I think Sven's argument in on the side saying, A "matrix" is an object that you expect a certain (mathematical !) behavior from. If some object behaves intuitively right -- that's ultimately pythonic ! The clash is, NOT to see a matrix "just as another container". Instead a matrix is a mathematical object , that has rows and columns. It is used in a field (lin-alg) where every vector is either a row or a column vector -- apparently that's big thing ;-) The whole reason to add a special matrix class to numpy in the first place, is to provide a better degree of convenience to lin-alg related applications. I would argue that it was just not consistently considered, that this should also come with "a column of a matrix is something else than a row -- (1,n) vs. (n,1) and not (n,) more notes/points: a) I have never heard about the m.A1 - what is it ? b) I don't think that if m[1] would return a (rank 2) matrix, that m[1].A could return a (rank 1) array ... c) I'm curious if there is a unique way to extend the matrix class into 3D or ND. -Sebastian

New Delhi: Security agencies were sent into a tizzy ahead of the Republic Day celebrations when a PCR call was received from a man who threatened to blow up the Parliament House on January 26. The call was traced back to Noida following which Anti-Terrorism Squad of Noida police was immediately contacted.
The caller turned out to be a Noida-based man named Sham Lal, who works as a driver for a private individual. He was nabbed from Kapashera border, the police said.
"Sham Lal was then brought to Parliament Street police station in New Delhi, where he was subjected to a joint interrogation by several intelligence agencies. Intense interrogation and through background check revealed that it was a hoax call and he has no connections with any terrorist outfit," a police official said.
A case has been registered against Lal, who is in his early 30s, under relevant sections of the IPC, the official said, adding that he has been sent to the Tihar Jail.
Delhi remains on high alert ahead of the Republic Day celebrations in which US President Barack Obama will be the Chief Guest.

Q3 findings from ATLAS
It's that time again – our quarterly data pull from ATLAS to glean new insight into DDoS attack trends and how they stack up for the year to date.
You can dig into all the data yourself if you download the presentation on Slideshare, or read a full summary in our press release.
Here, I'm sharing a few of the more interesting findings from my own perspective.
Firstly, we've seen a big jump in the amount of traffic we're now monitoring in ATLAS – a pretty amazing 69Tbps of IPv4 traffic at peak, up from 47Tbps in Q2, a 32% increase. This is a significant proportion of overall Internet traffic and gives us a great view into what is going on out there.
(graphic added 14:00est 10/16/2013)
Average attack size is another interesting data point – this year we've seen very rapid growth in the average size of attacks in bits-per-second (BPS), and for the last 3 months its been consistently in the 3-3.5Gbps range. When we look at the graph below, and consider that the average attack size in 2012 was 1.48Gbps, we can see how significant this growth is:
Average attack sizes above 3Gb/sec represent yet another milestone – a milestone we discussed in our blog post on ATLAS stats last quarter. This year attack sizes seem to be tracking up across the board when it comes to bits-per-second, but interestingly the inverse is true for packets-per-second where we are seeing average sizes decrease.
While we didn't witness a Spamhaus-sized 300Gbps attack this quarter, the largest attack size we did see in ATLAS was still pretty remarkable at 191Gbps, an attack that took place in August 2013 – significantly above the approximate 100Gbps ceiling that we had seen prior to this year.
And, we are seeing more very large attacks going on out there. So far this year ATLAS has monitored more than four and a half times the number of attacks over 20Gbps than were recorded in all of 2012.
The data in ATLAS this quarter shows that volumetric DDoS continues to be a global threat, with alarming and consistent increases in attack size. One piece of good news, however, is just how much more traffic we now see in ATLAS; it's a significant proportion of overall Internet traffic, which means we can provide an even more detailed view into Internet traffic patterns and threat evolution than ever before.

Wanyama wins work permit
Celtic have won their case for Victor Wanyama to be awarded a work permit following an appeal to the Scottish Football Association.
The independent four-man panel endorsed Wanyama's application, which is now expected to be rubber-stamped by the UK Border Agency. Celtic had confirmed a deal for the 20-year-old Kenyan international to join the club from Belgian club Germinal Beerschot last week.
An SFA statement read: ''Following an appeal by Celtic FC on behalf of Victor Wanyama, the Scottish FA has today issued the club with a Governing Body Endorsement. The player must now complete his work permit application with the UK Border Agency.''
Wanyama is undergoing a medical at Ross Hall Hospital in Glasgow following his successful appeal, which saw Hoops manager Neil Lennon plead his case via conference call from Australia, where the first-team squad are on a pre-season tour.
Wanyama's work permit application was automatically refused as Kenya are ranked outside the top 75 countries in the world, at 130 on FIFA's latest list. But Celtic convinced the panel that the player, who has 11 caps for his country, would make a significant impact on Scottish football.
Lennon last week stated that Wanyama, who can play in midfield, had been signed predominately as a central defender.

Guest post by Chris Porter
As reported on the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) webpage, 244,217 of America's veterans have been diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injuries since 2000. Through a traumatic injury, traumatic stress or environmental exposures, many of our veterans come home with a variety of issues related to poor brain health. Symptoms might include brain fog, inattentiveness, lapses in memory or loss of focus.
The goal of the memory test on the GI Brain Health site is to help assess the current state of brain health for the veteran and track his/her progress over time. Simply talking and thinking about brain health can help many veterans who never realized that they needed help and encourage their efforts invested into overcoming brain health issues. By continuing to take the memory test monthly, veterans will be able to track their brain health improvement over time.
Prevagen (Pronounced: prev-uh-gen) is a new brain health supplement and functions unlike other brain or memory supplements. Prevagen's active ingredient is a new use for a well-known calcium-binding protein called "apoaequorin" which is found in a certain species of jellyfish.
Prevagen binds to calcium in cells and helps reduce damage to cells that may have been damaged in a traumatic brain injury or due to post traumatic stress. Calcium serves a vital function of cellular communication but excess calcium can disrupt the balance and damage cells. Prevagen helps to restore balance and improve memory problems that may occur due to the invisible wounds of war.
The primary symptoms of a military Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress include but are not limited to: headaches, dizziness, sleep problems, attention problems, memory problems and loss of concentration. Prevagen consumers report benefits or improvements in all these areas. We believe that if veterans struggling with these symptoms include Prevagen in their lives they will see a quality of life improvement.
Indefinitely, any veteran or family of a veteran that signs up for our free memory test will receive a complimentary bottle of the brain health supplement Prevagen. Veterans will then be prompted to take the memory test every 30 days to continue tracking the status of their brain health over time.
I am Christopher R Porter, an Army veteran now working for Quincy Bioscience, the makers of Prevagen. While on active duty with the Army's 3rd Infantry Division I saw and experienced the affect war has on our members of the armed forces. Now I am in the unique place to be able to give back to America's finest – the men and women who fought and continue to fight for our great country! I encourage you to contact me at any time by the email address listed below if you have any questions. I am never too busy to help in any way I can!

Doghouse – Happy Anniversary
Many Happy Returns
"maddog" remembers 20 years of association with Linux, CeBIT, and open source.
I am writing this on the floor of CeBIT, the world's largest computer and telephony trade show. I am sitting in the booth of Medialinx, the parent company of Linux Magazine and various other "open source" magazines. I see from their posters that this year is the 20th anniversary of their flagship publication Linux Magazine, and I realize it is also the 20th anniversary of my involvement with the Linux project, because I met Linus Torvalds in May 1994.
I remember the first time I came to CeBIT. In those days, there was a waiting list to get floor space at the CeBIT show, and "first year" companies did not have a chance for even the smallest booth on the show floor. Linux International had a small booth in a "USA" pavilion, and except for the SUSE booth in another hall, we were the only visible "Linux" booth. The booth was shared by a fledgling Red Hat Software (represented by Bob Young), Caldera Software (represented by Ransom Love), and myself. We were handing out free CDs of Red Hat, Caldera, and (after they brought the CDs over) SUSE to anyone who asked for them.
During the first year I was at CeBIT, two other companies also carried the Linux flag, however. One was SAP, the largest software company in Germany, who liked GNU/Linux as a platform, and the other was an Israeli company called "Magic Software."
We were new to the CeBIT audience and were not really ready for the massive crowds of people reaching out for this operating system that was gratis – and free. Once people understood that we were not charging for the CDs, we often had the crowds surging into the booths, and we would retreat back into the booth to keep from being crushed.
The CeBIT management took notice of the popularity of our booth and suggested that if we could get together 10 or more companies to take small booths, we could have a "Linux Pavilion" of our own.
We worked hard during the next year, and we got the mandatory 10 booths. We had a small row of five booths on either side. Unfortunately, two other vendors inadvertently were included in our pavilion who had nothing to do with GNU/Linux or Free Software. Our pavilion was mobbed with Free Software advocates, and those poor vendors kept saying, "I really have nothing to do with Free Software, but I make really great computer cases!"
The "Linux Pavilion" continued to grow, but it was in Hall 6, and most of the operating system and system vendors were in Hall 3. Eventually, however, we moved to a large, two-story pavilion in Hall 3, where the second floor was made up of offices for conversations and a lounge where people could store their coats and other things. Each year for three years, the Linux Pavilion grew.
After the third year, I became aware of another Linux Pavilion called "Linux Park," which was run by a company called Linux New Media (recently renamed Medialinx). The vendors in Hall 3 were complaining that they did not know which "Linux Pavilion" to be in, and because Linux Park was doing well, I decided not to hold the Linux Pavilion again and to defer to Linux New Media to head up that pavilion, which they have been doing ever since. Still, unless the company was inside the Linux Pavilion or Park, the fact that a particular company used Linux was invisible.
Then, a year after "Tux" the penguin was created, I was walking through CeBIT and saw that one pavilion had a two-foot tall plush Tux doll at the top of their booth, and it seemed to be drawing a lot of attention from various groups of people. A couple of days later, several more large plush Tux dolls appeared in the same hall, and people were running from Tux to Tux. The vendors were beginning to learn that running on GNU/Linux or having tools that could develop on GNU/Linux also drew new customers to their platforms and products.
Today the "Linux Park" has renamed itself "Open Source Park" and is tightly integrated with Mobile Enterprise Park (a lot of which are based on Android, itself based on the Linux kernel). Although a lot of the vendors use GNU/Linux and Open Source as a selling point, others hardly mention it, instead touting free and open source development as a "given" and expanding what we do to "Free and Open Culture" and rapid development through collaboration.
CeBIT is a show that is often cold, wet, and tiring for vendors, but it is satisfying that GNU/Linux has worked its way into mainstream products and services.
Happy 20th birthday, Linux Magazine, and I hope you have many more.

First of all, you should understand that you don't "need" to be judged "severely asymmetrical" in order to receive silicone gel implants.
Silicone implants under the age of 22 are perfectly legal and appropriate for patients who have fully informed consent, and understand that use of silicone implants under the age of 22 is considered "off-label" by the FDA.
Off-label use is something that every doctor does frequently, when a medication is prescribed for another reason than the primary FDA-approved indication. For example, Botox is approved for cosmetic use only for the frown muscles between the brows. I suspect that virtually every physician who uses Botox ALSO uses it for crows feet expression lines, forehead lines, and other areas as well. This is an example of "off-label" use. We're not breaking the rules, we are simply making an informed medical choice in conjunction with our properly-informed patient.
So , yes, it's possible; yes, it's legal; and I do this for my patients who are properly informed and choose that option.
You need to talk to a few other ABPS-certified plastic surgeons; especially those who support the right of properly-informed patients between the ages of 18 and 22 to consent and request the implants of their choice. I do. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

WW11 British Police Inspector helmet, two shoulder pip decals on the front of the helmet. As with a previous helmet posted, this one is also painted in a dark lacquer to subdue the bright white painted Officers helmet. Also interestingly (for the helmet collector) this has a knitted woolen skull cap fixed inside the helmet to keep the head warm, I have a few of these, I do not know if they were issued, or home made.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Arlington, VA, United States, 2014/09/29 - Apple has apologized for the error and allowed customers to reinstall the old version of iOS 8. It plans on issuing iOS 8.2 in a few days. Until then, customers will be without HealthKit and the platform's ecosystem of new apps will have to wait.
Apple's HealthKit has left a bitter taste in consumers' mouths thus far, causing problems during the launch of the much-ballyhooed iPhone 6. The data-sharing platform for mobile health apps was excluded from the phone's initial operating system (iOS 8) due to a bug in its software. It was briefly made available but then pulled from the operating system after the upgrade to iOS 8 disrupted cellular services.
The exclusion of HealthKit upon the phone's launch resulted in a bucketful of delayed app launches, upgrades, including to WebMD's Healthy Target biometric data app, Carrot Fit's workout app and another prominent FDA-cleared medical app that FierceMedicalDevices is aware of.
The holdup is to the benefit of competitors. "HealthKit is just one of many tools that we can use to engage with patients, and there are many others like [Samsung's] SAMI, or Vivametrica," Cleveland Clinic's associate CIO, Dr. Will Morris, told VentureBeat. Cleveland Clinic employs Microsoft HealthVault and has no specific plans to deploy HealthKit at the moment.
Other customers are reporting problems with the upgraded software's Touch ID system used to unlock the phone via fingerprint.
Still, HealthKit appeals to many stakeholders, and the problems are likely temporary. Earlier this month, hospitals affiliated with Stanford and Duke University said they are going to use HealthKit to store diabetics' blood sugar information collected via an iPod Touch.
Bloomberg reports that Apple has apologized for the error and allowed customers to reinstall the old version of iOS 8. It plans on issuing iOS 8.2 in a few days. Until then, customers will be without HealthKit and the platform's ecosystem of new apps will have to wait to launch. But hopefully the affected iPhone 6 owners will be able talk on and unlock their phones in the meantime.
The precise cause of the bug is not known to the public. A problem with data privacy issues would be especially damaging to the platform's reputation. A major part of Apple's healthcare ambitions, HealthKit stores customer's health app data in a centralized location and enables it to be shared with the company's health app as well as those made by others.

Yeah, that's what Pamela Anderson thinks. She says that she doesn't even recognize her augmented boobs on screen because they look sooo much bigger. Oh brother!!
"I think my breasts expand on TV. I swear I don't feel that big. When I look at them on TV, I think, 'Who is that?' It's all lighting."
The lighting? Um, that's a new one. What do you think the lighting does for the photo of Pam above? Heh heh.
Pammie recently told Closer magazine that she does not diet or exercise…
"My kids keep me in shape. I play every sport with them. Football, basketball, baseball – I'm always outside and on the beach, and in the water. I'm vegetarian, but I don't go to the gym and I don't diet."
Pamela and her ex-husband, rocker Tommy Lee, have two boys – Brandon is 10 and Dylan is 9. Pam says tat her boys are "wild" but blames it on the genes…
"My boys are wild but considering their gene pool, they're not too bad! They're definitely not angels but they're great to be around!"
Yeah, I'd like to see how these boys turn out when they grow up, don't you?

Can CO2 Lasers Effectively Tighten Younger Body Skin?
Doctor Answers 3
Franctional CO2 laser for skin tightening on the body
Fractional CO2 can tighten skin on the body. The knees and elbows are the best areas to use CO2 laser. For other areas, CO2 can be effective, but a better choice is Laser Lipo, without actually doing any traditional lipo. The laser under the skin (Laser Lipo) is more likely to tighten skin in areas like the inner thigh.
Fractional CO2 for body tightening and stretch marks
Multiple treatments of Fractional CO2 and Yag laser can dramatically improve the tone and skin resiliency in the knees and inner thighs. These lasers work in unison to improve skin texture. In my Santa Monica and Beverly Hills practice, I also augment the lasers with Melaquin AM and Melaquin PM creams.
Tightening with CO2
Fractional CO2 laser drills tiny columns throughout the skin. As it does so, the skin is vaporized, leading to a tightening effect. Laser CO2 is indicated primarily for wrinkles, pigmentation, uneven skin tone etc. It also does tighten the skin and I have seen great results especially on the face. However, I do not think it is the appropriate device to tighten up loose skin on the knee, inner thigh, elbows etc. The tightening effect is not impressive enough to be useful in these areas. The co2 is not intended to be a tightening device and I do not promote it in my practice as such. Dr. Behnam, Santa Monica

"Harvey," the story of a man whose best friend is invisible to everyone else — and happens to be a man-size rabbit — opens Dec. 9 for a two-weekend run in the Ritz Theatre.
"Harvey," the story of a man whose best friend is invisible to everyone else — and happens to be a man-size rabbit — opens Dec. 9 for a two-weekend run in the Ritz Theatre.
The production by the Theatre of Gadsden is directed by local stage veteran Michael Sweetin, who is directing a cast that includes some of Gadsden's most familiar actors.
"Harvey" is the story of Elwood P. Dowd and his seemingly imaginary friend Harvey, who Elwood describes as a 6-foot-1-and-a-half-inch pooka, or anthropomorphic rabbit. Harvey accompanies Elwood throughout his daily life and, although quite harmless, has aroused fear in Elwood's sister, Veta Louise. Veta is convinced her brother has gone mad and begins the process of having Elwood committed to a sanitarium for psychiatric treatment. Through a comedy of errors, Veta is the one who attracts the attention of the staff, who think she is the one who needs her head examined. In the end, however, Veta learns valuable lessons in family loyalty, diversity and social tolerance.
Tim Doyle plays the affable Elwood, along with local favorite Denise Gibbs Davis as Veta Louise. Other cast members include Amy Carroll Bennett as Myrtle Mae, Juli Thompson Christensen as Mrs. Chauvenet, Clint "Biscuit" Vickery as Dr. William Chumley, Bret Fletcher as Judge Omar Gaffney and Bob van Schaik as The Cabbie. A complete cast list can be found on TOG's website and Facebook page.
Playwright Mary Chase won the Pulitzer Prize for dramatic writing for this work in 1945. It was brought to the big screen in 1950 with James Stewart in the role of Elwood. Three made-for-TV versions have come out, first in 1958 starring Art Carney, Marion Lorne and Elizabeth Montgomery.
Then James Stewart returned to the role of Elwood for the 1972 TV production with Fred Gwynne and Madeline Kahn. "Harvey" returned to TV the third time in 1998 with Harry Anderson, Swoosie Kurtz, Jessica Hecht and Leslie Nielsen.
One reason "Harvey" keeps resurfacing is its timeless morality and lessons of love, acceptance and forgiveness.
The dialogue and mannerisms may seem a bit dated to some, but overall the message speaks across generations and political boundaries directly to the heart of the viewer.
Tickets may be purchased on TOG's website, www.toglive.com, and are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors. The usual online service fee is waived for this production. Special group rates may be available. Write to firstname.lastname@example.com for more details. Harvey will play for two consecutive weekends, Dec. 9 through 18, with the Friday and Saturday shows beginning at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday shows at 2:30 p.m. The Ritz Theatre box office will open one hour before each performance. The Ritz Theatre is at 310 Wall St. in downtown Alabama City.

Can I have a LBL and arm lift done at the same time? My current weight is 155 lbs. and I was wondering how long I would be under for this surgery approximately.
Can I Have a LBL and Arm Lift Done at the Same Time?
Doctor Answers 6
Simultaneous LBL & Arm Lift
I personally would not perform a lower body lift and brachioplasty at the same setting for a couple of reasons. First of all, the LBL is a very long operative procedure and adding a brachioplasty would significantly increase the operative and anesthetic times. Also I feel that you will need to use your arms more for movement after the LBL, which could interfere with healing of the arm lift.
Having a LBL and Arm Lift procedures Performed Together?
Thank you for your question.
The answer really will depend on the patient and his/her medical history. If you are a healthy patient with no medical issues, most likely the procedures can be performed at the same time.
Do your research, choose a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (not cosmetic surgery) and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. From here, you know you are selecting from qualified surgeons. You need to meet with the surgeon, see many examples of their work and talk to patients about their experience with the surgeon and the staff. If there is a way to speak to and meet patients who have undergone a similar procedure, that is usually very useful.
Best wishes.

Combined surgery
The short answer to your question is yes, you can have both procedures done at the same time. However, your PS surgeon will determine your overall health status to see if you are indeed a good candidate for these combined procedures. Also, depending on the length of surgery and the exact procedures that are performed, you may need an overnight stay. Best of luck.

Lower body lift and brachioplasty
A brachioplasty and a lower body lift can be done at the same time if you are healthy. The lower body lift in most cases takes between 3-5 hours and the arms add another 1.5-2 hrs. Good luck.
Lower Body and Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) during the same surgery
A lower body lift or circumferential body lift can correct the sagging abdomen, outer thighs and buttocks. It is commonly applied to a patient who has lost weight or part of a mommy make-over. The incision does go all the way around the waistline, but does address multiple areas. A lower body lift can take about 4 hours and I usually keep my patients over night. A lower body lift can be combined with an arm lift or brachioplasty. This will add approximately 2 hours, but in the right patient and it sounds like you are ideal, this should can be combined. I do not like to do legs and arms at the same time because it immobilizes you too much, but the arm lift and body lift are very realistic combination procedures. I hope this helps. Dr. Trussler
Learn more: http://www.drtrussler.com
Lower body lifts and arms lifts are normally done on the same day
Depending on the patient and the surgeon a LBL and Brachialplasty can easily be done on the same day. Obviously every case is differerent. If the patient is healthy, then a 2-3 hr lower body lift along with a 0.75-1.5 hr arm lift should be easily tolerated. Remember that body lifts and arm lifts are not performed by most surgeons on a regular basis. Therefore beside making sure your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon, make sure they are also an experienced body lift surgeon.
Good luck and thank you for the question.

Patient Comments: Aortic Stenosis - Side effects
What side effects did you have with your aortic stenosis?
Main Article on Aortic Stenosis
Comment from: Pias mom (Finland), 65-74 Female (Caregiver) Published: December 04
My mother, born in 1940, did not have any symptoms of aortic stenosis. With a bad knee she was not running around, but she felt well. One evening she had a strange feeling in her chest, and my sister and I urged her to call an ambulance. Nothing was found at the hospital, so we took her home. Following night she felt a little bad again so we drove her to the hospital, and tests showed nothing. Just before leaving one young doctor who listened to her heart said he would put her through to a cardiologist, just in case. A few weeks later she got a date for surgery, due to severe aortic valve stenosis. And during surgery they discovered she had a bicuspid valve! What I mean to say here is that you might not have any symptoms at all, and if the doctors aren't looking for a bicuspid valve they might not see it. I always had a murmur in my heart, so now I feel I really need to get it checked.
Comment from: Peter, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: March 21
Your explaining of Aortic Stenosis is 100% on target! I am 52 years old and was rushed to St. Francis Hospital back in July and had the Aortic Valve replaced. This column just hit the nail on the head explaining what I was feeling. The main side effect for me was shortness of breath. I could not walk 40 feet or a flight of stairs! I would be out of breath and get chest pains that would go away fast, as I rested. I only remember almost fainting twice, both times while playing golf, thank God for the golf cart, as I held onto the cart for dear life. I was also diagnosed with heart block, and a pacemaker was installed in December. After seven and a half months I am finally feeling somewhat better. I occasionally get dizzy, when I bend over, and I am still getting tired as the day progressed. I am walking for 30 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes on the stationary bike.
Comment from: 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: July 18
I am 20 years old and I am a rower at a University with aortic stenosis. I had open heart surgery when I was 7 weeks old to repair my bicuspid valve. Just a few weeks ago I had my first MRA done and the doctor notified me that the dilation of the root of my aorta is much greater than originally expected. He strongly suggests I do not continue to row. I have never really experienced a shortness of breath or chest pains out of the ordinary during strenuous activity. In 6 months I will have another MRA to see if rowing in fact does have an effect on my heart. My problem has never had an effect on my life and I am deeply hoping it does not begin now.
Comment from: Beth, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: January 27
I was diagnosed with aortic stenosis 3 years ago when I was 58. It was caused by a bicuspid aortic heart valve. For most of my life I had no symptoms at all. However, after I turned 50, I noticed that I was very tired at the end of the day and also became breathless walking up hills, having to stop several times to recover. (I put this down to being overweight and unfit. and thought it was all my own fault!) Fortunately my GP realized there was something seriously wrong. I had the valve replaced with an artificial one 3 years ago and am now able to walk up hills without any problems.
Comment from: Jerry, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: December 16
At age 53 I was diagnosed with a heart an aortic valve issue. I went for ECG every year to monitor and measure the valve, it started at 1.7 mm in 2004 by 2011 it decreased to .7mm. I was symptomatic, with shortness of breath and pain in left arm with exercise. I was referred to a cardiologist in December 2011. On 12/9/11 I had an angiogram (catheter) and open heart surgery and had a replacement valve bovine put in, had oversized valve put in 25mm. Have felt great since.

Saúde Pública [online]. 2002, vol.18, n.6, pp.1765-1769. ISSN 1678-4464. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0102-311X2002000600031.
Although the Brazilian State of Espírito Santo is not considered endemic for Chagas' disease, the sylvatic triatomines occurring there frequently invade houses, increasing the chances of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission to man. The epidemiological pattern of the disease in Espírito Santo was evaluated by a serological survey of 5,243 schoolchildren ages 7 to 14 years, residents of 17 municipalities. Indirect immunofluorescence, indirect hemagglutination, and immunoenzymatic (ELISA) tests were positive in only one person, representing only 0.019% of the total. This result was similar to those found by other authors in previous studies. Based on the results of serological tests it is concluded that the epidemiological pattern of Chagas' disease in Espírito Santo remains stable, despite the intensive destruction of the Atlantic Forest that has occurred in recent decades.

Lor-Rob Dairy Farm 11/8/12
Department of Health and Human Services
|Public Health Service
Food and Drug Administration
New York District
158-15 Liberty Avenue
Jamaica, NY 11433
November 8, 2012
Mr. Richard C. Barie, Owner
Lor-Rob Dairy Farm
10171 Bethany Center Road
East Bethany, New York 14054-9706
Dr. Mr. Barie:
On August 15, 17 and 22, 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an investigation of your dairy operation located at 10171 Bethany Center Road, East Bethany, New York. This letter notifies you of the violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) that we found during our investigation of your operation. You can find the Act and its associated regulations on the Internet through links on the FDA's web page at www.fda.gov.
We found that you offered for sale an animal for slaughter as food that was adulterated. Under section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(2)(C)(ii), a food is deemed to be adulterated if it bears or contains a new animal drug that is unsafe under section 512 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 360b. Further, under section 402(a)(4) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342 (a)(4), a food is deemed to be adulterated if it has been held under unsanitary conditions whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health.
Specifically, our investigation revealed that on or about March 29, 2012, you sold a cow, identified with ear tag #(b)(4) for slaughter as food. On or about March 30, 2012, (b)(4) slaughtered this animal. United States Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA/FSIS) analysis of tissue samples collected from this animal identified the presence of 0.39 parts per million (ppm) of ampicillin in the kidney . FDA has established a tolerance of 0.01 ppm in the uncooked edible tissues of cattle as codified in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) Section 556.40 (21 C.F.R. 556.40). The presence of this drug in edible tissue from this animal in this amount causes the food to be adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(2)(C)(ii).
Our investigation also found that you hold animals under conditions that are so inadequate that medicated animals bearing potentially harmful drug residues are likely to enter the food supply. For example, you failed to maintain complete treatment records. Food from animals held under such conditions is adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(4) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4).
We also found that you adulterated the new animal drug (b)(4) (ampicillin, NADA (b)(4)). Specifically, our investigation revealed that you did not use (b)(4) as prescribed by your veterinarian. Use of this drug in this manner is an extralabel use. See 21 C.F.R. 530.3(a).
The extralabel use of approved animal or human drugs in animals is allowed under the FD&C Act only if the extralabel use complies with sections 512(a)(4) and (5) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360b(a)(4) and (5), and 21 C.F.R. Part 530, including that the use must be by or on the lawful order of a licensed veterinarian within the context of a valid veterinarian/client/patient relationship.
Our investigation found that you administered (b)(4) to one of your dairy cows, identified with ear tag #(b)(4), without following the duration of treatment as stated in your veterinarian's prescription. Your extralabel use of (b)(4) was not under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian in violation of 21 C.F.R. 530.11(a). Because your use of this drug was not in conformance with its approved labeling or your veterinarian's prescription and did not comply with 21 C.F.R. Part 530, you caused the drug to be unsafe under section 512(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360b(a), and adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(5) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 351(a)(5).
The above is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations. As a producer of animals offered for use as food, you are responsible for ensuring that your overall operation and the food you distribute is in compliance with the law.
You should take prompt action to correct the violations described in this letter and to establish procedures to ensure that these violations do not recur. Failure to do so may result in regulatory action without further notice such as seizure and/or injunction.
You should notify this office in writing of the steps you have taken to bring your firm into compliance with the law within fifteen (15) working days of receiving this letter. Your response should include each step that has been taken or will be taken to correct the violations and prevent their recurrence. If corrective action cannot be completed within fifteen (15) working days of receiving this letter, state the reason for the delay and the time frame within which the corrections will be completed. Please include copies of any available documentation demonstrating that corrections have been made.
Your written response should be sent to LCDR Kristen C. Jackson, Compliance Officer, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 158-15 Liberty Avenue, Jamaica, New York 11433. If you have any questions about this letter, please contact Compliance Officer Jackson at (718)662-5711 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

DMX's Wife Announces Separation and Reality TV Series
DMX's wife Tashera Simmons has announced her official separation from the Yonkers rapper, along with a brand new reality series that will chronicle her family's life without him.
Simmons explained to AllHipHop.com that the new show, titled, 'Tashera Simmons: Life After X,' is intended to document her family's struggle dealing with DMX's ongoing drug and legal issues. She also attempted to straighten out the details surrounding her upcoming book, 'Tashera Simmons: Strength of A Woman,' by explaining that it is not solely intended to be a negative representation of DMX."It's not a tell-all, I want to clear that up," Simmons says. "It's a memoir, it's a story about our life, my life and our life together. My side of the story, because I feel like in his book, he didn't really get into detail to better explain it. I'm talking about everything, from my childhood when I was abandoned by my mother and left to take care of my siblings, to when me and Earl [DMX] first met at 11 and we got together at 18 and I'm starting from there until then on… It's a positive tell-all."
Simmons says that she's currently shopping her new TV show to several networks. Her family last appeared on the BET reality series 'DMX: Soul of a Man,' which was recorded in 2006. DMX was released from an Arizona jail on July 6, after serving two months of a six-month sentence stemming from a March parole violation for drug use.

Manchester United fans praying for Louis van Gaal to conjure up a seemingly impossible trick in landing Juventus' Arturo Vidal will finally have to accept defeat this morning and come to the realisation that he's not moving to Old Trafford.
Vidal deal OFF
Sources in Italy today carry quotes from the player himself which state in no uncertain terms that he's not leaving Turin for Manchester, despite the fact that there's been plenty of gossip over the past few weeks suggesting he would.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport the Chilean international said that he was unsure if he would remain at his current club for next season, but that he would be talking with new Juventus boss Massimo Allegri on Monday and wouldn't be making the move to join up with Van Gaal.
The incident in question has drawn criticism from certain sources, with others claiming that Vidal meant he was merely not flying to Manchester when he was pressed for an answer in an airport.
There's been plenty said on the idea of the World Cup ace moving to United before next season, and a number of high-profile individuals have weighed in on the matter. Yesterday former Red Devils star Carlos Tevez implored Juventus not to consent to his departure, whilst part of Antonio Conte's decision to quit was said to be based around the club's plans to cash in if a huge sum was received.
We'll have more for you as the story develops.
Hernandez frozen out
In United news somewhat closer to home it would appear that Van Gaal is desperate to offload Javier Hernandez sooner rather than later. Reports from Spanish newspaper Marca yesterday evening claimed that the 62-year-old tried to stop the Mexican forward from joining up with the rest of the first-team squad in the U.S pre-season training camp, as he aims to freeze him out of the side.
The striker has been targeted by a host of clubs over the last few weeks, but it looks as though Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan could well be the frontrunners for his signature. With a £15million price tag on his head Hernandez is seen as potentially great value for money and Diego Simeone is busy searching for a partner for Mario Mandzukic. Inter meanwhile continue to spend money in order to improve under ambitious owner Erick Thohir.
Bebe exit
It's also looking like outcast Bebe will finally leave the club today, as he signs for Benfica on a four-year deal. The 23-old-forward was largely expected to be one of the first casualties of Van Gaal's campaign, and was left out of the squad travelling to the U.S.

Cena/Rock Promos: Catchphrases, Jealousy, and Twitter
by, 02-29-2012 at 12:19 PM (5485 Views)
Since I've not been at home this week I've not been able to catch the full episode of Raw. I did, however, catch the highlights on wwe.com, and I wanted to give my views on the popular topic of the week; The Rock and John Cena's promos.
John Cena's promo
I said this in my blog from last week, but I'll say it again for the sake of a fair argument. He cut a great promo, and it worked in kicking off a feud which should really have had more put into it before now.
After a week or so to think about it, and read some other blogs on here, I've had some more thoughts on it. It's pretty clear that Cena has used the fact that many fans feel betrayed by Rocky for leaving WWE all those years ago to pursue a movie career as a way to try and win them over. Of course, Cena's feigned anger was a huge help in making it a decent promo, but it was mainly the fact that many younger fans feel like they missed out on seeing one of the best and the older fans' supposed betrayal by Dwayne.
It's a great way to go, and it works. The problem is that us older fans aren't buying it. We aren't as easily influenced as the children, and we all know that given the chance at least 50% of us would take a new career direction if we had accomplished all we could in our current job. That's basically what Rocky did. He did all he planned to do in WWE and moved on to something new. If you really look at it Cena is simply playing the resentment card against The Rock. There might even be some jealousy on his part too in that he knows he doesn't have the option to mount a genuine movie career outside of WWE, but that's just speculation on my part.
All in all, it's a standard scripted promo from Cena, but for once it's intriguing.
The Rock's promo
As you can already tell, I'm not a huge Cena fan. But his promo was smarter and more imaginative than The Rock's.
It was entertaining on every level that you would expect from The Rock, but for me it wasn't as evocative as it needed to be. It was the same thing we've seen the past few times from Rocky. He talked about what his side of the fan base knows - we are bored of John Cena and have been for some time. What it lacked was any real response to Cena's promo. He is being built as the heel here, much like Hogan was for WrestleMania X-8. The problem is that the fans love The Rock more than they ever loved Cena (Hogan had the nWo and the fact that he was a mega-heel in WCW to run with). The idea behind Rock's promo seems to be that they want to turn Rocky into the same heel-type character he was in his 'Hollywood' persona (the wrist notes thing was quite clever), but Cena doesn't have a share of the audience large enough to make it happen at this point.
Basically, I expected better from The Rock in terms of a personal issue with Cena, but he seems to have dropped that just a touch since last year. It needs to hit home on a more personal level for The Rock to really hit a nerve in this build up, but what does he have to work with? Not much at all.
For me Cena cut the better promo overall, but it was due to a major flaw in the buildup over the past year. Cena has been touting about how he doesn't care if the fans love him or hate him for so long it would not be believable if he suddenly became bothered. There's no button to push on Cena, whilst The Rock has a tonne of criticism on him for a) leaving the company to pursue a movie career, and b) effectively acting as the bully in this storyline. You can't really assign The Rock as a bully against Cena since he is more over with the fans - face it WWE, he's missed, not hated.
Hopefully this will develop into something more worthwhile, because right now it looks like another SuperCena storyline, just on a more elevated level because it involves The Rock. And WrestleMania. And the idea of two eras colliding. The ingredients are there - I just hope WWE uses them effectively.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to comment. And as ever follow me on Twitter (@ComingToCinemas) and check out my uploaded content for WWE'12 on the PSN (ajspringer1990).

Plustek 0194/DEMO Plustek SmartOffice PS406U Demo (0194/DEMO)
Plustek SmartOffice PS406U Demo (0194/DEMO)Discover a new level of front-office productivity
Let's begin! You may find the SmartOffice PS406U is the right solution for your scanning needs. Enhanced with innovative features, it offers outstanding price/performance value in a compact footprint, conserving both space and budget. You get fast scanning speeds, a high daily duty cycle and robust paper handling capabilities, all from a compact, desktop scanner. You may feel this scanner delivers solutions for a multitude of imaging applications. Whatever you may involve such as document management, archiving, workflow or forms processing, watch this video of the new SmartOffice PS406U that scans both sides of documents, in color in just a few seconds.
Features exceptional feeding reliability
The SmartOffice PS406U has the efficiency of Intelligent MultiFeed Function. The ultrasonic sensor of the scanner detects the double feeding of original documents during scanning. Also, the ultrasonic function can be turned off for the purpose of intentional double-feeds such as taped receipt or sticky notes. This innovative design prevents double feeding and effectively scans documents of different weights or thickness. Thanks to double-feed prevention, optimum reliability is assured even when scanning high volumes of documents.
Engineered with one of the most advanced paper separation features in their class, the SmartOffice PS406U is the first departmental scanner in exceptional feeding reliability for an even wider variety of document weights. It also delivers uncompromised high-resolution performance of up to 20 pages per minute and 40 images per minute in color at an astounding 300 dpi. Able to handle everything from business cards to rigid ID cards and documents, it easily scans both sides of one sheet in just one pass. And, it does so in color, grayscale or bi-tonal. It's never been easier to electronically capture critical documents.
The SmartOffice PS406U offers businesses a powerful scanning solution, featuring speeds up to 80 images per minute and a duty cycle of up to 4000 sheets. This high-volume, sheet-fed scanner makes it easy to capture all your critical documents. And, it offers an amazing value with fast speeds, a 100-page feeder and incredible versatility.
Save time with One-Touch scan to Searchable PDF
The SmartOffice PS406U lets you transform paper into useful digital information cost effectively. It provides a simple user interface that requires no special training in order for you to become productive immediately. This departmental scanner conveniently includes everything in the box to get organizations up and scanning. With the Plustek DocAction, Plustek DI Capture, OCR and BCR software, users get image enhancement functionality as well as the option of scanning directly to Searchable PDF file, print or batch. Multi-page documents on both sides can be processed into electronic searchable PDF files at the touch of a button.
No matter it contains colour, black and white, or text and graphic information, the resulting searchable PDF files are stored in the file system of the host computer allowing you to retrieve whenever you need it. Whether you need a faster way to access shared documents, a more affordable way to comply with government mandates or a better way to maintain the integrity of important documents, the SmartOffice PS406U is the perfect place to start. Furthermore, the automatic document feeder ADF is also robust enough to feed up to three hard cards continuously or an embossed card up to 1.2 mm in thickness.
Bring Digital Documents to Your departments
The SmartOffice PS406U document scanner makes document warehousing a simple task, with high-speed scanning at the touch of a button. 40 pages per minute and 80 images per minute, newly customised High Speed TWAIN drivers, a 100-page duplexing ADF make this the first choice for document processing. It supports most major scanning environments. Alongside its Plustek DocTwain driver, it offers users more flexibility and supports Auto Document Sizing. This contributes to faster scanning speed and greater productivity, and can be used for batch scanning with the ADF. Without this function, it is necessary to spend time manually entering the paper size during their pre-scan. Thanks to Auto Document Sizing, this time is now saved.
The SmartOffice PS406U is eco-friendly; standby mode consumes less than 0.5 watts while operating power consumption is less than 24 watts, moreover it meets the ErP and Energy Star standard certification. All of its components do not contain any mercury ingredients.

Adrian Peterson knows just how Eddie Lacy is feeling
Life has gotten a lot harder for Eddie Lacy in the past couple weeks.n
Running lanes have sealed up for the Green Bay Packers' rookie running back in losses to the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. It's no coincidence this has happened with quarterback Aaron Rodgers tethered to the sideline with a busted collar bone.
The Packers have faced seven or more defenders in the box nearly twice as often in the last two games, according to ESPN Stats & Information. That compared to the first eight games, when the opposition needed to contend with Rodgers and Green Bay's deadly air attack.
Adrian Peterson knows Lacy's feeling all too well. The Minnesota Vikings All-Pro has played with a collection of middling quarterbacks during his brilliant career, a reality that makes Peterson's incredible achievements even more impressive.
During a conference call with Wisconsin-area reporters on Wednesday, Peterson talked about the difficulty of succeeding as a back when the opposing defense isn't showing respect for your team's vertical attack.
""That's a perfect example. Lacy, he had come in and helped their running game tremendously," said Peterson, whose Vikings head to Lambeau Field on Sunday. "But it shows with Aaron Rodgers not back there how big of a difference he makes and what he means to that offense. So that situation right there is a perfect one to look at."
Take a second and imagine what Peterson could do if he ever played with a quarterback of Rodgers' caliber. He would run for all the yards. All of them.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" previewed "Thursday Night Football" and "stuck a fork" in three unlucky teams.

I am making a few changes to this as I knit: - Most notably the type of yarn. Instead of a smooth cotton, I am using a slubby silk. - I am making more decreases in order to get the top closer to my bust size. I am reducing 4 stitches on row one of each repeat for repeats 2-4. I am also decreasing as written and will probably need to do a couple more to go from 252 stitches to around 204-208. - Oh, also, I am knitting this in the round! - Right now am also divided as to whether I like the RS or the WS better.
I am happier than I look in my photo. I love this top! I ended up going with the right side (purl side out) in the end. Some other changes I made: -I reduced the bust to have negative ease to account for silk stretching and not going back into its original shape. -My row gauge was tighter than the pattern so I needed to add some short rows to make the sleeves longer.
I finished most of this in early August, but stalled when I didn't like the first incarnation of the sleeves.
