Pelvic pain is a common complaint among women. Its nature and intensity may fluctuate, and its cause is often obscure. In some cases, no disease is evident. Pelvic pain can be categorized as either acute, meaning the pain is sudden and severe, or chronic, lasting over a period of months or longer. Pelvic pain may originate in genital or extragenital organs in and around the pelvis, or it may be psychological, which can make pain feel worse or actually cause a sensation of pain, when no physical problem is present.
Pelvic pain may have multiple causes, including:
Some of the more common sources of acute pelvic pain, or pain that occurs very suddenly, may include:
Some of the conditions which can lead to chronic pelvic pain, pain that may last for several months or longer, may include:
This long-term and often unrelenting pain may cause a woman's defenses to break down, resulting in emotional and behavioral changes. This occurrence is often termed "chronic pelvic pain syndrome."
The following are examples of the different types of pelvic pain most commonly described by women, and their possible cause or origin. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Diagnostic procedures and tests will be performed in order to determine the cause of the pelvic pain. In addition, your physician may ask you questions regarding the pain such as:
Additional information about the timing of the pain and the presence of other symptoms related to activities such as eating, sleeping, sexual activity, and movement can also help the physician in determining a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical and pelvic examination, diagnostic procedures for pelvic pain may include:
Specific treatment for pelvic pain will be determined by your physician based on:
Treatment may include:
If a physical cause cannot be found, pelvic pain may be diagnosed as a psychological defense or coping mechanism for some type of trauma. In some cases, psychotherapy is recommended.

A Mind of Winter
A sampling of poetry to keep you warm throughout the season.
Winter Scenes
Chicago and December by W.S. DiPiero -- I walk north across/the river, Christmas lights/crushed on skyscraper glass
I Know, I Remember, But How Can I Help You by Hayden Carruth -- proud to share/the silent magnetic storm that destroys the stars
The Snow Man by Wallace Stevens -- And, nothing himself, beholds/Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
The Snow-Storm by Ralph Waldo Emerson -- Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,/Arrives the snow
Snow Day by Billy Collins -- Today we woke up to a revolution of snow,/its white flag waving over everything
Snowy Owl Near Ocean Shores by Duane Niatum -- His head a swivel of round glances,/his eyes a deeper yellow than the winter sun,
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost -- The only other sound's the sweep/Of easy wind and downy flake.
Winter Love
The Snow Is Deep on the Ground by Kenneth Patchen -- Who made the snow waits where love is.
Snowflake by William Baer -- whirling about in a swirling free-/for-all, appearing aimless, just like love
Winter Remembered by John Crowe Ransom -- A cry of Absence, Absence, in the heart,/And in the wood the furious winter blowing.
Childhood Winter
A Country Boy in Winter by Sarah Orne Jewett -- So clear the road! the fastest sled/There is in school I boast.
Ice by Gail Mazur -- In the warming house, children lace their skates,/bending, choked, over their thick jackets.
Those Winter Sundays by Robert Hayden -- Sundays too my father got up early/and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,

Customer Reviews
January 22, 2015
This wallet is just beautiful!. The color is a deep rich plum and the finished leather is to die for. I just cannot say enough about the quality of this product, obviously made with care. Even the zipper pulls are good quality and nice looking. My order arrived quite quickly. Since this was replacing a very dear old wallet of mine (I actually had it for 27 years and was it ever beaten up!), I was being very particular about the quality of the new product I was going to replace it with. Worried that anything made now days would not be up to par. When it came to this wallet, I was pleasantly surprised. This wallet is a steal at this price. I definitely will buy from Bosca again.

We love them all! Everything from light, crisp Provence style to deep and fruity Spanish Rosados. Don't be afraid to enjoy rosé year-round, but we like the summer staple best with refreshing, mild cheeses that are great in warm weather.
Pair with: Young chevres like Coupole and bloomy rinds like Moses Sleeper for the lighter stuff. A darker, fruitier rosé can stand up to a heavier cheese like nutty Pecorino Oro Antico. Sparkling rosé is a perfect match for Nettle Meadow Kunik.

What are the steps to make real change happen in your community association?
For the last few weeks, I have been communicating with a gentleman who lives in a very large planned community: one of those developments with so many sub-associations and residents that it could certainly be incorporated as its own municipality at some point.
This man (we'll call him Mr. Smith) outlined a litany of serious problems in his community and told a tale of graft, greed and corruption that was hard to believe. Mr. Smith had been doing battle with a group that he described as operating as a de facto master association with no documentary authority whatsoever.
In order to make the association better, he advised that the community needed a new board, new management and new lawyers. Mr. Smith clearly had goals but no idea how to accomplish them. My first problem when trying to help Mr. Smith was the need to sift through e-mails that consisted of no less than 20 paragraphs each time. The second challenge was getting Mr. Smith to answer basic questions about what he had previously done to effectuate change, how many of his neighbors supported his efforts and what kind of resources he had amassed to do battle.
At this point, Mr. Smith had little more than a list of serious complaints and a desire to change his community. What he needed was a strategy, some resources and an advocate to assist him. I was not confident that all of Mr. Smith's assertions were correct nor was I confident that I could assist him. The results from my communications with him is the following checklist for individuals wishing to make real changes in their community and the shortest, most efficient path to take.
- Always start with communication. If you suspect things are awry, schedule an appointment with the board and see if you can sit down and have a dialogue. It is easier to do this outside an open meeting where the board may feel attacked in front of the membership. If you are given the chance to speak privately with less than a quorum of the board, don't start out with accusations; start with questions and listen.
- If you cannot speak with the board or those communications don't result in change, the next step is to start gathering information. Owners are entitled to review the association's governing documents so review them. It would be more productive to have a list of specific documents you wish to inspect as opposed to a 'fishing expedition' that could take days or weeks. If you are denied the opportunity to inspect your the association's official records, keep track of all communications in that regard.
- Speak to your neighbors and see if they have had similar experiences and observations. This does not mean slandering the board, making wild accusations that are unsupported or other nonproductive communications. If you are to gather your neighbors' support, you will have to present yourself as reasonable, concerned and legitimate. If none of your neighbors agree with your concerns, that is the first sign that this problem might be exclusive to you and your sensitivities or your unique perspective. If that is the case, your chances of changing an entire community to suit your needs is slim.
- Contact the Division and/or Ombudsman's Office if the nature of your complaint is the proper subject matter for either of these agencies. These resources are free but your expectations must be reasonable about the length of time it may take them to assist you and their ability to fully resolve the problem.
- Ask yourself how much you are really willing to spend to make the changes you think are necessary. Most attorneys are not likely to take your case on a pro bono basis and contacting your legislator's office to fight a personal battle with your board is not likely to accomplish your goals either.
- When you find an attorney with whom you'd like to pursue the matter, keep your communications clear and concise. Avoid editorializing and keep your assumptions and accusations to a minimum. Stick to the facts so he or she can map out the most effective strategy for you. If more than one attorney tells you that you have little to no chance at successfully pursuing your matter, you should listen.
Change can happen in community associations that are in need of it. I've seen and personally assisted individuals making those kinds of changes. However, the folks who are successful at this always have the following in common: they are reasonable and rational, they have significant community support and resources and they have taken the time to map out a sound strategy and follow it diligently to the end. The old saying: "If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there" really holds true in these situations.

ZF-10345: HeadLink View Helper does not allow "id" attribute
The HeadLink View Helper does not allow the "id" attribute. This makes it impossible to include Mozilla Bespin via the HeadLink helper, as it is dependent on using the id attribute. Using the id attribute on link elements is valid, and I can see no reason why this was not included. There are also several other use cases, such as determining if a link has already been included by using a id for it.

CSPI Reaction to IOM Report on Food Labeling
Related Links
December 11, 2003
The Center for Science in the Public Interest petitioned the FDA in 1994 to require trans fat to be listed on labels and in 1999 to set a Daily Value (recommended daily limit) for refined/added sugars and to include a line for those sugars on Nutrition Facts labels. Todays IOM report addresses both of those issues. In addition to the comments below of CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson, a list of the food-industry connections the members of the IOM committee is available here.
Vitamins and Minerals: "Of greatest concern, the committee proposed that labels recommend lower levels of most vitamins and minerals. The committee advised the FDA to select 'daily values' (DVs) that meet only the average needs of the average person. Current DVs meet the needs of almost everyone.
"For example, the proposed DV for vitamin D (280 IU) would be one-third less than the current DV and half what seniors need (600 IU). The proposed DV for iron (6 mg) would be only one-third of the current DV (18 mg) and of what women of childbearing age need. The DVs for folate, calcium, magnesium, vitamin K, and most other nutrients would also drop. A young woman who eats a cereal fortified with 100 percent of the DV for most vitamins and minerals would actually get only one-third of the iron and half of the folic acid she needs. If FDA accepts the panel's advice, companies would likely reduce the amounts of vitamins and minerals they add to foods and supplements.
"I'm concerned that these drastic changes indicate a lack of concern for the public's health."
Trans Fat: The IOM committees indictment of trans fat hammers another nail in the coffin of trans fat in the food supply. The FDA needs to both implement the committees recommendation on labelinga combined Daily Value for saturated and trans fatand limit trans fat to very low levels in shortening and processed foods.
Added Sugars: Though the committee did not propose a daily limit for refined sugars, it recognized concerns about those sugars and exhorted the FDA to act with urgency use the food label to inform consumers about them. The FDA should now begin a rule-making to respond to the new report and to the Center for Science in the Public Interests petition calling for labeling of refined sugars. If the FDA doesnt opt for listing refined sugars in the Nutrition Facts panel, it should consider a special consumer alert on soft drinks, candy, and other sugary foods.
Committee Makeup: I can only wonder how much stronger the committees recommendations would have been if the committee had not been so top-heavy with food-industry consultants and grant recipients. All but one of the committee members have had major or minor financial relationships with the food industry, including two people who serve on the boards of directors of trade associations. Biographies included in the IOM report fail to disclose that Fergus Clydesdale is chairman of the board of trustees of the industry-funded International Life Sciences Institute, as well as numerous corporate affiliations of other members.

ZF-11710: Zend_Filter_Input considers empty Arrays as valid data
When an empty array is given to a Zend_Filter_Input for validation, it's considered as not empty and isValid() method returns true.
Here is a simple snippet that reproduce the bug :
require_once 'Zend/Filter/Input.php';
require_once 'Zend/Validate/NotEmpty.php';
$input = new Zend_Filter_Input(null, array('test' => array()));
$input->setData(array('test' => array()));
if ($input->isValid()) {
echo "Array is not empty\n";
} else {
echo "Array is empty\n";
$input->setData(array('test' => ''));
if ($input->isValid()) {
echo "String is not empty\n";
} else {
echo "String is empty\n";
It will display : Array is not empty String is empty
As Zend_Validate_NotEmpty, Zend_Filter_Input should considers that an empty array is an empty value, and is not valid.
I made a little patch that seems to solve the problem and that don't break unit tests, but it seems that I can't add an attachment. If anyone tell me how, I'll put it here :)
You need to have signed a CLA in order to attach files. The reason is that we cannot apply patches coming from non-CLA'd sources. Once you have, you should see the "Attach Files" entry under the "More Actions" dropdown at the top of the issue.
Thank you for your answer, I thought CLA was only needed for commiting, not for attaching files. I'm taking care of it quickly.
Here is a patch that works for me applied on the 1.11.10 tag.
With this little "fix", empty arrays given to Zend_Filter_Input are no longer considered as valid.

In the Book of Judges 2:10 it says that after the death of Joshua and his generation, "there arose another generation after them, who knew not Hashem nor the deed which He had done for Israel." Implicit in this sentence is that there was no one around who knew Torah (certainly if the entire generation did not know Hashem or His deeds on behalf of Israel, it is kind of hard to believe that they knew or believed in either the Written or Oral Torah). G-d, soon thereafter brings on the Judges (Judges 2:16). But if the knowledge of Hashem was lost and forgotton by the previous generation, wasn't there a break in the line of tradition of the Oral Torah, even if G-d restored it through the Judges?

Pirke Avot 1:1:
That "a generation arose" does not have to mean every single person after Joshua. It could be that most but not all did not know Hashem (but you only need a few), or it could be rhetorical. Or, as Hacham Gabriel points out in a comment, knowing Hashem isn't strictly necessary to know or follow (most) torah.

Ammon Scores Game Winner as Princeton Rallies to Take Down No. 4 Quinnipiac
Box Score
HAMDEN, Conn. (11/23/13) – The Princeton men's hockey team scored three goals in the final 10 minutes to skate to a 4-3 win over No. 4 Quinnipiac on Saturday, Nov. 23 at TD Bank Sports Center.
Princeton (3-8, 2-6) handed Quinnipiac (11-2-1, 6-1-1) its first loss in 13 games thanks to a goal by senior Andrew Ammon with 2:24 left in regulation. Ammon intercepted a pass at the top of the right circle and buried the puck gloveside.
Princeton's last win over a team ranked in the top 5 was Nov. 9, 2012, a 5-3 win over Cornell. The win also snapped the Tigers' five-game winless streak in the series with their travel partner.
Senior captain Jack Berger started the rally with a goal at 10:38 when he scored off a face off deep in the zone, which was won by Aaron Kesselman. Sophomore Mike Ambrosia tallied his second goal of the season at 16:32 on one knee after a pass between three defenders from Ammon left the right side open for the goal. Freshman Marlon Sabo was credited with his second assist in his third career game.
For the second straight game the teams played a scoreless first period, before Quinnipiac grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first 2:11 of the second period.
Freshman Sam Anas scored a goal in transition after a shot by Ambrosia was stopped by Garteig and taken up the ice by Kellen Jones. Jones sent a cross-ice pass to Anas who rifled the puck top shelf 21 seconds into the period. Jones made it 2-0 at 2:11 after some back-and-forth with brother Connor Jones. Kellen lifted the shot from the same location Anas did, over the shoulder of netminder Colton Phinney.
Senior Eric Carlson got one back when he scored a power-play goal at 17:57 of the second. Princeton converted on its fifth power-play opportunity and Carlson snapped a 17-game scoring skid with his tally. Incidentally his last goal was Dec. 7 against Quinnipiac. Sophomore Kevin Liss collected a dump-in and found freshman Ryan Siiro on the checkered red. He passed off to Carlson in the slot and Carlson beat Garteig for the goal. It was Liss' first career point.
The Bobcats regained the two-goal lead 42 seconds into the third with a goal just as penalty time expired on a Princeton penalty. The Tigers weren't able to get the fifth skater into the play before Kellen Jones scored his second of the night.
With about 40 seconds remaining, goaltender Michael Garteig skated to the bench in favor of the extra skater but the Tigers held on for the win. Garteig finished the game with 14 saves in his second loss of the year.
Phinney made a career-high 32 saves in his first career win. He stopped 31 shots on Friday night against Quinnipiac.
Princeton was 1 for 5 on the power play and 4 for 4 on the penalty kill.
Princeton travels to Michigan State to play a pair of games with the Spartans during Thanksgiving weekend.

SMART 2020 website tracks ICT industry's progress in tackling climate change
- Date
- 14 December 2009
London. The Climate Group, BT and the Digital Energy Solutions Campaign (DESC) today launched 'SMART 2020: Pathways to scale' a website that will track progress made by the information and communications technology (ICT) industry in tackling climate change.
Case studies already hosted on SMART2020.org show that progress has been made but there is much more to be done, highlights winning strategies, and makes some key recommendations that the industry should work towards.
The opportunity for the global ICT industry to reduce global emissions by 15% in 2020, saving global businesses over 500 billion, was outlined in The Climate Group's 2008 report, SMART 2020: Enabling the low carbon economy in the information age.
The SMART 2020: Pathways to Scale case studies reveal both winning strategies and gaps where action by the industry required:
- Partnerships: When companies with different skills sets or assets work together to find a holistic energy efficiency solution the results are much more impressive than the sum of individual parts.
- Cross-sector implementation: Most existing products still only play to one or two market segments (e.g. buildings or logistics). Different energy efficiency products have largely not been integrated to provide an end-to-end solution.
- Optimization, not only behavior change. Large scale behavior change on the part of the consumer is required but is not happening at present. We need to look at ways of optimizing the energy savings and linking these to real cost savings to create the financial incentives for the consumer.
- Policies beyond a carbon price. Policy barriers have arisen in unexpected places, for example anti-competitiveness laws have in some cases prevented companies working together. A carbon price alone will not be sufficient to drive the green revolution.
"Pathways to Scale shows that we still have some way to go to achieving the SMART 2020 goal. But the lessons learnt are very useful," said Molly Webb, Director of Strategic Engagement, The Climate Group.
Recommendations coming out of the Pathways to Scale analysis say that what is needed to scale up 'smart' solutions are:
- Real-time energy information for all from consumers, to businesses to national governments this is the only way to ensure we measure and manage what we use.
- Policies to encourage 40% energy efficiency across sectors (appliances, buildings, transport) - we know this is achievable but need the policy incentives to encourage action.
- Pilots with a focus on the urban level to test the application of new technologies, as well as the new policies and financial models required for scale up.
- A smart grid (from power generation to appliance) with standards that allow anything and everything to become part of it
"User-generated content drove Web 2.0, and user-generated energy information and 'the internet of things is our future. With a strong global agreement to tackle climate change, ICT infrastructure will be a key enabler in the short term of carbon efficiency on a global scale," added Webb.
Chris Tuppen, Chief Sustainability Officer at BT, said, "The SMART 2020 report showed that ICT could play a very significant role in helping tackle climate change. This latest research highlights the need to link a number of ICT solutions to deliver the level of transformational change needed to establish the low carbon economy. This will mostly happen through innovative public/private partnerships."
Stephen Harper, Global Director of Environment and Energy Policy at Intel Corporation and Co-Chairman of DESC, said, "ICT has a significant role to play in improving the energy efficiency and reducing the climate footprint of virtually every sector of the global economy. The Pathways project takes this work another step by documenting some of the specific ICT projects and applications that are being implemented to make this potential a reality."

No. 8 Womens Water Polo Sweeps Final Day at Aztec Invite
The No. 8 Princeton women's water polo team concluded the Aztec Invitational with a pair of victories Sunday. The Tigers opened with a 16-3 win over Cal Lutheran, before wrapping up the tournament with a 7-4 victory over host No. 19 San Diego State.
Led by a pair of Ashley Hatcher first quarter goals, Princeton jumped out to a 4-0 lead over Cal Lutheran. From there it was all Tigers, as they expanded their advantage to 9-0 by halftime.
Princeton's clean sheet was broken up in the third quarter, but it was not enough to derail a cruising Tiger side.
Facing its third ranked team of the weekend, Princeton went down early 1-0 versus 19th-ranked San Diego State. The early deficit was countered by a pair of Jessie Holechek goals to send the teams into the break tied 2-2.
The Tigers picked up the pace in the third quarter and began to separate themselves from the Aztecs, outscoring SDSU 3-1 over the period and closing out the second half on a 5-2 run.
Holechek captained the offense with three goals, while Molly McBee added three steals.
Goalie Ashleigh Johnson was hammered early and made six of her 14 stops in the first quarter alone.
After going 3-1 at the invitational, Princeton improves to 17-1 on the year. The Tigers head next to Los Angeles for a four-game slate at the LMU Zumo Invite from Mar. 21-22.
