Viera: Man U get home help from referees
One paper, I think it was the Telegraph looked at 14 debatable decisions given at OT and found that 7 went for utd and 7 went the way of the opposition. Surely if utd were getting more than the normal rub of the green we would see the majority of decisions going their way.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Who cares..we are about to win our 20 th title..nice 1 bitters.
chitty get more pens @ home than Utd..that should end that.
If that is accurate, and if the season finished with all teams in the same positions in both tables, then the two hard done by clubs would be Chelsea (missing out on CL) and Wigan (being relegated).
However, although the aim is laudable the data is always going to be dodgy. Many penalty decisions are unclear even when you examine them from twenty seven different slow motion angles. It's easy to spot a blatantly bad decision but most wrong decisions will be close.
There is one interesting conclusion from the table though. Broadly speaking all the teams in the top half should have more points and all the teams in the bottom half fewer points. Rather than suggesting a bias against better teams that suggests to me that refereeing reluctance to give penalties hits the better team more as it will generate more incidents in the penalty area.

The Mail disagreed. Take a look below in the link:
"The 10 dodgiest penalties awarded at Old Trafford - and, surprise surprise, each one went Manchester United's way."
Not surprised at all by their findings.

Nathan Hindmarsh has revealed he called upon his painful experiences with problem gambling to help Eels halfback Chris Sandow realise it was an addiction that can be overcome.
The future of Sandow, who was signed to the Eels from Souths on a $550,000-a-year contract at the end of 2011, is uncertain following revelations about his problems.

Hindmarsh back in Eels colours for prostate campaign
We follow former Parramatta Eels legend Nathan Hindmarsh into the medical room as he undergoes a prostate check to spread the word about cancer risks.
''I haven't counselled him,'' Hindmarsh said. ''I asked Chris what he was doing to try and resolve the issues and he explained there were plans in place by the club to help get him started and that was pretty much where we left it. It's unfortunate this has happened to him.
''It's a difficult thing to stop … you have your ups and downs, your good weeks and your bad weeks, and it's a difficult situation to get a handle on because you know what you're doing and you want to stop but it's so hard.''
Hindmarsh, who played 330 first-grade games for Parramatta and represented Australia and NSW, made headlines in 2011 after admitting he'd put $200,000 through poker machines as a result of the addiction he had in his early 20s.
''I had a conversation the other day and I said you can push your body to limits you didn't know you could go, but you can't stop your finger from pushing a little button on a machine,'' he said.
''That was the frustrating thing.''
Hindmarsh said it was possible Sandow, who has also battled a form slump, could win a tough fight. ''I don't know his full story. I don't know how deep he's in, because I didn't want to delve too deep,'' he said.
''I just wanted to make sure he was seeing the right people and getting the right help. The rest is up to him. If Chris wants to change, he can change.''
Hindmarsh said he did not know whether Sandow's personal issues had affected his form. However, the Eels great is involved in a program designed to help people realise they may have a gambling problem.
''The campaign has been rolled out to all club's throughout NSW,'' he said. ''My face appears on little cards placed in gambling areas and the message is 'if your gambling is not fun any more, speak to someone.' ''
Hindmarsh, and the club's major sponsor Glenn Duncan of Pirtek, performed another civic duty when they had ''public'' prostrate examinations on Tuesday to highlight the need for men to undergo examinations. While 33-year-old Hindmarsh was not in the target age group, he wanted to help men overcome concerns about the intrusive procedure.
''It took less than 10 seconds, a bit of a feel around,'' he said. ''Yes it was uncomfortable, but I'd rather have 10 seconds of discomfort than endure what thousands of Australian men do each year all because they won't get tested.''

So now I'm out a phone and they're refusing to send me a new one. Now I'm paying for service for which I have no phone to use. They're saying it's FedEx's problem, and FedEx told me they denied the claim by Wirefly almost 15 days ago. They're customer support is TERRIBLE...you can't understand their reps and all they're taught is to apologize for the inconvenience. DO NOT under any circumstances send them a return without buying insurance for it YOURSELF! I never thought a company would provide labels without insurance on them for expensive electronics.

Yonkers Looks to Lure Entrepreneurs
It's a city long dominated by big manufacturing companies like Domino Sugar and Otis Elevator, but now Yonkers, N.Y., is making a push to attract small businesses and entrepreneurs.
With close to $1 million in state and federal money, Yonkers's economic development arm will unveil a new 8,000 square-foot business incubator next month. Called the Y-Enterprise initiative and situated along the Hudson River in the old Otis Elevator complex, the city-backed incubator will provide space and services to up to eight small businesses for three years. Rents will range from $500 to $2,500 a month, and tenancy in the business center will enable qualified businesses to tap federal and state tax breaks.
The move is the city's next step in a 15-year effort to revitalize its downtown and waterfront areas.
In 1995, decades after large companies the Alexander Smith Carpet mill and Otis Elevator closed their doors, Yonkers first embarked on an effort to revamp the formerly industrial areas. A new public library, a renovated train station and a residential apartment building have popped up over the last decade. Yonkers is now working on a $17 million project to create a "riverwalk" surrounded by an urban park.
"We've been making investments for the past 15 years, and now the key is to attract the next generation of entrepreneurs who will build the wealth, start companies and create jobs that stay in Yonkers," said Louis Kirven, the city's planning and development commissioner.
The city has signed a three -year lease with National RE/Sources, a real-estate development firm that purchased one million square feet of the old Otis Elevator campus from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 2000. The company says it has redeveloped the site and ushered in technology and bioscience companies such as Aureon Biosciences, a life-sciences company that focuses on prostate cancer.

I first realized that The Company Corporation was a scam when I payed $400 to form an LLC. $99 of it went toward what they told me would be a business license. The woman on the phone explained to me that I would recieve my business license in a few days in the mail. After a few days past, I called back, because I did not recieve my business license. Then the woman explained she told me that it would be a "business research package," and that I would have to pay an extra $100 or more for a business license. When I asked to speak to management, my concerns were not acknowledged, and they told me they would not give me the money back off a "research package" I ordered! Then in March I recieved an invoice dated for 12/10/2011 stating that I need to pay $235 for my company. When I contacted The Company Corporation they explained, yes, I had to pay an annual renewal fee. I then contacted the Georgia Secretary of State, that handles business licenses, renewals, etc. They explained to me that I would only have to pay a $50 annual renewal fee. So once again, the Company corporation was trying to scam me out of more money.
My advice to everyone is do not do business with this company. This company is a scam, and trying to get every cent out of hard working people.

There was no online bill showing the total cost. A legitimate merchant would have presented a bill to view and confirm. Had I seen *up front* the amount to be billed for their services, I would never have completed the transaction. There was no email receipt or "confirmation of purchase" sent to me, only a pop-up telling me to bookmark their website for future reference. As a result, I have no documentation for this complaint, which I took to my state attorney general and to the Internet fraud office of the FBI. The first time I saw the total purchase price of $70.80 was when I checked my Bank of America Visa statement the next day.
I contacted Software-HQ via email twice asking for a refund, but they suggested I read their NO REFUND policy. As far as I can recall, this policy was never presented during the online purchase process, rather, it is imbedded cryptically on their website. An honest merchant would have given me the option to agree/disagree with their refund policy before a purchase was made. Again, had I seen that there was a NO REFUND policy, I would not have purchased their membership. Software-HQ, I've discovered, has a proxy domain name, which is problematic and indicative of their having something to hide.

There are many beggars on these streets.
All of the buildings have a detailed interior
This building is the largest and contains a store that sells stolen goods and upstairs is where a criminal who is being pursued by the guards lives.
The smaller building is a small taveren.
A thief can be seen stealing from a trade cart.
The surface level comes off to make looking at the guild easier.
pictures of the guild and sewers
The Theives guild has a small temple inside and a few targets for weapons practice.
The Dark Sewer is the only entrance to the guild. The smell and Rats tend to keep wanderers away.
Thank you for looking and larger images can be found HERE
This model took me 5 hours of work and searching for pieces but i think it was worth it.

Very nice and detailed interior again. My favourite detail is on the outside, however this time. It's the floatsam in the sewer which gives the environment around the creation a really realistic look.

thank you
I don't have too much experience with medievil city buildings.
After i finished the sewer section of this Moc i started to run out of brown 6x1 and 4x1 tiles and grey bricks , this made building the small taveren somewhat harder.
I'm happy with the white building but i really need to decorate the corners in some way or add some more damage to the outside maybe?

But there is only one thing, you could do better. The comic-face driver of the coach looks not so good with the other dot-eyes, maybe you could change this?
Posted 18 January 2010 - 08:05 PM
This is something I didn't really notice until I saw your setup but your hidden rooms have what might be perseived as low ceilings, but in reality compared to the minifig, theya re about the right size for a basement or standard room. Becasue if the minifigs hands are up, they can almost touch the ceiling.
I have to give you props on that aspect becasue you fit more in a smaller space and it still looks good.
The outside is nice too with that lovely cobblestone path.

Skip to comments.Pentagon: Secret unit couldn't stop 9/11 - Able Danger
Posted on 09/21/2006 7:14:42 PM PDT by NormsRevenge
WASHINGTON - A Pentagon report rejects the idea that intelligence gathered by a secret military unit could have been used to stop the Sept. 11 hijackings.
The Pentagon inspector general's office said Thursday that a review of records from the unit, known as Able Danger, found no evidence it had identified ringleader Mohamed Atta or any other terrorist who participated in the 2001 attacks.
The report was ordered following the assertion last year that the unit had identified four of the 19 hijackers in 2000. That claim was made by a former intelligence officer who worked on Able Danger, Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, and by Rep. Curt Weldon (news, bio, voting record), vice chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security committees.
Weldon, R-Pa., has said the unit used data-mining to link Atta and three other hijackers to al-Qaida more than a year before the attacks. The 71-page report, blacked out in parts, rejected Weldon's claim that the unit wanted information given to the FBI but that Pentagon lawyers would not allow it.
Weldon questioned the "motives and the content" of the report and rejected its conclusions. "Acting in a sickening bureaucratic manner, the DOD IG cherry-picked testimony from witnesses in an effort to minimize the historical importance of the Able Danger effort," Weldon said in a statement.
"The report trashes the reputations of military officers who had the courage to step forward and put their necks on the line to describe important work they were doing to track al-Qaida prior to 9/11," Weldon said. He said the investigation did little to answer the questions it was supposed to examine.
The report acknowledged that one Able Danger member alleged he was prohibited from providing a chart to the FBI in 2000 by a senior Special Operations commander. But, the report said, "the senior official did not recall the incident and we are persuaded that the chart would have been of minimal value to the FBI."
The Pentagon had said some employees recall seeing an intelligence chart identifying Atta as a terrorist before the attacks. The report said those accounts "varied significantly" and witnesses were inconsistent at times in their statements.
Several lawmakers had asked the Pentagon to investigate whether Defense Department officials mismanaged Able Danger and retaliated against Shaffer. He was a leading proponent of the program who later had his security clearance revoked.
The report said Shaffer was not retaliated against because of his involvement. But the inspector general did find "procedural oversights" in the handling of his office contents and his performance evaluations.
A message left with Shaffer's lawyer was not returned immediately on Thursday.
Last year, the bipartisan commission that investigated the attacks dispensed with the issue by calling it "not historically significant."
Thomas Kean, the commission's co-chairman, said he hoped the report would put an end to discussion about Able Danger. "After this I don't know where it can go," Kean said.
Associated Press writer Pauline Jelinek contributed to this report.
Defense Department Office of Inspector General:
Why do I smell an odor in the air?
Why do I smell an odor in the air?
Hugo Chavez is in town?
The sulphur part IS Chavez...he just blamed it on Bush...you know how guys blame GAS on the DOG...LOL
I don't know...I smell a "dodge"..maybe not a coverup...but at least a "dodge.
I have to say that I do NOT trust the "lifers" at CIA, STATE, OR the Pentagon...none have seemed all that keen to work WITH President Bush these last 6 years.
PINZ....fancy meeting you here....I hope you won't tell the folks at home that I was visiting a different thread..LOL
Gov. Kean seems to agree with you. He hopes this report buries the story....
Which came first? the report or the investigation?
I won't if you won't. ;-)
Last check before bed... 120 pouches cut out and edge finished....
This is the "report" that was released today.
I smell a Coverup!
The people who shut down AD for political reasons are now saying it was not effective. No surprise here.
Same as the Senate "report" last week that could be debunked 100 different ways in 30 seconds or less. Cover-up? Just another 9-11 OMISSION Commission!
Really nice of them to release this so close to Weldon's election.
We should get Lt. Schaeffer to bone up...and be ready to run for office in 2008.
Naturally you won't find any evidence if you refuse to look for it.
WASHINGTON, Sep 21 - U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon, vice chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security Committees, today released the following statement about the Department of Defense Inspector General (DOD IG) report on Alleged Misconduct by Senior DoD Officials Concerning the Able Danger Program and Lieutenant Colonel Anthony A. Shaffer, U.S. Army Reserve.
The purpose of the DOD IG investigation was to shed light on the pressures and harassment placed on LTC Shaffer and other Able Danger team members. It was also supposed to investigate why Able Danger was glossed over by the Pentagon and why there was such a fight to get information out of the Department of Defense about Able Danger, its findings and the reasoning behind destroying crucial data about linkages and relationship of al-Qaeda prior to 9/11. The IGs report did little to answer these questions.
The DOD IG failed to brief LTC Shaffers lawyer before releasing the report. The contents and overall tone and scope of the report were leaked to the media before Congress was even briefed of its findings. The DOD IG failed to explain in their briefing to me and my staff how such information got out to the media. They said they would investigate, but I have very little confidence that anything will come of that. Also, the timeliness of this report, just weeks before Congressional elections, also raises serious questions about the IGs motivations.
Acting in a sickening bureaucratic manner, the DOD IG cherry picked testimony from witnesses in an effort to minimize the historical importance of the Able Danger effort. The IG narrowly focused their investigation on the witnesses recollections of the 9/11 hijackers and a chart. The report trashes the reputations of military officers who had the courage to step forward and put their necks on the line to describe important work they were doing to track al-Qaeda prior to 9/11.
To further substantiate the Able Danger effort, within the last three months of the DOD IG investigation, another person who recently retired from the military has come forward and corroborated the work of the Able Danger program. Additionally, another official within DOD has conducted data runs of stored pre-9/11 data that has yielded information about the Brooklyn cell.
They do not explain why LTC Shaffer and other Able Danger principles were harassed by their superiors. Specifically, the report did not address why the Defense Intelligence Agency trumped up phony charges against LTC Shaffer in an effort to revoke his clearance. When the DOD IG briefed me, they could not account for why they failed to interview key witnesses connected to this harassment, except for claiming that these witnesses did not come to us evidence that this was not a proactive investigation.
The FBI agent that was tasked with setting up meetings between Able Danger and FBI officials meetings that were block by DOD lawyers was not interviewed in this report, yet it concluded that Able Danger members were not prohibited from sharing intelligence information with law enforcement authorities.
I am appalled that the DOD IG would expect the American people to actually consider this a full and thorough investigation. I question their motives and the content of this report, and I reject the conclusions they have drawn.
The "report" basically calls Shaefer a liar...more burro-cratic traitors covering for Clinton.
more burro-cratic traitors covering for Clinton.
This was let out to help the Clintonista running against Weldon. Joe Sestak.
Yes...this looks like the "reverse" of Plamegate.
There was a LOT to investigate, but someone didn't want to...or want IT to be investigated, and people to depose...but instead it gets a cursory "nothing to see here, move along"..type treatment.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Bush, Rumsfeld, and Co in full coverup mode.
The one where they found "no evidence", but FReeper jveritas did in the DoD's own captured documents database? That one?
Yeah, that would be the one.
I agree with you. I refuse to change my tagllne until Col. Schaffer has his clearance back, and has been listened to.
I'm not holding my breath but I am holding onto my tagline.
I read too much about Able Danger and knew the particular cast of characters at DIA that were so busy in persecuting Col. Schaffer - ADM Jacoby put in for his retirement in a big-O hurry, and so did the major guys next in line. I know enough to know that that is highly suspicious.
I also keep saying, "There but for the grace of God go I.'
I sympathize with Col. Schaffer more than anyone can possibly understand and way more than I am allowed to say.
Bravo, Rep Weldon. I hope he doesn't let this whitewash by the DoD/Pentagon IG stand. Go Weldon!!!!
Why would they want to cover up stuff that mostly occurred during the 'toon regime?
Entrenched, non uniformed (mostly) bureaucrats in the DoD most likely. Lord knows there's plenty of them, each with their own agenda, and trying to build their own fiefdom, quite successfully in most cases, not that Colonels and above aren't bad at that, or at a similar, game.
a whitewash - we all knew this was coming. they released it now to try and undermine Weldon's re-election.
and where is Rumsfeld - isn't he running DoD?
why did they cover it up?
the likely simple answer - they had access to database information for things they should not have had. if the truth were told here, that would come to light. not that we care mind you, but these career people at DoD don't want to deal with that.
There are a number of citations in this report that look suspiciously like good old fashioned military CYA at its finest. Among these are the tendency to extend credibility to the utmost for commanding (especially flag rank) officers, while reducing the credibility of field grade officers (even O-6s) and senior DoD civilians to below the level of military cadets. Also there is the attempt to cast Shaffer in a bad light by suggesting that he "stole" the GPS unit. While it's possible that he returned the equipment "after the fact" to avoid being charged with its misappropriation, it it is equally possible that Shaffer believed that he was authorized to keep the unit (apparently property accountability in his outfit was shoddy, at best) or that he simply found the unit in his "deployment bag" and decided to take that opportunity to return it or that the individuals responsible for sending his personal belongings to him did (their denials notwithstanding) ship the GPS unit to him, and he subsequently returned it. This little attempted frame-up is illustrative of the "black and white" tone of the report. It's not possible that people have memory lapses, or different recollections of facts and events. Either Shaffer, and a few other witnesses are "lying", or senior military and civilian officers (heaven fore fend) have had convenient memory lapses.
Thanks for the ping.
Amazing how things like this and the Barrett Report just "disappear"...
I think it is about time that they STOP disappearing.
It is also amazing how the NSA surviellance program and the datamining program and the "black prisons" can be "leaked" ...and should be kept a secret (at least for a while)..
But, the reports that have nothing to do with our national security at this point...get buried.
Freep mail to you.
Reading just that short part about the interaction between Lt. Shaeffer and George Tenent brings up visions of that Path to 9/11 movie that ABC showed a couple of weeks ago.
The scenes with the chaos that WAS going on in American intel circles...lends itself to the idea of Tenet saying what he did...and Able Danger gathering all kinds of information that NEVER gets to anyone that would listen.
I know, that Barrett Report that supposedly has all kinds of "names" and other information that could harm the Clintons has been totally forgotten I guess.
Even though Tony Snow got Mitch McConnell to say he would report about what it said...when Tony had his radio show...I don't think anything HAS been said since Tony left that show..
You don't think he was given the Press Secretary job to keep him off the Barrett Report trail, do you? LOL...just kidding.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
WHY are they denying Able Danger PING!!!! This is SO infuriating ... the rogues are still at work, or something. Anyone .. please ping me if news of LtCol. Shaffer makes any statements or appears anywhere. I can't imagine what he's going through. 'Course, this also makes Weldon look like a certifiable nutjob. Jeeze.
You get it!
Well, of course, they are covering up the Able Danger story. It was integral to Bush's orchestration of the Srptember 11 attacks. /s
Maybe it would help if someone in Curt Weldon's area could get a copy of this thread into his hands.

Perth City Link
Perth City Link will reconnect the CBD with Northbridge for the first time in 100 years, and in the process create a vibrant new mixed-use precinct that will revitalise our city.
It involved sinking the Fremantle rail line from Perth Station to Lake/King streets, undergrounding the Wellington Street Bus Station and creating five new connections between the CBD and Northbridge.
When completed Perth City Link will deliver significant benefits for locals and tourists alike: better access and connectivity; more residential, retail, entertainment and commercial opportunities; and more than 4 hectares of high quality public spaces.
The project is a collaboration between the three levels of government: the Federal Government, State Government - led by the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority and the Public Transport Authority - and the City of Perth.
Media gallery
Rail Project Works
Sinking the Fremantle Line between William Street and Lake/King Streets was the first part of the public transport component to reconnect the CBD and Northbridge.
The first train travelled through the new rail tunnel in July 2013 marking a major milestone for the project.
The rail project was completed at the end of 2013, with the opening of a new pedestrian underpass connecting Perth Underground Station to all the platforms at Perth Station and the completion of upgrades to Perth Station.
Bus Project Work
The second stage of the Perth city Link, building a new underground busport, enables the full realisation of a 100-year vision to reconnect the CBD and Northbridge.
The new busport will replace the now demolished Wellington Street Bus Station with a state-of-the- art underground bus station and will incorporate Australia's first Dynamic Stand Management System. Click here to read the Perth Busport fact sheet.
Perth Busport is the final transport component of the Perth City Link project and its completion will allow work to begin on the multi-storey developments which will sit above.
Perth Busport will open in 2016.

I cannot seem to get the 'Jetpack - Facebook Like Box widget' to be anything other than the default 200px width.
Height can be adjusted, but the width will not allow itself to be changed.
If I enter any other value, and save it, it simply gets overridden set back to 200px.

Terri Schiavo is the 40-year-old woman brain-damaged woman at the center of a legal battle between her husband and her parents. Last October, state lawmakers passed a law giving Gov. Jeb Bush the power to order her feeding tube reinserted.
A state judge ruled in May that the law violated Schiavo's privacy rights. The state Supreme Court will consider the governor's appeal tomorrow. But 17 disability groups have signed on to a "friend-of-the-court" brief supporting Schiavo's parents and the governor.
At a Tallahassee news conference today, Rebecca Ramage-Tuttle of Atlanta spoke for the National Spinal Cord Injury Association. She says the fight to keep Terri Schiavo alive is, in her words, "basically the struggle for all of our lives."
Schiavo's brother, Bobby Schindler, says her parents are both anxious about tomorrow's hearing but also confident about the constitutionality of the law.

In the new epsiode At the Edge of Space, NOVA and NASA team up in an effort to explore the Earth-space boundary and capture these elusive phenomena on camera. Discover what mysterious objects lurk in the abyss through eye-catching footage shot from the International Space Station and never-before-seen 3D images.NOVA: Asteroid: Doomsday or Payday? at 9:00 pmSized from the width of a football field, to the size of a small city, asteroids are killer rocks on a
collision course with Earth. There are millions of these space rocks in the solar system but we have only just begun to understand their resource potential. A large asteroid could end life on Earth but entrepreneurs see asteroids and think payday, not doomsday. Asteroids can be loaded with billions of dollars' worth of elements like iron, nickel, and platinum. Will these space rocks turn out to be our economic saviors, or cause our extinction? NOVA explores these questions and more in Asteroid: Doomsday or Payday? Watch a preview!

Antiradical Activity of Paulownia tomentosa (Scrophulariaceae) Extracts
AbstractPaulownia tomentosa is a large indecidous tree planted mostly for its fast growing wood and decoratative purposes. The tree is also used in traditional Chinese medicine. As a part of our study of natural polyphenols, the fruits of Paulownia tomentosa were extracted by EtOH and than subjected to liquid/liquid extraction. Fractions were analysed by TLC and HPLC to determine presence of phenolic substantaces. We identified and quantified acteoside (1) and isoacteoside (2) in the EtOAc and n-BuOH extracts; mimulone (3) and diplacone (4) in the MeOH extract. To determine the antiradical activity of extracts we used the anti DPPH and peroxynitrite assays. The activity was expressed as Trolox C equivalents, IC50 for DPPH scavenging and a time dependency course was established. The polyphenols content was determined; results were expressed as gallic acid equivalents. Using these methods we found the fractions of the n-BuOH, EtOAc and MeOH extracts that display antiradical activity, which could be exploited as potential pharmaceuticals.

What are the risk factors for ectopic pregnancy? (Part 2)
Infection in the pelvis (pelvic inflammatory disease) is another risk factor for ectopic pregnancy. Pelvic infections are usually caused by sexually-transmitted organisms, such as Chlamydia or N. gonorrhoeae, the bacteria that cause gonorrhea. However, non-sexually transmitted bacteria can also cause pelvic infection and increase the risk of an ectopic pregnancy. Infection causes an ectopic pregnancy by damaging or obstructing the Fallopian tubes. Normally, the inner lining of the Fallopian tubes is coated with small hair-like projections called cilia. These cilia are important to transport the egg smoothly from the ovary through the Fallopian tube and into the uterus. If these cilia are damaged by infection, egg transport becomes disrupted. The fertilized egg can settle in the Fallopian tube without reaching the uterus, thus becoming an ectopic pregnancy. Likewise, infection-related scarring and partial blockage of the Fallopian tubes can also prevent the egg from reaching the uterus.
Because having multiple sexual partners' increases a woman's risk of pelvic infections, multiple sexual partners also are associated with an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.
Like pelvic infections, conditions such as endometriosis, fibroid tumors, or pelvic scar tissue (pelvic adhesions), can narrow the Fallopian tubes and disrupt egg transportation, thereby increasing the chances of an ectopic pregnancy.
Approximately half of pregnancies in women using intrauterine devices (IUDs) will be located outside of the uterus. However, the total number of women becoming pregnant while using IUDs is extremely low. Therefore, the overall number of ectopic pregnancies related to IUDs is very low.
Cigarette smoking around the time of conception has also been associated with an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy. This risk was observed to be dose-dependent, which means that the risk is dependent upon the individual woman's habits and increases with the number of cigarettes smoked.
A history of infertility for two or more years also is associated with an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.

The Frenchman is currently being used on the left of the three central midfielders given the injury to Claudio Marchisio.
But Conte, speaking to the Corriere dello Sport, thinks he has the ability to be given the playmaker responsibility if necessary.
"Pirlo is a champion who can't be equalled and there is nobody in Italy, even if some are getting better, with his characteristics, his direction or who can give such peace of mind to the squad," stated the coach.
"That being said, Pogba can fill the vice-Pirlo role. He already did that last season and, if there is the need, he can mask the absence of Andrea even if they have different characteristics.
"Paul is a modern midfielder who can play in any midfield role because of his physique, fitness and his ability to break into attack.
"He is a complete player, although one who still has big margins of improvement to make."
The 20-year-old, now a full France international, joined Juve from Manchester United a year ago.

Leicester school budget revote set for TuesdayBy Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer | April 08,2013LEICESTER — Residents will return to the polls today to vote on a revised budget for the Leicester School District.
The School Board is proposing a budget of $1,117,640 for fiscal year 2013-14, an increase of $56,982, or 5.3 percent, compared to the current budget of $1,060,658.
On Town Meeting Day, residents defeated a proposed budget of $1,127,521 by a vote of 73 to 65. That proposal would have raised the budget by 66,863, or 6.3 percent.
The School Board has trimmed $9,881 from the first proposal.
The revised proposal would raise the residential tax rate from $1.32 to $1.39, or about a penny less than the prior proposed budget.

Car nets more than $1 million for UA scholarships
Published: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 at 11:00 p.m.
Thanks to a unique gift to the University of Alabama, a sportscar that once raced in Europe and Africa will eventually send students to college.
Sports car enthusiast Darrell Westfaul bought a Ferrari in 1966 while he was a student at UA for $1,500, the equivalent of about $9,300 today.
Forty years later, he sold the car for more than $1 million.
Cars are an unusual gift," said Phillip Adcock, assistant vice president for development. This is the only time Ive ever been involved with one."
Thats because most cars, even antique models, arent worth enough to set up a trust fund that endows a scholarship.
But Westfauls car is not a run-of-the-mill antique roadster.
Its a 1950 Ferrari 166MM Touring Barchetta refitted in 1953 with a body by Zagato, another Italian car company that refitted nine Ferraris.
Or, in laymans terms, Westfauls Ferrari is smokin.
There was undeniably a coolness factor. I mean, I had a Ferrari," Westfaul said of the perks of driving the car around campus in his senior year. When youre 21 years old, thats the greatest thing in the world."
Of course, as a racecar, Westfauls vehicle lacked amenities such as windows that could be rolled down or heating and air conditioning. Those were things drivers of the car didnt need while touring racing circuits in the early 1950s.
It was raced three times in the Mille Miglia, or Thousand Miles, one of the more famous races in Italy the grand touring era of sports cars. One driver of the car won the 1952 Italian championship for its class, Westfaul said.
The roadster ended up in North America and changed hands before Westfaul bought it from another man in Tuscaloosa.
He had plans to repair and restore the car after graduation in 1967, and drove it to his parents house in Mobile, where he dismantled it.
But life and money got in the way, and for 40 years the car was moved from garage to garage. For the last 15 years, it sat in a warehouse in town, he said.
In fact, Westfaul never restored it completely, a task that would take at least $300,000, he said.
Its not something an individual could attempt to do," he said. The best thing to do was to sell it to a professional who could."
But selling the car himself would mean paying a 28 percent capital gains tax. Giving the car to the university to sell, since UA cant use a Ferrari. would substantially lower the charitable deduction on Westfauls tax return
After reading an article about a similar gift to UCLA, Westfaul approached university officials about setting up a charitable remainder trust.
Through the trust, Westfaul sold the car to a collector in Arizona who was planning to open a museum.
The money from the sale is managed by the university and invested. Westfaul gets an annual payment for the rest of his and his wifes lives. When they die -- Westfaul is 63 -- UA gets whats left to endow a scholarship.
It enabled him to give an extraordinary gift that otherwise would be possible," Adcock said.
More than likely, at least the $1 million will remain in the trust after Westfaul dies, but it could be quite a bit more if returns are good.
The university wouldnt do something like this for someone whos 40 years old because it would take too long," Westfaul said.
Charitable remainder trusts are common methods of giving, but they normally take the form of real estate or securities, Adcock said.
When set up, the fund could pay out $60,000 a year for scholarships, Adcock said. Preference will be given to student from Murphy High School in Mobile, Westfauls alma mater.

The reason being is because im pretty much an idiot when it comes to ActionScript in general also im not that knowledgably in ActionScript. SOOO~ i will give HTML5 a try since im really good at HTML and JavaScript as a small lad plus i have actual "professional" experience with it so yeah why not XD.
Sorry not making shit this year because i was going though "stuff" and all that weak sauceness BUT im over it. So yeah.
What ive been up to?
Well i re-open the vn flash project "THE WEST WING: Night 1" i did with beowolf666 and translate the code from ActionScript to HTML5 / JavaScript and man capered making it in HTML5 it took WAAAAAYYY~ less time when i was using ActionScript XD. Not saying HTML5 is better then ActionScript its just im very familiar with the language. Some good things about HTML5 on different systems, for example when me and beowolf was working on the vn and every time he tested the vn there's some characters are cut off but on my end it was perfectly fine and this happened back to back. Long story short its the fact my os was GNU/Linux and his of course was a Windows. Some bad thins about it is that I need to learn how to use the Newgrounds HTML5 API. So yeah.... well anyways the vn engine im making in html5 is going great so far! Once i finished with that i can push stories back to back on NG and stuff XD.
Well lets see how this goes…
