"This was the perfect colorful announcement for my winter baby girl! Feminine without the floral. It was nice to be able to feature a small photo of our new family on the back opposite of the larger photo of our precious baby girl."
"I used this design for my daughter's birth announcement. I was very happy with it as it gave room for a nice big picture and announced her birth in more of a story form instead of just a few facts scattered across the page, as some announcements are designed. I was able to add another sentence on to the original wording without having to change the font size, though any more lines than that would have caused me to size it smaller. Overall the turnout was great. My only other comment was that the the final product looked ever so slightly grainy in the flesh tones on her arm. No idea why it was one spot (on all of them) and not over the whole picture but I doubt anyone other than me noticed. Her smile stole the show!"
"My chosen card design complemented my chosen photos so the colours worked really well together as well as the photo composition. I couldn't be happier with the end product."
"This card was exactly what we were looking for. It is simple and beautiful. The card stock was thick and felt very high end. We used these as adoption announcements for our daughter and changed the text to read "Coming Soon." The ability to customize the announcement was greatly appreciated as she is not an infant. All in all we received exactly what we expected to receive and have already recommended this site to our friends."
"Great birth announcement and super easy to use website. I especially like the address book that I could pre- populate before the birth happened. And being able to save your projects and finishing them at a later time is very convenient."

Matt Kemp's agent fires back at Ned Colletti
Apr 29, 2010, 5:10 PM EDT
Ned Colletti called out Matt Kemp the other day. Yesterday Dave Stewart, who (a) is Matt Kemp's agent; and (b) is one of the more intimidating dudes to have played the game in recent
history, fired back:
"This kind of thing in all the years I've been in baseball has never
happened with any general manager on any team I've ever played on where
you single out a player and you hold him accountable for the outcome of
what 24 other players are doing as well. There are 25
players on a team."
Stewart also made a point to mention that Kemp is up for arbitration in the near future and within a couple of years of free agency. Which, given the context, strikes me as a warning to Colletti that if things keep up the way they are and his client keeps getting called out, Stewart and Kemp may not be in a dealing mood.
Which is a problem. Not as big a problem as the lousy signal it sends to every other player currently on or ever considering joining the Dodgers while Ned Colletti is on the job (i.e. we'll throw you under the bus is we have to) but a problem all the same.
- Go Look it Up - Apr 29, 2010 at 6:17 PM
Is Dave Stewart "one of the more intimidating dudes to have ever played the game" because he got arrested with a Transvestite Prostitute?
Or is he intimidating because he failed to tip said Prostitute?
Clarify, s.v.p.

Are you a big celebrity gossip fan or a sports fan? Or does that sort of thing just interest you?

Los Angeles transvestites are better looking than New England women. If all you're looking for is a BJ in a car, there's really no reason to assume that your gorgeous, orally talented provider is actually a guy. It could happen to anyone. Errr, right guys? Who's with me? Aside from Ronaldo and Eddie Murphy and every other poor schmoe who's been dealt the "tranny surprise."
I also love that there are dweebs like this loser here trying to insult Dave Stewart electronically. I really wish there was some way to take this particular sack of crap and set him up with a steel cage match against Dave Stewart.

Ned should probably keep his mouth shut when he's drinking.

at the end of the preload, and for 1/2 second approximately, the design from the "fla" appears on screen but with the elements as they are in the fla, and then they take their right position, as set in the .as file : because the elements need to know the size of the window.
For example : in the fla, i drew a square of 10x10 in blue that becomes a flag of 10x stage.stageWidth after we know the size of the user's window.
Is there a solution to avoid to see the elements before they are not at their "right" size?

Sound as a bitcoin? That doesn't sound as if it will enter the lexicon, at least not anytime soon, after the so-called virtual currency soared and crashed last week, not long after bursting into the consciousness of the financial world.
The Bitcoin was supposed to be a 21st-century monetary unit, an alternative not controlled by any government and therefore immune to its manipulation. While Bitcoins have been around for a few years as an intellectual exercise among libertarian-inclined computer geeks, they only took off in recent weeks as actions of various governments to manipulate—or in the case of Cyprus, confiscate—money balances went to unprecedented extremes.
In May 2010, U.S. computer programmers supposedly paid 10,000 Bitcoins—then worth less than a cent apiece—for a couple of pizzas. That was long before the currency's bubble and bust last week. At its momentary peak, a Bitcoin fetched $266, which would have valued those pizzas at over $2.6 million (I don't know if toppings would be extra). But by week's end, the price of a Bitcoin had crashed to $54.25. While it was beginning to be used as a medium of exchange, the Bitcoin clearly wasn't fulfilling money's other function, to be a stable store of value.
Ben Levisohn, Barron's emerging-markets blogger and columnist, who has been covering the Bitcoin before it emerged into the mainstream, pointed out in a post Friday the similarity to another burst bubble of a generation ago—the Hunt Brothers' attempted corner of the silver market in late 1979 and early 1980.
You'll recall those days of yesteryear, when the dragon of inflation had yet to be slain by Paul Volcker, then head of the Federal Reserve, and paper currencies were held in suspicion, if not outright contempt. Gold also was in the process of hitting its then-peak of $850 an ounce. In any case, Ben notes, silver spiked nearly 600%, to more than $40 an ounce, but by May 1980, the metal had collapsed by 70%, to a tad over $12. "The lesson for investors: When you see something quintuple its price in a matter of months, take some profits," he counsels. (The post can be viewed here, with some illuminating charts of the two bubbles and busts.)
Skepticism about government fiat currencies now, if anything, is even greater, than it was three decades ago. The Bank of Japan has embarked on a massive money-printing scheme that has lifted Japanese stock prices nearly 50% but effectively devalued the yen 20% since late last year when it became apparent that Abenomics—named for the new prime minister, Shinzo Abe—would be adopted. (The outcome may be rather less salubrious than new Japan bulls expect, see Does Japan Face a Debt Apocalypse?.) Meanwhile, the Fed continues on its trillion-dollar-a-year bond-buying program, joined by virtually every other central bank around the globe in expanding its balance sheet. (The European Central Bank is a notable exception, letting its balance sheet shrink lately. The next crisis, when—not if—it comes will assuredly spur the ECB back into action.)
So, it is incongruous that gold—money that can't be printed, just minted—would enter a bear market Friday. To be sure, a number of big Wall Street banks had declared the end of the bull market in bullion in recent weeks. Yet, if the Street were a redoubtable forecasting indicator, analysts wouldn't have been falling over themselves to boost price targets on Apple AAPL -1.5351744876157316% Apple Inc.

Gold entered so-called official bear market territory by dropping 20% from its peak of $1,900 an ounce, hit in the speculative frenzy of September 2011. On Friday, gold fell through the $1,500 mark, with the active nearby Comex futures shedding 5.7%, or $88.80, to $1,476. The real story was told by the action in the SPDR Gold Shares GLD -0.07912087912087912% SPDR Gold Trust U.S.: NYSE Arca 113.66 -0.09 -0.07912087912087912% /Date(1427835600176-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4170668 AFTER HOURS 113.58 -0.0799999999999983 -0.0703853598451522% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 212646 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » exchange-traded fund (GLD), which slid 4.7% Friday as 55 million shares traded, five times the average daily volume of the past three months. Barrons.com's technical guru, Michael Kahn, relates that the bottom fell out when GLD (it's better known by its ticker rather than its proper name) broke below last May's lows.
Beyond price, the assets of GLD tell the story of the end of the gold frenzy. Barron's ETF expert, Brendan Conway, notes that GLD briefly was the world's biggest ETF, with assets north of $77 billion in August 2011, topping the SPDR S&P 500 spy -0.8739495798319328% SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust U.S.: NYSE Arca 206.43 -1.82 -0.8739495798319328% /Date(1427835600350-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 103975098 AFTER HOURS 206.4 -0.0300000000000011 -0.014532771399505887% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 22793605 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.8036331928498766% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (SPY) for a time. By the end of 2012, GLD still had $72.2 billion. But by last Thursday, its assets had shrunk by 18%, to $59.4 billion. No doubt Friday's collapse brought a further exodus, which certainly added to the selling pressure.
The carnage wasn't confined to the yellow metal. Silver also fell 5%, with its ETF, the iShares Silver Trust SLV -0.31289111389236546% iShares Silver Trust U.S.: NYSE Arca 15.93 -0.05 -0.31289111389236546% /Date(1427835600215-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4730949 AFTER HOURS 15.9 -0.0299999999999994 -0.18832391713747645% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 563336 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (SLV) plunging that percentage on 3.5 times recent average volume. And gold-mining stocks, which already had substantially unperformed the metal, took a similar hit, with the Market Vectors Gold Miners GDX -1.245262587980509% Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 18.24 -0.23 -1.245262587980509% /Date(1427835600176-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 30908463 AFTER HOURS 18.23 -0.00999999999999801 -0.05482456140350877% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3347974 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 0.6633771929824561% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (GDX) losing 5.7% on 2½ times recent average volume.
In a piece published in Barrons.com's Wall Street's Best Minds feature, Tocqueville Funds' John Hathaway contends that the selloff in gold was "a contrarian's dream scenario." Writing before Friday's 5% plunge, he noted the contrast between the widespread disaffection with the metal, encapsulated in a New York Times Thursday article, with the positive fundamentals for it: negative real interest rates, worldwide quantitative easing, and governments' new confiscatory inclinations, as demonstrated in Cyprus.
Meanwhile, the global debasement race to the bottom has produced some absurdities. Late Friday, the U.S. Treasury said that it is monitoring Japan's monetary expansion and would press Abe to refrain from competitive devaluation. With the Fed's printing press operating in overdrive, it's truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
The rush to the Bitcoin may have been a speculative bubble, but it may also represent an inchoate search for an alternative to government-controlled paper currencies.
Gold would fit that bill, but it appears caught up in a liquidation of commodities, such as base metals and petroleum products, and as a component in commodity indexes. Commodities are produced to be consumed. Gold isn't consumed; virtually all the gold ever extracted still exists as a store of value or a thing of beauty. That makes it fundamentally different from commodities.
Some day, an alternative to gold that doesn't require the tedious and expensive mining, storage, and transfer of the metal may be conjured. Those difficulties gave rise to paper money, which is being abused. For now, gold no longer is loved, which, to an independent-minded contrarian investor, only adds to its allure.
IN CONTRAST, THE QUEST for stability is evident in the equity market, where the most ardently desired stocks are those that act the most like bonds—paying a decent yield while exhibiting a lack of volatility.
Those attractive attributes have been encapsulated in an ETF, the PowerShares S&P Low Volatility SPLV -0.7327924627060979% PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio U.S.: NYSE Arca 37.93 -0.28 -0.7327924627060979% /Date(1427835600216-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1690652 AFTER HOURS 37.93 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 102 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.4174004745583972% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » Fund (SPLV), which has not only levitated in a virtual straight line since the turn of the year, but also has seen its assets burgeon. Through Thursday, the low-volatility ETF was up 15.6% in 2013, some 26% better than the 12.4% gain for SPY, according to Morningstar. And the exchange-traded fund has attracted $1 billion this year, bringing its assets to more than $4 billion, not an inconsiderable increase.

About Me[edit]
Hi, my name is AJ (or at least that is what I go by online). I have created many wiki pages for my job, but am new to Wikipedia editing. I joined up because I discovered the Military History project, and I figured I could contribute, as I have always been a WWII and military history nut. I work for a major software company as a computer geek (otherwise known as a Java developer). My other interests include: board games, astronomy, sports, and rock-n-roll.

Ces longues chaînes de raisons, toutes simples et faciles, dont les géomètres ont coutume de se servir pour parvenir à leurs plus difficiles démonstrations, m'avaient donné occasion de m'imaginer que toutes les choses qui peuvent tomber sous la connaissance des hommes s'entresuivent en même façon, et que, pourvu seulement qu'on s'abstienne d'en recevoir aucune pour vraie qui ne le soit, et qu'on garde toujours l'ordre qu'il faut pour les déduire les unes des autres, il n'y en peut avoir de si éloignées auxquelles enfin on ne parvienne, ni de si cachées qu'on ne découvre.
The long chains of reasonings, simple and easy, by which geometricians are wont to achieve their most complex proofs, had led me to suppose that all things, the knowledge of which man may achieve, are strung together in the same way, and that there is nothing so distant as ultimately to be beyond our mental grasp, or so hidden that we cannot uncover it, provided only we avoid accepting falsehoods as true, and always preserve in our thoughts the discipline essential for the deduction of one truth from another.
–René Descartes, Le Discours de la méthode pt 2 (1637)(S.H. transl.)
Descartes, a towering figure of the seventeenth century, made no contribution greater than his rules for the discipline of thinking. He comes to compelling conclusions, but he starts from simple premises. In fact, it would be no simplification to say that he starts with Euclidian geometry. He notes how it builds from simple thoughts–first principles and definitions–and steadily develops more and more complex notions from them. In a like manner, Descartes tells us, man can aspire to know even the most complex and distant truths–it requires the patience and resolve to approach the problem in increments. But the key to the success of this approach is the rigorous commitment to truth and willingness to reject whatever is false. Descartes is presenting a cloaked criticism of the great scientific controversy of his time: the trial of Galileo and the posture of the Church, which adhered to Aristotelian precepts about the structure of the universe long after they had been scientifically disproven. A dogmatic adherence to falsehood of the sort frequently claimed by religions which claimed a special knowledge of ultimate questions was, in Descartes's thinking, one of the greatest challenges to the human species. But for Descartes, the illogical adherence to uttered falsehoods is a human constant which the scientific mind must struggle to overcome. "Since the pressure of things to be done does not always allow us to stop and make such a meticulous check, it must be admitted that in this human life we are often liable to make mistakes about particular things, and we must acknowledge the weakness of our nature."
Among Descartes's contemporaries, the Stuttgart-born composer J.J. Froberger assumes a special role as a master of the keyboard and a stylistic conciliator. He mastered the stylus fantasticus of Frescobaldi and the Roman School and merged this with the North German and French styles, and he developed the notion of the keyboard suite. But he was also an early experimenter with programmatic music. Froberger also approaches the task of composition as an essentially mathematical exercise in which each chord has a relationship to the one that proceeded and the one that followed it.
Listen to Johann Jakob Froberger's Tombeau fait à Paris sur la mort de Monsieur Blancrocher (1652) performed by Blandine Verlet on a Ruckers II harpsichord from 1624:
And then listen to the Lamentation faite sur la mort très douloureuse de Sa Majesté Impériale, Ferdinand III (1657), a work composed in the unusual key of F (for obvious reasons), and particularly the three notes of F struck at the conclusion, which fade off into eternity, a notion that Froberger stressed in his extraordinary manuscript of the score:

Victoria Beckham Is a Re-Outfitter!
Posh just keeps getting more and more down-to-earth, it seems. I know I'm not the only one whose heart she stole the other night on her TV special Victoria Beckham: Coming to America; she was so likeable, witty and devoted to her family. Her razored blonde do has grown on me & she's like a British Barbie-doll. Alas, Victoria is a re-outfitter!
I was that girl in high school who never wore the same outfit twice - I kind of still am. What can I say: I'm a clotheshorse! And what I would give for a tour of the British babe's closet, but it appears she plays favorites and isn't afraid to be caught in a very similar look. She just wore this casual (for her) grey look with her little men and she wore a similar look back in February - (slightly different top, another pair or heels). The off-shoulder heather grey loose sweater, grey jeans and killer stilettos is an official Posh look. Major.

You are consistently the most combative commentator in the economist blogosphere. I hardly ever agree, but I admire your style. keep it up.
actually here's what I said, "who is going to travel 5 mph faster than they can in their own comfy car?"
why, who, what, where, when, how
I wrote who, you read why. I'm not sure why you thought I wanted some silly 2 item long list of some qualitative "advantage" of 70 mph "high speed rail." but now I have it. so thank you very much.
forsize - not really sure of your point here. You asked why, if speed wasn't much of advantage, anyone would use HSR, so I pointed out some other advantages. The number of people for whom these would outweigh any disadvantages would be a different question. Sorry if you found the response "haughty"; it wasn't intended that way.
Our state cancelled HSR, and rightly so.
The annual subsidy from the state was to be $16 million/year.
Of course, that is a low-ball figure for a 50 mph train which detours to Dayton on the Cincy to Columbus route.
A few years ago I was able to take "The Football Express" from various spots within the county to downtown to see the local NFL team.
The cost was $2.50 each way. The bus would arrive near the stadium 1 hour before the game, and head back 45 minutes after the game. So that would cost myself and a guest $10 for a round trip vs. $20 parking (I won't mention fuel and headache csots).
The parking lots are now $25 and guess what?
Our federal legislatures wrote into one of the the Transportation bills that the local transit agency was forbidden to offer those services.
There are not many alternatives now. To use public transportation would involve 2 transfers and more time. The closest dropoff point to the stadium is about 1/4 - 1/2 mile from the stadium.
So I am very wary of anything that Congress wants to cram down our throat.
Why is it everything Congress does
does not benefit the average guy, but benefits banks and the rich?
@Bernardo O'Higgins
You raise a good point about population density. I agree wholeheartedly (having driven on I-95 from DC to NYC more than a few times) that the east coast should be a haven for HSR, so your critique seems more to be about where HSR should be placed. In the light of Avent's "bollixed plus HSR" line of thinking, a line from LA to SF would make a lot of sense, as it would allow the SF/LA airports to open up some of their highly constrained capacity by reducing short flights.
I think N.B.'s comments actually could go a little further. Given that HSR only makes sense in dense areas, it will not only be the "elites" proposing it, but it will be the "elites" benefiting from it. How many rural Nebraskans are going to be in favor of a huge project that only makes life better for city folk and doesn't help "real americans"?
if only I had said it was devoid of advantages jebed! bicycling to work has advantages to. so I guess some bicycle to work enthusiast could make the same haughty post at me declaring that it is "not devoid of advantages."
on a similar note that should be my new insult. "he is not devoid of redeeming features."
"who is going to travel 5 mph faster than they can in their own comfy car?"
Someone who wants to get some work done on the trip and not worry getting stuck in traffic or finding a parking spot? Clearly it would be nice to go much faster than a car, but it's not as though going a similar speed (to a hypothetical car on an uncongested road) is devoid of advantages.
Bernardo: I'm not sure why a HSR station would have similar security to an airport (other countries don't seem to need it). I suspect the amount of damage a passenger would need to do to a train to make it e.g. derail or suffer some other problem where its speed would magnify the casulaties is a lot more than they'd need to make a plane crash. Yes, a bomber could kill a lot of people on a crowded train car, but it's not obvious it would be significantly worse than, say, the same thing happening on a bus.
What if high speed rail just legitimately doesn't make sense in large parts of America? The SF-LA line in California is a logistical and planning nightmare, costs $10 billion dollars (and probably a lot more) of taxpayer-backed money, and in the end what do we get? LA and SF each have 3 airports already, with Southwest flights from Oakland to LAX (or SFO to Burbank, San Jose to Orange County, etc) at $50.00 each way for a 45-minute trip. The train is estimated to cost about the same, and to take 3 hours to make the trip. People say that the train is faster because of the security at airports, but why won't there be at least equal security at the shiny new high speed rail stations? And, while it would be nice to leave from downtown in the Bay Area, arriving anywhere in LA without a car is going to leave you stranded in a public trasit wasteland.
I just don't see how California has the population density throughout the central valley to support this line. Have you ever driven down I-5? There's nothing out there except for farms, which already make use of an excellent freight rail system and will gain nothing from HSR. High speed rail works in Japan, Europe, and the Northeast US because high population densities support high ridership along the length of the line, playing on the basic strength of a train over an airplane (the ability to stop between major destinations). In California we're looking at creating a system used almost entirely for end-to-end (Bay Area/Sacramento to LA) travel. Fresno will still be too awful for anyone to want to disembark, even if it is the center of the high speed rail network.
All this is coming from a godless tax-and-spend democrat pinko Berkeley resident, etc, etc. Sometimes these things are actually bad ideas.
what in the world is the purpose of upgrading a rail line to 70 mph to put passengers on it? who is going to travel 5 mph faster than they can in their own comfy car? and if that counts as high speed rail, maybe the population just realized they're being sold a bill of goods.
HSR has been nothing but a boondoggle in america. maybe the technocrats are actually retards. just looking at california's high speed rail adventures is like watching a fish try solve a rubix cube. of course by watch I mean hand the fish billions of dollars in the attempt. and while watching and handing the fish money be ridiculed relentless by the fish as an anti-intellectual moron american.
so ya f the fish.

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) at various time points regulates organ excitation to maintain healthy functions in the living body. The energy required from basal metabolism can be used to explain living organisms according to the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) concept of relationships between meridian directions and organs at various times (organs "at rest" and organs "in operation"). By monitoring skin reactions after applying a cream, we speculated regular blood flow changes, and established an animated hourglass-shaped trajectory diagram to visualize these changes. A combination of TCM and physiological perspectives were considered to explain how the cardiovascular system produces energy. These two perspectives were applied to interpret the correlation between the SNS and organ metabolism. Open Access Concept Paper: Anticancer Effect of Rutin Isolated from the Methanolic Extract of Triticum aestivum Straw in Mice by Savita Dixit Med. Sci. 2014, 2(4), 153-160; doi:10.3390/medsci2040153 - published 23 October 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: Rutin is the bioactive flavanoid isolated from the straw part of Triticum aestivum and possess various pharmacological applications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the chemopreventive potential of rutin in an experimental skin carcinogenesis mice model system. Skin tumor was induced by topical application of 7,12-dimethyl benz(a) anthracene (DMBA) and promoted by croton oil in Swiss albino mice. To assess the chemopreventive potential of rutin, it was orally administered at a concentration of (200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg body weight) continued three times weekly for 16th weeks. The development of skin carcinogenesis was assessed by histopathological analysis. Reductions in tumor size and cumulative number of papillomas were seen due to rutin treatment. Average latent period was significantly increased as compared to carcinogen treated control. Rutin produced significant decrease in the activity of serum enzyme serum glutamate oxalate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bilirubin when compared with the control. They significantly increased the levels of enzyme involved in oxidative stress glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. The elevated level of lipid peroxidase in the control group was significantly inhibited by rutin administration. The results from the present study suggest the chemopreventive effect of rutin in DMBA and croton oil induced skin carcinogenesis in swiss albino mice and one of the probable reasons would be its antioxidant potential. Open Access Article: Assessment and Screening of the Risk Factors in Metabolic Syndrome by Jaspinder Kaur Med. Sci. 2014, 2(3), 140-152; doi:10.3390/medsci2030140 - published 11 July 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is chronic inflammatory epidemic state contributing to total and cardiovascular mortality. The current study planned to assess and screen risk factors for MetS and its components. A cross-sectional study conducted to assess age, gender, social status, employment, education, family history, physical activity, dietary habits, alcohol, sleep, body mass index and stress as determinants of MetS. The results were analyzed by Chi Square test with statistical significance of p value <0.05. The frequency of MetS was 17.38% as per modified National Cholesterol Education Program–Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Females (57.38%), age >50 years (86.90%; p < 0.05), middle socioeconomic status (70.50%), illiteracy (39.35%), and unemployment (81.97%; p < 0.05) were found contributing though to different extents. Subjects with a sedentary lifestyle (72.14%), positive family history (42.63%), omnivore diet (47.55%), stress (78.69%; p < 0.05), insomnia (29.51%) and increased BMI (83.62%; p < 0.001) had shown predisposition to MetS. However, the protective role of alcohol (38.28%), an active lifestyle (36.21%), vegetarian diet (62.07%) and adequate sleep (73.11%) was observed. A significant hypertension (98.37%; p < 0.001), dyslipidemia (77.05%; p < 0.001), dysglycemia (75.41%; p < 0.001) and obesity (59.02%; p < 0.001) was reported in MetS. Common concerns of female gender, increasing age and BMI, sedentary lifestyle, stress and positive family history should be considered for early identification and appropriate intervention to fight the growing MetS epidemic. Open Access Article: Pattern Recognition of Gene Expression with Singular Spectrum Analysis by Hossein Hassani and Zara Ghodsi Med. Sci. 2014, 2(3), 127-139; doi:10.3390/medsci2030127 - published 1 July 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: Drosophila segmentation as a model organism is one of the most highly studied. Among many maternal segmentation coordinate genes, bicoid protein pattern plays a significant role during Drosophila embryogenesis, since this gradient determines most aspects of head and thorax development. Despite the fact that several models have been proposed to describe the bicoid gradient, due to its association with considerable error, each can only partially explain bicoid characteristics. In this paper, a modified version of singular spectrum analysis is examined for filtering and extracting the bicoid gene expression signal. The results with strong evidence indicate that the proposed technique is able to remove noise more effectively and can be considered as a promising method for filtering gene expression measurements for other applications. Open Access Review Review: Application of Massively Parallel Sequencing in the Clinical Diagnostic Testing of Inherited Cardiac Conditions by Ivone U. S. Leong, Jonathan R. Skinner and Donald R. Love Med. Sci. 2014, 2(2), 98-126; doi:10.3390/medsci2020098 - published 13 June 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: Sudden cardiac death in people between the ages of 1–40 years is a devastating event and is frequently caused by several heritable cardiac disorders. These disorders include cardiac ion channelopathies, such as long QT syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and Brugada syndrome and cardiomyopathies, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. Through careful molecular genetic evaluation of DNA from sudden death victims, the causative gene mutation can be uncovered, and the rest of the family can be screened and preventative measures implemented in at-risk individuals. The current screening approach in most diagnostic laboratories uses Sanger-based sequencing; however, this method is time consuming and labour intensive. The development of massively parallel sequencing has made it possible to produce millions of sequence reads simultaneously and is potentially an ideal approach to screen for mutations in genes that are associated with sudden cardiac death. This approach offers mutation screening at reduced cost and turnaround time. Here, we will review the current commercially available enrichment kits, massively parallel sequencing (MPS) platforms, downstream data analysis and its application to sudden cardiac death in a diagnostic environment.
