Megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome
Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is a rare congenital disease characterized by massive abdominal distension caused by a largely dilated non-obstructed urinary bladder (megacystis), microcolon and decreased or absent intestinal peristalsis.
MMIHS prevalence is unknown but the disease has been reported in 230 patients, of which 71% are females.
Enlarged and nonobstructed bladder is the first manifestation of MMIHS and can be detected prenatally. It results in abdominal distension, which is an early constant finding. Usual clinical presentation is similar to other neonatal intestinal obstructions: bile stained vomiting and failure to pass meconium. Patients show various visceral anomalies of the digestive tract including microcolon, malrotation of the gut, intestinal generalized hypo- or aperistalsis and short bowel. Along with the severe megacystis, malformations of the urinary tract with renal dysplasia (see this term), hydronephrosis, ureteral dilatation and hydroureter are frequently described. Undescended testis or bilateral streak gonads, cardiac anomalies, umbilical hernia or omphalocele have been reported in some cases.
Etiology of MMIHS is unknown but various hypotheses have been proposed to describe the pathogenesis including genetic, neurogenic, myogenic and hormonal origin. The 15q11.2 region might be associated with MMIHS.
Postnatally, MMIHS is mainly diagnosed by clinical presentation and supportive radiological and surgical findings. Histologically, vacuolar degeneration in the center of smooth muscle of the bowel and bladder has been described.
This disorder should not be mistaken for a milder and autosomal dominant disorder, called chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, in which megacystis is also present, or for prune belly syndrome (see these terms).
Prenatal diagnosis of MMIHS is mostly based on fetal ultrasound, revealing enlarged urinary bladder and hydronephrosis. Recent reports have proposed prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with analysis of enzymatic changes to contribute to prenatal diagnosis of MMIHS. The enlarged bladder can be observed from the second trimester and polyhydramnios from the third.
MMIHS has been suggested to have an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern so genetic counseling remains difficult, to date.
There is no curative treatment for MMIHS. Various surgical interventions including gastrostomy, jejunostomy and vesicostomy have been reported and have been generally unsuccessful in most patients. Several multivisceral transplantations have also been reported. In the majority of patients total parenteral nutrition is required.
Survival in MMIHS seems to have improved, thanks to more specialized care, innovations in parenteral nutrition, and introduction of multivisceral transplantation. However, prognosis and life expectancy of this generally fatal disease remains poor. Death is mainly caused by sepsis, malnutrition or multiple organ failure.

Minority Report technology continues to jump from the screen of the Tom Cruise movie and into real life, this time with processors enabling gesture interfaces for mobile phones! New breakthroughs in mobile phone technology from microchip maker Texas Instruments looks to provide the leap forward with features people like Tom and Steven Spielberg dreamt about less than a decade ago, including gesture interface combined with transparent screens and 3D projection. The future appears to be now.
Check out the video above for a breakdown of the breakthroughs envisioned by the launch of this new processing platform!
Time for a little tech talk: the OMAP5 processor is a quad-core design, with 2 Cortex-A15 and 2 Cortex-M4 cores. That means the mobile phones and devices employing these microprocessors will have the computing power surpassing many of today's laptop computers!
These kind of boosts in computing horsepower are what make the Minority Report magic happen. The folks from Texas Instruments predict these little chips will have the speed and power capabilities to produce HD graphics (1080p) in 3D both from a device without glasses and through an auxiliary projector. You put that together with sensors for movement and means to interact with projection and – BAM – you have John Anderton's computer in the palm of your hand!
We are totally excited to see this technology happen in a hurry!
While the features the OMAP5 technology will likely bring to mobile phones is still a while away in development, you can catch a glimpse of how it will play out in real life with a look back to the Minority Report DVD. If you're serious about scrutinizing technology that the future may soon bring, you may consider picking up a copy of the DVD for your home. Check out the details below:
The team at TomCruise.com is still trying to figure out which is more amazing, that Philip K. Dick had the foresight to predict this technology decades before it happened, Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg making it tangible for our minds with their cinematic vision, or that these incredible devices are finally coming to reality! It's like a chicken or egg argument.
What do you think about the announcement of this new mobile technology? Are you excited about getting a phone or tablet with OMAP5 to make Minority Report magic become a reality? Is any of this blowing your mind? Let us know in the comments section!
Also, feel free to use through the conversational and social technology we're all familiar with: Facebook and Twitter! The team at TomCruise.com is always on the lookout for your opinions on technology, movies and anything else that's on your mind. Best!

Staying at the apartment of Cristina and John was great. Both are wonderful hosts. Cristina and John made us feel very welcome and given us a lot of information about Porto. The apartment was spotlessly clean and decorated with lots of charm. The historic ambience was maintained by a gentle stylish renovation. In the apartment nothing was missing and the views of the cathedral from the balcony was awesome. The apartment is very quiet and is located in the pedestrian zone. Everything is very good erreichbat on foot. We thank our hosts Cristina and John very much for everything. We are happy to return to this place wunscherschönen.
Christa and Selina
Der Aufenthalt im Apartement von Cristina und John war grossartig. Die beiden sind wunderbare Gastgeber. Cristina und John haben uns herzlich willkommen geheissen und uns viele Informationen über Porto mitgegeben. Die Wohnung war blitzsauber und mit viel Charme eingerichtet. Das historische Ambiente wurde durch eine sanfte stilvolle Renovation beibehalten. In der Wohnung fehlte es an nichts und die Aussicht auf die Kathedrale vom Balkon aus war einmalig. Die Wohnung ist sehr ruhig gelegen und befindet sich in der Fussgängerzone. Alles ist sehr gut zu Fuss erreichbat. Wir danken unseren Gastgebern Cristina und John ganz herzlich für alles. Wir kehren gerne an diesen wunscherschönen Ort zurück.
Christa und Selina
Cristina & John are very nice and helpful people, giving lots of information at arrival. House in the middle of Porto old town (pedestrian zone), many nice shops, bars and restaurants in the neighborhood, very close to the river and many sightseeing spots. Don't bring a car, parking is difficult. Flat very clean and decent, well-equipped. Only one negative point: the ventilation of the downstairs restaurant is somewhat annoying, since it's close to the windows and runs half of the night.
Anyway: Thanks for the nice stay, we enjoyed Porto very much!
We very much enjoyed our stay. Nice welcome, clean and nice apartment in a charming street and central location in the center!
We hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf. Prettig ontvangst, schoon en leuk appartement in een sfeervol straatje en centrale lokatie in het centrum!
Great apartment, very sweet and romantic. Best location! and above all quiet. The apartment is equipped with everything you need. Cristina and her husband are very kind !!
We will in turn that's for sure!
Tolle Wohnung, sehr süß und romantisch. Beste Lage! und vorallem ruhig. Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet was man so braucht. Cristina und ihr Mann sind sehr liebenswürdig!!
Wir kommen wieder- das ist schon mal sicher!
Hello There,
We can definitely recommend this apartment.
The location is great (many attractions are within walking distance).
We were warmly welcomed and provided with valuable tips.
wir können diese Wohnung definitiv empfehlen.
Die Lage ist super (viele Sehenswürdigkeiten können zu Fuß erreicht werden).
Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und mit wertvollen Tipps versorgt.
Wonderful hosts, both Cristina et her husband John. The directions to get to the apartment could not have been more accurate. Then during our 1st meeting they gave us very useful information on restaurants (which we visited and which were excellent). They also told us about a Fado dinner night, but when there was no Fado that night they looked for another place. We called immediately and booked the last table. It was fabulous! Many many thanks!
We stayed in Porto for a week and we really felt at home in this appartment. The kitchen was well equipped with all the tools you might need to cook a meal or make an espresso or tea. Christina and her family gave us a warm welcome, some advice about where to go and contacts to go surfing.
Even though during the day there was roadwork in front of the house, it did not bother us, since the appartement was located on the other side of the building. (Besides, the work seemed to progress quickly.) Instead we enjoyed waking up to the sounds of seagulls and church bells.
From the appartement you can easily walk the whole old town or simply use the close by public transportation to reach more dinstant locations. We strongly recommend trying it out for yourselves and have a great time experiencing Porto!
Warm, quite charming hosts. Home conveniently located close to attractions. The entire apartment was adequate. We went at a time when the temperature was very hot, which is somewhat impede our comfort. Endoit recommended. Sorry for the fans of TV or radio ...
Accueil chaleureux, hôtes tout a fait charmants. Logis bien situé à proximité des sites à visiter. L'appartement tout a fait convenable. Nous sommes allés à un moment où la température était très chaude, ce qui a nuit quelque peu à notre confort. Endoit recommandable. Désolé pour les amateurs de TV ou de radio...
We had a wonderful time in this large three-bedroom apartment. The
benevolent ribbon windows overlook the Parque da Cidade and the
Atlantic Ocean. The old fishing village Matosinhos with very good and
inexpensive restaurants is at walking distance. Matosinhos is the
hometown of Portugal's most prominent modern-day architect: Álvaro
Siza Vieira. The village houses a couple of his early works, such as
the Boa Nova tea house and a swimming pool overlooking the sea at Leça
de Palmeira. But the metropolis of Porto is not far away. The metro
line takes less than half an hour to reach the city center with its
broad vistas, small alleys in the medieval town called Ribeira and its
wonderful bridges over the river Douro. Porto, a city to fall in love
Super nice apartment, tastefully decorated in a top location. One can quite postage Walk from there on foot. Very nice and courteous owner - all in all, highly recommended!
Super schönes Appartement, geschmackvoll eingerichtet in einer Top-Lage. Man kann ganz Porto von dort aus zu Fuß erlaufen. Sehr nette und zuvorkommende Vermieter - alles in allem: sehr empfehlenswert!

Poll: Online Recruitment Through Jobsites Preferred Method for Region's Employers
More than half of the region's employers (52%) have said that using top jobsites is their preferred method of sourcing talent, according to the results of a recent online poll series conducted by the Middle East's number one jobsite, Bayt.com.
Traditional methods of recruitment have now been relegated according to the results: just 11% of recruiters favor newspaper adverts, 9% prefer talent recommendations via word of mouth and 7% prefer finding talent via their own career website. Interestingly, careers fairs, seen as the mainstay method for finding employees in the region, was the preferred method by just 5% of those surveyed.
The 'Using Online Job Sites' June poll series conducted by Bayt.com sought to understand from employers just how significant a role online recruitment plays in their organisations and what they consider the benefits of online recruitment to be.
When it came to employers' opinions on what the main advantages of online recruitment are, it was felt that there was a combination of advantages, but most pertinently was the fact that it is faster than other recruitment methods to which 21% of employers agreed.
Another advantage that 10% of employers found is that it is easier than other methods, while 9% agreed it was more far reaching than other methods of recruitment. A further 5% felt it was the cheapest method for recruitment, while 4% considered it more efficient. Unsurprisingly, many of those that participated in the poll (40%) considered that there wasn't one main advantage to online recruitment – its advantage lay in a combination of factors.
When asked how many professionals they have managed to source online in the past year, the employers had varying levels of success. A quarter of those that participated in the poll said that they have managed to source between one to five professionals, while 23% said they had managed to source more than 15 professionals. Additionally, 6% of employers sourced between six and fifteen employees.
"The fact that the vast majority of employers surveyed have successfully recruited online, suggests that it has so far been a very beneficial method for finding top talent" commented Amer Zureikat, Bayt.com.
Furthermore, employers were asked how many professionals they aim to recruit online over the next year. More than three quarters of employers that participated in the poll answered they were going to recruit online: 30% stated they aim to recruit between one and five professionals, 12% aim to recruit between six and ten professionals, 7% between 11 and 15 and 29% more than 15 professionals.
"That so many are planning to recruit online this year makes it very clear that organisations trust it as a method for sourcing talent, and that it will likely have an increasingly fundamental role to play in the recruitment strategies of HR departments across the region. It would be interesting to see over the course of the next couple of years how these figures change: the trend of online recruitment is currently gaining momentum for all kinds of reasons – including greater internet penetration and literacy in the region – and it is likely that soon the vast majority of organisations will use online recruitment for some, if not all, of their talent-sourcing requirements," said Amer Zureikat.
In terms of how recruitment practices have changed between this year and the last, most organisations have made some adjustments, perhaps as a result of the economic downturn.
A total of 16% said they were using the most cost effective hiring methods, 13% said they have hiring freezes and another 13% said they were only replacing staff that leave. Surprisingly however, another 16% said they were hiring more staff than last year, suggesting some organisations are thriving, even during these challenging economic times.
"The data that we glean from polls such as these, which take the pulse of the region's employers, provides very real and up to the minute insights into the region's business environment and the current trends in recruitment. Not only is this of great interest to businesses around the region, but it can serve as a tool for HR professionals and other industry stakeholders to understand how recruitment practices can be improved – to secure the best talent for greater competitive advantage," concluded Amer Zureikat.
Data for the 'Using Online Job Sites' employer poll series was collected online between the period of 31st May and 13th July 2009, with a total of 564 employers across the Middle East. This and other Middle East human resources research is available online at www.bayt.com.

Russia refuses to free Greenpeace vessel ignoring UN maritime tribunal order
The United Nations maritime tribunal has ordered Russia to free a Greenpeace vessel and 30 people detained after an oil drilling protest in the Arctic. The court in the German city of Hamburg said a bond of 3.6 million Euros should be posted.
A Russian statement after the ruling said the Hamburg tribunal had no jurisdiction in the case.
The Arctic Sunrise and its crew were detained in September. All but one of those held have now been granted bail. The vessel was sailing under a Dutch flag when it was stopped and searched.
The Dutch authorities, who brought the case, argued that Russia had violated international law by failing to respect the freedom of navigation.
The Greenpeace activists were staging a protest against Arctic oil drilling at a Russian fixed gas platform.
Initially they were charged with piracy, but the charges were later reduced to hooliganism. Russia argues it was entitled to make the arrests because it claims the activists were breaking Russian laws.
Greenpeace is to appeal against the continued detention of an Australian activist in St Petersburg next week.
The Hamburg tribunal is an independent, international judicial body which adjudicates in disputes over the interpretation and application of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. It is made up of 21 elected members.

Some residents of the Church Street Towers in Lancaster were out of their apartments just after midnight Sunday because of high levels of carbon monoxide.
Fire Capt. Ken Barton said there was a problem with the furnace just after 11 p.m. Saturday, and due to the high levels of carbon monoxide residents on the first and second floors were moved from their apartments to the community room.
Crews shut off the furnaces and residents were allowed back in less than two hours later, but they were without heat.
Officials said three people were taken to a hospital with symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

A 15-year-old slain after he walked outside his North Charleston home.
A popular private-school teacher shot in his car at The Battery.
An ex-con gunned down outside a busy King Street bar.
All unsolved.
In fact, police in the Lowcountry have been unable to solve 15 homicides from last year. Seven of those cases were in Charleston, where investigators have been impeded by factors such as a lack of evidence and a lack of witnesses and cooperation, Lt. Richard Moser said.
"We don't ever close them," Moser said. "We keep working on them. Any new leads that come in, we follow up."
The Lowcountry saw a record number of killings in 2006 — 77 in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties. Despite the staggering totals, larger agencies reported closing cases at rates above the national average, which has hovered around 65 percent during the past decade, Bureau of Justice Statistics figures show.
With arrests made or suspects identified in all but seven of the city's 23 homicides last year, Charleston police have a clearance rate just under 70 percent. North Charleston police have closed all but four of their 29 homicides from last year, a clearance rate of 86 percent.
National statistics show that police have more luck solving cases involving younger victims. But North Charleston's unsolved killings involve some of the city's youngest dead.
They included Kodama Parks-Carter, 15, shot less than a block from his Barnwell Street home about 9 p.m. Sept. 16.
He came from a family of seven brothers and two sisters. His mother, Dosher Parks-Carter, now wears a metal necklace engraved with his name and image to remember him. She heard gunfire from her home the night of the shooting.
"There were people out there, so somebody had to know what happened," she said. "But nobody will say anything."
She knows if it was one of their children, they would want somebody to come forward.
Kodama's 27-year-old sister, Chineka Carter, still worries about five other siblings between the ages of 11 and 19. She constantly checks on them, fearing the killer could be someone nearby.
"We don't know anything," she said. "We don't know if it was someone they were with every day."
Other young victims in North Charleston included Gennaro Wine, 17, shot Jan. 24, 2006, and left to die in the middle of Chateau Avenue in the Park Circle area; and Ricardo James Bailey, 20, gunned down during a Nov. 7 confrontation on Ranger Drive in the Waylyn area.
Investigators have developed strong leads in the Wine case, police spokesman Spencer Pryor said.
Circumstances in some of Charleston's unsolved cases make detectives think there are witnesses who know what happened.
These cases include Jameco Harley, 31, shot Sept. 18 outside a home he was visiting on President Street; David Christopher Holmes, 26, who died in a Sept. 25 shootout downtown that also wounded two other men; and Graylin Milligan, 27, shot Nov. 12 outside LJ's Soulfood Cafe on King Street.
Police are less certain about whether any witnesses exist in cases such as the Feb. 28, 2006, shooting death of Robert Magwood Jr., 27, a police officer's son, on upper King Street; or the Aug. 19 slaying of private-school teacher Clifton Harris Jr., 57, on The Battery.
Lowcountry law enforcement agencies are seeing similar levels of violence in 2007 compared with last year.
Charleston police had not identified suspects in three of the city's eight homicides as of late last week. North Charleston police had closed five of seven homicides. And the Charleston County Sheriff's Office, which cleared all five of its homicides last year, had closed three of four cases.
Fifteen Lowcountry killings from 2006 remain unsolved.
Seven of 23 homicide cases remain open:
Feb. 28: Robert Magwood Jr., 27, of Charleston. Magwood was gunned down near King and Congress streets about 5:40 a.m., just a few hundred feet from a temporary agency where he had been working. Police found about a dozen shell casings near his body.
July 16: Isaac Larone Jones, 20, of Charleston. Jones was shot several times at Line and Nassau streets. The ShotSpotter gunfire detection system alerted police to gunshots around 4 a.m. Jones' bicycle was lying nearby.
July 23: Pamela Fyall Washington, 43, of Charleston. Washington was found in Dereef Park off Morris Street, her head smashed and her throat cut.
Aug. 19: Clifton Harris Jr., 57, of West Ashley. Harris, a popular teacher at First Baptist Church School, was found shot to death inside his car at The Battery shortly after 3 a.m.
Sept. 18: Jameco Harley, 31, of Charleston. Harley was fatally shot while exiting a car outside a house he was visiting on President Street between 4:30 and 5 a.m.
Sept. 25: David Christopher Holmes, 26, of Charleston. Holmes died after the car he was driving was sprayed with bullets near Spring and Coming streets between 4:30 and 4:45 a.m. He crashed the car on the Crosstown Expressway. Two other men in the car were wounded.
Nov. 12: Graylin Milligan, 27, of Charleston. Milligan was shot to death outside LJ's Soulfood Cafe on King Street around 3 a.m. There were about 30 people inside the bar at the time.
North Charleston
Four of 29 homicide cases remain open:
Jan. 24: Gennaro Wine, 17, of North Charleston. Wine was shot and left to die in the middle of Chateau Avenue about 10 p.m. Wine's friends told detectives that he had been in an argument with someone earlier that night.
Aug. 6: Kerry Darnell Spencer, 34, of North Charleston. Spencer was shot around 10:30 p.m. after reportedly venturing into the Chicora-Cherokee neighborhood to buy drugs. He was shot during a struggle with two men on bicycles who had approached the car, reached in the windows and tried to rob him.
Sept. 16: Kodama Parks-Carter, 15, of North Charleston. Kodama was shot to death near his Barnwell Street home around 9:15 p.m. His brother told police he dragged him there after finding him wounded between two nearby trailers.
Nov. 7: Ricardo James Bailey, 20, of North Charleston. Bailey was gunned down and another man wounded during an apparent robbery attempt on Ranger Drive just after 3 a.m.
Berkeley County
The Sheriff's Office has three unsolved cases from 14 homicides last year:
Jan. 22: Rodney Tobias Major Jr., 30, of Summerville. Major was sitting in his car with a woman in a vacant lot near North Rhett Avenue at 2 a.m. when someone rapped on the window. Major was shot after he stepped out of the car.
Sept. 7: Moses Williams, 44, and Marcus Vincent Irving, 26, of Cross. The two Jamaican men were gunned down at a mobile home in Cross around 9:30 p.m. by a gunman protected by body armor. The victims had been living under fictitious names.
Dorchester County
One of two homicides sheriff's deputies worked last year remains unsolved:
May 6: Andre Tyrone Williams, 17, of North Charleston. Williams was shot to death just after midnight in front of an abandoned home in the Stratton Capers neighborhood off Ashley Phosphate Road. On the streets, Williams was known as "Puppy Toe."

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Scientists at UC San Francisco say they have found a more precise way to turn off genes, a finding they believe will speed research discoveries and biotech advances and may eventually prove useful in reprogramming cells to regenerate organs and tissues. The strategy borrows from the molecular toolbox of bacteria, using a protein employed by microbes to fight off viruses, according to the researchers, who describe the technique in the current issue of Cell.
Turning off genes is a major goal of treatments that target cancer and other diseases. In addition, the ability to turn genes off to learn more about how cells work is a key to unlocking the mysteries of biochemical pathways and interactions that drive normal development as well as disease progression.
"We've spent energy and effort to map the human genome, but we don't yet understand how the genetic blueprint leads to a human being, and how we can manipulate the genome to better understand and treat disease," explained Wendell Lim, Ph.D., a senior author of the study. Dr. Lim is director of the UCSF Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology, a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator, and professor of cellular and molecular pharmacology.
The new technology developed by the team of UCSF and UC Berkeley researchers is called CRISPR interference, which "is a simple approach for selectively perturbing gene expression on a genome-wide scale," noted said Lei Stanley Qi, Ph.D., a UCSF systems biology bellow who was the lead author of the Cell study. "This technology is an elegant way to search for any short DNA sequence in the genome, and to then control the expression of the gene where that sequence is located."
The technique will allow researchers to more easily and accurately trace patterns of gene activation and biochemical chains of events that take place within cells, added Dr. Qi, and will help scientists identify key proteins that normally control these events and that may go awry in disease.
Unlike conventional RNA interference techniques, CRISPR interference allows any number of individual genes to be silenced at the same time, he continued. "In addition, it acts more crisply, if you will, by not turning off untargeted genes the way RNA interference techniques do."
Another methodology, RNA interference, blocks the messenger RNA that drives protein protection based on the blueprint contained within a gene's DNA sequence. By preventing protein production, RNA interference may be used to get around the problem of difficult-to-target proteins, a frequent challenge in drug development.
But CRISPR interference acts one step earlier in the cell's protein manufacturing process, said Jonathan Weissman, Ph.D., a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator and a UCSF professor of cellular and molecular pharmacology, who is another senior author on the work.
"The horse has already left the barn with RNA interference, in the sense that the RNA message already has been transcribed from DNA," he explained. "With CRISPR interference, we can prevent the message from being written."
CRISPR (an acronym for 'clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats') is a system that bacteria use to defend themselves against viruses. CRISPR acts like a vaccine, incorporating bits of genes from viruses. Bacteria can reference this library of virus genes to recognize and attack viral invaders.
Dr. Qi and colleagues used a protein from this system, called Cas9, as a chassis into which they can insert any specific RNA partner molecule. The selected RNA serves as an adaptor that determines the target anywhere within the genome. "Targeting the machinery to new sites is extremely flexible and quick," said Dr. Qi.
The research team was able to get the system to work in mammalian cells as well as bacterial cells, and is working to improve its efficiency in mammalian cells, including human cells. The team aims to couple the Cas9 chassis to an enzyme that will enable the technology to turn genes on as well as off.

Sunray's Colton Wilson has a chance to become at least the third Panhandle-area player to reach 5,000 rushing yards for his career. The Bobcats senior enters today's game against Stratford with 4,247 yards and will need 753 to accomplish what Quanah's Setrick Dickens and Perryton's Mike McKinley did previously. Barring injury, Wilson has five regular-season games and perhaps some playoff games. He has played in 30 games and is averaging more than 141 yards per game. At that pace, he would finish the regular season with 4,955 career rushing yards.

Editor's Note: We appreciate Dr Braunwald providing his professional and transparent explanation to clarify the differences in the reported financial disclosures among several of his recent publications in JAMA. We fully recognize that determining relevant financial relationships involves judgment and that reporting of financial disclosure information certainly is not an exact science. In fact, in one of the Commentaries1 that Dr Braunwald mentions, his co-author, Dr Gheorghiade, had reported to JAMA that he had received consulting fees from Bayer, Novartis, Sigma Tau, Johnson & Johnson, Takeda, Otsuka, and Medtronic. However, these disclosures inadvertently were omitted from the published article. The editors apologize for this oversight and regret this error. We urge all authors to fully disclose all possible conflicts of interest as recommended by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. A correction regarding the clarification of conflict of interest disclosures for Drs Braunwald and Gheorghiade appears in this issue.

Via GamePro
There has been a lot speculation regarding how many Wii U controllers you'll be able to need in Nintendo's forthcoming home console which is slated to arrive in 2012. Well, according to Nintendos main boss Shigeru Miyamoto, the upcoming Wii successor will only support one Wii U controller per system.
"Our basic premise is that you can use one with a system," says Miyamoto in an interview with GamePro. "If we got to an idea of having multiple, it might be just more convenient for people to use their Nintendo 3DS and have a way to connect that. That being said, we are doing research about if someone brings their controller to their friend's house and they want to play together on Wii U to whether or not something like that would be possible."
GamePro speculates that "part of the reason behind this may be the fact that even with the Wii U's enhanced processing power over its predecessor, there might still not enough there to run more than one of the controllers at once." Nintendo officially announced its brand new home console at their E3 press conference earlier this week.

Wii = best choice
Gamecube = fassive mailure
The Wii is VERY MUCH worth the money.
EDIT: After playing Twilight Princess on the Wii, you'll NEVER want to use a gamepad again for any Zelda game.
Okay, so I've been trying to get a wii, and am getting a bit frustrated at how hard they are to come by, and I really want to play twilight princess already!
Do you think I should just get TP for gamecube instead? Are the controls just for TP alone worth $250, because I don't like the looks of any of the other launch titles. Are the upcoming titles looking better? I'm looking forward to MP3, Resident Evil UC, and possibly Mario Galaxy, but that's all I've seen.
I'm not really worried about graphics, since I have a 360 for that, and was looking for something a bit... different. Plus I grew up on nintendo games, and i still have a soft spot for them.
Mainly, should I keep looking for a Wii, or just stick with my gamecube for now? I'm afraid that if I buy TP for gamecube now though, that if I decide to buy a Wii later, I'll be pissed I didn't get it for the Wii in the first place. I'm just worried if the system will be worth it, you know last gen games technically, controls that some call gimmicky. I'm sure the graphics and gameplay will be better than TP for a lot of games, since it's just a port of a game originally developed for GC though.
I really like the archery etc. in TP on the wii (using the analog stick with the bow is torture at times), but a console is a decently-sized purchase, and I want to be sure it's a good investment, and that the novelty of the Wiimote won't wear off too quickly.
What I'm really asking for is user opinions. Do you members like your systems? Are they worth it?

i was also just thinking, my first console was the gamecube (I know), so I didn't get to play those NES and SNES games everyone raves about. Or Super Mario 64 (I've played OoT and Majora's Mask on collector's edition gamecube disks, so I haven't completely missed out). So I think the Wii might be worth it for me just for TP and virtual console. Add MP3 and Mario, possibly Resident evil, and I could be occupied for quite a while. I'm sure my friends would appreciate an extra controller for wii sports too.

I've heard about lag between you and link's sword on-screen.Originally Posted by Spyro
Is in noticeable?
I didn't notice any lag and I have an LCD HDTV (which are the only TV's that are known to have any sort of lag, if they are built crappy).
Even if it did, it wouldn't matter. You get to a point where you don't try to do cool moves with the Wiimote (about 4 minutes into the game) and you just shake it violently until all enemies are dead, lol.
But the members here will tell you that shaking the wiimote violently is a buttload of fun!
Xbox live tag: Terrador
lol so no *left right up jab jump* kind of thing just *leftrightleftrightleftrightleftrightleftrightleft rightleftrightleftright yay they're all dead!* kind of thing?Originally Posted by Spyro
and by lag i meant is the motion from the wiimote 1:1 with link's sword? or is it like commands? if so is there a delay from when you swing your wiimote to when link swings his sword? on another note, is the stab a jab with the wiimote, or is it up on the nunchuck and a horizontal swing? I can't find a straight answer to that on the net, or maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
edit: does the gamcube controller work well as an n64/snes controller in virtual console, or should I buy the classic controller? I already have like 6 gamecube controllers (actually 5, the x and b button on one of them sticks (3rd party turbo junk)). Honestly, I want completely wireless (members of the family have tripped over the power lead to the gamecube countless times causing me to loose unsaved progress in OoT), so I may buy a used wavebird to go along with the wii if I get it, which I most likely am.
Last edited by gregjp48; 08-15-2007 at 11:50 PM.
If you just want it for Zelda then get the GC one. The motion sensing isn't very useful in Zelda since you just shake the controller left and right and that does the same exact thing as it would do if you pushed a button on the GC controller.
hey , wii is real time... so, "Link" will move just like you

Football Welcomes Legendary Strength Coach to Campus
Ball State's football program welcomed Johnny Parker, an expert in strength and conditioning to campus, to visit with coaches, strength coaches and staff.
"We greatly enjoy having visitors like Coach Parker spend time around our program," Ball State head football coach Pete Lembo said. "It is important for us to keep learning and evaluating what we do and how we do it. Coach Parker has been a great resource for David Feeley through the years. It is always special to have a mentor around to provide meaningful feedback."
Parker competed in football and track at Shaw High School in South Carolina, before graduating from Mississippi in 1968. He served as the linebackers coach at Indianola Academy before being hired by South Carolina in 1974. Parker spent three seasons on the South Carolina football staff before becoming the first strength and conditioning coach in the Big 10 Conference when hired by Indiana in 1977. He went on to be the strength and conditioning coach at Louisiana State and Mississippi before entering the National Football League.
"Having such an accomplished person like Coach Johnny Parker here to provide our strength staff with feedback in what we do in the weight room and how we do it is priceless," Ball State football strength and conditioning coordinator David Feeley said. "Without question he made our strength staff better, which will have a positive ripple effect on enhancing the way we develop our players."
Parker went to the New York Giants in 1984 and worked there for nine years, including for the 1986 and 1990 Super Bowl Championship teams. In 1993, Parker moved on to the New England Patriots where he spent seven seasons. He moved on to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and helped them to the 2003 Super Bowl Championship. In 2005, Parker was hired by the San Francisco 49ers before retiring after a 34-year career.
Parker, who went to Russia to study under gold-medal winning Olympic weightlifting coaches in the 1980s, was honored in 1994 by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society with the Super Bowl Achievement Award.

Badr Hari Returns to the Ring on November 9th Against Alexey Ignashov Featured
- Written by Dave Walsh
- font size decrease font size increase font size
The rumor over the past week or so was that Badr Hari would be back in the ring for the LEGEND promotion, based out of Russia, but let's be honest with ourselves here, it felt like a longshot at best. Badr Hari is due in court in October for his trial which will decide his fate for the brutal beating of Koen Everink at the Amsterdam ArenA last year. So when rumors of him participating in the next LEGEND event, which was scheduled for October 31st, started sprouting it up it seemed that they were overly confident in his court case.
That confidence has not wavered, though, as it looks like these rumors were true. According to De Telegraaf in the Netherlands, Badr Hari is set to fight for LEGEND on November 9th against none other than Alexey Ignashov. One would have to think that this could fall through if Badr is found guilty, but maybe not, who knows? Golden Glory founder Ron Nyqvist escaped from prison in July when he was given a "break" from prison (yes, a break from prison!) and was apprehended this last week, so it feels like anything is possible with how international judicial systems work.
The last time that Badr Hari was in the ring was in May at LEGEND against Zabit Samedov, with Samedov stopping Hari and shocking the world.

About Eliza Carthy
The daughter of British guitarist/vocalist Martin Carthy and vocalist Norma Waterson, Eliza "Liza" Carthy has continued in her parents' footsteps. Carthy and her solo work have showcased her ability to breathe new life into England's traditional folk music. According to Dirty Linen, Carthy "has turned into a marvelous vocalist who has drawn equally from the craft and the idiosyncrasies of both her parents' distinctive styles." Carthy's earliest performances came as leader of her own band, the Kings of Calicutt, in 1990. Although they recorded a self-titled album, with producer John McCusker of the Battlefield Band, in her mother's home in 1994, it wasn't released until three years later. By that time, Carthy's debut solo album, Heat Light & Sound, had been available for a year. In 1992, Carthy began to play in a highly technical duo with Nancy Kerr. Their first duo album, Eliza Carthy and Nancy Kerr, released in 1993, was followed by Shape of Scrape in 1995. Occasionally performing with her parents in the Watersons, since the early '90s Carthy has been active with a traditional folk trio, Waterson:Carthy, formed in 1994. The trio has recorded two albums, Waterson:Carthy in 1994 and Common Tongue in 1996. Carthy has also recorded with a Basque band, Hirutruku. In 1998, she released the critically acclaimed Red Rice, which received a Mercury Music Prize nod, and two years later she returned with Angels & Cigarettes. Red Rice, which is a two-disc box set of traditional songs and musical crossovers, appeared in spring 2001. Carthy returned to her folk roots on 2002's award-winning Anglicana, followed by a greatest-hits collection in 2004. The following year saw the release of Rough Music, a multi-layered collection of modern/traditional English music with her whip-smart backing band the Ratcatchers. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi

Last May, I posted a Year In Review – recapping my first year of blog posts in just 100 words. I found Year Two harder to summarize. Which either meant I had more to say, or I'm getting worse at saying it simply. I have my fingers crossed its the former. Without further adieu, here's year two:
The more variables you know, the easier the equation. But don't ask "What do we know?," ask "What do we care?" Data isn't knowledge, it's power. And it's made better through collaboration. Look at it through both The Long View and The Lens Of Right Now. Both matter. Concern yourself less with emerging media and more with merging media. Because we don't just live in an Always On world, we live in an Always On-Demand one. So right now for you is on-demand for your customer. And, when in doubt, it's worth reminding yourself the future is forever.

Clearly, new technology presents both threats and opportunities
for education. One of the opportunities is the enormous scope
for co-operation among developing countries. Malloch Brown
believes that the South is perfectly capable of finding its
own solutions to the challenges of change. He cites the Republic
of KoreaÆs experience in promoting state-of-the-art research
and development, the policies that have worked for India in
establishing its ōSilicon Valleyö in Bangalore and the emerging
software industry in Costa Rica. All these initiatives, says
Malloch Brown, can provide adaptable blueprints for development.
One of the threats is that the ōdigital divideö between those
who have access to computer skills and the Internet, and those
who donÆt, may actually widen, rather than narrow. Indian
software specialist Venkatesh Hariharan points out that because
only 10 per cent of IndiaÆs population (of one billion) speak
English, some 900 million Indians are effectively excluded
from the ōdigital revolutionö for the foreseeable future.
This is the case for speakers of minority languages everywhere:
the dominance of English on the Internet is in many ways as
much a barrier as the high cost of equipment.
Putting a computer in every classroom, besides being extremely
costly, may not necessarily be the best policy for a developing
country. The cost of delivering interactive educational radio
programmes has been estimated at somewhere between $3 and $8
per student per year, while the equivalent cost for computers
in schools is between $18 and $63 per person per year.
New technology is unlikely to be
a "magic bullet" capable
of solving problems educationalists
have been struggling with
for years.

|Official biography
Rajiv "Raj" Shah (born March 9, 1973) was the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from January 7, 2010 to February 19, 2015. He was confirmed by the Senate on December 24, 2009. In this role, Shah led more than 9,600 professionals in 80 missions around the world, and managed an annual budget of over $22 billion.
During his years at USAID, Shah also led the humanitarian response of the United States to crises such as the 2010 earthquake in Haiti,[1] famine in the horn of Africa,[2] and refugees fleeing Syria.[3]
Prior to his appointment at USAID, Shah served as Under Secretary of Agriculture for Research, Education, and Economics and Chief Scientist on April 17, 2009. Shah's nomination was confirmed by the United States Senate by unanimous consent on May 12, 2009.
Before serving in this administration, Shah worked in a range of leadership roles at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation including Director of Agricultural Development,[4] Director of Financial Services, leader of the Strategic Opportunities initiative and manager of the Foundation's $1.5 billion commitment to the Vaccine Fund.[5]
After stepping down from USAID in early 2015,[6] Shah joined Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service (SFS) faculty as a Distinguished Fellow.[7] In this role, he works closely with Steven Radelet, director of Georgetown's Global Human Development Program.[8]
Community Engagement[edit]
Shah was actively engaged in the Seattle community as a trustee of the 54,000-student Seattle Community College District, and as a member of the Board of Directors for the Seattle Public Library.[9] Shah co-founded multiple nonprofit organizations including Project Impact for South Asian Americans.[10] Prior to his appointment at USDA, Shah worked in a range of leadership roles at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.[11]
Shah became Administrator of USAID days before the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti and led the successful effort to help Haiti recover and rebuild.[1] His crisis management skills and expertise were hailed by many who appreciated his swift and strategic response.[12] In 2012, under Shah's leadership, the agency also played a pivotal role in helping Syrian refugees by providing food assistance and other humanitarian support.[13] Shah oversaw USAID's efforts in numerous other international crises, including the famine in the horn of Africa.[14]
Shah was influential in the development and implementation of Power Africa, an initiative that aims to double access to power in sub-Saharan Africa.[15] Shah leads the Administration's efforts to change America's food assistance program, including winning new flexibilities in the farm bill that would reach 1 million additional children at no additional cost.[16]

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- After months of legal wrangling over alleged misappropriated federal funding, two Alabama community health centers have a date for trial.
Jefferson County Circuit Judge Tom King scheduled a one-week trial to start July 28, 2014 in the civil lawsuit brought by Central Alabama Comprehensive Health (CACH) against Birmingham Health Care (BHC).
Motions will be heard July 18 at a pre-trial conference.
CACH sued BHC on Feb. 6, 2012, initially for conversion and breach of contract in a case dating back to 2011 when CACH ended a $225,000 per year management contract with BHC. CACH claimed BHC withheld records CACH says are essential to its financial viability and its ability to comply with federal regulations.
At that time, the CACH board of directors called for the immediate return of records from BHC and companies owned by then-CEO Jonathan Dunning.
After a series of audits, which included depositions of past and present BHC officials, CACH added "misappropriation of funds" to the lawsuit. BHC has denied the allegations.
At the hearing this morning, CACH attorney John Johnson said he would file a motion to dissolve the court's injunction barring BHC from destroying records. CACH has received more than 20 boxes of documents from BHC, he said.
"I don't think Birmingham Health Care has any more. I don't," Johnson said. "I mean do I think that there's documents that are there? They are nowhere. I believe they've produced 20-plus boxes."
Up until recently, CACH and BHC were both federally qualified health centers which give them the ability to receive higher Medicaid reimbursements and access to other federal funding to serve the poor and homeless.
CACH lost its access to federal funding several months ago in a competition to Quality of Life, a community health center based in Gadsden.
CACH's regular funding ended in April, but they were given "closeout" funds through the end of June until Quality of Life could take over, according to federal officials.

I first came across Forever 21 when I was on holiday in New York years ago and every time I have visited America since I have always made a trip to the nearest one. I particularly loved the Forever 21 I visited in Las Vegas!
When the UK Forever 21 website launched a few years back I was super excited and when I heard that one would be opening in Glasgow at some point in the future I was even more excited. When I think of the brand I firstly think of the amazing costume jewellery. Secondly I think of the affordability and good quality of the clothes (unlike Primark!).
Yesterday I decided that I would place an order. I have very few casual everyday clothes as I am always buying pretty going out dresses or spending my money on beauty products. As a result I thought I would buy some casual tops.
One of the first things I look at when I visit the Forever 21 website is the jewellery. They have the most amazing fashion jewellery and it is so cheap. I decided to buy these two pairs of earrings. I was looking for pretty earring that I could wear everyday but still look a bit glam. I am in love with both of these pairs of earrings and the best part is that they were only £3.15 each!
I spotted this girly raglan top. I loved the pretty crochet overlay with the grey. This is so nice on and will look great with skinny jeans. I cannot begin to describe how soft the material of this top is, so nice.
I loved this studded black cardigan as soon as I saw it. I don't have any casual cardigans and love the gold and silver studded shoulder detail. This cardigan has a slightly over sized look to it and feel really good quality.
Finally I ordered this mint sweatshirt, mainly because I loved the colour. This is nice and soft and is a great basic. I think this would look nice with a nice statement necklace to dress it up.
There are so many other thing I like on the website but I had to try and limit myself. I may have to place another order after Christmas :)

Health law separates potential GOP 2016 contenders
September 22, 2013
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich....
Family budgets and government budgets are not the same when it comes to their effect on the economy. Family budgets sustain a limited number of people, government budgets are to support all of society. Government spending can have major effects on the economy. It can increase employment and corporate earnings and thereby generate revenues that return the monies to the treasury. One family's spending has little effect on the economy as a whole.

ugg I hafta just laugh at these clowns. The Healthcare act is a GOP idea. 95% of it is GOP ideas framed from Romney's bill in MA. So if the GOP voted to have Romney represent their ideals and that he was the bastion of conservatism you have to get with the AHCA.

The last time the government shut down there were some separate appropriation bills that had been passed. It is my understanding that we currently don't have any such bills. Some Federal employees will have to work with the promise of later payment. Try taking that to your landlord or credit card company.

TEA PARTY EXTREMEIST AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE RIDICULUS AT BEST AND JUST PLAIN STUPID AT WORST. Really, the plan is shut down the government and add more problems for what? Because it provides healthcare to the poor who are uninsured and we are paying for the emergency room visits at emergency room prices? This new system will be better than allowing the insurance companies dictating who and how much they can steal from the middle class, remember only healthy people can get health insurance and keep it. They have no facts other than what they make up, they have no following only a few loud mouth nuts who would rather die a slow death than help their fellow man. Republicans have lost their way to extremists who are willing to destroy our country rather than provide Heath care for them. Stop allowing peer pressure from bullies(Republicans) who are all about companies and themselves and never about what's good for America. Don't help them destroy this country. Vote Democrat.

My Biggest Rookie Diaper Changing Mistakeilanawiles
Back when my daughter was a newborn, changing her diaper was more of a novelty than a chore.
It was a bonding moment— one where she stared up at me while making tiny little movements with her hands and legs as I gently explained what we were doing.
"First I am going to unsnap your onesie… then I am going to remove your diaper… "
Once I got the hang of it, I felt almost proud of my increasing agility with those little flip tabs.
I was a diaper changing natural!
(New moms can be so naive, can't they?)Soon after the baby was born, we repurposed a dresser as a changing table and put one of those foam contoured changing pads on top.
There were two straps on the bottom of the pad that looked like they were meant to attach the pad to the dresser but since we had come up with the ingenious idea of putting a rubber mat underneath so the pad wouldn't slip and felt no need to attach the pad officially, I cut those stupid straps off.
Flash forward six months.
Not only had my daughter developed an extreme hatred of being changed, she had also developed ridiculous back muscles so that when I picked up her feet, she'd arch her back in the air and spin herself towards the wall so that literally only the top of her head was still touching the table.
I would stand there dumbfounded with my daughter's bum in my face as her body writhed about and I did my best to keep a firm grasp on her legs. Otherwise, she would surely catapult herself across the room.
How could anyone possibly get a diaper on a child this acrobatic?
If only there was something attached to the foam changing pad that could strap her down!!!
What? Oh… right.
That's what those straps were for.

Single-minded shopper
Maybe it was dusty in Israel, where she was shooting The Little Drummer Girl. Or maybe there are too many cats in her West Side Manhattan apartment. Whatever the reason, Diane Keaton, 38, seems to have a thing for lint remover. She bought an armload of the stuff in a neighborhood five-and-dime, after admiring the window display of the new book she co-authored, a collection of Hollywood photos called Still Life, in a store around the corner.
Constitutional rights
At 78, Greta Garbo is still feisty enough to go after photographers who try to invade her fiercely protected privacy. Braving wind and icy temperatures in Manhattan, Garbo was caught during a customary constitutional around her Upper East Side neighborhood. When she first spotted the offending shutterbug, Garbo merely threatened him with her umbrella; eventually she gave him a gentle whack on the arm before trying to duck behind an unsuspecting pedestrian. Take the lady at her word: She wants to be alone.
Thicke as thieves
A few hours before the NHL All-Star Game got under way at New Jersey's Byrne Meadowlands Arena, talk show host Alan Thicke (left) hit the ice with superstar Wayne Gretzky, 23. Thicke, 36, played amateur hockey and is minus two teeth to prove it. The two Canadians discussed Gretzky's record-breaking 51-game point-scoring streak. Until recently, Alan has been on thin ice in the late-night ratings battle, but he notched up a point of his own when his syndicated Thicke of the Night was renewed for 26 weeks.
