Similar to what we saw from Madfinger games around Halloween, the company has announced their Dead Trigger Christmas update. This update is already live in Google Play and includes new game play, new weapons and deals on weapons as well as the opportunity to win a Dead Trigger t-shirt.
And as we like to see, this update also came with some tweaks and bug fixes. The tweak deals with the mini-mortar which is said to have been improved and made "more deadly." The bug fix dealt with memory optimizations, specifically for lower-end devices. Also worth noting, the Dead Trigger game was, and remains available for free.
With those smaller items out of the way, lets get into the Christmas update. Those looking for weapons can take advantage of the new special prices and those looking to get that shirt, you will have to solve the underground puzzle. Otherwise, the changelog for this update also notes a new weapon, a grenade launcher, as well as new story missions, an encounter with a new Christmas boss called Zanta and a new North Pole Christmas Arena.
All said and done, it looks like Madfinger has released this update in perfect time. After all, come this time next week we suspect more than a few of you will have some days off for the holiday and what better way to waste some time then battling some zombies.

This paper reports on a study that investigated consumer use of e-services in a multichannel context. To develop a deeper understanding of what makes consumers decide to use the online channel, and contrary to most HCI studies on the use of e-services that focus on the use of the online channel in relative isolation, this study examined consumer channel-choice beyond the instances of internet use. The consumption behaviour of its participants was investigated across channels in an in-depth qualitative study. The analysis of the elicited rich data focused specifically on the investigation of voluntary consumer movements between online and offline channels during the course of a consumption process. The results indicate that participants often use multiple channels in parallel and frequently switch between channels. Literature from marketing and consumer research was used as the perspective to explore the rationale for the complex and dynamic reported consumer behaviour.

Federal investigators were never instructed to "de-power" the Chevrolet Volt's battery following crash-testing, an omission that contributed to a pair of fires. "When electrical energy is left in a battery, it is similar to leaving gasoline in a fuel tank that has been damaged," Mary Barra, senior vice president-global product development, says today in a conference call with journalists. "It is important to drain that energy so it does not cause any type of risk, especially for fire." ...

1 Do not put your confidence in your money or say, 'With this I am self-sufficient.'
2 Do not be led by your appetites and energy to follow the passions of your heart.
3 And do not say, 'Who has authority over me?' for the Lord will certainly give you your deserts.
4 Do not say, 'I have sinned, but what harm has befallen me?' for the Lord's forbearance is long.
5 Do not be so sure of forgiveness that you add sin to sin.
6 And do not say, 'His compassion is great, he will forgive me my many sins'; for with him are both mercy and retribution, and his anger does not pass from sinners.
7 Do not delay your return to the Lord, do not put it off day after day; for suddenly the Lord's wrath will blaze out, and on the day of punishment you will be utterly destroyed.
8 Do not set your heart on ill-gotten gains, they will be of no use to you on the day of disaster.
9 Do not winnow in every wind, or walk along every by-way (as the double-talking sinner does).
10 Be steady in your convictions, and be a person of your word.
11 Be quick to listen, and deliberate in giving an answer.
12 If you understand the matter, give your neighbour an answer, if not, keep your hand over your mouth.
13 Both honour and disgrace come from talking, the tongue is its owner's downfall.
14 Do not get a name for scandal-mongering, do not set traps with your tongue; for as shame lies in store for the thief, so harsh condemnation awaits the deceitful.
15 Avoid offences in great as in small matters, and do not exchange friendship for enmity,

More Daily ReadingsThe New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.
Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

Well that was interesting...
99.999% sure it meant nothing, just a little...weird.
I just moved out to a low crime area in VA in a quiet, older neighborhood. My cell rings, had to walk outside in the dark to get a signal. Talking with my friend on the phone, someone rolls up in my court in an Acura with bling 20's driving slow, stopping in front of the house. Obviously he was looking for an address or something, but the out-of-place car driving REAL slow put up a caution flag... I handed the phone to my roommate who was outside smoking, and we gradually found a little cover next to the house. My CZ was on me as usual. The guy(s) pulled in to a house 3 doors down and parked, but it still gave me a little adrenalin nudge. |

I don't know that the car is out of place anymore.
I live in what I like to call my hillbilly hick town. Last week I saw a car like that with the boom blasting. The driver had a Realtree hat on and was spitting tobacco juice out the window. MTV has made the world real small and real weird

I wouldn't think much of it. So a guy from out of town is coming to stay the weekend with grandma. Big deal. See if it is still there in the morning.

JOAB, I call that the power of the P..... force. The dude loves hunting, fishing, chewing and guzzeling beers but they listen to that music because that is what the hot girls at school like.
If it wasn't for that, there is no way someone could actually like that music while enjoying such things as hunting..... is there? I can't see it anyway. |

I think you may have run across one of the nuicance species here in suburban Virginia... the wannabee, not to be confused with the Australian wallabee. I am shocked you haven't seen them before.
I am pushing to have them added to the list of official nuicance species, along with the feral hog, rock dove, nutria, coyote, and Norway rat so they can be hunted all year long in the Commonwealth. Cheers, Apple

I'm from an area of PA with a high Puerto Rican community, I think alot of them are moving up from Philly and down from NYC. 15 years ago, I used to fish and goto the public range on a regular basis, and the vast majority of the people I'd see at both locations were your stereotypical white outdoorsman.
Nowadays, after a long absence, I'm doing both these things again. I see more of the Hispanics down at the local creek fishing in their sharp clothes with only the addition of a vest, or at the range zeroing in their inline BP rifles. Its a big change from what it used to be, and you know.. I think its pretty nice that these folks can get out and enjoy nature like anyone else, even if they do sometimes roll up to the range in their Escaladesc or the bling around their neck is shinier than the lures they toss into the creek. Who cares? Its another person out enjoying nature, and after moving out of their cities, they have a chance to finally do these things.

The only real time I grew concerned with such a thing was when they stopped next door at my mother in law's house after driving past it slowly, cutting the engine or light and just sitting there for 5 minutes looking at the house. That is very unusual for where I live down a dead end that sees little traffic at all, but a good digital camera photo and they soon drove off when they saw the shotgun. The only reason for the concern was other houses in the area have been being targetted, including my other next door neighbours (even if we all know who did it and it looked a tad like his car).

Just curious how you guys see this.
If you listen to rap and are not a gansta, are you a wanna be? If yes then; If you watch a movie about a murderer or rapist does that mean you want to be a murdered or rapist? I listen to many different kinds of music, its entertainment, I think its funny how some people try to put others down because of their preference in style or entertainment. Now if you dress like a gangsta, talk like a gangsta, act like a gansta, but you're afraid to do gansta sh*t, then you are a wanna be. |

You did the right thing man. Hey "profiling"? Who cares. I grew up in almost every neighborhood in STL, and I always check my six. I forgot about a month ago, was waiting to order a burger at a drive through, and a bum (yep bum, not "economically challenged") came up right to my door post without me seeing him to ask me for a handout.

VHS pet project sets tails a-waggin'
Annual Fido Walk & Fun Fest
Dozens of dogs of all breeds — and lack thereof — slurped, sniffed, strutted and otherwise enjoyed themselves at Saturday's Fido Walk & Fun Fest on the Vanderburgh Humane Society campus in Evansville.
Terry Blake probably had the only two who were born deaf.
"English setters. Aren't they gorgeous?"
Blake trained them with hand signals and body language.
"You talk about a challenge. But they're great with kids and gentle as can be.
"They're both rescued animals. Ozzie came from Kansas. Doo-Dah was a Purina Puppy in St. Louis and they didn't want to work with a deaf dog."
There were pet-related vendors, dog shows, an off-leash park, contests for agility and prizes for top VHS fundraisers.
Kim Ayers dressed the family's two golden retrievers as cheerleaders, complete with skirt and fake hands.
"Lucky and Chloe are so nice they'll let you put anything on them."
Kendall Paul, director of the Vanderburgh Humane Society, said this is the fifth year for the Fido Walk & Fun Fest.
"The event serves two purposes. It promotes the human-animal bond so family members can get together, and it makes people aware of our organization. It takes lots of donations for us to do what we want to do." Paul hopes Saturday's event will raise $15,000.
"We have a spay and neuter clinic. We have a staff person who goes to schools. We have pet therapy programs at 20 nursing homes."
One service that often goes unnoticed is the assistance the Humane Society provides to battered women.
"Lots of times women won't leave an abusive situation when there's a pet at home. The man probably treats both badly. He might say, 'If you leave me, I'll kill your dog.' We had a woman in the emergency room with a bloody face, and she was ready to go back to that same environment because she was worried about her dog.
"That's where we step in with what we call our Safe Pet Program. We hold the animal at no charge until the woman gets back on her feet."
Raschel Deters was in attendance to promote her Pampered Pet Nanny Service.
"I do pet-sitting in other people's homes for 15 minutes or an hour or whatever. What makes me different is that I arrange for a limited number of dogs to stay days and nights in my house."
She just started her business this year.
"I absolutely love dogs. This is something I had to try," Deters said.

An investigation is underway after a North Miami Police officer shot and killed a mentally handicapped man who was carrying a toy rifle.
Police were called on Wednesday when neighbors saw the man, identified as 56-year-old Ernest Vasell, wandering a neighborhood with what appeared to be a rifle, according to CBS Miami. When officers arrived on the scene after frantic 911 calls, there was a confrontation, shots were fired and Vasell was killed.
Subsequently police have stated the rifle was in fact a toy and at least one officer is on paid administrative leave.
Vassell's family has said he was mentally disabled after a childhood brain injury, and had no history of violence. His family is now demanding answers. Claire Harding, Vassell's older sister, said to CBS Miami:
"They should train these police officers better, this is ridiculous, they just go around killing people for nothing."
Watch the full story from CBS Miami, during which one newscaster explained "Police say they were forced to fire because a man was terrorizing the neighborhood."

COLUMBIA — We've all seen it. A Major League starter goes six to seven innings, then goes to the dugout with an ice bag Saran-wrapped to his shoulder as another pitcher takes the mound. Four days later, the process begins again.
Valerie Teter, a junior pitcher on the Columbia College softball team, doesn't get the ice bag after going seven innings.
She goes another seven innings.
"I've been doing it all my life," Teter said. "I've had to go three to five games when the championship was on a certain day."
Teter has been an integral part of the Cougars' success this season. Needing a doubleheader sweep last week against McKendree to claim a share of the American Midwest Conference regular season title, the Cougars relied on Teter.
She struck out 14 in the first game, allowing just one run in a seven-inning complete game. Then in the second game, even though by most standards, fatigue should have caused her to give up a few more runs, she pitched a seven-inning shutout, striking out 10.
The victories tied Columbia College with Williams Baptist at 12-4 and helped earn the Cougars (30-17) the No. 1 seed in this weekend's AMC tournament. The Cougars start play Friday in a best-of-three series against Missouri Baptist at Columbia College. Game time will be determined by coaches' decisions about the chance of rain.
Although the possibility of her going only one game is there, Teter has come to expect to take the mound for the second. Teter will pitch one game, then she has about 20 minutes to rest before the next game begins.
"In my mind, I already know I'm going to pitch that second game," she said. "I just relax between innings and games and just try not to think about it until I go out to warm up again."
Besides the McKendree sweep, Teter has pitched back-to-back in doubleheaders against Williams Baptist, William Woods and Missouri Baptist.
"She's the only pitcher on our roster that does that," Cougars head coach Wendy Spratt said. "It really sets the momentum when she pitches like that. She doesn't like to have runners on base. She's bound and determined to get them out."
Sometimes pitching back-to-back games can give Teter an advantage.
"Most of the time, I'm more relaxed for the second game because I've already seen what the hitters can do," she said. "The hitters know what I can do, but I have the same advantage on them. I'll talk to my catcher and see what's working and what I need to polish up a bit and go from there. It's just all a mind game."
Cougars assistant coach Tyler Stark said the team doesn't have to worry too much about wearing out its ace.
"A softball pitcher's movement is more of a natural movement than the overhead throw like baseball pitchers," he said. "You're able to ride your No. 1 pitcher. It's just easier to do in softball."
It has worked well this season. Teter leads the AMC in wins, innings pitched per game, and is second behind Williams Baptist's Kim Emmons in earned run average, though Teter has pitched in nine more games than Emmons. Teter's 23-6 record and 299 strikeouts are second in the NAIA.
In her eight back-to-back games, Teter has pitched complete games, giving up just 10 earned runs while striking out 76 batters. Only once did Teter give up more than two earned runs in a game. The success has come from hard work.
"Her drive is unlike anything I've ever seen," Stark said. "You don't have to ask her to put in the extra work. She never gets enough. She'll ask to throw 25 more pitches after her workout, or she'll say, 'Oh, let's work on this pitch a little bit more.' She just puts in more work than anybody else."
Teter had to put in a lot of extra work after breaking her ankle her sophomore season.
"All summer she just worked her way back ... she knows everything she does makes her better," Spratt said.
Though she's known for her pitching, Teter will step up to the plate as a batter, as well. But honestly, she likes things from the other side.
"I like to be in control of the game and the action," Teter said. "I like to be there every pitch."
"It's almost intimidating for the other teams to see her on the mound," Spratt said. "She knows what to do, and it definitely sets the tone for the game."

Yamaha Outdoors Tip of the Week - Duck Blind Etiquette
By Steve Hickoff
As regular waterfowl seasons wind down around the country, a refresher course in duck blind etiquette might be in order.
TAKE TURNS: You've killed the first duck of the morning, but your blind buddies have yet to drop one. Let them take the next shot at cupped and committed birds.
DON'T BE GREEDY: You've dropped a good number of birds, but short of the day's limit. Unload your shotgun. Sit back. Enjoy the gravy time as your buds hunt.
IT'S ALL GOOD: It's closing time. A sunrise full of ducks and geese moving from roost sites to feeding locations is something to behold. Enjoy it.
KEEP QUIET: Whatever you do, don't offer a command to a gun dog owned and handled by another guy in the blind. If he asks you to, well that's different. It's just bad form to give another waterfowler's canine orders.
HEAP PRAISE: If your bud makes a great shot on a tough bird, tell him. We're never too old to hear praise about our sometimes shaky shooting skills.
SHOOT SAFELY: Whatever you do, safety now is as important as when you started the season. Never swing a shotgun's muzzle past a blind bud, even if it's unloaded. Double-check your firearm's safety on a regular basis.
DOGS TOO: Watch that canine and his direction when gunning near a dog making a retrieve on a downed duck or goose — especially as other birds are working into the spread post-shot. Shoot safely.
HELP OUT: Do your share: stake fakes and later collect decoys. Haul gear for everyone. This is teamwork, man. Help load the trailer pulled by your Yamaha ATV or Side-by-Side.
COOK IT ALL: When preparing wildfowl, make it a point to use the whole duck or goose if you can. Breast meat is favored by many (and delicious), but cooking the legs for various dishes like soups and stews is also an option, as is parboiling the rest of the bird for meat to pick.
CAPTURE IT: Start shooting more photographs if you haven't yet this season. The pressure to kill birds is off, and chronicling your time afield for personal reasons should be included in your hunts. In future times, you'll often care as much about the guys in the photos as the ducks and geese. Save those memories now as the seasons conclude.

Two Westchester Town Police
State Attorney General Spitzer today announced a lawsuit against two local police officers in connection with making fraudulent filings for retirement benefits.
The lawsuit, filed in State Supreme Court in Westchester County, names as defendants Dennis Mahoney, a former police officer in the Town of New Castle, and John Vize, currently a lieutenant in the town police department.
An investigation by the Attorney General' office found that Officer Mahoney, with the assistance of Lieutenant Vize, falsely represented to the State Comptroller's Office that Mahoney had completed 20 years of service as a police officer, thereby allowing him to retire early and receive his full pension benefits. In fact, Mahoney worked for only 19 years instead of the required 20.
For Mahoney's purported last year of service, Vize assigned work shifts to Mahoney, but Mahoney did not work any of them. Instead, Mahoney and Vize arranged for other police officers to work in Mahoney's place. Mahoney continued to earn credit in the state pension system during the year that he did not work.
The Attorney General thanked the State Comptroller's Division of Investigations and Division of Retirement for their assistance on the investigation.
This case is being handled by Assistant Attorney General Monica J. Stamm under the supervision of Carrie H. Cohen, Chief of the Public Integrity Unit. Investigator Ismael Hernandez assisted with the investigation.

Asked to describe herself Sarah responds "I believe that I am a very honest, sincere and charismatic person. My special characteristics and traits would be my passion, commitment and energy I apply to anything I undertake to do.

When out for a day sail, sometimes I wear it, sometimes I don't. When racing, I wear my team shirt, but when out for a cruise, I like to wear bright orange or hot pink or something really highly visible as well. If I go overboard, I want to be seen.
New York State has some kind of requirement regarding life vests for all on board certain boats during colder weather that I read about recently, but offhand I don't recall what it is.
Hey Soft - welcome to SN dude. Your sig is hilarious.
As for the answer to the OP - since our lake is very sheltered, we adults rarely wear PFDs. The kids wear them any time they are out of the cabin.
But just today, I made a dumb decision. It was only blowing 10-12. Pretty mellow conditions. I was going to go forward to unpack the genny. I grabbed a vest, but then thought, "Ahh - I'll be fine." Threw it back into the cockpit and went forward.
Sure enough - I was fine. BUT I still should have worn the vest on the deck. I mean really. It's always when you think everything will be fine that an overweight goose falls out of the sky, beans you on the head, and knocks you overboard. Trust me. I know.

Songs For the Young At Heart
Like the films of Guillermo del Toro and the stories of Roald Dahl, Songs For the Young At Heart is whimsical and magical while being poignant and oh-so-slightly sinister. When I was a kid, Puff the Magic Dragon used to make me so sad but that made me love it more! It's a reminder of what childhood is and was - that purity and innocence - but with an edge, so it works for you, your parents and your kids.

Even if you didn't watch the season finale of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" on Sunday, you might have seen the tweets and blog posts reacting to the video (see below) of Kourtney Kardashian reaching down to catch her baby as she is born.
While reactions ranged from "TMI" to "gross" to tears of joy, the practice of having someone other than the doctor or midwife guide the baby into the world isn't all that uncommon.
In the video, Khloe says, "Kourtney just loves pulling out her own children. She decides to pull Nelly out, as well. Go for it, sister. Do your thing." And Kourtney herself said it felt good, when asked afterward.
The practice of dads catching babies has been common at home births, and is gaining popularity in hospitals — the new equivalent, one doula suggests, of cutting the umbilical cord: "Many dads and partners really enjoy this special moment," Robin Elise Weiss explains on About.com. "They talk about being the first one to touch the baby from the outside world and of being a true part of the experience. I love to watch dads and others beam from ear to ear when they talk about it."
Some parents include their hopes for who will catch the baby in their birth plans; some prefer the first person who touches their baby to be a parent.
Women who have water births frequently catch their own babies. Many who have done it talk of it feeling like the right thing to do in the moment.
Laura Shanley wrote about her experience of catching her own baby after her husband caught their first child: "In that birth I felt compelled to deliver on my hands and knees. I had no impulse to catch the baby myself and physiologically it would have been difficult. In subsequent labors, however, I chose to give birth into my own hands simply because it felt like the right thing to do (the fact that I was alone at the time might have contributed to that decision!). If I were to have another child, I wouldn't insist on catching the baby myself. I don't present "self-delivery" as some sort of ideal to strive for. But I think it's important for women to know that should they decide to catch their own babies, they're more than capable of doing it."
Historically, she points out, it's nothing new: in many societies, women birthed their babies with no assistance at all.

The Future of Old-Age Longevity: Competitive Pricing of Mortality Contingent ClaimsCharles MullinVanderbilt University - College of Arts and Science - Department of Economics Tomas PhilipsonUniversity of Chicago; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Undated Abstract: The future course of old-age mortality is of great importance to public sector expenditures in countries where old-age programs, such as Social Security and Medicare in the US, account for large fractions of the public budget. This paper argues that the competitive market prices of mortality contingent claims, such as annuities and life-insurance, contain information which allow one to infer the opinion of the market regarding the pace of the continued increase in old-age longevity. The paper develops methods to identify and estimate the mortality implicit in the market prices of such claims by identifying survival functions from prices of contracts that differ in their duration. Utilizing these methods, we provide estimates using cohort-specific prices of US term life insurance contracts in 1990-96 for individuals aged 60 in each calendar year. Our main finding is that the mortality patterns inferred from these prices indicate a continued decline in cohort-specific mortality at rates equal to or greater than recent historical trends; about a 5 percent reduction in relative terms in the mortality hazards per successive cohort.

Rep. Gary Miller on Thursday shared the concerns of Chino Hills residents with federal housing officials over the installation of 200-foot electrical towers in the city.
For the first time, Miller, R-Brea, met with Housing and Urban Development as well as Federal Housing Administration officials in Washington, D.C.
Decreasing home values and similar property-related losses are some of several issues residents have expressed with the installation of the towers in their neighborhoods. For example, resident Joanne Genis said her home has taken a 17 percent hit since the towers have gone up.
The transmission poles and towers are being installed within Southern California Edison's right-of-way from Chino Hills' western border near Tonner Canyon, through the city and eventually into Riverside County.
"With the housing market continuing to struggle to recover from the drastic drop in home prices following the mortgage crisis, residents are rightfully concerned about any further decline in the value of their homes as a result of the construction of the power lines," Miller said.
The towers are part of the $2.1 billion Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project, which is part of a state mandate to generate more sustainable energy. The Tehachapi project is slated to be completed in 2015.
Miller said he met with the housing officials to help Chino Hills residents make their case against the installation of the towers by Southern California Edison.
"I'm extremely happy that Congressman Miller, along with (Rep. Ed) Royce, both now have an active interest in what's happening in our community, and by looking at the FHA loans, I think that can have a tremendous financial detriment to our residents," Chino Hills Councilman Ed Graham said.
In November, Royce, R-Orange, called for a Congressional hearing on the impact on neighborhood home values and the ability of homeowners and buyers to obtain loans in the project area.
Royce and Miller are expected to run against each other in 2012 for the newly drawn District 39 seat in the House of Representatives.
The two long-time lawmakers agree the installation of the towers was rushed and have left residents to deal with the consequences.
Construction of the towers started in October 2010. The work was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission in 2009.
Miller met with HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan and FHA Commissioner Carol Galante.
"I am pleased that the secretary has agreed to send high-level FHA officials to meet with homeowners to address and clarify these concerns," Miller said.
"Chino Hills' residents need answers to these questions in order to hold Sacramento accountable for the harm they have caused."
Chino Hills officials and residents have been battling the project for four years arguing the easements in the city are too narrow for the expanded power corridor.
The battle has cost the city more than $2.4 million.
Edison officials said they understand residents don't like transmission lines next to their backyards. However, this transmission line is being built to satisfy the state's 33 percent renewable requirement for the benefit of all customers in the Golden State, Edison spokesman Paul Klein said.
"If a decision is made to move the lines from our existing right-of-way in Chino Hills, the cost will be borne by all customers," Klein said.
"This project was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission and the Chino Hills route was selected after extensive study, hearings, meetings and considerable input from the community."
Genis said an investigation of project needs to be completed.
"There are a lot of mortgage crisis that is going on now and this adds on to the mortgage crisis, which creates more of a decline," said Genis, who is a founding member of Hope for the Hills, a grassroots effort opposing the towers.
"Let's clarify this, let's get this investigated and let's see how this is going to truly affect the residents of Chino Hills."

- Abstract:
- The paper shows that in the presence of network externalities, consumers adopt conventional technologies too early; the waiting option for a newly emerging technology is not exercised enough. This problem is aggravated when the new technology is provided by a single producer with market power because any positive value created via waiting by current consumers will be ex post appropriated by the monopolist. Therefore, the monopolist's power to extract surplus operates against his own interests in this dynamic setting. The paper also shows how the producer of a new technology can partially overcome the problem of too little waiting by using licensing as a commitment device.

| AbstractIn recent decades, the control of cortisol metabolism within tissues by the 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11 β-HSD) enzyme system has been studied in detail, however there is limited data regarding the effect of this enzyme system on skeletal muscle. The results of this thesis show that 11 β-HSD1 is biologically active in skeletal muscle.

Today was a historic day for the gay-rights movement! AMSA applauds the decision announced by the Supreme Court of the United States holding (5-4) the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional.
"Today was historic in the gay-rights movement and AMSA commends the DOMA ruling as a significant step toward eliminating disparities for same-sex partners," says Dr. Nida Degesys, AMSA national president. "Now, more than ever, we need to keep advocating for equal rights. As the nation's next generation of physicians, we must stand up for our patients. Marriage equality is a public health issue and we want an equal and just healthcare system for all."
DOMA includes a federal definition of marriage that fails to encompass all forms of legal partnership. Equal protection under the law necessitates that all individuals, including same-sex couples, are eligible for all benefits afforded to legally married couples. According to today's ruling, DOMA is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment.
In Hollingsworth vs. Perry, the Supreme Court did not rule on the constitutionality of California's law prohibiting same-sex marriage, or "Prop 8", and sent the appeal back to the lower court with instructions ...

Same sex marriage DOMA
April 3, 2013 Dear Dr. Carson, Thank you for your recent keynote address at the 2013 American Medical Student Association (AMSA) Annual Convention & Exposition. We appreciate you sharing your inspiring story and words of wisdom with our community of physicians-in-training. On behalf of AMSA, we would like to express our concern regarding your recent public statements concerning same-sex marriage. On March 26, on Sean Hannity's Fox News program, you compared gay relationships with pedophilia and bestiality: "Well, my thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It's a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality. It doesn't matter what they are. They don't get to change the definition." We retain the highest respect for your achievements and value your right to publicly voice your political views. Nevertheless, we feel that these expressed values are potentially harmful to patients and incongruous with the values of the American Medical Student Association. AMSA, along with many other national organizations, believes equal access to the institution of marriage is a public health issue. The American Medical Association,# the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association,# the American Psychiatric ...

Same sex marriage Annual Convention
As the Supreme Court of the United States heard oral arguments this week in two marriage equality cases, Hollingsworth v. Perry and Windsor v. United States, the American Medical Student Association reiterates its longstanding support of marriage equality for same sex couples. "The institution of marriage should be extended to any two individuals who love each other, period." says Dr. Elizabeth Wiley, national president of AMSA-USA. "As the nation's next generation of physicians, we must stand up for our patients. Marriage equality is a public health issue." Discriminatory policies and social practices are likely to perpetuate stigmatisation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, resulting in negative health effects. According to a study done at Emory University, states' constitutional bans on gay marriage escalate new HIV infections at a rate comparable to four cases per 100,000 people. This comes as there is growing support internationally among medical students for marriage equality. Earlier this month in Baltimore, the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA) General Assembly announced its support for marriage equality worldwide . This month, more than 1,000 medical students from across the globe gathered in Baltimore for the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA) March Meeting. ...
Same sex marriage SCOTUS
AMSA (that's us!) has joined AMSA (that's the Australian Medical Students' Association) and signed on to their draft policy statement which was submitted to the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA), calling on governments worldwide to legalize same-sex marriage. The Australian Medical Students' Association President Mr. Ben Veness said, "We reject discrimination based on gender and sexuality in all its forms. Legislation marginalising lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) individuals contributes to their increased mental health risks. LGBTI individuals are more likely to attempt suicide and have an increased risk of depression, anxiety disorders and drug addictions. There are no health arguments in favour of defining marriage as a legal union solely between a man and a woman. As medical students, we want to see every individual have the best opportunity for good health. Marriage equality will help achieve this." The Australian medical students will be traveling to Baltimore, Maryland, next month to present their policy at the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations General Assembly.

Carl Streed Baltimore MD AMSA National LGBT Policy Coordinator
Earlier today, President Obama said, "I think same-sex couples should be able to get married." These words follow a impatient wait for the President to "evolve," but a wait well worth the significant impact for same-sex couples in the United States. After Vice-President Biden's remarks, many feared that the White House would distance itself from the issue in preparation for the upcoming national election; and there was some movement away from the vice-president's statements. But today, following the disappointment in North Carolina and Colorado, the President has finally aligned himself with the beliefs and wishes of millions of Americans. Why does the American Medical Student Association care about a political and social issue some would argue is removed from health care, from the clinic, from medical education? AMSA cares about marriage equality because it affects the lives of our patients, it affects the well-being of our communities. Without federal marriage equality, same-sex couples are less likely to have employer-sponsored dependent coverage, ("exclusion [...] from civil marriage and the failure of domestic partnership benefits to provide insurance parity contribute to unequal access to health coverage"), ...

Download the digital versions of our latest golf guides and start planning your perfect golf trips in Scotland
Watch this video and discover some of East Lothian's top golfing spots. Video by Gary Eunson.
Not only is Scotland The Home of Golf, it is also the birthplace of the sport's most prestigious tournament, the Open Championship, which began in Ayrshire in 1860.
On a windy Wednesday morning in 1860, eight sportsmen stepped out onto the greens at Prestwick in what was the start of professional golf as we know it today. Did you know though that not only was Prestwick the host of the first Open Championship, but it was also the location of the first known hole-in-one by 'Young' Tom Morris in 1868?
Start your golfing adventure by discovering the current Open Championship courses at Trump Turnberry, host to the 2015 RICOH Women's British Open, and Royal Troon, located within a few miles of each other. The Open Championship returned to Ayrshire & Arran in 2009, cementing its reputation for stunning, world-class golf courses and its importance in golfing heritage, and will be back again in 2016 at Royal Troon.
While the remaining courses in Ayrshire & Arran may not share the same international limelight as the 'Big Three', they are an absolute joy for those who seek them out. Whether you're looking for links, heathland, parkland or moorland, there are courses to suit every ability and budget, including hidden gems like the two Gailes courses, Glasgow and Western, the 27-hole Kilmarnock Barassie or Dundonald.
Experience some high quality island golf, such as Millport, a course founded in 1888 on the picturesque Isle of Cumbrae. Designed by James Braid, the architect of some of Scotland's greatest courses, the panoramic views over the links of Ailsa Craig, the Isles of Bute and Arran and the Cowal peninsula are unparalleled. The nearby Isle of Arran boasts seven courses across the island, including the 12-hole Shiskine course, ranked among the top 100 courses in the UK.
Take a look at the Ayrshire & Arran golf guide and browse some golfing itineraries to find out more about the courses. For excellent value for money, get an Arran Golf Pass which is valid for a whole year for all seven of the island courses. Check out the Ayrshire Open Qualifier Card for access to three of the Open Championship qualifying venues or the South Ayrshire Golf Pass which permits six rounds on eight courses over seven consecutive days.
When booking your accommodation remember to look out for the Golfers Welcome scheme. They accredit accommodation providers that offer dedicated golf facilities like secure club storage, weather updates and details of local golf suppliers.Golf Courses

While the Patriots certainly are not as bad as they have appeared in preseason, it seems just as certain that they are nowhere near as good as they were last year. It seems that BB is aware of the glaring weaknesses he has on the offensive line and in the defensive backfield and that he used preseason to experiment and give new players and back ups as much exposure and experience as possible. What did he learn? First, that he does not have a reliable back up to Brady. Second, that the O line is porous with no spare parts, third, that he does not have a number one cover at corner (Wheatley might become one or he might not). the main thing is that every team they played in preseason put a heavy rush on the QB and the line could not block them. the running game could not get started and they cannot throw downfield under such pressure. This a bad omen because every team they play this season will employ the same tactic until they block it or make the defense pay where they will be vulnerable. Kansas City lacks the personnel to threraten the Patriots in this way but do not bet against the Jets who can put on a big rush. It also looks like opposing teams can throw in front of the Patriot DB's all day. I hope I am wrong but this could be a long season--or a short one (no playoffs)!

The Chiefs are the youngest or second youngest team in the league. I believe the Pats need to beat them with little effort to build confidence and just get the bad taste of practice games out of their mouths. -

Since the discovery of the differentiating activity of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), the treatment of this disease has greatly improved. Currently, the combination of ATRA and chemotherapy is considered the best treatment for patients with APL. This approach has consistently extended the remission rate and disease-free survival of APL patients with low mortality. Among ATRA's adverse effects, the retinoic acid syndrome is the most important. It consists of fever, dyspnea, weight gain, pulmonary infiltrates and pleural and cardiac effusions. Other findings occasionally described are lower extremities edema and leukocytosis. We report a case of an retinoic acid syndrome associated with cardiac tamponade due to massive pericardial effusion. This adverse effect, not previously reported, was successfully treated by performing pericardiocentesis followed by the administration of dexamethasone. |
