High serum cholesterol concentrations are commonly seen in HIV-infected patients treated with some protease inhibitor medications as part of long-term antiretroviral therapy for HIV. There is concern that these elevations in cholesterol may negatively impact on long-term risk of cardiovascular disease in this patient population. Pravastatin, a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, is commonly used to treat hypercholesterolaemia in the general population. We aim to examine the effect of 12 weeks therapy with 40mg pravastatin daily in conjunction with dietary advice in HIV-infected patients with elevated serum cholesterol on continued protease inhibitor therapy.
After 4 weeks of dietary advice, patients will be randomised to receive either pravastatin or placebo for 12 weeks. Assessments include fasting lipid and glycaemic parameters, measures of body composition and HIV disease, and surrogate markers for cardiovascular disease.
Although previous small studies of pravastatin in this field have been performed, none has done so in a randomised placebo controlled trial taking into account all the relevant measures.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: An international, multi-institutional analysis of prognostic factors and lymph node assessment. Print this page
Multidisciplinary Treatment
Cancers of the Pancreas, Small Bowel, and Hepatobiliary Tract

Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare and poorly understood primary liver cancer. The role of routine lymphadenectomy at the time of surgical resection remains poorly defined. We sought to identify factors associated with outcome following surgical management of ICC and examine the impact of lymph node (LN) assessment on survival. Methods: 411 patients who underwent curative intent surgery for ICC between 1973-2010 were identified from an international multi-institutional database. Clinical and pathologic data were evaluated using uni- and multivariate analyses. Results: Median tumor size was 6.5 cm. Most patients had a solitary tumor (55%) and no evidence of vascular invasion (64%). Resection involved ≥hemi-hepatectomy (74%) and margin status was R0 (82%). Overall median survival was 28 months and 5-year survival was 32%. Factors associated with adverse prognosis included positive margin status (HR=3.11; p<0.001), multiple lesions (HR=2.16; p=0.007) and vascular invasion (HR=2.13; p=0.01). Tumor size was not a prognostic factor (HR=1.05; p=0.08). Lymphadenectomy was performed in 233 (57%) patients; 87 (37%) had LN metastasis. LN metastasis was associated with worse outcome (median survival: N0 39 months vs. N1 21 months; p=0.02). Preoperative factors such as tumor size, number, and morphologic subtype did not predict presence of LN metastasis (all p>0.05); however, vascular invasion did (OR=2.24; p=0.003). Conclusions: While tumor size provides no prognostic information, tumor number, vascular invasion, and LN metastasis were associated with survival. Presence of LN metastasis cannot be predicted using preoperative tumor features. Lymphadenectomy should be routinely performed for ICC as up to one-quarter of patients will have LN metastasis

President Obama's signature piece of legislation, the Affordable Care act, has proven to be anything but. As costs rise and problems associated with the law come to the forefront, more and more of the well-connected and elites have taken measures to excuse themselves from the burdens.
Obama claimed, "If you like your plan, you can keep it", unless you're an average American citizen, that is.

When a hurricane or other weather emergency hits, people often must leave their homes. Past disasters have taught emergency responders just how much evacuees care about their animals — and organizations now help pets safe during major disasters.
In Philadelphia a smaller group is saving animals when their owners face smaller, more personal disasters such as a house fire.
It wasn't easy for George Umstead to leave his Chihuahua behind when Hurricane Sandy triggered a transformer fire.
"His name is Taco, and in December he'll be 16 years old," Umstead said. I got him when he was 6 months old. "But Umstead says he had little choice but to separate from his friendly dog who usually follows him around.
After the fire at Umstead's Delaware County apartment, he had to find shelter elsewhere. But he didn't know what to do with Taco. He left his beloved Chihuahua in the damaged apartment and had someone stop to check on him and feed him.
"The animal control people were going to take him away and ... somebody told me about Red Paw," he said. "I called them up to see if they would be able to help and they did.
"They came out and took him and are going to put him in a foster home until my apartment's completed again where I can move back in and I can pick him back up."
Umstead says it makes him feel better to know Taco is in a loving foster home instead of locked in a cage at a shelter.
Working with the Red Cross
Taco ended up safe and sound because of a call a little earlier in the day from Jennifer Leary, the founder of the Red Paw Emergency Team.
"We work with the Red Cross when they go out to respond to fires and other disasters that displace people," said Leary of South Philadelphia. "If the people have pets they call us up, we respond and take care of their pets -- providing emergency transport, emergency vet care, emergency shelter. We are the first and as far as we can tell the only organization in the nation doing this."
Leary says Red Paw mainly works with dogs and cats, but has helped snakes, turtles and ferrets. She says the emergency responders have realized they can't forget about pets when helping people.
"Everybody saw happened during Hurricane Katrina. I think the biggest lesson learned from that was how to handle pets and just the connection that people have with their animals," she said. "People won't leave without their animals, they won't eat before their pets eat, they won't evacuate unless they can evacuate with their pets."
Leary, a Philadelphia firefighter and Red Cross emergency responder, started the organization after seeing how little assistance was available for pets at disaster scenes.
"It's just heartbreaking to see people who have lost everything, then also have to make this horrible decision of either surrendering their animals or leaving them inside the burnt-out fire dwelling by themselves," she said. "Just the agony that they would go through, I'd just see it time and time and time again."
Foster homes in time of trouble
Leary says a lot of people don't have family or friends who are willing to take their pets.
Sitting quietly next to her is one dog Red Paw is helping.
Nicole Lasorda, an account supervisor for a Philadelphia public relations firm, is fostering the 2-year-old black and brown pitbull mix.
"She's a good girl," says Lasorda. "Are you a good girl?"
Lasorda, who lives in Blue Bell, has clearly has fallen in love with this dog from North Philly.
"Amore, she's very, very spoiled and very, very sweet. Her daddy was in a fire and she saved his life. She woke him up and got him out of the house," said Lasorda. "I have her now until he is back on his feet and ready to take her back."
Lasorda says it will be tough to give back this sweet dog, but if something happened to her she'd feeling better knowing someone else was taking good care of her cats.
Red Paw is funded through donations. The operation is largely run out of Leary's house and she says she's trying to raise money so Red Paw can have a place to call its own.

TO BE GENTLE, there is a disconnect between Marin County's public health initiatives and the health of its pension fund.
The board of the county's pension fund, the Marin County Employees' Retirement Association, has stood by its policies that lead to its large investment in worldwide tobacco giant Imperial Tobacco Group.
Meanwhile, the county has invested millions in getting its residents to stop smoking, including restrictions on second-hand smoke.
But when it comes to making money for its pension, smoking is OK.
A special committee of pension board members says it doesn't want local social policies to hinder investment teams' ability to keep the fund healthy.
That includes telling them to bail out of the fund's $7.5 million investment in the world's fourth-largest cigarette company.
County officials were mostly silent in advising the pension board. Had the board been a restaurant or bar that allowed smoking, the bureaucracy likely would have been all over the business.
But the policies of the pension fund and Marin's "healthy communities" initiatives obviously clash.
Only a few people turned out for the pension board meeting to make that point.
Pension board members, in response, said they are in the business to make money.
Pension board members said the fund needs to consider, as one trustee put it, "the broad spectrum of interest groups."
Also, they cited financial experts' assertions that decisions to pull out of investments in order to affect social or political change often do little but open the door for other investors to step in and take their place.
At least pension board members agreed to discuss this disconnect in public, and likely will have to again. But their public message was clear, politics and profits don't mix when it comes to the fund's portfolio.
They do have an important goal as stewards of the county's pension fund. Their ultimate goal is to protect and grow investment funds to provide for the benefits of public-employee members.
Whether those investments should be with local sentiments is the issue.
The pension board's policies state it does not tie the hands of its hired investment teams unless the investment is "imprudent and inconsistent with fiduciary duties."
But what the pension board was asked by the few members of the public who showed up for its meeting is that the fund should consider healthier alternatives, when fiscally prudent.
Until then, board members should be prepared to take the heat from those who question the logic of the county pension fund making money off cigarettes — which local policies seek to stem in an attempt to promote public health.

Fourth quarter earnings per share at Target advanced 17% to $1.45 compared with $1.24 the prior year, thanks to a seven-cent-a-share tax benefit, and quarterly profits were slightly more than $1 billion compared with $936 million the prior year. Fourth-quarter sales increased 2.8% to $20.3 billion compared with $19.7 billion the prior year and were aided by a 2.4% increase in same-store sales.
Target chairman, president and CEO Gregg Steinhafel said the company was very pleased with its fourth quarter and full year 2010 financial results as they reflected strong performance in its retail and credit card business segments. Looking forward, Steinhafel said 2011 would be a year in which the company would focus on driving sales and traffic and providing an enhanced shopping experience through strategic initiatives, such as an ambitious remodel program, the 5% REDcard Rewards program and the relaunch later this year of Target.com platform.
"Beyond 2011, we plan to expand our store footprint in new ways, opening our first City Target stores in 2012 and opening 100 to 150 Canadian Target stores in 2013 and 2014. We believe these transformational initiatives position Target for profitable growth in 2011 and many years to come, and will create meaningful shareholder value over time."
CityTarget is the name given recently to the company's small format stores.
Overall growth in profits occurred despite margin pressures that resulted from food and consumables comprising a larger portion of the company's sales as the ambitious remodeling program referenced by Steinhafel results in a significant expansion of those categories.
Fourth-quarter gross margins declined to 28.7% compared with 29.1% due to the impact of the PFresh remodeling program. However, the company also managed to control expenses as evidenced by a decline in its selling, general and administrative expense rate, which dropped to 18.1% from 18.5%.

New Delhi, Sep 16 (IANS) Delhi's Patiala House District Courts Complex will no longer be known by the old name, as it moves to Rouse Avenue, renamed Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg, in central Delhi. The Delhi government announced a decision to this effect Monday.
The state government decided to shift the district courts, as the premises have grown too congested.
"Patiala House, which houses the New Delhi District Courts, has become too congested and its ambience has been eclipsed with unauthorised construction. Hence, it was decided to shift the complex to DDU Marg (Rouse Avenue)," Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit told reporters.
The decision was taken in a cabinet meeting chaired by Dikshit.
Patiala House, designed by British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, is situated at Tilak Marg near India Gate in central Delhi.
The new building to house the courts, to come up at an estimated cost of Rs.306 crore, will have eight floors and 41 court rooms, over a 7.5 lakh sq ft area.
The centrally air-conditioned building would be constructed strictly in accordance with the green building concept, and would have a double-base for parking.
Delhi Law Minister Ramakant Goswami said construction would take around four and a half years.
While there would be separate access areas for judges, lawyers, litigants and convicts, an auditorium with capacity of 200 people would be constructed on the premises.
It will have solar panel for external lighting, covered roof with solar panels and proper traffic management.
The government has taken care of the security aspect and has decided to install an automatic security system in the building, a Delhi government official said.
The government has also approved a proposal to enhance the amount of money granted to about 700 judicial and executive officers for purchase of desktop computers or laptops.

Pagan excels at coming through in late innings
LOS ANGELES -- Statistics illustrate just how productive Giants center fielder Angel Pagan has been in clutch situations.
Since the start of the 2013 season, Pagan entered Friday batting .370 (20-for-54) with three home runs in the eighth inning or later, compared to .260 for the rest of the Giants in those situations. Despite playing only 71 games last year, Pagan collected three walk-off hits, the most by a Giant since Andres Torres also had three in 2010.
Pagan says little about his hitting approach, which may reflect his ability to keep things simple.
"In those situations, I just want to have good at-bats," he said.
Evidence of Pagan's value since he joined the club in 2012 has continued to mount. According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Giants are 129-99 (.566) when Pagan has played. In his absence, they are 44-56 (.440).

›› Photos: Coronado basketball team manager Mitchell Marcus
›› Storify: See tweets about Coronado student Mitchell Marcus
As if being mobbed by schoolmates after making a two-point shot at the end of a basketball game Tuesday wasn't enough, Mitchell Marcus' story may go national.
Mitchell, a special-needs student at Coronado High School, became an instant hero when he was put into a game against Franklin High School and made the shot after several attempts.
A movement by Coronado and Franklin students to lobby national networks to show the video of Mitchell has swelled.
They are determined to get it broadcast on ESPN.
Their efforts have attracted the attention of the national sports network and other national networks.
An ESPN representative has spoken to Mitchell's parents about the shot.
Mitchell, a team trainer, got to suit up and make the last basket of the season for the District 1-5A champion Thunderbirds.
His moment captured the hearts of players, coaches and the audience.
It was made possible by an unselfish act of Franklin's Jon Montanez, who gave the ball to Mitchell with 13 seconds left in the game.
After trying to sink the shot three times, Mitchell made the fourth -- which spurred a stampede to congratulate him.
As the news of Mitchell's shot spread through El Paso, students at both schools began using Twitter and the hashtag #GetMitchellOnSC was soon trending.
A large wooden sign that said "#GetMitchOnSportsCenter, #GetItDone!" was placed next to a marquee sign at Coronado.
The Twitter campaign reached high schools on the other side of town.
All-City MVP running back Aaron Jones of Burges High School tweeted, "My Valentines day will be perfect if I see Mitch on Espn/SportsCenter top 10 plays #GetMichOnSC #GetMitchellonSportsCenter #SCtop10."
Jones also plays basketball for the Mustangs.
Clement Marcus, Mitchell's father, said he returned a phone call from ESPN but had not heard back. His wife, Amy Marcus, also spoke with a representative from CBS News.
"It's really reaching out now. We have friends saying they are trying to contact everyone," Clement Marcus said. "My cellphone is ringing off the hook to where I had to turn it off to charge it."
ESPN has also asked for video from the school and from people who attended at the game and witnessed Mitchell's play.
Coronado coach Peter Morales said ESPN called the school Thursday morning.
"We sent them the video and we are waiting to see if they will show it," Morales said.
One of ESPN's anchors tweeted about Mitchell.
Kevin Negandhi tweeted: "Awesome story... Congrats to Mitchell," and then he retweeted a link to a YouTube video of the shot.
The El Paso Independent School District has received multiple inquires from national media. District spokeswoman Renee de Santos said she could not say which networks called because they did not confirm that the story would be picked up.
Even a professional athlete was impressed with the story.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill tweeted, "Great story of sportsmanship!" along with a retweet of a KVIA Channel 7 link.
Lauren Bagg, a Franklin student who recorded the moment on her cellphone, said it has been shared 157 times on Facebook. Her video also was featured on elpasotimes.com.
"I was crying extremely hard (when it happened), I was that emotional," Bagg said. "My brother has special needs, and when he was born, he was in the hospital for three months. And now he is skiing, with help. When I saw that shot, it made me believe anything is possible."
She has been shocked at how students from both schools are trying to get Mitchell's story out.
"A lot of people are talking about how to get him exposure," Bagg said. "I see it on almost all my friends' walls."
Bagg said she was asked to email her video to ESPN.
"They said they are trying to get him on SportsCenter, but they were not sure," Bagg said. "I believe it is going to get up there. It might just take a while."

If you're already using the basic tools in Adobe Photoshop CS5, take your photo-editing skills to a new level!
In this course, you'll become an expert at using layers, layer masks, and other advanced features that let you change images easily long after you create them (and long after the Photoshop "undo" command expires).
Non-destructive editing lets you work faster and reuse parts of images over and over. In these lessons, you'll learn how to save every single pixel in your original image so you never have to say, "I'm sorry—I tossed that information." In addition, you'll discover how to use Smart Objects so you can crop or resize an image and return it to its original size months afterward. (You'll even learn some clever tricks for warping Smart Objects!)
After that, you'll find out how to add shadows or embossing non-destructively. And if you want to design page layouts you can fill with different images, you'll learn how to create templates you can reuse.
Whether you use Photoshop to edit photos, make scrapbook pages, or design original artwork, this course will give you all the skills you need to let your creativity shine. Once you see what non-destructive editing can do for your projects, you'll never look back!
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
Each time you edit the exposure in an image, you lose image quality. But what if there were a way to edit the exposure as much as you wanted and not hurt the quality? There is! An adjustment layer makes no permanent change to the image, and you can stack up these layers as you wish. You won't ever want to apply a regular Levels command or Adjustment command directly to an image again.
Have you ever wondered how to put images inside type, like those old postcards for various cities? You'll find out today. It's called a clipping mask, and it's a digital version of spreading glitter onto a paper that has a design drawn in glue—the glitter only sticks to the glue. In this case, the new layers only stick to the base layer in the clipping mask. Making a clipping mask is easy, but it provides one of Photoshop's "wow" moments.

This was a very challenging class and you are a great instructor! I took your first class and then this one and enjoyed both. I would recommend this class to anyone. Thank you so much for giving us plenty of assingments to help get us more aquainted with the program and not restricting the amount of postings. Even though I wasn't in a classroom I felt I could get help when I needed it and that is most important.
Some very challenging and heavy stuff in this excellent final lesson. So much more to master in the months ahead it makes my head spin…The sky's the limit for using this very artistic concept as well as the use of luminosity masking. This course was more than challenging, and it was worth every penny. A tremendous educational value! Kudos to Sherry London and staff!
I am glad I got the chance to use CS5 with all the assignments. I learned so much from them all. There were a few assignments that I did not do, however I plan to review and take advantage of all assignments. This was a really great class. You and Beth are wonderful instructors. I have an artist friend who has taken classes online under your expert instructions, and she also praises you highly. I hope to be able to take more of you classes in the future.
Thank you so much for a wonderful course! I looked forward to every lesson and have just received my copy of Photoshop Gone Wild in the mail. I also plan to take further coursework on ed2go so I'm sure to meet you again. Thank you so much, I can't tell you what this course has done for me.
Thank you for a truly wonderful class. I have learned a lot and feel a little more confident about tackling some of the old photos I have wanted to retouch.
I've really enjoyed this class and appreciated all the feed back you've given us along the way. As I worked my way through the exam, I could see the wide range of skills you've taught us over the past eight weeks. It was good to be reminded of them again! I've learned a lot, and I'll miss our online community. Now I just need to keep practicing and build some confidence!
I want to thank you Sherry for sharing your expertise and knowledge of Photoshop. Up to this course everything I learned was self learning from reading books, online tutorials from different websites ect... But know the things I learned from your course open up a lot more abilities, creativity ect... Thank again
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with me during this course and during the intro course I took with you a couple sessions back. I learned so much...more than I dreamed possible...and I leave with enough resources and recommendations from you to keep me learning for many months to come.
I attribute my success to the quality of instruction, the design of the course, and the flexibility of the program offered by ed2go. As a high school English and Journalism teacher with more than 20 years of experience in the classroom and as a peer mentor, I know "quality" when I see it.
Thank you, Sherry (and Beth)! I learned so much from this class and will definitely use these techniques personally and professionally in the near future. I really appreciate the quality of your instruction and your presence on the discussion boards.
I have taken a couple of beginner's courses online prior to this one. I will confess, your style was so different then my other classes, and I took a little time to surrender and just go with your flow. So happy I did! Once I let myself just follow your step-by-step instructions, it led to "playing around" with different commands and ideas. I really feel you walked me through each lesson. And, for an online class, it was almost like being in a classroom. Thank you.

Runway Chicken Revisitedthis blog. Saving you the click through, the executive summary is that approach controllers at National�or maybe the TMU, we're not sure�had weather clogging up the arrival fixes so they reconfigured to approach from the opposite direction. The tower controller never got the word and launched two departures into the nose of an incoming arrival. That resulted in loss of separation. but it wasn't exactly a paint swap. The FAA did its usual public saber rattling, vowing to get to the bottom of this outrage and prevent it from happening again. If, on the off chance, you're reading this blog on a mobile device while sitting out a gate hold somewhere, you may be a surprise beneficiary of this new policy. Here's the FAA policy change if you'd like to read it directly: (PDF). In an act of sheer, undiluted futility, I had hoped that the FAA would either issue a mealy mouthed order meaning essentially nothing or that it would distribute a procedural directive that the facilities could simply ignore. Unfortunately, neither happened. The gist of the order is to suspend all opposite direction operations at Part 139 airports until the local facility produces a written procedure describing how they intend to conduct opposite direction procedures and this must be approved by higher HQ. On its face, this doesn't sound entirely silly until you stop to consider how long it takes to get anything approved by the FAA. So how's it playing out in the real world? About as you'd expect. If the wind changes at O'Hare, there's chaos over Gary and somewhere, airplanes are being vectored or spun while controllers are forced to burn those two things they never have enough of: time and airspace. In this recording from liveATC.net, you can listen to a local controller at Los Angeles International explaining to a couple of inbounds why they're flushing a few thousand pounds of Jet A with the destination runway tantalizingly visible through the windshield:
Evidently, LAX hasn't gotten its opposite-direction procedure approved yet, although I feel fairly confident in saying they've probably submitted same. So if you're one of those pilots (or passengers) being mysteriously vectored around and the controller isn't as forthcoming as LAX local on why that's happening, thank the FAA for this sublime order enhancing the safety of the nation's airspace and never mind that you missed your connection to Baltimore. What should have happened here? It's really simple. Back in the days when controllers wore skinny ties and gas was 50 cents a gallon, controllers actually talked directly to each other. Shocking as it may seem, they did so entirely without benefit of a front line supervisor watching. Controllers who came of age in this era will tell you it actually worked kinda well. So if the FAA's order simply went back to that well-hewn procedure, the DCA nose-to-nose wouldn't have happened and there would be fewer airliners out there burning up expensive kerosene and generally throwing sand into the works of what used to be a decent watch. But that's progress for you.

There won't be much outrage about it in this town.
Virtually no one will be screaming at the top of their lungs, like when umpire Jim Joyce's ill-fated blown call at first base cost then Tigers' pitcher Armando Galarraga his perfect game.
There, actually, will be justification for it. You know, "Hey, the umpires jobbed the Tigers last year in Boston (which they did in three straight games). Turnabout is fair play."
No, it is not. There is no justification for what occurred during the eighth inning at Comerica Park Sunday. The umpires, specifically Scott Barry at first base and Mike DiMuro at second base, blew it. Boston Red Sox right fielder Daniel Nava caught the ball. He was merely exchanging it from glove to hand when he dropped it. It was ruled, instead, a two-base error. It was a disgraceful call, which set off a chain of events that broke a 4-4 tie and led to the Tigers' 7-5 victory over the Red Sox.
Umpire incompetence is something, unfortunately, which has become more prevalent in recent years. This crew actually huddled before getting it wrong, and claimed they got it right in a postgame interview. OK, umpires are human. What is disgraceful is baseball's refusal to implement a more comprehensive replay system to compensate for that fact.
Without question, this blunder would have been overturned upon replay. This isn't 1980. It's time to move into the more precise world of the digital age.
The Tigers lived a charmed life Sunday. It would be harsh to claim it was a tainted victory. The Tigers had nothing to do with the umpire incompetence. They got the breaks, though. Another moment of good fortune was when former Tiger Andrew Miller hit Jhonny Peralta on a 0-2 pitch with the bases loaded, tying it during the seventh inning.
Tigers' manager Jim Leyland has been on the other end those calls many times. To his credit, he has never wanted extensive replay. The idea of tossing a red flag like an NFL coach on the field to have a call reviewed does not appeal to him.
"I want it for home run and fair or foul," he said. "That's it. I don't want a bunch of replays." Currently, only home runs are reviewable.
Sunday was one of those perfect Detroit summer days we appreciate so much. It was 90 degrees and sunny. Not only were the Tigers at home, but the Red Sox were in town. Comerica Park was jammed, packed, stuffed - however you want to phrase it.
Justin Verlander was on the mound for the Tigers, which normally would have only added to the aura.
However, this is the 2013 version of Justin Verlander, which has been far different than the one presented in 2011 and 2012.
Watching Verlander get through the compulsory five innings Sunday was like observing a road worker filling pot holes with hot asphalt on a 90-degree day. It was laborious. He threw 112 pitches.
He'd just miss with a pitch here and there. His shortstop, Peralta, reverted back to his previous role as Comerica Park's ninth stature. Normally dependable second baseman Omar Infante air-mailed a relay wildly for an error while turning a double play.
Theories about what is wrong with Verlander have ranged from the ridiculous (it's Kate Upton) to the concerned (he's thrown so many innings down through the years it is catching up to him) to the simplistic (he just isn't commanding his fastball, the Leyland explanation).
Actually, Verlander is on a similar track to most of his seasons, but especially since he signed a contract extension for $180 million guaranteed before the start of this one, there is nothing less than the best expected from him.
The Tigers, ultimately, do need more from Verlander. The deeper their starting staff goes into games, the better for a bullpen that is laboring in its own right.
It's not just Verlander, but Doug Fister, who didn't get out of the fourth inning in his most recent start. Too much of it from starters, and the domino effect on the Tigers' bullpen could be devastating.
What to do?
"You keep trying," Verlander said of his plight. "When it clicks in, it clicks in. It's there. I will find it."
Leyland would be more concerned if there were any health-related issues.
"The good thing is Justin is healthy," Leyland said. "We can figure out the other stuff."
Even though he took over with a three-run lead, Joaquin Benoit was shaky closing out of the bullpen. The Red Sox scored a ninth-inning run. They sent the tying run to the plate.
But it wasn't a bad afternoon for the Tigers overall. It was a good one. They just won three of four games from the Red Sox, who entered the series with the best record in the American League.
"That's pretty impressive," Leyland said.
It's more than the umpires can claim.

3 Ways to Show Employers You're Right for the Job
3 Tips for Communicating Your Value and Fit for the Job to Employers
By Jessica Holbrook Hernandez,
Expert Resume Writer
Some people will immediately see the value you offer as an employee. Others you'll never convince. But how do you communicate your value (the ROI the employer will receive for hiring you as opposed to another) to those who may not readily see it but are open to it? This question came to me as I was working with some prospective clients over the past week.
Some of these
job seekers
readily knew the value of the services we offer—no convincing, selling, or extra chat necessary. Frankly, they were miles ahead, ready to get started, and didn't want to spend another second talking about the benefits. Others, no matter what they are told regarding the benefits, features, value, ROI … whatever it is they'll get from partnering with an expert (or hiring you as an employee) … they just don't care. They're dead set on doing it their way, only paying X number of dollars but expecting full service with all the perks—or they think they know exactly the type of person they want to hire—and no manner of explaining is going to change their mind. These are the people you just have to let go. I've learned you can't get all worked up over those who will never see it. It's the same with employers when you're
, applying, or
. It's not worth stressing yourself out over someone who will just never "get it."
Still, there are those who may not see the benefits right away—or the perfect fit that you are—but once they're enlightened to it they very easily agree that the positive outcomes outweigh the costs. Whatever those "costs" may be. Maybe it's the degree you haven't finished yet, those two years of experience that you haven't obtained, or something else altogether … How can you as a potential candidate for the job communicate the value, return on investment, and the many benefits they'll receive upon choosing you? Here are a few suggestions I've discovered along the way that I hope will serve you well:
1. During the interview: Experience speaks for itself.
Share examples of your past interactions and experiences in similar situations. Employers want to know that you've successfully tackled similar problems and situations in the past. Theory goes, if you've been successful with something once before, history will repeat itself. These examples will speak volumes because they're not statements about how you might handle something; they're statements about how you've already successfully overcome something.
2. On your
: Utilize C.A.R. or S.A.R. statements.
C.A.R. statements are challenge, action, results statements that help to illustrate exactly the challenge you were up against, the action you took to address the challenge, and then the great results you achieved. S.A.R. is very similar; it's situation, action and results. Whichever you use, they're great tools for communicating exactly what you're capable of bringing to the table by demonstrating what you've accomplished in the past.
3. When You're Networking: Focus on expertise.
Whether you're networking in person or online, focus on your areas of expertise. Discuss what you're passionate about. Your excitement and enthusiasm are contagious, and people catch on to that.
, and your own professional Web site or blog are great places to share your expertise with others. Write about what you know, what interests you—and do it in a way that helps others who enjoy the same things or are in need of help. When talking with others in person, that contagious enthusiasm is much easier to pick up; others will easily see why it is that you love what you do, and they'll see the value you offer as an expert in your field.
So, I guess it isn't so much about convincing others of the value, ROI, or benefits as much as it is being yourself, positioning yourself as an expert, and being passionate about what you do. Like I mentioned before, that excitement and enthusiasm you hold inside you for what you do will shine through—and others will catch on to it a lot quicker than you think.

How "Extreme Levels" of Roundup in Food Became the Industry Norm
By Thomas Bøhn and Marek Cuhra
Food and feed quality are crucial to human and animal health. Quality can be defined as sufficiency of appropriate minerals, vitamins and fats, etc. but it also includes the absence of toxins, whether man-made or from other sources. Surprisingly, almost no data exist in the scientific literature on herbicide residues in herbicide tolerant genetically modified (GM) plants, even after nearly 20 years on the market.
In research recently published by our laboratory (Bøhn et al. 2014) we collected soybean samples grown under three typical agricultural conditions: organic, GM, and conventional (but non-GM). The GM soybeans were resistant to the herbicide Roundup, whose active ingredient is glyphosate.
We tested these samples for nutrients and other compounds as well as relevant pesticides, including glyphosate and its principal breakdown product, Aminomethylphosponic acid (AMPA). All of the individual samples of GM-soy contained residues of both glyphosate and AMPA, on average 9.0 mg/kg. This amount is greater than is typical for many vitamins. … Continue Reading

U.S. retail sales of fruit will grow modestly in the next five years and vegetable sales may not grow at all, according to new estimates from the Mintel Group.
The United Kingdom-base research group said that inflation-adjusted U.S. retail fruit sales — with fresh fruit accounting or 84% of the category — will rise from $34.6 billion in 2013 to $36.1 billion by 2018. That represents annual growth of from zero to 1.1% during those years, according to Mintel's report. Fruit sales growth from 2008 to 2013 on inflation-adjusted prices was 3%, and Mintel predicts a 4% gain in inflation-adjusted sales during the next five years.
U.S. retail vegetable sales — dominated by a 75% market share for fresh vegetables and fresh-cut vegetables — will remain flat, according to the report. Inflation-adjusted vegetable retail sales are predicted to remain basically unchanged— from $68.2 billion in 2013 to $68.3 billion in 2018. Inflation adjusted prices for vegetables showed vegetables sales grew only 4% from 2008 to 2013, and Mintel forecasts no significant sales growth for the category from 2013 to 2018.
While the report looks at sales dollars, Elizabeth Pivonka, president and chief executive officer of the Hockessin, Del.-based Produce for Better Health Foundation, said PBH research also indicates that volume of fresh produce sold at retail has been flat in recent reporting periods.
"Generally what we are seeing is that (consumption) is relatively flat across the country and people still need to eat twice of what they are currently eating," she said.
Supply challenges could work against attempts to increase consumption, she said.
Pivonka said a grower recently told her that widespread labor shortages may trim the fresh produce acreage in the spring of 2014, which could reduce supplies and raise prices.
She said there are some recent upward shifts in fruit and vegetable consumption for children between two and 12 years old, particularly for children ages two to six years old. In addition, Pivonka said PBH research indicates consumption growth in the 18- to 35-year- old demographic. Teens and the elderly, on the other hand, will eat fewer fruits and vegetables, Pivonka said.
Fruit on the rise
Another report, on fruit consumption, is encouraging, Pivonka said.
The Oct. 31 report from research firm The NPD Group says that fruit has passed milk, vegetables and carbonated soft drinks over the last decade and now ranks number two on the list of top ten foods Americans eat.
"Fruit is the number-one snack and dessert in the United States and now makes up 6% of end dishes we consume," Harry Balzer, chief industry analyst and author of Eating Patterns in America, said in the report. "The movement toward more fruit over the last decade is, in my opinion, a movement toward the need for natural."
An emphasis on "natural, may reflect an interest in weight management, according to the release.
The NPD Group's eating trends research indicates more than 30% of adults are obese, but that number has stopped climbing in recent years. That leveling off in obesity was first evident in a NPD eating trends report a decade ago, according to the release.
"We may not yet be losing weight, but we've stopped gaining weight," Balzer said in the release,
NPD data shows that the number of Americans with a body mass index of 25 or higher has not increased since 2002. Meanwhile, the number of adults who are obese, those with a body mass index of 30 or greater increased until 2011 but has since stabilized.
While health concerns play a role in the American diet, the cost of food and the need for convenient preparation are also major drivers in our food and beverage selections, Balzer said in the release.

Haverfordwest Ladies 32
Abergavenny Ladies 5
AFTER an earlier 17-5 success against Lampeter Ladies, Haverfordwest Ladies played really well as two tries from Clodagh Llewellin helped them overcome the challenge of their counterparts from Abergavenny in their second game in this season's cup competition.
The sodden conditions dictated play despite both teams trying to play some running rugby. A sticky pitch and a greasy ball were always going to dominate this clash, making it a forward-orientated game.
From the whistle Haverfordwest looked sharp, using their pace out wide with Jasmine Joyce heavily involved in gaining ground.
A tapped penalty from scrum half Lucy Peach found the ever-alert Clodagh Llewhellin, who opened Haverfordwest's account by powering over for a try.
Abergavenny's strength and determination shone through in denying the home side any serious momentum but hard work from the Haverfordwest front five of Helen Wilcox, Kate Beaumont, Joanne Hammond, Natalie Lingwood and Helen Humphries enabled Jess Page and Jo Price to add to the Haverfordwest try tally. This made the Haverfordwest lead look comfortable as the first half closed.
The second half started more defensively for Haverfordwest as Abergavenny sought to attack and after several charges the visitors finally managed to cross the white wash.
But the home side were not long in responding as Nina Colville (captain) sliced through the centre to give the scoring pass to Clodagh Llewhellin for her second try.
Another try soon followed from Charlotte Morgan with the excellent support play of Zoe Daye and Krystal Goodridge.
To Abergavenny's credit they kept plugging away and tackled ferociously but Jo Price rounded off a deserved victory by scoring in the corner, and with the conversion to her name the game ended with a 32-5 win for Haverfordwest Ladies.
It was a morale-boosting win for Haverfordwest Ladies, who will build on this momentum for their next match away to Abergele.
Anyone interested in joining Haverfordwest Ladies should contact Clodagh Llewhellin on 07769115124. Training is every Monday, 7.45-9pm at Tasker Milward School Astroturf.

THE family of a Keighley teacher left in a coma after being brutally attacked in Thailand have endured more frustration after the expected verdict on his accused assailant was delayed again.
Parents Andrew and Adele Pickles had hoped to hear on Tuesday (Aug 19) what a Thai court had decided on British expat Sean Henry Tinsley, from Wolverhampton, who is alleged to have struck Adam Pickles with an iron bar in the resort of Pattaya in May 2012.
The road rage attack is believed to have been triggered by an incident in which a car was scraped.
However, the couple were shocked to hear that the verdict was being postponed again because important legal documents had been sent to the wrong court. They have now been told they will have to wait till mid-September.
A previous delay for the verdict was announced in July, when Mr Pickles' family were told that the case would have to be referred back to the High Court in Bangkok.
Reacting to the latest setback, Mrs Pickles said: "We feel frustrated and angry that this could have happened. It's gone on for so long, and it's like an emotional rollercoaster. We put our faith in the Thai justice system, but we're very unsure about what's going to happen and unsure about when we're going to see justice for Adam."
Andrew Pickles said the family's dealings with the Thai justice system had been complicated by the language barrier, and by the different legal procedures followed in Thailand.
He and Mrs Pickles said they had received very little support from the British Government, though were hopeful that this would change.
Married father-of-one Adam Pickles, who had been teaching English in Thailand, was flown back to the UK and spent six months at the Royal Hospital for Neurodisability in London before being transferred to Woodlands Respite Care Centre in York, close to his parents' home in Thorner.
He is 41-years-old, and a former Bradford Grammar School pupil. Fundraising is continuing to help pay for legal costs and Mr Pickles' care.
His mother said he was no longer classed as being in a "deep coma". "We're getting responses from him, he can say names, smile and indicate that he can hear," she added.

ACCRINGTON Stanley are in talks to bring last season's player of the year Lee Molyneux back to the club on loan from Crewe Alexandra.
Molyneux scored eight in the final 13 games of last term to help save Stanley from relegation to the Conference.
Many of the goals were stunning left-footed efforts, earning the 24-year-old the tongue-in-cheek tag of 'the League Two Gareth Bale'.
Molyneux opted to move up to League One to join Crewe when his Stanley contract expired in the summer but has made only four starts for the Gresty Road club this season.
He made three substitute appearances during a loan spell at League Two Rochdale before the turn of the year, and has now trained with Stanley ahead of a likely loan switch.
Molyneux is expected to sign an initial one-month loan deal ahead of Saturday's home match against Bury, with a view to the loan being extended.
That could see him take up the left wing spot against Bury but Piero Mingoia, the man who has been occupying that spot in most recent games, yesterday put pen to paper on a new contract with Stanley.
Mingoia signed a one-year deal with Stanley in the summer after being released by Watford. The midfielder had a loan spell with the Reds last season.
The 22-year-old has now extended his Stanley deal for another year, until the summer of 2015.
"I'm really pleased to have agreed this extension," Mingoia said. "When I didn't have a club in the summer Accrington gave me the chance to play football again and I'm really grateful for that opportunity. This is a great club with a great manager, staff, squad and set of fans and I'm looking forward to playing here for another year."
Mingoia has made 24 appearances this season, including scoring the winner in the League Cup first round tie at Middlesbrough.
"We're delighted to have agreed this extension with Piero," said manager James Beattie.
"He's worked tremendously hard over the past few months and has worked himself into position where he's a valuable member of our squad. His work ethic and dedication to doing his job is refreshing to see and second to none and is something that we felt needed to be rewarded with this new contract."
Goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli is expected to soon extend his loan deal from Fulham. Bettinelli's current loan expires on January 30.
Former Reds loan winger Jamie Devitt yesterday joined Morecambe on a one-month loan deal from Chesterfield.
Toto Nsiala this week linked up with John Coleman at Southport, after a brief trial spell with Vietnamese club Hanoi T&T.

Can you blame him?
"Bad boys. Bad boys. Whatcha gonna do," Indiana's junior guard sang softly into the microphone, a version of the theme song from the old TV show "Cops."
This is what happens when you hit postseason form in November, when you crush all comers, when you've fallen into the college basketball valley and now bask at the peak, recognizing it could all slip away if you don't push like you're the hunter rather than the hunted.
"Bad boys. Bad boys. Whatcha gonna do?" Oladipo sang.
North Carolina could do nothing Tuesday night at Assembly Hall. It became fodder just like the No. 1 Hoosiers' previous six opponents. The No. 14 Tar Heels (5-2) morphed into Sam Houston State or North Dakota State or, most recently, Ball State. The previously explosive offense melted into second-half mockery.
"We're bad boys," Oladipo shouted on the court as the expected cliffhanger turned into an 83-59 blowout. He did his part with a season-high 19 points, four rebounds and double digits in defensive deflections.
"There is one guy who brought it and that was Vic," swingman Victor Sheehey said. "From the get-go he was going to the boards, getting deflections, making stops. When you see one guy bringing it, you've got to bring it. He sets the tempo."
The talkative Oladipo radiates you-can't-beat-us confidence that shouldn't be confused with cockiness. Three straight 20-loss seasons still fuel the fire — and perspective.
"Sometimes the juices are running and things come out of my mouth," he said. "Whatever comes out of my mouth, people listen. I feel like the guys feed off me. I'm a positive person. I'm always up. It's rare you see me down.
"I'm proud of the program and the players. We haven't even scratched the surface. We can accomplish so much more."
How much more can a 7-0 team do? It has won by at least 10 points in every game, disrupting with defense like it hasn't since former coach Bob Knight ruled the sport. North Carolina arrived with one of the nation's most potent offenses, got out-scored 17-2 to start the second half, was limited to 37.7 percent shooting and suffered the worst non-conference loss of the 10-year Roy Williams era.
"It feels like we have to be the hunter and not the hunted," forward Cody Zeller said. "We can't be comfortable with where we're at. We have to take every game like we're the underdog."
Perspective check: The Tar Heels weren't at full strength. Guard P.J. Hairston didn't make the trip because of a knee injury. He averaged10.8 points and 4.2 rebounds.
Would it have mattered?
Not on Tuesday night.
Even before that, North Carolina had shown vulnerability with its 82-71 loss to Butler in last week's Maui Invitational. The Tar Heels fell behind by 29 points in that game on a neutral court.
Assembly Hall was not neutral, although it never reached last year's Kentucky intensity. Still, the Tar Heels were flustered into a jump-shooting attack that had no chance.
"We go 2-for-7 to end the first half," Williams said, "and 1-for-18 to start the
second. You can't do that."
Guard Jordan Hulls continued his recent surge with 13 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and no turnovers. That followed a brisk workout that ended about an hour before tipoff when the senior worked on every shot in his arsenal, including burying 26-foot jumpers with the greatest of ease.
Zeller had 20 points, eight rebounds and a career-high-matching four blocks. Sheehey added 19 points and five rebounds.
"Cody Zeller is a load to handle, and two guys I didn't even hear of while they were in high school (Oladipo and Sheehey) kicked our rear ends," Williams said.
"They are a team. They don't have one guy who beats you up. They beat you up so many different ways. I like how hard they play on defense. They are legitimately a No. 1 team."
Zeller wasted no time in showing why he's the best running big man in college basketball. He sprinted his way to seven points in four minutes to boost IU to a 13-7 lead. The Tar Heels came back for a 19-18 lead.
A back-and-forth tone continued until the final four minutes, when the Hoosiers surged behind Sheehey, Zeller and Oladipo dunks. IU led 46-37 at halftime and then put the game away with its 17-2 second-half opening run.
"It's cool," Oladipo said about the dominating performance. "We've worked really hard. This is a humbling experience.
"We're going to keep working hard, keep staying in the gym. We have to stay together, play for each other and the sky is the limit."

Topic: Sleepless nights
What do you all do with your night hours?
My sleep schedule is completely whacked at this point. The itching is so intense that I give up even trying to lay in bed. Thank god I get some relief from it during the daylight hours but then I spend those sleeping sleeping sleeping.
But the night hours get really long. Around 11:00PM, 6:00 is far far away. I find I can't really read becuase of the itching, so I try to take hot baths for relief, do housework, surf the internet, even do some cooking. But even so there are plenty of empty hours to fill.
Anyone else dealing with this?

Marmalade My Fine Sir?Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
Swaff and his older brother Abjar were once again talking to each other. This time, it was about their toast topping preferences. Abjar decided to play a little joke on Swaff.
He told him this story:
"When I was a young lad, back in the good ole year of 1902, my best friend, Geoff, and I would get into many crazy competitions. This one time, we decided to see who could get the bread to pop out of the toaster the farthest. I won with an amazing 19 inches."
Swaff was amazed. He never knew his brother was that cool.
Later on in life, Abjar revealed that this was a lie. How could Swaff have caught the lie?
AnswerSince Charles Strite invented the modern pop-up toaster in 1919, there was no way that Abjar and Geoff could have had a competition 17 years prior to its invention. Back then, the toasters were completely manual. You had to take the bread out, and flip it around to toast both sides. If Swaff would have caught this simple fact, he would have not had to go through such embarrassment.

Almost a dozen years after he began selling non-organic fertilizer to organic growers, the former president of California Liquid Fertilizer pleaded guilty to mail fraud, facing possible prison time and more than $500,000 in fines.
Peter Townsley, a 50-year-old Canadian citizen, entered the guilty plea Feb. 22 in Federal District Court in San Francisco. In a Feb. 28 news release, the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Francisco said Townsley admitted to selling the Biolizer XN from April 2000 through December 2006, grossing more than $6.5 million from it.
Details of his plea agreement are not open to the public. Sentencing is scheduled for June 13. Townsley faces up to 20 years in prison on each count of two counts.
The U.S. Attorney's Office announcement said the plea agreement was the culmination of a two-year investigation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Inspector General and the FBI.
However, as early as 2004, the California Department of Food and Agriculture knew about Townsley's activities, according to a December 2008 article in The Sacramento Bee newspaper.
At that time, The Bee reported a former employee of California Liquid Fertilizer told state officials the company had been using ammonium sulfate in Biolizer XN. The substance is not approved for use in organic operations.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture forced the company to halt distribution of Biolizer XN two years after the employee contacted officials.
In early 2009, The Packer interviewed officials from the California agriculture department and organic produce company Natural Selection Foods LLC, San Juan Bautista, Calif., about the situation.
Jay Van Rein, a state agricultural department spokesman, said in 2009 the department's inspectors were "immersed in the 2006 E. coli outbreak linked to spinach" when he was asked about the 2004 report from the former employee.
A spokeswoman for Natural Selection Foods LLC told The Packer in January 2009 that some of its 150 growers had used the non-compliant fertilizer. The company instituted a verification process almost immediately for growers using liquid fertilizers to ensure the integrity of its produce and reassure consumers.
Ultimately a federal Grand Jury indicted Townsley June 1, 2010, for mail fraud because he mailed forms to the Organic Materials Review Institute stating that Biolizer XN was made with fish, fish by-products, feathermeal and water, even though he had modified the formula to include aluminum chloride and later aluminum sulfate.
Townsley was apprehended at Los Angeles International Airport Oct. 9, 2010, while he was en route from Mexico to Canada. He was released on Oct. 12, 2010, and remained free after the bail was increased on Oct. 15 to $350,000.
A superseding indictment filed July 7, 2011, charged Townsley with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and seven counts of mail fraud. He pleaded guilty to two counts of mail fraud, admitting to sending the OMRI renewal forms for Biolizer XN in 2005-06 that included untrue statements.

Topic: Cyberknife for Klatskin - Too good to be true?
My mom has a Klatskin's tumor (5 cm). No metastasis visible in CT Scan. We met the Stanford Tumor Board. They came back to say that her tumor was not resectable because it encased the portal vein. However they proposed to treat it with stereotactic radiosurgery (Cyberknife). In this procedure they mount a whole array of radiation guns and point it at the tumor and deliver a full dose in 2 hours. The guns are mounted on robotic arms to adjust for movement caused by breathing etc. The radiation oncologist Dr. Albert Koong claimed that this 2 hour procedure is all that is needed. Side effects for 24 hrs (nausea etc..). He also said that this particular tumor was ideal for this treatment because of its location and size -- the exact opposite of what we heard from the surgeon.
Is this too good to be true? Has anyone heard/experienced this procedure? I understand that this has been used effectively for pancreating cancer. Any information on how this has fared against cholangeo and liver cancers?
Some of the questions I have been prepped to ask are:
- what happens to the encased portal vein? can it thrombose?
- how are the hepatic/bile ducts affected?
- what happens to the radiation passing through the liver?
Any thoughts, comments, information greatly appreciated.

Canon PowerShot SX700 HS Digital Camera
The stylish and pocket-sized PowerShot SX700 HS camera features an impressive 30x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 25-750mm zoom range), built-in Wi-Fi, and Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities helping to ensure high-quality images can be captured and easily shared. The 30x optical zoom PowerShot SX700 HS camera combines a 16.1 megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 6 Image Processor to create the Canon HS SYSTEM - allowing for excellent low-light performance. With Canon's Intelligent IS, the PowerShot SX700 HS camera automatically chooses from various settings to help optimize image stabilization for the shooting condition.

No matter the situation, you can be confident that the PowerShot SX700 HS camera's genuine Canon 30x Optical Zoom will capture images with exceptional brilliance and clarity. Canon's innovative Intelligent IS system analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the shooting situation - allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your shot. And Zoom Framing Assist delivers automatic tracking, so you can easily reframe long-zoom shots without losing your subject. Even the camera's easy-to-grip shape is specifically designed for a secure hold and steady shooting.
The PowerShot SX700 HS camera features a 16.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor to make even your everyday photography remarkable. The large sensor takes in more light, so images are clear and beautifully detailed. High ISO shots are particularly impressive, with less noise and expanded dynamic range.

In addition to its super-powerful 30x Optical Zoom, the PowerShot SX700 HS also turns out impressive artistic photos with Creative Shot mode. Rather than randomly applying filters, Creative Shot mode takes advantage of advanced Canon technologies to analyze the individual scene, subject and exposure to apply any of 46 filter options. In addition to the original shot, the camera automatically produces and saves five additional variations of the composition. Filter choices are grouped into Retro, Monochrome, Special and Natural categories to make exploring the world of artistic photography fun and easy, or simply select Auto to access the full range of effects. With Creative Shot mode, the result is stunning artistic photos that are perfect for sharing.
The PowerShot SX700 HS not only preserves your special video memories with spectacular realism and detail, but also does it in a format that makes them easy to share. You can simply press the dedicated movie button to start and stop video recording, so you're always ready to capture the moment as it happens. The camera records in stunningly realistic 1080p Full HD so even when played back on a big-screen HDTV, your videos are crystal clear, with smooth action and beautifully natural color. You can choose to record in 30 fps or 60 fps, so even fast-moving subjects are captured with crisp detail. And videos are recorded in MP4 format, perfectly sized for quick online sharing - whether you're showing relatives what the kids are up to or posting status updates on social networking sites.
