Clocks, nail files, vegetable peelers and license plates. Aside from being random items one might find in a house, these are some of the unusual materials Alice Sprintzen uses to make jewelry. The retired Oyster Bay High School art teacher can find beauty in almost anything. She calls her unique structured pieces, "found-object jewelry," or a "very good way to strike up a conversation."
From flea markets to garage sales and bike rides, "I can find it anywhere," the artist says of her bold and unconventional materials. She calls it her "hunt."
"I'm always looking down instead of where I should be looking," the artist laughs, sitting in her peaceful Syosset backyard. Sprintzen says she has always had an affinity for repurposing items that might have been discarded as trash or otherwise overlooked. As a child, Sprintzen was an avid beachcomber, and evolved to teach a course in "high tech art" at Oyster Bay HS.
"I never throw anything out before I can scavenge through it," she says. "I'm always thinking, 'What could this be used for?'" When it comes to her materials, "anything goes." Her most recent purchase was a flute.
The challenge of meshing and "manipulating" materials is something Sprintzen thoroughly enjoys. Like two people from different worlds, Sprintzen brings objects together that otherwise would never had met. Both the elegant and rugged objects bring their own individual story to the overall piece.
"I don't look at how precious things are," she says. "I find plastic equally as precious as a gemstone." In fact Sprintzen has 12 pieces on display in the "Driven by Art" exhibit in Jericho until the end of this month. Everything in the exhibit was made from cars, like her heart necklace made from a red taillight.
"Taillights and license plates have strong plastic. It's a beautiful material, easy to saw and polish," she says.
Aside from the materials themselves, people are a huge part of her "hunt." One woman, whom she had never met before, brought her three bags of eclectic antique buttons after reading an article about Sprintzen's jewelry in Newsday. Sprintzen still uses the buttons today. Those people, who are involved in finding its parts, are what make the jewelry genuinely one-of-a-kind.
Part of the complexity, cleverness and pure fun of Sprintzen's jewelry is trying to figure out just what exactly is made from what. The "Musical Flower Pin," for example, is comprised of clarinet parts, antique brass buttons and clock parts. The real talent of her work, however, is concealing those uniquely bizarre objects to create a cohesive, beautiful piece of jewelry.
"I think it makes people happy," Sprintzen says.
"Found objects" is a relatively new project for Sprintzen. She started it about eight years ago and has only started selling her pieces about two years ago. Her collection is up to about 70 pieces, from necklaces and pins to bracelets. "It's more than a financial transaction," Sprintzen says of selling her work. People tend to smile or even laugh when they see her pieces. "There is humor in my art," she says.
She says selling her jewelry was never a goal. "I don't even know if I have a goal, I just do it because I enjoy it," she says. "Jewelry is not a good way to make money."

Additional suggestions for archers: Test your quiver before you go. Everyone seems to wait to the last minute on this one, and then some folks end up with a quiver that drags the ground or is easily tumped over. What happens if you squat down with a full quiver? Can you run with it on? Remember, you cannot pick up an arrow once it hits the field, so a spilled quiver ends that battle for you. I remember they made us turn our arrows POINT UP year before last, so make sure your quiver is stable with your arrows upside down too. If you are using wooden shafts and removable heads (Baldar Blunts, Thistle Missile, Crane Break) make some extra shafts. Get them completely preped (fletch, nock, tape shaft) except for the head. When your arrows get broken you can use the time between battles to slap those heads onto a new shaft so you keep a full compliment of arrows. Don't forget the extra tape to do the attaching. Put your name and kingdom on all your arrows. It is the surest way to get them all back. I also number each arrow so if I loan some out then one or more are lost we know whether to look where I was shooting or where the other guy was shooting. Inspect all your arrows before you pack them. No need taking damaged arrows. Also, check the tape on the shaft to make sure it has not dried out and started to peel off. Replace any screwed up feathers, broken nocks, bad shafts, etc. Get an extra bow string. Even if you have a brand new one, battle conditions, armor mishaps and even packing miscalculations can result in a cut bowstring and you won't find a replacement on merchant row. Remember, archers need 2 athorizations -- combat archery and armored combat. If you forget to get that armored combat authorization they will not even let you on the field, even if you plan to wear a white diamond and be non-contact.

Readings on tap for new entry into Christian fiction market
- Written by Tri-State Defender Newsroom
"In The Shadows of Bliss" – a new entry in the Christian fiction market – begins in the land of Bliss, a heavenly construct where souls grow to fruition. They stay there until being born brings them to earth, where the "foibles and twists of life challenge us to fight human temptation and earn our rightful return to a state of Bliss."
First-time author Alisa Lynn tells the story of Wesley, a pure soul soon to embark on a surprising journey of discovery and adventure. Her intro tour kicks off in Memphis with advance public readings arranged by custom publishing imprint marketer Heritage Publishing, a Nashville-based firm.
"In The Shadows of Bliss," Wesley's soul bonds with the gifted inspirational singer Arie, for whom his spirit aches and can never be whole without. Preview readers say the book puts you in mind of "General Hospital's" famous romantic duo Luke & Laura, but with a resounding moral perspective on true love, intrigue and action.
"In The Shadows of Bliss" then morphs into a suspenseful adventure full of earthly pitfalls illustrating the twists of life many of us face. Wesley faces battles, triumphs, ego-driven self-will, errors, temptations and lusts, dances while driving in his Corvettes and more. Readers will fight for him as he fights to retain his soul, but will he make it
Lynn is a socially active entrepreneur, wife, mother and grandmother who enjoys worshipping and working in her local church. Known within her personal circle as a gifted writer with a passion for community service, Lynn found comfort and joy in keeping personal journals and volunteer community public relations. Those twin elements grew into her first novel and a series aimed at the Christian market.
The Memphis-area advanced readings will be Thursday (June 27) from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Playhouse on the Square, and Sunday (June 30) from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 300 South Main Gallery.

Energy Expert Sarah Palin Wrote an Op-Ed! With Words and Everything!
The Washington Post, a private Evite service, has some very linkworthy bait on its editorial page this morning: 600-plus words from Alaska governor Sarah Palin on a hot-button topic, "quitting." Ha! Whoops, see, this is why real news outlets have copyeditors.
I didn't mean "quitting." I meant "cap-and-trade." Ugh, take three. Of course I meant "cap-and-tax." Well here, Governor Palin explains it all for you…
There is no denying that as the world becomes more industrialized, we need to reform our energy policy and become less dependent on foreign energy sources. But the answer doesn't lie in making energy scarcer and more expensive! Those who understand the issue know we can meet our energy needs and environmental challenges without destroying America's economy.
Why is Nobama hell-bent on destroying our economy! What's in it for him! I guess he just gets some kind of sick pleasure from seeing everyone suffer!
Even Warren Buffett, an ardent Obama supporter, admitted that under the cap-and-tax scheme, "poor people are going to pay a lot more for electricity."
Warren Buffett did say that, and he is rich, so he must be right. The Congressional Budget Office thought otherwise, but the CBO is not rich, so screw them.
This op-ed has not found religion yet.
We must move in a new direction. We are ripe for economic growth and energy independence if we responsibly tap the resources that God created right underfoot on American soil.
I will forgive Sarah Palin for taking eleven paragraphs to get to God, but only because she knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America.

Meeting ethical concerns over HIV trials
Feature story
Meeting ethical concerns over HIV trials
03 December 2007
In the first of a special three-part web series, www.unaids.org looks at the state of research into new HIV prevention technologies, the ethical debates around the issue, and the steps that have been taken to answer the concerns. The question of HIV trials, and in particular the involvement of women and adolescent girls in them, will be the subject of a two-day conference being hosted by UNAIDS in Geneva December 10-11.
Nearly three decades after AIDS began ringing global alarm bells, no vaccine is in sight and medical advances are still urgently needed. Some significant progress has been seen – biomedical prevention modalities which have been proven highly effective in randomised controlled trials, such as prevention of mother-to-child transmission and male circumcision for HIV risk reduction— still have suboptimal coverage in the most affected countries. Concerted efforts are underway to expand access to these two HIV prevention tools, however nevertheless, the prevention 'tool box' needs to be expanded to provide people with additional choices, particularly for prevention of sexual transmission of HIV.
But medical breakthroughs in such a complex disease not only take time—seeking them also poses special practical and, perhaps more critically, ethical problems because of the inevitable need for testing eventually to be done on humans. In recent years, there has been criticism from activist and human rights campaigners about perceived failings in the organisation of human trials. Argument has focused on suggestions of insufficient involvement of local communities in the low- and middle-income countries chosen as sites for testing in the decisions that surround trials, or on the alleged inadequacy of information or guarantees for volunteers taking part in them.
The often very public disputes that ensue have led UNAIDS and other international organisations involved in the AIDS response to refine guidelines for the ethical conduct of human trials.
Need as great as ever
According to the latest data released by UNAIDS and WHO, nearly 7,000 people are newly infected with HIV every day, while the daily death toll from AIDS stands at nearly 6,000 per day, putting it in the top rank of global killers. In sub-Saharan Africa, home to 22.5 million people living with HIV (68% of the global total), AIDS is the primary cause of premature death. Although scientists have succeeded in developing drugs that can prolong the lives of those living with HIV, only a minority of people in need of treatment in developing and middle-income countries has access to it.
Since their launch in 1996, antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) have revolutionised the treatment of HIV-related illness and prolonged and improved the quality of life for people living with HIV in countries where they are available and affordable. But in poorer countries, and particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where women and adolescent girls make up 61% of the population living with HIV, the cost of drugs remains a huge deterrent to their use, and this is particularly so of second line drugs which people need once first line regimens are no longer as effective for them. "Halting the spread of HIV remains an imperative as each new infection translates into eventual treatment demand. Finding ways to slow HIV transmission is a top research priority," said UNAIDS Chief Scientific Adviser, Catherine Hankins. "Speeding the search for a biomedical breakthrough to complement changes in social norms and behaviours remains urgent."
The International Aids Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) estimates that— conservatively—an effective HIV preventive vaccine could avoid almost 1-in-5 of a projected 150 million new infections – that is 30 million – in coming decades. A highly effective vaccine could prevent 70 million infections in 15 years, it says. Modelling of the potential impact of male circumcision in sub-Saharan Africa suggests that male circumcision could avert 2 million new HIV infections and 300,000 deaths over the next ten years and avert a further 3.7 million new HIV infections and 2.7 million deaths in the decade thereafter.
Trials underway
There are currently some 50 vaccine trials underway, or scheduled, in a record number of over 30 countries, ranging from the United States to Uganda. Much of the cutting-edge research is being carried out in Asia and Africa, where most of the new HIV infections are occurring. But the announcement in September 2007 of the discontinuation of a leading HIV Merck vaccine candidate being tested in trials underlines how difficult this type of research and development is and shows just how far there is still to go before a vaccine becomes available.
There are many other prevention strategies undergoing human testing. These include vaginal microbicides, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), suppression of herpes simplex 2 infection and treating the infected partner in serodiscordant couples to see if it reduces HIV transmission.
Vaginal microbicides come in the form of creams, gels, suppositories, films, sponges or rings that release anti-HIV microbicide over time and could afford protection against other sexually transmitted diseases. If spermicidal, they might also be used for preventing unintended pregnancy. The ideal product would be odourless and colourless. As such, microbicides could increase the options for women who find it difficult or impossible to persuade their partners to use a condom. PrEP is another experimental prevention strategy which is being tried out in many parts of the world. It consists of anti-retroviral medications, taken as a single drug or as a combination, on a daily basis, with the intention of protecting people from acquiring HIV.
The successes achieved so far in the response to AIDS, and future hopes for further advances, have and will depend on such human trials.
Scientists may get promising results in laboratory experiments and from studying animals, but at the end of the day, the only way to find out whether a biomedical HIV prevention strategy is effective, whether a vaccine triggers an immune response to impede or delay the development of disease, whether an intervention has side effects, and the frequency and severity of them, the implications for drug resistance, is to try the strategy out on people.
Protecting rights
Getting scientifically valid research requires that trials be carried out where there are sufficiently high numbers of infected people, and people at high risk of HIV exposure, and where effective interventions will have the greatest effect. This often means dealing with some of the most socially vulnerable sectors of society, whether they are women and girls in sub-Saharan Africa, sex workers, men who have sex with men or injecting drug users. And often, people most at risk may not be well placed to protect their rights in the run-up to and the preparation of testing, during the trial programme itself or in its aftermath.
A lack of information and the relative powerlessness of some communities could produce situations in which there is an unequal power relationship between research sponsors and trial investigators, on the one hand, and communities and trial participants on the other. People could, for example, opt to take part out of the false belief that there will be some immediate therapeutic benefit to them, which could even lead them to behave in a more risky fashion because they feel protected. Building research literacy and community capacity to engage meaningfully in trial design, conduct, monitoring and results dissemination is essential to minimising harms and maximising the benefits for communities of participation in research.
Ethical questions
One of the most controversial incidents in the history of AIDS research occurred in the early 1990s during testing of a shorter, simpler, and presumably cheaper version of perinatal zidovudine prophylaxis. Zidovudine was already known to be an effective barrier to the transmission of HIV from a mother to her unborn or newly born infant. The trials involved randomised placebo-controlled tests and were carried out in a number of developing countries. Activists argued that a placebo controlled trial amounted to a violation of fundamental ethical principles because those being given the placebo were being denied a treatment that had already proved its worth elsewhere. Zidovudine was one of the milestones in HIV research and had been shown to cut mother-to-child transmission by over 60%, offering tremendous hope to pregnant women. Subsequent improvements have reduced such transmissions in high-income countries to just 1-2 percent.
Another well-known incident surrounded randomised placebo-controlled trials for tenofovir disoproxil fumarate used as PrEP, in Cambodia and Cameroon in 2004-5. The Cambodian trial involving sex workers was halted by the government when no agreement was reached on future access to treatment for those who became infected during the trial. The affair generated much adverse news coverage and the Cameroon government followed suit in suspending the trial underway there.
In Thailand, a trial in which the participants were injecting drug users was criticised by activists for not providing clean needles. In one protest that gained much publicity, the activist group Act-Up Paris stormed the display stand of tenofovir's manufacturer, Gilead, during the 2004 International AIDS Society Conference.
Health community responds
Much has been learned and acted upon from these experiences. For example, in 1993 the Council for International Organisations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) issued international ethical guidelines for biomedical research involving human subjects that stated that there was an ethical responsibility to provide treatment that conforms to the standard of care in the sponsoring country when possible.
In 2000 came the fifth revision of the Declaration of Helsinki with its stipulation that all those involved in studies be assured of the best "proven diagnostic and therapeutic method". The same year saw publication of the UNAIDS guidance document "Ethical considerations in HIV preventive vaccine research" which has now been substantially revised in 2007 in collaboration with WHO and an expert panel to reflect changes, particularly changes in standard of prevention and access to care. "Ethical considerations in biomedical HIV prevention trials" contains 19 guidance points for ensuring that scientifically rigorous biomedical HIV prevention trials meet ethical standards.
In 2005, following the tenofovir case, UNAIDS and others organised consultations focusing on 'partnerships' with communities, their involvement, standards of prevention and access to care. This led to UNAIDS producing in collaboration with AVAC "Good Participatory Practice Guidelines for Biomedical HIV Prevention Trials," It covers core principles and essential activities throughout the research life-cycle, providing a foundation for community engagement in research.
"With solid international guidance in place for community engagement and the ethical conduct of trials, there is anticipation that research, both underway in the field and planned, can offer a number of promising new avenues to prevent HIV transmission, improve treatment and mitigate against the epidemic's impact," said Dr Hankins.
The question of HIV trials, and in particular the involvement of women and adolescent girls in them, will be the subject of a two-day conference being hosted by UNAIDS in Geneva December 10-11. On Wednesday 5 December, part two of this special web series will take a closer look at the history and debates around the involvement of women and girls in trials. Part three, to be published on Friday 7 December will preview the Geneva meeting, featuring interviews with the four organizing partners UNAIDS, The Global Coalition on Women and Girls, Tibotec and the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW).

EUROfix II: Master Drawings
September 19, 2009 to February 23, 2010
EUROfix II: Master Drawings highlights a group of important works on paper from the 15th to the 19th centuries, with representation from the French, Italian, Dutch, Flemish, German, and British schools. The drawing is perhaps the most spontaneous and direct expression of the artist, and some believe that it reflects the true spirit of the creator. Whether it is through the first, swift notation, the detailed exploration of a form, or the laying out of a composition, the visual articulation is at its strongest in the act of drawing. Since the Renaissance, draughtsmanship has been regarded as an independent artistic activity, and the drawing as a work of art in its own right. At its root is the "idea" of the work of art as embodied in the drawing or sketch, a concept to be esteemed as highly as the finished object.

The poor are paying the price
As the government shutdown continues, the impacts are immediate and unconscionable: cancer patients denied treatment, pregnant women and infants losing critical nutrition supports, and the families of deceased military service members are even being denied benefits. The mounting damage of it all is stunning.
In response, Faith in Public Life released a hard-hitting statement from faith leaders calling for an end to the shutdown and rebuking Members of Congress who claim to be pro-life but have no compunction about taking food away from pregnant women and young children. One hundred Catholic, evangelical and Mainline Protestant leaders — ranging from nationally prominent voices to local clergy from coast to coast — have signed on, and more are doing so every day.
Almost 30,000 Faithful America members have also added their names, and next week they'll deliver the statement as a petition to the offices of Members of Congress who support the shutdown.
If you're a faith leader and would like to add your name, you can do so here. If you're a lay person, you can sign the statement here. The handful of reckless legislators who are behind the current crisis need to hear from all of us.
The March for Citizenship forges on
In a stirring display of commitment and courage yesterday, more than 200 people — including faith leaders and eight Members of Congress — mounted a civil disobedience action on Capitol Hill to call attention to the moral urgency of reforming our unjust immigration system. With civil rights movement leader Rep. John Lewis among those arrested, the echoes of historic struggles for equality were clear.
Earlier in the day, influential clergy leaders held a press at the Capitol directly challenging House leadership on this issue, and in the afternoon tens of thousands of people gathered on the National Mall to tell Congress to get back to work on reform that protects families and builds a path to citizenship. This came on the heels of a National Day of Immigrant Dignity and Respect last Saturday that featured 180 events in 40 states, many of which had religious leaders playing key roles.
In a promising sign that our community's hard work is paying off, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) – the 4th ranking House Republican – told Univision this weekend that the House will pass immigration reform this year.
Ending the government shutdown, averting the economic catastrophe that will occur if Congress defaults on our nation's bills, and reforming our immigration system are grave political challenges that share a common solution. House Speaker John Boehner must defy the radicals in his caucus who have forgotten their responsibility to serve the common good and protect American families.

the only people who'll be worse off are the phone companies and their shareholders, so screw 'em. And while we're at it, the ongoing Text Message costs, and Roaming cost reviews need to produce guidlines/legislation quickly too. We're being gouged by these cowboys in what is, now, a mature market.
I'll bet no more than 18 months before the first price-fixing review hits the industry too.
Paris because, well, you remember why....
Surprise, surprise
The mobile phone companies don't want people to be able to choose to leave their network for cheaper. Quelle surprise!
Anyone else remember last year when the banks came under threat for their unreasonable (and legally questionable) bank charges. They also spouted some crap about our banking being cheaper than other countries', and how if they were forced to stop charging unreasonable prices for overdrafts, they'd be 'forced' to start charging for other things instead.
Pure FUD to scare Joe Public away from joining the revolution.
Considering that you usually leave a phone company because you're unhappy with their service, you shouldn't have to award them a special payout for the privilege. "Here Vodafone, you've screwed me over too many times. Have a lump sum of money as punishment!"
Sounds great
So 40 million people will chuck their mobile phones if the cap on termination rates goes ahead? That's 40 million less people who will talk loudly on trains and 40 million less people who probably don't need a mobile.
How is that a bad thing for us ?
They were always going to fight it
Kudos to 3 for standing apart from the crowd.
As a Brit recently arrived in Canada used to (relatively) cheap mobile service I'm chuffed to see the European govt stepping in to protect the consumer. Just recently one of the largest networks here spontaneously began charging for incoming texts - ontop of the already gouge-level pricing for sending them. Apart from a late-in-the-day bleat from a solitary MP which was quickly stifled as 'the market should decide what consumers should pay, not government', nothing was done.
Crying wolf to protect the perfect scam
We all know these companies love to screw their customers, but the insanely high termination charges allowed them to go one better and screw *other* companies' customers instead: if Vodafone charge me too much to make calls to other people, I can switch - but if they demand an arm and a leg from other people to call me, there's nothing they can do about it short of not calling me. It doesn't matter if O2 or Orange would be cheaper, because they aren't making that choice!
It's good to see one telco being honest enough to admit, in effect, that it's all just a scam. It infuriates me whenever I have to call a mobile that I know I'm being screwed by whichever company is terminating the call - for that matter, I feel the same way about incoming calls, knowing that the caller is being screwed for calling me. Yes, they'll either have to eat a slight drop in profits, or push prices up a bit somewhere else - the same is true of ending *any* price gouging, though!
Bravo, Big Five
Thanks guys. I'm so glad we've got you to look after our interests for us. If it wasn't for you, I'm sure we'd be absolutely done over by the government.
dont cap it remove it
if they want to get funny ,dont just cap it, remove it.
and the day they charge consumers for receiving calls is the day we all stop using them as our main source of phone call business,that wount do any good for their collective executive bank ballances.
after all, the laptops are getting smaller by the month, so we can just switch to them and a real broadband Wimax supplyer if the wireless freqs dont get sold off to these current mobile phone vultures.
Corporate -> English translation
"The study comes from Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telecom Italia, Telefonica and Vodafone, and finds that capping termination fees "would not necessarily lead to lower overall costs for owning and using a phone", not to mention leading to millions of people giving up mobile use entirely, and (quite possibly) the end of the world as we know it."
Translation: We have a god-given right to make profits at this level and if you stop us shafting other companies' customers we'll just shaft our own customers to make up the shortfall. All the talk of a free market means nothing. If we all do it the customers won't have a choice.

She was my mother-in-law, a sweet wonderful lady, she will be missed by family and friends. I think most of us who knew her well will miss her humor, she was a very funny lady.
Amazing! :)

Reducing Episodes by Septal Pacing Efficacy Confirmation Trial (RESPECT)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to find out if specialized programs in the AT500 and EnRhythm pacemakers will reduce the number of irregular heartbeat in the upper chamber of the heart and reduce symptoms (such as shortness of breath, dizziness, and others).
Atrial Fibrillation
Tachycardia, Supraventricular
Device: Intervention Pacing Features
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Subject)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|Reducing Episodes by Septal Pacing Efficacy Confirmation Trial (RESPECT)
- Rate of Symptomatic Atrial Tachycardia/Atrial Fibrillation Episodes Per Subject Per Month [ Time Frame: 6-months (per Intervention) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The frequency of symptomatic atrial tachycardia/atrial fibrillation (AT/AF) episodes as measured by the Patient Assistant and retrieved from save-to-disk information. For each subject and programming period (3-9 month period and 9-15 month period), the rate of symptomatic AT/AF episodes was computed by summing the total number of Patient Assistant activations during device recorded AT/AF episodes divided by months of device follow-up in each study period. Within each subject, the ON minus OFF difference in rate of symptomatic AT/AF was computed
- Evaluate Subject Symptoms With the Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Symptom Checklist [ Time Frame: 6 months (per Intervention) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The AF symptom checklist (SCL) is a 16 item questionnaire measuring the frequency of 16 arrhythmia related symptoms such as tiredness/lack of energy, heart fluttering/skipping, heart racing, lightheadedness, etc. Symptom frequency is rated as never (scored as 0), rarely (scored as 1), sometimes (scored as 2), often (scored as 3), and always (scored as 4). Scores are summed across each subject and timepoint and range from 0 (no symptoms) to 64 (always symptoms). For each subject the 9 month and 15 months scores were summed respectively and ON minus OFF differences computed.
- Time to First Cardioversion (Changing an Abnormal Heart Rhythm Into a Normal One by Using Either Medication or Electrical Shock) [ Time Frame: 6 months (per Intervention) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The dates of cardioversions attempted for atrial fibrillation (AF) since the previous study visit were collected at the 3, 9, and 15 month follow-up visits. For each randomized subject, the months to first attempted cardioversion during each randomized study period (3-9 months and 9-15 months) was determined. A repeated measures Cox proportional hazards model was used to compare the attempted cardioversion rate during periods of time where the pacing features were programmed ON versus OFF.
- Atrial Tachycardia/Atrial Fibrillation (AT/AF) Burden [ Time Frame: 6 months (per Intervention) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]AT/AF burden is defined as the sum of the duration of all atrial arrhythmias as recorded by the device divided by the device follow-up time during the programming period expressed as hours of atrial arrhythmia per day.
|Study Start Date:
|February 2004
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|November 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: On-Off
Subjects have intervention pacing features turned On according to randomization assignment in the first crossover period then Off in the second period.
Device: Intervention Pacing Features
Intervention pacing features (atrial rate stabilization algorithm, atrial preference pacing algorithm, post mode switch overdrive pacing algorithm) in the pacemaker.
Active Comparator: Off-On
Subjects have intervention pacing features turned Off according to the randomization assignment for the first crossover period and then On in the second period.
Device: Intervention Pacing Features
Intervention pacing features (atrial rate stabilization algorithm, atrial preference pacing algorithm, post mode switch overdrive pacing algorithm) in the pacemaker.
No Intervention: Non-randomized
Subjects that did not have device recorded episodes of atrial tachycardia/atrial fibrillation during the 3 month observation period post-implant did not qualify for randomization but were continued to be followed in the study. There were no programming requirements and symptom activations were not collected.
Detailed Description:
The purpose of the study was to confirm the AT500 intervention pacing effectiveness data previously seen in the ASPECT clinical trial and to gather additional data to understand the effectiveness of the intervention pacing features. Specifically, the goal of the trial is to demonstrate a reduction in frequency in symptomatic atrial tachycardia/atrial fibrillation recurrence with the intervention pacing features in patients with a pacing indication and a history of atrial tachyarrhythmias with atrial pacing leads located in the region of Bachmann's Bundle.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects with fast and/or slow heartbeats who are in need of dual chamber pacing (pacing in both the atria and ventricles) as determined by their doctor.
- Subjects who have a history of occasional fast heartbeats originating from the upper heart chambers.
- Subjects who have experienced at least two symptomatic episodes of fast heartbeats three months prior to enrollment.
- Subjects that are expected to stay on the same heart medications during the length study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects who have permanent (chronic) or persistent (not self-terminating) atrial fibrillation (fast heartbeats originating from the upper heart chambers).
- Subjects who have atrial fibrillation due to a reversible cause, i.e. electrolyte imbalance.
- Subjects who are current or immediate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) recipients.

The team rating almost as high as the division-favorite Houston Texans, and we will quickly learn if they are for real when they travel to Houston for their next game. Andrew Luck was brilliant as the Colts survived, but they will go in as underdogs against the Dolphins this week. All three will get to beat up on the Jaguars, who rated two touchdowns worst than then second worst team in the league (the Browns). The Week 1 ratings are: AFC SOUTH Massey Better/Worse 1-day rank Result Houston 1.9 1.9 MON at SD Tennessee -6.7 15 0.8 won at Pitt 16-9 Indianapolis -4.0 -2 -5.0 won vs. Oak 21-17 Jacksonville -11.5 -29 -26.0 lost vs KC 2-28 The 1-day rank is the average between how many points better or worse than average each team is on www.masseyratings.com and how many points better or worse the team did in that game than the expected point spread on www.masseyratings.com. A "+5.0" means the team was considered 5 points better than the average team in the league that day.

Khang Q. Le, 37, received the sentence from Solano County Superior Court Judge Robert Bowers. Le had pleaded no contest to a felony charge of receiving stolen property in April.
When he was arrested by Vacaville police in December, he was suspected of committing a number of thefts from Sports Authority in Vacaville.
Bowers informed Le that he is eligible to serve his sentence in one of the Solano County Sheriff's Office's custody alternative programs. Bowers additionally ordered Le to serve three years of formal probation.
According to police, Le allegedly took a shopping cart full of merchandise and sped away from the store in a white Dodge pickup on one occasion. A witness copied down the truck's license plate number, which officers traced to a home in the 600 block of Brazelton Drive, police said. Officers contacted Le inside the home, where they found property that police said was stolen.
Officers recovered more than $4,000 worth of merchandise.

Crysis is currently looking for:
restoration shaman
enhancement shaman
balance druid
holy paladin
We are currently working on Yogg-Saron 25.
Who we are:
We are a guild that enjoys overcoming the challenges of 25 person raid content, including the raiding achievements. Our raid hours are from 7pm-10pm server time (central time) from Monday through Thursday. Invites for raids typically go out 15 minutes before raid time. We have a pretty laid back atmosphere in the guild and a decent sense of humor. We also provide gold for repairs based on how our bank is doing, has been 75-100g per day for full members lately.
What we are looking for in a member:
-Attendance and consistency are the most important attributes we are looking for in an applicant. Our raid schedule is listed above, we want people who can consistently show up on time and ready to raid.
-We require that all members have and use ventrillo.
-We also require our members to do a bit of work outside of raid time, be it farming consumables, reading up on new boss fights etc.
-We expect our members to be able to take some constructive criticism without flying off the handle, and to be able to tolerate a joke or two in raid or guild chat.
-We expect that you will treat your fellow guild mates with respect and make the raiding experience as enjoyable as possible.
-We expect that you show some skill. Standing in the fire is not a good way to impress us.
-We expect that you will have maximized your gear and spec for what is available to you. If you have not had much access to 25 person raids, that in itself is not a problem. However, we expect that you have geared yourself from heroics and have your gear properly optimized with spell thread/armor kits on legs, belt buckle on the belt, the head/shoulder rep buffs, enchants and gems.
About Draka:
Its a medium population PVE server in the central time zone. The economy is quite stable. As of writing this there are two alliance guilds with heroic Yogg Saron kills and a small handful that are close. There is rarely a queue to enter the game, mostly around the holiday season.
If you think Crysis would be a good fit for you, please apply at • News

Tom: This is a pretty common problem, Nick, especially in parts of the country where snow, salt and rust are prevalent.
Ray: What happens is that there's a protrusion on the hub, over which the hole at the center of the wheel slides. The wheel is then secured to the hub with the lug nuts.
Tom: That hole in the center of the wheel just barely fits around the hub's protrusion. So if you have steel wheels, which I'm sure you do, and you have snow, salt and rust, which I know you do, the wheel and hub can become sort of fused with rust over time. That's what makes the wheel hard to remove.
Ray: Brute force tends to be the tool of choice for this job.
Tom: My brother wasn't paying attention when they taught this in mechanic school, so he also uses his sledgehammer for computer repair -- less successfully.
Ray: But more satisfyingly.
Tom: What we do when we change a customer's wheels in the snow belt is first take some sandpaper and clean off any rust or budding corrosion that we find on the inside of the hole in the wheel or on the outside of the hub protrusion.
Ray: You don't have to worry if you end up making the hole a little bigger. The wheels are centered and held securely in place by the lug nuts.
Tom: Then we grease both surfaces before putting on the wheels. That usually helps a lot, at least for the six months or so until the next seasonal changeover.
Ray: And if you do have a flat tire and need to change a wheel in some remote area, the advice you got is almost good.
Tom: Yeah, almost. What you want to do is loosen the lug nuts a little bit -- not a lot! Maybe a quarter of the way off. And then drive the car quickly for a very short distance (like 10 feet) and stop abruptly. Then put it in reverse and do the same thing going backward. That usually will jolt the stuck wheel free so you can remove it.
Ray: But don't just loosen up the lug nuts and go driving around for a while. That usually doesn't end well. Good luck, Nick.
Changing your oil regularly is the cheapest insurance you can buy for your car, but how often should you change it?

Knights move on to Memphis
Published On: Sep 30 2013 05:08:12 PM EDT
They didn't win the big one on Saturday. Instead of dwelling on the 28-25 disappointment against then #12 South Carolina, the 3 & 1 UCF Knights have adjusted their focus toward winning a conference championship.
The Knights kick off their American Athletic schedule this Saturday at Memphis, a program UCF has beaten eight consecutive times.
Kickoff is at 4:30.
Monday, Head Coach George O'Leary, along with Knights Clayton Geathers and Justin McCray, looked back at the South Carolina game and looked ahead to Memphis.

The Port Veterans of Foreign Wars has selected John W. Chalker, a much-decorated soldier and a Port police officer as co-grand marshal of this year's Memorial Day Parade. The Chalker family has a long tradition of military service, which goes back to Chalker's grandfather, Victor Chalker, Sr. who served in the U.S. Army Infantry and saw action during the Moro Insurrection in 1914 in the Philippines. Chalker's father, Victor, Jr., joined the New York Infantry in 1937 and saw action during WWII in the Pacific. Chalker's mother Mary, and Aunt Mae, were WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Services) during WWII.
The Port Washington American Legion Post #509 has selected their chaplain, Floyd D. Mackey, to serve as co-grand marshal of this year's Memorial Day Parade scheduled for 10 a.m., Monday, May 29. Born in Richmond, VA, Mackey never saw the ocean in his early years until assigned as a cadet in the United States Merchant Marine Academy to sea duties on the ship Santa Margarita. After graduation from the academy in 1944, he continued his journey at sea, which would extend over 19 months and span 80,000 miles during World War II.
There is an old Roman proverb that says "navigare necess est" which translated means it is necessary to sail. Many of us in this area live by that proverb - some more than others. We have our day sailors, are weekend racers, some who compete in other harbors on Long Island Sound, and those who are pulled to blue water competition, such as the Bermuda Race. Then there are those sailors who go for the ultimate race, which most would agree, would be the Volvo Ocean Race. This race, which was formerly known as the Whitbread Round The World Race, takes place every four years and is considered the world's premiere ocean race. This professionally crewed event covers 32,250 nautical miles in approximately eight months, circumnavigating the globe with the prevailing winds. It crosses five continents and four oceans, touching some of the toughest areas and most extreme weather conditions in the world. This year the Volvo Ocean Race has teams on board a new class of boats, called the Volvo Ocean 70, a longer boat with less crew, making the race even more challenging than in the past. The Race has nine legs, and one "pit stop." This stop happened to be the North Cove Marina in New York City.
At the Nassau Coaches meet on Saturday, April 30 Paul D. Schreiber Varsity Track athlete Richard Schmitz won the 1600 in 4:26 and came back an hour later to win the two-mile in 9:48. He was awarded a watch for winning both races. Richard came within 1.5 seconds of the Schreiber school record. The meet featured dozens of teams from all over Nassau and Suffolk Counties. It is a high profile invitational meet that attracts Long Island's best runners.

The 2008-09 basketball season for the Glen Cove Junior Varsity, coached by Bill Melillo, was an extremely successful one. This past season the JV posted a 16-2 win-loss record, one of the best in recent years. The team was made up of five sophomores and seven freshmen. It was an extremely balanced team, which saw four players averaging between 9 and 14 points-per-game. The team averaged 53 points per-game while holding the opposition to 43 points per game. The strength of this team was defense, holding 6 teams to under 40 points.
Offensively, the team was led by sophomore center Owen Valance with a team high of 14.2 p-p-g, followed by Taheem Vasquez at 10.6 p-p-g, Alex Hamm and Austin Bresky just under 10 ppg each. Bresky was the team's point guard and led the fast-breaking Covers all season while leading the team in steals and assists. Hitting three game winning shots within the last 10 seconds was Taheem Vasquez's forte, as he was the team's go to player in the clutch situations. Bresky led the team in three-point field goals with 19 followed by Vasquez at 16 and Milo Duchnowski with 6. Freshman John Fiorino was the fifth starter and contributed with some outstanding defense as well as clutch rebounding. The team was rounded out by some clutch play from freshmen Giofranco Aguilar, Eric Pajuelo, Brendan Ayala, Mauro Carignano, Yadieh Letelleir and Dennis Ramadan. At many times during the season they came in to put some great defensive stops on the opposition. Duchnowski started the season off on the injured list but became an important role player as he came off the bench to hit some very clutch long-range shots. Hamm was the most active player on the team, filling many roles as best defender, great rebounder, and lead man on the fast break.
The team started the season off with a huge win over cross-town rival North Shore in the North Shore tournament only to lose to Roslyn in the finals after losing Hamm to an injury in the first quarter. This put the team at 1-1 only to see them run off 11 straight wins before losing to Seaford in conference 48-46. This would be the team's only conference loss. Revenge of Seaford came on the last day of the season as Glen Cove came away with a tremendous defensive effort once again and beat Seaford 57-33.
The boys JV came away with an 11-1 conference record, followed by Wantagh with three losses (two to Glen Cove).
Things are looking bright for Glen Cove's future in basketball once again as five of these players are joining seven returning varsity players who recently finished second in their division at 7-5 this past season.
The future of Glen Cove girls basketball was on display Feb. 10. In what was a completely dominating performance by a group of hard working and dedicated young ladies, Glen Cove beat a Friend's Academy team 41-28. In their previous two meetings Friend's Academy overmatched Glen Cove.
"This game was our championship," said Coach Rotolo. "This game measured our total progress for the year. In the beginning of the year we played a non-league game against Friend's and scored two points in the second half. Our girls were extremely pumped up for this game. It was our season finale at home in front of a packed house against a team that easily handled us twice before. Right from the tip Glen Cove suffocated Friends with its now famous thriller style trap defense."
Eighth-grader Marcella Applewhaite paced the Big Red by dropping 20 points. This was her signature on an unbelievable season. Applewhaite hit her stride down the final stretch of the season. Over her last three games Marcella averaged 20 points.
"It's absolutely amazing", Coach Rotolo stated. "An eighth-grader scoring over 20 points in a JV level basketball game. She is a special athlete. The Glen Cove Girls JV basketball team is an exceptional bunch of special athletes."
The coach went on to say that Applewhaite is an amazing story that should inspire many young basketball players coming up through the ranks. After starting the season as an off guard, she was called on to take the reins at point guard. Coach Rotolo said he knew that she was mentally prepared to take on the toughest position on the court.
"I am completely speechless," Coach Rotolo expressed. "There are no words to describe my emotions about that game and the season as a whole. As an educator there is no better feeling than witnessing the transformation of my student athletes. These girls really made a mark for themselves. The girls at Glen Cove not only made history, they stamped monster footprints on their court and rejuvenated a program. The future of the program looks bright now that these girls have gained experience on the JV level. Welcome to new and improved Glen Cove Girls JV basketball."

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND EMPLOYEES Loews Corporation reported record revenues and income from continuing operations for 1983. Assets grew to ;11. 5 billion and shareholders' equity reached $1.7 billion. Per share earnings and other per share data in this Report have been adjusted for the two and one-half for one stock split declared by the Board of Directors on February 21, 1984 by way of a dividend to shareholders of record on Match 16, 1984. In addition, Management has recommended to the Board of Directors an increase in the regular quarterly dividend to ;.25 per post-split share effective with the June 1, 1984 dividend. This would be equivalent to a 108 % increase from the current dividend. Income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 1983 amounted to $298.6 million, or $10.76 per share. Income from continuing operations for the current year includes a gain on sale of the Churchill and Montcalm Hotels in London, England, amounting to $45.9 million, or $1.65 per share. Income from continuing operations for the prior year amounted to $214.8 million, or $7.20 per share.

Net income for 1983 indudes a gain on the sale by CNA Financial Corporation of its consumer finance subsidiary, amounting to $60.7 million, or $2.19 per share. Net income in 1983 also includes realized investment losses amounting to $32.1 million, or $1.16 per share, as compared to $5.2 million, or =.17 per share, in the prior year. Gross revenues were approximately ; 5. 3 billion in 1983, compared to $4.6 billion in 1982. Lorillard Lorillard achieved record sales and earnings for the eighth consecutive year, despite a downturn in the tobacco industry. While tobacco industry unit sales volume declined 4.5 96 , Lorillard increased its market share by one-half percent through creative advertising and promotional support of existing brands, as well as imaginative product development. 50 0 '79 '80 '81 '82 '83
Page 4: laf60e00
The industry's performance in part reflected the doubling of the Federal excise tax on cigarettes from 8 to 16 cents per pack on January 1, 1983. In addition, 14 states increased their taxes on cigarettes, principally in the second half of the year, by an average of 6 cents per pack. On average, taxes now account for 37 % of retail cigarette prices. Several factors contributed to Lorillard's growth in 1983. Our NEWPORT brand posted a significant gain in market share for the eleventh consecutive year, reporting 10.1 % unit sales growth-making it the fastest growing major brand in the 'idustry. No other major brand registered a gain of as much as 1%. Lorillard's continuing "Alive with Pleasure" marketing program for NEWPORT, introduced in early 1970's, has helped sustain the brand's impressive momentum. The January 1983 national introduction of SATIN-supported by the most extensive advertising and promotional program in Lorillard's history-started the year dramatically for the company. Tailored to appeal to adult women smokers, SATIN quickly won an encouraging market share. SATIN, which has a unique satin-like paper filter tip, is a low-tar 100-millimeter cigarette available in regular and menthol. Among plans for year two of the brand's development is a dramatically enhanced package which utilizes embossed gold leaf printing. Lorillard is the first cigarette manufacturer to unlize this new quality technology on a soft pack. KENT remains one of the nation's top ten cigarette brands. In June 1983, the GOLDEN LIGHTS brand was repositioned as KENT GOLJEN LIGHTS and incorporated with KENT III into the KENT family of brands. The combined financial resources behind the single KENT marketing program provide for a much greater competitive presence. The broadening challenge faced by the tobacco industry requires continuous forecasting and monitoring of legislative and regulatory proposals. To help meet that challenge, Lorillard's Chairman is serving as chairman of the executive committee of The Tobacco Institute, the trade association of U.S. cigarette manufacturers. In this capacity he has appeared before subcommittees of The U.S. House of Representatives and The U.S. Senate to testify on behalf of the industry in opposition to proposed revisions in the Surgeon General's warning notice in cigarette advertising and Packagi=1g Lorillard officials remain actively involved in efforts to maintain balance and reason in the debates concerning tobacco. We continue to encourage our employees, shareholders and customers to express their views on tobacco- related matters to elected and appointed officials. Such expressions are an effective means of communicating important interests concerning our company, and will help us avoid unwarranted restrictive legislation. 3

CNA Financial In 1983, CNA Financial again achieved favorable earnings and sales results despite the continuing pressures on profitability within the insurance industry. Even though the national economy regained much of its vigor during the year, the insurance marketplace remains highly competitive. Prices of many insurance products continue to be held to unreasonably low levels. No turnabout occurred in the long property and casualty negative underwriting cycle, and the industry experienced the worst underwriting loss in its history. Moreover, 1983 was also the industry's costliest year ever for catastrophe claim losses. In this difficult environment, CNA has proven itself a formidable competitor while maintaining consistent emphasis on a sound and conservative reserving position and increasing productivity and efficiency. During 1983 a number of actions were taken to enhance the company's competitive position. In the interests of efficiency, CNA consolidated personal lines processing in one facility and accident and health processing in another. These consolidations are part of an ongoing, wide-ranging program to reduce expenses while heightening productivity. To extend its marketing reach, CNA also opened new branches in four states. These facilities create a CNA presence in areas with attractive marketing potential. The company now operates 37 branches throughout the United States. The foundation of CNA's marketing strategy is a commitment to increasing the competitive abilities of its sales force. In 1983, the company more than doubled the number of its High Performance agencies. This was significant because the High Performance Business Agency program represents the strongest business relationship CNA enters into with independent insurance agents. This program provides agencies with an assurance of stability, as well as highly professional marketing and management assistance. In return, the business obtained through these agencies gives CNA stability by way of an assured source of growing premium volume. The High Performance program, which marked its fifth anniversary in 1983, has confirmed that it can meet agents' most urgent business needs while recognizing their inherent right to remain independent. Further progress was made last year in helping to provide agencies with greater data processing support to strengthen their internal efficiencies and marketing skills. In a related move, CNA played a leadership role in forming a consortium of six insurance companies to acquire American Management Systems, Inc., a computer firm that designs automated systems for independent insurance agents. The AMS concept permits agents to interface with a number of companies, and thus it correlates with CNA's longstanding advocacy of preserving the independence of independent agents. CNA's products are continually upgraded to anticipate and respond to the needs 4 the marketplace. Product developments last year included more competitive portfolios for -0 N Ln -4 0% N .+ -O 4

A new survey released on Thursday says a majority of Virginians support Governor Bob McDonnell's transportation plan.
McDonnell's plan would remove the gas tax and raise the sales tax to pay for roads.
It was supported by two-thirds of the over one-thousand people who were asked about it in the phone survey. Additionally, most people were opposed to adding taxes and toll roads.
