The snobbishness of game culture never ceases to amuse me.
Video Gamer: "Pokemon is so childish!"
Normal person: "Video games are childish!"
I think Pet Battles are an interesting idea. I probably won't do a lot with this system, but it looks neat and I'm sure there will be people who find it fun.
It occupies an unique space, design-wise. In some ways, it's a solo PvP game, only without the crazy balance issues that would occur if Blizz made dueling a official sport. It does not depend on gear, so it's good for people who don't climb either the PvP or PvE grinds, while also not interfering with PvE or PvP.
It's a completely transient activity, so you can drop in and out. But it still leverages the multi-player and permanent aspect of WoW, as you get to play against other players.
It might be a possible sub-game for the people who want less twitch and more strategy, depending on how it's implemented. It would be easier to make the pet battle slower, or even turn-based, than it would be to change the regular game.
There are a significant number of people who can't or don't want to raid, or who don't want to be on the gear treadmill for PvE, and who aren't good enough for competitive PvP. These people need something to do, just as much as the raiders need raids. This is an option for those people.
I don't know if Pet Battles are the best option for this segment of the audience, but it ties into pet collecting, and is generally not as "hardcore" as PvE and PvP main games are. I think it's good for WoW to have these "softer" elements, and I would like to see Blizzard come up with more of them.
So what pet are you going to level and train? I'm going with my favorite White Kitten.
Also, Blizzard, make a [Faceless Minion] companion pet! You know you want to. We have a couple of die-hard pet collectors in my guild, and there is much sighing over the tiny Faceless Minions every time we go to Bastion of Twilight.

When the feature was introduced at BlizzCon they actually said the pet battles would be turn based, which got quite a big cheer.

I was shocked that people brought out the 'Pokemon is for Kids' card. Seriously? Didn't we move past this like... half a decade ago? I know plenty of full fledged adults who love the game because of the strategy, I know a ton of kids who play it for a myriad of reasons.
Seriously, it's bad enough I have to deal with that crap because I'm 27 and watch nothing but cartoons and read comics, don't lump my Poke-love in there too!
If anything this is the one feature I'm going to keep my eyes on closest in terms of the expansion. I can't wait! Me and my Robo Squirrel will be ready!

This could turn out to be the most important part of the expansion. It doesn't appeal to me, however. In MMOs I want to play my character, not minigames.

My big complaints about WoW Pokemon are that there are enough things that need to be fixed in-game (bringing Outland, Northrend, and the post-Cata Old World up to the Pandaria storyline, for example), and there is already an MMO that relies heavily on the Pokemon/MtG mechanic to satisfy combat (Wizard 101).
This has a feel of Path of the Titans or Dance Studio to me, and if there's one thing that will get dropped from mop, that's it.

I am all for the pet battle system. I am not ashamed to admit that I am 36 years old. I have a 12 year old son. I tell him all the time when he asks "Dad, why do you always beat me in duels... " I say "Son, I have been playing pokemon longer than you have been alive." It is not a kids game, it is a really good old school rpg, and if you do not agree that probably means you never gave it a shot.
I am also behind new content over revamped old content. The old world got revamped. That is awesome, but at this point leveling goes so quick, I think most people do not care. My last alt, a resto shammy.. Never stepped out of SW except to do some arch and exploring while pvping on the weekends. 16 - 77 in pugs & BGs. I never saw the new content.
Outland revamp? Northrend revamp? I would not complain if it happened, but would not care. The only thing I would like to see is the quest givers hanging out in the front of the place so I can get a little more xp.
Just my 0.02 though.

I can see Pet Battles being one of those things that they put on the iPhone, along with the Auction House.

- Jonathan said...
This was the feature, I think, that caused my wife the pet collector (over 150 so far) to decide to drop out. Specifically, she heard a statement that there will be some pets that will be exclusive rewards for pet battles. So, now to continue her collection, she will have to participate in a mini-game. And now, instead of pet collection being a somewhat esoteric activity that is totally done for the 'cute collection' aspect, it will be competitive. Total turnoff for her. You may like the gameplay idea, but for her it takes one of her quiet fun activities and turns it into something where she might be "challenged" to fight. Big, big turnoff for her.

- 3:25 PM, October 28, 2011
- RJ said...
Jonathan, they did say that you can turn off being challenged for pet duels entirely, and if there are any that are behind the system, it would be for challenging NPC trainers. This wouldn't make it that different then grinding rare drops, except you have a guaranteed chance for winning the fight.
- 4:30 PM, October 28, 2011
- Carol said...
As the wife of Jonathan, I'll weigh in on that last response.
I'm really glad that they're planning to let you turn it off. The idea of being swamped with pet duels in Stormwind really annoyed me.
But really it's this. I'm a fuzzy old RPer (and an achiever with over 10,000 achievement points, and a raider who dropped Arthas in 10-man strict and a PVPer with a Season 2 title). I probably identify with my character entirely too much. My character has pets because she can't turn away a cute little hungry face.
There's just no way she's going to be the next Michael Vick. I just can't picture sending my beloved companions out to fight for their lives. I guess that just means I'm looking at it all wrong, but there it is. So, I guess I can see the funny in "Hey, I will fight with my Sunflower!", it's just really not where I'm at.
And yes, I know I can just not participate. It's just... I don't like what they are doing with this game I loved. So, I guess it's just time for me to move on and others to enjoy this game, 'cause I'm just not anymore. Happens, I guess.
- 8:41 PM, October 28, 2011
- puppybrother said...
Carol, not that this'll help, but you could choose to fight with some of the more bloodthirsty pets.
Like the little floating beholder who already neems critters to death that he sees? I'm pretty sure he wants to fight.
Mini-Diablo, Grunty, Deathy, Thor, all of those would seem to want to fight as well. Or, you could use some of the new ones they'll be sure to put out just for this.
Remember, there's nothing a trainer can do to make a Pokemon fight if they don't want to. I don't think Ash could argue with Pikachu's lightning bolt.

Typeface notes:
Garamond Premier Pro had its genesis in 1988 when Adobe Principal Designer Robert Slimbach visited the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, Belgium, to study their collection of Claude Garamond's metal punches and type designs. Garamond, a French punchcutter, produced a refined array of book types in the mid-1500s that combined an unprecedented degree of balance and elegance, and stand as a pinnacle of beauty and practicality in typefounding. While fine-tuning Adobe Garamond (released in 1989) as a useful design suited to modern publishing, Slimbach started planning an entirely new interpretation of Garamond's designs based on the large range of unique sizes he had seen at the Plantin-Moretus, and on the comparable italics cut by Robert Granjon, Garamond's contemporary. By modeling Garamond Premier Pro on these hand-cut type sizes, Slimbach has retained the varied optical size characteristics and freshness of the original designs, while creating a practical 21st-century type family. Garamond Premier Pro contains an extensive glyph complement, including central European, Cyrillic and Greek characters, and is offered in five weights ranging from light to bold.
To learn more about Garamond Premier Pro, refer to the family landing page.

This face is designed for a text size of 11.0 points and can be used from 8.9 to 14.9 point size. Other faces in the same family are designed for larger and smaller point sizes. Please see Adobe Type Optical Sizes for a discussion of the use of fonts designed for different optical sizes.

The Baby Boks scored 97 points in humiliating the United States in the Junior World Championship in France.
The Boks have had tougher unopposed training runs against a second tier rugby nation that will continue to remain second tier if this is the best of the u20s in the United States.
The Boks won 97-0 and would have had 100 points but for a handling error in the last movement. The Boks crossed the tryline but captain Ruan Steenkamp lost the ball.
The kickers Handre Pollard and Robert du Preez also struggled and missed nine conversions between them. Pollard kicked one conversion from six and Du Preez goaled six from 10.
Sevens sensation Seabelo Senatla got four tries.
The Boks play England on Sunday. England beat hosts France 30-6.
Ireland beat Australia 19-15. Wales beat Samoa 42-3 and Argentina beat Scotland 44-13. New Zealand also had an easy win against Fiji 59-6.
Baby Boks – Tries: Andrew Beerwinkel, Cheslin Kolbe, Seabelo Senatla (4), Ruan Steenkamp, Justin Geduld (2), Jacques du Toit, Jesse Kriel (2), Michael Willemse (2), Luther Obi (2). Conversions: Handré Pollard, Robert du Preez (6). Penalty: Pollard

Dr. Clyde Noble, Bandmaster. Popular wartime tunes of Yank and Rebel alike are presented within a varied concert repertoire; all played on genuine mid-19th-century style brass and percussion instruments.
This CD, performed by Stan Clardy (featuring several guest musicians), contains classic songs of faith, such as "Amazing Grace," "Nearer my God to Thee," and "Be Thou My Vision." 16 songs.
This CD, performed by the 97th Regimental String Band, includes classic songs such as "Battle Cry of Freedom," "The Bonnie Blue Flag," and "Roll Alabama." 15 songs.
This CD, performed by The Cre8Tive Confederate, includes songs like "Rebel Rose," "Tennessee," "All was Left Behind," "Tarheel March," and "Amazing Grace." 17 songs.
Recorded by Appomattox Court House National Historical Park employee Corbin Hayslett, this collection of songs is inspired by Joel Sweeney, a pioneer in banjo playing. At the Appalachian String Band Festival, he won second place in the adult old-time banjo contest when he was just 16. This collection of songs showcases his enormous talent for a musical style not often heard in this day and age, with great historical accuracy and integrity.
Nothing captures the imagination of the students of the Confederacy more than the famous Rebel Yell. Contemporary accounts are filled with references, and whole books have been devoted to it. Yet few people know how the famous shout actually sounded. This new cd, produced by the Museum of the Confederacy, presents the real sound of the yell that inspired Johny Reb and sent chills up the spine of Billy Yank.
This is the soundtrack from Ken Burn's magnificant retelling of the Civil War. This CD includes such classics as Ashokan Farewell, Dixie's Land, Aura Lee, and the song many Union and Confederate General's would not allow their musicians to play for fear of causing me to go AWOl, Lorena. 25 songs in all.
Songs of the South: Timeless Melodies for Front-Porch Listening, by Jim Gibson. Sensitive and reflective arrangements of familiar Southern songs on solo piano including: Taras Theme (from Gone With The Wind); Old Folks At Home (Way Down Upon The Swanee River); Shenandoah; Swing Low, Sweet Chariot; Carolina In The Morning; The Bonnie Blue Flag; On Top Of Old Smokey; My Old Kentucky Home; Dixie Land; Deep River; Oh, Susannah!; Down In The Valley/Tom Dooley; Go, tell It On The Mountain; Carry Me Back To Old Virginia; Amazing Grace.

Jackson and Boever Ink NLI's During Softball's Early Signing Period
November 30, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University head softball coach Amy Yates announced that Jessica Jackson and Jaclyn Boever have signed National Letters of Intent (NLI) to play at Pfeiffer University starting in 2013. Both inked letters during the NCAA's early signing period.
Jackson, hailing from Greensboro, currently attends High Point Christian Academy anchoring the shortstop position on the field with great speed, range and bat while also playing ASA ball with the NC Knockouts. In the classroom, Jackson carries a 4.14 grade point average off the field joining her sister Hannah at Pfeiffer next season.
"We're very excited to have Jessica joining our program," remarked Coach Yates. "She already has all the qualities of a great ball player and will only get stronger. She has the ability to make the game look easy and is a joy to watch."
Boever will enter the village out of Bostic and East Rutherford High School. Boever calls the outfield home with plenty of speed to cover a lot of ground to go with her excellent arm. Off the diamond, Boever maintains a 3.86 grade point average also playing her ASA ball for the Foothills Heat.
"Jaclyn will be a great asset to our program," stated Coach Yates. "She has a tremendous attitude and love for the game. She's one of those players you never question if she's giving her all and I look forward to working with her."
Pfeiffer will open up its 2012 campaign on February 15th at region-rival Catawba beginning at 1:30 p.m.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine whether a breast cancer tumor is positive for HER2/neu, which helps to guide treatment and predict the course of the disease (prognosis); sometimes to monitor treatment and for cancer recurrence
When to Get Tested?
When you have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer
Sample Required?
A sample of breast cancer tissue obtained during a biopsy or a tumor removed surgically during a lumpectomy or mastectomy; sometimes a blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
HER2/neu is short for the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. It is a gene that is found in healthy cells, but some people with breast cancer have tumors with excess copies of the gene and amounts of the protein it produces. Breast tumors in this category are known as HER2/neu-positive and can be more aggressive and respond differently to treatment than HER2/neu-negative tumors. The HER2/neu test performed on breast tissue determines whether a person's breast cancer is positive for HER2/neu.
In normal cells, the HER2/neu gene codes for a protein that helps promote cell growth. But when a gene mutation results in too many copies in a cell (amplification), HER2/neu then produces too much of the HER2 protein. When this happens, HER2/neu becomes an oncogene, meaning that it can promote uncontrolled, cancerous growth. This only happens in about one in five breast cancers but can also happen in other cancers, such as ovarian and bladder cancer.
Tumors that have this overexpression tend to grow more aggressively and resist endocrine (anti-hormone) therapy and some standard chemotherapies. People with HER2/neu-positive breast cancers tend to have a poorer prognosis, but this tumor characteristic also makes them candidates to receive treatment specific for HER2/neu-positive cancers, also known as targeted therapy.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) jointly recommend that the tumors of all people with invasive or recurrent breast cancer be tested for HER2/neu.
To determine if a tumor is positive for HER2/neu, a biopsy is taken and the sample of tumor is tested. There are two main ways to test HER2/neu status:
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC) measures the amount of HER2 protein present.
- Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) looks at the genetic level for the number of copies of the gene present, known as amplification.
Both IHC and FISH are acceptable testing methods, according to ASCO and CAP. The panel does not express a preference for one over the other. But if one test is indeterminate or negative, then the other should be done as a follow-up test.
Blood testing
Cells shed HER2 protein into the blood and a serum test is available to measure the amount of HER2 protein present in the blood of a person diagnosed with breast cancer. The serum level is loosely associated with the amount of HER2/neu-positive cancer present.
This test is not used for screening purposes and is not a substitute for tissue testing but may be ordered to help assess a person's prognosis and to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
After an initial diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer is made, this blood test may be performed and if the initial level (baseline) is greater than 15 ng/mL, then the test may be used to monitor treatment. HER2 blood levels that remain high or drop and then increase could indicate that treatment is not working.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A sample of breast cancer tissue is obtained by doing a fine needle aspiration, needle biopsy, or surgical biopsy. For the HER2 blood test, a blood sample is drawn from a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

JON CARDINELLI watched the Stormers repel a late Reds rally to record an impressive 23-13 win in Brisbane.
The Stormers continue to deliver in the face of trying circumstances. They went into this game without Schalk Burger, Jean de Villiers or Andries Bekker, and still they managed to play with the composure and resolve needed to topple the best Super Rugby has to offer.
Some will argue that the Stormers should have put this Reds side away by more, as the Queenslanders suffered some serious injuries early in the piece. Coach Ewen McKenzie would have been feeling a sick sense of deja vu as flyhalf Sam Lane and then centre Ben Tapuai left the field inside the first 10 minutes. At that point the Reds were already 10-0 down, and were battling for any sort of momentum.
But to dismiss the Reds' effort under these circumstances would also detract from the Stormers' achievement. The Reds fought hard to stay in the game, and as the clock wound down in the second half, the visitors were made to fight just as hard to keep the Reds at arm's length.
At times the Stormers attacked with confidence and purpose, but it was another fantastic forward effort and titanic defensive display that earned them an important win. The Cape heavies made an impression at the collisions from the first minute, and maintained that intensity throughout. It was at the point of contact where they troubled the Reds, and in many instances created attacking opportunities.
It didn't matter that the Stormers struggled for territory. The Reds pack battled to build momentum from the scrum and at the collisions, and the Stormers were quick to pounce on a turnover and unleash a backline that was in a mood to counter-attack.
It was a turnover that allowed the Stormers to win a lineout deep in the Reds' half in the 10th minute. Juan de Jongh crashed it up before Peter Grant attacked the line. Grant then effected a telling offload in the tackle to Gio Aplon, and at 10-0 the visitors had raced to a good lead.
The Reds managed to settle as the half progressed, but showed a lack of discipline in that crucial period just before half-time. A penalty attempt by Ben Lucas dropped short and the Stormers ran it back at a disorganised Reds defence until they were deep in the opposition 22. Some terrific skills allowed the Stormers to keep the ball alive, and from a later phase Grant sniped again, reached for the tryline, and scored.
At 17-3 it appeared to be all over for the shell-shocked Reds. McKenzie had gone into this match with five forwards on his bench and the early injuries to Lane and Tapuai had forced him to field both of his backline reserves. The Reds were hanging on at half-time.
The Stormers showed their composure in the second stanza. It wasn't a case of defending a 14-point lead, but more a case of understanding that the Reds were battling to trouble their forwards. And as the game continued, the Reds did indeed become more desperate.
The hosts had their chances to narrow the deficit, and turned down a few shots at goal in favour of a crack at the tryline. The decision proved flawed as Rob Simmons lost the ball over the line, and the Stormers defence managed to clear from a subsequent scrum. This was but one of many instances where a Reds venture into Stormers territory culminated in a frustrating turnover.
It was far from a perfect showing from the Stormers, and while their leaders pulled them through they missed Andries Bekker's management skills at the lineout.
The visitors' blew a few early opportunities through lineout turnovers in good attacking positions. They also gifted a try to James Horwill in the 63rd minute when replacement hooker Deon Fourie missed his jumper at a set piece five metres from his own tryline.
But the Reds never looked like closing the gap. Their desperation grew as the full-time hooter drew close, and they passed up a shot at goal in favour of another dip at the tryline.
Again it ended in a turnover. They managed to win another penalty which Mike Harris duly slotted, but then they blew any chance of a draw or indeed a losing bonus point when they conceded a three-pointer at the other end of the park.
The Stormers still lack the killer instinct to be considered a real title prospect, but what is clear is that there is a tremendous belief in their playing pattern.
Their defence was the difference on this occasion and takes them to two wins from three tour matches. With only the Force to play, they have a good chance of making that record three from four and stretching their lead at the top of the South African conference.

The Spring Aspect Container in AWare will make it possible to manage your aspects using Spring, it let's you treat the aspects just as any other Spring bean.
The container will read in a Spring configuration file called
aware-config.xml, this file has to be on your classpath. In this file you can define your aspects, add parameters and data structures to them, pass in references to other components that is being used etc. This is for example documented briefly in the Role-Based Security section. For details see the Spring documentation.
To tell the AspectWerkz system that you want to deploy a specific aspect in the Spring aspect container (or any other custom aspect container) you have to specifify that in the regular aspect definition file like this:
|Code Block
<aspect class="foo.bar.Baz" container="org.codehaus.aware.container.SpringAspectContainer"> ... </aspect>
In the
aware-config.xml file you have to configure the aspects like this:
|Code Block
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd"> <beans> <bean id="my.own.Aspect" class="my.own.Aspect" singleton="false" init-method="intialize"> <property name="someProperty"> ... </property> ... </bean> ... </beans>
Some explanations:
id- specifies the name of the aspect if a custom name is define you that else use the class name of the aspect (which is the default name). Mandatory.
class- specifies the class name of the aspect. Mandatory.
singleton- specifies that the aspect will be instantiated using the prototype pattern, Mandatory and needed to be set to
init-method- the
init-methodis the method that you are using to initialize the aspect. This method will be called when all the properties have been set. Optional.
property- the metadata that you want to pass to the aspect (see the Spring documentation for details on how how to define properties). Optional.
For an example on how to configure aspect using Spring see the Role-Based Security component.

House budget seeks to up feds' retirement contributions
Tuesday - 4/1/2014, 12:54pm EDT
The House Republican budget plan for next year aims to curtail federal spending by more than $5.1 trillion over the next 10 years, in part by requiring federal employees to contribute more toward their pensions.
The budget blueprint unveiled by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) Tuesday includes a handful of proposals affecting the federal workforce that Ryan and House Republicans have championed in the past.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) (File photo)
Among them, the recommendation that federal employees, including members of Congress, make "greater contributions toward their own retirement," in keeping with the recommendations from the Simpson-Bowles deficit-reduction committee.
The Ryan budget proposes hiking pension costs to 6.35 percent of federal employees' salaries.
Newly hired federal employees are currently required to contribute 4.4 percent of their salary toward their pensions, under the bipartisan budget deal negotiated by Ryan and his Senate Democratic counterpart, Patty Murray (D-Wash.). Federal employees hired in 2013 are required to contribute 3.1 percent of their salaries toward their pensions, while federal workers on board prior to that contribute 0.8 percent toward their defined-benefit pensions. FERS employees also contribute to Social Security.
Ryan's proposed 2015 budget would also eliminate the special supplemental payment for FERS employees who retire the age of 62 and aren't eligible for Social Security payments yet.
10% workforce cuts, elimination of student loan repayment
All told, these proposals would save about $125 billion over 10 years, according to Ryan's projections and would also "help facilitate a transition to a defined contribution system for new federal employees that would give them more control over their own retirement security," according to the budget.
The Ryan budget also includes savings by reducing the size of the federal workforce by 10 percent through attrition. The budget blueprint would limit agencies to hiring one employee for every three who leave government service.
The budget also seeks to phase out the option for federal agencies to repay their employees' student loans. Several agencies, such as the departments of Defense, State and Justice offer to repay employees' student loans in certain circumstances as a recruitment and retention incentive. Overall, in 2012, the last year for which data is available, 35 different agencies repaid a total of $70.3 million in loans for some 10,500 employees.
The Ryan budget for 2015 makes no mention of federal pay. Previous versions of the budget proposal contended federal employees were overpaid compared to their private-sector counterparts and called for extending the federal pay freeze, initially authorized for two years, to five years.
The White House budget, released last month, takes a different tack on federal-employee benefits. The White House, in its fiscal 2015 proposal, supports a slight 1 percent pay raise for federal employees for the second year in a row. The President's budget also omitted proposals requiring federal employees to contribute more toward their retirements and to shrink retirees' annual cost-of-living adjustments by switching to a new formula. Both of those were included in last year's budget release but left out of the current one.

An Extraordinary Theory of Objects: A Memoir of an Outsider in Paris
An Extraordinary Theory of Objects: A Memoir of an Outsider in Paris (Hardcover)
A haunting and moving collection of original narratives that reveals an expatriate's coming-of-age in Paris and the magic she finds in ordinary objects
An awkward, curious girl growing up in a foreign country, Stephanie LaCava finds solace and security in strange yet beautiful objects.
When her father's mysterious job transports her and her family to the quaint Parisian suburb of Le Vésinet, everything changes for the young American. Stephanie sets out to explore her new surroundings and to make friends at her unconventional international school, but her curiosity soon gives way to feelings of anxiety and a deep depression.
In her darkest moments, Stephanie learns to filter the world through her peculiar lens, discovering the uncommon, uncelebrated beauty in what she finds. Encouraged by her father through trips to museums and scavenger hunts at antique shows, she traces an interconnected web of narratives of long-ago outsiders, and of objects historical and natural, that ultimately help her survive.
A series of illustrated essays that unfolds in cinematic fashion, An Extraordinary Theory of Objects offers a universal lesson—to harness the power of creativity to cope with loneliness, sadness, and disappointment to find wonder in the uncertainty of the future.
About the Author
Stephanie LaCava is a writer working in New York and Paris. Raised in France, she attended Colgate University. Her work has appeared in T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Vogue, and other print and online publications, including the Paris Review and Tin House. She posts striking photographs and words daily on her Web site, which she refers to as a phantom cabinet of curiosities.
Praise for An Extraordinary Theory of Objects: A Memoir of an Outsider in Paris…
"This captivating, wonderfully strange little book is like no other I've ever read. Stephanie LaCava has created something original and true, at once emotionally resonant and intellectually challenging. A sheer delight."
-Dani Shapiro, author of Devotion and Slow Motion
"What cleverly fills the honeycomb of LaCava's own story is a compassionate, evocative biography of seemingly aberrant things and a collection of historical anecdotes that most readers would never otherwise learn, let alone find gathered all together in one small (but not diminishing), deliberate, and careful book."

The aorta is the main artery in the heart. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body. Aortic coarctation is the narrowing of the aorta. This slows or blocks blood flow. It is often associated with other heart and vascular conditions. Examples include abnormal heart valves or aneurysms, which can lead to further health problems.
Aortic coarctation is a congenital heart defect. This means that it is present at birth. It occurs because of a problem with the way the aorta develops while the fetus is growing in the womb.
Risk Factors
Risk factors include:
- Gender: male
- Turner syndrome (genetic disorder)
- Other heart defects
If your child's condition is severe, he will have symptoms of impaired blood flow at birth. If aortic coarctation is not treated, it can lead to heart failure .
If this condition is not detected when your child is a baby, he may have these symptoms during childhood, such as:
- Heart murmur
- High blood pressure in the arms
- A weak pulse in the legs
- Cold legs and feet
- Shortness of breath, especially with exercise
- Legs that are underdeveloped, but better developed arms
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Chest pain
These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. If your child has any of these, talk to the doctor.
If your child's condition is not detected at birth, the doctor will ask about his symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will also be done. Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Chest x-ray —a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the chest
- MRI of the heart—a test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of structures inside the heart
- CT scan of the heart—a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the heart
- Echocardiogram —a test that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to examine the size, shape, and motion of the heart
- Cardiac catheterization (rarely needed)—a tube-like instrument inserted into the heart through a vein or artery (usually in the arm or leg) to detect problems with the heart and its blood supply
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment depends on your child's age and how severe the condition is.
Treatment for Newborns
Your newborn will need treatment right away. An IV medicine (given through a vein) called prostaglandin may be given. This drug helps keep blood flowing to all parts of the body. Other medicines may also be used to improve how the heart contracts. One of the most common surgeries involves removing the narrow section of the aorta and reconnecting the two "good" ends.
Treatment for Children
Your child may need to take water pills to reduce fluid retention. Depending on your child's condition, the doctor may also recommend surgery. Some of the options include:
- Resection of the narrowed area in the aorta (the same type of surgery used in infants)
- Subclavian flap aortoplasty—involves using a patch or part of the artery to make the area larger
- Balloon angioplasty —involves using a balloon to widen the narrowed area
It is important to note that there will always be a risk, even into adulthood, of the development of other cardiovascular conditions.

Here's a "quick" listing of shows that won't be back for the 2010 — 2011 TV season. If your favorite is on the list, you have our condolences. If they're not, keep your fingers crossed that they won't soon be joining this little obituary column.
This list encompasses shows that have been cancelled from June 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010. In some cases, the last episode of a show aired months before that time but the network didn't get around to canceling it until later. If you don't see what you're looking for, try the 2008 — 2009 page or maybe you've gotten lucky!
