In the garden
Community gardens
Would you like to have a vegetable garden but don't think it's possible this year?
A lack of space, experience or resources such as tools or money to buy seeds and bedding plants doesn't need to stand in your way. Applications for Gardens Growing Families, a community garden program for county residents, are now being accepted at the Henrico Extension Office.
Individuals or families who participate in the program receive expert help, free classes, tools, and water for irrigation as well as space to grow a garden for a fee of $5 to $65 a year, based on household income, the number of gardeners per family, and garden plot size. Garden plots are either 15 feet by 20 feet or 15 feet by 10 feet, and gardeners can rent up to two plots.
"Gardens Growing Families is designed to get people gardening, harvesting, preparing and storing nutritious food," said Lisa Sanderson, Henrico Extension Agent.
"And, just as important as producing food, gardening together can help build families," added Sanderson. "Families who garden together. To me, that's the most important part."
Garden plots are available in the Alma Avenue Island Garden near Alma and Laburnum Avenues and in Highland Springs at the corner of West Jerald Street and South Holly Avenue. The 34 plots at the Lakeside Garden have already been taken.
"We started in 2008," said Sanderson, "And some of the original families are still with us!"
In a survey, almost all past participants said their family's diet improved, and three-quarters said they saved money at the grocery store. "One man, who had two plots and gardened year-round, said he had saved almost $700," said Sanderson.
The plots are available to participants from the first of April to the end of March. "You really can grow things to eat here all year long," said Sanderson. "You have to like cabbage, and you have to plan, but you can do it!"
Participants maintain their gardens using only organic methods, which means no pesticides or herbicides in the gardens.
A demonstration plot is maintained by Henrico Master Gardeners, who are often on hand at the gardens to answer questions. "It's the first experience for some," said Sanderson, "so we encourage people to ask questions."
A free seminar for participants will be held Saturday, April 7 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Henrico Demonstration Kitchen on Dixon Powers Drive. Topics include "Getting Started," "Growing More," and "Expanding Your Food Palette and Preparing Foods." Programs for kids ages 5-13 will also be held that day.
"Young people can learn how to garden, see where their food comes from, and learn how to do things with their parents," said Sanderson.
"And remember, food tastes better when you grow it yourself," she added.

West African countries ban Europe's dirty fuel imports 05/12/2016 00:00:00
Mushrooming Cooperation 05/12/2016 00:00:00
L-R: Dr. Binilith Mahenge, President of the AMCEN and Minister of State for Environment, United Republic of Tanzania; Dr. Khaled Fahmy, Minister of Environment of the Arab Republic of Egypt; UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner; H.E. Amb. Mahmoud Talaat, Ambassador Extraordinaire and Plenipotentiary of the Arab Republic of Egypt to the Republic of Kenya and Permanent Representative of the Arab Republic of Egypt to UNEP at the launch of the Adaptation Gap Report.
Cairo, 4 March 2015 - Africa, the continent with warming deviating most rapidly from "normal" conditions, could see climate change adaptation costs rise to US$50 billion per year by 2050, even assuming international efforts keep global warming below 2°C this century, according to a new United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report.
Released at the 15th African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN), Africa's Adaptation Gap builds on UNEP's Emissions Gap Report 2014, which showed that the world is not currently headed in the right direction for holding global warming below 2°C. This latest Africa Adaptation Gap report also builds on UNEP's Global Adaptation Gap Report 2014, which found that adaptation costs in all developing countries together could climb as high as US$250-500 billion per year by 2050.
Produced in collaboration with Climate Analytics and the African Climate Finance Hub, the report says deep global emissions reductions are the best way to head off Africa's crippling adaptation costs. It also finds that the continent's domestic resources are insufficient to respond to projected impacts, but would be important to complement international funding for African countries - including meeting the Cancun climate finance commitments by 2020.
"The accelerating rate of climate change poses great adaptation challenges, of which we have been well forewarned," said UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner. "The best insurance against the many potential negative impacts of climate change is ambitious global mitigation action in the long-run, combined with large-scale and rapidly increasing funding for adaptation. Investing in resilience and adaptation as an integral part of national development planning can develop resilience to future climate change impacts."
Africa's looming climate crisis
Africa is the continent where a rapidly changing climate is expected to deviate earlier than across any other continent from "normal" changes, making adaptation a matter of urgency, the report says.
Warming projections under medium scenarios indicate that extensive areas of Africa will exceed 2°C by the last two decades of this century relative to the late 20th century mean annual temperature. Under a high warming pathway, temperatures could exceed 2°C by mid-century across much of Africa and reach between 3°C and 6°C by the end of the century. This would have a severe impact on agricultural production, food security, human health and water availability.
In a 4˚C world, projections for Africa suggest sea levels could rise faster than the global average and reach 80cm above current levels by 2100 along the Indian and Atlantic Ocean coastlines, with particularly high numbers of people at risk to flooding in the coastal cities of Mozambique, Tanzania, Cameroon, Egypt, Senegal and Morocco.
"This is not just a question of money; millions of people and their livelihoods are at stake," said Binilith Mahenge, President of AMCEN and Tanzania's Minister of State for Environment. "Africa's population will be at an increasing risk of undernourishment due to increasing food demand and the detrimental effects of climate change on agriculture on the continent. Global warming of 2˚C would put over 50 per cent of the African continent's population at risk of undernourishment. Yet, the IPCC showed that without additional mitigation we are heading to 4˚C of warming."
"Rising to the challenge and addressing the systemic harm that climate change may cause in Africa, thus undermining the post-2015 sustainable development agenda, warrants leaving no stone unturned in exploring opportunities for supporting adaptation actions and measures in Africa," he added.
Closing the funding gap
The report explores the extent to which African nations can contribute to closing the adaptation gap - especially in the area of identifying the resources that will be needed.
The evidence suggests that African countries - such as Ghana, Ethiopia and South Africa - are already committing some resources of their own to adaptation efforts. Country-case studies in the report suggest that by 2029/2030, under moderately optimistic growth scenarios, Ghana could for example - based on hypothetical scenarios - commit US$233 million to adaptation financing, Ethiopia US$248 million, South Africa US$961 million and Togo US$18.2 million. However, international funding will be required to bridge the growing adaptation gap even if African nations commit to ways to increase domestic sources. Current levels of international finance, through bilateral and multilateral sources, are not sufficient.
"Because of the magnitude of the challenge, further examination of the potential and the feasibility of mobilizing untapped international, regional and domestic sources should be explored further," said Mr Steiner.
Scaling up international climate finance under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) may lead to sufficient funding for adaptation, but even in that case, implementation can only reach its full potential if complemented by comprehensive and effective national and regional policy planning, capacity-building and governance.
The promotion of an effective enabling framework for private sector participation in adaptation activities would also be a key contributor to closing the funding gap, the report finds.

Quality Healthcare & Workforce Development
By Clay Masters • Mar 18, 2013
Every Iowan should be able to get quality healthcare and find a job, but getting there is the battle. Today on River to River, Governor Branstad and the Democratic controlled Iowa Senate are sparring over how best to insure Iowans. We talk with the Governor's top healthcare policy advisor about the governor's recently unveiled Healthy Iowa plan. In the second half we talk with an economist about job creation in Iowa and hear from a Republican and Democratic lawmaker on bills that could create more jobs.

North Central College was awarded a grant through the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Illinois Food Scrap Composting grants program to begin a composting program in Kaufman Dining Hall.
Receiving this grant is a direct result of last winter's food waste audit, performed by SGA student volunteers to determine the amount of food waste thrown-out by students each day. This audit was the first step in developing a program and provided the data necessary to apply for the grant. Grant money will cover the costs of upgrades to the plate-return area and loading dock at the dining hall to accommodate the new program. The College will be working with a local composting facility, Compost Supply, which generates compost to create a nutrient-rich additive for roof-top garden soils.
Starting Sept. 1, everyone who eats in Kaufman Dining Hall will scrape food waste from their plates into designated bins, rather than place all waste on the rotating plate-return machine. This small change in behavior will make a big impact. Food waste audits estimate that implementing this new practice could prevent nearly 37 tons of food waste each year from being hauled to a landfill or treated at a wastewater facility.

AMD's major hopes for regaining their success as the processor manufacturer are closely connected with the promising K8L micro-architecture that is due to come in the second half of this year (for details see our article called AMD's Next Generation Microarchitecture Preview: from K8 to K8L). So far AMD Athlon 64 X2 processors can only compete with Intel CPUs in the budget and mainstream price range. AMD has been pursuing very aggressive pricing policy for the last few months, offering their dual-core processors at very attractive prices.
However, this doesn't prevent AMD from manufacturing the expensive products for hardware enthusiasts as well, such as the Quad FX platform that we have reviewed recently, which includes Athlon 64 FX-7X processors. Although AMD Quad FX platform lost to the competitor solution from Intel, the quad-core Kentsfield CPU, from almost all standpoints, it proved once again to all users out there, that AMD still bears huge engineering potential.
Today AMD made one more step of similar nature: they announced new dual-core Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor. And although this CPU turns out the today's fastest AMD processors for Socket AM2 systems, we are not expecting it to hit any tremendous heights. The working frequency of the new Athlon 64 X2 6000+ got only 200MHz higher than that of the Athlon 64 FX-62, which loses to top Intel Core 2 processors in almost all the tests. So, the 200MHz seem to be hardly sufficient for successful competition against the today's performance leaders.
Therefore, the new AMD announcement is primarily curious from the technological rather than performance standpoint, as the company managed to increase the working frequency of its mass 90nm processors with K8 micro-architecture to 3.0GHz. And of course, Athlon 64 X2 6000+ can be of certain interest to the owners of older Socket AM2 systems, as a great upgrade option, although not the best one from the price-to-performance prospective, because of the $459 price AMD is asking for this new processor.
The new Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor is based on the Windsor core, which we have already discussed in detail before. It is manufactured with the good old 90nm production technology. Although AMD has already managed to start mass manufacturing of 65nm Brisbane based processors, these cores were not used for the new CPUs for two reasons. Firstly, mature 90nm technology allows achieving higher clock speeds, as the top of the line CPUs on 65nm Brisbane core can only hit 2.6GHz at the most. Secondly, the cores used for the top Athlon 64 X2 processors with the total of 2MB of onboard cache-memory do not have any analogues among 65nm dies, because the biggest cache Brisbane can offer is only 1MB.
The specifications of the new CPU are pretty predictable.
The data reported by the diagnostic utility is fully compliant with the official specification:
Athlon 64 X2 6000+
3.0 GHz
Socket AM2
L2 cache
2 x 1024 KB
Memory controller
128-bit, dual-channel
Supported memory types
Hypertransport bus frequency

Core stepping
Production process
90 nm, SOI
227.4 mln.
Die size
218 sq.mm
Typical heat dissipation
Maximum casing temperature
55-63o C
AMD64 technology
NX-bit technology
Cool'n'Quiet technology
There is one thing that you should definitely pay special attention to. The new processor is based on F3 core stepping, which we know from Athlon 64 FX-7X used in Quad FX platform. It should be this new Windsor core stepping that allowed AMD to increase the clock frequencies of the mass processors to 3.0GHz. However, this frequency increase turned out not free for the newcomer. Its typical heat dissipation rose to 125W, which puts Athlon 64 X2 6000+ on the same level with the Athlon 64 FX processors. Even Athlon 64 X2 5600+ working at 2.8GHz dissipated only 85W of heat, which is typical for the entire line-up of "common" Socket AM2 CPUs.
So, Athlon 64 X2 6000+ sets special requirements to the cooling system and mainboard CPU voltage regulator circuitry. This processor is only compatible with those coolers and mainboards that support Socket AM2 versions of Athlon 64 FX processor family. Other than that, there should be no potential problems with the use of the new Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor.
We decided to compare the performance of the new Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor with that of the top CPUs on Core micro-architecture as well as to that of the fastest AMD solutions available these days: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ and Quad FX platform. Considering that we have pretty good idea of what the result will turn out to be and in order to add some intrigue to our test session we decided to use Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate OS. All performance measurements taken throughout this test session were performed in 64-bit version of the above mentioned operating system.
Our test platforms were built using the following equipment:
We ran the tests with the BIOS Setup of the mainboards adjusted for maximum performance.
Also note that according to the manufacturers' recommendations the Quad FX system was equipped with four 512MB memory modules, while all other test systems used two 1GB DDR2 SDRAM memory modules. Node Interleaving function was disabled.
We used 64-bit applications version everywhere where it was possible.
The graphs do not reveal anything unexpected. The popular Futuremark tests are not very optimistic about the performance of the new Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor. The obtained results show that the AMD newcomer is slightly faster than Core 2 Duo E6600 and hopelessly behind the top Intel processors on Core micro-architecture.
The situation in popular games is pretty similar to what we have just seen in 3DMark06. The performance level of Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is pretty average against the background of the top dual-core Intel CPUs. Our hero gets slightly ahead of the Core 2 Duo E6600, but still falls behind the Core 2 Duo E6700.
Having tested Athlon 64 X2 6000+ in the 64-bit version of Unreal Tournament 2004 game we have confirmed once again that the use of 64-bit extensions doesn't change the overall performance picture.
Just like in 32-bit games, Athlon 64 X2 6000+ can only compete equally with Core 2 Duo E6600 processor.
Besides a few real games, we have also included the results of two benchmarks based on Valve Source code that will be used for future games development. The first benchmark estimates how fast the testing participants cope with building the lighting maps, and the second – evaluates the performance during environmental physics processing.
Here Athlon 64 X2 6000+ performs even slower. Core 2 Duo E6600 selling at $150 lower price than our today's hero wins in both these tests.
We have also included the chess benchmark into our gaming test session. It uses a famous Fritz 9 gaming engine.
No consolation again: Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is at the bottom of the chart yielding to Core 2 Duo E6600, which is running at 20% lower nominal frequency than the AMD CPU.
Unfortunately, complex benchmarks modeling the user behavior, such as SYSMark 2004 SE, do not work in Windows Vista. Therefore, we decided to estimate the typical office performance using the time it takes our test systems to resolve certain specific tasks. These tasks were the comparison of two versions of a large document in Microsoft Office Word 2007 and the calculation of a table with typical statistical operations in Microsoft Office Excel 2007.
Intel CPUs are again the leaders. The results in Excel were especially impressive, as they turned out over 100% faster than the AMD processors.
We have also tested the systems performance with the benchmark built into the 64-bit version of the 7-zip archiving tool. We looked at the archiving speed and data extraction from archives.
During data archiving the situation turned out pretty common: Athlon 64 X2 6000+ yields to the rivals on Core micro-architecture here. However, during data extraction from the archives AMD processors managed to demonstrate more impressive result. Note that it is the only task where AMD K8 micro-architecture revealed very competitive level of performance.
The diagrams showing the processors performance during audio and video content encoding can hardly suggest any new conclusions. The new AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor is again not among the fastest. In two benchmarks out of three this CPU cannot outperform even Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, which is a much cheaper processor from the pricing standpoint.
Besides our standard Adobe Photoshop CS3 test session we have also checked the performance of our testing participants in Microsoft Windows Photo Gallery that was used to prepare a digital photo gallery for printing.
The system based on AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ CPU processes the images too slowly. It falls pretty far behind all platforms built on Intel processors in our tests.
We tested the performance during video movie rendering in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and during the preparation of the video movie for posting on YouTube using a standard Windows Vista application aka Windows Movie Maker.
The situation with the video processing is slightly different from what we have just seen in image editing applications. However, there is no dramatic change whatsoever. AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ performs comparably only with the Core 2 Duo E6600, not more than that.
During rendering in 3ds Max 8 AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is running at about the same speed as Core 2 Duo E6600 processor. In 64-bit CINEBENCH 9.5 and POV-Ray 3.7 applications its relative performance is a little higher and can be compared with that of Core 2 Duo E6700 processor. It looks as a good achievement against the results of other benchmarks, I should admit.
Of course, the 3GHz processor on Windsor core manufactured with 90nm process can hardly conquer high frequencies during overclocking. Nevertheless, we decided to check out the overclocking potential of the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor.
Our overclocking experiments were performed using Zalman CNPS9500 LED air-cooler with sufficient cooling efficiency for processors with 125W TDP. For better results we increased the processor Vcore to 1.6V. The stability of the overclocked processor was tested using S&M and Orthos utilities.
Note that although AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor costs quite a lot and works at higher nominal speed, its maximum clock frequency multiplier is locked. That is why we could only overclock it using the increased FSB speed, which turned out to be no problem at all, by the way.
Our experiments showed that AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ could overclock to maximum 3.2GHz without losing the operational stability.
As we have expected, the overclocking potential of the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is not that significant. This processor is already running at almost the full potential of the Windsor core.
Strange as it might seem, but AMD is going to introduce even faster processor model based on the 90nm Windsor core later on. Within the next few months the company is going to announce Athlon 64 FX-76 processor designed for Quad FX systems and working at 3.2GHz nominal speed. However, since Athlon 64 FX processors are not manufactured in serious mass quantities, this is not impossible at all.
Frankly speaking the launch of the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor is not a very big event. Until promising new cores based on K8L micro-architecture come out, AMD will hardly be able to surprise us with anything. After the launch of Intel Core 2 Duo processor family, AMD K8 micro-architecture turned pretty obsolete. While in the budget and mainstream market AMD manages to success just fine thanks to smart and aggressive pricing policy, then the high-performance segment seems to be a tough nut to crack for AMD at this time.
Despite its significantly higher performance rating and $459 retail price, the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ processor can only compete successfully with Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, though not in all applications. From the price-to-performance prospective it is losing to the Intel Core 2 Duo at this time. So, the newcomer will have really hard times winning the user's hearts. At least until the prices go down again.

Postmodern fallacies
Merold Westphal replies
Jul 26, 2003 by Merold Westphal
I thank Douglas Groothuis for his response, but I cannot agree that the "Enlightenment project" as described by postmodernism is a "caricature" that "may loosely fit Descartes, but few others." It is essential to the rationalist philosophers Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz; and in his own utterly unique way Hegel also holds that philosophy can be a presuppositionless science, transcending all particular and contingent perspectives. In yet another distinctive manner, Husserl presents phenomenology as the method that will enable philosophy to be rigorous, presuppositionless science.

April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month and during the week of April 8 – 12, the Dental Department of Optimus Health Care, Inc. offers a Free Oral Cancer screening.
Oral Cancer is particularly dangerous because in its early stages it may not be noticed by the patient, as it can frequently prosper without producing pain or symptoms they might readily recognize and because it has a high risk of producing second, primary tumors.
– OralCancerFoundation.org
Important facts about Oral Cancer:
– Close to 42,000 people in the US will be diagnosed with oral or pharyngeal cancer this year.
It will cause over 8,000 deaths, killing roughly one person an hour, 24 hours a day.
– Oral cancer most often occurs in people over the age of 40 and affects more than twice as many men as women.
– It is important to find oral cancer as early as possible when it can be treated more successfully. – An oral cancer examination can detect early signs of cancer.
Call or come in to one of our four dental practices to schedule an appointment for your FREE SCREENING:
The exam is painless and takes only a few minutes!

Con Edison Media Relations
November 3, 2012
10:00 p.m.
NEW YORK – Con Edison is being joined by an army of mutual aid crews from various states and Canada that will help restore service knocked out by Hurricane Sandy.
Nearly 2,000 out-of-town crews are being deployed in New York City and Westchester County from various staging areas. An additional 400 crews are scheduled to arrive in the Con Edison service territory by Sunday.
Con Edison has established Mutual Aid Base Camps and staging areas at Rye Playland in Rye, Citifield in Queens, and Miller Field in Staten Island. Con Edison is building additional base camps in FDR State Park in Yorktown Heights and the Queens Hall of Science.
Con Edison crews have restored electricity to more than 700,000 customers, or approximately 70 percent of all those who lost power since Hurricane Sandy slammed through New York. Nearly 950,000 Con Edison customers were affected by the storm.
The hurricane is the worst natural disaster to strike New York and Con Edison's customers.
Safety remains the No. 1 priority for customers, Con Edison employees, and contractors. Crews are facing thousands of downed wires in New York City and Westchester County. The company is working closely with emergency services personnel to open blocked roads and streets.
In addition to restoring electricity to homes and businesses, weekend goals include bringing electricity to schools for Monday, and polling places for Tuesday. Those restorations are nearing 100 percent for accessible buildings.
Some cannot be re-energized since they are in flood zones with damage that prevents the safe re-introduction of electricity.
The company expects to make significant progress restoring electricity over the next seven days by planning work and sharing it with hundreds of overhead crews from around the country.
As of 10 p.m., Con Edison reported approximately 246,000 customers out of service. That included 7,300 in Manhattan, 74,000 in Queens, 24,000 in Brooklyn, 27,000 in Staten Island and 15,000 in the Bronx.
In Westchester County, the company reported 99,000 customers out of service. Originally, 210,000 customers in the county were affected by the hurricane.
Customers can report downed power lines, outages, and check service restoration status by computer or mobile device at www.conEd.com. They also can call 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633). When reporting an outage, it is helpful if customers have their Con Edison account number available, if possible, and report whether their neighbors also have lost power. Customers who report outages will be called by Con Edison with their estimated restoration times as they become available.
The company is advising its customers to pay close attention to reports from city and municipal officials. Con Edison will continue to provide updates through the media as the storm moves closer. Important information will be posted on the company's website, www.conEd.com.
For instructions on how to report an outage, click here: http://bcove.me/6sx1yox5
The company is in constant communication with the New York City Office of Emergency Management and the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services and company personnel are working closely with city and municipal emergency officials.

Growing up, "Hallmark Hall of Fame" represented the gold standard of what we would call today "family values" television, except that TV then rarely carried anything threatening to those values. Today, Hallmark's commitment to quality television hasn't change; it even has its own cable channel, which shows films that affirm the values most of us hold dear.
This Easter Sunday, CBS will mark the 60th anniversary of the "Hallmark Hall of Fame" with a film called "Beyond the Blackboard." It's one of those "based on a true story" projects about a young woman (Stacey Bess) who desperately wants to teach, but finds there are no jobs available in her Salt Lake City school district. There is, however, an experimental program and Bess (played by Emily VanCamp), eagerly accepts the job. There's a problem, though. She is to teach homeless children in a rundown warehouse.
Stacey shows up for her first day of work wearing pumps and carrying a leather briefcase and gets a fast reality check.
Based on Bess' memoir, "Nobody Don't Love Nobody," the film could easily veer off into a political diatribe and a call for more government spending on education. It is a tribute to the restraint of the creators that it does not. What it does depict is the power of one person to make a difference in other people's lives, not with government funds, but with the currency of a loving and dedicated heart.
This storyline originally put me off. It is drenched in estrogen and Stacey's husband Greg, played by Steve Talley, seems largely passive, even irrelevant, except that he keeps getting her pregnant. But the more I thought about it the more I realized that "wholesome TV" takes some getting used to. The mind must purge itself of the sexual and the tawdry to make room for the good.
In an interview on the "Blackboard" set in Albuquerque, the real Stacey Bess recalls her first day with the homeless children: "The gentleman who greeted me at the shelter looked me up and down and all his body language was saying, 'You don't belong here. This isn't gonna work out.' And the truth is, the chance of my surviving at the beginning were just about nil. I mean, I'd never been exposed to poverty."
Stacey Bess is no "do-gooder," who comes to a place she might never knowingly want to visit and then leaves after a few days. This is commitment. This is real. This matters, because she has mattered in the lives of others.
"What's the bottom line take away from this story?" she is asked.
"I think the Number One thing that Greg (her husband) and I have truly learned is step out of your comfort zone, reach out to people, you don't have to be sophisticated to love somebody, you don't have to have grand skills, you don't have to have a degree, you just have to want to care just a little bit further than what's expected. We're not exceptional people. … I just happened to have an opportunity to help some young people, and I just happened to have a husband and children who supported me – and really, we did it together."
That attitude has inspired "Hallmark Hall of Fame" for 60 years. One hopes that in our cynical and hyper-politicized age, it will last for another 60.

Seniors Deliver; No. 8 Syracuse Beats No. 18 Cornell
from press release
SYRAUCSE, N.Y. - Senior Awehiyo Thomas capped her final regular season game at the Carrier Dome with a resounding four-goal burst to lead the Orange in an 11-8 victory against No. 18 Cornell on Wednesday night. Senior Katie Rowan produced six assists in her final regular season peformance to aid in the victory.
Syracuse dominated the first half with a five-goal pad, 8-3, but the Big Red surged back and outscored SU in the second session, 5-3. The Orange hung on for its 11th victory of the season and turns its attention to conference foe Rutgers on Saturday, April 18. Syracuse and Rutgers faceoff in Piscataway, N.J.
Cornell made a valiant rally, but it fell just short as No. 8
Syracuse won its third straight over the Big Red with an 11-8
victory on Wednesday evening at the Carrier Dome. The Big Red got a
pair of goals from Syracuse native Shannon McHugh and two goals and
an assist from Skaneateles native Libby Johnson in the defeat,
dropping Cornell to 7-5 on the year. The Orange improved to
McHugh scored both of her goals in the second half run as Cornell rallied from a 10-3 deficit to get within 10-8 with 4:35 to play. Another Big Red goal was waved off late for a crease violation and the Orange were able to run the clock out on the upstarts. Tissy O'Connor was also huge all night, scoring once, winning five ground balls and two draws and causing a turnover. Seniors Halsey Diakow and Deirdre Lafferty chipped in a goal apiece, while classmate Jessica Wiegand and freshman Jessi Steinberg had an assist each. Kristen Reese made five saves, all in the first half, and also won a ground ball and caused a turnover.
SU All-American candidate Katie Rowan was held without a goal, but was able to generate six assists. High-scoring Christina Dove and Halley Quillinan tallied just three goals between them, but Awehiyo Thomas stepped up with four scores.
Cornell held a 23-20 edge in shots and was a perfect 15-of-15 clearing the ball, leading to several fastbreak opportunities. The Orange won the battle at the draw control circle (13-8) and got 10 big saves from goalkeeper Liz Hogan in the victory.
Cornell trailed 8-3 at the half despite playing an inspired half
of lacrosse in the first 30 minutes. Reese made five saves and
O'Connor was outstanding on both ends, scoring a goal, winning
three ground balls and leading the clearing game for the Big Red.
Reese made four saves on the All-American Rowan, but she was able
to contribute with five first-half assists.
The Orange scored two quick goals to set the pace, as Tee Ladoceur found the back of the net 1:43 in on a free-position shot and Awehiyo Thomas scored the first of three first-half goals 36 second later after a broken play at midfield. Cornell responded though, not allowing the home team to pull away so easily. Johnson got the Big Red on the board with an odd-angle free-position shot that beat Hogan over her shoulder at the 26:44 mark. O'Connor then tied it up in front of the net on a nice feed from Jessi Steinberg at 25:10 to make it 2-2. After Reese saved a low shot, her outlet pass to O'Connor triggered a fastbreak that resulted in a free-position shot that hit the pipe. The failed clear by Suracuse resulted in another fastbreak for Wiegand, but the senior was stoned by the SU keeper to keep the game tied eight minutes in.
After those two missed opportunities, the Orange took control with its offensive efficiency. Christina Dove scored her 42nd goal of the season on a feed from Rowan before Rowan connected on another pass, this time to Thomas at the 19:43 mark. Rowan completed the assist hat trick when she hit a speeding Bridget Looney to go up 5-2 after her rocket shot at 18:05.
Cornell cut the deficit to two when Hogan stoned a shot by Halsey Diakow in front of the cage, but the ball fell right back into the senior's stick and she one-timed it past the sprawling goalkeeper with 14:55 on the clock to cut the deficit to 5-3. That would be the last time the Big Red would find the net in the half, as the Orange would end the half on a 3-0 run as Cornell would go scoreless for the final 14:55. Rowan assisted on a pair of goals in the final nine minutes, including Halley Quillinan's score with 2:57 left to round out the first-half scoring.
Shots were closely contested in the first 30 minutes with Syracuse holding a slim 14-11 edge, but it was on the draw (8-4) that SU took its biggest advantage, Cornell cleared all seven attempts from Syracuse's offensive zone and Hogan made it stand up with seven saves between the pipes.
SU got on the board 2:29 into the second half when Looney found the back of the net to make it 9-3. The run extended to 5-0 when Rowan again assisted on a goal, this time to Thomas at 22:58. From there, the Big Red got right back in the game with a 3-0 spurt of its own.Johnson, Lafferty and McHugh each found the back of the net in succession to cut the SU lead to 10-6 with 9:52 left. When Wiegand found Lindsey Kane on a fastbreak after a Orange turnover to make it 10-7 with 6:16 left, Cornell was energized and back in the game. Another Syracuse turnover turned into a lightning-fast goal, this time on a midfield run by McHugh to get back within 10-8 with 4:35 left. After Syracuse won the ensuing draw, the Big Red forced yet another turnover, but handed it back on a bad clearing pass with under four minutes to play.
The Orange was able to capitalize on a free-position attempt, as Lindsey Rogers found Megan Mosenson on a quick start with 2:19 left for a goal on the open net to push the lead back to three (11-8), but McHugh won the draw and drew a foul inside the fan, but her free-position shot was saved by Hogan. Cornell forced a quick turnover and Jessica Wiegand appeared to score, but the goal was waved off for a crease violation. The Orange were able to clear the ball and run out the clock to earn the victory.
The Big Red continue Ivy League play when it visits Yale on Saturday, April 18 at 1 p.m. in New Haven, Conn.

Eli Roth (Hostel) has confirmed that he has put his adaptation of Stephen King's excellent novel Cell on hold for the time being. Apparently, no one has written a script that Roth can live with, so he's cleared his calendar and is moving on to other projects.
What other projects? Well, we're glad you asked! After the hilarious Thanksgiving trailer Roth turned in for Grindhouse, he's working on a feature full of them, called Trailer Trash. As for a Hostel III? Well, we haven't heard anything, but after the dismal performance of Hostel II, we wouldn't bet on it.

The Princess Bride by William Goldman - Fiction
William Goldman's modern fantasy classic is a simple, exceptional story about quests—for riches, revenge, power, and, of course, true love—that's thrilling and timeless.
Anyone who lived through the 1980s may find it impossible—inconceivable, even—to equate The Princess Bride with anything other than the sweet, celluloid romance of Westley and Buttercup, but the film is only a fraction of the ingenious storytelling you'll find in these pages. Rich in character and satire, the novel is set in 1941 and framed cleverly as an "abridged" retelling of a centuries-old tale set in the fabled country of Florin that's home to "Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions."

1. Help! I am desperately trying to find out the name of a movie I saw back in the early 1970s. I only saw a clip from it, but it was something I always remembered!
a. The scene showed a young woman in a bath tub that was partially clear from the left side, like a clear plastic or lucite. You could see her legs from the side of the bath tub. Immersed in a bubble bath, she was laying back reading a book, with her legs folded, knees bent at the top.
b. The camera pans to the left, and the audience sees a slug-like parasite (looks almost like a piece of human feces) drop out of the bathroom wall's ventilator shaft/covering.
c. Thanks to the clear portion of the bath tub, the audience sees it "swim" towards the woman's legs. Then, suddenly, the young woman thrusts herself up and splashes around violently. We can assume it entered her vaginally or anally. I think she becomes a sex nymphomanic, but I'm not sure.
2. This is NOT the Canadian movie titled "Shivers". Does anybody know the movie's name? Where can it be obtained?
Any serious assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
Sincerely yours,

Corps of Engineers: runoff from six Missouri River dams to remain below normal
By Katie Knapp Schubert • Jul 5, 2012
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says runoff from the six dams that feed the Missouri River will be below normal the rest of the year.
In a news release, Corps officials say the July runoff forecast shows below-normal runoff for the rest of 2012. It's at 87-percent of normal north of Sioux City.
Jody Farhat, chief of the Omaha District's Water Management Division, says the lower runoff means normal operating conditions. It won't affect the navigation season, which ends November 24th at Omaha.
Releases from Gavins Point Dam in South Dakota were at 31,700 cubic feet per second in June. Last year at this time, releases were five times that amount as Nebraska and Iowa saw major flooding.

Jacob Cantrell was Sagittaron's representative to the Quorum of Twelve ("The Ties That Bind", "Escape Velocity", "Guess What's Coming to Dinner?") prior to his assassination along with the other Quorum members during the Gaeta-Zarek mutiny (Blood on the Scales).
When Roslin goes missing after a Cylon baseship she visits unexpectedly jumps away, the Quorum squabbles over her successor. Cantrell pointedly asks Lee Adama whether Admiral Adama would support Tom Zarek or the government if he were to become president. After some hesitation Adama replies that he wouldn't, leading to more shouting (Sine Qua Non).
Following the discovery and evacuation of Earth, Roslin considers Cantrell the key to persuading the Quorum in favor of an alliance with the rebel Cylons, but he is one of the strongest voices against the plan (A Disquiet Follows My Soul).
Later, after Lieutenant Felix Gaeta and Zarek stage a mutiny aboard Galactica and Zarek turns to the Quorum for support (minus Lee Adama who was at large aboard Galactica), the Quorum rebuffs him and Cantrell orders him to leave, pointedly addressing Zarek as the Vice President. Zarek calmly leaves the room and orders the marines outside the door to execute all Quorum members present (Blood on the Scales).

If you want to summarize Sky Safari Adventure Time, a game that comes directly from Cartoon Network's franchise, you could say just "jump 'n strafe using your bottom". Yes, because the basic purpose of this game for each player is to join Finn and his friends on the Ooo's rides, in this cross-over that joins Adventure Time and Ski Safari. Just press "Start" and your downhill adventures will begin. All you need as a prerequisite is to love cross-country skiing, although in this case instead of the skis you have to use your… butt.
So, prepare yourself to ski through three different worlds: Ice Kingdom, Candy Kingdom, and the Mystery Mountains to outrun a relentless avalanche. Hitch a ride with friends Jake, LSP, Marceline, Princess Bubblegum, Rainicorn, Ice King, Gunter, and many others.
A few actions, but a lot of fun in this cross-over game where you must simply tap to jump or strafe on the ground, staying ready to perform flipping awesome tricks or ride animals to increase your combo meter. Those are the basics of this game. More you'll be good at stunts, much points you'll gain. Nice to refer that in the game you could change your costume: for example you'll wear a pajama or a zombie costume as well.
This time I would like to dwell one moment on a real important matter, because is my opinion that this game is suitable mainly from younger people, so I would like to draw your attention to the in-app purchase system, in fact as clearly explained on iTunes:
iOS will keep you logged on for 15 minutes after an initial in-app purchase. Additional purchases won't require a re-entry of your password during this 15-minute interval. This is a function of the iOS software and not within our control.
This means that if you provide your password to finalize an in-app purchase, for 15 minutes after this billing your device could repeat other purchases without prompting any password request, so be careful before leave your smartphone or tablet in the hands of your kids, leaving the alone playing while you'll do your business!
Download & Play
App Store
Addictive: This game causes addiction. Be aware.
InApp Purchases: Despite to the paid download, you'll soon need to purchase gems, if you want to start from a checkpoint after crashed your bottom. A bad approach for a game dedicated to kids.

I used JMP last year. It's a subset of SAS.
Hi guys,
I'm wondering if any of you know a computer software that can perform general (multi-level) fractional factorial design (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_factorial_design)?
I've looked at Axiom · Eigenmath · Mathomatic · Maxima · PARI/GP · Reduce · Sage · Yacas, Macsyma · Maple · Mathcad ·Mathematica, none of them seem to to do it. MatLab only does
2-level designs.
So, is there any software that can do a genearl FFD?
Thanks a lot.
I have used both minitab and designease to successfully run experimental designs of many types. I have also used excel but don't know where I put that spreadsheet or I would upload it.
Statistical Analysis: Data Analysis and Statistics Software and Training | Minitab
Design-Ease 6: What's New
^^ Hi, thanks so much for the reply. I haven't got a windows machine at the moment, so I cannot try the trial version, but would you be able to tell me if minitab could do a full fractional factorial design of a 6^5 problem? More specifically, my problem has 5 factors, each factor has 6 possible values. Given the limited resources, I can only afford less than 100 runs. I'd be very grateful if you could check with minitab on whether it can do this problem.
Thanks a lot.
I just played around with the trial version of mintab, and no, it does not do general fractional factorial design.
I checked out the feature of design-easy 6 and 7, and no, they don't say anything about general fractional factorial design either.
Thanks anyway!

Meet Kathy!
I'm a working mom. Well, I have one gorgeous daughter and a very lousy husband. I'm serious about the last part. I'm always tired from work but my man can't even do something to relax me. I'm referring about sex. Well, I'm not on a dry spell right now but what I'm getting is not enough. I always dream about a rough and hardcore sex life. I think I've still got decent moves in between sheets and I've still got the youthful curves you want. Better rush to me now while the offer is still available.

These are South African medicine men. Its amazing the way they blend old ways into their new-westernized culture. I could see our medicine men doing the same thing. Being a medicine man is understanding the powers that native plants possess and how they effect the body. Holistic medicine has been used for millenia and now we have these new medicines and they do nothing but treat us for the poor diets and lack of excercise that we get here in America. 70 percent of Americans in general are obese. I could see that percentage being much higher among Natives and this is due to our adoption of a neolithic diet and that is a diet based on grain and sugar. Unfortunately, grains and sugar are bad medicine to the American Indian. Our best medicine is the love that we share with our families when we feed each other healthy greens and tatanka!

I'm a Montreal photographer who specializes in portraits & headshots, and weddings & lifestyle in Montreal. My approach to portrait photography is to create vibrant, natural, and authentic photographs. I particularly love working with artists & actors, freelancers & small business owners.
Maybe you're here because you need a clean, simple, professional headshot where you look confident and approachable for your prospective clients and employers. Or maybe you're here because that photo from the Christmas party just won't cut it anymore for your LinkedIn profile. :) My goal is to make sure that together, we produce photos that represent you in the best way possible. I believe that it is the responsibility of the photographer to ensure that the subjects appear natural, comfortable, and confident. I do my best to achieve this with my clients by doing 2 main things:
First, I know that for most of you contacting me, it's your first time hiring a professional photographer, so I make sure that the photoshoot environment is relaxed and stress-free. It might seem intimidating, but you'll see, I'm not THAT scary. It's a pretty organic process: we talk, get to know one another, we continue the conversation as I'm photographing you, and hopefully you laugh at my bad jokes.
Second, I pay attention to posing details and guide you throughout the shoot. I show you how to tweak your hand placement, shoulder positioning, eyebrow pressure, etc. These tiny details, in my opinion, can make the difference between a stiff, awkward shot and a comfortable natural one.
When choosing a headshot or portrait photographer, choose someone who you can connect with, someone you'd get along with – if you feel comfortable with the photographer, it'll translate in the photographs. If you want to learn more about me, please check out my about page. You can also read about what my clients think of me over at my client testimonial page.
If you're interested in hearing more, contact me at email@example.com. Please describe the type of photo that you want, and I'll give you a price estimate as soon as possible.
Thanks for visiting!

Messe Frankfurt Reports Strong Ambiente Attendance
February 20, 2013,
FRANKFURT, Germany-Ambiente, the international five-day trade fair that wrapped up here earlier this week, featured more exhibitors and more visitors than last year's show, according to show owner and organizer Messe Frankfurt.
"Ambiente 2013 left no doubt that consumption is 'in' and gave an impressive demonstration of its position as the world's leading consumer-goods fair. Despite the difficult economic circumstances prevailing in parts of Europe, Ambiente was able to grow on both the exhibitor and visitors sides," said Detlef Braun, member of the executive board of Messe Frankfurt GmbH.
With over 140,000 visitors, Ambiente 2013 was distinguished by its growth in the number of visitors (there were 138,058 visitors in 2012). The top 10 visitor nations were Italy, France, The Netherlands, the United States, Great Britain, Switzerland, Spain, China, the Russian Federation and Austria. The Fair showcased the products of 4,688 exhibitors from 81 countries. Last year 4,530 exhibitors hailed from 88 countries, Messe Frankfurt said.
"We are very pleased with Ambiente and welcomed a large stream of customers to our stand throughout the fair," said Nicolas Luc Villeroy, member of the board of management of Villeroy & Boch AG, in a statement released by Messe Frankfurt. "Our most important customers from Asia, North America and Eastern Europe, as well as our core markets, such as Germany and France, visited us here. Overall, we have been able to maintain at last year's high level and even improve on it in certain countries, such as Benelux."

Where I stayed
We left Telegraph Point at 7am and the sun was shining so we expected a beautiful sunny day. We were wrong - at Kew we stopped to change from the lightweight summer jackets that we were wearing into our warm waterproof jackets
Some people complain about highway riding but we enjoyed the ride. Lesson Learnt… while 'being in the groove' is a good thing for music, it's not so good for riding, especially when you are riding near Newcastle.
If all lessons were this much fun, more people would be willing to study. Bad beds, wet weather and groovy roads - it's all part of the adventure and it's all good :-). We arrived at Carole's in Campbelltown and changed into dry clothes and will spend the night catching up with gossip from family/friends.

By Emily Le Coz/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Eighty at-risk learners will resume school more prepared this August thanks to a church-based pilot program pairing students and teachers for one summer month.
The Orchard, a United Methodist Church, organized and hosts the program at its Tupelo campus where elementary-age children attend five days per week. They're divided into eight classrooms – each staffed by a certified teacher, teacher's assistant and volunteers – to receive specialized instruction aimed at boosting reading skills.
Tupelo's Head Start program referred most of the children, who were deemed at risk for losing skills during the summer break. Others came from area day care centers.
The program, called Summers.a.l.t, began June 4 and ends today. Orchard staff then will choose eight participants whose progress will be tracked throughout the school year to gauge skill retention and academic achievement, said Merissa Rambo, the church's branching out minister.
If successful, Rambo said, the program will expand next year to include more children and possibly more churches.
"We really started dreaming out this last summer," said Bryan Collier, lead pastor. "The Orchard exists to make a difference in the world, and there are lots of opportunities to do that, but one of the greatest ways is through children."
Although teachers and assistants were paid, the program was free for children and their families. Rising Rankin Elementary third-grader Tyrique Harris called the experience "good, because you can learn here and have fun here."
In addition to group lessons and one-on-one help, children also learn Bible verses and participate in Integrity Time, which reinforces positive character traits.
One of the program's teachers, Robin Carruth of the Tupelo Public School District, lauded the program for its dedication to children and the opportunity to teach in a smaller, more relaxed setting.
"They're learning more, because you are one-on-one and looking them straight in the eyes," she said. "You can see the deficits more clearly and address them. It's been wonderful."

Rapid surveillance of multidrug resistance in ICU patients, by use of antibiotic-containing agar plates
Abstract number: P2069
Poulakou G., Plachouras D., Kontopidou F., Antoniadou A., Papadomichelakis E., Armaganidis A., Giamarellou H.
Objective: Adequate and timely administered antimicrobial treatment is the cornerstone of successful outcome in ICU infections. The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of an in vitro method in the early screening of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative microorganisms colonising or infecting ICU patients, in view of guiding initial treatment.
Methods: In an 18-bed general ICU, surveillance cultures were performed bi-weekly for tracheal aspirates and weekly for urine and anal swabs. All specimens were directly inoculated on Mac-Conkey agar plates containing antibiotics at a concentration of 8 mg/L for Ceftazidime (CAZ), 1 mg/L for Ciprofloxacin (CIP), 4 mg/L for Imipenem (IMP) and 16/4 mg/L for Piperacilline/Tazobactam (PT). The method was evaluated for a six week period and was compared to standard microbiological procedures (disk diffusion method, CLSI 2007 breakpoints of resistance). For COL BSAC breakpoint for disk diffusion method was used. Tracheal aspirates were processed quantitatively. Discordant results were categorised as major error when a resistant isolate did not grow on the antibiotic containing agar, appearing to be sensitive, and as minor when the converse occurred.
Results: A total of 604 Gram-negative isolates were compared; 208 Acinetobacter baumannii, 138 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 27 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and 271 enterobacteriaceae (115 Klebsiella pneumoniae). Concordance of the two methods, minor and major errors of the tested antibiotic-containing agar plates are displayed in table 1. Specimens with high dense inocula did not affect the sensitivity of the method for all antibiotics except PT (p 0.006). The presence of multiple microorganisms in the specimen reduced significantly the sensitivity of CAZ- and PT-enriched plates (p 0.005 and 0.014 respectively). COL-enriched plates displayed unacceptably reduced concordance with standard method, probably reflecting the poor diffusion of the antibiotic in the agar.
In 12 enterobacteriaceae the final result of CAZ disk was reported discordant to that measured by diameter due to an ESBL phenotype, whereas this was also the case for IMP disk among 30 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and enterobacteriaceae with MBL phenotype.
Table 1
Conclusions: The use of antibiotic-containing agar plates demonstrates satisfactory concordance with standard microbiological procedures and could prove useful in the early guidance of initial treatment of ICU patients with infections.

Zune Software Coming to Mac Soon
According to Neowin, Mac users might be able to use the Zune software soon according to Oded Ran, Microsoft UKs head of Windows Phone marketing in a tweet. He later removed his tweet.
EDIT: It is now confirmed by Microsoft that Zune will come to Mac this year.
If this is true I am so excited! I just hope it is the fully software and not use for WP7 phones.
Zune software coming for Mac users.
In order to not discourage Mac users from buying Phone7 devices, MS announced it will have a version of the Zune app for the Mac.
I put this in the HD forum, as it also means you'll be able to sync your Zune HD with a Mac when it comes out.
I caught the news on Google tech news. Has to be true, eh?
Not necessarily. The tweet, which has been redacted, said Zune. Microsoft's official statement says only, "syncing software". I doubt it will be a full-fledged version of Zune, or even any Zune whatsoever. It will more likely be a pared-down sync client which may retain a similar style, but may not function as a media player on your Mac.
I'll be honest, I'm really interested as to what design they will use: native Mac, or Metro.

Much needed victory for the Pirates. Francisco Liriano remains winless, but he pitched very well and gave the Pirates a taste of the ace they became accustomed to seeing in 2013. Bryan Morris and Tony Watson survived some turbulence to keep the game tied, and Mark Melancon picked up a fairly easy save.
Brewers starter Wily Peralta matched Liriano and it looked like the Pirate bats were going to stay quiet for a second consecutive night, but they woke up against closer Francisco Rodriguez, who entered in the tie game in the ninth. Ike Davis, Jordy Mercer, and Chris Stewart put together three consecutive singles for an unlikely go-ahead rally, and Starling Marte — appearing in a game for the first time since Saturday — delivered a 2-run double to essentially put the game away.
Obviously it is huge for the Bucs to get a W at Miller Park. With the game tied 1-1 in the late innings, you were just sort of waiting for something to go wrong, but finally nothing did. The rally off K-Rod – who has been elite this year – was pretty amazing. Hurdle brought in Clint Barmes to pinch run for Davis – even though that meant Barmes would have to play first in the ninth and potential extra innings – and it worked, as Davis might not have scored on Stewart's sharp single. That single, by the way, was Stewart's first RBI of the year. Plenty were probably scratching their heads after seeing him in the lineup two days in a row, but it worked out quite well.
The win is also huge in that it reinforces some confidence in two key players. Liriano may have had his best outing of the season, and Marte looked pretty healthy playing a couple innings and crushing a double to the CF wall.
The Pirates now have a shot at what would be an enormous series win…which would be awesome…but they'll be sending Wandy Rodriguez to the mound Thursday afternoon (1:10 start), so…let's just say it was important to win this one.

Bruce Jenner Undergoes Surgery To Remove Skin Cancer
Kim Kardashian's stepfather, former Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner, has undergone surgery to treat skin cancer, according to a report.
Jenner was snapped at a Los Angeles Lakers game on Monday with stitches on his right cheek and now sources tell TMZ.com that he went under the knife on Friday.
His doctor allegedly made the diagnosis following a biopsy, prompting the reality TV star to press ahead with an outpatient procedure to remove a patch of skin from the affected area.
Jenner and his wife Kris have yet to comment on the report.
Jenner won gold for the decathlon in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Canada.

A case-control study was performed to study risk factors for hemorrhage in cesarean deliveries. Hemorrhage was defined by a pre- to post-delivery hematocrit decrease of 10 points or more or by the need for red-cell transfusion. Patients with antenatal bleeding were excluded. Among 3052 cesarean deliveries, hemorrhage occurred in 196 cases (6.4%). Three controls were matched to each case and multiple logistic regression was used to control for covariance among predictor variables. Factors having a significant association with hemorrhage were: general anesthesia (adjusted odds ratio 2.94), amnionitis (odds ratio 2.69), preeclampsia (2.18), protracted active phase of labor (2.40), second-stage arrest (1.90), and Hispanic ethnicity (1.82). After adjustment for these variables, a classic uterine incision had a small but significant association (odds ratio 1.06) with hemorrhage. Previous cesarean, parity, gestational age, and several other factors had no association with hemorrhage. These data allow one to anticipate hemorrhage in patients at risk and may be useful in planning appropriate use of blood bank resources, including antepartum autologous blood donation.
