To compile available published data on the prevalence of douching practices in adolescent girls and young women and the effects of douching on gynecologic health, including studies of gynecologic changes due to douching in adolescent girls and young women, surveys that demonstrated the prevalence of douching in the populations, and policy statements or lack thereof from professional and medical organizations with regard to the practice of douching.
Data Sources
We did Internet searches, including a MEDLINE search, a literature review, and used the telephone, mail, and e-mail to contact professional organizations.
Douching has been found to be strongly associated with increased risk for pelvic inflammatory disease, bacterial vaginosis, and ectopic pregnancy, the former of which is especially prevalent in adolescent girls and young women. Douching is practiced by 15.5% of adolescent girls and young women in the United States, with significantly higher prevalences in certain groups in the population. We have not found any official position of professional and medical organizations on the practice of douching.
Because vaginal douching has been shown to be associated with bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ectopic pregnancy, and because no benefits are conferred on those who practice it, douching should be discouraged among adolescent girls and young women. There is a great need for further studies, particularly prospective ones, to determine if there is evidence of a direct causative influence of douching on pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, and/or bacterial vaginosis, and to determine why adolescent girls and young women douche.
VAGINAL DOUCHING is an ancient and traditional practice done to cleanse the vagina.1,2 The belief that the vagina is unclean, particularly during and after menses, has been common around the world.3 In the United States, this belief was reinforced in the 1880s by public health concerns about the unsanitary nature of menstrual blood. In a guide about female hygiene published in 1902, Joseph Greer espouses that "every part of the body [should be] as clean as the face" and that menstrual blood "generates unpleasant odors, a sure sign of noxious effluvia and breeding bacteria."4 In the early 1900s, companies such as Lysol Incorporated began advertising campaigns encouraging young women to buy their commercial douche products to keep themselves clean.4 Even today, SmithKline Beecham, Phildadelphia, Pa, the manufacturer of Massengill douche products, describes douching as "a gentle shower for your vagina [that] gently cleanses to leave you feeling clean, fresh, and confident." While being "clean, fresh, and confident" may be highly desirable, douching is associated with pathogenic changes in the vaginal flora and an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and ectopic pregnancy.5- 10 Because many adolescent girls and young women douche, they increase their risk for these conditions.
In the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth, regular douching was reported by 15.5% of adolescent girls and young women aged 15 to 19 years and by 28% of those aged 20 to 24 years.11 Chacko et al10,12 conducted 2 cross-sectional studies of adolescent girls and young women attending family planning clinics in Texas and found that almost 70% of the subjects reported using vaginal douches, with about one quarter reporting douching within 48 hours of the clinic visit. Fifty-one percent douched at least once a week.10
Adolescent girls and young women who douche differ markedly from those who do not. In the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth, regular douching was reported by 37% of African American and 11% of white 15- to 19-year-old females. For those aged 20 to 24 years, 60% of African Americans, as opposed to 20% of whites, reported regular douching.11 In the study by Chacko et al,12 douching was practiced by 80% of African American teenagers, as compared with 46% of whites and 49% of Hispanics. Adolescent girls and young women who douche are less educated than those who do not. Most start douching when they are young for nonmedical reasons.1,11,13 Douching behavior is more common among the patients of sexually transmitted disease clinics than college students.14 Thus, those who douche are those who are at highest risk for sexually transmitted diseases.
The reasons why adolescent girls and young women douche are poorly understood.12,15 While most report that cleanliness is their ultimate goal,16 other sexual self-image issues and the influence of advertisements by commercial douche companies may underlie their motivation.
Studies showing adverse effects of "improper douching" were published as early as the 1940s.17,18 By the early 1990s, numerous studies had found correlations between douching and adverse gynecologic effects. Kendrick et al16 found no benefit of douching and no safe douching behavior. Joesoef et al9 concluded that douching should be avoided, particularly after menses and before sex. Published clinical studies suggest that the effect of douching is modulated by the products used for douching,9,13,16,19,20 the reason for douching,8 frequency of douching,6,8,19 timing in relation to sexual activity and menses,9,13,21 and the duration of douching practices.16
In an experimental study of 10 healthy volunteers, Onderdonk et al22 demonstrated that douching resulted in microfloral changes 10 minutes after douching. After a normal saline or acetic acid douche, the microflora returned to the predouching level within 72 hours. However, repetitive douching with a solution containing the bactericidal agent providone-iodine caused more dramatic short-term and prolonged changes in microflora, allowing an overgrowth of pathogenic organisms that have faster growth rates than Lactobacillus species, the predominant normal vaginal flora.22 More than half of the adolescent girls and young women who douche use commercial preparations,6,19,23- 25 which contain differing combinations of acidifiers, bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents, and weak surfactants.
These vaginal microfloral changes associated with douching favor the development of bacterial vaginosis (BV).22 While the exact mechanism is not yet clear, the overgrowth of pathogenic organisms in the lower genital tract may increase the risk of ascending infection. Bacterial vaginosis is a clinical syndrome resulting from the replacement of the normal H2O2-producing Lactobacillus species in the vagina with high concentrations of facultative anaerobic and aerobic bacteria.26,27 Bacterial vaginosis is the most prevalent cause of vaginal discharge or malodor26 and is the most common vaginal infection seen in women of reproductive age by primary health care personnel.28 Bacterial vaginosis is diagnosed by the use of the clinical28 or Gram stain29 criteria. However, half of the women who meet the clinical criteria for BV (pH>4.5, positive Whiff test, clue cells, thin homogeneous vaginal discharge) have no symptoms. The epidemiology of BV suggests sexual transmission, but this has never been proven, although BV is rarely found in the sexually inexperienced.30
Bacterial vaginosis is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes,31- 33 endometritis,34- 37 and complications after invasive gynecologic procedures.26 An association between BV and increased human immunodeficiency virus 1 infection in young women was found in cross-sectional studies in Ugandan and Thai women.38,39 In vitro research has suggested that BV may increase the survival of human immunodeficiency virus 1 in the genital tract.40 A study of racial variation in vaginal pH found that normal African American adolescent girls and young women, compared with their white counterparts, tended to have a higher vaginal pH, a condition associated with BV.41 In a study of 175 adolescent girls and young women aged 14 to 21 years attending a family planning clinic, 25% of those who douched and 15% of those who did not had BV.10
Pelvic inflammatory disease is the condition most strongly associated with douching. In PID, microorganisms ascend from the vagina to the endometrium, fallopian tubes, or contiguous structures.42 The incidence of PID is highest in the adolescent population and the disease is the leading cause of infertility in the United States.42 The 1995 National Survey of Family Growth reports that approximately 6.1% of females in the United States aged 15 to 24 years have impaired fecundity,11 with 2.7% aged 15 to 19 years and 6.1% aged 20 to 24 years having been treated for PID in the past.11 Another report estimates that 1 in 8 sexually active 15-year-old girls and 1 in 10 sexually active 16-year-old girls have PID.43 Only 1 in 80 women aged 24 years have PID. Of the 1 million females who are diagnosed with PID each year, 70% are younger than 25 years. Although the incidence of PID is decreasing among women in the United States, the incidence of PID is increasing in the adolescent population.42
Pelvic inflammatory disease can remain asymptomatic for many years, with adolescent girls being least likely to experience or report symptoms.42 Scholes et al8 found that young women and adolescent girls who douched because of symptoms of infection were 8 times more likely to have PID than those who douched for other reasons, and this risk was elevated 3-fold for those who douched at least once a week.
A case-control study revealed that every type of douching behavior (eg, the apparatus usually used or the reason for douching) was associated with an increased risk for ectopic pregnancy in African American adolescent girls and young women.16 Even women who douched for routine cleanliness were at an increased risk for the condition. The risk of ectopic pregnancy increased with increased frequency of douching and the number of years that an adolescent girl or young woman had douched at least once a month, although the effect was modulated by the type of apparatus used. The authors were not able to identify any particular douching behavior that seemed safe.16
The persistence of douching despite its potential adverse effects is probably due to aggressive advertising by manufacturers of douching products and to the absence of cautionary statements by authoritative medical and public health organizations.
In 1994, the last year for which sales figures were available, douching products grossed $144 million, making up the second largest sector of the feminine care market.44 In a guide published to help drugstores identify crucial items of which they should never run out, commercial douches represented 3 of the 5 feminine care products included.44 Companies advertise their douching products extensively and will probably resist attempts to curtail their sales.
None of the organizations that might be expected to urge that douching be avoided have published such statements. These include the federal Food and Drug Administration and professional societies such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Society for Adolescent Medicine, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. We investigated the stance of each organization by telephone, literature review, and the Internet but could find no statement about the practice addressed to physicians or to the general public.
The absence of such statements may be owing to the lack of definitive studies. Most clinical studies are cross-sectional and retrospective in nature, and thus are unable to determine causative relationships between douching and adverse outcomes. Some studies failed to show a conclusive correlation between PID and douching.25,45,46 Conflicting findings with regard to the incidence of lower genital tract infections and the use of a medicated douche were found in earlier studies.6,21 Limited experimental studies suggest that douching solution does not easily ascend above the cervical os, even in menstruating women. Rosenberg and Phillips21 concluded that further information is needed to determine whether douching is a causal factor or an indicator for behaviors that increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and their complications. Recent literature has not changed this situation. Nevertheless, no study has found favorable outcomes of douching.
Because vaginal douching has been shown to be associated with BV, PID, and ectopic pregnancy, and because no benefits are conferred on those who practice it, douching should be discouraged among teenagers. As addressed by Aral and Wasserheit,47 additional prospective studies should be conducted to answer some of the remaining questions about the relationship between douching and adverse outcomes, particularly in adolescent girls and young women. Studies of the reasons why adolescent girls and young women begin and continue to douche are also needed so that successful programs can be developed to reduce this practice. However, federal agencies and professional societies should not wait for the results of these studies. They should issue cautionary statements on the basis of research findings that are currently available. Because of the high rates of health problems linked to douching, it is urgent that health professionals discourage this practice, particularly among adolescent girls and young women.

Most Canadians who access health services receive safe care. However, sometimes there are adverse effects to receiving care — unintended harm associated with the delivery of care that can result in prolonged hospital stay, disability or death.
CIHI is working to help understand the issues related to patient safety and the provision of safe care, and is undertaking a large body of work in this area. We are also helping to measure improvements in the safety of care provided. Our work includes a number of initiatives, from the development and reporting of indicators across the continuum of care to other quality and patient safety analyses and initiatives.
One initiative under way now, in partnership with the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI), is a project on patient safety in Canada's acute care hospitals. The project will have 3 main outputs:
- A report on patient safety in Canada
- A measure for harm experienced by patients in acute care hospitals
- A resource library containing evidence-informed practices for reducing harmful events in hospitals

Illinois Route 105 (IL-105) is a highway in the U.S. state of Illinois. It is an east–west highway that runs from Illinois Route 48 in Decatur to Interstate 72 near Monticello. Illinois 105 is 37.58 miles (60.48 km) long.[2]
Route description[edit]
The state highway serves a corn-and-soybean-growing region in Macon County and Piatt County. Roads such as IL-105 carry corn and soybeans to the refineries of Decatur for the manufacture of commodities such as soybean oil and corn syrup.
Rural towns along Illinois Route 105 include Bement and Cerro Gordo. The highway also runs past the Bryant Cottage State Historic Site.
SBI Route 105 was what Illinois Route 104 is now from Meredosia to Quincy from 1924 thru 1937. In 1945, the number was reused on former Illinois Route 47 north of Decatur. This is the current routing for Illinois 105.[1]

MATT STAIRS IS GOING on the road.
On Saturday, the free-agent rightfielder, who played for the Phillies the past two seasons, had a street named after him in his hometown of Fredericton in the Canadian province of New Brunswick.
And not just any street.
The road that runs alongside Royal Field Park - the place Stairs first played professionally - has been renamed Matt Stairs Way.
"Royals Field . . . that's one of the most special ones I've ever been in," Stairs told the Canadian Broadcasting Centre News. "One, it's in my hometown. Two, it's where I was scouted, where I was signed. It's a home inside of a home city. And now, just to have a street named around it is a great honor."

It's been pretty interesting to watch the recruitment of 2012 Great Falls running back Ernest Talford take off in the past few months since we introduced him.
He had camped with South Carolina and the Gamecocks liked him but they were the only school showing any interest at that point. Things have changed dramatically for Talford concerning his recruitment since we introduced him back in June.
"I'm hearing from Wofford, Towson, Campbell, Army, South Carolina, and Oklahoma State have all been sending me mail about coming out and watching one of their games."
Another school who has really been showing a lot of interest in Talford is Navy.
"I plan on learning as much as I can about them like I am all of the schools I'm currently hearing from. I know they run the ball a lot so I'm definitely interested in them plus the education that they bring to the table."
Doing his homework and then some is nothing new for the Great Falls running back. He's a standout in the class room as well with a 4.077 GPA.
Talford says he's still interested in hearing from North Carolina State, Tennessee, and Penn State soon as well. We'll have more updates with Talford so stay tuned!

Hunter Feels Mayweather-Khan Can Still Happen in '14
By Chris McKenna, courtesy of The Daily Star
AMIR KHAN's trainer Virgil Hunter believes his man could still face Floyd Mayweather this year.
Mayweather, 37, announced recently that his next fight will be on September 13.
That rules Khan, 27, out of facing him as the Bolton-born Muslim's preparations would be disrupted by Ramadan in July.
But Hunter reckons the cut Mayweather suffered in his May win over Marcos Maidana could keep him out until October or November - which will open the door for Khan to land the money-spinning match-up.
The American trainer said: "I've got a gut feeling Mayweather won't fight in September because of the cut he suffered against Maidana.
"I don't think he really wants to come back that quickly as it would be really close. We will see what happens.
"He had a bad cut and a cut like that usually takes three or four months, but considering his age and how old his skin is he could very well see a doctor and the doctor would say I don't think you are ready.
"Fighting and sparring two months after a cut like that can open it back up."
However, the potential fight between the two has been made more complicated by the fact Mayweather split with Khan's promoters Golden Boy yesterday.
Golden Boy chief executive Richard Schaefer quit the company on Monday and Mayweather will no longer work alongside them in promoting his own fights.
Khan and Mayweather still share the same adviser -Al Haymon - and the British former world champion will be hoping the American businessman can strike a deal for the fight.
That was a pretty bad cut, he definitely better not get back in the ring with Maidana in September because that cut is going to open back up.Comment by Bronx2245 on 06-04-2014
If Khan is under GBP contract, then I expect Manny to seek out a fight with Khan. Say what you want, but it will be a big PPV event. I predict 1 million PPVs,and I think Khan will give Manny…Comment by Weebler I on 06-04-2014
If it wasn't for Ramadan, it would be Khan v Mayweather in September. The cut is pretty much irrelevant.Comment by dinero fan on 06-04-2014
Amir not on Floyds level.horrible mismatch.Comment by PowerFlow on 06-04-2014
[QUOTE=ThePrince;14622838]So Khan is a confirmed Golden Boy signed fighter? Also, I wish he and his team would shut the hell up about a Floyd fight already. Everyday it's a new thread with them begging for it. If Floyd doesn't want…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (15)

The advanced skills and knowledge base that optometrists need to fulfil this role are at the centre of our Optometry programme. We offer a high-quality clinical and didactic programme of education that is highly rated by students.
As an integral part of their studies, students benefit from a wide range of clinical experiences in our purpose-built on-campus Eye Clinic.
GCU has been the hub for non-medical eye-care education in Scotland since 1971 and remains the only institution in the Scotland to offer a degree programme in Optometry.
Why Choose This Programme?
Throughout the programme you will put the theory into practice by working with real patients through regular placements with hospital eye departments and the Resource Centre for the Blind. This lets you apply the knowledge and skills gained on the programme to real life situations prior to entering the workplace.
All clinical studies feature very close cooperation with academic staff, whose responsibility it is to individually check or assess the work of each student. All our students enjoy the benefit of personal tutors to whom they can come if they require help with studying or personal problems.

Professional Accreditation
Optometry graduates are required to register as student trainees with the General Optical Council to obtain a registration number. Graduates become qualified optometrists after one year's supervised clinical practice and successful completion of the Scheme for Registration run by The College of Optometrists.
Assessment Methods
Our programme assesses the clinical competence of our students in a number of innovative ways, including the use of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) which are similar to those used by our governing body, in their Scheme for Registration. Our programme aims to equip students with the necessary clinical skills. During the programme studies, students develop a portfolio of clinical competence in all areas needed to practice as an optometrist.
Clinical teaching is central to our programme. We provide our students with the means to develop the clinical skills required in clinical practice, which in turn are built from a thorough understanding of the scientific principles underlying the discipline.
We have strong links with professional bodies, including the College of Optometrists, Association of Optometrists and Optometry Scotland and with a number of industry partners including Specsavers, Optical Express, Birmingham Optical and Optos.

Battle with cancer drives Dunaway to fight back
AUTHOR'S NOTE: My first assignment as a freelance writer for The Tunica Times was to write a story about the Relay for Life that's coming up Friday, August 27. So I sent a list of thought provoking questions to Linda Dunaway, who is still in the fight of her life, and I was so taken by her own words I didn't change a thing. I hope they mean as much to you as they did to me.
When the doctor walked into the recovery room in May of 2007, I knew before he spoke that my world at that moment would never be the same.
I truly can't remember my first reaction at that moment, my focus immediately was on my husband. As I looked at Joe I could see all the fear and bad memories racing through his mind of his mother's painful battle with cancer. It was then that I knew I had to do everything I could to battle this disease.
Telling the children was the hardest part; they had the same look and the fear and shock in their faces, and this was harder for me than all of the treatments I went through. All I knew at that time was I never wanted to see that pain in their faces again.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

What are you most proud of? The welted pockets. I did a practice welt first to see how the fabric reacted & used iron interfacing to get a really nice finish
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Pants are not as difficult as everyone thinks, you just need to take the time to cut accurately & finish everything properly. If the fabric is off grain only by a bit, they won;t hang straight. It's also the stitching details that will make or break a pair of tailored pants. I had a nice pair of Country Road pants along side me to check & copy the finishes. I wish I had added belt loops as boys will be boys & wiggled them down so they slouched on the hip, instead of sitting nicely just below the waist.

GQ has anointed five handsome men as its 2013 Men of the Year - Justin Timberlake, Kendrick Lamar, Matthew McConaughey, Will Ferrell, and the late James Gandolfini. The mag's December issue will be released with five different cover images to honor each dude.
Justin, who is shaping up to be a fine actor, tells GQ he was hurt by the negativity critics unloaded on him when his movie Runner Runner flopped.
"The movie didn't do well at the box office, so I should quit? Hold on a second. If I was somebody else, you wouldn't have said that," he says. "I have the No. 1 album this week, and I shouldn't have released it? Come on, man." Yeah, come on!

Former Pennsylvania State University assistant football coach Jay Paterno, son of the late longtime head coach, said Friday afternoon he was dropping his bid for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor.
Paterno, who shook up the race on the strength of his name alone, acknowledged that a legal challenge to his nominating petitions was likely to knock him off the ballot or at least tie him up in court.
"In talking with attorneys, it has become clear that the ballot challenge could be a long process with potential decisions and appeals carrying beyond Monday's hearing," Paterno said in a statement. "With less than two months remaining before the primary, I do not want an ongoing legal back-and-forth to be a distraction in this race. The outcome of this election is too important for the future of the working families and all the people of this commonwealth."

Call for Nominations: MySQL Community Awards 2013
It is a new year and it's time again to start thinking of all the great people and companies that make the MySQL ecosystem so great. It is time to start thinking of this year's MySQL Community Awards.
Last year we had a record number of winners, eleven goblets were handed out! But behind the scenes things were even more exciting, there were several ties that forced the panel to do extra tie-breaking voting rounds. In one category we even had a 6-way tie! All of this just testifies to how much is happening in the MySQL world nowadays.

Explaining Freedom (and Leningrad Cowboys) to a 5 year old
As we were driving the 9 hour trip to visit our parents, the childrens grandparents, for New Years, my wife at some point decided we had enough of childrens songs and inserted daddy's favorite CD: the live recording of Leningrad Cowboys Total Balaika Show in Helsinki, 1993. This historical and amazingly weird outdoor concert is perhaps best explained by you simply watching a few Youtube videos from the concert, but it brought together a Finnish punk band turned Soviet Union parody and the actual, very much official Red Army choir aka Alexandrov Ensemble. Wikipedia has more details, but just to underscore the historical backdrop: in 1994 they also performed in Berlin, while the last Russian troups were leaving Eastern Germany.

MySQL learning resources
There are a few interesting learning resources recently created by activists in the MySQL community. I just wanted to link to them to spread the word. They are free and if you've been looking for a way to learn more about MySQL, you should have a look at these.
This is something I haven't really seen done before (for MySQL): a virtual self study group. It is based on the idea of everyone reading the same book, and I assume Sheeri will then facilitate some commentary on what your read. Sheeri mentioned this in a blog post earlier, but yesterday I went to check the signup page and wow - there are already 117 (or 76, depending on whether you look to the left or to the right) students registered!

Percona Live UK, Santa Clara 2013, Fosdem and other conferences
The Winter season for conferences is catching up speed.
As I write this the DOAG conference in Germany is happening. It is one of the biggest (or the biggest?) Oracle user group conferences outside of USA. Many of my European friends in the MySQL space are talking there. As you know I have been a big fan of Galera Cluster for MySQL for over a year now, but I was perhaps a bit of an early adopter. Lo-and-behold, I was surprised to see the DOAG related press-release from SkySQL puts the creators of Galera first in their headline: Codership, SkySQL und weitere Top-Experten rund um das Thema 'MySQL Datenbanken" in Nürnberg versammelt. Talk about crossing the chasm! Ralf Gebhardt, my other mentor from MySQL AB times, is speaking on MySQL HA solutions. Seppo, Erkan and Oli and people from Oracle are talking too.

Requirements for secure voting
In my previous blog posts about Solon I have mostly focused on the high-level interaction between Solon and Liquid Feedback. Now it is time to dive into the good stuff: the cryptographic e-voting algorithms that scientists have been developing since the 80's. But first, we need to understand our requirements. What does it mean to develop a secure e-voting algorithm?
Most academic articles on e-voting algorithms will begin with a recital of requirements for a secure election or secure voting. The list is quite long, so sometimes an article may omit some of these, but there is a well established consensus that what I will write about in this post is what a secure election is about. I have taken this list from a really well written overview of different e-voting algorithms: "A framework and taxonomy for comparison of electronic voting schemes" by K Sampigethaya, R Poovendran, Computers & Security, Elsevier 2006. I recommend you read it if you want a deeper understanding on this topic.

Ever since the December 10 brawl between Cincinnati and Xavier, at the end of regulation, the tolerance for any kind of flagrant foul has been near to none in college basketball.
In Texas Tech's Wednesday night loss to Kansas, 81-46, in Lubbock the first half had two flagrant fouls, a technical foul on Tech head coach Billy Gillispie and the ejection of a Tech player.
On a play away from the ball Red Raider freshman Terran Petteway got wrapped up with Conner Teahan and let his emotions get the best of him as it looked as though Petteway took a swing a Teahan.
After reviewing the play, the officials came out and ejected Petteway from the game.
On Thursday, Tech came out with the news that Petteway will not play in the Red Raiders game against Texas A&M in College Station on Saturday.
one could have a greater appreciation for playing hard more than I do," said
Texas Tech head coach Billy Gillispie in a news release. "Our success
will be determined by playing hard at the highest level. However, we do
not and will never condone an emotional outburst of the physical nature like
what happened last night. We will learn how to compete extremely hard in
a sportsmanlike manner and represent the Red Raiders in a way of class.
That being said, Terran knew he acted wrongly and was
immediately apologetic. He understands that he must suffer the
consequences for his actions. We will all use this as learning experience
and move forward in a positive way." On the season Petteway is averaging 4.6 points per
game and 2.2 rebounds per game for the Red Raiders, but will not be on the
court for Tech on Saturday.

Atelier Sideboard
Though this item is long gone, we've curated a few other products that you might also be interested in. Check them out!
Atelier Sideboard
by Ion Design
At A Glance:
"Atelier" means "workshop" in French - and this simple, industrial buffet looks like it's just emerged from a modernist workshop. With Teak slats running side-to-side rather than front-to-back, the Atelier Sideboard conveys a sense of material richness, and its iron frame exudes old-school charm.
What's To Like:
- Three drawers on top (each with a recessed handle at the bottom) provide dining room storage without displaying any unnecessary flourishes.
- Six open shelves make your tableware the real star of the show. As most good minimalist furniture does, this sideboard makes sure your life is what's most visible.
- The Atelier Sideboard is one of the sturdiest sideboards you can possibly find. Its material strength lies in both frame and wood.
- Casters at the corners allow for easy mobility (what? a mobile buffet?), and they lock when you need the thing to stay put.
- All of the wood is FSC-certified recycled Teak, which gives it two layers of sustainability. Greenies rejoice!

Firefox 3.5 implements the W3C Access Control specification. As a result, Firefox 3.5 sends specific HTTP headers for cross-site requests initiated from within
XMLHttpRequest (which in Firefox 3.5 and beyond can be used to invoke different domains) and for cross-site font downloads. It also expects to see specific HTTP headers sent back with cross-site responses. An overview of these headers, including sample JavaScript code that initiates requests and processes responses from the server, as well as a discussion of each header, can be found here (HTTP Access Control). The HTTP Access Control article should be read as a companion article to this one. This article covers processing Access Control Requests and formulating Access Control Responses in PHP. The target audience for this article are server programmers or administrators. Although the code samples shown here are in PHP, similar concepts apply for ASP.net, Perl, Python, Java, etc.; in general, these concepts can be applied to any server-side programming environment that processes HTTP requests and dynamically formulates HTTP responses.
Discussion of HTTP headers
The article covering the HTTP headers used by both clients (such as Firefox 3.5 and beyond) and servers is here, and should be considered prerequisite reading.
Working code samples
XMLHttpRequest such as Firefox 3.5 and above.
Simple cross-site requests
Simple Access Control Requests are initiated when:
- An HTTP/1.1
GETor a
POSTis used as request method. In the case of a POST, the Content-Type of the request body is one of
multipart/form-data, or
- No custom headers are sent with the HTTP Request (such as
X-Modified, etc.)
In this case, responses can be sent back based on some considerations.
- If the resource in question is meant to be widely accessed (just like any HTTP resource accessed by GET), than sending back the
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *header will be sufficient, unless the resource needs credentials such as Cookies and HTTP Authentication information.
- If the resource should be kept restricted based on requester domain, OR if the resource needs to be accessed with credentials (or sets credentials), then filtering by the request's
ORIGINheader may be necessary, or at least echoing back the requester's
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://arunranga.com). Additionally, the
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: trueheader will have to be sent. This is discussed in a subsequent section.
The section on Simple Access Control Requests shows you the header exchanges between client and server. Here is a PHP code segment that handles a Simple Request:
<?php // We'll be granting access to only the arunranga.com domain which we think is safe to access this resource as application/xml if($_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'] == "http://arunranga.com") { header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://arunranga.com'); header('Content-type: application/xml'); readfile('arunerDotNetResource.xml'); } else { header('Content-Type: text/html'); echo ""; echo ""; echo " <title>Another Resource</title>"; echo ""; echo "", "
This resource behaves two-fold:"; echo "
", "
If accessed from http://arunranga.com it returns an XML document
"; echo "
If accessed from any other origin including from simply typing in the URL into the browser's address bar,"; echo "you get this HTML document
", "
", "", ""; } ?>
The above checks to see if the
ORIGIN header sent by the browser (obtained through $_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN']) matches 'http://arunranga.com'. If yes, it returns
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://arunranga.com . This example can be seen running here if you have a browser that implements Access Control (such as Firefox 3.5).
Preflighted requests
Preflighted Access Control Requests occur when:
- A method other than
POSTis used, or if
POSTis used with a
Content-Typeother than one of
multipart/form-data, or
text/plain.For instance, if the
Content-Typeof the
POSTbody is
application/xml, a request is preflighted.
- A custom header (such as
X-PINGARUNER) is sent with the request.
The section on Preflighted Access Control Requests shows a header exchange between client and server. A server resource responding to a preflight requests needs to be able to make the following determinations:
- Filtration based on
ORIGIN, if any at all
- Response to an
OPTIONSrequest (which is the preflight request), including sending necessary values with
Access-Control-Allow-Headers(if any additional headers are needed in order for the application to work), and, if credentials are necessary for this resource,
- Response to the actual request, including handling
POSTdata, etc.
Here is an example in PHP of handling a preflighted request:
<?php if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "GET") { header('Content-Type: text/plain'); echo "This HTTP resource is designed to handle POSTed XML input from arunranga.com and not be retrieved with GET"; } elseif($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "OPTIONS") { // Tell the Client we support invocations from arunranga.com and that this preflight holds good for only 20 days if($_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'] == "http://arunranga.com") { header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://arunranga.com'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, GET, OPTIONS'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-PINGARUNER'); header('Access-Control-Max-Age: 1728000'); header("Content-Length: 0"); header("Content-Type: text/plain"); //exit(0); } else { header("HTTP/1.1 403 Access Forbidden"); header("Content-Type: text/plain"); echo "You cannot repeat this request"; } } elseif($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") { /* Handle POST by first getting the XML POST blob, and then doing something to it, and then sending results to the client */ if($_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'] == "http://arunranga.com") { $postData = file_get_contents('php://input'); $document = simplexml_load_string($postData); // do something with POST data $ping = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_PINGARUNER']; header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://arunranga.com'); header('Content-Type: text/plain'); echo // some string response after processing } else die("POSTing Only Allowed from arunranga.com"); } else die("No Other Methods Allowed"); ?>
Note the appropriate headers being sent back in response to the
OPTIONS preflight as well as to the
POST data. One resource thus handles the preflight as well as the actual request. In the response to the
OPTIONS request, the server notifies the client that the actual request can indeed be made with the
POST method, and header fields such as
X-PINGARUNER can be sent with the actual request. This example can be seen running here if you have a browser that implements Access Control (such as Firefox 3.5).
Credentialed requests
Credentialed Access Control Requests -- that is, requests that are accompanied by Cookies or HTTP Authentication information (and which expect Cookies to be sent with responses) -- can be either Simple or Preflighted, depending on the request methods used.
In a Simple Request scenario, Firefox 3.5 (and above) will send the request with Cookies (e.g. if the
withCredentials flag is set on
XMLHttpRequest). If the server responds with
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true attached to the credentialed response, then the response is accepted by the client and exposed to web content. In a Preflighted Request, the server can respond with
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true to the
OPTIONS request.
Here is some PHP that handles credentialed requests:
<?php if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "GET") { header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://arunranga.com'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true'); header('Cache-Control: no-cache'); header('Pragma: no-cache'); header('Content-Type: text/plain'); // First See if There Is a Cookie if (!isset($_COOKIE["pageAccess"])) { setcookie("pageAccess", 1, time()+2592000); echo 'I do not know you or anyone like you so I am going to mark you with a Cookie :-)'; } else { $accesses = $_COOKIE['pageAccess']; setcookie('pageAccess', ++$accesses, time()+2592000); echo 'Hello -- I know you or something a lot like you! You have been to ', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], ' at least ', $accesses-1, ' time(s) before!'; } } elseif($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "OPTIONS") { // Tell the Client this preflight holds good for only 20 days if($_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'] == "http://arunranga.com") { header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://arunranga.com'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, OPTIONS'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true'); header('Access-Control-Max-Age: 1728000'); header("Content-Length: 0"); header("Content-Type: text/plain"); } else { header("HTTP/1.1 403 Access Forbidden"); header("Content-Type: text/plain"); echo "You cannot repeat this request"; } } else die("This HTTP Resource can ONLY be accessed with GET or OPTIONS"); ?>
Note that in the case of credentialed requests, the
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: header must not have a wildcard value of "*". It must mention a valid origin domain. The example above can be seen running here if you have a browser that implements Access Control (such as Firefox 3.5).
Apache examples
Restrict access to certain URIs
One helpful trick is to use an Apache rewrite, environment variable, and headers to apply
Access-Control-Allow-* to certain URIs. This is useful, for example, to constrain cross-origin requests to
GET /api(.*).json requests without credentials:
RewriteRule ^/api(.*)\.json$ /api$1.json [CORS=True] Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" env=CORS Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET" env=CORS Header set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials "false" env=CORS

Winter roads cause crashesStaff Report | January 30,2013Sloppy roads in Rutland County contributed to a pair of crashes — one of which injured an 82-year-old man Monday , according to Vermont State Police.
The first crash occurred just before 7 a.m. on Walker Mountain Road in Clarendon where a 2008 GMC Sierra truck driven by 53-year-old Mark Chapin rolled off the road after striking a patch of black ice. Chapin, who was wearing his seat belt, was uninjured in the crash, police said.
At just after 2 p.m. in Rutland Town, a 2003 Toyota Tacoma driven by Richard Hier, 82, went off the road on Route 4 in Rutland Town and struck a tree. Police say Hier lost control of his vehicle on the snow and slush covered road.
