Abnormal Specimen of the Bee Mite, Varroa j acobsoni, with some Possibly Original Features (Acarina: Varroidae)
[Abnormes Individuum der Bienenbrutmilbe, Varroa jacobsoni, mit einigen anscheinend urtümlichen Strukturen (Acarina: Varroidae)]

In examining 1000 adult ♀♀ of Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans 1904, a specimen was found with a different body shape and with clerotinized hooks on the inside of the genitoventral shield. Its size resembles the shape of less adapted ectoparasites, and the hooks indicate a different mode of copulation, which is believed to be more primitive, the tocospermy. This kind of insemination by a spermathophore is believed to be more evolved than podospermy which is injection of sperm into openings near coxae III + IV of the ♀. Therefore one may conclude that this abnormal specimen is a mutant which reflects some features of an ancient type in the genus Varroa.

text: cgujral, Thats the link rod and it does go away sometimes and its normal. As for the clutch if you are within the warranty period, then you can insist especially if it is evenly worn. Fiat has not fixed any life for the clutch where they can reject if for eg they say, above 30k kms we will not accept. In the absence of any guideline and being within warranty period, u are justified to claim. I am saying all this because I had got mine replaced under warranty at 35K kms and it was accepted as the wear and the clutch was hard and was even inspected and cleared by the FIAT technician in Chennai. My second set lasted 50K kms Abdul

The 17-year-old girl, who has not been named, was unconscious when she was pulled from the water near Esperance on the south coast of Western Australia after the attack yesterday afternoon. Police later confirmed she had died from her injuries. The beach was closed and surfers warned to avoid the area. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
They were at the popular surf break known as Kelp Beds. The two beaches are less than 8km apart. This resulted in the man losing this left arm and right hand.
He later shared his story with 60 Minutes, recounting the attack in detail.
Police have not said what type of shark was responsible but are being helped in their investigation by the department of fisheries.
In June a year ago, Doreen Collyer, 60, died after being attacked by a large great white shark while diving one kilometre off the Perth coast.
A medium great white shark was seen 150 metres off shore on Tuesday in Two Mile Beach in Hopetoun.
The Australian teen was hitting the waves with her dad in Esperance when the shark latched onto her and grabbed her, according to the Associated Press. It's believed the same shark was spotted twice.

During his recent performance at the Grammys, Bob Dylan was wearing a pair of two-tone, black and white shoes, which caught the eyes of many viewers. I'm pretty sure I've seen him wear them before, whether on stage or in some publicity photo, but I can't be specific. Since then, I came across a similar pair of shoes somewhere else; namely, in the episode of Kojak embedded from Hulu.com below. It's from 1974.
Maybe they're the same shoes, maybe not. I don't think Bob's pair had quite as much in the way of platform, but he could have had them fixed. Anyway, one could do a lot worse than spend fifty minutes watching Kojak, which is one of the truly great police dramas of all time.
This episode features the late Leslie Nielsen in one of his bad guy roles — he always made a nice cold criminal. And, sporting the shoes in question is none other than Antonio Fargas, who soon after this went on to the role of Huggy Bear in Starsky & Hutch, not a million miles from the character he plays here. (Literally-speaking, about twenty-five hundred miles, I suppose … )

How to Do the Dictionary Creative Writing Prompt
Writing prompts can be found anywhere from events in your life to ordinary pictures. Even your own ancestry can give you a story. Stories exist all around us. You just have to stop and notice them. Simple acts can turn into the basis of a huge novel. Stop and pay attention. As you grow as a writer, you'll find yourself going crazy seeing everything as a story line.
You can even get a writing prompt simply from the dictionary. Yes, I said dictionary. It is not just a source of definitions and pronunciations. It can be where to find your next story. Billions of stories exist within the pages of a dictionary.
How does this work? You pull various words from the dictionary. Use no more than five or six. Then use those words to create a short story or flash fiction piece. A short story is usually 700 to 7000 words while a flash fiction piece is 100 to 700 words. This guideline varies but you can use this as a baseline. That's all you have to do. Okay, fine. Let's go into more detail.
Let Me Ask a Question
Have you ever used writing prompts?
Step 1 – Open a Dictionary
This first step might be the hardest. For this, don't use an electronic dictionary. Pick up a print copy, preferably a large one. This is one part that makes it fun. If you absolutely cannot get a print copy, then an ebook version will work in a pinch. I also suggest not using condensed or abridged versions. Why? Because you'll lose out on so many words. The reason for this prompt is to expand your creativity and to challenge you with words you don't use normally.
When you use an expanded dictionary, you get a larger pool of words to pull from. I've also found that the older the dictionary, the more fun you can have as it has words that today would be considered 'out-dated'. Another thing you can do is use the websites that have different vocabulary words shared each day. Go into their archives and use it as a source. But that can ruin the spirit of this. Using a real dictionary is fun and gets your hands literally on the words.
Okay, now on to the next step.
Step 2 – Pick Numbers
Now before you look down at the dictionary, you need to pick your numbers. You'll need to know how many pages your dictionary possesses. Write that number down. For example, in my dictionary there are 1702 pages. That's a big dictionary. So I note that number at the top of a piece of paper. I now know how far up the number scale I can go in choosing different pages to pull words from.
Then I start picking page numbers and word number. For many people doing this creative prompt, they just open the dictionary at random. That can easily be done, but I find that I end up on the same page too often or too close to the same page. I'm not sure how that is, but it happens so I like to choose my page numbers as well. Even then I get close to the same page which I guess is fate.
For my numbers, I look for anything that has a lot of numbers. It can be the nutrition label on a box of cereal or a phone book. I then begin to pick numbers that are within the confines of the number of pages of my dictionary. The first number I note is the page number I'll look for the word on. Then I note the number of the word on that page. If the number in the old phone book is, 867-5309, I might choose 867 as my page number and 5 as my word number. Then page 309, etc. See what I do? Or you can just randomly open the dictionary and be boring. LOL I'll let you decide.
Here is how the list on my page will look:
P(age) – 7
W(ord)1 – 19
So on page 7, I'll chose the 19th word. Then on page 8, I'll choose the third word. Then I continue on down the list the same way.
Step 3 – Pick Words
Now that I have numbers for five words, I'm ready to pick them. For the first word, I turn to page seven of my dictionary. I then count to word number nineteen. That turns out to be 'abut'. Next is page eight and the third word which is 'acanthaceous'. I'm not even going to try to pronounce this one at this moment. From there I go to page thirty and word number six to find 'aiglet'. On page five, word fifteen is 'abranchiate.' On page seventy, word eight is 'appellant'.
Now my list looks like this:
P(age) – 7
W(ord)1 – 19 - abut
W2 – 3 - acanthaceous
W3 – 6 - aiglet
W4 – 15 - abranchiate
W5 – 8 - appellant
Now I have my list of words: abut, acanthaceous, aiglet, abranchaite, and appellant. Before I can use them I have to know what they mean. Good thing I have a dictionary. Knowing what they mean helps me use them correctly. Here are what the words mean:
Abut - to touch along an edge
Acanthaceous - of or relating to the Acanthaceae, a mainly tropical and subtropical family of flowering plants that includes the acanthus; having spiny or prickly outgrowths
Aiglet – variant of a tag or sheath, as of plastic, on the end of a lace, cord, or ribbon to facilitate its passing through eyelet holes; a similar device used for an ornament.
Abranchiate - An animal that has no gills.
Appellant - adj. Of or relating to a court appeal; appellate. n. One who appeals a court decision.
You've done all the hard work. Well, maybe. Depends on your definition of 'hard' and 'work'.

Now you write your short story. You could have one in mind before you start this prompt. That is what happened with me. I had the overall story idea from a dream I had the other night that won't leave me. I have no details, but this prompt will help me fill those in. I'll use these words in my story to help direct it.
If you don't already have an idea for a story, take a few moments and just stare at the words you have chosen. You can use the ones I have picked or you can do your own. Let your muse contemplate on the words. You might even find yourself sleeping on it. Suddenly in the midst of doing dishes or driving down the road, you'll muse will spin out and entire story wrapped around these words. It never fails.
Have fun!

Calcutta, June 17: Around 40 foreign institutional investors have queued up to secure a significant stake in Maruti Udyog. A couple of them have bid for two crore shares each, said merchant bankers managing the initial public offering.
The Maruti IPO of 7.22 crore shares has already been oversubscribed nearly eight times. The government has indicated that it might increase the issue size by 10 per cent or 72.2 lakh shares to retain part of the over-subscription. The decision to do so will be communicated, if at all, to the public after the issue closes on June 19.
Merchant bankers said institutional bidders had already oversubscribed six to seven times. Sixty per cent of the issue or around 4.33 crore shares are reserved for institutional bidders, including foreign investors.
Some of the institutions have bid for the shares at Rs 360, though most of the bids have come in the range of Rs 115-125. (The floor price for the auction is Rs 115.) However, observers say most of these outrageous bids are likely to be withdrawn or changed.
The government decided to reserve 25 per cent of the issue for retail investors. Sources said around 40,000 applications have so far been received.
A number of banks and finance companies are funding retail investors to subscribe to the issue. Most of the retail applications are expected to come over the next couple of days.
Bids for nearly 56 crore shares have so far been received on the National and Bombay stock exchanges. Post IPO, the shares of Maruti Udyog will be listed on these two bourses.
The shares will be listed within a fortnight from the close of issue. The market expects the shares to debut at a premium to the floor price.

Suede: Live and Rockin by BlackBerry
Suede definitely had set Jakarta on fire with its performance at the "Live & Rockin' Concert by BlackBerry" on Saturday. Last night, there's something vigorously alive, specially in the moment about Trash and The Beautiful Ones. They appeared to have everything with all that fantastic songs and the striking image of Brett Anderson. Yes, Suede are certainly one of the most exciting live bands we've ever seen! Totally legendary!

iBeacon 101
iBeacon is a new class of technology that uses low energy and low cost transmitters to send and receive signals. Smartphone apps can be configured to recognize these signals through Bluetooth, and trigger a personalized message as the smartphone approaches the beacon. With the launch of the Apple Watch, Fitbit and other "Internet of Things" devices, at least one third of smartphone users keep Bluetooth enabled – creating a real marketing opportunity for app owners.
Using iBeacons to trigger messages
Carnival allows you to trigger personalized messages to app users based on user behavior, profile, location, and technology, so you can deliver content that's relevant to a user's specific app experience at the moment that has the most impact. iBeacons expand on Carnival's geotargeting capabilities, offering more precise parameters for a user's location.
With iBeacon and marketing automation software like Carnival, you can influence a user's purchasing decision by triggering a message as they near a product counter or grocery aisle display. AMPM, for example, uses beacons to trigger welcome messages as customers enter stores.
Personalized messages with iBeacon + Custom Attributes
For app owners, the ability to pair beacon data with app and customer data is HUGE. With Carnival's Custom Attributes feature, you can segment users by user characteristics that are specific to your app (e.g., loyalty program status, purchase history or visit count). Pairing these user segments with precise locations via iBeacon, allows you to trigger personalized messages at the perfect time for each user.
A cosmetics retailer with a loyalty program, for example, can deliver different experiences to individual customers, even when they approach the same beacon in the same store.
Customer #1 – Five points away from next loyalty reward:
"Hi Anna! You're only 5 points away from your next reward. Enjoy two samples from our Summer Collection with your purchase today!"
Customer #2 – Hasn't made a purchase in 60 days:
"Welcome back Jen! Stop by our counter for a complimentary makeup application and 10% off your purchase today!"
Retail examples and industry trends
Many brands are using beacons to measure foot traffic at the individual store level. At this stage, however, most are not taking advantage of message targeting through iBeacon – and are missing the massive marketing opportunity to provide a better customer experience and influence the buyer journey.
We have seen a few instances of trading audiences, where one brand gives an app access to their beacons in exchange for advertising in that app. This definitely has potential for some win/win partnerships. A sporting goods retailer, for example, may give beacon access to the NFL app, in exchange for running promotion or app install ads inside that app.
This article from last December provides a good summary of what 15 well known companies are doing on mobile, including Virgin Atlantic, Apple, and Starwood Hotels.
Getting started with iBeacon
While most marketers can identify powerful use cases for beacon messaging, they can struggle to execute messages that feel personalized, and not spammy. We think pairing iBeacons* with powerful marketing automation tools like Carnival is the solution. We'd love to discuss your use case – request more info here.
*Carnival pairs with any iBeacon technology, including providers such as Gimbal, Roximity and Estimote.

Irwin Sparkes: 'When we were No1 there was a lot of pressure which I don't miss'
The Hoosiers frontman talks about success eight years after their debut album The Trick To Life hit the top spot, the power of social media and the band's young following.
Q: You've been touring lots of universities lately. How have the shows been going?
A: Really well. We've been having a lot of people come up to us and say our debut was the first album they ever bought, so it's quite humbling. What a difference eight years can make. The students look so young, it's like playing to a room of drunk children, but that probably says a lot about how old I am.
Q: How's the new album?
A: I'm finishing up now, listening to the final masters. It'll be sizzling away in record shops soon, and of course, online. We're right up to the deadline, but we need that, and of course being on our own indie label means we can do more things ourselves, and faster. Our fourth album came out last year.
Q: You were signed to RCA and dropped by them just after your second album came out. Do you miss the major label?
A: You're always going to miss having the multi-million pound marketing budget behind you. When it comes to that, there's a reason artists, even ones as big as Prince, go back to major labels to get their music out after leaving them.
Q: What can you do instead?
A: There is a lot we can do. Social media means we can get in touch with fans directly, for a start. More importantly, it's about managing expectation. There's always pressure to be in the top 3% that's banging out number one singles, otherwise you're not seen to be doing well. But we are still releasing music, playing to crowds, and it's taken some getting used to, but we're pleased with it all.
Q: Lots of bands would've split after being dropped ...
A: I think it's testament to our stubbornness, determination and lack of having anything else to do.
Q: That can't be true.
A: No, I have been writing with other artists, and the other members also have their own projects. We had a lot of mainstream appeal, and we weren't up for the idea of curling up and dying. It was worrying at the time, and we thought, 'This is our life now', when we were signed to the label, album, tour, album ... We were No 1, and there was a lot of pressure to promote it and follow it up, so I don't miss that pressure. I can't imagine what it must be like to be someone like Beyonce, with that expectation. Those stars just can't be free to do what they want.
Q: What did the experience leave you feeling?
A: We all handled it in different ways. For me, it didn't sink in for a few years. Like whenever you're having a bad time, there's some denial and I think I held on to it a bit too tight. But after a while, I adjusted and what constitutes success for me has changed. Lots of people think artistic success is based on commercial success, but it's not. It took me a while not to equate commercial or chart success with artistic success. Being happy is a massive thing. And we are all happy.
The plug
The Hoosiers first album The Trick To Life, released in 2007, went to No 1 in charts. They are due to release their fifth album, The Secret Service on October 9, and start a UK tour the day after. Visit www.thehoosiers.com to find out more.

Things To Do
Lightning looking at free-agent options
The Lightning may decide the presence of young Tyler Johnson will keep them from making a free-agent signing at forward. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Erik Erlendsson | Tribune Staff
July 4, 2013
July 5, 2013 at 06:48 AM
TAMPA - For two days, the NHL opened up a window for free agents to be courted by teams.
Teams were free to bring players to town for face-to-face meetings to make a pitch for a player's services or simply reach out to agents to see if there was mutual interest.
The free agency period doesn't officially open until today at noon, when players are able to sign contracts. But the NHL provided the chance for teams to reach out, get a feel for how things might play out and make preliminary plans on how to round out their rosters heading into the 2013-14 season.
Though this sort of courting period has been used by the NBA for a number of years, this is the first time it has been implemented by the NHL. This year, the period was two days. In future years, the open period will start just after the draft, allowing for more time for discussions to be held.
But the league has been adamant, even sending out a reminder on Thursday, that the period does not allow for negotiating or for offers to be made, and only allowing for interviews.
Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman, like most of his colleagues around the league, was on the phone starting Wednesday morning, with a forward foremost on the shopping list. Tampa Bay has a hole at No. 2 center after the buyout of Vinny Lecavalier, and there are options to fill that role, including Detroit's Valtteri Filppula, Toronto's Tyler Bozak or Mikael Grabovski and Washington's Mike Ribeiro.
Finding out if they fit was part of the early courting process, but it depends on the contract length and salary demands.
"There are some forwards out there in free agency that are interesting," Yzerman said. "But if we are going to bring in somebody long-term for lots of money, it's going to come from a trade."
Should that cost be too high, the Lightning have options to fill the role from within the organization, notably American Hockey League MVP Tyler Johnson or Alex Killorn, who played on the wing for the Lightning after his call-up last season but played center at Harvard.
"We have a lot of young guys coming," Yzerman said. "We really want to give some of our young players the chance to play this year, they have been very successful at the American League for two years.
"We have to give them an opportunity in the NHL."

Celebrities often buy food for the people waiting in line to see them that's nothing new. But Harry Styles went above and beyond: he sent line-dwellers queued for Saturday Night Live some big plates of sliced kiwi.
And, no, it's not just because kiwi is delicious (although it is). Styles, who is the musical guest on this week's SNL, is expected to perform "Kiwi" on the broadcast. And, now, fans are even more sure.

Excited Twitter-ers also reported that Styles had pizza, coffee, and apples delivered as well a well-rounded meal for people waiting in a grueling line for over 24 hours. Perhaps this means Styles will debut an unannounced B-side called "Pizza," or "Coffee and Apples."
In any event, we'll find out soon. And Styles' solo album his first since leaving One Direction comes out on May 12.

Automatic facial landmarking is a key step that enables expression analysis, 3D model generation, pose estimation and even facial recognition. Our center is aiming to improve existing automatic landmarking methods to not only deal with frontal faces, but off-pose ones as well. Our focus is on better modeling facial shape and the texture around a dense set of facial landmarks. Presently our implementation obtains high accuracy when fitting unseen images (with pose variation between -30° and +30°) from outside its training set and outperforms several existing methods.
Outcomes: an advanced automatic facial landmarking system.

Letter(s) from Polina Dubrovina to Dag (Norway)
Letter 1
Hello dear Dag!
I'm pleased to receive the answer from you. For me it is pleasant to find the new friend from other country. It will be interesting to me to learn about your life and to share with you histories from my life. So, I want tell you about myself: My name is Yana Potapova. I have been given birth in Tyumen, that the western Siberia is, it is the Asian part of Russia. I'm 29 years old. My Happy Birthday on January, 3, 1978. Why I search to myself for second half outside of Russia? Earlier I had relations with Russian man, but among them there was no that person with which I could feel like happy. Probably therefore I was not married earlier and I have no children. Many Russian men are rough, they to beat the women. Even at me the case when my guy has struck me because of that was that I was late to him for appointment for 15 minutes. He has made a row with me to jealousy. After that I have begun to hate him and we have parting. I think that only the coward is capable to beat the woman. Also many men to use alcohol in many quantities and they do not know a measure. It is similar to a syndrome of the addict. I don't want to have such husband and the more so to give birth from them children. In my life there were not many men. I have decided to connect my life with foreign the man because they are more polite to the women. They are able to appreciate, respect and protect the women. I have found out it from my girlfriend Oksana which also have found foreign the man on the Internet. His name is Mike, he lives in France, Paris. They corresponded on the Internet and he has invited her to France. There he has suggested her to marry and she has agreed, because they have really grown fond each other. She has carried out the month to her lives together with Mike. Now she has returned to Russia to finish necessary affairs on work and then she will go to live to France. Their wedding will take place in the beginning of October. I am very glad for Oksana, that she has found her favourite person. Now I also am concentrated on search of my second half. I hope our dialogue will be interesting also we can learn about each other a lot of interesting. I will tell to you about my family, work and hobbies in mine next letter. ok? You can share with me your vital problems, I am always glad to listen and help my friend good vital advice. I be able to store secrets, you can trust me completely. On it I finish my letter. I with big interest will wait your answer with information on you, your city, work, family. Also it will be pleasant for me to receive your photos.
Sincerely yours, Yana.
Letter 2
Hello my friend Dag!
I'm very glad to got your letter, I read it with big interest. Now I know, that I have a friend to whom I can tell about my life, hobbies and problems has appeared. The friend who can listen and understand me... You can shares with me about all. You can be sure, that you have good friend who will listen to you and will try to understand you. You can ask to me any questions and I shall try to answer them. I want to tell to you about life, work, family to get know each other better... Now I want to tell you more about myself: I live in Tyumen in an apartment of my parents. My parents were lost at accident in a road accident in 1996. During that moment to me there were 18 years and it was the most terrible day for me in my life. I remember that day and never I can probably forget because I have lost two my most native people. Even today it is hard for me to recollect that time. After their death I have lost sense off by a life and I did not want to live. But in this heaviest for me the period I was helped by my aunt Lena. she is the native sister of my mum. My aunt had to work on 2 jobs. Money which she earned sufficed to pay only taxes, to buy products and the most necessary things for me. I am grateful to my aunt for that that she has not thrown me during a hard time. Now she three years lives in India. Her husband has found perspective work there and she has left with him. From cousins I have only my brother which is more younger than me on six years. He is the son of my aunt Lena and he also lives in India. So in Russia I actually have no close relatives. My daddy worked in Police, was the colonel. Mum worked as the Doctor. After school I have acted in Tyumen Pedagogical University and the trained as the Teacher of initial classes. After that I worked as the teacher to school. I taught Russian and the literature for initial classes, children till 10 years. I very much love children, probably therefore I chose a teaching profession. I very much like to work with children. Children are ours the future and all our hopes are assigned to them. I studied English at university and the translator is not necessary for me. I can suppose small mistakes, I ask to forgive me for it. Now I do not work because I pass additional rates by my trade. My study will end in in two weeks and after that I shall pass examination and after that I can teach more senior children. A little about my interests: I like to listen music in the mornings, it gives me a necessary good mood on day. I prefer to listen the western executors: U2, Celin Dion, Shakira, Madona. Also there are some Russian executors: Zhana Friske, Serebro, Dima Bilan. I like to read. I prefer Russian writers: Pushkin, lermontov, Tolstoy. I very much love verses Anna Akhmatova. From films I prefer as The day after tomorrow, Armagedon, 300 Spartans, Troy, Gladiator, King Arthur. Is the greatest films and I can look them on some times. So I have told to you about my life. I want to know more information about you. Also for me it will be pleasant to receive more your photos.
Oh, my letter has turned out rather big. I hope you will not tire at reading my letter?!:)))
I with the big impatience will wait your answer.
Yours faithfully,
Your girlfriend Yana.

It would be very pleasant for me if it was mutual. I want to tell to you about a life in Russia. Russia, very big instead of steady country in one end of people of Russia lives well in second half, it is more likely worse. It depends on economic growth of area. People in Russia excellent some from them are kind, the some people are ill-intentioned. I work to feed me very much, but I do not complain of my life.

Here people have set of large firms and they live rather well. Our city has the big economic development. I also want to inform you that I love sports. Football, Hockey, Tennis, Biathlon are most interesting to me. In the winter we frequently together with my girlfriend go to ski, we run to support our health in the mornings in the summer. Sports are very important for health and I think that every morning it is necessary to do morning exercises. It allows me to concentrate on my work. Also I love a camping.

We have been seeing Dr. Fierson for almost 20 years. He had saved my daughters eyesight. If he retires I do not know where we will go?

Dr Fierson treated my son's lazy eye after 2 eye doctors said it was too late. My son now sees 20/20 in both eyes!
A positive experience
Posted on October 25th, 2013
I was referred to Dr. Fierson by my daughter's pediatrician for a consultation to determine if she had Strabismus. It took about a month to schedule and confirm an appointment with Dr. Fierson, but this was expected since he is a specialist. I finally made it to my appointment today - I drove 2 hours just to see him, but it was well worth it. The lobby was already packed with patients by the time I arrived at 8:10a.m. I waited about 30 minutes to be seen and had eye drops put in (per the staff's suggestion, I had downloaded all the necessary forms to be completed to eliminate additional wait time. You can download the forms directly from the website), and another 2 hours for my daughter's eye to be fully dilated - it was a VERY LONG WAIT, however, it was a necessary process so I did not mind the wait. There are toys, books, and a television for the children, so all the kids were happy. I love Dr. Fierson's exam rooms and lobby area because it is filled with photos of possibly his family, as well as greeting cards and hand-written notes from his happy patients. Dr. Fierson was very professional with me, but yet gentle, with my 8 months old baby. He seemed to enjoy working with children, and that is what I liked most about him. I told my husband (at the time before any diagnosis) that I felt comfortable and already felt a sense of trust towards him if there would be a need for any surgeries to be performed in the near future. FORTUNATELY, my daughter was confirmed to only have Pseudostrabismus (false crossed-eye), so I was extremely relieved when I left the doctor's office. I would definitely recommend Dr. Fierson to anyone who may need to find an Ophthalmologists for their child.
Incompetent people running the office!

Very bad accounting department. People are rude and ruthless. Always threatening customer with collection agency. It was their fault for filing with claim wrong but made it a responsibility of the customer for payment by way of collection threat. Very bad service.

Office staffs are nice and friendly. Doctor Fierson himself is however not...no eye-contact with the parents to begin with. Showed impatient when questioned were asked (Have had a bad day?). Office rooms are equiped with toys and a movie was played while examing my kid's eyes, so that somewhat helped. I'm sure he is very knowlegeble in his career field, but come on, you're a PEDIATRIC opthamologist ! Show some interests on the kids, your PATIENTS !

text: I am wondering if many Manufacturers poll Contractors and Distributors about what they want in a fixture or transformer or do they predict the market/want to change the market with their products and decisions. I would think many manufacturers would want to know what the most sold fixtures are and at what price the contractors can get in their region. I am not saying they dont do this, I would like to discuss it a little more. Most of my field recommendations to manufacturers go unheard. How many Contractors have had much input with their manufacturers? I know what kind of relationship NS has with its contractors in general and how in depth they will go to create for you but what about the others? Just polling Us Lawnsite lighting nerds would bring alot of efficiency to the industry. Sean C.

Suggested Video Use
The overall purpose of the Boost 'em in the Back Seat Video is to increase parents and caregivers' knowledge of recommended guidelines for rear seat and booster seat use, causes of injury, and advantages for booster seat and rear seat use. Caregivers of booster-aged children are a particularly difficult population to reach because they (a) do not consider their children to be of "safety seat" age, and (b) have inherently low perceptions of vulnerability to crash injury (Will, 2005; Will & Geller, 2004). Unfortunately, most current booster-seat programs fail to adequately reach their intended population because they are primarily informational in nature and rely on caregivers to seek out the information. To address this problem, a more aggressive intervention utilizing social marketing and threat-appeal techniques is needed to more appropriately target participation and perceptions of vulnerability (Will, 2005). According to the latest research on risk communication, threat-appeals are strongly supported when they contain both a high threat component and a high efficacy component (Witte, 1998; Witte & Allen, 2000). Threat-appeal tactics are particularly desirable when perception of vulnerability is low, as is the case with parents of booster-aged children (Will, 2005).
To be cost-effective for mass distribution of information, safety advocates should not only focus on communicating risk effectively, but also should consider carefully the best distribution points for the audience. Parents of booster-age children who are not using booster seats do not typically attend safety-seat checkup events. Nor do they view booster seat videos, websites, or brochures on their own. A key social marketing principle ("place") dictates that particular focus should be given to locating appropriate means of distribution that can effectively reach a particular audience (Kotler & Zaltman, 1971). For instance, establishing well-baby clinics, car seat clinics, and WIC clinics at physician offices and health departments as places for the program ensures adequate distribution channels to parents, thus, enhancing program effectiveness.
To that end, the Boost 'em in the Back Seat Video can be best utilized and shown to parents and/or caregivers by making it available to professionals (safety advocates, doctors, nurses, teachers) who regularly interact with parents of 5-8 year-old children. Our ongoing research has shown that the video can be seamlessly integrated into an clinic or doctor's office routine without over-burdening the staff or complicating a parent's visit. For example, previous partner sites have opted to show the video on portable DVD players or on TV/VCRs during the wait-times (in the main waiting area or in exam rooms) at healthcare agencies. Other partners have incorporated the video into their safety trainings for professionals and/or parents. Hospital partners have opted to integrate the video into the closed cable television feed so that the video can be delivered with other health television programs and be shown to patients during hospital stays.
The video can be used in an endless number of ways; however, keep in mind that your method of delivery matters when working with parents. Bear in mind that the intervention must compete and combat many parental biases, including but not limited to:
- low perceived risk regarding crash injury;
- disbelief in the effectiveness of booster seats versus safety belts;
- poor understanding of the power of crash forces;
- poor confidence in their ability to get their children to use a booster seat;
- situational barriers to the adoption of booster seats (e.g., cost, child conflict);
- confusions contributed by legal loopholes; and
- the pressures of social influence stemming from nonuse being normative.
The video is specifically designed to combat these biases, but these very biases also reduce the likelihood that a parent will voluntarily watch the video (even when given a free personal copy). For this reason, we try (when possible) to find ways to show the video to parents rather than just giving them a copy.

text: "2003 Nanny of the Year" Recognizes Exemplary Professionalism [Seattle, WA] – The International Nanny Association (INA) awarded their 2003 Nanny of the Year honor to Seattle nanny, Michelle McNabb. Represented by Annie's Nannies for the past eight years, Ms. McNabb is thought to be the epitome of the professional nanny by the agency's founder, Annie Davis and the agency's President, Suzanne Royer. McNabb takes her profession seriously, creating age-appropriate lesson plans, play dates and menus for her young charges. Above all, as she admits, it is lots and lots of tender, loving care. McNabb's credentials include 11 years of nanny experience and an educational background inearly childhood development. In addition, she's taken and passed two Nanny Credential exams and has maintained membership in the INA since 1993. "I am so proud to be chosen as this year's Nanny of the Year, and look forward to promoting professional nannies during my tenure. I would like to thank Annie Davis and Suzanne Royer at Annie's Nannies for believing in my dedication to this profession and for nominating me for this honor. "I look forward to coming to the INA conferences every year to learn from and network with other professional nannies, anyone of whom is deserving of being Nanny of the Year", says McNabb.

How did the universe really begin? The verdict is in. Lee Strobel investigates the latest scientific discoveries from physics to biology and discovers they point convincingly toward a creator God--for teens and older.
Publishers Description
Has Science Discovered God? When Lee Strobel was a high school freshman, science convinced him that God didn't exist. Since then, however, incredible scientific discoveries have not only helped restore Lee's faith, but have strengthened it. Lee is not alone. More and more scientists, confronted with startling, cutting-edge evidence from many areas of research, no longer believe the universe just 'happened' or that life arose by mere chance. Behind a universe of staggering complexity, they are seeing signs of a Master Designer. Are your science textbooks still telling you the same 'facts' that Lee's did years ago? Prepare to be astonished by what some of today's most respected experts have to say about: The birth of the universe Darwinism and the origin of life The astounding fine-tuning of the cosmos Amazing molecular machines and DNA research Weigh the evidence for yourself. Then consider this question: Could it be that the universe looks designed ... because it is?

Gastro-intestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are rare cancers affecting about 100 Australians annually. Until recently surgery to remove GIST was the only effective treatment. In 50% of people having an operation the disease returns within 5 years.
Imatinib mesylate (IM) is a drug targeting a part of the biochemical pathway that influences tumour growth. The drug prolongs life in people whose GIST is no longer operable. This study compares the impact of imatinib mesylate given after surgery to surgery alone on length of life in people at high risk of the GIST returning.

Xenotransplantation: The production of porcine organs for use in humans.
State of the Art
By definition, xenotransplantation is: the surgical transfer of cells, tissues, or especially whole organs from one species to another.
Xenotransplantation consists of scientists searching for methods to produce in animals organs suitable for transplant into people. Unfortunately the waiting list for heart transplants keeps getting longer and longer. A new source of hearts and other organs could save or improve the lives of thousands of people waiting for tlimited supply of available human organs. Yes, if we had an increase in willing organ donors the need for porcine parts, or xenotransplantation would decrease, and when looking at alternatives pigs appear to be the best choice. This is because the pig is compatible in size and physiology of humans.
Although xenotransplantation has been around for over hundreds of years, successes have been few and far between. The use of pig organs began approximately ten to fifteen years ago. One common procedure is the transplanting of pig heart valves into humans. In an imagined world, xenotransplantation is quite simple. If a patient showed signs of organ failure, the failing organ could be replaced with a suitable pig organ. Xenotransplantation would in turn minimize suffering and physical deterioration if early action is taken. Patients would'nt have to suffer from the depressing experience waiting for a donor organ, wondering if they will be dead before one becomes available. Some scientists believe it may take five to seven years before whole organ xenotransplantation of pigs-to-humans becomes reality. According to David Ayares, chief opperating officer and vice president of research at PPL, "We're now ready to go into pivotal pig-to-primate trials and needs to show in excess 90-day survival before regulatory authorities approve human trials".
Beacause the size of pig organs is similar to that of humans, they are considred one of the best sources for transgenic transplants. If your asking why not a primate as a organ donor instead of the pig, being that the chimpanzee is the primate most appropriate to serve as a donor. Because they share more than ninety-eight percent of their genes with humans. But chimp's are an endangered species and dont breed as well as pigs. Pigs are easily bred at fast rates and in large numbers. The quality of the pig organs in xenotransplantation is also higher, they dont have to be severed from the blood supply and kept functioning until the transplant takes place, which reduces the tissue damage. The pig organs are also healthier because they are bred, fed, and protected from disease with focus on producing organs that are as perfect as possible. Human donor organs have the possibility of coming from unhealthy people. The pigs are genetically modified or have certain genes turned off to over come rejection issues in humans.
Xenotransplantation is important because every day more people are added to the waiting list for ogans. Clinical transplantation has become one of the preferred treatments for end-stage organ failure since the introduction of chronic immunosuppressive drugs in the mid-1980's. Xenotransplantation is one of the novel approaches to dealing with the limited supply of human organs. Over sixty percent of people on the list die before they can recieve an organ. In one study, out of 140 patients referred for heart transplants only about twenty-five recieved the heart they desperately needed. It is estimated that out of the eighty-thousand people who need a transplant each year, only twenty-four thousand recieve an organ. Sadly, many people die while they are still waiting.
The focus of this page is to explain the scientific approach being taken to achieve sucessful pig to human organ transplantation.
Scientific Approach
The technique is progressing at a fairly rapid pace. There have been successful transplants from pigs to sheep. The next step is transplanting from pigs to baboons, which are much more closely related to humans.
Unaltered porcine organs transplanted into other mammals do not last very long. In the article "Xenotransplant" it was said that "Without extremely high levels of immunosuppressive drugs, pig organs seldom last half an hour." By bioengineering pigs to lack certain genes or replace them with human genes it is possible to greatly increase the life of the organ after transplantation. This has been proven in research where the gene for a certain sugar enzyme was deleted from the pig. The hearts of the pigs were then placed in the abdomens of eight baboons. Of these eight baboons five lived between 2-6 months with the aid of immunosuppressants.
There is a sugar protein, a 1,3 galactosyl epitope (determining factor), which triggers immune-system rejection in transplants to humans. Progress has been made to overcome this problem by genetically modifying the pigs and inactivating these genes. Once a genetic change is made in the population, these new "donor animals" can be bred easily by conventional techniques. The major barrier to progress in pig-to-human organ transplants is the presence of the terminal 1,3 (GAL) epitopes on the surface of pig cells. Humans have lost the corresponding GAL activity in the course of evolution and therefore produce performed natural antibodies to the epitope.
Some companies used cloning techniques to produce piglets with organs more likely to be accepted by humans in a transplant operation. The genetically modified pigs lacked one of the two copies of a gene that makes a sugar called alpha-1,3 galactose, the substance that triggers the immune system rejection in transplants to humans. Tissues from these pigs are "completely devoid" of the pig sugar that spurs the rejection. Scientist took skin cells from a pig fetus that already had one copy of the relevant genes knocked out and deactivated the second copy of the gene in the cells.
This pig heart is being infused with blood plasma containing antibodies from a sheep to help it resist rejection when it is implanted into a sheep. (PHOTO COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER)
Tissue engineering is another possible alternative to xenotransplantation. If tissue engineering becomes successful it will dynamically change the field of organ transplantation. Tissue engineering is the process of creating functional tissues using cells combined with devices that facilitate cell growth. Tissue engineering has several applications as a substitutive therapy for organ transplantation. The first generation of tissue engineering is the creation of immunoisolated devices that combine living cells and biomaterials. This technique uses hydrogel membranes as a barrier of the foreign living cells from the lymphocytes of the immunocompatent host.
This approach has very realistic possibilieties for medical devices and treatment. The future of tissue engineering products is with the research of stem cells and therapeutic cloning. The technology of harvesting embryonic stem cells from the inner cell mass of blastocysts introduces the potential to procuce any thype of cell using the appropriate needs for differentiation. This technique would make it possible for biologists to grow any functional tissue or organ. The need for immunosuppression for this technique would be eliminated through therapeutic cloning. This is a process where stem cells are used to tissue engineer organs for transplantation. The organs would be inherently "self" organs, with self-antigens. The immune system would have no incentive to attack the new organ. There are some drawbacks to this therapy which include manufacturing problems. This is because each organ must be created specifically for each individual. There would be a time space between identification of the need for a transplant and production of a fully functional organ. Other problems include the ethical issues surrounding stem-cell research. Controversy with this issue isn't suprising, considering that many stem-cell issues parallel the issues with abortion. Currently, human embryonic stem cells are heavily regulated by the government and viewed by many as ethically repulsive.
Pre-clinical studies on adult stem cell based therapies have been inconsistent, with alot of them resulting in contradicting outcomes. Results of several allegedly successful studies cannot be repeated reliably. As an example, one study's use of marrow-derived adult stem cells to regenrate a significant amount of necrotic tissue in an infarcted cardiac zone was questioned when other groups were unable to duplicate results. Despite problems, tissue engineering is in fact a developing therapy.
Impact (Potential)
Because there are too many people in need of organ transplants and not enough organs being donated, thousand die each year while they wait. The table below shows the number of people on the National Transplant Waiting List waiting for a specific organ. Using the liver for an example, there are there are 7,551 women waiting for a liver and 10,356 men, just in this country, and just for a liver.
Table 1. Number of Individuals on the National Transplant Waiting List as of May 2001
If we were able to take the organs from another animal, in this case the pig, to transplant into humans successfully we may be able to overcome the deficit and save thousands of lives. In addition, with genetic engineering we may be able to make these organs better for transplanting than human organs. The organs may last longer than those transplanted from humans as well as perform better. While we are unable to manipulate the human genome it is possible to do experiments with animals that can be applied to humans.
Associated Risks
There are several risks associated with pig to human transplantations. There are some diseases that can be transferred from pigs to humans. Pigs have a very promising future due to their tissues being relatively free of potentially toxic agents. While many diseases are species specific there are some that can be transferred. One specific example is porcine endogenous retrovirus, which is produced by the pig pancreatic islet cells. Porcine endogenous retrovirus is dormant in pigs. Doctors feel, however, it is possible that transplanting the organs into humans could reactivate the virus. It has been shown in laboratory conditions that the virus can be transferred from pig to human tissues. There is also a fear that xenotransplants may make it easier for viruses to cross the species barrier.
Other risks include the possibility of rejection. There are galactose α-1,3-galactose residues on the surface of pig cells that are not present in humans. Because the human immune system doesn't recognize these residues they will try to destroy the pig cells. The picture shown below is of aortic endothelial cell activation in a pig-primate model of xenographt rejection.
Another major concern is the possiblilty that animal virus residing in a xenograft recipient may become airborn. Because we don't have antigens against this virus (there is no human equivalent) thousands of people might die before a vaccination could be created.
Ethical Issues
There is much controversy about using pig organs for transplant. Some people feel that we don't have a right to kill other animals just to aid our own ends. A specific example is PETA, a very outspoken animal rights group.
Others feel that by putting the organs of a different species of animal into our bodies we will be losing some of our humanity. Individuals view their internal bodies as an extension of their identities, and soon after the xenotransplantation, some patients will realize the consequences of their actions on their self-concepts. Having an animal's organ in one's body has the potential to decrease our self-image despite intense counseling on the neutrality of this occurrence.
Some people view xenotransplantation as an involuntary form of human experimentation violating US laws and UN charters. We can't know the exact effects the organ will have until it is transplanted. And because it may cause diseases to cross the species barrier, people may unwillingly be subjected to new diseases that they wouldn't otherwise contract.
Xenotransplatation is more expensive than human-to-human transplantation (roughly $300,000 per operation, not including the hidden costs of breeding, housing, feeding, medicating, testing, transporting, rendering, and disposing of the waste and remains of herds of transgenic animals) making it unaffordable for most people. While some people are trying to make life better for us, there are others who's only goal is making money. Companies may develop monopolies over artificially engineered and created species, allowing them to charge even more for the organs. As the process is refined these costs will hopefully decrease.
Currently, the wealthy and powerful get first access to transplants. We need to allocate organs as per top priorities. There is hope that using pig organs we will be able to change this, letting those who need a transplant the most recieve an organ first.
