District celebrates completed Saxe building project
NEW CANAAN — Superintendent Bryan Luizzi kicked off the grand celebration of the Saxe Middle School building project by asking the visitors sitting in the newly-renovated auditorium to take a deep breath.
"That's new auditorium smell," he said in front of dozens of parents, students, faculty and officials who came to see the changes to the school. "This is a place that is going to be very well used in the years ahead. That smell will dissipate quickly."
It was the first time in years the auditorium boasted that new-smell scent, having not been renovated since it was built in 1957. Luizzi said the smell would be replaced by memories and laughter from the performances to come. The renovated space opened in mid-October and already seated around 1,800 people for the middle school's three performances of "Aladdin Jr."
The revamped auditorium, with new acoustics, new lighting and refurbished seats, is one of several recent changes to the middle school that visitors got to see during the Dec. 5 tour. Also open to the public was the new two-story wing of the school, now home to STEM, art and science classrooms. The space where those classrooms used to be was also reconfigured, allowing for expanded music rooms.
The addition and renovations are the first major changes to the school since 1999 and will allow the school to accommodate its student body, one of the largest of any middle school in the state. The current school population is around 1,350 students, and has hovered between 1,200 and 1,400 students since 2000, according to Saxe Middle School Principal Greg Macedo.
Steve Burgess, one of the architects on the project and a project manager for it, said his firm, JCJ Architecture, oversaw the school's last addition in 1999 and has enjoyed seeing the school evolve. He said the firm used a theater consultant from New York City, where JCJ is based, to help install top-of-the-line lighting and acoustics.
"This is a grade-A auditorium," Burgess said. "We were here in 1999 and did that renovation and addition. This completed the whole thing. We're lucky to have been chosen."
Student musicians showed off the fine acoustics in the auditorium by playing a selection of numbers. An eighth-grade saxophone ensemble did some seasonal selections, including "Frosty the Snowman" and "Jingle Bell Rock" while a clarinet ensemble played the "Clarinet Cha-Cha." A group of eighth-grade choral singers also performed a holiday number while clad in Santa hats.
Chris Culter, a band director who led the saxophone ensemble, said there's already a noticeable difference in the sound in the redesigned auditorium and band rooms.
"It's a beautiful, live, clear sound," he said. "It was excellent for us to play."
Macedo said expanding the art and music rooms was a crucial part of the project since every student in the school is required to take art and music.
The improved music rooms, which opened to students the week before Thanksgiving, are where the art rooms now in the new wing of Saxe were once located. The creation of the wing allowed the music classrooms to expand to fit the growing number of students, each of whom is required to take band, chorus or orchestra. The old music classrooms are now practice and music technology rooms, while many of the former art classrooms have been enlarged. The band room, the largest of them all, went from 1,200- to 2,000-square-feet of space. It can now accommodate 150 students.
While improvements were ongoing, students shuffled back and forth between the spaces — using the old music rooms while the auditorium was renovated and then practicing in the auditorium during the expansion of the music rooms.
According to Saxe Building Committee Chair Penny Rashin, the project, which was three years in the making, was completed both on time and on budget. The final cost of the project was about $18.6 million.
"It's been a tremendous project," Rashin said. "It's a great thing watching students and teachers use the new space."

A race to get gated: Does living in a gated development really cut down on crime?
Thousands of demonstrators in New York sing the words, "We are all one," while raising their fingers and images of teen Trayvon Martin who was shot dead by a neighbourhood watch coordinator in a gated community in Florida
DAUBED "Millionaire's Row" when it was built in the boom years, Abington in Malahide became the Celtic Tiger's most exclusive north Dublin enclave for those who wanted big new abodes as the Irish economy took off on a credit bubble.
This year, many of the residents have been selling up, including the controversial "House of Prayer" founder Christina Gallagher, who has her 7,000 sq ft house at number 2 on the market for €2.7m at the moment. Meanwhile, Yvonne Keating bagged close to €2.45m in recent weeks for the 6,000 sq ft number 50, the home she shared with her husband Ronan.
Abington also hit the headlines recently for a request made by the well-heeled residents, who include Ireland international soccer star Robbie Keane and former Westlife star Nicky Byrne, to restrict access to their estate enclave and go "fully gated".
Many of the luxury mansions at Abington in Malahide have private electronic gates and CCTV, as befits an estate that's home to some of Ireland's best-known personalities, but Abington residents are concerned that existing security measures are not deterring break-ins and other crimes.
They asked Fingal County Council for permission to install 1.5 metre-high gates at the development's entrance, citing "reported incidents of burglary, theft and suspicious activity". The council refused their application last month.
Like Fingal, many local authorities now stipulate in their development plans that planning applications for such suburban fortresses are not welcome because they pose a risk of dividing communities.
A spokeswoman for Dublin City Council said its latest development plan aims to "ensure that gated residential developments will be discouraged and, in most cases, will be prohibited as they negate Dublin City Council's vision of a permeable, connected and linked city that encourages integration".
Communities with electronically-controlled gates, high fences and 24-hour security, once the preserve of expats in developing countries to protect them from high crime rates outside the barricades, are de rigueur in Australia and the US. Even the fictional street of Wisteria Lane on the television show Desperate Housewives was a gated community. In the UK, there are more than 1,000 gated estates, some of which are popular with Premier League footballers, celebrities and billionaires.
Despite Irish planners' general distaste for suburban gated communities, they have not dented some home buyers' appetite for what they perceive as the privilege of living untroubled by crime or antisocial behaviour.
Therese Kenna, a geography lecturer at University College Cork, who has researched the phenomenon in both Ireland and Australia, says: "Whether it's about crowds of young people gathering in your estate, cars being robbed or people on drugs, it's natural for homeowners to want to protect themselves and assets."
However, research indicates that the desire to live in a gated community "is not just about high levels of security", Kenna said. "It's about losing faith in the government to provide the kind of infrastructure they want. They often don't feel the state or the government are doing their job, whether it be landscaping or something more significant like policing. People feel they are not being looked after, so if they have the ability, they'll pay someone else to do it."
Indeed, families in the Carrickmines Wood estate in the upmarket Dublin neighbourhood of Foxrock hired a private security firm after a spate of burglaries in 2012 where thieves used jammers to disable alarm systems and phones. Residents of the development, where Ireland's first IR£1m homes were sold back in 1999, opted for a private firm after a public meeting attended by local gardai.
Many of Ireland's gated enclaves were built in the 1990s and early noughties as the property boom escalated. For instance, Millers Weir, a gated development of ten five-bedroom homes on the banks of the River Liffey in Athgarvan, Co Kildare, was built 14 years ago. One of the properties sold in June for €577,000.
Even David Norris, the senator and erstwhile presidential candidate, harboured ultimately unsuccessful ambitions in 2000 to close off part of his north Dublin street. Norris, who co-founded the North Great Georges Street Preservation Society, and his neighbours drew up a plan to close the lower end of the street to traffic by installing decorative wrought-iron gates.
Kieran Rose, a senior planner at Dublin City Council, said gated developments outside the inner city were granted planning permission in the 1990s before development plans sought to clamp down on them.
"I was involved in a number of planning applications and these developments create all sorts of problems," he said. "If you have a delivery or a car is visiting, those people are kept waiting out in the public area. There are cases where local pedestrians don't have access, preventing easy integration with the community."
Kenna argues that by passing a piece of legislation called the Multi-Units Development Act in 2011, which obliged developers to pass ownership of common areas to the owners' management company, the state may have given residents greater power to restrict public access.
"It allowed private ownership of residential common areas, and once they own those areas, they can do what they want," she said.
Rose, for his part, hopes Dublin City Council's policy on limiting gating will ensure that the capital never has to face the "appalling vista" of "countries in the developing world where armed security men" patrol wealthy neighbourhoods that have "corralled themselves" away from poorer communities.
Mexico has the world's largest population of gated community dwellers, where the gap between the rich and the poor made it necessary for the wealthy to gate themselves in.
In post-segregation South Africa, the property market responded to rising rates of violent crime by developing security villages, some of which have their own hospitals, schools and shopping centres. The most high-profile of these is the Silver Woods Country Estate, the 90-acre enclosed neighbourhood where Paralympic athlete, Oscar Pistorius, shot dead girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
While many sociologists bemoan the growing popularity of gated communities because they are exclusionary and elitist, others say they just don't prevent crime. Some research suggests that gated estates lull their residents into a false sense of security, with studies on such developments in suburban America finding they have no less crime than similar non-gated neighbourhoods.
One commentary in the New York Times even blamed gated communities for contributing to the death in 2012 of Trayvon Martin in Florida. The black 17-year-old had been visiting his father's fiance at The Retreat at Twin Lakes when he was shot dead by neighbourhood watch coordinator George Zimmerman. A New York Times column opined that "gated communities churn a vicious cycle by attracting like-minded residents who seek shelter from outsiders and whose physical seclusion then worsens paranoid group thinking against outsiders".
There had been eight burglaries, nine thefts and one shooting at The Retreat in the year before Martin's death. The enclave's residents said there were dozens of reports of attempted break-ins, which had created an atmosphere of fear in their neighbourhood.
Local authorities in Ireland "are right to be concerned about segregation, dividing the rich from the poor," Kenna said. "In reality, it doesn't necessarily work because it can create even more fear."
"Once they become private and have their own security, gated communities are assumed to be looking after themselves, thereby risking alienating themselves from public services like the police."

Tangerine Flicker Dress size 6 - by Tracy Reese - $358 - Sept 2011
|Tangerine Flicker Dress Size 6 - by Tracy Reese - Anthro $358 - Sept 2011
Styled with
Honor Guard Booties - by Messeca - Anthro $168 - Dec 2010
This dress topped my Wish List to try at the 3rd St Promenade Anthro. I lucked out. The store had only 2 dresses. Both in my size.
|Dress #1 in Size 6 would not zip.
SIZE: TTS. Size 6. I'm 5'5" Tall, 130 lbs, 34C, 35-28-36, Narrow Shoulders. Short arms. I normally wear a 6 or Small in Dresses.
|Tangerine Flicker Dress Size 6 - by Tracy Reese - Anthro $358 - Sept 2011
Styled with
Honor Guard Booties - by Messeca - Anthro $168 - Dec 2010
FIT: Dress #1 did not zip all the way. Dress #2 did. Neither dress had tight sleeves. Probably because I have narrow shoulders. My bra strap didn't show at the back. If it had, I would have layered Anthro's Seamless Reversible Tank in Ivory with the V neck to the back. Length is just above the knee. I struggled with adjusting the slip straps to keep the bodice from pulling. Nothing helped. I knew what would.
ISSUES: Why attach the slip to the bodice? According to the reviews, potential buyers left the dress behind because of this flaw. One reviewer paid a seamstress to fix the issue. When I arrived home I simply snipped the threads that held the slip straps to the shoulders, and under the arms. That completely freed everything up. No more pulling at the shoulders. I don't recommend doing this unless you know how to re-attach. I can't guarantee this simple fix is the right solution for everyone.
|The White you see is camera flash reflecting off the lining under the dress
FABRIC: The shell is sheer, non-stretch, 100% Silk. Not as delicate as you may think. I found no pulls on either dress. Embroidered candle flames on the bodice and hemline are an iridescent Neutral shade. Dots at the sleeve ends are soft and appliqued to the Silk. Lining is Nude acetate. Crinoline is attached 1/2 way up the front of the lining. Rows of embroidery around the hem add weight to hold the lining down to prevent pouf.
This dress needed ironing to give it a smooth appearance. I also ironed the slip underneath. Once ironed, it needs only minimal touch up.
Note: I would happily pay $100 less for acetate, than pay for Silk Lining no one sees. Acetate also glides easily over tights so your skirt won't ride up.
Fully Recommended. One Star off for slip design. It's likely the sleeve issue is attributed to wide shoulders. My arms are by no means small, but my shoulders are narrow.

Try all dresses in your size. Also size up and down. Order two dresses from online where stock is abundant. The sizing may be intentionally inconsistent to accommodate different body shapes for non-stretch fabric. Style with Gray, Gold and Neutrals.

I'm back from my pine needle filled vacation! Though I'm glad I took some time off I felt a little like James T. Kirk struggling against an alien energy force "must… write… blog… must… not… hike… any…more… through… forest". So I'm glad I'm back!
While preparing for the trip I had day dreams of finding God in the wilderness — far far away from the people packed suburbs. We were heading to the Stanislaus National Forest where Bigfoot has been sighted so there was also a possibility of finding God and Sasquatch. The imagined scenario went something like this: sitting peacefully on an ancient granite rock with Sequoia's surrounding me in piney bliss, breathing in the crisp air I meditate on the wonders of nature and God. Maybe a little bird, squirrel or (Sasquatch) comes by and says hello. Eventually I am enlightened with peace, calm, light and joy.(sigh…)
The real scenario during our day hike went more like this: (kid 1) "MOMMY I need MILKY! MOMMY pick me up! Pick me up! (kid 2) How many more days until we can go back home? Can I play my D.S. when we get to the car?" (kid 3) I got SAP on my hand! OMG it won't come off! Help me! (husband– in deep woodsman voice) You must learn to enjoy having sap on your hand! This is the forest! Sap is liquid gold! (kid 3) But my fingers are stuck together I'm losing the use of my hand! (husband) If you can hike another mile maybe I will clean it off. (me – yelling) Be quiet! Listen to the forest! Be calm! Be peaceful! Is it almost 5:00?!!!!
By the time we got back to the car I was determined to find peace at least in the forest parking lot. I put the kids in the car with the air on and a movie (don't judge) while my husband went into "the" diner to get us some coffee. I stayed outside of the car, closed all the doors and finally heard nothing. This is impossible, I thought. Why do I think I need silence and peace to find God anyway? Maybe it was that quote from Mother Teresa:
The fruit of silence is prayer,
The fruit of prayer is faith,
The fruit of faith is love and
The fruit of love is silence.
Just as I was settling into true contemplation an old pick up truck drove up. Out of an entire empty parking lot he decided to park right next to me — great. I turned to avoid him and noticed my toddler had somehow gotten into the "please be good" chocolates. As I opened the door and began wiping the chocolate off her hands, mouth, legs, eyes and car window I heard a distinct spitting sound and felt a splatter of wetness hit the back of my legs. "What the…?" I turned around and realized I was face to face with Sasquatch. Actually it was just a heavily bearded and disheveled mountain man, foaming at the mouth, but it could have been Sasquatch. Toothbrush in hand he leaned out of his car proudly looking down at the giant puddle of toothpaste pulp with which he had just stained the asphalt and my legs.
"Do you realize you just spit on me?" I managed in a high-pitched squeak of shock. "Oh did I getcha?" he laughed. "I just came out of the wilderness and I'm about to go into that there diner and I didn't want to offend anybody with my stink." And with that, he got out, closed his car door and sauntered across the parking lot, "HEY!" I shouted "I'm offended, I'M OFFENDED!" But he didn't hear me because I shouted it inside my head. I fumed. I can't believe in the middle of the forest with only two cars in this bo-hunk parking lot that some random Sasquatch just spit his toothpaste all over the back of my legs! Who was this guy? Romulus, Remus? Had he been raised by a pack of wolves because he didn't even apologize! No APOLOGY for spewing his gross "I haven't washed in a week" wilderness mouth spit on me? And THEN sauntering (not walking) leisurely strolling away? Expletive! Expletive! Expletive!
Luckily, I had industrial strength baby wipes handy, which I highly recommend to everyone, because you never know when you will need to wipe in desperation. I harkened back to the time I was mauled by a sweaty mess of a gym rat. He had accidentally tackled me just as my husband and I were walking into our fancy 10 year anniversary dinner. The difference is, that day, I was without baby wipes. Needless to say, the acrid smell of gym sweat permeated our small romantic booth.Hmmmm….I pondered……Why do these things happen to me? I just wanted to escape into the wilderness and find God in the forest but, instead, I found toothpaste man. It seems, no matter how much I try to avoid my fellow-man I am eventually and forcibly drenched in humanity — be it with sweat or spit I cannot seem to get away from "us".
I sat back in the car trying to understand what all this was about when it hit me. I didn't need to find God in nature. I could see Him there clearly. God in humanity, however, I was completely ignoring and evidently I was dense enough to need (another) wake up call in the form of toothpaste spittle to remind me to look. I realized that contemplation in silence may bring one closer to God but contemplation amidst the chaos of humanity helps one SEE God. After all His flesh and blood were like ours and He loved us enough to be us. I know now this is my greatest challenge: to love thy neighbor as thyself — even if he spits on you. Maybe it is yours as well?
Love of God, love of neighbor (by Pope Benedict)
'If anyone says, 'I love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen" (1 Jn 4:20). The whole context of the passage quoted from the First Letter of John shows that such love is explicitly demanded. The unbreakable bond between love of God and love of neighbor is emphasized. One is so closely connected to the other that to say that we love God becomes a lie if we are closed to our neighbor or hate him altogether.
Here we see the necessary interplay between love of God and love of neighbor which the First Letter of John speaks of with such insistence. Only if I serve my neighbor can my eyes be opened to what God does for me and how much he loves me. The saints—consider the example of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta—constantly renewed their capacity for love of neighbor from their encounter with the Eucharistic Lord, and conversely this encounter acquired its realism and depth in their service to others.
Love of God and love of neighbor are thus inseparable; they form a single commandment. Love grows through love. Love is "divine" because it comes from God and unites us to God; through this unifying process it makes us a "we" which transcends our divisions and makes us one, until in the end God is "all in all" (1 Cor 15:28). via God Is Love: Pope Benedict's First Encyclical in Condensed Form – Catholic Update April©2006.

If you itemize deductions, you can write off donations to charity, including non-cash, "in-kind" contributions. There's no absolute dollar limit on the size of your non-cash deduction. Your total combined cash and non-cash donations for the year are limited by your adjusted gross income, however. You can't claim more in a given year than 50 percent of your AGI, though you can roll over the rest to a later year.
Tax Type
The IRS classifies non-cash donations based on whether selling the item would generate income tax, short-term capital gains or long-term capital gains. In the first two cases, you usually price your donation equal to the purchase price, not current value: A $1,000 antique you bought for $800 is an $800 deduction. With long-term capital gains, your limit is usually 30 percent of your AGI: If you make $90,000 and donate a $40,000 painting, for instance, all you can deduct this year is $27,000.
Fair Market Value
You can never deduct more than the fair market value of whatever you donated. Fair market value is what an interested buyer would pay if she was knowledgeable about the market, whether the market is for cars, jewelry or antiques. With collectibles or cars, you can use price guides to determine the value. Above $5,000, however, you have to pay for an appraisal to justify the value. With some items, such as household furniture or clothes, you need an appraisal if the value exceeds $500.
If you donate inventory from your business, your maximum deduction is the fair market value or the basis, whichever is smaller. Basis is the cost of the inventory. If the inventory is so old you no longer carry the cost on the books, your basis is zero and you get no deduction. Donating food inventory follows a more complicated formula, but can never be more than 10 percent of your net income for the year.
Qualified Conservation Contribution
The IRS applies special rules if you donate land for conservation, whether it's to protect the environment, provide outdoor recreation or preserve a historic building. Usually your deduction is limited to 50 percent of your AGI, after you subtract all your other donations. IRS publication 526 details how to juggle all the figures together -- the 50 percent over-all deduction limit, the conservation limit and several other restrictions -- to determine the most you can claim this year.

Pregnancy begins when an egg and sperm meet and form a single cell. In a normal pregnancy, the fertilized egg attaches to a woman's uterus and starts to grow. In an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants in a fallopian tube or somewhere outside the uterus. In up to 1 in 50 pregnancies, the fertilized egg takes root in the fallopian tube, according to WebMD. Certain risk factors can increase your chances of developing an ectopic pregnancy. Here's a list of risk factors associated with ectopic pregnancies.
1. Fallopian Tube Surgery
If you've had surgery on your fallopian tubes, your risk of an ectopic pregnancy is increased. The type of fallopian tube surgery may involve the correction of various fallopian tube problems or a reverse tubal ligation (surgical sterilization). According to the Cleveland Clinic, the risk of ectopic pregnancy after tubal reverse increases from 1 in 100 pregnancies to 5 in 100 pregnancies.
2. Inflammation/Infection
An inflammation of the fallopian tube is known as salpingitis. According to the Better Health Channel, salpingitis is generally triggered by a bacterial infection, such as a sexually transmitted disease like chlamydia or gonorrhea. An infection of the fallopian tubes, uterus, or ovaries can also increase your risk of ectopic pregnancy.
3. Previous Ectopic Pregnancy
If you have had an ectopic pregnancy in the past, your risk of having another dramatically increases. According to the American Pregnancy Association, the chances of having a successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy are 60 percent if the fallopian tubes have been left in place.
4. Structural Problems
Ectopic pregnancies are more common in women who have unusually shaped fallopian tubes or women who have had their fallopian tubes damaged during an accident or surgery. Even if surgery has been performed to reconstruct the fallopian tubes, the risk of an ectopic pregnancy is still present.
5. Diagnosis of Endometriosis
If you have been diagnosed with endometriosis, your risk of an ectopic pregnancy is increased. This is because endometriosis causes scarring that can affect the fallopian tubes. It is not yet known why women develop this condition, but it is found to be more common in women with fertility problems, according to the Washington University Infertility and Reproductive Medicine Center.
If you are trying to conceive, it's important to know your risks associated with ectopic pregnancy. There are a number of risk factors associated with ectopic pregnancy that can increase your chances of the fertilized egg implanting somewhere other than the uterus. For more information about ectopic pregnancies, contact your obstetrician or gynecologist, one like Bee Ridge Obstetrics Gynecology.Share

Jose Guerena Vindicated: Widow Receives $3.4M Settlement from Arizona Police
On May 5, 2011, at approximately 9:30 a.m., a SWAT team of officers from four local agencies served a search warrant at the home of Jose Guerena near Tucson, Arizona. The subject of the search warrant was drugs. Within seconds of breaking in the front door, the officers shot and killed Jose Guerena, who was apparently holding an AR-15 rifle.
Hearing only these facts, one might believe the officers were justified in killing Guerena, and might expect that Guerena's widow would be unable to recover a dime. Anyone following the case's media coverage -- particularly if one believes the comments from Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik -- might believe the SWAT team was one of the finest in the nation, that the officers made not a single mistake, and that Jose Guerena was a murderous thug, the "enforcer" of a multi-million dollar local drug cartel, and the prime suspect in a double murder.
Instead, Vanessa Guerena's $20 million wrongful death lawsuit against the four police agencies was recently settled for $3.4 million. Even with that extraordinary settlement, the police of Pima County, Marana, Oro Valley, and Sahuarita have been loath to admit fault. Deputy Tracy Suitt of the Pima Couty Sheriff's Department, which will pay $2.35 million of the settlement, wrote:
The Pima County Sheriff's Department strongly believes the events of May 5, 2011, were unfortunate and tragic, but the officers performed that day in accordance with their training and nationally recognized standards.
However, legal advisors and insurers recognize the unpredictable resolution of disputes at trial regarding police conduct and even well-accepted police tactics. As a result, well established business and insurance principles call for compromise and the resolution of disputed cases to mitigate risk and avoid the expense of a trial.
Pima County administrator Chuck Huckleberry maintained the settlement was a "calculated risk management settlement," which was not an admission of wrong-doing. Marana will pay $72,000, Oro Valley will pay $260,000 and Sahuarita will pay $100,000.
With a smaller settlement, perhaps Deputy Suitt's and Administrator Huckleberry's spin might be believable. But a $3.4 million settlement? The police did not want this case anywhere near a jury. And the attorneys for the police were wise indeed: the police made horrendous mistakes before, during, and after the raid, mistakes that caused the death of an innocent man.
I wrote at PJ Media of Jose Guerena two years ago: he was a Marine veteran of two combat tours, and was working 12-hour shifts in a local copper mine to provide for his young family at the time of his killing. On the morning of his death, he had returned from work only a few hours before the police arrived. He ate breakfast, showered, and went to bed. He had no idea that the police had been occasionally -- and incompetently -- watching him and his relatives for some time.
The search warrant affidavit for Guerena's home, vehicles, and the homes and vehicles of three others mentioned no evidence of crime and was devoid of probable cause. The closest the affidavit could come to implicating Jose in a crime was an observation that he was the passenger in a pickup truck in which a roll of plastic wrap in a cardboard box was found. The affidavit also noted that years earlier, Guerena was arrested on drug charges and was once a "person of interest" in a drug-related case investigated by ICE. Deceptively, the affidavit did not tell the judge those charges were dismissed, and that nothing came of the ICE investigation. Amazingly, Detective Tisch, the author of the affidavit, wrote that during his year-long investigation of Guerena the police had not seen any of these supposed big-time drug criminals in possession of drugs. But Tisch asked for a warrant, and Judge Harrington granted it. (Harrington has refused my request to discuss his actions.)
None of the elementary elements of a competent drug investigation were present. There was no information from confidential informants, no photographs, video, or recordings of drug transactions, no controlled buys, no information about drug shipments, methods of sale, packaging, delivery, or, indeed, any specific information about what kinds of drugs, their quantities, and where they might be found.
Drug agents do not routinely serve warrants unless they are certain they'll find substantial quantities of drugs and other evidence of crime, and are ready to make many arrests as high up the chain of a criminal organization as possible. To do otherwise is to ensure that most of the drugs, and most of the criminals at all levels, will simply vanish.
As Jose Guerena slept -- he slept during the day for his night shifts -- the SWAT team pulled up in front of his home. The interior walls of his home were a dark gray, all of the blinds were closed, and all of the lights were off.
Watch here: the 54-second video of the raid recorded by the police is a primer on how not to conduct a SWAT operation.

About the Book
When Eleanor Brice unexpectedly wins the heart of Gregory Desmarais, Crown Prince of Cartheigh, she's sure she's found her happily-ever-after. Unfortunately, Prince Charming has a loose grip on his temper, a looser grip on his marriage vows, and a tight grip on the bottle.
When Eleanor Brice unexpectedly wins the heart of Gregory Desmarais, Crown Prince of Cartheigh, she's sure she's found her happily-ever-after. Unfortunately, Prince Charming has a loose grip on his temper, a looser grip on his marriage vows, and a tight grip on the bottle.
Eight years of mistreatment, isolation and clandestine book learning hardly prepare Eleanor for life at Eclatant Palace, where women are seen, not heard. According to Eleanor's eavesdropping parrot, no one at court appreciates her unladylike tendency to voice her opinion. To make matters worse, her royal fiancé spends his last night of bachelorhood on a drunken whoring spree. Before the ink dries on her marriage proclamation Eleanor realizes that she loves her husband's best friend, former soldier Dorian Finley.
Eleanor can't resist Dorian's honesty, or his unusual admiration for her intelligence, and soon both are caught in a dangerous obsession. She drowns her confusion in charitable endeavors, but the people's love can't protect her from her feelings. When a magical crime endangers the bond between unicorns, dragons and the royal family, a falsely accused Eleanor must clear her own name to save her life. The road toward vindication will force a choice between hard-won security and an impossible love.
Author Bio
Website | Twitter | Facebook | Goodreads
Stephanie Alexander grew up in the suburbs of Washington, DC, the oldest of three children. Drawing, writing stories and harassing her parents for a pony consumed much of her childhood.
She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from the College of Charleston, South Carolina, and then followed her long-time fascination with sociopolitical structures and women's issues to land a Master of Arts in Sociology from American University. She spent several years as a Policy Associate at the International Center for Research on Women, a think-tank focused on women's health and economic advancement.
Stephanie embraced full-time motherhood after the birth of the first of her three children in 2003. And after six wonderful years buried in diapers and picture books, she returned to her childhood passion and wrote her own fairytale. Her academic and professional background influenced multiple themes in her debut novel The Cracked Slipper (available in paperback and all eBook formats), including patriarchy and power dynamics, education and economic independence, and the ramifications of early childhood experiences.
The author is a member of the Women's Fiction Chapter of Romance Writers of America and the Bethesda Writer's Center, and an alumna of the Algonkian NYC Pitch and Shop Conference.
Stephanie's family put down permanent southern roots in 2011 when she returned to the College of Charleston as an Adjunct Professor of Sociology and Friends of the Addlestone Library board member.
There's a lot of talk amongst novelists about the whole plot-driven versus character-driven argument. Of course, in a perfect world our books would be driven by both plot and character. If you write fantasy, however, you've got more than just the who and the what to worry about. In a fantasy book, the world your characters inhabit is just as important as who they are and what they do.
Of course all novels must have a strong sense of place. In a fantasy book the stakes are even higher. The world arguably a character unto itself.
In thinking about world building in fantasy novels, I've focus on two elements that go beyond imagination. Beyond coming up with some kind of exotic unheard of creature or a new twist on an old spell. The best fantasy worlds aren't just creative; they are both familiar and subtle.
No one does the familiar fantasy world better than JK Rowling. Harry's world literally exists within our own… right under our noses. Rowling creates a space for her characters to live that is wildly creative, but so mirrors out own reality that the reader can't disbelieve it.
The Quidditch World cup? Advertisements for magical cleaning products? Paparazzi hounding enchanted celebrities? Harry's world is just like ours, but a lot more fun.
I've sometimes found that fantasy writers try to hard to make the world different, when in my mind what works best is to make things sort of the same…just better. It's easier to fully believe in a fantasy setting when you don't have to think about it too hard. If I'm rereading a paragraph to try and understand the minutiae of a religious ceremony or the rules of enchantment or the complex familial relations of a family of trolls, that's less energy I have for the real story. We writers should go easy on our readers by making it simple for them to believe in our personal interpretations of magic.
In addition to familiarity, I admire writers who can subtly deliver the fantastical. When magic, or even just differentness, blends in with a character's day-to-day existence, it usually has more umph. It's a natural part of the background. In Stephen King's Dark Tower books, he never needs to explain what Roland's world actually is… is it our world in the future? A parallel dimension? We're all connected somehow, but the reader just accepts the differences between our world and Mid-world. In my opinion, much of acceptance can be attributed to the fact that King never actually explains what those differences are. They just flow through the narrative, and we take them as fact and continue on. If it's not a big deal to the characters, it doesn't have to be a big deal to the reader.
The idea of focusing on familiarity and subtly in world building might seem counterintuitive. Don't' we want our readers to be amazed or shocked or blown away by the depth of our creativity? Of course we do, but one of the most important ways to blow someone away with your imagination is to make them believe in it. If your readers can really see themselves inhabiting the world, then you've succeeded in blowing them away. I don't want to live in a world I don't understand, where I'm constantly analyzing the rules. I don't want to stop and think, "Really? How could that be?"
Believable fantasy is the kind where the reader can see himself or herself navigating the world without an encyclopedia. Where the unimaginable is just part of the characters' day-to-day. Real magic is deceptively simple.
The Cracked Slipper will be free on these days November 6-7 & December 7-9

That is a "sweet" gun...I can't believe the weight specs on that thing!
Out of the case, this is the sweetest shotgun I have ever owned. with a little adjustment that is provided, I shot my limit easily. Later I had to let my boys use it. We all hit well. note: AVOID shooting quail at short range.
i have been trying to get my hands on one of these guns ever since i heard about them in january...where the hell do you get one? i've tried every gun shop in central mn and none of them have even seen one..what the hell
The sweet 16 is not out for common folk yet. Came out at shot show 2016 and claimed may/June 2016 delivery. Spoke to Browning on firstname.lastname@example.com occasions and it was always gonna ship in two weeks. I have had one reserved for months. Browning now says they won't ship out till 2017 for delivery. Browning has been buying advertising all over the hunting publications and talking them up. I really wanted one of these but after waiting all this time I bought a benelli. I have had so many Brownings over the years but somebody dropped the ball between marketing and production.
Great article. Here is my take on the 16 gauge. This is coming from a guy that grew up and wore out a 16 gauge JC Higgins. Loved that gun. I advanced to a 16 Citori many years ago and still shoot that.. Yes nostalgia is part of the reason I continue to use the gun but I believe the gauge hits just as hard as a 12. The problem I am having with the 16 is that in order to hunt WPA land you need a pocket full of steel. This is getting increasingly harder to find. Especially if you are looking for a 5-6 shot. I would love to add the A-5 to my collection but only if Federal will assure me that they will continue to produce 16 gauge steel shells.

Ryan tells Fox News he hasn't got the time to explain how he and Romney will pay for their tax plan
For all his celebrated wonkishness, the Janesville Genius can be strangely evasive at times, as was the case HERE: For much of the general election, the Romney campaign has avoided any discussion of specifics, especially when it comes to the tax plan that he and Paul Ryan have put forward.

For function, for inspiration, or just for kicks—we think rearranging your surroundings is always a worthwhile idea!
Sure, extensive overhauls of your home's décor can change your space for the better… but who's to say simpler, less involved rearrangements of furniture or accent pieces can't do the trick just as well?
Take a look below to see our case for switching around your space this summer.
It's a physical representation of change
Have you recently made a big change in your life—whether it be a new job, gym routine, or addition to the family?
Life is full of changes both big and small. Why not update your surroundings to reflect those changes? Periodically moving around a sofa, rotating your desk, or rethinking your sitting area can help you ensure that your home is as fresh and invigorating as the life that inhabits it.
Functionality matters
Of course, sometimes a furniture rearrangement can help you accomplish functional goals like a cleaner space or more room to work with. Is your beautiful sofa showing signs of sun fading from being by the window too long? Or have you not moved your bulky media center in ages, making it hard to clean under its weight? Whatever the issue may be, switching around your furniture (if only for a day) can help you solve it.
You're not feeling inspired
Whether it's an office, bedroom, kitchen or at-home studio, a room should—at the very least—inspire its occupants in some way. If you're not feeling the inspiration, shifting your surroundings could open up a vista that you never before considered. It can make you see things in a whole new way, both visually and mentally… so it's worth a try for those days when you feel like you're stuck in a summertime slump.
You need a summertime boredom-buster
Of course, you never need a big reason to get creative with your furniture. There's a reason it's not all built in to your floors! On a rainy day when you're not quite sure what to do, try moving even one piece (a desk, for example, or the orientation of your bed) to see where it takes you.
You might just find something better along the way
There's more than one way to design a room—so who's to say you got it perfectly the first time around? Embrace the potential of your space and try out a new layout, if only to discover an arrangement that works even better for you and your family.
Your custom Kargar home lets you design a quality foundation that's built to last—but your furniture layout isn't quite as permanent! We hope that today's blog helps you see a new way to craft your surroundings whenever you feel the need for a change.

Boba, Pinwheels, and Los Angeles – Carolyn & Kenny's Engagement Session!1:34 PM
This weekend I get to shoot Carolyn & Kenny's wedding and I could not be more excited! I met them for the first time during their engagement session and instantly I knew we'd get along; they love boba, gaming, and good food – pretty much everything one needs, right?
To keep things interesting, Carolyn and Kenny brought their own set of props and we spent the afternoon trying to cleverly work them into the photos while shooting all over town. That day, for whatever reason, I really wanted to explore creative-depth and background blur so it was especially rewarding when we managed to get a shot featuring Carolyn's ring balanced on a pinwheel WITH the two of them being adorable in the background. Something about the clarity of the ring/pinwheel against the subtle blur made it a standout during the editing!
I will say though, of all the locations and sets we shot that day, my personal favorites are still the nighttime shots we hustled at 10PM! Having combed through my work before reaching out to me, Carolyn and Kenny knew they wanted series of shots featuring LA's gorgeous skyline…but it had to be at night – a request that is music to my ears.
Carolyn and Kenny, if you're reading this, good job being awesome. Let's get some tea.

Since 1980, the rate of multiple births has risen a staggering seventy percent. Unfortunately, most multiple pregnancies are not routine. More than sixty percent of all twin pregnancies are delivered preterm, and the number is even higher for triplets and higher-order multiples. To help its members deal with these challenges, the Northwest Houston Mothers of Multiples (NWHMOM) provides a support system for expecting, new and even experienced parents of multiples in northwest Houston. NWHMOM is a non-profit organization that is a state and nationally recognized division of Multiples of America that supports parents of twins, triplets and higher order multiples.
Currently, NWHMOM consists of 140 members, 29 of which were added in the past year alone. The club's membership is growing rapidly. Yet to accommodate as many families as possible, membership dues represents only half of the club's total expenses. Those expenses include costs for supporting new mothers restricted to bed rest, families with one or more newborns in NICU, community service projects, adopting needy families, and more.
To support these outreach activities, NWHMOM relies upon cash, in kind and other contributions from the community. Your donation is tax deductible, and you will receive a donor receipt for your tax records. All donations will also be acknowledged with your business name in our event program and on our website.

I develop primarily on Linux and wrote class_dicom.php with Linux in mind. This tutorial will be geared towards CentOS or Fedora as that is what I use on a day to day basis. I'll try to include notes for Ubuntu/Debian when possible.
I'm going to assume you have at minimum, Linux installed on a PC and you can access the command line as root.
1. Let's get your environment ready
We're going to install all of the needed development tools, a web server, and MySQL. A web server and MySQL is not needed by class_dicom.php, but since most folks are going to want to use PHP from a web server, we might as well get it installed.
yum -y groupinstall "Web Server" 'Development Tools' "MySQL Database" yum -y install wget php php-gd ImageMagick libjpeg zlib libpng libtiff libxml2 libpng-devel zlib-devel libjpeg-devel libtiff-devel libxml-devel libxml2-devel libwrap-devel libpng10-devel php-mysql
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ sudo apt-get install build-essential wget ImageMagick libjpeg zlib libpng libtiff libxml2 libpng-devel zlib-devel libjpeg-devel libtiff-devel libxml-devel libxml2-devel libwrap-devel libpng10-devel
All of the above will probably take a while to finish out. Note that the ^ in the Ubuntu command is not a typo and needs to be present.
2. Build and install DCMTK
DCMTK is what class_dicom.php uses to actually work with DICOM files. Among many other things, it is a collect of command line tools for working with DICOM files.
The process of building and installing is essentially the same between versions of Linux.
wget ftp://dicom.offis.de/pub/dicom/offis/software/dcmtk/dcmtk360/dcmtk-3.6.0.tar.gz tar zxvf dcmtk-3.6.0.tar.gz cd dcmtk-3.6.0 ./configure;make;make install
Depending on your computer, the DCMTK can take a long time to build.
3. Install class_dicom.php
Download a copy:
wget --no-check-certificate http://github.com/vedicveko/class_dicom.php/zipball/master unzip master mv vedicveko-class_dicom.php* class_dicom_php
and…. you're done.
Lets make sure it works!
cd class_dicom_php/examples ./get_tags.php dean.dcm
You should see a header dump of dean.dcm printed to the screen.

What are you looking for? There's a good chance you'll find it in a Kia. In fact, there are, at least, 22 models in a variety of sizes. These reviews should help you narrow down which one is right for your busy lifestyle.
Experience the KIA Sorento
Experience the KIA Stinger
Experience the KIA Soul
Experience the KIA Sportage
Experience the KIA Telluride
Experience the KIA Optima
Experience the KIA Forte
Experience the KIA Sedona
Small but smart, the Forte, Forte5, Rio, Rio 5-door and roomy Soul offer five ways to commute in style. You can also get a bigger sedan such as the Optima or Cadenza and enjoy an extra-spacious cabin with the latest comforts. In fact, the Cadenza earned the Best Large Car for Families Award from U.S. News and World Report. If you need something bigger, Kia lets you choose from the Sportage crossover, Sorento SUV, and Sedona minivan. All of these models have standard engines with good gas mileage. Autotrader declared the Sportage as a 2017 Must Drive crossover, and Kelley Blue Book named it a Best Family Car. If you want to go green, you've got a range of sizes to choose from. In addition to the Niro and Niro EV, you can get hybrid or all-electric technology with the Optima Hybrid, Optima Plug-In Hybrid, and Soul EV.
Kias are known for extremely competitive prices on many of their base editions. Shoppers can either save money or move up to the higher-end features that are more costly on rival brands. U.S. News and World Report named it the Best Compact Car for the Money. Furthermore, this car has been named one of the coolest under $18,000 by Kelley Blue Book. From its cars to its crossovers, Kia continues this initial value with low operating costs. Good fuel economy keeps costs low over time, and top automotive warranties help ensure that the vehicle is on the road far into the future. Every Kia is backed by a five-year Limited warranty and five years of roadside assistance. That's two years more than almost every other brand of vehicle. For even more peace of mind, the Kia powertrain warranty provides coverage for up to ten years. In this case, it's as much as five years more than the coverage provided by most other brands.
Whether you are focused on quality, features, or performance, you'll find a world to explore in these reviews. A test drive at Germain Kia is the ultimate way to do your automotive research.

5 Brilliant Tips to a Better Night's Sleep
I've seen a lot of sites with advice on sleep. Dim the lights. Calm music. Locking the kids outside for the night. I've tried them all. But for many of us that stuff is just hokus-pokus window dressing that doesn't do Jack when the time comes to turn out the lights. But over time me and the delightful Mrs. Parrot have come up with a few tricks that seem to have a good chance of stacking the deck in one's favor.
#5. Calcium/Magnesium, Vitamin D3 and Cod Liver Oil
Sleep is not one of this things that just happens when you're tired. If that was the case then technically all you need to do is have 12 cups of coffee in the morning, go like a meerkat on crystal-meth all day and finally collapse in a heap.
To have a quality sleep you actually require a complete set of nutrients and your body needs to be somewhat healthy. In a way, you have to prepare for it like any endurance exercise. And as such you may want to look into some supplements to help you along.
Calcium/Magnesium: These need each other, so don't waste your dough on a lone Calcium vitamin. Cal/Mag will help calm your nerves and muscles which is the golden ticket to a good nights sleep. But many pills have too much calcium ( such as 2:1 ratio ), throwing the balance off so look around for a good quality Cal/Mag not a cheap clearance special. The Magnesium should at the very least be equal so if your sleep isn't working, give a 1:1 supplement a try. In some cases a straight up magnesium dose does wonders too. Experiment and see what works for you.
Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3 signals the pituitary gland to release growth hormones, and it encourages sleep by producing melatonin in levels high enough to trigger slumber.
Unless you live on the Equator, your Vitamin D is probably waaaaaay too low and most people are extremely deficient. Especially for a Canadian like me who gets about 4 hours a year of summer ( sucks if it's raining ). Contrary to what health professionals advise, a paltry 1000 IU isn't even a whiff of what you need. I take 4000 IU daily, but your mileage may vary depending on your outdoor exposure and geographical location. If for example, you're a naked missionary in Sudan, you're probably groovy without any D supplementation and should probably instead invest in quality body armor.
Cod Liver Oil: A diet low in fatty acids results in an imbalance of physiological chemicals. The Omega 3's from ground up fish juice is like rocket fuel for your brain neurons and enhances the secretion of melatonin.
#4. Avoid Wheat
Your mileage may vary here, but nothing puts my sleep quality in the tank like wheat and it should be no surprise why. Even the best whole wheat bread does little more than crank up your blood sugar levels even though for years we've been told it is good fiber and helps sleep. Only now is the truth getting mainstream attention and dietitians as well as national Food Guides are scrambling to revise their charts to accommodate this information.
High blood sugar makes you prone to bathroom runs, mood swings, and general all-around bad balance of the body. So instead of a high-carb food that acts like a sugar, aim for something more protein rich. And be sure to skip the cookies and milk because seriously…what are you, like…five? A scrambled egg on rice cake would be a superb alternative.
#3. Avoid TV and Computer before bed.
There's a dramatic difference between getting the latest from the Weather Channel and sitting through eight uninterrupted hours of Doctor Who ( which is an awesome show, so I understand ). After a while a certain part of your brain checks out for the night while the rest engages in the apex of science fiction entertainment.
Problem with heavy tech usage is that when it comes time for all of your brain to enter sleep, half of it has already got a head start while the other half is still chasing Pokemon. The mental jet-lag might take several hours to snap out of. Hours that could have made the difference between a good nights sleep, and punching the office water cooler the next day because you swear it called your mother a whore.
It's not just for cheap Chinese Take-Out anymore. You can't imagine how prevalent this crap is in the food you buy and don't expect Monosodium Glutamate to be nicely displayed on the ingredients label. Being honest doesn't help sell a product so manufacturers have instead opted for underhanded tactics. If it says "spices", Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein (HVP), Hydrolyzed Plant Protein (HPP), Hydrolyzed Soy Protein (HSP), or Autolysed Yeast Extracts on the ingredients label then the scum sucking degenerates are hiding this nefarious bastard of a food additive guaranteed.
MSG makes your brain fire off random neurons like Yosemite Sam. It can also cause diabetes, adrenal gland malfunction, seizures, high blood pressure, excessive weight gain, stroke and other health problems. Although highest in the worst kind of "food" such as fast food, it may very well be in that supposedly healthy mushroom soup you had for lunch. Definitely not good night sleep nutrition, so if you're having difficulty shutting the mind off then take some time to review food labels in your pantry.
#1. Get Your Freaky On. ( aka. Vitamin "Chick-a-bow-bow!" )
Some days you decide to sit and watch old ThunderCats reruns and before you know it you go to bed and start having weird dreams of Cheetara. At that point you wake up sporting "morning wood" and realize you're probably permanently mentally damaged.
But like most young men, I didn't just get married for the regular meals and having someone pick out good shirts for me. No siree…it was some good old fashioned filthy desire to do shamefully explicit acts to expand the human race that got me down the isle. So if you're staring at the ceiling at 3am and your significant other is having the first uninterrupted stretch of sleep in years since the kids were born, feel free to give your bride a nudge and meet her slowly opening blood-shot eyes with a wink and a dirty smile. By golly, if you're not having some of the best lovemaking in the next 5 minutes then my name ain't Doctor Love.

PR Sample
Everything But The Memories is an exciting business I have just found out about and after having a look on their website - I want everything! They do everything from mugs, notebooks, make up bags to wedding items and best of all at very reasonable prices. I was lucky enough to be sent some items from Stacey who runs Everything But The Memories.
I got sent a notebook, a make up bag, a set of three pencils and a pocket mirror. At first glance the items are very well made and so pretty.
The Notebook*
This is a beautiful purple colour and fastens with a stretchy string. The paper inside is plain which I think is great as then you can use it not just for writing but you can doodle in it to if you want to. The paper itself is really good quality, I hate notebooks were the paper is super thin and flimsy but this paper isn't like that it's nice and thick and sturdy.
It also has a little wallet at the back of it, again this is great as it would be great for keeping your stickers or anything else you like to use when using a notebook.
This is available to buy at a great price of £5.00. Unfortunately these are currently out of stock, but keep checking back.
Personalised Pencils*
I love these pencils, they look so good with the wording embossed on them. The good thing is that these pencils can be personalised so they would make great presents for someone. Or you can choose from their fantastic range they do Harry Potter or Alice In Wonderland themed pencils.
These personalised pencils are just £5.00 for a set of four.
Make-Up Bag*
This is truly lovely, it is quite thin fabric which I think makes it perfect for your handbag. To be fair I don't tend to carry all my make up around with me but this has been fantastic for keeping the mirror in along with my hand cream and lip balm, this way I don't end up loosing them in my bag. Great idea yes?! Again these can be personalised with your initials which is fab.
The make up bags are £6.00 each.
Pocket Mirror*
This one was a lovely surprise and the design that was picked for me is beautiful. It is a lovely size and as I said great for putting in the make up bag and carrying around with me, I have been using this to re-apply my tinted lip balm when I'm out and about as it is now that time of year where I really need to be vigilante with the lip balm, so this has come in so very handy for this.
The mirror's can also be personalised with any picture and message you desire, this would make a great gift for a loved one.
The pocket mirror is £4.00 each.
So what do you think? Personally I love everything that was sent to me and I am already eyeing up the Alice In Wonderland pencils as I am a massive Alice fan. There are so many items I have seen since looking on the website that I want.
What is your favorite item from this list? I think mine is the make up bag if I really must choose one. Let me know in the comments below.
*All items were sent to me for free for my honest review

Organ failure syndrome
The battle to save accident victims in Intensive Care often extends beyond treating the original injury, with multiple organ failure (MOF) presenting a constant threat. While the precise cause of the body's sequential 'shut down' is unknown, results from a recent Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) study may help to solve the puzzle.
"Our key research area is looking at the body's inflammatory response to injury – what is the molecular connection between tissue damage and organ failure," Professor Zsolt Balogh, Director of Trauma Surgery at John Hunter Hospital and head of the University of Newcastle's Traumatology Research Group, said.
"We have found four independent predictors of multiple organ failure. One is the severity of injury, the second is the severity of blood loss, third is the patient's genetics, and fourth is the so-called second hit."
'Second hit' refers to the management of a patient's injuries and condition after arriving at hospital, particularly how surgical operations can trigger their immunological response.
"Patients are stirred up by the trauma and we hit them again with surgery and interventions," Professor Balogh explained. "We can't do anything about how severely they're injured or their blood loss, we can't change how genetically prone they are to inflammation, but the way we manage their treatment can directly impact on the degree of organ failure they will suffer."
Trauma is the major killer for people aged below 45 and a leading cause of burden on society.
Organ failure is the leading cause of death among accident patients who survive the first few days in hospital. The mortality rate is 25 per cent once a patient develops MOF, regardless of what initial injury they sustained, compared with a rate of only 3 per cent for those who aren't afflicted.
In collaboration with an HMRI immunology group led by Professor Phil Hansbro and University of Newcastle genomics expert Dr Doug Smith, Professor Balogh's team has identified a key marker for post-injury inflammation – it is the naturally occurring mitochondrial DNA within cells.
Professor Balogh likens them to a Trojan horse: "Every cell has hundreds of mitochondria living happily inside but when the cells die due to trauma the mitochondrial DNA leaks out," he said.
"It actually looks like bacterial DNA and, because it's recognised as bacterial product, it activates the white blood cell receptors which then kill more tissue … a vicious cycle.
"These activated white cells can also release their mitochondrial DNA, and we are the first to show that this mechanism happens without any bacteria or infection."
Results of the study were published this month in the international Journal of Critical Care and previously in The Lancet.
There is no "magic silver bullet" for medical staff other than preventing the syndrome. Depending on patient response, surgeons can decide when to operate and whether to initially perform major or minimally invasive surgery.
HMRI is a partnership between the University of Newcastle, Hunter New England Health and the community.

Dear Parents and Young Artists,
I'm working with some terrific artists in a one on one and small group setting. It's wonderful to be able to help a fellow artist achieve their painting goals. I hope you enjoy the images and post below. Pam
Private Lessons
Teaching is an active profession. Filling my time in the classroom is never a problem, I'm always moving from one student to the next; fetching supplies, showing new techniques, and discussing what the kids are creating. Sometimes it's hectic, but I enjoy my students' creative enthusiasm. It suits me and contrasts nicely with the quiet time I spend making my artwork.
Then there are the private lessons. In the beginning, I had doubts that I could quietly observe and guide only one person. What would I do with all the spare time? It turns out that these hours are some of the happiest of my work week. I've gotten to know some wonderful people and share their artistic successes.
Above is a self-portrait by one of my favorite students. She has just turned thirteen and is smart and creative, and we have an excellent rapport. She challenges me but also respects my advice. We first met when she was nine and I've been working with her for a little over three years. She may want a career in art and I want to give her a good start; lots of basic knowledge balanced by her interests and curiosity. One of the ways we're marking her progress is that she periodically paints a horse.
It was one of the first images she painted with me and repeating it was her idea. She's serious about her artwork and is willing to take time to build a strong portfolio. This first picture, above, is well composed and the pink horse is delightful. For the latest depiction, I wanted her to create a grayscale painting and use glazes to add the color. It's an old technique, but the understanding gained was worth all her hard work.
I'm amazed at how her technical ability has grown over the past three years and I'm looking forward to seeing how her talent evolves. She has the intellect and the drive and her portfolio is off to a good start!
Interested in private lessons for your child or small group of children and live in Riverside, CA, contact me at email@example.com or 951 288-4973 to call or text.

Not Quite a Guitar Hero
The first two panels are basically every party we've had at this place in the last two months. Guitar hero just rocks.
I payed a lot of attention to color schemes in this one. Dont know if you can tell. I wanted a general warm color scheme in the first two, then have the main guy with the guitar two cool colors to hopefully set him apart somewhat. I really greyed out the colors for the last two, for that uber depressing touch, and made the area between the two buildings a kind of middle ground as far as color saturation and brightness is concerned.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy tops UK Box Office
The much-hyped – and deservedly so – big screen adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy has opened at number one at the box office in the UK and Ireland.
The Working Titles film, financed and released by the newly rebranded Studiocanal UK – formerly Optimum – knocked The Inbetweeners into second place, with a £2.8 million opening weekend.
Sales of John le Carré's novel were also boosted by awareness of the film, featuring an all-star British cast, including Gary Oldman, John Hurt, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong and Tom Hardy.
Studiocanal UK's Chief Executive Danny Perkins said the outstanding figures were a testament to the quality of the film delivered by Working Title, the tireless support of the cast and crew and the hard work, creativity, skill and passion of his team.
Working Title's co-chairman, Tim Bevan, said it was very difficult to get films like that made so when they connect with the audience, the success is all the sweeter.
Two of last week's releases – Friends with Benefits and Jane Eyre – took the third and fourth spots with the Change-Up coming in at number five.
Sarah Jessica Parker's I Don't Know How She Does It could manage only sixth place, taking just over half a million pounds.
The entertaining action comedy 30 Minutes or Less took only a quarter of a million in its opening weekend and David Mackenzie's music festival rom-com You Instead manages less than £7000 from 82 screens, averaging £83 per sceen — compared with Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy's screen average of more than £7000.
