Drawing Water State Engineer Grants Some of Agency's Request
By Henry Brean
By HENRY BREAN
Their proposed pipeline might be half-empty so far, but Southern Nevada Water Authority officials prefer to see it as half-full.
Deputy General Manager Kay Brothers said she is generally pleased by a ruling Wednesday that grants the authority a little more than half of the groundwater it sought from three valleys in central Lincoln County.
The order issued by State Engineer Tracy Taylor clears the way for the authority to pump more than 6 billion gallons of groundwater a year from Cave, Delamar and Dry Lake valleys. When stretched through reuse, the water could supply almost 64,000 homes.
The authority wanted to pipe more than 11 billion gallons a year from the three valleys as part of its groundwater exportation project targeting parts of rural Clark, Lincoln and White Pine counties.
"We thought more water was available, but we know the state engineer is conservative and we respect that," Brothers said.
Taylor's ruling mirrors a previous decision that gave the authority only a part of the water it was seeking from White Pine County's Spring Valley. In that order, issued last year, the state's top water regulator approved 13 billion gallons a year out of a request for almost 30 billion. But Taylor agreed to let the authority take an additional 6.5 billion gallons annually if a decade of pumping proves the water is available.
Brothers said the authority's resource plan for the next 50 years was built on the assumption that the agency would not get all the groundwater it applied for in eastern Nevada.
"Our planning horizon has always looked at a range, and what we've seen so far is in that range," she said.
By as early as 2013, the authority hopes to start delivering rural groundwater to the Las Vegas Valley through a pipeline that is expected to stretch more than 250 miles and cost between $2 billion and $3.5 billion.
Authority officials see the project as a way to supply water for growth in the Las Vegas Valley and insulate the community from drought on the Colorado River, which provides 90 percent of the valley's drinking water.
Critics argue that large-scale groundwater pumping in the arid valleys of eastern Nevada threatens the region's wildlife and the livelihoods of its ranchers and farmers.
Wednesday's ruling drew a tepid response from those most opposed to the project.
"We think the decision was sort of a mixed bag," said Simeon Herskovits, a New Mexico-based attorney representing stakeholders who have protested the authority's plans to the state.
Herskovits said Taylor agreed with some of the concerns raised by the opposition and "didn't bite" on some of the authority's more speculative arguments. But, he said, the state engineer failed to address the long-term problems with pumping so much water, though the authority is "locking it in as a permanent supply."
"There are some things to be pleased about" in the ruling, Herskovits said, "but overall, we are concerned that the outcome was too much water permitted to the Southern Nevada Water Authority."
For Lincoln County resident Farrel Lytle, the issue is personal. He said he comes from a family that has been running cattle in Dry Lake Valley since the 1870s, "so, yeah, we have a long-term interest over there."
His cousin Kenneth Lytle and several other ranchers still use the valley for livestock grazing.
"That's their winter range," Farrel Lytle said. "They can see their wells running dry, and they're out of business."
Of particular concern to him is the figure Taylor came up with for the amount of water that flows into the valley each year through precipitation, in-flow from neighboring basins and other sources. Lytle said Taylor's perennial yield estimate of 12,700 acre-feet, about 41 billion gallons, seems far too high.
"It's called Dry Lake Valley for a reason," he said. "There aren't any alfalfa circles out there."
Of the 6.1 billion gallons a year Taylor granted to the authority Wednesday, 3.8 billion will come from Dry Lake Valley, 1.5 billion from Cave Valley and 800 million from Delamar Valley.
Brothers said the groundwater from Delamar Valley, about 90 miles north of Las Vegas, will be part of the first to arrive as the pipeline network is built from south to north.
Under Taylor's order, the authority will be required to develop a monitoring and mitigation program and to collect data for at least two years before exporting any water from the three valleys.
With the Lincoln County basins out of the way, the one piece of the pipeline puzzle that remains is Snake Valley, a White Pine County watershed that straddles the Nevada-Utah border.
The authority has applied to take as much as 16 billion gallons of water a year from the valley, which is home to Great Basin National Park and some of the pipeline project's most outspoken critics.
Taylor will hold a planning session in Carson City next week to set the ground rules for a hearing on Snake Valley. The hearing is expected to take place early next year.
Opponents are weighing a court challenge of Wednesday's ruling. Herskovits said it is too soon to predict whether they will go that route.
"I've read it once so far," he said of the 40-page document. "I'd like to read it two or three more times."
Even if the ruling goes unchallenged, the pipeline project still could wind up in federal court. Environmental reviews are under way that could trigger lawsuits from ranchers and conservation groups, Herskovits said.
On the front
Matt Pickering moves a sprinkler system on a ranch owned by the Southern Nevada Water Authority in White Pine County's Spring Valley. The authority plans to build a pipeline to tap water in Spring Valley and in three Lincoln County basins, from which it was granted water Wednesday.
Water ruling
Nevada's chief water regulator has cleared the Southern Nevada Water Authority to draw 6.1 billion gallons of groundwater a year from three valleys in Lincoln County. The authority wanted nearly twice that amount.

Regulating the conduct of urban warfare: lessons from contemporary asymmetric armed conflicts
30-06-2010 Article, International Review of the Red Cross, No. 878, by Michael John-Hopkins
A survey of contemporary armed conflicts indicates that major military powers are increasingly facing militarily weaker adversaries and being drawn into unconventional engagements in cities. It is submitted that higher standards of reasonableness be imposed upon military commanders, and furthermore that civilian populations be spared more effectively from the effects of urban warfare by applying customary law.

On Thurs., May 15, Joe DeLong, West Virginia Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Authority Executive Director and David Farmer, Southwestern Regional Jail Administrator hosted a local Cost Containment Meeting at the SWRJ in Holden.
The meetings, which have previously been held in the central office, are helpful for officials to discuss how to more efficiently streamline services and save money, among other things.
"Those have been very valuable meetings, but we've gotten to the point with them at the high level that we thought it was important that we break those down and start doing them in the communities which we serve."
The WVRJCFA plans to hold ten of these meetings at different facilities across the state during the next year. One at each jail: Central Regional, Eastern Regional, Northern Regional, North Central Regional, Potomac Highlands Regional, South Central Regional, Southern Regional, Southwestern Regional, Tygart Valley Regional and Western Regional.
Representatives from SWRJ and the communities which the jail serves were invited to attend the meeting.
"It was well attended. We invited sheriffs, prosecuting attorneys, the county commissioners, the circuit judges, the magistrates,circuit clerks, as well as representatives from the supreme court from some other areas to attend."
Today's meeting at SWRJ was the first to take place in the local communities. DeLong seems to think that the meeting was a success, with a very nice discussion and networking opportunities.
"We do kind of a round table discussion on a variety of different issues, brainstorm on how to create stronger relationships, and the areas in which we can save money," says DeLong. "It's just a productive environment when the people who perform these services and the people who have to receive these services can all get in a room together and talk about any challenges and any opportunities to do things better."
Many important issues were covered in the meeting, including some high level challenges that face the jail, such as bond payment.
"That's a big issue for the jails. And when that bond payment/revenue stream comes up short, that money comes from other areas which can affect the county per diem and then actually cost the counties more."
DeLong says they also talked with some of the local legislators about areas they could help.
"We also got down into some individual issues," says DeLong. "Things as simple as sending faxes in a timely manner to not hold up court or making sure that all the proper charges and all the information is contained in a file when an inmate shows up for court so a judge doesn't release an inmate from his court who actually has pending charges from other counties."
DeLong says that the most interesting thing about the meeting is that, for the most part, everybody seemed to feel that relationships their county had with SWRJ and leadership at the facility was very good. He says that meetings like these create a continuing networking opportunity, and, in some cases, allow people to put a face with a name.
"I really appreciate the local government officials and representatives that came out today and spent the afternoon with us," says DeLong. "I think that the Administrator, Dave Farmer, and his Lieutenant, Mr. Slater, are doing an outstanding job at that facility. And one reason why they're able to do an outstanding job is because they've had such great community support."
SWRJ, which started receiving inmates on April 8, 1998, consists of three pods and serves four counties: Boone, Logan, McDowell and Mingo.

Superstorm Sandy is making waves across the country -- halting all air travel to the East, and delaying flights to nearby hubs.
However, the Albuquerque International Sunport is largely untouched by the storm.
"Everything is pretty much on time. Couple cancellations, couple delays -- but those are everyday things" Sunport spokesman Daniel Jiron said.
But that doesn't mean you can board flights to places like Washington, D.C. and Baltimore from the Duke City.
"Some of the airlines have said they'll resume by even Tuesday potentially, others are being more cautious and saying they'll have to see what it looks like, maybe Wednesday or even later in the week," Jiron said.

The Japanese tree peonies are supposedly smaller in plant size. They are generally larger in my garden, but the Chinese ones are not 20 years old. I find them and the American hybrid to be my most favorite flower. Bloom time is short. Bloom is done now. These will have to do until next year.

Burundi and the IMF |
IMF Concludes Article IV Consultation with Burundi
On March 16, 2000, the Executive Board concluded the Article IV consultation with Burundi.1 Background Following an improvement that started in mid-1998, Burundi's security situation worsened in the last quarter of 1999, as rebel skirmishes multiplied. The Arusha peace negotiations between the warring parties resumed in mid-January 2000, with Mr. Mandela's appointment as mediator following Mr. Nyerere's death. Burundi faces a very difficult situation, with steadily falling world prices for coffee (Burundi's main source of foreign exchange). It is estimated that in 1999 real GDP contracted by about 1 percent, owing to the reduced supply of inputs resulting from a dearth of foreign exchange and the adverse impact of a drought and population displacement on agricultural activity. On average, inflation fell to an annual rate of 3.5 percent in 1999 from 12.5 percent in 1998, but a sharp acceleration took place in the second half of the year. As a result of a weak revenue performance without a corresponding adjustment in expenditure, the fiscal primary balance (defined narrowly as the difference between government revenue and noninterest outlays, excluding foreign-financed investment), on a commitment basis, switched from a surplus of 0.8 percent of GDP in 1998 to a deficit estimated at 0.4 percent in 1999. As foreign financing is estimated to have turned into a net outflow of almost 1 percent of GDP, the financing requirements of the government were met largely by an accumulation of external arrears and domestic bank borrowing. The persistent decline in foreign exchange reserves and the further accumulation of external arrears, estimated at US$84.0 at end-1999, reflected the continued large deterioration in the terms of trade, the absence of corrective measures, and minimal international assistance. The reduction in imports, associated with the rationing of foreign exchange, translated into a narrowing in the trade and external account deficits. By end-1999, Burundi's gross official reserves had fallen to some US$49.6 million, reducing the import coverage from seven months of imports at end-1998 to about four months at end-1999. Despite a depreciation of the Burundi franc by about 24 percent in domestic currency terms during the year, the differential between the official exchange rate administered by the central bank and the parallel market rate increased to 85 percent in 1999. In November, the authorities introduced a second official market for foreign exchange with a freely determined rate, allowed residents to hold foreign exchange deposits, and legalized foreign exchange bureaus. Executive Board Assessment Executive Directors expressed concern about the severe impact on economic development of the drawn-out civil conflict and the flaring up of rebel violence at the end of 1999. They noted in particular the devastation of the economic and social infrastructure, massive displacement of people, and impact on the poor. Directors expressed hope that the Arusha peace talks will rapidly reach a lasting solution for the restoration of social peace and political stability. Directors noted the deterioration in Burundi's macroeconomic and financial situation during 1999—in particular, the contraction of GDP, the resurgence of strong inflationary pressures, a weakening of the fiscal accounts, and the severe deterioration of the foreign exchange position. They recognized that the major economic adjustments that are needed would have to await the re-establishment of peace and the resumption of international assistance. However, Directors urged the authorities to begin implementing appropriately strong measures without delay to restore macroeconomic stability, especially in the areas of fiscal, monetary, and exchange rate policies. Directors were of the view that, despite some improvement over 1999, the fiscal deficit under the budget for 2000 was not compatible with the need to reduce inflation and conserve the country's scarce foreign reserves. Accordingly, they strongly encouraged the authorities to curtail the wage bill increase, control strictly other expenditures, adjusting them promptly in case of a revenue shortfall, and improve budget management to introduce more efficiency and transparency. In this connection, Directors noted the desirability of switching expenditure from the military to the social sectors when the security situation improves. Directors commended the authorities for the courageous actions taken in January to raise retail prices for petroleum products and to increase government revenue. They also stressed the need to reinforce these actions by eliminating customs exemptions and strengthening customs and tax administration. Directors urged the authorities to strengthen monetary policy and regain control of broad money through the discontinuation of the unlimited refinancing policy, a substantial increase in the refinancing rate, and strict enforcement of reserve requirements for commercial banks. They also stressed the need for tightening supervision of the financial sector and enforcing observance of prudential ratios and provisioning requirements. Directors noted that, despite regular adjustments during the year, the official exchange rate did not appropriately reflect inflation differentials with Burundi's partner countries and changes in the terms of trade. They observed that the current exchange rate policy had resulted in a major loss in Burundi's competitiveness, adversely affected economic activity, and led to an ever-increasing gap with the parallel market rate. Directors noted with concern the introduction of the second official foreign exchange market, which gives rise to a multiple currency practice, and encouraged the authorities to remove this practice soon by consolidating the two official markets into a single auction system. Noting the lack of progress on structural reforms, Directors recommended that priority be given to the liberalization of the coffee sector, which could help provide opportunities for growth and poverty reduction in the agricultural sector. Priority should also be given to the rationalization of public enterprise management, which would improve the sector's financial situation and free public resources. Directors expressed concern about the weaknesses of the statistical database, which limited the ability of both the authorities and the Fund to evaluate economic development and formulate appropriate policies. They called on the authorities to strengthen efforts to collect essential economic and financial statistics and to ensure their consistency, particularly regarding the national accounts, the balance of payments, and external debt. Directors noted that these efforts could be supported by technical assistance, including from the Fund. Directors encouraged the authorities to work closely with Fund staff to prepare the basis for emergency post-conflict assistance and the resumption of financial support from donors, and some Directors noted that this could pave the way for possible additional support under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility. |

1. Largest Marine Preserve A wide stretch of ocean is being set aside for an expanded and protected marine preserve. The United States is declaring the waters off limits to oil drilling and most fishing in a bid to protect fragile underwater life in the Pacific Ocean. The area is located in the expanded Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, which covers 490,000 square miles of water around island territories controlled by the U.S. The area is roughly three times the size of California and is the world's largest marine reserve. Millions of seabirds, turtles and marine mammals will be protected in the area, as will more than 130 underwater mountains, where rare and previously unknown species are often found. There are many benefits to protecting wildlife habitats. As a class, discuss some with regard to the new Pacific Ocean marine preserve. Use points from the discussion to draw a series of comic strips showing ways the new marine preserve will benefit wildlife, and people. Common Core State Standards: Engaging effectively in a range of collaborative discussions; conducting short research projects that build knowledge about a topic; using drawings or visual displays when appropriate to enhance the development of main ideas or points. 2. Ancient Wheat Ancient people in the European nation of Great Britain imported wheat from other areas for 2,000 years before they started growing it themselves, archaeological evidence suggests. Since the findings indicate the Britons knew about farming, scientists are wondering why it took 2,000 years for them to practice it. Farming began in the Middle East at least 10,500 years ago and in continental Europe a couple of thousand years later, but it did not begin in the British Isles until about 6,000 years ago. Yet researchers report in the journal Science that they have found scientific DNA evidence of wheat dating back 8,000 years at a site off the English coast. Scientists study artifacts and things from the past to learn how people and wildlife lived in earlier times. In the newspaper, find five items in stories, photos and ads that would tell future scientists something about the way we live. Write a complete sentence for each, explaining what it could teach. Then rank them in order of importance for what they could teach future scientists. Common Core State Standards: Conducting short research projects that build knowledge about a topic; using drawings or visual displays when appropriate to enhance the development of main ideas or points; producing clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization and style are appropriate to the task. 3. A Star's Possessions Shirley Temple became a movie star as a young child and was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood before she was out of elementary school. In her career, she stored away dancing shoes, dresses, dolls and other items from her days as a child star, and fans will be able to buy some of those items at an auction sale this summer. Before the auction in July, items from the collection will be exhibited at museums in different parts of the country. The traveling exhibit will be titled "Love, Shirley Temple" in memory of the actress, who lived a long life and died last year at age 85. People have always loved to read about movie stars and entertainers. In the newspaper or online, find a story about a movie star or entertainer you like. Read the story closely and use what you read to write a "fan letter" to the star, explaining why you like him or her. Common Core State Standards: Writing informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly; reading closely what a text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it. 4. Bug Killing Ash Trees An insect called the emerald ash borer is expected to kill off North America's ash trees in a few years. This will not only threaten the production of baseball bats — which are made of ash — but will affect plants, animals, water supplies and forest ecosystems. Scientists concede they are losing the battle against the insect, which came to the U.S. from the continent of Asia. Its larva eat through the bark of the ash trees and burrow into the trunk to insulate themselves from the cold. This cuts off nutrients and water that the tree needs to survive and can kill a tree in as little as two years. When a species invades a new area it is known as an "invasive" species. Invasive species are hard to battle because they have few predators in their new area. As a class, closely read a story in the newspaper or online about an invasive species. Use what you read to design a poster or public service ad, highlighting problems the species is causing and what can be done. Common Core State Standards: Reading closely what a text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; citing specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions; using drawings or visual displays when appropriate to enhance the development of main ideas or points. 5. Your Own Magazine The Nation, America's oldest weekly magazine, is celebrating its 150th anniversary with a year of special events, including public discussions, a book release and a film documentary. It was founded by anti-slavery abolitionists in 1865, shortly after the Civil War. High point of the year-long observance will be a 200-page special issue in April, including historic and new articles by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other leading figures from the past and present. If you could start your own magazine, what kind would you start? Would you like to focus on a narrow topic, or offer stories on a wide range of topics? Think of a name for your magazine. Then go through the newspaper and print or clip out stories and photos you would include in your magazine. Write a paragraph describing your magazine, why you picked the stories and photos, and to whom you think your magazine would appeal. Common Core State Standards: Conducting short research projects that build knowledge about a topic; producing clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization and style are appropriate to the task. |

Rare Events Analysis of High-Frequency Equity DataDragos BozdogStevens Institute of Technology Ionut FlorescuStevens Institute of Technology Khaldoun KhashanahStevens Institute of Technology Jim WangStevens Institute of Technology July 1, 2011 Wilmott Journal, pp. 74-81, 2011 Abstract: In this work we present a methodology to detect rare events which are defined as large price movements relative to the volume traded. We analyze the behavior of equity after the detection of these rare events. We provide methods to calibrate trading rules based on the detection of these events and illustrate for a particular trading rule. We apply the methodology to tick data for thousands of equities over a period of five days. In order to draw comprehensive conclusions, we group the equities into classes and calculate probabilities of price recovery after these rare events for each class. The methodology that we have developed is based on non-parametric statistics and makes no assumption about the distribution of the random variables in the study.

Background. Didelphys uterus is a noncommon finding in women. Till now, few cases with benign mesenchymal tumors in patients with didelphys uterus are described. We present a case of a patient with carcinosarcoma arising in a didelphys uterus. Case. A 73-year-old patient presented with profuse watery postmenopausal bleeding. On examination under anesthesia, left and right cervixes were identified. Tumor extended from the left cervix into the lower third of the vagina and was adherent to the right vaginal sidewall. There was no evidence of parametrial extension. Tissue was sent for biopsy which revealed high-grade uterine carcinosarcoma. Two uterine fundi and two vaginas in keeping with uterine didelphys were identified on imaging. The patient underwent vaginal excision of the protruding tumor measuring cm with harmonic scalpel followed by total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooophorectomy. Although a number of pelvic and paraaortic lymph nodes were also identified on imaging, she was not planned for lymphadenectomy after MDT (multidisciplinary team) discussion because of her comorbidities. The final histology confirmed the diagnosis. Conclusion. According to our knowledge, this is the second case of carcinosarcoma arising in didelphys uterus in the world literature.
1. Introduction
Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome presenting as didelphys uterus is a very rare anomaly which is estimated to occur in 1/3,000 women [1]. However, it might go undetected in the absence of medical and reproductive complications and so the incidence may be underestimated. Fibroids are benign mesenchymal tumors which are commonly associated with cases of didelphys uterus and are present in premenopausal women [2]. However, sarcoma—the malignant mesenchymal tumor—is an extremely rare finding in a woman with a didephys uterus. We are only aware of one case previously described in the literature [3]. Moreover, very few reports of endometrial cancer arising in patients with uterine malformations could be also found in the literature [4–7]. We present a case of carcinosarcoma found in a woman with a didelphys uterus (Figure 3). A review of the literature was performed to clarify the diagnostic pathway and the management of this rare entity.
2. Case
A 73-year-fold patient, para 5, presented with profuse watery postmenopausal discharge and frank red bleeding per vagina for 2 weeks. On examination under anesthesia, left and right cervixes were identified. Tumor extended from the left cervix into the lower third of the vagina and was adherent to the right vaginal sidewall. The uterus was otherwise mobile, and there was no evidence of parametrial extension. Tissue was sent for biopsy which revealed high-grade uterine carcinosarcoma.
After contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the chest, abdomen and pelvis showed two uterine fundi and two vaginas in keeping with uterine didelphys (Figure 1). Small volume lymphadenopathy was present with 1 cm precaval lymph node, 1 cm right common iliac lymph node and 9 mm rounded right external iliac lymph node. No lung disease or significant bony lesions were found. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed two uterine fundi, cervices, and vaginas (Figure 2). The right uterine fundus had a distended endometrial cavity measuring 2.9 cm. Multifocal endometrial soft tissues were present. A soft tissue mass with projections was present at the fundus and in the distal endometrial canal extending into right endocervical canal and invading the anterior cervical stroma. The soft tissue mass extended into the upper one-third of the right vaginal cavity. No definite evidence of parametrial invasion was found, while the lower two-thirds of the vagina were normal. The left uterine fundus, cervix, and vagina were normal.
Positron emission tomography (PET) CT demonstrated a metabolically active tumour with intense metabolic activity corresponding to local uterine disease sites seen on MRI. PET CT also detected metabolically active nodes in the left supraclavicular fossa, mediastinum, abdomen, and pelvis in keeping with metastatic disease.
Although a number of pelvic and paraaortic lymph nodes were identified on imaging, she was not planned for lymphadenectomy after MDT discussion because of her past medical history which included coronary artery bypass graft 3 years ago, hypertension, and unstable diabetes mellitus. The patient had three laparotomies as a child, the third of which resulted in a bowel resection due to anatomical duplication of her gastrointestinal tract. On examination, the patient had reduced exercise tolerance (angina at 400 yards) and also had evidence of reflux on induction of anaesthesia and respiratory wheezing.
The patient underwent vaginal excision of the protruding tumor measuring cm with harmonic scalpel followed by total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooophorectomy which was achieved after mobilizing the uteri from the adjacent bladder and bowel which were adherent in the midline between the right and left uteri. Two separate uterine bodies were found, each with its own cervix and attached fallopian tube and ovary. The area of the tumor in the vaginal wall was marked with clips as the patient would have adjuvant treatment postoperatively. It should also be mentioned that the caecum was found double in size. Dilated small bowel loops were also found. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery.
The final histology confirmed the diagnosis of carcinosarcoma stage IIIb. More specifically, the vaginal tumour was a polypoid necrotic tumour consisting of malignant columnar epithelial cells within a stroma consisting of highly atypical spindle-shaped cells. The epithelial component consisted mainly of high-grade serous carcinoma and showed marked atypia with prominent mitoses. The stromal component consisted of markedly atypical spindle and stellate cells. Occasional foci consisted of smaller ovoid cells with hyperchromatic nuclei and granular chromatin. No heterologous components were seen. The features were of a high-grade carcinosarcoma. Some residual foci of vaginal epithelium and stroma were also seen. Regarding the uteri, tubes, and ovaries, the right horn of the uterus showed a carcinosarcoma with features similar to those of the vaginal tumour. Within the corpus this consisted mainly of high-grade serous adenocarcinoma with very focal sarcomatous differentiation. Psammomatous calcification was also seen. The tumour invaded into the outer half of the myometrium and was less than 1 mm from the serosal surface. Extensive lymphovascular space invasion was seen. The right cornu, right tube, and ovary also showed tumour involvement. Tumour was present at the endocervical resection margin. The right and left horns showed tumour involvement. Tumour was also seen at the parametrial margins, bilaterally. The left ovary contained a focus of calcification and foreign body giant cell reaction but no definite tumour involvement. The left horn of the uterus showed a benign endometrial polyp. The background endometrium showed foci of simple hyperplasia without atypia. Some occasional foci of adenomyosis and benign leiomyomas were also present. The cytology of the washings revealed a cellular specimen consisting of cohesive groups of atypical cells, with prominent nucleoli. The cells aggregated to form glandular structures. Background reactive mesothelial cells and histiocytes were also present. The features were of metastatic carcinoma. The final histopathology was discussed at the Gynae Oncology MDT, and palliative radiotherapy was recommended.
3. Discussion
Fusion uterine anomalies of various kinds are not uncommon. Such anomalies result from differing degrees of failure of fusion of the two Müllerian ducts at about 9 weeks of gestation. A congenital anomaly syndrome with didelphys uterus and ipsilateral renal agenesis was first reported in 1922 [8]. Since then, over 180 cases were reported in the literature [5].
Most of these anomalies do not reduce the female fertility, and this was demonstrated in our patient as she had five normal deliveries. However, complete duplication of the uterus and cervix may prevent descent of the fetal head in late pregnancy or obstruct labor by the nonpregnant horn, something that was mentioned in our patient's medical history.
Usually, women with a congenital uterine anomaly have an increased risk of renal anomalies and should undergo renal tract imaging. Our case was not correlated with significant renal anomalies, but she had a history of gastrointestinal tract anomalies (duplicate colon). The other finding from the genitourinary tract was that our patient had normal urethra, as well as a second "blind" urethra.
Uterine malformations may cause a delayed diagnosis of gynecological malignancies. Imaging studies including ultrasound, 3D ultrasound, CT, and MRI could help in the diagnosis of uterine malignancies in cases of didelphys uterus [5]. We used ultrasound and MRI for the diagnosis of didelphys uterus, as well as PET scan for clarification of lymph node metastases. However, it should be mentioned that the diagnosis is based on the histological findings.
A Pubmed and Google search was conducted for internet-based resources and open access publications with the terms didelphys uterus or double uterus and cancer or sarcoma or malignancy and we identified 17 cases with endometrial cancer and another case with carcinosarcoma between the years 1952 and 2012 [3–21]. So according to, our knowledge our case is the second described in the literature with carcinosarcoma in a patient with didelphys uterus. The first case of carcinosarcoma of the uterus is related with tamoxifen use in a 72-year-old patient with a history of breast cancer [3]. The patient similarly to our case presented with a large pelvic mass, but the tumor was not recognized preoperatively. This patient died of the disease 5 months after diagnosis. So both cases presented in postmenopausal women over 70 years with rather large tumors.
The question of why the patient underwent MRI could be raised as the role of MRI is to identify patients likely to be at risk of nodal disease and thereby select patients for lymphadenectomy. CT or PETCT alone would have sufficed for the detection of distant disease, whilst local staging was surgical. However, we performed first the imaging and after that the MDM decided to avoid lymphadenectomy.
Carcinosarcomas are also called mixed Müllerian tumors which are characterized by a typical biphasic pattern with carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements (either homologous or heterologous). In our case, no heterologous components were found. The behavior of carcinosarcomas is characterized mainly by the carcinomatous component, and so mainly they give lymph node metastases. In our case, pelvic and paraaortic lymph nodes were identified, but because of the comorbidity, a lymphadenectomy was not performed. Radiotherapy is suggested in the literature as another option for treatment of uterine didelphys malignancy [3]. In general, it is known that the overall 5-year survivals of patients with uterine carcinosarcoma receiving radiotherapy versus no irradiation were 41.5% and 33.2%, respectively. Combined adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy may prolong even more the 5-year survival.
4. Conclusion
Didelphys uterus is a rare finding in women. It is even more rare to be complicated with carcinosarcoma. According to our knowledge this is the second case of carcinosarcoma arising in didelphys uterus in the world literature.

Hey Everyone,
I was wondering if there are any stylist out there that have come back to this field of work after being absent from the industry... Do you feel more sucessful this time around? Do you feel happier? I am getting back into the industry after I left it back in 2005... I missed the salon atmospher...
Thanks for the reply foilgirl,
How did you get back into the field,, did you boothrent or comission??? When you were doing interviews for a job did they grill you on why you choose to leave the profession??? I'm happy to hear that you are more sucessful now then you would prob have been. I can't wait to get back into a salon.
I was a stlylist and makeup artist for over ten years, but have been out of the salon for ten years now. I have been working in retail as a makeup artist, but now I want to get back into the salon/spa environment as a MUA and hair stylist.
My dream is to get back into a salon, build up clientele, and open my own place in a few years.

In his first interview with any international or domestic print media since taking office, Mexico's new finance minister Luis Videgaray tells LatinFinance why he is confident that fiscal and energy reforms will take place in 2013
Mexicos new finance minister Luis Videgaray says he is confident political consensus now exists to shake up state oil company Pemex and overhaul the countrys fiscal regime through a bold set of reforms to be carried out next year. In his first interview with the foreign or local print media since taking office this month, Videgaray tells LatinFinance that an overhaul of the countrys fiscal system will be central to boosting competitiveness and raising potential GDP from 3% to near 6% in the coming years, a key electoral pledge. This not just a marginal twist in the fiscal regime. We need to do a true overhaul of our fiscal structure in order for this to be possible, he says....
