[Federal Register: February 25, 2004 (Volume 69, Number 37)] [Notices] [Page 8667-8668] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr25fe04-77] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. 2003D-0568] Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff on Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices; Availability AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of the draft guidance for industry and FDA staff entitled ``Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.'' It was developed as a special control to support the reclassification of the vascular embolization device and the neurovascular embolization device from class III (premarket approval) into class II (special controls). The draft guidance is not final nor is it in effect at this time. We are also announcing the withdrawal of the 1994 draft guidance document entitled ``Guidance on Biocompatibility Requirements for Long Term Neurological Implants: Part 3--Implant Model,'' dated September 12, 1994. DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the draft guidance by May 25, 2004. ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of the draft guidance on a 3.5'' diskette to the Division of Small Manufacturers, International, and Consumer Assistance, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (HFZ-220), Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., Rockville, MD 20850. Send two self-addressed adhesive labels to assist that office in processing your request, or fax your request to 301-443-8818. Submit written comments on the draft guidance to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Submit electronic comments to http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.fda.gov/dockets/ecomments. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for information on electronic access to the draft guidance document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peter L. Hudson, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (HFZ-410), Food and Drug Administration, 9200 Corporate Blvd., Rockville, MD 20850, 301-594-3090. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry and FDA staff entitled ``Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.'' On June 12, 1998, the Neurological Devices Panel (the Panel) considered the information in three submissions of safety and effectiveness under section 515(i) for the neurovascular embolization device, and recommended that this device be reclassified from class III into class II. While the Panel's recommendation was specifically for the neurovascular embolization device, because of the similarity of the vascular (arterial) embolization device to the neurovascular (artificial) embolization device, with regard to its intended use, design, risks to health, and measures to mitigate the risks to health, FDA determined that the Panel reclassification recommendation for the neurovascular embolization device is relevant to the vascular embolization device. We are withdrawing the guidance document entitled ``Guidance on Biocompatibility Requirements for Long Term Neurological Implants: Part 3--Implant Model'' because it contains outdated information. Archived copies of Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) guidance documents that have been withdrawn are available from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International, and Consumer Assistance (see ADDRESSES). Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is proposing to reclassify the vascular embolization device and the neurovascular embolization device into class II. The currently available guidance document entitled ``Guidance for Neurological Embolization Devices'' dated November 1, 2000, was revised as a draft class II special controls guidance document to support the reclassification of these device types. If finalized, the ``Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices'' will supersede the November 1, 2000, guidance document and will serve as the special control for these devices. Following the effective date of any final reclassification rule based on this proposal, any firm submitting a premarket notification (510(k)) for a vascular embolization device or a neurovascular embolization device will need to address the issues covered in the special controls guidance document. However, the firm need only show that its device meets the recommendations of the guidance document or in some [[Page 8668]] other way provides equivalent assurances of safety and effectiveness. II. Significance of Guidance This draft guidance document is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the agency's current thinking on vascular and neurovascular embolization devices. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statute and regulations. III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This draft guidance contains information collection provisions that are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520) (the PRA). The collections of information addressed in the draft guidance document have been approved by OMB in accordance with the PRA under the regulations governing 510(k) submissions (21 CFR part 807, subpart E, OMB control number 0910-0120). The labeling provisions addressed in the guidance document have been approved by OMB under the PRA, OMB control number 0910-0485. IV. Comments You may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments on the draft guidance. You may submit a single copy of an electronic comment (see ADDRESSES). Submit two copies of any mailed comments, but individuals may submit one copy. You should identify your comment with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. You may see any comments FDA receives in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. V. Electronic Access To receive a copy of the draft guidance by fax machine, call the CDRH Facts-On-Demand system at 800-899-0381 or 301-827-0111 from a touch-tone telephone. Press 1 to enter the system. At the second voice prompt press 1 to order a document. Enter the document number (1234) followed by the pound sign (

Irish pubs are lively gathering spots, unlike stark Swedish pubs, where every table is occupied by Grim Reapers playing chess. Get a taste of the old country with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $24 for two entrees and two beers or glasses of wine (up to a $49.98 total value)
- $42 for four entrees and four beers or glasses of wine (up to a $99.96 total value)
The menu includes entrees (up to a $15.99 value each) such as thin-sliced corned beef served with cabbage, carrots, and irish potatoes, or family-recipe shepherd's pie. Drinks (up to a $9 value each) include drafts from New Belgium and Smithwicks and vintages from wineries such as Kendall Jackson and La Terre.
Fallon's Bar & Grill
The bottle-lined bar, Irish flags, and rich wooden tables all lend Fallon's Bar & Grill an authentic public house ambiance where a menu of traditional comfort fare from both sides of the Atlantic seem at home. Preparing each entree with fresh ingredients, cooks whip up shepherd's pie and roll handmade gnocchi. Servers bustle around tables amid the din of live musical performances, pub trivia nights, and murder-mystery dinners throughout the week. Behind the hardwood bar, mixologists help to keep spirits high by blending cocktails, pouring a selection of whiskeys, and doling out bottled and draft beers and 16 televisions help guests keep up on their favorite episode of Emergency Broadcast System. During warmer seasons, the revelry spills outside as the restaurant opens its patio seating to diners.

The US government has approved the first loan guarantees for nuclear power plants since the 1970s, a move that should allow Southern Company build two reactors in Georgia.
The $US8.3 billion of guarantees are set to cover about 70 per cent of the construction cost.
The development of the first nuclear power plants in the US since the Three Mile Island incident is likely to be viewed as positive for the uranium market.
There has been talk for years about new reactors being built in the US, but it is practically impossible to do so without government loan guarantees due to the risk involved with such an operation.
The New York Times reported Southern Company had yet to receive a licence from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to operate the plants, but a decision was expected this year.
In Australia, companies with active uranium production include

WASHINGTON, Pa. — Susquehanna University's freshman attack Sean Ledwick (Weston, Conn./Weston) scored a goal with 2 minutes, 5 seconds left in overtime against Washington & Jefferson College to end a non-conference men's lacrosse game, 6-5, at Cameron Stadium on March 8.
Ledwick finished off a pass from sophomore attack Dustin Breakey (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley) for his second goal of the game and seventh in the past two contests. Breakey, who leads Susquehanna (2-1 overall) this season with eight points, notched three assists against Washington & Jefferson (1-2 overall).
W&J opened the scoring with 9:36 left the first quarter, but SU's freshman midfielder Tylere Fritts (Chatham, N.J./Chatham HS) answered back with an unassisted marker with 4:54 to go in the first to tie the game. Teammate and fellow freshman midfielder Jon Horbert (Longwood, Fla./Lake Brantley) then scored less than a minute later on a Breakey assist for a 2-1 lead.
The Presidents scored the only goal of the second quarter to close the half tied at 2.
They scored the first two goals of the third quarter as well to go up, 4-2, but sophomore midfielder Luke Delavan (Madison, N.J./Madison) netted a goal with just three seconds left in the third to bring the gap to 4-3. Freshman midfielder Brian Sowyrda (Grafton, Mass./Grafton) assisted.
The Crusaders scored then scored the first two goals of the fourth quarter to take their second lead of the game, 5-4. Ledwick picked up the first of those with an unassisted marker on a man-up situation with 13:02 left in regulation. Sophomore attack Tim Pastore (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) scored the latter off an assist from Breakey with 5:59 left.
W&J then forced overtime on a goal with 4:55 to go, setting the stage for Ledwick's winner, which sent the Crusaders sidlines onto the field in celebration.
SU held a 33-24 advantage in shots and collected 41 ground balls to the Presidents' 23.
Ledwick and SU's junior defender Jimmy Warburton (Chatham, N.J./Chatham HS) led all players with seven ground balls each. Teammate and freshman midfielder Marcus Cheatham (Reisterstown, Md./Loyola HS) collected six ground balls.
The Crusaders won nine of 13 faceoffs, led by junior midfielder Ryan Oakes (North Yarmouth, Maine/Cheverus), who won nine of 12.
Freshman Will Torrence (Wallingford, Pa./Strath Haven) earned the win in goal by making eight saves in all 62:55.

'Duvet' by BOA
That is the intro song to Serial Experiments Lain, one of the all time greatest animes. I'm not quite sure why the song is so appealing, but it just seems to appeal to me at any given mood.
Since I don't watch much anime anymore, I don't have alot of alternate choices. I like the FMA soundtrack. Umm, I also liked the second Naruto intro song.
I was wondering if people could post WHAT they liked about the song, because I havent heard, or even heard OF most of these. So I'd like to know which soundtracks people would recommend.

My favourite anime song would have to be "Chiisana Inori" the ending song to Fruits Basket. It is just so sweet and original with lovely instrumentals. Although it is done by a less well known singer (Okazaki Ritsuko) she does a lovely job of portraying so many emotions that carry onto the listener. Truly a beautiful song ^_^

Anyone know if OU is open and playable
It's definitely not
If you turn it into a safari object course and don't mind waist-high grass, it's open.

RIVER BENDS: Wednesday afternoon we could use some hands to help move a lot of debris on the new telephone pole hole. We should start cutting around the 5 pm time frame. I plan on getting there earlier because some debris can be moved prior to cutting.

Wow. Old school. We lost a Monster and Viking in 2 weeks, back-to-back. Bummer!
Chelsey Murdock WPD May 13, 2014 at 1:47am
Hey everyone! My fiancé lost a red champ monster with a green stamp tonight at leagues! It's his #1 disc and he needs it back! It was left at hole 16 close to the teepad. We asked the two groups behind us but no one said they found it. So I'm hoping there is a honest leaguer out there who found it tonight and can return it!! He doesn't have his name on it because he just traded to get it a few days ago. If you found it or know who did will you please let me know! Thank you!! Disc on!!

Can you guys send me a pic of this mondays card ? Someones said I counted wrong and I check 3 times and 3 people checked the scores then someone told me I counted wrong after the cards where in I guess so id like to see it
Are you asking for a pic of your groups' card from tonight's league play, Monday, April 28, 2014?
Brandon Redmond April 15, 2014 at 7:54am
So I tossed in the drink on 18 last night at leagues. Didn't wanna hold other cards up since we teed off a lil late, figured I would swing back after and grab it. It was gone so someone scooped it up mid round. They did not turn it in to the tables nor leave it out on anyone's car. It is a yellow Opto Saint Pro, my name and number are on the rim. Please return it if you scooped it up. I won't be playing next week but I could be able to swing by before tee off and get it back
who ever found this disc should charge 5 bucks for you to get it back. Just like you tried to charge me for the Buzzz SS that you scooped out of sunnybrooks pond. Karma's a ****, just sayin
making lots of friends Redmond.....
Aww snap!!
if I recall the Buzzz SS wasn't tagged. but I have no issue tossing a five spot for returned plastic. and in the end I never took anything.
John Minicuci March 31, 2014 at 7:01pm
The 2014 season will begin play on Monday, April 14, 2014. Start time will be announced this week so stay tuned. This will be the 25th anniversary of the club so we have some bigger ideas planned. If you have any suggestions on how to make our 25th birthday better, let us know ...

Tonight is the last night of putting, we need a week of to get ready for Monday night at Firefighters.

what does the league disc look like for 1991 and what disc was used
I have a Shadow and an Eclipse. I am sure they were not produced on an Innova disc and cannot be sure they were not produced on other Discraft molds.
thank you John, I commented on one of your pics, it doesnt have any markings on the back identifying discraft or innova

Thank you for the offer Nick. We appreciate the offer and will contact you if needed.
Right on, John. Thanks!
Erik Wild January 21, 2014 at 7:07pm
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm interested in possibly playing some of these events listed. I just joined this site, been a casual player for 22 years (I was 7 when I started). I'd really like to improve my game, and they say the best way is to play with people better than me. How do I join these events/this club...thing? Register with PDGA? Ask nicely?
lol get a pdga number, show up at a weekley night league(you can find on here) and start makeing friends and everything else will fall in place! #57858
There is an indoor putting league on Monday nights at Sunnybrook. That is a good starting point for the winter.
Most, if not all events/leagues in the area, you can just show up and compete without being a member of a club or the pdga. Add MCCG th your "favorites clubs" too.
Excellent! Monday nights at Sunnybrook... Sterling Heights, right?
Sterling Heights yes... On 17 mile Btwn van dyke and mound. League starts at 6. Get there around 545 for sign up. Cost $5 to register and you'll b playing 4 games at least. Bring two putters with you. Extra cash for food, beer and side games. Hope to see ya there!
I only have 1 putter right now. I should have a second one the next time
Amateur Hour -WPD January 18, 2014 at 12:09pm
Stoney pads both shoveled?
last i heard they were not and it was a mess...bobis is at bends today at 1pm
played wed. they are a mess. everyone played on top of the snow. some are serviceable few are clear most are icy and rough
homedepot 17 bucks for 50 pound bag of calcium cloride sprinkle that **** every where.
so jump on it sam
tthat's the problem if you want to play winter golf on summer time tee pads you may have to do some work instead of playing on the pads with snow i do my fair share if that was where i played they would be done.
quite the childish reply there redmond.
just making it so you can understand saddy. when I last went I had expected some work to have been done. plus there should have been some melting. holes 1 and 19 were pristine. we thought they were all good. but no amount of shoveling was going to get those pads clean. and the amount of salt needed would be much more than just 1 50lbs bag. had it been possible to clear them at all I would have.
and for the record will fretz and I attempted to do some more clearing at Bends but that too is at least 2-3 inches thick. can't get anything up from the concrete. it would be nice if stony went out with a gator and salted and shoveled for us, like Hudson or Addison does
I'm not as close to the course as I use to be. It's hard to set aside a 5 hour clear and play time and add in a 45-60 min round trip drive. there are many many people who are closer and could possible take care of the course some.
you want to talk down to me like im stupid? **** you redmond. dont call me saddy, only my friends can call me that.
holy hell. easy buddy meant nothing but in a joking manner forgot the lil then but I thought you would have known it wasn't meant in anything but jest. my bad I guess.
John Minicuci November 17, 2013 at 5:32pm
I know the weather this afternoon does not look promising but a couple of us will be at River Bends following the Lions game (around 4:30 ish) installing 2 baskets. We could use a few more backs along the way. Holes are already dug. Mixing cement and dropping them in the ground so it should not take all that long...
should of called lol i live a mile from there
If I had a dollar for everyone who has ever said I should have called. I cannot possibly call everyone. A post hits more people all at once...

Hong Kong skyline is the most beautiful in the world.
Any visitor who has been here would agree.
In Hong Kong, you'll see the most beautifully designed skyscrapers by world-famous architects. These state-of-the-art buildings do worth a visit.
There is a laser show called A Symphony of Lights held at 8pm daily with 33 buildings participating. Make sure you won't miss it.
Ideal Place to Admire the Hong Kong Skyline
First, go to Star Ferry on Kowloon side. Turn left while facing the harbour. Take a one-minute walk towards the harbour front. You'll see the Hong Kong skyline as shown above.
As I live here, let me be the host and introduce the four tallest buildings.
The Four Tallest Buildings in Hong Kong
See if you could spot them on the above Hong Kong skyline photo. From left to right:
Central Plaza | Bank of China Tower | IFC II | The Center
Now let's take a closer look at each of these buildings and see how we can explore them.
International Finance Centre II (IFC II) – The Tallest
415 meters | 88 storeys | completed in 2003 | designer: Cesar Pelli
Address: 8 Finance Street, Central, Hong Kong
Direction: MTR Central station, Airport Express Hong Kong station
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority's (HKMA) offices are situated at the top floors. However you have no chance to visit these sky offices.
Fortunately, HKMA has an Information Centre on the 55/F which is open to public on weekdays from 10am to 6pm, and on Saturday from 10am to 1pm.
The Exhibition Area has a currency section which traces the development of money and banking in Hong Kong and shows examples of coins and notes used over the years in and around Hong Kong. Guided tours are held on weekdays at 10.30am and 2.30pm, and on Saturday on 10.30am. Don't miss this opportunity to visit the tallest building on the Hong Kong skyline.
IFC II has a first class shopping mall. You'll find it competitive to any other largest shopping malls in New York, London or Paris. Here, you can find the world's finest anything, though expensive.
Central Plaza – the Second Tallest
374 meters | 78 storeys | completed in 1992
Address: 18 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong
Direction: MTR Wanchai station
There is a sky lobby on the 46/F which is open to public on weekdays from 8am to 8pm and on Saturday from 8am to 2pm.
This is the quickest and easiest way to have a 360-degree view of Hong Kong, through the curtain walls.
Sky lobby is where people change left to upper floors. I work in Central Plaza and it is my daily life to use this 5-star lobby. Even so, I find this 360-degree tour of Hong Kong extremely impressive.
There is a Pacific Coffee at the main lift lobby where you can take a break while enjoying harbour view.
The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Grand Hyatt and Renaissance Harbour View are linked to Central Plaza by covered foot bridge.
Bank of China Tower – the Third Tallest
367 meters | 70 storeys | completed in 1992 | Designer: I. M. Pei
Address: 1 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong
Direction: MTR Central station
There is an observation deck on the 43/F, though not 360-degree and is not as 5-star as Central Plaza. However there is a model of the neighbourhood landscape including the Victoria Harbour. It is fun to check the model and spot the actual buildings.
The observation deck is open on weekdays from 9am to 5pm and on Saturday from 9am to 1pm.
It is an excellent place to take a photo with the IFC II as the backdrop.
The Island Shangrila, Conrad, Marriot, the Hong Kong Park and the Peak Tram station are just nearby.
The Center – the Fourth Tallest
346 meters | 73 storeys | completed in 1998
Address: 99 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong
Direction: MTR Central station, walk along Queen's Road Central
The Center is gorgeous, day and night. Actually, you don't have to visit this building as you only have to admire it from distance. It is one of the most remarkable skyscrapers on the Hong Kong skyline.
The building is lit up by colored neon lighting arrangements at night. It is the pioneer in doing so.
There are several other buildings copying the idea and competing on eye-catching lighting schemes.
This is the most beautiful building that changes colour continuously between 8pm and 11pm daily.
Other Landmarks on the Hong Kong Skyline
Hopewell Centre – the Tallest (1980 – 1989), currently no ranking
216 meters | 64 storeys | completed in 1980
Address: 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong
Direction: MTR Wanchai station
Hopewell Centre has a sight-seeing lift running between 17/F and 56/F. This one-minute journey is extremely spectacular. You can oversee the most beautiful part of the Hong Kong city, Victoria Harbour and Kowloon.
On the 62/F, there is a revolving restaurant with a misleading name 'Revolving 66'. Buffet lunch is around HK$180 and dinner around HK$350. I would say the food doesn't worth it, but the view does.
There are several dim sum restaurants, and many other themed restaurants connected by footbridge. There is also a big supermarket at the basement.
HSBC Headquarters – No Ranking
179 meters | 47 storeys | completed in 1985 | designer: Norman Foster
Address: 1 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong
Direction: MTR Central station
Other than a landmark on the Hong Kong skyline, the HSBC headquarters is also a landmark of Hong Kong.
This solar-lit building is the fourth HSBC building being built on this same site. About 150 years ago, the former Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation built its first headquarters here.
On Sunday, the ground floor lobby is a major meeting point of overseas maids, and is extremely crowded.
Cheung Kong Center – the Sixth Tallest
283 meters | 62 storeys | completed in 1999
Address: 2 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong
Direction: MTR Central station, opposite to the Bank of China Tower and HSBC
Cheung Kong Center is extremely innovative. Its appearance is as normal as any other commercial buildings. However after dark, it is just like a huge crystal shining on the Hong Kong skyline.
There aren't that many buildings in the world with the whole structure lit up like that. It has a similar lighting idea like The Center. However Cheung Kong Center has added elements like displaying patterns and letterings. For example, on New Year eve, it displays 'Happy New Year' and '2006' alternatively and even with sparkling effects.
This building is very stunning especially at night. It is one of the most attractive skyscrapers on the Hong Kong skyline.
Anna's Notes
If there is a competition for the most number of 'best lit skyscapers', Hong Kong must fetch the crown. The names of IFC II, Central Plaza, The Center, Cheung Kong Center, HSBC and so on, keep appearing on people's favourite list in many online forums. All these fantastic buildings contribute to the beauty of the Hong Kong skyline.
Among the world's 10 tallest buildings, Hong Kong has two of them. They are IFC II (6) and Central Plaza (10).
Ranking changes as new buildings are built. The rankings on this page are based on June 2006 numbers. There are subsequent changes. As of 2011, Hong Kong has only one new building on the world's top ten list: The International Commerce Centre (1,588'/108 floors) - ranking 5th.

ISU's veterinary teaching hospitals
After four decades in the academic wilderness, The Gentle Doctor has returned to his hospital.
During his wanderings, Christian Petersen's statue became an icon of veterinary medicine, much like blindfolded Lady Justice is of the law.
Like all prodigal sons, he discovered that much had changed while he was away.
Petersen's famous terra-cotta work was created by the sculptor-in-residence on the Iowa State University campus in the late 1930s — some say in commemoration of Charles H. Stange, then dean of the Veterinary College.
The Gentle Doctor has returned to greet patients at the College of Veterinary Medicine's expanded state-of-the-art facility.
Intensive Care
This is not the first transformation of the college and its hospitals since ISU opened the nation's first, and the world's second, public veterinary school in 1879.
Stange himself revolutionized what would become the Veterinary College (it was merely a division of the College of Agriculture in his time) after becoming its dean in 1909 at the age of 28. He emphasized science and rapidly emerging technologies, such as radiation therapy, that applied to both human and veterinary medicine.
His educational philosophy attracted Petersen, who also affirmed symbiotic relations between humans and animals in his work. It also impressed the Iowa legislature, which began appropriating money for a set of buildings that became the Veterinary Quadrangle in 1912.
By the 1950s, haylofts and barn stalls there were being converted into offices as the college rapidly expanded. A 13-year, $25 million project built an entire new campus for the college and its hospitals, which opened in 1976.
When the final phase is complete this spring, the latest makeover (by Invision Architects of Waterloo-Des Moines) will have added 130,000 square feet that houses a new Food Animal & Camelid Hospital for large animals (including cattle, sheep, goats, swine, and llamas).
It's already added a 17,000-square-foot addition to the small animal hospital, revised existing buildings to accommodate a vastly expanded pharmacy, and made bio-safety upgrades to a state-of-the-art diagnostic laboratory.

Ivy League Student Induces Miscarriages In The Name Of Art!
Check this story out. Aliza Shvarts is a senior at Yale, majoring in Art. For her senior art project she has been documenting "a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself 'as often as possible' while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process." Yeah. Let me just say that while I love art, I don't really get this kind of modern, political, conceptual stuff, but Shvarts says, "I believe strongly that art should be a medium for politics and ideologies, not just a commodity. I think that I'm creating a project that lives up to the standard of what art is supposed to be.†Now, I think it goes without saying that if you're Anti-Choice, you're gonna find her art project pretty darn offensive, but what if you're Pro-Choice? I emailed my mom, because she was an art major in college and is a successful painter, not to mention Pro-Choice. She said, "It makes me feel sick. She is utterly amoral or she is ill." I was kind of surprised that was my mom's response, but it did get me thinking that if you are pro-choice, how far does that belief extend? That it's really okay to do whatever you want to your body? It seems to me that she's really making a mockery of what is a really difficult decision — having an abortion — in order to get a lot of attention. I hope you'll give The Frisky your thoughts in the comments. [Yale Daily News]

The movement of personnel in Australia's legal sector has showed no sign of slowing down nearly three years after a big wave of entrants into the market.
Recently, the trend has escalated, with a number of senior partners, country managing partners and office heads leaving the big global firms to seek other opportunities.
Allen & Overy's Australian founding partner, Grant Fuzi, is the latest one to call it a day. Fuzi, who led a team of 14 partners from Clayton Utz to set up the magic circle firm's Sydney and Perth offices in 2010, has decided to leave the firm at the end of the year and seek new challenges outside of private practice.
King & Wood Malleson's former Australian managing partner Tony O'Malley has also chosen to move on, leaving the Asia-Pacific powerhouse to launch advisory boutique LCR Advisory.
DLA Piper's former Australia chairman and country managing partner Tony Holland, however, chose to join established Australian independent firm Gilbert + Tobin.
The legal market Down Under has been evolving fast and this movement at senior level is just one of the consequences.
Also on TheLawyer.com:
- Herbert Smith Freehills has named litigation partner Julian Copeman as Greater China managing partner, several months after his relocation from London
- China's biggest life insurer China Life is set to buy Clifford Chance's Canary Wharf headquarters in a £780m deal
- Clifford Chance and Linklaters have secured roles on China Mobile's $880m acquisition of a stake in Thai telecommunications company True Corporation
- Two of King & Wood Mallesons' heavyweight Hong Kong partners, Larry Kwok and Conrad Chan, are leaving the firm with a clutch of associates to launch new boutique

Here is a picture of the tools you will need. Not included: Spooooooky accessories, Styrofoam and glue.
1. Paint the wooden dowel a color of your choice. Stick it in the styrofoam to dry.
2. Paint the B O O letters. Set aside to dry.
3. Plan out how your color scheme is going to end up on the pots. I lucked out and didn't have any two colors end up with eachother, but it is something I realized I should have been more aware of from the beginning.
4. Paint, paint, paint the pots until you've done 2-3 coats. Let dry.
5. Glue the B O O letters onto the wooden dowels. I used Guerilla glue because I feel like no other glue can live up to it.
6. Once the pots are dry, glue the sparkly ribbon onto the pot.
7. Stick the letter-ed dowels into some Styrofoam at the bottom of the pot.
8. Accessorize!

Online Health Chat with Gustavo Heresi-Davila, MD and Nicholas Smedira, MD
September 26, 2012
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Pulmonary hypertension is a rare and serious lung disorder. It occurs in people of all ages, races and ethnic backgrounds. This condition is much more common in young adults, and is approximately twice as common in women as in men. One of the more severe causes of pulmonary hypertension is due to unresolved blood clots in the lungs, which is called chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease (CTEPH). Although CTEPH can cause serious illness and can even be fatal in certain cases, it can be cured in some patients through a surgical procedure that removes the obstruction in the lung. Other causes of pulmonary hypertension may require a lung transplant to treat the patient.

Let's Chat About Pulmonary Hypertension
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Welcome to our Online Health Chat with Cleveland Clinic specialists Dr. Paul Saluan and expert Adam Lake. We are thrilled to have them here today for Concussions and Sports Injuries in School-aged Athletes.
Diastolic Dysfunction and Pulmonary Hypertension
SunnyFL: How does diastolic dysfunction cause pulmonary hypertension? How do you test for diastolic dysfunction?
Dr__Smedira: The most common way to diagnose diastolic dysfunction is with an echocardiogram. We often think of diastolic dysfunction as the heart being unable to relax or that it is stiff. By being stiff, when the heart fills with blood, the pressure inside the heart rises and this is what causes pulmonary hypertension.
SunnyFL: My pulmonologist thinks I have diastolic dysfunction that is causing my pulmonary hypertension, but my cardiologist doesn't agree. He thinks it is my autoimmune disease. I have another echocardiogram scheduled in November. Should that give me the answer then?
Dr__Heresi: An echocardiogram can give some clues, but you really need a heart catheterization to distinguish different types of pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary Hypertension Diagnosis
mlg944: I am 53-year-old male with hypertension and on medications for that. Lately I've had the following symptoms while doing light yard work. I get winded and dizzy, so I have to stop and take a break. When I measure my blood pressure when I immediately come in the house, it is 108/63 with a pulse of 120. I experience heavy breathing and coughing for 24 hours. I measured my blood pressure five minutes after working outside and had a blood pressure of 100/58 with a pulse of 136. Ten minutes after working, I measured my blood pressure at 100/64 with a pulse of 118. Twenty five minutes after working outside, I had a blood pressure of 100/65 with a pulse of 112. Forty minutes after working outside, I had a blood pressure of 110/69 with a pulse of 102 - are these symptoms of pulmonary hypertension
Dr__Heresi: Not necessarily. Shortness of breath, dizziness and fast pulse rate can be seen with many other medical conditions. Pulmonary hypertension is one of them, but it would not be the most common. Checking for common things first like asthma and heart failure is best, but then move on to an echogram quickly if nothing is evident after the first evaluation.
mlg944: Is the echocardiogram considered a stress test?
Dr__Heresi: It can be. A stress echocardiogram would be a good idea to rule out coronary blockages that may need a coronary angiogram to confirm. That echo also would be a good screen for PH, which would need a right heart catheterization to be confirmed.
boocifur: Can anyone with lung disease ever be classified as Type 1 PH?
Dr__Heresi: If the lung disease is severe, no. But if the lung disease is mild and the pulmonary hypertension is very severe, you can view that as Type 1 PH.
browna20: What is the difference between primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension?
Dr__Heresi: Secondary means that we are able to identify a reason for the pulmonary hypertension, e.g., pulmonary fibrosis, blood clots, etc. Primary means we are not able to find a reason for the pulmonary hypertension. This is referred to as idiopathic nowadays.
Type 1 Pulmonary Hypertension (PAH)
maynard: Can you explain the difference between Type 1 pulmonary hypertension (PAH) and Type 5 PH?
Dr__Heresi: Type 1 PH is pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which includes idiopathic disease. PAH is associated with connective tissue disease, HIV, congenital heart disease, etc. This type is the one where current PAH therapies are approved for. Type 5 PH is just a miscellaneous category that includes several medical conditions known to be associated with PH, but without a clear mechanism. These conditions include sarcoidosis, fibrosing mediastinitis, etc.
Blood Clots and Pulmonary Hypertension
james4: How often do blood clots cause pulmonary hypertension? What can be done about them?
Dr__Heresi: Blood clots are probably one of the most under-recognized causes of pulmonary hypertension, although precise estimates are not available. With a fresh acute clot, blood thinners are indicated and usually suffice. However, in about four percent of people after an acute fresh pulmonary clot, the clot can get stuck in the lungs and become scarred. This causes permanent pulmonary hypertension (type 4), which can be potentially cured by an operation called pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE), which essentially removes the old clots.
james4: How can I know if my pulmonary hypertension is linked to blood clots?
Dr__Heresi: Based on symptoms and your history alone, it is not possible. At Cleveland Clinic we always screen for PH due to blood clots (chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease, or CTEPH) with a VQ (ventilation/perfusion pulmonary) scan. We evaluate patients with CT scans, MRI and pulmonary angiography. These tests are needed to make a diagnosis of CTEPH and to assess patients prior to the operation.
Orthostatic Hypotension and Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation
Wynn: If my husband has autonomic dysfunction (possibly from pituitary adenoma pressure) as well as severe tricuspid regurgitation, which would you expect to be treated first?
Dr__Smedira: These are exceedingly complex issues that would require a great deal more information and direct consultation with the specialist(s). We would be happy to review the information through an e-consult or second opinion.
Wynn: My husband has a healthy lifestyle and a good weight. He is a non-smoker. However, friends are recommending we switch to a vegan (preferably raw food), low oil diet. Is there any medical verification that this change could be beneficial?
Dr__Heresi: Not to my knowledge.
Desquamative Interstitial Pneumonia Diagnosis
dthoresen: Is there a relationship between desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) and pulmonary hypertension?
Dr__Heresi: Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP), as any other interstitial lung disease, can lead to pulmonary hypertension, especially when associated with low oxygen levels. That being said, we do not see pulmonary hypertension commonly in DIP. Smoking cessation is key in the treatment of DIP.
dthoresen: I never smoked.
Dr__Heresi: In that case, the diagnosis of DIP is suspect. Did they tell you desquamative interstitial pneumonia, or did you mean something else?
dthoresen: Cleveland Clinic told me based on video-assisted thoracoscopy.
Dr__Heresi: That is unusual, but certainly possible. Same comments about pulmonary hypertension though.
Pulmonary Hypertension Treatment
howjimbo: Are there any new medications available and what is the life expectancy of a patient with pulmonary hypertension with medications available today?
Dr__Heresi: With current pulmonary hypertension drugs, the three-year survival is about 65 percent to 67 percent. There are currently no new drugs available. However, a clinical trial on a drug called riociguat has been recently concluded, and the results will be released next month. At least three other compounds are under investigation, but the clinical trials have not been competed yet.
LucyJ: If a patient is on intravenous medications for pulmonary hypertension, will he always have side effects and to what extent?
Dr__Heresi: Not always. Side effects are highly variable, and some patients have a lot, while some don't. Now most people on intravenous medications will have some side effects, but doses are usually adjusted to find the right balance between benefit and side effects.
phylisk: What can a person do the make pulmonary hypertension better?
Dr__Heresi: The best thing to do is to follow with a pulmonary hypertension specialist. Otherwise, eating a healthy diet, not smoking, losing weight and light exercise (if allowed by your pulmonary hypertension expert) are always a good idea.
phylisk: How can you prolong your life with pulmonary hypertension?
Dr__Heresi: Current pulmonary hypertension medications can prolong life. Following up with a pulmonary hypertension expert is the best thing you can do.
Valve Leakage and Pulmonary Hypertension
tbradley: I had open heart surgery last December (aortic valve replacement with mechanical valve and triple bypass). Now it appears that I have leakage around my valve and regurgitation, which they say has caused pulmonary hypertension (PH). I can find nothing in the literature linking these two conditions (valve leakage and pulmonary hypertension) together, but my current symptoms do fit PH (shortness of breath and some pain—mostly when walking). How rapidly should I have a new operation if indeed the leakage is causing the pulmonary hypertension? I am in the process of scheduling a catheterization for as early as possible, but do need to be weaned off Coumadin® first.
Dr__Smedira: A leaky aortic valve can be a cause of pulmonary hypertension. A new operation would be indicated if the leak is severe and the risk of doing a re-operation is relatively low. The catheterization should measure pressures inside the heart, and this should help guide therapies.
PH is commonly seen as a consequence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In that context, PH drugs are really not indicated. I would agree with an evaluation for lung transplantation. Cleveland Clinic also has two ongoing clinical trials for IPF. Enrollment into one of them may be another option as well.
tbradley: Two cardiologists have told me that if the valve leakage is fixed, it is possible that the pulmonary hypertension will go away or at least subside. I thought pulmonary hypertension was permanent, that's why I'm most concerned about rapid surgical intervention. Could fixing the leakage stop or even reverse the pulmonary hypertension?
Dr__Heresi: The vast majority of patients with pulmonary hypertension from leaky valves will see dramatic reversals in the pulmonary hypertension when the leak is stopped. If the valves have been leaking for many years, there is the possibility that pulmonary hypertension will not completely normalize.
Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Treatment
Readyforchange: I have a 12-year-old son that was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary hemosiderosis. He was just recently referred to an adult-pulmonologist who put him on Letairis® and Adcirca®. He was given a cardio-catheter, in which the pediatric cardiologist told us the numbers changed slightly for the better. Although he made a little progress the pulmonologist feels it's not enough. He wants to try Remodulin®. I did a little research and didn't like the outcome. So I guess my question is there any other medication out there for this illness before this drastic step?
Dr__Heresi: If your son is already on both Letairis® and Adcirca®, then the only option left for medical therapy for PH is a parenteral prostacyclin like Remodulin®. However, if he also has pulmonary hemosiderosis, which can cause significant pulmonary fibrosis, he may need to be evaluated for lung transplantation.
There is an upcoming Health Chat on Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) on Wednesday, November 7 at noon with Drs. Daniel Culver and Joseph Parambil that might be of interest to you.
Pulmonary Fibrosis Treatment
Nivlag1: I have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) since May 2007. My pulmonary doctor recently said he is sure have pulmonary hypertension (PH), but does not want to send me to a PH doctor as "they are very aggressive in their treatment." He wants me to concentrate on continuing with weight loss, so I can be evaluated for transplant. What do you think of that? It worries me, but I don't know what to do and have heard the PH medications are very expensive.
Dr__Heresi: PH is commonly seen as a consequence of IPF. In that context, PH drugs are really not indicated. I would agree with an evaluation for lung transplantation. Cleveland Clinic also has two clinical trials ongoing for IPF. Enrollment into one of them may be another option as well.
Exercise and Pulmonary Hypertension
howjimbo: What is the best and safest exercise for people with pulmonary hypertension (PH)?
Dr__Heresi: First of all, you need to be stabilized on PH medications. Then, if your PH physician agrees, a stint with pulmonary rehabilitation is usually helpful. Then, aerobic exercise is the best (e.g., treadmill or light jogging). Also, be mindful if you need oxygen and make sure to use it. Finally, no weightlifting exercise.
Pulmonary Thromboembolectomy
james4: Do all heart centers perform pulmonary thromboembolectomies (PTE)?
Dr__Heresi: Only a few heart centers in the United States have the experience and capability to perform PTE. At Cleveland Clinic, specialists in pulmonary hypertension, clotting disorders, cardiac surgery and perfusionists (who manage the heart-lung machine) work together to perform this complex operation. Our 30-day mortality over the past two years is zero.
Prognosis Pulmonary Hypertension and COPD
phylisk: What should you do to make people understand that you can not wait on them hand and foot with COPD and pulmonary hypertension?
Dr__Heresi: This is difficult, but the more the patient moves—the better it is. Good luck!
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: I'm sorry to say that our time with Cleveland Clinic specialists Gustavo Heresi-Davila, MD and Nicholas G. Smedira, MD is now over. Thank you, Dr. Heresi-Davila and Dr. Smedira for taking the time to answer our questions today about pulmonary hypertension.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KellyCS from Beautiful! Great Quality! Grows with child. This pouf is so beautiful and multifunctional. The faux leather feels wonderful. I got this for my daughter's nursery when I was still expecting. She is now 16 months old and I still love it! It went beautifully in her nursery and served its purpose with my glider during all those groggy late night feedings. Now that she's older, we keep it in her play space and she loves leaning on and using it as a surface for her toys during play time. As she ages, I know it will serve as a gorgeous and comfy seat for her. Love this piece! Would get it again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by BeccaG117 from Great little addition to the nursery! I bought this white ottoman for my nursery. It is perfect! I really like how lightweight it is so I can move it over easily with my feet when my hands are full. The height is great with my recliner. And I really appreciate the option to lock up the zipper for curious hands once my little one gets older.

Rated 5 out of 5 by babybokchoy from Great alternative to a traditional ottoman! I bought the silver one for my daughter's nursery instead of the ottoman that came with my glider. I liked how it took up less room and is a bit more fun. The material and price are great for a kids room, and I love the fact that you can lock the zipper from curious little hands. :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by panda21 from Beautiful I loved this gold pouf online but am always skeptical as to how it will look in person. It's just gorgeous! Just as pictured but perhaps with a bit more filling. I'm sure that will change as it get used. Great purchase especially for the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sarahbeth13 from Absolutely Perfect! Purchased this pouf as an ottoman to use with our glider in the nursery. I was worried it would be too small but it is actually a great size! Perfect height and width, firm enough to support my feet but cushiony at the same time. I'm just really in love with it. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a stylish accent that's functional as well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by lovedanayons from Beautiful Gold Pouf - Excellent Quality I purchased this item from the store in Orange County to serve as both an ottoman for the rocking chair and as seating in my 1- and 2-year-olds shared bedroom. The pouf is made with the utmost of detail and is very high quality. It is quite firm and has retained it's original shape but it is also very lightweight and portable, which I like. It is easily wiped down with a paper towel and looks brand new. The gold is luminous and really pops in the coral-colored room. I highly recommend this product!
Date published: 2016-05-17
Rated 5 out of 5 by JackieTX from Adorable Pouf I bought this about 2 months ago for my daughter to have as some seating in her room and to make it easier for her to get onto her big girl bed. She loves it. It's very lightweight and the color is really spot on to the picture. It's a great addition to her room and can easily be moved around wherever she wants.

Study Description
A friend of yours is absolutely convinced that he has a positive influence on the friendliness of conversations in which his is a participant. He has reached this conclusion on the basis of his everyday observations. You convince him that a systematic study is needed to confirm his hypothesis. Your friend [still smiling] carefully develops an operational definition of the friendliness of a conversation and records a rating for each of the next 50 conversations in which he is a participant. His results show that 75% of these conversations are rated 'very friendly,' 20% are rated 'friendly,' and 5% are rated 'neutral.' Your friend returns to you now convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has a positive effect on the friendliness of a conversation.
• Begin with a brief description of the different methods of observational research that are described
• Identify the type of observational method used in the study described above
• Do you accept your friend's conclusion about his having a positive effect on the friendliness of a conversation? Be sure to consider the issues of sampling and observer bias as you respond to your friend.
• How does the application of the scientific method influence your conclusions?
• Would you recommend a different method of observational research to get a more accurate description of what is going on? Which method? Why?
