Manny could be out a while
Posted by Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff August 29, 2007 11:42 PM
NEW YORK - Manager Terry Francona updated Manny Ramirez' strained (left) oblique injury after the game and is now saying Ramirez could miss "multiple games" with the injury.
Francona didn't seem to think the team would reach down for anyone in the minors ahead of the rosters expanding on Sept. 1. Francona also said he sent Bobby Kielty back to the hotel with stiffness in his back. Kielty was sent for an MRI and that came back negative.
Francona said he would try to ride out the injuries through tomorrow, but don't be surprised if there's a change of thought.

Guadeloupe Travel Tips
Traveling to Guadeloupe Vacation Rentals
The main airport is located on the southwestern corner of Basse-Terre, two miles from Point á Pitre. The airport hosts a variety of European and North American airlines and has two international terminals. There are direct flights from Paris and New York City. If you are looking for alternative flight routing, you could look into traveling via San Juan on Puerto Rico. There are several ferries and private yacht charters that operate between Guadeloupe and neighboring islands in the Caribbean.
Best Time of Year to Visit Guadeloupe Villas
Guadeloupe is a group of French-governed islands located in the eastern part of the Caribbean. They are sometimes referred to as the butterfly islands because the two largest islands, when viewed together from the air, resemble the shape of a butterfly's wings. The islands have a typically tropical climate with little temperature variation between the seasons. The more differentiating factor is the humidity and rainfall. In the summer months, high levels of humidity and frequent rain showers make the temperatures feel hotter. Occasional tropical storms are also common, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. The cyclone season is also typically the low tourist season and this occurs mostly in August and September. From December through April, the air is drier and temperatures therefore feel more moderate. This is most commonly the peak tourist season.
Visitors to Guadeloupe Resort Rentals
Because Guadeloupe is a French foreign territory, the primary local language is French. This therefore attracts many French Canadians and European travelers. It is a vacation destination that has an almost sophisticated air about it, even though it is a tropical island destination. The main cities have high-class shopping malls and the streets resemble those of mainland France. However, when you travel to more remote parts of the island, you can discover a wealth of natural treasures. It is certainly a destination for sun lovers and people who enjoy sandy white beaches and swaying palm trees. Guadeloupe is known for its vibrant nightlife. Local festivals are usually all-night street parties. It is a trendy vacation destination that attracts movie stars and celebrities, especially to the elite island of St. Barthelemy.
Attractions and Activities near Caribbean Vacation Rentals in Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe has a wealth of natural attractions. Beautiful beaches are what the destination is known for but its natural attractions extend far beyond that. The rainforests are thick and home to many plant and animal species. The island of Basse-Terre has rugged volcanic terrain and is home to the Caribbean's tallest waterfall. The adjacent island of Grand-Terre has a gentler, more undulating landscape. Some of the smaller uninhabited islands are still relatively wild and untamed. The Guadeloupe National Park has more than 180 miles of marked trails that visitors can explore. For birdwatching enthusiasts, you can take an excursion to the mangrove swamps on Grand-Terre and see many different bird species here.
If you are more adventurous, you can take a hike to the top of La Soufriere. This active volcano last made rumblings in 1976. The hike is strenuous and takes approximately 90 minutes to reach the top. Guadeloupe is surrounded by amazing coral reefs and it is ranked as one of the top 10 dive sites in the world. Diving conditions are calm, and the coral and marine life are abundant. Eating out in Guadeloupe is an experience. The cuisine is a blend of island and European flavors that will delight the palate. There are many beach bars and nightclubs where you can enjoy some tasty local rum cocktails.

Memorable deaths on TV range from Balraj Singh Chaudhary (Raj Zutshi) being shot in the head on popular soap Madhubala recently to Ansh Virani's (Aakash Deep Saigal) dramatic death scene in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi a few years ago. Also, one cannot forget how Mihir's (Amar Upadhyay) death in the same show created such outrage that producer Ekta Kapoor had to bring him back from the dead.
The death of Rohit Khurana's character, Vansh, in Uttaran was impactful too. It was one of the highest points of the show. "It was my first death scene. I was nervous about having to die convincingly. Death scenes take a lot of energy as you have to pretend to be unable to breathe or choke. My mom and grandma cried a lot after watching my death scene."
However, Vineet Raina, whose character Prashant recently died in Zee's Punar Vivaah, does not shoot funeral scenes as a rule. "In Mayaka, my earlier show, I had a funeral scene when my character (Veer) died, and my mom and dad got really disturbed." Sometimes, the loss of a lovable character gets the same reaction as the loss of a real person. The audiences too get emotionally attached to them, which is why funeral scenes are used to evoke a response. Most shows kill or hint at the death of characters, but don't show a dead body. This ensures that they have the option of bringing them back.
Producer Rajan Shahi, who shot a death scene in Star Plus' Bidaai, feels such scenes are a necessity, for audiences and unit members alike. "We show marriages and festivals on TV, why not death? Actors spend more time on the sets than with their family. So when Sara's (Khan) character Sadhana was killed, co-stars Angad (Hasija) and Alok (Nath) were actually crying since Sara was leaving the show. In reality, Sara had said goodbye to the unit. It felt like an actual death."

Alex Delvecchio had a problem. It was 30 games into the 1969-70 season, and he had yet to score a goal.
Enter Miss America, Pam Eldred. She was a devoted Red Wings fan, and attended every home game. She felt sorry for Delvecchio, so she met with him, and gave him the Miss America lapel pin she had been given after her win. Alex thanked her, and pinned it to his suspenders.
As an extra good luck charm, one of the Joe Louis ushers sprayed Tabasco sauce all over his stick.
Finally, Delvecchio scored two goals against the Bruins on Deceber 31, 1969, the 34th game of a 76 game season. He returned the pin to Miss America with thanks, but we'll never know if it was her pin or the Tobasco sauce that did the trick.

What are you talking about!??!! What you describe is simply not the result of the UK's Birthplace Study.
I support homebirth that meets the qualifications set forth in the AAP's 2013 policy on homebirth.
"The standard is that only women with no identifiable risk factors before or during pregnancy, or during or after labor, should be birthing OOH."
I believe the Birthplace Study in the UK also found elevated risk for primiparas. Out of curiosity, in your analysis are you including them as homebirth eligible or do you consider an untried pelvis as an "indentifiable risk factor" that should cause a woman to be ruled out of homebirth?
I support homebirth that meets the qualifications set forth in the AAP's 2013 policy on homebirth.
Stats can only take you so far, you really need to look at your available options too. If your only available hospitals are large, chaotic with a high infection rate and a high intervention rate, but there are highly skilled midwives available, then the situation is much different than if the only available midwives have questionable training and skills, and there's a nearby hospital with a suitable level of skill and respect for the birthing mother and the birthing process.
Here are findings from the birthplace study:
Midwife (CPM, LDM) and homeschooling mama to:
14yo ds 11yo dd 9yo ds and 7yo ds and 2yo ds
If it's true, I can see the stat making sense... in the UK if there are complications, you're transferred to a hospital. In addition to just labor complications, hospitals also have to deal with birth defects, traumas, drug addicts, etc.
I would be intrigued to learn how the UK is managing, for example, pre-eclampsia or placenta previa at a home birth just as well as in the hospital. Otherwise, every risk level is NOT having the same outcomes.

No, an untried pelvis is not an identifiable risk factor. Although from stats tracked by AABC, they indicate that about 40% of primips will transfer to hospital from birth center care, but that doesn't mean it was a problem with the pelvis. Most of those are prolonged labor or a request for pain medication.
They don't, at the first sign of complications they're transferred to the hospital. That's why their home birth stats are so good.
It's kind of like my mom's logic: she always gets the new car which require zero maintenance, then when they get older she gives them to my dad and she gets another new one. When my dad drives them, they all start to require repairs and maintenance... she insists because it's the way she drives the cars that her cars have never required new batteries, tires, etc. but as soon as he starts driving them, "all sorts of things start to go" lol
And here is a report on infant mortality and causes
And i would have to say that mothercat, has some good points there are all sorts of chancers out there, drugs for induction increase the risks to dangerous levels for baby and mom , i have heard of this being done by doctors , CNMs and midwives and is in no way low risk in or out of hospitals or birth centers.
And there have been some heart Breaking losses reported on home births, i know in reading over some of the stories things may have turned out differently, in others i have read where mom was seen and tested/screened and then went home i am not sure that anything could have been done to change the outcome in that pregnancy. It does not hurt to review such cases to help learn from other's losses or mistakes.
they are more likely to develope pre eclampsia, untried pelvis is an aspect/ but is bigger like unmapped territory/tolerance...
Are you asking me what I'm talking about? I'm not sure I'm referencing the same specific study you're asking about, so I'm not arguing what that determined.
A Good Birth, a Safe Birth describes a study in which researcher Marjorie Tew classified births into categories of "very low," "low," "moderate," "high," or "very high," and "at each level of risk, perinatal mortality was lower out of hospital." Furthermore, it states that, "except for very high-risk births, the differences in [perinatal mortality rate] were what statisticians call statistically significant....At the very low and low levels of risk, hospital births had a two-to-three times higher rate of perinatal mortality. At a a moderate level of risk, the hospital PNMR was more than eight times greater than out-of-hospital PNMR. Even at a high level of assigned risk to the birth, the hospital PNMR was over three times higher."
Apparently, her further studies since have shown an increasing disparity (with hospital PNMR getting worse).
Do I, personally, have any way of verifying this? No. But I'm not making it up!
And here is a report on infant mortality and causes
These are just looking at live births who died within their first year of age.
Here is one abstract ---
Br J Obstet Gynaecol. 1986 Jul;93(7):659-74.
Do obstetric intranatal interventions make birth safer?
Tew M.
Impartial analyses of the evidence from official statistics, national surveys and specific studies consistently find that perinatal mortality is much higher when obstetric intranatal interventions are used, as in consultant hospitals, than when they are little used, as in unattached general practitioner maternity units and at home. The conclusion holds even after allowance has been made for the higher pre-delivery risk status of hospital births as a result of the booking and transfer policies. It holds even more strongly for births at high than at low predicted risk. It follows that the increased use of interventions, implied by increased hospitalization, could not have been the cause of the decline in the national perinatal mortality rate over the last 50 years and analysis of results by different methods confirms that the latter would have declined more in the absence of the former. Data are presented which point to the deleterious effect of interventions on the incidence of low birthweight and short gestation and their associated mortality. Also presented are data supporting the alternative explanation of the decline in perinatal mortality, namely the improvement in the health status of mothers built up over several generations. The organization of the maternity service stands indicted by the evidence. Despite the beliefs of those responsible, it has not promoted, and cannot promote, the objective of reducing perinatal mortality.
The thing is she is not an OB or a midwife she is an orthopedic doc..... She published several articles into the 90's .
And i wanted to include this link to the BC study- their law changing from CPM level education to include in hospital care as well did not occur until 2002 half way thru this study in 2004 , so it is showing some validity to licensed midwives even at the CPM level....which applies to the US in some areas.
That's from almost 30 years ago. Also, how do they define perinatal mortality? If a baby is stillborn, are they counting that? A frail, sick baby born in hospital who subsequently dies would be counted; would a stillborn baby at home be counted, or do they have to have drawn breath? There are countries where stillbirths don't count in perinatal mortality stats, which is one reason the US looks bad compared to some places. We'd want to look at the study to make sure apples are being compared to apples; you can't conclude anything from the abstract.
Infant mortality is not the right comparator to use either, because it measures pediatric care in addition to OB care.
Subbing to try to join in this discussion...a bit late, I know.
As I recall when re-researching HB again for my second birth a couple of years ago, I did come to the conclusion that HB presented a slight increased risk in mortality/morbidity from pregnancy-maybe 1 year of life (can't quite remember). To me, the small increased risk was weighed against the increased risk of an already relatively small risk. I weighed that against very large chance of a variety of negative outcomes in a hospital birth.
I just lost a bunch of my post but will come back when I have more time to read the links and videos posted.
I'll also see if I can find some threads here on the subject because I'm sure I've discussed this back when I was pregnant with my LO.
Troll? Here's me...
I'm remembering more about this topic as I post around the forum today. I have a pretty terrible time of retaining some of this stuff after I've made my decision so I'll just share a few thoughts that maybe can be added to the discussion by members who are currently reading the stats and etc.
I remember reading the studies and one thing that struck me is that a lot of hospital practices that I would consider morbidity are not listed as such. So, if in a HB setting the mother or child needed abdominal surgery...I think that would be listed as a form of morbidity. But I don't think c-section is listed like that in most of the studies. Correct me if I'm wrong. So, there's also things like forceps delivery, prolonged separation of mother and baby, and lots of other things that were factors for me in terms of morbidity but that weren't applied to the studies the way I would have liked.
Troll? Here's me...
...If we're objectively comparing statistics, shouldn't they be studies from at least the same period? Not one from 1990-2009, the other from 2005-2009 and then an abstract from 1986? That just makes it seem as though someone has made up their mind on a subject and has searched for sources to back up their statement.
This is the reason we'll never be able to obtain unbiased data. Someone always has a dog in the fight. When you get past the data and people's personal preferences, there is still the indisputable fact that some babies will do well and some will do poorly no matter what type of birth is chosen. There will never be an available control group, one baby can never be compared to another. One baby can be born on a sidewalk in -20C temperatures, to a young mom who hid her pregnancy and received no prenatal care, be pronounced dead, spend 3 hours in a morgue and be discovered alive (which happened here about two weeks ago), another baby may not be able to survive the most delicate birth attended by the most skilled and qualified professional. The fact that statistics need to be argued and picked apart at such lengths leads me to believe that almost any option available today as just as safe as another. It's six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Nope, but I've seen this one from College of Family Physicians of Canada: http://www2.cfpc.ca/local/user/files/%7B1E683014-14EB-489F-99CE-B5A2185A6FC5%7D/Medscape%20%20Wax%20Critique%20-%20Michal,%20Janssen,%20Vedam,%20Hutton,%20de%20Jonge.pdf
So in the 80's and 90's doctor M Tew was saying that medicine was not matching cases to cases- certainly we have made headway on very eary preterm survival . There have actually been increases in infant and maternal mortality in recent years as c-sections have increased-
I just referenced the Tew info because someone else mentioned it- just so we could actually look and see what it was about... She has some valid alalysis for the time period and a perspective / a way for this to be approached they could be useful... Although the info is dated- and the issues are the same and going on between medicine and midwives for atleast 100 years now. I can find very old large studies that showed that doctors had worse outcomes than trained midwives outcomes that could not be matched by doctors until1950's early 60's and yet they were able to outlaw and marginalize midwifery in this country.

And, personally, I find the fact that she's not a dr. or midwife a GOOD thing in a study like this - she doesn't have a vested interest in skewing the data to show what she wants it to show.
Yes, it's dated. I didn't go digging for it; I have better things to do with my time at the moment than go digging for new information to back up a decision I already researched and made years ago. ;) I just shared what I remembered having already read. Feel free to ignore it if you like. But I think it's still relevant, particularly since I don't know of any truly similar study having been done since.

Wow, that's some dense stuff right there! Thanks for a GREAT link.
When I was making my decision (again, I re-researched for my second planned HB...and it was a much different experience with the internet being my friend) I made some peace with a slight increase in risk of HB (and I chose my personal risk factors and quality of midwifery care accordingly) but I would have loved to have seen this just the same.
Thanks for linking!

AND it's written by doctors! LOL
I don't mean any offence to my lovely American friends but it's tough to trust studies from a country where one's bread and butter is either from the "pharmaceutical industry", the "health care industry" or the "home birth industry". Their objective is always to prove why theirs is better and why you, the customer should give them your money. In our system, the government takes all of our money up front via income tax and they decide for us which is safer saves them the most money in the long run. They take into account what lifestyle choices will produce the least expensive and most productive tax payers. So far there haven't been any studies convincing enough for them to suggest that one is actually safer than another. As a result, we have complete freedom at this point to choose home birth (if we qualify)(which is the least expensive for them), midwife (at home or in a hospital), an OB or elective caesarean. They have absolutely no interest in saving a few bucks on a birth if it means long term harm because they'd just be on the hook for further tax dollars whether it's medical care, psychological treatment or a person will require social assistance.
If home births were as significantly better as US midwives claim they are, our government would be all over them. Elective caesareans cost about $4,800, hospital births $2,400 and a midwife assisted birth is about $1,000. If one was SO much safer AND 5 times less expensive, wouldn't our government be behind them 100%?
I'm not advocating for one type or another, I'm just thinking the proof isn't there yet for there to be enough to argue over.
...and on the third hand, I'm very much "pro choice" and believe women should be able to choose the type of birth that is right for them. While caesarean is inhumane for one woman, a home birth will be for another. No woman should be bullied by either the medical community or other mothers (especially not other mothers) about what choice they feel is right for them.

Yes, I feel the same way. I didn't make my birth choices based on this strong feeling that I'm right. It was more complicated and all the choices were very subtle and the factors were woven together. I assume that many other mothers make their choices in a similar way and are perfectly able to do so and come up with another perfectly valid choice.
In the end of the day, though, how we choose birth and the factors we use and all of that are just one of a zillion choices we make for our kids. If I didn't think I could trust another mother's choice about where to give birth...I would be so stressed over the welfare of the children of the world that I don't think I could go on. Seriously.

So "Escaping" in the Canadian health care system I am assuming it is mostly RM doing home births, although as a member of the MDGC list I know that there are a fair number of FPs and OBs who also support those midwives and home birth.
There have been some well done home birth studies like Vedam's Vancouver study. And I think there was another one that was in Ontario before that. Both of these studies used university educated midwives (RM) compared to the CPM study in the US where the educational background of the midwives was not mentioned. However, from NARM documents it is known that until very recently that completing even a high school education was not a requirement for becoming a midwife, and almost none of the CPMs have a university based education. This means that they most probably do not have the university classes that are required to meet the ICM standards for anatomy and physiology, microbiology, and the other sciences and none of their placements or clinicals takes place in hospital.
I think it would be very difficult to compare the results from a study about home birth with midwives (CPMs and other non in US and a study in Canada with RMs. The World Health Organization has found that increasing the educational requirements for midwives to a university based system decreases maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity.
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by FP, but all midwives in Ontario are registered, regulated and university educated and have been since 1993. I'll just copy and paste their requirements at the end of this post.
Midwives are very much supported in the Canadian system, but it isn't as much an adversarial system as it seems to be in the US. Neither one is promoted as better or worse, the focus seems more to be on respecting the wishes of the mother (lol for once! I don't agree with much that goes on around here, but I must say I was very satisfied with the way I was treated throughout my pregnancy). I'm not one of those "loud and proud" Canadians, overall I think I would enjoy living in the US more, but as far as having children goes, I think I'd rather be pregnant in Canada.
Midwives in Ontario are regulated by the College of Midwives of Ontario (the College). You cannot practice midwifery, call yourself a 'midwife' or hold yourself out to be such unless you are registered with the College.
Midwives in Ontario are primary caregivers. As such, they hold full legal responsibility for their clients and are not supervised by a physician or obstetrician. Midwives in Ontario never work in only one area of client care, such as prenatal or intrapartum care. They are required to provide full service to their clients in all trimesters, throughout labour and birth and for six weeks postpartum. Under normal circumstances, a midwifery client and her newborn do not see any other health care practitioner during this time.
All midwives must attend both home and hospital births. Midwives are required to hold admitting privileges in at least one hospital and to attend a minimum number of both home and hospital births per year in order to maintain their registration.
Midwives in Ontario work as independent practitioners in group practices that are funded by the provincial Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. They are not salaried employees of hospitals, health centres or clinics and do not work shifts. Midwifery practices provide 24 hour on-call service to their clients. This means that every midwife works on call for set periods of time and while on call must be available 24 hours a day.
To be eligible for registration with the College of Midwives of Ontario you must:
- Be a graduate of the Ontario Midwifery Education Program (MEP), be a graduate of the International Midwifery Pre-registration Program (IMPP) or be a general registrant in another province of Canada.
- The Ontario Midwifery Education Program (MEP) is a four-year, baccalaureate degree offered at three Ontario universities. For information on the MEP, contact Ryerson University at www.ryerson.ca, Laurentian University at www.laurentian.ca or McMaster University at www.mcmaster.ca.
- The International Midwifery Pre-Registration Program (IMPP) is a one-year bridging program offered at Ryerson University. It is designed to offer assessment and upgrading to internationally trained midwives, in order to ensure that they meet the required standards to practice in Ontario. For information on the program, contactwww.ryerson.ca/ce/midwife.
- Midwives who are general registrants in another province of Canada where midwifery is regulated may be eligible for reciprocity registration. Please contact the College for more information.
- Be currently certified in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), Obstetrical Emergency Skills (ES), and Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP)
- CPR and ES certification must be within the previous 24 months, NRP certification must be within the previous 12 months. The standard for NRP is the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, the standard for CPR is Basic Rescuer Level C and standard for ES is the Association of Ontario Midwives' ES workshop, ALARM, ALSO or MORE OB.
- Have demonstrated proficiency in either French or English
- Proficiency in either French or English is demonstrated by one of the following: having obtained a midwifery degree in Canada; being registered in another province of Canada in which midwifery is regulated; or passing the Ontario Midwifery Language Proficiency Test (MLPT). The International Midwifery Pre-Registration Program administers the MLPT. For information on the test, please visitwww.ryerson.ca/ce/midwife.
- Be legally entitled to work as a midwife in Canada
- In order to demonstrate entitlement to work in Canada, proof of one of the following is required: Canadian citizenship, landed immigrant status, or an open employment authorization.
- Hold membership with the Association of Ontario Midwives (AOM).
- Have arranged professional liability insurance.
- Professional liability insurance is arranged for each midwife through the Association of Ontario Midwives (AOM).
Classes of Registration
There are three classes of registration with the College of Midwives of Ontario:
General, General with Conditions, and Supervised.
Registrants in the General class practice with no restrictions on their registration.
General with Conditions
Graduates of the Ontario Midwifery Education Program (MEP) are registered in the General with Conditions class. The conditions imposed on their registration are those of the College's New Registrant's Policy. This policy states that for the first year of practice, all new registrants must practice within an established Ontario practice, must work full time and must attend births with an experienced midwife. Other than these conditions, the new registrant is like any other midwife in the province, and provides the full scope of midwifery care. Once the conditions of this policy have been met, the member's registration class is changed to General.
Graduates of the International Midwifery Pre-Registration Program (IMPP) are registered in the Supervised class. The supervision is imposed in order to enable the supervised midwife to meet the clinical birth numbers required by the College's Registration Regulation, as well as to make up any gaps in clinical skills identified during the International Midwifery Pre-Registration Program. Supervised midwives are fully registered members of the College and provide the full scope of midwifery care to their clients. They are paid at the same rate as all other new registrants. Supervision will typically last anywhere from 6-12 months. Each supervised midwife has an individualized supervision plan prepared by the College prior to registration. Once the supervision plan is complete, the member's registration class is changed to either General with Conditions or General, depending on whether the midwife is still in her new registrant's year. A supervised certificate may only be issued for twelve months or less.
FPs are Family Practice doctors. The MDCG is a discussion list of FPs who do OB along with OBs, MFMs, and midwives, mostly Canadian, but from various countries also.
I think part of why some of the US system is adversarial is physicians and the university educated midwives worrying about the knowledge, skills, and proficiency of the CPMs and non- CPM midwives because of their lack of advanced education in the sciences and midwifery. RMs in Canada are more integrated into the larger health system, but in the US a general statement is that the non-CNMs prefer to see themselves as the alternative to CNMs and OBs rather than part of the larger system. The stories I have heard women tell about the fear-mongering propagated by some OOH midwives is horrific. The women become fearful of the OBs and transferring in when appropriate. Then when they do come in, the situation is quite serious, so the hospital staff is quite upset because if the woman had presented earlier there would have been more options for her. The hospital staff becomes upset with the midwife for the lack of good judgement and it all becomes a vicious cycle. And their lack of a university based education (science) puts the non-nurse midwives at a disadvantage in the larger discussion of appropriate patient care.

depend on the availability of smaller expeditionary forces that maintain a high level of military readiness. This greater reliance on readily deployable forces includes increased participation by guard and reserve members. Both active-duty, guard, and reserve forces experience profound life disruptions connected to all phases of deployment that, despite the relatively rapid and short-term experience, may have long-standing health consequences. Additionally, there is a component of deployed civilian workers who are similarly impacted by military deployment. The committee found that:
Extensive research exists on the health of veterans of military conflict.
The definition of deployment-related health issues selected for research has been too narrowly focused and has excluded some health consequences related to deployment.
There are gaps in the emerging data relevant to the study of war-related illnesses and postdeployment health issues.
Many investigations of health issues and effects of deployment have been mounted in response to health problems after they occurred, rather than being undertaken proactively.
Many veterans and some congressional staff are skeptical of the objectivity of both the Department of Defense (DoD) and the VA in the conduct of research into deployment-related health issues.
None of the locations of existing or proposed centers provides an adequate model for a national center that not only must be responsible for the conduct of a broad range of research but also must provide for synthesis and coordination of research efforts and for proposing policy changes based on research findings.
Examples exist of centers that cut across agencies and groups to carry out effective research agendas.
One component of the committee's charge was to review the VA's proposal to establish Centers for the Study of War-Related Illnesses and Postdeployment Health Issues by using the model of the Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Centers (GRECCs). The GRECC program has been successful in training health professionals, conducting cutting-edge research, and implementing effective treatment programs. Creating centers based on this model for the study of deployment-related health should contribute greatly to the advancement of knowledge in this area. Therefore, the committee recommends that the Department of Veterans Affairs proceed with its proposal to establish centers for the study of war-related illnesses, and that these centers be similar in structure to the Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Centers.

Carlos Singleton
Memphis Senior
PROS: Has excellent size and good hands. Attacks the ball in the air, and shows good body control on the jump balls. Times his jumps well and shows ability to shield defender. Works best on short throws.
CONS: Lacks speed and burst. Not as physical as his size should merit. Not going to get much separation. Not a factor after the catch because he lacks speed and burst.
OVERVIEW: He's got a thin build, and with his size and hands will be able to compete on the next level. But lacks the burst and quickness to really be a guy that can get open consistently.
NFL FORECAST: Singleton will be able to compete in the NFL because teams will love his potential in the redzone. And he'll be able to shine in preseason games because he'll be facing a lot of smaller corners. But against real NFL cornerbacks, he's not going to be a big factor. He's only really effective on short curls because he's not able to get separation on most normal routes. He'll be given opportunities, because coaches will want to take advantage of his gifts and ability to create mismatches. But he'll nver be a consistent enough threat to be an every-down receiver. His best chance of sticking for more than a few summers is if he can impact on special teams. If he shows ability there then he can play for more than three or so summers. At this point, he's basically a Kassim Osgood-type. His size makes him intriguing, but he's too limited offensively to be considered a building block.
ATL FORECAST: Singleton could add some depth if he could show ability on special teams. He would be intriguing, but would find it difficult to rise up the depth chart beyond the fourth receiver spot. As a special teams player, and if he can improve his blocking, he'd have a chance to be a part-time player, particularly in the redzone. But he wouldn't be a factor in the passing game, just a guy that looks good every summer when working against 3rd string 5-9 corners.
VALUE: Singleton probably isn't worth a draft pick, but wouldn't be a reach if he was drafted late in the seventh round for a team looking for depth.

Proposal seen as beneficial to Pinelands
A bill which would permit the development of solar, photovoltaic and wind energy facilities on closed New Jersey landfills or quarries was approved 34 to 0 by the state Senate Monday.
"With the environmental crisis gripping the Gulf of Mexico in the wake of the massive BP oil spill, there's more demand than ever for clean, renewable and sustainable forms of energy," Sen. James Whelan (D-Atlantic), the sponsor, said. "By opening up closed landfills for solar farms and wind energy facilities, we stand to make New Jersey a national leader in the clean energy industry. This bill is good news for the environment, and will result in new jobs and new economic activity for struggling communities throughout the state."
The measure, S-2126, would provide that – notwithstanding any existing law, local ordinance or regulation – that the development of solar and photovoltaic energy facilities or structures on any closed landfill or quarry, or an existing or closed resource extraction operation, be a permitted land use in every municipality, including areas preserved under the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan.Under the bill, the Pinelands Commission would be required to review any application for the development of a renewable energy facility on the site of a closed landfill or quarry, and determine that the development is in conformance with the applicable standards of the management plan. The bill was amended to include wind energy facilities as a permitted use in areas not already under the protection of the Pinelands management plan.
The development of a renewable energy facility would be prohibited from adversely impacting any existing engineering devices or environmental controls located on the site to facilitate site remediation, or any ecologically-sensitive areas located on, adjacent to, or within the same sub-watershed as the site proposed for development, except as may be approved by the Pinelands Commission in consultation with the state Department of Environmental Protection.
"New Jersey's communities – particularly in the Pinelands region – are facing budgetary problems and are quickly using up any developable land in the race for new tax ratables," Whelan said. "If we can allow developers to use currently unusable landfill sites to produce cheap, clean energy, then that's a win-win situation for these towns. Not only do we have to look for environmentally-friendly forms of development, but we have to look at the bottom line for towns which are quickly running out of options."
Whelan noted that there are nearly 80 unused landfills within the Pinelands preservation area, and of those 80, there are only two that have been capped. The other 78 landfills are sitting as unusable, undevelopable land.
"If we continue at the current rate of landfill remediation, it could take up to 300 years before every landfill in the Pinelands is restored to usable land," Whelan said. "We need economic solutions today to put people to work, and if we can promote an emerging, environmentally-friendly business model, that's even better. At the end of the day, unless we give communities the ability to diversify their economies and encourage new local investment from cutting edge new industries, we're going to be condemning homeowners to years and years of endless tax hikes."
The bill has the support of the Sierra Club of New Jersey.
Jeff Tittel, the organization's director, said solar farms on landfills will have environmental benefits. First, he said, the cap placed over the landfills would help stop leaking. Second, by generating solar energy, New Jersey will be producing clean electricity and promoting green jobs.
"This is even better than taking lemons and making lemonade; it's taking toxic leachate and turning it into clean energy," Tittel said. "Between the solar panels and the use of methane for energy, we're turning these blighted landfills into clean energy production facilities.
"This is an important bill for green jobs and the environment," Tittel added. "These landfills are polluting the environment. By putting solar farms on them, we'll take an environmental blight and turn it into a positive for the people of New Jersey."

Upfront costs
The costs you must pay when applying for a loan. Typically these include loan application fees. Some lenders require some of your closing costs also be paid when you apply.

Both owning and renting can have their advantages. The better choice for you depends on your circumstances. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when you weigh the benefits of renting against the benefits of owning, both from a financial and a personal perspective.
Renting has both advantages and disadvantages. For example, renting may provide you with more leftover cash each month, if your rent is less than a mortgage payment, and renters get to call the landlord to fix the leaky faucet. On the other hand, renters may not be allowed to make any changes to their living space and are often subjected to rent increases over time.
Owning a home may provide you with income tax benefits (though it's important to check with your tax advisor to see how owning would impact your personal situation). Owning a home also offers you the chance to increase your personal wealth as you pay off the Glossary Term: principal on your loan over time and build what is known as equity. Glossary Term: Equity is the difference between the Glossary Term: market value of the home and the outstanding balance of the mortgage loan(s) on the home. Of course, home values can rise or fall over time, so building equity is not guaranteed. And there are significant Glossary Term: upfront costs associated with buying, including Glossary Term: down payment and Glossary Term: closing costs.
Renting usually makes it easier to relocate (to pursue a job opportunity, for example). And if your rent is less than a mortgage payment, renting could allow you to contribute more toward specific savings goals, such as retirement, college, future travel, investments or even putting away money for a down payment for a home in the future.
Owning a home could make sense for you if you want to put your monthly living costs toward something you could eventually pay off and own outright. In addition, it also makes sense if you plan to stay in the area and prefer to feel settled in a home that reflects your personal tastes.
Only you can decide whether owning a home fits your life.

Phillies walk off for the third consecutive game
Aug 23, 2013, 10:45 PM EDT
The Phillies, perhaps coincidentally, have started to play better since firing long-time manager Charlie Manuel and replacing him with Ryne Sandberg. With tonight's walk-off victory, their third consecutive walk-off, they have won five of their last six games.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the Phillies victimized Rockies closer Rafael Betancourt, who we later found out was suffering from a sprained right elbow. Tonight against the D-Backs, the Phillies continued to fight back after falling behind early. Down 3-1 in the bottom of the sixth, catcher Carlos Ruiz doubled with the bases loaded to knock in two runs and tie the game at three apiece.
Diamondbacks closer Heath Bell relieved lefty Joe Thatcher in the eighth inning, recording the final two outs. Manager Kirk Gibson had him come back out in the ninth, but Bell couldn't get the job done. Cody Asche and Jimmy Rollins both singled to start the frame, putting runners at first and third with no outs. Gibson ordered bell to walk Michael Young — one of the catalysts in the previous two comebacks — intentionally, bringing up Kevin Frandsen with the bases loaded and no outs, the winning run just 90 feet away. Frandsen struck out on a curve, bringing up Chase Utley. Utley worked the count to 2-0, Bell fought back to 2-2, and Utley took two more balls for the walk-off walk as the Phillies won 4-3.
Starters Cole Hamels and Wade Miley more or less matched each other as Hamels allowed three runs in seven innings and Miley allowed three runs in six innings. Hamels remains at 5-13, the 13 losses tied for the National League lead. The Diamondbacks fall to ten games behind the Dodgers in the NL West and 7.5 games out of the second Wild Card. The Phillies improve to 58-70 but their playoff aspirations have long since disappeared. Too little, too late for the Sandberg-led bunch.
- DelawarePhilliesFan - Aug 23, 2013 at 10:55 PM
Too little too late for 2013. But this little run has some significance. First off, barring some big losing streak, I think we can now say Sandberg will be back for 2014. Second, they are getting game changing AB's for guys they need to get a hard look at – not just Asche and Ruf, but even J-Roll and Utley (do tehy still have it?). And kudos to Sandberg for not bunting Asche to 2nd after the lead off single in the 9th (I felt it was the wrong move – so glad to be proven worng!)

Ryne Sandberg will the manager of this team for a VERY LONG TIME.
At least one good thing happened this year for Phillies fans.
- dannythebisforbeast - Aug 24, 2013 at 10:34 AM
He will be manager until Rube is fired…I hope that will not be a very long time. A new manager usually lights a spark, maybe this should have been done when there was still a chance to make the postseason. If they go on a real tear could be said Rube screwed up again.

By Linda email@example.com A Fayetteville man is dead, police say, after the pick-up truck he was driving crossed a grass median on Tara Boulevard Monday near Mundy's Mill Road and hit a waste management truck head-on. The 55-year-old, black male, whose identity was not immediately released, pending notification of his relatives, was transported by helicopter to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, according to Clayton County Police Officer Kevin Hughes. The man, who had to be extricated from the pick-up truck, was pronounced dead at the hospital, Hughes said. The incident occurred Monday afternoon in Jonesboro. The driver of the other vehicle, which belonged to Georgia Waste Systems, was not injured, according to Hughes. - Linda Looney-Bond

Rated 2 out of 5Â by amanea for your shot gun wedding This dress is made with really soft and, beautiful vintage looking fabric. Unfortunately somebody slept on the wheel for the production design, this dress is NOT lined at all. So the top part is shapeless when it should have been "bustier" style and the bottom is transparent. And for $500 I find that not to be acceptable. Especially with such beautiful fabric ... what a waste. If you are willing to overlook that be advised the dress sizes on the large size, I'm 5'1, B cup 90lbd I got the XS and I would need this dress seriously tailored to fit. It has a strong wedding feel to it so it could be a sweet dress for a wedding in nature... 5.11.2014

just like that mural sized paper goes to trash?
Why keep shite????
just like that mural sized paper goes to trash?[/QUOTE]
When it's WAY off... I do that too... like the time my paper turns pitch black in developer or very faint density building up. But as you get close, how far do you go, especially when you are working with FB? When I get within like half a stop of being right, I have to at least do a quick wash and blow dry so I can assess the change necessary.
1/2 stop??
I question why you need to see it dry , we all know all about dry down and if you are using a paper over and over the dry down is consistent and predictable.
I make the print exactly as I think is should look when dry and then make a slightly darker and sometimes slightly lighter . Generally I like the middle print the next day.
All dodging and burning is seen way before in the developer.
I have heard all about the microwave, letting a print dry , having a glass of wine and analyzing test strips or patches and putting patches over a print to see different tones, or even the stories about diagrams that photographers give assistants to fix parts of a print which IMHO is a bunch of totally useless bullshit...
Those are all good stories, and yes entertaining at workshops where a named photographer/printer must justify their printing styles and fees for the workshop, and humble the students with their seemingly mastery of a process, but most top end printers I have ever met, and I have met a lot here and in travels , do not hesitate, they are decisive and fast, and able to repeat their steps. I have never seen one keep a bad print other than to use as a toner test strip.
I think you are being very hard on yourself and should loosen up and stop trying to make master pieces and try making nice prints that tell the story and you are happy to hang on a wall.
By the way ,,, isn't Ralph L in Florida right now ,, he can make some pretty shit hot prints I hear, why not ask him to come to your darkroom and spend a day with you... I do not have any commercial interest in Ralph only respect in what he talks about here.
You have SO MUCH experience.... the process may seem natural to you. To me, accurately judging the effects of dry-down is not possible. I can get close but not close enough. So I wait until it dries. Otherwise, I'll print pages that I don't like any of.... One thing though, I decided to use JUST ONE paper and one texture. So in time, I may get better. It took me awhile before I found a paper that I liked enough to stick with for time being.
Yeah, I'd love to sit with Ralph, even to just watch him print. I've been to his area... not too far from here. An hour and a little maybe?
Yes I do amaze myself in how incredibly talented I am...Dinesh will probably jump in here about now.
All I am trying to say is make the darkroom experience easier for yourself and you will make better prints. Also I cannot help but wonder how much wastage of paper is going on with time lapses introduced in your workflow.
