Washington, July 28 (ANI): Scientists have identified six new genetic risk factors involved in Parkinson's disease, including more than two dozen genetic risk factors that have already been reported.
The study by researchers from National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows power of combining big data analysis with cutting-edge genomic techniques and have identified potential genetic risk variants, which increase the chances that a person may develop Parkinson's disease.
The results suggested that the more variants a person has, the greater the risk, up to three times higher, for developing the disorder in some cases.
Andrew Singleton said that unraveling the genetic underpinnings of Parkinson's is vital to understanding the multiple mechanisms involved in this complex disease, and hopefully, may one day lead to effective therapies.
The study brought together a large international group of investigators from both public and private institutions who were interested in sharing data to accelerate the discovery of genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease.
The researchers confirmed the results in another sample of subjects, including 5,353 patients and 5,551 controls. By comparing the genetic regions to sequences on a state-of-the-art gene chip called NeuroX, the researchers confirmed that 24 variants represent genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease, including six variants that had not been previously identified.
The NeuroX gene chip contains the codes of approximately 24,000 common genetic variants thought to be associated with a broad spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders.
Some of the newly identified genetic risk factors are thought to be involved with Gaucher's disease, regulating inflammation and the nerve cell chemical messenger dopamine as well as alpha-synuclein, a protein that has been shown to accumulate in the brains of some cases of Parkinson's disease. Further research is needed to determine the roles of the variants identified in this study.
The study was published in Nature Genetics.

- A user from Apple Support Communities
As the official recommendation to manage iPhone iPad iPod touch, iTunes does not bring the convenience to our lives, but get us into various troubles occasionally, such as the firmware is not compatible issue, the backup was corrupt or not compatible problem, iTunes error 14, and more.
Luckily, Our iMobie team are always by your side to provide practical solutions to various such problems. In this guide, we will focus on iTunes not detecting iPhone issue.
We know that when we connect our iPhone iPad iPod touch to iTunes, for backup, restoring, syncing, or others, it will show up the device icon. As showing in the picture below.
iPhone Showing Up in iTunes When Connected
However, sometimes iPhone will not show up in iTunes, just like the user above. Even though your computer has detected your iPhone, iTunes still has the trouble of finding it. And you probably see an unknown error or an "0xE" error. If you get this trouble of iTunes not seeing iPhone, follow these methods below and try to connect your device again after each method:
How to Fix iPhone Not Showing in iTunes
Method 1. Make Sure of the Latest iTunes Working on Computer
One of the most common culprits with iPhone not showing up in iTunes is with the old iTunes. Especially you've recently purchased a brand new iPhone and are connecting it to an old iTunes on Mac or PC. A brand new iPhone will always need the latest version of iTunes. So if your iTunes is not up to date, upgrade it, and the re-connect iPhone to check whether its showing up in iTunes.
Method 2. Restart Your iPhone iPad iPod touch
Restarting device is a very common but practical way for many errors. For iTunes not detecting iPhone, it is also useful in some situation.
Method 3. Reset Privacy and Location Permissions
This way works when you have tapped "Don't Trust". You must know when you connect your iPhone or iPad to a new computer, it will ask you to trust it. But you might have accidentally hit "Don't Trust" when you saw the request pop up. This could also lead to iPhone not showing in iTunes.
Mostly, in such situation, all you have to do is disconnect and reconnect your iPhone to your computer and it will prompt you to trust it again. But if not, try resetting Location & Privacy.
Step 1. Go to Settings on your iPhone > Tap General.
Step 2. Tap Reset.
Step 3. Tap Reset Location & Privacy > Enter your passcode when prompted > Tap Reset Settings.

Method 4. Uninstall Third-Party Security Software On Mac
Security software created by companies other than Apple could prevent iTunes from connecting to Apple servers or to devices. Sometimes, you might see a numeric error message when you sync, back up, or restore your device.
Step 1. Hold down the Option key > Click the Apple menu > Choose System Information or System Report.
Step 2. From the list on the left, select USB.
Step 3. If you see your iPhone, iPad, or iPod under USB Device Tree, uninstall third-party security software.

I mentioned briefly at the house warming party that scientists have discovered ways of making chocolate, milk and other stuff from blood. Here is a link to an article on it by the Telegraph. Can't get much more highbrow than that :)
In other news the lovemap center has shifted slightly. You could get to anyone else in the main throng of people on the lovemap in 5 moves of less (discounting the "Fancies" lines) from sea_cucumber, inquis or eggwhite, but that has changed now and it's just one person (who I'm not going to say - work it out :)
I've got an irritating cough that won't go away. I have been silly and put the 9tog duvet on my bed. Which is where the cough has come from - keep kicking the smothering duvet off in the night and then catching a chill.

W.E.B. (Where Everybody Belongs)...W.E.B. is our school's program that facilitates 8th grade students mentoring and providing support to 6th grade students as they transition from Elementary School to Middle School.
In this program, students work with students to influence and create an atmosphere where all students can feel safe and supported in school.
With the support of advisors, teachers Tess Lee and Ashlie Keimig, specifically selected 8th grade students who are trained in mentoring skills and facilitating activities that help new students feel less isolated and alone in their new surroundings. Incoming 6th grade students are grouped with three "WEB Leaders" and led through a "student-to-student" orientation that provides the support that all new students can benefit from to thrive in the Middle School environment. The first day of school is set aside exclusively for incoming 6th graders and WEB leaders where activities and sessions are held to help students become familiar with the new environment and to prepare for the following day which will include attendance of ALL students.
Nervous about different classroom changes throughout the day and having more than one teacher? Concerned about managing a locker with a combination you need to remember? Intimidated by the idea of taking showers during PE? All of these issues, and any others you or your student may have, are addressed as students make this significant transition.If you have any questions regarding Wy'east's W.E.B. program, please contact one of the advisors listed above at the school at (541) 354-1548.

Editor's note: This blog post is a basic tutorial. The most up-to-date version is available in the wiki.
Android Intent Filters give Appcelerator apps the ability to receive Intents from other Android applications. If you are an Android device user, you're probably familiar with the SEND Intent. It's the one that pops up a "Share via" list of apps when you attempt to share links, pictures, videos, etc…
Here we are going to create a very simple app that will make itself available to a very specific Intent via Android Intent Filters. The app will present itself in the Intent list anytime we click on a link that is destined to https://www.appcelerator.com. This app was inspired by a Q&A entry that requested this exact behavior.
Let's first look at the code for our app. We're simply going to display a label to the user that tells them we know they just clicked on a link to www.appcelerator.com. Nothing fancy here.
If you build and run it, your output should look roughly like this:
Custom AndroidManifest.xml
In order for our Appcelerator app to leverage Intent Filter functionality, we need to make a few changes to our AndroidManifest.xml. As you may or may not know, unless you define a custom AndroidManifest.xml file for your project, Titanium Studio will generate a new one for you on each build. Here's how you create a persistent manifest that you can manage yourself.
- Create a default mobile project in Titanium Studio.
- Replace the existing app.js code with the code above.
- Build and run your app on either an Android device or emulator.
- In your project's root directory create a
- Go to your project's
build/androiddirectory and copy AndroidManifest.xml
- Paste the AndroidManifest.xml into your newly create
In the end, your project structure in Titanium Studio should look something like this:
OK, now you have a custom AndroidManifest.xml that will persist between builds. We can now make the necessary changes to allow it to receive Intents from other Android apps.
Open up your custom AndroidManifest.xml and find the main activity for your app. It should be directly under the
<!-- TI_APPLICATION --> comment. As you can see, it already includes an Intent Filter for launching the app. We are going to add one more to handle links to https://www.appcelerator.com.
Very briefly, the
data subelement tells the
intent-filter that we are handling for HTTP requests targeted at the host www.appcelerator.com. The 2
category subelements tell Android that we want to receive implicit Intents and that they can come from the browser, respectively. Finally,
action states that we will be handling VIEW intents. For more information on the specifics of Intents and Intent Filters, be sure to check the Android developer documentation on the subject.
You now have an app that is ready to receive Intents. Install it on either an Android device or emulator and make sure it runs. Now you can test the Intent Filter by doing the following:
- Open your Android browser
- Search for "appcelerator" on google.com
- Click the link for https://www.appcelerator.com
You should be greeted with an Intent list.
Select your app in the list and you will then be directed to your app containing the "I'll bet you just clicked on a link to www.appcelerator.com" label.

Knock, knock. You open the front door to be greeted by two police officers.
"How can I help you?"
"Are you (insert your name here)?"
"Um, yes," is your feeble retort.
"Can you accompany us to the station, we are led to believe you have breached your workplace email policy and sent an email to your colleague Toni at 7pm last night. You have the right to one phone call …"
The electronic leash
The above example is fictitious, but if a workforce reform bill is passed in France this could be closer to fact than fiction. The proposed bill suggests companies with more than 50 employees draft policies to minimise the way work (specifically email) is eroding time spent with families and loved ones. Eroding time spent engaging in that thing called 'life outside of work' that more and more people are finding harder to define.
Benoit Hamon of the French National Assembly told the BBC: "There is far more work-related stress today than there used to be. Employees physically leave the office, but they do not leave their work. They remain attached by a kind of electronic leash – like a dog. The texts, the messages, the emails - they colonise the life of the individual to the point where he or she eventually breaks down."
Mail trail
Now whether the bill is passed or not, it raises an interesting question: have we reached such a ridiculous phase of electronic connectivity that governments need to step in and control our behaviour?
In days gone by, companies had a mailroom where the mail (envelopes and packages back then) was delivered once a day. Mail to be sent was put in the mail tray, and gathered once a day. That was it. Simple and uncomplicated.
Reflect on how we approach 'mail' today. You wake up and immediately check social media – Instagram, LinkedIn, FaceBook, Snapchat and Twitter. Then another 'mail room' to check your online dating profile. Quick flick to email and the stream of (mostly unimportant) messages that have cascaded in overnight. Then your favourite RSS feeds, webpages and news rooms.
Good sports
No wonder when asked how they are going these days, the average worker responds with a litany of words including "fatigued, frenetic, fast-paced, fractured and fried".
Last week I had the pleasure of listening to Australian Olympic Committee CEO Fiona de Jong present at a lunch at KPMG. Her committee's goal for the Aussie Olympic team in Rio 2016 is, "to be the most respected team".
Fiona and the AOC want people to be talking about athletes being great people, not just being good at sport. Well-rounded individuals have a life outside sport – just as business people should have a life outside business.
Five ways to avoid email arrest
Whether this bill is passed or not, there are a number of proven ways to put some slack in the email leash including.
1. Turn off your pop-up alert
Just trust me on this one and turn it off, now. Pull rather than push.
2. Stop playing email tennis
After more than two or three emails and you're still not sure, talk to people. Email is not a conversation. Email was designed to be a form of asynchronous communication. Keep it that way.
3. Create e-rules
To = for you, CC = FYI. Get rid of Reply All and BCC.
4. Chunk checking times
Batch email together and aim for two or three blocks during the day (being a great emailer is not in your job description).
5. Keep it short
I love emails of five bullet point or five short sentences.
If we can get business leaders to adopt these new rules, it will go a long way to changing the crazy culture of expectation we have around email immediacy. As a knowledge worker your job is to think, to make decisions, to plan, to strategise, to communicate, to engage and to lead. Email is, and should go back to being, a communication tool.
Should businesses introduce rules around when we do and don't send email? Would it work? Let us know in the Comments section.

Is your logo legal?
Your logo is the first marketing expense you are likely to shell out for. I am a big believer that even the smallest start of business should focus on its branding from day one and invest in a well-designed logo … but unfortunately often this gets overlooked with everything else involved in setting up a business.
But what if you have invested in getting a logo designed by a professional company or graphic designer? Could there still be problems that will trip you up down the line? Unfortunately we have come across one issue that can have massive problems for a business and most people (including many designers, evidently) are not aware of it.
Do you know if your logo includes stock imagery?
Many designers and businesses rely on image libraries which have hundreds of thousands of images available to download for a modest license fee to use on marketing materials.
There is no problem with this (as long as you are not using the images to put onto products to sell i.e. clothing). The problem comes because not only do these sites provide photographs, they also supply illustrations, graphics and backgrounds which can save the designer time and money.
Many people assume that also includes logos but the license agreement does not allow for this, so any logo using these is not legal.
We have had a number of instances where we have had clients come to us with logos that contain 'bought in' elements. In one case the client was approached by the image library company and informed that they cannot continue to use their logo. Image libraries such as Getty are very large, multinational businesses who will pursue people they find are breaking their licensing agreements. Imagine if that happened to your business. What would be the cost of changing everything where you logo appears?
Why is there this restriction?
The area of image rights and licences is complex. When artists or photographers put their images on stock image websites they get a cut of the price. They are happy for their image to be used by lots of different organisations in their marketing; in support of advertising, as part of print pieces such as brochures or on websites. But a logo is something which is very identifiable (and possible to be copyrighted itself) and so limiting the life and earning potential of that image or graphic is a no-no.
And why would you?
Even if it was legal to use a stock image as part of your logo the other question is why would you? By its very nature a stock image can be purchased and used by anyone so would you want to have an images associated with your logo used by others on goodness knows what?
What can you do?
Have the conversation with your graphic designer and make sure they haven't used any stock graphics for part of the logo. Don't forget this is relevant to your logo and not other parts of your branding or marketing.
PS. Whatever you do, do not use images you have grabbed off Google images (or any other search engine) in any part of your marketing as you do not have the rights to use these images even if you are able to download them.

The stakeholders in this technology, beyond the academic and corporate researchers involved with the scientific challenges, are numerous. Doctors, lawyers, policy makers, drug companies, public health agencies, elected officials, privacy advocates, insurers of all kinds, parents, teachers, children, law enforcement and many others will face new possibilities and challenges as a result of personal genome sequencing.
But the most important stakeholder is you. Personal sequencing will provide individuals with unprecedented knowledge and access to their own genetic information. By becoming a more active and informed health care consumers, comes the power to transform and hopefully improve medicine.

"As part of my week long holiday on Shetland, I had booked a tour of the isle of Fetlar, with SeeShetland tours. After speaking to Sarah McBurnie, See-Shetlands co-ordinator, she arranged for Laurence Tulloch, a local guide and Storyteller to accompany me.
Laurence picked me up from my Bed and Breakfast in Lerwick and we set off on the journey through the central mainland of Shetland and on up to Toft for the crossing to Ulsta on Yell. From Yell, it was an easy half an hours drive to Gutcher, which is where boarded the Blumull Sound ferry over to Fetlar
We alighted at Hamars Ness on Fetlar, after the short 25-minute crossing. At the first crossroads on the single-track road , we turned right down to Brough Lodge, which was located just off the shore, to the right of the grandly named 'The sand of the sand'.
Brough Lodge was built around 1820 for Arthur Nicholson. It is a Gothic house with land that was once used for shooting, golf and tennis. As well as the lodge there is a chapel and a folly, built around 1840. The folly was built on the site of an Iron Age broch and incorporated into its design a wooden stair-tower. Originally, the folly was used for astronomy and housed a large telescope, which can still be seen at the nearby Interpretive Centre ….
The rest of this article is available as 'Garden of Plenty' on the Articles and Reviews page.
How do I get to Fetlar? Loganair (part of the Flybe group) fly from Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness and Kirkwall (Orkney) to Sumburgh airport on the southern tip of mainland Shetland. Or, you could travel by Northlink ferry from the ferry terminal in Aberdeen. To get to the isle of Fetlar, you need to catch the ferry from Gutcher on Yell to Hamars Ness on Fetlar. The ferry takes about 30 minutes to get to Fetlar. Sometimes the ferry goes via Belmont on Unst.
How do I get around on Fetlar? There is no public transport on Fetlar, however, there is a dial-a-ride service operated by R G Jamieson & Son, who need to be contacted before 4.30 pm the day before you need to travel.
What's worth visiting on Fetlar? The Fetlar Interpretive Centre at Houbie is small, but it's a mightily impressive Museum. it has interesting exhibitions and artefacts from Brough Lodge and from the life of Sir William Cheyne, Fetlar's most famous ex-resident. It is eerie watching old footage of Brough Lodge and then visiting the house to see what it has now become. Also displayed in the Interpretive Centre is the almost complete Steatite Bowl found in the Time Team excavation at Houbie.
Where can I stay on Fetlar? You can stay at Gord B & B or there is self catering accommodation at Tresta Cottage. There is also The Fetlar Campsite at Gord and Aithbank, one of Shetland's famous Camping Bod's.
Any other information on Fetlar? The isle of Fetlar has about 90% of the UK population of red-necked Phalaropes. The brightly coloured birds can be seen from the RSPB Hide at the Mires of Funzie and also at the Loch of Funzie. For more information on Fetlar please read the article Garden of Plenty and my Shetland Diary.
Other islands in Shetland: See the pages for Mainland Shetland, Bressay, Burra Isles, Fair Isle,Foula, Mousa, Noss, Out Skerries, Papa Stour, Unst, Whalsay and Yell.


text: I requested an IEP meeting because I felt that my son needed an updated FBA for his behavior plan. I got a call to schedule the date for the meeting, but I never got the prior written notice. At the meeting I brought a letter from his new psychiatrist stating his diagnoses and needs. We discussed his needs and agreed to make some changes. We agreed that he needed a reduced schedule and took away his last class of the day. He was having the most difficulties in that one. Instead he goes to a class he can use as a study hall. We decided that the teachers would only give him the most important work to catch up on so that he could get a fresh start on the next nine weeks. We also agreed that he would have a place to go if he could not handle things in a class (He could decide to go, or the teacher could tell him he needed to go). My husband asked if he needed to have his IEP/behavior plan rewritten and the answer they gave was yes. They mentioned a district therapeutic school and that it might benefit him to go there. I told them I wanted to look into that and discuss it with my child's psychiatrist. Today things fell apart for difficult child and he was told to go down to the tardy room. Apparently, they decided that the tardy room was the best place to send him. difficult child refused to go. They escorted him into the office and called me up. I spoke to difficult child and he said that he did not realize that his place to go was the tardy rooom, and that he could not go there because the teacher continuously played music in the room (he has had issues before with not doing well with teachers playing music in the classroom). He said that the music bothered him. He said that he would rather go to ISS. I spoke to the Vice Principal and he would not budge or modify anything. He said that he followed the plan, and the plan did not work. He said that now we had to pick him up. My husband picked him up and it was around lunchtime. When I got home I read this email from the guidance councelor: Dear Colleagues: In our meeting with XXXX and his family, we agreed on the following to try to address XXXs behavioral and emotional issues: XXX will drop Ms. XXX 7th period Class and go to Mr. XXXs 7th period for a non-credit study hall and a time to organize himself before going home for the day. He will continue to ride the bus home. If XXX feels that he cannot handle being in class, or if his behavior demonstrates to his teachers that he cannot handle being in class, XXX will report to Ms. XXXX in the tardy room, take a seat, and either work or sit quietly for the remainder of the period. At the end of the period he will continue on to his next class. If XXX cannot remain quiet or if he does anything disruptive in the tardy room, Ms. XXXXX will call the office and have him escorted to ISS or the main office for the remainder of the period. We will also explore the possibility of a referral to XXXX (therapeutic school)as a contingency plan in the event that this modified schedule does not meet XXX's needs. Thanks--- Then the remaining letter is address so some Dr I never heard or...maybe from the district. Dear Dr. XXX: As XXX's parents, we hereby approve the changes in XXXs schedule as outlined above. We understand that XXX will not receive credit for Mr. XXXs 7th period class because he will be using that class as a study/organization time. He will be allowed to stay at school until the end of the day to accommodate his transportation needs, but he will be considered an early dismissal after 6th period. I do not feel comfortable signing this letter. First of all, we never discussed what was to happen if difficult child refused to go to the tardy room. It states that if he does not do well in the tardy rm he needs to go to ISS or the Office for the remainder of that period. I would think that they would have sent him to ISS or kept him in the office instead of making us come to get him when he refused to go. Second of all- I don't know why they would not try to resolve the issue by asking the tardy room teacher to refrain from playing music if it disturbed him so he would feel comfortable going there, or figure out what might work better for him. Thirdly...they took it upon themselves to write in that if the plan we put into place does not meet his needs, then the next step is to consider this therapeutic school which I do not know enough about to feel comfortable with. This was never mentioned at the meeting at all! And lastly, the FBA I requested was never mentioned again. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The basic braid cable is one of the most popular patterns in knitting. It's a great pattern for sweaters or for adding a nice visual detail to a throw blanket. When done correctly, it will look like three cables braided together.
Practice Makes Perfect
This pattern may look intimidating, but it's actually pretty easy for anyone to learn. Practicing by knitting sample panels can help knitters learn this pattern. Mastering this basic stitch will move knitters skills from beginner to more advanced. This simple pattern is sure to wow your friends.
How to Knit a Braid Cable
Cable panel is 9 stitches wide on a field of reverse stockinette stitch.
Row 1: Slip 2 stitches to cable needle and hold in front. Purl 1, then knit 2 off the cable needle. Slip 1 stitch onto cable needle and hold in back. Knit 2 and purl 1 from cable needle. Repeat the front cross.
Row 2: Purl 2, knit 2, purl 4, knit 1.
Row 3: Purl 1. Slip 2 stitches onto cable needle and hold in back, knit 2, knit 2 from cable needle. Purl 2, knit 2.
Row 4: Purl 2, knit 2, purl 4, knit 1.
Row 5: Cross back as in row 1, then cross front and repeat cross back.
Row 6: Knit 1, purl 4, knit 2, purl 2.
Row 7: Knit 2, purl 2. Slip 2 stitches to cable needle and hold in front, knit 2, knit 2 from cable needle. Purl 1.
Row 8: Knit 1, purl 4, knit 2, purl 2.
Repeat these rows for pattern.
To increase the width of the panel, add stitches in reverse stockinette stitch to each side. For instance, you can increase the panel's width to 13 stitches by adding two stitches to each side, purling on the odd-numbered rows and knitting on the even rows.
A smaller version of this pattern can be made by reducing the number of cable stitches.

Research studies are generally divided into four phases:
Phase I trials are designed to confirm the safety of a new medication. Phase I trials generally involve a small group of healthy volunteers and typically last three to four months.
Phase II trials help to confirm whether or not a medication is effective. These studies are "randomized". Randomization means that participants are divided into two groups—one group receives the active treatment and the other group receives a "control". (Usually the standard treatment available).
Phase III trials are initiated once a treatment has demonstrated both safety and efficacy. Phase III trials help determine whether a medication is effective over a longer period of time. These trials are longer and larger, in terms of the number of participants. Phase III trials can provide enough data for a product to be submitted for approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Phase IV clinical trials are conducted to obtain more information on a new medicine that has been submitted to the FDA for approval. Phase IV trials are also conducted when a company is gathering more information about a product already on the market.

Today I'm sharing a collection of some of my favorite transfer methods and the fun projects
I've created using them.
One of the first methods I tried was using a product I fell in love with and use all the time. This one is on galvanized steel.
Click here to view the tutorial.
This method didn't quite seem possible but when I gave it a try I found that it did indeed work and I learned to make the cutest little pillows!
Another transfer on this Farmhouse Lazy Susan was easy and looks amazing!
This farmhouse tray was another way to create a beautiful transfer on wood.
This fabric transfer was the perfect addition to an antique telephone table.
This terra cotta planter made a great gift and was easy to personalize with this transfer method.
I hope by sharing these transfer methods I was able to give you some good ideas for your next DIY project.

ACLS Online Library: A Guide to Angioplasty
ACLS Online Library: A Guide to Angioplasty
Angioplasty is the most widely used method of treating blocked blood vessels—it is often carried out during a cardiac catheterization. A cardiac catheterization is a procedure that involves threading a long, thin tube, a catheter, through vessel, vein or artery, in the leg or arm into the heart.
Once the catheter is threaded, different procedures can be done to diagnose or treat heart disease. A dye may be injected through the catheter for imaging, and electrical impulses may be used to study irregular heartbeats.
In the case of angioplasty, a tiny balloon is inflated inside the artery to open up the vessel at the point of blockage. A stent is often placed to keep the artery open upon removal of the catheter.
Angioplasty may be a recommendation for patients with certain heart conditions, such as atherosclerosis, the build-up of fats and other substances on the walls of the artery.
Before an Angioplasty
Before a patient is considered fit for an angioplasty they must undergo diagnostic procedures, such as imaging, urinalysis, and blood tests, to ensure it is the appropriate treatment to provide the best possible outcome.
Before a scheduled angioplasty, patients follow a particular diet and drug regimen. Usually, the patient will fast for six to eight hours before the procedure. Preparation may be different if the patient is staying in the hospital or if the catheterization is an emergency.
The doctor may instruct the patient to stop taking certain medications, such as certain diabetes medications. Blood thinners, such as Coumadin® may need to be stopped several days before the test. Antiplatelet drugs, such as aspirin (ASA) or Ticlid, usually remain a part of the patient's regimen and should not be stopped unless the doctor specifically instructs them to do so. Patients should take approved medication with small sips of water.
After an Angioplasty
An angioplasty requires an overnight observation in the hospital and a designated driver the next day.
After the procedure, the catheter is withdrawn. Firm pressure is applied for 20 to 40 minutes where the catheter is removed to stop any bleeding. A sandbag is then applied over the site, generally the groin, for up to 6 hours ensure the artery seals up properly.
The patient is instructed to call the nurse immediately if:
- There is sudden pain.
- There are warm, sticky sensations or fluid or blood on the affected site.

Random Thoughts 5/6/13
The President and the First Lady are proud of Jason Collins who they, no doubt, never met. Me, I don't care. It's not 'don't care' as in apathetic, it's don't care as in I don't care about sexual orientation. I've know too many great gay folks over the years to use that as a basis for any judgment resulting in pride. I've been proud of them for their behavior, professionalism or character but not due solely to sexual orientation. 40 years ago 'coming out' was a big deal, not so much anymore. I'm trying to figure out, other than another meaningless 'first', what there is to be proud of. If sexual orientation is 'wired', which I tend to believe it is in the vast majority of cases, are the Obamas proud because of how Mr. Collins is 'wired? The sexual orientation of an essentially third tier player at the end of his career should not be a big deal. I know it is to some, but it shouldn't be. Oops just saw the headline Mr. Collins will headline a DNC fund raising event. Got my answer!
The President's 'red line' is a wonderful example of why he should say less, consider carefully and do more. It's a dramatic and yet all too frequent example of the President not fully considering consequences. In this case, the consequence is credibility, most crucially with Russia, China and Iran assuming we had any left. To make matters worse the New York Times reports that an unnamed Obama aid tells the Grey Lady that; "If he (Assad) drops sarin gas on his own people, what's that got to do with us?" It's the credibility stupid! Best to be quiet and keep them guessing than to open one's mouth and confirm the worst.
Benghazi could begin to blow up on the administration this week, but only if the majority of the media gets on the story; meaning that the evidence and testimony is so overwhelming that they are forced into it. Which news outlet leads with what story on Wednesday night's network news, and what's above the fold on Thursday morning will tell the tale; reporting or rationalization? Talking about or talking points.
There can be little doubt that with Benghazi as the current primary piece of evidence, any semblance of the truth or truth telling has become so politicized as to position the people who represent us (with some exceptions) as the greatest threat to our well being and security.
I want the Kardashians off my TV!
The testimony in Dr. Gosnell's trial is so horrific that both sides of the abortion issue should find some sliver of common ground. That common ground is adoption; promoted and supported by both sides of the argument.
Note to Senator Rubio, if Chuck Schumer is smiling, you're in trouble.

From the castle, we walked around the mound, down Playfair Steps and into Princes Street Gardens. We purchased our tour tickets and were on our way. Our first stop was at the Museum of Childhood. I had heard so much about this museum and we were eager to give it a try. It was ok as display cases go, but it was remarkably lacking in interactivity.
Our next stop was at Ocean Terminal to tour the Royal Yacht.
While we were at Ocean Terminal, we went into the mall and into Build-A-Bear where Heather made bears to take back for her friends.
After a long, full day, it was back to the hotel to have some dinner and to wait for daddy to skype us.

Bedřich SMETANA (1824-1884)
Dalibor - opera in three acts (1868) [144:35]
Václav Zítek (baritone) - King of Bohemia
Vilém Přibyl (tenor) - Dalibor
Bohuslav Maršík (baritone) - Budivoj
Jaroslav Horáček (bass) - Beneš
Miloš Ježil (tenor) - Vítek
Eva Děpoltová (soprano) - Milada
Naďa šormová (soprano) - Jitka
Karel Hanuš (bass) - One of the judges
Brno State Opera Chorus and Brno State Philharmonic Orchestra/Václav Smetáček
rec. Stadion Hall, Brno, 9 June - 2 September 1979. stereo. AAD
For all its fame, both in the Czech Republic and beyond, Dalibor is poorly served by commercial recordings. There seem to be about half a dozen on the market, but all are blighted either by poor casting or low hi sound. This new issue, of a 1979 recording under Václav Smetáček, isn't ideal, but at least it does the work justice. The Czech cast all have a real affinity for the music, and while none of their contributions is stellar, the consistent standard across the board aids the coherency of the result. The sound quality is not to the highest standards either, even for 1979, but the digital re-mastering is sensitively done.
The opera itself is a curious mix of Czech nationalism and Germanic cultural hegemony. The plot, about an imprisoned freedom fighter, is clearly indebted to Fidelio, while the music owes just as much to Lohengrin and Tannhäuser. Complaints have been made down the years about the amount of German influence here, but Smetana integrates these elements well into a work that stands on its own considerable merits. It's well worth hearing without the visuals; especially the military marches and atmospheric scene-changes, which go a long way towards setting the mood and telling the story.
Smetáček gives an expansive reading of the score, energetic but never dictatorial. He allows the singers all the space they need for their arias, and the results are all the more passionate and personal as a result. When Smetana requires careful control from the podium, Smetáček is always ready to deliver. The composer often writes long, even crescendos over the course of one or two phrases, and the even gradation that the conductor achieves always creates the drama the music seeks.
The cast is made up of dependable and confident singers, all of whom expertly balance passionate expression with clarity of diction. Vilém Přibyl sings the title role with an impressively rich tone, although he can sometimes sound a little strained at the top. He really takes advantage of the space that Smetáček gives him for his solo arias, and you get the impression that he has taken full control of the stage every time he begins to sing. King Vladislav is sung by the baritone Václav Zítek. His is a big Slavic voice, which really comes into its own in the lower register. The pick of the female leads is Naďa šormová as Jitka. Her tone is intense but always focused, and her diction is impeccable.
Good singing too from the chorus, which is large but never unruly. The orchestra, the Brno State Philharmonic, are also in their element with this music, particularly in the marches. The balance between stage and pit is good, but the sound quality is far better for the singers than it is for the players. The orchestra often sounds distant, with the higher sounds, the piccolo in particular, frustratingly thin of tone.
If that is the price we have to pay for an otherwise impressive digital transfer, then so be it. The work is still in need of a good quality modern recording, but given the pride the Czech musical establishment takes in its operatic repertoire, that can only be a matter of time. Until then, this version will serve the opera well. Even when new recordings do appear on the market, this one will probably remain the budget version of choice.
Gavin Dixon
This version serves Smetana and Dalibor well.

This would make the IPCC target of a 50% reduction in global carbon emissions by 2050 (on 1990 levels) difficult to achieve, increasing the probability of global mean temperatures rising above the critical level of +2 Degrees. (See why 2 Degrees is a critical level in The 2 Degree Target).
Under this scenario:
- Developing countries will account for 70 per cent of global carbon dioxide by 2030, up from around half today, with China (41%) and India (11%) taking the largest share, due to increasing population (+22% by 2030), industrialisation, and the greater energy demands as living standards improve in these countries.
- Australia's carbon emissions would rise 24% by 2020. The strong growth in emissions would be dominated by the extraction and processing of energy resources.

On Tuesday, I came up with an idea for a new website and spent the last couple of nights getting it ready to launch. I was inspired to create this site because some helpful posters on the Cemetery Dance Forums pointed out some HUGELY discounted horror eBooks on Amazon that I definitely would have missed without their help. These were all classic or bestselling titles that I had read before but ordered for my e-reader for future re-reads because the price was unbeatable. As I was placing my orders, I realized it would be great if someone gathered future deals in one place for horror readers. Then I set out to do just that.
Here's my basic pitch to promote the website:
Would you like to have bought the eBook editions of I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, Swan Song by Robert McCammon, Horns by Joe Hill, and Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill for just $1.99 each?
Or how about The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty or The Boys from Brazil by Ira Levin for just $2.99 each?
Those were the first six featured deals on my new "eHorror Bargains" website and there are many more bargains to come! If you sign-up for my FREE updates on the site, you'll automatically be notified the moment I post about a new heavily discounted or free horror eBook!
Read more or sign-up for FREE notifications here:
You can also follow my FREE updates on these social networking websites:
(In fact, Heart-Shaped Box and Horns are still just $1.99, and The Exorcist and The Boys from Brazil are still just $2.99, so follow this link for more information if you're interested!)
Thanks, as always, for your continuing support!

He loses control of the broom, flooding the room with water, before the old wizard returns to end the spell. Arranged for 14 players by Iain Farrington, Dukas' score brilliantly captures the humour and wildness of the poem.

Format: Digital
Excerpt here
Release Date: April 21, 2011
Purchase: Amazon
A sizzling romantic suspense.
Her enemy is her passion, her passion is her enemy.
Lindsey Paxton was once the number one defense attorney in New York. She fought for those who were innocent, but charged. Her instincts were her lifeline, never failing her, as they guided her in her choices of who to defend. Or so she thought. Until she won a case she would forever wish to have lost. Her client, an accused rapist, kills and rapes a woman only a day after being set free. Destroyed by her role in the woman's death, Lindsey blames her father's controlling ways for what she has become, and runs from her career and life. Years later - the past becomes the present . . . Her father has cancer, and Lindsey is forced to leave her career with the Washington branch of the FBI. She finds herself facing the responsibility of running her father's law firm with the reluctant help of hotshot attorney Mark Reeves, a man who sparks her temper while also managing to tempt her body, her mind, maybe even her heart. With his help she finds herself fighting the emotional battles of the past, tempted to trust both him and her instincts. Now, faced with a case inherited from her father so similar to her career-ending one, she now must decide if her instincts will lead her down the path to saving an innocent man or setting free another killer. But while she fights her own battles, someone watches, wanting from the past what he had failed to get the first time . . . Lindsey.
SECRETS EXPOSED by Lisa Renee Jones was a good sampler on the taste and feel of her Tall, Dark and Sexy series. After reading, If I Were You, I know I have to read more of her contemporary novels and TD&S is as good as any place to start.
SECRETS EXPOSED has a sexy, thrilling crime mystery vibe to it and though I envy Lindsey Paxton for her beauty, brains and gorgeous arm/man candy, Mark Reeves, I don't want to be in her shoes. Defending a guilty client is tough, dealing with an obsessed serial rapist who's fond of victimizing girls who looks like you is another. Throughout the novel I was trying to solve who this person is as hard as Lindsey and Mark and when the identity of this perp was finally revealed, he's the last person I expect to accost Lindsey in such a disturbing manner.
Her eyes went wide at the sight he made. Sexy, powerful, and far too attractive for Lindsey's comfort, he seemed to fill the room with his presence.Lindsey and Mark is a cute couple and from the start you can feel the sexual tension between these two. Mark is so male, very protective and loyal to Lindsey. Even if the latter was having doubts about him, Mark rode it out patiently and proved to her that he wants to be a permanent fixture in Lindsey's life. Mark has everything I like in a hero and he's designed to make us feel giddy and inspire a little envy because Lindsey is one lucky lady to have snagged a very eligible bachelor like him. Lindsey for her part fits the part of heroine perfectly and though she's the target of a very disturbing obsession, she proved that she's not someone one could easily victimize and that makes her a good heroine in my book.
I so love this book, this is very indicative of the direction this series is taking however if you decide to skip this and proceed to Hot Secrets, you can do that too as SECRETS EXPOSED is a completely different story from the ones starring LRJone's Walker Brothers. I think the similarity lies in the theme: thought-provoking, fantasy-inducing, thrilling mysteries designed to have us gasping for air and our hearts pounding like a dragon boat drum. And if SECRETS EXPOSED is mild compared to the succeeding books, then I'm in for the challenge, a sexy mystery is good for the mind and the heart, keeps us healthy.
Everything male in him wanted to grab her and pull her into his arms and tell her everything would work out.LRJones can really whip up a good mystery and this is one of the reasons why I have become a fan of her work. She told me that SECRETS EXPOSED is tame compared to the next three Walker books in the series because this one was written with the intention of being part of a public library collection and said libraries wanted a tame romance novel sitting on their shelves. She assured me that the Walker Brothers are spicy so I think tame is an adjective that will not be applicable to this series moving forward.
So what are you waiting for? Grab any of Lisa's books, you won't regret it!
NOTE: I had a convo with Lisa about this book and if you have a copy, please know that she's aware of the errors in the font style and size, she said that she tried fixing it several times but most likely the glitch occurred when she converted the file into a mobi format. So I hope that you won't ding her for this technicality, the story is so much more than a couple of boo-boos.

Kelly Clarkson reached new heights shooting her next video — literally.
The original "American Idol" winner performed on a rooftop in downtown Los Angeles for "The Trouble With Love Is," the third single from Thankful and first from the "Love Actually" soundtrack.
Bryan Barber, best known for Outkast's stunningly visual videos, directed the clip, which also features kids watching "Love Actually" on a rooftop adjacent to the one Clarkson's on.
Along with the high-altitude shots, Barber also created several vignettes showing kids dealing with troubled relationships, which will be interspersed with the performance footage. The scenes will take place in the rooms of the building Kelly is performing on and will include a girl fighting for attention from her video-game addict boyfriend and another girl climbing on the fire escape after arguing with her mother.
"Love Actually," which opens Friday, features Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson and Colin Firth in an ensemble romantic comedy directed by veteran screenwriter Richard Curtis ("Four Weddings and a Funeral," "Bridget Jones's Diary"). The soundtrack, due November 11, includes previously released material from Clarkson, Dido, Norah Jones, Wyclef Jean, Maroon 5 and others.
The "The Trouble With Love Is" video premieres Friday (November 7) on "TRL" and will be included on a Kelly Clarkson DVD, "Miss Independent," due November 18, according to her spokesperson. The videos for "A Moment Like This," "Before Your Love," "Miss Independent" and "Low" will be included as well, along with a documentary on the making of the "Low" video and behind-the-scenes pictures (see "A New 'Low' For Kelly Clarkson As She Seeks Out Revenge"). Live performances of her singles — plus "Respect" and "Natural Woman" — from various stops on the 2002 "American Idol" tour, in addition to various TV performances round out the disc.
Clarkson will promote her new single and DVD with performances on November 16 at the American Music Awards and November 25 at an "American Idol" holiday special.
"You Thought Wrong," Clarkson's duet with Tamyra Gray, which she was hoping would be Thankful's third single (see "Kelly Clarkson's Next Single May Be Reunion With Tamyra Gray"), is being considered for the fourth.

From a boat on the Canal du Midi, Carcassonne, Languedoc
our little group on a boat on the Canal du Midi, Carcassonne, Languedoc
Today I fell in love with a bottling machine, toured the largest still-intact Medieval fortified city in the world, ate Carcassonne Cassoulet on a boat, and drank some of the best $19 Methode Traditionelle that I'll be buying as my everyday bubbles from now on because whoa-value-plus-yummy (did you know that Dom Perignon made his sparkling wine in St Hilaire, Languedoc and THEN moved North to Champagne and started making it there?).
I also put myself smack dab in the middle of an area where I have only occasional online access, and not the time to post, so I'll likely not be back here till next week. In the meantime, I am posting some occasional photos on Twitter and Facebook. Cheers!
