Jenkins' Ferry
Other Names: None
Location: Grant County
Campaign: Camden Expedition (1864)
Date(s): April 30, 1864
Principal Commanders: Maj. Gen. Fred Steele [US]; Gen. E. Kirby Smith [CS]
Forces Engaged: Department of Arkansas [US]; Army of Arkansas [CS]
Estimated Casualties: 964 total (US 521; CS 443)
Description: Maj. Gen. Fred Steele's forces retreated from Camden after being mauled at Marks' Mills and Poison Spring. On the afternoon of April 29, the Union forces reached Jenkins' Ferry and began crossing the Saline River, which was swollen by heavy rain. Rebel forces arrived on the 30th and attacked repeatedly. The Federals repulsed the attacks and finally crossed with all their men and supply wagons, many of which they were compelled to abandon in the swamp north of Saline. The Confederates bungled a good chance to destroy Steele's army, which after crossing the river, regrouped at Little Rock.
Result(s): Union victory in retreat

This page contains a list of potential project ideas that we are keen to develop during GSoC 2013 (we also have additional project ideas currently undergoing internal review, which will be added here too once project deliverables and available mentors have been confirmed). You can view our previous GSoC 2009, GSoC 2010 , GSoC 2011 and GSoC 2012 project ideas pages if you are looking for inspiration, or you might like to work on one of our existing tools, rather than working on something new.
We are always also interested in hearing any ideas for additional relevant honeynet-related R&D projects (although remember that to qualify for receiving GSoC funding from Google your project deliverables need to fit in to GSoC's 3-month project timescales!). If you have a suitable and interesting project, we'll always try and find the right resources to mentor it and support you. Please note - even if you aren't an eligible GSoC student, we are also always looking for general volunteers who are enthusiastic and interested in getting involved in honeynet R&D.
Each sponsored GSoC 2013 project will have one or more mentors available to provide a guaranteed contact point to students, plus one or more technical advisors to help applicants with the technical direction and delivery of the project (often the original author of a tool or its current maintainer, and usually someone recognised as an international expert in their particular field). Our Google Summer of Code organisational administrators will also be available to all sponsored GSoC students for general advice and logistical support. We'll also provide supporting hosted svn/trac/git/redmine/mailman/IRC/etc project infrastructure, if required.
For all questions about the Honeynet Project, the GSoC program or our projects, please contact us on #gsoc-honeynet on irc.freenode.net, subscribe to our public mailing list for people interested in GSoC at https://public.honeynet.org/mailman/listinfo/gsoc or email us directly at [email protected]
To learn more about the Google Summer of Code event, see the the GSoC 2013 Website.
In previous years our internal honeynet R&D focus was primarily directed into a number of priority areas, which were:
So unsurprisingly a number of our suggested potential project ideas fall into these research areas. However, we are also interested in receiving project proposals and tool updates/new tool developments outside these research focus areas too, so hopefully this provides potential students with a wide variety of exciting topics to contributed to and be engaged with this summer.
(more to follow)
Name: Project 1 - Pwnypot Honeyclient (detection improvement)
Mentor: Georg Wicherski (DE)
Backup mentor: Technical support Shahriyar Jalayeri
Skills required:
Project type: Improve existing tool
Project goal:
The goal of the project is to add more detection techniques to Pwnypot (https://github.com/shjalayeri/MCEDP) for detecting shellcodes, ROPs and also Java logical exploits.
Pwnypot (a.k.a. MCEDP) is a high-interaction client honeypot that uses some techniques to detect malicious web servers at exploitation stage. Some of the methods used in Pwnypot have been first implemented in MS EMET. Attackers can use some methods (which has not been seen in the wild yet!) to bypass Shellcode and ROP detector modules. Currently we are aware of most of these evasion methods and we expect to fix them during this project. Another problem is Java Sandbox Escape exploits. This kind of exploits are often logical and do not use any kind of memory corruption or legacy Shellcodes. Because MCEDP/Pwnypot is designed base on memory corruption issues and Shellcode execution, it can't detect this type of Java exploits yet! We also need to detect these types of Java exploits.
Name: Project 2 - Pwnypot manager
Mentor: Jamie Riden (UK)
Backup mentor: Georg Wicherski (DE), Techincal support Adel Karimi
Skills required:
Project type: Extension of existing tool
Project goal:
The goal of the project is to develop a manager module for Pwnypot (https://github.com/shjalayeri/MCEDP), sending tasks to pwnypot agents / VMs, get the results after the analysis and insert them in a DB) and a simple web frontend for management and showing the results.
Currently Pwnypot honeyclient is not fully automated and just has a detection module with a GUI for its configuration (agent / pwnypot client). We need a manager module for sending tasks to agents/VMs (feeding inputs to pwnypot clients) and getting the results. We also need a DB and simple web frontend to manage the pwnypot and showing the analysis results.
Name: Project 3 - Thug Distributed Task Queueing
Mentor: Angelo Dell'Aera (IT)
Backup mentor: Sebastian Poeplau (DE)
Skills required:
Project type: Improve existing tool
Project goal:
The goal of the project is to introduce a new distributed operating mode in the honeyclient (Thug)
Currently Thug works like a stand-alone tool but there are plans to make it able to work in a distributed environment. The idea is that an instance of Thug operating in distributed mode should be able to connect to a (centralized or not) URL distribution point. Such distribution point will be fed with URLs coming from different sources (i.e. spamtraps) and redistribute such URLs to all Thug instances which are currently idle and waiting for tasks to run. The distribution algorithm should be able to load balance the tasks among the existing live and connected Thug instances and provide to them additional parameters in order to be able to fine tune the running instance.
Name: Project 4 - Thug Document Object Model (DOM) improvements and validation
Mentor: Angelo Dell'Aera (IT)
Backup mentor: Sebastian Poeplau (DE)
Skills required:
Project type: Improve existing tool
Project goal:
The goal of the project is to improve the Document Object Model implementation of the honeyclient (Thug) and implement a generic framework for its validation
Thug implements its own Document Object Model (DOM) which is far from perfect. Considering that a correct implementation is key for correctly emulating web pages (and thus exploit kits too) the goal of this project is about improving the existing Document Object Model implementation and implementing a generic framework for its validation.
Name: Project 5 - Android webhoneyclient
Mentor: Hugo Gonzalez (MX)
Backup mentor: Natalia Stakhanova (Canada)
Skills required:
Project type: Develop a new tool
Project goal:
The goal of the project is to develop a new tool capable of detect and analyze malicious attacks to android using web servers.
Currently there are some honeyclients that mimic a browser in specific platform. These one won't mimic, because this will be using a "real" platform to conduct a complete analysis. The point of this project is not to develop an Android app but an analysis tool to be run on a traditional (not mobile phone) environment.
At this stage the analysis should focus on URLs. An Android honeyclient should be able to (1) visit the suspicious url, (2) record all the activities of the device, (3) analyze the recorded activity.
An input to the Honeyclient is a list of URLs and an output is a result of their analysis. We envision the analysis to be performed through an emulation in virtual setting to expose an Android environment to a possibly malicious URL.
As such the project has two components to it: (1) a straightforward implementation of a controller that will be responsible for starting up a clean environment for Android platform emulation, running URL in it, collecting traces, closing an environment; and (2) a more advanced piece on behavioral analysis of recorded traces.
The latter component is likely to call for some research. We're not looking for a sophisticated analysis here and were thinking of some definition of normal environment behavior and consequently a comparison of recorded traces with what is defined as normal.
Name: Project 6 - Dynamic attack surface for Glastopf
Mentor: Johnny Vestergaard (DK)
Backup mentor: Lukas Rist (DE)
Skills required:
Project type: Extension of existing tool
Project goal:
Extend (Glastopf) with functionality to change attack surface.
The goal of this project is to develop functionality to dynamically change the attack surface of Glastopf, in this context attack surface means the HTML, CSS, Javascript and paths visible to the attacker. One or more of the following suggestions could be interesting in this context:
Functionality to mirror/mimic existing website. This would involve automatically scraping a website whereafter glastopf would mimic that site. Also see:http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=145126 for a similar approach. There are definitely search engine consequences and legal aspects to consider.
Development of templates for common website. (Wordpress, Drupal, etc). Maybe adept HIHATS approach of turning a CMS template into a honeypot: http://hihat.sourceforge.net/
Improve the WSGI application using Glastopf so we can run the Honeypot behind an already deployed web server like Apache and alongside other web applications.
Project Name: Project 7 - Network Analyzer
Primary Mentor: Oğuz Yarımtepe (TR)
Backup mentor: Adam Pridgen (US), Nicolas Collery (FR)
Skills required:
Project type: Improve existing tool
Project goal:
The goal of the project is to enhance the features of the Network Analyzer tool.
Currently Network Analyzer is supporting DNS, HTTP and SMTP protocols. It has a site that explains the installation procedure and other details:https://github.com/oguzy/ovizart
Briefly, Ovizart (network analyzer) aimed to analyze the traffic data in a more human readable way. It analyzes the information at the application level and displays the assembled information. It helps you answer questions when you analyze a traffic data:
There is also an online demo: http://ow.comu.edu.tr
This year the planned todos are below:
Project Name: Project 8 - IMALSE: Integrated Malware Simulator and Emulator
Primary Mentor: Jing Conan Wang (CN)
Backup mentor: Cong Wei (US),
Skills required:
Project type: Improve existing tool
Project goal:
The goal of the project is to enhance the features of the existing IMALSE tool.
This is open source software we have developed to help researchers generate data of botnet-based network malware. Currently has basic functionality of simulating and emulating the botnet based
attack. IMALSE website.
The student will be asked to improve the software by:
Name: Project 9 - OSX malware analysis honeypot
Mentor: Hugo Gonzalez (MX)
Backup mentor: Jamie Riden (UK), Felix Leder (DE)
Skills required:
Project type: Improve, finish the tool
Project goal:
The goal of the project is to improve/finish this tool to be able to detect and analyze attacks to OSX system by malicious web servers, or malicious files.
This will be a complete system sandbox to trace malicious activities on OSX. Once a file was ran or a web page visited, the system should record all the activities and report if the file or url could cause some suspicious on the system. This could be an extension for the cuckoo sandox, running on OS X clients. Prototype iHoneyC code.
Name: Project 10 - AfterGlow Cloud
Mentor: Raffael Marty (US)
Backup mentor: Ralph Logan (US), Ryan Smith (US)
Skills required:
Project type: Improve a tool / service
Project goal:
This project is about updating AfterGlow Cloud to move away from using GraphViz to render the graphs. Instead we will be using D3.js to render directly into HTML and/or SVG.
Name: Project 11 - HpfeedsHoneyGraph for visualizing malicious intention transmission using multiple honeypot logs
Mentor: Julia Yuchin Cheng (TW)
Backup mentor: Hugo Gascón (ES)
Skills required:
Project type:
Improve a tool / service
Project goal:
This project is about improving HpfeedsHoneyGraph, a tool to visualize malicious intent transmission for HPFeeds logs.
HpfeedsHoneyGraph is an app to visual HPFeeds on splunk platform. Multi-logs are subscribed from hpfeeds indexed by splunk to generate transmission relationship between data fields and continue to generate graph using D3.js library. Currently, HpfeedsHoneyGraph can generate forced-based graph to visualize the transmission over malicious activities. Unfortunately, the graph is too complex to be analyzed. Please read the blog at http://www.honeynet.org/node/957 before you start this project
In this year, this project aims to:
Code is available at https://github.com/yuchincheng/HpfeedsHoneyGraph
Name: Project 12 - Android static analysis web application
Mentor: Ryan W Smith (US)
Backup mentor: TBC
Skills required:
Project type: Improve existing tool
Project goal:
The goal of this project is to migrate the features of the Android static analysis tool APKInspector from a stand-alone application to a hosted web application.
APKInspector provides an open source GUI to perform many of the common static analysis techniques in a single tool. Some of the most common complaints is that it takes too long and it's too complicated to install all of the dependencies, or that some of the
dependencies don't install properly on their OS. By migrating APKInspector to a web application framework such as Django or Rails, with a Javascript-aided front-end UI, we'll alleviate the need for users to install all of the dependencies locally. We will host APKInspector on our own servers so users can simply upload their APK and start static analysis immediately. Like the current version of APKInspector, many of the basic features will be provided by open source tools such as androguard, JED, smali/baksmali, etc. allowing the student to focus on implementing workflow and analytic features on top of them. The successful completion of this project would be a fully functioning web application which provides at least the same set of features as the current stand along APKInspector tool.
Name: Project 13 - IPv6 attack detector
Mentor: Tan Kean Siong (MY)
Backup mentor: Xu Weilin (CN)
Skills required:
Project type: Extension of existing tool
Project goal:
The goal of the project is to improve current IPv6 honeypot (6Guard) detection mechanism for various latest IPv6 attacks, get the results and have a proper logging method.
Currently IPv6 honeypot (6Guard) is capable to detect certain IPv6 attacks. As there are various new IPv6 attacks technique discovered and tools were released since last year, we need to improve the detection mechanism. For example, it should be able to fully detect the attack scenarios with various Extension headers combination, fragmentation techniques, RA-Guard bypass tricks, packet DoS attempts and etc. We also need a proper logging mechanism for the collected results, e,g, a DB for better results analysis.
Name: Project 14 - SHIVA: Spam Honeypot with Intelligent Virtual Analyzer
Mentor: Sumit Sharma (IN)
Backup Mentor: Muslim Koser (IN)
Skills Required:
Project Type: Improve and extend existing tool
Project Goal:
The goal of the project is to improve existing SHIVA backend codecode to make it easily deployable, improve its intelligence to differentiate spams (new/old), develop spam content classification, integrate with HPFeeds / HPfriends for larger
community sharing and handling large amounts of data. In addition, and if possible within given time frame, UI is required for analysis of data captured.
At present, SHIVA is an open but controlled relay Spam honeypot built on top of Lamson python framework with capability of collecting and analyzing all spams thrown at it. With its built-in intelligence, it relays few of them to make it appear a misconfigured open relay SMTP server to spammers. Current SHIVA code.
Analysis of data captured reveals phishing attacks, scamming campaigns, malware campaigns, spam botnets et-cetera with current speed of processing ~7k spams per minute.
Proposed Enhancements / Upgrade:
Project can be found here: honeynet/shiva
Name: Project 15 - Conpot: ICS/SCADA honeypot
Mentor: Lukas Rist (DE)
Backup mentor: Johnny Vestergaard (DK)
Skills required: Python, TCP, (HTTP, FTP, modbus, snmp, dnp3 and IEC 60870 an advantage)
Project type: Improve existing tool
Project goal: Conpot is an ICS honeypot with the goal to collect intelligence about the motives and methods of adversaries targeting industrial control systems. In this project we want to add additional protocols, improve the existing protocols, data logging, system and vulnerability emulation and overall infrastructure virtualization.
Description: Until now setting up a ICS honeypot required substantial manual work, real systems which are usually either inaccessible or expensive and lecture of quite tedious protocol specifications. With implementing master server for a larger set of common industrial communication protocols and virtual slaves which are easy to configure, we provide an easy entry into the analysis of threats against industrial infrastructures and control systems.
A student applying for this project has to be open to learn new protocols and adopt and modify existing implementations. This includes also automated testing and continuous integration, management of sensor deployments and data analysis. As this field is quite young and unexplored it will provide a large variety of challenges to solve.
Project can be found here: glastopf/conpot

Instead of turning to one of the GOP candidates or a campaign spokesman, Thursday's CBS This Morning thought it fit to bring on Obama campaign senior adviser Robert Gibbs to discuss the last scheduled Republican presidential debate. Charlie Rose and Bob Schieffer didn't play hardball with Gibbs, like they did with Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, but went easy on the former presidential press secretary.
On Sunday, Schieffer interrogated Santorum over his attacks on the chief executive, particularly over the former senator's "theology" attack on Obama's environmental policies. The anchor did his best impression of a former MSNBC personality: "I've got to ask you, what in the world were you talking about sir?" Two days later, Rose pursued Gingrich for supposedly "saying that the President is not patriotic." By contrast, on Thursday, the CBS morning show host directed a vague question about the controversial abortifacient mandate to Gibbs:
ROSE: ...When you listen to the debate here, it seems clear that all of the Republicans want to center on this question about the President, one having to do with the role of government, the intrusion of government, whether it is about the church, or whether it's about some other aspect of health care. Is that the emerging question of the general election?
Rose followed this with an overly simplified question on foreign policy: "Is the President worried about gas prices, and also, what might happen with respect to Iran?" He then handed the baton to Schieffer, who tossed his own softball question:
SCHIEFFER: Do you, Robert, think that these- let me put it to you this way. They're saying we've had plenty of these debates. A lot of people saying this is the last one, at least, the last one scheduled. Do you want to see some more of them? Do you think this is helping the President or hurting the President when the Republicans come out here so often as they have?
Gibbs referenced to the cult British TV series "Downton Abbey" he joked about the number of Republican debates, seemingly to the delight of the CBS personalities:
GIBBS: Well, look, I think if you're an independent or an undecided voter, and you tuned into last night's debate, I don't doubt at all that you have been turned off by the type of nasty, negative carpet bombing distortions on each other and on the president's record. I don't sense that they're talking about the issues that people care most about. That's what the President is spending his time talking about. I don't think there's any doubt that we got more out of Downton Abbey than we have out of these 20 debates. (Rose, Hill, and Schieffer laugh)
Schieffer made an almost identical reference at the beginning of the segment:
SCHIEFFER: Well, you know, I don't think this was a debate that changed very much, quite frankly. It was obviously Santorum versus Romney. But, you know, I suppose the people that liked Rick Santorum going in thought he did well, and those that liked Mitt Romney going in, thought he did well. But I don't think there was any great moment. But I tell you, you know, I'm kind of like Gail Collins in the New York Times this morning. (Erica Hill laughs) She said she felt like she felt when the last episode of Downton Abbey was over. (Rose laughs) I mean, what are we going to do now? You know, there have been 20 of these things. I think they've been great. I think we've learned a lot about each of the candidates. I think, last night, it was a two-person show. But I'm not sure I would pick anyone as a winner last night.
The transcript of the Bob Schieffer/Robert Gibbs segment on Thursday's CBS This Morning, which aired eight minutes into the 7 am Eastern hour, is available at MRC.org.

'The Equalizer:' Denzel Washington Is Ready to Unleash the Beast
With the 'Equalizer' trailer dropping soon, we'll finally get to see Denzel Washington in action as a retired government official turned vigilante — not to mention Chloe Moretz as a prostitute (though in her case, we don't mean that kind of action). But before then, new photos from the film, based on the classic '80s TV series of the same name, give us a peek at what's in store.
USA Today debuted our latest look at 'The Equalizer,' which features Washington bringing Robert McCall to life — the former black ops commando fakes his death in order to stay under his enemies' radars, but, as director Antoine Fugua says, "the monster comes out" of retirement to save a helpless young prostitute from Russian gangsters. "[Washington's] hand-to-hand work is pretty nasty," said Fugua. "We used what was around him. You'd be surprised what he can do with a corkscrew. You'll never open a bottle of wine the same way again."
We can't wait to preview some of these skills in the forthcoming 'Equalizer' trailer, considering Washington — who's 59, by the way — performed many of his own stunts. Not to mention the fact that Sony is so confident in the final product that they've already placed 'The Equalizer 2' into development. Overly confident, perhaps? We'll see.
UPDATE: We've added additional hi-res photos from 'The Equalizer,' shown below.
'The Equalizer' also stars Marton Csokas, David Harbour, Bill Pullman and Melissa Leo, and is set for release on September 26.

Getting my friends to come on food adventures in Flushing is like pulling teeth. Most of them live in Manhattan or Brooklyn, and are very proud of the fact.
"I don't do outer boroughs," says one.
"I don't leave the Upper West Side," says another.
"Why take the train for Chinese food when you can just get it delivered?" asks a third.
Since my life revolves around food, I probably have a distorted view of how far the average person should go for an ideal bowl of noodles or enlightening dim sum. (Queens residents, you're lucky.) Most of my trips on the 7 train are spent all by my lonesome, catching up on the New Yorker or, in the absence of reading material, fastidiously checking email on my phone. So I was pretty excited when Kian of Red Cook suggested we head out to Flushing in search of some restaurant a Taiwanese friend recommended that may or may not have an English name. Sold!
As we pounced up the stairs at the Flushing - Main Street stop, I was already famished from the longish ride from Times Square and ready to eat. "Oh, I forgot to mention," Kian said. "There's a bus transfer. Haha..."
Trying to figure out where to catch the 44 bus, on a packed street corner with seemingly a dozen bus stops, was certainly not a picnic. Neither was spacing out from good conversation and overshooting your bus stop by 30 blocks, until a good samaritan decides to tell you to get off the bus already and go back the other way.
After an hour-long detour, we found out the restaurant was actually only a 5-minute ride from the subway. And it did have an (albeit long) English name: Main Street Imperial Taiwanese Gourmet.
Here are the three dishes that made the journey worth it:
1. (above) Spicy Fried Flounder and Tofu - This was server's recommendation. If you come here, ORDER IT. The fish was lightly breaded cooked till just done. The tofu was simmered in the serving sauce, a blend of sweet chili sauce and fermented bean paste (dou ban jiang), a nod to Sichuan cooking. The sauce was flavorful yet light enough to not overwhelm the silky textures of both the flounder and tofu. Outstanding.
2. Stir-fried bitter melon with salted egg - I rarely encounter bitter melon that is not steamed or braised, since that's how it's usually done in Cantonese cooking. Here, stir-frying does make the bitter melon retain more bitterness, but the flavor works well with the earthy bits of eggs. Yes, bitter melon is an acquired taste; this is a great dish for anyone lucky enough to have acquired it.
3. Three Cup Chicken - This Taiwanese favorite gets its name from being braised in equal parts soy sauce, sesame oil, and white rice wine. The chicken here was as tender and flavorful as other versions I've tried overseas, and had a good amount of Thai basil. (You can also try this Three Cup Chicken recipe at home.) As with the other dishes, the portions were very generous and we had plenty left over to doggie-bag.
So the moral of this story is that good food is sometimes worth taking two trains and a bus to find. And that it's a good idea to pay attention to your bus stops.
Main Street Imperial Taiwanese Gourmet
59-14 Main Street (near 59th St.)
Take the 7 to Flushing - Main Street, then catch the 44 bus near the SW corner of the Main St. and Roosevelt Ave. Get off just past the Queens Botanical Garden (approx. 5 minute ride).

The first thing I noticed was his combat boots, cinched to the side of a camouflage backpack. The second, that morning in the airport security line of LAX, was his smooth shaved head. My first man crush I remember having as a child was on Mr. Clean; I've never gotten over it. He had bits of white tissue stuck to his bare scalp, and I resisted the urge to tell him. I observed him surreptitiously as we wound our way through the line. He was a good-looking guy, about my height, 5'6", stocky, mustached man in his twenties, dressed in loose fitting jeans, a non-descript t-shirt, and sneakers. He seemed tired and sighed as he periodically wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Definitely straight," I said to myself.
Finally ending the debate to speak or be silent raging in my head, I said, "You've got some bits of tissue stuck to the sides of your head."
"Oh, Thanks," he said, wiping the top and other side of his crown. He stopped and looked at me with an expression that read, "How's that?"
"Still there," I replied.
He wiped his head again, increasing the radius of the sweep with his hand. "How about now" his eyes said as he stood still.
I pointed to directly above his ear. "Right there," I said.
He sighed, took his laminated ID he had in his hand to show security and scraped it over his stubbled skin like a waiter cleaning crumbs with a knife off a table cloth.
"Got it," I said.
"Thanks, I appreciate it." He replied.
We moved ahead a few feet in the line.
"Were you using paper to dry your head?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said, checking his watch again. I've only got twenty minutes to get a plane and go have way around the world."
"Where are you going?"
"To Afghanistan" he said flatly, his face turned to me in profile and his eyes staring off into the distance. "I was in Iraq, and now I'm going to Afghanistan."
"Did they stop-gap you?"
"Ya mean, stop-loss me?"
"Yes, sorry, stop-loss." God, I'm an idiot, I thought.
"Yeah," he sighed. "Well technically they don't do that any more…" his voice trailed off. "But, yeah, they stop-lossed me."
"I'm sorry about that," I said.
"Yeah, well," he shrugged.
He looked down at the ground.
"Well thank you," I said, words failing me.
"Uh uh," he replied.
For a while we didn't speak as we continued to work our way up to the screening area.
"What do you do," I asked.
"I'm an E. O. D. Technician. I disarm bombs, mostly roadside bombs. I clip the wires on those.
My heart stopped and I thought, "Jesus."
After a few beats of silence I asked, "Do you wear protection, or something?" I asked.
"Yeah, well, we're supposed to, but I don't really like to feel constricted. I like to move around. And you know, if one of those goes off…" he paused. "Well, it really just means there going to find bigger chunks of you…" He looked up at me and then down to his tennis shoes.
I followed his gaze, then looked at my own black, dress shoes. Finally I said, perhaps strangely, but sincerely, "That makes me want to cry."
There was a long pause during which I regretted speaking of tears and emotion to a soldier off to war. Not very manly, I thought to myself.
We were nearing the screening area. I slid off my belt, rolled it up in a tight circle, and put in a shoe. The soldier bent down, backpack still on, and untied his shoe laces. I took my wallet, keys, and cell phone out of my pockets and placed them in my other shoe. The soldier removed what I assumed were dog tags from around his neck and placed his wallet and keys in his hands.
"There's a movie about what we do right now," he said abruptly, glancing at me. "Uh…" touching his empty hand to his forehead, as if reaching for the information he needed. "I can't remember the name of it."
"I can't think of the name either, but I know which one you mean. Not Stop-Loss but the other one."
"Yeah…ahh… I wish I could remember the name. Ah...anyway, it'll give you a pretty good idea about what we do, although it's not exact…some of the stuff is kinda close."
"What's not the same…in the movie?" I asked.
"Well sometimes the guy'll just walk right up to the bomb and start working on it all alone. I would never do that. I work with a team. I wait for them."
He grabbed a plastic bus tub and held it at his side as we waited for the other passengers to feed their belongings into the machine.
"You'll have to see the movie." he said, more like a request than a recommendation.
"Yes I will. I've been meaning to. I know it sounds shallow, but every time I've thought I'd go see it, I ask myself, am I in the mood for this?" I felt instantaneously guilty. Rushing to absolution I added, "I know the one you're talking about though. The poster has a guy walking down a deserted street in all of his gear."
"Yeah, that's it." He put the gray tub on the stainless steel table and put the stuff from his pockets into the bottom of it. He put his backpack on top and pushed it down trying to make it fit in the container.
I put my shoes in the bottom of my tub, removed my corduroy blazer and folded it neatly on top of my shoes. I took another bin, put my bag in it, removed the baggie with my toiletries and placed in on top.
"You have to remove your shoes" the ATA worker said to the soldier.
He removed his already untied shoes quickly. He approached his tub and realized there wasn't room for them. I quickly push my blazer and shoes to one side of my bin.
"You can put them in here," I said.
He handed me his shoes and I gently placed them on top of the nest I had created with my coat sleeves.
"Thanks. Thanks a lot," he said. He turned and followed the workers directive to walk through the metal detector.
The boots strapped to his backpack were not clearing the opening of the imaging machine, so I pushed them down until they bag was sucked into the opening past the black vertical straps. The official waved me through and I was next to the soldier again on the other side of the imaging machine.
As he pulled his pack free of the bus tub, the container flipped over. I could the loose items at the bottom of the container fly in the air before falling with a clatter on top of the rolling metal tubes, the tub settling upside-down on top of them.
I kneeled on the ground to help retrieve the soldier's belongings. The only item that had fallen through was a small, silver, oval medallion on a long chain. As I picked it up, I noticed it had Our Lady of Guadalupe on one side, and a prayer on the other.
"Here you are," I said, placing the necklace gingerly in his palm.
He nodded at me, and then stood there as if waiting for something.
"My shoes," he said.
"Oh, yes," I replied, turning toward the steel rollers and extracting his shoes from my coat. Turning back, I walked to him and placed them in his open palms.
He looked me directly in the eye and said simply, clearly, "Thank you."
I returned his gaze. "Sure," I said.
I went back toward my belongings, which were now being pushed ahead by the steady stream of personal effects being spat from the machine. I quickly stacked my gray bins on top of one another. As I walked them to the tables near the exit, I saw the soldier striding toward the gates, the bright light from the windows wrapping around his silhouette.

- Cisplatin and carboplatin are standard cancer treatment drugs used for various childhood
cancers, including brain tumors. Both drugs frequently have severe side effects that may
reduce their effectiveness, particularly in children, and new treatments are needed that
may be similarly effective but less toxic for cancer patients.
- Satraplatin is an experimental drug, similar to cisplatin and carboplatin, that has not
yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Satraplatin has been shown to
treat cancer by interfering with genetic material (DNA) in cancer cells. Some adults
with cancer who have received satraplatin had slowing of the growth or shrinkage of
their tumor. Researchers are interested in determining whether satraplatin can be
effective for cancers that occur in children.
- To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of satraplatin as a treatment for children and
young adults who have solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment.
- To study the effects of satraplatin on the body in terms of side effects and blood
- To examine the effect that genetic variations may have on the effectiveness of
- Children, adolescents, and young adults between 3 and 21 years of age who have solid tumors
(including brain tumors) that have not responded to standard treatment.
- Participants will be screened with a full physical examination and medical history,
blood tests, and tumor imaging studies.
- Participants will receive satraplatin pills to be taken every day in the morning for 5
consecutive days, with no food for 2 hours before or 1 hour after the dose. Participants
will then have 23 days without the drug to complete a 28-day cycle of treatment.
Participants will also receive medication to prevent nausea and vomiting 30 minutes
before the first dose of satraplatin. Following the first dose of satraplatin,
medication for nausea will be given if needed.
- Satraplatin doses will be adjusted based on response to treatment, including potential
side effects. Participants will have frequent blood tests and imaging studies to
evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and monitor any side effects, as well as
hearing tests and other examinations as required by the study researchers.
- Participants will receive satraplatin every 4 weeks for up to 2 years until serious side
effects occur or the tumor stops responding to treatment.
The platinum compounds cisplatin and carboplatin are standard agents in the treatment of a
variety of childhood cancers. However, cumulative and long-term renal and ototoxicity are a
concern related to cisplatin administration, particularly in young children.
Several mechanisms of resistance to platinum compounds have been described including
decreased drug accumulation due to altered drug uptake or the presence of a membrane efflux
pump, increased intracellular levels of thiol-containing groups that detoxify and modulate
platinum, and removal of the platinum-DNA adducts by DNA repair pathways called nucleotide
excision repair (NER) and base excision repair (BER) pathways.
Polymorphisms in DNA repair genes have been shown in some cancers to predict better treatment
response to platinum treatment.
Satraplatin is an oral platinum analog with similar preclinical in vitro and in vivo activity
to that of cisplatin and carboplatin, and with activity in platinum resistant models.
Dose-limiting satraplatin toxicities in adults include nausea, vomiting, and
myelosuppression. Neither renal nor neurologic toxicities have been described.
Satraplatin has demonstrated clinical activity in adult refractory tumors at the recommended
phase II and III dose of 80 mg/m2/dose daily for 5 days every 28 or 35 days.
To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of oral satraplatin administered on a once
daily for 5 days every 28 days schedule in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory
solid tumors including brain tumors.
To define the toxicities of oral satraplatin and characterize the pharmacokinetics of oral
satraplatin in children with refractory cancer.
To determine the preliminary antitumor activity of satraplatin.
To evaluate the pharmacogenomic expression of DNA repair genes in peripheral blood
mononuclear blood cells.
Patients greater than or equal to 3 years and less than or equal to 25 years at enrollment
with relapsed or refractory solid tumors including brain tumors.
Adequate organ function
This is a phase I trial of satraplatin administered once daily orally for 5 days every 28
days. A cycle of therapy is considered to be 28 days. The starting dose level is 60
mg/m(2)/dose with escalations to 80, 110, 140 mg/m(2)/dose. The MTD will be defined based on
satraplatin tolerability during cycle one.
Disease status will be evaluated prior to every odd treatment cycle and therapy may continue
for up to 2 years in the absence of progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.

Saturn Vue Loss of Power/Check Engine Light
I have googled around and have seen that other people have the same problem, but nobody has an answer as to what it is...thanks for any help you might have!

WasHappy03Vue Posts: 8Have you replaced the body control module?0
I have a 2005 Saturn vue when i drive it it stalls. I have to pull off the road turn it off then restart it. It stalls at different times i drove 20 miles and it stalled 7 times then i drove 20 miles and only stalled once. I have replaced the ignition control module. When the the engine light was on i had the codes read and they say nothing is wrong with it...Please help me0
CheriLyn- Mine is doing the same thing. I called Saturn and they want me to pay out of pocket again for a Saturn mechanic to look into it at $190 an hour. If you find anything out, please share!0
I will and please if you find anything out please let me know.. Thank you0
alwaysumthn Posts: 1Hello! So, I traded in my beloved VW Rabbit for a larger, more practical car, a 2008 AWD Saturn Vue, in Aug 2010. My check engine light keeps going on and off. I went to AutoZone and they troubleshooted the issue and this is the result: APP sensor 1 and sensor 2 signal voltage fault; Explanation: The ECM has detected the APP sensor signal 1 and 2 do not agree; Probable cause: Poor electrical connection and/or failed APP sensor. Is this something that may be covered under the powertrain warranty? If not, how much is this going to cost me? Is this something I can fix myself (somewhat car savy)? Is it OK that I keep driving the car? And just a note....I hate the power engine down function!!! So, I thought that once the check engine light was on, I would not have to deal with this happening (bc before the power engine down function was only happening when the check engine light initially came on)...now it happens even when the light is on. I can go days with the check engine light off, but it will always come back on! Please help!!!0
It's the ECU. You'll have to find a new one and get it reprogrammed with a Saturn mechanic. Hope it helps. I'll let you know if everything is resolved once mine is done.0
brownboot Posts: 32001 Ford Taurus check eng light on with a DTC P0402.This happens about every 2.5 years and I replace the Backpressure sensor and that will take care of it. Is this normal on this year? We brought it new and now has 58,000 + miles (wife car) I have had 2 other Taurus a 1996 with over 200,000 miles and a 2003 with 170,000 miles and have never replace that part. Purchase the part at Advance Auto Parts should I get Ford parts?
I would definitely recommend working with a GM dealer. I apologize I do not have pricing information. The dealer will be able to assist you in pricing the cost of the repairs. Please keep me updated on your progress.

jen131 Posts: 1I seem to be having the same problem with my Vue. It stalls and loses power frequently. Have had it in to the GM dealer 3 times and they keep telling me that there is nothing wrong with it and that "it's not happening for them". They say the only code stored in the computer is a "minor misfire". I now have it at a "mom and pop" garage to see if they can figure it out. It has less than 60,000 miles on it. Has anyone come up with an absolute fix for this problem because I'm into this problem for about $1000 between having to rent a car (while the dealer does nothing) and mechanic/labor fees.
I am considering trying to get rid of it and buy something new, but how exactly does one sell a car that is a lemon????0
We actually did get this figured out after about 5 times in the shop!! They knew it somehow centered around the computer but couldn't figure it out. This is how they explained to me what they did. The computer has a bunch of pins in it, that sort of fit into different slots. Each pin has to have a certain pressure to it. If the pressure is not correct it can misfire and cause the car to stall. They had to take apart every single pin and test the pressure and fix where the pressure was wrong, put it all back together and it worked!!
Ours was also around 50,000 miles and now we are at 62,000 and it has given us no problems since. See if you can explain this to the mom and pop garage, or return it to the place where you spent the $1,000 and make them do it, and maybe even try to get them to refund you for all the things they did that didn't work. Good luck!!! This is the most frustrating thing ever!! We had all but given up hope..0
Glad to hear your vehicle is fixed and you are no longer experiencing any issues!
Thank you,
Caron, GM Customer Service0
I apologize for the problems you are experiencing with your vehicle. By chance, have you been in contact with GM Customer Assistance? If so, could you please email me your case number and VIN? I would like to look further into your situation.

leehhiltoniii Posts: 1This vehicle which belongs to my spouse has preformed without any faults for the past 66,000 miles BUT it's electronic connection from the computer to the accelerator faulted just after we coasted out of our driveway and though the engine was still functioning the accelerator would not accelerate the engine past 900 rpm...
It's a freezing evening here in Northwest Louisiana and I called ONSTAR for a diagnosis but they simply said the engine computer was displaying code 23 faults and they were unaware what was causing the faults...
They suggested turning the key off and removing it from it's ignition several times and restarting to see if the fault would reset itself but this was to no avail...
After summoning a $85.00 tow to a local repair center I awaited the grim reapers report the next day from the maintenance foreman...
Two days later he finally called and said that other than the battery was totally stoned dead and the computer code was showing a history of a code 23 they could find nothing wrong with the vehicle at this visit...
They simply recharged the battery and sent me a bill for $95.00!
The battery was just replaced last Spring and if this vehicle is starting to EAT batteries I gotta dump it or keep it on charge continually...
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding this issue?
If so I'm a [email protected]
gmcustsvcsarah Posts: 1,964I can understand your frustration. I wanted to clarify a few things, just for my understanding: what brand of battery did you have installed in your Vue last spring? Do you still have documentation on this? There are, depending on the brand, battery warranties. Also, was this diagnosis done at a GM Dealership? If so, we can follow up on this.
Please send us an email with more information at your convenience if we can be of service.

jess2224 Posts: 1I recently bought my 2003 Saturn Vue V6 6cylinder. I bought it from a private owner, a woman I know very well. She kept regular maintenance on the car such as making sure the oil was changed exactly every 3000 miles. I registered my vehicle on april 11, 2012. I test drove it about a month before purchasing the exact vehicle and it ran perfect. Two days ago, upon driving my car, when I would hit the gas pedal, I would reach 20 or 30 mph and the power would shut off. The car sat for about 7 months as a result of the owner being in an accident and buying a new car in the process. The power will shut off about every other time i attempt to drive. One theory is that there was sediment in my gas tank from it sitting so long and it is clogging my fuel filter. But, upon doing some research, am wondering if it is more than that. Anyone have any ideas?0
tonimora Posts: 13No, the ECM will probably not resolve your problem, and it will cost you a lot of money. I did that, and still had the same problem afterwards. Recently though, I took my Saturn Vue to the Kuni Chevy dealer here in Sacramento. They did a diagnostic, and the engine was fine. What they did find was that the negative ground to body was broken. It cost about $300 for the repair, and I no longer have the electrical problem.
Be careful who you take it to though, because since that repair, I have new problems with my Vue that I didn't have prior to taking it in. Like suddenly all my engine mounts are worn out and my car vibrates like crazy, Had to take it back in to find out why this was happening, because it wasn't doing that before they worked on it, and they only want $1175 to fix that, and also they claim that they have discovered a blue liquid in my brake fluid, which has contaminated my brake system, and they only want $3500 to fix that. I hate to point fingers, and make accusations, but I had none of these problems prior to taking my car to them regarding the electrical problem. But I have no way of proving that they are responsible, so I will just warn people about these possible shady activities to force people to let them work on their cars. We've all hear the saying, Despirate times.0
442dude Posts: 373When you say the power shuts off what do you mean? Does the engine shut off or is there just no power? Check engine light? any dash warning lights?
I'm not sure I buy the sediment explanation...fortunately replacing the fuel filter on the 2003 model is very easy as it is external from the fuel tank. You should just replace it so you know that its not your issue. Cheap repair.
I will keep an eye out - post back...0
xnavyss Posts: 1End of June 2013, Both Lights came on and immediately went to Advance Auto Parts who said it was a Throttle Sensor and part may need to be programmed by Chevy Dealer
Took the car to the Tallahassee, FL Chevy Dealer and was advised they would charge me 95.00 to confirm and an about $175.00 to replace part. I choose to just have the repair done.
About 2 weeks later, both lights came on AGAIN. Took the car back to Chevy and this time was told it needed an ECM – Almost $700.00.
About 10 weeks later , both lights came on AGAIN. Took the car back to Chevy and was told the history shows the lights having come on, but they could not find anything wrong.
In the past 2 weeks, the lights have come on twice. About 200 miles in between. When the lights come on, I pull to the side of the road, turn off engine and re-start and the reduced light goes out, but the service light stays on. After I park the car for a while, and later start it up, both lights are off.
Can not afford to keep taking it to the Chevy Dealer. I am afraid, first it was a sensor, then they said, ECM, I am afriad, next they may say, Engine needs to be changed.........0
Bought our 2009 Saturn Vue Hybrid just shy of 6 months with low mileage. Did not have any problems with it until we took it in for an oil change at CO-OP in my local town. First the air conditioner started blowing hot air and not like normal hot air, like a breeze from Hell and at the same time where the base of the air conditioner is, you could feel heat on both sides of the base. After that corrected itself, the "stability tracking" "service hybrid engine" warning came on along with the check engine light. My hybrid would power down to 50% and it did this off and on for about a few weeks. Now it has escalated into water in my oil, using coolant, and leaking something. It has died on me twice and I couldn't restart it right away. I had to sit for at least 5 minutes before it would start again. It also has a surge to it, like when it is in gear, the RPM's will go up slightly then back down. I wish I would have read the reviews on these pieces of crap. I can't afford to be sinking money into this automobile. Did anyone have anything like this happen to them?0
Forgot to say the 2003 vue we have has got 168,000 miles on it and had the transmission replaced at 132,0000
UPDATE!!! Ours turned out to be the throttle body sensor and had to be replaced with the computer reset for a total of 500.00. I don't have that kind of money just laying around but I'm so glad it's nothing like 3000.00 like we thought it would be. Make sure you know your mechanic and you trust him with your life!!!!0

I'm having power loss with my Saturn Vue, 2003 V6 AWD Automatic. When driving the engine/transmission kind of jerks and the service light comes on. Then it goes into a "mode" where the gas peddle seems to deliver no fuel but it will drive slowly while accelerating but then smooth out when it reaches a certain speed (maybe 40 or so). When you shift down into Low gear it engages again and drives normally but it won't in drive. Can you tell me what's going on and what the problem might be?1

couchfamily05 Posts: 2
I bought a 2005 vue about a month ago... 10 minutes after we drove it off the lot we had problems... none while test driving though. It acted like it was going to die out then back fired... Then it ran fine and the check engine light came on. We took it back to car lot and they hooked their computer to it and said it was the map sensor and something else... A week later the motor blew. We got a replacement motor and put it in and it wouldn't crank. Had to tow it to a dealership. They said there was something wrong with the wiring. Of course they couldn't guarentee their work. At least it was running after that. We would be driving down the road and and die out. We would restart it and the engine light would be on. Codes for running rich and map sensor and oxygen sensor would pop up. Put a brand new map sensor on it.. Ran okay for a day then started all over again. found out it didn't have a catalytic convertor on it. So we bought a new cat for it and new oxygen sensors on it along with another new map sensor. Ran good for a day or two and it's doing it AGAIN... Other codes that have come up are random misfire, bad or missing gas cap and throttle position sensor. I'm running out of ideas, and money.... Can anybody help me. We even took it somewhere and had the injectors cleaned.0
imurs1970 Posts: 1I have a 2003 Saturn Vue. Once the security light starts blinking it cuts off and on and all of the gauges stop working and even causes the transmission to slip from time to time. It eventually will shut down completely and sometimes won't start at all. I'll have to wait about an hour before it will crank again. Can anyone please tell me what could possibly be wrong with it?0

"Carrie Sandoval and Brittany Woodall
The children's photographers who revolutionized and reinvented
modern baby photography."
Carrie Sandoval is a baby photographer based in southern California.
She has been recognized both locally and world wide for her inventive, conceptual photography work with newborn babies.
She is constantly challenging herself by using newfangled poses and props. Each and every baby is a complete inspiration!
Carrie is available for both portrait work as well as commercial work.
"Carrie Sandoval's and Brittany Woodall's images of newborns are enchanting.
It's the way they juxtapose creamy newborn skin with the rougher textures of treebark or antique wooden bowls or other unexpected elements.
These photographers have carved a new niche in a market that seemed to be saturated."
"Carrie Sandoval has been photographing babies for six years, and she has attracted quite a following.
It's easy to see why: her photos are composed with an almost magical attention to organic form, light and simplicity."
"Famed for their clean yet soft, creamy imagery that has been likened more closely to fine art than photography,
Carrie and Brittany have quickly become doyens of this delicate genre."
"They (Carrie and Brittany) are quite a dynamic pair and
have been defined by the children's photographer community as trend setters and
"THE definitive modern baby photographers".
Stephanie Beatty, photographer
"How fun for you two. Best of luck with your new venture.
Funny though, no matter how much detail and advice that you give to others,
NOBODY will ever even come close to what you two can do.
Although, most will want to try, and that is what makes a best seller! Again good luck… you two ROCK." ~Kelley Ryden, photographer
"I am a fellow photographer located in San Antonio, TX, and have been a huge fan of your work for quite some time.
I just wanted to thank you for always being so open to share, for being so inspirational, and continuing to raise the bar when it comes to newborn photography.
I love your style - the way you always keep the focus on the baby, and you have made a major impact on how I do my photography.
You keep it fresh, new, & continually amaze me with what you both come up with - and that's hard to do in an environment now where so many copy or imitate." ~ Sandi Hicks
"Just wanted to say that I've always loved your work, but lately you just seem to be soaring. Often imitated, never duplicated :) You rock!." ~ Jeanette LeBlanc
"I was eating lunch the other day and overheard two moms talking about your beautiful photography!
They were going on and on.... I felt sorta special to have a Carrie Original" ~ Chenin Boutwell
"So true, just when you think you have seen it all. . . Carrie's work is original, breathtaking, beautiful and always inspiring.
She consistently comes up with new, fresh poses and compositions.
Her work is stunning in both black and white and colour.
She so obviously has a joy for what she does, and it is reflected in all her work. So, so happy that she shares here." ~ Jane Williams
"You have a God given talent that is untouchable with newborns.
You and Britt are going to just rock the California coast and wherever travels may take you." ~ Susan Braswell
"To watch Carrie and Britt in action was amazing, to say the least!
They are the original baby whisperers, no kidding! Babies melt in their hands. and bend. and flex. and smile." ~ Patrina Odette

Cold and heat therapy are two pain relief strategies that are easy to use, economical and effective, and there are reasons to have both options on hand. A cold pad or ice pack is usually the first step after an injury to prevent or stop swelling and inflammation—that's why a twisted ankle is usually iced as soon as it happens. Heat is usually used to soothe an area some time after the initial injury has occurred. A hot pad helps in increasing circulation and flexibility, which is why it feels so good on stiff joints and achy muscles and may help before you exercise. There are many options for delivering hot and cold therapy, some low-tech, like the old-fashioned hot water bottle, some high-tech and customized to where you need relief most.
Electric Heating Pads
There are many ways to deliver heat therapy, and the simple standard is a heating pad. The Dry Electric Heating Pad has a simple 14" by 12" surface with a removable, washable cover—you simply plug it in and apply it over the area needing heat.
Moist Heating Pads
Some people find that their pain responds better to a moist heating pad with similar soothing to that of a hot shower. Look for a pad that produces moist heat automatically. With the Theratherm Digital Moist Heating Pad in a longer shoulder-neck size of 20" by 23", moisture is drawn from humidity in the air and held in the outer flannel cover. There's also a digital hand control that lets you program and monitor both the temperature and treatment time. You can choose temperatures between 88 and 166 degrees F and treatment times between 1 and 60 minutes.
Infrared Heat Therapy
Far-infrared heat stimulates peripheral blood vessels to improve circulation and help bring oxygen to joints and extremities, which can speed the healing of sprains and strains, relieving pain and reducing recover time after an injury. The Therasage Far-Infrared Heat Therapy Healing Pad features far-infrared heat negative ions and natural jade. When the jade is heated, it emits far-infrared heat that penetrates deep into your body as much as two to three inches below the skin.
Microwaveable Heat Pads
For safety when you don't want to use an electric heating pad, heat pads that get hot in the microwave and don't need to be plugged in while using are a treatment option. Look for reusable heat pads like Microwaveable Moist Neck Heating Pad with MicroBeads. When heated, the MicroBeads release retained moisture providing therapeutic moist heat. The MicroBeads come stitched into a soft fabric, designed to allow the maximum release of moisture and are shaped to fit the body's contours. They won't rupture, leak or dry out. Designed to offer safety and convenience, after treatment, the beads absorb moisture back from the air, ready to be used again.
One Time Relief
Disposable heat pads and patches offer instant heat therapy without any equipment or power source needed. Beyond BodiHeat Neck, Shoulder, and Wrist Pain Relief is a fast acting heat pad that you apply directly to your skin for up to 6 hours of pain relief. Each disposable, single use pad is odorless and measures 5" x 5.5" so you can pinpoint soothing heat directly where you need it the most.
Body Shaped Pads
Most heat treatment options are available in shapes that conform to the bodyparts that need soothing, such as shoulders, neck, back and hands. The Bed Buddy Naturals Plush Neck & Hand Wrap is a great design that soothes neck and shoulders plus has warm pockets for hand therapy. The heat lasts up to an hour and it can be used over and over. The plush cover is removable and washable.
Cold Comfort
Icing or applying cold to a sprain needs to happen right away, so it's smart to keep cold packs ready to go in the freezer. Ice It! packs freeze quicker, maintain low temperatures longer and stay flexible when frozen to mold around painful areas for the most therapeutic benefit. The Comfort-Flex elastic strap secures the system and provides customized compression, so you can move about with it in place if you need to. The plush Stay-Put cover is fully removable for machine wash and dry. Designs are available to suit different bodyparts—there's a 12" by 13" knee system, a 10.5" by 13" ankle/elbow/foot system and a 13" by 16" shoulder system.
Hot & Cold Pads In One
Some packs can provide your choice of cold and heat therapy. Therapod Thermal Relief offers moist heat therapy on one side to relax stiffness, improve flexibility and relieve pain and cold compress therapy on the other for swelling and inflammation. An adjustable, hands-free strap lets you attach it for a comfortable, secure fit.

Information for Patients
Also called: Spontaneous abortion
A miscarriage is an unexpected loss of pregnancy before the 20th week of pregnancy. Most miscarriages happen very early in the pregnancy, often before a woman even knows she is pregnant.
Factors that may contribute to miscarriage include
- A genetic problem with the fetus
- Problems with the uterus or cervix
- Chronic diseases, such as polycystic ovary syndrome
Signs of a miscarriage include vaginal spotting, abdominal pain or cramping, and fluid or tissue passing from the vagina. Bleeding can be a symptom of miscarriage, but many women also have it in early pregnancy and don't miscarry. To be sure, contact your health care provider right away if you have bleeding.
Women who miscarry early in their pregnancy usually do not need any treatment. In some cases, there is tissue left in the uterus. Doctors use a procedure called a dilatation and curettage (D&C) or medicines to remove the tissue.
Counseling may help you cope with your grief. Later, if you do decide to try again, work closely with your health care provider to lower the risks. Many women who have a miscarriage go on to have healthy babies.

Twins, Triplets, Multiple Births
If you are pregnant with more than one baby, you are far from alone. Multiple births are up in the United States. More women are having babies after age 30 and more are taking fertility drugs. Both boost the chance of carrying more than one baby. A family history of twins also makes multiples more likely.
Years ago, most twins came as a surprise. Now, most women know about a multiple pregnancy early. Women with multiple pregnancies should see their health care providers more often than women who are expecting one baby. Multiple pregnancy babies have a much higher risk of being born prematurely and having a low birth weight. There is also more of a risk of disabilities. Some women have to go on bed rest to delay labor. Finally, they may deliver by C-section, especially if there are three babies or more.
Parenting multiples can be a challenge. Volunteer help and support groups for parents of multiples can help.

General Equivalence Map Definitions
The ICD-10 and ICD-9 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
- Approximate Flag - The approximate flag is on, indicating that the relationship between the code in the source system and the code in the target system is an approximate equivalent.
- No Map Flag - The no map flag indicates that a code in the source system is not linked to any code in the target system.
- Combination Flag - The combination flag indicates that more than one code in the target system is required to satisfy the full equivalent meaning of a code in the source system.
