Re: Right handed or left? Why?
I'm with you on this. I'm right handed, cast w/ my right, and reel w/ my left. This is how I learned w/ a spinning rod, and I adapted this to when I learned to flyfish. I've always wondered myself why anyone would switch hands while reeling a fish in. I had to google it for my own knowledge and this is what Orvis says.....
From Orvis website -
Should I reel right- or left-handed
By Tom Rosenbauer
One of the most frequent questions we get from people setting up a new fly-fishing outfit is: Should I reel right-handed or left-handed?
The answer is yes.
Im not trying to be cute, but you can reel with either hand. There is no right or wrong answer. Most right-handers who have grown up spin fishing are more comfortable reeling with their left hand, and today about 80% of the reels we mount are for left-hand-wind, which equates to the rough percentage of right-handers in the population.
However, there are still some old-fashioned fly fishers (like me) who are right-handed yet reel with our right hand. Why? 40 years ago, when I began fly fishing, it was pretty much tradition that when you hooked a fish, you switched the rod to your other, less dominant hand and reeled with your right hand. Ive heard that this dates back to salmon fishing, in the days when a salmon rod might weigh 10 ounces. After casting a big rod like this all day long, when you did hook a fish you wanted to both give your dominant hand a break and be able to use the hand which gives you most dexterity to crank the reel.
I do know that after a long day casting a 12-weight rod, or after holding a 10-foot steelhead rod high to get a good drift, Ive been very happy to switch hands when I play a fish to give my casting hand a break.
Pick up a rod and decide which hand feels more comfortable when reeling. And if you decide to change, it takes less than 15 minutes to re-spool your line and backing and switch your drag over. (The line direction needs to be switched so you dont have to reel backwards. The drag has to be switched because the line out tension on the line is different and is adjustable, whereas the line in or reeling tension is always set at a minimum to make reeling the line easier.)
But the choice is yours. Dont let anybody tell you there is a right or wrong way to reel.

TNT has greenlighted another drama pilot, Mike Robe's Bird Dog, which has received a cast-contingent order. The project, from Warner Horizon, is a mystery fashioned around an unlikely partnership of two cops who happen to be father and daughter. It centers on Gail McGrath, who followed in her father's footsteps in becoming a police officer but had little else in common with him. She left the big city she grew up in to move to a small Pacific Northwestern town where she was patrolling the streets until her dad, a NYC cop, showed up on her front doorstep and join her as her new partner. Now this father-daughter team, call sign "Bird Dog," is being put to the test — not only in solving crimes, but with each other. Robe (Shake, Rattle & Roll) wrote the script and is attached to direct and executive produce the pilot. The pickup comes on the heels of the network putting one of its recently ordered pilots, noir PI drama Hollywood & Vine, on hold because of difficulties casting it. Word spread quickly that TNT was planning to make another pickup in its place. Bird Dog is in the same crime/mystery genre and from the same studio, Warner Horizon, as Hollywood & Vine. Bird Dog joins 3 other pilots ordered by TNT last month: Dallas, Perception and an untitled project from Allan Loeb.
TNT Picks Up 'Bird Dog' Cop Pilot

Love the concept.
oh…yippeee…another new cop show…haven't seen one…this week.
What's terrific and really novel and inventive is that THIS PARTICULAR crime show has a family angle (Female Cop and grizzled Dad team up to fight crime) which is something no other crime show seems to possess right now.
Hold on. Strike that. They ALL seem to.
Seriously. If it's a 21st Century crime show and not one of those boring-ass "lightboard procedurals" then it has to have a family angle.
So forget ROCKFORD and COLUMBO and MANNIX and MCLOUD and SWAT and THE ROOKIES and PETER GUNN and hundreds of other crime shows from years gone by that managed to tell great stories without some lame-o family connection, the mandate now seems to be: What is the family angle?
What gives?
hey this looks like it could be fun. So wish that some might give it a chance a Daughter and Father cop show and they end up being partners could work and be fun to watch.
and its on TNT heck they can push it more then a network would ever do so it will be something more then a ROCKFORD or any other cop shows on the air. WAY TO GO TNT keep it up.
Well, Eliza Dushku signed on for the role of daughter, so I will give it a shot!

hox - Friday, February 23, 2007 - linkLooking at your evaluation of this cooler, the screen shot you provide of the Nvidia monitoring software shows a Cpu temp of 49C and a system temp of 35C. Since you state you used this software to monitor temps during your evaluation could you please explain how the worst heat sink (intel stock cooler) started at 41C at idle. What heat sink was in place during your screen shot of the nvidia software? Also more information is needed to evaluate the product, in particular what is the fan arrangement in the mid tower case? Fan Number, CFM, size etc. The performance of each heatsink is highly dependent on the supplied flow of air, and there is considerable variability in how each heat sink works with the available flow. Knowing more about your standard set up would be helpful. Finally many users of the Qx6700 cpu have reported a higher initial tempearture value for this cpu. It would be nice to see in your evaluations an assessment of this processor as it typically runs 10 degrees C hotter than the dual core extremes. Reply
customcoms - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkFor more information, and real world tests by some of the top overclockers out there, check out this thread: http://www.diy-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6...">http://www.diy-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6...
There are real world temperatures AND comparisons with other top cooling, including water. In essence, the results you see here are VERY typical. For instance, processors that would top out at 2.9ghz under HIGH END, CUSTOM WATERCOOLING (TDX block etc.) would then push on to hit 3ghz+ with the TEC. Personally, I'd rather spend the $90 on a the monsoon to reach higher clocks than $300+ watercooling setups, and not have to worry about leakage.
Avalon - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkThe Coolit Eliminator sells for about $200, and is similar to the Freezone. I'd definitely like to see a comparison of either. Good review. Reply
nickfd - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkFor my next rig, I want to use peltier/TEC, but I dont want a 2 pound block on my CPU. I want to use a 1/2" tube liquid loop with reservoir, radiator, and pump. Does anyone have, or can recommend a combination liquid/peltier block, or could point me in direction to look?
Thanks much! Reply
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkThe Coolit Freezone is a liquid/TEC combo. See comments above for more Freezone info. Reply
Tiamat - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkSince the peltier "runs" at about 77 F, and it hits about 90 - 110 F in the summer depending on where you live, I wonder if condensation will become a problem for this circumstance. Reply
mpc7488 - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkIf it's 110 degrees in your house, I feel for you and suggest you sink the $89 towards Central A/C.
In all honesty though, condensation is a concern, my brother smoked 2 machines when experimenting with Peltier cooling, water dripped from the heatsink down into the socket. Reply
ViperV990 - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkShouldn't the target temperature on the cold side of the TEC be the case ambient temperature around the processor to avoid condensation altogether? Reply
cheetah2k - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkI think that the comparison with the other coolers is very primitive. You should compare this to the likes of the Coolit Freezone or Eliminator as they too are TEC related coolers. I have the Freezone myself, and i enjoy the overclocking boost it gives my AMD FX-60 sitting stable at 3.15Ghz at 1.52v
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkWe wanted to get a wider variety of coolers in our database before tackling the Frezzone review. It should also be pointed out that the self contained six-TEC liquid cooled Freezone has a retail price of $400 and a street price of around $300. This is considerably more expensive than the $89 street price of the Monsoon II Lite. We have heard great things about the Freezone, and we do have one in the lab for testing. However, it is certainly in a different price category than the Monsoon II Lite, which is closer in price to heatpipe tower air coolers. Reply
nickfd - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkCan you post a review/link to review for this cooler? Reply
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkThe Freezone is in our testing calendar and it will definitely be compared to the Monsoon II Lite. Reply
jvuser - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkIt is not recommended to run TEC/peltiers by thermostatic switching. This leads to excessive stresses and preliminary failure. See datasheets at www.marlow.com. Reply
DrMrLordX - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkReviews I've seen of the original Vigor Monsoon II seem to reflect your findings, except:
1). The Monsoon II works much better when modded to work with a better 92mm fan (not easy to do)
2). The Monsoon II works better in cases with good airflow
You didn't mention the case or case fans used, and you barely showed a picture of the test system. Could you please elabourate on the airflow situation in which you tested the Monsoon II? Also, are you able to include a Titan Amanda in your test as well?
It is good that the Monsoon II will now be available at a lower price. Reply
RobFDB - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkFrom your results the only advantage the Monsoon II Lite seems to give the EU is maybe 60 more mhz. Aside from that it costs more than the Tuniq 120, it doesn't cool as well, it adds 50w of power to your overall consumption and it's noisier. Sure it's an innovative idea, but it doesn't actually help out the EU. Reply
Jodiuh - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkExactly what I wanted to say. I'm one of those "will give up OC for a nice quiet room" guys. And I actually replaced the Tuniq fan w/ a Scythe SFLEX. :D Reply
SurJector - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkI totally agree as well. Additionally the sentence
There is no reason this cooler should be noisier than the best tower coolers available.
is incorrect: the air cooler has to cool 49 more W. If the processor consumes 150W and the Peltier element 49W (leaving 1W for the fan), then the radiator has 199W to cool down instead of 150W. It is very tricky to cool down a Peltier element without noise. In that case, I would say that they did not succeed: the processor is warmer and the fan noisier. The additional 60MHz (i.e. 1.5%) look insignificant, at least to me. Reply
Wesley Fink - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkThe noise level with the TEC and fan running at full speed is still much lower than the stress sound levels we measured. Most of the added noise is the buzzing, pops, and clicks from the fan being controlled simultaneously with the TEC. As we said in the review the fan running continously is much quieter.
Vigor says they are aware of the issues and they are working to separately control the fan and TEC with the controller. This will definitely reduce noise levels. Reply
DigitalFreak - Tuesday, February 06, 2007 - linkI totally agree. While it's a novel idea, the only plus it has over the Tuniq 120 is an extra 60Mhz overclock. When I get my C2D or C2Q system, I'm going with the Tuniq. Reply

I have a good job, awesome friends and a great family. I'm thankful for everything I have and am inspired by new people everyday. I like watching movies at the theatre or at home. I like to read and really enjoy music.. all kinds from punk to some country.
I find it hard to sell myself online in a way that will sound intelligent or attractive to others.. I have recently gone through a very hard breakup and I could really use some new friends so send me a message if you'd like to chat!
I like playing most sports, although I don't care for baseball. I play sponge hockey, ice hockey, ball hockey.. I love hockey. My favourite teams are the Vancouver Canucks and the Detroit Red Wings.
I like to play guitar and I have been in a few bands. There's no feeling quite like being on stage and playing music for people. I play guitar and bass. I have one tattoo (it's a chocobo.. bonus points if you know what that is!) and I plan on getting a phoenix soon... sort of something to make me feel better about my recent breakup.
Anything else just ask! Don't be shy! I like to talk about pretty much anything, and I like hearing about other people's lives more than I enjoy talking about myself. I don't like mind games, liars, cheaters, mean spirited people, alcoholics, chain smokers, arrogant people so if that's not you, we'll probably get along just fine!
As for music I love all kinds of different genres.. punk rock, hardcore, ska, reggae, blues, rock, pop, country, alternative, industrial, metal, anything that sounds good!
My favourite food is Ukrainian. Although I'm not too picky about food.. I don't care much for seafood.

Gnudi à la Massimo Bruno
Serves 6
2 large bags fresh spinach, large stems removed, washed well
4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
about 600g ricotta, preferably fresh, drained overnight in a fine sieve in cheesecloth over a bowl
about 100g freshly grated Parmesan-Reggiano cheese
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Semolina or flour, for dusting
1 stick (about 120g) unsalted butter
4 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh sage, plus about 8 leaves
For the gnudi:
Steam the spinach until wilted and bright green. Drain, and press excess water out using the back of a spoon and the sieve and let cool slightly. Roll spinach in paper towel and continue to squeeze to remove remaining liquid. Roughly chop (I used kitchen scissors).
Combine spinach, egg yolks, ricotta, cheese, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper until all ingredients are well incorporated. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rest in fridge for a couple of hours.
Flour your hands and, using two small spoons, shape small rounds of the mixture (think fat ravioli size!). Roll the rounds in flour and shake off excess. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate or keep cool until ready to cook.
For the butter sage sauce:
Melt the butter in a small saucepan until bubbling. Roughly chop the sage and add to butter. Remove from heat and allow butter to infuse with sage flavour until ready to use. You might need to remelt this before coating the gnudi.
To cook:
Preheat oven to 400F.
Brush the gnudi with the melted butter/ sage mix and bake for 10-15 minutes. You can broil them on high for a couple of minutes at the end to get a crispy browning on the outside. Drizzle with the remainder of the butter mix and perhaps a few finely chopped sage leaves.

Coming Attractions
Published 5:36 pm, Wednesday, May 1, 2013
The Great Gatsby Leonardo DiCaprio is the latest Jay Gatsby, stepping into the fancy shoes worn by Robert Redford (in 1974) and Alan Ladd (1949). This looks like an opulent, glistening, over-the-top adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's jazz-age novel, which figures, since director Baz Luhrmann ("Moulin Rouge," "Romeo + Juliet") Is known for this sort of thing. Tobey Maguire is Nick Carraway, Gatsby's neighbor; Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan is Daisy Buchanan, Gatsby's pre-war love. The soundtrack is decidedly hip-hop and rock (Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Jack White, will.i.am, Florence + the Machine), not jazz.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist A Pakistani man (Riz Ahmed) with a Princeton education, a Wall Street job and an American girlfriend (Kate Hudson) sees his life fall apart after 9/11. He returns home and becomes a professor and political leader in Lahore, where he is interviewed by an American journalist (Liev Schreiber) who suspects he's involved in the recent kidnapping of an American professor on campus. Based on the 2007 novel by Moshin Hamid; directed by Mira Nair ("Amelia," "Vanity Fair," "Mississippi Masala").
Tyler Perry Presents Peeples It may have the Perry brand, but this tale of a well-to-do family (dubbed "the chocolate Kennedys" in the trailer) whose reunion in the Hamptons takes an unexpected turn was written and directed by Tina Gordon Chism, who wrote "Drumline" (Perry is a co-producer). Craig Robinson plays a middle-class, fish-out-of-water guy trying to impress his would-be father-in-law (David Alan Grier); Kerry Washington is his fiancée. Lots of awkward comic hi-jinks ensue, apparently.

"A quiet triumph, moving and simple–impossible to describe accurately, and impossible to achieve in any medium but comics."
–The Washington Post
"Spiegelman has turned the exuberant fantasy of comics inside out by giving us the most incredible fantasy in comics' history: something that actually occurred…. The central relationship is not that of cat and mouse, but that of Art and Vladek. Maus is terrifying not for its brutality, but for its tenderness and guilt."
–The New Yorker
"All too infrequently, a book comes along that's as daring as it is acclaimed. Art Spiegelman's Maus is just such a book."
"An epic story told in tiny pictures."
–The New York Times
"A remarkable work, awesome in its conception and execution… at one and the same time a novel, a documentary, a memoir, and a comic book. Brilliant, just brilliant."

Nigeria: Workers kidnapped, guard killed
Published 10:49 pm, Sunday, February 17, 2013
Bauchi, Nigeria --
Gunmen attacked a camp for a construction company in rural northern Nigeria, killing a guard and kidnapping seven foreign workers from Britain, Greece, Italy, Lebanon and the Philippines, authorities said Sunday, in the biggest kidnapping yet in a region under attack by Islamic extremists.
The attack Saturday night happened in Jama'are, a town in Bauchi state. The gunmen attacked a camp for Lebanese construction company Setraco, which is building a road in the area, said police spokesman Hassan Muhammed. The gunmen shot dead a guard at the camp before kidnapping the foreign workers.
One Briton, one Greek, one Italian, three Lebanese and one Filipino were kidnapped, said Adamu Aliyu, the chairman of the local government area that encompasses Jama'are. He said one of the hostages is a woman, while the rest are men.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the abductions, though Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north has been under attack by the radical Islamic sect known as Boko Haram in the past year and a half. The sect is blamed for killing at least 792 people in 2012 alone, according to an Associated Press count.
Latest news videos
Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the Hausa language of Nigeria's north, has demanded the release of all its captive members and called for strict Shariah law to be implemented across the country.
Foreigners, long abducted by militant groups and criminal gangs for ransom in Nigeria's oil-rich southern delta, have increasingly been attacked in Nigeria's north as the violence has grown.
Foreign embassies in Nigeria have issued travel warnings regarding northern Nigeria for months. Worries about abductions have increased in recent weeks with the French military intervention in Mali, as its troops and Malian soldiers try to root out Islamic fighters who took over that nation's north in the months after a military coup.
Last week, the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, put out a warning after the killings of polio workers in the northern city of Kano and the slaying of North Korean doctors.
"The security situation in some parts of Nigeria remains fluid and unpredictable," the embassy said.

Developers are continuing to find ways for technology to handle even the most minor kitchen work so people can dedicate more time to gaining weight and watching reality TV. In this case, the act of stirring is targeted by this Pegtop ridged mug that automatically stirs its contents when spun on a plate.
Instead of a smooth inner surface, the mug has a pair of rounded angled ridges on the inside that serve to mix up the liquids inside as it turns. So if you know how to spin a top, you've already got the hang of using it.
You can check out a video of the mug in action after the jump – however, the link claiming to offer pre-order information is dead, so who the hell knows what will become of this.

Wodzisław Śląski – a county town – is located in Silesia. There are 50,500 inhabitants. It lies in the south of the Rybnik Plateau, upon the river of Lesznica (the right-bank tributary of the Odra).
Adam Marczewski
During the first Silesian War in 1742, most of the Silesia was under the rule of the Prussian Kingdom (except for the Cieszyn Silesia and the Duchy of Opawa).
The Silesian Jews welcomed the Prussian rule with big hopes for a better life. A Jewish historian, Rabbi Marcus Brann, described the current mood in the following way: "The oppressed Jews, full of hope and trust, turned to the young Prussian king, who in December entered Silesia; the Jews hoped that a ray of justice and clemency would finally lighten their dark paths of life." .
At first, the Prussian authorities treated the Silesian Jews with indifference. However, after some time, Casear Friderick II started to limit the freedom of the Jewish community through various taxes, thanks to which the country had some economic benefits.
On April 17, 1750, Prussian authorities issued The General Prussian Regulations and General Privileges, which in detail described the legal, social, political and economic situation of the Jews. Jacob Jacobson wrote the following about the regulations: "As everywhere in Germany, the General Regulations have been thought through in such a way as to limit the Jews living in the country to a specific number, to allow them to run strictly determined businesses within the economic system of the nation and to impose on them the highest taxes in return for protection and tolerance of their stay.
The most important legal act regulating the status of the Jews in Silesia (except for Wrocław and Głogów) was the so-called "Juden Reglement" issued on 2 December 1751. It imposed on the landowners and town halls the duty to report to the district authority office and royal tolerance office any case of Jewish settlement within 14 days. This way, a system controlling the influx of Jewish people to Silesia was established. However, the Prussian authorities did not tolerate Jewish beggars and vagabonds .
In September 1768, the Prussian authorities prohibited the Jews from establishing new Jewish cemeteries and building synagogues without paying a special concession fee. The subsequent Prussian orders allowed the Jews to settle only in villages and to work as innkeepers, craftsmen, bakers and tenants of court breweries.
In 1776, the Prussian authorities ordered all Jews living on the left side of Odra to resettle to
Local history
Izrael badacz
The oldest notes about Wodzisław date back to 1239. In 1241 the settlement was destroyed by Tartar hordes. Therefore, Władysław I, the Duke of Opole, decided to restore it by the settlement under medieval German laws granting special entitlements. The initial name of the town – Vladislawia – was given after the duke. The town is thought to have been granted a charter in 1257 after the Franciscan order had been established in the settlement. However, no documents connected with granting the charter have survived. At that time, Wodzisław was one of the most populated and richest towns of Upper Silesia. In the times of Duchess Konstancja (the daughter of Władysław I) the town developed fast. Wodzisław's population was into trade and craft, especially with pottery, weaving and shoemaking. The town had a privilege to organize four markets a year. At the beginning of the 16th century the town became the capital of the State Country of Wodzisław. At that time Wodzisław had a status of a private town. In Habsburg times the town started to get poorer. It was at the time of the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation when the decline of Wodzisław started. As a result of religious contradictions the Thirty Years' War broke out during which the town was burnt. Over the centuries Wodzislaw was hit by a number of natural disasters, for example the hailstorm in 1848 caused famine typhus. After a fire in 1822 the town was restored brick. The first Jews started to settle down in Wodzislaw at the beginning of the 18th century. In 1847 the Jewish community was established. For over the next 100 years being councilmen the Jews had seats on a town council. When Wodzisław was under Prussian rule, the mining industry and craft started to develop gradually. Also, a tanning factory was founded. The process of extending the town resulted in the development of building. In 1882 the railway between Bogumin and Rybnik via Wodzislaw was built.
After the end of both World War I and the Silesian Uprisings, Wodzisław was incorporated into the Republic of Poland. In the interwar period the town still developed economically. Various public societies were founded such as singers' or sport movements.
On the first day of World War II Wodzisław was occupied by the Nazis. Wodzisław was liberated on 26 March 1945 by the Soviet Army and the First Czech &

"I have been beaten before," Osorio admitted. "But never in my life allowed four goals in the first half. It was atrocious defending. It looks like a shootout game for both teams. For a fan, probably good. For a coach, total chaos. Really, really poor defending, nine goals in one game, but we got the worst of it, no points, so I'm very disappointed."
I think we've got the picture. On-loan Venezuelan defender Gabriel Cichero certainly did after he was subbed out at halftime. But wait, Osorio's not finished yet: "To concede five goals in 90 minutes to me is really bad. Never mind four goals in the first half. Last game we couldn't score any goals. Today we score four and it wasn't enough." Okay, okay, enough already!
"If you score four goals and you cannot get at least a point, that means that your defending is really, really poor..." [Exeunt journalists from locker room screaming, with fingers in ears.]

Last Sunday, the day Ehud Olmert resigned as prime minister of Israel, a newspaper ran a cartoon of him clearing out his desk and telling his expected successor, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, "I'll just collect the last envelopes and be out of here."
If the humor seems obscure from afar, the point is that envelopes are no longer innocent objects in Israeli politics. Mr. Olmert agreed to step down more than two years early because of allegations that as Jerusalem's mayor and Israel's industry minister he took cash-stuffed envelopes from an American businessman.
Whatever happens to Mr. Olmert — he says he will be exonerated — he is leaving in disgrace. Yossi Sarid, a former cabinet minister, summed up the feelings of many when he wrote, "Perhaps only his closest aides and a few personal friends will wipe away a tear."
But it turns out that there are others who deeply regret Mr. Olmert's departure: many in the nation's peace camp. Never mind, they say, that Mr. Olmert came from the hawkish right and that they despised him for decades; he now embraces the need for a negotiated peace accord with the Palestinians, and indeed the entire Arab world, as a practical necessity and possibility, in a way that no other Israeli leader ever has. And now, having allowed himself to be dragged down by money, he will not be able to bring his efforts to fruition. This, they say, is the Greek tragedy of Ehud Olmert.

British scientist criticises US climate 'loonies'
Page Tools
THE growing ferocity of hurricanes hitting the United States is probably caused by global warming, a British scientist says.
Sir John Lawton, chairman of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution, which advises the British Government, yesterday criticised what he termed US climate loonies.
The Independent newspaper called his comments a thinly disguised attack on the stance of US President George Bush's Administration on climate change.
"The increased intensity of these kinds of extreme storms is very likely to be due to global warming," Sir John said. "It looks like a smoking gun.
"If this makes the climate loonies in the States realise we've got a problem, some good will come out of a truly awful situation."
Less than a month after hurricane Katrina devastated large areas of the US Gulf Coast, hurricane Rita was roaring through the Gulf of Mexico towards the centre of the US oil industry.
Asked what conclusion the Bush Administration should draw from two powerful hurricanes hitting the United States in quick succession, Sir John said: "There are a group of people in various parts of the world who simply don't want to accept human activities can change climate and are changing the climate.
"I'd liken them to the people who denied that smoking causes lung cancer."

Weekly Insect Bytes from the Entomology Team
Posted: July 15, 2011
The movement of brown marmorated stink bug summer adults from outside hosts into orchards (or other crops) could now become a significant source of new infestation. Other insect pests to be monitoring are Japanese beetle, codling moth and Oriental fruit moth.
Dr. Greg Krawczyk and Dr. Larry Hull, Penn State Fruit Research and Extension Center Entomologists
The insect pest control updates presented below are for the south-central part of Pennsylvania based on observations in Adams County.
Current pest status
- This past week we continued to observe brown marmorated stink bug eggs, adults, and all instar nymphs in both stone and pome fruit orchards and in surrounding vegetation. Although the visual monitoring still remains the best monitoring technique, finally the currently available traps and lures utilizing another stink bug (Plautia stali) aggregation pheromone started to capture higher numbers of BMSB nymphs (no BMSB adults in traps as of now). The BMSB adults from the overwintering generation are much less abundant but they are still present and continue to deposit eggs. This past week, we also detected the first summer generation adults, observed mostly in vegetation around orchards. The movement of summer adults from outside hosts into orchards (or other crops) could become a significant source of new infestation. While the nymphal feeding in orchards can be reduced by effective and well-timed insecticide treatments, the feeding by continuously wandering BMSB adults is very difficult to control. The choice of insecticides directed against other pests should control the portion of BMSB population present in orchards. With at least 12 more weeks of the current growing season to go, it is extremely important that growers plan ahead with the choice of products utilized against BMSB, and preserve the most effective options, with the shortest PHI, for applications when the pressure from this pest will increase, especially in the later part of the season. Please see the special BMSB issue of the PSU Fruit Times Newsletter for our most current BMSB management recommendations: http://frec.cas.psu.edu/pdf/StinkBug2011FT.pdf
- Japanese beetle adults are being observed in many orchards. Neonicotinoid insecticides recommended for the control of aphids or stink bug should provide good control/suppression of this pest.
- The codling moth (CM) second generation flight started in some orchards. Due to discrepancies observed between the predictive CM egg hatch model and the actual situation in orchards, we strongly recommend use of the actual observations from an orchard as the main factor in deciding if and/or when control measures are necessary. Applications of Altacor, Belt, Delegate, Tourismo, or Voliam Flexi or Voliam Xpress should provide excellent control of CM.
- From about this time of the season we will see continuous flight of overlapping generations of Oriental fruit moth (OFM). As with CM populations, please use the actual local orchard observations (e.g., pheromone trap data and/or fruit injuries from the earlier generation) as the main factor for deciding about the necessity for OFM control. Materials listed for the control of CM will also control OFM.
- If control of European red mite is still needed, acaricides such as Acramite, Envidor, Portal, Kanemite, Nexter or Zeal should be considered for mite control at this time of the season.
- The 2011 season biofix for the Oriental fruit moth was established on April 19, codling moth on May 7, tufted apple bud moth on May 11, obliquebanded leafroller on May 29, spotted tentiform leafminer on April 06 and red banded leafroller on April 5.

+0 on implementing a self-link feature.
-1 on implementing it via the TOC backlinks feature, which is orthogonal. This has nothing to do with the TOC.
In rst2html, you have three choices regarding to generating toc backlinks:
However I would like each section title to have a link to itself, or at least
some anchor that allows to have the link to the current section, regardless
whether there's a toc in the document or not.
This is very handy when referencing online documents. Sphinx does something similar by using an on-hover pilcrow:
after each section title, there's pilcrow (on hover) linking to the current
See the discussion at:
<<Use case:
I often need a reference to a section in the docs when answering a question
here or at the Sphinx list. Then, usually I open the HTML version of the
doc, check the content and copy the link from there.
a) With a toc and --toc-entry-backlinks (or a small toc and
--top-toc-backlinks), it is straightforward to
* click at the section heading -> brings you to the toc,
* right-click at the toc entry and select "copy link address",
* paste the link in the editor.
b) Without a toc or with --no-toc-backlinks, this work-flow does not work:
* no "copyable link" in the document without a toc
* "copyable link" in the toc not easy to find when reading the section with
So, while I don't like Sphinx's "pop-up" pilcrows, I see their use in case
b) (and for other referencable objects).
You could file a feature request at the tracker
Alternatively, we could offer a new option for the `toc_backlinks` setting:
Enable backlinks from section titles to
* table of contents entries ("entry"),
* to the top of the TOC ("top"),
* to themselves ("self"),
* or disable ("none").
together with a --self-backlinks command line option.
Then, with toc_backlinks == "self", right-click on a section title would
allow to copy the sections URL.>>
That's exactly my use case as well: I generate online documents with rst2html all the time, and whenever I need to reference to a document I usually do link to the relevant section.
I was already aware of the "entry" option (to toc, then get the url), but that's rather inconvenient, and as you say it doesn't work whenever the toc is missing.
I'm personally fine with either the Sphinx solution ("on-hover pilcrow", which would be easy enough to customize via css) or via the "self" behavior (which I like much more at the moment. Admittedly I have never used the back-to-toc feature of the section titles, I would instead certainly use the direct link without further fuss).

Hillsborough leaders move forward with transportation plan
TAMPA, Fla. (970 WFLA) - Hillsborough County leaders decided Tuesday to move ahead with a transportation plan that would be funded by a penny sales tax hike that would be put to a public vote in 2016.
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn says it'll take the next year to convince voters to support the plan.
The proposal includes improved roads, an expanded bus system and even a light rail system.
This policy group will meet again in October after organizers start gathering public input.

It is very simple to add a Twitter feed to your own website without using Twitter's default UI widget, which frankly looks quite ugly. If you want full customization ability, keep on reading and I'll show you what to do using a bit of PHP.
To pull the Tweets from the Twitter API I have created a PHP Function with a few parameters in order to give it some extra flexibility. You are for example able to change the username, amount of tweets to show and whether to show or hide the username that appears first in the tweet when it is pulled from the API.
The Code
Here is the function in question. If you are using WordPress you should consider turning this into its own plugin so that it is available regardless of the theme, however if you really just need it quickly, drop this into your functions.php file.
function latest_tweets($username, $amount = 2, $removeUserID = true){ $doc = new DOMDocument(); $feed = "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=$username"; $doc->load($feed); $outer = '
'; $i = 1; foreach ($doc->getElementsByTagName('item') as $node) { $tweet = $node->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue; if($removeUserID) $tweet = substr($tweet, stripos($tweet, ':') + 1); $tweet = preg_replace('@(https?://([-w.]+)+(:d+)?(/([w/_.]*(?S+)?)?)?)@', '$1', $tweet); $tweet = preg_replace('/@([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/', '@$1', $tweet); $outer .= '
'. $tweet . '
'; if($i++ >= $amount) break; } $outer .= "
"; echo $outer; }
Showing the Tweets
Having created the function, showing the tweets is very easy. The function that you just created can be called as follows:
<?php latest_tweets($username, $amount, $removeUserID); ?>
$username should be your Twitter username.
$amount should be replaced with a number.
$removeUserID can be set to true if you want to remove it or false if you don't.
To have the function show the three latest tweets from @ErikBernskiold without showing my username for every tweet, this is how the function would look:
<?php latest_tweets('ErikBernskiold', 5, true); ?>
Summing it up
This short and simple function is flexible enough to allow you to implement this wherever you need and in any content management system that you wish to use it in.
What ways are you using to show Twitter on your website? Sound off in the comments!

Dear Editor:
I have been reading your articles on parking at the trail head for South Mountain Park. My wife and I just moved to Phoenix from Minnesota. Minnesota parks have a real simple program: Pay $20, get an annual sticker for your car windshield, and you are set to park at any site for a year. I think this would be a much easier system for everyone. We hike the Telegraph and Desert Classic trails multiple times a week and would gladly pay a $20 annual fee to help support the parks and city.

The Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday, June 21, at the Levy County Quilt Museum. Everyone was busy working on various projects – they were quilting on the Watermelon quilt, opening up some of the items that were boxed earlier, washing and drying the items and then putting them out for display. We did have time for visiting and thinking of the ones who were out with sickness or vacation.

Lakers come back to top Thunder in double-overtime thriller
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kobe Bryant scored six of his 26 points in the second overtime, and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied from an 18-point deficit in the second half for a 114-106 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.
"It's not so much that we beat Oklahoma, but how we did it," said Bryant, who shook off a woeful shooting game with two key three-pointers late in regulation. "In the playoffs, particularly if you don't have home-court advantage, you're going to have games like this. We have to have the poise and the confidence to just keep chipping away."
Metta World Peace scored 12 points before getting ejected late in the second quarter for a vicious elbow to the back of James Harden's head while celebrating a dunk. Harden, who had 14 points, briefly returned to Oklahoma City's bench, but didn't play again. Devin Ebanks filled in for World Peace and was assigned to guard Kevin Durant.

STORY: Carmelo Anthony scores 39 in Knicks' win
BOX SCORE: Lakers 114, Thunder 106
"Devin, he really grew up tonight," Bryant said. "He had a tough matchup with Kevin (Durant), but he paid attention in film session …"
Pau Gasol had 20 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists for the Lakers, who made an impressive comeback in their regular-season home finale against off-target Thunder stars Durant and Russell Westbrook, who combined to miss 42 of their 56 shots.
The Lakers did it with an unorthodox lineup featuring seldom-used Ebanks and Jordan Hill alongside Bryant, Gasol and backup point guard Steve Blake, who hit three key 3-pointers. Ebanks had eight points and two key defensive plays in the final minute, while Hill had 14 points and a career high-tying 15 rebounds.
"Being down double digits against a very good team, we could have folded easily," Lakers coach Mike Brown said. "This might have been our best team win of the year."
Durant had 35 points on 11-for-34 shooting and eight rebounds for the Thunder, who led by 11 points with 4 minutes left in regulation. Westbrook had 14 points on 3-for-22 shooting and 10 assists as Oklahoma City fell a full game behind San Antonio atop the Western Conference with its third loss in nine games.
Bryant struggled through the first three quarters of his first home game since April 6 before coming alive down the stretch, including two key 3-pointers in the final minutes of regulation. Bryant then hit the tiebreaking fall-away jumper with 52 seconds left in the second overtime, followed by two free throws as the Lakers hung on.
Serge Ibaka added 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Thunder, who led by 11 points with 4 minutes left in regulation. Westbrook had 14 points on 3-for-22 shooting and 10 assists as Oklahoma City fell a full game behind San Antonio atop the Western Conference with just its third loss in nine games.
Despite the loss, Durant finally passed Bryant in the race for both superstars' third NBA scoring title. Durant, the two-time defending scoring champion, is averaging 27.906 points with two to play, while Bryant — the NBA's top scorer for nearly the entire regular season — slipped back into second at 27.862 points per game with just one game left.
NOTES: Matt Barnes played sparingly while nursing an apparent ankle injury for the Lakers. … The Lakers missed their first eight 3-pointers before Blake's 3 with 4:36 to play. … Bryant wore no support on his knees, and Lakers point guard Ramon Sessions ditched the harness he has worn for several games on his sprained left shoulder. …Derek Fisher got another loud ovation from his longtime Lakers fans when he checked in for the Thunder. The veteran point guard had five points. …Jack Nicholson celebrated his 75th birthday in his usual courtside seat. Other fans near courtside included Denzel Washington, Will Ferrell, Mark Harmon, Ashton Kutcher, Steven Spielberg, Jerry Ferrara and Flea.

"Am I bipolar? I seem to lurch from thinking I'm something different every month, week, day ..." Kassandra shares in frustration. She is only one of hundreds of people who asked Google What Is Wrong with Me? and ended up on this site about bipolar disorder.

It is perfectly normal to have days where you feel low and days when we are on top of the world. The emotional rise and fall of life is part of the human condition. So how can you tell when your experiences are normal and when they've pushed into the extremes of depression or mania associated with bipolar disorder? Should you consider scheduling an appointment to be evaluated by a psychiatrist? Consider three basic rules of thumb: functioning, feeling and family.

Functioning

Are the problems you are experiencing interfering with your ability to function day to day? Have your issues isolated you from other people? Have your problems gotten you in trouble with the law? Do you have trouble attending work regularly or maintaining a job? What about family functionality? Do the demands of your difficulties consistently outweigh the needs of other members of the family?

Feeling

Do you feel like there is something wrong with you – something more than the struggles everyone deals with? Do you feel like you are not getting to experience and enjoy life? Are you overwhelmed handling normal activities? Do you excessively ruminate – worry - over things other people don't even think about?

Family

Is there a history of mental illness in your family? Research conducted by Dr. Maier et al indicates that about 5 to 20% of those with a parent or sibling who has bipolar disorder will also develop bipolar disorder. These studies have also demonstrated that family members with both schizophrenia and unipolar depression are commonly found in the same family tree as those with bipolar disorder.

If you are having difficulty with daily functioning or if you are struggling to feel normal -- most especially over an extended period of time -- then an evaluation by a psychiatrist may be warranted. If you answer yes to either of the first two rules of thumb and you have a family history of mental illness, an unbiased, professional opinion could bring you some peace of mind.

Now, with all of this said, please be aware that even with all three rules of thumb checked off, you might not actually have bipolar disorder. A full medical and psychiatric evaluation conducted by a health care professional is needed to diagnosis bipolar disorder. (See How Is Bipolar Disorder Diagnosed for more details on this.)

GARRY Flitcroft has urged his Chorley side to move "onwards and upwards" after seeing them crowned the pride of Lancashire on Monday night.
Chorley beat Kendal Town 2-1 at the Reebok Stadium to lift the Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy for the first time in 29 years, with Flitcroft now eyeing more league glory.
The Magpies travel to Worksop on Saturday fifth in the Evo-Stik Premier Division, the last of the play-off spots, with Flitcroft desperate to secure a second place finish and home advantage for the end of season lottery.
He has added prolific non-league striker Ciaran Kilheeney to his squad this week as he looks to put his side in pole position for a second successive promotion.
He said: "It was great to win the cup and it was a great performance for the lads. The club continues to move upwards.
"We had more than 2,000 at the Reebok Stadium and the club enjoyed a great night. We are always looking to move onwards and upwards.
"It is back to the league now and our aim has to be to try and finish the season in second, because we think home advantage would be a huge boost in the play-offs.
"You look at the incredible support we got in the play-offs last season to help us get promoted and that undoubtedly would be a massive help again.
"I think Chester are home and hosed. You can't see them losing five games but the other positions are up for grabs."
Kilheeney, 28, has signed from Droylsden and has scored more than 40 goals in two seasons.
Several local businessman, including Ian Currie, helped to finance the move.

Ferndale baseball team taking aim at solid spring after a tough go in 2012
By Mike Moore
Posted April 16, 2013
Eventually, he hopes, John Sibula will get his Ferndale High baseball team outdoors.
At some point, he thinks he'll see exactly what type of team he has and if the guys' performances in the gymnasium so far — all very good — can translate to the actual field.
"We've been outside three times," the Eagles coach said prior to an April 9 practice held in the school's gym. "Until we get out there and see exactly what we've got, it makes things tough."
Sibula paused before continuing.
"But so far, we look good. Real good."
His fingers were crossed as he spoke about a scheduled game the next day, which was eventually canceled.
So, at press time, the Eagles were 0-0 on the season.
"I guess everyone's kind of in the same boat," Sibula said with a laugh.
Yet, as he gauged what the spring could bring, the Ferndale coach is loaded with optimism, fueled by what he's seen, and just whom he has.
"We've got six starters back, mostly guys who are juniors and who have played a lot," Sibula said. "Plus, we've got some good freshmen in the mix, and some good core guys back. We're young, I guess, but we're pretty experienced."
"Sure, we're young, with just a few seniors," senior pitcher Keith Waldrup said. "But we've got good pitching, good defense, and I think we're going to hit the ball pretty well."
Ferndale's youth showed a year ago.
Despite a 7-5 record in the Oakland Activities Association Gold Division, the Eagles were 8-15 overall, ending the year in a Division 2 district final loss.
Immersed in those 15 losses, were six by one run.
"It was just discipline — too many mistakes," junior catcher Robert MacDonald explained. "That's where the experience comes in. The defense is going to be better."
It has to, according to Sibula.
"At any level of baseball, when you throw strikes and play good defense, you have a chance to be in any game," he said. "I feel like our pitchers can do their job. So it comes down to us making the routine plays, routinely. I think these guys are capable of that."
After an 8-1 season on the mound as a junior, Waldrup will anchor the pitching staff.
"I'm confident in our guys," he said. "The core of the defense is back, and with a few guys stepping up, we'll be all right."
Players and Sibula stressed the desire to contend for the league title.
"Absolutely," Sibula said when asked whether this team was good enough to do just that. "We want to be in the mix, and these guys are good enough. It comes down to not giving away extra outs. That cost us last year, but if we cut down on it, we win some games we lost."
The Eagles' next scheduled game is against Southfield-Lathrup at 4:30 p.m. April 17 at home.

The emerald necklace was a prized possession of Magnolia, stolen on her wedding day to Colonel Beauregard.
Early history
Magnolia was going to marry Beauregard on the Delta Queen, but she left him at the altar when she thought he had stolen her emerald necklace. In fact, the necklace was stolen by the captain of the Delta Queen, a rival for her affection, and hidden in the steering wheel of his ship in order to ruin the wedding.
The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries
Daphne Blake found it still hidden in the steering wheel decades later. It was the object of Pops Baloney's greed, the reason he dressed up as the Ghost of Colonel Beauregard.[1]

Standardization of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Techniques Used to Evaluate Performance and Blood Damage Safety in Medical Devices: An FDA Critical Path Initiative
Table of Contents
The purpose of this project is to determine how computational fluid dynamics can be effectively used to characterize fluid flow and to predict blood damage in medical devices. To address this complex issue, FDA has partnered with academia and industry under the Critical Path Initiative program to advance the application of CFD technology in the development and evaluation of medical devices.
In order to better understand the state-of-the-art of how CFD is currently applied to medical devices, a practical evaluation will be conducted of two different flow models, developed by the project's Technical Steering Committee. Participants in the project will perform computational simulations of the two models using a set of parameters described in the detailed project plan; this is essentially a Round-robin investigation of virtual models. For comparison and validation of the computational simulations, three select laboratories will perform quantitative flow visualization measurements on physical models. The simulation results will be analyzed in a blinded fashion, and then compared and presented collectively in the literature and on this website. Hence, the two models will also serve as benchmarks for future CFD evaluations.
Participants will also be asked to predict the amount of blood damage which might occur for flow through the models under different conditions. For comparison to the computational predictions, in vitro blood damage experiments will be performed at three different laboratories. The comparison will help in extrapolating the engineering results provided by CFD to the actual expected biological response.
The goal of the project is to develop an FDA Guidance Document (and provide information for standards organizations) on the valid use of CFD in the evaluation of medical devices. This will be based on the techniques utilized, the results obtained, and the suggestions made by researchers in the performance of the CFD, flow visualization, and blood damage experiments for this project.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are increasingly being used to determine flow patterns and fluid forces in the development and evaluation of blood-contacting medical devices, such as prosthetic heart valves, blood pumps, and oxygenators. CFD also has the potential for calculating the values of physical parameters (such as shear stress and dwell time) that may affect the level of blood damage the device may cause, including red blood cell damage (hemolysis), platelet activation, and thrombosis. While computer simulations are efficient in creating device designs that can decrease the need for expensive prototyping and laboratory testing, there are no standardized methods available for using CFD techniques to assess safety of the final medical device designs. Validation with experimental data from bench testing is necessary to show that the applied CFD methods are appropriate and accurate. The lack of reliable and standardized test methods in this complex area creates a burden on product developers and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in assessing the safety of new devices. This project will determine the limits of the applicability of CFD techniques by comparing computational simulations against suitable experimental models in a round-robin study. The primary goal is to create a Guidance Document for industry-wide use on proper validation and use of CFD models in the assessment of medical device safety.
The primary goal of this project is to accelerate the safety assessment of medical devices in the preclinical stage, with particular attention paid to blood damage, and to standardize CFD techniques for such use. The project will focus on (1) establishing a collaboration among academia, industry, and the FDA to address this goal, (2) developing well-defined computational and physical models to be evaluated in round-robin testing, (3) creating a Guidance Document on using validated computational fluid dynamics in device applications to the FDA, (4) evaluating predictive computational techniques used to estimate blood damage, and (5) disseminating the results of the project through an FDA website, internal and external reports, training, publications, and presentations.
This project fulfills the main goals of the Critical Path Initiative, and FDA's mission, in the following ways: 1) it establishes a vital collaboration between academia, product developers, and the FDA to address a burden which delays efficient design, implementation, and regulatory review of medical devices, 2) through predictive computational modeling, it targets scientific advances to modernize techniques used to evaluate device safety, 3) it provides needed training for academic programs to help cultivate product development professionals, 4) it is applicable to an at-risk under-served population, as ventricular assist device (VAD) blood pumps are being designed for pediatric use through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Pediatric Circulatory Support initiative,† 5) it will develop a Guidance Document with techniques for evaluating devices based on computational fluid dynamics which can be used industry-wide, 6) it will accelerate further developments in both computational modeling and in new medical products, 7) it has the potential to reduce the risk and cost of performing animal and human testing, and 8) it will provide technical data for a new standard to be developed by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, on Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices Evaluation, which will include recommendations for CFD and flow visualization. Lastly, the enthusiastic support which this project has received from academia and the medical device industry reinforces its importance to the FDA.
The Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) will sponsor a computational "round-robin," whereby specially designed computer aided design (CAD) models representing blood contacting medical devices will be supplied to participants in industry and academia. Two archetypes will be developed which cover the critical flow regimes seen in medical devices: a simple nozzle model and a more complex ventricular assist device (VAD) blood pump model. The simple nozzle model is representative of flows occurring in many medical devices due to sudden changes in the geometry of the flow path that includes both laminar and turbulent shear stresses. The VAD model is relevant to the thirty or more blood pump designs currently being developed for adults, and pediatric VAD pumps being developed as part of the NIH Pediatric Circulatory Support initiative.† The exact geometries, flow conditions, and fluid characteristics of the computational models will be supplied to all of the participants. The results will be collated, analyzed, and compared by the FDA in a blinded approach. To validate the computational flow simulations, the results will be compared to detailed laboratory flow measurements made by FDA and the primary collaborators in transparent geometric replicas (using quantitative velocimetry) using the same range of flow parameters. In essence, results from actual laboratory flow models will provide benchmark data for the computational models. To compare how blood safety is assessed, participants will also be invited to use their computational flow results to predict a level of red blood cell damage (hemolysis). This will provide an understanding of the state-of-the-art use of CFD models for predicting blood damage.
Year 1 (Aug. 2007 – Aug. 2008) – Establish a Technical Working Group to design and implement the round robin CFD investigations. Recruit collaborators for the project.
Year 2 (Aug. 2008 – Aug. 2009)
Conduct the first round robin test on the nozzle design (Sep. 2008 – Nov. 2008).
Conduct the second round robin test on the VAD design (start summer 2009)
Year 3 (Aug. 2009 – August 2010)
Complete analysis of round robin test results.
Conduct in vitro blood damage experiments (at select labs) for comparison to CFD predictions.
Specific Project Goals
1. Guidance Document for Computational Studies in Device Review: This will be a guidance for industry and FDA staff in the use of computational fluid dynamics for providing supporting data in device applications, whether as new devices or for changes to existing designs. This will be prepared in collaboration with CDRH's Office of Device Evaluation. Timeline: A draft document will be prepared by the end of the first year of the project (Aug. 2008), and refinements will be made in FY08 and FY09 as the experimental results are analyzed.
2. National/International Standards: The results of this study will provide needed input into standards development for the use of computational fluid dynamic methods in medical device design and validation. For example, the current version of the ISO standard on heart valve prostheses (ISO 5840, Cardiovascular Implants – Cardiac Valve Prostheses) suggests using computational studies but does not provide any details on how this is to be performed or validated. Also, the laboratory experiments using the transparent flow models will provide publicly available benchmark data which could be used to assess improvements in CFD simulations in the future. Timeline: A draft document will be prepared by the end of the third year of the project (FY09). This study will also provide input into a new standard to be developed by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, on Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices Evaluation, which will include recommendations for CFD and flow visualization.
3. Website/Papers/ Presentations/ Training: The progress and results of this study will be disseminated through an FDA website, presentations at national meetings, training at the FDA, and publications in peer reviewed journals. Timeline: These goals will be reached in years two (FY08) and three (FY09) of the project.
4. Benchmark Flow and Hemolysis Models: The results from this study will be publicly available and will serve as benchmarks for future research and development in this area.
