No. 16. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. FEBRUARY, 1890. THE BULLETIN OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Our last issue was delayed by an accident to the engine upon which we depend for power for our press. The accident occurred just as our forms were ready. As it proved to be necessary to send to Massachusetts to get parts essential for repair, we could not print till the 25th of the month. All possible haste, however, was made in printing and mailing the edition when repairs had been made. A Northern friend, in a recent letter to our President, after referring to the continued witholding of the State aid, says: "It lays a heavy burden on you now, which I greatly lament, for you ought not to be compelled to leave your post and raise the funds which the Northern people ought to send in full measure, joyfully and ungrudgingly.* * * I did not sit down to write a letter, however, but Only to say that I propose to pool all my money for Southern schools this year on Atlanta, and though the last year has not beer, a prosperous one for me, financially, my outgo exceeding my income considerably, I shall try to double my last year's subscription.* ** I was much impressed by the estimate in your October Bulletin of 10,000 children reached during vacation by your pupils, and I think you can use that effectively. In haste, with heartiest sympathy and regard, Yours faithfully", NOT MULES BUT HUMAN BEINGS. We give in another column an interesting extract from an article in the Atlanta Constitution, making reference to this University. We think we can appreciate its humor, while deprecating its indifference to the feelings of the objects of it. A man who has the gift of humor is one whose feelings are naturally kindly, and it speaks significantly of environing public sentiment when such an one can, without apparent consciousness of doing an unkindly thing, speak of his fellow beings, struggling at a disadvantage in the hard race of life — hard enough for the most favored of us--as though, in intelligence, feeling and rights, they were on no higher level than animals. There are in Atlanta University young men and young women whose struggles to elevate themselves, and through themselves the degraded of their race, are heroic; their feelings as shown in their family relations, as they come to our notice, are beautiful and tender, their characters noble, their manners and sentiments refined, their minds cultivated, their religious tendencies devout. We do not envy any one the capacity to see in them nothing more than "nigger bucks" and "nigger gals" whom it is ludicrous to find going to school, and singing hymns at religious services or on Sunday evenings such as Christian people of ordinary musical and literary cultivation are accustomed to sing. We print the article to show under what disadvantages colored boys and girls are placed when the kindliest phase of feeling around them takes the form of such undisguised and seemingly unconscious contempt. Southern people seem to think it strange that the Negro does not more readily follow the political leadership of his white neighbors. On the whole is it calculated to make him do so to show the same amount of respect to him as to a mule, and to call those who, measured by any true standard of estimation, are young, gentlemen and ladies "nigger bucks" and "nigger gals"? We do not recognize that there is any race problem here or anywhere that the application of the golden rule cannot solve, and perhaps some of the "since the war" generation, if they will try this method, might accomplish as wonderful results as those illustrated in the changes on the hills around Atlanta. The true moral of these changes, we think, is not to try to educate the mule, but to recognize that the Negro isn't one any longer and to try the effect of treating him as a man.

I ride a modified YFZ470 built by Racers Edge in Tucson,AZ. For those of you that aren't familiar with them, they are quite possibly one of the most capable engine builder/tuners in the US and are a staple for quality engines out here in the Southwest. My quad is pushing a reliable 61 HP at the rear wheel according to the dyno run and this chain has only been adjusted ONCE! I am sitting at 47 hrs of riding on this machine and the chain is flawless. I bought one of these again after the continued luck I have had on my other two quads, and again I was not let down. THank you D.I.D. and thank you Rocky Mountain!

Biel R3: Giri & Wang Hao win, Morozevich withdraws due to illness
Helped by excellent preparation, Anish Giri grabbed the lead with a win against Etienne Bacrot on Wednesday. Hikarua Nakamura buit up an advantage in a Polugaevsky Najdorf against Wang Hao but then missed a tactic and even lost. The biggest news from Biel today, however, was the withdrawal of Alexander Morozevich. See the official statement by the organizers below.
Anish Giri leads in Biel after three rounds | All photos © Biel Chess Festival
The third round in Biel had an unusual start. When the chess fans tuned in at the live page of the tournament website no moves were made in Morozevich-Carlsen, and in fact the other two games didn't immediately start at 14:00 either. Then, a note above the live game viewer appeared, saying that "due to health reasons" the game Morozevich-Carlsen was postponed. Further information would follow and a few hours later this statement appeared on the tournament site's homepage:
Morozevich withdraws
Due to health issues, Alexander Morozevich retired from the Biel Grandmaster Tournament after Round 2. He has been this Wednesday with the organisers of the Festival to a hospital, where a doctor confirmed, with a medical certificate, his unability to go on to play the competition. Alexander Morozevich will travel back to Moscow as soon as possible to recover. The length of his healing process is unknown.
After the approval of the players, the organisers could secure a substitute. GM Victor Bologan (Moldova, World No 20, 2732 Elo) takes the place of Alexander Morozevich. He arrived already in Biel. He starts the tournament from Round 3. His game against Magnus Carlsen, scheduled for Wednesday July 25th, will be held on Sunday 29th. Victor Bologan will play his first game on Thursday July 26th against Hikaru Nakamura.
The 3 points of the victories of Anish Giri and Etienne Bacrot, achieved against Alexander Morozevich, are kept. Victor Bologan acccepted to play with two games less.

|Alexander Morozevich
|Viktor Bologan
Morozevich's condition wasn't specified, but we were told that he might be missing the Olympiad as well. Therefore we can only hope that he'll recover soon, and wish him all the best.
It must be noted that it's not the first time that something like this happens to the Russian grandmaster. Shortly before the start of the 2004 Corus tournament in Wijk aan Zee, he had to withdraw as he caught a severe form of the flue. Veselin Topalov replaced him. Morozevich also withdrew from the 2010 Amber tournament in Nice, for private reasons, and was replaced by Alexander Grischuk.
Update: Morozevich also withdrew from the 1999 Dos Hermanas tournament due to illness and was replaced by Boris Gelfand, as was mentioned here.
Victor Bologan was asked to replace Morozevich, and accepted. He told us that he was in his summer house in Sevastopol,
so I had to "jump" from Crimea to Biel.
We may assume he started preparing right away, with his laptop in the airplane!
In the comments section people wonder why Leinier Dominguez, who would play originally instead of Magnus Carlsen, didn't substitute for Morozevich. We couldn't reach the organizers but it's safe to assume that he wasn't available. Besides, in an earlier note the organizers told us that
We found a fair compromise with Leinier, who will be invited next year. The deal was solved in a nice way, even if it's not easy to do this.
Well, it's about time to look at the games of the third round that were actually played, because both of them were really interesting, also from a theoretical point of view.
Hikaru Nakamura, to start with, chose the legendary Polugaevsky variation of the Sicilian Najdorf in his game against Wang Hao. The theoretical status of the "Polu" hasn't been that great in recent years (some people believe that there's more than one refutation) so to play it at this level is another example of Nakamura's courage and fighting spirit.
It was funny to hear Wang Hao say that he had forgotten about "his preparation", while he played the most critical moves anyway! Nakamura's 15...Qc7!? (instead of the often played 15...Qxb2) was in fact Polugaevsky's own choice back in 1960 and now, more than half a century later, it will surely be looked at again...
Video produced by Pascal Simon (Chessbase)
In the game between Anish Giri and Etienne Bacrot the players followed theory even longer – for 25 moves! Giri repeated the moves of his compatriot Loek van Wely, who played the same one month ago against... the same opponent.
Somehow Bacrot's preparation wasn't working, because already two moves after they had left that previous game the Frenchman made a mistake.

one thousand warm thoughts for you Alexander ... Wish you the best for your recovery ... bless you champion !
Morozevich has withdrawn from so many tournaments that one can't help but wonder about the reason. He has withdrawn from Biel before as well as Wijk and Amber and probably many more events I can't recall right now, but this is the first time he withdraws from a tournament that already started and not before it begins (if one doesn't count his taking a draw in the opening with white in a must win game against Grischuk in the World Cup). No one at any Russian chess message board has had any idea about what kind of illness it can be, but what is often said is that Moro can get in a very bad mood and lose interest if he starts badly.
you can also wait for the medical statement before gossiping around !
He has withdrawn many times before and of course it leads to speculation. This time polarmis/mishanp writes:
"For what it's worth the mention of going to the hospital to get a certificate seems to be a heavy hint by the organisers that nothing was visibly wrong - which is a good thing, of course, on the whole."
" nothing was visibly wrong " ?!?!?!?!?!?! Do you realize the absurdity of such statement ???
Bologan!? Ok. I remember In Dortmund he and Anand engaged in a battle that was nominated for game of the century. Awesome game!! But, why not ask, (re-invite) the Dominguez?
Thanks for mentioning the game Anand-Bologan, Dortmund 2003. It's quite nice, and I didn't know it before.

It is hard to resist speculation because of this:
..."where a doctor confirmed, with a medical certificate, his unability to go on to play the competition."
It seems like he falls apart after a few losses. He recently has had some family issues (ill mother?) so perhaps his mental constitution is not good to begin with. If I am not mistaken he dropped off the face of the earth a while ago.
Anyway, lets hope for the best and good luck to Moro. Say what you may about his temperament, the guy's gameplay is a treat for chess fans.
Moro is a great and exciting player, but I think organizers will think twice before they invite him after this. Maybe they also pointed out in the press release that "the length of his healing process is unknown" because it was something not enormously tangible.
Kramnik and Carlsen have played tournaments with fever without withdrawing. If for example Carlsen would have withdrawn from Tal Memorial the time he finished second (and Kasparov wanted him to withdraw instead of playing with fever), I wonder if the press release from the organizers wouldn't just state the obvious, i.e. that Carlsen was too sick to play on. I don't think they would mention making him go to the doctor to get a certificate that stated that he actually couldn't play, and then point out that whatever he has it's impossible to say for how short or long time he will have it.
If this type of thing happened just once it would be another thing, but it isn't just all the earlier withdrawals, I also recall his missing a round in the Russian Superfinal because he still hadn't got out of bed at three o'clock in the afternoon. I certainly have nothing against Moro, but as long as nothing more concrete ever is said about all his withdrawals it will definitely hurt his chances to get invited to tournaments in the future.
Carlsen has lost games and said he had fever afterwards. That's not the same as playing a tournament with fever. Something which many players have done by the way.
1 year 8 months ago
Can you:
a) Provide links referencing where Carlsen is quoted as saying, after a loss, he had a fever.
b) And having done that, prove that Carlsen did not in fact actually have a fever?
"Carlsen has lost games and said he had fever afterwards. That's not the same as playing a tournament with fever."
Not true, as you know. Carlsen had to go to hospital to get medication during Bilbao 2008. He still finished second. As reported by not only Russian media he was also quite ill during Tal Memorial 2009, where he finished second (undefeated).
So he didn't lose games and blame it on fever, he played rather well and was confirmed as ill during the tournaments in question. Kasparov wanted him to withdraw from Tal Memorial, not because he wanted to blame lost games on a made up fever, but because (the undefeated) Carlsen actually was quite sick.
What makes you think that Moro turned ill (or - between the lines in some other comments - just simulates an illness) after his two losses? It's equally possible that he lost these games because he was already ill - the way he lost these games, particularly the first one against Giri, is otherwise hard to believe even for someone as unpredictable and unstable as Moro. If he was already ill before the tournament and knew about it, it might have been better to withdraw before the first round - but he possibly didn't because of his earlier history, something he himself isn't proud of.
I might disagree with mishanp (sometimes it happens): to me the organizer's statement that he went to the hospital is primarily an attempt to avoid, or a prophylactic defense against rumors which nonetheless circulate on the Internet. It could even be that Moro didn't want to withdraw, but doctors forced or at least strongly advised him to quit the tournament.
@redivivo: interesting that you considered Dominguez' withdrawal (your version of that story) to help Carlsen perfectly normal and OK, while you make a big fuzz about Moro's withdrawal which might slightly hurt Carlsen. As to why Dominguez doesn't re-enter the tournament: maybe he is now on holidays, doesn't check his email and switched off his mobile phone, so organizers can't reach him even if they try. To me this would be perfectly understandable.
"interesting that you considered Dominguez' withdrawal (your version of that story) to help Carlsen perfectly normal and OK, while you make a big fuzz about Moro's withdrawal which might slightly hurt Carlsen"
My version of the Dominguez withdrawal is that the only thing we know is that he hasn't said anything on the subject, and I definitely know as little as anyone else. If he withdrew to help someone I think it was the organizers more than Carlsen. In any case it's not like when Moro replaced Gashimov in Reggio Emilia against Gashimov's wishes and the latter complained loudly about being excluded from the event, if he was right or wrong is another thing (but I certainly don't think Moro did anything wrong in accepting Gashimov's spot).
Moro's withdrawal is more unusual, I don't recall any player quitting an ongoing top tournament for decades, and of course this creates some speculation when the player in question is the one that has withdrawn from more tournaments than anyone else. I don't think anyone has anything against Moro, but similar things have happened at so many occasions that it's natural to speculate on the subject. If Carlsen withdraws from five-six top tournaments without anyone knowing the reason this would also create discussion.
I recall several tournaments where Aronian, Carlsen and Kramnik have been visibly ill, and their condition has been commented a lot during the rounds. No one has noticed anything of the sort with Moro in Biel, but he may of course be much more ill than the players mentioned, something I hope he isn't.
"without anyone knowing the reason"..But we know the reason. Doctors confirmed he is ill.
Yet still you speculate about other, less honorable reasons, but get mad when people speculate about Dominguez's withdrawal. Your hypocrisy is legendary.
"Doctors confirmed he is ill. Yet still you speculate about other, less honorable reasons, but get mad when people speculate about Dominguez's withdrawal. Your hypocrisy is legendary."
Illness is certainly an honourable reason and I don't think anyone means that he isn't ill in some way, it's just that it happens so much more often with Moro that one can't help but wonder about the exact reason. As Mig writes about Moro: "We can't ignore he's the only top player who does this regularly, if usually right before start".
This started already back in the 1990s, when Moro withdrew from Dos Hermanas (from Mig on Chess #114):
"World number five Alexander Morozevich of Russia has bowed out of the Dos Hermanas tournament at the last minute due to illness and will be replaced by Belorussian Boris Gelfand. This is a great disappointment to all of us who were eager to see the young Russian tested against the world's best after a year of amazing results. Expectations had been high so maybe nerves had an effect on the wispy lad's immune system? Whatever it is it seemed to come on fast because Morozevich had already arrived in Dos Hermanas!"
Kramnik had a very serious illness and never withdrew from any tournaments or got so ill that he couldn't play. With Moro everything is much more mysterious. All we know is that he often gets so ill that he can't play, and that this has happened since then 1990s on a regular basis.

you write
"Hikarua Nakamura buit up an advantage in a Polugaevsky Najdorf against Wang Hao but then missed a tactic and even lost"
I think this is a biased description
1 year 8 months ago
When I saw the game I just thought that Wang Hao played incredibly creative, however, Nakamura did have the advantage later on...
His king was stuck in the center, exposed to potential tactics (that´s what he eventually died of) in a very complex position - I wouldn´t call such position advantageous OTB, anyway I would prefer white anyday, even if we accept that the machine was able to evaluate the position precisely.
Additionally, that was very small part of the game (4-5 moves only), I also wouldn´t use terms such as ´building up an advantage´ or center the story around Nakamura, reducing Wang Hao to some kind of spectator.
I can understand such approach - to some extent - in cases such as Carlsen - Hao of the previous round, where Wang´s very ambitious - and therefore risky - black strategy was totally neglected, he erred, lost the game and the story was ,deservedly, centered around MC. ´Counterexample´ could be Bacrot-Moro, most of the folks simply reduced Bacrot´s nice achievement to Moro´s final blunder.
"I can understand such approach - to some extent - in cases such as Carlsen - Hao of the previous round, where Wang´s very ambitious - and therefore risky - black strategy was totally neglected"
You don't think it's you who exaggerate how ambitious Wang was in that game? You said on Chessbomb that Wang was the one playing for the win and that you hoped he would decline Carlsen's draw offers. My impression of the game was rather that Wang misplayed the opening and from then on tried the best he could to defend and get a draw, while Carlsen was pressing throughout the game rather than hoping to get a draw.
On one hand, the short description of Wang Hao-Nakamura (eagerly waiting for the full report!) is objective and unbiased - Nakamura had an advantage (in engine terms) before the game turned around after a single bad move. But that's typical of sharp Sicilians. One example coming to my mind is Leko-Topalov from the first round of the San Luis WCh tournament: the advantage went back and forth even several times, and Topalov won in the end (before winning a few more games).
So on the other hand, I agree with bronkenstein that the description is arguably biased because it's written entirely from Nakamura's point of view. Would it have been the same if Nakamura had been playing white, or if the game had been Carlsen-Nakamura or Giri-Nakamura?
Yet another story is what Nakamura himself would have tweeted if he had the white pieces, it could be something like "wild game, we both made mistakes, in the end I won and that's all that matters". As he lost, he didn't nearly use the 160 available characters and just wrote "Pathetic.".
And the full report appeared just as I posted ... . 26.-Nd6 was obviously the decisive mistake, but I wonder about 26.-Bxe4 27.Nxe4 Qxe4 28.Bf3 Qf5 29.Qxf5 gxf5 30.Bc6 Ne5 31.Rxd7 Nxc6! 32.Rd6 Nb8 33.Rf3 - probably good for black, and I don't claim that my analysis is all correct, but is it "game over"?
For what it's worth, engines prefer pawn-grabbing with 26.-Nxb2, good if black gets away with it but maybe scary to play OTB.

Cool game by Wang Hao. I just clicked through it, in my old-fashioned way tried to follow which hanging piece couldn't be taken why, but got lost and confused. Is it sure it wasn't Nakamura who had White? Wang Hao seems to like tactical attacking chess, too. Anyhow, Black's 17..h6 must have been a loss of tempo since the kicked knight didn't move until move 30.

These "heavy hints" could equally probably mean the organizers respect his privacy, especially in medical matters - and correctly so. Until something more concrete comes out, that's what I'll assume, anyway. I don't think the wild rumours I've been seeing around the internet are appropriate.
1 year 8 months ago
Thanks God it was not Carsen that crushed Nakamura´s position in such a tactical game. If so, people would be already saying that Carlsen would beat the young Smyslov, Capa, Karpov and Kasparov by 15 -0 in a simul and playing with black pieces.....
1 year 8 months ago
This is a stupid comment. Carlsen really has nothing to prove aside from win the WC.
He has an impeccable record against most of the top 45.
In fact, I can't think of anyone that has a + score against him.
Climb back into your rabbit hole.
We know your comment is stupid BL. No need to state the obvious.
1 year 8 months ago
Anand has a big + score against Carlsen in classical chess however I don't know how much of that lead was racked up when he was a little tyke.
Moro is one of those people in which both sides of the spectrum live gloriously. Not easy for the guy being the habitat.
A few years back NIC created the title 'How Wang Hao Won'.
They did this wonderful player a disservice with that..........

Poor Moro. But why such an elaborate explanation for his withdrawal and completely nothing at all on the withdrawal of Dominguez?
1 year 8 months ago
Dominguez, did not request to withdrawal. The organizers bumped him when they found Carlsen
was available.
1 year 8 months ago
Get well soon Morozevich. Your fans around the world believe in you! Hope you can play at the Olympiad.
1 year 8 months ago
there's a possibility that he knew he was getting sick, thinking to tough it out, but finally realising that it's to much to bear and play world class chess at the same time.
Claiming that other players have played thru fever proves absolutely nothing, and i don't think you can blame him for this, unless you want to.
Geof Strayer

It's probably more likely that his illness is the reason for his results than the other way around. The healthy Moro has been playing fantastic chess lately.
I too hope he recovers in time to play at the Olympiad.
+1, it is very possible that Moro played first 2 rounds struggling with his illness (since one can´t just walk out of the tournament, rumors aside),but the majority of speculations here goes the other way...Get well soon Moro!
"majority" ?? Only quantitatively, all thanks to redivivo.
"'majority' ?? Only quantitatively, all thanks to redivivo."
I certainly have never claimed that Moro is perfectly fine, so to say that most of my posts state or imply that nothing is wrong with him is of course not true.
What I do think is that it is natural to be curious after this has happened so many times before. In Biel 2007 he was replaced by Radjabov, in 2012 by Bologan, in Amber 2010 by Grischuk, in Dos Hermanas 1999 by Gelfand, in Wijk 2004 by Topalov, and there are probably several more examples over the last dozen years that I don't remember right now.
No one would accuse polarmis/mishanp of being anti-Russian in his reports, and his descriptions sound like this:
"Morozevich's withdrawal may of course be due to purely health issues, although he has complained in the past about the pressures of round-robin tournaments when things start to go badly"
and means in an article published today that if the withdrawal
"was connected with the Muscovite's health or with some other reasons is something that for now we can only guess at"
Given these descriptions I'd say that my posts are much less speculative, and I wouldn't state that we only can guess if Moro's withdrawal was related to his health. All this posted on the whychess site, together with interviews with Russian players and trainers speaking about being worried about what would happen already before Moro withdrew, saying that things could get even worse.
I imagine five losses out of six was a hard pill for Moro to swallow (lost three of last four at Tal Mem. and first two at Biel). Doesn't Moro have history of collapses and hard times recovering? And who wouldn't?

Patch by Gerd Moellmann to turn old-style into new-style eval-when's in the PCL code base.
Patch by Gerd Moellmann to remove unused functionality from macros.lisp.
Slightly frobbed patch from Gerd Moellmann that eliminates the function EXTRACT-DECLARATIONS in favour of SYSTEM:PARSE-BODY. This also removes the ability for macros to expand into declarations, which isn't allowed anymore by ANSI CL.
Huge patch by Gerd Moellmann that removes PCL::ITERATE and PCL::GATHER* in favor of normal CL constructs. In a similar vein to SBCL, this patch also replaces all uses of #'(lambda ...) by just (lambda ...), and removes now-dated looking quotes in front of self-evaluating objects, like keywords and t/nil. The patch has been slightly frobbed by me, to correct a couple of slight oversights, and make more effective use of the loop facility in a number of places.
Patch by Gerd Moellmann to remove PCL's variant of once-only, replacing it by the version already present in CMUCL.
Slightly mangled patch by Gerd Moellmann to remove PCL's own version of destructuring-bind in favour of the ANSI CL version already in CMUCL.
Change toplevel PROCLAIMs to DECLAIMs.
Remove all #+ and #- conditionals from the source code. What is left is essentially Common Lisp except for explicit references to things in CMUCL specific packages.
Revision 1.12 for FIND-CLASS broke the PCL build process. This is a better fix (suggested by Douglas) in that FIND-CLASS-CELL as called from FIND-CLASS is not allowed to produce any side effects. This restores the build process and lets (find-class :x nil) => NIL as relied on by some codes.
fix find-class (when called with nil second arg) to be silent even if the supplied class name is invalid.
Further cleanup of the code now that the :SETF feature is assumed standard.
Add CMUCL style file-comments; from Peter Van Eynde.
Fix a programming error that was flagged by Python unreachable code warning.
This set of changes enables the use of forward referenced classes in PCL. The problem was(is) that the wrapper object needed to connect the Lisp type system to PCL classes doesn't exist until the forward-referenced-class is defined. At that time all the subclasses of it are initialized and wrappers attached. In the meantime, the actual forward referenced class is an instance of pcl::forward-referenced-class and any subclasses are pcl class instances with most slots nil. The fix herein arranges for UPDATE-LISP-CLASS-LAYOUT to also set the lisp:class-name and use (setf lisp:find-class) to connect the new layout to the Lisp class system. An undesired consequence of this is that DEFCLASS can't return a valid class object unless all superclasses are defined. This shouldn't be a real problem as the classes can't be used in the intermediate state, but the HyperSpec says DEFCLASS returns a class object. We return a valid class object or NIL.
This commit brings the PCL repository up to release 17f and also includes the changes in the X86 1.03.7 kit. Although the 1.03.7 changes were already in the repository, the other files appear to be of early vintage and do not work with a 17f system. Hopefully all is correctly synched now.
September-16-92-PCL-e has been incorporated into the CMUCL sources thanks to Rick Harris.
This is September 92 PCL.
This is July 92 PCL
This is March-92-PCL-2a.
Merged with latest PCL version.

text: This is a "go to" dish in our house and has been since discovering it a few years ago. I make it just as the recipe states except for using three instead of four cloves of garlic (personal preference) and using fresh spinach instead of chard as I always have spinach on hand. As good as it is on the night I make it, it is even better the next night for dinner. Highly recommend.

I found out back in August that my fiance and I were expecting our first child. I'm 22, he's 26. These past few months have been the most exciting months of my life. I have been so happy. Just thinking about this little one inside me fills my heart with joy.
Last week, I went in for my 2nd trimester appointment with my OB. I was 19wks 3days when they told me I was having a sweet little girl. I think, at that moment, that's when the 'glow' that everyone keeps talking about became apparent. I was literally gleaming from ear to ear. I would have been happy with a boy or a girl, but I was so happy to finally KNOW (I've been wanting to buy baby stuff since I found out we were expecting). After the ultrasound, we went in to meet with our OB. She told us that the baby had a Single Umbilical Artery (SUA). She then stated that most commonly, if there are issues, they are with the kidneys (extra one, missing one, etc) but that they checked them closely on the US and that they looked 'good'. She said that she did see a bright spot on the heart and because of that, they wanted me to see a high risk OB. I went home immediately and researched what she had told me. I did find that SUA is pretty common for 'rare' things - if you're going to have an issue, commonly it's SUA. Then I moved on to the bright spots on my sweet baby's heart. This sounded normal, too and they find that it usually resolves within a few weeks and well before the baby is born. I found comfort in knowing that these are two issues that are both somewhat common but coupled together could mean more. Bright spots on the heart are soft markers for down syndrome (from what I read). So, need-less-to-say, naturally, I was worried to see the high risk OB but found comfort in my research and I looked forward to getting some peace of mind from a better OS machine.
Note: I did have a Quad screen. Based on my age (22) most women have a 1 in 1103 chance of having a child with DS. Based on my body and the levels in my blood, I have a 1 in 1506 chance. So that's great news - the chance went down for me from the age average based on my levels.
Today I saw the high risk OB. The baby has several other "soft markers" for DS. 1. SUA, 2. Hydronephrosis, 3. ICEF, 4. Hyperechoic Bowel, 5. Tricuspid Regurgitation. They said that all of these things by themselves wouldn't raise too much alarm but finding them all, at the same time, really concerned them. They said that the Hyperechoic Bowel could mean a prenatal infection or something not working properly and 'moving' and stated that an amnio would really help them to diagnos this but would also give me answers on if the baby does have DS or not. My baby girl is not missing a nasal bone and does not have excessive fluid behind the neck (all visual indicators that doctors look for on US early on to determine at risk for DS or not). From 9am this morning until 2:00pm we waited to see a geneticist. I cried in fear for my child every second of that wait. All things going through my mind. How? Why? What will her life be like? What will my life be like? Why can't my child be normal? No parent wants to hear that there is an issue or a problem with their child. I just want my princess to be perfect. Regardless of if she has DS or not, we will still love her just as much. It literally just breaks my heart. My fiance has been so supportive but I can't help but to feel so alone.
They also told my I'm at risk for pre eclampsia and I have "Incomplete previa". We decided to go with the amnio. Otherwise, I was going to be wondering for the next 1/2 of my pregnancy. I would rather know. What scared me even more was the chance that I could loose the baby because of this test. What if it comes back normal and I loose her because I was being selfish by wanting to know for 99% certainty? I'm just so scared. It's been several hours since the procedure and besides some occasional cramping, I feel fine.
I'm scared to get excited, to look at my ultrasound pictures, to look at her beautiful face on those photos because I'll fall in love even more with a baby that I might loose for one reason or another. Several of the 'issues' that they found could lead to preterm delivery or still birth. I don't know what to say. It's just so much. I just want her to be a healthy little baby in my arms on May 4th, 2013. I have no family history of any issues with anything and neither does my fiance. I tested negative for CS.
I'm trying so hard to be strong but I'm running on empty and really just need some good news. I've been trying to stay positive and not worry because I know the stress is the worst thing for this precious baby. I just don't know what to do and I feel so helpless. All test and screens came back negative. What are the odds that all of the issues are separately unrelated coincidences and that my innocent baby will arrive OK? What are the odds that this amnio will come back clear for DS? I just want answers. I need help.
Oh my goodness - my heart hurts for you right now. What an overwhelming, difficult spot to be in. I hope the amnio will provide some answers that are positive and reassuring. I can't really say what the odds are for the results...every pregnancy and circumstance is so different. All I know is that, as a NICU nurse, medical technology has reached incredible levels. You never know what can be done to help things along if a problem does arise. On the other hand, I will be praying that all these things are just coincidence and that your little girl is just fine. I don't know how exactly to help you stay strong except to tell you that you have a place here to vent and share your feelings. Just know that I am praying for you. Make sure to let us know how it all goes so we can support you. Hugs.
I agree with Julie, I can not even imagine what you must be feeling and going through right now. You're right no one wants to hear that there might be developmental issues with their child and worse yet have to put that child at risk to try and keep it healthy. First i want you to know that all of the parents here genuinely care about each other and give the best support i have ever seen outside of families. We all lend an ear so to speak when you need to vent and do our best to give comfort when we can. I would also like to send a prayer that your little girl does not have any developmental issues... That being said I used to work for a company called res care (It's assisted living for people who have developmental issues, schizophrenia, turrets, DS, Autism, mental retardation... The list goes on). I have worked with many different people that have issues and i must say that down syndrome kids are by far the sweetest. I LOVE them. They are full of love, compassion, they are funny, full of life, and just all around wonderful people. So while i pray that your child is normal, if she does turn out to have DS know that there are many parents and care givers out there who know what you are going through. Also take comfort in knowing that since you have had the amnio you will be able to better prepare yourself on how to care for your child and give her the best possible start and life. you are going to be a great mother.
We have had several scares with our children through the years, and the best advice I have ever received was from a friend of mine. She said..."you are her mother...you will do what it takes--and you are strong enough". I realized right then and there that no matter what the test showed--it didn't change the fact that I was her mother and that I would be there fighting for her and getting her all the help she needed. I was strong enough to fight with her and you are too. No matter what happens, know that. You will find the help and strength you both need to give her a wonderful future. I hope this empowers you as it did me and I hope you get the news you are hoping for. If you don't, I want you to believe in yourself and in your ability to be your daughter's best advocate.
As mothers, we are all given tasks which seem impossible....some of us at birth, others when are children are small, and still others once they hit high school or beyond. It never stops--but we are all stronger than we think and we all fight for our children--no matter how small or big they may be. I will pray for you and your family...please let us know how the test turns out.
Thank you all for your kind words. It's been a very scary 24 hours. And my fiance and I do both agree that we will love her unconditionally (we already do!) regardless of how the test turns out. I've been trying to focus on the good news and that is that her humerus bone, femur and brain all look great and normal size. She does have a nasal bone. Her movement is exceptional. I have felt her all day today so I'm pretty sure we're in the clear from the amnio. So I've bene trying to stay positive and not jump to the worst even though DS is definitely not the worse case scenario. I feel like the markers could be side effects from the SUA and that they will resolve themselves. I will definitely keep everyone posted once we hear the results.
It sounds like you have really made peace with the potential outcomes of your testing and the results. In reading your post I instantly thought back to one of my favorite quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt-
― Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life
Please feel free to come here and post for support, encouragement or just to reach out. Always happy to offer support and long distance hugs. :)
We got our initial results back. The baby does not have T21. They said that there is a 5% chance that this may change within the next week as the final results come in but that they are very positive and confident in this initial result. I will update you again once the array comes back.
I just hope that everything else is okay and that these are just coincidences that will resolve themselves (with the exception of SUA because that's definitely not going away).
I will say this: Over the past few days, I have been researching like a madman and can say that I have a new found respect and understanding of those living with a disability or the parent of someone with a disability. I still don't like the word disability because I personally do not see DS as a disability just an obstacle. I was (and still am incase other atypical results come back) prepared to enter into this new unexpected challenge. After reading up on DS, I felt confident that everything would be OK even though it may not be what I initially expected. I'm thankful that it is not the case but I no longer felt 'sorry' for my potential diagnosis. After I got over the initial shock that she could be anything but typical, I grew to respect, appreciate and love those with disabilities and those raising children who were not 'typical'. I may still find out news that I may not have originally wanted to hear but if I do, I know that she will be in good loving hands and I would not want it any other way. She is my everything and has changed my life already. I'm a better person because of this 'scare'; because of her.
Thank you all very very much for your support. I really don't think I would have come to terms if it wasn't for the massive amount of support on this board and several others. Thank you!
Correction... you already are a wonderful mother.
Love the initial results! Hoping they stay that way. You are wise beyond your years and have a wonderful perspective on life. Kudos to you for committing to loving your little one no matter what comes your way and knowing that you really will be okay. Every single person on this earth has challenges - some are more obvious than others - but we all struggle with various things. Continuing to pray for you guys - hugs.
So happy for you and your family! What a wonderful Christmas present! I will continue to pray that the rest of the results are just a good and that your pregnancy progresses without a hitch from here on out!
Thank you all for your support! We finally got the final results in yesterday. I called the doctor's office and they said that they actually came in on Wednesday but because of their office hours for the holiday, they just hadn't been able to call us yet. They said the panel, array and final all came back clear. So, as far as we can tell, there are no chromosomal abnormalities and she is definitely a girl! :)
The genetic counselor said that they are still considering me high risk due to the SUA, Echogenic intracardiac focus, Echogenic bowel and dilated left kidney that they saw on our 20 week ultrasound. We have another appointment on Tuesday and hopefully we'll see some improvements on the above concerns (SUA is not going away but they said that the others usually resolve themselves). They were just primarily concerned because none of the 'markers' by themselves are very concerning and most will resolve themselves by the 3rd trimester, it's just rare to see so many at once. We're just hoping for the best and to make it to at least 34 weeks.
Thank you again for all of your support and kind words! I really appreciate it! :)
So glad to hear this! I will still keep you and your little girl in my prayers. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is "uneventful'!!! :)
Wonderful! This is such good news! Praying that you are able to have some peace of mind and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. Hopefully you continue to get good news as time goes on. :-) Congrats on your girl!
Hi there,
i just wanted to tell you reading your story gave me hope in this very difficult time.
i am 30 years old expecting my first baby girl. I went to get an ultrasound yesterday and they found a single vessel cord, also some liquid in one of the kidneys and a "borderline normal" amount of liquid in the brain. Besides that the heart was normal, her nose was normal and her arms and legs measured normal.
Still they suggested i get tested for DS. I did it right away but now i find myself having to wait for at least a week, not knowing what to do or think, or even breathe.
I truly hope my story turns out to have a happy ending like yours.
Sincerely, Luciana.
I am sorry that you are going through such a stressful ordeal during your pregnancy. I will be praying for your and your family and hoping that you get good news this week. If we can be of any help or support from afar, please let us know. We are here for you.

How does that relate to Computer math?
How about writing a CFD simulation or a chemistry one?
No, that is a PDF. The random variate command constructs an array of random numbers that obey that PDF.
Is that an array construct?
Anyway, i'll try..
I prefer it too but I am afraid that it will always be like a second language to me. When you begin with procedural you are poisoned for life. See you later, got to get off.
No problem, i'll explore more into the functional stuff..
Oh sorry, I did not understand. I thought you meant program size.
Okay, it's very lightweight when compared to other functional programming languages, so I'm fascinated!
Hi gAr;
samp=:1000000 f=:1+?samp$0 fx=:2*(1-%f^2) (+/%#)f*fx
Solve the equation
for x. You get 2 solutions:
I used the second one.
Well, since the PDF is 0 for x<0, the integral from 0 to x is exactly the CDF.
