Article: Cesarean Scar Molar Pregnancy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Molar pregnancy found in a cesarean scar is exceedingly rare. It can be challenging to manage and can have potentially catastrophic consequences. A 34-year-old multigravid woman presented with persistent symptoms of pregnancy after a surgical termination of pregnancy. Cesarean scar molar pregnancy was suspected on ultrasonography, and suction evacuation was performed under ultrasound guidance. This was followed by bimanual compression, oxytocin, and uterine artery embolization to reduce bleeding. A high index of suspicion is needed for early diagnosis and management of cesarean scar molar pregnancy.

ABSTRACT: An accessory ovary is a rare congenital anomaly of the female reproductive tract. This report illustrates a case of a cyst arising from an accessory ovary complicated by torsion. A 39-year-old nulliparous woman presented with lower abdominal pain and was found on physical examination to have an 8-cm mass anterior to the uterus. Ultrasonography of the pelvis showed a 9.3×6.7 cm cystic lesion with a solid component anterior to the uterus suggestive of a left ovarian cyst. Laparoscopy was performed for presumed ovarian torsion. Torsion of a tumor arising from an accessory ovary was found intraoperatively. Patients suspected to have ovarian torsion should have emergency surgery for diagnosis and attempted ovarian preservation. Physicians should consider complications of paraovarian anomalies in the differential diagnosis.

Edit: I am not yet sure if the colors are correct since I think my laptop is not giving me the correct colors anymore I'll check it again tomorrow.
The characters: Beast Boy (the cute dino), Robin, Joker (who is grumpy now), Superman, Wonderwoman, Catwoman, Batman and Maxwell's hand
Batman, Superman and Wonderwoman (being part of the big seven) appeared in the Justice League Comics www.dccomics.com/characters/ju…
Robin as part of the Dynamic Duo or the Caped Crusaders appeared in Batman and Robin comic series (sample is here www.dccomics.com/comics/batman… and the Joker also appears there (here's a sample www.dccomics.com/comics/batman…
Catwoman's first appearance is in Catwoman #1 www.dccomics.com/comics/catwom… and she is addicted to shiny objects and Batman!
and Beast Boy's first appearance is in Doom Patrol #99 dc.wikia.com/wiki/Doom_Patrol_… and also appeared in numerous Teen Titans comic www.comicvine.com/teen-titans/…
characters belong to DC and Scribblenauts to WB games and 5th Cell.
So these are some of my favorite characters from DC. I wish I could also add Flash and Hawk Girl. But oh well
I decided to make something out of "Super Power Your Imagination". The first time I saw this game, I immediately thought that the characters are like the kid forms of our wonderful superheroes. Innocent, playful and yet, eager to learn many things to save the world. That's why, in this illustration, they are enjoying their playtime while using their imagination by using boxes in making their very own Batmobile and goes to practiceas they grow and battle the villains! I wonder why the Joker is grumpy. Perhaps he really wants to be a villain Just a little iamgination from me
You know, kids are like this :')
Hope you like this!
Aaw so adorable
The dinooooooo! I want to ride on 1 of these carts pulled by a dino. >v<
The dino is liek über cute!
But why is he farting? /jk jk
Very well done, like it! :'D
he is farting because it ate so much
thank youuu <333
this is adorable
Where is Maxwell? This is super cute!!
It's only Maxwell's hand (well it's supposed to be a hand )
Thanks dear! <3

Article: Poster 205 Sonographic Evaluation of the Extensor Carpi Ulnaris in Asymptomatic Tennis Players[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective To determine the prevalence of structural abnormalities and instability affecting the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendons of asymptomatic recreational tennis players using high-resolution ultrasonography. Design Cross-sectional observational study. Setting Academic sports medicine center. Participants Twenty-six asymptomatic, recreational male and female tennis players. Methods A single, experienced operator completed bilateral static and dynamic ultrasound examinations of the ECU tendons of 26 asymptomatic, long-term, recreational tennis players ages 26-61 years (11 male, 15 female, average 24.4 + 14.2 years of tennis participation). Tendons were evaluated for tendinosis and tearing, tendon sheath effusion and tenosynovitis, and instability using a standardized scanning protocol and predetermined diagnostic criteria. Main Outcome Measurements The prevalence of static structural ECU tendon abnormalities (e.g. tendinosis, tenosynovitis, tears) and dynamic ECU instability (e.g. subluxation, dislocation). Results Thirty-nine of 52 wrists (75%) demonstrated static ECU tendon abnormalities, the most common finding being a partial thickness tear located just distal to the ulnar groove. Overall, 92% (24/26) players exhibited tendinosis or tearing in at least one wrist. Dynamic ECU instability was detected in 42% of wrists (22/52) and 91% (20/22) of the time manifested as subluxation. Only two ECU tendon dislocations were observed, both occurring in the same individual. Overall, 73% (19/26) of players exhibited ECU instability in at least one wrist. There was no relationship between static and dynamic ECU tendon abnormalities within the methodological limits of the investigation. Complete ECU tearing, tendon sheath effusion, tenosynovitis and static dislocation were not seen in any wrist. Conclusion Sonographic evidence of ECU tendinosis, partial thickness tearing, full thickness tearing, and subluxation can be seen in long-term, asymptomatic, recreational tennis players, whereas tendon sheath effusions, tenosynovitis, and tendon dislocation are uncommon. Further research is warranted to determine the clinical significance of asymptomatic ECU tendon abnormalities among long-term tennis players at multiple skill levels.
Article: Distribution Pattern of Sonographically Guided Iliopsoas Injections Cadaveric Investigation Using Coned Beam Computed Tomography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives: To investigate the distribution pattern of sonographically guided iliopsoas (IP) injections in an unembalmed cadaveric model. Methods: A single experienced operator completed 10 sonographically guided IP injections in 5 unembalmed cadaveric pelvic specimens (4 male and 1 female; ages 55-95 years; body mass indices, 15.5-27.5 kg/m(2)) using a previously described in-plane, lateral-to-medial approach short axis to the tendon. Each injection consisted of 7 mL of a 20% dilution of contrast material injected between the IP tendon and the acetabular rim using a 22-gauge, 87.5-mm (3½-in) needle. To facilitate interpretation of contrast patterns, 2 additional injections were performed on single hips: sonographically guided 14 mL contrast-latex IP injection and sonographically guided superficial IP "peritendinous" injection with 7 mL of contrast-latex. Immediately before and after each injection, fluoroscopic images were obtained with a fixed C-arm equipped with coned beam computed tomography. After each injection, radiographic images were evaluated by a board-certified, fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologist to determine injectate distribution. Specimens receiving contrast-latex injections were dissected 48 hours after injection to determine the anatomic location of the injectate. Results: Nine of 10 IP injections (90%) produced characteristic "U-shaped" flow patterns covering 50% to nearly 100% of the IP tendon circumference and resembling previously published IP bursograms. One injection was excluded because the majority of the latex was within the pectineus muscle, likely due to technical factors. Latex flowed an average of 5.3 cm (range, 0.3-7.9 cm) cephalad and 5.2 cm (range, 1.0-7.5 cm) caudad to the acetabular rim. The large-volume (14-mL) IP injection produced a similar flow pattern to the 7 mL injections, whereas the superficial peritendinous injection produced a contrast pattern consistent with intramuscular flow. Subsequent dissection confirmed bursal flow for the 14-mL injection, whereas the superficial peritendinous injection placed latex within the superficial portion of the IP muscle (ie, intramuscular). Conclusions: Sonographically guided IP injections using an in-plane, lateral-to-medial technique place injectate into the IP bursa between the IP tendon and the acetabular rim. Within the limits of this cadaveric investigation, this sonographically guided 7-mL IP "bursa" injection may provide a minimum of 50% circumferential IP tendon coverage and approximately 5 cm of cephalad and caudad flow. There does not appear to be a peritendinous space deep to the IP tendon at the acetabular rim that is both outside the bursa and amenable to sonographically guided injection. Injections into the superficial aspect of the IP using 7-mL volumes may not deliver injectate deep to the IP tendon and therefore may represent a fundamentally different injection.
Article: Posttraumatic Fat Necrosis Presenting as Prepatellar Loose Bodies in an Adolescent Football Player[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 16-year-old high school football player presented with 4 months of anterior knee pain and small, mobile prepatellar "lumps" after falling onto an opponent's cleat. He reported knee pain primarily during knee flexion and direct pressure during squatting and kneeling. Knee radiographs were unremarkable. Ultrasonography revealed multiple, freely mobile, subcutaneous nodules of variable size and echogenicity in the prepatellar region. MRI suggested possible fat necrosis, but was non-diagnostic. The patient opted for surgical exploration, at which time multiple, opalescent subcutaneous nodules were removed. Pathology was consistent with encapsulated fat necrosis. Postoperative, his symptoms resolved and he returned to sports without restrictions.

ABSTRACT: The first purpose of this investigation was to describe and validate an ultrasound-guided ischial bursa injection technique in an unembalmed cadaveric model. The second purpose was to compare the distance between the ischial tuberosity and the sciatic nerve in a hip neutral versus 90 degree flexed hip position in asymptomatic volunteers. The first part was a single blind, prospective study. The second part was a prospective cohort study. Academic institution procedural skills laboratory and outpatient clinic. The first part of the study involved one cadaveric specimen. The second part of the study involved 20 asymptomatic subjects. The mean age of the subjects was 28 years, and the mean BMI was 23.2 kg/m(2) +/- 2.8 (minimum 18.3, maximum 29.5). In the first part of the study, a single operator completed bilateral ultrasound-guided ischial bursa injections in an unembalmed cadaveric specimen using diluted colored latex. In the second part of the study, ultrasound was used in 20 asymptomatic volunteer subjects (10 males and 10 females) to measure the distance from the lateral edge of the ischial tuberosity to the sciatic nerve. The injections were graded for accuracy as follows: accurate (all injectate contained within the ischial bursa), accurate with overflow (injectate within the ischial bursa, but also located in adjacent structures other than the needle track), or inaccurate (injectate not within the ischial bursa). The second part of the study measured the distance from the ischial tuberosity to the sciatic nerve with subjects in two different positions (prone, and side-lying with the tested hip flexed to 90 degrees). Results: Post-injection cadaveric dissections revealed that both ultrasound-guided injections accurately placed liquid latex within the ischial bursae. There was no evidence of injury to surrounding neurovascular structures. Among asymptomatic volunteers, the average distance between the ischial tuberosity and the sciatic nerve increased from 28.4 mm (range 20.5-38.9 mm) in the neutral position to 41.9 mm (range 30.9-66.0 mm) with the hip flexed to 90 degrees (average change 13.5 mm away from the ischial tuberosity, p = .0001). Ultrasound-guided ischial bursa injections are technically feasible. Flexing the hip to 90 degrees increases the distance between the ischial tuberosity and the sciatic nerve in asymptomatic volunteers, thus potentially resulting in a safer needle trajectory when ischial bursa injections are clinically indicated. Further investigation in clinical settings is warranted to validate these findings.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The primary purpose of this investigation was to describe and validate sonographically guided techniques for injecting the obturator internus (OI) muscle or bursa using a cadaveric model. Methods: A single experienced operator completed 10 sonographically guided OI injections in 5 unembalmed cadaveric pelvis specimens (4 female and 1 male, ages 71-89 years with body mass indices of 15.5-24.2 kg/m2). Four different techniques were used: (1) OI tendon sheath (4 injections), (2) OI intramuscular (2 injections), (3) OI bursa trans-tendinous (2 injections), and (4) OI bursa short-axis (2 injections). In each case, the operator injected 1.5 mL of diluted yellow latex using direct sonographic guidance and a 22-gauge, 87.5-mm (3½-in) needle. Seventy-two hours later, study coinvestigators dissected each specimen to assess injectate placement. Results: All 10 OI region injections accurately placed latex into the primary target site. Two of the 4 OI tendon sheath injections produced overflow into the underlying OI bursa. Both OI intramuscular injections delivered 100% of the latex within the OI. All 4 OI bursa injections (2 trans-tendinous and 2 short-axis) delivered 100% of the latex into the OI bursa, with the exception that 1 OI bursa trans-tendinous injection produced minimal overflow into the OI itself. No injection resulted in injury to the sciatic nerve or gluteal arteries, and no injectate overflow occurred outside the confines of the OI or its bursa. Conclusions: The results of this investigation demonstrate that sonographically guided injections into the OI or its bursa are feasible and, therefore, may play a role in the diagnosis and management of patients presenting with gluteal and "retrotrochanteric" pain syndromes.

ABSTRACT: A 35-yr-old woman was referred to our outpatient clinic for a right intra-articular knee aspiration and injection. She had a medical history notable for lymphedema and morbid obesity (Fig. 1). Her body mass index was recently calculated at greater than 60 kg/m(2). She had a history of four previous nonguided knee joint injections performed elsewhere that provided no significant improvement in pain. On physical examination, it was difficult to localize common knee joint bony landmarks, including the medial and lateral borders of the patella (Fig. 2). Consequently we opted to utilize ultrasound guidance for the knee joint injection via the technique described herein.
Article: Ultrasound-guided versus Nonguided Tibiotalar Joint and Sinus Tarsi Injections: A Cadaveric Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To compare the relative accuracy rates of ultrasound (US)-guided versus nonguided ankle (tibiotalar) joint and sinus tarsi injections in a cadaveric model. Prospective human cadaveric study with injection technique randomized and accuracy assessed by skilled observers blinded to injection technique. Procedural skills laboratory in a tertiary care academic medical center. Twelve embalmed and 8 unembalmed cadavers (40 ankles) were used for this investigation. Using a predetermined randomization process, 1 ankle of each cadaver was injected with US guidance and the other without. Tibiotalar joint injections were performed via an anterior approach and sinus tarsi injections performed via an anterolateral approach. All injections were performed by the senior author using a 22-gauge, 1.5-inch needle to place 3 mL of 50% diluted blue latex solution into the target area. Two anatomists blinded to the injection technique dissected each ankle and determined injection accuracy based on previously agreed upon criteria. Injection accuracy, where an accurate injection delivered injectate within the tibiotalar joint or into the mid-portion of the sinus tarsi. The accuracy rate for US-guided tibiotalar joint injections was 100% (20/20) versus 85% (17/20) for nonguided injections. The accuracy rate for US-guided sinus tarsi injections was 90% (18/20) versus 35% (7/20) for nonguided injections. In this cadaveric study, US guidance produced superior accuracy compared with nonguided injections with respect to both the tibiotalar joint and sinus tarsi. Although further research is warranted, clinicians should consider US guidance to optimize injectate placement into these areas when optimal accuracy is necessary for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this report is to describe a new sonographically guided technique for carpal tunnel injections using an ulnar approach. Previously published sonographically guided techniques for carpal tunnel injections were reviewed. Described approaches were noted to be technically challenging because of the need to perform long-axis imaging of the carpal tunnel, short-axis (out-of-plane) imaging of the needle, or both. We developed and herein describe the ulnar approach for sonographically guided carpal tunnel injections. Advantages of this approach include transverse imaging of the carpal tunnel, long-axis (in-plane) imaging of the needle, and versatility in targeting structures within the carpal tunnel. Clinicians should consider the ulnar-sided approach when performing sonographically guided carpal tunnel injections.

Lighting The Sails
'Living Mural', Universal Everything (UK)
22 May - 8 Jun 2015
Lights from 6 pm - midnight
This year, Vivid LIVE has commissioned multi-disciplinary design collective Universal Everything to create a new projected artwork for the sails of Sydney Opera House – Vivid LIVE's most public event.
Founded 11 years ago by creative director Matt Pyke in Sheffield, England, the bold colour-friendly group have collaborated with bands (Radiohead's Polyfauna), brands (MTV), record labels (Warp), and mammoth events alike such as the London 2012 Olympics and the largest screen unveiled yet at the heart of New York's Times Square.
Threading their playful sense of discovery, anthropomorphic creation and digitally-crafted landscapes through each project, Pyke and his globally-based team continue to play with new technologies to invent new forms of design and movement – all conceived from the same back garden shed where Universal Everything began.
Here's an artist statement about the Lighting of the Sails from Universal Everything:
This commission to light the sails of Sydney Opera House epitomises the spirit of our studio - inventing new forms of moving image for emerging display technologies. Our long term passions of architecture, graphics, moving image and sound converge on this iconic building.
Although embracing emerging technologies, our process always starts from drawing. The hand drawn techniques seen in this film are akin to the early pioneers of animation Len Lye, Norman McLaren and Walt Disney.
Using these timeless techniques mean this film could have existed in 1920, albeit with a 21st century twist - bringing our influences of global pop culture, modernist graphics and physics simulations into a playful exploration of this iconic building.
Inside Sydney Opera House, we are showing a series of video artworks which share a sense of life and humanity, through our studies in choreography, observing movements in nature and the extremes of pop culture - gleaning a heart and soul from digital technologies.

The one unfortunate thing that happened to humanity is the inability to tell what would happen tomorrow. Life is unsure as and no one can predict what would really happen. The only way that one can cope up against the mishaps of life is by taking a life insurance cover.
Discount life cover is provides you the benefit of having to secure your future and that of your family. By buying a life insurance you ensure that those who you may leave behind unexpectedly are taken care of. The fears of what your family would feed on or if they would be able to complete the mortgage are completely smoothed one is armed with life insurance. You will be able to live a life of peace of mind with the knowledge that even without your presence; the lives of those you love will not be affected.
The beauty of discount life cover is that it comes at a very fair cost and added benefits. You will be able to save lots of money.
When shopping for discount life insurance, there are many institutions that offer the services, which calls on you to be more vigilant while seeking to buy a life insurance. The vigilance when shopping for discount life cover is necessitated by the fact that there are many companies who will make promises that they cannot deliver.
Below are some tips on how to identify the best insurance agent:
Find a company has served the longest. This enables you to find out the history of the services of the company from other past clients. If the services were bad, word would have spread through and this would serve as a precaution. Because life insurance is an investment that you would not be there to ensure that it is well disposed, you want to be sure about the company you are dealing with. It does not however automatically translate that the old companies would give better services than the new companies.
Look out for other benefits that would come with the purchase of the life cover. This includes the opportunity to borrow against mortgage loans and other development loans.
A good company will provide financial advisory services and legal services that would enable you make the right decisions on how to distribute your savings in future investment. It can also include how to spend the money on children and other dependants.

Seventy-four percent of the patients were happy to see the NP rather than wait up to a year to see a surgeon. Twenty-six percent said they would have preferred to have been seen by a surgeon in a conventional clinic, but of those, 77% said they would not have been prepared to wait an extra three to four months to do so.
Clinical, legal, and funding barriers in the Canadian health system prevent nurse practitioners from being fully independent when it comes to assessing and managing patients who require specialist care, notes nurse practitioner Angela Sarro, the nurse practitionerand a study co-author. She sees the potential for government-funded triage clinics led by NPs to reduce waiting times for spine consultations.
The findings have implications beyond back issues, she adds. "I feel the findings can be applied to various specialties in which the nurse practitioner has the knowledge and expertise to assess, diagnose, and recommend a plan of care for patients," Sarro tells HealthLeaders Media. "Wait times in other specialties can be long, and with more timely access to care, patients can be informed of their condition, and be provided with education and knowledge to help improve health outcomes."
In fact, Toronto Western Hospital is now assessing the potential to expand the practice of nurse practitioners being the point of contact for ongoing care of patients with a variety of conditions.
Whether the approach could be implemented in the United States or elsewhere, says Sarro, "would depend on the scope of practice that is allotted to nurse practitioners in that country based on legislation."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Best Place to Fly a Kite (2002)
Galveston East Beach
Since their invention in China, kites have been used to carry messages, to ward off spirits and as instruments of war. Their principles of aerodynamics led to the airplane. Now, they're just for sport. The city doesn't offer many spacious areas for flying, and Houston's air is relatively still. For a good wind, you've got to travel south to the beaches of Galveston, where there's nothing to slow a gust down but miles and miles of waves. That's why this is also the location of the annual International Kite Fest, where flying contraptions of canvas, silk and paper line the beach. On this shore, anchoring your kite to a good strong stake is all that's required to keep those beauties airborne -- at the festival, most are left unattended.

The crash happened around 9 this morning in the Deerfield area in the western part of the county.
Good evening I'm Jean Jadhon. We begin with new details tonight about a military plane that crashed in Augusta County. It's been hours since the crash happened and crews are still searching for the pilot. We do know that no one on the ground was injured. The jet that crashed was an Air Force f- 15-c, based in Massachussetts. The crash happened around 9 this morning in the Deerfield area in the western part of the county. That's about two hours north of Roanoke. It's been a consistent barrage of helicopters touching down and going back into the air. The search area is a twenty mile radius near Elliott Knob here in Augusta County. The location and terrain is making this operation exceedingly difficult for the search and rescue teams. Communication has been an issue since this is such a remote area. The terrain has been as issue because this is a heavily wooded area and if the pilot did eject from the plane, he would be tough to find. Search and rescue teams have been at it for nearly seven hours now. a state police spokeswoman says based on how large the debris field is and how tough the terrain is, this operation could go on a long time. We will hear from her in an update to the search tonight at 6. This

New Zealand Organ Association - Name Change
In June 2015, the New Zealand Association of Organists voted to change its name to New Zealand Organ Association.
This change was made to more accurately reflect the membership and goals of the association. Many of our members and potential members are not organists. Some are enthusiasts but not players, some are interested primarily in the music, some in the instrument, and some are organbuilders. The new name is inclusive of all these.
Over the course of the next year or so the association will be in transition to the new name, so many references exist on this website and elsewhere to the former name, the acronym NZAO, and the trading name ORGANZ..
Welcome to New Zealand Organ Association
The New Zealand Organ Association Inc.
We welcome anyone with an interest in the organ, whether a player or not, to join one of the regional organ/organists' associations in Auckland, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch and Otago-Southland. (There are also local organ groups in the Manawatu and Waikato.) The regional associations will link you into the organ community in your own area. It is also possible to join the national body (New Zealand Organ Association) directly.
This website contains a range of news and information for everyone with an interest in the organ in New Zealand and items are being added all the time. Visit it regularly to keep up with developments, such as news from the organ world, upcoming concerts and events such as our national Congress, held each year during Queen's Birthday Weekend.
Use the links on this page to contact the Regional or National Secretaries for details. Many of the menu items at left expand when clicked to show more pages under the general headings.

CPM is considered the optimal form of selling online advertising from the publisher's point of view. A publisher gets paid every time an ad is shown.
eCPM is used to measure the effectiveness of a publisher's inventory being sold (by the publisher) via a CPA, CPC, or CPT basis. In other words, the eCPM tells the publisher what they would have received if they sold the advertising inventory on a CPM basis (instead of a CPA, CPC, or CPT basis). - from Wikipedia

I REALISE MTV are just trying to get the viewers in to make money and good luck to the contestants, but I wish MTV would cut the patronising cliches.
As someone who has moved into the valleys, I know that people here are friendly, welcoming, resourceful and community-minded. Maybe MTV could reflect that or the values that made the valleys the birthplace of the NHS rather than just stereotyping a whole area negatively.
Or maybe they'd like to give our young people a more positive message than telling them they have to leave to get anywhere in life. The Valleys are Here have asked the makers of the programme to donate five per cent of their profits to charities in the valleys.
If MTV cared about our area, they'd do just that.

Mistake in C++ Chapter 2

- Hi All,
A visitor recently noticed the following sentence in the
chapter, "The not equal to operator, != . With this we could say 5 !
= 4 and get a false value." I have corrected it to the
following, "The not equal to operator, != . With this we could say
5 != 4 and get a true value because 4 is not equal to five in this
universe . . .."
Thanks for noticing,

Bassey, Pokello and IK
By Ada Igboanugo
The chase came to a halt for Bassey and Pokello two of the most popular contestants this season. While Natasha shut down Malawi's international airport for some time as her home fans came out in their numbers to receive her, Selly on the other hand was quite busy dishing out words in a press conference about her plans to sue former beau Nando for publicly demeaning her with his earlier accusations of her of gifting him with a sexually transmitted disease after their tryst.
Bassey's name was called by the one person every housemates dreads to hear from on a Sunday eviction show, IK and the Sierra Leonean went to meet him after which he was told Bimp was behind his oust and he seemed unperturbed further revealing, having been asked, that he was only being a big brother to Nigeria's Beverly and nothing romantic could possibly happen between them.
Next up was serial nominee and eviction survivor Pokello from Zimbabwe. Known for her popularity, Pokello didn't leave without planting a passionate kiss on Elikem's lips. It would have been awkward if she didn't leave dramatically, revealing later that what she felt for him was real and she wasn't being a player.
Who Saved Melvin?
Melvin had a strategy; he used it and he succeeded. After whimpering in our ears about his guilt for kicking a fellow chasemate out [like it wasn't a game] he went ahead to nominate himself, even refusing to save himself despite Biggie's suggestion to. But of course, that was the strategy. He used his emotionally innocent, purring charms to get Nigerians and Africa across to vote him to stay instead and it worked. Gleeful with pride at his success at swaying the continent, he is rest assured he is in for good. If you think I'm wrong, during the eviction, why didn't he opt to be in one of the evictee's place as a sacrificial lamb- if he really meant all the emotional crap he put up?
Beverly Gets Fingered: What else is new?
So stones have been cast, fingers pointed and ears filled with the news of Beverly being fingered and I dare ask, what is new under the sun? Is it the incessant sexual starvation the housemates portray or their very well behaved selves? I'm not defending what she did but didn't we all know it was bound to happen? At least, she didn't break the Nigerian ethical rule by going on to have sex in the house; at least not yet. This is just another Ofunneka. Let us just hope it would remain at that.
Of Fatima, Hakeem and Fake Chasemates
The duo of Fatima and Hakeem were surprised as they were sent home in a tense session. The Malawian lass Fatima scored the least votes per country and was the first housemate to be evicted. Betraying no emotions whatsoever, Fatima was shown clips of her stay in the house and chatted briefly with IK about the experience. "No drama, no drama. It's not about you, chill out!'' she reprimanded compatriot Natasha, who was about to start acting out.
On the other hand, Hunky Hakeem was the surprise eviction of the night as he wasn't nominated initially but was a victim of Melvin's save-and-replace decision. Melvin was obviously uncomfortable and inconsolable, asking God to forgive him for putting Hakeem up for eviction. Pfft! But the Zimbabwean didn't leave without revealing that he had a thing for Cleo and that it was real.
On Ghana, STDs, Natasha, Selly and What-Not
It was another eventful week in the house as the memorable events concluded with the double eviction of Selly and Natasha. After an explosive nominations session that saw former Head of House Melvin choose not to save himself, insisting instead on tasting nomination fever, Africa sent in the verdict. Melvin was still clearly distraught after his save and replace decision the previous week saw buddy Hakeem booted out unceremoniously. Ruby Head of House O'Neal had no such problems though as he promptly traded Selly for Ghanaian Elikem.
After votes were collated, Selly scored the fewest country votes and her chase came to an abrupt end. She was obviously shell shocked as Big Brother ordered her to pack her things and leave the house.
It wasn't over though as Natasha, the domestic diva from Malawi was not so lucky this time. After escaping evictions three times previously on The Chase, her time came to an end as she ended up on the short stick of the tie breaker that also involved Cleo and Pokello.
Both ladies expressed their gratitude at being given a chance to play the game and Selly went all the way to endorse Melvin as potential champion saying, he was the only guy who was totally committed to The Chase.
Former lovebirds Nando and Selly had a bitter fight that culminated in Nando using the B-word when referring to her and telling any who cared to listen that Selly had infected him with a sexually transmitted disease following their torrid tango. Selly however till this day, denies having any sexual relations with Nando.
Up for Eviction
The Trio of Sulu from Zambia, Elikem from Ghana and Anabel from Kenya are all up for eviction this week.

For two years now, we've heard Barack Obama's media allies tell us how he was somehow Not a Politician, that he was the pragmatic soul of civility who was "uniquely qualified to nudge the country toward the color purple." (So said Newsweek.) If that myth hadn't died under tons of weight to the contrary by now, it certainly should have expired in Springfield, Ill., when he selected Joe Biden as his running mate. The Democratic hatchet men were unleashed.
Obama brought the D-word to the table: The Republicans are a "disaster." The country could not suffer through "Four more years of the same out of touch policies that created an economic disaster at home. A disastrous foreign policy abroad. Four more years of the same divisive politics that's all about tearing people down instead of lifting the country up."
But the media didn't hear these words and ask how one can both hate "divisive politics that tear people down" and tell the current president he's created a giant sinkhole of a presidency that's ruining America. There's nothing wrong with good, old-fashioned smash-mouth politics -- unless you've done nothing for the last four years but build a fraudulent and sickening self-portrait as someone who would never stoop to describe another politician as a "disaster."
It's bad enough that the media want to allow the Democrats to look above the fray while they are hitting below the belt. But it's beyond irresponsible that they remain silent when Democrats purposely promote untruths. When Biden spoke, here's one of his applause lines: "We can't afford four more years of a government that does nothing while they watch the housing market collapse."
What? Biden can't remember the headlines from July 30, when President Bush signed an expensive housing-bailout bill (the media called it a "housing rescue") after Congress -- i.e., Sen. Biden -- quickly convened on legislation? CNN crowed: "The new law, one of the most far-reaching on housing in decades, marks the centerpiece of Washington's efforts to address the nation's housing meltdown." But on CNN, there was no fact checking on Biden's rank dishonesty.
Biden suggested he was literally Joe Lunchbox: "Ladies and gentlemen, your kitchen table is like mine, you sit there at night after you put the kids to bed and you talk. You talk about what you need. You talk about how much you're worried about being able to pay the bills. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's not a worry John McCain has to worry about. It's a pretty hard experience. He'll have to figure out which of the seven kitchen tables to sit at."
Bush mocks Rubio and his fans: Stop whining that it's "unfair" that you're being attacked by another candidate's Super PAC | Allahpundit

Objectivity and Ethics in Environmental Health Science
Wing, Steve, Environmental Health Perspectives
During the past several decades, philosophers of science and scientists themselves have become increasingly aware of the complex ways in which scientific knowledge is shaped by its social context. This awareness has called into question traditional notions of objectivity. Working scientists need an understanding of their own practice that avoids the naive myth that science can become objective by avoiding social influences as well as the reductionist view that its content is determined simply by economic interests. A nuanced perspective on this process can improve research ethics and increase the capacity of science to contribute to equitable public policy, especially in areas such as environmental and occupational health, which have direct implications for profits, regulation, legal responsibility, and social justice. I discuss research into health effects of the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA, as an example of how scientific explanations are shaped by social concepts, norms, and preconceptions. I describe how a scientific practice that developed under the influence of medical and nuclear physics interacted with observations made by exposed community members to affect research questions, the interpretation of evidence, inferences about biological mechanisms in disease causation, and the use of evidence in litigation. By considering the history and philosophy of their disciplines, practicing researchers can increase the rigor, objectivity, and social responsibility of environmental health science. Key words: cancer, chance, dose reconstruction, environmental justice, epidemiology, ionizing radiation, research ethics, significance testing, Three Mile Island. Environ Health Perspect 111:1809-1818 (2003). doi:10.1289/ehp.6200 available via http://dx.doi.org/[Online 19 June 2003]
In politics, policy, and law, science has emerged as an alternative to folk traditions, religion, and superstition as a way to understand and manipulate the material world. The value and prestige of the sciences derive not only from their erudition, explanatory power, and applied technology but from their perceived objectivity. A common view among scientists and lay persons alike is that scientific objectivity is a consequence of standardized methods of quantitative observation and experimentation. The scientific method, by removing subjectivity and social influence, yields knowledge that is ostensibly trustworthy and objective.
Despite the persistence of this view, historians, philosophers, and scientists themselves have shown that it does not provide an adequate account of the production of scientific knowledge (Harding 1991; Holtzman 1981; Hubbard 1990; Kuhn 1970). There are several reasons why method cannot remove social influences from science. First, the content and methods of science are formed in relation to answering questions or testing hypotheses that are socially embedded. Second, scientific explanation requires language, concepts, and models that are cultural products. Although all sciences expend considerable effort to rationalize concepts and terminology, these tools of inquiry are inevitably shaped and transformed by historical forces. Therefore, scientists cannot even see the world, much less provide explanations of its workings, without a socially formed perspective. Ironically, the belief that science could attain objectivity through independence from social forces places science in the role of a religion's omniscient God (Harding 1991). The illogic of the naive view of scientific objectivity has been described in physics, genetics, and epidemiology, as well as in mathematics and statistics (Armstrong 1999; Hubbard 1990; Keller 1992, 1995; Kuhn 1970; Levins 1979; Levins and Lewontin 1985).
The reluctance of scientists to acknowledge the shaping of their work by social forces and their ongoing avowal of science as value-flee can be viewed as a self-serving argument against public oversight (Keller 1995). …

Polaroids, Photographs, and Films: Re-Viewing Andy Warhol's Work in the Age of Social Media and Self Curating
February 13 – March 26, 2016
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 13 / 4-7 pm
Curator Mario Ontiveros Talk: Monday, February 15 / 10 am
Although Andy Warhol is known as one of the United States' premiere Pop artists, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to view his work beyond the frame of a silkscreen print, and in a lesser-known light as a photographer, and an even more vastly different lens as a filmmaker. This exhibition will include more than sixty of Warhol's Polaroids and black-and-white photographs and will also include two of Warhol's long films, Sleep (1963), which clocks in at six hours, and Empire (1964), which has a running time of eight hours and five minutes. Time, clearly, is an essential element to Warhol's practice.

Arrives completely assembled! Carolyn from Oakland, CA on 05/05/2015 – Verified Buyer
I have purchased other Steelcase chairs and have never been disappointed - the same for the Cobi. Unlike other drafting chairs that I have tried, this chair has a wide range of seat heights that allow me to use the chair as a comfortable desk chair as well a drafting chair so I now have two chairs in one. It is an attractive, well-constructed chair that I would classify as a "medium" size chair. I appreciate the depth of the seat as it allows me to sit back and maintain better posture, even in the drafting position. It is not an inexpensive chair, but the quality is evident and makes the chair worth the cost.
The quality extends to the casters - I ordered the standard casters, thinking that the difference would be negligible, but for a hard surface it would better to have the appropriate casters to keep from sliding across the room!

Politics: Take No Prisoners, Ambush 'em All
Is Jorge Gonzalez's Petty, Vindictive Side Showing?
Somebody – we don't know who – called State Attorney Rundle's office just before last Christmas to tattle that Jonah Wolfson and Deede Weithorn may have conspired to fire the Miami Beach city manager in violation of the Sunshine Law, privately discussing a matter that should have remained within public purview.
Somebody – we don't know who – is behind recent anonymous robocalls to Beach residents spotlighting that allegation against Wolfson and the SAO's probe of it.
"How familiar are you," a woman's voice asks on the recording, "with the confirmed public corruption investigation into Miami Beach Commissioner Jonah Wolfson for criminal violations of Florida's open government laws?"
Somebody doesn't like Jonah Wolfson. Now, who might that somebody be?
Might it be Jorge Gonzalez, whose future is on the line at the March city commission meeting? Wolfson told the Miami Herald last month that he thinks it's Gonzalez, or Mayor Bower, or their emissaries.
If it's Gonzalez, then however one supposes it, the city manager is either desperately trying to save his 12-year-long tenure from being rudely, abruptly terminated, or, deep in the recesses of his mind, has privately conceded defeat, doubts he'll be able to salvage his job when the commission votes on whether to retain him, and, so, has resolved not to go quietly and calmly without taking his avowed enemies – notably Wolfson – down with him.
If these are Gonzalez's last days and weeks in office and he's indeed on his way out, he may have opted to throw caution and diplomacy to the wind and go out with guns ablazin', daring to take out any opponent or naysayer in his path, no matter that such tactics may mar his nearly squeaky-clean image and respectable reputation as a competent, no-nonsense – and ruffle-few-feathers-as-possible – municipal administrator.
Some strongly suspect that it is indeed the city manager whose fingerprints are on the uncharacteristically vindictive campaign to smear Wolfson and Weithorn, who introduced and seconded, respectively, the resolution to fire him.
They suspect Gonzalez has been ensconced in his fourth floor office, broodingly conniving to tarnish with a wide brush dipped in mud those who believe it's sunset time for him at City Hall and want to draw the curtain down, finally, on The Jorge Show.
"Nonsensical political terrorism," Wolfson called it last week. Whomever's behind the SAO complaint and the robocalls has a vested interest in either politically assassinating Wolfson or championing the city manager – or both.
And if the Wizard behind the curtain pushing and pulling the gears in this big stink is the city manager himself, he should beware: Aiming his mud gun at opponents like Wolfson and Weithorn may succeed at shoring up his strength and better positioning him for next month's vote on his future. But slinging mud also guarantees that – should he hold on to his job – he will find it more difficult to work with and hold the confidence of the people at whom he slung that mud.
If this mean-spirited strategy toward his opponents has any lasting impact at all, it may be in introducing what so many Beach residents observe in other South Florida communities (North Bay Village and North Miami, to name but two) but thank their blessings is largely absent from Beach City Hall: acrimonious backbiting and backstabbing among their local elected officials.
Turn petty and vindictive toward others with whom you must share the dais, Mr. City Manager, and you may regret it. You may end up keeping your job, but at what cost? If you're no longer able to govern in a spirit of collegial camaraderie, would it even be worth keeping? Why would you still want it?
The FCC laid down the law on them last week. No longer can telemarketers robocall us without our expressed, written consent.
Hope Jorge or that "somebody" who's been making those anti-Wolfson robocalls has taken note of this. Wouldn't want yet another law enforcement agency dragged into probing possible wrongdoing by a city official, thanks to the ethical clumsiness of "somebody" and his or her ignorance of the law, now would we?
A month ago, ailing JC Penney, on the cusp of a revamp, debuted its new marketing campaign with a TV commercial of people, one after the other, screaming (It "almost caused me to step on my 9-month-old puppy sprinting to hit the mute button," one complainer wrote in to pissedconsumer.com. "I hope JC Penney goes down in their sales" because of it, bitched another.).
Around the same time came another ad, Volkswagon's dogs barking out the Star Wars Darth Vader theme, which I found just as annoying and pointless. I don't like to hear barking dogs, period. Thirty non-stop seconds of it?
Currently, there's that damn teenaged dweeb sitting on the staircase, warbling to his girlfriend over the phone that she's a "better listener" in a voice you typically only hear from an American Idol reject before they're shown the exit. Net 10, a wireless service provider, is getting plenty of gripes for that one, and deservedly so. A cursory scan of consumer sites shows that their stupid TV spot is the least of their concerns: seems an inordinate number of consumers just plain hate their service.
What's with Madison Avenue lately? Why this need to annoy us? Why must it take sitting through a 30-second spot (which I'd rather not) of contrived annoyance to discover only in the last seconds what goddamn product or service it is they're hawking to us?
And can they please just pitch whatever it is to us minus the annoying gimmicks? Commercial interruptions, many of us find, are annoying enough without having to be more so.
With every week that passes in this GOP presidential race, someone else is up in the polls, another is down. This week has been Santorum's. National polls show he's inched ahead of Wrongney ahead of the critical Michigan primary, which is if nothing else a must-win for Team Wrongney, a once-invincible juggernaut that looks more and more like a deflating balloon.
And Gingrich? Hah! What happened to him? Did he just disappear from the radar screen in the wake of Santorum's rise?
Not that this year's contingent of aspirants (remember Cain? Perry? Bachmann?) was ever an admirable one to begin with – with the exception of Jon Huntsman – but you mean to tell me the GOP nomination has come down to these four remaining dumbshits?
– A crazy old coot who hasn't won one contest so far, appeals only to an idealistic slither of the GOP electorate, and never appears to be campaigning in any state whose contest is imminent but rather in states whose contests are not? (Where was he in the days leading up to Florida's?)
– A bloated, highfalutin windbag – a walking, talking contradiction to the moral values he espouses – who sounds great in debates when he's throwing red meat to the GOP crowds, but who hasn't a prayer of a chance against Obama and frightens away any voter who isn't a rabid reich-winger or Tea Party wingnut?
– A starched-collared, sweater-vested, holier-than-thou, "family values" moralist (also, no chance against Obama) whose extremist, misogynistic, homophobic take on social issues makes the odious likes of Phyllis Schlafly and Jerry Falwell come off positively palatable in comparison? And,
– An out-of-touch-with-the-average-American, patrician snob propelled by an all-too-obvious, to-the-manor-born ambition for the high office, with no discernible core convictions on any issue in which there wasn't some point in his past a time when he staked out a polar opposite stance from the one on which he now stands, whose positions come across as overly test-marketed by campaign handlers as his hair is perfectly combed, and who, every time he tries (unconvincingly) to tout how "severely conservative" he really is, only provokes howls, smirks, and disinterest from among GOP voters, an alarmingly large swath of whom lack any passion at all for the guy?
I can't recall the last time a Republican race for the White House came down to such a drab, pathetic collection of misfits – well, there's 2004, of course, when Shrub ran unchallenged. (In honor of the late Molly Ivins, I've borrowed her irreverent nickname for 43.)
And so I return to Santorum, who may be tops in the polls this week, but nonetheless is richly deserving of this week's (dis)honorary roll of t.p. for his asinine comment assailing Obama's "phony theology," even though, in a defense to Face the Nation's Bob Schieffer that strained credulity, The Rick attempted to explain it away as having been – what else? – taken out of context and not really at all a criticism of the president's Christian faith but of his liberal ideology (Oh, really, Rick? Just what the fuck is your definition of "theology" anyway? Get thee to a Merriam-Webster's. Please!).
Oh, but that's not all that has come out Santorum's careless, thoughtless piehole in recent weeks.
There's his equally-neanderthalic comment that rape victims who become pregnant should "make the best of a bad situation."
He said that even if his own daughter became pregnant after being raped he would still urge her to carry through with the pregnancy and have the child.
It's a pity the Santorum girl can't wish for some sort of reverse abortion upon her dad.
But I'll say this for The (P)Rick: I like his "Rombo" TV spot a lot. Maybe you've caught it. A Wrongney look-a-like goes after a cardboard cutout of Santorum, futilely firing rounds of mud at it before soiling his own shirt with backfired mud. It's hilarious. You can see it for yourself – and as repeatedly as you like to your delight – at www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtOcrS6axnE
Now that's a commercial I don't find annoying. Make more of that kind, will ya?

Good Concept

Having a coat with two leg holes is so much better than one with four. Easier to put on, and easier on the dog.
Pros: good concept
Cons: none

PartSelect Number PS452429
This one piece dishwasher door gasket provides a water tight seal to keep water from leaking out of your dishwasher.
This part works with the following brands: Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan & White-Westinghouse.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Level of DifficultyEasy
Time to do repair:15 - 30 mins
CustomerDarren from Biddeford, ME
First I noticed that the old gasket had disintergrated along the bottom. Next I removed the the gasket being careful to observe how it was installed. There are these notched areas of the gasket that belong in the lower corners. I think the notches are designed to help hold the gasket in place and make the gasket bend around the corner. The gasket made closing the door very hard at first but after one wash cycle the fit became much more comfortable. The heat probably made the gasket more pliable. Problem solved.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Level of DifficultyReally Easy
Time to do repair:Less than 15 mins
ToolsScrew drivers
CustomerRandy from Orlando, FL
My door spring had broken and I was going to leave it until the door gasket failed and started leaking. After removing the parts, I got on-line and order what I needed. I found everything easier than I thought. I got the parts a few days later and put the gasket in first. Looking at it, you'll find theres slotted ribs at both ends. Those areas go in the bottom corners because of the "S" curve. Simply push in and voila, you're done. At first the door will be firm to shut, but gets better- NO LEAKS! As far as the door spring...you don't have to remove the whole dishwasher. Simply unscrew the bottom plate under the door and reach in, rehook. Piece of cake. This site is wonderful. All the parts and easy to use.
CustomerAllen from Madison, OH
Partselect.com was great to deal with, they emailed me information letting me know items were shipping with tracking numbers.ordered on wed. received on Sat!Springs were very easy, just put dishwasher on its side and hook to the holes in the botom of dishwasher!The door gasket just slid into the grooves that were around the door.Everything works great now!Partselect.com was great to deal with
CustomerAlejandro from Lake in the Hills, IL
I ordered a new door gasket, wich is not very common for these type of dishwasher anymore, I installed it in less than 15 minutes. I turned the machine on fully loaded and the machine did not leak a single drop. It save me a bundle since I was considering buying a new dishwasher. THANK YOU!!
CustomerAlejandro from Crystal Lake, IL
Very easy fix, it's the second time I ordered this perticulsr part and it once again prolonged the life of this dishwasher for just a few dollars. The door seal arrived in just a few very short days and was easily installed with no tools in less than 10 minutes. The web site made locating, ordering, and paying for the part needed extremely once again. Thanks

Our Jail by suburbanclicheWatch
©2011-2016 suburbancliche
Being in the closet, is worse than being in jail.
Society holds the key. Only because we let them.
Society holds the key. Only because we let them.
If being in the closet was worse then being in jail, people wouldn't stay in the closet to avoid getting put in jail for homosexuality. Find a better quote.
uhhh.... no, it's not. I've been in jail.
Yep same with me, like it sucks being a prisoner of bias.
I feel your pain >.< I'm a bisexual girl, so I'm not sure if it's called "in the closet" for girls, but still. Awesome quote, too
What else would it be called? I'm pretty sure it's gender neutral
Amazing quote! I LOVE it! ^^ <3
Well thank you! I find it to be painfully true >.<
Yeah me too :/ It's really hard... how is it going for you?
Coming out? Well, I've told a few friends. You?
Yeah, okey, I've also told a couple of my closest friends and they took it great ^^ I've also told my famiy, but I'm not sure if they understand that I only "like" guys... I'm planning to tell the rest of my friends and yeah... the world, but it's really hard :/
It really is. I'm envious if your courage to tell your parents. I know every situation is different, but parents are always hard to break the news to. When did you know?
yeah, I've read about your problem telling your parents, I'm so suffering with you!
My first "feeling" I think I had when I was 10 years old, but I wasn't "sure" untill i was like 14.
how about you!?
My first "feeling" I think I had when I was 10 years old, but I wasn't "sure" untill i was like 14.
how about you!?
true that
Gosh I feel you. I've only came out to a few people and it was really hard, but I know I can't come out to any one else or I would lose them, but I feel terrible being in the closet.
I've only told 4 people. It's so hard figuring out who you can trust, and who even deserves to know. Good luck, darling.
Thanks, and I've only told 4 people too. It's terrible because I like my best friend, but I've heard her say she doesn't 'believe' in gays *sigh*
so true. i feel you bro.
its sad in many ways, and i also respect anyone who cames out of our self-locked prison fully...
its sad in many ways, and i also respect anyone who cames out of our self-locked prison fully...
I knoow it feels, especially aorund fmaily. you cant feel like you can join in any conversationd. And its awkurad for me when girls tlak about fellas to me. Even worse when they ask me if I have a boyfriend, I just wanna scream it out 'NOOO i like girllssss!' you feel like a prisoner. no wander many lesbians and gays are so shy
The worst part is that we allow ourselves to be in that prison. WE hold the key, WE can come out, but fear and pressure hold us down. I have the utmost respect and honor for anyone that comes out completely.
Hell ya.
It's so true!
OMG I love that quote, did you come up with it?
yes i did
Nice! Can I use it?
Omg, sure! In what?
umm, idk, I might do a typo or something

Reaching Desperately on the "clay" no bad habits?
I think Fendi is worth a flyer, but people who are justifying the pick due to 'no bad habits' or can be molded from raw clay are just plain crazy. With that logic you should pick a person with a strong arm who's never played QB (how about just drafting baseball players with 95 an hour fastballs), track stars who are fast and agile (we know how often that works out - the most recent bust is Nehemiah), or big Greco Roman wrestlers who never played football. All of them would have the raw physical skill and "no bad habits".
Football is a game where intangible and knowledge grown over many years matter. Things like lowering your pads, knowing how to take a hit, how to explode, seeing a hole opening up, not flinching when a strong safety is ready to take your head off.
I hope Fendi works out, but please stop these 'raw is good' arguments.
