Manchester eruv applications lodged
Planning applications have been submitted to Bury, Salford and Manchester councils for the north Manchester eruv.
Organisers say the chief executives of the three authorities have provided assistance, and there has been encouragement from the Bishop of Manchester and interfaith groups.
Within the Jewish community, supporters include Manchester Beth Din and Rabbi Menachem-Mendel Schneebalg of Salford's Machzikei Hadass community, widely acknowledged as Manchester's most authoritative rabbi.
A map of the planned 13-mile boundary was put up on council planning websites this week. But the final route will be influenced by the response to hundreds of consultation letters being sent to residents living in affected areas. Due to technical complexities, the north Manchester eruv would not link with the one currently under construction in nearby Whitefield.
Application documents make the case that a religious boundary covering Prestwich, Broughton and Crumpsall would allow "the very young and the elderly in the Jewish community" to join communal and family gatherings on Shabbat. It would also allow residents of the Heathlands care home to use wheelchairs to get to family members and for the King David School campus to be used on Shabbat.
Plans indicate alterations to 50 areas of pavement across the three boroughs. In most cases, two poles, designed to resemble street signs, would be added to streets and would be topped by a single piece of wire to fill gaps in the boundary. However, around 75 per cent would be comprised of existing structures such as the walls of Prestwich's Heaton Park, one of the largest municipal parks in Europe. One of its park gates, along with roadside boundaries to Prestwich Golf Club and Prestwich Bowling Society, would benefit from modernisation funded by the Jewish community if the plans are approved at council planning meetings in October.
Shimmy Lopian, chairman of the Manchester and District Council of Synagogues, which is behind the eruv, said rabbinic consultations, surveyors' input and architectural plans had taken seven years and cost £50,000.
"The eruv will change thousands of people's lives," he said. "Mothers will be able to go to the park with children, people can carry to synagogues and people who are disabled will be able to go out on Shabbat. Manchester is one of the last major Jewish communities in the world that doesn't have an eruv. I'm hoping there will be a positive response. It isn't going to affect anybody who doesn't want to use it. It will be practically invisible."
Holy Law South Broughton Synagogue's Rabbi Yossi Chazan is another passionately in favour. "There are 101 reasons to support it - for the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, young children," he maintained. "Everyone should care about other people who need it and support the eruv. Even people who won't personally use it."
Salford Council leader John Merry said: "We will study the applications carefully. I am concerned about doing anything that would disturb good community relations."
Meanwhile, the Whitefield eruv project - which received planning permission from Bury Council last year - is facing delays. A problem in erecting fences adjoining residential properties required a new planning application this week for five additional poles. The delay will mean it will not be completed before December.

I know I should, it'd dry in no time. Now I have a new project on the needles that I just had to cast on because I saw somebody with a finished version of it. This cowl was on my to knit list ever since it came out, but I was saving it for the day when I have enough scraps from Drops Alpaca. That seemed to be the perfect yarn for it. Well, but now I had to buy some Drops Alpaca as I didn't have enough scraps and start it straight away.

New Google Advertising Formats
My colleague Stephane has recently asked me to write an article about the new advertising formats on Google and the evolution of Search Marketing. Indeed, having worked for over 7 years in the industry, I am sometimes considered by some as 'old'. Also, having participated in the opening of the Google office in Belgium, there are a couple of unique stories of early Google years that come to mind.
For example, an advertiser who in 2007 refused to invest in Google AdWords because we did not allow him to display his flash banner on the homepage Google.be. Or another advertiser in 2008, who was desperate to invest in the future invention of Google, claiming to be tired of 'search', and seeing it as an ephemeral trend.
Despite the strong growth and proven performance in search marketing, many experts still show a distrust vis-à-vis this channel. Despite that, Search Marketing is at its peak with continuous evolutions in many areas such as integration of Google technology platforms, more precise targeting, more segmentation possible and simplified technical implementations. In particular, in recent years, the evolution in advertising formats on the Google search engine was amazing, from simple text links to images and structured data. The first to introduce this type of format was BING, the search engine of Microsoft. But the evolution of the Internet, its complexity through different channels and devices, led Google to quickly exceed BING in the field. Indeed, the willingness of the Internet giant is to follow the user through the many devices he uses and to offer him the best information adapted to his situation both the organic and paid listings.
In terms of SEO, Google is developing the display of useful information on the results page. It is the integration of structured databases on the search engine Google what some call the "rich snippets" data.
Moreover, paid search follows the same trend as the ad extensions are currently considered as one of the top priorities of Google. What is it? The ad extensions contain information, links, features or images for the advertiser to enhance its classic ad on Google search engine. You have probably already been exposed to it. For example, when you are looking for a plane ticket for your next trip, you can find additional information directly on all available flights without having to click away. Another example, when searching you look for a product on Google, you will find a range of products with images bringing you directly to the correct product page of the eCommerce website in question.
The frequent usage of ad extensions within Google leads directly to an increase in the visibility of the "paid" part and especially advertisers who actively use these features. This increase in visibility of the "paid" part of Google clearly explains the decrease in the "organic" part of Google, a real challenge for the SEO discipline. For example, a Semetis eCommerce client generates only 7% of the clicks on the organic part against 93% on the paid part of Google Shopping. In addition, Google has removed the free/organic part of this type of ad extension, which is still not available in Belgium.
Nevertheless, the ability to use these advanced formats on Google is in my opinion a significant opportunity for advertisers. First of all, the ad extensions allow to significantly increase the visibility of advertisers on the Google results page leading to an increase in click through rate and indirectly to an improvement of quality score. One of Semetis French eCommerce clients achieved an increase of 35% of its click through rate thanks to the Google Shopping and the user reviews ad extensions.
The ad extensions are multiple:
It is also important to note that in July 2013 Google transferred all active Google AdWords campaigns to the "enhanced campaigns." This is a major development of Google AdWords platforms allowing advertisers to better target users according to the device they are using (PC, Tablet, Smartphone ...). The ad extensions are even more developed and advertisers can now segment the advertising message to different users depending on the device and use. In addition, reporting is adapted according to users across all channels & devices.
Working on Search Optimization or Advertising is becoming more complex and the need to work with professionals becomes apparent. Indeed, implementations require extensive technical expertise. But beyond that, it is the dynamism and quality monitoring of campaigns that prevail. Search Marketing is constantly evolving to better integrate in the wider field of digital marketing. Its dynamism and growth allow professionals to constantly find new niches for growth and performance for advertisers, according to their goals and priorities.

Being homeless, or at risk for homelessness, is one of the most difficult things a person can face.
Lacking the security of knowing where you'll sleep at night, having no place to keep your belongings, and not having the ability to care for yourself and possibly your family can lead to stress, anger, a sense of shame, depression and physical discomfort. It can be hard to find employment, live a satisfying life, or do the things you want to do when you are homeless.
By Sheriff Mike Brown
Bedford County initiated the "Reverse 911 System" back in 2006 with, what was at the time, the most sophisticated system available, to send out emergency messages via telephone, advising citizens of potential dangers.
Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" is an event that everyone should experience during the holiday season, mainly as a lesson in great truths about the American experience.
The movie deals with the events in the life of the president and the nation in the year 1865, when the South has mostly been defeated and, unbeknownest to all, Lincoln only has a few months to live.
I hope the folks on the Bedford County School Board and the Bedford County Board of Supervisors have a great Christmas, because they are going to have some very tense times after the first of the year. That's because it will once again be time to climb down into the pit and wrestle with the budget bear.
By Congressman Robert Hurt
At this pivotal time in our nation's history, we face a great challenge of putting an end to unacceptably high unemployment and getting the American people back to work. And for the future of this country, we face an even greater challenge of getting back on sustainable fiscal footing so that we may preserve the American way for our children and grandchildren.
Lost in the hubbub of the presidential campaign was a brilliant op-ed in the New York Times that made a very convincing argument for finally reducing excessive military spending.
There's a specific type of American, a product of our militaristic culture, that supports any and every war no matter what, always believes that America is morally correct in an automatic way once we start dropping bombs or landing troops somewhere.
Since Election Day, a number of people have been looking for explanations about why Republicans failed to evict Barack Obama from the White House.
One explanation is that the Republicans' efforts to rally their base and get them to the polls wasn't as effective as the "Democrats'" efforts. This explanation appears to have some merit because there are some statistics to back it and, in such a close election, whose base turns out in force can be the deciding factor.
It has now been two months since a group of hostile Islamic radicals attacked the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, including two Navy SEALS. Unfortunately, today we know little more about the events leading up to that attack then we did two months ago.

Background: Internal dose assessment after radionuclide therapy is usually performed using home-made software packages. The dose assessment includes image registration, region-of-interest drawing, time-activity curve generation, and manual calculation of residence times followed by dose calculation with the OLINDA/MIRD software. The drawback of these methods is that several steps have to be performed using various software products possibly installed on different workstations. The aforementioned approaches are error-prone as well as difficult and time-consuming. In this article, we present a commercial software package that implements all the required dose calculation steps in 1 application, which greatly facilitates the internal dose assessment.
Methods and Results: The workflow of the newly developed software package "Hybrid Dosimetry" proceeds from automatic image registration to region-of-interest drawing, followed by time-activity curve fitting and dose calculation according to the MIRD method. The software is available online and can be run on independent computers using images in the common DICOM format. We used the package for internal dosimetry of 8 patients treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE and compared the results with manual dose calculation.
Conclusions: The online software package presented is platform independent and allows fast dose calculations. The results obtained with the new package were in perfect agreement with manual methods.

Dead By Dawn 2011 Review: Harold's Going Stiff
Harold's Going Stiff (2010)
Directed by: Keith Wright
Starring: Stan Rowe, Sarah Spencer, Andy Pandini, Lee Thompson
Review by: Keri O'Shea
Zombies have been used as a metaphor for a range of things over the years: they've represented mindless labour, consumerism, contagion, but never, to my knowledge, has zombieism been used as a metaphor for ageing. In the charming, understated British indie movie Harold's Going Stiff, that's just what we get.
The film is framed as a 'mockumentary', with the filmmakers examining the emergence of a perplexing new condition affecting British men and, in particular, how this condition affects an elderly man called Harold Gimble. And why? Well, it all started with Harold. A few months ago, he started getting pain and stiffness in his joints that went above and beyond the effects of old age: as he explains, he couldn't dig his garden anymore, and cutting a piece of cake to go with his nice pot of tea was sheer agony. After many unpleasant medical tests and much deliberation, doctors proclaimed that Harold was suffering from a totally new disease. They named it Onset Rigors Disease – or O.R.D for short – and before long it seemed to be affecting others too. When it affects other men however, they degenerate rapidly until they don't know their own families and even become violent. These guys seem like, well, zombies, and some concerned members of the community are now meeting this violence with (ham-fisted) vigilantism. Meanwhile Harold is trying to get on with his life, but as he lives alone, things are tough, and although his condition seems stable, it's not getting any better.
To try and give him back some of his lost mobility, the local health service sends Howard a nurse, Penny (Sarah Spencer). She's trained in massage techniques which it is hoped will help get Howard moving again. Penny is a warm, considerate woman who forms a close bond with her patient: she's also very lonely herself, and Howard becomes as important to her as she does to him. As more sufferers of O.R.D keep appearing, the medical team who diagnosed Howard's condition have to ask him if he'll help them with more tests as they search for a cure, and Penny insists on being there to support him.
What unfolds is a humorous, often affecting tale. It's worth establishing this, though: if you're hoping for another Shaun of the Dead then this is not it. It has a similar self-deprecating British humour and it's definitely funny, but otherwise completely different in tone. This isn't a gory zom-com but a character-driven story which easily manages to flip from moments of laugh-out-loud physical comedy to real pathos, and when I say pathos, I mean that many audience members at the Dead by Dawn festival where I saw the film (including myself, if I'm honest) were moved to tears. Director/writer Keith Wright knows when to change tack, though, and to give the audience something lighter. The group of vigilantes who have made it their mission to attack any aggressive O.R.D sufferers they see give us a real comedy of errors during their earliest scenes, and there's plenty of humour to be found in the rest of the film too.
The only potential problem I foresee for this film is that it doesn't sit comfortably in any one genre. It draws on elements of horror, but it's in no way a straightforward horror. It's often comedic, but probably sits outside the comedy genre as well. This genre-straddling means that it might struggle to find its audience and that would be a real shame. Also, the beautiful South Yorkshire setting comes with some broad South Yorkshire accents which many people will struggle with! I've lived in Yorkshire for years and I had to pause for thought, so our friends on the other side of the pond may well have problems.
Ultimately, Harold's Going Stiff plays out the anxiety surrounding ageing in a bittersweet, engaging story, as embodied by professional actors and non-actors who really make you care about their characters. It's no small thing to craft a film which tugs on the heartstrings as successfully as this one does, and it's proof that you don't need a huge budget to make a good indie.

A sweet business goes up in smoke
MIDDLESEX About 40 barrels of honey and his off-site bee hives are all that's left of Richard Drutchas' Bee-Haven Honey Farm, delivering a tough blow to a sweet business that sends Vermont honey all around the nation.
The Monday night fire that destroyed the barn and honey house at his Putnamville home caused an estimated $100,000 worth of damage, Drutchas estimated.
Drutchas, who was home at the time, said the fire began in the roughly 30-by-60 foot structure at around 6:30 p.m.. Drutchas said he built the honey house addition onto the 100-year-old barn about three years ago, to use for extracting and bottling honey.
Firefighters were able to save a second older barn and a connecting structure from burning. Both Drutchas and fire officials have attributed the fire to a faulty electrical source, possibly a honey heater or a new lighting system in the honey house.
"I was heating up some honey, and it's funny because I've been heating up honey up there for the past 20 years," Drutchas said on Tuesday. "You'd think a breaker would have popped or something."
On Tuesday morning, Drutchas went about assessing the damage and seeing how much of his honey was still saleable. Drutchas said he's been producing honey commercially at the Norton Road site off Route 12 for about 20 years. His Bee-Haven Honey Farm produces about 60,000 pounds of honey annually that is sold in markets all over the country, he said. None of Drutchas' 600 beehives are located at the Putnamville site.
Working behind the charred foundation of his business, Drutchas undertook the dreary task of shoveling blackened bits of wood and scrap from the tops of 55-gallon drums. He estimated that about 40 barrels had been saved, amounting to about 25,000 pounds of honey.
"Some of it's good, some of it's not, that's what I've got to figure out today. It depends how hot it got," Drutchas said while dumping a shovel full of ash and charred wood.
Behind him, the twisted metal remains of extraction and bottling equipment stood half buried under blackened beams and gray ash. Drutchas estimated that in equipment, jars, labels and miscellaneous items, he'd lost about $40,000. And that didn't include the cost of the buildings.
"To get it back to the point where I was, it's probably gonna take $80,000 to $100,000 dollars," he said while looking at the burned remains.
Drutchas said he planned to rebuild his business but that it would take time. Although insurance would cover some amount of his losses, Drutchas said he didn't believe he would be entirely covered.
"Unfortunately, it wasn't insured to the max," he said, "That's a lesson to be learned."
Worcester Fire Chief Kevin Utton said the first tone sounded sometime after six o'clock and that his department was first to arrive at Drutchas' home. He said the Worcester department was assisted by fire crews from Middlesex, Berlin, East Montpelier, Wolcott and Elmore at the fierce blaze. In total, about 50 fire fighters battled the fire that kept crews out until about midnight dealing with hotspots, Utton said.
"The main barn was totally engulfed when we got there," Utton said. "So we did an exterior attack to stop it from spreading. And we saved more than half of the barn, it's actually two barns connected together with a part in the middle and we saved one of the barns."
He said based on information he received from Drutchas, electrical wiring was considered the cause of the fire and that no further investigation would take place. Although nobody was seriously injured during the fire, Worcester firefighter James Madore Sr. was treated for smoke inhalation and later released from Central Vermont Medical Center.
Madore said he was hit with a blast of smoke when he pulled open a barn door on Utton's orders. He was treated by medical technicians at the scene and later taken to the hospital.
"We tried to do the best we could with what we had for manpower at the time," Madore said. "It was a rough night. I'm supposed to kick back for a few days and relax."
Drutchas said he was thankful that no one was seriously injured in the fire and grateful for all work done by fire crews. He said the fire departments and Tom Bador of Worcester deserved his thanks for working late into the night and " breathing in a lot of crap out there."
"There was a lot of beeswax in there," Drutchas said. "It was a hot fire; it's amazing they stopped it where they did."MORE IN News

My mom likes to live in the past. It gives her comfort and gives her a reason to smile.
You see, in the past my dad is young and very much alive, my grandma didn't have alzeihmers, and I was only a baby.
I'm sure that my parents went through plenty of rough patches, but they seem to be nothing in comparison to the happy memories my mother proudly shares with anyone that will listen.
One of my favorite stories is about my dad and her working together and sharing one car.
"We only had one car that had to be shared with two adults, one baby and three schedules," my mom is known to share.
As the American Dream materialized, the house rental turned into a home purchase, one baby multiplied to two, and the garage was now a home for two cars.
From a Caprice Classic, to a Ford Mustang, to one of our Favorite family cars: a Ford Bronco, my youth and teenage years are marked with many family trips and Sunday services with my entire family in tow.
By the end of the 70's, it was four kids, a pair of parents, and a grandma that was our second mom; and a car, turns out, was much more than transportation: it was a vehicle that helped us create family memories.
So imagine my delight when I was invited by Ford to join them for the 2012 North America International Auto Show!
Sure, I know nothing about horse-power, power-trains, or any other auto-specific term, but I know this much about cars: they can be beautifully designed machines that offer more than a mode of transportation.
Cars, the right car, makes you feel strong, safe, powerful, young and free.
Especially in Los Angeles, cars, and how you care for your car, is an outward and very public display of your personality.
Being in the company of hundreds of cars, if only for a few hours, gave me a reason to think about the cars in my garage:
"Hun, you are getting a new car!," I screamed at the other end of the phone a few hours after the new Ford Fusion 2013 made its North American debut.
"Oh, yah?" Hubby asked, "And what car am I getting?"
If you ask me, we are simply upgrading the 2011 model we have. And why not? Seems like the perfect vehicle to create new memories!

Scott focuses on creditors' rights, commercial litigation and secured and unsecured lending transactions, with particular emphasis on restructuring and bankruptcy issues. He has represented creditors in both state and federal court proceedings, including actions to collect outstanding debt, enforce and foreclose upon collateral, and to seize collateral at the outset of a proceeding. Scott has represented syndicate agents, ad hoc lender groups and individual lenders in secured and unsecured transactions, participants in leveraged lease structures, commercial landlords, official creditors' committees and Chapter 7 trustees.
Scott has been involved in matters encompassing a broad range of industries including aviation, energy, insurance, various manufacturers, media companies, national retailers, apparel companies, motion picture theatre chains, telecom companies, cable companies and commercial real estate property.
Representative Matters
- Ad hoc group of term lenders in the restructuring of a US$2.1 billion credit facility extended to Arch Coal, Inc. Kaye Scholer devised a strategy to oppose an exchange offer proposed by Arch Coal with its senior noteholders that would have resulted in significant dilution of the term lenders' position. The company and the term lenders subsequently entered into a plan support agreement and the company commenced a Chapter 11 proceeding.
- Term lenders and syndicate agent in Paragon Offshore, Inc. in a Chapter 11 proceeding. The term lenders are actively opposing confirmation of the debtors' plan of reorganization.
- Administrative agent for the ABL lenders in the RadioShack Chapter 11 case involving the sale of the collateral, payment in full to the ABL lenders and ensuing intercreditor litigation.
- Syndicate agent and steering committee in the consensual restructuring of a US$795 million credit facility extended to a global outsourcing and data management company. Following the restructuring, the entity was de-leveraged by approximately US$500 million.
- Syndicate agent and steering committee in the restructuring and ultimate payment in full of a US$555 million credit facility extended to Preferred Proppants, LLC, a North American mining company. The case was recognized by Turnaround & Workouts as a 2014 Top Restructuring.
- Multiple financial institutions with over 80 aircraft in leveraged lease transactions and secured loans to American Airlines in the AMR Corporation Chapter 11 case.
- Controlling holder of CMBS trust certificates in the Extended Stay Hotel Chapter 11 case.
- Administrative agent and steering committee in the restructuring of US$825 million of first and second lien loans extended to Natural Products Group (NPG). Through a pre-packaged bankruptcy, the first lien pre-petition lenders acquired a majority of the equity of the reorganized entity. NPG was voted Restructuring Deal of the Year (Large Middle Market) in 2011.
- Administrative agent for a syndicate of lenders in the American Home Mortgage Chapter 11 case.
- Administrative agent and lender in the Adelphia Communications Chapter 11 case and related litigation.
- Major financial institution with over US$1 billion of exposure in the Enron Corp. Chapter 11 case and in related litigation.

Family, friends and faculty filled the main hall of the Townsend Center for the Performing Arts for the 2014 edition of the University of West Georgia Academic Honors Convocation. The annual event, a university tradition since 1964, is organized by a 13-member committee of the UWG Honors College and recognizes the superior scholarship of the undergraduate students that make up the UWG Honors College.
The event began with the processional of UWG faculty, dressed in academic regalia, and the student awardees. This was accompanied by a performance of William Walton's "Crown Imperial," performed by the UWG Wind Ensemble. Dr. Kyle Marrero, UWG president, gave a welcome address to the audience, providing a background history of the Honors Convocation and Honors College and expressing pride in the academic success of the honors students. His address was followed by performances by the students from the UWG music department including the brass and woodwind ensembles, the Chamber Singers and the Opera Workshop, as well as a poetry presentation titled "Migration" by UWG student Kelsey Fleming and an art presentation titled "Before the Beauty Standard" by Amanda Dennis.
UWG colleges and academic departments awarded the academic awards to the outstanding students. Several university awards were also presented to deserving students. Dr. Marrero gave a brief synopsis of each student while Dr. Don Rice, UWG's interim provost and vice-president for academic affairs, handed the awards to recipients. Ms. Elvina Ganbarova, the president of the UWG Student Honors Council and a recipient of the Outstanding Honors College Students Award for seniors, presented the Dr. Donald R. Wagner Honors Faculty of the Year Award to Dr. Patrick Erben, UWG associate professor of English. Dr. Erben taught the honors American Literature course in the fall 2013 semester. Students cited Erben's enthusiasm, humor and dynamic teaching as some of the reasons why they nominated him for the award. "I truly cannot think of anyone more qualified or deserving of this award," said one of his students.
The UWG Honors College is the first of its kind in the state of Georgia. It started out as the Honors Program in the spring 1975 semester and was elevated to its current status by the Board of Regents in June 1999. The Honors College seeks to provide intellectually gifted students with an educational experience commensurate with their abilities.

"Planned Parenthood Federation of America is protesting a policy by retailer Target that allows pharmacists at 1,150 of its more than 1,300 stores to send customers elsewhere to obtain the emergency contraceptive Plan B, which can prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of sexual intercourse, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
The policy allows pharmacists to refuse to dispense EC

them to fill prescriptions for all other medications.
Target spokesperson Lena Michaud said that if a pharmacist
refuses to fill a prescription for EC, they are expected
to see if another pharmacist in the store is available
to fill it. If not, they are required to call a different
pharmacy to confirm that it provides EC and has it in
stock so that the customer can get her prescription filled.
According to Target officials, incidents in which a pharmacist

Wal-Mart is pure evil, and has far too many strikes against it to accurately detail here.You can go to Wake Up Wal-Mart for a comprehensive account of their crimes. Here's just one fact:
According to the class-action suit filed on behalf of millions of women, since 1996, women at Wal-Mart have earned less than men holding the same jobs in nearly every job category. Nearly 750,000 women work as "sales associates" in Wal-Mart stores. On average these women earn $6.10 per hour, or $12,688 per year if they work full-time. This wage puts many of their families below the poverty level - half would qualify for food stamps.

From Forbes.com:
"The oil giant raked in $8.42 billion in the fourth quarter and more than $25 billion for all of 2004, both record-high profits in its history. Exxon Mobil blew away Wall Street forecasts, as higher oil and natural-gas prices offset a slight dip in production."

Moran, Mark
Two new studies — among the first to examine neurological effects on pilots who fly at altitudes few other humans experience — suggest that U2 pilots have significantly more white matter lesions than pilots who fly at lower altitudes.
U2 pilots who fly at extraordinarily high altitudes appear to show significantly great numbers of high-density white matter lesions on MRI, and also demonstrate mild differences on cognitive tests compared with pilots who fly at lower altitudes.
Those were the findings from two studies that will be presented at the AAN annual meeting later this month.
The two studies are among the first to look at the neurological effects on pilots who fly at altitudes few other humans experience; U2 spy planes are known to fly as high as 70,000 feet, where the curvature of the earth can be seen.
Study author and neurologist Stephen McGuire, MD, of Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX, emphasized in an interview with Neurology Today that U2 pilots are a unique, exceptionally healthy breed, and that the subjects in the two studies do not demonstrate clinical symptoms. Nevertheless, the findings from the two reports have prompted the Air Force to make adjustments in flight routines and equipment as a way to protect pilots, Dr. McGuire told Neurology Today.
And while the studies speak narrowly to neurological effects in a very select subgroup, their findings raise questions about whether there is a lower-altitude threshold for neurological effects in less healthy or neurologically compromised individuals, he said.
In one study, 94 U-2 pilots and 67 normative controls (Air Force pilots who do not fly at extreme altitudes) underwent 3T brain magnetic resonance imaging.
Dr. McGuire and colleagues found that the total number and volume of the subcortical high-density white matter lesions found within the pilots was significantly greater than those within the comparative normative data set.
"Before we did this study, the Air Force had identified a three-fold increase in episodes of neurological decompression sickness in U2 pilots in 2006 and again in 2010," Dr. McGuire said. "The Air Force is very concerned about protecting its personnel and this had never occurred before in the life of the U2 program. We started evaluating the index cases [of neurological decompression sickness] and found an increased amount of white matter hyperintensities.
"Because we had found that in the index cases, the Air Force then asked us to look at active duty U2 pilots. Over 90 percent of our pilots came voluntarily to San Antonio for imaging and again we found an increase in subcortical hyperintensities. What was interesting is that these were not at the gray-white junction, but were in the subcortex.
"The next question was: how do we know these are not an artifact of technology? So, we imaged a comparative population of Air Force pilots — also very healthy active duty military personnel but who do not fly at such extreme altitudes. What we confirmed is that our U2 pilots are significantly different from normative controls with regard to the number and volume of white matter lesions."
Dr. McGuire said the precise pathophysiology by which extreme altitude may influence the formation of lesions is unknown, but some research suggests effects on the thrombotic system or an inflammatory process.
He explained that when pilots reach extreme hypobaric altitudes nitrogen in the body will bubble possibly causing occluded vessels and ischemia. "We are not sure of the pathophysiology, but it appears we are seeing a shower of microemboli," Dr. McGuire said.
In a second study, Dr. McGuire and colleagues conducted cognitive testing on 48 high-altitude (U2) military pilots before pilot training and 85 after extreme hypobaric exposure. Sixty non-exposed military pilots (AFP) served as controls. Baseline and current cognitive tests — using the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery II and the MicroCog Assessment of Cognitive Functioning — were compared between U2 and non-exposed pilot groups, and the same tests were also compared within the same pilot.
The researchers found that U2 pilots demonstrated statistically significant differences in general cognitive proficiency, information processing accuracy, reasoning, and memory compared with Air Force pilots not exposed to extreme altitudes.
Dr. McGuire explained that as a result of the findings, pilots must now perform a mandatory "pre-breathing" exercise period before flying aimed at de-nitrogenating the body. (Previously the pre-breathing exercise period had been considered optional.) And, he said, the Air force is in the process of pressurizing U2 flight cabins, and implementing MRI screening before and after flight duty.
The studies are groundbreaking in an area that has only slim literature. A January 2010 report in the journal Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine reported a near-fatal case of neurological decompression sickness (DCS) in a U2 pilot.
"Despite the stellar safety record in aviation-related DCS since 1960, this case demonstrates that DCS remains a serious potential threat to flight operations," the researchers stated. "The potential for DCS will persist as advances in aerospace technology continue to push the limits of high altitude flight."
John Hastings, MD, a neurologist and consultant to the Federal Aviation Administration, called the two Air Force studies "interesting." He said the use of 3T MRI technology reveals many anomalies of unknown clinical import; but he said the use of a control group along with pre- and post-exposure comparisons does point to the potential clinical significance of the MRI and cognitive findings.
Peter Brugger, PhD, of the department of neurology at the University Hospital of Zurich, who has done research on neurological effects of high-altitude mountain climbing, likewise called the studies "intriguing" and said they raise interesting research questions about effects at lower altitudes.
"The pilots under study are so different from the general population, but it's possible to make inferences to more frequent conditions," he told Neurology Today.
Dr. McGuire said there is anecdotal evidence that exposure to much lower altitudes may have neurological effects. "Where is the threshold?" he wondered. "What about flying at 15,000 or 8,000 feet in a commercial airline?
"Practicing neurologists need to know that altitude can cause white matter injury without hypoxia and some impairment of executive functioning," Dr. McGuire said. "There is a question about how hypobaric you need to be, and where the threshold is if you have someone whose brain is already compromised."

This month's Pop Quiz takes place on February 27. The night is hosted by curator David Ward, who will lead a tour of the "Poetic Likeness" exhibition at 6:00 p.m. in the G Street lobby (and, we hope, drop a few trivia hints!). Trivia begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Kogod Courtyard. The questions will cover all sorts of literary icons, like T. S. Eliot, Langston Hughes, Walt Whitman, and Gertrude Stein, just to name a few. Pop Quiz can be played individually or in teams, and the top scorer will receive a prize at the end of the night.
Snacks and beverages will be available from the Courtyard Café for purchase. Here is a sneak peek at the ten-point bonus question for this month's Pop Quiz:
Robert Penn Warren (below) was a poet and novelist known for his involvement in the founding of the New Criticism literary movement. His most influential novel, All the King's Men, won a Pulitzer Prize in 1947. Vanderbilt, Warren's alma matter, named its center for humanities after him. Warren was part of what southern group of poets?
A. The Movement
B. The Fugitives

I know Halloween is just around the corner, but we're going to talk Christmas today. After all, there's only two more months left until the big day. Begin planning now for a frugal and stress-free Christmas.
Every year my goal is to have all my Christmas shopping done by Thanksgiving. I really hate the December shopping crowds, and I need to focus on other things in December. I also hate the lines at the post office in December.
My timeline looks something like this: Finish shopping by Thanksgiving. Also mail any out of town gifts by Thanksgiving. On the day after Thanksgiving, our family puts up the tree and decorates the house. I also begin addressing Christmas cards, with the intention of mailing them out the week after Thanksgiving. That leaves my December free to attend holiday parties, bake with the kids, and just enjoy the season.
Hopefully at the beginning of the year, you opened up a savings account for Christmas. If you used an online account, think about withdrawing the money, so you have it on hand to buy Christmas gifts.
Whether or not you have money in savings, this is also a good time to set a budget for Christmas. In the excitement of the season, it's easy to overspend. By writing out a budget, you can protect yourself from spending more than you can afford.
While shopping at Costco yesterday, I took a little detour through the toy section. Though I didn't buy anything, I made a mental note of possible gift ideas for the kids.
Then I browsed another section and came across a gift I knew my husband would just love! Since I had already worked out a budget and transferred my money to an easily available account, I picked it up. One less gift to buy before Thanksgiving! Looks like I might hit my goal!
How about you? What are your best tips for a frugal & stress free Christmas season?
If you like this article, please sign up for free weekly email updates.
I always keep a list of what I have budgeted for gifts for each person. I try to spend no more than I did the year before. It becomes a bit of a game for me to see if I can find something they will love that costs even less than last year's gifts. I shop a lot online to save time and make comparisons easier. Works for me!
I'm just an average mom, trying to live a frugal life and get out of debt. I write about things that have (and haven't) worked to improve my family's financial situation. What works for me may or may not work for you, and you should always consult a financial advisor before making important financial decisions.

Welcome Catholic Moms! › Forums › Religious Questions › Need advice on getting tubes tied › Reply To: Need advice on getting tubes tied
I just wanted to say that you are absolutely justified in your feelings. What you are doing is heroic. You are living the gospel HEROICALLY. And that is never easy. And the Evil One wants to stop you. He wants to destroy the HEROIC example that you are setting for your children. Because if He can do that, there will be four more people in world who believe His lies instead of the TRUTH of Gospel.
There are many ways to avoid a pregnancy, without complete abstinence, that are approved by the Church. They will all take some time and effort on your part and on the part of your husband to learn, and feel confident in. I think that what you need right now is some practical help and advice.
I would recommend, that if you aren't already sleeping with your newborn and nursing her through the night, you should be. If you aren't, you may already be fertile, but it can't hurt to sleep with her and it might keep your fertility from returning. That said, you can also start to chart all of your signs so that by cross referencing you can get a better picture of where you are. You should also make sure that you nap as much as possible, even if you have to hire a babysitter. I know that money is tight, but try asking around at church and you may find a lonely old woman who never sees her own grandchildren who might like to help. You should also do your best to eat as much fresh fruit and vegetables as possible. And your son, maybe after all the other kids have gone to bed, you could get him up and just sit with him and watch a video or read some stories, just with him. Nothing to profound, but I have found with my own children that sometimes a few minutes with mommys undivided attention can really help. And you might have to do that once a week.
My prayers are with you,

No longer viewed as a niche player in the social web space, Pinterest has harnessed both an increased user base and its exponential growth as a referring site has cemented it as a considerable force in the marketing world.
Not only can Pinterest help drive large amounts of traffic to your site, improve your social SEO, but also can have huge revenue driving and commerce advantages for businesses. Pinterest users purchase items more often and in greater quantities, spend more money, and shop more frequently than any other social network.
One immediate benefit when setting up and optimizing your business Pinterest page is improved SEO and search rankings. Here are six ways Pinterest can help boost your SEO and improve your digital marketing strategy:
>>Read more about how to optimize your social media presence for search
1. Build Backlinks to Your Website
While Pinterest can allow you to exponentially grow the viewership of content posted, it can also create a huge amount of backlinking for your site. In SEO terms, a backlink is an invaluable thing to have, as search engines create page rankings by taking into account how many outside links lead people back to your site. With proper usage of Pinterest, you easily create many of these useful backlinks to your site.
Once you've created a Pinterest account for your business, you can upload pins, inserting links into the captions and information of your posts. This means that every time someone "pins" or shares one of those posts a new backlink is created. The more repins of your content, the more backlinks you get back to your site.
This not only provides a new chance for someone to find your site, but it also gives a boost to SEO rankings. Additionally, as your content gains exposure, it can also lead to additional viral links if people like the content and link to it from their own sites or other social channels.
2. Take Advantage of Keyword Targeting
Another integral part of a solid SEO strategy is keyword targeting. In order to do this effectively, you must use keywords frequently in your content that your target audience is searching for. This increases your page rank when those keywords are searched.
Google now indexes personal Pinterest profiles and private Pinterest boards. Adding keywords to your boards increases the odds of them appearing in a search.
You can work keyword targeting into Pinterest posts as well. Use the same keywords in the descriptions of your pins, along with a link back to your website. This should help will bring your Pinterest page up in the rankings for those keywords as well, providing yet another way for people to find your content. A high ranking Pinterest page also increases the value of those backlinks, in turn boosting your SEO even further.
Like with your other social media profile pages, make sure you do not neglect to fill out your 'about' section with SEO and keywords in mind. The 200-character section is vital for SEO. Use keyword-rich text that succinctly states who you are and what you do. This enables search engines to find and group your profile, boards, and pins with the proper search results and can help your brand/business take up more real estate on that coveted first page of Google for the right keywords.
3. Link Building Using the Pin It Button
Pinterest has a "pin it" button similar to the Facebook "like" button and Twitter's "tweet" button. You can add a "pin it" button to your blog so users can share your images on Pinterest with a link back to your site. This gives you another opportunity to build backlink.
In addition, by using Postano, you can pull your Pinterest pins and boards directly into your website, and then allow users to pin that content directly to their own boards without leaving your website.

4. Improve Your Social Signals (and Rankings)
We know that social signals are factored into Google's and Bing's organic search algorithms. Pinterest provides yet another opportunity for your visitors, prospects and customers to generate social signals (Tweets, Likes, Shares, Google +1's, and now Pins). Social signals indicate to Google that people want to socialize your content with people they have relationships with, which signals that your content is relevant.
This can help improve your rankings for more of your content across the site (not just the content you chose to pin.
5. Increase Your Rankings and Prominence in Local Search
The meteoric rise of Pinterest means it will become more and more relevant to local search results. To gain the full benefit of this opportunity, you can create a board highlighting local attractions of your business' city or region. Pin images of landmarks related to your business, like your storefront. This information illustrates your connection to the area and lets local customers know where to visit and find you.
6. Gain Better Insights into Analytics for Targeting
Using Pinterest for Social SEO can also help with better reporting in your analytics. In your analytics report you can see which pieces of Pinterest content earned a referral click.
You'll be able to track people who promote your content, interact with them and map out a better promotional strategy with feedback and analytics stats from them on what kind of content works best.

In honor of National Bullying Prevention Month in October, Marvel will release seven anti-bullying variant covers by Sean Chen, Stephanie Hans & more.
Full article here.
They were going to go with the traditional pink October awareness covers but that didn't work out so well for Spider-Woman so they had to change
This is a nice gesture but... Most people who read comics are adults who do not necessarily need this kind of support.
I am actually more entertained by the idea that a cover has word balloons.
I like the covers just for the gesture alone.
Seems a bit like slacktivism. And I can hear, "And knowing is half the battle!" in the background.
Thank god for the kid in the pink shirt for stopping Cap from hitting the other one.
Hulk really looks like he's going to SMASH the bullies. I love the recycling of the Star Lord gag from the film.
I surrender to the Contest
All I see is lost opportunity...so much potential to do more with this.
Seriously, it's a really terrible cover, looks like the people were drawn separately and pasted onto that background. And Cap... yeah, you don't need to be in your bulky armoured suit, holding your shield to grab a kid bully's arm.
Anybody know what the ordering ratio for these is? To really push awareness I think it should have been "order as many as you want" but I'm not sure if Marvel do that with variants.
I would find it funny if they did this the opposite way and did variants of super villains bullying children lol.
Also I think they could of have done this with teenage heroes instead.
Also surprise theres not one of "mutants"

Epidemiologic studies have been part of the fabric of multiple sclerosis (MS) research for nearly a century. From the time when Bramwell 1 noted that the frequency of MS might vary by geographic location, environmental factors have been hypothesized as causing or triggering the onset of multiple sclerosis. Despite decades of research, however, the cause of MS remains elusive.
By far the most widely accepted hypothesis for the etiology of MS suggests that the disease is an immune-mediated disorder that occurs in response to a delayed childhood infection in a genetically susceptible individual. It further suggests that the disease is subsequently triggered by one or more insults (possibly environmental) shortly before disease onset. Cluster studies, migrant studies, case-control studies, and historical cohort studies have contributed supporting evidence for this hypothesis. 2 But which infection is responsible and what is the second trigger? It is challenging to answer these questions with epidemiologic studies. Notwithstanding the tremendous efforts of investigators, the results of the studies have often been inconclusive.
For many years, the measles virus was the candidate virus and several studies examined its possible role in the etiology of MS. Indeed, expectations were high in the research community that following the widespread use of the measles vaccination the incidence of multiple sclerosis would decline. This decline has not occurred, and recently attention has turned to the possible role of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) in the etiology of multiple sclerosis. Infection with EBV, a herpesvirus, is mild and generally asymptomatic in young children. In older children, adolescents, and adults, EBV presents as infectious mononucleosis (IM) in 50% of those who become EBV positive. Seroepidemiologic studies are consistent in reporting an increased prevalence of antibodies to EBV in MS cases (as high as 100% prevalence) as compared with healthy controls (85–95%). In a recent systematic review, Ascherio and Munch 3 combined the results of eight seroepidemiologic studies and reported an estimated odds ratio of 13.5 (95% CI = 6.3–31.4) indicating a strong association between markers of past infection with EBV and the risk of multiple sclerosis. Wandinger et al.4 reported that antibodies toward EBV, as determined by the presence of IgG antibodies to the EBNA-1 antigen (a marker of latent infection), were found in 100% of MS patients as compared with 90.1% of healthy controls. In addition, the group reported no evidence of active EBV infection in the MS patients. This latter finding supports the assertion that EBV infection precedes MS rather than being a consequence of the disease. In addition, they showed that EBV, which is known to reactivate, was more likely to be reactivated in a subgroup of MS patients undergoing exacerbations (N = 11) than those with a stable disease course (N = 8) over a period of a year. These authors also showed the specificity of the EBV findings by revealing that the prevalence of antibodies to several other viruses was not increased in the MS patients relative to the controls. Several case-control studies have been conducted in which a history of infectious mononucleosis has been assessed. These studies have been inconclusive, with only three showing evidence of an association between a history of IM and MS (Marrie and Wolfson, Multiple Sclerosis and Epstein-Barr virus: A review, 2000, unpublished manuscript). The strongest and most consistent evidence to date, however, comes from historical cohort studies, all of which have been conducted in Scandinavia. Two published studies 5,6 and one, as yet, unpublished study (Riise T, 2000, personal communication) have shown a higher than expected number of cases of MS in a cohort of individuals with infectious mononucleosis derived from the diagnosis register of the Hospital of Infectious Diseases in Göteborg, Sweden;5 a cohort of individuals with a positive Paul Bunnel test from Denmark;6 and a cohort of subjects with a positive heterophile test in Hordaland, Norway (Riise T, 2000, personal communication).
In this issue of the journal, Hernán et al.7 report the results of the first nested case-control study conducted to examine the relation between a history of infection with a variety of common viruses and the risk of multiple sclerosis. Using the data from two ongoing prospective studies, the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and the Nurses' Health Study II (NHS II), Hernán et al. report moderate associations between both a reported history of infectious mononucleosis and mumps after age 15 and the risk of multiple sclerosis. No age at onset effect for IM was found. This elegant study was conducted with methodological rigor and attention was paid to possible sources of bias inherent in case-control studies. Because this case-control study is rooted in a well-defined cohort of medical professionals, opportunities for selection bias were few and the reliability of the reported information is high. The fact that this study is limited to women does not detract from the conclusions, as no data suggest that the relation between EBV or IM and MS is modified by sex.
Is EBV a cause of MS? The evidence is not sufficient to draw that conclusion. It might be that EBV is a marker of an as yet unidentified virus that is a necessary cause of MS or that EBV itself is that necessary cause. It is clear, however, that EBV is not sufficient to cause MS and it is likely that a variety of other environmental (perhaps viral) factors act together to produce the disease. If EBV is found to be a cause of MS, this result would prompt a variety of research activities. Research into viruses that may be the final trigger would become a major focus. There is already some suggestion that respiratory tract infections 8 may "turn on" the disease. Work is underway to develop a vaccine for EBV, but, as pointed out by Ascherio and Munch, 3 caution is warranted. If the vaccine serves only to delay the time of infection with EBV then the preventative agent may do more harm than good and could result in an increase in the incidence of MS by delaying the age at onset of EBV past early childhood. This finding might also prompt more work on treatment strategies involving anti-viral drugs, although current evidence for their efficacy in MS is limited. 9
Epidemiologists have a great deal to contribute to the understanding of the etiology of this enigmatic disease. The strongest and most consistent evidence to date of the role of EBV in MS comes from historical cohort studies and the nested case-control study in this issue. Hernán et al. are to be congratulated on their creativity in using these existing prospective studies. I encourage other researchers to seek out other cohorts where similar information may have been collected to replicate their finding.

-- Justin Credible recently wrote about the Rhodes Family angle on RAW and more. Here are some highlights…
On Daniel Bryan's WWE Title Angle: "WWE is putting out a solid product, don't get me wrong, but I feel that they are going in a mundane direction. I've seen this movie before with Steve Austin. I think they pulled the trigger too soon, and I'm wondering how much patience the fans will have, waiting until Daniel Bryan, finally conquers the evil WWE machine."
On The Rhodes Family Storyline: "It was good to see the American Dream Dusty Rhodes on Raw. I dig the storyline with the Rhodes clan. I just don't like the way WWE is portraying the common wrestler. It's like the world as we know it will end, if you are to lose your job with the company. Even the announcers are joining in, saying that Cody Rhodes better use his cell phone while his service is still on."

i wasn't really sure how to write the matrices so I was looking for in the first
first row: a b
second row : -b a
Show that C^x is isomorphic to the subgroup of GL2(R) consisting of all matrices of the form:
a b
-b a such that a^2+b^2 is not 0.
I'm guessing I need to show C^x--->G given by c(a+bi)=
a b
-b a is an isomorphism.
I need to show 1-1, onto, and homomorphism.
Assume c(a+bi)=c(c+di). I need to show this implies a+bi=c+di
a b c d
-b a = -d a
I'm not sure how this implies 1-1
onto:Not sure how to show this
Let a=a+bi, b=c+di
a b c d

Our plan for today was to visit two photographic exhibits at the Corcoran Gallery, pay for our NorthWest tickets and visit another gallery. We achieved all this - but what a story.
Before we left the house we looked up NorthWest's DC address. That was our fist stop when we arrived in DC. When we inquired at the reception desk for the building we were told they had moved some time ago. So we rang NW and were told we could pay at the airport or any travel agent. As we didn't want to travel out to the airport we decided to look for a travel agency.
But first we went to the Corcoran and saw Ansel Adams exhibit which we thought was terrific. Then we saw 'Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life, 1990-2005' which did not impress Ruth who felt that while many of the photos were great shots, some were pretentious and some of the subjects were uninteresting. Also the accompanying documentation was not helpful in explaining the connection or relevance of the photos. So, after lunch we resumed our search to pay for our flight booking.
We went to walk East from Corcoran to a Visitors Centre but the area was cordoned off as George W was leaving the White House. So we took a long detour and were given directions to a nearby AAA shop. Once there we were nearly in luck. The receptionist told us that they usually handle such requests but that "the travel agent was not in today."
Our final destination was the Postal Museum. We were able to spend about an hour there, after nearly 2 hours spent finalising our plane tickets. We haven't yet built up the stamina to book our other flights. The Postal Museum was interesting. It had exhibits about the growth of the Postal service as well as an incredible collection of stamps.
Back home for another great dinner - this time treats from a Philadelphia deli.
