for me personally? I'd choose C
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:00 AM
It would depend on the financial position of my family. I would choose B or C.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:02 AM
C would the best option.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:04 AM
sorry, I am wondering if I am misunderstanding the seriousness of the illness. I wonder if anyone would TTC naturally with no intention of terminating...
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:05 AM
I couldn't terminate a featus or discard an emryo so for me the options are A or D.
OP - this is a very personal decision to make. I know you are just putting your feelers out beause understanding how other's think and feel on the topic somehow how gives you some comfort when it comes time to make the decision but in these circumstances I don't think anyone really knows what they would do unless they've ACTUALLY been in that situation, so please take these responses with a grain of salt.

If possible I would use IVF to screen for the disease, but not choose the gender if that makes sense.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:11 AM
I'd choose C.
However we were actually thinking about this as our DD has a genetic condition (non-life threatening once managed, doesn't leave her in pain or affect development but a PITA nonetheless). After looking into gender selection for medical reasons we decided to take whatever we were given and try naturally. BUT if DD's condition had been such that the child would be in pain or have a poor quality of life, etc - then no doubt we would have gone with gender selection to rule that out.
In the end our decision was made easy for us as we found out that DD's was a "new mutation" (so genetic condition was not from us), so we are now waiting for #2 who can now expect to be unaffected.
I'm all for letting 'fate' or whatever decide, but then you think about how you would do anything to make life better for your affected child after birth, so why not before birth if you can?

If money is no object, c). If it was, a) I would research absolute everything on conceiving a girl & follow it to a tee (i know there are no guarantees). If it didn't work, and if I got a boy which was 50/50 chance, I would accept it as being meant to be.
OP, you have to do what's right for you not a bunch of strangers who unless they have been in a similar situation would have no idea on what you are feeling and your options. Probably better to talk to people that have been in a similar position. Best wishes OP.

ok, so for those who say they would use IVF to either have a girl, or as LTM said, screen for the disease (not sure if that is possible) - what if you couldnt afford IVF so you could only choose A, B or D?
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:13 AM
I would go for option
E : undertake an IVF cycle using PGD which would then be able to screen any embyro's for MD. This would allow any healthy male embyro's as well as Femal embryo's a chance to be transferred.
We have faced a similar choice re sex selection for medical reasons and it is possible. It is more complicated than regular IVF as you are required to have genetics counselling and then you need to submit an application to the Infertility Treatment Authoriity (or what ever the current name for this board is) outlining the medical reasons EG sex determined medical condition and then wait for the verdict. To determine sex prior to transfer you are using PGD anyway so I would prefer to screen for the condition rather than sex as it would mean you have a greater chance of another child as all healthy males will still be able to be transferred as well as any females. It would be a great idea to contact your states genetics department and ask if you could speak to some of the genetic counsellors as they are great sounding boards and know what options and what risks etc
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:13 AM
It would depend on finances and severity of son's disability.
If there was enough money to provide whatever my son needs by way of aids and assistance, and it looked like he would be able to lead a reasonably independent life then I'd do IVF if I wanted another child.
Is it possible to use PGD to screen for the actual illness, rather than manage the risk by gender selection?
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:15 AM
for the record, this is not for me, it is a theoretical question.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:18 AM
I'm not sure if your question is hypothetical but here's something to consider.
My uncle by marriage has MD. Out of his and my aunty's 3 children - 1 boy and 2 girls - only 1 child has MD. And she's a girl.
How does that fit with your situation?
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:20 AM
I would use IVF and get screened for the disease (provided it is once they can test for)

If its a combined recessive from both parents, I would look at donor sperm or ova. AFAIK donor sperm is cheaper than IVF.

C or D. It would depend on which type of MD.
I have twins with multiple medical conditions. One just underwent muscle and liver biopsies to rule out MD, and we are now looking at some kind of metabolic/mitochondrial disorder that, judging by the recent deterioration, is likely to be degenerative. There's no way I would deliberately have another child if we knew there was 25% chance they would have it too.
Before we even realized that our boys' condition was going to be degenerative, we had decided not to have anymore children because of the incredible amount of care they require. We already had an older child who we felt was missing out on so much as it was. I fell pregnant accidentally (we were using contraception, but it obviously failed) and we thought long and hard about bringing another child into our family. In the end, we did and I'm very glad of that now because I'm absolutely besotted with him, but I do wish DH had organized his vacetomy earlier.
I think you really need to organize some genetic counselling for yourself and also you need to speak to your sons specialists about his future. Depending on which type of MD, the prognosis may be vastly different to what you are imagining.
Good luck. It's not an easy decision and there's so many more elements to consider than most people will realise.

ahh! This is what I was wondering. From the information I read it said it was much more common to affect boys, however there is a small percentage of girls that are affected. It didn't say if it was genetic in the sense that if you had 1 child it would be highky likely to pass on to other children.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:24 AM
As far as aware it's no more likely to affect one sex than another. So that means that each child, regardless of their gender, has the same chance of having MD. Having a child with the disease previously has no affect on subsequent outcomes.
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:24 AM
Ok if this is not for you WHY do you need to know??? Are you trying to understands someones thoughts or actions on this matter.
This is a very personal matter and I am actually sorry in way I replied earlier. There is no right or wrong answer and what is the best thing for one family is not another. It is also very painful and intimate. There are a lot of mums on these boards who have face this very choice those who have elected to use almost every option you have suggested and what each family has done is right for them, for their families. There a a lot of mums who chose not to undergo IVF however they had risky CVS and amnio's which could have caused a perfectly healhty babe to M/C or put the parents in a horrible place of having to choose.
If you are a friend or family member of someone facing this I suggest you support WHATEVER they choose as THEY are the ones who have to live with it
Posted 17 April 2012 - 11:28 AM
mez70 - no no, I don't know anyone, just hypothetical. I realise it is a personal decision. I was just trying to understand how the illness works really and then I started thinking about this side of it. I hope I haven't offended anyone...

It depends which type of the disease it is.
There are three primary types of inheritance in which the faulty gene that causes MD can be passed along to offspring:
X-linked recessive: Genes that are X-linked recessive are carried by the female on one of the X chromosomes that determine the sex of the child. As such, only boys will inherit conditions determined by these genes. Their mothers, known as carriers, will usually not show signs of the disease. A son of a carrier of MD has about a 50 percent chance of developing the disease, while a daughter of a carrier has a 50 percent chance of being a carrier. If a boy is unaffected, he cannot pass on MD; however, daughters from a man with an X-linked dystrophy will all be carriers. Duchenne/Becker and Emery-Dreifuss are X-linked recessive.
Autosomal recessive: For this type of inheritance, both parents must carry and pass on the faulty gene. Neither parent shows any symptoms, but each of their offspring, regardless of gender, will have a 25 percent chance of developing the disease. Limb-girdle type 2 MD and distal myopathy are autosomal recessive.
Autosomal dominant: In the case of autosomal dominant inheritance, an affected person will have MD even though only one faulty gene has been passed along. This faulty gene can come from either parent, and it can affect either sex. Each child of an affected parent will have a 50 percent chance of developing MD. For this type of inheritance, the severity of MD can vary greatly. It can be so mild that it is not recognized, but it can also be severe. Myotonic dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), and oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) are autosomal dominant.
So there's a type where the woman can be a carrier but rarely show signs; in that case it would make sense to try for a girl.

'Open Skies' Deal Could Trim Cost of Air Fare
The United States and the European Union have finally agreed to a long-awaited "Open Skies" pact.
When it goes into effect in March 2008, European and American airlines will be able to fly from any American city to any European city.
It should mean more flights to more places, and in the long run, cheaper tickets.
For more than 60 years, trans-Atlantic air flight has been bogged down with a stunning amount of red tape.
The U.S. has separate aviation agreements with every European country, giving each country's national carrier a lot of power to prevent other airlines from competing.
Next year, all U.S. and EU airlines will be free to fly anywhere they want in each other's territories.
Britain's Virgin Atlantic, for example, says it might offer flights from U.S. cities to Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Madrid.
Germany's Lufthansa could offer a regular London-New York flight.
British Airways had loudly fought the deal, because it wanted to maintain its dominance in Europe's biggest hub, the very crowded Heathrow in London.
But Europeans failed to get what they most wanted: the right to fly from city to city in the United States. There will be no Air France flights from New York to Los Angeles.

In the 1400s, a nun in a French convent started making sounds like a cat. Other nuns began to do the same. Eventually, they started biting one another. As word of the bitings spread, so, too, did the bitings. They swept through other convents all the way to Rome.

A black church, a maladjusted white kid, and the nation moaning, "My God, not again." A few selected politicians, firm believers in the theory of 'never let a good crisis go to waste', exploited the tragedy to push for more gun control on law abiding citizens. Shame on them. Thankfully, the majority of politicians did the decent thing by grieving with the rest of the country and graciously keeping their mouths shut. Condolences and heart-felt words for the fallen were and always will be a proper and suitable way to express sympathy for a heartbreak such as Charleston.
Long before last week's killings in Charleston, South Carolina, which appear to have been motivated by racial hatred, at least one expert in belief systems wrote that a person's prejudices can be changed.

Neither Donald Trump nor Ben Carson will be president of the United States.

But they are candidates who can throw a wrench in the process.

What sometimes seem like epic battles to reshape the world generally fade to irrelevance very quickly. To take just one recent example, 20 years ago the Justice Department was trying to break up Microsoft because the software giant was perceived as too powerful to be challenged by other firms. Today, of course, all the talk is of Google and Apple with Microsoft struggling to find a niche.
Last summer's Ferguson, Missouri, disturbances revealed that while blacks were 67 percent of its population, only three members of its 53-officer police force were black. Some might conclude that such a statistic is evidence of hiring discrimination. That's a possibility, but we might ask what percentage of blacks met hiring qualifications on the civil service examination. Are there hundreds of blacks in Ferguson and elsewhere who achieve passing scores on civil service examinations who are then refused employment? There is no evidence suggesting an affirmative answer to that question.
Last week, Congress passed and President Obama signed legislation that will alter somewhat how federal law enforcement can monitor our phone calls in the future.

Elaine Rose Cece: Toronto police officer's killer denied parole
Woman who fatally stabbed Det.-Const. William Hancox in 1998 loses her appeal of Parole Board of Canada decision last May.

View 2 photoszoom
A homeless woman who murdered a Toronto police officer in 1998 has lost her bid for day parole.
Elaine Rose Cece plunged a 12-inch stolen butcher's knife into the chest of Detective-Constable William (Billy) Hancox as he sat in an unmarked surveillance van at a Scarborough strip mall.
Court heard that Hancox, 32, was ambushed while working undercover. He was dressed in plain clothes and Cece and her lover, Mary Barbara Taylor, didn't know he was a police officer, court heard.
Cece and Taylor, who were high on crack cocaine, wanted to steal a vehicle to leave town, court heard.
Cece had appealed a decision by the Parole Board of Canada last May to reject her bid for day parole.
The Parole Board's appeal division was released this month. It supported the original decision last March to turn her down for day parole.
Cece had argued that the original decision didn't give proper weight to her good behaviour during a 60-day community work release program or the effects that European colonization had on her and her family.
In a controversial move, Cece was granted work release in December 2011 from the warden of the Fraser Valley Institution for women in Abbotsford, B.C. She was turned down for the same program by the Parole Board of Canada in 2010.
In the latest decision, the parole board's appeal division noted that Cece was convicted of assaulting another inmate in 2000 and also "received numerous institutional charges for inappropriate sexual behaviour, intimidation and rule breaking."
"You received convictions for Assault Peace Officer in 2005 and you were charged with inter-cell visiting and being verbally abusive to staff in 2009," the appeal board wrote her. "Due to institutional concerns, your security was increased to maximum security three times."
The appeal decision also noted that she has been classed as a minimum security offender since 2011 and that she has cooperated in counselling with psychologists and Aboriginal elders.
Her trial heard that she stabbed Hancox through the open window of his surveillance van, after urging from Taylor.
Both women were convicted of second degree murder.
Taylor, a prostitute, had 70 prior convictions and was on probation for robbery at the time of the murder. She was 31 when Hancox was murdered.
Cece, who was 41 at the time of the murder, had a record for two assaults, a kidnapping and a conviction for failing to comply with probation conditions.
Cece was on probation at the time she committed one of the assaults and also when she murdered Hancox, according to the written decision of the parole board's appeal board.
Hancox's wife was eight months pregnant at the time of his murder. The couple also had a two-year-old daughter.

So, with Lion's release increasingly imminent, my question is whether or not there's a date for a Lion-capable release in sight.
If not, I'll probably do what I did last time and hand-roll a Lion-capable CB bundle in order to ensure things still work on Lion, adding it into things and making a custom branch, just to keep things going for now. I hate doing that, though, because it's a) a huge headache, and b) sometimes breaks on certain machines.
If there /is/, however, I'll probably finally kick my project to 1.0 (after five years...) and kill off Panther and Tiger support, or else modify the project to have two loadable bundles, one using the legacy CB (for Panther or Tiger), and one using the newer CB (for Leopard or later).

Not a graven-in-stone date, but I'd say weeks, not months. I've
finally found a good job (yay!), and I'm officially paid up on the Mac
App Store. So, I have access to Lion betas, and in a few weeks I'll be
able to obtain an Apple-made Mac with which to run them honestly.
The $64k question is, of course, when Lion itself will ship. AFAIK,
Apple hasn't said.

The LEGO Duplo Pink Brick Box is filled with pastel and bright pink pieces, as well as other colorful pieces. It comes with a white rabbit and a brown rabbit, carrots, a plate, flowers, a window, a fence, and assorted Duplo bricks. There are many ways to build with the LEGO Duplo Pink Brick Box, and the building set comes with an idea booklet to inspire kids to start building. When play is done, all the pieces fit inside the storage bucket. The bucket has room to store extra Duplo pieces that you might already own from other sets. The bucket also locks tight, so if a child carries around the bucket, you don't have to worry about the lid falling off and the pieces spilling all over the place.
The LEGO Duplo Pink Brick Box is a basic introductory set for girls who are new to, and intrigued by, construction play and LEGO Duplo. It also makes a great addition to any Duplo collection. As with all Duplo products, the bricks are chunky and easy for small hands to grasp and put together. Kids will like building with these new colorful bricks. No matter what kids choose to build, the LEGO Duplo Pink Brick Box will engage kids in lots of imaginative, open-ended play. The theme will also inspire narrative-based play.
The LEGO Pink Brick Box is for ages 1.5 to 5. Given the way kids naturally play, it's more likely that this set will appeal primarily to girls, but it's more than okay if boys want to play with pink bricks, too.
The LEGO Pink Brick Box is compatible with other LEGO Duplo sets.

To lure pretty Epily, little chick Abelard sees only one solution: to catch the moon for her. So off he goes to America, the country that invented flying machines. Armed with his banjo and his proverb-sharing hat, he launches out on the country roads, where he meets Gaston, a grumpy bear with whom he shares his plan. As opposed to dreamer Abelard, Gaston has his feet firmly planted on the ground. This humorous comic, where the absurd becomes poetry, explores philosophical ideas through a simple, fanciful story.

With a history almost 200 years long, C.F. Martin & Co. is a company that's definitely backed by tradition. They're known primarily for their acoustic guitars, but that's not all they bring to the table: they also make their own line of strings. True to their heritage, most Martin strings are for acoustic guitar - but not all; if you play the bass guitar, banjo, mandolin or ukulele, you can find some strings for your instrument too.
If it is a set of acoustic guitar strings you're looking for, the huge variety available from Martin is sure to offer what you need. Most of these strings use classic bronze or phosphor-bronze construction, and the selection of gauges gives you plenty of options for feel, tone and specialty tunings. For educators or guitar professionals who need lots of spares on hand, Martin offers its most popular strings in packs of 3, 6 or even 12 to let you really stock up.
There's a lot to consider when picking out Martin strings, which is a good thing because it means more choice for you. Are you looking for the best durability? Try the Lifespan SP series, which have a coating that helps them last longer than typical strings. Do you want a set that's easier and more agile to fret, for complex play or learning? If so, the FX Flexible Core line is likely the way to go. They come in bronze, phosphor-bronze and silk-and-phosphor, each of which has its own characteristic feel and sound.
For instruments other than the guitar, Martin's strings are fewer but no less impressive. Take the M600 Standard Crystal Nylon Ukulele Strings, for instance. With these, Martin has improved on the typical nylon string by using a fluorocarbon material for better sound and longer life. Another good example of Martin's quality would be the V730 Medium Vega Banjo Strings, which are excellent all-around strings well-suited to every style of banjo playing.
As you look through the selection of Martin strings, one thing you'll notice is that the best part of all may be how affordable they are. It's not every day that you find a set of strings able to deliver such good results while fitting any budget. Martin definitely delivers, though, and you can't go wrong with the options found here.

I need to be able to display 2 differing landing pages depending on the URL is user is coming from e.g. if user A comes from www.domain.com/qwe, he/she is redirected to page.domain.com and if user B comes from www.domain.com/rty he/she is redirected to page.domain.com. Depending on where they came from page.domain.com would show differing content. The redirection occurs as 310 redirect at the server level i.e. the web server implements the 301 redirect.
How reliable are 301 redirect referers?
Is there a better way to achieve the same result using a different method and if so what is it?

James Gonzalo Medina, 40, allegedly told FBI informant he wanted to bomb synagogue 'for the glory of Allah.'02:00 03.05.16 | 0 comments
Long before Israel's actual independence in 1948, the early Zionists, led by Herzl in the late 19th century, were either lawyers, philanthropists, doctors, scientists, businessmen, etc. from all over the world, were not particularly religious nor were they scholars of the Torah. They dreamed for a Jewish homeland to help Jewish communities seek refuge from anti-Semitism. This entails the period before WWI and before WWII. After World War II, many colonial nations, including the entire Middle East, dismantled or formulated into modern states and gained independence through the United Nations. The religious Jewish component to modern Israel's establishment, is not particularly highlighted by the founders simply because they were not focused on the spiritual aspect, rather on the survival aspect of the Jewish people. That is the reason the Declaration of Independence proclaims equal rights to all of modern Israel's citizenry. This is a democracy. Since its establishment, whether there's been discrimination, racism, and plenty of grievances against the Israeli Governments ? There's no doubt. But that's another issue which does not contribute to a healthy democracy. Israel has mostly given the people its democratic platform for criticism (I'm not saying that there weren't consequences early on either) but the formulation of 28 political parties in Knesset, exemplfies representation of all Israel's inhabitants. The bottom line is, it is very difficult to separate the nationalistic and religious component which makes up the essence of the Jewish State of Israel. However, it is within Israel's judicial legislations which govern the nation's policies, not the laws of the Torah. BTW Rabbi Kahane's political party was banned from the Knesset, given the reasons I just explained.

Oak Park schools revise facility use policy amid parents' complaints
Parents get first and free use in tweak of District 97 policy
A change in language on a District 97 policy concerning who can use school facilities - and a commitment by the district to give Oak Park parents groups first use in the buildings - was enough to please parent Joan Radovich.
The Longfellow mom and PTO member wasn't as pleased with the administration and school board when a draft revision of policy 820 was made public. The draft caused a ruckus among some parents who believed the district was planning to charge PTOs and other school-related groups for using D97 facilities.
District officials said that was never the case and that a poorly-worded draft was the cause of the confusion. The D97 Board of Education is set to approve the revised policy this week.
"I just want to thank the policy committee for the added provisions to the policy. It provided a lot more clarity than the previous proposal," Radovich said, speaking at the June 25, D97 meeting.
She and a few other parents spoke at a previous meeting, urging the board to revise Policy 820 before approving it. The board sent the policy back to its policy committee for revision.
It did end up being mostly a tweak and clarifying of the language. The new language states that student groups and school-related organizations "may use D97 facilities at no cost." A fee, however, will be charged if district staff members have to work overtime, which is a standard D97 practice.
Non-affiliated school organizations will have to pay "fees and costs," the policy states. PTOs and other school-related groups will also have first-use of facilities. Some parent and student groups initially believed they'd be bumped by outside organizations.
Those organizations must get written approval with the district before receiving first-use over PTOs and other school groups, according to the policy.
The D97 administration and school board were caught off guard by parent complaints. The district has been updating a number of policies after hiring to a new documents management firm last year. That switchover resulted in some language tweaking in a handful of policies, said Chris Jasculca, D97's director of policy, planning and communications.
The tweaks to Policy 820, however, ended up confusing some parents, Supt. Albert Roberts says.
The school policy was up for a vote at the board's July 9, meeting.

It appears the D97 PTO's want to have their cake and eat it too. When asked to include students with disabilities in accord with rules and regulations that apply to schools, they make it clear that they are separate organizations and cannot be held to these rules. Oh, but when they want free access to the schools, they are suddenly "school related". This is not just hypocritical, it is also cruel to the students who are excluded.

Your Views for August 31
Bleed for electricity
The full-page HELCO ad which appeared in the Aug. 28 issue of the Tribune-Herald is appropriately colored red all over. The ad promises a bright future of cheaper, 100 percent renewable electricity. Cheaper? It is not possible under the current structure.
Consider the quadrant of the ad titled, "Tomorrow." Here we have two for-profit companies that want to take advantage of generous incentives for the production of renewable energy, that then want to sell their product to our for-profit utility, which would in turn sell it to us, the rate-payers.
The neat thing for HELCO is that its profit is protected by the Public Utilities Commission under their policy of decoupling announced in 2008. The Aina Koa Pono project to convert vegetable matter in Ka'u to biofuel by an unproven method, if it ever works as promised, is projected to produce such expensive fuel that it would generate a surcharge on all our bills.
The Hu Honua biomass incineration project in Pepeekeo proposes to convert the Hamakua forest resource into electricity by a dirty, polluting, inefficient and unsustainable method and should never have been permitted, as it will be a great detriment to all of East Hawaii. So much for biofuel and biomass.
If you conserve on electricity usage you are actually driving up the rate since HELCO gets to sell less electricity so under decoupling it will ask for a rate increase. If you install a photovoltaic system you are also driving up the rate and you may be slapped with a huge assessment if enough of your neighbors have already installed PV. These assessments are already preventing some folks from installing PV. So much for solar.
The full development of geothermal energy would be the most promising way to proceed, but in my opinion it will only bring about cheaper electricity if it is developed by the state as a true public utility that is not designed to bleed the rate-payers. New transmission lines would have to be built since HELCO now owns all the lines. There can be no competition otherwise.
I don't think I will live long enough to see cheaper electricity on Hawaii Island. In the meantime, we can continue to celebrate the fact that we have the highest rates in the country. After all, this is supposed to be paradise, not the extortion state.

Counting fatalities
A couple of questions for our "officials": Why isn't a person who dies after being hospitalized for more than 31 days as a result of injuries suffered in a traffic accident not counted toward the official traffic fatality count?
Why is a person who dies from injuries suffered as a result of a traffic accident on a private road not counted toward the official traffic fatality count?
Sounds to me that in either case, the "officials" are trying to make us feel good by citing "less traffic fatalities" in one year as related to a previous year! Final question: Why do the Tribune-Herald reporters find it necessary to describe the vehicles by year, make and model when describing an accident? Are they compiling certain statistical evidence that perhaps more vehicles of a certain year, make and model are more (or less) likely to become involved in accidents?
