The Shortlist
The Shortlist for Jan. 17
Brandi Glanville apologizes for joking that a molester 'passed [her] over' for her sister when they were kids
Um. At least she apologized? In a recent edition of her "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" podcast, the Real Housewife of Foot-in-Mouth County made what she believed to be a joke about the time her sister was molested by their school principal. Speaking to comic Jim Florentine, she said (via E!), "I was actually stalking you online, Jim, and we have something in common! I, too, wanted to be molested as a child and was passed up. My sister got felt up by a principal, and nothing for me. He didn't even look at me sideways."
(Go ahead and pick your jaw up off the keyboard, we'll wait.)
"Did you feel hurt by that?" asked Florentine.
"Yeah. Now looking back, I'm super-bummed," Glanville snapped back. "I was thinking, 'All this and nothing?' Super-hot and they passed me up!"
Not surprisingly, the online criticism came swiftly. Glanville later apologized -- sort of. "I'm sorry if I offended anyone with @Mrjimflorentine @PodcastOne interview My show is a COMEDY based entertainment show for adults I'm sorry," she tweeted, adding later that she'd "kill anyone if they touched my kids."
The 41-year-old reality star also told one follower that she is "still learning how to interview & learning what I can & cant say."

In 2012, the transit agency's Taxis and Accessible Services Division implemented a reward program providing payments to a small number of drivers who picked up a majority of wheelchair passengers. The reward program, along with a penalty for ramp-taxi medallion holders who did not pick up disabled passengers, boosted wheelchair service by 20% last year. For the full story, click here.
At various times, the county paid too much when prices should have decreased, missed deadlines to seek damages from its contractor for alleged substandard performance and failed to accurately calculate the most basic of contract functions — cost of living adjustments.
The new contract, which begins July 1, enables city of Independence riders with disabilities who depend on paratransit services would only need to make one phone call to get transportation.
The driver was spotted driving poorly, before slamming his brakes, causing a 90-year-old passenger to fall to the floor. According to the arrest report, the driver's blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hostal Girona Barcelona
OK for the price
Set a little off the beaten track, we had a room with a balcony facing the enclosed back of the hostal. Apart from the usual thin walls common to most Spanish hostals we've stayed in, this made for a reasonably quiet night. The room was clean and the air-con worked well. One rather large cockroach spotted scuttling from the bathroom, other than that a good base for exploring the city.
Good place
My sister and I stayed in this place on december 20 2004. As we arrived from Girona to the Saint Joan Point by ryanair buses we didnt have any problem to find the place just walking 5 minutes. The place is calm and quiet inside and outside. You can walk to the hostal entered night without any problem and you have a subway station within 3 blocks. The rooms are huge, you have a lot of space (more than in other hostal you have visited). When you dont have a bathroom into the room, that is not a problem because the shared bathrooms are really clean. the attention is good too. The price is not as cheaper as other hostal but believe me this is more than a hostal. The beds and towls are clean too so you can sleep really good and be ready the next day to visit the exciting Barcelona city.
Good and bad memories...
I stayed 4 nights at this little hostal in July 2004. As some have posted, there are good and bad points about this hostal. On the plus side, the location is fantastic...I was alone and felt safe walking back at night from the metro or Plaza Cataluyna (both just a few minutes away). It was very clean and tidy, including the shared bathroom/shower facilities. I had a single with balcony which, although tiny, felt a little less stifling.
The only major downside was the noise - walls are super-thin (which some guests didn't notice or seem to care about, particularly very late at night). However, for the price its a good, basic choice.
Had a great stay
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay in this beautiful building. It is ideally situated in a quiet street very near the Plaza Catalunya. The room was very bright and comfortable with air conditioning and a balcony. The staff were all very nice and some went out of their way to help us with directions, calling taxi's etc. There is a very easy-going atmosphere in the hotel and for the price range it offers excellent value.
I will definitely stay there again when I next return to Barcelona and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for budget accomodation in there.
Stephen Flitton
Balcony rooms are best!
For budget accomodation in an expensive city this was excellent value. Spent out first night in an airless interior room, but we'd booked balcony rooms so after a small complaint we were moved into an airy room on the back of the building with a huge balcony. Our advice pay the 6 euros extra and get one of the much better balcony rooms. The Girona is a fabulous old building, the staff/owners are helpful in the brusque Catalan fashion and the rooms are basic. That said, we'd go back as the VFM factor is excellent.
You get what you pay for...
Well, I suppose I'll separate this review into postives and negatives.
Beautiful Caged Elevator
Great terrazzo floors in rooms
Spotlessly clean rooms/bathrooms
Quiet street, near everything
We booked a double room (for a couple) and got 2 single beds.
We booked an exterior room with balcony and got just an exterior room
Beds were rather hard (think plain spring mattress on a frame)
and through no fault of the hotel, spent the majority of our stay next to some really loud Australian school kids that kept us up at night. (slam, slam, giggle)
All in all I would recommend this as a good value for two friends travelling to save money. Not so romantic for a couple. As well, the staff, although friendly, seem very disorganized for a place with a website. Make sure you are very clear about what room you wish upon arrival, and make sure you get an exterior room. I can see where the other vistor had issues with the room being stuffy. We ALWAYS had to open the window and air out the room when returning. Also, the en-suite showers/toilets aren't necessary, the ones down the hall are nicer.
we stayed at the hostal girona from 19 to 23 jan 2004 and it was very pleasant. Not sure how it would be in the heat of summer though!
Excellent location 5 mins walk from the ryanair bus stop and also from placa catalunya. Our room had an o.k. shower, balcony and beautiful tiled floor. It was an interesting building with spectacular entrance hall. Very reasonably priced, would certainly recommend it for anyone on a budget trip to Barcelona.
Highly recommended (except for the shower!)
Two previous posters have voiced differing opinions & I can see where they were both coming from.
We stayed there from 12 to 14 January 2004 & loved it. The public areas are beautifully decorated in the modernisme style & although our room was fairly plain it was also spacious & very light & airy. We had an exterior room with a balcony & really felt part of the Barcelona experience. Having said that, the inside rooms do overlook an interior courtyard & although I didn't see inside them I can imagine they would be rather gloomy. Also, although our room had a shower it was a pretty sorry affair. There was a beautifully tiled shared bathroom with shower just outside in the hall, however, so there was no real problem.
The Hostal is in an excellent location & all in all I wouldn't hesitate to go back there.
What's the definition of oasis?
We must have a different interpretation of "oasis" - we expected a quiet place to refresh in a hot city after reading your review. What we found was a dark, dismal, airless hostal - our room did not even open out into fresh air - the courtyard it overlooked had a roof on. The "en suite" was a loo in a cupboard without a ceiling partition from the room and the shower room had no door to the room - good job we know each other well! The staff were not particularly friendly and were not available when we wanted to check out - luckily we had arranged to leave our bags to collect later so we could pay then. However, it was very centrally located and the price was right. It was clean and OK for one night but certainly not an oasis.
A Quiet Convenient Corner
Hostal Girona was an Oasis of tranquility, all the more surprising since it is located just a few yards from the Ramblas and the central Plaza Catalunya. The staff are friendly, efficient and very helpful with advice about Barcelona and beyond. There was always someone in the lobby nomatter what time I returned. The room was basic but clean and tidy. It's the best place I have stayed in Barcelona for that sort of money.

St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Elliot Johnson capped a three-hit performance and an eight-run sixth inning with a three-run homer and the Kansas City Royals ran away with a 10-1 victory in the opener of a four-game set with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Alex Gordon, Salvador Perez and Miguel Tejada each added an RBI apiece to the rally, while David Lough collected a pair of hits and knocked in two runs to lift the Royals to their eighth victory in nine games.
Jeremy Hellickson (4-3) was charged with all eight runs during Kansas City's offensive attack and dropped his first decision in nine starts. He allowed 10 hits -- eight of which came in the sixth -- and struck out four.
"Eight runs is eight runs, it's unacceptable," Hellickson said.
The Rays had hardly any luck against Ervin Santana (5-5), who dominated over 7 2/3 innings of work. He scattered just five hits and was tagged with an unearned run in the triumph.
"Everything is going our way right now," Santana said. "We have to keep it up and continue to play hard."
There were a combined three hits through the first five innings, but the Royals broke through with three in a row to open the flood gates to the eight- run sixth.
With runners on second and third, Gordon ripped a base hit into center to crack the scoreless tie and Kansas City quickly doubled its edge when Alcides Escobar scored from third on a wild pitch from Hellickson.
That was the beginning of the end for the Rays starter, who then gave up two more run-scoring singles to Perez and Lough before a double from Tejada into left created a five-run cushion for Kansas City.
Johnson, who started the frame with a base hit, put an exclamation point on the outburst by sending Hellickson's final pitch of the evening into the right field seats for a commanding 8-0 Kansas City advantage.
The Rays made a small dent in the bottom of the fateful frame when Jose Molina scored following a wild pitch from Santana and a throwing error by Tejada, but that was all the offensive success they would have.
Eric Hosmer homered in the seventh and Lough knocked in a run after a leadoff double from Lorenzo Cain the following frame to account for the final margin.
The Rays have lost four of their last five games ... It was just Santana's
second road victory in six starts away from home this season ... Tampa Bay
went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position ... The Rays had only six hits,
with Matt Joyce and Luke Scott each accounting for two apiece.

Kentucky star and AP Player of the Year Anthony Davis appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last night, and almost right off the bat, the unibrow was the topic of discussion. And with Davis most likely on the cusp of becoming an NBA multimillionaire, you would think he'd finally hit up a waxing salon and take care of his Bert Special. Wrong. Davis told Kimmel the unibrow isn't going anywhere.
"It's me. It's my brand, I like the way it is. … That's my plan. Keep it forever. No need to cut it."
"Yeah, you don't need two eyebrows. One is perfectly fine," Kimmel quipped.
"I'm trying to start a new trend," Davis replied.
Davis previously said he enjoyed all the attention his forehead mustache got during the year, and now he's saying it's a part of who he is and here to stay. I say good for him for not giving into society's vain and shallow standards. When he gets to the league he should make it part of his logo. MJ has the jumpman, LeBron's is the crown, and Davis' could be a unibrow. And then he can embroider it into the seats of his future white-on-white Bentley. Somebody needs to take advantage of the untapped unibrow market.

Reserve Your Space on the Australian Stage
The Triple Crown of Linux conferences — if there is one — is surely the Linux Symposium, the Linux Kongress, and linux.conf.au. It was just a month ago that we passed on the message to LinuxJournal.com readers that the time to get their name on the Kongress program was nigh, and now it is time to do the same for the southernmost jewel in the crown.
Last year's linux.conf.au was a sight to behold. Linux Journal's Jes Hall was on the scene, reporting all the conference happenings to LinuxJournal.com readers, from preflight to highlights. The undisputed event to beat all events was a quite surprising turn of charitable events culminating with Developer-in-Chief Linus Torvalds shaving the beard off Bdale Garbee's face in exchange for a grand total of $32,500 — to save the iconic Tasmanian Devil from extinction. The cause continued even after the conference's close, with the 2.6.29 kernel cycle adopting Tuz, the conference's Devil-cum-Penguin mascot, to raise awareness of their plight.
Despite the .au moniker, this year's conference will be held in Wellington, New Zealand, the second time it has visited the kiwi isles. Conference organizers, on announcing the 2010 destination, said that the conference has grown to be more than an Australian Linux event, calling Wellington "an excellent location" to assemble in. Linux Australia President Stewart Smith at the time: "The Wellington team is dedicated, understands linux,conf.au and has a real passion to show us something really special in 2010."
At the heart of "something really special" are the presentations attendees will, well, attend. As with most Linux conferences, the selection of speakers follows an open call for papers, inviting those in the community to share their expertise. linux.conf.au organizers point out that the conference is not just about Linux, but about Open Source — a stroke of "double-departure," it seems, expanding the linux. and the .au to focus on the conf. Andrew Ruthven, director of the 2010 conference, commented: "We're proud of hosting LCA2010 in Wellington, New Zealand and look forward to seeing an exciting array of presentation and tutorial submissions, that not only educate our delegates but also challenge and motivate them."
Proposals, which must be submitted via the conference's online system, are encouraged to include the following (some, like a title and speaker information, are obligatory) [verbatim]:
- The title of your paper
- The type of paper: Presentation (45 minutes), or Tutorial (short - 1 hour and 45 minutes or long - 3 hours and 30 minutes)
- An abstract summarising your paper, up to 500 words
- Any special technical requirements
- The target audience: Business, Community, Developer or User
- The name of the project your paper relates to, including its URL
- A short video about your paper, the project it relates to and/or yourself
- Any additional files, including images, slides, etc
- Whether accommodation and/or travel assistance is required
- Information about you, including your name, phone number, homepage, biography and relevant experience
- Whether materials relating to your paper can be released under a Creative Commons ShareALike License
Additional guidelines, information about review and selection, and even a nice flowchart for deciding whether to propose can be found on the conference's paper information page. The call opened Monday (June 29) and will end on July 24 at the close of business, New Zealand time. (For those west of the Prime Meridian, that will likely be the middle of the night on July 23.) Inquiries are welcome at email@example.com.
More information about the conference, which runs from January 18, 2010 - January 22, 2010, is available from the conference website.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Regent Teaching Video Wins International Award
| November 8, 2007
An instructional video produced by a Regent University professor and Regent's Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) has been selected as a winner of the 2007 Silver Davey Award.
The Missing Persons Dilemma video case study was designed to enhance the classroom experience among Regent Law students studying legal ethics. The video, a collaborative effort between Regent Law Professor Charles Oates and the CTL is a dramatic reenactment based partially on an actual case. The video illustrates the conflict that two defense lawyers face when confronted with a difficult ethical issue. They must choose between protecting their client's confidence or acceding to the public's right to know the status of missing persons.
The Davey Awards honor the finest creative work from the best small firms, agencies and companies worldwide. The competition is judged and overseen by the International Academy of the Visual Arts, a 200+ member organization of leading professionals from various disciplines of the visual arts dedicated to embracing progress and the evolving nature of traditional and interactive media.
Watch the Missing Persons Dilemma video and view Professor Oates presentation at the Regent Showcase of Innovations in September 2007.

First TV product placement goes to Nestlé and ITV
By Ed Owen, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 28 February 2011 09:36AM
Nestlé coffee brand Dolce Gusto will make history today on ITV1's 'This Morning' when it becomes the first brand to be featured on a UK-produced television programme in a paid product placement deal.
The deal has been brokered by WPP media agency Mindshare and is valued at £100,000. It is not clear how long it will run for.
Media regulator Ofcom changed its rules in the 2011 Broadcasting Code to allow product placement. These changes come into effect today (28 February), although almost two-thirds of viewers remain unaware that product placement is now permitted, according to research.
Several other brands and shows are known to have signed deals or are close to signing deals.
An ITV spokesman said: "Our first paid-for placement of a product will be placed in ITV1's 'This Morning' on Monday 28 February. We are currently talking to clients about a number of product placement opportunities, spanning a range of programmes and channels.
"The editorial integrity of our programming remains ITV's priority and any introduction of product placement will strictly adhere to Ofcom rules."
The major soaps will be the key target for brands, and should be able to command high fees.
ITV and Channel 4 are known to be sensitive to the possibility of a public backlash to product placement, and ITV switched its focus for the first product placement deal from 'Emmerdale' to 'This Morning' last week.
Research from Vision Critical, published today, supports the broadcasters' fears.
In a survey of 2,000 viewers, they found:
- 61% of people were unaware that product placement will now be allowed.
- 54% were "comfortable" with product placement.
- 32% were "uncomfortable" with product placement.
- 38% thought TV quality would reduce.
- 31% thought TV quality would improve.
- Older viewers were less comfortable with product placement than younger viewers.
Mike Stevens, head of research at Vision Critical London, said: "There's a real lack of awareness that commercial TV will soon be carrying paid-for promotion of brands. It's to be expected that people will feel uncomfortable at first."
"What's maybe surprising, is that a third of people think this could actually improve programming quality by creating a new income stream for broadcasters – it suggests viewers appreciate the trade-offs involved in commercial TV."
Ofcom rules state that a campaign must be run before programmes can use product placement, but this campaign may be as little as a single ad before the first product placement transmission. A logo must also be shown to alert viewers to product placement.
Some channels were found to be better suited for product placement. 62% are "comfortable" with product placement being used on E4 and 64% are "comfortable" to see it on Sky Sports. Electronic Arts is exploring the chance to formally sponsor the clock on Sky Sports.
A second piece of research found appropriate placement could benefit programmes. SPA Future Thinking conducted 16 focus group surveys on behalf of Channel 4.
Jon Priest, chief executive at SPA Future Thinking, said: "Viewers aren't naive and they recognise that they've been exposed to product placement since the early 1990s in American shows and films.
"What's interesting is that they see product placement as a natural progression from traditional advertising. They feel it's already happening and are unfazed by it."
Peter Jones, partner at Madigan Cluff, and Deloitte's James Bates look at what placement could mean for brands, agencies and producers.
David Charlesworth, head of sponsorship at Channel 4, last week denied any product placement deals had yet been made at the broadcaster. He said: "The overall message from our viewers is that they actively welcome product placement while trusting us to make it work for both them and advertisers".

Winter Royalty weekend kicks off at LHS
February 2, 2006
It doesn't feel like winter outside; nonetheless, it's time for Winter Royalty at Lansing High School.
To kick off the events, Lansing's Band Boosters will serve a spaghetti dinner for donations from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 3, in the LHS commons.
One of the main events of Winter Royalty is choosing the court. Students voted for their class representatives last week, a boy and girl from each class, freshman through junior, and three senior candidates each for king and queen.
Coronation of the king and queen will be Friday at halftime of the boys basketball game in the LHS gym.
The Winter Royalty dance will be from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, at LHS. The theme is the 1980s.

These days, it seems everything from rooftops to cell phones come equipped with solar panels. Now, huge cargo ships are the latest entities to join the solar power fray. The M/V Auriga Leader, now docked at the Port of Long Beach in California, recently unveiled an impressive array of 328 solar panels that will power the ship's main electrical grid, making this the first ocean liner to be propelled in part by the sun's rays.

confusing news. but there is hope for running ship without Fossil Fuel.
good luck. -mamun2a, Dhaka, BD

"Propelled by solar" is a very misleading title.
It's all diesel pushing the ship forward, evidenced by the blue smoke plumes.
July 13, 2009 at 4:01 am
Sailors have been using traditional solar panels on boats for decades now, with more exposure to salt water than they'll ever get on top of a cargo ship. Keep in mind that well-tempered solar panels from the 1970's have withstood hail & hurricanes, and most work fine to this day (the supports go before the glass will!)
Everyone is right – this is not a craft that "runs on" solar – but there are many boats that do run %100 on solar, and the number is increasing as their efficiency, savings and dependability are realized (especially with dualgens and LEDs added to the package).
July 7, 2009 at 1:32 pm
I can imagine the harsh ocean environment would "eat" away standard PV panels pretty quickly. Its more of a step to show the first craft using direct solar power into the ship's main electrical grid.
I hope its OK to drop a trade name here as the company nanosolar with its head office in San Jose, CA currently print a clever solar cell foil creating immense energy which can be applied to various surfaces. With a ship incased in such a foil might be something we see in the next 10 years.
Imagine a craft that could supply energy back to the national grid while morred in port

Is the end of an era here for magnesium sulfate tocolysis?
It's time for us to limit or stop this ineffective—and potentially harmful—regimen
Preterm labor and preterm delivery are major obstetric challenges, with an increasing incidence. Approximately 12% of all births in the United States occur preterm, with significant adverse sequelae for the newborn.
Treatments that have been tested for preterm labor include hydration, magnesium sulfate, atosiban, antibiotics, nitroglycerine, indomethacin, nifedipine, and betamimetics1-6 (TABLE). Of these, Cochrane systematic reviews of the literature resulted in the conclusion that hydration, magnesium sulfate, and atosiban are not more effective than control treatments.1-3 Both nifedipine and betamimetics were reported to be effective, compared with controls, in achieving short-term goals such as preventing delivery before 48 hours after initiation of treatment.7,8
There are no wonder drugs
It is unfortunate that there are no "wonder drugs" to prevent or treat preterm labor. It is likely that, until treatments target the underlying initiating mechanisms of preterm labor, our focus on treating contractions will be only marginally successful. A major problem is that most clinical trials that examine tocolysis have significant flaws, which limits the strength of the findings. Clinicians are left in the unenviable position of choosing among medications that are only marginally effective, such as calcium-channel blockers and betamimetics. However, clinicians can strive to avoid using tocolytics that have no clearly proven efficacy—such as magnesium sulfate.
I confess that I have prescribed magnesium sulfate tocolysis to dozens of women. I also am committed to changing my practice pattern in regard to this agent.
Only 2 tocolytics pass muster in Cochrane reviews
2 trials, 228 subjects
Not superior to bed rest alone
No advantage over bed rest unless the woman is dehydrated
23 trials, 2,036 subjects
Not superior to control treatments
Magnesium is ineffective at delaying birth or preventing preterm birth, compared with control treatments; its use is associated with increased morbidity for the infant
11 trials, 1,695 subjects
Not superior to placebo
Caution against use
Antibiotics with intact membranes4
11 trials, 7,428 subjects
Reduced maternal infection, but no improvement in newborn outcomes; may increase complexity of neonatal infections
Not recommended for routine practice
Nitric oxide donors (nitroglycerine)5
5 trials, 466 subjects
Reduced risk of delivery before 37 weeks, but not 32 or 34 weeks; headache is a common side effect
Insufficient evidence to support use
Cyclooxygenase inhibitors (indomethacin)6
13 trials, 713 subjects
Reduction in delivery before 37 weeks compared with controls
Estimates are imprecise and should be interpreted with caution
Calcium-channel blockers7
12 trials, 1,029 subjects
Reduction in birth within 7 days of treatment and prior to 34 weeks' gestation; reduced likelihood of termination of therapy because of adverse effects compared with betamimetics
Calcium-channel blockers are preferable to other tocolytic agents; nifedipine* not evaluated against placebo; control groups typically received a betamimetic
17 trials, 1,320 subjects
Reduced risk of delivery within 48 hours; many adverse effects reported
Betamimetics delay delivery, allowing for completion of a course of glucocorticoids; multiple adverse effects occur
*Nifedipine is not approved by the FDA for treating preterm labor.
The long story of magnesium tocolysis
In the 1950s and 1960s, magnesium sulfate was not widely used as a tocolytic agent. In his single-author 1962 work, A Textbook of Obstetrics, Duncan E. Reid, MD, does not mention magnesium as a tocolytic agent.9 Magnesium is discussed in the book as an effective agent for seizure prophylaxis and treatment in women with preeclampsia/eclampsia. In the 1985 (17th) edition of Williams Obstetrics, the authors were not enthusiastic about the use of magnesium tocolysis and cited a small trial that concluded that magnesium tocolysis was not superior to placebo.10
- In the 1970s and 1980s, betamimetics were the most widely used tocolytic. One betamimetic, ritodrine, achieved FDA approval as a tocolytic agent, but is no longer manufactured.
- Obstetricians were familiar with magnesium because of its marked efficacy in preventing eclamptic seizures. In vitro studies demonstrated that magnesium inhibited myometrial contractility by competing with calcium at the plasma membrane channels and by interfering with calcium activation of myosin light-chain kinase. In addition, there was the theoretical supposition that magnesium might be neuroprotective for the newborn (later proved incorrect). Given obstetricians' familiarity with magnesium for preeclampsia, it is easy to see how we embraced this treatment for preterm labor.
Safety, efficacy are questionable
Data from trials never clearly demonstrated that magnesium has a clinically significant tocolytic effect compared with "control" treatments. In a Cochrane review of magnesium tocolysis, neither improvement in the risk of delivery before 48 hours nor reduction in risk of birth before 34 or 37 weeks was observed, compared with control treatments. More recent data also suggest that magnesium may increase the risk of adverse neonatal outcomes, including death, especially at the upper end of the magnesium dose range.2
In the absence of demonstrated clinical efficacy and a concern over potentially negative neonatal effects, obstetricians should consider strictly limiting their use of magnesium for tocolysis.11
If not magnesium, what?
Cochrane analyses indicate that data reliably support the superiority of two tocolytics over controls: calcium-channel blockers and betamimetics (TABLE). The calcium-channel blocker nifedipine has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of birth within 7 days of initiating treatment and of birth prior to 34 weeks' gestation, compared with betamimetics. Women in preterm labor who are receiving a calcium-channel blocker are less likely to require discontinuation of the treatment due to adverse effects compared with women treated with a betamimetic. Given the demonstrated clinical efficacy of calcium-channel blockers and their few adverse side effects, these agents should be more widely used as tocolytics.
Nifedipine. This calcium-channel blocker has the longest and widest use as a tocolytic. A typical regimen is to administer nifedipine, 10 mg orally, every 20 minutes up to 4 doses as needed to reduce contractions and avoid hypotension. Maintenance treatment is nifedipine, 20 mg orally, every 4 to 8 hours. The maximum daily dosage is in the range of 120 to 180 mg. Nifedipine inhibits voltage-dependent L-type calcium channels, which leads to vascular and other smooth-muscle relaxation and negative inotropic and chronotropic effects on the heart.
Not surprisingly, nifedipine has been reported to be associated with many adverse cardiovascular side effects, including acute pulmonary edema,12 arrhythmias,13 and hypotension. Caution is advised when using nifedipine in multiple-gestation pregnancy and maternal cardiac disease.14,15 Many authorities strongly caution against the use of nifedipine with magnesium or betamimetics because of additive adverse effects on the cardiovascular system.
If the goal of therapy is to complete a course of betamethasone, then nifedipine may be discontinued after 48 hours. Alternatively, the medication can be continued to achieve another endpoint, such as prolonging pregnancy up to 34 weeks when a condition such as polyhydramnios is present.
We need research
Preterm delivery is a major public health problem, and more research is required to identify the fundamental biologic causes of preterm labor. In the near future, basic science discoveries will be translated from the bench to the bedside, resulting in new treatments for the real causes of preterm labor that will be far superior to available tocolytics.

10 of the Most Interesting Women in Experimental Music
Laurel Halo's debut album Quarantine is out this week, and it's just as good as we were hoping it might be, full of strange and wonderful sounds, all topped by Halo's distinctive vocals. Experimental music has a long and proud history of female involvement, from the work of electronic pioneers like Daphne Oram and Delia Derbyshire through Cosey Fanni Tutti and Ikue Mori and Laurie Anderson to latter-day examples like Diamanda Galas and Gudrun Gut. To celebrate the release of Quarantine, and the fact that there seem to be more fascinating female experimentalists around than ever, we thought we'd put together a selection of contemporary talents whose work we love — some you're probably familiar with, some you might not be, all of them are great. And, of course, let us know your suggestions.

Definitely more of a hotel than a hostel, there are no relaxed communal areas, only a couple of courtyards with standard outdoor furniture. Wifi is only available in rooms near reception (5 or 6), or in the outdoor areas. Breakfast was fairly disappointing (bread, jam, tea or coffee). Staff are really nice though and the rooms were cozy.

Shailene Woodley Reveals She'd Love to Be in 'Dream' Musical Film Like ONCE
Hollywood 'it' girl Shailene Woodley appears on the latest cover of Women's Health magazine, which hits newsstands on June 24th. In the feature story, the 22-year-old actress shares that she'd love to portray Stevie Nicks and star in a musical film such as 'Once.'
Says the 'Fault in Our Stars' actress, "I would love to play Stevie Nicks. She's just such a fascinating woman who's lived such a life and is still living such a life. Her music was really profound for me in my life. Yeah I think it'd be an adventure to play Stevie Nicks. I love that there is no other Stevie Nicks in this world. She is so fully herself, and undividedly herself. That in itself is such a powerful lesson to take in and be like, 'wow.' No one is going to be the next Stevie Nicks and Stevie Nicks was next the next anyone. And I think that's such beautiful advice for all of us. You do you, we do we. She does she in such a beautiful way."
Woodley adds, "I think it'd be great to sing in a film. I love to sing. I guess another dream movie would be a movie like Once. It's so romantic and sensual and musical but doesn't feel like a musical necessarily."
Shailene portrayed Amy Juergens in the ABC Family series The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008-2013) and co-starred alongside George Clooney in the 2011 film The Descendants. She played Felicity Merriman in the 2005 film Felicity: An American Girl Adventure.
In 2014, Woodley starred in three films: as Kat Conner in White Bird in a Blizzard,Beatrice "Tris" Prior in the adaptation of Veronica Roth's novel Divergent, and as Hazel Grace Lancaster in The Fault in Our Stars, based on the novel of the same name by John Green.
For her performance in The Descendants, she won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress - Motion Picture. In the film The Spectacular Now, she won the Special Jury Award for Acting at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
