Planting trees along a river bank can provide environmental benefits such as preventing soil erosion, providing shelter for wildlife and decreasing runoff of pollutants into the water. It is important to select the right varieties for planting along a waterway to ensure of their survival and success. Choose trees that are tolerant of wet soils, are native to the area and will look nice growing along the banks. Once the trees become established, leave them undisturbed to grow and develop into a natural planting.
River Birch
The river birch, or Betula nigra, grows best near water. It is a fast-growing tree that can reach heights of 50 feet and widths of 40 feet in optimal growing conditions. It produces triangular serrated leaves that are supported by a multitrunk base. Each trunk is covered with dark grey to black flaky, peeling bark. River birches are hardy to USDA planting zones 3 to 9, prefer acidic soils and can grow in areas that receive full sun to partial shade.
Quaking Aspen
Quaking aspen, also know as Populus tremuloides, grow all over North America. These trees have chalky white bark and dark green leaves that tremble in the breeze. They require moist to wet soils and full sun conditions to thrive. They are most hardy in zones 3 to 6. Quaking aspen trees can reach heights of 50 feet with a width of 20 feet. These trees grow in clumps and make excellent windbreaks and natural plantings.
Nuttall Oak
The nuttall oak, red river oak or Quercus nuttallii, is found in the southeastern United States. This tree grows well in heavy, clay soils that remain wet. It will only grow in areas that receive full sunlight and is hardy to zones 5 through 9. It is a large tree that can grow 40 to 60 feet tall with a spread of 25 to 30 feet. Wildlife such as squirrels, deer, ducks and wild turkeys eat the nuttall oak's acorns during the winter.
Weeping Willow
Weeping willow, or Salix babylonica, is best know for its weeping habit. The branches seem to cascade down the tree with a waterfall-like appearance. Weeping willows require a moist growing environment with heavy soils and can survive in areas with standing water. They prefer full sun areas and often can be found growing along streams and rivers in the wild. They can reach heights of 50 feet tall and spread to widths of 35 feet. Weeping willows are hardy in zones 4 through 9.

6. For HIV-positive mothers, WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months unless replacement feeding is:
- acceptable (socially welcome)
- feasible (facilities and help are available to prepare formula)
- affordable (formula can be purchased for six months)
- sustainable (feeding can be sustained for six months)
- safe (formula is prepared with safe water and in hygienic conditions).
- all formula labels and information to state the benefits of breastfeeding and the health risks of substitutes;
- no promotion of breast-milk substitutes;
- no free samples of substitutes to be given to pregnant women, mothers or their families; and
- no distribution of free or subsidized substitutes to health workers or facilities.
9. WHO recommends that a new mother should have at least 16 weeks of absence from work after delivery, to be able to rest and breastfeed her child. Many mothers who go back to work abandon exclusive breastfeeding before the recommended six months because they do not have sufficient time, or an adequate place to breastfeed or express and store their milk at work. Mothers need access to a safe, clean and private place in or near their workplaces to continue the practice.
10. To meet the growing needs of babies at six months of age, complementary foods should be introduced as they continue to breastfeed. Foods for the baby can be specially prepared or modified from family meals. WHO notes that:
- breastfeeding should not be decreased when starting complementary feeding;
- complementary foods should be given with a spoon or cup, not in a bottle;
- foods should be clean, safe and locally available; and
- ample time is needed for young children to learn to eat solid foods.

Thank you for the memories. Thank you for your generosity.
For many years, Harrison Pensa LLP hosted the annual Turkey Bowl. This annual affair provided our clients and friends with the opportunity to demonstrate the sense of community and giving-back that we hold in high regard. Each year, Harrison Pensa invited several hundred of our clients from the London and surrounding community to help raise money for London Lawyers Feed the Hungry – a charity founded locally by Claude and Elaine Pensa – while enjoying a great game of football on American Thanksgiving. Every year, thousands of dollars were raised by our clients, colleagues and friends of the firm to purchase hundreds of holiday turkeys for area families and organizations in need.
While the fundraising event has come to an end we remain proud and thankful for the support and the generosity of our clients and friends. We are fortunate to be associated with such a special group of clients and friends who share the belief in giving back to our community. The thoughtfulness of our past guests has meant that since 2004 until 2014, close to 5000 turkeys were given to those less fortunate. It's gratifying to see this kind of spirit and generosity. It's even more gratifying to know that the event helped more Londoners celebrate what should always be a joyous time for all.

Ford of Europe COO Barb Samardzich has revealed some new details about the highly anticipated Focus RS.
Ford of Europe COO Barb Samardzich has revealed some new details about the highly-anticipated Focus RS.
Speaking to Auto Express, Samardzich said "I can't give you any confirmation today, but let's say there's a strong desire" to build a Focus RS. Her sentiments were backed up by an unnamed spokesperson who told the magazine "We have a rich heritage of RS cars, and we're not about to let any competitors overtake us in that respect."
Ford is staying coy on details but the model is expected to use a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that produces anywhere from 330-350 bhp (246- 261 kW). It will reportedly send power to the front wheels vehicle via an electronic differential. While this sounds like a recipe for torque steer, the Focus RS is slated to use the company's Revoknuckle front suspension which has been designed specifically for high-performance front-wheel drive applications.
If everything pans out, the Focus RS could be launched in 2016 and cost approximately £27,000. The delayed launch will likely make the model a last hurrah for the current Focus as it is expected to be replaced by an all-new model in 2017.

Happy New Year to you all! I hope your holiday season was full of goodness. I'm working through a couple of commissions at the moment and just finished this one today. A commission of Fisher Peak. There is a beautiful range of mountains in Cranbrook, BC, one that I had the privilege of viewing daily for 15 years, Fisher Peak is the highlight of that range. The funny thing is that I never painted those peaks until I moved away. This is only my second painting of Fisher Peak – the first one I did a few years ago and can be seen by clicking HERE. My client grew up in the Kootenays and has since moved away but has fond memories of Fisher Peak, Hence the title 'Mountain Memories'.

Up the Iron Range, New Landscape Painting
This painting was inspired by a little trip my family and I took up into the mountains. It's a place in these here parts called the Iron Range. It was fall and we were collecting dead fallen trees for firewood to keep us warm this winter. Sounds so rustic – eh? 😉 It was stunning up there and I feel like neither my photos nor my painting can quite do it justice.
This was my preliminary study sketch drawn from the photograph I took below. The completed painting looks a lot different from the original photo – obviously I took artistic license and embellished a little. 😉 This was fun process – I think I'm finally reaching a place where I can start to meld my desire to be more painterly with my natural instinct to paint flowing smooth lines.
I guess this is likely my last painting of 2015 (unless I can squeak something in before New Year Day 😉 ). Wishing you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Lake McDonald Commission Painting Completed!
So excited to finally share this with you all! I took my time on this commission. I didn't want to rush it – I wanted it to be just right and it was worth the long wait. This piece is for a family that I hold very dear and I'm so honoured that it will be hanging in their home ( I could squeal it makes me so happy!).
The painting was inspired by these two images of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. Apparently those rainbow rocks you see in the pictures below really do look like that! Beautiful lake, mountains and setting – wow!
I had two main goals with this commission; first to create depth – I wanted an intense perspective – I tried to make the mountains pull you into the background. And second I wanted the rocks to be more than just rocks. I'll explain why… This lake, these mountains, obviously mean a lot to the family who commissioned this and thus it must hold some important memories and feelings for them. I painted the rocks in the foreground in a more impressionistic/Monet fashion because I wanted the eye to delight in them but maybe also wonder exactly what they are. For example, my son saw them a possibly flowers floating on the lake. The rocks needed to be open to interpretation to create a bit of joy, a bit of wonder and whimsy – a way of trying to capture how this family's memories of Lake McDonald might feel. (Here's hoping that feeling worked out okay.)
Thanks for checking this out friends – hope you enjoy seeing some of the painting as it progressed below. 🙂
A Place You Belong – New Painting
I just realized that it's been a little while since I posted here – a whole month in fact! EEK! Well that's what happens with the onset of school, extracurriculars, fall programs and life in general! (Yes, I miss summer already…)
This new painting was slow in the making… but I'm SO excited to finally share it with you!
It was inspired by the photograph pictured below. This shot was taken by my friend Becky McArthur while she was hiking at Welsh Lakes – far back in the mountains behind the Invermere area (BC, Canada). I titled the painting in honour of my friend by calling it, 'A Place You Belong'. This is most certainly where Becky's heart belongs – in the mountains.
I always try to set myself up for some kind of challenge while I paint and this time I opted to steer away from my rainbow brights and try a keep my colour palette simple. (You'd think this would be easy… Less colours right? Oh no, trust me, it was SOOOOOOO hard!) I wrestled like crazy to keep myself from adding red, orange and everything else under the sun but in the end I'm happy that I did! I do hope you enjoy seeing my progress!

VR headsets will probably be the biggest new addition to entertainment in the next two years. There are tons of upcoming virtual reality experiences between Oculus Rift, HTC Vive & Steam VR, Project Morpheus, Microsoft HoloLens, and smartphone experiences like Google Cardboard. VR really is the next big thing, and because of the depth of the immersion, in some ways I mean that quite literally.
So there was a lot that happened at GDC this year. DirectX and Vulkan 3D APIs that I talked about in the last post just scratch the surface. Among everything that happened at GDC, Valve arguably had the most extensive and most industry-changing announcements. This blog post on the Valve website goes over most of the stuff that they announced in more detail, and the Steam Universe website has plenty of awesome info about each product as well as some sweet pictures that I'll post below.
Originally this post was gonna be me spazzing out about more video games, but right as I created a blank post I ran into a tweet about DirectX 12. DirectX has been around for AGES and it's what most game companies use to actually get their games running in 3D on PC with the Direct3D Drivers, so hearing new information about DirectX is basically hearing new information about the future of PC gaming!

Dreamlike and Surreal Photo Composites by Anna McNaught
Anna McNaught is a talented photographer, graphic designer and artist currently based in Los Angeles, California. "I have been surrounded with art in all forms from my family ever since I can remember," she says. Anna received her BS in Photography from Ithaca College, New York. She creates stunning dreamlike and fine art photo manipulations. " I developed a strong passion for photography and design from a young age with a constant drive to create and observe the world around me," McNaught explained. "As a child, I was enthralled with the fast paced, glamour and glitz world of fashion, photography, and design. This has evolved and matured from the superficial into my artistic pursuit of emotion and meaning through the media of photography and graphic design."
I love sleek design, surrealism, clean layouts, bright photographs, and the occasional messy desk (it aids in my creative expression)

IT Project Insanity: Doing the Same Thing, Expecting Different Results
In the 19 years I've worked in IT, I've seen hundreds of projects start out the same way, over and over again.
Somehow, with each project, we expect better results than before, without making any significant adjustments to the way it is implemented. As an industry, we will classically focus on budget, scope, design, architecture, timeline, metrics, stakeholders, agile vs. waterfall, quality control methods and a myriad of other project variables and deliverables. Regardless of how well we do in the execution of a project, every IT Management solution has an Achilles Heel – user adoption. If we fail at this, the project is a failure.
We know we need user adoption to create value. If we build a system, a process or any other IT solution and people don't use it, what value could it possibly have?
In order to get the results we expect from these solutions, people have to adopt them.
Is it possible to get viral promotion of a new IT Management function like Self Service Catalog or Business Service Management dashboard? Absolutely!
Adoption is a decision that we can influence
Adoption requires people to change their behaviors and thoughts to fully embrace new habits and patterns of working and living. When people decide to adopt, they become fully invested and ideally, become evangelists of the new solution and its benefits.
In order to influence adoption, we must first understand how people decide to adopt.
USA Today confirms that "… irrational psychology, rather than cool calculation, plays a role in..decisions." In other words, how we decide is emotional.
Think about your own personal decision-making process when buying a car, for example.
First, you show interest. The car catches your eye. It stirs something inside of you. You like what you see and are motivated to learn more about what you saw.
Second we trust, or not. We whip our heads around to catch a glimpse of the manufacture's emblem. If it is a brand that we do not trust, game over. If we do trust it, game on. I want it, I trust it…how do I get it? All emotion so far…
Third, we pass this decision forward to our rational brain. You conduct personal research of your own to rationalize, or justify, what you want to do.
Interestingly enough, while some of the rationalization is personal, most of it is so you can explain to your friends and family, the logic behind the decision that you want to make.
Finally, the decision always tips back to the emotional part of our brain, sometimes throwing all logic out of the window.
If you want people to grasp your ideas and really be engaged, first, find a way to get them interested. Fight the urge to rationalize the benefits with facts and figures. That's like going to the gym and jumping on a treadmill spinning at 10 mph. It's going to be painful.
Find a way to make it personal. The more personal the results, and the benefit of the result, the more motivated people will be to adopt.
Adoption can happen when IT leadership understands that there is no KPI that is more important than usage and user sentiment. Our vision and goals for IT transformation can live, but more commonly, die by this.
The quality and capability of tools, processes and people matter quite a bit, but it is not what matters most. Adoption and communication help build an emotional connection between IT Management solutions and the people who are using them, resulting inlasting impact and transformation.
What can we do to help change the status quo? How can we help IT communicate more effectively to improve business results?
Join me next time, to discuss how communicating results instead of requirements can help you focus on what matters from the budgeting process through to go-live and ensure your projects are not needlessly overweight.

Iran's "A Separation," Canada's "Monsieur Lazhar" and Poland's "In Darkness" are among the nine films to make the shortlist in the Best Foreign-Language Film category, the Academy announced on Wednesday.
Also making the cut: Belgium's "Bullhead," Denmark's "Superclasico," Germany's "Pina," Israel's "Footnote," Morocco's "Omar Killed Me" and Taiwain's "Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale."
"Pina," a 3D documentary about dance pioneer Pina Bausch, is an unusual selection for voters in the category. "Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale" is a four-and-a-half hour epic about a native uprising against Japanese occupiers in 1930, which according to Academy voters played like gangbusters at a sparsely attended Saturday morning screening.
Films from several high-profile international auteurs failed to make the shortlist, including Aki Kaurismaki's wry "Le Havre," Bela Tarr's "The Turin Horse" and Nuri Bilge Ceylan's "Once Upon a Time in Anatolia."
Other films that were not selected included France's "Declaration of War," Mexico's "Miss Bala" and China's "The Flowers of War," with Christian Bale.
Volunteers who made up the foreign-language general committee viewed all 63 nominees at Academy screenings over the past three months, and scored each film on a scale of six to 10.
The six films with the highest average scores moved on, and a 20-person executive committee met on Tuesday night and added three films of its own choosing to complete the shortlist.
The foreign-language shortlist always prompts guessing games about which films were voted in by the general committee and which were saved by the executive committee. Among this year's selections, the general committee seems likely to be responsible for "Footnote," "Monsieur Lazhar," "Superclasico," "In Darkness," "Warriors of the Rainbow" and "A Separation" — though if that last film was not voted in by the general committee, it certainly would have been a save.
"Bullhead" was a probable executive-committee save, and "Pina" and "Omar Killed Me" may have been as well.
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, two specially-chosen committees – a 20-person committee in Los Angeles and a 10-person committee in New York – will watch the nine shortlisted films, three each day, and then vote for the five nominees.
Going into those screenings, it's worth remembering that the phase-two committees are generally closer in makeup to the executive committee than to the general committee — so that films that are placed on the shortlist by the executive committee tend to fare well when it comes to receiving nominations.
The phase-two committee is going to have at least one extremely long day, though, with the 267-minute running time for "Warriors of the Rainbow" making it something of a Herculean task on a day that also includes two other screenings.
The shortlist:
Belgium, "Bullhead," Michael R. Roskam, director;
Canada, "Monsieur Lazhar," Philippe Falardeau, director;
Denmark, "Superclásico," Ole Christian Madsen, director;
Germany, "Pina," Wim Wenders, director;
Iran, "A Separation," Asghar Farhadi, director;
Israel, "Footnote," Joseph Cedar, director;
Morocco, "Omar Killed Me," Roschdy Zem, director;
Poland, "In Darkness," Agnieszka Holland, director;
Taiwan, "Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale," Wei Te-sheng, director.
Over the past several months, TheWrap has seen 43 of the 63 submissions, including eight of the nine shortlisted films (all except "Omar Killed Me"). Here are the reviews of the shorlisted films:
Belgium: "Bullhead"
Director: Michael Roskam
It's not film noir, it's farm noir. Roskam's film starts out as a black comedy and turns into a dark drama about a gallery of characters – crooks, cops and the occasional innocent bystander – intersecting with what its director calls "the Belgian hormone mafia." (Apparently, there really is such a thing.)
The film is visceral, tough, intermittently funny and occasionally affecting, with a style that seems to be as pumped full of steroids and hormones as its characters, both human and bovine. About a third of the way in, though, an incident with a young boy takes place that is so horrific that it tips the scales and makes a fairly dense plot involving the cattle hormone traffickers, an informant and a police investigation seem thoroughly secondary.
Canada: "Monsieur Lazhar"
Director: Philippe Falardeau
The story of an Algerian immigrant teacher who takes over a traumatized fifth-grade class after the suicide of their former teacher, "Monsieur Lazhar" is in some ways vaguely reminiscent of the 2008 French entry (and Oscar nominee) "The Class," but with better-behaved kids, a less-accomplished teacher and significantly less grit in the shooting style,
The winner of awards at 11 different film festivals, Falardeau's film is subtle, understated and free of the usual classroom-drama clichés; Lazhar (played by the French comic Fellag) is no Mr. Chips or John Keating ("Dead Poet's Society") inspiring and saving his kids, but a good man uneasily making his way through a difficult situation with equal parts heart and bluff. After the screening I saw (not an official AMPAS screening, but one nonetheless filled with Oscar voters), the buzz was strong.
Denmark: "Superclasico"
Director: Ole Christian Madsen
What hath "Simple Simon" wrought? That quirky Swedish comedy made the shortlist last year, and now at least two Scandinavian countries have followed suit with lighter entries of their own.
"Superclasico" is a comedy of misadventure that starts when a Danish man and his teenage son travel to Argentina to see the wife who has left him for a younger soccer star. In a way, the film's most amusing and vibrant characters are the peripheral ones: a cranky old man in a bar, the self-centered soccer star, a stern but randy maid …
The film is twisted, dark and silly, with a sweet ending that could make it stand out amidst the generally downbeat competition in this category. "Simple Simon" notwithstanding, "Superclasico" is not necessarily the type of film you'd expect to see advance, but by all reports it played well at its Academy screening and has some high-placed supporters.
Germany: "Pina"
Director: Wim Wenders
Veteran German director Wim Wenders ("Paris, Texas," "Wings of Desire") has made a brilliant and beautiful dance documentary about the visionary work of his longtime friend, the late choreographer Pina Bausch, and her Tanztheater Wuppertal.
Bausch's daring, startling and gorgeous work stakes out a bracing territory between modern dance and performance art, and Wenders makes remarkable use of 3D to vividly create the spaces in which the Bausch's work takes place; it's the most effective 3D film I've ever seen, and one that marvelously captures the experience of a Bausch performance.
Crucially, I say this as an aficionado who's seen Bausch's company every time they've come to Los Angeles since 1984. Those who haven't been won over and aren't familiar with her company – and let's face it, most Oscar voters fall into that camp – may find her repetitive, slow-paced choreography infuriating (or maybe just boring) rather than mesmerizing.
To the foreign-language committee's credit, they're screening the film for voters in 3D (as opposed to the documentary branch, whose members will view it on 2D screeners). The tricky part will be persuading those voters, who generally expect and respond to serious narrative dramas, that it's okay to recognize a documentary about art in this category. That rarely happens, but I'd like to think "Pina" is arresting enough to turn the trick (or to sway the executive committee).
Iran: "A Separation"
Director: Asghar Farhadi
With a lead character who loses the audience's sympathy in the first scene, "A Separation" is a tough but compelling drama that touches on tradition, justice and male-female relationships in modern Iran. When a family court refuses a woman's petition for divorce so that she can leave the country (and her husband's Alzheimer's-stricken father) with her 11-year-old daughter, she leaves her husband to hire a caretaker; things go awry with the new caretaker, and the husband ends up back in court, where a web of lies on both sides is gradually stripped away to its uneasy conclusion.
At a time when Iran's repression of its filmmakers is coming to the forefront, "A Separation" – filmed without government support by a director who was briefly banned from making it after a speech that offended the state – deals with contradictions and conflicts in Iranian society without openly criticizing the ruling regime.
Voters' desire to support Iranian filmmaking may help the film's chances, though "A Separation" is challenging and complex enough to earn a berth on its own. Still, this is one of the films that I suspect may need the help of the executive committee to make the shortlist.
Israel: "Footnote"
Director: Joseph Cedar
Eliezer Shkolnik is a cranky, vaguely misanthropic academic who's spent his entire career exploring a narrow study of alternative versions of the Talmud from his post at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. His son Uriel is a professor of the same discipline at the same university, with a career that threatens to eclipse his father's. This fact does not please Eliezer, but it gives Joseph Cedar ample fodder for both dramatic and comic angst.
The winner of the Palme d'Or for screenplay at last May's Cannes Film Festival, "Footnote" is polished, funny and very Jewish, which puts it in good stead with the category's general committee. ("You can't be too Jewish for the Academy," said one member in assessing the chances of the Coen brothers' "A Serious Man," which scored a Best Picture nomination two years ago.) The film doesn't feel as weighty as other recent Israeli submissions – which include "Ajami," "Waltz With Bashir" and "The Band's Visit" – but its tale of spats between unyielding, esoteric scholars is an unlikely crowd-pleaser of sorts.
Poland: "In Darkness"
Director: Agnieszka Holland
Being about World War II and the Holocaust is no longer a free pass to a nomination (and maybe it never was), but it can't hurt. And Holland, an Oscar nominee for her screenplay to "Europa Europa" 21 years ago, finds a novel way to approach that conflict: her film, which will receive a stateside release via Sony Classics, tells the true story of a small-time thief who against his better judgment winds up hiding more than a dozen Jews in the sewers of the Nazi-occupied Polish city of Lvov during the war.
The film is somber, large in scale and slowly paced, with a distinctly reluctant hero. Holland takes her time telling the story, which helps build the palpable sense of claustrophobia and oppression as months go by for those trapped just below enemies who would ship them to the camps if they knew of their existence.
There's a pretty good chance that four of the films I've seen so far will make the shortlist, and a couple of them will receive nominations. But of them all, I would say that this is the surest bet. I'd be astonished if it doesn't make the shortlist, and surprised if it doesn't get a nomination.
Taiwan: "Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale"
Director: Wei Te-Sheng
This was the last entry I watched, mostly because I couldn't bring myself to put in a four-and-a-half hour screener. Late last week, though, a committee member told me that voters, who were themselves dreading a Saturday morning marathon screening, were startled to discover that the film was strong and exciting. He was right: This telling of the story of the Wushe Incident, in which native Taiwanese rebelled against repressive Japanese rule, is a powerful and visceral experience, an old-school action epic that remains consistently involving through 276 minutes of battles and beheadings.
The film – which, in fact, is two separate films that can be shown together in the manner of "Che" or "Carlos" – is produced by John Woo, who obviously knows how to stage involving large-scale action sequences. It's also a brutal action film with a heart, and with a compelling lead performance by Lin Ching-Tai as the tribal chieftain who can no longer submit to the abuses of colonial rule, and leads an uprising he knows is likely suicidal.

According to RBI guidelines, bank loans are priced above the benchmark rate, which is the 'base rate'. In the case of HFCs, the benchmark is their prime lending rate. However, HFCs face no restrictions on lending below their prime lending rates. As a result when rates change, banks have less freedom to re-price loans selectively compared to HFCs, which can vary the spreads over or below the benchmark to any extent.
"I don't think there should be any regulatory arbitrage (between banks and HFCs). Regulatory arbitrage always makes for an uneven-playing field, and in any area that you are operating it is important to have a level-playing field so that the most efficient of them do the best job," said Bhattacharya.
According to her, the regulator had spoken of the difference between cost of funds for banks and HFCs as the reason for the discrepancy. "The regulator says that they also have to get their resources at higher cost compared to what the banks pay. So there are pros and cons for everyone and, therefore, how do you create equity so that everyone has a level-playing field? It is difficult to opine on this," she said.
Explaining her earlier demand for more flexibility in home loans, Bhattacharya said that the bank was not seeking introduction of teaser loans. Rather, it was keen on introducing step-up loans where EMIs rise after initial years. "I believe that there is a place for this. When people take a loan, they go right up to the top. But over time, repayment becomes easier as salaries go up and lifestyle changes to adjust to the instalments, and within two or three years the EMI does not hurt as much as it did in the initial years. Therefore, a variable EMI is something that makes repayment easier," she said.
She added that there are also some borrowers who do not immediately shift into the house and have an additional burden of rental in the initial two-three years. "There are difficulties in the first two-three years, which we feel if there is a step-up EMI, then that definitely addresses stretched budgeting for first-time home loan borrowers," she said. On a proposal by the National Housing Bank to reintroduce prepayment charges on floating rate loans if loans are prepaid in the first two years, Bhattacharya said, "In case of floating rate loans, The loans are anyway floating downwards. In that case, is there any case for a prepayment penalty? We have not put our mind to it."

Florida Tax Fraud Lawyers
Individuals and businesses in the United States are required by law to pay federal and state income taxes. Businesses are also required to pay payroll and sales taxes based upon the business structure. Those who engage in willful or intentional fraudulent behavior to avoid paying required taxes may be charged with a federal crime.
The consequences of a tax fraud conviction can include large fines and penalties; assessment of back taxes and jail time. A tax fraud lawyer can provide invaluable advice in responding to a tax fraud accusation. Podhurst Orseck represents individuals, businesses and other professionals accused of crimes related to tax fraud.
Tax Fraud is a Federal Crime
A violation of federal tax laws is always prosecuted as a federal crime in the federal court system. Since the tax code in the United States is quite complex, understanding tax crimes requires a detailed knowledge of tax and criminal laws and procedures.
Podhurst Orseck represents clients charged with tax evasion and related fraud crimes. Our firm has been providing white collar criminal defense assistance to clients since our founding nearly 50 years ago. Our legal team has been nationally recognized for its legal advocacy and our firm members have a background as federal prosecutors. Understanding tax evasion or fraud cases from the perspective of both prosecutor and defendant is invaluable in responding to tax investigations and defending charges of tax code violations.
Avoiding Tax Fraud Penalties
Because of the inherent complexities of the tax code, many individuals and businesses make mistakes without the intent to commit tax fraud or tax crimes. The courts treat individuals who do not engage in intentional tax evasion differently than those who willfully violate the law. However, anyone who fails to report or significantly underreports income can be charged with tax fraud or related tax crimes.
Individuals and businesses can also be charged with tax fraud for other illegal acts including failure to file income taxes and/or making false claims regarding deductions. The penalties for tax fraud conviction typically include repayment of back taxes along with fines, fees and other penalties. Individuals convicted of serious violations may be sentenced to jail time and forfeiture of assets, among other consequences.
Podhurst Orseck assists clients in defending against allegations of tax evasion and fraud, negotiating repayment agreements or entering into an agreement to pay the lowest possible penalties and costs associated with resolving the tax litigation.

Refugees with a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds from Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, walked miles in freezing weather before they travelled on to Western Europe via bus or rickety train from Presevo, Serbia. They escaped their own countries in conflict, took a perilous boat ride from Turkey to Greece, then they continued through disorienting foreign lands in search of peace.

John McKinlay Award Statement
John McKinlay is an internationally prominent medical sociologist who has made landmark contributions not only to medical sociology but also to public health, gerontology, sexual medicine, psychology, epidemiology, medical training, clinical decision making, and health policy. He is a prolific scholar who has authored, co-authored or edited more than 250 professional papers and 17 books, and an intellectual giant with over three decades of seminal articles in public health and clinical health care.
McKinlay's research has been conducted both within and outside the academy.He is founding director of the widely recognized social science and public health research institution, New England Research Institute, now in its 21st year.Prior to NERI, McKinlay was a distinguished academic and administrator at Boston University, holding simultaneous professorships in Medicine, Biostatistics and Epidemiology, and Sociology, and directing BU's Center for Health and Advanced Policy Studies and its Gerontology Institute.He has been associated with Harvard Medical School's Division of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital for 25 years.
His research has made major impacts in the real world.For instance, his research and dissemination efforts led to a critical change in the teaching and practice of medicine.Until the 1990's most medical textbooks framed discussion of heart disease as a male problem, despite cardiovascular disease's being the leading cause of death for women in the United States.In a series of studies spanning two decades, John McKinlay and collaborators documented the professional and organizational bias in graduate school norms, type of treatment offered, and technology applied that cumulatively resulted in disadvantages for women in cardiovascular diagnosis, treatment and outcomes.Large scale medical studies replicated these findings; but McKinlay's work is partly, if not largely, responsible for changes which occurred in training and practice.Today's medical textbooks no longer reify a gender difference in heart health.
John McKinlay's career in sociology and its practice began in his native New Zealand with studies of heart disease among Maoris and the health consequences of migration by Polynesian Tokelau Islanders.At Aberdeen University, Scotland, he pursued questions of perinatal mortality and health care use by very low-income families.Since 1973, he has collaborated on studies of menopause, culminating in the highly regarded Massachusetts Women's Health Study.His own longitudinal Massachusetts Male Aging Study continues to make pioneering contributions in such fields as endocrinology, urology, cardiovascular disease, geriatrics, and behavioral medicine.He has collected the first wave of an epidemiologic laboratory in the Boston inner-city area involving a large random sample followed over time (the Boston Area Community Health Survey).This BACH Study is designed to investigate a range of urologic symptoms in men and women of diverse race and ethnicity.With colleagues at Boston Medical Center, he has begun one of the first large epidemiology studies of osteoporosis in a racial and ethnically diverse population of aging men (called BACH BONE).He is continuing over 15 years of work on a video series of vignette factorial experiments that included the NERI gender studies.
Central to John McKinlay's winning this award is his application of sociological knowledge wherever he does research.He not only imparts new insights into medical sociology as with his work on professions and the proletarianization of medicine; but he also uses sociology to identify gaps in literature, frame new research questions, and convince others of the importance of his ideas in areas others may view as entirely unrelated to sociology.At NERI, he trains public health and biostatistics professionals to consider sociological theory and methods in their work and to talk intelligently about sociological concepts. In presentations and collaborations, he teaches colleagues in other disciplines to think sociologically.In fact, his literal practice of sociology has helped change epidemiological approaches while simultaneously nurturing sociologically-receptive audiences where none existed previously.
We recognize John B. McKinlay for these numerous outstanding contributions with the 2008 American Sociological Association Distinguished Career Award for the Practice of Sociology.

I have been away from my garden for two weeks. My brother offered to do some maintenance for us while we were gone. He harvested the potatoes and the onions and put them to up to store. Even with a visitor taking care of our garden, there was still an incredible loss.
The Bad
First the bad news. ALL of my yellow squash and zucchini plants died. :-(
They look as if they simply were not watered.
Also lost but not pictured was a cucumber vine and all of our Snap Pea bushes. ;-(
If you look at the picture above, you will see the one and only zucchini
that grew but never made it.
I suppose I was arrogant to think that I would be enjoying zucchini in abundance this year.
The broccoli was also not maintained and ended up bolting.
This is only our second year gardening so next year, a watering timer is in order.
The Good
and a bit of the good news....
I for one was surprised to see a bell pepper harvested.
There were tons of onions, it was a good year for onions
We were not quite so happy with the potato harvest.
We yielded much more last year when we just plopped the plants
in the hard un-tilled ground.
Maybe potatoes do not like to be babied with that rich awesome soil
we have in the raised beds?
My hubs told me that the mellons would hang off the back
and drop when ripe, but I just thought that would be way too heavy.
Can't possibly be true.
Well lookey here!
More Bell Peppers, leaving these on till they red this time.
Honey Dew Mellons
I returned home to TONS of Jalapeno's.
I suppose I will have to learn how to put these up.
Tomatoes are getting red.
If I time this right, I can get tons of salsa made and put up.
The Ugly...
My brother tells me that a bunny family tried to move in under the pepper plants. Our two cats and the dog each took turns killing them off until they were all gone. My brother tells me that it was an awful mess and was so sad about it. I don't know how to think. It just feels like they should have sensed that it was dangerous in our yard.
I will be linking this post to:

Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover
Today's World-Wide Web isn't what we think it is. Representing only a small percentage of what is 'available' on the internet, a simple search on Google is not enough to see everything that the Web abounds. The darknet is an anonymous encrypted network and constantly evolving. This web base is so deep, it really defines what we call "no mans land." Nothing is traceable, causing several illicit online business profiles to hang around. Some items are so controversial that only the use of ultraviolet light applied to the computer screen reveals their content.
Italian artist Giorgio di Noto takes you on a journey into the dark side of the web in his new book, The Iceberg. When you open it, it does not tell you anything. In front of your eyes, hundreds of very airy pages are spread out, with many spaces, holes, gaps and white pages jumped and dotted with photos here and there, like the Internet, the darknet and the concept of the iceberg. The Iceberg gives an experience similar to an exploration of the darknet. Through these ultraviolet rays, hidden images of amphetamines, doubtful powders, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and other clandestinities are revealed. Who would have thought when you saw this ambiguous title and this classic painting on the cover? Remember, you should never judge a book by its cover.
The Iceberg - Giorgio Di Noto - Edition Patrick Frey from Giorgio Di Noto on Vimeo.
"I started studying darknet because I was interested in it as a way around censorship in some countries." To access the darknet, you need Tor, a free browser that can communicate anonymously. is easy enough to do, then I studied and spent time understanding how to surf the deep Web and find what I was looking for.The first access is very easy, which is a bit more complicated 'go further, because you do not have a standard search engine.
For this project, I focused on black markets and drug representations because I wanted to work with original images created and published only for the darknet by their users, images that no one can see on the Web. It's like an impossible archive of something that exists online just for a moment, that no one wants to archive or save. And in this case, these are images used to advertise drugs.
I was interested in how sellers used visuals and images to represent their products, and more generally, the kind of photos you can find in this anonymous and hidden area. I was particularly interested in the original photos made by the sellers themselves and public domain images (which are printed in black and white in the book); sometimes they are used as a metaphor or visual reference for their product.

The True Power Of Charm – Obama's Killer Smile
Obama's got it. McCain don't got it. Bill Clinton had it. Sarah Palin can't spell it.
It's 2008's special sauce.
If there's one phrase that can truly chart Obama's rise to glory it's charm offensive. He never gets angry, he never gets mad, he always forgives, he's always polite. In about three years time Obama's charm is going to drive us all nuts, but right now, it's the best way as "That One" would describe it, to get things done.
Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but I don't for one minute think that Obama really believes all that bipartisanship BS he keeps spouting. It's great to get you elected, but it's a terrible way to run a country. Any mere mortal, of course, would be sticking it to the GOP right now. The idea that Obama could even bear to be in the same room as McCain after the latter basically accused him of being public enemy number one in about fifty-two different ways during the campaign seems extraordinary. But there they were today in Chicago, sitting side by side in weird tasteless chairs that looked as though they belonged in the Syrian presidential palace. But it was a brilliant move, because Obama's magnanimity forced McCain to play nice and do the new boss' bidding. Obama is the kind of guy who has no compunction about kicking a man when he's down. He does it with a warm enigmatic smile on his face. That hurts.
I have a feeling that Obama's killer smile is going to come in very handy for a very long time. With the Democrats in the ascendancy, it's easy to reach out the hand of friendship to the other side. Obama knows that the kneejerk knuckledraggers who run the GOP these days will turn down the new President's overtures. And Obama will accept the snub at face value and freeze them out. Hey, they had their chance, he'll say. And he'll be right. All he needs are the two ladies of Maine, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, and he can break any filibuster. And he'll charm them too.
Take the decision not to punish Lieberman. Think about it. Sure it was a Senate call, but the hand of Obama is clearly on the decision. And now, well he owns Lieberman. This is a classic case of forgiveness as weapon.
Obama's charm will also play very well in foreign policy. The Europeans are already enamored of his intelligence, and the Arabs will buckle at the knees when the boy called Hussein takes tea in their tents. But when Obama makes overtures of peace, he'll be cutting off the Arabs at the knees. Iran in particular wants respect, and if it takes the bait which I'm sure it will, then it will be forced to talk peace, which will devastate Ahmadinejad's and the Mullah's popular power base.
There's only one place the weapon won't work. Moscow. He'll have to try another tack there.

BOSTON (CBS) — It could be a dangerous game, someone pointing green laser lights at aircraft.
It happened twice in the northeast Tuesday night, the FAA reporting someone pointed at a Delta flight heading out of Logan airport about 8:30 p.m. Fifteen minutes later, a Jetblue flight heading into Logan airport, and flying just north of Providence, also reported a laser strike. Flight instructor Dave Bashy says even seconds can be overwhelming.
"Much of the flying we teach is based on visual references to outside on the horizon. If you lose that it could disorient you briefly," he said.
Newton police say one of the strikes was traced to Forte Park off California Street. They searched the area but found nothing. Just a few hours earlier in a neighborhood about four miles from the park, police say a driver claimed someone pointed a laser at him.
"He noticed a person standing on the street. The person was holding something that emitted a green laser type of light shining it at his face and eyes. He says it was dazzling to his eyes," said Newton police Lt. Bruce Apotheker.
Police say the driver described the man as being Hispanic in his early twenties and wearing an orange jacket. They are urging anyone with information to contact police.

Facility managers of healthcare facilities face several challenges when it comes to fire protection:
- Finding qualified vendors that can work on all of their fire protection equipment
- Documentation – The Joint Commission
- Response Time
Expertise. Health care facilities often have a multitude of complex fire protection systems under one roof. Finding a vendor with the technical expertise to work on all of these systems can be challenging. That is why AFP has technicians that are trained to work on a variety of different fire protection systems including fire alarm, fire sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, and special hazard fire protection (clean agent, kitchen suppression). Facilities managers only have to make one call for all of their fire protection needs eliminating the need for multiple service companies.
Documentation. AFP understands that obtaining and maintaining the Joint Commission accreditation is very important and can be a difficult and challenging task. That is why have created customized inspection reports to meet the documentation requirements outlined in EC.02.03.05. Additionally, all work history, inspection dates, inspection reports, invoices and other information is stored in our customer extranet so clients can have easy access to their information whenever they need it. Our customer service teams work in tandem with our CRM (customer resource management) system to ensure that you never miss an inspection interval.
Response Time. If an issue arises, a timely response is absolutely necessary. With five locations in New York and New Jersey and technicians on call 24/7, AFP has the resources to respond to an emergency or service issue in a timely manner.

The Legal Consequences of Drunk-driving
Nobody can dispute the fact that alcohol makes people become less able to react immediately to dangerous situations which could harm them or someone else. Where driving is the issue, federal and state road safety authorities have always pointed out the clear dangers associated with driving while intoxicated with alcohol, and substantiates their declaration with statistical data.
Drunk-driving is one major problem in US roads and highways which has always caused worry to both government and private organizations. This is because it increases the risk of accidents which can injure or kill not only the drunk driver but innocent people as well. Records from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show more than 10,000 fatal car crashes due to driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) every year; in 2012 alone, 10,322 individuals were killed in alcohol-impaired driving accidents.
Due to the injuries and property damages that it can cause, drunk-driving has, therefore, been made a serious traffic violation that is meted out with harsh punishments, which can include a large fine, imprisonment, mandatory attendance in a DUI school, suspension of driving privileges, and community service. If the accident causes injury or death though or if the drunk driver is found guilty of repetitive violations then he/she will face more severe punishments, like having an ignition interlock device (IID) installed in his/her vehicle, a requirement to acquire an SR-22 form or revocation of his/her license, besides those already mentioned earlier.
The current blood alcohol concentration limit (BAC) set for drivers in all US states is 0.08%; for commercial drivers, however, the limit is 0.04%, while for those 21 years old or below, there is a zero tolerance rule. This means that anyone caught driving with a BAC level set at the limit or higher will be charged with a DUI or DWI misdemeanor or felony offense.
As pointed out by Tuscon personal injury lawyers on their website, car accidents can very well result to serious and long-lasting physical and emotional repercussions for injured victims and their families. Because of this, DUI accidents need to be taken into serious consideration as it can impact each person involved in a wide number of factors.

Pueblo's big weekend of football, high school and college
Pueblo's big football weekend is worth a toast over the Southern Colorado city's best-known cuisine — a Slopper, which for the unitiated is the local version of a Mexican hamburger.
CSU-Pueblo, the fifth-year Division II program, gets another crack in the national playoffs Saturday, playing host in the round of 16 to the University of Indianapolis at noon at the Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl adjacent to the campus on the north side of town. Indianapolis, with an enrollment of about 5,600, is a Methodist school and was known as Indiana Central until 1986.
A win Saturday over the Greyhounds "would mean a lot," said CSU-Pueblo coach John Wristen. "One of the reasons we want to bring (football) back was to tie this community together. I hate to say it, but this great game of football can do that. It's brought people out, competing at tailgates, it's brought people out to treat this as a big-time atmosphere."
Also at 1 p.m. Saturday, two Pueblo high schools will be in action in state playoff semifinal games. In Class 3A, Pueblo East (10-2, No. 5 seed) will meet Rifle (12-0, No. 1) at Pueblo's Dutch Clark Stadium. In Class 4A, Pueblo West (12-0, No. 1) will face Monarch (11-1, No. 5) at Centaurus High School in Lafayette.
Wristen said he regretted that the Pueblo East game couldn't have been switched to Friday night to avoid a conflict and to allow fans to attend both games. But that decision by the Colorado High School Activities Association makes sense, given that East's opponent and its fans from Rifle will be making a nearly 300-mile drive to Pueblo.
If CSU-Pueblo wins Saturday, it will play host to a Dec. 1 quarterfinal, so that also might conflict with Pueblo West and/or Pueblo East appearances in state championship games, but neither would be in Pueblo. The 3A game is set for Legacy Stadium at Cherokee Trail High School in Aurora, while the 4A game is set for Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
I'll have a setup feature on the ThunderWolves in the Friday paper and online. (UPDATE: It's here.) I've done several major stories in the ThunderWolves and the startup program in the past few years, including pieces on two of Wristen's current assistants, former CU quarterback Bernard Jackson and ex-Broncos running back/receiver Steve Sewell. In fact, Sewell also is featured in the piece I wrote this week about what happened to the Broncos in Kansas City in what turned out to be Super Bowl seasons. It ended up running as a blog and is available here.

The announcement Thursday that PricewaterhouseCoopers will open a legal services office in Washington, D.C., should put U.S. law firms on notice that the major accounting firms are on the march.
The opening of PwC's affiliate, ILC Legal LLP, gives the accounting giant a new foothold in the U.S. legal market and signals potentially heightened competition with the Big Four accounting firms, which have the geographical reach, numbers and array of integrated services that make them attractive to clients.
Jeffrey Lowe, global practice leader of Major, Lindsey & Africa LLC's law firm practice group, noted that ILC's small team of attorneys all come from other PwC member firms and said it remained to be seen whether the opening of ILC Legal signaled a dramatic strategic shift or merely internal PwC restructuring.
"I'd like to see what happens next and whether or not they start adding people to this law firm at a fast clip, or whether this was a housekeeping matter and nothing to be concerned about," he said.

The New Kid on the Block
- Suddenly a new kid has moved into the neighborhood, and his daddy has given him lots of shiny and expensive military toys to play with.
(Washington Free Beacon) - China is developing a nuclear-armed air-launched cruise missile as part of a military buildup of both its regional and long-range nuclear forces, according to a forthcoming congressional commission report.
The latest publicly available draft of the annual report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission presents a dire picture of advancing Chinese military capabilities and declining relations with the United States.
"U.S.-China security relations continued to deteriorate in 2015," the report concludes. "China's aggressive behavior in the South China Sea and its unremitting cyber espionage against the United States were the key drivers of growing distrust."
The military buildup of high-tech weapons "makes clear that China seeks the capability to limit the U.S. military's freedom of movement in the Western Pacific," the report says.
On the regional nuclear buildup, the report says "China appears to be pursuing a theater nuclear capability in addition to the strategic nuclear capability it has maintained since it became a nuclear state in the 1960s."
The growth in regional nuclear forces poses new dangers for a future conflict in the increasingly volatile Asia Pacific region, a zone where China added to destabilization through disputed maritime claims while seeking to drive U.S. forces out of the region.
"In a conflict, China's maturing theater nuclear capability could provide it with the means to flexibly employ nuclear weapons to deescalate or otherwise shape the direction of conflict," the report said.
China's high-technology military buildup also includes an array of space weaponry that indicates Beijing is preparing for space warfare against U.S. satellites in a future conflict, according to the report.
A copy of the draft report was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon from the commission staff. The final report could change from the draft and will be released formally next month, a spokesman said.
The report said that in the three years since coming to power, Chinese supreme leaders Xi Jinping made significant progress in consolidating power, including a purge in the military ostensibly aimed at countering corruption that also is part of police power consolidation.
China's space weaponry includes two types of anti-satellite missiles for attacking low-earth and high-earth orbit, small orbiting attack satellites, electronic jammers, lasers, and cyber weapons capable of taking control of satellites.
"As China's developmental counterspace capabilities become operational, China will be able to hold at risk U.S. national security satellites in every orbital regime," the report states.
China's recent military parade marking the 70th anniversary of end of World War II included several new missiles, including the DF-26 intermediate-range missile that can be armed with both nuclear and conventional warheads.
"The parade highlighted the pace and sophistication of China's missile modernization, and signaled to the world China's seriousness about enhancing both its nuclear and conventional missile capabilities and its ability to hold adversary forces at greater distance and greater risk," the report says.
Regarding the new cruise missile, the report states that China's military is likely developing a nuclear-armed, air-launched cruise missile called the CJ-20 that will be outfitted on H-6 bombers, each of which can carry six of the missiles.
The missile sharply increases the range of its missile forces to include the U.S. island of Guam, a major military hub.
"A nuclear-capable CJ-20 would indicate China is developing new, air-delivered theater nuclear strike capabilities, in addition to its formidable ballistic missile theater nuclear forces and the strategic nuclear strike capability it has maintained since it became a nuclear state," the report said.
The missile also could be deployed on Chinese ships and submarines allowing it to target U.S. military facilities in Guam, Hawaii, and Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean.
China's anti-ship cruise missile forces also have "advanced significantly," the report said.
"Because there are doubts regarding whether U.S. Navy shipboard systems could reliably and adequately defend against intense salvos of China's advanced Russian-made and indigenous [anti-ship cruise missiles], China's advancing ASCM technologies are reason for concern," the report states.Read More . . . .

SLA-ST and SLA-ENG call for papers
The Science and Technology Division and the Engineering Division are making a joint call for papers for the contributed papers sessions for the SLA annual conference in Baltimore in 2006.
The theme is "Open Access and Institutional Repositories in Sci-Tech and Engineering Libraries". Send submissions to Roger Beckman before October 31. See the extended entry for all the details.
Science and Technology Division
Engineering Division
Special Libraries Association Annual Conference June 2006, Baltimore, MD, USA
The SLA Science & Technology Division and the Engineering Division invites submissions for its Contributed Papers Session at the Annual SLA Conference in Baltimore, Maryland June 11-14, 2006.
SESSION THEME: Open Access and Institutional Repositories in Sci- ech and Engineering Libraries
Open access to scientific research is often in the news and on listserv communications these days. The topics cover everything from a British plan to build the country's most comprehensive online repository of medical knowledge to the NIH's PubChem project. We invite papers to explore the many facets of the open access debate.
Some possible questions include:
– Will institutional repositories and technical databases in Sci-Tech and Engineering libraries have an impact on the serials crisis? What issues have you encountered in building such resources?
– Is open access beginning to influence your collection decisions, e.g., deciding to forgo a current subscription because waiting out the embargo period is tolerable to your users? What are the implications if libraries don't buy or subscribe to journals and rely on access via open access archives?
– How aware is the scholarly community of open access issues? Are they ahead of the librarians on these issues? Are there unintended consequences of open access for smaller scientific organizations? Can your patrons differentiate between the various flavors of open access journals?
– Do tenured and untenured faculty respond differently to publishing in open access journals?
– What are you doing to publicize open access journals? How do you communicate to your patrons what open access is all about and the issues in the debate? Do you put some/many/all of the open access titles in your online catalog?
– Do corporate libraries market/advertise/link to open access journals any differently than academic libraries?
We are looking for papers that explore this theme from a theoretical as well as a practical aspect.
ELIGIBILITY: Any SLA member is welcome to submit an abstract for consideration. Preference will be given to members of the Science & Technology Division and the Engineering Division.
CRITERIA: Criteria for review will include relevance to the session theme and evidence of scholarship and methodology.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS: October 31, 2005.
ABSTRACT: A 300-500 word abstract should accurately convey the subject of the paper, its scope, conclusions, and relevance to the program theme.
PAPERS: If chosen, acceptance of your paper reflects a commitment on your part to: 1) submit the complete text of your paper to the program convener by March 31, 2006.
2) give a presentation of your paper for no longer than 20 minutes at the SLA annual conference June 11-14, 2006 in Baltimore, Maryland.
3) where appropriate and feasible, offer a brief demonstration or representation of your project during your presentation.

Undescended Testes
Pronounced: "kript-or-kid-ISM"
by Cynthia M. Johnson, MA
A child's testicles develop before birth. They start inside the abdomen. The testicles should then move down into the scrotum just before birth. Undescended testes stay in or return to the abdomen. A true undescended testicles situation is present at birth. The testicle remains in the abdomen until treated. Other situations that allow the testicles to go up into the abdomen include:
Undescended testicles are often caused by a disruption in the development of the testicles. The cause of this disruption is not clear. Genetics may play a role. There may also be some problems with the hormones that help testes develop. The testicles may also have been injured at some point during the pregnancy.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your child's chance of undescended testicles include:
The main symptom is not being able to see or feel the testicle.
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A diagnosis is usually made during the physical exam. The doctor will note that one or both of the child's testes cannot be felt within the scrotum.
Your child's bodily structures may need to be viewed. This can be done with ultrasound or laparoscopy.
Undescended testicles are treated because they may increase the risk of certain health conditions such as:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment options include:
There are no current guidelines to prevent undescended testes.
