PGA Tour Pro Charles Warren Demonstrates a Total Body Warmup Routine on the Next Episode of "Golf Fitness Academy Presented by Titleist"
Fairhaven, MA (June 5, 2007) – On the next all new episode of Golf Fitness Academy, co-hosts Dr. Greg Rose and Dave Phillips are joined by PGA Tour professional Charles Warren and Randy Myers, Director of Fitness at the Sea Island Resort. Together the group demonstrates a total body warmup routine to target the key muscles in the golf swing and prepare golfers before they head out on the course.
Charles, currently ranked among the top 20 players in driving distance, explains how he's able to generate so much speed and power through a three step stretching and flexibility routine. Following shoulder surgery in 2001, Charles worked with his trainers and instructors to develop a more standardized warmup program, integrating fitness and golf preparation exercises to continue rehabilitation of his shoulder while maximizing performance and trying to limit other injuries. The episode begins with an Upper and Lower Body Warmup featuring dynamic stretches to target major muscles used in the golf swing, followed by Stretching Drills and, finally, Tubing Drills which focus mostly on flexibility as you get ready to hit the practice range.
Episode 8: Charles Warren airs Wednesday, June 6, at 10:30 p.m. EDT. It will re-air June 7 at 2 a.m., June 17 at 2:00 p.m., June 18 at 6:30 p.m., and June 19 at 5:30 a.m.
During this season's "Player Series," Rose and Phillips, cofounders of the Titleist Performance Institute, offer tips that directly relate to producing a better all-around golf game. They address a range of topics with the help of players from the PGA and LPGA Tours including Charley Hoffman, Brett Quigley, Troy Matteson, Brad Faxon, Minea Blomqvist, Charles Warren, Jonathan Byrd and Laura Diaz, as well as Villegas and Masters Champion Zach Johnson, who was on the series premiere. Special guests from the golf and fitness communities also provide valuable information for golfers of all abilities. The Golf Fitness Academy sessions were filmed at the state-of-the-art Spa & Fitness Facility at the Sea Island Resort in Sea Island, Georgia, and the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California.
"This year on Golf Fitness Academy we're going to offer unprecedented access to workout secrets from some of the best players on the PGA and LPGA Tour," said Rose. "Whether the viewer is seeking to increase strength, stability and mobility, or prevent injuries, this year's Player Series has something for all avid golfers looking to improve their on-course performance and enjoyment through enhanced conditioning."

I handled the CZ 858 today (I believe that is the same rifle, just the European name). It looks initially like an AK, until you look at it in closer detail.
On the shelf, it looks like a toy!! Really small, but up closer, up against the sholder it feels good. Solid, weighty, but not heavy. The sights line up naturally.
It seems a little rough around edges: the stock is plasticky (it is plastic, after all...), but pull the slide back and it looks very neat inside.
On top of that I think it is cheaper here than in the US!!
First time for everything!!
If I get any rifles, one will be a .22, the other will be this CZ.
Hopefully this will be the case in September!!

July 2012, Dr. Laura Huenneke was appointed Provost and Vice President for
Academic Affairs at Northern Arizona University (NAU). She joined NAU in 2003 as
Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences and Professor of Biological Sciences
and served three years as Dean of Engineering & Natural Sciences before being
named the first Vice President for Research in university history.
environmental scientist at heart, Dr. Huenneke's research interests pertain to
the influence of biological diversity on ecosystem structure and function. As VP for research, she oversaw a campus
shift from heavy reliance on state agency funding to more effective competition
for federal funding. She also helped improve NAU's recovery of indirect cost
dollars, allowing the university to reinvest in research capacity.
member of NAU's Coordinating Committee for Campus Sustainability, Dr. Huenneke is
also a leading voice on the effective communication of scientific and
ecological understanding to the public, to K-12 educators and students and to
policy-makers. In 1999, she was selected as one of the initial cohort of Aldo Leopold Leadership Fellows, a program promoting
the development of communication and leadership skills among environmental
scientists. In 2012 she was honored as one of the first Fellows of the
Ecological Society of America (members recognized by the Society for service to
the discipline).
to coming to NAU, Laura spent 16 years at New Mexico State University in Las
Cruces, where she became Regents' Professor and served five years as department
chair in Biology. She served as Lead Investigator / Project Director for the
NSF-funded Jornada Basin Long-Term Ecological Research Program,
a consortium of multiple universities and federal agencies focused on desert
ecosystem structure and function.
Huenneke earned her Ph.D. in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology from Cornell
University. She has served as a member of numerous Board of Directors, Board of
Editors, Board of Trustees and Steering Committees throughout her career, and
she is actively involved in numerous ecological and sustainability organizations
and initiatives in the southwest.
Dr. Huenneke is the Lead Investigator for the Partnership for Native American
Cancer Prevention, a $five year, $8.9 million National Institutes of Health (NIH)
investment to build NAU's research and training capacity, which alleviates the
unequal burden of cancer among Native Americans through research, training and
community outreach programs. She also serves on the Board of Trustees of the
Arizona Chapter of The Nature Conservancy."

Miami Heat forward LeBron James grimaces after being fouled by Indiana Pacers center Ian Mahinmi as he drives to the basket inside Bankers Life Fieldhouse on March 26.
- Filed Under
All season, the Pacers fought for what they now have. Finishing with the best record in the Eastern Conference and home-court advantage in a potential rematch with Miami in the finals was Indiana's paramount goal.
Now, it seems like no one cares.
"Miami is doing backflips," ESPN analyst Bill Simmons wrote about the match-up, noting Indiana's inconsistent play and the Heat's relatively smooth path to this series. ...

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - An Afghan provincial government spokesman says gunmen have attacked a NATO air base on the outskirts of the eastern city of Jalalabad, where the U.S. has forces stationed.
Ahmad Zia Abdulzai says he heard several explosions. Afghan army units told him that a first attack targeted the base entrance, while sporadic gunfire rang out for around a half an hour as helicopters flew overhead.
He had no further information regarding casualties or the number of forces involved.

Managing A Gap In Your Professional Career (Part 2)January 5th, 2010 by ROZEE Team
As we all realize that regardless of the stability of the professional field in which a person is, and no matter how efficiently an employee performs, it is quite possible that anyone can face a layoff at any part of one's career road. Other than a layoff, it is quite common for job seekers to leave the workforce because of a disability, illness, maternity, education, or even a challenging job search. Previously, we discussed several ways as to how to carry yourself through an employment gap in the most beneficial ways possible. Continuing to the subject, we will now discuss that, as a job seeker, how can you help employers feel confident about hiring you even after an employment gap. Read More »

Dixie Ambulance paramedics respond to a car accident on Interstate 15 between the Bluff Street and Brigham Road exits May 18, 2011. The state has recommended that Dixie Ambulance be replaced by Gold Cross in St. George.
- Filed Under
After a years-long battle over which ambulance company could best serve the St. George area, a state-appointed officer has recommended that Gold Cross Ambulance replace longtime local provider Dixie Ambulance Services.
In a recommendation issued Tuesday to the Utah Department of Health, presiding officer Maxwell Miller concluded that Gold Cross would improve the quality of emergency medical services in the area, contending that the larger Salt Lake City-based company could use its bigger budgets and more sophisticated operations to provide faster and better service to the area.

This week I was at Devoxx 2013 in Belgium. Like the previous years I helped film the event. Together with other a couple of Devoxx4Kids organizers we also did a session and an informal BoF talk. I might do some more posts on the actual conference sessions later, lot of cool things to talk about, from making live music with Clojure and OverTone to flying quadcopters with digital bracelets.
Digital me
For me the biggest eye opener was during the pre-conference speakers dinner. Three times during this dinner/reception I was talking to someone and only after 30 minutes they suddenly realized they already knew me… online, not in real life. Because I've always used a crazy blue avatar and the anonymous 'redcode.nl' URL, people can't possibly connect the face to the online presence. That is when Tasha Carl suggested to me to use an actual picture instead. (just noticed she also doesn't have a recognizable picture, the irony!)
When I got to the hotel that evening and fired up my laptop I decided to quickly bridge the gap between my digital appearance and real life. I've now changed my avatar at Twitter/Facebook/Vimeo/LinkedIn etc to the image above (the iconic blue creature is still there!). Also as you might have noticed I've decided to switch my complete website to my other domain: royvanrijn.com. All the links online that point to redcode.nl will still work, but all the links on that page point to the new domain.
Instant confirmation
The following day I was walking around on the conference floor when a woman approached me. She asked "Are you Roy?". It turned out I replied to a tweet she wrote earlier that day and recognized my face from the image. Confirmation couldn't be more instant!
The Devoxx theme this year was "Reborn at Devoxx", at this is absolutely true for me, my digital identity is actually reborn!
Umm, it was actually your Devoxx Team shirt (saying "ROY"), not the picture in twitter.

Pal Hagen plays Thor Heyerdahl in 'Kon Tiki.'
- Filed Under
"Kon-Tiki" is a ripping yarn torn from yesterday's headlines. Though somewhat forgotten now, the 1947 story of six men, an oceangoing raft and a wild and crazy theory was a media sensation that gripped the world's imagination - and launched a thousand tiki bars.
Though scientists then and now largely believe that the original inhabitants of Polynesia came eastward from Asia, Norwegian scientist and adventurer Thor Heyerdahl became convinced that they had come westward, from pre-Inca Peru, drifting over on the Humboldt Current on enormous balsa-wood rafts. When no one took his theory ...

Jennifer Hudson has been keeping an understandably low profile in the wake of the murder conviction of William Balfour, but the erstwhile Dreamgirl stepped out in New York last night for a charitable cause and in doing so, brought more attention to her own pet project, the Julian King Foundation, the namesake organization of her late 7-year-old nephew.
E! News scored an interview with the Oscar winner, her first interview since the guilty verdict, who spoke about the memory of her beloved nephew, how being a mom has changed her life and whether or not she's altar-bound anytime soon...
MORE: Jennifer Hudson Lets Loose in Wake of Murder Trial Verdict With Trip to Six Flags
"Tonight is an amazing milestone stepping stone," Hudson told E! News at the Samsung Hope for Children event, saying that she and her sister created the foundation "from scratch" and "in honor of his memory."
So devoted to the cause is she that Hudson and her sister are hosting a dinner on Aug. 14—Julian's birthday—to further fundraise for the charity, which benefits underprivileged children in the Chicago area.
In addition to preserving the memory of her nephew, the noble do-gooding also falls in line with Hudson's new priorities as a mother.
"It's definitely changed me and put me in the mindset of a mom, and, as before, it makes you think of the future of our children," she said. "This is the perfect place to do that; it's like starting a new beginning and closing a chapter."
Meanwhile, the Oscar winner also had time to chat about lighter fare, and squashed rumors that she and fiancé David Otunga are in a rush to walk down the aisle.
"I have no idea where those rumors are coming about getting married, but I'm happy and something will happen soon. It's coming."
Also coming? A return to the talent that put her in the nation's consciousness to begin with.
"I'm getting started on my third album this summer, and I have a few films in the works. I'm now just getting back out there and into my rhythm again, so one day at a time."

Governor Theodore Orji
Odimegwu Onwumere writes that propaganda is thriving in Abia State and the reality may unravel soon
Some persons have the ability to learn from experience while others do not. The later does not make human existence unique. It is not remarkable. Such makes the world retrogress. And this is what has been playing on in Abia State.
Governor Theodore Orji and his bootlickers called aides will ever comment to the contrary, thereby deceiving neophyte-observers of the political games they have been playing in that once "God's Own State" now "Goons' Own State". A fortnight ago, one of Orji's aides spoke in an interview about how the governor has 'restored the dignity' of the Abia person, but one cannot nominate a place where the 'dignity' is restored. It is evident that the government is using propaganda as its vital tool for governance, forgetting that no government has ever survived on propaganda.
The Orji-led government of Abia State is living on such now, but definitely it has shown that it cannot survive on a platter of good governance devoid of the art of propaganda.
The rude side of this propaganda which the Orjis in the Abia State Government have been hatching un-relentlessly is their nasty dispositions in churlishing the predecessor of Governor Orji of which one cannot examine their actions and understand what they are bent on achieving with such crass media brouhahas.
It is, therefore, essential to note that the futility-war that the Orjis have waged against the immediate past governor of the state lacks substance and do not hold any water, as the person in question wields political power that spans beyond and across the Orjis' marooned political exhibitions.
Governor Orji cannot be talking about having dignity when the welfare of the Abia people he was supposed to add value to is in shambles, therefore making the future of that state bleak. This is annoying because, as they say, Governor Orji was in the Civil Service before he became governor.
Imagine a man who was once a Permanent Secretary ruling Abia State like one who has not heard about the tenets of leadership before. He has further aided critics to question how he got to that position of a Permanent Secretary because his body language so far has proved that he was not competently qualified for the aplomb job. Dignity is not in name but in work. It is the good work that a person
has done that compels people to see him as a man of dignity.
Notwithstanding, this is not applicable to Orji, both in name and in deeds; he is a featherweight.
Ask the Orjis one project they have completed in Abia State, they list frivolities. They will mention Umuahia Master Plan, Aba Master Plan, and all other poppycock they have been exhibiting in Abia State and call it good governance.
A man like Governor Orji who they say was a Permanent Secretary is supposed to make Abia State functional, but the obverse has been the case. And this is the bane of the patriotic Abia people. For example, where is the N1 billion grants for youth agriculture? The Orjis would use the flood that took over some towns and villages in Nigeria as an excuse whereas Abia State was not a witness, or how have they disbursed the 'N1B' to the youths who were certified by their various local governments and traditional rulers for farming. Hooey!
What about the much-touted and hyped monorail project? As if that was not enough, they would tell whoever that cares to listen of how Orji pays out N2.5 billion to civil servants as salaries. They know how to draw pity to their government of how less than N1billion is left for them every month. This is an insult!
It is sad that Abia State fell in the hands of kidnappers of good governance; where the governor's wife has been building houses for people christened underprivileged, and one is poised to ask where she got the money from and what her occupation is?
This is what the state has become, and the aides are competing for who issues out the longest press briefs on matters bothering to the governor. The cheerless side of their charade is the incessant rudeness they show against the immediate past governor of the state. This habit however shows that there is perhaps, something that is eating into the fabrics of the Orjis in government that they don't want to say. Albeit, the masses will know in due course!
It lacks judgment by any aide serving Governor Orji-led government of Abia State not to know that down deep Orji's heart, he feels guilty of how he betrayed the finger that fed him with abusive excuses as reason, when what the Abia people have gotten as governance is intimidation and unquantifiable taxations of the residents in a place like Aba and sundry. The sycophants do not realize that nothing lasts forever and that very soon Orji-led government will be but a history.
No doubt, Orji and his aides' approach to things are uncivilized, makeshift and narrow-minded, with their disastrous government that has already crashed in the abyss. Those aides of Orji that are writing deconstructive garbage against the immediate past governor of Abia State today will write against their paymaster, Governor Orji tomorrow. It is a promise. What goes around comes around!

Royal Story Guides
Looking for Royal Story Facebook Guides? Check below for the complete guides in the game.
Royal Story Newbie Guide
First let's go over the basic aspects and functions of Royal Story:
Energy is what allows your player to do work actions on your kingdom. Harvesting, fishing, and fighting all require energy to do. However some actions such as adding ingredients to machines for processing, or collecting machine produce do not require energy. So it is best that you plan energy consumption wisely. For example, you can first spend a lot of energy gathering and harvesting your crops, and then take time to process items while you wait for more energy to come back. You can increase your maximum Energy amount by leveling up. With each level, your maximum Energy capacity will increase by 1, until a maximum of 39 Energy.
Coins are the common currency of all kingdoms in the Royal Story realm. You can use coins to purchase a large variety of items in the store (although some items will cost Rubies). You can earn coins by harvesting and selling crops, selling produce, visiting neighboring kingdoms, or by completing quests. You can also add coins by purchasing them directly through the Royal Story payment system.
Rubies are what can be regarded as the strongest form of currency in the game. You can use Rubies to do practically anything. Use them to help you on tough quests, speed up your productions, or purchase fertilizers and rare items. You can earn Rubies by leveling up your character, or by completing Achievements. Like coins, Rubies can also be purchased directly through Royal Story.
Experience (XP)
XP is what you receive whenever you harvest crops, add ingredients to machines, complete missions, or earn medals. As you gain more XP, your level will increase. The higher your level, the more access to items and features you will have. Each time you level up, you receive free energy (enough to fill your energy bar), as well as some coins.
Humble Hearts
Humble Hearts are rewarded whenever you visit a neighboring kingdom and use your 5 visit energy working on the kingdom. Humble Hearts are most commonly used in crafting items. Items such as the super chop, some clothes, and some crafted items all require Humble Hearts. More information about crafting items with Humble Hearts can be found in our crafting guide here
Castle Value (CV)
Castle Value or CV, is a number that is associated to the approximate value of your kingdom's castle. Adding royal buildings or upgrading your castle level will add to your overall Castle Value. Having a higher CV will be required to explore the lands outside of your kingdom.
Your inventory is where all your Royal Story items are stored. Any time you harvest or collect items, they are automatically sent to your inventory. The inventory can be broken down in to several sub-categories.
Making Money
Once you begin the game, it would be a good idea to begin working towards building a Whimsical Workshop. Reason being, once you complete the Workshop, you may begin crafting items which are required to build machines that can process your crops. The sooner you begin processing more of your crops, the sooner you can begin making a higher income (as well as start gaining XP more quickly). The Workshop is available for purchase after the player has reached level 6. For more on crafting with the Whimsical Workshop, see our Crafting Guide here.
Leveling Up
When you begin the game, you will notice that your character will begin at level 1. As you do tasks in your kingdom and complete quests, your character will gain XP, and will level up after filling the XP bar on the upper right of your screen.
Leveling up is important as more machines and buildings become available to you at higher levels. With more access to buildings and machines, you will have more chances to increase your cash flow and make higher profits.
A good way to begin leveling up quickly is focusing on getting all available quests completed. At the same time, be sure to start working on the 1st and 2nd tiers of the available achievements. Usually speaking, you will have to harvest/produce between 50-60 of a given crop/product to achieve the 1st tier achievement, and between 180-220 to achieve the 2nd tier achievement. Upon completion of an achievement, you will receive coins and XP (and some energy), and this will boost your progress towards the next level.
Recruiting Neighbors Guide
Recruiting Neighbors
You will notice that many of the royal buildings in Royal Story not only require construction, but also neighbors to come fill building positions. This is where you will have to "recruit" neighbors to come fill these positions. After collecting all the required construction materials and completing this type of building, you will notice it will remain in a half-completed state until you recruit the required number of neighbors.
To do so, simply click the building, and menu will appear giving you the option to recruit some of your neighbors. You may click the green recruit button to go to your Facebook friends list and select which neighbors you would like to send requests to. If they accept, they will appear in your building. The alternative to recruiting your neighbors is to simply purchase the positions using Rubies. To do so simply click the blue Hire One button.
It is important to note the following about recruiting neighbors:
- Once a particular neighbor has been hired into one of your buildings, he/she cannot be hired into another building. Each neighbor can only be recruited once for one building.
- If a building containing hired neighbors is deleted, those neighbors will be unemployed and not available again for other buildings
Royal Story Achievements Guide
Achievements are unlocked in Royal Story by planting crops and producing items. Unlocking Achievements will award you with Medals, which can in turn be used to upgrade your Castle (see the Castle Upgrades Guide). To view your Medals and Achievements, click the Castle in your Kingdom.
As you can see in the above screenshot, each crop or product has five unlock-able Achievements, each of which will award you with one Medal. To unlock each Achievement, you must plant/produce the specified amount of the crop/product. You can see your progress towards each Achievement by watching the progress bar to the bottom right of each product. Using the example above, you can see that for Coffee Beans I am 6/60 towards my first Achievement, but for Corn I am 304/700 towards my third Achievement. So let's say I plant 54 more Coffee Beans, I will attain my first Coffee Bean Achievement.
After you obtain required amount of a given crop/product, a screen will appear showing you your rewards. It is important to note that upon completion of the 5th Achievement, you will receive a 1 Ruby bonus.
Expansion Guide
You probably notice upon starting the game that all the lands around your initial kingdom are darkened out. These are lands that can be expanded into and explored after meeting certain requirements. Expanding your land means more space to place buildings and machines, as well as more room to plant your crops.
Initially moving your mouse over these dark areas will usually (but not always!) yield a hint like below:
Notice that it says you need 50 CV to expand into this land. This is the first requirement. After meeting the requirements to expand to the land, there will then be some additional requirements to actually explore the land.
You must then collect all the needed materials to pay for your adventure into the new area, or pay your way through using Rubies. If you choose to use Rubies, just click the explore button on the bottom, and the shown number of Rubies will be deducted from your game. Or after you've collected the required materials, an "Explore" button will appear on the bottom of the expansion menu with no Ruby price.
Simply click this, and you are free to continue your journey in the newly explored area!
Land Expansions List:
1. House of the Wise
- Reach Level 6
- Have 12 Eggs
- Have 15 Cheddar Cheese
- 2000 Coin Fee
2. Fisher's Fields
- Have 12 Apple Bread
- 10 Animal Bones
- 6000 Coin Fee
3. Bert's Abode
- Reach Level 15
- Have 25 Orange Juice
- Have 20 Honey Donuts
- 12000 Coin Fee
Royal Story Crafting Guide
The purpose of this guide is to clearly display and explain all the functions of the Workshop, and its crafting functions.
The Workshop is where all the game's crafting happens. It becomes available in the store when you reach level 6 and costs 500 Coins. After placing the Workshop in your Kingdom, you will need to collect some materials to complete it.
After collecting the required Wood and Stone, you can finish construction of the Workshop, and begin crafting.
Please note that you can build up to a maximum of 3 Workshops in your kingdom. Once completed, you may click the Workshop to enter and begin crafting items. Each craft-able item will be displayed on the left hand side, followed by what materials are required to craft it.
Royal Story Castle Upgrade Guide
One of the best ways to add Castle Value (CV) to your kingdom is to upgrade your castle. Each time you upgrade, you will receive a sizable CV bonus. To upgrade your castle, simply click your castle, and select the Upgrade Tab on the left hand side.
You will notice that the conditions for upgrading are shown on the bottom of the menu. For each time you upgrade the castle, you will have to pay a Medal and Coin fee. As shown in the picture above, the cost of upgrading to a Hold will cost 10 Medals, and 2000 Coins. These costs will increase with each level you upgrade. Your castle can be upgraded a total of 7 times.
Castle Upgrade Chart
Keep > Hold > Fort > Castle > Fortress > Citadel > Stronghold > Palace
It is very important to note that each time you upgrade your castle, the medals required to upgrade will be deducted from your total medal amount. So for example, if you have 15 medals from achievements, and then you use 10 to upgrade to the next level of castle, it will then show that you will only have 5 medals, as 10 were used in upgrading.
Rename Your Kingdom Guide
How to rename your Kingdom in Royal Story Facebook? Read the guide below to learn.
To rename your Kingdom, simply click on the Purple banner that has the Kingdom's name in it. You find this in the bottom left side of your game screen.
Click it, and a panel pops up that allows you type a new name.
Don't forget to announce your Kingdom's name to the world!
Note: This does not work in Full Screen Mode. If you are in Full Screen Mode, first switch this off, and then rename your Kingdom.

SA crime stats down: UNComment on this story
Johannesburg - The United Nations' latest report on crime shows South Africa has halved its murder rate, government said in a statement on Friday.
"Government has and continues to, through the justice, crime, prevention and security cluster, ensure that steps are taken to fight and reduce crime," government spokeswoman Phumla Williams said.
She said the SA Police Service statistics from 2012/2013 revealed that there was a significant and constant reduction of murder.
Williams said the UN's report hailed South Africa's trend of halving the murder rate from 64.5 per 100,000 people in 1995 to 31 in 2012.
"This study is in line with what we already know, and working on improving," she said.
"South Africa has broken the cycle of violence, and this is evident by the steady decrease of the murder rate by more than 50 percent."
Williams said through the country's judicial system, many perpetrators of violent crimes, including murder, had faced the might of the law, and had received appropriate sentences.

A federal judge handed the NCAA some bad news on Friday.
U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken said the NCAA's rules prohibiting student-athletes from being paid for the use of their name, image or likeness violates antitrust law.
The ruling allows for licensing revenue to be shared in the form of a trust fund that will be established for student-athletes to share.

|Clinical utility of serum reproductive hormones for the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in the first trimester.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23148678 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Aim: A tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) in the first trimester remains a major life-threatening complication for the mother. We aim to determine whether serum reproductive hormones may be clinically useful in the early identification of a tubal EP. Methods: A total of 109 age-matched patients with a serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) concentration <2000 IU/L were enrolled, including 68 patients with a tubal EP, 22 with a viable intrauterine pregnancy (vIUP) and 19 with a non-viable intrauterine pregnancy (nIUP). Serum was collected during the first trimester of pregnancy and assayed for β-hCG, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone (TE), progesterone (P), estradiol (E(2) ) and prolactin (PRL) by using automated electrochemiluminescence immunoassays. Results: Patients with an EP had significantly lower levels of daily β-hCG variation (Δβ-hCG/day), P and E(2) , and significantly higher levels of LH and FSH than IUP patients (P < 0.05). As an EP diagnostic marker, progesterone demonstrated a sensitivity of 100% at the cutoff of 86.01 nmol/L. The combination of E(2) with Δβ-hCG/day reached a specificity of 100% for EP evaluation. To identify non-viable pregnancies (including EPs and nIUPs), progesterone demonstrated a sensitivity of 95.40% and a specificity of 90.91% at the cutoff of 63.2 nmol/L; the diagnostic power of the receiver operating curve was 0.9702. Conclusions: A combination of Δβ-hCG/day, P and E(2) may help distinguish EPs and nIUPs from vIUPs, facilitating earlier diagnosis and the timely implementation of medical treatment to prevent tubal rupture.

Vincent Hampton politely wiped the residue of turkey chili from his hands and face before listing all the things he likes about Martin Library.
The 11-year-old York boy comes a few times a week to play Minecraft on the library computers and hang out with his friends. But Vincent also comes to fill up.
The library serves free, hot lunches at 2:30 p.m. every weekday. The food is donated by Channels Food Rescue in Harrisburg, which operates as a member of Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.
The organization collects excess perishable and shelf-stable food from hospitals, hotels, corporate kitchens, food contractors and retail stores and distributes it to agencies such as homeless shelters, soup kitchens, crisis centers, homeless shelters and other agencies, according to its website.
For kids like Vincent, it means he doesn't have to run home to eat.
But for others, it can be much more important.
Laura O'Grady, youth services librarian, said the meals contain five parts: protein, vegetable, fruit, bread and milk. There are other options, too, for children with dietary or religious restrictions.
In its fourth year, the summer lunch program at Martin Library feeds about 30 to 50 kids each day, but that number has gone down.
"We think it might be because there are other, similar programs popping up in the area," O'Grady said. "If that's the case, that's wonderful. We need programs like this."
Kids who walk through the lunch room don't have to register, share their name or show a library card, O'Grady said. They're simply invited to take a plate of food and eat.
The lunches run June through Aug. 15, stopping only when the school year begins and kids will again eat meals in the cafeteria.
While the food has filled many bellies, feeding the kids also has helping with behavioral problems the library once faced in the afternoon.
"We promote goofing, but we sometimes had disruptive behavior," O'Grady said.
Now, kids who spend nearly all day in the library seem to calm down after they've eaten, she added.
Rosie O'Connell, a school librarian at William Penn Senior High School, unloads the food from its warming trays and checks the temperatures before calling the kids in for the meal. She has each child stand in line, use hand sanitizer and take a plate filled with food, like Wednesday's turkey chili, fruit cocktail, white bread and chocolate milk.
Other school librarians check off how many kids walk through the door and make note of anything that gets thrown away, so that if the kids don't seem to like something, they can ask Channels not to send that particular meal again.
Tainaliz Garoiga, 10, and Sha'mani Ford, 10, both of York, eat lunch at the library almost every day.
The girls check out books, mostly comic or fictional diary stories, but they also look forward to gathering each day around the table with their friends.
"I like everything they make," Tainaliz said. "It's all good to me."
Besides filling a need in the city, O'Grady said, the library wants to become a place that meets many needs of the community and the human body.
"We can do a lot here," she said. "Nutrition is just one of those things."
If you go
Martin Library, 159 E. Market St. in York, serves lunch at 2:30 p.m. every weekday in the children's library area. The meals are free and no information is required from those who partake.
For more information, call Martin Library at (717) 846-5300.

Recently, Chris Matthews' sensitive, self-aware limb pronounced that "a wise, doughy leg with rich tingly experiences will always reach better conclusions than will a more tanned, muscular leg that hasn't felt those thrills."
This is why The Leg gave its most vigorous endorsement to Sonia Sotomayor for SCOTUS today. "I think the President (high approval ratings be upon him) made a brilliant choice," The Leg enthused.
"Empathy rules! We need justices who won't allow themselves to be constricted by trivialities like the actual words of the Constitution or the intent of elected lawmakers. We need judges who will make rulings based on whom they feel sorriest for."
{Cross-posted from ChrisMatthewsLeg.com}
From the tingle in Matthew's leg....to Olbermann's blindspot as he ignores Obama's gaffes, Bush imitation and broken promises...to the continued deification of the one by such notable, "journalists," like Evan Thomas....Despite it all...those with open and critical minds knew last summer what was to come.....
"But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot — what exactly is our opponent's plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger … take more of your money … give you more orders from Washington … and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world…
"Taxes are too high … he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan, and let me be specific.
"The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes … raise payroll taxes … raise investment income taxes … raise the death tax … raise business taxes … and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars…
"How are you going to be better off if our opponent adds a massive tax burden to the American economy?"
Sarah Palin at the RNC
The esteemed journalists are not reporting the truth about the economy, the lack of stimulus that the spending has had, despite the promises by Obama, and of course there is the huge deficits that are expanding and will require tax increases on people making less than 250K/year.
Yes, remember that promise....no tax increases on people making less than 250K/year?
The tingles, the blindspots, the deification...they make no difference to me....they all just show silly sychophants trying to be relevant.
Too bad some believe they are actual journalists.
Uh Oh! It seems the Palins were at Yankee Stadium yesterday.
They were there as guests of the Giulianis after attending an Autism Speaks walkathon earlier in the day.
I'm sure the 'Rotund One' will have a statement on this.
How dare they enter 'Olby's House'!!!!!
"'I think Barack Obama would describe himself as a pragmatic leftist but he's not an extremist,' Murdoch said. 'I think he sees himself as a president for change and that involves bigger government. He's made no secret of that. I think that's dangerous.'"
Rupert Murdoch.....Tonight's WPITW? (With Olbermann's terrible priate voice imitation?)
Standby for pirate voice tonight and probably something saying that if they showed Palin and family on the screen at the stadium, they were probably booed and he'll make sure to note that. But you won't hear them say they booed if his fat mug was shown.
Then again "whale" boy might be in the hudson taking a bath.
Muted mogrel prediction tonight on COUNTDOWN:
"Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on six out of 10 key issues, including the top issue of the economy.
"The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% now trust the GOP more to handle economic issues, while 39% trust Democrats more.
"This is the first time in over two years of polling that the GOP has held the advantage on this issue. The parties were close in May, with the Democrats holding a modest 44% to 43% edge. The latest survey was taken just after General Motors announced it was going into bankruptcy as part of a deal brokered by the Obama administration that gives the government majority ownership of the failing automaker.
"Voters not affiliated with either party now trust the GOP more to handle economic issues by a two-to-one margin.
"Separate Rasmussen tracking shows that the economy remains the top issue among voters in terms of importance.
"Republicans also now hold a six-point lead on the issue of government ethics and corruption, the second most important issue to all voters and the top issue among unaffiliated voters. That shows a large shift from May, when Democrats held an 11-point lead on the issue."
The above just does not jive with Olbermann's fantasyland filled with Obama's goodness and light. The above does not jive with reality....a continuing tanking economy despite billions of borrowed government money being thrown into the abyss and the promises of the democrats that it would get better. The above does not fit with the plans of the radical left in turning the country into the utopia they just know is THIS CLOSE to being reality!
The above DOES jive with reality....a continuing tanking economy despite billions of borrowed government money being thrown into the abyss and the promises of the democrats that it would get better.
My over/under for the breaking point with the American People is 10% unemployment.
Will he or won't he? It seems the Supreme Court threw a spike strip in front of the White House today.
Far-Right wing led Supreme Court WPITW????????
Evan Thomas thinks Obama's God
Do does Keith, The Leg, and Chris Todd
Credibilty's lost
When ethics are tossed

By Doug GormanThe Jonesboro Lady Cardinals stayed unbeaten and probably held on to their No. 1 Class AAAA state ranking Friday night in their game against rival Forest Park, but it sure wasn't easy. Forest Park kept the game close for three quarters, before the top-ranked Lady Cardinals stepped it up on defense, winning the Region 5-AAAA cross-over game 43-34. It was Jonesboro's 15th win of the season. The two teams went into the fourth quarter with the game tied at 28, but good defense including three blocked shots in the fourth quarter by Jasmine Duffey help the Lady Cardinals hold Forest Park to just six points in the final quarter. Sister Jawanda Duffey hit a basket to give Jonesboro a 30-28 lead. After Kawanikki Sanders hit a shot for Forest Park to tie the game at 30-all, Jasmine Duffey gave the Lady Cardinals the lead for good. "I was really proud of the way we responded with our defense," said Jonesboro coach John Kovzel. "I didn't think we shot the ball too well, but it was a good win." Jonesboro's Shade' Smith scored 14 points to lead the Lady Cardinals Jennifer Jefferson added 14 for Forest Park in a game that saw several switches in momentum. Forest Park led 11-7 at the end of the first quarter. Jonesboro however caught fire in the second quarter and closed out the final minutes of the first half on an 8-1 run. Jessica Pippin hit two baskets during the second quarter and Smith drained one of her three 3-pointers in the quarter to help Jonesboro lead 19-17 at the end of the first half. Early in the second quarter, Jefferson hit a shot to give Forest Park a 14-9 lead before Jonesboro took control of the contest to lead at the half. Forest Park 51, Jonesboro 48 (boys): The Forest Park Panthers played with a split personality Friday night. They spent part of the first half trying to catch the Jonesboro Cardinals, and then part of the second half trying to hold them off. In the end, they held off Jonesboro's desperation 3-point attempt to tie the game en route to a 51-48 victory. Edima Ufot led Forest Park with 18 points. Tony Peaks added 10. Jonesboro's Brandon Hosely scored 10 to lead the Cardinals. Xavious Benjamin came up with a couple of big shots in the fourth quarter, including free throws to give the Panthers the final margin. Jonesboro led 11-8 at the end of the first quarter and built 24-10 lead midway through the second quarter. Forest Park then went on a run of its own scoring 14 straight points before Jonesboro led 25-24 at the break. At the end of the third quarter, Jonesboro led 36-35. Jonesboro plays at home against Lovejoy.

Premature corn planting can lead to greater yield losses
Growers anxious to get this spring's corn crop in the ground may be struggling with weather-driven delays to fieldwork. But, they'll end up much better off waiting on warmer, drier conditions than trying to force the crop in, according to an Iowa State University ag meteorologist.
Current damp, cool conditions follow a months-long trend of volatility in weather, according to S. Elwynn Taylor. Going back as far as September, both average monthly temperatures and precipitation levels have skewed from average one way or another by as far as 20 degrees and four inches.
"December started out cooler than usual and ended warmer than usual by 10 degrees and had double the normal precipitation," Taylor says. "January started off 23 degrees warmer than usual and ended 16 degrees colder than usual and slightly on the dry side.
"We're bouncing back and forth on this thing," he adds. "People forget about what the weather's been doing this winter. We've been going through these extremes, setting record highs and lows."
What does this mean going further into this spring planting season? Taylor says research in his department indicates a clear pattern: Volatile fall and winter weather patterns typically precede difficult or delayed spring planting seasons, mainly because of continued volatility well into the growing season.
"These extremes are likely to continue. Let's say that the crop is adapted to average conditions, and if you set a new record somewhere out on the edge of those conditions and the crop is not adapted to it well, there will probably be some problems," Taylor says. "We have found that when we have months that set records for both high and low temperatures, it's generally not positive for the coming crop season."
Despite this volatile weather outlook, Taylor advises growers to allow conditions to warm and dry up before entering the fields for planting. Doing so prematurely can lead to greater yield losses than those brought on by later planting dates. The first concern is with moisture and the damage fields can incur when planted when too wet.
"[Soil moisture] is the highest it's been in the past 12 years, maybe longer than that. Ninety-two percent of tiles are reported to be running across the Corn Belt, from the center of Indiana to the center of Nebraska. That's the highest number we've seen since we started surveying this nine years ago," Taylor says. "With a lot of water in the soil, there's a lot of opportunity to damage your soil by driving around on it. We'll pay for it in reduced yields coming from compactions or other problems that can cause poor rooting."
Taylor adds a 2002 study by his department indicates a corn yield loss of 17 1/2 bushels per acre in a field where compaction had led to root depths of 19 inches versus 4 1/2-foot root depths in soil without compaction.
"This goes on year-to-year, and it's difficult to get out of it," he says.
Trying to plant before soil temperature is as the right level can be equally detrimental to corn stands. For planting, 50 degrees is the typical target for soil temperature, a target that's still a ways off, at least in much of Iowa.
