Woman leaves meth as tip at restaurant
01/09/2014 // West Palm Beach, Florida, US // JusticeNewsFlash // Justice News Flash // (press release)
Oregon – An Oregon woman was arrested, along with her boyfriend, after leaving methamphetamine as a tip at a restaurant. As reported by ABC News, Erica Manley, 37, was being held on a $50,000 bond Thursday after being arrested in connection with the incident last week.
A waitress at the Twisted Fish Steakhouse in Seaside, Ore. reportedly stated she found the drugs along with a gift card in a sealed envelope left behind with a question mark on it. The restaurant manager is stated to have confirmed the incident.
Manley is expected to be charged with unlawful manufacture and possession and delivery of methamphetamine. Her boyfriend, Ryan Bensen, 40, has since been released from jail and is not expected to face charges.

Don George a possibility for Lucian Bute's next fight
By Scott Gilfoid: If super middleweight contender Don George (22-2-1, 19 KO's) can get through his next fight against Adonis Stevenson (18-1, 15 KO's) on August 11th, we could be seeing the hard hitting Stevenson in with former IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (30-1, 24 KO's) before the end of the year.

Groves-Sierra: George faces a puncher on July 28th
By Scott Gilfoid: British super middleweight champion George Groves (14-0, 11 KO's) fights Francisco Sierra (25-5-1, 22 KO's) on July 28th in what Groves hopes will be an easy tune-up bout on the undercard of the Robert Guerrero vs. Selcuk Aydin fight card at the HP Pavilion, in San Jose, California.

Denis Lebedev vs. Guillermo Jones on October 20th in Moscow, Russia
By Dan Ambrose: Denis Lebedev (24-1, 18 KO's) will challenge for the title against 40-year-old WBA World cruiserweight champion Guillermo Jones (38-3-2, 30 KO's) on October 20th at the CSKA, in Moscow, Russia. Lebedev, 32, will have the home advantage against the 6'4″ ring rusty Jones, but this still won't be an easy fight for Lebedev. Read the rest of this entry »
Vitali's mismatch against Charr might still leave open the door for a final fight against Haye
By Jason Kim: WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (44-2, 40 KO's) has put himself into a good situation by picking out one of the weaker heavyweights in the top 15 to fight in unbeaten Manuel Charr (21-0, 11 KO's) on September 8th at the Olimpiyskiy, in Moscow, Russia.

Khan: I'd box Danny Garcia in a rematch; I'd fight him differently
By William Mackay: The sting of his 4th round TKO loss to Danny Garcia last weekend seems to have knocked some sense into Amir Khan's head, as he now says he would choose to box Garcia if/when they ever fight again in the future. Read the rest of this entry »
Pacquiao should accept a 40% cut for Mayweather bout before it gets any lower
By Chris Williams: It's sad how some fighters sabotage their chances for big paydays by not accepting fair offers when given to them. I'd have to say that Manny Pacquiao is one of those fighters. Twice he could have have gotten a huge payday in fights against Floyd Mayweather Jr., and twice he came up with nothing. Read the rest of this entry »
What are Ricky Hatton's chances of success against Malignaggi?
By William Mackay: 33-year-old Ricky Hatton is said to be back in training and possibly making a comeback against WBA World welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi before the end of the year. Malignaggi has already said that he'd take the Hatton fight in a second if it's offered to him, because he wants the chance to try and avenge his 11th round TKO defeat at the hands of Hatton from 2008.

Burns vs. Mitchell: A pick em fight
By Scott Gilfoid: The September 22nd fight between WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns (34-2, 9 KO's) and Kevin Mitchell (33-1, 24 KO's) is one of those bouts where it's really impossible to pick a winner with any degree of accuracy because both guys come into the fight with so many god awful flaws in their game. It's a fight where you can close your eyes and throw a dart at the board and probably come up with the winner a lot better than trying to analyse who the better fighter if of the two.

Broner to show his stuff on Saturday against Escobedo
(Photo: Pat Lovell – Hoganphotos/Golden Boy Promotions) By Scott Gilfoid: WBO super featherweight champion Adrien Broner (23-0, 19 KO's) will be showing why he's considered by far the best fighter in the super featherweight division by boxing fans this Saturday night when he defends his World Boxing Organization title against his #1 challenger Vincenete Escobedo (26-3, 15 KO's) at the U.S. Bank Arena, in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Steward: Khan needs to take a break from boxing; he's been hurt too many times
By William Mackay: Trainer/HBO boxing analyst Emanuel Steward doesn't like the way that former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (26-3, 18 KO's) has been hurt so many times in such a short period of time in his still young career, and Steward believes that Khan needs to take a nice break to let himself recover from all the punishment he's taken in his fights.

Mayweather vs. Cotto II is the smart move
By Chris Williams: With a fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO's) and Manny Pacquiao not a real possibility with the Filipino still wanting a 50-50 financial split of the pie, Mayweather's best bet to make as much money as possible in his next fight is a rematch against Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO's) in December.

Rigondeaux says he'll follow Donaire up in weight to continue chasing him
By Dan Ambrose: WBA World super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (10-0, 8 KO's) plans on keeping the pressure on IBF/WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (29-1, 18 KO's) to try and goad him into a fight. Hearing the news that Donaire may soon move up in weight to try his hand at fighting as a featherweight, Rigondeaux says he'll follow right after Donaire after he captures all the titles at super bantamweight.

Kaylee MacDougall has a regular job with U.S. Cellular that usually doesn't involve her pulling out her guitar and breaking into song.
For this week, at least, her job description changed in that regard.
MacDougall, who works at U.S. Cellular's Greenfield store at 5096 S 76th St., was one of 10 musical talents culled from more than 9,000 U.S. Cellular associates to perform live in a company promotion on Twitter from July 31-Aug. 2.
The marketing event, "Call Someone Who Cares," promotes the wireless carrier by comparing its services against customer complaints, often voiced on Twitter, about the industry in general. The promotion uses actual employees who just happen to exhibit musical talent.
Though the event is happening live on Twitter, the finished videos are on YouTube. To see MacDougall in action (she is the blond woman playing the black guitar), follow on Twitter via #HelloBetter and #CSWC or visit U.S. Cellular's YouTube posting at http://www.youtube.com/user/uscellularcorp/videos?query=call+someone+who+cares.

When investors think of pharmaceutical stocks, they tend to see them as growth opportunities, capitalizing on a collection of novel, game-changing, and often life-saving drugs. Rarely does a steady stream of income factor in to the decision to buy a particular drugmaker's stock.
But the fact is, many of these companies dole out sizable dividends on a regular basis. Investors seeking cash flow as much as capital growth from the pharmaceutical industry should consider one or two of these five strong dividend stocks from that space. Some of these names might even surprise you: AstraZeneca (AZN) still pays dividends at a rate of 4.9%. Merck (MRK) as the pharmaceutical stock that paid out 3.6% of the stock's current price in the form of dividends over the past twelve months. Eli Lilly (LLY) out, and it's too soon to assume its 3.9% dividend yield is going to evaporate. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) offers the second-biggest payout among the traditional pharmaceutical companies. PDL BioPharma (PDLI) boasts the biggest payout with a whopping yield of 7.4%.

Originally written on Maize & Blue Nation | Last updated 11/13/14
Last night we had the opportunity to call into the Michigan preview episode with Andy from the Wisconsin blog MadTowns Badgers. We did the same show last year, so it was great to get back with Andy to go another round talking Michigan football.
The conversation moved from talk about 2011 and Brady Hoke's impact, to recruiting, to discussion about the offense and defense. And then we wrapped it up with some schedule talk and Big Ten predictions. As always, a big thanks to Andy for doing this and inviting me to be a part of it again. And hopefully, like we talked about on the show, we'll get another shot to talk again leading up to a potential Michigan-Wisconsin matchup in the B1G title game in December.

Photography group crusades for moral principle when it comes to wildlife
A Jackson photography establishment has began an initiative to ask the residents and visitors to act ethically and responsibly while placing themselves for photos of the world famous fauna of the valley. The Teton Photography Group's new program's impulse Shoot to Care, was not the incident that involves a cow moose at the Gros Ventre Campground previous month but, rather, wrong behavior tied to grizzly bear activeness previous fall on Togwotee Pass.
In 2013, wildlife viewers and photographers were systematically leaving cars half in highway and stressing the bears, told photographer Loren Nelson, who leads the steering committee for the pack. He told that Bridger Teton National Forest came to Teton Photography Group looking for a solution, they expected that it was something that they could deal with an educational program, so they would not have to add more regulations.
In July, as it happened, the United States Forest Service enforced a rule requiring that hundred yards of distance be kept between bears and the spectators in the Buffalo and Jackson ranger districts of Bridger-Teton. The brand new regulation brought the forest in step with their neighbor – the Grand Teton National Park.
Shoot to Care initiative is still in its early steps and would result in a new brochure which include details regarding top practices and also would train a cadre of pro wildlife photography ambassadors to patrol Jackson Hole's wild lands and offer tips to fellow photographer.

Shoot, Share, Sell – the theme of photography workshop
These days, more and more people are taking photography as a leisure pursuit and not just that; they are even taking it as a career choice. No matter what the reasons are, photography is reaching its popularity quite rapidly. Many people who gets engage in this activity know quite little regarding what a camera could do.
Still, many people who gets engage in photography know very little regarding what a camera can do – like how different exposure can produce a great variety of snaps. Lots of people who think of them as wishful photographers just work with a normal point-and-shoot camera or a mobile phone camera.
But pros know, even though it might be very easy for just around anyone to take a snap, it takes a lot of experience and work to turn a simple snap into a work of a bankable product or art. It is in this vein which known Bahamian photographer Scharad Lightbourne arranged a photography workshop named Shoot, Share, Sell last week.
He said Tribune Arts and Entertainment that he thinks the workshop was an illuminating experience for participants. It was his 3rd time arranging the workshop that was arranged at New Providence Community Centre. In the workshop, the participants came to know how to fully utilize the digital single lens reflex camera settings instead of relying on automatic settings.

Users looking to get their hands on a device have certainly faced some difficultly, but it looks like Google is getting things sorted out, as the device is finally finding itself in stock again.

Once bitten by the event bug she worked her way through the social and corporate event industry in the greater Seattle area, sharpening her skills working with technical corporations and national sporting events.
After 10 years working in a boutique registration firm, it was clear that the industry was lacking affordable technical innovation, practical data application and highly experienced customer service.

text: The term "emotionally unavailable" usually refers to those who create barriers between themselves and others in an effort to avoid emotional intimacy. Relationships with emotionally unavailable people are often depressing and distressing, as their partners end up feeling neglected, unloved and unwanted. Emotionally unavailable people will actually seek out relationships with others, but the problems begin when they are unable to commit fully to their relationships. Because emotionally unavailable people often behave as if they want to be in a relationship, it's important to be able to recognize the signs that a person is emotionally unavailable.

Wilson Combat Heavy Duty Recoil Spring 1911 Government 10 lb
Product #: 223458 Wilson Combat #: 10G10 UPC #: 874218000158
Product Information
Wilson Heavy Duty Recoil Springs are made combat tough to repeatedly take a pounding yet show a remarkable consistent performance every time a round is fired. Keeping a fresh recoil spring in your gun will dramatically reduce the pounding your slide and frame receive. Drop-in.
Technical Information
Colt 1911 length pistols and clones, including models from Para Ordnance, Kimber and Springfield Armory. These pistols all
have 5" long slides.
Factory 1911 recoil springs are 16 pounds in 45 ACP, 14 pounds in 38 Super, 9mm Luger, 38 Special Midrange, Colt Ace 22 conversion kit, and 19 pounds in 40 S&W.
The Delta Elite 10mm uses a dual factory spring rated at 23 pounds. Single recoil springs require that the Delta Elite recoil spring guide be replaced with a standard 45 ACP recoil spring guide.
Recoil springs fit over a pistol's guide rod and control how the pistol's slide functions.
In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs. There is no hard and fast rule as to how
much "Spring" a pistol needs. Too light a spring and the pistol opens and closes early and hard, increasing the felt
recoil and battering the frame. Too heavy a spring and the slide is hard to open and may not cycle completely, jamming the
Shooters who are using +P ammunition or self defense ammunition will likely need heavier recoil springs.
Shooters who are using target ammunition may be able to use lighter recoil springs.
Installation requires disassembly and reassembly of the pistol.

Colorectal cancer mortality after adenoma resection (August 2014)
There are limited data regarding the incidence and mortality from colorectal cancer in patients who have had colorectal adenomas resected. In a study that included approximately 40,000 patients from a Norwegian population based registry who had undergone resection of a colorectal adenoma, 1273 patients were diagnosed with colorectal cancer during a median follow up of nearly eight years [1]. As compared with the general population, individuals who had undergone resection of one tubular adenoma of any size had a lower colorectal cancer mortality, while those with two or more adenomas, high grade dysplasia, or villous histology had a higher colorectal cancer mortality. Studies are needed to determine if intensive colorectal cancer surveillance reduces colorectal cancer mortality among individuals with high-risk adenomas. (See "Approach to the patient with colonic polyps", section on 'Surveillance'.)
Colorectal cancer screening in older adults who have never been screened (July 2014)
For most older adults, it is reasonable to stop screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) at age 75 years, or 85 years at the latest. However, for older adults who have never been screened for CRC (23 percent of US elderly individuals), one-time screening appears to be cost-effective up to age 86 years, based on results of a modeling study [2]. In this simulation study, assuming a willingness to pay $100,000 per quality-adjusted life-year gained, colonoscopy was cost-effective to age 83 years, sigmoidoscopy to 84 years, and fecal immunochemistry testing to 86 years for patients without comorbidity and at average risk for CRC. Colonoscopy was the most effective, and most expensive, strategy for one-time screening. (See "Screening for colorectal cancer: Strategies in patients at average risk", section on 'Older adults with no prior screening'.)
Infection associated with contaminated endoscopes (October 2014)
In January 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that since January 2013, 69 cases of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM)-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) had been identified in the United States, 44 of which were from northeastern Illinois [3]. Further investigation identified 39 cases from one hospital [4]. The source of infection was subsequently traced to the elevator channel of a single duodenoscope (the endoscopes used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [ERCP]). No lapses in the cleaning protocol were identified. It is theorized that the complex design of the elevator mechanism makes it more difficult to clean than other parts of endoscopes [4,5]. After changing duodenoscope reprocessing from high-level disinfection to gas sterilization with ethylene oxide, no new cases have been identified. Duodenoscopes should be considered as possible sources for CRE outbreaks in healthcare facilities. (See "Endoscope disinfection", section on 'Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae'.)
Preprocedure testing for endoscopic procedures (July 2014)
The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy has released guidelines regarding testing prior to endoscopic procedures [6]. The guidelines recommend that patients not undergo routine preprocedure laboratory testing, chest radiography, or electrocardiography. Instead, preprocedure testing should be obtained selectively based upon the patient's medical history, physical examination findings, and procedural risk factors. (See "Overview of colonoscopy in adults", section on 'Preprocedure testing'.)
Intermittent dosing of proton pump inhibitors for peptic ulcer bleeding (October 2014)
Treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) leads to elevation of gastric pH levels, which stabilizes blood clots and improves clinical outcomes. As a result, PPIs are recommended for all patients with peptic ulcer bleeding. High-dose continuous infusions of intravenous (IV) PPIs have traditionally been recommended for patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. However, several meta-analyses of randomized trials have failed to show superior outcomes with high-dose continuous IV proton pump administration compared with intermittent dosing (eg, 40 mg IV twice daily). In addition, intermittent dosing could lead to decreased resource utilization and cost. In the most recent meta-analysis, intermittent dosing was not inferior to high-dose continuous infusions with regard to rebleeding, mortality, need for surgery or repeat intervention, or the need for urgent intervention in patients with peptic ulcers with high-risk stigmata (active bleeding, adherent clot, or a visible vessel) [7]. There was also a trend toward a decreased risk of rebleeding with intermittent dosing. Based on this cumulative evidence, for patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, we now recommend treatment with IV pantoprazole, esomeprazol, or omeprazole (where available) at a dose of 40 mg twice daily rather than a high-dose continuous infusion. (See "Overview of the treatment of bleeding peptic ulcers", section on 'Summary and recommendations' and "Overview of the treatment of bleeding peptic ulcers", section on 'Continuous versus intermittent dosing'.)
Prophylactic antibiotics do not benefit patients with acute liver failure (October 2014)
The role of prophylactic antibiotics in the treatment of patients with acute liver failure is controversial. In a retrospective study of 1551 patients with acute liver failure, antimicrobial prophylaxis did not reduce the incidence of bloodstream infection or mortality [8]. Our approach to antibiotic prophylaxis is to not give patients prophylactic antibiotics, but instead give antibiotics only if there is evidence of active infection, positive surveillance culture results, or clinical deterioration. (See "Acute liver failure in adults: Management and prognosis", section on 'Infection surveillance and prevention'.)
Ledipasvir-sofosbuvir for genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C infection (December 2013, MODIFIED October 2014)
Interferon-free options for chronic genotype 1 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are increasing. A once-daily combination pill of two direct-acting antiviral agents, ledipasvir and sofosbuvir, is becoming available in the United States and elsewhere. In several large open-label trials, ledipasvir-sofosbuvir achieved sustained virologic response (SVR) rates exceeding 90 percent in genotype 1 infected patients regardless of treatment history or presence of cirrhosis [9-11]. For all patients with chronic genotype 1 HCV infection, we favor the regimen of ledipasvir-sofosbuvir because of its efficacy, its favorable adverse effect profile, its ease of administration, and extensive data to support its use. For treatment-naïve patients, treatment duration is eight weeks for those without cirrhosis and a viral level <6 million international units/mL, and 12 weeks for those with cirrhosis or a higher viral level. For treatment-experienced patients, treatment duration is 12 weeks for those without cirrhosis and 24 weeks for those with cirrhosis. (See "Treatment regimens for chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1", section on 'Selection of treatment regimens'.)
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor for severe alcoholic hepatitis (September 2014)
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) has been proposed as a possible treatment for severe alcoholic hepatitis because it may mobilize bone marrow-derived stem cells and promote hepatic regeneration. In a randomized, nonblinded trial, 46 patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis were assigned to receive standard medical care (pentoxifylline with supportive care) plus GCSF or standard medical care alone [12]. Survival at 90 days was higher in the patients who received GCSF than in those who did not (78 versus 30 percent). However, the survival rate in patients who received standard medical care alone was lower than has been seen in other trials of pentoxifylline, so the role of GCSF in the treatment of severe alcoholic hepatitis remains unclear. (See "Alcoholic hepatitis: Natural history and management", section on 'Possibly effective treatments'.)
Risk of perinatal transmission of HBV in the United States (June 2014)
Administration of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination and hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) to newborns of women with chronic HBV infection significantly reduces the risk of perinatal HBV transmission but does not eradicate it. In an observational study of over 4000 infants born to HBV-infected mothers in the United States between 1997 and 2010, over 95 percent received HBV vaccination and HBIG [13]. Perinatal transmission occurred in 3.40 percent of births to hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive mothers and 0.04 percent of births to HBeAg negative mothers. Among women whose HBV DNA results and HBeAg status were known, no HBV transmission occurred with a viral load less than 5 x107 IU/mL, regardless of the HBeAg status. (See "Hepatitis B and pregnancy", section on 'HBV DNA level'.)
Screening for Hepatitis B virus infection in the United States (June 2014)
Infection with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can lead to chronic liver disease and is preventable with vaccination. The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has updated its statement on screening for HBV infection in nonpregnant adolescents and adults to recommend that individuals at high-risk for HBV infection be screened if they have not been vaccinated or if they were vaccinated without prior screening [14]. High-risk populations include persons born in regions with a prevalence of HBV ≥2 percent, US–born persons whose parents were born in regions with a prevalence ≥8 percent, injection drug users, men who have sex with men, household contacts of persons with HBV infection, and individuals with HIV infection. Existing guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease also support screening of high-risk individuals in the US. (See "Diagnosis of hepatitis B virus infection", section on 'Who should be tested or screened'.)
Glucocorticoids after hepatoportoenterostomy for biliary atresia (June 2014)
New clinical evidence demonstrates that glucocorticoids are not useful in the treatment of biliary atresia after hepatoportoenterostomy (Kasai procedure). In a multicenter randomized trial that included 140 infants with biliary atresia, compared with placebo, glucocorticoid treatment improved neither bile drainage six months postoperatively nor survival with the native liver at two years of age [15]. Moreover, infants treated with glucocorticoids had earlier onset of serious adverse events. This trial resolves questions about the utility of glucocorticoid treatment that were raised by previous retrospective or under-powered studies, which had conflicting results. (See "Biliary atresia", section on 'Glucocorticoids'.)
Nonselective beta blockers in patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (May 2014)
Nonselective beta blockers are used routinely to prevent variceal bleeding in patients with cirrhosis and esophageal varices. However, among patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), beta blocker use is associated with worse outcomes compared with not using a beta blocker. This was examined in a retrospective study of 607 patients with cirrhosis and ascites [16]. Once SBP developed, patients receiving a nonselective beta blocker had decreased transplant-free survival rates, increased rates of hepatorenal syndrome, and more days of hospitalization. Because of these worse outcomes, we permanently discontinue nonselective beta blockers once SBP has developed. (See "Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in adults: Treatment and prophylaxis", section on 'Discontinue nonselective beta blockers'.)
Imaging prior to laparoscopic cholecystectomy (October 2014)
In patients who need to undergo cholecystectomy but are at intermediate-risk for having a common bile duct stone, imaging (endoscopic ultrasound [EUS] or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography) is typically obtained prior to surgery to exclude a stone. An alternative is to proceed to laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative cholangiography. This approach was examined in a randomized trial with 100 patients at intermediate risk of having a common bile duct stone [17]. Patients were assigned to either laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative cholangiography or initial EUS (followed by ERCP if positive) and subsequent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients who proceeded directly to surgery had a shorter median length of stay, without a difference in complication rates or mortality. If a surgeon experienced with intraoperative cholangiography is available, proceeding directly to laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a reasonable alternative to obtaining preoperative imaging. (See "Choledocholithiasis: Clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management", section on 'Intermediate-risk patients'.)
Postoperative antibiotics following cholecystectomy (October 2014)
Antibiotics are often given to patients with acute cholecystitis to prevent infectious complications, but few studies are available to guide the use of postoperative antibiotics following cholecystectomy in this setting. In a multicenter trial that randomly assigned 414 patients with mild or moderate calculous cholecystitis to continue their preoperative antibiotic regimen or to receive no antibiotics following cholecystectomy, there were no differences in postoperative infection rates [18]. The results of this trial support the common practice of discontinuing antibiotics after cholecystectomy in patients with uncomplicated cholecystitis. Clinical judgment should dictate antibiotic management in complicated cases. (See "Treatment of acute calculous cholecystitis", section on 'Antibiotics'.)
Biliary sphincterotomy for type III sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (May 2014)
Patients with type III biliary sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD; defined as biliary-type pain without objective findings such as abnormal liver blood tests or a dilated common bile duct) are difficult to diagnose and manage. Some of these patients will have undergone cholecystectomy but continue to have pain. Whether biliary sphincterotomy benefits such patients was examined in a randomized, sham-controlled trial with 214 patients [19]. There was no difference between those who had a sphincterotomy and those who had a sham procedure with regard to pain relief. In addition, there were no subgroups that appeared to benefit from sphincterotomy, including those with abnormal sphincter of Oddi manometry. This trial suggests that biliary sphincterotomy should not be performed for treatment of patients with possible type III SOD whose pain persists following cholecystectomy. (See "Treatment of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction", section on 'Biliary pain'.)
Posttreatment surveillance colonoscopy in older adults (August 2014)
Expert guidelines for surveillance of patients with treated colorectal cancer (CRC) or adenomatous polyps do not specifically address when, if ever, surveillance endoscopy should be stopped. In a retrospective cohort study of more than 25,000 patients ≥50 years of age (nearly 5,000 aged 75 or older) undergoing surveillance colonoscopy at a single integrated California health system for a history of CRC or adenomatous polyps, older age was independently associated with a higher risk of post-procedure hospitalization, as was the presence of a Charlson comorbidity score of 2 or higher (table 1) [20]. The risk of post-procedure hospitalization and the impact of comorbidity should be taken into account when assessing the relative risks and benefits of periodic surveillance colonoscopy in patients with advanced age or comorbidities and a history of treated CRC or colonic adenoma. (See "Surveillance after colorectal cancer resection", section on 'Guidelines from major groups' and "Approach to the patient with colonic polyps", section on 'Surveillance'.)
Lack of increased cancer risk from TNF inhibitors in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (June 2014)
There is some uncertainty whether the use of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors increases the risk of cancer, particularly in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Less information has been available regarding such risk in patients with other disorders. The cancer risk of TNF inhibitors in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was examined in a study using a nationwide registry in Denmark, involving over 56,000 patients with IBD, of whom about 4600 were exposed to TNF inhibitor therapy with median follow-up of 3.7 years [21]. After adjustment for multiple potential confounders, there was no evidence that patients exposed to TNF inhibitors experienced an increased risk for cancer compared with unexposed patients. There was also no evidence of increased risk with cumulative dose, although risk with a greater duration of exposure or follow-up than in the study could not be excluded. (See "Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors: Risk of malignancy", section on 'Evidence of no increased long-term risk'.)
Vedolizumab for moderate to severe inflammatory bowel disease (May 2014)
Vedolizumab is a recombinant humanized, anti alpha-4-beta-7 integrin monoclonal antibody, an integrin relatively specific to the gastrointestinal tract and involved in inflammation. Vedolizumab has been studied for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and in May 2014 was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in patients with moderate to severe Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis [22]. (See "Approach to adults with steroid-refractory and steroid-dependent ulcerative colitis", section on 'Vedolizumab' and "Overview of the medical management of severe or refractory Crohn disease in adults", section on 'Vedolizumab'.)

I am having major issues at one of my schools with the magnifier showing up all the time and I can't for the life off me figure out how to turn it off (short of going round every machine and manually doing it).
I am running a server 2003 domain with XP clients and I am applying policies with GP. Does anyone know a setting in GP to turn this bloody magnifier off? or a regedit to disable it permanently.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Student violin for child 7+

My daughter wants to learn violin. Does anyone have any recommendations for student violin.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 01:41 PM
What ever you do don't get a skylark - they are cheap and nasty - they sound aweful and will convince your child that it is an aweful instrument and they cant play.
DOnt have any specific brands I would recomend - maybe Kawasaki some less expensive ones. I would ask your childs teacher for a recomendation - they might even know where to get a second hand one from some one who has given up/upgraded etc.
P.S decent quality strings are also important - dont go cheap on those either.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 09:17 AM
I teach violin before and I would recommend to get a cheap one, as your child will probably need a 1/4 or 1/2 after 2 or 3 years if she continues to love the instrument and time for you to buy a full size that is when you splurge on a good one, I've seen parents buy expensive violin at 1/4 an the child lost interest half way through the year, look in ebay there are affordable ones and 2nd hand is also good
Posted 10 December 2012 - 09:33 AM
Suzuki is good and affordable. I like amore.
Try a good music store for a good 2nd hand or a great deal for future trade ups.

I'm a violinist, and I teach. Absolutely do not buy a new small-sized violin from a music shop or some such. There's no need for a first-hand one at that age (in fact, 2d hand wood instruments are better quality) and it is much much cheaper to buy a 2nd hand one on ebay or something like it. Do you have any idea of what size you need? If you arrange to have a first lesson with a decent teacher, they should be able to advise you on that.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 06:48 PM
My DD does Violin, we were told DONT buy from Ebay ... we were sent a list of places that the school was happy for us to purchase one. You can also rent a Violin (not sure how much it costs). I found that the cost of the Violin was cheap compared with the lessons!
Posted 11 December 2012 - 06:51 AM
They told you not to buy from Ebay because of consignment, If you go to private tutors there is no problem buying 2nd hand from ebay one of my really good violin is from ebay and it is excellent. renting in the long run will be expensive, as the other teacher here I agree, buy a 2nd hand or a cheap one because kids wont be using a full size not until 10 or 11. Once they decided that violin is their choice of instrument then that is the time to think of purchasing a good one. To purchase one it is better to go to shop or try conservatories, sometimes there are student major who are changing instruments and those are of really good quality.
Posted 17 December 2012 - 09:11 PM
My DD does Violin, we were told DONT buy from Ebay ... we were sent a list of places that the school was happy for us to purchase one.
My daughter has been accepted into the violin program at school and we were told this also.
We were told to stay away from the cheap eBay one's (not 2nd hand quality brands - I'm talking about the $50 coloured ones) as they are made out of cheaper materiel's and do not stay in tune. I was also told that if they are dropped etc that they are most likely to crack instead of just dent or chip.
Our daughters teacher was happy for us to purchase from anywhere as long as she could see a photo or print out of the violin first.
In the end we purchased a brand new violin, fully strung and suited to my daughter for $150. It also comes with a cloth to wipe it down, bow, rosin and extra strings. It is an Enrico brand and is a 1/2 size. She has just turned 8years old but is on the smaller side.

It's considered bad form these days to surround your house with a big water-filled ditch to protect your stuff. But it still works for public companies.
Shares of corporations with the "sturdiest" moats have outpaced the S&P 500 index by more than six percentage points a year over the past five years, say researchers at Morningstar, which has done a recent study that details the forms these intangible-but-effective defenses can take.
About 10% of the publicly traded companies in Morningstar's (www.morningstar.com) 2,000-stock coverage universe boast a wide economic moat that can provide a sustainable competitive advantage for 20 years or more, says Chief Market Strategist Paul Larson. Another 50% have narrow moats that can keep rivals at bay for at least a decade, by the firm's reckoning. The rest are moatless.

Friends attract friends. That enhances Facebook's social connectivity value. And the more friends create new friends, the more Facebook becomes a virtuous circle, says Larson.
Similarly, our computer-based economy leads to increased switching costs. The more time and trouble a user invests in a service, the more it costs to switch to another.

Ironically, low-cost producers in an industry have the least permanent moats, because someone's always ready to undercut their profits or margins, says Larson,
