatively similar curves compared to those obtained from heart beat intervals series previously reported. Time scales of fetal heart rate characteristics may provide novel information for the identification of developmental disorders in prenatal diagnosis.Conference proceedings: ...

Article: Fetal development assessed by heart rate patterns--time scales of complex autonomic control.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The increasing functional integrity of the organism during fetal maturation is connected with increasing complex internal coordination. We hypothesize that time scales of complexity and dynamics of heart rate patterns reflect the increasing inter-dependencies within the fetal organism during its prenatal development. We investigated multi-scale complexity, time irreversibility and fractal scaling from 73 fetal magnetocardiographic 30min recordings over the third trimester. We found different scale dependent complexity changes, increasing medium scale time irreversibility, and increasing long scale fractal correlations (all changes p<0.05). The results confirm the importance of time scales to be considered in fetal heart rate based developmental indices.Computers in biology and medicine 05/2011; 42(3):335-41. · 1.27 Impact Factor

Article: Steroids that induce lung maturation acutely affect higher cortical function: a fetal magnetoencephalography study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate whether steroids that induce lung maturation have acute effects on higher cortical function in the human fetus. Cortical auditory-evoked responses (CAERs) were recorded from 10 singleton fetuses between 29 and 34 gestational weeks by fetal magnetoencephalography (fMEG) using transabdominal auditory stimulation prior to and within 3 hours after administering 2 × 12 mg of betamethasone, at an interval of 18 and 24 hours. The components of the CAER complex were categorized according to their latency: P2pm (186 + 20 ms, 90%), N2pm (260 + 34 ms, 50%), P3pm (474 + 36, 50%). In almost all of these cases the peak latencies of the fetal P2pm (P = .042) and P3pm (P = .043) were delayed after exposure to betamethasone (Wilcoxon rank test). The trend was also observable in N2pm (P = .08). Administration of betamethasone to expectant mothers was associated with acute change in higher cortical functions in the exposed fetuses. Implications regarding functional brain development need further evaluation.Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) 09/2010; 18(1):99-106. · 2.31 Impact Factor

Roger Federer hadn't fallen short of the quarterfinals in a Grand Slam event since 2004, but that streak came to an end at Wimbledon on Wednesday. Federer fell in four sets to Sergiy Stakhovsky of Ukraine, 6-7, 7-6, 7-5, 7-6.
A seven-time winner at Wimbledon, and the currently No. 3 ranked player in the world, Federer had made to at least the quarterfinals in a record 36-straight Grand Slam events.
Federer won Wimbledon every year from 2003 to 2007, repeating again in 2009 and then defeating Andy Murray last year to win his seventh title at the event. He is tied with Pete Sampras for the most Wimbledon titles ever in Gentleman's Singles, and will have to wait another year to attempt to tie rival Rafael Nadal with titles at a major, Nadal earning his eighth at Roland Garros just weeks ago.
Meanwhile Stakhovsky, 27, had never beaten a top-10 player in 20 previous tries, nor advanced past the third round of a Grand Slam event. He is currently ranked 116th in the world. Today's victory should see him move up that list.

I love this! If I lived anywhere at all in the area I'd being driving down to see it asap. Sadly I live in Georgia, so I'll just have to enjoy the pictures - which are also great, btw :) Thanks for sharing, and congrats on a beautiful, crazy awesome yarnbomb!ReplyDelete
Wow, this is incredible! And in 91 degree heat? That's some serious dedication!ReplyDelete
This looks extremely cool. I think it would look even cooler if two thirds of the yarn below the eyes was removed, so that it just looked like the head of the squid.ReplyDelete
I also wonder what effect, is any, it has on the tree to be covered SO much.Replies

I'm wondering that, too, if it will have any ill effects on the tree, and how the yarn will fair through rain, snow, etc. Oh well, thinking ahead can go eff itself, I guess.Delete
The City arborist was so happy about this yarnbomb as it actually helps this Magnolia tree. The week before we installed the squid, the tree had been over-pruned which exposed too much of the tree to the sun, so the yarn acts like a sort of sunblock. As for weather, rain doesn't hurt it and it doesn't snow here.Delete
Amazing! and it looks wonderful. The goldfish is a great touch. Wish I could see it in person.ReplyDelete
Geeze Willit! Way to go being Debbie Downer! What effect it has on the tree??? I really hope that was a jk or else u need to go bk to 2nd grade science on how trees grow. The only damage they do is to the other trees being envious they don't look as good! LoLReplyDelete
AMAZING work! Truly breath taking!! Keep up the great work!! Don't let anyone tell u different!Replies
how is wondering about the tree being a debbie downer??Delete
This is the cutest thing ever! The people living around your neighborhood are so lucky to have this squid tree around!ReplyDelete

Masidi Manjun, tourism, culture and environment minister of Sabah State, said, ''We are ready to say 'no' to further expansion of the plantation,'' as the state is committed to conservation of the forests as well as wildlife there.
Although the state is committed to sustainable forest management, in which it tries to balance economic growth and environmental protection, indiscriminate logging is no longer a choice in a land so rich in biodiversity, he said after a press conference with journalists attending a workshop on sustainable forest management.
The threeday workshop is being hosted by the Organization of AsiaPacific News Agencies.
Malaysia is the world's largest palm oil producer. Together with its neighbor Indonesia, the country is rushing to increase production of palm oil amid rising demand for biofuels, the use of which is believed to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
But wildlife conservation groups have claimed that native species such as the orang utan and Sumatra rhinos are threatened by the clearing of forests for the development of the plantations.
Malaysia and Indonesia produce nearly 90 percent of the world's palm oil output.
Palm oil has traditionally been used in food such as cooking oil or in soap.
In order to meet both demands for more oil output and for protecting wildlife, the state's strategy is to boost productivity at existing plantations, rather than developing new plantations, Masidi said.
The strategy has yet to be implemented, however, as the government is still in the process of researching how to boost production, he said.
Sabah has designated the Ulu Segama and Malua forest reserves on the east coast of the state on Borneo Island which covers an area of about 240,000 hectors for an orang utan conservation program, he said, dismissing claims from the conservationists.
''We don't kill orang utans as the creatures are a very important component of our tourism industry. Killing the orang utan is tantamount to killing our tourism industry,'' Masidi said.
There might be some incidents of orang utans being killed by poachers, but there are a number of animals remaining there, he said.
But some of the local conservationists said the government is lax in its controls and illegal logging is still going on.
On Monday, a local newspaper reported that in an antilogging operation that began Friday in Sabah, authorities seized 20 trucks with 1,000 round logs believed to have been illegally cut down.
Without confirming the report, Masidi admitted such incidents could happen from time to time.
''Yes, there is a weakness in our system, but we think it is a manageable problem and we are making efforts,'' he said.//Kyodo news

"It's like we're glued together, Seth!" exclaimed the little girl one time while they were playing on the playground. He didn't want to move around much and was content with calmly going down the slide while she clambered all over the monkey bars.
"What's like we're glued together?" he asked her.

004 Dark Emily Huang had always been a nice girl. She had always been a quite a shy girl too. The reputation she had built for herself in school (and which she had to rebuild every year for every new class and every new teacher) was that of a quiet, diligent student who always turned everything in on time. She did have to work for her grades, and even if they weren't always spectacular, for some tended towards the mediocre side, they were consistent. If she ever procrastinated on anything, she certainly didn't act like it.
Emily also had this tendency to avoid human contact. If she was walking along Caf Lane and happened to pass by a friend or acquaintance, she would greet them quietly, though never addressing them by name. If she happened to see someone, but they hadn't seen her yet, it wasn't an unusual occurrence for her to head towards an alternate route to avoid speaking to them.

034 Stars As a math major, Emily should not technically have been a part of her school's chapter of the Society of Physics Students. But since she had many friends in the club, and since she practically lived on the second floor of Rohr Science all the time anyways, many of the boys in her Calculus III class had invited her to join them in their pizza partying. It didn't help that Derek had been in the same unit as several of them back when all the boys lived in Young Hall (some of them still did; thankfully Derek had been lucky enough to draw a room in Wiley). So then, he dragged her along too.
Truthfully she had only gone for the pizza. Having never taken a physics class before (she took two years of advanced biology in high school for the IB program and she wasn't planning on taking University Physics I until the next semester), Emily wasn't sure what to expect at a meeting for the Society of Physics Students.
I am currently a graduate student (Mathematics), so I should be on this site a little less often... To anyone who thinks that Math might be an easy major.. it isn't. :P

Suffolk: Two Door Cinema Club confirmed as Latitude 2014 headliners
The first acts have been announced ahead of next year's Latitude Festival in Suffolk with Irish indie band Two Door Cinema Club confirmed as headliners.
The trio have enjoyed several top 100 hits since forming in 2007, including "Something Good can Work" which peaked at number 56 in the UK singles chart.
Latitude festival will take place at Henham Park, near Southwold, in mid-July.
Speaking to the festival's official website, Two Door Cinema Club bassist, Kevin Baird, said that the band can't wait to take to the stage:
"It's really exciting for us to be headlining Latitude in 2014. Over the past 5 years we've made the progression from playing in the small tents to being close to the top of the bill on the main stage.
"Headlining a great festival like Latitude is obviously quite a big deal for us but we also feel like it is the next natural step. We're ready to headline. We're ready to smash it."
Other acts confirmed at the festival so far include singer-songwriter Billy Bragg and Californian rockers 'HAIM".
