When Peter met Miles
By Darknom2 11 Comments
"For the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man, what everyone was looking for was a Spider-Man story that mattered. Well, here you go." Brian Michael Bendis
Peter Parker (616) is going to meet Miles Morales (1610) in a new upcoming five-issue miniseries.
"Ultimate Comics Spider-Man" writer Brian Michael Bendis, who with artist Sarah Pichelli introduced the world to Morales, the new African American-Latino Spider-Man after the death of Ultimate Spider-Man (1610 Peter) are going to be the creative team
"Someone had once said to me, 'When I was a Kid, I could only play Spider-Man, I couldn't play Batman or Superman because my friends would say you're not the same color, but I could play Spider-Man because when I fantasized about Spider-Man, he looked like me under the mask,'" Bendis continued. "That was a big inspiration."
"Spider-Men," by Bendis and Pichelli, debuts in July.
Oh...and there's that - the two universes will not cross over as that would signify that Marvel had "officially run out of ideas". Joe Quesada

Good thread,
As stated much of the problem does rest on the shoulders of the OL. We are on track to give up 55+ sacks, again. I don't even want to know how many knock downs and hurries Hill is enduring but lets assume half the time he is under pressure. OL has to step up.
Hill is not the long term answer. He cannot throw the out or side line pass. As we all know the width of a football field is 53 1/3 yards. If he is on the left hash throwing to the right sideline that is a 28-32 yard pass he cannot make that pass without the CB knocking the ball down or picking it off this is a huge problem. Hill does fine on the 20-25 yard pass down the middle. His accuracy is good but his arm strength is horrible. He has to throw a rainbow or duck to get it deep down the field giving the secondary a chance to recover. Teams are learning that they only need to worry about covering the middle and 20-25 yards deep.
Again we are suffering through an offense learning a new system. Raye is just now figuring out what his personnel can do and what plays tend to work. Let's pray he expands the play book now that he has had some time with the offense in game situations. At times I have moments of Déjà vu and I am watching Hostler all over again run on first down, run on second down, pass on 3rd and 6, bring in punt team. I am not happy with Raye and wish that Sing had not scared Lineham away with his rhetoric about smash mouth football. I think he could have done a lot for this team. Look at what he has accomplished in Detroit and they don't have near the talent we do

AUTHOR: Sunta - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, April 23, 2012POSTED: Monday, April 23, 2012
Thank you for your note. I will follow your request and call the customer service satisfaction manager. However, since you refuse to give even a rough timeline as to when my complaint will be resolved, I am not sure what that person can do for me. As I explained to your representative on the phone, I am not seeking a refund, rather, I am seeking the fulfillment of a commitment and a promise, that I paid for and which is in writing and is, therefore, a contract. Since Dealfind seems quite unaware as to the correct way for your customer service people to respond, I am happy to teach you how you should respond, which would be thusly:
"We are so very sorry that the salon has refused to honor the voucher you purchased. We realize that you purchased something and that the salon promised, in writing, to provide that service in exchange for the money you paid, and that that has created a written contract with them that they are, in fact, duty-bound to fulfill. We will contact them immediately and will get back to you within 24 hours."
Dealfind, do you really think I care about the $34 I paid for this voucher? I really don't. What I care about is ethics that we, as a society, seem to be forgetting. It's not a matter of money. It is a matter of principle. Is there anyone left who understands that concept? When you say you're going to do something, you do it. When you promise something, you keep the promise. When people and companies promise something and then simply change their mind and do whatever they feel like, it is not sustainable, and that behavior will eventually lead to the ultimate collapse of a working society.
So, I will call the customer service manager, but unless they give me the response I'm looking for, which is, in fact, the only proper response, I will remain dreadfully unhappy, not only for myself, but for our future.

Hi Linda,
I didn't know of your Bauguess's. I didn't know that they exsisted until I started doing genealogy in 1998. I found Jason Duncon and he interduced me to my whole family of Bauguess's and Pruitts and all the others. He has pictures of almost all of them. That is where I got my picture. If you don't know about him just put his name in google and he will pop up. His grandmother was Doris Bauguess and that was his start. Very smart man and kind.
If you want to keep in touch my email is

Isn't it wonderful to share information that only you know. My Dad was William Albert Bawgus. They changed the spelling some time about when they moved to Tennessee. His family in Wilkes was Bauguess.
Thanks so much for remembering that for me. All my siblings are dead and I try to tell there kids as much as I can remember.

Hi - I have been unable to photo any other Saltsgaver headstones. My research from Ancestry.com records Gasper pd taxes earliest 1816 then Peter, Frederick, Jacob and Casper. The headstones were made by the same person out of a stone that deteriorates - a couple of those stones are unrecognizable and face down in the dirt. Would you care for a photo of the area where I located them? Since the family settled in Buffalo Twnshp, Guernsey Cty, Senecaville have you checked other cemeteries? I'll be leaving Ohio in a couple of weeks, please let me know your wish quickly and I'll snap a photo. Thanks

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
This command will generate "CHECK TABLE `db_name.table_name` ;" statements for all tables present in databases on a MySQL server, which can be piped into the mysql command. (Can also be altered to perform OPTIMIZE and REPAIR functions.)
Tested on MySQL 4.x and 5.x systems in a Linux environment under bash.
Busiest seconds:
cat /var/log/secure.log | awk '{print substr($0,0,15)}' | uniq -c | sort -nr | awk '{printf("\n%s ",$0) ; for (i = 0; i<$1 ; i++) {printf("*")};}'
This prints a summary of your referers from your logs as long as they occurred a certain number of times (in this case 500). The grep command excludes the terms, I add this in to remove results Im not interested in.
This command might not be useful for most of us, I just wanted to share it to show power of command line.
Download simple text version of novel David Copperfield from Poject Gutenberg and then generate a single column of words after which occurences of each word is counted by sort | uniq -c combination.
This command removes numbers and single characters from count. I'm sure you can write a shorter version.
Written for linux, the real example is how to produce ascii text graphs based on a numeric value (anything where uniq -c is useful is a good candidate).
This command puts all the flags of the USE variable actually used by the packages you emerged to the file "use", and those which are unused but available to the file "notuse"
Linux : these script enable you to edit multiple files and remove exact phrase from multiple files
It will return a ranked list of your most commonly-entered commands using your command history
Searches /var/log/secure for smtp connections then lists these by number of connections made and hosts.
Searches the /var/log/secure log file for Failed and/or invalid user log in attempts.
Here is a command line to run on your server if you think your server is under attack. It prints our a list of open connections to your server and sorts them by amount.
BSD Version:
netstat -na |awk '{print $5}' |cut -d "." -f1,2,3,4 |sort |uniq -c |sort -nr
Displays the duplicated lines in a file and their occuring frequency.
This command checks for the number of times when someone has tried to login to your server and failed. If there are a lot, then that user is being targeted on your system and you might want to make sure that user either has remote logins disabled, or has a strong password, or both. If your output has an "invalid" line, it is a summary of all logins from users that don't exist on your system.
I think I could cut down the number of pipes here, any suggestions?
Useful to check DDoS attacks on servers.

IFA hails new powers for Credit Unions
- Credit union crackdown blocks Tower View
- Advisers accuse FSA of interfering with market
- FSCS acts after credit union goes bust
More on UK Regulation
He said: "This could be an exceptionally good thing for customers. There needs to be more competition to banks and credit unions can now provide this.
"They offer services banks don't get involved in and will give people a greater degree of choice in the marketplace."
His comments came after amendments to the Credit Unions Act, which became law on Sunday 8 January, meant these institutions are now free to provide services to new groups of customers and offer different types of products and partnerships.
Mark Lyonette, chief executive of the Association of British Credit Unions, said: "Credit unions will be able to reach many more people, helping them to develop a savings habit, which can only be good for communities."
Previous restrictions meant those eligible to join a credit union had to be individuals with something in common. Now, credit unions can extend their reach to organisations such as housing providers, community groups, businesses, partnerships and charities.
They can also offer membership to employees of a national company or tenants of a housing association, even if they live outside a geographical area that the credit union services.
Restrictions have also been removed so credit unions can pay interest instead of dividends on savings, making it easier for people to compare the rates of return from credit unions with other high street savings providers.
The news came as the Financial Services Compensation Scheme announced the bailout of Handsworth Breakthrough Credit Union, which went into default on 5 January 2011. It has 365 members with accounts totalling some £206,000.

In a luxury summit in Monte Carlo, LVMH chairman and chief executive Bernard Arnault said he was okay with Internet. That's right, fellow bloggers and web-heads, he likes us, he really likes us. "I don't want to stop the Internet, I want to use it efficiently, to develop growth of brands, but in a safe way," he said. He also said that despite its being used to sell counterfeit products, the web is good for reaching younger customers. [WWD]

Hi. I had the plugin up and running and it works great! Love it!
Just one thing... I'm running it on a BuddyPress site and the WordPress users that are registered with this plugin don't show up in the BuddyPress members section... :(
Any idea how to sync these?
Otherwise I have to switch to some other plugin....
Thank you very much in advance!

SCIENCE: Alzheimer's brain cells grown in a lab dish could model disease
In a biomedical first, brain cells from Alzheimer's patients have been grown in a highly purified form by San Diego and international scientists, producing models of the disease suitable for research and testing treatments for the neurodegenerative disease.
Results were published in the scientific journal Nature online Wednesday, and an accompanying news article in Nature said the research "shows promise.". Researchers took part from UCSD, the Salk Institute, The Scripps Research Institute and BD Biosciences, all in La Jolla. Other researchers work at institutes in Slovakia, Finland and the Netherlands.
The cells were produced from the patients' own skin cells using induced pluripotent stem cell , or iPSC technology. These are cells were regressed to become like human embryonic stem cells. The iPSC cells were then coaxed into developing into neurons, said Lawrence Goldstein, a UC San Diego stem cell scientist who led the research.
While iPSC cells have been turned into Alzheimers' neurons before, Goldstein said his team was the first to produced highly purified cultures of these cells in a lab dish. The cells were grown both from those with a rare early-onset form of Alzheimer's and the more common "sporadic" variety, which can't be attributed to any specific genetic abnormality.
The cells also exhibited biochemical changes linked to Alzheimer's, further indicating they could be useful as disease models. With $5 million to $10 million, Goldstein said he could screen potential drugs with these cells to find safe and effective drugs for the disease.
There is no now effective treatment for Alzheimer's a neurodegenerative disease that progressively robs people of memory, the ability to think, and eventually their lives. Alzheimer's is unique in being a major cause of death that is rapidly increasing in the United States.
Alzheimer's is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Between 2000 and 2008, deaths from HIV fell 29 percent, deaths from stroke by 20 percent and deaths from heart disease by 13 percent. Deaths from Alzheimer's skyrocketed 66 percent.
As of 2011, 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer's. The cost of their care has reached $183 billion, according to the association.
Funding for this research came, in part, from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the Weatherstone Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Hartwell Foundation, the Lookout Fund and the McDonnell Foundation.
UCSD has filed a patent application on this technology . For more information, go to: http://techtransfer.universityofcalifornia.edu/NCD/22199.html

Grigor Dimitrov puts his body on the line to beat world number one Novak Djokovic (AFP)
It was an absolutely massive performance from Grigor Dimitrov to beat Novak Djokovic in Madrid, that's for sure.
Dimitrov is over-burdened with talent and it has, in the past, affected his attitude towards the sport. His talent was taking him to quite exotic places, and he was not having to work too hard in the process.
When he split from coach Peter McNamara last year, I was worried for Grigor as I was not sure what his work ethic would be like without him. Tennis is mostly about physicality these days – Djokovic, Andy Murray and Rafa Nadal are all physical freaks.
Thankfully for Dimitrov he joined up with Magnus Norman, who was also very much a physical player and as a coach operates very much as a slave-driver. That difference showed in his work ethic in beating Novak.
When he was cramping up, he just kept barging on through. And though Djokovic was suffering a bit with his ankle, I don't think it was any more of a hindrance than Dimitrov's cramp.
In some ways the win was Dimitrov's arrival but for me, it was merely another step in that direction. The question now, of course, is can he push through on talent and willpower alone over five sets.
He has just come off the best clay performance of his career against Nadal in Monte Carlo, and though I see Dimitrov as a future top-five player, there is one more step to go in doing that at a Grand Slam.
This year's French Open, unfortunately, is too soon for that if you ask me. I think Dimitrov will need another year, perhaps a little more, to make a true impact over five sets.
It's a huge step on a steep upward curve for him to make a splash at Roland Garros in 2013, but I really would be surprised if the Bulgarian is not in the ATP top five down the line.
One thing that may help him get it done sooner rather than later is the sheer momentum from the Nadal and Djokovic performances. You never know: he was in tears after Tuesday's win and those emotions could propel him to a very fast rise.
He appears to be as talented as the likes of Murray, and between that and his freakish physical strength Dimitrov should become a household name just like the Brit, like Djokovic, like Nadal and Roger Federer, at some stage.
Of course, it's down to Grigor to convert his potential but he is with the right people, at least.

Bringing truth to the people of Kent
Hello all members.
It's been a great year for the Kent Freedom Movement. We thought we would give members a quick synopsis of the Year 2011 and also let members know of our events etc planned for 2012.
The year started off with what turned out to be our last event at The Prince Albert pub. The chance to hear Veronica of the Chapman Family give a presentation for the KFM. This drew a large crowd that even Veronica commented "I was not expecting this many people" and she also commented that she was "overwhelmed". We are pleased to announce that Veronica has agreed to do another presentation for the KFM in the new year.
It was clear that the KFM needed a bigger venue and with this in mind we moved to The Three Daws Riverside Inn. We had now secured a bigger and better venue to host future events that would be more comfortable for our members while giving our guest speakers a stage to themselves.
February we had an informal meeting to showcase our new venue and banner. More importantly decide on future strategies to move things forward.
In March we hosted Jon Witterick from get out of debt free. This was another full house and a great event. Jon is such a nice bloke with a genuine desire to help people.His presentation was fantastic and everybody had a memorable evening.
I'm also pleased to announce that Ceylon who is John's right hand man at get out of debt free will be doing a presentation for the KFM in February. Check website for all forthcoming events.
In April we hosted Author Nick Kollerstrom, who also hosts the website terror on the tube (see groups). Nick has subsequently became a firm favourite with lots of members of the KFM. He also very graciously hosted our September meeting at very short notice.
In May we hosted "The Spaniard". This was a great night and gave members the chance to pick the brains of one of the most erudite people in the freeman community.
May also saw the KFM support Muad'Dib at his trial at Southwark Crown Court. He was rightly found not guilty by a jury with common sense, who could see his intentions were honourable. This probably explains why they want to get rid of him.
In June the KFM hosted Brian Gerrish the Editor of the UK Column and the founder of the website Exposing Common Purpose. Brian is a well known figure in the "Truth" movement and this was reflected by the full house that night. Brian himself commented "You always know when it's been a great night when nobody wants to leave". We were all politely asked to go home at 1am.
June unfortunately saw the passing away of long term peace campaigner Brian Haw.
A remarkable man who will never be forgotten.
In July we hosted Muad'Dib the maker and producer of the film 7/7 Ripple Effect. This came a month after his trial at Southwark Crown Court for the "crime" of trying to pervert the course of Justice (sic). This was the State's way of vindictively getting back at somebody who has probably explained what really happened on that awful day. The KFM only had 6 days from Muad'Dib agreeing to do the presentation till the day of the event itself. Lots of members excelled themselves and got the message out far and wide. This ensured another full house and gave KFM members a chance to hear Muad'Dibs only live talk in Britain.
August was our annual music/social event. We had a surprise guest in Tony Farrell who gave a brief talk about his forthcoming Tribunal in Sheffield.
In September we had a meeting and this was hosted by Author Nick Kollerstrom. Again this was to discuss future strategies for the KFM. See blog for full minutes of September's meeting.
In September the KFM traveled to Sheffield to support Tony Farrell at his Tribunal. When a senior intelligence analyst for the Police starts to question events and realise it does not add up, you know we are all making progress.
In October we were due to host Kevin Annett. However Kevin had been deported by the State earlier in the year and his position was not 100% clear whether he could possible suffer the same fate again. With this in mind Kevin decided not to travel to Britain. Instead we decided to show Kevin's award winning film Unrepentant.
Kevin is now a member of the Kent Freedom Movement and it is honour to have such a man as a member.
In October many members went to the High Courts of Justice (don't laugh) to support Hollie Greig. The many KFM members (some of whom booked the day off work) who turned up at the event really did us proud.
November saw the first of 2 events.
On 3rd November the KFM hosted the World Exclusive showing of Muad'Dibs new film "The Nazi Bankster's Crimes-Ripple Effect.This must see film gives the real horrific story of who has been controlling world events for too long now. Muad'Dib concludes by asking people to take back our Country, peacefully. See events for full details.
On the 24th November the KFM were proud to host Bill Maloney from Pie and Mash films.
Bill gave an account of the admirable work of Pie and Mash films, while giving members an insight into his own life and what motivated him to do the work he has done.
Bill Maloney is now running as a candidate for Mayor of London. The KFM fully support him.
So that's a brief account of 2011, so what does 2012 hold in store for the Kent Freedom Movement?
2012 will see the KFM go from strength to strength. Thanks to the endeavors of many people we have many great speakers lined up to give members memorable nights to look forward to.
In fact to accommodate them all from February we will be holding two events a month. Your continued support is vital and much appreciated.
Some names will be familiar to you all and some maybe not so much. One thing they all have in common is a heartfelt desire to make as many people as possible aware of what is really going on.
The first speaker of 2012 will be Brian Leslie of the website Money Myths. The current "economic crises" is all contrived by those at the top and is designed to force people to accept a one world currency. It does not have to be like this. Unfortunately the Public are not educated on economics and this lets the few control the many. Brian Leslie has studied economics for 30 years and has a coherent solution that would make life better and fairer for everyone if this was widely understood and implemented. The Kent Freedom Movement are acutely aware of this and aim to help spread awareness of this most important issue. So please show your support on the 26th January and attend the first event of 2012. Please see events on website for full details.
You may have noticed that the Kent Freedom Movement has started to charge a small admission fee of £3. We did this because we thought it was the fairest way for all who can to contribute and help the KFM grow. The unemployed and oap's are exempt as we want this information available to everybody and do not want to exclude anybody.
Rest assured every spare penny left over from paying all costs are plowed back into helping the KFM. So we are pleased to announce that we have purchased a brand new P.A system. This will hopefully be delivered in time for Brian Leslie's talk on Thursday.
We were also donated a projector by Muad Dib for which we are extremely grateful for.
This means we are now in a position where the KFM has all it's own equipment to host events.
At this point I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the people who have helped the KFM with equipment to hold our previous events. So Marcus and Jez thank you very much and a special word of thanks to Mark Windows from the website Land of the free (see groups) who has gone out of his way on many occasions to help us.
If any members have idea's for speakers or issue's they feel the KFM should be involved in, please let us know.
I'd like to wish all members a happy 2012 and thank you all for your continued support.
Kent Freedom Movement.

text: Posted November 25, 2012 I am far from a Camwagoner I criticize him quite often, however he has not been put in the position to succeed who is to say if given the opportunity to run a pro style set he wouldn't succeed? He clearly operates better under center in normal formations than he does in the gimmick offense, I find it funny that you keep using Kaepernick as an example seeing as he played in a QB rushing offense becoming the first college QB to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 three seasons in a row, not to mention you want to crown him after one game. Do us all a favor GTFA! Welcome back to the block list, I'm sure you will be joining many others soon. And I hope you realize that is still an opinion. In fact most of your post is backed up by nothing but your opinion. Clearly better? Where is it clear? In my opinion, having a taylor made offense to suit your style, is being placed in a position to succeed. I'm not using Colin as an example or some measuring stick. I simply responded to someone who said Colin was" Cam Newton light" and I pointed that is ridiculous and listed out areas where that is not at all the case. Go back and read it again, if you need to. But you see, your opinion and my opinion cancels themselves out, and what you are left with at the end, are some hard to ignore stats and facts. He's at the bottom of just about every single category the NFL uses to grade and rate quarterbacks. And that is NOT an opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrazas Expects Tough Battle With Mijares, Eyes Donaire
By Rene Umanzor
The silver super bantamweight world champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC), Victor Terrazas (36-2-1, 21KOs), says the moment has come to make the leap to become the absolute champion of the division, but he is aware that it will not be an easy task - because he has to overcome Cristian Mijares (47-6-2, 22KOs).
The Mexican boxers will battle for the vacant WBC title on April 20th in Mexico City. The belt was vacated by Abner Mares.
"Cristian Mijares has done a lot, he was world champion - but now it's my turn and I will prove it in the ring. I am the silver championr and I will be the absolute world champion soon," he said.
"Now I have to face Mijares and I have to be at my best. I feel very good, very happy because [this opportunity] recognizes my efforts and my work. I am on the verge of my main goal."
If Terrazas gets past Mijares, he hopes to get a crack at Nonito Donaire in the near future.
"I know that Nonito Donaire is a strong and fast fighter but I hope that I be given the opportunity and I assure you it would be a great fight," Terrazas said.
Rene Umanzor covers boxing in Mexico for The Record.
Mijares by motherf[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]cking knock out! wooooowoooComment by UTEP on 03-07-2013
Hell yea! After this fight Mijares will be 20-0 at super bantamweight.Comment by simonihirst on 03-07-2013
I find it hard to rate Terrazas after watching him live against Munroe. He looked half decent, but Munroe looked very comfortable with him and then i think what Nishioka did to Munroe, then what Donaire did to Nishioka, makes…Comment by TangInaMo Floyd on 03-07-2013
Nope! It's gonna be Donaire vs Mijares:boxing:Post a Comment - View More User Comments (4)

F.D.A. Orders Stronger Warning on Common Painkiller-Sedative Mix
August 31, 2016
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are medical techniques that help couples conceive. These procedures involve either:
Fertilization may occur either in the laboratory or in the uterus. In the U.S., the number of live birth deliveries from ART has dramatically increased in the last decade. Nearly 40,000 live births (deliveries of one or more infants) occur in the U.S. each year using assisted reproductive technologies.
Technically, the term ART refers only to fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and its variants, which handle both egg and sperm.
Artificial insemination (AI) involves placing the sperm directly in the cervix (called intracervical insemination) or into the uterus (called intrauterine insemination, or IUI).
IUI is the standard AI procedure. It involves placing washed sperm into the woman's uterine cavity through a long, thin catheter. The procedure is performed when a woman is ovulating and is used for patients whose tubes are not blocked from endometriosis or scarring.
IUI is the least complex and least expensive of fertility procedures and is often tried first in uncomplicated cases of infertility. However, recent studies indicate that IUI combined with fertility injections poses a greater risk for multiple births and has a lower rate of pregnancy success than IVF.
For these reasons, some doctors now suggest that women skip the gonadotropin-stimulating injection step, and that couples who fail to conceive after three cycles of IUI combined with clomiphene pills proceed directly to IVF.
Most assisted reproductive technologies procedures use in vitro fertilization (IVF). An in vitro procedure is one that is performed in the laboratory. Advances in these procedures have dramatically increased the rate of live births. IVF can be performed with a woman's own eggs and sperm, or with donor eggs and sperm.
In the past, IVF was used mainly to treat women with damaged fallopian tubes. It is now used as a fertility treatment for cases when the woman has endometriosis, the man has fertility problems, or the cause of a couple's infertility is unexplained.
A standard IVF cycle is divided into the following steps:
Other IVF Procedures . About 1 - 2% of IVF procedures use adaptations called gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) and zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT), which transfers the gametes (egg and sperm) into a women's fallopian tube rather than her uterus. In GIFT, the egg is harvested as with IVF and mixed with sperm, and is then injected into the woman's fallopian tube where fertilization occurs. In ZIFT, the egg is fertilized with sperm in the laboratory before being transferred to the fallopian tube. For GIFT and ZIFT a woman must have at least one functioning fallopian tube.
Success Rates . Not all IVF cycles result in pregnancy, and not all IVF-achieved pregnancies result in live births. According to the most recent statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 34% of ART cycles (mostly IVF) led to pregnancy, but only 28% resulted in a live birth of one or more babies. Success rates provided by fertility clinics are not always a reliable indicator as they depend on many variables, including the age of the patients.
Data indicate that the chances of IVF resulting in live birth are about:
Some women try acupuncture during an IVF cycle to increase their chances for pregnancy success. While acupuncture is not harmful, there is no conclusive evidence that it boosts success rates.
Complications . Data have been conflicting on whether IVF increases the risk for genetic abnormalities and birth defects. In general, the overall risks for birth defects appear to be small.
The main risk of IVF is the consequences of multiple pregnancies. Multiple pregnancies increase the risks for a mother and her babies. In particular, there is increased risk for premature delivery and low birth weight. These factors can cause heart and lung problems and developmental disabilities in children.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an assisted reproductive technology used for couples when male infertility is the main problem. It involves injecting a single sperm into an egg obtained from in vitro fertilization (IVF). The procedure is very simple:
The greatest concern with this procedure has been whether it increases the risk for birth defects. Many, but not all, studies have reported no higher risks of birth defects in children born using ICSI procedures. However, if the father's infertility was due to genetic issues, this genetic defect may be passed on to male children conceived through ICSI.
Another concern has been whether the ICSI procedure is being overused. ICSI use has increased 5-fold over the past decade, even though the proportion of men receiving treatment for male infertility has remained the same. Some doctors recommend ICSI for women who have failed prior IVF attempts or who have few or poor-quality eggs, even if their male partners have normal semen measurements. According to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, there is little evidence that ICSI helps improve pregnancy success for couples who do not have a problem with male factor infertility.

One of the most prohibitive aspects of the bootcamp training, other than the illegible text books and unqualified instructor, is involve the exam preparation and test taking strategy. By doing the test preparation in a class like this is extremely important because in order to the pass the actual exam, students need to be practiced on how to tackle the type of exam questions. On the 2nd day afternoon, we found out this so called "test preparation" session is by using ISACAs official test database CD and on a projector to simulated the practice tests. This is not only violated the ISACAs copyrights policy but after the students found out about the database CD can be purchased from ISACA website (which the instructor mentioned in the class), more half of the class decided to stop showing up for these so called practice exam sessions.
Right after the training I emailed directly to Infosec Institute and left several phone messages with specifics on the failure to deliver the class as advertised by seeking proper compensation but never heard back a word. Infosec Institue decided to ignore my good faith in attempt to resolve the issue and they refuse to made any attempts to correct the failures of the class. I hope others will exercise great caution to pursue any training classes with this organization.

Chiefland Fire Rescue Chief James Harris came in for praise from the Chiefland City Commission which approved a new contract for him and a pay increase from $52,713.60 to $53,767.87 by a 4-0 vote with Mayor Teal Pomeroy absent.
In the special meeting to evaluate Harris, Commissioner Teresa Barron said, "You have done really well this year. And I appreciate that we have a local person here who understands the needs."
Commissioner Rollin Hudson praised Harris for living in the city and for his ability to attract grant money for the department.
Last week, three Fanning Springs council members pleaded no contest to Sunshine Law violations.
As the court proceedings came to a close those council members — Barbara Locke, Jane Nogaki and Ron Queen — were finally able to speak out and the details of the meeting in question have come to light.
"I thought I was doing the right thing by my constituents, trying to do a good budget for the city," Queen said of the conversation that took place directly before the Sept. 21, 2015, budget meeting around 4:35.
We apologize for the lateness of this posting of the agendas. We did not have the right ones on Friday when we usually post.
The Chiefland City Commission meets on Monday, Feb. 8, in City Hall on East Park Avenue.
The Commission meets at 5:45 for the annual evaluation of the fire chief, then in regular session at 6 p.m. and following the regular meeting, the city commission — sitting as the planning board, will meet.
The Florida Highway Patrol is notifying residents of Levy County that a planned Prescribed Forest Burn will begin Wednesday, Feb. 9 and continue through Friday, Feb. 12.
Due to this burn several roadways near Goethe State Forest will be closed. The following roadways are expected to be closed beginning Tuesday morning: State Road 121, Levy County Road 337 and Levy County Road 326.

Some of my huntin' buddies and I really live for being out in a wet patch of woods in the middle of a cool night and hearing the not-so-distant sounds of our coon hounds when they open up on a hot trail.
There's just something about those hounds' voices that sounds both pleasing and eerie at the same time.
We like to brag about whose dog actually struck the trail first and whose got to the right tree first.
It was a regular day for county employees, what some even called a slow day, but a day unlikely to be forgotten by the people whose calls for assistance were answered.
Three Fanning Springs council members who were charged with violating the sunshine law have pleaded no contest.
Charges against Barbara Locke, Jane Nogaki and Ron Queen were filed with the Levy County Clerk's Office on Jan. 26. The arraignment date was changed from Feb. 16 to Tuesday, Feb. 2.
On April 19, 2015, the thousands of nests on Seahorse Key were occupied and the sounds of birds filled the air. Those feeding their broods brought in fish, some of which drooped from nests to be devoured by the cottonmouths that live below.
"They are very sloppy and they are a food source, a very large source of food for the cottonmouth which eats marine fish," said Coleman M. Sheehy III, a researcher on the island since 2001. "The important thing is they eat the fish, not the birds."
On April 21 Seahorse Key was quiet. No birds.
Students at Chiefland Elementary School concluded their celebration of literacy week with a parade of literary characters and vocabulary words.
Throughout the day on Friday, Jan. 29, grade levels kindergarten through second grade students, who dressed up as their favorite literary character, paraded their outfits around the track or courts at the physical education area. Grade levels third through fifth made posters and dressed up to illustrate a vocabulary word. Each class participated in their grade level's parade during their recess time.
Manatees are found in many of Florida's waterways and can be difficult to see, especially when you travel in a boat on the water.
You may see a swirl on the surface caused by the manatee when it dives; see an animal's back, snout, tail, or flipper break the surface of the water; or you may only hear the manatee when it surfaces to breathe (as shown here). In all of these instances, keeping your distance and passive observation are the best ways to view manatees.

Ella Enchanted
by Gail Carson Levine
Analysis: What's Up With the Title?
Ella Enchanted follows the grand tradition of naming books after the main character (think Jane Eyre and Oliver Twist).
However, since it's not just called "Ella," we have to assume that the "Enchanted" portion of the title is also significant. Why might that be?
Oh, hang on, we've got this one: because the spell on Ella is one of the main determining factors in how her life goes. For one thing, it makes her into a rebel, since she feels like she's gotta fight against every command she's given or else be a total puppet.
The "Enchanted" stuff really impacts Ella when the narrative kicks off and her life gets unsettled. Up until her mother's death, she lives a relatively sheltered life and doesn't come into contact with many people who might learn about or abuse her curse. But after her mother's death, everything changes: she meets repulsive characters like Dame Olga and Hattie, who use the spell to oppress her, while she also encounters wonderful people like Char and various people from magical races.
In dealing with the "Enchanted" part of her life—which requires rising about her stepfamily's petty crap and putting others before herself—Ella proves her strength and compassion again and again. So, the "Enchanted" part of her life makes her stronger, even though it also makes her suffer. In other words—it makes her grow up.

Richmond Renters File Initiative for an Affordable and Fair City
Rent Control Ordinance Could Appear on November 2016 Ballot
Press Contact:
Gabriella Miroglio
Feb. 24, 2016
Richmond – Today, led by Richmond City Council Member Gayle
McLaughlin, Fair and Affordable Richmond, a coalition of renters,
labor and homeowners, requested from the City Clerk, title and summary
for a potential November 2016 ballot measure. The ballot measure, if
approved, would protect Richmond renters from being evicted without
just cause and establish rent control.
Ms. McLaughlin explains, "The renters of Richmond deserve protection
during the current housing crisis, and our coalition believes voters
this November should be able to take a stand on the subject of just
cause evictions and rent control."
The proposed ballot measure would establish a rent board that would
set annual limits on rent increases for the City of Richmond, as well
as provide a process for tenants to appeal rent increases. Richmond
renters, living in units built before 1995, would be protected from
outrageous increases in rent and evictions for reasons that are
without cause.
A recent poll commissioned by Fair and Affordable Richmond shows that
nearly two thirds of voters would vote today to enact rent control and
just cause eviction protections. Richmond voters understood that
similar limits on evictions and unreasonable rent increases have
helped to prevent thousands of middle-class and low-income people from
losing their homes, making communities safer and more stable for
everyone, and they think the City of Richmond should have such
'The Bay Area housing crisis has already begun to hurt Richmond, and
it's effects will only get worse. Richmond residents have spoken, and
Fair and Affordable Richmond is working to give those residents a
chance to better Richmond by voting for just cause eviction protection
and rent control," said Edith Pastrano, a Richmond renter and member
of the Fair and Affordable Richmond Coalition.
City Council passed rent control last year, but was forced to overturn
after a successful legal challenge on behalf of the city's landlords.
Fair and Affordable Richmond believes it is time for the voters of
Richmond to have their chance to vote on just cause eviction and rent

#Homes For All Partner Group Nobody Leaves-Mid Hudson announced a major victory in the campaign against utility giant Central Hudson on Wednesday January 13, 2016!
From Jonathan, the Executive Director at Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson:
The New York Public Service Commission has announced it will be conducting an investigation into Central Hudson based on Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson's legal petition!
We applaud the Public Service Commission's decision to launch an investigation into Central Hudson's collection practices. We believe it's time to shine a light on Central Hudson's misconduct.
The Public Service Commission wrote a letter to Central Hudson on December 29th, announcing it will be investigating the issues brought to light by Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson. These include unlawful debt transferring, failure to negotiate payment agreements in good faith, failure to follow shutoff procedures, and racial discrimination in collection practices.
The letter emphasized that "the investigation is expected to include, without limitation, a review of pertinent Central Hudson documentation." To ensure that this "investigation can proceed unimpeded," the letter ordered Central Hudson to make available all relevant records. The full text of the letter is below.
This decision comes after many months of research into consumer violations and racial inequality, our members speaking up for their rights, a courageous letter sent to us by a whistleblower at Central Hudson, and a productive meeting with the Public Service Commission's staff. Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson submitted a legal petition for an investigation on December 21st.
This type of investigation is rare. That it is taking place is a reflection of the courage and efforts of our members, and the seriousness of the issues raised.
Full text of the Public Service Commission's letter to Central Hudson:
Paul A. Colbert
Associate General Counsel – Regulatory Affairs
Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation
Re: Case 15-M-0756, Complaint of Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson Against Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation Concerning Collection Practices
Dear Mr. Colbert,
As you are undoubtedly aware, on December 21, 2015, the organization Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson filed a petition seeking an investigation of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's (Central Hudson) collection practices. The petition alleges the following: (a) Central Hudson's transferring of unlawful debts to parties that are not legally responsible for them, (b) Central Hudson's lack of consistency in negotiating in good faith on Deferred Payment Agreements (DPAs), (c) Central Hudson's failure to follow required shut-off procedures, especially in cases of medical conditions substantiated by a doctor's note, and (d) Racial discrimination in Central Hudson's collection practices.
The Department and the Commission will be conducting an investigation into the issues raised in the petition. That investigation is expected to include, without limitation, a review of pertinent Central Hudson documentation. In order to assure that this investigation can proceed unimpeded, it is imperative that pertinent documentation pertaining to HEFPA, transfer of debts, DPAs, shut-off procedures and/or collection practices; including but not limited to: all training materials; records of any communications, including emails, paper documents, recordings or electronic records, between employees; records of any communications between employees and members of the public, including emails, paper documents, recordings or electronic records, regarding complaints, inquiries or other contacts with customers or other members of the public, including organizations; and other relevant records remain available for the Department's review.
By this letter, Central Hudson is on notice that it must take all steps necessary to ensure that it preserves all such documents and/or electronically stored information that Central Hudson, its corporate parents, subsidiaries and/or affiliates have in their possession, custody or control during the pendency of this investigation. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

Originally published in Radio Boston.
Part one of our special four-part series, "Evictions in East Boston."
We've had a number of conversations on Radio Boston about the city's housing crisis, but one aspect of the situation that doesn't get much attention is the evictions. Many long-term tenants in Boston's neighborhoods are being issued "no fault evictions," forcing them out because of skyrocketing rents and home values.
"It's displacement on a massive scale," says Matt Nickell, an attorney at Greater Boston Legal Services. Housing advocates like him call this an "eviction crisis," and its epicenter is East Boston. "Tenants are, more and more, seeing this as a threat to their very livelihood, their housing, their life. Because rents are rising so rapidly that no mortals can pay them."
The eviction crisis is so bad, say Nickell and his fellow advocates, that they're calling for a major change in Boston city housing laws. They want the city to pass a so-called "just cause" eviction ordinance that would make it much harder to remove tenants from apartments simply because rents are rising.
Olga Pasco faced that situation on Paris Street in East Boston, where she has been a tenant for 30 years, living in the same apartment for 25 of them. But in August, she was forced to move.
She showed us her current home — her bed is neatly made, it's two cots pushed together, covered with blankets and a printed bed sheet. The other bed, where her friends sleep, looks as if children have just finished taking a nap. A doll blocks the stairs. The only privacy is a temporary screen near the beds.
"It's nice, but it's not home," says Pasco in Spanish, because Olga Pasco is living in a church, Our Saviour's Lutheran Church in East Boston.
Her bed is upstairs in the nave, wedged behind the pews, about a dozen rows back from an alter dominated by a life-sized painting of Jesus.
"This is where we live, thanks to Pastor Don," says Pasco. "He opened the doors for us to live here because the landlords — who have all the money in the world. They threw us on the streets without compassion. They knew we were human beings, but nothing mattered to them. That's unjust. They put us in this situation. We didn't ask to leave our homes, especially in the way they threw us out."
For 25 years, Olga Pasco had been living in an apartment at 175 Maverick Street as a month-to-month tenant. The building had been owned by the same family for roughly 30 years.
But, on Dec. 1, 2014, the old owner sold Pasco's building and two others to a group called Maverick Street Realty, LLC.
Pasco says no one in the building was informed about the sale until February 2015.
"We never knew who the new owners were because they never came by and said, 'We're the people who bought this building.' Never," says Pasco. "I met the person who collects the rents — the property manager — in June, by coincidence."
A few days later, Pasco and every other tenant in the building received a letter. It was a "no fault eviction notice," formally known as a notice to quit. The letter stated that Pasco's rent was being raised to $2,000 per month. Average rents in her building had been around $800. The letter stated that, if tenants couldn't pay the new rent, they had to vacate the units by Aug. 1.
"I felt bad because, where am I going to get $2,000 to pay? We're the victims, because we've lived in the apartment for years," says Pasco. "We took care of it, but they immediately evict us."
Pasco took her case to Greater Boston Legal Services, a longtime non-profit that offers legal assistance to low-income residents. Tenants at the Maverick Street building wanted to fight their eviction. Then, on Aug. 1, the same day their notice required them to move out, the back of the building collapsed.
Maverick Street Realty, LLC first paid for motel rooms for Pasco and the other tenants, but then sought a court order to stop paying for the motel, which was granted. That's how Olga Pasco ended up living in the nave of Our Saviour's Lutheran Church.
She and the other tenants are on a high priority list at the city's Department of Community Development and one tenant has already been re-housed, but affordable housing advocates say that Olga Pasco's case is typical of what they're calling an eviction crisis in Boston.
"East Boston, at this point, feels like the epicenter," says Lisa Owens-Pinto, executive director of City Life/Vida Urbana. "Things are changing so quickly, so rapidly. This is a citywide crisis, but this is the heart of the crisis."
Rental numbers are notoriously difficult to pin down. Zillow, the real estate website, estimates that rents in East Boston have jumped more than 25 percent in the past three years. Owens-Pinto says it's even higher.
"East Boston used to be one of the most affordable places to live," she says. "We see folks coming into our weekly meetings on Wednesday, talking 50 percent rent increases, sometimes 100 percent rent increases, sometimes 200 percent rent increases. So, if 30 percent is the average, the folks who are the most vulnerable have it even worse."
The rising rents are part of a massive change in East Boston's overall housing picture. From 2014 to 2015, year to year median sales prices jumped 120 percent. The average price per square foot in the neighborhood is now almost 38 percent higher than Boston as a whole.
In other words, East Boston real estate is white hot. The question is, how many tenants are then being issued no-fault evictions? This, too, is a tough number to pin down. More than 5,000 eviction cases ended up in Boston housing court last year for a variety of reasons. That number has been relatively stable. However, affordable housing advocates say that a vast number of no-fault evictions never even make it to court. Faced with higher rents, the tenants just move out. That's why they're fighting for a so-called "just cause" eviction statute.
"This is a big business for these guys," says Nickell. "Their business plan is to bring in people who are not the people who currently live in East Boston."
Walking around Maverick Square, he points out five recently sold buildings where the new owners are investors or investment groups.
"They're really remaking the community on a grand scale," says Nickell.
Take Maverick Street Realty, LLC. In the past year, the company made six separate purchases in East Boston for approximately $5.2 million. However, the mortgages associated with those purchases total $18 million, all of which is financed by the same group — Acquisition Funding, LLC, a corporation owned by Shem Creek Capital, a Boston commercial real estate finance company.

Back at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church on Paris Street, evicted tenant Olga Pasco knows that everything that's happened to her is legal, but she doesn't accept how it's changing East Boston.
"They're dislocating a lot of people," she says. "They've realized… How do I put this? It's a gold mine. Why? Because East Boston is near the universities. So, they're dislocating those who live here to rent them, fix them and rent to university students. That's what happening."
As for Olga herself, she says losing her home and the cosmetics sales business she once ran from her apartment has changed her, permanently.
"It's had a long psychological effect. I'm not the same Olga I was before. I used to sell a lot. I love sales. I love everything about the business. But now, I'm not the same person. It feels like I've lost an arm."
