As all revolutions go, the are two sides: one in power and one looking to over-throw this power. The American Revolution was obviously no exception. America was looking to overthrow its ruler, Britain. In addition, reasons are needed for the revolutionaries to want to over-throw their government, and a winner and loser are also needed. So how did Britain provoke the colonists and why were the colonists successful? More importantly for our-time, how did the occurrence of the American Revolution affect other revolutions around the globe? In other words I would like to show you how the American Revolution was able to set precedence and give other revolutions a dependable system to follow.
First off, the colonists did have some solid reasons for rebelling against Britain. To me the first mistake Britain made was when King James II deprived the colonies of their local political rights and independence. The legislatures were dissolved, and the King chose officials to rule over the courts.
This event led to many other conflicts. For instance in 1687 the towns of Ipswich and Topsfield resisted the taxes imposed by Governor Andros. From this situation arose the phrase, "No taxation without representation." A second reason for America beginning the Revolution is because of the intolerable acts inflicted on it by Britain. The intolerable acts consisted of a series of needless taxes put on the colonies to "punish" them. One of these was the Stamp Act. This was a tax put upon all paper goods. To rebel the colonists held the "Boston Tea Party". Although one cannot blame the revolution of two soul causes these two major contributors..
So now that we know what started the Revolution, the question we must ask is, what enabled the colonists to win. One of these things was the fact that...

Your Horoscope: Week of July 2-8, 2014
By Denise Guzzardo
Week of July 2-8, 2014
This Week: Once we scrape the static and residue off from this whirlwind of a Mercury retrograde we've experienced the past few weeks, we are likely to see a little peace and quiet for a while. Remember, even though Mercury does, in fact, go direct July 1, it still has some residual influences that can burp up periodically during the next few days. Stay safe, and keep the peace. Enjoy your July 4 activities with friends and loved ones.
Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Communication from a distance offers shocking revelations; more information will be revealed in time. You have been overworked and underpaid, and it's getting on your last nerve. Take some time out to enjoy life a bit. Get together with those of like mind and humor. This is an element that has been missing from your life as of late. By week's end, you will be able to see the forest through the trees.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20) — You may find yourself aligning with some unlikely individuals. However, in the grand scheme of things, it's all for the greater good of common loved ones. A romantic opportunity arrives at this time. Take advantage of these generous emotional aspects and bask in the limelight. You will love this exchange of energy, which is like a breath of fresh air.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — A tedious task needs to be cleared from your schedule before you can move forward to bigger and better things. Once you put that to rest, you can enjoy a little down time with loved ones. Time to catch up with friends and family — you have been so caught up with your demanding work schedule, you really have not made the connections that bring you inner peace. Humor has also been lacking in your diet. This week, your plate is full.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — You're closing a door once and for all to a frustrating and hurtful element. Try not to be afraid of the unknown. Instead, allow this to be a time of healing and rejuvenation. When you come out of your stupor, you will find you have the support you need from unexpected sources. A big financial deal closes for you this month. Take a break and celebrate.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — You're apt to want to slam a frying pan upside the back of someone's head early on this week. Count to 10 first; you will only be giving the ornery individual exactly what he or she wants — a fight! You are bigger and better than that. Surround yourself with new individuals who encourage your emotional growth. Accept an invitation to an impromptu gathering. You won't be disappointed.
Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Dynamic news arrives that brightens your week with hope and gratitude. You are able to see exactly what your next step is, even though you may not be able to act on it quite yet. Your long-term goals are finally falling into place. Be patient and allow the universe to work for you.
Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — This may be the best time to clear the air with a past love or a strained friendship. You will need to step up and extend yourself, although you may have created barriers those around you have decided to "walk wide" of. Break the ice, and start enjoying life again. The clock is ticking.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Bite your tongue now and allow a loved one to make his or her own way through this world. This may be very difficult to do. However, in the long run, he or she will need to stumble, fall and get back up on his or her own. You do not need the extra aggravation — you are spread thinly enough as it is. Midweek brings an unexpected windfall. Enjoy.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Romantic aspects are in top form this week. There is a gentle exchange of energy that becomes contagious at this time. Deeper levels of love and commitment are arriving. Embrace these moments. Allow this to develop into one of the most memorable connections of a lifetime. It's safe to go back into the water.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Some of you may have experienced a loss at this time. It takes courage to put your heart on your sleeve and love something or someone that cannot be with us forever. In time, you will see how powerful the impact was, and how much you learned from this exchange of love and energy. You will be able to utilize this experience in another shape and form for years to come.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Expect a powerful outcome to align with your career. An impromptu gathering will put you in the spotlight as well as enable you to expand your social and financial sectors. Make sure you are getting out and about and accepting these invitations that are extended to you. You will not regret it.
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — The concern over a female's health could have you on edge a bit. You have no idea how much your emotional support is helping her healing process. Take some time out for yourself midweek and re-evaluate your personal goals, dreams and ambitions. You are in a position to manifest these aspects. Go for it!

Target-date funds have become increasingly popular with 401(k) plan investors in recent years. A target-date fund ("TDF") is typically a mutual fund that contains a mix of underlying investments and that automatically adjusts the asset allocation (stocks, bonds, and cash equivalents) within the fund's portfolio according to a selected "target date" such as retirement. As a participant approaches the "target date," the fund moves its allocation to more conservative investments (e.g., bonds and cash) and away from riskier investments (e.g., equities).
Many plan sponsors have opted to use TDFs as their plan's qualified default investment alternative ("QDIA"). A QDIA is a default investment option, chosen by a plan fiduciary, for those participants who fail to make an election regarding the investment of their account balances. If the default option meets the QDIA requirements, the plan fiduciaries are protected from liability for investment losses within the default investment option. Final Department of Labor ("DOL") regulations expressly permit the use of TDFs as a QDIA.
Nonetheless, the DOL has expressed concern that the investment styles and strategies of TDFs can be quite diverse, particularly because different TDFs use different "glide-paths" to adjust participants' investments as they age. In 2011, the DOL issued proposed regulations that would amend the QDIA regulations to expand the information that must be disclosed in the required QDIA notice to participants and beneficiaries concerning investments in TDFs. Those regulations have not yet been finalized.
However, the DOL did recently post on its website some "tips" for ERISA plan fiduciaries to consider when selecting and monitoring TDFs. According to these tips, plan fiduciaries should take the following steps:
- Establish a process for comparing and selecting TDFs;
- Establish a process for the periodic review of selected TDFs;
- Understand the fund's investments – the allocation among different asset classes (stocks, bonds, cash), its individual investments, and how these will change over time;
- Review the fund's fees and investment expenses;
- Inquire as to whether a custom or non-proprietary target date fund would be a better fit for your plan;
- Develop effective employee communications;
- Take advantage of available sources of information to evaluate the TDF and recommendations you received regarding the TDF selection; and
- Document the process.
Following these tips will help protect plan fiduciaries from liability for having selected a particular TDF as their plan's QDIA.

Low-cost therapy center looks to expand
A special-needs clinical center that has been operating for years under the radar in the Bronx is looking to expand its reach this summer.
Our Children First on Tremont Avenue is a multidisciplinary therapeutic center providing a range of services from speech pathology to special education for developmentally disabled children.
The center provides services to newborns and clients aged up to 21 years old. The center works alongside the Department of Health to provide low-cost programs, according to clinical director Kristen Bellom.
"We don't want any kids to slip by or slip through the cracks," Bellom says.
The center seeks to double the number of children that it can support a year and also create new programs.

The Games of the 22nd Winter Olympiad are set to begin on February 7 in Sochi, Russia. As the date draws near, officials are beginning to voice their concerns that the games are not safe and that athletes may be put at risk.
While Russian President Vladimir Putin has promised that the games will go off safely and without a hitch, the U.S. State Department is not quite convinced.
U.S. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, currently in Moscow, told ABC's "This Week" that cooperation with the Russians on security "could be a lot better." He said he was concerned about evacuation and emergency response plans from Sochi if something did happen there.
McCaul, who is also a Republican, said he would be meeting this week with the Russian government's "command and control of operations" in Sochi to assess the situation.
Concerns about the safety of the games are not unfounded. A suicide blast last month in Volograd killed 34 people, and Islamic militants in the region have threatened a "surprise package" awaiting those who attend the games.
Sen. Angus King (I-ME) was very blunt about his concerns, saying that he would not attend the games nor would he let any of his family members attend.

Ever since I was a kid and was given the book "Linnea in Monet's Garden," Claude Monet has been one of my very favorite painters. When L found my old book last week, I immediately thought of our melted crayon art and thought that we could try to make our own impressionist, water lily artwork. We used a different technique to melt the crayons this time, and we used materials found in the recycling basket for a "canvas." I was thrilled to be able to teach L a little bit about Monet and his phenomenal paintings...and in such a fun way too!
Materials Needed:
-empty cereal or cracker box
-acrylic paints
First, I cut the cereal boxes to make nice little "canvases" to paint on. I left the side flaps intact, making the artwork easier to move while working, using the flaps as handles. You can cut them off at the end.
Next, looking at Monet's painting we talked about what colors to paint the background, representing the water. We chose two colors of green and two of blue to use. I let L paint the cardboard canvas however she pleased, encouraging her to cover the entire thing.
After the paint dried, it was time to create the lily pads and flowers. I made crayon shavings by simply cutting up crayons into little shavings or pieces. You can use a cheese grater if you like, but a sharp knife works just fine! (The crayon shavings pictured here are from another piece of work...hence the orange, yellows and reds. For Monet's water lilies, I made shaving from three different green crayons, as well as some pinks, yellows and white.)
Now, using one color at a time, L sprinkled the crayon shavings onto her canvas. We started with the greens for the lily pads, putting the shavings into little piles, and followed it with the pink and white for flowers.
Next is the really fun part...melting the crayons, transforming the artwork! With the oven set to 200 degrees F, I lay the cardboard on a cookie sheet and placed it in the oven for 5 minutes. L loved watching the crayons melt!
Once the shavings were all melted, we removed the artwork from the oven to cool. Be very careful not to tilt or shake the artwork at this point...for the first minute or two before the melted crayon cools, it's very liquid and will drip or move-mix around. After a couple minutes, the crayon is dried and the art ready to show off and display!
I hope you have as much fun with this one as we did! If you have a favorite impressionist painter, other than Monet, I'm sure the melted-crayon technique would work to mimic their work too! Enjoy!

Age matters behind the wheel — but not how you might expect
Among new drivers, teenagers were better prepared for a state driving test than those in their 20s
To reduce accidents, the authors propose that states end mandatory driver's education for only teens and expand safety training to new drivers of all ages.
One hundred novice drivers — each with less than five hours of driving experience before their first driving lesson — participated in a two-hour lesson focused on car control and traffic maneuvers for a UCLA research project exploring the relationship between new drivers' skills and four factors.
Students drove on the streets of Los Angeles, ranked by the 2017 INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard as having the worst traffic in the world. The group was evenly split by gender, and the students' average age was 18.
Following the lesson, the instructor ranked each student's skills on a four-point scale, in which 1 means the student requires far more instruction and practice before taking the state driving test and 4 indicates the instructor believes the student is prepared to pass the test.
The researchers analyzed the results based on these variables:
Age: Among males, the older the student, the worse his driving skills score. There was a similar trend among female drivers, but it was not as significant.
Gender: Students were asked to rate their confidence in their own driving skills. Although female students on average were less confident than their male counterparts, men and women received almost the same average score from driving instructors.
Sports participation: A history of playing any kind of organized sport was linked to better driving skills among both men and women. Men and women who played sports scored 2.66 and 2.43, respectively, while men and women who had not played organized sports had average scores of 1.94 and 1.60. Previous studies have shown that participating in organized sports improves spatial perception.
Video game experience: Playing video games showed no relationship to driving abilities. The authors expected the opposite, because earlier research has shown that playing action video games improves spatial cognition.
The authors propose that states consider ending mandatory driver's education for only teens and expanding safety training to new drivers of all ages. If translated into policy, the findings could improve driver training, ultimately reducing traffic accidents and saving lives.
The findings were published in the online edition of the journal PLOS One.

NEW YORK—After perhaps the biggest build up in recent memory, at least in the business applications sector, SAP unveiled its on demand suite built for the mid-market Sept. 19 at an event here at the Nokia Theater.
SAPs long-standing code name for the product, A1S, is now officially buried. The new product name: SAP Business ByDesign.
SAP has billed the introduction of Business ByDesign as not only a new product but a new business model and market for the company. If the demonstrations of the product prove accurate, SAP may be on to something, according to analysts.
The Business ByDesign suite is an integrated suite of products that interact with each other as processes are kicked off by specific events.
Further reading
SAP is shying away from traditional terms like ERP [enterprise resource management], SCM [supply chain management] or CRM [customer relationship management]. Instead the suite contains familiar components that companies typically look for to run their business: financials, human resources, SCM, CRM, product management, compliance management and the like.
The applications themselves are completely new, written from scratch, according to Peter Zenke, SAP executive board member and technical lead for Business ByDesign. "The [application] code is 95 percent fresh code." Underlying the applications is also a new Foundation Layer that is comprised of "all the key objects" a company would need to define highly personalized items like products, bill of materials or recipes, according to Zenke.
Click here to read why SAP has high hopes for midmarket growth
The user interface for Business ByDesign is also new, although it is roles based, similar to Microsofts UI approach. SAP has decoupled the UI from the business logic which lets users (through consultants) design their own interfaces. Within the applications themselves, users are able to connect to live user communities and to SAP to get help.
Zenke said that about four years ago Hasso Plattner, co-founder of SAP, came up with the concept of building a new suite of applications to address the mid-market, one that would enable customers to have a much lower total cost of ownership than SAPs traditional on premise ERP suite. In fact SAP—and its enterprise application developer brethren—has been saying for at least as long that it needs to tap into the huge mid-market to make up for the withering market for massive, multi-year, multi-million software implementations.
[SAP Business ByDesign] is not just a new product for us. Its much more. Its a new era of SAP. We enter now into a new volume business," said SAP CEO Henning Kagermann, during his keynote address at Wednesdays event. "[The new suite] is full of innovations. In my 25 years in this company, this is the most important announcement in my career to date."
SAP has put a huge stake in the ground with its on demand model. At the beginning of 2007—after a shaky fiscal 2006 with two poor quarters—Kagermann said the company would spend between $414 and $552 million (300 to 400 million euros) over eight quarters to build Business ByDesign.

Community Supported Agriculture In Central New York
Utica, NY (WIBX) - Spring is in the air and for many that means joining their local community supported agriculture group. CSA's operate as a subscription service for fruits and vegetables and other locally grown crops, and farmers across New York State have been gearing up to kick off the sale of this year's harvest.
Cupboard Earth Farm is in its second year of delivering fresh fruits and vegetables to customers. Owner and operator, Jacklyn Roberts whose farm is based in Clayville, says people are catching on to it. She said,"Especially with a lot of things that have been going on, a few years back we had the spinach scare with the ecoli, you know, each year there's always something going on with a recall on some food. When you're purchasing locally, you know where you're food is from and in a lot of cases you can actually visit the farm."
The education element is also important Roberts said adding, "You learn how far your food has to travel." She said customers often wonder about certain items not being available at the local Farmers Market at the start of the harvest season. "In June people will ask, 'where are the tomatoes?' and unless you have a green house, they're not ready until at least mid-July. So, it's really educational to learn about what's grown locally and what goes into that, and how long it takes especially for the climate around here," Roberts said.
Some of the items Cupboard Earth Farm offers include, greens, lettuce, broccoli, radishes, salad turnips, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, and a variety of herbs. Roberts said she also offers different pick up locations to make it easier for her customers to get their produce. According to Sustainable Table, a non-profit group whose aim is to educate consumers about the benefits of supporting their local farmers, CSA is becoming more popular.
The group says some of the characteristics of CSA's are:
- Local farmers connect directly with consumers, which helps develop a regional food supply and strong local economy. CSA cuts out the 'middleman', which lowers costs to both farmer and consumer.
- CSA farmers typically use organic or biodynamic farming methods, minimizing environmental pollution and encouraging land stewardship.
- Most CSA programs offer a variety of vegetables, fruits and herbs in season. Some provide a full array of farm produce, including shares in eggs, meat, milk, baked goods and even firewood.
- CSA helps maintain a sense of community. Some are dedicated to serving particular community needs, such as helping the homeless, disabled, or youth and low income groups.
- CSA members purchase a share before the season starts and shoulder the risks along with the farmer.
To find a local CSA near you go to: www.localharvest.org/csa/ and type in your zip code to pin point a local farmer. For more information about Cupboard Earth Farm call (315) 796-6324 or send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com. "It's also important for consumers to keep their food dollars local," Roberts said.

Alcohol and Herbal Remedies
Over 50% of Canadians now consume natural health products in the form of traditional herbal products, vitamins and mineral supplements, and homeopathic preparations.
People often think of herbal remedies as "natural". They may not think of them as drugs, which they are.
Women are the main consumers of herbal remedies (66% of all herbal users) in Canada. Many seniors are enthusiastic about using herbal drugs. Approximately 22% of women aged 65 and over and 20% of men over 65 use them.
There are many things to recognize about herbal remedies. First of all, there are few standards in this area, so a person may not know what he or she is really buying. Second, the levels of active ingredient in the herbal remedies can vary from preparation to preparation. Third, the quality will vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer. Last, it is not easy to get Canadian based health information on them.
There is a good article on herbals and aging available on the Internet: What Physicians Should Know about Herbal Medicines: Potential Herb-Drug Interactions in Older People Volume 4, Number 5, June/July 2001, Pages 28,29, of Geriatrics and Aging.
See: www.geriatricsandaging.com
There are several herbal drugs that you should not take if you drink alcohol. Here are a few:
What Do People Usually Take Echinacea For?
It is often used for the relief of sore throat due to colds or for relieving the symptoms of mild skin conditions and eruptions.
Why Not Take Alcohol with It? Echinacea has been reported to potentially cause damage to the liver. The liquid products are primarily made in crude alcohol, which can cause further liver damage.
What Do People Usually Take Kava-Kava For?
Kava kava is often used as an herbal sedative to calm and reduce anxiety.
Why Not Alcohol? Kava-kava can add to the effects of substances that depress (slow down) the central nervous system, causing over sedation. Kava-kava can increase the effects of central nervous system depressants like alcohol.
In 2002, Health Canada issued a stop sale for all products containing kava kava because of reports of serious liver problems. Play it safe, don't use it.
What Do People Usually Take Valerian For?
It is commonly used to deal with pain and promote sleep. It acts as a muscle relaxant
Why Not Alcohol?
Like kava-kava, valerian may add to the effects of sedatives, especially benzodiazepines (like Valium and barbiturates), as well as alcohol.
St. John's Wort
What Do People Usually Take St. John's Wort For?
St.John's Wort is taken by people as remedy for a range of disorders including nervousness, tension, insomnia, nervous headache, and neuralgic pain. Some people take it as a mild anti-depressant.
What to Watch Out For
The primary warning given for
St. John's Wort is "do not take it if you are on anti-depressants". Both the
St. John's Wort and the anti-depressant will elevate levels of chemicals in the
brain. Taken together, this makes that effect stronger. Here is one
situation where more is not better. People can experience a pattern
of side effects described as "serotonin syndrome". This includes
vomiting, restlessness, dizziness, and headaches.
Why Not Alcohol?
Some companies producing St. John's Wort carry an alcohol warning on the packaging. Because alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, it may be working against the effects of the St. John's Wort.

Kimberley Newport-Mimran debuted the Pink Tartan Spring 2013 runway show at World Mastercard Fashion Week in Toronto last night. The collection looks like structured goods one might find in the depths of their fashionably hip grandmother's closet. The collection hones in on high waisted skirts and cropped bustiers, exposing the tiniest of midriffs. The pastel collection featured large buttons, butterfly coats and metallic fabrics. This 60s-inspired runway left onlookers starstruck as top model Charlotte Free opened the show with her stunning long blonde to pink ombre hair.
The Pink Tartan Spring 2013 collection payed homage to the fabulous resort life of the 1960s era. Kimberley collaborated with Aldo Shoes for the footwear of the show, which will debut in Aldo stores in early spring of next year. Kimberley also collaborated with Lara Vincent to create the fascinators for the show.

New Delhi: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa Thursday moved the Supreme Court challenging the Karnataka government`s decision to remove the special public prosecutor in a disproportionate assets case against her.
A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam agreed to hear tomorrow the plea of the AIADMK chief against the decision to remove Bhavani Singh as the special public prosecutor (SPP) in the case.
Senior advocate U U Lalit, appearing for Jayalalithaa, mentioned the matter before the bench, which also comprised justices Ranjana Prakash Desai and Ranjan Gogoi, saying that the decision to remove the prosecutor needed to be reversed.
The Karnataka government had on August 26 issued a notification withdrawing the appointment of Singh as SPP.
"The appointment of senior advocate Bhavani Singh as SPP to conduct the disproportionate case against Jayalalithaa and others in the special court is hereby withdrawn with immediate effect," the government notification said.
The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) chief is accused of amassing Rs 66.65 crore between 1991 and 1996 when she was the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
The case was transferred by the apex court from Chennai to Bangalore in 2003 during her earlier tenure as the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister for a free and fair trial.
She had alleged that the case was foisted against her by the previous DMK government for political reasons.
She had earlier recorded her statement under Section 313 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) before the trial court.

According to WebMD, a persistent cough can be alleviated by drinking plenty of fluids. Liquids provide the necessary moisture to break up the wet, cough-causing mucus of a post nasal drip while also keeping mucus membranes moist, which prevents dry coughs. Hot or warm moisture is especially helpful, such as consuming hot beverages or taking a hot shower with plenty of steam. Humidifiers work well also.
WebMD states that coughs are also caused by irritants in the environment. The most common is smoke. Other irritants are perfumes and scented sprays. WebMD warns that a severe cough in a smoker can be the symptom of emphysema or lung cancer. Seek immediate medical attention if the cough is severe.
Mother Nature Network states that coughs are caused by irritants affecting the nerve endings in the air passage between the throat and lungs and the body's attempt to clear that passage. Honey naturally soothes sore throats and is also effective in stopping a cough. It can be put in a beverage, taken undiluted, mixed with coconut oil and lemon juice or made into a tea by adding 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper and 2 tablespoons honey to a cup of hot boiled water.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Caleb Martin scored 25 points, Jordan Caroline had 21 points and 14 rebounds and No. 20 Nevada clinched the No. 1 seed in the Mountain West Tournament with a 92-83 victory over Colorado State on Sunday.
Cody Martin, Caleb's twin brother, had 17 points and 10 assists for the Wolf Pack (25-5, 14-2 Mountain West), who clinched at least a share of the regular-season championship for the second consecutive year. Nevada has road games against UNLV and San Diego State remaining, but has a two-game lead over second-place Boise State and holds the tiebreaker over the Broncos.
Prentiss Nixon had 27 points and 10 rebounds for Colorado State (11-19, 4-13). Anthony Bonner added 19 points and Nico Carvarcho had 13 points and 14 rebounds for the Rams, who kept the game tight until the waning moments.
Colorado State led 52-49 on a 3-pointer by Nixon with 14:53 remaining, but Caleb Martin hit a 3-pointer to tie it at 52. The shot sparked a 14-5 run, and the Wolf Pack never trailed again.
Nevada led 40-38 at halftime. The Wolf Pack struggled from the field for much of the game, hitting 33 of 77 shots (42.9 percent), including 10 of 27 3-pointers (37 percent). Colorado State hit 29 of 62 shots (46.8 percent) and was 13 of 32 (40.6 percent) on 3-pointers.
The Rams out-rebounded the Wolf Pack 21-12 in the first half, but ended with a 43-42 edge as Nevada had a 30-22 edge in the second half.
Nevada overcame first-half shooting woes to score 52 points in the second half and put away a persistent Colorado State team.
Nevada honored its three seniors - Kendall Stephens, Hallice Cooke and Elijah Foster - in their final home game
Colorado State hosts New Mexico on Wednesday in its final regular-season game.

Long-Term Benefits Among Mild Heart Failure Patients Receiving CRT
Study Questions:
What are the extrapolated long-term benefits (beyond the follow-up of randomized controlled clinical trial) from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with mild heart failure (HF)?
The authors used the 5-year follow-up data of the REVERSE study (REsynchronization reVErses Remodeling in Systolic left vEntricular dysfunction) to extrapolate survival and HF hospitalizations in patients with CRT devices. They performed two comparisons: CRT-ON versus CRT-OFF and CRT defibrillators (CRT-D) versus CRT pacemakers (CRT-P). Treatment-specific all-cause mortality, disease progression, and HF-related hospitalization rates were estimated with multivariate regression models. Rank-preserving structural failure time (RPSFT) models were used to adjust for crossover in the survival analysis.
CRT-ON was predicted to increase survival by 22.8%, leading to an expected survival of 9.76 years (CRT-ON) versus 7.5 years (CRT-OFF). CRT-D showed a significant improvement in survival compared with CRT-P offering 2.77 additional life-years. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II patients had a 30.6% higher HF hospitalization risk than class I (I vs. II incident rate ratio, 0.69; 95% confidence interval, 0.57-0.85; p < 0.001) and three times lower rate compared with class III.
According to this analysis, there are important long-term benefits of CRT in mild HF. CRT was predicted to reduce mortality, with CRT-D prolonging life more than CRT-P.
The design of the REVERSE trial included an obligatory crossover of CRT-OFF patients to CRT-ON therapy after 1-2 years. Despite the availability of 5-year follow-up data, this crossover necessitated the use of an advanced statistical method called rank-preserving structural failure time (RPSFT), a rarely used method. According to the analysis, CRT prolonged survival by more than 2 years compared with optimal medical therapy, and CRT-D devices prolonged survival by almost 3 years compared with CRT-P devices. These findings are particularly striking in the light of data suggesting underutilization of CRT in the real world.

Just to drop a note that this ship has a mystery in my memories.
I saw her about 1980 near Mimizan Plage. She was upright and broken in two - the stern was twisted about 180 degrees.
I can't explain to myself if I see here rolled that much and being in one piece ...

Yvon, awsome and very interesting shots, thanks for posting.
Since many years I've been searching for a wreck photograph of her.
Regards, Markus

|Wow! Amazing pic. I saw this ship anchored in the Solent in May 76 as a young lad. I had no idea she was wrecked only a few months later.

text: Yesterday was the first day of our spring break and I decided to celebrate by going somewhere I haven't been before. I went to Nanshi 南市, which means "southern city" (and trust me, I even knew this without translating) and It's known as the old town of Shanghai. It's the area south of the famous Yuyuan Garden, which is one of the main attractions in Shanghai. As it was the first day of spring break Yuyuan Garden was super busy and crowded, but Nanshi was surprisingly calm (of course not the part close to the Yuyuan Garden). I haven't seen that many tourists in this area and I really liked the vibe of this place. It's a perfect place if you're interested in more old school Chinese atmosphere and need a little break from the modern and noise Shanghai.
