IAED Official Statements
James Featherstone, the Interim Fire Chief of the Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD), was notified today the LAFD was in violation of the "safe practices" provision of the Department's license to use the MPDS protocols. The notification further states that unless the LAFD's use of the MPDS protocols improves to meet defined MPDS protocol compliance standards within sixty (60) days, the Department's license to use the MPDS protocols will be revoked.
On Tuesday, March 4, 2014, Dr. Clawson, Brett Patterson, and Fred Hurtado will entertain questions from the press and other interested parties after the fire commission meeting.
The Academy has received a number of inquiries about recent articles that have appeared in the Los Angeles Times regarding the MPDS. Dr. Marc Eckstein had initially agreed to meet with Academy representatives to discuss the issues that he had raised publicly. However, Dr. Clawson was notified yesterday that after a discussion with the Fire Chief there would be no meeting between Dr. Eckstein, LAFD, and Academy representatives.
Academy representatives will travel to Los Angeles in early March to meet with City officials and local media representatives to correct particular factual misrepresentations that have been made publicly about the medical appropriateness and efficacy of the MPDS.
The link of the CBS local radio station interview of Dr. Eckstein is below:
The recent article in the Los Angeles Times regarding a study finding problems with LAFD dispatchers and significantly delayed times to start CPR was forwarded to the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED) by a large number of its members. This article questioned the validity of the IAED's widely used Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS), specifically the vital process of starting CPR quickly when confronted with the sudden collapse of an adult. The article cites an internal study that "… raised concerns about time-consuming scripted questions dispatchers are required to ask…" and that "LAFD call handlers must work through a series of pre-written questions and responses before they can give CPR instructions…" In fact, the MPDS requires only minimal questioning for such cases. The delays associated with the audio example cited in the report are clearly related to calltaker non-compliance to the protocol, not the protocol itself. Specifically, a patient re
June 14, 2010
Since the North American release of the MPDS version 12.1 in March of 2010, the Academy has received some inquiries regarding Protocol 28 - Stroke (CVA), and the required Stroke Diagnostic Tool. The following represents the Academy's official position on the use and rationale of this evolving protocol:
Since the actual treatment of ischemic stroke became a possibility and then a more viable reality in many EMS systems, the IAED has worked with several stroke centers, experts, and early on, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to concurrently evolve the Dispatch Life Support (DLS) treatment of stroke patients. A joint position statement was crafted by the Academy with the lead stroke researcher at NIH, Dr. John Marler. That document is included in the Principles of EMD textboo

For the Medical Council of Standards
Practically as soon as the new Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) were released by the American Heart Association (AHA) on October 18, 2010, the telephone and e-mail inquiries to the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED) began. It is truly exciting to see so much enthusiasm about the evolving clinical standards in our profession! This update is designed to keep you informed regarding the process of the Medical Priority Dispatch System™ (MPDS) protocol evolution with regard to current international standards of patient resuscitation.
First, it is very important to remind MPDS users of the Academy's ongoing commitment to maintaining the Dispatch Life Support (DLS) s

Hey folks,
New poster here, I hope I'm putting this thread in the right place, so my apologies if not. I have an LG Optimus that I've been using an mp3 as a ringtone for my email/txt etc for awhile now, and one day, it just stopped using the custom mp3 and went back to the system default ringtone. It won't change no matter what I do. I've set the ringtone from within the email/messaging app, the system settings sound section, etc. It'll say it changes, then it just continues to play the default one. Even tried installing ringdroid and it still won't set a new ringtone. Strikes me as some sort of caching or setting issue, but I'm not sure if mobile devices work that way with settings.
Any help greatly appreciated.

All of the above

he's dumb as a boot but i sure would savor his taint
I have the feeling that he's gay
suprised there aren't screen caps from this show- probably the only thing about it worth viewing.
Some screencaps here. I don't think he's dumb like people say he is. He graduated college somehow lol. He seems more silly than anything. He didn't show any of that when he cried when he talked about his family being there to see him win his first Olympic gold medal so he seems like a nice guy to me.
I'm sure the editing helps sell the "dumb jock" persona to the audience. Never underestimate the power of film editing.
It doesn't take much editing to make him look dumb.
So- what's his excuse during interviews???? I've known swimmers in the past- biggest group of party/misogynist boys on the planet!
That video is absolutely priceless. It's pretty bad when you get laughed at by Fox News...
I saw a few of his interviews and I have no explanation for him lol. He seems high all the time but he can't be because he's an athletic beast. I don't know but I like him so far from seeing his show haha.
Ok, thinking......
Most straight guys like dumb blond big bobbed bimbos.
Even if he's not so smart, who cares, he's hot.
That's my opinion.
I like his new show on E! I think he's sexy.
I'd definitely do him in every position possible. (Think Sean Cody style)
Nothing,........ don't care for the schmoe
You cant change the way the wind blow's, but you can change the angle of your sail to take you somewhere else!!
All of the above and then some.
he could fuck me anytime. what a hottie
he's not usually my type but there is something sexy about him---I think it's that he's so fucking stupid and cocky---which can be fun for one night.
This thread really needs some pics/gifs/videos.
From watching him since the 2004 Olympics- I've NEVER gotten the vibe he might be gay- so of the choices- knowing how stupid he is- the answer has to be- dive off a cliff with no water...
He can do me
He's dumb as a brick but he can have a seat on my face.
Join the NoH8 campaign and then forget to take the duct tape off his mouth once the photo shoot is done.
Congrats Rihanna on your 13th number 1
Wow. That's a great picture! But... what does it have to do with Ryan Lochte?
Oh that's Harley from SeanCody.com circa 2007-2009.
I thought he looks exactly like Ryan guess it was just me
Congrats Rihanna on your 13th number 1
I did just some fake of him with micheal phelps on my blog look for him byehttp://fakemaleporn.blogspot.it/
Damn. I'd never have guessed that he's part Cuban.

New King James Version (NKJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now it happened, when Jeremiah had stopped speaking to all the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, all these words, | 1 When Jeremiah finished telling the people all the words of the LORD their God--everything the LORD had sent him to tell them-- |
2 that Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, "You speak falsely! The Lord our God has not sent you to say, 'Do not go to Egypt to dwell there.' | 2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, "You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, 'You must not go to Egypt to settle there.' |
3 But Baruch the son of Neriah has set you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death or carry us away captive to Babylon." | 3 But Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to hand us over to the Babylonians, so they may kill us or carry us into exile to Babylon." |
4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, all the captains of the forces, and all the people would not obey the voice of the Lord, to remain in the land of Judah. | 4 So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers and all the people disobeyed the LORD's command to stay in the land of Judah. |
5 But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah who had returned to dwell in the land of Judah, from all nations where they had been driven-- | 5 Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army officers led away all the remnant of Judah who had come back to live in the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been scattered. |
6 men, women, children, the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch the son of Neriah. | 6 They also led away all the men, women and children and the king's daughters whom Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah. |
7 So they went to the land of Egypt, for they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes. | 7 So they entered Egypt in disobedience to the LORD and went as far as Tahpanhes. |
8 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, | 8 In Tahpanhes the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: |
9 "Take large stones in your hand, and hide them in the sight of the men of Judah, in the clay in the brick courtyard which is at the entrance to Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes; | 9 "While the Jews are watching, take some large stones with you and bury them in clay in the brick pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh's palace in Tahpanhes. |
10 and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: "Behold, I will send and bring Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden. And he will spread his royal pavilion over them. | 10 Then say to them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones I have buried here; he will spread his royal canopy above them. |
11 When he comes, he shall strike the land of Egypt and deliver to death those appointed for death, and to captivity those appointed for captivity, and to the sword those appointed for the sword. | 11 He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and the sword to those destined for the sword. |
12 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them and carry them away captive. And he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment, and he shall go out from there in peace. | 12 He will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt; he will burn their temples and take their gods captive. As a shepherd wraps his garment around him, so will he wrap Egypt around himself and depart from there unscathed. |
13 He shall also break the sacred pillars of Beth Shemesh that are in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians he shall burn with fire." ' " | 13 There in the temple of the sun in Egypt he will demolish the sacred pillars and will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.' " |

Does this take money away from local retailers? I suppose, but I never buy them in the store anymore. They're cheaper online. No, I'm not buying cheap Chinese knockoffs with names like Durecall, or Evareddy. The real things. (You know, Roy-o-Vacs.) They cost more at the store because people who buy them at retail outlets are in need of fresh ones now, and pay the price. People who buy them online and wait for delivery are thinking ahead.
Well, the laptop's down to 12 percent, so I'd better wrap it up. Just wanted to note that if the power goes out in two years and my flashlights are dead, it's the Legislature's fault, because I stopped ordering to backstop emergencies.
However, tomorrow I will have two fresh bruises on my shin from walking into a flowerpot I forgot about by the back steps. That is not entirely the Legislature's fault, even though they tabled the Shin Protection Act, which would have required luminescent paint around the rim of any pot likely to cause injury if impacted in the dark.
We'll call that one even.

Family patriarch Nordy Rockler opened the doors of his first store in 1954 to supply his fellow craftsmen with knowledge, friendly advice, and a large selection of tools for at-home woodworking projects. Now, the chain of retail outlets brims with more than 20,000 tools and specialized woodworking equipment. Next to a steely rainbow of hinges, casters, and screws, a supply of lumber and exotic hardwoods provides planks for building tree houses or just leaving around as a warning to uncooperative trees. The tenor buzz of power tools operated by newly knowledgeable guests drifts from educational sessions on operating equipment and woodworking.

In 2013, Bon Appetit named The Walrus and the Carpenter one of 2013's 20 most important restaurants in America. Here are some reasons the seafood eatery has garnered so many accolades:
The name pays homage to Through the Looking-Glass. In the book's famous poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter," the titular characters befriend a group of oysters, only to devour them rabidly.
The menu changes daily. Found soaking in icy baskets throughout the dining room, new oysters grace the menu every day in raw and cooked forms. The remaining menu encompasses everything from locally harvested mussels to duck and pork rillettes.
After retiring as a fourth-generation Seattle firefighter, it was only natural that Bill Davis decided his next career path would involve his ever-present tool belt.

He provides estimates and answers to all types of carpentry, remodeling, and installation projects, putting in new cabinets with the same deft skill he uses to build a brick pathway or clean gutters of squirrels' safety deposit boxes. Above all, his company puts good work and integrity first, in hopes of becoming a household name for each of his clients.

Bring Laron Profit Home and Win the NBA Championship
We, as loyal and dedicated Washington Wizards fans, are concerned that either (a) the Wizards team will fall back into the lottery, or; (b) A huge blizzard will strike the East Coast bringing 2 feet of snow to the mid-Atlantic. We can do something about item a, above. We DEMAND that Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld demonstrate his exceptional basketball knowledge and expertise by signing Laron \"God\" Profit to an NBA \"MAX\" contract so that he may lead us to multiple NBA championships. We demand action on this matter. It\'s bad enough that we have ugly uniforms, a bad dance squad, an ugly blue mascot, \"Dress your Dog\" concessions, Susan O\'Malley promotions like \"Singles Nite\", and Buckhantz screaming \"dagger\" or \"backbreaker\" during TV broadcasts. Don\'t let us also have to endure a mediocre team Ernie. We\'re counting on you. In Ernie and Laron we trust!

Amie Thompson
Great Falls Tribune
Lethal Legacy (series)
21-23 June 2009
Amie Thompson of Montana's Great Falls Tribune told how a family in Turner, Mont., is coping with a deadly genetic disease so rare that only a handful of families worldwide are known to be affected by it. The disease, pallidopontonigral degeneration or PPND, strikes in mid-life with symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. "Though the story focused on a human drama, it gave readers a needed look at the tragedy of genetic diseases and how they might be avoided," said Guy Gugliotta, a freelance science writer. Through the family's story, Shute said, "readers learn how difficult it is to research genetic disorders, and how essential it is to have the cooperation on families like these."

Gary Wolf, a contributing editor for Wired, took readers into the arcane field of taxonomy to follow an evolutionary biologist who is convinced that he can build a simple, universal identification system for all animals. If barcodes work for cans of soup on the grocer's shelf, he asked, why not for bugs? "In this fresh and engaging tale, Gary Wolf doggedly pursues the trail of a scientist in pursuit of a theory," said Mary Knudson, a

15 Unlikely Lullabies: The TV Theme Song Edition
I recently wrote a post called 10 Unlikely Lullabies. Some of the suggestions I received were TV theme songs. I got to thinking that back when I was a kid, many of the shows I loved had really sweet introductions. Of course I didn't appreciate that fact back then, but now I can't tell you how many times I find myself rocking my babies and having Tootie, Arnold, and Ricky flashbacks. A few of my readers shared their favorites as well.
Do you find yourself singing TV theme show songs to your baby?

The Museé du Quai Branly in Paris Boasts a Lush 650-foot Green Wall by Patrick Blanc
Posted By Ana Lisa On October 3, 2012 @ 5:18 pm In Air quality,Architecture,Art,Botanical,carousel showcase,Daylighting,energy efficiency,gallery,Green renovation,Urban farming,Vertical Garden | No Comments
Featuring a 40-foot high and 650-foot long stunning green wall, The Museé du Quai Branly is definetely worth a visit if you are in Paris. Designed and planted by Gilles Clément and Patrick Blanc [6], it is one of Blanc´s most famous vertical gardens and as a passionate for biodiversity, he designed the living tapestry [7] to echo the cultural diversity of worldwide art inside the museum. To enter the museum, visitors have to go through swirling paths, secret gardens, trees and high grasses.
The museum´s building was masterminded by French architect Jean Nouvel [8] and it is composed by many volumes featuring side parasols for light control into the the interiors. A green oasis [9] in the city, the museum offers relaxing green spaces within its gardens used by tourists and locals for reading, improvised pic nics or meeting friends. A green-roofed concrete shelter is frequently used for kids´workshops and provides a good roof during bad weather days.
Exhibited under the towers´big presence, the immaculately curated ethnographic collection of indigenous art and artifecats inside comes from from Africa, Asia, Oceania and the to be showned to Paris lucky visitors.

I used to play multiplayer games all of the time. Four-player split-screen sessions of Goldeneye 007 and Mario Kart, co-op sessions of Star Wars: Battlefront, etc, etc. This continued onto the PC around 2003 with the release of the original Call of Duty, which I probably dropped hundreds of hours into.
That was back when there were no customization classes and XP to rank up; it was that good of a game all on its own. The Call of Duty craze continued onto the 360 with Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2. I had a group of friends I played with on more-or-less a nightly basis for months, until finally the appeal started to wear off.
Part of the reason was due to the fact that real life started happening, and people became a lot busier with other things and our group play time decreased a lot. The more influential reason however, was because I started to see what constant multiplayer grinding in a handful of games was doing to my backlog. Too many great games to count were coming and going, and I came to the realization that I wasn't playing any of them. There finally came a point where I was sick of always being behind and never being able to follow along conversations, because of the fact that I hadn't played the recent, most popular games. It was mainly for that reason that I switched to playing games for the singleplayer experience, which allowed me to enjoy the story and characters instead of listening to the screeches of 13 year-olds.
When I first saw Titanfall at E3 I was really skeptical of it. Sure it looked great, but Respawn also put an emphasis on the fact that the game was going to be multiplayer focused and not really have much of a singleplayer campaign. I was fairly convinced that despite all of the hype for it, I was going to pass in order to focus on games with an actual story. But then the beta came around, and almost instantaneously I bought into what Titanfall was selling. It was fast-paced, it was hectic, and there was rarely a dull moment to be had. Over the course of the weekend I went from a decision that I wasn't going to get the game to I absolutely was going to get the game.
To no surprise, the full game has been even better than the demo. That fast-paced, hectic gameplay wasn't just some trickery of the demo, but is even better than before. The most rewarding feeling of the game is the freedom of movement you have as a pilot, parkouring from surface to surface, and wall-running in between. If you're actually playing the game in the spirit in which it was made, there should be very few moments where you find yourself standing still for extended periods of time. That constant movement to work your way to an objective, or even just find enemies, leaves very little time to ever be bored with the game.
On the flip side of the pilots are the hulking titans. The inclusion of the titans into the fray of things was really well handled. Unlike in other multiplayer games, where a player earning killstreaks could ultimately mean game over for the other team, titans are not overpowered to the point where pilots have no chance. Instead the two are really well balanced, leading to certain circumstances where it may be better to be on foot as a pilot, and vice versa. It also makes no difference how good/bad at the game you are; every player will ultimately get a titan drop, with the quickness in which you get it depending on how many kills you get.
I still get excited every time it's time to call in my titan, and looking towards the sky to watch it drop into battle. Thumping around in it, while just shredding apart pilots, grunts, and spectres is just such a satisfying feeling. At the same time there is always the thought in the back of your head to keep your distance from groups of buildings, because enemy pilots could jump on to rodeo your titan from anywhere. The fact that you carry this sense of caution, even while being in a massive, death-machine mech, really helps to keep you on your toes throughout every match you play.
The addition of the AI grunts and spectres was actually a pretty brilliant decision as well. It really helps the battlefield to feel "full" and gives the player some easy targets. There was a ton of concern when Respawn first announced that the matches would only be 6v6 as to whether that would be too few players. That has proven to be a weightless concern, as the 6v6 feels perfectly fine during the game. Honestly if the matches were any bigger it would probably get too out of control, considering the size of the maps feels more designed for a smaller play count.
How dull Titanfall makes other multiplayer games seem was put on display recently. I spent the past weekend watching the Call of Duty World Championship streams, which put me in the mood to hop in to play some online multiplayer. Now I've never considered CoD's multiplayer to be either fast or slow in particular, but after spending time with Titanfall, it seems incredibly dull and boring. Just trying to sprint forward seems to be weighted down and just a chore to accomplish. I told myself once I realized how great Titanfall was that I'd never go back to Call of Duty because of it, and now I know that's a reality. There's just no going back after you've experienced how fast-paced Titanfall is.
Titanfall is something that the multiplayer scene has really needed for quite some time. A lot of games have been getting caught in the common mold that allows a multiplayer to pass as 'ok' rather than push to be something a little more special. Even just the pacing alone makes Titanfall much more notable than its fellow games around it. Here's hoping that more developers take note of this success and strive to break the mold, like Titanfall and even The Last of Us, and not just like another Call of Duty.

I got several of these in my Hot Naked Guys That Look Like Celebs thread over in the hot men gay porn section. But here's one I think looks pretty close.
Maybe he did do porn when he was younger. Who knows.

I'm wondering... do celebs look-a-like like there look-alike beyond the belt?
love men, adore men, never know it could be soo gooood
ok im surprised no one mentioned Craid David and Brian Pumper.
Great idea for a thread!
Andrew Garfield= Andrew Boleyn

eddie cahil
alex james
Rider Strong(boy meets world) looks like Seth Gamble
I used to be so in love with Rider Strong when I was in middle school!! I'm going to have to look up his porn star look alike now!!
Your little page is great. I always noticed (how couldn't you) that major resemblance between Ricky Martin & Ricky M from NextDoor sites. Hence his name I guess, LOL.
I see a resemblance between Van Hansis (of ATWT) & Richie Fine. Anyone else.
In the early 90's, when Kristen Bjorn was doing movies in Eastern Europe, in his VAMPIRE OF BUDAPEST flick, there is an actor named Tomas Kruc. He's also in Bjorn's HUNGARY FOR MEN and another flick titled RED ALERT, not the Falcon film. but an Eastern European of the same name. He's a bottom, & IMO really resembles a young Tom Cruise. Much more so, than the American porn guy christened "Tommy Cruise".
On Randy Blue, & in one of Michael Lucas' audition films, there's a guy named "Kyle". He really looks like a darker haired version of Matt Damon.
heres one kinda gross but def a resemblance
Decased young actor Brad Renfro looked very much like US porn twink Chance. They even had identical hair cuts for a while. However, I picked Brad's pic here because of his nice bulge.
Connor (from Corbin Fisher) and this guy who was in the movie about the boat.

you can buy thatstuff at wal mart.. sad huh?
Are you DORK enough?

I've had frostbite, but mine was environmental and only slightly dependant on my stupidity (I didn't wear 3 layers, only 2). I had gone to Alaska on a cruise that my grandmother funded. I actually stood on a glacier, unfortunately there was a problem with the transport that they brought us up in and we had to stay there for about 2 hours, and my stupid (although I couldn't see this sittuation coming) mistake of wearing only 2 layers made me pay with excruciating pain on my feet and fingers. I came out of it fine, though, and everything fortunately healed correctly.
I tried having sex with my fridge once. After that, I had no choice but to turn gay.
you had... sex... with... your fridge...
how does that work?
wouldnt you freeze your balls off?

Don't feel too stupid Jakko.
While I've never had any mishaps playing paintball [other than being target practice <_<] I have burned my hands...
I was on a camping trip, and needed to clean my hands, there was a big pan of water over on the burner stand [which was off] so I though 'Hmm... nice and hot water, perfect for cleaning hands in!' and plunged my hands in. Only to pull them out about one second later when I realized 'Hey, this is fucking hot!'. I later worked out that I basically put my hands in it about 2 minutes after they'd turned off the burner... to let it cool down x_x
Luckily I only got very slightly burned due to me taking insanely hot baths/showers. Leaving me numbed to anything but extremely hot objects.
And they don't burn me either! [except boiling oil...]
So yeah... pretty stupid because I'd walked by it only a few minutes before and noticed that yes, the really big ass bunsen burner was indeed on, making that little grill you put things on top of [big buckets of water] white hot.

How a native American tribe got their salmon back, by way of New Zealand
(Read article summary)Fifty years ago, a dam took salmon away from the native American tribe Winnemem Wintu. With a little help from New Zealand, the tribe is finally reintroducing salmon to northern California's McCloud River.
Marc Dadigan
Christchurch, New Zealand
• A local, slice-of-life story from a Monitor correspondent.
The eel was there, just as the Maori said it would be. About two feet long and colored a misty sapphire, the longfin eel billowed in place beneath the glassy waters as the Winnemem Wintu watched in rapt silence.
With the foothills of New Zealand's Southern Alps looming in the distance, about two dozen members of the northern California tribe had lined the banks to peer into the shallow creek. Many aimed video or still cameras down at the South Island waterway, a traditional spawning ground for the country's modest chinook salmon fishery. The small tribe had traveled across the Pacific to commune with their sacred salmon, which they hadn't seen in more than 60 years.
But there to greet them instead was an eel, the sacred fish of their native Maori hosts. Some said its presence was a good omen, a messenger sent as a welcome by a Taniwha, a guardian spirit of the water.
Soon, the first salmon appeared, spectral blurs of gray floating past. Spiritual leader Caleen Sisk-Franco clapped her hands, her eyes welling with tears.
"They're so small!" she said with motherly concern. "When we take them home, they'll get bigger."

Re:Vaccinating carriers... (569 comments)
I am also not a doctor, but I'd point out that you're comparing apples and oranges -- or more accurately: urethrae and cervices. The high cell turnover is a property of the cervix, which men do not have. Women's urethrae are just like men's urethrae, neither of which have the duality of epithelial cells.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (NYSE: AB) and AllianceBernstein L.P today announced organizational changes that streamline the firm's management structure. With these changes, the firm aims to improve the execution of its long-term strategy of diversifying the mix of investment services it offers to clients, and increasing operating leverage.
- James A. Gingrich -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the firm's sell-side research subsidiary, Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC -- will assume the role of Chief Operating Officer of AllianceBernstein, effective immediately.
- Robert P. van Brugge, Global Director of Research at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC, will succeed Mr. Gingrich as Chairman and CEO of Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC.
- Robert M. Keith, Co-Head of Institutional and Retail Distribution, will assume sole responsibility for client service, sales and marketing in those channels, globally.
- Lawrence Cohen, Chief Technology Officer, will head both Technology and Operations.

Peter S. Kraus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AllianceBernstein, said, "Jim has a tremendous track record of success, first as a research analyst and then as global director of research. Over the past five years, he has been at the forefront in establishing and growing our European and Asian sell-side research efforts and launching European electronic trading and U.S. derivatives trading businesses as well. He has achieved this global expansion while maintaining the preeminence of our sell-side research brand in the United States. Jim's experience makes him ideally suited for managing the broad portfolio that the COO role requires."

1997 film by Mike Newell starring Al Pacino, Michael Madsen …
Jacob's Ladder is a 1990 psychological thriller / horror film directed by Adrian Lyne, based on a screenplay by Bruce Joel Rubin. It stars Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Peña, Danny Aiello, and Jason Alexander. Actor Macaulay Culkin appears briefly in an uncredited performance.
Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) is a U.S. soldier in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War. When the story begins, helicopters are passing overhead, carrying supplies for what seems to be preparations for a big Viet Cong offensive. Without any warning, Jacob's unit comes under fire. The soldiers try to take cover but begin to exhibit strange behavior for no apparent reason. Jacob attempts to escape the unexplained insanity, only to be bayonetted by an unseen enemy.
The film then shifts back and forth from Vietnam to Jacob's memories (and hallucinations) of his son Gabe (Macaulay Culkin, uncredited) and former wife Sarah (Patricia Kalember), and to his present (set in 1975) relationship with a woman named Jezebel (Elizabeth Peña) in New York City. During this latter period, Jacob faces several threats to his life and has severe hallucinatory experiences. It is subsequently revealed that his son Gabe was hit by a car and killed while Jacob was in Vietnam.
At a key moment, Jacob's friend, chiropractor and guardian angel Louis (Danny Aiello), cites the 14th century Christian mystic Meister Eckhart—"Eckhart saw Hell too; he said: 'the only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you,' he said. 'They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.'"
As the hallucinations become increasingly bizarre, Jacob learns about chemical experiments performed on U.S. soldiers in Vietnam. His surviving platoon-mates confess to Jacob they too have been seeing horrible hallucinations. Jacob loses an army buddy in a car-ignition explosion while reaching down to pick up a quarter. Jacob is then approached by a man named Michael Newman (Matt Craven), who claims to have been a chemist working with the Army's chemical warfare division in Saigon where he worked on creating a drug that would increase aggression in soldiers. Tests of the drug (code-named "The Ladder" in reference to the effect) were first performed on monkeys and then on a group of enemy POWs with gruesome results. Later, small doses of "The Ladder" were secretly given to Jacob's fellow soldiers via their C-rations. Instead of targeting the enemy, however, the men in Jacob's unit attacked each other indiscriminately. This revelation insinuates that Jacob was stabbed by one of his own men.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Brazil and the European Union reached an open-skies aviation agreement and
will sign an accord in June, Valor Economico newspaper reported.
The liberalization will be carried out over three years, increasing
competition, the Sao Paulo-based newspaper said, citing an interview with
Bruno Dalcolmo, head of international relations at Brazila**s civil
aviation agency, known as Anac.
The agreement will increase the number of flights and cities served in
Europe and Brazil, and may reduce fares, the paper said.
After concluding negotiations in December, Brazil will also sign today an
open-skies pact with the U.S., Valor said. The agreement will allow total
liberalization of fares and destinations by 2015, the newspaper reported.

Liverpool Coach Brendan Rodgers confirmed yesterday that talks had taken place with Inter, and the 20-year old is rumoured to be having a medical at Liverpool today ahead of a €10m deal.
Last night, Pochettino finally admitted defeat in his pursuit of the player. He told TalkSport:
"I am not disappointed we couldn't sign him [Coutinho].
"Coutinho is a quality player, and since I arrived I knew there was a small chance we could sign him, but I haven't had much time to consider signings"
If Southampton 'couldn't sign him', then that leaves the Reds with a clear run, which means that there are no further obstacles in the way to the signing taking place. As noted a few days ago, there is still the work permit issue to consider, but if Coutinho is having a medical, then the club must have that all sewn up.
There is, however, som potentially bad news. In an interview with the BBC, Corriere dello Sport journalist Andrea Ramazzotti - who has watched all of Coutinho's 28 games for Inter Milan - sounded a note of caution over the Brazilian:
"Coutinho played very well when he was on loan at Espanyol last season, and started well for Inter this season, but they were only brief spells really. For the rest of the time he just showed flashes of his potential and I fear the way of playing in England, which can be very physical, will not suit him, because he has a slight frame."
That doesn't sound too promising. The likes of Raheem Sterling and Suso have struggled at times this season with the physicality of the Premier League, and they already have an advantage over Coutinho in that they are used to English football.
After splashing out £26m on Joe Allen and Fabio Borini (who haven't really made a massive difference to the team), and Sahin and Assaidi (who haven't worked out), Rodgers needs to start getting his transfers right.
Hopefully, Coutinho will follow Daniel Sturridge's lead and make an immediate impact.

Feb. 11 (Bloomberg) -- DLF Ltd., India's biggest developer, reported third-quarter profit that missed analyst estimates on lower sales and a jump in financing costs.
Net income slid 45 percent to 2.58 billion rupees ($52 million) in the three months ended Dec. 31 from 4.66 billion rupees a year earlier, the company said in a statement yesterday. That compared with the 3.92 billion rupee median of 25 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Sales fell 18 percent to 20.34 billion rupees, the New Delhi-based DLF said.
DLF was downgraded in December by Crisil Ltd., the Indian unit of Standard & Poor's, after its liabilities excluding cash climbed to a record high of 242.7 billion rupees in the three months ended Sept. 30, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The company is committed to its target of raising 60 billion rupees to 70 billion rupees from non-strategic asset divestment in the next three years to reduce debt, DLF said in response to the downgrade by Crisil. DLF and its joint venture partner Hubtown Ltd. completed the sale of a property in December in the western Indian city of Pune to a unit of Blackstone Group LP for 8.1 billion rupees.
The company spent 6.19 billion rupees on financing charges last quarter, 45 percent higher than in the same period in the previous year, according to yesterday's statement.
It also said the Income Tax department has levied a demand for additional tax of 11.37 billion rupees, mostly as a disallowance of special economic zone profit. The company hasn't made any provision for the payment as it is "confident that additional tax so demanded will not be sustained on completion of the appellate proceedings," DLF said.
