Small Devices For Small Patients
CLEVELAND, Ohio (Ivanhoe Newswire) - A warning for expectant mothers: one in every 100 newborns has a heart problem. Until now, these babies were treated with the same devices used in adults.
Little Vivian Andorf had her first heart surgery when she was just two hours old.
"She's missing one chamber of her heart… Veins going from her lungs to her heart they are progressively narrow," Margaret Andorf, Vivian's Mom, told Ivanhoe.
So far, Vivian's had seven surgeries and six cauterizations.
"I've seen the caths and they're just these big long tubes and you just can't imagine how they get in," Andorf said.
"Most of the equipment that we use was designed and developed and produced for adults," Doctor Alex Golden, MD, Pediatric Cardiologist at Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital, told Ivanhoe.
Imagine a wire the size of the cord on your headphones, snaking through a tiny baby. Using adult-sized catheters, doctors can damage access vessels in the groin and cause a blockage. Doctor Alex Golden is the first Pediatric Cardiologist in the US to use a new approved cath for kids.
"Having a cath that is 20 percent smaller than the smallest one we were using previously, I think, that's a great benefit," Doctor Golden explained.
"It feels like we have so much hope," Andorf said. Hope that a newborn given just a five percent chance of survival will beat the odds.
Vivian has one more surgery planned for this year. The new catheter is the first in the US to be approved specifically for children.
BACKGROUND: Heart problems that occur in infants are typically the result of a congenital heart defect that causes defective heart growth at some point during fetal development. In the United States, more than 35,000 infants are born with some kind of congenital heart defect. These defects start to develop sometime between the sixth and twelfth weeks of development which is when the heart is formed. The most common heart problems seen in infants are septal defects, which are holes in the heart. Infants can also be born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome where heart structures are not fully developed on the left side. Infants with these heart problems often have too much blood in the lungs and not enough blood in the body, leading to fatigue, poor nutrition and development, and breathing difficulties. If the heart problem is severe, it can cause permanent lung and organ damage and be life-threatening for the infant. (Source:http://www.livestrong.com/article/217350-infant-heart-problems/)
CAUSES: The cause of congenital heart defects is not always known, but certain factors can raise an infant's risk of heart problems. Since the heart forms within the first three months of fetal development, women may not realize they are pregnant and unknowingly expose the developing fetus to bacteria or viruses that can cause the heart to grow abnormally. In particular chickenpox, group B strep, listeria, toxoplasmosis, and certain vaccinations have been associated with congenital heart defects. Women with diabetes are also more likely to have an infant with heart abnormalities if they do not effectively monitor and control their disease. (Source: http://www.livestrong.com/article/217350-infant-heart-problems/)
MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH: Cardiac catheterization of infants and children is a highly specialized procedure, which is performed in selected circumstances for additional diagnostic information. In addition, an increasing number of cardiac catheterization procedures are therapeutic and permanently correct or improve the underlying congenital heart condition, avoiding the need for open-chest surgery. Electrophysiologic catheterization procedures allow detailed investigation of heart rhythm abnormalities, and ablation procedures cure certain abnormal heart rhythms.

Alex Golden, MD, Pediatric Cardiologist and staff physician at the Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital, talks about a new technique that is helping to shrink tumors.
We are talking about tumors that appear in infants, right?
Dr. Golden: Yes, these are benign tumors. They are not malignant. It is not cancer, but they are growths that start out either very tiny or not present at all when the child is born, then they grow to be variable in size, but can be quite large or damaging depending on the location.
What is the proper name of them?
Dr. Golden: Infantile hemangioma.
What causes it?
Dr. Golden: We still do not know exactly what causes the infantile hemangiomas. There are multiple theories, but none of them has emerged as the correct answer.
Now what happens if it goes untreated?
Dr. Golden: Some of them stop growing on their own fairly early, but the ones that get larger or in very difficult places or dangerous places particularly on the face or other areas can cause quite a bit of destruction in the meantime. So, they will grow for a period of time usually somewhere before the first birthday at which point they stop and then they can start to slowly go away, but there is a pretty significant subset of them that do not go away completely and that is really where the propranolol treatment comes in.
And you said it causes damage?
Dr. Golden: It can, so for instance a hemangioma on the nose can destroy the nasal tissues and cause deformation of those that could be permanent. There are infantile hemangiomas that occur near the eyes and it can affect vision. If it is near the airway, it can affect breathing and obviously as in many cases that we have seen it can be cosmetically very important problem for kids too.
Can babies be born with lesions too?
Dr. Golden: Sometimes, there is some evidence when the baby is born. Usually it is tiny or almost nothing there at birth and then really starts to take off within the first month or two of life; some of them can grow extremely rapidly.
Is there a reason why they grow so much more after birth, like is it oxygen?
Dr. Golden: I do not know the answer to that. When the current treatment for this propranolol was discovered, it was really by accident. Some doctors in Bordeaux, France who serendipitously found out that it worked on hemangiomas. They were using it to treat one child with heart disease who happened to have a hemangioma as well and found that the hemangioma went away and they tried it again, and pretty soon they had done a series of this and published it and the rest of the world found out about it in just 2009.
I think it is kind of scary that traditionally you would normally treat this with radiation and steroids?
Dr. Golden: Steroids is the mainstay treatment. So in the past there have been chemotherapy agents that have been used sometimes, but up until this time, the mainstay treatment has really been high dose of oral steroid therapy which has many risks.
What could be the risks for that?
Dr. Golden: There are all sorts of dysregulation of endocrine systems and hormone production. There are weight changes and weight to fat distribution changes, high blood pressure and heart disease as a result of the high blood pressure among other problems.
So by treating this traditionally, you could be affecting your child's life forever?
Dr. Golden: Absolutely, and we find it is not as effective as the beta blockade; that is the propranolol treatment that we are using now.
So the beta blockade, explain that. Tell me what the name is.
Dr. Golden: The name of the medication that we use for these children is propranolol; it is in the beta blocker class of medications. It is what is called a nonselective beta blocker and it affects these infantile hemangiomas by killing the hemangioma cells and also by cinching down and constricting the blood vessels that feed them. By those two properties, we do not know all of the answers about how the medication accomplishes that, but we certainly observe that in basically 100 percent of these infantile hemangiomas that the day that we start the medication the hemangioma stops growing and begins to shrink quite rapidly.
Explain so everybody understands what a beta blocker is.
Dr. Golden: This is a medication that has been used for decades mostly in adults, but in many children as well and it has many properties. It blocks beta receptors in the body and by doing that it can lower blood pressure, lower heart rate, help with cardiac arrhythmias as well; so most of the patients in the world who receive propranolol get it for those indications. In children, we use it a fair amount for rhythm problems, for electrical abnormalities; and heart short circuit type rhythm problems in the heart, but now this new indication for propranolol has emerged which has really been amazing.
By giving a child this, does it affect their heart?
Dr. Golden: We sometimes see a little bit of lowering of the heart rate and a little bit of lowering of the maximum blood pressure that a child will achieve or maximum heart rate as well. However, essentially we have seen in our, about 75 patients that we have treated, here at the Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital, see no important side effects that have caused us to need to stop the medication or anything else. The medication can also lower the blood sugar a little bit; so we make sure we teach families to give feedings around the same time as the medication to keep the blood sugar up.
Are there any other risks?
Dr. Golden: We do not think there are any long term risks of the medication. We have been using it in children for multiple decades already and we know it to be a very safe drug and now we find that it is really amazingly effective, much more effective than the steroids that we had been using previously to treat infantile hemangiomas.
So of the 75 kids that you treated, 100% have gone away?
Dr. Golden: One hundred percent have stopped growing and 100% have improved with treatment, but there is some variability. Some children are much more responsive. There have been patients when we treat them, they came back in a few weeks and I am really blown away by the shrinkage of the hemangioma. And there are others that take more time, but we generally will treat for several months at least and usually past the first birthday and then by that point, compared to when we initiate treatment, we have seen very significant shrinkage in basically 100 percent of our patients.
Is Myla rare? Is it rare to have that great of a result?
Dr. Golden: Oh, not rare, no. I mean I definitely would put her in a category of excellent responders, but maybe 25 percent or so of our patients have been sort of along her lines.
Now for Myla, I think she was on the medicine, I mean, it was just an oral medicine; twice a day, I think?
Dr. Golden: Yeah. We started out at three times a day and depending on the age of the patient. We like to meet kids when they are young and small; when the hemangioma has not had a lot of time to proliferate and multiple and grow very significantly; we think we get a better result if we start early. If I meet them when they are fairly young, we will start them at three times a day dosing. Once they pass the six month mark and have a little more meat on their bones, then we will change it to twice a day dosing; that helps a lot with convenience for the family as well.
She was on it for a year, is that normal?
Dr. Golden: Well basically it depends on how early we meet them, but we will treat from the time that we meet the children and will treat past the first birthday generally; usually to about the 14 month of age point.
Would this treatment work on adults?
Dr. Golden: No this treatment is for infantile hemangiomas only at this point and I think we may find in time that research will show that there are other patient populations that the medication is effective for. There are other subtypes of hemangiomas; not infantile hemangiomas that some people have tried using it, but we do not have enough information yet to know if it will be effective for those other patients. This is a particular treatment for a particular group of patients who come as babies and who have these rapidly growing hemangiomas that we really want to stop in their tracks and prevent damage that we know can occur when they grow quickly.
Will Myla's grow back? Is there a risk?
Dr. Golden: No, no. That would be extremely unusual for it to grow back and basically, the life history of these infantile hemangiomas is that it will be not present basically at birth, will crop up at some point, usually in the first couple of months, and grow very rapidly. It will stop growing at about somewhere between 6 and 12 months of age; it is kind of variable and then will then begin to go away, but we know that there is a large fraction of these patients where the hemangioma will not go away completely on its own and even when they do, it takes actually many years for the infantile hemangioma to recede on its own, so the propranolol really accelerates that process and most importantly, stops the growth during the growth phase to prevent further damage.

I have written a draft op-ed analyzing Jack and Jeanne Block's study of the correlation between the political orientation of young adults and evaluations of them made by their nursery school teachers about 20 years earlier. I have two copies of the study itself, one downloaded from the journal's website and an earlier draft kindly sent me by Jack Block. But I didn't ask Block's permission to put up a copy here, so if you want a copy, you may get one from Michelle Malkin's website. Until I figure out where to place my op-ed (or whether I even have the time to do more than a cursory job of shopping it around), I will post here only some of my observations.
Do whiny, deviant, insecure nursery school kids grow up to be conservatives? And do fluent, resourceful, self-reliant pre-schoolers grow up to be liberals? The answer to both questions would appear to be "Yes" according to a new study to appear in the Journal of Research in Personality. Its authors are the eminent psychologist Jack Block, an emeritus professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and his deceased wife and colleague, Jeanne Block.
The study claims that those who were relatively conservative at age 23 were originally evaluated by their nursery school teachers as uncertain, guilty, and rigid. The supposedly conservative boys "were especially viewed as deviant from their peers and sensitive to being different." As youngsters, the conservative girls "tended toward indecisiveness, were easy butts of peers, and were quiet, neat, compliant, fearful and tearful." On the other hand, the kids who later became relatively liberal were viewed by their teachers mostly in positive terms, such as "resourceful, autonomous, expressive, and self-reliant."
So far, public responses to the Block study have been mixed.
The Toronto Star, which broke the story in the press, gave the study respectful coverage, but also included the derogative comments of Arizona State psychologist Jeff Greenberg: "I found it to be biased, shoddy work, poor science at best." But the only criticism attributed to Greenberg and mentioned in the story is less than compelling: "He thinks insecure, defensive, rigid people can as easily gravitate to left-wing ideologies as right-wing ones. He suspects that in Communist China, those kinds of people would likely become fervid party members."
Yet assessing conservatism and liberalism in Communist countries is not terribly meaningful because Communist dictatorships are usually considered left-wing by those on the right, and right-wing by those on the left. Even if the Blocks' results were not generalizable to countries like China, that would mostly affect the domain over which their results would apply, not their validity in the United States. So Greenberg's criticism does not go to the heart of the Blocks' thesis.
Responses from bloggers to the Block study have ranged from generally accepting on liberal sites to skeptical or dismissive on most libertarian or conservative sites. Some insightfully mentioned that the new Block nursery school study reminded them of the May, 2003 article in the Psychological Bulletin by a group headed by Professor John T. Jost that reviewed and analyzed data on conservatism. The Jost study also found conservatives to be rigid, fearful, and lacking in intellectual complexity.
Just from what is in the Blocks' article, there is scant reason to think that those whom Block calls "conservatives" are really conservatives, rather than Democrats or political moderates. Those whom the Blocks think of as relatively "conservative" on many of their measures of conservatism are expressing views that would mark them as Democrats or political moderates (not conservatives) in the general public. The study itself acknowledges that the most conservative third or half of their 95 subjects from Berkeley and Oakland were not really conservatives, admitting that there were "relatively few participants tilting toward conservatism."
That the new Berkeley study has severely mismeasured conservatives and liberals is shown by several odd findings, including the strong relationship they claim between their liberal-conservative scale and their subjects' IQs. The Blocks report a correlation between IQ and their conservatism-liberalism scores of .36 for males and .24 for girls. Just for comparison, in the 1996-2004 General Social Surveys the correlation between political party identification (as a Republican, Independent, or Democrat on a 7-point scale) and political orientation (as a conservative, moderate, or liberal on a 7- point scale) is only about .30. And the correlation between a man or woman being a conservative and opposing abortion is only about .17-.25. So if the Blocks' measure of conservatism were to be generalizable to the general public, then a low IQ would have to be a generally better predictor of whether a man is a conservative than whether he was a Republican or whether he opposes abortion—which is highly implausible.
What the Block study really shows is that kids who grow up to have low IQs struggled even in nursery school, while kids who grow up to have high IQs did well even as youngsters. Since in the general public (as shown by General Social Surveys and American National Election Studies), adult conservatives are consistently better educated than the average citizen and (as shown in the GSS) do better on IQ-style vocabulary and reasoning tests, the results of the Block study are generally inapplicable to typical political conservatives, liberals, and moderates in the United States.
With the thousands of studies that have been done on conservatives using representative samples of the general public over the last five decades, we actually know quite a bit about them. It is time for researchers and the editors of scholarly journals to use a little common sense and ordinary skepticism when looking at statistical relationships that are so farfetched that they are almost certainly wrong. And when they encounter such a relationship, they should take the next step and try to determine where the study went awry.
Sadly, of course, many of the questions that the Blocks used to mismeasure political orientation have been widely used by other researchers in social and political psychology—despite the tendency of self-identified conservatives in the general public to be more likely than nonconservatives to give supposedly "liberal," tolerant answers to many of these sorts of questions. Researchers often admit that some of the most widely used indices and scales were developed by first writing down sets of (mostly negative) stereotypes of conservatives. The last prominent study of conservatives that had similar measurement problems was a 2003 Psychological Bulletin article by a group of academics led by Professor John T. Jost (now of NYU). Andrea Irvin, a student at Berkeley, offered an amusing, if somewhat unfair assessment of the Jost study: it was "about as scientific as phrenology."

TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Stratasys as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- SSYS's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 0.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 115.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- SSYS has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 2.86, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for STRATASYS LTD is rather high; currently it is at 62.42%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -2.62% is in-line with the industry average.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Computers & Peripherals industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 192.8% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $3.02 million to -$2.80 million.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Computers & Peripherals industry and the overall market, STRATASYS LTD's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

"I want to be able to focus on one thing, and that's being sheriff," Hart said. "I think it'd be difficult to (do both)."
Hart, who has served since the 2006 season, leaves behind a program that went from being in the basement of the Central Coast Section standings, to being consistently one of the best.
"We had the best year in school history," he said. "We were one of the top five teams in California in Division 4."
Hart's Falcon squad saved the best for his last season, as the team put together a 25-6 season, and was undefeated in Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League. The team was the No. 1 seeded team in the CCS playoffs, and knocked off the Archbishop Mitty High School team in the opener of the CCS before being eliminated in the semifinals.
For his efforts, Hart was named Division 4 State Coach of the Year by Cal-Hi Sports, as well as CCS Coach of the Year for all divisions by Prep2Prep.
He said that, while he was saddened to leave the program he'd worked to develop into a winner, he was confident in the team's ability going forward — all but two players will return as seniors next season.
"There's going to be a great group coming back," Hart said.
While there will be a search for a new head coach, Hart heartily endorsed his longtime assistant head coach Rick Silver, and said that he is confident that Silver will be an excellent coach.

Gratuitous Lily Guild
From EastKingdomWiki
Fabulous PRIZES! PRIZES! PRIZES!
The Gratuitous Lily Guild (get it?)
The Gratuitous Lily Guild likes tasty beverages. A lot. We like making tasty beverages, drinking tasty beverages, judging tasty beverages and encouraging others to make tasty beverages. We are pretty much a one note flute regarding tasty beverages.
With merriment and respect for their efforts, we welcome newcomers to the brewing arts as well as seasoned artisans by hosting a brewing contest at the Feast of John Barleycorn. We also hold the occasional Brew Ha Ha (brewing workshop) or demonstrate mead making at public SCA demos.
The Gratuitous Lily Guild's facetious name and device are meant to illustrate the precept that "Who dares to teach should never cease to learn". Our members are few, but we produce quality beverages and don't take ourselves too seriously.
The Guild was originally considered to magically manifest once a year at John Barleycorn, with Aquilina being the only member. Part of the joke was that the Guild would disappear after Barleycorn was over in order to be a fast moving target that was hard to hit. Although Aquilina was also running the brewing contest prior to 2006, that was the first year any reference or heraldry for the Guild appeared.

Getting a plaque in Cooperstown is no easy feat. In 1961, Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's single-season Home Run record by hitting 61 long balls. It was a record that stood until that magical season of '98 when Mark McGwire beat Sammy Sosa to the crown of Home Run King. Maris might not have had a stellar career, but just the impressiveness of that record deserves a place in the Hall of Fame. Acquiring 3,000 hits, hitting 500 homers or winning 300 games seems to be the only way someone can guarantee their spot in Cooperstown nowadays. But now with this White Sox Cooperstown adjustable hat by Nike, you can assure yourself that you'll become a first ballot Hall of Famer for being the greatest Sox fan around. With an embroidered throwback team logo on the contrast bill, this Chicago vintage hat will have you retiring next to the greatest of all-time. Being mentioned with the likes of Luis Aparacio, Nellie Fox and Frank Thomas will certainly make your life long dedication to the South Siders worthwhile.
- 100% Cotton fabric
- Adjustable buckle closure
- Imported
- Officially licensed White Sox hat
- Quality embroidery
- Unstructured fit

Here are some videos from our trip. The first started off with me trying to capture a beautiful wedding reception that was occurring during our lunch - the musicians were playing Bittersweet*Symphony by the Verve, one of my faves. What you'll see next is Ruby *almost* have what became a typical mealtime fit when pasta with sauce is delivered to the table. She is a strictly no-sauce girl. And then there's the end where you can see her sense of humor shine, well you'll just have to watch and see for yourself.
Our girl, dancing to Morcheeba.
And our little daredevil ... what you'll need to listen closely to is that he lost his pants after his flip.
And that about sums up our family vacay. Lots of fun in the sun. Oh how I wish we were back there now!!

LANSING, Mich (WLMI) The Lansing Lugnuts (27-22, 74-44) offense was stifled by three Fort Wayne TinCaps (30-21, 61-60) pitchers in a 9-1 loss on Wednesday night at Cooley Law School Stadium.
TinCaps starter Colin Rea (Win, 5-7) worked five innings, allowed only one run, gave up just five hits, struck out five and walked a pair. The only run the righty allowed came when Rea delivered an errant pick-off attempt to first with runners at the corners in the fifth inning.
Chris Fetter tossed three scoreless innings and Luis De La Cruz worked a scoreless ninth for the TinCaps bullpen.
Aaron Sanchez (Loss, 8-3) started for the Lugnuts in his return from the disabled list. The righty worked three innings, allowed three hits, gave up one run, walked two and struck out a pair.
The Lansing bullpen surrendered eight runs over the final six innings. Blake McFarland gave up four in three innings of work. Aleson Escalante allowed seven hits and four runs in the final three innings.
K.C. Hobson (1-for-4) doubled in the losing effort, his sixth two-bagger in his last five games. Pierre also swatted a double, one of two hits in his three at-bats.
TinCaps catcher Austin Hedges went 4-for-5 with a pair of RBI and a home run. Travis Whitmore drove in three and recorded two hits in five at-bats.
The Lugnuts committed four errors, matching a season high, in losing their fifth straight game at home.
The middle affair of this three-game series is scheduled for Thursday, August 16th at 7:05 p.m., a Labatt Blue Light Thirsty Thursday featuring $2 beer/pop specials and a postgame concert with Starfarm. The Lugnuts tab right-hander Noah Syndergaard (7-4, 2.89) to start against TinCaps right-hander Ruben Mejia (1-6, 4.88).

Do WoW players make bad employees? {WoW}
Dec 16th 2008 8:23PM Yeah too bad at my last job they didn't weed out the guy who played online poker all day and got promoted after he was found out. Or the girl who sat next to me on myspace and IM all day. While at the time I played WoW in my free time and worked hard at my job. Point being, lazy people are lazy, WoW players aren't necessarily lazy at work. In fact I'd suggest the mentality of players who learn game strategies and theorycraft how to best tweak their characters have important analytical skills that go a long way in the workplace. That being said, when I go for my next job I'm not going to talk about my gaming enthusiasm.
Finding your Wrath profession trainers {WoW}
Nov 12th 2008 8:03PM Yah I was going to start my alliance engy guy in Borean before I checked out Wowhead and the early Engy recipes are only available in Howling Fjord.

Nov 12th 2008 3:22PM I was hearing that with tBC no matter the server the "switch" was turned on at 12EST. So assuming you got your hands on WotLK early you can play at 12:00AM EST or 9:00 PM PST. The downside is that people can't buy WotLK until 12:00 AM in their respective time zone. Anyhow I'll be checking this evening as soon as it's 12 EST.

Oct 29th 2008 3:56AM @ Ginka
While my phrasing was decidedly bad, I never said you were a whiner or meant to imply that. I think that people who enjoyed the event versus those who didn't receive their in-game satisfaction in different ways. Some folks appreciate the game as a means of delivering a story and are along for whatever that entails by the tellers of the story (Blizzard). Some are more invested in the economy or leveling goals or gear goals. With a healthy mix of people playing for social aspects, and people playing for an equal mix of all three. A massive, and intentionally interruptive zombie plague doesn't really do anything for folks not invested in the story, and may not even satisfy everyone playing for story. And if you're not willing to roll with it and dick around for a few hours of play time, then so be it.
As of now it's a moot point, and while no event will ever please all of the folks playing, maybe the next one will come closer for those who felt put off by this last one.

In the original version of the fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty was raped.
Much like in many of the earliest version of our beloved children's stories, Sleeping Beauty is actually a shockingly violent narrative.
The first rendering described our noble hero not as having planted a kiss on her, but instead as having ravaged her slumbering body!
Several months passed, and though still fast asleep, Sleeping Beauty gave birth to a pair of twins.
The forest fairies took care of the babies, and one day while nursing, one of the children mistook Sleeping Beauty's thumb for a nipple and sucked out the poison splinter that was causing her drowsiness!
What a pleasant surprise it must have been to find not only that she had been asleep for several months, but that she had been knocked up during that time as well! (Read the whole original story)
The Sleeping Beauty story that we know has been changed many times over the centuries. The basis for most modern variants on the story stem from Charles Perrault's "The Tales of Mother Goose" from 1697.
His story was a cleaned-up version of the original gruesome rape story, "Sole, Luna, e Talia" from Giambattista Basile in 1634.

An agreement has been reached to make the Indianapolis Motor Speedway accessible to people with disabilities.
The U.S. Attorney's office announced a settlement with IMS Thursday.
The agreement set a timeline for bringing the venue into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and includes a list of more than 360 changes that need to be made.
The Speedway will begin providing accessibility in all areas of the grandstands to people in wheelchairs and their companions and will install ramps and elevators to support ease of access and modify concession stands, restrooms and even the viewing areas on the mounds on the inside of the Speedway.
All of this came about from a single complaint lodged by race fan in 1999 when he was denied access to Gasoline Alley because he was in a wheelchair.
The compliance construction will likely cost millions to complete.

David Hawkings, Senior Editor, Roll Call
Congress is on its Independence Day holiday, and yet it still has a lot of work left on the table for when it comes back. David Hawkings, senior editor at Roll Call, writes the Hawkings Here blog. He tells In Depth with Francis Rose why there still hasn't been a lot of movement on appropriations bills.

Asif Khan, Government Accountability Office
The latest check on the Defense Department's push to full audit readiness uncovers a domino effect of problems. The Government Accountability Office says DoD didn't follow a plan to improve how it tracks contract payments. Asif Khan is Director of Financial Management and Assurance Issues at the GAO. Khan told In Depth with Francis Rose that because the Pentagon missed some steps of the plan, it's dealing with even more problems that could keep the agency from meeting an important deadline.

Mike Casey, Chief Learning Officer, GSA
Training your agency's employees by sitting them down in a classroom in front of a teacher giving a lecture won't work for the federal government anymore. Mike Casey is the chief learning officer of the General Services Administration and a guest for the Executive Suite on In Depth with Francis Rose. He's at the forefront of the effort to teach agency managers the difference between training and learning. Casey said knowing the difference could make a big impact on the cost to run your agency.

Belva Martin, Government Accountability Office
A group of foreign nationals working on one of NASA's major projects found a way to choose their own security clearances to gain access to sensitive technologies. The way they did it was pretty simple. NASA just let them do it. Belva Martin is director of Acquisition and Sourcing Management Issues at the Government Accountability Office. In a new GAO report, she looks at NASA's supply chain security. She shared a few ways the agency can tighten up its grip on In Depth with Francis Rose.

With budget deadline still months away, should agencies start prepping for CR?
The Sept. 30 deadline for Congress to deliver a complete fiscal 2015 budget plan is still about four months away. But with a lengthy summer recess spanning nearly the entire month of August, that leaves fewer than 40 working days for the appropriation committees on Capitol Hill to finalize agency spending levels. That has some budget watchers already raising the possibility of a stopgap continuing resolution to fund government operations.

Survey: Feds' satisfaction with TSP grows
Nearly nine out of 10 federal employees are satisfied with the Thrift Savings Plan, according to a new survey published by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, which manages feds' 401(k)-style retirement accounts. Meanwhile, the TSP board is inching forward on a decision on whether to adopt a mutual-fund window.

House bill would let federal law-enforcement officers access retirement funds early
A bipartisan House bill would reform federal tax law so that federal law-enforcement officers and firefighters can access funds from their 401(k)-style Thrift Savings Plans when they're eligible to retire without facing a penalty. Jon Adler, national president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, called the current situation "one of those glaring inequities that needed to be addressed and fixed."

Capcom vs. AIAS, Round TwoLast year, many gamers and industry members were surprised when the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences released its yearly list of gaming award nominations for 2005 and Capcom's highly praised Resident Evil 4 (PS2, GCN) was nowhere to be found. "Thank God for Capcom [not entering]. We're probably going to pick up some awards tonight," joked David Jaffe, designer of SCE Santa Monica's God of War, which indeed went on to win seven awards on twelve nominations. It turned out that Capcom had declined to join the AIAS--and pay its corporate membership dues--and meaning its games were not eligible for the ballot. AIAS voters wrote-in the game in high numbers but Capcom was informed the votes could not be counted without its membership.
Cash-strapped publisher Majesco was unable to join, leaving Double Fine's acclaimed Psychonauts (PS2, Xbox, PC) out of the running. For the larger Capcom, however, it appears to be a matter of principle as much as anything else. This year two well received Capcom games were missing from the 10th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, its own Dead Rising (X360) and Clover Studio's Okami (PS2), the latter in particular a frequent recipient of awards from various publications.
This year, Capcom has posted a frank, full-length reply to the AIAS' methods via its forums, originally sent to GameSpot. Calling the awards "of dubious merit, at best," Capcom asked whether its company, "really [needs] to pay tens of thousands of dollars in order to present awards to our own games?""Again, from the AIAS webpage, their awards are supposedly about 'Recognizing the best games of 2006.' Evidently, they meant, the best games that paid to be recognized. As a company, we find ourselves questioning the value or credibility of awards that seem to honor developers for their creative work, when the truth is that their marketing departments have to pay to obtain consideration," reads the statement, which went on to add that were indeed many "fantastic" nominated games from member companies on the list of nominees.
In closing, the statement reads, "Capcom Entertainment would like to thank the gamers who have made Dead Rising and Okami so successful, the media who were similarly moved by the creativity and innovation found within the games and the teams at Capcom and Clover Studios who poured their outstanding passion, talent and creative energies into both ground-breaking games (coincidently, all things supposedly recognized by the Interactive Achievement Awards)."
In it story on the matter, GameSpot learned from AIAS representatives that in addition to Capcom and Majesco, publishers Eidos and Tecmo are not paying members; no games from the four publishers have been nominated for awards in the past three years. Apparently, the membership requirement is long standing AIAS policy but has only been enforced for the last few award shows. An AIAS representative noted that it contacted Capcom in advance soliciting membership, but the publisher declined.
The 10th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards will be presented on February 8, 2007, during the D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas.

New research underscores a multitude of factors behind a decline in U.S. energy consumption in 2011. Natural gas, wind energy and high-efficiency energy technologies were key contributors to the dip.
Flow charts released by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) this month show that American energy use declined in the transportation, commercial and residential sectors, while industrial energy consumption increased slightly. The LLNL, in Livermore, Calif., is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. Overall, American energy use fell in 2011, from 98 quads in 2010 to 97.3 quads.
With a surge of new wind farms, wind energy consumption jumped most significantly last year, to 1.17 quads compared with 0.92 quads in 2010. The increase reflects sustained investments in wind power, according to A.J. Simon, an LLNL analyst, who used data from the DOE's Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Earlier this month, Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) issued a promising report for wind farm investments, revealing that wind farm operating costs fell 38 percent in the last four years.
"Wind power has done much to improve its competitiveness against gas-fired and coal-fired generation in recent years via lower-cost, more technically advanced turbines and more sophisticated siting and management," said Michael Liebreich, CEO of London-based BNEF, in a statement of the findings.
Hydroelectricity use spiked in 2011, to 3.17 quads from 2.5 quads in the previous year. The LLNL credits this boost to weather; according to its findings, the surge occurred because of heavy precipitation in the western U.S., which powered hydroelectric dams at maximum levels.
Coal use, meanwhile, fell significantly, while oil use declined slightly. Natural gas, the DOE export requests of which have reportedly picked up in recent years, increased from 24.65 quads in 2010 to 24.9 last year. The shift away from coal use is being fueled by both low natural gas prices (due to a boom in shale gas capacity) and high oil prices.
Shifts to alternative energy use are reflected in a drop in carbon dioxide emissions. This summer, the EIA indicated that energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in the country were down by 2.4 percent compared with the previous year. In early 2012, U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions were at their lowest levels since 1992, the EIA found, due to a combination of three factors, including lower gasoline demand and a decline in coal-fired electricity generation, which, in turn, was due to low natural gas costs and a mild winter.

Last night our midwife took a high BP reading (180/114) on my wife, and she spilled protein in her urine. She has some swelling of her hands and feet, but no dizziness or seeing spots like you would expect from that high of a BP. We are 35 weeks along in our first pregnancy and up until now everything was going great. We see the midwife again on Friday (3 days later) to verify the high BP reading, and get some lab tests if it's still high.
We were hoping to have a natural birth at home, but it looks like things have changed. From what I have found on the web it sounds like most doctors would like to induce sooner rather than later.
If the tests on Friday confirm PE, what steps can my wife and I take to reduce the effects, and help her deliver naturally? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Paul Georgy serves as president/CEO of Allendale, Inc., a worldwide agricultural advisory and research firm that provides agricultural commodity price research and risk management alternatives for producers, major food companies, international corporations, foreign governments, and major news vendors.
Good Morning! Paul Georgy with early morning comments for June 7, 2013 at 5:00 am. Grains futures are mixed in a quiet session ahead of economic data release. Planting the balance of the corn and soybean crop will not be ideal. The forecast is for open weather for a few more days before another system moves in to the Midwest. However the wet areas will need more than 2 days to ready fields for planting. Bull spreads are the feature at the CME as the touted Goldman and UBS rolls start today. Tight cash supplies of corn and soybeans should support nearby contracts. If there were any surprises on yesterday's export sales data it came in the new crop corn where only 52 tmt sold last week. Old Crop soymeal sales were at higher end of trade expectations which leads to concerns the USDA is understating soybean crush. Rich Nelson has said "the USDA has to raise their crush number on the balance sheet or we need to close more than 23% of processing plants for the balance of marketing year." Tight old crop supplies of both corn and beans will have an impact on nearby futures as we move into July and August. Traders are now thinking the US may have to import beans to meet balance sheet expectations. CONAB the reporting service for the Brazilian government said on Thursday that Brazil's corn production is 78.5 mmt which 2.5 mmt more than what USDA had in last report. The Mississippi River is expected to re-open to some barge traffic today. Allendale estimates for next Wednesday's Supply and Demand Report is outlined in the chart below.
Check below for the results of yesterday's Planting Intention Question. New highs for the uptrend were reached on Thursday. Those attending the World Pork Expo got an update on the PED progression through the US. While the problem is not getting much worse, it appears we must get used to the idea that this will remain with us for the summer. Pork cutout values were down .28. Cash cattle action was quiet so far this week as the industry waits for the employment numbers. This is especially important in the beef world where consumers have had to re-orient themselves to the idea that higher prices are a "deal". Boxed beef was mixed as choice was down .77 and select was up .28. The feeder index was 133.45 on Thursday.

(a very quick post, because I should be nanowrimo-ing, not much time left)
November has been a very strange month.
For 18 days I was writing feverishly in an attempt to write a novel in 30 days as part of NaNoWriMo - national novel writing month.
Then my parents arrived for 10 days to come and see what Arizona was like.
It's been my Dad's first time in America. Mum has been before, but only for a conference in New Orleans so she hasn't really seen much of the USA either.
It's been really interesting to see what things they've found amazing about America, the things we've become used to - the incredible wideness of the roads; not being able to see the back wall of supermarkets because they're so huge; the fact that we have drive-through fast-food AND banks, pharmacies, even churches.
So anyway, 10 days ago I decided I wouldn't be able to finish Nanowrimo whilst they are here and so I just gave up. It couldn't be done, so I didn't do it.
But the fact that I had already written nearly 30,000 of my 50,000 words kept nagging away at me. I was over half way - I knew that if I hadn't have stopped I could've made it. And this bothered me.
So two nights ago, on yet another of my sleepless nights, I got up and started writing again. I'm not saying that I'm writing anything of quality, and definitely my novel is going in all directions and doesn't have a lot of coherence BUT I wrote nearly 3000 words in 2 hours and I thought to myself - "I might still fail at getting all of this done by midnight on Tuesday 30th November (actually 11.59.59)...and remembering that I have to upload everything I've written - but I would rather fail still trying than fail by sitting looking at a computer and doing absolutely nothing".
So I started writing wherever and whenever I could. On the computer when I could. As draft emails on my blackberry when in the car. And the word count still needed started coming down.
And then I spotted something very interesting on Twitter this weekend that also inspired me - I saw the hashtag '#50kweekend' that was begininning to appear next to the normal '#nanowrimo' ones I've been watching. There are apparently lots of people who are making things even harder for themselves by writing the whole thing, the whole 50,000 words but have only just started this weekend.
I'm not sure if they are all trying to do it in 2 days or whether they will be finishing it off (hopefully) today and tomorrow. But if they can write 50000 in just 2 or 4 days, surely I can write my remaining words in that time?
So when I restarted again I had 20,019 words still to write. Tonight, with less than 18 hours to go I have now 9,995 words to go....it's possible but I'm now so tired and zonked by the whole month I sometimes can't decide whether I've already written scenes before.
It's a crazy thing to attempt, but why not go out in a blaze of glory trying to grab onto the ledge at the other side of the ravine...and many other terrible over blown analogies.
Let's see shall we?
I'll see you on the other side, on Wednesnday 1st December and tell you whether I managed the crazy idea and whether I'll ever want to write another word again.
Plus I'll tell you about my next crazy idea and monthly challenge - 25 days for 25 makings.
See you there!
(Wow, that was 594 words....shame they weren't part of the novel. Doh!)

After a record-setting March last year, Miami-Dade hotels saw hotel occupancy numbers drop this year.
Hotels in the county were nearly 86 percent full in March, a drop of 3.5 percentage points, according to data released Thursday by travel research firm STR. Although average daily rates increased 2 percent to more than $243, revenue per available room was down 1.5 percent to $208.66.
Rolando Aedo, chief marketing officer for the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, said this March had fewer conventions in town and one less weekend of Ultra Music Festival, which last year stretched over two weekends. Easter also fell in March last year.
In Broward, hotel occupancy was slightly down to 87.9 percent. Average room rates of more than $160 a night were about 4.5 percent higher than March of last year. And per-room revenue increased 4.4 percent to more than $141.
The Florida Keys saw slight growth to 89.5 percent occupancy, with rates leaping 9.1 percent to more than $329. Revenue per available room jumped 9.6 percent to nearly $295.
March finished off a strong quarter for the Keys, which said this week that data from STR shows the destination topped all U.S. markets in hotel occupancy and revenue per available room for the first quarter. Occupancy was an average of 88.1 percent for the quarter, while per-room revenue was $262.49.

The companies behind 5 Atlanta restaurant chains filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last week, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reports.
The entities that control Joe's on Juniper, Einstein's, Garrison's Broiler & Tap, Sugar Shack, and Metrotainment Bakery filed for Chapter 11 on June 13th in order to reorganize the companies. This comes in the wake of a judgment ordering the companies to repay over $2.1 million to Miller Capital Ventures for defaulted loan payments, accrued interest, late charges, and attorney's fees. The principal amount at issue in the suit was a $1.45 million loan, $73,279.38 in late fees, accrued pre-judgment interest of $487,955.56, and $132,000 in attorney's fees.
The four companies are Political Concepts, LLC, (DBA Joe's on Juniper), Peach State Restaurants, LLC (DBA Einstein's), Vinings Dining (DBA Garrison's Broiler & Tap), and Mystical Pizza, LLC (DBA Metrotainment Bakery and Sugar Shack.)
Behind all of these companies are managing member, restaurateur, and CEO Jeffery Landau. Landau is also the founder of Hudson Grille and Cowtippers, but neither of those restaurants are part of the chapter 11 filing.
Currently, there are no plans to close any of the restaurants included in the filing.
A copy of the final judgment for the lawsuit can be found here.
