Event Monitor
The Cardiac Event Monitor is used to detect abnormal heart rhythms. This small device records the heart's electrical activity (rhythm) at the push of a button. Patients trigger the device when they first begin to feel signs (an "event") such as:
The monitor stores the heart rhythm. Later that rhythm is sent via the telephone to the doctor for review. This test allows for on-demand heart monitoring outside the hospital/clinic setting when symptoms are noted and as you go about your normal routine. The test results help guide your doctor to choose treatment options to meet your specific needs.
The monitor, about the size of a deck of cards, is clipped to your waistband. This monitor is connected to a set of wires which attaches to two electrodes worn on your chest (like an EKG). The monitor can be worn for up to 30 days. It is removed during bathing.
Follow the tech's guidelines for transmitting recordings. This can be done daily, weekly or whenever you feel your symptoms need immediate attention. In most cases, it is important to transmit after three or four "events" (due to the monitor's limited storage capacity).
Recordings cannot be transmitted by cell phone or any other portable phone. Should the findings indicate that you need medical care, your doctor will be notified right away.
Removing the Monitor
Remove the monitor as instructed. Return the monitor, wires, unused electrodes and batteries, and your diary to the Cardiac Stress Testing/Heart Monitoring Department or Clinic.
Your final test report will be sent to your doctor after the monitor is returned and all the recordings have been reviewed by a cardiologist. A full report will be sent/faxed to your doctor.

LISBON - A company that contracted with Lisbon nearly 15 months ago for exclusive rights to purchase millions of gallon of village water for the drilling industry has yet to draw a drop.
But two other companies have begun doing so, generating an additional $15,200 in revenue to date for the village.
It was in August 2011 that the village board of public affairs (BPA) agreed to sell water to LGB Land Services, which was going around Columbiana County securing access to water supplies for resale to oil and gas drilling companies working in the area. The contract was for two years, with the village required to supply up to 3 million gallons the first year and 6 million gallons the next.
For whatever reason, LGB has yet to purchase any water from the village, which has left BPA members baffled. BPA member Bill Hoover said he understands some haulers are getting their water from other sources, such as the Ohio River. He even heard some were drawing water from the Little Beaver Creek.
"The (drilling) boom really hasn't started .... I think they thought the boom would be quicker than it has been," Hoover said.
Of the 26 gas wells drilled in the county in the past 18 months, only one is producing.
At one point the BPA became concerned about whether the LGB was in violation of the contract and asked the village solicitor to re-examine the pact, but it appears the contract requires Lisbon to only make the water available exclusively to LGB.
"We looked it over and we don't think they're required to buy water. We hope we're wrong," he said, adding they have tried to contact the company.
Under the agreement, LGB would pay $10 per 1,000 gallons, and the BPA was counting on the $30,000 the agreement would generate the first year to stabilize residential rates or provide them with extra money for future projects.
But two other companies in support of the drilling industry have purchased 1.5 million gallons of water from the village between July and September, according to the BPA. The companies are Iron Mountain of Elkins, W.Va., and Clear Creek, which operates out of the New Waterford area.
This has generated an additional $15,200 in revenue for the BPA.
The village's well field is capable of producing more than 1 million gallons per day, of which 360,000 is needed to supply customers are current usage levels.

The following is the sixth of seven position-by-position 2013 Pittsburgh Steelers NFL draft analyses:
On the roster: Jonathan Dwyer, Isaac Redman, Baron Batch
Last six drafts: Rashard Mendenhall (2008, first round) is now gone after five years of not living up to his potential. Also gone is speedster Chris Rainey (2012, fifth round). Dwyer (2010, sixth round) and Batch (2011, seventh round) might get more opportunities this year.
Top running backs available: Eddie Lacy, Alabama; Le'Veon Bell, Michigan State; Giovani Bernard, North Carolina; Montee Ball, Wisconsin; Andre Ellington, Clemson
The Steelers might take: Lacy; Bernard; Ellington; Johnathan Franklin, UCLA; Kenjon Barner, Oregon; Christine Michael, Texas A&M
Analysis: The Steelers' biggest need in this year's draft might be a speedy running back. But the problem is that none of the year's crop of backs is considered a sure first-round pick, and the Steelers won't reach after taking Mendenhall five years ago. The Steelers might be able to get one of the top backs with their second pick and will most certainly have chosen a back by the start of the fourth round on Saturday. Many draft boards are linking the Steelers to Lacy, but he seems to be in the same mold as Dwyer and Redman. It would seem like a smaller, faster back like Bernard or Franklin would be a better fit.
On the roster: Will Johnson, David Johnson (tight end)
Last six drafts: Frank "The Tank'' Summers (2009, fifth round) was an intriguing prospect for approximately half of a training camp. David Johnson (2009, seventh round) has filled the role of blocking back pretty well for a seventh-round pick.
Top fullbacks available: Lonnie Pryor, Florida State; Zach Line, SMU
The Steelers might take: None
Analysis: The Steelers like either of the two Johnsons for when they use a fullback. David Johnson missed all of last season, and Will Johnson was a free-agent find. With so many other needs, fullback shouldn't be a priority during this year's draft.
Coming Wednesday: Receivers

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Researchers have made the surprising discovery that DNA-cutting zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) can directly penetrate into cells and don't need to be delivered as DNA constructs using vectors. The discovery, by Carlos F Barbas III, Ph.D., and colleagues at The Scripps Research Institute, could feasibly lead to the development of much simpler and safer ways of editing the genetic content of either stem cells or differentiated cells developed as treatments for diseases including HIV.
Reporting in Nature Methods, the Scripps investigators say they have found that the direct delivery of ZFNs as proteins to a range of mammalian cell types leads to efficient endogenous gene disruption with minimal off-target effects. The approach was successful in primary adult human fibroblasts that are commonly used to generate induced pluripotent stem cells, as well as hard to transfect cells such as primary CD4+ T cells and patient-derived leukemia cell lines. The work is described in a paper titled "Targeted gene knockout by direct delivery of zinc-finger nuclease proteins."
ZFNs are essentially DNA scissors that generate double-stranded breaks (DSBs) at a designated DNA sequence. Used to effect precise genetic modifications, the synthetic fusion proteins consist of an engineered zinc finger DNA-binding domain (zinc finger protein, or ZFP) fused to the cleavage domain of the FokI restriction endonuclease. The Barbas laboratory at Scripps developed the original technology for constructing the ZFPs used to direct the nuclease to its DNA target site.
Getting ZFNs into cells currently involves transfection with viral or nonviral vectors carrying the ZFN gene. However, this approach isn't ideal, both because of the time and expense in generating the gene construct and vector, and also because the vector-based approach can result in undesirable side effects such as insertional mutagenesis or toxicity.
In their search for an improved method for delivering ZFNs into cells, the Barbas team found that the ZFN proteins themselves can directly penetrate into cells and effect genetic modification without the unwanted side effects associated with vector-delivered ZFN genes. "We tried working with unmodified ZFNs, and lo and behold, they were easy to produce and entered cells quite efficiently," Barbas states.
In their published paper the team reports that ZFNs can make their own way into a range of human cell types, including those that resist vector-based delivery. One set of tests demonstrated that a ZFN protein targeting the CCR5 gene (which is required by HIV to infect immune system cells) was efficiently taken up into human T cells and led to rapid disruption of CCR5 gene activity. This has particular clinical relevance because clinical trials are currently under way to evaluate a gene therapy that uses ZFNs to disrupt CCR5 genes in T cells that are infused back into the patient.
Notably, the Barbas team found that in comparison with the ZFN gene-based approach to CCR5 disruption, the delivery of ZFN proteins to T cells appeared much safer. "At some off-target locations where the gene therapy approach frequently causes damage, we saw no damage at all from this new technique," Dr Barbas states. The team has a particular interest in HIV therapy, and is looking to develop an anti-CCR5 hematopoietic stem cell therapy for HIV. "Even a small number of stem cells that carry this HIV-resistance feature could end up completely replacing a patient's original and vulnerable T cell population," Barbas adds.
Direct delivery of ZFNs could also feasibly allow the direct engineering of hematopoietic stem cells or cells differentiated from fibroblast-derived induced pluripotent stem cells as the basis for autologous therapies for a range of diseases. And potential applications of the technique for effecting precise genome editing for disease research are manifold.
"In contrast to methods that require ZFN expression from DNA, ZFN protein delivery leads to comparatively fewer off-target cleavage events and does not carry the risk of insertional mutagenesis," the authors conclude. "Thus, this method is suitable for genome-editing applications in which minimizing cellular toxicity or maintaining genetic integrity is of particular importance, such as the in vitro modeling of human diseases and the ex vivo modification of nontransformed human cell types."

Missing a good night's sleep is more than just annoying: it can slow you down the next day, keep you from functioning well at work, and might even contribute to severe accidents.
But did you know that long-term sleep problems can also increase your risk for high blood pressure, heart failure or stroke, and have even been linked to weight control problems? Studies show that one-third of the general population has a sleep disorder and nearly 60 percent of individuals with certain diseases (such as congestive heart failure) have a sleep disorder.
If you're having trouble getting the sleep you need, our Sleep Disorders Center (accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine) can help you get to the cause of your problem and provide treatment. Our sleep specialists diagnose and treat sleep-related problems in children (age 4 and over) and adults, including circadian rhythm disorders, insomnia, narcolepsy, restless legs, shift-work problems and sleep apnea.
If you or someone you love has trouble sleeping, please call for an initial consultation (you can also ask your doctor for a referral):
440 Whirl-A-Way Drive, Suite 3, Danville
Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Sleep studies conducted six nights a week.
If you are already experiencing daytime sleepiness, it could be a symptom of a sleep disorder. Please take our sleep test below to find out just how your sleepiness is affecting you.
Are you likely to fall asleep in these situations?
If you answered yes to 3 or more questions, you should consider a visit to a sleep specialist to determine the cause of your daytime sleepiness.
Note: This quiz is a tool for you to use to assess your level of daytime sleepiness. Daytime sleepiness could be a symptom of a sleep disorder.

The American Red Cross is asking those interested in helping victims of Hurricane Sandy to contribute financially.
People, schools and businesses around the Buffalo area have been calling the Western New York Region of the Red Cross with interest in donating food and clothing to the downstate relief efforts, but logistically that tends to be more costly, officials said.
"The cost to sort and package the donated items is usually greater than the cost of purchasing the items locally," said Jay Bonafede, communications coordinator for the Western New York Region. "It's easier and more efficient for us to use the financial donations."
"We just encourage everyone to make a financial donation," Bonafede said. "This is going to be a long and costly response."
People can donate by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS or by going to www.redcross.org. You can also text REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10 to disaster relief.
Also, the local chapter may be conducting disaster training courses as early as next week for those interested in volunteering downstate or during future relief efforts, Bonafede said.
Call the volunteer coordinator at 886-7500 for more information.
Meanwhile, people from Buffalo continue to make their way to the storm-damaged areas, including a group from the University at Buffalo School of Nursing.
Joann M. Sands, a clinical instructor of nursing at UB, traveled with seven nursing students to Long Island to help care for people who have conditions serious enough to go to an emergency room but not ill enough to be admitted to a hospital.
The UB students were stationed in a skilled nursing facility to take the overflow from local emergency rooms.

5 Hated Groups That Are Going Out of Their Way to Be Awesome
There are some people that we expect to go out of their way to help others: nuns, firemen, anyone being played by Morgan Freeman. Other groups, though, are viewed by society as a whole as shady and possibly even dangerous. So it's refreshing to know that even groups of people with bad reputations are capable of doing awesome things. For example ...
#5. Biker Gangs Are Protecting Abused Kids
When most people hear "biker gang," they don't think, "Hey, that is something I want my kids around." At best, bikers are associated with revving their annoyingly loud motorcycles with the mistaken assumption that everyone within a 2-mile radius enjoys the sound of Thor's farts. At worst, they're drunkenly trashing bars and stabbing people. No one watches Sons of Anarchy with happy tears in their eyes, hoping that this will be their son someday. In fact, the closest connection bikers will have with most of our children is when we pull young Billy aside, point discreetly, and say: "See, son? That's why daddy has to shave every morning."

"I need those blades for shankin'."
How They're Being Awesome
After decades of being shunned by polite society, bikers have hit back ... by protecting the hell out of some abused children.
Bikers Against Child Abuse, a volunteer group with chapters in 36 states, has been using its epic beard power for good since 1995. When the family of an abused kid requests BACA's help via a therapist or government agency, a group of bikers head over to the child's house and present themselves at his or her service. From that point on, if the kid's abuser bothers him or her in any way, a group of goddamn bikers will show up outside the house and stand guard. They'll come over even if the kid had a nightmare and is feeling scared.
Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
Bikers can kick the crap out of the closet monster.
The idea behind child-abuse-fighting biker gangs is that children are usually incredibly intimidated by their abusers, who are of course bigger and stronger than them. But fuck that, bikers are more intimidating, and it turns out the tough guys who abuse children aren't quite so tough when their alleged victims are surrounded by huge wooly mammoths in human form.
This intimidation-for-good can also help children during the legal process. Testifying against an abuser is bad enough for adults, let alone for a frightened kid. So BACA bikers often accompany children to court or parole hearings and then sit down where they're clearly visible to the abuser. If you haven't had your daily dose of schadenfreude yet, imagine the look on some asshole's face when he's expecting a kid to show up with nothing but a scrawny lawyer, and instead sees a fucking biker gang file in.
#4. Teenagers Keep Saving Kidnapped Children
Based on the research I did over the last couple of hours, I have determined that today's teenagers apparently spend all their time "sexting" (a form of drug use in which a teenager samples six different types of drugs at once) and "vaping" (a form of drug use in which a teenager deliberately contracts ventilator-associated pneumonia in order to trick doctors into giving them a morphine "high"). Obviously, unlike the proud youth of yesteryear, who were directly responsible for killing Hitler, today's selfie-obsessed millennials aren't much into helping people.
How They're Being Awesome
Turns out that North American teenagers regularly toss aside their drugs, pornography, and drug pornography long enough to rescue some goddamned kidnapped kids.
In 2013, a man in Pennsylvania decided to be a real winner and abducted a 5-year-old girl as she played in her front yard. Two local teenage boys heard about the disappearance and set off on a rescue mission ... on their bikes. They soon spotted the kidnapper's car and started a wacky car/bike chase that probably would have been hilarious if there wasn't a crazy pervert involved. Eventually, said kidnapper realized that he'd somehow stepped into the middle of a PG-rated '80s movie, stopped the car, and released the girl.

Later, the kidnapper's further evil plots were foiled when he drove into a giant pile of manure.
Lest you think that that was an exception, and that the rest of North America's teenagers are too busy drinking hand sanitizer and inserting vodka-soaked tampons into their orifices to do anything like it, the same thing happened again. In May 2014, a young woman dressed as a nurse abducted an hours-old baby from a hospital in Quebec. What a kidnapper would want with something that sprays liquid filth from both ends and looks like bubblegum crudely shaped into the form of a potato is anyone's guess, but mine is that it was nothing good. A group of four local teenagers must have agreed, because they, too, decided to track down the abductor's car, presumably after getting in a circle, piling their hands together, and throwing them up in the air, screaming "Oh YEAH!"
Pixland/Pixland/Getty Images
As they searched, they sang a swear-free song about how it's OK to express your feelings.
And today's teenagers must come equipped with car homing rays or something, because it took the Canadian team less than three hours to find the woman and report her to the police. The rescued potato-bubblegum lump was returned to her happy parents, the kidnapper was sent for psychiatric evaluation, and the team of teenagers went off to solve the case of the missing necklace at the school gym.
#3. Bronies Are Big on Charity
Since they first popped up in 2010, bronies (male fans of the show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic) have been the target of both media attention and ridicule. It's not easy out there for men who like cartoons and pony toys traditionally associated with young girls, and bronies have faced attacks from both genders: A lot of men think their obsession with ponies is weird, while some women have criticized bronies for "invading" a formerly female-only space and getting dick everywhere. Bronies have even become associated with the men's rights movement, even though Friendship Is Magic is about a matriarchal pony society ruled by magical princesses, which you'd think would make the average MRA's head explode right through his fedora.
How They're Being Awesome
In 2012, a group of bronies decided to raise money for a TV spot that thanked the Friendship Is Magic writers for making such an awesome show. That's a nice gesture, I guess, but isn't really helping anyone. But then things took a different turn: The bronies accidentally raised too much money, so they did what anyone would do and bought a giant pile of fedoras that they could use to fill up an entire Olympic-size swimming pool and then bathe in forever.
Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images
"Man, I'm not even in the pool yet, and look at my boner."
No, wait, they decided to donate the excess money to military charity Toys for Tots, and even decided to plug the charity during the ad. Then, realizing that they all seemed to have too much money on their hands, they organized and registered an official charity, the Brony Thank You Fund, which they used to set up a permanent scholarship at CalArts for aspiring animators. The Thank You Fund is now funneling its brony-money into a cancer charity, while another brony group, Bronies for Good, runs blood drives and donates to international aid programs.
It also turns out that the brony/MRA connection is way overblown, and there's a good feminist argument for the existence of bronies. So I'd like to personally apologize for making brony MRA jokes back in this article, and also for all the fedora jokes in this entry.

Call for Papers
The primary theme of the third biennial interdisciplinary conference on race at Monmouth University is access and privilege in higher education. Some questions to consider are as follows: What has been the history of access and privilege for disadvantaged groups in the ivory tower? What challenges have academics of color faced in their quest for acceptance into institutions of higher education? How does privilege operate at the institutional level in terms of the teaching of race and ethnicity as well as issues related to diverse populations on campus (faculty and students)? How and why has diversity been redefined in higher education? What about the history of affirmative action for white people? What has been the plight of black academics at predominantly white institutions?
Although the main conference theme is specifically related to access and privilege in higher education, we welcome all papers on race in the U.S./global societies from a variety of disciplinary perspectives including history, anthropology, sociology, economics (and labor), education, communication studies, and cultural studies.

UPDATE: Unity 4.2 is now available for Windows Phone. Check all details here: http://unity3d.com/pages/windows
We're excited to announce the public availability of Unity for Windows Phone!
I spoke with Microsoft Technical Evangelist Vlad Kolesnikov about how developers can get started right now building games for both Windows and Windows Phone using the Unity game developer ecosystem tools.
We first took a look at the first game in the Windows Phone store built using the Unity tools: Drift Mania Championship, (available here), and then dove right into using the tools to build a basic game.
Look for more information about all of our GDC 2013 announcements in our Official Developer Blog.

Oops, something didn't work.
Will the Windows Phone support free in Unity? The addons for iOS and Android cost at least 400 dollar
Well done! I need more information on plugins development, especially for in-app purchases and ads.
I realize it's politically incorrect to consider a person's accent with the quality of a screencast, but some people will not watch if they cannot easily understand what's being said. I seriously don't feel comfortable saying this, but it has to be said.
its fantastic
We need XNA 5.0 or FULL financial support of MonoGame by Microsoft. Unity is no match to Visual Studio for developers.
Nothing wrong that you sending this stuff. pretty inspiring but te sound is crappy. sorry but i think you can do better..

i don't like the accent of the person sitting on the right side.
Nice avatars! Just posing to see if I'd get one automatically (like a gravatar) :)
Great!!! But xna? It's Death in visual studio 2012.
No puedo buscar a una persana
Is it free? Where do download the addon?
when it will be available for download?
Hi everyone.
I downloaded Unity 4.1.5. But It not inside Windows Phone Platform in this version. I think, there are Windows Phone Platform in the Unity 4.2. Where am I download Unity 4.2.
Thanks in advance...
Nice! - but XNA 5.0 should do the same.
Accent is nothing, the idea is everything! (to Saad Anees & Luzi - learn Russian, until it's not late )
Siverlight, WPF, XAML, ZUNE, XNA, when will people learn, MS don't know what they're doing and have to wait for others to show them the way, pretty much like their actions on the Internet, tablets and mobiles, windows 8, NFI
The only things they've got right
supporting jQuery
Supporting Unity 3d
esta pregunta es que no puedo intalar mi windows phone a mi pc con windows 7 intale el programa windows phone i cuando se conecta me dice telefono bloqueado y el controlador dice que no intala rm-846-nokialumia que puedo hacer espero su respuesta en español gracias
WP7 or WP8??
no se nada de englis
When is XNA 5 coming instead of this "stuff"?
I 2nd+ XNA coming to windows(phone) store apps
Can Unity be downloaded on a school's network?
I reckon that is why the guy on the left is in there. To assist with presentation due to other gentlemen's (Right) accent. It's all fine.
Gracias por la infoo!!!

Key Specifications
Product Details
The ADIS16400/ADIS16405 provide a simple, cost-effective method for integrating accurate, multi-axis inertial sensing into industrial systems, especially when compared with the complexity and investment associated with discrete designs. All necessary motion testing and calibration are part of the production process at the factory, greatly reducing system integration time. Tight orthogonal alignment simplifies inertial frame alignment in navigation systems. An improved serial peripheral interface (SPI) and register structure provide faster data collection and configuration control. By using a compatible pinout and the same package as the ADIS1635x and ADIS1636x families, upgrading to the ADIS16400/ADIS16405 requires only firmware changes to accommodate additional sensors and register map updates.
These compact modules are approximately 23 mm × 23 mm × 23 mm and provide a flexible connector interface that enables multiple mounting orientation options.

Area airports receive grants
August 29, 2013
The Elkins-Randolph County Airport Authority and the Buckhannon-Upshur Airport Authority will receive $450,000 in Federal Aviation Administration funding for needed......
To kaleidoscope: In the event you did not know this, Rocky secured a federal grant to extend the runway and make other improvements at the Green Bank Observatory so his Lear Jet could land there, which is very close to his Pocahontas County farm.

Rocky says: "...They open our state to business opportunities and tourism, and provide a safe and convenient way for West Virginians to travel. This grant funding will make sure the state's airports remain safe and running so they can continue to facilitate ongoing air service throughout our state." What a startling revelation, I did not know until now that the Elkins and Buckhannon Airports have passenger and air freight service! What planet is this out-of- touch senator on anyway???? Boondoggles, pure and simple. IMO, it's simple: if these two airports are doing so well in providing this "vital service" to WV, why can they not stand on their own two feet and not accept government welfare. Either, the "vital service" aspect is not working properly or a lack of management exists. A private enterprise would have folded their tent the first year that they were in a negative financial position, but noooo, the gov't will continue to pump millions down these r

I originally bought this bag back in 2010, and proceeded to travel extensively across 4 continents, in every transportation system imaginable. This bag held up, and always looked like new throughout. In addition, as the bag softened, and as the amount of paper in it decreased, I was able to include critical overnight emergency supplies. The metal clasp on the shoulder harness broke on a rough bus ride recently, and I wrote to Customer Service about replacing the strap.They replaced the entire bag! I returned the old bag (with a tea in my eye -- for nostalgic reasons), and look forward to subjecting this new one to the same rigorous travel agenda (although I will be more careful with the metal clasp (or travel more comfortably, maybe?).

A fine bag, but beware of the cheap hardware used for zippers and zipper pulls. My wife has lost no less than 4 zipper pulls due to the poor quality metal used to fasten the leather pull to the zipper. Some have been replaced by Levenger and others by local luggage repair shops, but the design is bad.Also note that the zipper breaks down with repeated use. Currently the bag is out of commission as the main zipper no longer holds together.My wife is unhappy with the quality of this bag, which is unfortunate. It doesn't seem to stand up to everyday use.

Love the bag, not the zipper pulls.
By Lisa
from Washington DC
Comments about Levenger Majorca Briefbag:
I really liked the organization and style of this bag. Unfortunately, the zipper pulls fell off after a month or two. I brought it to the Levenger store, and the clerk was very nice and found an extra set for me, but these also fell off right away. So now, to open the zipper, I have to hold the zipper itself to slide the zipper open. I might look for a keyring of some sort to attach to see if I have better luck, but it probably won't look as nice as the same color leather pulls.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We appreciate your review for the Majorca Briefbag. We apologize that you have experienced quality issues with this item. Please be assured that I have relayed this information to our Quality Assurance Team for review. You will be contacted shortly to discuss a resolution.

I use my Briefbag every Sunday for church. My books are heavy, and I have to select which books I'll use that Sunday, although I should take them all. I worry about the weight. My books fit nicely in he Briefbag, and I mainly think about the leather strap attaching to the small leather loops and breaking. Only time will tell. I still think this is a wonderful, classy bag.

Love the zippers
By KathrynB
from Wingdale, New York
I purchased this to replace another Levenger bag that I'd had for years. I particularly love the ability to zip all compartments, since I travel on public transportation quite a bit.
Love this bag!
By JPOH
from Northeast Ohio
I purchased this bag to replace another Majorca Briefbag I had for about 10 years. Improvements in the organizational section are great. Accommodates my slim wallet, iPhone 6, 2 pens, business cards and keys. I also like the textured leather and contrast stitching that are new since I purchased my first bag. The main compartment holds a lot and retains its slim profile. Helps me keep organized and professional when I meet clients.

Understated elegance
By Pamtrey

I have this bag in red & enjoy it as much today as when I bought it. I also have the red leather portfolio--perfect match. The leather still looks good after daily use for at least 5 years. Great size, quality leather. Will buy another one if this ever wears out.
Great Upscale Briefbag!
By Sue29
from Undisclosed
Lovely leather, different pockets make it very functional, and I liked that the longer strap came off. A plus for me was the shorter handles so, unlike many bags, when I set the tote on the floor, the handles do not hang down and touch the floor. Seems more sanitary to me!

Talks between the automotive industry and
Washington continue as both sides try to come to an agreement that sees the
environmentalists in Washington and the Obama administration happy with the
CAFE standards over the coming years. The automakers are fighting for what they
consider a more realistic level of improvement in fuel economy they need to
build into cars each year.
Delegations from Michigan where much of the
automotive industry calls home have raised
concerns about the Obama administration's efforts to come to an
agreement. The delegation from Michigan wrote a letter to Washington claiming
that the proposed fuel economy standards aren't feasible. Automakers fear that
the costs of implementing the fuel economy increases will add enough to vehicle
prices to decrease sales and thereby force job
cuts in the automotive industry.
The letter written by the Michigan delegation
said, "With the Michigan unemployment rate standing at 10.5 percent, we
are unanimous in our concern about the consequences of an excessive proposal,
and we urge you to continue to work closely with U.S. manufacturers who have
the most at stake." The letter continued, "[Congress has urged the
White House to] sit down promptly and at one time with all three domestic auto
manufacturers and the United Auto Workers to work through an acceptable
So far, there has been no agreement between the
two parties. The proposed
fleet standard for 2025 is 56.2 mpg working out to about a 5% increase in fuel
economy each year from now until 2025. The Obama administration figures that
the cost of the tech needed to reach that kind of fuel economy will add about
$2,100 to the cost of each new vehicle. That number has been greatly contested.
Washington already took
a step back from the new fuel economy standards and the increase of
5% in fuel economy each year on light trucks by agreeing to hold trucks and
SUVs to only 3.5% increase each year from 2017 to 2021. Washington and
automakers are also trying to hammer out a deal on work trucks that would see less
stringent standards.

The only thing more fun than owning a rental is hitting yourself in the head with a brick. Until you pass out.
I know, it's a first world problem… but being a landlord is a special kind of crazy. Still, I won't sell it because I have this silly hope that the market will rebound, and I'll actually make a little money someday. Hahahahaha!!
Besides, I've owned my cozy condo for nine years and I'm attached to it. I loved living there. So when I wed Widdle and moved to Tinytown seven years ago, home sweet home became a rental.
Thankfully, in all that time I've had only two tenants, thanks to a combination of good luck, a good property manager and a good rental market.
There was one wee little problem with the first ones: The upstairs bathroom toilet kept clogging. Apparently the man of the house, who hailed from another country, thought American disposable razors could be disposed of in the toilet. He was quickly educated, and they were perfect renters to the day they departed (and left the place spotless!)
I've learned a few lessons as a landlord, some the hard way. These may help you, if you ever wake up one day and think, "Hey! I want total strangers living in my house."
Lesson # 1: Never, ever become attached to a rental. It's four walls and a floor, nothing more. In the early days I used to lie awake thinking, "Are they finger-painting the walls with wine? Will they be nice to my washer and dryer?" Eventually you learn…
Lesson # 2: No news is good news. Silence + timely checks = all is well.
Speaking of checks, I've written a bunch since the last tenants moved out. (They were a lovely couple who stayed even after lightning struck the unit and destroyed their TV days after they moved in. Now THAT was a mess. Try living in one county and getting utilities turned back on in another county after everything's shut off "on account of fire." That permit-and-fee dance will make you sweat.)
The latest checks were for having the interior repainted, and replacing the AC when it croaked. The only thing I hate more than spending money is being hot, so I couldn't ask the painter to work without AC in July. The good news: several thousand dollars later, the condo is refreshingly chilly and freshly painted.
Lesson # 3: You will not get rich renting property. Even if the rent covers your mortgage and HOA fees, which mine doesn't, you are required by law and karma to keep the place up, and that costs money. If you break even, you're a wildly successful landlord. Just keep repeating those magic words, "I'm building equity, I'm building equity…"
The best thing about renting is that you meet some really decent people. (My husband might disagree with that: He's had tenants who ran a clandestine dog-breeding operation and others who left at 2 a.m. owing back rent.)
In seven years I've never met any crazies, because the property manager takes care of all that. She does the credit and background checks and decides who's a good tenant, so I don't have to. Which brings us to…
Lesson # 4: Don't try this alone. You will go stark raving mad and end up in the nuthouse.
And I hear the rent there is pretty high.

Doctors categorize Chiari malformation into three types, depending on the anatomy of the brain tissue that is displaced into the spinal canal, and whether developmental abnormalities of the brain or spine are present.
Many people with Chiari malformation have no signs or symptoms and don't need treatment. Their condition is detected only when tests are performed for unrelated disorders. However, depending on the type and severity, Chiari malformation can cause a number of problems.
The more common types of Chiari malformation are:
In Chiari malformation type I, signs and symptoms usually appear during late childhood or adulthood.
Chiari malformation type II is usually noted by ultrasound during pregnancy. It may also be diagnosed after birth or in early infancy.
Although these types are less serious than the more rare pediatric form, type III, signs and symptoms still can be life disrupting.
Headaches, often severe, are the classic symptom of Chiari malformation. They generally occur after sudden coughing, sneezing or straining. People with Chiari malformation type I can also experience:
Less often, people with Chiari malformation may experience:
In Chiari malformation type II, a greater amount of tissue extends into the spinal canal compared with Chiari malformation type I.
The signs and symptoms can include those related to a form of spina bifida called myelomeningocele that nearly always accompanies Chiari malformation type II. In myelomeningocele, the backbone and the spinal canal haven't closed properly before birth.
Symptoms may include:
In one of the most severe types of the condition, Chiari malformation type III, a portion of the lower back part of the brain (cerebellum) or the brainstem extends through an abnormal opening in the back of the skull. This form of Chiari malformation is diagnosed at birth or by an ultrasound during pregnancy.
This type of Chiari malformation has a higher mortality rate and may also cause neurological problems.
If you or your child has any of the signs and symptoms that may be associated with Chiari malformation, see your doctor for an evaluation.
Because many symptoms of Chiari malformation can also be associated with other disorders, a thorough medical evaluation is important.

on March 6, 2013 - 12:34 AM
LOCKPORT – The Niagara County Legislature paused Tuesday to salute Chairman William L. Ross, who marked his 200th meeting on the dais.
Ross, 79, is the longest-serving chairman of the Legislature. He's now in his 10th year; no one else has served more than eight years at the helm.
"He's the most available, responsive public servant we know. He's the face of Niagara County," said Legislator Paul B. Wojtaszek, R-North Tonawanda. "He's a role model for public servants."
"I enjoy doing it," said Ross, a Wheatfield Conservative who first served as chairman in 1989, when he was a Democrat. Ross became chairman again in 2004 and has held the post ever since, except for 2007, when Clyde L. Burmaster, R-Ransomville, replaced him.
Also Tuesday, Legislator Kathryn L. Lance, the new chairwoman of the Economic Development Committee, presented the annual roundup of economic development activities.
Lance, R-Wheatfield, said the county's Economic Development Department and the Industrial Development Agency work effectively together as the Center for Economic Development.
"Two agencies, one mission: to utilize their individual strengths collectively to attract and grow high-quality businesses in Niagara County," Lance said.
Both agencies are headed by the same man, Samuel M. Ferraro.
The county department also operates a brownfields redevelopment program, funded through grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other sources. In 2012, National Grid granted the county $325,000 to help clean up the old Nike missile base in Cambria and to assess the cleanup needs of the former Baker Chemical Co. site in Somerset. More than two dozen sites are undergoing assessments, Lance said.
The county also has its own low-cost power program, Empower Niagara, which relays electricity provided to the county by the New York Power Authority under terms of the Niagara Power Project operating license.
Lance said the county last year opened an online resource called the Niagara County Project Development Portal, aimed at helping developers navigate the regulatory and approval processes they must face.
The Legislature on Tuesday appointed Wilson Supervisor Joseph A. Jastrzemski, a Republican, to a vacancy on the IDA board. He succeeds Patricia Dufour, who recently resigned to accept an appointment to an open seat on the Lockport Town Board.
The Legislature also passed a resolution by Jason A. Zona, D-Niagara Falls, supporting a tax break for the 50-store expansion of Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls. The Town of Niagara IDA is to vote on the deal next Wednesday.

Green Food Project: more government leadership needed
10 July 2012
The conclusions of DEFRA's Green Food Project have been published today - we believe the project is an encouraging first step, but the government urgently needs to show much more leadership to fix the 'broken' food system.
There's no denying the need for action on the food system. The government's own 2011 Foresight report on the future of food and farming gave a compelling account of the urgent need to redesign the food system, and pointed out that the current system is not only a major cause of the destruction of our natural world but is also causing health problems like obesity and heart disease, costing the NHS billions.
Simply trying to ramp up food production is a 'fool's errand'. The question is not how much food the UK should produce - it's not our role to feed the world - but how we address the underlying problems of our food system such as waste, access and diets.
As Mark Driscoll, head of our food team, says: "We support the collaborative approach taken by the Green Food Project as a - very small - first step. But what's really important is the need to take action so we move towards a more equitable and sustainable food system which addresses the twin global challenges of sustainability and hunger."
As we've said before, we mustn't shy away from the need to address difficult issues such as consumption and sustainable diets. Establishing a 'consumption forum' is a useful initiative, but it has to be much more than just a talking shop. It must report back with clear recommendations and a timetable for action from government, business and civil society.
It's vital that the Green Food Project brings 'added value impact' on the issues, and it's ambitious, radical and innovative in approach rather than re-hashing existing initiatives. Some of the project's recommendations are woolly in places and lack specific targets and milestones.
We really need to see a cross-departmental strategy on food, with clear commitments and a timetable to take action to look at the whole food system, from production, manufacturing and retail to food consumption.
Retailers and food manufacturers have a key role to play too in boosting sustainable diets, which must go beyond merely giving consumers information to help them make informed choices. They can be a major influence on consumption patterns - putting all the responsibility on consumers themselves is unrealistic.

Transport planners inside the state government are working on a fix for the crippling congestion along Military Road and to Sydney's northern beaches - by 2036.
Documents obtained using freedom of information laws show officials working on the next extensions to the city's train system see a northern beaches line as one of the first priorities after another harbour crossing is built.
All these projects remain years away. The government's main focus is the $8.3 billion north-west rail link to Rouse Hill.
But this new line will deliver tens of thousands of commuters every day to an already crowded Chatswood station, demanding the government starts work soon on another rail crossing for the harbour.
Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian has said the rail crossing will be the next project built after the north-west rail link is finished in about 2019. Her department has started hiring experts to work on plans for the crossing, which was also promised by Bob Carr's Labor government in 2005.
Transport for NSW documents show the second harbour crossing will also enable new lines to be built. South of the harbour, the line is being planned to first link with the Illawarra line to Hurstville and the Bankstown line to Cabramatta.
When those links are made, the Rail Futures Investigations document from Transport for NSW then envisages two extra lines.
North of the harbour, a line could be built under Military Road towards the northern beaches. South of the harbour, another rail track could be built to Revesby, to relieve congestion on the already-crowded East Hills line.
The trouble is the wait and the cost. According to the document, another rail crossing of the harbour has a price tag of at least $8 billion, and there is no indicative cost for the northern beaches extension.

Working With Kids – Why I Love It!Friday, September 9th, 2011
In 2008 nearly 100% of our business was with corporate clients. Our entire business was focused around that, and things were great!
Then the Great Recession hit.
When companies are laying off employees, the last thing they're interested in is hiring entertainment.
It was at that point we reorganized our business around the family and school market.
Until that point I had never worked too much with kids.

Fr. James Martin S.J., a Jesuit priest, met Hoffman when he came in to consult on the Labyrinth Theater Company's production of The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, which Hoffman directed in 2003. Martin then joined the company as a member, and later advised Hoffman on 2008's Doubt.
The two spent time together at New York City's Saint Ignatius Church, where Martin taught Hoffman how a priest celebrates Mass. It was in that same church on Friday that Martin presided at Hoffman's funeral Mass and delivered the homily.
Martin shares memories of his longtime friend – who died of an apparent drug overdose on Sunday – with PEOPLE.
"He was a lovely person, very down-to-earth," Martin says. "I learned about humility from him. He never put on airs. Whenever he talked about being in a movie, he would just say, 'Yeah, I got this job.' He would never say, 'I'm the lead.' Or 'I'm starring in Capote.' Then I'd read about it in the papers and learn what it was."
"He was really fun to be with. He was so intent on getting everything right. I remember he asked if a priest would have 3 x 5 cards during a homily. Small details. He listened to what I had to say, but he also knew his craft. When you watched him act, you got a sense of what the word 'vocation' really means. He was born to do this."
Once as they were entering St. Ignatius together, a woman recognized Hoffman as the scheming son in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, which was out at the time. "She said, 'I saw you in that movie last night and you were very, very bad!' And he said, 'Look, even before I step into church I'm getting guilt!' "
In his book, A Jesuit Off-Broadway: Behind the Scenes with Faith, Doubt, Forgiveness, and More, Martin says Hoffman was raised Catholic and attended confirmation classes near Rochester, NY.
"My parents were pretty liberal people who didn't talk about God much in the house," Martin quotes Hoffman as saying. "Those Masses really turned me off. Lots of rote repetition, pretty boring, and sometimes really brutal."
Later one of Hoffman's sisters became involved with an Evangelical Christian group, which appealed to him. Martin writes that Hoffman was attracted by "the palpable sense of community that he felt with his sister and her friends. Still, he held back from the sort of total commitment his sister had made. 'It was a little too much for me,' he said. 'And by that time I was more into partying and acting.'" While he fell away from church practice, Hoffman described himself in the book as a believer who prayed from time to time.
This week on his public Facebook page, Martin shared a photo of Hoffman with the cast of Judas Iscariot. Everyone who worked on the production had been given a sweatshirt with a quote from the play in which a character explains his definition of Heaven. In the photo, Hoffman, grinning broadly, is seen wearing his. It reads: "Eat Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes and Feel the Sun on Your Face."

JOHNSTOWN — The Windsor girls basketball team didn't look one bit rusty in its first game out of winter break.
The Wizards hustled on the floor, grabbing steals from Weld County foe Roosevelt and dominating on offense with nine players scoring in the game.
The Wizards overpowered the Rough Riders in every quarter Tuesday night to claim a 62-25 Class 4A Tri-Valley win.
Windsor coach Gary Perko said the Wizards played really well in their first game back from winter break.
"Coming off break, I thought we really played well defensively with our … full-court press," he said. "We passed the ball well, we ran the floor, also. It's a good game after a layoff over the break, so we were proud of the girls and what they did."
Windsor's defense held Roosevelt (0-1 Tri-Valley, 1-8 overall) to less than 10 points each quarter and in return, the Wizards (1-0, 7-3) scored double digits in every quarter. Windsor started with 6 of 10 field goals in the first quarter and finished with 10 of 15 in the fourth.
Perko said Windsor had just four days of practice during the break because of Colorado High School Activities Association rules but so did every other high school in the state.
Roosevelt coach Randy Longoria said coming off of break isn't an excuse for how his team played.
"Everybody's in the same situation … I certainly won't point to that as any kind of a pretext for flailing around the way that we did," he said.
The Rough Riders had eight total field goals in the game, two in each quarter. However, Longoria said Roosevelt's defense looked strong early on.
"I thought that we were stronger in the first half, at least defensively," Longoria said. "Right now for us, that's a big deal. We trailed by 12 or 14 at half and ended up losing by somewhere in the 40 range. … I thought that we were weaker in the second half."
The Rough Riders were just 2 of 5 from the field in the third and 2 of 14 in the fourth.
Windsor junior Alyssa Manicone finished with a game-high 18 points, making eight field goals and shooting 2 of 3 from the free throw line. Senior Sophie Griggs followed with 10 points on four field goals and a free throw.
Junior Ashley Jacox led Roosevelt with seven points, including 3 of 4 free throws. Senior Jordan Daniels added six points, including 3 of 4 free throws.
Perko said Roosevelt is a well-coached team and Longoria does a good job with them. Longoria said hopefully the Rough Riders learned a few things from the game.
Perko said the win was especially good for Windsor since it was the Wizards' first conference game.
"You always wanna win that first conference game, so it was a good win for us all the way around," Perko said. "Everybody played well; the whole team contributed so it was a good win for us."
WHS — Alyssa Manicone 8 2-3 18, Sophie Griggs 4 1-1 10, Hannah Thornton 4 0-0 8, Amanda Ward 3 2-2 8, Mackenzie Ruff 2 2-4 6, Tylee Pitner 2 0-0 4, Samantha Greene 1 2-2 4, Lauren Gustafson 1 0-0 2, Ella Rasmuson 0 0-0 0, Payton Hoffman 0 0-0 0. Totals 25 9-12 62
RHS — Ashley Jacox 2 3-4 7, Alyssa Minick 3 0-0 6, Jordan Daniels 1 3-4 6, Amanda Eidson 2 0-0 5, Ashley Ortiz 0 0-1 0, Kelsey Kammerzell 0 0-0 0, Hanna Jones 0 0-0 0, Robyn Decker 0 0-0 0, Monica Ramirez 0 0-0 0, McKenzie Bernhardt 0 0-0 0, Michelle Batista 0 0-0 0. Totals 8 7-11 25
3-point field goals — WHS 1 (Griggs); RHS 2 (Daniels, Eidson).
Total fouls — WHS 15; RHS 12 (Jacox fouled out).

Berkeley County parents of Clemson University students took note this week of a tuition change.
CU fees for tuition, housing and meal plans will increase by an average of less than 3 percent this fall, which will partially offset mandatory payroll, retirement and health insurance cost increases, the school announced.
The fees were approved by the universitys board of trustees last week.
The combination of additional state funding and ongoing efforts by the administration to operate as efficiently as possible has allowed us to minimize the impact of these mandatory cost increases on tuition, said board chairman David Wilkins.
In-state students will see an increase of 2.6 percent for general tuition or $171 per semester and pay a $25 per semester charge dedicated to facilities maintenance and renovations, bringing the total increase to 3 percent. Non-state residents will pay 2.8 percent more for general tuition or $ 432 per semester and a facilities fee of $55 per semester, for a total increase of 3.19 percent.
The fee increases, plus anticipated enrollment growth, will generate approximately $11 million, which will help cover anticipated cost increases of $15 million from a state-mandated pay raise for faculty and staff, increased employee retirement expenses and increased health insurance costs mandated by the federal Affordable Care Act.
In addition to partial funding for the mandatory pay raise, the state budget provided $1.2 million for programs to increase four-year graduation rates and provide paid, on-campus internships, programs which university President James P. Clements said will help hold down the cost of education in the long run and increase the value of a Clemson education.
We appreciate the states targeted investment in these two programs that will help students be more successful in the classroom and in the job market, he said. One of the best ways to hold down college costs is to get through in four years and one of the best ways to land a job after graduation is an internship that provides relevant, marketable job skills.
Student housing and meal plans will increase by an average of 2.3 percent, which will cover rising food and energy costs, insurance and retirement costs, facilities renovations and a 2 percent cost-of-living pay increase for staff mandated by the state.
Actual costs vary depending on housing assignments and dining plan selection. On average, the fee increase will add $47 per semester for housing and $50 per semester for dining plans.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
THURSDAY, May 2 (HealthDay News) -- Spring and summer send lots of people outdoors to enjoy the warm weather, but experts say that also brings an increase in cuts, scrapes and puncture wounds.
In the event of these types of injuries, doctors from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center advised the first step to take is to assess if the wound is serious. Taking immediate action can help injuries heal faster and prevent infection. They noted, however, most often these injuries will not require a trip to the emergency department.
"There's definitely an increase in these types of injuries at this time of year," Dr. James Guerrini, medical director of Wake Forest Baptist Health Urgent Care, said in a medical center news release. "Fortunately, most of them are minor and can be treated effectively at home."
Simple first-aid is often enough to treat cuts and scrapes from outdoor activities. When treating a minor wound, the American College of Emergency Physicians offers the following tips:
"Cuts and scrapes are common, so everybody should know how to deal with them," Guerrini added. "Proper treatment administered quickly can prevent infection, promote healing and otherwise keep something minor from becoming something major."
In some cases, however, emergency medical attention is required. The U.S. National Institutes of Health advised seeking urgent care for the following:
A doctor should also be consulted about wounds that do not appear to be healing after 48 hours or injuries that are red, swollen, pus-filled or show other signs of infection.
The experts noted that getting the tetanus vaccine can help protect against the serious bacteria-borne illness that infects the body through cuts and puncture wounds. They pointed out that protection against tetanus doesn't last a lifetime and adults should get a tetanus booster shot every 10 years.
