An undescended testicle (also known as cryptorchidism) is a testicle that remains up in the abdomen or groin instead of moving down a tube into the scrotum shortly before birth. It's not unusual for a baby boy, especially one who arrives early, to enter the world with one or two undescended testicles. Because testicles start their descent into the scrotum about eight weeks before birth, it is more common in premature babies. About one in 30 full-term newborn boys has this condition.
If your baby has a shy testicle or two, his scrotum will be smaller than normal and may look asymmetrical. Your healthcare provider will thoroughly examine your baby's genitals during his initial exam to confirm that both testicles have dropped into the scrotum or at least into the canal just above it. If they haven't and they don't come down within 3 months, the child should see a pediatric urologist.
No one knows for sure. There may be a hormonal imbalance in the mother that causes the testicle or testicles to stay hidden away, or the baby may have an abnormal response to his mother's hormones. Sometimes a fibrous growth blocks the path of the testicle, or the muscles that help to bring down the testicles don't work properly.
Luckily, the condition corrects itself within the first year in about two-thirds of cases. If both testicles haven't descended by the time he's a year old, your child will require treatment before he turns 2. There are two ways to fix the problem:
Testicles don't seem to mature normally when they aren't in the scrotum, so undescended testicles can increase your child's risk of developing testicular cancer and infertility later in life if left in place for more than two years, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. In very rare cases, an undescended testicle can twist, cutting off its own blood supply and causing pain in the groin or scrotum.

A new year ... a fresh, clean start! It's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on! A day full of possibilities! It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy ... let's go exploring!"
― Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes: It's a Magical World
I also have the love/hate relationship with snow. I was getting used to not having any and then it appeared yesterday! I could do better with it if the sun would shine. The cookies are true works of art, just beautiful! My new year holds change and transition, it's a good thing the Lord is directing. I'd mess it up on my own. Have a wonderful day, Kathy!
Your snowflake cookies are very pretty. It doesn't snow where I live, and I agree, fresh white snow is fun, slush and ice not so much.
I'm not a fond lover of snow either. The snowflake cookies would be enough for me too which by the way are beautiful. Who knows what the new year holds? All I know is that I plan on holding on to God's hand so that whatever happens I will be able to handle. I am determined to make 2013 a good year!
Those are so gorgeous!
Everybody seems to be able to do this but me. They are so professional!
I am without a goal or idea for the new year...help me out LOL.
Oh! And I LOVE SNOW!!! I LOVE COLD!!!
I complain in the summertime :)
Your cookies are beautiful! We didn't have snow this year for Christmas, though for the last couple of days we have had winds up to 70MPH and freezing cold temps.
I do love snow, but I don't have to drive in it, I can stay home and view it from inside, plus here in NC we only get a few snow storms per winter.
We, too, got a surprising amount of snow. Just love your quote! Perfectly captures that wonderful joy of snow.
We had our first "dumping" last night and into the morning...and I think it will be with us for awhile. According to the newspaper the last time we had this much snow was March 2011! So I guess we haven't had it too bad. Love those cookies Kathy-- you make everything look so gorgeous!
I feel the same way about snow. It's so pretty when it's falling but so depressing after it turns gray and slushy. None here so far except for a few light dustings. Your cookies are just so pretty! I wish I had your talent.
The New Year, hmmmmm. I pray all of the blessings I have been counting continue. And for you, too!
Your snowflake cookies are so pretty!!
We got a blizzard the day after Christmas...we got 6 inches of snow, but my in-laws that live an hour north of us got 12 inches and drifts that were 4 to 5 feet!!
Merry Christmas! We had snow and it made a wonderful day even more special! It's snowing this morning and IT feek all snug and cozy in my sewing room. Happy weekend and Happy New Year!! xoxo
We love snow here! I just don't like the cold that comes with it. I REALLY enjoy it from the comfort of a really warm house! Your cookies are just beautiful.

As part of the CPAI'05 workshop, which is held in conjunction with CP'05, there will be a CSP solver competition. With this competition we intend to further some of the goals of the workshop. Hopefully, it will allow us to improve our understanding of the sources of solver efficiency, and the options that should be considered in crafting solvers. In particular, issues of interdependence and interaction among features can perhaps only be elucidated by comparing and testing actual implementations. We also hope that efforts like this will further our understanding of the important dimensions of performance, for example robustness or versatility as opposed to problem-specific efficiency.
The competition is open to anyone. We co-ordially invite contestants to submit solvers and benchmarks. Each contestant is allowed to submit two solvers. Contestants are expected to (a) submit a short paper (3 to 5 pages) to the CPAI'05 workshop about the main implementation details of their solver or (b) submit a regular paper (between 5 and 15 pages) with a more detailed description of their solver. In addition they are expected to fill out a questionnaire. The results of the competition will be evaluated at the CPAI'05 workshop. At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop. However, this requirement may be relaxed for short (3 to 5 page) papers describing the implementation of a solver submitted to the competition.

This year's CPAI proceedings consist of two volumes. Volume I covers the "regular" part of the workshop. Volume II covers the First International Solver Competition. Participants of the workshop will receive a printed version of Volume I and will recieve Volume II on a DVD. The DVD also contains Volume I and all the problems that were used for the First International CSP Solver Competition.

Rules and regulations
This section briefly describes the rules and regulations for the solver competition. Since this is the first time we are organising such a competition there are some restrictions about the kinds of CSP that will be allowed. The organising committee decided to introduce these restrictions for two reasons:
The following are the rules and regulations.

Format specification
There will be two standard problem formats. The first is a problem specification in XML format. A formal description of this format may be found by following this link. The second specification is in table format. A formal description of this format may be found by following this link.
Each problem description will define a unique basename, which is a short character sequence. When submitting benchmarks, the basename should convey some information about the nature of the problem. However, when running the competition, the basename will be modified to ? so that it doesn't convey any information about the nature of that problem.

How to enter?
Submission of solvers is open to anyone. Contenstants are expected to register for the solver competition. To register, they are invited to send an email to email@example.com from May 3 on using the subject line "Solver Registration". They will then be given a username and an account for the machine that will be used for the final evaluation, where they can install their solver. Contestants will also be contacted by the organising committee to provide some basic information about their solver and which categories they wish to enter. Contestants are expected to submit a paper to the CPAI'05 workshop outlining the main implementation details of their solver. Each contestant is allowed to submit up to three benchmark problems in one of the standard input formats. These problems will be added to the problems that will be used for the final evaluation.

Posted: Sunday, February 17, 2013 -- 6:16 a.m.
WAUPACA, Wis. (AP) -- An Oklahoma man charged with a 1990 sexual assault in Wisconsin and considered a person of interest in a 1992 double murder will stand trial in the assault case.
Forty-one-year-old Glendon Gouker waived his right to a preliminary hearing Friday in Waupaca County.
The Post-Crescent reports an arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 27.
He's accused of sexually assaulting a then-20-year-old woman in November 1990 in Iola (eye-OH'-lah).
The break in the case came in 2011, when evidence was resubmitted to the state crime lab for analysis as part of an investigation into the 1992 fatal stabbings of 23-year-old Tanna Togstad and 35-year-old Tim Mumbrue.
Sheriff's officials say Gouker is a "person of interest" in the homicides.
Gouker was extradited from Oklahoma, where he's charged with killing a 19-year-old man.

According to Linux.com, IBM hopes to target the enterprise market with this software. The goal is to provide Lotus Symphony as a free alternative to Microsoft Office, while charging $25,000 per year for support. Of course, if you know how to use word processors, spreadsheets, and presentation applications, you probably won't need to spend the money. But you also might not find much in Lotus Symphony that isn't already available in its open source cousin, OpenOffice.org.
So what's new in Lotus Symphony 1? Here are a few highlights:
- Critical crash and freezing issues have been fixed
- Improved performance when creating new documents, spell checking presentations of spreadsheets, redrawing a presentation page, saving PPT files, and performing other actions
- Improved interoperability with Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org, and SmartSuite documents
- Added support for 4 more languages, bringing the total to 28
thanks Hessel Olijve!

UofL Theatre presents 'Much Ado About Nothing'
A "with-it" production that takes liberties with Shakespeare's classic comedy
"Much Ado About Nothing" a comedy by William Shakespeare, will performed by the University of Louisville's Department of Theatre Arts November 14-18, Wednesday through Sunday.
The play about gossip and getting played will be performed at 8pm nightly plus matinée at 3PM on Sunday. All performances are at the Thrust Theatre, 2314 S. Floyd St.
Directed by James Tompkins, associate professor of theatre arts, the show's staging will be very different from traditional presentations. Tompkins promises surprises for audiences who may think they are familiar with the plot.
"The production will be a modern take on the story," Tompkins said. "We have a cast of 22 who are looking forward to engaging the audience in the fun."

Nortel widens telecom tubes with 40Gb/s optical cards
Nortel is showing off some new optical networking gear for telecoms, made to push bandwidth-clogging applications at a blazing 40Gb/s without an infrastructure overhaul. The Toronto-based vendor has fired up trials for its 40G (and eventually 100G) Adaptive Optical Engine cards that slot into the massive OME (Optical …
40G and 100G, not just for the telecom kids.
What's interesting here is in relatively short order, desktop motherboards will include 10GbE interfaces and server motherboards will probably have 40GbE.
Intel's Eaglelake chipset due out late this year will have 10GbE. I'm not sure if that is copper or optical, or both. 10GbE included in a stock system basically turns it into a very attractive box for adding to a cluster. Intel released a document showing what looked to be an arguement to somewhat skip 10GbE interfaces as this generations preferred jump, to go to 40GbE ASAP. The same paper said that 100GbE won't be affordable for the mainstream until 2015 or 2020.
That being said, I'd like to forward on the rumor of eventual low cost, off the shelf, mass-produced 32nm 100GbE interfaces in 2010-2010 via IBM's 32nm partnership program. IBM wants a low cost way to interconnect those massive arrays of POWER7 based systems. (just a prediction....)
... and rumor #2, 40GbE Sony PlayStation4 PS4 interconnects. 10GbE will probably suffice, but 40GbE will give it the extra kick for those 100,000 node clusters that the government needs to build SkyNet. At these speeds, PS4 clusters will behave like a big nasty IBM mainframe.
.. another prediction, by 2013 - real time high-def audio/video data is migrated from the HDCP ruined HDMI standard to 10GbE/40GbE home networks. Streamed with H.264 AVCHD, and made universal. Any display device anywhere can display AV from any other device anywhere in the home. PC's begin to virtualize their AV content into IP streams served by Teradici's PC-Over-IP technology. DisplayPort and HDMI begin to go the way of composite cables. :) (ok this one is just a big wish).
Not just star wars kid....
... Numa Numa must also bear the blame.
mvrx scribbled: What's interesting here is in relatively short order, desktop motherboards will include 10GbE interfaces and server motherboards will probably have 40GbE.
Host interfaces have always been easier to design than long-haul interfaces. It's the difference between 100m and 50,000m.
(Paris, because she's easy from any distance)
@Numa Numa
AARRGGHH!! The only thing I hate more than the video is when people call it "Numa Numa!" A bunch of stupid, retarded American teenagers called it that because that's the closest they could get to understanding a foreign language. They probably thought he was speaking in tongues or something. But this side of the pond we should know better. It's called "Dragostea Din Tei," it's by Ozone, and it's a rubbish, but the video is a laugh.
Interestingly enough for fans of Internet memes, the words "nu ma" from Romanian appear, as far as I can tell, to translate to "don't want." Or "DO NOT WANT," if you prefer.
Hard part is 100mtr -> 1000 km at 10 and 40Gb.
Going 100m is easy, 50km at 10G has been around for a long time.
The really hard part is getting 10Gb and 40Gb to go further than ~100km.
10Gb pulses of light start to merge together after 100-200km because of dispersion (some components of the pulse travel faster than others).
Up till now you had to put in expensive optical delay compensation filters to correct the dispersion.
At 40Gb the problems get 4 times worse - i.e. the light gets mushed after 25-50km, or you had to go through power hogging electro-0ptics every so often (very un-green).
The Nortel approach cleverly gets round this using techniques similar to those formerly applied to radios and modems - (i.e. Quadrature transmission, dual polarization and line compensation), except scaled up many times to operate at Optical line rates.
Yeah, put some buzzwords together, call it "prediction" and surely facts will follow :-P
but the most important question....
will I get my pron quicker?
mines the one with hustler in the pocket...
@ John Miles
Yes it is an issue hence on optical networks you will find ILA (In line amplifiers) and ILR (In line regenerators) every 70kms or so. These are swapped dependant on the overall distance covered between the main bits of kit at either end.
The ILA's just bump up the signal and the ILR's reshape the signal from a more wavy curve to be a more square binary light pulse.
Interestingly the speeds keep increasing for the end cards year on year however the ILA's and ILR's keep handling the increased speed as they are relatively non-complicated bits of kit. Remember that those lovely fibres across the pond also need these things, so you will find them under the sea every 70ks or so and they have been doing this for quite a few years.
OME6500> Massive.
No it's not. it's a medium size, very flexible piece of kit, however if you want massive, then the HDX is where it's at. Huge multi terrabit optical x-connect, ASTN capable etc with something daft like 32 10 gig ports pre shelf, over 2 shelves...
The 6500 wins out though as it (should) support PBT...
Added to that comes the issue of power consumption by high speed electronics, and while 10G is relatively cheap in that respect, 40G not so yet. And that is still one of the issues that telcos are currently battling......
@John Miles
"At 40Gb the problems get 4 times worse - i.e. the light gets mushed after 25-50km, or you had to go through power hogging electro-0ptics every so often (very un-green)."
Actually, it gets 16 times worse. The effect is proportional to the bit rate squared :( So your signals get "mushy" after a few km until dispersion compensation is used.
@Glen Turner
Well, I did only say "What's Interesting".. I didn't say people would be plugging their desktop 40GbE NIC into a 45 mile fiber line they ran out to their gaming buddies house. ;-)
However, I guess it is possible for a really brightly lit enterprise adaptor to span more than the minimum 100 meters (330 feet) and the 10 kilometers (6 miles) second level minimum.
At least they call it "Numa Numa" ... over here (Mexico) it was known as "maiahiiii", or its even more popular version: "Marica tu" (you gay) from the "Pluma gay" sketch some Spanish comedy program made. Though the song did hit the top-10, so we did learn rather quickly the song's called "Dragostea din tei" from O-Zone. ;)
As for high-speed fiber ... isn't there a crapload of "dark fiber" that could theoretically be lit up? Its about time we start putting into use those dot-com burst leftovers...

Galena completes enrollment in GALE-401 Phase 2 clinical trial
Galena Biopharma announced the completion of enrollment in the GALE-401, or Anagrelide Controlled Release, Phase 2 Clinical Trial. The Phase 2, clinical proof-of-concept study is treating 18 patients with elevated platelet counts in myeloproliferative neoplasms, or MPNs, including Essential Thrombocythemia, or ET, Polycythemia Vera, or PV, and Primary Myelofibrosis, or PMF. The Phase 2 trial is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter study designed to confirm the platelet-lowering activity of GALE-401 in patients with MPNs, to assess safety and tolerability, and to measure plasma concentrations of anagrelide. The platelet lowering ability of GALE-401 will be measured by the proportion of patients that achieve a complete or partial platelet response for at least four weeks during 24 weeks of treatment. With enrollment complete, patients will now be followed for platelet response while they continue study treatment.
