Wiki Collaboration
Greetings RockOfVictory,
I'm going to email you an invite to the rWiki Yahoo group I started. It's got most of the Christian Wiki admins on board, though it hasn't really gone anywhere and has been inactive for some time. You'd be mor ethan welcome to try to revive a discussion there. — FrJohn (talk)
- Ick! I stopped using Yahoo! Groups about three or four years ago. Why use something like that when we have MediaWiki? I guess Yahoo! serves as good neutral ground, but I still think we could carve out a good MediaWiki "Christian Meta Wiki" home on the web somewhere. Check out Ben's thoughts, in particular. CKB may be a good place to do it (1) because you don't have to register to comment and (2) it's Wikia-hosted and will likely have 99% uptime, not to mention that the software is always up to date. On the other hand, the Wikia-hosting limits the kinds of customizations we can make to it. --J. J. 20:32, August 10, 2006 (CDT)

Jitters gave wing to Globe's 'Widow'
Rising playwright Brunstetter channeled dread into mom-in-law saga
The play "Be a Good Little Widow" was inspired in part by a morbid fear of plane crashes, Bekah Brunstetter was explaining over the phone one recent morning.
This particular recent morning happened to be the day before Brunstetter — whose play involves a newlywed dealing with the sudden death of her husband (you'll never guess how) — was set to depart for a wedding. In London. And she wasn't going by ocean liner.
"I'm not looking forward so much to the flight," Brunstetter acknowledged, in a bit of chipper understatement. "I'm not in love with flying."
Brunstetter went on to explain that she "kind of wrote the play to combat that
OK, but would she maybe rather talk about a different subject, since she'd be winging six miles above the planet in a matter of hours?
"No, I'll talk about it. See, the more I talk about it, the more ironic it would be if the plane crashed tomorrow. So it's fine."
(Spoiler alert: Brunstetter made it to London and back home to L.A. safely.)
Brunstetter's fear of flying, by the way, has gotten better since she started writing "Be a Good Little Widow" several years ago — partly because "I have to fly a lot more now. At a certain point, you have to get over it."
It's a trade-off that comes with growing success for the prolific North Carolina native, who now writes for the L.A.-based TV show "Switched at Birth" (on the
Those productions include the one of "Widow" that's now up and running in the Old Globe's arena-style White Theatre (the show officially opens Thursday).
The humor-laced play centers on Melody (played by Zoë Winters), who finds herself dealing not only with widowhood but the not-so-diplomatic incursions of her mother-in-law, Hope (Christine Estabrook).
"I think Hope has always made her feel she's not good enough," Brunstetter says of the fraught dynamic between the two. "And I think Melody is still figuring out who she is. Hope is just one of those people who makes her feel immediately, incredibly insecure. She loses all her confidence, she has no idea how to conduct herself. It turns her into a total weirdo."
Acting up
The pair's relationship, and the play's storyline, actually derive from a whole lot of things that were running through Brunstetter's head when off-Broadway's Ars Nova commissioned her to write "Widow" in 2009.
For one, while she had flown many times before, a spate of major crashes around that time "just unlocked this anxiety in me — the realization you're gonna die, and you don't have control over that fact, all of those things."
Also, "at that point in my life I had never been to a funeral before, and I always kind of worried about that. I ended up thinking about that a lot. Some people lose loved ones earlier in life, and that really kind of shapes them and forces them to kind of drop into themselves and grow up.
"And if you haven't experienced that kind of loss, it just makes you wonder what that's going to do to you and how you're going to conduct yourself."
The idea of what constitutes proper behavior was another of the playwright's fixations that made its way into the piece.
"I just always think that as a contemporary young woman, I'm not always acting as ladylike as I should," Brunstetter says. "I have a pretty old-fashioned mother and grandmother, and I'm constantly amused and intrigued by the things they've instilled in me. The things that have worked, and the things that are crazy. That's just a world that interests me a lot."
Related to that, Brunstetter adds: "One of the first things I knew about the play was that I wanted Melody to want to (sleep with) another guy right after her husband is dead. That really interested me. That messiness, that uncouth behavior felt really truthful to me."
Writing for her life
Brunstetter didn't start out writing plays, but by her account she has been a writer of some kind since she was a kid. And these days, she never quite seems to stop writing. Besides the TV job and the many plays to her name (notable works include "A Long and Happy Life," "House of Home" and "OOHRAH!"), she also keeps a candid and very entertaining blog (called "I Care Deeply").
"My blog is sort of like, 'What's Bekah doing?' I'm like an open book. In a minute you can maybe see what my sandwich (from the lunchtime interview) looks like."
Her very early forays into short stories gave way to poetry around high school, which is when Brunstetter also joined the drama club. ("It was more of a social thing; it seemed to be where the weirdos were.")
'Be a Good Little Widow' | When: In previews. Opens Thursday. 7 p.m. Tuesdays-Wednesdays (plus 2 p.m. May 29); 8 p.m. Thursdays-Fridays; 2 and 8 p.m. Saturdays (no matinee June 1); 2 and 7 p.m. Sundays (no matinees this weekend) | Where: Old Globe's Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, Balboa Park | Tickets: $29 and up (discounts available) | Phone: (619) 234-5623 | Online: oldglobe.org
She started writing plays in college, and now "I really have to fight myself to have a story not turn into a play. I've been doing it so long that it's the way my brain translates the world, I guess."
Brunstetter admits that at the pace she produces new work, circling back to reconsider a play such as "Widow" can trigger some mixed feelings.
"It's weird, because you're really nostalgic," she says. "You're like, 'Oh god, I remember where I was in my head, in my heart, when I wrote that.' At the same time, you want to punch that person. 'You're an idiot, you're shallow!' (Because) you know so much about the world now.
"(But) I've learned the hard way, I can't rewrite a play three or four years later. I just have to let it be what it is. If you go back in there and start to take it apart, you're going to ruin it."
And she seems to be feeling pretty serene about leaving "Widow" in the hands of the Globe and director Hal Brooks.
"I know they'll do a great job, and I feel good about this play," Brunstetter says, noting that Ars Nova was very thorough and hands-on in developing the work. "I feel it's the most dramaturgically sound thing I've ever written. I know the play expresses what I wanted to say, and I know it's funny and it has heart.
"And I think it speaks to loss, and to feeling like a little kid when you're a grown-up. And that's why I wanted to write it.
"I think I'm gonna like it. Yeah. I feel good about this one."

W&L tops UVA: But Wahoo leaders don't mind
The University of Virginia just tied for number one public university in the annual U.S. News and World Report rankings. However, in the recent Princeton Review's Best 351 Colleges, UVA didn't make the cut in one key category where tiny Washington and Lee came in at number five.
The listing? Top party schools.
"I think it's appropriate we didn't make the list," says Susan Bruce, director of UVA's Center for Alcohol and Substance Education. "Our annual reports shows our numbers on use of alcohol are starting to go down."
That hasn't always been the case. The infamous annual debauchery that was Easters assured the university a high ranking among the national pantheon of party schools. That is, until revelry in Madison Bowl, aka "Mud Bowl," got out of hand in 1976 and was quashed in 1983.
In 1987, when Playboy published its list of top party schools, UVA came in at number 10. By the time Hefner's mag did a second list in 2002, the university was nowhere to be found– the only Virginia school mentioned was JMU, coming in at number 25.
[The Playboy list itself has become legendary. Although the 1987 ranking was the first, rumors circulated as far back as 1955 that Playboy surveyed drinking on campuses and left UVA off the list. Why? Because if wouldn't be fair to rank "professionals." That's all urban legend, according to the debunking website snopes.com.]
It took the 1997 drinking death of 21-year-old Leslie Baltz to galvanize university efforts to combat the binge drinking traditional at Mr. Jefferson's university since the school's earliest days. Baltz died after allegedly partaking the "4th Year fifth,"– a practice in which seniors drink a fifth of liquor before or during the last home football game– and then falling down a flight of stairs in her apartment.
Earlier this year, UVA President John Casteen received the first Presidents Leadership Group award for his role in addressing alcohol abuse, which has become a concern on campuses nationwide.
"National trends show that student drinking has gone down," says Bruce. And instead of despairing over numbers that indicate 20 percent of students drink to excess, "We flip it around to say that 80 percent are responsible."
Still, the university isn't ready to rank on the teetotalers list. Class of '03 member Suzannah Evans' reaction to UVA not making the top party schools' list?
"I'm surprised," she says. "I don't know what kind of criteria they use."
Quarterback Matt Schaub finds no dearth of good parties. Being on the football team no doubt helps, but "there's a good social scene," he says. [See Hot Seat interview with Schaub, page 20.–editor]
"I'm relieved we weren't included," says Cavalier Daily columnist Kimberly Liu. She concedes that at one point, being known as a party school was a draw for students. But now, "We can't afford to be on Princeton Review's top party school list unless we're higher up on their top academic school list."
UVA did make the grade in other, more sober categories of this year's Princeton Review, coming in at number 15 under "best academic bang for your buck" and at 15 again for "great college library."
Meanwhile, Washington and Lee burnished its boozing reputation by taking sixth place for "lots of hard liquor," third place for "lots of beer" and second place for "major fraternity and sorority scene."
The Lexington university is number one in the category, "students most nostalgic for Ronald Reagan."
Last year, Virginia Tech ranked number 19 on the top party school scale. But Bruce doesn't put too much stock in party school lists. "If you talk to students at the big parties, you're going to think it's a party school."
As for W&L's party superlative, she says, "I wish them the best of luck in getting off the list."

HAVE EXTRA/UNNEEDED TICKETHow you will distribute tickets (mail badges, e-mail receipt barcode, etc): I'm not certain exactly how this works. If you can get a ticket at will-call just by getting my receipt barcode, that would be preferable to me, as I have to walk 3 miles to get to a post-office. However, if that doesn't work, I can mail you the badge.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I am fairly certain that the barcode is not enough to get in to the event if your tickets have been mailed to you. If your purchase was before 2/17 (which it was if you got a 3-day badge since it isn't 2/17 yet) you will be mailed your tickets and will need to actually send those tickets out to whomever purchases them from you.
I'm not sure when the name/address change cutoff is, but I'm guessing it's around 2/17 which is the cutoff for having tickets mailed. Email [email protected] to find out about changing address (not sure if name is possible). You sound like you know what you're doing, I'm just putting this here for reference for people that may not.

Block 2 of the Splendid Sampler™ has arrived. 10 – 1 1/2″ half square triangle (HST) butterflies nesting amongst a garden of 26 – 1″ finished squares. This is what we would call a 6-patch block configuration. It's a great way to used up those tiny scraps and practice your small piecing technique.
Here are some tips for small piecing:
Stabilise the fabric.
Use a starch product to give body to the fabric before cutting. It makes it easier to cut stretchy or open weave cottons. I use a spray starch from the super market and following manufacturers instructions on the can give it a few sprays to make it nice and firm. I don't starch again until the block is finished.
Sharp is best.
Replace the blade in your rotary cutter if it is dull and grabbing the fabric. If it starts to miss threads as it cuts it probably needs replacing. When you cut it should feel like your are slicing through fresh bread. Also, check your cutting mat for nicks and tears. This can cause the blade to slip.
Accuracy in cutting.
Take time and cut your pieces accurately. Piecing is easier if your pieces are square. Sometimes when cutting many strips the straight cutting line drifts on an angle. Check after every cut that the edge is straight. Trim if necessary.
Look directly over your ruler as you cut and move your hand as you cut up the ruler to hold it firm so it does not slip.
Here is a great youtube video on how to cut fabric.
Use a good quality 50wt thread for piecing. 50wt is a finer thread that helps alleviate the bulk in a stitched seam. It's very strong ( I use it in long arming). My favourite thread is Aurifil.
Choosing the right colour thread is also important. Select a thread that blends. Go light if the block has a majority of white or light fabrics.
Accurate seams.
Sewing with a scant seam assists in compensating for the compounded loss in measurement from multiple seams. What is a scant seam? It's a seam 1-2 threads shy of a 1/4″. Setting up your machine to sew the perfect scant seam is a must.
For example: Imagine you have 5 seams in one row of this block. For each seam you may sew a tad over the 1/4″ seam allowance. That may add up to 1/16″. Compound this figure with the width lost in the thickness of the thread and impact of pressing the seam to one side. It may add another 1/16″, 1/8″ or 1/4″ loss in the final measurement.
Here is a list of a few places to start when deciphering the mysteries of the scant seam:
Scant – 5 little letter (Moda)
Quiltcetera – quarter inch accuracy
Pat Sloan – Test your 1/4 seams
Single hole sewing plate
This plate is a must for straight stitching. Not all machines have them but if you do have one, use it. It stops the fabric being sucked in. My machine has a safety feature which locks the stitch width to '0' so if I change the stitch type to zigzag it will not break the needle. If you don't have a stitch width locking feature make sure you place a sticky note warning on your machine so you avoid a nasty accident.
Scrap starters
They are known by many names but they all have the same purpose to make it easy to start piecing. Does your fabric get sucked into the plate? Do you find it hard to start on a pointed corner of a triangle piece? Staring from half way, stitch through a small scrap of folded fabric first and then continue on to your first piece leaving about 1/4″ of thread. It is similar to chain piecing. It provides enough tension to keep the fabric running smoothly under the foot and over the feed dogs.
Pressing seams
I have made this block 4 times. I tried with seams open and seams to one side. Opening your seams does remove bulk and makes the block flatter in appearance. It also helps with the accuracy of the final measurement by removing the amount lost when the seam is folded over to one side.
Don't be afraid to open seams. Some helpful tips are (1) Start and finish your seam with locking stitches and (2) check the tension of your stitches when you press the seam open. Are the stitches too loose? Sometimes shortening the stitch length a tad can help.
Extra tidbits
- Starch your block once it is complete and square block. I am leaving all my blocks to square until my 100 blocks are completed. I'll give them another starch, press and square to the same size all at once.
- Press your block, not iron the seams so that you are not stretching the fabric and skewing the block.
- If you need to unpick a seam or two (or three), unpick gently as not to stretch the block. If you have had to unpick many times and a piece is looking a bit shabby, cut another one and replace it.
- (Optional) Some fabrics tend to fray around the edges. Sew a stay stitch around your block 1/8″ from edge. This helps stabilise the block and keeps the seams from pulling.
- Try making the half square triangles without drawing lines. I use the CPA by Kari Carr.
What would a kaleidoscope or swarm of butterfly blocks look like ….. ?
Did you know a group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope or swarm? I like kaleidoscope better. It has a more quilty sound to it.
I always have a little play when I design a block to see what it would like in a quilt. The wings of the butterflies make a secondary star pattern.

Last weekend we celebrated Violet's 2nd birthday with family. It is hard to believe that she is two years old already, but as they say, time does fly by...
Grandma and Grandpa Chicken arrived a bit early to help out with some of the cooking and to spend some time with the girls. As it turns out, the namesake was in full effect as a tub of baby chicks was brought over. No, we are not getting chickens, but the flock(?) is growing at G&G's house.
As more of the family arrived, we headed outside where the cousins gave the playset a good workout. The swinging seems pretty tame, but there was some crazy ball down the slide game that was invented later on. Luckily no serious injuries!
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to! Well she didn't actually cry, but this picture turned out great!
The crew enjoying some good food and great conversation
I love my gluten free, soy free, dairy free birthday cake! Thanks Mom! (actually it wasn't that bad - she had three pieces!)
There was a brief time when it was going to rain, then not rain, then rain, so we just moved the party inside. Violet didn't really feel in the mood to open her presents, so that is what big sisters are for!
Violet threw an absolute fit when we didn't open the bubbles. After about 60 seconds of yelling, we caved, but she still wasn't happy until she could hold them. That was not going to happen!

Stepping out of the performance of THE PIANIST OF WILLESDEN LANE currently premiering at the Royal George Theatre, I overheard a woman remark, as she wiped tears away, "Talk about theater!" The standing ovation minutes before, was testament to the fact that the audience agreed with her. I certainly did. This one-woman show starring internationally acclaimed storyteller and pianist, Mona Golabek, in a limited engagement, so get your tickets immediately. It is a rare opportunity to see such an amazing, remarkable performance, which was well executed, moving and compelling. The Chicago premiere follows successful productions in Los Angeles and Boston.
The production is adapted and directed by Hershey Felder and based on the book The Children of Willesden Lane by Golabek and Lee Cohen. Mona Golabek's performance was remarkable. The way in which the two characters, the piano and Golabek interacted to move the story forward was mesmerizing. Golabek began her story, telling about growing up in Los Angeles and having a mother who played the piano. I grew up in Los Angeles and my mother played the piano, but then her story moved in a different direction, Set in1938 and London during the Blitzkrieg, THE PIANIST OF WILLESDEN LANE features Mona Golabek as her mother, noted pianist and author Lisa Jura.
My companion, and I enjoyed this production thoroughly and thought it was one of the most amazing productions we had ever seen. I was so glad I followed my own instincts and decided to attend this performance even after my friend pointed out that she had seen Hershey Felder so many times and she was almost tired of stories about the Holocaust and the kinder transport. Large frames of different sizes and shapes lined the back wall and into the frames films were projected and effectively transported the audience through history. When the kinder transport experience was described, I thought back to a recent walking tour I was part of in London. It concluded at Liverpool Station where a I viewed a monument depicting the children of the Kinder Transport. (The tour)
With her background, it is no wonder that the production is wonderful. American concert pianist Mona Golabek has appeared at the Hollywood Bowl, the Kennedy Center and the Royal Festival Hall alongside major orchestras worldwide. A Grammy nominee, she has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Avery Fisher Prize, and has been the subject of several PBS television documentaries. Golabek is the creator and voice of The Romantic Hours, a syndicated radio program, which combines classical music with readings of poetry, letters, and stories, and can be heard on 80 stations and XM Satellite Radio. Golabek and her family are founders of the non-profit Hold On To Your Music, which spreads the message of the power of the arts, especially music, to embolden the human spirit. In addition, Golabek and Lee Cohen are award-winning authors of The Children of Willesden Lane, the book upon which THE PIANIST OF WILLESDEN LANE is based. It is a riveting tale of hope that is a powerful testament to how music helps us survive through our darkest times. I felt I had a rare opportunity to see a performance well executed, moving and inspiring. To read and interview with Mona Golabek (Click Here)

Only senior authors of a work who take complete scientific as well as financial responsibility of a submission may submit the work. Manuscripts cannot be submitted on behalf of the corresponding author by any agent other than the corresponding author's own office.
Cover Letter: The submitting author must accept responsibility for the following:
- The submitting author has the written consent from all authors to submit the manuscript and that all authors accept complete responsibility for the contents of the manuscript.
- The manuscript has not been previously published, or is not currently under consideration elsewhere, and that the work reported will not be submitted for publication elsewhere until a final decision has been made as to its acceptability by Advances in Wound Care (note that posting of submitted material on a website is considered pre-publication).
- The manuscript is truthful original work.
Advances in Wound Care publishes all accepted papers within 72 hours of acceptance in their unedited, uncorrected format. It is important to note that the information that is published online, and in all indexing services, is pulled directly from the data that is populated into the fields in Manuscript Central – NOT from the manuscript file – when the paper is originally uploaded to the system for peer review. Consequently, any errors contained in the system will remain on our website and all indexing services, including Medline, until the next revision* of the article is published. It is critical that submitting agents enter all authors' names correctly into the system at the time of submission. Any errors within the manuscript will remain on our website until the subsequent online version is published.
*The next revision will take place after the corresponding author sees page proofs, makes any necessary corrections, and returns the changes to the Publisher. Once the alterations are completed, the revised version will be published on our website, and the newly corrected information will then be released to Medline/PubMed, in addition to any other indexing services in which the Journal is included.
Please note that the typical time between acceptance of a paper and page proof distribution is approximately 4-8 weeks depending on the length and complexity of the paper.
Please upload individual files of all manuscript material—do NOT upload a single PDF file containing all text, figure, and table files of your article. Once all individual files are uploaded on to Manuscript Central, the system will automatically create a single PDF proof for you and the peer-review process.
Peer Review Process
Format. Manuscripts that are not formatted strictly according to the guidelines described herein or in the guide for Online Submission will be administratively rejected without any peer review.
Keywords (Areas of Expertise)
To facilitate the peer review process, select 4-6 keywords from the drop-down list of pre-selected terms when submitting your manuscript. These keywords will assist in the selection of skilled reviewers in the field for the purposes of peer review.
Science. Advances in Wound Care can only accept highly competitive articles. All submissions, other than those in the News and Views track, are subject to peer review.
Article Types
Critical Reviews: Articles in this track should address late-breaking science in a focused area relevant to wound healing and care. Critical Reviews should range from 3,000 to 4,000 words (excluding a maximum of 50 references and figure legends) with at least 6 illustrations.
Technology Advances: Covers novel technologies related to wound care product development or wound healing research methodology.
Discovery Express: Aimed at rapid communication of short original articles. Two-week (average) peer review to decision. 3,000 word limit, excluding methods, figure legends, references, and abstract; maximum of 40 references; no more than 6 figures or tables.
News and Views: Covers case observations of extraordinary significance and newsworthy developments in the wound care community. May include: review of patents and other relevant intellectual properties, business of wound care, law, insurance, billing, global issues, ethics, quality control, special considerations and so on. News and Views articles should not exceed a total of 1,500 words, excluding a maximum of 9 references. Photos may be included as part of illustration.
Comprehensive Invited Reviews: Written by invited authoritative experts. Comprehensive Invited Reviews are to be between 5,000 and 7,500 words long (excluding a maximum of 150 references and figure legends) and must include at least 10 illustrations. If you are an authoritative expert (senior investigator with long standing and extensive publication record) in a field relevant to the Journal and are interested in contributing a Comprehensive Invited Review article, please write to the Editor-in-Chief. These articles are intended to be full-length critical appraisals of topics that would be of long-term archival value. Textbook-style coverage is strongly discouraged. Emphasis should be placed on late-breaking advances and critical treatment. Advances in Wound Care dedicates a substantial amount of space to these articles. To ensure balanced treatment of any given subject, these articles are typically reviewed by several experts in that field. These experts are identified in the publication as Reviewing Editors unless they opt against it.
All accepted manuscripts will be processed through plagiarism detection software, and any notice of acceptance is considered conditional, pending the review and verification of the plagiarism detection report. If the report detects a high incidence of overlap in text, the Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to rescind the decision to accept the paper.
Patients and Study Participants
All manuscripts must comply with the privacy and confidentiality requirements outlined on the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals website. For more information, visit http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/protection-of-research-participants.html
When articles include reports of studies on human subjects, state in the Methods section that an appropriate institutional review board or ethics committee approved the study. Authors who do not have formal ethics review committees should follow the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. In the Methods section, state that informed consent was obtained from subjects (specify written or verbal).
The principal author must state that if animals were used experimentally, permission was obtained from the appropriate committee(s), and that the animals were treated humanely and the standards conformed to those of current ethical animal research practices.
In addition, text and photographs should not reveal any identifying information unless it is essential for scientific purposes (in which case, consent should be obtained). Masking the subjects' eyes in photographs is often insufficient to protect their identity.
Study Design and Ethics
Documented review and approval from a formally constituted review board (Institutional Review Board or Ethics committee) should be required for all studies involving people, medical records, and human tissues. For those investigators who do not have access to formal ethics review committees, the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki should be followed. If the study is judged exempt from review, a statement from the committee should be required. Informed consent by participants should always be secured. If not possible, an institutional review board must decide if this is ethically acceptable. This information should be outlined in the cover letter accompanying the submission, and a sentence declaring adherence should be included in the acknowledgment section of the manuscript.
Animal experiments should require full compliance with local, national, ethical, and regulatory principles, and local licensing arrangements.
Definitions of Scientific Misconduct
Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers generally follows the guidelines and rules regarding scientific misconduct put forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and the Office of Research Integrity (ORI).
Scientific misconduct and violation of publishing ethics vary and can be intentionally or unintentionally perpetrated. Some examples of misconduct and violations include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Scientific Misconduct: Fabrication, falsification, concealment, deceptive reporting, or misrepresentation of any data constitutes misconduct and/or fraud.
Authorship Disputes: Deliberate misrepresentation of a scientist's contribution to the published work, or purposefully omitting the contributions of a scientist.
Misappropriation of the ideas of others: Improper use of scholarly exchange and activity may constitute fraud. Wholesale appropriation of such material constitutes misconduct.
Violation of generally accepted research practices: Serious deviation from accepted practices in proposing or carrying out research, improper manipulation of experiments to obtain biased results, deceptive statistical or analytical manipulations, or improper reporting of results constitutes misconduct and/or fraud.
Material failure to comply with legislative and regulatory requirements affecting research:
Including but not limited to serious or substantial, repeated, willful violations of applicable local regulations and law involving the use of funds, care of animals, human subjects, investigational drugs, recombinant products, new devices, or radioactive, biologic, or chemical materials constitutes misconduct.
- Conflict of Interest: Nondisclosure of any conflicts, direct or indirect, to the Journal which prevents you from being unbiased constitutes misconduct.
- Deliberate misrepresentation: of qualifications, experience, or research accomplishments to advance the research program, to obtain external funding, or for other professional advancement constitutes misconduct and/or fraud.
Plagiarism: Purposely claiming another's work or idea as your own constitutes misconduct and/or fraud.
- Simultaneous Submission: Submitting a paper to more than one publication at the same time constitutes misconduct.
Responding to Allegations of Possible Misconduct
The Publisher is committed to helping protect the integrity of the public scientific record by sharing reasonable concerns with authorities who are in the position to conduct an appropriate investigation into an allegation. As such, all allegations of misconduct will be referred to the Editor-In-Chief of the Journal who in turn will review the circumstances, possibly in consultation with associate editors and/or members of the editorial board. Initial fact-finding will usually include a request to all the involved parties to state their case and explain the circumstances in writing. In questions of research misconduct centering on methods or technical issues, the Editor-In-Chief may confidentially consult experts who are blinded to the identity of the individuals, or if the allegation is against an editor, an outside expert. The Editor-In-Chief will arrive at a conclusion as to whether there is enough reasonable evidence that the possibility of misconduct occurred.
When allegations concern authors, the peer review and publication process for the manuscript in question will cease while the process described herein is researched. The investigation will be taken to completion even if the authors withdraw their paper. In the case of allegations against reviewers or editors, they will be replaced in the review process while the matter is investigated.
Editors or reviewers who are found to have engaged in scientific misconduct will be removed from further association with the Journal, and reported to their institution.
If an inquiry concludes there is a reasonable possibility of misconduct, the Editor-in-Chief will retract the paper from the Journal and the scientific record. If the paper is still under peer review, the Editor-in-Chief will withdraw the paper from consideration to the Journal.
All allegations will be kept confidential.
Copyright Agreement
Manuscripts should be submitted with the understanding that they have neither been published, nor are under consideration for publication elsewhere, except in the form of an abstract. Prior abstract publications should be described in the form of a footnote to the title. Published manuscripts become the sole property of the Journal and will be copyrighted by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. By submitting a manuscript to the Journal, the author(s) agree(s) to each of the above conditions. In addition, the author(s) explicitly assign(s) any copyrighted ownership he/she (they) may have in such manuscript to the Journal.
Upon acceptance of any manuscript, EACH author listed on a paper will receive a follow-up email with instructions on how to complete our online Copyright Agreement form. It is critical to ensure the accuracy of ALL authors' email addresses when uploading submissions to Manuscript Central to ensure the proper delivery of all email communications, particularly the Copyright Agreement.
The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with coauthors to make sure they have completed the online copyright form. Authors not permitted to release copyright must still return the form acknowledging the statement of the reason for not releasing the copyright.
Type the entire manuscript, including figure legends, tables, and references, double-spaced using Microsoft Word. Leave 1-inch margins on all sides. Manuscripts should be written succinctly and should cite select references that are directly relevant. For guidance on length of each article, see section on article types above. Manuscripts not following these length related guidelines will be subjected to administrative rejection.
Title page: Specify the type of article. Title page must list the full title of the article; author(s); all authors' full affiliations; an abbreviated title for the running head (not to exceed 50 characters, including spaces); name and address of corresponding author, contact telephone, fax number, and e-mail address. Where necessary, identify each author's affiliation by superscript numbers matched to the appropriate institution. Please list word count (excluding abstract, references, and figure legends). Manuscript keywords (search terms): On the title page of the manuscript, include a minimum of three (3), maximum of six (6), search terms that will aid in the discoverability of the article in indexing services and search engines. These terms may or may not be different from the terms you selected for the peer review process and areas of expertise. You will be asked to retype these search terms in the submission form when uploading your manuscript. These keywords will be included in the published article. If the search terms entered do not match the manuscript, the manuscript will serve as the default.
Second page: Provide an abstract of no more than 250 words. For Review articles, the abstract should consist of the following sections: Significance, Recent Advances, Critical Issues, and Future Directions. For Discovery Express and Technology Advances articles, the abstract should consist of the following sections: Objective, Approach, Results, Innovation, and Conclusion. For News and Views articles, the abstract does not need to be structured with headings. Submissions with abstracts longer than 250 words will not be considered for publication.
Following pages (Discovery Express and Technology Advances): The abstract should be followed by the following sections: Introduction, Clinical Problem Addressed (even if it is basic science research, highlight what clinical problem is the work relevant to), Materials and Methods, Results (for Technology Advances track provide schematic diagram of device as appropriate), Discussion, Innovation, Key Findings (present as itemized bullet list of 3-4 major findings), Acknowledgments and Funding Sources, Author Disclosure and Ghostwriting, About the Authors, Abbreviations and Acronyms, References, Tables, and Figure legends. Begin each of these sections on a separate page. The Innovation section cannot exceed 100 words and cannot be diffused. In 4-6 sentences it must summarize the current state of the field and then cite specific results reported to explain how this work helps to substantially advance the field. If the work has clinical significance, please be sure to highlight that. Do not regurgitate findings.
Following pages (Reviews): The abstract should be followed by a table of content that highlights the sections (1.0, 2.0) and sub-sections (e.g. 2.1, 2.1.1 etc). Each Review article must start with these three sections: 1.0 Scope and Significance (one paragraph on the scope of the review and its significance); 2.0 Translational Relevance (one paragraph); 3.0 Clinical Relevance (one paragraph). Each Review article must have both Relevance sections regardless of whether the article is translational (includes basic science) or clinical. Each of these paragraphs should not exceed 100 words. These sections may be followed by a Background or Overview section. The Discussion section should come next, which will encompass the majority of the text. At the end of the Review article, please include a Summary of one or two paragraphs, as well as an itemized list of Take-Home Messages. This list of messages will be presented as a sidebar in the final published version of your article, and is aimed at broad readership who may not be an expert in the subject. For example, for an article on keratinocyte cell proliferation, think of addressing a wound care nurse. Similarly, for a clinical study, think of communicating to a basic scientist who may not be aware of the clinical aspects of wound care. The Take-Home Messages will be followed by these required sections: Acknowledgments and Funding Sources, Author Disclosure and Ghostwriting, About the Authors, Abbreviations and Acronyms, References, Tables, and Figure legends.
Following pages (News and Views): The format for News and Views articles is flexible. The following sections are suggested but not required: Introduction, Clinical Problem Addressed (highlight what clinical problem is the article relevant to), Discussion, Innovation, Summary, and Key Findings or Take-Home Messages. The article must end with the sections Author Disclosure and Ghostwriting, About the Authors, Abbreviations and Acronyms, References, Tables, and Figure legends.
A complete list of abbreviations (covering text as well as illustrations) arranged in alphabetical order must be provided at the end just before the References section.
Number pages (bottom-center) consecutively; the first author's last name should appear on each page. The source of cells utilized (species, sex, strain, race, age of donor, whether primary or established) should be clearly indicated. The source of reagents should be stated (name, city, and state within parentheses) when first cited. Publication of results is based on the principle that results must be verifiable. Authors must expect to make unique reagents available to qualified investigators either directly or through a recognized distributor. The text should be clear and concise, conforming to accepted standards of English style and usage. Unfamiliar or new terms should be defined when first used (see section on Abbreviations, Symbols, and Terminology below). Jargon, clichés, and laboratory slang should not be used.
About the Authors: After you have uploaded all the figure files in the illustration section, please upload a recent passport style photo (front face shot) of the author to whom correspondence will be addressed. Mark filenames with the name of the person. In the main manuscript, after you have listed all the figure legends, include a segment titled "About the Authors," In this section (not to exceed 200 words), say a few words about the current position of each author. Emphasize on the first and last author.
Author Disclosure and Ghostwriting Statement
Immediately following the Acknowledgments and Funding Sources section, include a section entitled Author Disclosure and Ghostwriting. This text must be part of your actual manuscript file. In this portion of the manuscript, authors must disclose commercial associations that might create a conflict of interest in connection with submitted manuscripts and must give credit to any ghostwriters involved in the writing of the manuscript. This statement should include appropriate information for EACH author, thereby representing that competing financial interests of all authors have been appropriately disclosed according to the policy of the Journal. It is important that all conflicts of interest, whether they are actual or potential, be disclosed. This information will not influence the editorial decision. Please see the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals at www.icmje.org/index.html#conflicts for further guidance. If there is nothing to disclose, the authors must state "No competing financial interests exist. The content of this article was expressly written by the author(s) listed. No ghostwriters were used to write this article."
It is mandatory that all articles using microarray data analysis comply with the Minimum Information About Microarray Experiments (MIAME) standard (www.mged.org).
In accordance with the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), authors should obtain approval for new human and mouse gene symbols. Additional information on gene nomenclature guidelines is available from the HGNC (www.genenames.org.)
The Journal endorses the principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki and insists that all investigations involving humans be conducted in conformity with these principles. All animal experimentation reported must be conducted in conformity with internationally accepted principles. In describing surgical procedures, the type and dosage of the anesthetic agent should be specified. Curarizing agents are not anesthetics; if these were used, evidence must be provided that anesthesia of suitable grade and duration was employed. All articles involving the use of human fetuses, fetal tissue, embryos, and embryonic cells must adhere to the US Public Law 103–41, effective December 13, 2001. Editors are expected to reject articles in which evidence of the adherence to these principles is not apparent. They reserve the right to judge the appropriateness of the use of animals and humans in experiments. The Editors-in-Chief will adjudicate differences of opinion employing principles consistent with the content posted at: http://ethics.od.nih.gov/
Include in the manuscript a list of new or special abbreviations used in the article, with the spelled-out form of the definition. Internationally accepted biochemical abbreviations such as ADP, NADH, and pi do not need to be defined; other frequently used abbreviations need only to be defined at first mention. For commonly accepted abbreviations, word usage, symbols, etc., authors are referred to Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (6th ed., 1994). Chemical and biochemical terms and abbreviations should be in accordance with the recommendations of the IUPAC system. IUB Combined Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature. Isotope specification should conform to the IUPAC system.
Authors should follow Webster's Third New International Dictionary for spelling and compounding.
Journal policy is against inclusion of implicit or explicit promises that future work will be published.
Horizontal and vertical lines should not be used in the background of any line or bar graph. It is critically important that dead space within illustration be kept to a minimum. Single column wide illustrations should not exceed 7.5 cm in width. Use font size that is not too small and clearly legible. For illustrations that must be unavoidably wider, the maximum limit is 15 cm for width. All parts (A, B, C...) of any illustration should be arranged on one page. Figure number or author name should not be printed on the face of the illustration. After you upload the illustration file, Manuscript Central will provide you with a slot to paste the figure number as well as figure legend. Figure legend should also be a part of the main body of the text.
The use of Tables is discouraged. When unavoidable, type each table single-spaced with a brief title on a separate page. The title should be brief and informative. All explanatory matter, including explanation of abbreviations, should be in footnotes, not in the title. Horizontal and vertical lines should be omitted. Use Arabic numerals to number tables. Do not repeat information that is given in the text, and do not make a table for data that can be given in the text in one or two sentences. Table footnotes should be listed in order of their appearance and identified by consecutive superior lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.).

Submit high-quality digital copies using the Advances in Wound Care Manuscript Central Online submission system. If hardcopies are required for production, authors of accepted manuscripts will be notified by the production office. Figure legends should describe experimental conditions and all abbreviations used. Electrocardiograms, kymograms, and oscillograms should be prepared so that the cross- hatched background is eliminated. To avoid problems in processing, use non-photo, blue-ruled instead of black-ruled, recording paper for the originals.
Manuscripts accepted with color figures may be published in color with a subsidy from the authors. There are two options for color publication: print + online or online only. There is no fee to publish greyscale figures in both components. Please contact email@example.com for pricing options.
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of citations. References must be limited to directly pertinent published works or articles that have been accepted for publication. An abstract properly identified (Abstract) may be cited only when it is the sole source. Submitted articles can be cited in the text as "unpublished observations" but should not be included in the reference list (see below for further description). Works that have been accepted for publication in a journal should be included in the references list, indicating the journal in which it is to be published followed by "(in press)". If you are using a referencing managing software you may use the style for Journal of Women's Health. All references must be cited in the text using a superscript Arabic number. Arrange the reference list in numeric order as cited in the text. Note that for numbering purposes, references cited within a table or figure legend should be treated as if the citation occurred at the location where the table or figure is mentioned in the text. When there are more than six authors, list the first three followed by "et al." Abbreviate journal names according to Medline. References should be presented in the following style: Journal articles: 1. Moldovan L, Irani K, Moldovan NI, Finkel T, Goldschmidt-Clermont PJ.

References to government technical documents should be included only when the corresponding author ensures their availability. For style of citation of these documents, congress proceedings, etc., consult recent issues of the Journal. Citations such as "unpublished observations" or "personal communication" should not be included in the reference list but may be added in the text in parentheses or as a footnote. When data from an unpublished source are given, supply the researcher's name and institution, and the year in which the research was conducted. It is assumed that in "personal communications," the author has secured the written permission of the person cited.
The corresponding authors must accept full responsibility to return corrected galley proof within 48 hours of receipt. Only corrections directly related to errors in typesetting will be allowed. Other changes will have to be approved by the Editor and are subject to being charged. If the corresponding author does not respond within 48 hours of receipt of the galley proof, the manuscript may be dropped from publication schedule or published as is at the discretion of the publisher. If the corresponding author expects to be out of office during the time the galley proof is expected, the publisher should be provided with an alternate contact.
The author must obtain permission whenever it is required in conjunction with the reproduction of material such as figures and tables from copyrighted material. Written permission must be obtained from the publisher of the journal or book concerned. The publication from which the figure or table is taken must be listed in the reference list. A footnote to a reprinted table or to the legend of a reprinted figure should read, "Reprinted by permission from Jones et al.," and list the appropriate reference. All permissions listings must be shown in the manuscript—they cannot be entered on proofs. Any fees or charges that are levied by other Publishers or copyright holders are the sole responsibility of the submitting authors(s)
Reprints may be ordered by following the special instructions that will accompany page proofs, and should be ordered at the time the corresponding author returns the corrected page proofs to the Publisher. Reprints ordered after the compendium is printed will be charged at a substantially higher rate.

Millennium development goals: how are we doing?
At a global summit held in the year 2000, world leaders committed themselves to strive for the attainment by 2015 of a set of 8 far-reaching developmental mileposts known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Unlike previous global agreements (for example, the Alma Ata 'Health for All by the Year 2000' declaration), the MDGs were specifically tied to numerical benchmarks consisting of 21 quantifiable targets measured on the basis of 60 indicators. Goals 4 - 6 specifically target health issues, respectively to reduce child mortality, improve maternal health, and combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. However, the rest of the goals (eradicate poverty and hunger; achieve universal primary education; promote gender equality; ensure environmental sustainability) are also inextricably tied to improved health outcomes.
The MDGs are the most broadly supported, comprehensive and specific development goals the world has ever agreed upon and, according to the UN Development Programme, great progress has already been made globally at the midpoint in the MDG timeline, although sub-Saharan Africa lags far behind other world regions. With the possible exception of South Africa and Zambia, most of the sub-Saharan countries are not on track to make the MDG deadlines, even though the goals remain achievable within these nations' means and circumstances.
South Africa has, by all accounts, made impressive progress in respect of some MDGs. Since 1994, extreme poverty (subsistence on less than $2 a day) has been halved, largely through exponential growth in cash transfers in the form of social assistance grants and in the number of beneficiaries. It must be said, however, that such handouts cannot be the ideal response to poverty. Ultimately, increased social upliftment including greater employment opportunities and more equitable wealth distribution remains the only durable solution. Government has greatly expanded access to all sorts of services since 2000. According to the 2009 General Household Survey, 83% of South Africans had electricity connection (with wide provincial and urban/rural disparities). The number of households with access to safe water exceeds 80%.
Since 1994, South Africa has seen massive shifts of resources to the education sector, making education the single largest budget item, itself among the highest allocations in the world as a proportion of the GDP. Remarkably in the context of the developing world, girls outnumber boys in secondary education, and already by 2001 the female-to-male ratio in higher education had risen to 115:100 (although this ratio drops off significantly at master's and doctoral levels). Former RDP minister Jay Naidoo says 'We've made tremendous progress in access to education but most of our schools in rural areas are dysfunctional ... It's not about access, it's about the quality of education.'1
A crisis of professionalism and stewardship
South Africa has not done nearly as well in respect of MDGs for health. In some ways, the country has taken two steps back. According to UNICEF,2 South Africa is one of only 12 countries in which child mortality rates have actually increased - from 56 in 1990 to 67 in 2008, with 27% of those who survive suffering from stunting. By some reports, the maternal mortality ratio stands at an astounding 400 per 100 000 live births (compared with, say, 210 for Ghana, 160 for Brazil).
Over 90% of birthing women in South Africa are attended by a health professional, so why are so many mothers dying in childbirth? The single most important factor is people. Money is important; health workers must have the wherewithal to carry out their functions. But ultimately a health system is only as good as those who serve in it. Health workers need to be dedicated, caring and respectful of the sanctity of life, and good outcomes depend on the heart of the provider being in the right place, as was amply demonstrated in the performance of the often impoverished mission hospitals of yore. In the past two decades we have seen a deepening erosion of the sense of call and duty of care among the health professionals in the public health system. As became painfully obvious during the recent public service workers strike, the attitudinal distinction between those who produce goods and services and those who care for people in distress has become regrettably blurred.
South Africa has a relatively strong national policy on safe motherhood, and excellent curricula for training health care providers. The problem lies in failure of stewardship - the failure of government to hold to account those who provide essential services and to ensure that health, education and other systems are managed so as to deliver quality services with quantifiable quality assurance indicators.
Until the government gets its management act together, and the health professionals return to the Hippocratic dictum primum non nocere - first do no harm, we are not going to see a turnaround in the MDGs for health any time soon.

The Time-Traveling Super Jews come from a far future timeline where racism is still rampant. Their ultimate goal is to conquer all of the major forces in this time in the hopes of returning to a future without prejudice.
Notable Figures
- The Super Jews leader is Eric Horowitz, an engineer who has constantly taunted about his religion. He was the one that developed the Super Jew's time machine and convinced an army to follow him into the past.
- Eric's right hand man is Timothy Goldberg, a cunning officer and skilled strategist. Timothy makes the plans and Eric executes them.
- But when Eric and Timothy are busy, Kate Stein takes over as infantry commander and resident Bad-Ass. Armed with an OTC, she is nearly unstoppable in melee combat.
The Super Jews use a variety of weapons but focus mainly on lasers. They use a select few solid shot weapons such as railguns and autocannons but make good use of missiles. They are currently experimenting with concentrated energy weapons.
Recently, the Super Jews developed a capitol ship, Ha'Abir, an Ultra-Heavy Attach Cruiser. The Shapiro is also the first Super Jew military vehicle with shield technology.

Monday 03 August 2020
On 28 February 2013, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published for public comment an Exposure Draft of proposed amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Corresponding requirements are proposed to be included in the forthcoming hedge accounting chapter in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
The objective of the proposed amendments is to introduce a narrow scope exception to the requirement for the discontinuation of hedge accounting in IAS 39. Specifically, they propose an exception when a derivative that has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated from one counterparty to a central counterparty (CCP), as a consequence of new laws or regulations if specific conditions are met (in this context, novation of the derivative contract is the substitution of the original counterparty to the contract for a new counterparty, being a CCP).
The IASB considered the fact that the legislative changes that would require such novation of derivatives would be widespread across jurisdictions. These legislative changes were prompted by a G20 commitment to improve transparency and regulatory oversight of over-the-counter derivatives in an internationally consistent and non-discriminatory way.
The IASB is aware that these new laws or regulations could come into effect in some jurisdictions very soon. Consequently the IASB has published this Exposure Draft with a short (30-day) comment period.
The draft review commenting period closed on 2 April 2013.

Divining Truth, Straight Talk From Source (the story)
This book is a written narrative of some of the questions people have asked me over the years. In answering the questions, I opened my heart and mind to the responses from Cosmic Consciousness within which we dwell. I am pleased and delighted to have Birgitt Williams write the book's foreword.
You will want to continue the Storytime portion of this book by reading the first sequel, Designing Truth, The Audacity of Intention.
If you choose to read this book, set aside the limiting beliefs to which you are presently attached, giving yourself the opportunity to view life anew within the aspect of I AM. You will experience an invitation to know yourself as union. In the words of this book's speaker, "Come, witness yourself as I AM within ME."
"Before there was time, before there was space, I AM. Some call ME God; some Source; some All That Is and many, many other names in an attempt to name ME. From within ME emanates an attribute I AM calling Creator giving that aspect a label you can use to help you understand how you exist within all dimensions through an emanation of ME.
"Imagine ME consciously existing as light for the purposes of presenting a picture to the mind. If I am going to weave a yarn for you, I need threads with which to weave, so let MY first thread be light without purpose or goal. Let's give this light a name – let's call it love – not human love with all of its conditions and expectations – but limitless love, absolute love without judgment or form held within ME as the most perfect manifestation of all of that I AM. The extension of this love is what I AM calling Creator.
"The light, Love as Creator is aware, consciously aware of Itself and Its existence within infinity without beginning. It is aware, only that. Love is aware. In a timeless moment, Love begins to express in form. It sends out rays of love-filled light, emanations of ME. This light contains everything that Love is and as it is extending into space, it is creating as it spreads, ever unfolding into the infinite space with each emanation. The waves of light are endless and are composed of all that Love is as I AM.
"You are made of Love and light. Everything that you feel is part of that Love within ME. It is up to you how you are going to express yourself in each moment of passing time as it records your thoughts, words and actions in created space. Only you know what feels so enrapturing, so enthralling you do not ever want to leave; want to continue experiencing this union with Love in its fullest, infinite, complete form. Only you can create the weaving of the threads for yourself because you are that Love in form. When you accept you are the endless love that you call by any other name, God, Source, Allah, or I AM, then you will realize you do not live in past or future. All streaming emanations of you within Creator within ME are present in this moment everywhere, infinitely."

Froome's Tour repeat attempt over early after crashes
ARENBERG, France — An injured wrist was just too much for Tour de France champion Chris Froome, in one of the most memorable and crash-marred stages in recent race history.
The Kenyan-born Briton ended his repeat bid Wednesday, dropping out of cycling's big event and dropping a bombshell on his competitors after crashing twice in a rain-, mud-, sweat- and blood-soaked fifth stage for the pack through nerve-wracking cobblestones along France's border with Belgium.
The 29-year-old Team Sky leader, already nursing pain in his left wrist a day earlier, first scuffed up his right hip — tearing his uniform — then scraped his face. Both falls happened even before he got to the start of 8 miles over joint-jangling cobblestones.
He was the best-known of several big-name riders who crashed Wednesday. They found out months ago, when the course was announced, what they would face on the roads from Ypres, Belgium, to Arenberg Porte du Hainaut.
What they couldn't foresee was the rain, which slickened roads and unsettled many rider's nerves — and psychology was crucial to surviving the stage.
Before the stage, Froome had said that the biggest concern about the cobblestones was not riding over them, but the nervousness of the peloton as riders jockey to get up front, which is considered the safest place to be.
Froome didn't speak to reporters after his second spill on the day at around the halfway mark. Wincing and limping, he shook his head at a Team Sky staffer, walked over to a team car, and climbed in. The team said later that he was already on his way home.
On Twitter, he wrote that he was "devastated" to withdraw: "Injured wrist and tough conditions made controlling my bike near to impossible." Froome wished luck to new Sky leader Richie Porte of Australia and his other teammates for the rest of the race.
Sensing the danger from the rain, race organizers scrapped two of the nine scheduled cobblestone patches, and reduced the stage by 2 miles. But that still wasn't enough to stop many riders from tumbling.
The last time a defending champion abandoned the Tour was five-time winner Bernard Hinault of France in 1980, according to French cycling statistics provider Velobs.com.
The withdrawal of the pre-race favorite left the Tour wide open with 16 stages still left.
Overall leader Vincenzo Nibali of Italy was one of several high-profile riders who crashed, recovered and excelled on the 95-mile route. The Italian finished third and extended his lead. He and second-place Jakob Fuglsang of Denmark were 19 seconds behind stage winner Lars Boom of the Netherlands.
"This is a special, special day for me," Boom said. "I was really looking forward to the cobblestones."

President Obama's reelection campaign brought 40 engineers into their ranks to build the technology needed to get the president reelected.
The Obama campaign's technologists were tense and tired. It was game day and everything was going wrong.
Josh Thayer, the lead engineer of Narwhal, had just been informed that they'd lost another one of the services powering their software. That was bad: Narwhal was the code name for the data platform that underpinned the campaign and let it track voters and volunteers. If it broke, so would everything else.
They were talking with people at Amazon Web Services, but all they knew was that they had packet loss. Earlier that day, they lost their databases, their East Coast servers, and their memcache clusters. Thayer was ready to kill Nick Hatch, a DevOps engineer who was the official bearer of bad news. Another of their vendors, StallionDB, was fixing databases, but needed to rebuild the replicas. It was going to take time, Hatch said. They didn't have time.
They'd been working 14-hour days, six or seven days a week, trying to reelect the president, and now everything had been broken at just the wrong time. It was like someone had written a Murphy's Law algorithm and deployed it at scale.

Exploring the History of Dutch Immigrants in Jersey City
The Jersey City Free Public Library was awarded a grant by the New Jersey State Library to contribute materials relating to the history of Dutch immigrants in what is now Jersey City and throughout the state. The period of Dutch rule over "New Netherlands" only lasted until 1664 when the English occupation began. After a brief return of control to the Dutch in 1673 the English regained power in 1674 and retained it until the American Revolution. The farming communities in present day Hudson County remained much the same until well into the 19th century, when Jersey City began to grow as an industrial center. This collection documents that period; we link to some highlights below. For the complete collection and more powerful searching options, we invite you to visit the New Jersey Digital Highway.
The New Jersey Digital Highway (NJDH) is a new way to explore our state's history and culture. NJDH is a collaboration of the state's libraries, museums, archives and historical societies to provide a "one stop shop" for New Jersey's cultural treasures-photographs, books, documents, three-dimensional objects, video and audio.
Highlights from the Collection:
Postcards of Historic Sites
Deeds, 1688 – 1832
Records of Slavery
Wills and Estate Documents
The Dutch Reformed Church in New Jersey
Dutch Recipes
More about the collection:
The collection scanned for the original project includes over 3,700 pages of books and pamphlets, 22 photos, 4 maps, and 40 document and manuscript items ranging from 1 to nearly 300 pages. More items will be added over time. All of the items in the documents category are over 140 years old, relatively fragile, and are sometimes difficult to read, but all are intact without missing any substantial amounts of text.
The books and pamphlets include genealogical records, general histories, and items relating to the Dutch Reformed Church, now known as the Reformed Church in America. The genealogical items include specific Dutch family genealogies, as well as listings of birth, marriage and death records from the colonial era. The church records document the growth of the Reformed Church and its role in the Dutch communities and the growth of Hudson County and the state of New Jersey, particularly the Bergen Reformed Church, which was established in 1660 and is the oldest continuing congregation in the state.
Many of the images date from the 1910 celebration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the Village of Bergen, including postcards depicting colonial locations and photos of a series of historical tableaux depicting Dutch colonial life presented by the children of PS 11. There are also photos of Dutch descendants in Jersey City, and historic Dutch houses. The maps include three of property held by Van Vorst family members in 1873, as well as a 1727 map of what is now Hudson County.
Finally, and most interesting and unique, are several dozen original documents ranging from 1688 to 1860. These handwritten papers include wills, deeds, bonds, and other legal documents, plus sermons and church records, all pertaining to Dutch residents of what is now Jersey City, the earliest written in Dutch. There are also two volumes of the handwritten minutes of the First Reformed Church of Jersey City, from 1835 to 1856.

Supersize your style this Fall with a cape worthy of a style superhero. Deliciously dramatic, the cape delivers an exaggerated silhouette to play with - and keeps you warm all the while. Do as Sofia Coppola does and have some fun with the dramatic cape with an equally exaggerated silhouette. We love how she pairs her voluminous cape with something super skinny on the bottom, juxtaposing an elegant "uptown" cape with a "downtown" pair of leggings. Here's how to get the look:
1. Start with a tailored white button down shirt and a pair of skinny black leggings or trouser pants. Bonus points for picking a pair that hits just above the ankle.
2. Layer on your voluminous cape, creating a gorgeous big-over-small silhouette.
3. Finish off the look with a structured bag and a pair of ballet flats, which pair perfectly with the cropped pants.
