Pepper, Sweet, Bull Nosed Large BellA prized variety in Thomas Jefferson's garden at Monticello: sweet, mild, delicious.
Thomas Jefferson grew this bull-nosed pepper in his garden after it arrived here from India in the 1700s. Bull Nosed peppers, popular in early America, are due for a renaissance. Still grown at Jefferson's Monticello, the variety has a delectably mild, sweet taste and thick walls. Can be enjoyed raw, cooked or pickled. Fruits ripen from dark green to red and can be harvested 60-80 days from transplant.

Growing Information
How to Sow PeppersOnly home gardeners who enjoy long growing seasons in the Deep South should attempt to sow pepper seeds directly in the vegetable garden. Most of us must start our own pepper plants indoors about 8-10 weeks before transplanting, which should be done 2-3 weeks after the expected last frost. Start indoors in a warm, well-lighted area. Place containers in a south facing window or under grow lights until seedlings emerge. Sow 1-2 seeds 1/4" deep into individual containers filled with seed starting formula. Keep moist. Seedlings emerge in 10-21 days at 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
How to Grow PeppersTo get an early start with your pepper plants, particularly in the North, cover the prepared bed with a dark colored polyethylene mulch at least a week before transplanting. This will heat the soil beneath and provide a better growing condition for young pepper plants. The mulch will also help the soil retain moisture throughout the season as the pepper plants grow. Thin seedlings to one plant per container. Before transplanting outdoors move plants to a sheltered location outside for one week to "harden off." Space the plants 18" apart in rows 2' apart in an area with rich, well-drained soil and full sun. Provide plants with 1-1/2" of water every week. They appreciate watering in dry periods.
Harvesting PeppersLike cucumbers and summer squash, peppers are usually harvested at an immature stage. The traditional bell pepper, for example, is harvested green, even though most varieties will mature red, orange, or yellow. Peppers can be harvested at any stage, but their flavor doesn't fully develop until maturity. Fully ripe peppers in multi-colors are delightful in the garden as well as in salads.

You and me,
Shall forever be,
These arent just lines,
They're thoughts of mine.
I didn't know it,
But you had me from the start,
Now I love you more,
Can't pull us apart.
These arent just lines,
They're thoughts of mine.
More bright than the sun,
Our lives have finally begun,
A beautiful creature,
Never been touched,
Dying to release,
That lovely lust.
These arent just lines,
They're feelings of mine.
The feelings you give me,
The feelings I give back,
This isnt ordinary love,
It's much deeper than that.
These arent just lines,
They're emotions of mine.
I love you so much,
I love you everyday,
You'll always remain in my heart,
As long as the universe stays.
These arent just lines,
Not afraid to say,
That they're not only mines,
But they're our feelings,
Forever we hold.

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream Reviews
Neutrogena to the Rescue!It seems like it was just last week that I would purchase clear Neutrogena anti-acne soap to keep teenage blemishes at bay. It worked well and I wondered why my friends didn't do the same. Now I'm relying on the same company to banish wrinkles as well (where DOES the time go?). It was the trustworthiness of the Neutrogena name which sold me on their "Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream;" with a promi...read morese that I would see results, I knew I could return it if I were unhappy. But returning this is out of the question--this cream works! Period. It has a sleek, satiny feel and seeps into skin quickly (a heavy, oily cream in the eye area can cause fluid to be retained and eyes to puff). Moreover, it is totally fragrance-free. The real beauty of this product lies in three key ingredients working together--Retinol SA, Glucose Complex, and Hyaluronic Acid. Retinol SA (an abbreviation for Retinol--Sustained Action, unique to Neutrogena) is used as an anti-aging component. This patented version of Retinol evens skin's texture and tone. With continued use, wrinkles do disappear. It has the ability to continue working up to twelve hours after application to mend skin damage. For some people, this ingredient can be slightly harsh. Initially I found a mild burning. I switched from using it every night to every other night. My skin became accustomed to the Retinol SA, and severity was no longer a problem. I went back to daily use. Beware, however: Skin exposed to any form of Retinol is much more vulnerable to sun damage. Thus, a good sunscreen is in order to protect delicate tissue (actually, a good sunscreen is always in order). Neutrogena claims that Glucose Complex speeds the effectiveness of the Retinol SA. I won't disagree here; within just a few days, the tiny fine lines around my eyes had gone. Hyaluronic Acid--another wildly popular name in skin care these days--adds moisture to hydrate, rejuvenate, and plump skin, further erasing the appearance of unwanted creases. For a cost of about $20.00, I find this a steal. Not only are lines no longer a problem, but there is a new clarity and brightness to my eye area. Thanks again, Neutrogena. You never let me down. — 2 years, 9 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

The Kingdom of Bahrain is an archipelago made up of 33 islands in the Persian Gulf off the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia. It was a protectorate of Great Britain for much of the 20th century before gaining its independence and, in 2002, establishing a constitutional monarchy. Bahrain has been ruled by the Al Khalifa royal family since the 18th century. The executive branch consists of the king, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, who is head of state, and an appointed prime minister and cabinet. The country's capital, Manama, is also its largest city and a cultural and tourism hub, both regionally and internationally.
Because of its strategic location linking the eastern and western worlds, Bahrain has been one of the foremost trade crossroads in the Middle East dating back over 4,000 years. It was the first Arab state to discover oil in 1931, the revenues of which financed extensive modernization projects, particularly in health and education, bringing about a modern economy. Oil and petroleum products account for about 60% of Bahrain's exports and 70% of government revenue. However, Bahrain is expected to be the first Persian Gulf nation to run dry of oil, and has thus taken steps to move away from oil dependence. In doing so, Bahrain has become the region's most diversified economy and the fastest-growing economy in the Arab world.
Bahrain was the site of the ancient Dilmun civilization and was one of the earliest areas to convert to Islam in 628 AD. While Islam remains the country's prevailing religion, Bahrain is regarded as moderate and tolerant toward other religious and social practices. Bahrain's Muslim population is approximately 70 percent Shia and 30 percent Sunni, and sectarian tensions between the two groups have risen since the Arab Spring in 2010. Civil uprisings began in Bahrain in early 2011 and have been met with a forceful government response, raising concerns among the global community about the country's commitment to human rights.

Religious Change and Indigenous People
(Ashgate, 2013)
This book explores religious and spiritual changes that have been taking place among Indigenous populations in Australia, New Zealand, and some Pacific Islands over the last fifteen years. Drawing on local social and political debates, while contextualizing the discussion in a wider global discourse on changing religious affiliation, especially the growth of Islam, the authors present a critical analysis of the persistent images and discourses on Aboriginal religions and spirituality. This book takes a comparative approach to other Indigenous and minority groups to explore contemporary changes in religious affiliation that have raised questions about resistance to modernity, challenges to the nation state, and/or rejection of Christianity or Islam. It also offers a major contribution to the growing debate on conversion to Islam among Indigenous peoples. Bryan S. Turner is presidential professor of sociology at the Graduate Center.

|Are endoscopic or percutaneous biliary drainage effective forobstructive jaundice caused by hepatocellular carcinoma?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21228705 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVES: The prognosis of patients with obstructive jaundice caused by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been reported to be poor. The aims of this study were to determine whether effective biliary drainage in patients with obstructive jaundice caused by HCC can affect clinical outcome and to identify those factors that affect effective biliary drainage and clinical outcome. METHODS: The clinical records of 68 patients with obstructive jaundice caused by HCC who underwent endoscopic or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage from 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2008 were analyzed. Effective biliary drainage was defined as a decrease in total bilirubin level of more than 30% of the preprocedural value within 4 weeks. RESULTS: (i) Effective biliary drainage was achieved in 51.5% of the patients who underwent a biliary drainage procedure. The independent risk factors for ineffective biliary drainage were total bilirubin more than 13 mg/dl and Child-Turcotte-Pugh class C. (ii) Patients with effective biliary drainage showed a significant improvement of Child-Turcotte-Pugh class and received additional treatment for HCC. (iii) The mean survival times of patientswho received effective or ineffective biliary drainage were 247 and 44 days, respectively. (iv) The independent risk factors of mortality were an age of morethan 63 years, ineffective biliary drainage, and nofollowing treatment for HCC. CONCLUSION: When effective biliary drainage was achieved after an appropriate biliary drainage procedure in patients with obstructive jaundice caused by HCC, survival improved.

I know there were problems with the 2010 model and maybe the 2012.
So if someone has a SINGER 9960 Quantum Stylist how can they find out what year model they have ?
There has to be a way to figure this out by the serial number without contacting singer.
I'm trying to help someone figure which one they have.
-- Edited on 12/6/12 3:29 PM --
It would probably have something to do with the serial numbers. I would get the serial number off it and call Singer. A serial number will usually tell you when and where an item was made.
The 9960's with the greenish decal on the lower right of the machine are the newer ones. The ones without that are the ones from 2010 that had the bobbin problems.
This is the decal I am talking about:
------My machines (down to 2 now, from 5):
Sewing Machine - Quantum 9960
Serger - Baby Lock Ovation
Thanks Ladies....
Does anyone know what the 2012 model looks like that might help distinguish if from the 2010 and 2011 models ?
Thanks !
I'm pretty sure that both 2011 and 2012 have that decal, but that is only "pretty sure", not positively sure.
Thanks !

yes, probably.
YESSSS. A thousand times, yes.
okay when choosing actors to play characters from books you want them to have experience and the look and theres only three people i can see as
Finnick. one being Armie ^, and the other two being Ryan Kwanten from tru blood, and Garret hedlund.
How about Jamie Campbell Bower? He's drop-dead gorgeous, as Finnick is supposed to be, and exactly the right age. He'd just have to tone down the British accent.
I think Armie Hammer could really pull off this role but i also think Grant Gustin and Benjamin Stone would be good too, it just depends on who can really pull all of the necessary qualities to Finnick.
In my opinion Armie Hammer would be the perfect Finnick Odair
He looks too old to be Finnick.
He doesn't look like Finnick to me at all.
Definitely not.
you no what with a little bit of hair dying and stuff im sure they could make him look so much younger then he would b a perfect finnick
You guys know he's only 25 right? That's only a year older then what Finnick is suppose to be. He's not old he's perfect for the role.
seriously? he looks a little older than that. preferably i would lyk Garrett Hedlund to play finnick but if he doesnt then this dude would b my second choice.

Andrew Blake from Microsoft Research in Cambridge was part of the team that built Kinect, and he took to the stage at Wired 2011to talk about the history of computer vision, and how difficult it is to make a computer see in the same way that a human does. The field began in 1966 as a summer research project handed out to a student. It was thought that it'd take a few months, but it's been continually worked on by academics for more than 45 years and it still isn't perfect. The difficulty is that computers tend to take things literally. They see an image as a field of numbers, whereas humans approach image recognition in a totally different, probabilistic way -- "It's like our brains are professional statisticians running around trying to make sense of the world," said Blake. The first vision technology to gain much in the way of traction was face recognition. A team fed a computer a series of faces and a series of things that weren't faces, and got the computer to try and form hypotheses about how much something looked like a face. The locations with the highest probability were tagged, and the rest were discarded. That proved commercially lucrative, especially with camera manufacturers, and the field has now moved on significantly. Computers have been trained to detect when people have sunk suspiciously in swimming pools, and panoramic photos can now be automatically stitched together with an impressive success rate. That stitching technology has been taken far further with Microsoft's Photosynth project, which can switch thousands of photographs of the same object taken from different angles under different lighting conditions, and stitch them together into a three-dimensional representation of that object. Human pose estimation, in the form seen in Kinect, is a trickier problem still. The way they cracked it was to see the human body as a cluster of objects, each with different but recognisable properties. Faces have a nose, eyes and a mouth. Arms are long with fingers on the end, etc. But the team haven't just been sitting with their feet up since the device was released. Giving what could be a glimpse into the future of the platform, Blake pulled Wired magazine's editor, David Rowan, onto the stage and asked him to sit on a stool, then scanned him with a Kinect sensor. Within moments, a three-dimensional model of David had been built up. "Now we can send him to a 3D printing lab, perhaps get a bronze David". With this type of power in the labs today, it might not be long before your scanned three-dimensional avatar stars in the next game you play. Follow the rest of Wired 2011's talks in our live coverage at the Wired 2011 hub. You will be able to watch a video of this entire talk on Wired.co.uk next week.

Backhoe Hire
Backhoes, also known as a rear actor or back actor, are a fundamental excavating machine that uses a digging bucket on the end of a two-part articulated arm. Generally found mounted on tractors or front loaders some backhoes also have optional equipment extras that assist with increased performance and versatility.
Backhoes can be used for a variety of jobs including utility trenching, backfilling, digging footings and basements, drainage ditches, slopes and embankments in construction, landscaping and industrial settings. Backhoes can also be used for demolishing concrete when paired with construction hammers, digging holes to lay down pipes, cables, wires, and other similar underground installations. What's more, due to the backhoes ability to lift and transport large objects, it can quite often be used as a crane as well as digger.
Backhoes are extremely popular for all sorts of excavation project due to its versatility, strength and compact build. Backhoes are hydraulic which enables them to move a great deal of matter and push the loader into the ground in order to lift dirt and transfer it. This paired with their compact size means that they can be moved easily from different sites without any additional specialized transport equipment.
Backhoes can be either hired or purchased for excavation projects from a great number of different equipment providers. Of course, if you considering buying a second-hand backhoe then you will have to ensure that you inspect it thoroughly to determine that there are no mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical problems.

|Copper Gets New Status
Leslie M. Klevay
In an article I published a few years ago, I suggested that nutrients without Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) tend to be ignored by people who plan diets and do research. Copper was among those ignored nutrients . . . until recently.
In a sense, copper has been promoted because it now has RDA status along with zinc. The National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine recently issued new dietary reference intakes--which include RDAs--for copper and other trace elements. Research and staff members at Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, particularly Dr. James Penland who was a member of the expert panel on micronutrients, contributed critical information toward the new recommendations.
The Academy's panel thinks there is sufficient, quantitative information available to permit a good estimate of copper requirements and of the consequences for not satisfying the requirements. In contrast, calcium no longer has an RDA indicating that recent changes in nutritional perspectives and newer research makes the definition of requirements for this element less certain.
The copper RDA for adults is 0.9 mg daily. A slightly higher amount is recommended during pregnancy, and 1.3 mg daily is recommended for mothers who breast feed. Several collaborators and I have pooled data on the chemical analyses of 849 diets collected in the U.S., Belgium, Canada and the United Kingdom. Approximately one fourth of these diets contain less than the RDA for adults and nearly half of them contain less than 1.3 mg daily.
Evidence indicates that chronic low-copper intake can increase risk of heart attacks and osteoporosis. Research that relates a low-copper intake to heart disease has been increasing over the last quarter century.
The association between low-copper status and human bone disease generally is less extensive, although I recently found numerous older articles in pediatric journals describing osteoporosis in children deficient in copper. Whether or not these observations are related to the osteoporosis in late middle-age remains to be seen, but two recent experiments show that copper supplements for women improved bone density. The first study was done in San Diego; a supplement of calcium plus trace minerals (including copper) produced improvement compared to no treatment. Copper probably was the main active ingredient because a later study done in Belfast, Northern Ireland, showed that a copper supplement retarded bone loss.
It is easy to find a diet that fails to meet these dietary references intakes. For instance, a tuna fish salad made with lettuce, mayonnaise and salad oil is very low in copper. The recipe can be improved by adding high-copper foods such as soy or other legumes, mushrooms and sunflower or other seeds. Other good sources of copper include some ready-to-eat cereals, chocolate, nuts, peanut butter, liver and oysters.
The panel also defined the tolerable upper intake for adults as 10 mg daily and suggested that it is quite unlikely that people will reach even half this level even if dietary supplements of copper and small amounts of copper in drinking water are included.
I hope that neglect of copper will fade with the new recommendations. In any event, many of us probably will benefit from eating foods high in copper more frequently.

I just learned that I might have saved my heart a little calcification problem. I quit drinking tap water 30 years ago. I quit because I used to slow boil water on the stove in my apartment to raise the humidity. I had to throw the pot away because the calcium build up on the pot was so hard that I couldn't chip it off with a screwdriver and a hammer. I thought that might not be so good for me. What if it built up in the body?
The only available type of water other than tap water back then was spring or distilled water. I'd buy distilled in the 2.5-gallon container with a spout. I never bought the spring water because it tasted the same as tap water to me. I had visions of someone filling those jugs of spring water out back with a hose. So I got used to drinking distilled water with absolutely no taste so that drinking tap water tasted salty to me. It's been 30 years and because of PUR and BRITA, the days of the plastic jugs are over. However, I've recently found that even though these filters may reduce calcium content quite a bit, they still do not remove all calcium. I also found that spring water may or may not have higher levels of calcium than tap water, so much for bottled spring water.
And the problem with too much of the wrong calcium? Well, on Good Morning America I previewed a CT scan of the heart that was able to discern calcium deposits in the arteries near the aorta before they become a blockage produced heart attack. I couldn't believe it. The scan showed the same type of hardened calcium deposits building up in some of our arteries no differently than the pot I threw away years ago.
I researched different types of calcium further, which is a good thing for everyone to do, especially women suffering from osteoporosis, and found that all calcium is not created equal. Much of it must be combined with other minerals like magnesium or may be unsafe for the heart because "studies show that calcium alone may even be preferentially laid down in arterial walls." AHA. Since most calcium supplements now automatically come with added magnesium and Vitamin D, it's not likely these supplements contributed to the calcified arteries in the CT scan. More than likely it was from tap water.
On top of that I learned that "Severe hypercalcemia (high blood levels of calcium) can cause neurologic dysfunction (including confusion, delirium, hallucinations and coma) as well as serious disturbances in muscle contraction." Don't some of these neurologic functions like confusion, delirium, and hallucinations sound like dementia and Alzheimer symptoms?
So when someone suggests that drinking tap water is every bit as good as filtered water or distilled–baloney. Calcium isn't the only potential problem in tap water. The fluoride that's been added into our drinking water since we baby boomers were kids has never been tested long term or short term. It's great for cavities, but whatever else it may or may not be doing for our bodies has never been established.

Dear Experts,
Our requirement is like :
The client chooses to enter the details of 10 customers in the First Jsp page , by selecting 10 in a dropdown list and clicks the Proceed button in the same JSP.
The Second JSP ie. Customer Details Jsp is popped up and the client enters the details of the first customer. Then he clicks Next Button in that JSP.
Clicking the Next Button in the Second JSP, will :-
1>Create a customer object to store the details and add the object to an arraylist ,
2>Close the current Customer Details JSP and show a new one.
This will repeat for 10 times and after the last customer details are entered , the Done Button in Customer Details JSP will take the control back to the First Calling Jsp.
How can we implement this logic in JSP ??
Thanks & Regards
Saswata Mandal.

There are no certified opthalmic plastic surgeons in my region? So which one should I go to for consultation for my lower eyelid surgery?
Blepharoplasty by a Certified Plastic Surgeon or Certified Opthalmologist?
Doctor Answers 18
Blepharoplasty surgeon
Board certified plastic surgeons, board certified ophthalmologists, and board certified facial plastic surgeon can all perform an excellent blepharoplasty. Look for pictures of their previous work, talk to previous patients, make sure the patients look natural, and you feel comfortable with the surgeon.
Web reference: http://www.seattlefacial.com
Experienced eyelid surgeon is best choice
You have a choice of a facial plastic surgeon, plastic surgeon, or opthalmologist to seek out for consultation. While all of these surgeons have qualifications, some opthalmogists (not opthalmic plastic surgeons) rarely or infrequently perform blepharoplasty. Therefore inquire as to the frequency as well as techniques that your surgeon would use, along with some examples of his or her blepharoplasty and browlift results, if that is another of your concerns. Experience counts.
Web reference: http://www.specialface.com
Blepharoplasty by Plastic Surgeon or opthamologist
Web reference: http://www.michaellawmd.com/lower-eyelid-surgery.html
You might also like...
Eyelid surgeons
Depends where your region is. I am sure there is an ophthalmic plastic surgeon somewhere near you. Alternatively a facial plastic surgeon or general plastic surgeon should be able to do an adequate job as well.
Go to an Oculoplastic surgeon
If possible I would seek out several opinions, make sure you are comfortable with who you go with. They should explain complications, as well as what they hope to achieve with outcomes, ask to see before and afters and if the surgeon's perceptions meet your expectations then go with them. Training backround may vary, so I would go less with that and more on the merit of the individual surgeon.
In general, many Oculoplastic surgeons are trained in facelifting and many other facial procedures but have a strong focus on eyelids and dealing with complications. I do agree with previous posts, go to someone with experience and focus on the procedure.
Best Surgeon for Blepharoplasty
Facial plastic surgeons, general plastic surgeons, and oculoplastic surgeons may have the experience to perform this surgery. As with any surgery, it is important to ask your surgeon about his/her personal experience with a given procedure. Also, review some results and ask to speak to former patients.
Ophthalmologist and Plastic Surgeons can both be good at Blepharoplasty
Both specialists in eye and in plastic surgeon can be good competent Blepharoplasty surgeons. It is more important to evaluate how many the doctor doers, what techniques he/she uses, and be able to see many examples of the work and speak to patients. These are good guidelines but the exact specialty is not as important.
Best results for lower eyelid surgery
Web reference: http://www.renudc.com/blepharoplasty.html
Most expansive knowledge of eyelid anatomy and procedures
There are excellent physicians in many fields of medicine that can provide stellar results with the eyelids. Ocular Plastic physicians (www.ASOPRS.com) are the only physicians who train exclusively on eyelid procedures during their fellowship training. These doctors first complete a residency in Ophthalmology.
After this, they complete a fellowship in Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive surgery. These physicians work hand in hand with their colleagues on complex eyelid and facial issues. Most important is to know your surgeon's credentials; review his before / after photos; speak with his patients; and have knowledge of his surgical center. Best of Luck.
Surgeon for lower lid blepharoplasty
If you do not have access to an oculoplastic surgeon, consult with several general plastic surgeons or facial plastic surgeons. Check out their results, ask a lot of questions, find out how each handles the orbital fat, excess skin. I believe that for best results and the least chance of complications the approach to the fat should be behind the lid (transconjunctival incision), that the fat should be resected conservatively and repositioned to fill in the tear troughs, that excess skin should be removed via a separate incision under the lashes, and that the orbicularis muscle be left undisturbed as much as possible.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Game thread _ Phoenix _ Stars win 2-1 in shootout
Former Stars goalie Mike Smith in net for Phoenix.
Rozsival out for Coyotes. David Schlemko in.
There might be 2,000 people in the building right now (official attendance is 6,306).
Stars lines look like this:
Both teams had plenty of power plays, as refs seemed whistle happy. Nobody scored in the first period. Phoenix has 11-7 edge in shots on goal and looks like the better team right now.
Stars just not passing very well.
Still scoreless after two periods. Lehtonen fantastic. Sheldon Souray, Jamie Benn very good.
Shots 25-17 in favor of Coyotes.
Phoenix 1, Stars 0 _ 5:55 of third period _ Stars take an awful too many men on the ice penalty, and the Coyotes score quickly. Shane Doan took a shot on ice, Martin Hanzal swiped at the rebound, and Radim Vrbata cleaned up on an easy loose puck in front of the net. Shots are 31-18.
Dallas 1, Phoenix 1 _19:32 of third period _ With goalie pulled, Sheldon Souray put a blast on goal from the point that was tipped by Loui Eriksson.
Dallas 2, Phoenix 1 _ shootout _ Loui Eriksson and Mike Ribeiro score in shootout, while Shane Doan scores for Phoenix.

|Identification of patients at high risk for recurrence of sustained ventricular tachycardia after healing of acute myocardial infarction.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1736607 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|A prognostic index for nonfatal recurrences of ventricular tachycardia (VT) was developed using a retrospective analysis of a group of 206 patients with sustained monomorphic VT or ventricular fibrillation (VF) after healing of acute myocardial infarction. 74 patients (36%) (64 with VT and 10 with VF) had recurrences of sustained monomorphic VT during 3.4 +/- 9 years of follow-up. Three clinical variables were selected and weighted by stepwise logistic discriminant analysis of the study group. They were coded as follows: interval of myocardial infarction to arrhythmia (less than 2 months = 1; 2 to 6 months = 2; greater than 6 months = 3), drug therapy with or without sotalol (with = 1, without = 2), and VT or VF as the presenting arrhythmia (VT = 1, VF = 2). The prognostic index was: 3.41 - (0.56 x interval) - (1.94 x therapy) + (0.86 x arrhythmia). This index was validated prospectively in a test group of 158 consecutive patients with VT or VF after healing of acute myocardial infarction. Patients were allocated into different classes with decreasing prognostic index values associated with increasing risk for recurrences of VT. In the test group, 27 of 158 (17%) patients (22 with VT and 5 with VF) had recurrences of VT (follow-up of 2 +/- 2 years). Two risk classes of patients were identified: high risk for recurrences of VT (61%) corresponding to patients with a negative index; and low risk (4%) consisting of those with a positive index. Thus, using O as the cutoff point, the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 81, 89, 62 and 96%, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Compassion That Can Bring Messiah
Provided by Canfei Nesharim, providing Torah wisdom about the importance of protecting our environment.
"If you chance upon a bird's nest along the way in any tree or on the ground, whether it contains young birds or eggs, and the mother is sitting upon the young birds or upon the eggs–you shall not take the mother bird together with her children. You shall surely send away (shalei'ach tishalach) the mother, and only then may you take the young for yourself; that it may go well for you, and you may prolong your days (Deut. 22:6-7)."
Our Sages discern within this Torah law several surprising and far-reaching implications. Concerning the phrase shalei'ach tishalach ("you shall surely send away"), the Midrash states:
"Why does the verse use a double expression? Because one who fulfills the 'sending forth' of this precept will be granted the privilege of 'sending forth' a slave to freedom. As it is written (Deut. 15:12), 'And when you send him forth free…' Fulfilling the precept of sending forth the mother bird also hastens the advent of the Messiah…
"Rabbi Tanchuma said: Fulfilling this precept hastens the arrival of Elijah the Prophet, whose coming is associated with the expression 'to send forth.' As it states (Malakhi 3:23), 'Behold, I shall send forth to you Elijah the Prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of God…' and he shall console you as it says (ibid.), 'He will return the hearts of parents towards children.'"
At first glance, these connections may seem arbitrary. What does the act of sending away a mother bird before taking the nestlings have to do with freeing slaves, or the coming of Elijah the Prophet and the Messiah? The Midrash uses the verb tishalach (to send away) as the element that connects the issues it mentions. But this semantic link between the three verses only begs the question: What do these issues actually have in common?
Judaism & Animals
A possible answer may be found by considering Jewish teachings on compassion to animals. While the Torah clearly places humanity above the animal kingdom, it mandates respect for all creatures, forbids causing animals unnecessary suffering, and idealizes the state of peace and harmony among all living things that will prevail during the Messianic era. The term nefesh chayah (living soul) is applied to animals as well as humans (Genesis 1:21, 1:24).

Foolproof color: Rachel Zoe's navy liner
If you've caught even a snippet of this season's Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo, you have probably noticed one of the fashion stylist's mainstay accessory of late: navy blue eyeliner. For 'brown-eyed girls' like Zoe, navy eyeliner highlights and brightens the eye area, creating a subtle but striking contrast to the darker color of the iris. For individuals with lighter eyes, navy eyeliner can often make the subtle colors in your eye come to the forefront. Navy transitions well into the spring, providing a similar effect as black eyeliner without looking harsh and overdone. Take a cue from stylist and designer Zoe — shop the navy blue favorites below.
