Locker Room Knockout with Bo, Dane and Brock
Bo Dean is pounding away on a heavy-bag but it's flying all over the place. Brock offers to steady the bag and Bo winds up clocking him on the chin, laying him out on the bench! Dane doesn't miss a beat and quickly begins to administer CPR while Bo compresses Brock's chest. Brock comes to, cracks a smile and says he wasn't really knocked out. Just for that, Dane shoves his cock in Brock's mouth and the action begins. Done pounding the heavy-bag Bo pounds Dane's ass while he's 69'ing Brock. Then, it's all aboard the fuck train! Bo gives it to Dane while Dane gives it to Brock. The last stop brings them back to where they started with Brock laid out on the bench, getting fucked until all three guys pop all over him. ::ding:: ::ding:: ::ding:: And the winner by unanimous decision is...you!

One happy momma to a very spirited little girl , her tough little brother , and a happy little suprise late April 2012 . Wife to an overworked and under paid husband .
For me it was much worse, but I'm not sure that what I experienced could even be characterized as normal back labor. It wasn't just feeling the contractions in my back -- I get the feeling that when some women describe their back labor, it's like they're talking about a back ache. I've had back aches, once so painful that I could hardly move without being in a fire of agony. But that's not what my back labor was like -- it felt like my back was literally being ripped apart. There is no way I could have gone through days of it -- I would have lost my mind.

mama to (4/05), (6/07vbac), (8/09vbac), and (9/11vbac)
That's how mine was. It felt like five sharp knives were trying to come out of my back, right around my tailbone. The only slight relief I got was my dh applying counter-pressure as hard as he could (and he's a big guy). The very first contrax was back labor, and I automatically assumed the hands and knees position. It was the only position I could handle.
I feel like a first-timer because I have no idea what a 'normal' contraction feels like.

i thought this show was a little weak you got tank right there and they bearly asked his opinion on anything and acted like they where afraid to talk in front of him.
Inside MMA brings you all the latest news and discussion in Mixed Martial Arts.
Guest panelists include BetOnFighting.com odds maker Nick Kalikas, Welterweight fighter Jake Shields, and Tank Abbott with details on his upcoming fight with Kimbo Slice.
Inside MMA airs Fridays at 9:30pmET.
i thought this show was a little weak you got tank right there and they bearly asked his opinion on anything and acted like they where afraid to talk in front of him.
I thought it was an okay show. I like Tank, he always makes me laugh. I agree, they didn't ask him enough questions.
i never get to see the show with the paperview predictions until after the paperview. cagetoday post it the day of so we can see it when its relevent please
this show sucked… but i do love this show
tank seems a little punch drunk already.. from both punches & the drinking. kimbo's interview kinda sucked; he wasn't very articulate during this show.
lol. tank can bench 625 pounds, my ass. i know it's on youtube. i think powerlifters and competitiors from world's strongest man can bench about 660 lbs 10x. ibelieve tank can only bench 625 or so only one time, and he actually bounches it off his chest. check out youtube.
for an old man tht drinks all the time u have to give him his credit thats a lot to bench. there are many professional weight lifters that can bench 100 pounds. there is a professional weight lifter that i was reading about that focuses only on bench and he weighs 165 pounds and benches 620 as his max… pretty rediculous haha
i didnt mean to write 100 i ment to write 1000
I don't know if anyone here lifts. I do, and I can't press even close to 600+ pounds even if I wear a bench shirt, bounce it, lift my ass off the bench, and a spotter helping me cheat. I don't care what anyone says. 600 pounds is impressive.
Of course Kimbo wasn't articulate. He seldom is, because he's half retarted. He used the word "transaction" for "transition." On the other hand, Tank wasn't very articulate either and he's college educated. There's probably enough beer, blunts, and brawls between the two of them to make Albert Einstein stupid.

That's really pops!
I love this so much, but seriously.. how true is it? I think as a designer there is a reason people hire us. It is because we know what we're doing.. they need to step back and let us do our job!
I love this so much, but seriously.. how true is it? I think as a designer there is a reason people hire us. It is because we know what we're doing.. they need to step back and let us do our job!
In a perfect world, sure – I don't tell my mechanic how to fix my transmission or give my plumber instructions on how to repair a broken pipe… but because design is something that people perceive as being "personal" to them (like clothes or makeup), they feel that it's their right/duty to step in and take charge. This is almost always the wrong wrong wrong thing to do, which is why most major companies have art directors that bridge the gap between the "boss" and the "designer". Sadly, this still usually doesn't do much more than insulate the designer for a few extra weeks before the insanity sets in.
In most cases, companies should exercise what I call "content direction", and stay out of the field of "art direction" after the initial creative brief.
That was the single best web-related comic I have ever read.
"I've looped my mother into this conversation. She designed a bake sale flyer back in 1982, so you could say she has an 'eye' for design."
Been there done that.
It's an awfull experience that keeps happening over and over. Customers are a neccessary evil:-).
so very true, happens all the time. hilarious comic.
Great stuff! As an aspiring designer and website consumer I'm afriad I've been guilty of some of this. Maybe not to these extremes but, again as an aspiring designer, a site I've ordered often ends up looking completely different than what was delivered.
But at least I don't abuse the designer with my modifications… I do them myself!

Customers may report a brake fluid leak at the left rear wheel which may result in a spongy brake pedal, increased pedal travel, and/or illumination of the red brake warning lamp on some vehicles driven frequently on gravel roads or similarly severe conditions. This may be caused by a loose brake hose connection at the left rear brake caliper. (This condition may also occur on the right rear brake caliper of F-550 vehicles built on or after 6/15/1998.) The brake hose joint may lose clamp load and begin to leak due to stone impingement on the hose banjo block which may cause additional deformation of the copper washers resulting in the reduction of clamp load and subsequent joint leak.

Patients with chronic heart failure (HF) are at elevated risk of developing acute decompensated HF, often requiring hospital admission. Patients with a history of acute decompensation have an additional risk of future episodes of decompensation, and death. Reasons for the transition from a stable, chronic state to an acute, decompensated state include disease progression, as well as acute coronary events and dysrhythmias. While precipitating factors are frequently not identified, the most common preventable cause is noncompliance with medication and dietary regimens. (1) Strategies for reducing decompensation, and thus the need for hospitalization, are aimed at early identification of patients at risk for imminent decompensation. Programs for early identification of HF are characterized by frequent contact with patients to review signs and symptoms with a healthcare provider and with education or adjustment of medications as appropriate. These encounters may occur face-to-face in office or in home, or via transmission telephonically or electronically of symptoms and conventional vital signs, including weight. (2)
Precise measurement of cardiac hemodynamics is often employed in the intensive care setting to carefully manage fluid status in acutely decompensated HF. Echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and Doppler ultrasound are noninvasive methods for monitoring cardiac output on an intermittent basis for the more stable patient but are not addressed in this policy. A variety of biomarkers and radiologic techniques may be utilized in the setting of dyspnea when the diagnosis of acute decompensated HF is uncertain.
A number of novel approaches have been investigated as techniques to measure cardiac hemodynamics in the outpatient setting. It is postulated that real-time values of cardiac output or left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) will supplement the characteristic signs and symptoms and improve the clinician's ability to intervene early to prevent acute decompensation. Four methods will be reviewed here: thoracic bioimpedance, inert gas rebreathing, arterial waveform during Valsalva, and implantable pressure monitoring devices.
Thoracic Electrical Bioimpedance (TEB)/Impedance Cardiography (ICG)
Bioimpedance is defined as the electrical resistance of tissue to the flow of current. For example, when small electrical signals are transmitted through the thorax, the current travels along the blood-filled aorta, which is the most conductive area. Changes in bioimpedance, measured at each beat of the heart, are inversely related to pulsatile changes in volume and velocity of blood in the aorta. Cardiac output is the product of stroke volume by heart rate, and thus can be calculated from bioimpedance. Cardiac output is generally reduced in patients with systolic HF. Acute decompensation is characterized by worsening of cardiac output from the patient's baseline status. The technique is alternatively known as impedance plethysmography and impedance cardiography (ICG).
Inert Gas Rebreathing
This technique is based on the observation that the absorption and disappearance of a blood-soluble gas is proportional to cardiac blood flow. The patient is asked to breathe and rebreathe from a rebreathing bag filled with oxygen mixed with a fixed proportion of two inert gases; typically nitrous oxide and sulfur hexafluoride. The nitrous oxide is soluble in blood and is therefore absorbed during the blood's passage through the lungs at a rate that is proportional to the blood flow. The sulfur hexafluoride is insoluble in blood and therefore stays in the gas phase and is used to determine the lung volume from which the soluble gas is removed. These gases and carbon dioxide are measured continuously and simultaneously at the mouthpiece.
Arterial Pressure during Valsalva to Estimate LVEDP
LVEDP is elevated in the setting of acute decompensated HF. While direct catheter measurement of LVEDP is possible for patients undergoing cardiac catheterization for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons, its invasive nature precludes outpatient use. Noninvasive measurements of LVEDP have been developed based on the observation that arterial pressure during the strain phase of the Valsalva maneuver may directly reflect the LVEDP. Arterial pressure responses during repeated Valsalva maneuvers can be recorded and analyzed to produce values that correlate to the LVEDP.
Pulmonary artery pressure measurement to estimate LVEDP
LVEDP can also be approximated by direct pressure measurement of an implantable sensor in the pulmonary artery wall. The sensor is implanted via right heart catheterization and transmits pressure readings wirelessly to external monitors.
Left Atrial Pressure (LAP) Sensor or Monitor
The LAP sensor device detects pressure changes in the left atrium on a millimeter-by millimeter basis. Elevated pressure in the left atrium is a direct early sign of pulmonary edema, allowing the provider to manage and correct the patient's HF days or weeks before symptoms appear. The LAP sensor is permanently implanted onto the interatrial septum. The transducer is connected by a wire to a signal processing device, which is in the pectoral region. To obtain a pressure reading, the patient positions a handheld device over the region where the device is implanted. Then the real-time information is activated to wirelessly notify the provider.
At this time, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not cleared a LAP sensor or monitor or sensor for marketing or commercial use. This includes the HeartPOD™ System or Promote® LAP System, for left atrial pressure measurements to manage HF.
Regulatory Status
The following devices have received specific FDA clearance for marketing through the 510(k) process.
Each benefit plan, summary plan description or contract defines which services are covered, which services are excluded, and which services are subject to dollar caps or other limitations, conditions or exclusions. Members and their providers have the responsibility for consulting the member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract to determine if there are any exclusions or other benefit limitations applicable to this service or supply. If there is a discrepancy between a Medical Policy and a member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract, the benefit plan, summary plan description or contract will govern.
Cardiac hemodynamic monitoring for the management of heart failure (HF) utilizing thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB)/impedance cardiography (ICG) may be considered medically necessary in the ambulatory and outpatient setting when medical history, physical examination, and standard assessment tools provide insufficient information, and the treating physician has determined that TEB/ICG hemodynamic data are necessary for appropriate management of the patient, for any of the following indications:
Cardiac hemodynamic monitoring for the management of HF is considered experimental, investigational and unproven in the ambulatory care and outpatient setting utilizing, including but not limited to the following technologies:
NOTE: This policy only addresses use of these techniques in ambulatory care and outpatient settings.
Originally, this policy was created in 2010 based on peer reviewed literature. Periodic literature searches of the MedLine database, through December 2011, have been done. The following is a summary of the literature reviewed.
Evaluation of a diagnostic technology typically focuses on the following three parameters:
Additionally, when considering invasive monitoring, any improvements in patient outcomes must be outweighed by surgical and device-related risks associated with implantable devices.
A number of small case series have reported variable results regarding the relationship between measurements of cardiac output determined by TEB and thermodilution techniques. For example, Belardinelli and colleagues compared the use of TEB, thermodilution, and the Fick method to estimate cardiac output in 25 patients with documented coronary artery disease and a previous myocardial infarction. (3) There was a high degree of correlation between cardiac output as measured by thoracic bioimpedance and other invasive measures. Shoemaker and colleagues reported on a multicenter trial of TEB compared to thermodilution in 68 critically ill patients. (4) Again, the changes in cardiac output as measured by TEB closely tracked those measured by thermodilution. In contrast, Sageman and Amundson did not recommend the use of bioimpedance as a postoperative monitoring technique for patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass surgery. (5) In this study of 50 patients, only a poor correlation was found between thermodilution and bioimpedance, due primarily to the postoperative distortion of the patient's anatomy and the presence of endotracheal, mediastinal, and chest tubes. In a study of 34 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, Doering and colleagues also found that there was poor agreement between TEB and thermodilution in the immediate postoperative period. (6) The largest case series, the COST study, has been published in abstract form only. (7) In this case series, estimations of cardiac output using thermodilution methods and TEB were performed in 191 patients who underwent right heart catheterization for a variety of clinical indications. Linear regression analysis revealed an overall correlation of Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) r=0.73. The authors concluded that cardiac output can be reliably measured with either thermodilution or TEB and that bioimpedance has the additional value of being noninvasive.
Packer and colleagues reported on use of ICG to predict risk of decompensation in patients with chronic HF. (8) In this study, 212 stable patients with HF and a recent episode of decompensation underwent serial evaluation and blinded ICG testing every two weeks for 26 weeks and were followed up for the occurrence of death or worsening HF requiring hospitalization or emergent care. During the study, 59 patients experienced 104 episodes of decompensated HF: 16 deaths, 78 hospitalizations, and 10 emergency visits. A composite score of three ICG parameters was a strong predictor of an event during the next 14 days (p=0.0002). Patients noted to have a high-risk composite score at a visit had a 2.5 times greater likelihood of a near-term event, and those with a low-risk score had a 70% lower likelihood when compared to ones at intermediate risk. However, the impact of use of these results on clinical outcomes is not known.
While results of more studies of ICG are being published, many studies are limited by small populations and uncertainty about the impact on clinical outcomes. In addition, not all studies have evaluated additional novel markers, such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). In a 2006 review article, Wang and Gottlieb comment that there are limited data concerning improved outcomes using ICG in the clinical setting and that, given the data, ICG use should be limited to the research setting. (9)
Additionally, in 2002, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) published a technology assessment on thoracic bioimpedance, which concluded that limitations in available studies did not allow the agency to draw meaningful conclusions to determine the accuracy of thoracic bioimpedance compared to other hemodynamic parameters. (10, 11) The agency also found a lack of studies focusing on clinical outcomes and little evidence to draw conclusions on patient outcomes for the following clinical areas:
In November 2006, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a decision memorandum on the second reconsideration of its coverage policy for TEB. (12) CMS's national coverage determination found thoracic bioimpedance to be reasonable and necessary for the following indications:
While CMS allows for coverage of TEB in these conditions, it acknowledges that there is a "…general absence of studies evaluating the impact of using thoracic bioimpedance for managing patients with cardiac disease…." CMS concluded in its reconsideration that TEB use in the management of hypertension is non-covered due to inadequate evidence. Medicare also specified that thoracic bioimpedance is noncovered "in the management of all forms of hypertension (with the exception of drug-resistant hypertension…)."
Thoracic bioimpedance may have an important role in the outpatient management of HF, but "earlier studies have not sought to evaluate the clinical importance of the data generated by impedance cardiography [ICG]. They have not determined whether evaluation of the status of the central circulation by impedance cardiography can predict clinical events and, thus, be used to alter the treatment of patients. Obtaining such information is critical if the use of impedance cardiography is to expand from its present application where it has excelled, in short-term management of acutely ill hospitalized patients, to the long-term outpatient management of recently ill or hospitalized patients with severe chronic disorders." (13)
In contrast to TEB, relatively little literature has been published on inert gas rebreathing, although a literature search suggests that this technique has been used as a research tool for many years. (14-17) A literature search did not identify any clinical articles exploring how inert gas rebreathing may be used to improve patient management in the outpatient setting.
Arterial pressure/ Valsalva - Left Ventricular End Diastolic Pressure (LVEDP)
Studies have shown high correlation between invasive and non-invasive measurement of LVEDP. For example, McIntyre and colleagues reported a comparison of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) measured by right heart catheter and an arterial pressure amplitude ration during Valsalva. (18) The two techniques were highly correlated in both stable and unstable patients (R2 [coefficient of determination] =0.80–0.85). More recently, Sharma et al. performed simultaneous measurements of the LVEDP based on three techniques: direct measurement of LVEDP, considered the gold standard; indirect measurement using PCWP; and non-invasively using the VeriCor device in 49 patients scheduled for elective cardiac catheterization. (19) The VeriCor® measurement correlated well with the direct measures of LVEDP (r=0.86) and outperformed the PCWP measurement, which had a correlation coefficient of 0.81 compared to the gold standard.
A literature search did not identify any published articles that evaluated the role of non-invasive measurement of the LVEDP on the management of the patient. Therefore, evidence is inadequate to permit scientific conclusions regarding the clinical utility of this technology.
Implantable Direct Pulmonary Artery Pressure - Left Ventricular End Diastolic Pressure (LVEDP)
The CHAMPION (Cardiomems Heart Sensor Allows Monitoring of Pressure to Improve Outcomes in New York Heart Association [NYHA] Class III Patients) Trial Study was a prospective, single-blind, randomized, controlled, trial (RCT) conducted at 64 centers in the U.S. (20) This trial was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an implanted, passive, wireless, pulmonary artery pressure monitor developed by CardioMEMS for the ambulatory management of HF patients. The CardioMEMS pulmonary artery pressure monitoring device has not yet received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and is currently under FDA review. The CardioMEMS device is implanted using a heart catheter system fed through the femoral vein and requires patients have an overnight hospital admission for observation after implantation. The CHAMPION study enrolled 550 patients who had at least one previous hospitalization for HF in the past 12 months and were classified as having NYHA Class III HF for at least three months. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was not a criterion for participation, but patients were required to be on medication and stabilized for one month before participating in the study if LVEF was reduced. All enrolled patients received implantation of the CardioMEMS pulmonary artery radiofrequency pressure sensor monitor and standard of care HF disease management. HF disease management followed American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines along with local disease management programs. Patients were randomized by computer in a 1:1 ratio to the treatment group (n=270), which used data from the pulmonary artery pressure sensor in patient management or the control group (n=280), which did not incorporate pulmonary artery pressure sensor data into patient management. All patients took daily pulmonary artery pressure readings but were masked to their treatment groups for the first six months.
The primary efficacy outcome of this trial was the rate of HF-related hospitalizations in the six months after implantation. The primary safety outcomes were device-related or system-related complications (DSRC) and pressure-sensor failures. (21) The investigators reported a statistically significant reduction in readmissions for HF at six months by 30% in the treatment group (n=83) over the control group (n=120) (hazard ratio [HR] 0.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.60-0.84, p<0.0001). This benefit was maintained over the entire randomized follow-up (mean 15 months) (153 vs. 253 hospitalizations, respectively) (HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.55-0.75, p<0.0001). For the primary safety outcomes, freedom from DSRC was 98.6% with no occurrences of pressure-sensor failure. However, 15 adverse events occurred including eight which were DSRC and seven which were procedure-related. Additionally, length of stay for these hospitalizations was significantly shorter in the treatment group when compared to the control group (2.2 days vs. 3.8 days, respectively, p=0.02). There was also benefit reported for other secondary outcomes. There were also improvements in the secondary outcomes of mean pulmonary pressure and quality of life (QOL) at six months. There was no difference in overall mortality, although the trial was not designed with sufficient power to evaluate mortality benefit. There were 15 deaths in the treatment group and 26 deaths in the control group at six months (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.40-1.51, p=0.45).
A limitation of the CHAMPION trial is the lack of double-blinding. While the patients were blinded and efforts to maintain patient masking were undertaken, the clinicians were not blinded to treatment assignment. The unblinded clinicians were presumably also making decisions on whether to hospitalize patients, and these decisions may have been influenced by knowledge of treatment assignment. Also, the design of this trial does not allow comparison of the incremental risk of implanting a device compared to no implantation, since all patients had a device implanted.
Stevenson and colleagues reported on the COMPASS-HF (Chronicle Offers Management to Patients with Advanced Signs and Symptoms of Heart Failure Study) randomized trial in 2010. (22) The COMPASS trial evaluated outcomes on 274 patients implanted with a Medtronic hemodynamic monitoring system. Patients enrolled in the study were stabilized NYHA Class III or IV HF patients and had at least one HF-related event within the six months prior to enrollment. LVEF was not a criterion. Similar to the CHAMPION trial, all patients were implanted with the monitoring device and received standard HF disease treatment during the first six months post-implantation. One half of the patients were randomized to incorporate pressure monitoring data into HF management, while information from the other half of patients was not used in treatment decisions. The authors of this article reported 100 of 261 patients (38%) from both treatment groups had HF-related events during the six months follow-up despite weight-guided management. Separate reports on HF events by treatment group were not provided. HF event risk increased with higher readings of chronic 24-hour estimated pulmonary artery pressure and at 18 mm Hg diastolic pressure, event risk was 20% and increased to 34% at 25 mm Hg and to 56% at 33 mm Hg. While pressure readings correlated with event risk, the authors noted optimal filling pressures and needed surveillance for event avoidance have not been established.
Ongoing Clinical Trials
Additional clinical trials registered at online site ClinicalTrials.gov have the potential to add to our understanding for these devices in the management of chronic HF. The Left Atrial Pressure Monitoring to Optimize Heart Failure Therapy (LAPTOP-HF) is a randomized trial to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of an implantable device, the HeartPOD™ System or Promote® LAP System, for left atrial pressure measurements to manage HF (NCT01121107). This trial began in April 2010 and is expected to enroll 730 patients for completion in 2013.
Practice Guidelines and Position Statements
The 2009 ACC Foundation (ACCF)/AHA Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Heart Failure in Adults conclude that no role for periodic invasive or noninvasive hemodynamic measurements has been established in the management of HF, stating "Most drugs used for the treatment of HF [heart failure] are prescribed on the basis of their ability to improve symptoms or survival rather than their effect on hemodynamic variables. (23) Moreover, the initial and target doses of these drugs are selected on the basis of experience in controlled trials and are not based on the changes they may produce in cardiac output or pulmonary wedge pressure."
The quality of the evidence to date (July 2011) remains limited. RCTs, as well as studies, that specifically address use of ambulatory cardiac hemodynamic monitoring compared with current care are lacking. Some form of intensive outpatient monitoring and follow-up for patients with HF may be warranted, but convincing evidence of the use of the above mentioned technologies cannot be supported at the present time. Additional clinical trials registered at ClinicalTrials.gov have the potential to add to our understanding for these devices in the management of chronic HF.
Evidence from randomized controlled trials is emerging for invasive pulmonary artery pressure monitoring. One report from the CHAMPION RCT reports that pressure readings may be used to reduce HF-related hospitalizations. However, this trial was single-blinded, and the decision to hospitalize patients may have been influenced by knowledge of group assignment. Also, the surgical risks of pressure monitoring devices must be balanced with improvements in net health outcomes and compared longer-term with outcomes of traditional management. Therefore the technology remains experimental, investigational and unproven.
2013 Update
A search of peer reviewed literature was completed through February 2013. The following is a summary of the literature reviewed.
The CMS position on TEB remains unchanged from the 2006 decision memorandum. (12) No additional literature to utilize TEB or ICG for the management of HF was found. Therefore, the coverage remains unchanged.
No additional clinical trials utilizing inert gas rebreathing to treat HF were found. Therefore, the coverage remains unchanged.
In 2012, Silber and colleagues reported on finger photoplethysmography during Valsalva performed in 33 patients prior to cardiac catheterization. (24) LVEDP greater than 15 mm Hg was identified by finger photoplethysmography during Valsalva with 85% sensitivity (95% confidence interval [CI]: 54-97%) and 80% specificity (95% CI: 56-93%). The evidence remains inadequate to permit a change in coverage.
Implantable Direct Pulmonary Artery Pressure - Left Ventricular End Diastolic Pressure (LVEDP)
In 2011, Adamson et al. reported on the Reducing Decompensation Events Utilizing Intracardiac Pressures in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure (REDUCEhf ) study that evaluated an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) coupled with an implantable hemodynamic monitoring (IHM) system. (25) The REDUCEhf study was a prospective, randomized, multicenter, single-blinded trial of 400 patients with NYHA class II or III symptoms who were hospitalized for HF within the past 12 months and qualified for an ICD. The study had expected to enroll 1,300 patients, but after ICD lead failures had been reported in other studies, enrollment was limited to 400 patients. After the ICD was placed, an IHM sensor was implanted in the right ventricle. Similar to the COMPASS-HF and CHAMPION trials discussed earlier, the treatment group of 202 patients received HF management that incorporated pressure monitoring information from the IHM compared to the control group of 198 patients that did not use pressure monitoring information in treatment planning. After 12 months of follow-up, rates of HF hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and urgent clinic visits did not differ between groups (HR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.61-1.61, p=0.98). While the study was underpowered to detect differences in these events because of limited enrollment, there were no trends favorable to the monitoring group to suggest that the lack of difference was due to inadequate power. Therefore, the coverage remains unchanged.
Left Atrial Pressure (LAP) Measurement
No additional information was located during search of peer reviewed literature using LAP measurements for the treatment of HF. Therefore, the coverage remains unchanged.
As of December 2012, the Left Atrial Pressure Monitoring to Optimize Heart Failure Therapy (LAPTOP-HF) is still recruiting patients with an expected completion date of August 2013. The HeartPOD™ System or Promote® LAP System, for left atrial pressure measurements to manage HF is an implantable device. (NCT01121107).
According to the ClinicalTrials.gov database, the Prevention of Heart Failure Events with Impedance Cardiography Testing (PREVENT-HF) trial status is unknown as the last verification was June 2009. This study will evaluate the impact of incorporating ICG readings into treatment planning using the BioZ Dx device in 500 patients. (NCT00409916) The PREVENT-HF trial will follow patients for 24-52 weeks and is expected to be completed in December 2012.
The collaborative 2009 ACCF/AHA Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Heart Failure in Adults has not been changed since the last review of this policy. (23)
The 2011 update of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence clinical guideline on chronic HF management does not include outpatient hemodynamic monitoring as a recommendation. (26)
No other professional society guidelines were found that address thoracic bioimpedance, inert gas rebreathing, arterial pressure/Valsalva, implantable direct pressure monitoring of the pulmonary artery, or LAP measurements in the outpatient setting for the management of HF.
The evidence is not sufficient to determine that outpatient hemodynamic monitoring of patients with HF improves outcomes. The optimal filling pressures and threshold readings for event avoidance have not been established. The REDUCEhf study was also single-blinded but reported no differences in HF event rates, including hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and urgent clinic visits, despite the inclusion of pressure monitoring readings in treatment planning. Finally, FDA-approval for invasive pulmonary artery pressure monitoring devices has been denied.
For other types of hemodynamic monitoring, there is little available evidence on efficacy. RCTs, as well as studies that specifically address use of ambulatory cardiac hemodynamic monitoring compared with current care are lacking for inert gas rebreathing, arterial pressure/Valsalva, and LAP measurements techniques.
While some evidence suggests that intensive outpatient pulmonary artery pressure monitoring may reduce hospitalizations for patients with HF, convincing evidence that the use of these technologies improves health outcomes over standard, active HF patient management is not available. Therefore, these technologies, with the exception of TEB/ICG, remain experimental, investigational and unproven.

New York's new Governor, David Paterson, added his support to the idea of charging drivers to enter the busiest sections of Manhattan. The city's congestion pricing project is one of the largest toll system projects in the US.
The move by Governor David Paterson "rescued the controversial program from the brink of death by submitting a bill to the State Legislature to establish it. The turnaround came after an impassioned pitch to the governor from Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg behind closed doors at City Hall on Wednesday, when Mr. Paterson privately expressed support for the proposal, city officials said. He warned the mayor that he first had to tell Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who has shown little inclination to approve it, the officials said."
The congestion pricing fee is expected to be $8, and includes a surcharge on taxis.
Highlights of the bill include the following provisions recommended by the Commission:
"We expect that revenue from the Congestion Pricing plan will support more than $4.5 billion in needed capital improvements for mass transit and meaningfully reduce traffic into the Central Business District of Manhattan," said Governor Paterson.

@DadOfFour1972 soon... real soon... it's currently at LOT check
Adding Yoshi would be cool.
I would like to point out there is already a 8-bit version of Yoshi, although non-playable.
It was used for the Super Mario Deluxe game on Gameboy Color.
screenshot: http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/158253-super-mario-bros-deluxe-game-boy-color-screenshot-finishing.png
@useranodyne it's not a clone, it's done by the original designer... he just sold the Ichi IP to the publisher, so he's not allowed to use the name Ichi. Consider this a spiritual successor.
good friends of mine made this game.. it's really freaking awesome! lots of content, cool gameplay and visuals!
@Captain_Gonru ofcourse I don't want you to buy a third party game just for the sake of it. A game needs to be good, period. But you agreed with Windy's statement which was "Im going to pass on this golf game if its 1.00 dollar or more above the android market pricing".
I think skipping over a game just for that reasons is bad.
@Windy no game should have game crashing bugs, regardless if it's a mobile port or not. In fact, if the devs sell a broken game for 99 cents.. i still think it's a waste of money!
The devs and games you mention have nothing to do with this Golf game. So saying you won't get this golf game unless the price is the same as the mobile version is a bit harsh.
Also, comparing this to Bertil Horberg or even me (Tappingo 1&2 are also only 2,99) is a bit unfair. Both Bertil and me are single indie developers. While these guys have to keep a complete studio running. So development costs are different.
@Windy @Captain_Gonru
Hmm.. I think you guys are looking at it from the wrong direction. Here's another view:
The mobile market place is so over saturated and competitive that developers HAVE TO price their games under $1, even though the developer think their game is worth much more.
In this case it would be good for Nintendo players to buy the 3DS versions (even at a higher price) to show that the 3DS eshop market is a valid option. This will then increase the number of third party developers hopefully
credit where credit is due please... this game is developed by the talented Paradigm Entertainment (really cool story btw) and not Nintendo itself.
@R-L-A-George I'm talking about the in-game cartoon/fmv story movies insteaad of text, not the real TV cartoon show
this are actually my favorite Zelda games I don't have the patience to read all the text stuff in other Zelda's. Having the cartoons was awesome.
@Extremist thanks for the support!
I know exactly what you mean. And I'm really honored you want to play something I made so badly
The problem is that 'real' gamers only make up a small portion of my sales. A big chunk is coming from the casual group. Since I really need the money to spend on development of other games, I think we are all better off with delaying the game
@Zodiak13 thanks for the support man!
It's not so much that those games compete with each other, but they compete over space. There are only so many spots on the 'Nintendo 3DS spotlight' bar at Nintendo.com. Nintendo can only talk about x-number of games in their newsletter. There are only so many slots on the eshop home screen.
Tappingo 2 is smaller than Layton or Gunvolt. So naturally this week those spotlight positions will go to those games. Next week though; all spotlights are on Tappingo 2.
Nintendo.com and the eshop reach a lot of people that don't necessarily read gaming websites or magazines. But they are probably still interested in a fun puzzle game.
So having those spotlights on Tappingo 2 can be really crucial for sales.
@Extremist you're welcome! thanks for the support man
@ultraraichu exactly! that's why I thought it was very important to mention it
@minotaurgamer I actually did drop out of art school.. worked for EA and THQ on more serious stuff.. but I just really like pixel art
It's fun to see how you guys think this game is garbage solely based on visuals. Now you might not like pixel art as a style, that's fine. But when it comes to actually pushing the FPS gerne forward it's a really helpful style.
One of the key things I want to break away from are those linear levels. Instead I want to offer something complex with a certain flow. At the same time, I want to let the player battle out epic gun fights with many different enemies at once.
Pixel art style helps with this because it makes enemies and powerups really readable. We give each item and enemy its own palette this means that when you're running down a level and you see something purple in the corner of your eye, you will know instantly what monster that is.
So the art style really helps to give the player a better overview and grip on the more complex and chaotic world.
@DadOfFour1972 Will come a bit later to EU. This is my first game I self publish and doing the translations, e-manual,ratings,etc take a lot of time (next to actual development).
@Sergio151 soon... really soon.
@TheRealThanos sorry, thought they skipped a year. But still, I'm happy to see the biggest third party developer/publisher to hang in there with Nintendo.
Sure, I would love to see games of better quality. But with the market totally down, small user base and high investments, that's unlikely to happen at this moment.
This is probably a unpopulair opinion, but I think it's great what EA is doing. It's not their fault the WiiU has such as small userbase, that's something Nintendo should solve.
You cannot expect a public company to invest into a platform or product they cannot make a profit on.
This however does show that Nintendo is moving in the right direction; because one of the biggest third party developers/publishers is back on the system!
@sinalefa @Frapp I actually did spend a small fortune David, however upon discovering that my studio was actually my bathroom he walked out.. I vaguely heard him mumble something about 'standards'
Because I spend a considerable amount of the budget on David, half of the puzzles in Tappingo 2 will not be colored in
@Froggievilleus don't worry! I'm not offended.. I know you liked the game and all I was just wondering if you thought you felt like you should have gotten more content for the $2,99
@Nintendojuenger it seems there are two groups, one who loves more like the relaxing zen-like puzzles (which Tappingo offers) and the other group who really want their brains to crack on the puzzles!
Tappingo 2 is more of the same. However, I am working on a new puzzle mechanic. I'm not sure If I will put this eventually in Tappingo or make it a game on it's own. It's basically like Tappingo but you have prismas on the grid, when hit by colored lines it will mix the colors and spit out a new colored line!
@Froggievilleus too short!? how long did it take you to finish all puzzles? on average it took gamers 8 hours! I know full priced retail games that don't last that long, let alone a $2,99 game!
@ToonLink795 yes ofcourse that's possible it supports most standard file formats (bmp,jpg,gif,tga,etc for art).
@andrea987 Thanks! and yeah, go ahead and email me
@Kaze_Memaryu it is tile based, but not stuck to one genre. Programming is done in a C-like scripting language I invented specially for Gomba. Locking code is possible, not sure I will include that feature though.
@nostalgianinja QR codes will separate resources,yes. Also, please note (maybe you missed this) you can just put the program onto a SD card as well.
@nostalgianinja the 3DS is not a open system. I'm not allowed to just simply make my app connect to whatever server I want.
@IrateGamer very well, your wish will be granted!
@vonseux @Dezzy Because Nintendo does not Judge on style/taste, and hopefully they never will. You guys might think this art style doesn't look good, other people might really like it!
Also, I have been playing this game for quite some time.. and it's actually really good. Plays like classic Megaman and Castlevania!
this looks really RAD.. SNES RAD! love it!
Thanks for the kind comments!
@PvtOttobot yep, before the end of the year that should happen indeed
@6ch6ris6 wait a few more weeks....
I was waiting for a good moment to buy a WiiU... this is it! this pack will be mine!
@gurtifus No, you do not need a devkit. All you need is a standard retail 3DS and the eshop app.
@NintendoMonkey yes, it will come to EU and US
@Liquid_ice It is not a emulator. It's a simulator. Best way to explain this to non-technical people would be; If you create a movie/game in Flash, you can run it on any platform that has the flash player installed. So imagine Adobe would release a flash player for eshop, now you'll be able to run flash movies/games on your 3DS. Even though the actual flash movie format has nothing to do with the 3DS.
@ToastyYogurt That probably won't be possible. It would require a keyboard on the touch screen or something. That would be really tiresome.

Used Car: 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Review
Though the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen has a low reliability rating, test drivers liked its upscale interior and the diesel Jetta SportWagen's great fuel economy.
The 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen is ranked:
- #8 in Used Wagons under $20K
- #2 in 2013 Wagons
The base 2013 VW Jetta SportWagen comes with a four-cylinder gasoline engine, and reviewers wrote that it delivers adequate off-the-line acceleration and respectable power for highway passing. The Jetta SportWagen TDI comes with a turbodiesel four-cylinder engine. Many automotive journalists preferred the diesel-powered Jetta SportWagen because it gets better fuel economy than the gasoline model and has strong passing power. The base Jetta SportWagen comes with a five-speed manual transmission, and a six-speed automatic is available, while the diesel model is available with a six-speed manual or a six-speed automated manual. According to the EPA, the base 2013 VW Jetta SportWagen gets 23/33 mpg city/highway, which is good for the class, while the diesel model gets up to 30/42, which is excellent for a wagon. Reviewers said the Jetta SportWagen has a comfortable ride, powerful brakes and accurate, nicely weighted steering. Test drivers wrote that it handles nimbly overall, though some noticed marked body roll when taking very sharp corners.
Reviewers agreed that the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen has a nicer cabin than many wagons, with upscale materials and excellent build quality. They also appreciated its straightforward dashboard layout and intuitive audio and climate controls. The front seats are spacious and highly adjustable for taller people, said automotive critics, and the rear seat is comfortable, though it lacks legroom for those taller than 6 feet. The 2013 Jetta SportWagen has a maximum of 66.9 cubic feet of cargo space, which is above average for the class. Standard features include an auxiliary input and Bluetooth. Leatherette upholstery, an iPod input, proximity key, push-button start, navigation and a panoramic glass sunroof are available.

Other Wagons to Consider
Critics appreciated the 2013 Subaru Outback's spacious front and rear seats, as well as its cargo area, which is one of the largest in the class. They also liked its powerful available six-cylinder engine and the extra traction provided by its standard all-wheel drive system.
The 2013 Toyota Prius v gets fantastic gas mileage, and reviewers wrote that transitions between gas and electric power are seamless. Critics liked its roomy back seat, which can slide and recline, and its large, versatile cargo area.

Felt-Pen Taggings' Plague CK Locales
SILVERDALE

Deputies are investigating a rash of recent graffiti-vandalism incidents in which the culprits almost always used a black-tipped marker to deface property, according to the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office.

The first "tagging," which occurred at the 2000 block of Randall Way early Saturday and resulted in several cars and a construction trailer being marked, is also the only one in which witnesses spotted possible suspects in the case.

Witnesses described the culprits as four young men, ages 17 to 20, driving gray Honda Accord 4-door and silver Toyota 4-door vehicles, reports said.

All other graffiti incidents occurred sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, and deputies believe they could have been committed by the same perpetrators.

The incidents include:

The Navy's Human Resources Center in the 3200 block of Randall Way had cars in its parking lot written on with what appeared to be a Magic Marker.

The Puget Sound Blood Center, also on Randall Way, had its bus written upon with the same type of marker.

Kitsap Sports, in the 10900 block of Myhre Place, had graffiti written on its exterior walls.

Silverdale Waterfront Park had the same felt-tip markings on "playground equipment, tables, and in the concrete area of the Veteran's Memorial," reports said.

Monica's Waterfront Bakery and Cafe on the 3400 block of Byron Street had a metal container behind its building tagged by the marker.

A business complex at the 3200 block of Plaza Road had most of its buildings tagged as well.

Pier 1 Imports and Clear Creek Psychological Associates, on the 3230 block of Plaza Road, had windows, doors and mailboxes marked with graffiti.

In nearly every tagging, the suspects painted similar phrases, according to reports.

Anyone with information about the graffiti and those responsible for the vandalism is asked to call 911.

Smile, It is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart..
I am a person of character, integrity and honesty. I know what I want, what I can offer and where I am going. I am confident, committed, loyal, respectful, loving, and optimistic. My family and friends are very important to me; I am always there if they need me. I have two children (10 & 18 years old) which I adore and are the light of my life. I love the outdoors from hiking, running by the seashore or on a trail up on the mountains, river rafting or just being outdoors in nature. Also, I enjoy going out to dinner or drinks with friends, watching movies, dancing sometimes, or going on trips to new places and discovering new good restaurants. I am hoping to find a man who has a good heart, who treats others as he wants to be treated, and is not judgmental. And he is classy and a gentleman. But first of all, for him to be my best friend, someone I can talk to, laugh with, joke around, and just be ourselves and feel comfortable around each other. And maybe one day grow old together. I'd like a man to stand by me as I'd always stand by him; I feel that you truly know the character of a person when you have walked besides them in the valley of trouble that life can sometimes bring. If you are ready for someone fun, true and committed I would love to hear from you... Good luck in your search.

The good elements first-
We loved meandering with the goats in the parking lot while awaiting service of our included continental breakfast. The staff were very warm and friendly and helpful, making a wonderful first impression of the St. Lucian people to us, an impression to be reinforced all week. The large balcony of our apartment overlooked the working fishing port, and provided nice, relaxing views after our flight. The shower had good water pressure for a restful clean up. We were pleasantly surprised to have a good wireless internet connection in the room! This is a convenient place if you just want to flop after your flight.
But flop is a good word. I don't know how other reviewers could call this place clean. We wouldn't walk into the shower without flip-flops on! The curtains in the room, plastic shower curtains, were ripped. Shower walls, windows, tile and floors were all dirty. The toilet was badly stained. The mirror was so smeared as to be useless. But the light was so dim it would not have been useful even if we could see in it. The bi-fold door for the closet was leaning against the wall next to the closet. And the bathroom sink had no water running in it. Luckily we had an apartment and could use the kitchen sink for washing up and brushing our teeth. I applied make up sitting out on the balcony with a purse mirror! The bed was mushy soft, but the sheets were clean. There were a lot of maintenance issues-lack thereof-that got us a bit nervous about our impending vacation's comfort.
Driving around Vieux Fort furthered this trepidation. It was Sunday, so not much was open in town. Groups of people were gathered socializing, some napping lying on stoops and sidewalks, mangy dogs, goats and chickens wandered around, all making a picture of a Caribbean Island on a lazy day. The poor road maintenance was a foreshadow of things to come and white knuckle driving all week. The poverty and lack of cleanliness were also somewhat intimidating. Once out of Vieux Fort, the availability of accommodations more up to American standards were available. I'd advise visitors who are driving and exploring to take a drive around Vieux Fort to see it, go up to the lighthouse (very slowly and carefully as the roads are narrow, steep, rutted and full of hairpin turns, with left side driving), check out Anse de Sables and have lunch al fresco at The Reef beach bar. Then get out of town!

models simulate only the LEO environment, however; similar models with the capability to predict the effectiveness of debris reduction measures on the semisynchronous or GEO environment have not yet been developed.
Figures 8-7 and 8-8 show the result of one of these model simulations (Rex and Eichler, 1993). Figure 8-7 shows the predicted effect of various debris reduction methods on the LEO population of collision fragments and other types of debris in 2042, and Figure 8-8 shows how these measures are predicted to affect the total LEO debris population over time. In Figure 8-7, the first bar shows the estimated population of LEO objects larger than 1 cm in 1992, and the other bars show the predicted 2042 population of debris if various reduction methods are implemented. Scenario 1 shows the predicted 2042 LEO population resulting from an immediate and complete cessation of all space launches. The model suggests that in this case, although the population of launched objects and explosion debris would decrease as a result of orbital decay, some collision debris and some debris from explosions of objects already in orbit would be generated, keeping the total population nearly constant over the 50 years of the simulation. Scenario 2 represents the other extreme, in which the linear growth of space activity drives the population of objects

Paging Through: Mysteries
My parents are snowbirds (when the snow flies, so do they) so they often read this column after it has run. They've recently returned to their Brookfield nest, and my mom wasted no time influencing this month's recommendations. After finishing Susan Elia MacNeal's "His Majesty's Hope" (Bantam, $15), the third in an engrossing WWII series, my mom said, "You need to recommend this and the author needs to write faster."
Maggie Hope, the series hero, has dreamed of becoming a spy ever since she was a "typist to Prime Minister Winston Churchill" and then a "maths tutor to the Princess Elizabeth" at Windsor. As the Nazis tighten their grip across Europe, Maggie gets her chance. Thanks to her secret training (including lessons from a "Glaswegian safecracker"), her keen intelligence with codes, and her "big stones" (as the Brits say), Maggie is recruited to an elite group of spies to infiltrate the offices of the Nazi hierarchy. »Read Full Article

Woman 'jet hikes' on private planes for an entire year
This enterprising travel writer has been hitching free rides with amateur pilots across the United States. It's fun, but it's not easy.
Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 02:53 PM
I've hitchhiked a few times in my life when I was younger. But having gotten stranded in weird, isolated villages; soaked in the rain; and scared witless by one particular driver, I decided the bus or train might be a better option.
Not so for travel writer Amanda Nolan, for whom run-of-the-mill hitchhiking seemed a little too easy.
She took to the skies instead.
Documenting her experiences at her website Jet Hiking, Amanda has been traveling almost non-stop for the last year, hitching rides with amateur pilots in an attempt to get to every state in mainland USA. And she only has eight more to go.
She's had to hang around airports for days on end, never knowing when her next ride will show up. But her travels have shown her a side of the country that few of us get to experience, and have introduced her to a passionate community of hobbyist pilots keen to share their world with others:
"After a night of braving thunderstorms, I carted my damp backpack and tent to the airport in squishy wet shoes to meet Kristin, who said she was overdue for a trip in her Grumman and offered to give me a lift. Kristin recalled the days when she had similar adventures and often relied on the kindness of strangers. She bought her plane in 1985 and didn't tell her parents until six months later when she asked them to 'hold the cat for a while' and became an airplane hobo traveling the U.S. and Canada, sleeping in airports and meeting new friends. We opened the canopy and headed to her home base in Lusby, Maryland, where she forgot to mention that there was often some random wildlife on the runway – like the deer that just stared at the plane while we were landing before it jumped away into the woods."
As someone interested in greener travel, I have to note that the aviation industry in general is responsible for considerable air pollution and carbon emissions. Whether Amanda's prolific ride-sharing with hobbyist pilots is greener than commercial travel is probably something that an egghead could debate for hours. On the one hand, she's hitching a ride with folks who are probably flying anyway. On the other, she's responsible for her share of the emissions in each flight she takes.
Either way, I have to admit that Amanda's journey sounds like an awful lot of fun, so much so that she's considering getting her own pilots license (hey, maybe one day she can fly in a solar-powered plane). In the interests of sharing resources, however, she's also proposed a rather novel idea. Given the countless amateur pilots around the country, why not establish an organized ridesharing scheme for folks who need to get from A to B and would like to experience a different kind of flying? Here's how she described the idea in an interview with the Daily Mail:
"I think an organised ride-share system between pilots and travelers to cut costs on both ends could make this a reasonable option for travelers with a limited amount of time. I definitely recommend visiting a local airport or flying club and seeing what the general aviation side is all about."
