Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
24 Sep 2010 19:08 GMT | Asia, US & Canada, Australia, Canada, China
The Commonwealth Games should never have been awarded to India, Australia's Olympic chief has said, pouring more fuel to a controversy sparked by chaotic planning and execution of the event.
John Coates' remarks come as Indian authorities struggle to complete venues, forcing some teams to take up temporary accommodation at hotels.
"I don't think it is a cultural thing. When you agree to host [the Games], you are required to provide the basics in terms of health and hygiene for the athletes," Coates said on Friday.
"The Games shouldn't have been awarded to Delhi in hindsight."
Athletes have complained about dirty accommodation, shoddy construction and security fears.
A portion of false ceiling in the weightlifting venue caved in on Wednesday, a day after the collapse of a footbridge at the main stadium, injuring 27 workers. In another incident, armed men shot and wounded two foreign visitors near a historic mosque in Delhi on Sunday in a suspected terrorist attack.
Scheduled to begin on October 3, the event is expected to cost Indian taxpayers close to $6bn.
Boost for organisers
In what could be the first encouraging signs for the Indian organisers, two senior international sports officials declared on Friday that conditions at the Games' village had greatly improved, though they said clean-up work should continue urgently.
The same day, the first foreign athletes - the English hockey and lawn bowling teams - arrived in New Delhi. However, they planned to stay in hotels for a few days before moving to the village, where thousands of cleaners have been pressed into urgent action.
"Everybody is very excited and wants to get into action and get going really," Caroline Searle, a spokesperson for the England Commonwealth Games organising body, said.
Some of the athletes later toured the village to assess the conditions there.
"The flats are spacious, which is good for a major games, but there are bits and pieces to be done to bring them up to standard," Ben Middleton, an English hockey player, said in a statement.
"A couple of days will make a difference.
Also, after holding its team back because of the problems, New Zealand decided to attend the games.
" />
Meanwhile, Mike Fennell, the Commonwealth Games Federation head, toured the athletes' village and met senior officials from participating countries. He was also due to meet KM Chandrasekhar, the most senior aide to the Indian prime minister.
Fennel's staff informed him that "considerable improvements have been made within the village", he said in a statement.
"It is vital that all remedial work that has already started continues with the greatest urgency."
For his part, Perry Crosswhite, the head of Australia's Commonwealth Games Association, said: "I am very pleased with the village as of now."
Kenya said it would send a 240-strong team after receiving security assurances from India, officials said, though several of its star athletes have withdrawn because of illness or fatigue. Wales also gave its team the all-clear to go.
On the downside, several UK athletes have pulled out over concerns about health and security, including Phillips Idowu, the triple jump world champion, and Christine Ohuruogu, the Olympic 400 metres gold medallist.
Greg Henderson became the first New Zealand athlete on Friday to withdraw over concerns about health and security.
Geraint Thomas, the Olympic cycling champion, and three other Welsh riders has also opted out of the Games.
The New Zealand, Canada and Scotland teams have decided to delay their arrivals.
Indian assurances
Manmohan Singh, India's prime minister, reviewed on Thursday the preparations with senior ministers, an official in his office said.
Suresh Kalmadi, chairman of the Delhi organising committee, said no team would pull out. "I can assure you that security is well in place. Now if some people have their own conception [of security], I can't help," he said.
But in a sign of desperation, his committee was asked to hand over management of the Games village, which will house 6,500 athletes, to the government.
"There has been a mixed reaction about the Games. Many are embarrassed, others think India will still be able to pull it off," Al Jazeera's Prerna Suri reported from New Delhi.
"There is an army of cleaners at work in the athletes' village and sprays [against dengue fever] are being used all across the area."
Many sporting events have hit trouble before opening, such as the 2004 Athens Olympics, and some of Delhi's infrastructure projects, including a new metro and airport, have won praise.
But polls in the local media show that a vast majority of Indians are ashamed of the Commonwealth Games mismanagement.

"Common sense is in spite of, not the result of, education." ~ Victor Hugo
"Government corruption, overly complex legislation, bureaucratic inefficiency and over-educated academic idiots smother COMMON SENSE." ~ Ron Ewart
Only men with the strongest resolve can resist and not be corrupted by the influence of importance and position. ~ Thomas Paine, in his book Common Sense, wrote this:
"Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions."
Without honor in the people and in government, there can be no freedom. Position, perceived importance and the almost assured corruption that results there from, always poisons the well of honor if men are not, by nature, honorable. That brings us to the subject of this article.
In about one second you are going to think that the conservative author who has been writing the articles you have been reading for these last 10 years, has lost his mind. Not hardly! Continue reading

STEWART Donald has this morning told the Oxford Mail he is prepared to back Charlie Methven's consortium with 'substantial funds' in their takeover bid for Oxford United.
A group of Oxfordshire businessmen led by Methven revealed last week they had held talks with U's owner Ian Lenagan about a potential deal. This morning it was confirmed a formal offer had been submitted.
They face a rival bid from a consortium led by Mark Ashton and Darryl Eales, who appear to be the frontrunners with rumours emerging that they may even have signed a deal in principle.
However Donald, a lifelong U's fan whose company, Bridle Insurance, were previously club sponsors, is happy to back Methven's group.
"I was approached by Charlie Methven about helping them out, and I have agreed to do this," he said.
"I am a huge Oxford United fan and feel that the club are at a critical stage of their future."
Donald owns Conference South club Eastleigh, but says his involvement in Oxford will have no bearing on that.
"None whatsoever," he said.
"It does not impact at all. I am fully committed to Eastleigh and I am in the middle of a project there, maybe not even in the middle.
"I cannot own more than ten per cent of another club because of that involvement, so it will have no impact at all.
"I am doing this because I know my funds will be used for the good of Oxford United Football Club."
When asked about the amount he would be putting in, Donald replied: "Substantial. That's the best way to put it."

Also, it would be nice to have the option to put all the bridge officers in the same uniform (with color variations based on specialization) so that I don't have to change 10 uniforms if I want to make a minor adjustment.
Vaguely related, it would be nice to see duty officers (either the ones on active duty or any ones on the roster) inside the ship as well.

UK Picture Editors' Guild backs campaign against use of 'head clutcher' pictures for mental health storiesBy Danny Buckland 31 March 12:53
Danny Buckland is a freelance journalist who has worked for the Daily Mail, Sun and Daily Mirror. He writes regularly about mental health issues and general health across national titles and websites and has become increasingly concerned about the use of 'head clutcher' images in print, on TV and on the web. He is part of a campaigning group that includes mental health charities, service users and other journalists who want to find a better way to illustrate stories about mental health. Here, he gives an update on the progress of the campaign:
Since 2009, more than 100 local titles have closed. Many more have survived only by merging, which makes them more distant from their readers.

Germany's Angela Merkel was the first to concede after a Ukraine peace plan was reached in Minsk that "big hurdles" remain to silence the guns, but many are already hailing her as Europe's peacemaker-in-chief.
Chancellor Angela Merkel is set to join a Muslim community rally Tuesday to promote tolerance, condemn the jihadist attacks in Paris and send a rebuke to Germany's growing anti-Islamic movement.
Merkel said on Tuesday she would push Russia to guarantee the freedom of expression after what she described as the serious and sad murder of Nemtsov.
Merkel accused Russia of violating Europe's peaceful post-war order with its interventions in Ukraine and said Europe could not consider lifting economic sanctions.
Merkel says Muslims mustn't be ostracized in the wake of the terrorist attacks in France but it's also urgent for clerics to draw a clear line between Islam and terrorism.
Weizsaecker set high standards for the president's office and exercised great influence on the public as the "moral authority" of the nation.
The German leader acknowledged that experience to date of agreements being violated on the ground has been "disillusioning."
"Since the beginning of the crisis, the German government's goal has been to stabilise the eurozone" and all its member states, including Greece, he said.

Wade Hayes, a country music artist and cancer survivor, has partnered with Franklin High School's chapter of Future Business Leaders of America to spread community awareness about colon cancer. He will share both his story and his music which are designed to leave the audience inspired to live life to the fullest. Showtime is set for 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 7, and tickets are $15 each.
Wade Hayes was inspired to become a country music artist by his dad, Don Hayes, who was a professional country musician himself. Hayes landed his first record contract when he was 11 years old, but his life took a different direction and he began to focus on other things. In later years, he joined his father's band and in 1991, after seeing Ricky Staggs perform on the Country Music Association Awards, he decided to pursue a music career again. He moved to Nashville, Tenn., and signed a record deal in 1994.

NFC Times Exclusive: Apple's decision to exclude tag-reading functionality from its forthcoming NFC-enabled iPhones has caused disappointment among suppliers of tags and developers of tag applications, who told NFC Times they believe the omission could confuse consumers and potentially hamper tag-marketing campaigns.
NFC Times Exclusive: Proximity marketing firms in the U.S. and Europe say that their most successful campaigns see tens of thousands of taps or scans, but amid growing interest in Bluetooth low energy, they say that it is important not to over-use push advertising.
Possible use cases for Bluetooth low energy include proximity marketing, transit and event ticketing, and indoor navigation in retail stores, arenas and stadiums. Then, of course, there is payments–although it remains unclear how a BLE-based payments service would operate, and the concept remains mostly hypothetical, according to a new report on BLE from the Smart Card Alliance industry group.
NFC Times Exclusive: Despite a widespread belief in some circles that NFC and Bluetooth low energy, or BLE, are in competition, a number of observers say they believe that the two technologies will fill complementary market niches, especially in retail marketing and wearable devices.
Riders in 5,000 taxicabs in the U.S. would be able to tap on NFC tags on video advertising screens to download apps, brand information, coupons, maps, music and videos, according to technology suppliers that have equipped the taxis for potential advertising campaigns.
A recently released consumer survey by U.S.-based outdoor media company CBS Outdoor and UK-based consumer research company Kantar Media found that only 8% of the survey's respondents were aware of NFC, up from 6% the preceding year.
Such nonpayment applications as marketing campaigns and loyalty programs are more likely to drive adoption of NFC than payments, panelists told attendees of a recent "NFC Goes Social" event in Boston, organized by the MIT Enterprise Forum's NFC Cluster.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – A U.S. district court judge has ruled that T-Mobile USA infringed an NFC patent held by Israel-based On Track Innovations.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Another major New Zealand bank has announced plans to launch NFC payments with host-card emulation, snubbing a joint venture set up to launch SIM-based NFC on the island nation.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Windows 10 for phones, set to be released later this year, will support host card emulation, or HCE, based NFC payments, Microsoft revealed at a recent Windows event in China.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Germany-based Giesecke & Devrient confirmed it is providing the host-card emulation technology for Commonwealth Bank's commercial HCE launch this month of Tap & Pay from the bank's Android-based mobile-banking app.
Identiv CEO Jason Hart sounded optimistic tones about the company's NFC tag business, particularly in "Internet of Things" applications or tags for consumer goods, during a conference call last week to discuss Identiv's fourth quarter and full year 2014 earnings, but investors responded with less optimism.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – France-based Gemalto, which is keen to take the spotlight off its SIM business, projects EMV cards to represent perhaps the largest expected source of revenue growth in the coming year.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – UPDATED: Mobile point-of-sale device supplier Square has acquired payment processing component vendor Kili Technology, the same vendor that purchased NFC accessory vendor DeviceFidelity in November, but Square does not plan to keep DeviceFidelity, a source connected with Square told NFC Times.
NFC Times Exclusive – NFC Times has learned new details about how Samsung intends to make money from its planned payments service, Samsung Pay; as well as the technology architecture the OEM will use and the identity of two unannounced banks, along with a new category of issuer that is planning to participate.
NFC Times Exclusive – The public relations debacle Gemalto faced following revelations last month that U.S. and UK spy agencies had stolen keys from its SIM cards is not the only problem the France-based vendor has had to deal with regarding SIMs.
NFC Times Exclusive – MasterCard Worldwide has named James Anderson group executive for platforms, a key position inside the payment network, which is seeking to secure its role in the ecosystem as mobile payments start to gather steam, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – One of Australia's largest banks, Commonwealth Bank, is launching NFC payments from its mobile-banking app using host-card emulation, having earlier tried embedded secure elements, contactless stickers and iPhone attachments.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Google's recently announced API for NFC payments applications, Android Pay, is expected to support apps using host card emulation, or HCE, but also likely will support storage of keys on hardware.

Craven put himself in hole
Updated: August 20, 2002, 9:29 PM ETBy Rupen Fofaria | ESPN.com
Craven Ricky Craven got bit by what most thought to be an outdated practice last weekend and paid for it with his eighth straight finish outside the top 15.
Afterward, he called the move "stupid" and blamed no one but himself.
Craven ran in the top 10 for most of the day last weekend in the Pepsi
400 at Michigan International Speedway, but made the call with little
more than 30 lap remaining to take two tires instead of four. Like so
many teams over the past couple of years, Craven ...

Invitation to Consign: Fine Wines

World leader of the wine auction market in 2012, Christie's has followed this success with exceptional results in Paris and Geneva in the first half of 2013, while launching its first online only sale in Europe.

Highlights of this year include great vintages of Bordeaux which continue to fetch high prices, such as the Pétrus 1982 sold for €40,950 in Paris on 28 June or the vertical of Mouton-Rothschild from 1945 to 2008 sold for €207,700 in Geneva on 14 May.

Continuing to be reappraised and still more valued – notably by far-eastern collectors who accounted for a third of the buyers of our last Parisian auction – wines of Bourgogne also reach exceptional sell-through rates at Christie's: Henri Jayer wines were 100% sold by lot during this sale.

At the same time, the Paris department launched online only auctions in order to make its offerings more easily accessible to all wine lovers, whether they are seasoned collectors or new to the market. For its premiere in Europe, 5,000 bottles ranging from €80 to €15,000 were offered at auction online.

Our specialists are now accepting consignments for their upcoming sales. Please do not hesitate to contact them for free and confidential valuations of your collection.

This is just plain BS.
The original schedule for the WE vs CLG EU was at 12:00 PST, 15:00 EST, 21 CEST and 04:00 KST (it only sucked for Koreans while it was fine for everybody else)
And there were bunch of tech issues - it's okay - it happens. But WHY change the time now?
Now the new schedule for the same match is 17:00 PST, 20:00 EST, 02:00 CEST and 09:00 KST
Why oh why? So ppl from Europe (majority) will not be able to see the team from Europe playing.
And the rest of the matches are also in a really bad time for Europe. My work starts at 9AM so no way I can be up the whole night between 2-8AM to see the matches, as much as I would love to. If it was a weekend - no problem but like this..
And on Oct 6th, I was watching the stream from 21 PM till 6 AM in the morning next day (I'm in Europe).
Now I'm really disappointed and just plain sad.
Senior Member
You should speak to CLG EU first and see if they are ok with just one match, its not their fault RIOT ****ed the pooch on this, and one game for quarter finals is heavily stressful
so anyone know the link to the stream?
wonder why riot didnt put it there on there post
So let me get this straight... Play an All Mid in MLG?... Get dq'd... CHEAT in the world finals? Win 1 million dollars? Crazy lol
Best Riven Haiti
CLG.eu! Stop complaining CLG.eu won the game(s) fair and square, so it is going to be the quater final match
Thank God we dont have to watch CLG play all 3 games! Life is too short to watch them farm all night! Im sorry CLG I love you guys and you are a great team Im not denying that but for the love of all thats good and pure in this world you need to win faster! You know theres a problem when the only thing us spectators have to cheer for is ward clearing.
Haha ^
To all of you that keep complaining about cheating. Drop it already.... no one was cheating. I was there in the front row and not only where Riot employees on stage watching, all teams had 2 to 3 cameras in there faces at all times. The mini maps where set behind the players. Cheating would have been beyond obvious. And if that's not enough for you, I believe that the screens on stage where running on a 3 sec delay so even if a player did manage to turn his head 90 degrees without getting caught they still wouldn't have gathered accurate or game changing information.

My bathroom window is tiled over :(
I noticed a little mould problem in my bathroom due to water leaking from the shower. I bought a corner stopper to re-direct the flow of water and thought I would replace all mouldy areas of the bathroom. While doing this a friend awakened me to the fact that I donÂt have proper ventilation (a fan or an open window). So after taking a close look as to where I could install an exit vent for a fan I noticed a window that I had previously dismissed as a common room for the condo. After talking to a neighbour I realised that this window should be the window located in my shower for ventilation, SOME ONE HAD TILED IT OVER. So my question is . . . . any tips on how to demo that area? And make a water proof seal between the shower and the window (the window is still good I assume).

I was a Nurse Corps Officer and there were/are many opportunities for personal and professional growth. Apart from my "job" as a nurse, I was afforded many opportunities at a young age to take on special projects, lead Soldiers and civilians, and just do otherwise neat stuff. I got to travel the world many times over, meet exciting people, and make life long friends. Overall, the compensation and benefits are great compared to your civilian peers.
If you're willing to take on some personal hardship and lifestyle changes, joining the Army honestly may be the best thing for you. It totally changed my family tree.Cons
The Army Medical Department is very slow and cumbersome. We use antiquated, 1980's-era charting systems and techniques for the delivery of our care. Common sense solutions that are available off-the shelf right now can't be used in medical facilities (IT software, charting, billing techniques, referral procedures, etc.)
Although I'd like to believe that the people in the Army have a higher set of values, sadly that's not true. There are a lot of people who lie, cheat, and steal. Adultery, verbal abuse, hostile work environments are common.
You will move often. That was fine when I was young and single. But as a father and husband, it has been murder on my family. I missed the birth of my first child because of jerk leaders without souls.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Mission first, people always. It's not just a saying, it's our way of life. I wish more than 25% of you actually believed in this and demonstrated ethical leadership. It's sad to have to watch all the good ones go because of their frustration.RecommendsNeutral Outlook

Kindergarten Day USA and China/Kindergarten Day China and USA
Posted January 4, 2011
Recommended - I'm glad I purchased this book.
I used this book in a classroom of 5 - 6 year olds to teach them the similarities in a classroom in the US compared to a kindergarten classroom in China. It is a flip-me-over book, meaning one side goes through a day in a U.S. kindergarten classroom. Flip over to read through a story about a kindergarten class in China. Both classrooms are greeted by the teacher, have a story time, art time, eat lunch, celebrate a classmate's birthday, have recess, and share with friends. Several Chinese words are introduced (like the ones for friend, lunch, numbers 1 - 5). I wish the phonetic pronunciations were included. I had to look them up on the internet to learn how to correctly pronounce the words. Overall it is a nice introduction of similarities in a typical school day for children across the globe.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director
US calls blasphemy arrest 'disturbing'
Urges Pakistan government to conduct thorough and transparent investigation of the charges
- Philip Bader, Bangkok
- Asia
- August 21, 2012
In her daily press briefing on Monday, spokesperson Victoria Nuland welcomed reports that President Ali Asif Zardari had directed the Interior Ministry to review the arrest of the young girl, identified by local media as Rimsha Masih, whose age has been given as between 10 and 16 years in various media reports.
"We think that the president's statement is very, very welcome. And we urge the government of Pakistan to protect not just its religious minority citizens, but also women and girls."
Nuland further noted that "what is being touted as an abuse or an intentional act for religious purposes may, in fact, have been something else."
Masih was arrested on Friday in a Christian enclave in Islamabad on suspicion of blasphemy, which can be punishable by death.
A report by the New York Times said a local cleric had accused Masih, who Pakistan media have said suffers from Down's Syndrome, of possessing burned pages of a religious textbook used to teach the Koran to children.
Masih is reportedly being held at Adiyala jail in Rawalpindi.
Police investigator Zabhiullah Abbasi said Masih would be detained until August 25, after which she would be charged in court with blasphemy, according to a report by AFP, which further noted that she is being held in the same jail that houses the killer of former Punjab governor Salman Tasser, who was murdered in January 2011 for his opposition to the country's blasphemy laws.
Abbasi told AFP that Masih was illiterate but did not suffer from Down's Syndrome.
"The girl is 16 years old as per the medical report and she is normal," he said.
The arrests have further stoked religious tensions in the country, with many Christian families fleeing their homes over fears for their safety, according to reports.
State media said Monday that President Zardari had taken "serious note" of the incident and called for an explanation of the arrest.
In a report by online Pakistan news agency dawn.com on Monday, Nafisa Shah, head of the human rights unit of President Zardari's Pakistan People's Party, was quoted as saying Masih's arrest was a "glaring example" of the misuse of the country's blasphemy laws, which have been the subject of widespread criticism at home and abroad.
"All political parties and religious leaders must come together to find a solution to this issue which is creating insecurity among minorities," Shah was further quoted as saying.

Clinical Cases Dr. Faller – Sickle Cell Anemia I. PRESENTATION a. Around 6-7 months b. Symptoms: i. Rapid breathing, heart rate, murmur ii. Enlarged spleen iii. Dactylitis (enlarged hands and feet) c. To diagnose: take blood sample, remove O2, see if there is sickling II. GENETICS/BIOCHEMISTRY a. 1 copy of gene – protects from malaria (sickle cell endemic wherever malaria present) b. 2 copies of gene – disease: i. Single base mutatation - 6 Glu becomes Val ii. Patients have 22 and 2S2 III. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY a. Tetramers aggregate and form elongated tubes b. Polymerization occurs when Hb in deoxy form - changes shape of cell to sickle shape c. Cell can reoxygenate and revert back to normal shape for a few cycles, but after a while too much membrane damage – can no longer oxidize – starts to deform d. Components of disease: i. Vasoocclusion: sickle cells can get through vessel and build up (also build up in other structures) ii. RBCs finally burst (hemolysis) after sickling and release chemicals 1. nitric oxide – changes in vessel tone –affects ability to relax 2. damage to endothelial tissues e. Sickling enhanced by i. Hypoxia – decreases O2 availability ii. Stasis – increases o2 extraction in tissues iii. RBCs release more O2 (disease propagates itself) IV. THERAPIES a. Pain medication (morphine), hydration, oxygen (never been shown it actually helps) b. Try to relieve dactylitis c. Prophylactic antibiotics – to replace spleen's job of clearing bacterial infections i. Daily penicillin ii. Vaccines – but not good response without spleen iii. Rapid cultures and treatment for infections d. Folic acid – RBCs unstable and break down – require folic acid to make new ones e. Hydroxyurea – chemo drug f. *α-amino butyric acid (first observed in patients with diabetic mothers) - transcriptionally reactivates fetal hemoglobin – only need about 20% fetal Hb to ameliorate all complications – any amount to extend life span Dr. Nunes – Bilirubin Metabolism I. BILIRUBIN METABOLISM – see Offner notes II. HYPERBILIRUBINEMIAS a. Pre-hepatic – increased BR production – doesn't have to do with liver i. Hemolysis (incr RBC destruction) – increased production of BR 1. excess unconjugated BR 2. no BR in urine 3. increased urobilinogen (if BR makes it to liver is conjugated normally) ii. ineffective erythropoesis b. Hepatic – metabolic abnormalities i. Problems with conjugation (Gilbert's, Crigler-Najjar): 1. normal BR production but failure to conjugate increased unconj BR in blood(poss. jaundice) 2. no increase in urobilinogen 3. no BR in urine ii. Other causes of poor conjugation 1. Hepatitis – due to direct hepatic injury – viral or autoimmune 2. Drug-induced causes of liver injury 3. Cirrhosis – liver failure c. Post-hepatic i. Obstruction of bile flow: gallstones, structure of bile duct, pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer, surgical injury ii. Normal production of BR, but can't be excreted: 1. conj BR found in blood 2. incr BR excretion by kidneys (BR in blood - dark urine), 3. pale stools (no BR in stool) III. DIAGNOSING TYPE OF HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA a. Levels of BR in blood i. Excess unconjugated BR – prehepatic (just more BR) or hepatic (can't conjugate) ii. Conjugated BR – posthepatic (can't excrete via bile duct, intestines) b. Leves in urine/stools i. High urobilinogen – prehepatic (more BR being processed) ii. No urobilinogen - posthepatic iii. Dark urine =conj BR in blood – due to hepatic or post-hepatic iv. Pale stools – post-hepatic c. Levels of enzymes i. AST (cytoplasmic and mitochondrial enzyme, found in many organs) and ALT (cytoplasmic enzyme, more specific to liver) found in hepatocytes; when liver injured these enzymes can be released back into blood ii. Alkaline Phosphatase, GGT - enzymes associated with transport and excretion of BR into bile – obstruction often results in increase in levels of these enzymes Dr. Lowe, Dr. Offner – Sporadic Porphyrias I. RISK FACTOR – HEPATITIS C a. Much more common than Porphyria, mostly asymptomatic b. Causes: injection drug use, transfusions before 1992, dialysis, immigration, sexual transmission(<1%), clotting factor before1987 c. Progression of disease i. Acute Hep C – often leads to chronic Hep C, but only fraction get sick ii. Cirrhosis – then chance of liver failure or hepatocellular carcinoma d. Pathology of Cirrhosis i. Scarring in liver – fibrous bands replace healthy hepatocytes ii. Hepatocytes become hemmed in by fiber (blood supply gets cut off) = nodule iii. Treatment : weekly injections of pegylated interferon combined with antiviral – eliminated virus and liver can then heal (a liver transplant only "resets clock" iv. Alcohol is more likely to progress Hep C II. PORPHYRIA CUTANEA TARDA a. Pathophysiology: i. Due to uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase deficiency ii. Uro'gen III builds up, oxidizes to porphyrin – deposited in various areas incl. skin b. Contributors: i. Photoreactive: skin damage occurs due to sun exposure, during warm months ii. Alcohol can result in porphyria cutanea tarda (if enzyme deficiency already present) iii. Iron overload c. Clinical features i. Bullous lesions (fluid-filled) on sun-exposed areas ii. Hypertrichosis (hair above beard line) iii. Urine turns pink under fluorescent lamp d. Therapy i. Treat Hep C ii. Avoid alcohol iii. Minimize sun exposure iv. Remove iron via phlebotomy III. VARIEGATE PORPHYRIA (RARE) a. Hundreds of single base mutations can cause deficiency in proto'gen IX dehydrogenase b. Acute attacks: neurological symptoms, skin symptoms, GI symptoms, photosensitivity c. Also called i. "South African Porphyria" (incidence can be as high as 3/1000) ii. "Royal Malady" (King George - periods of bizarre behavior, nausea, abdominal pain; due to stimulation from arsenic, thought to medicate) Learning Objectives Dr. Faller- Sickle Cell Anemia 1. Why the presentation of sickle cell anemia occurs around 6-7 months of age. 2. The role of protein aggregation and underlying biochemical/genetic basis for this in sickle cell anemia. 3. The pathophysiology of sickle cell anemia. 4. Why α-amino butyric acid is a successful therapy. Dr. Nunes – Bilirubin Metabolism 1. How bilirubin is metabolized and excreted in normal physiology 2. How hyperbilirubinemias can result from pre-hepatic, hepatic and post-hepatic causes as well as the biochemical basis for each of these disorders 3. How each type of hyperbilirubinemia results in a different clinical presentation which can be distinguished by evaluating levels of conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin in blood, levels of bilirubin and urobilinogen in urine and levels of the hepatic enzymes AST/ALT and alkaline phosphatase.

Wasps will be looking to climb into the top half of the Aviva Premiership standings when they welcome London Irish to Adams Park on Saturday.
Wasps head into the meeting on the back of a dramatic late defeat against neighbours Harlequins last weekend.
The Exiles, on the other hand, sealed an impressive victory away to Saracens and they will be determined to leapfrog ninth-placed Gloucester with another win on the road.
Wasps boss Dai Young has named an unchanged team and there are just three changes on the bench, where Nathan Hughes and Charlie Davies return from injury to grab replacement spots, along with Esteban Lozada.
"London Irish will come to Adams Park on the back of a great victory at Allianz Park, while we suffered a tough one-point loss in our last outing," Young said.
"We have to bounce back on Saturday and everything in training this week has been focused on improving on last week's performance."
One Irish change
Meanwhile, Ian Humphreys replaces Fergus Mulchrone in the only London Irish change after the full-back sustained a calf injury in the win over Sarries.
Matt Parr, David Paice and Jamie Hagan make up the front-row with George Skivington again partnering Nic Rouse in the second-row.
Kieran Low and Blair Cowan will play alongside Ofisa Treviranus, who signed a new contract with the club this week, in the back-row.
Tomas O'Leary and Ian Humphreys will start at half-back with Shane Geraghty and Eamonn Sheridan in the centre.
Andrew Fenby, Alex Lewington and James O'Connor make up the back-three.
"I was very pleased with the application and courage the squad showed last weekend at Saracens," said Irish boss Brian Smith.
"We have prepared well this week and want to take this into our match. Wasps played well last weekend and will be looking to make amends against us, so we need to be ready for the challenge."
Wasps: 15 Daly, 14 Helu, 13 Masi, 12 Bell (capt), 11 Short, 10 Carlisle, 9 Simpson; 1 Mullan, 2 Festuccia, 3 Cooper-Woolley, 4 Palmer, 5 Myall, 6 Johnson, 7 Haskell, 8 Jones.
Replacements: 16 Lindsay, 17 McIntyre, 18 Swainston, 19 Lozada, 20 Hughes, 21 Davies, 22 Bell, 23 Hayter.
London Irish: 15 O'Connor, 14 Lewington, 13 Sheridan, 12 Geraghty, 11 Fenby, 10 Humphreys, 9 O'Leary; 1 Parr, 2 Paice, 3 Hagan, 4 Skivington (capt), 5 Rouse, 6 Low, 7 Cowan, 8 Treviranus.
Replacements: 16 Stevens, 17 Yapp, 18 Halavatau, 19 Sinclair, 20 Ellis, 21 Ojo, 22 Dorrian, 23 Allinson.

text: Web exclusive! One of the most compelling sports memoirs to come along in recent years, with a message for not just athletes but everyone. Price: $24.95 Four decades ago, Gale Sayers allowed his remarkable running ability on the football field to speak for him. Today, Sayers has a powerful and poignant message to pass along not only to athletes but to everyone, and it's a message straight from his heart. Sayers grew up in modest surroundings in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of a car polisher and mechanic. After fielding 75 college scholarship offers, he selected Kansas, where he became an All-American halfback before being selected in the first round of the 1965 draft by the Bears. Later, at age 34, he became the youngest man ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A knee injury in 1968 cut short his spectacular career, which included an NFL® record 6-touchdown effort against the San Francisco 49ers. The story of Sayers' friendship with former Bears teammate Brian Piccolo was immortalized in the 1971 made-for-TV movie "Brian's Song," which starred James Caan as Piccolo and Billy Dee Williams as Sayers. The loss of Brian helped Sayers put his life in proper perspective. He later realized his serious knee injury was just a minor blip on the screen when it comes to life and death matters. Since leaving pro football, his enduring message to young athletes is to respect the game, give back to the community and prepare for the future. Written by Gale Sayers with Fred Mitchell Foreword by Dick Butkus Made in the USA More

computer cabinet
Computer cabinets are fitted with doors and side panels (which may or may not be removable). Cabinets enclose a rack, which is a frame that provides a means for mounting electronic equipment. Cabinets come in a variety of styles, colors, and many contain baffles, fans, and other features.
The terms rack and cabinet are often used interchangeably, which is incorrect. The rack refers specifically to the frame that provides a means for mounting electronic equipment, while a cabinet is fitted with doors and side panels.

In dental school. I love all sports, but I'd have to say that hockey is by far my favorite! I love dogs and am really allergic to cats. I love experiencing new things and would to travel more when I get done with school! I have been across the world and it's really opened up my eyes to how much the world has to offer. I am pretty close to my crazy family and would like to find someone who is family oriented. I would like to find somebody who is alright watching movies all night or going out on the town and having some fun or even taking a spontaneous road trip somewhere. A nice smile always gets me! If you're looking for a smart, dedicated, driven guy who will show you that chivalry is not dead, then look no further! After all I need a date to go experience all Detroit has to offer and watch the Red Wings!

BLOSSOM QUEEN also had its FFO. Terrible photo of the daylily, which is very pretty, but I wanted to show you the scape:
DIANA COOKE TUPPENY with another of its many blooms. This was just planted in the Spring:
Here you go, Jean! Last blooms from CAROLINE'S CHARM:
I could have sworn I gave away or lost MAGICAL SWIRLS, but found it blooming in full shade today:
This is the third year for PINK ALOHA and the first year it has bloomed. Six buds, and this is the only bloom that opened fully. Definitely needs to move south:
HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER screams for a photo. Tall daylily with huge blooms:
And finally, another pic of TREASURE OF THE SOUTHWEST. which has never bloomed like it has this year:
I like that Sky Captain and at 50 inches tall, it certainly will be easy to see. Diana Cooke Twopenny is a pretty pink. How nice when the new ones bloom the same year.....I loved my Pink Aloha and it showed remarkable vigor for it's first year here. Unfortunately all 3 pots of it didn't survive our unusually prolonged cold weather last winter. Treasure of the SW also didn't make it, but your picture shows how pretty the color is.....A nice group you have in this post....Maryl
SKY CAPTAIN sure is a pretty one, but,I don't like them that tall. They have a way of not standing up straight. Beautiful Edging is about 4 ft tall here and its all bent over almost touching the ground,but,I put a stake and tied it up so it wouldn't be on the ground.Then last year it had a couple scapes that stood up good but was hard to get photos of it.They were taller then me.I just really don't want scapes no taller then 30 inches.
Awww, no more CAROLINE'S CHARM:. its such a beauty but,am so glad you posted its last bloom. I just got to have that one, maybe next year.Sure a shame about PINK ALOHA not doing good for you, as its so pretty, too.
MAGICAL SWIRLS, is a really pretty one, too, Love that color.
Thanks, Maryl. If you want to try Pink Aloha again, I'd be happy to send it to you.
Mantis, Treasure has always been grown in poor soil here with lots of clay, and has never bloomed so heavily. Its height is approximately 20". Other than a pretty face, I primarily look for bud count, branching and scape quality. If it increases fast, so much the better. Oh, and I don't care for the shorties at all. Or small blooms. Should I stop now?
Nice selection! Sky Captain (good name :)) is pretty! I like tall but I think 50 will be too tall for me. Love Diana Cooke! Very pretty. Too bad about Pink Aloha, it looks like a nice pink. I also like High Plains Drifter!
And envious of your rain! We really need some.
TREASURE OF THE SOUTHWEST is my favorite, fantastic color. Too bad about Pink Aloha, really nice flower.
Sky Captain is really pretty, and tall too, it will really attract attention. I didn't think I liked them too tall, but I have a seedling daylily that I really like. Huge flowers & must be close to 5 ft tall. Only 12-15 buds per scape, but the blooms are so huge I don't mind. I do wish it had a bit more color to it. Hope it is ok if I post a photo of it
Sky Captain is a very pretty bloom, and I love the bright colors in High Plains Drifter. Pink Aloha is such a pretty bloom, it is a shame it doesn't do better for you. Blossom Queen is another lovely bloom. You know, I didn't like small blooms either and still don't in general, but Black Fathom Depths is one of my favorite blooms. It has the smallest blooms on any of my plants, but it will never leave my garden by my choice. Funny how that happened.
