A guide to sniffing out the best coffee
Coffee is known for its intoxicating aroma, but not many people realise that one sniff can tell you everything from whether you'll enjoy the blend, to what time of the day you should drink it.
Australian fragrance expert Clint Dowdell has been working with Nespresso to educate people about the importance of taking time out to sniff your coffee before you guzzle it.
Clint has come up with four key things anyone can find out about their favourite blends by simple smelling them.
The aroma of a coffee blend speaks volumes about the quality of the beans. Poor quality blends will have a one-dimensional scent that can smell stale or otherwise unappetising. Good quality coffee has a rich aroma with many different notes that leaves your mouth watering and your hands fumbling for your spare change.
"Like anything, like a good fragrance, you can actually smell the quality of the ingredients," Clint says. "With an inferior quality perfume, half an hour after you spray it on you can't smell it any more, or it smells different or sour.
"It's the same thing with coffee. If the beans aren't of exceptional quality, the flavour doesn't resonate in the mouth, you don't have that beautiful follow-through. The aftertaste is wrong and it doesn't smell right either."
Time of day
A quick sniff can also tell you what time of day a coffee is perfect for. Bitter blends are more suited to early morning, while coffees with floral notes are good for afternoon and evening consumption.
"The scent is great for picking coffee to suit the mood you're in, or the time of day," Clint says. "In the morning, you might want a slap-in-the-face jolt to wake you up, so you'd go for the bitter, dark chocolate scents.
"But if it's mid-afternoon, or a Sunday morning and you're after something a bit more gentle, you look for other smells, like jasmine and orange blossoms and fruity aromas, soft and subtle notes."
No experience necessary
Clint has worked in the fragrance industry for years, but says you don't need any training to pick the right type of coffee for you.
"It's very easy for people who are educated to really get into fragrances and perfumes, but when it comes to coffee, the layman is just as qualified," Clint says.
"If you have three coffees sitting there, you can walk up and sniff them and if you enjoy the smell, you're going to enjoy the coffee.
"You don't need any information about what the different notes mean, or how they indicate quality. If you like it, you like it — you don't need a degree to tell you that."
Stop and smell the beans
Coffee is powerfully associated with aroma, but Clint says most people have forgotten the art of savouring the smell of their morning cup. He advises every coffee-lover to take time out to sniff every cup to get the most out of their coffee.
"The smell of coffee is something we often waste," Clint says. "To me, it's like walking through an art gallery with your eyes shut. To smell it, and enjoy that moment, can really enhance your experience."

Another day, another David Oku update.
As we all know by now, Mr. Oku has moved from his Oklahoma high school to one in Lincoln, Neb., which happens to be the home of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He moved to be closer to his girlfriend. We care because Auburn, Syracuse, Tennessee and Ole Miss are recruiting him. The Journal Star in Lincoln said today that ``all indications are that Nebraska has halted its recruitment of running backs for the 2009 class.''
That brings us to today's quote from that newspaper:
"I don't have a leader at all, anything like that," Oku said. "My whole thing is I'm focused on school. I'm really not too worried about football right now...Recruiting's been dead really."
The rest of the Lincoln newspaper story is here.

To the editor:
I had to opportunity to work with many supervisors over my career. As the Webster County Community Services Administrator, I had the opportunity to work with Supervisor Clark Fletcher on a daily basis. Clark Fletcher is one of the best. I would urge voters of Webster County's Supervisor District 5 to vote for Clark. A man of integrity and intelligence, Clark listens, quickly grasps what he is hearing and asks great questions for clarification and understanding. A businessman, he understands budgets, finances, management and employees. Having done his homework, he comes prepared for meetings and offers constructive ideas. He thoughtfully and articulately expresses his opinions. He is a strong leader who strives daily to best address the needs and concerns of the citizens of Webster County. For Webster County to continue on a path of excellence, we need his leadership on the Board of Supervisors. Vote for Clark Fletcher, Supervisor for District 5.

- I love having my own tiny house all to myself. Though the space does not have walls to separate, I enjoy the distinct living areas I've created. One of the must-haves on my list was a lovely dining room for entertaining. I searched high and low for the perfect vintage pieces to fill it. My most beloved piece is the bar cart that I always make sure to keep fully stocked.

Read the full review
Squeezes every GTA nuance into a portable game; Stunning audio; Not bogged down by long loads
Liberty City and mob theme getting old; Missions don't stray from standard GTA formula.
The review also contains some new screenshots. IGN rated the game 9 out of 10, while the average reader score is currently at 9.3.
Few games actually change the way you feel about a platform. They take the established standard and tear it to pieces. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City (LCS) Stories is one such game. It takes the preconceptions about what a handheld can do and totally ignores them. It provides an experience so large and so complex that it's a wonder that it actually runs at all. The GTA series has always succeeded in sheer scope and complexity, and thankfully, it's no different on the as a handheld. There are no hardcore sacrifices, either. LCS uses the same kind of intricate 3D engine that put the series (and the developer) on the map with GTA III.
The new trailer showing off the mutiplayer mode is available in Windows Media and Quicktime formats as usual, as well as the PSP version. There are also plenty of new screens on the website, which you can now see on our screenshots page.
Hey guys,
Thought I'd let you know that we updated the official Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories website . There is also a new multiplayer trailer.
[email protected]*
Thanks to OG_Loc87 on the IGN boards for this.
Like all the GTA's before it, LCS has many problems. Some of them are caused by the PSP, and some are the same ones that people have been waiting years for Rockstar to fix. Since the game relies so heavily on running and shooting, you'd think that it would be polished to perfection, but it isn't, and the driving mechanics are the same we had in GTA3 and Vice City.
You can now fine-tune your aiming by tapping down on the D-pad and then holding down the L button. But even so, it's the type of feature you'll forget is there, because it's unessential. Many missions require you to wander into a crowded area and pick off specific targets, while everyone around you opens fire, but you can tap R to lock on to a target.
You often have to be quick, because you'll either struggle with aiming or you'll use all your ammo wiping everything out. It is a hugegame and will likely take you 40-50 hours to complete and even then, there are 33 other "games" inside it, that could take a further 5-10 hours.
Karmageddon: Steal a fire truck and then cause as much chaos as you can.
Noodle Punk: Grab a scooter at the noodle restaurant and start making deliveries.
Car Salesman: Earn a commission by taking customers on successful test drives.
Trashmaster: Race across Liberty City to collect all the dumpsters within the time limit and drop it off at the Junkyard.
Insane Stunt Jumps: Use the PCJ600 bike and other new vehicles to soar over the ramps, hills and jumps found around Liberty City.
They also have some new screenshots with their article.
AVENGING ANGELS - Put an end to violence in Liberty City, help keep the streets safe.
SCOOTER SHOOTER - Toni and his friendly scooter driver have to take out as many targets as possible within three minutes. He drives, Toni shoots with a Tec-9 with unlimited ammo. Wreak havoc on targets within the city; get as many as you can before time expires.
BIKE SALESMAN - Show the customer exactly what that machine is capable of, but only show off the kind of ride they're looking for!
SEE THE SIGHTS BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT - Get a picture of the tourist in front of their favorite landmark, but make sure to get them back in time for their flight! Quality counts, great snapshots will be rewarded with extra cash.
FirstCom Music has announced that "March Popakov Remix," a FirstCom-licensed track written by John Cacavas and produced by Danger Mouse, was selected as the theme song for the video game Grand Theft Auto—Liberty City Stories. "We are very excited about this placement," says Sam Kling, vice president, Film and TV music for FirstCom. "We believe that FirstCom can bring a lot to the table in the way of quality music for the gaming industry. We are looking forward to expanding our presence in this market over the next year." In addition to theme placement in the video game, the remix will be featured in all television advertising for the game worldwide.
This "PSP" edition will feature 10 radio stations, including the return of the hip-hop Playback FM, featuring '90s stalwarts such as Mobb Deep and N.O.R.E. spun by New York's DJ Clue. Also on the dial are the franchise-familiar reggae-fest KJAH, stations for world music, classical and drum and bass, along with one devoted to the works of Giorgio Moroder, an influential electronic-music producer who also composed the soundtrack to 1984's "Flashdance." Two stations feature music entirely composed by Rockstar North, the developer of the console "GTA" titles. Another frequency is all talk, which will likely be the game's funniest.
In other news, we posted about the MTA Team releasing a "Quality Assurance" video the other day. They also released another one which we didn't mention, so head over to the MTASA Videos page to download Quality Assurance 2.
I've put together 3 picture gallery's comparing Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas with their real-life counterparts Los Angelos, San Fransisco and Las Vegas. The gallery's provide a very good insight in the detailing Rockstar has put into San Andreas.

Through the fog that accompanies a potential blockbuster four-team trade, the Nets have been charged with the task of trying to move past the uncertainty and prepare for the season.
Despite the fact that at least three players on the current roster have been named as more-than-likely moving pieces and that a team official declared everyone except Brook Lopez as potential bait, training camp officially started at 9:30 Saturday morning at the Nets' practice facility in East Rutherford.
For Avery Johnson, who had just completed his first official team practice as head coach, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
He said he was not informed of any trades, and to defer all questions to general manager Billy King, who was not made available Saturday.
"I didn't see a distracted team in practice," Johnson said. "They practiced hard and they got after it today. We had a good first practice, we have a long ways to go, that's an understatement
"The guys aren't worried about anything, they're pros. We've been hearing speculation about trades and free agency since July 1.
To finish, a high-paced scrimmage featured Devin Harris and Derrick Favors, the two most prominent — and likely— names to be traded, on opposite squads. They played just as big a role as any other member in practice, in a time period where Johnson said gelling as a team is crucial.
Favors was seen dishing a nice pass inside. Harris drove the lane and hit a reverse layup, drawing a foul.
But off the court, the questions were still surrounding the them. For Harris, this was nothing new. He and rookie Favors said the things they were supposed to, given the circumstances.
Both stated they had not heard anything from their agents or team management regarding the potential blockbuster trade for Carmelo Anthony.
"I've been here before," Harris said. "I just come to work every day and come to practice. The only thing I can control is what I do on the floor.
"It makes me feel popular," he joked. "Like I said, it's not like I haven't been there before and you know, rumors are rumors and you can't really worry to much about it."
There was nothing overtly noticeable about their demeanor, on or off the court, that would suggest their time in New Jersey was almost over.
Although Harris, who had been vocal about being a major part of turning around a 12-70 team, did wear his emotions on his sleeve for a few brief seconds.
"We don't always get what we want," he said. "And that's just the way life is."
Toward the end of practice, rookie forward Damion James sat on the sideline with a large ace bandage and ice wrap around his right ankle. Johnson called it "a little light sprain."
"He should be okay," Johnson said. "He did it right at the end of practice."
Across from him was the newly acquired Troy Murphy, who was working the elliptical in lieu of a team scrimmage going on right in front of him. Johnson said that it's a minor groin issue that will keep Murphy out of full-contact practice for the next two or three days.
"Troy was out today, he's just a little light groin issue that we're managing," Johnson said.
In the meantime, he'll do "just non-contact stuff," Johnson said.

The past week has been very difficult for Affliction. Josh Barnett, who was slated to face Fedor Emelianenko next month in Anaheim, Calif., tested positive for a banned substance.
Affliction was unable to find a suitable replacement for Barnett on short notice and cancelled its August 1 show. This show's cancellation and low pay-per-view figures generated by the promoter's previous two shows, proved too much for Affliction to swallow.
As a result, the respected clothing manufacturer has decided to no longer promote fight cards and will reunite with Ultimate Fighting Championship. This is good news for MMA fans, who get to see more high-quality matches.
See FightLedger.com for a full report.

Ground conditions are expected to be the best for years for the prestigious two-day meeting at Fairyhouse this weekend.
The recent decent spell of weather means all is set fair for the fixture featuring three Grade One races on Sunday.
"We're having a great run-in at last and it's all set fair for a great weekend," Fairyhouse general manager Peter Roe told At The Races.
"At the moment the ground is good, good to yielding in places. I don't think the ground will change significantly from the current going description. We have no serious rain forecast.
"At this time of year there is no real drying, but for the first time since the year 2000 the words 'soft' or 'heavy' will not appear in the going description for this meeting. That's great in itself.
"Everything is pointing to a great weekend and the weather is giving us a great chance this year. The forecast for the weekend is lovely, dry and cold, and it's cracking racing. This is really what whets the appetite."

25 Must-Read Nonprofit IT Blogs 2016
You know and love our Must-Read IT Blogs lists, but now, say hello to the nonprofit side.
In 1962, the "car of future" was depicted as a wingless flying machine equipped with a departure-pod system. At least that's what the creators of The Jetsons imagined.
Looking at the cars cruising on the streets today makes it evident that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera's high-flying dreams have not yet come to fruition.
But we are closer to owning cars that drive themselves. A new infographic presented by InsuranceQuotes.com provides an overview of the driverless car of the future.
In the years to come, human interfaces such as the steering wheel may be replaced with adaptive sensors and software. Among these new technologies will be electro-optical/infrared cameras that will detect lane departure and help to avoid reverse collisions.
By the year 2040, autonomous cars will account for up to 75 percent of vehicles on the road. They not only will be programmed to follow local traffic laws but also will move into intersections seamlessly.
Since 90 percent of vehicle crashes can be attributed to driver error, let's hope the self-driving car comes sooner rather than later.
Take a look at the full infographic below to learn more about the car of the future.

Friday's deadly shootout in LaPlace started as a routine drug buy for an undercover agent who quickly found himself the target of an armed robbery, a State Police spokesman said Monday.
The 11:30 a.m. shootout began shortly after a trooper, who drove to the LaPlace Oaks public housing complex in an unmarked vehicle, made an undercover drug transaction with a group of four men, State Police spokesman Trooper Joseph Piglia said.
During the transaction on Joe Parquet Circle, Piglia said the undercover trooper got into a brief conversation with four men. One of the men pulled a handgun and pointed it at the trooper while another punched him in the face.
Piglia said the four men robbed the agent, who was not identified by authorities.
After a struggle, the trooper pulled out a weapon and fired several shots at the armed men before taking cover, according to a State Police press release.
Two of the men were struck by gunfire, while the other two fled, the release said.
Jeremiah Randle, 20, of LaPlace died in the shootout. A housing authority official said Monday that Randle was not a resident of the complex.
The shootout left a Derrick Dennis, 26, of LaPlace injured. Dennis, who tried to flee from authorities after he was treated at River Parishes Hospital for a gunshot wound to the buttocks, was later booked with armed robbery, distribution of cocaine, resisting arrest and simple escape.
Authorities also arrested Neon Narcisse, 20, and Carnell Randle, 30, both of LaPlace, in connection with the armed robbery and shootout.
Narcisse, who turned himself in late Friday, was booked with attempted first-degree murder, armed robbery, distribution of cocaine and simple battery. It was Narcisse, Piglia said, who punched the agent in the face during the robbery.
Randle, who was arrested at 5 p.m. Saturday at the scene of the shootout, was booked with armed robbery and distribution of cocaine.
Dennis, Narcisse and Randle were being held Monday in the Sherman Walker Correctional Facility in LaPlace. Dennis was being held on a $234,000 bond, while Narcisse was being held on a $452,500 and Randle was being held on a $200,000 bond.
Housing Authority Director Lawand Johnson, who had just installed security cameras around the complex, said Friday's shootout was tragedy.
"It's unfortunate," Johnson said. "Someone lost their life."

Best Buy put in significant amount into training and inventory of windows 8 PCs and Surface tablets:
SEATTLE (Reuters) - Consumer sales of Windows-powered personal computers fell 21 percent overall last month, according to a leading retail research firm, indicating a lackluster debut for Microsoft Corp's Windows 8 operating system, which many in the industry had hoped would revive slack PC sales.
Since the launch of Windows 8 on October 26, Windows laptop sales are down 24 percent, while desktop sales are down 9 percent compared with the same period last year, said NPD Group, which tracks computer sales weekly using data supplied by retailers.
Usually a new Microsoft release boosts PC sales, as many consumers hold off from purchases for several months prior so they can get hold of the latest software immediately.
That's just ridiculous. There are a lot of good reasons why BBY is down, but Windows 8 is certainly not one of the major ones.
Sentiment: Sell
I think the execs/managers at BBY expected windows 8 to do a major push for PC sales like all the other windows releases. They spent a considerable amount of training, marketing and inventory and sales has been very disappointing and hit their bottom line. The -4% and more same store sales points this as a contributing factor as Best buy concentrated on this sale and it hasn't panned out. They should have concentrated on cell phone sales.
I guess we got another shorty
Sentiment: Hold
Why buy a new computer when installing Windows 8 makes your old computer go faster than it ever went, heck my 6 year old notebook is now as fast as my new less than my less than a year old notebook I bought to replace it because it was too slow.

text: Is there any appreciable difference between the resizing process/quality of a 28 ga. hull between the MEC 600 JR vs. the Sizemaster? I have Sizemasters in 12/20 that use the full collet type of resizer and I have no experience with the 600's type of resizer. I picked up a NIB MEC 600 JR sitting in a dusty corner of a local range for $50- so I couldn't pass on it. I will be reloading for a SxS mainly, if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

Craigslist for One-Stop Shopping, and Also Organ Transplants
Things you might find if you were to go to Craigslist right now: an ad for a runaway cat; unrelenting softcore porn in the politics section; several flea-bitten mattresses whose owners may or may not be dead. You might even find a few résumés of people pitching their "value-added risk management solutions to sophisiticated money managers" (but just the sophisticated ones).
Also on Craigslist: someone in need of a kidney transplant.
That's right, a person claiming to represent a man in serious need of a kidney is asking Craigslisters to get tested for compatibility. The qualifications? You have to have O-positive blood, and be free and clear of diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer. If you've got the goods, then whoever this is will cover your medical expenses. The ad promises that "Through safe laparoscopic kidney donation, there is less pain, a 24-48 hour hospital stay followed by a two-week recovery period, rapid return to normal activities, and a completely normal life expectancy."
All interested kidney donors should casually drop a line through Craigslist.

In case you're unaware of the literature on organ transplantation, the poster's got you covered. The ad provides links to the Mayo Clinic organ donation page, some YouTube instructional videos on kidney transplants, and interviews with transplant surgeons about the procedure.
Let it never be said that giving an Internet stranger a vital organ is not without its benefits. In the state of New York, kidney transplants can win you up to $10,000 in tax deductions if the transplant takes you out of work. Throw in a free popsicle and you have a deal, sir.
It's not clear if this is some kooky gag or someone so desperate for a kidney that they smartly took advantage of Craigslisters' atrophied sense of stranger danger (still waiting for comment from the poster). Even so, It's hard not to wonder why requests for organs don't show up on Craigslist more often. When last month 10-year-old Sarah Murnaghan couldn't get new lungs because of United Network for Organ Sharing's absurdly bureaucratic procedure for passing around vital organs, her parents had to go to a judge to get her the help she needed. Seems harder than hopping on the Internet.
Correction: An earlier version of this post listed Sarah Murnaghan's age as 12. She is 10 years old.

This game is really well done and I love your story. In fact the first time I played this, I cried tears of sadness, then joy. I play this game almost everyday now, to remind myself things will only get better. Aside from that, the sound effects are catchy, the music fits perfectly, and the programming and artwork is fantastic. All and all, I hope your life is a lot better, and you should really make some more games!

In sports you always learn that if you don't finish first, you finish last. When you get drafted first overall, you get the money, but you also have the most pressure on you to succeed. If not you go down in history as a huge failure or what we call a bust. People forget about who was drafted second overall. Lets take a look back ten years and see where they are now.
2001- Tyson Chandler drafted by the Clippers but traded to Chicago. Averaging 8.5 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks. He is known for his defense around the rim and most recently won a championship in Dallas. He left via free agency to the Knicks where he is currently chasing after another ring.
2002- Jay Williams drafted by Chicago stayed in the League only a year, because of a horrible motorcycle accident where he suffered serious injuries. He was never able to overcome those injuries, even though in his brief stint he showed promise.
2003- Darko Milicic drafted by Detroit currently averaging 5 points, 4 rebounds a game for Minnesota. Yes, he is still in the league and he was starting for the Wolves before a recent injury. Now he finds himself riding the pine once again and probably will not be in the league much longer.
2004- Emeka Okafor drafted by Charlotte currently averaging 9 points and 8 rebounds for the Hornets. He has actually been given a change of scenery and has been doing pretty well for them. Luckily for Okafor he was able to escape that dark hole they call Bobcats but he will not be anything more than a player off the bench.
2005- Marvin Williams- drafted by the Hawks averaging 9 points and 5 rebounds for them. Williams has actually played pretty well for the Atlanta but they haven't been able to make it to the Championship. He has been linked to trade rumors as of late, most recently to Cleveland.
2006- Lemarcus Aldridge drafted by Chicago then traded to Portland. Aldridge has been amazing for the Blazers averaging 22 points, and 8 rebounds a game. He is quietly having an amazing season and has a great career ahead barring any serious injuries.
2007- Kevin Durant drafted by Seattle(Oklahoma) averaging 27 points, 8 rebounds a game. He has breathed new life into this franchise and will be a superstar for years to come.
2008- Michael Beasley drafted by Miami averaging 12 points and 5 rebounds for Minnesota. His problem is not his talent but his off the court issues. He has a chance being on a young team to start a new path, so we will definitely keep an eye on him.
2009- Hasheem Thabeet drafted by Memphis now playing for Houston averaging 1 point and 1 rebound a game. This is actually very disappointing for a that's 7'3″. There's not that many 7 footers left in the league and he has the God-given tools to dominate. Unfortunately he will be nothing more than a bench warmer.
2010- Evan Turner drafted by Philadelphia averaging 8 points and 5 rebounds a game. Turner has had some up and down times in his two years. He has talent, but to be a superstar? I don't think so.
Overall, some teams have hit gold with their drafts but most No. 2 picks have not panned out. It goes to show you that drafting is like a box of chocolates. you never know what you're going to get

GRAND RAPIDS — Mia Tavonatti minces no words when she talks about ArtPrize.
Sure, the artist from Santa Ana, Calif., had just won $250,000 for first place in the popular vote for her stained-glass mosaic portrayal of the Crucifixion.
But Tavonatti, originally from the Upper Peninsula's Iron Mountain, said it's the event itself that inspires her.
"I think it's the most avant-garde arena in art out there," she said. "And I think it's amazing."
Travel writer Ben Mutzabaugh, after visiting Grand Rapids for ArtPrize, said the same in USA Today last week.
"It's surprisingly just like it sounds, which is perhaps what makes the competition so interesting," Mutzabaugh said. "Still, what impressed at least as much as the art itself was the response it all received from both the community and participants. The streets of downtown Grand Rapids were packed with visitors."
ArtPrize the $450,000 competition, is over, but the 19-day exhibition still is happening. Even so, all good things come to an end, and ArtPrize 2011 ends today.
All 163 venues downtown plus Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park are open from noon to 6 p.m. for one final look at the 1,582 works.
If the past two years are any indication, plenty of visitors will flock to the venues with the prize-winning works announced Thursday in DeVos Performance Hall.
Last year, lines snaked around the interior of the Grand Rapids Art Museum, where thousands came to see the first-prize winner, "Cavalry, American Officers, 1921," by Chris LaPorte.
This year, even before the winners announcement, about 130,000 people had visited the art museum since the Sept. 21 opening of ArtPrize.
Not far behind was Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts, at its new home in the Gallery on Fulton.
UICA doesn't have any of the top 10 pieces in the popular vote, but it has three juried award-winners — Michele Brody's "Nature Preserve," best 3-D best 3-D work; Caroline Young's "Remember:Replay:Repeat," given the Time Lapse Award; and Evertt Beidler's "The Progressive Movement(s)," which took the Ox-Bow Fellowship.
"We have already matched our attendance numbers from last year with 120,000 visitors," Phil Meade, UICA's director of external relations, said Friday. "And if it is anything like the past two weekends, we expect around 20,000 people through our doors."
Other venues also were pleased with the ArtPrize turnout, as of Friday.
Attendance at Cathedral Square doubled, according to Mary Haarman, director of communications.
"We're so pleased with the number of visitors," she said Friday. "As of today, we went over 20,000 visitors."
Women's City Club passed 11,000 visitors, said business manager Diana Annibali, adding that the venue on Fulton Street is marking down its ArtPrize merchandise 25 percent as well as serving food.
"We're hoping that a lot of people will come out these last days and see all the hidden treasures around the city," Annibali said. "The weather should be perfect for it."

PatientPlus articles are written by UK doctors and are based on research evidence, UK and European Guidelines. They are designed for health professionals to use, so you may find the language more technical than the condition leaflets.
Recurrent miscarriage is defined as the loss of three or more consecutive pregnancies.
Miscarriage, the most common complication of pregnancy, is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the fetus has reached viability. The term therefore includes all pregnancy losses from the time of conception until 24 weeks of gestation in the UK, but may be 20 weeks of gestation in other parts of the world.
- Miscarriage occurs in 15-20% of recognised pregnancies.
- 1% of couples trying to conceive have recurrent miscarriages.
- This is much higher than the 0.34% calculated risk of three occurring consecutively by chance alone.
- Following three consecutive miscarriages, the risk of further miscarriage is about 40%.
- A woman may develop recurrent miscarriage after a successful pregnancy.
No underlying cause is found in many of them.

Risk factors
- Increasing maternal age affects ovarian function and increases rates of aneuploidy in association with older oocytes.
- There are a higher number of conceptions that are chromosomally abnormal and do not develop.
- As the number of miscarriages increases, the risk of chromosomal abnormalities decreases and the risk of underlying maternal cause increases.
- Genetic abnormalities:
- Recurrent miscarriage may be linked to chromosomal abnormality in 2-5% of couples.
- A balanced reciprocal or Robertsonian translocation is the most common type.[1]
- Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS):
- This is the most important treatable cause of recurrent miscarriage.
- The antiphospholipid antibodies, lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies and anti-B2-glycoprotein I antibodies may be associated with recurrent miscarriage before ten weeks.
- Antiphospholipid antibodies are present in 15% of women with recurrent miscarriage.[2]
- APS is the only proven thrombophilia that is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.[3]
- Structural:
- Uterine anomalies (arcuate or septate) are seen in between 10-25% of cases of recurrent miscarriage.[2] Only 50% of pregnancies where there is a uterine structural abnormality achieve term delivery.
- Uterine fibroids are present in up to 30% of women, but the way they affect reproductive loss is unclear.
- Cervical incompetence (late miscarriage preceded by spontaneous rupture of membranes or painless cervical dilatation) may often be a cause of mid-trimester recurrent miscarriage.
Second-trimester miscarriages may be linked to uterine malformations such as the presence of a uterine septum or a bicornuate uterus.
- Endocrine:
- Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome are at higher risk of miscarriage, which may be related to insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia.
- There is insufficient evidence to support the use of metformin during pregnancy to reduce this risk.
- Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus is a risk factors for recurrent miscarriage.
- Immune:
- Women with recurrent miscarriage have more natural killer cells in their uterine mucosa than controls and those with the highest levels have a correspondingly high rate of miscarriage in subsequent pregnancies.
- However, there is no association between the levels of natural killer cells in peripheral blood and in the uterine mucosa. Levels of natural killer cells in peripheral blood are not predictive of pregnancy outcome in women with unexplained recurrent miscarriage.
- Inherited thrombophilia:
- Inherited thrombophilia, such as protein C and S deficiency, may have a role in recurrent miscarriage, because of an increased risk of thrombosis in the uteroplacental circulation.
- Women with second-trimester miscarriage should be screened for inherited thrombophilia.
- Infections:
- Bacterial vaginosis in the first trimester is a risk factor for second-trimester miscarriage and preterm delivery.
- Antiphospholipid antibodies:
- The presence of these is associated with early miscarriages and maternal morbidity and is referred to as primary APS. There is requirement for two tests at least six weeks apart showing either lupus anticoagulant or anticardiolipin antibodies at significant levels.
- Women with recurrent first-trimester miscarriage and all women with one or more second-trimester miscarriages should be screened for antiphospholipid antibodies before pregnancy.
- Women with second-trimester miscarriage should be screened for inherited thrombophilias including factor V Leiden, factor II (prothrombin) gene mutation and protein S.
- All women with recurrent first-trimester miscarriage and all women with one or more second-trimester miscarriages should have pelvic ultrasound to assess uterine anatomy.
- If uterine anomalies are detected then further investigations, such as hysteroscopy and/or laparoscopy, may be required.
- Karyotyping of products of conception should be undertaken on the products of conception from the third (and any subsequent) miscarriages. If an unbalanced structural chromosomal abnormality is found, referral to genetics is indicated.[4]
- Parental peripheral blood karyotyping of both partners should be performed in couples with recurrent miscarriage where testing of products of conception reports an unbalanced structural chromosomal abnormality.
Note: the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) does not recommend routine screening for diabetes, inherited coagulopathies, thyroid disease, serum prolactin, or toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex (TORCH).[4]
General advice
Reassurance should be given about the high probability of a successful outcome. In a large trial that included women with 4.2 consecutive miscarriages and an average age of 32.7 years, the placebo group was shown to have a live birth rate of 65%.[2]
Pharmacological treatment
- In primary APS patients, heparin combined with low-dose aspirin improves live birth rate to 70%.[5] There ARE only limited data supporting the use of heparin in women without APS.[6]
- There is some evidence suggesting that use of metformin during pregnancy is associated with a reduction in the miscarriage rate in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.[7]
- However, the RCOG DOES NOT recommend its use in pregnancy at present until further randomised prospective study results are available to provide adequate evidence of safety and efficacy of its use.[8]
- A Cochrane review found evidence of benefit for progestogen therapy in women with a history of recurrent miscarriage. There was no statistically significant difference in rates of adverse effects.[9]
- However, there is currently a large randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicentre trial underway - the Progesterone in recurrent miscarriage (PROMISE) study - which aims to provide a definitive answer regarding progesterone use in women with recurrent miscarriages.[10]
- Cervical cerclage (a Shirodkar or McDonald suture) is used where cervical incompetence is suspected. However, it is overdiagnosed as a cause of second-trimester miscarriage. The cerclage procedure also carries a risk of stimulating uterine contractions.
- Cerclage benefit increases as the cervix shortens to less than 25 mm. It has also been shown to be beneficial in those women with a shortened cervical length of less than 25 mm.[11]

HOOKSTOWN -- A western Pennsylvania coroner says she's not prepared to say how a 4-year-old boy found stuffed in a septic tank died. An autopsy was performed Sunday on Wyatt Smitsky, but Beaver County Coroner Teri Tatalovich-Rossi said Monday more tests are needed. She declined to say how long it may be before she rules.
Smitsky's body was found around 12:45 p.m. Saturday after searchers drained a septic tank on property near his home in Greene Township, about 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. The child had been reported missing by his family around 7:30 p.m. Friday.
State police are calling it a homicide investigation, but say they're waiting for autopsy results before charging anyone. Smitsky's parents have been questioned.
Several hundred people attended a vigil for Smitsky at the Hookstown Free Methodist Church on Sunday night.

YouTube continues to pursue the wrong path in the realm of premium online rentals.
Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG ) wildly popular video-sharing site is trying to carve a path for indie filmmakers and active uploaders to sell their cinematic creations online. The experiment that began back in January -- when YouTube turned to its massive user base to pay $3.99 to rent one of five critically acclaimed Sundance-screened films -- has been marinating in weak sauce ever since.
The initial trial was poorly received. A quick check of The Cove -- the most prolific rental offering so far -- finds that the video views are no longer visible. What's the platform trying to hide?
There's a workaround to get our answer. If we go to the movie's channel, we see that there are two uploads on it. The channel has received 74,379 upload views, with 73,924 of those going to the free movie trailer. The balance, one would infer, represents views of the premium flick itself. Can it be? Has the movie really received just hundreds of premium rentals, or did YouTube just shut down those views altogether after a certain point?
I'm not here to trash the YouTube Rentals program. I'm here to help. As the site expands the program by accepting more user submissions through its pay-to-view model, it's destined to repeat the mistakes that other dot-com heavyweights with piecemeal streams have encountered.
Let's go over a few of the reasons why premium rentals on YouTube haven't exactly set the world on fire:
- Renters must set up Google Checkout accounts to pay for the streams. Having an option for eBay's (Nasdaq: EBAY ) more popular PayPal, or even regular credit cards, would be more conducive, though clearly this is set up as a way to make Google's own financial platform more ubiquitous.
- YouTube's popularity is the result of free ad-supported clips. Even the lowest $0.99 rental price point may seem too pricey to typical users.
- Google's YouTube Partners program works well. Why would an indie filmmaker offer a rental to a very limited audience, when the same flick is likely to earn more -- in whole or in parts -- through ad-supported free clips?
The real stumbling block, though, is YouTube's decision to make viewers pay per movie. Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI ) and Amazon.com are trying to sell a la carte digital rentals, but Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX ) is running away with the market because it offers an attractively priced "all you can stream" buffet.
Isn't that the model YouTube should be following? Instead of selling rentals one at a time, YouTube should be pitching premium accounts where folks pay $5 or $10 a month to stream all of its rentals.
In Netflix fashion, such a service from YouTube couldn't be only about streaming. Customers seem to prefer that feature as one part of a grander service. Premium YouTube accounts could include enhanced community features, navigational perks, and social goodies, with a chunk of the premium revenue distributed to filmmakers and studios providing premium rentals (prorated accordingly, relative to views).
YouTube needs to be careful here. Its rental program can become a liability if it creates confusion -- as it has and will. The site can never alienate freeloadeing users, who will always make up the overwhelming majority of its visitors. However, now that even its nearest rival -- Hulu -- is apparently ironing out a premium plan, YouTube can't afford to play a poor hand here.
Will premium rentals on YouTube ever work? Share your thoughts in the comment box below.

ELIZABETH — Two armed bandits carjacked a vehicle from a couple while a second driver narrowly escaped three carjackers in two incidents that occurred just 70 minutes apart Wednesday night.
At 6:30 p.m. officers received reports of a carjacking in the 1200 block of Virginia Street, where a 77-year-old woman said she and a passenger were robbed after she pulled her 2013 Toyota Venza to the curb to use her cellular phone, police Lt. Daniel Saulnier said.
About 10 minutes after she stopped, a man approached the passenger side of the vehicle and pointed a black handgun at the man in the passenger seat, ordering him out of the car, Saulnier said.
At the same moment, a second suspect approached the driver and ordered her out of the vehicle, the victim told police.
Both bandits then drove toward Newark Liberty International Airport in the black Venza, which has a Massachusetts license plate number 3MAK80, Saulnier said. He said the vehicle has not been recovered.
Just over an hour later, at 7:40 p.m. officers responded to an attempted carjacking in the 500 block of Niles Street.
A 65-year-old driver told police he was talking with a passenger in his car when three men approached, two in front of the car who pulled out handguns, and a third who tried to pull open the driver's door, which was locked, Saulnier said.
The victim quickly sped past the bandits, who fled on foot toward Fifth Street, the lieutenant said.
He said the driver was unable to provide any description of the bandits.
Police did not say whether the two crimes might be related.
These attacks came just three days after a Hoboken man was shot and killed in a carjacking at the Short Hills Mall in Millburn that occurred as the man and his wife were leaving the mall. The wife was not injured.
• Short Hills mall carjacking victim struggled with attackers, authorities say

I'd take the cash. Sure, I'd use 1/4 of it to buy a computer, 1/4 to buy a new mountain bike, and maybe the remaining 5k on a motorcycle.
I'll take the cash and build a nice computer for me and spend the rest on my family and charity.
Definitely cash, I could build a good system for 2-3k and pocket the rest.
Even if I didn't have a decent pc I'd build a new one for FAAAAR less than that. Really you'd have to be crazy to spend 10k on a pc since it's just gonna be outdated anyway... I'd rather spend around 1k euros and upgrade some parts every year or so.
cash of course, since i already got a powerfull 2500dollar comp right now.
and id use the money to instead upgrade my current comp even more so its just as powerfull as the 10K computer would be :P
and bank whats left
I wsould also take the cash,do some awesome upgrades and donate the old parts to someone in my clan that is less fortunate and upgrade theres to play BF3.
Well, I have a little over $2K in my machine now and it takes on anything I toss at it. I am considering going form 2-way SLI to 3-way SLI though. I would take the cash I think though. Use it for upgrades to Kepler and Ivy Bridge next year and get some parts for my RX-8. Been wanting a Racing Beat exhaust and ram air intake. I'm sure I can find a few more things to spend the cash on too. lol
I'd take the cash, its like the same between a gift card to a shop worth $10,000 or just the cash. Its the same value just limited.
I'd take the cash and have the freedom and enjoyment out of building it myself
Cash and use some of it for PC upgrades
i already got a good pc, cash please :D
Cash, I'd spent $1500 on the system and a $1000 on a 27" IPS Monitor with 2560X1600 Resolution..
I'll take the computer that costs the same amount in money. :)
Build a nice system for about 4 to 5k and save the rest.
Take cash, spend 5K in system, keep rest.
And then buy a second 6950 and a 128Gb Crucial M4(first thing on my list of upgrades)and the Roccat Isku cause i am pretty happy :D with the performance of my current PC :)
$10K and you would just get a second 6950? You are doing it wrong.
Nope cause one is enough for me...so 6950 Cf would be great. (which preforms not much less then a GTX580 SLI)
Take the cash, its the smart move. Take the cash spend 2-5k on a new computer system(s) that is sure to annoy the piss out of the ppl living in the apartments around me. Then save the rest for all those little things in life that need to be paid.
@rickymon hehehe
Cash, the only way I could justify a 10K PC is dual Xeons and a Quadro 6000, but since I don't need those, that would be a huge waste.
Cash OF COURSE....!
Imagine how many 3Dgameman t-shirts I could buy...!
Take the cash, spend $5000 on the pc and keep the rest.

The quest for state tournament glory commences today for 16 Times' area baseball teams.
Highlighting the opening round of the NJSIAA state tournament are three intriguing matchups between local teams, led by the Group IV Central showdown between top-seeded Montgomery (19-4) and No. 16 seed WW-P South (16-8).
The Pirates, who were 8-7 after 15 games have won eight of their last nine games and will send out ace Paul Balestrieri to the hill. The Cornell-bound righthander has been dominant this season, compiling a 6-0 mark with a 1.09 ERA in 45 innings. He's issued just 12 walks against 48 strikeouts.
The Cougars will counter with ace southpaw Chris Bumstead, who has allowed just five earned runs in 391⁄3 innings (0.89 ERA) and is 5-1. He has struck out 22 and walked just eight.
"It means nothing, honestly," Montgomery head coach Pete Mueller said of the seedings. "They have a stud arm (in Balestrieri) and we've been around long enough to know that anything can happen. I've taken one seeds into the tournament and we've gotten smoked in the first game and I've taken No. 12 seeds into the tournament and we've made a big run. It really depends on who you're seeing, whether your team locked in and whether their pitcher locked in.
''You have to catch some breaks and you have to make some breaks. I don't take any stock in the fact that we're playing a No. 16 seed. We're going to treat them like we're playing a No. 1 seed. We know they're going to be tough and we know we're going to have a challenge on our hands."
No. 7 Steinert (16-7) will look to make a run for its first sectional title since 2007 when it plays host to No. 10 Sayreville (15-7) in a loaded Group IV Central bracket.
"It's brutal," Mueller said of the depth and talent in Group IV Central. "You have phenomenal athletes for one and just really tough kids. You mix that altogether and there's no safe game.
"I haven't really analyzed the other sections but it has to be up there in terms of depth and competitiveness. There's no day off. If you don't bring it you'll get beaten and you'll get beaten soundly. We know its not going to be an easy trip."
Another matchup of local teams that's garnering plenty of interest will pit No. 9 seed Hightstown (11-7) against No. 8 seed Hopewell Valley (13-11) at 7 p.m. at Fred Walters Field at Moody Park in the opening round of Group III Central.
Brennan Lytle went 2-for-2 with four RBIs and Jono Govantes and Brodie Catherina each had two hits and an RBI as the Bulldogs prevailed over the Rams, 10-7, on April 19.
The two teams' fortunes have changed quite a bit since that initial meeting as Hopewell has lost eight of its last 12 games since a 9-3 start while Hightstown has won six of its last nine games, with wins over Notre Dame and Hamilton following a 5-4 start.
The third meeting between locals will take place in Burlington County where top-seeded Northern Burlington (18-3) will host No. 16 seed Nottingham (5-17). While it doesn't have quite the cache as the other No. 16 vs. No. 1 matchup of local teams, the Northstars' chances of pulling off an upset improve dramatically with ace Franco Esposito on the hill.
No. 7 Allentown (13-8) will host No. 10 Colts Neck (10-10) and No. 3 Hamilton (17-6) will host No. 14 Ocean Township (12-13) also in Group III Central action. No. 12 Lawrence (8-11) will travel to No. 5 Jackson Liberty (15-7) to round out the local contingent in what appears to be a wide open Group III Central.
"Even last year I believe the top five seeds all got knocked out," Hamilton head coach Mark Pienciak said.
"It's absolutely wide open, which is fun. You like a little bit of parity like that. We're excited."
No. 12 South Hunterdon (6-12) will travel to No. 5 Point Pleasant Beach (10-8) at 2 p.m. to kick off the action in Group I Central. Two-time defending sectional champion Florence (8-7), the No. 7 seed, will host No. 10 Keyport (8-11) and No. 2 New Egypt (15-5) will host No. 15 Henry Hudson (7-9) in beginning its quest for the first sectional title in program history.
Bordentown (11-9) is the top seed in Group II Central and will host No. 16 Hillside (10-10) in Group II Central.
Two other local clubs, No. 4 Robbinsville (11-9) and No. 7 Ewing (7-12) will look to make runs after uneven regular seasons when they host No. 13 North Plainfield (7-12) and No. 10 Carteret (7-18), respectively.
The quarterfinal round of the state tournament is slated for Thursday while Notre Dame (17-4) kicks off action in Non-Public, South A against St. Joe's (Metuchen) (12-13) Friday afternoon at 4 at home.
