Of the complications that can occur following tumescent liposuction, seroma formation is unusual. It is a common practice for seromas to be aspirated blindly with a needle and syringe. We present a case of seroma formation following liposuction, with a subsequent step-by-step technical description of ultrasound-guided drainage of the seroma. Utilization of ultrasound provides a safe, effective method for aspirating seromas, allowing for accurate visualization and delineation of the seroma margins, proper needle placement, and monitoring of progress. It is a simple and useful tool in postprocedural management of patients undergoing liposuction.

Voices: Americans react to healthcare ruling
- 28 June 2012
- From the section US & Canada
The Supreme Court has upheld President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law. A mother, an ill American, business leaders and policy analysts talk about what the ruling means.
Teri Kepner, mother of an ill son without his own health insurance
Cody is now 24. A couple of years ago his Crohn's disease became active. He became deathly ill. We took him to the ER. The surgeon said yes, he definitely needs surgery.
He was in the hospital for eight days and the bills just racked up. I was able to put him back on my employer's health insurance [because of the Affordable Care Act's provision].
He had no healthcare between the age of 19 and 22, but he did have this chronic illness. Now, we have amazing insurance. People will literally physically be hurt without this healthcare act.
Jamie Richardson, vice-president of fast-food chain White Castle
We've offered health insurance to our team members since 1924 so it's a benefit we believe in, we've invested in. But from an economic point of view, [the Affordable Care Act] is going to incentivise fewer hours per employee in a really difficult cost environment.
With our 10,000 members, we consider 35 hours a week full time. That makes about 52% of our staff eligible for health insurance. [The Affordable Care Act] would consider full time to be 30 hours. We know that expansion of coverage would be dramatic in terms of cost.
I don't doubt the good intentions of those who support the law but the path to get there may be where the differences lie. This puts the burden on employers and it's going to really constrain us to create more jobs and more prosperity.
Elise Gould, liberal think tank Economic Policy Institute
This mattered for people's lives. The mandate provides a necessary safety net for millions of Americans who could not afford healthcare.
I don't think people understand how it can affect them or their neighbours' lives, how hard it is for people trying to get by these days. To have the government step in and bolster an important safety net is really important.
Healthcare cost is one of the leading factors behind bankruptcy. Making sure people have affordable healthcare is going to help families make ends meet.
Dr Scott Gottlieb, resident fellow, American Enterprise Institute
The Obama plan really put the onus on the physician.
Under the rules of the system, the only viable way that [insurance companies] are going to be able to cheapen the coverage is to get control over the doctors. They can't charge more. They can't spend less. They can't deny certain services.
It's going to place a financial burden on [doctors] to try to economise on the use of services rather than economise through the consumer or the government. Which in my view is the worst possible outcome because it's the least transparent to the patient.
Ajit Patel, diabetic
I'm elated that it was upheld. It allows me to get affordable insurance at this point - not just me but everybody that has pre-existing conditions.
I'm self-insured. I'm diabetic but my diabetes is under control. However, in the long-term, you know diabetics will get complications, whether it's eyesight, amputations, kidney problems. I know I'll delay, but I'll probably have that.
I've been hurt with the economy. When I have to put out so much money with medication, hospitalisation, it's a problem.
Tyeis Baker-Baumann, owner of Rebsco, an Ohio design-build firm
We do see this as a tax. There's nothing that I have seen in anything that would suggest that this is actually going to make healthcare more affordable for me, my employees or anybody in my comunity.
What small businesses in particular have been experiencing is an increasing escalation of premiums in order to provide any kind of health insurance for employees. Because I have no faith in the structure in which [the Affordable Care Act] will be executed, I think it will just simply continue to drive up premiums.
As a small-business owner, I anticipate I'll be having to make some difficult decisions over the next few years.
Patrick Griffin, political studies at American University
Opponents have spent millions and millions of dollars making extreme statements. You can move a needle on a public opinion poll if you have a game plan and resources to move the needle in a particular direction.
Most people don't really have a clue about all the pieces of it. The opponents made some wild allegations and the proponents did not efficiently respond. Opponents had been more effective in convincing the public it's a bad bill.
To argue this is some radical intrusion into people's lives is an overstatement. You know the opposition is going to work this. They have no alternative than to continue undermining its value.

Product Description
Product Description
Japanese limited edition of the punk legend's 2002 album with special slipcase packaging for the first pressing & the bonus track 'Shattered Faith'.
The Process of Belief finds Bad Religion returning to their roots in two important aspects. First, original guitarist Brett Gurewitz has rejoined the ranks, bringing with him the taut songwriting skills that made Bad Religion hardcore pioneers in the mid-1980s. Secondly, the band has returned to Gurewitz's successful indie imprint Epitaph after years on a major. The result is an album that captures the clean joy and vigor of melodic hardcore without sacrificing its moral core. Songs like "Supersonic" and "Prove It" are fast, catchy, and irresistible examples of the kind of prime ADD punk that's over before you know it. But the likes of "Materialist" and "Kyoto Now" find Bad Religion at their best. Greg Graffin sings at one point that "you might not think that there's any wisdom in a f***ed up punk rock song," but his rants against global pollution, ambition, and family politics prove otherwise. There are a few surprises as well--"Broken" is almost an acoustic chart anthem while "Bored and Extremely Dangerous" could be a Sebadoh song. In all, The Process of Belief is confirmation that you don't need big shorts and a low IQ to make a prime-grade punk rock album. --Ian Watson

With the release of "Process of Belief", the band has my renewed apreciation. It also has me dusting off my older BR CDs and rocking out to them nonstop. I'm glad to see them once again pioneering the punk rock scene, and even blowing away the newcomers. I'd also like to note that as good as this and their older albums are, Bad Religion is one of those bands that is 50 times better in concert.
Oh, and as for the moron who said they were ripping off Good Charlotte, sure... They were just sitting around one day watching MTV & taking notes. Then they got in their friggin time machine and went back twenty years. That's exactlly what happened.
If you are a fan of Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Sum 41 or the like, then pick up a copy of this CD, "No Control", "Suffer", or any one of their older CD's. This will show you where it all started. Not to mention the fact that it will get you listening to better music.
1. Supersonic (5/5) - Blazing punk glory, catchy and good lyrics
2. Prove It (5/5) - Same
3. Cant Stop (5/5) - Same again
4. Broken (5/5) - Great new sounding Bad Religion song, its got an acoustic guitar and it was on the radio.
5. Destined For Nothing (3/5) - Good but not great
6. Materialist (3/5) - Also good but not great
7. Kyoto Now (5/5) - Great political punkrock song
8. Sorrow (5/5) - A classic, a perfect and catchy punkrock song
9. Epiphany (5/5) - Almost sounds like a Red Hot Chili Peppers Song at first, great alternative/rock song.
10. Evangaline (5/5) - really catchy punk song
11. The Defense (5/5) - Great alternative rock song here too
12. The Lie (4/5) - Good just not one of the better ones
13. You Dont Belong (5/5) - A little slower and different, a great song tho.
14. Bored And Extremely Dangerous (4/5) - Good but not the best
Conclusion: Ive had this CD for 2 years and i still listen to it all the time! Its awesome any fan of punk or rock should pick it up!
Very best songs:
Kyoto Now
the Defense
I have the new album i listen all the cd is very good , awesome, the angeles is burning is a so so song, it have a 5 or 6 first songs very fast, the overture is great,and sinister rouge is like supersonic very fast and good, Love again...the last song is beautiful , in this cd Greg Graffin work more in the changes of his voice and explore similar styles in the slow songs ,very similar of his solo proyect, but more fast and strong,very good cd 4 stars for this too, this cd is in internet a few of weeks, very difficult of find.
This record really succeeded in bringing a feeling of overwhelming guilt over me, and should for most of society. Their comment's about society, religion, perserverence and defiance sunk in like a dagger. And my heart is still bleeding.
As far as how this album sounds: their sound is very refined for a punk band, and the melodic vocals really add to the meaning of the songs. The album starts fast, and continues with a biting pace for their first songs, and slows in the middle. But their meaning never escapes. Brilliant album. For fans of punk and casual listeners alike.
Off topic: The Bad Religion/Good Charlotte debate is pointless. Yet another rift in the generation gap widens. Younger listeners who dismiss Bad Religion as being too old to be good are the most ignorant listeners in the world, and really only follow popular radio tunes, rather than looking to any kind of music for inspiration. Paradoxically, if someone wants to listen to Blink or Charlotte then by all means go ahead. It is just a shame to dismiss Bad Religion.

Hi Yannick,
I noticed the search form results page address functionality doesn't work, ie it doesn't direct the browser to the results page set in the settings.
I had a look at the code with firebug and I see it does show the results page url in form action, but it shows id of current page in the hidden input value.
Changing that input value to page id of target page, or removing it altogether made it work as expected.
Hope you can fix it in the next version. Thanks!

Jonathan Zimmerman: For Mummers, A Strut ForwardRoundup: Historians' Take
Jonathan Zimmerman teaches history at New York University and lives in Narberth. He is the author of "Small Wonder: The Little Red Schoolhouse in History and Memory" (Yale University Press). He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Men dressed as women - at the Mummers Parade! Can you believe it?
In November, parade organizers announced that 10 self-described "drag queens" would accompany the String Bands along Broad Street from Washington Avenue to City Hall today. They're also expected to perform at the Convention Center between the acts of the Fancy Brigades.
Philadelphians greeted the news with a collective yawn, because cross-dressing has long been a staple of Mummery. Starting in the 1920s, feminine-attired "wenches" paraded down Broad Street paihttp://hnn.us/node/add/hnnred with tuxedo-clad "dudes." And until the 1970s, when women were finally allowed to participate in the parade, the Comic Division had a separate category for female impersonators.
But the wenches and dudes also wore blackface, adding a note of bigotry to the event. And real transvestites - as opposed to people who cross-dress just for the day - have faced extraordinary prejudice in Philadelphia and elsewhere across history, which makes the Mummers' embrace of them all the more remarkable....

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to video cameras that scan an object or printed text and transmit a magnified image of the scanned object or text to a video monitor for viewing by the visually impaired or by those who work with minute or detailed objects.
2. The Related Art
There are a number of devices commercially available for providing magnified images of a scanned object or printed text. One such device, for example, is manufactured by Innovations, Inc. of Littleton, Colo. and sold under the trademark MAGNI-CAM. The MAGNI-CAM video camera consists of a miniature video camera encased in a rectangular housing equipped with a fluorescent light. A cable connects the MAGNI-CAM video cameras housing to a control panel, which transmits the video signal to a video monitor. The MAGNI-CAM video camera camera housing is typically scanned over printed text by the user to produce a magnified image of the text on the monitor.
One problem inherent in the use of the MAGNI-CAM video camera is that the camera housing and the cable extending therefrom tend to clutter the work surface and interfere with other documents or objects on the work surface. For example, when using the MAGNI-CAM video camera for Business purposes there will undoubtedly be various stacks of documents and objects such as telephones, staplers, tape dispensers, etc. atop the user's desk. Experience has shown that use of the MAGNI-CAM video camera in such an environment results in the cable knocking objects off the desktop and upsetting or scattering stacks of papers on the desk as the camera housing is moved over a document. Also, when the user's desktop or other work surface becomes crowded, there is no convenient means of moving or storing the MAGNI-CAM camera housing out of the way but within arm's reach when not in use.
Examples of apparatuses for supporting and positioning video cameras include U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,158,489, 4,474,439, 5,275,364, and 5,318,257. The No. '489 patent discloses a body-mounted camera support assembly not suitable for use on a work surface such as a desktop. The Nos. '439 and '257 patents describe camera support mechanisms that exhibit a substantial "footprint" requiring substantial space on the work surface, thus contributing to the problem of cluttering the work surface. The No. '364 patent discloses a pole-type camera support that is not freely manipulable, and is therefore inadequate for conveniently scanning text across a page. In summary, none of these patents disclose a camera supported by a cable, so the problem of a cable cluttering a work surface is not identified or addressed.
In response to the above-described deficiencies in the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus that facilitates the use of a cabled video camera by supporting the cable over a work surface free from interference with the objects on the work surface.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an apparatus that will cause the cabled video camera to automatically move to a suspended position above the work surface and out of the way when not in use.
The objects described above, as well as other objects and advantages, are achieved by an apparatus intended for use with a cabled video camera, such as the MAGNI-CAM video, that transmits magnified images of an object or printed text on a work surface via a cable to a video monitor. The apparatus includes an elongated leg and an elongated arm connected at an angle to the leg for supporting the cable over the work surface, such as a desktop. Means, such as a clamp assembly, is provided for mounting the leg to the work surface in a vertically extending position for rotation about the leg's longitudinal axis to enable pivotal movement of the arm over the work surface. Means, preferably in the form of a pair of rotatable pulleys, is mounted to the arm for supporting the cable above the work surface and enabling the cable to move along the arm. In this manner, the cabled video camera may be positioned to scan objects or printed text on the work surface.
In a preferred embodiment, the end of the cable opposite the camera is connected to and suspends a counterweight beneath the end of the arm adjacent the leg. The counterweight has a weight greater than the weight of the camera whereby the cable is pulled in one direction along the arm and the camera is constantly urged upwardly by the force in the cable. The camera is thus positionable over the work surface by pivotal movement of the arm and by applying force to the camera to overcome the excess weight of the counterweight and pull the cable in the other direction along the arm. Means, such as a clip, is also provided for limiting movement of the cable in the one direction along the arm whereby the upward movement of the camera is limited to a suspended position above the work surface to which the camera will return when not in use. In this embodiment, the counterweight is a control panel that provides power to the camera and completes the transmission of the video signal to the monitor.
In the drawings, wherein like reference characters are used throughout to describe like parts:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus according to the present invention positioned above a desktop with the video camera in a non-functioning position;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the apparatus with the camera in use to scan a document on the desktop; and
FIG. 3 a side elevational view with the camera in motion towards its non-functioning position.
The preferred embodiment of the apparatus, referred to generally in FIGS. 1-3 as 10, includes elongated leg 12 and elongated arm 14 connected adjacent one of its ends at a 90� angle to the upper end of the leg. The other end of arm 14 extends for pivotal movement over desktop 100 by the rotation of leg 12.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, leg 12 is clamped in a vertically extending position for rotation relative to desktop 100 by clamping assembly 16. The clamping assembly includes upper and lower jaws 16a and 16b whose relative movement is controlled by screw 18. Leg 12 is mounted for rotation about its longitudinal axis within bearings (not shown) in upper jaw 16a. This permits the outer end of arm 14 to be pivoted in an arc over the desktop.
Pulleys 20 and 22 are mounted at the ends of arm 14 about pins 20a and 22a, respectively, for rotation relative to the arm. The pulleys carry video and power cable 24 in grooves 20b and 22b above desktop 100 for movement along arm 14.
Video and power cable 24 has first end 24a suspending camera 26 beneath the outwardly extending end of arm 14, and second end 24b suspending control panel 30 beneath the end of arm 14 nearest leg 12. Control panel 30 acts as a counterweight, and has a weight greater than the weight of camera 26 whereby cable 24 tends to be pulled in one direction along arm 14, to the right as shown in FIG. 3. Thus, camera 26 is constantly urged upwardly by the force in cable 24 from control panel 30, as indicated by the arrow shown in FIG. 3.
Cable 24 terminates within control panel 30, wherein it is connected to separate video and power cables 34 and 36. Video cable 34 completes the transmission of the video signal magnified by lens 28 of camera 26 to monitor 32. Power cable 36 is connected to a standard wall outlet (not shown), for providing electrical power to video monitor 32. Control panel 30 also includes an electrical switch (not shown) for energizing and de-energizing the video camera.
Camera 26 is positionable over desktop 100 by pivotal movement of arm 14, and by applying force to the camera to overcome the excess weight of control panel 30. In this fashion, cable 24 is pulled in the other direction along the arm, to the left as shown in FIG. 2. Such movement of camera 26 enables the user to scan and transmit magnified images of objects or printed text on the desktop to monitor 32 via cables 24 and 34 without cluttering the work surface with anything other than the camera.
For the times when the camera is not in use, means are provided for limiting upward movement of the camera, induced by the weight of control panel 30, in the form of cable clip 40 which is spring-loaded to close about and frictionally engage cable 24. Cable clip 40 is equipped with twin handles 42 which are squeezed by the user to open the clip, and adjust its position along the cable. As the camera is pulled upwardly, clip 40 will engage pulley 22 preventing further movement of cable 24 along arm 14. In this fashion, the upward movement of camera 26 is limited to a suspended position at a selected height above the work surface, as shown in FIG. 1, to which the camera will return when not in use. Thus, the video camera automatically assumes an out-of-the-way position until needed by the user.
The objects described above, as well as other objects and advantages, are achieved by an apparatus intended for use with a video camera that transmits magnified images of an object or printed text via a cable to a video monitor for enhanced viewing, in the form of an apparatus for suspending the cable and the video camera above a work surface such as a desktop for scanning an object or printed text placed on the work surface free from interference with the cable.
From the foregoing it will be seen that this invention is well adapted to attain all the ends and objects herein set forth, together with other advantages which are obvious and inherent to the invention.
It will be understood that certain features and subcombinations are of utility and may be employed without reference to other features and subcombinations. This is contemplated by and is within the scope of the claims.
As many possible embodiments may be made of the invention without departing from the scope thereof, it is to be understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawings is to be interpreted as being illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Religious lobbying is changing political focus
Number of lobbies has grown from 40 to over 200
This divide is particularly pronounced within the family of the late Martin Luther King Jr. King's widow Coretta favors same sex marriage and has compared homophobia with racism and has said that if her husband were alive today he would affirm the civil rights of gays and lesbians to marry. On the other hand, King's daughter Bernice vehemently opposes same sex marriage. As an elder in an large Atlanta church she teaches that homosexuality is a sin and in 2004 organized a march in opposition to gay marriage that started at her father's grave.
According to Pew's calculations roughly 390 million dollars are spent annually by religious lobby groups in pursuit of their policy objectives. From 2008 to 2009 of the 40 biggest spenders, 14 were inter-religious groups, six were Jewish, six are Evangelical Protestants, five were Catholic, four were mainline Protestants and two were Muslim.
The report cites how religious groups successfully advocated for the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act, a campaign to advocate on behalf of persons in foreign countries persecuted because of their religious beliefs, and the Jubilee 2000 campaign, which focused on debt relief for poor countries at the turn of the millennium.
The study does not address the factors behind the rise of religious lobbying groups in Washington, but Christopher Morrisey, an adjunct professor at St. Mary's College, says it's a natural outgrowth in a country where religion matters to most of its citizens. "Explicit religious participation in public discussions makes sense and can be valuable," Morrisey says. "Many citizens think of policy issues in religious terms." He argues that while some people may don't like the influence of religious organizations in politics, "at least religious advocates make religion's contributions to clear and debatable rather than murky and unavailable."
Of religious advocacy groups Morrissey says, "I have learned that they are both idealistic and realistic about their roles in policy and governance. They want to influence the policy making process, but they know that actual influence is tough and often fleeting."
"Real influence" he said, "takes working in coalitions ... and long term focused effort."

Freeway Shooter on The Loose in South Bay
Steve Martin in 'L.A. Story.'
In the 1991 film L.A. Story, spring means it's "open season on the L.A. freeway!"
Maybe someone finally got the memo this year, because a gunman has been on the loose in the South Bay, with a pedestrian and four vehicles hit in the last two weeks, authorities say.
The woman who was walking about 2:15 a.m. on April 18 on Main Street near 213th Street in Carson was okay because ...
... so far the shooter is using bird-shot pellets the size of ball bearings, cops say: She was hit in an arm and survived.

The weapon, however, is deadly enough: Law enforcement officials believe it's a shotgun.
And they think the same idiot is responsible for all five attacks. The others, according to cops, include these:
View Larger Map
-A woman was driving south on Normandie Avenue near Torrance Boulevard in Harbor Gateway South when her car was shot about 8:30 p.m. on April 23.
-The next day shots were fired on the 110 freeway near the Carson Street exit just blocks away from the last attack. The California Highway Patrol says that shooting happened at 8 p.m.
-Then, last Thursday, a car driven by a man was hit by pellets about 2:30 p.m. That one happened at Figueroa Street near Lomita Boulevard.
-Same day, 15 minutes later, gunfire broke out along the 110 freeway near Torrance Boulevard.
There was no suspect description available, but if you have some ideas for the cops, call detectives at the L.A. County Sheriff's Carson station: 310-830-1123.

PBC parents fed up with late buses want to track their child's bus; but district not ready
PBC evaluating security issues with tracking
Moms have been calling moms for minute by minute school bus updates.
"Have they gotten to you?" Julia Hanapole asked her friend?
Hanapole says her daughter got home an hour late three days in a row.
"This is outrageously annoying," explained Hanapole.
The school district never alerted her.
"Not a phone call. No notification," explained Hanapole.
Even though the district has GPS devices on all buses. The district paid $600+ per bus for the GPS.
"There should be a method to send us a text message," explained Hanapole.
Parents want that information in the palm of their hands.
"An app would be so easy," explained grandmother Anita Starkoff who was waiting for her grandkids.
But, the district doesn't have the software to make the GPS information available to parents yet.
So parents are coming up with their own solutions.
"If the bus driver has a smartphone and maybe just three minutes the problem would be solved," explained tech expert and dad Edward Hanapole.
Hanapole feels apps like Glympse can be used by bus drivers.
"I can zoom in and see where Charlie is and that's where I am," explained Ed pointing to a map.
It's currently used mostly to track friends, but parents feel it can give them a glimpse at how late their child will be.
"Compared to what exists today, which is no information and complete uncertainty I think within two weeks you would have a solution that is probably state of the art technology today," explained Ed.
Ed is even offering the district his expertise.
"I'd even be happy to put in some funding and development resources to do that and you could solve it across the entire community," Ed said.
The company who sold the district the GPS devices, Synovia Solutions, allows parents to log into a secure site to track their child's bus. It costs a dollar a bus per month.
But, the district said internal security concerns prevent them from using that program or any other one like the app this dad recommended.
Irv Slosberg, state representative and ranking member of the transportation committee, also met with the district about an app to solve the late and broken down bus problem. He met with the district after our story exposed that 70 percent of the districts buses broke down last year. He said the district hasn't responded to him despite emails and a voicemail following up on his June meeting with school officials.
The district says it's evaluating the security of its own system before it works with any of these outside vendors, but doesn't have a timeframe for when that will be completed.

Anyone with Chase Mobile BE ADVISED
This morning I woke up to check my account balance after my check had cleared, and I noticed an unauthorized "quick pay" to a recipiant named Daniel B. Miller for $800.
I don't make too many online purchases and when I do I don't store my card information on the website. What chase thought might have happened was someone got my username and PW somehow and logged in my account with a mobile device and made a quick pay to themselves. Which doesn't make sense because you have to obtain an ID code before you can log into a computer or mobile device for the first time. A code that would be sent to either my email or phone number.
I loved the convenience of having the app to pay bills and check balances and stuff like that, but I'm doing away with it now.
The people at Chase mentioned that there had been "higher than normal" reports of this type of activity so far this year.
Has anybody had this happen to them, or heard anything like this?

They are planning to temporarily stall the "quick pay" feature on their checking accounts in an effort to increase the security needed to add payees/ process payment.
Chase said this has happened before but the amounts were relatively small. The $800 was reported by their fraud department to be the largest amount stolen since quick pay was launched. I'm surprised the guy only took $800 and didn't wipe out my entire account.
I got my money back already (within 24 hours), plus a couple bucks extra for the inconvenience. But I still haven't received my payroll check that was scheduled to direct deposit while all of this is going on.
The only thing that sucks is that the account for "Daniel B. Miller" was probably created with a stolen identity and likely closed upon the clearance of the funds he appropriated for himself.
Also, I can't do any mobile banking for a month.
I've heard of cases of bank fraud in the past with other banks, and the people never got their money back.

In my opinion, the author's well researched statistics and solid advice for ground defence make this book an excellent addition to any martial artists bookshelf. In addition, the author has included an extensive set of well documented and photographed techniques. She also includes some nice variations on more traditional grappling techniques that make them much more practical from a self defence perspective.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this book to any martial artist looking to shore up their real life ground defence training.
The first few chapters establish key points for understanding the ground such as showing credible statistics that the majority of fights will most likely go to the ground, even if it's not often as often as usually touted. These opening chapters of the book are very straightforward and establish, which martial art demographic the text is meant for; Everyone. Included in the opening chapters are safety factors that the book takes into account for training on the ground that allows students and instructors to teach and train for a lifetime. "Have fun and check your macho attitude at the door." is very true.
One chapter that I particularly enjoyed was the "How to Fall on Concrete," chapter. Although the book itself focuses on strategies for surviving on the ground I found this chapter very important because it brings back the context of how to break-fall properly on concrete as oppose to training mats (tatami etc.). If you are being taken to the ground chances are you will be falling during the process, and you need to protect yourself. The chapter explains the differences between static sideways break-falls and traveling sideways break-falls.Read more ›
The book, written by a lifelong devotee and expert instructor of Can-Ryu Jiu-Jitsu, is written with the poise and authority of someone who is completely at ease with the subject matter. That said, the prose is neither preachy nor too technical. It is easy to read and understand and instructional details are reinforced with anecdote and statistics where necessary.
I can readily see the value of such a book for law enforcement/security personnel, however I think this tome has tremendous value for any who have ever experienced that nervous moment on the street or in a nightclub or bar, and I would recommend it to all who seek a little additional peace of mind for their evening forays. As an army officer in the CF Reserve, I have to say I will be recommending this book to all personnel in my regiment. Buy this book - the practical, easy-to-apply wisdom may one day save your life!!

Read the Sickle Cell Disease: NIH Program Advances Potential Treatment article »
The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections:
- Progression of Myelodysplastic Syndromes [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Complications [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Loss of Response to Nplate [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Laboratory Monitoring [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The data described below reflect Nplate exposure to 271 patients with chronic ITP, aged 18 to 88, of whom 62% were female. Nplate was studied in two randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind studies that were identical in design, with the exception that Study 1 evaluated nonsplenectomized patients with ITP and Study 2 evaluated splenectomized patients with ITP. Data are also reported from an open-label, single-arm study in which patients received Nplate over an extended period of time. Overall, Nplate was administered to 114 patients for at least 52 weeks and 53 patients for at least 96 weeks.
In the placebo-controlled studies, headache was the most commonly reported adverse drug reaction, occurring in 35% of patients receiving Nplate and 32% of patients receiving placebo. Headaches were usually of mild or moderate severity. Table 2 presents adverse drug reactions from Studies 1 and 2 with a ≥ 5% higher patient incidence in Nplate versus placebo. The majority of these adverse drug reactions were mild to moderate in severity.
Table 2: Adverse Drug Reactions Identified in Two
Placebo-Controlled Studies
|Preferred Term
(n = 84)
(n = 41)
|Pain in Extremity
|Abdominal Pain
|Shoulder Pain
Among 142 patients with chronic ITP who received Nplate in the single-arm extension study, the incidence rates of the adverse reactions occurred in a pattern similar to those reported in the placebo-controlled clinical studies.
Bone Marrow Reticulin Formation And Collagen Fibrosis
Nplate administration may increase the risk for development or progression of reticulin fiber formation within the bone marrow. This formation may improve upon discontinuation of Nplate. In a clinical trial, one patient with ITP and hemolytic anemia developed marrow fibrosis with collagen during Nplate therapy.
An open-label clinical trial prospectively evaluated changes in bone marrow reticulin formation and collagen fibrosis in adult patients with ITP treated with Nplate or a non-US approved romiplostim product. Patients were administered romiplostim by SC injection once weekly for up to 3 years. Based on cohort assignment at time of study enrollment, patients were evaluated for bone marrow reticulin and collagen at year 1 (cohort1), year 2 (cohort 2) or year 3 (cohort 3) in comparison to the baseline bone marrow at start of the trial. Patients were evaluated for bone marrow reticulin formation and collagen fibrosis using the modified Bauermeister grading scale. From the total of 169 patients enrolled in the 3 cohorts, 132 (78%) patients were evaluable for bone marrow collagen fibrosis, and 131 (78%) patients were evaluable for bone marrow reticulin formation. Two percent (2/132) of patients (both from cohort 3) developed grade 4 findings (presence of collagen). There was no detectable bone marrow collagen in one patient on repeat testing 12 weeks after discontinuation of romiplostim. Progression of bone marrow reticulin formation (increase greater than or equal to 2 grades or more) or an increase to Grade 4 (presence of collagen) was reported in 7% (9/131) of patients.
Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of Nplate. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
- Erythromelalgia
- Hypersensitivity
- Angioedema
As with all therapeutic proteins, patients may develop antibodies to the therapeutic protein. Patients were screened for immunogenicity to romiplostim using a BIAcore-based biosensor immunoassay. This assay is capable of detecting both high-and low-affinity binding antibodies that bind to romiplostim and cross-react with TPO. The samples from patients that tested positive for binding antibodies were further evaluated for neutralizing capacity using a cell-based bioassay.
In clinical studies in patients with ITP, the incidence of preexisting antibodies to romiplostim was 5% (53/1112) and the incidence of binding antibody development during treatment with Nplate or a non-US approved romiplostim product was 4% (50/1112). The incidence of preexisting antibodies to endogenous TPO was 4% (40/1112) and the incidence of binding antibody development to endogenous TPO during treatment was 3% (38/1112). Of the patients with positive binding antibodies that developed to romiplostim or to TPO, five patients had neutralizing activity to romiplostim and none had neutralizing activity to TPO. No apparent correlation was observed between antibod y activity and clinical effectiveness or safety.
A post marketing registry study involving patients with thrombocytopenia on Nplate or a non-US approved romiplostim product was conducted to assess the long-term consequences of the anti-romiplostim antibodies. Patients who lacked response or lost response to Nplate or a non-US approved romiplostim product were enrolled. The incidence of new binding antibody development was 3% (5/186) to romiplostim and 1% (2/186) to TPO. One patient was positive for binding antibodies to both romiplostim and TPO. Of the five patients with positive binding antibodies to romiplostim, two (1%) were positive for neutralizing antibodies to romiplostim only.
Immunogenicity assay results are highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay used in detection and may be influenced by several factors, including sample handling, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of incidence of antibodies to romiplostim with the incidence of antibodies to other products may be misleading.

Pandering (politics)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pandering is the act of expressing one's views in accordance with the likes of a group to which one is attempting to appeal. The term is most notably associated with politics. In pandering, the views one is expressing are merely for the purpose of drawing support up to and including votes and do not necessarily reflect one's personal values.
Pandering is essentially a reaction of panic in elected officials who must either tailor their views to public opinion or risk losing their existing or potential seat.[1]

Premiere Napa Valley Winery, Dyer Vineyard, Announces Good News for the 2016 Crop
Napa Valley, CA - July 15, 2016 - The Dyer Vineyard, a pioneering Napa Valley winery renowned for its excellent hand-crafted Cabernet Sauvignons, is very pleased to announce that the worst effects of the recent California droughts appear to be a thing of the past with 2016 looking to be a great year.
The 2015 drought made headlines around the world for the damage done to Napa Valley crops, coupled with unexpected frosts in May which caused further harm. The result was a greatly reduced crop throughout Napa Valley. 2016, however, is now looking to be a much better year for Dyer Vineyard.
Rainfall throughout the winter was back at normal levels, and unlike 2015, the spring frosts were moderate and caused virtually no damage to the crops. This brings a much sunnier outlook to the upcoming harvest.
Vine fruitfulness is looking positive as well, with most vines averaging two clusters per shoot, so very little extra pruning will be required to harvest excellent fruit. With current weather forecasts looking positive, and suggesting a "just right" mix of heat and water, things are definitely looking up for this Napa Valley winery.
Due to lingering effects of the past year, the 2016 harvest will likely not be a 'bumper crop' on par with 2014, but still far better than 2015. Those who love a great Cabernet Sauvignon have good things to look forward to later this year from Dyer Vineyard.

Napa Valley Winery, Dyer Straits Wine Company, Announces AVA Recognized Wine from The Diamond Mountain District
Napa Valley, California — June 16, 2016 - With its seasonal availability, Dyer Vineyard wine from Dyer Straits Wine Company is sought after by many wine aficionados. Grown in the Diamond Mountain District, the wine includes flavors that are distinct from other Napa Valley wineries. Dyer Vineyard is best known for its Cabernet Sauvignon Bordeaux-styled blend.
The 2013 blend is made of 82 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 13 percent Cabernet Franc, and 5 percent Petit Verdot. The dark wine has rich and powerful flavors including black fruit—more stone fruit than berry.
The Diamond Mountain District American Viticultural Area (AVA) has volcanic soil that helps the grapes tolerate more direct sunlight and less fog than nearby Napa Valley wineries. The porosity of the soil combined with the altitude of more than 400 feet above sea level enables it to quickly cool down, despite the sun exposure. In summer, daytime temperatures can exceed 100 degrees, while the mornings and evenings can be up to 40 degrees cooler.
These fluctuations in the weather are said to give the area's grapes much of their unique flavors. The warm daytime allows the grapes to fully ripen, while the cooler nighttime temperatures develop firm acidity. The intense tannin, color, and flavor result from the grapes' survival methods.
The Diamond Mountain District's name comes from the volcanic glass that the soil contains. Since the district is situated 40 miles east of the Pacific Ocean and 40 miles north of San Francisco Bay, both bodies of water have cooling influences on the land.
Dyer Vineyard has slightly more than 500 acres planted for wine—mostly for Cabernet Sauvignon—on the 5000 total acres of the Diamond Mountain District. The district was designated an AVA in 2001 after a dispute about the area's borders after its proposal in 1999.
Although the AVA was established somewhat recently, the area has been used for wine growing since 1868 by legendary Jacob Schram. He owned and planted 100 acres and by 1892 he began to age and stored wine in underground cellars. His name lives on among Napa Valley wineries with the well-known property, appropriately named, Schramsberg Vineyards.

Optimistic about 2016
We seem to have the drought behind us, at least for this season. Here are our vines in mid-May. They have been shoot thinned, leaving about 30 shoots per vine, which results in an open canopy of leaves without too much shading of the developing fruit. The remaining shoots have been tucked into the trellis wire, so that they grow upwards, and can grab onto the wires for support to prevent them from breaking off in the wind. Soon we will be through and pinch off any extra clusters—we only want two per shoot to ensure concentration in the wine (but this year there are very few shoots with more that two, so this will be a quick pass). Traditionally May 15 is considered the frost free date, and we seemed to have dodged the bullet this year for frost.
We go into each season with each vine carrying about 30 shoots and 60 clusters. So makes vintages different? It's the conditions that are to come over the next 4 to 5 months. We hope for Goldilocks conditions—not too much or too little of anything. We hope for mild days without too much drama. For example, our 2,000+ vines were in the early stages of bloom on May 21, when about one third of an inch of rain fell, which potentially might interfere with the pollination and fruit set. Only time will tell if this will affect the crop. But an early call would be that this rain, plus the relative lack of clusters (and fruitfulness is largely determined in the previous season) indicate that this season may be below average in yield. Time will tell.
What makes a great vintage? Take 2013 as an example
Winemakers tend to be "optimystics", which is probably a good thing as each year nature hands us a new season with its own set of challenges. When we get through a vintage, sometimes it is difficult to rein in our enthusiasm for what we produced often leading to some amusing pronouncements. Having said that, we are going to risk being fools, since having over 80 Napa Valley vintages between the two of us should count for something. The last time we were this excited about releasing a new vintage from Dyer Vineyard was 1996—well, because it was our first vintage from our own vineyard. This time, the excitement is in the wine itself. Nature sent us one right over the plate in the 2013 vintage. The wine has the combination of intensity and concentration that mark the best Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon vintages. It reminds Bill of the 1985 Sterling Reserve he made, which was delicious in the barrel, and remains so over 30 years later. And yes, that wine had a significant amount of Diamond Mountain fruit in the blend. We think 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will be viewed as one of the very collectable vintages that seem to come one or twice a decade (before 1985, maybe 1974 was of the same caliber)? We made an even dozen barrels of this wine, with 290 cases bottled.
High spring water in Diamond Creek - great start to the growing season
Finally, Diamond Creek is flowing again- and the start to a new growing season is promising! After a very dry February, we received 15" of rain in March. Budbreak took place the week of the 21st- early, but about the same as last year. This potentially sets us up for another early harvest, but now at least we have plenty of soil moisture going into the Spring-- which the vines need in order to grow canes- they'll grow about 1 meter over the next couple of months. We hear Diamond Creek roaring these days as it flows between Dyer Vineyard and the famous winery to which it lends its name, is roaring today. (Probably hard to read in the photo here, but the year 1885 on the bridge shows there were people making wine in the neighborhood way back then). Stay tuned for updates as we progress through the 2016 Vintage in the Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley.
