Moment Denver zoo keeper saved baby tapir by giving it mouth-to-mouth
A fast thinking staff member at the Denver Zoo rushed in to give a baby calf mouth to mouth when the newborn couldn't breath on his own.
A Malayan tapir, Rinny, gave birth on September 3 but her male calf couldn't break out of his amniotic sac and lay seemingly lifeless after the delivery.
But a zoo worker, Rebecca McCloskey, intervened to remove the calf from the sac and began giving the baby mouth to mouth to prompt the newborn to start breathing.

Miracle of life: A Malayan tapir, Rinny, gave birth on September 3 to a tiny male calf but the newborn couldn't break out of his amniotic sac
A mother's touch: The concerned mother nudged the newborn to break free and start moving but the little calf didn't respond
Footage from the miraculous event shows the mother nudge and nudge her newborn but he remained motionless.
Finally McCloskey and the zoo's veterinarian Gwen Jankowski decided to move in to assist, and after a few minutes of mouth to mouth, the baby began to breathe on his own.
'It's always a little scary when something like this happens, but thankfully we all have great resources and training,' McCloskey said in a statement on Friday.
'It was such a relief to see him finally take those first breaths.'

The zoo has named the new arrival Dumadi, an Indonesian word that means 'beginning.'
Rescue: Rebecca McCloskey joined the staff of the Denver Zoo in 2009
The striped infant, who looks like a
black and white watermelon, is developing normally and within weeks of
his birth he is already swimming and walking.
Malayan tapirs, whose bodies are described as pig like, are native to Asia.
Their coats are said to resemble Oreo cookies, with a black front and back and a greyish/white middle section.
They live in humid, rainy climates and predominately reside in Indochinese peninsula and Sumatra.
On average, they can measure 3-feet-tall and be between 6 to 8-feet in length and can weigh as much as 1,100 pounds.
They are listed as endangered species, with only 2,000 living in the wild, as their distinct coats make them a target to hunters.
Baby Dumadi's mother, who was born in 2007, came to the Denver Zoo from Seattle in 2010.
The calf's father, Benny, was born in 2006 at the City of Belfast Zoo and came to Denver in 2007.
Dumadi's arrival marks the first birth of his species at the Denver Zoo, which is home to nearly 4,000 animals and 700 species.
Signs of life: After several attempts at mouth to mouth the zoo workers are relieved to finally see the newborn begin to move

New arrival: The blue-eyed baby Dumadi has a coat that looks like a black and white watermelon print

Major League Baseball's winter meetings kick off next Monday in Las Vegas. By that time, Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek will have to decide whether or not to accept an offer that could be the best he will receive this winter.
The Sox underscored their interest in bringing back Varitek for at least another year by offering their longtime catcher salary arbitration last night. Varitek has until Sunday to decide whether to accept or reject that proposal.
Usually, such an offer to a free-agent seems like little more than a formality. Teams will offer arbitration to ensure that they receive draft picks as compensation if/when a player bolts for a better deal elsewhere.
But in Varitek's case, there is reason to believe that he will not see a better offer than arbitration this offseason, whether from the Sox (who can continue to negotiate with Varitek whether he agrees to arbitration or not) or another team.
Granted, Varitek is a three-time All-Star. He is represented by agent Scott Boras, a master of creating markets where none seem to exist. At the G.M. meetings last month, Boras used the four-year, $52.4 million deal signed last offseason by Yankees catcher Jorge Posada (after a career-best offensive season) as a point of comparison for what Varitek might seek.
But those numbers will likely confront a stark reality. Varitek was, in the words of one talent evaluator, a "zero" at the plate in 2008.
His woeful offensive season (career-worst .220 average and .359 slugging, .313 OBP) came at a time when economic woes are forcing teams to approach multi-year deals with extreme caution. There is, naturally, a chance that Varitek will bounce back. All the same, there are legitimate questions about whether, at 36, his days as an elite offensive player are over.
If those concerns are sufficiently widespread, Varitek may well determine by Sunday that he will not see a better contract—or opportunity—than the one he can get from the Sox through arbitration. At least one American League official saw it that way.
"I would think he accepts if offered," suggested an executive yesterday, before the Sox announced their decision to offer Varitek arbitration. "Can't see a team going multi-year with him…stranger things have happened of course."
The likelihood that Varitek will find a better deal from another club—odds that already seemed limited, in a market where the catcher has no declared suitors other than the Sox—became more remote with the offer of arbitration.
Another team would have to offer Varitek more money than what he might receive from the Sox in arbitration (one year, $10-12 million). Moreover, because Varitek is a "Type A" free agent, another team would have to sacrifice a draft pick, perhaps even a first-round selection, that would go to the Sox as part of their compensation for the catcher's departure.
(For a full description of the sometimes-byzantine rules surrounding draft-pick compensation for free agents, visit this very useful page at SoxProspects.com.)
It was already cheaper in salary for teams to try to trade for a catcher rather than sign a free agent such as Varitek. Now, the cost in players (a high draft pick versus one or more prospects who would be used in a deal) is less imbalanced.
Of course, as the A.L. official pointed out, "stranger things have happened," and Boras does have a long history of finding lucrative contracts for players surrounded by question marks. (See Ordonez, Magglio; Rodriguez, Pudge; etc.) But the presumption that the superagent will never accept arbitration for prominent free agents is false.
Most famously, Greg Maddux shocked the Braves when he accepted their arbitration offer and signed a one-year, $14.75 million deal in 2002. The future Hall of Famer is not alone among prominent Boras clients who accepted arbitration offers:
--Following a 2001 season in which he hit 73 homers, Barry Bonds accepted the Giants' arbitration offer. Bonds (and Boras) later signed a four-year, $72 million deal.
--Free-agent pitcher Kevin Millwood rejected a three-year, $30 million contract offer from the Phillies. But after the market for his services proved sluggish, the Boras client—whom the Braves, coincidentally, had to trade when Maddux took their arbitration offer in 2002—accepted Philadelphia's arbitration offer, then came to terms on a one-year, $11 million deal.
-- Reliever Ron Villone accepted the offer of arbitration in 2004; he and the Mariners agreed to a two-year deal before the start of the 2005 season.
--Just last year, then-Braves outfielder (and Boras client) Andruw Jones insisted that he wanted a multi-year deal. But after he signed a two-year, $36 million deal with the Dodgers, Jones later admitted that he would have accepted arbitration had the Braves offered it.
The lesson? Boras is gifted not only at creating markets, but also at evaluating them. Now that the cost of acquiring Varitek has gone up for 29 teams, the odds seem greater than ever that he will return to the Sox in 2009.

Caught And Turnabout
I was caught by my wife after having had sex with a twenty-two year old co-worker. To stay in the marriage, she demanded "equal time" to which I agreed. She went golfing with her best male friend from work; also married (I know him socially). The course was private and not busy; they turned the cart off into a woodsy, but still semi-visible, area. She got completely naked in public and gave him oral sex. He then had full sex with her twice. She came home smirking and casually informed me that he has a bigger package than I have.

The next get-together of the London Chapter will be our Annual Picnic, as always to be held in conjunction with Archaeology/Artifact Day at the Longwoods Conservation Area west of Delaware, Ontario. It will be held on Sunday, July 17/16 beginning at 11:00 AM. London Chapter members will get free admission so do not purchase a ticket at the automated machine at the gate. Rather follow the entrance road to the resource centre in the Conservation Area where you can pick up a ticket for display in your vehicle and then park in the lot just to the north of the centre. All you need is your picnic lunch including beverages! There will be a barbecue if you need it and there is always some extra free food like hot dogs. London Chapter members will identify artifacts brought in by the general public and there is always a chance to try one's hand at flint-knapping and such -- see details about how to get to the Conservation area here: http://www.lowerthames-conservation.on.ca/conservation-lands/longwoods-road-conservation-area-ska-nah-doht-village-museum/ Also. details of the artifact day can be found here:http://www.lowerthames-conservation.on.ca/events/artifact-day/ See you there!

PAKSAT-1R: China launches Pakistan's 'first' communications satellite
12 August 2011
Billed as Pakistan's 'first' advanced communications satellite PAKSAT-1R, as a part of Pakistan's Space Programme 2040, was launched on Thursday at 9:17 pm on board China's Satellite Launch Vehicle from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in Sichuan province.
The geostationary satellite would orbit at 23,000 miles above the surface of the earth and is expected to enhance the broadcast and broadband capabilities of the country. However, some scientists say that what Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) has achieved today could have been done 30 years ago. They question whether our so-called space programme is on the right track.
Expected clients
PAKSAT-1R has a design life of 15 years and will provide TV broadcasting, Internet and data communication
services across South and Central Asia, Eastern Europe, East Africa and the Far East. The satellite will now enable the extending of communication services to all areas of Pakistan.
Apart from Pakistan Army, there are more than 45 clients of PAKSAT-1R, including leading telecom companies such as Mobilink, and broadcasters such as Geo and ARY.
Technical details
The PAKSAT-1R weighs 5,115kg and is based on the DongFangHong-4 platform with 18 Ku-band and 12 C-band transponders onboard. The China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) had been nominated as PAKSAT-1R's chief contractor after President Asif Ali Zardari and Chinese President Hu Jintao signed an agreement in October 2008. The company was made responsible for the design, manufacturing, final assembly, testing and launch of the satellite.
Suparco has kept mum about the cost of the multi-million dollar project. Sources within PAKSAT say that at the moment the entire cost has been borne by China which has to be paid back.
According to a press release, Defence Secretary Lt Gen Syed Athar Ali (R), Secretary Foreign Affairs Salman Bashir, Director General, Strategic Plans Division Lt Gen Khalid Ahmed Kidwai (R) and Ambassador of Pakistan to China Muhammad Masood Khan were present on the occasion. Suparco chairman Major General Ahmed Bilal was also reportedly present.

Yes it is, I'm afraid. Or almost. Good grief, I know, it's not even Thanksgiving yet and they've already got the festive "Best Of" decorations up in the stores! And I know lots of critics who've been told by their editors to start working on their big '00s lists -- so, reluctantly, I've begun to ponder mine, as well. I haven't even taken a first stab at it but I can tell you this: It will probably not resemble the Top 100 list published a few days ago in the Times of London. Oh, sure, I can conceive of putting together some kind of list that includes "Crash" (#98), "Bowling for Columbine" (#77), "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" (#28), "Slumdog Millionaire" (#6) and the like -- but such a ranking would not be comprised of movies that I hold in high esteem. (Have any of the decades' movies plummeted in reputation more dramatically than "Columbine" and "Crash"?)
If you want to page through the Times' list, you can go ahead and start here. It's not all so bad. Meanwhile, here are the top 20 -- with links to things I've written about some of the titles:

LASIK Myopia Workup
- Author: Michael Taravella, MD; Chief Editor: Hampton Roy, Sr, MD more...
Other Tests
Ultrasound corneal pachymetry
Pachymetry is an important part of the refractive surgery workup.
The FDA has mandated that 250 µm of untouched cornea remain in the bed following LASIK. This is calculated as follows: initial pachymetry minus calculated (or measured) flap thickness minus ablation depth must be greater than or equal to 250 µm.[7] Ectasia, which represents a biomechanical weakening of the cornea (see Complications), is risked when the residual bed is less than 250 µm. Note that leaving 250 µm in the residual bed does not guarantee that ectasia will not occur; this is simply the current FDA guideline.
Wavefront analysis
Some basic concepts are useful in understanding wavefront analysis customized corneal ablations.[8, 9]
Wavefront technology is an offshoot of astrophysics and was initially developed to help obtain undistorted telescopic images of the night sky. The current technology used in refractive surgery examines what happens as light interacts with the optical system of the eye.
A wavefront represents a locus of points that connects all the rays of light emanating from a point source that have the same temporal phase and optical path length. The optical path length specifies the number of times a light wave must oscillate in traveling from one point to another point. Light propagation is slower in the refractive media of the eye than in air, so that more oscillations will occur in an optical system, such as an eye, than in air for light to travel the same distance. If the optical system of the eye is perfect, a point source of light emanating from the back of the eye will create a locus of points with the same optical path length exiting the pupillary plane in the form of a flat sheet. This represents an unaberrated wavefront. When the cornea or lens has imperfections, optical aberrations are created, causing the wavefront to exit the eye as curved or bent sheets of light.
Aberrations can be defined as the difference in optical path length (OPL) between any ray passing through a point in the pupillary plane and the chief ray passing through the pupil center. This is called the optical path difference (OPD) and would be 0 for a perfect optical system.
Another way of characterizing the wavefront is to measure the actual slope of light rays exiting the pupil plane at different points in the plane and compare these to the ideal; the direction of propagation of light rays will be perpendicular to the wavefront. This is the basic principle behind the Hartman-Shack devices commonly used to measure the wavefront. Wavefronts exiting the eye are allowed to interact with a microlenslet array. If the wavefront is a perfect flat sheet, it will form a perfect lattice of point images corresponding to the optical axis of each lenslet. If the wavefront is aberrated, the local slope of the wavefront will be different for each lenslet and result in a displaced spot on the grid as compared to the ideal. The displacement in location from the actual spot versus the ideal represents a measure of the shape of the wavefront.
Once the wavefront image is captured, it can be analyzed. One method of wavefront analysis and classification is to consider each wavefront map to be the weighted sum of fundamental shapes. Zernike and Fourier transforms are polynomial equations that have been adapted for this purpose. Zernike polynomials have proven especially useful since they contain radial components and the shape of the wavefront follows that of the pupil, which is circular. Fourier transforms, however, may prove to be more robust and allow mathematical description of the wavefront with less smoothing effect and greater fidelity. Illustrations of the basic Zernike shapes are appended.
The term higher order optical aberration has begun to replace the older term irregular astigmatism as wavefront analysis has become more accepted. This simply refers to the mathematical term used to describe the aberration and its place in the polynomial expansion. Lower order aberrations, such as sphere and cylinder, require lower order mathematical terms within the polynomial expansion to characterize them and are commonly referred to as second order aberrations. The most important higher order terms are spherical aberration (a fourth order term) and coma (a third order term).
Fortunately, spherical aberration is relatively easy to understand. Light rays entering the central area of a lens are bent less and come to a sharp focus at the focal point of a lens system; however, peripheral light rays tend to be bent more by the edge of a given lens system so that in a plus lens, the light rays are focused in front of the normal focal point of the lens and secondary images are created. This is why many lens systems incorporate an aspheric grind, so that the periphery of the lens system gradually tapers and refracts or bends light to a lesser degree than if this optical adaptation was not included. See the image below.
Traditional myopic LASIK patterns tend to induce spherical aberration; the higher the degree of correction, the greater the induction of this optical error. During the day, the pupil size tends to limit the effect of spherical aberration, since peripheral light rays are blocked. At night, as the pupil enlarges in dark or scotopic conditions, these light rays enter the eye and can create a blurred focal point and secondary images.
Custom laser treatments incorporate a specific algorithm to help limit the induction of spherical aberration. This algorithm is based on a patient's unique wavefront measurement of their individual eye to some extent. However, the most important aspect of treatment is a blend or tapering of the peripheral treatment zone. Some lasers have incorporated a noncustom approach to this problem and create the transition zone at the edge of the ablation based on an empirical approach that takes into account the patient's prescription glasses and corneal curvature readings instead of using unique patient wavefront data. The best approach to limit this problem is under investigation. Note that coma and other preexisting aberrations would only be corrected by using data from an individual patient's unique wavefront error to plan and determine the shape of the laser ablation pattern. This approach is used in custom treatments.
Wavefront maps are commonly displayed as 2-dimensional maps. Just as interpretation of corneal topography has been greatly aided by the use of color maps, so too has wavefront mapping. The color green indicates minimal wavefront distortion from the ideal, while blue is characteristic of myopic wavefronts and red is characteristic of hyperopic wavefront errors.
Remember that wavefront maps are a 2-dimensional attempt to display 3-dimensional shapes. See the images below.
The Root Mean Square (or RMS) value has proven to be a useful way of quantifying the wavefront error and comparing it to normal. This number can be calculated for the wavefront as a whole or as individual components of the wavefront when displayed as Zernike polynomials. See the image below.
Corneal topography is a method of measuring and quantifying the shape and the curvature of the corneal surface. Most topographers consist of a placido disc made up of multiple circles, which is backlit or projected onto the corneal surface. The resultant circular images are reflected and captured with a video camera and digitized.[10]
Using the mathematics of convex mirrors and proprietary mathematical algorithms, the image size is measured and quantified. The resulting data are displayed as a corneal curvature map.
The maps consist of colors corresponding to corneal power and curvature; steep contours are displayed as warm colors (eg, red), while flat contours correspond to cool colors (eg, green, blue).
Both absolute and normalized maps can be displayed. Absolute maps always assign the same color to the same power, and normalized maps take into account the range of power over a given cornea, ascribing red and yellow colors to the steepest contours and blue and green colors to the flattest contours for that particular cornea.
Many factors can affect the accuracy and reproducibility of corneal topography maps; these factors include quality of the tear film, the ability of the patient to maintain fixation, and operator experience.
Corneal topography is used primarily as a screening tool to evaluate prospective refractive surgery candidates and a diagnostic aid in evaluating refractive surgery patients with poor outcomes.[11, 12] Irregular corneas are poor candidates for refractive surgery since results with current lasers can be unpredictable. Keratoconus and contact lens warpage are the most common causes of irregular corneas in the screening population. Steep (ie, red) areas isolated to the inferior cornea suggest keratoconus, and many topographers come equipped with programs to alert the clinician when a diagnosis of keratoconus is likely. Postoperative patients with poor vision should have topography; such problems as central islands, irregular ablation profiles, and decentered laser ablations can be assessed with these devices.
