Current gene and cell therapy clinical trials for sight loss
We are translating our research on inherited and acquired forms of sight loss into clinical trials. Find out about how you can support our work and help develop effective therapies.
We are currently conducting two ground-breaking clinical trials:
Phase I/II trial to assess safety and efficacy of viral RPE65 gene therapy for Leber congenital amaurosis
We began the world's first gene therapy trial in the eye in 2007.
The trial is to test the safety and efficacy of gene therapy using an adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver the RPE65 gene to retinal cells in patients who have Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA).
Initial results published in 2008 (Bainbridge et al. NEJM 2011) suggest that the technique is safe and can restore night-vision in some cases.
Further patients have been treated, and the latest arm of the study includes younger patients.
The encouraging results from this trial suggest that gene therapy can be an effective treatment for inherited retinal degeneration, and extensive evidence from laboratory research shows that other diseases that lead to blindness may also be treatable using gene therapy.
Each of these therapies requires the development of a new gene therapy vector and independent safety testing
Visit the EyeTherapy information hub for more details on:
Pipeline of gene therapy treatments for sight loss
The results of this trial indicate that gene therapy in the eye is safe and can be effective at treating sight loss.
We are developing a pipeline of gene therapy strategies for a range of other conditions that cause sight loss.
Phase I trial to determine the safety of transplanting stem cell-derived retinal cells for people with Stargardt Macular Degeneration
We are conducting Europe's first clinical trial looking at the safety of injecting retinal cells, derived from embryonic stem cells, into the eyes of patients with Stargardt macular dystrophy.
The cells being injected are retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells that were grown from human embryonic stem cells in a dish, by the American company Advanced Cell Technology Inc.
This trial involves patients who are already severely visually impaired and is designed to show whether the injection of these cells is safe - future studies will be required to determine if cell transplantation can restore sight.

You can get SBCL to use Latin-1 encoding instead of the default UTF-8, by running it in an environment where either LC_CTYPE or LANG are set to "C". The depressing thing is that even if they fix nl_langinfo for 10.4, we're pretty much stuck with this mess until 10.5 comes out and it's reasonable to stop supporting 10.3. Yuck. Maybe we can steal the langinfo code from one of the BSDs :-)

GIS vendors, both software and data providers, should be aware that their offerings are ripe for misuse. And all the locking and copy prevention technology available will not stop this. Misuse happens when an organization without proper licensing, uses products to perform commercial services for a third party, either stand-alone or as part of a greater solution. Nearly all End User License Agreements prohibit this type of use as it cannibalizes future business by stealing future sales, violates the agreements GIS vendors have with their providers and profoundly shortchanges vendors in the proper compensation for use of their intellectual property.
Misuse is not limited to any size or type of organization. These violations have been found from small, one-person companies to global corporations to governmental bodies and non-profits. Any organization that acquires data or software has the potential to misuse. No vendor should dismiss this based on its type of user base.
There are limitless scenarios in which GIS products could be misused. Some more typical misuse might include:
- Client uses GIS software and/or data as an immediate part of a consultative service providing results to a third party.
- GIS software and/or data are a small part of a larger solution of results/information provided to third parties.
- Client includes GIS software and/or data as part of its cloud offering.
- GIS software and/or data are installed onto machines' hardware that multiple organizations may access.
Why is license misuse a concern to vendors? There are three major issues. First, nearly all data and software products require the use of commercial third-party products in their build. These products come with licensing restrictions and reporting obligations for these third parties. By not complying with these commitments, vendors risk the potential for heavy fines for failing to accurately report, and they jeopardize these important relationships.
The second concern around misuse is that it may cannibalize the vendor's very own user base. When an organization performs services with the data or software for a third party, it eliminates the need for that third-party organization to acquire the products for its own internal use. Although a situation may occur where the user has unwittingly created an offering using these products, an agreement must be in place to reflect this usage and ensure the vendor receives proper compensation.
This leads to the third and perhaps most important misuse issue, and why it matters. For data and software vendors, intellectual property is the absolute key to their business. They are able to pay their bills, support their products and improve their technology via the rightful compensation they are owed from use of their product. A user who does not use the product according to the terms of the agreement will not provide this proper compensation that is rightfully owed to the vendor. Vendors should never be reluctant to seek what they are rightfully owed.
Misuse poses a serious risk to the vendor. Many software companies have invested in locking technology—which does help prevent over-deployment (installing more seats, servers, CPUs etc. than were legally obtained). However, this solution does not monitor how the product is used. The actual business purpose and who is benefitting from the results of using the software cannot be controlled or determined. This is true for data as well, in which there are very limited options for controlling usage.
Vendors that provide data and software via the cloud may have a false sense of security. Putting technology in the cloud provides insights into the usage, including how many users and amount of usage. But simply knowing the usage may not reveal the actual business purpose and who is benefitting from it.
Many vendors have the right to do audits as per their license agreements. However, they have serious limitations. Audits are geared toward looking at number of installations and users. They do not effectively capture the business purpose for the technology. As well, audits are expensive; there is a heavy cost for this and it still will not yield the needed results concerning usage. Lastly, these audits are known for upsetting the client. This may not be as much of a concern for the largest vendors, whose users have limited choices in alternative technology. However, for the majority of vendors, keeping costs down and not upsetting customers are likely significant concerns.
The news is not all bad. With careful investigation, this type of misuse can be detected without upsetting clients. The results can be quite lucrative to vendors. Discovery of this type of misuse usually nets owed royalties, fees and possible damages to the vendor. Additionally, discovering this type of usage may present new opportunities for the vendor to provide additional products and services to the user. Finally, the process may lead to a better fit, product-wise, to suit the actual usage. Large vendors have teams focused on user compliance. While this is not realistic for many small and medium-sized providers, they should not hesitate to seek outside help. The risk from misuse is serious and the opportunity it creates is considerable.

House lawmakers voted down a bill that would have earmarked a portion of Utah's liquor sales to pay for public education, citing concerns about relying on alcohol consumption to teach Utah children.
"Do you really want [to say] 'Not a drop. We don't want our kids to drink,' but now education funding depends on alcohol?" asked Rep. LaVar Christensen, R-Draper. "The day we start taking money wherever we can find it and run it through a blender and say the ends justify the means is a huge compromise of principle."
HB271, sponsored by Rep. Jim Bird, R-West Jordan, would have earmarked a quarter of the growth in liquor sales to public education an estimated $7.5 million in 2014 and $14.5 million the following year.
Bird acknowledged it was an unconventional way to fund education, but said the schools need the money.
Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay, said it was a "shame" the state was looking at liquor revenues for schools. "It just bothers me."
"It's just, to me, a way of getting out of funding [schools] properly," she said.
Rep. Brian King, D-Salt Lake City, was more blunt.
"Is this a relatively crappy funding measure for public education? Absolutely. I don't like it," he said. "It's inferior to what we should be doing. But we're not doing what we should be doing."
Bird's bill failed, 33-39. He could still try to revive it this session if he can recruit enough supporters.

I am EXCITED and PUMPED about my new book for high school students, college students, and twenty-somethings – What Everyone Should Know About Money Before They Enter THE REAL WORLD.
To celebrate the release of this book, I am sharing one of the chapters of this book (see all of the chapter titles HERE)
Here is another section of the "Credit Scores" chapter:
Everyone Should Know …
A credit score is a debt management score, not a measure of your financial health.
Review the items that comprise a FICO score. Did you notice that it does not include items such as:
- The amount of money in a savings/checking or retirement account?
- The amount of equity in a home?
- Paid-for items that have value (car, house, expensive jewelry, etc.)
A FICO credit score only looks at debt. One could literally have $1 million in the bank and have a credit score of ZERO because they have not used debt for a long period of time.
There are people who define themselves by their credit score. My credit score is 801, they boast. I have seen many people who have extremely high credit scores who are absolutely broke. They have a high credit score because they have managed their debt well, not because they have managed their money well!
There are many people who have purchased a brand new car using debt when they could have paid cash for a nice used car. They bought the new car solely to boost their credit score. It might improve their credit score, but it hurts them where it really counts – the bank account!

How is pancreas divisum diagnosed?
The most accurate test to diagnose pancreas divisum is ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography), which can demonstrate the presence of two separately draining pancreatic ducts. However, ERCP itself sometimes can cause attacks of pancreatitis. Other tests that can help diagnose pancreas divisum without the risk of causing pancreatitis include endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
What is the treatment for pancreas divisum?
Pancreas divisum without symptoms needs no treatment. Treatment of patients with abdominal pain and recurrent pancreatitis attributable to pancreas divisum has not been well established. Some doctors will attempt sphincterotomy (cutting of the minor papilla during ERCP to enlarge its opening). Others will insert a stent during ERCP into the duct to prevent duct blockage. These procedures are not risk free. Therefore, patients with symptomatic pancreas divisum are best evaluated and treated by doctors in centers experienced in treating pancreatic diseases.
What is the prognosis for pancreas divisum?
Most patients with pancreas divisum remain asymptomatic and therefore the prognosis is excellent. For those patients with symptoms of pancreatitis, the prognosis is no different than that of the unaffected population who develop pancreatitis. Even after treatment, pancreatitis may recur. It is important to remember that there is no clear evidence to support a causal relationship between pancreas divisum and pancreatitis.

Loyalty money ($30) or questions (and risk unresponsive server)?
and then the really hard question… XBees or GPS?
Sparkfun is awesome!
It would be cool if you could offer a little started kit of connectors so we could play with all the different types these support.
If SparkFun was ever shortened to Spark (which I've never seen) the case would be a stretch. I guess Sun is doing that bad that they have to supplement their revenue by bullying the little guy. I really don't see how anyone besides a lawyer could not tell the difference.
So what's the advantage of this over the Arduino?
Hehe… Che line of clothing. Kindof funny in that I just watched this a few days ago: http://www.reason.tv/video/show/622.html

taupe furnature, beige walls and steel blue carpet
I have taupe leather sectional, brown (2shades) and navy and steel blue lines running through recliner,I want to get new carpet and we are getting ready to paint. We found a beautiful steel blue carpet, and thought about doing a shade of beige for walls, and a very pale beige ceiling and woodwork, and using the steel blue color for accessories. I also thought about the blue for sheers and also white sheers. I need help and suggestions
I use Color Impact, from Tiger Color, in my color consulting work and you can try it for 30 days. Why not play with some color schemes and color wheels there? It will let you explore tints and shades of colors and all sorts of things. Something like the Personal Color Viewer from Benjamin Moore (free) will let you paint your room virtually (and color accessories if you want) or you can use one of their pre-masked images that looks close.
I will caution you that blue carpeting seems to show dirt in weird ways so keep that in mind.
Also blues are especially sensitive to light color and color rendering so makes sure to choose your hues for when you are going to be using the room and not just from color chips.
pics are always nice, as from what you are describing, the room may turn out more monochromatic than you may like. Why don't you consider grey walls? It works well with taupe and blue, and a few accessories with oranges might make it all pop together. If you're not into orange-orange, maybe you might want to consider rust.
I'm more of a hardwood with area rugs kind of gal, as it is more reasonable on the pocketbook to change in a few years when you grow tired of this pallet. Carpet can get costly, and sometimes we get "locked" into certain colors for longer than we wish to be because it can get costly to change out wall to wall carpet.I myself get bored after a few years, and find it much easier and less costly to change out an area rug, some pillows and curtains to get a fresh, new look. I'm doing it now after 3 years. It ran me about $300 to completely change the look of this room just by doing that thanks to the hardwoods.
In the end, if YOU like it , that's really all that matters!!

maybe a little smaller? and I wonder about a blue shirt instead of cream, then it wouldn't need as much ink.
great concept never thought of a dragon cooling off!

L O L Thanks jbedwar! Yeah we actually roast lots of marshmallows in the summer. It's like THE thing to do when camping. (we don't camp in the winter here considering it snows by Halloween, in most cases) Especially like this weekend. it's in the 60's here and partly cloudy, so it's been relatively cool.

Because for a lot of people ... the votes aren't for the "Talent" or how Nice the artwork looks. It's simply a vote for a shirt they would like to win so that they can buy it because they think it will look good as a shirt. A lot of times, people spend so much time on artwork that doesnt really look all that good on a t-shirt or is hard to explain or whatever. Where as this one is nice looking for a shirt.
I want this...really badly.
The shadow is so neat! He looks wicked creepy, too!

If it's hard to see on royal, it's invisible on navy (and the only reason why I know this is due to my Nessie print) and over two thirds of the detail will get lost... mainly the bees and the tips of the grass.
I saw your comment the first time (I really appreciate it, by the way), but didn't get around to changing it. I sort of had to submit and run at that point. I'll poke at it tonight. I tried different colored outlines when I was first working on it, and it made the fireflies look very peculiar, so we'll have to see.
As for the cattails, I actually thought about them when I was originally planning the idea. The thing is that they would I would probably have drawn them in beige, so the focal point of the picture would fall on the brighter colored fireflies. This wouldn't have been bad, but it would have made the design very top heavy and a little dark (even for something titled "summer nights"). I decided to specifically look for a type of flower that blooms even during the summer, to add some brightness to the whole thing.
Maybe the reasoning seems a little weird, but that's what it was. XD
Again, thanks so much for the feedback.

Some people won't see summer in it, I know. It really depends on the sort of climate you live in. Where I live, we get really hot days as well as really rainy days. Here's hoping that Woot is ok with it!

Photoshop, photoshop, photoshop. Specifically, I desaturated and jacked up the contrast on a tree bark photo (any photo of anything with vertical texture will do). Then I deleted out its white areas, leaving just black texture, which I selectively copied and pasted over the samurai and his stuff.

When should I carry my notes?(56 Posts)
Hi everyone,
Just looking for a quick bit of advice here. I'm 28 weeks pregnant with my DC1, work in London but live in North Hertfordshire so it takes me at least an hour and a half to get home (assuming I'm not waiting for tubes or trains).
I always take my notes with me if I stay away from home for a night or go on a day trip far away, just in case, but should I start taking them to work as I'm so far away from home? And, when do you think I should start doing this?
I'm 36 weeks and have only been carrying them for about 10 days, mainly because I'm being monitored for pre-eclampsia and feel quite out of it and fully expect to pass out somewhere and wake up in hospital!
Mine aren't that big though, just a green A4 booklet that I fold in half and keep in a brown envelope.
Wow it's amazing that I guess these notes are not standard size!
Mines are not big A4 size and in a green plastic wallet so I can easily fold and put in handbag! Def not a hassle to carry around especially at this stage!
I've had 3 other children and never thought that notes were bulky I guess different boroughs, hospitals, countries have different sizes!!
I haven't started carrying them around routinely yet (25/40) - my commute is a similar length. If anything happens to make it higher risk or I was travelling outside of my county I'd probably take them with me though. Otherwise, dunno - maybe 34/40 as an arbitrary number?
Still don't think I'll start carrying them just yet.
If I'm awake I can give as good a history as is in the notes.
They'd need to retake blood samples (no lab will issue a cross match on the basis of a piece of paper from another hospital...) or use emergency blood anyway.
If I'm not conscious then there's a palpable bump equivalent to dates as a clue now but there might be bigger problems! & if it's a perimortem section then the odds for both of us wouldn't be great either & they can stop faffing about reading my notes & get to it. Cue anecdote of the Obstetrician being fast bleeped to Resus then going about to faff and meticulously scrub/prepare for surgery - returning to the Urologist holding a baby & more effective CPR going on. </cheery thoughts!>
But to be a big hypocrite - when working with pregnant ladies it was handy if they carried their notes!
I commuted to central London from Kent so probably a similar distance to OP and carried them with me full time from 30 weeks. Was a pain but oh well, just got to be thankful I didn't need them.
I'll probably start about 24/5 weeks? I have pointed out to mw that if they want us to carry them for 9 months they should make them handbag sized but they didn't seem to take it in. But it's just sensible - if they're too big/heavy then they're not really fit for purpose.
MW at hospital refused to see me til DH had gone home to get my notes - I'd come in worried about bleeding & had just forgotten to bring my notes. I thought that was mean.
I'm nearly 30 weeks and this week having been working 70 miles away from home. Have been keeping notes in boot of car, mainly because of how far from home I am really...
I was told when pregnant with dc1 though at booking in to keep the notes with me at all times. Thought this was odd tbh, as I miscarried last year before I had even had my booking in?!
I had a funny turn at 26 weeks last pregnancy, and the day assessment unit told me to come in, but only after I'd gone home to get my notes! As I could have gotten a direct train to the hospital from work, and I ended up getting a taxi from home, I then decided that it was easier just to carry them around after that.
I started carrying them at 28 weeks this time round, on the theory/hope that sods law would mean that I wouldn't need them till after 40 weeks..
They do have a bee in their bonnet about the notes but as I wrote mine myself at my booking in and am very clear about what they say I am not intending to carry them round with me. If I go I in unconscious I trust they will act appropriately to the situation and if I had them in a bag there is no guarantee that it would end up in hospital with me or they would look in it anyway.
When I arrived in labour with my first there were no staff available so no one gave my notes a second glance. Obv I took them in for my elcs with number 2 though!
With DS I never had them except appointments but got told off when I visited a friend and went into hospital around 28 weeks for reduced movement.
This pregnancy I take then everywhere as I have placenta previa so could bleed at any time - and have.
Mine are A4 in a white plastic folder but still bulky even in a big bag I use to carry DSs changing mat and nappies etc.
I think they are important to update rather than have a picture but common sense about when to carry them is probably needed.
Obviously take them on trips and holidays and if you have a long commute like OP seems a good idea. Taking them to the corner shop may be a bit excessive.
Also the further on you are the more important it is to have them
On DD1, I think I carried mine from about 30 weeks - but only if I was going to be more than 30 minutes from home.
On DD2, I was in Belgium and had no notes - just a card with my patient number (and possibly barcode). Every room in the hospital seemed to have a computer & they could access my notes on that. It did occur to me that this wouldn't be a lot of help if something happened when I was away from Brussels.
I fell on my bump at 24w and got loads of grief for not having my notes with me. "you should carry them as soon as you're pregnant" was the advice. They checked the baby anyway and all was well, but didn't ask my blood type so didn't give me the anti-d I should have had. The notes are SO heavy though it's ridiculous. Need to change the system somehow!
I photocopied the relevant page of information and folded it in with my scan pics. Full version lived in my car.
I only carry mine when I go to an appt. I'd feel ridiculous carrying them about everywhere! Can you imagine just going to the shops and trying to make a toddler hold hands plus shopping plus notes?
I was at about your stage, OP, when I was wondering the same thing.
Then bang on 29 weeks, I started bleeding at work and went straight into hospital - no notes. They didn't mind too much, and at least DH was able to go home and bring them in that evening (1.5hr round trip), but obviously there is key information in there which the hospital might need to know (bloods etc) and if you are anything other than low risk, it is even more important to have them with you.
I concur with those who put them in a folder - mine turned into a complete mess in hospital with pages detaching all over the place, so better to be sure it is all together.
Best wishes for the rest of your pregnancy
According to my midwife ALL the time. Kind of the point isn't it? A baby/ situation can happen at any time after all unfortunately. It's a drag though as its heavy....
Don't want to carry all of it photocopy and keep in an envelope in your bag. Can shrink copies to a5? Seems an idea at least?
I carried them at all times, right from the start.
Just got a bigger handbag (more like a satchel) that had my notes, spare knickers and maternity pads and water as well as all the usual handbag stuff.
When I was pregnant with DS, I had a scare when I was working in central London at 34 weeks - my midwife told me not to come home to go to our local hospital (would have taken about an hour/hour and half to get from work to the local hospital), but go to the nearest in London. They told me off for not having my notes with me
This time round, I'm currently 23 weeks and intend to start carrying them from next week/week after when I go into London (assume when I'm local to my house I'll not bother as I'd always pop home first).
What I have done, is taken the notes out of the bounty folder (not advertising for them anyway!) and dumped all the
adverts leaflets, put my scan photos elsewhere etc and just take the notes.
Of course, this might be a good excuse to get yourself over to style and beauty and ask for advise for a new handbag that's big enough to carry the A4 folder of notes in it.
totally ridiculous that from dot they expect you to carry them with you at all times, completely impractical.
Thanks, everyone. Really interesting to hear everyone's opinions and it has really made me think about it from a wide variety of perspectives.
I must admit I had been put off because it seems a bit of a faff because they aren't the smallest things in the world but I do have Crohn's disease, asthma and some medicine allergies and should I be unconscious...well doesn't bear thinking about.
Thanks, everyone! (Might treat myself to a new handbag though!)
New bag, new bag, new bag!!!!
Realistically, it depends what's in them.
If you have a complex medical or obstetric history and the information contained in the notes is critical to the health of you and the baby, then I'd say carry them all the time from as early as possible.
If you're having a straightforward pregnancy and the notes will not add anything to standard care if you were admitted in an emergency, I'm not sure I would bother.
Never did last pregnancy - never got the chance to to be honest with going so prematurely.
This time around I'll probably chuck them in the back of the car after next midwife appointment (praying I make it - it's past the point I gave birth last time) and leave them in there... with how pants transport links are locally - there's no way I'll be arriving at either the hospital or the GPs surgery in anything other than car - or ambulance, in which case hubby would be following in the car anyway.
I long since ditched the cruddy Bounty folder (never quite felt comfortable carting around a huge "HOOO GUYS I'M PREGGAZ" sign) and have them in an A4 folder of my own. Bounty pack had fallen apart by the time I got home from booking in appointment under the cumulative weight of the junk mail.
I ended up in a&e yesterday after a car accident but didnt have my notes. Could have been seem so much quicker if I'd had them.

BEIJING/NEW YORK – Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi has roundly condemned Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to war-related Yasukuni Shrine last week.
Abe "must own up to the wrongdoing, correct the mistake and take concrete measures to remove its egregious impacts," Yang said in a statement Saturday. "We urge Abe to give up any illusion and mend his ways."
Otherwise, Yang warned, Abe will "further discredit himself before Japan's Asian neighbors and the international community, and end up being an out and out loser in history."
Abe visited Yasukuni in Tokyo on Thursday, drawing immediate fire from China and South Korea, which regard it as a symbol of Japan's militarism in the last century. The shrine honors the nation's war dead, including Class-A war criminals.
Immediately after Abe's visit, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi summoned Japanese Ambassador to China Masato Kitera and lodged a protest.
In Saturday's statement, Yang said the Yasukuni visit is "by no means" an internal affair of Japan or an act merely on an individual basis. Rather, "it is a major issue of right and wrong that concerns aggression versus anti-aggression, justice versus evil, and light versus darkness," Yang said.
It is a matter of major principle that bears on the political foundation of Japan's relations with its Asian neighbors and the international community, he added.
"What Abe has done is push Japan toward a dangerous road that undermines the fundamental interests of people of all countries and of Japan," Yang said. "This has already given rise to high vigilance of the international community and of people with vision in Japan in various sectors."
Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said it is "regrettable" that the region is still troubled by historical tensions, the office of Ban's representative said Friday in New York.
Ban "has been consistent in urging the countries in the region to come to a common view and understanding of their shared history" and "stresses the need to be sensitive to the feelings of others, especially the memory of victims," the office said.
"It is highly regrettable that tensions from the past are still plaguing the region," it said.
In a surprise move on the first anniversary of his taking office for the second time, Abe visited the shrine, which honors leaders convicted as war criminals by an Allied tribunal, along with millions of war dead.

How to remove drip edge to get to replace fascia board
I have a metal drip edge covering my fascia board. I need to get to the fascia board but my drip edge is covering it. How would I take the drip edge off so I could replace the fascia board? It appears that there are nails under the shingles holding the drip edge.
You have to carefully pry those shingles up with a thin flat tool. Then remove drip edge and replace with new drip edge. Then reseal down all the shingles with roofer caulk Or the black caulk roofers use. you could try to reinstall that drip edge but i wouldn't recomend it because your going to bend it prying it off. NOw when taken it off. Take a flat bar and pry off at the nails. Meaning get under the drip edge or apron at the nail and pry up. Be careful with the shingles.
747 is absolutely correct, with an emphasis on removing it carefully.
Don't go cracking the shingles above it.

WASHINGTON – Fish oil supplements rich in omega-3 fatty acids are not beneficial for patients at high risk of cardiovascular troubles and already being medicated, a study found Wednesday.
In the study, carried out in 2010 in Italy with 12,513 patients, half the group took an omega-3 supplement and the other half an olive oil placebo.
Previous clinical trials have suggested that these supplements could reduce cardiovascular risks for patients suffering from cardiovascular disease or who have already suffered cardiac arrest.
But a major study in 2010 found that the fish oil supplements did not help prevent atrial fibrillation, a common problem with the heartbeat's rate or rhythm.
The latest research found that just under 12 percent of patients in both groups — 11.7 percent of the omega-3 group and 11.9 percent of the placebo group — experienced a stroke.

By Hannah Tinti.
Dial, $22.95.
For her debut collection, Hannah Tinti has written 11 thematically linked short stories. They all feature animals, in ways large and small. As a stylist, she prefers short, declarative sentences. Sometimes they resonate. Sometimes they just end. She also likes introductory pronouns, leading to frequent ''she''-storms of prose. The title story is the strongest: in what amounts to a macabre office tour, a zoo employee describes how his co-workers have been maimed, disfigured and otherwise inconvenienced by animals. He then commits suicide with the help of an elephant. The vignettes show off Tinti's gift for the quick study. They also establish her theme of animals as the secret sharers of humanity, the unwitting repositories of our desires and fears. (If that sounds extreme, consider the emotional burden placed upon the average household cat.) But in the stories that follow, Tinti strains under the requirements of her theme, introducing animal encounters for no apparent reason or relying on them to carry too much implicit meaning. Without a proper buildup, a snake is just a snake, even when it's cut into pieces and served to a jerk of a boyfriend. Michael AggerContinue reading the main story

Kids Ain't Cheap but that is okay, they are more than worth it. This community is aimed at parents but it's really for children. It's goal is to help parents provide for their children without breaking the bank, and having fun in the process.
My name is Brian and along with my amazing friend Catherine, we run this community. Having kids in the wake of the Great Recession and the financial crisis, we didn't want our kids to feel the squeeze like we were feeling. Ultimately, we know that the most important we can do for our children is love them, keep them safe and healthy and teach them right from wrong. Those things don't necessarily cost anything, but no matter how much you can tell yourself that the material stuff doesn't matter, it was really tough to not feel guilty when the kids asked for something small and we couldn't afford to give it to them. Guilt is a powerful thing, even when it may not be warranted.
We have several goals with this community and we hope you will stick around as we go through the building process and participate as it grows. We intend to:
- Provide original and interesting content about family, fun, money, and more!
- Give you reviews of toys and children's products so you can learn from our experience before spending your own money
- Build a community of parents that are here to support each other and help us all grow as parents.
It's an ambitious goal but we are up for the task and hope you will let us know what you think of our web site.

When the announcement was made that Charlie and Dakota Johnson were attached to the movie I told you that he would come up with something in a month or two to get him out of it and it would most likely be scheduling conflicts. The reason given yesterday? Scheduling conflicts. I actually thought Dakota would pull out by now too but I guess no one has approached her with any possible television projects. I think she is much more suited for television despite her failed show last year. I think maybe she has been caught up in the publicity and attention and I know she has been hanging around some of the producers and giving as many interviews as possible. I hope she sees the light and bails.

No. 19 USC Looks to Rebound Against ASU, Arizona
THIS WEEK: The No. 19 USC women's soccer team (13-2-1 overall, 4-1 in the Pacific-10 Conference, tied for second place), looking to start a new winning streak and position itself for a bid to the NCAA Tournament, plays its first Pac-10 home games this season. The Women of Troy host Arizona State on Friday (Oct. 31) at 2 p.m. and Arizona on Sunday (Nov. 2) at 1 p.m. Both matches are at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Led by 1996 Pac-10 Coach of the Year Jim Millinder, the Women of Troy are on pace to have the best season in the program's five-year history and have maintained their first-ever national ranking for the fifth straight week.
NEWS & NOTES: The Women of Troy are ranked No. 19 by Soccer Buzz and No. 24 by Soccer News. Prior to the UCLA game, USC was No. 10 in the Sagarin computer ratings. In the West Region rankings, USC is No. 5 in the NSCAA and Soccer Buzz polls ... The Washington State game on Nov. 7 has been moved to El Camino College ... Sophomore midfielder Kim Clark has set or tied five school records this year ... Junior midfielder/forward Courtney Barham has tied the school career record for goals with 24 ... With its next win, USC will earn the 50th victory in the program's history ... The Women of Troy saw their seven-match winning streak and 13-match unbeaten streak, both school records, come to an end last weekend against UCLA ... USC is coming off its best-ever season with a 15-5 record in 1996, and went 4-3 in the Pac-10 for a tie for fourth place.
OPPONENTS: Arizona State (10-5, 4-1, tied with USC for second in the Pac-10) swept the Oregon schools last weekend. The Sun Devils, in just their second season of play, are led by freshman midfielder Antoinette Marjanovic's 22 points (eight goals and six assists). USC defeated ASU last year, 3-0, in Tempe ... Arizona (8-7-1, 2-3, tied for sixth place) has won two of its last three. Sophomore midfielder Krista Bogdan leads the Wildcats with 12 points (four goals and four assists). USC is 2-1 all-time against Arizona, including a 3-1 win last year in Tucson.
LAST WEEK: The Women of Troy suffered a tough 3-1 loss to rival UCLA, ranked No. 19, on Sunday at Spaulding Field in Westwood. After a scoreless first half, UCLA took a 1-0 lead in the 50th minute before USC tied it on freshman defender Andrea Warner's goal from sophomore midfielder Kim Clark. But old nemesis Traci Arkenberg scored what turned out to be the game-winner in the 67th minute (the senior forward has eight goals in five games against USC) and the Bruins added a breakaway goal in the 85th minute.
KIM CLARK: Sophomore midfielder Kim Clark (Cupertino, Monta Vista HS) has had a phenomenal season and is one of the West Region's top players. The All-American candidate has scored 10 goals (first on USC, third in the Pac-10 and tied for eighth in the West Region) and has 14 assists (first on USC, first in the Pac-10, first in the West Region and tied for eighth nationally) for a total of 34 points (first on USC, second in the Pac-10 and second in the West Region). Clark has set four school records this season: assists in a single season (14), assists in a career (18), consecutive games with an assist (six) and consecutive games with a point (eight). The last two streaks are current. She was named Pac-10 Player of the Week on Sept. 2 after getting a total of seven points at Iowa State and Nebraska. She tied the school single-game record with three assists against Cal State Fullerton and had two against Loyola Marymount. She had two goals and an assist in USC,s first-ever win against Stanford and did the same at Oregon State. Clark leads USC with 65 shots, and if near-misses were an official statistic, she would lead the team in that as well. Clark surpassed her 1996 season total of 16 points after just nine games. She had an impressive summer and played for the West Region team at the U.S. Soccer Festival. A two-sport athlete, she also plays for the USC women's basketball team (along with twin sister Kristin).
COURTNEY BARHAM: Junior midfielder/forward Courtney Barham (Olivenhain, San Dieguito HS) has been a major contributor thus far, with eight goals (tied for second on USC and tied for fifth in the Pac-10) and three assists for a total of 19 points (tied for eighth in the Pac-10). Barham has tied the school career record for goals with 24. She had two goals against UC Santa Barbara. One of USC's top offensive threats, the speedy Barham scored 17 points as a 1996 sophomore (earning All-Pac-10 second team honors) and 19 points as a 1995 freshman.
KAYLEE WHITFIELD: A sophomore forward with a nose for the goal, Kaylee Whitfield (Santa Ana, El Modena HS) has found the back of the net eight times this season (tied for second on USC and tied for fifth in the Pac-10) on just 38 shots. She has two assists and a total of 18 points (tied for 10th in the Pac-10). She tied a school record with consecutive multiple-goal games, getting two each against San Diego State and Cal State Fullerton. A year ago, she was a sparkplug as a reserve, totalling three goals and four assists. When Kaylee was 9 years old, she was hit by lightning and her heart stopped for about a minute.
CAROL HATCHER: One of USC's top offensive threats, junior midfielder Carol Hatcher (Kapolei, Hi., Kalani HS) has five goals and six assists (tied for fourth in the Pac-10) for a total of 16 points. She earned Pac-10 Player of the Week honors on Sept. 15 after scoring two goals in the final nine minutes against Fresno State to lift USC from what looked to be a 1-0 loss to a stunning 2-1 victory. Hatcher had a goal and an assist in USC's first-ever win against California. Hatcher was named to the All-Pac-10 second team in 1996 after scoring 19 points. An excellent student, she was honored during the UNLV football game (Oct. 4) in the Academic Salute.
MEGHAN REPPE: Her contribution doesn't usually show up in the stats, but junior Meghan Reppe (Orange, Villa Park HS) has earned a reputation as a top-caliber defender. She is regularly asked to guard the opponent's top forward and, more often than not, shuts its scorer down. This is her third year as a starter and she has a career total of one goal and three assists.
GOALKEEPERS: Senior Laura Badagliacco (Morgan Hill, Presentation HS) and junior Karin Puccinelli (Cupertino, St. Francis HS) were co-starters at goalkeeper a year ago and each has been impressive once again. Badagliacco has started 11 of the last 13 games and has a goals-against average of 1.16 (fourth in the Pac-10 and ninth in the West Region) and 57 saves (sixth in the Pac-10). After 11 games, she ranked among the national leaders in goals-against average. Puccinelli has started five games, making 17 saves with a 0.89 goals-against average. Senior Sheri Simala (Fountain Valley, Fountain Valley HS) saw her first action since 1994 against Cal State Fullerton and made two saves.
FRESHMEN: Four true freshmen have been making an impact. Forward Megan Orach (Huntington Beach, Marina HS) scored the game-winning goal in her first game against Iowa State, then tied the school single-game record with eight points (three goals and two assists) against Cal State Fullerton - all in the first half. Her performance against the Titans earned her Pac-10 Player of the Week honors on Sept. 22. She had two goals and an assist at Oregon. She has seven goals (tied for ninth in the Pac-10) and seven assists (second on USC and tied for second in the Pac-10) for a total of 21 points (second on USC and tied for fifth in the Pac-10). At one point against Iowa State, Katie Ticehurst (Los Alamitos, Mater Dei HS), Andrea Warner (Dana Point, Dana Hills HS) and Susie Mora (Mission Viejo, Santa Margarita HS) made up an all-true freshman line of defenders. Warner has two goals and four assists this season. Ticehurst's first career goal was the game-winner in overtime at Oregon State. Ticehurst and Warner have started all 16 games, Orach has started 15 and Mora has started seven.
ISABELLE HARVEY: The 1996 Pac-10 scoring champ and an honorable mention All-American, sophomore forward Isabelle Harvey made her return on Sept. 26 against Loyola Marymount after being sidelined by knee surgery. In only her second game back, she scored a goal and had an assist against Cal State Northridge. However, she decided after the game to sit out the rest of the season and petition for a medical hardship year because she didn't feel her knee was strong enough to continue. Amazingly, the Quebec, Canada, native set school single-season records with goals (20), assists (11 - since broken by Kim Clark this season), points (51), game-winning goals (nine) and multiple-goal games (six) as a 1996 freshman while playing on a torn left knee ligament. She aggravated the injury this spring, had surgery in mid-April and tried to return after a little more than five months.
MORE NOTES: The Women of Troy are first in the Pac-10 in points with 136, third in the Pac-10 in team goalkeeping with a 1.04 goals-against average and fifth in the West Region in goals per game at 2.94 ... When Megan Orach tied USC's single-game record of eight points, she tied the mark set by current undergraduate assistant coach Amy Peterson in 1993. Interestingly, both were freshmen when they set the record, both are from Huntington Beach and both attended Marina High School ... USC has never lost at the Coliseum, going 10-0-1... USC has never lost a season opener, winning all five ... Head coach Jim Millinder became USC's all-time winningest head coach with his 22nd victory, which came against Loyola Marymount (his previous team) on Sept. 26. Former coach Karen Stanley had 21 wins in three seasons ... Freshman midfielder Ami Aylor (Lake Forest, Santa Margarita HS) has a flip throw-in which is as dangerous as a corner kick in the final third of the field. To the delight of the crowd, she's done it in two of the four home games in which she's appeared ... USC's season-opening trip to Iowa State and then-No. 6 Nebraska was the program's first east of the Rockies.
COACH MILLINDER SAYS: "We had a disappointing effort against UCLA, but now we need to put that behind us and win the next four matches. Both Arizona schools will be tough opponents. Arizona State is probably one of the most improved teams in the Pac-10, and that's a huge game because they're also 4-1 in the conference. Both schools will give us a handful."
THEY SAID IT: Nebraska Coach John Walker: "USC is a team that will be in the tournament at the end of the year. They just missed it last year, and certainly are quite a bit better than they were last year. They are well-organized, well-coached and they fought hard."

Baez Blows Away Pelicans
Blue Rocks Playoff Hopes Barely Alive
By Geoff Arnold / Wilmington Blue Rocks | August 27, 2013 7:10 PM ET
Wilmington, DE-Angel Baez was dominant over six innings, while the Wilmington Blue Rocks fended off a late charge by Myrtle Beach to hang on for a 5-2 win on Tuesday night at Frawley Stadium. The victory was the 60th of the season for Vance Wilson's club, and improved the team to 60-75 and 27-38 in the second-half Northern Division standings. Despite holding on against the Pelicans, the Blue Crew did not receive any help from Lynchburg, who shutout Frederick 11-0. With the win, the Hillcats magic number is one to eliminate Wilmington from playoff contention.
Held off the scoreboard in its road finale at Potomac, the Blue Rocks started quickly against Nick McBride (0-5). Jack Lopez doubled to right-center with one out in the bottom of the first, before moving to third on a successful double-steal with Justin Trapp. Lopez then scored on a wild pitch that snuck through the legs of catcher Joe Maloney.
In the second, the Rocks stretched their lead to 3-0. Following a leadoff walk to Daniel Mateo, Sam Bates doubled home his teammate. Later in the inning, Bates scooted to third on a groundball to the right side and scored on an infield single by Ethan Chapman.
However, McBride would settle in after a rocky start. After the two-out single, the righty would set aside the next 14 Wilmington batters he faced. Meanwhile, he would get a lift from his offense in the seventh. Drew Robinson opened the inning with a triple off Daniel Hernandez that snuck under the mitt of a sliding Tim Ferguson in left. Hernandez then plunked Kellin Deglan before Joe Maloney doubled home both runners to cut the Rocks lead to a single run. But the Blue Crew rebuilt its lead in the home-half of the frame. After a double by Bates, Micah Gibbs clubbed an RBI single to center before coming home on a second base knock by Lopez.
From there, the Birds would get no closer, as Hernandez and Malcom Culver combined to retire six straight in the eighth and ninth.
Wilmington continues its series with Myrtle Beach on Wednesday night. Righty J.C. Sulbaran (1-2, 5.65) will take the mound for the Blue Rocks and will be opposed by right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez (0-0, 3.60). First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. and the broadcast can be heard on 89.7 WGLS-FM. For ticket information, fans can call 302-888-BLUE or by visit BlueRocks.com.
Angel Baez turned in his best performance of the season on Tuesday night. Tossing six shutout innings, the righty carried a no-hitter into the fifth, before allowing a one-out single to Royce Bolinger which skidded through the right side. The six frames tied a career-high for Baez who allowed only one hit and struck out five while he negotiated his way around four walks. The longest start of the season for the right-hander, it marked his first six-inning stint since July 30, 2012, when he was pitching for Low-A Kane County. Baez's outing was the culmination of an exciting day for the 22-year-old. Before the game, he was announced as one of Kansas City's eight participants in the Arizona Fall League, and will join current teammate Malcom Culver on the Peoria Javelinas.
Sam Bates turned in his first multi-hit effort as a member of the Blue Rocks in the team's win over Myrtle Beach. Finishing 2-for-4, the Arkansas native added a pair of doubles to go along with an RBI and two runs scored. A player who has provided some pop since his promotion to Advanced-A, five of Bates' first eight hits have gone for extra bases, while he has tallied seven RBIs over his first 11 games in a Wilmington uniform. Joining the club from Rookie-Burlington on August 17, Bates hit .278 with 10 homers and 32 RBIs over 51 games with the Royals.
Ethan Chapman extended his on-base streak to 16 games on Tuesday, thanks to an infield single off Pelicans starter Nick McBride in the bottom of the second. Ending the night 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk, Chapman also pushed his hitting streak to eight games, his longest swing as a member of the Blue Rocks this year. Over Chapman's current eight-gamer, he is batting .333 (10-for-30) with two doubles, an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base. In the process, it has bumped his batting average from .240 up to .254, the highest it has been since July 13. A player who has saved his best baseball for the season's penultimate month, the Rocks outfielder is hitting .298 over 26 games in August.
While Ethan Chapman saw his hitting streak reach eight games in the series opener, Daniel Mateo was unable to record a knock for the ninth straight game. On the night, the Rocks infielder went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. Meanwhile, it marked the first time since August 18 that he had failed to record a hit. Over his season-best eight-game streak, Mateo posted a line of .357 (10-for-28) with two homers, two doubles, seven RBIs and three runs scored. Over that time, his batting average jumped from .230-.239.
Jack Lopez turned in his second multi-hit effort in as many nights, finishing 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. It marked the first time that Lopez had recorded two or more hits in back-to-back games since July 26-27, while he is 4-for-8 over his last two contests. Prior to the two-game surge, the Puerto Rico native was mired in a 1-for-17 slump. Among active players, Lopez is third on the club in multi-hit games this year (24), while he will be searching for several more over the next few days to finish August strong. After batting .295 in the month of June, and .264 in July, Lopez is hitting just .214 over 24 games in the season's second-to-last month.

Bulls' 11-Run Fifth Inning Leads to 14-5 Victory
By USF
Related Links
TAMPA In the second of three games against Marshall (3-5), the University of South Florida (5-4) baseball team pulled off another impressive win defeating the Thundering Herd, 14-5 Saturday night.
The Bulls' offense put up 11 runs in the bottom of the fifth, similar to last night's eight-run rally in the bottom of the fourth, to put the game well in hand. USF put together a team effort to secure the 2-0 lead in the series against the Thundering Herd, as eight Bulls collected a hit and seven picked up an RBI.
"It was exciting to score that many runs," said head coach Lelo Prado. "We're excited and hopefully we can come out tomorrow and get it done. We said we had to apply pressure to this team, and we did that and it has worked in our favor."
Junior righty Matt Quevedo earned his second win of 2009, pitching 4.0 innings, shutting out Marshall and striking out two. He only allowed three hits and did not walk a batter.
Senior Mike Consolmagno collected three hits to lead the Bulls offensively. Senior Chris Rey and junior Peter Brotons each tagged a double and sophomore Jonathan Koscso and redshirt freshman Todd Brazeal both had a pair of hits.
The Thundering Herd came out strong, pushing ahead of the Bulls 5-1 in the top of the fourth. Marshall's offense looked to pose a threat in the fourth inning when they scored three runs on the Bulls, but USF scored two in the fourth and 11 in the fifth to seal the fifth victory of the season.
Marshall started the game by scoring one run from one hit in the first, but the Bulls answered with a run from a pair of hits to tie the game. Marshall added one in the second and three more in the fourth.
Down 5-1 in the bottom of the fourth, USF's offense heated up as Rey led off with a double. Sophomore Junior Carlin hit a grounder up the middle to the shortstop, but was safe on a bad throw. Freshman Sam Mende moved the runners over on a grounder, and senior Trey Manz singled to center scoring both Rey and Carlin.
Stull answered with a three up, three down inning to carry the Bulls into their rally inning. Stull, USF's starting pitcher, finished the night with three strikeouts in 4.0 innings, allowing five runs from seven hits while walking five.
The Bulls' marathon inning began with a lead off single by Consolmagno, who then stole second. Sophomore Ryan Lockwood walked and then advanced to second on a throwing error. Brazeal singled to center to score Lockwood, then moved to second on another Marshall throwing error. Carlin and Mende walked to load the bases for Manz, who drew another walk, scoring Brazeal. Brotons, who turned 21 years old today, doubled to bring in Carlin and Mende. Lockwood returns to the plate and reaches first on an error, which allowed Manz to cross the plate. This brings up Koscso, who singled to third base, which drove in Brotons. Brazeal singled down the left field line to score Lockwood. Rey reached on a fielder's choice, which allowed Koscso to score. Carlin then punched a hit out to left field, driving in Brazeal. The inning concluded with 11 runs, six hits, four errors and two men left on base.
Seeing 18 batters step to the plate in the fifth inning silenced Marshall, as they were unable to put any more runs on the board.
Junior RHP Andrew Salgueiro closed the game for the Bulls, striking out one in his 1.0 inning on the mound.
USF will look to complete the sweep on Sunday against Marshall. A
"We've got to have the mind set of conference play, of getting the sweep," added Prado. "If we drop one tomorrow, what we did tonight and last night just isn't good enough then."
The first pitch is set for 11 a.m. at Red McEwen Field in Tampa.

Printer-Friendly version
The other famous faces in this film include a very young Anthony Edwards and Eric Stoltz who also hang out with Spicoli and his stoner buds. Small roles (they are both credited as Stoner Buds) but Eric Stoltz looks real good, ladies. We even have Forest Whitaker in a small but cool role as the athlete, as well as an appearance by a 17 year-old unknown named Nicolas Coppola, (who would later become Nicolas Cage) but it is real quick as I barely recall seeing him in the film…but he's there. Lastly, Jennifer Jason Leigh plays the main role here, as the fresh faced and lovely Stacy Hamilton, Brad's sister, and she gets herself in and then out of trouble with different boys. The music is pure 80's trash, the Go-Go's, the Cars and Oingo Boingo are among the artists featured on the soundtrack. First-time screenwriter Cameron Crowe of ALMOST FAMOUS fame wrote this classic, an inside look into the lives of American teens living in the 1980's, the decade of bad fashion (Pat Benatar look-alikes abound here) and bad music (I generalize, some music of the 80's does rock, such as Depeche Mode for example). A sad note: by checking the credits of the film on IMDB.COM, I noticed a famous name from the recent news pages: Lana Clarkson, the actress found shot dead in record producer Phil Spector's house in the summer of 2003, she had a small and non-speaking part in this film as Mr. Vargas' gorgeous wife. It was funny because Mr. Vargas looks quite creepy in the film, and then we see his wife, a model look-alike and that is what is so funny, no one expected him to have a wife like that!

4.5 stars 12 totalReview Sheila Ridgway
Posted by Helen
I was referred to Sheila by my first probate attorney because he thought I would need Sheila's litigation experience. Rather than an excruciating and expensive litigation experience, Sheila's professional acumen ruled the day, gently reining in two inexperienced and error-prone attorneys working for a hostile and aggressive beneficiary who challenged my administration of the estate. As others have noted, Sheila is able to acknowledge the emotional toll of such a challenge while gently and repeatedly bringing the client (me, in this case) back to the practical matters at hand. Aside from her own experitise, her staff is wall-to-wall wonderful, talented, and patient. Sheila also gave me excellent referrals to another terrific attorney to deal with real estate and a child's trust, and also a CPA who worked miracles. All-in-all, first class; hire Sheila.
Posted by Susan
Sheila helped me with a difficult and stressful family situation. What I appreciate most was her ability to come up with innovative, creative ideas and solutions. This allowed me to move forward with confidence in pursuing and resolving the issue rather than waiting for another party to initiate legal action. We achieved a positive outcome within a shorter time period. She kept me focused on the big picture as opposed to all the emotional details. I felt she had a high level of knowledge and understanding of the issue at hand, the law, and the best way to navigate through the process. I highly recommend Sheila.
Posted by Michele P.
It's sad when a loved one dies how greedy and ruthless relatives can become when there is money involved. Wills, trusts and estates are complex matters and if you determine you need to hire an attorney, you really need to find the best attorney you can to represent your interests. Should you need to look at contesting a will, you need to hire an attorney who has probate litigation expertise and experience.
Sheila Ridgway was referred to me by another trust and estate planning attorney, Eric Fahlman, who did not have probate litigation expertise.
I met and hired Sheila in May 2009 and my matter was resolved in December 2009.
I highly recommend hiring Sheila if you need assistance in any will, trust, estate or probate matter that might require litigation. Sheila is sharp, responsive, communicates legal jargon in simple terms so you can understand, is compassionate, really cares about you and doing the right thing, is fair about her billing, and gets results.
Sheila is recognized as one of Washington's leading probate litigation attorneys. She has excellent credentials. She has served as the Chair of the Probate Litigation and Ethics seminar sponsored by the King County Bar Association since 1998. She has spoken at many legal seminars on behalf of the Washington State and King County Bar Associations on estate and trust litigation and probate.
Sheila is highly regarded among her peers: Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Rated "Bar Register of Preeminent Women Lawyers" and has been recognized in Seattle Met Magazine, 2010 Top Lawyer.
Most people do not enjoy dealing with legal matters or attorneys, but I can honestly say it was a positive experience working with Sheila. She's good and I highly recommend hiring her for any will, trust, estate, or probate matter.
With sincere recommendation,

The two negative reviews here look like they were written by the same person. Everyone's ends up with at least one sour apple I suppose! My experiences with Sheila were completely contrary. She was well prepared, intelligent, very capable, and very helpful. Her fees were reasonable and her willingness to make herself available when I had questions was amazing. In short - highly recommended!

Our family was unwillingly forced into a challenging and difficult contested probate matter. Ms. Ridgway was not only extremely professional, she helped us navigate unfamiliar laws and court proceedings with ease. We were very happy that she was able to help us settle the matter before it proceeded to a full-blown trial. We were very pleased with both the final outcome as well as Ms. Ridgway's representation. At all times, we found her to be extremely responsive and considerate of our concerns. She fully explained our options and chances for success. I personally found Ms. Ridgway to be a pleasant and knowledgeable individual.
Having read the negative reviews on this web site, I can only conclude that the reviewers have accidentally posted their reviews on the wrong attorney's listing. None of the descriptions are at all applicable to this attorney or her representation of our family.

Sheila provided excellent advice and support through a highly contested probate. She started representing me by getting a reduction in legal fees from the law firm that had originally been retained, which overcharged us for what should have been a simple matter. She continued to represent me in a claim against the estate, which was successfully settled to my satisfaction. Throughout all of this, Sheila and her firm provided excellent support, advice and was very fair in her billing. I would recommend Sheila and her firm to anyone in need of a probate litigator who listens to her client, provides excellent legal advice, and responsive to client needs .

As executor for my late partner's estate, I was overwhelmed. The task was complex because of the extraordinary nature of the estate. A friend recommended I speak to Sheila. She immediately recognized the uniqueness of the situation and became my sensitive and trusted guide throughout probate. I found her to be professional, accessible, diligent, and completely reliable.

Miss Ridgway handled a massive litigation case for us against unimaginable odds. She was consistent, legally apt and responded to opposing council without being mean-spirited. The opposing council displayed the treacherous side of representation, it would have embarassed our side.
Miss Ridgway was quick to respond to any questions we had. The billing was accurate and monthly. We have had lawyers that do not know what a monthly statement should look like.
We highly recommend the Ridgway and Gafken group in Seattle.

I am very pleased with the way Sheila handled my legal matter. She kept me informed and focused on what was important to my case. Sheila has the ability to set her client(s) at ease. Sheila is never hesitant to take on a challenge. Her strategies are professional and concrete, bringing about victory for the client. I would highly recommend her. In my opinion, she is exceptional in her field.

She made a very large amount of money for spinning wheels and producing little. When it came down to the wire she was unprepared which was obvious to the other side, and belately to me. She was a strong asset to the opposing side. Charming while she is making money off a client but watch out because she is untrustworthy.
