Local college notebook: Latrobe graduate Krivoniak gets NEC honor
College Football Videos
Robert Morris freshman April Krivoniak (Greensburg/Latrobe High School), a thrower on the women's track team, was the Northeast Conference Field Athlete of the Week.
Krivoniak is the first Colonial to win a weekly field athlete award from the NEC since December 2009.
Krivoniak, who played in 28 matches for the RMU volleyball team this past fall, made a quick adjustment to the track with her effort at the Penn State Relays, a meet that featured teams from the Big Ten, the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Big 12.
Krivoniak's heave of 13.58 meters in the shot put not only qualified her for the ECAC Championships but also gave her the third-longest throw in RMU history and the best by a Colonial since 2005. She had a marked improvement of more than two meters from her first intercollegiate track outing in December.
Krivoniak's mark in the shot put is the best in the NEC this season. She also leads a group of four different Colonials that all rank among the top seven NEC performers in the shot put this season.
St. Vincent names tennis coach
St. Vincent announced that Jym Walters will be the new women's tennis coach.
Walters, who also serves as the women's lacrosse coach and previously served as the field hockey coach, replaces Dr. Christopher McMahon who resigned to focus more on his role as Associate Professor of Theology with the college, in both teaching and research.
Walters, a 1996 graduate of St. Vincent, was a four-year member of the tennis team. After graduating from St. Vincent, he earned his master's in higher education from Florida State University and served as a women's tennis intern at Florida A&M University and assistant tennis pro in Orlando, Fla.
He inherits a program that finished fourth at the 2013 Presidents' Athletic Conference championship after posting a co-PAC championship in 2012 along with the program's first NCAA Division III National Tournament appearance.
St. Vincent stays perfect
The St. Vincent men's basketball ran its record to 7-0 in the Presidents Athletic Conference by defeating Thomas More, 75-61, at home Saturday. The Bearcats are 14-2 overall.
Dillon Stith led the Bearcats with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Isaac Turner chipped in with 20 points and six assists, while Sean Kett had 19 points, including 17 in the second half.

I have asked this question at the Tesla store and can't get an definitive answer. Does the Model S offer automatic air recirculation when the air intake sensor picks up high concentration of air pollutants? I have owned several BMW's and their system recognises gases in the air from outside the cabin - carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and other pollutants in the surrounding atmosphere. If the concentrations are too high, the system automatically switches to recirculation for a time. The air in the cabin is processed and filtered by the climate control system. Air from outside is only reintroduced when the system detects that the level of pollutants has fallen. I love this system since I hate the smell of old diesel technology that can easily fill the cabin with noxious fumes.
I can't answer your question definitively but I think that it does.
I too have owned numerous BMWs with this feature so I know how it works there. In the last two days I have had to drive by a vacant lot where they are burning debris. Every time I have driven by it I get a very brief, faint smell of smoke then nothing. Therefore I believe the Tesla has detected the smoke and quickly switched to recirculating mode. It seems to me to be operating exactly as my BMWs did with regard to switching to recirculating mode.
Actually I've had the opposite experience. I read that it is supposed to sense pollutants. But driving through the Lincoln tunnel or behind big trucks in traffic I definitely get a smell
of fumes, very different from my BMW.
@stimeygee - I just hold my breath whenever I go thru the Holland Tunnel...
How has your ride been holding up in pothole central? I notice my air suspension smooth out most uneven surfaces so far.
If the S dont have this feature, they should asap add a SW GPS based function:
When entering tunnels (map based), the air resycling turns on.
TM, Please do so before you deliver the first 1000 cars in the small country of tunnels..!!!
I assume it does, since the exterior/recirculate options have an 'auto' mode. Possible that it is only auto from an A/C point of view, but would be weird if it didn't have a pollutant sensor.
Having just returned from a six hour round trip on I 95 I can tell you that enough truck exhaust to gag a maggot entered my cabin. If an auto-switch to recirculate exists, it needs a sensor update.
Slightly OT question:
In this heat has anyone noticed that the A/C starts to groan like a sink disposal on a high fan setting I.e. 8-10 when on for a half hour or more? This happens periodically and sounds like the fan motor is running away. Eventually it slows down but the increased vibration can actually be felt in the steering wheel. If anyone else has experienced it I'll start another thread, if not I'll have service take a look. Thanks
@Robert22 - I asked service about that the other day. They say it is "normal". Not very normal if you ask me.

Golden Bears fend off Antioch for 36-28 victory
By Caitlin Rickard
MT. JULIET — The Mt. Juliet Golden Bears kept rolling Friday as they defeated the Antioch Bears 36-28.
Mt. Juliet jumped on Antioch immediately in the first quarter, scoring first on a 1-yard run by quarterback Nolan Chowbay. The Golden Bears used the legs of Kyle Smith and Ben Cheatham to take them downfield before Chowbay ran the final yard.
Justin Dubay kicked the extra point.
Antioch then lost a fumble to turn the ball and momentum right back over to the Golden Bears.
A 22-yard pass from Chowbay to Ahmad Bradley followed by a Dubay kick kept Mt. Juliet on top 14-0 before the second quarter even began.
Antioch answered, driving downfield and scoring on the first play of the second quarter.
KaDarius Hannah ran the ball in from the 2-yard line to put Antioch on the board. Quarterback Raekwon Hosey polished the drive off by running the ball in for the two-point conversion to put the visiting Bears within six.
On the next possession Mt. Juliet answered.
Chowbay tossed the ball 18 yards to Smith to bring the momentum back to Mt. Juliet. The Golden Bears then faked the extra-point attempt and Chowbay completed a pass to Patrick Cartmell in the end zone to bring the score to 22-8.
Mt. Juliet again helped themselves, running the ball downfield behind Jauhar Jackson and finishing the drive on a 25-yard pass from Chowbay to Cartmell.
Dubay's kick put the Golden Bears up 29-8.
With only 33 seconds left in the half, a quick 69-yard pass from Hosey to Michael Johnson put the Bears within striking distance.
Moses Cornelius ran in the two-point conversion.
Mt. Juliet led at the half 29-16.
Antioch came out with a vengeance though in the third quarter, scoring on its first possession.
Kebrin Peterson took an outside option 46 yards for the score to put Antioch within seven.
Neither team scored again until the fourth quarter when Cornelius ran a touchdown in from two yards out.
Hosey followed the score by throwing an interception during the two-point conversion attempt, leaving the Bears behind Mt. Juliet 29-28.
Mt. Juliet smartly kept the ball on the ground, with runs by Kyle Mahler, Smith, Courtland Douglas and Chowbay.
An Antioch personal foul put Mt. Juliet in scoring range, with the ball on the 3-yard line and a little over two minutes remaining.
Mahler then drove into the end zone for the 36-28 final score.
Mt. Juliet will take a 2-0 record to Station Camp next Friday for a key District 9-AAA battle. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m.

What the hell is this?
The pages you are looking at now are a part of the blog of Roba Al-Assi (notice the nice round "o" in the first name, and that's ربى العاصي for those of you Arabic inclined). AndFarAway, started in 2004, was one of the first blogs to start in the Middle East, in a time before YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
Female. Just turned 30. Jordanian of Palestinian origin. Born in Amman. Bred and raised in the compounds of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Moved back to Jordan in 2003 to take up a degree in Fine Arts and Design at the University of Jordan. Currently making a living exploring, expanding, and enjoying the first love of her life, the World Wide Web. Spends her day as the Communication Manager of Bayt.com, the Middle East's #1 Job Site, helping people create their lifestyle of choice by finding their perfect job.
Mostly writes about life in Amman (read here) and contemporary Arab culture (read here). Sometimes writes for magazines about technology (the first and last love of her life).
About this blog
'And Far Away…' was started in 2004 as a place to save ideas that motivate, inspire, or touch the imagination of Roba. With time, an Arab blogging community emerged and as a result of interaction with other bloggers, the space became more personal. Unfortunately, blogging died with time and AndFarAway became one of the last few blogs standing in the region.
That's pretty much it really, but just in case you're curious to know more, here are some absolutely random bits about Roba:
Liberal. Feminist. Overachiever. Messy. Optimistic. Cynical. Slightly cocky. Major listening problems. Rather humorless. Tiny attention span. City person. Generally a very happy individual.
Believes self-expression is an essential part of her identity. Complete nerd but partial geek. Looks forward to meeting new people. Obsessive by nature. Places logic above all.
Art aficionado. Infatuated with design. Fascinated by the power of brands. Loves minimalism. Finds red irresistible. Considers her mother and her brothers to be her life. Thinks that all the problems in the world should be solved with glue.
Ardent reader. Obsessed with robots, robotics, and Isaac Asimov. Finds words magical. Delights in science fiction and fantasy. Wishes she was an elve. Thinks colors are enthralling. Spends too much time cruising around Amman. Finds joy in the smallness of her life, when compared to the vastness of the universe. Space geek.
Loves the internet. Admires Andy Warhol, Marcel DuChamp, and Arthur C Clarke. Willing to live on soda, ice cream, and kubeh nayyeh.
This blog is dedicated to the memory of Sami Assi, who really enjoyed reading AndFarAway. He passed away in January 2009, after a two-week struggle with cancer.

Keira Rocks Out
Nice to see that, unlike the aforementioned Jessica Biel, Keira Knightley isn't flashing an engagement ring so huge that it requires a wheelbarrow to haul around. Over the weekend, she stepped out in London (left) sporting a delicate sparkler from her newly minted rocker fiancé, James Righton.
The bauble apparently consists of a solitaire rock and an understated band.
And the actress, 27, seemed only too happy to show off both her jewelry and her future husband, whom she's been dating for about a year.
A casually dressed Keira cuddled and smiled with the Klaxons keyboardist as she positioned her all-important finger just so during a stroll on Sunday. See their PDA perambulating here.

BMW AG said it is "realigning" motorcycle business to include expanding its lineup and focusing more on vehicles that support what the company calls urban mobility and e-mobility.
The changes include an agreement to sell its Husqvarna unit, which specializes in high-performance off-road motorcycles, to Pierer Industrie AG, an Austrian company with links to the KTM motorcycle brand. The companies did not disclose the purchase price. The deal is subject to anti-trust approval.
Car and motorcycle maker BMW says it is working on an electric scooter design called the Concept e. The scooter is part of a plan at BMW to bring electric and hybrid drive systems to premium vehicles and promote more efficient forms of urban mobility.
The company says the bike is designed in part to convey the idea of clean-running efficiency through its appearance, which is a departure from scooters on the market today. Its shape is surprisingly uncluttered. The protruding rear-view mirrors that characterize motorcycles and scooters are missing from the concept, which replaces them with video cameras and screens.

After reaching level 90, I ran heroic after heroic obsessively in order to scrape the ilevel needed to enter the Raid Finder. After a few drops and the generosity of a guild leatherworker, I cheerfully queued as a tank for Vaults, and then went off to do dailies, figuring that the wait might be a little longer than normal given the popularity of new raid content, but it probably wouldn't be too bad.
30 minutes later, I shrugged and thought to myself, "Well, everybody's running LFR now."
52 minutes later, it occurred to me while yanking pink turnips out of the ground that I had been a little overoptimistic about wait times. Oh well. The farm wasn't going to tend itself.
An hour and 20 minutes later, I tabbed out of the game to check the forums, wondering if others were complaining about queue times, or if I'd just had a stroke of really bad luck.
Nope. Wait times for tanks through LFR, as a legion of enraged forum posters screamed, were through the roof at the beginning of the expansion. Right now, it seems like DPS players are getting the lion's share of agony. Rather than wait it out, many -- perhaps most -- tank players chose to exploit a loophole that allowed them to get a raid more quickly on a less easily-filled role.
The how and why of the current system
For anyone who might be new to WoW, queuing for the Raid Finder asks you to pick which roles you're willing to perform in a raid. Once an available raid has selected you for a particular role and you're ported to the instance, you're then given a chance at gear whenever you defeat a boss. Tanks are only eligible for tank loot: DPSers are only eligible for DPS loot: Healers are only eligible for healing loot. There's some overlap in drops between the three roles, but not to the extent that you could feasibly gear an offspec.
Blizzard settled on the current system after a huge number of complaints concerning loot distribution in the first version of LFR from patch 4.3. At that point, loot distribution was closer to that of a conventional raid, albeit with bonuses granted to players rolling on gear for their particular spec. However, it was pretty easy for players to get screwed out of drops by guild groups who joined LFR and then rolled on everything in order to hoard loot for themselves, or even by vigilantes who, fed up with what they saw as low performance or rudeness by other players, rolled on everything and then distributed whatever they got to whomever they saw as the most deserving.
The "exploit"
When Mists of Pandaria hit, the Raid Finder was a a predictably popular feature, but it wasn't one that was equally convenient for all players. While tanks have long enjoyed quick queue times for the 5-man Dungeon Finder, the Raid Finder was a different beast. Only two tanks are required for LFR's 25-man raids compared to 6 healers and 17 DPS players, and tanks often had very lengthy waits as a result.
The solution, as so many players pointed out, was to tell the system you weren't tanking. Sign up as a healer or DPS, get a raid much faster than you would otherwise, and do the fights while still specced as a tank. No matter how poorly you healed or DPSed, the system would give you loot based on your tank spec when the boss died.
Not a bad deal ... unless you cared about doing a really crappy job in LFR.
Or unless others in the raid were doing the same thing, which they probably were.
Beating the system at the cost of the raid
The problem with accepting one role while specced for another is you probably won't be doing it very well. To a certain extent, that's okay for LFR -- no one's under any illusion that it's supposed to be difficult content -- but it's definitely more of a problem for certain roles.
- Fake tanks: You'd have to be suicidal to try this. I have actually never seen a fake tank in LFR before (although I'm sure it's happened somewhere). Given the responsibility of the role and the gear requirements, I doubt it's an attractive option just to get a raid.
- Fake healers: Healers have traditionally had the shortest waiting period to get LFR raids, but players who aren't actually specced to be healers are probably going to get people killed. Even in full healing kit, you'll run OOM quickly, lack access to crucial skills, and simply heal much less, period. On tougher fights with higher raid damage, you may not be able to keep yourself alive, much less anyone else.
- Fake DPS: This is probably the most attractive of the three options. Low DPS is pretty routine in LFR even for players specced and geared for the role.
Not that it matters. Queue times for DPS players in patch 5.2 content aren't much better, if they're better at all. The Grumpy Elf had a recent post on this, and I think had an accurate point in that healing LFR might well be more stressful than healing normal content, and that this may account for the lack of healers in the queue.
So I put it to you, readers: Is gaming the LFR system unethical? Should it be considered cheating? Or is it only a bad thing if you're actively endangering the raid's ability to complete the encounter?

Doug Parker to let American Airlines employees decide whether to keep the new AA tail
Doug Parker put out a survey to employees whether they prefer the old tail design or the new one.
Here's the wording that employees see when they go to the survey:
"This survey contains a question about the past, present and future of the American Airlines livery. We appreciate your honest feedback. (Note: This isn't a 'vote' on the new livery … rather it is a way to get your thoughts before we make a decision on how we are going to paint the planes in the future.)
Alaska Airlines debuts first aircraft with new cabin upgrades
Alaska Airlines is starting to put in new seats that come with 110-volt and USB plugs.
Alaska Airlines is the only U.S. carrier to provide both 110-volt and USB power for tablets and smart phones at every seat on its equipped aircraft, which will include nearly three-quarters of its fleet. Access to the outlets is conveniently located in the seatback in front of each passenger and power is available at no additional charge.

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) - The White House says President Barack Obama has spoken to German Chancellor Angela Merkel about the situation in Ukraine.
White House spokesman Jay Carney says Obama spoke to Merkel from Air Force One as he flew back to Washington on Thursday. He characterized the call as a "check-in" between the leaders.
The call comes amid increasing concern in Europe that the Ukraine crisis could lead to a cut-off of Russian gas. Russian President Vladimir Putin has told European leaders that Ukraine's growing debts to Moscow can threaten supplies to Europe. A large portion of Europe's gas comes from Russia through Ukraine.
Germany is a key U.S. ally in NATO. Merkel has spoken to Putin during the conflict.
The White House says further details about the call will be released later.

This morning's pre-dawn commute home was one of those unexpected, rare, and unforgettable special gifts.
I was aware that I was riding by the light of a full moon, a blue moon at that. After all, I had been out doors working under it for most of the night and had stopped more than once while on the job to star gaze and drink in the beauty of the clear and quiet night.
As I was riding home however, my thoughts were of a much less romantic nature. I took a longer way home than usual and used the peacefull quiet time to let my mind mull over some family financial and health issues. It was while deep in thought and trying to resolve some of those matters in my mind that it appeared.
I stopped dead in my tracks in awe and dis-belief. There, from a part of a trail that I've traversed hundreds of times was the most beautiful sight my old eyes have ever seen. That moon I'd noticed repeatedly through out the night was setting large and orange over an arched stone bridge. The entire scene was being reflected in a small pond in the foreground. The background sky was a deep shade of very dark blue from the lightening effects of the impending sunrise behind me. This was truely the type of scene that would inspire a true artist to paint!
Well, I wasn't thinking about life decisions anymore. No sir, I was just drinking in my surroundings. I did try to capture an image but my camera did not have the low-light capacity needed to get a picture. I have a different camera with me tonight and I'm hoping to get a repeat performance on my ride home in the morning.
I did capture an image of the sun rising over an empty beach a few minutes later, and then even later I was fortunate enough to spy a heron fishing in the river. I was a bit less patient than the heron though as I ended up heading for home and to bed before he actually caught his breakfast.
It was one of those commutes that reminds one what is really important in life. Yesterday was a good day!

And of course touchscreen, wifi, bluetooth, irda, mmc card slot, vga screen, qwerty keyboard, all that jazz is what I have. But mine is a bit on the clunky side. They make them slimmer though.

BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) -- Clint Barmes went 2 for 2 with a two-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Atlanta Braves 9-2 on Sunday.
Non-roster invitee Brad Hawpe added a two-run single for the Pirates. James McDonald, trying to bounce back from a dreadful second half of the 2012 season, pitched two scoreless innings for Pittsburgh.
Jason Heyward hit a solo home run for the Braves. Julio Teheran struck out two in two innings but Atlanta fell to 0-3 in Grapefruit League play after the Pirates had their way with the Braves' relievers.
Barmes is trying to bounce back from a miserable season at the plate in which he hit just .229 and struggled at the bottom of Pittsburgh's lineup. He singled in his first at-bat and then lined a shot into the left-field stands off Jonny Venters.

The headline is glowing with goodwill. "Jobless and homeless, bloggers scores Elle job," it reads. The first paragraphs are heavy with the conscious potential: could this be the next ripped-from-the-headlines romantic comedy? "Six months ago, Brianna Karp found herself living in an old truck and camper she inherited after the suicide of a father she barely knew. On Monday, her life became a 21st century fairytale when she turned her blog about homelessness into a plum internship for the fashion bible Elle magazine."
It's great, really, that Brianna turned hard work, a talent for writing, plenty of Twittering and a lucky email to Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll into an internship. Carroll answered her letter in the mag and, wonder of wonders!, offered her the most "hideously humdrum internship in America," helping with her upcoming book, "transcribing interviews, and analyzing data from 1,800,000 pages (not a misprint) of a college sex survey I did on Facebook" for six hours a week.
It's not so great that she'll be paid $150 a month. Which according to my calculations is $5.77 per hour, almost a dollar and a half under federal minimum wage. Uh-oh. Umm, E. Jean, how exactly is this a fairy tale again? Oh yes, I remember, the folkloric oeuvre is packed with stories of magically lovely and good girls who are treated awfully by their wealthy, snooty, and generally unattractive elders. I'm not saying you're unattractive. But you're surely not hanging with a great literary archetype. And the suggestion that "At the end of the four months, if you don't have a job and an awesome place to live, I will become your intern" now has an echo of mwa-ha-ha to me.
If you're going to give a homeless girl an internship, at least make it enough so you're not violating federal wage laws. And please don't peddle your fairy tale unless your precious jewels and swirly skirts will last beyond the stroke of midnight.
Homeless bloggers scores 'fairy tale' job for Elle; I say 'scullery wages'

Hey yall, my assignment this week is to Implement a class named Course with Data members:
name and students (array of 30 Student representing students in the course)
and int size, which represents the current number of students in the course
I am supposed to read data from a filename, create respective students then add to the array student. Each line of this file will start with a String (no spaces between first name and last name) then followed by 4 decimal numbers for the scores. Then I am supposed to write all of the students in the array, with their scores to a file. This is my first time with writing to a file, and we are supposed to use exceptions.
Anybody have any ideas on this one? I just can't figure out how to use the getname and setname methods in Student, and Course to establish this. Thanks in advance.
Here is my code so far, It is not complete....
public class Student { private String name; private double[] grades; public Student(String name1, double[] g) { name=name1; grades = new double[4]; grades=g; } public String getName() { return name; } public void setGrade(int n, double s)//set the nth test score to s { grades[n]=s; } public double getGrade(int n)//return the score of the nth test { return grades[n]; } public String toString() { String info="\n"; info += "Students name is: " + name + "\n"; info += "Students grades are: "; for (int i = 0; i < grades.length; i++) { System.out.print(grades[i]); } info += "\n"; return info; } } /////next class import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class Course { private String name; private Student[] student; private int size; public Course() { student = new Student[30]; size = 0; } public void setName(String n) { name=n; } public String getName() { return name; } public String fromFile(String filename) { String line, name1, file = "students.dat"; StringTokenizer tokenizer; int count = 0; //Student st = new Student(name1); try { FileReader fr = new FileReader (file); BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader (fr); line = inFile.readLine(); while (line != null) { tokenizer = new StringTokenizer (line); name1 = tokenizer.nextToken(); try { student[count++] = new Student (name1); } catch (NumberFormatException exception) { System.out.println ("Error in input. Line ignored:"); System.out.println (line); } line = inFile.readLine(); } inFile.close(); for (int scan = 0; scan < count; scan++) System.out.println (student[scan]); } catch (FileNotFoundException exception) { System.out.println ("The file " + file + " was not found."); } catch (IOException exception) { System.out.println (exception); } return file; } }

Ok, I got it to read from the file, but I cant seem to input the grades.
I added the code:
g[count] = Double.parseDouble(tokenizer.nextToken()); student[count++] = new Student(name1,g[count]);
but now, I am getting the error that "Course.java": Error #: 300 : constructor Student(
, double) not found in class exercise7.Student
When it is. It says double and I know that I am supposed to pass an array into the Student constructor.
Any ideas would be appreciated
again my goal here is just to read the file of 30 students and add their grades into the array as well and print out the info and then dump that info to another file. I haven't started the last part yet, but nobody has posted on this thread so Im still chugging along.

hi steve,
as u know the format of the student input file u 've which is,
u can do follwing in the while (line != null )...
//1. frist token is student name,
String tempName = stk.nextToken();
//2. create empty array of double that can hold 4 grades
double[] grades = new double[4];
//3. read each grade and parse for double format
grades[0] = Double.parseDouble(stk.nextToken());
grades[1] = Double.parseDouble(stk.nextToken());
grades[2] = Double.parseDouble(stk.nextToken());
grades[3] = Double.parseDouble(stk.nextToken());
// 4. create a student object and put in the array
students[count] = new Student(tempName, grades);
//5. increment student counter
// it is a good practice to put count++ outside the students[count] instead of writing students[count++]...makes debugging easier for us..

hi steve
as this is a simple assignment we dont have to consider OO things otherwise we would have some different design than the existing one..
we would have following objects,
1. Student - that represents a student
2. Course - that represents a course information
3. CourseCatalog - that represents a listing of courses for a particular semester (say fall, spring etc..) and will have listing of students enrolled in the course for that semester.
the reason of having the CourseCatalog is - in real world we have,
1. different semesters might be offering different courses,
2.across semesters we might have changed professors for the same coures (u know ..Prof A taking Course-1 in fall but in spring Prof B is taking the course...and all)
well, this is my 2cents about what i had first in mind...we dont have to worry about these things in simple assignments but certainly better to keep this in mind..

Thanks Maulin, that sure did help. But now my output is all messed up, here is an example of my first two students. Im just wondering why it prints out the grades and then the student name.
I'll have to check that out. I'm sure it has something to do with my toString method. Thanks again Maulin, you are the only one to help me on this project and I sincerely thank you for that.
Students name is: JohnSmith
Students grades are:
Students name is: HeideAdams
Students grades are:
Never mind, duh, the toString for loop didn't have my info string in it.
my bad.

|The use fibrinogen/thrombin-coated equine collagen patch in children requiring reoperations for congenital heart disease. A single center clinical experience.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 24755705 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of fibrinogen/thrombin-coated collagen patch (FTCCP)(TachoSil®) during intraoperative hemostasis in patients with congenital heart disease, who required a reoperation during childhood.
METHODS: We reviewed data on the intraoperative blood product requirements and hospital costs of children (age <16 years) who underwent a reoperation for treating their congenital heart disease between January 2009 and December 2011.
RESULTS: One-hundred and seventeen patients were included. Median age at surgery was 2.1 years (range 3 days-14.1 years). Main causes of intraoperative bleeding were: 1) reinforcement of suture lines (106 patients, 90.6%); 2) lung lesions (5 patients, 4.2%); 3) epicardial lesions (3 patients, 2.6%); and 4) chest wall lesions (3 patients, 2.6%). At logistic regression the amount of packed red blood cells (PRBC) requirement was significantly higher in patients with preoperative cyanosis (P=0.008, OR=3.85) and in patients who required the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (P=0.005, OR=21.19). The use of FTCCP (N.=90 patients) as first line treatment was significantly associated with a lower PRBC requirement (P=0.0003, OR=0.1) which in addition to the avoidance of other hemostatic/sealant agents, leads to lower hospital cost.
CONCLUSION: FTCCP is an effective hemostatic agent which can be safely used during the hemostasis of children requiring reoperations for their congenital heart malformations. When used as first line treatment, with specific indications, FTCCP limited the intraoperative PRBC requirement and the use of other hemostatic/sealant agents thus reducing hospital costs.

I wouldn't blame that on socialism. The Village Voice is a template for a lot of "alternative" newspapers across the country and, in fact, owns quite a few of them. All have similar "best of" competitions involving a mix of readers' polls and reviewer opinions. Restaurants thus "awarded" often use the citations in the advertisements they buy. So a proper interpretation would be, "Make sure there are enough categories so all your advertisers can win!" Which is just good business, really.ReplyDelete

I am currently working on a pair of pants from Vogue 2907. The pants fit great from the top of the waistband to the full hip area. The problem is that they are too big from the hip down. I would like to reduce the width from that point down, but when I tried to taper from that point downward, it left a wierd "bubble where I started the taper. And the result just emphasises my saddlebags.
Is there a way to alter the pattern so the waist and hip area fit the same, but the legs have less fullnes to them? I thought about taking them in down the length of the inseam, but that would alter the crotch curve.
Here is a picture of them on me. Thanks for any help or guidance.
-- Edited on 3/24/13 5:32 PM --
You can take a vertical tuck all the way down the back of the leg and then add back to the waist and side seams. Also, pin up your hems. Once you get them up off the floor, it might change the hang of the pants and you can get a better idea of where you need to alter
I'm with JTink--Pin up the hems first to see how the legs are going to hang. It looks to me like you need to remove about 1/2" from your pantlegs at the bottom, but to be sure, measure the circumference of the leg on a pair of pants you love (it will probably be about 11-14") and compare that with these. Divide by 4 (the number of seams) and make a mark out from your side seam and inner leg seams this amount. Then take a long ruler, such as a yard stick and lay that along the side seam, starting at where you made the mark, and tapering it to nothing just below your hip. Draw a chalkline. Repeat with the inside legs.

I agree with the above comments. Taper the seams, the "bubble" you mentioned may just be because you didn't taper them off gently, if you make a radical taper it could cause the seam to form a lump, from where you start it, hope that makes sense. I would also follow Mrs Fairchillds advice about taking in on all the seams.
Lisa, They look great so far and will only look better with the hem up and some fullness reduced. I have the exact same issue with pants! I hope you post another pic so we can all see the change. Nice work!

Great fit in the torso! These are fairly wide legged pants so that is part of the problem. I don't know how tall you are but this pattern has a distinct bell-bottom vibe and if you are shorter than 5'6" or so, that design element will hit you in a funny place. So you may need to remove width horizontally and vertically to achieve the 'look' you want. Good luck!
R-r-r-ripping my way to fitting success
Thanks, everyone, for your helpful suggestions. Here's what I am trying: I found a tutorial on the Collette Patterns blog for a "Thin Leg" adjustment. Basiscally, it is a pivot and slide method where you slash the pattern up each side of the leg pieces and overlap them to take them in. I think the overall result iwill be much like JTink's suggestion.
I also plan to take Clothingengineer's suggestion of taking in the back leg insem only.
I also agree that they were too long, which affected how they drape.
Thanks again for all the help. I will keep you posted with the progress!

They're taking new stock in former President George W. Bush.

I envy few people - maybe Nelson Mandela for his indomitable courage, maybe Philip Roth for his abundant talent, maybe even George Clooney for how much he seems to enjoy being George Clooney. I add, tentatively and for different reasons, George W. Bush. The man has the serene self-confidence of a divine-right monarch. Day or night, he seems to sleep well.
This is Bush's week. His presidential library on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas will be dedicated Thursday, with the current and all former presidents coming. Earlier this month, Bush's daughter Jenna presented him ...

The Romance Reader: 'The Escape'
"The Escape" by Mary Balogh; Dell (2014, $7.99 paperback)
There is nothing really bad about Mary Balogh's latest novel. But there is nothing really great about it either.
The story, due to be released next week, is well-written with strong characters and is the third full-length novel in her "The Survivors Club" series.
The series is a good one. This story is just OK.
The premise: Seven survivors of the Napoleonic Wars have formed a group, thanks to the machinations of the Duke of Stanbrook. Five men are former soldiers who returned with severe injuries, and one woman witnessed her husband's tortured death. Stanbrook's son was killed in the war.
The first two books occurred about the same time as "The Escape." Vincent, who was blinded in the war, married Sophie in "The Arrangement." "The Proposal" paired Lady Gwendoline Muir, from several of Balogh's past books (including "One Night for Love" and "A Summer to Remember") with Hugo, a man who suffered emotional trauma from the war.
These books offer scarred heroes, men who suffered tragedy and painful, life-changing injuries. These are admirable men, likeable heroes.
Ben's injuries cost him the full use of his legs.
Samantha is a survivor as well. She married young and was quickly disillusioned by her unfaithful husband. Her in-laws were judgmental puritans who never approved of her. She spent years caring for her husband, who was injured in the war. When he died, she spent months imprisoned by absurdly strict mourning rules dictated by her in-laws.
Samantha, as she told Ben, just wanted to live.
Circumstances forced her to flee to Wales, and Ben accompanied her to offer protection. Once they got there, she found a place where she could live and be happy. And Ben ended up finding his happiness.
One thing that made this a bit difficult to follow is how spread out the books in the series are: "The Proposal" was released in May 2012, and "The Arrangement" in August 2013. That may make it difficult for a smooth transition between the stories.
There was no conflict in the story. No bad guys threatening Ben and Samantha's happiness, no misunderstandings or lurking evil.
It made for an innocent, emotionless read. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But it's not really great either.
Overall rating: 3-plus of 5. "The Escape" manages to keep your interest without really being all that interesting. It's an easy going read, one that will not get a reader's pulse racing or engage emotions. Still, you will like Ben and Samantha enough that you'll become invested in seeing them achieve their happily-ever-after.
Hunk appeal: 10. There is nothing wrong with Ben, but he just never really does anything that wows you. He's quite admirable, however, having overcome severe war injuries to live more of a normal life than anyone thought possible. After a disastrous initial encounter with Samantha, he's a perfect gentleman for the rest of the book.
Steamy scene grade: XXXX. Well, maybe not always the perfect gentleman.
Happily-Ever-After: OK. Following the pattern of the rest of the book, the ending wasn't very climatic. In fact, it was rather annoyingly dull. Spoiler alert, but not much: At the end, Ben and Samantha separate for "months" because both need "alone time." Yuck. Then, when they reunite, it's all quite civil and proper. Yuck and yuck. But, they do reunite and embark on their happily-ever-after.
"The Suitor" by Mary Balogh (2013, paperback) 3-plus of 5. This novella ties into Balogh's "The Survivors Club" series. Julian is the Duke of Stanbrook's nephew and heir. He fell in love with Philippa years earlier, when Philippa's youth made it inappropriate. He bided his time, preparing for the day when he could properly court her. But as that day arrived, Philippa's parents had arranged a meeting for their daughter with Vincent ("The Arrangement"). She thwarts that to give Julian time to make his move. It all ties in rather well. This is a fun, quick story.

"Launched from South Texas in 1891, a rebellion against Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz spread quickly to both sides of the permeable U.S.-Mexico border. In this smart transnational study, Elliott Young locates the wellsprings of this nearly forgotten episode in the life of its remarkable leader, journalist Catarino Garza, and in the social, racial, and political inequities that characterized borderlands society."—David J. Weber, Director of the Clements Center for Southwest Studies at Southern Methodist University
"This is an original, provocative, and far-reaching book that breaks with the existing conceptualization of fields of study and national historiographical traditions. It not only makes a case for the importance of the Garza revolt itself but also uses the rebellion to reflect upon broad themes, including those of U.S.-Mexican relations; comparative colonialisms; the formation of borders; Latin American liberalism; and race, gender, and class. "—William French, author of A Peaceful and Working People: Manners, Morals, and Class Formation in Northern Mexico

TAMPA, Florida - A group of volunteer advocates from Moffitt Cancer Center are on their way to Tallahassee to push for increased funding for cancer research and medical education. It's a part of an event called Moffitt Day.
About 50 people loaded a bus from Moffitt Wednesday morning for the Capital, where they will be putting a human face on the disease by sharing personal stories of survival with lawmakers.
Mary Edith Thomas is one of those faces. She drove from the Melbourne area Wednesday to Tampa to get on the bus at 6 am. Thomas is a survivor, diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer back in 2005. She was treated at Moffitt.
"They saved my life. And I think it's important to remember. It's that simple. They're saving lives. And everybody's been touched by cancer. Even those guys in Tallahassee and Washington, you know. And they've got to remember how important it is to keep this research going," said Thomas.
According to Moffitt officials, over the past few years funding dramatically dropped because of budget cuts. They said back in 2006, they received nearly $14 million, but it has been less than $9 million in recent years.
"It pays for clinical trials to test new and better ways to treat cancer, to prevent cancer," said Director of Government Relations at Moffitt, John DeMuro.
Officials are hoping now that the economy has improved, lawmakers can increase funding.
The group has a full day planned including a press conference and numerous meetings with lawmakers.
They're expected back in Tampa Wednesday night at about 10:30.

Nov. 22, 2006
Alysha Cook of Kennewick, Wash., has signed an official letter of intent to attend Eastern Washington University and play for the volleyball squad, beginning in 2007, head coach Wade Benson said. She is a 6-0 senior who has played right side and middle blocker for the Kennewick High School Lions.
This past season, she was named MVP of the Columbia Basin 3A League and, as team captain, helped lead the Lions through districts and into regionals. As the No. 4 seed from the CBL, the Lions topped rival Kamiakin in five games before falling in a pair of five-game thrillers to Mount Spokane and Southridge (both of those fifth games were decided by just two points).
Her junior season, Cook earned mention on the All-Big Nine Conference Team. As a sophomore, she received second team accolades. She was also named to the all-conference team in track and field in both 2006 and 2005. Cook earned freshman awards with both the volleyball and track teams her initial year at the school.
Additionally, Cook qualified for the 14-15 division of the 2004 NFL Pepsi Punt, Pass & Kick National Finals.
"Alysha Cook is a powerful player, a left-handed right side player of the future for the Eagles," head coach Wade Benson said. "She has all kinds of upside with limited experience to this point. We feel she will turn into one of the outstanding players in the Big Sky Conference and hopefully even an MVP-type candidate. Her strengths are blocking and hitting at this point and we will work to refine her ball-control skills so she can be an all-around player for the Eagles. She will be a crowd favorite; she's a funny kid who brings a lot of energy and has skills."
The 2006 version of the Eagle volleyball squad wrapped up its season over the weekend with an impressive Big Sky Championship showing, advancing to the title contest against host and top-seeded Sacramento State before falling, 3-1. That marks the seventh straight season that the Eagles have played for the conference title. Eastern Washington rallied from a 0-5 Big Sky start to finish 10-6 and finish third, the 11th consecutive year the Eagles have placed third or higher in the final regular-season Big Sky standings.

Mel Trittin's collaborative Inauguration image
I was so impressed by CNN's use of thousands of iReport photos to create a single image of President Obama's Inauguration. That is what I call a great partnership between the public and the media, social media put to good use.
But I was pleasantly surprised to see a smaller, more local and decidedly more personal version of this idea executed, too. Mel Trittin asked the readers of her blog cigarettesandpurity to take a photo as they watched the oath of office being administered. Pictures came in in ones and twos and threes from around the country and the world. Trittin, in turn, created a composite image.
"I wasn't able to be in Washington D.C. but from this collaboration I am able to feel part of a communal experience on that historic day," Mel wrote.
