Corporate operator Lion Aero was looking for a good value in a light or intermediate twin-engine helicopter to meet its corporate transport needs. What the company found was a Bell 230 that had done extensive corporate service in India. It would need "substantial work," to understate the challenge.
Enter MRO and refurbishment specialist PAC International (Booth No. 1021). While the airframe fundamentals were there, the aircraft was not airworthy and additional work was needed to bring the helicopter to the standard required by Lion Aero's corporate passengers.
Following its arrival at the Port of Baltimore, the helicopter was trucked to PAC International's southwestern Pennsylvania facility. It began its next life with an inspection and review of what had to be done. Then it progressed through modifications and repairs, upgrades to the drive, electrical and avionics systems, interior refurbishment and finally a flashy exterior paint job.
When it was done, Lion Aero took its new aircraft on an extended business trip to New York and then to Florida for evaluation as to suitability for its mission.
PAC director of maintenance Ed Wahl was sufficiently happy with the results that he appealed to Lion Aero to allow PAC to display the "new" helicopter at its Heli-Expo 2011 exhibit. Lion Aero, equally happy, agreed.
To get a look at "The ugly duckling that turned to a lion," visit the PAC International exhibit (Booth No. 1021).
Oooohs and ahhhhs gratefully accepted.

If a player gets traded it is to fix a need that a team has, CAR's need is on defense and Skinner could help rectify that problem.
Because JR just signed him to a 6 year extension which hasn't even kicked in yet. He's not even thinking about trading Skinner. Skinner was the asked to be included in the Nash deal and JR pulled out. So you think we'd trade him for a mid round pick and a prospect? No. I don't anyways. JR may start to change his mind a few years into this extension, but Skinner is not going anywhere anytime soon for anything other than overpayment.

If Phoenix wants to move some salary I'd take back Klesla. The only forward that would be attractive coming back would be Boedker but I've seen a lot of Phoenix fans prefer taking a bullet to the face than moving Boedker.
I'd ask for Yandle. Considering Nash wasn't worth Skinner to JR, I doubt even Yandle would pry Skinner away.
And a sidenote: Just because a GM doesn't deal a player for a certain value return doesn't necessarily make that player that value. It just makes the GM stubborn.

In another revelation caused by intelligence analyst Edward Snowden's leaks to journalist Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian reports on a tool the National Security Agency developed to collect almost all user activity on the Internet, all without a court order of any kind, called XKeyscore:
XKeyscore, the documents boast, is the NSA's "widest reaching" system developing intelligence from computer networks – what the agency calls Digital Network Intelligence (DNI). One presentation claims the program covers "nearly everything a typical user does on the internet", including the content of emails, websites visited and searches, as well as their metadata.
Analysts can also use XKeyscore and other NSA systems to obtain ongoing "real-time" interception of an individual's internet activity.
This tool backs up Snowden's earlier claims that he could "wiretap anyone, from you or your accountant, to a federal judge or even the president, if I had a personal email" address. One example of XKeyscore's power is the ability to read emails, just by using the personal email address:
To search for emails, an analyst using XKS enters the individual's email address into a simple online search form, along with the "justification" for the search and the time period for which the emails are sought.
The analyst then selects which of those returned emails they want to read by opening them in NSA reading software.
The Guardian later released a full slideshow discussing the tool from 2008, which showed that the NSA could even check a user's history on Google Maps using XKeyscore. While the sheer amount of data makes it impossible to store everything from long periods of time, XKeyscore makes up for this by allowing NSA agents to transfer the data to more permanent agency databases. The agency claims the service has been responsible for the capture of 300 terrorists by 2008 through XKeyscore, though to what extent they mean by that remains vague.
All the meanwhile, evidence is mounting that the United States government is pushing the limits of what it can collect in terms of user data. Along with today's revelations, Twitter reported that the government made over 900 requests for user data, tenfold over the next highest country, according to TheNextWeb:
Of those 900-odd requests, which spanned 1,319 individual accounts, 67 percent of them were at least partially fulfilled by Twitter. Around 56 percent of those requests came in the form of subpoenas (which do not require a judge's sign-off and request things like the email address associated with an account and IP logs), 23 percent from search warrants and around 11 percent as a result of court orders (which do require a judge's signature).
While the government has tried to make up for the trouble by releasing previously classified information regarding a secret court order on phone records from Verizon, it comes as bit of a weak bone to throw at everyone. Still, these revelations make it increasingly apparent that the government is intent on gathering whatever data people have for increasingly vague purposes. This does not bode well for anyone.

1 ASERNIP S Australian Safety and Efficacy Register of New Interventional Procedures Surgical Rapid review Treatments for varicose veins ASERNIP-S REPORT NO. 66 Australian Safety & Efficacy Register of New Interventional Procedures Surgical The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons
3 ASERNIP-S rapid review Disclaimer This is a rapid systematic review in which the methodology has been limited in one or more areas to shorten the timeline for its completion. Thus, modifications have been made in at least one of the following areas: search strategy, inclusion criteria, assessment of study quality and data analysis. It is considered that these amendments would not significantly alter the overall findings of the rapid review when compared to a full systematic review. The methodology used for the rapid review is described in detail, including the limits made for this particular topic. These limitations have been made possible mainly by restricting the specific clinical questions asked. These limits were applied following the requirements of the specific review topic, together with clinical guidance from a protocol surgeon. Therefore, this rapid review is a limited evidence-based assessment that is based on a simple systematic search of studies published in the peer reviewed literature. As a result, this rapid review may be used to inform certain questions on the specific review topic. i
4 Executive summary Aim and scope This rapid review aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of current treatment options for varicose veins through a limited systematic review of the literature. The treatment options assessed include surgery, phlebectomy, sclerotherapy, endovenous laser therapy (ELT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and conservative therapies, including the use of compression hosiery. Studies eligible for inclusion were those reporting on human patients with varicose veins of the legs, both superficial and complicated. Included studies were related to the use of one or more intervention for the treatment of varicose veins and compared at least one of the included interventions with another included treatment modality. Outcomes of interest included abolition of reflux, recurrence of varicose veins, reduction of symptoms, quality of life and the harms associated with each technique. Studies were excluded if they were cost-effectiveness, in-vitro or laboratory studies, or studies comparing technologies or techniques within a particular treatment modality, including surgical technique, sclerosant type or concentration, ELT laser wavelengths, or post-treatment therapy. Methods The search strategy identified articles published between January 1988 and February 2008 in the English language. The following databases were searched: BMJ Clinical Evidence, The York (UK) Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PubMed and EMBASE. Extended searching of internet websites, conference abstracts, handsearching of journals, and contacting of authors for unpublished data was not undertaken. The search terms used included: varicose veins, venous insufficiency, vascular surgical procedures, ligation, sclerotherapy, laser surgery and catheter ablation. Data was extracted from the included studies using tables created a priori, the methodological quality of the studies was assessed, results were examined and overall conclusions made. Key results and conclusions As searches identified several high-quality, recently published systematic reviews on the various treatments for varicose veins, these alone were included for assessment in the rapid review. One review compared ELT with surgery (MSAC 2003), one compared RFA with surgery (Adi et al 2004), one compared sclerotherapy with surgery (Rigby et al 2007), and one focused on foam sclerotherapy (Jia et al 2006). Conclusions based on the results of the reviews are summarised below: Ligation with stripping plus avulsion is generally regarded as the gold standard treatment for primary long saphenous veins.
5 Compression stockings are often used as a first-line treatment for varicose veins; however, no evidence was found to support the effectiveness of this. There appears to be a place for both surgery and sclerotherapy in the management of varicose veins. Sclerotherapy shows better immediate and early outcomes, but surgery produces more durable long-term ( 12 months) outcomes. Sclerotherapy and phlebectomy may be best suited to patients with minor superficial varicose veins not related to reflux in the saphenous system, or as a post-treatment or adjunctive procedure to other treatments. ELT appears to be as safe as conventional surgery with junction ligation and vein stripping, and is effective for occluding saphenous veins; however, it is unclear how ELT compares with other interventions. Evidence suggests potential short-term clinical benefits from RFA compared with surgery involving junction ligation with or without vein stripping. Data suggest shortterm safety of RFA is comparable to conventional surgery, with case-series evidence tentatively supporting its long-term safety. The extent of varicose veins should govern the intervention of choice, with no single treatment universally employed. A lack of high-quality comparative evidence made it difficult to make meaningful judgments regarding the relative safety and effectiveness of treatments for varicose veins. High-quality comparative studies (such as well-designed RCTs) are needed for definitive comparisons. iii

9 Introduction Objective To assess the safety and effectiveness of current medical treatment options (not including medicinal interventions) for patients with varicose veins through a limited systematic review of the literature. The treatment options include surgery (junction ligation with or without stripping), phlebectomy, sclerotherapy, endovenous laser therapy (ELT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and conservative therapies, including the use of compression hosiery. Background Condition Varicose veins are enlarged, tortuous, subcutaneous veins that commonly occur in the legs (Tisi 2007). The principal superficial leg veins are the great saphenous vein (GSV), which ascends the inner side of the leg from the inner arch of the foot up to the femoral vein, and the small saphenous vein (SSV), which runs from the outer arch of the foot up to the popliteal vein via the back of the leg (Gabella 1995). Veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart to be oxygenated and recirculated around the body. Blood from the legs must travel against gravity to reach the heart. This movement is helped by contractions of the lower leg muscles and the elasticity of the vein walls, which act together to pump the blood upwards. Valves positioned along the length of the vein close as the blood is pumped through them to prevent blood flowing backwards during muscle relaxation. Varicose veins are caused by faulty valves and decreased elasticity in the vein walls, which allow blood to backflow and pool. This is known as venous reflux (Tisi 2007). The affected veins enlarge and appear as green, dark blue or purple protrusions just below the skin s surface (Tisi 2007). The severity of symptoms associated with varicose veins varies and may include pain, heaviness, pruritis, ulceration, skin discolouration and oedema (Beale and Gough 2005). Severe symptoms include thrombophlebitis, bleeding and venous dermatitis, which often require intervention (Wolf and Brittenden 2001). The exact cause of venous reflux is unknown; however, several risk factors for the condition have been identified, including increasing age, female sex, obesity, inactivity and pregnancy (Callam 1994). Clinical need Varicose veins are common in many populations. While a previous review of their prevalence found no data for the Australian population, the prevalence rates in countries with a similar ethnic composition to Australia generally ranged from 10.4% to 23.0% in men and 29.5% to 39.0% in women (Medical Services Advisory Committee 2003). Data from Medicare Australia suggest that the largest group of patients requiring varicose vein treatment are women between the ages of 35 and 64 years (Medicare Australia 2008). Due to the dynamic and recurrent nature of the varicosities, most varicose vein conditions are long term and often require multiple treatments. In 2001, the prevalence of self-reported long-term varicose INTRODUCTION 1
10 veins in the Australian population was 2.3% 1.1% in males and 3.5% in females (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2004). According to the Australian National Morbidity Database, 14,950 surgical junction ligation procedures (with or without vein stripping) were used to treat varicose veins in In the same period, a further 2,654 ligation or stripping procedures were used to re-treat varicose veins (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2008). Examination and investigation A patient s suitability for treatment is ascertained through clinical examination to determine the source of venous incompetency. Ideally, this examination is followed by a duplex Doppler ultrasonography scan to confirm the presence of reflux (Wolf and Brittenden 2001). Venous disease is defined using a number of classification systems, none of which is universally accepted. The CEAP classification is a consensus document endorsed by the joint councils of the Society for Vascular Surgery and the North American-International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery (Eklof et al 2004). Chronic venous disease is classified according to clinical signs (C), aetiology/cause (E), anatomic distribution (A), and pathophysiologic condition (P), and clinically rated as ranging in severity from C0 to C6 (Table 1). Table 1: CEAP classification Classification C0 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 Source: Eklof et al 2004 Clinical signs No visible or palpable signs of venous disease Telangiectases or reticular veins Varicose veins; distinguished from reticular veins by a diameter of 3 mm or more Oedema Changes in skin and subcutaneous tissue secondary to venous disease, divided into two subclasses to better define differing severity of venous disease: C4a: Pigmentation or eczema C4b: Lipodermatosclerosis or atrophie blanche Healed venous ulcer Active venous ulcer Widmer s classification of venous disease is still commonly used in German-speaking countries (Widmer et al 1981). This classification system differentiates clearly between uncomplicated varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (Table 2). Table 2: Widmer s classification Varicose veins Class 1 Telangiectatic veins Class 2 Reticular varicose veins Class 3 Truncular varicosities: long or short saphenous vein and their branches Chronic venous insufficiency Grade I Telangiectasias beyond the inner ankle, corona phlebectatica Grade II Indurated edema, eczema, dermatoliposclerosis, hyperpigmentation Grade III Active or healed ulcer Source: Widmer et al 1981, in Mayer and Partsch INTRODUCTION
11 A similar classification system is Porter s classification, published as part of a document on reporting standards of venous disease and shown in Table 3 (Porter and Moneta 1995). Table 3: Porter s classification Classification Class 0 Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Clinical signs Asymptomatic Mild swelling and discomfort; superficial veins involved Hyperpigmentation in the gaiter area; subcutaneous fibrosis Ulcerative or preulcerative skin changes; eczema Source: Porter and Moneta 1995, in Mayer and Partsch 1999 Treatment A variety of therapies are available for treating varicose veins, including conservative therapies and surgical interventions. Conservative therapy, which attempts to limit disease progression, is recommended in asymptomatic patients or those with mild to moderate symptoms. A clinician may advise lifestyle changes, including physical exercise and weight loss, to promote circulation. Patients may also be discouraged from prolonged sitting or standing and advised to elevate the affected limbs whenever possible to reduce pressure on impaired vein valves (National Health Service 2007). Compression stockings provide relief for varicose vein symptoms, such as pain and swelling, while improving venous haemodynamics (Beale and Gough 2005). Surgical intervention generally becomes necessary when the symptoms of varicose veins significantly impinge on the patient s quality of life. Provided the deep venous system of the legs is competent and free from obstruction, a patient can safely tolerate the surgical removal or occlusion of varicose veins. The SSV and GSV are part of the superficial venous system. Most of the blood from the legs is returned to the heart via the deep leg veins; therefore, blood that previously travelled through the saphenous vein can be redirected through deep leg veins if the GSV becomes distended and varicotic. Figure 1 shows the clinical decisionmaking process for diagnosing and treating patients with varicose veins. INTRODUCTION 3

NOTE: dashed lines represent procedures not currently covered by MBS. Figure 1: Clinical decision pathway for diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins 4 INTRODUCTION
13 Sclerotherapy Usually, sclerotherapy is an outpatient procedure and is done under local anaesthetic. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a liquid chemical (sclerosant) into the abnormal vein to initiate inflammation, occlusion and scarring (Beale and Gough 2005). The damaged vein collapses and eventually fades. Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy allows the sclerosant to be injected directly into the GSV to treat larger and deeper varicosities (Beale and Gough 2005). Foam sclerotherapy mixes air or gas with the sclerosant to produce foam, allowing a small amount of sclerosant to cover a larger surface area by displacing blood within the vein (Beale and Gough 2005). Sclerosant can also be introduced to the vein by a catheter (known as endovascular sclerotherapy), allowing targeted and selective treatment (Belcaro et al 2000). High recurrence rates are common in patients with larger veins or venous reflux (Jakobsen 1979), primarily because of recanalisation or neovascularisation. Recanalisation is the spontaneous restoration of the lumen of the saphenous vein after occlusion, while neovascularisation is the proliferation of blood vessels in tissue where the saphenous vein has previously been removed. Although injection sclerotherapy is considered the gold standard treatment for smaller veins, it has a number of drawbacks when used to remove large veins (those greater than 4 mm in diameter). Injection sclerotherapy is also associated with an increased risk of adverse events, such as intra-arterial injection, dyschromia, haematoma, ulceration and thrombophlebitis, and it also has inconsistent long-term effectiveness (Sadick 2005). In Australia, claims for sclerotherapy under the MBS are limited to the treatment of veins 2.5 mm or greater in diameter. Treatment of smaller reticular veins and telangiectases with sclerotherapy is common, but not covered on the MBS. The number of sclerotherapy claims (MBS item numbers and 32501) has increased by almost 10,000 over the past 4 years, with more than 55,000 claims made in the year (Medicare Australia 2007). Phlebectomy Ambulatory phlebectomy involves removing abnormal veins below the saphenofemoral and saphenopopliteal junctions, not including the GSV and SSV. This procedure is best used on larger veins that do not have reflux. Under local anaesthetic, small incisions are made in the skin and large surface varicosities are extracted using a phlebotomy hook. This outpatient procedure is generally well tolerated and complications are rare. However, recurrence rates can be high if the source of the reflux is not treated (Sadick 2005). In Australia, the number of phlebectomy claims (MBS item number 32504) has increased by more than 1,100 over the past 4 years, with more than 2,500 claims made in the year (Medicare Australia 2007). Junction ligation, with or without vein stripping Junction ligation with or without vein stripping is generally appropriate when the GSV or SSV have reflux or incompetence demonstrated on duplex scanning, and in the majority of cases is performed as an inpatient procedure under general anaesthetic. Junction ligation involves tying off the vessel at either the saphenopopliteal or the saphenofemoral junction (Wolf and Brittenden 2001). Ligation alone is usually associated with a high varicose vein recurrence INTRODUCTION 5
14 rate, and patients may need further treatment with sclerotherapy (Bergan et al 2001). In most cases, ligation is accompanied by GSV stripping and is regarded by many as the treatment of choice for varicose veins (Wolf and Brittenden 2001). Stripping the GSV involves making incisions in the patient s groin and knee or ankle. After ligation of the GSV and tributary veins, a stripper is inserted into the vein and passed, either down from the groin to the knee or up from the ankle to the groin. The end of the GSV is tied onto the stripper, which is gently withdrawn from the point of exit, thereby removing the vein (Lofgren 1985; Bergan et al 2002). Perforate invagination (PIN) is a modification of conventional stripping that reduces the tissue trauma associated with conventional stripping. While results are generally longer lasting than other treatments, surgical treatment is usually a day-case or inpatient operation with general anaesthesia. Surgery involving ligation, with or without stripping, may cause complications such as tissue trauma and nerve damage, and often requires a period of recuperation (Michaels et al 2006). Stripping below the knee is generally discouraged because it increases the risk of nerve damage (Winterborn et al 2004). In Australia, the combined number of ligation/stripping claims (MBS item numbers 32508, 32511, and 32517) has decreased by just over 1,000 procedures in the past 4 years, with approximately 10,000 claims being made in the year (Medicare Australia 2007). Treatments not currently listed on the MBS Two endovenous treatments for varicose veins not currently available through the MBS are endovenous laser therapy (ELT) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Both treatments involve inserting a heat-generating laser fibre or catheter into the incompetent saphenous vein, positioned just below the saphenofemoral or saphenopopliteal junction. Heat is generated through laser (ELT) or radiofrequency (RFA) energy and the fibre or catheter is slowly withdrawn down the length of the vein causing endothelial and vein wall damage, contraction of the vein wall and, ultimately, destruction of the vessel (Manfrini et al 2000; Diomed Ltd 2001; Navarro et al 2001; Sybrandy and Wittens 2002; Myers et al 2006). Although these treatments are not listed on the MBS, they are included in this rapid review because they are used widely in Australia. 6 INTRODUCTION
15 Research questions This rapid review addressed the following specific research questions: What is the evidence regarding the effectiveness of current medical treatment options (not including medicinal interventions) for varicose veins including surgery (junction ligation with or without stripping), phlebectomy, sclerotherapy, ELT, RFA and conservative therapies (including the use of compression hosiery) compared with each other? What is the evidence regarding the safety of current medical treatment options for varicose veins compared with each other? RESEARCH QUESTIONS 7
16 Methodology Inclusion criteria Studies were selected for inclusion in this rapid review on the basis of the criteria outlined below. Population Studies of human patients having treatment for varicose veins of the legs, both superficial and complicated, were included. Intervention Included studies were related to the use of one or more of the interventions for the treatment of varicose veins listed in Table 4. Table 4: Interventions for study inclusion Intervention Sclerotherapy Phlebectomy Surgery Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) Endovenous laser therapy (ELT) Conservative therapy Conditions Performed on veins greater than 2.5 mm in diameter Performed using continuous compression techniques Performed independently of other varicose vein interventions (excluding after-care) Performed on tributary veins (includes ligation of perforator veins) Performed independently of varicose vein surgery Ligation with or without stripping of saphenous vein May also include phlebectomy or sclerotherapy of tributary and perforator veins as part of the same procedure Performed on saphenous vein only Performed on saphenous vein only May include use of compression hosiery Comparator interventions Studies were considered for inclusion if they compared at least one of the included interventions with another included treatment modality. Outcomes Studies were included if they contained information on at least one of the following outcomes: Effectiveness abolition of venous reflux recurrence of varicose veins recanalisation reduction of symptoms 8 METHODOLOGY
17 Safety quality of life time taken to resume normal activities operating time. mortality thromboembolism nerve damage and paraesthesia postoperative infection bleeding pain haematoma ecchymosis bruising. Study design Recently published, well-conducted systematic reviews, rather then primary studies were selected preferentially for including in the review and critical appraisal. Systematic reviews were defined as those studies that met all the following criteria as defined by Cook et al (1997): 1. Focused clinical question 2. Explicit search strategy 3. Use of explicit, reproducible and uniformly applied criteria for article selection 4. Critical appraisal of the included studies 5. Qualitative or quantitative data synthesis. Where there were two or more systematic reviews with the same inclusion and exclusion criteria, the latest and most complete study was included. If no suitable systematic reviews on the topic were available, RCTs and pseudorandomised controlled trials were considered eligible for inclusion and critical appraisal. A study was deemed to be an RCT if the author(s) stated explicitly (usually by some variant of the term random to describe the allocation procedure used) that the groups compared in the trial were established by random allocation (Higgins and Green 2005). Studies in which the method of allocation was known but was not considered strictly random (for example, alternation, date of birth and medical record number) were classified as pseudorandomised controlled trials METHODOLOGY 9
18 (Higgins and Green 2005). Where no randomised or pseudorandomised controlled trials were identified, nonrandomised comparative studies were also included in the review. When overlapping patient groups were reported in studies, only the paper quoting the most complete data set was used. Publication date Following an initial scoping search, several high-quality and recently published systematic reviews were identified on the topic. On the suggestion of an advisory surgeon with relevant knowledge and expertise on the treatment of varicose veins, literature considered eligible for inclusion and critical appraisal was restricted to studies published from January 1988 onwards. Language of publication Included studies were restricted to those published in English. Exclusion criteria The following types of studies were excluded from this rapid review: cost-effectiveness, in-vitro or laboratory studies studies comparing technologies or techniques within a particular treatment modality, including surgical technique (for example, conventional or inversion stripping, use of tourniquet, ligation with and without stripping), sclerosant type (for example, liquid or foam) or concentration, endovenous laser therapy (ELT) laser wavelengths, or posttreatment therapy Literature search strategies Databases searched The following databases were searched from January 1988 to 12 February 2008: BMJ Clinical Evidence The York (UK) Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD) The Cochrane Library PubMed EMBASE. The review did not include extended searching of internet websites and conference abstracts, handsearching of journals, contacting authors for unpublished data or pearling references from retrieved articles. 10 METHODOLOGY
19 Search terms Search terms used are listed below, while details of the full search strategy (based on a PubMed platform) are provided in Appendix A.

Selection of studies The reviewer (BH) applied the inclusion criteria to identify those studies potentially eligible for selection and appraisal based on their abstracts; these studies were retrieved as full text. The selection criteria were then applied fully to the retrieved studies to identify those to be appraised and included in the review. Full publications subsequently found not to meet the inclusion criteria were excluded, and reasons for exclusion were documented. Data extraction and appraisal of study methodology Data from all included studies were extracted by one reviewer (DL) and checked by a second reviewer (BH) using standardised data extraction tables that were developed a priori. The studies included in the review were classified according to the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) hierarchy of evidence (NHMRC 2000) (Table 5). METHODOLOGY 11

Were the inclusion and exclusion criteria of included studies clearly stated? Did the review use a clear and comprehensive search strategy? Did the review assess the validity of included studies, and if so which validity criteria were used? Was the analysis or synthesis of the results appropriate? Did the review include a summary of its main results, including a discussion of its strengths and limitations? Where primary studies were eligible for inclusion in the review, the following criteria were used to appraise their methodology: Were the objectives of the study clearly defined? Were the inclusion and exclusion criteria clearly described? Was there a clear description of the interventions used? Were the characteristics of patients included in the study clearly described? Were patients randomly assigned to intervention groups, and if so was the method of randomisation described? Was the randomised assignment of patients to intervention groups concealed from both patients and staff administering the study until recruitment was complete? Was there an attempt made to blind both patients, and staff responsible for measuring outcomes of the intervention, to the interventions patients received? 12 METHODOLOGY

Newcastle have just announced that 23 year-old Haris Vuckic will be staying at Newcastle for another year with this contact being extended until the summer of 2017.
The club also announced Haris will be going on a season long loan to Wigan where he will be playing for former Newcastle defender Gary Caldwell.
Haris Vuckic on loan at Glasgow Rangers last season
This is what Newcastle put up on their web-site.
Slovenian forward Haris Vuckic has joined League One side Wigan Athletic on loan until the end of the season after signing a one-year contract extension with Newcastle United.
The 23 year-old has agreed terms to remain with the Magpies until the end of the 2016/17 season but will spend the 2015/16 campaign on loan at the DW Stadium, including any potential play-off fixtures for the Latics.
Vuckic joined Newcastle United from Slovenian PrvaLiga side NK Domzale in January 2009 and has made 20 senior appearances in all competitions during his time at St. James' Park, scoring once.
Capped once at full international level, he has previously spent time on loan with Cardiff City in 2012, Rotherham United during the 2013/14 campaign and Glasgow Rangers last season.
Haris has been given another chance to show what he can do at Wigan – and we wish him the best of luck and hope he has a great season with the Latics.
Comments welcome.

About Me-Always available for shoots with professional, experienced photographers.
I made this site to show a few pictures of my modeling and possibly be discovered by an agent. The first modeling experience I have is when I was around 8. My mother had my sister and I modeling for Cato's fashion. After that I didn't really think much of modeling until I was about 11 years old and it just came to me that I really would love to try it. I went to tryout with my best friend when I was about 14 at the Peabody hotel here in Little Rock for America's modeling and talent search. They had to choose certain women out of about 200 girls , and I was chosen, but before we went to the talent round my best friends mom was ready to leave, (they mentioned money). I really put modeling to the side after that due to school and friends, but it has always been in mind. I love several styles , but I am really interested in classy/sexy/natural photographs. More photos will be posted soon !!
My biggest goal I will achieve is to finish college, and the next to biggest goal is to travel! I would most like to travel around Europe and try all of the amazing foods, drink wine, shop, take tons of pictures, and see famous artists work.

Warmuz looking to settle
By Paul Higham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The former Lens man was signed by Arsene Wenger as cover for David Seaman and says that the number of players from across the English Channel will help him settle.
"The presence of the Frenchmen will favour my adapting to life in England," said Warmuz.
"And I am only two hours away from home, where my wife and children will remain for the rest of the season.
"Only the Channel separates Lens and London, so here I will soon feel at home."
Warmuz says that he is well aware of his role as Seaman's deputy and readily accepts that he is a back-up keeper, but also has an eye on the number one jersey due to the age of the England international.
"There is no ambiguity between us, I am his stand-in.
"Seaman is a living legend at Arsenal, but he is a 39-year-old and a recognised face does not constitute an assurance against all risks.
"I am not here to be the new David Seaman, frankly I would look ridiculous with a pony tail and a fine moustache!"
Meanwhile, Gunners youngster Olafur Skulason has returned to Icelandic side Fylkir on loan for the rest of the season.
The 19-year-old midfielder has failed to make an impression on Wenger's first team but is one for the future and has been loaned out to give him some much-needed football.

A few weeks ago, Ashley put together a great post that walked you through several options for resizing your images. It gave you some ideas for both online resizers and software resizers but it looks like a new one has emerged.
ResizR is an online image resizer/manipulator that you can use in just seconds. You can choose the width of the image but it will not let you adjust the height. It also lets you rotate the image but the coolest feature, in my opinion, is the ability to directly enter in a URL to an image and have it resize it. You'll no longer have to download the image to your computer and then upload it to have it resized. This will save me a little time and it will help keep my computer clean by not cluttering it with two different sizes of the same images.
If you really want to take advantage of the image resizing capabilities then you should download the Firefox extension that they offer on their homepage. It will let you click on an image and select the ResizR option which will redirect you to a page where you choose the options for the image.
The only downside about the service is that it only supports JPG files which is a little disappointing. I use GIF and PNG on a regular basis, so I am out of luck on those. Check it out, you may like it. I'm sure I'll be using this service every now and then.

The sudden change in good news versus bad news for Hernandez maybe should have been expected given the way things had gone for the young man over the last several years of his life.
A high school All-American tight end out of Bristol, Connecticut, Hernandez was the younger brother of UConn star quarterback D.J. Hernandez back in 2006 when his father Dennis died unexpectedly from an infection formed from routine hernia surgery.
Hernandez was said to be very close to his father and the untimely death triggered a fury inside the young man according to reports from his mother. Still, Hernandez would seemingly move on.
His stature as a high school football player had grown a great deal and as all of the tragic news of his father's death was happening Aaron was being recruited by big time programs around the country and his commitment to play football at UConn with his older brother was fading.
The University of Florida got in the picture with Hernandez and with Urban Meyer at the helm and the ability to offer a wide open offense and in a football conference known to push players into the NFL, Hernandez saw a chance to change things for the better.
Just months after his father's death, Hernandez jumped at the chance to play for the Gators and switch his allegiance from the home state Huskies.
We caught up with Hernandez on the day he committed to the Gators for this exclusive video back in April of 2016, a few months before his senior year of high school. As you can see, he seemed to be a soft hearted and happy young man with bright thoughts on the future ahead.
I remember catching back up with Hernandez at the US Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio and although I can't find the video anywhere, we had him interview two other Army Bowl participants Deonte Thompson and Major Wright. Neither were committed Gators at the time, but Hernandez was poking at them in fun to get them to join him at Florida. All three five-star prospects would sign with the Gators in February.
During his time at Florida there was never any unsavory news about him that was made public. He was suspended once for what was believed to be a violation of the school's drug policy, but that could never be confirmed. But that was about it.
However, there was an underlying current of worry with Hernandez.
As I remember going to practices and watching players leave, one thing I remember vividly during his second and third year on campus is him leaving every day side by side with assistant coach John Hevesy. The two had grown close in his time on campus, but there was evidently more to it. Hevesy was 'assigned' to watch over Hernandez because of his off-the-field actions that were known.
Still, the public (including myself) was pretty unaware of what was going on. Hernandez would conduct interviews and be the same kid you saw in the video above.
We know now that things weren't as they seemed with the young man.
Just days after signing a 40 million dollar contract with the New England Patriots of the NFL, Hernandez was charged and eventually convicted in the murder of Odin Lloyd for reasons none of us can comprehend.
On trial last week for the killing of two strangers, Hernandez was acquitted on Friday of the double murder and was seen with tears in his eyes and celebrating from a distance with his young daughter and wife who were in the courtroom.
A few days later and his life has ended. His lawyers and family are shocked and believe there was malice involved. We don't know the true answer to that just yet.
It was never easy for Hernandez. Life threw a lot of bumps in the road for the young man. He certainly deliberately headed for some of those holes, but tragedy seemed always near whether of his own doing or not.
It certainly wasn't the guy I saw when I interviewed him in the video below 11 years ago and it is a tragedy in its own of what could have been for a promising young career and life.

more Gerson columns
In getting from Egypt to the Promised Land of Israel, the Jewish People - led by Moses - wandered upon a long, circuitous route, for 40 years, through the Sinai Wilderness. There are quite a few humorous anecdotes about this. In particular, one woman explained, with a touch of feminine pride, that "it just goes to show what can happen when a man won't ask for directions."
Of course, in a more serious vein this season, with Passover about to be celebrated, we Jews reflect upon this journey out of Egyptian bondage and on to Israel. And, the operative text for this does say: "It came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines (the Mediterranean Coast), although that was near ... but he led them round about by the way of the wilderness." (Exodus 13:17-18).
Why, in fact, were the Israelites required to make this incredibly long trek to the Promised Land, rather than the very short route? The ancient Rabbinic sages answer that before living in freedom in Israel, the People needed the process of learning the Laws of Torah and being disciplined in them. Only after that would that life be possible.
What a truthful and accurate lesson there is here. Real lasting freedom for a society occurs only if it is undergirded by the discipline of following laws, that respect the rights of others. Our country is a good example of this Scriptural axiom. Our freedom would be anarchy without our people diligently following laws - regarding property, life taxation, driving, employment, really everything. But with this underpinning, we live without fear or exploitation; we can live out our ambitions; we are truly free.
It is interesting that in the world today, among the multitude of nations, there is actually only a handful of working democracies. The vast number are autocratic countries, including many Third World nations, where the people do not know liberty. Indeed, this is the reason for the awkward alignment of the United Nations which, despite some good work, has periodically promulgated blatantly anti-Western, anti-democratic resolutions, most notably the infamous "Zionist is Racism" resolution of 1975 (later rescinded). It is not that the people of these nations don't yearn to be free. And, at times, revolutions to that aim occur. But, without being trained in a system of equal law for all, that freedom is illusory.
The great Spanish medieval Jewish poet Judah Halevi put it so well: "The servants of God's moral laws, they alone are free." Freedom requires great discipline. That is why, some 3,000 years ago, the Israelites were required to go "the long way."
And that is what we, living in a blessed democratic society, must always remember.

Argentina: 10 injured in carnivorous fish attack
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — An attack by a school of carnivorous fish has injured at least 10 people bathing in an Argentine river in the last 48 hours.
The attack took place in the Parana River in Rosario some 300 kilometers (186 miles) northeast of Buenos Aires. Seventy people who were cooling off from high temperatures were also injured here in late December by the same piranha-like fish. They included seven children who lost parts of their fingers or toes.

The Turning PointEdit
Catwoman found Batman and relayed a message to him from Dr. Thompkins. Leslie told him Gary Sloan was in the hospital and wouldn't last long. Detective Sloan had asked for Batman. He asked him to take over a case for him - the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne. He'd promised their son he'd never stop looking for their killer; he believed in Wayne's innocence, which helped Batman recover part of himself. He also tells Batman that he doesn't believe Bruce Wayne murdered Vesper Fairchild and deserves a fair hearing. Out of respect for the man, who was an early inspiration to him, Batman takes on both cases, and contacts Oracle, calling himself Bruce rather than Batman.

So our company has been using Symantec BackupExec since the dawn of time, and we are looking into something more current, faster recovery times.
I am playing around with both Acronis for Exchange, and AppAsure and cant decide which one I like better for both Mailbox recovery items, and IS recovery.
Before I make my purchase, do anyone of you have first hand experience with either of these?
Thanks for your input, any will be greatly appreciated.
2 Replies
Mar 5, 2012 at 11:13 UTC
We switched from BackupExec to AppAssure about 1.5 years ago. The AppAssure product is excellent. We do 15 minute incrementals every day, save hourly backups for the next 2 days, save daily backups for a month, save monthly backups for a year, and then we'll keep the yearly backups for 3 years.
Because of the way AppAssure handles compression, deduplication, and snapshots we can save all of these "Full" snapshots and still use less disk space then BackupExec was using for only two weeks of daily full backups.
Fortunately I haven't had to recover an entire Exchange Information Store, but individual item recovery has been a snap.
You can setup live replication to either a physical or virtual servers, then you don't have to worry about waiting for an entire IS recovery if something bad happens. Just make your recovery server "live" and your Exchange is up and running again.
Mar 5, 2012 at 11:54 UTC
The easiest way to improve backup and restore speed is faster backup devices. It sounds like you need to look into a second exchange mailbox server, or perhaps a mail archiver.
Another step up might be backing Exchange up to disk, which should greatly increase restore speeds.
Another option would be to have a local SAN type solution with redundant hardware and disks, and running exchange on a VM which could easily be moved over to another machine if it crapped out.
Honestly, I'm amazed at the speed which BackupExec and our LTO4 drives can recover our mailstore (~140GB) and I don't even have the software on a 64 bit machine which would allow me to install Exchange Admin Tools and do a restore of a single mailbox without all the mucking about with a recovery storage group. I think the next step up in speed for us will come when we move to LTO5 which also has a nice speed gain over LTO4. (Granted though, not as nice as when stepping up frmo LTO3 to 4)
