American Pastor Saeed Abedini, a U.S. citizen who is suffering from serious injuries at the hands of his Iranian captors, told family members today he is praying for America in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings.
During a brief visit with family members today, Pastor Saeed reported that he is suffering intense pain as a result of untreated internal bleeding – injuries he sustained from repeated beatings and torture in Iran.
Iranian prison authorities have told Pastor Saeed that he will not receive any medical treatment for his injuries for another two months.
Even as his medical condition worsens, Pastor Saeed told family members he had heard about the terrorist bombings in Boston on the prison radio, expressed his concern, and told them he is praying for the victims and their families during this very challenging time for our nation.
Pastor Saeed became an American citizen on March 11, 2010, and his wife told a Congressional panel last month that becoming an American citizen was one of the proudest moments in his life.
In another example of the emotional and physiological torture Iran has imposed upon Pastor Saeed, he was recently taken to a hospital only to be turned away and returned to his prison cell untreated. He was then beaten again.
He also explained that during the course of his trial and intense interrogations Iranian authorities continually accused him of engaging in a "soft war" against the regime through his Christian activities.
Pastor Saeed has never been involved in political activities. His heart has been for the people of Iran, and he has always cooperated with Iranian authorities. He kept his promise to stop working with house churches and worked with Iranian authorities on a non-religious orphanage.
Iran continues its violation of human rights – imprisoning, torturing, and refusing medical care for Pastor Saeed merely because of his faith.
His faith is clearly keeping him alive, giving him the strength to endure this persecution.
As Pastor Saeed prays for us, pray for him, and let him know he is not forgotten. Join tens of thousands of others in writing Pastor Saeed a letter at SaveSaeed.org for his May 7th birthday.
You write the letter; we will deliver it. Let this persecuted pastor know you care and are praying for his freedom. It can make a tremendous difference. Help strengthen Pastor Saeed's spirits and let his captors know the world is watching Iran.
It's been all too clear for far too long – President Obama's foreign policy is a disaster. But specifically, President Obama's continued capitulation towards Iran, the world's largest exporter of terror, makes the world a more dangerous place. The United States recently seized 1,500 AK-47s, 200 RPG...
President Obama has promised the American people since 2013 that he would not introduce U.S. ground forces into Syria. This past week, he broke that promise. The President announced that he has decided to send " less than 50 " Special Operations personnel to Syria. To quote the late great American...
Do you have questions about what is happening in Syria, who is fighting whom and what side everyone is on? You're not alone. As headlines and news stories detail the latest developments in Syria, it's vitally important that people know the truth of what is going on and what is at stake. The United...
The week of reckoning has arrived. Tomorrow, both the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate will begin debate on the nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran. In accordance with the terms of the Iranian Review Act, each chamber will consider a Resolution of Disapproval for the deal. A final vote...

Marvin Cordova, Jr.
Former GBU Light Welterweight Youth Champion, Former WBC Youth Light Welterweight Champion, World ranked contender by the NABF and WBC
Born: January 17, 1985, Rocky Ford, Colorado
Record: 21-1-1, 11 KO's
World ranked welterweight prospect Marvin Cordova Jr. has certainly made some waves since turning pro back in August of 2004 when he stopped undefeated Luciano Silva in four rounds. Following that impressive debut, he continued to impress with a trio of victories against lesser known opponents. Cordova then fought on the undercard of an ESPN televised show in Denver Colorado, stopping the normally durable club fighter Marlon Leslie in the second round the following August to improve his record to 5-0. It was enough to cause promoters and boxing insiders to take note, and by the end of the year he began working with promoter Zeferino Ramirez, who has kept the young prospect active and helped him garner several regional championships over the next several years. That December, Cordova won the GBU Youth light welterweight champion when he destroyed journeyman Corey Alarcon in the opening round. Alarcon was certainly not a world beater, but he was only a few months removed from a DQ win over contender Victor Ortiz (a highly controversial win where he was stopped due to an illegal punch).
By 2006 it was looking like boxing was ready to embrace its newest prospect as Cordova took out such fighters as undefeated Scott Ball (7-0) in February of 2006 and Canadian journeyman Darelle Sukerow in July. The Sukerow fight was an ESPN televised affair which saw the normally durable Canadian felled in the opening round.
Then came Cordova's first big test. In January of 2007 he took on fellow prospect Victor Ortiz in a Showtime televised fight. Ortiz was widely regarded by most boxing insiders as a future world champion and one of the best prospects in the world. But for one round it looked like he might just be in for more than he planned for as Cordova boxed effectively, arguably winning the round. Unfortunately a cut caused the fight to be terminated after the opening round, rendering the fight a technical draw. But Although Cordova didn't get a chance to show a lot, he did leave boxing fans with just enough of a taste to recognize he was a world class prospect in his own right. The following April he won the WBC Youth light Welterweight title with a knockout over Mexican Javier Carmona, and in January of the following year he scored a lopsided decision over veteran Roberto Valenzuela in Missouri. August of 2008 saw Cordova take on his toughest foe to date: fellow prospect Derrick Samuels, at the Tropicana in Las Vegas. Samuels gave Cordova all he could handle, but the speed and skill of Cordova carried the day as he emerged victorious after ten rounds by way of a split decision.
By May of 2009 the stage was set for Cordova to break into the top ten. But first he had to get past Pilipino contender Dennis Laurente, who had the edge in experience with a 30-3-5 record. Cordova dominated the fight early, but the veteran eventually wore the younger man down, capturing the later rounds and the close decision.
It would have been easy for Cordova to take a safe comeback fight on August 29th in Cleveland. But he has elected to face fellow prospect Ernest Johnson in a fight that some insiders felt was a "pick 'em" fight. But Cordova looked all the part a contender as he won a hard fought eight round decision over Johnson.
Corodva is now slated to fight fellow prospect Tim Coleman (16-1, 4 KO's) on the televised undercard of the Latin Invasion 2 PPV card from the Don Haskins Center in El Paso Texas. A win would almost certainly put young Cordova back in the world rankings, something that is not lost on Cordova or his promoter Zef Ramirez.
"I have been impressed with Marvin's development," commented Ramirez, who is promoting the Latin Invasion 2 card in association with Golden Boy Promotions, "but I know he will be in for the fight of his life on October 30th. Make no mistake, Coleman is no slouch."

Claim Presentation Requirements Apply to Contract Causes of Action Against Goverment Defendants
In December, the California Supreme Court held in City of Stockton v. Superior Court (Civic Partners Stockton, LLC) (2007), Case No. S139237, that the requirements set forth in Government Code sections 905 and following, apply to breach of contract claims against any government defendant. The court held that contract claims fall within the plain meaning of the requirement that "all claims for money or damages" be presented to a local public agency (Government Code section 905) within one year and no suit for money or damages may be brought against a public entity on a cause of action for which a claim is required to be presented until a written claim has been presented to the public entity and has been acted upon or been rejected (Government Code sections 901, 911.2 and 945.4). The Court also adopted the practice of referring to the Claims Against Public Entities & Employees statutes as the "Government Claims Act" rather than the commonly used short title of "Tort Claims Act" in order to avoid any confusion engendered by the misnomer.

Terry Gibbs & Buddy DeFranco Play Steve Allen (Contemporary 140892)
Terry Gibbs (vibes), Buddy DeFranco (clarinet),
Tom Ranier (piano), Dave Carpenter (bass), Gerry Gibbs (drums).
Composed by Steve Allen.
Recorded: Van Nuys, CA, September 3, 1998
Rating: 80/100 (learn more)
In the United States of Jazz, we'd revamp South Dakota's Mount Rushmore. Armstrong & Ellington are shoo-ins to replace Washington & Jefferson. But the other two slots are up for grabs. We'd nominate Terry Gibbs & Buddy DeFranco save for this track's unbecoming raggedness. By 1998, Terry & Buddy were in their mid-70s, having been musical pros for 60 years apiece and co-leaders of a quintet off and on for two decades. Yet their unisons sound like they were recorded in separate soundproof isolation booths left over from rigged 1950s TV quiz shows. So, to fill out Jazz's Mt. Rushmore, how about Billie Holiday and Miles Davis? Just picture Miles's "Shh" in granite 60 feet high!

Weatherproof speakers are speakers that are specially designed to endure exposure to weather elements such as heat, rain, snow and hail without deterioration. However, they are not necessarily waterproof speakers and thus if they get submerged in water they may not work.
Just like regular speakers weatherproof speakers have 3 core elements namely crossovers, cabinet and drivers.Drivers are for converting electrical energy into vibrations to produce various sound pitches. To help in producing these sound pitches is a diaphragm. The diaphragm is the cone shaped part of the speakers that moves back and forth. The other drivers that reproduce the bass are called woofers. Those that reproduce the highs are known as tweeters. The drivers that produce frequencies in between high and low are mid range.Cabinets or enclosures are those structures in which the internal speaker components are housed. Their work is to manage the sound waves and they determine how the sound will be produced.Crossovers are the electrical filters that divide up the audio signal and split up the sound pitches through the drivers.
Speakers which are called weather proof do not have much difference with those used indoors. The key difference between them is the kind of material used to make their inner and outer components. Unlike indoor speakers whose frames and grilles are susceptible to corrosion; weatherproof speakers are made with metals such as stainless steel and brass which do not rust. These speakers also use Mylar diaphragms instead of paper diaphragms which are sensitive to moisture. The speakers also have sturdy casings that are resistant to rough handling and weather elements.
Weatherproof speakers designs
These speakers come in all shapes and sizes. They are designed to look like anything you can think of. Some look like rocks, flowerpots, frogs and other artistic features. The speakers can be wired or wireless. The wireless type is usually very convenient to use because they do not have any cords attached to them and thus, they can easily be taken inside if need be. Wireless speakers use AC power and batteries making them very portable. They can be set up on the walls or left by the poolside. Whats more the speakers can be used with most music players and their sound quality is the same as what the player gives indoors. Read more here.
How to weatherproof speakers
It is possible to make the outdoor speakers you have weatherproofed without much financial strain. One of the easiest and inexpensive ways is to coat the speakers in a high gloss polymer. High gloss polymers are usually used to reinforce floor but they are also effective at weatherproofing most electronics. To make your speaker weather proof you will need a high gloss polymer coating, polyurethane foam spay and a foam sealant brush.Prepare the workspace you will be using by spread an old newspaper to prevent spillage of coating to surrounding surfaces.Remove the grill surrounding the speaker cone.Shake the sealant well and apply it evenly to the speaker with a regular varnish foam brush. When applying the sealant make sure that the entire speaker's exterior including the cone is coated.Coat the speaker's wire inputs with the polyurethane foam spray and leave it to dry in a well ventilated area. Usually the coatings are completely dried off overnight at normal temperatures.
Weatherproof speakers installation
Most of these speakers are installed with wired connections. They are mostly mounted under the deck, in patio corners or under rooftop lines. But, they can also be wired underground so that people are not restricted to listening to music at a certain spot. You can either install the speakers on your own or contact a custom installer to do it for you. Whichever option you pick ensure that:The speakers are positioned towards your desired sweet spot.They are mounted at a tilted angle facing down slightly if they are mounted close to the roof line consider how the bushes, trees and any other type of foliage will affect the sound. This is because the surrounding environment greatly affects the speaker range and ultimately the sound quality.Know how you want the sound to be distributed and where you would want it to be much concentrated.First try out the speakers before you can permanently mount them to test the sound quality.You do not crank up the volume when listening to music as it could cause sound distortion as well as disturb your neighbors.

It's been three years since his thirteenth album – 2011's Alpocalypse – and the prince of parodies has finally returned. "Weird Al" Yankovic's newest album Mandatory Fun certainly lives up to my expectations with a mix of parodies, original songs and a trademark polka medley. After building hype for weeks by posting cryptic "transmission" videos, Yankovic has been driving fans crazy wondering what popular songs he'll give his special treatment this time. As far as parodies go, the lucky few are Iggy Azalea ("Fancy" becomes "Handy"); Lorde ("Royals" becomes "Foil); Robin Thicke ("Blurred Lines" becomes "Word Crimes"); Imagine Dragons ("Radioactive" becomes "Inactive") and Pharrell Williams ("Happy" becomes "Tacky.") One of my favorites is certainly "Word Crimes" for turning the shameless original into an in-depth grammar lesson that the Internet as a whole really needs to listen to. The lyrics are great even though I'm sick of the original song, and the same can be said for "Tacky." It's a hilarious ode to people who act in various tasteless ways to make up "tackiness," from taking funeral selfies to hogging entire bowls of candy.
I have a few favorite original songs as well. One is "My Own Eyes," which copies the Foo Fighters' soaring style to tell accounts of seeing various bizarre, "can't un-see" sights. Another is "First World Problems," serving as a great imitation of the Pixies (whom Al is friends with) to make fun of rich, privileged people complaining about minor inconveniences exclusive to them. Finally, there's the Weird Al trademark that's always something I look forward to: the polka medley. "NOW That's What I Call Polka!" takes a pretty short list of popular songs (by Yankovic's usual standards) and again turns the snippets into an exciting polka medley. It starts with Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" and ends with Daft Punk's "Get Lucky," with quite a mix in between. It's not my favorite of his medleys, but it's not fair to fault him when many contemporary songs aren't that good. Overall, I think that Mandatory Fun is a solid album with enough great songs to even top Alpocalypse.

Name: 灰音レン (Haine Ren)
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Height: 156cm
Weight: 47kg
Program: Kagamine BETA
Item: Large scythe
Sexual Orientation: Incestuous
Ren Haine is the black themed version of Len Kagamine. He is known as a BETA Kagamine due in sole part of problems during his production. In the past, errors in Ren's system lead to him being shut down and stored away.
Ren is a silent, soft spoken boy who is uncomfortable in the company of others or big crowds. He's anti-social to the point where the mansion dwellers think Ren possesses a heart of cold stone. Looks are deceiving of Ren, for the shell he keeps curled up within can only be cracked by his sister, Lin Haine.
The motive for Ren's anti-socialness is due in part to the enduring drama and nightmares of watching Lin being offlined by the Crypton scientists (and Alpha according to his history by previous roleplayers) who designed him and his sister. The years without Lin by his side has thus hard-pressed him from the grasps of kind hands, for Ren distrusts sympathy for trepidation of the gesture turning to lies before his very own eyes.
The only kindness or even exchanges he shows is that towards Lin. After conclusively reuniting with her, Ren senses it is his job to step up and be her caretaker, fretting and worrying over her like a mother hen would to a chick. He can't stand being separated from her and when she's even vanished from his side for a few moments, Ren will be frantically running down to the mansion gardens in a desperate search for her. Lord knows what would come to pass if Lin managed to disappear from his life once again. He literally will do everything and everything to please and protect her, if only to make her stay by his side eternally.
Ren dislikes all physical contact too. Hugs, pats on the back, even the slightest touch to his skin will make him backlash. Again, it is a trust issue imparted by his past history and such shows of affection like hugs or friendly contact in his mind were not ment to last long.
Misc Info:
Ren's initial design had shown him with a small pair of devil wings. He has always hidden his wings from view and continues to do so unless he is provoked to reveal them from under his clothes (ie: during times of rage, when he has to protect Lin, etc.). The wings however, do not hold a powerful significance and were in his model design to mainly be accessories as a unique standout against the other Len types. In short, Ren can flap his wings to show his hidden emotions he cannot easily expresses with words or facial expressions. They were not however, meant for flying but he can slow his fall with them if he so chooses.
UnOfficial Theme
I won't be able to bear the pain if I lose you again Lin...
We are...friends?:
Get away from me!:
Can I...trust you?:
I promised to protect you for the time being..:
...but why do you resemble my sister so much?
Stay away..:

A new study by John Dunham & Associates shows that Wilmington's SafeLight program is saving lives and lowering costs with its red light safety cameras. When a motorist runs a red light, the camera records the date, time, speed of the vehicle, the time elapsed since the beginning of the red signal, and a photo showing the violation.
The SafeLight Program's goal is to decrease the number of motorists who run red lights and the crashes they cause.
One red-light safety camera at one intersection in Wilmington is estimated to save the city and its residents $103,189 in the first year and $467,540 over five years. On average, one red-light safety camera saves Wilmington and its residents $93,508 a year.

CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers have cured their allergy to winning. Their next step is to figure out a way to develop a winning streak.
For the seventh straight time dating all the way back to Nov. 16, Cleveland lost when it had a chance to win two games in a row, falling 95-91 to the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday at Quicken Loans Arena.
The Cavs (11-48) have had a winning streak on just one occasion this season, that coming when they won three straight on the road from Nov. 5-9.
More photos below.
"It's something we're definitely working toward," big man Samardo Samuels said. "We've been working on winning, period."
Having lost 26 straight and 36-of-37 not all that long ago, Cleveland has managed to win three of its last six, but it breaks down this way: W-L-W-L-W-L.
The Cavs weren't horrible Sunday, but they weren't good enough to beat a Philadelphia team that has won five straight and 13 of its last 17 to improve to 30-29 overall. The last time the Sixers were over .500 was five games into last season.
Compounding matters, Cavs forward Antawn Jamison suffered a gruesome facture to the little finger on his left hand when he was fouled by Jrue Holiday with 7:26 left in the third period.
Jamison was supposed to shoot free throws at that point, but couldn't, with Philadelphia coach Doug Collins selecting Ryan Hollins to do the honors.
Whether Jamison's injury is something that can be treated with a splint that will allow him to play or will require some type of cast won't be known until today at the earliest.
What is known is that the NBA-worst Cavs, who host NBA-best San Antonio on Wednesday, have gone almost four months without a winning streak.
"We've been up and down," coach Byron Scott said. "We're still trying to learn what it takes to be successful every single night."
Cleveland got a very good game from J.J. Hickson, who had 10 points in the first 7½ minutes and finished with 22 points and 16 boards, and solid outings from Ramon Sessions (20 points, six rebounds, 10 assists, five turnovers), Jamison (16 points) and Samuels (12 points, six rebounds).
However, Christian Eyenga (0 points in 22 minutes), Anthony Parker (two points in 36 minutes) and Daniel Gibson (nine points on 3-for-12 shooting) provided next to nothing offensively.
Despite that — and a Scott-chosen lineup of Eyenga, Alonzo Gee, Samuels, Manny Harris and Gibson while the Sixers were going on a 20-4 run late in the first period and early in the second — the Cavs had a chance down the stretch.
The Cavs scored six straight points and had the ball, down 91-88, after Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala committed an offensive foul with 29.3 seconds left.
Following a Cleveland timeout, the ball was inbounded to Gibson, who held it way too long trying to get it to Sessions, who was being face-guarded. That finally accomplished, Sessions got it right back to Gibson, who passed up a quick 3-point attempt in favor of passing to Hickson, who turned it over with 12.5 seconds left.
"I didn't want to just hoist up a bad one," Gibson said.
The Sixers, who had six players score between 10 and 16 points, iced the game at the line, meaning the earliest the Cavs can possibly have a two-game winning streak is Friday.
That would require not only beating San Antonio, but ending a 26-game road losing streak Friday in New York.
"It's just a matter of taking it one game at a time," Gibson said. "You can't worry about winning four or five in a row. You've just got to try to win your next one."

Art Tatum & Ben Webster: My Ideal
My Ideal
Art Tatum (piano) and Ben Webster (tenor sax)
The Tatum Group Masterpieces, Vol. 8 (Pablo 2405431)
Art Tatum (piano), Ben Webster (tenor sax), Red Callender (bass),
Bill Douglass (drums).
Composed by Newell Chase, Richard A.Whiting, and Leo Robin.
Recorded: Los Angeles, CA, Sept. 11, 1956
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
Ben Webster, who idolized Art Tatum, thought that the album he made with the virtuoso pianist in 1956 was his best ever. Of course, Webster also felt that on this date Tatum "really accompanied me." He continued: "I believe that was a sign that he appreciated my playing, because I know certain records with other musicians where he just played on, from the beginning of the piece all the way to the end." Said producer Norman Granz: "During the session with Art Tatum, Art just could not get Ben to speed up. Ben just did his own thing. So up to a point, Art adapted to Ben there."
"My Ideal" seems to confirm the observations of both Webster and Granz. Tatum's initial rendition of the melody is, for him, sparse and restrained, containing embellishments that are far from ornate. Webster's subsequent playing of the theme is lifted by his broad, somewhat gruff, and cavernous tone, not unlike that of Coleman Hawkins, while Tatum's comping is focused and judicious. The tempo accelerates for Webster's solo, where the tenor's legato phrasing is unaffected, enticing, and to the point. Tatum's improvisation continues his relatively understated approach, with his technically marvelous runs still not nearly as convoluted as they often tended to become. Webster returns for the theme, again with Tatum offering complementary support rather than competing commentary. Here's a Tatum group track where the supporting efforts of a bassist and drummer—Red Callender and Bill Douglass—not only are noticed, but can be appreciated as well.

1. You do not need to be a movie star, an heiress, or a size 2 to use a stylist.
2. Stylists do not work on commission, so they have no incentive to push expensive items.
3. Stylists won't throw out your entire wardrobe—that only happens for shock value on What Not to Wear.
4. They don't limit themselves to high-end department stores—in fact, a professional stylist is probably better than you are at finding the discount gems.
5. The service is not only for people who don't like to, or don't have time to, shop.
Everyone can benefit from a stylist's discerning eye—even magazine editors. Three of our editors were ready to stretch their style. A friend (or co-worker) might have told them what looks bad, but the pros helped to define what looks best on them, specifically. They found totally updated outfits, from head to toe. But beyond those new looks, our editors also got advice that will help them make smarter and chicer buys when they shop on their own. And that service costs less than a pair of designer heels.

text: Center for Clinical Research / Clinical Trials What do we do? At Rochester General Hospital's Center for Clinical Research, our knowledgeable team is passionately committed to offering treatment alternatives to the community and Investigators through research. Medical clinical research is one way that new treatments for diseases are found, and we are honored to be part of that mission. We are a service-oriented resource for Investigators, who can benefit directly or through contract from our expertise in running major sponsored medical/clinical trials for drug, device and biologics, in areas such as Cardiology, Acute Care and Gastrointestinal (GI). We are a hands-on team who take a trial from start to finish, from desk to operating room, to provide contract and budget negotiations, simplify complex protocol language into a 'layman's' informed consent, and work with the Sponsor and staff across a variety of disciplines to coordinate, provide education on, execute, maintain and terminate a clinical trial. Our Critical Care Nurse Practitioner, RN/BSNs, and CNA schedule and conduct patient visits per protocol, gather and input data into Sponsor-specific clinical trial data systems, and respond to Sponsor queries, visits and audits. We work closely with the RRHS Clinical Investigations Committee to maintain both patients' rights, as well as FDA-regulated compliance with clinical research trials. Our areas of research have included: Cardiovascular Surgical Cardiology Interventional Cardiology (Catheterization / Electrophysiology labs) Critical Care General Surgical Medical Cancer Vascular Pulmonary Neurology Immunology Endocrinology Psychiatry Pediatric Who are our patients? Research patients are generally those who seek to prevent a condition, improve a condition, or keep a condition from worsening. As a research patient, we partner with you, as well as a team of dedicated healthcare professionals, to achieve the goal of safely shepherding you through a trial. It is our most profound belief that patients should and must have opportunities to be proactive, empowered and hopeful as they seek optimal health. For many, participation in a clinical trial means searching for options to benefit health status. However, we also recognize that human beings are made of much more than their physical body and disease states. The very personal decision to participate in research and contribute to the advancement of medicine to benefit others is also something we see. This is something we never take for granted and fully appreciate. Who are we? Our team is committed to bringing opportunities and choices to the community to advance the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease states, and to help patients play a more hopeful, active role in their care. We have a patient-centered focus that uses education to encourage patients to question and understand their options, so they are best able to make an informed decision about participation in a clinical trial. Our team consists of: Physicians who work in general medical and surgical specialties throughout the hospital A full-time nurse practitioner with 23+ years of experience in research, who specializes in critical care, surgery and cardiac (drug/device) research Two full-time RN/BSNs with a collective 26+ years of experience in research A Clinical Research Associate who has experience supporting clinical and academic research Our Team Tia Albro, RN, MSN, AACNP Director, Center for Clinical Research Tia received her Associate's of Science in Nursing from Monroe Community College.

Baby breech at almost 36 weeks!
Hi dear friends...I am almost 36 weeks and my baby is breech, and I have GD. This is my 4th child, and never had a CS before, but my doctor is already talking about it! I feel like they just should give us sometime to see if baby comes along by himself...Any same experience that can be shared with me? Thank you so much.

yep! my last one was breech. the dr just continually checked every week to see if she would turn or not. by 36 weeks they went ahead and had me schedule a c section but continued to check if she had turned. they said if she turns then we wont do a c section but if she doesnt turn then we will do one. but i kept having early onset labor and they didnt want to wait to see if she would turn and risk me going into full on labor trying to deliver a breech baby. so i guess, it was better safe than sorry for the baby.posted 11/21/2011 by mchase1986
With my 3rd baby I went for my 36 week visit and he was breech. I was terrified at the thought of a c-section! Fortunately, he turned head down by my next visit. If you are wanting to avoid a c-section, I say hold out as long as it's safe. I'm currently pregnant with number 4 and I'm so afraid of a c-section. All my others were born vaginally and I would hate to deliver my last baby by c-section!posted 11/21/2011 by easbaby

Science Retracts Paper on XMRV-Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Link
The journal Science has now fully retracted a paper it published in 2009 that linked chronic fatigue syndrome to the retrovirus XMRV.
The editor-in-chief of the journal, Bruce Alberts, wrote that "multiple laboratories, including those of the original authors" have failed to duplicate the findings of the paper, which reported finding XMRV in a greater proportion of CFS patients than healthy controls. The study excited patients, who hoped the discovery would lead to possible treatments, and sparked public-health worries over possible implications for the nation's blood supply.
Alberts also wrote that "there is evidence in of poor quality control in a number of specific experiments" in the original paper. The paper was partially retracted by the authors in September after two of them detected contamination in samples from their earlier work. Those two authors, from the Cleveland Clinic, also asked for their names to be removed from the original paper.
The journal's editors had earlier asked the authors for a full retraction.
But while "the majority of the authors have agreed in principle" to retract the full report, they haven't been able to agree on "the wording" of such a retraction, Alberts wrote. Given the impasse, Science is "editorially retracting" the paper, he wrote.
One of the authors who noted the problems with the work, Robert Silverman, said in a statement today that he was in favor of a full retraction at the time the contamination was discovered. He said he was "pleased" that Science has now retracted the paper.
Annette Whittemore, president of the Whittemore Peterson Institute, which led the original research, said in a statement that WPI "remains committed to the discovery of the pathogenesis" of myalgic encephalomyelitis, the term it (and some others) use instead of chronic fatigue syndrome. She described the retracted paper as "just one chapter in a very important process of scientific discovery to understand ME and similarly presenting diseases."
"We remain focused on the patients who have been underserved and look forward to the rigorous review of our scientific research," Whittemore concludes.
In October a group of scientists led by the American Red Cross said they'd found no evidence of XMRV or related retroviruses in the blood of donors or recipients. But the group still says people with a medical history of chronic fatigue syndrome shouldn't donate blood, since the disease may have some other infectious origin.
Update: Adds comment from Robert Silverman, WPI.

Forecast discussion: Boston had one of those days on Monday you just want to save in a bottle, so it can be opened again for some cold day in the middle of February. The official high temperature at Logan Airport was 85 degrees. Unfortunately, over the next few days, temperatures will be about 20 degrees cooler.
So, why are we going to see such a drastic change in temperature? The reason is called a back door cold front. Typically, cold fronts come either from the west, and helping to move other weather systems. This type of front is actually coming down from Northern New England, and then from the east. Also, with the winds shifting to the east, this will help bring winds off the cooler ocean waters. Although our dewpoints will be relatively low, the air will become more humid over the next few days. So, temperatures over the next few days will struggle to reach the middle 50's to lower 60's.
For Tuesday, there is the slight chance for an isolated shower, with a slightly increased chance for some passing showers on Wednesday. A new cold front in the middle of the country right now will help bring the increased risk for showers on Thursday. As the front reaches the east coast, a new low pressure center will form in the Southeast U.S. along the front. This low will help bring more moisture, along with some upper level dynamics. This will also make our dewpoint temperatures close to the air temperatures. So, we may see some patchy to dense fog, especially during the evenings. By Friday night, we will be seeing some heavy rainfall and some scattered thunderstorms Friday night into Saturday morning. As the cold front moves offshore, rainfall will taper off, and end by early Saturday evening.
The dewpoint temperatures will also decrease, allowing for some drier air to move over the region by the weekend. We will see partly to mostly sunny skies to start early next week, but high temperatures will remain in the middle to upper 60's.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Mostly cloudy with a low of 53.
Tuesday: Partly sunny and cooler with a high of 56. Winds will come from the east-northeast at 10-13 mph.
Tuesday night: Mostly cloudy with isolated showers by 4 a.m. and a low of 46. Winds will come from the east-southeast at 4-7 mph.
Wednesday: Overcast with scattered showers by the morning commute. We will see a high of 63.
Wednesday night: Scattered showers with a low of 59.
Thursday: Scattered showers with a high of 73.
Thursday night: Scattered showers with a low of 62.
Extended Forecast:
Friday: Mostly cloudy with showers during the day. Moderate to heavy rain and scattered thunderstorms expected by the evening. Highs 67-70, lows 56-59.
Saturday: Heavy rain and thunderstorms in the morning, tapering to showers in the afternoon, before ending in the early evening. Highs 65-68, lows 53-56.
Sunday: Partly sunny. Highs 65-68, lows 52-55.
Monday: Partly to mostly sunny. Highs 64-67, lows 53-56.

And unlike many other registries, patients enroll themselves rather than clinicians enrolling them (although an enrollee's physician will verify the diagnosis). As a result, the registry is seen as a way of creating a databank of real-world information not found elsewhere, including descriptions of the natural course of a disease, which therapies work and under what conditions, side effects, safety issues and more. By collecting enough information, the registry can help uncover trends, and will be more reflective of the way people actually live with arthritis.
Self-enrollment by patients – one of several factors that sets AIR apart from other rheumatology registries – will enable them to network with each other, lending support and offering tips. Another distinguishing factor is that, through the participation of Quest Diagnostics, AIR is collecting blood samples that can be analyzed and stored for later use. Researchers plan to use AIR to study biomarkers that predict the severity of RA and response to treatments, as well as the hereditary aspects of arthritis.
After enrollees are accepted and their diagnosis is confirmed, they will receive questionnaires every six months that touch on their ability to function, medical problems and hospitalizations, treatments for RA and other conditions, quality of life, costs of treatment and employment. They also will receive a form they can take to any Quest Diagnostics lab to have their blood drawn and tested for antibodies like anti-CCP, rheumatoid factor and C-reactive protein.
A partnership between nonprofit and for-profit organizations, AIR uses the infrastructure of the National Data Bank for Rheumatic Diseases, the lab capabilities of Quest Diagnostics, and outreach and funding from the Arthritis Foundation.
After the registry showed successful results in its first year, the Foundation increased funding to boost enrollment. With that goal in mind, the webpage where patients enroll has been redesigned with more prominent and user-friendly buttons and instructions.
"As we move forward, we want to customize AIR enrollment according to the participant's ability to respond. For example, we want to be able to call patients who don't have easy access to the Internet or are in too much pain to use a computer," Michaud says. "We want to be able to reach out to all people with arthritis – those who are doing well on their treatments and those who have significant pain and disability."

SAP Treasury and Risk Management (FIN-FSCM-TRM)
SAP Treasury and Risk Management is based on a series of solutions that primarily analyze and optimize business processes in the financial area of a company.
Transaction Manager
A core task in many finance departments is concluding financial transactions. Depending on the company policy, the emphasis can either be on providing an internal service for the affiliated group companies, or participating actively in the financial markets in order to invest liquid assets, finance planned investment, or hedge existing risks. The Transaction Manager provides the instruments for processing the related financial transactions, from deal capture through to transferring the relevant data to Financial Accounting. The system supports both traditional treasury departments that focus on trading as well as asset management departments. This enables you to use the same platform for various types of transaction - from short-term finance to longer-term strategic investments.

Market Risk Analyzer
Besides traditional finance management tasks such as cash management and liquidity assurance, effective market risk management is a decisive factor in securing your company's competitive position.. In this field, the Market Risk Analyzer offers extensive position evaluations, such as mark-to-market valuations of financial transactions. It also includes tools for calculating risk and return figures, including exposure, future values, sensitivities and value at risk. When you run these reports, you can incorporate both contracted positions and fictitious financial transactions in the calculations. The valuations can be based on both real and simulated market prices. Together with a high degree of flexibility for creating reports, the Market Risk Analyzer provides a reliable evaluation basis for market risk controlling.

Credit Risk Analyzer
The Credit Risk Analyzer focuses on measuring, analyzing and controlling counterparty default risk. The first phase aims to cover the specific risks associated with financial transactions in a company. The Credit Risk Analyzer enables you to control risks actively by setting limits. This is supported by flexible limit management functions with online monitoring, as well as extensive reporting options. As a result, managers are in a position to identify credit risks as they occur and take evasive action.

Portfolio Analyzer
Given that the funds available for investment are usually limited, and that there are numerous investment options to choose from, the crucial question for investment policy decisions is how well the investments have actually performed. The economic success of an investment is therefore a critical factor when it comes to making investment policy decisions. The Portfolio Analyzer is designed to provide the answers regarding the economic success of investments. It measures the exact return on investments, compares the results to prescribed targets, and breaks down the overall performance into its component parts by attributing the individual portfolio positions to the total result. The basis for these evaluations is the portfolio structure, which lets you group investments into different categories. You can run evaluations for portfolios at different levels in the portfolio hierarchy, or for an asset category across several portfolios.

College Hockey:Huskies Jump All over Mavericks Early, Take Home Victory
Michael-Lee Teslak Stops 23 in Fifth Career Shutout
HOUGHTON, Mich. — The Michigan Tech Huskies jumped out of the gate like a team ready to play and they took the game to the Minnesota State Mavericks early and often, and were rewarded for their efforts when Alex Lord banged home a goal late in the first period. The Huskies looked very relaxed in the WCHA home opener at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena.
"This was a gutsy win for us," said Huskies captain Jimmy Kerr. "We did a much better job playing with a lead tonight."
Lord, a junior from Magog, Quebec, cut hard to the net shortly after getting out of the penalty box. He took a perfect pass from sophomore winger Ryan Bunger, and buried the puck between Mavericks netminder Mike Zacharias' legs. The goal, Lord's first of the season, came at 16:09.
"I thought we had a number of really good scoring chances," said Huskies head coach Jamie Russell. "It's nice to see a kid like that rewarded with a goal.
The Huskies dominated the first three minutes of the game, as the Mavericks (0-1-0 overall, 0-1-0 WCHA) looked like a squad that hadn't been tested yet. Kerr and junior defenseman Geoff Kinrade both had some golden opportunities from high percentage areas, but Zacharias held his ground.
Seeming to settle down after that, the Mavericks young, talented defensemen got the ball rolling as they seemed to relax.
"It was our first night, and we were a little rusty at times," said Mavericks head coach Troy Jutting. "You learn a lot in your first weekend."
While the Huskies were on their second power play of the period, Mavericks junior winger Jon Kalinski broke loose on a miscue at the Huskies' offensive blue line, and took the puck the length of the rink, but fired the puck over goaltender Michael-Lee Teslak's left shoulder, and over the net.
"Jonny was just a little off a couple of times there," said Jutting. "Give us a couple of weeks, and you won't see that."
It was only a matter of time before the Huskies (2-1-0 overall, 1-0-0 WCHA) found a way to get another puck past Zacharias in the second period. The Huskies controlled the play like the veteran team they've been touted to be, and had several chances from high quality areas in front of Zacharias, firing on net 15 times.
"I thought our start couldn't have been any better," said Russell. "We stepped to the plate and got it done tonight."
Kalinski nearly made the game drastically different, however, when he cut in behind Kinrade, took a long pass off the boards, and attempted to deke Teslak shorthanded. Teslak didn't bite, however, and Kalinski ended up on his stomach with the puck heading the other direction.
After twice being thwarted on the man advantage, the Huskies finally broke through when Kerr tapped in a easy rebound goal into a wide open net. Freshman winger Jordan Baker was sprung for a solid one on one chance, and he slid the puck out to senior center Peter Rouleau from behind the net. The local star fired a shot that forced Zacharias well out of the net, setting the stage for Kerr's second of the year at 12:10.
"Baker did a great job getting the puck to the net," said Kerr. "Rouleau just tried to bang it in, but the puck took a nice bounce right to me."
The Mavericks had a couple of power plays early in the third to try to get on the board, but instead probably wished Huskies defenseman Mark Malekoff had never gotten a penalty. Rouleau nearly made the Mavericks pay shorthanded twice in a fourteen second span. The first was on a breakaway, and the second after the picking up the loose rebound and cutting around the net and back out front at about mid period
"We dodged a few bullets in the third," said Russell. "I didn't think we controlled our sticks very well."
Teslak was tested much more often through the remainder of the third as the Mavericks finally seemed to get their feet underneath them. The Mavericks outshot the Huskies nearly two to one in the third, and Teslak saw several of those with the Huskies down a man.
"We got a little 'laxed in our systems in the third tonight," said Kerr. "We let them get a little momentum, but luckily Teslak was back there."
The Huskies did have some more opportunities to extend their lead to three as junior center Alex Gagne picked up a Maverick miscue, grabbed the puck, and skated it in on Zacharias, who had to make a tough save.
With time winding down in regulation, the Mavericks showed their youth in spades, as they continually failed to get control of the puck in the offensive zone allowing Jutting to get Zacharias out of the net.
On a positive note for Mavericks' fans, freshmen defensemen Kurt Davis and Ben Youds both showed a lot of potential as they both logged a lot of minutes, especially in the third period.
"I thought they both did a good job tonight," said Jutting. "They had some jitters, but overall I was pleased."
Teslak finished the game with 25 stops en route to his fifth career shutout. Zacharias was forced to make 29 stops for the Mavericks.
"I felt that the loss (to Northern) was my fault," said Teslak. "I wanted to come out better tonight."
The Huskies finished zero for six on the power play, while holding the Mavericks to zero for seven. The Huskies have held opponents to one for sixteen on the season so far.
The Huskies win was a big one in front of the 2462 Husky fans. Slowly but surely, the Huskies are continuing to get better attendance numbers as the seasons are progressing.
The teams return to the MacInnes tomorrow night for the rematch. Face-off is set for 7:05 Eastern time.

The movie will be directed by Wolfgang Petersen ("The Perfect Storm"), with Andrew Kevin Walker ("Seven") writing the script. Supposedly the two superheroes are allies who come to mighty blows over what Petersen describes as differing philosophies.
Here's the rest of the Daily Variety article...
"It is a clash of the titans," Petersen told Daily Variety. "They play off of each other so perfectly. (Superman) is clear, bright, all that is noble and good, and Batman represents the dark, obsessive and vengeful side. They are two sides of the same coin and that is material for great drama."
Neither of Petersen's superheroes have been cast. However, just as Sam Raimi made the unlikely choice of Tobey Maguire for his hit "Spider-Man," Petersen said he is seeking actors who can offer complex emotions as well as six-pack abs.
"Everything after Sept. 11 is different," he said. "You want to change the image of these superheroes."
In particular, Petersen pointed to "The Bourne Identity" star Matt Damon as "an interesting action man and a hell of an actor."
The filmmaker cited early 2003 as a realistic start date, with plans for five or six months of shooting.
Whatever battle the two superheroes face, it probably won't be as brutal as the one Warners has tackled in trying to revive its "Superman" franchise.
In April 1998, after spending millions on scripts and director attachments, studio worldwide production president Lorenzo di Bonaventura pulled the plug on "Superman Lives" during pre-production. Despite a prodigious investment of time and money, the project suffered from a bloated budget and less-than-airtight script.
However, Petersen emphasized that his film is not a continuation of the previous series, last brought to the big screen in 1987's "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace."
Similarly, development continues on a standalone "Superman" with "Charlie's Angels" director McG, writer J.J. Abrams and producer Jon Peters, as well as Darren Aronofsky and Frank Stack's "Batman: Year One."
Petersen is attached to a number of other projects at Warner Bros. These include the Orson Scott Card sci-fi series "Ender's Game" and "Ender's Shadow" as well as the epic "The Trojan War." He said his interest in those projects continues.
"It was just too exciting to me not to do 'Batman vs. Superman' now," he said. "It's good to have a handful of projects cooking in your drawer. Let's see what happens after this."

µPFC IR1150: Compact, Powerful
CCM PFC from 75W to 4kW+
OCC does not have the traditional analog multiplier, AC line sensing or fixed oscillator ramp. In OCC the output of the error amplifier is integrated over each clock cycle to generate a variable-slope ramp. This variable ramp is compared with the error voltage and subtracted from the current sense signal to generate the PWM gate drive.
The IR1150 responds to changes in output voltage in just one cycle of the internal clock giving excellent response.
High Power (>200W) Systems
High power applications (>200W) need CCM PFC to have high efficiency and small system sizes. However, traditional CCM multiplier-based solutions are complex, require many design stages and have a high component count, making CCM solutions very expensive.
In a typical 1kW SMPS, the new OCC solution has 40% fewer resistors and capacitors, removes a current transformer and has a 50% smaller PCB area for the PFC control section. In addition, the IR1150 has a dedicated Over Voltage Protection (OVP) pin to give greater protection for high power systems.
Low Power (<250W) Systems
Lower power applications (<250W) traditionally use DCM systems for simplicity and low system cost. However, as system power increases to 100W and above e.g. for high end laptop or LCD TV adaptors - DCM systems are large due to high peak currents and EMI filter requirements. OCC operates in CCM mode with reduced peak currents and a 43% reduction in EMI filter needs. This translates into a 16% reduction in PCB and an increase in power density of 10% for a typical 120W laptop adaptor.
Governmental & Energy Standards Compliance
The IR1150 includes features such as enable, micro-power start-up and sleep mode for compliance with energy efficiency standards such as 1W Standby, Blue Angel and Energy Star.
IRs OCC method used in the IR1150 is an attractive solution to PFC (THD) legislation such as IEC 1000-3-2 in Europe, JIS C 61000-3-2 in Japan and the China Compulsory Certificate (CCC) for products using more than 75W. PFC is not yet a requirement in the US, however, specifications are being prepared by the IEEE.
Even without the need to meet governmental legislation, PFC solutions using the IR1150 OCC IC offer two more advantages; a) designers can create one design with universal AC input for worldwide use which streamlines manufacturing, inventory and logistics, and b) PFC eliminates AC-line harmonics, reducing the rms current and so allows higher power motors or pumps to be used without tripping domestic circuit breakers.

Wyoming resource experts have written a 48-page guide to help landowners prepare for and cope with wildfires.
The "Living with Wildfire in Wyoming" guide includes recommendations for landowners, such as using defensible space practices to reduce the fire risk to structures, being prepared if evacuations should occur and addressing the effects of fire on a property.
"As we get ready for what could be another challenging fire season, I hope that folks who live in rural areas will find this publication useful in planning for the upcoming year and in recovering from last year'sfires," said Bill Crapser, state forester, Wyoming State Forestry Division.
Specific topics include insurance issues, potable water and sewer systems, hazards following a fire, soil erosion from wildfire damage, reseeding, weed control and livestock grazing considerations. Suggestions to address issues caused by wildfire are provided in an example property.
"There were at least 1,300 fires affecting more than 600,000 acres in Wyoming last year," said Jennifer Thompson, small-acreage outreach coordinator with University of Wyoming Extension. "What type of season we have this year remains to be seen, but beetle-killed trees combined with dry conditions could lead to an equally active season. Whatever happens, wildfire is part of life in Wyoming whether you live in a forested, sagebrush or grassland area."
The guide is available at extension, Wyoming State Forestry Division and some conservation district offices throughout Wyoming. The guide is also available online at www.uwyo.edu/barnbackyard and clicking on the link under News for the Season.
Glen Whipple, director of UW Extension, said the guide is an important educational tool for extension.
"I think this publication is an important contribution to the citizens of Wyoming and extension at the university," he said, "in that it provides not only solutions and ways to reclaim property damaged by the fires of last summer but also includes information about how to landscape your property to reduce potential fire damage if we have another difficult fire season in 2013 or in the future."
More information on wildfires is available on the Barnyards and Backyards website at www.uwyo.edu/barnbackyard/resources/wildfire.html.
For more information about the guide, call Thompson at 307-745-3698 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
