Ivy League Round-Robins Championship Central
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - The No. 10 Penn women's fencing team fell in three bouts on Sunday, including a pair by 14-13 margins. The Quakers wrapped up the Ivy League Round-Robins at 1-5, finishing sixth overall.
The day began with a 14-13 loss to Cornell in the 10 a.m. bout. Each weapon was decided by a 5-4 score, but only the Penn foil team was victorious. Sarah Parmacek was 3-0 for foil, while Luona Wang added two wins. Tiffany Chan (3-0 in sabre) and Amrit Bhinder (3-0 in epee) joined Parmacek in going undefeated against the Big Red, but neither received enough help from the other squad members.
The frustration continued as Brown was able to claim a 14-13 triumph before the lunch break. Though epee and foil each won their individual matchups, a 7-2 deficit in sabre proved too much to overcome. Bhinder was once again 3-0 in helping epee to a 6-3 decision over the Bears.
In the team's final bout of the Round-Robins, Harvard was able to down Penn by a score of 16-11. Foil posted a 6-3 win against the Crimson, receiving two victories apiece from Parmacek, Wang and Rachel Chin.
Wang ended the weekend with Penn's best overall record, going 11-7. Bhinder was right behind her at 10-8, while Chan and Parmacek - who made a big recovery after starting 2-7 - each ended at 9-9.
The Quakers return to action next weekend at the NCAA Regionals, hosted by Lafayette College on March 9 from the Kirby Sports Center. Penn will have the opportunity to qualify as many as six women for the NCAA Championships later this month in San Antonio.

Controlled Partial Correction at IMLStrategic and selective procedure that retains naturalness
Specialists at the Instituto Medico Laser are now opting for correction without loss of expressiveness or naturalness in the face. For this reason, and as the result of their training in facial Cosmetic Medicine techniques, our physicians have developed Controlled Partial Correction: a series of highly strategic and selective procedures, which eliminate the signs of fatigue from the face without forgoing naturalness.
Controlled Partial Correction achieves:
- Correction of wrinkles on the forehead and brow without losing expressiveness. When we contract the forehead muscles, dynamic wrinkles or expression lines appear, which disappear when the face relaxes. IML applies the Botulinum Toxin with a very refined technique, consisting of infiltrating alternate wrinkles, which achieves homogeneous and partial mobility in the forehead.
Controlled Partial Correction retains the expressiveness in the forehead
- Elimination of facial blemishes, while leaving the freckles that enhance the complexion. Freckles or ephelides are clusters of concentrated melanin without an increase in melanocytes, which are associated with youth. However, with the passing of time, they can be confused with lentigines, which arise with greater density and early. The technique consists of treating the skin evenly, without removing the more flattering freckles on the nose and surrounding skin, through the careful and precise application of laser Q-Switched Alexandrite and Neodymium:Yag laser.
- Correction of the nasogenian fold, maintaining the line of the smile . Controlled Partial Correction in the nasogenian fold consists of the infiltration of hyaluronic acid, calcium triphosphate and calcium hydroxyapatite in the depression closest to the nostril wings, so that the area is visually raised, erasing the marks of fatigue associated with age, while at the same time respecting the fold of the smile, which can also be present in young patients.
- Controlled growth of the eyebrows. Fine eyebrows are associated with advanced age. Thick eyebrows, however, are characteristic of young faces. To allow the eyebrows to grow in a controlled manner, IML uses laser ultrashort pulsed Alexandrite laser hair removal, which removes the hair that exceeds the nasal width between the brows, and the ones that exceed the ideal length of five or six millimetres.
Laser allows for controlled growth of the eyebrows
Treatments at IML are personalised according to each patient's characteristics. You can request an informative consultation with one of our medical experts.

Last week we reported on three bills that passed the Colorado State legislature. Now those bills are a done deal, as Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper signed them into law today. Colorado's landmark gun laws establish universal background checks on all gun purchases and a ban on the sale of gun magazines that hold more than 15 bullets (or 8 shotgun shells). The federal government has a shot at passing universal background checks, but almost no chance of any limits on gun sales. The states are meant to be laboratories of democracy, and now Colorado can experiment with what congressional Republicans won't touch.
On the magazine limit: this seems like the most logical place to start in regulating what sort of guns can be sold. It's true that there are well meaning people out there who would like to be able to fire twenty shots without reloading, but the action movie scenarios one has to dream up where making those guns harder to get for everyone is a bad idea are unlikely. Most people who can credibly claim they have to worry about a prolonged gun fight are involved in crime.
A random note related to this: the peerless radio program This American Life aired a two-part program on consecutive weeks about gang violence in and around Harper High School in Chicago. This is a public high school in a poor neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, where most kids are in gangs, and not being in a gang is arguably more dangerous than being in one. Shootings are shockingly common, and kids in or connected to the school die every year. One This American Life producer was talking to some of the Harper kids about guns, and she asked them what the best kind of gun is.
"You want a 30," said one. She asked for clarification. A 30 is a clip that holds 30 bullets. The most important aspect of a gun to these kids is its capacity. If we see these kids as stuck in a prisoner's dilemma, in which they need to be ready to shoot, even to kill, to protect themselves, but they are generally good kids, then reducing their firepower across the board is a good thing. If we see them as violent outcasts, then reducing their firepower is an even better thing. Lots of teenagers get into fights, but most don't see death as regularly (if at all) as the Harper kids.
That's not to say that all those kids need is a few good laws, but a few good laws would be a good start.

The time, however, is not 1968 but 2007.
The eerily accurate reconstruction of the day when anger at the Vietnam conflict spilled over on the streets of Britain was part of filming for Sienna Miller's latest movie.

In Hippie Hippie Shake, she plays Louise Ferrier, the girlfriend of Richard Neville, the editor of notorious counterculture magazine Oz.
The film is about the Australian author's time in London in the late Sixties.
The scenes capture the moment Ferrier takes part in mass peace demonstrations. Grosvenor Square was closed to allow hundreds of extras to take part in filming of the riots.

Led by Tariq Ali and addressed by Vanessa Redgrave, they were inspired by American protests against President Lyndon Johnson's continuation of the war in Vietnam.
Ali and his fellow activists, he recalls in his memoirs, "dreamed of using the embassy telex to cable the US embassy in Saigon and inform them that pro- Vietcong forces had seized the premises in Grosvenor Square".

Miller, 25, is understood to have been asked to cut down on her exercise regime in keeping with the rounded physique of Sixties "chicks".
She is joined by a largely British cast playing some of the key characters who surrounded Neville in an adaptation of his memoirs, called Hippie, Hippie, Shake: The Dreams, the Trips, the Trials, the Love-ins, the Screw ups - the Sixties.

Cillian Murphy plays Neville and Chris O'Dowd plays Felix Dennis, a fellow publisher of Oz magazine.
Both were prosecuted in 1971 for obscenity.
Margo Stilley, who starred in Michael Winterbottom's explicit Nine Songs, plays a groupie called "the Banger Sister".
Max Minghella, son of director Anthony Minghella, also appears, while Emma Booth plays Germaine Greer, who was a friend and associate of Neville.

|Leaf grids used for analyses and simulations. These grids are discretized images of red oak leaves that were used in an experiment in which individual gypsy moth larvae were allowed to feed on single leaves for 24h. Each leaf was infected with at least one infectious cadaver of a first-instar larva killed by a baculovirus. Healthy fourth-instar larvae were then allowed to feed on the leaves (one leaf per larva) for 24 hours. The grids show the leaf area, as well as the location of the cadaver(s) and each larva's feeding history. The infection outcome for each larva is also recorded. Also included is an index file labeled 'Eakin_et_al_2014_leaf_grids.dat', which contains the file name for each leaf grid, the dimension of the grid (in pixels), the infection outcome for the larva (0=uninfected, 1 = infected), and the predicted probability of infection calculated using the infection model in the associated article. Lastly, there is also some R code titled 'visualize_leaf_grids.R' that will create a visual representation of the numerical leaf grids. See the README file for more details.

Letter: Destruction of Israel is Palestinians' goal
Destruction of Israel is Palestinians' goal
A recent letter writer blamed the present impasse in peace talks on Israel, distorting the history of the conflict. To begin with, the West Bank and Gaza Strip were not Palestinian land prior to 1967, but were instead occupied by Jordan and Egypt. The PLO Charter of that time specifically rejected those areas as a part of Palestine, because then, as now, the real agenda of the Palestinians was and remains Israel's destruction.
The Israeli towns in the West Bank take up 2 percent of the land, and Israel has offered land swaps in exchange. The response from Mahmoud Abbas has been the usual – no end of the conflict, no recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and no renunciation of the demand for an unlimited Palestinian population transfer into Israel, which would destroy Israel as a Jewish state. As ever, there will be no peace until Palestinians want their own peaceful state more than they want to destroy Israel.

2014 Lexus IS Prototype Test Drive
Lexus has come a long way since the days of the buffed-up Toyota luxo-barge, and the 2014 Lexus IS is arguably the best illustration of that. True, the new 3-Series rival may not have the same wealth of outlandish madness as the LFA sportscar (though it does borrow some of the $375k limited-edition's cabin features) or the brutish luxury of the LS, but the striking design and eager pricing make for a freshly competitive car. Lexus brought us out to the Rockingham Speedway to see how the 2014 IS ticks.

Last Month at the Federal Circuit - March 2009
Judges: Bryson, Dyk (dissenting), Prost (author)
[Appealed from: W.D. Tex., Judge Furgeson]
In Kinetic Concepts, Inc. v. Blue Sky Medical Group, Inc., Nos. 07-1340, -1341, -1342 (Fed. Cir. Feb. 2, 2009), the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of (1) Defendants Medela, Inc. and Blue Sky Medical Group, Inc.'s ("Blue Sky") motion for JMOL on obviousness; (2) Defendants' alternative motion for a new trial on obviousness; and (3) Plaintiff Kinetic Concepts, Inc.'s motion for JMOL on infringement and its alternative motion for a new trial on infringement. Additionally, the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's claim construction rulings. Kinetic Concepts, Inc., KCI Licensing, Inc., KCI USA, Inc., and Wake Forest University Health Sciences (collectively "KCI") brought suit against Medela AG, Medela, Inc., Richard Weston, and Blue Sky(collectively "Defendants"), alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,636,643 ("the '643 patent") and 5,645,081 ("the '081 patent"), as well as claims of false advertising, unfair competition, and conspiracy. Defendants responded with counterclaims alleging that the asserted patents were invalid and unenforceable. After a six-week trial, the jury found the asserted patents not invalid, unenforceable, or infringed. The jury also found against KCI on its false advertising, unfair competition, and conspiracy claims. After trial, Defendants filed a motion for JMOL asserting that the claims were invalid as obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103. In the alternative, Defendants requested a new trial on obviousness. KCI filed its own motion for JMOL on infringement, or in the alternative, requested a new trial on infringement. The district court denied each of these motions. Defendants appealed the district court's denial of their JMOL motion on obviousness, arguing that, under a proper claim construction, no reasonable juror could have found that the prior art did not render the asserted patents invalid. In the alternative, Defendants sought a new trial on obviousness, asserting that the Supreme Court's decision in KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 550 U.S. 398 (2007), effected a supervening change in the law that retroactively rendered the jury instructions on obviousness erroneous. Defendants also appealed the district court's determination that several claim terms, including "selected stage of healing," "reduction in bacterial density in the wound by at least 50%," and "screen for prevention of overgrowth," were not indefinite. KCI cross-appealed the district court's denial of its motion for JMOL of infringement, and alternatively requested a new trial on infringement because (1) Defendants presented a legally insufficient "practicing the prior art" defense, (2) compared the accused product to KCI's product, and (3) engaged in "class warfare" before the jury. The patents-at-issue relate to treating difficult-to-heal wounds by applying suction, which is referred to in the patents as "reduced pressure" or "negative pressure," and encompass both apparatus and method claims. The Federal Circuit primarily focused on four limitations, at least one of which is present in each of the asserted claims: (1) using "reduced" or "negative" pressure to "treat a wound" or "facilitate the healing of a wound"; (2) a "screen" or "screen means" limitations; (3) a limitation requiring treating toward a "selected stage of healing"; and (4) "a reduction in bacterial density in the wound by at least 50%." With respect to claim construction, the district court first construed the phrase "treating a wound" to mean "giving medical care to an injury," and the phrase "facilitating the healing of a wound" to mean "facilitating the healing of injuries," but, in the middle of the trial, the district court vacated its construction of "wound." As a result, "treating a wound" was construed to mean "giving medical care to a wound." At trial, the jury was given this construction of "treating a wound" but was not instructed on the meaning of "facilitating the healing of wounds." Additionally, the district court construed the "screen" limitation to mean "a porous material that applies a counteracting force to granulation tissue to stop growth of granulation tissue above the level of skin surrounding the wound, the porous material being positioned at the wound within the sealing means."
Defendants alleged several errors in the district court's treatment of its obviousness contentions (1) that the court's failure to construe "wound" prevented the jury from properly assessing whether the prior art was within the scope of the asserted claims; (2) that the district court erred by finding that substantial evidence supported the jury's finding that the patents were not obvious; and (3) that the district court was required to conduct its own independent obviousness analysis and erred by simply reviewing the jury's verdict for substantial evidence. First, the Federal Circuit rejected the Defendants' argument that "wound" should be construed broadly, finding instead that "wound" did not encompass either the "fistulae," described in one series of prior art references, or the "pus pockets," described in another series of prior art references. Relying on Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1393, 1315 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (en banc), the Federal Circuit held that because all of the examples in the specification described skin wounds, a broader interpretation "would thus expand the scope of the claims far beyond anything described in the specification." Slip op. at 11. The Court further found that the district court's failure to instruct the jury on the construction of "wound" in this case was harmless. Id. at 12. Thus, "[b]ecause the jury's verdict is supported under the proper construction, and because we perceive no danger under the circumstances of this case that the jury may have used an incorrect construction of 'wound' that might have prejudiced Defendants, there is no need to remand for a new trial." Id. Second, the Federal Circuit found that the jury's verdict of nonobviousness was supported by substantial evidence. Given the competing expert testimony on the subject, the jury was entitled to judge the credibility of the experts. Additionally, because KCI addressed each of Defendants' prior art references and provided the jury with a basis for determining that they did not teach or suggest "treating a wound with negative pressure," a limitation found in every asserted claim, the Court found the evidence sufficient to support the jury's verdict of nonobviousness. Third, the Federal Circuit rejected the Defendants' assertion that the district court erred by not conducting its own obviousness analysis while entertaining their JMOL motion. Given the substantial evidence presented by KCI, the Federal Circuit concluded that the Defendants failed to establish that the asserted claims were obvious as a matter of law. Additionally, the Federal Circuit rejected the Defendants' request for a new trial on obviousness because the Court was not persuaded that the instruction on the teaching, suggestion, or motivation requirement for obviousness was "probably responsible for an incorrect verdict," given the substantial evidence that none of the prior art references "treat wounds with negative pressure." Id. at 16 (citation omitted). Further, the Federal Circuit rejected the Defendants' indefiniteness arguments. First, the term "selected stage of healing" was not indefinite because the '643 patent specification provided several examples of selected stages of healing that, as explained in a declaration from one of the inventors, a doctor of ordinary skill in the art would understand how the selected stage of healing may vary from wound to wound. Second, "reduction in bacterial density in the wound by at least 50%" was not indefinite in light of a specific method described in Example 2 of the '643 patent to measure bacterial density. Finally, the term "screen" was not indefinite in light of KCI's explanation that the Defendants mischaracterized the inventors' deposition testimony as definitions of "overgrowth." Accordingly, the Court found that in light of KCI's explanation of the record, it was not persuaded that the term "screen" is "insolubly ambiguous." Id. at 19. Turning to KCI's cross-appeal and motion for JMOL of infringement, the Court first stated that "while Defendants' evidence may not have been overwhelming, it was nonetheless sufficient to support the jury's conclusion." Id. at 21. Second, the Federal Circuit found that substantial evidence supported a finding that Blue Sky lacked the necessary intent to establish induced infringement, even though "KCI may be correct that 'practicing the prior art' [as Defendants' had argued] is not a defense to patent infringement." Id. at 23 (citation omitted). Finally, the Court denied KCI's motion for a new trial, finding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying KCI's motion. In a dissenting opinion, Judge Dyk stated that the district court's failure to construe the term "wound" was a "clear error." Additionally, Judge Dyk believed the panel majority adopted too narrow a construction for the term. Under Judge Dyk's broader construction of the term, he would have found the claims obvious in light of the prior art.

10 Things to Do for $10 in Denver This Weekend (8 Free!), October 2-4
Oh, we gettin' down at Mile High Soul Club this weekend.
Danielle Lirette
Denver is growing out of control, but the city's diversity keeps it a great place to live. This weekend you can see art in a bathroom, learn Swahili and explore train travel for a relatively little cost. You can also check out the Westword calendar for more to do beyond this list of the ten best events under $10...most of them free!
Grand Expand at BookBar (6 p.m. Friday, free)
Pop bottles at BookBar tonight, because it's christening its brand-new patio, study room and children's section of the wine bar for book lovers. Enjoy bubbles, tasty treats, late-night trivia and all kinds of other fun things. Rumor has it the BookBar is opening a bed-and-breakfast upstairs in the near future, so hopefully we'll be able to celebrate that soon as well.
The Taste of the Name at 1465 Jasmine Street (8 p.m. Friday, free)
Thanks to the lack of practical art space for the installation medium, this film installation will take place in the artist's own bathroom. The Taste of the Name is a solo exhibition by Toronto-based Serena Lee, and will also feature an essay reading by Leila Armstrong.
EnduroCross at National Western Complex (9 a.m. Saturday, free)
EnduroCross is a pretty wild event, in which people ride motorcycles on an indoor course filled with rocks, logs, mud pits and jumps. The actual competition is a little over our $10 cap, but you can bring the family down and watch practice all day before the race for free. There are sure to be some spills and other exciting things to see — and you can maybe even grab some autographs.
Amtrak Train Days at Union Station (10 a.m. Saturday, free)
Riding across this nation in a giant silver bullet, grinding the rails, is exactly what you'll want to do after checking out Train Days. Hop aboard the exhibit train to learn all about the past and future of Amtrak travel. There's activities for the kids and a a couple nice spots in Union Station where you can get a good Bloody Mary while the kids are occupied.
World Wide Festival at Garner Galleria Theatre (10 a.m. Sunday, free)
Denver has twelve sister cities that are coming to town to share their culture. Stop by the Galleria to find out how to make Japanese origami, get Indian henna tattoos, cook French crepes, listen to Italian opera, hear Ethiopian fables, learn to count in Swahili and so much more. It's basically a free trip around the world!
Celebrate an overload of creativity at Titwrench.
Tom Murphy
Titwrench Fest at Dryer Plug Studios (10:30 a.m. Saturday, $10)
Titwrench has been pushing the boundaries of music, art and performance in this town since 2009, with extra focus on highlighting women and the LGBT communities. Stretch your day off with live music and yoga; swap clothes with tacos in hand, check out a small market of DIY goods and enjoy live music until 2 a.m. It's going to be a huge celebration of creating.
Stompin' Ground Games at Ruby Hill Park (3 p.m. Saturday, free/donations)
We all have our favorite neighborhoods, but the Warm Cookies of the Revolution folks will give us a chance to explore a bunch of communities over the next year. Let's kick off the exploration at Ruby Hill Park; from starting as a trash dump to becoming the official diamond of the DKBC and birthplace of your humble author, this neighborhood has a rich history. Come listen to music and poetry, hear stories from residents, and make new friends. It's time to let this hill shine.
The DJ's got the soul.
Danielle Lirette
Mile High Soul Club at Syntax Physic Opera (9 p.m. Saturday, free)
Let loose to the sweet sounds of soul tonight. Soul Daddies Tyler Jacobson and Steve Cervantes always play the hits, but guest DJ Jason Heller should really turn the soul up a notch for one of the city's best dance parties.
White Mirror Public Art Memorial Dance Performance at Babi Yar Park (6:30 p.m. Sunday, free)
Be a part of Denver history as the city commissions its first ever dance as public art performance. Planned specifically for Babi Yar Park, White Mirror will be performed by Lemon Sponge Cake dancers and collaborator Sharon Wehner, principal dancer with the Colorado Ballet. Bring a blanket and a picnic and watch the performance in memory of the thousands of Jews, Gypsies, Ukrainians and others who lost their lives in the Ukrainian Babi Yar ravine during World War 2.

Never end the weekend without a good laugh. This week we get a double dose of funny with Infauxmation and Uncalled Four. A fake news program and a game that separates normal people from absolute creeps takes center stage tonight for a great way to wrap up your weekend.

Kabul: A United Nations agency in Afghanistan plans to stop publishing photographs on its website to highlight the plight of Afghan women ahead of International Women's Day on March 8, a UN official said yesterday. The move aims to bring attention to the fear many Afghan women have of the potential consequences of appearing in public or having their photographs published, said Rob Few, chief of communications for the UN Development Program in Kabul. Photographs already on the UNDP's Afghanistan website would be blacked out starting yesterday, and replaced with the hashtag #WhereAreTheWomen, few said.
Original captions would remain, so visitors to the site know what they are missing, and no new photographs would be posted, he said.
In Afghanistan, women are often subject to abuse. As a result, few women work outside the home or are active in public life, despite constitutional guarantees of their safety.

Nevada is one of the most expansive states in the U.S., but, given that much of the land is largely uninhabited desert, it is also one of the least populous and least densely populated. The state's higher education options are also limited compared to other states, with exactly 10 private, public and community colleges and universities found mostly in Las Vegas, Reno, and Henderson. The Nevada System of Higher Education (NHSE) oversees these institutions, with an elected Board of Regents setting educational policies and approving budgets for the state's public system of higher education. Some of the board's initiatives include promoting cultural and ethnic diversity throughout the system; helping nontraditional students complete their degrees; ensuring cost savings and efficiency across college and university facilities; examining how the state's four community colleges can continue to meet increasing student demand; and providing materials for students, parents, and school administrators on the college admissions process.
Nevada is also one of 15 states in the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE), which works to boost access to higher education for students in the West and ensure their success. Through this participation, Nevada students have saved $72 million since 1988 through the commission's Student Exchange Program. The state has also focused its efforts on increasing completion rates for adults with prior college credit, worked to accelerate the adoption of technology-enhanced teaching and learning in higher education, and participated in WICHE policy initiatives related to distance education, workforce development, and behavioral health.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell if your toilet is leaking. Did you know that a "running" toilet can waste up to two gallons of water per minute? That's wasting up to 7,000 gallons of water a month!
There's a quick and easy way to check for a slow leak. Add food coloring to your tank, wait 30 minutes to an hour, and if you see color in the toilet bowl, you have a leak.
TIP: You'll want to flush immediately after testing to avoid staining your toilet tank.
A running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water every day, sometimes more. This can add $500 to a single water bill. Usually leaks in the toilet are caused by a defective flush valve. By replacing gaskets, flapper valve or other worn parts in your toilet you can keep your toilet happy and save water.
It's typically best to replace the entire rubber flapper as it's inexpensive and easy. They usually pay for themself in water savings in a relatively short amount of time.

text: Court of Appeal Provides Clarity On Applications For Relief From Sanctions Judgment Could Have Significant Impact On Future Litigation Cases 12.08.2014 David Shirt, Press Officer | 0161 838 3094 A judgment handed down in The Court of Appeal last month has provided further guidance to post-Jackson applications for relief from sanctions (RFS) in litigation cases. The RFS issue has become a hot topic since last year's high profile 'plebgate' case involving former Conservative party Chief Whip, Andrew Mitchell, and News Group Newspapers. During the hearing in 2013, Mr Mitchell's legal team failed to file a costs budget on time which resulted in him being treated by the Judge as having filed a costs budget comprising only the relevant court fees. Mitchell was subsequently refused relief from sanctions under CPR 3.9 and although at the time he was granted permission to appeal, this was rejected by Court of Appeal. The strict approach to procedural compliance has caused controversy and a great deal of satellite litigation. The Court of Appeal therefore specially listed three cases to analyse the issue. These were Denton v White & others; Decadent Vapours Limited v Bevan & others and Utilise TDS Limited v Cranstoun Davies & others. In doing so, it established that the Mitchell decision has led to some confusion in the lower courts and found that there is no rule that relief must be refused for a non-trivial breach lacking a good reason. As a result, the Judgment highlighted the need for clarification on the interpretation and application of Rule 3.9. and introduces a three-stage test to be applied by courts when determining RFS applications. This first stage calls for an identification and assessment of the seriousness and significance of the 'failure to comply with any rule, practice direction or court order'. This replaces the triviality criteria used in the Mitchell case. Secondly, the reason for the breach much be considered and thirdly, it calls for an evaluation of all the circumstances of the case. It also recommends 'heavy costs' penalties for respondents who unreasonably object to an application for relief.

The coldest days of the year are now behind us, and spring has sprung. Now is the perfect time to update your decor to make the most of the longer days, just in time for Easter. The following ideas are all doable within a weekend and are designed to suit a range of budgets, so you can be spring-ready and look forward to the summer.
If you don't have the time to spare for a full seasonal revamp, a set of new cushion covers could be just the thing. With plenty of opportunities to experiment with colour and texture, new cushions for sofas and beds can really refresh a room. For maximum impact, choose bright colours or prints to contrast with your existing furniture to add a bright pop of colour. If you are a budding sewing enthusiast, or are looking for holiday crafts for the kids, cushion covers are a great starter project as you only need a little fabric - it's also a fantastic way to add some personalisation to a room.
Another incredibly easy and cheap way to revamp a room is to add or change the throws, particularly in a living room or bedroom. While snuggling up under a blanket is the usual decor go-to for winter, if you choose the right weight of fabric, a new throw can be a welcome addition in the spring - linen, cotton, bamboo, or lightweight quilts are all good starting points. Add a couple of layers of linen blankets for chillier days, which you can then put away for the summer. Lighter shades of yellow, green, and blue will keep you cool while making the most of the extra light.
A more dramatic way to revamp a room is to change up the curtains, especially if you need to adjust the amount of light you let into the room - for example, if you are struggling to sleep through the extra hours of sunlight, consider blackout blinds. Bright to dark block colours are most effective for blackout blinds, as lighter shades will still allow some pesky light through - blues, reds, greens, and purples are both very effective colour choices if you are considering other seasonal decor changes.
While it may not be as cold any more, a freezing tiled or wooden floor can still be unpleasant for bare feet in the spring. Because of their warm texture, fluffy rugs are much better suited for winter, but linen or foam rugs are a cool and comfortable addition to any hard floor for the spring and summer. Outdoor patio rugs make a welcome addition to many indoor rooms, too!

Kenny sure does get fucked a lot over at Corbin Fisher. And ripped hunk Travis is the latest to plunge into the lad's ass. After Kenny gives Travis a long, wet blowjob, he gets his own dick sucked; but Travis is really interested in Kenny's ass and dives in with his tongue. There's lot of kissing while they fuck, and I loved watching Kenny ride Travis' bone until he was ready to blow his load.

Dear Edie Palmer,
My great-grandfather is Alexander F. Yerby. He was born in Fayette,Al in 1841. He enlisted in the confederate Army June the 11th 1861 at the Fayette Co. court house. He enlisted in the 11th Alabama volinteers. About a year later, he was transfered to the 26th Alabama volinteers.After the war ended,he moved to Hickory Flat,Ms, where he married Mary Beard.About 1881,he died.Mary Beard and her childern Arthur Frank Yerby,Thomas Yerby moved from New Albany,MS to the area of Van Buren,AR.
My father James D. Yerby Sr.,told me stories of a man he called Uncle Sam. His name was Sam Beard.He had a hand shot off as a younger man. He wore a metal ring on the stub of that arm. His brothers name was Lee Loring Beard.
Our family owned property in Florsville,TX,Wilson Co.Its was called the L.L.Beard estate.It was sold in about 1962.Oil rights were maintained to some degree.
Alexander F. Yerby,was a Methodist minister.Thomas Yerby was my great-uncle.I have much family history that was sent to me by my cousion Hildred Carlson of Tenn.If your would like some more infomation ,contact me by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Glad to find a family member,my part of the family left the south after the Civil War ended,and slowly moved there way across the United States to California and lost contact with our family and roots in the deep south.
James D. Yerby Jr.

Abt wants to bow out of its championship with a win
For Abt Sportsline, the championship year is heading onto the finish straight with the final of the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) at Hockenheim. Laurent Aiello, who sensationally clinched the title in Europe's premier touring car series for the team from Kempten last season, will be replaced by his successor next weekend. For the final round, team director Hans-Jürgen Abt has issued a clear mission statement: "We want to bow out of this season with a fine performance -- the best way would be with a victory."
The final at Hockenheim looks set to be one of the most spectacular weekends of this season. Already now, over 45,000 tickets have been sold, which promises a new record crowd for the DTM at this traditional venue for the closing round of the season. "Even though we can no longer win the championship, we want to provide a great show for the fans", Hans-Jürgen Abt announces. "We don't have to think of any tactics and we can attack freely."
Within the team from the Allgäu, there are quite a few candidates for victory. First and foremost, of course, champion Laurent Aiello. So far, he is the only driver having succeeded in breaking Mercedes's winning streak with his victory at the Nürburgring. But obviously, one win this season is too little for the Frenchman, who has already won many titles during his career. The second candidate is Mattias Ekström, currently fourth in the championship, even ahead of his French team-mate. The Swedish shooting star has already been on the podium four times this year, the only thing missing for him is the place on the top step.
"This year, too, we are having a well-balanced driver line-up", Hans-Jürgen Abt is delighted. Next to Aiello and Ekström, he also has Christian Abt and youngster Martin Tomczyk, two more candidates for being among the front-runners in this top class field of drivers. And while Peter Terting, only 19 years old, is in his learning year I the DTM, stalwart Karl Wendlinger is succeeding time and time again to make it into the top ten with his Abt-Audi TT-R from the 2002 season, like most recently at Zandvoort.
This year again, the focus is entirely on the fans during the final round at Hockenheim. For instance, there will be an autograph session with all the DTM-drivers in the paddock on Saturday afternoon again. After the finish of the race, the track in the Motodrom will be turned into a parc fermé with the prize-giving ceremony for the winning drivers taking place on a rolling podium in the middle of the fans. "A great thing that our drivers are enjoying, too. Exactly that interaction with the fans is what makes the DTM so unique, a difference from Formula 1-weekends", says Hans-Jürgen Abt.
Quotes before the race
Laurent Aiello (Abt-Audi TT-R #1):
"I was proud of being allowed to race in the DTM with the starting number one for one entire season. And when I have to give up my title, I prefer to do so with a victory. The track at Hockenheim suits me, I don't have to pay attention to any tactics. The fans can look forward to a great show."
Christian Abt (Abt-Audi TT-R #2):
"Even though things weren't going as perfectly sometimes this year when compared to the previous season, our fans have been supporting us completely each weekend. We want to thank them once more with a good result a Hockenheim. Even though Mercedes is celebrating the title, we won't let them win the Hockenheim race without some stiff opposition."
Mattias Ekström (Abt-Audi TT-R #5):
"Of course, it is my goal to become the best-placed Abt driver. Therefore, the battle between Laurent (Aiello) and me will be an exciting affair, as we are separated by only one point. This season, I definitely wanted to win races and a couple of times, I have come really close. It looks like I only have one chance left now..."
Karl Wendlinger (Abt-Audi TT-R #6):
"I am quite relaxed coming to the final. The result of Zandvoort, where I made it into the points, was a reward for the entire team for the hard work done this year. When the performance of my Abt-Audi TT-R is that good again at Hockenheim, I can make it into the top ten again."
Martin Tomczyk (Abt-Audi TT-R #14):
"I have no trouble at the track at Hockenheim. During the season opener in April, I made it up to second place on the grid in the first Super Pole. Of course, I hope that I can do so again and that I then can make the best of my chance."
Peter Terting (Abt-Audi TT-R #15):
"It is quite a strange feeling indeed coming back to Hockenheim, where I contested my first DTM-race back in April. I have learnt a lot since and obviously, that is what I want to prove during the final. And I am of course also looking forward to the great crowd in the Motodrom."

Diarrhea incidence and intestinal infections among rotavirus vaccinated infants from a poor area in Brazil: a spatial analysis
Disease epidemiology - infectious
Acute diarrhea is the second leading cause of mortality among children under 5 years of age in developing countries. The pathogen most strongly associated with diarrhea is rotavirus followed by enteric pathogens such as bacteria, helminthes and protozoan. Adequate sanitation and water supply contribute to decrease acute diarrhea incidence of most etiologic agents, although vaccination remains the most important intervention to control rotavirus acute diarrhea. This study aimed to describe environmental conditions and analyze spatially the acute diarrhea and intestinal infection among rotavirus vaccinated infants from Laranjeiras-Sergipe, Brazil.
Children were enrolled between 2 and 11 months of age and followed through 12 months. Demographic, socioeconomic and environmental data were obtained from a questionnaire, and immunization data were obtained from children vaccination card. Children stool samples were collected each month in order to run laboratory analyses. The household spatial localization was obtained by using a Global Positioning System (GPS). Spatial analysis was performed using the TerraView computer program and Kernel intensity estimation.
A total of 1,113 stool samples were collected with 80 being diarrhea associated. Diarrhea incidence rate was 0.5 ± 1.0 episodes/child/year. The overall infection rates by
The studied infants live equally in precarious conditions of sanitation which probably explain the significant rates of parasitic infections appearing in early life. The low acute diarrhea incidence in the studied rotavirus vaccinated population and the low number of symptomatic rotavirus infection may indicate vaccination efficacy to prevent acute diarrhea among young children in a poor environmental sanitary setting.
Brazil now lives a transitional socioeconomic condition, oscillating from "emergent leader"
Parasitic intestinal infections are considered important because of the frequency with which they may produce damage, including some delay in physical and intellectual development, particularly in younger age groups
The spatial distribution of intestinal parasites varies within and between spatial clusters. Households within large clusters have higher prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections than smaller clusters due to larger possibility of contamination when with sewage deficit, contaminated soil, poor water quality, malnutrition, limited host resistance, poorer socio-economic status and poor hygiene conditions
Infectious and parasitic diseases transmission is associated to the environment, making its understanding very important. It may be important to know where and how frequently such infections occur, to plan strategies of control
Viral agents are important and widely distributed (including developed and developing regions) causal agents of diarrhea in different age groups. Among them, the rotavirus represents the most common cause of childhood diarrhea in industrialized and developing countries and contributes significantly to infant mortality in the last ones
Brazil has the largest cohort of rotavirus vaccinated individuals worldwide and introduced very early after approval (March 2006) the Rotarix® (GSK Biologicals, Rixensart, Belgium) vaccine. Studies have shown progressive reduction in the proportion of rotavirus in diarrhea cases in Sergipe, since the introduction of rotavirus vaccine (24% in 2006, 9.5% in 2007 and 7.4% in 2008)
After vaccine introduction, diarrhea epidemiology have definitely changed, but there were very few studies, if any, evaluating other causes occurrence and environmental involvement and contribution to the disease distribution and profile. This study aimed to describe environmental conditions and analyze spatially the acute diarrhea and intestinal infection among rotavirus vaccinated infants from Laranjeiras, Sergipe, Brazil.
This is a prospective survey describing the association of spatial and environmental conditions and the incidence of acute diarrhea and intestinal infections of young children in Laranjeiras, Sergipe, Northeast, Brazil. Laranjeiras is a 27,000 inhabitant's municipality with 7,404 (100%) families assisted by the Family Health Program (PSF), a regional hospital and 13 health units
We assessed the population with children aging 2 to 11 months of life living in the municipality with the collaboration of the Health Department of Laranjeiras, which released the list of all live births in the period of study (n = 222). The eligible children were identified using the central municipality records and all parents/guardians were invited to attend information meetings at each Health Unit corresponding to the area where the family was registered. After written concordance they were interviewed using a questionnaire to obtain demographic, socioeconomic and environmental information of their households. Children's vaccination cards were checked to confirm the dates when the 1st and 2nd doses of rotavirus vaccine had been administered.
Monthly stool samples were requested as well as samples during any acute diarrhea episode according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria
The spatial data collection was performed by the absolute method with an instant positioning of a point, using the Global Positioning System (GPS), GARMIN model, for the spatial location of households and of each Health Unit corresponding to the area
The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Sergipe. Children were enrolled after written informed consent from parents or guardians was obtained.
The spatial data were imported into the software TerraView 4.1 (
Relative and absolute values of frequency were used to describe the studied population. The rate of intestinal infection was obtained from calculations of the cumulative incidence at every 3 months of follow-up. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the variables that most influenced the episodes of diarrhea and the enteric infections, whose measure was calculated from the logistic model odds ratio (OR) with confidence interval (CI) of 95%. The significance level of
Out of the 222 children born in Laranjeiras during the period, 173 (77.9%) children could be accessed and were enrolled at the first meetings. Of these 130 (75%) remained during the full 12 months of follow-up. Among the 43 children who left the study, 29 (16.8%) moved to another city and 13 (7.5%) dropped out. During the study, one patient died not associated to diarrhea or enteric infection.
Most participants lived in inadequate sanitary conditions, whereas 76% lived in areas lacking sanitary sewage, using cesspits, and 50% of mothers stated there were open ditches with wastewater near their residences. The majority of families (73%) had piped water inside their homes, 65% arising from the public water company; and 73% lived in homes made of bricks (Table
Most children 153 (88.4%) received both doses of the rotavirus vaccine, 12 (6.9%) received only the 1st dose, 3 (1.7%) received no dose and 5 (2.9%) showed no vaccination card.
1,113 stool samples were collected during the 12 months of follow-up, with 1,033 samples not associated and 80 associated with episodes of diarrhea. The average number of stool samples collected from each child over the 12 months was of 6.4 ± 3.5. There was a monthly average of 6.7 ± 3.0 episodes of diarrhea and an incidence of 0.5 ± 1.0 episode of acute diarrhea/child/year.
There was a higher incidence of infection by protozoa in the 1st quarter of the study, with a subsequent decline as the children were getting older (4th quarter).
There was a lower frequency of rotavirus infection when the children were in the 1st quarter (0.5%), with a progressive increase in incidence in the 3rd (5.2%) and subsequent reduction in the 4th quarter of follow-up (2.3%). Rotavirus was identified in 29 (2.6%) of the 1,113 analyzed samples, with only three of them associated with a diarrhea episode (Table
There was only one positive sample of pathogenic bacteria (

The frequency of helminths showed small variations between the quarters. In the 3rd and 4th quarters a highest number of cases occurred in the urban center and in the adjacent area, north of the region, represented by a rural village. Figure

This is the first study to describe the spatial distribution of acute diarrhea and enteric infections in a cohort of infants living in a low income community in Brazil with high population coverage of rotavirus vaccination. The number of acute diarrhea episodes/child/year was low and very few children had rotavirus diarrhea detected. These findings are similar to the ones found by Vieira et al. (2011)
One of the particularities of this study was the occurrence of rotavirus in 2.5% of the stool samples without diarrhea, contrary to the findings of Borges et al. (2011)
We observed a fluctuation on
Within protozoa,
In our study, enteroparasites were also detected in diarrheic samples, similar to the findings from Nigeria, where 18.6% of toddlers with diarrhea were infected
Most families in Laranjeiras, both in rural and urban areas, had water supplied by the public water system that used to work with constant discontinuity. Consequently, there was frequent storage of household water, most often improperly, compromising the quality of the water used by these families. The sanitary disposal ways, including the sewage, dumping of human waste and wastewater in public streams, were also poor. The homogeneity and frequency of these inadequate characteristics in the study area contributed to the significant occurrence of intestinal parasites, even in early childhood. Other studies have observed that such conditions are determinant to increase parasitic intestinal infections in different places
The occurrences of parasites, rotavirus and diarrheal episodes in infants in this study have irregular distribution within the geographic space of Laranjeiras. The estimation of case intensity in the different areas by the Kernel method revealed higher frequency of enteric infections in the urban area and surrounding regions, where there is higher concentration of households and therefore a greater number of people living in an environment with poor sanitation.
One of the limitations of this study was the method of collection of stool samples, which depended on the availability of those responsible for the children in delivering monthly those samples, which may have contributed to an underestimation of the number of episodes of diarrhea. However, the children were visited at home at least every two weeks, which may have minimized the underestimation. Diarrhea episodes were not severe, and mothers may have not considered its occurrence as a problem and did not collect a sample.
The results of this study demonstrate a low number of episodes of diarrhea in children, in a situation of poor environmental condition. This may suggest that high rotavirus vaccination coverage may have contributed for such a situation. It is also worthwhile to note the early occurrence of enteroparasitic infections, more frequent into the urban households, showing an evident environmental contamination that must be faced with better sanitary and living conditions for the population.

voice translation profile / rule query
Hi. Using CME and a BRI.
I have a number of DID's I want to use. I've set up our internal extension numbers with the last 3 digits of the available DID range we were given, which is probably good practice id imagine. I was using a dialplan pattern to route the calls coming in to extensions, but im not happy with this as its unreliable. I've been advised in another post to use voice translation rules, so ive stripped the following line out:
dialplan-pattern 1 447... extension-length 3 extension-pattern ...
OK. Ive now configure the following as a test to see if it will work for one DID number:
Voice translation-rule 1
Rule 1 /447512/ /512/
Voice translation-profile INCOMINGDDI
translate calling 1
AND on my incoming dial peer:
dial-peer voice 57 pots
description **Answers All Incoming Calls**
incoming called-number .
translation-profile incoming INCOMINGDDI <---inserted line
port 0/1/0
However, when I call my DID number nothing answers; I get Unallocated Number message back from the Telco. Any help would be appreciated :)
