(Sponsored post: I was given a complimentary ticket to attend Cirque du Soleil's Viva Elvis at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NV, in exchange for a review of its show.)
If you have ever attended one of Cirque du Soleil's amazing performances, you know that you'll be treated to breath-taking acrobatics, incredible sets and costumes as well as unique story-telling. Those things are this company's signature.
Recently I attended their newest enterprise, Viva Elvis, at the Aria Resort and Casino, its permanent Vegas theater. It was everything that I would have expected from these award-winning producers, but there was a subtle difference with this particular show. It was in its tone. It was a more relaxed, graceful story that they told – a true testimony to the life of Elvis. Viva Elvis followed Elvis Presley's life from his early beginnings from going to the Army, becoming a movie star, getting married and being immortalized as an Las Vegas icon. His life was nicely chronicled in a graceful pace that I'm sure was due to the fact that this production was in partnership with Elvis Presley Enterprises and CKX Inc.
Don't get me wrong, the production did include gymnastics of incredible proportions, but it also evoked emotions – I found myself shedding a tear which surprised me. But,that was because you could follow this story. They used actual film clips and home movies to forward the story from personal milestone to milestone.
It was a wonderful musical tribute that utilized some of the Giant's most memorable tunes. Elvis' hits were enhanced and modernized in such a way that worked in this lavish production.
I did enjoy the difference in tone and pace of this show. Where I was on high alert and on the edge of my seat as an audience member for Cirque's MGM performance of KA, this show allowed me to relax into the story and not worry about strange looking characters popping around me chanting things I had no idea about what they were saying. I could understand every word in this production and could easily follow this story for it was based on a real life.
I had some favorite acts from this particular show. One is pictured to the left. Apparently, in Elvis' youth he enjoyed comic books. So to pay tribute to that, the show featured comic books characters like The Flash. These comic book athletes performed an amazing spectacle with trampolines that allowed them to walk up walls. It was absolutely fascinating and never became boring. I could sit there all day and watch them. It was fun, entertaining and highly enjoyable.
I also loved the sets and costumes. One set that I found extremely clever was how they made an American flag out of using long john underwear and white boxer shorts. Nicely done. I also fell in love with a particular polka-dot dress that was worn by women with giant hats that would have been fitting on Audrey Hepburn.
However, it was the wedding act that did bring a tear to my eye. I don't know if it was the fact that I'm just a softy when it comes to true love, but this scene was so well done. There was a giant wedding cake with a beautiful women in a wedding veil on the top. Her husbands were below her – clad in tuxes skating around as she sang. When the song was over, the grooms pulled out her veil and that became the screen which they projected real film clips from his wedding and other poignant moments from this life with Priscilla. He looked so happy at that particular time. You could tell how much they were in love. And I guess my tear was out of sadness for him. I only wish he could have held on to that love throughout his whole life. The life of a celebrity is at times cursed. I can't even begin to imagine what his life was a like as a legend.
In summary, be sure to visit Viva Elvis on your next trip to Vegas. Your toes will tap. You face will smile. And you'll leave with a little keepsake.
Elvis knew how to entertain audiences – as does Cirque du Soleil. The two are a powerful combination.

Much like three weeks ago when we interviewed Angelina "Little Egypt" Altishin for episode 38 of the Women Of Wrestling Podcast, we're going to look back at Tina Ferrari in GLOW to add another aspect to yesterday's WOW Podcast with Lisa "Ivory" Moretti – though this is only the first half, as the second will hit the site next week.
Needless to say, if you want details of how she got into GLOW, her training and her time there, you should really listen to the interview, as it's an interesting listen, but after the jump, we've got a couple of milestone matches from Tina Ferrari's career, including her feud with Ninotchka, the badass Russian who bears a resemblance to Ivan Drago, as Rocky 4 hit the cinemas at roughly the same time that GLOW was coming into being. The first match is Ninotchka defending the GLOW Championship – which came in the form of a crown – against Tina, and one look at the picture we've used for this post should give you an idea of who won that match, while the second one is Ferrari defending the crown against the former champ in a more heated affair.

- Executive Summary
Nuclear Energy
Texas has two operating nuclear power facilities, Comanche Peak near Glen Rose and the South Texas Project in Matagorda County. But more facilities are planned. Owners of the South Texas Project have submitted an application to expand their facility. And over the next two years, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission expects to receive applications for six more new nuclear reactors in Texas.
All U.S. commercial nuclear power plants use enriched uranium fuel pellets in their reactor cores. Texas' two uranium mining companies produced more than one million pounds of yellowcake (mostly uranium oxide) in 2006, more than 35 percent of total U.S. production.106
Nuclear energy has among the cheapest fuel costs of any option for generating electricity. Nuclear plants, however, are extremely expensive (often costing more than $5 billion). Nuclear power produces no emissions, though critics fear the potential environmental impact of accidents at nuclear reactors.107 Disposal of high-level radioactive waste also is a concern. A number of factors including new technology, rising energy demand, higher natural gas costs and concerns about greenhouse gas emissions point to a renaissance for nuclear energy. However, both regulatory and economic hurdles must be overcome before the next generation of reactors comes online.
|Per Million Btu (2005)
|$0.38 (nuclear fuel)108
|Direct Subsidy Share of Total Consumer Spending
|Federal: 20.9 percent; State and Local: none.109
|The transportation of fuel assemblies by truck, rail, air or water entails additional costs. Electricity generation entails transmission costs. Spent fuel storage and disposal represents an additional cost. Nuclear energy's subsidy share of total expenditures may increase since future plants are likely to qualify for additional tax credits and loan guarantees.
Economic Impact and Viability
|Wages and Jobs
|Texas' two commercial nuclear power plants employ more than 2,000 people with a combined payroll of nearly $200 million annually.110
|Regulatory Climate
|The federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) sets standards and regulations for nuclear power plants and grants Combined Operating licenses (COLs) to qualifying facilities. The COL process is expected to take about three and a half years. Nuclear power plants also must obtain a wastewater permit from TCEQ, a process that usually takes about one year.111
|Texas Competitive Advantage
|Texas has four operating reactors at two facilities, and the South Texas Project has submitted an application to expand its facility. Over the next two years, the NRC expects to receive applications for six more new nuclear reactors in Texas, two more at Comanche Peak and four at two new sites. These new reactors will require several thousand employees. Four of the 22 applications that NRC expects to receive for new nuclear power plants in the next few years are in Texas, more than any other state.112
|There are three companies with permits to mine uranium in Texas. Two are producing uranium and one has a mine in reclamation. A fourth company expects to be producing uranium by the end of 2008.
Availability and Current Infrastructure
|Estimated Resources in Texas
|In 2003, Texas had an estimated 18 million tons of uranium ore, or about 4.2 percent of the nation's uranium reserves. Texas' reserves could be refined into about 23 million pounds of uranium oxide, which theoretically could produce enough fuel assemblies to generate electricity for more than 60 million homes.113
|Current Fuel Production
|Texas' two operational uranium mines produced more than 1 million pounds of yellowcake in 2006. This amount is equivalent to approximately 261.5 trillion Btu.114
|Consumption in Texas
|Comanche Peak and the South Texas Project have a combined generating capacity of about 5,000 megawatts (MW). In 2006, nuclear energy supplied 10.3 percent of Texas' electricity.115
|Some countries reprocess spent nuclear fuel, turning some waste into new reactor fuel. Currently, the U.S. does not reprocess nuclear waste, but research by the U.S. DOE is underway. Reprocessing nuclear fuel would extend the availability of nuclear fuel by hundreds of years.
Environment, Health and Safety
|Greenhouse Gas Emissions
|No significant emissions.
|Air Pollution (Non-Greenhouse Gas)
|No significant emissions.
|Solid Waste
|Nuclear plants produce high-level radioactive waste. Currently, this waste is stored on site, either in containment pools or dry casks.
|Land Use
|Land is required for plant sites and permanent waste disposal. Accidental radioactive releases, though unlikely, could have substantial effects on the natural environment.116
|Water Withdrawal
|Depending upon the plant type, electricity generation from nuclear power requires withdrawals of between zero and 17,590 gallons per million Btu of heat produced.117
|Water Consumption
|Depending upon the plant type, nuclear energy requires between zero and 211 gallons of water for each million Btu of heat energy produced.118
|Water Quality
|Water is required for plant cooling. When discharged, this water is heated and can contain pollutants such as heavy metals, potentially harming aquatic life and reducing water quality, according to EPA. TCEQ regulates and permits these discharges. Uranium mining potentially could contaminate groundwater and surface water with heavy metals and traces of radioactive materials.119
|A permanent U.S. repository for radioactive waste being developed at Yucca Mountain, Nevada will begin accepting spent nuclear fuel no earlier than 2017.
Fuel Characteristics
|Energy Content
|One uranium pellet weighing 0.24 ounces contains as much energy as almost 1,800 pounds of coal or more than 18 million Btu.120
|Although uranium is technically a non-renewable fuel source, if waste were reprocessed, the availability of nuclear fuel could be extended by hundreds of years.
Other Issues
|Dependence on Foreign Suppliers
|Canada is the world's largest producer of uranium, supplying 25 percent of the world's supply in 2006, while the U.S. produced only 4 percent.121
|Price and Supply Risks
|The price of uranium oxide has risen 79 percent since 1994, reaching $18.61 per pound in 2006.122

The MTA's Image Problem
Posted By Allan Rosen On March 5, 2012 @ 10:14 am In News & Features | 26 Comments
THE COMMUTE: [1] A system that is over 100 years old needs to be rebuilt and it also needs to be expanded. Since the MTA provides service 24 hours a day, maintaining the system is difficult. Several years ago, there were TV stories about how track workers were being paid for an eight hour shift and actually worked for only four hours a day. The reasons were several:
Recognizing these problems, the MTA recently started a program called FASTRACK, whereby an entire line is shut down for a week or so from 10:00 p.m. to about 6:00 a.m. to speed up the work to be done. They claimed that on the three subway lines — the Lexington, the Broadway-7th Avenue, and the Sixth Avenue — where it has already been tried, it has been a huge success [2].
Reviews from commuters have been mixed. Some do not mind the inconvenience if the work is speeded up. Others think the inconvenience of having an entire line shut down at 10:00 p.m. is too great of an inconvenience.
I tend to support the MTA on this one. If greater efficiencies can be attained through closing an entire line for four consecutive weeknights, rather than working mid-days for a much longer period of time, then it is the correct approach. But here is where I have a problem. In a statement made by Chairman Joe Lhota last week, in an interview [3] with The New York Daily News, Lhota stated:
"It will never be smooth sailing across the 468-station subway system on weekends because there are so many repairs to be made. When you look at how old the system is, I don't think I can tell you that there is ever going to be a time when we will not be in need of repair and renovation and rehabilitation of our system."
So what he is saying is that the system is falling apart at the same or a faster rate than which it can be repaired. While there will always be needed repairs, he doesn't state or imply that the need to shut down lines on weekends will ever decrease. Perhaps he is just being honest and giving us a fair assessment. But how do you ask people to put up with the inconvenience of taking an entire line out of service for four nights in a row, tell them that this is a more efficient way of doing business, and at the same time also say that the work will never be completed and weekend closures will need to continue at the same pace indefinitely?
If FASTRACK is not intended to reduce the need for weekend closures, Lhota needs to make that clear, because many are assuming that it is. Back in the 1960s and 1970s it was unheard of for a subway line to be taken out of service. Occasionally on mid-days, expresses would run on local tracks or vice-versa so that repairs could be made. It is also true that during that time much of the needed maintenance also was deferred.
In the 1980s, the MTA started to play catch up. Every weekend, portions of one or two lines would shut down. This slowly started to increase to three to five lines. Now it is not uncommon for maintenance to be done on 12 to 14 lines on any given weekend. One would think that the MTA has been making some progress. Now they have introduced FASTRACK to speed up the maintenance even more.
So Lhota's most recent statement, that it will never be smooth sailing on weekends, is disheartening, especially when the city is asking everyone to leave their cars home and use mass transit. How can they if it is not running? We seem to be getting mixed messages. FASTTRACK is great but your weekend commute will never get any better.
Lhota's First Hundred Days
From Capital New York [4]:
"When I asked Lhota what his tenure would be judged on, he said, 'I think it will rest on bolstering and enhancing the image of the M.T.A., both with the riders, our customers, as well as elected officials, union leadership, board members and the media. I think that is instrumental to putting the M.T.A. back on good financial footing. We've got to enhance the image of the M.T.A.'"
The way to do that is to build up credibility. To say that FASTRACK is a success, but it will have no impact in making weekend subway closures more bearable by reducing the number of lines closed or rerouted each weekend seems contradictory.
One reads stories about a newly-built subway station that is already leaking [5] and will require constant maintenance, one sees floor tile installed only a few years ago that is already cracking and poorly patched, and escalators and elevators that are constantly out of service, and you start to question the quality of the work performed, and begin to suspect that perhaps the reason it takes so long to repair the system, is that repairs either are not properly made in the first place, do not last long enough or have to be constantly redone.
Lhota is trying to improve communications to change the image of the MTA. He's traveled seven times to Albany to discuss transit issues, where he lobbied alongside union leader John Samuelson on February 13.
Capital New York continues:
"'That never happened with Walder,' said Jim Gannon, a spokesman for the T.W.U. who praises Lhota, even though the union is locked in contentious contract negotiations with the M.T.A. that may well influence the authority's ability to carry out its capital plan. Gannon points out that before implementing Fastrack, Lhota even consulted with the union beforehand about workers' concerns…Whereas Walder was very confrontational. You know, he just didn't show the union much respect.'"
Much More Is Needed
While Lhota may be starting on the right foot using his interpersonal skills, that alone will not change the image of the MTA as an organization that cannot be trusted, as long as they keep sending mixed messages. Lhota's statement regarding weekend service disruptions continuing at the same pace and FASTTRACK being a huge success seem to conflict with each other.
The MTA tells us that subway ridership is at an all time high [6] since 1950. But how much of that is due to their cutting back on bus service, forcing riders to make longer indirect subway trips because their former direct bus route no longer exists? They tell us that the experiment to remove subway trash cans from two stations has been a success [7] because those two stations have not generated more litter. But does that mean the MTA can now eliminate trash cans from the entire system, like they eliminated bathrooms, further reducing basic services? And with subway ridership at an all time high, they are providing less seating on subway stations [8]. Just too many conflicting messages.
An MTA Board member recently suggested [9] studying the use of smaller buses and lower off-peak fares to encourage people back to buses and to make it more economically feasible for the MTA to restore service on lightly utilized routes. But New York City Transit (NYCT) was less than enthused about that proposal. A few weeks ago I mentioned that one of NYCT's own planners suggested studying separate Friday bus schedules [10] to reduce unneeded service on some routes. NYCT was not enthused about that idea either.
Genting, the developer of the proposed Queens Convention Center, has offered to pay a portion for new transit services [11], which could possibly include the reactivation of the abandoned LIRR Rockaway Line north of Liberty Avenue. However, the MTA has remained silent on whether it would be willing to reactivate the line, questioning the MTA's sincerity in improving transit services in the outer boroughs, with all planned improvements solely in Manhattan.
Then there is the story last week from Channel 2 News regarding EZ Pass glitches [12] and the fact that EZ Passes purchased through the MTA and used on the New Jersey Turnpike result in higher fees being charged than from passes purchased in New Jersey. That was not supposed to happen, and there are no plans to fix the problem. That — coupled with the MTA not willing to rectify a MetroCard glitch [13], whereby the MTA overcharges if one attempts to use a second MetroCard on a bus if the first card does not have enough on it for a full fare — does nothing to improve the MTA's image.
All these mixed messages lead to distrust of the MTA, since most riders do not distinguish between NYCT and the MTA. If Lhota really wants to improve the MTA image, he cannot do that by himself. He needs to correct known problems or explain why they cannot be corrected. He also needs to get everyone on board so that uniform messages are sent. When someone makes a suggestion, whether it is an MTA Board Member, an MTA employee, or a transit user, they must all be seriously considered.
The arrogance, that a single department or agency knows what is best, must end. NYCT President Tom Prendergast surely has his reasons for not wanting to consider smaller buses or lower off-peak fares, but if Lhota believes it is necessary to improve communication lines to improve the MTA's image, his underlings must also show a willingness to listen and better communicate.
The Commute [1] is a weekly feature highlighting news and information about the city's mass transit system and transportation infrastructure. It is written by Allan Rosen, a Manhattan Beach resident and former Director of MTA/NYC Transit Bus Planning (1981).

Climate Change Ignorance
Met accused of ignorance about climate change - Telegraph
Police are advising householders to install movement-sensitive security lights to protect their homes from intruders at night.
Jenny Jones, the former Deputy Mayor of London, a member of the Metropolitan Police Authority and London assembly member for the Green Party, accused the police of failing to address the "environmental ramifications" of Operation Bumblebee.
She said: "The Met simply does not get Climate change, and neither does the Mayor of London. They need a basic education in these issues before we all drown in our beds.
The average motion-sensor security light goes off five to eight times per night for around five minutes, meaning that a household would notch up 152 hours of extra wattage a year and add around 22,000 tons of carbon dioxide to London's carbon footprint.
Hours of wattage that is! It all comes down to priorities, are you more worried about Billy Burglar breaking in or the sea level suddenly rising tonight? Which is more likely to happen and cause you harm?
Maybe I should turn green and invest in a night vision rifle scope and do away with the krieg lights at The Castle....

If you are thinking of trying LATISSE® Solution (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03%, it is important to research in order to discover whether or not LATISSE® Solution is right for you. You might have questions about how the solution works, how long results take to appear and the safety of the solution. This section should give you some basic information regarding possible LATISSE® Solution side effects. Latisse Doctor can be reached at 1-800-958-6193 or begin today by filling out our Medical History Form to see if LATISSE® Solution is right for you.
The most common side effects experienced from using LATISSE® Solution are an itching sensation in he eyes and / or eye redness, reported in approximately 4% of clinical trial patients. Other common LATISSE® Solution side effects primarily occur where the serum is applied; these include: dryness and irritation of the eyes, skin darkening, and redness of the eyelids.
If you begin experiencing a new ocular condition (such as trauma, or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have an ocular surgical procedure, or develop any other ocular reactions (especially conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions) you should seek a physician's advice immediately, concerning the continued use of LATISSE® Solution.
Only use LATISSE® Solution on the skin of the upper eyelid margins at the base of the eyelashes. NEVER apply to the lower lid, which can result in the aforementioned LATISSE® Solution side effects. If you are using LUMIGAN® ophthalmic solution or other treatments for elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), or have a history of abnormal IOP, only use LATISSE® Solution under the close supervision of a physician. Call Doctor Latisse directly at 1-800-958-6193 to discuss your situation.
The LATISSE® Solution side effect of skin darkening on the eyelid may be reversible, however LATISSE® Solution use may cause increased brown iris pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. Increased iris pigmentation has been linked to LATISSE® Solution use.
Additionally, it is essential to keep LATISSE® Solution restricted to the areas for which LATISSE® Solution is intended; frequent contact to other areas may result in undesirable hair growth. Therefore, any excess serum beyond the upper eyelid margin must be immediately blotted away with a tissue or other absorbent material. It is also important to note that the results may vary for each eye; ie: there may be a difference in eyelash length, thickness, darkness, number of eyelashes or direction of growth, around each eye. These differences should fade if you stop using LATISSE® Solution.
When applying LATISSE® Solution serum, it is vital to follow the complete directions. Her are a few easy things to remember:

The death toll from sectarian clashes in Burma's coastal Rakhine state has doubled to 112 with over 70 reported injured, including children. The official figures surpass the bloodshed in fighting this summer and were released after President Thein Sein vowed to restore peace between Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims. But, authorities are struggling to restore order.
The sectarian fighting that erupted this week between Rakhine Buddhists and Muslim Rohingya is the worst this year in Burma's western Rakhine state.
Japan says four Chinese government ships entered waters near contested Tokyo-controlled islands in the East China Sea, as a territorial dispute between the two Asian giants drags on.
Japan's Coast Guard said the Chinese surveillance vessels spent several hours within a 22-kilometer zone surrounding the islands Thursday. It said this is the first time in three weeks that Chinese ships have entered the zone, which Japan considers its territory.
Russia's senior general says that rebels in Syria have acquired shoulder-mounted surface-to-air missiles, including a model made in the United States. General Staff Chief Nikolai Marakov says that officials need to determine who supplied the weapons to Syria's opposition.
Interfax news agency quotes General Nikolai Marakov as saying "that militants fighting Syrian government forces have portable missile launchers of various states, including American-made Stingers."
He did not make any direct accusation of how the rebels acquired the weapons.
Japan says it is engaged in talks with China to resolve a territorial dispute that has disrupted ties between the two Asian powers.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura on Wednesday confirmed reports that Vice Foreign Minister Chikao Kawai secretly met last week with senior Chinese officials in Shanghai. He said the talks were part of Tokyo's effort to continue to communicate with Beijing "at various levels" regarding the island dispute in the East China Sea.
As gray winter skies descend on Moscow, Russians are adjusting to a political winter. Since taking office nearly six months ago, President Vladimir Putin has methodically reduced civic space in Russia by advocating new laws on treason, blasphemy, libel, Internet censorship and curbs on public protest.
Then on Monday, Russians saw a new twist: a well-known opposition activist, Leonid Razvozzhayev, shouting to reporters that he had been kidnapped off a sidewalk in Kyiv, Ukraine, and forcibly brought to Moscow for trial.
Together, Abu Musa, Greater Tunbs and Lesser Tunbs amount to fewer than 26 square kilometers of sand and scrub. But their location in the middle of Persian Gulf shipping and tanker lanes near the Strait of Hormuz gives the islands huge strategic importance.
Spanish police said they have broken up a major Chinese criminal operation that illegally shipped Chinese products to Spain for distribution throughout Europe.
Spanish police chief Ignacio Cosido said Wednesday authorities detained 83 suspected members of a crime syndicate in nationwide raids on homes and businesses the previous day. The suspects include 58 Chinese nationals, 17 Spaniards and eight other foreign nationals.
Representatives of the Colombian government and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia [FARC] rebels are meeting Wednesday in Oslo for peace talks aimed at ending Latin America's oldest insurgency.
The talks in the Norwegian capital are the first between the two sides in a decade. They are expected to set the stage for a second phase of negotiations to take place in Cuba, which will focus on such issues as political rights and drug trafficking.
Cuba and Norway are serving as mediators for the talks.
European Union governments Tuesday imposed their toughest sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program. EU and U.S. officials say sanctions are vital to curbing Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions. But some analysts say the sanctions have failed to do that and are causing Iranians to suffer as the value of Iran's currency plummets.
Shuttling across the narrow Strait of Hormuz are Iran's high speed smugglers.
Using boats equipped with 200 horsepower engines, they take goods - everything from luxury perfume to livestock - from Oman across to Iran, avoiding import duties on the way.
Burma's president will hold onto his role as leader of the ruling party, despite concerns heading into the 2015 general election.
"The Party President is President Thein Sein, all the EC members agreed to this," said Union Solidarity and Development Party spokesperson Htay Oo. "The Vice Presidents are Thura U Shwe Mann, myself and Thura U Aye Myint — all together there's three."
Heading into the party vote Tuesday in the administrative capital of Naypyidaw, there had been talk the military-backed USPD might replace Thein Sein with his main rival, Lower House Speaker Shwe Mann.
French authorities say police have arrested 39 people in a sting on an Albanian and Kosovar heroin trafficking network.
Japan says it has spotted seven Chinese naval ships near one of its islands, as tensions between the two Asian powers remain high over a territorial dispute in the East China Sea.
Japan's Defense Ministry says the Chinese ships were spotted early Tuesday by Japanese aircraft about 50 kilometers outside Yonaguni Island, Japan's westernmost island.
The ministry said the ships were in the contiguous zone, an area just outside Japan's territorial waters in which Japan has certain rights under international law.
The United States will continue to funnel nonlethal aid to the Syrian opposition, and urges the international community to unite against Bashar Assad's regime, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said.
The State Department is providing $100 million worth of nonlethal aid to those seeking to overthrow Assad. The opposition in Syria rose after protestors brought down long-term regimes in Tunisia and Egypt.
Turkey says it has banned Syrian passenger planes from Turkish airspace in the latest sign of growing confrontation between the two neighbors.
Turkish authorities announced the ban on Sunday, four days after intercepting a Syrian passenger plane en route from Moscow to Damascus and confiscating what they said were military supplies on board.
Ankara has accused Damascus of using civilian airliners to bring in weapons for Syrian troops fighting an 18-month rebellion, and has vowed to prevent Turkish airspace from being used for such purposes.
President Hugo Chavez's election victory appears to mean that relations between Venezuela and the United States will remained strained. Chavez has been a fierce critic of the U.S. while nurturing friendships with U.S. adversaries like Cuba, Iran, and Syria, and his first news conference after his election seemed to reinforce some of those positions.

Nursing Diagnosis: Application to Clinical Practice
11th Edition
© 2006 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Risk for Impaired Parent-Infant Attachment
Risk for Impaired Parent-Infant Attachment: State in which there is a risk for a disruption of a nurturing, protective, interactive process between a parent/primary caregiver and infant
Refer to
Related Factors
Related to interruption of attachment process secondary to
Parental illness
Infant illness
Related to barriers to attachment secondary to
Lack of privacy
Intensive care monitoring
Restricted visitors
Structured "visitation"
Situational (Personal, Environmental)
Related to unrealistic expectations
of child, of self
Related to unplanned pregnancy
Related to disappointment with infant
gender, appearance
Related to life event stressors associated with new baby and other responsibilities secondary to
Health issues
Relationship difficulties
Substance abuse
Economic difficulties
Mental illness
Related to lack of knowledge and/or available role model for parental role
Related to physical disabilities of parent
blindness, paralysis, deafness
Related to being emotionally unprepared due to premature delivery of infant
Related to difficulty delaying own gratification for the gratification of the infant
This new diagnosis describes a parent or caregiver at risk for attachment difficulties with his or her infant. Barriers to attachment can be the environment, knowledge, anxiety, and health of parent or infant. This diagnosis is appropriate as a risk or high-risk diagnosis. If the nurse diagnoses a problem in infant-parent attachment, the diagnosis
Risk for Impaired Parenting related to difficulties in parent-child attachment
would be more useful so that the nurse could focus on improving attachment and preventing destructive parenting patterns.
Risk for Impaired Parent-Infant Attachment related to husband not being the biologic father
The related factor is certainly a risk factor associated with attachment problems; however, this information is confidential and requires caution to protect its disclosure. If a family shares this information during an assessment or interaction, the nurse should record it exactly in quotes in the progress notes. The nurse can write the nursing diagnosis as
Risk for Impaired Parent-Infant Attachment related to possible rejection of infant by father
Generic Considerations
Attachment cannot be determined "by particular behaviors but from patterns of behavior" (Goulet et al., 1998, p. 1072). Parent-infant attachment is interactional. Attachment requires proximity, reciprocity, and commitment (Goulet et al., 1998).
"Children who are cared for in a relatively consistent and predictable way develop confidence in their ability to have a positive influence on their environment and are more likely to express their need for love and security" (Goulet et al., 1998, p. 1078).
The mother-child relationship begins before conception: planning, confirming, and accepting the pregnancy; feeling fetal movement, accepting the fetus as an individual; giving birth; hearing and seeing the baby; touching and holding the baby; and caring for the baby.
Participation of the father in caregiving activities has increased in the United States. Fathers who choose a traditional role (allowing the mother to be totally responsible for caretaking activities) must be assessed in their sociocultural context.
The attachment process is impeded when the parent(s) and child are separated because of the condition of the infant or a parent (Klaus & Kennell, 1976). Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) should be structured to support the process of the parent-infant relationship (Brown, Pearl & Carrasco, 1991). Thurman (1991) describes a family-centered NICU as a setting adhering to the following parameters:
It provides services based on family-identified and family-perceived needs.
Fit between the family system and the service delivery system is adaptive.
It fosters family empowerment while providing a stable ongoing support system.
It recognizes the dynamism and complexity of the family system.
Mercer and Ferketich (1990) studied parental attachment of 121 high-risk women, 61 partners of high-risk women, 182 low-risk women, and 117 partners of low-risk women. They found that the major predictor of parental attachment for all four groups was parental competence.
Parents of a premature infant or an infant with malformations may feel a sense of failure, leading to low self-esteem and subsequent difficulties with attachment (Klaus & Kennell, 1976).
Disorders of attachment may lead to nonorganic failure to thrive—failure of a child to grow without an organic cause.
In multiple births, attachment takes longer because a mother can attach optimally only to one infant at a time. Mothers may feel differently about each infant of a multiple birth based on characteristics, such as health status or birth weight (Reeder et al., 1997).
Focus Assessment Criteria
Refer to
Impaired Parenting
for assessment of attachment behaviors.
Refer to
Impared Parenting
The parent will demonstrate increased attachment behaviors, such as holding infant close, smiling and talking to infant, and seeking eye contact with infant.
Be supported in his or her need to be involved in infant's care.
Begin to verbalize positive feelings regarding infant.
General Interventions
Refer to
Impared Parenting
Assess Causative or Contributing Factors
Unwanted pregnancy
Prolonged or difficult labor and delivery
Postpartum pain or fatigue
Lack of positive support system (mother, spouse, friends)
Lack of positive role model (mother, relative, neighbor)
Inability to prepare emotionally for an unexpected delivery
Inadequate Coping Patterns (One or Both Parents)
Drug addict
Marital difficulties (separation, divorce, violence)
Change in lifestyle related to new role
Adolescent parent
Career change (eg, working woman to mother)
Illness in family
Premature, defective, ill
Multiple birth
Eliminate or Reduce Contributing Factors, if Possible

Assist her to identify someone who is a positive mother; encourage her to seek that person's aid.
Outline the teaching program available during hospitalization.
Determine who will assist her at home initially.
Identify community programs and reference material that can increase her learning about child care after discharge (see
Lack of Positive Support System
Identify parent's support system; assess its strengths and weaknesses.
Assess the need for counseling.
Encourage parents to express feelings about the experience and about the future.
Be an active listener to the parents.
Observe the parents interacting with the infant.
Assess for resources (financial, emotional) already available to the family.
Be aware of resources available both within the hospital and in the community.
Counsel the parents on assessed needs.
Refer to hospital or community services.
Barriers to Practicing Cultural Beliefs That May Affect the Family Unit During Hospitalization
Support mother-infant-family beliefs.
Integrate culture and traditions into routine care.
Identify community resources.
Elimination of Institutional Barriers That Inhibit Individualizing of Care
Sensitize staff to practicing family-centered care.
Use families to review practice and policies.
Encourage cultural sensitization of staff.
Provide Opportunities for the Process of Mutual Interaction
Promote Bonding in the Immediate Postdelivery Phase
Encourage mother to hold infant after birth (may need a short recovery period).
Provide skin-to-skin contact if desired; keep room warm (72°F to 76°F) or use a heat panel over the infant.
Provide mother with an opportunity to breast-feed immediately after delivery, if desired.
Delay administration of silver nitrate to allow for eye contact.
Give family as much time as they need together with minimum interruption from staff (the "sensitive period" lasts from 30 to 90 min).
Encourage father to hold infant.
Facilitate the Attachment Process During the Postpartum Phase
Check mother regularly for signs of fatigue, especially if she had anesthesia.
Offer flexible rooming-in to the mother; establish with her the care she will assume initially and support her requests for assistance.
Discuss future involvement of the father in the infant's care (if desired, plan opportunities for father to participate in his child's care during visits).
Provide Support to the Parents
Listen to the mother's replay of her labor and delivery experience.
Allow for verbalization of feelings.
Indicate acceptance of feelings.
Point out the infant's strengths and individual characteristics to the parents.
Demonstrate the infant's responses to the parents.
Have a system of follow-up after discharge, especially for families considered at risk (eg, phone call or a home visit by the community health nurse).
Be aware of resources and support groups available within the hospital and community; refer the family as needed.
Assess the Need to Support the Parents' Emerging Confidence in Child Care
Observe the parents interacting with the infant.
Support each parent's strengths.
Assist each parent in those areas in which he or she is uncomfortable (role modeling).
Have handouts and audiovisual aids available for parents to view at odd hours.
Assess for level of knowledge in growth and development; provide information as needed.
Help parents understand infant's cues and temperament.
for recommended printed material on parenting and child care.
When Immediate Separation of the Child from the Parents is Necessary Because of Prematurity or Illness, Provide for Bonding/Attachment Experiences, as Possible
Invite parents to see and touch infant as soon as possible.
Encourage parents to spend prolonged time with infant.
Support activities such as skin-to-skin holding, containment of infant with parental hands in the isolette, and basic caregiving activities.
If infant is transported to another facility and separated from mother:
Have staff make frequent calls to mother.
Encourage family to spend time in NICU; bring back verbal reports and pictures of infant.
Explore family and community resources to provide means of rejoining mother and infant as soon as possible.
For Adoptive Parents:
Counsel adoptive parents that many emotions are normal on first interaction with their children.
Counsel adoptive parents about the possibility of postadoption depression.
Encourage adoptive parents to seek parenting classes before receiving their infant.
Initiate Referrals, as Needed
Consult with community agencies for follow-up visits if indicated.
Refer parents to pertinent organizations (see
Research indicates that there is a "sensitive period" during the newborn's first minutes and hours of life during which the child is beautifully equipped to meet and interact with the parents. Close contact at this time and in the days to follow is most beneficial to the bonding process (Klaus & Kennell, 1976).
The period from birth to 3 days is important for the father-child relationship.
Seeing, touching, and caring for the infant promotes attachment (Klaus & Kennell, 1976).
When caring for families of high-risk newborns, nurses can foster attachment and reduce anxiety by letting parents know through frequent communication that they are welcome partners in their child's care.
In a longitudinal study of the interaction between 49 premature infants and their mothers, Zahr (1991) found that maternal rating of the infant's temperament and availability of support system were the most significant variables that correlated with a positive mother-infant interaction at 4 and 8 months postpartum.
Parents are reluctant to form attachments to a sick infant because of their fear of loss. This reluctance creates tremendous guilt.
Parents must be given the opportunity for grief work in the case of an ill or impaired infant before attachment can begin.
The use of birthing rooms enhances the bonding process because of the decrease in interruptions.
In a research study of 24 first-time adoptive mothers, Koepke, Anglin, Austin, and Delesalle (1991) found that adoptive mothers began developing affectional ties to their babies at much the same time and in as individual a way as birth mothers. Adoptive mothers may be as susceptible as birth mothers to periods of sadness and maternal depression.

Seattle Genetics To Present Clinical Data From Broad ADCETRIS® (Brentuximab Vedotin) Development Program And Novel Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC) SGN-CD19A At ASH 2013
Seattle Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:SGEN) today announced that multiple abstracts will be presented at the 55 th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana, December 7-10, 2013, highlighting the following:
- Clinical data for ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin) in CD30-positive lymphomas, including Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), mature T-cell lymphoma (MTCL), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and diffuse B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL);
- Interim phase 1 clinical data for SGN-CD19A, a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); and
- Final phase 1 data from two ADC candidates that utilize Seattle Genetics' proprietary technology being developed by Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIC: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), including an anti-CD22 ADC (pinatuzumab vedotin, RG7593) and an anti-CD79b ADC (polatuzumab vedotin, RG7596).
"The presentations at ASH demonstrate the breadth of our development program for ADCETRIS in CD30-positive malignancies, including frontline and relapsed patients and disease areas ranging from Hodgkin lymphoma to mature T-cell lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma," said Jonathan Drachman, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, Research and Development at Seattle Genetics. "Beyond ADCETRIS, we continue to make progress in advancing our robust ADC pipeline, including SGN-CD19A, which is currently being evaluated in ALL and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Finally, our collaborators continue to advance potential therapeutic options for patients and are making progress with ADCs utilizing our technology."
ADCETRIS is an ADC directed to CD30, which is known to be expressed in HL and systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL), as well as in many types of CTCL, B-cell lymphomas and MTCL. Across corporate and investigator-sponsored trials, ADCETRIS is being evaluated in more than 20 ongoing clinical trials, including four phase 3 studies. ADCETRIS is currently not approved for use in CTCL, B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, salvage HL or frontline treatment of MTCL and HL.

$10,000 reward offered in east Alabama rapes
ANNISTON, Ala. (AP) — Gov. Robert Bentley is offering a $10,000 reward in two rape cases in Calhoun and Talladega counties that investigators believe are connected.
Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson and Talladega County Sheriff Jimmy Kilgore said the rapes occurred almost a year apart, but they appear to be the act of one person. In both cases, the women said their attacker drove a white car and followed them home.
The Calhoun County case involved an 82-year-old woman who was attacked on July 15, 2012. The Talladega County case involved a 67-year-old woman who was attacked on July 28. Their homes are about 30 miles apart.
The governor's spokeswoman said he posted a $5,000 reward in 2012 for the Calhoun County attack and now he's added $5,000 for the Talladega County case.

The Process of Entrepreneurial ImprovementWritten by Jay Turo on Monday, January 16, 2012
The so famous and always timely Gandhian creed of "be the change you seek in the world" is never more relevant than when it comes to what entrepreneurs must do to get better in order to lead profitable enterprises and to fulfill on the mission and promise of their organizations.
Far more controllable and repeatable are the "manufactured" crises of a board meeting, of a strategic planning process, of a business coaching and mentoring dynamic.

Obamafunding Will You Get Your Share?Written by Dave Lavinsky on Tuesday, September 28, 2010
On Monday, President Obama signed the Small Business Jobs Bill. The bill provides $42 billion in loan incentives and tax cuts for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
Specifically, the Bill does a few important things:
1. The Bill increases the government guarantee on the SBA's 7(a) loans to 90% through December 31.
Some explanation for some of you who are new to raising funding:
The SBA is the United States Small Business Administration. The SBA doesn't lend money to entrepreneurs. Rather, local banks give out the loans, but the SBA guarantees a certain percentage of the loan amounts (so if the entrepreneur defaults on the loan, the SBA pays the bank 80% to 85% of the loan amount). With the new program, the guarantee is being raised to 90% which makes lending less risky to the banks.
The SBA's 7(a) Loan Program is its primary program "to help start-up and existing small businesses obtain financing when they might not be eligible for business loans through normal lending channels."
2. The Bill includes a new $30 billion lending fund that community banks can use to make loans to entrepreneurs and small businesses.
3. The Bill includes $12 billion in tax breaks for small businesses.
Overall, this is great news to entrepreneurs and small businesses who gain 1) more access to funding, 2) better funding terms, and 3) tax breaks.
This is also positive news for the US economy, as entrepreneurs and small business owners have historically created the majority of jobs and job growth in our country.
(Note: Want to tap into this new funding from the Small Business Jobs Bill? Growthink's Step by Step Guide to Raising Capital From Banks and SBA Lenders will teach you how to quickly and easily get the right SBA and/or bank loan to fund your business.)

Sponsors are one of the heavy horse community's most important assets. Many draft horse events would fold without sponsorship, for a lack of funding. It is essential that draft horse breeders and draft horse exhibitors recognize this.
Exhibitors, in particular, need to thank event sponsors. In the heat of competition and/or the flush of victory, exhibitors often forget to express words of thanks to a sponsor. Never overlook personal thanks. It is important to you and to your future success. You can deliver thanks in one of two ways.
Express thanks verbally. The effort taken, helps to ensure continued sponsor support. To ensure your thanks is remembered, mail the sponsor a note or card following your win. Don't be an exhibitor that grabs his prize money and runs. Far too often exhibitors, younger exhibitors in particular, forget to express their thanks. Correct exhibitor behaviour is rewarded. Continued sponsorship depends on it.
Ensure sponsors, minor and major, receive thanks. Invite sponsors to join class winners for a photograph of a class winner. Following the event, mail the photograph to the class sponsor, with your note of thanks. Sponsors should receive a gate pass. If possible, a parking pass and a parking space will be appreciated. It is important that sponsors know when and where their class is held. If management welcomes sponsors, if officials offer sponsors rightful recognition, and if exhibitors express sincere thanks, chances are, their sponsorship will continue.
Win, place or show, or stood last in class, it is important that exhibitors are sportsmen. Nothing will sour sponsors faster than an exhibitor who makes a scene. Sponsors often bring their family, friends and business associates to draft horse events. The foul language of an exhibitor will embarrass sponsors, as will those exhibitors who are poor sports. Sponsors are easily turned off. Officials, fellow exhibitors and ringside spectators, who could be potential buyers or clients, are also turned off. Sponsors support successful events. They will withdraw their sponsorship from events that experience problems.
Management should refuse entries received from exhibitors, whose language has been coloured and whose actions in the past have been unacceptable. Everyone needs to do their part, to ensure the sponsors and spectators at an event are never embarrassed. One rotten apple can destroy a barrel of good apples.
Major sponsors should be recognized in event advertisements. Their name should appear in the program and on the those signs displayed at the event. Draft horse shows, in particular, have an ace in hand. Unlike sponsors that support the arts, athletics, etc., they can be involved. When a performance class concludes, invite the sponsor to join a teamster on his victory drive. It is important that ringmasters ensure major sponsors have an impressive victory ride. Class winners should circle the show ring, at least once, before they pass down victory lane. It is important that sponsors, as well as exhibitors, receive recognition by the event's announcer.
In short, event sponsors, major and minor, should receive every consideration. Management, officials and exhibitors need to be courteous, friendly and take time to express their appreciation. At least this is how I see it.

Jetting Away
Jets of energetic particles race away from a supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy M84 in this composite image from several telescopes. The jets (in pink, as viewed by a radio telescope) ram into gas around the galaxy, heating the gas to millions of degrees (blue, as seen by an orbiting X-ray telescope). The jets span tens of thousands of light-years, and are replenished by outbursts of particles from a disk that surrounds the central black hole. This process may disrupt clouds of gas that would otherwise give birth to new stars. [NASA/CXC/MPE/A.Finoguenov et al.; NSF/NRAO/VLA/ESO/R.A.Laing et al; SDSS]

What are the pros and cons of the bioidentical hormone Biest?
- Q: What are the pros and cons of the bioidentical hormone Biest?
- A: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as several medical specialty groups, have determined that bioidentical hormones may be riskier than standard hormone therapy. Bioidentical hormones include estrone, estradiol, estriol, progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and cortisol. Some women may benefit from nonstandard doses and forms of hormones in bioidentical hormone preparations, but there is almost no scientific support for an advantage of these compounds over common commercially produced preparations. Biest is a combination of two estrogens: estriol and estradiol. According to anecdotal reports, this combination might allow for all of the protection of estriol, while potentially providing the cardiovascular and osteoporosis benefits of estradiol.

Where life, fun and style come together.
Here is a confession from a snowboard addict: I live for the winter and embrace the cold temperatures like a mother to a newborn—with love and affection. Yet, there are moments when that love is questioned, particularly in the early hours of the morning as my heavily booted feet navigate the icy patches of the driveway or the constant struggle to open my car door because it is frozen shut on a frequent basis. These doubts quickly fade. Let's be honest. There isn't much to do in the winter. Skiing/snowboarding is essentially a survival mechanism to get through the rough winter months. What better way is there to spend a cold bristling day than carving up the mountain? Perhaps there are other ways but nothing gets the blood bumping quite like a winter sport. There is a great feeling of accomplishment after a day long ride through the snowy peaks of a nearby mountain. Our muscles ache after the adventure but our spirits are rejuvenated.
A ski trip is a must for active types who enjoy the outdoors. Packing for warmth is essential to having an enjoyable experience whether you ski or snowboard. Here is our list of ski trip essentials you can't go without. Remember layers are your best friend! Catch you on the slopes next time.
I know how right you are about the socks now!! Love how fashionable your ski gear is! Especially the little cat hat! So cute.
Also I had a great time yesterday skiing with you! The cat hat is clearly the most fashionable item! :)
