The Cover of J. Cole's "Cole World: The Sideline Story"
Newcomer J. Cole has beginner's luck on the Billboard 200
Five other acts are set to join Cole in the Top 10
Rapper J. Cole is poised to explode onto the Billboard 200 next week as one of six artists premiering in the top 10.
Cole's major label debut, "Cole World: the Sideline Story," which follows his two mixtapes and an appearance on Jay-Z's "The Blueprint 3," has a commanding lead of around 100,000 units over Blink-182's "Neighborhoods," and is on track to sell up to 250,000, according to Hits Daily Double.
Four slots under Blink, Wilco's new set, "The Whole Land," should make its mark. Then the last three spots in the top 10 are reserved for debuting rockers: Switchfoot's "Vice Verses" seems good for No. 8 with sales of up to 50,000; Chickenfoot's "Chickenfoot lll" should come in at No. 9 and Mastadon lumbers on the chart at No. 10, as "The Hunter" snares sales of between 35,000-40,000.
This week's No. 1, Tony Bennett's "Duets," looks like it will slip to No. 4 with a still robust 80,000-90,000 in sales, edged out of the No. 3 spot by Adele's "21."
Other Top 10 vets include Lady Antebellum's "Own the Night," at No. 5 and Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV," at No. 7.

Find out how much of this scent to use
with our
Fragrance Calculator
Green Tea: Long prized in Asian countries for its health benefits, Green Tea is also very favored as a scent. Many of this year's most popular perfumes have a green tea base. Ours is a true-to-scent fragrance oil. This works great in CP soap but has a tendency to cause soda ash.
This fragrance is phthalate free.
Flashpoint: This medium-flashpoint oil (199ºF) cannot ship via USPS regardless of the shipping method you choose at checkout.
Photo Attribution © Can Stock Photo
I use this in my Alice in Wonderland themed soaps blended with rose scent & it is one of my best sellers amongst both men & women, in fact it is my fiancé's favorite.
This is a nice, fresh scent that pairs well with ginger and bamboo scents. It does not exactly replicate green tea. This oil has good staying power and makes wonderful smelling lotion bars.
I love tea. I REALLY love tea. So I was excited to get this in the mail. I was hoping for a deep, grassy, earthy aroma that comes from Sencha and takes me back to a warm cuppa. That is not what I got. In the bottle, it smells absolutely nothing like green tea. I get a big nose full of pepper and something sweet, but no grassy notes whatsoever. LET DOWN! I tried it in some MP before I committed to CP and it was still sad. I bit the bullet and made a 2 lbs. CP loaf and the smell was still off. I worried that I'd have to figure out a new name for this scent because I could not market it as "Green Tea".
Well, after about 4 weeks of curing, all that terrible smell has gone. My soap actually smells like green tea. A weak cup, but still! TEA! Not as grassy as I would like, kind of reminiscent of green tea sweets and matcha frappuccinos. Slighly sweet but still tea. I can't tell you how happy I am that this worked out! Will definitely be one of my regulars!
I made a 2 1/2 lb batch of cold process soap and used 1 oz of fragrance oil. I usually use more fragrance oil for this amount of soap, however I did not need it. The soap turned out nice and mild, just the way I wanted it.
I don't know what it is with green tea, but most companies make "Green Tea" FO smell like a flower bouquet. So I was really, REALLY happy when I got my bottle, opened it, and smelled a dry, bitter, slightly smokey scent. I picked out a tart note, which I'm not a huge fan of, but I'm pretty sure I can mellow it out once it's added to my lotions. I wouldn't call it true-to-scent, as it's missing the grassy, green notes of a freshly brewed Sencha tea... but it's pretty darned close! I look forward to ordering this again!
We're a friendly group who love social media. See you 'round the web!

Gohmert: Pro-gay marriage judges 'need some basic plumbing lessons'
Conservative congressman: Louie Gohmert: and Rep.: Michelle Bachmannturned a question about recent federal court gay marriage rulings into a clinic on constitutional law Wednesday — as well as a grade-school lesson on human biology.
Gohmert and Bachmann were speaking with Rep. Steve King, R-La., at the Conversations With Conservatives event sponsored by the Heritage Foundation in Washington.
U.S. Reps. Steve King, left, Michelle Bachmann, and Louie Gohmert.
"They need some basic: plumbing lessons," joked Gohmert, R-Texas, after noting that some courts had found no "biological evidence to support marriage being between a man and a woman."
More seriously, he said the Supreme Court's gay marriage ruling of last June made it clear it was not a matter for the federal government.
"The Supreme Court said this was a matter for the states to decide," he said.
"We've got to get back to real law and order, and that includes by judges not becoming God … We've got to get the law back in the hands of the states, where it was originally intended in a federal Republic."
Bachmann, R-Minnesota, said the gay marriage issue's continued volleying around federal courts was symptomatic of the "lawless" legacy the Obama administration will leave.
When the president declared at the outset of his term that he considered the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, passed by a bipartisan Congress and signed by a Democratic predecessor constitutional and that he would not enforce it, he set the tone for the controversy roiling the courts.
"He announced to the nation he wasn't going to faithfully executive the laws of the land. And what's interesting is that essentially you have judges citing an unconstitutional act of the president as precedent for their lawless decision of activism."
As an example, she said that same kind of rule by presidential fiat is what's playing out now with Obamacare, as regulations are waived and deadlines moved to suit the expedience of the moment.
The law, she said, "is "whatever a president says at a press conference, or a tweet, or whatever some bureaucrat says. When you do that, you have a legal constitutional anarchy.
"My opinion is, the legacy of Barack Obama will be the establishment of lawlessness in the United States. And that doesn't portend well for the future of the United States."
Check out the audio here. The gay marriage discussion starts about the 2:25 mark.

Art School in a Can
So youre the next Rembrandt, but you know absolutely squat about pimping your magnum opus to the kingpins of the world? Thats a quandary which, if left untreated, could pigeonhole even the most brilliant artisans of acrylic in a dead-end beat like (shudder) comic book inker. Conveniently, art consultant Ed Weber is hosting an Artist Lecture Series designed to steer budding artists toward a future unplagued by hard times or watercolors collecting dust in the garage.
For his seminar, Weber unmasks the oft-bewildering realm of commercial art, endowing attendees with the know-how to market those treasured paintings to galleries, and to ensure theyre mass-reproduced on the best substrate. Other topics include the difference between lithographs, limited editions, and serigraphs; the perils of self-representation; a clayboard vs. canvas comparison; and the most crucial lifeline, how to avoid a coronary by opting for cheap Giclee printing. Its a cutthroat biz out there, so huddle ´round the worldly art vet tonight from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Léche Vitrines Art Alliance (3038 . Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale). Seats cost $25 but are limited, so RSVP by August 24. Call 954-563-5658, or email email@example.com to reserve.
Mon., Aug. 27, 7:30 p.m.

Hi Brenda
My name is Richard Morton and i am a great grandson of James Nicolas Morton who you have taken a picture of his grave at Black Jack Cemetery. His wife was Martha "Mattie" Morris Morton who died in 1897. I was wondering if you could see if her grave is next to his in the same cemetary. I am coming down there from St. Louis on the 13th and would like to visit her grave. But i need to know that she is there. Is there a possibility you can help me out. Thanks

Honey Grove Cemetery
Hello Brenda: You have added a very nice photo of Oakwood Cemetery in Fannin Co. Texas.
I am trying to locate an old burial which ancestors' family recorded, "Buried in Honey Grove Cemetery, Fannin Texas"
Could you tell me if these are one in the same or if Honey Grove Cemetery designation is an older section of Oakwood, or if it has morphed, what ever...I'm confused with the several listings & same photo [or in one case, no cemetery photo.] Any help appreciated!
Thank you ~Shirleen [history4sure]

We are trying to buy a house and had a radon test done. It came back with a level of 10 (should be under 4). I've done some internet research (waiting to hear back from a professional radon contractor), and it sounds to me like it's not too expensive (on the high side should be under 2K) and is fairly reliable. But DH says he's looking into it, and he's seeing costs of over 10K, and that it still won't necessarily be safe. What is with the discrepancy? When he gets home we can look together and see what we find, but we are on a short timeline here (need to decide in 2 days if we want to keep going or walk away), and since it's Friday, if I need to line up someone to come do an estimate, I'll probably have to do it before he gets home. Has anyone had experience with this? Can anyone point me towards odds of the mitigation failing? Why are we finding such complete opposite information?? (OK, I don't really expect anyone to be able that last one ). Help!
I've never had to deal with problems, and was told by the installer, that they truly rarely fail. It's basically a fan that sucks up air, so not a lot of parts. If the fan stops blowing it's time for a new fan. But not much else that can go wrong.
Speaking of fans, it's really nice to have a system in as it will help with moisture in the basement.
The only failure my installer dealt with was with an older lady that reported the problem because her basement smelled different.
Hope this wasn't too late
Thank you for the information! We went ahead and decided to go through with the sale. Turns out DH's concern is the usual - not that he's found a lot of info that it doesn't work, but that if a procedure has 5 failures out of 100,000, one of those 5 will happen to him (to be fair, he's had that happen to him an awful lot). We decided we'll risk the odds, and just hope for the best. The level wasn't too high (and we still don't know how well the home owners followed the testing rules - keeping the house closed up, plus there was rain and major barometric pressure changes during the test, so it could definitely be off), so if by chance it doesn't work the first time and we have to confine ourselves to the top floor for a while as it gets sorted out (or go crash w/ our parents for a bit) it'll be worth it in the end.
Now back to being excited about our awesome new home!

Key Findings from the Spring 2016 Merrill Edge Report
On April 18, 2016, Bank of America released the spring 2016 Merrill Edge Report, a biannual study that offers an in-depth perspective at the financial concerns, priorities and behaviors of mass affluent. Findings include:
Millennials Reshaping Retirement Path
Millennials view retirement as a time full of possibilities
This year, survey data revealed millennials' perspective on their later years and financial planning hints at a possible redefining of retirement. Nearly half (41 percent) of the generation surveyed expects to retire when they hit a certain financial milestone or savings goal, different from older generations that leave or plan to leave the workplace at a certain age or due to health concerns.
Fifty-three percent of millennials view retirement as the start of something exciting; compared to retirees, 21 percent of millennials view retirement as a time for new opportunities as opposed to a time for rest and relaxation:
In addition, millennials are aware of changes that can affect their retirement, with 47 percent believing the outcome of the 2016 presidential election will have a positive impact on their long-term financial goals, higher than any other generation.
Savings Shortcomings
Retirement takes the backseat as many focus on short-term priorities
Despite millennials' focus on goal-oriented financial futures, many admit they could be more proactive in personal savings, on par with the general sentiment of Americans overall. Nearly half (48 percent) of Americans say they are most insecure about some aspect of their finances.
Twenty-one percent of Americans rank retirement savings as their top insecurity, ahead of their personal relationships (10 percent), judgment of others (6 percent) and career path (4 percent).
However, despite strong insecurities, Americans seem to be struggling to prioritize retirement savings. When survey participants were asked to grade themselves on retirement planning thus far, 38 percent awarded themselves a grade of "C" or lower and only 18 percent gave themselves a score of an "A."
Retirement Realities
Retirees' responses conflict with millennial expectations
These savings shortfalls may be indicative of the retirement today's retirees are living. When asked what they have done in retirement that they didn't expect, 30 percent of retiree's stated they spent more money than anticipated, followed by 19 percent moving to a new location and 18 percent feeling a lack of purpose.
Furthermore, when comparing the priorities of current retirees and the millennial generation, the reality of retirement paints a different picture than expected. Twenty-nine percent of retirees rank maintaining their standard of living as a top priority, followed by spending time with loved ones at 27 percent and maintaining their health at 23 percent. To put this into perspective, 19 percent of non-retirees plan to make traveling the world a top priority, while only 5 percent of retirees have actually prioritized traveling.
Although non-retirees and millennials have big plans for retirement, continued savings challenges and unexpected economic variables may pose a threat.
Merrill Edge Report Methodology
Braun Research, Inc. conducted a nationally representative telephone survey on behalf of Merrill Edge. The survey was conducted from February 12 through March 1, 2016, and consisted of 1,003 mass affluent respondents throughout the U.S., defined as individuals with investable assets (value of all cash, savings, mutual funds, CDs, IRAs, stock, bonds and all other types of investments excluding primary home and other real estate investments). Respondents in the study were defined as aged 18 to 34 (millennials) with investable assets between $50,000 and $250,000 or those aged 18 to 34 who have investable assets between $20,000 and $50,000 with an annual income of at least $50,000; or aged 35-plus with investable assets between $50,000 and $250,000. We conducted an oversampling of 300 mass affluents in the following markets: San Francisco; Los Angeles; Orange County, California; Dallas; New Jersey; South Florida; Chicago; Atlanta; and Phoenix. The margin of error is +/- 3.0 percent for the national sample and about +/- 5.7 percent for the oversample markets, all reported at a 95 percent confidence level.

Greenpeace: Piracy charges remain against 28 activists and 2 journalists, including Australian Alexandra Harris
- From: AAP
- November 02, 2013
GREENPEACE says that, contrary to an earlier statement, Russia has not dropped piracy charges against 28 international activists and 2 journalists.
Investigators filed hooliganism charges against all 30 detainees over the past week, but failed to withdraw the piracy charges, the environmentalist organisation said.
Among those facing charges are Tasmanian Colin Russell and Australian permanent resident Alexandra Harris.
The Russian Investigative Committee said on October 23 that it had converted the piracy charges into hooligan charges.
A woman who picked up the phone at the Committee's press service on Friday refused to elaborate, saying that the agency would not make any further comments.
Greenpeace said that as a result, the 30 detainees stand accused of both piracy and hooliganism, which carry maximum sentences of 15 and 7 years, respectively.
The organisation's executive director Kumi Naidoo said the detainees should be immediately released once the piracy charge is withdrawn because international law prohibits one country from seizing another's vessels in international waters, except in extreme cases such as piracy.
"Allowing states to seize each other's vessels for lesser trumped up charges would be a major threat to international relations and commerce," he said.
Russia seized the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise and detained its multinational crew in September, after activists had attempted to storm an oil rig in the remote Pechora Sea.
The organisation says that oil drilling in the Arctic is irresponsibly dangerous and risks destroying the sensitive environment.
However, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on Friday that Greenpeace themselves had damaged the environment.
"Our country cannot support activities that potentially harm the environment and endanger humans," Mr Medvedev said at a joint press conference with his French counterpart Jean-Marc Ayrault, the Interfax news agency reported.
The prime minister explained that oil platforms were so dangerous that even noble-minded protests against them are irresponsible.
"Nobody has the right to break the laws related to their operation" he argued.
Medvedev promised Ayrault that Russia would handle the case "just and strictly in accordance to law".

Objective: We sought to evaluate a multiplexed massively parallel shotgun sequencing assay for noninvasive trisomy 21 detection using circulating cell-free fetal DNA. Study design: Sample multiplexing and cost-optimized reagents were evaluated as improvements to a noninvasive fetal trisomy 21 detection assay. A total of 480 plasma samples from high-risk pregnant women were employed. Results: In all, 480 prospectively collected samples were obtained from our third-party storage site; 13 of these were removed due to insufficient quantity or quality. Eighteen samples failed prespecified assay quality control parameters. In all, 449 samples remained: 39 trisomy 21 samples were correctly classified; 1 sample was misclassified as trisomy 21. The overall classification showed 100% sensitivity (95% confidence interval, 89100%) and 99.7% specificity (95% confidence interval, 98.599.9%). Conclusion: Extending the scope of previous reports, this study demonstrates that plasma DNA sequencing is a viable method for noninvasive detection of fetal trisomy 21 and warrants clinical validation in a larger multicenter study. © 2011 Mosby, Inc.

Objective: We sought to evaluate performance of a noninvasive prenatal test for fetal trisomy 21 (T21) and trisomy 18 (T18). Study Design: A multicenter cohort study was performed whereby cell-free DNA from maternal plasma was analyzed. Chromosome-selective sequencing on chromosomes 21 and 18 was performed with reporting of an aneuploidy risk (High Risk or Low Risk) for each subject. Results: Of the 81 T21 cases, all were classified as High Risk for T21 and there was 1 false-positive result among the 2888 normal cases, for a sensitivity of 100% (95% confidence interval [CI], 95.5-100%) and a false-positive rate of 0.03% (95% CI, 0.002-0.20%). Of the 38 T18 cases, 37 were classified as High Risk and there were 2 false-positive results among the 2888 normal cases, for a sensitivity of 97.4% (95% CI, 86.5-99.9%) and a false-positive rate of 0.07% (95% CI, 0.02-0.25%). Conclusion: Chromosome-selective sequencing of cell-free DNA and application of an individualized risk algorithm is effective in the detection of fetal T21 and T18. © 2012 Mosby, Inc.

The "great Obstetrical Syndromes" are associated with disorders of deep placentationIvo Brosens | Robert Pijnenborg | Lisbeth Vercruysse | Roberto Romero
Volume 204, Issue 3, March 2011, Pages 193-201
Defective deep placentation has been associated with a spectrum of complications of pregnancy including preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes, late spontaneous abortion, and abruptio placentae. The disease of the placental vascular bed that underpins these complications is commonly investigated with targeted biopsies. In this review, we critically evaluate the biopsy technique to summarize the salient types of defective deep placentation, and propose criteria for the classification of defective deep placentation into 3 types based on the degree of restriction of remodeling and the presence of obstructive lesions in the myometrial segment of the spiral arteries. © 2011 Mosby, Inc.

Objective: To determine whether the use of vaginal progesterone in asymptomatic women with a sonographic short cervix (≤25 mm) in the midtrimester reduces the risk of preterm birth and improves neonatal morbidity and mortality. Study Design: Individual patient data metaanalysis of randomized controlled trials. Results: Five trials of high quality were included with a total of 775 women and 827 infants. Treatment with vaginal progesterone was associated with a significant reduction in the rate of preterm birth <33 weeks (relative risk [RR], 0.58; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.420.80), <35 weeks (RR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.550.88), and <28 weeks (RR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.300.81); respiratory distress syndrome (RR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.300.76); composite neonatal morbidity and mortality (RR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.400.81); birthweight <1500 g (RR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.380.80); admission to neonatal intensive care unit (RR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.590.94); and requirement for mechanical ventilation (RR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.440.98). There were no significant differences between the vaginal progesterone and placebo groups in the rate of adverse maternal events or congenital anomalies. Conclusion: Vaginal progesterone administration to asymptomatic women with a sonographic short cervix reduces the risk of preterm birth and neonatal morbidity and mortality. © 2012 Published by Mosby, Inc.
Noninvasive prenatal testing for fetal trisomies in a routinely screened first-trimester populationKypros H. Nicolaides | Argyro Syngelaki | Ghalia Ashoor | Cahit Birdir | Gisele Touzet
Volume 207, Issue 5, November 2012, Page
Objective: We sought to assess performance of noninvasive prenatal testing for fetal trisomy in a routinely screened first-trimester pregnancy population. Study Design: This was a cohort study of 2049 pregnant women undergoing routine screening for aneuploidies at 11-13 weeks' gestation. Plasma cell-free DNA analysis using chromosome-selective sequencing was used. Laboratory testing on a single plasma sample of 2 mL was carried out blindly and results were provided as risk score (%) for trisomies 21 and 18. Results: Trisomy risk scores were given for 95.1% (1949 of 2049) of cases including all 8 with trisomy 21 and 2 of the 3 with trisomy 18. The trisomy risk score was >99% in the 8 cases of trisomy 21 and 2 of trisomy 18 and <1% in 99.9% (1937 of 1939) of euploid cases. Conclusion: Noninvasive prenatal testing using chromosome-selective sequencing in a routinely screened population identified trisomies 21 and 18 with a false-positive rate of 0.1%. © 2012 Mosby, Inc.
Noninvasive prenatal detection and selective analysis of cell-free DNA obtained from maternal blood: Evaluation for trisomy 21 and trisomy 18Andrew B. Sparks | Craig A. Struble | Eric T. Wang | Ken Song | Arnold Oliphant
Volume 206, Issue 4, April 2012, Page
OBJECTIVE: We sought to develop a novel biochemical assay and algorithm for the prenatal evaluation of risk for fetal trisomy 21 (T21) and trisomy 18 (T18) using cell-free DNA obtained from maternal blood. STUDY DESIGN: We assayed cell-free DNA from a training set and a blinded validation set of pregnant women, comprising 250 disomy, 72 T21, and 16 T18 pregnancies. We used digital analysis of selected regions in combination with a novel algorithm, fetal-fraction optimized risk of trisomy evaluation (FORTE), to determine trisomy risk for each subject. RESULTS: In all, 163/171 subjects in the training set passed quality control criteria. Using a Z statistic, 35/35 T21 cases and 7/7 T18 cases had Z statistic >3 and 120/121 disomic cases had Z statistic <3. FORTE produced an individualized trisomy risk score for each subject, and correctly discriminated all T21 and T18 cases from disomic cases. All 167 subjects in the blinded validation set passed quality control and FORTE performance matched that observed in the training set correctly discriminating 36/36 T21 cases and 8/8 T18 cases from 123/123 disomic cases. CONCLUSION: Digital analysis of selected regions and FORTE enable accurate, scalable noninvasive fetal aneuploidy detection. © 2012 Mosby, Inc.
Chromosome-selective sequencing of maternal plasma cell-free DNA for first-trimester detection of trisomy 21 and trisomy 18Ghalia Ashoor | Argyro Syngelaki | Marion Wagner | Cahit Birdir | Kypros H. Nicolaides
Volume 206, Issue 4, April 2012, Page
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the prenatal detection rate of trisomy 21 and 18 and the false-positive rate by chromosome-selective sequencing of maternal plasma cell-free DNA. STUDY DESIGN: Nested case-control study of cell-free DNA was examined in plasma that was obtained at 11-13 weeks before chorionic villous sampling from 300 euploid pregnancies, 50 pregnancies with trisomy 21, and 50 pregnancies with trisomy 18. Laboratory personnel were blinded to fetal karyotype. RESULTS: Risk scores for trisomy 21 and 18 were given for 397 of the 400 samples that were analyzed. In all 50 cases of trisomy 21, the risk score for trisomy 21 was <99%, and the risk score for trisomy 18 was ≤0.01%. In all 50 cases of trisomy 18, the risk score for trisomy 21 was ≤0.01%, and the risk score for trisomy 18 was <99% in 47 cases, 98.8% in 1 case, 88.5% in 1 case, and 0.11% in 1 case. In 3 of the 300 euploid pregnancies (1%), no risk score was provided, because there was failed amplification and sequencing. In the remaining 297 cases, the risk score for trisomy 21 was ≤0.01%, and the risk score for trisomy 18 was ≤0.01% in 295 cases, 0.04% in 1 case, and 0.23% in 1 case. Therefore, the sensitivity for detecting trisomy 21 was 100% (50/50 cases); the sensitivity for trisomy 18 was 98% (49/50 cases), and the specificity was 100% (297/297 cases). CONCLUSION: In this study, chromosome-selective sequencing of cell-free DNA separated all cases of trisomy 21 and 98% of trisomy 18 from euploid pregnancies. © 2012 Mosby, Inc.
Medication use during pregnancy, with particular focus on prescription drugs: 1976-2008Allen A. Mitchell | Suzanne M. Gilboa | Martha M. Werler | Katherine E. Kelley | Carol Louik | Sonia Hernández-Díaz
Volume 205, Issue 1, July 2011, Page
Objective: The objective of the study was to provide information on overall medication use throughout pregnancy, with particular focus on the first trimester and specific prescription medications. Study Design: The study design included the Slone Epidemiology Center Birth Defects Study, 1976-2008, and the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, 1997-2003, which together interviewed more than 30,000 women about their antenatal medication use. Results: Over the last 3 decades, first-trimester use of prescription medication increased by more than 60%, and the use of 4 or more medications more than tripled. By 2008, approximately 50% of women reported taking at least 1 medication. Use of some specific medications markedly decreased or increased. Prescription medication use increased with maternal age and education, was highest for non-Hispanic whites, and varied by state. Conclusion: These data reflect the widespread and growing use of medications by pregnant women and reinforce the need to study their respective fetal risks and safety. © 2011 Published by Mosby, Inc.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to estimate the total annual societal cost of uterine fibroid tumors in the United States, based on direct and indirect costs that include associated obstetric complications. Study Design: A systematic review of the literature was conducted to estimate the number of women who seek treatment for symptomatic fibroid tumors annually, the costs of medical and surgical treatment, the amount of work time lost, and obstetric complications that are attributable to fibroid tumors. Total annual costs were converted to 2010 US dollars. A sensitivity analysis was performed. Results: The estimated annual direct costs (surgery, hospital admissions, outpatient visits, and medications) were $4.1-9.4 billion. Estimated lost work-hour costs ranged from $1.5517.2 billion annually. Obstetric outcomes that were attributed to fibroid tumors resulted in a cost of $238 million to $7.76 billion annually. Uterine fibroid tumors were estimated to cost the United States $5.9-34.4 billion annually. Conclusion: Obstetric complications that are associated with fibroid tumors contributed significantly to their economic burden. Lost work-hour costs may account for the largest proportion of societal costs because of fibroid tumors. © 2012 Mosby, Inc.
Intrauterine growth restriction: New concepts in antenatal surveillance, diagnosis, and managementFrancesc Figueras | Jason Gardosi
Volume 204, Issue 4, April 2011, Pages 288-300
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) remains one of the main challenges in maternity care. Improvements have to start from a better definition of IUGR, applying the concept of the fetal growth potential. Customized standards for fetal growth and birthweight improve the detection of IUGR by better distinction between physiological and pathological smallness and have led to internationally applicable norms. Such developments have resulted in new insights in the assessment of risk and surveillance during pregnancy. Serial fundal height measurement plotted on customized charts is a useful screening tool, whereas fetal biometry and Doppler flow are the mainstay for investigation and diagnosis of IUGR. Appropriate protocols based on available evidence as well as individualized clinical assessment are essential to ensure good management and timely delivery. © 2011 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.
Maternal treatment with opioid analgesics and risk for birth defectsCheryl S. Broussard | Sonja A. Rasmussen | Jennita Reefhuis | Jan M. Friedman | Michael W. Jann | Tiffany Riehle-Colarusso | Margaret A. Honein

Objective: We examined whether maternal opioid treatment between 1 month before pregnancy and the first trimester was associated with birth defects. Study Design: The National Birth Defects Prevention Study (1997 through 2005) is an ongoing population-based case-control study. We estimated adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIS) for birth defects categories with at least 200 case infants or at least 4 exposed case infants. Results: Therapeutic opioid use was reported by 2.6% of 17,449 case mothers and 2.0% of 6701 control mothers. Treatment was statistically significantly associated with conoventricular septal defects (OR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.16.3), atrioventricular septal defects (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.23.6), hypoplastic left heart syndrome (OR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.44.1), spina bifida (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.33.2), or gastroschisis (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.12.9) in infants. Conclusion: Consistent with some previous investigations, our study shows an association between early pregnancy maternal opioid analgesic treatment and certain birth defects. This information should be considered by women and their physicians who are making treatment decisions during pregnancy. © 2011 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.
Is it time to revisit the Pedersen hypothesis in the face of the obesity epidemic?Patrick M. Catalano | Sylvie Hauguel-De Mouzon
Volume 204, Issue 6, June 2011, Pages 479-487
The Pedersen hypothesis was formulated more than 50 years ago. Jorgen Pedersen primarily cared for women with type 1 diabetes. He suggested that fetal overgrowth was related to increased transplacental transfer of glucose, stimulating the release of insulin by the fetal beta cell and subsequent macrosomia. Optimal maternal glucose control decreased perinatal mortality and morbidity. However, over the ensuing decades, there have been increases in maternal obesity and subsequently gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and type 2 diabetes. The underlying pathophysiology of type 1 and GDM/type 2 diabetes are fundamentally different, type 1 diabetes being primarily a disorder of beta cell failure and type 2 diabetes/GDM including both insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction. As such the metabolic milieu in which the developing fetus is exposed may be quite different in type 1 diabetes and obesity. In this review we examine the metabolic environment of obese diabetic women and lipid metabolism affecting fetal adiposity. The importance of understanding these issues relates to the increasing trends of obesity worldwide with perinatal programming of metabolic dysfunction in the offspring. © 2011 Mosby, Inc.
Posttreatment surveillance and diagnosis of recurrence in women with gynecologic malignancies: Society of Gynecologic Oncologists recommendationsRitu Salani | Floor J. Backes | Michael Fung Kee Fung | Christine H. Holschneider | Lynn P. Parker | Robert E. Bristow | Barbara A. Goff
Volume 204, Issue 6, June 2011, Pages 466-478
Although gynecologic cancers account for only 10% of all new cancer cases in women, these cancers account for 20% of all female cancer survivors. Improvements in cancer care have resulted in almost 10 million cancer survivors, and this number is expected to grow. Therefore, determining the most cost-effective clinical surveillance for detection of recurrence is critical. Unfortunately, there has been a paucity of research in what are the most cost-effective strategies for surveillance once patients have achieved a complete response. Currently, most recommendations are based on retrospective studies and expert opinion. Taking a thorough history, performing a thorough examination, and educating cancer survivors about concerning symptoms is the most effective method for the detection of most gynecologic cancer recurrences. There is very little evidence that routine cytologic procedures or imaging improves the ability to detect gynecologic cancer recurrence at a stage that will impact cure or response rates to salvage therapy. This article will review the most recent data on surveillance for gynecologic cancer recurrence in women who have had a complete response to primary cancer therapy. © 2011 Mosby, Inc.
Impact of maternal immunization on influenza hospitalizations in infantsKatherine A. Poehling | Peter G. Szilagyi | Mary A. Staat | Beverly M. Snively | Daniel C. Payne | Carolyn B. Bridges | Susan Y. Chu | Laney S. Light | Mila M. Prill | Lyn Finelli | Marie R. Griffin | Kathryn M. Edwards

We sought to determine whether maternal vaccination during pregnancy was associated with a reduced risk of laboratory-confirmed influenza hospitalizations in infants <6 months old. Active population-based, laboratory-confirmed influenza surveillance was conducted in children hospitalized with fever and/or respiratory symptoms in 3 US counties from November through April during the 2002 through 2009 influenza seasons. The exposure, influenza vaccination during pregnancy, and the outcome, positive/negative influenza testing among their hospitalized infants, were compared using logistic regression analyses. Among 1510 hospitalized infants <6 months old, 151 (10%) had laboratory-confirmed influenza and 294 (19%) mothers reported receiving influenza vaccine during pregnancy. Eighteen (12%) mothers of influenza-positive infants and 276 (20%) mothers of influenza-negative infants were vaccinated (unadjusted odds ratio, 0.53; 95% confidence interval, 0.320.88 and adjusted odds ratio, 0.52; 95% confidence interval, 0.300.91). Infants of vaccinated mothers were 45-48% less likely to have influenza hospitalizations than infants of unvaccinated mothers. Our results support the current influenza vaccination recommendation for pregnant women. © 2011 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.
Progesterone and preterm birth prevention: Translating clinical trials data into clinical practiceVincenzo Berghella
Volume 206, Issue 5, May 2012, Pages 376-386
Objective: We sought to provide evidence-based guidelines for using progestogens for the prevention of preterm birth (PTB). Methods: Relevant documents, in particular randomized trials, were identified using PubMed (US National Library of Medicine, 1983 through February 2012) publications, written in English, which evaluate the effectiveness of progestogens for prevention of PTB. Progestogens evaluated were, in particular, vaginal progesterone and 17-alpha-hydroxy-progesterone caproate. Additionally, the Cochrane Library, organizational guidelines, and studies identified through review of the above were utilized to identify relevant articles. Data were evaluated according to population studied, with separate analyses for singleton vs multiple gestations, prior PTB, or short transvaginal ultrasound cervical length (CL), and combinations of these factors. Consistent with US Preventive Task Force suggestions, references were evaluated for quality based on the highest level of evidence, and recommendations were graded. Results and Recommendations: Summary of randomized studies indicates that in women with singleton gestations, no prior PTB, and short CL ≤20 mm at ≤24 weeks, vaginal progesterone, either 90-mg gel or 200-mg suppository, is associated with reduction in PTB and perinatal morbidity and mortality, and can be offered in these cases. The issue of universal CL screening of singleton gestations without prior PTB for the prevention of PTB remains an object of debate. CL screening in singleton gestations without prior PTB cannot yet be universally mandated. Nonetheless, implementation of such a screening strategy can be viewed as reasonable, and can be considered by individual practitioners, following strict guidelines. In singleton gestations with prior PTB 20-36 6/7 weeks, 17-alpha-hydroxy- progesterone caproate 250 mg intramuscularly weekly, preferably starting at 16-20 weeks until 36 weeks, is recommended. In these women with prior PTB, if the transvaginal ultrasound CL shortens to <25 mm at <24 weeks, cervical cerclage may be offered. Progestogens have not been associated with prevention of PTB in women who have in the current pregnancy multiple gestations, preterm labor, or preterm premature rupture of membranes. There is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of progestogens in women with any of these risk factors, with or without a short CL. © 2012 Mosby, Inc.
Unforeseen consequences of the increasing rate of cesarean deliveries: Early placenta accreta and cesarean scar pregnancy. A reviewIlan E. Timor-Tritsch | Ana Monteagudo
Volume 207, Issue 1, July 2012, Pages 14-29
This review concentrates on 2 consequences of cesarean deliveries that may occur in a subsequent pregnancy. They are the pathologically adherent placenta and the cesarean scar pregnancy. We explored their clinical and diagnostic as well as therapeutic similarities. We reviewed the literature concerning the occurrence of early placenta accreta and cesarean section scar pregnancy. The review resulted in several conclusions: (1) the diagnosis of placenta accreta and cesarean scar pregnancy is difficult; (2) transvaginal ultrasound seems to be the best diagnostic tool to establish the diagnosis; (3) an early and correct diagnosis may prevent some of their complications; (4) curettage and systemic methotrexate therapy and embolization as single treatments should be avoided if possible; and (5) in the case of cesarean scar pregnancy, local methotrexate- and hysteroscopic-directed procedures had the lowest complication rates.
Safe prevention of the primary cesarean delivery This document was developed jointly by the with the assistance ofAaron B. Caughey | Alison G. Cahill | Jeanne Marie Guise | Dwight J. Rouse
Volume 210, Issue 3, March 2014, Pages 179-193
In 2011, 1 in 3 women who gave birth in the United States did so by cesarean delivery. Cesarean birth can be lifesaving for the fetus, the mother, or both in certain cases. However, the rapid increase in cesarean birth rates from 1996 through 2011 without clear evidence of concomitant decreases in maternal or neonatal morbidity or mortality raises significant concern that cesarean delivery is overused. Variation in the rates of nulliparous, term, singleton, vertex cesarean births also indicates that clinical practice patterns affect the number of cesarean births performed. The most common indications for primary cesarean delivery include, in order of frequency, labor dystocia, abnormal or indeterminate (formerly, nonreassuring) fetal heart rate tracing, fetal malpresentation, multiple gestation, and suspected fetal macrosomia. Safe reduction of the rate of primary cesarean deliveries will require different approaches for each of these, as well as other, indications. For example, it may be necessary to revisit the definition of labor dystocia because recent data show that contemporary labor progresses at a rate substantially slower than what was historically taught. Additionally, improved and standardized fetal heart rate interpretation and management may have an effect. Increasing women's access to nonmedical interventions during labor, such as continuous labor and delivery support, also has been shown to reduce cesarean birth rates. External cephalic version for breech presentation and a trial of labor for women with twin gestations when the first twin is in cephalic presentation are other of several examples of interventions that can contribute to the safe lowering of the primary cesarean delivery rate.
Laparoscopic sacral colpopexy versus total vaginal mesh for vaginal vault prolapse: A randomized trialChristopher F. Maher | Benjamin Feiner | Eva M. Decuyper | Cathy J. Nichlos | Kacey V. Hickey | Peter O'Rourke
Volume 204, Issue 4, April 2011, Page
Objective: To compare the laparoscopic sacral colpopexy and total vaginal mesh for vaginal vault prolapse. Study Design: Women with symptomatic stage <2 vault prolapse were randomly allocated the laparoscopic sacral colpopexy (53) or total vaginal mesh (55). Primary outcome measures were objective success rates at pelvic organ prolapse quantification sites individually and collectively. Secondary outcome measures included perioperative outcomes, patient satisfaction, quality of life outcomes, complications, and reoperations. Results: The laparoscopic sacral colpopexy group had a longer operating time, reduced inpatient days, and quicker return to activities of daily living as compared with the total vaginal mesh group. At the 2-year review, the total objective success rate at all vaginal sites was 41 of 53 (77%) for laparoscopic sacral colpopexy as compared with 23 of 55 (43%) in total vaginal mesh (P < .001). Reoperation rate was significantly higher after the vaginal mesh surgery 12 of 55 (22%) as compared with laparoscopic sacral colpopexy 3 of 53 (5%) (P = .006). Conclusion: At 2 years, the laparoscopic sacral colpopexy had a higher satisfaction rate and objective success rate than the total vaginal mesh with lower perioperative morbidity and reoperation rate. © 2011 Published by Mosby, Inc.

Gestational trophoblastic disease II: Classification and management of gestational trophoblastic neoplasiaJohn R. Lurain
Volume 204, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 11-18
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) includes invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor. The overall cure rate in treating these tumors is currently >90%. Thorough evaluation and staging allow selection of appropriate therapy that maximizes chances for cure while minimizing toxicity. Nonmetastatic (stage I) and low-risk metastatic (stages II and III, score <7) GTN can be treated with single-agent chemotherapy resulting in a survival rate approaching 100%. High-risk GTN (stages II-IV, score <7) requires initial multiagent chemotherapy with or without adjuvant radiation and surgery to achieve a survival rate of 80-90%. © 2011 Mosby, Inc.
The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio in different types of hypertensive pregnancy disorders and its prognostic potential in preeclamptic patientsStefan Verlohren | Ignacio Herraiz | Olav Lapaire | Dietmar Schlembach | Manfred Moertl | Harald Zeisler | Pavel Calda | Wolfgang Holzgreve | Alberto Galindo | Theresa Engels | Barbara Denk | Holger Stepan

The soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1)/placental growth factor (PlGF) ratio is a reliable tool in the assessment of preeclampsia. We tested the hypothesis that the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio is able to identify women at risk for imminent delivery. We characterized the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio in different types of hypertensive pregnancy disorders. We investigated 388 singleton pregnancies with normal pregnancy outcome, 164 with PE, 36 with gestational hypertension, and 42 with chronic hypertension. sFlt-1 and PlGF were measured in serum samples. Patients with preeclampsia had a significantly increased sFlt-1/PlGF ratio as compared with controls and with patients with chronic and gestational hypertension in <34 weeks and <34 weeks (P <.001). Time to delivery was significantly reduced in women with preeclampsia in the highest quartile of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio (P <.001). The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio allows the identification of women at risk for imminent delivery and is a reliable tool to discriminate between different types of pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders.
2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) in pregnancy: A systematic review of the literatureLaura G. Mosby | Sonja A. Rasmussen | Denise J. Jamieson
Volume 205, Issue 1, July 2011, Pages 10-18
To summarize the literature regarding 2009 H1N1 influenza A during pregnancy, we conducted a systematic literature review using a PubMed search and other strategies. Studies were included if they reported 2009 H1N1 influenza in pregnant women as original data. In all, 2153 abstracts were reviewed, and a total of 120 studies were included. Data were extracted regarding number of cases, additional risk factors for influenza-associated complications, treatment, and maternal and pregnancy outcomes. Authors were contacted to determine the extent of overlap when it was suspected. Pregnancy was associated with increased risk of hospital and intensive care unit admission and of death. Pregnant women who received delayed treatment with neuraminidase inhibitors or who had additional risk factors were more likely to develop severe disease. Preterm and emergency cesarean deliveries were frequently reported. These results reinforce the importance of early identification and treatment of suspected influenza in this high-risk population. © 2011 Published by Mosby, Inc.
Placental microRNA expression in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsiaDaniel A. Enquobahrie | Dejene F. Abetew | Tanya K. Sorensen | David Willoughby | Kumaravel Chidambaram | Michelle A. Williams
Volume 204, Issue 2, February 2011, Page
Objective The role of posttranscription regulation in preeclampsia is largely unknown. We investigated preeclampsia-related placental microRNA (miRNA) expression using microarray and confirmatory quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction experiments. Study Design Placental expressions of characterized and novel miRNAs (1295 probes) were measured in samples collected from 20 preeclampsia cases and 20 controls. Differential expression was evaluated using Student t test and fold change analyses. In pathway analysis, we examined functions/functional relationships of targets of differentially expressed miRNAs. Results Eight miRNAs were differentially expressed (1 up-regulated and 7 down-regulated) among preeclampsia cases compared with controls. These included previously identified candidates (miR-210, miR-1, and a miRNA in the 14q32.31 cluster region) and others that are novel (miR-584 and miR-34c-5p). These miRNAs target genes that participate in organ/system development (cardiovascular and reproductive system), immunologic dysfunction, cell adhesion, cell cycle, and signaling. Conclusion Expression of miRNAs that target genes in diverse pathophysiological processes is altered in the setting of preeclampsia. © 2011 Mosby, Inc.
A systematic review of severe morbidity in infants born late pretermMargreet J. Teune | Sabine Bakhuizen | Cynthia Gyamfi Bannerman | Brent C. Opmeer | Anton H. Van Kaam | Aleid G. Van Wassenaer | Jonathan M. Morris | Ben Willen J Mol
Volume 205, Issue 4, October 2011, Page
OBJECTIVE: Late-preterm infants (34 weeks 0/7 days-36 weeks 6/7 days' gestation) represent the largest proportion of singleton preterm births. A systematic review was performed to access the short- and/or long-term morbidity of late-preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN: An electronic search was conducted for cohort studies published from January 2000 through July 2010. RESULTS: We identified 22 studies studying 29,375,675 infants. Compared with infants born at term, infants born late preterm were more likely to suffer poorer short-term outcomes such as respiratory distress syndrome (relative risk [RR], 17.3), intraventricular hemorrhage (RR, 4.9), and death <28 days (RR, 5.9). Beyond the neonatal period, latepreterm infants were more likely to die in the first year (RR, 3.7) and to suffer from cerebral palsy (RR, 3.1). CONCLUSION: Although the absolute incidence of neonatal mortality and morbidity in infants born late preterm is low, its incidence is significantly increased as compared with infants born at term. © 2011 Published by Mosby, Inc.
Incidence of preeclampsia: Risk factors and outcomes associated with early-versus late-onset diseaseSarka Lisonkova | K. S. Joseph
Volume 209, Issue 6, December 2013, Page
Objective The population-based incidence of early-onset (<34 weeks) and late-onset preeclampsia (≥34 weeks) has not been adequately studied. We examined the gestational age-specific incidence of preeclampsia onset and identified the associated risk factors and birth outcomes. Study Design All singleton deliveries in Washington State, 2003-2008 (n = 456,668), were included, and preeclampsia onset was determined from hospital records linked to birth certificates. Cox and logistic regression models were used to obtain adjusted hazard ratios and odds ratios (AORs) for risk factors and birth outcomes, respectively. Results The overall preeclampsia rate was 3.1% and the incidence increased sharply with gestation; early- and late-onset preeclampsia rates were 0.38% and 2.72%, respectively. Among women with early-onset preeclampsia, 12% delivered at a gestation of 34 weeks or longer. Risk/protective factors common to both diseases included older maternal age, Hispanic and Native-American race, smoking, unmarried status, and male fetus. African-American race, chronic hypertension, and congenital anomalies were more strongly associated with early-onset preeclampsia, whereas younger maternal age, nulliparity, and diabetes mellitus were more strongly associated with late-onset disease. Early- but not late-onset preeclampsia conferred a high risk of fetal death (AOR, 5.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.0-8.3 vs AOR, 1.3; 95% CI, 0.8-2.0, respectively). The AOR for perinatal death/severe neonatal morbidity was 16.4 (95% CI, 14.5-18.6) in early-onset and 2.0 (95% CI, 1.8-2.3) in late-onset preeclampsia. Conclusion Early- and late-onset preeclampsia shares some etiological features, differ with regard to several risk factors, and lead to different outcomes. The 2 preeclampsia types should be treated as distinct entities from an etiological and prognostic standpoint. © 2013 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.
Evaluation and management of severe preeclampsia before 34 weeks' gestationBaha M. Sibai
Volume 205, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 191-198
Objective: We sought to review the risks and benefits of expectant management of severe preeclampsia remote from term, and to provide recommendations for expectant management, maternal and fetal evaluation, treatment, and indications for delivery. Methods: Studies were identified through a search of the MEDLINE database for relevant peer-reviewed articles published in the English language from January 1980 through December 2010. Additionally, the Cochrane Library, guidelines by organizations, and studies identified through review of the above documents and review articles were utilized to identify relevant articles. Where reliable data were not available, opinions of respected authorities were used. Results and Recommendations: Published randomized trials and observational studies regarding management of severe preeclampsia occurring <34 weeks of gestation suggest that expectant management of selected patients can improve neonatal outcomes but that delivery is often required for worsening maternal or fetal condition. Patients who are not candidates for expectant management include women with eclampsia, pulmonary edema, disseminated intravascular coagulation, renal insufficiency, abruptio placentae, abnormal fetal testing, HELLP syndrome, or persistent symptoms of severe preeclampsia. For women with severe preeclampsia before the limit of viability, expectant management has been associated with frequent maternal morbidity with minimal or no benefits to the newborn. Expectant management of a select group of women with severe preeclampsia occurring <34 weeks' gestation may improve newborn outcomes but requires careful in-hospital maternal and fetal surveillance. © 2011 Mosby, Inc.

Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville and offensive coordinator Neal Brown both commented following Saturday night's 45-40 loss to Texas A&M about a slew of Aggie injuries that slowed the pace of the game.
"Kind of slowed us down a little bit," Tuberville said Saturday. "Kind of interesting they'd go down and come back the next play."
Brown went a step further, saying the injuries were a factor working against Tech. He said it was "kind of ironic how they would have these bad injuries and then they would be back two plays later."
