Egyptians began lining up at polling stations early Wednesday morning in the nation's first free elections since the downfall of Hosni Mubarak's 31-year regime in January 2011.
Officials are predicting a probable runoff on June 16-17 between the top two winners in the field of 12 candidates vying for the presidency.
The faceoff appears to be between two leading Islamists -- the Muslim Brotherhood's Abdel Moneim Abol Fotouh and Mohamed Mursi -- and the two secular front-runners, former Arab League head Amr Moussa and former prime minister and air force chief Ahmed Shafiq.
The winning candidate will be announced on June 21 and 10 days later, the interim government will hand over power to the new president.
With the Brotherhood and the Salafist al-Nour Party together holding a 70 percent majority in the upper and lower houses of parliament, some analysts are predicting an Islamist president could win the popular vote.
Since Mubarak's fall from power, the fate of Israel's 33-year peace treaty with Egypt has been bandied about, with Islamists threatening to re-examine which parts of the treaty might be left intact.
The most recent poll showed that more than 85 percent of Egyptians reject any normalization with Israel, while 90 percent prefer peace to war.

I'd like to write a small simple fileserver, and I've been advised
everywhere to look at ramfs.c.
I saw the src/cmd/ramfs.c, and I think I should be able to write mine
simpler... For example, I'd like to take advantage of the File/Tree
interface (createfile(), ...), having all the files of the fs in
I found also src/lib9p/ramfs.c, which looks pretty much as what I
want, but this doesn't tollerate remounting well at all (I guess).
I tried it with some modifications (to get it compiled) in plan9port
over linux (./ramfs -D -s test) and two "9p ls test" in a row makes
the server die.
Where can I see an example of a working fileserver which uses File,
Tree, and the related functions?
Thank you,

How did I end up here
curled up on this couch?
where did you learn such a bold wink
whisking me off to your bedroom?
mousey toy
this continent is lit by the holocaust
beneath my ribs (between my lips)
mousey toy
how did two tiny ribbons untie
and unfold into a lime tree?
then to darken a room for other men
a dove hit mid-flight turns away

I was wondering if you can explain the arousal of women before menstruating. I understand the arousal at the time of ovulation as a biological impulse for procreation but don't have a reasonable explanation for such arousal just before the onset of menstruation.
I always have a theory...
even if it's wrong...as my husband will tell you. My theory on this one is that our hormones are especially tumultuous at that time and so our judgment is a bit off. It's a time to be particularly clear about your goals.
One thing is for sure...it's an old phenomenon. Did you see this chapter from an old book by a doctor: http://www.reuniting.info/karezza_method_lloyd/womans_time_of_great_desire
What's your theory?
pre menstruation arousal
I have something to add to this. While studying natural birth control I learned of a phenomenon called "lunar ovulation". When the moon is in the same position as it was at a female's birth she can sometimes have an extra ovulation. THis is why a lot of women practising the rhythm method or on the pill get pregnant and can't understand why. For me, my so called "lunar return" happens just before my period (my cycle is very in sync with moon cycles). Hence I get very horny and lubricate as much as I do whilst ovulating. It's actually by watching out for "fertile mucus" (the clear stretchy type that helps sperm swim up the cervix) and any heightened arousal that I can know exactly when I'm ovulating. Very useful - girls should be taught this in high school...along with non orgasmic sex texts! Apparently some women can ovulate up to 3 times in a month. These are the ones that seem to have extraordinary fertility. This is also why doctors often can't predict birth dates correctly - they based conception dates around the one-ovulation-a-month. I think this is all very helpful knowledge on the non orgasmic path. There is so much we don't know about our bodies, particularly women.
Thanks for sharing that. You are right that we need to educate each other better. That's one advantage of having sex so openly discussed these days.

Passengers who witnessed the foiled terrorist attack aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 say they heard a loud pop and saw flames before a fellow flyer was able to subdue suspect Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab.
It was a frightening ordeal for passengers, who described the situation as being quick and full of commotion.
"There was a lady who was shouting 'What are you doing, what are you doing? And then we looked back there was some fumes there was some flames," passenger Elias Sawaz said in a video posted by CNN.
Law enforcement officials say al-Qaida instructed Mutallab to blow up the Northwest plane over U.S. soil. The 278 passengers aboard the plane were questioned by the FBI for about four hours after getting to Detroit, according to The Detroit News.
Several passengers said they heard a popping sound as Mutallab ignited the device that he planned the explosive. Others described seeing smoke and flames.
"It sounded like a firecracker in a pillowcase," said Peter Smith, a passenger from the Netherlands, told the Associated Press.
Multiple passengers say one man jumped to put out the flame while keeping Mutallab captive. Soon, other passengers rushed to help by using blankets and fire extinguishers to put out the flames, according to CNN. Fox 2 says one man was treated for minor injuries from helping to put out the fire.

- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides releases its first official image. I kind of assumed that by the fourth film, Captain Jack would be involved with grand spectacles at every turn, so it's good to see that he still has time to just hang out on the beach looking like he's wandered onto the set of a commercial for Corona.
- According to Bruce Greenwood, who played Christoper Pike in Star Trek, Star Trek II is set to begin filming this coming January.
- Capcom's Vice President of Strategic Planning and Business Development (long business card), Christian Svensson, still thinks that Hollywood could do with a few more Street Fighter movies. My love for making drinking games out of bad movies agrees with him.
- Adam McKaytells CHUD that his proposed involvement with an adaptation of Garth Ennis' covert-ops-sometimes-kill-superheroes comic The Boys hinges entirely on whether or not he can get Simon Pegg to star in it. Makes sense considering the main character of the comic, Wee Hughie, is based on Pegg.
- I love it when a film completely flies under my radar. Until watching this trailer, I had no idea that Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman had written a remake of the 2007 Israeli thriller, The Debt. Their attachment alone should have put it on my radar, but even if it hadn't been written by the Kick-Ass team, I should have taken notice of stars Sam Worthington, Helen Mirren and Tom Wilkinson. Alas it somehow completely escaped me. It's definitely got my attention now, though:

Sweden will enter the 2014 Winter Olympics with a chip on its shoulder after a disappointing bronze medal defeat three years ago in Vancouver.
The Swedes were the defending gold medalists in 2010, but they became the fourth team from the Scandinavian country to not medal since 1980 (nine Olympics).
Since the 2010 Olympics, Sweden has developed some of the finest young players in the world, especially on the blue line. Many of these stars will play important roles in the team's success in Sochi, where the Swedes will attempt to win their third ice hockey gold medal since the 1990s, which would be the most of any nation (Canada also has two).
Let's take a look at a roster projection for Sweden, predict the best lines/pairings and determine where it will finish in Sochi.

Okay, first I watched Jim Cramer's Mad Money show (and let you all know what I thought), which led me following his column on TheStreet.com about his 25 Rules of Investing. He has a new book too called Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World [3] and as a bonus to readers he's listing 25 rules on the site. I like his hard hitting, no BS attitude and I'll give you my summary and impression of his self-proclaimed twenty five rules. Can 25 rules really capture every rule of investing? No, definitely not. But I want to read what this dude has to say…
Rule 1 – Pigs Get Slaughtered [4]
How can you not like that title? This quote summarizes the entire rule: "Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered." When the market goes up, people make money. When the market goes down, people make money. It's when people get greedy that they get slaughtered. Making money is good but don't get so greedy that you're holding the bag when the bubble bursts.
Rule 2 – It's OK to Pay the Taxes [5]
This is a great, short post, about how you shouldn't hold onto a stock just because you don't want to pay short term capital gains. Some stocks are meant to be held short term and you buy them on that notion. "… no taxes are due when you sell at a loss."
Rule 3 – Don't Buy All at Once [6]
Jim Cramer supports a concept known as "dollar-cost averaging" which has recently come under fire [7] from various sources. This is one of those long debated concepts of buying over time and I don't know what is right, honestly. If the stock goes down, you average out your price to get the lowest than if you had blown it all in one shot. If it goes up, you could've made more by purchasing it in one fell swoop. Cramer says it's the way to go and honestly, there is probably not right answer. (like the little loophole I left myself in case someone does a mathematical analysis proving dollar cost averaging's correct)
Rule 4 – Buy Damaged Stocks, Not Damaged Companies [8]
Ever see someone readjust (ie. lower) profit expectations for the year or missing analyst estimates for a prior quarter and see their stock hammered? That's a damaged stock. An accounting scandal cause the damage? That's a damaged company. Take advantage of the overreaction, that's what this rule means. I'm a huge fan of this rule and if you've seen Merck or Pfizer lately, you'd be a huge fan too if you were able to take advantage.
Rule 5 – Diversify to Control Risk [9]
"If you control the downside, the upside will take care of itself." Diversify across different sectors to manage risk. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. This rule everyone pretty much understands.
Well that's the first five. As of right now, 18 of the 25 rules have been written so you can check them out if you want to by visiting this page [10]. Thus far nothing incredibly ground-breaking in terms of rules, nothing you probably haven't heard before, but you probably got a kick, as I did, out of how he said it. Pigs get slaughtered is a great way to say "don't be greedy," don't you agree? Disagree with some of these rules or how I feel about them? Let me know.
For the next five rules, read this article [11].

A new movement sweeps the globe
Many of us sensed that there was something new on Feb. 15, when millions around the globe marched against the U.S. government's drive to war on Iraq.
International notes
S. Africa: March to U.S. Embassy Some 4,000 people representing 60 organizations – including the governing African National Congress, the Communist Party of South Africa and the Congress of South African Trade Unions – brought a powerful anti-war message to the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria Feb. 19. Chanting, "No to war, yes to peace," the demonstrators rallied as a delegation including ANC Secretary-General Kgalema Motlanthe, United Democratic Movement leader Bantu Holomisa, Tshwane Mayor Smangaliso Mkhatshwa, COSATU President Willie Madisha, and SACP General Secretary Blade Nzimande went inside to present the Declaration of South Africans United to Stop the War in Iraq. The action is part of the Stop the War campaign.
Sharon presents new Greater-Land-of-Israel govt
TEL AVIV – Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will present his new government to the Knesset, Feb. 26, to ask for a parliamentary confidence vote. This follows the announcement on Feb. 24, that the Likud had signed an accord with the Shinui (Change) Party to join a Likud-led coalition, composed of Likud, Shinui and the clerical-Zionist, far right National-Religious Party (NRP). These three parties control together 61 of the 120-member Knesset.
Tripura, communists face terror and violence
TRIPURA, India – The Northeastern section of India consists of seven states: Tripura, Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. These states, known as the "seven sisters," are rich with beauty and natural resources. Tea and jute plantations, which extend throughout this lush land, are basic to the economy there. However for the last 14 years all of these states have been facing far-right extremism and terrorism.
Greek protesters bar NATO fleet from port
Thousands of protesters, organized by the Piraeus committee of the Greek Committee for International Peace and Détente, massed for two days of demonstrations against the presence offshore of the NATO Standing Naval Force of the Mediterranean. Protesters also targeted the Greek government and the presidency of the European Union with their slogans. Other initiators included Youth Action for Peace, the Action-Thessaloniki 2003 campaign, the left-led labor federation PAME, and dozens of other organizations.
Unions challenge Colombian president
International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) General Secretary Guy Ryder, on Feb. 7, asked Colombian President Alvaro Uribe to take action to protect human and trade union rights and to bring those who violate them to justice. With the spiraling of murders and death threats against them, Colombian trade unions are critical of the purely security-oriented policy of their government.
Bolivians demand presidents resignation
Thousands of Bolivians heeded the call of trade unions for a 48-hour general strike Feb. 17-18, to demand the resignation of President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada. They were protesting the government's handling of the country's worsening economic crisis, and protesting the deaths of at least 22 people in protests last week.
France, Germany propose alternative to war
CHICAGO – Indicating the widening gulf between the Bush administration and much of the nation and world over the administration's drive to war, a leading Republican senator is saying the U.S. should let Iraq weapons inspections work.
Peace leader: Most Israelis want peace
PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil – Most Israelis want a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, and the Bush administration's policies are "very unhelpful," Galia Golan, a leader of Peace Now, Israel's oldest and largest mass peace movement, told the World.
International Criminal Court to open
The International Criminal Court (ICC) will begin operations on March 11, despite the Bush administration's worst fears. Under the Clinton administration the United States had signed the Rome Statute, which formally began preparations for the formation of the ICC. But over a year ago under the direction of the Bush administration, the U.S. pulled out of the treaty.

Indio police were investigating a deadly shooting Sunday after being called to a two vehicle car crash at Calhoun Street just north of Date Avenue.
The call at 2:45 p.m. was originally for a traffic collision, but officers found a man injured in a shooting.
Indio Police Department spokesman, Ben Guitron, said there appeared to have been some sort of confrontation and then one person was shot by another person in the other vehicle.
A suspect description was vague, police only saying a hispanic man fled the scene. Police were still looking for him Sunday evening, but had no motive for the crime.
They did not know what connection he may have had to the original collision.
Indio police did not believe any Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival goers were involved. It appeared to be local residents.

Millcreek to not challenge census population count
Millcreek Township officials disputed population totals posted for the second largest community in Erie County when results of the last census were released.
Millcreek saw the largest gain of people between 2000 and 2010 out of any municipality in northwestern Pennsylvania, but the township believed the U.S. Census Bureau still undercounted its residents by about 2,000 people.
Millcreek strongly considered challenging the bureau, and still has until June 1 to officially file, but officials are now saying they will not fight the population count.
The township sought to potentially challenge out of concerns that undercounting the population could cost Millcreek up to $250,000 in funding over the next decade. Population numbers help determine how much federal and state money is allocated to local governments.
The census is recorded in municipalities nationwide every 10 years. The next count will be done in 2020.
Supervisor Brian McGrath said the township would have partly based a challenge on the increase in single-family homes and multidwelling apartment complexes built in Millcreek between 2001 and 2010.
McGrath said at least 100 new units were constructed each year during that decade.
Municipalities, however, cannot challenge population totals based on the construction of residential units. Municipalities can challenge population counts if they believe residential housing units were skipped or recorded in an incorrect township.
When asked if he believes the 2010 census still undercounted Millcreek's population total, McGrath recently said "absolutely."
"We know a lot of people didn't respond to the census. We believe we have more people than what (the census) said," McGrath added. "For the next census, the township will need to be more involved with the census takers to make sure all the numbers are correct."
Millcreek's population has increased in every census since 1930.
Judy Zelina, Millcreek's director of public services, said she could see why the township strongly contemplated challenging the Census Bureau.
"Looking at our history, and the way we've grown, it seems to me we've had a big influx in residents in the last 10 years," Zelina said.
Census data showed Millcreek's 2010 population count at 53,515, an increase of 2.6 percent, or 1,386 people, from the 2000 total of 52,129.
Millcreek's population increased by nearly 7,000 people, or 14.3 percent, in the 2000 census compared with the 1990 count.
McGrath said township officials had anticipated Millcreek's population total in the 2010 census to surpass 55,000.
A revised total to 55,000 people for Millcreek would have had a significant impact on the amount of state funding the township receives, McGrath said, citing about $25,000 a year over 10 years.

Hometown: Newtown, PA
Current School Year: Senior
Anticipated year of Graduation: June 2013
Major: Architectural Engineering – Mechanical Systems Concentration
Please describe your study/research interests and why.
My area of study is regarding the mechanical systems of buildings. These are the systems that heat and cool the building. I love the challenge that HVAC provides the engineer. Whether it is trying to guide ductwork and piping through a building or dealing with constantly changing loads, HVAC design provides all sorts of challenges that I find interesting.
Please describe your co-op experience. Include where you worked, a brief description of your duties, and what you learned.
Inspired Systems – Millersville, MD - My main responsibilities were new product research and on site installations. This company challenged me to think outside the box in solving engineering problems.
Loring and Associates – NY, NY – At Loring I worked on calculating heating and cooling loads of buildings in computer software to determine sizing of HVAc units. I also worked heavily in AutoCAD to design the air and water side distribution of the HVAC systems.
KlingStubbins – Philadelphia, PA – At Kling I worked heavily in MicroStation and Revit to design the HVAC systems in mission critical buildings. I also reviewed shop drawings to ensure the building was being built according to specification while making site visits for visual conformation.
Please describe any extracurricular activities that you participate in.
I am currently the President of the DAC Pack, Drexel's official spirit section. I help run Midnight Madness as well as game day activities for all Drexel Basketball games. The DAC Pack also coordinates the CAA road trip to Richmond.
I am also the President of Men's club volleyball where I run practices as well as schedule games and tournaments.
Explain what you would like to do after graduation.
After graduation I hope to work in a job that allows me to get hands on experience in the field. I would like to be either a project manager or owners representative to get a better understanding of the construction side of the business.
Explain what you like about Drexel's Engineering Program.
The Drexel engineering program really gives the student to explore and find the area they are most interested in. Classes in the department expose students to many different disciplines with in CAEE department, allowing students to see what our department covers. Couple these classes with the outstanding co-op program students are able to follow their passion in work and in the classroom.

"Embodiment and Location"
The physical self often serves as a locus for identity formations (and for concepts of "post-identity"), a site for the exercise of power, a place for the interaction of myriad discourses. That embodied self also exists within and between numerous locations: geographic and social place, transnational movement and migration, political and institutional spaces, popular and avant-garde discourses. This panel invites papers addressing the problem or the promise of embodiment and location in post-1870 American literatures and cultures ("literatures" defined broadly). Issues of ability/disability, representation, technology, race, gender, sex, sexuality, class are especially encouraged. Please send abstract of 250 words by April 21 to:

Catching Up with
ABC (Wednesdays, 9 p.m. ET)
The fact that Gilligan's Island star Bob Denver died as the second season of Lost began has no significance. Right? Or will it someday be revealed that the castaways of Lost existed in some evanescent fragment in the mind of the actor—that the disastrous island crash of Flight 815 splintered off the SS Minnow's three-hour tour? Or maybe it's a scenario being pitched with saliva-spewing urgency by the Ancient Mariner to a studio assistant. Lost is true to its title: You're always tantalizingly disoriented, hunting the path to an answer. Last season some French lady, caked with dirt and living on the island for years, emerged like a longed-for prophet. But she was crazy. She seemed to have been sucking napalm fumes from a bong.
Anything goes on Lost. For that matter, anything comes. In the baffling-fascinating new season, the plot continues to be as densely knotted as a banyan tree. The survivors have recently begun exploring a bunker that may or may not be a doomsday trap. A second set of survivors has turned up, including Michelle Rodriguez with a curled lip that could scare back the tide. And the digits 4-8-15-16-23-42 keep recurring. They started as the lottery ticket that made an unhappy millionaire out of slacker Hurley Reyes (Jorge Garcia).
This is what tugs us along, these teasing threads. But the audience's deepest emotional connection comes from flash backs of lives pre-crash. They're easily the best segments of the show, or just about any TV drama. I've never cared for the zealous manliness of John Locke (Terry O'Quinn, with his cold pigeon eyes). But on the Oct. 5 episode we saw Locke back when he still had enough hair to manage a comb-over. He was pathetically vulnerable as he tried to choose between loving a decent woman and hounding the father who'd taken his kidney. Yes, kidney. A crazy story, but somewhere on Lost the truth will be found. Won't it?
CBS (Wednesdays, 9 p.m. ET)
Looking as if his life had permanently soured after biting into an especially bilious pickle, Mandy Patinkin gives a dourly amusing performance as Jason Gideon, a brilliant FBI behavioral analyst working with a team of profilers. One imagines Gideon, who quotes everyone from Churchill to Rose Kennedy, having hours of grim, thin-lipped fun Googling serial killers. It's not clear how seriously Patinkin takes the whole thing—it's the same actorly mystery that makes David Caruso's whispery bitterness such a kick on CSI: Miami. Minds doesn't bring anything new to the genre, and so far it hasn't exploited Thomas Gibson's damp, intelligent presence as a colleague. But the mysteries have nice touches: A black-headed grosbeak was the tipoff in one episode. Mr. Sour Pickle spotted it.
ABC (Fridays, 9:30 p.m. ET)
This hasn't been a great season for new sitcoms—Everybody Hates Chris is virtually the only one in which the execution cleanly fits the concept—but Hot Properties has a loose, engaging silliness. When a show's second episode is about a pet chicken that chokes to death after mistaking a bath-oil bead for a kernel of feed—well, you take heart, that's all. Properties is set up along the lines of Sex and the City, a giddy fashionista party about sexy Manhattan real estate agents, but the tone is closer to that camp hoot Designing Women. In the ensemble, the standout is Nicole Sullivan as sex-hungry middle-aged Chloe. She's the sort of sitcom character who wraps up a scene by chiming in with a put-down, but Sullivan has a weird little shiveriness that gives her lines a soft zing.
PBS (Oct. 23, check local listings)
Rupert Everett has the lean height and falcon profile of a traditional Sherlock Holmes, but he's also an ex-model with an excellent set of shoulders and good hair: Would you really want him in a hunter's cap and Inverness cape? Instead he wears nicely tailored suits and moves through the sinister tendrils of London fog with the casual decadence of a man who has known the runway. It's as if Holmes's creator hadn't been Arthur Conan Doyle but Tom Ford. But Everett's take is original, and works quite well.
What's weak is the mystery—written by Allan Cubitt—about a fetishistic killer who stuffs stockings down the throats of Belgravia debutantes. Holmes's reasoning skills aren't best applied to irrational kink.
Lifetime (Oct. 24 and 25, 9 p.m. ET)
In this two-part miniseries, four hours across two nights, Mira Sorvino is a New York City detective trying to bring down an international prostitution ring of such large, heartless scope that a cargo crate filled with young girls can be left in broad daylight on a noisy dock in Manila. No one hears the whimpers for help from inside. The show is big in scale, something like the British drug epic Traffik (which became the movie Traffic). It jumps from Kiev to Prague to New York to the Philippines, with one poor young woman after another roped in, beaten, raped and sexually enslaved.
It's an awful story, and it deserves a better production than this. The story strands don't pull together tightly enough, and Sorvino, who's the moral center, isn't exactly Helen Mirren. Her voice has a fidgety lilt that just doesn't sound right. She needs to get back to comedy.
NBC (Fridays, 9 p.m. ET)
Three Wishes is about sowing seeds of kindness that blossom into a garden of good feeling, but it can feel like a flower show dusted with endless sprayings of industrial fertilizer. Giant petals keep unfolding, heavy with grateful tears. It's exhausting. Amy Grant and her team visit a small community and, like a Blue Fairy facing a town hall of Pinocchios, take requests. The locals are all kind and deserve every red cent spent on improving their lives, but you're always aware of the producers' huffing and puffing. Assisting a family who lost their home to Katrina, the Wishes team take them from Houston (they'd already been evacuated) back to New Orleans's Superdome, then fly them to a prim new home in Brookings, S. Dak. There the family is made to watch footage of their ruined old house before being presented with salvaged mementos that survived the flood. How about just letting them sleep?

Shaun Cassidy
Nearly three decades after his stint on the pop charts, former teen idol Shaun Cassidy, 47, is now the creator and executive producer of ABC's sci-fi hit Invasion.
HOW DID YOU GO FROM POP TO THE PARANORMAL? My mother [The Partridge Family's Shirley Jones] loves horror. I think the perception of me as a kid was the boy next door. Maybe I lived next door, but I was reading Stephen King.
DO YOU STILL DA DOO RON-RON? Only when I'm drunk. I sing around the house. I love to sing, but I don't like being in the music business.
ARE YOUR IDOL DAYS OVER? I get 40-year-old women coming up to me all the time. It's like they're meeting Santa Claus. It always felt like it was a temporary thing for me...but if you were a poster on their ceiling, they never forget.

It's insanely easy to drink.
Particularly the Pinnacle brand.
No burn at all... just really smooth yummy whippy creamy flavor!
I think it comes in Chocolate Whipped to.
It's like they WANT me to be an alcoholic?
I have to stay away from that stuff.
And thanks be to ALL THE GODS that that shiz was not in existence back when I was really young!!! :eek:[/QUOTE]
Yes to all of that, esp. brand. Smirnoff's is not as good. Hmmm what would chocolate whipped be good in? You could do a twist on black/white Russians with this stuff (my favorite drinks).

Question: In adults with fractures of the distal radius, is surgical treatment effective for improving clinical outcome?
Data sources: Studies were identified by searching 6 databases; hand searching conference proceedings; and scanning reference lists.
Study selection: Randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials were selected if they compared surgical interventions with conservative interventions or other surgical interventions in adults with fracture of the distal radius.
Data extraction: Data were extracted on patient characteristics, intervention, and outcomes (including functional and anatomic outcomes and complications). The quality of studies was assessed.
Main results: 44 studies (3193 mainly female and older patients with 3197 fractures) with 23 different comparisons met the selection criteria, with follow-up ranging from 6 weeks to 10 years. Summarizing the outcomes was impeded by the poor quality and variation in study methods, interventions, patient characteristics, and outcomes. Some anatomic and functional outcomes (Table) were better in the external-fixation group (7 studies), the pins-through-fracture group (4 studies), and the bone-scaffolding group (2 studies) than in the plaster-cast group; differences in function for open reduction and internal fixation or bone graft or substitute relative to plaster cast are not reported here because studies had excessive losses to follow-up or results were no longer significant when the random-effects model was used. External fixation and percutaneous pinning led to fewer patients with redisplacement that required secondary treatment than did a plaster cast; external fixation led to more patients with pin-track infection than did a plaster cast (Table). The evidence did not show clear superiority for 1 surgical intervention over another.
Conclusions: In patients with distal radial fractures, heterogeneity exists for patients, mechanism of fracture, and fracture type, and results are inconsistent. Some benefit in reduced deformity, reduced malunion, and better functional outcome is seen for external fixation and percutaneous pinning relative to plaster cast, but who will benefit sufficiently is unclear.
Surgical interventions for fracture of the distal radius*
*Bone scaf = bone scaffolding; Ext fix = external fixation; PC = plaster cast; PF = percutaneous fixation; PSF = pins supporting fracture; PTF = pins through fracture. Other abbreviations defined in Glossary; RRR, RRI, NNT, NNH, and CI calculated from data in article using a random-effects model.

Lydia DePillis: The GOP Can't Afford to Ignore Cities AnymoreRoundup: Media's Take
Lydia DePillis is a staff writer for The New Republic.
...CONSERVATIVES, BY NOW, should be very comfortable with adapting to changing demographics. They've done it before. Back in the 1960s, inner cities were on the decline, their white residents high-tailing it for the urban fringe. Democrats responded with a war on poverty. Richard Nixon, by contrast, saw an opening.
"[Republicans] recognized the same problems. They didn't see them as something to be solved, but something to be exploited," explains Princeton University history professor Kevin Kruse. Kevin Phillips' seminal 1969 book The Emerging Republican Majority outlined a "southern strategy" to wrest white people away from the Democrats—by demonizing the black inner cities. "If you look at who he's talking to, it's a 'suburban strategy,'" says Kruse.
In the 1970s, Nixon followed up with a battery of policies designed to re-segregate the American landscape, most effectively through Supreme Court nominees who ruled against busing for educational diversity and upheld discriminatory zoning ordinances. The approach was validated in 1980, when Ronald Reagan won the presidency without carrying a single major city. From then on, the GOP and cities seemed to be antithetical: A party that believes government is the problem won't find support where people rely on government for everyday services....

You'll encounter several kinds of EQs in both hardware or software environments so it's important to understand the various EQ types and which is best suited to address whatever miserable mistake you're trying to fix, mix-wise.
Shelving. Applies equal gain change for all frequencies above/below a certain frequency. These can be useful for general shaping — adding brightness or beef to a sound.
Lowpass/highpass. With lowpass EQ, frequencies above a certain point, commonly referred to as the cutoff frequency, are attenuated while frequencies below the cutoff pass through unimpeded, hence the name "lowpass." Likewise, highpass EQ attenuates frequencies below the cutoff, allowing frequencies above it to pass through untouched.
The rate at which frequencies are attenuated is called the slope, and is represented as a ratio (e.g.,12dB/octave). (See Figure 1).
Peak. The peak EQ boosts frequencies at, and around, the center frequency. This type of EQ allows you to accentuate or emphasize a limited slice of the frequency spectrum without dramatically affecting the general tonal quality. Often, you can control how wide or narrow the "slice" is (called bandwidth), for broader or more focused changes. (See Figure 2.)
Notch. Similarly, notch EQ is used to "notch out" or cut a narrow band of frequencies. Use this to reduce computer noise, ground hum, and so on. It can also help get rid of ringing drum tones, or take the "point" off electric guitars, snares, and other piercing mid-frequency sources.
In most DAWs, peak and notch EQs are often combined as one type, giving you the choice of cutting or boosting from one EQ.
Parametric. Parametrics are so called because they offer parameters for adjusting the EQ's frequency, bandwidth, and gain. Most DAWs combine several EQ types into one "multi-band" parametric EQ (e.g., 4-band, 5-band, and so forth), where you can choose the type (lowpass, peak/notch, high-shelf) for each band.
Fixing Common Mix Problems
The combination of tracks and the way they interact can cause frequency ranges to build up, resulting in a dull or uneven mix (e.g., too boomy). Additionally, some tracks may "jump out" at certain frequencies.
A well-balanced mix where no single instrument or frequency range consumes too much sonic space may require a fair amount of nipping and tucking. Often, individual tracks need to be massaged to blend better with others, which requires close scrutiny to hear problem areas. To zero-in on these offending frequencies, it helps to use a peak EQ with considerable gain (10dB or more) and sweep this across the frequency spectrum. You won't use this EQ in the final mix, but as you sweep the center frequency, you'll be able to hear which frequencies help define the track's tone, and which ones are problematic.
Experiment with this to find the "center" of various instruments — it's an exercise that will pay off big when you run up against mixes that are:
Muddy. Possible cause: Build-up of low and low-mid information as a result of the proximity effect from cardioid mics, too many tracks with extended low-frequency material, or poor room acoustics.
Solution: Highpass EQ on any track that isn't supposed to sit in the low frequency range (percussion, vocals, guitars, strings) to make room for bass guitar and kick drum. Start somewhere between 100–200Hz, with a semi-steep slope. You can sometimes get away with a higher center frequency, provided you use a more gentle slope, which will make the EQ less obvious, but still clear out space in the low end.
Possible cause: Similar-sounding instruments competing for space in the midrange.Solution: Separate similar tracks by using peak EQs to emphasize different frequencies, while cutting others, so that sounds complement and fill in around each other. On double-tracked guitars, for example, try boosting one at around 1.5kHz, cutting at 600Hz, and rolling off some of the highs starting at 3kHz. Conversely, reduce the other track by 2–3dB around 1–1.5kHz, and use a high-shelving EQ starting at around 3–4kHz to bring out more of its highs. This will allow both tracks more space, and create a better blend.
Dull.Possible cause: Midrange-heavy tracks masking and crowding high-frequency material (strummed, driving acoustic guitars, tambourines and shakers, vocals).
Solution: Apply lowpass starting around 5–6kHz on tracks that don't need to "sparkle," making space for high-frequency tracks to shine. Additionally, if mid-frequency tracks are still getting in the way, you can try cutting around 1–2kHz. You can also use shelving EQ (1–2dB of gain) to brighten similar tracks, such as grouped background vocals and guitars.
Shrill.Possible cause: High frequencies being accentuated by one or more tracks.
Solution: Apply lowpass with a gentle slope to strident, overly bright tracks. If this isn't enough, try making a slight dip in the 4–5kHz range.
Piercing. Possible cause: Ringing drum tones; resonant frequencies from room acoustics picked up by the microphone, or from the instruments and vocalists themselves.
Solution: Notch EQ with narrow bandwidth to reduce or completely cut out unwanted frequencies.
During mixdown, EQ shouldn't be limited to track-specific changes — feel free to make more "global" tonal changes, too. I often use EQ sparingly to treat the overall mix. I may use a little high-shelving starting at around 7–8kHz to add "air," or cut out some of the low-mids with a gentle dip around 400Hz, which also helps to de-mud.
However, if you make radical EQ changes to an entire mix, it's likely there's something wrong on a micro level. Go back and solo each track, paying close attention to whether anything is adding too much bass or high frequency material, then adjust accordingly.
With practice, you'll reach the point of quickly recognizing EQ-related problems, and how to fix them. Just remember to use your ears, not your eyes, and whenever possible, reference on several systems. This will help uncover any trouble spots, and ensure that your mix translates well to other playback systems. Your listeners will thank you for it.

When it comes to cloud business, London, Central and Eastern England firms are adventurous first adopters, demanding 'always on' connectivity to take advantage of cloud computing and gain a competitive edge. This new research comes as Sage launches Sage One Accounts Extra, an online accounting service for small businesses that want to manage international trade easily, control how they share accounts data with trusted colleagues and get real insights into their finances and future with business forecasts.
Far from sitting in dusty paper-filled offices, accountants are already pretty computer-savvy when it comes to managing clients online. Over a third (35%) are investing in online business software and offer remote or mobile services. With their feet firmly on the ground, they're adopting a deft mix of traditional and hybrid online working practices to keep pace with changing business models. Yet with 73% of accountants relying mainly on purely desktop software, there is a huge opportunity given the scale and appetite revealed by businesses who have high hopes to be managing their accounts through cloud solutions in the near future.
New research from Sage UK of more than 400 business owners, directors and decision makers reveals that although business are happy to head online and are familiar with the cloud from Facebook and Twitter, when it comes to business software there is reluctance amongst their accountants to adopt online time and money-saving processes as rapidly as their clients.
London (39%), Central and Eastern England firms (39%) are the 'pioneers' looking to invest online in the next year but Glasgow is chasing close on their heels (33%) as an emerging online hub with decision makers initially driving payroll (65%) and CRM (58%) online. The barriers preventing more businesses moving their processes online include security (41%), a lack of perceived technical experience within the business (20%), and simply not having had the time – 23% claimed to have just not gotten around to it yet – indicating that the cloud is on the horizon.
Business managers in the North and Scotland are more cautious when it comes to the bottom line – 61% in each area say they'd 'sleep better at night' when their processes and data are in the cloud. London's Tech City is leading the business services revolution and is more au fait with cloud (81% understand it and 39% plan to invest more in the next twelve months) while Manchester is more of a science and innovation centre using and claiming less understanding of cloud services (74% understanding and 30% planning to invest).
Despite seeing the cost-saving benefits and high awareness of cloud computing, UK accountants are slow on the take up, with the vast majority (73%) still working from desktop software despite 51% of accountants receiving interest from clients in collaborative online working. 60% of businesses claim to not be able to work with their accountants whenever they wish.
Glasgow business leaders (33%) have their eye on the cloud and have higher expectations on its savings potential which they are keen to explore, while London is close behind. While one third of business owners in Central and Eastern England see a move to the cloud as a way of reducing office red tape (39% want to invest in the next twelve months), decision-makers in Manchester are happier with the status quo, sticking with desktop computing for now (32%).
The Sage research highlights that UK business is becoming more mobile and flexible than ever in a bid to secure a competitive advantage, with 62% of business responders requiring the ability to access their information and apps on-the-go over the internet at any time.
"Technology is empowering us with new ways to work and making us infinitely more connected," commented Paul Tooth, Managing Director, Sage Accountants' Division. "Online software helps people work in more like they've always wanted to, and our research shows accountants are looking for new ways of working more securely, more closely and more productively with their clients, but may benefit from moving at the speed their clients are pushing for."
Sage One Accounts Extra is built on a global platform with added functionality that enables customers with enhanced forecasting tools, sophisticated cash flow management, better functionality of invoicing, bank integration, multi-currency support and payments integration, and importantly, support on all UK & Ireland VAT schemes. All of this, in addition to what Sage believes is the most intuitive and appealing user experience and interfaces on the market today, and all supported with Sage's unrivalled free 24-hour support, on the phone, via email or on the web, giving business users and accountants access to Sage's unrivalled infrastructure of professional expertise and software support whenever they need it.
"Sage One Accounts Extra helps you make the right decision for you and your practice without compromise, moving clients into the world of online software at a pace that is right for you both," Paul concluded.
Mr Michael Tolan, Director at Langcliffe Ltd. Accountants said of the new functionality: "I am excited by the possibilities Sage One Accounts Extra offers as I am a great believer in the cloud. The extended reach means I'll deliver a faster, higher-quality service to clients whilst saving them time and cutting down on less strategic meetings and journeys. I care passionately about great client service and this will help me retain and move clients to the vendor whom I regard as leading the market."

Picture of the Month Quiz
A 2-month-old, previously healthy infant developed partial seizures, eventually controlled by anticonvulsants. Results of imaging studies and metabolic workup were normal. He was born full-term after an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery, and development had been normal. At age 5 months, he suffered a left-sided hemiparesis due to a right anterior cerebral artery stroke. At age 11 months, he presented with a right-sided hemiparesis and focal right-sided seizures from a left middle cerebral artery stroke. Results of cardiologic evaluation, including echocardiography, were normal. Extensive hematologic workup and genetic screening for a hypercoagulable state were unrevealing. Magnetic resonance imaging and concurrent magnetic resonance angiography prompted conventional 4-vessel angiography (Figure).

I'm with you twinder. If, and I believe it does, IPad's increase a child's interest in education, by all means, sign me up as someone willing to help pay for them. We live in a technological world now. It's about time it starts taking a bigger role in education.

I have three high school students at MHS. They don't play games, they learn. The Ipads are a great tool and they are saving money at MHS by eliminating paper and other supplies. The district has the ability to block several sites like Facebook while the Ipads are linked to the school's network. I was skeptical at first when they were proposed but, I can see how much they have saved money and increased the learning of the kids at MHS. I applaud the district for taking such a controversial step. And, by the way, MHS is consistently one of the top schools, academically, every year.
