How a British Museum Curator Discovered Noah's Ark Would Have Been Round
Irving Finkel, an expert on ancient Mesopotamia, decodes a Babylonian tablet and traces its path to the Book of Genesis
In 2009, a visitor to the British Museum presented curator Irving Finkel with a fascinating artifact—a 4,000-year-old Babylonian cuneiform tablet that told of a flood, and an ark, but with mysterious details unfamiliar from previously discovered tablets of that period. Finkel's official title is Assistant Keeper of Ancient Mesopotamian script, languages, and cultures; a discovery like this was right up his alley. He spent the next several years turning the tablet over and over (literally and figuratively), trying to decode its message, and to forge a path between that text and the story that would appear in the Book of Genesis some 1,000 years later.
His new book, The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood, is the result of those efforts. On a recent visit to the museum, Hugh Levinson paid a visit to Finkel to find out what sorts of conclusions he drew, and how he arrived at them.

Get your act together, Aquino tells officials on sex-for-flight probe
MANILA, Philippines—President Aquino has ordered the executive secretary and departments of labor and justice to get their act together in investigating the "sex-for-flight" cases in the Middle East and filing appropriate charges against anyone found to be involved.
Aquino issued this directive on Tuesday during a meeting with Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz in Malacañang.
At the meeting, Baldoz submitted a report to the President outlining several "corrective measures" to address the alleged sexual exploitation of Filipino women in the Middle East by Philippine consular and labor officials.
Spare no one
"I submitted to the President an update report on the matter and discussed with him the measures that we have undertaken—and continuously undertake—after the allegations became public and complainants have surfaced," said Baldoz in a statement posted on the official government website (http://www.gov.ph/).
"I reiterated my earlier statement that no one in the DOLE (Department of Labor and Employment) would be spared if any official or employee is found to have violated our laws after a thorough and impartial investigation," she said.
In turn, the President told Baldoz to coordinate with Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa and Justice Secretary Leila de Lima.
"I was instructed by the President that should the investigating team find basis for the filing of criminal charges, I should coordinate with the Office of the Executive Secretary and the Secretary of Justice," said Baldoz.
The team that had been set up by Baldoz to conduct an investigation on the sex-for-flight controversy is now in Saudi Arabia. It will also fly to Jordan before flying home to submit its report on or before July 12.
She made no mention of the Department of Foreign Affairs, which has launched a separate investigation of the alleged sex-related offenses.
Corrective measures
In her report to the President, Baldoz outlined several corrective measures relative to the controversy which are as follows:
Issuance last June 28, 2013, of the memorandum order for the deployment of 13 female and one male personnel to augment Philippine overseas labor offices (POLOs) in three countries, namely, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 9 personnel; Jordan, 3; and Kuwait, 2. "These personnel will leave as soon as accreditation by the respective host governments is obtained," Baldoz explained.
Immediate installation of the Foreign Labor Operations Information System (FLOIS) in all 37 POLOs overseas, with the Middle East POLOs as a priority. The system will record all POLO transactions and make the data immediately accessible to DOLE, Philippine Overseas Employment Administration and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration.
"The FLOIS will allow us to monitor the number of wards being accommodated in our Migrant Workers and Other Filipinos Resource Centers, commonly known as Bahay Kalinga," she remarked.
Development of a streamlined process of recruitment and deployment in both Saudi Arabia and the Philippines, and the development of a joint onsite dispute settlement system, case handling, repatriation and operation of the Saudi megarecruitment agencies.

SCAPE Wins 2014 Buckminster Fuller Challenge with Climate Change Adaptation Plan
"Don't fight forces, use them." - R. Buckminster Fuller
SCAPE's comprehensive climate change adaptation and community development project, Living Breakwaters has been announced as winner of the 2014 Fuller Challenge, "socially responsible design's highest award." Announced by the Buckminster Fuller Institute (BFI), the proposal was selected over seven shortlisted humanitarian initiatives and will receive a $100,000 prize for their innovative solution to solve one of humanity's most pressing problems.
"Living Breakwaters is about dissipating and working with natural energy rather than fighting it. It is on the one hand an engineering and infrastructure-related intervention, but it also has a unique biological function as well. The project team understand that you cannot keep back coastal flooding in the context of climate change, but what you can do is ameliorate the force and impact of 100 and 500 year storm surges to diminish the damage through ecological interventions, while simultaneously catalyzing dialog to nurture future stewards of the built environment," said Bill Browning of Terrapin Bright Green, a 2014 senior advisor and jury member.
More on Living Breakwaters, after the break.

Tan Kim Seng
Tan Kim Seng (simplified Chinese: 陈金声; traditional Chinese: 陳金聲; pinyin: Chén Jīnshēng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tân-kim-siann; 1805-1864) was a prominent Peranakan merchant and philanthropist in Singapore in the 19th century.
Born in Malacca in 1805, Tan came to Singapore where he made a fortune as a trader. Tan started his firm, Kim Seng and Company, in 1840 and amassed a large fortune in his lifetime. His public acts of charity includes endowing a Chinese Free School, supporting the Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and improving the public waterworks in 19th century Singapore.
Tan donated generously to the building and maintenance of a school for boys known as the Chinese Free School or Chui Eng Institute. The school was originally taught in Hokkien and was one of the better schools of the time.
One of Tan's best-known donations was the sum of S$13,000 in 1857 towards building Singapore's first public waterworks to ensure a better freshwater supply to the town. The Tan Kim Seng Fountain was erected by the Municipal Commissioners to commemorate Tan's donation. However, his donation was squandered away by the Government Engineer, who hoped to make water run uphill through water pipes. In 1882, possibly out of shame and to mark the British colonial government's appreciation for such a generous gift, the fountain was installed in Fullerton Square to perpetuate his name. The fountain was moved to Battery Road in 1905 and later in 1925 to the Esplanade Park where it now stands.
Tan was also the first magistrate of Chinese descent in Singapore. He was the acknowledged Chinese leader in Singapore and Malacca, and was made a Justice of the Peace in 1850, after his father's death. He was appointed the Municipal Commission's first Asian member in 1857. His numerous contributions to the society includes the suppression of the secret society riots in 1854 between the Cantonese and the Hoklo (Hokkien) communities.
Tan gave lavish parties in which he would invite the Europeans as well as other prominent members of Singapore society of all races. A European guest who was there at his first ball, said of the feast:
- "It was a chaos of dainties, each more tempting than the other. All the fruits of the Indian Archipelago, of India, China and the West — some in their natural state, others exquisitely preserved — were piled around us."
Tan built a road in River Valley which still carries his name — Kim Seng Road. This road led through Tan's property in the area. Several other streets, such as Beng Swee Place, Jiak Kim Street and Jiak Chuan Street, are named after his descendants. Kim Seng Road is known to the Hokkiens as hong hin lo, meaning "Hong Hin road".
One of the last landscape vestiges connected with the Tan family in this area is the house, Panglima Prang (Admiral of the Fleet) on River Valley Road. It served as the early home of Tan Jiak Kim, Tan Kim Seng's grandson. This house was built in the 1860s and demolished around 1982.
Kim Seng Bridge across the Singapore River, carrying Kim Seng Road from River Valley Road to Havelock Road, was first constructed by Tan and was named after him. The cost of building the original bridge, as well as the other bearing his name in Malacca in 1862, which was opened by W.O. Cavenagh, Governor of the Straits Settlements, was defrayed by Tan. The bridge was rebuilt around 1950-1951.

INDIANA — Indiana's boys' golf team had five different players score in the 30s on the front nine at the Indiana Country Club to defeat Punxsy, 188-211, Wednesday afternoon.
"It's tough to beat a team when they have five guys play in the 30s," head coach Josh Conrad said. "That's unheard of in District IX. Indiana always has a tough team."
Indiana was led by Matt Holuta, who shot an even-par 36 and Colton Wiggins and Steve Sanderson, who each shot one-over 37s.
Gerald Gilbert Waite, 67, Punxsutawney, formerly of Frenchville, died Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011.
He was born July 20, 1944, in Madera, a son of the late Orrie and Ethel Mae (Wilks) Waite.
July 25, 1964, he married the former Darlene Kay Randolph, who survives.
Mr. Waite was a member of the Church of the Nazarene in Punxsutawney.
He worked as a plumber and maintenance man for the West Branch School District and Allied Mechanical in State College.
Sarah Straitiff, 86, Brookville, formerly of Coolspring, died Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2011, at Jefferson Manor, Brookville.
She was born July 6, 1925, in Johnsonburg, a daughter of the late George and Anna M. (Updyke) Geer.
She was married to Leonard E. Straitiff, who preceded her in death Feb. 13, 2003.
Mrs. Straitiff was employed as an assembly worker at Sylvania in Brookville, and she also worked for the Brookville Glove Company.
She was a member of the Brookville Senior Citizens and the Coolspring United Methodist Church, where she had previously served as church treasurer.
LOUISVILLE — Punxsutawney Area High School graduate Devin Mesoraco received the call every Little League baseball player dreams of Wednesday afternoon: He's been called up to the Major Leagues.
According to family sources, Mesoraco was in Louisville preparing for the Cincinnati Reds' AAA-affiliate Bats' game Wednesday when he received news that he wouldn't be playing Wednesday night, and he'd be officially called up for Cincinnati's 12:30 p.m. contest against the Philadelphia Phillies today in Cincinnati.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — If you think that the last year went by quickly, ask Punxsutawney Area School District Superintendent Dr. Keith Wolfe: He says his first year as chief administrator of a large rural school district flew right by him.
Wolfe said his first year was smooth, and it helped that the district was left in good financial shape by his predecessor, Dr. J. Thomas Frantz, who retired at the end of 2009-10 school year.
"This was my first year as a superintendent, but quite honestly, it was one of the best years that I've had as an administrator," Wolfe said.
YOUNG TOWNSHIP — Today's the day you can see what type of improvements Young Township made to Cunningham Road this summer, as the road has reopened to traffic.
Young Township Supervisor Andrew R. Meterko said the road was completely relocated, thanks to Robert and Barb Hanley, who approved a right-of-way with the township which allowed it to be moved from its former location.
Meterko said the road construction project eliminated two 90-degree turns that were part of the old dirt road, with much of the work performed by township workers and several contractors.
CINCINNATI — According members of his family, Devin Mesoraco has been called up by the Cincinnati Reds after spending this season with the AAA-affiliate Louisville Bats.
The Bats are scheduled to play this evening, but according to his dad, Doug, Devin will not play.
Mesoraco is scheduled to appear at the Reds' game against the Phillies at 12:35 p.m. Thursday.
Check back here for more information, or see tomorrow's Spirit.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Brockway Bears scored three second half touchdowns after trailing at halftime to spoil the A. J. Parise Youth Football Junior Chucks' home opener and win, 24-16, Saturday evening in Punxsutawney.
"We played well enough to win this one," Punxsy head coach Brian Ishman said. "We gave up too many big plays, and we couldn't overcome them."
Brockway found the end zone first in the contest when it received the opening kickoff and put together an 11-play, 62-yard scoring drive, capped off when Anthony Glasl connected with Jonathan Wood for a 34-yard touchdown pass.
ST. MARYS — St. Marys' girls' tennis team defeated Punxsy, 7-2, in Tuesday's match in St. Marys, one that Punxsy head coach Rose Graffius said was closer than the score indicated.
Punxsy earned wins in two of the nine matches, No. 1 singles and No. 4 doubles.
In the No. 1 singles, Punxsy's Anna Monyak defeated Mary Rosman 6-4, 6-2.
"Anna did a very good job placing the ball in No. 1 singles," Graffius said of her player's performance.
Monday morning, I awoke shivering and cocooned inside three blankets on my bed, which usually happens only as fall approaches, and fall means one thing: Football season has arrived.
In fact, Monday's cocoon incident was just a reminder for me after I spent the majority of my day Saturday at one football field or another.
The first game was an afternoon one featuring my cousin's home team, the Reynoldsville Falcons, and in the evening, I was on the sidelines taking pictures at the Junior and Senior games for the A.J. Parise Youth Football teams in Punxsutawney.

2nd and Seven –
Seventh Heaven? – Every year, the Vols seem to have one of the most
talented defensive front seven's in the nation. Last year's version was
fairly good in its own right, but the personnel losses were pretty
severe. Suffice it to say, defensive coordinator John Chavis will have
a ton of work ahead of him with this crew. The good news is that Justin
Harrell is as good as any DT in the SEC, but if the rest of the line
doesn't step up to fill the holes created by graduation, teams will
double and triple him until he's a no factor. But, the Vols usually
replace talent with talent, so don't expect too much fall off up front.
At linebacker, the situation is a little murkier, especially with
projected starting middle linebacker Marvin Mitchell's 'problems'.
Either way, keep an eye on this front seven this fall and how well the
holes in this defense get filled.
3rd and Three –
Foster's Deli – After getting a wide-open opportunity late in the
season to carry the football after Gerald Riggs, Jr. was lost for the
season, Arian Foster took the ball and ran and ran and ran and ran (man,
what is it about running backs from San Diego, California?). No one
seemed to have an answer for the talented Californian. Over the last
five games of the year, Foster registered more than 100 yards in each
game, including 223 yards on 40 carries against Vanderbilt. Ainge will
need as much help as possible this season and this bruising, breakaway
back should provide him a game changing weapon. Foster has the speed to
get into the secondary and the power to blow through it. He's only
scratched the surface of what he can do, and 2006 should be his national
coming out party.
4th and One – Triple
Play – Robert Meachem, Bret Smith and Jayson Swain haven't stood out
individually for the Volunteers, but as a group, they're a solid trio
who must continue to blossom this year for Ainge. Meachem led the Vols
with 29 receptions last season, but has yet to really explode on the
scene as was expected when he arrived from Tulsa, OK. Smith is probably
the team's best red zone receiver, while Swain is a big, physical threat
who creates mismatches with his size. All three must be more consistent
catching the football, but in Cutcliffe's offense, the three of them
should be on the field together a good deal. This threesome should
combine for 150 catches+ in 2006.

U.S.: Diplomats Shouldn't Drink Before Budget Meeting
By editor
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep with a call for a reform at the United Nations.
Joseph M. Torsella represents the United States on the U.N. budget committee. He says it's a tough budget process, complicated by diplomats who show up drunk. Ambassador Torsella made, quote, "the modest proposal that the negotiating room should be inebriation-free." He says he wants this, even though sloshed negotiators have provided the U.S. with, quote, "strategic opportunities." It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Fly-Fishing Camp for Women at Amangani, Jackson Hole, Wyoming
The creme de la creme of ski resorts is also a heavenly escape during the autumn months, surrounded by the majestic wilderness of the Grand Teton mountains. This is fly fishing country, and Amangani has designed a women's only camp for guests to learn the essential techniques of the sport. From October 8-12, 2006, both beginners and experienced anglers will learn how to "read" the water and think like a fish. Classes are small to ensure close interaction with the instructor, and balance instruction and theory with practice in hunting for rising fish in the region's streams, and on one full-day guided fly-fishing float trip on the Snake River. Three days of instruction include rod fees, written materials, breakfast, lunch, and the use of professional equipment. The four-night offer costs $2,995 for single/double occupancy (one participant), and $3,780 double occupancy (two participants).
After a day on the river, return to the unrivaled luxury at Amangani. Soak in the gorgeous outdoor pool, billowing steam on the cool evenings, and gaze at the awesome surrounding peaks of the Grand Teton mountains. Or relax in the spa, ranked as one of the country's best by readers of Conde Nast Traveler. Amangani's setting—perched on a butte overlooking the mountains-- is extraordinary.
Fine Dining in Boston: Clio at the Eliot Suite Hotel
Ken Oringer is the superstar chef who is not afraid to take risks in the kitchen at the James Beard award-winning Clio Restaurant. He is established in Boston as a force to be reckoned with. To quote Zagat: "With "a genius" and "madman" like Ken Oringer in the kitchen, this Back Bay "showstopper" "continues to reign supreme", converting most critics of "la-di-da dining" via "wonderfully strange" New French "masterpieces" showcased against an "understated" backdrop." (How's that for a review?) The innovative Asian-influenced French cuisine features dishes like the runchy sauteed halibut with citrus-ginger broth, served with the signature tomato-water martini. The sashimi bar, Uni, is located in the restaurant's lounge, and foodies claim it serves the freshest fish in Boston. Clio is housed in the Eliot Suite Hotel, voted "best boutique hotel" by Boston Magazine and "one of the world's best places to stay" by Conde Nast Traveler and Travel and Leisure. Located in fashionable Back Bay, steps away from the boutiques and restaurants of Newbury Street, the luxurious hotel is the essence of hospitality and refinement.

Bislett Stadium in Oslo is a magical place to run – the crowd are so close to the action, and even racing at 10pm it's still daylight. There is also so much history associated with the Dream Mile, which has played a part in some of the greatest rivalries in the sport.
The Armory in New York is special too – not only is it one of the fastest indoor tracks in the world, but at the New Balance Games there are 6,000 high schoolers watching as we interrupt their meet to compete, making the atmosphere incredible. This is such a direct way for professional athletes to inspire the next generation, and feels like the embodiment of the Olympic legacy.

Uterine fibroids (leiomyomata) are one of the most common conditions affecting women in the reproductive years; symptoms include menorrhagia, pelvic pressure, or pain. There are several approaches that are currently available to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids: hysterectomy; abdominal myomectomy; laparoscopic and hysteroscopic myomectomy; hormone therapy; uterine artery embolization; and watchful waiting. Hysterectomy and various myomectomy procedures are considered the gold standard treatment.
Recently, there has been interest in using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment that is guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; MRgFUS) as a totally noninvasive approach to the ablation of uterine fibroids. The ultrasound beam penetrates through the soft tissues and, using MRI for guidance and monitoring, the beam can be focused on targeted sites. The ultrasound causes a local increase in temperature in the target tissue, resulting in coagulation necrosis while sparing the surrounding normal structures. The ultrasound waves from each sonication can be focused into a maximum tissue volume of 4.3 cm3, causing a rapid rise in temperature sufficient to achieve tissue ablation at the focal point. In addition to providing guidance, the associated MRI can provide on-line thermometric imaging that provides a temperature "map" that can further confirm the therapeutic effect of the ablation treatment and allow for real-time adjustment of the treatment parameters.
The ultrasound equipment is specially designed to be compatible with MR magnets and is integrated into standard clinical MRI units. The ExAblate® System (InSightec, Inc., Dallas, TX) consists of a focused piezoelectric phased-array transducer, a computer-controlled positioning system, and a multichannel radiofrequency amplifier system. The array is located within a specially designed table in a water bath; imaging is performed with a custom receive-only pelvic coil. The ExAblate® System has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for treatment of uterine fibroids. MRI-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation of other tumors, including breast, prostate, and brain tumors and for the treatment of tumors metastatic to bone for the palliation of pain is also being studied. However, the device approved by the FDA for MRI-guided ultrasound ablation is only for uterine fibroids.
Regulatory Status
In October 2004, the FDA approved the ExAblate® 2000 System (via the premarket application [PMA] process) for "ablation of uterine fibroid tissue in pre- or perimenopausal women with symptomatic uterine fibroids who desire a uterine sparing procedure." Treatment is indicated for women with a uterine gestational size of less than 24 weeks who have completed childbearing. In December 2009, the ExAblate® 2100 System received premarket approval. It includes several modifications to the previous system including enhanced sonication and a detachable cradle. Approval remains limited to treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids and is also indicated in women with a uterine size of less than 24 weeks and those who have completed child bearing.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana (BCBSMT) considers magnetic resonance imaging-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) ablation of tumors experimental, investigational and unproven, including but not limited to:
In June 2005, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) published a Technology Evaluation Center (TEC) Assessment on magnetic resonance imaging-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) therapy for symptomatic uterine leiomyomata; this assessment found insufficient evidence of efficacy compared to the conventional therapies. (1) The following is a summary of the literature through June 2012.
Uterine Fibroids
No randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been published using MRgFUS. There is one published non-randomized study comparing MRgFUS to another treatment for uterine fibroids; this is the "pivotal" study designed for FDA approval of the ExAblate® 2000 device. (2,3) The study included 109 women treated with MRgFUS and 83 women treated with abdominal hysterectomy. The primary outcome was change in the symptom severity score (SSS) that is part of the validated Uterine Fibroid Symptom Quality of Life. Symptom severity is measured by 8 questions relevant to bulk and bleeding symptoms; it is a 0–100 scale, with the higher number representing greater severity of symptoms. Outcome data were initially reported for the MRgFUS group only. At 6 months' follow-up, 71% of the MRgFUS group achieved a 10-point or greater reduction in SSS, but this decreased to 51% at 12 months. It is unclear what represents a clinically meaningful change in SSS, the primary outcome measure. A threshold of greater than 10 points was selected for the analysis, but this is somewhat arbitrary and not substantiated by other research. Twenty-one percent of those treated by MRgFUS needed additional surgical treatment, and 4% underwent a repeat MRgFUS by 12 months.
In 2009, Taran and colleagues reported outcomes for the hysterectomy group. (4) The Taran article did not include the original primary outcome measure, SSS scores, and instead reported findings on a different quality of life measure, the SF-36; also reported were safety data. A significantly higher proportion of women in the hysterectomy group (82 of 83, 99%) reported at least one adverse event compared to women in the MRgFUS group (88 of 109, 81%). Pain or discomfort, adverse events associated with the gastrointestinal tract, dermatological system, nervous system, and cardiovascular system were significantly more common in the hysterectomy group. However, a similar proportion reported a serious adverse event, 9 of 109 (8%) in the MRgFUS group and 8 of 83 (10%) in the hysterectomy group. At 6 months, there were significantly higher scores in the hysterectomy group on 2 of 8 subscales on the SF-36; scores on the remaining subscales did not differ significantly between groups. The SF-36 scores were subject to a multiple comparison bias; a large number of statistical comparisons were done for secondary outcomes and p-values were not adjusted. Moreover, it was not clear why the original primary outcome, the SSS, was not reported.
Another non-randomized comparative study compared two variations on the MRgFUS procedure. (5) Patients were either treated with the original protocol (33% of fibroid volume with a maximum treatment time of 120 min, n=96) or modified protocol (50% treatment volume, 180 min maximum treatment time, and a second treatment if within a 14-day period, n=64). In the original group, the nonperfused (effectively treated) area was calculated at 17% of fibroid volume compared with 26% of fibroid volume with the modified protocol. Overall, symptom severity was reported to have decreased from a score of 62 at baseline to 33 at 12 months, with fewer patients in the modified group choosing alternative treatment (28% vs. 37%, respectively). Interpretation of these results was limited by 49% loss to follow-up; 55 patients (57%) from the original treatment protocol completed follow-up. Only 21 patients (33%) from the modified protocol group were evaluable at 12-month follow-up.
A 2007 publication reported 24-month follow-up from three Phase 3 trials and 1 postmarketing study (total of 416 patients). (6) The study found a relationship between the nonperfused volume ratio and the probability of undergoing additional leiomyoma treatment. For nonperfused volume ratios of 20% to 50%, there was a 25% probability of additional treatment. Patients with a nonperfused volume ratio of less than 20% of fibroid volume had a 40% probability of additional treatment. No shrinkage (and a trend toward growth) was seen with nonperfused volume ratios of 10% or less. Most women were found to have had limited treatments, with 57% of the patients having a nonperfused volume of 20% or less and 34% of the patients having a nonperfused volume between 30% and 70%. Fewer than 3% of women had a nonperfused volume ratio of 70% or greater. These results raise questions about the amount of nonperfusion achieved with current treatment protocols.
Several case series have reported on the efficacy and safety of MRgFUS for treating uterine fibroids. For example, a 2011 case series included 40 women who were treated with MRgFUS for symptomatic uterine fibroids at one center in the U.S. (7) The primary study endpoints were change from baseline in quality of life (QOL) and symptom severity. (Higher scores on the quality of life measure and lower scores on the symptom severity measure indicated improvement). Twenty-nine of the 40 (73%) patients completed the three-year follow-up. The mean symptom severity score was 64.8 at baseline and 17.0 at 3 years; this represents a mean reduction of 47.8 points. The mean baseline QOL score was 44.1 and the mean QOL at the 3-year follow-up was 83.9, a mean increase of 39.8 points. The improvement from baseline to 3 years was statistically significant for both outcome variables; however, there is no control group with which to compare results. Another 2011 single-center case series reported 12-month outcome data on 130 women treated with MRgFUS. (8) Eight women had additional procedures to relieve symptoms within one-year of MRgFUS treatment; 7 underwent hysterectomy and 1 underwent endometrial ablation. Data on symptom relief at 12 months were available for 70 of 130 (54%) of patients. Fifty-one of the 70 (73%) reported excellent symptom relief. Conclusions about efficacy of MRgFUS cannot be drawn due to the lack of a comparison group and the large amount of missing data.
A prospective registry of pregnancies after MRgFUS had been maintained by the manufacturer of the ExAblate device. A 2010 article reported that there were 54 known pregnancies a mean of 8 months after treatment. (9) They included 8 pregnancies from clinical trials designed for women who did not desire pregnancy, 26 pregnancies after commercial treatment, and 20 pregnancies in 17 patients from an ongoing study of MRgFUS in women trying to conceive. Twenty-two of the 54 pregnancies (42%) resulted in deliveries, 11 were ongoing beyond 20 weeks at the time the article was written. There were 14 miscarriages (26%) and 7 elective terminations (13%). Among the 22 live births, the mean birth weight of live births was 3.3 kg, and the vaginal delivery rate was 64%. The article provides initial information on the impact of MRgFUS for uterine fibroids on pregnancy; findings suggest that fertility may be maintained but that the number of cases is too small to draw definitive conclusions. Moreover, the study does not address the possible impact of MRgFUS treatment on the ability to become pregnant.
Other Tumors
A 2011 review article on MRgFUS as an oncologic treatment stated, "Although the potential applications of MRgFUS in oncology are very promising, further studies of feasibility and tolerability are needed for different anatomical districts. Phase III studies are needed as soon as possible in order to make direct comparisons of MRgFUS with surgery and radiotherapy." (10)
Breast Tumors
No controlled studies evaluating MRgFUS for treating breast cancer have been published. The published literature is limited to small case series (i.e., including fewer than 20 patients each). (11-14)
Brain Cancer
One article reported on initial findings in 3 patients. (15) The authors report that it was possible to focus an ultrasound beam into the brain transcranially, and they believe that thermal ablation without overheating the brain is possible; however, substantial technical barriers to using MRgFUS for treating brain tumors remain.
Palliative Treatment of Bone Metastases
No controlled studies evaluating MRgFUS for palliative treatment of bone metastases have been published. One RCT comparing MRgFUS to sham treatment is underway (see section on ongoing clinical trials, below). Several manufacturer-sponsored case series have been published. In 2009, Liberman and colleagues published findings of a multicenter prospective study conducted in Canada, Israel, and Germany. (16) The study included 31 patients who had painful bone metastases who had failed or refused other treatment options; 25 patients (81%) were available for 3-month follow-up. (18) The mean VAS score decreased from 5.9 before treatment to 1.8 three months after treatment. Thirteen of 25 patients who used non-opioid analgesics and 6 of 10 who used opioids decreased medication use after treatment. Neither series reported any treatment-related adverse effects.
Ongoing clinical trials
The FIRSST: Comparing MRgFUS (MR guided Focused Ultrasound) versus UAE (Uterine Artery Embolization) (NCT00995878) (17): This is a randomized controlled trial comparing MRgFUS to UAE in pre-menopausal women at least 25 years of age who have symptomatic uterine fibroids. The study is sponsored by the Mayo Clinic.
ExAblate (Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery) Treatment of Metastatic Bone Tumors for the Palliation of Pain (NCT00656305) (18): This randomized controlled trial is comparing Exablate treatment to sham treatment. It includes patients with symptomatic bone metastases or multiple myeloma bone lesions who are not candidates for radiation therapy. December 2011 was listed as the final data collection date for the primary outcome measure.
Practice Guidelines and Position Statements
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ): A 2007 technology assessment on the management of uterine fibroids concluded that the strength of the evidence about MRgFUS is weak. (19)
A search of the National Guideline Clearinghouse database did not identify any practice guidelines that included recommendations on MRgFUS for treating uterine fibroids or other conditions.
MRIgFUS treatment is FDA-approved only for the treatment of uterine fibroids. To date, there are no randomized controlled trials and only one non-randomized study comparing MRgFUS to a different treatment. Limitations of the published comparative study include lack of randomization, data on the comparison group were not published until 5 years after data on the treatment group, the clinical significance of the primary outcome was unclear, and there were no follow-up data beyond 1 year. There is insufficient evidence on the long-term treatment effects, recurrence rates, and impact on future fertility and pregnancy. Thus, MRgFUS is considered experimental, investigational and unproven for treatment of uterine fibroids.
MRgFUS is being investigated for use in several applications that are not currently approved by the FDA. There are some small published case series but no comparative studies have been published. One RCT comparing MRgFUS to sham treatment as palliative therapy in patients with symptomatic bone metastases is underway. Due to a lack of regulatory approval and insufficient evidence of the impact on health outcomes, MRgFUS is considered experimental, investigational and unproven for treatment of other benign and malignant tumors.

He was there at the beginning when "American Idol" burst onto the popular culture scene and crowned Kelly Clarkson as the Season 1 Champion, and now Simon Cowell has responded to news that FOX has cancelled the show.
The snarky Englishman took to his Twitter account to share his take on the upcoming 15th and final season of the singing competition- "Looking back at my time on 'American Idol' we had a great time. We found great artists. Had fun. And to America. Thank you. It was a blast."
Year in and year out, FOX has brought us the best up-and-coming singers thanks to "American Idol," however that 13-year run is about to come to a close.
Usually she's happy to stay on the judge's side of the table, but last night (March 19) Jennifer Lopez decided to own the "American Idol" stage as well.
The "Waiting for Tonight" songstress performed "Feel The Light" from the forthcoming soundtrack for the movie "Home," which also stars Rihanna.
Stepping out for a star-studded shindig, a host of television celebrities showed up at the FOX Winter TCA All-Star Party in Pasadena, California on Saturday (January 17).
"Mad Men" babe January Jones was in the house to plug her brand new series "Last Man On Earth," and she looked adorable in her designer duds.
He's been helping pop star hopefuls achieve their dreams for over a decade, and now Randy Jackson is ready to give up his seat at "American Idol."
In a new statement, the music industry mogul told People, "After 13 seasons, I felt now was the perfect time to leave American Idol. I'm proud to have been a part of a series that discovered some incredible artists and will go down in history as one of the most successful television shows ever. A true original, Idol started it all. Onto what's next."
It's a sad time for the "American Idol" family as former contestant Joanne Borgella succumbed to cancer over the weekend.
The 32-year-old singer's family posted a message on her Facebook page to inform fans of the tragic news.
Ready to give a round of singers another chance at the title, Fox announced on Monday (June 23) that Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr are all set to return for the 14th season of "American Idol."
It was a hard-fought win but in the end Caleb Johnson emerged victorious during the Season 13 finale of "American Idol" last night (May 21).
The Asheville, North Carolina native topped Jena Irene to win a recording contract and a debut album slated to hit stores on August 12th.

From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
The GOP race for president has flipped in Wisconsin since last month, with Mitt Romney overtaking Rick Santorum in the latest poll by Marquette Law School.
Romney leads Santorum 39% to 31% in a survey of GOP primary voters taken last Thursday through Sunday.
Ron Paul is running third in the poll with 11%, followed by Newt Gingrich with 5%.
The new numbers represent a major shift from Marquette's February poll, which showed Santorum leading Romney in the state 34% to 18%, followed by Paul at 17% and Gingrich at 12%.
They are also roughly consistent with a poll done almost one week ago on March 21 by Rasmussen Reports, which showed Romney leading Santorum 46% to 33%.
When Marquette polled all voters, not just GOP primary voters, it found President Barack Obama leading Romney 48% to 43% in a fall match-up, and leading Santorum 51% to 39%.

In this article, I will discuss self-executing functions of javascript and their hidden power with real-world example. We will also see why using setInterval is bad in some situations.
Let's explore little knows or little used but extremely powerful self-executing functions of javascript.
What is Self-Executing Anonymous Function?
A self-executing anonymous also knows as self-invoking anonymous function runs automatically/immediately when you create it and has no name. Here is the format of typical self-executing anonymous function:
// some code…
You must be aware of the fact that javascript functions run immediately when you put () after their names eg:
doStuff(); // this will run immediately
doStuff; // this will not run immediately and can be used as callback
Now because () exist at the end of self-executing anonymous function above, it will run immediately.
Note that you can also write self-executing anonymous function like this:
// some code…
Using extra braces like before function keyword is simply coding convention and is used even by famous javascript libraries such as jQuery.
Interestingly, if you look at the source code of jQuery, you will see that everything is wrapped in between:
(function( window, undefined ) {
// jQuery code
That is as can be seen also a self-executing anonymous function with arguments. A window (and undefined) argument is created and is mapped with global window object at the bottom (window).
What is Self-Executing Function?
Self-Executing function is a named function that runs immediately. Example:
function foo(){
// some code…
Note that now that we have named our function foo, it is not an anonymous function though it still is self-executing function because of () at the end.
How do they run automatically?
This can be best explained through an example. Let's say in your webpage you have this javascript code:
function showUp(){
alert('Hello There');
When you visit the page, the showUp function will not get triggered unless you do so by calling the function:
function showUp(){
alert('Hello There');
// run the function
However, you can make the function auto-run by making it self-executing function like this:
(function showUp(){
alert('Hello There');
Where to use self-executing functions?
One obvious situation is when you want to auto-run a function like I showed in above example but that is trivial. If you are in a situation where you want to run a piece of code repeatedly like updating something in the database based on user interaction or fetching records from database every 10 seconds or you want to load new stories via ajax similar to how facebook does on its homepage or some other similar situation, one would normally go for setInterval function something like this:
setInterval(doStuff, 10000);
Above, doStuff function will get called every 10 seconds. That is the normal approach most developers seem to go with. However, there is a huge problem with that. The setInterval will call doStuff function exactly at specified time of 10 seconds again and again irrespective of whether doStuff function actually finished doing what it is supposed to do. That is bad and will certainly get you into unexpected results.
That is one example of where setInterval is ^bad^ and should be avoided.
This is exactly where self-executing functions come in handy. We can do the same task with the help of self-executing function along with setTimeout like this:
(function foo(){
setTimeout(foo, 10000);
This code will also repeat itself again and again with one difference. setTimeout will never get triggered unless doStuff is finished. A much better approach than using bad setInterval.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - Doinghardtimeagain rallied to win the $196,000 Soviet Problem Stakes by 21/4 lengths on Sunday at Betfair Hollywood Park, giving Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer and jockey Martin Garcia their second stakes win in as many days.
Doinghardtimeagain ran seven furlongs in 1:23.93 and paid $15.80, $6.20 and $5 as the 6-1 third choice in the betting.
"There were a few speed horses and I wanted to lay on the outside where she could be really comfortable," Garcia said. "I just let her pick it up on her own. The only thing I didn't want to do was move too soon. When I asked her, she just left everybody."
Unusual Way returned $4 and $3 while 69-1 shot Awe Golly Molly was another 41/4 lengths back in third and paid $12.60 to show. Home Journey, the 7-10 favorite, finished last in the field of eight.
Doinghardtimeagain has career earnings of $198,500.

Former Teen Mom star Amber Portwood has turned her troubled life around and now wants to help mentor other teens to do the same — but Canadian pop star Justin Bieber might be a lost cause!
Having had kicked her addictions and wild behavior while serving 17 months in an Indiana prison, Portwood taped a segment on The Maury Show in which she tried to talk some sense into teenage girls taking a toxic path in life, and only RadarOnline.com has the exclusive sneak peek.
"We got young people in Hollywood who are acting a lot like these kids. What do you think of Justin Bieber?" Maury Povich asked Portwood, 24.
PHOTOS: The 10 Most Scandalous Teen Moms!
"He wants attention. The thing about…I remember being a teenager. I wanted attention, I wasn't getting it, so I did crazy stuff. Exactly what you guys are doing," the mother of one admitted.
"And that's what it is. It's about publicity and it's about money. That's all it is."
PHOTOS: They Make How Much?! The 23 Highest-Paid Reality TV Stars
The show airs Thursday, May 1 and you can watch a clip below:
"Amber was a fantastic mentor for the teen guests that appeared on the show," an insider told Radar.
As Radar previously reported, Portwood exclusively told Radar while still locked up — a consequence of a 5-year sentence for failing to complete a drug rehab program, which was required from earlier arrests for drug possession and parole violations — that she was "working my a** off to get out" and even got her GED.
PHOTOS: The 10 Most Scandalous Teen Moms!
Since being released from prison, Portwood has remained relatively private, except for a Twitter fight with Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans.
It all started after Portwood gave an interview where she said Evans belonged behind bars and that getting pregnant for a second time was irresponsible.
Do you think Bieber's behavior is all for attention and money? Sound off in the comments below…

tartan VS E35
A 75 ericson 35 and a 76 tartan 34. Both with atomic 4's. If you had your choice of the two which one would you buy. They are both sloops. The Tartan has a swing board. Sailing with upgrades after purchase of course,
East coast and
Possible Caribean sailing.
Re: tartan VS E35
Ericson, I think they're just a better build quality.
Re: tartan VS E35
Eric of course
Re: tartan VS E35
Assuming that this is your Ericson choice: ERICSON 35-2 sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com
(there are 2 very different Ericson 35's)
and this is your Tartan 34 choice: TARTAN 34 C sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com
I would choose the T 34 C for both it's build quality and the center board allowing you a shoal draft boat. Ericson's also have a good reputation but the T34 C was designed by Sparkman & Stephens, famous for their good designs.
Add Content
Re: tartan VS E35
All depends on condition, hours on the engine, equipment and price. Everything being equal, I'd chose the Tartan. How old is the rigging, sails, electronics?
Re: tartan VS E35
That is the 35-2. I vote for the Ericson. It will sail circles around the Tartan.
Re: tartan VS E35
Seems like it really boils down to what hits your heart strings, and condition. The center board would give some really nice options in the keys/Caribbean. There is an even foot of difference in draft. S&S design verses a King design, still to me it would boil down to condition an quality of maintenance.

Small businesses are the No. 1 target for cybercriminals. Here are 6 of the most dangerous cyberattacks hitting small firms.
In this attack, hackers exploit a security flaw in a popular file used by Wordpress and other website-building platforms to crop and resize images ("Timthumb.php," thus the name).
Hackers use the security hole to install malicious code or files into a website or server. From there, they can launch spear phishing campaigns and denial-of-service attacks -- where hackers overwhelm a website's server by flooding it with requests, making the site unresponsive.
Timthumb attacks have hit millions of websites over the last two years, most of which have been small businesses, said StopTheHacker's Banerjee.
"Business owners often don't even know that their sites have been infected because it works silently," he said, adding that the security flaw can be fixed with a patch.
By then, the damage has been done. Moreover, an infected website that's launching DoS attacks also runs the risk of being blacklisted by Google.
