Coccidioides complement fixation is a blood test that looks for antibodies to the fungus Coccidioides immitis. This fungus causes the disease coccidioidomycosis.
Coccidioides antibody test
A blood sample is needed.
There is no special preparation for the test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is used to detect infection with the fungus that causes coccidioidomycosis or valley fever. This condition can cause lung or widespread (disseminated) infection.
A normal result means no Coccidioides immitis antibodies are detected in the blood sample.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results mean that Coccidioides immitis antibodies are present. This can mean that you have a current or recent infection.
The test may be repeated after several weeks to detect a rise in titer (antibody concentration), which confirms an active infection.
In general, the worse the infection, the higher is the titer, except in people with a weakened immune system.
There can be false positive tests in people with other fungal diseases such as
Veins and arteries vary in size from one person to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

Love to garden? Looking for ways to donate your time to Simonton Elementary? Come join us in the Garden!
We would love your help in the garden. We need assistance transporting garden supplies from the supplier(s) to the school garden. Sometimes we need extra hands to dig in the dirt. Additionally, we would like help distributing fliers for fundraisers benefiting the school garden. There are many ways to provide help in and with the garden. Whether you can help for one hour or five, we will greatly appreciate your help.
For more information or to obtain a volunteer form, please contact Jamie Jugler, Simonton Elementary Attendance Clerk at 480-987-5330 x 5532.
End of the Year 2015 - 2016
We just completed yet another garden club. Several positive things occurred this year. First, our club membership increased. Secondly, club membership was open to all grades, not just fourth-sixth graders. We added two additional garden club sponsors, Simonton teachers, to help with our after school club meetings. A Simonton parent and her daughter attended several of our meetings.
Harvest Times and Crops
Our harvests were larger this school year. With each harvest, we approximated the weight of the fruits and vegetables. We documented what we harvested and who benefited from nature's bounty.
This year we grew a wider variety of crops. We grew carrots, spinach, and white onions. Purple onions, mortgage lifter tomatoes, Swiss chard, radishes, beets, and Chinese cabbage were new additions to Simonton's Garden of Awesomeness. This year we also grew nasturtiums, edible flowers, and leaves. We also incorporated petunias, moss roses, and daffodil bulbs. Some of the regular crops we grew were broccoli, snow and sugar snap peas, lettuce, squash, and basil. Marigolds and sunflowers are flowers we grow on an annual basis.
Garden club members and their families benefited from our harvests. Our garden sponsors, garden coordinator, several Simonton teachers, and PTO members enjoyed some of the produce. Simonton's administration and maintenance team benefited from the fresh produce also.
Peas, broccoli, and tomatoes were kid favorites. Swiss chard, kale, radishes, and beets are some of the crops that people tasted for the first time. We had several converts to Swiss chard and kale. They are both delicious and nutritious raw, braised, baked, and steamed.
Recycling Program
This year we gave some plant material to feed chickens and geese. A couple of our garden club families have chickens and geese, so we were able to share our plants with their birds. The birds enjoyed pea plants, cabbage leaves, Swiss chards, and radish leaves. They were happy to receive the good food. Happy chickens mean more eggs. It was a win-win for everyone!
In our lasagna garden box, we added expired plant material that we will compost into the bed.
Once again, we had a great group of children and youth in our garden club program. Our talented group of participants is amazing. They seemed to enjoy the program. They never tired of digging in the dirt, planting new things, bug hunting, and the joy of discovering new plant growth.
Club News - May 2016
Leadership Days
In preparation for our Leadership Days, the garden leadership team worked with Simonton's garden club to create a demo board. Children from the garden leadership team picked a fresh harvest of produce for each leadership day celebration. They selected carrots, beets, radishes, kale, oregano, basil, sunflowers, and marigolds for the events.
During the presentation, student leaders provided gardening related information to Simonton families. The following day, community members were at Simonton Elementary to receive information about our Leader in Me Program, our clubs, and our school.
The garden leadership team did an amazing job. They participated in the event from start to finish. It was defiantly a student inspired and student driven event.
Thanks to our students for great enthusiasm as garden leaders. I am grateful for your support, time, and positive attitudes.
Thanks to our garden club group who worked so well on all things gardening related. It was very special that you and the garden leadership group were able to prepare for the special day. After all, it is all about creating fun and memorable opportunities while growing leaders. Thank you again for the great things you do!
Garden Club News - April 2016
Simonton's garden of awesomeness is partnering with McDonalds! McDonalds has a coffee grounds recycling program, and our garden club coordinator Sherri accepted the donation. We are please to be part of this good neighbor program in our community. Thank you, Sherri for all you do to support the garden!
Garden Club News - March 2016
During spring break, Mrs. Booth and her two children, Mrs. Tschoepe, Ms. Lovelady, and our garden coordinator spent time in the garden. Ms. Lovelady brought worms to the garden. Mrs. Booth's boys happily added them into a garden box. Mrs. Tschoepe purchased four tomato plants and six sugar baby watermelon plants to donate to the garden.
Our time together was fun. It was a hot watching the little ones working with the worms and digging in the dirt. Getting to know one another, a little better was one of the benefits of the day. It was especially enjoyable to come together as a team while pulling weeds, adding transplants to the garden, and watering the new and existing plants.
Thanks to Mrs. Booth, her kiddos, Mrs. Tschoepe, and Ms. Lovelady for their labor, plants, and worms. Gardening together was a terrific way to celebrate the beautiful springtime weather.
Garden Club News - December 2015
Winter break was a terrific time to conduct routine gardening maintenance. We removed expired plants from the garden beds. Then we moved the plants into an empty garden box. The plant material will breakdown and become compost. The compost area is a relatively new addition to the garden. The lasagna garden will demonstrate another method of recycling, composting, and enriching the soil while showing the Simonton youth a different planting method.
Just prior to New Year's Eve, our garden coordinator sowed red onions into a garden box. Then, we added a thin layer of composted mulch at the base of the bedding plants. Mulch will benefit the plants by keeping the soil from drying out and reducing weeds. It was a win-win in the garden. The garden benefited from the extra attention. The garden coordinator enjoyed the exercise and quite time in the garden.
A lavender plant was added to a planting container which just so happens to be a stack of old tires. The tire planters are just another way we are recycling and repurposing materials in the garden. There are three sets of tires, three tires per set, that we spray painted festive colors to bring more beauty into the garden area.
Garden Club News - November 2015
The LDS service team came prepared for work. They brought breakfast, water, juice, snacks and tools. Their team included people of all ages who came together one Saturday morning. Their mission was to help with gardening site maintenance, clean up, and planting projects.
The service team planted vegetables and pulled weeds. Furthermore, they dug up Bermuda grass. It took a team of determined people to remove the Bermuda grass and a tall plant that was deeply rooted in a raised garden box. The removed the grass and the large plant to free up space for future plantings of fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
We removed soil from one garden bed to make way for a demonstration garden, a lasagna garden.
Thank you to everyone who made the day flow smoothly. It was a great day of teamwork and cooperation as well as a terrific family outing. We are grateful for the community support.

Fall Festival
Garden Club News - August 2015
In August, there was a garden themed display during the meet the teacher night at Simonton Elementary School. Kneaders Bakery graciously donated a gift basket for the event. Simonton's garden coordinator was available to answer questions about our upcoming garden club meetings. School gardening related posters and signage adorned the table. Fresh flowers rounded out the setting with a touch of color and beauty.
Garden Update 2015-2016
We have an active garden club that meets every Monday after school. We have had community members come in and volunteer with the garden, donations from a local nursery, and have been gifted a tiller from the district landscaping company. Our garden club is a wonderful addition to our school. Even the kindergarten uses it. They release their "home grown" butterflies each year in our beautiful garden. Thank you to all our volunteers and benefactors.
Kind Regards,
Sherri Crosslin

Video: Village residents in Shatter's constituency vow to fight decision
LOCAL residents in Justice Minister Alan Shatter's own Dublin South constituency are fighting proposals to close their garda station tooth and nail.
The garda station in Stepaside, Co Dublin – a once rural village which has morphed into a satellite of the capital with a population of 20,000 – is pencilled in for closure on a date as yet unknown.
A rally is scheduled to take place there at 2pm on Sunday to protest against the decision.
At the station yesterday, staff at the front counter were busily handling passport queries, a man reporting a stolen jacket and various other humdrum but necessary tasks.
A book on the counter marked "Any Comments about Stepaside Garda Station Closing" contained numerous entries from local residents' associations, schools and concerned individuals.
Dropping in to have a form signed, Norbert Grey of Sandyford said the loss of the station would be "disastrous".
"We will fight this," he said, adding that he and his wife would attend the rally.
At the Step Inn pub, owner John McCluskey explained that he had bought the business seven years ago specifically because there was a garda station across the road.
"It's no coincidence that neither we nor the post office has ever been burgled," he said.
"It's not even the money because everything is under time lock – it's the trauma we'd go through if we were robbed. They killed a detective – they're certainly not going to spare us."
Des Kennedy from the Centra shop and post office, who has lived in Stepaside for over 40 years, called on the minister to "take another look at the area" before considering the closure.
"There are 20 businesses here, with a population of over 20,000," he said. "The timing of this just does not make sense. There has never been more of a reason to keep the station open."
Some of his customers live in very isolated areas where only the local gardai would know "where to find people," he said.
At the Get Fresh fruit and veg store, Jean Dermody revealed that many of her customers had been burgled recently.
"We would feel very insecure without the station being open. We'd miss the presence," Ms Dermody said.

Elephante Reworks His Latest Original "Closer"
Elephante's latest original "Closer" spread like wildfire when it was released back in March but some could argue you the fact it wasn't the ideal track for his live sets. Well, Elephante had something up his sleeve. "Closer" has been revisited with receiving a more upbeat and harder makeover that he considers a "Zoo Mix". The original was an instant classic but this edit will definitely be a fan favorite.
"I'm proud to introduce my first Zoo Mix, my reinterpretation of my own track as if it's gone wild and had the energy turnt way up. whenever i write a song, there are a lot of ideas that never make it to the actual track, and especially so on Closer… coming up with different ideas for a song has never been a problem for me, it's always choosing what stays and what goes that makes finishing songs difficult. so once i finally settled on a version of Closer that I loved, I knew there were a ton of different versions of it that existed in some alternate universe, and i knew i wanted to see what would happen if i started from scratch and went totally ham on it. so this is what came out, lots of wubs and womps and gross basses, something that bangs a little harder. hope you all love it… ENJOY!" – Elephante

With the monster 'Frankenstorm' bearing down on the U.S. East Coast and parts of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, forecasters and emergency assistance agencies are urging people to prepare for power outages with a 72-hour supply of essential items, including food, water and medicine. According to the U.S. National Weather Service, this rare "super storm" could be the largest in history to hit the U.S. mainland! Depending on where you live, residents can expect to experience power outages, heavy rainfall, flooding, high winds, or snow. Those in the path of the storm are advised to take the following steps to be prepared in the event of an emergency situation:
- Keep a 72-hour supply of water on hand for your family, and don't forget your pet(s). Store two liters of drinking water and two liters of water for washing per person, per day.
- Store at least a three day supply of non-perishable food for each person in your family.
- Ensure you have a manual can opener handy.
- Keep handy a battery-operated flashlight and radio with extra batteries.
- Prepare a first aid kit.
- Be sure to have special needs items on hand including medications, baby formula and diapers, and equipment for people with disabilities.
- An extra set of keys for your house and car should be easily accessible.
- For insurance considerations, be sure to move items to higher ground if your basement has a history of flooding.
- Secure your outdoor patio furniture or anything that may fly into your neighbor's home and cause damage or injury.
For more information on the storm itself, visit the U.S. National Hurricane Center site. You can also refer to the Canadian Red Cross site for more on what to do to prepare for an emergency.

Funding Position Statements - 2010 Legislative Program
Fairfax County is being significantly impacted by the 2005 recommendations of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) with over 19,000 personnel from numerous Department of Defense (DOD) agencies and commands being moved into Fort Belvoir and the Engineer Proving Ground (EPG) in the County. As a result, Fairfax County is facing significant shortfalls in the capacity of current transportation and school infrastructure to support the additional military and civilian jobs.
While federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding is making possible the long-anticipated completion of the Fairfax County Parkway, overall federal assistance has been insufficient to ensure the appropriate increase in transportation capacity needed for such a large influx of personnel into an already congested area. The lack of federal assistance is compounded by cuts in state funding to the County's secondary road program, adversely affecting projects that could improve the BRAC transportation impacts at Fort Belvoir and the Engineer Proving Grounds. The 2010 General Assembly is requested to provide state assistance to mitigate these significant effects.
(Reaffirms and revises previous position.)
Lyme Disease
Support funding initiatives that will advance research, surveillance, reporting, and diagnostics for Lyme disease. Cases of Lyme disease have been on the rise in Virginia, with over 800 cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2008.
(New position.)
Public Safety/Courts Funding
Public safety is a core service for the Commonwealth, as it is for localities. Protecting the Commonwealth's residents and ensuring the successful operation of the justice system requires appropriate state funding for the state-local partnership, including sufficient state support for all stages—law enforcement, courts, and jails/corrections. To that end, Fairfax County supports adequate funding for the following:
Excess Court Fees – The 2010 GA should reverse the diversion of local
funding to the Commonwealth. During the 2009 General Assembly,
the 2008-2010 biennium budget was amended to change the state share of
excess court fees (paid to local courts for administrative expenses
associated with home sales, home refinancings, wills, and other
matters) from one-third to two-thirds – a funding loss that
disproportionately affected higher cost Northern Virginia
(New position.)
HB 599 – This critical funding, provided to localities with police
departments, must be maintained. Approximately 65 percent of all
Virginians currently depend on local police departments for public
safety services. This program strives to equalize state funding
between counties in which the sheriff provides law enforcement and
those cities, counties and towns with police departments.
(Reaffirms longstanding Board position.)
Jails – The Commonwealth should adequately compensate localities at a
level which is commensurate with the State's responsibility for local
jail operations. A 2005 report by the Compensation Board stated
that only 20 percent of Fairfax County's jail operations funding comes
from the state. Local governments in Virginia have historically
borne a disproportionate burden of supporting jail confinement costs,
as a result of significant underfunding by the Commonwealth.
State actions to address current state budget concerns should not
result in the transfer of state prisoners to local jails, which would
exacerbate the funding imbalance.
(Updates and reaffirms previous position.)
Courts – The Commonwealth should adequately fund Virginia's courts, to
ensure a well-functioning judicial branch. The underfunding of
Virginia's court system places additional burdens on localities.
In the case of magistrates, for example, low pay remains a serious
statewide problem, leading to a high turnover rate and the pressure for
local supplements to keep the system operational.
(Reaffirms previous position.)
Support sufficient State General Funds for the Virginia State Police's Sex Offender Investigative Unit (SOIU) to carry out its mission of thoroughly monitoring the Sex Offender Registry (SOR), including an equitable distribution of SOIU officers for Fairfax County.
(Reaffirms previous position.)

Kinondoni Municipality is to build feeder roads of about 21 kilometers, in a move geared to reduce traffic flow in the city.
The roads will be built under the Dar es Salaam Metropolitan Development Project, which has been designed to ensure that roads in Tanzania's key commercial city are at bitumen level.
The Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Office (Regional Administration and Local Government ), Aggrey Mwanry made this observation here yesterday when responding to a question by Rita Mlaki (Special Seats-CCM), who wanted to know government plans to build at tarmac level, key roads in Kawe constituency, particularly Mikocheni, Mbezi Beach and Tegeta.
She also asked to know government plans to expand the Old Bagamoyo Road from the Kawawa Road junction to Kawe roundabout.
Responding, the deputy minister said under the DMDP all important roads will be built at tarmac level, to rescue billions of shillings allocated every year for rehabilitating gravel roads, destroyed by rains each season.
"The roads to be upgraded were chosen by the responsible municipality and in this case, Kinondoni has alredy identified the roads to be included in this big project," Mwanry said, urging MPs in the municipality to work closely and ensure those roads are built to the required standards.
He disclosed that the road stretch from TANESCO Msasani to –the fish market in the area, of length 1.4kilometers will be built in the wide ranging project.
He however noted that in the 2012/2013 financial year, the Kinondoni municipal authority is building roads at tarmac level, including the Journalism Road of about 1.1 kilometers in Mikocheni area.
According to Mwanry, the government through Tanroads employed Norplan, a Norwegian architect firm, to carry-out a feasibility study on the expansion of the Old Bagamoyo Road of about 5.3kilometers and Garden Road of 1.2km to ease the movement of vehicles in the two roads.
Before embarking on the road expansion project, the government plans to start with the construction of trenches that will ease the flow of rain water into the sea, he said.
"This is an important activity as it could relieve people living in Mikocheni of disturbances during heavy downpours," the deputy minister noted.
About 6bn/- has been allocated for that task in this financial year, he said, adding that compensation will be made to people affected by the project,

The Limits of Prudential Supervision, Reorganizing the Federal Bank Regulatory Agencies
According to Shull, although the recent round of banking legislation--most notably the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA)--did take steps toward preventing financial crises, it did not go far enough in the area of unifying the regulatory structure. Shull proposes unifying federal bank regulatory agencies that presently have flexible authority over competing institutions. In essence, the reorganization would integrate monetary policy and deposit insurance authority with the conventional functions of regulation and supervision. Shull contends that such an integration would foster greater efficiency, improved policy planning, and better accountability while protecting against the hazards of excessive concentration of power. Among the possibilities for a consolidated regulatory agency, Shull prefers consolidation in the Federal Reserve because it is the only banking agency whose structure was originally designed to deal with concerns about concentration of power.

Here's an easy but useful post-processing tutorial for you to experiment with Adobe Photoshop. There are a lot of ways to achieve this desaturated look and this is just one of the few techniques you can use. The objective is to create a moody, desaturated photo but still with a tinge of color in the scene. How much or how little color you want to leave in depends on your opacity settings and color tint choice. Feel free to experiment.
Here's our original image, ideally, this is best suited if the subject/scene itself is moody as well, but I just chose this photo for convenience).
First, we start with converting our image to black and white. You can use your favorite conversion technique here, I simply chose the Green Filter setting in CS4's Black and White adjustment layer.
Change the blending mode of this layer to Soft Light.
Then we add a Solid Color fill on top, then select a solid color to use. Here, I used a teal/cyan patch. I clicked on the Web Colors for simplicity's sake.
Then change the blend mode of this layer to Soft Light.
Now we add another B&W layer on top, this time, I used a gradient map simply because I want to be able to set the contrast in one go (instead of adding a contrast adjustment layer later on). Note that I adjusted the midpoint on my black to white gradient to reduce the image contrast.
Change the blend mode to Multiply and reduce the opacity to around 50%. We're done!
You can change the look and feel of the image by simply changing the color swatch used in the Solid Color adjustment layer.
Go play with the opacity, color fill, and blend modes to achieve different looks :)

Johannesburg - The substance found in an envelope at Sanral's headquarters in Centurion, Pretoria, was not dangerous, the roads agency said on Wednesday.
"Upon investigation, the white substance was found to be harmless," SA National Roads Agency Limited CEO Nazir Alli said in a statement.
"Our priority was to ensure the safety of the people working in the building. They received trauma counselling for the anxiety caused by this incident."
Alli did not say what the powder was. The Tshwane hazardous material unit was called to Sanral's offices on Tuesday afternoon after the substance was found on the premises. The building was evacuated and its electricity shut down.
Thirty-seven people were decontaminated and hospitalised as a precaution. All of them had been discharged by Wednesday morning.
Alli said the evacuation did not compromise the toll collection process and toll gantries remained operational.
"The call centre was however affected due to the evacuation of staff but is currently operating at full capacity."
Sanral said it was co-operating with authorities to find the perpetrator. - Sapa

When Acura entered the small, upscale SUV market with the first-generation RDX, their target customer was a 30-something yuppie, with a sense of style and enough disposable income that something like a basic Honda CR-V just wouldn't be on their shopping list. But alas, according to Acura, they never found that buyer.
To meet that elusive customer's needs, the RDX arrived with a host of electronic and luxury features not found on the similarly sized CR-V, along with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a highly sophisticated all-wheel drive system, and an overly stiff suspension.
What Acura found out was that their target customer wasn't as taken by their stylish SUV as much as older folks were. Consequently, the bulk of sales were to grey hairs and empty nesters who wanted luxury in a small package but objected to the high-strung little turbo and harsh ride. So much for product planning.
This time around, the redesigned RDX grows up a bit, both in size and refinement. A smooth-and-polished V6 engine and a gentler-kinder suspension are aimed at pleasing folks who would be looking at the fashionable Audi Q5 and BMW X3. A simpler all-wheel-drive system may be less helpful on race tracks, but it saves weight. The rear seat is roomier, and the cabin is quieter with more electronic amenities.
Matched with a new six-speed automatic transmission, Acura claims that the new V6 will deliver better fuel economy than the old four-cylinder engine, along with quicker acceleration. A choice of front or all-wheel drive is available; we bought the AWD version for testing.
As the pre-test break-in miles have been rolling up, we've found the redesigned RDX to be a major improvement over the old one in just about every respect. As touted, it is roomier and quieter, and the new powertrain lives up to promises of increased performance and fuel economy, based on our observations. Inside and out, the new RDX is a more conservative and relaxed package than the one it replaces, and while the more restrained interior design is well finished and appointed, it doesn't convey the levels of premium ambiance found in some competing models.
We'll be back soon with the results of our full road test.

This dark, lush cigar takes some time to warm up, then it becomes rich and leathery, with some cocoa and earth flavors. A tasty, medium-to full bodied smoke.
Issue: Cigar Insider, Jun 01, 2000
Score: 89
A dark, toothy and shiny cigar. It has a nice draw with a peppery kick of flavor. It's spicy, with woodsy, rustic notes.

The EU should take a clear position and create more incentives regarding media freedom in Turkey as part of the country's accession negotiations, write Alison Bethel McKenzie and Steven M. Ellis of the International Press Institute in Vienna.
Alison Bethel McKenzie is executive director of the International Press Institute and Steven M. Ellis is IPI's press freedom advisor for Europe and North America.
The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, recently joined an unlikely club – the dozens of people accused crimes in Turkey after having engaged in journalism that irked authorities.
A Turkish court charged Ferguson with violating children's "privacy" when she went under cover in the country to help British broadcaster ITV film a controversial 2008 documentary on the treatment of children in orphanages. But Ferguson is fortunate.
Unlike numerous media workers and journalists currently detained in Turkey on vague accusations of support for terrorism, she knows exactly what charges she faces. More importantly, the United Kingdom's decision not to extradite her means she will not languish for months or years in pre-trial detention.
The accusation that Ferguson committed a crime by making society confront the shocking conditions in which orphaned children in Turkey are forced to live is both repugnant and absurd. However, many of the nearly 100 journalists and media workers currently imprisoned in Turkey on accusations that they supported armed terrorist organisations face similar absurdities. (The government admitted in August that 63 journalists were in jail and authorities last month arrested another 36 journalists and media workers following raids targeting a group tied to the militant Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.)
Investigative journalist and IPI's World Press Freedom Hero Nedim ?ener, for example, is accused of spreading propaganda for a terrorist organisation. His detractors say his questions about the government's conduct in investigating the so-called Ergenekon plot, in which secularists and ultra-nationalists allegedly planned to use terrorism to overthrow the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP)-led government, were secretly intended to undermine the investigation.
Never mind the fact that the alleged Ergenekon plotters who would be served by such a move represent, in many instances, elements of the same "deep state" within a state who ?ener has accused of complicity in the 2007 murder of his friend, Turkish-Armenian journalist and fellow IPI World Press Freedom Hero Hrant Dink. Or the fact that, despite the Turkish government's claims that ?ener and other journalists are not being detained for their work, it is unclear how the journalists could have spread propaganda other than through their statements and writings.
Last month, Interior Minister ?dris Naim ?ahin accused "those who fight against those who stand against terrorism" as being part of terrorist organisations themselves, evoking memories of US President George Bush's 2001 statement: "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
Journalists in Turkey are caught in a Kafkaesque nightmare in which a climate of fear and self-censorship escalates with each raid and arrest. While such a situation is unacceptable anywhere, it is even more so in a democracy that seeks membership in the European Union.
If EU members value the fundamental values to which they have committed themselves, including the right of free expression, they need to link accession to improvements in press freedom. Just as EU members have criticised Hungary over restrictive new media laws that sought to muzzle the press, they must emphatically repeat their concerns over the worsening situation of press freedom in Turkey.
But EU members can do more.
Member states should link economic policies towards Turkey to improvements in press freedom. EU members invest billions of euros in Turkey annually and the country receives hundreds of millions in foreign aid from the EU. Despite a booming economy, Turkey would feel the loss of these and other funds.
The EU should further create and finance an independent body to monitor the cases of arrested journalists and it should send observers to monitor journalists' trials.
EU members should also actively support the efforts of the Council of Europe's secretary-general, Thorbjørn Jagland, who said during a November visit to Ankara: "Turkish courts and prosecutors need to have a better understanding of European standards of what journalists are allowed to write and say without being put in jail."
Turkish officials reportedly agreed to work with Jagland's office to reform Turkey's anti-terror legislation and to accept training for prosecutors on recognising their obligations to safeguard free expression in cases where the right is implicated, both much-needed steps.
If Turkey wishes to continue to serve as a bridge between East and West, it needs to fulfil its obligations as a democracy and to respect the freedom of the press. But the country will only do so if its partners in the West, including the EU, hold Turkey to it.

Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have released a second set of results from the PROMISSE study showing that proteins measured in the mother's blood successfully predict whether or not a woman with lupus is likely to experience serious complications during pregnancy – complications that could negatively affect her health or that of her baby.
The new findings from PROMISSE ("Predictors of pRegnacy Outcome: BioMarkers in antiphospholipid antibody Syndrome and System lupus Erthematosus") were published in The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
In this study, researchers measured proteins made by the placenta that circulate in the mother's blood, which also regulate growth and development of the placenta, called angiogenic factors. As early as 12 -15 weeks into a pregnancy, alterations in their levels identified pregnancies associated with a high risk for serious problems. Most importantly, normal levels predicted normal pregnancies.
"The findings of the study allow physicians to stratify risk early in pregnancy to optimize patient care and allocation of healthcare resources," said Jane E. Salmon, MD, Director of the Lupus and APS Center of Excellence and Collette Kean Research Chair at Hospital for Special Surgery and principal investigator of the PROMISSE study. "When these biomarker tests are available clinically, they will guide prenatal care in women living with lupus."
The new study revealed that only 12 percent of patients with inactive SLE and/or APL have severe adverse pregnancy outcomes, showing that most patients with these conditions go to term without difficulties. Those pregnancies defined as high risk, based on levels of angiogenic factors and clinical features, like high blood pressure and certain autoantibodies, had a 94 percent risk of preeclampsia before 34 weeks, delivery before 30 weeks or fetal death, compared to 4.6 percent with these serious complications in women with normal angiogenic factor levels and no clinical risk factors.
"The goal of our research efforts is to provide early identification of risk in expectant mothers with lupus and to develop treatments to prevent serious pregnancy complications," said Dr. Salmon. "We are halfway there, and now we are planning a trial with a drug that targets the mediators of placental injury in high risk women with SLE and APL."

Washington - President Barack Obama's re-election campaign, stung by the fundraising success of rival Mitt Romney and groups supporting him, predicted on Wednesday that the Republican would outdo Obama and Democrats in June with a $100-million haul.
The prediction, shared by an Obama campaign official in a briefing with reporters, was made with at least two objectives in mind: raising expectations for Romney's fundraising apparatus and prodding Obama supporters into coughing up more cash.
The former Massachusetts governor's presidential campaign topped Obama's for the first time in May, bringing in more than $76.8-million along with Republican groups. Obama and his Democratic allies raised $60-million in the same period.
By suggesting that Romney and the Republican National Committee will be ahead again in June and attaching a whopping figure to that forecast, the Obama campaign may be setting up Romney for a perceived failure if he does not reach that number, while softening the blow in advance if Obama's figures turn out to be lacklustre.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined to predict what the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee would raise in June, other than to say it would be less than $100-million.
"I think you're going to see another huge month for Romney," the official said, noting that Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry outraised Republican president George W. Bush in the first couple months after clinching the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004.
"I think Romney is going to continue to have big months. Combine that with the Super PAC stuff, you know, we are going to be the first incumbent outspent. That's clear."
Obama's campaign expects outside fundraising groups known as Super PACs, to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in the coming months to help Romney win the White House.
Super PACs (or Political Action Committees), which are required to operate independently of the candidates they support, became major fundraising vehicles following a 2010 Supreme Court decision on campaign finance. - Reuters

YOUNGSTERS at Kildwick Primary School took part in a sponsored run to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The 70-plus key stage two pupils covered a kilometre-long route around the village recreation ground.
The event was organised by 10-year-old Ella Pickard, who has been helped by the hospital, and Millie Barker, nine.
"They managed to raise an amazing £500 and we're still counting!" said a school spokesman.
"A big thank-you goes to Ella and Millie for their hard work and to everyone who supported the event."

The original "Rosemary's Baby," released in 1968, opened at a time when horror films deeply embraced blood, gore and graphic sex. It was the same year George A. Romero changed the genre forever with his "Night of the Living Dead."
The original "Rosemary's Baby," released in 1968, opened at a time when horror films deeply embraced blood, gore and graphic sex. It was the same year George A. Romero changed the genre forever with his "Night of the Living Dead."
Despite being surrounded by a cinematic horror bloodbath, "Rosemary's Baby" became a commercial and critical success for its psychological approach to the horror genre. The film created terror and tension through a Gothic setting and creepy characters. It was also a cautionary tale about lust for fame and fortune.
NBC's miniseries, "Rosemary's Baby," continues the psychological themes, but it loses some of the tension and terror by expanding the tale to four hours and moving the setting from New York to Paris.
Zoe Saldana — best known for her work in the updated "Star Trek" movies — plays Rosemary Woodhouse. She and her husband, Guy (Patrick J. Adams), move from New York to Paris after she has a miscarriage. Both believe the change will help them deal with the tragedy.
During a Good Samaritan act, Rosemary meets Margaux Castevet (Carole Bouquet), who invites the Woodhouses to join their inner circle of influential friends. The real reason for Castevet's generosity is that she's a member of a coven of witches and Rosemary has been selected to be impregnated by Satan.
All the group has to do is convince Guy that this is a good idea. They accomplish this by giving the failed writer great literary success.
Saldana turns in a solid performance as the emotionally and physically shaken Rosemary. The role is slightly different than the original, where Mia Farrow came across as being quite frail. Saldana's performance has more strength.
Adams is good, but the original's John Cassavetes brought more of an opportunist feel to the character that made that version more interesting.
There's no question the casting of Bouquet and Jason Isaacs as the devilish Castevets gives the film more sexual energy than what Ruth Gordon and Sidney Blackmer gave the original.
There have been slight variations on events depicted in the original movie and book, but the miniseries generally follows the same story. It's just that the path has been doubled in length. Because the story has been stretched to fill four hours, the action slows — not a good idea when dealing with psychological terror. The tension needs to increase rather quickly to create the anxiety that make horror films so entertaining.
Moving the story to Paris takes away the foreboding world of the New York apartment building by killing a lot of the darkness.
Even with the changes, there's nothing particularly wrong with NBC's "Rosemary's Baby." It just seems unnecessary because the original film is still one of the best when it comes to smart horror films.

Problem with Preview
Doug Bale wrote:
I find the quickest way to review a whole folder of photos is to open it in list view, select the first and tap the space bar to view it in Preview, then just use the up or down arrows to scroll through the list and see the others in turn. All the photos will have been post-processed in Photoshop, often using several masks and layers, all of these subsequently merged and the image flattened. Sometimes, instead of showing the completed image, Preview will show only a bit of it — a snippet of a mask or layer. The final image still appears normal in Photoshop. Does anyone know how to get the whole thing to show up in Preview, other than cutting and pasting the whole image into a new replacement file, thereby losint the EXIF data?
What fille format are talking about here? PSD? If yes, you might have just encountered a bug in Preview's decoding of the PSD format, and the solution should be to save things as tiffs instead (since you said you already flattened everything there should not be any loss of information).

Marcus Stroman, the first-round pick of the Toronto Blue Jays in June's MLB Draft, will be suspended for 50 games after testing positive for Methylhexaneamine, according to CBSSports.com.
Stroman, a pitcher, was 2-0 with a 3.38 ERA for the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
The Blue Jays picked Stroman out of Duke with the 22th overall pick. With the Blue Devils, he was second in college baseball in strikeouts and third in strikeouts per nine innings in 2012.
"He should be one of the fastest players to the majors in this year's class, and some scouts think he can start," according to Baseball America. "But they all know he can be a big league reliever in short order."
Two more minor leaguers received 50-game penalties on Tuesday.
First baseman Mark Donato, who plays for Kansas City's rookie-league team in Arizona, tested positive for an amphetamine. Joshua Sale, an outfielder for Tampa Bay's Single-A Bowling Green affiliate, was penalized for testing positive for methamphetamine and an amphetamine.
Each of the suspensions is effective immediately.
