This is the second issue of this journal that was introduced during the current year. This number contains three original articles. The first deals with the optical recording of heart sounds; the second discusses gallop rhythm from the same standpoint, and the third shows the effect that may be produced on the electrocardiogram by suspending the heart in saline solution.
A case is reported, with a discussion of a shifting cardiac rhythm in connection with Cheyne-Stokes' respiration. This is followed by a short discussion of the causes of cyanosis in Ayerza's disease. The remainder of the book is devoted to abstracts of articles from the current literature.
The journal is well printed on an excellent quality of paper, and the illustrations are remarkably clear. It is probable that Spanish is less widely read than it should be. Apparently realizing this fact, the editors have added to each of the articles

Why We Have Judicial Review
Mary Sarah Bilder
Boston College - Law School
Yale Law Journal Pocket Part, Vol. 116, p. 215, 2007
Boston College Law School Research Paper No. 132
This paper accompanies Mary Sarah Bilder, The Corporate Origins of Judicial Review, 116 Yale L.J. 502 (2006), in which the author argues that the origins of judicial review lie not in the expansion of judicial power but rather in the prior practice of commitment to limited legislative authority.

INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana is poised to become the first right-to-work state in more than a decade after the Republican-controlled House passed legislation on Wednesday banning unions from collecting mandatory fees from workers.
It is yet another blow to organized labor in the heavily unionized Midwest, which is home to many manufacturing jobs. Wisconsin last year stripped public unions of collective-bargaining rights.
The vote came after weeks of protest by minority Democrats who tried various tactics to stop the bill.
The House voted 54-44 Wednesday to make Indiana the nation's 23d right-to-work state. The measure is expected to face little opposition in Indiana's Republican-controlled Senate and could reach Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels' desk shortly before the Feb. 5 Super Bowl in Indianapolis.

Clackamas Industrial Area
Year Formed: 1984; amended in 2001
Area: 2,173 acres when first formed; approximately 1,187 acres after amendment.
Purpose: To reduce traffic congestion, control flooding and improve drainage, promote economic development and create new jobs for local residents
Assessed Value: Original assessed value in 1984 of $300 million for 2,173 acres. After returning $253.5 million to general tax rolls and reducing the size of the area to 1,187 acres, the current assessed value is approximately $320 million
Overview: The industrial area is a regional distribution, warehousing and wholesale trade center. The Clackamas Industrial Area collected tax increment financing (TIF) revenues through FY 2005-06.
Effective July 1, 2006, the Development Agency terminated its tax increment levy, adding the assessed value to the tax rolls and making significantly increased revenues available to overlapping taxing districts. The Agency is using the remaining funds to complete plan projects.
A major amendment approved in December 2001 reduced the size of the Clackamas Industrial urban renewal area by approximately 50% from 2,173 acres to 1,187 acres. This reduction was possible because the planned urban renewal projects in this area were completed. The result was substantial additional tax revenues for the districts that levy taxes in the urban renewal areas. In addition, the amendment added the Sunrise Corridor project to the plan, which allows urban renewal funds to be used for the local match needed to advance this project.
In 2007, the Clackamas Industrial Area Urban Renewal Plan was amended. The amendment resulted in two additions:
- 40 acres along Southeast 172nd Avenue from Highway 212 to the Clackamas/Multnomah County line, and
- Improvements to Southeast 172nd Avenue as a new project.
Project Plan and Report (PDF)
Major Activities include:
- Sunrise Corridor
- Environmental documentation necessary to qualify for federal funding of the project
- Funding for needed environmental work and right-of-way acquisition.
- Selection of a project manager
- Nine parcels acquired through preemptive right-of-way acquisition and plans to acquire additional parcels.
- Purchase of a 31.77-acre former Superfund site that provides important right-of-way for the Sunrise Corridor. The property, located east of 82nd Avenue and north of Mather Road, has undergone soil remediation and capping, and groundwater remediation. The Agency is leasing the property until it is needed for development of the Sunrise Corridor.
Completed Projects
Highway 212
Completed in fall 2000, this project improved the function and appearance of the industrial area between southeast 98th Avenue and 135th Avenue along Highway 212.
Jennifer Extension/Southeast 135th Avenue
Construction completed in fall 2002.
135th Avenue
Improvements accommodate circulation patterns necessary for local access and the Sunrise Corridor.
Evelyn Street Overpass at 82nd Drive
Provides direct access to the Gladstone interchange on I-205 and reduces congestion on Highway 212.
102nd Improvements and Lawnfield/Mather Connection:
Improve 102nd Avenue, Clackamas Road and Industrial Way from Highway 212 to Mather Road, with bike lanes and sidewalks. Connect Mather Road to 98th Avenue. Improve sight distance at the intersection of 98th Court and Lawnfield.
Community Use
Improved Fire Protection
Fire District 1 needed a facility on 130th Avenue. The Agency provided $300,000 toward constructing the final phase.
Clackamas Sand and Gravel Site
This 37-acre site was acquired and area service providers initiated site planning activities for consolidated joint use.
Regional Flood Control and Recreation Facility
Acquisition of an 87-acre site at the western end of the area was completed in 1992-93. Construction of the regional flood control facility began in 1996 and was completed in 1998. Wetland mitigation construction was completed in 2000. Future uses will be joint flood control, natural area and recreational facilities.
Deer Creek Park Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA)
The Agency negotiated an IGA with Water Environment Services (WES) to transfer a 1.76- acre parcel at the intersection of 82nd Avenue and the Southern Pacific line to WES for stream restoration and habitat enhancement for resident fish species.
The Clackamas River North Bank Plan
This plan, adopted in 1996-97, reviewed adjacent land uses on the north bank of the Clackamas River and identified five key parcels of land to be acquired. One parcel was acquired in 1997-98; another was purchased in 1998-99 and a third was purchased in 2007.

As Brandon Stonge raced down the sideline and into history his offensive linemen might have been South Williamsport's most excited players.
That 50-yard third-quarter touchdown run not only helped pave the way for a dominant 32-16 District 4 Class A semifinal win over Bloomsburg last Friday, but also made Stonge South's all-time leading rusher. And while Stonge gets the glory and the record, his unheralded linemen get a huge assist.
This record is as much theirs as it is Stonge's.
"It's not just his record," lineman Marco Estrella said. "That's something we're always going to carry with us, knowing we helped him get there."
Stonge ran for 227 yards against Bloomsburg and now has 3,220 career yards, including 1,430 this season. Fellow running backs Dominick Bragalone and Matt Bartholomew also have had outstanding seasons.
All three backs are tough to stop and all bring something different to the field while providing South one of the district's deepest backfields. As good as they are, the line is the engine that powers everything. As good as those backs are, they would not have anywhere near the numbers they do without the teammates in front of them.
This is not Darrell Blackman at Williamsport in 2001 and 2002, gouging defenses despite so often making so many yards on his own. This is a powerful line playing old-school football and serving as the ultimate complement to a stellar backfield.
"I think we probably have the best offensive line in the area," Stonge said. "They just gave me holes and I ran forever (Friday)."
South (10-1) is hoping for a repeat performance this Friday when it heads to Southern Columbia for the district championship.
Collectively, this line is a huge reason South is playing in a district final for the first time since 1997, when it went all the way to the PIAA?championship game. Collectively, Estrella, Brock Steppe, Dylan Johnson, Justin Knee, Billy Kepner and tight ends Tyler Schonewolf and Heath Newcomer are one of the area's most valuable units. It is a senior-laden line that has played together the last few years. Given one last chance to do something special, this group has cleared the way for the best South season in 15 years.
"Our offensive line is amazing," said Newcomer, an honorary offensive lineman who blocks much more than he catches. "They all do great. They are our biggest leaders on offense."
The line has helped South average 35 points and 344 yards per game. Only Southern and Troy have run for more yards than South which has 2,998 rushing yards. This is a run-heavy offense, but the line also has protected quarterback Tyler House well and the senior has taken advantage, throwing a single-season record 16 touchdowns.
Still, there is no secret about what South is trying to do each week. The Mounties are an old-school team in a growing age of spread offenses. They come right at opponents with that bruising running game and this strong, physical line makes it all go. That line beat up and wore down an outstanding Bloomsburg defense that held HAC-I champion Danville and HAC-II champion Central Columbia to 12 points each of the previous two weeks. That line manhandled a defense that allowed more than 20 points just three times this season.
But two of those were against South which scored 66 points against it while running for 662 yards.
"We don't chuck it around. We're like dinosaurs with how we line up," South coach Chris Eiswerth said. "We line up, try to run the ball and I can't say enough about the job the line does."
Like the backs, the line has played some of its best football when it has mattered most. South rallied for fourth-quarter wins over Bloomsburg and Canton the first two weeks and a huge block late in the Canton game sprang Bragalone for a long game-tying touchdown run. Later in the season, South faced a critical two-game stretch that would determine the NTL Small School championship against previously unbeaten Sayre and Muncy. The line mauled both defenses as South ran for 811 yards in 38-20 and 50-20 wins, respectively.
What makes all this more impressive is that this line is hardly one of the district's biggest. Estrella is a dominant 300-pound blocker but, counting Newcomer and Schonewolf, the rest of the unit averages 195 pounds. Steppe epitomizes the toughness of the line, weighing just 170 pounds but fearlessly attacking bigger linemen while exploding off the ball.
They might not be the biggest, but South's linemen are some of the district's most disciplined, fundamentally sound and best units. South is going somewhere none of its previous 14 teams have gone and this group has helped lead the way.
"They physically wear on you. The first time we played Bloom they (the Panthers) were laying all over the field and (Friday) they were laying all over the field," Eiswerth said. "These guys have just been a great group and will go down as a group that helped win double-digit games in program history. That is huge.
"That is special."

Linebacker Jason Cabinda thinks back on his recruiting process – one that he said ended Tuesday night when he switched his commitment from Syracuse to Penn State -- in waves.
First, the three-star linebacker had offers from Division I AA teams last March. Then, his first FBS offer came from UCONN and shortly thereafter Maryland followed suit. Along came Syracuse and the Flemington, N.J. product gave the Orange his verbal commitment in July, but he remained optimistic that Penn State would somehow be able to make him a scholarship offer.
"Even this summer and even before Syracuse offered, Penn State was my No. 1 school," Cabinda told PennLive Wednesday afternoon. "It was a matter of the situation there and once I got that [Penn State] offer a month ago I knew I'd have a decision to make."
On Sept. 24 when the NCAA announced that Penn State would have their scholarships gradually restored starting with the 2014 recruiting class, Cabinda was extended an offer. After a trip to State College to take in the Penn State vs. Michigan four-overtime thriller and meeting other members of the 2014 recruiting class who sat with him in the stands at the game, Cabinda changed his mind. Penn State was it.
The three-star prospect had a lot of additional time on his hands this week since undergoing an appendectomy Saturday night. Cabinda will be out of football for 2-to-3 weeks while recovering, but used the time to talk over his change of commitment with his mom and his coaches.
"I told my mom and my coaches that Penn State is my kind of fit and I wanted to let Penn State know that," he said. "I called coach [Bill] O'Brien [Tuesday] night and he was screaming in the phone. Now we've got a few New Jersey guys in this class too."
Cabinda is the third recruit to commit to Penn State in the last week. New Jersey tight end Mike Gesicki gave his verbal commitment last Thursday, Massachusetts running back Johnathan Thomas flipped his commitment from Maryland to Penn State Sunday night and Cabinda added his verbal commitment Tuesday evening. Penn State has 15 verbal commits in the class and three of them – quarterback Michael O'Connor, defensive tackle Antoine White and wide receiver De'Andre Thompkins -- are set to enroll in January and their scholarships will count against the 2013 recruiting class.
Cabinda said he has no plans to enroll early.
The 6-foot-1, 220-pound prospect joins Troy Reeder as the lone linebackers in the class. Penn State previously had a verbal commitment from Jared Wangler who since switched his commitment to Michigan, a move that coupled with the additional scholarships, allowed Penn State to offer Cabinda.
After having a chance to talk with Reeder at the Michigan game, Cabinda said the two discussed how they both fit into Penn State's defense.
"Troy is more of a middle guy and I'm more of a guy who can help the team in space," Cabinda said. "Ron Vanderlinden and coach [John] Butler were both at my game against Elizabeth and they liked that on both sides of the ball I was rarely coming off the field. They said I had good stamina. They said they like what I can do in coverage, the way I can get under curl routes, what I can do rushing the quarterback off the edge.
"There's a lot they can do with me."
Cabinda met with O'Brien before the Michigan game and added "that atmosphere at that game was huge and important as well, knowing we can play in front of a crowd like that."
The prospect said he's kept in touch with Reeder and White since hanging out with them at the game and while he's unsure what game will be his official visit, he's glad he's made the decision.
"At first the recruiting process was a little frustrating and a lot to take in," he said. "Even after Penn State offered Northwestern was real interested and said they wanted to offer, but I told them Penn State was it."

There are likely few people throughout the area who didn't encounter some type of problem as the result of Friday's storm.
Whether it was a power outage, an absence of phone service or a downed tree, they all have one thing in common. Someone had to fix it, and in most cases that meant stepping out of the their daily routine.
In the past few days, it hasn't been uncommon to see utility workers, emergency personnel or those who make repairs of any sort going in and out of businesses or homes at all hours. These men and women have been putting forth a lot of effort and energy to help people restore not only their services, but also get back to life as they knew it before the disaster.
Sure, this can be viewed as people simply doing their jobs. Really, it's more than that. They are dedicated and dependable employees and community members who put their own needs on hold to come to the aid of others. For this, they should be admired and respected.
A heartfelt thank-you goes to these workers, and we encourage others to let them know they're appreciated.

Here's the link to the rule book.
U.S. Rifle, Caliber 5.56mm M-16 series - In all courses of fire and in all positions the standard 10, 20-
round or 30-round box magazine or a reduced capacity magazine of the same external dimensions will be
attached. A case deflector (DC-T-30 or commercial equivalent) is allowed.
As the A3 version is used by the military as the M16A4 , it should be allowed.
The detachable carry handle may not have the elevation for the 600 yard stage. Seems I read that somewhere.
July 3, 2010, 08:42 PM
Thanks for the info. I need to check into the 600 yard sight range further. The Bushmaster ad says it will go to 600 meters.
July 4, 2010, 08:59 AM
Just looking at it on Bushy's website (http://www.bushmaster.com/competition_rifles.asp?cat=16R), looks like you're good to go.
I've heard that the Army Marksmanship Unit has gone to the A4 (proper designation) because they can swap the sights between uppers. They say the Army ream doesn't reuse an old upper when they rebuild a rifle, so it saves rebuilding pinned match sights.
The newer carry-handle sights should have enough elevation to get you to 600. You'll need 12-13 minutes worth of elevation off of your 300 yard settting. Spin it and see how far it goes?
July 4, 2010, 10:42 AM
Looking at the Bushmaster model PCWA3S20DCM8XR description on their website, seems like an awful lot of rifle for $1150 (street price). I don't see any way I could build one up to those specs for that little money. I like the fact this rifle could be used for NRA High Power Match, Service Rifle, and F-TR. Our local club is a 600 yard course of fire and offers all of the NRA competitions once per month. I think I better get this rifle!

1973 National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Primetime Emmy Award
Starting Bid - $300.00, Sold For - $5,581.25
Offered here is a Primetime Emmy Award issued in 1973. These awards are rarely offered because few are given and the recipients (or their families) understandably tend to keep them for home display. The now classic design features a golden figure of a winged woman holding a representation of the atom. The plaque displayed around the circular base of this example is engraved "1973-74 Primetime Emmy Awards - Jacqueline Ranallo - Writer - 'Lily' - CBS - Outstanding Writing in Comedy-Variety, Music Programs." We know little about this long forgotten television program and have not found any information about the award's recipient, but we can tell you that we have found that everyone who holds this award for even a moment feels compelled to give thanks to everyone in the room. Few objects have this amusing power. Lettered along the top of the base, in raised relief, is the name of the issuing organization, "The National Academy of Television Arts And Sciences." Emmys, which are awarded annually by the Academy to honor excellence in television broadcasting, are one of the most recognizable of all entertainment awards. Like their motion picture counterpart, the Oscar, Emmys are also quite scarce due to the fact that the Academy strongly discourages winners from selling their awards. In terms of aesthetics, the offered piece is certainly one of the most attractive awards found in the entertainment industry and one that would make for a spectacular conversation piece in any private collection. We close by saying "Thank you, thank you, thank you..." The award measures 15 inches in height and the base is 7.5 inches in diameter. In Excellent to Mint condition. Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000. SOLD FOR $5,581.25

Nyquist is very good, but Tatar is better. Tatar creates all his offense on his own. Nyquist has superior linemates, more icetime, and more PP time (with better linemates again). Look at his hatty last night, Zetterberg basically gift wrapped that one for him. No reason to believe that Tatar wouldn't do the same with similar opportunites, since he's basically doing the same with third line minutes and two rookies.
Also, Tatar does not play bad defense...and Nyquist is no shutdown defensive forward. They both work extremely hard on defense (watch Tatar backcheck), but they're both too small to be effective right now. I think everyone saying Nyquist is better defensively is just something people repeat for the sake of it. Tatar gets back as often as any on the team at this point.
Well then don't set your sights too high on trade deadline day because if you're not willing to part with a good player, you're not going to get anyone back who's worth a damn.
In no way am I saying Nyquist is a shut down defensive forward or Tatar is horrible defensively. Tatar has gotten a lot better defensively and he works really hard. Both of the guys are learning so much from Z and it shows in their game. Personally I feel like Nyquist is the better all around player at this point. I think they will both be staples in the top 6 once Z and Pav are gone, if not before then as long as they aren't traded obviously.
I don't think we need to trade either of them though. I would do a package of Smith or Ouellet, Jurco and a 1st, for a Dman but I'm weary of trading away young assets because I don't think we are a championship team this season anyway.

6 Mistakes I Make When Feeding My Toddler — and I'm OK with It!Heather Neal
Before I actually had a child I envisioned family meals around the dinner table, baby eating the same thing mom and dad were chowing down on. Then I had said-child and it all flew out the window. Even now that he's old enough to eat the same things as an adult, rarely, if ever — okay, never — do we sit down to a meal together. Partly because our 2-year-old's schedule is completely different than ours, partly because it means he'll just steal my food, and I'll be left hungry, and partly because he wants nothing to do with sitting down to a meal.
There are a whole list of suggestions for combating picky eaters and instilling good eating behaviors in kids. This is where you'd probably assume I'd list all these great practices our family follows since I'm a dietitian by trade. You'd be wrong. While one day I do hope to achieve some of these habits, it's been a long slow journey that is going to take time to achieve. Instead of stressing out over every little thing, we choose to accept that it's OK if we break a couple "rules" in our house. The only practice we strictly adhere to is that the parent picks what goes on the plate. That way regardless of what else happens, at least it's nutritious food that ends up in our little one's belly.
Since our biggest battle is trying to get our toddler to eat at appropriate times, instead of throwing a tantrum every 15 minutes because he wants to EaaaaaaT, that's the one we've decided to work on first. As he grows older and we help his habits change, I'm sure we'll adjust back toward the mainstream recommendations. But we're not there, and I'm 100 percent okay with that.
6 Mistakes I Make When It Comes to Feeding My Toddler:
1. Serving himself
I love this idea, in theory. Letting kids serve themselves teaches them to rely on their bellies to say they're full, not a parent. But this would mean all of everybody's dinner would be on his plate, the applesauce would be in the container of hummus, the pancakes would be in a bowl of milk, and he would only ever choose the fruit or cereal.
2. Saying: "Sure you can have more ____ … try 2 bites of veggies."
We are NOT members of the clean plate club, but if our toddler has already had 34,583 blueberries and wants more even though he didn't touch any other food on his plate, it begs the question if he's really hungry or just likes getting more blueberries. If he really truly wants more or is hungry, he'll usually at least pretend to taste something else. That counts in my book; he doesn't have to actually eat it. It's not a battle of wills, it's just a suggestion.
3. Not eating at the table
He won't stay there. Why fight it? In a parenting battle there is no good outcome; somebody always loses. If he wants to eat perched on his stool at the kitchen counter, so be it. If he wants to eat outside on the front steps, no big deal. However, the only time he's allowed to eat on the couch is his post-nap granola bar because his little toddler world collapses if it happens any other way. (Choose your battles, right?)
4. Family dinner time
There is absolutely zero way this kid would make it to 6 pm for dinner. Honestly, I can barely get dinner ready by then with a toddler underfoot anyways. I do try to sit with him for his dinner (and other meals we manage to eat at the same time) just so he knows what the deal is, but that doesn't always happen either. That's called being realistic sometimes the only five minutes he's occupied all day is when he's eating.
5. Grazing
If I had to count on three meals and two snacks to give my kid all the nutrients he needs, he'd be SOL. He just doesn't do meals. When he tells me he's hungry, he can have something to eat. Sometimes I make him wait a few minutes to learn that it's OK or to see if he's really hungry vs. just likes getting what he wants/needs a distraction. We do attempt to structure his eating around meals and snack "time" so that it builds that foundation. (We call breakfast "breakfast," lunch "lunch," etc.) This means no battles and no pressure at specified meal times. If he doesn't want what's on his plate, I don't feel like I have to give him something else less he starve. Don't get me wrong, it's not a free-for-all, but we're not overly rigid.
6. Sitting in a chair
Like most wild toddlers, he doesn't like being still, confined, or made to do something. We try not to let him stand on the chair since it's dangerous, so if he wants to stand at the coffee table and eat, by all means. If he wants to sit in the middle of the kitchen floor with his bowl, whatever. This has gotten a lot better since we took his "little" table away. He likes sitting at the "big" table and knows if he stands on his chair, mealtime is over.
Obviously I'm not telling you these are good strategies or that you should do them. But calm down and cut yourself some slack if you're not doing what "they" say. Kids are hard enough to raise without the guilt!

Eddie Murphy, Robin Givens
An '80s sensibility meets '50s sitcom humor in this movie starring Murphy as a womanizing executive at a cosmetics company. He's got a great apartment, extensive gadgetry and a very successful seducer's line: noisome flattery, the proffering of a single rose and pretty lies.
The worm quite literally turns when Givens is hired as Murphy's boss in a job he had staked out as his own. Smitten, Murphy moves in for the kill only to learn that Givens is as callous with men as he is with women; she doesn't call him for weeks, is coolly indifferent to his feelings, discusses with her friends his performance in bed. In short, she treats him like a sex object.
While it's refreshing to see black characters portrayed in positions of consequence, this is basically a very tired tale of role reversal, revenge and redemption. There is a lack of inventiveness and cohesiveness to Boomerang, a fact apparently not lost on director Reginald (House Party) Hudlin and writers Barry W. Blaustein and David Sheffield (collaborators on Coming to America), who, uncertain how to move from one sequence to the next, end almost every scene with a fade-out.
Still, a blank screen is preferable to such shots as Grace Jones (as a haughty French model) removing her panties and throwing them at a man who has annoyed her, or of a middle-aged man whose finger licking at the dinner table is clearly not to be construed as praise for the meal. Givens plays a role couture-cut for her limited talent, that of a cooing femme fatale, but she is no more bearable for all that. The ravishing Halle Berry, one of the few bright spots in last year's Strictly Business, which Boomerang passingly resembles, is terrifically appealing as the woman Murphy comes to love.
Murphy can outmug anyone in the business, but however effective he is as a smart aleck, he is relentlessly unconvincing as a lovesick suitor. Those who can overlook Murphy's lapses and who enjoy scenes of unremitting crudity will find much to savor in Boomerang. Others are advised to belly up to another box office. (R)

A British mother of six claims she's cancer-free after coughing up a cancerous throat tumor.
Claire Osborn, 37, told The Daily Mail she felt a tickle in her throat moments before the mass -- which she described as looking "like a strip of liver" -- came out.
Tests revealed Osborn had metastatic adenocarcinoma -- an aggressive form of cancer that likely stemmed from glandular tissue at the back of her mouth.
Doctors told her she'd need chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer and gave her 50 percent odds of surviving, Osborn said.
Follow-up scans, however, detected no tumors. Doctors removed some cancerous cells from Osborn's tongue, and gave her a clean bill of health.
"I was totally flabbergasted," Osborn told The Daily Mail. "If I hadn't coughed it up, the tumor would have grown and almost certainly spread to my other organs."
The woman's head and neck surgeon, Dr. Gary Walton, a doctor at Britain's University Hospital Coventry, said it's rare for patients to cough up cancer, but not impossible.
"We suspect the tumor grew on a stalk at the back of her mouth which is very difficult to detect," he told the Daily Mail. "Somehow she dislodged this and the stalk snapped and she coughed up the tumor."
Dr. Edward Kim, chief of head and neck medical oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, told ABC News the woman's coughing fit might have acted like a surgeon's scalpel.

Benefits, Features and Cautions
Cloud computing is a way to pool a large amount of IT resources in a way that allows the provider to leverage scale and efficiencies to drive down prices and provide quicker access to those pooled resources to all users of that cloud service. Although that implies that cloud computing is all about cost savings and ability to use already deployed IT resources quicker, that is not a complete picture. Indeed if customers of cloud services view these services as an improved co-location service, it is likely that many of the more important benefits of cloud computing will go unused and likely the cost will be higher than an efficiently run self-hosted infrastructure.
Distributed Architectures made EasyEnterprise class cloud service providers spend a large amount of resources providing a highly redundant, reliable, scalable and geographically distributed infrastructure to their customers. Users of cloud services can take advantage of these properties without having to spend the resources or obtain the expertise to build and design their own infrastructures in their own datacenters. For Penn, it would be impractical to provide the same level of geographic redundancy that vendors in our preferred portfolio are able to provide. Some vendors describe this as 'Stop spending money on Undifferentiated Heavy Lifting'. So more resources and effort can be spent working on IT problems that do make a difference to our customers and allows us to further the mission of the University.
Scalability is Built-inBecause cloud vendors have large, distributed environments that run some of the largest internet based businesses, they deliver a number of solutions that allow for applications to scale quickly on increased demand. Many cloud vendors serve customers that target an international, internet sized audience that can increase the usage of a solution exponentially. The scalability that these applications require and the problems that need to be solved for these sorts of architectures are now part of the standard solutions the cloud vendor provides and allnew solutions will have that scalability built in from the start. This also means that you do not have to scale your infrastructure for your highest expected demand, instead you can design your solution to scale on demand and only pay for those resources you actually need, rather than planning and paying for resources you may need in 3-5 years, which is the typical depreciation period for capital expenses.
Trade Capital Expense for Operational ExpenseSince the cloud vendors are providing the infrastructure, they are the ones that are providing the capital expenses. By using cloud solutions, you will trade your capital expenses for operational expenses for the resources you consume. Of course, it is vitally important that the solutions that target cloud infrastructure are built in such a way that they use the elasticity the cloud services provide. If your solution is built using traditional architectures that do not scale according to demand and use the cloud solution simply as a co-location provider, you will not realize the savings you might expect. Although, cloud providers use their buying power and scale to design and build IT systems tailored specifically to their services and do not use system resellers to build and deploy their systems, which give them savings beyond what smaller IT organizations can attain. Market surveys have shown that their cost will be higher than self provisioned infrastructures if used for traditionally designed application infrastructures.
Decreased 'Time to Market'Cloud providers use virtualization technology and automation to deliver IT solutions in minutes rather than weeks or months for traditional IT infrastructures that may use a capital approval process and organization specific systems and installations. This allows for solutions to be deployed as soon as they are ready and the planning process for infrastructure deployment is no longer a barrier or significant aspect of IT solution delivery
Fail early, Fail oftenBecause one can deploy IT solutions without capital expense (or even significant operational expense for small efforts), it allows organizations to try out solutions quickly and without incurring ongoing costs that traditional solutions would. Since scalability can be built in from the start, you also do not need to worry about a solution being successful, since the cloud vendor provides 'unlimited' scalability. This means new, innovative ideas can be tried quickly and often without significant up front expenses and failed idea can be thrown away without having committed ongoing expense.
Infrastructure Security vs. Application Security
Cloud vendors have designed infrastructures with security designed in from the ground up. The market leaders in the space have a large and dedicated IT security staff that are dedicated to the security of the infrastructures they provide. Many provide automatic updates and patching of the OS and application infrastructures they provide. This means that users of the solutions get a lot of security 'baked in'. However application security is not provided by the cloud providers, so it is paramount to continue to build applications according the security standards that Penn advocates (http://www.upenn.edu/computing/security/swa/).
Network considerations
Cloud services, by their very nature are provisioned using the internet, therefore solutions that are network latency and bandwidth sensitive may not be appropriate for cloud based deployments. Additionally, some cloud vendors charge for the usage of bandwidth either for the ingress or egress of data, or both. It is important to consider the impact of the network and the location and connectivity of cloud vendors when considering a cloud based solution. It is also important to review encryption requirements when transitioning data to and from the cloud provider, since generally, the data will be traversing a public network and therefore may be inspected by external parties.
Compliance, Privacy, Confidentiality and Legal Considerations
The Penn privacy web site and the Information Security web site have a lot of information on privacy and protecting Penn data. It is important to understand that as a steward of Penn's data, Penn users of cloud based solutions will need to assess the provider's adherence to Penn policies and procedures, including e.g. FERPA, HIPAA, etc. There also may be legal and governmental requirements depending on the class of data that is used. Preferably these controls need to be codified in a contract with the vendor. It is also important to understand whether any data used by the solution is under export controls, which would require the cloud vendor to provide US based location restrictions. If the solution is part of Penn's portfolio of trusted cloud based solutions, the contract will reflect these considerations. Please check with your local LSP or with ISC if you need more information or guidance.

Shimon Peres, Israeli Statesman and Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Dies at 93
posted on September 28, 2016
At The Washington Post, Robin Shulman reports that Shimon Peres has died at age 93 due to complications from a stroke. She writes, "Mr. Peres, who held nearly every high office in his country and whose influence spanned 10 U.S. presidencies, was the last of a generation of politicians who came of age as Israel did and helped guide it through regional conflicts and economic restructuring." In 1994, Peres shared the Nobel Peace Prize for helping broker a short-lived peace process between Israelis and Palestinians.
Trump, Clinton to Trade Jokes Instead of Barbs at Al Smith Dinner
posted on September 28, 2016
Religion News Service's David Gibson reports that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will attend the upcoming Al Smith Dinner on October 20. The New York dinner, hosted by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, is an annual fundraiser that benefits underprivileged youth and honors Alfred E. Smith, former governor of New York and the first Catholic presidential nominee. Gibson writes that the candidates will attend "to trade jokes (hopefully) rather than barbs in a custom that goes back more than 70 years."
Has Pope Francis Failed?
posted on September 28, 2016
At The New York Times, Matthew Schmitz, who is an editor at First Things, examines why Pope Francis, despite his popularity, has failed to bring Catholics back to the church. Schmitz writes, "Francis is a Jesuit, and like many members of Catholic religious orders, he tends to view the institutional church, with its parishes and dioceses and settled ways, as an obstacle to reform." Schmitz argues, "Such denunciations demoralize faithful Catholics without giving the disaffected any reason to return. Why join a church whose priests are little monsters and whose members like to throw stones? When the pope himself stresses internal spiritual states over ritual observance, there is little reason to line up for confession or wake up for Mass."
When U.S. Mormons Clash With Their Overseas Brothers and Sisters about a Key Issue: War
posted on September 28, 2016
The Salt Lake Tribune's Peggy Fletcher Stack reports on a "culture clash" between Mormons from the U.S and New Zealand. Stack writes that "Mormons across the globe spar over the virtues and vices of war." Nathan McCluskey, lifelong Mormon with a doctorate of political science, points out that American Mormons tend to support an interpretation of the Book of Mormon that "teaches us to defend our families, freedom and religion with the use of military force." He adds, for the church in New Zealand, "pacifism is a greater manifestation of faith than militarism."
Evangelicals, Once Skeptical Of Trump, Have Rallied to His Side
posted on September 27, 2016
FiveThirtyEight's Farai Chideya reports that "many evangelicals were initially skeptical of Trump, possibly because of his multiple marriages and combative and often vulgar campaign style, particularly concerning women." However, that narrative has changed because of evangelical concerns over social issues and Supreme Court appointments, according to our own Religion & Politics editor Marie Griffith, whom Chideya interviewed. Griffith said, "Trump speaks to the profound fears animating so many white evangelicals today."
The Secret Costs of Islamophobia
posted on September 27, 2016
CNN's Daniel Burke reports on the rise of Islamophobia. Burke notes that "Islamophobia seems to surge after attacks by Muslim extremists and during presidential campaigns, when candidates pledge to get tough on terrorists, often by singling out Muslims." He reports that "anti-Muslim hate crimes surged nearly 70% last year, reaching a level of violence not seen since the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks," according to a study from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism.
Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump Press Pointed Attacks in Debate
posted on September 27, 2016
At The New York Times, Patrick Healy and Jonathan Martin write on the "relentlessly antagonistic" debate between Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump last night. They write, "Mr. Trump's strongest moments came early in the evening, when he put Mrs. Clinton on the defensive over her support for free trade agreements that he argues have cost Americans jobs. But on issues of race and gender, Mr. Trump was less sure-footed."
Bomb Suspect Is in Custody, Officials Say

Russia reinforces military presence in Crimea
SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine -- Dozens of military trucks transporting heavily armed soldiers rumbled over Crimea's rutted roads Saturday as Russia reinforced its armed presence on the disputed peninsula in the Black Sea. Moscow's foreign minister ruled out any dialogue with Ukraine's new authorities, whom he dismissed as the puppets of extremists.
The Russians have denied their armed forces are active in Crimea, but an Associated Press reporter trailed one military convoy Saturday afternoon to a military airfield at Gvardeiskoe north of Simferopol, over which a Russian flag flew.
Some of the army green vehicles had Russian license plates and numbers indicating that they were from the Moscow region. Some towed mobile kitchens and what appeared to be mobile medical equipment.
The strategic peninsula in southern Ukraine has become the flashpoint in the battle for Ukraine, where three months of protests sparked by President Victor Yanukovych's decision to ditch a significant treaty with the 28-nation European Union after strong pressure from Russia led to his downfall. A majority of people in Crimea identify with Russia, and Moscow's Black Sea Fleet is based in Sevastopol, as is Ukraine's.
Vladislav Seleznyov, a Crimea-based spokesman for the Ukrainian armed forces, told the AP that witnesses had reported seeing amphibious military ships unloading around 200 military vehicles in eastern Crimea on Friday night after apparently having crossed the Straits of Kerch, which separates Crimea from Russian territory.
"Neither the equipment, nor the paratroopers have insignia that identify them as Russian, but we have no doubt as to their allegiance," Seleznyov said.
The amphibious operation appeared to be one of the largest movements of Russian military forces since they appeared in Crimea a week ago.
Seleznyov also said a convoy of more than 60 military trucks was spotted Saturday heading from Feodosia toward Simferopol, the regional capital. An AP reporter caught up with the convoy and trailed it. In the rear of the vehicles, heavily armed soldiers could be seen. Soldiers spat at reporters following them.
A small plane belonging to the Ukrainian border guards was fired on by "extremists" using automatic weapons as it flew near the administrative border of Crimea, but took evasive maneuvers and escaped unscathed, the Interfax news agency reported, quoting Ukrainian officials.

Our Caregivers
Our caregivers want more than a job. They want to make a difference in the lives of those in their care. As a company, our job is to give caregivers the direction and tools they need to fulfill their personal mission of service, as well as our corporate mission of improving the lives of those we serve.
To ensure that the people we employ meet our high standards, we have a rigorous selection process. Before caregivers can become employed with Right at Home and begin caring for clients, every one of them must go through:
- Reference checks (at hire and annually)
- Background clearance (at hire and annually)
- Motor vehicle checks (at hire and annually)
- Drug Testing
- Personal interviews
- Competency testing
- New hire orientation
Training and Continuing Education
Once a caregiver meets our strict selection criteria, it's just the beginning. First, all Right at Home caregivers are insured and bonded. Then, each caregiver goes through a comprehensive orientation process that ingrains our policies and procedures.
Our CERT (Caregiver Education Retention and Training) program provides ongoing, specialized training that ensures that our caregivers understand the high standards of care expected by Right at Home.
Through Right at Home University – the educational arm of our CERT Program – caregivers are given training on issues that help them develop as better overall caregivers, as well as deal with very specific situations, including:
- Medication Management and Compliance
- Alzheimer's and Dementia
- Osteoarthritis and Mobility Loss
- Hypertension/Stroke Recovery
- Diabetes

Sunny 16 Exposure Without a Meter: Part II
For those of you who missed Part I of my explanation of Sunny 16, be sure to read it. Once you have, please join the rest of us as we continue looking at when and how to use the rule of Sunny 16 to manually expose your images. This article will focus on exposing without a meter in conditions other than in the bright sun. I will begin with a quick review of bright sun exposure (the first condition below) to remind us of where we left off.
Photographing Without a Meter: Four Different Light Conditions
Bright Sun, Average Condition (1/ISO at F16). This is the straight-forward Sunny 16 exposure I covered in Part I. The shutter speed is the same as the ISO and the F-stop is 16. For example, if your ISO is 200 then your exposure setting would be F16 at 1/200 of a second. Sunny 16 always gives you the proper exposure for the area of the composition in full sun. There may be a portion of your scene in the shade and to make sure that there is some detail in the shadows, I generally open up one-third to one full stop, depending on the conditions. After a little experience of shooting without a meter, you won't even need to bracket your exposure because you'll naturally choose the right one, you'll have "a feel" for it. Additionally, with the EV Chart you can convert your exposure to whatever f-stop/shutter speed combination that fits your image.
Before continuing, I feel compelled to share the following; I am most likely to use Sunny 16 in the bright sun, average conditions. While variations of Sunny 16 often yield fantastic results for conditions other than bright sun, the exposure may not be perfect and takes a fair amount of practice to truly learn how to evaluate the lighting conditions. I still think it's worthwhile to learn how to use Sunny 16 in conditions other than bright sun for several reasons. First, if your meter malfunctions or you are using a camera without one, you will know how to get good exposure; second, knowing how to expose correctly without a meter will elucidate the whole concept of exposure, which then frees up creative energy for composition. Finally, if you continue to use these techniques, you will be able to shoot well without a meter in most outdoor conditions.
Bright Sun, Bright Surroundings (1/ISO at F22).When your subject is in the bright sun and also surrounded by something bright, for example snow or white sand, it is essential to consider the total amount of the light in the composition. Not only do you have to factor the direct sunlight into your exposure, but also the light reflected from the bright color surrounding the subject, which essentially becomes an additional light source. In this situation keep your shutter speed the same as our ISO as you would with Sunny 16. The aperture, however, must be adjusted to handle one more stop of light. For instance, if a person is standing in the sun and is surrounded by snow, he or she is effectively surrounded by a studio light box that adds one stop of light to the overall scene. To compensate for the additional light source in this case, you should close down one stop from F16 to F22.
Bright Sun, Subject Backlit (1/ISO at F8). In this scenario, the subject of your photo is in the bright sun but backlit—the sun is behind the subject. For a person, or a building, you would open up two stops to expose him or her correctly. This adjustment means that the rest of the photo will be two stops overexposed; however, the subject will be exposed correctly. Again, your exposure is 1/ISO and the f-stop 8 (16>>11>>8). If you were standing in the snow (as in condition two above) and your subject is backlit, compensate by decreasing two f-stops (22 >>16 >>11).
Shade (1/ISO at F 5.6). The fourth shooting condition is full shade. A scene completely in the shade requires that you open up approximately three stops, or eight times (2x2x2=8), from what you would shoot in the bright sun. Your f-stop would then be 5.6 (16>>11>>8>>5.6). Eliminate any spots of sun in your photograph—since you have opened up three stops from Sunny 16, anything in the sun will now be three stops overexposed, or pure white. When I shoot macro photos of flowers on sunny days, I often cast my own shadow over the flower to create a nice soft light. In this scenario, I would check the viewfinder to make sure that every part of the photo is in the shade (in my shade that is), as those in the light will likely turn white and ruin the image.
Without exception, knowing exposure is essential to good shooting. And while seeing the image on the back of the camera and understanding the corresponding histogram can help you with exposure after an image is captured, nothing compares to instinctively knowing these skills as you shoot. When exposure becomes secondary, seeing becomes primary.
As much as I love knowing and understanding Sunny 16, I do not use it all the time. There are many instances when it would not be appropriate or effective. For me, almost all my shooting falls into one of the following four categories:
- In bright sun, I use Sunny 16 and usually open 1/3 to one full stop depending on my subject and the relative light conditions such as shade.
- In conditions that do not fall into the "bright sun" category, I use my light meter. When my lighting is soft or average (rather than high contrast) and my subject is pretty much average reflected, I use aperture or shutter preferred and evaluative or matrix metering.
- In all other conditions (still using my light meter, that is) when I have high contrast light or my subject is not an average reflected tone, I use manual mode and spot metering. This is what I have referred to in previous newsletters as the Ansel Adams Zone system.
- While shooting stage or dance photography, I don't follow any specific rules about metering but rather my instincts, which have been cultivated and refined through experience.
Now let's review the main points of Sunny 16. Really, all you need to remember are a few simple formulas.
Shutter Speed & Aperture Setting
1/ISO F16 bright sun, average conditions
1/ISO F22 bright sun, bright surroundings
1/ISO F8 bright sun, backlit subject
1/ISO F 5.6 bright sun, shade
Remember to use the EV Chart to adjust the f-stop and shutter speed to the one that gives you the depth of field or shutter speed you desire while maintaining the same exposure.

Suite with Balcony and Bath/Shower (AB): Ventura Cabin Reviews
Read entire member review >>
An amazing cabin at the rear of the ship. Separate lounge are with full size dining table and 3 piece suite. Separate w/c and spa bath and stand alone shower. Large balcony with 2 sun loungers, 4 chairs and a table. Butler service too. Canapés every evening. Fabulous for sail always looking back and reflecting on the wonderful day you have had. We were offered this as an upgrade shortly before departure and the extra £600 paid was worth every penny.

R412 - Dewanha Suite - much smaller than the equivalent on RCI - lots of hangers but clothes end up quite squashed due to layout of the closet. Bathroom great size with whirlpool bath and large shower. Bed very comfy but strange noise comes from balcony if the ship moves? Rattles when there is movement and kept us awake. Lots of dressing space and drawers. Hairdryer in room, Senseo coffee machine and lots of tea/coffee/biscuits replenished every day. Sitting area with coffee table comfy. Balcony is mostly shaded by a huge metal overhang from the deck above - so beware if you think you will be sitting on there soaking up the sun - you won't! Lots of noise early in morning/late at night from people dragging tables/chairs about as the room is directly under the seating area on Deck 15.

Our cabin was A751 an aft suite. We had high hopes for this and it lived up to them in the main. It had a superb spacious layout with a huge balcony. If I had to knit pick it would be about the level of cleanliness. Surfaces that looked ok in a dull Southampton showed they were in need of a bit of spit and polish once the sun shone. As expected at the aft end it moved a lot crossing the Bay of Biscay and was subject to vibrating fixtures at certain propeller speeds but it was a small price to pay for such a nice suite. Both the Butler and Room Attendant were great lads.

That's quite a stuffer. That part on the top, is that a motor? Looks like there is a hand crank.
Hope it doesn't take twice as long to un-crank when you are done with 30 pounds. I know that's your favorite thing!

It has a second (reverse) gear that cranks faster so that problem has left the building. (!)

The dating of Shakespeare's King John depends upon its relationship to the anonymous Troublesome Raigne of King John, a polemical history play which was printed in two parts in 1591. While the plot and sequence of the Troublesome Raigne's scenes are similar to those of King John, the two plays share few linguistic parallels. Those who identify the Troublesome Raigne as Shakespeare's principal source comfortably date King John in the mid 1590s, sometime between the conclusion of the first historical tetralogy and the composition of Richard II. A minority of scholars consider the Troublesome Raigne to be a bad quarto of King John and date Shakespeare's original as early as …

Atomic Blimp
this wiki
- "The most iconic and leisurely aircraft in the Los Santos skies."
- ―Rockstar Games description.
The Atomic Blimp is a blimp featured in Grand Theft Auto V.
It is the first controllable blimp in the series, and the second one featured in Grand Theft Auto, after The Gash Blimp. It can be seen flying over Los Santos, and it is also available to fly for those who pre-ordered the game or have Special/Collector's Editions. It can be used by calling the blimp contact on the phone and then going to the location in which it spawned.
The Atomic Blimp is based on the GZ-20 blimp, manufactured by Goodyear Aerospace, the aeronautic subsidiary of the tires company Goodyear, on which Atomic, which manufactures the Atomic Blimp in-game, is based on. The Atomic Blimp bears a heavy resemblance to its real-life counterpart, bearing Atomic decals nearly identical to the Goodyear blimp (as seen on this photo).
Current Design Gallery
Despite being a blimp, it's quicker and more agile than the vehicle type suggests. Its handling is comparable to that of a helicopter. It has good maneuverability and modest acceleration, and it has very little turbulence in-flight, making it a very good choice for flying around San Andreas. The Atomic Blimp, despite being considered an aircraft, shares the same control setup and flight style as a helicopter. When pressing (PlayStation) or (Xbox), the engine speed increases. But interestingly, instead of what should technically happen (which would be the blimp moving forward), it actually climbs vertically.
The Blimp's main weak point, however, is that it is very weak. Simply bumping into a building or a car will cause the Blimp to explode. Extra care must be taken when piloting it. Bullets will also do short work of it.

- Can be ordered on a special in-game app after completing Franklin's intro mission. Has to be picked up at the location given on the map. These locations are the Vinewood Racetrack and Los Santos International Airport (on consoles).
- NPC-controlled Blimps can be hijacked by landing on the top of it, and pressing Y/Triangle. This feature is only available to players who pre-ordered the game on Xbox 360/PS3, or for returning players on Xbox One/PS4.
- Shooting down an NPC-controlled blimp will give the player an instant 3-star wanted level.
- Unlike most vehicles, the blimp will remain afloat if crashed into the water.
- The Atomic Blimp is classified as a fixed-wing aircraft in the game's internal files, despite the fact that its handling is more similar to a helicopter's.
- The name "Atomic Blimp" is a reference to the Goodyear Blimp as Goodyear is rubber company and Atomic is also a fictional rubber tire company.
- When shooting out the pilot, it will play the same sound as the helicopter sound (when falling from driver death), and will interestingly start to turn to the left when going down, similar to how the helicopter will spin out of control when shot out.
- Despite the wreckage of the blimp holding some of its shape, the nose is visually separated from the middle section of the wrecked frame, giving the impression that the front part is floating.
- The player may see a second blimp flying around the city. The second blimp may be flying around Los Santos at a higher speed than normal. Turning the in-game camera around and back will result in the blimp not being in the sky anymore.
- The blimp will be parked in a weird position if the player lands it in the parking lot of the Los Santos Country Club and plays golf.

AMHERST – On the final weekend of the University of Massachusetts semester, Amherst police had more than a dozen calls for loud parties including one for a gathering at 31 Shumway St., at 1:14 a.m. Saturday, which led to the arrest of four residents who were uncooperative with police.
Robyn R. Robichaud, 22, of Tennessee; Daniel R Olarte, 22, Seekonk; Justin M. Healey, 21, Newburyport, and Theodore Y. Beauparlant W. Newbury, were all arrested and charged with unlawful noise.
According to police, the residents were uncooperative in clearing out guests and putting out a small campfire in the yard. All but Robichaud are listed as University of Massachusetts students on the campus directory.
At a separate gathering on Phillips Street, police arrested Warren Forbes, 18, of Norfolk, Va., after responding to and breaking up a party there. Forbes was charged with being in possession of alcohol under the age of 21. He too is listed as a UMass student.
In a separate incident, UMass student Samuel O. Javit, 20, was charged with an open container violation and being in possession of alcohol under 21 Saturday afternoon on College Street.
Gatherings ranged in size from small parties of a dozen or so to the largest of about 200, according to police. Mostly, police issued warnings rather than citations after residents cleared the guests.
Police received several noise complaints from people living near Hampshire College where a concert was held.
The college was notified. No warnings were issued.
UMass finals end Thursday with graduation Friday.

Man shot on Erie's westside
A young man was shot in the torso Friday evening on Erie's west side, the second shooting in the city in as many nights.
The shooting occurred at about 8 p.m. at 417 W. 17th St., Erie police said. The victim was helped to a gurney and taken by EmergyCare ambulance to UPMC Hamot for treatment of a single gunshot wound, said Erie Police Sgt. Keith Kaschalk.
"We were told by people in the house that he went out the door, got shot and went back inside," Kaschalk said.
No description of the shooter was available. Witnesses were not cooperating with police, Kaschalk said.
The victim's name and age were not available.
The shooting occurred one night after a 19-year-old man was shot in the leg near the intersection of East Fifth and Ash streets. Police said Friday night they have no suspects in that case, and the name of the victim was not available.
