I hate reflux.
The cool new drug to try around here for tube fed kids is Elavil. Supposed to work on the pain receptors in the gut or something like that? Anyone try it? My DD's feeding team keeps talking about it, but then the gi docs give it a wave of their hand and want to try the same drugs that did not help the last three times we tried them! We have done a blended diet for the last two years, and she is just not growing. So I broke down and tried the formula they were pushing on us. I immediately regret that decision. Hello, daily retching! Anyway, let me know if anybody has the miracle cure! I got sucked into vitamin Shoppe. Currently trying aloe vera water for the heck of it. Pretty sure it's also not the miracle cure. Sounds soothing though, right?
Registered Users
Re: I hate reflux.
Interesting about the Elevil. I have heard nothing about it to be honest. I'm sorry, I know it sucks. There really is no good way to determine how to treat GI kiddos. They treat them with what is most probable to help them but if they have complex problems their bodies do not always react the way the doctor thinks it should. As for pain, we use a combination of Motrin, Carafate and Tylenol with Codeine to manage gut pain.
Yes, sometimes you can't win. I weaned ds off of Reglan in March because of how well he was doing and now it seems the medical repercussions from taking him off his motility meds are going to be severe. I have put him back on Reglan but we can't stop his rectal bleeding. He keeps bleeding from the slightest strain and I might have to have a surgeon remove the rest of his anus (already disconnected since he has a colostomy). I could cry my son is probably going to lose a piece of his body and put through inpatient surgery because of a decision I made. We are still working on sorting things out but the bleeding has been going on for 6 weeks with occasional skipped day here or there.
Registered Users
That sounds super frustrating. I hope your team can find a way to avoid the surgery. These meds are heavy stuff and it stresses me out to think about it all.
Registered Users
We avoided surgery with a GJ. We feed through the J and put a tube with a catheter bag attached to drain the G side, which keeps the tummy empty, so there is not anything to reflux up.
We were opposed to a Nissen. We had several friends with major complications from theirs. Plus, DS is from a family of substance abuse addicts. Him being drunk and not being able to vomit later in life was a very real concern to me.
Luckily, our Developmental Ped avoids them at all possible costs. They do the GJ with a drain most of the time instead. You put the j in while kiddo is awake in radiology and it is minimally invasive. DS got his at 18 months and had weaned off the drain while he was awake by 2.5 years old, and while askeep by 3. He only needs it when he is sick now at 3.5 years old.
I would beg your GI/Dev. Ped to do a trial with a J. It is non-invasive to put it in. You go to Radiology, a radiologist does this magic thing of snaking it down into the intestines first with a wire, then with the tube (they use your current G hole, so if it doesn't work, you just pull it out and do a button change just like you would at home).
What formula are you on? DS did great on Elecare, and now in Peptamin Jr.
DS had a major reaction to Reglan. He still has tremors from it.
We are down to 15 mg of Prilosec and no motility aids now.

Around here the docs almost automatically do a fundo with the g-tube. I hate her fundo and I wish it would just bust open already. We tried Compleat for a week but she just can't tolerate it. So we're back to the blended diet. My dh and I are totally disagreeing with everything to do with her feeding also. That is stressful. I think it's a problem that she has been gaining and losing the same 3 pounds for two years, he thinks she will just grow someday. And he is anti formula. The ingredient list really supports his case when the first two ingredients are water and corn syrup! I would hate to get a j-tube cuz that would mean back to the pump. And honestly, I didn't see a difference with reflux when we went from continuous to bolus feeds so I would like to stay with bolus. Will def. stay away from reglan, though! I feel like the gi docs here just accept that reflux is a part of life and aren't very proactive with fixing it. I hate that I hate feeding my kid!

PS, I found a great exchange site on facebook-just called medical supply exchange. I got some Duocal ffs and gave away all the extension tubes that were the wrong size for us. I still have an entralite infinity pump, backpack and charger. We haven't used it for 2 years and I know there are lots of people who are desperate for one of these. Let me know if any of you great ladies would want it ffs. I promise I'm not committing insurance fraud-I'd put it on eBay for $200 if I had no morals!

Houston, Texas (November 15, 2012) -- Haddington Ventures, L.L.C. announced today that it has closed its latest private equity fund, Haddington Energy Partners IV, LP (HEP IV), with total committed capital of nearly $350 million targeted for investments in midstream energy infrastructure.
According to senior managing partner Chris Jones, HEP IV is targeting conventional midstream opportunities and is seeking to invest in experienced midstream management teams with proven track records of success in entrepreneurial environments.
"HEP IV clearly demonstrates Haddington's commitment to building infrastructure in the midstream energy business by investing in entrepreneurs with the skills to create and grow world-class midstream projects and companies," Mr. Jones said. "These management teams require strong leaders able to drive strategic company visions, create and manage highly capable organizations, and integrate strong operating capabilities. HEP IV targets management teams to both develop or acquire and optimize a wide variety of midstream infrastructure."
"HEP IV closed at nearly double the size of HEP III, which served to diversify Haddington's investor base significantly," said Terry Crikelair, Managing Partner of Champlain Advisors, LLC, who served as exclusive placement agent. "We were pleased with the strong interest from several new investors along with the continued support from the existing investor base."
Haddington has raised nearly $700 million of equity capital since its formation in 1998. Currently, one third of Haddington's management teams are repeat portfolio company management teams from prior Haddington funds.
Haddington's senior partners are all former successful midstream entrepreneurs and operators; their prior entrepreneurial backgrounds have since been supplemented with a lengthy history of working together as fund managers at Haddington. This unusual combination of backgrounds allows Haddington to bring a wealth of midstream contacts and experiences to its portfolio company teams, along with a proven track record of successfully sponsoring midstream asset acquisition and development teams.
The participating investors in HEP IV include insurance companies, public and private pensions, endowments, bank holding companies and high net worth individuals.
Greenwich, CT-based Champlain Advisors, LLC, a global fund placement and investor relations advisory firm, served as Haddington's exclusive placement agent in raising HEP IV.

The General Services Administration has shuttered 37 data centers this fiscal year, avoiding real estate costs and reducing energy consumption, the agency reported.
The closures meet GSA's stated goal of closing 32 percent of its non-core data centers in fiscal 2013 as part of the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI).
And all IT offices and staff within the agency are now consolidated in a new GSA IT office under the leadership of GSA CIO Casey Coleman, instead of having several CIOs serving each individual line of business or having IT staff reporting into a different program office. IT contracts also will be managed by the GSA IT office, eliminating redundancies. A centralized IT office will improve access to technology services, GSA officials said.
"Closing data centers are an important part of GSA's efforts to shrink the federal footprint," Coleman said in a statement. Coupled with the agency's new coordinated IT operations, using technology to do more with less when it comes to data centers will make GSA a model of how to provide efficient, effective and transparent service, Coleman said.
Launched three years ago, FDCCI is moving beyond metrics and focusing on technologies that are proven to drive down IT costs, according to industry experts. Set up by then-federal CIO Vivek Kundra, FDCCI is intended to curb data center proliferation, which had led to low usage of individual agency centers and runaway IT energy consumption across government.
As part of the initiative, the Obama administration plans to close 40 percent of non-core federal data centers by 2015. Agencies that have embraced data center consolidation are now reporting significant savings in IT capital expenditures, operating budgets, payroll and facilities costs, according to industry observers.

Was there any information provided, with supporting evidence that can be independently verified, that describe the costs incurred to execute the shutdowns and measured savings? I would be particularly interested to see a breakdown of migration costs, costs to modify legacy applications to work in the consolidated environment, staff training costs and any costs associated with upgrading applications & middleware to achieve compatibility with the new data center's common infrastructure platforms.

Santa Rosa Beach's Angela Ragsdale says that giving of yourself begins with needs closest to you, and then should extend further.
Ragsdale and her husband, Mike, have founded the 30A Charity Golf Classic, which will donate 100 percent of its proceeds going to charity � one local and one global.
The founding of the golf classic rises from Angela's commitment to raising $20,000 for the Global Seva Challenge, which is focused this year on the issue of environmental justice in the Amazon. Monies raised will go towards helping preserve the Amazon rainforest and protecting the rights of its people.
Off the Mat, Into the World is a worldwide grassroots activation of the yoga community connected through the Global Seva Challenge and the Global Mala Projectto to save energy, and cut down on carbon dioxide emissions and waste.
Ragsdale has taught yoga since 2009, presently at The Studio at Seaside. Ragsdale said what spurred her to sign up and commit to raising $20,000 was the empathy that arose in hearing the stories of the Ecuadorians who need help.
"I can't imagine being a mother and knowing that your homeland is being wiped out and tribes being asked to leave their homes. They don't want to be relocated. I correlate it to our American Indians. I feel badly for those people and their heritage. Some towns are committing community mass suicides. Being a mom of four, I could not imagine ...," she said.
Even though she committed to raise the money first, it then sank in that she didn't know how she would do that.
"We knew it would have to be on a bigger scale," she said. "People aren't just going to give you their money."
A friend who golfs suggested having a golf tournament. While Ragsdale doesn't know anything about golf, she said her role is to get the people together. The golf classic will benefit both Off the Mat and Shelter House in Fort Walton Beach.
"This is the first time I have done anything like this," she said. "It's a fun way to bring the community together and go beyond yoga.�
The inaugural 30A Charity Golf Classic will be held Oct. 19 at Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Player check in will be at 7:30 a.m. Complimentary snacks will be served along the course, 30A Beer carts will make the rounds selling cold beer, and lunch will be available.
Food is being donated by Bistro Bijoux, Stinky's, Grayton Beer Company, The Pearl, The Vue on 30A, La Playa, The Red Bar, and Louis Louis.
Cost is $150 per player, or $500 for a team of four.
The winning team will receive donated prizes from local businesses.
"I feel that benefiting these two charities is the fundamentals of kindness and compassion," said Ragsdale.
For more information on Off the Mat, Into the World's platform, see www.offthematintotheworld.org. For more information about Shelter House Domestic Violence Shelter and its programs visit www.shelterhousenwfl.org.
"We need people to sign up, players, prizes, and food," said Ragsdale. "It will be fun, not typical."
The Seva Challenge Fundraising total to date is $77,430. Funds for the 2013 Global Seva Challenge benefit environmental justice efforts in the Amazon.
To register for the inaugural 30A Gold Classic, call 267-1240. To donate a prize email email@example.com.

|Laptop Fitting Guide
| Measure your laptop.
Like TVs, laptops are listed by their measurement on the diagonal. Bags, on the other hand, are measured on the edges. Not all 17" laptops are the same size, so you'll need to measure the length & width of your closed laptop.
"But my laptop is at home, ThinkGeek!"
If you can't wait, Google has superpowers to tell you the dimensions of your laptop if you ask it nicely. Just input the make and model of your laptop and ye shall receive.
"I've got the measurements! Now what?"
Compare your laptop's measurements to the measurements of the bag. If the laptop's measurements are smaller than the bag, it fits! If one or more of the laptop's measurements are bigger, you're out of luck with this bag. Try another.

Car Review
2013 Focus ST: New Car Review
What's New: The Ford Focus ST is an all-new performance trim of the Focus for 2013. It starts at $24,495.
Pros: Stealthy performance in a compact package; practicality of a hatchback configuration defies its reputation as a pocket rocket; more entertaining to drive than many big-engine muscle cars.
Cons: Pricier than a base Mustang; front wheel-drive is the only configuration will leave some enthusiasts cold; four door, but limited rear legroom.
What's New
Ford's value-oriented hatchback grows fangs: The $24,495 2013 Focus ST features a hot rodded EcoBoost engine, stiffer suspension, variable ratio steering which tightens up as the wheel is turned, and an anti-torque steer system which all but removes that annoying tugging sensation during hard acceleration.
While American driving enthusiasts have plenty of big-engine muscle cars to choose from, we've long been at a loss for entertaining, affordable ways to get around. The European paradigm of so-called hot hatches has inspired cult followings for cars like the Volkswagen GTI, the Subaru Impreza WRX, and the Mazdaspeed3, and Ford finally joins the fray with their Focus ST.
While lower end Focus models are oriented towards fuel economy and no-frills trim, the new ST is a charismatic contender in this field that aims to bring a bit of the Mustang magic to the oft-ignored area of the subcompact hatchback.
Comfort and Utility
The optional Recaro sport seats found on ST2-equipped models offer a stiffer and more supportive ride, but the Focus ST generally provides a welcoming interface for the driver. While European buyers will have the option of a wagon variant, American Focus ST shoppers will only be able to choose a 5-door hatchback version, which offers 23.8 cubic feet of storage behind the second row of seats. Though the Focus ST is plenty practical, most potential buyers will be more swayed by its on-road persona than its 5 passenger hauling capabilities or utilitarian potential.
Most of the Focus ST's technology is centered on making it a more involving driver car. From the EcoBoost engine, which features a volume boosting feature for a more spirited sound within the cabin to an active system that reduces torque steer, this 5-door hatchback, the Focus ST makes the most of its relatively light weight and advanced engine to provide a rewarding experience behind the wheel.
Performance and Fuel Economy
The Focus ST's direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine walks a tightrope between performance and fuel economy, and should strike a strong balance when official fuel economy figures are released. Producing 270 lb-ft of torque and 252 horsepower (a full 92 more hp than the standard Focus), the ST engine can only be mated to a six-speed manual transmission-suggesting that only true performance fanatics need apply. Expect to hit 60 mph in the low six-second range when piloting the Focus ST.
NHTSA and IIHS ratings have yet to be released for the Ford Focus ST, but the standard Focus achieves an IIHS top rating of "Good" in all categories except right leg/foot injury measurements, where it scores "Acceptable."
The Focus ST comes equipped with front and rear head airbags, dual front and rear side-mounted airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, and various other safety features including electronic brake force distribution and tire pressure monitoring.
Driving Impressions
The Focus ST's interior, especially when outfitted with the same optional Recaro sport seats we enjoyed in our test vehicle, offers a functional, nicely finished cabin for five passengers. The button-intensive center stack leaves a relatively blank space on the passenger dashboard side, but this car is all about the driver's big analogue gauges, leather wrapped steering wheel, and sporty shift knob.
Launch the ST off the line, and much of this front-drive car's torque steer feels mitigated by the onboard electronics; despite its drivetrain layout, this Focus wastes no time revving to its 6,500 rpm redline. Under our wet conditions, there was some wheelspin as we charged hard through the powerband, but the steering feel is strong enough to bolster feelings of driver confidence. There's a good amount of feedback coming through the steering wheel, and its center-seeking characteristics lend the Focus ST a spritely feel as it negotiates curves. Though the engine's lively intake note makes its way into the cabin, it never gets loud enough to become annoying.
Thanks to its enthusiastic acceleration, responsive handling, and composed yet spirited road manners, the Focus ST succeeds at distinguishing itself among older entries in the performance-oriented hatchback class.
Other Cars to Consider
Volkswagen GTI: The $23,995 Volkswagen GTI is a tried and true contender in this segment, and while its turbocharged, 200 horsepower 4-cylinder is trumped by the Focus ST's 247 hp EcoBoost powerplant, the GTI's feeling of austere German solidity offers its own unique allure amidst a sea of competitors.
MazdaSpeed3: This $24,000 Mazda's peaky 263 horsepower engine creates plenty of torque steer under hard acceleration, but it's exactly that sort of challenging dynamic that might draw buyers away from more composed rides like the Focus ST.
Honda Civic Si: The $22,355 Civic Si coupe has been losing ground to competitors lately, but it remains a Honda-which alone should help score it plenty of loyal fans who won't be dissuaded by some less than ideal characteristics.

Doctors use several approaches to help people with allergies: 1) test to see what the patient is allergic to; 2) advise the patient on ways to avoid the allergen as much as possible; 3) prescribe or recommend medication to relieve symptoms; 4) and give a long-term series of allergy shots (immunotherapy) if medication doesn't help. Although there is no cure for allergies, one of these strategies -- or a combination of them -- can usually provide relief from allergy symptoms.
To learn if acupuncture and homeopathy work for treating allergies, read alternative medications and allergies.

Terry's Glass Expanse
Using a glass desk can be fraught with challenges, especially when you want to keep your work surface clutter-free. Since this desk didn't come with a keyboard tray, Terry came up with an interesting solution to store his keyboard, mouse, and Trackpad. All in all, the result leaves a lot of free desk real estate, negating the use of another desk to do paperwork and reducing the overall footprint of this workstation.
Terry Chay is a software architect who works for Automattic, the company that developed Wordpress led by Matt Mullenweg. He currently lives in San Francisco and this is where his home office is located.
His home office uses a few Mac computers, including a recent iMac 27" with a secondary 24" Apple Cinema Display, and a MacBook Air 13". He complements these with an iPad and iPhone to get the job done on the road. He is a photography enthusiast, as well as a software developer, so he had a need to store large amounts of data. In order to allow all of the computers on his home WiFi network to access the data, he uses a Synology DiskStation NAS with an added expansion drive. This gives him access to about 20TB of storage on the fly, which is always nice, especially when you need to access and store a lot of data.
His iMac and ACD use Ergotron MX Desk Mount LCD arms so that they are just in the right spot. To keep his desk somewhat free of clutter, he uses a Humanscale Freedom task chair, on which he mounted a keyboard rest. There's enough space to put his Apple Magic Trackpad and Razer wireless gaming mouse as well. This means that he can use a variety of different seating positions, while keeping somewhat away from the frosted glass IKEA Galant desk. The SOTO Rails keeps most of his cables out of view, as well as keeping his desk free of unwanted clutter.

Day 7: Get Your Get-Together Together - Date, Guests, Invites
Day 7: Thursday, January 10
Task: Plan Your Get-Together for the Weekend of February 1-3
Ok, see those lovely ladies sitting up there, toasting to the good life in a clean, organized room? Looks nice, right? Well, fast forward a few weeks and you and a few friends can be doing the same...in your just-completed-the-January-Cure home. Hosting a get-together is one of the best ways to celebrate your hard work this month and truly enjoy the fruits of your labor, so today is the day you make the plan and get your inviting underway...
Your end-of Cure celebration can be as big or small as you want it to be - from a mellow glass of wine with your BFF on Friday evening to a cozy Saturday night dinner for 4 to a relaxing Sunday brunch for six to elegant cocktails for 12 (or more!) - the size, time and style of get together is totally up to you. Maybe a movie night potluck is your style? A wine or dessert tasting? Games night? Clothes swap? An extended family dinner?
Whatever sounds fun to you, that will give you a good goal event to shoot for and some built-in time with friendly faces to share your success with is going to work! Often, when we haven't been feeling good about how clean or organized our homes are, we hesitate to share our space with friends but now, that excuse is out the window! Shake off your worries and know that you are getting so much done this month, you'll be in really good shape to relax and enjoy by the time February rolls around, and - a bonus! - that by having the get-together scheduled, it will be easier to stay on track and resist the slack..
Finally, if you are still hesitating, its important to remember that friends are happy to spend time with you and will be honored to be invited. In today's busy world, an invite to a gathering at someones home can be a rare thing and is always appreciated. No one will be inspecting your home - they'll be enjoying your company!
Today's Assignment:
Choose a date and time for a get-together at your home on the weekend of February 1 - 3 (or whatever date is best for your schedule near the start of February). Make up a guest list and send out the invites - paper or electronic is fine, just make sure you get going on the invites TODAY and get them out ASAP.
Tara (who is liveblogging the January Cure, as you know) put together this selection that she found while doing her own party planning and thought she'd share them with all of you who are thinking about sending traditional paper invites

Congressman Brian Higgins, a member of the Congressional childhood cancer caucus, spoke from the House Floor to recognize September as National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
In his remarks, Higgins highlighted the work of Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo in caring for young cancer patients. He urged his colleagues to support greater federal investments in cancer research.
The full text of Higgins' remarks is below:
"Mr. Speaker, I rise in support our children suffering the unthinkable as we recognize September as National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
"Cancer is the leading cause of death from disease among U.S. children over the age of 1. Moreover, cancer kills more children than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, AIDS, asthma and juvenile diabetes combined.
"There are many organizations doing good work to raise awareness, conduct research and treat children with cancer, including Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo who are working together in Western New York to cure our youngest cancer patients.
"Our children deserve to be cancer-free; they deserve the opportunity to be just kids and to have a full life; they deserve a cure. We owe it to them and their families to make it happen by supporting strong federal investments in cancer research - far beyond (what) we're doing today."
Higgins is a consistent voice for cancer patients in Western New York on Capitol Hill. Earlier this year, he stood with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network and Roswell Park to detail the local impact of sequestration and funding cuts on the medical research community. He testified before the House Budget Committee calling for the doubling of the nation's commitment to cancer research. Higgins also introduced H.R. 1801, bipartisan legislation that would ensure insurance parity for chemotherapy drugs.

Got the servo thing straightened out Timmay and the dual 7805s seem to be working fine. I've verified the "palm" switch and mobility detector <check>.
Now I just need to tie all the programming together to deposit the block in the box while staying on the table.
Currently the robot can move forward staying on the table (downward facing IR) and when he blunders into the palm switch it triggers the gripper. When the gripper is actuated and it "feels" something in its palm the gripper stays closed tight.
One thing I need to do is insert code to use the lower differential sonar to find the block and then once acquired use the higher swivel servo to find the box.

In Sundance Channel's intriguing miniseries "Restless," Charlotte Rampling stars as a former British spy in World War II who has been living under an assumed name for 30 years.
When Sally Gilmartin tells her daughter, Ruth (Michelle Dockery), about her past and that her real name is Eva Delectorskaya, it sets off doubts in Ruth's mind that she knows her mother at all.
And, as you can see in this clip from Part 2 of the miniseries, Sally begins to run her daughter as if she were a spy in order to secure the safety of both women.
Rampling gives Sally/Eva the manipulative skills and iciness that a spy on the run for 30 years would have. Under that steely surface, however, you see the love Sally feels for her family and just a trace of the pain she still carries after a betrayal from long ago.
It's a marvelous performance, and one for which Rampling deservedly received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination on Wednesday. It is her first SAG nomination in the category of Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries.
If you ask me, Hayley Atwell also should have been nominated for playing the young Eva/Sally. We'll see what happens at next year's Emmy awards.
"Restless" concludes at 8 p.m. Dec. 14 on Sundance Channel. Check out my review and photo/video gallery here. Visit the Sundance website for more.

More jobs on their way to Airbus' Flintshire factory
A deal dubbed the biggest single order in commercial aviation history will secure jobs at Airbus' Flintshire factory.
Bosses said it would create many more jobs at the Broughton site.
Indian budget airline IndiGo has signed a deal to buy 180 aircraft, the wings of which will be made at Broughton.
Unions representatives welcomed the news, saying it marks a change in the factory's fortunes as jobs hung in the balance a year ago.
A Broughton factory spokesperson confirmed new jobs would be created but could not say how many at this stage, adding that the posts would be filled when production was "ramped up" later in the year.
A union representative said new posts would be the "icing on the cake".
"Twelve months ago we were fearing that we would have redundancies," said Charlie Gregory, chair of the joint shop stewards council.
"Things have swung one way and the other. At this moment in time we want to keep what we have and get more stability - more jobs would be a bonus."
The order consists of 30 A320s and 150 A320neos, a more fuel-efficient aircraft.
Mr Gregory said the contract meant a lot of work for the factory, which makes 32 sets of wings a month, with four pairs made in China monthly.

Bobrovsky helps Columbus down St. Louis
Columbus, OH – Sergei Bobrovsky posted 31 saves to help the Columbus Blue Jackets take a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Blues on Friday.
Columbus has now won two straight in its attempt to get into the playoffs and at 43 points, the team sits two back of the Detroit Red Wings for the final spot in the Western Conference. Detroit lost in a shootout to Chicago on Friday.
Cam Atkinson had a goal and an assist, while Marian Gaborik, Ryan Johansen and Artem Anisimov all scored for the Blue Jackets, who defeated St. Louis for the first time in four attempts this season.
"We're a team that doesn't back down and we were able to come back from an early deficit to get the win," said Atkinson. "We played a full 60 minutes and that's what you need when you're fighting for a playoff spot."
Kevin Shattenkirk scored the lone goal for the Blues, who had a six-game winning streak snapped.
St. Louis came into the game off three straight shutouts by Brian Elliott, but Jake Allen got the start on Friday and gave up all four goals on 19 shots.
The Blues hold a two-point edge over Minnesota for the sixth spot in the conference.
"I think we've lived on a fine line for a while and it went against us tonight," said St. Louis head coach Ken Hitchcock. "They were able to out-work us in the corners and the past couple of games we were able to get away with it, but not tonight."
St. Louis took a 1-0 lead just 1:26 into the game as Shattenkirk's low shot from the right point went past Bobrovsky for his fourth goal of the season.
The Blue Jackets tied the game with 5:28 to play in the opening frame when Adrian Aucoin's shot from the right point was tipped by Matt Calvert then Atkinson before going into the net. The goal was reviewed to see if the puck was hit with a high stick and it was allowed to stand.
That goal broke St. Louis' scoreless streak at 215 minutes, 56 seconds, which surpassed the previous team record of 201:32, set last season from March 21-29.
In the second period, Columbus took a 2-1 lead at the 14:20 mark as Anisimov jammed the puck in from in front for his 11th of the year.
Just over four minutes later, James Wisniewski fired a shot on net from the left point that was tipped by Nick Foligno. Allen made the stop, but the rebound sat on the doorstep and Johansen jammed it in for a 3-1 lead.
Gaborik provided a three-goal edge just 1:21 into the third period with his 12th of the season and Bobrovsky stopped all nine shots he faced in the final frame.
Game Notes
St. Louis hosts Chicago on Sunday afternoon ... Columbus plays the next six games on the road, starting in Minnesota on Saturday ... Columbus went 0-for-1 on the power play, while St. Louis was 0-for-5 ... St. Louis has not allowed a power-play goal in nine straight games, killing off 20 penalties during that run.

The Central Connecticut baseball team dropped the series finale at Wagner on Sunday, falling 8-1, and is now 17-18 overall and 10-10 in Northeast Conference play. The Blue Devils are scheduled to play four non-conference home games next week, beginning with Stony Brook on April 23.
The Blue Devils managed just one hit in the Sunday loss, a one-out single from junior Dylan DelaCruz in the ninth inning. Wagner's Paul Mammino struck out five and walked just one to improve to 5-0 on the season.
Central's Casey Brown falls to 1-4 on the season, pitching 5.1 innings and allowing six runs on six hits. Just two of the runs were earned as the Blue Devils committed four errors in the game.
The Blue Devils scored their only run in the second inning, taking a 1-0 lead on an RBI groundout from junior Anthony Turgeon. Senior Tyler McIntyre had walked to lead off the inning and he scored on the play.
Wagner tied the game in the bottom of the inning, and then took the lead for good with a run in the third. They added four in the sixth and two in the seventh, leading to the 8-1 score.
The Blue Devils are back in action at home on Tuesday, hosting Stony Brook. They will also play home games this weekend vs. Fairfield and Iona. Their next conference games will come on Friday, May 3 when first-place Bryant visits New Britain.

I have a slightly infuriating problem.
I want to run polygenic to correct for relatedness on a trait with no covariates. Ordinarily, I'd run it like this:
Code: Select all
a <- polygenic(eGFR, data=data,kin=kin)
That works fine. However, I have a lot of these to run and I don't want to hard-code everything, so I've got a script that gets the trait to run as a string.
Code: Select all
traitName <- "eGFR"
Ideally I want to use the value of the traitName variable as the formula.
Code: Select all
> a <- polygenic(traitName, data=data,kin=kin)
Error in polygenic(traitName, data = df2, kin = gkin) :
dimension of outcome and kinship.matrix do not match
as.formula doesn't help me here as that needs a right hand side
Code: Select all
> as.formula(traitName)
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object 'eGFR_overall' not found
And using ~1 as a RHS doesn't work in polygenic:
Code: Select all
form <- as.formula(paste0(traitName, "~1"))
> a <- polygenic(form,data=df2,kin=gkin)
Error in polygenic(form, data = df2, kin = gkin) :
All covariates have only one value
I'm at my wits' end here. Does anyone know how to get around this?

10. THEATER: Busted: The Musical
Bianca Leigh is guilty of spotlight theft in her new show — first workshopped in 2010 as A Night at the Tombs — which returns and runs March 8-29 at New York's Laurie Beechman Theatre. Presented by Theatre Askew, the trans performer's engaging solo act, which features songs by Avenue Q's Jeff Whitty and others, muses on gender identity as it details her brief 1987 incarceration for solicitation. For tickets visit SpinCycleNYC.com.
9. Amy Ray, Lung of Love
The dynamic new solo album from the very
prolific Indigo Girl finds Ray continuing to evolve and here she
collaborates with other musicians for the first time in her 25-year
career. Ray also enlists numerous vocalists on Lung of Love, including Brandi Carlile on the come-to-Jesus-throwdown "The Rock Is My
8. WEB: Jack in a Box
Out star of MilkMilkLemonade (recognizable to many for his recent hilarious guest spot on 30 Rock, funnyman Michael Cyril Creighton won the Best Web Series Pilot award at the 2010 New York Television Festival for this indispensably uncomfortable tragicomedy, which is bitterly inspired by the cupcake addict's job at an off-Broadway theater box office. Following the online sitcom's February 28 third-season premiere, Creighton'll post a new episode every two weeks. Watch them here.
7. EVENT: Broadway Backwards 7
The seventh annual Broadway event that's custom-made for the LGBT folks and their friends. Some of the biggest names on Broadway will perform songs originally written for the opposite gender, but by keeping the lyrics intact, including the original pronouns, each song will take on a new dimension. The proceeds go to Broadway Cares.
March 5 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
6. MUSIC: Magnetic Fields, Love at the Bottom of the Sea
For their 10th studio album, out front man Stephen Merrit and bandmates return to their signature synth and acoustic sounds for yet another collection of infectious pop songs, including the standout tracks "Andrew in Drag" and "God Wants Us to Wait." See the band live when their U.S. tour begins March 6.
5. MUSIC: Idina Menzel, Live: Barefoot at the Symphony
The Rent icon delivers a memorable evening of song, which includes imaginative reworkings of modern tunes such as Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" and the Police's "Roxanne," which she cleverly combines with Cole Porter's "Love for Sale." And then there's anthemic "Defying Gravity" from Wicked — one of the great meetings of performer and song in Broadway's recent history. This concert — filmed at Toronto's historic Royal Conservatory of Music — will air on PBS Saturday, followed by an album, DVD, and digital download available Tuesday.
4. DVD: Happily Divorced: Season One
Fran Drescher gets to once again display her dazzling comic skills opposite John Michael Higgins in the first season of her TV Land sitcom (now on DVD) produced by her now-out ex-husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, and loosely based on their life together. Also, Drescher will earn her bona fides as an icon to the LGBT community when she officiates the weddings of three gay couples March 6 in New York City. Watch her answer your dating questions here.
3. DVD: The Skin I Live In
Pedro Almodóvar breaks away from the candy-colored kitsch that's the trademark of many of his best films with this baroque horror thriller (now on DVD) that reunites the auteur with his sexiest discovery, Antonio Banderas.

That's just the beginning of this complex, often witty, frequently shocking cinematic labyrinth.
2. PERFORMANCE: Miss Coco Peru: There Comes a Time
As a benefit for L.A.'s Gay and Lesbian Center, the relentlessly talented Peru will reprise her hit show from last spring in which she finds rich comic material in the memorial for her late pal Bea Arthur and her own her turn as the original Angel in the "backers' audition" of Rent.

Watch the trailer here.

AMA Orc Review
In the search for a new heat sink, users have many choices to keep an eye out for - price vs. performance, the aesthetics, noise generation, size, and so on. Everyone has different desires for their systems, but generally people like a good performing heat sink for a fair price and one that outperforms their stock heat sinks in one way or another. With the latest generation Intel and AMD processors, the high performance chips have maintained a high thermal envelope which requires a large heat sink to wick the heat away - especially if users want to overclock. Some users like to have good looking parts - some display them through side panel windows or other means, which is where AMA Precision INC comes into play. AMA creates products which look unique and very nice. Under review today is the AMA Orc of AMA's Mythic series that looks like it targets the World of Warcraft/fantasy crowd. Equipped with six heat pipes and green LED 120mm fan, the Orc looks like it should deliver good performance along with its looks and supports Intel LGA 775/1156/1366 and AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3. Hopefully this unique looking heat sink performs as good or better than it looks!
Closer Look:
When the package arrived, I was surprised by the box inside. The box is large, bigger than most heat sinks I've encountered, and the color scheme of black and red is also uncommon. The front of the box has an AMA logo at the top, Orc logo and pendant, along with another AMA logo at the bottom, with the front opening to reveal a flap with information across the inside and a peek at the heat sink. The inner flap describes details such as socket support, weight and size, accessories, and so on. Five pictures also give a good look at a few of the features of the heat sink.
Both sides have the AMA black and red logo on them, along with a partial smoky Orc pendant image in the background. Both sides are literally reflections of each other. Looks like the images are just filler, but the package as a whole looks good without anything on these sides.
The back has an exaggerated picture of the heat sink glowing, and in several languages, comments on the all-copper construction with six heat pipes. Four barcodes litter the bottom, along with different supported standards. The top has a larger AMA logo and seal. Opening the box reveals the heat sink fan shrouded by a two-piece formed enclosure.
At the bottom of the box - underneath the heat sink are the manual and accessories package. All of the accessories are protected inside a bag and the reinforced cardboard box they came in. The heat sink uses spring loaded bolts to attach to Intel motherboards, with a latch for AMD processors. LGA1156 mounting brackets are not included with this kit, but are planned to be on future releases. Thermal paste is included as well as a wrench to install the bolts easier. Everything needed to install this heat sink is included.
With everything unpacked, let's get acquainted with the Orc!

ACL tears are painful and can force players to miss whole seasons. A lot of players think they are a big deal, but not Corey Lewis.
Lewis, an offensive lineman with Illinois University played the entire 2013 season with an ACL tear according to reports.
Offensive tackle, Lewis has torn the ligament four times in his career and when he felt a problem during pre-season training, he just ignored it.
"I felt that if I could play, there was no reason to MRI it and get shut down if something came out of the MRI," said Lewis. "I just wanted to play my last season."
After two successful years with the Fighting Illini, during which he was awarded All-Big 10 academic honors, Lewis missed two and a half seasons with his knee problems.
He went through five surgeries in order to return for this season and help out his teammates.
Lewis' knee damage could put pay to a professional career, but he will be attending a pro day this year to lift weights and potentially be drafted by an NFL team.
If he is unsuccessful, Lewis already has a Masters degree and ambitions of being an Athletic Director one day.

The dry leaves smell of frosty mountain pines. Sweet, sour, citric almost like marmalade.
Although these leaves can handle hot water, one instead uses more leaf and lets the water temperature drop before pouring it into the pot.
The result is a smooth creamy, subtle chocolate soup, that is quite nutty. The mouth is covered in light silk, the breath is witness to its hidden chocolate and more overt nutty tones.
More infusions take place to round out its flavour. Making it fuller in the mouth, more nutty.
As infusions resume, hotter water is used which brings out more of the nutty profile. Faint chocolate is now long gone. The taste becomes more roasted.
One lightens up.

Crafting allows building items from certain components.
Fallout 3Edit
Scattered throughout the wasteland are notes called schematics. These can be picked up and read from your Pip-Boy from the Notes category in the Data section. Schematics contain information on how to build a custom-made weapon derived from junk parts that can be obtained throughout in the wasteland. Not only do they show you what parts make up the weapon, but they briefly describe how the weapon works and what it fires as well. You also can go to a workbench and select the weapon you want to build, and the game will tell you what you have and what you're missing to construct the weapon. Once you have all the necessary components, simply approach a workbench, activate it, and a menu will pop up with a list of weapons you know how to build. Select the weapon you wish to make and after a few clinking noises a note should pop up on the upper left corner of the screen stating you have created that weapon. Not only can you make traditional weapons, but also special grenades and landmines. In total there are 7 weapons you can make with schematics found in the wasteland. Each weapon has more than one schematic that can be found, with multiple copies generating the items in better condition (in the case of weapons) or generating greater quantities of the item (in the case of grenades and mines). Each weapon is unique in its own way and can be very fun to use--such as the Rock-It-Launcher, which can shoot just about any piece of junk you can find lying on the ground; or the Nuka-Grenade, which creates a large blast of flame that does devastating explosive damage, catches nearby enemies on fire, and causes radiation damage.
Fallout: New VegasEdit
Three basic types of objects in the world can launch the crafting interface: campfires, workbenches, and reloading benches. Each station allows the creation of a subset of items. Though many recipes are visible at any time in the game, some recipes will only appear when the player completes a quest or finds a special item. You may also find that certain companions or special locations can open special crafting interfaces for the player. Recipes have skill and ingredient requirements that must be met to proceed. If any requirement is darkened, that requirement has not been met. Any recipe that has all of its requirements fulfilled will appear fully lit. After using a recipe, the product(s) of the recipe will all immediately be available in your inventory.
Fallout 4Edit
Van BurenEdit
Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios, was to contain various research projects which could be completed by science-oriented characters.

Imagine traveling to Mars to meet your brother and earn a little cash to make ends meet, only once you get there he hands you a sledgehammer and tells you it's time to start breaking stuff in the name of saving the red planet. That's how Red Faction: Guerrilla starts. I saw it recently at a Las Vegas demo event, and it looks great. It does the sandbox thing remarkably well, but its real highlights come through when the buildings start crashing down to earth. Err, Mars.
Environmental destruction is what Red Faction: Guerrilla is all about, and while it's fun to kill time destroying buildings and romping through Mars (which has been supplied with some mighty nice dirt roads) your real goal is to take out the Earth Defense Force. As protagonist Alec Mason, you'll have plenty of opportunity to stick it to them, whether you're on a mission or on an impromptu demolition derby. Guerrilla sees the EDF morphed from the series' good guys into the oppressive rulers who have turned Mars into a police state. After joining your brother and the rest of the Red Faction, your job becomes to take out the EDF and build "colonist" morale at the same time. While killing EDF soldiers helps the Red Faction's cause, smashing the EDF's concrete and steel infrastructure works just as well, and is more immediately satisfying.
Indiscriminately running around and breaking stuff can be dangerous, however. The louder your tools of demolition, the quicker the EDF will respond to your destructive behavior. Whacking away at EDF structures with the standard-issue sledgehammer draws the least attention, whereas remote charges, mines and rocket launchers will definitely attract some heat. It was tempting for me to go wild with the hammer and smash through walls and girders as if they were made of peanut brittle, but I died more times than I'd care to admit by doing that. The usual cause of death? Buried by own handiwork as the structures collapsed on top of me.
Even so, a few embarrassing failures were a small price to pay, since it was extremely satisfying watching the physics model do its work as all those structures broke apart and collapsed. For example, as I sat back and admired my work after detonating an EDF tower with three remote charges, pieces of concrete and metal kept breaking off and falling into each other until the tower eventually crumbled, a process that took about 20 seconds to complete. Nothing like watching an enemy structure fold and fall into itself to make you feel like you've had a productive day.

Motor Authority is reporting — and sharing spy photos — of the forthcoming BMW 4-Series, which is anticipated to be unveiled at next year's Detroit Auto Show in January.
Sadly, news is short on this front at the moment with speculation and rumors coming from all corners of the web. From what we can piece together, the 4-Series isn't so much a new model line as it is a shakeup of current BMW lines. The 1-Series coupe will become the 2-Series and the 3-Series coupe will become the 4-Series (along with the current 3-Series convertible), bringing along with it an X4. The X4, unlike the current X3, will look more like a four-door crossover coupe (like the X6).
Drivetrain options are expected to remain the same, with an entry-level turbocharged four-cylinder and an optional turbocharged three-liter inline six-cylinder resting at the top of the range.
This reorganization of the BMW line is most likely driven by the same factors behind Mercedes-Benz expansion of its C Class line: to diversify the brand thereby attracting younger buyers.
Younger buyers seem to be the new focus for the German brands. With an aging buyer-base, German automakers are eager to attract more youthful demographics. VW simplified its offerings, making them cheaper and more youth-oriented in recent years, dropping the Jetta down to $15,500. Mercedes has plans to offer less expensive entry-level C Class. Porsche, too, will soon be drawing back the curtains on a new, cheaper coupe.
We will be sure to bring you all the upcoming 4-Series as information is revealed. We suspect, however, no new solid news will be available until a few weeks before the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
To see more spy photos of the 4-Series, check out the Motor Authority site.

tiva wrote:You might want to post over on the health page, and you should also consider joining the Yahoo group for mast cell tumors in dogs.
My Tiva has had mast cell tumors twice (both stage II, same as your dog), and she's still chugging along at age 16. MCT is NOT always a death sentence, and the survival rates are increasing all the time. THere are also TONS of new treatment options, particularly with advances in chemotherapy (which is much less painful for dogs than for people).
Here's a good overview: http://www.caninecancer.com/Mast.html
What you should consider doing right away:
1. Get the pathology report, if you haven't already. You need to know the mitotic index (ie, how active the cancer cells are at growing), and you need to know how clean and large the margins were
2. If the pathology report shows that the margins are clean and complete (ie, they got all the tumor out), stage II cancers are usually considered cured. So a good diet, with supplemental tumeric, CoEnzyme Q 10, and omega 3 fatty acids, are all great ideas, but chemo and additional surgery usually aren't recommended.
3. If the pathology report shows that the margins were not clean and large (ie, some of the tumor may still be in there), then the dog's chance of survival will be increased if you do more. Go to a specialist if you possibly can! Additional surgery, or radiation, or chemo are the usual choices that your oncologist will offer you. Our Tiva's first MCT was Stage 11, bad margins, so we chose additional surgery (her MCT was in her tail, and amputating the tail was a great option and curative completely, since the cancer hadn't gotten to her lymph nodes). Tiva's second MCT was also stage II, bad margins, but an extremely low mitotic index. We decided not to try chemo, because Tiva was so old at the time and it wouldn't increase her survival chances by much. But if she had been younger, or if the MCT had a higher mitotic index, we would have gone with chemo. The options now for chemo are great--pills that have few side effects, for example, such as Palladia. They are expensive.
There really are lots of options, and survival is increasing for MCT dogs, so get the pathology report, discuss your options with your vet, and ask for a referral to a cancer specialist if there's one nearby. Good luck!!

Heidi Klum Breaks Silence on Infidelity Accusations: 'I Never Looked at Another Man'
After several weeks of back-and-forth accusations and rumors, Heidi Klum has spoken out to dismiss the claims made against her by ex-husband Seal. Klum has denied ever having an affair and has insisted that she was faithful to her husband.
"When we were together, I never looked at another man," Klum told The New York Post. Her former husband, Seal, had previously accused Klum of infidelity and issued a nasty statement to the press after Klum was spotted on vacation with bodyguard Martin Kristen.
"I preferred Heidi would have showed a little bit more class and at least waited until we separated first, before deciding to fornicate with the help," he told TMZ. Once photos of Klum and Kristen were released, Seal added, "I guess you now all have the answer that you've been looking for the past seven months."
While many were shocked at Seal's language and strong accusation, Klum insisted she wasn't caught off-guard by them.
"It was a unique choice of words … I'm used to it. Other people aren't. When we were together, I never looked at another man," she said.
Klum will appear on Katie Couric's new talk show on Wednesday, Sept. 12, to continue discussing her relationship with Seal as well as her work. Fans were shocked to learn of the couple's separation after seven years of marriage. Klum and Seal made it an annual event to renew their wedding vows in unique ways.
They currently share custody of their children, Leni (who is not biologically Seal's), Henry, Johan, and Lou. In a statement to People magazine, Klum explained that the separation "was based on issues between the two of us. Seal has moved on and so have I. I cherish all of the great memories Seal and I created together over the years."
"My priority has, and continues to be, protecting and providing for our children," Klum added.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Mantodea (or mantises, mantes) is an order of insects that contains over 2,400 valid species and about 430 genera (Otte & Spearman 2012) in 15 families worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. Most of the species are in the family Mantidae. The English common name for any species in the order is "praying mantis" (Bullock 1812), because of the typical "prayer-like" attitude with folded fore-limbs, although the eggcorn "preying mantis" is sometimes used in reference to their predatory habits (Partington 1837, National Geographic Society 2011). In Europe and other regions, however, the name "praying mantis" refers to only a single species, Mantis religiosa. The closest relatives of mantises are the termites and cockroaches (order Blattodea). They are sometimes confused with phasmids (stick/leaf insects) and other elongated insects such as grasshoppers and crickets.
All Mantids belong to the insect order Mantodea. The etymology of the word Mantodea and of the common name 'mantis' come from the Greek word μάντις (pronounced mantis) meaning prophet. The word Mantodea includes as a suffix the Greek word εἶδος meaning form or shape. The name was coined in 1838 by the German entomologist Hermann Burmeister (Essig 1947, Harper 2001-2012).

Jets sign recently acquired Ivory to 3-year extension
Florham Park, NJ – The New York Jets signed running back Chris Ivory to a three-year contract extension on Monday.
The Jets acquired the 25-year-old Ivory in a trade with New Orleans during last week's NFL Draft.
Ivory has totaled 1,307 yards and eight touchdowns on 256 carries in 24 career games with the Saints, who signed the Tiffin product as an undrafted free agent in 2010.
The Jets also signed free-agent guard Stephen Peterman. Originally a third- round selection by Dallas in 2004, Peterman started 86 of 90 games played with the Detroit Lions over the last seven seasons.
