The study of experimental conditions of low blood-pressure has been limited for the most part to conditions of shock due to traumatism, thermic influences, or exposure, and aside from pharmacological investigations of the mode of action of certain substances such as arsenic, but few attempts to study, experimentally, low blood-pressure due to toxic agents have been made. The study of the latter should, therefore, be of interest not only to the internist, in that it may offer an explanation of conditions of collapse or shock occurring in medical as controlled with surgical practice, but also of general importance, in that it supplements the experimental work of Crile1 and others on surgical shock. Such a study was suggested by the observation of Biedl and Kraus,2 which we3 have confirmed, that anaphylactic shock in the dog is characterized by a low blood-pressure resembling in many ways that of

Resnik delivers shattering portrait of Judy Garland in Rep's 'Rainbow'
In "I Could Go On Singing," which would be her last film, Judy Garland plays Jenny Bowman, a dead ringer for Judy Garland: a gifted but troubled singer who both resents and craves her time in the limelight.
"I don't want to be rolled out like a pastry so that everybody can get a nice big bite of me," Jenny insists at one point. »Read Full Article

I have a Satellite U300 That took a fall and I cannot get it to boot up. How can I get past the Boot Manager Missing msg and press "Cntrl' Alt Delete to restart " Msg and get it to read the recovery disk or is there something else I must do to fix this problem. Thanks for your help. This is on Windows Vista.
It's hard to tell, but the first thing I would do is test the hard drive to make sure it didn't sustain any physical damage during the fall, especially if the laptop was on when it fell.
To check the ram you need to download the Memtest CD Iso, create the CD using the Burn From Image option, then boot to it and allow it to run through a minimum of 3 complete passes. If it shows ANY errors whatsoever then you have defective ram.
To test the hard drive determine what brand of hard drive you have. You can check the Bios/Setup to find out or run SIW or Belarc Advisor. Go to that manufacturer's support site and download their Self Booting Diagnostic CD ISO image, create the CD using the Burn From Image option (see http://iso.snoekonline.com/iso.htm for more information on doing this), then boot to it and run the most exhaustive tests available. If you have a Toshiba drive you will need to use the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test as Toshiba doesn't supply their own.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
Thank you I will give this a try. Your assistance is very helpful and greatly appreciated.

In Brief: Candidate drops from 3rd District congressional race
Democrat Ryan drops from House race
Democrat Matt Ryan has dropped out of the race for Congress in the 3rd District, which includes the city of Erie and western Erie County.
Ryan, 31, cited a substantial increase in military service obligations. Ryan, of Cranberry Township in Butler County, is a captain in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard.
"Just as our elected officials have a duty to place the needs of their constituents above themselves, as a company commander I have a duty to put the needs of my soldiers above myself," Ryan said.
Dan LaVallee, 26, of Cranberry Township, is now the only Democrat in the race for his party's nomination.
Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, 65, of Butler, is seeking a third, two-year term.
Record low set on last day of month
The temperature in Erie dipped to a record-setting minus 7 Friday morning.
The reading came at 5:51 a.m., breaking the previous record low for Feb. 28 of minus 1, set in 1884 and matched in 1994, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland.
Police: Patron smacks robber with pool cue
One of two masked men who robbed an Erie tavern at gunpoint Thursday night might be nursing head injuries.
Police said a customer at the Knotty Pine Tavern, 1126 Buffalo Road, hit one of the robbers with a pool cue as he fled.
The gunmen entered the tavern at 10:50 p.m., fired two shots and stole about $400, police said.
No one else was hurt.
Police describe the robbers as black males, about 6 feet tall and slim.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 870-1120.
Man robbed while walking along street
A man walking on Erie's lower east side early Friday was robbed by three men who pulled up beside him in a car, got out and demanded cash, police said.
The victim, 37, handed over his wallet and was not hurt in the incident near East Sixth and Perry streets, police said.
The robbers are described as two black males and a Hispanic male, each between 30 and 39, police said. Their vehicle was described as a blue-green Nissan.
Government meetings in county next week

Sterling Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain
Wine Details
Winemaker's Notes
(From 1995 Vintage) Inky ruby purple. Classic black cherry and chocolate notes mix with anise and roasted coffee bean aromas in the nose. A dense, chalky, chewy, young hillside Cabernet with fruit, power, and elegance. This wine will age well, and yet drinks well at this point, too.
Expert Reviews
Wine BuyerThe Sterling Vintner's Collection Cabernet Sauvignon expresses the intense character of Monterey fruit in a full and balanced wine. Distinctive aromas of ripe blackberry, pepper, toast and hints of smoked meats are followed by subtle notes of light chocolate mint and vanilla. The palate offers concentrated black fruits, toffee and dark chocolate powder.
Wine & SpiritsJuicy berry flavors run smoothly through this wine, which is all about luscious quality. It's good juice, clean, soft and plump, easy to drink on its own or with anything meaty.

As rock 'n' roll survival stories go, the Pixies are particularly cheering. Beloved by a hardy cult and ignored by the mainstream during their 1986 to 1993 heyday, the noisy foursome from Boston laid down the floor plan for alterna-rock that Nirvana and other bands would sell to the masses like processed cheese. Even Kurt Cobain admitted that with ``Smells Like Teen Spirit," ``I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies."
So by the time the inevitable reunion rolled around in 2004, the pump had been well and truly primed. To the band's shock, the shows sold out instantly, and audiences were reverent, loud, and surprisingly young -- kids who heard Pixie dust in the DNA of everything they listened to.
It's the rare happy rock 'n' roll ending, but ``loudQUIETloud: A Film About the Pixies" does next to nothing with it. Directed by Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin, the 85-minute documentary takes a torpid , fly-on-the-wall approach , providing little context, few insights, and not enough music.
For instance: The Pixies' break-up back in 1993 arose from long-simmering tensions between songwriter/lead singer Black Francis (a.k.a. Frank Black) and bassist Kim Deal, but the subject is barely broached by the film, and when it is, guitarist Joey Santiago -- filling the George Harrison peacemaker slot -- simply says, ``You put four people in a room for five years, there's going to be tension."
Similarly, Kim Deal's experience with her twin , Kelley , in the post-Pixies band The Breeders left a scarred trail of drug abuse and powerful recordings, but even though Kelley comes along on the tour to keep her sister flying straight, the filmmakers seem too awe struck to press the matter.
There's irony in the fact that these former firebrands are now (mostly) sober family folk, with cute kids they talk to from the road via iCamera. It's certainly a jolt to see the Buddha-sized Black recite daily affirmations before going to bed -- this after unleashing his psychic demons on stage in venerable numbers like ``Gouge Away" and ``Where Is My Mind."
Other ironies seem to pass by unnoticed. The directors talk to a sweet, geeky teenage girl who idolizes the group (we later see her playing with her own garage band) and is thrilled to meet them after a show . That she's separated from the Pixies by a locked chain-link fence (before they climb into their waiting limo) says all sorts of accidentally profound things about alt-rock then and now.
``loudQUIETloud" -- a good description of the band's sound, incidentally -- is too much the fan document to spoil the fun with larger surmises. Even a fan, however, might prefer the excellent, recently released concert DVD ``Pixies: Live at the Paradise in Boston" to this tepid behind-the-scenes experience.

Top-seeded Isner reaches Atlanta Open final
ATLANTA -- Top-seeded defending champion John Isner advanced to the Atlanta Open final for the fourth time in the tournament's five-year history, beating practice partner Jack Sock 7-5, 6-4 Saturday.
Germany's Ben Becker faced Israel's Dudi Sela later in the second semifinal.
Isner, ranked No. 12 in the world, improved to 15-3 in the event.
Sock is ranked 72nd, but will become the second-highest-ranked American when the new rankings come out Monday -- moving ahead of Sam Querrey (61) and Steve Johnson (64). Querrey won a first-round match over Johnson in Atlanta before falling in the second round.
Isner won just two points on Sock's first five service games before digging in against his Tampa, Fla., training partner as Sock served at 5-6 to try to force a tiebreaker.
In a game that went on for about 14 minutes and reached deuce nine times, Isner won 13 points and took the set when Sock sent a backhand wide. That was Sock's third backhand of the set, and all three resulted in unforced errors.
With a service game ranked No. 1 on the ATP Tour (93 percent winning rate), Isner landed a fairly modest 53 percent of his first serves. When they were in, he won 32 of 34 points (94 percent).
Serving at 4-5 in the second set, Sock -- who three weeks ago teamed with Canadian Vasek Pospisil to win the doubles title at Wimbledon -- double faulted twice.
When Sock sent a forehand into the net, Isner moved through to the final.

Mark Naison: While Occupy Wall Street and its spinoffs around the nation have certainly not developed "leaders" who articulate its goals to the media or negotiate with public officials, it has already registered a formidable list of accomplishments for a movement this young.
Occupiers Occupied: Hijacking the First Amendment
Robert Reich: If Occupiers are expelled from specific geographic locations the Occupier movement can shift to broad-based organizing around the simple idea at the core of the movement: It's time to occupy our democracy.
Occupy Wall Street Shut Down
Sharon Kyle: In a surprise sweep in New York City, while many of the Occupiers were asleep, the New York City Police Department entered the Occupy Wall Street encampment at Zuccotti Park and cleared it out.
Occupy Movement at the Crossroads
Randy Shaw: Successful movements must be flexible enough to change tactics in the face of roadblocks, and activists' camping in public spaces is not strategically necessary for the Occupy movement's success.
Los Angeles Occupy Encampment Still Stands
Sharon Kyle: Occupy encampments across the country have had bad encounters with police. Many Occupy encampments are being cleared out. But so far, Occupy LA stands – for now.
Occupy LA: Writing on the Wall
Stephen Box: Occupy LA is slowly discovering that City Hall's welcome mat has disappeared, that the Mayor's gift of ponchos during the first rainstorm was more of a bon voyage gift than a welcome.
Maybe They Should Occupy LA's Neighborhood Councils
Stephen Box: Occupy LA has faced one of the most potent of enemies, an ambivalent audience, one that is most likely to respond with a tired dismissal based on aesthetics or a weary look of disbelief as issues such as unemployment, foreclosures, homelessness, collapsing infrastructure and a collapsing economy are presented as a call to action.
Occupy Wall Street: American as Apple Pie
Those loud right-wing voices in our political discourse that are trying to make Occupy Wall Street look like something "foreign" to American culture are barking up the wrong tree. When David Crosby and Graham Nash recently showed up at Zuccotti Park for an impromptu sing-along with the protesters they linked OWS with the long American tradition of resistance to […]
At Occupy Camps, Veterans Bring the Wars Home
Tina Dupuy: Expert at living in tents, some veterans are finding new purpose in the streets. It was a surprise to meet Iraq war vets at these protests. There are only, after all, around a million Americans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan in what was once dubbed the War on Terror.
From Occupy Wall Street to Occupy the Neighborhoods
Paul Loeb: Nothing stops the Occupiers and their supporters from can raising their key issues as clearly and powerfully as possible, while reminding people that showing up at the polls still matters.
Occupy LA's Greatest Opportunity: The Polls
Stephen Box: Occupy LA's greatest opportunity to impact the policies and actions that are responsible for eviscerating the middle class, for destroying our economy, for unleashing predatory greed and for selling political access to the highest bidder is to mobilize voters at the polls on election day.
Why Occupying Detroit Is Harder Than It Seems
Rachel Burstein: For many, participating in Occupy Detroit may appear to mean cutting off the hand that feeds them—and failing to address the structural issues underlying Detroit's poor economic state.
The Occupy Movement Needs a Good Fight
Shamus Cooke: If the national Occupy Movement fought for a massive public jobs program and against cuts to social programs by massively taxing the wealthy and corporations, the vast majority of working people would join the movement until it was capable of actually winning these demands.

Rainbow Wahine lose ace, knock off Long Beach
The University of Hawaii softball team lost its ace during a scary play in the circle, and then poured it on at the plate.
Jessica Iwata hit a two-run home run, Jasmine Zamora was 3 for 4 and Kelly Majam scored three runs Friday as the Rainbow Wahine opened a meaningful Big West series with a 7-4 victory against Long Beach State in Honolulu.
Pitcher Kaia Parnaby was an out away from being eligible for her league record-tying 35th win this season when Darian Tautalafua hit a hard one-hopper that ricocheted off Parnaby's glove and hit her in the face. She left the game, and did not return.
Down its workhorse, Hawaii (38-8, 15-1 Big West) made sure reliever Loie Kesterson had plenty of run support, scoring three times in the fourth to take a 7-1 lead.
Iwata's sixth home run of the season to left highlighted the inning, and Kayla Wartner had an RBI single. Wartner, Leishi Liilii, Keiki Carlos and Majam each had two hits, and the Wahine had 12 in all.
Majam tripled and scored in the first, and Carlos plated a run in the third with a single. Iwata's sacrifice fly later in the inning put Hawaii ahead 3-0.
The 49ers (30-20, 12-7) fell out of a tie for second with Pacific and are 4 ½ games behind first-place UH.
Hawaii will try to distance itself further in a 2 p.m. doubleheader today.
Parnaby worked 3 2/3 innings, allowing two hits and an unearned run, and her two strikeouts made her just the second pitcher in school history to reach 300 in a season.
Kesterson (2-2) finished the final 3 1/3 innings, allowing a two-run home run to Ashley Holmes with two outs in the seventh. She yielded seven hits and three runs.
Shayna Kimbrough was 2 for 4 and scored two runs for Long Beach State, which hit into four double plays.
Amanda Hansen (9-7) allowed 10 hits and seven runs (six earned) for the 49ers, with two walks and two strikeouts.

Spike TV's new originals will run together as a block premiering in June. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060322/NYW096LOGO) "The driving forces behind these new shows are the tremendous personalities of these very distinctive characters," said Levy. "We believe their authenticity and honesty will resonate with our young male audience." "Half Pint Brawlers" is a six-episode series chronicling the often-absurd yet astonishing wild adventures of one of the most extraordinary performance groups in the country. These self-proclaimed hardcore little person wrestlers, led by their gregarious owner, Puppet "The Psycho Dwarf," entertain crowds in venues all across the U.S. with their unique brand of wrestling prowess. Along the way, Puppet deals with issues surrounding little person wrestling events while, at the same time, keeping his rambunctious wrestlers in line. A combination of "Jackass" and "Little People, Big World," the new Spike TV series is currently shooting in locations throughout the country. The series will be seen through the eyes of these extreme little people, "The Brawlers," as they travel the underground wrestling circuit filling bars, clubs and arenas ranging from 500-5,000 fans. The show will not only focus on their actions in the ring, but their wild lifestyles outside the ring, filled with chaotic parties and over-zealous groupies. "Half Pint Brawlers" is produced by The Idea Factory and Lumberjack Crew with executive producers Darryl Silver, Stephen David, Duke Straub, Royal Malloy, Jeff Guerriero and Trip Taylor ("Jackass," "Wildboyz"). The show was created by Straub and Guerriero. "Scrappers" is a ten-episode comedic reality show set in one tough office: the streets of Brooklyn, NY. In each episode, this crew of real-life competitors and friends will hunt for the best scrap in town. They'll find treasure in tons of twisted metal, paper, or rubber, recycling everything from old cars to building materials. What others might think is trash, they turn to cash. "Scrappers" begins shooting in Brooklyn in early March. From tough-guy boss Frankie Noots who runs his business from his dilapidated van, to Sal The Barber who's training to become a mixed martial arts fighter when he's not chasing scrap, viewers will get to know these larger-than-life men behind the metal as they pursue the big score and get ever closer to becoming the "Scrap Kings of Brooklyn." "Scrappers" will be Executive Produced by George Verschoor through his Hoosick Falls Productions – Michael J. Weiss and Andy Weiss will also EP. "Scrappers" was created by producer Frank Fidilio and the Weisses. Will Spjut is co-executive producer. Spike TV is available in 98.6 million homes and is a division of MTV Networks.

Several conditions have been described as having a retinal leopard-spot
pattern.1- 6
We report a similar pattern, observed in 1 eye each of 4 young patients (Figure 1), and discuss how this condition
is distinct from previously described lesions; in 2 cases, these leopard-spot
lesions were associated with choroidal neovascularization (CNV).
Fundus photograph of the posterior
pole of cases 1 (A), 2 (B), 3 (C), and 4 (D). Round lesions with peripheral
dark dots result in a leopard-spot pattern. The lesions are located at the
level of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and include fibrosis, hyperplastic
changes of the RPE at the periphery, and thinning and atrophy of the RPE at
the center.
A 34-year-old man was seen because of metamorphopsia. Visual acuity
was 20/20 OU. Medical history and slitlamp examination findings were unremarkable.
Findings from right fundus examination were normal. Left fundus examination
disclosed a round lesion that was located at the level of the retinal pigment
epithelium (RPE) in the posterior pole (Figure
1A) above the macula and a localized serous retinal detachment.
Fluorescein angiography showed CNV at the inferior border of the lesion. Krypton
laser photocoagulation was applied to the new vessel. Three weeks later an
additional angiogram was performed (Figure
2A), which was of better quality than the initial study. This study
showed a leopard-spot pattern at the periphery of the lesion, with hypofluorescent
dots surrounded by reticular staining with the dye. The photocoagulation scar
appeared dark. B-scan ultrasonography did not show any signs of calcification
within the lesion. The lesion appeared to remain stable during a 2-year follow-up.
Fluorescein angiography of cases
1 (A), 2 (B), 3 (C), and 4 (D). The leopard-spot pattern appears to be localized
at the periphery of the lesion in each case. Fluorescein angiography is consistent
with thinning and atrophy of the RPE at the center of the lesion (A and B).
In one case, it also showed anomalies of retinal vasculature: tortuosity and
kinking of arterioles and venules in a localized part of the retina (B).
A 27-year-old man consulted us because he needed an attestation to renew
his boxing license. Visual acuity was 20/25 OD and 20/20 OS. Medical history
and slitlamp examination findings were unremarkable. Results of left fundus
examination were within normal limits. Right fundus examination, however,
disclosed a deep, large, grayish lesion in the interpapillomacular area, with
a leopard-spot pattern at its periphery (Figure 1B). A tiny epiretinal membrane was observed at the inferonasal
aspect of the macula, which was associated with 2 small hemorrhages. The leopard-spot
pattern appeared more obvious on fluorescein angiography (Figure 2B). Fluorescein angiography also disclosed tortuosity and
kinking of arterioles and venules located nasally and inferiorly to the macula.
We interpreted these anomalies of the retinal vessels as a consequence of
the epiretinal membrane. B-scan ultrasonography did not show any signs of
calcification within the lesion. Unfortunately, the patient was lost to follow-up.
A 16-year-old girl was seen with a complaint of "visual fatigue." Visual
acuity was 20/20 OU with correction (+0.50 OD, 90° +0.25 OS). Medical
history and slitlamp examination findings were unremarkable. The left fundus
appeared normal. Right fundus examination disclosed an irregular lesion located
at the level of the RPE, in the papillomacular area, with dark dots surrounded
by a whitish reticular net (Figure 1C).
The leopard-spot pattern appeared more obvious on fluorescein angiography
(Figure 2C). Follow-up was limited
to 6 months, but there was no change during this time.
A 24-year-old man was seen for visual loss and metamorphopsia of the
right eye. Visual acuity was 20/128 OD and 20/20 OS. Medical history revealed
type 2 diabetes mellitus, which was diagnosed when the patient was 2 years
old and treated solely by diet. His mother also had type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Slitlamp examination findings were unremarkable. The left fundus appeared
normal, but the right fundus showed a deep, oval macular lesion with a whitish
reticular border. A central macular detachment was also observed (Figure 1D). Fluorescein angiography showed
a leopard-spot–patterned lesion associated with a juxtafoveal CNV (Figure 2D). A feeder vessel was observed
in the early frames with leakage of dye on late frames (Figure 3A-B). Indocyanine green angiography also showed the CNV
on early frames and a hypofluorescent lesion on late frames (Figure 3C-D). The reticular peripheral net that was hyperfluorescent
on fluorescein angiography appeared hypofluorescent on indocyanine green angiography.
B-scan ultrasonography did not reveal any signs of choroidal calcification.
The CNV was then treated with krypton laser photocoagulation. To date (6-month
follow-up), no recurrence has occurred. A previous ophthalmic examination
had been performed 10 years ago because of the patient's diabetes. The medical
report at that time described a visual acuity of 20/20 OU, pigmentary alterations
of the right fundus, but no suggestion of diabetic retinopathy. An angiogram
had also been performed (Figure 3E).
Comparison of previous and recent angiographies disclosed marked progression
of the leopard-spot lesion.
Case 4. Fluorescein angiography
at 24 seconds (A) and 6 minutes (B). Indocyanine green angiography at 36 seconds
(C) and 25 minutes (D). Previous fluorescein angiography performed 10 years
ago (E). Feeder vessel was present on early frames (A), with marked leakage
on late frames (B). The reticular peripheral net, which was hyperfluorescent
on fluorescein angiography, appeared hypofluorescent on indocyanine green
angiography (C and D). Comparison with a previous angiogram (E) showed marked
extension of the peripheral dots.
Herein, we have described 4 young patients, 3 men and 1 girl, who presented
with a round lesion of one posterior pole. The lesion had a leopard-spot pattern
observed on color fundus photographs and, more obviously, with fluorescein
angiography. B-scan ultrasonography, performed in 3 cases, did not reveal
any calcification. Choroidal neovascularization was observed in 2 patients,
in one case at the border of the lesion and in one case within the leopard-spot
Several systemic conditions may be associated with a leopard-spot pattern
of the fundus, including leukemia, systemic form of large-cell non-Hodgkin
lymphoma, systemic carcinoma with bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation,
and idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome.1- 5
However, all of these acute conditions appear differently from the asymptomatic
pattern observed in our patients, whose troubles were confined to a localized
part of the retina, without associated systemic or ocular conditions.
Patients with chronic idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy may
have a bone corpuscular pattern of migration of pigment in areas of recurrent
and/or chronic serous detachment.6 This
pattern is more frequently observed in patients receiving high doses of corticosteroids.
None of our patients had previous episodes consistent with typical chronic
idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy, and none received corticosteroids.
Furthermore, chronic idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy is unlikely
to develop in a 16-year-old girl (case 3).
Trauma should be taken seriously as a possible cause of the pattern
observed in the present cases. Traumatic choroidopathy can result from acute
contusion necrosis of the RPE. Rupture in the inner choroid and RPE may be
absent, but hemorrhagic detachment of the retina is frequently observed. Resolution
of the detachment and hemorrhages may then reveal varying degrees of RPE atrophy.7 Case 2 acknowledged many instances of trauma to
the face during his boxing activities. However, none of the 4 patients remembered
severe ocular trauma. Moreover, a traumatic origin appeared particularly unlikely
in case 4, for whom comparison of recent and previous angiograms showed marked
changes (Figure 3). In this case,
one could assume that secondary hyperplastic changes followed initial sequelae
of trauma; however, a lack of recollection of severe trauma in all patients
and demonstration of evolution of the lesions in one case led us to hypothesize
that a traumatic cause is unlikely. However, ocular trauma cannot be ruled
out because it could have occurred during infancy or childhood without any
Choroidal or subretinal neovascularization is an acquired abnormality
observed in many congenital, degenerative, infectious, inflammatory, tumoral,
and traumatic processes, some of which are more commonly observed in young
patients.8 Among these conditions, choroidal
osteomas may show a pattern similar to that seen in our patients. Choroidal
osteomas, in summary, are unique, unilateral tumors that arise in the juxtapapillary
and macular region of young adults.9 They
typically have an orange hue but may show some mottling of gray pigment on
the surface. The osteoblastic activity of osteomas may encapsulate some osteoclastic
change. Feeder vessels may be observed exiting from the holes in the anterior
surface of the cancellous bone. This process can evolve to true choroidal
neovascular membranes, which may reveal the osteoma.9
Case 4 also developed CNV with a typical feeder vessel. However, marked attenuation
of sound by the tumor ultrasonographically, which is typical of choroidal
osteomas, could not be demonstrated in our study in the 3 patients so tested.
In our cases, RPE changes may have facilitated the occurrence of CNV.
In summary, to our knowledge, the peculiar leopard-spot pattern of the
retinal lesion observed in our 4 patients has not been previously reported.
Because the cause of these lesions remains unclear, we have designated them
as unilateral, idiopathic leopard-spot lesions of the RPE. Lack of histologic
analysis precludes more discussion on the possible etiologic nature of the
disorder, which seems to associate fibrosis and hyperplastic changes of the
RPE at the periphery of the lesion and thinning and atrophy of the RPE at
the center.
However, we could not rule out trauma as a possible cause of these lesions,
and they may also represent a similar end stage of different causes. The condition
is probably very rare, and its prognosis likely depends on whether CNV develops,
which was observed in 2 of our 4 patients.

The Edmonton Oilers have employed some very effective 4th lines over the years. Jim Dowd was just this side of a folk hero during his time in Edmonton, Shawn Horcoff got his start there and over the next several years Oiler fans will be seeing a lot of kids like Curtis Hamilton and Tyler Pitlick breaking in on the 4line. Quick question: how soon can they get here?

Archbishop Demetrios Calls for Protection of Ecumenical Patriarch
May 10, 2013
NEW YORK – In response to the reports in Turkish and world media about an assassination plot against His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Archbishop Demetrios of America today wrote to President Obama urging him to exercise his good offices to ensure the safety of His All Holiness.
Noting the continuing crisis in Aleppo, Syria, where the Greek Orthodox and Syriac Orthodox Hierarchs remain missing, kidnapped by terrorists, the Archbishop asked the President to protect His All Holiness, as the 1,700 year presence of the Ecumenical Patriarch in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) is the highest Christian presence of a Christian leader in a Muslim country.

Guyana geographical features
Guyana's terrain is mainly rolling highlands. There are low coastal plains in the north, and savanna in the south. The country can be divided into three regions: a narrow plain along the Atlantic where most of the population lives; a white sand belt consisting of dense rainforests; and finally the larger interior highlands consisting mostly of mountains that gradually rise to the Brazilian border. Guyana's highest mountains are lacated here, including Mount Roraima - 2835 m highest mountain in Guyana - part of the Pakaraima range. Between the Rupununi River and the border with Brazil lies the Rupununi savannah, south of which lie the Kanuku Mountains. Principal rivers are the Mazaruni, Demerara and Essequibo. Georgetown is the capital of Guyana. Other important cities include Linden and New Amsterdam.

It was 57 years ago, but Weldon Allard still keeps a memento of his encounter with the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, the ship that preceded the Enterprise now doing battle with the Taliban in Afganistan.
Allard, 79, was a chief Army radio operator during the World War II invasion of Dutch New Guinea. A note dropped from the sky on April 23, 1944.
"We have been bombing and strafing a grove loaded with motor vehicles," the note began. "Believe we have also located barracks in that area which we'll give a good working over."
The note, an informal communication to boost morale among comrades in arms, is signed by members of Torpedo Squadron 10 of the Enterprise.
"I showed it to my commanding officer, he read it and gave it back. I put it in my pocket, and somehow it went through the whole Philippine campaign. I made it home with it," Allard said.
Allard came back after serving three years overseas and earning a Purple Heart.
"I wouldn't have stayed in the military for (Gen. Douglas) MacArthur's job," he said. "But I went through the whole campaign, I even knew where we were supposed to go in Japan until they dropped the atomic bomb and probably saved my life."

Key Benefits
Overview: ReconArt provides a readily configurable workflow to ensure quality, accountability and timeliness of reporting of the financial close at period-end. Accurate and timely balance sheet reconciliation reporting is critical to properly represent the organization's true financial posture to both internal and external stakeholders. Automating this process – which has historically been challenged by a high degree of manual work/volume of detail and a low level of coordination – offers a true step-change by greatly enhancing control and efficiency at period-end.
Purpose: There are many detailed facets related to balance sheet account reconciliation, such as accurate account balances, calculated assets, shareholder equity and outstanding liabilities. Automating the substantiation, review, and approval of this information in a fully auditable environment adds a new level of control and sustainability. The work and task allocation leveraged by the ReconArt solution allows the team to focus on investigations, resolutions, reporting and advisements – versus simply compiling lists of financial data.
Compliance: Best practice and external compliance dictates the adoption of routine reconciliation and account preparation. COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) suggests steps for tight controls on the reconciliation and account certification process through the entire organization. Public companies and those adhering to public-like practices are bound by SOX mandates for period and balance sheet reconciliation reporting and documented accountability. More and more private entities are adopting these practices today in order to enhance control and show a commitment to financial integrity.
The Solution:
