dog, Synostosis, Ectrodactyly, dysostosis
Ectrodactyly is a rare developmental anom-aly of the distal part of the forelimb. It is characterized by the presence of an abnormal longitudinal soft tissue and osseous separation or cleft between the digits and the metacarpal bones. It can be associated with hypoplasia, aplasia and malformation of one or more bones of the antebrachium, carpus, metacarpus and digits. Unilateral ectrodactyly and moderate lameness were diagnosed in a young female dog. The dog was treated surgically with reconstruction of soft tissues and stabilization of the metacarpal bones by two nylon cerclage sutures. After three years a mild residual lameness was present. Radiographic signs of synostosis between the metacarpal bones II, III and IV with presence of a cleft between carpal bones II and III were observed.

Summary: EVERY CITY HAS A NOTTING HELL . . . "A spot of extramarital nookie with a close neighbor is one thing. We're all grown-ups here. But selling a rare-to-the-market mid-Victorian house -- not merely a house but our children's ancestralfamilyhome -- on a communal garden, the sort of house that a banker would trample over his own grandmother to spend his bonus on -- is another thing entirely. It'swrong." Meet Mimi. Mimi may "have it all" -- the house, the children, the part-time vanity job, the skinny jeans, thefeng shuiguru -- but life chez Fleming is not as cushy as she'd like (husband Ralph prefers the trout stream to the fast lane). And when Mimi meets Si, the new billionaire on the block, at a sushi party, she soon faces a choice of keeping up or keeping it real. Then there's her best friend Clare, neat-freak garden designer, deep in biopanic about her childlessness with eco-architect husband, Gideon. Clare monitors all illicit activity in the private West London compound, from light adultery to heavy construction, and she is watching Mimi. . . . Notting Hellis a wickedly funny and oh-so-recognizable comedy of manners, filleting life on a communal garden in London. So take your irreplaceable numbered key and enter Lonsdale Gardens, the world of wealthy one-upmanship, where the old-fashioned laws of love still rule among the stainless steel kitchen appliances, cashmere throws, and compassionately produced cups of latte. INCLUDES "Notting Hill for Beginners," a witty guide to the must-haves and must knows of Notting Hill

"It's difficult for a woman alone in this industry. Everyone wants to sleep with you. If you don't, you've got problems. When you brush off the bosses and the geniuses in the front office, you automatically become a lesbian. If you do go along with these idiots, you're a bum. Name it and take your choice. This is the story of my life. I have been called a lesbian since I entered this business at 15 and made it clear that I did not intend to go along with shoddy practices. This, strange to say, is the accepted practice in show business. Some girls on the way up find it easier if they accept the intentions of certain powerful individuals. This is not always the case and I am case in point. …I am sick and tired of being stepped on and talked about and called names because I will not compromise."

Putting Aside Perfection: Letting Your Younger Kids Help
Sometimes I need to give myself a gentle reminder— if I have the time, I need to find the patience to let my kids help me when they ask. It sounds like a no-brainer, but admit it — if you're a parent, you've probably suffered from "it'd be so much easier if I could just do it myself… " Whether it's loading the dishwasher, sweeping the floor, or preparing lunch, our kids present us with a wonderful opportunity for teaching and bonding when they ask, "Can I help?"
I'm actually a little bit ashamed to admit that I ever turn my kids down when they ask to help — I'd like to imagine myself as a magazine-ready model mom, full of gentle patience and quiet instruction. But cut to a scene in everyday life, maybe a scene where I'm not quite in top form, not running on all cylinders, patience-wise — and I'm a bit more apt than I'd like to admit to turn down requests for "help." And I do mean "help" — oftentimes my three-year-old's efforts aren't exactly quick, tidy, efficient, or even moving us in the right direction. (Picture a toddler helping sweep up a pile of crumbs… concentrating hard, he deftly disperses the crumbs over a wider area than they originally covered in the first place.)
But this is where I'd like to press pause and ask myself, what's the point? If it's really to get the floor spotlessly clean, well… unless I am running a restaurant or an operating room, that can just wait for a little while. I have to remind myself that the point, the idea of it all, is to not just clean my floor but to be a parent. Be a parent while I clean my floor. Easier said than done, but here are some tips:
• Expect it to take longer. And be okay with it. Unless I'm running on a super tight schedule, I need to tell myself I can take a few minutes to help show my little one a good way to do something and watch while he tries it.
• Expect it to be done less-than-perfectly. And be okay with that, too. I can always sweep up after I graciously accept his help.
• If I really do just want to do it myself, find an alternative for the wanna-be assistant. "Yes, you can help! Here, you wipe up with this rag while I wipe up with this rag!" (I'm using cleaner, he's using water.)
• Keep my kitchen kid-help-friendly. I have all my kid cups and plates down low, in drawers, so if they want to unload the dishwasher, it's actually doable for them to tackle the kid items. It's also great to have a good stepstool on hand for the cooking helpers.
• Remember to appreciate this season of life. It sounds cliche, but these days won't last forever. In a good way and in a sentimental way. I need to remind myself to try not to take these opportunities for granted, and to take advantage of the little things when they are presented to me.

It is good practice in learning patience. Trust me. It comes back again when dealing with parents with Alzheimers. Patience is a gift you give to those you love. It allows little people to learn and the Alzheimers patient dignity.
After breakfast, the floor is always a mess. Lately I've been giving my toddler a rag to help wipe up. He sees the result of throwing things on the floor and has fun cleaning by my side.
Great post.
But if you live with ANYONE else, child or adult (or a childish adult!) you need to chill when it comes to their chores. If you criticize, carp and re-do another person's work, it will frustrate you and demoralize them.
This is something we've already started with our sixteen month old daughter. My husband and I are both Montessori teachers and we want her to feel engaged. So important and wonderful! xo
My husband and I were watching my friend's kids, 3 year old girl and 5 year old boy. The three year old wanted to help make the pizza for dinner, so I pulled up the step stool, washed her hands (and mine) and we kneaded the dough together. I would knead for 10-15 seconds and she would then squish the dough with her hands leaving two little hand imprints. That was one of the funnest things we did that night. Could she knead the dough perfectly? No, but we could together.
If kids want to help, let them help and kindly guide them and teach them the proper way to do the chore. The point of letting the child do the chore is that they are trying and they want be with you, not how well the job was done. With the child's age and understanding you can say something like "Oh go get that spot" and when that spot is clean "Good job!" Praise them for what they did, not criticized them for what they missed. Children love to be praised. As they grow older, they'll get better at it and you can show them kindly what they missed so they can get better.
Letting kids help clean when they're young helps to build expectations for them to do chores when they are older.
This is such a great reminder. What's really going to happen if we put our kids or husbands in charge of some chores? Someone might break a dish? Some dishes might have to be rewashed? The floor won't be perfectly clean? Who cares!
The earlier and more often kids start learning how to help, the earlier they'll be able to ACTUALLY help. Giving simple chores to a three year old means that by age six, they will have three years of practice at sweeping the floors, wiping down the coffee table, and organizing the shoe cubby, and will actually be effective at helping out a bit around the house. It seems like for some reason, there is currently a weird taboo AGAINST teaching kids basic tasks, like somehow childhood will be lessened by helping out around the house? When really, one would think imparting basic life skills into their offspring from early on would be a no-brainer? I dunno. I just find it baffling that 5 year olds in "primitive" cultures are able to prepare a dish on their own as part of a family meal, yet there is a huge abundance of American teenagers that have never so much as taken out the trash. So weird.
(also, I'm not trying to imply that you somehow have a lazy 3 year old or something, because that is crazy. just trying to get across my growing opinion that kids are capable of so much more than they are given credit for, and that it is completely fair and good to bring them up with the expectation that they contribute according to their ability, as their abilities are pushed and practiced and developed.)
Toddlers are great for cleaning baseboards. Have them do it while you're in the room. They respond positively to effusive praise and often have longer attention spans than you think they do.
Great post. I strive to be this way, but it is so hard to put it into practice.
This is a great reminder to live my life the way that I want it to be!
Wonderful point--particularly apt for those of us in the "sandwich generation" who sometimes feel like we are parenting our children and our parents at the same time!
Great post, and a topic that's close to my heart. When I was a student teacher, I had a seventh grader who had a meltdown when she spilled some stuff on the floor and we told her to clean it up--turns out she had no idea how to sweep. (Of course, we taught her how to do it, but it was a pretty low point for everyone involved.) Seeing her embarrassment in front of her classmates, I resolved that when I did eventually have children, they'd know how to clean up their own messes, at least!
Now that I have children, I try to keep this in mind. I started having my son, then two and a half, "help" with the laundry by folding washcloths (which didn't really need to be folded, since we just toss them into a basket anyway, but it seemed like a good way to occupy him while I folded everything else--and, bonus, he learned a lot about shapes and symmetry!) He got really into it and now, at age five, he can fold his t-shirts and roll his pants reasonably well. Instead of stacking his clothes in drawers or on shelves, we have color- and number-coded bins (from Ikea), so he can put his own clothes away when I bring them up from the dryer. Sometimes I challenge him to see whether he can put his clothes away before I get his infant sister's stuff sorted (he always wins, because those tiny baby clothes take forever to put away!)
We also bought him a small broom and dustpan, so that he can help sweep up the mess under his chair after meals, and he helps my husband take out the trash and recycling. Sometimes, he helps to set the silverware out, and he's in charge of getting the candles and challah cover ready for Shabbat dinner on Friday nights. I'm still too nervous to let him handle glassware or plates, though, and I know I need to get over that soon!
My almost-three year old's favorite chore right now is cleaning the litter box. Score! Easily my most detested chore. Grant it, we have to closely supervise the entire process but I've never seen such enthusiasm with that task. He also loves to wash all the things--hand that boy a washcloth and he goes to town. We try to be encouraging and patient. Some days are better than others with that. :)
I cannot do any cleaning without my toddler helping. He loves cleaning. I don't know where he learned it, not from me!!!
I've been heavily influenced by the Montessori principles, so my almost-2-year old has been helping put away laundry, set her place at her table, put away dishes, rinse veggies, and help with baking for months. The cool thing at this age is that there's nothing they'd rather do than help out around the house.
Great post. Some of my fondest memories of childhood were helping my grandmother cook in the kitchen and the time she spent patiently teaching me how to sew. These things continue to help me in my life today, as an adult and mother of 2. Patience is such a hard thing to master, but the memories and real life application of skills learned remind me that taking that time with your young ones is something that they will never forget and something that will serve them for years to come.
My kid sets the tables, has been on it for years and years. It was his speech therapist who told me to arrange everything at low level so he could reach it. He must have been about 3-4 years then. Now he´s a little pro already at the ripe age of 8. He also grabs the duster every now and then ( usually without asking ), polishes the lacquered furniture with me etc. I plan to buy Ergorapido ( our old died ) vacuum, in a week or few, so he can vacuum his little heart out at will. Back in the days he used to love vacuuming but our HEPA- filtered beast is too complicated for him to haul from closet.
He showed first signs of wiping dinnertable at about 6 months when he took his napkin and mimicked sweeping movements from my cleaning cloth. Ever since I used to give him a damp cloth after every meal and even when he has some challenges in communicating, it is easy to see the pride in his very being for contributing to our living environments.
Yes, it used to take some time and a lot of patience to engage him but now he truly contributes to our home with what he is capable of doing.
One great tip is to have cleaning tools and materials specifically for the children: a small broom and dustpan, a tiny spray bottle with water and a touch of vinegar, a basket of clean rags, a bucket. It's much easier for the children to do the work if they have correctly sized tools.
This is a timely post, because this morning my two older children (ages 5 and 2.5, respectively) took it upon themselves to clean the toilet. I had to restrain myself from shouting, "stop! you're dripping toilet water everywhere!" Because really, my children voluntarily cleaned the toilet. I have to encourage that. The baby likes to work, too. I wrote about it, including some pics of her working AND what the result looked like (not tidy): Baby at Work on Jewish Montessori Mom
I absolutely love your question--"What's the point?" There are so many things to do in a day (and things that NEED to get done around the house--not just sweeping to have a tidier place, but making meals so the family can eat, etc.) that it can be hard to watch those chores grow by adding the "help" of a young child. But if we can keep focus on "the point" of it all, it's easier to remember that those moments of parenting are just as important, if not moreso, than getting dinner on the table at the planned time, etc.
The feeling of independence they get from doing things on their own, and the feeling of value and pride they get from helping out, are so wonderful, and the flipside is also true--there is nothing good that comes of being told your help is not needed or wanted, you're too small or too slow, you don't do it right, you're in the way. Of course we don't use those words, but I think the message comes across just the same. It is hard, but I try never to turn down help if I can possibly think of a safe way for them to contribute.
My mother taught me how to do my laundry when I was 5 (I'm the younger sibling of two). I remember her telling me that since I was starting to go to big kid school, that I had to be ready to plan out what I was going to wear for the week and make sure those things were clean.
She made sure to put a smaller container of the laundry detergent we used at my level and show me the lines for measuring (also an important skill). Mom also told me she remembered more than once seeing me upside down, little legs kicking trying to reach the bottom of the washer for a sock or something that had stuck to the side.
Before I learned how to do laundry, I remember helping folding and then bringing my fisher-price shopping cart into the living room to "shop" for my clothes to take back and put away in my room. Mom was a genius!
Contrast this with my HS best friend whose mother did her laundry all the way through HS and into college. She was at a total loss for how to do laundry in the dorms freshman year.
I let my 2-year-old help me empty the dishwasher (I cannot believe that she did not break one dish yet!), set up the table, sweep floors, wipe up spills, throw stuff into the trash and one of her favorites: clean the dryer lint :)
Whenever she wants to do something, I find a way to let her and it is already paying off. But the best thing is when says "I did it" with a big proud smile.
One thing we both enjoyed the other week is baking a banana cake. I let her peel and cut the bananas with a butter knife. She was over-joyed when the cake was done and insisted that she distributes the plates <3

Leveling a druid is perhaps the most pure fun you can have in the game- from a casual player's standpoint. Getting around is super easy, especially when you hit level 60 and get flight form. I flew around and jumped off buildings for probably an hour. All the different forms- and I have yet to play a boomkin- but I want to. I am more drawn to hybrids, probably because you have such versatility. All the dances are fun- the druid is just a ball of fun. If you love questing and want to go for lore master, druid is probably the way to go. And yes, the shapeshifting is so much fun that I almost feel guilty if I am standing around in my elven form :p If you haven't tried a druid yet, please do.

German air traffic controllers will participate in protests against European Commission plans, trade union Gewerkschaft der Flugsicherung said Tuesday, and it expect "massive disturbances" on Oct. 10.
The Air Traffic Controllers European Unions Coordination has announced actions for that day to protest against European Union plans related to the reorganization of flight control.
The association of trade unions opposes European Commissioner Siim Kallas' plans for guidelines regarding safety, capacities, environment and cost efficiency for the 2015-to-2019 period.
Flight control organizations would have to raise their fees extremely or cut costs radically to meet Mr. Kallas' targets, said Matthias Maas, head of Gewerkschaft der Flugsicherung.

Dinner Guests | Lots of People ;-)
It was getting later in the afternoon and Kurt had still not heard from Holly. He had a bad feeling about all of it and he decided to try to be more aggressive about it. They had exchanged numbers when Elijah came over so Kurt grabbed the phone and nervously dialed.
A man answered.
Kurt's nerves doubled but he focused on keeping his voice calm and friendly. "Hello, is this Steven?" he asked in what he hoped was a pleasant tone.
"Who's calling?"
"This is Kurt Hummel. Your son Elijah is my son Joah's best friend, sir. And your wife Holly is his teacher."
"Is there something I can do for you?"
"Well, I don't know if your wife mentioned this but I was hoping, since our sons are friends, that you all would come have dinner with us tonight. I just thought it would make sense for us to know each other."
There was silence, and then Kurt heard Steven say "Hold on a moment." Then he heard the man call through his home. A voice, which was obviously Holly spoke, but Kurt couldn't make out what they were saying. Finally, Steven returned.
"Fine," he said. "When should we be there."
"Maybe be here at five?" Kurt tried. "Then we can have dinner at six?"
"Alright. Five oclock then." He hung up and Kurt let out a huge breath before springing to his feet.
He had so much to prepare.
"THEY'RE COMING TONIGHT!' He shouted through the apartment as he went into the kitchen and started deciding what sort of dinner they would serve.

Ivies at Bowdoin aka one of the craziest weekends of my life. Senior spring means making this final ivies the best one yet and I think that it went pretty damn well! The concert yesterday was sick and I loved Milkman!! I was confused when the lineup came out because I had only heard of Childish Gambino but this DJ was sooo good! Phantograms I didn't really listen to that much because the food was out by then, and Childish obvi was good (loved it when he sang about asian girls because then my friends kept pointing at me…fools). I've heard some mixed reviews from other people but I tip my hat to you, Ivies and to another year conquered. Now for the rest of this semester and Senior week (my poor liver)!

Team Ratings
Hamburger SV
R. Adler
He has been one of the in-form goalkeepers in the Bundesliga since the start of the season, and he showed some of that form to help keep Bayern at bay for large periods of the game.
D. Diekmeier
The full-back looked weak going forward and struggled to deal with Alaba and Ribery when defending. Booked a third of the way into the match for a careless elbow and was forced to be even more conservative in his challenges from then on.
M. Mancienne
The former Chelsea centre-back looked sharp in the first-half of the match, with a super tackle on Alaba inside the box a particular highlight. But a momentary lapse in concentration allowed Bayern to catch the hosts on the break and score the opener.
H. Westermann
He was sturdy in the first 45 minutes but part of a backline that buckled early in the second-half. The club captain will want to forget this team performance quickly.
M. Jansen
He started at left-back before moving up to left of midfield in the second-half. He showed one moment of timely pace and passing 12 minutes in but not too much else. Yellow carded for dissent.
T. Rincón
He had the best (and only) Hamburg chance of the first-half when he shot inches wide from 30 yards and he shielded well when in possession. But, his marking was slack and he let opposition players have too much time on the ball. Brought off at half-time.
T. Arslan
Looked sloppy and wasteful in possession. His passing was restricted to long balls which rarely came off.
R. van der Vaart
Spearheading the centre of Hamburg's attack, the ex-Real Madrid man threatened briefly but struggled to stamp his authority.
M. Beister
The attacker was completely anonymous in the first-half perhaps even more so in the second period.
M. Badelj
The Croatian midfielder held his own early on in the game but struggled to keep the likes of Schweinsteiger and Kroos at bay.
Heung-Min Son
The South Korean starlet was comfortable with the ball at his feet, but was not given as much opportunity to play as he would of liked.
Bayern München
M. Neuer
Barely had anything to do in the match for 45 minutes except watch the game in front of him. Had to make a couple of routine saves in the second but nothing of any great danger.
D. Alaba
The young left-back looked sprightly with his bursts up and down the flanks causing chaos in Hamburg's defence. Forced a few saves from Adler and made timely tackles in his position further back when it was needed.
P. Lahm
The full-back attacked with pace in his customary manner, but also showed his ability in defence with a couple of vital interceptions.
The Brazilian had a quiet game but showed sufficient quality when required.
J. Boateng
The ex-Manchester City defender's passing was occasionally wayward, but his positioning was more solid and his marking of Van der Vaart efficient.
F. Ribéry
A petty booking aside for a late tackle, the France international was in stunning form. He was a persistent threat, helped craft the second goal and put through a perfectly-weighted pass for the third.
Luiz Gustavo
The midfielder went quietly about his business and enjoyed an efficient display before being replaced by Javi Martinez late on.
B. Schweinsteiger
The Germany international opened the scoring with a header and helped to dominate the midfield. Ran the show in the middle of the park.
T. Kroos
The attacking midfielder nearly tore the net in two with his thunderbolt goal and put in an admirable shift that was full of running.
T. Müller
Quiet early on but then burst into life by creating the first goal with a flicked header just before half-time. He then doubled the scoreline with a masterful finish from an acute angle.
M. Mandžukić
The striker had a number of chances to get on the scoresheet but it was not to be his day, with his team-mates taking responsibility for goalscoring duties on this occasion.
A. Tymoshchuk
Came on late in the game but did not play long enough to make an impact of note.
Javi Martínez
Brought on for Gustavo, the midfielder was needlessly yellow carded with just over 20 minutes left. He helped keep Hamburg's midfield at bay, but by the time he had been brought on the hosts had lost all of their fighting spirit.

why does true view take over dwg associations seemingly by simply opening the application??
now i have to go figure out how to get AutoCAD back as the default dwg app AND have it opening files the way i want.
get it together autodesk.
Last 'dwg' app started takes over: if you had multiple DOC or XLS or PDF programs they would do the same (unless they are good ones that offer to not do that).
Use Windows' built-in Send-To feature to take control of which app opens what files and when: yes, it requires a right-click.
any app i've used that could potentially switch your default app *always* asks. the autodesk products are the only ones that do not.
we actually have an old custom app that uses an old voloview dll. imagine the fun that creates!

Candied Yams Recipe
Candied yams are a classic holiday dish, one that Martha Jubrey prepares with her grandson Desmond Marley Castillo in our Cooking with Grandma video, Kwanzaa edition.
What to buy: Although often used interchangeably, yams and sweet potatoes are not the same. Yams are seldom sold in American grocery stores (but sometimes found in Latin markets) and are not indigenous to the United States. The two varieties of sweet potatoes most often seen in grocery stores are the white or pale sweet potato and the darker-skinned, orange-fleshed garnet and jewel varieties most often mistaken for yams. These red-skinned potatoes are sweeter than the pale variety and are the best candidate for any recipe calling for yams.
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 medium sweet potatoes, cooked and peeled (I steam or microwave the potatoes to retain more taste)
- Melt butter; stir in corn syrup, water, brown sugar, and salt.
- Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Dip in corn syrup mixture, coating all sides. Place in a 13-by-9-by-2-inch pan. Pour remaining syrup on top.
- Bake at 325°F about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Baste occasionally.
This recipe, while from a trusted source, may not have been tested by the CHOW food team.

Getting To Know... Karolina Sprem
Published May 26, 2003 12:00
STRASBOURG, France - Croatian Karolina Sprem qualified for her first WTA Tour main draw at Strasbourg this past week, won her first WTA Tour main draw match, and proceeded to defeat the No.1 seed in her second round match. But she did not stop there. Instead, Sprem earned her way to the finals of the Internationaux de Strasbourg Tier III event, and took two-time defending champion Silvia Farina Elia to three sets before falling.
Sprem is not unfamiliar to this streak of success, as she has qualified for three consecutive ITF events this year and gone on to win the title at all three. She started the year ranked No.272 and has now jumped to No.99.
You started 2003 by winning your first 28 matches and four ITF tournaments. Was this amazing start to the season a surprise to you?
KS: I had never believed I could win four tournaments in a row. I practiced hard with my coach and did a lot of off-court training, but I didn't expect that. My coach (Sacha Hirzson) always tells me that I'm the best, that I can make it but me I never believed it. Now I'm happy because I showed myself that what he was telling me all the time was true.
Your win in the Strasbourg second round over Jelena Dokic was very impressive. How much more pressure do you feel playing in WTA Tour events, against the top players, than playing in satellites and challengers?
KS: I don't have pressure playing any tournament. I was a bit nervous before playing Jelena because she is a Top 10 player and the only top player I had played before was Myskina during Fed Cup. But my coach always tells me to watch the ball not your opponent, that I am playing against the ball. So for me I have no pressure.
How important to you has having people like fellow Croatians Iva Majoli and Goran Ivanisevic there to inspire you to make your mark in tennis? Have they helped you at all or given you advice?
KS: Of course when two Croats win a Grand Slam you tell yourself if they can do it then why not me, so that in itself is a source of inspiration. I don't practice with Iva but I look up to her. I did receive advice from Goran during Fed Cup and that was great.
Since most people are only beginning to recognize your name, can you tell us a little bit about how you got started playing tennis?
KS: I started to play tennis at nine. There was a club near where I live in Varazdin, and my dad asked me if I would like to try it. I loved it. I played for two years just to have fun and then took it a bit more seriously. It was funny, during my first tournament when I was 11 years old, I did not even know how to count the points, so I had no clue if I was winning or losing! I started playing ITF events in Croatia and then came the results, so here I am.
With such a great start to the season, have you had to reassess the goals you had at the start of the year? How much have they changed?
KS: At the beginning of the year, my goal was to reach the Top 100, but now that does not seem far away. I just want to play good tennis, be my best when I go out there, and keep healthy. Those are very important.
What moment (a tournament victory, ranking achievement) did you realize that professional tennis was going to be your career?
KS: There was never a moment I thought I would be a professional tennis player. I never took it very seriously, it was always fun for me to play, then I had good results, so it just happened.
What have been some of the favorites cities you've been to so far in your travels?
KS: I like Florida, the sun and the sea. But I also like to go on vacation in Grikvenica, it is on an island near Kirk. I go there often with my sister.
What is your ultimate tennis goal?
KS: I don't have a goal. When I played juniors, I said I wanted to be a Top 10 player, but that never happened. So now I just want to play good tennis at every match and the results will follow.

One day in Paris. Last Saturday I did my best to capture the best of fall 2012 in Paris. So you can enjoy the newest spots when you're heading there for a city trip (or maybe I can even surprise Parisian citizens with some new things). We will start with a scoop. A restaurant opened just a week ago and is so amazing I can't wait to show you. Furthermore I've discovered a lot of cool coffee places. Some shops (like the one pictured above, which is the absolute heaven if you want to treat yourself to a completely new fall outfit, for both men and women) and there was a new Aesop store with an interior so inspiring you want to get into some DIY at home right away. I hope to inspire you to go out and enjoy Paris!

Grace McCurrie, Age 14
Pottsville Middle School
Teacher, Carrie Drake
The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program (JDS) is a dynamic arts curriculum that teaches wetlands and waterfowl conservation to students in kindergarten through high school. The program incorporates scientific and wildlife management principles into a visual arts curriculum with participants completing a JDS design as their visual "term papers."
The JDS has increased in popularity significantly since its inception in 1989 and moreover since the implementation of a national art contest and stamp in 1993. The program was first recognized by Congress in 1994 when the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program Act was enacted. In 2000, Congress reauthorized the program and expanded it from seventeen states to include student participants in all fifty states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories.
Participation in the program nationwide has remained steady since 2000 with over 28,000 students entering a state art contest each year. While the program's data collection methods do not account for students who participate in curriculum activities without submitting artwork, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of students have been educated on the importance of waterfowl and wetlands conservation since the enactment of the 1994 legislation.
Revenue from the sales of the JDS reached $172,000 in Fiscal Year 2004 and go to support awards and environmental education for students who participate in the program as well as efforts to market the JDS.
For more information about the competition, visit http://www.fws.gov/juniorduck/ArtContest.htm.

The Matrix Studio has quickly become the go-to shaft of the select group of highly-specialized professional golf club builders. Matrix Studio shafts carry the rare distinction of being a high performance shaft line that is easy to hit. With an unmatched variety of wood-to-hybrid-to-iron weights and ball flights, Studio provides the serious player the chance to fully blend from driver to wedge.
In the effort to provide a full studio fitting experience, Matrix Studio shafts come in four wood weights: Studio 64, 74, 84, and 94; four iron weights: Studio 64, 74, 84, and 94; and, new for 2008, two hybrid weights: Studio 64 and 84. Each of the Studio weights has a corresponding ball flight. Ball flight lowers as shaft weight gets heavier.
Mix and match weights to blend high launching, lighter weight drivers or long-irons with lower launching, heavier fairway woods or mid-to-short irons or choose one perfect Studio model throughout a woods or iron set-up for uniform, predictable feel.
Each Matrix Studio shaft is tested for Circum-Flex Integrity [CFI], a measure of uniform flex, no matter the shaft alignment. Then through Matrix Multi-Matching process, each shaft is tested for proper tip-to-butt section proportionality. No other manufacturer employs this process. The Matrix Multi-Matching and CFI produce the most repeatable, accurate performance in a golf shaft today.

Random dialog about a fangirl, veteran slasher, bisexual, design student, part-time writer and professional procrastinator.
At some point or another, I will (re)blog on the subject of: Bioware (Mass Effect & Dragon Age), Supernatural, Sanctuary, Lost Girl, Dexter, Game of Thrones, Assassin's Creed, Portal, Batman, DC, Marvel, Sandman, Harry Potter, Dune, various scifi, space, artwork, pretties, or anything else that catches my eye. I have the attention span of a gnat surrounded by mounds of rotten fruit... which is to say, not much.
Love it!
Whoa. Hello.
This makes me wish Fenris had been a girl. Seriously, the broody look is so much sexier with boobies.
I can think of a few people who would probably say no, but YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

One For Sorrow: Why did Kieron do it?
No-one knows.
Until now.
Spoilers for all of JIM, obv.
There's been some smart meta readings of the book. They're almost all correct. Journey Into Mystery was the most meta of all my books – and all my books are meta. But it's not just a book about comics, and the horror of being a fictional villain in the Marvel Universe. It's a book about a boy trying to prove he can be different. He can be better. He can change.
The primary question I asked myself before starting Journey Into Mystery was how I could best tell that story.
I've said before that, societally speaking, I'm part of a culture that enjoys telling stories about self-determination. If Journey Into Mystery was a film, some small part of you would presume that the reincarnated form of the wicked god would find a way to change his ways. But this is western mainstream company-owned comics, and when the wicked god is the antagonist in the third biggest film of all times, there's a different sort of pressure. Not that anyone ever told me I had to. You just knew. We all knew. Generally speaking, bar the blessed innocents, people presumed he'll fail. And the absolute dread of that looming on the horizon is one of the things which gave it power.
Of the book's tricks, that it convinced people that Loki really could change probably is the foremost.
But he couldn't.
I knew that if I ended the story with Kid Loki proved that he could change forever, it'd be beautiful. We'd cheer for that. I wish I could have left him running free over those green hills with Leah. But at some point down the line, someone would perform a heel turn. It could be a decade. It would more likely be weeks. At that point, the story's point is inverted.
Suddenly our hymn to triumphing against expectations because a cynical "Of course Kid Loki couldn't change". He was always going to turn evil. We'd have told a story that some people are just bad 'uns.
I'd be damned if I was going to be any part of that story.
So I had to kill Kid Loki.
In fact, killing him wouldn't be enough. This is American superhero comics, and Loki's a god. When a character in the story is the goddess of death, it's not exactly tricky to get him back on stage.
So what I had to do was utterly destroy him. Annihilate him. Remove the very thought of him. And then, give the Marvel Universe perfectly good Loki for people to do whatever they wish with, to remove the temptation to bring back our little guy.
It's not a perfect plan. Someone could still try and bring back Kid Loki. Claim there's some kind of back-up somewhere. I'd advise against that, whoever ends up writing Thor in 10 years time. Because as good as your heart is, if you do so, someone else will eventually write Kid Loki Turns Evil and we'll be left with a Some People Are Just Evil story. At the least if someone does do that, there's a little plausible deniability of it really being Kid Loki.
In passing, the fact that someone would turn Kid Loki evil eventually would be the reason a "bring back old Loki and keep Kid Loki around" ending wouldn't have worked. It doesn't matter if there's an Old Evil Loki lying around. Kid Loki Turns Evil is too tempting a story, and first rate antagonists are too rare in comics.
I destroyed Kid Loki because it was the only way for him to win.
As angry as he is in the end, as much as he loved his life, he went to the darkness knowing that he won.
And as Old Loki looks out through younger eyes, he knows he's lost.
It's not a happy ending for anyone, but it's the happiest Kid Loki could have.
It's better to die as good fiction.
A final thought: I don't think Loki will ever go back to a creature of pure malice.
Ironically, you can thank the movie for that. Hiddleston's intelligent, complicated and conflicted take on Loki was simply too compelling a figure. Whatever Loki's going to be next, he's going to have that in him. Which pleases me enormously, as that's the sort of Loki I tried to write in Siege: Loki which started this whole thing off.
So, what now for Loki? He's literally annihilated his innocence, and it went into nothingness mocking him. That puts him in a great situation, character wise. Loki's black bitterness rests on a bed of jealousy, of fingers pointing outwards. He blames other people. He says it's their fault. He's doing it in 645, in the final panel.
But first he curses himself.
Interesting place for a character, that.
Young Avengers. January 2013.
You glorious bastard
We're the bad guys all along. There are no happy endings because we never accept an end to our stories, no matter how much hurt and pain it means for the characters we spend so much of our time caring about and following. The only way to "win" is for you to be on top when your story ends.
Damn you for showing us that. Thank you for making it so amazingly worthwhile. You're a bastard for screwing with us, but you are the very best for making us care.
One question, though. You make it seem like the next writer to use (now, old again) Loki will ultimately revert this, ultimately pull him towards being bad again. That's well and good, if it was some other writer.
It's you though. The scope and the stakes have changed immensely. But you're still there, pulling the strings. It makes one wonder.
This was the conclusion I'd come to about why you did it, but I didn't think you'd come out and say it so frankly. Thanks for doing that – it makes me feel a lot better about the whole thing. It's a shame that it had to be this way, but preserving what he accomplished is definitely the best ending that he could've had.
I also agree about the complexity of old!Loki, and I do like that you wrote the first blame going to himself. Hopefully that will be a place to grow from.
Thanks again for writing this. It's always a comfort, when a story has had such an emotionally affecting conclusion, to know that the author is doing what you hoped he was doing.
"And then, give the Marvel Universe perfectly good Loki for people to do whatever they wish with, to remove the temptation to bring back our little guy."
Best way to do this is to write a Loki who isn't needlessly cruel and dripping with bitter bile, treating everyone around him like garbage. Make him care when he feels he must do something wrong, make him take pains not to cause any more harm than necessary. Sure he can enjoy some chump getting himself in a mess, but it needs to be tempered with compassion. Evil just doesn't suit Comic Loki anymore; he's outgrown it. He's better at being a tortured errand boy for cosmic balance, who has trouble figuring out how to get things done sometimes without using a little wickedness. And for goodness sake, we really need to get Loki and Thor past the screaming and hitting stage as their main mode of interaction.
I have to say I really love Siege Loki because he actually had some depth, even though we didn't get to see him for long. It feels ironic to be someone who doesn't mind Kid Loki being gone, especially if someone finally gets Loki to grow past being a traditional comic villain into something more interesting.
I think we've seen the start of Loki's quest of self-betterment.
Nowhere near the end of it.
It won't be easy for him to live it, and it won't be easy for us to watch at times. In fact, just as it is right now, it's sometimes going to be horrific.
Between you and Hiddleston's on-screen performances, the seed's been planted…
"Someone could still try and bring back Kid Loki. Claim there's some kind of back-up somewhere. I'd advise against that, whoever ends up writing Thor in 10 years time. Because as good as your heart is, if you do so, someone else will eventually write Kid Loki Turns Evil and we'll be left with a Some People Are Just Evil story. At the least if someone does do that, there's a little plausible deniability of it really being Kid Loki."
This part is quite telling.
Death in comics has always been a double edged sword. When a character dies, many fans don't really think that they're permanently dead, regardless of how definitive the death is or how many assurances are given by the writers and editors that the character is truly gone.
But on the flip side, whenever a character is brought back, there's always some question as to whether or not it's the "real" version of that character. Just look at all the stories where a resurrected character turned out to be a clone, or a parallel version from another dimension, or a Doombot, etc.
The way Kid Loki "dies" plays upon those contradictory expectations quite perfectly. You may say that you've "utterly destroyed" him and discouraged attempts to bring him back but there will always be that lingering doubt. I do wonder if this is also meant to play upon those suspicions on both sides, the doubt that Kid Loki is truly dead, and the doubt that if it's truly him if he is ever brought back.
Do you realize that you are the first writer that creates a character for Marvel/Disney and goes away with him under his armpit? Such a ruse is worth of a master liesmith, mister Gillen.
I would praise you as much as you deserve, but my english skills are not up to the task.
Mr Gillen, I've read your musings in various PC gaming outlets for years, and after a long hiatus, have been avidly devouring rediscovering comics in my 30's.
It's only in the last few weeks I put together a few things in my mind, noticed certain names turning up in multiple locations and realised how much I enjoy the writings of one Mr Kieron Gillen.
So thank you sir, as an avid reader of words who has long, sadly discarded the opportunity to write them, to a master of the pen.
I appreciate your giving a character a definitive conclusion all too often lacking in the comic genre. Kid Loki "died" this issue, and that was not ambiguous, nor should it be.
However, the beauty of art is the openness to (reasonable) interpretation beyond the author's original intent. Even though Kid Loki is indisputably dead, there are still many interesting questions and speculations as to how exactly we reached this point, and what was the real relationship between Ikol/Loki and Kid Loki. I am hoping you leave that ambiguous and to our imagination during your run on Young Avengers :).
In #645, Loki and Kid Loki stated each other explicitly to be separate , distinct beings. They claimed no more kinship than glorified genetic clones – just like Peter Parker and Kaine would never call themselves the same person.
Yet if we remember that Ikol was always inside Loki's head, and the whole of 645 was enacted there; then could it be possible that they were always more linked than either accepted? So for instance, was Ikol simply "implanted" in Kid Loki's head by the spell old Loki had placed on the library book in the first issue? Or rather, did Ikol always exist in Kid Loki's head as the evil aspect of his soul, and the spell only gave him form and attached old Loki's memories?
Could it have been that Kid Loki always had a split personality? And that in his fear of being rejected and evil again, he "othered" Ikol/Loki as a ghost and not himself, and displaced all his malice or bitterness to that aspect? And that likewise, because Ikol/Loki always hated himself so much, he couldn't accept that the noble Kid Loki was actually part of himself but rather must be a completely , different distinct being that old Loki was exploiting?
Given that Loki has such a history of self-deception, lying, loathing and psychological turmoil, there is more than one way to interpret what literally happened in 645. Not just because myth itself has so many allegorical layers, but also because an encounter on the psychic/psychological plane is of necessity at least somewhat metaphorical.
My own theory is that when Old Loki died in Siege, he did leave behind a simulacrum with his own memories and magical powers – perhaps even his intellect- but he could not leave behind a separate, distinct "soul" from his reincarnated form. Kid Loki was always one being, but his innocence could not accept that Ikol was fundamentally part of him, and vice versa.
What happened in the end wasn't just old Loki killing his child incarnation – rather, it's even worse than the literalist interpretation. It was old Loki killing/extinguishing part of his own soul and inner child, and disowning his own redemption journey in JIM so that his malicious aspect could reassert control.
A brutal spiritual self-lobotomy and perfect example of Loki's loathing of himself that Hiddleston alluded to in his letter.
I would love to see this story become Loki's "Killing Joke". There the insane Joker says he "prefers to remember his past in multiple choice", and future writers exploited the statement to always reinterpret his motivations and origins without changing continuity.
As the trickster God lies throughout to himself and others, we can have an eternal mystery. Was the heroic Kid Loki we saw in JIM before his actual murder actually once part of the same soul as current Loki? Or rather as in the most literal reading of #645, was Kid Loki simply an "alternate-verse Loki"; a vision of Loki from a What-If story that was extinguished and replaced with our own old Loki?
I prefer the former theory myself, but either way Kid Loki is truly gone. Even if Loki rediscovers his own redemption or inner child, it will be a new journey and distinct existence from the being we just saw die a hero's death.
It's worth noting, that the article is about Why I Did It not How I Did It or What I Did. The initial thinking about the shape of the story is only a tiny part of the whole story. If this was the only thing JIM says, I'd definitely have failed.
(I will respond to other people with comments later. Just wanted to note that.)
I literally clicked the bottom of the question mark in this article like six times to see if it would do anything.
It's not a perfect plan. Someone could still try and bring back Kid Loki. Claim there's some kind of back-up somewhere. I'd advise against that, whoever ends up writing Thor in 10 years time. Because as good as your heart is, if you do so, someone else will eventually write Kid Loki Turns Evil and we'll be left with a Some People Are Just Evil story. At the least if someone does do that, there's a little plausible deniability of it really being Kid Loki.
In passing, the fact that someone would turn Kid Loki evil eventually would be the reason a "bring back old Loki and keep Kid Loki around" ending wouldn't have worked. It doesn't matter if there's an Old Evil Loki lying around. Kid Loki Turns Evil is too tempting a story, and first rate antagonists are too rare in comics.
Don't be silly.
If there were two Lokis around, Kid Loki would fade into the background until he was used as crossover cannon fodder in a decade's time.
I don't understand, aren't you the next writer to be writing Loki? I get your logic for doing what you did, but it seems to me that your story with Loki is far from over, only to be continued in Young Avengers. So why kill him off, so to speak, now? Since, as you acknowledged, we all know that he would have to turn evil again eventually, why not get as many great stories with him good as possible? He was a great character, kudos for that. He will be missed.
Oh man. I'm so busy I'm never going to get back and answer this lot properly. I'm sorry. Thanks for all your thoughts.
Re: Last One. That I ended up the next writer is neither here nor there. Or if it is here or there, it's more than a little ironic. I didn't know that'd I'd be writing more Loki when JIM ended, so I was planning on a singular statement and leaving the character in a fun place to pick up with for whoever came next.
That I'm the next person is sort of funny, but kind of appropriate. In many ways, I am Loki.

When former President Bill Clinton spoke at the Democratic National Convention, he argued that we must put aside ideologies to "get things done.'" The implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA) is challenging Republican governors on exactly this point, and their responses are not uniform. Jan Brewer, governor of Arizona outspoken critic of President Obama and the ACA, has begun planning for, and implementing the healthcare exchanges that states must create under the rules of the legislation. States that fail to plan for exchanges will have exchanges created for them by the federal government. Six states with Republican governors have decided not to create exchanges, and may also not accept additional money from the federal government to expand Medicaid coverage along the lines set out by the ACA.
Is this just politics as usual, or is there an ethical dimension to this partisan debate? I would argue that to fight against Obamacare to the detriment of the health of a state's citizens—the poorest of the states citizens—is a violation of a politician's duty to beneficence. Uninsured patients suffer a preventable harm from the lack of access to healthcare, a harm that is now being remediated by the ACA, but only if only states will fully implement its policies.

Beautiful grounds but rooms need updatingPosted Aug 22, 2014
The hotel is set in beautiful grounds and the entrance is very stylish. However the room I stayed in was tired looking with wallpaper patched over, finishings in the bathroom were poor and metals starting to rust. The staff were all very pleasant but it was not worth the £150 per night charge.

beautiful stay and setting and beautiful building.Posted Aug 17, 2014
Pros: the setting, the staff and location
Cons: bath room could do with updating, though very clean . would prefer a walk-in shower and a door that locked.
Location: Beautiful location. lots to do nearby, river, windsor castle, legoland
The hotel was very comfortable, and a wonderful place to stay.the staff were extremely helpful, and the room was lovely. the view, grounds and library and sitting rooms rooms are fabulous. the knob on the airconditioning was missing, and this was replaced straight away, but the broken lock on the bathroom door was not fixed during our stay of 3 days. it is a hotel for the able bodied, unless you are on the ground floor. there is no lift and lots of stairs and corridors, which are all charming. there is no walk-in shower, and the bath is quite high to climb in and out of.

Fantastic, beautiful and wanted to move in!Posted Aug 15, 2014
Pros: Staff are brilliant, the grounds are stunning and above all it is very child friendly. Ticked all the boxes for me.
Cons: I didn't spot on the website it had a pool, but could be an over site on my part.
Location: We visited LEGOLAND the day before and a five minute drive into Windsor the following day.
A really beautiful hotel and I cannot wait to visit again.

Attractive country house fronting the ThamesPosted Jul 31, 2014
Pros: Location for Windsor races excellent (5 min taxi, 20 min walk). Always a good welcome. Great facilities - golf, tennis, leisure club
Cons: Redecoration is under way and will just help make it feel a bit fresher
Location: Windsor castle and tourist etc., Windsor races, Burnham Beeches woods, rvier walks and boat trips
Under new ownership, the hotel is currently (July 2014) undergoing some redecoration work to freshen up the look (carpets and painting). The staff are very attentive (concierge team very welcoming) and rooms are comfortable and spacious. Drinks outside were good - lights in the trees and overlooking the river. Breakfast buffet was good and food was kept nice and hot.

Beautiful hotel, great characterPosted Jul 29, 2014
Location: Windsor is three miles away and so this is a quiet retreat but well out of the action or the town.
Great staff and rooms. Wonderful charm in a beautiful setting. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The hotel itself is a little tired and was not worth the expense that this type of premiere property should provide.

Is there a better place to stay in/around London?Posted Jul 14, 2014
Pros: Dinner on the lawn with the Sax player
Cons: refurb the bathrooms and replace the shower curtain with a glass screen (do hotels still use curtains???)
Stunning building and with grounds that I have not seen better. The location is first class, with moorings onto the Thames. I would come again just to experience the evening dinner on the lawn at the side of the river, whilst been serenaded by the talented saxophone player. A fitting end to a great day at Ascot. The room was ample (although the bathroom was showing signs of high traffic). We paid £315 for two nights (Thursday & Friday night), incl breakfast, for a superior double with river view and after the experience of the hotel I would have been happy paying at least another £100.

CharmingPosted Jul 12, 2014
Pros: Grounds, setting, things to do (picnic on the river, bicycles to use), free wi-fi.
Cons: Air conditioning system probably needs to be replaced.
Location: Windsor Castle; Heathrow airport - and was so much better to stay here the evening before our flight instead of the ugly hotel airports!
Charming hotel right on the Thames. Bed was so comfortable, I slept like a baby. The evening was magical, walking around the beautiful grounds, along the river. Reviews are correct about the rooms being too hot - we were in the west wing and it was too warm for my husband. Hint: leave a room key (from ANY hotel - not necessarily your room in this hotel) in the A/C activation unit to cool your room before you return, that would probably help. Also: don't shower/bathe with the door open to the room; this led to the room being too hot as well. The charm of the hotel the comfort of the bed made up for the room being a little too warm, at least for me.

A classic, authentic and well-aged place for tacos near Coyoacán and San Ángel. The place is very modest, full of locals, and fast-serviced. The place to go if visiting town and craving for real Mexican fast food.
La LECHUZA is a well cherished taco joint by locals. Delicious tacos and soups brought to you very hot (teperature). You can see the cooks grilling chorizos, arracheras and the like. Order the chorizo special and squeeze plenty of lime - delicious. You may slip on the greasy floor, but who cares?
Next best thing to eating tacos from street...
I've lived in Mexico for over thirty years, and have eaten tacos at countless restaurants and corner stands. But I just found this taquería and it takes the prize. Their tacos al pastor are unmatched, and their sauces and aguas are delectable. A real find!
I know this place for the last 25 years and it has not changed at all. The place is simple, friendly, and the tacos are among the best in Mexico City. Portions are generous, service is fast and prices are fine.
cheap and tasty traditional mexican cuisine. great sopa azteca!
great tacos!

25 tips to help you dress 10 pounds thinner
Embrace monochrome
Katherine West Slevin is a public-health consultant and freelance writer. She lives in Washington, DC, with her husband and daughter.
Dressing from head-to-toe in one solid color is the simplest way to create the illusion of a more svelte physique. Go in for classic black or an alternate dark shade.
Use color blocking
Consider garments with well-placed color inserts. Dresses with blocks of dark-colored fabric on the outside contrasted with a lighter shade on the inside have a tremendous slimming effect. Think hourglass.
Hit below the knee
Leave the miniskirts in the closet. Dresses and skirts that hit just below the knee are much more flattering and will leave you looking long and lean. Intensify the effect and extend the length of those limbs even more by adding a fabulous pair of pumps.
Incorporate skin-tone pumps
What's the best way to achieve that coveted "legs that go on for miles" look? Skin-tone pumps. These beauties work to extend your legs, creating an overall slimming effect.
Go vertical
Vertical details—whether a pattern floating down your torso or a classic stripe—make you appear smaller in the middle. Incorporate some vertical flair to make your midline look trim. But remember, all stripes are not created equal. Be sure to avoid horizontal stripes that can create the opposite effect, making you look wider.
Pair bright tops with dark bottoms
Dressing thin is all about creating an illusion. Pair bright tops with dark bottoms to conceal problem thighs and hips while drawing attention upward to your winning smile.
Hike it up
Pencil skirts that begin just above your natural waist can help to narrow your midsection and make you appear taller. Choose black to get the maximum effect.
Emphasize your waist
Whether paired with a flirty frock or a long sweater, a belt will help define your waist and create a slimming effect. A belt the same color as your garment can add subtle definition while a thicker belt (not too big) can make a bolder statement.
Add yin to your yang
Contrast loose styles with snugger ones to conceal problem areas while avoiding a frumpy look. If you don a wide-leg pant, pair it with a fitted top. Considering a loose tunic? Try adding a pair of leggings underneath.
Polish your look
Fitted jackets add a sleek and slender element to your style while helping to pull your entire look together. Instead of longer jackets, choose those that stop at your hip to avoid adding extra bulk to your bum.

Lockheed Martin is offering to reduce the price of the C-130J Hercules by stripping out some of the more expensive systems. The U.S.-built airlifter is facing new competition later this decade, when Embraer's yet-to-fly KC-390 becomes available.
C-130J Super Hercules
The U.S. Air Force is terminating the C-130 avionics modernization program (AMP) and culling 286 aircraft from its fleet over the next five years as it restructures to meet budget constraints. At the same time, the service plans a service-life-extension program (SLEP) for 350 F-16s to compensate for delayed deliveries of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
Talks to amend the Airbus A400M development and production contract will drag on into the autumn as the moratorium on funding imposed by the European partner nations continues.
Last month the U.S. Navy completed Phase One testing of a U.S. Marine Corps HC-130J Hercules outfitted with the Harvest Hawk system, which gives the tanker/transports weapons capability. Following initial tests at Patuxent River, Maryland, the HC-130J departed for further tests at China Lake in California, in preparation for an initial deployment to Afghanistan in the summer.
A deal to rescue the troubled Airbus A400M airlifter has been put together. Defense ministers from the European partner nations will meet on Wednesday to approve a reduction in their orders, originally set at 180 aircraft. No more money will be made available to EADS-Airbus, beyond the €20 billion that was agreed to in 2003 to cover the development and production.
At a dramatic new year press conference held beneath the second A400M in the final assembly building in Seville, Spain, the chief executive officers of EADS and Airbus declared that they would stop funding the program at the end of this month.
Airbus Military is increasingly confident about the technical progress of the A400M airlifter, but has refused to comment on the difficult, ongoing negotiations with the European launch nations over cost and timescale.
As negotiations to secure a future for Europe's troubled A400M airlifter continue, the UK government is taking the hardest line with Airbus Military, and moving quickly to secure alternative solutions. At the meeting of defense ministers in Seville, Spain, last month, the UK vetoed a Franco-German proposal to delay a final decision until December.
Lockheed Martin can deliver C-130J military transports to the nations affected by the A400M debacle within 36 months, on a sale or lease basis. Longer-term, LM continues to study an "Extra Large" version of the C-130 that could offer the same fuselage cross section as the European airlifter.
Six years ago, the team from Airbus Military promoting the A400M came to the Paris Air Show full of confidence and good intentions. Germany had just confirmed its order for 60, finally launching the program after years of negotiations. Italy and Portugal dropped out, leaving a total requirement of 180 aircraft for six European countries (seven, if you count Luxembourg taking one aircraft).

The Department of Psychiatry, Cornell University Medical College, and The New York Hospital, Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic.
In contrast with the accepted definition and efficacy of coma insulin therapy, the status of subcoma therapy is still not clear. From 1942 to 1952, subcoma insulin therapy at the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic was considered to be that which produced a hypoglycemia sufficient to cause clouded consciousness lasting 45-60 minutes, but stopping short of coma. It has been used in the treatment of 212 patients during this period. There was improvement in 79.7% of 133 schizophrenic patients, and in 76.9% of 26 patients with affective illnesses. It appears that, in the treatment of certain psychopathologic reactions which occur in schizophrenic and less frequently in manic and depressed patients, subcoma insulin is a useful form of therapy. The psychopathologic reactions which are affected favorably by this treatment are catatonic excitements with marked fear, depression, or elation; acute paranoid reactions with fear, incoherence, elation, or depression; schizophrenic episodes of excessive anxiety; manic excitements with marked anger or sexual excitement; and panic phases in depressive illnesses. Catatonic stupors with marked fear reacted favorably. It should be emphasized that, while many distressing symptoms can be controlled or relieved by insulin, the underlying illness is not necessarily altered.

How is data quality monitored?
Data quality is essential to ensuring that study data is reliable and complete in order to accurately assess the safety and effectiveness of an experimental therapy. This often requires input from experts on developing data collection forms and systems, performing data quality audits and preparing data monitoring reports. Monitoring of studies is described in more detail in "Data and Safety Monitoring Plans" in which different levels of monitoring are discussed from monitoring by the PI and IRB to formal monitoring boards.
In some cases, a Data Coordinating Center ( DCC ) will be an integral part of a project especially in multi-center and Network programs. For those projects without a designated DCC, investigators must carefully consider who will prepare reports for a Data Monitoring Committee (DMC), Data and Safety Monitoring Board ( DSMB ) or Observational Monitoring Board ( OSMB ), whether these are appointed by NHLBI or not.
Sample reports may be found on the University of Wisconsin's Statistical Data Analysis Center website. You must judge the suitability of the samples to your specific project.

In between its eye sockets there´s a powerful flashlight, the ubiquitous magnifying lens, and a feature that seldom is seen on goggles - two boxes with earphones, for an included MP3 Player, which I also customized to become Steampunk-ified. :) Should anyone wish to reach me, you can find me easily enough on Facebook - Hermes Terceiro, and through my album on Picasa - https://picasaweb.google.com/104388716333540145204/UmPoucoDoQueJaFiz To all, my fondest regards.
