If you plan to run for Congress in 2014, then you may want to get your paperwork in order and empty out your bank account this morning. Candidates have until noon today, May 2, 2014 to qualify to be on the primary or general election ballot in Florida. If you plan to run for other public offices such as Governor and Cabinet, State Senator, State Representative, County Offices or any of the Special Districts, then you have until the middle of next month to qualify.
Many Florida U.S. House candidates have already qualified and were legally able to do so at the beginning of this week. As of this morning, in Florida's District 22 race incumbent Lois Frankel is the only Democrat to have qualified and so far, there are three Republicans who will face off in the primary on August 26, 2014, another had announced, however has not yet qualified. There also could be one or two last minute candidates who did not announce, however may file their qualification papers this morning. Also, District 22 has a Write-In candidate who has qualified by the name of Raymond Schamis.
There are only two Libertarian Party candidates who have announced to running for the U.S. House this year and they are Matt Schnackenberg in District 11 and Ray Netherwood in District 19. Libertarian Ray Netherwood has qualified and will be on the ballot for the District 19 Special Election being held on June 23, 2014. The disgraced Trey Radel, who resigned after being arrested under cocaine possession charges, made the District 19 seat available. Netherwood has been running an active and serious campaign in the Pinellas County district.
We will be doing a follow-up story once all the candidates have qualified so we know for certain who will be on the ballot for voters to choose. Unlike the general media, we will keep you informed of all the candidates running in the political races, not just the Republican and Democrats.

Eastern faces North Dakota in Grand Forks
October 10, 2013 | Vol. 117 -- No. 25
Grand Forks might be new territory for the Eastern Washington University football team, but not to their head coach Beau Baldwin.
While the Eagles (1-0 Big Sky, 3-2 overall) will visit the city of some 50,000 that sits smack dab on the eastern border of the state, Baldwin has been to the Alerus Center before and he wants to make sure the result of the last visit is not duplicated.
That was Sept. 15, 2007 when his Central Washington University Wildcats fell short in a 35-28 loss to the then No. 2 ranked NCAA Division II Fighting Sioux. CWU twice battled back to tie the score only to see UND...

Many older people report that they sleep less than they did before. Sleeping less could be due to numerous factors such as frequent urination, leg cramps, back pain, and worry about finances or health issues. A new brain imaging study indicates that when middle aged and older people sleep less, the normal structural changes that occur as we age happen slightly faster. In fact, the study shows that for the over-55 study participants, the brain changes could be seen accelerating with each hour of sleep they missed each night. This is a particularly important discovery that can help researchers learn more about cognitive decline, including dementia.
Researchers at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore examined the data of 66 older Chinese adults from the Singapore-Longitudinal Aging Brain Study. In the study the participants underwent structural MRI brain scans that measured brain volume, and neuropsychological assessments of cognitive function every two years. Their sleep duration was recorded through a questionnaire, and the researchers found that the participants who slept fewer hours showed evidence of faster brain shrinkage and declines in cognitive performance. Brain shrinkage and a decline in cognitive function are indicators of risk of dementia. Also, blood tests showed higher levels of C-reactive protein, an indicator of inflammation. Lead author Dr June Lo concluded that the findings relate short sleep to a marker of brain aging.
Health professionals recommend that adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep each night for optimal performance and health.
If you have trouble sleeping throughout the night here are some tips that might help:
- Turn off all electronics, including television, laptops and cell phones one hour before bed.
- Refrain from eating and drinking two hours before bedtime.
- If you are hungry, eat a banana before bed.
- Install blackout curtains or heavy shades to block out light.
- If noise is a bother, use a white noise machine or ear plugs.
- Sprinkle lavender oil on your pillowcase to help you relax.
- Take a hot bath with Epsom salts.
- Ask a naturopath or herbalist at your local natural foods store for a recommendation of a sleep remedy.
- Consider getting a more comfortable mattress and/or pillow.
Lights out, good night!

So, we're trying to go on a quick minitrip. I posted an ad on craigslist looking for a sitter and I found one with decent experience and she emailed me she charged $25/hr!!!
Are you insane?!?! Are you teaching my children trigonometry?
I have the SAME background and experience with children and have only ever charged $10/hr. And that's what we pay sitters here- heck thats what I've heard is kinda the average all over. I cannot believe someone would have the nerve to expect to be paid that much to sit and watch Cinderella for a couple hours.
Sorry had to get that off my chest a little. I'd rather just take the kids with us if that's really the going rate!

Basic mods for Xbox
View Single Post

The short answer is that you can add new things to the XBox version of the game, but usually it is just easier to say "no" and so often we do. You're on the right track in that you have your box set up to be modded, but you'll need to recreate the batch files that compile source files into the .lvl files used by the game.
Your memory limitations are more stringent than the PC version allows. I can't give you a step-by-step myself since I've never changed the batch files (nor do I own an Xbox and as such this is something I couldn't care less about), but from what I understand you should have at least a cursory knowledge of how SWBF2 mods on PC work and what the munge (compile) process entails.
Feel free to take a look through
this topic
here and garner what you can from it - the point remains that you will need to have a basic knowledge of working with SWBF2 mods, because the majority of what you're talking about will be significantly easier to do with creating new .lvl files in whole or in part to either add in their entirety or to add in chunks into preexisting .lvl files (with hex-editing, as you mention) . If you are open to suggestion I would offer these:
-Do a little bit of SWBF2 PC modding (at least play around with the tools and learn how to make sides)
-Send a message to the user who created the abovementioned topic and see if he's willing to share any information with you.

A New Mexico witness driving eastbound along I-10 about 15 miles outside of Deming reported a "white, blimp-like orb" object that both hovered and then suddenly moved at high speeds, according to February 13, 2014, testimony in Case 54041 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
After noticing the odd-looking object on February 11, 2014, the witness pulled into a gas station for about 20 minutes to get a better look.
"It never moved an inch," the witness stated. "Hard to tell how high or far it was."
The witness was with a friend who was driving and they got back onto the highway, but continued to watch the object.
"About 15 minutes later, after leaving the gas station, it ascended a good 500 feet or so and started moving east while slightly changing shapes. It moved along with our car, maybe two miles from us, and after about eight minutes, it stopped above a mountain and stayed there until we finally lost sight by driving close to Las Cruces, NM."
The witness tried to rule out known objects.
"The skies were clear so it wasn't hard to notice an object standing still in the sky. I first thought it was an airplane, helicopter, or blimp. But it is impossible for any human made aircraft to stand perfectly still for that long and then suddenly start moving at 75 mph along with our car. I got excited when I first saw it, but then when it moved, I didn't expect it, so it freaked me out. I started seeing purple spots in my vision and feeling light headed in a scared way. I think that's just me though from anxiety. Lost sight as we approached Las Cruces and the sun started falling."
No images or videos of the object were included with the report, which was filed on February 13, 2014. Deming is a city in Luna County, NM, population 14,855. New Mexico has a UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a lower number of recent reports nationally. New Mexico was the 25th highest reporting state with 7 reports in January 2014 - while California had 102 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation.
You can read more details about other recently reported cases at the UFO Examiner home page.
The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or man-made. If New Mexico MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Later on they told us that no one was manning the table. You simply looked at the price list (ex. $1 per pound for fresh tomatoes), picked out what you want and then put your money in a drop box. That's it. Talk about trust! It makes me smile that places like that still exist in our country. I will definitely be stopping there next week.

Metro Redux | PS4
In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the earth's surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age.
The year is 2033. An entire generation has been born and raised underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await outside.
You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised underground. Having never ventured beyond the city limits, one fateful event sparks a desperate mission to the heart of the Metro system, to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible impending threat.
But will they even listen? Rather than stand united, the factions of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever.
Including the epic single-player campaigns of both Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, Metro Redux takes you on a journey from the forgotten catacombs beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands above, where your actions will determine the fate of mankind.
Metro Redux is the ultimate double game collection, including the definitive versions of both Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, each rebuilt in the latest and greatest iteration of the 4A Engine for next-gen consoles and PC.
For the first time, console owners can expect smooth 60FPS gameplay and state of the art visuals that were once only available on high-end PC hardware.
Newcomers to the series will get the chance to experience two of the finest story-driven shooters of all time in one vast package; an epic adventure combining gripping survival horror, exploration and tactical combat and stealth.
Fans of the original games will find the unique world of Metro transformed with incredible new lighting, physics and dynamic weather effects, as well as a host of gameplay improvements and new features.
All the enhancements from the acclaimed sequel 'Metro: Last Light' have been transferred to Metro 2033 Redux - superior AI, controls, animation, weapon handling and many more. And both campaigns benefit from all-new melee animations, the ability to check your watch and ammo supplies on the fly, and new full-body player animations.
Those who favoured the more survival-horror oriented gameplay of 'Metro 2033' can play both campaigns in the 'Survival' Play-Style, a fraught, slow burn fight for survival. Those who enjoyed the more action-oriented gameplay of 'Metro: Last Light' can try the 'Spartan' Play-Style, providing Artyom with a powerful set of combat skills.
With the legendary Ranger Mode included to offer an extra layer of challenge and immersion, and all previous released DLC, Metro Redux offers 50+ hours of AAA FPS gameplay for an incredible price.
Immerse yourself in the Moscow Metro - witness one of the most atmospheric worlds in gaming brought to life with stunning next-gen visuals at 60FPS
Brave the horrors of the Russian apocalypse - equip your gasmask and an arsenal of hand-made weaponry as you face the threat of deadly mutants, human foes, and the terrifying environment itself
Rebuilt and Remastered for next gen - with all previous DLC content included, new modes and features, and many gameplay improvements, this is the definitive version of the critically acclaimed series that fans and newcomers alike will enjoy
Two campaigns, and all DLC included - Metro Redux includes two complete campaigns that combine to create one epic solo adventure, plus a further 10 hours of bonus content. Two unique Play Styles and Ranger Mode add hours more replayablity !
Two unique Play Styles : 'Spartan' and 'Survival' - approach the campaign as a slow burn Survival Horror , or tackle it with the combat skills of a Spartan Ranger in these two unique modes
The legendary Ranger Mode returns - dare you play the fearsome Ranger Mode? No HUD, UI, deadlier combat and limited resources combine to create the ultimate immersive experience

For backup purposes we have Cifs file Server running that contains encrypted containers for backing up the more sensitive data. The container is mounted with cryptsetup and loop as a local filesystem and the rsync is used for backups.
Because the Cifs server is not the fastest machine ever built, running the rsync process results in an iowait on the servers running the backup which in turn drives Nagios into an email frenzy. The question is, how do reduce the iowait on the server? Configuring Nagios to not report seems more like a workaround then a solution. Stretching the backups over different time intervals is already done with little effect and spending money is also not an option because apparently, we are talking about a "non-critical system".

For nearly five years, a group of marijuana growers hid their extensive operation underneath a barn in Simpson County. They thought no one knew they were growing weed with a street value of $3.3 million but last Friday, Feb. 2, 2007, the last of all four defendants were sentenced in federal court.
Cecil Sherman Hume Jr. will serve seventeen years in prison but before he goes, Anna Smithson sat down with Hume in a WBKO exclusive on-camera interview, to see why he took part in this operation.
"It's not too late for me; it's over for me when I come out. I'm just going to be an old man," Hume said.
Cecil Hume will spend nearly the rest of his adult life behind bars. He helped build and maintain the facility in Simpson County where nearly 750 marijuana plants were being grown but said he had good intentions from the start.
"I wasn't making enough money to help my mother and give her what she needed," Hume said.
Hume's mother had medical bills that were getting pretty steep and only planned on being a part of the operation until he could get ahead.
"I wasn't planning on continuing much longer. As soon as I had my shop paid off, I planned on going straight," Hume said.
And if he could turn back time ...
"I did eight and a half years in prison and should have learned my lesson then but I got back out and fell back into my old ways," Hume admitted.
Hume wants his story to be one that young people involved in drugs learn from.
"If you break the law, you're going to end up right here where I am," Hume added and said for the ones who are already behind bars, "I'll find a mission here. I'll talk to the younger ones and help them deal with the difficulties their having."
Hume feels everyone needs to be a productive party of society who are out taking care of their children, working and paying taxes and for the ones who choose not to. You will end up right where he is because, "It's pretty much too late for me."
Co-defendant Dale Snoody pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute marijuana and conspiracy to manufacture 1,000 or more marijuana plants and was sentenced to three years and one month imprisonment.
Other co-defendants Gary Wayne Bullington and Trudy Elliott Jackson pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute marijuana and manufacturing 100 or more marijuana plants. Bullington was sentenced to three years and one month, while Jackson was sentenced to one year and six months.
All defendants will have some supervised release following incarceration.

Networking - How to stand out in a crowd
By Stewart Townsend on Oct 08, 2009
Many people think of business or social networking as circulating around a room and exchanging business cards. But a broader view of business and social networking is that it creates a pool of contacts from which you can draw leads, referrals, ideas, and information for your job search and career progress. You can network without ever attending an official business or social networking event, although attending events is useful in networking.
The means is not only face to face events, but also Linked In, Facebook, e-mail, Conference Calls, etc. In a nutshell, any form of communication is an opportunity for networking. The "trick" is to be prepared, ready to promote yourself, present the right image to the right people, and use your networking contacts and events as opportunities for development.
Wisdom in a nutshell about networking:
- Networking is essential for both new jobs and business contracts.
- Effective networking is 12 times more effective than answering advertisements.
- Advertising is becoming ineffective except on a large scale.
- Networking helps you find hidden opportunities and can set you apart from the competition.
- An indirect approach is better than a direct one. Use someone you know to introduce you to your target contact. Never go straight to your target without a go-between who will put in a good word for you.
- You can overcome your natural shyness, your fear of using people, and your fear of rejection.
The three key networking techniques are:
- Build a network of partners to keep an open eye and ear for new opportunities for you.
- Reach targeted individuals in two ways: directly or indirectly.
- Build
visibility by raising your profile. Go to every social gathering you
possibly can. Building your network is an ongoing process. You need to
increase your range of contacts constantly.
Planning your networking campaign:
- Define your objective.
- Select the right technique.
- Understand that "deal flow" or your number of prospects must be great in order to bag one new business contract.
- Identify your target.
- Work out your positioning. This is a short statement of what you are about, what you can offer.
- Think about what you can do for your network partners in exchange for information and contacts.
Building networking partners:
- Talk to everyone you know about opportunities.
- Clarify what network partners can and will do for you.
- Know which contacts to build into network partners.
- Find those friendly network spiders, those types of people who just seem to know everyone.
- Use the telephone.
How to grow and refresh your network:
- Go out of your way to be where people are.
- Get into the habit of being talkative.
- Get the contact details of people you meet - not just exchanging business cards, but stapling information like birthdays, anniversaries, hobby clubs, and key information onto their cards.
- Choose the right method for the right person.
- Warm up long-cold contacts.
How to find targeted individuals for your network:
- Focus on what you want to achieve and how people can help you.
- Use your network partners to find suitable companies.
- Gather key information on these companies.
- Figure out who is the one with the power to hire you.
- Find people connections and common areas of interest.
Reaching targets through network partners:
- Find and persuade the best partner for your targeted individual.
- Engineer an introduction.
- Build word-of-mouth exchanges about yourself.
Reaching networking targets directly:
- Decide if you should write a letter or not.
- Be able to demonstrate your achievements.
- Have a line ready to get you past the secretary.
- Act as though you expect to be put through.
- Be ready to leave a short, persuasive message for the decision-maker.
Your networking opening line:
- Be cheerful, confident and straightforward.
- Exploit connections and recommendations.
- Mention common interests.
- Report news of interest to the target.
- Wait for a response. Know when to shut up.
- Write down your opening lines before picking up the phone.
How to be visible without really trying while networking:
- Ask a question at a conference.
- Make a point in a meeting.
- Write letters to your industry magazine.
- Introduce yourself to lots of people at an industry show or ball.
- Buy people a drink at the bar at a lecture.
- Discuss a book with an industry leader.
- Wear bright SHIRTS
- Make people laugh.
- Have an opinion on everything. (But keep an open mind.)
- Hand out an unusual business card. (mine is a postcard size )
- Recast your CV to be a little different.
- Take up an unusual hobby - but not too unusual.
- Don't overlook using the email and Internet to communicate your cause.
So some hints and tips, mainly be yourself and be chatty, listen and enjoy yourself if you are in a crowd and feeling uncomfortable or not happy it will show and be picked up, thus don't attend an event if in a negative mood as this can have a massive impact. Think of you and what you are doing as a brand, how you want to represent yourself is key, don't try to be something you are not, if you don't like, Fly fishing you don't like it so dont pretend you do.
Go out have Fun, build your network, nurture it and they require upkeep in terms of pruning, feeding, watering and physical needs to grow, neglect them and they willow and fade away.

ok so, i am hopefully (depending on transport) going to a show with my 15hh TB x mare Lilly in june. We have never been to a show before either of us as lilly was never shown with previous owners, so was wondering how could i calm her as she gets quite nervous/fizzy in new places?
I have beige jods, black show jacket, black hat, black jod boots and black chaps.
I was hoping to do more inhand showing with her because she gets quite nervous in new places and goes to rodeo in canter in a place she doesn't know too well, if i do any ridden classes any tips?
any tips for showing classes?
I was just wondering, what type classes should i enter her in?
also any tips for plaiting her mane? it is quite thick and when me and my friend attemted to plait her up, they all fell out and looked... well not like golf balls. also she has rubbed it short about three quarters of the way down, any tips?
as you can tell we are total newcomers to showing so any other tips would be greatly appreciated!
sorry it's a bit long :) thanks x

she's a very nice put together mare. I'd maybe look at a really small show first, or get a small show on the yard to let her see everything. She'd make a gorgeous little small hack, or small riding horse. You'd maybe need to make sure the plaits are tight enough to themselves, and a touch of hairspray, and just thinning the mare would probably help too.
It has been calculated thay any two thoroughbreds picked at random will on average have more than 13% of their genes in common.

High feed prices and negative profit margins are causing many livestock, dairy and poultry producers to reduce their herds and flocks.
Some are choosing to exit animal agriculture altogether.
The president of the American Soybean Association, Steve Wellman of Syracuse, Nebraska, says the long-term impact of what he calls "demand destruction" for soybeans and feed grains is a big concern.
"It takes a little time to build that back up when they do get to a situation where the feed supply is sufficient and they can get back into business—and be in a profitable business at that point in time," Wellman says. "You can't expect livestock producers—or anybody in this industry—to continue to operate when they're not profitable."
Wellman hopes for a big crop year in 2013 to get things back on track.
"We need to respond as well as we can from the grain and soybean sector next year—to increase our production," he says. "I think we're ready to do that—but we're going to need help from Mother Nature to respond to that."
Wellman made those comments in an interview with Brownfield at the recent drought meeting in Omaha.

GameSpot reports that Valve is now scheduled to complete the game in time for the holidays, that's according to the game's publisher Vivendi Universal.
When Valve announced Half-Life 2 in early May, some were surprised by Valve's firm insistence that the game would be ready to ship on September 30. Today we received word from the game's publisher, Vivendi Universal, that Half-Life 2's release has been delayed until later this year. Without commenting on the delay, a Vivendi Universal representative reaffirmed that the game would ship this year, sometime during the holiday season.Let's hope that Nvidia seizes this (unexpected) opportunity to resolve its well publicised Half-Life 2 bug.

The red-hot Bridgeport Bluefish, fresh off a three-game sweep of the archrival New York Ducks on Long Island, took their roadshow to Lancaster, Pa., last night where the Barnstormers became Bridgeport's latest victim, 4-0, before 3,817 fans at Clipper Magazine Stadium on Thursday night.
The 'Fish opened the game with a two-run rally in the top of the first, and never relinquished the lead. With two outs, Bridgeport first baseman Luis Lopez drove home James Simmons and Prentice Redman, and the Bluefish never looked back. Three innings later, Bridgeport upped it's lead to 3-0 when outfielder Fred Lewis, acquired from the Barnstormers before the game for a player to be named later, paid immediate dividends when he banged out a solo shot in the top of the fourth. It was the seven-year major league veteran's first at-bat with the 'Fish. Lewis entered the game replacing Casper Wells in left field in the bottom of the third. Bridgeport closed out the scoring the following inning when center fielder James Simmons drove home second baseman Juan Martinez with a single.
Bridgeport starter D.J. Mitchell had a brilliant effort in earning his sixth victory for the Bluefish. Mitchell (6-6) tossed eight scoreless innings and allowed just six hits and one walk while striking out six batters. Tim Gustafson tossed a scoreless ninth for the 'Fish. Lancaster starter Chris Schwinden (9-2) took the loss, giving up four runs on eight hits in seven pitched. The Bluefish, winners of five straight, improved to 10-5 in the second half, and are in first place in the Liberty Division of the Atlantic League, two games ahead of first-half champ Somerset.
Tonight the Bluefish continue their series in Lancaster with game two. First pitch is slated for 7 p.m., and the game can be heard by searching for Newsradio 1390 WLAN on iHeart radio, or by clicking HERE. The 'Fish will return home to The Ballpark at Harbor Yard where they will commence on a four-game series with the Ducks on Sunday, July 27, with a day-night, two-admission doubleheader.

Replacement Windows
Heartland vinyl replacement Windows and doors are individually manufactured to precisely fit the existing openings in your home. Various custom-made styles include patio doors, bays, bows, sliders, double hungs, casements, basement and garden windows. Install Heartland Windows and save on remodeling and energy costs while adding value to your home. Designed with you in mind, Heartland Windows are comfortable to live with and easy to maintain.
Becoming a dominant force in the Midwestern window market is no easy task. But Heartland Window Manufacturing Company, specialists in vinyl replacement windows, has achieved that status thanks to a very simple philosophy: sell quality and craftsmanship, not price and false promises.
Heartland offers an extensive line of products that are certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), the Energy Star Windows Program, vinyl replacement windows and the Mid-American Utilities rebate program. These endorsements are possible only through rigorous attention to every detail of the manufacturing process. From linear profiles to hardware and glazings, Heartland uses only the uppermost quality components available.
Casement Windows
"For the Lifestyle You Deserve"
In today's fast-paced world, two things are always at the premium: your time and your money.
Heartland uPVC-vinyl Casement windows are designed to help you keep more of both. Their new generation technology eliminates just about every other type of time-consuming maintenance. And their innovative engineering helps you to save money on your energy bills while keeping your new windows as affordable as they are attractive.
Keeps your free time free
There are no weekend-consuming labors associated with them. Not even storms or screens to repair and change. A little soap and water replaces the frustrating activities of scraping and painting - letting you spend your free time golfing, fishing, or doing whatever you like to do.
Superior function over a lifetime
Heartland Casement windows are made with an innovative glazing system that prevents sash sagging. Through a unique deal glazing wedge, the weight of the glass is transferred away from the open sash to the center of the window, providing long-lasting operation and energy saving seals.
Long-lasting beauty
Maximum energy efficiency
Their vinyl material and multi-chamber design make them as energy-efficient as the best wood windows. And more than 1000 times better than aluminum. It also helps them keep your home better insulated from outside noise.
Heartland Casement windows have fusion welded corners. Fusion welding creates an airtight seal by essentailly making one continuous piece of material out of the frame and another out of the sash. This eliminates the cracks or openings at the corners that let air - and energy dollars - out.
Smart ventilation, smart options
Even locking and unlocking the window has been made easy. Heartland window locks make hard-to-reach windows easy to reach. They can also be made to better accommodate the needs of the physically challenged, young adults and senior citizens.
Classic looks
Heartland Awning Windows
Classic in appearance these windows include modern Heartland features like long-lasting beauty, convenient hardware, superior ventilation and a wide range of supplementals for fast, easy installations.
Glass options
Heartland windows are designed to meet or exceed the most stringent energy and performance requirements for the lifestyle you deserve.
Double Hung Windows
"For the Lifestyle You Deserve"
Heartland double hung windows are the perfect choice to replace your old windows. Their uPVC vinyl technology virtually eliminates maintenance, helping you save time and money. Heartland designs also provide energy benefits far superior to that of conventional vinyl windows, as well as wood and aluminum windows. And, Heartland double hung windows give you all these modern benefits with a traditional appearance that complements your home.
Elegance that fits your style
Custom fit for hassle-free installation
Innovative, time-saving design
They won't split, rot, warp, chalk, or rust when exposed to the element. There's no painting, staining, or caulking - EVER! You don't even have to change storms and screens to get full energy efficiency in winter and summer.
Cleaning is a breeze too! The frames wipe clean with soap and water. The glass tilts in so you can clean outside panes from inside your home. And, should your little league slugger break a window with a big league swing, glass replacement is a snap-out/snap-in operation and just takes 10 minutes.
Energy Efficient
Internal chambers provide captive space to insulate the frame against differences in temperature from outside to inside. This feature increases energy conservation while minimizing condensation and frost build-up in cold weather. It also helps prevent expansion and contraction of the outside wall so the window framing remains full supported at all times.
But the real key is what happens in the long term. Wood windows can deteriorate, creating leaks in several areas. Not so with Heartland windows. Since they won't decay they maintain their energy efficiency, providing you with energy savings you can count on for the long term.
Durable welded-frame Construction
Bay Window Bow Window
Heartland Tilt Slider Windows
Heartland double sliding windows incorporate the same minimal-maintenance, high strength and energy efficiency features as their traditional double hung counterparts.
Glass Options
Patio/French Doors
The patio door of the next century is available today!!
Energy efficient and packed with the features homeowners prefer, our new patio door has style to spare. But, don't let its clean elegant lines distract you from its real beauty - this spectacular patio door is virtually maintenance free!
Our new uPVC Patio Doors combine the design elements you prefer with the energy efficiency you demand.
Multi-chambered design ensures optimum energy efficiency
Low maintenance and long life
Easy-Glide door with hight-quality screen
Energy Star Windows. . .
ENERGY STAR is the national symbol for energy efficiency. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends windows with the ENERGY STAR.
What's it take to get the ENERGY STAR Label?
All ENERGY STAR qualifying windows, doors, and skylights are certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC). These independent ratings provide the basis for ENERGY STAR'S window performance requirements, which are tailored to fit the energy needs of the country's different climate regions. You can identify the region in which a window qualifies by the map located on the ENERGY STAR label.
What does that mean for the environment?
ENERGY STAR labeled windows are good for the environment because they decreasethe amount of energy needed to heat and cool homes. Most energy is produced by burning fossil fuels, which causes air pollution, smog, and global warming. By using energy more efficiently, we can prevent pollution.
ENERGY STAR Windows will provide you with year round comfort and value!
Windows are the ultimate hole in the wall. Windows frame views, provide light, and express the personality of a home.
Smart Windows for smart people!
The ENERGY STAR label provides customer trust by recognizing window performance. ENERGY STAR windows...It's what you need to know about windows

Genuine Scooter's new Stella Automatic 125 debuted on March 14 at the headquarters of Scooterworks in Chicago. Genuine Scooter Company creates iconic scooters and offers modern "twisty" scooters like the popular Buddy series and the high-performance Blur 220i. It also offers a classic all-metal "shifty" scooter called Stella. Now in 150cc four-stroke guise, Stella debuted in 2002 in classic two-stroke (oil/gas fuel mix powered with that distinctive "ring-ding-ding" sound and light blue smoke exhaust) form and was an immediate hit with both vintage scooter aficionados and those curious about the classic, Vespa-like lines of Stella. Worldwide environmental concerns put an end to the old two-stroke Stella, but the four-stroke (with oil and gasoline kept separate like in a automobile) engined version has been a good seller since it's introduction in 2012. Like all things though, the scooter business is rife with competition and something new was required to keep the old Stella going. Why not an automatic… yes, a "twisty" Stella?
Nearly three years ago, Genuine asked the Indian company LML about an automatic Stella. LML is a manufacturing partner with Genuine and has a long history of classic, Vespa-style scooters. LML has manufactured their version of the Vespa PX125, 150 and 200cc scooters since they exited their Vespa partnership agreement in the 1980s.
The Stella 125 Automatic
It take a sharp amateur eye to detect the differences in the new Stella Automatic from the old "shifty" version. The headset, front fender, most of the legshield and front suspension are highly similar. Look closer though, and the changes are noticeable. There is no shifter on the left handlebar and where there once was a clutch lever there is now a rear brake lever. Because of this, there is no need for the classic right foot-operated rear brake on the right floor. The rotating shifter is now fixed and it's gear numbers gone, but a charming piece of history, the gear indicator "dot" mysteriously remains. The only other noticeable addition to the front are two small air intakes located low on the underside of both lower edges of the legshield. This is for engine cooling, with a plenum that crosses under the floorboard, up to the engine and out new vents under the back of the seat.
Looking towards the rear of the scoot, you notice that the engine isn't there anymore. Actually, the engine no longer sticks out the right side of the scooter, under the cowl. It's now more of a in-line unit with a tidy CVT transmission cover tucked under the left cowl. The right side has a rather unconvincingly angled plastic faux spare tire cover below the cowl. It's stuck on over the ignition/ECU module, battery and other bits and not a spare tire as was original equipment from the old days (albeit on the left side). There is no spare on Stella Automatic, even though the tires and wheels are the same as on the previous versions - tubed tires with a vintage tire pattern, on 10-inch split steel wheels. An accessory tire holder rack for the rear is in the works, as are other items specific to the auto Stella. Many current accessories will fit also fit, apparently.
Fit and finish is as good as it was on the 2 and 4t versions of the Stella, which is to say varied. I've seen excellent paint, well applied and clean on some Stellas, and I've seen some orange-peel and what looked like dirt tucked away in corners of the paint on others. The fit and finish of the scooters on display at Scooterworks were of uniform good to very good quality, though, and a new quality assurance process is apparently in place to help Stellas remain competitive with the smooth plastic and excellent paint coverage of Taiwanese and some Chinese scooters. The classic P200 Vespa horn cover is the same, as are the turn signals and large glove box behind the legshield. One difference is a plastic chrome cursive script of "automatic" stuck on the lower left side of the glove box door, just above the "First Edition" of 300 number plate. Braking is the same as recent Stellas, with a strong front hydraulically-operated disc and the rear drum.
Engine-wise, it's about as different as it could be. The engine is a new LML design, and features an interesting take on engine design driven by the constraints of the classic Vespa-style body. Fitting a modern engine and transmission in the under-cowl space was a challenge, and that has resulted in a steeply angled CVT case and a near vertical cylinder head. The air filter is on the left side and, interestingly, the engine hot air (it's still an air-cooled engine) exits through a nicely trimmed exhaust plenum that directs the engine cooling air over and down below most of the CVT cover (which itself is cooled by it's own cold air intake). It's a fantastically detailed installation on the left, but on the right it's the wiring, battery and the combined CDI/ECU (yes, it has an electronically controlled carburetor - no more manual choke!) Stella Automatic also features a nifty fuel pump and auxiliary fuel intake reservoir (no more reserve tap, or even a tap). The automatic will also drain the tank dry - "it uses every bit of gas with that fuel pump and the gas gauge works a lot better!" according to Genuine Scooters Sales Manager Trey Durren. There also is a clever idle adjustment screw on a flexible stalk under the seat where the gas filler is located.
Riding impressions:
Reports were that the 125cc version of the Stella was "as quick" as the old 4-stroke version, which was also reported to be "as quick" or quicker than the old 2-stroke version of the scoot. The reports were true, as this writer and others departed Scooterworks during the scooter debut on March 14 in 50-degree temperatures.
Like most twisties, acceleration from a stop is immediate, and by avoiding that one to two shift, the automatic Stella is already a couple of scoots ahead of it's shifty brethren. I tried one scoot with seven miles and two with almost 50 each and the acceleration seemed to get noticeably better with some break-in miles. As far as top speed, it seemed that the 4-stroke version would eventually catch up, but it would probably be near the top speed. With the the extra 25cc of displacement of the four stroke shifty old Stella, it would probably see a slightly higher top speed, but that will have to wait until a side-by-side ride can be completed on similar scoots. The new Stella seems happy to cruise at 40 to 50, with probably 58 or slightly better possible under the right conditions.
Handling of the new Stella feels very familiar, but without the right side weight bias of the old Stellas. I don't know if it has a tiny bit shorter wheelbase (1"?), but it feels more responsive, ever "flickier" than the already sharp-handling Stella 4t. The Stella Automatic feels faster and smoother, but then again, it's a new scooter. There were no creaks or squeaks from the frame, headset or cowls. A longer ride will tell us if it's really that much of a better handler than the old one. It's certainly competitive with other 125cc scooters, although a Buddy 125 will probably beat it off the line and will go just as fast, as it's a smaller scooter.
The Stella starts with steady push of the interior (left) side of the start switch when either brake is engaged and the key is in the start position. I could not start two of the three Stella Automatics that we rode because I was pressing the starter button "flat" or on the outer edge of the switch. That's a great trick to know. Starting is other wise easy, just turn the key to run, wait for the small "ECS" light in the instrument cluster to go out and you are ready to start. There is also a back-up kick start accessible by flipping down the well-hidden lever at the edge of the left cowl.
One riding concern that I had was the deletion of the traditional right foot rear brake. Interestingly enough, I never even thought of it during my first four lap ride around the Scooterworks neighborhood in north Chicago. The brakes are very good, and unless you only ride a vintage scooter with a floor-mounted rear brake, a rider will have no worries about braking stability or power on a ride on Stella Automatic.
The big question
Does the debut of the Stella 125 Automatic spell the end of the shifty version of the Stella? It's hard to say. Genuine wouldn't commit to either ending their production of the classic shifty scoot, nor would they commit to all Stella Automatic production in the future. It probably boils down to whether LML is going to continue production of the shifty version, and if Genuine would be comfortable bringing in a smaller amount of shifty scoots to meet the any demand. One thing is clear - the Stella Automatic is a fantastic scooter, a compelling combination of classic and modern with the convenience of a solid 4-stroke 125cc engine and an effortless automatic transmission.
Remember that there are plenty of new 4-stroke (and even 2-stroke) shifty Stellas out there and that the automatic Stella will be a big hit. That strong start may be enough of a convincer for Genuine (and LML) to make the hard choice of ending a manual shifting tradition that not only dates back to the first Vespa (in 1946) but to manually shifted scooters from even earlier. If you want a new shifty Stella (complete with a Genuine 2-year warranty, including on the road service), I'd start saving my pennies for one before they go away. If you want a new "twisty" Stella, they should be on the way to dealers next month. Either way, remember that the shifty Stella and it's Vespa and Lambretta ancestors will be available used, probably for ever.
The Stella 125 Automatic is yet another version of the classic Vespa, and there will probably be others in the future. Stella Automatic is a hand-assembled, metal-bodied classic scoot that a whole generation of new and old riders will find fascinating. Yes, NEW riders of a quality, classically-styled scoot that happens to be a twisty. That's good news for all fans of classic scooter design.
Growing our scooter culture should be the mission of everyone on two small wheels, and Stella 125 Automatic will be an excellent ambassador for that mission. Ride one soon!

[borrowing this line from "Alice in Wonderland II"]
How cool & useful would it be to have a BIG TOUCH-TABLET.
Like a 24" LCD screen with a tablet function
sorry — Don't have this yet.
For my astro-travel setup, I recognized how beautifully my old 24" LCD screen will fit into that travel case. And so this is not a photo-montage. THIS SETUP ACTUALLY WORKS !!
All stand-alone from a 12V battery inside this 24gal Stanley toolbox (detailed photos later)
In a harsh and misty environment, in the dark, a keyboard is a bit of a nuisance. can't type without extra light, misplace it in the dark, moisture isn't good for the contacts, …
So a good touch-pad on-screen interface would be just nice !!
A large (24") view is good to explore space AND edit photos. And watch a DVD while shooting 50+ long-exposures in the background
As I said (photos later) — this setup actually is working from a single (quite small) 12V car battery. Powers both the laptop & the monitor. Too bad it requires additional mouse & KBD to be useful (no touchscreen).
It looks cool and may be useful in the future — but at this time, it is merely a proof of an interesting concept. THE WEIGHT is killing this idea.
- This 24" LCD is a couple of years old and quite heavy — maybe a newer 19" may be more suitable
- TBD the power that 24" needs, again a newer 19" likely is more suitable
- 12V car battery is cheap & reliable & good capacity ==> BUT REALLY HEAVY
- without a touchscreen, I would need at least a (wireless) mouse /trackball and possibly a (wireless) KBD as well (or easy access to the laptop KBD)
- the box may not be tough enough to protect the LCD in such a tight fit
This is BOX 1/2 to carry my new TELESCOPE GEAR :
Below the laptop is the computerized EQ mount …

Feb. 28, 2004
LOS ANGELES - Top-ranked UCLA extended its season-opening winning streak to 15 games on Saturday afternoon at Easton Stadium, posting a doubleheader sweep of UC Santa Barbara in the first two games of the 2004 Stacy Winsberg Memorial Tournament. The Bruins won the opening game 10-0 in six innings before winning the nightcap by a 7-0 margin.
Game 1: UCLA 10, UCSB 0 (6 innings)
UCLA opened the game with two runs in the first inning, thanks primarily to four walks issued by UCSB pitcher Lindsey Sommer. Jodie Legaspi connected on a bases-loaded single with two outs to score both runs.
In the second, Julie Hoshizaki led off the inning for the Bruins with a single to right field in her first at-bat of the season. She went to third on a double by Caitlin Benyi and scored on a sacrifice fly by Stephanie Ramos.
The Bruins scored seven more runs in the bottom of the sixth inning on two home runs. Julie Hoshizaki led off the inning with her second hit of the day, a single to right field. Caitlin Benyi followed with a single, and the pair would score on the fourth home run of the season by Andrea Duran, a shot that hit the shed just beyond the fence in left center field. Stephanie Ramos followed with a bunt single and was pushed to second on a Claire Sua walk. After Emily Zaplatosch loaded the bases, reaching on an outfield error by the Gauchos, Lisa Dodd connected on her second grand slam home run of the season, a shot to left field to invoke the mercy rule for a 10-0 Bruin win.
Bruin pitcher Keira Goerl struck out five batters in the first four innings and did not allow a hit until the top of the fifth inning. She finished with five strikeouts for her eighth victory of the season, a one-hit shutout.
Game 2: UCLA 7, UCSB 0
The Bruins batted as the visiting team in the second game of the day and opened the scoring in the top of the second inning. Andrea Duran recorded a one-out single and came around to score on a home run by Stephanie Ramos, her third of the season, a round-tripper that hit the batting cage in right center field.
It turned into a four-run inning for the Bruins as Emily Zaplatosch had a two-out single and would score on a triple to center field by Jodie Legaspi. A Lisa Dodd single would score Legaspi, giving the Bruins a 4-0 lead after an inning and a half.
Ramos led off the fifth inning with her second home run in as many at-bats, and Claire Sua followed with a home run of her own, clubbing her second home run of the season over the left field fence to give the Bruins a 6-0 lead. Freshman Jodie Legaspi then stepped in with one out and clubbed her second home run of the season and fourth hit of the day onto the batting cage roof for a 7-0 UCLA lead.
In the circle, Lisa Dodd recorded six strikeouts, including two in the seventh inning, while pitching a three-hit shutout for her sixth win of the season.
The Bruins return to action on Sunday in the final game of the Stacy Winsberg Memorial Tournament at Easton Stadium. Game time is scheduled for 1 pm.

On February 22, when UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey meets Sara McMann in the main event of UFC 170, not only will these two undefeated former Olympians fight for the coveted organizational gold, they'll be doing so as the first two mixed martial artists to meet inside the Octagon as Olympic medalists.
McMann (7-0) , a Silver Medalist in Freestyle Wrestling at the 2004 games in Athens, and Rousey (8-0), a Bronze Medalist in Judo at the 2008 games in Beijing, will usher in a new chapter in MMA's 20-year history, as this monumental moment will be brought forth by two women, not men.
In a society where women's sport is sometimes scoffed at and thought of as being a lesser product, the UFC and the women fighting inside of the vaunted Octagon are taking the reigns of a new era in sport, and putting their own authoritative stamp on MMA's future going forward.
"I think that it's an awesome thing to do – an awesome experience," said McMann to Examiner during a recent media tour in support of UFC 170. "It's nice to be, like, 'oh, we're the first ones to do things,' but I think I get more pride from actually getting the medal, rather than representing it later."
It's this humble, yet direct, approach that makes McMann so endearing in her delivery. She's as equally confident as she is respectful, and it's obvious when you hear her speak that years of wrestling room grit have rubbed off on her. Of course the milestone of Olympic Medalist vs. Olympic Medalist is not lost on McMann, but she sees the journey to UFC gold as a culmination of a lifetime of hard work and dedication, and the Olympics and MMA are two totally different arenas.
[READ -- UFC 168: Matt Serra talks Weidman victory, Silva injury & respect]
With her fight against Rousey in the desert rapidly approaching, this 'go for gold' attitude is ever-present when discussing her plans to become champion. In fact, as high profile and as heralded as Rousey is, when Miesha Tate squared off with "Rowdy" at UFC 168 in December, McMann didn't care who came away the victor. Star-power be damned, all McMann wants is to fight the best the division has to offer.
"I wasn't pulling either way," said the 33-year-old when asked if she had a preference in opponent.
However, that philosophy didn't ring true for her handlers, as they were quick to see the obvious value in a fight with one of MMA's hottest commodities.
"But I know my manager was definitely pulling for Ronda," she said. "It's just a much more high profile fight to say it's two Olympians and all the things that come along with this – undefeated records, and stuff like that – it's just easier to sell from a management standpoint. But I just want the better fighter. So, if it happened to be Miesha on that night, I would have wanted to fight her."
With her win over Tate at the end of 2013, Rousey, 26, once again solidified herself as the best female fighter in the UFC today. With an undefeated record, and all of her fights ending via the armbar submission, Rousey's legend is growing with each limb collected.
The streak has created equal parts praise and equal parts criticism. There is one school of thought that sees Rousey's streak as the impressive accomplishment that it is, and then there's another group who view the accomplishment as a direct result of a seemingly one-dimensional approach to fighting. When McMann is questioned as to whether or not, in her mind, Ronda Rousey is, in fact, a one-trick pony, McMann dismisses such talk with a quickness.
"She got an Olympic Bronze medal and I don't think that's something people should be like, 'Oh, well, she's just a one-trick pony," stated McMann with a glare. "That's like saying, 'oh, so-and-so basketball player, all he does is shoot 3-point shots really well.' Well, those score a lot of points. I just know I approach it as that's her strength. I don't know some of the other strengths or weaknesses that were exposed [in the Tate fight], but I just have to look at her like the athlete she is, and the ways I can exploit it.
"No fighter is one-hundred percent complete. And if you tend towards one direction, you open yourself up to other avenues to attack you."
[WATCH -- UFC 168: Vitor Belfort talks Silva leg injury & upcoming title shot]
With all eight of Rousey's finishes coming via armbar, there is little doubt that the streak holds a special place in her own heart. Rousey is a fan of MMA, and she is seemingly an intelligent individual with great acumen for the sport's history – she knows what the streak does for her and her legacy, whether she admits it or not.
Let's be real, there are very few coincidences in life, and if you happen to finish all eight of your professional fist-fighting bouts with the same maneuver, chances are, that 'coincidence' flew out the window a long time ago.
Despite public rhetoric stating that she will 'take the fight as it comes,' and that she doesn't specifically hunt the arm of her opponents. For McMann, she very much doubts this is the case.
"I didn't know she said she wasn't hunting them, because it definitely looks quite deliberate to me," stated the former Silver Medalist. "I mean, that's like me saying, 'Oh, well, you know, I'm not really trying to take them down.' Uh, well, yes, when I set it up and took a penetration step and grabbed their legs, I was most certainly trying to take them down.
"If she's not hunting them, it shows it's something she does naturally without even thinking about it. Which means she is going to go into a preset patterns that can absolutely be exploited. So, either it's deliberate, or it's not deliberate, either one has different implications."
Different implications, but with the same outcome if Sara McMann has anything to say about it.

Prognostic factors
● Rare cases of progression have been described in association with immunosuppressive therapy
● Excision and follow-up
Gross description (Macroscopy)
● Soft, pink, small isolated growth with delicate papillary structures, usually pedunculated, mean 3 mm
Micro description (Histopathology)
● Discrete papillary fronds with occasional branching but without fusion; these fronds are covered by normal urothelium
● Papillae appear to float above urothelial surface due to sectioning of branching papillae
● Papillae usually small with scant stroma and slender fibrovascular cores
● May have large papillae with marked stromal edema or cystitis cystica-like invaginations
● Lined by normal appearing urothelium with prominent umbrella cells, normal polarity, variable dilated lymphatics within fibrovascular fronds, vacuolization; no hyperplasia, no dysplasia, no fusion of adjacent fronds, no necrosis, no/minimal mitotic figures (if present, they are in basal layers)
● Rarely urothelial papilloma can extensively involve the mucosa, a phenomenon referred to as diffuse papillomatosis (Eur Urol 2004;46:170)
Micro images
Series of 12 images with discrete papillary fronds lined by normal urothelium
Low power

A: complex, budding papillary pattern; B: anastomosis of individual papillae
Large fibrovascular cores with prominent edema
Prominent umbrella cell layer
CK44 and CK20
Positive stains
● CK20 (limited to superficial/umbrella cells as in normal urothelium)
Negative stains
● p53
Molecular / cytogenetics description
● Diploid; has frequent FGFR3 mutations (seen in 75% of cases, J Pathol 2002;198:245)
Differential diagnosis
● Papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential: longer and thicker papillae with hyperplasia, less prominent umbrella cells
● Papillary urothelial hyperplasia: >7 cells thick, undulating pattern of thin mucosal papillary folds of varying heights, no discrete fibrovascular cores, vascularity present at base of urothelial proliferation

Condom Issues: Ask Dr. Chaves
strange sensationsDear Dr. Chaves,
My girlfriend and I have been sexually active for four months now. Every time she gives me oral sex after I ejaculate or starts with a hand job, I get this ticklish sensation near the tip of my penis. Is that normal? Is something wrong with me or is it all just in my head?
Nico, NC
Wait, she gets you off, and then she starts to get you off again? What a keeper! Your ticklish feeling is quite normal. Most people get squeamish and ticklish after they orgasm. Some people love continued stimulation after they orgasm, while others absolutely refuse it because it's too sensitive. Think about it. Your genitals are at their most sensitive and your nerve endings are on overload when aroused and approaching orgasm. It's only natural for people to feel some sort of sensitivity. As long as it's pleasurable and you're enjoying yourself, there's no reason to change things. Try this out if she's willing. After you ejaculate and your penis is flaccid, ask your girlfriend to perform oral sex on you until you stiffen up again. It might be too sensitive but could be fun to try.
the right fitDr. Chaves,
What happens when you use a condom that's the wrong size?
Nathaniel, IL
The idea that a condom is the wrong size is more a mental fear than a reality, though it is important to make sure condoms are comfortable and securely fastened to the penis. But does size really matter for condoms? There's only a slight difference in length and girth when comparing different condom sizes. I can take any condom and fit it on my penis, my arm and even over my head, regardless of its size (search "condom head" on YouTube for proof).
Believe me, condoms can stretch to fit over any penis. Sure the magnum may feel more snug to the well-endowed guy, but is "snug" really the word you want to use to describe your condom grip? I prefer "tight," "impenetrable" and "holding on for dear life" as condom descriptions. Regardless, each person is different, and it's important to make sure the condom isn't going to slide off or irritate the penis. Some condom size difficulties can include a too-tight feeling, slipping off if the erection softens and discomfort. Testing out a few different condom brands through masturbation is always a wise thing to do before wearing one out in the field.

Articles on prenatal chromosome testing and screening were used as well as a mix of landmark papers, original research, and reviews in the publication. Specific terms included (but were not limited to): prenatal diagnosis, prenatal screening, chromosome aneuploidy, first trimester screening, integrated screening, contingency screening, stepwise sequential screening, maternal serum screening, ultrasound for chromosome aneuploidy, CVS, amniocentesis, NIPT, NIPD, cell free fetal DNA, and genetic counseling for prenatal testing.
Not applicable
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published cost analyses were not reviewed.
Recommendations for All Patients
Recommendations for Low Risk Patients Less Than 14 Weeks of Gestation
Recommendations for Low Risk Patients After 14 Weeks of Gestation
Recommendations for Patients at Increased Risk for Chromosome Aneuploidy
A decision tree for selecting between screening and diagnostic testing options is provided in the original guideline document.
The type of evidence supporting the recommendations is not specifically stated.
Early amniocentesis (prior to 15 weeks of gestation) is not recommended due to the increased risks for pregnancy loss, clubfoot, and fluid leakage.
An implementation strategy was not provided.
Not applicable: The guideline was not adapted from another source.
