Topic: Problematic Ascites/Drain!
Hi Everyone,
My mom developed ascites in the last few weeks which resulted in two paracentesis procedures. That didn't really alleviate my mom and finally a drain was placed in her abdomen last Wednesday to help make her more comfortable.
This all sounded great until the procedure was completed, now my mom can't really do anything and the water never seems to go down enough (or maybe it accumulates way too fast). She says that she can feel the catheter sometimes and that it's painful - also, she doesn't seem to be getting enough releif even after the procedure (it might have to do with the limit set in terms of how much fluid the nurses can remove twice a week; 1.5L)
Nevertheless, has anyone had experience with a drain for ascites? Has it helped you and did it take a very long time to heal?
I am just so, so, so nervous and upset because she can't sit properly and always has to lay down. She said that she feels okay but that the drain and the fluid are ruining her ability to do anything. We will be reaching out to the doctor of course but I wanted to get first-hand experiences because those always differ from the textbook answers we receieve.
Just as an FYI - my mom did amazing on her first line of treatment gem/cis and she is now on xeloda after the cancer came back with avengence (satellite tumours, one large tumour, lymph node involvement etc)
Your feedback would be great.
Many thanks,

Our Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Main Article provides a comprehensive look at the who, what, when and how of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)
Medical Definition of Hereditary angioedema
Hereditary angioedema: A genetic form of angioedema. (Angioedema is also referred to as Quinke's disease.) Persons with it are born lacking an inhibitor protein (called C1 esterase inhibitor) that normally prevents activation of a cascade of proteins leading to the swelling of angioedema. Patients can develop recurrent attacks of swollen tissues, pain in the abdomen, and swelling of the voice box (larynx) which can compromise breathing. The diagnosis is suspected with a history of recurrent angioedema. It is confirmed by finding abnormally low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor in the blood. Treatment options include antihistamines and male steroids (androgens) that can also prevent the recurrent attacks. Also called hereditary angioneurotic edema.

SWINDON jockey Wayne Hutchinson missed out on glory at the Grand National on Saturday but did still manage to claim his second winner of the Aintree festival earlier in the day.
Hutchinson was riding Alan King's Walkon in the big race in Liverpool but, despite at one stage being part of the leading group, the jockey was forced to pull the horse up before the finish.
Prior to the National the Swindon man rode King's Balder Success to victory in the Doom Bar Maghull Novices Chase earlier in the afternoon, adding to the Alder Hey Children's Charity Handicap Hurdle he won with Clondaw Kaempfer on Friday.
But Hutchinson couldn't continue his form into the feature race of the festival and, while he was pleased with the run he was able to give Walkon, he revealed he pulled his mount up in the horse's best interest.
"He didn't see the trip out, but he gave me a great spin for a circuit and a half," he said.
"He was a joy to ride and jumped from fence to fence, but I pulled up before the second-last to look after him."
Pineau De Re, a 25/1 shot trained by Dr Richard Newland and ridden by Leighton Aspell, won the big race of the day ahead of Balthazhar King and Double Seven.
Eighteen of the 40-strong field managed to finish the race in which all jockeys and horses returned safely.
Trainer King is now considering a trip to the Punchestown Festival for Balder Succes following his Aintree triumph.
Winner of the Kingmaker Novices' Chase at Warwick and the Pendil Novices' Chase at Kempton, Balder Succes bypassed last month's showpiece meeting at Prestbury Park to ensure he was primed for his trip to Liverpool.
With Next Sensation predictably setting a strong gallop from the outset, Balder Succes was waited with in the hands of Hutchinson before looming up ominously in the straight.
The 7/2 chance moved stylishly to the lead on the run to the final fence and a spring-heeled leap sealed victory, beating Simply Ned by four lengths.
King said: "He was good today.
"He needed one at the last and got it, his jumping was great all the way round.
"It's paid off not going to Cheltenham with him, he was fresh and well - I'm delighted.
"He could go Punchestown. He gets two and a half miles, but I think he's better over two.
"Fences have made a man of him and if he does go anywhere else (before the end of the season) it will be Punchestown."

Is this article only for things that we know about? like the police cars, bus shelters etc. Or is it just for anything that doesn't appear in the final game? I was just wondering, because I've looked through GTA III's '.gxt' files and found some pretty interesting lines of text, which don't appear in the final version of the game - I don't know if they would be worth adding or not... Hardrock182 03:08, 28 February 2009 (UTC).
- This article is about anything that was'nt added in the final version of a GTA game and it would be usefull if you put those lines in the article.-User:BloodyGTA
- Okay, thanks - I'll add the info just now. - Hardrock182 03:13, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- But please add references. If the reference is within the file, name the file or its entry in the file. Video links and photo links are welcomed.--spaceeinstein 05:15, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

GTA 3 was more changed than GTA SA, because of how much different Liberty City was going to be, and deleted missions
Yes, but the 9/11 attack change a lot of things in GTA III. GTAJJJ 19:46, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
I suggest this page (which is overloaded with information) being split into smaller pages, such as "Beta Characters", "Beta Places", etc. This page also shares the exact same information than "Beta Weapons", "Beta Vehicles" and "Deleted Missions".--Loadingue 15:23, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
- We could also remove the "vehicle", "missions" section and stuffs only the beta feature remain. I mean, there's already a page of betas.--Blaff 60 13:54, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

It says that tommy was going to wear a blue hawaiian shirt that's not a beta that got changed, tommy does and has always worn a blue hawaiian shirt.Andrew nicholson 16:41, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
In the beta, the hawaiian shirt was dark blue, not in the final version where it's light blue.GTAJJJ 16:59, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
I've noticed it says on the page that the pump shotgun was cut. This isn't true. Certainly not for the PC version, anyway. I remember there was one mission where you had to kill some drug dealers on motorbikes. One of those had a pump shotgun, and I think you might have been able to buy it from one of the ammunation stores as well. Eddiehimself (talk) 13:50, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Bikes in GTA3
were bikes a beta release in Grand Theft Auto 3?
if so why were they removed? or were they removed because of the 9/11 attacks? -- PK2PK2 00:44, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
No, as far as we know, bikes were likely not in the GTA III beta. It's possible they might have thought of the idea, but then decided to wait to include them in the next game, as I doubt 9/11 would have anything to do with the removal of motorcycles or bikes.Claude94 15:00, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
Bikes weren't include in the game because R* didn't know how programing bike handling, they learn it after the realase of the game ( i read it in an interview) GTAJJJ 13:22, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
GTA San Andreas Beta Map'
I was looking for a gtasa Hidden Interiors Universe map.. and i stumbled upon one the had redzones where if you entered u fell back to "earth"(the map only shows Los Santos and the surrounding country side). Zhese redzones appeared to be bodies of water of gta sa, but off centered. The redzones covered all all viewable bodies of water in the map except the river seperating Blueberry and Montgomery from Dillmore and Palomino Creek. Hpwever the map didd apear to show the outline of the boat on the docks next toe Easter Bay Airport. Could these zones in the hidden interiors universe be the outline of a beta San andreas?

GTA III Liberty City Terrorist B.S.
Looking at this edit history recently, I saw about six edits on the Liberty City Terrorist. Let me explain this: there are NO such deleted gang as the Liberty City Terrorist. I even Q.A.ed about it via email to Rockstar Games and they told me that there are no deleted gang as this. The only deleted gang were the Sorvinos, which later evolved to the Leones. This is the Q.A. form I copied from my email: ````Tony_4-2-8-1-9-9-8
"I'm a fan of GTA lll and I want to ask about a speculated rumor about a gang know as the Liberty City Terroist. Is this a deleted gang of the 9/11 attacks or what?"
Rockstar Games Support: Q.A.
Thank you for submitting this question about the Grand Theft Auto lll gangs. There is no gang called the Liberty City Terrorist. We get alot of questions regarding the cuts of Grand Theft Auto lll due to the 9/11 attacks and some are speculated. For the ones that concern the 9/11 attack reasoning, we give the real reason about the cut and the ones that are speculated, we tell them that this is made-up by fans, possibly. The only deleted gang in Grand Theft Auto lll is The Sorvinos which were later renamed as the Leone. I hope this is the reasonable answer to you. Thank You and have a nice day!

No North Point Mall (Dis-Proven)
The North Point Mall didn't exist in the beta version, there were only some buildings there. Here are screenshots.---------
That is wrong, the white buildings is actually the VL-LOD (Very Low - Level of Detail) model of the Mall.
(That GIF Below animates how that is just the LOD and then loads the mall perfectly over the top of it.

8-Ball's Bomb Shop in GTA SA
It had its own icon on the map in the beta, as seen here [1] VEO15 (talk) 03:31, August 15, 2013 (UTC)
i am guessing it has on files but rockstar was lazy to add icon or they forgot it to add on final version
and i am guessing that icon still on files
did Some-one found more beta stuff
RE: 8-Ball's Bomb Shop in GTA SA
That's a modification mate, it adds extra stuff to the game and yes some of them are restorded from the beta but that icon is made by the mod's creator but it's not re-created he just added it to mark the bomb shops. (Rentedhitmanben (talk) 18:13, October 18, 2013 (UTC))
my mistake
Higgins/Magnum Helitours
In the section "Others" in this parent section, it says:
- Higgins Helitours was called Magnum Helitours. There is a calander in Brucie Kibutz garage with the Magnum Helitours logo on it. (This can be seen in multiplayer as the garage is open.)
However, when I checked it in normal gameplay, (by jamming the door open by parking a requested car halfway through the door, I went to check the calendar in the office (small room just to the left of the garage entrance). However, it does not seem to be true. Evidence to the right.

TAC-700 in TLAD
This shotgun does exist in TLAD but not as an adittional weapon but a replacement for the TAC-700 in the main game. It's not a major replacement the only thing that's different is it has a new stock and a new grip as the GTA IV variant had its grip in the stock.

So, it's almost been three months since GTA V released, and there's still no section on this article for its beta things. Was this page that badly vandalized that it needs to be locked permanently? I mean, seriously, it's been like this for months now.
We need a GTA V section, but that's hard to do considering that the page is locked, even for registered users. Does it have to be? Ryder 2012 (talk) 17:00, December 14, 2013 (UTC)

- "The player was meant to buy Drugs from Smoke on the Water but was removed for unknown reason." No, if that mentioned in the gameplay trailer, it's not removed. IT'S STILL in the game (sometimes franklin buys drugs when you switch him) Hamodey1 (talk) 20:25, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
"Beta Releases"?
I think the name of this page should be changed to Beta Elements or Beta Content, instead of Beta Releases. Beta Releases makes it sound like this page has links or something like that to beta content, which it does not.

GTA 3 Beta soundtrack is B.S
Theres no proof GTA 3 was going to have a AC/DC song. That song was only shown in a video about a beta mod. There's also no proof those GTA 2 songs were going to be in the game, people think that just because it was put in a freaking beta mod.

PHILADELPHIA - The University of Pennsylvania's Head Coach of men's lacrosse, Mike Murphy, has announced the hiring of Ryan Klipstein as an assistant coach with the program. He joins Judd Lattimore as an assistant coach on Coach Murphy's staff.
Klipstein comes to Penn from Williams College, where he was the Ephs' offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator for 2011-12.
"We are very excited to have Coach Klipstein join our staff," said Murphy, who enters his fourth season at the helm in 2013. "His passion for the sport and the coaching profession will be a great addition to Penn Lacrosse.His knowledge for the game and energy in recruiting will make immediate contributions.We enthusiastically welcome Ryan to the Penn Lacrosse family."
"Considering the long-standing tradition of the program and the proven career of Coach Murphy, I am honored to join the Penn lacrosse family," said Klipstein. "Penn clearly has all of the tools to consistently compete for the national championship. The displayed excellence within the classroom, on the athletic field, and the high standards placed on personal character, make Penn an exception community."
Klipstein played his college lacrosse at Bucknell University. A midfielder and attackman, he was a senior captain for the Bison in 2011 when they went 14-3 overall and lost to eventual champion Virginia in the NCAA Championship first round. Klipstein was the team's leading scorer in all three categories that season, with 32 goals and 21 assists for 53 points, and earned second-team All-Patriot League as well as a Patriot League All-Tournament selection. At the end of the season, he was chosen to play in the USILA North/South All-Star Game during the NCAA's Championship Weekend, and Bucknell was ranked seventh in the final USILA national poll.
A native of Califon, N.J., Klipstein was a first-team All-Patriot League selection as a junior, after he scored 34 goals and dished off seven assists. He also tied a program record that season for goals in a game, scoring eight vs. Lafayette. For his career, Klipstein tallied 118 points. He graduated with a BA as a double major in education and economics.

MARK Cooper branded Swindon Town's performance in their 1-1 draw with Crewe Alexandra as "one of the best" of their season so far.
Vadaine Oliver's wonder-striker with 14 minutes remaining earned Alex a point at Gresty Road after Town dominated much of the match and went ahead through Ryan Harley's thunderbolt three minutes after half-time.
In his post-match interviews, Cooper cut a frustrated figure, lamenting his team's profligacy up front, where Michael Smith and Nathan Thompson both squandered good chances.
"It's very, very frustrating. I thought it was maybe one of our best performances. I thought we totally dominated the game for 80 minutes and we gave them a little bit of a lift and they finished a little bit stronger, but the game should have been dead," he said.
"It should have been over. You can't have that much play in and around the final third and still be only winning 1-0. That's something we had to get right but the forward players are still young lads and they're still learning their trade."
Compared to Tuesday night's lethargic display in the draw with Crawley Town, this was a reinvigorated Swindon display.
The diamond midfield quartet of Harley, Massimo Luongo, Yaser Kasim and Louis Thompson controlled long spells of the game. Crewe were mostly left chasing shadows, but Town still struggled to find a killer touch in front of goal.
The Robins were slightly fortunate not to have ended up losing the tie, as Chuks Aneke missed a first-half penalty for Alex. Though Cooper rightly chose to focus on the positives.
"The difference was the possession was there on Tuesday but not much there in the final third," he said.
"I thought our movement and our passing was more incisive today. We got runners in behind and you're not talking about half chances – you're talking about balls being rolled across the six-yard box for a tap-in and people missing it, people going through one on one.
"The law of averages says it can't happen but that's football and that's why it's such an interesting game.
"We've got Michael Smith and Jacob Murphy that are young lads and they have to learn if they get that many chances and that much possession in the final third; they have to make it count."
Of Oliver's equaliser for Crewe, Cooper said: "I think the goalie should save it. I think it's straight at him from 30 yards and it's gone over his head. I'd be disappointed with our goalie for letting that in. He's done really well today, Ty (Belford), but I felt he should have saved the goal."

Paxton takes first loss as Mariners fall in Philly
Throwing error leads to three unearned runs in lefty's shortest start
PHILADELPHIA -- There haven't been a lot of stubbed toes by the Mariners this season. Not many clunker games where a lot of things just don't seem to go right.
But that didn't take any of the sting away from a 4-3 loss to the Phillies on Wednesday when Seattle gave up three unearned runs following a costly throwing error by James Paxton, allowed one run to score on a passed ball, blew a suicide-squeeze attempt that took the wind out of a big inning and stranded 10 baserunners on a day they racked up 12 hits.
"It still hurts," said Logan Morrison, who went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and made a couple of nice catches out in right field at Citizens Bank Park. "We needed this game, just like we need every game. We get an off-day to forget about it and go out and get Boston. But when the opportunity is there, you have to take advantage of it, and we didn't do that today."
The loss dropped Seattle to 68-58 and a full game back of the Tigers in the race for the American League's second Wild Card spot after Detroit topped the Rays, 6-0, Wednesday night at Tampa Bay. The Mariners have still won 13 of their last 19 and are 3-3 on their current road trip, which resumes Friday at Fenway Park after a travel day.
But it's coming to the point in late August where every game looms large. Thus the Mariners were kicking themselves for booting a game and losing a series to the 56-71 Phillies.
"We know where we're at in the race," Morrison said. "Good teams don't do that. Playoff teams don't do that. We have to come out and be better. And we have been. And we will."
For his part, manager Lloyd McClendon wasn't ready to put too much weight on one poorly played game in a stretch where the Mariners have put themselves in position to contend for their first postseason berth since 2001.
"To be honest, we've been pretty darn good," McClendon said. "That's the first one we've had all year like that where a lot of things just didn't go right. Knock on wood, we'll be OK."
Paxton endured the first loss of his career as he lasted just four innings, allowing four runs on seven hits with two walks and a wild pitch in a rough outing that required 88 pitches. Three of the rookie left-hander's runs were unearned, but only because of his own two-base throwing error in a three-run third after he scrambled to fetch a hard line drive that caromed off his foot and then fired over the head of first baseman Kendrys Morales.
"They were finding holes and I probably could have executed pitches a little better," Paxton said. "I need to battle and I did. It came down to me having to make that throw to first base. That cost us. That can't happen."
The 25-year-old Canadian was making his 10th career start over the past two years, but just his fourth since coming off the 60-day disabled list following early-season shoulder problems. Paxton is now 3-1 with a 2.20 ERA in six starts this season, and 6-1 with a 1.91 ERA in his brief big league tenure.
Zach Duke is the only Major League pitcher to debut as a starter since 1990 with a lower ERA in his first 10 outings, as he posted a 1.81 mark in that span for the Pirates in 2005.
Paxton's error put runners on second and third, and both crossed the plate, first on a passed ball and then an infield groundout by Ben Revere to tie the game at 3 before Chase Utley blooped an RBI single to right to give Philly the lead.
McClendon replaced Paxton the following inning, with the four frames the shortest start of his young career.
"I thought he was really making some pretty good pitches, they just put some pretty good at-bats on him and got that pitch count up," McClendon said. "But things got away from him in the one inning where he threw the ball away and then crossed the catcher up. That cost us a couple runs. But those things happen. That's part of the growing pains."
The passed ball came when Paxton said he didn't see the correct number of fingers catcher Jesus Sucre put down. But it was that kind of game for the Mariners, who seemingly had Cole Hamels on the ropes as well, but couldn't quite deliver the knockout blow as the veteran got through five innings and held on for the win despite allowing nine hits with a walk and two wild pitches of his own.
Morales ripped a solo shot to dead center leading off the second to give Seattle a 1-0 lead. It was the third homer for Morales in his last seven games after he'd hit just one in his first 55 contests with the Twins and Mariners.
After his belated start, Morales appears to be heating up, as he went 2-for-4 with a walk and has batted .360 (9-for-25) over his past seven games to raise his season average to .229.
"He's starting to come around," McClendon said. "That's big for us."
The Mariners added two more runs in an adventurous fourth inning to take a 3-1 lead. After a Kyle Seager walk and Chris Denorfia single, Morrison drove in a run with a double to left-center. With runners on second and third, Denorfia broke for home on a suicide squeeze, but Sucre missed the sign and didn't attempt the bunt, leaving Denorfia caught in a rundown for the first out of the inning.
Sucre then followed with a single to right and Morrison wound up scoring from third on a wild pitch, but that turned out to be Seattle's final run of the game.

Authentic Relating Games Night LA Feb 10th $15 at the door. RSVP here to register. (please note ticket details below)
Authentic Los Angeles
Sunday, February 10, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 8:45 PM (PST)
Event Details
In the spirit of Valentine's week, we will be exploring the theme of LOVE, weaving in that theme with some tweaks to our games and perhaps some new ones:-)
"Even if you've known someone for years,
this is an opportunity to share and be seen in new ways..."
Have your ever had a conversation with someone where you found yourself hanging on every word? Your heart is wide open, your eyes filled with tears, and the goofiest smile you've ever pulled is on your face?
Do you crave a space where you can talk about something OTHER than "what do you do" or "where did you go to school" and actually connect with people?
Join a growing L.A. community at Authentic Relating Game Nights, a space where you can discover how much more fun and richer it is to BE YOURSELF.
(Check out our growing facebook group: Authentic Los Angeles)
ALL are welcome. Bring a friend, bring your partner or come solo! These are NOT singles/dating events.
Authentic Relating Game Nights LA are inspired by the Game Nights held in San Francisco by AuthenticWorld. Sometimes loud, sometimes intensely quiet, sometimes risky. Always fun and revealing. We are tapping AuthenticWorld for fun and engaging games that we can play ourselves.
What kinds of games are these?
- By 'games' we mean fun, highly interactive partner and group exercises that demonstrate and explore authentic relating, getting to know yourself better while at the same time learning to see and appreciate more about everyone you connect with.
- By 'authentic' we mean that there is no cookie-cutter mold for how you "should" be or what relating "should look like".
- They are safe places for taking risks, practicing the art of relating with others, playing a little more outside our comfort zones and discovering more about ourselves than we might in our everyday lives.
- They're also a chance to have fun and party in a conscious way with great people, going beyond small talk and expected (and sometimes boring) social norms.
- Things to expect: laughter, relief, anxiety/excitement (and the wisdom to know the difference), reverence, play and connection, new friends, and new possibilities for how you engage the world.
- Anyone who wants more fun, richer connections with people. It doesn't matter if you're in a relationship, single, old, young, short or tall. (Again, these are NOT singles/dating events.)
- You want the opportunity to experience an open-hearted space where people get to "cut through the superficial" and be truly themselves without apology for an evening.
- You enjoy exciting, fun and very juicy social evenings with lots of laughs, plenty of insights, and sometimes sparks flying!
- You are looking for a real, authentic connection with new people and are prepared to take a risk to try something NEW.
"In order for connection to happen,
we have to allow ourselves to be seen. Really seen."

Paralysed Blackburn schoolboy hopes to compete in 2016 Paralympics
1:30pm Thursday 13th December 2012
By Jessica Cree
1:30pm Thursday 13th December 2012
By Jessica Cree
A TEENAGER, paralysed in a rugby tackle, has gone back to school just 10 months after his 'life changing' accident – and is hoping to train for the Paralympics.
George Claxton, who has just turned 16, was playing for Blackburn U15s when he committed to a tackle and was flipped over by the momentum of his body crashing into his opponent.
He had to undergo a major operation and was left wheelchair-bound.
But the inspirational St Wilfrid's CoE High School pupil, who lives in Sandringham Close, headed back to school to study for his GCSEs last week – and it is hoped he won't even have to redo the year.
The year 11 pupil's dad Andrew said: "It was the next goal for George to get back to school.
"It was a long time coming and it kept getting put back a little bit, but it was like Christmas for him, he was so excited.
"He has been away from all of his friends for so long and he has got quite a lot of catching up to do."
George is studying English, maths, science and sports BTEC and is hoping to get into engineering when he leaves school. He is still playing sport and is even hoping to compete at the Rio de Janiero 2016 Olympics in wheelchair rugby. Mr Claxton said: "He still wants to have a go.
"He has been setting himself goals, the first was to go back to school and he has just got his driving licence so he is going to go looking for a car. It is a little bit worrying, I must admit, but he is ambitious."
Renovations are being done to their home and a lift is being installed so George can go upstairs. They are hoping the adaptations will be finished by Christmas, when family from Sheffield will visit.

MONTROSE - Investigators from the Glendale Police Department continued to search Wednesday for Megan DiPiazza, the 33-year-old mother who went missing from Montrose home Sunday night.
DiPiazza left her home without her purse Sunday night; she hasn't been seen since, officials said.
By Wednesday, a battery of investigators from the Glendale Police Department had been dispatched across the region to search for the woman who is thought to still be alive, officials said.
According to several news sources, DiPiazza left a goodbye note to her family.
Her disappearance coincides with the discovery of a body inside a car at the San Gabriel Dam on Wednesday.
However, authorities confirmed that the body they found was not DiPiazza.

At the end of week 10, all Hall County teams have played nine games and had a bye week. Region 8-AAA teams Gainesville and Johnson have play-in games, with Gainesville at White County for the region title and the top seed in the Class AAA playoffs. Johnson plays Stephens County and if the Knights win, they become a No. 4 seed.
I'd really like to hear from the fans as to where they stand on this region play-in format for high school football in Region 8-AAA and 8-AA now that we're almost done with the regular season. Personally, I still can't decide where I come down on the issue.
I watched Johnson play Oconee County last Friday night and I want to share with you some of my observations. I have known for a number of years, that the Knights had fewer players on their squad than their opponents.
Speaking with Lumpkin County's B.J. Dorsey last Tuesday afternoon outside the school's football field house, it was apparent how deep it hurt to deliver the news to his teammates and coaches.
Say this for the Georgia High School Associaton: at least it realizes the limitations of its own powers. It can't fix everything and it knows it.
Flowery Branch High and Gainesville High continue to perform at a championship level, the only loss between them was the Red Elephants' loss to Class AA's then top-ranked Buford in the first game of the season. Gainesville is significantly better than they were then as their freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson shows improvement each week.
With all the great accomplishments in Flowery Branch High's relatively short history playing football, this season may end up taking the cake. This year, the Falcons are off to their first 7-0 start in school history, despite having a new signal caller after the last of the remarkably-talented Shaws graduated, a new running back after last year's star running back moved to North Hall, and moving up a classification in competition.
It's do-or-die time for Gainesville and North Hall.

1The woman who received a kidney from her husband's lover
During this time, Avcı's husband, Mehmet Avcı, met another woman, Ayşe İmdat. The husband moved İmdat into his mother's home, disguising her as the babysitter for the couple's son. When Meliha Avcı learned about her husband's adultery, she pleaded that he and İmdat marry after she died.
After the three came from the Central Anatolian province of Nevşehir to Istanbul for surgery, İmdat insisted that she donate a kidney to save Avcı. "We shared a husband, and now we shared a kidney," said the patient. İmdat promised to continue taking care of Meliha Avcı after the surgery. (Source | Via)
2The man who donated an organ to his brother on the condition he stop cheering for arch-rival team
Paul, who had the transplant to fight lymphatic leukemia, was philosophical about the switch between the fiercely competitive teams. 'I was really lucky that Martin's cells matched,' said Paul. 'But he had to be a Reds supporter, didn't he?' (Source)
3The girl who had her hand attached to her leg for three months
4The man who had to cut off his transplanted penis because his wife didn't like it
Doctors spent 15 hours attaching a 10-centimetre penis to the 44-year-old man after the parents of a brain-dead man half his age agreed to donate their son's organ. After 10 days, tests revealed the organ had a good blood supply and the man was able to urinate normally.
Although the operation was a surgical success, surgeons said they had to remove the penis two weeks later. "Because of a severe psychological problem of the recipient and his wife, the transplanted penis regretfully had to be cut off," Dr Hu said. An examination of the organ showed no signs of it being rejected by the body, he said.
NOTE: Doctors have previously succeeded in reuniting men with their sexual organs after traumatic accidents or attacks, but this operation was the first in which a donor penis had successfully been attached to another man. (Source)
5The man donated a kidney to his favorite cashier
This story sure takes customer loyalty to a new level. (Source | Via)
6The patient who survived after receiving fecal implant from husband
7Daughter set to give birth from her own mother's womb after world's first transplant
The surgery, which is scheduled in the spring of 2012, is not the first attempt to transplant a uterus. Another attempt in 2000 by Saudi doctors was initially successful, but the transplanted uterus was removed four months later due to complications. The surgery is apparently ridiculously complicated and involves connecting tiny blood vessels from the ovaries to the transplanted uterus. Even if the surgery is successful, doctors are unsure whether the transplanted uterus would be able to stretch and deliver enough blood to sustain life. (Source)
8The husband asked his cheating wife for his kidney back after divorce
The heartbroken doctor requested the one-time love of his life to pay $1.5 million for the organ he donated. He insisted his cash-for-kidney claim was a direct result of his wife's behavior. (Source)
9The teenager whose blood type changed after having a transplant
After a virus destroyed her liver, doctors gave her just 48 hours to live when a donated liver became available. With only hours to spare, Demi-Lee had a 10-hour operation and was started on a cocktail of immuno-suppressant drugs, the standard fare for transplant patients to ensure their bodies do not reject the donated organ. Nine months later, when her condition worsened and she was readmitted, doctors were shocked to find that her blood type had changed. The head of hematology, Julie Curtin, said she was stunned when she realized Demi-Lee was now O-positive, rather than O-negative. (Source | Via)
10The teenager girl who already has had three hearts
The teenager, from Belchford in Lincolnshire, had her second heart transplant after her 15th birthday. Debbie said her experience had inspired her to work towards becoming a pediatric nurse. (Source)

The holiday season has become far more enjoyable for me over the past few years as more retailers have transformed Web sites into viable shopping destinations. I far prefer cozying up to my computer with a cup of coffee in hand in search of deals on Cyber Monday than risking bodily and psychological harm challenging salivating, sleep-deprived bargain hunters at Wal-Mart at 5 a.m. on Black Friday.
Yes, the information technology has made the shopping experience -- both online and at the mall -- more convenient and all-around enjoyable. Technological innovations have also made the experience greener, saving retailers (and customers) on paper, ink, fuel, packing materials, and such.
[ In the near future, will retailers report the carbon footprint of each item they sell? | Ordering music this holiday season? Downloading tunes isn't always the greenest option. ]
There's still plenty of room for improvement, though. Thus, I'd like to share three of my holiday wishes with the retailers of the world to leverage IT to make the shopping experience greener. These types of changes should translate to cost savings, a reduced carbon footprint, and better customer service for companies. Green has a pleasant tendency to be the gift that keeps on giving.
Stop the flood of catalogs
A friend of mine (whom I'll call Rebecca because she's requested anonymity) lamented on Facebook the other day that she's repeatedly contacted department store chain Macy's over a year ago, via telephone and e-mail, with a simple request: Stop mailing her catalogs. Yet those glossy, full-color mailings keep coming. "I stopped trying about a year ago. I contacted them fourteen times. Literally, fourteen times. And I could never get them to stop. I hate them," Rebecca posted.
I thought to myself, Well, surely this company's Web site has an easy-to-find area where you can quickly opt out of receiving marketing materials. After all, what kind of company would want to waste money on printing and mailing out excess glossy, full-color materials that serve no purpose than to stoke flames of loathing in the hearts of would-be customers?
I did manage find a section of the Macy's Web site trumpeting the company's commitment to all things green (which includes "reducing the amount of paper we use by at least 20 percent by 2010"). However, insofar as finding guidance on how to coerce the company to cease and desist sending unwanted snail mail, I was only able to find a blurb buried deep in the customer service section of the site, hidden at the end of this path: Customer Service > Getting Started > Safe Shopping > Privacy Policy.
The blurb provides a mailing address for sending opt-out requests and asks that, when writing, you include your name, address, and (again, this is in the Privacy section of the Web site) your credit card account number. There's also a toll-free number to call for those customers who would prefer not wasting their own time and money on paper, printing, and postage in an effort, ultimately, to save the company from wasting its time and money on paper, printing, and postage. For whatever reason, opting out via e-mail or some other electronic means just wasn't an option.
The capper here: Rebecca called the number and was told by the customer service rep that she could only be removed if she had an account with Macy's. "He suggested that I call a local store directly to get removed from the list, even though we all know that the local stores are not the ones who send out the catalogs," Rebecca complained after her 15th failed effort. "I hate them!"
Thus, my first holiday wish from retailers is to please, please make it easier to opt out of receiving your printed marketing materials, ideally through your Web site or via e-mail. In the meantime, spruce up your online catalogs (and/or make your print catalog available as a PDF), promote them, and incentivize customers to use them, the way credit card companies push customers to receive statements via e-mail. Doing so will spare some trees and reduce your carbon footprint with fewer mailings, while saving you some cash and reducing the amount of publicly aired ill will from potentially former customers.
Spare me my receipt
Of the dozens of receipts I receive each week, I end up needing 5 percent in the long run -- and that might be a generous estimate. Yet I'm almost always given a receipt for anything I purchase, be it a television, a week's worth of groceries, or a strawberry scone and a small coffee.
There's been a gradual move away from mechanically providing customers with physically documented proof that they've engaged in a transaction. Some customer service reps will ask you whether you want a receipt, though if you say no, they just end up balling up the strip of paper their printer spews out and tossing it in the garbage for you. OK, that saves me about a calorie's worth of physical exertion, but it still represents wasted resources for the company, which can really add up over time.
Some businesses have taken it a step further, letting you opt out of having a receipt printed. My bank's ATMs, for example, ask me if I want a printed receipt after a transaction, which I generally don't since I can access that information online. My preferred gas station also asks if I need a receipt, which I don't, because (A) I've never had to return gas, and (B) the purchase will show up on my credit card statement, again which I can access online. Though environmentally friendlier (which translates to less expensive), it's not necessarily a perfect approach in cases you don't think you'll need a receipt but later discover you do (such as when getting a reimbursement from work).
The best approach I've seen, though, is what amounts to digital receipts. Apple Stores, for example, give you the option of having a receipt sent to your e-mail, rather than handing you one on ink-stained processed tree pulp. Thus, the customer has easy-to-find proof of purchase archived in his or her e-mail while -- yes, I'm beating the sustainability drum -- the company saves cash and resources.
A variant here -- another example of technology rendering printed receipts obsolete -- is how some retailers track gift purchases. My wife and I had to return some items we'd received for our recent wedding, but we didn't have receipts. Yet two of the retailers were able to confirm that our items had come from their respective stores (and that one item had not) by checking their digital records. No slips of paper were necessary, and all parties ended up satisfied.
Thus, my second holiday wish to retailers: Retire paper receipts wherever possible, replacing them with more convenient, eco-friendly, inexpensive digital receipts. Paper receipts shouldn't be retired entirely, but at least give us the choice as to whether we need to clutter our pockets, glove compartments, and recycling bins with reminders of last week's burrito or dry cleaning.
Offer greener shipping
My wife and I have a couple of cats, and for the sake of convenience, we order certain supplies in bulk online from Amazon. My thinking has been, "If I buy several cases of canned food at once, it will be more convenient, less expensive, and we'll save on shipping." I'd think the latter point would benefit the retailer as well.
After making my most recent order online, I was surprised to receive just half of the batch, with an invoice explaining that only a portion had been available, so it had been shipped early as a courtesy, at no charge. The rest came a day or two later.
I give Amazon props for its attempt at good customer service, for which one of the mantras is probably "Faster is always better," words you might find printed on a poster beneath an inspirational photograph of a lithe cheetah charging through the African plains after an adolescent antelope.
Thing is, I didn't ask for express delivery. I accepted the free, standard shipping with the understanding -- actually, the expectation -- that everything would ship at once, even if it meant waiting a little more time. Had there been an option on the Web site where I could insist that all the items ship at once -- so long as they'd arrive within, say, two weeks -- I'd have checked it. On the back end, Amazon's supply-chain and order processing systems could have taken that into account and handled my shipment accordingly. In turn, that would have saved Amazon on extra packaging and shipping, which translates to more money for the company, not to mention a smaller carbon footprint.
Thus, my third holiday wish for retailers: Give customers more eco-friendly shipping options, ideally based on real-time supply-chain data that indicates when an order will arrive in its entirety, and pass along the cost savings you enjoy from using one box instead of two or three or whatever. This service needn't come at the cost of shoddy customer service, of course. If an order ends up being delayed because one or more items aren't available, you can notify the customer via e-mail to see how to progress.

Did you know?
South Africa's Test cricket skipper, Graeme Smith, married Morgan Deane in Cape Town's St Bernard's Church.
For memorable weddings in the Western Cape, popular choices include venues in the vineyards of Stellenbosch, Franschoek and Paarl or further afield in the Cape Peninsula. There are dozens of wine farms to choose from and each has its own unique character, from stately Cape Dutch mansions, like Groot Constantia, with its landscaped gardens and rich history, to smaller boutique wine farms with atmospheric cellars.
For a larger wedding, modern wine estates with state-of-the art facilities, tasting rooms and restaurants will have accommodation on-site or close by, as well as a chapel and several reception venues to choose from, Spier is an excellent example of a destination wedding venue that caters for large and small groups.
In addition, Cape Town's five-star hotels, such as the Cape Grace and the Mount Nelson are popular wedding venues, while the historic four-star Vineyard Hotel & Spa in the leafy suburb of Newlands is also a good choice. The Mother City is renowned in general for top-class restaurants capable of hosting small groups and intimate wedding celebrations.
Wedding destinations in the Western Cape also include the seaside towns of Hermanus, Langebaan and Paternoster. Inland villages in the Western Cape, such as Riebeek Kasteel, Malmesbury and Darling offer a wide choice of weddings venues, usually with spectacular mountain views. The Cederberg is another great place to say 'I do', and Bushmans Kloof Reserve and Wellness Retreat is a choice, upmarket location.
The beautiful Garden Route abounds with wedding venues: in coastal forests and wilderness areas, on private beaches like Noetzie, or even on an island, like Stanley Island in the Keurbooms Lagoon. And that's not to mention the hotels and lodges in the towns of Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, which are also well-equipped to host a perfectly romantic event.
For something entirely different, make your way to Oudtshoorn and get married on an ostrich farm... there really is something for every wedding occasion in the Western Cape.

How to get here
There are regular flights to Cape Town International Airport from main centres around the globe. The Mother city is also easily accessible by road.
Best time to visit
It generally rains in the Western Cape during the winter months. September is a very popular month for weddings and summer in the Western Cape (October through to February) offers the perfect Mediterranean climate for a wedding celebration.
Around the area
There are so many highlights worth exploring in the Western Cape, you should start to compile your wish list before you even get here: Robben Island, Table Mountain, the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, the winelands of Constantia, the Bo-Kaap, the beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay ... the list is endless.
Tours to do
A very popular tour for visitors to South Africa is to drive yourself along The Garden Route. Spend a few nights exploring the small towns and enjoying the local hospitality. You could also head off along Route 62 and get to know a bit more about the wonderful Karoo.
Get around
Your own car will give you the freedom and access to explore this wonderful province. Car hire is relatively inexpensive in South Africa.
What will it cost
Costs vary depending on the establishment you choose. It's a good idea to look out for special wedding packages advertised on the numerous wedding websites promoting South Africa.
Length of stay

AUSTRALIA coach Mickey Arthur has given the strongest indication yet that Ed Cowan will be retained for Friday's first Test, with selectors tipped to resist the temptation to promote Shane Watson back to the top of the order.
Vice-captain Watson has made no secret of his wish to resume his Test career as an opener where he has enjoyed most success with the bat.
But Cowan's form in Australia's two practice games in the Tamil Nadu capital, scoring 58, 40 and 53, looks set to ensure the adopted Tasmanian continues. David Warner will be his partner if, as expected, he overcomes a thumb complaint in time for day one at Chidambaram Stadium.
Watson will not bowl on this tour after a summer spoiled by a calf injury, but has designs on returning as an all-rounder for the Ashes series in the English summer.
Cowan is averaging only 32 after 13 Tests but has developed an increasingly reliable yin-and-yang partnership with the free-swinging Warner since coming together more than a year ago.
''I do think though that we've just come off a series where we've beaten Sri Lanka 3-0 … do those players get first opportunity?'' Arthur said. ''We're pretty clear on where and how we want to go now. We're just waiting on one or two fitness concerns. We just want to see how Davey Warner comes up over the next day or two.
''Ed has come out of these practice games with his head held high. He's had a good method against the spin and he's played exceptionally well.''
Arthur said Watson was a key plank in Australia's plan to attack India's under-pressure spinners Ravichandran Ashwin, Pragyan Ojha, Harbhajan Singh and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. India could play as many as four on Friday on a deck that, in terms of colour, is far more Roland Garros than Wimbledon. Watson's selection at No. 4 would keep captain Michael Clarke further down the order, with wicketkeeper Matthew Wade likely to bat at No. 6, where he made a century against Sri Lanka last month.
''Potentially through the middle is going to be a real tough time to bat, so you want your most seasoned campaigners in that area,'' Arthur said. ''Plus you want a guy who can take the spinners down.
''There is no point in us defending. We've got to be showing intent, because if we can show intent and put them under pressure, we could open some chinks in their armour. The Indian spinners have been under pressure - they didn't win the series against England - so the Indian spinners are coming into this series with a weight of expectation on their shoulders.
''And if we can get on top of them at any phase of the game they're going to be feeling the heat as much as our batsmen are. That's got to be a very firm plan in our mind.''
Arthur, one of three tour selectors alongside Clarke and John Inverarity, also suggested Australia was leaning towards another in-form player, Moises Henriques, to fill the all-rounder's slot and make his Test debut in Chennai ahead of off-spinning middle-order batsman Glenn Maxwell. The 26-year-old has impressed in Australia's warm-up games, particularly with a dynamic spell of reverse swing in claiming 4-12 - all top-order wickets - against the Indian President's XI.
''There's probably one all-rounder position in our team that's up for grabs,'' Arthur said. ''We've got to then determine is it the all-rounder that can give us reverse swing, or is it the all-rounder that can give us a little bit of handy off-spin? Moises has done everything right to possibly get a Test match here.''

Look, if you know us here at LBS, you know that darts isn't exactly our forte. But if we tell you to watch this video because it's awesome, just trust us and watch it. 23-year-old Dutch professional darts player Michael van Gerwen had a match to remember two weeks ago. "Mighty Mike" threw 17 straight perfect darts during a semifinal match against James Wade in the PDC World Championship and was one dart away from becoming the first player ever to hit back-to-back perfect legs. Watching the video, you feel like you're seeing one of the greatest sports moments in history. The crowd is pumping, the announcers are amped, and all the while you have van Gerwen calmly throwing perfect darts and working the crowd after hitting his targets. Van Gerwen, who won Fans' Player of the Year, was just owning the moment. The fans in attendance at Alexandra Palace in London broke into a "Seven Nation Army" chant as he kept throwing perfect dart after perfect dart. Van Gerwen focused upon his target like a dart-throwing machine and delivered one after the other until he got to 17 in a row. Unfortunately, on the 18th dart, he narrowly missed achieving a second perfect leg. "That would have been a moment of great sporting genius revealed!" bellowed one of the announcers after the miss. The Telegraph's Jonathan Liew puts the achievement into perspective: To put Van Gerwen's feat into some sort of perspective, it is necessary to delve into the history of the nine-darter, the equivalent of snooker's 147, baseball's perfect game, cricket's six sixes. So rare was it that it for more than three decades after ITV first started broadcasting darts in the early 1970s, it was once something elusive, almost mythical. Cash prizes for nine-darters were often worth more than the winner's cheque. Not until Taylor at the World Matchplay in 2002 was it achieved live on television. I honestly felt like I was watching Josh Hamilton on that famous record 28-home run streak at the 2008 Home Run Derby in Yankee Stadium. The crowd, van Gerwen, and the announcers all came together to make the moment awesome. Van Gerwen won the semifinal match 6-4, but he lost to Phil Taylor in the final. Van Gerwen did make it onto LBS for his achievement, which is all that really matters. That was incredible. H/T Deadspin The post Michael van Gerwen throws an incredible 17 straight perfect darts (Video) appeared first on Larry Brown Sports. Related posts: Roy Halladay Throws Perfect Game High school softball pitcher throws perfect game, strikes out every batter Soccer fan throws explosive at player who is receiving medical attention (Video)
All I can say is wow. I used to play and saying a perfect nine darters equivalent is in my opinion accurate. I wish he would have hit that 18th. that would have been incredible. The amount of concentration and muscle memory needed is difficult to say the least.
Darts? DARTS? Okay, I've played darts--badly--and I appreciate what a huge feat this is....but, DARTS? I appreciate there are societal differences at play, some people really appreciate this "sport" and follow it just as we do football, baseball, etc., but......DARTS?
Greatest feat never saw that would be the GM of the Dallas Cowboys getting fired.

Firefighters were called to the site, off Valley Road, just after midnight after receiving a mass of calls from members of the public.
Crews from Weeley and Clacton were called out to tackle the resulting blaze, extinguishing the flames by 1.10am this morning.
The explosion did not damage the nearby Rugby clubhouse.

I am currently out of idea how to design this table so I would really like some suggestions. Description as follows:
Table will hold 3 exam result.Exam A: 8 mandatory subject with infinite optional subject.Exam B: 6 mandatory subject with infinite optional subject.Exam C: 1 mandatory subject with 4 optional subject.
Feature to keep in mind:
Just inserting data I would be able to think of something however when putting the features into the mix, it just won't work.
My last resort is having a single table with: studentid, exam, subjectcode, result. This will work as in searchable and calculable however I have a feeling of a very messy and huge database in the long run.
My current design (given by my friend):Each subject and its result have it's own field. It works but very hard to expand (add more subjects).
Any recommendations?
My last resort is having a single table with: studentid, exam, subjectcode, result.
I guess you'll have a students table as well (for all student info), and an exams table (containing the subjects and mandatory/optional for the exams), but the table that tells you the result by each student in each subject for each exam should look exactly like that, I think.
You can't do this in one table and still maintain 3rd Normal Form.
The results table should be something like:
Ex. A | Math | Student 1 | AEx. A | English| Student 2 | B
You'll need other tables to handle your other data though.
sure you can
the result table you gave ~is~ in 3NF
Right, but it's not a complete solution... it's ~only~ the results table...
You'll need more tables to model the other required data for the app he's specified.
and what other data would that be?
i looked through post #1 carefully and couldn't find any
How about # of mandatory / optional subjects per exam? You can't properly implement the business logic behind that without an exam table (minimum) that specs those figures.
And implied specification of which subjects are mandatory for each exam... (Feature #2 implies a desire to group on the subjects per exam... which should be able to left join for subjects that have no results listed)
I can think of 2-3 (minimum) additional tables required to properly model the above.
that's actually really hard to do with sql
i'd love to see your suggestion
I'm not suggesting that the app be controlled by the DB, but the schema should account for the metadata required to model an app around it.
Let me add a few more information. My apologies if earlier information was insufficient.
Subjects are unique for each exam hence having it's own table. The same goes for Grades. Another is of course, the student's table.
As for differentiation between mandatory and optional subject I believe it does not matter as much as I can just fixed it in the form itself. Being expandable is more important (as in they can add any amount of subject they wish and enter its grade).
I have thought of the same thing as transio and agreed by guido2004. However the one thing that make it 'last resort' is amount of queries needed just to insert all the results. I was told there could be a massive registration at a given moment hence having too many queries might not be a good idea. Especially since the average minimum subject a student takes is 8 on Exam A plus 10 on Exam B. That's 18 subject on top of all other queries.Not to mention the calculation later on would be a resource nightmare. Oh just in case of a misunderstanding, the calculation is all grade for all subject for all exam at once and not one at a time.
FYI, I believe it should around 100 registration at a single moment. My server is a Xeon X3440 with 4GB of RAM.
Don't worry about # of inserts... the Results table should be insert-only (no updates), so you won't have to worry about performance... it'll handle pretty much whatever you throw at it (even 1,000s of inserts per second, sustained, with billions of records in total). Inserts perform very well in MySQL when you're not pegging the table with other operations.
To pull your results out, you can have a separate reporting DB that does nightly imports of the data from the live DB and "flattens" the data. This would also eliminate any unnecessary overhead on the live DB during hours of use.
i agree
so what is your suggestion for the schema to model the mandatory and optional bits?
Exams Table
Exam A | Foo Bar Etc. | 4Exam B | Foo Bar Etc. | NULL (infinite)
Subjects Table
Math | Foo Bar Etc.English | Foo Bar Etc.Science | Foo Bar Etc.

BURNLEY will have a reunion with Eddie Howe on Valentine's weekend as planned, after Bournemouth were knocked out of the FA Cup by Liverpool.
An upset by the Cherries would have meant rescheduling the fixture that falls on fifth round weekend, February 15, and a midweek trip to the south coast later in the season for the Clarets.
But, despite a spirited performance by Howe's men, goals for Victor Moses and Daniel Sturridge ensured Liverpool's progress in the competition, and no changes to the Championship diary for Bournemouth and Burnley.
Despite the defeat Howe was proud of his men's efforts in the live televised clash.
And the former Turf Moor chief, whose men were playing in League One last season, said: "I'm very proud of the players as individually they have had to work very hard to produce that level of performance.
"I was really happy with everyone.
"Hopefully everyone leaves here in a positive frame of mind."

Some of Australia's biggest super funds have written to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, expressing concern about the growth of ultra-fast electronic trading in the local equity market.
The group - representing more than $1 trillion under management - has also asked the corporate regulator to consider reforming the way in which the Australian Securities Exchange gives information to market participants, believing the ''unfairness embedded in the structure of the market'' has allowed high frequency traders to thrive, to the detriment of others.
The group argues that HFTs have an unfair advantage over traditional investors claiming they can see information a fraction of a second before other market participants. The group claims the ASX allows this to happen by offering them ''special access'' through ''co-location facilities'' and ''special data feeds''.
Given the speeds with which HFTs operate, this is undermining market fairness and contributing to a ''two-tiered market'', the group says.
''We believe attention must be directed towards issues of market fairness, and towards certain practices commonly associated with high-frequency trading,'' the letter says. ''We request that ASIC consider reform at the exchange level.''
The move comes as global concerns about high-speed computerised trading continues to rise. Germany recently approved a draft law aimed at reining in the practice and the European Parliament voted to force trading venues to slow the speed at which orders can be made.
In Australia, about 30 per cent of all stock trading is done by HFT.
The Australian fund managers say the provision of ''non-discriminatory access'' to special information is not fair.
''Market fairness involves the dissemination of information by market operators that results in a level playing field, this is different from the provision of 'non-discriminatory access'.''
But Carole Comerton-Forde, of ANU's College of Business and Economics, says access to co-location and fast data is non-discriminatory, so anyone who wants to buy that access can do so.
''Each individual investor has to make a decision on whether it's worth investing in that technology to get that advantage,'' Professor Comerton-Forde said. ''I don't really see that as much of an issue, as long as the data that's being made available is consistent and available to everyone that wants to pay.''
A spokesman for the ASX said the exchange provided non-discriminatory access to its services and it did not give a select group of customers access to information before others.
It comes one month after the Industry Super Network - the funds manager on behalf of many of the nation's industry super funds - called for a moratorium on HFT in Australia's financial markets to allow regulators to come to grips with the new technology.
Last year, the Reserve Bank's assistant governor of financial markets, Guy Debelle, said there was no evidence that HFT caused market shocks. He did say that HFT ''may accelerate and propagate'' shocks that begin elsewhere.

Volunteers put on a blooming good show when they turned out to do some planting in Rawdon.
Despite the wind and rain, they did their bit by planting on the grassed area between Over Lane and Larkfield Road.
They came forward to help with the planting session following an appeal in December by Rawdon parish councillor Phil Gomersall.
He said: "It was an exceptionally windy morning with sharp rain showers but this didn't deter the volunteers. Eight large bags of daffodils and a fair number of crocus bulbs were planted around the perimeter of the area.
"Despite being planted late, with a bit of luck, they should enhance this formerly plain area of grass this spring."
All of the volunteers at the planting put their names forward to be part of the new Rawdon in Bloom.
It is now proposed to create a more elaborate planted area at the junction and to decorate Rawdon's two main shopping areas with hanging baskets.
Anyone who wants to help, or any local businesses wanting to sponsor a hanging basket or any other planting in Rawdon should contact Coun Gomersall at email@example.com. uk or on 07527 484545.

BURNLEY are bracing themselves to fight off interest from Southampton in star striker Danny Ings, but reports of a formal enquiry are premature at this stage.
It is no secret that Saints have tracked the Clarets' 26-goal top scorer, who is on their shortlist of attacking targets, however they have not yet made their interest concrete.
But being in receipt of more than £50million for the combined sale of Luke Shaw to Manchester United and Adam Lallana to Liverpool – a deal that is set to go through on Monday – they will be making plans to spend that money as they seek to rebuild their squad, with Rickie Lambert's transfer to Anfield finalised before the World Cup.
It is unlikely, though, that anything will happen before new manager Ronald Koeman starts officially on Monday.
He has been linked with Feyenoord forward Graziano Pelle, which could affect any potential move for Ings, although Southampton are in the market for more than one striker this summer.
Meanwhile, the Clarets have not given up on landing midfield target Craig Bryson, despite the Scot reporting for pre-season training with Derby.
The Clarets have had an undisclosed offer rejected by the Rams, who are now trying to encourage the 27-year-old to stay.
Bryson is already contracted until the summer of 2016 but Derby are ready to make a bigger commitment to the 27-year-old.
A statement from the Rams read: "The offer was immediately rejected and the club remains in discussions with Bryson with regards to extending his existing contract."
But Burnley will not be discouraged from pursuing their interest in the goalscoring midfielder, after already holding talks.
The Clarets were able to speak with Scotland international after triggering a clause in his contract, which permitted an offer of £750,000 or above the opportunity for the bidding club to enter into discussions.
Since then Bryson has reported back to Derby County for pre-season training.
The former Kilmarnock middle man underwent fitness testing with the rest of the Rams squad when they checked in at Moor Farm on Thursday.

The Dallas city attorney's office has released most of its records related to a complaint against Baylor's Tom Landry Fitness Center filed under the city's sexual orientation nondiscrimination ordinance.
After few answers from the city attorney's office about why we weren't permitted to view the file a few weeks ago, we were told earlier this week we could view the file, except for some communications that were considered protected by attorney-client privilege. The city has asked the Texas attorney general's office to review that information and render an opinion about whether it should be released.
In October, the city attorney's office said the case was closed after officials with Baylor Health Care System agreed to end all family memberships. Alan Rodriguez and his longtime partner were denied a family membership discount in February 2011 because they are a same-sex couple, and they filed a complaint under the ordinance, which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation in public accommodations.
The city attorney's office closed the case in exchange for Baylor's commitment to end all family memberships. But a timeline of when discussions about ending the memberships took place wasn't provided, nor was it contained in the file we reviewed today.
According to the file, Baylor's representatives continued to request that the case be dismissed on the grounds that Tom Landry is a private club and a religious organization — and that Baylor recognizes married couples as outlined by Texas law. The case was sent to the city attorney in mid-June 2011, and the last date on on a request for information from the city attorney's office is Oct. 19, 2011.
The final investigative report was completed Nov. 3, 2011, and mentioned that Baylor would have to prove a specific membership to be considered a religious organization, and that the ordinance doesn't protect private clubs, only religious and government entities.

Troupe prepares for 'killer' improv at murder mystery
OCEAN PINES — To paraphrase a famous quote, sometimes murder mystery dinners are like a box of chocolates – you never know what you are going to get. Get a Clue Productions, the brainchild of Ted and Maria Demetriou, will perform an audience interactive whodunit at the Woodlands of Ocean Pines on Feb. 8.
The murder mystery will be a bit different from the usual Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marple fare. You never read about Miss Marple crooning a sultry a cappella country tune in western attire.
The country music-themed show will be performed improv style, which is likely to spice up Valentine's Day date night with a bit of comedy and surprising twists. Audience members will be part of the murder investigation, the troupe said.
"See how well your detective skills are at solving a murder while you enjoy dinner and a show with your sweetheart!" according to an announcement for the event.
But don't forget to bring your country boots and hats.
The Demetrious have been performing and directing acting troupes for the past 10 years and their performance Friday night will be from an original script, said Ted Demetriou, an insurance broker.
The cast also includes Jim Adcock, an artist; Edie Brennan, a Realtor; Graham Caldwell a voice performer; and Elizabeth Kain-Bolen, executive director of the Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce.
Ted Demetriou said the actors were learning the personalities of their characters and will improvise throughout the scriptin the manner their characters would respond to the various twists and turns as the mystery unfolds. "If your character is a weenie, be a weenie," he told the performers during a Feb. 4 rehearsal.
But the audience will get drawn into the whole sordid affair as they get assigned as associates of various characters before the show. The associates will add to the clues each of the actors deliver as the play unfolds and the diners will be encouraged to use those clues and associations to solve the mystery.
Prizes will be awarded by drawing from among the successful amateur sleuths.
The performance is scheduled from 6-9 p.m. Tickets cost $40 each and includes dinner and the show. A cash bar will be provided.

Raymond Wayne Casstevens and Ellie Lee Pope Wed
Raymond Wayne Casstevens of Dallas and Miss Ella Lee Pope of Dallas were married at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Norris, 5119 Live Oak Street. Dr. J. L. Gross of Houston performed the ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Pope of Elkhart, and the bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Casstevens of Alvarado. Each is a graduate of Baylor University.
The ceremony was performed before an altar of palms, ferns, tall baskets of pink and orchid larkspur and two candelabra holding white tapers. Baskets of garden flowers marked the altar.
Prior to the ceremony, Robert S. Pool sang "For You Alone," accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Pool. This was followed by the bridal march from "Lohengrin," played by Miss Ruth Norris. At the close of the ceremony the lights were turned off and the tapers lighted. Mr. Pool sang the chorus from "Song of Love." while the couple stood in the candlelight.
The bride wore a gown of white georgette, elaborately embroidered in crystal beads, an imported French model, worn with white satin slippers with rhinestone buckles. Her headdress was of lace caught at one side with sprays of orange blossoms and at the right with a shower of satin ribbons centered with pearls and orange blossoms. Her veil was of white tulle caught at intervals with orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and lillies of the valley.
Miss Alleyne Spencer of Waco, maid of honor, wore a pink georgette dress over pink satin with pink satin slippers. Her flowers were an arm bouquet of orchid sweet peas and Ophelia roses.
The best man was Lawrence Henry of Lancaster, a former classmate of the bridegroom.
The matron of honor was Mrs. Bayard T. Gross of Kansas City, a sister of the bride. She wore orchid georgette embroidered with pink and orchid crystal beads, and gray satin slippers with rhinestone buckles. She carried an arm bouquet of pink sweet peas and Ophella rosebuds.
The ceremony was followed by a reception. Baskets of flowers were used for decorations throughout the house and the table in the dining-room was laid in lace and centered with a miniature bride and bridegroom. The table was further decorated with four bows of orchid tulle and a orchid tapera. A shower of satin ribbons and Sweetheart roses and fern fell from the chandelier to the four corners of the table.
In one corner of the room was arranged the punch bowl, which was presided over by Miss Jane McDuffle. Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Norris were assisted in receiving the guests by Mr. and Mrs. C. R. McDuffle. Miss Ethel Thomas presided at the bride's book and Mrs. Fred Dellone Jr. and Miss Jennie Beauchamp presided over the bride's cake. Assisting in the dining-room were Misses Esther Norris, Evelyn Thomas and Mary Williams.
Mr. and Mrs. Casstevens will spend their honeymoon in Corpus Christi and other points on the coast. Mrs. Casstevens wore a tailored Madelon georgette frock and navy Bangkok hat with gray accesories for her going-away costume. Upon their return they will be at home at 218 West Tenth Street.
The bride for the last year was a member of the Oak Cliff High School faculty.
