This guideline updates a previous version: Finnish Medical Society Duodecim. Gynaecological ultrasound examination. In: EBM Guidelines. Evidence-Based Medicine [Internet]. Helsinki, Finland: Wiley Interscience. John Wiley & Sons; 2005 May 4 [Various].
Evidence-Based Medicine Guidelines collect, summarize, and update the core clinical knowledge essential in general practice. The guidelines also describe the scientific evidence underlying the given recommendations.
Women with gynecologic disorders for which ultrasound examination may be useful in diagnosis, evaluation, or follow-up
Gynecologic ultrasound examination, including:
Sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound for detecting gynecologic disorders
The evidence reviewed was collected from the Cochrane database of systematic reviews and the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE). In addition, the Cochrane Library and medical journals were searched specifically for original publications.
Not stated
Classification of the Quality of Evidence
GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) Working Group (modified by the EBM Guidelines Editorial Team).
Not applicable
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published cost analyses were not reviewed.
To perform gynaecological ultrasound (US) examinations a general practitioner must receive training under specialist guidance, acquire sufficient experience, and have proper equipment at his/her disposal.
Menstrual Cycle and Infertility
Endometrial Development
Follicle and Corpus Luteum
Monitoring of Infertility Treatment
Localisation of an Intrauterine Device (IUD)
Bleeding Disorders
Fertile Age
Postmenopausal Bleeding Disorders
In sonohysterography 5 to 15 mL of saline solution is injected into the uterine cavity with, for example, an insemination catheter. The saline solution gives a contrast in the uterine cavity which allows the best visualisation of any polyps in the uterine corpus and submucotic myomas protruding into the cavity. A histological sample should be taken before performing sonohysterography.
Salpingosonography may be used as a primary investigation for infertility instead of laparoscopic chromopertubation. Agitated saline is injected into the uterine cavity with an insemination catheter. The air bubbles in the saline act as a contrast, and the fallopian tubes can be visualised. The procedure is markedly reliable compared with chromopertubation. The flow through the tubes can be confirmed as well as tubular patency.
Gynaecological Tumours
Myoma and Adenomyosis
Endometrial Cancer
Ovarian Cysts
US Diagnosis of Ovarian Tumours
Pelvic Infection
Differential Diagnosis
Related Evidence
Refer to the original guideline document for related evidence, including Cochrane reviews and other evidence summaries.

Texas Employer Survey
To obtain information on Texas employers' major health care costs and concerns, and the benefits they offer their employees, the Comptroller's office surveyed 150 of the state's largest employers. Respondents identified obesity and its related medical conditions as important factors behind rising health care costs, lost productivity and increased absenteeism.
The survey sample included national and international companies in nearly every sector of the economy. These companies were asked to provide data based on their Texas workforces; when this information was unavailable, they were asked to provide data on their national workforces.
Thirty companies responded to the survey. All 30 offer health care benefits to some or all of their employees. The overwhelming majority of these companies, 27, reported increases in the cost of health care from 2002 to 2006. The highest reported increase in health care costs was 57 percent in 2006; the lowest increase was 5 percent; and the average increase was 26.7 percent.
The most prevalent medical conditions reported among the companies surveyed were coronary artery disease (16), cancer (13), diabetes (12), hypertension (8) and gastrointestinal disorders (7). Three large companies reported obesity as one of their top three most prevalent medical conditions.
The most costly medical conditions were almost identical to the most prevalent conditions: coronary artery disease (19), cancer (18), diabetes (10) and gastrointestinal disorders (5).
Many of these medical conditions are related to, or directly attributable to, obesity.
Twenty-one companies responded when asked to list the top causes of absenteeism in their work forces. These included coronary artery disease, cancer, injury and mental health issues; four companies listed obesity as one of their top three causes of absenteeism.
The survey asked specific questions on obesity and its effect on Texas companies. Twenty-five companies estimated the percentage of their workforce that is obese; these estimates ranged from 10 percent to 70 percent. Virtually all companies responding to the survey listed increased health care costs, lost productivity and increased absenteeism as effects of obesity, although none has attempted to estimate the cost of these effects.
Employers are taking steps to address the problem of obesity. Twenty-two of the 30 responding companies have health and wellness programs, some of which offer incentives to employees who participate. Reported participation rates ranged from 9 percent to 80 percent.
Finally, the Comptroller asked one question to determine if the health of the state's work force could influence a company's decision to expand in, relocate to or move out of Texas; and one question to determine how much importance the company would give to health care costs in relation to labor costs and the education and skill of the workforce when considering Texas for relocation.
Four large employers out of 30 responded that the health of a region's population and work force would factor into such a decision. Four large employers also responded that health care costs would weigh as heavily as labor costs and the education and skill level of the workforce in any decision to expand or move to a new region in Texas.
A copy of the survey instrument can be found in Appendix 2.

How Solid are your Privacy Rights?
The US-based
Electronic Privacy Information Centre
and the UK-based
Privacy International
have released a
comprehensive report on the state of privacy around the world
. How solid are your privacy rights?
If you live in the US or UK you are in the same class as those living in Malaysia, Russia and China. People living in Greece, Romania (go figure, given where Romania was a couple of decades ago), and Canada fair the best, though Canada's ranking slipped two levels from "Significant protections and safeguards" to "Some safeguards but weakened protections". Among the other findings:
The 2007 rankings indicate an overall worsening of privacy protection across the world, reflecting an increase in surveillance and a declining performance o privacy safeguards.
Concern over immigration and border control dominated the world agenda in 2007. Countries have moved swiftly to implement database, identity and fingerprinting systems, often without regard to the privacy implications for their own citizens
The 2007 rankings show an increasing trend amongst governments to archive data on the geographic, communications and financial records of all their citizens and residents. This trend leads to the conclusion that all citizens, regardless of legal status, are under suspicion.
The privacy trends have been fueled by the emergence of a profitable surveillance industry dominated by global IT companies and the creation of numerous international treaties that frequently operate outside judicial or democratic processes.
Despite political shifts in the US Congress, surveillance initiatives in the US continue to expand, affecting visitors and citizens alike.
Surveillance initiatives initiated by Brussels have caused a substantial decline in privacy across Europe, eroding protections even in those countries that have shown a traditionally high regard for privacy.
The privacy performance of older democracies in Europe is generally failing, while the performance of newer democracies is becoming generally stronger.
The lowest ranking countries in the survey continue to be Malaysia, Russia and China. The highest-ranking countries in 2007 are Greece, Romania and Canada.
The 2006 leader, Germany, slipped significantly in the 2007 rankings, dropping from 1st to 7th place behind Portugal and Slovenia.
In terms of statutory protections and privacy enforcement, the US is the worst ranking country in the democratic world. In terms of overall privacy protection the United States has performed very poorly, being out-ranked by both India and the Philippines and falling into the "black" category, denoting endemic surveillance.
The worst ranking EU country is the United Kingdom, which again fell into the "black" category along with Russia and Singapore. However for the first time Scotland has been given its own ranking score and performed significantly better than England & Wales.
Argentina scored higher than 18 of the 27 EU countries.
Australia ranks higher than Slovakia but lower than South Africa and New Zealand.
The study is well worth a look.
Do We Know What We're Doing?
One of the business risks that come up time and time again in discussions about eHealth is the supply of people knowledgeable about both IT and health care. It seems that there are lots of one or the other, but few who understand both dimensions of a very complex business. Yet there is little effort being applied to increasing the pool of talent needed to address the demand for skilled human resources.
There are a number of university and college programs across the country (
link here for a survey of HI programs across Canada published by the Waterloo Institute for Health Informatics Research
(WIHIR), but they graduate relatively few health IT practitioners... certainly not enough to fill the demand.
COACH, Canada's Health Informatics Association
, has recently published a list of core competencies needed by Health Informatics Professionals (unfortunately its only available to COACH members), but again, there is no strategy to provide educational opportunities for those who need it.
The Healthcare Information Management and Systems Society (HIMSS) has recently implemented a certification program (
Certified Professional in Healthcare Information and Management Systems (CPHIMS)
that is taking us in the right direction.
The University of Waterloo's
Health Informatics Bootcamp
program developed and delivered by WIHIR is highly recommended because it addresses a critical need to quickly educate health care and IT professionals on the intricacies of health informatics.
If we are to succeed in driving out eHealth at the pace promoted by politicians and their instruments such as Canada Health Infoway (and other national equivalents), more investment is needed in the educational programs necessary to develop a competent health informatics workforce.
Welcome Back!
After a hiatus of a couple of months, I'm finally back to eHealthRisk. I have two announcements for those who are interested:
Starting today I have taken on the position of President of the
Canadian Health Information Technology Trade Association (CHITTA)
, the health care division of the
Information Technology Association of Canada (ITAC)
. This will get me back into the game following my year long sabbatical studying all dimensions of eHealth risk.
The Waterloo Institute for Health Informatics Research has posted the next series of
eHealthRisk Workshops
. New this year is the
eHealth Information Security Workshop
whose inaugural run will be from March 26 to 28, 2008 at the University of Waterloo.
And my New Year's resolution... To religiously apply myself to this eHealthRisk Blog.
Canadian Attitudes to EHRs and Privacy
Canada Health Infoway
Health Canada
and the
Privacy Commissioner of Canada
commissioned and have published a comprehensive survey of Canadian attitudes towards Electronic Health Records and Privacy titled
Electronic Health Information and Privacy Survey: What Canadians Think - 2007
From the Press Release:
Almost nine in 10 Canadians (88 per cent) support the development of EHRs -- a five per cent increase since 2003. Other findings include:
31 per cent of respondents reported they had experience with an electronic health record during an interaction with the health care system. When asked to how the EHR system compared to the paper system in terms of overall effectiveness for the health care system, an overwhelming majority (89 per cent) said the electronic system was better.
87 per cent of Canadians believe electronic health records will make diagnosis quicker and more accurate, while 82 per cent believe they will reduce prescription errors and 84 per cent would like to be able to access their own medical records online.
Canadians want to ensure that privacy and security safeguards are in place to protect their health information. 77 per cent would like audit trails that document access to their health information. 74 per cent want strong penalties for unauthorized access. 66 per cent of Canadians want clear privacy policies to protect their health information. In the event of a security breach, 7 in 10 want to be informed and would like procedures in place to respond to such breaches.
Those who have had experience with an electronic health record showed an even stronger support for privacy and security safeguards.
A majority of Canadians (55 per cent) would like to be able to hide or mask sensitive information contained in their record.
While the poll shows strong support (84 per cent) for using anonymous information from electronic records for health research, this support drops dramatically if personal details are not removed from the record (50 per cent).
Laptop Thefts - Again!
Alberta's Privacy Commissioner, Frank Work, is the second Canadian privacy commissioner to demand the encryption of personal health information on laptop computers following the theft of four laptop computers from a Capital Health facility. From the
OIPC press release
"The investigation outlines the following steps that must be taken to protect health information stored on a mobile device in order to meet requirements of the HIA:
There must be policies and procedures that users are aware of and educated on that guide proper use of the device,
Reasonable steps must be taken to physically secure the device,
There must be a business need to store health information on the device,
The device must be password protected, and
Health information stored on the device must be protected by properly implemented encryption."

Healthcare IT, also known by the acronym HIT, is all about using information technology solutions such as hardware, networking, and software to help improve healthcare, save lives, reduce costs, and improve profit margins for healthcare organizations. Healthcare IT has always been important but recently it has been receiving more attention because the government and consumers (patients)
are demanding better service from care providers and healthcare IT is a good way to improve service.The healthcare system, especially in the USA, has some critical problems such as nurse and physician shortages, spiraling costs, poor consumer (patient) service, and lower revenues which lead to mergers
or acquisitions. Healthcare IT is in even worse shape because outdated infrastructure, legacy architectures, and monolithic applications prevent positive change from occurring. Healthcare IT can, if used properly, help reduce costs, improve care provider productivity (which can then alleviate some of the shortages), and significantly improve customer service to patients.

Etta James: 'I Can't Stand Beyoncé'
Legendary blues singer Etta James had fighting words for Beyoncé and President Obama at a concert in Seattle last week.
"I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whupped," said the 71-year-old in response to the "Single Ladies" hitmaker performing "At Last," the song she made famous, during Barack and Michelle Obama's first dance as President and First Lady last month.
"The great Beyoncé," James said sarcastically. "Like I said, she ain't mine. … I can't stand Beyoncé. She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day, gonna be singing my song that I've been singing forever."
James also had some unkind words for President Obama. "You guys know your president, right? You know the one with the big ears? … He ain't my president."
Beyoncé played Etta James in the movie Cadillac Records. The singers appeared together at the film's premiere in December. Listen to the audio below.

Chaz Bono Says "There Are Things I Miss Eating"
But as the weight continues to come off Bono's challenge to lose more becomes difficult.
"I'm just kind of at a little plateau right now," he explained. "The weight was falling off at first, and now it's just coming off slower. I'm still dropping, but I'm just not dropping like I was in the beginning, which was about 4 pounds a week."
While he admits there are those things "I miss eating" his ultimate goal is to "look and feel better."
Bono will revisit "The Doctors" on Wednesday to show off the weight he's lost so far but he'll be the first to admit it's an everyday challenge to keep it off.

Energy harvesting - wireless sensors integration: A systemic approach
The toolkit of technologies that energy harvesting and wireless sensors are making available, are enabling system integrators to come up with solutions in a variety of vertical markets. As performance of harvesters is being optimised and the number of deployments is increasing worldwide, integrators are starting to realise the new opportunities and are making sure they understand and take advantage of these new capabilities, whether it's in the industrial automation space, the built environment or even the automotive and aviation/aerospace sector.
The variety of companies representing each market segment at IDTechEx's events on the topic of energy harvesting and wireless sensor networks (WSN) -the latest instalment of which is taking place in Berlin on the 15 - 16 of May (www.IDTechEx.com/EH ) - proves the breadth and width of applications that these technologies are relevant to. System integrators and adopters at the event are exchanging ideas with energy harvesting technology companies, developers of wireless protocols as well as networks of wireless sensors and technologists developing low power electronics. These will assist seamless integration into new and existing applications.
Industrial automation
Wireless sensors are already widely deployed in the industrial automation space, with condition monitoring and asset tracking of high value industrial equipment being the main applications. Companies such as ABB, Emerson, Honeywell and Siemens are already actively supporting the WirelessHART technology that provides a wireless protocol for the full range of process measurement, control, and asset management applications in the specific environment of process plants.
Approximately 30 million HART devices have been installed and are already in service worldwide, making HART technology a widely used field communication protocol for intelligent process instrumentation.
Industrial environments are rich in vibration sources. Vibration harvesters tend to be an obvious solution and the Perpetuum vibration harvesters deployed already are a good example of designing the correct energy harvesters into the right type of working environment.

The beauty of recent developments in energy harvesting though is of course the fact that power management electronics are becoming more versatile in accepting energy harvested from a variety of sources. This allows for the use of other sources of energy depending on the ad-hoc specifics of each application/industrial plant. Sensor nodes placed in sunny locations could benefit from solar harvesting for instance, or nodes in areas where there exist temperature differentials, could utilise thermoelectric harvesters, depending on the amount of power required and the capabilities of each technology considered.
Building automation
EnOcean and the EnOcean Alliance have been the biggest success in the energy harvesting sector for building automation applications. Hundreds of thousands of wireless switches have been deployed in buildings, allowing for retro-fitting that saves on bills of materials and burying wires in walls. Together with many other applications utilising wireless sensor technology in a variety of buildings, safety improvements along with energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint have been implemented. Although characterised by a relatively higher initial cost when compared with conventional deployments, these offer significant savings and quick ROIs.
Another example of wireless sensor networks in the built environment is the Millennial Net Wireless Energy Management Solution, consisting of WSN combined with building automation protocols to provide remote monitoring and control of buildings' heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, lighting and other energy consuming devices. It allows building owners and operators to reduce energy consumption and manage peak demands.

These types of solutions lead to reduction of energy consumption and costs as well as increasing safety, with installations in a variety of environments, including commercial, municipal and industrial facilities as well as residential buildings. Deployments in the residential sector in a large scale will be realised at a later time as larger volumes at reduced costs would be expected in order to lead to mass adoption.
At this point, companies like LeGrand and Leviton are already getting involved and starting to consider making such solutions part of their overall approach towards the complete "wireless" wiring of new buildings, taking care of providing power, lighting and all other necessary connectivity.
Automotive - aerospace - apparel - body area networks...
The potential for integration doesn't stop in buildings and industrial plants. A lot of developments are taking place in the automotive and aerospace sector with car manufacturers such as Jaguar, BMW, Volvo or car system manufacturers like TRW, actively working in making more energy efficient vehicles. With harvesters and wireless sensors of many varying types integrated in them, from vibration harvesters in tyre pressure monitoring systems all the way to thermoelectric generators harvesting waste heat.
Even wearable applications are being developed, with apparel companies working hard in the development of new products, with several moving a step further into implantable devices. Some of these applications might be a bit further than others when it comes to becoming actual products but all developers, integrators and adopters are already gathering together and working towards making them a reality.
To find out more about it all, attend the IDTechEx Energy Harvesting & Storage and Wireless Sensor Networks & RTLS conference and exhibition in Berlin on the 15 - 16 of May .

One of the blogs I read on a regular basis is that of Scott Kelby over at scottkelby.com. Usually he has interesting things to say about taking better pictures. But occasionally he says something...misguided....but true. Yesterday's post was an example of one of these less than accurate articles. He was talking about standard frame sizes and why the 8x12 frame size should replace the more acceptable 8x10.
I agree. I agree wholeheartedly that the 8x10 frame size should disappear in favor of 8x12. Actually, I would suggest going further and join the rest of the world by going to a 210x297 mm size instead. All of my commercial prints in the last 5 years have been the 20x30cm standard size and frames (over here) are very easy to come by.
But Scott's reasoning is completely flawed. I assume he was just having a bad day. He said its because digital is replacing 35mm film for the standard type of camera people own today. But where this is screwed up is that 35mm film and most common digital sensors have roughly the same aspect ratio. So he should have said 8x12 should be the standard size since 35mm has replaced 8x10 glass plates as the most popular image capture format.

Pickerel (SS 177)
Pickerel commanded by Lieutenant Commander A. H. Alston, Jr., the first submarine to be lost in the Central Pacific area, set out from Pearl Harbor on 18 March 1943 and, after topping off with fuel at Midway on 22 March, began her seventh war patrol off the eastern coast of northern Honshu. She was never heard from after her departure from Midway.
She was ordered to remain in her area until sunset 1 May 1943 and then to return to Midway. Standing orders required her to transmit by radio prior to entering a circle of radius 500 miles from Midway, and this report was expected by 6 May. When it was not received, a message ordering an immediate reply was repeatedly sent. No answer was received, and plane search along her expected course revealed nothing. As a result, she was reported lost on 12 May 1943.
Antisubmarine attack data submitted by the Japanese at the end of the war list one attack which could conceivably have been on Pickerel. This attack occured on 3 April, 1943, off Shiranuka Lighthouse, on the northern tip of Honshu. This position is outside the area assigned to Pickerel, but no other submarine was there. Flying Fish was enroute to the area between Honshu and Hokkaido and arrived there on 6 April, but Pickerel might well have moved into the northern area for a few days until Flying Fish's arrival if she found hunting poor in her own area. Indeed, unless the Japanese attacked a submarine which was the product of their own imaginations, they must certainly have attacked Pickerel on 3 April, since no other boat of ours was near the area of the attack.
However, a special notation is made on the Japanese records to the effect that they are inaccurate for the month of April 1943. Thus there is every reason to speculate that, if Pickerel did survive the attack of 3 April, she may have been attacked later in her own area and the attack may not have been reported. We know that there were Japanese mine plants along the coast of Honshu, but a study of the track chart for Pickerel's sixth war patrol, conducted in the same area, shows that the Commanding Officer was accustomed to stay outside the 60 fathom curve. Mines are normally ineffective in water that deep.
The probability as to the cause of Pickerel's loss is that she was sunk by enemy depth charge attack. Operational casualties or mine explosions represent possibilities, but are not thought to be likely.
During the six patrols before her final one, Pickerel sank five ships totaling 16,100 tons, and damaged 10, totaling 9,100 tons. On her first patrol she did no damage to the enemy. Her second, conducted between Manila and Surabaya, resulted in the sinking of two freighters. Pickerel's third patrol was conducted along the Malay Barrier and again no successful attacks were made. In her fourth patrol, in the Philippines, six attacks were made, but none resulted in damage to the enemy. Pickerel's fifth patrol was a passage from Australia to Pearl Harbor for refit, with a short patrol in the Marianas enroute. She damaged a freighter on this run. On her sixth patrol this ship went to the Kuriles to patrol the Tokyo-Kiska traffic lanes. In sixteen attacks, she sank a freighter and two sampans, and did damage to another freighter and eight sampans.

The use of an "over 1000-nm near-infrared (NIR) in vivo fluorescence bioimaging" system based on lanthanide containing inorganic nanostructures emitting in the visible and NIR range under 980-nm excitation is proposed. It may overcome problems of currently used biomarkers including color fading, phototoxicity and scattering. Gd2O3:Er3+,Yb3+ nanoparticles and nanorods showing upconversion and NIR emission are synthesized and their cytotoxic behavior is investigated by incubation with B-cell hybridomas and macrophages. Surface modification with PEG-b-PAAc provides the necessary chemical durability reducing the release of toxic Gd3+ ions. NIR fluorescence microscopy is used to investigate the suitability of the nanostructures as NIR–NIR biomarkers. The in vitro uptake of bare and modified nanostructures by macrophages is investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy. In vivo investigations revealed nanostructures in liver, lung, kidneys and spleen a few hours after injection into mice, while most of the nanostructures have been removed from the body after 24 h.

I have received tons of complements on this mounting system. very actractive, slim design, folds tight to the wall, easy to use, very sturdy and adjustable.Though many people may opt for a cheaper and/or non-adjustable model, I reccommend you rethink that process. I have a 55" tv and this mount holds it well / ease. Also I can now pull it out from the wall, turn it 90 degrees and watch programs while in the kitchen multi-tasking. This also allows me to change the arrangement of my living room furniture with out having to relocate the TV (how convienient). Again very happy with this mount system and a well worth expense.

I've had several issues with this wall mount so far, and it's not even on the wall yet. The first problem I had was with the bracket that attaches to the TV. I don't really hold this against Sanus too much as I apparently have an odd TV. The problem, was that after using the spacers in order to lift the mount off of the back of the TV (had to be done so that I could plug in power and HDMI cables), the screws they provided were not long enough to reach the threads of my TV. I had to go to a special screw store in order to get screws long enough. The second problem came when it was time to drill holes in the wall. I live in the US, sadly that means we use the standard system (I know, I hate it too, but what can I do?). A 7/32" drill bit isn't hard to come by, but one that can drill 3.5" deep is. No store in my area sold 7/32" drill bits that would drill deep enough (the longest I found was 3"), so now I'm waiting on a drill bit I had to order online. Since I had to order it online, I went ahead and ordered a metric 5.5mm bit. It seems to me that whom ever designed this thing, did not take the US market into account for standard measurements and hardware requirements. I also think the directions are lacking. I had a Bell'O mount before this one, and the directions for that mount were phenomenal. What should have been a one day project max, has turned into a week long ordeal of buying additional hardware in order to mount this thing to my wall. I will not be recommending Sanus to my friends until their measurements take US standard measurements into account (or until we finally switch to metric; not likely, but I can hope).

VLF525-B1 Bolt Hole Measurement Critical
By BobA
from Torrance, CA
The vertical spacing measurement between the Top and Bottom bolt holes is critical, otherwise the bolts will not align with the center of the slots in the Wall Plate. Best to verify that the vertical spacing between the slots on the Wall Plate template match the spacing of the slots on the Wall Plate before drilling holes. There is very little margin for error.

This is a great mount..I am definitely a novice but it was straight forward to install and it provides a lot versatility when it comes to movement and angles. It's the perfect mount for my room do the large odd layout but it is exactly what I needed for me to use all the space in my family area.

This is a great mount for just about any tv EXCEPT the 55' VIZIO E series SMART LED TV. I bought this mount for the vizio tv and the sanus mount did not have any mounting holes to fit the vizio tv. So I switched out my 55" samsung to use on this mount.

We used it to mount our 55-inch flat-screen television in a corner of our family room. Very pleased with results. It was our first buy for our "new" house!
Exactly what it says!
By Dakota1
from Whitman, MA
They advertise "We'll Make It Stress-Free" and they did! All the parts lined up, the screws really fit and if you have the basic tools...they supply a magnetic tool to find the studs. My son, working alone, had everything in place in less than an hour. Too bad lifting that 60" plasma TV wasn't that easy...but once we got it to the necessary height, it slid right into place. Thank you, Sanus...you made it just as "stress-free" as you said!
Full Motion Or Bust
By JKingpin
from Undisclosed
My living room setup necessitates multiple viewing angles, and finding a full motion mount for the Sony 70' R520A was a challenge. This was one of the few mounts that would allow me to mount the tv into the corner and get a good angle from all over. The wire management I'm still playing around with, but the range of motion is unparalleled while still being sturdy. I recommend that you tighten those pivot screws once you've nailed down how much motion you're going to be needing. I ended up having a professional mount it simply due to my custom wiring needs, but felt very comfortable mounting this myself in an area where the wires were already available.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Governor Bredesen wants officials to find a way to independently verify that state veterans' homes are functioning properly to help avoid future closures.
Bredesen, a Democrat, last month suspended admissions to the veterans home in Murfreesboro for the third time in 16 months. State inspectors had found several incidents of violence between residents.
Bredesen told state Veterans Affairs Commissioner John Keys in budget hearings this week that he would consider spending up to $200,000 annually to hire outside inspectors to regularly review the homes' performance.
Bredesen says the inspectors could give officials an early warning about any problems.
The Tennessee State Veterans Homes Board operates all 140-bed facilities, located in Murfreesboro, Humboldt and Knoxville. Each operates at an average capacity of more than 100 residents.

Those of us who came of age during the 1960s spy craze in movies and television will always have fond memories of one of the better TV shows of that era: I Spy. It was the first television series to feature an integrated cast of leading players. Bill Cosby played the Black agent. Robert Culp, who passed away suddenly today at the age of 79, played the White agent. One of the best parts of the show were the exciting opening credits featuring terrific theme music:
For Generation X'ers, Culp will be remembered as playing the FBI agent on the hit 1980s series, The Greatest American Hero (the show's theme song became a hit single).4:56 pm on March 24, 2010 Email David Kramer

|Theater Release:
|Video Release:
|20 Mar 2012
|MPAA Rating:
|See Canadian Ratings
|How We Determine Our Grades
This movie should be rated NC17 at the very least. There is an explicit rape scene, which is hard to recover from, two scenes with sex and nudity, implied oral sex, and a revenge torture scene. No one under 18 should be allowed to see this film.
This movie should be rated MB for its male-bashing, sexist content.
The anal rape scene of the young girl and subsequent torture scenes were very explicit and should not be viewed by teens under age 18 years. The rating for this movie is very inappropriate at the "R" level. I will no longer use or trust the MPAA rating system.
I will now use this site and never trust the MPAA again because of this film either. My wife and I walked out of the theater during the rape scene. An R rating was not sufficient in describing the kind of content portrayed in the film.

13 Responses to "episode 22 – a little over five years"
That looks extraordinary. 35 years of surveillance video? What a fascinating archive that must be. A very nice piece.
Killer episode. Glad to see it after you told me about it. Very interesting stuff. Wouldn't it be cool to make an art project out of his old surveillance tapes!?
Outstanding! I wanted to see more. Very well done David. The episodes are getting better and better!
Another fantastic episode- the fact that he has 35 years worth of old surveillance tapes is incredible- what is far more incredible is the fact that he watches them (to see his dead girlfriend no less). Powerful stuff.
i felt very fortunate that Richard took the time to talk to us. I didn't actually get the sense that he routinely watched the tapes. when asked, it didn't seem to ever occur to him to do anything with them. I think it is only recently that he decided that he wanted to see his girlfriend again.
For you and I, his collection of tapes going back 35 years sounds like a wonder of buried treasure. for Richard, I suspect they are something altogether different. I don't believe that the tapes actually held much sentimental value for him until the death of his girlfriend. they were merely the product of something very practical.
What strikes me was how little change there seemed to be between the store now and the store 35 years ago, except for the fact that most of the people in the videos, except for Richard, are now dead. In fact without the people in the video, you probably would not even be able to tell that you are looking at video from 35 years ago and not the live feed and this is what Richard sees everyday. that alone I find to be quite poignant.
the whole thing is poignant, David. You treat this with great dignity and respect. The tone is just right. Congrats on another super episode.
thanks Roberta!
Oh, David, that's so sad. But the shop endures and the tapes endure and he endures. In the end it will only be the tapes–if someone hangs on to them. Wow!
Hey David. This piece did turn out great. Thanks again. It was a great experience going out on the shoot with you.
thank you, John!
John is an archivist at Temple University's Urban Archives. It was really the perfect episode for him to be a part of. his presence there really helped shape this episode.
I think this is my favorite yet.
David, in 1974 I went to Penn on the Frankford El. My freshman year, I commuted from Lawndale. I took the N bus from Rising Sun and Martins Mill Rd to Bridge and Pratt, then off at 34th St. The El was in an advanced state of disintegration and the trip took up to 2 hours or more. The weakened trestles forced the train to crawl at less than 10 MPH between some stations. Of course, I had taken the El a thousand times or more going downtown, to the Tower Theater and then the last time I regularly took it, before I started to drive on a regular basis and moved into a dorm at Penn. I had always observed the neighborhoods, the buildings and when the rebuilding/completion of I-95 took the last leg of the El into its new route and removed many familiar landmarks, I often thought about taking pictures. So much of the Industrial city that I knew is gone. I am glad you have the heart to go out and record a living history of the great people who helped build and then endured the decline of Philadelphia.
what kinda camera you use bro ?

HOUSTON Burglar and hold-up alarms happen hundreds of times a day in the Houston area, but the KHOU 11 News I-Team has found an overwhelming number of those calls are false.
Worse, the problem is costing taxpayers millions each year, and threatening your safety.
City records show police responded to 48 false alarms at a Foodarama in 2011.
I was under stress a lot of times because this was once again, once again, they re coming in, admitted Ricardo Selva, Manager of the Foodarama store on Antoine. Selva was talking about the steady stream of police officers that came through his doors.
Some days two, or three, times a day, he recalled. Yeah, that was, basically, that was a lot.
A lot, but it s a problem that s much larger than Foodarama, which had the most bogus calls in the city in 2011 according to police.
False alarms are sounding all over Houston every day of the year.
Officers should be freed up to run calls that are real, said Sgt. Anthony Davis, who in charge of the Houston Police Department s Alarm Enforcement Detail.
According to HPD figures, in 2011 officers responded to more than 71,000 false burglar and hold-up alarms.
That represented 97 percent of all alarm calls in the city last year.
It comes at a price. HPD said, on average, two police officers respond to each call. It typically takes about 22 minutes to handle each of those 71,000 false alarms. That s the equivalent of taking five officers off the street every minute of every day for an entire year.
It does take away from officers time they could be using in real-life calls, said Sgt. Davis.
It also costs taxpayers. Davis estimated false alarms cost the department about $9.3 million in manpower.
The city recouped more than $2 million last year through fines paid by alarm owners with repeated false calls.
Despite the penalties, the problem continues. Already this year, police responded to 25 false alarms at Sunrise Grocery on Sherwood Forest Street. That s more than any other home or business so far this year, according to police records.
A worker inside told the KHOU 11 News I-Team that he didn t know anything about the calls, and said he wasn t sure when his manager would be at the store.
Back at Foodarama, Selva blamed his problems on a pharmacy that rented space in his store. He said the company never opened its doors, but did install an alarm system.
A spokesman for Foodarama said the grocer tried, but was unable to get the pharmacy s alarm disconnected after it learned of the problem.
There was a motion alarm in there, explained Selva. But nobody goes in there to do anything. The alarm kept going off
Debi Ulmer, President of the Houston Gulf Coast Alarm Association blames much of Houston s problems on users not understanding how to operate alarms.
It s 10 percent of the alarm owners that are causing 90 percent of the problems, explained Ulmer.
But, police say, they are problems we all pay for.
These calls have to be responded to at some point, said Sgt. Davis.
HPD figures the number of false alarms has dropped about 20 percent in the last four years. However, the percentage of alarms that are bogus has remained 96 percent or higher.

Facebook IPO: God Help Us All
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Welcome to the castle: The Facebook (FB) IPO has now embodied all the worst that Wall Street represents and the massive irony is that it has done it with the vanguard application of the "one percenters" and "Occupy Wall Street" crowd -- the social network app that supported the Arab Spring and Chinese dissidents.
But even more, we are now all tied to this public offering, and perhaps the confidence in our recovery and the health of our economy might actually stand in the balance of it's success. That's how much hype the Facebook deal has been endowed with, and how much our system of capital allotment has invested in this one company. If this deal fails, I predict we're in for a far greater fall this summer in our markets.
Call me a Luddite, but even 900-million strong get-togethers and "blogging about Bieber" doesn't inspire my instincts in the promise of capitalism. Today, the Facebook IPO was given a pre-market valuation of $104 billion -- only slightly more than Total (TOT) and a bit less than BP (BP).What do I want in a rapidly growing world? A network of unpaid subscribers without a monetization plan, or a company that provides the energy for all human progress? Still, the avalanche of media attention has made this morning's IPO the most important financial story of the year thus far. While most of the analysts and pundits have been relatively cautious about the opportunity for retail investors, it hasn't stopped the explosion of interest. Every greenshoe -- including from Imelda Marcos's closet -- has been tapped to increase the float from sellers and deliver the maximum cash to angel investors and 20-something founders.
