Obama takes a hard line on fiscal cliff
Michael Wirtz / The Philadelphia Inquirer
President Barack Obama looks at a toy rollercoaster with K'Nex factory officials in Hatfield, Pa., on Friday. Obama spoke at the company about how middle class Americans would see their taxes go up if Congress fails to act to extend the middle class tax cuts.
The relationship between the two most powerful men in Washington, who together will effectively decide the fate of negotiations over the feared "fiscal cliff," has broken down badly since the heady days 17 months ago when they shared a golf course.
Obama's 14-minute speech at a toy manufacturing company here amounted to a verbal poke in the eye, warning that taxes will go up without a plan -- and likening Boehner and other Republicans to one of the most reviled figures of the holiday season.
"That's sort of like the lump of coal you get for Christmas," Obama said at K'NEX, the maker of Tinkertoys. "That's a Scrooge Christmas."
Boehner, R-Ohio, fired back less than an hour later on Capitol Hill, saying House Republicans had reached a "stalemate" with the White House. "It's not a serious proposal," he said of Obama's plan.
Antagonistic tone
The increasingly antagonistic tone has stoked fears in Washington and on Wall Street that an inability to compromise, or even communicate, could lead the country over the fiscal cliff, a series of automatic tax increases and spending cuts that are to take effect in January. Economists have warned that the measures could jolt the economy back toward recession.
Any political negotiation involves a good deal of bluster, particularly in Washington. Such discussions often involve a period of theatrical posturing, even as staffers continue to hammer out specifics behind closed doors. Both sides also have reason to play to their respective constituencies, even if some level of compromise is inevitable.
White House advisers point to the president's conversations with Boehner -- including a 28-minute phone call Wednesday -- as evidence that they are still on speaking terms and that Obama is not trying to bypass Congress.
But Obama's trip to Pennsylvania signaled that the administration is fully committed to a much tougher and more aggressive approach in dealing with congressional Republicans on the eve of a second term. The president's advisers believe he has no choice but to play hardball with the GOP after the gridlock of the past two years, and they are confident that Obama holds the upper hand with the public, given his solid election victory and the strong support found in polls for higher taxes on the richest Americans.
Obama, who generally avoids schmoozing even his closest allies, invited Rep. Allyson Y. Schwartz, D-Pa., to accompany him on Air Force One. He visited a decidedly purple political county, where several Republican House members might be susceptible to public pressure to get behind Obama's proposals. And he was touring a company whose chief executive said he supports Obama's tax plan even though it would raise federal rates on the factory.
Obama playfully suggested that he would be keeping score once he was back at the White House.
"Naughty and nice"
"I've been keeping my own naughty and nice lists for Washington," Obama told the crowd at the toy factory. "So you should keep your eye on who gets K'NEX this year. There are going to be some members of Congress who get them, and some who don't."
The message was heard loud and clear on Capitol Hill, where House Republicans have opposed Obama's demand that the George W. Bush-era tax cuts expire for net household income over $250,000 a year to help pay down the $16.3 trillion national debt.
GOP leaders have said they are willing to accept some new revenues, perhaps in the form of a cap on tax deductions and loopholes, as long as Obama accepts cuts to spending programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
"The impression everyone's gotten is that he's sort of still in campaign mode," Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said of Obama. "He believes he can get 100 percent of what he wants and is therefore not required to negotiate and has presented a sort of take-it-or-leave-it proposition."
Obama has told associates that he personally likes Boehner, but their relationship has soured since the breakdown of the debt ceiling negotiations in 2011 that led to the nation's first-ever credit rating downgrade. Obama thought they had reached agreement on a "grand bargain" of spending cuts and revenue increases.
Both sides have said they felt betrayed when the deal fell apart. Obama concluded that he could no longer trust Boehner to deliver votes from the tea party wing of his conference, and the White House switched to a more aggressive approach.
Boehner has been to the White House three times since, according to his office. The most recent was Nov. 16, when Obama met with Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
The five leaders expressed optimism that day, but they did not specify common ground on the key sticking points, including taxes.
Earlier this week, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner delivered a proposal to lawmakers that included $4.5 billion in reduced borrowing over the next decade. Administration officials said Friday that Obama is also proposing to delay automatic spending cuts through Aug. 1 to give Congress a limited amount of time to hatch a deal.
The overall savings figure includes about $1.2 trillion in savings already in force as part of previous spending agreements with the Republican House, plus $1.6 trillion in fresh revenue from the expiration of the Bush high-end tax cuts and other sources. Another $1.2 billion would come from a rewrite of the tax code and Medicare and Medicaid reforms, officials said.
Nonstarter, GOP says
Boehner and other Republicans characterized the Obama proposal as a nonstarter.
"What you see is what you get," Boehner said Friday. "And while I may be affable and someone that can work with members of both parties, which I've demonstrated over the 22 years that I've been here, I'm also rather determined to solve our spending problem and to solve this looming debt crisis that is about to consume us."
The GOP has long groused that Obama has shied from the kind of informal social interactions or frequent cross-aisle communications that could help grease deals. Republicans say there's been no thawing since his reelection.
But White House press secretary Jay Carney scoffed at the idea that Obama has sidestepped Boehner during the talks. "There were a lot of meetings, a lot of conversations," Carney said. "But the president also, very appropriately, went out into the country to make sure that the American people were engaged in this and that their voices were heard in this kind of debate. And that's what he's doing again because that's how it should be."

Beautiful !
Just back from le Palais Garnier, the premier of Juliette et Romeo. What a disaster! A choreographic insult. Shame, shame, shame. An insult to the people of France, le Palais Garnier, and Tchaikowsky. The dancers were obedient to a demented choreographer...who appeared at the curtain call looking like a homeless street person...no respect for the audience who came from worlds away, properly dressed as the venue and common sense dictate, having paid top prices to be present. Sweden should offer apology from the Crown on down for such a dismal, dismal, horrible interpretation and presentation. From Amsterdam, New York, Rome, Sydney.. We all are very, very disappointed.

Launched in December 1961, OSCAR 1 (Orbiting Satellites Carrying Amateur Radio) was the world's first non-governmental satellite. Built by a group of California based amateur radio operators for only 63 dollars, OSCAR I operated for nearly 20 days, testing radio reception from space. During that time, thousands of radio operators in 28 different countries detected the satellite's simple "hi-hi" morse code message.
OSCAR 1 marked the beginning of a program that continues to this day, under the auspices of the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (known officially as AMSAT) which operates approximately 20 OSCAR satellites as of the year 2000. The program has sparked innovations in spacecraft design and manufacture and enabled radio enthusiasts to participate in satellite communications.
The Museum's artifact is a scale model of the Oscar 1 spacecraft, donated by Project Oscar to the Museum in 1963.

Understanding Responses to Contradictory Information about Products
2011, Marketing Science
Ajay Kalra, Shibo Li, Wei Zhang
While prior literature has examined reactions to drastic negative news, we examine the situation how decision makers receive contradictory information about products where they have to decide whether to persist or abandon product usage. We investigate physician reactions to conflicting information concerning cardiovascular risk of Avandia, a diabetes drug. We examine how beliefs both about drug effectiveness and drug safety are updated speculating that experience, expertise and self-efficacy impacts how such information is integrated with current quality beliefs. Unlike previous Bayesian learning models, we consider that some signals like positive and negative news releases and the firm's marketing effort may be biased in that they provide an opinionated point of view. The results show interesting differences in how physician types (specialists, hospital-based PCPs, heavy and light prescribers) update their beliefs and information sources they use to do so. We find evidence that safety issue about Avandia resulted in spillover concern to close competitor Actos. The results have implication for determining who should be targeted and what vehicles should be used if a firm is faced with a situation where consumers are in a quandary due to receiving conflicting messages.

Series: Saturday Science Links (23 entries)
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
If God created the universe, what created God?
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?

The Changing Face of Evolutionary Theory?
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
Learning to Celebrate Creation Together
We need safe places in which to raise the complex issues of submitting wholeheartedly to the authority of God's Word in the Scriptures while wrestling with the important findings and perspectives in the natural sciences.
From the Archives: Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 1
From 2012: The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
From the Archives: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople, Part 1
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.
From the Dust: Evolutionary Creation
From the archives: With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
A Biologist's Perspective
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.

Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution" (13 entries)
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."

What you should know
I've always had a strong affinity for bacon. At the present moment, I am campaigning for these delicious slices of pig. Bacon shouldn't need PR or any form of strategic marketing. After all, it is bacon. It cooks in it's own fat! Does it get any better than that? I think not.
But, for some reason, I feel the need to represent bacon and its unyielding greatness. First of all, it tastes magical. This we know. Fact. But did you know that bacon is good for you? That's right, bacon is good for you. It helps prevent prostate and breast cancer, strengthens the immune system, fights off hepatitis, prevents the development of cataracts, improves metabolism, and helps maintain a healthy nervous system. Even alcoholics and smokers can benefit from bacon!
How could this be possible? Well, bacon is an excellent source of selenium, thiamin and B12.
Selenium activates an antioxidant enzyme called glutathione peroxidase, which may help protect the body from cancer. Yeast-derived forms of selenium have induced "apoptosis" (programmed cell death) in cancer cells in test tubes and in animals. A double-blind trial that included over 1,300 people found those given 200 mcg of yeast-based selenium per day for 4.5 years had a 50% drop in the cancer death rate compared with the placebo group. Another study found that men consuming the most dietary selenium (assessed indirectly by measuring toenail selenium levels) developed 65% fewer cases of advanced prostate cancer than did men with the lowest levels of selenium intake.
Selenium is also essential for healthy immune function. Selenium supplementation has reduced the incidence of viral hepatitis in selenium-deficient populations, presumably by enhancing immune function. Even in a non-deficient population of elderly people, selenium supplementation has been found to stimulate the activity of white blood cells—primary components of the immune system. Selenium is also needed to activate thyroid hormones.
In a double-blind trial, selenium supplementation of infertile men improved the motility of sperm cells and increased the chance of conception.
Thiamine works with the other B vitamins to change protein, carbohydrate, and fat to energy. It is especially vital for changing carbohydrates to energy. It is a key factor in the healthy functioning of all the body's cells, especially the nerves. Vitamin B1 helps the body cells convert carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for the functioning of the heart, muscles, and nervous system.
Supplemental thiamin can help protect against some of the metabolic imbalances caused by heavy alcohol consumption. It may help protect against Wernicke's encephalopathy and some other forms of brain damage seen in some alcoholics.
Vitamin B12 may help restrain pre-cancerous lung conditions in smokers. It also might help improve neuropsychiatric disorder symptoms in those with HIV and chronic fatigue. Breast cancer and some vascular diseases might be prevented by vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12 works with folate to create building blocks for RNA and DNA synthesis and the synthesis of molecules that help maintain the proper functioning of the genome. The vitamin also helps the nervous system function properly and aides in molecule synthesis involved in energy production and in fatty acid biosynthesis.
So come on people, jump on the bandwagon and get bacon in your corner. You can find it at your local grocery store, or around the belly of your neighbor's oink oink. If you opt for the grocery store, I suggest the center cut. None of that maple sh*t. You can always put syrup on it later.

|Introduction | Canon EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM lens performance | Canon EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM versus competition | Conclusion
In terms of outright performance, the EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM lens from Canon is right at the top of the tree. Along with the Mark II version, it ranks as the best performing long focal length lens ever tested by DxOMark. When mated to an EOS 5D Mark II, it ranks as one of the top five sharpest lenses, only beaten by its Mark II version and much shorter focal length lenses.
In terms of resolution across the frame, the lens is very homogenous. In other words there is no real drop off from the centre to the edges of the frame. No matter what aperture you choose to shoot at, be it wide-open at f/2.8 or stopped down to f/11 the lens performs almost identically. It's only when the aperture is really closed down, beyond f/11, that the quality can start to drop of. Even so, by f/32, although the quality has fallen, the sharpness is still even right across the frame.
Lens vignetting, while not perfect, is also well controlled. At the maximum aperture there is a slight tendency to vignette at the edges, showing a drop of 0.3EV 40% out from the centre and -1EV at the very edges. At f/4, the vignetting is reduced further still, showing a drop of -0.3EV 84% of the way from the centre and -0.5EV at the very edges. From f/5.6 onwards, there is no measurable vignetting anywhere across the frame.
The other major areas of lens performance also produce very good results. At every aperture, Chromatic aberration is very well controlled leading to almost completely homogenous field maps right across the frame – put simply, there is none that is appreciably measurable or that would be strongly visible in a final image.
Equally, the distortion is also very well controlled. Long lenses are usually susceptible to pin cushion distortion where straight lines will appear to curve inwards slightly. However, there is no such distortion here, even out to the very edges of the frame.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

There are several incorrections in the review. For example sharpness (P-Mpix) score is confused with overall DXomark Score.
For example:
Attached to the APS-C sensored EOS 7D, the EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM once again puts in a strong performance, scoring 16.7P-Mpix, relative to the EOS 7D's resolution of 18megapixels. Equally, the Pentax lens scores very well, managing 15.0P-Mpix compared to the 16.3megapixels available on the K-5. Overall, this shows the EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM is as good as it's made out to be, but in this comparison, the Pentax on a K-5 is not that far behind.
EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM + 7D =11P-Mpix not 16.7P-Mpix as mentioned.
DA Star 300mm f/4 ED (IF) SDM + Pentax K-5=only 7P-Mpix not 15.

Re: incorrections
There was indeed a mistake.
This part was only talking about DxOMark score.
Thanks a lot for letting us know, it should now be corrected.

Furthermore in the [url=http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/With-new-STM-technology-does-Canon-s-updated-18-135mm-still-deliver/Comparisons]review[/url] of Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-f5.6 IS STM lens
In comparison section:
Tested on the flagship APS-C DSLRs from Canon and Nikon, the 7D and D7000, these two Super Zooms achieve remarkably similar results. Overall we can say they're the same optically although the Nikon version hits a DxOMark Score of 13 just nudging out the Canon with 12.
The screenshot shows us not D7000 but D300 with the score 10 not 13 as mentioned.

Bachelet: Chile left's hope in presidential vote
SANTIAGO, Chile Michelle Bachelet has a deep resume: daughter of a general tortured to death for opposing a coup, leftist exile during the ensuing bloody dictatorship, pediatrician, Cabinet member, mother, president, head of the U.N. women's agency.
Now she's coming back home after her stint at the United Nations, and if Chile's left has its way, she will add another item to that list: savior.
Bachelet, 62, who announced her return Friday night, is widely seen as the center-left opposition's only hope of winning the Nov. 17 presidential election and taking power back from the conservative establishment ushered in when Sebastian Pinera won the presidency in 2010 after she left office.
The popularity of this Andean country's only woman president is high. She ended her presidential term with nearly 80 percent approval ratings. And a recent poll by CEP Estudios Publicos consultancy said if the elections were to be held today she would easily win the presidency with 54 percent of the votes.
In announcing the end of her work at the U.N., Bachelet said only that she was going back to Chile and gave no specifics on timing.
She also did not mention the presidential race despite intense pressure in Chile for her to make her plans known - although there is a widespread expectation that she will run.
Her silence has frustrated not only her opponents but especially her sympathizers.
"We don't have a plan B. I'm serious. In the opposition we're just not prepared for a negative response from Bachelet," said Jaime Quintana, president of the Liberal Party for Democracy, one of the parties in the center-left coalition.
Whoever runs will have to be ready to tackle mounting social demands and frequent protests that already troubled Bachelet during her presidency and have harried Pinera even more. Pinera is the most unpopular president since Chile returned to democracy in 1990 after the dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet.
Chile is respected for its fast-growing economy and transparent institutions. The country has continued to grow under Pinera and enjoys a record-low jobless rate. But it also has the worst inequality rate among the 34 countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Millions of Chileans have participated in protests demanding a wider distribution of Chile's copper riches, free education and the return of ancestral lands to Mapuche Indians in a southern region where members of Chile's largest indigenous group often clash with timber companies and landowners.
Most Chileans also oppose plans to tame two of the world's wildest rivers and build more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) of power lines between them and the grid that powers the capital. Some mass marches against the $7 billion HydroAysen project have turned violent in energy-strapped Chile.
"During Bachelet's government and Pinera's administration there was a huge shift in Chile when it comes to development," said Marta Lagos, head of the Santiago-based polling firm Mori.
She noted per-capita income has surged since Bachelet was elected in 2006 and said Chileans widely feel the country has risen into the ranks of the developed world although many people are still poor.

Preparation for the Ceiling Fan
Begin by turning off the power at the panel or by unscrewing the fuse in older systems. Never trust the switch. Remove the existing light fixture. Since each fan may be different, refer to the installation guide included in the fan kit.
Consider using a fan support unit that can be inserted through the existing metal junction box hole. Do not install a ceiling fan to a plastic box since it will not be strong enough. Always use a metal junction box to support a ceiling fan. If your fan is heavier than 35 pounds, you will need to secure your fan via a beam or other support, not a junction box.
Install the hook or hanging support and hang the housing unit. If the fan requires a hanger pipe, thread wires through the pipe. Attach the pipe to the box and fan per manufacturer's instructions.

The best half of Bulls rugby of the season set the platform for victory at Loftus.
Three first half tries and 27 unanswered points at the break set the Bulls up for a 48 – 14 win over the Hurricanes.
It was three tries on each side of half time that resulted in a great victory for the Bulls, putting them back at number one spot on the South African log. Their spot was temporarily occupied by the Cheetahs, who received four points for their bye weekend.
The Bulls put on a masterful first half, dominating the Canes in the set pieces, Line-outs were a nightmare for the men from Wellington, Flip van der Merwe and Juandre Kruger stealing multiple balls on their throw. Even though two of the tries scored were intercepts, the Bulls were dominant in both territory and possession stats, playing all the rugby.
A quick double from TJ Perenara after half time looked to breath life into the Canes team, but they failed to kick on from that. The Bulls defended well and hit back with three tries to end the match comfortable winners.
The turning point in the match was Conrad Smith being knocked out by JJ Engelbrecht, which led to the Canes side being rudderless for the rest of the game. Their long passes, which resulted in two intercept tries, were risky and only put pressure on themselves.
Stand outs for the Bulls were Chiliboy Ralepelle, the locks van der Merwe and Kruger, while Steyn again proved that he is still the best in the country. Jurgen Visser was solid at the back while JJ Engelbrecht was huge in midfield, linking well with the returning Wynand Olivier.
The Bulls seem to be the only South African team left with a chance of reaching the play-offs. The Cheetahs are still in a position to surprise all and sundry, but a few results will have to go their way if that is to be the case.
The Hurricanes complete their tour of South Africa in Bloemfontein while the Bulls enjoy a bye next weekend.
Bulls: 48 (27)
Tries: JJ Engelbrecht, Deon Stegmann, Akona Ndungane, Dean Greyling, Lionel Mapoe, Louis Fouche
Conversions: Morne Steyn (4), Louis Fouche (1)
Penalties: Morne Steyn (2)
Hurricanes: 14 (0)
Tries: TJ Perenara (2)
Conversions: Beauden Barrett (2)

"I enjoy trying cases and as the district attorney you try very few cases," he said.
'Use our positions to help the community'
"We never had a harsh word," he said. "It wasn't about him, it wasn't about me, it was about the overall objective. We had the same goal to use our positions to help protect the community."
"He is an extremely detailed prosecutor," she said. "He taught me from (the) simplest possession of cocaine case all the way up to murder ... pay attention to detail, that's going to hear you through."
Even after his retirement, Kirby-Turner said Young would call her and check in to see how a case was going.
Young said other than a stint in the Navy and his college years, he has been a lifelong Shelby resident.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To screen for or monitor liver disorders or hemolytic anemia
When to Get Tested?
If your doctor thinks that you have signs or symptoms of liver damage, liver disease, bile duct blockage, hemolytic anemia, or a liver-related metabolic problem; if a newborn has jaundice
Sample Required?
In adults, a blood sample drawn from a vein in the arm; in newborns, a blood sample from a heelstick; non-invasive technology is available in some health care facilities that will measure bilirubin by using an instrument placed on the skin (transcutaneous bilirubin meter)
Test Preparation Needed?
Fasting requirements vary by laboratory; ask your lab or health care provider for instructions.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Bilirubin is an orange-yellow pigment, a waste product primarily produced by the normal breakdown of heme, a substance found mainly in the protein hemoglobin in red blood cells (RBCs). It is ultimately processed by the liver to allow its elimination from the body. This test measures the amount of bilirubin in the blood in order to evaluate liver function or to help diagnose anemia caused by the increased destruction of RBCs (hemolytic anemia).
RBCs normally degrade after about 120 days in the circulation. As the heme in hemoglobin is broken down, it is converted into bilirubin; this form is also called unconjugated bilirubin. Unconjugated bilirubin is not very soluble in water, so it is carried by proteins to the liver, where sugars are attached (conjugated) to it to form water-soluble conjugated bilirubin. This conjugated bilirubin enters the bile and passes from the liver to the small intestines, where it is further broken down by bacteria and eventually eliminated in the stool. The breakdown products of bilirubin give stool its characteristic brown color.
Approximately 250 to 350 mg of bilirubin is produced daily in a normal, healthy adult, of which 85% is derived from damaged or degraded red cells, with the remaining amount from the bone marrow or liver. Normally, small amounts of unconjugated bilirubin are released into the blood, but virtually no conjugated bilirubin is present. Both forms can be measured or estimated by laboratory tests, and a total bilirubin (a sum of these) may also be reported. The pattern of results from these tests can give the doctor information as to the condition that may be present.
If the bilirubin level increases in the blood, a person may appear jaundiced, with a yellowing of the skin and/or whites of the eyes. Elevated unconjugated bilirubin may mean that too much is being produced, usually due to increased destruction (hemolysis) of RBCs, or that the liver is incapable of processing bilirubin due to liver diseases such as cirrhosis or inherited problems. Elevated conjugated bilirubin may indicate that the liver can process bilirubin but it is not adequately removed in a timely manner due to acute hepatitis or blockage of bile ducts.
It is not uncommon to see high total and unconjugated bilirubin levels in newborns, typically 1 to 3 days old. This is sometimes called physiologic jaundice of the newborn and is due to immaturity of the newborn's liver. This situation usually resolves itself within a few days. In hemolytic disease of the newborn, RBCs may be destroyed because of blood incompatibilities between the baby and the mother, and treatment may be needed because high levels of unconjugated bilirubin can cause damage to the newborn's brain.
A rare (about 1 in 10,000 births) but life-threatening congenital condition called biliary atresia can cause increased total and conjugated bilirubin levels in newborns and must be quickly detected and treated, usually with surgery, to prevent serious liver damage (cirrhosis) that may require liver transplantation within the first year or two of life. Even after surgery, some children still may require liver transplantation.
How is the sample collected for testing?
For adults, blood is typically collected by needle from a vein in the arm. In newborns, blood is often collected from a heelstick, a technique that uses a small, sharp blade to cut the skin on the infant's heel and collect a few drops of blood into a small tube. Non-invasive technology is available in some health care facilities that will measure bilirubin by using an instrument placed on the skin (transcutaneous bilirubin meter).
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?
Fasting requirements vary by laboratory. Ask your lab or health care provider for instructions. You may need to fast (nothing but water) for several hours before the test.

GSA looks to build up Federal Triangle South, consolidate FBI headquarters
Tuesday - 12/4/2012, 1:51pm EST
By Katie Howard
Federal News Radio
The General Services Administration is shopping ideas on how to revamp a large group of federal buildings in the Federal Triangle South area near Southwest Washington's L'Enfant Plaza, and is looking to commercial Realtors for guidance. The agency is also brainstorming how to consolidate the current Federal Bureau of Investigation's headquarters.
GSA has issued two Requests for Information (RFIs) for both development projects in the Washington, D.C., area — part of the Obama administration's effort to reduce federal real estate holdings.
The first RFI concerns the buildings within the Federal Triangle South area including the Agriculture Department's Cotton Annex, Energy Department's Forrestal Complex, Federal Aviation Administration's Orville and Wilbur Wright Buildings, and GSA's Regional Office Building.
GSA said it is aligning its vision for Federal Triangle South with the National Capital Planning Commission's Southwest EcoDistrict, which is a sustainable community that stretches from the National Mall down to the Southwest Waterfront.
The GSA project also seeks ways to reduce costs and overhaul any outdated and underutilized assets of a number of federal buildings, develop green facilities and encourage the mixed-use and improved infrastructure of government facilities.
The second RFI seeks responses from the development community on exchanging the old J. Edgar Hoover Building built in 1974 and current home of the FBI for a new, space-efficient headquarters. The building, which sits on a 2.4-million-square-foot facility, is overcrowded, according to GSA.
"GSA is aggressively working to find new and innovative ways to save money and increase efficiency," said GSA Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini. "An exchange of the FBI headquarters not only saves money, but it also promotes efficiency by consolidating staff into a single state-of-the-art facility, shrinking the federal real estate footprint and eliminating multiple leases."
Tangherlini added that these requests will contribute to a "more sustainable neighborhood by creating opportunities for development, while at the same time saving taxpayer dollars by redeveloping outdated and underutilized properties."
The entire National Capital Region, including D.C., Maryland and Virginia, is under consideration for the agency's potentially new location. In turn, GSA points out that the J. Edgar Hoover Building, steps from the White House, is located in a prime location for other companies. The building sits on 6.7 acres of land and is zoned for office, retail, housing, mixed-use and public buildings.
All interested parties for both RFIs should submit responses by Feb. 4.

Poor Gerry V, reduced to eating baloney and sock sandwiches.
Wish you were part of the TV broadcast.
Thought i would reach out and see if any of you guys have any spare food layin around? Don't need much,just enough t nibble on.My run doing Hornets games is over..21 years of covering the NBA...over 16 years of talk radio...Also if you have any ole shoes and socks....and a pillow. Who knows what the future holds....just post what you can spare and we can make arrangements to pick it up.
Don't look for me to soften up and go my pudding on you,I'll still bust chops when needed,and express opinions.I was never here to run a popularity contest,just did my thing and let the chips fall where they fall.
Fans are fun to deal with,they make my world go 'round,so don't stop busting my chops either.
Now about that food.......
1-What does not move is dead.What has speed,and mobilty has more possibilities,more life...quickness creates luck.
2- Your Defense is only as good as your HELP/ROTATING defenders.
3-Games are won while the ball is in the air.
4- You design your roster to win a 7 game series not a one game confrontation.
Poor Gerry V, reduced to eating baloney and sock sandwiches.
Wish you were part of the TV broadcast.
good luck man
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Good Luck. Hope you are able to find another Sports gig here.
Wishing you good luck Gerry.
WE WANT V NOT JOHN D! WE WANT V NOT JOHN D! Good luck V man.
No socks or baloney, but there is some free gravel here: http://neworleans.craigslist.org/zip/
Good luck, though.
I thought the donations made from this site were going into your 401k? Please tell me you didn't use that for the facebook IPO release =/
On a serious note V, Good luck, you were one of the few who responded to the fans and looked beyond the obvious numbers.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
Looking to stay in NOLA,family was born and raised here,don't want to get my assed kicked.
Wishing you the best, V.
Big fan.

It would be a tragedy if Fletcher can work in this town but Gerry can't!
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Gerry - I've been listening to you since I was 11 years old in the early 90's as a kid in Charlotte, NC. You, Gil, and Steve Martin are the voices that brought me to love the Hornets and still do 24 years later. Hopefully Gil can join Steve back in Charlotte when the Bobcats become the Hornets again and hopefully you will always be connected to this franchise, no matter the location, name or ownership.
Here's to you Gerry V!
I love the Hornets, but now am all on board with the PELS.... Geaux Pelicans!
V got me actually interested in listening to talk radio. So much that his show was the first I have ever called into. Someone better hire you for a sports job around town, Gerry. You are too good for us to lose to another city.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2
V, despite the recent announcements, I think there's really a huge void in solid basketball/sports talk around here. I hope you get a great opportunity.
And as far as food, I have some Manda roast beef slices in the fridge. It doesn't smell right, but I think it's still ok to eat.
Support Louisiana businesses.
We should start a "WE WANT GERRY V ON NOLA TV" protest!!!
Best of luck to you, Gerry. Hopefully, you get a good gig really soon. You are entertaining and talented.
You'll be fine Gerry V. I know you'll find a good gig. I'm just worried about the pizza you owe me.

Always enjoyed listening to you on my way home from work. You were very insightful and I'm sick to see that Deshaizer is taking your spot. good luck and thanks V.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Gorgeous fans/programs!
The fans/programs I ordered for my daughter's wedding were absolutely gorgeous! The quality was excellent, the design was beautiful and they were printed and shipped very quickly. I highly recommend Magnet Street for your printing needs.
Heart Shaped Fans
I found the site difficult to manipulate as there was definitely more print space available then the site allowed. I wish they offered multiple templates. That being said, the fans are beautiful and I am so happy with the end result.
Happy with the result
Turned out exactly as picture. Colors/personalization is pretty true to what you see on the computer. I used all the different shades of orange with black/white pictures - my wedding colors are grey with orange accents. I also changed almost all the fonts, especially our names, to ones I thought were cute. I think I used Mrs. Blackfoot regular?. Definitely take advantage of ordering 1 sample (it ends up being free). I tweaked a couple little things once I saw it in person and am much much happier with the result than I would've been.
Love the personalization and the options; quality could be a little better
The look of the guest card and other invitation items is amazing! MagnetStreet has a lot of fonts and colors to choose from, as well as provide you with the opportunity to really make an individualized invite. However, I feel that the quality of the paper/card stock used could be a little better. I first ordered Premium Smooth as samples and then decided on Fine Linen. Texture is the same, except that the Fine Linen has subtle sketched lines in the background. I had to examine both items closely to distinguish between the two once I received our final product.
Great Choice
I found Magnet Street on the The Knot and thurns out it was the best decision. My Save the Date magnets are just what I wanted. The personal touch I was able to give them was awesome. The site is very user friendly and I will be back to do the program and invitation!

Charlie is taken into custody in Aspen where his mug shot was taken.
Charlie was held in this Aspen jail.
On February 5, 2010 Charlie Sheen's car was found crashed roughly 100 feet over a cliff in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles. Police say Sheen reported his Mercedes Benz SUV stolen.
In April 2010 news of his infidelity with model Angelina Tracy started to emerge.
He then infamously shaved his head sparking rumors that he did it to avoid drug testing via his hair follicles.
In June Charlie's wife Brooke Mueller checks herself into rehab at the Two Dreams Outer Banks facility in Corolla, North Carolina.
But, in August Charlie Sheen was back to his old ways again, partying at the Playboy mansion and reportedly drinking again.
By May2, 2010 his car was found thrown down a ditch...again. Two cars in less than six months.
In August Charlie attended court in Aspen for his 2009 Christmas domestic violence case. He copped a plea and agreed to go back to rehab in order to avoid further jail time.
Charlie tried to get back on his feet and spend some quality time with his family in NYC, but as we all know, that didnt work out and he ended up hospitalized, involved with hookers and accused of cocaine use.
Check out Charlie Sheen's difficult year.

Spotted today in an email to a language teaching list. Google throws up quite a few examples too.
crooks and nannies, too (though that's probably mostly a spoonerism.)
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
Crooks looks like it could be a squash between cracks and nooks, with the felicitous connection to the crook of an arm.
Here's where it was spotted: Someone (I think American) talking about cleaning all the dust out of computers before the weather gets really hot and humid. It was on an email list for English language teachers.
Just turn the machine off, unplug it, unscrew a couple screws on the back and pop/slide off an access panel. Use the straw that comes with the canned air to get into the crooks and crannies. Be sure to give any of the little fans you see a good shot and make sure their screens are clean and can provide lots of ventilation for the coming hot and humid months.

The "crook in the arm"/"crooked finger"/"shepherd's crook"/"crooked road* source would seem more obvious and likely though. In that case the crush might well be felicitous.
I not only believe in this eggcorn, I think I may have uttered it. "Crooks and crannies," though obviously misshapen on deeper consideration, sounds right to me.
So, is it in or out of the database?
The link between the Eggcorn Forum and the Eggcorn Database has been tenuous in recent years—not very many of the eggcorns found by the Forum, even the best ones, cross over to the Database.
At the end of each year we try to compile a list of the best Eggcorn Forum entries. , for example, was our "best of 2010" discussion. You might look at the posts just after the first of the year and see what the regulars to the Forum think about "crooks and crannies."
I see. Thank you for that – will do.

Our mission is to inspire people to travel by mountain bike in order to explore the rural regions of Southern Thailand, meet the locals, enjoy the fresh air and of course, to discover themselves. Our cycling routes are mostly offroad, not on paved roads. Anyone can get a map and find a way from point 'A' to point 'B'. Linking long routes together on trails requires a lot of research. This is what we do and this is part of what separates us from the rest and this is what we offer you.
Southern Thailand mountain biking is still somewhat in it infancy. There is so much to explore that it would take a lifetime just to scratch the surface.
Plus, there is a lot of wonderfully different terrain to explore by mountain bike in southern Thailand. Although Thailand has been in the mass tourism spotlight for quite some time, there are still plenty of places to cycle and not see any of the downsides that tourism can bring to a region. In other words, there are still plenty of places near the over-developed places that are very worth visiting. That's where we'll take you. That's where you'll still be able to experience the world-famous Thai hospitality, authentic Thai food, the tropical jungle and verdant farmland.
Smiles and waves are plentiful as you cycle through rural Thailand. You will soon figure out why Thailand is called the "Land of Smiles". Bring your camera so you can share your experiences with your loved ones back home and so you can remember how much fun it was traveling by bike through the wonderland that is Southern Thailand.

DEEP RUN — Grant Tyndall can fly.
He's so fast he was never thrown out on the base paths this season. He's so fast perennial powerhouse Mount Olive College signed him. And he's so fast the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted him straight out of high school.
He's also so fast that The Free Press had to name him its 2013 Baseball Player of the Year.
Tyndall didn't have the area's highest batting average or drive in the most runs, but his one key skill is one that can't be taught and it's what gave teams fits all season.
He led South Lenoir with a .362 average and had a .486 on-base percentage as a lead-off man. Tyndall scored 18 runs and drove in 12, and had eight extra-base hits, including three triples and a home run. He walked 13 times, and was 19 for 19 in stolen bases.
He also hit .588 with runners in scoring position, which is exceptional for a leadoff man.
"There are so many good things to say about Grant Tyndall," first-year Blue Devils head coach David Combs said. "He's a great player, competitor and leader."
Combs inherited a young and inexperienced team, and he all but put it on Tyndall's back.
The Blue Devils were a contender in the East Central 2A Conference. They won 11 of their 21 games overall and went 8-6 in conference and finished fourth.
While Tyndall wasn't alone in the process, he was a big reason South Lenoir the success it did.
"He's done so much for our team this season," Combs said. "He's the ultimate team player."
Tyndall, who played in the Powerade State Games of N.C. last summer, began to get recognition last year for his potential.
He verbally accepted an offer as a walk-on at N.C. State in August, and has had major league scouts attending his games for quite some time.
The Pirates liked what they saw enough to make Tyndall just the sixth player in Lenoir County history to be drafted right out of high school since the first-year player draft began in 1965.
Pittsburgh took him in the 26th round at pick No. 779 overall.
"It's pretty amazing. It's a dream come true," Tyndall said a day after being drafted. "But it doesn't mean I can stop working."
Tyndall's work ethic is something his coaches can't — and won't — stop raving about.
"He works constantly and daily, and the other kids see that," Combs said. "It rubs off of the rest of them, which is a good thing."

Gary Panganiban and Adrian Lawson are part of the foundation Deutsch LA was built on. They're our IT lifeline.
Sixteen years of answering technical questions, giving out loner computers, setting up new computers, and keeping our servers updated and running. Not a small feat for an agency office of more now almost 600 people.
They just celebrated 15 and 16 years respectively.
Each year here at Deutsch LA, an anniversary gift magically lands on your desk on your hire date. Fifteen years entitles you to a bottle of Cristal and a Crystal flip-flop plaque in our Wall of Fame trophy case. Sixteen years earns you a guitar, personalized for the employee by the agency. We now recognize these milestones by presenting 10+ anniversaries in our monthly town hall meetings.
We wanted to ask them some questions and find out what makes these IT rock stars tick.
Gary Panganiban:
Q: How many people were employed when you started?
Gary: I believe I'm employee #00003 behind Mike and Jeffrey. I was freelancing for a few months before I accepted the full-time offer. This was my first job right out of college and Deutsch had about 90 employees and only one IT person.
Q: Why the guitar? Can you give us some background on your anniversary gift?
Gary: I don't know why the guitar. I don't play, but it was nice getting one. I've always wanted to play but was too lazy to buy one. I was given a one-year online class that I will take advantage of it.
Q: What do you like most about the DLA culture?
Gary: The people are great, and it's a fun place to work. I was one of the employees who started the Deutsch softball team back in 1999 or 2000. Also, I consider Deutsch my second family. I've spent a lot of good times here at Deutsch.
Q: If you weren't here, what would you like to do?
Gary: Travel. I've always wanted to take a year off and go backpacking across Europe and the U.S. Also, visit my homeland, the Philippines.
Adrian Lawson:
Q: How many employees were here in 2000, and what were you hired for?
Adrian: 130 people. I was hired because Gary was doing quarterly Mitsubishi road shows. He was tasked with setting up the presentations at the dealerships. The need was there to help with server and computer setup.
Q: When did you get your first computer?
Adrian: When I left LA Gear, I got an unexpected vacation check. I bought my first computer, an IBM Clone 486 with 66 MHZ. (Yes, there was unbridled pride in that answer.)
Q: What do you consider your IT superpower?
Adrian: I've always loved putting things together and figuring out how things work. I'm responsible for the server and maintaining the PCs in the building.
Q: What do you like most about the DLA culture?
Adrian: I like the relaxed, informal atmosphere here. No suits and ties.
Q: If you weren't here, what would you be doing?
Adrian: I'd still be doing IT somewhere. I discovered I enjoyed building my own furniture when we bought our home. I started with an end table and then moved on to the bed and just recently our fireplace mantle.
Thanks, gentlemen. Maybe for your 20th, DLA will give you a bejeweled computer.

The WTB Bronson 29er is the ultimate mountain biking tire for 29" wheels. The widely spaced linked tread tire takes charge in a broad range of conditions from dry hard packed to muddy. The Bronson's ramped center knobs roll fast while square- edged side blocks bite tenaciously at lean angles. The Race version is the lightest version weighing in at 700 grams, and features a 60 TPI casing.

Comments about WTB Bronson 29Er Race Folding Tire:
Ive only rode on these tires three times now, but they seem to hook up pretty well and definitely roll fast. If they keep holding up while running tubeless i'll definitely be back for more.
So far, so good.

Comments about WTB Bronson 29Er Race Folding Tire:
tire works great tubeless, rolls fast and has great traction in the corners and climbs, wears very good.only down side, it is little heavy at 715 grams each. it is a great do it all tire if you just had one tire to choose from.
Best Uses
Comments about WTB Bronson 29Er Race Folding Tire:
This is a great tire however it does not roll very fast on the trail. Coming from a WTB nano raptor this was a very big change in terms of how fast I could go and how easily I could pedal. That being said I have never had a puncture with this tire and I've never been scared during fast descent.
Best Uses
Comments about WTB Bronson 29Er Race Folding Tire:
Have ridden these a couple hundred miles in both hardpack and loose conditions in Colorado and Moab UT. Very happy with their cornering performance, much more bite in the corners than the Conti X-Kings I was running before. Tires seemed true to size and one weighed in about 20 grams light and the other about 20 grams over the stated 700 gram weight. Ramped center knobs seem to roll well and there is no "dead spot" when leaning into corners. If they hold up, and I see no reason they should not, these look like a winner.
