New Mexico ranks first in the nation for children who consume their first alcoholic drink before the age of 13, according to the New Mexico Activities Association.
The alarming statistic is prompting both local school districts to require their student athletes to take part in a program about the dangers of alcohol in relation to their athletic performance and life.

Both pens were secured by Delegate to Congress William H. Andrews and given to the society. The pen received is a steel pen.

DENVER — The strongest earthquake to strike Colorado in more than 40 years shook awake hundreds of people, toppled groceries off shelves and caused minor damage to homes in the southern part of the state and in northern New Mexico. No injuries were reported as aftershocks continued Tuesday.
An out-of-control, underage drinking party has landed a caseworker with the state Children, Youth and Families Department in hot water yet again, according court documents.
Justina Romero, 29, was arrested Saturday afternoon on a charge of child abuse, a third-degree felony, and a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a child, a fourth-degree felony. The arrest stemmed from a party at her house at 545 Hermosa Lane where minors were allegedly drinking and doing drugs.
A substantive drop in population in the ward represented by Andrew Feldman coupled with a significant increase in population in the ward represented by Diane Moore is forcing city officials to change the boundaries of both districts.
The redistricting is based on 2010 census figures and the legal requirement that each district be substantially equal in population.
Outgoing Las Vegas City Schools board member Ricky Serna is moving up his resignation date from Oct. 1 to Sept. 16.

Americans are impatient. When we see a problem, we want it fixed yesterday. That helps explain why public leaders are reluctant to tackle the gnarly problems our society faces: It is difficult to show results in time for the next election.
That's why we have such a backlog of critical infrastructure projects, why we struggle to improve police-community relations, and why we put off addressing our public pension and health care challenges. To make significant progress, all of these issues require a sustained effort over many years.
There is widespread agreement that our criminal justice system is in need of reform, if not comprehensive overhaul. But beyond easy generalizations, there are few clear ideas about what should be done.
What is clear is that the most egregious failings of the criminal justice system result from demands that it treat ills it is manifestly incapable of treating. Three of the most salient of these are substance abuse, mental illness and homelessness, but there are many others, including a universe of petty, nonviolent crimes.
In February 1945, John Gunther sat at Fiorello La Guardia's elbow for eight hours and 20 minutes and watched him work. Gunther was a famous journalist. La Guardia was New York's mayor and was even more famous -- a short, profane whirling dervish of energy and ideas.
La Guardia did not disappoint. As Gunther watched, the mayor made decisions in machine-gun fashion, riffling through letters and reports on his desk, barking at this three secretaries, interrogating subordinates. He even found time to hold a press conference while seated at his desk.
From teacher tenure and law enforcement at the local-government level to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Secret Service at the federal level, the subject of job security for public employees looms large. How should government approach this subject? Are there principles that could be derived from experience and widely applied?
We can only address the subject in terms of the purposes of government agencies. Government agencies do not exist for the purpose of providing employment, much less the purpose of providing secure employment. Government employs people to accomplish a wide range of objectives. Employment is clearly a means to an end, not an end in itself. The question insofar as employment security is concerned, then, is how it bears on the attainment of government's larger purposes.
Anyone reading this doesn't have to be told that it is a challenging time to work in government. The kinds of policy and management problems that public leaders face — from emergency management to cybersecurity to health care to improving education — require marshaling our collective intellectual resources in a search for solutions. But government practitioners frequently get little help from a large group of people who should be well positioned to come up with ideas to improve both policy and management: academics.
This is at least in part a self-inflicted wound, because the way that academic research is measured and incentivized results in squandering of intellectual resources by encouraging academics to write only for each other, use techniques that are not accessible, and publish in outlets and in forms where there is little chance of impact on the actual practice of public administration or policymaking.

Central California Coast meet @ Oceano
How about a meet for some beach driving at Oceano Dunes SVRA State Park followed by eats at Rock & Roll Diner in Oceano? Any takers with preferred dates?
Re: Central California Coast meet @ Oceano 19 August
19 August @ 10 a.m., park entrance across from Fin's, 25 West Grand Avenue Grover Beach, CA 93433, if we get at least 4 interested participants by 17 August. Looks like 2 of us at this point.
Not planning to take my wheels off the beach, but there are huge dunes for those interested in OHV activity.
What car do you have?
Re: Central California Coast meet @ Oceano
Maybe a 2015 Trailhawk in a few months. Now, I drive a Vehicross 4x4.

Glow VEX node
Simulates a hot glow effect to be used in the Fog context, and outputs color and alpha.
See also: Global Variables, Halo, Output Variables
This operator simulates a hot glow effect to be used in the Fog context, and outputs color and alpha.
Unlike Halo, which produces a generic, white-light glow, this operator is meant for glows around lights, flames, and other hot point sources.
The Core parameters control the white hotspot at the very center of the glow. For a softer, less hot glow, set the Core Brightness (corebright) value to 0.
The glow color is multiplied by the Opacity (Of) before being mixed with the Surface Color (Cf), so you do not have to take opacity into account yourself.
If the Surface Position (P), Position of Eye (Eye), Surface Color (Cf) Surface Opacity (Of), and Surface Alpha (Af) inputs are not connected, the global variables by the same names will be used instead. If you need to access the global variables directly, they are available from the Global Variables operator.
For a simple glow, connect the color output (color) and the alpha output (alpha) to the "Cf" and respectively "Af" inputs of the Output Variables operator.

OK wait times are not good BUT when Dr Audrey sees you, she's attentive and treats you like you're her only patient. My wife & I moved to Michigan and do we miss Dr Audrey! We were thinking that it would be worth the price of the flight to keep her!
the staff makes you feel unwanted and one staff has even told a blatent lie in my files. will never go back again.
I wouldn't recomend this doctor to my worst enemy. The staff is the most rude, unprofessional bunch of people I have ever met. I recently called to make an appointment only to be on hold for 30 minutes, and never answered.! After hanging up and calling back the women said we have no appointments so why don't I go to a walk in clinic. These people are the epitome of white trash. The doctor is a quack to say the least and needs to hire some real staff members. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!
I just LOVE the new office staff, especially KIM. If I ever question something kim is there with a solution. The doctor is good too, she listens and takes her time. Sometimes there is a longer wait then expected but I would wait all day to see this doctor and staff :)
Best Doctor ever. She pushes to get answers to a health situation, Dr. Lewwrenz saved my life by doing justthat. She's the greatest.
was trying to find a female doctor as i just relocated here. the staff was rude. kim hung up on me while i was trying to make an appointment. when the staff of a doctor treats prospective patients so poorly, how must the doctor treat them...trickle down effect maybe?????
Excellent doctor maybe she spends too much time with the patient which puts her behind but you are treated as a person and NOT a chart or a number!! New staff great finally know what they are doing with the billing and triage of the patient.Great improvement from old staff
LONG wait times, doctor spends less then a minute in the office with you before disappearing. No privacy in the office and poor cleanliness.

JERUSALEM, Israel - In a provocative move, Iran dispatched submarines to the Red Sea to gather intelligence information, the semi-official Iranian Fars news agency reported.
"Iranian military submarines entered the Red Sea waters with the goal of collecting information and identifying other countries' combat vessels," Fars said.
According to the report, the Iranian submarines were sailing "alongside warships of the Navy's 14th fleet."
"The fleet entered the Gulf of Aden region in May and has now entered the Red Sea in the continuation of its mission," Fars stated.
In February, following the ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the interim Egyptian government allowed two Iranian warships to traverse the Suez Canal for the first time in 30 years.
The ships made their way to Syria's Latakia port where Iranian sources said they would remain for "training exercises" about six months. They left the port within days.
In March, the Israeli navy intercepted the Victoria, a cargo ship sailing under a Liberian flag, carrying a huge cache of Iranian-made weapons. The crew said they were not aware of the cargo.

Review article: pruritus in cholestatic and other liver diseases.
Aliment Pharmacol Ther
, 17
pp. 857-870.
Pruritus is often the most troublesome symptom in patients with chronic liver disease, particularly when cholestasis is a prominent feature. The exact pathogenesis is unknown, but empirical treatment, such as cholestyramine, based on a liver-based origin of pruritus, has been used for many years. Recently, evidence for a central mechanism for pruritus has been obtained and opioid antagonists have been tried clinically with some benefit, but their use is not widespread. In addition, the pruritus associated with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy can now be alleviated in many cases by ursodeoxycholic acid. As it also improves foetal outcome, this should become first-line therapy. We review the pathogenesis and therapy of pruritus, highlighting practical aspects to help with patients with seemingly intractable pruritus.

DSM Pharmaceutical Products has just opened its new cGMP facility for biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing in Brisbane, Australia. Built in partnership with Biopharmaceuticals Australia and with cooperation from the government of Queensland and the Commonwealth of Australia, the new facility offers cGMP mammalian cell culture contract manufacturing services ranging from process development to commercial manufacturing. The Brisbane facility reportedly has an output capability of 500 kg and has expansion space available for further capacity utilization.
"With its flexible design and use of single-use technology, the facility represents the model for the future of biomanufacturing," Lukas Utiger, president and CEO of DSM Pharmaceutical Products, said in a statement. "It represents an important milestone in the development of Australia-based mammalian cell-based manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals, and extends DSM's contribution to the global biotechnology market."
DSM already has contracts for the Brisbane site with DecImmune Therapeutics of Cambridge, MA; Recepta Biopharma in São Paulo, Brazil; and Paranta Biosciences of Melbourne, Australia. Today, they're adding a new one with Opthea of Melbourne, Australia, a subsidiary of Circadian Technologies that is developing biologic inhibitors of VEGF-C driven angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and vascular leakage for the treatment of ophthalmic diseases.
The contract covers process development and cGMP manufacture by DSM for Opthea's lead molecule OPT-302 (previously known as VGX-300) initially for the treatment of "wet" (neovascular) age-related macular degeneration. OPT-302 is a soluble form of human VEGFR-3 that can block the activity of both VEGF-C and VEGF-D, which promote blood and lymphatic vessel formation and are involved in the progression of eye diseases.

Recommendations for LGBT-friendly custom clothiers in S. Ontario/GTA?
I'm getting married in the fall, and I'm also a queer, nonbinary person (assigned female at birth). I'm planning on wearing a suit, and I'd really like to have one custom made. I'd also like to avoid any gender-policing BS from potential tailors, so I'm looking for suggestions. If anyone knows of any shops in Southern Ontario (Greater Toronto Area would be ideal) that are known to be LGBT friendly, I would greatly appreciate being pointed in their direction!
Urgent suit + tailoring in Berkeley or SF (on the cheap)?
Asking for a friend: Vacationing in Berkeley and will fly straight from here to a job interview in another city. I don't have a suit with me, interview is a surprise (yay). Need to procure a freshly tailored new (man's) suit between right now and Friday afternoon. Also, budget is a thing. I know it can't be good, cheap and quick, so I'll sacrifice good. Where do I go? (Must be BART/AC Transit accessible.)
Looking for a good men's suit / tie / shirt combo for a summer wedding
I will be attending a wedding as a guest next weekend. My options for a suit are: dark grey, light grey, and a lighter navy. I'm interested in buying a new shirt and tie combo for the occasion, but I'm looking for some options. I'd like something that's bright and fun, but doesn't clash (which I often have a hard time discerning). [more inside]
Made to measure men's suit - what do recommend?
Hi, I'm interested in getting a made-to-measure suit. However, I'm a little leery of paying hundreds of dollars for something I haven't seen yet from a company from whom I've never purchased a suit. Can you recommend any of the online providers of made-to-measure suits? Do you have any advice on what I should be considering when I shop for such a suit?

Fuzzy pants be gone!
I have a pair of Calvin Klein suit pants that have a patch that's gone fuzzy on one hip/outer thigh. I think the velcro closure on my bag rubbed against it during a commute. It's not pilled, like a sweater, but fuzzy. Looking around, I have seen recommendations for how to deal with sweater pilling but not fuzzy pants. Are sweater de-pillers OK for this problem? Lint brush and sticky tape did nothing. Pants are a poly blend. Thanks in advance for any tips!
Tips for commuting on foot in a snowy city with a suit?
I'm moving from a city with basically no annual snowfall to one which which averages 70+ inches per yer. My commute will be 15 minutes, walking. My attire at work on most days will be a men's business suit. I won't have my own office. Any tips from similarly situated individuals on how this can be done most easily and comfortably?
Help me find a cute, affordable bikini somewhere other than Walmart!
I found a bikini I really like here. The problem is it is a Walmart exclusive brand and for various reasons I really don't like shopping at Walmart. Help! [more inside]
I am a suit buying snowflake - ethical quandry edition
I want to buy a nice suit. My top priorities are ethical labor and reasonable price (and yeah, I'd like it to look good). Moderate complications: I'm a masculine woman who wants a "man's suit". Additionally, I'm looking for another suit for my tween daughter, but cut in a "mannish femme" style (think Annie Hall). [more inside]
Nice men's suits for guys with bubble butts
I'm looking for nicer ($350-800) men's suits for guys with bubble (larger, round) butts. Currently we have them extensively tailored but are there any nicer suit brands that are cut to favor this kind of body size? We've tried bespoke with very poor results, looking for off-the-rack. [more inside]
Business casual for an interview
I have an interview for a legal counsel position at a Silicon Valley tech company on Wednesday, and I've been advised by the recruiter that the dress code is "business casual, sport coat appropriate." This seems fairly specific, but dress codes are often a foreign language to me. Can you explain what I should wear - and ideally, do so as if you're explaining to an alien with no knowledge of men's fashion? (I exaggerate, but only a little.) Like, it's crossed my mind that I can simply wear a suit without a tie, but maybe that's horribly wrong? Thanks.
Can you recommend a sewing pattern similar to this vintage one?
I absolutely love everything about this suit pattern. Could you help me find a modern day equivalent? [more inside]
Suit: very good, NYC, semi-clueful me, a month to do it in?
I need help buying a suit for an interview for a massive job upgrade. For once, I'm willing and able to spend serious (semi-serious?) money. Advice on where to go/which expensive features to splurge for? (Anon so my current employer doesn't stumble on this...) Special shopping advantage: New York. Special disadvantage: I only have a month. Entrez snowflake: [more inside]
1st time buying a bathing suit in 20+ years. Assistance needed!

My chest is a tank! Tanks need suit jackets too!
FashionPhillyFilter: I have had a borderline-apocalyptic time trying to find a suit/sports jacket that fits in Philadelphia. I am a tall-but-not-notably so (6'0") dude who is built like a [big football guy term here], but with a smaller waist & bottom half to mis-match my enormous breastplate/shoulders. (My friend says "you are an inverse triangle"). Attendants at the stores I have gone to have been completely flummoxed by my proportions, which end up with either the jacket not fitting over my chest or there being a puffy cloud of fabric on the bottom. It's at the point where I'm getting recommendations for $1895 (low estimate I was given???)+ tailor-made jackets as the only solution for my build, which I am trying to avoid based on my budget (doctoral student on stipend). Surely there are... some stores that have tailorable off-the-rack things that might fit? Any suggestions as to stores that have fashionable, comfortable clothing for larger-built gentleman, especially in distance of Philadelphia? [more inside]

Office wear for uber hot climate
I'm transferring from Scotland to Dubai for three months - probably June, July, August. As far as I can see, its going to be crazy hot (40C + ?) in the desert for these months - I've spent a couple of days in Dubai before but not in the height of summer - I'll be doing an office job and expect to be spending my time going from air conditioned apartment to air conditioned office but I'm keen to hear any practical tips in terms of office wear (I'm a suit-wearing bloke) and any other pointers for going to the Gulf (or anywhere similarly hot) and being productive in an office job in an uber-hot climate. Thanks!
Please help me get dressed for my interview!
I am going in for an interview at the place I am currently temping. What should I wear? [more inside]
What not to wear to the interview
I'm a lady. I have a job interview coming up for which I was advised to wear a suit. I can't find my real suit, (may have donated it) but I doubt if it fit me anymore anyway. What I do have is a black sheath dress, a nice navy blue blazer, a nice grey blazer, a nice grey pencil skirt that is a slight mismatch with the grey blazer, and a pair of pants that's also a slight mismatch with the grey blazer, and a selection of those nice decorative shells that women wear under suits. I think I have black pumps somewhere, and I also have some nice looking oxford heels. Can I make something work with what I have or should I go try to find a suit? In addition, opaque or sheer tights? This is for a non-management web design job for which I thought suits were passe.
Where in Baltimore to purchase a suit?
I'm getting married at the beginning of May, and would like to purchase a nice suit for the day. But I want a particular look, and something that is going to last me for years that I can wear regularly, not just for one day. [more inside]
"You can leave the suit at home."
I have a round two interview today for a business analyst position in the interactive division of a large international company. I've never been for an interview that included "It's OK to dress down" instructions, and don't want to come off as either stuffy or too laid back. I'm thinking about a v-neck sweater over a dress shirt, with no tie. Would I be wiser wearing a jacket instead? With a tie?
What's Destroying My Pants?
I keep having the same wear and tear on my suit pants (and to a lesser extent, jeans and khakis) and I want to know what is causing it and how to make it stop. In almost every pair the crotch begins to go quickly, tearing apart, piling, fraying, and being worn straight through with little holes. it's like I'm doing splits or high kicks all day. These occur across types of pants, tailored and not, stuff I swear frequently and stuff I hardly ever wear. As far as I know I'm buying the right size and try to wear them at my natural waist, just below the belly button and frequently with belts. I'm a guy with a bit of a gut and I don't go for marathon runs in my suit pants. For outfits I wear a lot I rotate the pants but within a year they're ruined and torn up. Is it the material? Am I sitting wrong? Hanging them wrong? Is there something I should be looking or/asking the tailor about? [more inside]

snowflake skirt needed
I would like to find a seamstress or tailor to make a custom pencil skirt for me that I can wear to work (so, stuffy business fabric). My attempts to google a solution have not been successful. I either find places that want to charge me $300 or more (nope!), places that do alterations (I need it made from scratch), or places that make custom clothing for men but not women, or brides but not non-brides. I am located in lower Manhattan but have a subway card and am willing to use it. Can anyone suggest where I can go to have a nice suit-like pencil skirt created for me?
Men's trousers: flat front, high waist. Help?
I wear a suit or dress trousers most days to the office, and am looking to replace some of my wardrobe. I've gone to a few mens' clothing stores, but have struck out looking for high-waisted, fitted but not tight, flat front men's trousers. (Details/snowflake/etc inside) [more inside]
Where to get a suit for an athletic build in boston?
My boyfriend is attempting to leave the ivory tower and get a job as a scientist in industry in the Boston metro area. He has been applying for jobs and is starting to get some phone interviews, so we are trying to get him some acceptable clothes for an eventual in-person interview. His current wardrobe consists of thrift store t-shirts and REI space-fabric pants. I have no experience with men's fancy clothes. The problem is that he has an extremely athletic build. [more inside]

Short, dressed man.
I am getting married and need one of two things: a nice suit store in NYC that caters, specifically, to small dudes (I am 5'6" and ~130 lbs and Uniqlo quality won't cut it this time) or one of those made-to-measure places that will measure you and get you a suit made abroad. I need it by mid-October at the latest. Personal experience (good and bad) would be great. [more inside]
Where can I find the plastic bag shown in this video?
This video shows how to pack a suit wrinkle-free using a large ziploc bag. Where can I find a bag the perfect size to do this? I know there are other packing methods, but I'm just interested in finding a bag that works with this method.
Need to buy a blazer or suit in NYC
I left my standard blue blazer on another continent and will be speaking in front of a group of 400 people tomorrow in Manhattan. I'll be there by 1pm and don't know where to get something that fits. I'm thinking of a) finding something else a bit more stylish, b) would buy a suit if necessary but doubt it could be ready in time, but I'm open to that if there is a great recommendation.
Ironing out a suit issue
Just bought a nice suit, but when I brought it home my wife pointed out the lapels were slightly asymmetrical -- one is a bit narrower than the other. The lapels have a gentle roll to them, they aren't sharply creased. So: is it easy/adviseable to coax one of the lapels into laying differently with an iron or other method? If so, how (suit made of Italian wool)? Or best to simply return it?
Plus-size ladies, where do you go to actually try on nice pants/suits?
I'm looking for suggestions for actual brick-and-mortar stores where I could try on a wide variety of size 16-18 suit separates or dressy-to-formal tops/pants combinations. [more inside]
Where can I read up on suits for heavy men?
I'm in China and I can get any suit custom made. That's great because I'm tall and heavy. That's also daunting because I have to show up with pictures of what I want. I find it tough to find good links to websites with tips for people like me. What modern suit would look good on me?
Seeking a certain royal blue suit and Google is failing me.
For reasons mostly ridiculous, I am seeking a royal blue suit. Not just any royal blue suit, as I can find several of the zoot suit or boxy variety. What I'm wanting is a royal blue suit, either of the four-button ilk or the slim one-button type. In other words, this one pictured here. [more inside]
Men's suits: timeless, classic, what styles are good?
I don't know a thing about menswear except that men sometimes wear it. My husband's one suit is finally done for, and he needs a new one by the end of the week. [He doesn't know much, either.] He wears a suit primarily for weddings and funerals, maybe once or twice a year. What style of suit will last him for years without becoming out-of-date? [more inside]
Putting together my interview outfit
I think I have all the pieces for my interview outfit. Can you help me put them together appropriately? [more inside]
Attaching a safety clasp lapel pin?
I have this safety clasp lapel pin that I want to attach to my lapel. However it looks like on my suit the buttonhole is just stitching instead of a real hole. The actual pin part slides through easily enough (and I don't have problems with normal butterfly clasps), but how to I get the closing part through without destroying the buttonhole?
Bespoke tailor in Toronto?
The other questions deal more with alterations. I would like to get a woman's suit made. I am hard-to-fit and my go-to place (Eddie Bauer) has changed their designs so they don't work for me. (The new pants are curvy -- and I am not. And the jacket is longer -- and I am, well, shorter.) [more inside]
Shirt garters for skirt suits?
I'd like to keep my button-down shirts tucked in to my suits better, but I mostly wear skirt suits. Traditional shirt garters clip onto your socks, so those won't do. Any ideas? [more inside]

To the Editor.—
The peculiar susceptibility of nonblack carriers of the sickle cell trait to splenic infarction or sequestration on ascent to moderately high altitudes seems to be real, although ascertainment bias cannot totally be excluded. Why should this be so? The recent report by Lane and Githens1 might provide a clue. The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of their patients—94.5 femtoliters (fL)— seems to be considerably higher than the MCV of black patients with sickle trait having hemoglobin S concentrations of about 40%. For example, in 90 black men with hemoglobin S levels between 35% and 40%, the MCV was 83.2 fL, and in 116 black men with hemoglobin S levels greater than 40%, the MCV was 86.9 fL (A. Kennedy, MD, D. A. Walsh, PhD, R. Nicholson, MS, et al, unpublished data, 1985). α-Thalassemia is the major modulator of hemoglobin S levels and MCV in blacks with sickle

Stats & Info insights into this morning's top sports stories
Freese1. FREESE PICKS UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF: The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Miami Marlins 4-1 in the first regular-season game at Marlins Park. FROM ELIAS: David Freese had three hits with two RBI. The only other reigning World Series MVP to have at least three hits and two RBI in his team's season opener was Pete Rose, who had three hits and two RBI for the Reds in their 1976 opener.
2. LeBRON ON FIRE: In a potential NBA Finals preview, the Miami Heat defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, 98-93. LeBron James scored 34 points. NEXT LEVEL: James accounted for 59.2 percent of the Heat's points (58 of 98), his highest percentage in any game this season.
3. DYNAMIC DUO: The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, 113-108. Andrew Bynum scored a game-high 36 points, and Kobe Bryant added 31. FROM ELIAS: Since 1990, the only other pair of Lakers teammates to each score 30 or more points and make at least 65 percent of their shots in one game was Bryant (35 points, 11-16) and Shaquille O'Neal (31 points, 15-23) against Golden State on Feb. 18, 2004.
4. SPURS SPREAD THE WEALTH: FROM ELIAS: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Boston Celtics despite no San Antonio player scoring 15 points. (Danny Green led the team with 14 points.) It was the fifth win in the Spurs' NBA history in which they didn't have a player score 15 points, and their first since March 27, 2004 against Phoenix.
5. MASTERS TEES OFF: The Masters Tournament begins on Thursday, and since the Augusta National Golf Club added length in 2006, the Elias Sports Bureau says that no champion has finished the first round outside of the top seven on the leaderboard.

The practice of endotracheal anesthetization not infrequently imposes two problems: easy insertion of the tube, for which exact control of the distal end of the tube is needed and is rarely provided, and the leaking inflatable cuff. In an attempt to solve both problems, I offer two devices, the threaded endotracheal tube and the double-cuff endotracheal tube.
Threaded Endotracheal Tube
With the use of a simple paper-punch, a small hole is made near the end of the tracheal tube, and a strong thread is passed through the hole. The anesthesiologist then holds the tube in the usual manner and manipulates the thread with two fingers. In this way, the sharp upward curve at the end of the tube and the precise control of the tube, both so necessary to tracheal intubation, are obtained. Care must be taken that the thread does not injure tissues anterior to it. The thread can

It will only happen once, and it will be on the region's wildest metal festival.

Daniel Lanois
For his fourth solo effort, Daniel Lanois abandons songs about Québecois tobacco farmers and dealings with devils and returns to his first love: evocative, atmospheric instrumentals. A self-described "Canadian kid included in Eno's Great Ambient Music Chapter," he recalls his roots, which, of course, include producing U2 and Peter Gabriel and made him a multizillionaire. Atop a bedrock formed by bassist Daryl Johnson and drummer Brian Blade, Lanois roams wild with his pedal steel guitar -- the same secret weapon he used to such mesmerizing effect on his soundtrack to the film Sling Blade and on Brian Eno's spare-faring Apollo album. Reminiscent of long, languid road trips and postcards from lonely pitstops in the desert, Belladonna's serpentine songs are too jazzy, too instrumentally busy and sophisticated to be labeled truly ambient. Melodic passages suggest narratives, not just moods, and Lanois' patented production work -- which coats each note in layers of sweet, shimmering reverb -- lends simple little dreamscapes like "Oaxaca" and "The Deadly Nightshade" a graceful complexity. As his pedal steel twangs and twists, the sunset throws pink-orange arrows through a handblown tequila bottle. And then the winds pick up during the closing "Todos Santos," a darkened meditation on the menace of the coming night, perhaps a reminder that just beneath the desert's barren beauty, there's a scorpion or two.

Getting into Gear for 2014: An Early Look at Branding and Marketing of New Health Insurance Marketplaces
Based on a review of publicly available materials as of September 2013, this brief provides an examination of the Marketplace branding strategies, websites, and marketing materials, providing insight into how consumers will be introduced to the Marketplaces and some of the key messages and approaches the Marketplaces will utilize to encourage individuals to enroll. As of September 2013, states and the federal government are on the eve of their October 1st launch of open enrollment for the new Health Insurance Marketplaces, where consumers will be able to shop for and purchase private coverage and potentially receive subsidies to lower the cost of that coverage. Achieving adequate enrollment through these Marketplaces will be important for fulfilling the Affordable Care Act's (ACA's) goal of reducing the nation's uninsured rate. Moreover, sufficient enrollment, particularly among younger and healthy individuals, will be important for ensuring the financial sustainability of the Marketplaces over time. Recognizing the importance of enrollment, the federal government and the 17 states operating State-based Marketplaces have invested resources and conducted extensive consumer research to inform the branding and marketing campaigns for their Marketplaces.Issue Brief Read More

Forecasting Exchange-Rates via Local Approximation Methods and Neural Networks
There has been an increased number of papers in the literature in recent years, applying several methods and techniques for exchange - rate prediction. This paper focuses on the Greek drachma using daily observations of the drachma rates against four major currencies, namely the U.S. Dollar (USD), the Deutsche Mark (DM), the French Franc (FF) and the British Pound (GBP) for a period of 11 years, aiming at forecasting their short-term course by applying local approximation methods based on both chaotic analysis and neural networks.

Foley's Priest Misidentified
The Sarasota Herald-Tribune is reporting on its website that the photograph (at right) that it circulated of Father Anthony Mercieca -- the accused molester of disgraced Congressman Mark Foley nearly 40 years ago -- is actually an innocent librarian at the Gozo Cathedral Public Library. The mistake was uncovered by the Associated Press.
Because Mercieca was featured on the library's website, the newspaper assumed a photograph appearing near his name was, in fact, Mercieca. Bad move. I found the web page from which they obtained the picture. Here's the paragraph of text next to the now-infamous photo, which was published on websites -- including countless newspapers' nationwide -- yesterday:
"The main benefactors of the library is Father Anthony Mercieca of Florida USA. For 23 years he sent many thousands of books on all subjects under the sun. A fair estimate would be that Fr Tony has donated about 75% of all the 120,000 books that the library presently possesses. During these 27 years the main librarian working full time in the library was Mr Anton Farrugia assisted by a staff of ten helpers."
Guess what? The photo was of Farrugia, who has got to be one very unhappy man about right now. Just another reminder of how treacherous this trade called journalism can be. Here's the Herald-Tribune's mea culpa on its website:
Herald-Tribune corrects photo with Foley story The Herald-Tribune published the wrong photo with its story Thursday identifying the priest who may have sexually abused former Rep. Mark Foley.
The photo was not of Anthony Mercieca, the Malta priest who Foley's lawyer says abused Foley.
The Herald-Tribune took the photo from a section about Mercieca on the Gozo Cathedral Public Library web site. The Associated Press in Malta reports the man in the photo was a librarian.
