Steroid-induced Mood Changes in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

- How to Read a Study Record
|Inflammatory Bowel Disease 11
|Drug: Prednisone
|Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
|Official Title:
|Steroid-induced Mood Changes in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Determination of steroid-induced mood changes. [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed up until they taper their steroid dose, average of 6 weeks ]Incidence rate of steroid-induced mood changes (as defined by BDI-II score increase by 10 points, or manic/hypomanic symptoms with ISS activation score increase by 50 points) will be determined. The score from validated scales will be analyzed using t-test to determine if there is any statistically significant change from baseline after institution of steroid treatment. Total scores as well as modified scale scores (after removing gastrointestinal symptoms that may be influenced by IBD activities) will be compared. Descriptive analyses will also be performed.
|Study Start Date:
|October 2013
|Study Completion Date:
|August 2016
|Primary Completion Date:
|May 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Participants who are started on Prednisone 40 mg per day for 2 weeks and then tapered.
Drug: Prednisone
Participants will be started on oral prednisone 40mg/day for two weeks as per standard of practice in IBD management, before starting a tapering course.
Other Name: Prednisone 40 mg
Detailed Description:
Patients who are eligible to participate in the study are invited. Before starting prednisone therapy, the following data are collected: basic demographic data (age, gender), education history, past medical history (particularly IBD history such as age of diagnosis and previous treatments/surgery), current medications/non-prescription drugs will be collected. IBD activity is measured by Harvey-Bradshaw Index for Crohn's Disease and Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) for all subjects with Ulcerative Colitis. Subjects are asked to complete self-administered surveys --- Internal State Scale (ISS) for patients to self-report mood states including depressive, manic, or mixed states and Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) for screening depression
Two weeks after starting Prednisone 40 mg/day and at the end of steroid taper, IBD activity will be measured by Harvey-Bradshaw Index for Crohn's Disease and Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) for all subjects with Ulcerative Colitis. Self-administered surveys --- Internal State Scale (ISS) and Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) are completed.
It is possible that a new diagnosis of an underlying psychiatric disorder may be discovered as a result of participating in this study. In the event that an underlying psychiatric disorder is suspected based on the results of the questionnaires on the first visit (BDI-II ≥21 moderate depression or ISS Activation scale ≥ 155), the patient would be offered the option for an expedited formal psychiatric referral. This will not exclude them from the study unless therapy is deemed necessary by the consulting psychiatrist.
Should patients develop significant mood changes impairing daily/social functioning during the study as a result of steroid therapy, they will be assessed urgently by attending gastroenterologist and if necessary, in consultation with a psychiatrist to determine the best course of action, which may include cessation of steroid therapy or addition of psychiatric therapy. Otherwise, less significant mood changes will be monitored closely as these may be expected to resolve upon discontinuation of steroid therapy.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|19 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Outpatients with active Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease being initiated on oral prednisone for treatment of their IBD.
- Age 19 or greater
- Must be able to read and understand English
- Must be capable of providing informed written consent
Exclusion Criteria:

Something Better
I have a man
and our minds tick to the same clock.
We have a jar of weeds
with little purple blossoms
on the front porch.
We have a larder
with two pounds of butter
and plenty of sugar.
We have days of hard work
and pleasure.
Rolly-pollies, crickets, dandelions
Snap peas and potatoes,
Strawberries and mint.
We have a garden of white blossoms
over our heads.
Touching his arm, I say,
"Look up through the garden
to the clouds snagged in the branches."

overall great phone
Customer has owned it for less than year before publishing this review
I originally had the Rugby 1 and took it down float trips and the river. When it was time for a upgrade i went with the Rugby 2. The only problem i have had with it is the battery cover was cheaply designed unlike the first Rugby. My battery does great until i get into a area with no signal then it drains it.

Our company recently completed a mass upgrade of all field technician phones to the new Samsung Rugby 2 - approximately 400 units. We have had major issues from the start. Dropped calls, poor reception, defective speaker, poor battery life, inability to hold a charge, inability to receive text messages, etc. We are very unhappy with this product and would not recommend it. It has gotten to the point in which Samsung has had to recall the units and replace them with a new batch. Our next upgrade will not include any product from Samsung.Build quality 2/10Reception 2/10Call quality 2/10Internet 2/10Multimedia 2/10Camera 5/10UI speed 2/10Everyday usage 2/10Text input 2/10Display 4/10Battery 2/10

i give it 8 out of 10. ive washed mine off in a creek while fishing. i dropped it in the mud and rinsed it off in the sink. i abused it pretty good. im a contractor so you can imagine how many times ive dropped it and so on. the only drawback ive found was the volume of the ringer. it was tough to hear when there was noise around you even when set on outside at its loudest position. overall it held up better than any phone ive owned. i justed ordered the rugby 2 and i will post a review on it after ive abused it for a bit.Design 8/10Features 8/10Performance 8/10

hope the Rugby II better than the Rugby I
My Rugby I was a good phone for 2 months before getting stuck in a rainstorm and the phone was in my pocket. The humidity and moisture got into the LCD and fogged it up and fried the LCD. I had thought these phone were better than other cells with water and dirt, but after having mine die, i'm not so sure. I would not spend extra money to buy one thinking that it would hold up better than other non military grade phones.Design 3/10Features 4/10Performance 2/10

Clear blue skies and searing heat set the mood at Zilker Park as the Austin City Limits Music Festival set off on its 11th annual incarnation. 75,000-plus festivalgoers celebrated the sold-out return of ACL early in the day with sets from Delta Spirit and captivating soul-rocker LP.
Check out our Day Two ACL coverage!
LP, who is finally getting her day in the sun (quite literally, in cases like this) after penning classic-hit songs for the likes of Rihanna and Christina Aguilera, commanded the stage with a diminutive physicality that defied her booming, soulful delivery. Dressed like a female 60s-era Dylan, her image led with a big mop of black and sunglasses as she pulled from her two existing albums and upcoming third, and performed an enthralling version of Beyonce's "Halo".
Check out our exclusive interview with LP at Austin City Limits 2012!
Cover songs are always winning festival fare, guaranteed to boost a crowd reaction. Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit took liberty with the trick on a gorgeous cover of Paul Simon's "America," while EDM sensation AVICII opened his set with a stellar mix of The Who's "Baba O'Riley". The man presses play and waves his arms around to the music just like the rest of us (ahh, 2012 live music…), but few people were paying any attention to the DJ, who was perched in a booth atop a giant porcelain face that displayed psychedelically captivating 3D images across its surfaces, synced to musical cues.
Weezer's first appearance at ACL Fest started off on slightly shaky ground, with "My Name Is Jonas" resonating with OG fans and few others, while cheesy new hit "Memories" faltered in its conveyance to the capacity crowd. "Surf Wax America" brought everyone around, however, as the perfect festival singalong brought the Summer vibrations back to life. With high temperatures and a blazing sun overhead, it certainly didn't feel like Fall in Zilker Park.
At the BMI stage, Patterson Hood (from Drive-by Truckers) drew a tough straw in being scheduled to perform at the same time as Florence + the Machine, but rose to the challenge with an impressive set of alternative country and Southern rock.
Pulling a wide variety from their two albums – Lungs and Ceremonials – Florence + The Machine ran through gorgeous yet familiar paces in their set, which was the final U.S. date on the band's extensive tour. Frontwoman Florence Welch interacted with the crowd in much the same way she had at Music Midtown, Lollapalooza and various dates between, imploring fans to hug each other, to make out, to climb atop each others' shoulders.
Appealing to enchantment and ethereal love, Welch swept across the stage like a Disney goddess in a green velvet gown as they opened with "Only If for a Night" and ran through favorites including "Cosmic Love," a gripping "Shake It Out" and a deafening-singalong-inducing closer "Dog Days Are Over".
The Black Keys headlined the night, and with nearly the entire festival audience in attendance the Akron blues duo – accompanied by an additional guitarist and bassist – tore through every one of their extensive catalogue of radio hits. The performance was passionate – particularly in a beautifully lengthy guitar intro to "Girl Is On My Mind" and an utterly haunting beginning to latest hit "Little Black Submarines".
However, after having recently seen festival headliner veterans Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam engage their audience in electrifying fashion, I couldn't help but be disappointed in the lack of energy exchange between audience and artist during the Keys' set. Auerbach wasn't standoffish, and the crowd was more than engaged, but there was a disconnect on some intangible level. Is it the single-flavor essence of the music that doesn't emotionally enrapture people like the aforementioned bands, or something more?
Whatever the case, the Black Keys delivered another powerful night-closing festival experience, setting the bar on professional execution that Jack White, Neil Young, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and more will meet later this weekend. See you there!

Legendary five-eighths Laurie Daley and Darren Lockyer have warned Raiders fullback Josh Dugan to expect a defensive litmus test when he moves into the No.6 jersey against Wests Tigers on Saturday night.
Daley admitted there are several ''question marks'', in particular his lack of match fitness and injured shoulder, that Dugan must overcome to make a successful transition to the halves. Dugan missed four matches this season with a ruptured shoulder joint, which he is still nursing, and was stood down for last week's loss to Souths for breaching the Raiders' alcohol policy.
And Daley has no doubt the Tigers will be desperate to ''suck the juice'' out of Dugan in his first NRL start in the front line as early as possible.
''It'll knock him around, I'd be surprised if he's not making at least 20-25 tackles in this game,'' Daley said yesterday.
''The Tigers will be running a lot of traffic his way to tire him out a bit.
''His decisions under fatigue, he hasn't played a lot of footy, his shoulder hasn't been great … there are a lot of question marks.
''They'd be mad not to throw a lot of traffic at him, he can expect a lot but he can play his part as well.
''While they will run at him, if he can be dominant in his game they could be beating their head up against a brick wall.''
One of the best attacking players in the game, the major reason behind Dugan's switch to the front line in place of dumped half Sam Williams is to stiffen the Raiders' leaky left-side defence.
Daley advised Dugan to back his instincts and be wary of confusing himself by trying to process too much information this week.
''He has to be very clear on what he needs to do, keep it simple and get those things right, then his natural talent will take over,'' Daley said.
''The big thing for him is not to neglect his running game, but if he's engaging the line and making decisions with simple plays, he'll go well.
''You don't want a rehearsed play put on for the sake of it, otherwise you're just going through the motions and not confusing the defence.
''Sometimes you find when you're playing five-eighth you do things on the back of natural ability rather than certain plans.''
Lockyer, the last player to successfully move from fullback to five-eighth, agreed the greater defensive workload is Dugan's biggest obstacle.
''At fullback you make probably half a dozen tackles and in the halves anywhere up to 20, that's the main difference,'' Lockyer said.
''When you play fullback you're very fit aerobically because you do a lot of running, you don't do a lot of tackling and wrestling [compared to five-eighth], which is a different style of fitness.
''It will probably take him a good month of footy to get used to the different style of game.''
Lockyer insists Dugan doesn't need to dramatically overhaul his attacking game this weekend.
''When I was playing fullback I still liked to ball play a lot, so in terms of playing with the footy it wasn't a massive change for me, just the defence,'' Lockyer said.
''You want to encourage him to play his natural game, and not make him too structured because that's not where his assets lie.
''There will be some structure that will go into his game, but the advantage will be his running game and his ability to offload and create some second phase play.''
Lockyer doesn't expect Dugan's move to be permanent, with injured five-eighth Terry Campese to return next season.
''With the injuries they've had down there they've had to make some changes,'' he said.
''I don't think he'll overplay it.''

Carnival is for Kids: Carnival Victory Cruise Review by Ernest Carlton
Overall Member Rating
Carnival is for Kids
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Our cruise started with the short drive from Tampa to Miami in our one day rental minivan. With parking at the Miami port running $20 per day, I found it easier and cheaper to rent a van on www.priceline.com than to drive and park. I let the wife and girls out at the port and returned the van to the rental car agency with no problems. If you decide to rent a car to drive to the port be sure to get one that offers a free shuttle to the cruise port. Alamo does just that.
Embarkation was a breeze. Less than fifteen minutes after I rejoined the family, we were More aboard the Victory and looking for the buffet line. Carnival always has good food and this cruise was no exception. During the entire cruise, we had excellent food and great service. The pizza and ice cream that was always available added to our enjoyment and weight. While I usually have no problem with overeating on a cruise, I returned from this one about four pounds heavier.
After dining and going to the show the first night we were ready to hit the hay as midnight approached. Our inside cabin was a little small but the lack of a window allowed us to sleep late each morning which was good. The bed was just right and we had no trouble in sleeping every night of the cruise except one. One night, strange noises were heard lasting well into the early morning. The next morning we were told that the noises was coming from the cabin above us where they were replacing the carpet which had to be scraped off the floor. That could have waited until the next day when people were not trying to sleep
The girls had a ball. They enjoyed exploring the islands, parasailing and doing the many things there were to do on shore as well as on the "at sea" days. The big screen movies on deck seemed to be a big hit and played to standing room only crowds. When we were docked at St. Maarten right next to a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, many of the Royal Caribbean passengers were watching our movie from their ship. The production shows were outstanding. The cruise director, Malcolm, was one of the best we have ever had in 35 cruises. The comedians were a mixed bag but did make us laugh at times. Since we had been to the islands a number of times we stayed pretty close to the ship. However, I heard nothing but good reports from those that went on tours.
Carnival saved their best feature until the last day of the cruise, the self express debarkation. This was our first experience with this type of debarkation. As soon as the ship was cleared, those passengers that wanted to carry their luggage ashore could leave the ship immediately. My wife and I and the two girls carried our luggage, boarded the shuttle to the rental car agency, loaded the car and headed home. We were half way home by the time we would have been coming down the gangway of other cruise lines. All cruise lines should mimic Carnival's debarkation procedures.
There is no such thing as a bad cruise, however, and if you cruise with Carnival when school is out, be prepared to have vast numbers of children around. Since children usually stay in cabins with parents the size of the passenger's list jumps dramatically. To cope with this we ate a number of lunch and breakfast meals in the dining room. The buffet lines were just too long. Children go everywhere at a gallop and make a lot of noise running down the hallways. Children ignore signs and were found in the adult only hot tub with not a word from the crew or their parents.
Water aerobics was out of the question for my wife. Every pool was filled with kids jumping and running around. Carnival seems to encourage loud and unruly people since they seem to equate "fun" with noise.
When Malcolm mentioned at the past passengers get together that Carnival was considering an adults only cruise, he was met with thunderous applause. He then called us "mean". No, Malcolm, we are not mean. We are just old enough to see the fun in quietness.
We will cruise with Carnival again since you cannot beat the value. However, it will be when school is in session. For now we will be sailing on the Grand Princess in April looking for those lazy quiet sea days as we go trans-Atlantic. Less

Long Awaited iPad 3 Introduced
March 9, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Wednesday March 7, 2012 was a truly memorable day for Apple history. Apple announced that they would be releasing their iPad 3 on March 16.
Apple held a media event at the Yerba Buena center for the Arts in San Francisco where they introduced both their iPad 3 and an updated Apple T.V. set-top box. Many improvements have been made to better the iPad and all of its features. This new version is said to have a sharper, higher-definition display. In addition, rumors have been spread according to Fox News that there will be, "a new touch-screen technology." In other words, the true texture of the object on the screen will feel as it really does in reality.
Apple is taking photography to a higher level with the iPad 3. A majority of the high-resolution pictures are going to look more defined than ones on the previous iPads due to a supposed better camera. These cameras are going to have 5-mega pixel backlight, illuminated censors, and five stage lenses. A final new aspect consumers are hoping for is a 4G wireless connection, which will allow the iPad to use faster wireless networking. With this wireless networking, the new iPad will be a hotspot for connecting up to five devices including MacBook Air, an iPod touch, or another iPad. Despite their differences, the iPad 3 will have similarities to the previous iPads. They will both be sold for the same price, as well as have the same screen size. The price ranges from $499 for a 16GB, $599 for 32 GB and $699 for 64 GB.
The improved Apple T.V. set-top box, also introduced at the media event, is now going to be able to stream video in full, 1080p high definition. From the outside, the previous and new set-top box are identical. However, on the inside the more developed version will contain Apple's A5 processor, which differs from the older product. This is what will allow the new T.V to allow streaming from Netflix,Youtube, Vimeo, and iTunes, a technique desired by Apple users.
Although many rumors have been spreading, they will soon come to rest when society is able to purchase the iPad 3 on March 16 and create their own opinions. According to the rumors, no one will be disappointed.

Rushdie delight at India visit
Indian-born British author Salman Rushdie has made his first public appearance in the land of his birth in more than 12 years.
It was his first visit since the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a death edict, or fatwa, against him in February 1989.
But hundreds of Muslims protested
against his presence and took to the streets, chanting slogans against the author.
His latest book, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, is among four shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, due to be awarded at a ceremony in the Indian capital, Delhi.
Mr Rushdie is being accompanied by his son Zafar. He said he was delighted to be back and wanted to show his son a country he had not seen.
"I have come here to renew a broken connection," Mr Rushdie told a news conference.
Mr Rushdie is attending the gala award ceremony for this year's winner of the Commonwealth Writer's Prize and is one of the favourites to take the award.
The BBC's Daniel Lak says security is extremely tight but Mr Rushdie was seen mixing freely with the guests, many of whom welcomed him warmly.
Angry protests
Earlier, Muslim demonstrators gathered after Friday prayers in Old Delhi and marched to an area traditionally used for protests near the Indian parliament.
"The heretic who has insulted Islam and our prophet Mohammad ... should never have got a visa to India," said a Muslim politician, Shoaib Iqbal.
A strong contingent of armed policemen stopped the protesters as they tried to break free of a police cordon.
Indian roots
Mr Rushdie has wanted to return to India, the inspiration for most of his work, for more than a decade.
But it was only last year that the Indian Government agreed to grant him a visa, fearing unrest among the country's substantial Muslim population.
He recently won a legal case, giving him control of family property near the Himalayas in northern India, and he expressed a desire to visit his ancestral home.
He reportedly arrived in India one week ago, although government officials refused to confirm his itinerary.
It is not known exactly where he has been on this trip, or what he has been doing.
Press reports have placed him in the tourist city of Jaipur, west of Delhi, and in Simla, the summer capital of British India.

An Evans man was sentenced to 15 years in prison Thursday after pleading guilty to vehicular homicide for a 2010 wreck that killed a Grovetown woman.
Daniel Edwin Morales, 40, pleaded guilty to first-degree vehicular homicide related to reckless driving and serious injury by vehicle in connection to the November 2010 wreck in which Phyllis Autry, 54, died and her husband, Paul Autry, was seriously injured.
Superior Court Judge J. David Roper sentenced Morales to 15 years in prison followed by 15 years of probation, per a plea agreement with the district attorney's office.
"I apologize with all my heart," Morales told Autry's family at the hearing. "I've wished so many times that I could have taken her place."
About 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 20, 2010, the Autrys were driving east on Washington Road near Blanchard Road when Morales hit them head-on. He was driving between 74 and 94 mph on the wrong side of the road.
"There were many, many injuries," Assistant District Attorney Geoffrey Fogus said, adding that the Autrys both had to be extricated from the wreckage. "It was chaos out there that day."
Morales' Volkswagen ricocheted into another truck, where the driver and passenger were not injured.
He was indicted on nine charges including vehicular homicide, serious injury by vehicle, driving under the influence of drugs, reckless driving and driving too fast for conditions.
Phyllis Autry died at the hospital from blunt-force injuries, including a torn aorta. Her husband was seriously injured, sustaining numerous fractures. He is still unable to walk and requires more surgeries.
Paul Autry spoke at the sentencing hearing, where he asked Roper to give Morales the maximum 30-year prison sentence.
"My (physical) pain is nothing," he said. "Phyllis was more than my wife, she was my hero. ... She was my best friend. When she died, I died."
The couple would have celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary three days after the wreck.
Morales' attorney, Pete Theodocion, said that though Morales had marijuana and amphetamines in his system at the time of the wreck, drugs did not impair his driving. Because he'd stayed up late the night before, Theodocion said, Morales fell asleep at the wheel.
"He shouldn't have been behind the wheel in that state," Theodocion said, adding that Morales takes responsibility for the wreck by agreeing to the plea.
As part of the plea agreement, he will pay Paul Autry restitution above and beyond what medical costs his insurance company would cover. That amount will be determined at a later hearing.
Morales was originally released on bond. He was arrested and held without bond in September 2011, when he was arrested for driving about 100 mph while under the influence on Interstate 20.

Pot Sticker Dumplings
READY IN: 1hr 15mins
Recipe by Terese
Top Review by Cilantro in Canada
These are excellent. I was out of ginger so I left it out but I think it would only enhance the flavour further. I did add some minced garlic though, and I steamed them in chicken broth. These are quite easy to make but are a bit time consuming to assemble. I made about 90 of these and my husband, son and I finished them of in one day. Thanks for the recipe.

Try To Remember
Great song from a long running show in USA that nobody here in UK seems to know about...yet it played the West End for quite a while! Song has gentle tune and lyric, which reminds us all to try to remember the good times of life...as when December (older age!) comes it is good to remember the warmer days of May (younger days). Nedds someone to make it into an SATB a cappella number! Any offers?

I was an early adopter of the home version of voice recognition software Dragon Naturally Speaking - and an early detester of the program. I purchased one of the first versions in 1997 to help me work on my first book. To train the system to recognize your voice, you had to read multiple passages during setup, then you had to keep training as you tried to work. I say "tried" because most of my time was spent starting with half a sentence, seeing Dragon make an error, then repeating, "Delete that, change that, delete that," until the program got it right. I gave up on Dragon within a month after I spent an entire Saturday morning determined to make it work and ended up hoarse, angry and fed up.
Flash forward almost 25 years, and we have Siri, a pleasantly perky voice recognition system built into the iPhone 4S. You can speak to Siri as if she's a personal assistant or even a friend, and she translates commands and questions into actions easily and with amazing accuracy.
Siri is transforming the lives of smartphone users, with many late iPhone adopters finally taking the plunge and gleefully chatting with their phones, amazed at how far technology has come. But the late, great Steve Jobs is really not the first to transform the world of voice recognition and transcription software, and those of us who haven't upgraded first have other options to take advantage of this advanced technology.
Three worthy voice recognition/transcription tools:
• Dragon Smartphone Apps (free): I gave Dragon Naturally Speaking a skeptical second chance when it released Dragon Dictation for iPhones. This free app lets me quickly dictate a text message or even a whole email that I can send with just a couple of clicks. Gone are the days of training a system to understand one particular voice; Dragon Dictation is amazingly accurate and easy to use.
Now Dragon has released "Dragon Go!," also free. Dragon Go! looks to be a direct competitor to Siri, allowing you to use natural speech patterns to search for sushi restaurants near you or directions to the football stadium.
• Vonage phone service ($25.99/month): When I switched from my landline to Vonage, I was pleasantly surprised by a new feature - call transcription. Every message is transcribed and emailed, so I rarely have to listen to recordings. I'd say the transcriptions are about 75% accurate, but that's usually enough to help me understand the gist and get back to the caller.
• Livescribe Smartpens (from $99): A Livescribe Smartpen is actually not a speech-to-text tool, but it's a technological marvel nonetheless. Use the Smartpen to record audio while you take handwritten notes, and the two are forever linked to capture all the important parts of a meeting. Additional software allows you to convert your handwritten notes to typed text. Many users are asking for the speech-to-text tool, so I would expect that company to develop something reliable soon. For now, they recommend Dragon Naturally Speaking – as do I.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/1/2014 (1317 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Goldeyes have acquired infielder Ryan Pineda from the Sioux City Explorers in exchange for pitcher Kaohi Downing.
Pineda split his time last season between the Grand Prairie AirHogs and Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, hitting .288 with six home runs and 49 RBI in 95 American Association games.
Pineda played every infield position except first base in 2013 and also saw playing time in left field.
"We got to see him a little bit during training camp last year when we were playing the RedHawks and I really liked the way he played against us," Fish manager Rick Forney said in a statement released by the team on Wednesday. "He swung the bat really well. He has the potential to be a young impact bat and, in the right situation, be a 20 doubles and 10 home runs type of guy. He's a guy that has a lot of value."
Pineda -- a 28th round pick by the Oakland Athletics in 2010 -- is well travelled lately. After starting the 2013 season with Fargo, Pineda finished up the year with Texas-based Grand Prairie, who then shipped him back to Fargo at season's end. Fargo then shipped him to the Explorers in Sioux City, Iowa, who in turn shipped him to Winnipeg in exchange for Downing.
Downing, 27, spent the last two seasons in the Goldeyes bullpen, going 8-6 with a 3.97 ERA in 79 appearances.
AAA midget loop salutes stars
The MFMHL announced their goaltender of the month for December and player of the week on Wednesday.
The goalie of the month is Elisha Oswald of the Central Plains Capitals, who has a record of 7-1-2, a goal-against average of 1.55 and a save percentage of .928 this season. In her third season with the Capitals, Oswald holds team records for games played (77), wins (37) and shutouts (13).
The MFMHL player of the week for the week ending Jan. 5 is Jalin Adams of the Yellowhead Chiefs, who scored the game-winning goals in both Chiefs wins over the weekend. Adams, a Grade 11 student at Neepawa Area Collegiate, has eight goals and seven assists this season.
Bisons skaters players of week
Fifth-year forwards Kyleigh Palmer and Ian Duval are the Manitoba Bisons players of the week for the week ending Jan. 5.
Palmer scored three goals, including an overtime winner, and fired 16 shots during a two-game Manitoba sweep of home games against the Saskatchewan Huskies on Jan. 3-4. Palmer is now tied for fifth in Canada West scoring with 10 goals and five assists.
Duval recorded assists on four of Manitoba's six goals in a pair of games against the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon on Jan. 3-4. Duval had three assists in a 5-4 shootout loss last Friday and had another assist the next night in a 3-2 loss.

HP launches FB7600 Industrial Press
The flatbed HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press has been launched with fanfare at the SGIA Expo along with the roll-to-roll 5m XP5500 and 3.2m XP2500.
Though an Upgrade Kit is available to users of the earlier FB7500 the new FB7600 is more than just a new version of its forerunner. At 55 beds per hour, the HP Scitex FB7600 is 15% faster than the FB7500 (optimum speed, 48 beds per hour).
With an edge-to-edge printing feature the newcomer can print sheets up to 3200 x 1650mm (126 x 65in) with full bleeds up to 6.35mm (0.25in). New front-end software features include hot folders for print files, job queuing, and automated file preparation. Minimal operator intervention is required for material handling, too, where an optional multi-sheet loading table enables the simultaneous printing of up to four sheets, enabling PSPS to turnaround large volumes of work faster.
The FB7600 can print on popular plastic and coated materials including PVC, Styrene, PP, PC, PE, PETG, Yupo, and Alu-Dibond. New HP FB225 Scitex inks have been developed to achieve high-quality results on these materials via increased flexibility that greatly reduces chipping and cracking on applications during cutting and folding.
Thinner substrates are also now easier to handle thanks to a new 'Slow Loading' feature and a 'Press Roller' that helps to flatten media during loading. A 'Flattening Flexible Media' feature finally helps to eliminate wrinkles on soft media on the bed, further increasing output quality.
Other new features include double-sided printing, a new saturation control for back-lit displays and the 'Image-2' facility. Double-sided printing on the HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press is made simple by the ability to align media either left or right using alignment rulers on both sides of the multi-sheet loading table.
Back-lit applications requiring additional saturation will no longer take additional time to print as a simple adjustment on the press' user interface to change the saturation percentage will increase ink coverage without any reduction in speed. Up to 200% saturation is possible with this control.
The ability to print two different images in the same job has previously required a second pass through the press. With the Image-2 feature on the HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press, two different images using different printing parameter can be printed in a single pass. This could be the addition of a double strike, a 3D effect, application of spot gloss, or other value-adding enhancements.
Those buying a FB7600 have the option of three levels of support that comprises customer resolution tools to enable operators to diagnose issues and resolve them using the Print Care interface.
Image Factory, which installed an HP Scitex FB7500 Industrial Press earlier this year, became a beta site for the HP Scitex FB7600 upgrade and new HP FB225 Scitex ink in August.
"The new features of the FB7600 upgrade make offering both speed and quality at a competitive price possible," said Tim Boore, head of digital technologies, Image Factory. "The ability to print 55 beds per hour increases productivity without compromising quality. The new edge-to-edge printing feature is fantastic! It saves time, reduces material waste and potential damage during additional finishing processes. The press' self-diagnostics and new three-minute circulation to clear print heads are other features that have been of huge benefit. While we were pleased with the previous inks, the new FB225 ink is far more flexible and has eliminated the chipping and cracking that could sometimes occur with the gloss settings. "
The new UV-curable, four-colour XP2500 will print up to 265m2/hr and the XP5500 up to 325m2/hr. Both have a print resolution up to 360dpi and will simultaneously print on up to three rolls.

The longer I have worn my baby, the more benefits I seem to find for baby wearing. My favourite aspects of baby wearing are:
Closeness: being able to see my baby at face level and communicate with him easily.
Calming: I use baby wearing to settle my baby - he seems really confident and relaxed when he is in the carrier.

Sound — 8
Hugh Laurie's debut album, "Let Them Talk", is clearly a labour of love for the celebrated actor. The album consists of a compilation of classic blues songs, many of them originating in his favoured city of New Orleans. Hugh Laurie, most famously known as Dr. Greg House and for his long comedy pedigree in such works as "Blackadder" and "A Bit Of Fry And Laurie", brings us his own reworkings and covers of blues songs. His skills as both a pianist and a guitarist have been showcased in a number of episodes of House so I was quite pleased to hear that he had decided to put out a blues record. Laurie's piano skills are more than a match for a number of clearly accomplished musicians, including guest performances from legends such as Tom Jones. I can't help get the feeling that there is too much going on in the background of the songs; a clear contrast to the more stripped down blues sound of the genre's more modern mainstream artists like The Black Keys. There are some moments where the variation of instruments work extremely well. The song "After You've Gone" (feat. Dr. John!) is an excellent example of how with a reduced palette of instruments the skill of Hugh Laurie's piano work, and that of the saxophonist, comes through much more clearly and makes for a far less confusing experience. There is, one might suggest, a certain lack of consistency with the choice of the instruments that feels a touch awkward when one first progresses through the album. Sudden shifts from piano-based blues to guitar-based blues might be a minor quibble but I certainly found it a touch disorienting. Given the length of the album (just shy of an hour), it seems plausible that he could've put out one guitar-based album and one piano-based album which would have made for not only more consistent records but also excellent marketing. The instruments themselves are beautifully recorded and I haven't had any concerns about tone or sound quality beyond the small misgivings previously mentioned. In fact, part of the reason the, in my opinion, excessive layering of instruments irks me is that, with such crisp and responsive recordings, it seems a shame not to allow the listener to really sit back and enjoy the sound quality.
Lyrics — 6
The songs are classics and as such the lyrics are long-standing. I think it would be unfair to assess the album of covers on the lyrics so I will refrain from discussing them further. Hugh Laurie is a competent but perhaps not entirely confident singer. I get the feeling that he could use a little vocal training to open his voice up a little more. It currently has a nasal quality that, whilst not entirely unpleasant, does perhaps indicate he could use some coaching. Aside from this, he hits his notes well and with emotion. The occasional laugh and "hah" caught by the microphones is a very pleasant addition and is warming in the same way that can be found on many older records; no doubt a deliberate inclusion by the ever astute Laurie. The guest singers provide excellent performers, as might be expected from such long-standing professional vocalists.
Overall Impression — 7
The album has grown on me significantly. It has a warm, upbeat sound to it that provides a relaxing listen. However, it is only an album that I enjoy, I don't find myself enamoured by it. I think it perhaps suffers from simply being an album of covers; if I want to listen to "St. James Infirmary", I'll listen to Louis Armstrong's version. I think Hugh Laurie enjoys playing the songs and I think this is also an effort to introduce others to songs that he loves. Both are excellent reasons to record them, I just hope that Hugh takes the opportunity to record an album of his own songs. I think it is safe to say this marks the first major step of Mr. Laurie's expansion from dramatic acting, comedy and writing into the realms of professional music. Onwards, Hugh! Onwards to polymathicism!

European banks have put large parts of their Australian loan books up for sale as they face escalating funding pressures in their home markets, a move that could reduce the supply of credit to Australian companies and increase borrowing costs.
More than $1 billion of corporate and infrastructure loans are already on the market with France's largest bank, BNP Paribas, and Spain's banking giant Banco Santander joining others such as Dexia Bank, Bank of Ireland and Societe Generale that are reducing Australian loan exposures, sources told Financial Review DealBook.
BNP Paribas is testing appetite for its corporate loan book and has entered negotiations to sell parcels of loans to recently financed infrastructure projects such as the $2.5 billion loan to the Royal Adelaide Hospital project, South Australia's largest public private partnership project, the $3.6 billion Victoria desalination plant loan; and the $810 million loan backing the ports operator DP World Australia, according to banking sources, who said sale discussions were confidential.
The assets on the block, which include loans to local power stations, are expected to be sold at small discounts to par value to reflect the widening of credit spreads.
BNP Paribas has also held back from lending in recent months. It dropped out of the banking syndicate for the $US12.5 billion SABMiller takeover of
The sales are an about-face for the European banks, which dominated the syndicated loan market in Australasia heading into the global financial crisis. In 2007, they accounted for more than 35 per cent of loans but dropped to just 16 per cent this year as US dollar-funding costs increased. European banks accounted for 20 per cent of the $US67 billion of wholesale lending in Australia during the first three quarters of 2011.
European banks are big players in the short-term money markets and have experienced a dramatic rise in borrowing costs in foreign currencies the past four months, especially in US dollars.
"I think a direct consequence of the higher USD funding costs of banks is that prices will rise, borrowers will have to pay a higher price for their loans." said Atul Sodhi, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank head, global loan syndication group Asia Pacific.
Credit Agricole will remain doing project finance and leverage finance in Australia, Mr Sodhi said.
"We would continue to look for the deals that are priced correctly, structured correctly, and that make sense from our point of view."
Furthermore, liquidity in overnight US dollar funding as reflected by the FRA-OIS spread (a measure of short term liquidity in money markets) has been reaching levels not seen in June last year.
"This spread of 71.5 bp compares with levels of around 8-15 bp in the years immediately before the GFC, and represents a direct cost to the banks funding books." said fixed income analyst Sean Keane of TTT Consulting and former head of Asia-Pacific rates trading at Credit Suisse.
Rising future USD LIBOR rates are also reflecting the market's view that the price of short-term, unsecured credit for commercial banks is going to continue increasing over the next year, he said.
Phil Lipton, HSBC head of syndicated finance, Asia Pacific, is speaking at the Asia Pacific Syndicated Loan Market Outlook Roundtable in Hong Kong today.
Asian banks had increasingly filled the void left by the Europeans, he said.
"I think if this had happened a few years ago, there would be more concern because the European banks tended to dominate the market, but it is less so now," Mr Lipton said.
"Their proportion of loans that they take out is much smaller that they used to be. The Asian banks have now become active in the syndicated market."
"We are seeing a lot of volume going through," he said. "While the big Australian banks and the larger active international banks are able to anchor the deals with sizeable holds, there is definitely still interest from other parts of Asia as well, in good quality Australian names."
This year, European banks including BNP Paribas and Societe General, announced global plans to reduce their balance sheets to comply with new global banking regulations.
Recently, BNP Paribas reduced the size of its Australian book to $10.9 billion, down from $13 billion in July. Australian Prudential Regulation Authority figures show the reduction has been mainly derived from the trading securities segment, which counts assets significantly more liquid than project and corporate loans.
If the banks reducing their books pull back from lending to new transactions, it could reduce the supply of debt and increase costs for companies and infrastructure projects.
"This has implications on global growth, big time, and not just for Australian companies," said a credit portfolio manager of one of the Australian banks.
"If you look at what the banking regulators have asked banks to do, that is to cut back on their risk weighted assets by a substantial amount or raise a lot of capital in equity markets at really expensive levels," he said.
Banco Santander, which has lent to Australian companies and projects through its representative offices in Australia, is seeking to sell about $200 million in loan assets, according to people with knowledge of that sale process. The loans for sale include exposures to project loans such as the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Victoria's desalination plant, and corporate loans in the region. A spokesman declined to comment.
While smaller than BNP in Australia, Santander's local loan book also includes debt in the infrastructure projects such as Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal and DP World (Australia), and loans to companies such as
The Bank of Ireland sold large pieces of infrastructure debt to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, including loans to Victoria's $764 million Peninsula Link road project loan, the Victoria desalination plant and the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
BNP Paribas is managing its local loan book in line with its global program, but the bank intends to maintain it's presence in the Australian market, depending on market conditions, one banker said.
A spokeswoman for BNP said the bank was not selling its loan book but it was managing its portfolio to make sure the bank had the capital to book new transactions. "There is no specific target from a sectoral basis in regards to assets that we might sell," she said.

Best Small Backyard Suggestions
Protect the floor damp as you function it and when you go to plant, make certain the floor is nicely watered.
For the initial yr, you might just want to have a stream. Then you could add a pool, fountains, and lights. There are dozens of really awesome pond attributes that you can purchase to include to your drinking water garden. You can begin your pond with a pond liner and a pump, and include landscaping around it as you can afford to. Whatever you can believe of to make your pool seem like a natural component of the landscape which consists of rocks and plants. The more lush the plant lifestyle is, the more tropical your backyard oasis will become.
Plan your garden with the believed in mind that you will broaden your backyard as you go along; include in some new kind of veggies here and there. When 1 crop is done think about putting in a awesome weather crop that will stand up to the cooler temperatures of the coming winter season. A vegetable garden is perfect for somebody who wants some thing to show for all their difficult function, especially when it arrives time to eat all that fantastic fresh grown veggies.
Example you may have four previous clay flower pots lying around vacant. What could you use as a top? Maybe and old piece of wooden or plexiglass. Ues the flower pots as stands. Add rocks for stability in side the pots. Established shelving on top. You could have a little book shelf, a planter stand, or dish show. Include a wood dish strainer undernealth, and have a mail rack. Therefore you do not need woodworking abilities to begin reworking your home. Simple round cylinder vases can maintain wood utensils. Special chiles in oil bottles can sit close by, and a fast stand can become a changeable three dimensional artwork piece.
When designing landscaping illustrations for little yards there is no need to select different types of plants. Choose two to 3 varieties of vegetation and arrange them in different all-natural-searching styles for a stunning arrangement. If there are trees in the corners that have hard branches, then you can style some landscaping examples with a couple of hanging pots or baskets on them. This will improve the density of the backyard and will also increase its appear and really feel. So when you're creating some landscaping illustrations for your small yard there's no need to go the costly route. All you need are your inventive garden ideas and your budget ought to stay intact.
In reality, if you are doing a remake, you may want to purchase a number of outfits for your bathroom, so you could rapidly freshen up at will. These add-ons don't have to price much and can give you a sense of renewal as required.
They require plenty of sun. With very couple of exclusions, roses enjoy the sunlight. Choose a place for roses that has at least six hrs of sun for each working day, and they will spend you back again with fine-looking, flashy blooms.
Eggplant Black Magic. Plant this vegetable from March through Might in complete sunlight. Drinking water them nicely and in about 3 months you'll have beautiful eggplants.

The Fraunhofer Society awards prizes all year round for outstanding contributions to science. In order to present the research project for this year's prize-winner, four films have been produced by KUK to be shown during the prize ceremony and on the Fraunhofer website.
To demonstrate the noise control measures taken by Deutsche Bahn, KUK Film worked together with the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute to produce an interactive media station and a 180° panoramic film.
On behalf of the agency commotion, Essen, we designed the feed for 10 innovation towers on the John Deere stand at AGRITECHNICA 2013.
The innovation towers consist of 70" displays, which thanks to their size and vertical image format, show off the new John Deere products in an exceptional manner.
At the Corporate Media 2013/14 competition, the SIEMENS TIA PORTAL 3D film received two awards: the Award of Master and the Jury's Award for exemplary use of 3D technology.
The award was presented as part of the Media Night on 6th December in Ludwigsburg, and was received together with representatives of SIEMENS AG.
We produced two videodocumentaries for Bayerische Energieagentur ENERGIE INNOVATIV, that cover the topic of energetic modernisation of residential buildings.
The movies present three realized projects and explains how it was done in the right way and where to find the competent partners.
The Fraunhofer HHI received the 3D Technology Award "Innovation of the Year Award 2013" for its TimeLab and the OmniCam. The Prize was awarded in the Paramount Studios, Hollywood on September, 18th. We congratulate Christian Weissig and his team, who received the "Lumiere" statue as representative for the team.
The MUSCADE consortium organized a workshop on March 21st 2013 to show the final outcomes of the project and demonstrate new technologies to the public. It took place at the 3D Innovation Center in Berlin and was organized by the MUSCADE consortium together with Fraunhofer HHI and the EBU (European Broadcasting Union).
Mid 2012 the research project ASP was launched, subsidised by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. In this project, the partners Fraunhofer Institutes IIS and HHI, Carl Zeiss AG, P+S Technik and KUK Filmproduktion GmbH will develop a small, robust and cost-effective 3D capturing device. With this device, so the intention, one will be able to reduce costs for 3D productions and especially 3DTV-Live broadcastings significantly, without reducing the performance or compromising the output.
The corporate film DIMENSIONS OF RESEARCH, produced for the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, won the BEST 3D CORPORATE FILM category, and the 3D FANTASTISCHEN VIER live concert was selected as BEST 3D LIVE AQCUISITION.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/1/2013 (1667 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's a tricky business, and a pretty big gamble for a TV series in search of an audience.
The Americans, a new '80s-era spy drama that premieres Wednesday at 9 p.m. on FX Canada, is like any other TV series in that it asks viewers to make an emotional investment in its main characters, married suburbanites Philip and Elizabeth Jennings (Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell).
By outward appearances, they're an average couple with average American aspirations -- they have two kids, 13-year-old Paige (Holly Taylor) and 10-year-old Henry (Keidrich Sellati), they run a moderately successful travel agency, they drive an average Oldsmobile sedan and they seem to be doing their best to pursue the circa-1981 American dream.
So far, not such a hard sell in terms of appealing to American TV-watchers.
But theirs is an arranged marriage, set up a decade and a half earlier by their KGB bosses, and Philip and Elizabeth have been functioning as a sleeper-cell Soviet spy team intent on infiltrating the highest levels of the Reagan-era U.S. government. They are ruthless and, when duty requires, deadly.
In any historical or political context you choose to apply, Philip and Elizabeth are the bad guys. But for the purposes of The Americans, they also need to be a couple that the TV audience roots for as they carry out their various cloak-and-dagger missions.
"I think that is one of the big questions of the series," The Americans' creator/executive producer, Joe Weiseberg, said earlier this month during FX's portion of the U.S. networks' semi-annual press tour in Los Angeles. "I think we would all very much like both for Philip and Elizabeth to have a happy, healthy marriage that goes on for a long time. From the start, it's going to have a lot of ups and downs like most of the marriages that we're all familiar with.
"And then, with the Cold War -- although it might be a little bit difficult to believe and get used to -- we want you to root for the KGB. I know that's a (stretch)... They're going to try and undermine the U.S. government; they're going to try to help the Soviet Union win in the Cold War. We know that's not going to work out too well for them, but that's the side we want you to be on."
Actually, it's this twisted-loyalties element that might make The Americans an easier sell on the chilly side of the Canada-U.S. border than in the country in which it was created. Given the depth of post-Cold War unease and lingering anti-communist sentiment that still exists within America's polarized political framework, there might be a large segment of prime-time viewership that's simply unwilling to entertain the idea of Soviet spies as TV-series heroes.
It would be unfortunate if bigger-picture ideological concerns proved to be The Americans' undoing, because it's a very entertaining drama. Rhys (Brothers & Sisters) and Russell (Felicity) are superb as a couple who have sacrificed everything and immersed themselves in a huge, inescapable lie in order to serve their country -- they've grown into their concocted marriage, outwardly embraced American values and raised a couple of children who have no idea that their parents are spies, or even that they're Russian.
As the Cold War heats up after the election of Ronald Reagan as U.S. president (one of the spies' KGB bosses observes that "the American people have elected a madman as their president, and he makes no secret of his desire to destroy us"), Philip and Elizabeth are ordered to take on increasingly dangerous missions that bring them ever closer to having their cover blown.
At one point in the series pilot, Philip seems to be cracking under the pressure and muses to his wife/comrade that perhaps they should consider turning themselves in and taking the huge financial windfall that awaits double-agent informers.
Elizabeth, communist to the core, is incensed. And the chill that follows their discussion extends beyond their espionage identities and into their suburban-parents existence.
But the Jennings household must remain resolute and calm if their mission and their lives are to be maintained, particularly when the new neighbour who moves in across the street turns out to be an FBI agent who's either very friendly or slightly suspicious.
Time will tell. And time -- as in the years that have passed since Reagan and the fall of the Soviet empire -- might be the key to Americans' willingness to embrace The Americans.
"I think, if you tried to tell a story like this about al-Qaida now, it would be completely impossible," said Weisberg. "Nobody (in the U.S.) would be prepared to hear it. And I think it would have been the same way about the Soviets or the KGB even 10 years after the Cold War. I mean, they had and still have a lot of nuclear weapons pointed towards us, and it felt during the Cold War like they maybe were ready to kill all of us. So nobody wanted to try to relate to the enemy, but I think enough time has passed now that people are willing to look into their hearts and see them as people we can understand."

Hi everyone,
Let's see...answers.
Yes, there is equipment rental at Chankanaab. Not sure which reef we snorkelled in Belize. It was the reef snorkel and beach break excursion that picks you up right from the ship (no tendering required).
Other answers.
1.Our junior suite had wonderful bedding. They put the beds together for hubby and me and had a nice pad on top, so it felt like one bed.
2.Express debarkation takes place betweem 6:15am and 6:30am. We were in group 1 and had to be off by 6:45am, so there wasn't much difference. However, if you can get up early and wheel your bags off, do so. If you put out your bags the night before, you have to reclaim them right after you get off the ship. It's like the baggage claim conveyer belts at the airport and it probably took a good 45 minutes before our bags showed up. If you are flying out of Miami and on a major carrier, pay the $15 and check your bags at the port to your home destination. Miami International is a zoo.
3.My favorite thing was eating at the Portofino and having a glass of champagne at the champagne bar with my hubby while my kiddies were safely occupied elsewhere. I'm not much of a shopper, but every night there were sales going on in the promenade. The ice show was great, but get tickets the very first time they are made available (I believe it is at 8:30 on the first night). Dizzy's is a great place to have a drink as you are leaving whatever island you have visited. It is up on the 14th floor and has fabulous views.
4. As far as teenagers, each night they will receive, along with the Compass, their own "newsflash" as to what is going on for teens the next day. They had scavenger hunts, etc. My 15 year old mainly enjoyed hanging out at the pool with everyone and going to their teen club at night to chat.
Man oh man, I want to go again!!!!!

What Movie Messed You Up As A Kid? [VIDEOS]
We're probably all guilty of sneaking downstairs while mom and dad were sleeping and watching HBO when we weren't supposed to. (I remember doing that with my brother…when HBO was channel 2! Man I'm old…)
Inevitably that left us seeing some things our tender eyes probably weren't supposed to…but there are also age-appropriate movies that may still haunt us.
For whatever reason, a bunch of industry pros were asked to name a movie that freaked them out when they were kids. There were obvious ones on the list, like 'Alien' and 'Psycho', but also random ones like certain parts of 'Pee Wee's Big Adventure' and 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' (???).
I guess I can see it though…this scene where Christopher Lloyd's character kills a cartoon shoe was a little disturbing…

And yes, I'll admit, Large Marge did throw me for a loop…

So, what movie really messed you up as a kid?
