A 3 month old male child presented with recurrent episodes of nasal regurgitation, severe choking and respiratory distress that led to repeated admissions in various hospitals. The child was full term, first in birth order and delivered by caesarean section due to failed induction. The neonate needed resuscitation at the time of birth. Due to severe respiratory distress and birth asphyxia, neonate remained in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for 7-10 days. Thereafter, the child was having difficulty while taking bottle-feed and invariably developed choking while taking feed. Examination of the child at the time of admission revealed sick, febrile, anemic child with coarse facial features, dry and coarse skin and marked respiratory distress. Child was malnourished (weight = 2.9 kg). Examination of chest revealed marked indrawing of intercostals spaces and retraction of subcostal margins with bilateral extensive coarse crepitations. First heart sound was loud with grade III systolic murmur. Other systems were normal. Laboratory investigations revealed dimorphic anemia and toxic granulation in the peripheral blood film. Blood culture grew staphylococcus aureus. Serum T3 level was 2.0 pg/dl (normal 3.1-8.6 pg/dl and Serum T4 was 0.76 μg/dl (normal 12-33 μg/dl) and TSH level of 18.94 μIU/ml (normal level 1.7-9.1 μIU/ml) were suggestive of hypothyroidism. X-ray chest showed bilateral patches of infiltration but normal sized heart. MRI brain did not reveal any abnormality. Echocardiography revealed 2mm size ventricular defect. Water soluble non-ionic contrast esophagogram was performed with help of Ryle's tube which was placed at C4-C5 Level. Dye was injected instantaneously with force, which showed normal passage of contrast through esophagus into the stomach. The child did not develop choking or respiration distress. No evidence of tracheo-esophageal fistula was found (Fig 1). After removing Ryle's tube, a few drops of the same contrast when given orally, a communication between hypopharynx (upper part of esophagus) and larynx was visualized. The child developed choking and respiration distress after the procedure (oral intake of dye). These findings suggested the presence of laryngo-tracheo-esophageal cleft (LTEC), a rare malformation (Fig 2). Direct laryngoscopy could not be attempted due to the large tongue. Endoscopy by the pediatric surgeon also confirmed the presence of LTEC.
Laryngotracheoesophageal Cleft is a congenital midline defect of the posterior part of larynx and trachea and the anterior wall of esophagus. It is rare but significant cause of congenital respiratory distress and aspiration (1). The true incidence may be higher, but the approximate incidence of LTEC is one in 10,000 to 20,000 live births and 0.4% in all patients with laryngeal abnormalities (2). Males are affected more commonly than females. There is no consistent pattern of inheritance as most cases are sporadic, however, according to Phelan and Finlay, familial occurrence with autosomal dominant pattern has been reported (3,4).
The trachea and esophagus are foregut derivatives. At 25 days, the laryngotracheal septum develops and begins to fuse in a cephalad direction. It separates the distal trachea from the developing esophagus. The tracheo-esophageal septum completes upto the level of the first ring of trachea by 5th week. LTEC develops as a result of failure of tracheo-esophageal septum development. The phase at interruption determines the length of cleft (5,6). According to Benjamin and Inglis, LTEC is of 4 types (Type I - involving interarytenoid musculature, Type II - involving cricoid only, Type III - involving proximal laryngo-tracheo-esophagus and type IV the whole of thoracic tracheo-esophageal septum (7). As evident from contrast esophagogram and endoscopy, the Type II LTEC was present in the reported case. Associated anomalies like tracheo-esophageal fistula - 20%, gastrointestinal (anal atresia, Meckel's diverticulum, cleft lip and gastroesophageal reflux), gastro-urinary, pulmonary (bronchial and tracheal stenosis) and various types of cardiovascular malformation, may occur with LTEC (8,9). Congenital heart disease, hypoparathyroidism, laryngo-tracheo-esophageal anomalies and autoimmune disorder (late onset autoimmune hypothyroidism) have been described in DiGeorge syndrome. But in the reported case, hypothyroidism along with small sized ventricular septal defect were present though the child did not have other features of DiGeorge syndrome. G-syndrome and Pallister Hall Syndrome, may be associated with LTEC (10).
The infant with LTEC is at risk from repeated aspiration of feed and saliva, recurrent pneumonias and respiratory distress (1,8). Minor LTEC type-I clefts may be asymptomatic. Typically, cleft patients are said to present with classical triad of increased salivation, strider and a low soundless cry.
Management of LTEC includes stabilization of the airway. Healthy patient with LTEC Type-I, only needs intubation and early repair. Tracheostomy is usually required in cleft type II through IV, which allows improved surgical exposure and minimizes post-operative tracheal trauma. Delayed repair results in life threatening pulmonary complications. Various approaches for surgical correction have been adopted and modified to do repair depending upon the associated anomalies (11-13).
Prognosis is always guarded, as review of 85 cases by Roth et al in 1983 revealed overall mortality of 46% (43% type I and II, 42% for type III and 93% for type IV). Of all the patients who died, 67% had other associated serious congenital malformations. Despite secure closure of LTEC, disturbances of swallowing often persist (1,14).
It is therefore recommended the LTEC should be kept in mind in a newborn presenting with: (a) excessive frothiness and drooling of secretions (b) recurrent aspiration and choking during feed (c) repeated attacks of cyanosis and (d) recurrent pneumonias.

U ppl r seriously twisted!!! It is a sin 2 have relations with the same sex and that's what's wrong with the world today. Ppl supporting queers and lesbians when everyone know it's wrong. And I dont believe 4 one sec that anyone is born gay. That's just an excuse 4 ppl 2 think it's ok. GOD made adam and eve....not Adam and steve. Grow up and read the bible u might learn something. Because God made man in his image and he definately isn't queer. I feel 4 those of u that aren't saved, pray 2 god 4 ur soul because u don't want 2 burn n hell. Just accept Christ as your personal and believe that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth n him shall not parish but have ever lasting life. John 3:16u will be chastised 4 the things u do wrong, not only sinners but Christians will b too. Even Christians sin because everyones human just don't let the devil beat u and repent 2 god and pray 2 him everyday. Ur life will b so much better chops someone reads this and will give someone hope and desire 2 have god n their life. May god bless u all because he loves everyone. Even the worst sinners. I'm not judging just trying 2 help ppl find god. Find him and u will have peace n ur life :)
#153 Oct 16, 2011
Dear Holy Roller, don't use the Lord's name to put ppl down. You are judging, and calling names. Seriously, where in that bible did the Lord call anyone a QUEER? You are the one who needs to grow up, and brush up on your religion. You should love everyone, not condem them. I am all for sharing the word of God, but I am so against those who use his name to spout off their opinions. And don't tell me that the Lord will love me any less because "I kissed a girl, and I liked it!"...lol Good day!
#154 Oct 16, 2011
Your obviously not saved. A real christain wouldn't get on this site talking crap, and telling people their going to hell over something they know nothing about. PEOPLE ARE BORN GAY!!!!

The Bible speaks of Homosexuals and YES, Homosexuality goes against the Bible!! I will agree with you on one thing, nobody can judge against it, ONLY GOD himself! I may have my opinion on this matter and I may see that it is wrong but everybody will stand in judgement for what they do themselves!! If homosexuality is right, then why can't two homosexual couples make babies? It takes two of the OPPOSITE sex to do that, right??? God made male and female and this purpose was to populate the world!!! Good day to you also!

My God I think i just lost a tooth! How can this be? I am but a youngling! Those EVIL EVIL humans took it! A pox on them! May they feel every ounce of my feline wrath!! May they smell my discharge from a mile away!!
I'm leaving this dump! Tonight I'll make my escape. Hah...let's see how they miss me...let's see how they cope without my beauty illuminating the drudgery of their pathetic lives!! Snicker, snicker...kaff! kaff! (let me get rid of that hairball for a bit)
Sigh, I'm so tired. I'm so tired of being beautiful all the time...don't these pithy humans realize the kind of effort I put into...into...into being ? I can't take the stress of daily grooming and posturing and lounging whilst making sure my lighting is just so and my angles just right. Sometimes I want to get away from it all...to be alone , just alone in the dark...
Adding further to my troubles is this infernal itching at the base of my tail that won't go away. My lovely hairs are falling off! It's enough to drive me mad! And I've noticed something, whenever this itch recurrs I taste something strange in my food. Maybe these foolish humans have been adding something to my bowl to give me this itch! They're jealous and want to rob me of my flawless beauty! Well! I'll just have to teach them a lesson. Maybe I'll pounce on the thin one who makes the funny, mesmerizing thing on the wire go up and down; I'll attack her when she least expects it. Or maybe I'll "relieve" myself on the soft fluffy thing where the humans sleep. Ha! Yes....I'll do that tomorow! They won't discover my nefarious plans!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!! Ooh look at that brown crawling thing with many legs on the wall....

The Sikhote-Alin (Russian: Сихотэ́-Али́нь; approximate pronunciation /siːkoʊˈteɪ ɑːˈliːn/ see-koh-TAY ah-LEEN) is a mountain range in Primorsky and Khabarovsk Krais, Russia, extending about 900 kilometres (560 mi) to the northeast of the Russian Pacific seaport of Vladivostok. The highest summits are Tordoki Yani at 2,077 metres (6,814 ft) above sea level, Ko Mountain (2,003 m) in Khabarovsk Krai and Anik Mountain (1,933 m) in Primorsky Krai.
Although Sikhote-Alin is a temperate zone, species typical of northern taiga (such as reindeer and the Ussuri brown bear) coexist with tropical species, the Amur leopard, Siberian tiger, and the Asiatic black bear. The region holds very few wolves, due to competition with tigers.[1] The oldest tree in the region is a millennium-old Japanese yew.[2]
In the 1910s and 1920s, Sikhote-Alin was extensively explored by Vladimir Arsenyev (1872–1930) who described his adventures in several books, notably Dersu Uzala (1923), which in 1975 was turned into an Oscar-winning film by Akira Kurosawa. The large Sikhote-Alin and Lazo wildlife refuges were set up in 1935 to preserve the region's unusual wildlife.
On February 12, 1947, one of the largest meteor showers in recent history occurred in the Sikhote-Alin mountains. The Sikhote-Alin meteorite exploded in the atmosphere as it fell, raining many tons of metal on an elliptical region about 1.3 square kilometres (0.50 sq mi) in area. Craters were formed by the meteors; the largest was 26 metres (85 ft) in diameter.
In 2001, UNESCO placed Sikhote-Alin onto the World Heritage List, citing its importance for "the survival of endangered species such as the scaly-sided (Chinese) merganser, Blakiston's fish-owl and the Amur tiger". The World Heritage site has a total area of 16,319 square kilometres (4,033,000 acres), of which the terrestrial core zone of Sikhote-Alin Zapovednik comprises 3,985 square kilometres (985,000 acres).[3] The core zone can only be explored in a company of rangers.

Well, that's my first "painting" thread I bought a few months ago a NICE cast of a modified MR Boba helmet. First I thought I was going to do it PP#3 style, but after I thought, 'If I'm going to do just one Fett costume, should I do a "seen on screen" one?' and then I said 'YES!'. I saw everyone was doing an ESB costume so I thougt a pure RotJ would be really nice. That's what I'm trying to achieve, a RotJ as seen on screen, not a MoM or a AoSW one, just a Hero RotJ as I think it should be (as seen in the Jabba the Hutt cave).
I have been doing a research for the colours. Here I can only buy Humbrol colours so I will use some colours suggested by other members, and some I think are closer. Here is the list:
Special thanks (like on TV ) go for Mojo-Fett, terminalfettler, evan4218 & micke.RotJ Helmet Humbrol Colours List:
Humbrol #88 - Green of Back Panels.
Humbrol #77 - Blue/Green of Upper Cheeks.
Humbrol #31 - Green on Dome and Cheeks.
Humbrol #82 - Killstripes.
Humbrol #67 - Dark Grey all over the Helmet.
Humbrol #100 + Humbrol #73 - Red on Mandibles. 1:1 ratio.
Humbrol #191 - Chrome Silver for Base Layer.
I took the pics really bad, with the light at the wrong side, and with the helmet with "sanded primer", next time I will take better pics, I'm sorry Well, no more words & here are some pics of the WIP:

WOOSTER -- The Wayne County Humane Society had probable cause to believe 58 animals in a Creston-area rescue were subject to animal cruelty, thus, the seizure of them was appropriate, a judge has ruled.
Wayne County Municipal Judge Timothy R. VanSickle denied a motion from the rescue's owner to dismiss the case after finding there was probable cause.
The Humane Society, with help from the Medina County SPCA, removed 47 dogs, a couple of cats, seven birds, a rabbit and a gecko from the Canaan Center Road property May 19 after being issued a search warrant.
While the woman and her attorneys, first Lawrence Courtney, Medina, and now Russell Buzzelli, Wadsworth, were unsuccessful in having the case dismissed, VanSickle did grant a temporary restraining order prohibiting the Humane Society officials from having any of the animals adopted, given to a third party or euthanized.
The search warrant was issued after a complaint Humane Society Executive Director Stuart Mykrantz received from a retired law enforcement officer.
The voluntary statement filed by the man detailed the conditions he found by looking in the windows, and it was accompanied by digital photographs. Dogs were seen in crates stacked on one another, and there was a strong smell of urine and feces coming from an open window, according to the statement. In the search warrant, it was alleged the animals were in an unhealthy living environment.
Mykrantz said the animals were in reasonably good health, but some of the dogs had to be treated for worms.
Courtney and Buzzelli wanted the case dismissed partly because they believe the information that led to the search warrant was obtained illegally.
Once probable cause was determined, the owner of the rescue was required to pay a bond for the care and feeding of the animals while they are in the care of the Humane Society.
Buzzelli objected to the bond because there was no opportunity for the defendant to be heard with respect to the allegation of animal cruelty, thus she was denied due process. The bond amounts to a punishment before trial, Buzzelli wrote to the court.
VanSickle noted the assessment of the bond was required by state law once probable cause had been determined.
The woman put up a cash bond of $17,400, which amounts to a $300 monthly boarding fee per animal.
Now that the case is moving forward, Mykrantz said the Humane Society will continue with its investigation, develop leads and analyze the evidence.
The influx of the nearly 50 dogs also has caused stress on the limited staff at the Humane Society, Mykrantz said. When the animals were seized, it nearly doubled the number of dogs at the shelter. He is appreciative of the volunteers who have helped to bathe and take care of the animals.
Mary Schantz, president of the Humane Society board, is asking for help from volunteers, to mainly walk the animals and clean cages, and also for donations. Workers have had to put in overtime since the animals were seized.
Reporter Bobby Warren can be reached at 330-287-1639 or email@example.com. He is @BobbyWarrenTDR on Twitter.
The plea for donations came before the bond was set. Of course they need extra help walking the dogs and cleaning up. That's a perfectly reasonable request.
It is my understanding the retired law enforcement officer lives in the neighborhood and his dog went missing. He went to the house to see if the woman had it and came upon the situation. The Humane Society obtained a search warrant before going onto the property. I do not see them as liable.
I believe the woman has great intentions and did her best to keep the dogs healthy but that many dogs in a house... she couldn't keep up.
I find it interesting that the name of the alleged criminal has not yet appeared in The Daily Record. This is terrible news coverage. This so-called, yet nameless, rescue owner must have some sort of pull to avoid having her name appear in the newspaper even after the court has determined there is probable cause to bring the charges to trial. Animal abuse is an horrific crime. If this woman is found guilty, my hope is she will see some jail time as all abusers should. Hopefully, the next article dealing with this case will be more professionally written. After all, this woman has been to court, her name is now public record and certainly should appear in any news article related to this case.
Just because a person is a retired law officer doesn't give them a right to go looking in someone's window and taking pictures. I think the Humane Society should have investigated it theirselves before getting a search warrant on the word of a retired cop. Could be a big lawsuit against the neighbor and the Humane Society. I think everyone is making a bigger stink out of all it than what the dog urine stunk.
Why help and donations. The owner put up over 17,000 dollars to care for the animals. It's common for shelters to use a situation to financially gain. The animals were in healthy condition except for a few had worms. Dogs get worms it's common.

Today the girls and I decided to crack olives for Calabrian-style cured olives. We learned how to crack them in Eat Sunday Dinner's first video tutorial, courtesy of Lisa and Louis. I fear that Louis will be horrified by our rather aggressive technique, but we're pretty proud of ourselves. I took a quick break from the olive cracking to post this video, but we've got a lot of olives left to crack so I'd better get back to it...
Sunday Dinner is a great American tradition that has all but disappeared. I want to bring it back. Join me in an exploration of roots food, culinary history, and kitchen folklore. Let's remake Sunday Dinner from scratch.

text: I'm having a similar problem. I have found a bit of information online that indicates the most obvious option, or at least the option most of the early 81's were drilled and tapped for, was the Weaver #2 side mount (here is a link to it on Midway USA: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewprodut/...tnumber=119028). I am having a problem confirming the exact specs however. I have attached some photos of my model 81 for you to review. Mine is D&T'd for only 2 wholes at exactly 3 1/8" center to center. I have been told this is the measurement of the outside wholes on the Weaver #2 side mount. When I do get the specs for the #2 I will post them for you so you can check against yours. Good luck and let me know if you figure it out.

When Russell Breweries Inc. first sat down with a group of Chinese investors to discuss doing a joint venture in China, it wasn't the perfect beginning to a business relationship around beer.
At its brewery in Surrey, B.C., the Russell team brought a sampling of its premium craft beers, while the Chinese passed around their traditional fiery Maotai liquor. The initial reaction on either side was tentative.
But after a few more sips, tastes began to change.
"They weren't used to our beer, and I certainly wasn't used to their liquor," recalled Brian Harris, chief executive officer of Russell. "But pretty soon their liquor tasted pretty good … and they ended up not only liking [Russell beer] but investing in it."
For Russell, the maker of such brands including Russell Cream Ale, Hop Therapy and Russell IP'eh!, it was symbolic of how to build a relationship, particularly with a foreign investor.
"We were connected, we spent time getting to know each other, then we hammered out a world-class agreement that is fair for all parties," said Mr. Harris. "I'm sure that's the formula for even having a chance at these things."
Russell signed a technology and trademark deal last fall with Vancouver-based FVI Capital Inc., a member of Shanghai-based Anyi Capital Group, to brew and distribute Russell brands in China. In May, it announced the opening of a test brewery and brewpub restaurant in Hefei, the capital and largest city of Anhui Province in eastern China, home to more than three-million people. The beer will include the same Canadian ingredients, brewing techniques and standards that Russell uses in Canada, just transported to China.
It's the first of what the partners hope will some day be a handful of Russell-branded locations dotted around China, the largest and fastest-growing beer market in the world. Beer sales in China rose 4.8 per cent to 47.5 billion litres in 2011, according to Euromonitor International. The market research firm forecast growth to 61 billion litres by 2016, with sales of premium brands expected to outpace cheaper brews.
Premium brands today account for about 5 per cent of China's beer market, according to a report from U.K.-based International Wine & Spirit Research and just-drinks.com. That number is expected to grow given China's rapidly expanding middle-class and its increase in disposable income and exposure to Western brands, "making it an ideal target audience for more upmarket alcoholic drinks from overseas," the report states.
"The whole premium consumer goods sector is China is really where a lot of the action is these days," said Li Yu, a partner with FVI Capital, and now a member of Russell's board of directors.
Parent company Anyi Capital has investments in a handful of premium food brands, but Mr. Yu said Russell is its first beer deal.
"The concept of getting Canadian goods over to China, it has a lot of potential."
It's potentially a huge opportunity for Russell, a small craft brewery started by the Russell family in 1995, before Mr. Harris and his son Andrew bought the business in 2004.
Mr. Harris, a former General Foods executive turned entrepreneur in the publishing and electronic ticketing businesses, was skeptical when his son originally suggested buying a brewery a decade ago.
"I like beer. I've always liked beer, but I couldn't understand why anyone in their right mind would want to buy a brewery and compete with an oligopoly. It was just out of my realm of thinking," Mr. Harris said.
After some more explanation about the craft beer market from his son, who has experience in the restaurant industry, the two started looking to buy their own brewery.
They took Russell public in 2005 to help fund its growth plans, and in October 2007 merged with Winnipeg-based Fort Garry Brewing Co. The company was doing well until the financial crisis hit in 2008-09, which caused its stock to plummet.
Mr. Harris said it was around the time of the recession that he started looking into growth in new emerging markets such as China, and that it was the company's chief financial officer, Gary Liu, that helped put them in touch with their new investors.
As part of the agreement, a new company named Russell Breweries China Inc. (RBCI), which is the licensee, was set up. Russell owns 20 per cent of RBCI, with both FVI Capital and other Chinese investors owning the remaining 80 per cent. The Chinese investors also own about 10 per cent of Russell, which is listed on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange. The deal also includes ongoing royalties paid to Russell from RBCI based on the volume of beer produced in China, as part of the licence agreement terms.Report Typo/Error

How far to run dryer vent?
I bought an existing home without an outside dryer vent. The w/d had been moved from the basement (and all connections and vent sealed off) to the middle of the house. The previous owners simply vented their gas dryer through the 1st floor room into the basement through an unfinished spot. That's a no-go for me. I need to run a vent for my dryer now. The closest exterior wall is 12 feet away. I can run the vent along a joist bay but I have to go through finished ceiling and then end up smack into an existing deck with no access under. I have a crawl space I can access and run the vent to an outlet near other vents next to my a/c unit. But that route is 36 feet.
Question: Can I safely run gas dryer vent 36' with at least one 90 or at least a 45 bend 6-9 feet prior to exit? If so can I use 4" pvc? Will I have a problem with water vapor collecting in this long pipe? Should I pitch it up or down and how much? 36' is a long way in my mind.
I wouldnt use pvc for the dryer vent, use the 4" round metal pipe.
As far as the length, 36 feet is going to be a long stretch for that thing, especially adding the extra fittings that you want.
Try to find another route that isnt as long.
Also, dont use screws in the metal piping when you assemble it, the screws will attribute to lint buildup
Not what I wanted to hear but I was hoping for the best. the long run worries me so I better go shorter. I can't go out back without re-doing a deck. I may have to look at a front of the house option. Thanks for the reply.
35 Feet
45 degree counts as 2.5
90 counts as 5
No Screws into pipe tape only
I recommend a shorter route to prevent lint build-up and condensation. Look up your dryer model on line for the maximum safety run. Use a type "A" termination hood rather than Type "B' for 50% more opening door flapper;http://www.appliance411.com/faq/dryer-vent-length.shtml
No flex pipe, screws, or pitch; metal smooth-walled pipe only: http://www.hcpdc.com/pdf/Dryer%20Ven...quirements.pdf
Exit hood 3' minimum from other openings (door, window, fresh-air intakes) to building as per code.
Middle of the house is the worst place for a location for a dryer.
Our dryer is in the middle of the house, our vent used to run horizontaly all the way through the attic to the end of the house. When I replaced my roof in the spring, I ran a new vent straight up through the roof and did a goosneck with two 4" adjustable 90's, works great.
To the OP, can you run your vent up through the roof?
Appliance411 FAQ: How long can my dryer vent be? Maybe this will help your decision....scroll down to see mfg. details and specs.
Code here is 20' and 1 elbow. The only way it can be longer is if the manufacturer allowes it and we need to prove that with specs to the inspector. 35' is way to long.
I know this isn't what you asked, but have you taken a good hard look at the washer too. Does it have the proper hoses (not the old black rubber ones), a pan with drainage, or any warning system if there is a leak?
I'm no expert, but if the PO installed the dryer like this, it makes me wonder what kind of a job he did on the washer.
I know it's a lot more convenient to have them upstairs, but between the major repair $$$ a leaking washer can cause, and the potential CO issues of a gas dryer, I would give serious consideration to moving them both back to the basement.
Edited to add: Welcome to the forum, too! I was born and raised in Lake County.

For two years, the issue debt crisis dominated in politics and the media. It has been discussed, criticized and judged but it gradually is changed. It is time to draw a balance sheet once. What has been achieved in recent years? After two years, between apocalyptic fantasies, the subject debt crisis is no longer criticized so much in the media.
The strategy of the European governments concerning the handling of the euro crisis is widely criticized but often it is with unfounded arguments or comparisons. It raises a question. What policy the past two years, which be assessed?
In early 2010 it was decided to Greece, which is known for its fragile banking system. This was an attempt to gain time, both for the various deficit countries, and in regards to the banks. It was successful in that there are substantial liquidity problems again in the financial markets. These are different problems as in Italy and Spain, and solvency problems, as in Greece. Greece remains a special case, and its reorganization will require 15 to 20 years. Of course, not only the administrative apparatus must be completely redesigned.
Likewise, is for adjustment processes, it comes to the reduction of wages and prices, because they require a national consensus between the political and the social partners. The fate of the leaders in the deficit countries, and the social changes is to countries to continue on the path of excessive debt. The key for further policy development and design knowledge from the market reaction, it is a creditor participation.

The same goes and for institutional development with the New Fiscal Deal. One side rated the bailout policy of the past two years as a failure of the European idea. Perhaps such a statement will find its supporters. Of course, things should not be considered biased, and they must be adopted in its full entirety.
On the other hand, this process can also be understood as an opportunity. Because of the situation, developments and reforms, which have been initiated. Otherwise, they might never have come about. Even if no one can tell, whether the measures lead to success.

Ceiling Nailers?
I am working on finishing my basement, and will start drywalling soon. Is it necessary to have nailers along the walls so there is something to screw the ends of the drywall panels to? Or is it sufficient to use the wall panels to support edges of the ceiling panels? What is the best way to do this? Thanks.
So if I have already framed the walls, how do I add the nailer? Or what is the best method of doing what needs to be done at this point?
It depends on how you framed the walls, where your joists are, etc...

Today's NYTimes Op-Ed Illo
Today's NYTimes Op-Ed Illo
Here's my contribution to the $300 illustration pool.
I've always liked working for the Op-Ed page, the mixture of challenging topics with a crunchy deadline just appeals to me (usually a few hours, this one was overnight though). On top of that the art directors I've worked with over there, and there have been a few, have traditionally been some of the best in the field, and Aviva is no exception. They seem to just get it and are willing to fight for your ideas with the powers that be...
Anyhow, here's the brief for this one: a story about the fourth amendment (part of the Bill of Rights) which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, along with requiring any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause.
The Fourth Amendment hasn't been this weak in nearly a century. The Obama Administration petitioned the Supreme Court to allow GPS tracking of vehicles without judicial permission. The Supreme Court ruled that police may break into a house without a search warrant if, after knocking and announcing themselves, they hear what sounds like evidence being destroyed.

Susan Fleming
In her most recent body of work, Japanese Chiyogami papers are the focus of artist Susan Fleming's pieces. These hand-silkscreened papers originate from designs used in woodblock prints popularized in the Edo period. They are based on the bright kimono textiles that were seen on the fashionable women in the larger cities, such as Kyoto, where the techniques for dying cloth were quite sophisticated. Today, these vibrant decorative papers are used by artists in very diverse ways. Fleming extracts small scenes from these papers to create earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, and belt buckles. All pieces are sterling silver and the paper is completely protected under a layer of waterproof resin. All of Susan Fleming's work is fabricated in her Jackson, Wyoming studio.

Food recalls are often featured on local or national news broadcasts, and your grocery store should con rm that recalled food is removed from shelves. Your store may have people to answer questions, too. Recall information can also be found by going to BigY.com. Big Y will post all recalls regarding products that we carry.
Q: Who Issues Recalls?
A: In most cases the product manufacturer or producer initiates a recall in cooperation with the federal agency of jurisdiction. Almost all food recalls are voluntary actions, since, except for infant formula, federal regulatory agencies cannot mandate a recall.
Q: Who regulates food products?
A: The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) inspects and regulates meat and poultry products, and pasteurized egg products that are produced in federally-inspected plants. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates all food products not regulated by the FSIS, including pasteurized egg products after the product leaves the processing plant.
Q: How are potentially unsafe food products discovered?
A: The manufacturer or distributor may identify the problem and voluntarily inform FSIS or FDA that a potentially unsafe food product has been placed into commerce.
- FSIS, the FDA, or a state or local regulatory agency may discover potentially unsafe food products during sample testing or routine inspections.
- Other Federal agencies like the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) or Department of Defense (DoD) may report a potential health problem to FSIS or FDA.
- Most symptoms of foodborne illness do not occur until hours or even days after consuming contaminated food. So, it is difficult to determine if a speci c food product is unsafe.
- Consumers may notify their local public health departments or report directly to FSIS, FDA or another government agency.
Q. How do I report a suspected food safety problem?
A: Consumers can report adverse reactions related to food products by contacting:
- Your local Big Y
- Local Public Health agencies
- FDA information line: 1-888-SAFEFOOD
- USDA meat and poultry hotline: 1-800-MPHOTLINE (888-674-6854)
- FDA emergency number: 1-301-443-1240
Food Recall Terms
Class I recall:
Involves a dangerous or defective product that is reasonably likely to cause serious health problems or death. Example: raw ground beef found to be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.
Class II recall:
Involves a product that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
Class III recall:
Use of or exposure to the product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
Public Health Alert:
May be issued when FSIS has reason to believe that a meat or poultry product may be associated with human illnesses, but cannot identify a speci c product that should be recalled.
Market withdrawal:
Involves a product that is withdrawn from the market because it does not meet company quality special cations or it exhibits a minor infraction of regulatory requirements.
Establishment Number:
The establishment number directly connects a meat or poultry food product to the plant at which it was produced.

Black and white striped drapery fabric!
It took quite a bit of googling, but I tracked down fabric with eight inch, black and white, stripes. Now, I need to track down someone to make the drapes for me because I have never touched a sewing machine and don't know the first thing about making drapery panels.
Charlottesville folks, do you know a seamstress who makes window treatments for reasonable rates?

hi! can you please, please share where you found the horizontal stripe fabric? i have been scouring for hours w/ no luck. thanks so much!!!ReplyDelete
Ta da! It's a Braemore fabric, Sutton Stripe in the color "Domino". Be careful about ordering it without seeing the actual bolt. One year, "Domino" was a black and white striped fabric. The next year, the same color was a tan and black striped fabric. I found this out when I was flipping through books with an employee of a fabric store and we both came across "Sutton Stripe" in "Domino" and we had different fabrics.ReplyDelete

Crazy to stumble upon you! That fabric is FABULOUS. I absolutely adore striped draperies and make and sell them in my shop. On top of making my own line of drapes, i'm always happy to work with customers' fabric!
Send me a message if you're interested :)

text: HOUSTON, March 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Apache Corporation (NYSE, Nasdaq: APA) has received notification of an unsolicited "mini-tender" offer by TRC Capital Corporation to purchase up to 1.5 million shares, or approximately 0.38 percent, of Apache's outstanding common stock at $72.00 per share, which was 4.65 percent below Apache's closing share price on March 11, 2013, the day prior to the offer. Apache does not endorse TRC's offer and recommends that shareholders reject the offer and not tender their shares. This mini-tender offer is at a price below the current market price and is subject to numerous conditions. Apache is not associated in any way with TRC, its mini-tender offer or the offer documentation. TRC may terminate or amend its offer if, among other things, the market price of Apache stock declines, or if TRC fails to obtain financing necessary to consummate the offer. Apache urges investors to obtain current market quotations for their shares, review the conditions to the offer and consult with their broker or financial advisor. Apache shareholders who have already tendered are advised that, as described in TRC's Offer to Purchase document, they may withdraw their shares prior to the expiration of the offer, which is currently scheduled at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday, April 11, 2013, unless extended. Mini-tender offers are designed to seek to acquire less than 5 percent of a company's outstanding shares, thereby avoiding many disclosure and procedural requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission that apply to tender offers for more than 5 percent of a company's outstanding shares. As a result, mini-tender offers do not provide investors with the same level of protections as provided by larger tender offers under United States securities laws. TRC has made similar, unsolicited mini-tender offers for shares of other publicly-traded companies. On its website, the SEC states that mini-tender offers "have been increasingly used to catch investors off guard. Many investors who hear about mini-tender offers surrender their securities without investigating the offer, assuming that the price offered includes the premium usually present in larger, traditional tender offers. But they later learn that they cannot withdraw from the offer and may end up selling their securities at below-market prices."

Re: "dereference" variable
With, Module, BlockTodd Johnson posted a question at:
The example he provided was convoluted.
Instead I will give simple examples that might show how to solve his problem.
Module creates local variables which are given local values. The local variables take on the specified values only after they evaluate. In the following example Hold prevents the local variable from evaluating, and this is normally not the desired result. In the output below the local variable is (s$5).
In[1]:= M1[x_]:= Module[{s=x+3}, Hold[x,s^2] ];
Out[2]= Hold[z, s$5+4]
With[{s=val},expr] replaces each instances of (s) in (expr) with (val). This replacement is made before (expr) has a chance to evaluate. I think Todd Johnson's problem will be solved if he uses With instead of Module.
In[3]:= M2[x_]:= With[{s=x+3}, Hold[x,s^2] ];
Out[4]= Hold[z,(3+z)+4]
Note: When using With[{s=val}, expr] the value of (s) is (val) inside the With statement and you can't change it inside the With statement. On the other hand when using Module[{x,y}, expr] you can change the values assigned local variables (x,y) as much as you want during evaluation of (expr).
Then there is Block[{x=0,y=y0}, expr] which evaluates (expr) with temporary values assigned to x, and y. You can also use Block[{x,y}, expr ] to evaluate (expr) with no values assigned to x, and y. Another thing about Block that isn't documented is that it temporarily clears any attributes of the affected symbols. It clears the attributes even if they were Protected (you don't need to Unprotect they symbols first).
So for example in the next line the pattern matches. This is because Plus has the attributes Flat and Orderless. These attributes allow the pattern matcher to regard Plus[x,b,z] as Plus[b,Plus[x,z]].
In[5]:= MatchQ[Plus[x,b,z],Plus[b,_]]Out[5]= True
In the next line the pattern doesn't match because Block supresses all attributes of Plus.
In[6]:= Block[{Plus}, MatchQ[Plus[x,b,z],Plus[b,_]]]
Out[6]= False
Alos in the next line we give (foo) the Orderless attribute inside Block. You will notice (foo) is only Orderless inside the Block.
In[7]:= Block[{foo},Attributes[foo]={Orderless};foo[z,a,x]]
Out[7]= foo[a,x,z]
For more on this stuff see:
You could also open my Tricks notebook at
And see my sections on Evaluate and Unevaluated.
For more on working with unevaluated expressions see the notebook at
But beware that the syntax of some features such as ReplacePart is different in Mathematica 6 than it was when that notebook was written.

Thanks to recent technological advances, the cost of electricity generation from renewable sources has plummeted over the last few years. Wind energy is already cheaper than any other form of electricity generation on average, and both utility-scale PV solar and geothermal energy have reached grid parity, according to financial advisor Lazard.1
Lazard, September 2014
The solar industry offers a stark example of the plummeting cost of renewables. The price of solar panels dropped by 80% from 2008 to 2012.2
Bloomberg, September 2012
National Renewable Energy Laboratory, October 2013
However, the cheapest form of electricity – and the cleanest – is the one that's not generated. According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, it costs U.S. utilities an average of $0.028 to save a kW/h of electricity. That's anywhere from 50% to 66% less than the average cost to generate a kW/h of electricity.4
American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, March 2014
$0.038 per kW/h: The cost of solar generated at a 100 MW solar plant in Nevada. That's the cheapest utility-scale solar deal in the U.S.
$0.046: Cost per kW/h saved through utility-funded energy efficiency measures from 2009-2013.
24%: Reduction in wholesale electricity prices this winter in New England thanks to energy efficiency.
Wind Energy: The cheapest source of electricity in the U.S. -- with or without subsidies.
$34 million: The annual economic benefits that net-metering brings to Arizona ratepayers.
24%: Amount of savings returned for every $1.00 spent on energy efficiency measures in Pennsylvania.
$230 billion: Amount saved on utility bills thanks to the federal Energy Star energy efficiency program.
54 gigawatts: Amount of offshore wind energy the U.S. can add by 2030 without significantly raising electricity rates.
11%: Decline in the price of distributed photovoltaic solar installations in 2013.
$500 million: Money saved by Massachusetts ratepayers thanks to the Green Communities Act.
$1,000,000.00: Annual reduction of electricity bills for Fort Hays State University in Kansas, thanks to two wind turbines just off campus.
$55 billion - $93 billion: The expected health benefits of the EPA's 111(d) carbon regulations by 2030.
2.1 cents per kW/h: The average price of wind energy PPAs in the Midwestern U.S. in 2013.

soft top problem
I'm a proud new owner of a 97 TJ... however, I have a problem with the soft top. On the way home with my new purchase...the top came loose in the front above the windshield and started to blow back toward the rear of the vehicle.
I stopped and tucked it above the roll bar till I got home. I put it back in place in the slot above the windshield....it is on like a thick round bar. It appears that once in place you should be able to twist this bar down flush with the top of the windshield. Mine doesn't go down that far....
I'm wondering is this what it is supposed to do...it has like two hinges that go inside the round bar...are these springs..could they be sprung not allowing the bar to go all the way down flush on top the windshield frame...The front edge of the soft top when in place sticks up about 1 1/2 to 2'' above the windshield frame...
Thanks Bill
The front of the soft top is held to the windshield with two clamps. Two levers draw the clamps up to draw the front down to the top of the windshield frame. Find those two clamps and lift them up so they clamp the top down properly.
If that isn't what's wrong, take a few photos and post 'em or send them to me and I'll help you figure out what's wrong.
i'm not really sure what you are describing. some pictures would be great...it almost sounds like you don't have the factory soft top, but something like the halp tops use with a header bar and the front edge of the top slides into it.
Ref: soft top problem
Thanks for the info...I will get some pictures tomorrow and post them...there are no levers on the windshield frame or anywhere...mine sounds like the one described with the hard plastic lip on the front of the soft top...it fits into a slot along the bar above the windshield... but it seems that the bar should then roll down onto the windshield frame but it will not go all the way down... I will try and post some pictures tomorrow....
Thanks Bill
It's obvious now that you have an aftermarket top, too bad because the factory soft top is such a great design.
Sounds like your top fits more like a bikini with the channel or like the old style CJ/YJ tops fit.
soft top probem fixed
Thanks to all, problem with soft top fixed. I got looking..it is a bestop...the front bar that goes across top of windshield has two lockdown brackets on it. It looks like a hinge but it isn't. There is a bolt in each side...i unbolted each side an all it has is a big lip that goes in a slot in the top of the windshield...I removed those and the bar then layed down flat on top of the windshield...I put the plates back on the bar..with the lip inside the windshield frame and put the two bolts back in...slipped the black plastic lip from the top back in the groove and then slid the bars behind the front seat back up to tighten the roof and draw the top tight....it is perfect now.
I guess whoever put the top on didn't know how it was supposed to work...just like me..lol.
Thanks everyone....now to work some more on the turn/hazard light problem...think I'll take someone's advice and tear out the alarm system that doesn't work and see what happens..
Thanks ...
Bill ..in Jacksonville Fla.

text: SAN DIEGO, Aug. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ADVENTRX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ANX) today announced that Santosh J. Vetticaden, M.D., Ph.D., will join the Company as Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President. Dr. Vetticaden has more than 25 years of experience in drug development and medicine. His experience spans a variety of therapeutic areas, including anticoagulation, hemophilia, anti-infectives and rheumatology/inflammation. He has directed and managed the clinical development of both large and small molecules, from protocol design to execution of multi-center, global clinical trials. Dr. Vetticaden has held several senior level positions leading drug development across phase 1 through phase 4 trials at biotech and large pharmaceutical companies. Most recently, he served as Senior Vice President and Chief Medical and Development Officer at Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc., where his tenure was highlighted by successful phase 2 trials and advancing multiple drugs into phase 3. At Cubist, he also played a significant role in the development and execution of new business strategy that resulted in significant product pipeline expansion. Prior to joining Cubist, Dr. Vetticaden was Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Maxygen, Inc., where he had responsibilities and oversight for clinical development and regulatory affairs for all of the company's development programs, including Maxy-VIIa, which he progressed from the non-clinical stage through a phase 1 study in hemophilia, resulting in its outlicense to Bayer. Before Maxygen, he held senior roles in drug development at Scios, Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, Aventis Pharmaceuticals (now Sanofi) and the Whitehall-Robins Healthcare division of American Home Products Corporation (now Pfizer). Dr. Vetticaden has a Ph.D. in the areas of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics from Virginia Commonwealth University; a M.D from the University of Maryland and completed a residency in internal medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine. "I have been closely involved in the development and lifecycle management of several transformative products, including Lovenox®, Cubicin®, Xarelto®, and Natrecor®, and I look forward to playing a key role in successful development of ANX-188, which has the potential to treat many serious and life-threatening diseases and conditions," said Dr. Vetticaden. "With the phase 3 study in sickle cell disease anticipated to begin this year, joining ADVENTRX is an opportunity to have a potentially transformational impact in the treatment of diseases and conditions associated with microvascular dysfunction."

City Start-Ups Reveal Office Spaces' Open Future
"Open offices" — workplaces where even CEOs sit not behind closed doors but in large, sunlit rooms with their colleagues — aren't just for start-ups anymore. They've been embraced by everyone from city government to academia. Mayor Michael Bloomberg sits in a "bullpen" in City Hall and the forthcoming CornellNYC Tech Campus is opting for an open floor plan.
But despite their "new economy" veneer, an open office floor plan is hardly a recent innovation. In fact, according to Margaret Serrato, a workplace strategist at Herman Miller, it's been around for more than a century.
"If you look at images from offices from the 1880s, 1890s, all the way up through probably 1940, you'll see that everybody worked out at big tables," Serrato said. Some owners would have their own office, but, Serrato added, more often, they'd simply have a roll-top desk to lock up the payroll at night.
The return to open offices has a corollary in the disappearance of the cubicle. "We're not even using the word cubicle anymore," Serrato added. One reason? "Cubicles imply a boundary on four sides of you. And the way that we're seeing workstations today is there's no real boundary."
Many of the reasons businesses are returning to this open space model are similar to those in the past. Removing doors and walls allows more people to be packed into the same space. Without "window offices" hogging all the sunlight, those spaces also have lower heating and electricity bills. The result is more "sustainable," both economically and environmentally.
But the ubiquity of open offices in the world of digital technology start-ups is also related to the nature of the work.
"Our industry requires a much greater degree of collaboration and invention than many others do," said Jonathan Basker, director of people at Betaworks. The company helped launch companies like Bit.ly and Tweetdeck. "I think that has led a lot of us to prize collaboration over focus in terms of how we design the spaces —for better and worse."

The better is that it facilitates constant communication between members of a team. This is of particular importance for start-ups, where the team can be the only constant.
Take Reddit, for example. It's a social news site for techies. But the founders' original idea was to order food using text messages. (That kind of dramatic turn is so common in the industry it has its own buzzword: "pivoting.")
But there are downsides to the open office as well — chiefly, constant noise and distraction.
The technological solution to this is simple: headphones. "Noise cancelling headphones is not just for the airplane anymore," Gilt CIO Steve Jacobs said. He likes to listen to Philip Glass when he needs to focus; Gypsy Kings when he needs to crank out brainstorming ideas. AppNexus, an advertising technology company, went so far as to buy Beats headphones for every employee, sporting the company's brand.
But sometimes, headphones are not enough.
"There were a couple teams inside engineering that wanted a little bit more quiet space," said AppNexus co-founder Mike Nolet. "And so we actually have an extra office space on the sixth and a half floor." They also have soundproof "phone booths" on the main floor.
These workarounds seem to suggest weaknesses to a fully open approach. But workplace strategist Margaret Serrato believes the pendulum will not be swinging back to individual offices any time soon. She predicts that offices will get only more collaboration-oriented. In fact, she believes that by 2020, fully half of any corporate office will be dedicated to the collaborative workspaces she terms "we space" instead of "me space."
It's not just that work is increasingly collaborative — at least in the knowledge-based, service industries — though Serrato believes this is the case. It's also that for purely individual work, going to "the office" is increasingly unnecessary.
"You don't even have to get out of bed," Serrato said. "You just get your laptop and that's it."
