- How to Read a Study Record
- In some countries, such as South Africa, the pesticide DDT is an important chemical for control of malaria-carrying mosquitoes. However, there is little evidence about the effects that it might have on human health.
- DDT has been associated with miscarriage and fetal loss in areas with high levels of exposure, but more research is needed to determine what levels of exposure are associated with loss of pregnancies.
- To examine the relationship between pre-pregnancy levels of DDT in the blood and the loss of clinically recognized pregnancies.
- To conduct a pilot study to evaluate data collection procedures for future research.
- Women between 20 and 30 years of age who are not currently pregnant and who reside in villages in the Vhembe District in the northeastern part of South Africa.
Evaluation of eligibility:
- Short physical examination, with questionnaire about medical history, current living conditions, and daily life.
- Several blood samples will be taken for study and to test for anemia, elevated lead levels, malaria, syphilis, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
- Half of the women will come from villages that are currently being sprayed with DDT, and half will come from villages that are not being sprayed.
Evaluation before and during pregnancy for subjects who become pregnant:
- Blood and urine test, including urine pregnancy test.
- Questions about recent menstrual history and sexual activity.
- Questions about medical history, including treatment for malaria.
- Pregnancy follow-up study, including blood draws, will be conducted regardless of whether the pregnancy is carried to term.
- Researchers will assess and adjust study parameters as needed.

|Official Title:
|Study of DDT and Loss of Clinically Recognized Pregnancies in South Africa
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|April 2009
In this study, the primary goal is to examine the relationship between DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) levels and the odds of loss of clinically-recognized pregnancies amongst women in Limpopo, South Africa. The initial protocol (which will be referred to as Part 1) planned to enroll 2,400 non-pregnant women, draw blood for measurement of DDT exposure, and follow 1,200 pregnant participants to ascertain occurrence of miscarriage. An initial two-year pilot of 850 non-pregnant women was proposed to evaluate field procedures, recruitment strategies and the reproducibility of DDT levels. Of the 444 women enrolled in the first 10 months of the pilot of Part 1, only 27 have become pregnant. Although the field procedures have been well executed, the number of pregnancies has been low. Based upon the experience to date, the approach taken so far is unlikely to generate enough pregnancies to monitor the occurrence of miscarriages. Therefore, the revised protocol (referred to as Part 2) will modify enrollment criteria to include only pregnant women who are in the early stages of pregnancy, confirmed by rising human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) blood levels taken 1 week apart or pregnant women who have a pregnancy loss within 4 weeks of enrollment. Participants who were enrolled in Part 1 of the pilot, who are still not pregnant at implementation of Part 2 will be withdrawn from the study, while pregnant participants from Part 1 will continue to be followed. In Part 2, a total of 2,400 pregnant women will be enrolled. Only those who meet the follow-up criteria (n=1,200) will be followed to determine the outcome of pregnancy. The reproducibility study of DDT levels amongst a subset of 200 women will also be dropped and replaced with an analysis using specimens that were collected in Part 1.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|20 Years to 34 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Enrollment criteria and follow-up criteria will be in two stages. Women will have to meet eligibility criteria to be enrolled for the study. Then, only those participants who meet the follow-up criteria will continue to be followed in the study until the end of their pregnancy. Those participants that do not meet the follow-up criteria will be withdrawn from the follow-up portion of the study.
- Aged 20-34 years
- Plan to reside in the same (studied) village throughout participation in the study
- Live in a village currently being studied
- Have no previous pregnancy in the study
- Have a positive spot pregnancy urine (hCG) test
- Have two positive serum hCG tests at least one week apart, with the concentration of hCG in the second test being higher than that of the first, and who are still pregnant 4 weeks after the first blood test.
- The first serum hCG test is positive and reports a pregnancy loss within the first 4 weeks after the first blood test. An Inexscreen urine pregnancy test confirms that the participant is no longer pregnant at the second clinic visit (1 week after the first blood test) or at the third clinic visit (4 weeks after the first blood test).
1. Have two positive serum hCG tests at least one week apart, with the concentration of hCG in the second test being equal or lower than that of the first, and are still pregnant 4 weeks after the first blood test.

It is a bit of a paradox: one of Dragonetti's favourite pieces and also his showpiece, "The Famous Solo", originally for double bass and orchestra, is largely unknown today. This cannot be down to the virtuoso work itself, but is more likely due to the unclear source situation with its different versions. In this edition Tobias Glöckler presents Dragonetti's autograph arrangement for double bass and string quartet for the first time. For those who would like to study the orchestral version, there is also a piano reduction, based on a contemporary model. Using this edition, the "Famous Solo" can be performed as needed in the solo and orchestral tuning – piano scores and quartet parts in e minor and f sharp minor are also included.
Suggestet viewing on YouTube:
Tobias Glöckler and the Dresden String Quintet
Dragonettis "Famous solo", im Original für Kontrabass und Orchester, ist heute weithin unbekannt. Die Musik ist dabei immer noch so spritzig und originell wie am ersten Tag. Eher scheint es so, dass seit 150 Jahren keine vernünftige Ausgabe erschienen ist und das clevere Werk erst jetzt in sorgfältig erstellten Urtextausgaben erschienen ist.

This is how I did set up my iptables. It's easy and simple, but it suits my needs.
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP
What I'm not happy yet is about port 80. At the "stealth up" test, it is shown as closed. I would rather prefer it to be stealth. i know most people advocate that closed or stealth, is equally secure. I wouldn't argue that. It's just because, if there's no difference, then my preference is to have it shown stealth.
Now, I'm quite new to Linux and don't have a clue about getting that change done. I tried to search for a solution here in the forums, but got a 4 page results.... and also tried earlier to google it, with no success.
Any help would be much appreciated.

POTSDAM - The State University of New York at Potsdam will honor nearly 900 students as they earn undergraduate and graduate degrees during the colleges 179th Commencement ceremonies on May 18 and 19.
The 2013 Masters Commencement Ceremony will take place at 9:30 a.m. May 18 in the Helen M. Hosmer Concert Hall at SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music. About 140 graduate students are expected to cross the stage and receive their hood to earn their masters degrees at this ceremony.
Dr. Edward S. Marschilok 74, the retired supervisor of the New York State Department of Educations Curriculum, Instruction and Instructional Technology Team, will serve as the keynote speaker for the SUNY Potsdam Masters Commencement Ceremony. He will also be awarded an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree.
The 2013 Bachelors Commencement Ceremony will take place at 10:15 a.m. May 19 in the Academic Quad. About 750 bachelors students are expected to turn their tassels and earn undergraduate degrees that day.
Colonel Thomas H. Palmatier 75, leader and commander of the U.S. Army Band, Pershings Own, will address the bachelors graduates. He will also be presented with an Honorary Doctor of Music degree during the ceremony.
The college will hold its Bachelors Commencement Ceremony outside in the Academic Quad, rain or shine. Guests are asked to dress appropriately for the weather conditions and bring umbrellas or blankets if needed. There will be an option for guests who are uncomfortable with weather conditions to watch the ceremony on a large screen inside, in the Barrington Student Union Multi-Purpose Room.
There is an emergency weather plan for the bachelors ceremony in the case of extremely inclement conditions like lightning or freezing temperatures. In this case, there will be two ceremonies. At 10 a.m., there will be one ceremony for graduating majors in visual arts, music, theatre and dance in Hosmer Hall at Crane. All other majors will attend a ceremony at 11:30 a.m. in the Jerry Welsh Gymnasium in Maxcy Hall. Each graduate will receive five tickets for the emergency plan, and all other guests are welcome to view the ceremonies via live video in the Barrington MPR.
During the Commencement celebrations, the college will also recognize two recipients of its most prestigious awards. Deborah Diefendorf Hind 75, longtime president of the colleges Alumni Association, will be honored with the 2013 Roger B. Linden Distinguished Service Award. In addition, Sandra Maine 78, founder and president of the SunFeather Natural Soap Company, will receive the SUNY Potsdam Leadership Through Service Award at the bachelors ceremony.

Whether you're pulling all-nighters, studying for those last few finals before graduation, planning a much-needed, warm-weather vacation, or spending your free time at the gym getting your body in shape for summer, we understand that life can get a little hectic around this time of year. Thankfully, assembling noteworthy ensembles doesn't have to be another stressful thing on your to-do list, as we've put together a truly amazing installment of What Was She Wearing: Answers! filled with your favorite celebrity looks. And though we thoroughly enjoy each of these outfit-packed stories, we admit we're totally jazzed about this particular edition! From Olivia Palermo's lovely pleated skirt to Ashley Olsen's bold red suit, we've got inspirational ensembles galore, accompanied by tons of wonderful look-a-like products. So sit back, relax, and enjoy perusing today's fabulous quintet!
1. Beyonce
While you certainly fancy Beyonce's glamorous stage and red-carpet attire, lately your interest lies with her well-executed off-duty ensembles. For example, you were quite smitten with the casual outfit she wore arriving at Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris late last month. The songstress was spotted in an all-Balmain look, comprised of a printed tank, Black Checked Military Trousers ($2817), and red patent leather booties. However, the most asked-about pieces of Beyonce's ensemble were her fabulous accessories--specifically Jimmy Choo's Rosabel Bag ($4450, 866.JCHOO.US) in Natural Python and Super's Flat Top Wayfayer Sunglasses ($138)--which are perfect for spring. To mimic Beyonce's cool mix, we suggest starting with James Perse's Stripe Slub Shirttail Tank ($75) and Johann Earl's Check Tailored Pants ($86). Next, add a pop of color via Donald J. Pliner's Cleva Platform Sandals ($237) or Nina's Cirabel Sandals ($90), and then finish with Cole Haan's Perry Street Casey Hobo Bag ($264).
2. Ashley Olsen
Though we generally stick to a steady rotation of flirty frocks and swingy skirts for spring, we're also complete suckers for a stylish suit alternative a la Ashley Olsen. The tastemaker/designer was snapped leaving a New York hotel last month wearing an of-the-moment bright coral suit by The Row. You particularly loved how she cuffed her trousers and styled the menswear-inspired separates with a few unexpected pieces--including a Junya Watanabe striped shirt and Chanel sandals--for a casual-yet-chic daytime look. To recreate Olsen's savvy outfit, we recommend going one of two ways: pick up red pieces like the Marisa One-Button Blazer ($98) and Fit Linen Pants ($60) from Victoria's Secret or grab tonal separates, like Topshop's Coral Formal Capri Trousers ($76) teamed with ASOS' Oversized Blazer ($117). Once you have the base of your outfit sorted, be sure to pick up Saint James' Meridien II T-Shirt ($95) for a spot-on look that is sure to impress.
3. Zoe Kravitz
While there were loads of pitch-perfect gowns on the red carpet at last week's Met Gala, you spotted a slew of fabulous looks at the after-parties as well! Of course we weren't surprised to find the always-stylish Zoe Kravitz on your best-dressed list. The actress--be sure to check her out in X-Men: First Class, which hits theaters June 3rd--selected a saffron leather and khaki satin gown from Derek Lam's F/W 11 collection. And though her dress won't be available until September, you can achieve a similar look simply by styling Muubaa's Cropped Cami ($189) with either Bailey 44's Maxi Skirt ($107) or the Sorga Slub-Silk Maxi Skirt ($425) by Theyskens' Theory. Either pairing will result in an after-hours ensemble fit for any fancy dinner party or fashion event.
4. Zoe Saldana
Actress Zoe Saldana was photographed running errands in Los Angeles late last month wearing a classic, casual ensemble comprised of AG Adriano Goldschmied's The Boxy Muscle Tee ($58) in Army paired with the brand's Farrah Skinny Jeans ($210, 310.275.2621) in 6 Years. In addition to her must-have basics, you also enjoyed her Brian Atwood Claudette Studded Suede Sandals ($775) and Miu Miu Mais + Biscotto Saddle Bag ($1295). Thought most of her pieces are serious investments, you're in luck dear readers, because we've tracked down a handful of budget-friendly pieces that are sure to please as well. For example, River Island's Super Skinny Jeans ($72) would look just as cool worn with her exact t-shirt, plus we're quite fond of MICHAEL Michael Kors' Greenwich Small Leather Messenger Bag ($200) and Schutz's Studded Sandals ($250). Try each of these items separately this season or wear them all together for the perfect Saldana-inspired ensemble!
5. Olivia Palermo
We received a handful of inquiries regarding Olivia Palermo's latest on-the-go ensemble--and for good reason! The stylesetter looked effortlessly chic while out and about in New York last week, wearing a silky Mango button-down shirt with a light blue and gray pleated skirt from Topshop. (Sadly, both pieces are sold out.) To round out her on-trend outfit, Palermo accessorized with London Sole's Pirouette Flats ($165), a woven, multi-colored La Perla tote, and her favorite cat-eye Wunderkind sunglasses. To recreate her breezy look, try American Apparel's Chiffon Oversized Button-Up ($58) in Blush with Topshop's Peach Pleated Maxi Skirt ($90). Just don't forget to accessorize with the perfect summer tote; we like Anthropologie's Diamond-Knit Tote ($138) or Pieces' Tara Stripe Straw Shopper Bag ($57).--Jessica Baker

The girls of "Jersey Shore" were on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" last night, where host Andy Cohen (whose new haircut we're digging) asked them to define words one would find on an SAT exam (well, except the last one, but you'll have to watch the clip).
Deena Cortese faced off against Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi in a battle of the brains.
Seeing as how their vocabularies include "smushing" and "grundle," we didn't have high hopes. See how they fared, below:
Deena won ... after getting just one definition right. We do have to give her credit for knowing what "halitosis" meant. But how did Snooki did not know the definition of "flatulence"?
Still, we gotta ask:

I opted to use a blood orange in this recipe because it is visually stunning and is slightly less acidic than other oranges. Blood oranges are a winter fruit so depending on when you make this recipe, you may need to opt for the slightly less exotic Valencia or navel variety. When selecting oranges, look for ones that are heavy for their size and firm to the touch.
Line the Molds
Coat the bottoms and sides of six 6-ounce individual soufflé molds with butter.
Divide the sugar evenly among the molds, and then tilt and rotate the molds to coat the bottoms and sides fully and evenly. Refrigerate the molds while you prepare the soufflé base.
Prepare the Orange
Using a very sharp knife, carefully slice the orange into 1/4 inch slices.
Gently stir the oranges, sugar and water in a large saucepan to coat. Scrape the vanilla seeds from the bean into the pan.
Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely at room temperature. Once cool, chop the mixture into fine pieces. You will need about ½ cup of chopped orange for the base.
Bake the Soufflés
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Combine the flour and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk together by hand.
Place the egg yolks in a medium bowl and whisk by hand until blended.
Put the milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and add the flour mixture. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Remove from the heat. Whisk 2 tablespoons of the milk-flour mixture into the egg yolks to warm them slightly.
Carefully add the yolks to the remaining milk-flour mixture.
Place over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the base is the consistency of mayonnaise, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Transfer the base to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool for 30 minutes.
Put the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat on medium speed until they start to froth. Increase the speed to high and add the sugar. Beat until the whites start to lose their shine but still look wet. They hill hang in medium-stiff peaks when the whip is lifted from the bowl.
Fold about one-third of the whites into the base with a rubber spatula. Gently fold in the rest of the whites, chopped chocolate and orange filling just until no streaks remain.
Distribute the mixture evenly among the prepared molds, filling them level and smooth with the top. Put the molds on a sheet pan.
Bake on the middle shelf of the oven until the soufflés rise about 1 inch above the rim of the molds and have a crust on top, about 20 minutes. They will be wobbly.
Transfer them to serving plates and take them to the table immediately.
Just before serving, pierce the cap of each soufflé and spoon a tablespoon of Extra-Bitter Chocolate Sauce mixed with a touch of Grand Marnier into the center.
About 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
1 cup granulated cane sugar
1 medium blood orange, navel or Valencia may be substituted
3/4 cup granulated cane sugar
1 1/2 cup water
1 Tahitian vanilla bean, split horizontally
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/3 cup granulated cane sugar
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
4 extra-large egg, separated and at room temperature
2 tablespoons granulated cane sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped

Worldwide systematic observation of the climate system is a key prerequisite for advancing
scientific knowledge on climate change and advising informed policy making.
The Convention calls on Parties to promote and cooperate in systematic observation
of the climate system, including through support to existing international programmes and networks
(Articles 4.1(g) and 5).
Implementation is supported through cooperation with the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), World Meteorological Organization
(WMO) and other agencies. Further background information
Parties provide detailed technical reports on systematic observation via their National Communications and in line with the revised
UNFCCC reporting guidelines on global climate change observing systems (decision 11/CP.13).
Relevant events
At SBI 41 (Lima, December 2014), the compilation and synthesis report of the
sixth, and latest, Annex I national communications was presented and included information
on research and systematic opbservation (FCCC/SBI/2014/INF.20/Add.2).
Workshop by GCOS in collaboration with IPCC and UNFCCC, Feb 10-12 2015, Bonn, Germany. Enhancing
observations to support preparedness and adaptation in a changing climate – Learning from the
IPCC 5th Assessment Report.
Outlook to SBSTA 43
At COP 20, 2014, Lima, Parties re-emphasized the importance of systematic observation for the UNFCCC
process at large and the continued need to secure funding to meet the essential needs for national,
regional and global climate change observations on a long-term basis.

bestial wrath and lock and load are the game changers for the other 2 specs.
Interesting change for sure, I've always found hunters to have more buttons to press out of all of my characters off the pull.
Alth - Consequence
I'm not even a huge fan of RF anyways. Something that changed the rotation for it's duration would be cool. Like, "inner beast" reduces focus cost of all abilities by 60% for 12 seconds
Something interesting.
- - - Updated - - -
The effects of it's removal aren't happenstance, they're deliberate. All of them. There were basically 3 goals with Hunters:
1. Reduce CD stacking (this applies to all classes)
2. Further differentiate the specs
3. Reduce button bloat
Removing this one ability actually furthers all 3 of those goals. RF wasn't a button that anyone really thought much about. You either stacked it with other stuff, or used it on cooldown. And it didn't even do that much for you, especially if you weren't MM. Reason #1 alone put it on the chopping block. Because it was one of only 2 baseline dps cooldowns we had, it's removal (along with stampedes move) results in all remaining CD's being talents or spec specific (and by the way, ancient hysteria is being given to non-exotic pets, so you could call that "baseline" now anyway). That A) makes talent choice a little more interesting and B) helps differentiate the specs. BM now stands out as the "cooldown" spec, due to having both Bestial Wrath and Frenzy/Focus Fire. Of course other changes also happened to assist with #2. And finally, simply, it's removal freed up a keybind. Maybe not for everyone, but for a LOT of people.
So what are the downsides? Well SV and MM lost some burst ability, but only slightly, as there's still talents, trinkets, and pots for when burst is needed. And that's pretty much it. We didn't lose what I would call a signature ability, and damage is irrelevant at this point. The real reason most people are against changes like this is simply because it's a change. We don't generally like change until it's forced upon us and we see first hand that everything is still ok.

"This is my pet. There are many others like him, but this one is mine. He is my best friend. He is my life. I must master him as I master my life.
My pet, without me, is useless. Without my pet, I am useless."
As far as the movement thing goes, that's the deal with every class. Whether you have 100% mobility or 2% mobility, blizzard factors that into your class balance. More mobility isn't just free dps, it only exists because the class is weaker in standstill compared to classes that are weak on movement fights. Once again, there are a bunch of multi-target fights this tier and shadow is not doing terribly. It probably has a higher skill cap than some other classes, but that just leaves you more room for improvement. Same thing with mobility. The less mobility you have, the more blizzard compensates you in stand still, and the less mobility you have, the more skill you can apply to moving to achieve the most you can during mandatory movement, which is something a hunter can't do.

While I agree that RF was rather boring as a CD, it did allow for a moment of burst that lined up well with trinket procs, etc., especially in openers in PVE. With that gone, I would prefer a new, perhaps most interesting CD for each spec.

The North Country Childrens Clinic dodged a bullet Thursday, at least temporarily, when it was given a reprieve from closing, aided by an infusion of cash from Samaritan Medical Center.
After the clinic announced Tuesday that it would shut down operations today, clinic officials, the state Department of Health, Samaritan Medical Center and local elected officials met Thursday to hammer out a temporary solution to avoid cutting off health care services on which thousands of north country residents rely. For now, the state Health Department appointed Samaritan Medical Center as temporary operator of the clinic.
Samaritan also will provide a loan of up to $200,000 to ensure that clinic operations are sustained through the next month.
Its not going to clear the debt, but itll cover things we need to pay right now, said Daniel A. Wasneechak, executive director of the clinic.
The clinic has been struggling under $1.5 million in debt.
Those funds will cover payroll for the agencys 128 employees and money due to vendors, he said. Samaritan spokeswoman Krista A. Kittle said exact loan details, such as whether it will be no- or low-interest and when those funds will be released to the clinic, have yet to be determined.
This all happened very quickly. Weve had a short time frame to work it out, she said.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, and state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R- Heuvelton, applauded the plan. Both elected officials said they will continue to pay close attention to the situation. Although state and federal funds are drying up, Mrs. Russell said, the clinic soon may receive more revenue from higher reimbursement rates, a result of the clinics federal health center designation.
The clinic was given a new designation, and allowed to bill differently, she said. This will change an amount due to the clinic. This could be resolved within a few months.
Samaritan will serve as temporary operator for up to 180 days, the time frame in which Mrs. Russell said she hopes the higher reimbursement rates are approved by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. That would go a long way toward easing the clinics financial pressure.
The clinic is owed $275,000 in federal funding from a series of grants, and although Mr. Wasneechak anticipated those payments earlier this month, he said Thursday he hopes they are received soon.
Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, thanked Samaritan and the state Department of Health for their rapid response to reopen the North Country Childrens Clinic during this challenging time.
I will continue to follow this situation closely and remain available to assist the clinic as it navigates the federal bureaucracy during its return to solid financial ground, he said Thursday in a prepared statement.
According to a statement provided Thursday by the state Department of Health, the department, Samaritan and the clinic will work together to develop a long-term, sustainable solution that meets the needs of the community.
Mr. Wasneechak said the Childrens Clinic will rely on Samaritans expertise to help develop that sustainability plan for the clinic.
Meanwhile, Ms. Kittle said, when Samaritans board had contemplated a loan to the clinic, the idea of the hospitals recent workforce restructuring plan weighed heavily. That plan included the layoff of 23 staff members and the reassignment of 42 others. She said if the Childrens Clinic had shut down, the hospital would have anticipated those patients to be much more reliant on the emergency room.
Some people took to social media Thursday to voice their displeasure with Samaritans decision to help the Childrens Clinic, considering many Samaritan employees jobs were lost or shifted.
According to the clinics 2012 annual report, there were about 80,000 visits to clinic programs and services.
As of late Thursday, both South Jefferson Central School District Superintendent Jamie A. Moesel and Watertown City School District Superintendent Terry N. Fralick were not notified of the re-establishment of school-based health centers within those districts. Beginning today, however, clinic staff will provide outreach to its partners and patients affected by events that have unfolded this week. Appointments that were canceled are expected to be rescheduled, Mr. Wasneechak said.
Some services, such as the federal Women, Infants and Children supplemental feeding program in St. Lawrence County, were suspended Thursday and records were transferred to the clinics 238 Arsenal St. location, but those will be transferred back to St. Lawrence County.
Although the North Country Prenatal/Perinatal Council board of directors had offered Thursday to oversee the WIC program temporarily, for Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, Mr. Wasneechak said the program will remain with the Childrens Clinic for now.
For the immediate future, its business as usual, he said.

Lamivudine for Chronic Hepatitis B
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Chronic hepatitis B is a disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis B virus. It affects nearly 1 million Americans. Approximately 25% of patients with chronic hepatitis B will develop liver cirrhosis and 5% of patients will develop liver cancer.
Presently, two medications have been shown effective in the treatment of hepatitis B: lamivudine and alpha interferon. Alpha interferon (an antiviral drug that acts through the immune system) is given by injection once daily or three times a week for four to six months. Lamivudine (also known as 3-thiacytidine: 3TC) is an antiviral medication given as a pill once a day for twelve months. These treatments have been known to provide long-term improvement in one third of patients receiving them.
In previous research, the drug lamivudine was shown to stop the growth of the hepatitis B virus and to lead marked decreases in the levels of hepatitis B virus and to improvements in the disease in 50 to 70% of patients. However, once lamivudine therapy was discontinued the virus returned to levels noted before the therapy began. In those studies lamivudine was given for 3 to 12 months then discontinued. This study will investigate the safety and effectiveness of long-term therapy with lamivudine.
This study will select 60 patients diagnosed with hepatitis B. After a thorough medical examination and liver biopsy, subjects will be given lamivudine. The drug will be taken by mouth in tablet form (100 mg) once a day for up to 5 years. Subjects will undergo regular check-ups and after 1 year of therapy be admitted to the Clinical Center for another medical examination and liver biopsy to assess progress. Patients who have benefitted from the therapy will continue taking the medication for up to 5 years. A third liver biopsy will be done during the last year of treatment. The effectiveness of lamivudine will be determined by whether levels of hepatitis B virus decrease in the blood, whether liver enzymes improve, and whether inflammation and scarring decreases in the liver biopsies.

Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Lamivudine for Chronic Hepatitis B
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 1995
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 2005
To assess the safety, antiviral activity and clinical benefit of lamivudine (3-thiacytidine: 3TC) in chronic hepatitis B, we will treat 60 patients with oral lamivudine in a dose of 100 mg daily for up to five years. Lamivudine is a nucleoside analogue which is used extensively in patients with HIV infection and is being studied in controlled trials in chronic hepatitis B. In this study, we will evaluate lamivudine in patients with four different forms of chronic hepatitis B: (A) Atypical serology (HBeAg negative), (B) extra-hepatic manifestations, (C) chronic delta hepatitis, (D) typical HBeAg- positive chronic hepatitis B. After evaluation and liver biopsy, patients will receive lamivudine, 100 mg orally once daily for 1 year, being monitored at regular intervals for symptoms of liver disease, side effects of lamivudine, serum biochemical and hematologic indices, and serologic markers of hepatitis B (and D) virus replication. At one year, patients will have a repeat medical evaluation and liver biopsy. If there is virologic, biochemical or histologic evidence of benefit, therapy will be continued thereafter for up to 5 years. Patients who develop viral resistance to lamivudine may be offered therapy with higher doses of lamivudine (300 mg per day). The activity of lamivudine will be assessed by changes in levels of HBV DNA or HDV RNA during treatment and its efficacy by loss of viral markers and improvements in aminotransferases and liver histology.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Age 18 years or above, male or female.
Known presence of HBsAg in serum for at least 6 months.
Liver biopsy histology showing chronic hepatitis with or without cirrhosis.

CANTON The battle between a St. Lawrence County seizure-dog trainer and the state attorney generals office continued with oral arguments Friday morning before state Supreme Court Justice David R. Demarest.
Jon C. Sabin, South Colton, faced off against Assistant Attorney General Deanna R. Nelson as they presented rival motions pertaining to the future of Mr. Sabins ability to market trained service dogs.
Judge Demarest barred Mr. Sabin temporarily from doing business in New York in January 2012 while allegations filed by the attorney generals office that he misled customers about the animals abilities are settled.
Mr. Sabin has filed a motion to dismiss the states case. The state opposed his motion and filed a cross motion seeking summary disposition. It was those motions that were before the judge Friday.
Mr. Sabin, representing himself, said he wants to see information on consumers who complained so he can raise a defense against their claims.
And then lets start banging heads, Ms. Nelson, he said.
The state accuses him of advertising dogs capable of picking up on clues before an epileptic seizure occurs, with reports of customers who say he lied about the dogs training and abilities.
The states motion alleges Mr. Sabin has entirely failed to address the merits of this action, namely the fact that he deceptively promoted dogs as highly trained service dogs, when in fact he undertook no steps to select appropriate dogs for service work, nor did he undertake any relevant training of these animals prior to selling them. And, Ms. Nelson told the court, Mr. Sabin has yet to produce any evidence to the contrary.
Mr. Sabin defended his practices and argued, as he has previously, that the evidence state officials seek about his training techniques would in effect force him to reveal protected trade secrets.
According to his motion, the dogs are trained to swipe a (vagus nerve stimulation) magnet, make emergency assistance phone calls and to assist with other issues regarding a disability and that no promotional efforts exaggerated any training operation.
Some of these parents are not the brightest on the planet, Mr. Sabin told the judge in reference to customers who may have had difficulty with the animals, saying that some may not understand the dogs are a piece of medical equipment, not a pet.
Mr. Sabin also argued that the state is aware that he has many satisfied clients but has never contacted any of those witnesses. I have affidavits from many customers, which the state knows, he said.
A ruling from the judge is expected within 60 days.

DonnaHawaiiHairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairLess Broken Hair And A Thicker, Longer TailBecause the diameter of the center "tube" is a little more than an inch, your pony tail will be that much longer than without this piece. My hair is pitifully thin, my pony tail is short and whimpy. After showering, I have to clean out the drain catch because there is usually a lot of hair that has broken off. Now that I am using the Perfect Pony, I lose only a few strands a day because the band no longer pulls out my hair. Because my hair is so thin, I added my own modification. I cut apart one of those "perfect bun" forms... it is made out of a spongy netting, dark brown. I don't have enough hair to make a bun so I was not using the form... The netting is in a strip when you pull it from the bun shape. I used this netting to wrap around the tubing once. Stuffing the ends in either end of the tubing will hold it all in place. Then, when I use it to make my pony tail, it grabs the hair better, and there's no embarrassing white flange showing from my pony tail. I use this every day because I love my hair off my face, nice and neat. I only wish they made it is different diameters. I can barely get my fingers around this diameter.2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

CathyWisconsinHairLight BrownFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairBye Bye Skinny PonyI have fine hair. My ponies have always been skinny, unattractive. I used to clip flowers and other adornments to hide my skrawny pony.
This product was a breeze to use! The positive results were instant! I'm amazed that something so simple could create such awesome results. The Perfect Pony wears easily and comfortably.
I give 4 stars because the results might just be too thick. I would love to see Conair create a Perfect Pony that is slightly smaller.3 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

John Richter spent 46 years at Los Alamos National Laboratory working on weapons design and he is now going to tell-all.During the Los Alamos Historical Society lecture series at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Fuller Lodge, Richter will spill the beans and give his unauthorized (by the Department of Energy) and unclassified reminiscence.Richter explained he will discuss his perspective of the history of nuclear weapons and about their present situation.He said he will be putting "60 years into 60 minutes." Basically, he will discuss how the nuclear program started out strong during World War II and the Cold War but at present, seems to be losing its steam.When Richter arrived in Los Alamos in 1958, there was a race to beat the Germans in developing the nuclear bomb. The nuclear race continued with a new opponent, the Soviet Union, during the Cold War.However, the fall of the Soviet Union and Cold War changed things. "Everybody lost interest in nuclear weapons," he said.For instance, the U.S. took down many types of nuclear weapons, but kept seven types in stockpiles.Although Richter believes the nuclear weapons have dwindled, it certainly has not stopped. "We're still spending a lot of money in the nuclear weapons program," he said.Richter's motivation for the lecture, he said, is to discuss what happened to this program that the U.S.

I have been far from Linux for a very long time (again) and now I have instaled Fedora 11 x86_64.
I use a dial-up connection to reach the net. I have installed my modem and also configured Kppp too.
Now my problem is :
Although I can connect to the ISP (using Kppp), still I am not able to load any pages and Firefox says "Server not found".
I tought, it might be the Firewall no letting me use the net, so I disabled it, but still nothing.
Does anyone have an idea what might be the cause?
P.S: I searched in google and also in the Forum, but it seems that I am the only one to use dial-up in Linux !!!
This will be over soon, and then I can ...
See what your default gateway is, see that your default route is using your PPP connection and see what your /etc/resolv.conf contains, try pinging your default gateway if success, try pinging something on the net like 126.96.36.199 if success it most probably is a DNS issue.
Then make changes to your /etc/resolv.conf by setting other nameservers like 22.214.171.124 and 18.104.22.168.

ADAMS The door-to-door campaigns, banners and open houses of the Adams Fire Department brought the result firefighters were looking for Tuesday night: they got the expansion of their fire hall they had sought for years.
We did everything we could to reach out to every person we could, and we think thats what made the difference, said Robert D. Simpson, former village department chief and a member of the departments building committee.
Mr. Simpson said the department treated the expansion vote as if it were running a political campaign, holding regular meetings to form strategy and pinpointing streets where more people lived when it did its outreach work.
He added that the department also put a few hundred dollars into ads and banners supporting the expansion.
The decision to borrow up to $1.2 million for the expansion drew the voters to the polls. The fire hall proposal drew 435 votes about 100 more than the number who voted on the uncontested mayors race.
We were just overwhelmed when we saw that, Mr. Simpson said.
Planning Board Chairman William J. Doe, who launched the opposition to the expansion, said he accepted the voters decision. Mr. Doe organized the petition to challenge the villages decision on the expansion, receiving 300 signatures about 100 more than needed to launch Tuesdays vote.
We did our job, they did their job, and they sold it, Mr. Doe said. Well get on with our lives.
The next step for the village will be taking the project out to bid, a process which will go into December.
Were moving forward, Mr. Simpson said. Weve got a lot of work to do now.

Franklin D. Roosevelt at Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it brings together three things I love—Food, Family and Friends. This year I will be in Santa Barbara celebrating with my dad who always throws a great party peopled with an eccentric group of his friends, many of whom I have known for most of my life. It is sure to be a fun gathering with lots of delicious food, interesting conversation and much laughter.
Looking through Eastman House's Thanksgiving-related photographs, I was delighted to find this print by Margaret Bourke-White. In 1938, while on assignment for Life Magazine, Bourke-White followed President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to the Warm Springs Foundation, a treatment center for people afflicted with polio. I thought it was a particularly fitting image to share this Thanksgiving since one of my dad's favorite stories involves the time he met FDR at Warm Springs. My dad grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan and the year he turned nine, while at summer camp, he contracted polio. He was lucky that doctors and nurses at the University of Michigan Medical Center, where he received care and where my grandparents both worked, were able to stop the disease from spreading, leaving only his left arm paralyzed.
Traditionally, FDR hosted an annual Thanksgiving dinner at Warm Springs but in 1940 they had to postpone the feast because World War II was heating up and Roosevelt was unable to attend. Ever dedicated to Warm Springs and the patients it served, FDR hosted the dinner in December of that year and my nine year old dad was present for the festivities. While he did not end up at the president's table, my dad remembers with awe and fondness how, after the dinner, with the aid of his ivory handled cane, FDR stood and shook the hand of every person leaving the dining room. I am personally thankful for the inspiration FDR gave to my dad, who was struggling to overcome a frightening experience with a debilitating disease, and I am sure that one of the toasts this year at our Thanksgiving table will include a nod of thanks to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
