The Surrogacy Experience Opens in Red Bank, New Jersey
Gestational Surrogacy and Egg Donation Agency founded by Blair Sullivan Cuje to be Impartial Resource of Information, Support and Guidance for Intended Parents, Gestational Carriers and Egg Donors
Red Bank, NJ (PRWEB) December 13, 2010
The Surrogacy Experience (TSE) opened here today and launched a website at http://www.thesurrogacyexperience.com to become the objective and comprehensive educational resource for anyone interested in gestational surrogacy and egg donation.
The Surrogacy Experience is comprised of a group of professionals dedicated to educating, supporting and advising intended parents, gestational carriers and egg donors as they come together in a very unique and special way to build families. The agency's approach is founded on three core principles: a commitment to be an impartial resource of knowledge and experience for intended parents, carriers and donors as they explore the possibility and complexity of surrogacy; providing access to an exclusive pre-screened gestational carrier program; and delivering a comprehensive all-inclusive service offering to simplify the entire process.
"My goal in creating The Surrogacy Experience is simple: I want to help intended parents on their journey to fulfill their family dream," says Blair Sullivan Cuje, founder and president of The Surrogacy Experience. "I want to help make the decision that works best for each person and provide the personalized experience they deserve."
TSE is founded on the personal experience of Ms. Cuje, who has two daughters""her oldest conceived through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and her youngest born through gestational surrogacy. Ms. Cuje has assembled a team of professionals that share her same vision to make gestational surrogacy a more personalized process that alleviates unnecessary anxiety for everyone involved. This team includes legal, medical, finance and operations experts backed by a strong investment capital business structure.
The agency's website http://www.thesurrogacyexperience.com is designed as a comprehensive resource for intended parents, gestational carriers and egg donors to explore the facts about surrogacy and to understand the entire process from decision to delivery and post-birth. Further enhancements are planned in coming months, including the addition of interactive tools that will facilitate decision-making and financial budgeting.
The Surrogacy Experience is a gestational surrogacy and egg donation agency. Our vision is to be an objective and comprehensive educational resource for everyone interested in gestational surrogacy and egg donation, regardless of marital status, sexual orientation or nationality. Our mission for those who choose gestational surrogacy is to be a guide throughout the process from decision to delivery. We help match intended parents with the right carrier and ensure everyone involved shares the same expectations. We support intended parents, carriers and egg donors through the required medical procedures to ensure they receive the highest quality care. We make sure that all legal, financial and insurance matters are handled appropriately.

The big thing here isn't how many jobs or where the money is going (that's another matter), the point is that apple is making headlines and bringing attention to the subject. Once that happens, it's only a matter of time before other companies look at apple, the richest tech company in the world, and think to themselves, "hey, what do they know that I don't? Maybe we can do this too!" That is certainly the hope. Companies emulate other successful companies.
Lastly, am I the only one here to remember that the US pioneered assembly lines and factory production? We've done it before and we can certainly do it again. I hope apple becomes the 'ford' of our generation.

So is this the first time since 2007 that Apple assembles some of its computer line-up in the US, or has this been ongoing the whole time?
|Dec 27, 2012, 09:25 AM
It is a small step to bringing good manufacturing jobs back home, but an important one. Hopefully other companies will bring good jobs back over here. I, for one, don't mind paying a little more for a product that is made in the USA by American workers. I figure my money is helping someone put food on the table in my country and it really boosts the economy when the money we spend stays here.

Just curious....if someone's not American, doesn't live in the USA how does Apple manufacturing their products in the USA benefit them? And why do people just focus on the assembly jobs? I mean the majority of designers, hardware/software engineers, marketing, operations, finance, etc. live and work and pay taxes in the USA. The best paying jobs within the Apple ecosystem are right here in the USA. Let China have the low wage jobs and lets train our workforce to be the ones that come up with the next big idea.

"This year is the 50th anniversary of this novel. I remember that I was working as an engineer back when I first read it. This was appropriate since most of the main characters are engineers. I remember being struck at how close Vonnegut's predictions about society actually were. Now that I've reexamined them 20 years later, I am even more impressed.
The basic premise of the story is that American industry is run by a tiny group of wealthy and powerful managers and engineers, while the vast majority of the population are stripped of their well-paying industrial jobs and forced to live as poor, powerless menials.
This elite of managers and engineers live in closed, gated Orwellian communities, where they watch each other closely for the slightest hint of nonconformity or disloyalty to the system.
Vonnegut shows how most managers and engineers have always had a contempt for the average American worker and have been looking for a way to replace them even before WW2. He thought that this would primarily be by automation (as opposed to simply shipping the jobs out of the country.)
Vonnegut also assumed that agriculture would be totally mechanised by large corporations and the small farmer made extinct.
There is also the eerie prediction that the President would be a man of low intelligence who would get elected on the basis of a "three hour television show." It would make no difference because there would be no connection between who was elected and who actually ran the country. Remenber, this was in 1952....
Oh yes, he also predicted that no one would be able to get any job worth having without a graduate degree.
I know that some people will say that this novel is dated based simply on the repeated mention of vacuum tubes (transistors were not in commercial use in 1952.) However, if you substiute "integrated circuit" or "computer chip" for every place he uses vacuum tube the obsolescence vanishes. Simularly, a modern reader may laugh at the idea of a computer large enough to fill Carlesbad caverns. Believe me, even today the Cray supercomputers and their support equipment take up quite abit of space.
My only real criticism with Vonnegut's projections is that he thought that engineers would have alot more power and influence than they actually have. From my own experience MBA's, CPA's, and lawyers have much more power."

"You're assuming a causality that may not be the only part of the equation. Perhaps Mac Pro sales are slumping BECAUSE Apple has chosen almost three years to update it. I'm certain if Apple placed even 1% of its iOS focus on professional systems, they would sell more. Blindly stating sales are low because of A and not B is rather akin to putting the cart before the horse."
My take:
Eventually, we are going to see Apple abandon the "high-end hardware platform" completely. We may see the iMac line transmogrify into a "Mac OS-ified" version of iOS.
When that time arrives, Apple will no longer be "a hardware company" -- insofar as computer platforms running OS X are concerned.
So.. what will happen to OS X? I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple "license it out" to other hardware manufacturers, for a high premium, of course. I would expect to see such licenses contingent on strict compliance with Apple design guidelines. We might even see pre-configured motherboards sold by Apple along with a copy of OS X. In that case, they would remain a "hardware company", per se -- but leave the buyer the job of "finishing it off" with a case, drive, peripherals, etc.
This will be the natural result of watching Apple's iPhone and iPod markets zoom upward, while their "computer platforms" shrink as a portion of their revenue stream.

The Mac Pro hasn't had a meaningful update in years. Sales have likely shrunk to next to nothing. While that may change when the new model is finally out, it's hard to predict how well it will sell, which is a bad thing when it involves building a factory and production line.

Do we understand English????
Seriously dude to you understand the English language, he said a higher level of automation. As to what robots can do, that expands everyday. Beyond that the Mini would most likely get a complete mechanical over haul via a DFM program. That is Design for Manufacturing.
It should be pretty obvious to everybody here that the current Mini sucks with respect to assembly using either humans or machines. Refactor the machine completely for automation and you could be knocking Minis out at a rather impressive rate with few humans working in the plant.

If the mac Pro and xserve are abandoned, where does it leave the server market? Maybe they'll let us use OS X Server on esxi, where esxi isn't running on Apple hardware. Until the mac mini has redundant power supplies and a rack mount, it's no good for the server market.

Bit more to it, but the increases in shipping costs and wages are the biggest part of the decisions to bring certain things back to the US (improvements on QA/QC = reduced defect rate, better security, reduced instance of IP theft, improved ability to meet delivery dates, ... also play into it generally speaking, but keep in mind that these aspects also translate into financial figures, as that's what business/accounting understand - dollars and cents, nothing more in my experience).
Unfortunately, since most of the assembly will be automated, the number of jobs created won't be that large. If you recall from the initial statements on the relocation to the US (product unnamed at the time), it indicated that there wouldn't be a lot of jobs created, and the estimates of ~200 employees are realistic.
To put this into perspective:
Apple employees: 72,800
Foxconn (Hon Hai Precision) employees: 1.23 million
(as of 2012, source = Wikipedia).
Not all of the Apple employees are high paying either, as those numbers include the Apple Store personnel. Hon Hai's figures are mostly factory workers, but includes engineers, technicians, ... as well.
The difference? The factory workers are making better wages than their counterparts in China working say agricultural jobs, and sending money back home. Here, you wouldn't be able to do that with the typical service industry job, such as something that goes along the lines of "Would you like fries with that?".
In fact, a lot of these types of employees in the US are reliant on public assistance. There was even a movie (WalMart: The High Cost of Low Price, 2005) made about this regarding WalMart (WalMart employees cost the US taxpayer over $1.5 Billion in public assistance, and that was back in 2005 ).
We need a balance of high, mid, and low skill positions, as it's not remotely realistic to think that everyone can have the high paying jobs in the US.
Even if everyone had a BS/BA or better, all that would happen is a decrease in wages due to an over-supply of personnel. Effectively making the Bachelors degree toilet paper the new HS diploma. Wait a second ... this is already happening.
Wages also need to be at a livable standard for everyone, not just the very top end. Otherwise, the US Domestic Market will essentially stagnate and collapse (no money, no sales; simple as that).
|Dec 27, 2012, 02:25 PM
Beyond that say you are a person like me that graduated from high school rather early and wanted a job. Are you suppose to sit around on your behind waiting to turn 18 or do you go looking for employment? Frankly I went looking for employment and found it. About a month later one of the managers came out and asked if I was 18, nope I said, so he said well Don't get hurt. That was in the later 1970's doing industrial work, today most mangers would be scared to death to do such. As to the manager and the long delay, apparently their math skills where all that great as I accurately filled out the employment application
In any event this happened in the USA, now as a country we have gotten so self destructive with respect to the thought of a child (which is anybody under 18) that we actually in demerit the concepts of work ethic and the development of a bit of pride in oneself and your abilities. So we not only destroy ourselves within, we arrogantly try to apply these sorts of ill informed ideas across the rest of the planet. Even if applying those ideas may lead to people going hungry or simply not having the options that we take for granted in this country.
Mind you I'm not advocating employing ten year olds here but rather systems that leverage students in high school that simply aren't cut out for preparation for an academic career which seems to be the goal of many state schools. We see this all the time with high schools touting 98% success rates in college admission only to see most of those students wander about through the post secondary educational system with no drive or goal. If the do graduate it is with a worthless degree that doesn't offer an income any greater than burger flipping. Effectively we waste billions on education in this country due to this idealism that everybody can grow up to be high prosperous, motivated and inventive. There are only so many ways to weave a basket!
|Dec 27, 2012, 02:48 PM
This thing with overcharging though is bogus. Apple offers a price, you are as a customer free to not do business with them if the price isn't agreeable. So by definition if you buy a Mac Pro the it wasn't overpriced was it? For the people that really need a Mac Pro the price isn't even a consideration as there isn't really a huge market Oxford competing machines.
What is more interesting is the 2013 Mini and the rumored transition to USA manufacture. That machine needs an overhaul and rethought as bad as the Mac Pro, it could become the midrange desktop machine that Apple sorely needs.
All in all Apple has an opportunity to save the Desktop lineup in 2013. To do that it needs completely new machines to replace the Mini and Pro. I'm actually hoping that we see the new Pro by the end of January. It has been a long time and it is way past due.

That is an an older ferroresonant charger from the late 80's / early 90's. They do make a humming noise. The problem with them is FR chargers have a tough time doing finishing charges and float stages. They need to switch on and off because they don't do very low currents well. The newer switch mode chargers handle low current output far better and can be left on for weeks or months on end where a low end FR tends to not do nice things when left on for long periods..

They are not intended to shut off but instead go into "float mode" where they maintain a lower voltage. Many older chargers don't do this stage as well as newer ones and with an FR charger you will likely hear it humming along..

Analog panel volt meters can be notoriously inaccurate. We also don't know where it is sensing voltage or where your charger ties in or what the voltage drop may be in the system. The only reading that matters is at the batteries. 12.89 is barely above static resting voltage for a full bank? What was the voltage with the system loads off?.....
Originally Posted by
Is it supposed to stop buzzing? The charger says finished charge at 13.8V and it is there or very close according to panel voltmeter.
It likely won't stop buzzing....

Yes but you should be in float not bulk or absorption so the buzzing is likely normal for that charger even in float.

Usually best to check it when they are resting. Heat can cause the electrolyte to expand slightly and make them look more full than they are. Should be about 1/8" below the lower edge of the fill "well" but not touching the well at all..

I am not a fan of leaving an FR chargers on charge any longer than is necessary. With a newer switch mode charger that's fine but with many older chargers I feel it an be safer to err on the side of caution.

The alternator feeds the starter, then to the "Both" terminal. But for some reason, during one of those half conversations with my mechanic, he said I should wire in to the "House" terminal so that I could charge the house or both.
I would not advise that. This means you will need to leave the battery switch in the ON or BOTH position when you leave the boat and also introduce a few more connection points to corrode and cause voltage drop. A better approach would be to get a newer switch mode charger with dual outputs or add an ACR (voltage sensitive combining relay) or an Echo charger. You then run the charger direct to the house bank and the automatic charge managing device takes over keeping the second bank charged.

None for me, but if you have to, direct to the #1 or #2 post. If not willing to invest in a new charger or a charge managing device then you will need to go to the "C" post and leave it set to BOTH, or what ever bank you want charged.

Letters: bullet train, social identity, Mount Soledad and more
Patrick Velasquez (Letters, June 12) made me shake my head in disbelief. While George Will is out of touch with what is happening on today's colleges, he is right on the money when he questions the intellectual and economic worth of courses and majors in (whatever) studies.
Identity politics/propaganda is now the norm on college campuses, leading to the deep guilt of white students and the harmful sense of pride and hostility of nonwhites. When Latino students demand the annexation of California to Mexico, when Muslim students and their leftist allies shout down pro-Israel speakers, when principals refuse to allow "God Bless the USA" in a kindergarten ceremony because it might offend those who hate America, when college professors around the country proselytize the leftist agenda to classes of students captive to their instructors, then it is no wonder that identity education and politics have split this country in half.
The fact is that Western thought, literature, culture and technical accomplishments are being ignored or vilified in our educational institutions and the dubious scholarship of ethnic and gender studies are playing a large role in the division and hostility among Americans for the other side of the argument. Diversity education rather than preparing students with critical and technical skills results in underprepared graduates. – Josef Horowitz, Escondido
New spat puts memorial in spotlight
I am responding to Mr. John Beaver, a retired securities broker and member of the La Jolla Parks and Beaches advisory committee ("Some aren't exactly saluting plan to light Mount Soledad flag," Local, June 10).
Mr. Beaver objects to the plan wherein the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial Association plans to install electricity at the site and in particular, lighting that will illuminate the American flag in compliance with protocol.
Currently, there are many volunteers who dedicate untold hours to ensure that the American flag is raised and lowered each and every day. Many of these volunteers are veterans who have served in World War II, Korea or Vietnam. By doing so, they not only honor our country, but show respect for the service of members of the armed forces whom have served and, in particular, for those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
The Supreme Court will decide the fate of the cross that sits atop this cherished memorial. Mr. Beaver and those who are opposed to the lighting of the memorial because "it will become intrusive to one of the really neat spots where people come up and overlook the city." Mr. Beaver ignores the fact that thousands of people visit this memorial to honor those whom have served in our nation's wars to ensure that he is one among millions of others, who continue to enjoy the freedom to express their views.
These rights have been guaranteed by the herculean efforts of thousands of brave men and women who continue to fight for their rights and freedoms by spilling their blood over the battle fields of today's war. How truly sad that Mr. Bbeaver and his supporters are more concerned over the lighting of a veterans memorial that might interfere with "the really neat view of the city." – Richard Rogers, Clairemont Mesa

The Sunset Drive-in was located on W. 9th (historic Old Route 66). The backend of the theater was on 11th. In later years people living in the new residential area south of 11th could see the movies on the screen. The area is now the Winchester Apartment complex.

With the summer blockbuster season in full force, we asked several players in the Minnesota Twins clubhouse to give their opinion on the best baseball movie of all time. There were plenty to choose from, but "Major League" seemed to be the overwhelming favorite. Here's a look at which baseball movies the Twins like, and why they picked them. LHP Glen Perkins "Major League" "I guess it's just a classic baseball movie that's got the fairy tale story, but all the other stuff that kind of goes in with baseball. I think it's a good re-creation of a major league season, especially the way things were back then. . . . From what I've heard, (Bob Uecker's scenes were) all ad-lib. He didn't have a script. There's just so many lines in that movie. Being here, I think every guy in here has seen it a hundred times. You can quote that movie any time and it's funny. I don't think there's anything even particularly close." OF Ben Revere "For the Love of the Game" "That's probably my top pick. I...

|NBA: Phoenix Suns at Washington Wizards Preview, Matchup, Picks & Odds
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Friday, 07 December 2007 07:00
Offensive Power
The Phoenix Suns have led the NBA in scoring in each of the last three seasons, so it's not easy to put on an offensive display that impresses coach Mike D'Antoni.
With its latest performance, however, Phoenix did just that.
The Suns look to build on their highest scoring output of the season on Friday when they visit the Washington Wizards, who have been another one of the league's top offensive teams lately despite missing Gilbert Arenas.
Oddsmakers from Bodog have made Phoenix –6.5 point spread favorites (NBA Odds) for today's game, the over/under has been set at 224 total points (Matchup). Our public betting information shows that 87% of bets for this game have been placed on Phoenix –6.5 (View NBA Bet Percentages).
Seven Phoenix players scored in double figures as the Suns (15-4) beat Toronto 136-123 on Wednesday night. Leandro Barbosa had 35 points off the bench, Amare Stoudemire added 25 and shot 9-for-11 from the field, and Steve Nash had a season-high 18 assists as the Suns won for the 12th time in 14 games.
"Offensively we were just awesome," said D'Antoni, whose team hadn't scored that many points since a 137-122 win at Memphis on Jan. 15. "(The Raptors are) a good defensive team. They've been holding people to 43 percent. They're good, but we just have a lot of weapons."
After surpassing 31 assists once in its first 16 games, Phoenix has recorded 37, 38 and 38 in its three December games. Stoudemire has averaged 31.7 points on 69.2 percent shooting this month while the Suns have scored 124.0 points per game and hit 55.5 percent from the field.
"When the ball moves, we're difficult to defend," said Nash, leading the league with a career-high 11.8 assists per contest.
Though the Suns have topped the league in scoring in each season since Nash's arrival in 2004-05, their current average of 110.5 points is their highest since they scored 110.6 per game in 1994-95.
D'Antoni, however, thinks there's still room for improvement.
"We should be able to," D'Antoni said when asked if his team could surpass Wednesday's 136-point mark this season. "We'll see. We want to keep getting better and keep people in the flow and get everybody individually good. We're almost there. We're not rolling yet on all cylinders."
That's bad news for the rest of the league, but the Wizards (9-9) are a team that can potentially keep up with Phoenix's frenetic offense.
Washington has scored at least 100 points in 11 of its last 13 games despite playing most of those games without Arenas - the team's leading scorer last season who's recovering from left knee surgery. Arenas likely won't return until mid-February.
The Wizards improved to 9-3 when they score at least 100 points with Wednesday's 105-86 victory over Cleveland, the team that has eliminated Washington in the playoffs each of the last two seasons.
"They've been bullying us," Wizards coach Eddie Jordan said. "We want to return the favor."
The Wizards have averaged 113.6 points in their last five games against the Suns and are 3-2 against them in that stretch. Washington won an overtime thriller 144-139 in Phoenix last season, but lost at home 127-105 in the teams' other meeting.
Nash averaged 34.5 points and 13.0 assists while shooting 65.8 percent from the field against Washington last season.
Arenas was Washington's leading scorer in both games against the Suns while teammate Caron Butler averaged 29.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 steals.
Butler is averaging 23.2 points and shooting 53.0 percent from the field this season - both career highs. The Wizards are 7-2 when he scores at least 24 points, compared to 2-7 when he doesn't.

Unknown Prophets ft. Planet Asia - Knockin' Out Impostors
Artist: Unknown Prophets
Featuring: Planet Asia
Producer: Big Jess
Album: WP2
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 3 votes )
The Twin Cities area is known for being an underground hip-hop hotbed, and the group Unknown Prophets is a group from the Mini Apple that have found a way to carve out their own niche in a crowded scene. Their latest effort and first DJBooth feature, Knockin' Out Imposters, is the first single from their forthcoming project World Premier 2 due to be released this fall. The producer half of the duo, Big Jess, creates a standard sample and chop-style beat for the song that weaves strings in and out of the track, setting the appropriate mood for MaD SoN's rhymes, as well as those of guest artist Planet Asia. If this record is any indication of what World Premier 2 is going to sound like, listeners who find the prototypical Twin Cities sound favorable will be more than satisfied with The UP's upcoming album.

aquarius escort on tribble
probably old news , but its on the latest tribble build as a playable destroyer
does this seem stupidly powerful to anyone else ? lol
It looks so AWESOME! AND its way overpowered.
Oh wait, Tier 4 ship. Why in heavens name would they still bring out Tier 4 ships? whats the logic in doing that? sigh.
another nice looking escort gone to waste.
That's not OP...that's terrible. :confused:
4 front, 2 aft slots means you can compare this more to a science-escort hybrid than an actual escort. Okay, so what two ships are closest in comparison?
You can replicate the same stations as the new fleet escort, since the console slots are identical anyway. Okay...but it has ~4k less hull and .05 less shield modifier. Not bad, per se, but the fleet escort was already the lowest of the fleet escort refits, anyway. However, if you toss that universal LT station to another engi slot, you could have a tanky escort. Not sure how the -.27 modifier compared to the patrol escort would, though, even if the patrol has a LT/Ens potential for engineering. So what about science?
That would be the fleet science vessel refit, the crazy Nova. I think the Nova might deal more dps than the Aquarius, tbh. 3/3 weaponry and no tac comm station, but a comm science station might make up wonderfully. Stats-wise, the Nova has ~1k more hull, but a nice .39 extra shield modifier, not to mention built-in target subsystem powers. The Nova's consoles are 3/3/4, as opposed to the Aq's 4/4/2, but I'd say the Aq has the advantage due to the universals. So, oddly enough, the Nova might deal more damage, but the Aq can tank more...maybe. :P
OP? Nah, but quirky as hell.
This looks quite cool, I kind of suspected this'd turn into a "I can't believe it's not a BoP".
Honestly, is there really much of a point to it? Looks like its trying to be a fed version of a BoP but only have a lt and ensign universal slots and thats it. Quite frankly it doesn't seem like its worth having...looks inferior in almost every way to all of the other fleet escorts.
The Crew, Hull and Shield values are considerably less than the Fleet Patrol Escort, with the same Turn Rate and Speed. And it only has two Aft Weapon slots.
If it had three aft weapon slots, and/or the LTCom Tac and Universal LT slots were swapped around It'd be worth going for. As it is, it's sorta pointless.
Ideally, I really want to be able to slot an Escort with:
Commander Tactical
Lieutenant Commander Science
Lieutenant Tactical
Lieutenant Engineer
Ensign Engineer
Commander Tactical
Lieutenant Commander Engineer
Lieutenant Tactical
Lieutenant Science
Ensign Science
Commander Tactical
Lieutenant Commander Engineer
Lieutenant Commander Science
Lieutenant Tactical
...sadly, none of those is currently possible. But I'm holding out in hope for a "Fleet Multi Vector Advanced Escort Refit" that'll allow the first one, or a "Fleet Heavy Escort Carrier Refit" that'll allow the second! :D
I still think this could be pretty damn nasty if equipped right to be honest , the consoles and boffs are pretty unusual for a federation ship

atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular nodal reentrant
tachycardia (AVNRT) is the most common type of
supraventricular tachycardia. It accounts for many of
the fast heart rates that start in the upper part of the heart (excluding
atrial fibrillation). Atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia can
cause symptoms at any age. It occurs more frequently in females, and it is not
generally a result of other forms of heart disease.
Atrioventricular tachycardias are caused by an abnormal or extra
electrical pathway in the heart, a kind of "short circuit." Electrical pathways
in the heart consist of microscopic muscle fibers that conduct electrical
impulses. Normally, a single electrical pathway allows impulses to travel from
the upper to the lower chambers. An extra electrical pathway allows those
impulses to travel backwards at the same time, starting another heartbeat.
During AV nodal reentrant tachycardia the electrical impulses continuously go
around the two pathways. This is known as "reentry" and can lead to a very fast
heart rate.
Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia can now
be successfully treated in almost all people. Medicines, such as beta-blockers
or calcium channel blockers, may effectively treat this problem. In people for
whom medicines do not work, or for those who do not wish to take medicine,
catheter ablation is an option.

THE case of Brooke Greenberg appears to be one of its kind. However, in February another instance of a baby that doesn't appear to age was reported in Britain. At the age of 14 months, Suraya Brown was almost the same size as when she was newborn – weighing 1.8kg and 0.48m tall. Doctors are baffled at her frozen growth. But since it's early days, some people have raised the possibility of Primordial Dwarfism.
While research is ongoing to solve the mystery of Brooke and the link to arresting ageing, some quarters wonder if it will unlock Pandora's box. Can you imagine a world where everyone still reproduces but no one ages?
Unfortunately, there seems to be no possibility of using that knowledge to treat progeria – the condition where one ages quickly and prematurely (while seemingly a reverse of Brooke's condition, it is totally unrelated). Progeria arises from damage to a gene governing certain biological functions, while for Brooke it may be a specific master gene controlling ageing.
There are other conditions that involve ageing or have symptoms that seem to mimic Brooke's condition. Here are a few examples:
Werner Syndrome: A hereditary disease of young adults that is characterised by short stature, early greying and balding, tendency for diabetes, cataracts, vascular disorders, and generally premature ageing and death. It is caused by the mutation of a gene that gives instructions on the maintenance and repair of DNA.
Cockayne Syndrome: An inherited rare disorder characterised by short stature and an appearance of premature ageing. Features of this disorder include a failure to gain weight and grow at the expected rate (failure to thrive), small head size, impaired development of the nervous system, and an abnormal sensitivity to sunlight. Other possible signs and symptoms include hearing loss, eye abnormalities, severe tooth decay, and problems with internal organs. Also caused by mutation of two different genes involved in the repair of DNA.
Majewski Osteodysplastic Primordial Dwarfism Type II: A rare dwarfism disorder where some of the symptoms include the head disproportionately smaller to the body, conspicuous nose, dislocation of the hip at childbirth (for some), a height of less than 1m in adulthood, feeding problems and aneurisms (a preponderance to strokes). The cause is unknown and the average life expectancy is around 30. – By S.S. Yoga

Why this 11-year-old's figure skating is a miracle, no less
Diagnosed with a rare leg impairment in infancy, she recovered to compete in a field that demands utmost strength–of her legs
More News from Pocholo Concepcion
It is still quite early in the day, just before lunchtime, and already dozens of kids and adults are enjoying themselves as they whiz past each other on the ice skating rink of SM Mall of Asia.
Most of them are probably into ice skating as a hobby. But the observant eye easily spots a young girl standing out from the rest as she zooms with confidence, spins like a top, and executes various moves not unlike those of a ballet dancer.
The girl is Sofia Guidote, who was five years old when she first tried ice skating at SM Southmall. Now, at 11, she's set to compete in the Asian Open Figure Skating Trophy 2013 to be held from Aug. 8 to 11 in Bangkok.
Figure skating refers to the type of ice skates used in the sport, to distinguish it from hockey, bandy, racing and touring skates.
Every now and then we see Sofia taking a spill. She tells Inquirer Lifestyle that she's working hard on perfecting her "double axel"—or two-and-a-half rotations in the air, with a forward jump. It's said to be the most difficult part, the highest type of jump for her level in figure skating.
"After that I will go for the triple axel and land on my right leg," she points out.
Aiming for the Olympics
Her dream is to join the Olympics and represent the Philippines: "I want to be the first to do it."
Sofia may sound too ambitious for her age, but such focus is the result of a series of victories she has been scoring the past years.
She won three medals—two golds, one silver—plus a special award for best performance at the 2009 Asian Regional Junior Figure Skating Challenge, also held in Bangkok.
A year later, in the same tournament in Beijing, she won a gold medal in the Pre-Novice category and clinched another special award for best performance.
Last year, when the competition was held in Hong Kong, she grabbed three golds.
And just last April, she got a silver in the Basic Novice A division at the International Skating Union (ISU) World Development Trophy. The ISU regulates international figure skating judging and competitions, including the Winter Olympic Games.
Mysterious defect
The wonder of it all is that Sofia—the youngest and only girl among three siblings—was born with a mysterious defect in her lower body that almost prevented her from walking.
"She was nine months when she was diagnosed with dislocated hips, meaning there was no ball and no socket," Sofia's mother, Kathleen, recalls.
"We were so thrilled at finally having a girl, so we were always carrying her, and sometimes the yaya and I would hear a clicking sound in her leg. We thought wala 'yan, the boys were like that also…"
When Sofia tried to stand from her crib, the clicking sound didn't stop with every little step she took.
Appraised of this rare condition by Sofia's pediatrician, Kathleen and her husband Manny took their baby to three doctors, who all said they have to open her up, break the bones, reshape them, and put her legs in a cast for six weeks.
Kathleen was not keen on the procedure: "I called my niece who's a pedia in the States. She said casting is difficult to take care of; we need a support system. Then we found a doctor at UST who asked us if Sofia had undergone MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). The doctor said that if there were no damaged ligaments, closed-reduction casting would do."
After the MRI, Sofia's parents were alarmed by the doctor's findings. "The doctor said, 'I've never seen anything like this. There are no ligaments. It's like looking at a three-month old,'" Kathleen recounts.
For the next nine months, Sofia wore a cast from above the waist to her knee. "The doctor asked for prayers," Kathleen says, "so that her hands would be guided in the process."
Tears well up as Kathleen continues: "It's like a little miracle. By the grace of God, both legs were saved. Now her strength is her legs!"
Manuel reveals that Sofia's condition is now a case study at the University of Santo Tomas.
As far as ice skating is concerned, Kathleen says that the family never influenced Sofia to get into it: "It was she who decided what she wanted to do."
Adds Manny: "The first few years, we felt fear every time she fell."
Sofia remembers the first time a friend casually invited her to go ice skating at SM Southmall. It was a "play date" that she enjoyed. She started doing it twice a week. Things got serious and she went ice skating every day when she turned seven.
She says she got into the sport "because it's challenging and also fun to do the programs and competition. I wanted to win, or get second or third place."
Expensive sport
Kathleen says that there are no cash prizes in figure skating, only medals. "But it's the second most expensive sport in the world after equestrian," Manny points out.
Training is expensive. "Private lessons with a Russian coach cost 120 euros an hour," says Manny. "Training on the ice with eight others costs 16 Swiss francs for 45 minutes. And then there's off-ice training which is $80 an hour. For us that's really mabigat. That's why now we're in panic mode (laughs). We never thought it would escalate to this level."
Manny estimates that he will spend $10,000 a month for Sofia's training abroad.
Adds Kathleen: "If you're really making tipid, it's $6,000. We're trying to figure out how to get sponsors."
A few weeks after the interview, Sofia flew to Switzerland to train with a Russian coach. She'll be practicing with the Swiss and Russian national figure skating team.
Sofia will compete in the Basic Novice A level in Bangkok. Last year, there were 22 competitors for that level, of which only three will receive medals.
"It will be good for her because she will be among champions," Manny beams.

"Six Kids, Stuck in an Airport Without Supervision. Someone Please Call Security."
|It s Christmas Eve and a huge blizzard has just shut down the airport threatening to ruin holiday plans for all stranded travelers. Snowed in en route to their father s house two Unaccompanied Minors --dubbed UMs--Spencer (Dyllan Christopher) and his little sister Katherine (Dominique Saldana) are ushered to the airport s Unaccompanied Minors Room a holding cell for dozens of stranded parent-free kids from all over the country. Caught in the crossfire of projectile cupcakes and juice boxes and desperate to escape Spencer makes a run for freedom along with four other UMs who couldn t be more different if they tried: spoiled rich girl Grace (Gina Mantegna) trailer-park tomboy Donna (Quinn Shephard) academic overachiever Charlie (Tyler James Williams) and comic-book geek Timothy Wellington a.k.a. Beef (Brett Kelly). With the airport s peevish Passenger Relations Manager Oliver Porter (Lewis Black) his lackey assistant Zach Van Bourke (Wilmer Valderrama) and every airport security guard hot on their trails this group of UMs from cliques that don t mix learn to ditch their differences and help each other flee the clutches of airport authority. Meanwhile Katherine and the other UMs have been herded to a nearby hotel to wait out the storm. Determined to reunite with his little sister and fulfill her unspoiled vision of Santa Claus arriving on Christmas morning Spencer enlists the help of his UM posse. Working together as an unlikely family of their own they outwit and outrun Oliver and his crew. Plummeting through baggage chutes rummaging around unclaimed luggage and canoeing down a snow-covered hill they turn Christmas at the airport into holiday pandemonium and along the way prove that the holidays aren t about where you are but who you re with.Running Time: 90 min.

"A film that's funny and entertaining for kids and adults. Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Editor's NoteA Midwest-wide blizzard strands passengers at an airport on Christmas Eve in this family comedy. Security corrals the kids traveling without parents into a large, windowless room. Sans supervision, the area quickly descends into a sugar-fueled LORD OF THE FLIES frenzy, with food fights substituting for any real violence. Five kids attempt to escape: awkward-but-normal teen Spencer (Dyllan Christopher), Harvard-bound brain Charlie (Tyler James Williams), gentle giant Beef (Brett Kelly), rebel Donna (Quinn Shephard), and rich girl Grace (Gina Mantegna). Thwarted by the holiday-hating head of passenger relations (Lewis Black) and an unlucky underling (Wilmer Valderama), the kids try to salvage their Christmas holiday.Black (THE DAILY SHOW WITH JOHN STEWART) is perfectly cast as the acerbic villain. Though he has toned down his barbs from his normal rage-spewing routine (this is family fare, after all), he's still one of the highlights of the film. Each of the child actors has had a lot of experience for their age, and it shows here. Williams is the title character in EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS, and he shines as the uptight member of the bunch. With hints of HOME ALONE and THE BREAKFAST CLUB, UNACCOMPANIED MINORS appeals to the whole family. For kids, there are plenty of giggle-inducing moments to please. Meanwhile, their parents will enjoy playing spot the celebrity with cameos by actors from KIDS IN THE HALL, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, and NBC's THE OFFICE. Director Paul Feig is best known for his sitcom work, and his former stars show up to help him here. With humor and a little heart, UNACCOMPANIED MINORS is a tasty holiday treat.

|Every year, we get a fresh batch of treacle at the movie theatre, all in the name of "family holiday entertainment;" approximately 68 percent of it stars Tim Allen. Because many Christmas movies have so little to recommend them, when Unaccompanied Minors comes in as "not too shabby," it's actually a rather glowing recommendation, given the context....read the full review
Unaccompanied Minors - DVD Review
By: Ed Perkis Cinema Blend DVD Reviews
Published on: 8/13/2007 9:49 PM
|The one fun part of Unaccompanied Minors (besides decent performances by Williams, Black, and Christopher) is playing "identify the cameo by one of the director's former jobs." So as you spot actors from "The Office" (Mindy Kaling, B.J. Novak, David Koechner), "Arrested Development" (Tony Hale, Jessica Walter) and even "Freaks and Geeks" (Dave Allen), the focus moves onto them, their 30 second bits, and how you should switch to one of those shows on DVD as soon as this movie is over ...read the full review

Missing Advanced Options For All-In-One-Seo-Pack
Posted 11 September 2013 - 08:59 PM
I was watching Benjamin on the WordPress Developer Course replay and he talked about the integration of a product with the All-In-One-SEO-Pack-PRO. I've activated the SEO plugin but I don't see the option on the advanced pull down like is seen in the video (see attached video screenshot). So where can I set the product SEO?

If you have questions regarding something you've seen on WebDesign.com, you'll want to ask them in the WebDesign Forum. That's the best place to get questions related to anything you see in a webinar.
Posted 12 September 2013 - 10:34 AM
No, I was not asking about WebDesign. The exchange plugin had some functionality (the All in One SEO Pack options) but I don't see it. I learned about the options on WebDesign. Was it removed?

Please note the part I ordered is actually the meat pan shelf/frame. It is listed incorrectly on your site as the crisper drawer cover/frame. The pictures are correct though.It is really easy to replace. I just removed the crisper drawer which is above it to get room to work. Then I removed the glass insert from the meat pan cover. I then removed the frame by lifting up on the front edge and then pulling it forward and away from the back two support pins. Don't forget to tranfer the gaskets and air deflector from the old shelf to the new shelf.Insert the new frame by sliding it back onto the two rear support pins and then lowering the front edge down to rest on the two front support pins. Replace the glass and drawer.

Voters hunt for their booth numbers
Patna: Voters in the capital city for 2 seats at Pataliputra and Patna Saheb faced difficulties casting their votes on Thursday. Many voters were seen hunting for their booth numbers at various voting booths, primarily because of not having their voter slips. Also, many voters' booth numbers were changed and the update did not reach them, leading to a drop in the enthusiasm of the voters. Many frustrated voters returned home without casting their votes.
33% voting in Patna till 2pm
Patna: In the second phase of the Lok Sabha Elections in Bihar, voting is on for 7 seats including the capital city. Voting began at 7 AM, and 335 voter turnout was witnessed till 2 PM. The figures were 34% in Patna Saheb, 36% in Jahanabad, and 34% in Nalanda. Voting is expected to increase in the latter half of the day, especially towards the end of the voting day at 6 PM.
Voter ID cards and voting slips mismatch, problems on the rise!
Bihar: One mistake of the election commission and several voters had to face problems casting their votes for the 7 seats being fought for in Bihar. Many voters had a mismatch in their voter ID cards and voting slips in their names, father's/husband's names, pictures, addresses, etc despite furnishing the right details at the time of application. Shivam, a voter at booth number 159 at PC Colony in Kakadbagh, said that he could not find his name on the voters' list and had also not received the voters' slip. He was asked to check at another booth. "All this creates more problems for us voters", he said.
Security arrangements at voting booths: Thumbs up!
Bihar: Despite all the problems faced by the voters, the security arrangements at several polling booths were very good. There were special arrangements for women and senior citizens, who rocked the voting with their presence. There were also shades to avoid the sun.
BJP candidate Shatrughan Sinha casts vote
Patna: Patna Saheb candidate from BJP and yesteryear bollywood actor Shatrughan Sinha cast his vote in the St. Sevrins School booth number 295. He seemed quite happy having cast his vote and showed-off his inked finger in his filmy style. When asked by the journalists about JDU and chief minister Nitish Kumar, he laughingly replied in his famous filmy dialogue "Khaamosh" and left.
More than 300 lotuses will bloom in the Parliament: Shatrughan Sinha
Patna: BJP's Lok Sabha candidate from Patna Saheb Shatrughan Sinha is confident that BJP would have more than 300 seats in the parliament. Casting his vote with his wife Poonam Sinha at the St. Sevrins School booth number 295, he said that all over the country and in Bihar the voting process is going on pretty smoothly. "People are voting with all their heart", he remarked. When questioned about BJP's victory this time, he said that he can see more than 300 lotuses blooming in the parliament. While his wife said that she was mighty impressed by the way people are exercising their right to vote.

The decline of manufacturing jobs in the last few decades has led to a steady population loss in New York. Cities also face numerous challenges in attracting young, educated people to the state, and that threatens the long-term sustainability of our region.
Brain drain is the loss of skilled intellectual and technical labor through the movement of such labor to more favorable geographic, economic, or professional environments. While New York has not experienced an unusually high loss of skilled labor, especially compared to other states, the lack of net-migration in upstate New York is among the lowest in the nation. Attracting an educated, skilled workforce is critical to the revival of upstate New York's economy.

The park also offers numerous hiking trails and caves, including Twin Caves Boat Tour. Just 12 miles west of the lively university town of Bloomington, McCormick's Creek State Park is known for hiking trails that feature a huge limestone canyon and the abandoned historic Statehouse Quarry.

Apple, Android, my parents' old Nokia 3210, I don't care anymore
The tech industry is something I used to write about, specifically Apple, but man I really don't give a shit anymore. There's no other way to put it. Why can't people just buy a phone and shut up? Why do they have to create some shitty comparison chart that points out that one phone is better than the other, which will then get edited and redistributed by another fanboy saying the opposite?
Where has this need come from to slag off any product one doesn't own? Imagine if this applied to all your grocery shopping? I've bought apples, because all pears suck. They're the wrong shape, the wrong colour, and they can't make juice, a feature which the apple has had since day one. What idiot would drink normal milk when there's chocolate milk? It's got so many more features.
Seriously? Is this what the tech industry, journalists and people in general have come down to? There will always be a new phone that's "better" than the old one, somebody is always going to do something "first". It gets boring and repetitive after a while. Just enjoy your damn tech. If you don't like your phone, change it. If you like it, keep it. Whatever.
If people put as much effort into making their own tech better/writing on more interesting topics as they did slagging off all other brands except their own, I might still be interested in the tech industry.
