The Clinical Neuroscience Center also has two beds for children with sleep disorders. With a staff imported from Yale University, the Sleep Disorders Center at Montefiore is one of the only sleep centers devoted entirely to children. With overnight monitoring, the Center specializes in diagnosing and treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), sleep walking, night terrors and movement disorders during sleep. "Sleep is vitally important. You can't have normal daytime function without normal nighttime function," says Lewis Kass, M.D., medical director of the children's sleep center. "If something seems amiss, ask your pediatrician because sleep is often overlooked," Dr. Kass advises. Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea is far more common and occurs when air cannot flow into or out of the person's nose or mouth, though they continue trying to breathe. "If a child has OSA, when they get to be school age, you will see poor school performance, inattentiveness, impulsivity and behavioral disorders across the board," Dr. Kass says. "Parents commonly say 'My kid is just such an unhappy kid. He or she is so irritable and flies off the handle' and that is probably because they are not getting good sleep." The biggest cause of OSA are tonsils and adenoids but obesity, which used to be considered a rare cause of sleep apnea in children, is now reaching epidemic proportions, Dr. Kass says. "Now I take care of two obese kids with OSA a week. That's 25 percent of patients," he adds. If OSA is caused by tonsils or adenoids that obstruct breathing, removal can help, Dr. Kass says. But if a child is obese, and obesity is the cause of the breathing problem, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) becomes the option. CPAP is a machine that helps a person who has sleep apnea breathe more easily during sleep. Used at home every night during sleep, CPAP increases air pressure in the throat, preventing collapse of the airway when a person inhales. CPAP also may help the person's bed partner sleep better. It has a mask that covers the face, a mask that covers the nose (nasal continuous positive airway pressure, or NCPAP), or prongs that fit into the nose. The mask that fits over the nose is used most frequently. The Children's Hospital at Montefiore is located at 3415 Bainbridge Ave., in the Bronx. For more information, call (718) 741-CHAM (2426).
New Sleep Apnea Tool May Help in Diagnosis High-tech airway scans can help doctors better diagnose and treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children, according to the results of a study by Cincinnati researchers. As many as 1 percent to 3 percent of otherwise healthy preschool children in the U.S. have OSA, according to the American Sleep Apnea Association, in Washington, D.C. "That means about 60,000 to 70,000 children in the Bronx alone will have sleep apnea," says Lewis Kass, M.D., medical director of the children's sleep center at Montefiore. Called "cine Magnetic Resonance Imaging", the new technology is a high-tech type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that takes a moving picture of the airway and then plays it back like a movie. The study, which was conducted at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and published in the April 2003 issue of the journal Radiology, aimed to visualize the difference in airway movement in children with and without the condition. "The gold standard is the sleep study, but a sleep study is expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive," Dr. Kass says. X-rays of the skull and airway may also be used to help diagnose OSA, but study researchers say that unlike the new MRI, neither X-rays nor sleep studies can provide detailed information on why it occurs. "The information provided by the [cine] MRI scan can help direct the physician to the cause of the problem — which may be treated surgically or non-surgically," says lead study author Lane F. Donnelly, radiologist in chief at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
Advice for Mothers to Sleep On By Kirsten Matthew
If you long for the weekends, just to get an extra hour or two of sleep, you're not alone. Recent studies show that three out of four American women do not get the eight or more hours of recommended sleep per night during the workweek. Among women aged 30 to 60, sleep deprivation is impairing both health and performance, making them more prone to depression, relationship problems, and even coronary heart disease. "Many women, particularly working moms, exist in a constant state of sleepiness," says Suzanne Griffin, M.D., clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., and mother of two. "Unfortunately, for many women it's more than just the physical demands on time that make it difficult to get a full night's rest. Sleep loss in women is often the result of hormonal shifts or particular health conditions, such as arthritis and depression, that are more likely to affect women than men." Several gender-specific conditions contribute to widespread sleep loss in women: A woman's sleep is disturbed 2.5 days on average during the menstrual cycle; more women than men (58 percent versus 48 percent) suffer from nighttime pain, including pain due to arthritis and headaches, according to the National Sleep Foundation. For many mothers with children, changes in their maternal makeup — i.e., a high sensitivity to the sounds of their children — cause them to wake more easily and sleep less efficiently, even after their children are grown. "Adequate sleep is critical for good health in women of all ages," Dr. Griffin says. "Anyone who has trouble sleeping should see their doctor." Although many women experience difficulty sleeping, only 4 percent of adults currently see a physician about their sleep problems, according to a 1999 Omnibus Sleep in America Poll, the last time for which data was available. The average woman gets only about six-and-a-half hours of sleep per weeknight, a recent National Sleep Foundation poll found. Nearly two-thirds of women say sleep loss interferes with their relationships with their spouse or children, and more than half say it interferes with their daily activities. Seventy-four percent of women agree that "feeling tired all the time is a problem" in their lives. "There are ways to treat the problem, including changes in bedtime sleep habits as well as prescription medications that are safe and help you sleep without grogginess," Dr. Griffin says. To help maintain a healthier lifestyle, Dr. Griffin recommends women examine their sleep habits and adjust them as needed. She suggests the following tips to help women get their proper rest: • Avoid alcohol and foods or beverages high in caffeine, sugar and salt. • Exercise regularly, but finish any workout at least three hours before bedtime. • If you have trouble falling asleep, try warming up your feet. Inadequate vasodilation (opening of blood vessels to increase blood flow) can cause sleep problems. • If you can't fall asleep after a reasonable period, get up, go into a darkened or dimly lit room, and participate in a quiet activity such as reading or listening to soothing music.

London (Oct. 7)
Sir Philip Magnus, noted educator and prominent Jewish leader, celebrated his ninetieth birthday here today.
Sir Philip has represented London University in Parliament for sixteen years.
A native of London, where he was born on October 7, 1842 and educated at University College and the University of London, Sir Philip trained for the ministry. For many years he served as one of the ministers of the Berkeley Street Synagogue.
Sir Philip, who was knighted in 1886 in recognition of his services to education, is a leading authority on technical education in the United Kingdom.
While still associated with the Berkeley Street Synagogue, he did much private teaching and became a Professor of mechanics at the Catholic University. His "Lessons in Elementary Mechanics" published in London in 1874 was for a long time a standard text book on the subject.
In 1880 he was appointed secretary of the City and Guilds of London Institute for the Advancement of Technical Education. In this connection he served as a member of a royal commission which visited the chief educational centers of western Europe.
He has served as principal of the Finsbury Technical College and as a member of the London School Board. In 1900 he became fellow of the senate of London University.
Sir Philip is connected with a number of communal Jewish institutions, principal among them being the Anglo-Jewish Association of which he is a vice-president.

Divisive leader Erdogan favorite in Turkey president vote
Updated 11:04 pm, Friday, August 8, 2014
For the first time in its history, Turkey is directly electing its president on Sunday in a contest considered a turning point for the country of 76 million people - with its prime minister the strong favorite for a job he has pledged to transform from a symbolic role into one of real power.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's dominant politician over the past decade, is seen by many as aiming to solidify his grip on power after serving three consecutive terms as prime minister at the head of his Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party. An absolute majority is needed to avoid a runoff on Aug. 24.
Latest news videos
Erdogan, 60, is revered by many as a man of the people who ushered in a period of economic prosperity, reviled by others as an increasingly autocratic leader trying to impose his religious and conservative views on a country with strong secular traditions.
Erdogan's two challengers are Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, a 70-year-old academic who enjoys the support of nearly a dozen opposition parties, and Selahattin Demirtas, 41, a Kurd who heads a left-leaning party and has already made a name for himself on the minority Kurdish political scene.

Indian rebels deny base captured
A spokesman for the outlawed Manipur People's Liberation Front (MPLF) said Indian Border Security Force (BSF) troops had not manage to get beyond what he described as their forward defence post.
The MPLF spokesman told the BBC that their fighters had managed to repeatedly repulse the BSF attacks at their so-called forward defence post in Molnom village in the Sajit Tampak area.
He said eight border guards were killed, 20 were injured and claimed the rebels had suffered no casualties.
Local journalists, quoting village leaders in the area, say the rebels have held on to much of their base area and the BSF has only managed to take control of some of the lower reaches around Sajit Tampak.
Indian operation
The BSF offensive against the headquarters of the MPLF started on Wednesday and border guard officials said on Friday that they had taken Sajit Tampak.
They said they had suffered six casualties, including a captain, against five casualties of the MPLF.
The BSF chief in Manipur, PK Mishra, however, said the rebels still dominated some of the hills around Sajit Tampak.
Alhough his troops would try to flush them out, they would not chase the rebels into Burma, he said.
In another incident, the MPLF attacked six outposts belonging to various Indian security forces and ambushed two convoys - a sign that they still retained the ability to strike at targets in the Imphal valley area.
Three border guards, the MPLF spokesman said, were killed in these attacks and several others were injured.
He said the MPLF had encircled a retreating BSF column at Pardai village but the border guards managed to break through the cordon taking advantage of the heavy early morning fog.

When my girlfriend visits she seems to get a reaction to the cat. Her lips get itchy, red and almost look a little swollen too.
She also suffers from Eczema on her hands but it seems to be her lips that cause the biggest problem. Sometimes she eats certain foods and thinks that this causes the lip itch as well.
Does anyone have knowledge about these types of symptoms or have a remedy that may help? Maybe a cream? I know Hay Fever tablets do the trick, they are amazing in fact but she can't just keep popping tablets because we will be living together soon and the cat is coming along.
Cheers!READ MORE

OUR revelations this week that County Hall's value has been slashed because a nuclear bunker built beneath it needs to be filled in set me thinking.
The existence of a bunker beneath the former home of Gwent County Council, most recently shared by Torfaen and Monmouthshire councils, has been talked about for decades.
The bunker is now described as a 'void' beneath the Croesyceiliog building that has to be filled before the land can be sold.
We hope to be able to send some of our journalists into the bunker before it disappears, to let you know what was in the shelter.
Something similar happened at a newspaper I edited in Worcester some years ago.
We gained access to a bunker that would have been used as an emergency communications centre in the event of nuclear war.
The interior of the bunker was absolutely fascinating and its contents belonged to another age, far closer to the Second World War than modern-day Britain.
There are hundreds of such establishments across the country.
Some of them have even been turned into museums.
The threat of nuclear war may be little more than a fading memory for many, but at the height of the Cold War in the late Seventies and early Eighties it was very real.
Perhaps the most illuminating information concerning bunkers would concern who would be in them at the advent of war.
It is information that will no doubt never be revealed.
But I suspect a good idea of your importance during the Cold War would have been whether you were on the bunker list.
I somehow doubt there were many newspaper editors included.
No support for any party intended
LAST week's column raised the hackles of a number of political types.
For those who found it difficult to read beyond the sentences they disagreed with, let me reiterate that I was not attacking or supporting any political party.
I was expressing a personal opinion about the general perception of politicians and the reasons for it, and using a particular local example to make my point.
It would not have mattered whether it was Tories, Labour, Liberals or any other party staging a protest walkout from a council meeting – I would still have disagreed with it.
It's important to remind those who criticised last week that this is an opinion column – and as such you have every right to disagree with it.
Frankie Boyle tweet just sickening
SOCIAL media has plenty of faults and is awash with foul-mouthed idiots making inappropriate comments.
It is usually best to ignore the fools and concentrate on the people who use the likes of Facebook and Twitter to its full potential as tools to connect, disseminate and market.
This week, however, I could not ignore a particularly sickening 'joke' made by the 'comedian' Frankie Boyle about Madeleine McCann.
Quite why anybody continues to employ this man, or buys tickets to see him perform, is beyond me.
He has lost all sense of human dignity.

Image/Object in Photomedia (CAEL2043)
This unit of study explores how photography can interact with the world beyond a two-dimensional image, and how the relationship between objects and photography can stretch the function of the image. You consider what a photograph may be materially when it extends into a three-dimensional object form, and how the image might be situated to encompass a sculptural and interactive dimension. You develop image-based practices that combine digital photography, analogue photography, projection, print, objects and installation to encourage a multidisciplinary approach to photographic practice.

HOUSTON - If you have a dog or cat that became ill after eating jerky treats, the Food and Drug Administration wants to hear from you.
The agency has been warning consumers about tainted jerky treats since 2007.
A total of 3,600 dogs and small numbers of cats have gotten sick and 580 of those pets have died.
The FDA has done more than 1,000 tests at facilities in China and has talked to experts around the world, but still there have been no leads on a cause.
The agency is offering to pay for tests on blood and tissue samples submitted by dog owners whose pets got sick.
Pet owners should be watching for any symptoms after feeding their pets jerky treats. They include decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea and pets who are drinking more than usual.
Some jerky products were removed from the market in January and the FDA says the number of illness did drop following that recall. If your pet becomes sick, stop the treats, get to your vet and save any remaining treats and the packaging for testing.

At the MRC, we work to make bias history. In the media, they've learned to bias history – even Military History.
The magazine by the same name has gone left. How far, as Johnny Carson fans would say? So far that the June issue included several letters skewering it for the "outrageous" switch from a balanced historical publication to another left-wing political outlet.
On a weekend where we honor our warriors past and present, it's important to note that the left does not. And now they have taken their propaganda to a whole new audience and are trying to alter not just the future, but the past.
I've read MH for more than a decade and was infuriated with the magazine's April issue. It included a Q&A with left-wing Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), a piece mocking the lessons learned from the Alamo, and an article about Napoleonic Spain that somehow included a discussion of the current war in Iraq.
I responded to the magazine and canceled my subscription – a gift from my parents. I wasn't the only one in an uproar. The June issue included numerous letters, including my own, criticizing everything from the new design ("a dead ringer for Popular Mechanics") to the fact that "almost every page includes editorial commentary."
MH is published by Weider History Group, which also produces nine other history mags. I don't read those, but if this one is any example, they are spinning history so fast, they must have dug up Joseph Goebbels to help them. Here's what Hitler's top PR man said on the topic: "It does not matter how clever it is, for the task of propaganda is not to be clever, its task is to lead to success." It's like the left's new motto.
If you read any of Weider's pubs, tell them how you feel. If you correspond with MH Editor Michael W. Robbins, you might be surprised that he uses an ironic quote from Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan as a signature to all letters. "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion--but not to their own facts."Here are a few sample responses to MH's assault on reason and Robbins' use of his own facts:
- Reader Greg N. Ripps, of San Antonio, Texas, criticized other publications for claiming "to publish articles on history but can't resist insinuating a political or social message." He went on: "Military History has stood apart from these with consistent quality of historical journalism – until now."
- "If I want to be exposed to defeatist commentary or liberal drivel, I will read Time or watch CNN," wrote Jean-Andre Parmiter of Sherwood, Ark.
- E. Allen Kendall was one of many who were appalled at the linking of Iraq to an article about the Napoleonic Wars. "I have just reached P. 44, the middle of an otherwise interesting article about the Napoleonic Peninsular War and, incredibly, it includes another editorial about Iraq!"
Thanks to all the men and women who protect us not just this holiday weekend, but every day. Thanks also to the families who hope and pray for their loved ones in uniforms to stay safe.
America won't forget you. True Americans never will never abandon you. Even if Military History does.

[Disclaimer: This article is satire, or what we used to call "fake news" before actual fake news started poisoning the political discourse!]
In Face of Tragedy, Satire Takes Day Off, North Korea Newsfeed Fills in Nicely
Kim Jong-Un good at satire, doesn't even know what it means
In light of recent events in Boston and West, TX, Satire has decided to take a break. Luckily, there are people in this world that can step in at a moment's notice and fill her shoes quite nicely.
The North Korean government, a faithful part of the substitute pool for many years, was called in at the last minute to take over Satire's duties while she was out on leave.
And, after a full and festive day of blustering, blathering, and threatening (which they titled "Two Million Wild and Crazy Threats" in tribute to SNL), they rounded the show off in classic DPRK style.
9:00 pm
"WE WILL DEATOMIZE YOU AND THEN REASSEMBLE YOU AND DEATOMIZE YOU AGAIN!! WE WILL PULL ALL THE HAIRS OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND THEN PUT THEM BACK IN!! THE WRONG WAY!! HAHAHA!! WE WILL MAKE YOU LISTEN TO OUR OWN VERSION OF MILITARY CHOIR GANGNAM STYLE OVER AND OVER AND OVER UNTIL YOUR EARS BLEED INTO YOUR MOUTH AND BACK INTO YOUR EARS!! WE WILL–(cough, cough). Aside: Can somebody get me some water? Thanks. WE WILL…"
10:30 pm
A VHS video of a North Korean soldier single-handedly capturing 1,000,000 Americans is posted by mail. Ask Steve for a copy.
11:12 pm
A new North Korean first-person shooter game called America Sucks (very much resembling a pirated version of Call of Duty) is released on Amazon. All shooters have Kim Jong-Un's face and head photoshopped over the original. It looks really good.
11:57 pm
A flannel board story depicting Kim Jong Un flying on a unicorn that shoots death-rays out of its horn–completely annihilating his foes–is offered to schools and Sunday schools around the world.
After all was said and done, North Korea did not disappoint–reminding the world once again of the great debt Satire owes to places like the DPRK, and to little and big tyrants everywhere.

Cape Town – He's had two false starts in the last two years, but it seems as if Schalk Burger is finally back for good for the Stormers.
The Springbok loose forward played the whole game in Saturday's 26-19 victory over the Bulls in Polokwane, with the Stormers scoring four tries to three in the process. And coach Allister Coetzee told the Cape Times on Sunday that one of the many positives was Burger's performance.
"Schalk played the full 80 minutes and he really put in a strong performance. Very high work-rate, very effective in ball-carrying, great hands and decision-making – he was very good," Coetzee said.
"The loose forwards played very well, even when Nizaam (Carr) and Deon (Fourie) came on. They were outstanding, and the competition at loose forward is really looking healthy."
The coach expressed his satisfaction with how the forwards managed to dominate the scrums and win their lineouts against a strong Bulls pack, who had veteran Bok star Victor Matfield making his comeback after two years out of the game.
"Victor played about 21 minutes. I must still check the video, but he obviously took lineout ball. He took one of our balls late in the game, but our main jumper Ruan Botha was off already. It's difficult to judge in 20 minutes," Coetzee said.
But what impressed him most was the ability of the backs to strike. "Our biggest positive was our set-piece play, we scrummed really well. Our lineout work was good, and with our backs and starter moves ... We really had a lot of impetus, getting us over the advantage line – running good lines and getting line-breaks was really great."
Damian de Allende and Kobus van Wyk did well at wing against Bjorn Basson and Akona Ndungane, but while Coetzee was pleased with their displays, he confirmed he was still searching for a new signing.
The wing worries will be eased with the return of fullback Jaco Taute against the Kings in Port Elizabeth on Friday. Taute's presence will allow Gio Aplon to move to right wing. "Guys coming back are Brok Harris, Pat Cilliers, Manuel Carizza and Jaco," Coetzee said.
"Ruan got a bump to the head, and he did a concussion test and stayed off. We will continue the process tomorrow. Louis Schreuder got a bump to a knee, and the same for Juan de Jongh, but they should be fine."
There is also a strong chance of flyhalf Peter Grant coming back from Japan for the opening game against the Lions on February 22 after his club Kobe lost their playoff match yesterday.

The experiences he gathered while traveling and living around the world have infused him with a passion for international relations and politics. Gladly he stumbled upon Model United Nations in Shanghai 2008. Ever since, #MUN is an activity that has given him much more than simply the opportunities to learn about international affairs, to travel across four continents, or to get really good at tying his tie on the go as he rushes to committee. More importantly, #ModelUN has given him the chance to meet all of you; to connect with young people from over a hundred countries, and to foster meaningful friendships that last far beyound the bang of the final gavel dies out.

I think my friends would describe my character as easy going, sociable, spontaneous, optimistic, adventurous & open-minded. What do I want from this experience? Hopefully to meet someone who can share some of my interests & introduce me to some of hers. I'm quite an 'outdoorsy' kind of person - love hiking, surfing, camping trips, the sea, etc. I love travel too & have been lucky enough to see a lot of the world. I love playing tennis & generally try to keep fit.
I'm HUGELY into music (mainly rock/indie) & love going to see bands. Occasionally dabble with a trip to the theatre but more into cinema. I've a wide circle of friends & that's an important part of my life too. However, I'm really excited about meeting someone who I can share all the fun times with.
Have been making the most of my free time by organising weekends away, going to music festivals and catching up with friends.
Have a good work/life balance as I work 4 days/week & value quality time with great people much more rewarding than material things

While I admire Apple for their success in creating easy to use functions, I also cringe every time I see a price tag for anything apple related. "priced at less than $1,000 U.S. Dollars" wow with the economy in a recessive state, you would think that Apple could make their product more easily affordable. This thing better have Macbook capabilities at that price.

Im thinking Macbook Air hardware and a giant touchscreen. That would be an AWESOME wifi remote connected to an Airport Express running AirTunes. It may be expensive, but I love Apple stuff.

I am using the Panel fields row style in some Views displays, and after upgrading to 3.9 I'm seeing empty fields in these displays. The rows themselves are in fact displayed, but they have no field content when output to the page in question. This is also true in the live preview when editing the View. Switching to another row style remedies this problem.
The views in question all use 1 argument, some filters, sort options and a couple of relationships.
I have compared the generated SQL from 3.8 to 3.9 and cannot detect a difference, but I guess that is expected behaviour. Running the query by hand does in fact provide a node_title column containing the title of the nodes, but it is not output to Views (when using Panels 3.9).
Reverting to Panels 3.8 correctly displays the Views that use Panel fields.
To be clear: I'm using the Views UI, but this bug pertains specifically to Panel fields which are maintined in the Panels module.

Have checked in /plugins/views/panels.views.inc but I'm not sure what I'm looking for to confirm that it's been patched. My file contains the following code, could someone please confirm that this is the correct, patched code for me?
* Implementation of hook_views_plugins
function panels_views_plugins() {
$plugins = array(
'row' => array(
'panels_fields' => array(
'title' => t('Panel fields'),
'help' => t('Displays the fields in a panel rather than using a template.'),

Comment #37merlinofchaos CreditAttribution: merlinofchaos commented
It's possible you downloaded after I committed but before the -dev was rerolled. drupal.org only rolls new -dev releases at noon and midnight GMT, so there can be a significant delay from the time of commit.

This more than one year old issue is NOT solved completely, there are many oversights on the developer's part, and if one overrides titles in Panels, the module breaks again.
Comment #49davidwhthomas CreditAttribution: davidwhthomas commented
|» Normal
|Closed (fixed)
|» Active
Subtle hint, but complaining of oversights on the developer's part is not the best way to get support.
Nevertheless, I'm encountering a similar issue, in my case using the node_view panel and finding empty node fields are now being output as empty panes.
It does appear to be related to using the "Override title" feature.
When override title is off, and the node field is empty, nothing is output, as expected.
When override title is on, and the node field is empty, the pane is still output.
Need to prevent output if empty content, even if override title is on.
Comment #50deltab CreditAttribution: deltab commented
@davidwthomas, I used to offer QA and click testing (all I know how to) two years ago, Drupal developers didn't care in any case, so I know one will never get support.
Now I only register my complaints, and hope some 3rd party developer will contact me and solve the issue for a small fee. I have another long story going on with UUID and node save, if revisions are left on, then UUID changes all the time, rendering the module useless for any practical reason. Do you think they fixed it or even responded to the issues I raised politely?
Workaround for this issue would be,
1. Turn Override Title Off,
2. Install String Overrides or Strongarm, and context
3. Configure to get the job done
Comment #52merlinofchaos CreditAttribution: merlinofchaos commented
deltab: If that is your attitude, I have no interest in your input. There are thousands of people who maintain Drupal modules and the amount of time and energy they have to do their volunteer jobs varies. Treating them poorly helps no one.
davidwhthomas: Hm. Okay, the problem you refer to is actually about empty panes appearing if their title is overridden. That is actually completely unrelated to the issue this is about, which is about the 'panel fields' row style. Could you do me a favor and please post a new issue with the information you have?
Returning this to its previous state.
Comment #53merlinofchaos CreditAttribution: merlinofchaos commented
Actually, thanks to the bug report in #49 I was able to easily reproduce. I created a new issue at #1735216: Field API field content type incorrectly renders if title is overridden but field is empty

Danica Patrick, ...
Danica Patrick, #7 Motorola Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"Well, it wasn't the way I wanted to end the 2008 season, but that's part of racing. There were a couple on-track incidents that I got tangled up in which caused me to become a lap down. But I have to thank the Motorola crew for all their hard work this weekend. We have accomplished a great deal this year and hope to come back in 2009 stronger and better."
Tony Kanaan, #11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"Unfortunately our right-rear suspension broke and it's a real shame. I didn't hit anything and I think it was just the stress on the part. We worked really hard after struggling the first couple of days and the Team 7-Eleven car was very good for the race. I think we could have finished on the podium so we're obviously disappointed."
Marco Andretti, #26 Blockbuster Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"I think we got everything we could have out of the Blockbuster car today and that's why I'm so disappointed. We came here to try and find some road course setups but I'm not sure we were able to accomplish that. I'd be happier if the car had the potential and I was unable to get anything out of it but that wasn't the case so I'm really disappointed. We know there is a lot of work to do in the offseason. We did not perform the way we wanted to on the road courses so we have to get better - myself included - in the offseason."
Hideki Mutoh, #27 Formula Dream Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"The Formula Dream car was really good today but what got us a top-10 finish was the race strategy. The yellow came out at one point and I was able to pass a few cars and stay upfront. I'm looking forward to my second season with 2009 season with Andretti Green Racing."

A man and woman were found guilty by the Johannesburg Regional Court on Monday of assaulting their baby in 2003, Women and Men Against Child Abuse said.
"We are incredibly disappointed that they were not charged with attempted murder," said executive director Kevin Barbeau.
Bradley Connor and Malinda Marshall, now both aged 26, were ordered to return to the court for sentencing on January 27.
They were found guilty of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Both are out on bail.
Their child, Michael, who was three months old at the time of the assaults, died a blind quadriplegic at Avril Elizabeth Home on October 16.
"Sitting in court listening to everything that happened to this little boy was heartbreaking," said Barbeau.
A medical professional said he appeared to have been throttled, causing haemorrhaging and blindness.
In October 2003, Michael was admitted to hospital with injuries which raised concern that he had been abused. A social worker looked into the case, but recommended that he be returned to his parents.
In November 2003, Michael was again admitted to hospital. He was bruised, blind and brain damaged. His parents – aged 18 at the time – were questioned.
Initially Michael's mother claimed his father had abused him.
Later, she retracted this and claimed she alone was responsible for Michael's injuries.
The baby was placed in the care of the Ikhaya Tini Vorster home, where he remained until 2007.
Marshall was convicted of assaulting the child in July 15 2005, after changing her plea to not guilty.
Connor received a suspended sentence, under a plea bargain in which he admitted to not feeding the baby and to not getting medical treatment for him.
In a new trial, both were charged with attempted murder in October 2009.
Connor applied for a permanent stay of prosecution, on the basis of his previous plea bargain. This was denied.
The attempted murder charge was later commuted to assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
Marshall has since married and has three more children, all below the age of eight. – Sapa

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/2/2012 (2014 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Four quarters, five dimes, four nickels, and 30 pennies. Two dollars. The cashier at the convenience store seemed startled when I dumped this change onto the counter to pay for a quick pick lottery ticket.
Much of this change was scarred from traffic running over it and the pennies were dirty and corroded from being exposed to the elements. I explained to the cashier that over the past couple of years I had found this change in the parking lots of convenience stores. It had been carelessly left there by kids who couldn't be bothered picking up such trifles.
Well, it wasn't trifling to me. I wouldn't go as far as to say that I risked my life gathering this treasure. However, I did make a spectacle of myself by foolishly scurrying out onto the road, one eye peeled for oncoming traffic to pick up an errant copper. At one time I did considerably more walking and would pick up enough loose change, including the odd loonie to pay for a lottery ticket every couple of months. Not any more. I don't think kids are being more careful with their their change, it's just that my eyesight is not as good as it was and I don't go walking as much in productive areas.
Growing up shortly after the Depression there was no such thing as small change. It was all plenty big enough to trade at the corner store for tantalizing treats. Often we would gaze longingly at the great variety of colorful candies displayed in a glass showcase wishing we had a penny to spend.
Black balls (we didn't call them jaw breakers back then) were three for a penny. Licorice pipes and cigars were a penny apiece, as were red and black licorice whips, sour balls, candy kisses, bubble gum, and many others. BB bats (carmel suckers) were two cents each. For a nickel we could get a bag full of marvellous confections.
If we were lucky enough to have a quarter — which was too much to spend at one time — we could go on a veritable orgy of feasting. Leaving the store clutching our bag of goodies we were often waylaid by friends who were more than willing to help in the consumption of our goodies. Some of them seemed to have some sort of built-in radar system alerting them to the fact someone nearby had a bag of candy.
My back may be creaky, my knees reluctant to bend, and I may look foolish grovelling in a parking lot for a penny. However, I hope I never lose the feeling of exaltation of spotting small treasure lying in the dirt.
Or pass up the opportunity to gather in the riches carelessly left behind by those indifferent to the value of these little tokens of cheer. And who knows, maybe one day I'll win a lottery with my lucky pennies which, by the way, is the only money with which I gamble.

Bye Bye Strip Mall: 5 Design Trend Reversals We Hope Stick
4. No AccountabilityPhoto via Zimbio.com
In the past, corporations could deliver the goods without indicating what it took to got into your living room, how it would effect your health, and where it would go when it was done. But in the era of milk scandals, Bisphenol-A in baby bottles, cancer-causing formaldehyde in FIMA trailers, and overflowing landfills, that time has ended. On the grand scale, Life Cycle Assessment and Cradle to Cradle are relatively new terms, but slowly becoming the norm. Thinking about material reutilization, such as recycling or composting, is a must for a sustainable society, and many companies are slowly coming to terms with this.
5. Conspicuous ConsumptionPhoto via Flickr
Perhaps it is the global economy, perhaps it is more. But if you go to luxury retailer Hermès and slap down the cash, you can choose to carry out that $400 scarf in a discrete brown bag. With people loosing jobs and homes, conspicuous consumption--even for those that can still afford it--is on a downward spiral. The Economist reports,
Rolls-Royce's customers can still afford the £300,000 ($450,000) asking price. The problem, as Mr Purves acknowledges, is that for some buyers, the "atmospherics" of splashing out on such a conspicuous symbol of wealth do not feel quite right.While consumption may spur the economy, it also leads back to #3, too much stuff, and means we are spending valuable resources on things we don't need. Doing more with less is something we promote every day on TreeHugger--and if the rest of the world bites on to this idea, we'll all be better for it.

Marc Staal, who has missed the last ten games with a concussion, will be back in the lineup for the New York Rangers tomorrow night in Florida. Staal last played 12/7 against the New Jersey Devils, when he was injured after taking a Reid Boucher shoulder to the jaw.
With Staal back in, the question now becomes, who comes out?
It almost certainly won't be rookie Conor Allen, who made his debut last night, and played more in the third period than both Michael Del Zotto and Justin Falk. The youngster took 10 shifts in the 3rd against Tampa, twice as many has Del Zotto's 5, and 8 more than Falk, who only saw the ice twice. Alain Vigneault was complimentary of Allen after the game, and remained so today, saying, per Pat Leonard of the Daily News:
"I liked what I saw (Sunday) night. I think the fact that he wasn't jittery with the puck when people were around him and the puck wasn't bouncing. He wasn't afraid to take the hit and sometimes make those small, little bump plays, skill plays that need to be made, so you can spend less time in your end."
Unless Vigneault has a change of heart, that doesn't sound like the words of a man who intends to sit Allen, especially after Del Zotto struggled again last night and Falk hardly played.
With Anton Stralman's (left wrist/hand injury) return seemingly imminent, whether it's Del Zotto or Falk who is the low man on the totem pole may be a moot point. Stralman could be back tomorrow night as well, saying about his injury:
"We'll see about (Tuesday), hopefully it'll feel even better then. Today was definitely a step forward."
Not much was expected out of Falk this year, who was acquired merely for depth at the back end of the blue line, but the same cannot be said of Michael Del Zotto, a former first round pick. The 23-year-old has been the subject of constant trade speculation, and if he wants to stay in New York, he's quickly running out of chances to convince management he's worth keeping around.Tags: Alain Vigneault, Anton Stralman, Conor Allen, Hockey, Justin Falk, Marc Staal, Michael Del Zotto, New Jersey Devils, New York, New York Rangers, NHL

Connecting and Empowering Women Through Mentorship
May 19, 2015 | Focus on Women
I love surrounding myself with people who inspire.
Recently, I spent some time with one of the most inspirational women I know, lifelong entrepreneur Ingrid Vandervelt. Amid the hubbub of South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, she invited me to join a panel discussion on how to create opportunities for women in leadership: how women can find their voice, be authentic and work as a team to encourage change. I found myself energized by the ideas that were shared and returned from the experience determined to work harder to widen the path for women in the workplace.
It wasn't the first time I'd been inspired by Ingrid. Last year, I presented her with the first ever Northwestern Mutual Excellence in Entrepreneurship award in recognition of her goal to "Empower a Billion Women by 2020"—an effort now known as EBW2020. Through EBW2020, her vision is to provide female entrepreneurs around the globe the tools and resources they need to succeed. In particular, Ingrid hopes to see a mobile device in the hands of every woman worldwide so she can connect with others, become financially literate and fuel her personal and professional success.
At the event in Austin a few weeks ago, Ingrid announced the next phase in her plan to empower a billion women: the formal launch of a global mentorship program. Any woman anywhere in the world who wants to launch a business—or who wants to achieve a greater level of success with an existing business—can sign up to be matched with a mentor who can offer support. The online service is free and takes just a few minutes to register.
By making it easy for women around the globe to share and learn best practices, Ingrid's mentorship program will connect and empower women as never before. They'll have access to knowledge and will develop the confidence they need to be successful—both professionally and personally.
Hearing about her plan reminds me of how important it is to "pay it forward." As women and as leaders, we have an obligation to help future generations of women succeed. For some of us, that may mean participating in formal mentoring programs like the one Ingrid is starting or in one that may be in place through our employers. For others, it may simply mean being open and willing to share advice when asked. Either way, making the effort to connect with other women benefits us all; we will both inspire others and be inspired ourselves.

Wiggins injury update
Bradley Wiggins is continuing to make good progress following his road traffic accident on Wednesday.
Last Updated: 09/11/12 6:32pm
Bradley Wiggins is continuing to make good progress following his road traffic accident on Wednesday evening.
Following further examination Team Sky's medical staff can confirm that as well as bruising he also has a fractured rib, a bruised lung and a dislocated finger.
These injuries are being monitored and he will make a full and speedy recovery.
A Team Sky spokesperson said: "Bradley has already recovered from a mild head injury which required overnight observation in hospital on Wednesday.
"The swelling in his dislocated finger has also reduced and will not require surgery, and he will undergo further X-rays on his fractured rib on Monday.
"He's convalescing at home with his family and is expected to make a full recovery in a short period of time."
Thank you
Bradley Wiggins said today: "I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and messages over the last 48 hours, and of course all the staff at the Royal Preston Hospital who looked after me so well.
"Although I'm still a little bit sore I will now be spending time at home with my family and concentrating on making a full recovery.
"I would also like to apologise for the gesture that I made when I arrived home yesterday afternoon. I was tired, in a lot of pain, and just wanted to get inside, but I shouldn't have reacted the way I did. I'm sorry for that.
"I'm looking forward to getting back on the bike soon and continuing my preparations for the 2013 season."
Sutton update
Team Sky's head coach Shane Sutton was also knocked off his bike on Thursday morning and taken to hospital suffering a fractured cheekbone and bleeding on the brain.
A spokesperson for British Cycling said: "Shane is making steady progress but is likely to remain in hospital for one more day under observation.
"He has fractured his cheekbone which will require surgery in due course. He, like Bradley, is expected to make a complete recovery and will be back in work shortly."

Positive confirmation in rational and irrational learning
A new experiment is reported which tests for positive confirmation bias when subjects learn about a rule. The experiment reveals strong evidence of positive confirmation bias and corresponding violations of expected utility. This evidence for positive confirmation not only covers the search for evidence but also the use of it in making decisions. These results are consistent with and expand on previous results on the subject.

See video here on OnStar stats
There are 192 patents on the books for OnStar inventions and more are in the pipeline.
One of the patents is for the monthly email to users to report what's happening with an OnStar-equipped vehicle (Currently, OnStar sends around 3.6 million e-mails every month).
In the past 15 years, OnStar has filed 767 patent applications and averages 60 to 70 application filings each year.
OnStar's 100th patent is credited with saving General Motors about $350 million per year in warranty claims. The Captured Test Fleet program for employees uses OnStar during a new vehicle's test drive period to collect and send information directly to the test engineers.
The speed at which this data is sent to engineers allows them to make necessary improvements to a vehicle before it goes on sale to paying customers.
Another OnStar patent allows deaf, hard-of-hearing and speech-impaired people to use OnStar through a TTY (teletypewriter) compatible in-vehicle module. The module allows the driver and passengers to interact with an OnStar advisor as well as TTY users outside of the car.
OnStar Senior Systems Engineer Chris Oesterling, who helped design the OnStar Vehicle Diagnostic service that compiles data from hundreds of diagnostic codes, holds 36 patents and has 48 pending.
"One great aspect of OnStar is they really promote and nurture intellectual property development," said Oesterling. "It's fun to create and invent, but it's even better when you work somewhere like OnStar where people feel safe in their vehicle because of something you added to the service. It's pretty cool when someone comes up and says, 'You helped save my kid's life.'"

New concussion guidelines say "When in doubt, sit it out"
Posted By Patrick J. Skerrett On March 18, 2013 @ 4:21 pm In Exercise and Fitness,Mental Health,Safety | Comments Disabled
New guidelines for recognizing and managing sports-related concussions could help protect the brains of millions of athletes at all levels of play, from professional football to youth soccer.
The guidelines, released today by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), replace a now-outdated set published in 1997.
"The new guidelines are a huge step forward," said Dr. William P. Meehan III, director of the Sports Concussion Clinic at Harvard-affiliated Boston Children's Hospital, who was not involved creating the new guidelines. "They summarize the best of what we now know about concussion."
The guidelines step away from trying to "grade" concussions or diagnose them on the field or sidelines. Instead, they focus on immediately removing from play athletes who are suspected of having a concussion until they can be evaluated.
The AAN estimates that concussions cause between 1.6 million and 3.8 million mild brain injuries each year. Concussions happen when something makes the head and brain move quickly back and forth. This can be a jolt to the head, a fall, or a blow to the body. The injury changes how the brain functions. Many athletes don't get medical attention for these injuries, often because they or their coaches don't recognize the warning signs or take them seriously.
Here are some of the AAN's findings and recommendations:
The new AAN guidelines differ from the old ones in a key way. "These are solid, evidence-based guidelines based on what we know about concussion, while the earlier ones were more a consensus statement of what we believed," said Dr. Ross Zafonte, a member of the panel that developed the new guidelines and chair of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School.
That doesn't mean the new guidelines are perfect. Rigorous research in concussion was scarce until a decade or so ago, and researchers still have a lot to learn about how concussions damage the brain, how best to prevent them, and how to treat them. But the AAN's new effort is a good start.
Needed even more are clear guidelines for coaches and athletic trainers, the people who have ring-side seats to watching concussions happen and trying to deal with their aftermath. To make the guidelines truly useful, the next step for the AAN should be to translate the guidelines for coaches and trainers.
In the meantime, for any player with a suspected concussion or showing the symptoms below, "If in doubt, sit it out," said Dr. Jeffrey S. Kutcher, co-leader of the AAN guidelines panel and associate professor of neurology at the University of Michigan Medical School. "If headaches or other symptoms return with the start of exercise, stop the activity and consult a doctor."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists four categories of concussion signs and symptoms:
Physical: Headache; fuzzy or blurry vision; nausea or vomiting (early on); dizziness; sensitivity to noise or light; balance problems; feeling tired or lacking energy
Thinking/remembering: Difficulty thinking clearly; feeling slowed down; difficulty concentrating; difficulty remembering new information
Emotions/mood: Irritability; sadness; being more emotional than usual; nervousness or anxiety
Sleep: Sleeping more or less than usual; trouble falling asleep
Some symptoms appear right away, others may not be noticed for days or months after the injury.

French energy major GDF Suez has joined struggling international coal seam gas player
GDF's exploration and production business will take a 25 per cent stake in 13 licences currently 100 per cent owned by Dart, which cover almost 1400 square kilometres.
The deal relates to about 38 per cent of Dart's total UK exploration acreage and reduces the Australian company's net acreage holding by about a tenth.
GDF Suez is paying Dart $US12 million in cash for the interests and will also cover Dart's 75 per cent share of costs up to $US27 million to cover a three-year exploration and appraisal program, including 14 shale gas and coal seam gas wells.
Dart is being forced to sell off stakes in assets to shore up its funding position, having dropped plans for an international listing of its overseas business earlier this year.
The licences covered by the farm-out deal involve prospective shale gas acreage in the Bowland Basin in Lancashire, widely seen as the highest potential of the UK's shale regions, as well as coalbed methane acreage.
Dart said the two companies have also agreed a broader cooperation deal focused on unconventional gas, particularly shale gas.
GDF's head of global gas and LNG Jean-Marie Dauger said the company was "very confident" about the potential of shale gas in the UK. He said the deal with Dart represented GDF's first investment in UK shale gas.
The Australian Financial Review
