Recent weeks have proved Twilight star Kristen Stewart to be a lot more than your average blood-sucking girl next door. But she's long been a point of interest for the fashion set. Adored for her uncontrived, if slightly awkward, sense of style, Stewart's appeal is that she has little grasp of how beautiful she is.
Her approach to clothes is to wear them with ease instead of effort. Of course, she made an exception when posing in a ruffle-front Gucci dress for the cover of this month's Vogue. Hell, she even washed her hair. Not surprisingly, given the success of the Twilight saga, in which Stewart starred as vampire Bella Swan, her signature look has become something of a blockbuster among the Capital's junior fashion fraternity. In fact, look to any busy shopping street and you'll see dozens of K-Stew pretenders.
Fans of Stewart's sartorial appeal should look to the high street this winter where most elements from her daily outfit choices are available. Topshop, home of the skinny Baxter jean, is the place for a K-Stew-approved pair of trousers, while Zara is offering a studded boot that bears remarkable resemblance to the starlet's favourite Balenciaga style. Here, we lift the lid on Kristen Stewart's style genealogy.
In Stewart's native land of permatans and macrobiotic soup diets her tousled, five-day-old hairstyle is considered a cardinal sin but us shampoo-shy Londoners can't get enough of it. To emulate her look, avoid all styling products and view your hairdryer with contempt.
For a young actress finding her way in the bonkers world of fashion, there is no better heavyweight to have in your corner than Balenciaga's own Nicolas Ghesquière. The designer's highly conceptual approach to design is a perfect match for Stewart, who has worn the label to a host of red-carpet occasions. At his show in Paris yesterday, Stewart wore a quilted biker jacket and printed trouser from the resort line. She is also the face of Florabotanica, Balenciaga's new fragrance.
K-Stew lovers who lack the cash to splash out on Balenciaga need not panic: her style is straightforward. Somewhere between Kate Moss circa 2005 and Topshop's current grunge fest of an ad campaign, it requires skinny jeans — as washed-out as possible — and oversized outerwear. Plus a band T-shirt — the Stewart favourite is a Joy Division one.
More awkward teen than Hollywood bombshell, Stewart looks best when in her comfort zone. In Paris yesterday, she sent the fashion pack into a spin when they found her leaning idly on a radiator with her leather jacket over one shoulder — such effortlessness cannot be learned.
An advocate of sports shoes in a host of forms, the Twilight star regularly ditches her vertiginous Balenciaga sandals in favour of something more practical. The next time you pull on a £4,000 frock for an evening spent on Robert Pattison's arm (it could happen) forego the fussy sandals and stick on your Converse. Simple.
A flawless complexion forms the base of Stewart's make-up look. Perhaps in step with Bella Swan, she likes her eyeshadow dark and her lips stained with blood-red gloss.

On November 9, 2010, the European Commission presented a communication to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, and the Committee of the Regions on "Trade Policy as a Core Component of the Europe 2020 EU Strategy," by which it intends to "give new impetus to Europe's economy." One of the objectives envisaged by the Commission for 2011 is the "authorization of a green book about the possibilities of improving our export control system."
Against the background of this objective of its new trade policy, and in compliance with its duties under the present Dual-use Ordinance which includes an obligation of the Commission to verify the implementation of that provision every three years and report to the European Parliament and the Council, the Commission on June 30, 2011 published its "Green Book" on export control of so-called Dual-use Goods, i.e. goods which can be used both for civil and for military purposes. To explain the economic importance of these goods, it should be pointed out that approx. 5,000 companies in the EU trade in goods with dual-use character, and that dual-use goods contribute some 5 % to the EU export volume.
Major tools of export control are permit requirements and bans. Goods classified "sensitive" with respect to safety (goods, software, technology) are captured on a list of the Dual-use Ordinance. The EU list of goods, in turn, is based on 4 international export control regimes which have no binding character under international law.
The nuclear sector is covered in the regime of the Nuclear Suppliers Group.
The Commission plans in 2013/14 to present proposals for amending the Dual-use Ordinance. The approach revealed by the EU Commission at its information events and meetings about the Green Book is a strictly risk-based solution. For this purpose, the Commission is currently having its Joint Research Center at Ispra, Italy examine which dual-use goods are sensitive and which ones are not.

Predicting Pro Bowl futures
But history shows the NFL's elite players generally are recognizable at the very outset of their pro careers, going back all the way to draft day.
Of last year's Pro Bowl starters, 23 of 44 were first-round picks. While this season's Pro Bowl starters won't officially be announced until Jan. 8, we do know who has been voted to the honors squads, and 54 percent of the players who already know they have earned a trip to Hawaii are former first-round picks.
So it should come as no surprise that when Pro Football Weekly polished off its crystal ball to help predict which of today's young NFL players could be next in line to earn Pro Bowl invites, a great number of them are recent high draft picks.
In the following team-by-team rundown, we considered players who have yet to earn a Pro Bowl berth other than as an alternate. We also took into consideration the competition a player might face at his respective position.

The reason I ask is that I plug my iPod Shuffle into the input jack of my speakers but I then have to open the sound module to balance which sometimes changes with different music.

(NEW YORK) — Using a sperm bank can quickly break the bank. That's why a growing number of women have turned to the underground, online world of free sperm donation.
There are websites such as knowndonorregistry.com that offer a list of hundreds of men willing to donate free sperm to thousands of women eager to conceive.
"It's a weird blend of Facebook, Match.com and a traditional sperm bank," said Tony Dokoupil, a reporter who spent months investigating the subject for a Newsweek cover story. "You get all [the] medical information, about the health and fitness of this person you might procreate with."
Watch ABC's 20/20 Friday at 10 p.m. ET for more on the new online world of free sperm donation
After finding a "match" online, women and donors often arrange to meet in public places such as a coffee house where the exchange takes place. The donor generally uses a sterile cup to make the donation in the bathroom. He then hands the sample to the recipient, who can inseminate herself using an "instead cup," a disposable menstrual cup that fits onto the cervix, or she can take the sperm home or to a nearby hotel to inseminate with a drugstore syringe.
"Having a child is a big deal, and there's a lot of people out there saying, 'I don't want to have a child with somebody that I haven't talked to, that I can't meet face to face,'" said Beth Gardner, who founded the Free Sperm Donor Registry website.
Gardner also emphasized the importance of having written agreements and knowing the health of the donor. "Make sure that everybody is writing down and putting their name on what it is that they're agreeing to do," she said. "We also highly encourage — can't even say how much we encourage — STD testing."
Fertility experts and those who monitor the websites caution women to be careful about whom they are meeting on the Internet. "Out there online, not everything is as it represents itself to be," said Dr. Jessica Brown, a fertility specialist in New York who has helped dozens of women get pregnant.
It's important to, "weed out men who may be doing this for bizarre reasons who may have some type of psychiatric illness or personality disorder," she said.
Here are some of the main differences between sperm banks and free sperm donations:

On the Disney Dining Plan, you're allowed one drink, an entree, and a dessert on the counter service, or quick service, plan. Pretty straight forward, but most people still have a few questions. Here are a few of the most common:
Q: Can you exchange two counter service meals for a table service meal?
A: No. Disney is pretty strict with what they allow for table service meals.
Q: Can you use a table service credit for a counter service meal?
A: Yes. And no. Technically, it's not allowed but many cast members will let you use a table service credit at a counter service restaurant. Be prepared to be told no. Or yes.
Q: Can an adult buy a kids' meal on the plan?
A: Yes. And vice-versa. Counter service credits don't distinguish between the kids' menu and the adults' menu, so by all means, buy whatever meal you like as long as what you order fits into the plan. This isn't cheating the system, so don't worry about being dishonest here; Disney will verify this if you ask them. This means that you can get creative with your meals. Buy one regular adult meal and split it between two smaller kids or buy an adult meal for a child with a bigger appetite than the kids' meal will accomodate. Edited to add 3/17/10: This post has generated a lot of hits, email, and even a discussion on one of my favorite message boards (which didn't involve me), so I wanted to add some clarification. I'm the last person to advocate cheating the system; I get nervous using a fastpass after it's expired. So I would never suggest someone else do it. I was able to use child CS credits for adult meals in December after being informed by a CM that this was how the system worked and I also called Disney Dining (twice) in the last few days to verify that Disney doesn't distinguish between adult and kids' meals. I'm not sure if it's a glitch in the system at this point or what. I do know that a few people have reported being stopped from buying adult meals with kid meal credits, but overall, most CMs allow it and will even tell you about it. In my case, I didn't even ask, she just gave me the information. Bottom line, the system does allow it. Keep in mind that it could change at any time; if you're worried, call Disney Dining at 407-WDW-DINE. If I find ou anything new, I'll post it here and elsewhere on the blog. I'd love to hear about your experiences as well. UPDATE 7/30/10: Please check out this post for more on this issue.
Q: Can I use quick service dining in Downtown Disney?
A: Yes. In 2010, the following Downtown Disney counter service restaurants accepted the Dining Plan: Cookes of Dublin, Earl of Sandwich, FoodQuest (in Disney Quest), and the Wolfgang Puck Express. Earl of Sandwich and Wolfgang Puck Express in particular serve exceptionally good food.
Q: Does everyone on the room reservation have to be on the dining plan?
A: Yes everyone on your room reservation must be on the dining plan unless they are under three-years old. In fact, they have to be on the same dining plan, so for example, you cannot mix a quick service plan with a regular dining plan.
Q: Can I purchase the dining plan if I'm staying off Disney property.
A: No. Keep in mind that the Downtown Disney hotels on Resort Plaza, Shades of Green, and the Swan/Dolphin hotels are not Disney hotels and do not participate in the dining plan.
Q: When do I have to add the dining plan?
A: You can add it when you make your reservation or up to 72-hours in advance of check-in.
Edited to add: Thanks to Ginger for pointing this out in the comments section: Animal Kingdom's Picnic in the Park requires an adult counter service credit for each person served on this meal, so you'll need to use adult credits but since Disney doesn't distinguish between adult and kid counter service credits, you can use those kid counter service credits to buy adult meals elsewhere so everything comes out even.
For more on the dining plan, check out Disney's official page here. For a lot of general questions, including ideas on how to use the dining plan more effectively, Disboards has a very active sub-forum devoted entirely to the dining plan here. You can also check out the Passporter community dining thread here.

Small molecule mediators of cell differentiation: Tools to generate tissue from stem cells for screening applications
Issue 6 2008, Past issues / 3 December 2008 /
The development of pharmaceuticals and screening the biological activity of test compounds is a multi-staged process spanning from small molecule design and synthesis, in vitro testing, and compound evaluation in vivo using animal and human trials. The expense of this process escalates as a compound advances further into the development programme. Within each stage there are stringent criteria that must be satisfied before the decision to invest further in the compound and move its development forward is made.
Platform technology for routine three dimensional cell culture
Issue 3 2008, Past issues / 19 June 2008 /
Cell culture assays play an important role during the first stages of pharmaceutical development. The design of such in vitro models is significant and data resulting from such tests directly influences the progression of compound development. Therefore it is becoming progressively more important to design cell culture assays that are more representative of the behaviour of cells in living tissues. As a consequence, investigators are developing technology to enhance the cell culture environment and enable cells to grow in ways resembling their in vivo counterparts. This is particularly relevant to the design of culture models that enable three dimensional cell growth in vitro.

(Sound of a tap pour)
This is not a common sound to hear in The Heights. That's because the TABC still prohibits the sale of alcohol in certain sections of this well-known neighborhood. This law has been in place since 1912, before national prohibition even began. David Bush with the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance says it was the Temperance Movement that initially turned the Heights dry.
"There was a lot of concern about saloons. Honestly the Temperance movement was aimed at Working Class. Making sure you had a good sober workforce and the Houston Heights was very much a working class neighborhood at that point."
Bush says The Heights was its own city when it banned alcohol. The areas included in this ban form kind of an L-shape. He explains:
"The dry area is north of White Oak Bayou and extends up to 22nd street. Oxford is the eastern boundary Herkimer is the western boundary. But then there's another section between 16th and 26th st, Durham is the western boundary and then between 22nd and 26th st, Yale is the eastern boundary."
Bush said when it later became a part of the city of Houston it voted to keep prohibition in place. And he says it still stands to this day, well sort of. Mitch Cohen is the founder of First Saturday Arts Market on 19th street. Slap bang in the middle of dry Heights. Cohen recently came across a law that will get that area a little wet this weekend.
"The law changed in 2009 that allowed Texas wineries that make Texas grown grapes or at least 75% to sell their wine anywhere in the state of Texas with a festival permit."
So Cohen plans to mix alcohol with art, starting tomorrow evening. His accomplice and the people with the permit to sell alcohol is Vintner's Own Winery. A winery just on the edge of The Heights. Vintner's supplies wine where Texas grapes are in the majority. Rion Enroth is with Vintner's Own and says they're excited to be involved in this event.
"Main thing is I really like the concept of bringing something that's heights-based to the people in the Heights."
So will First Saturday Arts founder Mitch Cohen make a habit of introducing alcohol to an area that banned it nearly a hundred years ago?
"I really am not a proponent for having the dry laws repealed in the Heights. I think it kind of leaves a little bit of charm."
Whether prohibition proponents notice the popping of corks tomorrow on 19th street remains to be seen. But in Cohen's case one thing is for sure, where there's a law there's a loophole. From the KUHF Newslab, I'm Edel Howlin.

Nonverbal Communication: Where Nature Meets Culture. Ullica Segerstr?le and Peter Molnár, eds. 314 pp. Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 1997. $29.95.
Everyone will find something of interest in this eclectic volume of psychophysiology, economics, ethology and history, all of it documenting the close ties between nature and culture in human affairs. The book emerged from a 1992 conference at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Bielefeld, Germany. The conference organizers—also this collection's editors—enticed a diverse group of 20 international scholars to share their views. Indeed, the volume's geographic reach may have helped produce its defining characteristic, an intellectual miscellany that can be its most intriguing yet most frustrating feature.
Segerstr?le and Molnár unabashedly acknowledge their intent to persuade readers that, rather than being opposing influences, biological and social determinants of behavior often shape one another. Human beings are among the many animals, for instance, that are born with certain hard-wired capacities for intelligible displays that signal their emotions. However, one's upbringing encourages voluntary control of such responses, as culture dictates which displays are acceptable in which situations. Adult behavior emerges from the combined, interactive influences of nature and culture, with the distinctions between them sometimes fuzzy.
The authors cover such universals in nonverbal human behavior as facial expressions and social grooming; cultural pressure on the evolution of nonverbal behavior; and nonverbal behavior as both embodiment and cause of cultural patterns. On one hand, the book's breadth is exciting, its reach invigorating. Most of the authors describe their own research—from high-tech measurement of muscular tension in the face to patient, painstaking observation of primitive cultures. Others offer informed speculation on such things as our ancestors' decision to descend from trees and on the modern-day difficulty of distinguishing good people from bad.
Although the book is an intellectual smorgasbord, as with any good buffet, not all of the dishes will be to everyone's liking. Only a reader with the broadest intellectual sympathies is likely to find commentaries on bird calls, 10th century monastic sign language, smiling in infants, culture or the lack thereof in capuchin monkeys and autonomic reactions to angry faces to be equally compelling. And only the least parochial scientist is likely to find the analytic methods represented here to be equally persuasive. In my view, the book admirably establishes nonverbal behavior as a focal point of the dynamic interplay of biological and social origins of behavior. Although its eclecticism is attractive, its diversity reduces its cohesion and coherence. Many readers may wish for larger portions of their favorite dish.—Rowland S. Miller, Psychology, Sam Houston State University

Combining classic features with current design aesthetics, Visvim presents the Americana Deck shoe. With so much hype surrounding the wide array of boat shoes coming out recently, even from some labels that have never created such a silhouette before. This particular model uses Horween leather, which comes from the 100 year old traditional American tannery, thus the Americana title. Visvim's beautiful interpretation of this shoe will become available this coming weekend in a brown and black colorway at the F.I.L store along with the rest of the Fall/Winter 2008 collection.

Verizon Names Updated Internet Tiers "FiOS Quantum," Releases Pricing
Tiffany Kaiser
June 18, 2012 1:21 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
It not only more than doubled the speeds of many of its tiers, but the broadband and telecommunications giant also added two new tiers to the list as well
Verizon has finally released prices for its
updated FiOS Internet tiers
, and gave its new service a name -- FiOS Quantum.
FiOS Quantum not only more than doubled the speeds of many of its tiers, but the broadband and telecommunications giant also added two new tiers to the list as well.
Verizon said its entry-level options would remain the same, such as the 15/5 Mbps, 25/25 Mbps, 35/35 Mbps, 50/20 Mbps and 150/35 Mbps tiers, but its updated
FiOS Internet tiers
will consist of 50/25 Mbps and 150/65 download/upload speeds. The two new tiers feature 75/35 Mbps or 300/65 Mbps speeds, where the 300/65 tier is double that of the current FiOS Internet top speed (which is 150/35 Mbps).
Now, Verizon has released pricing for its FiOS Quantum Internet services.

News Media, Press Inquiries and Media Kit Releases
Business Management Daily has long been a premier online resource featuring the best, most-insightful articles and information on best-practices leadership, people management, human resources, employment law, administrative professionals, office management, office communication and office technology.
Our expert writers, editors, bloggers and contributors are seasoned veterans with years of practical experience. Their articles contain actionable, powerful proven tips that get results
News media interested in arranging an interview with one of our editors or seeking more information about any of our business newsletters, should contact media relations at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Many professions, including Human Resources, require continuing education to keep employees up-to-date on the latest workplace rules and rulings as well as the most effective HR strategies. With HRCI-approved audio recordings, professionals can work toward recertification at their convenience—from home, while commuting or, yes, even while walking the dog via MP3 or CD player. (Although juggling the plastic bag and pooper-scooper could make it difficult to take notes!)
Is there a Weiner in your workplace? Business Management Daily offers Ex-Rep. Weiner Social Media Training
Even as the public continues to wonder: "What was he thinking?!" It is clear that former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner has plenty of company in making social media mistakes (including a flight attendant, IBM employee, job applicant and a crime reporter, to name a few). As more workplaces are dealing with embarrassing—and legally risky—online behaviors, Business Management Daily new webinar provides answers to employers and HR departments on how they can protect themselves from social media mistakes, misjudgments and legal risks.
Jerry Seinfeld once pointed out, "If surveys show that Americans' No. 1 fear is public speaking and their No. 2 fear is death… that means that at a funeral, the average American would rather be in the casket than doing the eulogy!" All kidding aside, you can't let the fear of public speaking affect your ability to effectively sell your ideas. Instead, ask yourself, "What would Steve Jobs do?"
On a shoestring budget? No need to order up an expensive round of paintball to gain the benefits of proven team building exercises. A new report—17 Team Building Ideas from Business Management Daily—offers free, effective team building ideas you can choose from and try at your very next meeting. Help your employees reach their state of optimal challenge and "flow" with this inspiring new report.
Supervisors and managers don't need to become certified mediators to settle disputes and avoid lawsuits. They just need to understand some basics about human behavior and be aware that all employees bring their personal histories to the workplace. Good supervisors empower employees to resolve most disputes on their own, but also know when to step in to avoid potential legal issues. BMD's new free report explains how.

David Letterman has come under fire recently for having sex with employees of his late-night CBS talk show. But while Letterman may be guilty of bad judgment (he's unlikely to make any Top 10 Lists of good bosses), does his misbehavior rise to the level of sexual harassment?
Communication strategies help managers build productive teams. A recent study says that 40% of managers in the United States are considered "bad bosses" by their employees. Yet most managers assume that their relationships with their employees are running smoothly. Obviously, some of those bosses are wrong …
Without deadlines, employees flounder. They can't be aware of the urgency or priorities of a project unless their supervisors tell them. Following are four tips to help supervisors set realistic deadlines for their employees:

The scrap metal recycling firm Industrial Services of America Inc. (ISA), headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, has received a $3 million equity investment from Recycling Capital Partners LLC (RCP) and a $17.8 million credit facility from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association.
RCP is an investment entity principally owned by Daniel Rifkin, the founder and CEO of MetalX LLC, a scrap metal recycling company headquartered in Waterloo, Indiana. Rifkin is the former president of OmniSource Corp., a large scrap metal firm that was acquired by Steel Dynamics in 2007.
ISA says RCP's equity investment delivers significant strategic value, providing capital from one of the most respected names in the scrap metal industry.
RCP's investment includes the purchase of 857,143 shares of ISA's common stock. In addition, RCP received a five-year warrant to purchase an additional 857,143 shares of common stock at a price of $5 per share. In connection with the investment, RCP currently is entitled to designate one member to the company's board of directors. ISA also granted RCP registration rights with respect to the common stock and certain rights of first refusal with respect to additional equity investments in the company.
"The entire ISA team is energized by the resources and experience that RCP brings to the company," says Sean Garber, ISA president, "which allow us to pursue our growth strategy and other initiatives. With a stronger balance sheet, we expect to focus on building value for shareholders, This is truly a game-changing moment in ISA's history."
"We are very pleased to have completed this investment in ISA and believe that the combination of the equity investment, the new credit facility and dynamic new leadership will stimulate the company's growth and performance. This investment supports our view that this industry presents viable opportunities for long-term growth," says Rifkin.
Additionally, ISA closed on a $17.8 million credit facility with Wells Fargo. The new credit facility includes a $15 million revolving line of credit and a $2.8 million equipment term loan. The new credit facility replaces ISA's existing loan.
"We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our financing efforts," says Orson Oliver, chairman and CEO of ISA. "We entertained proposals from several well-known lenders and equity investors but thought the strategic fit of RCP and the creative approach of Wells Fargo distinguished these partners in our search. We are extremely pleased to know that ISA is on sound financial footing and capitalized for future growth."
In related news, ISA has appointed three new members to its board: William Yarmuth, Vincent Tyra and Sean Garber.
Yarmuth is chairman and CEO of Almost Family Inc., a Louisville-based provider of home health services. Tyra is president of ISCO Industries, a customized piping solutions provider, also based in Louisville. Garber is president of Algar Inc., a company specializing in the sale of new and used auto parts as well as in automobile and metal recycling. The company has three locations in Kentucky and one in Missouri.
Additionally, as part of a previously announced management services agreement between Algar and ISA, Algar is providing ISA with day-to-day senior executive level operating management supervisory services and serves as president of ISA.
ISA also reports that Alan Gildenberg has resigned from the board.

Cardiac Hemodynamic Monitoring for the Management of Heart Failure in the Outpatient Setting
DESCRIPTIONA variety of outpatient cardiac hemodynamic monitoring devices have been developed that are intended to improve quality of life and reduce morbidity for patients with heart failure by decreasing episodes of acute decompensation. Monitors can identify physiologic changes that precede clinical symptoms and thus allow early intervention to prevent decompensation. These devices operate through a variety of mechanisms, including implantable pressure sensors, thoracic bioimpedance measurement, inert gas rebreathing, and estimation of left ventricular end diastolic pressure by arterial pressure during Valsalva maneuver.
Patients with chronic heart failure are at risk of developing acute decompensated heart failure, often requiring hospital admission. Patients with a history of acute decompensation have the additional risk of future episodes of decompensation, and death. Reasons for the transition from a stable, chronic state to an acute, decompensated state include disease progression, as well as acute events such as coronary ischemia and dysrhythmias. While precipitating factors are frequently not identified, the most common preventable cause is non-compliance with medication and dietary regimens. Strategies for reducing decompensation, and thus the need for hospitalization, are aimed at early identification of patients at risk for imminent decompensation. Programs for early identification of heart failure are characterized by frequent contact with patients to review signs and symptoms with a healthcare provider and with education or adjustment of medications as appropriate. These encounters may occur face-to-face in the office or at home, or via transmission telephonically or electronically of symptoms and conventional vital signs, including weight.
Precise measurement of cardiac hemodynamics is often employed in the intensive care setting to carefully manage fluid status in acutely decompensated heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and Doppler ultrasound are noninvasive methods for monitoring cardiac output on an intermittent basis for the more stable patient, but are not addressed in this policy. A variety of biomarkers and radiologic techniques may be utilized in the setting of dyspnea when the diagnosis of acute decompensated heart failure is uncertain.
A number of novel approaches have been investigated as techniques to measure cardiac hemodynamics in the outpatient setting. It is postulated that real-time values of cardiac output or left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) will supplement the characteristic signs and symptoms and improve the clinician's ability to intervene early to prevent acute decompensation. Four methods are reviewed here: thoracic bioimpedance, inert gas rebreathing, arterial waveform during Valsalva maneuver, and implantable pressure monitoring devices.
LVEDP Estimation Methods
Pulmonary Artery Pressure Measurement to Estimate LVEDP
Arterial Pressure During Valsalva Maneuver to Estimate LVEDP
Thoracic Bioimpedance
Inert Gas Rebreathing
Multiple thoracic impedance measurement devices that do not require invasive placement have been cleared for marketing by the FDA through the 510(k) process because FDA determined that this device was substantially equivalent to existing devices for use for peripheral blood flow monitoring. The table below includes a representative list of devices but is not meant to be comprehensive (FDA product code: DSB).
Noninvasive Thoracic Impedance Plethysmography Devices
In 2007, the NEXFIN HD™ Continuous Noninvasive Hemodynamic Monitor (BYMEYE, now Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) which uses an inflatable finger cuff with a built-in photoelectric plethysmograph that calculates estimated cardiac output from continuous blood pressure monitoring, was cleared for marketing by FDA through the 510(k) process. Other noninvasive monitors that derive cardiac output estimates from measured parameters exist, but not all are designed to be used in the outpatient setting.
In addition, several manufacturers market thoracic impedance measurement devices integrated into implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardioverter defibrillator devices, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices. With the integrated devices, the electrical resistance of tissue to flow of current is measured using a vector from the right ventricular coil on the lead in the right side of the heart to the implanted cardiac devices; changes in bioimpedance reflect intrathoracic fluid status and are evaluated based on a computer algorithm. They include the CorVue® Thoracic Impedance Monitoring feature (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN) which is integrated in St. Jude Medical's Unify, Fortify, and Quadra family of cardiac rhythm devices, and the OptiVol® Fluid Status Monitor (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN), which is integrated into multiple Medtronic cardiac rhythm devices. In 2012, the CorVue device was cleared for marketing by FDA through a premarket approval (PMA) supplement, and, previously (2008), the OptiVol Fluid Status Monitor's integration into other devices was cleared for marketing by FDA through multiple PMA supplements.
Inert Gas Rebreathing Devices
Noninvasive LVEDP Measurement Devices
"The VeriCor is indicated for use in estimating non-invasively, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP). This estimate, when used along with clinical signs and symptoms and other patient test results, including weights on a daily basis, can aid the clinician in the selection of further diagnostic tests in the process of reaching a diagnosis and formulating a therapeutic plan when abnormalities of intravascular volume are suspected. The device has been clinically validated in males only. Use of the device in females has not been investigated."
FDA product code: DXN.
Implantable Pulmonary Artery Pressure Measurement Devices
Several additional devices that monitor cardiac output through measurements of pressure changes in the PA or right ventricular outflow tract have been investigated in the research setting but have not received FDA approval. These include the Chronicle® implantable continuous hemodynamic monitoring device (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN), which includes a sensor implanted in the right ventricular outflow tract and, and the ImPressure® device (Remon Medical Technologies, Caesara, Israel), which includes a sensor implanted in the PA.
Note: This policy only addresses use of these techniques in ambulatory care and outpatient settings.
POLICYIn the ambulatory care and outpatient setting, cardiac hemodynamic monitoring for the management of heart failure utilizing thoracic bioimpedance, inert gas rebreathing, arterial pressure during Valsalva maneuver, and implantable direct pressure monitoring of the pulmonary artery is considered investigational.
POLICY EXCEPTIONSFederal Employee Program (FEP) may dictate that all FDA-approved devices, drugs or biologics may not be considered investigational and thus these devices may be assessed only on the basis of their medical necessity.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.
This policy refers only to the use of stand-alone cardiac output measurement devices that are designed to be used in ambulatory care and outpatient settings. The use of cardiac hemodynamic monitors or intrathoracic fluid monitors that are integrated into other implantable cardiac devices, including implantable cardioverter defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, and cardiac pacing devices, is addressed in the Biventricular Pacemakers (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) for the Treatment of Heart Failure medical policy.
Investigative is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized as a generally accepted standard of good medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and; therefore, is not considered medically necessary. For the definition of Investigative, "generally accepted standards of medical practice" means standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature generally recognized by the relevant medical community, and physician specialty society recommendations, and the views of medical practitioners practicing in relevant clinical areas and any other relevant factors. In order for equipment, devices, drugs or supplies [i.e, technologies], to be considered not investigative, the technology must have final approval from the appropriate governmental bodies, and scientific evidence must permit conclusions concerning the effect of the technology on health outcomes, and the technology must improve the net health outcome, and the technology must be as beneficial as any established alternative and the improvement must be attainable outside the testing/investigational setting.
POLICY HISTORY11/11/2010: Approved by Medical Policy Advisory Committee.
08/11/2011: Policy reviewed; no changes.
09/25/2012: Policy reviewed; no changes.
05/07/2013: Removed deleted CPT codes 0104T and 0105T from the Code Reference section.

Chapter 5
It was a brilliant day. The green rolling pasture seemed to stretch into heaven itself as it
embraced the wide blue sky in the distant horizon. Bertha, with basket in hand, took in a deep
breath of sonorous content as she approached the wooden rail fence. Jim had noticed her
approach and was now casually resting against the fence with his big cowboy boot on the bottom
rail, and his elbows on the top. He was the quintessential cowboy, from his brimmed hat and
checkered shirt down to his snakeskin boots, wrangler jeans, and oversized oval belt buckle. He
was patiently waiting while chewing on a straw.
Bertha pulled her eyes away from Jim as she felt that shiver. That now familiar pang she felt
every time she met up with the younger man but never dared admit. How could she? Not only
was she five years older than the thirty-five year old Jim, she was a married woman who loved her
husband dearly. She shook off the feeling, but still swung her right arm through her charcoal black

Dave Price, a road builder and baker who moved to Baldwin Township in 1978, has a bone to pick with lawmakers who, in 2008, made it harder to qualify for the state's Green Acres program. "It's all about money," says Price, whose yearly tax on 15 acres has jumped from $46 to $460. "It's about building up the tax base. The county wants to divide everything up and sell it and develop it."
Green Acres was established forty years ago to protect farmers in areas of rapid development. The program gives qualifying landowners a reduced tax rate in order to mitigate the effects of growth and rising land values. This makes it easier for farmers to hang onto their land instead of allowing it to be developed.
Until recently, the program was fairly easy to qualify for. A landowner had only to earn a small amount of income from a property in order for it to be deemed agricultural–a standard that could be met, say, by chopping down some trees and selling wood. But the new language, which took effect in 2009, specifically excludes, "non-productive acres such as sloughs, woodlands and wetlands that are not used for agricultural production."
That description fits an awful lot of land in sandy-soiled Baldwin Township, which is more conducive to Christmas-tree farming than raising corn or soybeans. To some degree, Green Acres was a force for preservation in Baldwin, which has erupted since the mid-1990s with houses and cul-de-sacs. "This will make more people sell their land for development," Price asserts. "Because, why not?"
In response to complaints about the changed law, in 2009, the state created the Rural Preserve program, which offers a similar tax break on property that no longer qualifies for Green Acres. Landowners must gain approval from the county and agree to follow a conservation management plan for ten years in order to reap tax benefits starting in 2011.
Green Acres is just one of the forces determining how Baldwin Township might change in the future. What's been your experience with it? Have your taxes gone up because of changes to the Green Acres law? Will higher taxes push you to sell your property? Will you enroll in the Rural Preserve program?

All 48 Rugby World Cup matches will be screened on multiple big screens at Auckland's Queens Wharf, Rugby World Cup Minister Murray McCully says.
Work on the wharf was almost complete, on time and within budget, he said.
The wharf, which has been described by the Government as "party central", will be open every day of the tournament with free access.
"New Zealanders and visitors will be able to watch the rugby on big screens, enjoy free concerts by top Kiwi bands and view displays of New Zealand's creativity, innovation and ingenuity," Mr McCully said.
The highlights will include an official Rugby World Cup fan zone, which would screen all 48 matches live on big screens, a series of live concert, and the giant globe-trotting Tourism New Zealand rugby ball that was a prominent part of the last tournament in France.
The wharf's new building, named The Cloud, will host a series of events showcasing New Zealand business and industry innovation.
"From a commercial point of view, the food and beverage industries, the boat builders, the fashion design people, the film makers will all have their chance to use this space. There will be an international audience here in September and October," Mr McCully said.
The wharf will also host the Real New Zealand Festival, which will feature live local acts including Opshop, The Feelers, The Black Seeds, Katchafire, Don McGlashan, Greg Johnson, Bella Kalolo, Moana and the Tribe, Tami Neilson and I Am Giant.
Mr McCully said more acts were being secured but he was confident the line-up would display the best of New Zealand music.
The giant rugby ball was also a welcome addition, he said.
"It has always received good feedback and now New Zealanders will be able to enjoy the display during the RWC."
What would happen to The Cloud after the World Cup Would be up to the Waterfront Development Agency and there were no plans to send it to Christchurch, as has been suggested.
"The Waterfront Development Agency has told us that they want us to keep it here and use it for events. The commitment we've given is it's here for as long as the Auckland Waterfront Development Agency wants it: they're our partner in the ownership of the site and if they can use it, they can have it."
Mr McCully said he was not concerned about ticket sales, which have been slower than predicted.
"We've still got quite a few tickets to sell, but I'm comfortable that we're looking pretty good.
"I'm focused on Australia as a market where we can be more active now. For those people it is not a long trip and they were always going to be a market we focused on and we'll be doing that now, in the last phase before Rugby World Cup 2011."
Auckland Mayor Len Brown said the daily programme would be built around the tournament's 48 matches.
Shed 10 would be the heart of the fan zone, but the wharf's flexible spaces would allow it to expand outdoors and into The Cloud for the biggest matches.
"Queens Wharf will be the country's biggest official fan zone and the best place in New Zealand to watch the matches live on screen," Mr Brown said.
"Whether or not you have tickets to matches you can still be a part of RWC 2011 at Queens Wharf with all the action on screen and official merchandise available on site."
"Standing here in Shed 10, this is amazing. This was a dingy hole and look at it now - they are really starting to get it shaped-up.
Sponsors including ANZ, Heineken, Brancott Estate and DHL will also have exhibitions.
Further announcements from other sponsors and more details of activities were expected in the near future.

st: Breslow-Day test - meta-analysis
Wed, 17 May 2006 01:28:41 -0300
Hello, everyone.
I have a problem when performing my meta-analysis:
Instead of Q-Statistic, I would like to use the option "BRESLOW' to
perform the Breslow-Day test for homogeneity of the odds ratio.
However, my "METAN" command is not working.
for example:
metan a b c d, or breslow random
gives that the syntax is invalid r(198).
Does anyone know what is going on?
Thanks for any help.

I'm sorry, this trumps Larfleeze as a retail selection why?
The Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex has photos of Mattel's upcoming DC Universe vampire Batman as well as a New 52 Darkseid photo that would seem to confirm Big Bad Toy Store's earlier image as being correct.
As much as I like that we'll be getting a vampiric Batman, I really have to question Mattel's thought process. Poison Ivy, one of the most quintessential Batman rogues (who has appeared in numerous Batman cartoons, games, and even a movie!), is relegated to an online selection yet another dubious Batman variation will be making its way to retail. While I understand that it's essential to have versions of Batman available at all times, a vampire Batman is still an odd (albeit cool) choice.
Vampire Batman seems to recycle bits from other skinny, tall molds. However, this is the first time we've seen those wings and the head-sculpt is also brand-new. I'd like to say that I won't be buying yet another version of Batman but I find this one rather tempting. Interestingly enough, he's listed in the story as being a part of the DC Unlimited line rather than the Batman Unlimited line although I expect that it's probably a mistake.
The New 52 Darkseid had been leaked last November, but this photo is the first official image of the figure. That said, the design is identical to the one we've already seen so anybody hoping for a re-tool is out of luck. Darkseid features a very top-heavy design and seems to incorporate bits from Mattel's Masters of the Universe Classics line. Despite its shortcomings, Mattel's New 52 Darkseid may still warrant a pick-up.
At any rate, the big question that I imagine will be on most of your minds is what outlandish Batman tweak that we may see next. Pirate Batman? Cave Batman? Cowboy Batman? Possibly a Batman pretender like the Jason Todd Batman or the Two-Face Batman? How about Batzarro? The possibilities are endless.

07/14/11 – TheBlaze.com – Four Catholic Charities regional groups have been granted the right continue their adoption and foster program services in Illinois for at least another month thanks to Judge John Schmidt's decision to refuse allowing the state to cut funds based off the organization's resistance to placing children with gay and unwed couples. Chicago Tribune:
"The judge set Aug. 15 for a full-scale hearing. In the meantime, he said, children in Catholic Charities' care will not be shifted to other social service agencies because that could risk 'irreparable injury.'
Catholic Charities argued the state's interpretation of the civil union law is discriminatory because it would require placing children with gay or unwed couples. Such an action would violate religious protections built into the law, said attorney Tom Brejcha, who represented the group."
The move comes after the state's decision two days earlier to decline renewing a five decade relationship with the organization that serves nearly 2,000 foster children and their caseworkers.
"It's a surprise. But it's also very disturbing. The impact on the [nearly 2,000] children in Catholic Charities care will be catastrophic," said a lawyer representing the Catholic Charities to the Chicago Tribune Monday.
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services rejected renewing contracts with the Catholic Charities in the diocese of Peoria, Joliet and Springfield along with the Catholic Social Services of Illinois because "your agency has made it clear that it does not intend to comply with the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act."

HOUSEHOLDERS in Tarbert are 'outraged' after a local energy provider said it would not provide compensation to people that had been left without power for four days.

Kankakee Valley REMC has reported over 7000 people without power in Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Starke, and Pulaski counties after the afternoon storm that tore through the area on Friday. KVREMC dispatched crews yesterday to affected areas to begin restoring power. Causing the outages are five substations that have been reported down due to transmission feeds from NIPSCO being out as well as broken poles and downed wires.
Starke County Commissioner Kathy Norem says the hardest hit area seems to be around Bass Lake, where boats were reportedly flipped over in the water and even tossed up on land. Several trees were felled and Norem says cleanup crews have their work cut out for them.
"The hardest hit areas seem to be in California Township around Bass Lake and North Bend Township, also around Bass Lake. The crews have been out, the highway department is out, the Sheriff's Department has been out, but there is a lot of damage in that particular area and it's going to be a long cleanup," Norem said.
