Ok so here goes here is my birth story of Theo born at home on 10th of April.
Theo was due on 29th March however I kind of always expected him to be late as my little boy Louis was 17 days over.
First time round with Louis, who is now 2, I made the mistake of engaging with my labour as soon as it started. To cut a long story short I wanted a drug free water birth but ended up with a 36 hour labour, gas & air, epidural, spinal & c section! When I found out I was pregnant again I was determined this wouldn't happen again, so we started planning a home birth.
Both times we had a fantastic doula, Lisa, who helped us through every step of the way and really helped me believe in myself, which I think was a major factor in achieving my dream birth this time around.
Sooooo I was determined to ignore my labour for as long as possible and keep calm – something I really struggled with last time. On the Monday I was starting to feel a bit different, not really describable but I said to my husband, Solo, that something is going to happen soon. I woke up Tuesday morning and nothing had changed so just went about my day. During the day I started to feel mild, irregular twinges and text Solo to say make sure you are home for tea time as something is starting to happen. Around lunch time I went to the loo and had a show, text Lisa and then went to bed to try and get some sleep. During the afternoon I had a friend around and I was bouncing on the ball & having to take a few deep breaths with each twinge.
I knew things were going to get going soon so when hubby arrived home I went to have a bath and relax whilst he sorted Louis out. Contractions were coming a bit more regularly now, but still really manageable. Once Louis was upstairs I came down and had a glass of wine and a couple of paracetamol and watched some TV whilst bouncing on the ball. I was conscious I need to conserve my energy as I was expecting to be in labour for a long time based on my first experience, however they started to ramp up a bit and I couldn't sit still so needed to stand up and walk around through each one. I knew they were becoming more regular so checked my watch and I was getting one every 3 or 4 minutes lasting about 30 or 40 seconds. I decided to try and get some sleep so went upstairs and got in bed with my relaxation CD on. I was just dropping off and felt a pop and thought my waters had gone – I went to loo but there was nothing apart from more show, this time quite bloody.
I decided to go downstairs and spent my time walking up and down the porch and being on the loo having lots more bloody show. Solo called Lisa to give her an update & I tried to talk to her but couldn't. She decided to set off and arrived about 9 ish. I remember saying I couldn't do this and she totally calmed me down got me some clary sage oil which was great and got me to lean over the ball. Between each contraction I felt quite calm and focused. Throughout every contraction my body felt the need to push, I remember saying to Lisa that I couldn't stop myself pushing and was I doing it wrong, but she reassured me just to let my body do what it needed to. It really was like I had no control over it and I just let my body take over.
I was aware of Lisa telling Solo to fill to pool in the lounge whilst I just carried on doing what I was doing. Once the pool was filled I got in and laid on my back for a bit as it was hurting which was about 10.30 pm, but Lisa encouraged me to stay on all fours. I remember it taking a while to get comfy but did so by leaning over the edge of the pool with Lisa & Solo pouring water over my back.
I felt I was coping quite well but also thinking why am I making my life hard when I could have some gas and air, but equally I didn't want the midwives there, as my dream was for them to arrive at the last minute to avoid any discussions about vaginal examinations etc.
The first time I asked for the midwives to be called was around 11.30 pm and Solo & Lisa were both encouraging and Solo asked if I could wait another 30 minutes, to which I said yes and just carried on.
Around 30 minutes later I decided I wanted the midwives to come, still totally paranoid we were calling them too early. Lisa called them and then they called back asking if they could bring a student, which I declined.
Around 12 ish I felt things change and felt my baby turn and really felt pressure in my bum, and asked for reassurance that that's where I should be pushing to. This is what I did – once I felt the change I knew our baby wouldn't be long, which really encouraged me. I was really calm between each contraction and the clary sage by this point was making me feel sick so I was just focused on my breathing with Solo helping me. I started to feel burning and Lisa said she could see our baby's head start to appear, and by about 12.25 baby's head was almost out.
A few moments later I was aware of the midwives arrival & Lisa let them in, they came in but didn't disturb me and once in they told me our babies head was out. It then felt like an eternity until the next contraction and I joked I never thought I would be wanting one so much! Two more came and our baby was born in the pool at 12.40. I lifted my leg and picked up our son. I was in total shock that I had done it, it had been so quick and I had enjoyed it!!
There was no rush to weigh him etc so I stayed in the pool enjoying him waiting for the placenta to come. It didn't so I had the injection but it still took forever but eventually came around 2 hours after Theo's birth.
The midwives sorted me out and I needed to have some stitches and Theo was weighed and he was 9 pounds 6! I am still in shock about this as Louis was just under 8 pounds! Our new family went to bed but I was too excited to sleep so just lay in a daze waiting for Louis to wake up to meet his brother – he eventually did at 6 am having slept through the whole thing! The entire experience was perfect and when I had a shower before going to bed I was already telling Lisa I wanted to do it again!
I now know what birth should be like and I can't wait to do it again! It was the most empowering and amazing experience and I truly believe if you believe in yourself and your body and trust yourself anyone can have the birth they want.

The Alabama Bass Trail will consist of 11 lakes that offer outstanding bass fishing in a variety of watersheds and fishing conditions. The lakes are Guntersville, Wheeler, Pickwick, Lewis Smith, Neely Henry, Logan Martin, Lay, Jordan, Eufaula, the Alabama River and the Mobile-Tensaw Delta.
Gov. Robert Bentley helped unveil the Alabama Bass Trail last week at Lake Guntersville State Park. The trail is a joint effort among the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Alabama Tourism Department, Bass Anglers Sportsmen's Society (BASS), the Governor's Office, Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association and the tourism offices in the various communities located near the trail lakes.
"This is a very apropos place to make this announcement," Bentley said from the lakeside park pavilion before heading to areas in north Alabama hit by recent tornadoes. "I just wish I had time to go fishing. I don't get to go fishing as much as I used to. Fishing is one of my favorite sports.
"When Don Logan [Birmingham native and one of the BASS owners] came to my office, we discussed the concept of promoting the great fishing places in the state of Alabama. Today is a realization of that goal. Anglers across the nation will be encouraged to come and fish where the pros fish. That's what we were talking about – defining lakes where professional fishermen fish. Just like we have golf trails across the state, we wanted to have this. The creation of the Alabama Bass Trail will bring more visitors into this state. When our tourism benefits, it benefits all of our communities. I believe when people realize what we have to offer they will come and visit. Not only do we have the most wonderful people, we have the most beautiful state. They can come and fish and enjoy the natural resources we have, and I think this promotes it. I am so proud to be a part of this."
Logan, former CEO of Time, Inc., said he firmly believes the Alabama Bass Trail will be a very successful program.
"This has been a project, a labor of love, that we've been working on for a long time," said Logan, who brought BASS back to Alabama last fall after several years in Florida. "Gov. Bentley was accurate in his statement about the first time we sat down and talked about this. He said, 'Count me in. Let's make it happen.'
"The thing is, if you can take your children out fishing and spend a few days with them on the water, you're going to create memories that will last a lifetime. We think that is terribly important."
DCNR Commissioner N. Gunter Guy Jr. said the benefits of the recreation for individuals and families are obvious, but some may not know how much fishing means to the state of Alabama in terms of the economy.
"No one is more pleased than I am for the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to be working with Don and the Alabama Bass Trail," Guy said. "We're going to be promoting angling and conservation all across Alabama on our beautiful waterways. I've got some numbers I'd like to share. Expenditures by anglers in Alabama for goods and services exceed $878 million annually with an economic impact of more than $1 billion. Freshwater fishing recreation supports more than 15,000 jobs in this state. We look to forward to increasing those numbers. The Alabama Bass Trail will help do that."
Kay Donaldson of the Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association, the Alabama Bass Trail program director, said each of the 11 lakes will present different opportunities for the anglers.
"The opportunity that people have to fish when they come to Alabama is not found anywhere else," Donaldson said. "The opportunity to challenge yourself on these different waters is unbelievable.
"This has been a dream of mine. We go to eight to 10 trade shows a year to promote the great fishing in Alabama. We think overall, we have more quality and challenging fishing than anywhere. The Alabama Bass Trail is geared toward recreational anglers and those touring anglers who go on trips to fish several lakes during one trip."
The Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association will also be working with the Alabama Student Angler Bass Fishing Association to hold conservation projects at each lake.
"I just got back from Lake Eufaula and watched 252 high school kids weigh in fish," Donaldson said. "That's exciting to see our sport get down to this grass roots effort. When we first started, we thought it would be a Web site and brochure. It's grown so much since then."
The Alabama Bass Trail Web site (alabamabasstrail.org) is going to make it easy for anglers to plan their fishing trips by providing information on the lakes, local fishing guides, camping and hotel facilities, as well as weather, lake conditions, fishing reports and tips from the pros.
"We really believe this will be one-stop shopping for the anglers," Donaldson said. "We hope by April 1 to have the hotel booking engine up and running that will allow people to book their trips totally online."
Donaldson did say there is a misconception that the Alabama Bass Trail is a tournament trail.
"This is where we grow a lot of pros," she said. "A lot of them are born here, live here, but we have a lot of people who just love to fish for bass. This is not a tournament trail. We just want to promote our great bass fishing in the state."
Of course, Donaldson said it would be easy to get the wrong impression, considering the number of top professional anglers who hail from Alabama.
"For each of the past two years, Alabama has sent 10 anglers to the Bassmaster Classic," she said. "This year, Alabama placed first [Chris Lane of Guntersville], second [Greg Vinson of Wetumpka] and third [Keith Poche of Pike Road] in the Classic. This state has the reputation of being a great bass fishing state, and we plan to promote that even further."

Robert Bentley a 12-pound largemouth bass that Carter caught the morning of the launch of the Alabama Bass Trail. Gov. Bentley and Don Logan,one of the ownersof the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society, discuss the benefits before the unveiling of the trail at the lakeside pavilion at Lake Guntersville State Park last week.

Many farmers and outdoor-related businesses suffered. Still the vast majority of people had an available supply of clean water to drink, or wash clothes, or even use for business.
Can you imagine what it would be like to have no clean source of water? What if you had to walk for miles, only to be able to get a jug of water that isn't sanitary for humans to drink?
You are invited to attend "Thirsty Thursdays" in support of a ministry that has a mission: Water for Life. Maple Hill Sports Center is sponsoring a non-denominational fund raising effort to support the Life Outreach International Water for Life ministry. The ministry's goal is to complete 200 new water wells across the continent of Africa and other nations this year.
Life Outreach officials report they have completed more than 1,000 new water wells in 25 different nations. These wells not only provide clean drinking water, they can change an entire village. With clean, disease-free water, they can also plant and irrigate crops, provide water for cattle, and use the water to make bricks and mortar for building homes.
Bring your family or group to play miniature golf on Thursday nights from now until Labor Day Weekend, and you will receive a free bottle of water and a Buy-one, Get-one Free Miniature Golf Coupon for your next visit. The goal is to raise $4,800 or more to fund construction of a well. One-half of all mini golf proceeds on Thirsty Thursdays will go to the Water for Life project. Donations may be made to: Life Outreach International. (Group discounts do not apply on Thursday nights so that proceeds will benefit Life Outreach. If available, church groups may use the party room for free. Call ahead to schedule.)
Maple Hill Sports Center is located at 105 Carver Lane, Lebanon. Turn off West Main St. (Highway 70) across from Rockie Williams Premier Auto Dealership onto Carver Lane, look for the building with the red roof. Activities include batting cages, miniature golf, aeroball, arcade games and a party room. Visit the website at www.mhsportscenter.com or call 444-3474. The facility is open seven days per week through the spring and summer (weather permitting.)

The largest eagle we have in Great Britain is the erne or white-tailed eagle—the sea-eagle.
But the erne cried out: "Bring in now the sitter, who shall fill the empty throne!"
Ballyshannon and Bundoran, in the extreme south, are centres for the erne and other waters outside the county.
And how could I tell that the erne would give thee up unstolen?
No doubt a corruption of erne, a name which is still given to the sea eagle (Aquila albicilla).
The river erne, after a long and rapid course falls into the Tay below Perth.
Mr. erne leaned forward in the chair, with hands clasped upon his knees, and eyes upbent.
The famous "salmon-leap" at Ballyshannon, on the erne, was formerly very productive.
Three English fishers on the erne shared the universal bad luck, for in three days they had only captured one five-pounder.
erne (ėrn), the name often given to all the eagles of the genus Haliatus, but more specifically to the white-tailed sea-eagle.
"sea eagle," from Old English earn "eagle," a common Germanic word (cf. Old High German arn, German Aar, Middle Dutch arent, Old Norse örn, Gothic ara "eagle"), from PIE root *or- "great bird, eagle" (cf. Greek ornis "bird," Old Church Slavonic orilu, Lithuanian erelis, Welsh eryr "eagle"). The Germanic word also survives in the first element of old Germanic names such as Arnold and Arthur.

Provo • Utah business leaders, with assists from transportation agencies, are planning a big lobbying effort to persuade lawmakers and the public to fund an expected $27 billion shortfall over the next 30 years for mass transit and highway needs.
They envision the effort as similar to pushes a few years ago that led to sales tax hikes and borrowing that allowed finishing by 2013 projects that once were not expected until 2030 such as expanded TRAX and FrontRunner lines, and rebuilding Interstate 15 in Utah County.
Robin Riggs, former executive vice president of the Salt Lake Chamber, heads the new business-funded Utah Mobility Coalition, which is planning the lobbying effort. He outlined its goals Friday to the Utah Transit Authority board during a planning retreat in Provo.
Riggs noted that UTA, the Utah Department of Transportation and planning agencies statewide recently completed a unified transportation plan for projects through 2040 outlining the future freeways, highways, TRAX expansions and bus rapid transit needed to handle an expected 1.4 million more Wasatch Front residents by that year.
"There is a $27 billion shortfall between what they think will come in additional revenue and what the needs are," he told the UTA board. "I'm not here to tell you we are going to get $27 billion out of the Legislature. But we've got to make a start on it."
He said his coalition is led by businesses and chambers of commerce that see investment in transportation as critical to growth and prosperity. He said it is funding studies to help it make its case by looking at the economic impact of investing in transportation and how it may be funded.
A handout that Riggs gave to the UTA board said the coalition plans to make "the case that economic prosperity comes from robust, stable and long-term investment in mobility infrastructure," and then to "lobby the hell out of it!"
To demonstrate economic growth from such investments, the UTA board heard Jonathan Francom, an executive with Adobe Systems, tell how his company chose Lehi as the site for a new office campus because it is close to a new FrontRunner station and adjacent to an improved I-15.
"Adobe wants to be a flagship of mass transit utilization," he told the board. He added that long-range plans call for TRAX to come to the site, "and we would like to do anything we could to accelerate that."
UTA General Manager Michael Allegra said officials could argue that sales taxes supporting mass transit are lower along the Wasatch Front than in similar cities nationwide.
It is currently 0.6875 cent per $1 in sales in Salt Lake County; 0.55 cent in Davis, Weber and Box Elder counties; and 0.526 cent in Utah County. In comparison, Allegra said it is 2 cents per $1 in Los Angeles; 1.25 cents in Boston; and 1 cent in such cities as Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Houston and New Orleans.
Natalie Gochnour, executive vice president and chief economist for the Salt Lake Chamber, told the board the economy gives mixed signals about how well it can handle increases in fares or taxes for transit.
On the down side, she said, 81,300 Utahns are unemployed and that does not count people so discouraged that they no longer are actively looking for jobs. "So you have a lot of people hurting," she said. On the other hand, Utah has the fourth-fastest-growing economy among the states and is in better shape economically than most.
Greg Hughes, a legislator who is also chairman of the UTA board, said the state cannot afford to allow gridlock in transportation. He said it could lead new industries to go elsewhere and hurt quality of life.

This is more of a "am I doing alright type post"
I got evil eye and a ring in flex tonight (replaced 535 timeless trinket and another 502 ring)
The only thing I think I could definitely improve on is actually switching talents for fights, but at the moment I'm just too lazy to do it. I'm just curious if I'm doing decent damage for (what I was when I was logging) 540 ilvl.
What trinkets should I use for H Galakras?
574 Eye of Galakras
561 Thoks Tail Tip
580 Fusion Fire Core
I ask because I heard fusion fire core is great for galakras, just not sure whether or not to swap out eye or TTT
I would personally use Eye+Thoks, just because Fusion Fire Core relies massively on rng (It can be 2% of your damage on one pull and 8% of your damage another pull).
It's farm for you, so it doesn't matter much though. I'd still go with thoks+eye.

Hit me, any advice is appriciated, was away from game since 5.1 just used some common sense on gearing now, armory in sig
2. Your Bloodclaw Band is not enchanted.
3. Your Gauntlets of Winged Triumph does not have Synapse Springs.*
4. Your Turtleshell Greatcloak does not have a tinker.
* Macro your Synapse Springs in with your ES/LH to make sure you use it frequently.
Armory must be bugging since i have springs on gloves, nitro on belt and glider on back, only legs are not enchanted, im not going to waste 2k gold on piece thats temporary for me, waiting for garosh lfr/flex legs
But thanks for input!
Leg enchants go for like 400g on my realm, what gypsy ruins the AH on your realm?
9thorder.com | Recruiting exceptional players!
Ikr, they were 400-500 before i went on break (march) and now they are freaking 2k on Kazzak....time to level lw lol
I recently put tanking away, in favor of re-learning Retribution and Holy specs. I haven't been either since ICC was released.
I don't have any logs or parses unfortunately; but my rotation comes from Icy Veins and keeping clcret around in case I get flustered. I spent a great deal of time tuning in with Mr. Robot, but I'm slowly realizing it's better as a guide.
I'm currently only pushing 60-70k in raids. I'm almost 100% sure it's not rotational or spec. Perhaps I have a bottleneck I'm not seeing?
A few things I realize:
I'm a Jeweler, not an Engineer. I won't be changing professions for dps gain... yet.
I've got some secondary enchants (i.e. windsong over dancing steel). The second-hand stuff will hopefully be replaced soon and I'm not keen on dropping almost 2k on an enchant for a weapon I may lose tonight, in favor of something better.
I don't want to go back to tanking this expansion and after seeing some pretty foul commentary in the Holy thread, I'm here hoping to find something to help me stay ret.
Thanks in advance guys.
*Your gemming strategy is off. For example, I see you using a bold red gem instead of a exp/haste orange especially when you can still benefit from expertise in gem slots (gemming expertise so you can reforge out of expertise is a stat gain). I'd recommend just using AskMrRobot.
*Divine Purpose is worse than Sanctified Wrath
With all of these errors, I don't think you can confidently say that you are making no errors in your game play. I have been playing ret for a long time at competitive levels and am never certain that I couldn't do something better. Get logs from flex/lfr and post them.
I'm a jewelcrafter, there are no Green gems. The post states I'm not picking up Dancing Steel for a 516 weapon I'm replacing with my next run, but what other enchants have I mischanted here?*Green gems, inferior enchants, etc.
Why? I'm a bit confused about that. Is it a proc thing? Sanctified Wrath was my standby, but I noticed an increase on SoO fights by switching to DP.*Divine Purpose is worse than Sanctified Wrath
*Robot also tells you what your inferior enchants are. Legs and bracers.
*Sanctified wrath is a dps increase over divine protection except on aoe fights.
When I checked your armory last night, you had different gemming.
i'm interested in your statement of using the Icy Veins priority system but with CLC when you panic. If you are not using CLC Ret (and there are a couple of options for those that don't) in the normal course of events, what are you using? The reason I ask is because if you are using something that does the same task, then you'd never need CLC Ret. If you're not using anything at all, then you are losing massive amounts of damage because you must be spending far too long thinking about which abilities to use. I've like to see a screenshot at least in full flow on a raid boss fight.

About 10 days ago I received an email from Lady Brooks who apparently lives in the UK but with today's fluidity may be anywhere including my next door neighbor. She told me she was going to bequeath me quite a huge sum of money and that I should contact her solicitors or lawyers or whatever they call them over there. I was so grateful that she mentioned the amount in US dollars rather than confusing the issue by mentioning Pounds. The address she gave me for her attorneys was: firstname.lastname@example.com.
I immediately emailed consultant brothers advising them: Lady Brooks has sent me a message advising that I contact you. So here I am. Her email states she has willed $2,500,000 to me. As you are probably aware of the many scams that have been attempted via the Internet I am not going to hold my breath but if you should feel it necessary to send me a cheque for that amount I would appreciate it. Knowing of the Lady's beneficial views I am sure she has more than adequately reimbursed you for all costs. However, once I receive the money and realize your firm has been honest and upright I might be in the market for a solicitor in the UK.
Thanks, Jerry Firman
Needless to say I am thrilled to death. In order to help calm my jitters while awaiting dispersal of funds I have purchased a small but fuel efficient Rolls Royce and had it specially fitted with all the computer gear and communications equipment that I like to travel with. I have also purchased tickets and made reservations for the Caribbean this Winter instead of my usual stay in Texas.
I haven't been able to contact Consultant Brothers but I realize they are probably very busy. No telling how many other people Lady Brooks may have given money to and I am sure they got all her business. Oh, Oh, a UPS truck is coming in my lane now. I'll bet it is the money, after all, 2.5 million would make a pretty good size package. Just a minute.
Well, it wasn't the money but something almost as good. I ordered a shipment of gold bullion for which I will pay with the coming funds. I don't like to trust anyone, including the government, when it comes to my money. I want it in gold so it doesn't disappear in some inflative way.
In my younger days I would have been impatient with Consultant Brothers but I have grown more mature in such matters. I have almost eternal patience for such things. I will give them another week or two to send my money. No sense looking a gift horse in the mouth. If Lady Brooks was kind enough to bequeath me a fortune, at least I can treat her minions with respect. They have to be good guys if Lady Brook hired them. Nobody is better than her in my mind except maybe the guy who took my check for $25,000 to the bank so I would at least have an account to put my new money in. Will keep you posted. Isn't life wonderful?
Thanks for reading this. I can't wait to share some of my bounty with fellow Newsviners.

Neive is located approximately 290 miles (467 kilometers) from Rome, the country's capital, and about 30 miles (48 kilometers) from Turin.
Neive isn't the only place in Piedmont worth seeing; visitors with plenty of time should also take a day trip or two to experience the magic of the surrounding countryside, cities and cultural attractions. Cathedral Square Alba and Castello di Pollenzo in and around Alba, are worth checking out. Alba, is 4 miles (6 kilometers) away from Neive. A side-trip to Novello is another interesting option. It's around 13 miles (21 kilometers) from Neive and where you'll find the Novello Castle and Parish of St. Michael the Archangel.
Asti, is another good place to visit. It is around 13 miles (21 kilometers) from Neive and offers a wide range of things to see, for example Cantina Contratto, Collegiata di San Secondo and Cathedral of Asti. Castello di Govone and Piazza Alfieri are also good spots for calling into before returning to Neive.
If the sun isn't shining, don't worry, Piedmont is home to a number of popular mansions, craft workshops and art museums, that'll keep culture vultures entertained and dry. History enthusiasts will want to visit Piedmont's fascinating castles, historic mansions and traditional villages.
No break is really complete without a good dose of R&R. Camping is one of the activities they do to relax here and bird watching is another. Should you hear the call to adventure, follow the lead of local thrill seekers and spend the day mountain climbing or caving.
When it is time to depart Neive, put the lens cap back on your camera, spend your last of your euros on last-minute souvenirs, and bid a fond Ciao (farewell) to this unique part of the world.

In the main event of UFC Fight Night New Zealand, James Te Huna, former top ten light heavyweight, took on Nate Marquardt, former Strikeforce Welterweight champion and UFC Middleweight title challenger. The fight took place at the 185 pound limit of middleweight, despite both men's last fight taking place above and below the weight class, respectively. Of the two fighters, Marquardt was the only one to have experience at middleweight, though for a long time before this fight, he fought at welterweight. Te Huna, on the other hand, fought his entire career at light heavyweight where he weighed in at 205 pounds. This was Te Huna's first attempt at dropping 20 pounds and trying his luck at middleweight.
Many believed, despite the experience difference, it was the size difference between the two fighters that was gonna make this fight. Te Huna was never a small light heavyweight and, at middleweight, he looked huge for the weight class. Marquardt, who is obviously capable of making 170 pounds, didn't look out of place at middleweight, though Te Huna was the bigger man.
Te Huna has made a name for himself being an aggressive, hard-hitting fighter who pursues the knockout every chance he can get. The story of this fight, unfortunately for Te Huna, was the ground game and grappling ability of Marquardt. Early in the first round, Te Huna was taken down by Marquardt and, the rest of the fight was, essentially, a grappling clinic for Marquardt, who was able to out position the bigger man at every turn. Eventually the submission came when Marquardt locked on a beautufl arm bar and forced Te Huna to tap out in front of his home crowd at 4:34 of the very first round.
For Te Huna, this isn't the end of his career, though, he'll have to really show something in his next fight which will presumably be at middleweight. For Marquardt, this is a solid win over a capable opponent in his new, re-found home at 185 pounds.

Victorian employers would have to seek approval from a special agency before using technology to spy on staff under a proposal to regulate workplace surveillance. Under an alternative proposal from the Victorian Law Reform Commission, employers would be asked to comply with a code of conduct designed to regulate workplace monitoring.
Is there ever a case for employees to be monitored?
This topic is now closed - this is what you said.
Mad Mouse,
Was in Tanzania at beginning of year - at tail end of Egypt / Ethiopia trip.

Have fun! :D

and also there are companys losing millions to theft but their bosses are not incompetent, such as sony music etc.
the boss
Strange logic gay whale.. the posts so far today seem to prove it is the paranoid small business owners who are most likely to use mroe surveillance than necessary on their staff. A combination of ineptitude at people management and a power hungry attitude (ie. you people 'belong' to me for these 8 hours) seem to be the reasons.
Ben C
I am off home for the week-end...I have switched off all monitoring devices......woohoo lets see whats left of the company on Monday...
silverwolf - if you read my posts you would know that I have already stated that in some circumstances camera surveillance is appropriate. What I am opposed to is unregulated surveillance of employees in circumstances that do not warrant it ie employees who do not have access to cash or substantial assets should not be subject to cameras.
In none of my posts did I suggest 'blind trust'.
NONE of the types of surveillance being talked about in the relevant article would have helped Barings. Having adequate supervision, procedures, review of transactions, ans all the other things people such as auditors look at would have.
Ed and all posters - have a great weekend.

Terry 'used racial abuse'
John Terry used "straightforward racial abuse" against Anton Ferdinand rather than sarcastically repeating a racist slur, a court heard.
Last Updated: 12/07/12 1:57pm
John Terry was using "straightforward racial abuse" against Anton Ferdinand rather than sarcastically repeating a racist slur, a court heard on Thursday.
Terry, 31, is accused of using racist language to QPR centre-half Ferdinand during a Premier League match on October 23 last year. A verdict is expected on Friday afternoon.
Making his closing speech at Westminster Magistrates' Court, prosecutor Duncan Penny said on Terry's account, Ferdinand had used the word "black" as well as highly offensive swearwords.
Terry claims that he simply repeated back the slur that Ferdinand wrongly thought he had used, and denies a racially aggravated public order offence.
This meant that Terry added another swearword, and had also used the word 'and' before the racial obscenity, Mr Penny said.
"If it's rhetorical repetition, why does the word 'and' feature at all? Why are any other words spoken by Mr Terry at all?," Mr Penny asked.
The pair had traded insults in the run-up to the alleged racist insult.
Ferdinand taunted Terry about his alleged affair with a team-mate's ex-girlfriend, while Terry implied the QPR player had bad breath.
Mr Penny said it was unlikely that Ferdinand would have had the "motivation or frankly the sophistication" in the heat of the moment to make up an allegation that Terry had used racial abuse.
"A false allegation of racism would be an accusation which involved more sophisticated thought processes than had hitherto been going on, on that football pitch," Mr Penny said.
He said Ferdinand would not be the first "victim" who was reluctant to give evidence in court.
"What was in this for Anton Ferdinand? This case will follow him for the rest of his career. He made it clear he did not wish to be here (in court), just like Mr (Ashley) Cole," the prosecutor said.
"Was it, in the case of Ferdinand, because he had made a grave and false allegation against the England captain?
"You may wish to ask yourself the question, whether in truth he was brave to give evidence in this trial?"
Making his closing speech, George Carter-Stephenson QC, for Terry, said that the prosecution case was based on "speculation".
He said: "This is not a case about racism. The prosecution in cross-examination conceded that he is not a racist.
"There is an abundance of evidence in this case to prove that fact.
"The way that this case is put is that on this occasion Mr Terry completely lost his cool and made an inappropriate remark making reference to a physical characteristic of Mr Ferdinand, namely his colour, in response to words conceded to have been repeated taunts and insults referring to his alleged affair with Mr (Wayne) Bridge's partner."
He told the court there was no direct evidence about what Terry had said, other than the Chelsea defender's own account.
Mr Carter-Stephenson said Ferdinand was "inconsistent and unreliable both on words and events and could not satisfy the court to the criminal standard".
He went on: "No matter what the words actually were, if they were or may have been Mr Terry repeating back what he believed Mr Ferdinand had accused him of, then that's the end of this particular case."
Mr Carter-Stephenson said Terry would not have lost his temper over goading about the alleged affair, which he had faced "hundreds of times before".
"Can it really be right that Mr Terry totally loses his cool, as suggested by the prosecution, in relation to a further taunt by Mr Ferdinand about shagging his team-mate's missus?" the barrister asked.
"The defence suggests that there is an inherent implausibility in that, given the evidence before this court.
"Mr Terry has 600 games behind him by way of professional top-level football experience, spanning 14 years. He has been sent off on four occasions, never in relation to his language.
"It is inconceivable to suggest that the taunt from Anton Ferdinand, that Mr Terry has heard hundreds of times before, and you may think he's heard far worse in relation to his mother, made him snap in the way suggested."
The verdict will be announced at 1400 BST on Friday.

Ever since Richard King, director of the DOE's Solar Decathlon, announced during the International Builders' Show in January that the biennial competition will be moved from the National Mall in Washington, D.C., participating students, faculty advisers, and even reporters and members of Congress have been waiting for a new location to be released. King has said he expects a decision to be made before the end of February. Alternative sites in cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York have been posited as possibilities, but more recent murmurings have the solar-powered home competition being shifted to National Harborweaetxdyvaydzcwq, a far less prominent and accessible location just outside Washington, D.C.—although it would be preferable to a move that would necessitate redesign of the competition houses.
The National Mall has been the site of the Solar Decathlon since it launched in 2002, and thousands of people visit during the biennial competition. National Park Service plans to recondition the Mall and its turf now preclude the competition from being sited there; however, the National Mall Plan calls for restoration of the turf to begin after the Solar Decathlon would be finished. Any harm to the grounds caused by the competition houses and the crowds would be repaired during the National Mall Plan's implementation, and damage is minimized by the use of permeably paved walkways throughout the site, permeable mats under the houses, and installing the houses without ground penetrations.
With the event just seven months away, the venue change introduces many potential challenges for the participants. The 20 Decathlon teams have been working for nearly two years already and most have finalized the designs of their small solar-powered homes and are ready to begin final construction.
"It's very late in the game, which is what makes it so challenging," says Elisabeth Neigert, a graduate student at SCI-Arc, project manager for the SCI-Arc/Caltech decathlon team, and the spokeswoman for the decathletes' lobbying efforts. "We have sponsorships on the line—and not small sponsorships: $100,000 or more. Sponsorship is related to visibility and all of a sudden we're not going to be visible. So the logistics are very difficult for us. All our engineering and design is based on the site and the lots we've been assigned."
"If they'd let us know a year and a half in advance we could have dealt with it. The fact that this comes now is ridiculous," adds graduate student Dave Lee, communications manager for Appalachian State University's decathlon team. In addition to expressing shock and dismay at the venue change, decathlon team members immediately started a campaign to reinstate the competition on the Mall. Students have written letters, lobbied state representatives, requested meetings with DOI and DOE representatives (which have been denied, according to Neigert), and launched a Facebook page to generate support.
Senators and House members also have gotten involved by sending letters to Secretary of Energy Steven Chu and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, calling the move from the Mall "short-sighted," despite the need to restore the grounds, and urging them to reverse the decision. On Feb. 2, the office of Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) sent the DOI and DOE a letter signed by 11 other senators, and a similar letter was sent Feb. 4 from the office of Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) that was signed by 10 other House members. Both letters urged DOI and DOE officials to reinstate the Solar Decathlon on the National Mall.
So far there has been no official public response to any of these efforts from either the DOI or the DOE, although students report that the DOE has kept them apprised of deliberations over an alternate competition site. But students are hopeful that an acceptable solution will be found, which would be one that restores the Solar Decathlon to a prominent site that is easily accessible by large numbers of people and doesn't require major redesigns of the houses.
The team from the University of Hawaii has a characteristically sunny outlook on the situation: "As the organizers of the event feel the same passion for the competition's public awareness and educational goals, we are confident that they will find a home for the Solar Decathlon that provides the same quality of visitor traffic," says graduate student Elyse Petersen, communications team officer. Doing so would acknowledge the importance of one of the competition's key goals: educating the public and members of government about the benefits of cost-effective, energy-efficient houses that incorporate renewable energy technologies.
"President Obama's State of the Union address discussed competition with China and being leaders in renewable energy and energy efficiency, and that is what this competition is about," Lee says. "There's no better way to showcase what the U.S. and all the leaders of tomorrow are doing in this field than to have the Solar Decathlon on the Mall."

Parents of deaf boy sue Greensburg for not providing sign language interpreter for soccer league
The parents of an 8-year-old boy who is deaf are suing Greensburg for failing to provide an interpreter for the child while he plays in the city soccer program.
The suit was filed Thursday in federal court in Pittsburgh for the child, who is referred to as "S.A." in the complaint. His parents are identified only by initials, "A.A." and "J.A."
They asked the court to rule the city discriminated against the boy by not supplying an American Sign Language interpreter and to order the city to supply one in the future.
But the city contends it is under no obligation to provide an interpreter for a non-resident playing in a voluntary league.
In addition, the parents seek compensatory damages and for the city to pay the costs to file the suit.
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act require that governments do not discriminate against people with disabilities, according to the complaint.
The city has discriminated against the boy "by failing to provide an ASL interpreter at soccer practices and games so that he can participate fully and equally and receive the same benefits as children without disabilities who participate in defendant's soccer programs," it says.
The parents asked city officials to provide an interpreter when the boy started playing soccer in spring 2012, according to the complaint.
The recreation department's soccer program operates with two seasons a year at Lynch Field, one in the fall and one in the spring. The boy did not take part in the fall 2012 season.
The boy's mother, who is a certified interpreter, assumed interpreter responsibilities during the spring 2012 season after the city failed to do so upon request, according to the suit.
She was unable to serve as interpreter during the 2013 seasons or this year, and no interpreter was provided by the city, the suit maintains.
The boys wants to continue playing soccer but needs to be able to communicate with his coach and teammates to "learn skills, ask questions, communicate his ideas and play as a member of the team," the suit says.
Attorneys for the boy contacted the city's solicitor in March and related the law required the city to provide a interpreter, the complaint states.
Solicitor Bernard McArdle responded on Thursday that he knows of no requirement that a municipality supply an interpreter for a recreation program coached by volunteers. City council has an obligation to spend taxpayer money wisely, he said.
"This is a voluntary recreation league," McArdle said. "The city will follow the law, but we don't believe there's a legal requirement to provide a signer in a municipal recreation league to a non-resident," he said.
McArdle estimated an interpreter would cost the city between $6,000 and $10,000 a year for the two-season program.
The matter will be turned over to counsel for the city's insurance carrier, McArdle said.

The Internet is exploding with photos and videos. Amateurs create much of what you see, so if you think you can't cash in on the trend, you're wrong.
There are many opportunities to earn cash from your photos and videos. You won't get rich, but you can supplement your income nicely.
There's one obvious caveat: You must have talent. Your work will be competing with that of many others.
Stock photography
Stock photos appear on the Internet and in print publications. Publishers license the photos for a specific use. They use stock photos instead of hiring a photographer.
Before you start seeing dollar signs, there are some considerations. Your photos must be impeccable. The composition, lighting and technical quality must be outstanding. The photos should be high-resolution and free of noise.
You can photograph any subject, but some subjects are in higher demand. For example, travel photos and photos of people sell well.
You can list your photos on sites like iStockphoto (www.istockphoto.com), Dreamstime (www.dreamstime.com) and BigStockPhoto (www.bigstockphoto.com). They'll take a cut of sales.
Upload as many photos as you can. Post on multiple sites, provided there is no exclusivity clause in the sites' terms. This increases your ability to sell.
Photography contests
Some photo contests award cash or other prizes. Read the rules carefully before you enter.
Some contests have separate categories for amateurs and professionals. Others are limited to amateurs. Selling stock photos may disqualify you as an amateur.
You'll find many different types of contests. National Geographic and other publications of the National Geographic Society (www.nationalgeographic.com) sponsor photo contests. The Everyman contest (www.theeveryman.com) awards cash prizes. So does Smithsonian magazine (www.smithsonianmagazine.com).
You'll find more contests online or in your favorite photography magazines. Make sure they're reputable. Some charge entry fees and are probably legitimate, but I would not pay for the privilege of entering a contest.
News organizations
News organizations are beginning to accept individuals' photos and videos. This is true of local, national and international news outlets.
This trend is still in its infancy and many publishers do not pay. However, Reuters pays for photos it distributes for publication. Reuters has partnered with Yahoo for user-submitted video (http://news.yahoo.com/you-witness-news).
The photos and video can be shot with your camera phone. Quality isn't as important as with stock photos or contest submissions. However, the work must be newsworthy. You must catch an event at the right moment. This could prove difficult.
If you're going to a sporting event or concert, visit SpyMedia (http://www.spymedia.com) first. It is similar to stock photography sites, however, buyers can request photos of particular events. The event you're attending could be included. You can also post photos in your collection.
Video sites
YouTube is one of the hottest Internet sensations. Visitors upload and share their videos for free, but that could soon change.
YouTube plans to start sharing advertising revenue with its members. Revenue would be generated by an advertisement at the beginning or end of a video. It could happen as early as this year.
Other sites have beaten YouTube to the punch. Revver (http://one.revver.com/revver) is a video-sharing site that splits advertising revenue evenly with the video's creator. Brightcove (http://brightcove.com) also shares 50% of ad revenue. In addition, you can sell your videos for syndication on other sites.

Prevent Data Breaches
Lock down data across your entire IT environmentLearn More
Corporate data breaches are not only big news, but they also come with big—and growing—price tags. The average cost of cleaning up and recovering from a data breach is now $3.79 million, up 23% over the last two years alone.
Blame increasingly sophisticated malware. Using more advanced and targeted tactics, today's malware has a higher success rate. Add in the growing use of cloud services and the role that internal actors play in data loss—initiating nearly half of all breaches, many unintentionally—and it's clear that simply trying to stop hackers from getting access to your traditional network isn't enough.
Instead, an effective data protection strategy must combine strong encryption, data loss prevention, centralized management, and common security policies that govern the flow and use of data across all your environments from on-premises applications and endpoints to file servers and cloud applications.
With data protection technologies recognized as a leader by Gartner, we provide a full suite of data loss prevention, enterprise-grade encryption, native encryption, support for mobile encryption, and file and removable media protection.
Widen data protection policies and enforcement to cover your entire IT footprint, including on-premises endpoints, file servers, and cloud services.
Lock down critical data with powerful enterprise-grade drive encryption or native encryption management on Windows and OS X systems. If a breach occurs, encryption technologies help to ensure that any data accessed is unusable to hackers.
Enable consistent policy deployment and enforcement, and robust reporting and incident workflow, all from a central security management platform.
Recognized as a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader, our comprehensive data loss prevention (DLP) suite quickly and effectively finds and monitors your data wherever it lives with an easily deployed solution.
McAfee Total Protection for Data Loss Prevention
Leverage the Security Innovation Alliance to extend your DLP solution. TITUS and Boldon James help IT security departments take the guesswork out of identifying sensitive data with end-user classification solutions. Instead of relying solely on automated content scanning, these solutions make DLP more intelligent and empower users to proactively identify sensitive information.
Block unauthorized access to your sensitive information and prevent exfiltration—anytime, anywhere. Our data protection suites include strong encryption, DLP (Advanced suite only), policy-driven security, management of Apple FileVault and Microsoft BitLocker native encryption, and data protection for cloud storage.
McAfee Complete Data Protection—Advanced
McAfee Complete Data Protection
McAfee Complete Data Protection—Essential
Our seven-part blog series breaks down the anatomy of a data exfiltration, including who is targeting data, what thieves are seeking, and the primary tactics employed.
We interviewed more than 500 IT and security professionals about their experience with data breaches to provide a real-world look at these threats, how data exfiltration unfolds, and tactics used to detect and prevent attacks.
This infographic summarizes key findings from our "Grand Theft Data" report.
Learn about common data exfiltration techniques used by both external and internal threats, and get an overview of data loss prevention processes and tools.
This solution brief breaks down how a data breach unfolds, looks at what motivates attackers, and maps how McAfee DLP solutions can protect against data exfiltration.
See how to move from passive monitoring to proactive protection to enhance your DLP implementation.

Ti Jean – 1971-2006
Jean Gabriel Fils, known widely and affectionately as Ti Jean, died on May 28 in Central Haiti, where he had lived all his life.
Ti Jean had been part of the foundation of Partners In Health/Zanmi Lasante since the organization's early days almost 20 years ago. More recently, as director of the Program on Social and Economic Rights (POSER) he had laid the foundations for literally hundreds of new homes for patients and others living in destitution. In 2003, Ti Jean received the Thomas J. White Prize presented annually at the PIH Symposium in honor of his work.
PIH co-founder Paul Farmer delivered a eulogy at Ti Jean's funeral, attended by more than 1000 friends, family and supporters at L'Eglise Bon Sauveur in Cange, Haiti.
During what proved to be his final visit to Boston in February, Ti Jean spoke enthusiastically about the 110 houses he had built in 2005, the 157 on his docket in early 2006, and his ambition to build a million homes before he died.
PIH Executive Director Ophelia Dahl paid tribute to Ti Jean in a message to staff announcing his death:
"The 'Ti' in front of his name refers to the diminutive," she wrote, "yet Ti Jean was anything but little. He was an enormous presence both physically and morally, a major force in the struggle for social justice. And he worked tirelessly on behalf of those in his community who lived at the bottom of the pile."
"He was a builder of houses but also of a better future and, as a result, he provided hope for countless people living in rural Haiti. He has left a giant hole. But we, as a team, will rely on his inspiration and endeavor to honor the memory of his life by continuing his work."
Ti Jean was 35 years old at the time of his death and left 11 children.
Partners In Health has established a fund to support Ti Jean's children and family, who relied on his financial support as we all relied on his leadership and inspiration.
To contribute to the fund, send a check made out to Partners In Health with 'Ti Jean Memorial Fund' in the memo line to PIH, 641 Huntington Ave., Boston MA, 02115. Contributions can also be made online using a credit card. Just click on the "Donate to PIH" link at the top of this page and select "Donate Online" from the options at the left of the next page.

Fish collections under varying ecological conditions were made by trawling and seining, monthly and quarterly in depths of <1 m to depths of 3 m of the Florida Bay portion of Everglades National Park, Florida. From May 1973 through September 1976, a total of 182,530 fishes representing 128 species and 50 families were taken at 27 stations. An additional 21 species were identified from sportfish-creel surveys and supplemental observations. Most of the species collected were juveniles of species that occur as adults in the Florida Bay creel census survey, or were small species that were seasonal residents. Marked temporal and spatial abundance of the catches was observed. The greatest numbers and biomass of the fishes occurred in the wet season (summer/fall), whereas lowest numbers and biomass appeared during the dry season (winter/spring) The greatest abundance and diversity of fishes was found in western Florida Bay followed by eastern and central Bay regions respectively. Overall, five species comprised 75% of the numerical total while eleven species made up 75% of the total biomass. Collections were dominated numerically by anchovies (Engraulidae), especially Anchoa mitchilli, in western Florida Bay. Mojarras (Gerridae), mostly silver jenny Eucinostomus gula, and porgies (Sparidae), especially pinfish Lagodon rhomboides, dominated numerically in central and eastern portions of the Bay, respectively. Except for salinity, other measured physico-chemical parameters (water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity) showed no variation beyond ranges considered normal for shallow, tropical marine environments. Salinity varied from 0 to 66 ppt near the mainland. Nearshore hypersaline conditions (>45 ppt) persisted for nearly 2 years during the 1974 - 1975 severe drought period. Significant reductions in fish abundance/diversity were observed in relation to hypersaline conditions. Bay-wide macrobenthic communities were mapped (presence/absence) and were primarily comprised of turtle grass (Thalassia), shoalgrass [(Diplanthera = (Halodule)], and/or green algae Penicillus. Seasonal dieoff of seagrasses was observed in north-central Florida Bay. (PDF contains 107 pages)

Although Texas has a lower rate of drug-related deaths than the national average, this means nothing to the parents and family of those who die as a direct consequence of drug abuse and addiction. Dallas, Texas lies in an area of massive drug trafficking and dealers certainly manage to find their buying public in the city. These drug dealers create and contribute to addiction in people of all ages.
Violent Crimes in Dallas Texas
One detective in the Dallas area has stated that as many as 85 percents of the cases he has dealt with in his career were about drugs. Both the victim of the Dallas crime and the suspect in the case were high in the greatest percentage of the incidents. They both were doing things they would not normally do unless under the influence of the drug.
An example of the horror that substance abuse can create is one recent news report from Dallas, Texas. Two brothers were shot and killed in a drug deal gone wrong. Now their parents are left with a void in their lives. In another report, a young man was stabbed in his car and left to die.
He was pronounced dead at the hospital. These were all needless murders, sparked only by the greed of drug dealers and the addiction of those who had to feed that greed out of the necessity of their cravings.
Addiction Destroying Lives
These young people were not naturally bad people. But they certainly were driven to drastic lengths by their desire for that next fix. And it led them to death at an age where death should yet be a long way off. Any dreams these boys had as children evaporated when they began abusing drugs. Addiction came to absorb them and ruined their lives.
Whether fatal shootings, robberies or dangerous driving while under the influence of drugs, the crime rate is positively affected in a city where addiction runs rampant. The emotions and attitudes of an addict are greatly affected, and violence can become second nature.
When kids from moral homes and families with high values, who would never steal or lie, get addicted, things change. The next thing you know, they are only a step away from incarceration. They lie to their families and steal from anyone to get that next fix.
Addicts are so affected by their addiction that they don't realize what is happening to them until it is too late. One girl said that although she used to be euphoric, involved in her school's activities, working for extra money and enjoying her friends, she turned into someone completely different, sitting all day in one room getting high.
Getting Help for Addicts
Cravings for the drug of choice will take over life, and the person so addicted will end up getting involved with others so like-minded. They end up not caring about anything else but getting high. It often takes the efforts of others to get them to agree to go into a drug rehab. Sometimes it is simple, because when confronted with what their life has become, an addict will have the reality come crashing down and consent to receive help.
However, sometimes it is necessary to get professional intervention. The addict just "knows" that he is going to be an addict for the rest of his life. There is nothing further from the truth, although many drug rehab programs state that addiction is a disease that can't be cured. Addiction CAN be solved. It is a matter of finding the right drug rehab program – a successful one that will have the highest chance of providing lasting recovery.

text: Genzyme, a Sanofi company (EURONEXT: SAN and NYSE: SNY), and Isis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ISIS), today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its New Drug Application (NDA) for KYNAMRO TM (mipomersen sodium) injection. KYNAMRO, given as a 200 mg weekly subcutaneous injection, has been approved as an adjunct to lipid-lowering medications and diet to reduce low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (Apo B), total cholesterol (TC), and non-high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (non HDL-C) in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). "Today's FDA approval of KYNAMRO is great news for patients with HoFH who are in need of additional treatment options for this rare, and often under-diagnosed disease," said Genzyme President and CEO, David Meeker, M.D. "As the leader in treatments for rare diseases, we are pleased to bring our expertise to HoFH patients living with this serious condition to better help them manage their disease." HoFH is a rare inherited condition that makes the body unable to remove LDL cholesterol, often called the "bad" cholesterol, from the blood, causing abnormally high levels of circulating LDL cholesterol. In the United States, HoFH, an orphan indication, occurs in approximately one in one million individuals. For those with HoFH, heart attacks and death often occur before age 30. "People living with Homozygous FH may not appear to be sick, but they live with the burden of this rare disease every day," said Katherine Wilemon, President and Founder the FH Foundation "The approval of KYNAMRO gives the HoFH community hope that HoFH can be effectively managed." The FDA approval triggers a $25 million milestone payment to Isis from Genzyme. "KYNAMRO is the first systemic antisense drug to reach the market and is the culmination of two decades of work to create a new, more efficient drug technology platform. As evidenced by our robust pipeline, our antisense drug discovery technology is applicable to many different diseases, including the treatment of a chronic and rare disease, like HoFH," said Stanley T. Crooke, M.D., Ph.D., Chairman of the Board and CEO of Isis. " We look forward to continuing to work with Genzyme toward a successful commercial launch of KYNAMRO and global expansion into other markets." The FDA approval for KYNAMRO is supported by the largest clinical trial conducted to-date in the HoFH patient population. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial enrolled 51 patients age 12 to 53 years, including 7 patients age 12 to 16 years, who were maintaining a regimen of maximally-tolerated lipid lowering medications. Treatment with KYNAMRO further reduced LDL-C levels by an average of 113 mg/dL, or 25%, from a treated baseline of 439 mg/dL, and further reduced all measured endpoints for atherogenic particles. In March 2010, these data were published in The Lancet by Professor Raal, University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. Safety data for KYNAMRO are based on pooled results from four Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials with a total of 390 patients of which 261 patients received weekly subcutaneous injections of 200 mg of KYNAMRO and 129 patients received placebo for a median treatment duration of 25 weeks. Eighteen percent of patients on KYNAMRO and 2% of patients on placebo discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions in patients treated with KYNAMRO that led to treatment discontinuation and occurred at a rate greater than placebo were: injection site reactions (5.0%), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increased (3.4%), flu-like symptoms (2.7%), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increased (2.3%), and liver function test abnormal (1.5%).

Ahhh, the beauty of Web 2.0. Learned the other day through Twitter that my friend Shira Lazar was coming to New York City. As it turns out, I just moved here!
So as she's driving here we decided to boot up Kyte and do a quick interview via New Media style :)
My audio is minimal in the video, but we talk about Revision3 and how I have a Revision 3 Beta Show teaching music lesssons. We also discuss my 5-year goal.. which is to release ANOTHER CD, and go on tour :)
But the real fun is in the video.. not the audio. They make a pit stop, and then before I knew it the interview was over. I remember being on Seesmic and discussing to Shira of her personal branding questions. I'm glad to have learned of her Pop Report and how it is all condensed into her personal site – the total right call :)
Follow @Shira and @BradleyGrill and stay tuned to Shira's Kyte Show – where she promises to have better lighting and audio next time!

A SPURNED woman who sent abusive messages to her former partner - a police officer - and his new love has been told by a court she must pay them compensation.
Joanne Brockley had a long-term relationship and son with Gareth Bishop, but they split up six years ago, Steve Woodman, prosecuting, told Bolton Magistrates Court.
In August, 2011, she was given a formal warning after Mr Bishop reported her for harassing him while he was working in Cornwall.
Mr Woodman said that in 2013 Mr Bishop and his partner, Joanne Hayes, who is also a police officer, moved back to Bolton and since then Brockley has sent them numerous abusive emails.
She even rang 101 and left bogus messages for the couple, but they finally reported the harassment after 28-year-old Brockley sent them an email giving details of their new home, indicating she had been there. Mr Woodman added that the unwanted contact from Brockley had "upset them greatly".
Brockley, of Melbourne Grove, Horwich, pleaded guilty to harassment without violence.
Michael Garstang, defending, said Brockley had given a false name when contacting Mr Bishop at work because she feared he would not speak to her and she wanted to talk about their son.
Mr Garstang said: "She has no desire to contact him, but she wants him to be able to see his son."
District Judge Jonathan Finestein sentenced Brockley to a conditional discharge for two years and ordered that she pay £85 prosecution costs plus £125 compensation to each of her two victims.
Judge Finestein said: "When relationships break down there often can be all sorts of issues, negative issues and all sorts of concerns. Harassment is never acceptable. You have to move on and they have to move on."
The judge also made a restraining order for three years prohibiting Brockley from contacting Mr Bishop or Ms Hayes or going to their home.
Any contact about their son must go through Brockley's parents.

i am having very strange problems with pptp-connections.
depending on the type of connection, uploading a file to the remote server
stalls to the point where xp tells you ".. networkname not found..", or
"lost" or something like this.
files then exist with the right size but only binary null-content
the problem is, that some connection-situations work, others not.
isp1 -> m0n0-1 (1.22 on isp A) problem
isp1 -> m0n0-2 (1.21 on isp B) ok
isp2 -> m0n0-1, -2 ok
seems that some connection-variants are not working and it only breaks when
uploading to the remote end. you can access and fetch files from the remote
connection without any problems.
initially i thought that there is a problem with umts-card-connections but
it works with m0n0-2 which is 1.21.
anyone any idea?
