|Assigned Interventions
|lower limb amputees
Device: Pro Active Dynamic Accommodating Socket
Socket with bladders that instantaneously adjusts to volume fluctuations in the residual limb
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to compare a pro-active dynamic socket to each user's everyday ischial containment socket in above-knee amputees, or transtibial socket in below-knee amputees. It is the goal for the pro-active dynamic socket to alleviate high pressure on the residual limb and improve socket fit and comfort. The pro-active dynamic socket contains bladders that can inflate and deflate throughout the gait cycle to appropriate levels of pressure to improve socket fit. These improvements will be confirmed by pressure measurements on the distal end of the residual limb, the ischium, and the bladders located around the socket walls.

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. (MarketWatch) -- Convincing a group of neighbors to agree on anything is rarely easy. But in a growing number of communities in the U.S. over the past year neighbors have proven fairly persuasive at influencing dozens of their peers to spend $25,000 or more on a rooftop solar system.
It started in Portola Valley, Calif., a sunny community 35 miles south of San Francisco. In December, 78 of the town's 1,700 homes decided to pool their purchasing power and call in a large order for residential solar systems.
California-based SolarCity offered the community a group discount on the rooftop and backyard photovoltaic systems and installed them. The company, which started out installing individual orders for homeowners, began filling bulk orders for neighborhoods in California in 2006 as a way to try to drive down the cost of solar systems.
"If an entire group comes together they get a discount," said Lyndon Rive, founder and chief executive officer of SolarCity. "With three or four homes you don't get economies of scale."
Plenty of money and effort is being spent on developing solar technology but the most neglected part of the renewable story is the installation piece of the puzzle, according to Rive. Increasing the volume of sales of solar systems will help solar-generated electricity reach price parity more quickly with the electricity generated from power plants that burn fossil fuels, the executive said.
Today, the company has community discount programs underway in seven California cities and has completed installations in another eight. The company says that by September it had sold more than 500 residential solar systems in 19 cities and towns.
By the end of this year, the company is slated to open new offices in Colorado and New Mexico and by the first quarter of 2008 SolarCity plans to begin offering community discounts in both of these states as well.
SolarCity's program is focused on retrofitting existing homes with solar panels. But so-called solar communities aren't new. U.S. home builders such as Pardee Homes, Pulte Homes and Shea Homes have been developing planned communities where residences feature solar rooftops for several years.
Convincing 40 neighbors to go green
The company's offer is simple: if a town can get a sufficient number of homeowners to sign up for rooftop or backyard solar systems they receive a 20% to 30% cut off the local market price of a home solar system. The company typically aims to sell roughly 175 kilowatts to each community. Since an average-size home in the U.S. can usually support at least a four-kilowatt solar system, 44 homes becomes the standard target. Commercial buildings and businesses can also be a part of the mix.
SolarCity set a goal of 175 kilowatts for Portola Valley residents. The community easily topped the goal, with the participating home systems accounting for 343 kilowatts. Additional installations in the community have added 55 kilowatts, bringing the town total to roughly 400 kilowatts of solar power.
Other communities have also surpassed the company's goal. More recently, 119 households in Mountain View, Calif. ordered solar systems totaling 367 kilowatts. Another 124 kilowatts were subsequently installed in the community, even though these homeowners did not receive the rebate. Today, 2% of the single-family residences in Mountain View have solar installations and SolarCity installed more than half.
But not all towns receive the discount offer. SolarCity's strategy has been to handpick towns after conducting extensive local research, educating and interviewing homeowners, inspecting homes to determine if they can be outfitted with a solar system, and evaluating homeowners' electricity bills. The process is rigorous and can take up to three months to complete with 200 site visits to 50 homes, Rive said.
Targeting big energy consumers
The cost of a typical five-kilowatt system translates into about $9 a watt, Rive said. SolarCity can shave off about $1.50 per watt by selling in bulk, which brings the cost down to $7.50 a watt, before state rebates and federal tax incentives.
Federal and state incentives are a key part of the discount program. After deducting state rebates and federal tax incentives -- which pay for about 25% of a residential solar system in California -- homeowners in California working with the discount program have paid around $24,000 on average for a system, Rive estimated.

May 2, 2011
By James Jay Carafano, Ph.D.
Mark the end of Osama bin Laden as a victory in the long war against terrorism, but as President Obama acknowledged in his address announcing the operation, the war is not over. The President and Congress should renew their resolve to finish the job, which will require continued commitment.
Now is the wrong time to take the foot off the pedal in the effort to crush the transnational terrorist threats aimed at the United States and its friends and allies. There is important work for Washington to do to ensure that the likes of al-Qaeda never threaten Americans with the likes of 9/11 again.
Step 1: Finish the Job in Afghanistan and Iraq
Having crushed al-Qaeda beachheads in both places, the U.S. should continue to robustly support both countries enabling them to have the capacity to both govern and protect themselves. The first act of al-Qaeda and the Taliban will be an effort to demonstrate that they are back in the game, and their most likely targets will be those whose destruction would damage American prestige.
Furthermore, strong U.S. engagement in Afghanistan is vital to continuing to press Pakistan to go after the Taliban and al-Qaeda leadership in its own backyard. An equivocal American commitment to Afghanistan would only further encourage the Pakistanis to try to manage these groups rather than eliminate them.
Step 2: Continue to Hold Terrorists Accountable
The U.S. should keep the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay open and develop effective long-term polices for detention and interrogation. According to reports, the end of bin Laden began in Guantanamo Bay with the lawful interrogation of detainees that provided crucial information. The detention facility at Guantanamo Bay is first rate, and detainees are well treated. Congress should deny funds to close the facility until it is no longer needed.
The President and Congress should enact appropriate legislation that includes defining the rights of unprivileged belligerents—including current detainees and future captures—and providing clear distinctions among unprivileged belligerents, POWs, and domestic criminals. Congress and the President should fully resource military commissions, and the Attorney General should send the best federal prosecutors to these commissions.
Step 3: Stay Alert on the Home Front
At least 38 terrorist plots aimed at the United States have been foiled since 9/11. Three plots were launched by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Other threats were homegrown. Homeland security remains a vitally important part of keeping the nation safe and requires the effective integration of federal, state, and local efforts, as well as the cooperation and support of the private sector, communities, and individual citizens. Tools like the PATRIOT Act have proven themselves vital in disrupting plots aimed at the United States.
Step 4: Stop Doing Stupid Security
Many post-9/11 initiatives and mandates have proven wasteful and unworkable. Topping the list was the color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System recently scrapped by the Department of Homeland Security. There are other dumb demands, including unrealistic demands for 100 percent physical inspection of ocean-going shipping containers, biometric exit checks on everyone leaving the country, and suspending expansion of the Visa Waiver Program. The U.S. needs homeland security that ensures prosperity and freedom as well as safety. Winning a long war requires programs that strengthen the nation's resiliency and liberty and weaken its enemies.
Step 5: Provide for the Common Defense
The U.S. military is the foundation of American power not just for winning the long war against terrorism but for protecting all of America's vital interests. There will be an impulse to believe that the action against bin Laden validates that covert operations are an "easy button," a cheap and simple answer to the most vexing national security problems. They are not. They are just one tool in the toolbox.
For example, while the covert operation against bin Laden was a remarkable achievement, it would not have been possible without the military operations in Afghanistan that captured the detainees and served as a base for intelligence-gathering and a base to launch the attack against bin Laden. All instruments of national power are needed. When used right, they reinforce each other. One is not a substitute for another.
Now is the wrong time to talk about gutting defense. Talk of retrenchment sends all the wrong signals to America's enemies and puts at risk the lives of American men and women in uniform who will have to conduct future operations. Eliminating waste is a worthy goal, but any funds achieved from efficiencies in defense operations should be reinvested in the military to offset the cost of modernizing and developing next-generation equipment.
The President and Congress should provide for defense with budgets that average $720 billion per year for each of the next five fiscal years—in addition to the funding needed for ongoing contingency operations. Congress should make the defense budget as efficient as possible and reinvest dollars gained from reforms in the military to offset the cost of modernizing and developing next-generation equipment.
Do Not Declare Victory Yet
The long war is not won. The United States and its friends and allies can win, but it requires continued courage and commitment like that demonstrated by American armed forces. What is needed now is for the President and Congress to act with wisdom and resolve and take the right next steps.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Treatment
The existing target post-HD weight will be progressively challenged by removing additional fluid in small increments.
Behavioral: Lower sodium intervention
Other: Progressive Challenge to Post Dialysis Weight
1. Lower sodium intervention:
The existing target post-HD weight will be progressively challenged by removing additional fluid in small increments, unless clinical evidence of volume depletion or hypotension precludes this challenge in the intervention arm. To avoid the occurrence of intradialytic hypotension, the ultrafiltration rate shall not exceed15 ml/kg/hour and post dialysis weight will not be reduced by more than 0.5 kg per dialysis session. In some patients, this may warrant prolongation of the treatment time to achieve lowering of target post dialysis weight, and this process of target weight reduction may need to continue up to and through the interim assessment phase (6-8 weeks).
No Intervention: Control
Usual care in addition to Blood pressure monitoring and and Hydration status monitoring
Detailed Description:
Fluid-weight management is critical for dialysis patients 1, 2. Previous clinical trials have not comprehensively addressed the application of a strategy combining both sodium restriction and a progressive, but gradual challenge of post dialysis target weight for BP and fluid-weight management in hemodialysis (HD). The investigators postulate that a protocolized, stepwise and gradual challenge of post-hemodialysis target weight when combined with diligent dietary sodium restriction <2000mg sodium/day, will lead to better hydration/volume status and BP control in HD patients. A randomized, two parallel arm trial (n=40) among HD patients is proposed, that compares this comprehensive strategy in one group versus 'usual' HD volume/hydration and BP management in the control group. The two primary outcomes are change in volume/hydration status (assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis-BIA) and change in BP (pre-dialysis in-center readings, home self-monitored readings as well as 44-hour interdialytic BP). Secondary outcomes include change in target post-dialysis weight, slope of on-line relative plasma volume monitoring (using Crit-line monitors), utilization and change, if any, in antihypertensive regimen, change in interdialytic weight gain, objectively assessed salt-appetite, thirst score, frequency of intradiaytic hypotension, cramps and duration of post-dialysis fatigue and recovery, time to achievement of dry weight and laboratory parameters (hemoglobin, albumin, brain natriuretic peptide-BNP, aldosterone and hsCRP). The trial will be 14-weeks in duration and will involve comprehensive assessment of study parameters at baseline, middle and end of the trial. It is anticipated that the trial will lead to the the development of a simple and practical approach for volume and BP control in HD patients that will subsequently need to be studied on a larger scale, i.e., a larger, multicenter study with hard endpoints of death and hospitalization.

Diablo Cody's first foray into the world of TV is set to debut in three weeks. But Showtime has it on their website for free HERE. The VIP password is "Tara." Early reports suggest that the girl that plays Kate is super hot, so I did a little research. And to be honest, I think she is good looking but HOT might be a little bit of a stretch. You decide. Pictures after the jump.
Kate is played by Brie Larson.
She has been in a bunch of stuff that I would have never seen because I am not now nor have I ever been a 13 year old girl.
For instance, I have never seen the film 13 Going on 30.
But whatever, she looks pretty hot here:
Junkies: You decide.
Here's the official show synopsis from Showtime:
Toni Collette stars as Tara Gregor, a wife and mother of two teens, who just happens to suffer from multiple personality disorder. Basically the family must find a way to deal and live with her multiple personalities. United States of Tara premieres on January 18th 2009.

Next Act Theatre offers solid primer on Marxism with 'Groucho'
Like the Marx Brothers' early vaudeville show, Next Act Theatre's"Groucho: A Life in Revue" is a "skule" act. It gently and congenially educates the audience about one of America's great comedians, Groucho Marx, whose remarkable career included Broadway, movie and TV hits built around his wisecracking persona.
After a brief opening sequence, this revue, written by Groucho's son Arthur and Robert Fisher, unfolds chronologically. It's sentimental in spots, but heck, you might be sentimental, too, if you were writing a show about your father and uncles. It's not warts and all, but it does acknowledge Groucho's regrets about three marriages that ended in divorce. »Read Full Article

UM Study: Childhood Obesity Linked To Health Habits, Not Heredity
January 31, 2011 7:47 AM
CBS Detroit (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSDetroit.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSDetroit.com/Health
ANN ARBOR (WWJ) – Are some children genetically tuned to be overweight, or is lifestyle to blame for childhood obesity?
Check-ups of 1,003 Michigan 6th graders showed obese children tend to have the same habits, such as eating school lunch and spending two hours or more watching TV or video games.
The University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center published the study as the country looks for new ways, including new legislation to improve school meals, to trim children's waistlines.

Recently, a visitor to TaxMama.com posed an interesting question: "I am 14 and about to open an online shop," the person wrote. "To receive wholesale price on inventory I need a tax ID and a business license. I plan on acquiring these soon. Will I have to pay taxes?"
The short answer is, Heck, yeah! If you make a profit of $400 or more.
But there's so much more to it. Let's explore how young entrepreneurs can get started, and the various tax issues they'll face.
Tax Issues
First things first: Can the child's income be reported on the parents' tax return? No.
This isn't a kiddie tax issue. Kiddie taxes relate only to the child's investment income, like interest and dividends. When children have wages or business income (earned income), they must file their own tax returns. The bad news is that they lose the deduction for their own personal exemption. Their parents get that. The good news is that they'll pay tax on their earned income at their own tax rate — not at their parents' rate.
Kudos to this 14-year-old for knowing that an entrepreneur needs a business license and a tax identification number. There are many adults who don't learn that until they've been in business for a year or more.
Yes, children are subject to the same rules as adults. It's important to learn the fundamental licensing requirements for your business in your community. You can usually find that information by calling your town's City Clerk or the Secretary of State's office in your state. You must research the various local, state and federal taxes your business must collect or pay. Bankrate.com has a resource to help you look up information in each state.
The IRS can tell you about the federal taxes. A good place to start is with IRS Publication 334, the Tax Guide for Small Business. Pub 334 outlines things like recordkeeping requirements, hiring employees, reporting income and claiming deductions.
When does a business have to pay taxes? People are generally surprised to learn that when a business shows a profit of $400 or more, a tax return must be filed — even if the income is not subject to income tax. These profits are subject to self-employment taxes of 15.3%. This funds your Social Security and Medicare accounts.

A business started by a child or and teen will generally operate as a sole proprietorship initially. He or she will file business taxes using a Schedule C — or a Schedule F if it's a farm-related business. It may require learning about depreciation, cost of goods sold, travel and entertainment costs, and vehicle expenses (if the person is old enough to drive). Young entrepreneurs may have to learn about payroll taxes — and the difference between hiring employees vs. freelancers. They might even be able to hire their parents or siblings.
In short, younger business owners will need to learn the same things adult entrepreneurs must learn. Will it be on a smaller scale? Not necessarily. Some young people have built businesses so substantial that they have been able to support their entire families.
Inspiration and Ideas
Where do successful ideas come from? Some kids and young adults are driven to find innovative solutions to problems or obstructions they face in everyday life. Some, like surfer Hobie Alter, creator of the Hobie Cat, are passionate about a sport. Others, like Tom Kulzer of aWeber.com might build a business to recover after an adult has ripped them off. Still others seem to be simply driven, like James Malinchak, the noted college speaker and author, and Kevin Colleran, Facebook's first advertising executive, and currently a WSJ blogger. Read Colleran's article on seeking out mentors. Because of their passion and perseverance, every person highlighted here became a millionaire. Most at an early age.

A great article hit my inbox from the Mises Daily today. It is about individual sovereignty by Helio Beltrao.
The article at one point uses The Matrix as analogy... that some individuals resist the herd and take the red pill -- waking to the reality that government is myth and that most people are obliviously perpetuating their serfdom by feeding the government beast.
Anyhow, it is a great article. Enjoy!

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Mexican officials say American tourists are returning to Baja California in increasing numbers after being driven away by the drug war there.
Baja California's Tourism Department officials say foreigners made up more than 45 percent of all visitors, after dropping to a low of less than 25 percent when cartels unleashed unprecedented bloodshed.
State tourism officials say sport fishing licenses that are almost exclusively sought by Americans have increased more than 75 percent this year.
Baja California's former Tourism Secretary Juan Tintos says the biggest jump in foreign tourism came after the region's nouveau cuisine, called Baja Med, caught the attention of celebrity chefs like Anthony Bourdain and Rick Bayless.
The boost also comes as homicides plummeted from 1,528 in 2010 to 584 in 2012.

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
Since Peace Dollars had already started to accumulate in government vaults, the Denver Mint refrained from producing any coins in 1924, and the number of coins struck at San Francisco fell to 1.7 million pieces. Unlike the 1922-S, 1923-S, and 1926-S, the 1924-S did not emerge from storage at the San Francisco Mint in significant quantity, and only a few bags seem to have entered the numismatic market in the 1950s. Today, the '24-S remains an elusive issue, particularly at the Gem level of preservation.

Lucy Wang is a member of the Teen Creative Agency, a group that meets weekly at MCA Chicago to explore themes of critical interpretation, public speaking, and cultural participation.
As a teenager, I have ambivalent feelings about MOTHERS. On one hand, the work is reminiscent of my mother hovering over me, constantly watching and never missing a thing. On the other hand, I'm glad to have someone who's always here to take care of me. Either way this work pays a well-deserved tribute to our mothers and the all-encompassing role they played in our lives as children. On second thought, what if Martin is questioning our undying devotion to our mothers? What if he's asking us if we can over-praise (if that's even a word) or over-value our moms? What if he's making a statement on how we all focus on the mother and not the father? (Compare Mother's Day festivities to Father's Day ones.) Maybe I'm overthinking it now. Maybe he just wanted to make a nice spinning sculpture.

The New England Patriots continued to upgrade their receiving corps, but this time they sought help from other teams. They signed Brandon LaFell away from the Carolina Panthers.
According to NFL, LaFell's new contract is for three years and worth $11 million.
LaFell never posted impressive numbers in Carolina, but he has gained experience as a starter since being drafted by the Panthers in the third round of the 2010 draft. He posted career-highs in 2013 with 49 catches and 627 yards, with five touchdown receptions, as reported by ESPN.
LaFell has caught at least 600 yards in his past three seasons, and he is expected to get close to 1,000 and be a red-zone threat with Tom Brady as his quarterback.
This marks the second wide receiver free-agent signing for the Patriots on Saturday. Julian Edelman was brought back by the Patriots before they signed LaFell. The Panthers have now lost three receivers in LaFell, Steve Smith and Ted Ginn. Smith and Ginn left for the Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals respectively.

Sheriffs deputies train for dangerous scenarios using virtual system
Westmoreland County Deputy Sheriff Irvin Shipley cautiously walked down a school hallway, brandishing his gun and calling out to the gunman who left numerous bullet-riddled bodies in his path.
In a blink of an eye, a boy wearing a yellow T-shirt ran out into the hallway with a gun raised. Shipley fired once and took out the target.
That imaginary incident is one of 300 training scenarios that Shipley and deputies are practicing this week using a computer simulator purchased by the sheriff's office and installed on Monday.
"It gives us real-life scenarios to train in without the expense of ammunition or the risk of injury," Sheriff Jonathan Held said.
His department purchased the Laser Shot system using a $17,000 grant. The computerized system gives deputies a real service revolver that is fitted with a laser to simulate gunfire.
Deputies react to what they see and hear on a large movie screen on which actors depict dangerous scenarios such as school shootings, courthouse incidents involving visitors and defendants with guns, domestic abuse calls and even car chases that end in gunfire.
Meanwhile, a trainer sits at the computer and adjusts the scenario based on a deputy's verbal commands.
Sgt. Jesse Salandro, who is acting as the trainer for the exercises, said in real life deputies have not had to draw their weapons in years, but the training reinforces the proper way to handle situations.
"The potential is always there for anything to happen," Salandro said. "You don't want it to be, in real life, the first time you are in a situation that happens, and then not know what will occur."
Held said each of the county's 73 deputies will complete the computerized training, which this week was set up temporarily in the courthouse basement.
The training program will be made available to police departments throughout Westmoreland County, Held said.
Deputies said the practice is invaluable.
Deputy Dave Endlich practiced handling incidents that could occur at the courthouse. He watched two men approach a metal detector. As an on-screen officer was distracted by one man, a second man walked around the security point, and pointed a gun.
Endlich calmly fired two shots, hitting the attacker once in the chest.
"You see the same scenario you would see as a policeman. You can talk people down, too. It's not just shooting," Endlich said.

Aaron Kahlow | June 12, 2014 | Comments
A new study finds that many large advertising and creative agencies are missing the mark when it comes to digital talent.
With a glass of champagne in hand on the eve of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the industry begins to celebrate its amazing creative talents along the Croisette. Yet, there is a bit of hangover already sinking in amongst executives coming in from all over the globe.
How do we translate this talent into amazing digital programs for our clients? It's the slightly growing headache that has been accelerating toward a migraine each precipitous year.
With the latest release of the Online Marketing Institute's Digital Talent Gap Agency Study noting that 93 percent of agency executives acknowledge major digital knowledge gaps and 78 percent of agency clients are concerned that their agency doesn't have what it takes on the digital front, we all have some true introspective assessments to do. And decisions to make...now.
And it's coming down to this. Sip the bloody mary of a cool YouTube video or mimosa of a great Facebook Page design to make you and your client feel a bit better, but at your own risk. The hangover just gets delayed and worse. Soon, you'll have to bite the bullet and hydrate with good digital strategies, sweat it out with great digital talent, and get on the wagon by instituting digital education programs that are pervasive and sustain a continuous culture of learning and digital innovation.
Or, simply just call it a day and keep the traditional creative booze flowing and let the street corner (or Wall Street) be the judge.
For those ready to sweat, hydrate, and hop on the true digital knowledge building wagon, here are three big learnings I found from the Agency Digital Talent Gap Study that we all can apply before the hangover kicks in tomorrow. Download the executive summary here.
It's critical to get a baseline and understand how your team compares to both industry averages and down to the individual level. Then, you can focus in on problem areas and also have a tool to benchmark success thereafter. There are a few "self assessments" out there, but to get a true understanding for knowledge, you'll have to test. Digital IQ would be an example of that.
Salaman Kahn, education pioneer, made famous the concept of "flipping the classroom" for substantially improved quality of education. And it works - universities use it, high schools are using it, and professional education (what we need for us agencies) is the perfect use case. Flipping the classroom means being able to watch the lecture video online, and on-demand on your own time. Being able to see the lecturer on the screen supplements the educational learning and gives opportunity for interactivity and Q&A. Here, the best of the best instructors can now teach everyone and the in-person trainers can be the facilitators. It scales, it improves quality, and it works. So think online or e-learning first.
Think easy, digestible, not straining on budget or the organization's, and time THEN think about building a global program. I've personally seen programs roll out to more than 10,000 where a three-month pilot and the tweaks, feedback, and simple learnings on how best to communicate to staff led to immeasurable gains on the engagement at initial global rollout and instilled a deep sense of confidence for the stakeholder to throw their full weight behind the program.
And of course, you'll have to build consensus with HR, learning and development, and digital head(s) to agree that one program can provide a way for everyone to learn. This will set a precedent at all levels of its importance and not just be a one-off fight by one department to get engagement.
And yes, I'll be on the Croisette this week with a glass of rosé in hand, as I too celebrate the breathtaking creativity our industry rightfully covets. So, come find me and let's toast to the bright sunrise of brining creativity and digital together in a meaningful way. Or tweet, Facebook, LinkedIn with me if not in the South of France.

Nationwide Clinical Trial for Life-Threatening Intestinal Condition Finds Two Very Different Surgical Approaches Lead to Same Results
Results of necrotizing enterocolitis study published in The New England Journal of Medicine
Pittsburgh, Pa. - May 25, 2006 -
A nationwide clinical trial involving researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh compared two radically different surgical procedures to treat an often fatal intestinal disorder in premature infants and found nearly identical results.
Results of the study, led by Yale University and conducted at 15 medical centers in the United States and Canada, are published in the May 25, 2006, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. It is the first multicenter randomized controlled trial in the nation to compare two surgical approaches in children.
The study involved 117 premature infants who experienced perforation of the intestine because of necrotizing entercolitis (NEC). This is a potentially life-threatening condition treated with two thoroughly different surgical procedures, one invasive and one much less so.
For 30 years, surgeons have debated which approach produces better results, according to the study authors, including David J. Hackam, MD, PhD, a pediatric surgeon at Children's and assistant professor of surgery, cell biology and physiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Barbara Gaines, MD, also a pediatric surgeon at Children's and assistant professor of surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
"Our study found that patient survival and other major outcomes were essentially the same for these two surgical approaches. This ends three decades of speculation and debate over which approach is more effective," Dr. Hackam said. "Now our efforts can be focused on studying which babies are at greatest risk for developing intestinal perforation due to NEC and then developing new therapies for these at-risk patients."
Dr. Hackam's lab at Children's studies the causes of NEC and seeks to find novel therapies for this devastating disease. NEC is a severe inflammatory disease of the intestine that affects as many as 10,000 premature infants in the United States each year. In extreme cases, NEC leads to perforation of the intestine, a condition that can be fatal if not treated with emergency surgery.
The first, more aggressive surgical procedure - laparotomy and bowel resection - involves a large abdominal incision and removal of all affected intestine. Surgeons then create a stoma, bringing the end of the intestine through a hole in the stomach to drain into a bag. The second procedure - peritoneal drainage - involves making a quarter-inch incision in the lower abdomen and placing a small bag, allowing stool and pus to drain from the abdomen without removal of any intestine.

پھر یہ چشمہ اتارو اور دوسرا چشمہ لگاؤ کہ کیا یہ تحریر آپ کے ممکنہ قارئین (Target Audience) کی ذہنی سطح ،زبان ،تعلیم،کلچر،اخلاقیات وغیرہ کے مطابق ہے ؟پھر تیسرا چشمہ لگا ؤ کہ کیا اس کی زبان و بیان آسان ،عام فہم،سادہ و سلیس ہے؟پھر چوتھا چشمہ لگاکر ایک بار پھر اسے پڑھو کہ کیااس میں پروف ریڈنگ کی کوئی غلطی تو نہیں ہے گویا ہر بار اسے پڑھتے ہوئے بس صرف ایک بات پر فوکس رکھو ایسا کرو گے تو تمہاری ساری تحریریں ہر اعتبار سے بہتر ہوتی چلی جائیں گیں ۔
ویسے اس اصول کو ہم اپنے مختلف کاموں کے لیے بھی استعمال کر سکتے ہیں میرے اس نوجوان دوست کو تو بات سمجھ میں آگئی تھی اور آپ کو ؟

Limited knowledge of the journalist ?
Limit knowledge of the working journalist is another problems of Pakistani press. Journalist is the lowest-paid industrial worker. A journalist who has complete his master in journalism when joins the profession. A journalist have no much salary to improve his knowledge and collect more material for working either he leaves the profession or continues in this hopeless economic condition. It is why that a highly-education young man would like to join another profession in which he can enjoy the life economical as well as having good status.
A very interesting things in specialization for working in field but in Pakistani journalism they have no proper degree and relative education so in media field you find more doctors and engineer as well other non relative persons.
Best writer in world they are some qualities I share with you I hopeful you take these points in your practically ….
1.They don't miss home work.
2.Ability to focus his point.(keep topic in mind and reach at conclusion)
3.Sincerity with work and profession .
4.Struggle to further learning.
5.Don't miss law and ethics during work.
6.Communed on topic and good behave with guest.
These are main point every person have to keep in mind,these are major point every point have under further point which belong
common behave of other persons.
Social habits?
Social habits generally are behavior patterns in our immediate environment.in media field which effect human life because it's directive and in directive relative people the effect in daily day and night.
In Pakistan that the most of the people have trapped in different unhealthy social habits .One is that the people prefer to buy such useless things which make them prominent among the others whether it is harmful for them or not instead of buying knowledge which is fruitful for them and keep them aware whatever happier in the world .

Low purchasing
Low purchasing power plays another important role in limitation of circulation. The majority of the people in Pakistan has a low standard of living due to the lack of economical resource. They are hardly keeping there body and soul to gather. It is why they take no interest to spend their knowledge. They will prefer to get the knowledge without spending any cost and this way of the people to improve their knowledge bring about economic problem for the newspaper.
And it is bass upon awareness of things because if people not value and not feel that it is necessary for us so how they agree to purchase it,i have one surprise about Karachi city when me hocker give me one day old news paper for ask about one writer so when I said many news paper you have expire every day he smile and said different paper demand is different he said to express one name of news paper his purchase only one day in week.
Remember Pakistan daily news reader 72% to 100% as well English newspaper reader 27% Urdu reader is 35% and more are regional language reader. Very difficult situation is more people property is to watch news ch anal and listen radio,but more educate know that how ch anal cast news and news paper it fact that the responsibility of news paper increase to ch anal.
Out of country in China according report that after twelve PM purchasing of newspaper in sail finished no one like to read any paper after pass twelve. So if limited news paper circulation how we have must to improve in Pakistan journalism .
Their dependence on Advertisements.
News paper have more resource which he depend his spending of paper and other employee main resource of revenue of the news paper proceeds from circulation and advertisement. While advertisement depend on the state of trade and industry in country .
Purpose of advertisement
Product publicity.
Increase purchasing of company product.
Slogan for propagate
Awareness about issues (education ,Health,etc)
As well more littles goal for proper period.
IN modern age in media field one particular department open for this business,i am not say against this department but in electronic media rating circle back dawn journalism secret profession we can break and make a low for this desire.
One telecommunication authority advertisement in these day on cable is start from these "Alif Allah Meem Muhmmad Eaen Ali kh jana" company show that it's market and publicity is reached at highest point,jazz customer in Pakistan is large but in this advertise he maintain Islamic way so the reason is unlike because it is not good to include precious name in this video so when we legislative to break these activity.

Now you can get more important information about media and role of media in the world particularly media role in Islamic countries, we know in modern age mostly person they like to join media but they have no specific way to join and how learn this field.
IT fact every one who is journalist in society because the main quality of citizen is to rise vice against wrong decision as a weaker person of develop country.
As well as you will know that how we are part of media,what is the different between national and international media,now new debt take a part in media is that media which belong Muslims community and media they are free hand to publish what they want include religion.
What is Media?
Media is the source of calumniate with people and transitive your massage to receiver through the different source .In general, "media" refers to various means of communication. For example, television, radio, and the newspaper are different types of media. The term can also be used as a collective noun for the press or news reporting agencies. In the computer world, "media" is also used as a collective noun, but refers to different types of data storage options.
Basic functions of Media
Explorers of journalism soon discover that mass media of communication have form one to three purpose .They may inform,disseminating news and miscellaneous non news material. They may influence,giving the public either a social or commercial massage .Finally they may entertain presenting features, fiction .humor,comics and similar matter .Unless these media perform at least one of these basic functions successfully,they are unlikely to be profitable business enterprises .
Problems of journalism in Pakistan press
Pakistan is backward in many field of life .journalism is one of the important aspect of the modern life in which Pakistan is fairly backward.
lliteracy or media study
Media literacy is the ability to sift through and analyze the messages that inform, entertain and sell to us every day. It's the ability to bring critical thinking skills to bear on all media— from music videos and Web environments to product placement in films and virtual displays on NHL hockey boards. It's about asking pertinent questions about what's there, and noticing what's not there. And it's the instinct to question what lies behind media productions— the motives, the money, the values and the ownership— and to be aware of how these factors influence content.
Media education encourages a probing approach to the world of media: Who is this message intended for? Who wants to reach this audience, and why? From whose perspective is this story told? Whose voices are heard, and whose are absent? What strategies does this message use to get my attention and make me feel included?
In our world of multi-tasking, commercialism, Globalization and interactivity, media education isn't about having the right answers—it's about asking the right questions. The result is lifelong empowerment of the learner and citizen.
"Media literacy" is the expected outcome from work in either media education or media study. The more you learn about or through the media, the more media literacy you have. Media literacy is the skill of experiencing, interpreting/analyzing and making media products.
Mr Neil Andersen said :media education is that "Media literacy" is a quality, like a tan, which can be achieved.
For example: "Yo! Check it out! I am media literate!"
"Media education" is an ongoing process, which can develop and evolve.
For example: "Every day, my media education is getting more powerful."
Karachi and our journalist
In Karachi violence when three political parties ruling and they are responsible these violence PPP is federal party they have government in Sindh,ANP is collation with government,MQM is political majority in city.
Chief minster of Sindh before media claim we take action against criminal and we want peace in city,it fact all parties claim peace but they have no political will to solve this problem.
Senior journalist Haroon-ur-Rasheed interviewing in private Chanel (Samma)he disclosed that out of the 24,000 missing NATO containers several were filled with weapons, being used in Karachi,he further say ANP have full support PPP to create violence against MQM. He claim I could prove before court if I fail I quit journalism.
He said police are main source to peace police system involve in politics so haw the take action against crimes. They should have free hand.
If they are self involve in this killing so it fact they are want to promote foreign agenda CM responsible of this situation.

corruption and we are by @mazhar85
Pakistan currently faced with a dire and painful period in its history with rampant corruption and terrorism destroying the very fabric of the community,politicians have snatched, robing nation wealth,bankrupted institutions.
In India Aana Hazare is coming on street and call to the people not for vote and other personal issues but when people listen that he is sincere to nation all youngest coming on one agenda is that we not accept corrupt leader the main purpose is the reason of people to unite and save public wealth.
Almost two people claim after holy month pass we start movement same in India,i ask both persons why they are wait "are our Muslim leader wait to save health in this month stuff price increase no re leaf for public in this month" .I am not criticize my brothers but I want to start now its mater not take time or nay planing only vice of truth.
Chair man Ansar Burni trust Mr Ansar human rights personalty very honest man he is the respectable person also said after this month we unite against corruption.

Ramadan lesson to scarify by Mazhar
Ramadan lesson to scarify
In every religion have particularly day's access to Allah in Islamic month Ramadan are taken scarify to the Muslims they believe upon it. Muslims respect this month due to same a closely guest in our home.
The most changing in this month is that,in holy Quran say"The parable of those who spend their substance in the way of Allah is that of a grain of corn:it growth seven ears,and each ear hath a hundred grains. God giveth manifold increase to whom He please th".
Our holy prophet Muhammad PBUH increase in his Ebadat in this month,and commend his followers to spend money in the way of Allah, holy book and action of holy prophet Muhammad PBUH force his believer to pay Zak-at.,if you not perform Zak at by spend your money and gold otherwise your money lawful in coming days. Holy prophet Muhammad Say's: "We used to sacrifice Atirah in pre-Islamic days during Rajab; so what do you command us?" He said: "Sacrifice for the sake of Allah in any month whatever; obey Allah, Most High, and feed (the people)." (Abu-Dawood : 2824)
Zak-at is a Arabic word which means to "clean" but in Islamic economic system which terms use to spend proper money,in proper time with particular shears as well as divided in mostly people not which you want. The obligation of Zak at according Islamic history it force in 2sec Hijry year when Muslims in Makha.
After these cottage in holy books(Quran) we think about Islamic economical system and philosophy of
Zak-at,Islamic view is that Zak-at is considered by Muslims to be an act of piety through which one expresses concern for the well-being of fellow Muslims, as well as preserving social harmony between the wealthy and the poor. Zak-at promotes a more equitable redistribution of wealth, and fosters a sense of solidarity amongst members of the Ummah.
Social responsibility in finance was stressed in Islamic sociology. The development of Islamic banks and Islamic economics was a side effect of this sociology: was rather severely restrained, no interest rate was allowed, and investors were not permitted to escape the consequences of any failed venture—all financing was equity financing (Musharaka). In not letting borrowers bear all the risk/cost of a failure, an extreme disparity of outcomes between "partners" is thus avoided. Ultimately this serves a social harmony purpose. Muslims also could not and cannot (in sharia ) finance any dealings in forbidden goods or activities, such as wine, pork, gambling, etc. Thus ethical investing is the only acceptable investing, and moral purchasing is encouraged.
So we are bound to perform duty if we quintet y are till balance which reach, it as proper top which able to spend 40% in your money share so you help those people they can't complete necessary things in this time If we compare Islamic finances system an other modern closely economically system we purpose to achieve Islamic economic system which have all community and others and different class right so to have rich people to spend confirm share in his balance.

Karachi/Pakistani economyby Mazhar
Karachi stakeholder
In the history of world every country have one city which called hub,financial support no political parties and gang active in this city,on the other side Karachi is economical hub of Pakistan trade and import,export area people coming hole counties to search employment but some violence is create by political parties in the past 1988 were some Langston parties they create by language base they are protect only one community.
In Karachi Mutahidh Qumi Movement(MQM) is major parties no doubt this party until government according different role so 100%they are responsible in this city,now till 3 month they are negotiate with PPP about commentary system to day they are agree to join government hand,when MQM leader want to peace why criminal appear in city.
After some time Islamic holy day Eid coming soon every citizen like to purchase shoes and cloth.led ease want shopping for children no possible in this situation
Question is that……
What is future of Pakistani economy and rupee in world market in this situation?
Pakisatn China business by Mazhar
Whenever we diminish equality of opportunity, it means that we are not using some of our most valuable assets – our people – in the most productive way possible. Many of the distortions that lead to inequality – such as those associated with monopoly power and preferential tax treatment for special interests – undermine the efficiency of the economy. This new inequality goes on to create new distortions, undermining efficiency even further.
Finally, perhaps the most powerful argument that the Chinese employed in shunning the MPT was that a modern economy requires "collective action". It means that not only should the government invest in infrastructure, education and technology, but also in institutions that can work independently without political-cum-social pressures and corruption to carry out consistent economic policies over a long haul. Whereas when it comes to Pakistan, trust these very elements of independence, transparency and consistency tend to be the principal weaknesses in our economic management today!
14 august Renewal and Action writen by Mazhar
14Th August "An Independence Day"
Renewal and Action
INDEPENDENCE DAY in the history of people as a energy power in wire, actually it means a day when we had got freedom from not only our brute rulers but freedom from want from fulfillment of right needs and from dishumilitation it means we have got our own identity and our own valves.
Every country has its own rituals and rules to follow, some nations celebrate it as a day of prayers, some nations spend this day as a day full of celebrations, and so on….But in our country "PAKISTAN" case is some what different we celebrate it as a day full of enjoyment, zeal, pleasure and satisfaction.
Same we prey for country to collective ,our solder presents Quid Mazar and celebrate person also gather as a one unite . On 14th august every one wears white and green dresses, mostly guys wear white shalwar or trousers and green shirt or kameez, and galls wears white shalwar kameez and green dopatas…(nice dressing). Little children wear colorful dresses and make tattoos on their faces and fore-heads.
Most commonly in every city or village of Pakistan after saying morning prayers.
of FAJJAR and making dua for the whole nation children and youngsters went to WAHGA-BORDER or to any stadium near their village or city to raise the flag of sweet PAKISTAN. Approximately at 9:Am in the morning people from far and near come to WAHGA-BORDER and stand still in respect to view the raising of flag. The flag being raised by some Army Colonel or any Bargedier, all of the rest stand speechless and motionless in the honour of "NATIONAL ANTHEM" After seeing this view people from far and near sit down on the stairs of WAHGA-BORDER and see some MILITARY PARADE made by army soldiers after that approximately at 11:am spending so much time at WAHGA-BORDER all of them salute the NATIONAL FLAG and went away to enjoy the freedom and their prosperity and gayness. Their were also many stalls of meals in that area people took much relish in eating all that, The stalls of fruit chat, berger, dahi-bare, goll-gappay that is also known as (pani-puri) and tikka' also much filled up with rush of people that we seldom find a way to step in to it. After..
In past year unfortunately Pakistan faced flood difficulties so our responsibly and care increased to support effected people and showing unity between different political distinction and other controversy matter was unit it was good lesson to all over world.
In the last I request to people of Pakistan we are living in this country but our action show that we are not beloved Pakistan ,second is that in different massage and text we critics Pakistan and Nation Pathan,Saradar it is attitude against Pakistan unity.

Vampires and werewolves were seen slugging it out this past Saturday, according to NewMoonMovie.org.
"Twilight" cast members including Peter Facinelli, Michael Welch, Edi Gathegi and Rachelle Lefevre joined "New Moon" newcomer werewolves Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon to participate in a baseball game — for a good cause.
The event was based on the sport of "vampire baseball," which is a unique twist on the all-American pastime from Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series.
Rachelle Lefevre, who plays vampire Victoria, threw out the first pitch and the event ended with Fourth of July fireworks.
The cast and crew from "Twilight" and "New Moon" teamed up to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon.

Ruinart Rosé, as with all Ruinart champagnes, is made with a high proportion of Chardonnay giving great finesse and elegance. Rose petal in colour it shows a subtle fruity nose and small red berries such as redcurrant and blackberry. Vigorous and rich with a well-balanced palate this is a fine, smooth, and supple wine with delicious notes of morello cherry.
