The Leica V-Lux 3 Digital Camera puts creativity in your hands, with the venerable name of Leica to back it up. A 12.1Mp CMOS sensor and the 24x optical zoom Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 4.5-108mm ASPH. lens work together to provide beautifully detailed images. The lens travels the spectrum of focal lengths from 25mm wide angle to 600mm super-telephoto - making it a versatile zoom lens, able to capture your vision in any shooting situation. Additionally, the Power OIS image stabilizer ensures that no matter what you're shooting your images will be clean, even when shooting handheld.
The V-Lux 3 shoots still images in JPEG or RAW image files. The photographer can choose from program, aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual on the mode dial. Additional focusing modes like macro, macro zoom, and AF tracking are an option for shooting stills; metering modes such as multi-field, center-weighted, and spot can be chosen from. ISO ranges from 100-3200 and a wide range of shutter speeds give you the flexibility you need to capture the images you desire. Of course, 1920 x 1080/60p high definition videos can be made using the V-LUX 3, as well.
The V-Lux 3 utilizes a 3.0" LCD monitor for composition and playback. The camera also has a color LCD viewfinder with an adjustable diopter to set the viewfinder for your vision. The built-in flash provides a number of setting options, while the hot shoe enables connection of an external flash as well. A mic or remote can be connected to the V-Lux 3 via the 2.5mm mic jack for recording high-quality audio with video or hands-free shooting, respectively.
The camera uses SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards for storing your images and videos, and has an additional 70MB internal memory. Other highlights include a self-timer, burst shooting modes for up to 60 consecutive shots per second, and an HDMI out for a one-cable connection to your HDTV. Additionally, the V-LUX 3 comes with a free download of Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements for photo and video editing on your computer.
- The Ideal Camera For Every Situation
- With a Leica V-Lux 3, your creative freedom is boundless. Its 24x super-telephoto zoom makes capturing sweeping landscapes just as easy as bringing even the smallest details into the foreground. Thanks to its newly developed 12.1-megapixel CMOS image sensor, the camera captures images in exceptional quality. At the same time, the video capability of the V-Lux 3 allows the recording of moving pictures in full-HD quality
- Extreme Range of Focal Lengths
- What makes the V-Lux 3 so special is its 24x super-telephoto zoom lens. This Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 1:2.8-5.2/4.5-108mm ASPH. lens has an enormous range of focal lengths covering the spectrum from a 25mm wide angle to a 600mm super-telephoto lens. On the one hand, its 25mm wide angle setting enables photographers to strongly emphasis perspectives, while on the other hand, its 600mm telephoto setting captures pin-sharp details of objects even at extremely long distances - even when shooting handheld, thanks to the efficiency of its Power OIS image stabilizer. If you like to shoot landscapes, architecture, sport, travel, portraits or wildlife, the flexibility of its lens makes the V-Lux 3 the ideal camera for every situation
- Exceptional Image Quality
- The newly developed 12.1-megapixel CMOS image sensor guarantees the exceptional image quality of the Leica V-Lux 3. It ensures that images are almost totally free of noise - even under adverse lighting conditions and when using high-sensitivity settings. With its high contrast range and natural, perfectly saturated colors, the V-Lux 3 sets entirely new standards in its class - for still pictures and video alike
- Video in Full-HD Quality
- The V-Lux 3 captures full-HD video in AVCHD format with 1920 × 1080 pixels and 60 full frames per second. This 1080/60p video format not only guarantees the perfect rendition of fast movement in outstanding detail, but is also ideal for conversion to alternative resolutions and refresh rates. For instance, conversion to MP4 format, which can be quickly and conveniently transferred for use on mobile devices and the Web without any further conversion. An integrated stereo microphone with a wind-noise filter ensures outstanding audio quality. A deletion option for individual sequences means that editing can begin in the camera without having to download the data to a software-based editing suite
- Sensationally Fast
- Speed has the utmost priority in the V-Lux 3. The autofocus system reacts in less than a tenth of a second and reliably captures fast-moving subjects. The continuous-shooting rate is also impressive. The V-Lux 3 delivers consecutive burst shooting at a rate of up to 12 frames per second, even at full resolution; at a reduced resolution of 3.5 megapixels it manages a fantastic 60 frames per second. Users will capture every action and important moment, even when shooting sports or wildlife

Much of the book is just case after case. Murphy briefly summarizes the facts of the case, quotes from the majority opinion, and from dissenting opinions. Often it turns into a battle of cutting footnotes, as the justices answer and sometimes belittle each others opinions. There is very little about the hearings here. It's all about the rulings.
This can be a bit dry, but the author effectively shows the evolution of the court, how everyone's positions slowly shift, and makes clear the differing rationales at work. There are plenty of quotations from Scalia at different points in his career, eloquently and convincingly arguing for evolving philosophy of originalism. There are also plenty of quotations from other people pointing out limitations of the theory, and plenty of examples of Scalia putting his foot in his mouth, and inconsistencies and self-contradictions are relentlessly pointed out.
The book left me feeling like I had a good idea of the balances of powers and ideological conflicts that have shaped the modern supreme court.
Instead of structuring this as a chronological biography of Ferdinand Pecora, the author focuses on the first ten days of Pecora's investigation of City Bank's misbehavior during the early years of the Great Depression. But he pads it out with a huge number of digressions, partly to supply the backgrounds of all the major players, partly to tell two parallel stories that where happening at the same time, and magnified the impact of Pecora's investigation - the collapse of banks nationwide, and the preparation of president-elect Franklin Roosevelt to pick up the reigns of government from Herbert Hoover. There is a lot of detail, some rather dry, some quite amusing, and it all comes together to tell the story quite effectively and reasonably impartially.
The investigatory committee was chaired by a Senator who knew a great deal more about well-drilling than finance, and his selection of a little known Italian-American lawyer as council baffled a nation that believed that all Italian-Americans were gangsters. They were up against Sunshine Charlie Mitchell, the highly respected leader of one of the nations most powerful banks. And they took him carefully to pieces, showing how City Bank had betrayed its stockholders and customers en mass to pad the pockets of its executives. Against the backdrop of banks collapsing nationwide, this focused the anger of all America, and with a new president taking over just days later, opened an opportunity of instituting a broad slate of new laws regulating the financial industry, including the creation of the SEC, the FDIC and the Glass-Steagall regulations.
So if you've seen protesters during the recent financial crisis with signs saying "Where is our Ferdinand Pecora?" this is the book that explains what they mean. Alas, no new Ferdinand Pecora ever actually showed up, but, then, neither did the other conditions that made all the difference in 1933.

Creepy part…no not the blinking eyes but wondering if it's a woman or man underneath that costume. You've seen the Philippine Prisoner videos so you dam well know that some dude could be in that costume.

He's retiring on paper, not in spirit
By: Sara Seyydin Journal Staff Writer
Athletic Director Monte White steps down after 24 years at Del Oro
Editor's Note: Sports reporter Sara Seyydin caught up with Del Oro athletic director Monte White to interview him about his time as an educator at Del Oro High School. Their conversation follows. Position: Currently the Athletic Director. White also been an assistant principal, teacher and coach. Years spent at Del Oro: 24 What is one of your favorite memories at Del Oro? The deal is I love working with our youth. The hardest part is knowing that I won't have the opportunity to be involved with kids on a daily basis anymore. To pick one fond memory of all of them would be impossible. Countless kids have impacted my life. It happens everyday — where you say that was just a special memory. How have you seen Del Oro change in the years you have been there? The size of the school is making us work harder and harder to make every kid feel as if they are important on our campus. One of the strengths of Del Oro is that the staff cares so much about the kids and not letting the kids slip through the cracks. When I started there were about 1,000 kids and now it's at around 1,700, which doesn't sound like a big difference, but the staff really hasn't grown. We are working to get every kid involved at Del Oro. Everybody needs to be involved with the heartbeat of Del Oro. What is one athletic team has inspired you and why? I'm going to be very specific. I'm going to hit on a particular coach. Jen Isaac, who is incredible at teaching life skills, watching her daily and teaching the kids life skills through tennis. It's about enriching kids' lives and making them better people. It's an amazing thing to watch her operate. The feedback comes from the students directly. I'm glad not every coach is like Jen Isaac because then maybe we wouldn't appreciate how special she is, but on the same token we wish we had a whole closest-full of Jen Isaacs. For longevity Mike Takayama. He has 26 years of impacting kids lives. There are so many great coaches, it's hard to pick one. What is one legacy you hope to leave from your time at Del Oro? I really hope that if anything else, we put at the number one of everybody's goal in their program is to create an enriching experience for the kids that supersedes any wins and supersedes any championships. I believe when you have those experiences winning will be a by-product of those experiences, but it doesn't work the other way around. What are you looking forward to about retirement? When you go a thousand miles an hour it's difficult to pull over and put the break on. My plan was to do absolutely nothing for a few years. It looks like I may be back in the mix coaching a sport. There is a very good I chance I could be the JV water polo coach in the fall with my daughter. The juices are flowing. It would be so much fun doing this. It's in my blood. People have said it's your calling. You can't fight your calling. I'm not going to be in a boat fishing and I'm not going to be on a golf course. It's still absolutely fun and inspiring to work with kids. I am afraid of dying and wishing I had done more for other people. As other people throw their keys on the desk, I'm trying to find out how to keep mine. The rewards are just unending. I have been blessed to it. Most of my tears have been of joy. What other things are you and your family interested in? I met my wife at Tahoe. It was one of those deals where we both had this incredible love for Lake Tahoe and taught up there. When she retires in three years we plan to move back up there. My daughters are both in education. We are all kind of in this family thing of Lake Tahoe and teaching and loving life. If I'm not here, we like to get to Lake Tahoe as much as possible. What has been the most difficult thing you have faced as an educator ? Just believing in kids and that kids have so much to offer. I have rarely ever not believed — that even in spite of kids' shortcomings, they are all good kids. Kids don't all cross the finish line at the same time. We have to continue to believe in them until the bitter end. We expect so much of them and expect more every year. It's easy for them to get frustrated. When we see kids years later we finally see the pay off. We are in the business to take care of youth. Dn't give up on them. Which of your personal accomplishments at Del Oro have brought you the most joy? I think we are continuing to educate our coaching staff to be better leaders and mentors. I see that reflected in the kids as they continue to participate and the fact that the number of kids participating in sports continues to climb. We're trying to do a better job of our academic expectations for our kids. We have really increased how often we check on grades to keep the kids accountable. Kids in athletics score a higher GPA than kids not involved in athletics. We really feel strongly that we need to be student athletes. We started up the athletic hall of fame. That was really major for us. And a brand new thing we are really excited about to start next year is the Women's Athletic Club. We have formed a club to empower our gals — not only in athletics, but to be powerful woman. We have done an incredible amount of work improving our facilities. The better the facilities, the better kids feel about themselves. What were your original goals? Have they changed? Survive. I used to talk about the job of being a facilitator and assisting everybody to become better coaches and help the kids be successful — just doing everything I can for everybody to be successful. The more we accomplish this the more I think there is still so much work to be done. Who is the incoming athletic director and why did you choose him? It's Justin Cutts. Justin has been a teacher and coach at Del Oro High School and operated as the assistant principal at the adult school. He is going to come on as the athletic director and dean of students. He is going to be tremendous. They have chosen somebody who will be really good at it. He has great leadership qualities and was a successful coach. He kind of fits all of it. What advice do you have to offer the new athletic director? Continue to be proactive and take a proactive role in everything. Make sure all the programs feel they are the most important program on the campus and make sure every student athlete feels they are the most important athlete. Find a way to raise a lot of money. With the new budget constraints, what will his challenges be? Convincing our parents that there is no money tree in the back yard and that we all have to contribute to our athletic programs. Truly between the district and the site, the money isn't there, and there is no free ride from anybody. Reach Sara Seyydin at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gunk on leaves
There is this fuzzy gunk collecting on the leaves of my plants. Are these beneficial bacteria or just gunk collecting on them? Should I gently scrub them off or leave it?
I also noticed the gunk is growing on the exposed roots, sand surface, driftwood, and castle decor. It looks a little bit like fungus
This is a form of algae. Algae can be dealt with by balancing the light and nutrients so plants out-c ompete the algae. To work this out, we will need some data.
Light: type, watts, etc. Duration each day. And tank size.
Nutrients: What fertilizers are you using, and how much/often?
Water Changes: How often and how much of the tank volume?
Plant species.
In a 10 gallon tank:
Lighting is a full spectrum fluorescent bulb. I don't know exact details of the bulb itself but the fixture says 120volts 19watts 20". My window faces east so when the sun comes up it gets alot of indirect light so I turn on the light fixture at noon when the sun is over the house. I then leave it on till about 6pm, about 6 hours. The sun sets around 7pm in which the tank goes into total darkness for the next 12 hours.
I am using API Leafzone 5ml a week after water changes. This is the only fertilizer I use, no root tabs or anything. The plants are rooted in sand substrate and driftwood.
I change the water once a week and have been doing 30-40%.
I have 2 Anubias barteri broad leaf. 5 water wisterias. A small bunch of cryptocyrnes and a moss ball.
This should be easy to fix. Anubias is a shade plant, so getting some floating plants will probably solve it. I would also consider a different fertilizer. API LeafZone only has iron and potassium, but plants need 15 other nutrients. And an excess of iron can bring on this algae. Seachem's Flourish Comprehensive Supplement is what I use; it is more expensive (I think) but you use so very little--in your 10g about 1/4 tsp a week--so it lasts much longer.
Everything else sound fine.:-)
I can't really tell from the pictures but that almost looks more like a sediment issue. Perhaps there is food settling on the leaves and this is just from decomposition. Does it rub off easily?
I had something very similar in a plant only tank that I just cleaned off yesterday. The filter was not running so stuff from my extensive landscaping last week (new substrate) settled and just needed to be rubbed off.
Oh, ditto Byrons comments about the fertilizer.
That makes sense if it is decomposing food. Now that you mention it, the fuzz is mostly just on the areas uneaten food falls on. I am having an issue with feeding flakes. The frog finishes all his pellets but the hob filters surface current rotates the flakes around too much for the fish to eat and most of it gets pushed under the water. I don't know what to do about that
Feed with the filter off. Or if you can feed in an area where the surface doesn't move as much... but it's not a large tank.
I picked up some seachem prime and flourish comprehensive. I am feeling good about the seachem brand. Should I be refrigerating them since such a tiny amount is used and I got a large bottle to last longer?
I also picked up some water sprites! They were hard to find. Will they do best floating or can I root them in the fine sand substrate I have?

A murder charge was filed Friday against a wanted Riverside County man accused of killing his girlfriend and leaving her body inside a suitcase at a Poway motel room.
Joseph Dorsey, 27, of Lake Elsinore, is accused in the death of 47-year-old Christine Stewart of Canyon Lake, whose body was discovered Wednesday about 2 p.m. at the Best Western Country Inn on Poway Road, said John Hall, spokesman for the Riverside County District Attorney's Office.
Evidence indicates that the 5-feet-2-inch, 100-pound woman had been in Dorsey's apartment before being killed and then was taken to the hotel in a large rolling suitcase approximately 3 feet long and 18 inches wide, Hall said.
On Wednesday, homicide investigators found out that Dorsey had checked into the hotel over the weekend and then left without checking out, Hall said.
Stewart was a substance-abuse counselor at the Riverside County Department of Mental Health.
Dorsey is believed to be driving a 2003 Ford Explorer with California plates 6UDY773. The SUV is dark blue with gray primer on the hood and front fender.
He is on parole for attempted burglary and has a criminal record that includes assault with a deadly weapon and battery on a peace officer.

Missing San Diego man is found dead near car at bottom of canyon
North County
The body of a missing San Diego man was discovered near the wreckage of his Jeep in a canyon in the Cleveland National Forest, San Diego police said Friday.
Brent MacNab, 43, was last seen July 15 in Carmel Valley driving a rented Jeep Wrangler. His family reported him missing to police.
On July 30, the California Highway Patrol responded to a report of a vehicle in a canyon off Sutherland Dam Road and Sutherland Drive, in a remote area between San Pasqual and Julian, police said.
Officers found the Jeep about 300 feet down the canyon. MacNab had been ejected. The cause of the crash was unknown.

City Heights
Police were looking for two men and a woman who staged a home-invasion robbery in City Heights early Friday.

One of the men was described as black, about 5 feet 6 inches tall with a medium build wearing a black shirt and blue shorts. The woman was described as black, about 5 feet 1 inch and thin, wearing a black, strapless top and jeans.
No detailed description of the third person was given.

Memorial service today for agent killed riding motorcycle to work
el cajon
A memorial service will be held this morning in El Cajon for a veteran U.S. Border Patrol agent who was killed while riding his motorcycle to work last week.
Agent Matthew Wayne Maroon, 43, had been assigned to the Chula Vista station during his entire 16-year career, Border Patrol spokesman Jerry Conlin said Thursday.
Maroon was riding south on Interstate 805 near Home Avenue about 11:45 p.m. on Aug. 1 when his motorcycle collided with a vehicle that was trying to avoid a disabled vehicle on the freeway, the Medical Examiner's Office said.
Maroon was ejected onto the freeway and then struck by another vehicle.
The service will be held at 10 a.m. at El Cajon Mortuary at 684 S. Mollison Ave.

It's that time of year in Arizona– time when everything tastes better frozen.
Yes, everything.
I can't imagine turning the coffee maker on and drinking hot coffee, so I decided to turn my morning coffee into a popsicle!
As I mentioned, it's too hot for me to turn on the coffee maker. Since I'm just making a quick cup to turn into iced coffee, I used the Melitta Pour-Over Brewing Cone. This would also be great for someone who is camping and can't bring a coffee maker!
12 ounces cold coffee (I love Seattle's Best brand!)
12 ounces milk
3T caramel syrup (I use Starbucks brand, but you could substitute for any thin liquid brand of caramel syrup)
1/4 C sugar
Caramel sundae syrup (optional)
1. Mix hot coffee and sugar together until sugar dissolves. Add milk and thin caramel syrup.
2. Pour into ice pop molds and freeze.
3. Optional: For layered ice pops, fill 1/3 of mold with iced coffee and freeze. Add a layer of caramel sundae syrup and freeze again, then keep adding layers (freezing between each one) until mold is filled. I used black coffee with sugar for my thin layers.
If you like Seattle's Best as much as I do, you might be interested in these deals:

The bloom is off the rose for VMware. VMW -1.094890510948905% VMware Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD56.91 -0.63 -1.094890510948905% /Date(1461963723876-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1407813 AFTER HOURS USD56.85 -0.06 -0.10542962572482868% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9496 P/E Ratio 25.18141592920354 Market Cap 24134734111.9254 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 354000 More quote details and news »
Shares of the vendor of software for so-called virtualization and cloud infrastructure are down 16% in the first few weeks of this year, and down by the same amount in the last 12 months. That follows an amazing run at the depth of the market decline of November 2008, at a low of around $18, of more than 300%, to a recent price of $79.19.
VMware (ticker: VMW), a darling of the post-Dot Bomb era of technology, has never been cheap, and reality may have finally caught up with its rich valuation. I fear the shares haven't seen the worst for this year.
At its current quote, the stock is changing hands at 25 times the $3.17 cents a share analysts expect the company to earn this year. Last winter, the stock was trading for 33 times what turned out to be $2.85 per share in profit. Five years ago, just before recession hit, it traded at an amazing 57.4 times what the company ultimately delivered in adjusted profit. So the stock has gotten cheaper, but remains pricey, and the new wrinkle these days is the belief that VMware's market could soon be saturated.
The company's fourth-quarter financial results, reported Jan. 28, gave one reason for pause. Sales and profit beat narrowly, but the forecast for this quarter's and this year's revenue was below expectations.
Analysts cited a number of factors at work, including the conversion of some customers to subscription-based contracts, which can produce more stability over time, but minimize results in the near term.
The quarter was just the latest in a patter of slowing revenue growth, down from 88% growth in fiscal 2007 and 32% growth in 2011, to just 22% last year. Analysts project 15% growth this year. Profit is on a similar path, with growth declining from a doubling in 2007 and 44% growth in 2011, to just 31% last year and a projected 11% increase this year. And while the company has beaten estimates for revenue for 15 quarters running, the magnitude of that upside has narrowed considerably, from an average sales beat of 2.4% in 2011 to just 1% last year, on average.
In the most recent quarter, the company narrowly beat revenue and profit estimates, reporting sales of $1.29 billion and net profit of 81 cents, versus $1.28 billion and 78 cents expected, exceeding by just 1% on the top line while giving a little better 4% on the bottom line, thanks to what analysts construed as "expense discipline." Operating profit margin of 32.8% was better than most expected.
In other words, the trend for VMware is a distressingly consistent decline in growth and decline in the upside each quarter.
SOMETHING ELSE YOU CAN bet on is that the outlook the company offered for this year—15% revenue growth—probably is as lackluster as it would appear. A review of past VMware forecasts show it has done a pretty consistent job of setting a target and then beating it slightly.
What's going on? VMware has reached maturity very quickly, and is having to adapt. The company's bread and butter is something called a "hypervisor," a kind of miniature operating system that can run on a server computer, underneath the actual operating system—such as Microsoft's MSFT -0.06012024048096192% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD49.87 -0.03 -0.06012024048096192% /Date(1461965041000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 47304066 AFTER HOURS USD49.81 -0.06 -0.120312813314618% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1107618 P/E Ratio 39.57936507936508 Market Cap 394436943265.82 Dividend Yield 2.887507519550832% Rev. per Employee 732415 More quote details and news » (MSFT) Windows or Linux—and juggle multiple operating systems at a time.
The payoff for corporations was that they could double-up and triple-up the loads on each server they owned by running lots of operating systems, shielded from one another. This was a great idea, it saved companies money, and VMware sold a ton of it for several years.
Now, it would appear a bit of a cooling off is in progress.
A report on Jan. 17 by Craig-Hallum analyst Rajesh Ghai, preceding the earnings announcement, described how "with 60% to 70% of data-center workloads likely to be virtualized by year-end, the core virtualization market may begin to slow" this year.
Indeed, chief research officer Crawford Del Prete with research firm IDC tells me, "It's not like the party is over, but we are hitting an inflection point."
"You have had this tremendous return on investment associated with virtualization," he observes, but "the challenge is that a lot of that low-hanging fruit has ben picked."
For virtualization to spread further, customers would have to invest in re-coding obscure custom applications, for instance, things they've developed for manufacturing systems, to work with a hypervisor. They might just decide to forgo all that.
VMware has been busily trying to broaden into new markets. Having made the most of the server market, the company is now providing tools for the virtualization of desktop computers.
A call-center help desk, for example, could download each particular user's desktop login as each call operator sits down in front of the PC with each new shift, rather than giving each operator a dedicated PC.
And last August, VMware paid $1.1 billion for computer networking start-up Nicira. With that buy, the company can try to convince corporations to make their entire networking "virtual," with smart software that intelligently apportions whatever switching hardware a company installs, regardless of whether it is from Cisco Systems CSCO -1.6809728183118742% Cisco Systems Inc.

And Cisco is continually talking up its own efforts at network virtualization, and can be expected to fight tooth and nail to keep VMware from eroding its dominant position in switches and routers.
If VMware's outlook for mid-teens revenue growth on a percentage basis is accurate, I would expect the stock to see a lower price-to-earnings multiple, perhaps on the order of 20 times or less. That would give it a price more like $64 or lower—20% below the current level.

EMC's refusal to part with VMware has probably provided some support for VMware's share price, just by making shares less liquid.
I would expect that EMC will continue to insist on keeping this jewel of a software company. But I also expect that diminishing returns will make the stock less attractive despite EMC's staunch support.

The Impostor Arc spans from episodes 175 and 176 of the Naruto anime. This arc is preceded by the Land of the Sea Arc and is followed by the Hoshigakure Arc.
Noticing that lately Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba have been a rather low success rate in their ninja missions, Tsunade decided to give them one final chance to succeed or be sent back to the academy to restart their training. Their mission was to retrieve a hidden treasure. Initially, Naruto and Kiba kept getting into arguments about which way to go, which resulted in them taking different directions and each time Kiba emerging the one correct. Along the way, Hinata injured her ankle, forcing Kiba to go on alone while Naruto stayed with Hinata. After Kiba left, Naruto and Hinata were attacked and captured by mysterious ninja. Naruto later awoke to discover that he and his friends were replicated by their captors. The captors revealed themselves to be of the Kedōin clan, a clan with a special transformation technique that copies a person beyond just looking like the target. Their plan is to infiltrate Konoha and destroy it from the inside.
The enemies attempt to crush Naruto and his team in a cave-in, but they manage to free Hinata who uses her Gentle Fist to repel all the rocks. Later, Naruto and his team escape the cave and go after the Kedōin clan. To Naruto's fury, his double goes around the village building up a huge bill from various restaurants and even eats all of Naruto's saved food at home. After finding the doubles, it is discovered that they can't replicate the original's physical prowess and are easily able to capture them. Later, it is revealed from Tsunade that she actually hired the Kedōin clan to test Naruto and the others on how well they could handle such a situation.

The Most Shareholder-Friendly Company on Earth
Philip Morris International ( PM ) is one of the most controversial companies we cover.
I understand not everyone likesinvesting in cigarette manufacturers, and that's fine...
But our job at StreetAuthority is to give you the most timely and profitableinvestment advice available.
In short... our job is to help you makemoney .
And in doing so, we wouldn't be doing our job if we neglected to tell you that although it may be controversial, Philip Morris is also the most shareholder-friendly company on Earth.
In just four years, the company has raised itsdividend 85% and bought back 467 millionshares ofstock . During that time, shares have returned roughly 100%.
Here's how Philip Morris returns value to shareholders on a consistentbasis ...
First, the company buys back its own stock month after month -- no matter what themarket is doing. It's bought back a staggering 22% of its shares in the past four years.
There's no doubt that's a major reason this "boring" cigarette company has been doubling investors' money.
Philip Morris is one of the exceedingly rare companies that consistently grows its dividend year after year.
Since the company paid its first dividend of 50 cents per share in June 2008, it has raised its dividend every single year.
Take a look at the chart of Philip Morris' dividend growth to the right...
And I expect this rapid dividend growth to continue for years to come.
Since spinning off from Altria ( MO ) in 2008, Philip Morris has quickly amassed a $4.8 billion "Dividend Vault."
A "Dividend Vault" refers to the enormous stockpile of money a company uses to pay dividends to shareholders.
With billions of dollars sitting in its "Dividend Vault," Philip Morris should have no trouble paying a steady, growing dividend well into the future.
Looking forward, despite its size and industry dominance, Philip Morris still has plenty of room to grow.
Remember, Philip Morris is a spin off of Altria's cigarette business. But there's a big difference between the two companies.
While Altria continues to sell its brands, including Marlboro and Merit, in the United States... that business is slowly shrinking.
Philip Morris, on the other hand, focuses outside the United States. And in the international markets, it's a very different story...
Overseas marketsoffer greater growth opportunities in the cigarette industry because of their growing populations and looser restrictions on tobacco marketing. Therewill be an estimated 1.4 billion smokers globally by 2020, up from 1.3 billion today -- that's an additional 100 million potential customers, many of whom will choose a Philip Morris brand.
In fact, Philip Morris sells its products in 180 countries and owns seven of the world's top 15 brands.
Philip Morris is exactly what I look for in a shareholder-friendly business. It buys back shares, consistently raises dividends, owns an enormous "Dividend Vault" and has tremendous growth potential.
It's a rare thing whenever you find a company that possesses all of these traits. But when you do, you don't want to pass it up.
Risks to Consider: Of course, there's no quality a company can possess that willguarantee its success. But when you can find companies like Philip Morris that dominate their market and are returning billions to investors, these are the sort ofstocks that can deliver strong returns in nearly any market -- including this one.
Action to Take --> I recommend buying the stock up to $85 a share with aprice target of $115 a share.
P.S. -- Philip Morris is just one of 13 stocks I've discovered with an enormous "Dividend Vault." Right now, U.S. companies own a "Dividend Vault" worth more than $1.7 trillion. To learn more, including the name andticker symbols of some of my favorite "Dividend Vault" stocks, click here.

A Higher Standard in Wire Form Products
Breaking out of the industry mold, Whitesell doesn't rely on decades-old manual processes. Instead, Whitesell utilizes 21st Century automated processes on MacSoft and AIM Accuform CNC equipment to produce state-of-the-art wire forms, with clearly superior dimensional consistencies and razor-close tolerances. Naturally, these automated processes are also much more efficient and cost effective, often giving Whitesell the advantage of being able to offer a better product to the market at a lower cost.
Better Engineering = Better Value
Design and Applications Engineering. Whitesell provides degreed engineering assistance to maximize part functionality and cost savings opportunities for the customer, - in both the product and the process.
Synergizing Processes
As one of the country's premier cold forming producers, Whitesell can combine wire forming with other core competent metal forming processes to create higher value custom components and solutions. Secondary CNC capabilities include drilling, milling and turning for holes, flats, slots, or chamfered ends; welding of component wire forms, stampings, assemblies and more.
Better Business Systems For Wire Forms
Utilizing the highly cost effective blended Domestic/Overseas supply model that Whitesell has employed with other product families, Whitesell "twins" the core-competencies of our principal domestic manufacturing operation with the unique capabilities of our overseas production facility. Engineering, Design and leading production is performed here in America, while Whitesell's twin plant in Southern China is utilized to make high volume components where overseas production offers the customer a clear advantage.
How does Whitesell integrate quality between our factories in China and the USA that are 7000 miles apart?
With the right technology,
it's amazingly simple.
Our "twinned" coordinate measurement machines provide realtime integration between Whitesell's domestic and overseas production centers. For example, place a wire form component into one of our coordinate measurement machines located here in the US, and it makes a precise three-dimensional map of the component. Then that machine can send the dimensional data across our network to its twinned coordinate measurement machine at Whitesell's Chinese facility. In China, that machine can automatically program the CNC bending machines on the factory floor in China, and in a matter of moments, an exact duplicate copy of the wire form is produced, all in realtime, 7,000 miles away.

Q: What is the difference between the reflectors I see
on your review pages?
A: The design of the reflector makes a difference in the
way the light beam is put out by the flashlight. Without a
reflector, the light would go in all directions, like a candle.
There are several different types of reflectors, each with
their advantages. Here are a few:
This is a smooth reflector, the most common type found
in flashlights you buy from store shelves. The beam
put out by this type of reflector is usually full of
"rings and holes" meaning rings of bright
light and patches of darkness. Some very well made smooth
reflectors put out a decent beam of light, but most
If the reflector is adjustable for focus, you can usually
project a very sharp, tight beam a long distance, but
once you try to spread the beam out for area lighting,
you get the "rings and holes" again.

text: If the mean distance for the data set is much smaller than the one for CSR (COMPLETE State Randomness), the points tend to cluster. Geological maps containing lithological and major structural information were also prepared digitally, in order to utilise these maps along with Potential SHP and earthquake epicentre locations for better planning and development (Figure 5). Digital base map and all potential site attribute information were integrated in the SPANS GIS to perform various types of queries / questions provided by the users / potential developers. The major advantage of such integrated GIS spatial database is that any new and relevant information with individual SHP can be brought into the system and further improved analysis can be performed with minimum efforts (Figure 6). Figure 5 Analysis of Remote sensing dataInitially it was thought that various information such as catchment boundaries, main channe, habitation, concentration, road network etc. can directly be gathered from remote sensing data, however, later on it was realised that the data available from IRS-1A, 1B (LISS-III) sensors are not good enough for all requisite parameters for identification and confirmation of potential small hydro site . Though it is not difficult to identify catchment boundary and main channel in the remote sensing data in order to have other information related with small hydro, particulary for slope along main channel for potential head identification, name of the channel, location and name of the villages etc. Topographical maps of the area have to be referred and hence, it was decided to use remote sensing data of only those areas for which SOI 1:50,000 toposheets were not available. Figure 6 It is true that in last two decades remote sensing has a powerful tool for any work related with natural resources and environment, however, in the present project the study area coverage was enormous and complete satellite coverage would require more than 200-LISS-II scenes. Further, the study area is an high altitude terrain, and hence perennial cloud and associated shadow problems and snow cover makes it difficult to get cloud-free and snow-free scenes. GIS application in alternate sites identificationAs discussed above that GIS is a very powerful analysis and data management systemand can also be utilized for various purposed e. g. spatial and non-spatial analysis cluster analysis, alternate site selection etc. Alternate site selection analysis using GIS has been performed in a sample area in Darjeeling tea estate area (Rungsun Khola catchment). Contour information using SOI 1:50,000 topographic maps were digitized and DEM of the Rungsung Khola has been overlaid on the DEM. Some proposed channels within one tea estate boundary were also overlaid on the DEM and drainage information. This overlay procedure provided slope information / available head along the Rungsung Khola. Applying certain constrains four alternate sites were selected (Table 3) which provides various options and available potential power etc. Using DEM catchment characterization has been performed and catchment boundary, stream slope calculation were determined . Table 3: Various alternatives are provided on GIS based analysis for SHP planning purposes in Rungsung Khola catchment of Darjeeling tea estate area Rungsuns Khola-I Discharge = 0.5 Cumec

Joss Whedon is the rarest of creatures in his ability to move between television, film, comics and web series with fluidity and a distinctive creative voice. It's been a career with its fair share of heartbreak -- like the cancellation of his 2002 space Western series, "Firefly," after a troubled run that saw episodes aired out of their intended order and left a devoted fanbase still holding out hope for a return.
Whedon's flying high these days with "The Avengers," which he wrote and directed, due out in May' and "Cabin in the Woods," which he co-wrote with director Drew Goddard and opened SXSW last night to much love from the audience. Appearing in conversation with Entertainment Weekly editor Adam B. Vary this morning in Austin, Whedon has some interesting insights to offer on working with studios and networks and on the difference between the big and small screens.
In movies, he observed, "everything is a giant franchise or tiny thing, and that works for me, but middle-ground movies aren't being made anymore. That's a problem in American cinema... I've always wanted to be a director, I want to be in control, so for me film does something TV just can't. In TV, there's so much compromise, it does start to grate a bit. But if you're a writer or an actor, it really is the place to be."
He told a story about how, pre-"Batman Begins," he went in to pitch on rebooting the franchise. "My heart was on the table; I was so into it. And the executive was completely thinking about their schedule and their window. It was like talking to a wall, a different language. I drove away asking, 'How much more an indication do I need that the machine doesn't care?' And I got back to work and they canceled 'Firefly' and I was like, 'IT WAS RHETORICAL!'"
Ultimately, he said, "Their structures cannot be built on passion. I believe in some ways they should be more, but I cannot fault them for that, and that doesn't mean that I never want to work with them again."
On marketing: Discussing shows like "Dollhouse" that are conceptually difficult to describe or films like "Cabin in the Woods" that are impossible to discuss without spoilers, Whedon noted that he knew he could be a marketer's nightmare. "I am always going to be at odds with that particular part of American culture. My favorite thing is to go into a movie or a TV show not knowing what to expect. Usually, audiences are very ready to come along for the ride." He admitted he had a tendency "to think that everything I do is super commercial and that people will love it. A lot of what I do is difficult for networks -- how do we market 'Buffy?' It's so many genres. How do we market 'Cabin in the Woods?' We're not allowed to talk about it?" He cited Felicia Day saying after something was sold that, "Now we have to figure out what they think they bought."
On "Firefly": I keep thinking they're going to call me, crunch the numbers and say "Hey, we can make money from this!" -- but they don't. I would never rule it out, I love those people. But I can't just wait by the phone."
On being your own boss: Next on Whedon's plate is a web series called "Wastelanders," "because I can and because it's the next voice I have in my head." He believes that this is an exciting time in which you have the ability to "take the initiative" and go directly to an audience, though he also notes that he drew a lot from the negotiations he had with networks and balancing his ideas with their requirements: "A lot of what made the shows work was the back-and-forth between us." With the web, "it's very easy to be self-indulgent, but also easy to take a risk... You have to become your own network head, your own watchdog. But if you can do that, you're definitely the network head you want to work with."

Special warnings and use precautions
Special warnings None.
Special precautions for use None.
Interactions with other medicines and other forms of interaction
Even if the secondary central effects of the levocloperastine are significantly reduced, the medicine may interact with both depressant and stimulant substances of the central nervous system.
The possibility of strengthening the effect of substances with an antihistamine/antiserotoninic action and to a lesser extent of myo-relaxants such as papaverine should be considered.
Pregnancy and weaning
Whilst toxicity studies performed during pregnancy on animals have not highlighted any teratogenic activity and foetal toxicity, it is prudentially good practice not to take the medicine during the initial months of pregnancy and in the later period only in the case of effective necessity under the direct control of a doctor.

That Wacky King of Pop
See more » Listening
Funny that a site of this name should be run by a man who has spent much of his life deriding American popular culture.
Fret not - I got over myself long ago.
On a certain level I think Sam Cooke the exemplary figure: coldly and carefully he crafted pop tunes to appeal to the masses. That hasn't left me any less a secular saint.
And few people under my age can understand exactly how popular The Beatles really were when the group was still together.
So I'm coming to terms with the King of Pop: with Michael Jackson.
Much of his career as beloved pop icon - as opposed to witlessly abused man who will forever remain a confused by - pass without my attention. I'm not one given much to radio or television. Give me a CD or DVD: don't foist your schedule on me.
It began when I caught - long after the fact - the video for Thriller.
Growing up there were three movie theaters within a block of my house. I spent my childhood in movie houses during one of the golden ages of the horror film. Roger Corman was active; Hammer Studios in the UK had fresh releases rich in buxom barmaids in low cut dresses if there were no other special effect.
Christopher Lee was Dracula. And Vincent Price was
How often did a horror movie starting Price arrive each year?
So I was predisposed to a musical horror video. And how could I not melt when Vincent Price's voice spoke from the tomb? Michael Jackson probably enjoyed his hammy performances at the same time.
Eventually it sunk in - some times these things go surprisingly slowly - that I also enjoyed the music.
Backtracking I realized that I enjoyed many of Michael Jackson's hits.
That this supremely popular man with an awful childhood deserved his portion of fame, huge as it was.
And so - with his career in decline, not from any fault of his powers but the cold realities of mass appeal - acquired one more fan.

MLA 2013: Representing Genocide and Civil Conflict in Nonfiction Narrative
full name / name of organization:
Amardeep Singh, Division for Nonfiction Prose Studies
contact email:
What role has the creative nonfiction genre played in documenting and responding to genocidal violence and civil conflicts?
This panel will explore 20th and 21st Century texts; topics could extend from events such as the Armenian genocide, the Spanish Civil War, the Partition of Indian subcontinent, and the Holocaust, up through more recent genocidal events such as the "Killing Fields" of Cambodia, or the genocides in Rwanda and Darfur. Special interest is given to texts that cannot readily be classified as straightforwardly "journalistic," and which aim to do something other than simply document, with institutional authority and state support, these events. What are the limits of representation and representability? What does it mean to say that certain forms of violence (i.e., violence on a mass scale) are "unspeakable"? Cross-media elements, including engagement with the differing efficacies of photography and film, are welcome. What are the benefits of the creative nonfiction form in addressing genocide or large civil conflicts, and what are its limits?
Session sponsored by the Division for Nonfiction Prose Studies, Excluding Biography and Autobiography.

Lincoln men, women to face off against Central Missouri
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
Last meets first today.
The Lincoln men's basketball team (3-17, 2-8 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association) hosts Central Missouri (14-3, 8-1 MIAA) at 7:30 p.m. at Jason Gym.
The Mules sit in first place having won eight straight conference games. Oddly enough, they rank no higher than fourth in any MIAA statistical category.
Central Missouri sits in fourth out of 15 teams in turnover margin (plus-2 a game) and 3-point field goal percentage defense (.328). The Mules are seventh in the league in scoring at 73.2 points and sixth in points allowed at 65.8.
Yet, Central Missouri sits atop the conference standings and is fifth in the receiving votes group in the latest NCAA Division II rankings released Tuesday.
The Lincoln women look to cool off a red-hot Central Missouri squad when the two meet at 5:30 p.m. today at Jason Gym.
The Jennies come in winners of 10-of-11 games and ascended to No. 11 in the country when the USA Today Coaches Poll came out Tuesday. Central Missouri (15-2, 7-2 MIAA) leads the MIAA averaging 74.3 points per game and sits in fourth place in the conference.
Lincoln (9-9, 4-6 MIAA) sits in 11th place needing to take advantage of the few home games left on the slate. Today mark's one of three home contests left on Lincoln's schedule, as the Blue Tigers still have five more road matchups ahead of them. The top 12 squads qualify for the MIAA Tournament.

Memo to Rick Santeilli: "Man Up!"
By Douglas C. Lyons
Who knew that CNBC's Rick Santelli was such a wuss?
The hard charging and obviously highly opinionated TV personality -- he of let's take on President Obama's housing foreclosure plan during a televised rant from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange trading room floor fame -- lost his proverbial manhood this week on NBC's Today Show by whining that the president's spokesman, Robert Gibbs, "threatened him."
So, let me get this straight: You scream on the president, part of your style of journalism you told the world when the broadcast was all the rage, and when his spokesman responds by encouraging you to read the president's plan and invites you over for de-caf, you now punk out on us?!
I don't know which has dropped harder -- your credibility or my 401-K?

Movies: Graphic DP 2
Steve Holmes has proven himself to be a nasty cocksman capable of bringing the raunchiest behavior out of the sluts he plays with. One of his filthy passions is double-penetration, wherein a shamelessly hedonistic whore gets her pussy and ass simultaneously screwed. Steve's new Graphic DP 2 collects an even dozen of his very best such scenes and shows that his expertise is both sexual and technical — capturing this acrobatic feat well requires casting the hardiest, horniest girls with the most reliable woodsmen; arranging all the cocks and holes in tricky positions; then skillfully shooting among all the flailing limbs so the footage looks as graphic as the act. Eight of these mini-orgies include Steve's signature DP position, in which the tramp is lifted and carried bodily as the hard-ons saw away at her slots with the camera hovering beneath and around the lust-addled cock absorber. Cover girl Roxy Jezel's scene is a perfect example. The petite Asian/Brit with the pretty butt proves to be a nymph of nasty words and deeds — throughout an intense DP reaming she shit-talks a streak in her cute Cockney accent. Roxy sucks cocks pulled freshly from her cunt and rectum. Her hair and butt bounce wildly as Steve and a second stud carry-fuck her and spank her ass red. At one point she literally faints with ecstasy ... then, as the hammer-fucking continues, she comes to and preciously asks, "Did I pawss out?" Incorrigible Austrian Renee Pornero doubles down, wailing through double-vaginal and double-anal plowings. (That's right, two cocks in one hole at the same time!) Sandra Romain gapes widely and takes her own long double-anal pounding. Janet Alfano and Alexandra Joy both get DPed in an energetic scene. Janet gapes and swallows three loads. Auburn-haired Italian Jessica Fiorentino, gorgeous blonde Ellen Saint and hot-assed dirty blonde Lilliane Tiger enjoy bi times and each get DPed in one scene; Lilliane comes back for a second DP, this time wearing a silver cross necklace that hangs in her cleavage till it's sacrilegiously spackled in two loads of semen. Tyla Wynn and Alex Devine look almost like dirty blonde twins. Tyla's DP earns her three ejaculations to swallow from just two dicks; after an ATM-flavored DP, nasty Alex' asshole gapes for more. After matching DPs, popular stars Melissa Lauren (bleached blonde here) and Mandy Bright swap thick wads of sperm mouth-to-mouth. Steve's got two hot African-American ladies in need of white-into-black DP service: Light-skinned, petite, cute-assed Taya Silvers sucks cock pussy-to-mouth and ass-to-mouth, then gargles two helpings of jism. Natural-bodied Simone West also sucks cock fresh from her holes, and when she burps on the spunk she swallows, she playfully calls herself, "such a lady." Fair-skinned, buxom Michelle Wild has a great, fleshy ass and a treat for those with a smoking fetish. She blows smoke all over Steve's cock, moans through her DP, and her scene culminates with a titty-fuck in which Manuel Ferrara blasts her tongue, face, hair and jumbo boobs with a massive sperm shower.

NSAID Prescribing Precautions - Article
ABSTRACT: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used, but have risks associated with their use, including significant upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding. Older persons, persons taking anticoagulants, and persons with a history of upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding associated with NSAIDs are at especially high risk. Although aspirin is cardioprotective, other NSAIDs can worsen congestive heart failure, can increase blood pressure, and are related to adverse cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction and ischemia. Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors have been associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction; however, the only cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor still available in the United States, celecoxib, seems to be safer in this regard. Hepatic damage from NSAIDs is rare, but these medications should not be used in persons with cirrhotic liver diseases because bleeding problems and renal failure are more likely. Care should be used when prescribing NSAIDs in persons taking anticoagulants and in those with platelet dysfunction, as well as immediately before surgery. Potential central nervous system effects include aseptic meningitis, psychosis, and tinnitus. Asthma may be induced or exacerbated by NSAIDs. Although most NSAIDs are likely safe in pregnancy, they should be avoided in the last six to eight weeks of pregnancy to prevent prolonged gestation from inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, premature closure of the ductus arteriosus, and maternal and fetal complications from antiplatelet activity. Ibuprofen, indomethacin, and naproxen are safe in breastfeeding women. Care should be taken to prevent accidental NSAID overdose in children by educating parents about correct dosing and storage in childproof containers.

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: An Update on Diagnosis and Treatment - Article
ABSTRACT: Pulmonary arterial hypertension is defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 25 mm Hg at rest or 30 mm Hg during physical activity. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is classified into subgroups, including idiopathic, heritable, and pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with other conditions. A detailed history, thorough physical examination, and most importantly, a high index of suspicion are essential to diagnosis. Evaluation includes echocardiography and exclusion of other causes of symptoms. Targeted laboratory testing can help identify the subgroup of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Right heart catheterization is required to confirm the diagnosis. Standard treatment options include oral anticoagulation, diuretics, oxygen supplementation, and for a small percentage of patients, calcium channel blockers. Newer treatments include prostacyclin analogues, endothelin receptor antagonists, and phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Combination therapy has been shown to improve pulmonary arterial pressure, but more research is needed. Interventional procedures for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension include balloon atrial septostomy and lung transplantation.
Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism - Article
ABSTRACT: A previous venous thromboembolism is the most important risk factor for predicting recurrence of the condition. Several studies have shown that routine testing for inherited thrombophilias is not helpful in predicting the risk of recurrence or altering treatment decisions, and therefore is not cost-effective. Updated practice guidelines from the American College of Chest Physicians shift the focus away from laboratory testing and place stronger emphasis on identifying clinical factors when making treatment decisions. The major determinants for treatment duration are whether the deep venous thrombosis was located in a distal or proximal vein, whether the thrombotic episode was an initial or recurrent event, and whether transient risk factors were present. Persistent elevations on the d-dimer test or the presence of residual thrombosis may provide further information to predict recurrence risk and determine treatment duration. Screening for antiphospholipid syndrome and/or malignancy should be considered in patients presenting with arterial thrombosis, thrombosis at an unusual site, or recurrent pregnancy loss. Patients with venous thromboembolism and a known malignancy should be treated with low-molecular-weight heparin rather than oral anticoagulation as long as the cancer is active. All patients with recurrent, unprovoked venous thromboembolism should be considered for long-term treatment.
Indications for Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation - Article
ABSTRACT: Factors associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) include increasing age, rheumatic heart disease, poor left ventricular function, previous myocardial infarction, hypertension and a past history of a thromboembolic event. Patients with AF should be considered for anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy based on the patient's age, the presence of other risk factors for stroke and the risk of complications from anticoagulation. In general, patients with risk factors for stroke should receive warfarin anticoagulation, regardless of their age. In patients who are under age 65 and have no other risk factors for stroke, either aspirin therapy or no therapy at all is recommended. Aspirin or warfarin is recommended for use in patients between 65 and 75 years of age with no other risk factors, and warfarin is recommended for use in patients without risk factors who are older than 75 years of age.
Anticoagulation in Elderly Persons: A Call for Wider Use - Editorials
Warfarin Therapy: Evolving Strategies in Anticoagulation - Article
ABSTRACT: Warfarin is the oral anticoagulant most frequently used to control and prevent thromboembolic disorders. Prescribing the dose that both avoids hemorrhagic complications and achieves sufficient suppression of thrombosis requires a thorough understanding of the drug's unique pharmacology. Warfarin has a complex dose-response relationship that makes safe and effective use a challenge. For most indications, the dose is adjusted to maintain the patient's International Normalized Ratio (INR) at 2 to 3. Because of the delay in factor II (prothrombin) suppression, heparin is administered concurrently for four to five days to prevent thrombus propagation. Loading doses of warfarin are not warranted and may result in bleeding complications. Interactions with other drugs must be considered, and therapy in elderly patients requires careful management. Current dosing recommendations are reviewed, and practical guidelines for the optimal use of warfarin are provided.
PRE-OPportunity Knocks: A Different Way to Think About the Preoperative Evaluation - Editorials
Atrial Fibrillation: Diagnosis and Treatment - Article
ABSTRACT: Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. It impairs cardiac function and increases the risk of stroke. The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases with age. Key treatment issues include deciding when to restore normal sinus rhythm, when to control rate only, and how to prevent thromboembolism. Rate control is the preferred management option in most patients. Rhythm control is an option for patients in whom rate control cannot be achieved or who have persistent symptoms despite rate control. The current recommendation for strict rate control is a resting heart rate of less than 80 beats per minute. However, one study has shown that more lenient rate control of less than 110 beats per minute while at rest was not inferior to strict rate control in preventing cardiac death, heart failure, stroke, and life-threatening arrhythmias. Anticoagulation therapy is needed with rate control and rhythm control to prevent stroke. Warfarin is superior to aspirin and clopidogrel in preventing stroke despite its narrow therapeutic range and increased risk of bleeding. Tools that predict the risk of stroke (e.g., CHADS2) and the risk of bleeding (e.g., Outpatient Bleeding Risk Index) are helpful in making decisions about anticoagulation therapy. Surgical options for atrial fibrillation include disruption of abnormal conduction pathways in the atria, and obliteration of the left atrial appendage. Catheter ablation is an option for restoring normal sinus rhythm in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and normal left atrial size. Referral to a cardiologist is warranted in patients who have complex cardiac disease; who are symptomatic on or unable to tolerate pharmacologic rate control; or who may be candidates for ablation or surgical interventions.

I have talked about this before but it still bugging mr ( excuse the pun)! I have some lovely lilies which take pride of place in my raised bed. After many years of fantastic flowers the last couple of years they have been stripped of their leaves. I brought them in the Conservatory half way through last summer but they still carried on deteriorated. I cleaned all the bulbs and have planted them in pots and left them in the greenhouse. Can I treat them with anything? Big guns needed so I can put them out once again. Any ideas? I have tried painstakingly picking them off, sunflower oil spray etc.
I inspect mine whenever I'm in the garden and squidge the beetles when I see them. I also use tissue or kitchen roll to wipe the underside of the leaves to remove the larvae which are what do the damage. So far I manage to get away without too much damage.
Good luck
I use provado ultimate bug killer as soon as I see the first lily beetle on them. This is systemic and will work for six weeks. Usually by that time the bulb will have flowers on. I dont spray later on in the season. That way I hope to get the larvae which chew the leaves, but leave the pollinating insects. I squash every last lily beetle I see. They have no natural predators in this country.
Thanks to you both. Pravado it is then.
I don't usually use really powerful chemicals but lily beetle is an exception. I truly, truly hate them. Provado every time, use as it says on the can and do it regularly. If you spray really early - before you see any beetles or damage - you can nip it in the bud (another bad pun). I only use it on the lilies, though, so try to avoid too much collateral damage...
Thanks Rosie!
Yes, it's Provado or lily beetle. Provado for me.
I agree with dovefromabove , regular inspection , personally I knock them into a jar of white spirit but for the last couple of years I have been cleaning the larvae off and the number of beetles have dropped considerably
best of luck everybody
I have dozens of lilies in my garden - including many tree Lillie's. I am anti any form of chemicals in my garden and, at the end of the day, if a bug is determined to eat something and I can't prevent it then I let nature take its course. With my lilies, as soon as I see any nibbles, I just check under the leaves and deal with them by hand. There are few bugs I squash with relish but lily beetles and vine weevils are public enemies numbers 1 and 2 in my opinion!! Blighters!
incidentally, I am not a lady of leisure with nothing better to do.... I have a full time job and a hectic life, it just takes a few minutes to go round checking for critters every now and then. Where possible, I try to encourage other, predatory, creatures in to help me out!
Sorry..... I wipe the underside of the leaves with tissue - as Dove does - to squash the larvae its gross but I find it very effective.
I spent one summer trying to wipe off larvae. I always manage to miss one, and by the time I looked again, they were stripped. I sprayed once last year,in around May time, and that kept the whole plant pristine.
I try to encourage predators, but there is nothing in a UK garden that eats them.
Yes, I like murdering both lily beetles and vine weevils, but lily beetles are the best. My lilies are in pots, I've got about 8 big pots atm - there's no point putting them in the garden, they never appear again.
The beetles are not difficult to spot once you realise that they can burrow into the bud or leaf axils a bit. I put one hand underneath them in case they drop off - which they will do if they sense you coming - and they deliberately turn upside down so when they drop onto the soil you can't see them. I keep a count and see if I can beat it every day. I am not obsessed...........
I also squish the larvae, which is really gross. If you leave it for a week then you'll get damage. Since the first year, when my plants were stripped completely and covered in black goo (I thought they'd got a nasty disease), there's been no serious damage and lots of beautiful flowers. Which reminds me, I ought to be repotting them - and I will find some of the red blighters in the soil.
If I did grow them in the garden and had lots, I think I would def use the chemical.
I've already squashed one this year. The lilies aren't even poking through yet.
It's Provado for me - the only way I am not a truly organic gardener. I hate to admit defeat and if there was any other effective way of getting rid of the blighters I would, but I have about half a dozen pots of lillies, and as many again in my bedding so I'd spend all my precious retirement time chasing the buggers without Provado.
I only spray once, at my first sighting and that seems to be enough for the season.
Lily Beatles are so easy to spot and deal with, ever noticed how they 'hiss' at you if you cup your hands around them!
Despatched one today. Found it in the veg plot, while I was harvesting the last row of leeks and some celeriac. No sign of any of my lilies yet though.
Don't forget to check for them on your fritillaria. With the mild winter they will have overwintered very well and this warm weather will have brought them out.
I found one yesterday, I thought it was a ladybird at first, sunning itself on my Mona Lisa!
I've been growing lilies up here in Northumberland for nearly 25 years and this is the first time I've ever even seen one!
After reading the forum I will be out again today looking for signs of eggs or grubs.
Hello all , they have stated nibbling my lilies but could'nt find them , finally got 5 yesterday , so pleased
I let drop into a jar with some white spirit in , for a swim
However , decided to spray Provado as well

RISMEDIA, October 2, 2009—At 2,660 heated and cooled square feet, this home located at 30 Gin Pole Way in Sylva, North Carolina in the Balsam Mountain Preserve offers a concept rarely found in today's homogenized, digitized world—a true sense of place, according to the listing. The home was carefully constructed with materials found in close proximity to Balsam and feels larger than it is because of its open floor plan. Building features include care from the owner about the environment and energy savings.
Each room enjoys large windows, which overlook the Plott Balsam range and a surrounding ridge of Balsam Mountain Preserve. Being able to view mountains while walking on the brick patio and lawn increases the livability of this home. The master bath features a large glass enclosed tumbled marble shower, heated towel racks, a double sink area and a Bain Ultra Air tub with a window above, allowing the bather to enjoy a view of the mountains. White wood shutters add a finishing touch to this area.
Hemlocks were gathered on the property and sent to a local mill for exterior reverse board and batten walls. An old bridge was reinvented and used for the staircase, bar top and guest bathroom cabinet tops. The powder room barn door was built to continue the rustic element of this well-planned home. Poplar bark is used at the entrance and rear patio to offer texture to an already beautiful exterior.
The home offers a harmonious feeling created by the choice of colors and elements. Careful planning and shifting of an existing Al Platt Architectural plan makes this home truly enjoyable. A mix of wood and drywall make the home very welcoming but not too rustic. Additional separate zone radiant heating can be found in the garage, where the floor has also been acid stained.

Burglar strikes Lily's Webkinz world; was it you?
Lily is only 6, and already she's been the victim of a major crime. A burglar broke into her home, stole all her furniture and all her money. And, inexplicably, left four new chairs in her bedroom.
All of this occurred in cyberspace, in Lily's beloved Webkinz world.
She came to me crying hysterically, and told me of the invasion. Real tears were streaming down her cheeks. She'd earned $24 doing Webkinz "jobs,'' and it was gone.
"I went to get my pet some medicine,'' she told me, "and $1 came up. And then, sadness,'' she told me.
She wept openly as she told me that making this tragedy even worse was the fact that "my bunny is so SICK!'' And she had no money to take him to the vet.
In Webkinz world, which I told you about in a previous post, you earn "money'' working "jobs,'' and then you can "buy'' special beds and nightstands and such and furnish your pet's room. Lily had carefully done so. I specifically remember a cute little pink love seat. And a pink bed. A pink phone.
All of it, now gone.
"And they left four chairs in my room. Why would I need that many chairs?!'' she cried.
I tell you all of this to warn of the danger of sharing your logon and password with any friends or cousins. Or newspaper readers.
I shouldn't have published Lily's logon information, huh?
Did one of you make Lily cry?
