Freedom from sin
by Shaykh Ahmad Hendricks
In talking about sin another urgent question needs to be looked at. Why and how do people fall into it? Knowledge of the causes and then of managing them wisely with the intention of ultimately removing them is one of the fundamental ways of overcoming the disease. There are both general and specific causes of sin whether they are sins of the body or sins of the heart. In this and the next essay we will look at the general causes. The specific causes of sin will be dealt with in future essays and as the need arises. Generally speaking people fall into a particular sin as a result of mainly four causes:
- Lack of knowledge
- The influences of Shaytan
- The nafs or lower self
- Friends and peer groups
Let us look briefly at each of these points starting with the first and second:
Lack of Knowledge
Lack of knowledge is the great shortcoming of humankind. Educational systems of all types exist precisely to overcome this universal human weakness. Quite obviously sins cannot be avoided if they are not known to be sins. The beginning of right living or the pursuance of the good life depends entirely on the degree of knowledge of the devotee. It has to be remembered though that knowledge can be both acquired (kasbi) or innate (fitri). Often people with a minuteae of acquired knowledge feel dissatisfied with their lives. This dissatisfaction sometimes has its source in the innate knowledge of goodness and evil that every soul is inspired with. As Allah, the Most High, says: "And by the Soul and its creation in perfect proportion and balance, And the knowledge of evil and good He inspired into it." [Surah al-Shams,v 7-8].
Much of Islamic spirituality is geared to the awakening of that innate sense of good and evil. But this innate understanding of good and evil is not enough. Human nature is complex. Circumstance and upbringing can blind the fitrah. Some scholars hold that it can even be changed and distorted. As a result all of the well-known schools of spiritual development or tariqah (pl. turuq) as they are known stipulates the acquisition of a basic knowledge of Islam before higher instruction is given. And this, with good reason, if only to ensure that the student has a firm foundation on which to develop. It is hoped of-course that a basic knowledge of sin has been clearly described in the previous essays in this series.
Learning and acquiring knowledge is obligatory in Islam. One cannot go to the masjid everyday for the daily salah and neglect the important duty of gaining more knowledge. The two must go together. Doing the one and neglecting the other and still imagining that we are improving as Muslims is one of the great delusions of our time. The Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said, "Seeking knowledge is an obligation on every Muslim male and female"[ Narrated by Bukhari]. In this hadith we have one of the rare occasions where the Prophet (s), may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, specifically uses the Arabic term "faridah" or "obligation" mainly to underline the importance of knowledge.
Shaytan and the heart
In order to explain in meaningful terms the relationship between our heart and the workings of Shaytan, Ibn Qudama compares the heart to a fortress. He says:
Know that the heart is like a fortress. The Shaytan is the enemy who wants to invade the fortress, own, and control it. And there is no way to protect the fortress except by guarding the entrances. The doors cannot be guarded if we are ignorant of them and the Shaytan cannot be repelled except through knowledge of his routes of penetration. The doors and pathways of the Shaytan are the qualities of the slave and they are many. [Mukhtasar minhaj al-qasidin, Abridgement of the path of the seekers, Ibn Qudama, pg. 193-194].
Traditionally the word heart (qalb) has a number of different applications. In this passage the author uses it to refer to the entire non-physical part of us. And we know the heart in this sense is both susceptible to higher influences in the form of guidance from Allah, the Most High, and tends to rebel against that guidance through its desires and passions. Now the point of the author is that Shaytan is able to influence us and work his tricks of illusion and deception precisely because we are not vigilant enough and not knowledgeable enough of our shortcomings and of our negative qualities.

"If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden." wrote Frances Hodgson Burnett in The Secret Garden. Now, one of the greatest stories of children's literature comes to life on the Dock Street Theatre Stage in Charleston Stage's beautiful original adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's immortal classic. Audiences will re-discover the tale of orphaned Mary Lennox as she uncovers not just a garden but haunting mysteries that lead the way to redemption. Sponsored by and one of three productions in Charleston Stage's Piggly Wiggly Family Series, The Secret Garden is the perfect outing for children and families.
Members of Charleston Stage's Professional Resident Acting Company tell the tale of the persnickety Mary (played by James Madison University Theatre and Dance grad Arielle Kook), an eleven-year-old living in British India, who is forced to move in with her reclusive uncle Archibald Craven, played by Resident Acting Company member Harrison Grant, following a cholera epidemic. She finds herself in Yorkshire, England, on his Misselthwaite Manor. There, Mary is forced to fend for herself, and creates friendships with the maid, Martha (Lauren Monteleone), the maid's brother, Dickon (Devon A.A. Norris), and the kindly gardener Ben Weatherstaff (Scott Gibbs). Taking a shine to the girl, Martha tells Mary the tale of the late Mr. Craven's wife, her love for a private garden and her untimely death. When she died Mr. Craven had the garden locked and buried the key. But when Mary discovers the key in a badger hole, she not only opens the door to a fallow garden, but uncovers the estates' deepest secret -- the unearthly cries she keeps hearing each night.
Directed by one of Charleston Stage's Professional Resident Actors, who recently performed on stage as Grown Up Ralphie in A Christmas Story, Josh Harris leads this heartwarming saga that's absorbed readers for generations. Now see The Secret Garden bloom on stage.
February 3rd: "The Secret Garden." Presented by Charleston Stage at Dock Street Theatre, 135 Church Street; Adapted by Julian Wiles; Based on the Novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett; Directed by Josh Harris; Sponsored by Piggly Wiggly Family Series. Based on the 1911 novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden tells the story of Mary Lennox, a spoiled, 11-year-old orphan who is returned to England to live at her uncle's mansion. Mystery unfolds as Mary discovers family secrets and a hidden garden. Will Mary learn that caring for something as simple as a garden can unlock the key to her heart and soul?

Here's a photo of an ultra-orthodox Jewish man wrapped in a plastic bag in his airline seat. His reasoning (if one might apply such a word) is unclear but apparently this is done to ensure the Bagged One does not become impure in the eyes of God just in case the plane flies over a Jewish cemetery.
Yeah, I know. What do you mean the cabin is pressurized? That's no good. Gimme a giant see-through plastic bag with a breathing hole poked in it somewhere. That's how you block out the magical nasty.

What causes a collapsed lung?
A collapsed lung is the deflation of some or all of a lung, resulting in difficulty breathing, chest pain, and low oxygen in the blood (hypoxia). Collapsed lung can refer to pneumothorax, an accumulation of air within the chest cavity, which prevents the lungs from expanding fully, or atelectasis, a deflation of the tiny air sacs (alveoli) within the lungs.
A collapsed lung resulting from a pneumothorax begins as a hole in the lung, which allows air to escape from inside the lung and inflates the space between the lung and the ribcage. Pressure from this enlarging pocket of air causes the lung to collapse. Atelectasis is often caused by a pneumothorax, but it can be a complication of many respiratory diseases. Blockage of the airways, such as with a foreign object, tumor, or mucus plug, can also lead to atelectasis.
Pneumothorax-related causes of collapsed lung
Possible causes of pneumothorax, or air accumulation in the chest that prevents lung expansion, include chest trauma, underlying lung disease, or a ruptured bleb (small air-filled space in the lungs). Pneumothorax can also occur for no apparent reason.
- Bleb (small air-filled space in the lung) that bursts, often because of a change in air pressure
- Blow to the chest, such as from an air bag inflating
- Chest trauma, such as a knife or gunshot wound or a fractured rib
- Medical procedures, such as chest tube insertion, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and lung biopsies
- Underlying lung disease, such as cystic fibrosis, emphysema, lung cancer, pneumonia, and tuberculosis
Atelectasis-related causes of lung collapse
Atelectasis, or collapse of the small air sacs in the lungs, is typically caused by a blockage of the airways or pressure on the outside of the lungs. Specific causes of airway blockage and lung pressure include:
- Accumulation of mucus in the airways
- Blood clot
- Blow to the chest caused by a fall or car accident
- Foreign object in the airways
- Lung diseases, such as tuberculosis, that cause narrowing of the airways
- Lung tumor
- Pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid around the lungs)
- Pneumonia
What are the risk factors for a collapsed lung?
A number of factors increase the risk of developing a collapsed lung. Not all people with risk factors will get a collapsed lung. Risk factors for a collapsed lung include:
- Activities such scuba diving, flying, or hiking at high altitudes
- Family history of pneumothorax
- History of lung disease (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, or whooping cough)
- Long-term confinement to bed
- Obesity
- Recent anesthesia
- Smoking

What are the symptoms of a collapsed lung?
A collapsed lung is a deflation of the lungs, which affects normal breathing and leads to chest pain. Symptoms vary depending on whether the lung collapse is due to air between the chest wall and lungs (pneumothorax) or deflation of the small air sacs (alveoli) within the lungs (atelectasis). Symptoms can vary in intensity among individuals.

How is a collapsed lung treated?
Treatment for a collapsed lung begins with seeking medical care from your health care provider. The goal of treatment for a collapsed lung is to re-inflate the collapsed lung to ease breathing and improve oxygenation. Treatment depends on the severity of the collapsed lung and the cause.

Lincoln – Nebraska's Jordan Hooper earned a position on USA Basketball's 12-player roster for the Women's World University Games, USA Basketball announced on Sunday.
Hooper, a 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., captured her first roster spot with USA Basketball in her first trip to a trials. The two-time All-American has powered Nebraska to back-to-back NCAA tournaments, including a trip to the NCAA Sweet 16 as a junior in 2013.
Hooper, a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection, earned a spot on USA Basketball's Women's World University Games Team after three days (May 16-18) of intense competition among 33 of the nation's top collegians at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
The U.S. Women's Basketball Junior National Team Committee chose the select squad that will represent the United States at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia, July 8-15. Hooper and the other 11 members of the U.S. team will meet again for training at the USOC June 25-July 1.
"I am really excited," Hooper said. "I didn't really think I had much of a chance to make the team honestly, because there were so many great players, and I didn't really feel like I played that well the first two days. But I made up my mind from the beginning to just go out and play hard and do my best, and I think that's what the coaches liked about me."
Hooper, who will sporting No. 10 for USA Basketball, is one of five members of the 2013 USA Basketball Women's World University Games Team who will be making their first appearances on a U.S. squad. Shoni Schimmel (Louisville), Aaryn Ellenberg (Oklahoma), Crystal Bradford (Central Michigan) and Tricia Liston (Duke) all join Hooper as first-timers on the U.S. team.
The other seven members of the squad have multiple years of a experience with USA Basketball, including Ariel Massengale (Tennessee), Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (UConn), Bria Hartley (UConn), ReShanda Gray (Cal), Cassie Harberts (USC), Theresa Plaisance (LSU) and Odyssey Sims (Baylor). The team will be coached by Sherri Coale (Oklahoma) with help from assistants Brian Giorgis (Marist) and Coquese Washington (Penn State).
"It is a great opportunity," Hooper said. "I am just going to try to make the most of it and enjoy the experience. I'm really honored to get a chance to represent the United States at the international level for the first time."

I have used CSLA for many years but am new to CodeSmith. I used the csla quickstart to generate an object from my db named Customer. It has a CustomerId as primary key. I have an asp project to consume the object. I add a CSLA datasource to the page and configure is by selecting either Customer or CustomerList from the available choices. Now I add a formview and connect it to the datasource. It generates the initila item view as expected. When I try to enter code in the SelectObject event to load the object there are no methods available to do so. Looking at the generaed code all of the factory methods are internal so I can get to them from the UI. How am I supposed to instantialte objects from the UI? Is it expected that everything will always be done through the collection objects?
The CSLA Templates look at the database relationships and try to make assumptions on business object types for you. CSLA has many different business object types and each have a different role (www.lhotka.net/.../CSLA4CheatSheet.pdf). A Child is meant to be internal and be populated by a parent object. Thus you can only access data on it. If you wish to use a public factory method then you need to change the business object type.
You can remove the CodeSmith Generator dependency on your projects by right clicking the CSP file and unchecking Generate On Build. I'm curious as to why you don't want your team to have CodeSmith Generator installed?

We've looked into generating from Entity Framework and extending the designer but it just doesn't allow for that much flexibility as a designer when dealing with CSLA where you might have the same resource (table) being used for multiple different BO Types.
With the latest version of the templates, you could generate off of an EDMX with a bit of work / modification. You would need to take a look at the latest ef templates (edmx template) for more information.

Mirror Mirror is a beautiful movie for people who love fantasy stories brought to you by Brothers Grimm. Mirror Mirror is a comedy/fantasy film based on the Brothers Grimm's tale: Snow White. The talented director, Tarsem Singh added a new twist to this loved fairy tale of all times. Let's dive into the magical world of Mirror Mirror:
Here is a quick overview on the cast and their characters in the movie Mirror Mirror
Julia Roberts as Queen Clementianna
Julia Roberts was the first actor to be cast in the film Mirror Mirror. The director Tarsem Singh envisioned an Evil Queen that can easily reach out to people. A person they can relate to. Singh's vision of the Evil Queen is not at all evil but is very insecure. Singh also added that there is going to be a part at the end of the film where the Queen's true ugliness will be revealed.
Lily Collins as Snow White
Lily Collins gave an interview with regard to her experience to being casted side by side Julie Roberts in Mirror Mirror. According to an interviews Lily Collins said that she was cast in the movie within 24 hours after she read for Singh. Lily Collins maybe new in the industry but she sure has the right looks to be the magical character Snow White in this film: Mirror Mirror.
Armie Hammer as Prince Andrew Alcott
There is no true fairy tale without a Prince Charming! Armie Hammer is the prince that was cast in Mirror Mirror. In the film, he was first enamored by the Queen and then fell for Snow White. So what will really happen between this love triangle? We will just have to watch and see!
Other supporting actors in the film are namely: Nathan Lane, Sean Bean, Mare Winningham and Michael Lerner.
Let's take a peek on a short quote from People.com on Lily Collins as Snow White:
"And although Collins may be relatively new to the industry, she has a few A-list advisers to turn to: Her father is musician Phil Collins – "He's just a proud dad," she says – and her (rumored) boyfriend is Twilight top dog Taylor Lautner, alongside whom she stars in Abduction, a thriller that hits theaters in September.
"I'm going to keep the private life private," she says of the rumored romance. "I'm in this for the craft; I'm in it for the passion."
Perhaps this passion is something Singh noticed when casting her – that and something else.
"I saw her eyebrows, and I said, 'You're it,' " the director tells PEOPLE, joking. "When I first saw her [for Snow White], I think she was trying for the part, but when I saw her I just said, 'She doesn't even have to try at all.'
It is starting to look like a lot of people are looking forward to this new movie: Mirror Mirror. According to the poll at Rotten Tomatoes, 92% of their audiences would like to see the film. Get ready to watch one of the most beloved fairy tales in a new light this March 16th 2012 with Mirror Mirror

'Till Death Do Us Part
In the past few months I've presented the most common reasons why physicians get sidetracked with their investments—namely the constant media blitz and our own overconfidence. Now it's time to see the consequences of these distractions and give you a dose of preventative medicine.
The ChallengeStaying disciplined in investing is similar to those days in residency when you were on call in the ICU: dead tired in the morning after being up all night, you think to yourself, "I can't do this anymore." Let's take a look at the type of discipline you need to be a successful investor. The graph below shows the monthly returns of the US stock market over 20 years (exhibit A).

If you were presented with this image in the ED, you would be getting the paddles charged up for a 360J shock. What you'll immediately notice is the extreme fluctuations in the monthly returns of the stock market. Now here's the shock: you have to live with this volatility and it is inescapable. Further, the magnitude of the declines is greater than the magnitude of the gains. If you want the upside, you have to suffer through the downside. The black line represents the average of all of this—an average monthly gain of 0.7%. Ask yourself: am I willing to potentially lose 15% in a month just to gain less than 1% a month on average?
The ConsequencesSo let's say you can't stomach the pain and you keep getting in and out of the stock market. How much can you really lose? It turns out it's a bundle. Take a look at the past nearly 40 years of data (exhibit B).
The chart shows the growth of $1,000 invested in the US stock market starting on January 1, 1970 and ending on December 31, 2008. Out of the roughly 9 thousand trading days, missing the few best days in the market would have cut your returns by nearly 75%. Now think about this—missing 25 of the best days is only 0.28% of the trading days in the past 40 years (assuming 9,000 trading days). You may as well invest in a CD and forget about it. Some of you may be wondering what would happen if you missed the worst days in the market. In that case, of course your returns would be far higher, but most people are affected far more by losses than gains, and so it makes sense to look at it this way.
You might think that you're not prone to these types of mistakes, but studies done on individual investors returns show otherwise. A widely known study, which is repeated periodically, reveals that the average investor dramatically underperforms not only the stock market but doesn't even keep up with inflation (exhibit C).
Why? Most investors lack the discipline to ride out the extreme fluctuations and so they buy high and sell low, which violates a basic principle of investing.
SolutionsIt's time for a little vaccination. How can you stay disciplined in investing?
Think long term. You hear this in the media all the time, but what I mean by long term is not next month or next year. Long term is your entire investing lifetime—well beyond retirement. You have to take a "'til death do us part" attitude toward your portfolio. By thinking in this way, short term fluctuations matter far less.
Turn off the TV and unsubscribe to magazines. Toss every piece of financial pornography in the trash. Watch ESPN and the Discovery Channel instead of CNBC and Bloomberg.
Stop looking at your portfolio. You don't have your house appraised every day do you? (if you do, then I have no hope for you.) Then stop appraising your portfolio every day. The best way to reduce the ups and downs of your portfolio is to look less often. And delete your watchlists and portfolios from your Yahoo home page.
Think about risk tradeoffs. While short term noise affects you emotionally and causes you to make irrational decisions, remember there is a far greater hidden risk eating at your portfolio: inflation. Your pay already lags inflation. Don't compound this risk with poor investment discipline.
Get on with your life. The stock market is smarter than you. Just because you got in to medical school and a competitive specialty doesn't mean you'll be rewarded with good investment returns. The market doesn't know and doesn't care. Instead of fighting the market, accept it by swallowing a big pill of humility. By focusing on enhancing your life, you'll ultimately enhance your returns.

# You are SO right! — 2010-03-31 14:05
As with many of us, I spent far too long with a major broker before realizing that the market is smarter than all of us. When 75% of professionally managed mutual funds don't outperform their own 5 year benchmarks, and 95% don't outperform over 10 years, what should make me think I'm any smarter?
Two books are must reading: "Coffeehouse Investor"[http: //www.amazon.co m/New-Coffeehou se-Investor-Wea lth-Ignore/dp/1 59184245X] by Bill Schultheis and "Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk"[http://ww w.amazon.com/Ag ainst-Gods-Rema rkable-Story-Ri sk/dp/047129563 9] by Peter Bernstein. Anyone still wanting to "play the market" (i.e, invest in individual stocks or mutual funds) after reading these two books deserves the returns they get.
"Divorcing" my Wall Street firm was hard, but switching to a portfolio of index funds through a low overhead wealth management firm like the author's or the one I use [/http://soundm arkwealth.com/] was the best move I ever made.

DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This is a prototype lure Hippel is working on. It's a baitfish imitation featuring a keel-weighted offset worm hook. It caught specks for us.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO The Double Bunny fly on top is the original inspiration for Heath Hippel's Buggs jigs. The lure below is a Buggs Double Bunny jig, which is the result of that inspiration.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This is a Beastie Bugg in the blue crab color, a best-seller. It's good for sightcasting to redfish. Inspired by Del's Merkin crab fly.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This scene from Corpus Christi Bay is one of the types of areas Buggs Fishing Lures were made to fish.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This common loon migrated to South Texas a bit early. We spotted it more than a week ago while fishing with Buggs lures in Deadman's Hole.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Here's what the Buggs Double Bunny jig looks like submerged in the bay. Hippel calls this color PBT (pretty buggy thing).
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This trout went for the original Buggs white stripe Curl-Tail Jig. Hippel refers to this as his most popular lure and most versatile design for shallow or deeper water. It's available locally at Roy's Bait & Tackle.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES We intended to sightcast for redfish during Heath Hippel's visit. But instead we were greeted by a very high tide and scattered fish. The slow pace was enhanced somewhat by small aggressive redfish and trout.

Thread: a name for my new kitty!!
May 15th, 2013 07:54 AM #1
a name for my new kitty!!
So I just got my first cat yesterday. It's absolutely adorable! It's light grey and really fluffy with blue eyes. I'm a bit of a geek and an avid reader so I wanted to give her a kind of geeky/literary/different sort of name. I'm also a pianist so I thought maybe something musical. I can't make up my mind! I'm a HUGE fan of Sherlock and Supernatural, but names like Winchester, Castiel, Sherlock, or Watson don't really work for a female cat :( Anyway here's my list of favorite names so far. Please give me feedback on these or new suggestions!!
Bronte, Marlowe, Emerson, Keats, Darcy, Eyre, Thisbe, Eowyn, Peregrine nn Pippin
Everly, Lennon, Allegra, Echo
Clover, Mavis, Clementine, Beatrice

Other names:
Singer (for Bobby Singer, and it's musical, though not instrumental I suppose)
Harvelle (for Ellen and Jo Harvelle, nn Harvy, Elle, Vella, Arvi, Arva... etc.)

And, the second is two tickets to see our catwalk show at London Fashion Week, 15th September! As well as Bumble and bumble Mending shampoo and conditioner, surf spray and texture creme (this is available to UK residents only who are in London for fashion week.)

April 9, 2009
ALBUQUERUQUE, N.M.-- University of New Mexico men's tennis head coach Alan Dils announced the signing of highly-talented high school senior Jadon (ja-DON) Phillips who will join the Lobos in the fall of 2009. Phillips, a Macon, Ga., native, is currently ranked 18th in the nation among high school seniors and is the reigning 2008 ATP Gator Bowl Junior Tennis champion, an event where he defeated two top 10 U.S. juniors in the semifinals and final.
Phillips has been ranked in the top 15 in the nation in Boys 18 singles.
"We are confident Jadon will make an immediate impact in all aspects of being a Lobo," Dils said. "He is a fighter who will give it his all every match and try to out-compete his opponents no matter what the situation. We're absolutely thrilled Jadon and his family decided to choose UNM over a number of other very strong schools."
Phillips brings with him a strong resume, both on and off the court.
"I chose New Mexico because it has a good pharmacy school, the team is very close, like family, and I am looking forward to the culture and diversity," Phillips said.
Phillips is a three-time National Open Champion in addition to a two-time Gator Bowl champion. He took home the title in Macon in Boys 14, Boys 16 and Boys 18. Phillips is most proud of his national championship at the age of 14.
"It was the best moment because it was my first national title, it was in my hometown and I came in as a No. 9 seed," Phillips said.
"With Jadon we are not only getting a top 15 U.S. junior and an academic honors student, but a young man who shares the competitive spirit that makes the Lobos who we are," assistant coach Bart Scott said.
Phillips is in the top 30 in his class, sports a 3.92 GPA and was named to the AB Honor Roll his freshman and sophomore years.
He is considered a "Blue Chip" recruit by TennisRecruiting.net and was recruited heavily by Georgia Tech, Georgia State and Michigan State. He considers his strengths to be his backhand and his ability to stay even-keel on the court.
"I am what they call a counter-hunter," Phillips said. "I am very consistent and use my opponents to generate my own pace."
The son of Derek and Velma Phillips, Jadon attends Macon's Central High School where he will graduate with honors. Phillips plans on pursuing a degree in Pharmacy. His community service includes participating in Feed a Family during the Thanksgiving season, Toys for Tots and bowling to raise funds for breast cancer.
"I am really looking forward to the experience at the college level, with studies, tennis and learning," Phillips said.

HAMILTON, N.Y. – Junior forward Dave Dudzinski (Elburn, Ill.) totaled 15 points and eight rebounds, but the Holy Cross men's basketball team was defeated by Colgate 63-45 at Cotterell Court. Dudzinski hit five of nine field goal attempts on the day, including all three of his shots from three-point range. The Crusaders fall to 10-12 overall and 2-5 in the Patriot League with the loss, while the Raiders improve to 9-14 on the season and 3-4 in the conference.
Holy Cross committed 15 turnovers in the game to just six for Colgate, while being outrebounded 33-30. The Crusaders also made only 37.8 percent of their field goal attempts (17 of 45), and attempted six free throws on the day (making four).
Both teams struggled to score early on, and the Raiders held a 10-5 lead with 12:47 remaining in the first half. Holy Cross then used an 11-2 run over the next four minutes to claim the lead, with Dudzinski hitting two three-pointers during that time. The Crusaders were still up by four (21-17) with 6:40 left before the break, when Colgate score the next eight points to pull back in front. The Raiders would eventually take a 28-26 advantage into the locker room at halftime.
Holy Cross played excellent defense to start the second half, holding Colgate to only two points over the first six minutes. But the Crusaders could manage only five points of their own during that time, and led just 31-30 with 14 minutes left to play. The Raiders then netted the next seven points to reclaim the lead for good. Colgate was later up by five points (46-41) with 6:35 remaining, before using 7-0 spurt to put the game away. The Raiders would go on to outscore the Crusaders 7-0 in the final two and a half minutes, to pull away for an 18-point victory.
Senior center Phil Beans (Toledo, Ohio) finished the game with 10 points and three rebounds for Holy Cross. Murphy Burnatowski led Colgate with 19 points and three rebounds.
The Crusaders return to action on Saturday, Feb. 9, when they play host to Lehigh at 4:00 p.m.

While red eyes are usually attributed to not looking beautiful — tired, grief-stricken, intoxicated, the list goes on and on — ever since Nina Ricci's Spring 2011 runway, I've been fascinated with the idea of smoky crimson lids. Sure, the look isn't entirely new — token bad teen Taylor Momsen's been rocking the roughed-up-and-worn look for awhile now (complete with black lipstick, no less) — and sure, I've see my share of cranberry and terra cotta shades. But never before has the look been truly elegant and romantic. While it certainly looks best when balanced with nude lips and creamy skin, the style isn't too hard to pull off as long as you're prepared to turn heads! The models at the Nina Ricci show wore a saturated version of the brick-inspired Stila eyeshadow in Pigalle. If you're timid, start off with a sheer wash like MAC Cream Colour Base in Movie Star Red, which isn't nearly as matte as it looks in the pot. However, if you're ready to go ultra-bold, try Topshop's Matte Eyes shadow in Painted.

Report: GMs likely to discuss expanded goal reviews in March
Jan 21, 2014, 7:52 PM EDT
NHL general managers will discuss expanding the scope of video goal reviews during their next meetings in March, ESPN's Pierre LeBrun reports.
In fact, LeBrun believes that there's so much momentum for making sure that the Toronto "war room" can consider a wider array of video replays that the question might be when, not if, changes are made. There's even talk that changes could be made by the 2014 playoffs.
(Such a change would require voting from the NHLPA and the league's 30 owners, along with the GMs.)
While it's likely that there have been those who have clamored for changes for some time, LeBrun points out two recent questionable goals that added even more momentum to the discussions.
Niklas Kronwall's questionable game-tying goal from Jan. 18 was a big one:
Monday's game-winner for Joe Pavelski also brought about questions as to whether he was offside:
Bob McKenzie backed up the rumblings during an appearance before NBCSN's Minnesota Wild – Dallas Stars game, but he also discussed some points of disagreement, as certain details (how far back will the reviews go, how far should replays be expanded?) need to be hashed out.

"Niklas Kronwall's questionable game-tying goal"
PHT must be using a very loosely defined version of the word "questionable".
- hockeydon10 - Jan 22, 2014 at 9:29 AM
Not really. While it's certainly not questionable to most fans — even Kronwall himself admits it hit the netting — the play is not ruled dead from a puck out of play until the officials blow the whistle for it being out of play. That's how the current rule book reads.
Now, should it be changed? Yes. It's just a matter of defining how far back to go in review and defining what actions can overturn a goal called on the ice.
- wtfkwp - Jan 22, 2014 at 11:49 AM
I think he's going with the idea, as I would, that there's no questioning that it wasn't, in reality, a goal. It was a goal in a real sense, while not according to the rules, which are obviously in error. If you understand that rules can be wrong, you get the idea.
- wtfkwp - Jan 22, 2014 at 11:50 AM
The "tuck rule" in the NFL is another example.
- hockeydon10 - Jan 22, 2014 at 4:41 PM
The rules say a puck is in play until the refs decide it isn't. Pretty cut and dried.
- stakex - Jan 21, 2014 at 8:31 PM
The big problem will be the scope of these expanded reviews, as mentioned above.
For example: Say a team enters the attacking zone, is slightly offside, and scores on the rush. Its easy to say that goal should be disallowed. However, what happens if a team enters the zone offside, has strong possession, and scores 45 seconds later…. or even a minute or more after the original offside? At that point the original offside isn't directly tied to the goal, but where do you draw the limit on reviewing the goal? That's a pretty tough question, and one of the main reasons offside was never reviewable. Same is true with a puck off the netting. When does the goal no longer become reviewable? What happens if the puck bounces off the netting, leaves the zone, and the other team scores?
All of those, plus many others, are questions that need to be answered before expanded replay is possible.
- joey4id - Jan 21, 2014 at 10:47 PM
What's the difference between slightly offside, and offside with strong possession? What happens if the referee waves off a seemingly goal and play continues for 4 minutes, and the opposing team scores a goal? The video review of the waved off goal clearly indicates that the puck completely crossed the line. What happens to all the stats that were registered between the time of the waved off goal and the legit goal? Read the rule book and you"ll understand what they could do in the case of a slight offside or an offside with strong possession.
- sharksfan754 - Jan 21, 2014 at 8:34 PM
Challenge flag. You get penalized a 2 minute delay of game if wrong. I'm torn on making them have to have a timeout to challenge and you'd just lose that instead. Either way it's better than what we have now. Make it happen after Olympic break.
- hockeydon10 - Jan 22, 2014 at 9:34 AM
Even with a challenge flag they would still need to define what can be challenged.
Can they challenge hand passes prior to a goal? played with high stick? off netting? off player on the bench? off turnbuckle partition (the one Pachiorety was hit into)?
How far back can they go? 15 seconds? 30? 1 minute?
In the end, whatever is chosen for coaches challenge could instead be incorporated into the video review. The first step is to define all that.
- csilojohnson - Jan 21, 2014 at 8:43 PM
I agree with expanding it to catch something like the Kronwall goal.
Not reviewing the linesmans calls though. Slippery slope on those.
As for challenge flags…. I think the NHL should stay away from adopting anything the NFL is doing related to officiating.
- ethanmacleod1685 - Jan 21, 2014 at 9:08 PM
How is this not a rule now?
- hockeydon10 - Jan 22, 2014 at 9:35 AM
re: Kronwall goal: Pucks are considered in play until an official blows the whistle and indicated it left the playing area.
- ibieiniid - Jan 21, 2014 at 9:27 PM
I'm now apprehensive of putting any sort of projectile in certain coaches' hands. no challenge flags, please.
- stratomaticfan - Jan 21, 2014 at 10:34 PM
You don't think Torts would act appropriately with a projectile in his hands?
- hockeydon10 - Jan 22, 2014 at 9:42 AM
Seems obvious the only way it would work is:
1) if the infraction — played with high stick, hand pass, puck out of play, etc. — then went directly to the goal scorer the goal could be called back.
2) there was an infraction — played with high stick, hand pass, puck out of play, etc. — off the goal scorer's stick with no intervening play in between.
Otherwise it gets too muddied and becomes difficult to define how far back they can go.
The Kronwall goal is a great example.
For example 1), (a hypothetical could-have in that situation) if the shot went off the netting and landed in front of Quick and Bertuzzi fired it in, no goal on review because it went out of play and then was fired in directly from hitting the protective netting.
For example 2, (the actual play that occurred) the shot went off the netting and then into the goal, review overturns it because it hit the netting.
- wtfkwp - Jan 22, 2014 at 11:55 AM
I think they could give a challenge button to the TV analysts for the teams. The challenge wouldn't be mandatory, but Toronto could stop and look at it, based on the opinion of the team's analyst, which would generally be because of something he saw and confirmed on a replay. All uses of the challenge button could be informally discussed in private so the league and the teams understand each others' concerns.
This would give the league an "opportunity" to correct a gross error without it turning into a circus as with the NFL's flag-throwing business. FWIW, I think the NFL can screw up anything, and their flag system is proof of it. They get the perfect opportunity to correct an error and still screw it up. In the case where the team is right, they still lose a challenge opportunity. It also shouldn't affect their timeout situation. It's a mess.

When used in pregnancy during the second and third trimesters, ACE inhibitors can cause injury and even death to the developing fetus. When pregnancy is detected, VASERETIC should be discontinued as soon as possible. See WARNINGS, Pregnancy, Enalapril Maleate, Fetal/Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality.
VASERETIC (Enalapril Maleate-Hydrochlorothiazide) combines an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, enalapril maleate, and a diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide.
VASERETIC is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. These fixed dose combinations are not indicated for initial treatment (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
In using VASERETIC, consideration should be given to the fact that another angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, has caused agranulocytosis, particularly in patients with renal impairment or collagen vascular disease, and that available data are insufficient to show that enalapril does not have a similar risk. (See WARNINGS.)
In considering use of VASERETIC, it should be noted that black patients receiving ACE inhibitors have been reported to have a higher incidence of angioedema compared to non-blacks. (See WARNINGS, Angioedema.)

Efficacy and safety of lercanidipine versus hydrochlorothiazide as add-on to enalapril in diabetic populations with uncontrolled hypertension. [2006.01]OBJECTIVE: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors plus dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers or low-dose thiazide diuretics are considered first-line therapies in hypertensive diabetic patients as glucose metabolism is not relevantly affected. Most diabetic patients require at least two different drug classes to achieve the recommended target blood pressure of 130/85 mmHg. This controlled clinical trial investigated the calcium channel blocker lercanidipine versus hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) as add-on in diabetic patients with uncontrolled hypertension on enalapril monotherapy... CONCLUSION: Lercanidipine add-on showed comparable efficacy to HCTZ add-on in diabetic patients with hypertension badly controlled on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor monotherapy. The blood pressure response rates seemed to be somewhat higher following enalapril plus lercanidipine than enalapril plus HCTZ.
Efficacy and safety of delapril plus manidipine compared with enalapril plus hydrochlorothiazide in mild to moderate essential hypertension: results of a randomized trial. [2004.09]BACKGROUND: The use of combination therapy is required to achieve blood pressure targets in 40% to 75% of patients with hypertension. There have been few studies comparing the efficacy and tolerability of the new fixed combination of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor delapril 30 mg and the calcium channel antagonist manidipine 10 mg with those of a standard combination of another ACE inhibitor and a diuretic. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the antihypertensive efficacy and tolerability of delapril 30 mg given alone or with manidipine 10 mg with those of enalapril 20 mg given alone or with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5 mg in patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension... CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that delapril alone or combined with manidipine is well tolerated and as effective as enalapril alone or combined with HCTZ in lowering blood pressure in patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension.
Comparison of the antihypertensive effects of the fixed dose combination enalapril 10 mg/nitrendipine 20 mg vs losartan 50 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg, assessed by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, in essential hypertensive patients. [2004.03]Fixed combinations of calcium channel blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors represent an alternative to diuretic-based combination therapy. The aim of the present study was to compare the antihypertensive efficacy of the combination enalapril 10 mg/nitrendipine 20 mg (E/N) vs losartan 50 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (L/H), assessed by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring...
Evaluation of the bioequivalence of two tablet formulations of enalapril/hydrochlorothiazide after single oral administration to healthy volunteers. [2004]The pharmacokinetic parameters of two oral formulations of 20/12.5 mg tablets of enalapril/hydrochlorothiazide (CAS 75847-73-3 and CAS 58-93-5, respectively; Penopril as test and another commercially available preparation as reference) were compared in an open-label randomized single oral dose two-period cross-over design to 24 healthy volunteers under fasting conditions...
Effects of eplerenone, enalapril, and eplerenone/enalapril in patients with essential hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy: the 4E-left ventricular hypertrophy study. [2003.10.14]CONCLUSIONS: Eplerenone was as effective as enalapril in LVH regression and blood pressure control. The combination of eplerenone and enalapril was more effective in reducing LV mass and systolic blood pressure than eplerenone alone.
Efficacy of Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Versus Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide in Mild to Moderate Hypertension [Recruiting]
The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide 300/25mg
against valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide 160/25mg in reducing mean systolic blood pressure (SBP)
as measured by home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) after 24 weeks compared with baseline.
The secondary objectives are:
- To compare the percentage of patients with normal blood pressure as measured by HBPM and
at the doctor's office at weeks 16 and 24
- To compare the differences in mean Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), mean morning and
evening SBP and DBP evaluated by HBPM at weeks 16 and 24
- To compare the difference in mean SBP evaluated by HBPM at week 16
- To compare the differences in mean SBP and DBP evaluated at the doctor's office at weeks
16 and 24
- To determine the incidence and severity of adverse events
Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide and Irbesartan in the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Hypertension [Completed]
Study Objectives :
- To demonstrate the reduction in office Blood Pressure following a 8-week regimen of
irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide using irbesartan as a reference.
- To demonstrate the reduction in office Blood Pressure after 4-week regimen of irbesartan
/ hydrochlorothiazide using irbesartan as a reference.
- To compare the response rate (defined as office Systolic Blood Pressure/Diastolic Blood
Pressure reduce more than 10mmHg from Week 0) of patients after 4-week and 8-week
regimen of irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide versus irbesartan.
- To compare the proportion of patients requiring titration after 4-week regimen of
irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide versus irbesartan
- To ascertain the safety and tolerability of irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide versus
irbesartan when administered once daily
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Forced-Titration, Phase IV Study Comparing Telmisartan 80 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg [Micardis HCT] Versus Valsartan 160 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg [Diovan HCT] Taken Orally for Eight Weeks in Patients With Stage 1 and Stage 2 Hypertension. [Completed]
A Comparison of Telmisartan + Hydrochlorothiazide With Amlodipine + Hydrochlorothiazide in the Control of Blood Pressure in Older Patients With Predominantly Systolic Hypertension. (ATHOS Study) [Completed]
The primary objective of this clinical trial was to show that the combination of telmisartan
80 mg + hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12. 5 mg was not inferior to and was possibly superior to
amlodipine 10 mg + HCTZ 12. 5 mg in reducing the systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the last six
hours of the 24-hour dose period [as measured by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
( ABPM)] in elderly patients with predominantly systolic hypertension. The primary endpoint
was the change from baseline in SBP in the last six hours of the 24-hour dose period (as
measured by 24-hour ABPM) at the end-of-study visit.
Efficacy and Safety of Valsartan, Hydrochlorothiazide and Amlodipine Combination Therapy in Hypertension [Completed]
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination valsartan with
hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine in hypertensive patients previously treated with valsartan
with hydrochlorothiazide and remaining uncontrolled. A naturalistic approach will be taken
comparing two different possible ways to achieve the higher dosage of the triple combination,
i. e. 160 mg of valsartan and 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide with amlodipine 10 mg.

Dogs, people and zombies, oh my!
PHOENIX -- About a dozen downtown Phoenix parking spaces near First Avenue and Washington were taken over by people, puppies and zombies on this Worldwide PARK(ing) Day to show the spots can be more than just quarter-consuming pavement.
Stacey Champion organized the event, which ran from 7-10 a.m.
Champion says the event is pro-people and not anti-car.
"We're renting the public space," she explained. We've turned the spaces into parks. We have beanbag toss, chess, a zombie park and a poetry park."
Robert Chacon with We-Cycle-USA has a shop at First Avenue and Lincoln and refurbishes used bikes for kids and the homeless.
"It's about showing that the parking space could be used for better purposes like bike parking or a park," Chacon said. "One little space can do more than park a car."

WHAT a truly bizzare review. after decades of reading restaurant reviews in all sorts of publications, this is a very odd one. Pamala, Pamala Pamala, what are we going to do with you?
So you maintain that is place, although not perticulary good is a important addition to the neighborhood.
Yes i am sure the tourist people who have made this area a "destination" will be so happy to eat undercooked, and "unweiding globs" of food...tell your friends. Well there is nothing else in snug harbor so a bad pizzia place is a welcome treat. The food centers on Smith Street in cobble hill, and other parts of Brooklyn grew because of inventive, creative, and desination restaurants not of "low price point"
I lived in New Brighton for almost twenty years,I very much like the Neighborhood. The charm, diversity, and pleasure of the area will not be helped by this place..I have not been there and only judge the place by your rather lack luster review, but don't you should really judge what is a "significant" business . No more then HR tugs did any good to the neighborhood , i am sure "blue " will bring nothing more then parking problems. Your dream of a new Staten Island restaurant row will not happen pamala..sorry.
such an easy problem to solve.
plain clothed cops riding buses along problem routes, arrests, thief of service, drag them to the station, strip search..do this for a few weeks, the word spread...problem solved.
it is always the last one over the bridge, that wants to burn it down.
according to CVS website, there are now 7 CVS stores within 7 min. of my home.
walgreen claims 2 sites, add the Supermarkets that have pharmacy dept, and one can only wonder how much is the mark up on prescripton drugs. oh the new one will be within 5 min of my home, so can sigh in relief in case i need a candy bar or shampoo in the middle of the night.
as a cop friend of mine once told me, when they stop another cop or firefighter driving drunk, "as long as there is no property damage, we just make sure they get home ok."
so why should they not drive drunk? good to see an arrest.
funny how a full time, oh so important, hard working man like sen. Santorium can manage to work full time for the people in the senate, and still find the time to work as a "consultant" and be paid over $800,000 a year. Maybe tabacco does not know how to manage his time.
no one thinks, 'thank you NYC for closing down a dirty , unsafe, danger to public health" , I have worked in too many restaurants i would not eat in. And blocking a inspection is good reason for closing a restaurant.
why did someone not drive down to port richmond, pick up a dozen day laborers, gotten the whole thing done in a weekend?
oh glad to see Dr. Popler is earning his half million salary a year. Somehow i think they could hire someone for 150K and get the same leadership
I SUPPOSE a few million will help the family grieving the loss.
you disallowed my posting?
i am so glad that the south shore folks have no realistic idea of the north shore, this way they just stay on the south shore spreading hate and lies amongst themselves.
what do you suppose is Dr. oz's speaking fee?
if i am correct, i believe our tax money has already been used to finance the sanatation dept. (can you say kickback).
i love the speed in which my garbage is picked up in the morning, the workers actually running from house to house.....is it because they have so much work to complete? noooo, so they finish qucik and can have four hours doing nothing...can someone say "no managment"

- Only a few Methyl-[11C]-l-methionine (MET) positron emission tomography (PET) studies have focused on children and young adults with brain neoplasm. Due to radiation exposure, long scan acquisition time, and the need for sedation in young children MET-PET studies should be restricted to this group of patients when a decision for further therapy is not possible from routine diagnostic procedures alone, e.g., structural imaging. We investigated the diagnostic accuracy of MET-PET for the differentiation between tumorous and non-tumorous lesions in this group of patients. Forty eight MET-PET scans from 39 patients aged from 2 to 21 years (mean 15 ± 5.0 years) were analyzed. The MET tumor-uptake relative to a corresponding control region was calculated. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was performed to determine the MET-uptake value that best distinguishes tumorous from non-tumorous brain lesions. A differentiation between tumorous (n = 39) and non-tumorous brain lesions (n = 9) was possible at a threshold of 1.48 of relative MET-uptake with a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 92%, respectively. A differentiation between high grade malignant lesions (mean MET-uptake = 2.00 ± 0.46) and low grade tumors (mean MET-uptake = 1.84 ± 0.31) was not possible. There was a significant difference in MET-uptake between the histologically homogeneous subgroups of astrocytoma WHO grade II and anaplastic astrocytoma WHO grade III (P = 0.02). MET-PET might be a useful tool to differentiate tumorous from non-tumorous lesions in children and young adults when a decision for further therapy is difficult or impossible from routine structural imaging procedures alone.

- Long term outcome of high-risk neuroblastoma patients after immunotherapy with antibody ch14.18 or oral metronomic chemotherapy (2011)
- Background: The treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma patients consists of multimodal induction therapy to achieve remission followed by consolidation therapy to prevent relapses. However, the type of consolidation therapy is still discussed controversial. We applied metronomic chemotherapy in the prospective NB90 trial and monoclonal anti-GD2-antibody (MAB) ch14.18 in the NB97 trial. Here, we present the long term outcome data of the patient cohort. Methods: A total of 334 stage 4 neuroblastoma patients one year or older were included. All patients successfully completed the induction therapy. In the NB90 trial, 99 patients received at least one cycle of the oral maintenance chemotherapy (NB90 MT, 12 alternating cycles of oral melphalan/etoposide and vincristine/cyclophosphamide). In the NB97 trial, 166 patients commenced the MAB ch14.18 consolidation therapy (six cycles over 12 months). Patients who received no maintenance therapy according to the NB90 protocol or by refusal in NB97 (n = 69) served as controls. Results: The median observation time was 11.11 years. The nine-year event-free survival rates were 41 ± 4%, 31 ± 5%, and 32 ± 6% for MAB ch14.18, NB90 MT, and no consolidation, respectively (p = 0.098). In contrast to earlier reports, MAB ch14.18 treatment improved the long-term outcome compared to no additional therapy (p = 0.038). The overall survival was better in the MAB ch14.18-treated group (9-y-OS 46 ± 4%) compared to NB90 MT (34 ± 5%, p = 0.026) and to no consolidation (35 ± 6%, p = 0.019). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed ch14.18 consolidation to improve outcome compared to no consolidation, however, no difference between NB90 MT and MAB ch14.18-treated patients was found. Conclusions: Follow-up analysis of the patient cohort indicated that immunotherapy with MAB ch14.18 may prevent late relapses. Finally, metronomic oral maintenance chemotherapy also appeared effective.
- An Integrated Architecture for Shallow and Deep Processing (2002)
- We present an architecture for the integration of shallow and deep NLP components which is aimed at flexible combination of different language technologies for a range of practical current and future applications. In particular, we describe the integration of a high-level HPSG parsing system with different high-performance shallow components, ranging from named entity recognition to chunk parsing and shallow clause recognition. The NLP components enrich a representation of natural language text with layers of new XML meta-information using a single shared data structure, called the text chart. We describe details of the integration methods, and show how information extraction and language checking applications for realworld German text benefit from a deep grammatical analysis.
- Neonatology/paediatrics - guidelines on parenteral nutrition, chapter 13 (2009)
- There are special challenges in implementing parenteral nutrition (PN) in paediatric patients, which arises from the wide range of patients, ranging from extremely premature infants up to teenagers weighing up to and over 100 kg, and their varying substrate requirements. Age and maturity-related changes of the metabolism and fluid and nutrient requirements must be taken into consideration along with the clinical situation during which PN is applied. The indication, the procedure as well as the intake of fluid and substrates are very different to that known in PN-practice in adult patients, e.g. the fluid, nutrient and energy needs of premature infants and newborns per kg body weight are markedly higher than of older paediatric and adult patients. Premature infants <35 weeks of pregnancy and most sick term infants usually require full or partial PN. In neonates the actual amount of PN administered must be calculated (not estimated). Enteral nutrition should be gradually introduced and should replace PN as quickly as possible in order to minimise any side-effects from exposure to PN. Inadequate substrate intake in early infancy can cause long-term detrimental effects in terms of metabolic programming of the risk of illness in later life. If energy and nutrient demands in children and adolescents cannot be met through enteral nutrition, partial or total PN should be considered within 7 days or less depending on the nutritional state and clinical conditions.
