Canadian adults, both men and women, are the most obese in a survey of 63 nations that raises new health warnings for our country.
A whopping 36 per cent of Canadian men and women seen in family doctors' offices are obese, compared to just seven per cent in eastern Asia, the massive study says. And a further 40 per cent of the Canadian men who saw their doctor, and about 30 per cent of the women, were overweight, though not obese.
As well, Canadian men in the survey had the largest waistlines in the 63 nations, a major indicator of health problems to come. Canadian women were above average, but not the biggest.
However, it's not a global survey, as a few countries with known weight problems, in particular the U.S., were not included.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention list an obesity rate of 32.9 per cent of American adults in 2003-04.
But the results published by the American Heart Association's medical journal, Circulation, still represent bad news for Canadian hearts.
Montreal cardiologist Jean-Pierre Despres said although 36 per cent of Canadians in the survey were obese, this doesn't represent the overall adult population. Health Canada says the national obesity rate is about 23 per cent.
"But that's far from reassuring," said Despres, speaking for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
The high rate of obesity in doctors' offices shows it's the heaviest Canadians who are sickest, he said. "And if you go to a cardiovascular (unit), the number would be even higher."
The survey's biggest news, he said, is family doctors can accurately measure waistlines and can use this as a tool to learn who is most at risk of heart trouble and diabetes.
"This is the largest study to assess the frequency of adiposity (body fat) in the clinic, providing a snapshot of patients worldwide," said study lead author Beverley Balkau, director of research at INSERM -- France's national institute of health research.
The study gathered data from 168,159 people (including 3,062 Canadians) from 18 to 80 years old (with an average age 48) in 63 countries.
Family doctors were asked to check the BMI of every patient who came to see them on two half-days in 2005.
"The more obese, the fatter you are, so supposedly the worse (problem) it is," said Dr. Gerald Fletcher, a cardiologist with the Mayo Clinic who is familiar with the survey.
The big waists seen in Canadian men -- a median of about 100.3 centimetres, meaning half the men were bigger and half smaller -- is a huge matter of concern, he said.
The measure is taken halfway between the lowest rib and the hip bone, which is higher than the waist on a pair of pants.
"The abdominal obesity they looked at -- that's the waist circumference -- is another type of obesity which is even more devastating" than overall weight, he said. Recent research has found not all fat affects the body the same way. Low-slung fat on the hips and thighs is less likely to cause health problems than fat in the abdomen, which dramatically raises the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
But the study goes beyond pointing to Canadians as a special case.
Obesity is nearly a worldwide problem that threatens to wipe out gains made in treating heart disease and diabetes, reports Balkau.
"The study results show that excess body weight is pandemic (apart from southern and eastern Asia), with one-half to two-thirds of the population overweight or obese by current definitions," she writes. And her team concludes that diabetes and heart disease rates are closely tied to waistline size, not merely to weight.
Several people may have the same BMI but different waist sizes, and in every country the ones with the biggest stomachs are in worse health, the study finds.
"For men, each increase of approximately 5.5 inches (14 cm) means an increased frequency of about 35 per cent for heart disease and for women an increase of approximately six inches (15 cm) equates to a 40-per-cent increase for heart disease," the study authors report.
The average age of patients surveyed was 48 years, although in Canada the group was slightly older, averaging 51 years.
At least Canada doesn't score worst in the crucial category of heart disease. That distinction belongs to a group of Eastern European countries including Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Poland and Slovakia, possibly related to high rates of smoking in Eastern Europe.
In those countries, an average of 27 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women were found to have cardiovascular disease.
In Canada, 16 per cent of men in the survey, and eight per cent of the women, had cardiovascular disease.

NL Game 52
Caramanico 11
Wilson Safe Company 7
For the first 4 innings, this National League game resembled a Major League game. Both teams pitchers were firing strikes, registering a number of strike outs and the kids were making defensive play after defensive play. The highlight of the night and maybe the year was a diving catch by Brian Koskinen. He was playing first base. A foul ball was hit in front of his dugout. Fully extended horizontally, Brian made the catch about 2 inches from the ground.
Colin Mcguire pitched the first two innings for Wilson Safe Company, registering 3 strikeouts, while giving up only 2 runs. Charles slackway and Matt Rectenwald got the only hits off Colin. Steve McAlee pitched the third and fourth innings for Wilson, registering 3 strikeouts, while giving up only 3 runs. Meanwhile Wilson Safe was making a ton of plays, including 2 force plays at home, thanks to the catching efforts of Bobby Rennie and Steve Mcalee.
Caramanico broke it open in the fifth, or so they thought, with 6 runs, thanks to the hitting of Ethan Heller, Alex Mulhearn, Alex McLaughlin, Bryan Leonard, James Kantnor (2hits for the game) and Charles Slackway (2 hits for the game). Wilson came back in the bottom of the 5th with six runs of their own. Hitting for Wilson was Bobby Rennie, Matt McNichol and Brian Koskinnen.
Alex McLaughlin pitched 4 stellar innings for Caramanico, striking out 8, while only allowing 1 run. Ethan Heller came on in the sixth inning and shut the door, striking out 3.

I wonder if it will be available via the android app?
Good job by ISU. I'll be dropping the 9 bucks for the month to watch.
Pollard is always making dollars. Based on Pollards number there, Clone Zone for the UNI game made ISU $54,000.

Sweet! I've still got my clonezone subscription! Didn't think I'd need it after the UNI game...
Bravo Pollard. Just squeezed $9 outta me as well.
You feel the floor give you a little tingle, man, Iowa State junior point guard Monte Morris said in a private moment after the game, leaning against a wall in the bowels of Hilton Coliseum. You feel it. You feel it. Its real. You feel it on the court. Its a tough feeling to explain. Its a vibration. It gets you going.
He paused.
Its magic.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That just made my day.
Does this mean that some other school is going to leave the conference since we are showing a conference game on our third tier network!!!!!!

Date Fairness.com Resource Read it at: Jun 22, 2016 Is Donald Trump right about Hillary Clinton?
QUOTE: ...Trump raised valid questions about Clinton's foreign policy positions, fund-raising practices and email quandary -- but he did so in his vintage over-the-top fashion, with so many personal insults that many will ignore or forget the substance of his criticism.
CNN (Cable News Network) Jul 16, 2015 The ambassador's tale: Lessons I learned about success and scandal
QUOTE: Truth often loses its way in Washington and never more quickly than during a presidential campaign....Several of my friends tried to rally the president's support, but I knew no one from the White House would publicly walk into what was to them a minor story.
Washington Post Oct 19, 2013 Scientific research has changed the world. Now it needs to change itself
QUOTE: Too many of the findings that fill the academic ether are the result of shoddy experiments or poor analysis (see article). A rule of thumb among biotechnology venture-capitalists is that half of published research cannot be replicated. Even that may be optimistic.
Economist Apr 28, 2013 Erasing History
QUOTE: The arrest story was obviously true when it was first published. But Connecticut's erasure law has already established that truth can be fungible. Martin, her suit says, was "deemed never to have been arrested." And therefore the news story had metamorphosed into a falsehood.
New York Times Apr 19, 2013 Mistakes in news reporting happen, but do they matter?
QUOTE: reporting mistakes may not be as consequential as they used to be, media observers say. Although errors can travel faster than ever in a wired age, corrections and accurate information flow faster, too...
Washington Post Dec 27, 2012 Viral Spiral 2012: The constant battle against crackpot claims, paranoid conspiracy theories and malicious lies.
QUOTE: old viral emails, unfortunately, never die — and new ones spread like a highly contagious disease. These overwhelmingly anonymous messages are, by and large, bogus. Many not only twist the facts but also peddle pure fabrications, urging recipients to forward these "shocking" revelations to all their friends. And despite all good common sense, people do pass along these malicious attempts to deceive, often in the same amount of time it would take to check their tenuous hold on veracity.
FactCheck.org Nov 11, 2012 BBC Chairman Says Network Needs Radical Overhaul
QUOTE: The BBC's chairman said Sunday that the broadcasting organization was in a "ghastly mess" as a result of its bungled coverage of a decades-old sexual abuse scandal and in need of a fundamental shake-up.
New York Times Nov 09, 2012 Fantasyland: Denial has poisoned the GOP and threatens the rest of the country too.
QUOTE: Romney has no political heirs in his own party or elsewhere, he does leave behind a cultural legacy of sorts. He raised Truthiness to a level of chutzpah beyond Stephen Colbert's fertile imagination, and on the grandest scale. That a presidential hopeful so cavalierly mendacious could get so close to the White House, winning some 48 percent of the popular vote, is no small accomplishment. The American weakness that Romney both apotheosized and exploited in achieving this feat—our post-fact syndrome where anyone on the public stage can make up anything and usually get away with it—won't disappear with him. A slicker liar could have won, and still might....This year's instantly famous declaration by the Romney pollster Neil Newhouse that "we're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers" crystallized the mantra of the entire GOP. The Republican faithful at strata both low and high, from Rush's dittoheads to the think-tank-affiliated intellectuals, have long since stopped acknowledging any empirical evidence that disputes their insular worldview, no matter how grounded that evidence might be in (God forbid) science or any other verifiable reality, like, say, Census reports or elementary mathematics
New York Magazine Oct 15, 2012 Do facts matter?
QUOTE: it is not clear what impact the fact checkers are having on the public at large or, nearly as important, on the politicians. They keep laying out the facts and the politicians keep stretching the truth. There is little evidence that the public is outraged by any of the revelations nor that it has any real influence on how the politicians conduct themselves...
CNN (Cable News Network) Mar 08, 2012 Online, a Distant Conflict Soars to Topic No. 1
QUOTE: in a testament to the explosive power of social media, he managed to do so in a matter of days, baffling diplomats, academics and Ugandans who have worked assiduously on the issue for decades without anything close to the blitz of attention that Mr. Russell and his tight-knit group of activists have generated....many viewers had never heard of Mr. Kony or his murderous band of fighters until seeing the video by Mr. Russell's group, Invisible Children, pop up in their Facebook feeds.
New York Times Dec 06, 2011 Crystal Cox, Oregon Blogger, Isn't a Journalist, Concludes U.S. Court--Imposes $2.5 Million Judgement on Her
QUOTE: A U.S. District Court judge in Portland has drawn a line in the sand between "journalist" and "blogger." And for Crystal Cox, a woman on the latter end of that comparison, the distinction has cost her $2.5 million....was sued by investment firm Obsidian Finance Group in January for defamation, to the tune of $10 million...
Seattle Weekly Jun 12, 2011 Shedding Hazy Light on a Midnight Ride
QUOTE: With all the revisions prompted by a modern political statement, one Wikipedia contributor asked on a discussion page whether they should consider simply erasing all the additions and returning the page to its pre-Palin state "considering that this is an article about a guy that died 200 years ago (and no new information has emerged recently) the entire flurry of recent activity can be attributed to defenders or detractors of Sarah Palin."
New York Times Apr 25, 2011 Why I am suing Washington City Paper
QUOTE: Simply put, this lawsuit is about the truth — and the need to correct the record, even when you are a public figure, when your character and integrity are falsely and recklessly attacked.
Washington Post Apr 24, 2010 Jon Stewart's Punching Bag, Fox News
QUOTE: It is true that the often-left-leaning "Daily Show" deals with a wide array of topics, but Fox is one that Mr. Stewart is overtly passionate about; he said on the show this week that he criticizes the network a lot because it is "truly a terrible, cynical, disingenuous news organization."
New York Times Apr 04, 2010 Debunkers of Fictions Sift the Net
QUOTE: David and Barbara Mikkelson are among those trying to clean the cesspool. The unassuming California couple run Snopes, one of the most popular fact-checking destinations on the Web. For well over a decade they have acted as arbiters in the Age of Misinformation...
New York Times Sep 15, 2009 Cracking the Spine of Libel (The wild Side)
QUOTE: English libel laws create particular difficulties for science journalists. Science, after all, is about evaluating evidence. Science journalism, sometimes, requires pointing out when evidence is weak or absent.
New York Times Sep 10, 2009 Ghostwriting Is Called Rife in Medical Journals
QUOTE: In the scientific literature, ghostwriting usually refers to medical writers, often sponsored by a drug or medical device company, who make major research or writing contributions to articles published under the names of academic authors.

Washington Post Aug 24, 2009 Wikipedia to Limit Changes to Articles on People
QUOTE: Now, as the English-language version of Wikipedia has just surpassed three million articles, that freewheeling ethos is about to be curbed. Officials at the Wikimedia Foundation... say that within weeks, the English-language Wikipedia will begin imposing a layer of editorial review on articles about living people.
New York Times Aug 22, 2009 Ridge's Telling Tale, or Just Another Tell-All?
QUOTE: There is something about the Beltway culture that seems to discourage protest resignations. Instead, the well-worn path is to collect your grievances, find a publisher, hit the talk-show circuit and recast yourself as a painfully honest critic of the administration you once saluted.

Salon Jul 29, 2009 Should you trust health advice from the web?

New Scientist Jul 29, 2009 Unpopular Science
QUOTE: The problem with the decline of science journalism is not just that there is less attention overall to science; it's that the remaining science coverage is less illuminating. Instead, it indulges in a variety of journalistic pathologies that thwart an improved public understanding of science.
Nation Jul 28, 2009 A Rorschach Cheat Sheet on Wikipedia?
QUOTE: in the last few months, the online encyclopedia Wikipedia has been engulfed in a furious debate involving psychologists who are angry that the 10 original Rorschach plates are reproduced online, along with common responses for each.

New York Times Jul 16, 2009 A Hollywood Blogger Feared by Executives

New York Times Jul 12, 2009 How the Media Wrestle With the Web (Link by Link)
QUOTE: In short, where it involved describing the Neda video or repeating what was being reported from Tehran via blogs or Twitter, traditional news outlets were willing to recognize that what was appearing online was newsworthy — if only for the reactions it was causing among the public in Iran and abroad.
New York Times Jun 26, 2009 Farrah's Fictions: What stories like Fawcett's can teach us about cancer.
QUOTE: Diagnoses of cancer routinely generate periods of what we might call "ritualized optimism."

Washington Post Jun 06, 2009 Ping: Get the Tech Scuttlebutt! (It Might Even Be True.)
QUOTE: That drive to compete with the so-called mainstream media is what's behind his strategy. He doesn't have the luxury of a large staff to confirm everything, so he competes where he has the advantage. "Getting it right is expensive," he says. "Getting it first is cheap."
New York Times May 15, 2009 Oprah's bad medicine: Given her influence, it's a shame the TV star offers unbalanced health and medical advice.

QUOTE: that complexity [of global climate change] poses a unique challenge for the media, one that in its increasingly decimated state it may be ill-equipped to meet
Time Magazine Sep 12, 2008 Palin admits truth on Bridge to Nowhere
QUOTE: What Palin said during the interview was actually the truth about what happened to end the Bridge to Nowhere. (Though, of course, she didn't acknowledge that there was a wide discrepancy between the truth and the story she's been telling voters.) As my colleague Mike Madden has ably documented in this space before, what Palin "killed" was a dead bridge.
Salon Aug 08, 2008 Dirty Politics in the Internet Age
QUOTE: Hence, the Net can be used to create a smear campaign and augment a questionable series of more formal assertions like the Swift Boat campaign used against John Kerry. This can be done by the public at large, and neither party really has an advantage. The key to success in the upcoming election will be home-brewed dirty tricks—all played out on the Internet.
PC Magazine May 29, 2008 Ex-Aide Turns Critic; Chorus Strikes Back
QUOTE: As news of Mr. McClellan's new tell-all book — in which he calls the war in Iraq a "strategic blunder" and accuses Mr. Bush of engaging in "self-deception" — dominated the airwaves, the White House and a tight-knit group of former aides pushed back. They sought to paint the former press secretary as a disgruntled man trying to redeem his own reputation after long remaining silent about concerns he is suddenly taking public.
New York Times Feb 04, 2008 Private Schools Cry 'Unfair' Over a Grade

New York Times Nov 02, 2007 That Love Letter to Vick? We Take It All Back
QUOTE: Four years ago, Atlanta Magazine published a glowing profile of the Falcons' star quarterback, Michael Vick, who is now suspended from the N.F.L. and awaiting sentencing on federal charges stemming from an illegal dogfighting ring, among other legal problems....Lots of publications will run a correction when they get something wrong, or publish a fresh article when events overtake what they have said on a subject. But it's a rare day when a magazine will rip its own coverage to shreds this way.
New York Times Oct 22, 2007 Crass public discourse: Time to push back? The impending return of Don Imus to the airwaves comes as some see a desire for moderation.
QUOTE: Now, some experts suggest that the level of the nation's discourse has sunk to a new low, and there's a growing push-back from both the grass roots as well as some in the media – a demand for a more civilized way of conversing publicly. Others aren't so sure a push-back is under way, but say that the more the hard-edged, crass aspects of the media are discussed, the better it will be for the nation – ultimately helping to moderate the tone of public discourse.
Christian Science Monitor Aug 30, 2007 For Idaho Paper And Reporter, Craig Story Posed a Moral Dilemma
QUOTE: The kind of dilemma facing the Statesman has played out repeatedly in recent years as news organizations have grappled with secondhand accounts about political figures and questionable sexual conduct.
Washington Post Aug 14, 2007 See Who's Editing Wikipedia - Diebold, the CIA, a Campaign
QUOTE: On November 17th, 2005, an anonymous Wikipedia user deleted 15 paragraphs from an article on e-voting machine-vendor Diebold....the changes came from an IP address reserved for the corporate offices of Diebold itself. And it is far from an isolated case. A new data-mining service launched Monday traces millions of Wikipedia entries to their corporate sources, and for the first time puts comprehensive data behind longstanding suspicions of manipulation...
Wired Jul 06, 2007 Lying in the Name of Truth: When Is It Justified for Journalists?
QUOTE: It's one of the age-old debates in journalism circles. Can a journalist tell a lie to reveal the bad behavior of others? Or, put another way, when might a journalist obscure the truth of his identity in pursuit of the truth on a story?
Poynter Online Sep 24, 2006 An Investigative Target? A Subject? A Fine Line.
QUOTE: distinctions in a federal criminal manual between a "target," someone the Justice Department has decided to seek charges against, and a "subject," someone under investigation who could be upgraded to a target, are largely meaningless in a practical sense.
Washington Post Sep 13, 2006 History by miniseries: Too fast, too loose? ABC's 'Path to 9/11' ignited a furor over political meddling – and how it will play in an election season.
QUOTE: The controversy over "Path" boiled over even before its première Sunday. Several officials in the Clinton administration publicly complained that the dramatization distorted their actions to track down Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
Christian Science Monitor Aug 28, 2006 Podcasters' Guide To Avoiding Lawyers
QUOTE: The content producer is often without formal training and education. Worse, he typically doesn't have teams of lawyers to slap him on the wrists before they end up in court. Instead he has a fool for a lawyer, representing himself in Web 2.0 as publisher and litigator, without the credentials for either.
WebProNews Aug 21, 2006 Why cable news pursues the JonBenet Ramsey case: While broadcast networks offer traditional journalistic fare, their cable rivals are now more like the Daily News than The New York Times
QUOTE: be sure that the words we use in a headline, that the language we use to describe what's taking place, are measured and thoughtful. That's a sentiment that John Ramsey, JonBenet's father, emphasized when the Karr development broke, urging the media not to repeat its mistakes and convict the man before he's even charged.
Christian Science Monitor Aug 14, 2006 In Wars, Quest for Media Balance Is Also a Battlefield
QUOTE: part of a larger, underlying issue: the role of images in fairly portraying the conflict incited nearly five weeks ago by Hezbollah's raid into Israel...Editors and executives at newspapers, newsmagazines and the broadcast and cable networks say they do not impose a formula for fairness on coverage of this conflagration.

ECB to Have Power to Shutter Banks?
By Riva Froymovich and Geoffrey T. Smith
A proposal for a single euro-zone bank supervisor that the European Commission will deliver on Wednesday would give the European Central Bank unprecedented powers.
The central bank, which has a reputation for conservative fiscal policy, would have full authority to shut down banks across the euro zone, be "exclusively competent" to authorize and assess credit institutions, as well as impose capital buffers and carry out stress tests, according to a draft of the proposal, dated Sept. 6, posted online by Il Sole Friday.
The European Commission declined to comment on the authenticity of the document.
The draft proposal is a first step by the Commission to forge a banking union, which is seen as key to repairing the structural flaws of a single currency union with separate institutions, oversight regimes and laws.
In another document seen by The Wall Street Journal, the European Council supports the Commission's view that the ECB should be ultimately responsible for supervising all euro-zone banks, rather than just the largest banks in the region. The letter, however, acknowledges that setting up a single body to cover the 10 countries outside the euro zone "would face considerable legal and political restraints," while the Commission's proposal suggests an opt-in model for these countries.
Under the Commission's draft proposals, the ECB would be empowered to ask any banks or person tied to an institution for information needed for it to carry out its role. If these requests are not met, the central bank would be able to impose fines that amount to up to twice the institution's profits or 10% of annual turnover in the previous year. The ECB would also levy credit institutions to cover its supervisory tasks.
Many officials at the ECB have expressed concern that having the power of life and death over a European financial sector characterized by extensive state ownership will expose it to even more intense political pressure than at present. But the EU proposal says that there should be a divide between bank oversight and monetary policy tasks, and leaves it up to the ECB to decide how to best do that.
The Commission targets early 2013 to start rolling out the single supervisor's authority.

The fans of "The Little Couple" have seen the struggles of Jen Arnold and Bill Klein as they have dealt with life. Working through cancer, adoption and everyday ordeals that comes with their lives, the couple has stood by each other and offered the viewers of TLC a front row seat. On Tuesday night, during the season finale, the fans get to see the strong bond of love the couple has in a romantic moment. According to People Magazine on Tuesday, Jen Arnold is surprised by her husband as he renews their wedding vows in an amazing ceremony on the beach.
Reaffirming his love in front of friends and family, Bill Klein makes the heart of every woman melt as he declares his love for the princess in his life. The change to renew his vows with his wife of five years was almost taken by her battle with cancer and now that he has a chance to do it perfectly, it was picture perfect.
The idea of keeping the entire event, down to the actual location, a secret from Jen Arnold is extraordinary impressive. Keep in mind Bill Klein also had cameras following the couple around and anyone on the crew could have accidentally let the secret out of the bag. Yet, the surprise was completely shocking and the look on Jen's face describes her love for one of the most romantic men on the planet.
The other part of this fabulous story that people get to watch on the season finale of "The Little Couple" is the beautiful gown Jen Arnold wore. According to Hollywood Life on Tuesday, even though she didn't know about the surprise, her hubby went and got the beautiful dress made to surprise her and it looks quite stunning.
Fans will agree that "The Little Couple" has opened their home and life to the viewers and ending the season with a gesture of love seems perfect. With Will and Zoey standing beside their parents on the special day it appears that Bill and Jen have found true happiness!
"The Little Couple" season finale airs Tuesday on TLC.

I have three words for this one - Only. In. Japan. Seriously - I love some of the games they get and this one is no different. Konami have recently announced "Project Loveplus".
Project Loveplus is a dating simulator which is 3D-capable, but that's not it's selling point. It's selling point would be the "boyfriend lock" which uses facial recognition to prevent any "virtual cheating". If someone else picks up your 3DS and tries to play the game, your virtual girlfriend (yeah, that sounds normal) will act confused and ask "who are you".

As far I know,
/dev/cdrom usually provides a read-only device. However, some sources suggest to add
ro in the

Is there a difference between

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user,ro 0 0
or will
mount add always

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 cruises through FCC
For the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 to have a November 28th release date in the U,S., a quick trip to the FCC is necessary. So it's not at all surprising to find some documents, as well as photos, pertaining to the said Windows Mobile-powered handset from the FCC.
The U.S. Xperia X1 will fortunately come with quad-band GSM and tri-band UMTS support to take advantage of all its connectivity features. Additionally, it should also work fine with AT&T's HSDPA network.
Expect the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 to be made available on November 28th through regular retail outlets. And don't forget, it's going to be $799.99.

"Clinical genetics evaluation in identifying the etiology of autism spectrum disorders: 2013 guideline revisions." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
This guideline updates a previous version: Schaefer GB, Mendelsohn NJ. Genetics evaluation for the etiologic diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders. Genet Med 2008;10:4–12.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), including:
All patients and families with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs)
The guideline authors searched the following databases: PubMed, Autism database, Autism Genetic Database (University of Kansas), and SFARI Gene for a time period of over 13 months. Databases were searched back to 1960. The search terms used were: Autism AND Genetics, Familial, Recurrence risk, Epidemiology, MECP2, PTEN, UBE3a, Angelman, Mitochondria(l), Cytogenetics, CMA/CGH/microarray, Testing, Linkage, Metabolic, Smith-Lemli-Opitz, Cholesterol, MRI, Neuroimaging, Brain, Teratogen/environment, and Perinatal/neonatal risk factors.
These searches yielded over 1,000 articles; from these, 285 were selected to read.
76 articles
Not applicable
Not stated
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published cost analyses were not reviewed.
The Diagnostic Process
There are, however, genetic conditions that have been reported in association with ASDs for which the reported association is not convincing. For patients with these conditions, it is recommended that an etiologic evaluation of the ASD be undertaken as an independent process (see Table 6 in the original guideline document). If the clinical geneticist does not identify a specific disorder in the initial evaluation, further testing can be accomplished as outlined in the table below.
Table: Template for the Clinical Genetic Diagnostic Evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorder
aDNA testing for fragile X in females if indicators present (e.g., family history and phenotype).
None provided
The type of evidence supporting the recommendations is not specifically stated.
Appropriate evaluation of the etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs)
It has been argued that cost and the logistics of sedation make neuroimaging studies too risky for the yield. It has been suggested that multiple sedations at an early age are associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes.
This guideline is designed primarily as an educational resource for clinicians to help them provide quality medical services. Adherence to this guideline is completely voluntary and does not necessarily assure a successful medical outcome. This guideline should not be considered inclusive of all proper procedures and tests or exclusive of other procedures and tests that are reasonably directed to obtaining the same results. In determining the propriety of any specific procedure or test, the clinician should apply his or her own professional judgment to the specific clinical circumstances presented by the individual patient or specimen. Clinicians are encouraged to document the reasons for the use of a particular procedure or test, whether or not it is in conformance with this guideline. Clinicians also are advised to take notice of the date this guideline was adopted and to consider other medical and scientific information that becomes available after that date. It also would be prudent to consider whether intellectual-property interests may restrict the performance of certain tests and other procedures.
An implementation strategy was not provided.
Not applicable: The guideline was not adapted from another source.

Sunshine Network has been re-running "Gridiron Greats" a show that features Florida teams in big games. They reshow almost the entire game interspersed with commentary from the coaches and players who were in them.
I just watched the Hurricanes 31-30 game against the Cornhuskers, the game that started "The Uuuuuus" rise to prominence over the next 2 decades.
But, as I sat there and watched it, I noticed something interesting: The Huskers were playing right to the rules. There were numerous non-calls of holding, pass interference, chop blocks, and other assorted misdeeds that might have been illegal. And of course you had the "Fumblerooski" where the guard picked up the fumbled ball and ran it for a TD. The play caused a rule change, and was made illegal the following year (or maybe the year after). Only, it was illegal on this day as well, because the QB never touched the ball. And it looked to me (25 years later) that this was intentional. There was also a switch of jerseys that Bernie Kosar said was "childish" between two players to throw the Miami players off. Turns out there wasn't a specific rule about that at the time, and Osborne exploited it.
Why was it interesting? Because they were the Patriots, 20 years before the Patriots started doing the exact same thing. Bellicheat plays right to the rules, and even ocassionally bends some to gain an advantage.
It was odd to look back at this game as an adult (I was in high school when it was played) and realize what the Huskers were doing - cheating. And then to realize that I've seen the same thing in pro sports over the last few years...
I swear, I felt like I was watching the Patriots play in that game...

In From Stone to Living Word, author and pastor Debbie Blue shows how Christians have treated the Bible as a firm foundation---and thus an idol---rather than a "living response to a living being."
In the opening chapters of the book, Blue shows how Christians read and preach in ways that lean toward idolatry. Then she sets out to dismantle this tendency by interpreting important biblical themes such as creation, incarnation, atonement, and resurrection in a new way. Her reflections transform the familiar into something strange, new, thrilling, and alive.
In a world where idols are used to divide and oppress, Blue's recognition of the tendency to idolize the Bible frees Christians from preconceived notions, allowing them instead to discover new possibilities.
Blue's fresh and sharp insights will appeal to everyone from those who find the Bible irrelevant or suspect to those who are looking for a way to make their faith alive. Her winsome, honest, and often amusing writing captivates and inspires.

Publisher's Description
Author and pastor Debbie Blue helps readers discover how to turn the stone back into living Word. She first gives general guidelines for letting the Bible breathe, then looks at the Bible's main themes as dynamically encouraging and challenging. Blue frees believers from dumbed-down spirituality as she reveals that the Word is alive and thrilling.
Author Bio
The author uses many personal experiences to prove her case against the use of bibliolatry and delves into a wonderful new interpretation of how the Bible is meant to be read and understood. While many Christians believe their studies of the Bible are meant to inspire and enrich, usually the opposite occurs as they become familiar with the teachings. I have seen this in myself and many others, making this a great analysis in overcoming this misconception that the Bible is predictable and outdated.
I recommend this book for anyone who has struggled in keeping Gods Word alive in his or her life, which I am sure applies to everyone. This is also a great book for any age group and a wonderful devotional tool in any church setting. -- Heather Schultz, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com
Author Bio
"For many, scripture is the fossilized detritus of rationalism and moralism. Debbie Blue's soulful reconstitution of the Christ narrative is nothing short of divine alchemy. Absolutely brilliant." -Sally Morgenthaler, coauthor of An Emergent Manifesto of Hope
"First off, it must be said without equivocation: Debbie Blue is a brilliant writer. She masterfully and winsomely weaves the sublime and the mundane, the stones and the living words. And we can all count ourselves blessed that she has turned her literary talents on the Bible, that tome that many of us feel attracted to and repelled by at the same time. Debbie Blue will help you fall in love with the Bible (again). If you long for living words, read this book!" -Tony Jones, author of The New Christians: Dispatches from the Emergent Frontier

During Art Basel's prodigious display of modern and contemporary art, Dec. 4 – 7, in Miami, Grey Area debuted their whimsical collection of artist-designed yoga mats.
From a kaleidoscope pattern topped with the image of Mr. Clean, his intestines exposed, the artist's name across his waistline to the likeness of a partial moon, craters on the bottom and an open window cut into the smooth upper section, the images speak to the ironies that emerge when commerce and spirituality collide. The artwork spans the spectrum from complex to simple.
Seven mats produced by artists Daniel Arsham, Wim Delvoye, Eric Cahan, @earlboykins (Andrew Kuo's idiosyncratic instagram identity), Jon Kessler, Kon Trubkovic and in-house Grey Area designers bear images inspired by sahasrara, the crown chakra. (When fully activated sahasrara is the highest experience of human evolution.) The underside of the mat is purple, the color that represents the chakra that resides at the top of the head.
The mats are made from eco-friendly PVC and can be purchased at greyarea.com.

Benchmark numbers of a HD 5770 (from ASUS) have been shared out on the web over at website MyMyPC.
You can view the figures via a series of screenshots comprising 3DMark Vantage and 3DMark06 results in comparison to the GTX260, GTX275, and HD 4890 on the same system for reference.
Looking over the results, it appears the card only shows promise in 3DMark06, edging past the GTX 260, but in all the other tests it struggles to keep up by a good amount, making it more of a comparable offering performance wise to the existing Radeon HD 4870.

It is a terribly fascinating period for D.C.'s assertive charter school movement, and one that could impact the direction these alternative schools go for years to come. Issues regarding the use of public money have risen right to the surface of education reform as two charters, Options and Dorothy I. Height Community Academy, are involved in legal disputes with the District's Attorney General over contracts with independent entities. In addition, it was revealed this week that one member of the D.C. Public Charter School Board, Barbara Nophlin, has been consulting for Friendship PCS at the same time that the D.C. School Reform Act precludes members of the Board from working for charters.
This is the moment that the PCSB must show its determination to right the ship. It must proclaim loudly and clearly that when it comes to the responsible use of the community's cash it takes that oversight responsibility as seriously as a mother takes the care of her newborn child. If steps are needed to strengthen the Board's ability to be transparent in this area then those moves should be thrust into the civic discourse so that improvements can be immediately implemented.
In addition, while the Board has little direct control over the level of governance being performed at its 100 campuses, the need for strong training for these bodies must be emphasized. A couple of days ago Charter Board Partners announced a partnership with the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools that will spread the organization's fine resources across the country. Simultaneously the PCSB should encourage in any way that it can the improvement of oversight by the non-profit boards that are located right here in the District. It is quite possible that better board training would have avoided both the legal troubles and negative publicity for the system that now educates 44 percent of all public school students.
Next year the city will transition to a new administration and there is great uncertainly about what this will mean to charters. Therefore, it is imperative that we get our house in the highest order before this change occurs. Only then will can we position ourselves for decades of future success.

I have a couple of SIP phones and use callcentric. I get a lot of junk calls. I'd like to implement the following feature and would like some suggestions on how to do this:
Once I get a junk call, I typically hang up. I want to dial some number (like *23 or something) and I'd like the last number that was received to be put in a database. Any future call from that number will be directed to VM or a busy tone.
I'd appreciate some pointers on how I'd go about doing this.. I prefer an open source solution.

Or a girl!
Meet the latest attraction- Sabrina's belly! For just 2 minutes and 50/50 odds you can decide if she's having a boy or a girl! Feel free to poke her, make her hold her dress tight, look in her eyeball, or ask her the day of conception- anything is free game now!
One morning at the end of my first trimester I shot straight up out of bed and declared "I'm having a boy." Unfortunately only the birds heard me as my husband was curled up in a ball still sound asleep and oblivious to my declaration, but I did say it. I have had exactly one baby dream so far and in it I was cradling a gorgeous little boy.
Then a few days ago I saw a ladybug. Now I am convinced it's a girl and the ladybug was a sign sent to me.
What we know for sure is that it's either a boy or a girl. Not a monkey and not a penguin. A human boy or girl.
Doesn't help this curious lady much!!!!
I must know now!
We will be thrilled with either, even though that sounds horribly cliché and annoying. And although we really do feel that way, this waiting game must end soon. I am counting down the days to our ultrasound and the days are as slow as a gorgeous summer day stuck in the office.
Our family and friends seem to think it is fine to poke me and make me turn around to check out my belly as though it will magically tell them if it's a boy or a girl. It is fine with me because I appreciate their guesses. I also love hearing all of the different gender prediction old wives' tales that go around, never mind those who say they can read your ultrasound themselves to learn the gender. When our family and friends guess girl I automatically call them out on thinking that I look fat since I heard that with a girl you gain weight all over and with a boy you have a cute basketball belly. When they say boy I kiss and hug them and tell myself they are right- I look just right for 18 weeks and not like a beached whale dressed up in play clothes. I know I said I didn't want a boy because of the whole name issue, but that was just a passing phase of futuristic mommy guilt for not having the perfect name ready. Boy or girl is just fine.
I need your help to get me through the next week of waiting by taking some guesses on the gender of our baby. I'll give you all the stats so you, my magic 8 ball of readers, can make an informed highly unscientific decision on what we are having.
Weight I've gained up until now this pregnancy: 8 or 9 lbs
Where I've gained it: only in my belly and chest so far
Chinese gender prediction chart states: girl
Baby's heartrate over the last several weeks: high 160s
Friend's weird eye test states: boy
Dreams I've had of a baby boy: 1
Dreams I've had of a baby girl: 0
What my husband thinks we are having: girl
What I think we are having: boy
Foods I've been craving: all salty/sour + strawberry shortcake and fruit
Shape of my belly: the Italians say it's pointed? Not sure what this means.
So? What is it? A boy or a girl? Take a guess in the comments, and then tell me which gender prediction tests were right about your baby.

Dear Gurus,
is there any tolerance limit we can maintain for the fert material from sales point of view.
like as per material master system bring the weight from master data lets say 10kg, and customer physically weight it, it found as 11kg, so system can check that weight is in tolerance limit.
Looking for the response.
Dear Imran,
As Per my knowledge the tolerance limit is considered with respect to quantiy.
we have over delivery tolerance and under delivery tolerance.
For example if we consider a sales order with 150 PCA (Piece articles) ordered quantity and under delivery tolerance limit 20% is set then if the user creates the delivery for 120 PCA the status of the SO will be complete instead.
20 % of 150 PCA is 30.
so if you deliver 120 PCA also then the staus of SO will be complete.
Ok, got your point.
but where I should configure this percentage. ?
this % is appear on sales order level, but I want to assign a already decided % to the specific material, not on the sales order directly.
Hopr you understand the scenario.
Looking for your response.
Dear Imran,
We can maintain tolerance level in master at two place 1. customer master 2. material master
Tolerance level maintained in material master will be applicable in PP module, meaning you have maintained tolerance level in material master as -10% to +10%. Now you create a sales order of 100kg, and based on that create production order of 100kg. but due to some reason you are able to produce 90kg only so based on tolerance maintained in material master you production order will get completed.
Tolerance maintained in customer master is what you can see in the sales order. where you exactly specify over and under delivery tolerance. but it will be customer specific.
But as you want to maintain tolerance for a specific material for delivery, you need to create customer material info record by using VD51, where you can maintain under and over delivery tolerance pertaining to a particular customer and material.
And secondly the tolerance will not only depend on the quantity, but it will depend on the unit of measure maintained in the material master. so, if your unit of measure is KG then you can set tolerance level wrt KG.
Your idea to create customer material information record is near to my solution, but it cant feasible for my client to create seprate record for all the customer and material just for having this information.
tolerance at customer level is useless in my scenario, and PP related also useless.
Pls provide any possible other solution if there is any.
In sales order, at item level in shipping tab you can find both under delivery and over deliver tolerance limits.
I dont think it can be configures at material level.
Issue resolvwe,
will maintain the tolerance in the customer material information record.
I know this is an old thread but I was looking for a way to get rid of our user exit and found this. We did not want to create thousands of CMIR records so we added ZV45AF13 into MV45AFZZ in FORM userexit_move_field_to_vbap. Basically, we just check MARC for teh reocrd and teh loading group since bulk is the only type that gets an underdelivery tolerance.
update vbap.

She has a cousin Taylor who is in the book as well. A book for toddlers. Contains one poem. Very delightful, cute and interesting; written for toddlers. Humerous. Dedicated to my granddaughter Abby!
(The book "Taylor Goes to Granny's House" is very similar to this one; does contain some of the same illustrations altho most of them are different.)
I am a wife, mother and grandmother. My greatest JOY is being a Grandmother....I love my grandchildren so much and it comes out in my poems! My family is my first priority in my life. I live just outside of Halifax, Nova Scotia. I enjoy many different hobbies and they change daily; right now my favourite pastime is writing!

Above: Probably the guy we%26rsquo;re talking about
While there were several saints who went by the name Valentine, the one we%26rsquo;re thinking of was a priest who married Christian couples at a time when being a Christian was pretty damned illegal. After trying to convert Emperor Claudius II himself, Valentine was beaten and beheaded. And who else do we know that gets beaten and beheaded on a fairly regular basis? That%26rsquo;s right: videogame characters. And that%26rsquo;s pretty much all the justification we needed to do this.
7. Bloody Rotors
The game: X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Wolverine may not be the greatest movie-adapted superhero game we%26rsquo;ve ever played, but it%26rsquo;s the most unexpectedly bloody, with a digitized Hugh Jackman who cuts loose from the movie%26rsquo;s PG-13 restrictions and just carves dudes the hell up. As Logan does his thing, blood and limbs fly everywhere in a spectacle that%26rsquo;s so remarkably violent as to make the film seem cartoonishly neutered by comparison.
Amidst all the severed arms, impalements and eviscerations, there%26rsquo;s one moment that makes XMOW particularly worth playing, and it happens in the early moments of the game. While strolling around some cliffside ruins, Logan is suddenly attacked by his natural enemy: a helicopter. Literally leaping into action, he stabs the shit out of the chopper%26rsquo;s fuselage, punches through its windshield and%26hellip; well, this happens:
As in-game decapitations by whirring machinery go, it%26rsquo;s over just a little too quickly, and the purple blood on the rotor seems like an odd step back for a game that so frequently revels in dismemberment. Still, we can%26rsquo;t really think of any more awesome way to dispose of an enemy chopper pilot than to feed him to his own bird. If anything, this was long overdue.
6. Three-in-One
The game: Mortal Kombat II
The Mortal Kombat series has always been rife with decapitations, each seemingly messier than the last. In MK%26rsquo;s 19 years(!!!) of existence, we%26rsquo;ve seen heads torn off (frequently with the spine still attached), sliced to pieces, swallowed whole, melted, burned, skeletonized, transformed into a vomited spume of femurs and bisected with razor-sharp hats. Choosing just one out of that awful mess is no easy task.
Above: Ew
But even with this incredible wealth of gruesome decapitations to choose from, there%26rsquo;s one that sticks out in our minds more than any other: Johnny Cage%26rsquo;s spine-severing uppercut from Mortal Kombat II. Specifically this version:
That%26rsquo;s right: Johnny Cage, blue-eyed actor from Venice, California, is so fantastically badass that not only can he punch with enough force to knock off a grown man%26rsquo;s head, but he can do it three times (apparently creating a new head with each subsequent punch). We don%26rsquo;t know why it happens, but we do know there%26rsquo;s no feeling quite like brutally murdering your opponent three times in quick succession and leaving heads littered everywhere. Particularly at an arcade in 1993, back when that sort of thing was considered cool.

ATM Machines have become the target of criminal opportunities such as robberies, purse thefts, and other personal crimes. The following is a list of suggestions to help reduce your vulnerabilities and criminal opportunities.
Here are some general rules and suggestions to keep in mind when using an ATM:
Treat your ATM card like cash. Always keep your card in a safe place and store in in the protective sleeve.
Keep your Personal Identification Number (PIN) a secret. Your ATM card will only work with your PIN. Never write your PIN on your card, and don't store it near your card.
Never give out information about your PIN over the telephone.
Report a lost or stolen card immediately.
check your receipts against your monthly statements to guard against ATM fraud.
When at an ATM machine:
Always observe your surroundings before conducting an ATM transaction.
Always be aware, alert and prepared to act when visiting an ATM Machine.
If possible, do not use an outside machine. Use machines that are inside locked,
If you use an outside machine, use one that is well lit and visible.
Try not to visit a machine alone. REMEMBER: The is safety in numbers.
Minimize time spent at the ATM machine by having your card out and ready.
Don't just walk up to the machine. Look around for suspicious cars or persons.
If using a drive-
When possible, leave enough room between cars to allow for a fast exit.
Cover PIN numbers so no one can read them.
Do not count your money while at the ATM. Don't flash cash. Don't dress expensively.
Don't leave receipts lying around. (Take them with you.) Don't put them in the trash container near the machine.
Trust your instincts. If you feel something is wrong, go to another machine.
If anything suspicious happens, cancel your transaction and leave the area.
