CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In the fall of 2007, Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry closely examined his team. He didn't like the results.
The Cavs had just played in the NBA Finals. It seemed they were headed for a bright future behind LeBron James, who had developed into the superstar many had envisioned.
But the team was struggling, starting the '07-08 season 9-14. Some of the problem was injuries, some was two rotation players holding out with contract problems, and some was pieces that no longer fit.
Ferry saw a team that didn't have enough shooters around James, didn't have the sort of rugged defenders coach Mike Brown really wanted, and was aging quickly. So Ferry made a decision that carried some risk -- launching a rebuilding project while trying to win at the same time.
This isn't easy, of course, though James gives everyone a wider margin for error. Ferry did have a huge weapon in the battle, owner Dan Gilbert.
The trend in the league was cost-cutting, as teams began to feel the effects of a weakening economy. Meanwhile Gilbert, who always has believed investing in his business was the only way to grow, was ready to write bigger and bigger checks to help satisfy James and construct a championship game.
As time passed, the opportunities to use Gilbert's mandate only grew and Ferry got more aggressive.
"I'm extremely blessed to work with an owner that I work with; he really puts us in a position to try to succeed," Ferry said last week after Gilbert committed to spending at least an additional $30 million in a trade that brought Antawn Jamison to the Cavs.
"Dan has been so supportive of us trying to succeed."
Over the last two years, Ferry has executed four blockbuster trades, all importing talent in exchange for the willingness to spend money. He was the buyer in the middle of a recession or, as James friend and billionaire investor Warren Buffett likes to say: "be greedy only when others are fearful."
In the four trades, he's brought in eight players with a collective $140 million left on their contracts while trading away 11 players owed a combined $70 million. Four of the players brought in made more than $10 million a year when they became Cavaliers, something that didn't scare Gilbert.
Of the imports, Ferry's kept some, traded others and re-signed a few. He now has one of the deepest teams in the league.
Gilbert's willingness to accept that financial disparity in an era of cap-space clearing and money dumping, and Ferry's ability to assemble the deals have put the Cavs into the NBA's elite. Perhaps most importantly, it has impressed the most important free agent-to-be in NBA history.
"[Ferry's] done a good job in bringing in players and trying to build something," James said. "We all know how important it is to win around here and we have high expectations every year. The front office has done a great job of bringing in guys who want to win."

After 40 Years, Mulatu Astatke Still 'Sketches' Ethio-Jazz Deftly
Source: NPR
by BANNING EYRE
It is bold indeed for any jazz artist to evoke Miles Davis' landmark album Sketches of Spain. But Mulatu Astatke, like Miles, is a true original.
The music Astatke first imagined 40 years ago sounds as fresh and contemporary today as it did in the swinging Addis Ababa of 1973 when Astatke created a signature "Ethio-jazz" style by blending jazz with Ethiopian music. Decades later, he earned an international following when his early recordings appeared on reissue CDs. Now, Astatke has rewarded fans with new album called Sketches of Ethiopia.

By the way who is going to replace this Great Artist in the next Years .I know in the Diaspora Artists like Abegaz Kibrework can do perfectly the job .But Inside the country ,I am afraid "NADA" .
teddy the idiot. that is the problem with this guy. just like your master hailesselassie he just lived for him self. if an artist couldnt produce his succsessors he is just an artist but not 'great'. this guy could have done so many things to cultivate young artists like him but again he just lived for him self. i am soory this concept could be a little hard for you to understand it is understandable considering your gethho upbringing. your foul mouth and vulgar words are my witness of your back ground.
Ante Dedeb, qorqoro ras Shabia Abegaz Kibreworq is in Ethiopia at Jazz Amba club, in the old Taitu Hotel…din gay ras…
We are so proud of you SON OF ETHIOPIA.Please train some sons and daughters to follow your steeps. May you and your music live long. Bless Ethiopia and its Nations.
Wow! What a talented artist!
I'm sorry to hear that our other talented artist Teddy Mitiku is in critical condition at Maryland hospital. I wish him a speedy recovery.
By the way Teddy,
You are a breath of fresh air and you are one of the few insightful intelligent Ethiopians on this website. You are the total opposite of that one track mind Assta B. Gettu. Keep up the good work and keep it coming. Thanks.
Temtamew ,keep on your stupid bla blas for yourself ,TCHINKILATEBIS
KEWLALA BANDA !!!!For your ALZEIHMER AFFECTED ,NERO MINDED MEMORIES it's not only the youth ,the scholars and many patriots who did choose to live in "EXILE" but also the artists .
Eyugnidebukugni ,BE HILMEH NEHU BEHUNEH ,WOYES BE BANDAW ETV !!!! What a joke ,with
your daily "FUGERRA" you will finish by anouncing that Abegaz is actually performing at Tigrai Hotel and even "WHUBE BEREHA" and why not to the former Gebre Tensay Cake Bet ,on the Honor of your then Shabis masters…LOL!!! By the way Adgi , you have once again riduculised yourself .AGAZIS STOOGE AMICHE FANDYA BANDA !!!!!
you guys lack deep music knowledge, mulatu Astatke equivalent to a farmer cultivate grow seeds and harvest. whereas Abegaz cooks it, Abegaz is like Dj mixer organizer (akenabari).
Mulatu Astateke, legendery music arranger,unmistakable Ethiopian in his musical path, the master of vibraphone, piano, organ and percussion,what a great achiever !
The man and his music has no boundaries , in some sense it flows like a spring water naturally smooth and after a while to burst with great drama and emotions keeping the music all out enjoyable/alive, dynamic !
Just listen the music and take a walk down memory lane, that is, if you're bitten by the bug ( passion for the type of music + homesickness ).
Ato Mulatu if you ever visit this website , I would like to thank you for making Ethio- jazz cool / groovey without losing its cultural- encryption .
Proud to be an Ethiopian and African .
forward with comradde tamagne,
You are criticizing Teddy for something that makes sense. You on the other hand need to learn how to write first before you criticize someone else. It is himself not him self, and it is Ghetto not gethho or whatever you wrote above. I know it is not your first language but don't be lazy and just write, try to write correctly just for yourself not for me or anyone on this website. What you do when nobody is watching is having respect for yourself.
instead of commenting on the idea,you are criticizing my spelling. that is expected from those people who admire the idiocy of teddy.if you are that concerned about the language please go and correct the countless spelling and grammatical mistakes of your hero teddy. i dont use spell check religiously like you do. for me idea is primary and spelling is secondary.
Temtamew ,GO BACK TO YOUR NAP than boring us with your daily stupid Lies .You have none plitical wisdom and Idea than swallowing like a Pig your Looter Bandit Masters Baseless Propaganadas …KEFFO RAS SHINFELLA BANDA !!!!!!

CLA - Conjugated-Linolenic-Acid?
I think that's it, try waiting for most answers though.
It's driving me crazy. Someone on the boards yesterday mentioned a supplement one could take to help teach the body how to burn its fat for energy more efficiently/quickly. It was L-creatinine or something. Help?

Hi its L.Carnitine
N Acetyl Carnitine is good for memory and for weight loss. CLA has reported help in fat loss but there is very little science behind that supplement.
I like N Acetyl Carnitine, N acetyl Cysteine and Milk thistle or feverfew and high omega three supplementation based upon the Cardiac CRP numbers. Obesity is an inflammatory condition cause by leptin resistance. Anything that lowers inflammation especially at the liver level.........which all these do is a good deal.
--Trish (Bork)
FOOD PORN BLOG! http://theprimaljunkfoodie.blogspot.com
expand on what? Adiposity is a primary cause of inflammation. That is scientific fact. The fatter you are the higher your cardiac CRP. The more fat that gets stored in your liver to cause non alcoholic fatty liver. The fat inflammation then causes disruption in the metabolic cycle and sepcifically drive IL 6 TNF alpha and NF kappa beta. These all mediate human disease. All disease state have these chemicals in high concentration where they should not be to cause metabolic cell disturbance. The pathway to getting to these highly inflammatory chemicals is multiple but the end point is the same............For example being fat and smoking get you to the same end points. High levels of inflammation and chemical mediators and disease states depending upon where the damage is focused.
To give a simple analogy think of this.......IF youre in NYC with your wife and I tell you you both need to get to LA........your wife gets on a plane and gets there in 4 hours (fast like a smoker) and you go via the car and you get there 5 days later. (slow like a fat person) The bottom line is you both are in LA.........or disease land at the end. Both smokers and the obese wind up sucumbing to diseases caused by highly inflammed states. COPD, lung Cancer for smokers and cardiac disease, breast CA, and prostate CA among others for the obese.
Their are millions of references for this phenomena if you google it. If you want a rather pedestrian explanantion of the forrest thru the trees view of this science...........read Mastering Leptin by Byron Richards. His Ideas on diet are bad but how leptin resistance leads to insulin resistance then ultimately adrenal resistance and serious disease thru hormonal disruption and cellular signalling deficits is pretty basic science these days. What is not basic science is how to avoid it with the correct mix of whole foods. Gary Taubes is making many doctors re examine the published research and flaws in it.........and also uncover older studies that clearly support many paleo principles. But you cant be truly paleo and believe any part of the lipid hypothesis. I also advocate reading both of Taubes books but GCBC is not easy reading for the lay public. His new book however is far easy on the eyes.

There is no better disease to study than Type 2 Diabetes to understand how a chronic highly inflammed state wrecks havoc on multiple organ systems. If you want to be diabetic just eat like your doc tells you or the American heart assoc tells you or most cardiologist or dieticians or nutrionists. Any diet high in refined carbs whole grains and PUFA's will kill you as fast as a lead bullet through your mouth into your brainstem.
I think when your faced with what us docs are in clinic everyday you have to be brain dead not to question the current dogma.
I have and do.
I like Byron Richards as well.
L-acetyl-carnitine is supposed to help get energy into cells to be used. He also mentions many others, such as NAC, pantethine (better version of pantothenic acid), ubiquinol, calcium AEP, benfotiamine, methyl B12, it just goes on and on. I take a lot of such things. Biotin in large doses is supposed to moderate morning glucose levels. CLA is present in butter from grassfed dairy cows, thank heavens.
Keep vitamin D levels really good -- by improving calcium levels, it moderates "agouti", something which signals your appetite to increase.
I believe (if memory serves) that NAC is N-Acetyl-Cysteine, not N-Acetyl-Carnitine. (It's L-Acetyl-Carnitine, different stuff.) "Carnosine" can also help out. Different stuff again. I believe that NAC works because it's a precursor for glutathione, a really good anti-oxidant which is hard to absorb by mouth. I tried a sublingual version of glutathione, it seems like very nasty stuff with a metallic flavor from some molybdenum in it, and too much citric acid, which might well etch one's teeth. I think I prefer taking the NAC, on an empty stomach.
It takes some effort to read through "Mastering Leptin", and it's the kind of book which it is good to go back to when it all starts to blur in one's memory. But I'm convinced that a lot can be done to kick-start enough metabolism to overcome metabolic syndrome. I feel that once the process is rolling, and enough energy is freed up to fuel exercise instead of destroying muscle when one attempts it, some of these supplements can be reduced or discontinued. In the meantime, I'm glad they are there.
A critical part of everything is to master fructose intake. Keep it low. That really should be Rule One.

Would you like to intern with Thanks! Plain and Simple? Download a pdf of our intern guidelines.
We are pleased to announce that Anne Montague is available for lectures on Rosie the Riveters and their impact on America past, present and future.
To schedule a speaking engagement, please call 304 / 776-4743. Depending on the details (location, date and time) of your request, it may be possible for "Thanks!" to include a living Rosie the Riveter in the event.
To create projects in West Virginia that need to be done in America and more widely, and to do these projects so well that many people will be inspired to replicate, adapt and add to the work. These model projects will allow people to unify in their communities, in America and in the world. When possible, we also guide veterans to contribute to these projects. Our underlying belief is that people will do more good when they see how to start participating in something they believe is worthwhile.
The West Virginia Rosie the Riveter Project is a model for Americans who want to honor and educate with women who worked "on the home front" during World War II. Rosies are about 90 years old today, and there is very little time to learn from them, so we have created many ways for communities to easily work with Rosies.
Over three years, we have proven that educating about Rosie the Riveters has a far more dramatic impact on youth, adults, Rosies, and communities when Rosies are included to: a) educate about themselves, b) help communities create replicable projects to teach about Rosies (e.g create parks, DVD/CD of interviews), and c) preserve their histories.
We have created more than 20 ways for Rosies and others to educate, including original music, a documentary film, quilts by Rosies, historic visits by Allied Nations, and parks that tell the Rosie story.
In March, 2012, The Today Show taped 50 Rosies in Charleston, WV.
Our work helps America seize this brief moment in America to work with our Rosies for lasting, meaningful education. Let us know if you want to learn from us or help.
Long-term, we hope to advance that women will play new, positive roles in our changing world.
|We're helping community and national leaders participate in a movement to assure that Rosies' legacy is part of America's identity and consciousness. International awareness of the importance of Rosie to the free world and to using the strengths of women is helping Americans see the value in these women who are usually in their 90s and fading fast.
Let us know if you want to be part of this important, far past-due recognition of Rosies.

As the 2010/2011 ultimately draws nearer to it's conclusion, Arsenal's English Premier League title aspirations fade and fade, ultimately ensuring a sixth successive season in which no silverware has been achieved by the North London giants. In what was certainly a gallant effort by Arsene Wenger's men, the Gunners advanced to the Carling Cup Final before Birmingham City inflicted defeat, were eliminated in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League and the quarter final of the FA Cup, and have maintained the pressure on Manchester United in the EPL all season in second place.
However the distinct absence of trophies still dominates the Arsenal head lines which have resulted in Wenger admitting he will implement changes into his youthful squad during the up coming Summer transfer window. The Frenchman was heavily criticized for his lack of activity in transfer windows and his tentative financial approach.
However the Arsenal tactician has sufficient funds to now chase quality services in order to boost the Gunners title challenges for 2011/2012. Fans and critics alike have victimized the defence as the main area in need of reinforcements but Wenger will undoubtedly have his eye on midfield and forward prospects.
Baring in mind a number of squad players are rumoured to be nearing exits with Wenger said to be offloading some out of form members. Andrei Arshavin, Nicklas Bendtner, Manuel Almunia, Denilson, Gael Clichy and Emmanuel Eboue all have their Arsenal futures under concern. Meanwhile there is also the internal prospects that Wenger has to be wary of. A number of youngsters have impressed on loan spells and look certain to challenge for first team honours next season.
So here are the top 25 targets for Arsene Wenger to chase in a bid to reinstate Arsenal's diminishing presence on the World Football stage.

Laryngopharyngeal Reflux
Anatomy of the Condition:
In adults and children, irritating acidic juices may back up from the stomach into the esophagus and throat. It is frequently called gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. Gastroesophageal reflux disease may occur at any time, day or night. A common anatomic condition known as a hiatal hernia predisposes people to acid reflux. The most common symptom of acid reflux is heartburn, due to irritation of the lining of the esophagus.
Acid reflux can also cause problems in the larynx (voice box) or the pharynx (back of throat). This can happen to someone even if he or she is not aware of any heartburn and is called silent reflux, atypical reflux, or laryngopharyngeal reflux.
Causes or Contributing Factors:
Eating habits, diet and obesity all can contribute to larngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). Eating fewer, larger meals can lead to the disorder, so it is best to eat three of four smaller meals each day. Certain foods and products should also be avoided, including:
- Carbonated beverages
- Coffee or tea
- Orange juice and other acidic beverages
- Spicy food
- High-fat foods
- High-fiber foods
- Alcohol
Mints, lozenges and mouthwashes may seem to soothe the throat but can actually irritate the throat lining and stimulate acid production.
LPR is sometimes called silent reflux, because it may be present without any feelings of heartburn or with very mild symptoms. However, in many cases heartburn is a symptom. Other symptoms include:
- Dry cough
- Hoarseness or voice loss
- Postnasal drip
- Sensation of lump or something stuck in the throat
- Sore throat
- Chronic throat clearing
In a very small number of cases, the condition may be more severe causing major complications such as pneumonia, vocal scarring, airway narrowing and ulcers in the larynx. Chronic laryngophargeal reflux can even lead to cancer of the esophagus in rare instances.
Preventive measures:
- Hydration of the throat by drinking lots of water
- Weight loss
- No smoking
- Eating smaller meals, three or four times a day
- Avoidance of food at least three hours before bedtime
- Eating slowly
- Avoidance of acid-producing medications such as aspirin and NSAIDs
- Sleeping with head elevated
The Emory Voice Center team will ask the patient about symptoms and medical history, followed by a thorough head and neck examination. The examination likely will involve several members of the team to assess vocal quality, efficiency, and proper speaking technique.
Laryngeal videostroboscopy may be required. This is a procedure using a flexible and/or rigid endoscope coupled to a video monitor and a stroboscopic light source to allow for detailed visual evaluation of laryngeal function and vibration.
In some situations, the physician may order a test called ambulatory 24-hour pH monitoring. This test uses a small measuring tube which is inserted in the patient's throat to monitor acid. The acid activity is then recorded over a 24-hour period.
Non-Operative Treatments:
Most cases can be managed through medications to reduce acid production, diet modifications, and a weight loss program.
Operative Treatments:
In some severe cases or in cases with complications, surgery may be necessary. Occasionally, microlaryngoscopy may be required. It is a procedure conducted under general anesthesia which allows the physician to examine the vocal folds of the larynx with magnification tools.

The powerful lotus plant has been used in East and South East Asian traditional medicine and cuisine for centuries. The lotus' long history has earned it the title of India's national flower and a symbol of purity in Buddhist and Hindu traditions.
A bowl-shaped perennial, the lotus is often confused with water lilies. There are over 100 species of lotus, but you're probably most familiar with the white single-flower lotus, which has around two-dozen petals. Other types include the double-flowered lotus, which can have over 100 petals, as well as pink and red varieties.
Although this plant goes back generations, the science behind its medicinal potential has only recently come under study. What kinds of conditions might this flower be able to treat?
1. Soothe your stomach. One of the lotus' most common uses in traditional Chinese medicine is stopping diarrhea. To try this natural remedy, soak lotus seeds in warm water for a few hours and then add rock sugar until you find a taste you like.
Note: People suffering from constipation should avoid using lotus.
2. Lower your blood sugar and cholesterol. Lotus root contains both fiber and complex carbohydrates. These two components work together to help manage your body's cholesterol and blood sugar and help maintain a slow and steady digestive process.
3. Relieve inflammation. Inflammation is usually accompanied by a sensation of heat. It's an uncomfortable side effect or symptom of many conditions. It can also be caused by trauma, chemical exposure, or physical injury.
Recent research suggests that the seeds of both red and white lotus varieties could help reduce inflammation. A 2013 study found that two polysaccharides in lotus plumule have significant anti-inflammatory effects and show promise as a base for future treatment.
- There are over 100 varieties of lotus.
- The flowers, leaves, and seeds of the lotus plant are all edible.
- Like most alternative treatments, scientific study is still in its beginning stages.
4. How about some lotus for lunch? The stem of the lotus plant is full of minerals and nutrients — such as vitamin C — that are important for your body's day-to-day function. One of these minerals is potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure.
How to cook it: Boil lotus roots for 10 minutes and then eat them to receive a healthy dose of nutrients. Lotus root is a common ingredient in many Asian dishes and can be prepared in practically every way.
5. No more acne? If you struggle with acne, lotus might be able to help. Sebum is the waxy substance that can cause acne breakouts when it builds up and clogs your skin's pores. According to 2013 research, adding lotus to green tea can significantly reduce the amount of sebum that your glands produce.
6. Ease your period. Lotus leaves and root extracts have been used in traditional Chinese medicine to help regulate the menstrual cycle and stop excess bleeding. There isn't a lot of scientific research to back these claims, but some practitioners suggest that drinking lotus root juice or lotus soup can help you avoid anemia after menstruation by building blood to replace what was lost.
7. Do you have a cough? Put a traditional practice to the test by following the recommendation of this recent study, which suggests mixing lotus seed powder with honey to soothe your cough.
8. Could lotus be a cancer cure? Research conducted in 2014 found that neferine, an organic compound in the lotus seed embryo, has the potential to kill and hinder the spread of lung cancer cells. This suggests a possible future in the treatment of this deadly disease.
The Takeaway
The lotus is a beautiful symbol of healing. The flower is certainly not new to medicine, but scientific research is still underway to uncover how this powerful plant works and new ways to put it to use.
Consider trying a simple lotus remedy or supplement for a natural healing approach. As with all herbal remedies, be sure to talk to your doctor before including lotus in your daily regimen. It may interact with various medications and health conditions.

This story sounds familiar to me. Even though I was great in algebra for several years, when I attended Intermediate algebra there were a lot of math topics that seemed so complicated . I remember I got a very bad grade when I took the test on divide polynomials with a ti-84. Now I don't have this issue anymore, I can solve anything quite easily , even linear equations and triangle similarity. I was smart that I didn't spend my money on a tutor, because I heard of Algebrator from a student . I have been using it since then whenever I found something complicated.

Algebrator indeed is a very good software to help you learn math, sitting at home . You won't just get the problem solved but the entire solution as well, that's how concepts are built . And to score well in math, it's important to have strong concepts. I would advise you to use this software if you want to finish your assignment on time.

are a couple of authentic resources that give out the Algebrator. But, before placing the order, get to know what it offers and how is it different by reading the feedback online. From my personal experience, I can vouch that you can begin using Algebrator right away without any assistance since the tool is fully easy and very much self- explanatory .

Experience credits earned prior to that date and submitted before December 31, 1991, count toward the 300 total credit requirement for certification as well as the requirements for Honor Society and the MCM designation. They do not count toward the Education or Association Activity credit requirements for certification.
NOTE 4: Assistant managers who have completed all other CCM eligibility requirements and have been unable to attend one CMAA World Conference will be permitted to substitute 50 or more additional CMAA Education credits (CMI and/or chapter) for attendance at a World Conference.

NOTE 5: The BMI I requirement is waived for managers who have earned an associate degree in a hospitality course of study from an accredited college or university, successfully completed the Air Force Basic Club Managers Course or have completed the ClubCorp Star University program.
The Certification Process
How to apply for certification:
1. File the Certification Petition Form provided by CMAA together with the non-refundable petition fee of $75. A Certification Petition is included in each CMAA Yearbook and can be found on page 27 of this brochure.
2. Members need not have completed all of the eligibility requirements before submitting a petition, but they should be reasonably close to completing all of the requirements before petitioning.
3. Members claiming Education credits for college education must include an official final college transcript (not a copy of the degree or diploma) with the petition unless a transcript has previously been submitted to CMAA National Headquarters.
4. The petition is reviewed at the National Headquarters to ensure eligibility requirements have been met.
5. The applicant will be notified by mail of approval or disapproval of the petition. If approved, the candidate is notified of the cost, date, time and procedure to follow for taking the examination.
How Much Does it Cost?
A non-refundable $75 administrative fee is required to file the petition. If eligible to sit for the exam, an additional $150 registration fee will be charged to cover the cost of the exam. For members who have to take the exam more than once, there will be a $95 charge for each retest. These fees are subject to change at the discretion of the CMAA Board of Directors.
Preparing for the Exam
For CCM candidates desiring an in-depth review of the nine competency areas of club management, the Certification Review Course is offered twice a year. This concentrated five-day course is given at Georgia State University in Atlanta each November and during the five days immediately before each World Conference on Club Management at the Conference site. At both locations, the CCM exam is given on the day following completion of the course.
Candidates choosing not to take the Certification Review Course may have the exam administered by a proctor at a college or university near the individual's home or club. Suggestions for making arrangements for a proctored exam are included with each candidate's response to his/her Certification Petition.
The Exam
The final requirement for certification is to pass the CCM exam. To pass the exam requires an overall score of 70 percent or higher, with a score of 50 percent or higher on each of the nine parts of the exam. The exam consists of 400 objective questions covering the following nine competency areas: Private Club Management, Food and Beverage Operations, Human and Professional Resources, Management, Marketing, Accounting and Financial Management, External and Governmental Influences, Building and Facilities Management and Golf/Sports and Recreation Management. Candidates who do not pass the exam on the first attempt are limited to two attempts in any 12-month period.
Examination Dates
Scheduled dates for the CCM examination vary from year to year. As a general rule, the exam will be given during the World Conference (at the Conference site and locally) on the first Monday in May and August and in November after completion of the last BMI III course for the year. The following exam dates have been scheduled:

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the association between over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) exposure during the early first trimester and risk for spontaneous abortion (gestation before 20 weeks of gestation) in a prospective cohort.
METHODS: Women were enrolled in the Right from the Start study (2004–2010). Exposure data regarding over-the-counter NSAID use from the last menstrual period (LMP) through the sixth week of pregnancy were obtained from intake and first-trimester interviews. Pregnancy outcomes were self-reported and verified by medical records. Gestational age was determined from the LMP. Stage of development before loss was determined from study ultrasonography. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the association between NSAID exposure and pregnancy outcome taking into account candidate confounders.
RESULTS: Among 2,780 pregnancies, 367 women (13%) experienced a spontaneous abortion. NSAID exposure was reported by 1,185 (43%) women. NSAID exposure was not associated with spontaneous abortion risk in unadjusted models (hazard ratio [HR] 1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.82–1.24) or models adjusted for maternal age (adjusted HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.81–1.23).
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that use of nonprescription over-the-counter NSAIDs in early pregnancy does not put women at increased risk of spontaneous abortion.

The Hudson County Democratic Organization held its election kickoff dinner and fund-raiser at Casino in the Park in Jersey City Tuesday evening, and officials might as well have been singing "Hakuna Matata." It's their problem-free philosophy and everything is grand.
They did manage to get out a few more of the faithful than in past events — now that the infighting is technically in détente mode. With about 60 tables, 95 percent full, and about 200 imbibers anchored at the bar, we'll say there may have been between 600 and 700 Dems present. Speaker after speaker called for everyone to get Newark Mayor Cory Booker elected in the Wednesday special election for the vacant U.S. Senate seat.
And HCDeadO Chairman and Assemblyman Vincent Prieto of Secaucus actually said they should be called the Hudson County Dynamic Organization.
Sorry, John Minella, I'm not about to call the county party the HCDynamicO. Thanks for the invite, but you weren't booked at the Armory and there's still some rumbling political thunder in the distance. Minella is executive director of the HCDeadO and I'm certain the imp behind the "dynamic" sound bite. North Bergen Mayor and state Sen. Nick Sacco also praised party unity and the HCDeadO chairman who lives in that North Bergen client state — even with the ex-chairman, Bayonne Mayor Mark Smith, sitting in the room.
Unity? Some in the crowd could not help but think about Republican Gov. Chris Christie's pals Union City Mayor and state Sen. Brian Stack and West Hudson Mayors Ray McDonough of Harrison and Joseph Smith of East Newark, who gave the big fella thumbs up. At least Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop and Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer have yet to endorse anyone in the gubernatorial race. Oh yes, can anyone remember if the state's only U.S. senator, Robert Menendez, has actually endorsed Booker?
Most of the evening, the barbs and potshots were aimed at Booker's GOP rival for the Senate, former Bogota mayor Steve Lonegan. Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise subtly summed it up by calling the GOP candidate "a Tea Party nut case." While the HCDeadO leaders threw verbal haymakers, they only offered a couple of soft jabs when it came to Christie.
No surprise that they didn't call out Christie, considering the Democratic candidate for governor, state Sen. Barbara Buono of Metuchen, was ,ever mentioned during the evening until state Sen. Sandra Cunningham urged the crowd to elect Booker on Wednesday and help Buono win next month. This is the same Cunningham who counts Christie as a family friend and invited the governor to one of her functions this past summer. Everyone else attending the Casino in the Park had their cellphone blocking any incoming calls from Buono.
Come to think of it, I don't believe Buono had a representative at the Dem event, but then again, her campaign thinkers never imagined the Hudson dinner would be scheduled on the evening she was debating Christie on TV. I'm hard pressed to remember when was the last time the county Dems failed to have the head of their ticket at the dinner. Anyone?
I'll give the Hudson Dems this:
They have never been stronger since the days that U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez and his late partner Bruce Walter ran the county starting in the late 1980s.
Sacco is growing in clout in the Legislature with Prieto as state budget chairman, Stack is definitely very close to Christie and has his ear (the two rode together in a pickup truck in Sunday's State Hispanic parade) and Fulop is ascending in New Jersey politics, where he is viewed as a future gubernatorial candidate.
Can they make a full comeback? Perhaps if they continue to shed dead wood, increase their funding, and learn to bring new smart blood up through the ranks. There are untapped votes in the Americans in this county who have been kept away from the head table. They have a way to go before the word "dynamic" can be uttered because the organization needs to rebuild its statewide reputation and its foundation still sits on unstable tectonic plates.
What could blow this all up is Fulop's "wish they would die" feelings for the Bayonne dynamic duo, Smith and Assemblyman Jason O'Donnell, and the mongoose and cobra relationship between Sacco and Stack.
The Insider's January powerlist should be interesting with new faces and a lot of movement from the previous year.
What about the county GOP? There is no change of note. And don't call me right away.
-- Sacco made reference to Fulop as someone who in the past stood outside Casino in the Park peering in through the windows at the annual dinner. This year they waved for him to come inside. As mayor of Jersey, Fulop could soon do all the waving.
-- Some sources inside the dinner say Booker people are hoping to crush Lonegan on Wednesday. The last thing they want is for the GOP candidate to make a good showing. It might encourage someone like multimillionaire and Jets owner Woody Johnson to take a shot at the U.S. Senate in 2014. It would have helped if the Booker campaign spent a little money in state urban centers, instead of telling everyone, "We got this, we got this."
-- Former Superior Court Judge Kevin Callahan was appointed at Thursday's Board of Freeholders meeting to the county community college Board of Trustees, replacing Katia Stack of Union City, who resigned. Callahan will serve until Oct. 10, 2017.
What I want to know is whether this is Fulop's payoff as part of a deal that stopped Callahan from running for mayor. Kidding, Steve. Just pushing your button – sort of.
But you have to wonder when Stack and some other officials asked that someone other than the white guy replace a Latina. It was suggested that the board could use a little Asian or Middle East blood, but DeGise stuck with the judge, who is also a Republican.
-- The New Jersey Democrats have upgraded their website to allow more interaction among the brethren.
"NJDems.org has not only received a face-lift, but it is a leaner, meaner organizing tool that effectively elevates local activists to the status of regional field directors. By launching this new website, we hope to empower New Jersey Democrats to engage in our campaign efforts, participating in a more interactive manner," said Justin Myers, executive director for the New Jersey Democratic State Committee.
But can it wheel campaign funding to any candidate?
-- West New York Mayor Dr. Felix Roque and Freeholder Jose Munoz, antagonists in the recent federal computer hacking trial, were at the dinner sitting several tables apart or just outside microphone pickup distance. All that was missing was a table in between the two with Mil Mascaras and Commissioner Count Wiley.
-- State Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver and a contingent of Bergen County Democrats showed up, but after some of the big speeches, a number of folks at the dinner just got up and left with their plates untouched. Apparently most have been on the political circuit and couldn't take anymore chicken and mashed potatoes, a staple at every campaign event in the state.
-- Tuesday, on the eve of the special Senate election, Booker will be in Jersey City at the Downtown Zeppelin Hall beer joint. Guess they're still waiting for Booker to endorse Fulop.
-- With Columbus Day providing a day off for some school children on Monday, my question is where is the Great Navigator buried?

Valiant Fields Ablaze
RATINGS: 8 MEAN: 3.36/5.0 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.22/5 SEASONAL: Spring IBU: 22 EST. CALORIES: 216 ABV: 7.2%
Saison. Common Sense series.
Our Story
The hot blazing sun beats down upon the farmers, the tillers of the earth. The struggle of the winter months has passed and the spring is bringing with it new life. But while the winter hardships are over the real work is just beginning. When the farmers could stand the sweltering heat no longer they would quench their thirst with a draught of a saison. A style made unique to each farmhouse, the saison, meaning season, was, and to some extent still is, the beer of the laborer.
Our Fields Ablaze Saison recalls this simple but hard life where a man had to carve his livelihood from the land. Let this beer be a symbol of those summer days in the bright fields; fields ablaze with light and life.
Tasting Notes
This wonderful summer ale is both easy to drink and very refreshing! While most Saisons lean to the funky side of flavor and mouthfeel, our Fields Ablaze has a lightness and a cleanliness not seen very often. There is a bouquet of light tartness with lemon and a floral yet spicy aroma. A clean malt character thrives with the addition of our own lemongrass and Seckal pear tea, stewed right here in the brewery. The flavor is simple yet elegant with light malt sweetness and a slight grainy texture. The subtle finish will keep you coming back for more as a low bitterness allows for the crisp, clean finish that will rejuvenate both body and mind.
Seasonal: March-August.

Chances are, that I will get AABB in my AS-levels (at my current rate)
So I've thought about uni's really hard for some time and I know where I want to study:
Nottingham - Politics - AAB
Warwick - Politics - AAB
Birmingham - Political Science - AAB or BBB (A2B scheme)
Loughborough - Politics - ABB
Leicester - Politics - ABB
As you can see, I'm keeping it in the midlands
BA Politics Uni Choices
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
- Thread Starter
you do seem to have some pretty solid choices there. When it comes to choosing a uni, try to keep in mind also, that you're going to be living there for 3/4 years so social life is also important
3 of those unis I applied for and I've just firmed Leeds for Politics and Parliamentary Studies. ALL of them are good unis, lboro is my insurance because its a fantastic uni in itself with a great course and good rep.
My biggest piece of advice would definitely be to visit. If you're a really social person Warwick won't necessarily be for you as much as Bham or Notts would. You can only really truly get a good idea of a uni by visiting. I was adamant to make Sheffield one of my 5 but after visiting I absolutely HATED it and had to find somewhere else quickly! So don't be absolutely set on your options before you visit
Also make EXTRA sure you check out the modules! I applied for Bham and got an offer THEN checked out the modules and found it to be very economics based, which I despised the idea of, so that was one option out the window!
Good luck

Sizes: 3-100 lbs.
Uses: Home and Training Studio
Economy Rubber Hex Dumbbell Sets - Economy Rubber Hex Dumbbells are a good fit for those looking for the cheapest rubber hex dumbbells for their home gym or training studio. Each six-sided hexagonal shaped head is completely encased in thick rubber to be impact
resistant to protect floors, surrounding equipment and the dumbbell itself with or without the use of rubber gym mats. The chrome handles of the economy rubber hex dumbbell begin as solid steel bar stock that are milled into a contoured shape making them more ergonomically friendly to the natural shape of the hand. This ergonomic shape better distributes the total weight of the dumbbell throughout the palm of the hand, especially when performing heavy pressing movements, and does a great job in eliminating hand fatigue during high rep or heavier sets. Diamond knurling adds to the secure grip of the ergonomic handle even when hands are sweaty. And each handle is plated in a mirror finish chrome for long lasting wear and aesthetics.
Economy rubber hex dumbbells are sold in pre-configured sets as shown below or can be customized to fit your fitness goal and budget. Pairs start off at just 3 lbs. each which are great for beginners or cardio training. Heavy pairs are available in 5 lb. increments all the way up to 100 lbs. The heavy rubber hex dumbbells are ideal for heavier weight training on all the upper body push and pull exercises for maximum muscle and strength gains.

The Limeys are delusional
England's latest collapse in the World Cup wasn't a shock to anyone who pays attention to football (that's soccer to Yanks and 'Nucks). That the English believe they should rule the world in a game they invented can't be surprising, just imagine how Americans might feel if the latest US Olympic basketball dream team didn't qualify for the tournement? But the Brits perception of what is wrong is, well, what is wrong. They want to blame the players, they want to blame the coach, they want to blame those who hired the coach, they want to blame the WAG's. Unfortunately for them the problem lays at home, on their doorsteps, in their gardens, and in their pitches.
The English Premier League is one of the finest in the world, starring many players featuring on a wide variety of World Cup teams, from Argentinians to South Koreans, from Americans to Ghanans, from Australians to Frenchmen (or is that just French caue using men in association with the French is just wrong? I digress) from here and there, the EPL features some of the best players in the world so that their club teams can challenge with the best in other leagues and emerge victorious, which they do rather regularly recently. Bravo. The problem though is that their homegrown talent languishes in lower leagues, not getting a chance to play and prove itself against the best. Arsenal, a top London team, famously had no English starters on a roster that set records for going undefeated. A casual glance at the rosters of many of England's top clubs reveal few English players, and the ones they have tend not to be stars. The clubs that do play primarily English players for some reason tend to be those near the bottom half of the table, or fighting to avoid relegation. (the practice of dropping the weakest teams of the league down to the next lower level and bringing up a similar number of teams from the 2nd tier to try and compete)
Football (yeah that's soccer again guys) is a massive global business engine, generating millions, with some clubs worth billions. As Donald Trump knows, it takes money to make money, and the teams at the top tend to remain there year after year, and the desire to break into the various cash cow tournements is immense. As long as England insists on remaining at the top level of club football by importing players on such a scale, they won't deliver on a national level since their players don't get exposure and seem not to go overseas themselves often to compete as the prevailing sentiment is that going overseas is a step down and a step away from the national team. Does Brazil have club team leagues? Sure, and a pretty good one, but no not one of the best. Same with Argentina. Holland and Germany are thought to have pretty good but not great teams in their leagues. Italy, though bombing this year, manage to produce both good national and strong club teams that compete for club trophies, and Spain always seems to have a strong national side (that under preforms before 2008) to go with a league on par with the English. The difference is that these countries are able to let their players go overseas to the big money leagues, play against the best talent available, come back and gel as a national squad. England has zero, zip, nada players from any other league except their own, and though they do have some top level talent, it doesn't work well together. They may play against some of the best individuals and shine, but collectively they manage to become less than the sum of their parts.
Money talks, and as long as the English are willing to spend their money on massive foreign player contracts and not internally developing their own players and bringing them up within a system, they can expect to be looking up at the United States in group tables again. And again. And again.

How to Disagree Like Civilized Gentlemen
A WINNER HAS BEEN SELECTED!! Alright, it's time for the third and final chance to win a signed copy of my book "Curse of the Masking-Tape Mummy."
Again, to enter all you have to do is leave a comment on this comic (How to Disagree Like Civilized Gentlemen). The winner will be selected at random on Thursday morning (Feb 23rd). Again, I will ask a question that you can, but are not obligated to, answer.
Today's question: How much would you pay for a digital, DRM-free version of one of my books?
Just curious.
Reader Comments (333)
I would pay up to $10 without hesitation. Any more and I'd probably stop to think about it.
Now, THIS is an original strip. I enjoyed it greatly.
Now, about the digital book... considering the paperbacks sell for about 10, I'd gladly pay 5 for a digital version (assuming it's a hi-res PDF that I can print myself).
I hope "just curious" is just an expression, and you're actually considering this.
I would probably pay about $8 for a purely digital version, and maybe $15 ($20 on impulse) for an embodied ebook. (Warning: Somewhat NSFW imagery present on other pages of site.)
oh, and colonel sanders.. awesome!
I would damage my sword-cane for a digital copy of your book!
I think you meant to say that you implied that Rick was a fool.
$9.99. $11.99 if there are good bonus features. $18.99 if both books are included.
OVER 9,000 pennies.
Rick looks like he is wearing a Colonel Sanders costume. Sanders was a southern gentleman I guess...
I think you implied that Rick is a fool, and he inferred it.
The top of your cane makes me think it might be one of those totally unfashionable ones with a platform at the bottom with four feet. Which, come to think of it, would be the best disguised sword-cane ever. No one expects an ugly medical quad-cane sword-cane!
I think $5 for the book would be a lock. You might have gotten more, but you sabotaged yourself with this strip, because you got me thinking about that Rutger Hauer movie Blind Fury. So maybe I can find it on DVD or iTunes or somewhere cheap. So I need a couple bucks for that. It's your own fault.
$NZ10. Are you wearing a bathrobe Scott? it looks a bit long for a smoking jacket...
I think I'd be willing to pay $5
As a kid I always thought sword-canes were the coolest things in the world and wanted one in the worst way. I inspected lots of canes but never found one with a sword. I'm happy to see they're still cool. And I'm really happy to see that only the cool canes have swords.
Excellent strip! The ones where Rick gets half a point in are the BEST and funniest, imho. And the medical cane v. truly awesome cane/subtle plug for masking tape mummy contest was truly awesome!
I would pay you 1,200 for a digital copy of one of your books...in yen.
I like the regular paper books.
Would your book also be gluten-free? Because I could only get it if was free of the gluten.
But seriously, some successful self-published ebook authors have said that $2 is the sweet spot for an ebook. We, you're loyal fans, would no doubt pay more. But you may want to take that $2 figure into account if you want to cast a wider net, like trying to sell it on Amazon.com.
I probably wouldn't buy a digital version at all, sorry -- I generally read ebooks on my Kindle or my phone, both of which are great for text but really bad for anything graphical.
I wouldn't if there was a printed version available. Easier to keep near the toilet.
Digital copy? I'd probably never get one in the first place unless it was free.
I'm much too old-fashioned, I prefer books of the sharp, fragile and highly flammable variant. Kicking back on the couch to read with an overheating laptop in the lap just isn't the same. :(
Truthfully, I'm a techno-luddite (despite being thirty-something and working in IT my entire career). You've heard of late adopters? I'm a +5yr adopter. I probably won't have an e-reader of any kind until they're built into Tamagotchi and come in a cereal box. Or a kind soul gets me one as a gift.
Say, have you heard of this band The Beatles? I think they show promise.
Scott, a true gentleman needs a sword-cane that isn't lame.
"How much would you pay for a digital, DRM-free version of one of my books?"
Agree with one of the above answers, $10 for an instant, impulse purchase. I'd probably go up to $20 if given a little while to think about it, and $30-$40 for a 'I have disposable cash, why not treat myself with an irrational but enjoyable purchase' the next time I feel rich.
Also I had a sword-cane (well, a cane) but it was damaged in a dispute. If only you had released this strip earlier.
I'd definitely pay $5-8 for a high-quality digital version.
I would gladly pay 10 dollars for the privilege of reading a book with such comics as this in it.
I would pay both nothing, and yet everything! Such is the mystery of the sword-cane!
All of my dollars (so, like, 15).
Awesomw work, as always, as for a digital version, maybe $7-$10
Anyone else hear this in their head with British accents?
...PAY for digital content?!
I disagree with the very notion, sir.
"I implied" or "you inferred" (although it is a bit ambiguous. You could make a case for "I inferred," but it's awkward.)
And $0. I am a cheap, cheap bastard.
Definitely $5; would do $10. For that matter - DONATE; heck it would probably cost me over $10 to get the book shipped to me (I live in Canada), so donating money here and buying an electonic copy would be WAY cheaper...
I'd pay about ten bucks to be honest.
Oh, and the Prisoner WAS Infinitely Superior to Space:1999
I would say that depends on the value of the dollar by the time I have paid off my student loans and/or gotten a real job. In current money, I might be convinced to pay some $5-10 if I were slightly incapacitated.
@Frax - I would argue that it could be the beginning of a new kind of cane-related weaponry: THE FOUR-HEADED TENNIS BALL MACE-CANE!!!
I would pay $5.
Haha crazy coincidence talking about The Prisoner, I was just reading this comic today: http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2009/11/11/how-to-get-amazing-kicks-from-something-normal-people-will-n.html
I'm a purist and buy them all on dead trees and leave them in the bathroom to corrupt houseguests. If I were going to get one online, maybe $5 tops, considering I could just come to this site and read them for free as long as I had the electronic gadget out.

Very cool, but it'll be awhile before we see it get released from the sound of it. Makes me excited for the future of gaming though!
Very nice. Good to see a game come straight out and call itself Cyberpunk. No messing around, this is what it is. I LOVE Cyberpunk and never tire of it :) I hope that it hits either consoles, or mac as I don't intend to get back into PC gaming :/
We all said the same thing about Dead Island's trailer and look where that got us. But still, yes, GREAT trailer :)
