Tim Sherwood said today there is a "zero per cent" chance of Tottenham signing any new players before the transfer window shuts.
Spurs have been linked with Dimitar Berbatov, Nani and Yevhen Konoplyanka this month.
Chairman Daniel Levy is renowned for his love of an 11th-hour deal, but Sherwood ruled out the possibility of any late incomings at White Hart Lane.
When asked what percentage he would put on Spurs signing anyone before the Friday night deadline of 2300, the Tottenham manager said: "Zero."
When asked if he was interested in signing former Spurs forward Berbatov, Sherwood insisted: "I like him and think he's a very good player, but we've got strikers here who can do a very good job.
On Konoplayanka, who has been pursued by Liverpool, Sherwood responded: 'I don't think there's any mileage in Konoplayanka."
He also joked: 'Lionel Messi would be great, wouldn't he? It would be great if we could get him at the 11th hour. Fans always want to sign strikers, but we signed seven players in the summer - not a lot of teams did that - so we're OK.'
The most expensive January deadline day signings - year by year
The most expensive January deadline day signings - year by year
1/11 2003 - Jonathan Woodgate (£9m)
Bobby Robson announced that he had lured the 'perfect' signing to St. James' Park after sealing Jonathan Woodgate for £10million from Leeds. Woodgate said he hoped his new club would push for the league title in the years to come, but ultimately left after just 18 months, joining Real Madrid for £13million.
2/11 2004 - Jermain Defoe (£7m + Bobby Zamora)
Jermain Defoe later admitted he was advised badly when pushing through a move away from West Ham. Defoe has branded the decision a 'massive mistake' after feeling the backlash from leaving a club he still harbours a lot of love for. The £7million move which saw Bobby Zamora go the other way was finalised after a 21-year-old Defoe has been linked with Arsenal.
3/11 2005 - Nicolas Anelka (£7m)
Manchester City sold Nicolas Anelka to Fenerbahce at a substantial loss, after signing him for £13million two and a half years earlier. His £7million move to Turkey would not keep him away from the Premier League for long, however, as he returned to England's top flight with Bolton 18 months later.
4/11 2006 - Robert Earnshaw (3.5m)
Norwich City smashed their club-record fee to bring Robert Earnshaw to Carrow Road in January 2006. The transfer remains the only time a club outside England's top tier has paid the most for a player on deadline day. Earnshaw went on to score 27 goals for the Canaries before moving on to Derby County in 2007.
5/11 2007 - Matthew Upson (£6m)
West Ham signed Matthew Upson from Birmingham City following the Blues' relegation to the Championship the previous May. Eventually paying £6million, an initial offer of £4million was rejected by the St. Andrew's club. The Hammers released Upson in 2011 following their own relegation to the second tier and he joined Stoke City on a free transfer.
6/11 2008 - Afonso Alves (£11m)
Middlesbrough launched a strange £11million bid for Afonso Alves in January 2008, appearing to pay drastically over the odds for the Brazilian. Their financially-backed faith was not restored by Alves who bagged just 10 goals for the club before he upped sticks and moved to Qatar 18 months later.
7/11 2009 - Andrey Arshavin (£13m)
Andrey Arshavin moved to Arsenal in January 2009 after impressing for Russia at Euro 2008. His success for the Gunners was limited but he will be remembered for a famous four-goal display in a thrilling 4-4 match against Liverpool at Anfield months after his move. He returned to former club Zenit on a free transfer in 2013.
8/11 2010 - Adam Johnson (£7m)
After Middlesbrough dropped to the Championship in 2009, Adam Johnson had many Premier League suitors who were desperate to acquire his services. Manchester City won the race but he tumbled down the pecking order among the bank-busting talent at Etihad Stadium. Johnson lost his England place before he was sold for £10million to Sunderland in 2012.
9/11 2011 - Fernando Torres (£50m)
Chelsea broke the British transfer record when they brought Fernando Torres to Chelsea from Liverpool for £50million in 2011. Despite since winning the FA Cup, Champions League and Europa League with the Blues he has failed to justify his hefty price-tag - scoring just 19 goals in 67 league appearances. Andy Carroll moved to Liverpool for £35million on the same day in a record-breaking window.
10/11 2012 - Kevin de Bruyne (£6.7m)
Kevin de Bryune joined Chelsea in January 2012 before he was immediately loaned back to Genk. He never found his feet at Chelsea, spending the following season on loan at Werder Bremen before again returning to find himself at the bottom of the Stamford Bridge pecking order under Jose Mourinho. De Bruyne ended his troubled Chelsea career when he secured a £17million to Wolfsburg in January 2014.
11/11 2013 - Christopher Samba (£12.5m)
Harry Redknapp signed Christopher Samba from Anzhi Makhachkala for £12.5million as he desperately sought to strengthen Rangers' relegation-threatened squad. Despite Redknapp's best efforts the west London club still dropped out of the top tier and Samba was criticised for some underwhelming displays. The 29-year-old moved back to Anzhi for a similar price following QPR's relegation.

I'm using SpiceWorks on my home network. I have an Apple TV2 on my network but the login credentials I provide via Manage Accounts are not working. The error message is
Socket Error. Make sure SSH is running on 'apple-tv'
I can login to the device using PuTTY so I know the credentials are correct (I've tried multiple times). By default SSH uses port 22 on the ATV2 which is what SpiceWorks is also using so I'm baffled.
Any ideas?

AppleTV is not officially supported. Are you logging in as root? What is your default shell?

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Normally, BASH is needed. Other shells will fail. Can you change the default shell to BASH and try that way? You might need to install BASH. Traditionally, older versions (not old, just not the most recent) of OSX, even on the normal computers, didn't use BASH by default and would fail for scanning. So that is a very likely culprit here.

I had a mini tt and lipo on my ab + flanks 5 wks ago. I notice a considerable difference in my shape however I still cannot fit into my jeans that I could fit into before the surgery, I measure my tummy every morning and the swelling does not seem to be going down. I exercises as per docs recs, have been eating super healthy,I am having a few alcoholic drinks per week and I am wondering if this ishindering my recovery process? I do not smoke and am very healthy before and after my op?
Could Alcohol Be Hindering My Recovery?
Doctor Answers 3
Alcohol and Recovery after Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Congratulations on having undergone the tummy tuck operation. At this stage, it is still too early to evaluate the end results of surgery; swelling may persist normally for several additional months and may take up to one year for the skin to fully "re drape". It is unlikely that a moderate consumption of alcohol is "hindering the recovery process" but you should be careful about the quantity/quality of caloric intake (generally speaking).
If you have specific concerns about the speed of your recovery, you will be best off following up with your plastic surgeon for in-person examination.
Best wishes.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/Procedure_tummyTuck.htm
You are still very swollen it takes 6-12 months for the swelling to completely subside. You should follow up with your PS and review your concerns. We don't believe that alcohol can be hurting your results.
Could Alcohol Be Hindering My Recovery
A few drinks a week should not have any harmful impact on healing and recovery. It is not uncommon for patients to feel (and be) larger after surgery than before, and the time that it takes for the swelling to resolve varies considerably. Most can be back in their jeans by a month, but not all.
Continue healthy eating and exercise, and the swelling will resolve. Stay in contact with your surgeon to be certain that there is no fluid collection that is adding to your girth.
Thanks for your question, best wishes.

I own and operate a video production company. I love music, no matter the genre and basically the videos we produce are created specifically for music, especially old school. Music has been in my life as far back as I can remember. Music keeps me sane.The music industry has been getting on my nerves because they have become so sensitive with their products that CD'S should come with an expiration date. However, I am glad to see that everyone is basically on the same page when it comes to these idiots. I understand that they have to make money and I do not mind paying for my music; but paying every which way is not up ! I just want to enjoy my music the way I use to without all the lawyers, judges, agents, etc. Come on we are the people that keep the money coming. I found some very interesting articles about how they really feel about us; please read.
Ringtone ruckus - Digital rights group battles music industry over royalties claim
A digital rights group is contesting a U.S. music industry association's assertion that royalties are due each time a mobile phone ringtone is played in public.
7/2/2009 12:21:00 PM By: IDG News Service
When I read this one, the visual that popped up in my head was meters on the cell phones. Are they kidding me? That assertion is totally ridiculous! They need to share the wealth and hand over what they are smoking.
The Corporate Music Industry Is Dead
After decades of manipulating artists, radio, and music fans, it seems safe to say that death has come to the corporate record labels. Variety reported last week that "overall music sales during the Christmas shopping season were down an astounding 21% from last year." No industry can survive a drop like that, especially on the heels of a similarly terrible year and decade. Trouble for the big labels will continue to accelerate as big box stores like Best Buy and Walmart further cut the shelf space that they devote to CDs.
Expect to see the four major labels slashing their operations over the next few months. These labels will probably make a some last gasp moves: dramatic online music giveaways and desperate attempts to get artists to sign over their tour and merchandise revenue. But the trend towards decentralization, self-publishing, and direct artist-fan relationships is simply too strong. There will continue to be a role for online music stores and companies that offer promotional services for artists, but the days of labels owning musicians appears to finally be fading.
University Of Oregon Battles Music Industry
By Peter Lattman
Today's NYT Sidebar column spotlights the University of Oregon and its legal battle against the music industry. Go Ducks!
The Recording Industry Association of America subpoenaed the school in September, asking it to identify 17 students who were uploading songs onto a file-sharing network. The school, represented by state AG Hardy Myers, fought back, moving to quash the subpoena. It said the RIAA was violating its student's privacy rights and engaging in questionable investigative practices.
The music industry has sued thousands of illegal file sharers, and most of them settle for a few grand rather than engage in a lengthy court battle. And its litigation crusade is expanding, says the Times. The RIAA gets most schools to identify alleged file sharers and pass along "prelitigation letters" to them. It told the NYT it has provided some 150 schools about 4,000 letters which offer students the chance to settle for $3,000 by punching in a credit card number at www.p2plawsuits.com.
"Certainly it is appropriate for victims of copyright infringement to lawfully pursue statutory remedies," the AG reportedly wrote in his motion. "However, that pursuit must be tempered by basic notions of privacy and due process." He added: "The larger issue is whether plaintiffs' investigative and litigation strategies are appropriate."
While Adam Liptak reports that the Oregon AG's legal argument has little chance of success and says no one should feel too badly for music stealers, he writes "it is nonetheless heartening to see a university decline to become the industry's police officer and instead to defend the privacy of its students." He concludes: "All the university is saying, after all, is that the record industry must make its case in court before the university will point a finger at one of its own."
Industry Offers a Carrot in Online Music Fight
By AMY HARMON Published: Sunday, June 8, 2003
Like a lot of music fans roaming the Internet these days, David Bishop registers one basic sentiment when he thinks about the record industry. "They're a bunch of greedheads," he says. "They've been really fat on what I think of as huge profits and now they're trying to maintain the status quo."
Mr. Bishop is not your typical college-dormitory Internet pirate. A 49-year-old illustrator in San Rafael, Calif., he has steered scrupulously clear of file-sharing software like Napster and KaZaA. But he recently discovered how to play the music provided by other online fans without copying it, and has no compunction about flouting recent efforts to stamp out the practice.
"I'm not doing anything wrong," he insists.
Until recently, music executives have largely failed to acknowledge the millions of individuals, from teenage Eminem fans to Elvis-obsessed baby boomers, who have joined in what amounts to an online rebellion against the industry by some of its most important customers. Hoping to end Internet music piracy by ridding the world of the technologies that make it possible, they have so far focused on legal battles against KaZaA and its many brethren.
But for the first time in the Internet file-sharing wars, record industry executives have in recent weeks started to address music fans directly, both offering carrots and wielding sticks to persuade people to buy their product again. How well they succeed is likely to determine the way music is produced and consumed for years to come.
"The technology has destabilized us, it has hurt us," said Doug Morris, the chief executive of the Universal Music Group, a unit of Vivendi Universal and the largest of the five major record companies. "But now it's going to take us to new heights."
The industry is pursuing lawsuits against music pirates but is also offering new ways to legally listen to and buy music online through deals like a recent alliance with Apple Computer .
That prospect may be difficult to achieve. Forty-three million Americans ? half of those who connected to the Internet ? used file-sharing software last month that allows people to copy music without paying for it, according to a survey by the NPD Group, a market research firm. The file-sharing program KaZaA, which rose in popularity after the record industry won its lawsuit against Napster, has been downloaded more than 270 million times, more than any other free program available on CNet's Download.com site.
The migration of music from shiny disks to the online arena has personalized debates about intellectual property rights once reserved for lawyers, turning passive consumers into political activists in increasingly large numbers. Having discovered the virtues of the new online form, many people are demanding the freedom to sample, trade and make available music in ways that were never before possible.
Some of those ways, like making unauthorized copies of hundreds of copyrighted songs without paying for them, are clearly not legal. Others may be the subject of a negotiation that the music industry is beginning to accept it may have to enter into.
"I have rights to listen to my music the way I want to," said William Raleigh, 33, a marketing manager in Los Angeles who says he never buys music produced by the major record labels, preferring to reserve his acquisitions for independent bands that sell CD's through the Web site CD Baby. "I'm not a criminal if I want to share it with some friends, and I'm opposed to the technology that tries to restrict my rights as a consumer."
Paul Vidich, an executive vice president with the Warner Music Group, a unit of AOL Time Warner , said that the degree to which people could share their music was a key point in the company's negotiations with Apple. They explored what the equivalent of playing music in a living room full of friends would be in the online world. Would it be O.K. for students in a dormitory room to share music with the room next door? With the whole dormitory?
They settled for now, Mr. Vidich said, on agreeing to allow the ability to share with people under one roof, or a radius of about 150 feet.

Warner Music/Digital Rights Group kindly gave me permission to use the song. They use my video for advertisement for the song just as I use their product to promote my video. All is fair in love and war. This is business..... We must continue to fight for our rights and come to an place in the middle without infringing on one another's rights.

Martin Grove Brumbaugh, A.M., Ph.D. (April 14, 1862 – March 14, 1930) was an American Republican politician who served as the 26th Governor of Pennsylvania from 1915 until 1919. He is frequently referred to as M.G. Brumbaugh, as is common in the Brumbaugh family. He was president of Juniata College and the first education commissioner for Puerto Rico.[1]
Life and career[edit]
Brumbaugh was born in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, the son of Martha Peightel (Grove) and George Boyer Brumbaugh.[2] He grew up in rural Huntingdon County and worked in the combination country store-post office that was operated by his father. He was raised in a small pacifist faith with German roots, the German Baptist Brethren, popularly called Dunkers. Brumbaugh attended Huntingdon Normal School, graduating in 1881. A voracious reader and researcher, he later earned degrees in mechanical engineering, philosophy, and the general sciences before earning a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1894. He returned to Huntingdon Normal School, now renamed Juniata College, in 1895, and continued at the post until 1910. He remained closely connected to the college, returning to the position of the president in 1924.
A leading proponent of educational modernization, Brumbaugh oversaw reform of the teacher training curriculum for the state of Louisiana. After the American Invasion of Puerto Rico, then a wealthy overseas province of Spain, and the Treaty of Paris of 1899, Brumbaugh was charged with implementation of an American-style educational system in Puerto Rico. What did that mean for the Island? At that time, and since the early 1500s the Island's educational system was based in Castilian Spanish. By order of King Ferdinand the Catholic, every church had to have a School Parish and all children were to be educated -"in letters and numbers, in science and Faith"- up to 6th grade. There had been a close coordination between the civil authorities and the Catholic Church parish schools and since the mid 1700s Puerto Rico had a semi-public school system. Around the 19th century education was modernized and the Civil authorities took over a greater role, with the aid of the Church. By the 1880s every Mayoralty had its own Education Board, coordinated with the island's Education Ministry, and with that of Spain's. When Brumbaugh took over, Puerto Rico's alphabetization (literacy?) levels in the urban centers was about 98%. The first thing done by Gen. Brooks, the newly appointed military occupation governor (by President McKinley) was to fire and deport the entire priesthood that managed parishes and their schools, who at the time depended on the civil government for their salaries. 36 of the 74 Island parishes and parish schools were left without a priest and teacher. Upon taking over, the first thing Martin G. Brumbaugh did was to dissolve the entire Education Ministry that had been in place for centuries. Then Brumbaugh had the entire public school faculty, most of whom were trained professors of either Antillean or Peninsular Spanish origins, fired and deported. He then brought from the US a great number of Anglophone school teachers, including his cousin Dr. D. Brumbaugh, considered more "friendly to the American cause". The problem was that the American school teachers spoke only English, and the island's primary language was Spanish, with great numbers of French and Italian speakers. In less than 18 months, after Brumbaugh took over, school absenteeism shot up to 98% with the ensuing performance collapse of a population that spoke one language and the teachers another. Those children who did go to school were punished for speaking Spanish, and put down for their culture. The next thing Brumbaugh did, with the backing of the US Military Government, was to change the entire curriculum, to "Americanize it". He re-wrote the entire Puerto Rican history curriculum, sanitized it and purged from it any data threatening to the "American cause". In addition, he began to edit and doctor data so as to exacerbate anything political or social by the former Spanish Authorities, making it negative, out of context and proportion, in a national humiliation process that caused tremendous public outrage and protests. To this day, the island's educational system is still suffering from Brumbaugh's "reforms". After he left Puerto Rico he held lecturer positions at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University. In 1906, he became superintendent of the Philadelphia Public Schools and gained statewide recognition for his performance in this role. A conservative and religious but usually apolitical man, Brumbaugh was nevertheless courted by the Republican Party to run for governor in 1914, after corruption and infighting marred the 1910 campaign.
While in office, Brumbaugh fought to expand educational funding, spur highway construction, and support farmers but also blocked labor reform and supported alcohol prohibition.
Brumbaugh died of a heart attack on March 14, 1930 while playing golf on vacation in Pinehurst, North Carolina.[1]
Brumbaugh Hall is one of the 14 residence halls in the East Halls area of the Pennsylvania State University University Park campus, all named after Pennsylvania Governors. In the college town of Río Piedras, Puerto Rico, Calle Brumbaugh is a street named after Brumbaugh.

Focus the Producer Releases New Music Single to YouTube and iTunes
With a new release now out on YouTube and iTunes, Focus the Producer is looking to make a come back the world will never forget.
Focus the Producer has released his first single in over 5 years to the world. The song "I'm Fly" (It's So Hard Entertainment)
The first verse however was a different story, one never to forget. "Every time I breathe its like a murder in the first degree" was the first line, of the unforgettable first verse in which Focus the Producer also explained his disconnect from the church saying "Church that's a thing of the past. All the snakes in the grass they in the front row catching a laugh, making me mad.".
"I grew up in a broken home" says Focus the Producer as he explains why his lone star nature, and his lack for needing friends to watch his back in the second verse. He also proceeded to profess that he is the new "hype of the south" and that not many people would like the fact. "But my flow is too right for me to be wrong, and my presence is too strong for me to ever be gone you know" says Focus the Producer in response to the possible ill feelings.
You can listen to "I'm Fly" on YouTube

Anti-terrorist raids are currently underway across France, authorities said. The operations come following Friday's co-ordinated attacks by jihadists in Paris that killed more than 120 people and left hundreds injured, SIA reports quoting the local media.
The operations to track down suspected Islamists were confirmed by France's Prime Minister Manuel Valls on Monday.
Raids are ongoing in the city of Toulouse in the South of France. At least 200 armed personnel mostly from GIPN (French National Police Intervention Groups) and RAID (Research, Assistance, Intervention, Deterrence unit) are deployed in the city.
Social media have been flooded by photos of dozens of armed officers apparently detaining suspects and numerous police vehicles driving in the city.
The raids in the city of Lyon in east-central France have resulted in at least five arrested and seizure of weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades.

Transit in Miami
First stop Miami - for 3 hours
After some hours flight time we finally crossed the ocean and arrived in Miami. There we just had a little bit of transit time before we took our flight to Cancun.
Unfortunately we had to pay almost USD 200 for our laguage and as two of three items were slightly overweighted, we had to pay extra.
That was the first moment when we decided to get rid of some more stuff and try to travel lighter.

The urethra is a reliable witness: simplifying the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence

In 1970, Bates, Whiteside, and Turner-Warwick [1] wrote that: "…the bladder often proves to be an unreliable witness…" and this phrase has been used for more than 40 years as a justification for urodynamic studies (UDS) in the evaluation of urinary incontinence. However, two studies published this year in the New England Journal of Medicine have reported the predictive value of direct observation of fluid loss from the urethra in making the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) [2] and occult SUI [3]. The studies suggest that for SUI or occult SUI, appropriate management decisions can be made with an office evaluation that includes demonstrating urine loss from the urethra without additional UDS.
It probably should not surprise us that SUI is not a condition that requires urodynamic testing. SUI is a urethral problem and current bladder investigations do not investigate urethral conditions very well. Valsalva leak point pressures only indirectly measure urethral pressure, and urethral pressure profilometry typically only measures urethral function at rest and not during SUI conditions. No quantitative or qualitative measure during urodynamics makes the diagnosis of urodynamic stress incontinence (USI); thus, the diagnosis of USI is still dependent on direct visualization or imaging of fluid loss per urethra with cough or Valsalva. The presence of a catheter in the bladder (UDS) adds nothing of value to the diagnosis of SUI, except that it can confirm the absence of a cough or Valsalva provoked detrusor contraction. One could argue, though, that this type of detrusor event would not produce simultaneous fluid loss with cough, because a detrusor smooth muscle is not a striated muscle and cannot contract fast enough to generate detrusor pressure at the same time as a cough. Thus, there seems to be a limited role for urodynamics for SUI in the setting of a comprehensive history, office evaluation, and examination. Unfortunately, the current medical model encourages diagnostic studies whether or not they are necessary. This editorial proposes that the diagnosis of uncomplicated SUI and occult SUI by an office stress test and the management of it does not require urodynamic testing in most patients.
The ValUE and OPUS trials
The Value of Urodynamic Evaluation (ValUE) study was a noninferiority trial involving 11 centers, 53 participating surgeons, and 630 subjects with SUI [2]. Women with uncomplicated demonstrable SUI, a normal post-void residual urine (PVR), and a normal urinalysis were randomized to receive either office evaluation only or office evaluation and urodynamic testing before planned SUI surgery. In the women who received urodynamics, USI was confirmed in 97 %. The treatment success rates at 1 year were nearly equivalent in both groups, 77.2 % in the office evaluation only group and 76.9 % in the urodynamic testing group, and the authors concluded that these results argue against routine preoperative urodynamic testing in patients with uncomplicated stress predominant urinary incontinence.
In the Outcomes Following Vaginal Prolapse Repair and Midurethral Sling (OPUS) trial, women without SUI symptoms with stage II–IV prolapse who were planning vaginal prolapse surgery were randomly assigned to undergo vaginal prolapse repair with or without a TVT [3]. All women underwent preoperative standardized fill office–based prolapse reduction stress testing with a fill to 300 ml in the supine position. The catheters were removed and subjects were tested with cough and Valsalva in the supine and then standing position with apical prolapse reduction using one or two proctoswabs. Overall, 111 subjects (33.5 %) had a positive test but in 30 % (33/111) of these women it only became positive in the standing position [4].
In the entire group at 3-month follow-up, the prevalence of stress incontinence was significantly lower in the TVT versus sham group (24 and 49 %). Quite remarkably, women who had a positive preoperative prolapse reduction stress test had a 72 % rate of symptomatic SUI at 3 months compared to a 30 % rate in the sham group (adjusted odds ratio 0.13; 95 % confidence interval 0.05–0.34). All subjects had a lower rate of SUI after midurethral sling regardless of preoperative prolapse reduction stress testing, but the results were most pronounced in the positive prolapse reduction stress testing group, and there was modest evidence (p = 0.06) to suggest that patients with a positive prolapse reduction stress test before surgery may have received more benefit than those with a negative test. Although definitive management recommendations were not made by the authors in the OPUS manuscript on whether to do universal, selective, or staged slings at the time of vaginal prolapse surgery in women without symptoms of SUI, it is reasonable to conclude that women with a positive prolapse reduction stress test have a very high rate of postoperative SUI and would likely benefit the most from a midurethral sling.
Performing a standing clinical stress test
Visualization of fluid loss from the urethra simultaneous with a cough reliably diagnoses SUI. The stress test's likelihood of being positive (sensitivity) is maximized in the standing position with a full bladder and a cough. When patients receive their appointment, ask them to arrive with a comfortably full bladder. After taking the history, have the patient disrobe below the waist and stand near the examining table with their foot on the exam table step or a foot stool to maximize the ability to see the urethra. The examiner needs to bend or squat down and often separate the labia to visualize the urethral meatus. While directly visualizing the urethra have the patient cough vigorously. A Valsalva maneuver can also be performed if the cough test is negative. A positive test is observed loss from the urethral coincident with the cough. Delayed loss is not a positive test but suggestive of possible cough-induced detrusor overactivity. If prolapse is present past the introitus, the test should be performed with reduction of the apex using one or two proctoswabs [3]. If the stress test is positive only with reduction, consider that the patient has a positive reduction testing for occult SUI. This type of standing evaluation also allows observation of maximal prolapse which is recommended in the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POPQ) evaluation guidelines [5]. The patient can then complete a measured void in a toilet hat or uroflowmetry toilet. If a bathroom is not connected to the exam room, patients can wrap a full length sheet around their waist to minimize time related to disrobing and redressing for the voiding study. After voiding, the patient returns for the remainder of the evaluation including: a standardized pelvic examination including prolapse exam (POPQ), urethral mobility assessment, and a PVR assessment by catheterization (or ultrasound). By the end of this first visit the physician knows whether the patient has demonstrated SUI or occult SUI, at what volume she was tested (for functional bladder capacity), and her PVR status. A urinalysis can be performed on the catheterized (or voided) specimen. The sum of the voided volume and the PVR is the volume at which the stress test was performed. In our practice, if this volume is at least 200 ml we consider a negative test to be a true negative. If a negative test is obtained at volumes less than 200 ml, the option of simple cystometry (inserting a urethral catheter, performing a retrograde fill to maximum capacity, removing the catheter, and performing a standing stress testing) can be considered.
Therefore, in the uncomplicated SUI patient (i.e., without prior surgery or mixed symptomatology) or in the patient with prolapse complaints, all the information available after a single visit should be sufficient to proceed with discussion of management options, including surgical options and even proceeding with surgical scheduling. This "one-stop shopping" approach can be efficient and effective for women with primary SUI or prolapse complaints.
Clinical practice implications
Arguments against performing a full bladder standing stress test are easy to refute when the alternative for the patient is urodynamic testing to demonstrate stress urine loss. It may be uncomfortable for the provider to bend down or squat down to look at the urethra when the patient is standing, but this should not justify putting the patient through even more discomfort for an invasive urodynamic test with tubes in her bladder and rectum or vagina. This type of comprehensive office evaluation does require a longer first visit to have the patient transfer from the exam room to the toilet and then back to the exam room again, but isn't this preferable to requiring another visit that would be required because she was not full enough to demonstrate the leakage? If patients find the test embarrassing, it is certainly less embarrassing than a urodynamic evaluation. It is our experience that when the purpose of the stress test is explained to the patient, the women readily understand the obvious importance of demonstrating their symptom.
I think many of us realize that financial and economic forces have led to overutilization and overdependence on urodynamic testing instead of performing a thoughtful (and less compensated) office evaluation. In the USA, physicians without training and limited understanding of how to perform or interpret urodynamics are encouraged by industry representatives to purchase urodynamic equipment and then request the test when the primary motivation may be to increase practice income. Women are often receiving unnecessary, poorly performed, and uninterpretable investigations with reports that include nonplausible values. Urodynamic testing can provide helpful information about bladder function and is indicated in the setting of diagnostic uncertainty, failed treatment, combined storage and emptying disorders, voiding dysfunction, neurological disease, or uncertainty about the relative contribution of urge and stress components, but its role in straightforward demonstrable SUI is not evident.
In summary, the office-based stress test is a simple noninvasive test that confirms the diagnosis of stress incontinence and occult stress incontinence (with office-based prolapse reduction). It can replace urodynamic testing for SUI in many situations. It should be performed standing, with a full bladder, and with direct visualization of the urethra to maximize its sensitivity and specificity. Based on the evidence, I would argue that the urethra is a reliable witness.

Correia is expected to make his debut for the NL-leading Dodgers as they try to halt Julio Teheran's success at home for the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.
Amidst 20 straight days without a day off, Los Angeles (67-52) was scheduled to start Dan Haren in this game, but instead will go with Correia, who was acquired from Minnesota on Saturday.
''As of right now, we'll use (Correia) for a spot start and out of the bullpen,'' Mattingly said. ''Hypothetically speaking, during this stretch of games in a row we can give our guys a bit of a breather.''
An All-Star with Pittsburgh in 2011, Correia was 5-13 with a 4.94 ERA in 23 starts for the Twins this season. However, the right-hander has yielded four earned runs in 12 innings in his last two.
The move came two days after Los Angeles acquired Roberto Hernandez from Philadelphia to replace the injured Josh Beckett (hip) in the rotation.
"I'm getting toward the end of my career and you want to play in some meaningful games," said Correia, a Southern California native who has pitched for San Diego and San Francisco.
He is 3-3 with a 4.24 ERA in eight starts versus Atlanta (60-57).
Teammate Adrian Gonzalez is 9 for 14 with three doubles, two home runs and seven RBIs in the last four contests. He had two doubles and two RBIs as the Dodgers salvaged the finale of their three-game set at Milwaukee with a 5-1 victory on Sunday.
''Hopefully it gets us going in the right direction again,'' Mattingly said.

Am I the only person who mistakenly thought Coop Himmelb(l)au had designed both the BMW Museum and the Porsche Museum? I saw Wolf Prix present the BMW Museum project 7 or 8 years ago. Maybe it's because some of the structural feats are similar that I got them mixed up. (UN Studio's Mercedes Benz Museum is also in Stuttgart.)
Let me be very clear. Below are some pics and a few comments about the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, which is designed by **Delugan Meissl Associated Architects.**
Porsche Museum. Delugan Meissi. Let's go:
The primary gesture of separating and lifting the exhibition floors translates into this interior of a sky-lit lobby with central circulation to the exhibition floors.
(It is a bit odd for a client company that has designed seating to treat seating as such an after-thought. This is consistent throughout.)
One strains to find the sense of high velocity movement or precision that defines the Porsche brand, though the exhibition is laid out in an ascending loop. Ascension, more than speed, links the big gesture of the section to the interior experience.

TRACK AND FIELD: Warriors seek to replace top three athletes
The Brainerd Warriors have three team titles to defend this spring and will attempt to do so without three of their top athletes from 2010.
Brainerd captured Central Lakes Conference and Section 8-2A championships and the Section 8-3A True Team title last season as 2010 graduates Kelsi Ring, Madison Smith and Allison Reuer played instrumental roles in securing those honors. All three are continuing their track careers in college.
Ring, now at Minnesota-Duluth, placed third in the 2A state meet in the triple jump and fourth in the 100-meter hurdles. Smith, now at the University of Minnesota, finished third in the state in the 300 hurdles and eighth in the 100 hurdles. Reuer, also at UMD, narrowly missed qualifying for state in the 100 dash and 4x100 relay.
Ring and Reuer were on the school-record 4x100 relay. Ring ranks second and Smith third in program history in the 100 hurdles. Smith set the school record in the 300 hurdles.
"It's going to be tough to replace all three of those girls," said Warriors coach Dan Clabo, whose squad opens in the Huskies Classic at St. Cloud State on Saturday. "We could almost count on 60 points or more, depending on the meet, from the three of them so we have some big holes there to fill."
Clabo is confident that returning veterans, plus promising youngsters, will help ease graduation of the threesome. The Warriors initially appear to be strongest in distance and field events.
Five state-meet qualifiers return, including seniors Megan Holmes and Anna Gessell, junior Sydnie Mauch and sophomores Allison Kosebud and Sophie Campbell.
Clabo hopes for big contributions from captains Lexi Rardin and Holmes. Rardin will likely compete in the 400 dash and relays. Holmes will run the 800 and 1600 as well as relays.
"I expect more out of the captains this year, like leading our warm-ups," Clabo said. "Our captains in the past didn't really play a big role in things like what to decide for workouts. I'm trying to give them more ownership in what we do. I would like them to come up with ideas to change things up a little bit. And, obviously, both will be big point-getters."
Holmes was a member of the 10th-place 4x800 relay at state, with Gessell, Kosebud and Campbell.
"Megan and Anna do a great job," Clabo said. "They have no injury issues right now. We have to keep them healthy. I'm looking forward to watching them both."
Kosebud and Campbell will likely compete in the 800 and 1600 runs and 4x800.
"They were up and coming toward the end of last year," Clabo said. "They were on our honor roll list (top 15 in school history) a couple times so that was very positive."
Mauch placed ninth in the state in shot put in her first year of throwing.
"At the Huskies Classic last year she threw like 24-4," Clabo said. "To go 37-something at state was a huge jump. We're looking forward to her coming back this year."
Clabo expects senior shot putters Rachel Bartosh and Toni Terwilliger to make contributions in field events, along with Mauch.
High jump is another area where Brainerd appears solid. Senior Olivia Elsenpeter, injured for much of last year, returns.
"Olivia jumped 5-plus for us," Clabo said. "Sydnie also high jumps and (freshman) Kayli Skinner scored points for us last year, she was in the ballpark. Kayli's another one who could go over 5-0."
Clabo looks for sophomore Chloe Miller to help replace Ring and Smith in the hurdles and for contributions in other events from sophomore Courtney Ryan and freshman Hannah Lundstrom, both of whom were members of the school-record 4x100.
"One area we're hurting is hurdles," Clabo said. "Losing Kelsi and Madison, that's one of the areas we will need to fill in for sure."
Warriors roster
Seniors: Rachel Bartosh, Olivia Elsenpeter, Marie Frommelt, Anna Gessell, Martina Giger, Maria del Pilar de Hagen, Alexandra Hohner, Megan Holmes, Jaylnn Lamb, Taylor McElfresh, Annija Mitenberga, Patricia Pensel, Lexie Rardin, Toni Terwilliger
Juniors: Mariah Bock, Laura Boran, Maria Comeau, Rachel Ford, Alyssa Hartshorn, Noelle Johnson, Briana Kruize, Nicole Marquart, Sydnie Mauch, Brittany Olson, Michaela Quast, Shea Sheflo

Red faces as Jobs' obituary dead wrong
When it comes to breaking stories, financial newswires compete down to the fractions of a second. So a hush must have fallen over the Reuters newsroom in Silicon Valley on Wednesday after Bloomberg appeared to have scooped all other media with news of the death of Apple's charismatic chief Steve Jobs.
It was no doubt news to Mr Jobs, too.
It turns out Bloomberg accidentally published an incomplete obituary on Mr Jobs.
The practice of preparing obituaries of notable people in advance is common in the media world. Many outlets, including this newspaper, do so in order to be able to get the news out as soon as possible.
Bloomberg's 17-page obituary for Mr Jobs was apparently published inadvertently during a routine update, according to media gossip website gawker.com.
The 'obit' included a list of Mr Jobs' friends and peers, along with their phone numbers, who could be contacted for their reaction to the news of his death.
In typical newswire fashion, Bloomberg issued a correction in a blink:
Story Referencing Apple Was Sent in Error by Bloomberg News
Aug. 27 (Bloomberg) - An incomplete story referencing AppleInc. was inadvertently published by Bloomberg News at 4:27 p.m. New York time today. The item was never meant for publication and has been retracted.
High-rise to sway opinion
It has taken 14 years but China's tallest building, the 492-metre Shanghai World Financial Centre, finally opens to the public today.
The US$1.4 billion bottle opener-shaped skyscraper, owned by Japanese developer Minoru Mori, has some interesting features.
As home to world's highest hotel, a Park Hyatt on floors 79 to 93, the architects had to come up with a way to deal with the effects the building swaying up to one metre in high winds would have on sleeping guests.
To counter the sensation, they put two 150-tonne computer-controlled counterweights on the 90th floor. Also, there are springs below the hotel's pool so that water doesn't spill over the edges when the building sways.
We wonder if they've got a similar setup in the bar.
Small is beautiful
Macau nabbed bragging rights to the 'world's largest casino resort' a year ago with the opening of the US$2.5 billion, 3,000-room Venetian. But now developers in the casino boomtown are gearing up for a different kind of competition: building the ultimate luxury boutique hotel.
Most visitors to the territory agree that since its opening in 2006, the Wynn Macau has ranked at the top of the luxury segment. But Venetian developer Las Vegas Sands Corp threw down the gauntlet this week with the opening of its US$1.1 billion, 360-room Four Seasons hotel and casino.
In terms of small and spectacular status, Las Vegas Sands president and chief operating officer William Weidner said in an interview that since the Wynn was in the process of expanding to 1,000 rooms from its current 600, it wouldn't really qualify as boutique property.
Rival operator Melco Crown Entertainment's 216-room Crown Macau is another strong contender and bills itself as a six-star property (albeit in a three-star location, as Macau residents have been known to joke). And despite having 600 rooms, the MGM Grand is sort of boutique when compared with the 6,000-room complexes going up on Cotai.
In the boutique pipeline, Galaxy Entertainment plans to launch a 254-room Banyan Tree hotel at its Cotai property. Likewise, Macao Studio City plans to include a 118-room luxury hotel created by David Tang, although the project is struggling to secure financing.
But Lai See reckons none of the above can touch Macau's boutique-est luxury hotel - Stanley Ho Hung-sun's Pousada de Sao Tiago (below).
Built into a 17th-century Portuguese fort and with just 12 rooms, the Sao Tiago is in a different category altogether when it comes to competing against Macau's newest and swankiest hotel properties: it has no casino.

Back Check (An Aces Hockey Novel) by Kelly Jamieson
Overview by Publisher:
Tanner Bennet hates weddings. They just remind him that he simply isn't cut out for any kind of healthy, committed relationship—never has been, never will be. After getting rejected by the girl he thought was "the one" all those years ago, he made a huge mistake and married the wrong person. Now that the divorced heartbreaker has reluctantly agreed to be a groomsman for one of his NHL teammates, the last thing he expects is a chance at redemption with the one that got away.
After Marc Dupuis of the Chicago Aces hires wedding planner Katelyn Medford, she discovers that her big break comes with a twist: a reunion with her college sweetheart. The way she dumped Tanner still haunts her. Eight years—and three broken engagements—later, Katelyn knows she'll never have that kind of innocent, wide-eyed passion again. Still, she and Tanner soon generate enough body heat to burn up the sheets. And even with Tanner's career with the Aces up in the air, Katelyn's wondering whether the time is right to let him in for real.
I have repeatedly expressed my love for hockey themed contemporary novels. This series has been consistently great! What works well is that the author understands hockey. Not just the mechanics of the game, but the culture. Growing up in Canada, it was pretty hard to miss how hockey was revered. A favourite player being traded causes as much uproar as major world events. Most children's organizations and hospitals rely on their charitable work to brighten the day of those in need. Kelly Jamieson's books feature an understanding of the team dynamics, the adoration of fans and the impact of a hockey lifestyle.
This book features the reunion of Katelyn and Tanner. They dated in college but split up when it came time for Tanner to join the league. This is another example of the author really understanding the culture of hockey. Many teenagers live away from home while playing in farm leagues and travel to new cities wherever they get their big break. Tanner's call up effectively ended their relationship since Katelyn wouldn't go with him.
Katelyn is now living in Chicago and has been hired by a couple from a previous book to plan their wedding which puts her in Tanner's sphere. This story is full of the delicious dance two former lovers do – from shock to disdain to interest to lust. It was exciting to read how they rediscover each other.
Kelly Jamieson writes really hot love scenes. Tanner is the perfect blend of gentleman and dirty mouthed lover. She puts those big muscles and tight abs to use in the bedroom.
There is a lot of depth to the characters and the past. They have been apart for quite a while and the life events that have occurred are realistic. While they may have lost years together, the past helps to shape their future.
Hockey season is in full swing. If you are a fan of the fast paced, hard hitting game than you need to check out this series!

Neophotonics Drops 12%: Outlook Misses Despite 100G Boost
Shares of fiber optics technology vendors NeoPhotonics (NPTN) are down $1.55, or almost 12%, at $11.85, in late trading, after the company this afternoon reported Q2 revenue that missed analysts' expectations, and missed with its Q3 forecast, but said that sales of 100-gigabit-per-second fiber optic components is offsetting a decline of parts for older "passive optical networking," or PON.
Revenue in the three months ended in June rose 16%, year over year, to $99.1 million, yielding EPS of 15 cents a share.
Analysts had been modeling $100.6 million and 13 cents a share.
The company's gross profit margin slid to 29.3% from the prior-year period's 32.3%.
CEO Tim Jenks remarked that "Globally, we continue to see the overall environment for 100G and beyond products very robust across both telecom and datacenter applications."
Added Jenks,
In spite of PON market softness, we delivered solid financial results in the second quarter including strong profitability at 15 cents per share and cash generation of approximately $10 million. We are accelerating our high speed product growth and we have announced the end of life of our declining and lower margin PON products," stated Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics.
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue of $100 million to $106 million, a gross profit margin of 29% to 31%, and EPS of 9 cents to 17 cents. The Street has been modeling $107 million and 19 cents a share.
However, Jenks said the company was raising the bottom end of its projected range for full-year revenue growth to 22% to 25% from a prior range of 20% to 25% offered back in April, given that "we are experiencing an unprecedented level of demand for our 100G products, which we're seeing as a major and sustaining mid-term trend in China as well as in the west.

Getting Clued In to Experience Management
Download this episode
Experience Management thought leader and author Lou Carbone urges managing "experience clues", conscious and unconscious, because clues affect the emotions that shape customer attitudes that drive their behaviors. He stresses the need to adapt our business thinking from the "make and sell" approaches of the industrial age to "sensing and responding"-a dynamic change that requires new framing and competencies. He discusses how the systematic design and delivery of experiences can be achieved, and the immense impact this has on customer value, loyalty, and the bottom line.

Great amp, light,sound is great, WOW
I'm using the amp with a gr55 git synth.
It does the job!!!!!!!!!
I'm using the amp with a gr55 git synth.
It does the job!!!!!!!!!
I heard this amp at a store about 7 years ago and it blew me away with the natural sound it provides. At the time, I was only playing at home and I had not started to write original songs and playing live, so I could not justify buying it (around $900). So, I bought it's next brother, the AC-60 instead, which is pretty good and a lot cheaper (around $500 or $600 at the time; do not recall exactly).
When I started writing original songs and then formed a singer-songwriter duo with a singer/lyricist, per Aaron's recommendations (Sweetwater), I bought a Bose L1, MII system for our live shows. In spite of the Bose being the best you can get, I still craved the AC-90. So, when I saw it at the current price and with 36-months with no interest, I saw the opportunity to get it. I am very happy with it.
The AC-90 sounds much, much better than the AC-60; the addition of 2 tweeters gives so much clarity to the mid/hig frequencies of the guitars and voice, and the 8" speakers (versus the 6.5" on the AC-60), really give stronger sense of fullness of the low/mid frequencies. I play 6, 12 and Spanish guitars with it and the sound is just beautifully natural and has enough power for the small venues we normally play live (up to 50 people and indoors), for which the Bose system is too powerful.
The AC-90 is about 10-lbs heavier than the AC-60, yet still portable. It comes with a beautiful and very practical bag; it needs a short handle in addition to the shoulder strap, though.
I do not have anything to say about the effects because I do not use them. I am a finger-picking rhythm guitar player and all the effects throw my timing off when I use them. Plus, I like the natural sound of my guitars without any electronic alterations.
We plan to perform live using both amps, the AC-90 with my guitars and the AC-60 for her vocals. We do this because of her vocal range; she does not need the extra bass the AC-90 provides and the AC-60 has good enough high range for her vocals. To supplement our live act, we will use a KC-150 to play our backup tracks, that way each of us would have a dedicated amp for clearer sound individually.
I waited 7 years to get the AC-90. I am very happy with it!!
I cant get over how true the replication of sound this has. I was also looking at the Fishman Artist and AER 60. The AER is well built and has a strong reputation in acoustic amps but i honestly think you r paying for the "name" and it hasn't got the features the roland and fishman has. the Fishman is a strong contender as an acoustic amp and great sounding, but i chose the roland because of its history in building a quality product . SHOP NO FURTHER
pros : nice clear natural sound.plenty control,flexibel,great bag.cons: no real stereo but pseudo.stereo inputs are useless.
