At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To assess the risk of a fetus having a chromosomal abnormality, such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) or Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18)
When to Get Tested?
Usually between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or a blood spot collected on special paper from a finger stick; a nuchal translucency requires a special ultrasound exam.
Test Preparation Needed?
You may be instructed to have a full bladder when having the nuchal translucency ultrasound performed.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
The first trimester screen is a combination of two blood tests and a special ultrasound that are used to assess a pregnant woman's risk of carrying a baby with Down syndrome (trisomy 21) or Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18). Performing and evaluating them together, along with the woman's age, increases both the sensitivity and specificity of the screening results.
- Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) is a protein produced first by the outer layer of the developing pregnancy (trophoblast) and then by the growing placenta. During a normal pregnancy, levels of this protein increase in the pregnant woman's blood until delivery.
- Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the developing pregnancy and then produced in large quantities by the placenta. Either free beta subunit or total hCG can be used in first trimester screening. Levels of both usually rise rapidly in the pregnant woman's circulation for the first 8 to 10 weeks, then decrease and stabilize at a lower level for the remainder of the pregnancy.
- Nuchal translucency is measurement made by ultrasound. The ultrasonagrapher measures the fluid collection between the spine and the skin at the nape of the fetus's neck. It is a procedure that requires a specially trained radiologist, proper alignment of the fetus, and careful measurement. It is not a routine ultrasound, and it is not a procedure that is available at every hospital or health facility.
If the results of first trimester screening are cause for concern, further screening tests (e.g., quad screen) or diagnostic tests (e.g., amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS)) may be recommended.
How is the sample collected for testing?
Blood is drawn from a vein in the woman's arm or collected from a finger stick. The nuchal translucency ultrasound may be performed from outside the abdomen (transabdominally) or the probe may be inserted into the vagina (transvaginally).
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?
You may be instructed to have a full bladder when having the nuchal translucency ultrasound performed.

Energy modernizing IT in layers with mobile at the top
Thursday - 12/20/2012, 6:48pm EST
The Energy Department is modernizing its technology infrastructure in layers.
The cloud makes up one layer. A new security operations center makes up another.
But it's the move to mobile devices that will bring all these layers together.
"We are looking at how do we create sets of services we can truly share with each other. Today, we still have too many email systems, too many customer relationship management systems and things like that," said Bob Brese, Energy's chief information officer. "And by consolidating these things, we are confident that we can use a brokerage model to take single services and deliver them into enclaves that are appropriately protected for each of our various missions, whether it's science, energy, nuclear security or the general functional administration of the department."
Energy has been working with its components, specifically the National Nuclear Security Administration, to build a cloud of clouds, which would include public, private and hybrid models.
He said broker approach would deliver each of the services from each of the clouds into a secure enclave where the employee uses the application, but doesn't know or care where it comes from.
And that concept is setting the stage for Energy's increased use of mobile devices and applications.
Strategy coming in 2013
Brese said he hopes to complete a mobile strategy by the end of fiscal 2013 to lay out how Energy will implement mobile computing, and most importantly remove device dependency on apps.
"That's going to be a challenge. We're all fighting that battle, and it's difficult. But I think we are all coming to the realization is that the end device, the end point, can't be the thing we are focused on," he said. "We will focus on a mobile device management solution that gives us control on data and limits the amount of data that can be resident on a device."
The goal of the strategy is to create a risk-management approach to using both devices and applications.
Brese said, for example, if an employee believes they need to work off line and have data reside on their tablet computer or laptop, then the program office where that employee works would have to make their case.
"We want to create more of a glove box type approach to working with data from a mobile device," he said. "I don't want to have to worry about whether you're on an iPhone, whether you're on an Android phone, whether you're on an iPad or whether you're on a laptop, I want that data in my control, in my cybersecurity wrapper, in the appropriate enclave for the mission you are working on and the device of your choosing and the location of your choosing."
Security remains the biggest challenge for mobile
Brese said there are a number of challenges to this concept, including whether the agency issued the device the employee is using, and how they are coming into the network, through a Virtual Private Network or through a cellular or wireless connection.
"The level of assurance, the level of authentication that goes into that session may be different," he said. "It's very complex, but I don't want to worry about end points as much as we deploy this strategy."
Energy is conducting a pilot with Virtual Desktop Interface (VDI) software. About 500 employees are logging on through the application and working on the network without any risk to the data.
"We are finding VDI in our current pilot to be very functional and very useful, and the folks who are in the pilot really enjoy it a lot," Brese said. "I see that rolling out to more users in fiscal 2013. Our goal is by the end of fiscal 2013 to expand that to at least 2,000. VDI will be the primary way people will access [our network]. The mobility piece will be dependent on how far we can get on this strategy. Our goal is by the end of 2013, we will have something that we can begin deploying that will be acceptable for all he mobile devices. I do think VDI is going to be, if not the critical enabler, one of the most critical enablers to freeing our employees from a specific desktop."
The third layer to this effort is the Joint Cybersecurity Coordination Center, where Energy has consolidated its reporting and information sharing across all of DoE, including its labs and offices.
Brese said the next step is to bring together all the analytics virtually so the cyber workers can integrate their efforts.
"The goal is as we get to the end of fiscal 2013 and it might be into fiscal 2014 to be able to do real time collaborative incident response," he said. "In the past, we've had to put people on an airplane or had to mail physical assets around, but in fiscal 2013-2014 we want to be able to do that incident response online and in real time."

Problem description
Insecure handling of temporary file permissions can lead to other users on a multi-user system being able to read the documents being converted. This is due to sgml-tools creating temporary files without any special permissions. The updated packages create a secure temporary directory first, which is readable only by the owner, and then create the temporary files in that secure directory. Update: The packages for Linux-Mandrake 7.1 and Corporate Server 1.0.1 had a dependency on the wrong version of sgml-common which made it impossible to upgrade the software. New packages have been released that fix this problem.

I really wanted to like these boots as they look so gorgeous in the photos. They were just a little too "Western"-looking for my taste, and the calves were very tight. I was not able to pull them up all the way. The leather is seriously like butter, so soft and supple. They just weren't quite my style, felt a little small, and the calves were too tight. I would recommend this for someone with average to smaller calves and maybe someone who wears an 8.5 and needs room for warm socks. I wear a 9, and these fit with regular socks but definitely wouldn't work with thick socks.
10/10! These boots are absolutely wonderful! They are beautifully made as expected for Frye - they also fit my feet perfectly,I wore them all day without one blister which is very, very rare for me! They look really classywork with boots, skirts, dresses etc. They could be dressed updown. The shape of the toe is great - it's not too pointynot too round. Honestly these are classicswell worth the money. Fully leatherquality build - they'll last for years... much better than buying something half the pricehaving to replace it after a yeartwo.

Cheap smartphone for Italy, Australia and Asia
by Sukki007 - 2/16/13 1:10 AM
I'll be traveling to Italy and Australia this year, and Asia early next year. I barely make phone calls when traveling, but do want to be able to access email and a few apps with wifi, as well as make and receive those few calls that are necessary. Since my call usage will be minimal, I don't want to have to pay my carrier, AT&T, for their exorbitant international rates. Is there an inexpensive smart phone that will work in all three areas, or is there any other solution?

BELMONT, N.C. - Trailing 8-6 in the bottom of the sixth, the Belmont Abbey baseball team scored six unanswered runs, all coming via home runs, as the Crusaders salvaged a three-game Conference Carolinas series by avoiding a sweep with a 12-8 win over Pfeiffer this afternoon at Abbey Yard. The Crusaders improve to 5-7 overall and 3-2 in Conference Carolinas, while the Falcons drop to 5-8 overall and 3-3 in Conference Carolinas.
Down 8-6 heading to the bottom of the sixth, catcher Spencer Sobol trimmed the lead to one with a leadoff homer. Caleb Shore followed with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Tim Dye. Josh Frazier then drew a walk, and Roland Rodriguez moved the Abbey ahead for good with a three-run shot to left to push the Crusaders ahead 10-8.
One inning later, the Abbey scored two insurance runs on a two-run shot by Chris Vazquez, his second of the day, which also plated Danny Brion, who was hit by a pitch.
The Crusaders opened the game by scoring four runs in the bottom of the first, three coming on a homer to left center by Vazquez and the other on a single to right by Roberto Sanchez.
Pfeiffer began to chip away at the Abbey's lead, scoring single runs in the second and third, and would climb ahead for the first time with a six run fifth inning in which they sent 11 men to the plate. Julian Medina and Preston Lyon both had a two-RBI doubles, while Myles Pearl clubbed an RBI double. Aarin Sharpe plated another on a sacrifice fly, but the Falcons did not score again as Joey Kopp entered the game with two outs in the fifth and stopped the bleeding with a strikeout to end the inning. He would work through the eighth inning, in which he held Pfeiffer hitless and allowed just one base runner, issuing a walk while striking out three to earn the win.Ā Brett DiPasquale worked a perfect ninth inning to close out the game. Bryan Tuttle took the loss after giving up all four runs in the sixth on three hits, striking out two in two innings.

Losses of managed honey bee colonies were 23.1 percent for the 2014-2015 winter but summer losses exceeded winter numbers for the first time, making annual losses for the year 42.1 percent, according to preliminary results of the annual survey conducted by the Bee Informed Partnership, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Apiary Inspectors of America.
According to research by Terminix, the worst whining about mosquitoes came from Goodland, a small town in the northwest corner of Kansas. Terminix searched through approximately 200 billion tweets posted in 2014 to determine which United States city is most pestered by mosquitoes.
The Strategy, released last week, and its accompanying science-based Pollinator Research Action Plan outline needs and priority actions to better understand pollinator losses and improve pollinator health. These actions will be supported by coordination of existing Federal research efforts and accompanied by a request to Congress for additional resources to respond to the pollinator losses that are being experienced.

PORTLAND -- Cell phones have become a part of everything we do to the point that for many, there is a genuine fear or anxiety when they don't have their phone with them.
Now, doctors have a name for it: nomophobia. It affects as many as two in three adults, according to a new survey out of the U.K.
I'm constantly having the phone, where is it where is it? It has to almost be on my body, said busy mom and business owner, Mary Bicknell.
And when it's not right next to her, Bicknell said sheer panic arises.
Oh my gosh, it's that pit in your stomach. You think, 'Oh no, oh no.' That's just a terrible feeling. Where is it? she exclaimed.
Mary is like the 66 percent in a recent study who said they have a genuine fear of being without their phone.
I'd be lost without my phone, it's like my little brain, Bicknell said.
The study found the fear is up from just over 50 percent four years ago, when the phobia was first identified.
We've given it such a powerful presence, that we think we can not live without it. The anxiety that can build up is pretty dramatic, mental health expert Mike Sherbun said.
If you still doubt nomophobia is real, just ask Natalie Corah, 18, and her sister Katie, 13, what it's like to go two minutes at dinner without their phone.
Katie and I would freak out, like we're disconnected. I would panic, Corah said.
Katie has had a cell since she was 10 which means for nearly half her life a cell phone has become the main way she communicates. 200 texts to each friend, each day.
It's like what I'm used to now. We don't talk on the phone anymore, she added.
When sorted by age, the study found 18- to 24-year-olds (77 percent) have the highest incidence of nomophobia.
But Shurban worries this multitasking could be holding our kids back from learning how to have a face-to-face conversation.
They're not used to this interaction without something in their hand and that's where the anxiety comes in, Sherban said.
He added that families are missing out too, from living in the moment with those around them.
You got to have some time away from that, put it down, engage in who you're talking to, then go back and get it.
Sherbun suggests starting with baby steps like no cell phones at the dinner table. You can set an example by putting your cell phone down while talking to your kids
