First Trimester Maternal Screen
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Multiple marker serum screening has become a standard tool used in obstetric care to identify pregnancies that may have an increased risk for certain birth defects such as Down syndrome and trisomy 18. Second-trimester multiple marker screening has been well established for over a decade. During 2002 through 2006, first-trimester screening has been established as an alternative option of equal or better performance compared with the best second-trimester screening programs.
The first-trimester screen is performed by measuring analytes in maternal serum that are produced by the fetus and the placenta. Additionally, the nuchal translucency (NT) measurement is a sonographic marker shown to be effective in screening fetuses for Down syndrome. A mathematical model is used to calculate a risk estimate by combining the analyte values, NT measurement, and maternal demographic information. The laboratory establishes a specific cutoff for each condition, which classifies each screen as either screen-positive or screen-negative. A screen-positive result indicates that the value obtained exceeds the established cutoff. A positive screen does not provide a diagnosis, but indicates that further evaluation should be considered.
Serum Analytes
Human chorionic gonadotropin (total beta-hCG):
hCG is a glycoprotein consisting of alpha and beta subunits. hCG is synthesized by placental cells starting very early in pregnancy and serves to maintain the corpus luteum and, hence, progesterone production during the first trimester. Thereafter, the concentration of hCG begins to fall as the placenta begins to produce steroid hormones and the role of the corpus luteum in maintaining pregnancy diminishes. Increased total hCG levels are associated with an increased risk for Down syndrome.
Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A):
PAPP-A is a 187 kDA protein comprised of 4 subunits: 2 PAPP-A subunits and 2 pro-major basic protein (proMBP) subunits. PAPP-A is a metalloproteinase that cleaves insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-4 (IGFBP-4), dramatically reducing IGFBP-4 affinity for IGF1 and IGF2, thereby regulating the availability of these growth factors at the tissue level. PAPP-A is highly expressed in first-trimester trophoblasts, participating in regulation of fetal growth. Levels in maternal serum increase throughout pregnancy. Low PAPP-A levels before the 14th week of gestation are associated with an increased risk for Down syndrome and trisomy 18.
Nuchal translucency (NT):
The NT measurement, an ultrasound marker, is obtained by measuring the fluid-filled space within the nuchal region (back of the neck) of the fetus. While fetal NT measurements obtained by ultrasonography increase in normal pregnancies with advancing gestational age, Down syndrome fetuses have larger NT measurements than gestational age-matched normal fetuses. Increased fetal NT measurements can therefore serve as an indicator of an increased risk for Down syndrome.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Prenatal screening for Down syndrome (nuchal translucency, pregnancy-associated plasma protein A, human chorionic gonadotropin) and trisomy 18 (nuchal translucency, pregnancy-associated plasma protein A, human chorionic gonadotropin)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A screen-negative result indicates that the calculated screen risk is below the established cutoff of 1/230 for Down syndrome and 1/100 for trisomy 18. A negative screen does not guarantee the absence of trisomy 18 or Down syndrome. Screen-negative results typically do not warrant further evaluation.
When a Down syndrome risk cutoff of 1/230 is used for follow-up, the combination of maternal age, pregnancy-associated plasma protein A, human chorionic gonadotropin, and nuchal translucency has an overall detection rate of approximately 85% with a false-positive rate of 5% to 10%. In practice, both the detection rate and false-positive rate increase with age, thus detection and positive rates will vary depending on the age distribution of the screening population.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Upon receiving maternal serum screening results, all information used in the risk calculation should be reviewed for accuracy (eg, maternal date of birth, demographics, sonographic information). If any information is incorrect, the laboratory should be contacted for a recalculation of the estimated risks.
The use of these markers to screen for Down syndrome or trisomy 18 is not an approved Food and Drug Administration procedure.
This test does not screen for neural tube defects. If risk assessment for neural tube defects is desired, collect specimen between 15 weeks, 0 days and 22 weeks, 6 days for an AFP single marker screen, MAFP / Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), Single Marker Screen, Maternal, Serum.
QUAD screening (QUAD / Quad Screen [Second Trimester] Maternal, Serum) is not recommended following first-trimester screening.
Variables Affecting Marker Levels:
-All serum marker multiple of medians are adjusted for maternal weight (to account for dilution effects in heavier mothers). The estimated risk calculations and screen results are dependent on accurate information for gestation, maternal age, and weight. Inaccurate information can lead to significant alterations in the estimated risk.
-A screen-negative result does not guarantee the absence of fetal defects. A screen-positive result does not provide a diagnosis, but indicates that further diagnostic testing should be considered (an unaffected fetus may have screen-positive result for unknown reasons). In fact, given the low prevalence of Down syndrome, the majority of women with a positive screen will not have a Down syndrome fetus.
-In twin pregnancies, the risk for Down syndrome is approximated, using twin-adjusted medians. A specific risk for trisomy 18 cannot be calculated; therefore, results for trisomy 18 are reported as either screen-negative or screen-positive. Risks for triplets and higher multiples cannot be calculated.
-Each center offering maternal serum screening to patients should establish a standard screening protocol, which provides pre- and post-screening education and appropriate follow-up for screen-positive results.
-Nuchal translucency (NT) measurements must be obtained from a trained and certified sonographer. NT quality indicators will be monitored on a regular basis. Institutions will be contacted if there is ongoing deviation in the quality indicators.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Calculated screen risks <1/230 are reported as screen negative.
Risks > or =1/230 are reported as screen positive.
Calculated screen risks <1/100 are reported as screen negative.
Risks > or =1/100 are reported as screen positive. A numeric risk for trisomy 18 risk is provided with positive results on non-diabetic, non-twin pregnancies.
An interpretive report will be provided.

En español | It can all begin with the Lincoln test: if you see the top of Abe's head when you place a penny upside down into the tread of a tire, it's time to go tire shopping. The passage of time, or damage and flaking on the sides of the tires, can also signal the need.
It can end up costing a pretty penny — usually $500 to $800 for a set of four.
Yet the majority of shoppers do no research before buying tires, according to Consumer Reports. So if you're among them, get smart and follow these tips to make the most of your money — and tires.
1. Get the right size. A tire's size is listed on its sidewalls in a sequence such as P265/70R16. Replacement tires should always match what's noted in your owner's manual or car door jamb, not necessarily what's currently on your vehicle.
2. Age matters, even with "new" tires. Tires naturally deteriorate over time, faster in hot climates. A tire's "birthday" is noted as a four-digit number following a letter sequence beginning with DOT, indicating the week and year it was manufactured — 5009, for instance, means the 50th week of 2009.
Vehicle manufacturers recommend you replace tires after six years, no matter what their condition. Since some shops stock old tires, check the age code to make sure you're not being sold ones that are already several years old and well on their way to needing replacement.
3. Learn the lingo. "All-season" tires are a popular and wise choice for most drivers. But think those called "high-performance" or "ultra high-performance" are better? Think again. Tire performance means ability to handle well at higher speeds, not lifespan. Any tire with "high-performance" in its name will likely wear out quicker.
4. Think twice about warranty. Manufacturers often tout mileage warranties — typically between 50,000 to 80,000 miles, depending on tire type. The mechanic whom I use, however, says, "In truth, drivers never get that kind of mileage from their tires. And the heavier the vehicle, the less you should expect — no matter how well you drive."
Before buying based on mileage warranties, know the fine-print details: If tires wear out prematurely, you don't just get a new set for free. There's a prorated credit for replacements, and for that, you'll likely be expected to prove you properly cared for the tires by keeping them inflated to the right pressure, aligned and rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. There may be a careful inspection and demand for service records before warranties are honored.

The illustrated Typeface Anatomy Terminology poster published here was submitted and published on the last edition of the Portuguese conference on Typography, held in Aveiro: http://entipografia.web.ua.pt/ (here's the direct link to the poster: http://entipografia.web.ua.pt/atas/Poster_ENT_1.pdf).
It can be summarized as a comprehensive illustrated glossary of typeface anatomy terms in current use.
Created to serve as a learning resource to help students develop their type design skills progressively, it proposes a classification of the terms into six different categories: C1 Measurements (and Proportions), C2 Shapes; C3 Strokes; C4 Details; C5 Properties; C6 Terminals.
Although mainly in Portuguese (the aim of the original work was to present a comprehensive glossary in Portuguese), it provides an illustration and the English version of the terms in the poster (in order to help clarify). It will also include (in a future version) a short summary of each definition.
It's part of a series of posters that are being developed and, as a result of the feedback already obtained, we're further synthesizing this one – some entries are to be removed (like 62 and 63 above, the direction of shading), others still need to be added (like italic, oblique, condensed, expanded). We're also expanding the language translations. We've identified a basic set of important French and Spanish references, and we're currently translating it into these languages. But we need help in obtaining seminal references and translating the terms into German, Dutch and Italian.
We expect to present and draft paper proposal of this terminology in the forthcoming Portuguese International Typography Conference – III Encontro de Tipografia – to be held in Porto, next October 2012: http://www.esmae-ipp.pt/3et/
Here's a rough translation and slight upgrade of the poster's dissertation into English. If you can or want to help, please send me an e-mail, or write a comment!
This paper presents a typeface anatomy terminology, aimed specifically to cover the current digital typeface production universe. It is still a work in progress, which involves the analysis, collection, and synthesis of the definitions found in current literature references. It aims to contribute to the definition, stabilization and to the update of the terms used today, trying to fulfil the need for a comprehensive student's Typeface Design (TD) manual.
On the first hand, it aims to identify all the possible terms relating to the anatomy of digital type, so they can be understood and used by the different stakeholders in the current technological design and production environment. On the second hand, it aims to reduce the ambiguity of the existing terminology, which results from the legacy of the movable type technology. This terminology is part of an on-going project consisting of four anatomical glossaries: Typeface, Text Shape, Page Layout , and Book.
Methodology and preliminary analysis
Up until now, we've analysed a sample of 26 references in two languages (Portuguese and English) chosen for different criteria:
- Historical relevance (Bringhurst, 2001; Lawson, Agner, 1990; Loxley, 2005; Mclean, 1996);
- Technical explanations (Cheng, 2006; Fontshop, 2010; Santos, 2007; Sousa, 2002; Tracy, 1986);
- Academic guidance (Ambrose, Harris, 2006; Craig, 2006; Earls, 2002; Kane, 2002; Kunz, 2002; Lupton, 2010; Pflughaupt, 2007; Willen, Strals, 2009);
- [Portuguese] Language context (Cunha, 2009; Ferrand, Bicker, 2000; Heitlinger, 2010; Lessa, 2004; Meurer, 2009; Vilela, 1998)
- Comprehensiveness (38pages, 2010; Naseem, 2011; Rosendorf, 2009).
To date, we've identified a total of 710 term entries in the above-mentioned literature. The definitions and illustrations of the entries were checked in order to compare and synthesize a list of 90 unique terms (T). Representing two thirds of analysis (66.7%), the English references have an average number of terms (25.3) similar to the average number of terms in the Portuguese references (25.1). However, references with more than 25 unique entries are higher in English (33%) than in Portuguese (25%). Regarding the average frequency of each reference found in the references (N), we observed the predominance of English (75.9%) compared to the Portuguese (24.1%). As can be seen in Figure 1, some terms such as Taper (47), or Ink Trap (54), have no Portuguese version. We suspect this is the same in other languages, as digital type has evolved predominantly in English. Others, such as Aperture (15), or Stem (42) have different versions, or use, given the ambiguous relationship between the movable metal type and digital technologies. This terminology was first developed in both languages to avoid misunderstandings and to identify the gaps existing in specific languages. The English language was used as a template slate because current font production technology is mainly available in English, and because the most comprehensive references are more easily accessible (see the Conclusion and Future Work section).
For the more ambiguous anatomy parts (such as overshoot and overhang), this terminology proposes new terms, or the consolidation of the current digital ones (specially in the Portuguese language), based on literature review and technical translations. It is intended to contribute to the definition of simple, unique and accurate terms, easy to relate to the current font production technology and type design. Ultimately, this terminology aims to contribute to a terminology simple to understand and that can maintain its relationship with the history of typeface development.
Conclusion and Future Work
Despite being a work in progress, this analysis allowed us to identify some inaccuracies and add new entries to the terminology in Portuguese. This fact seems to confirm the absence of a widespread practice, or of an out-of-date education in Portugal. Although Type Designers and Teachers like Dino dos Santos, Ricardo dos Santos and Joana Correia da Silva are providing a solid base of education, good Portuguese education manuals are still lacking in our country. We owe much to the translations and to the neologisms incorporated into the current Design practice. On the one hand, this is not a bad thing by itself, much by the contrary – it helps us broaden our education horizons. But, on the other hand, it undervalues the old and existing terms used in the last decades of movable metal technology. And it potentially severs the links to our cultural heritage and national identity values. So it's urgent to rescue and build a design practice lexicon.
Nevertheless, this work is still under development:
- The illustrations will be complemented with their textual definitions in order to avoid misinterpretations. And enhanced with complementary examples to better illustrate the terminology;
- More Portuguese references will have to be identified, especially from authors of historical importance as Joaquim dos Anjos, or Manuel Pedro;
- Entries in languages such as Spanish and French will be added and cross-referenced as well as English ones. We have already identified a sample of important references in Spanish such as De Buen, Scaglione, Meseguer, Henestrosa and Sesma, and in French, such as Porchez and Munch. Further references will be identified and added. These are mandatory to include in this study as they are closer to our Portuguese roots and might share a common root or influence each other.
- German and Dutch references are also mandatory to include in this glossary, but we will need the help from native speaker designers and researchers to identify references and authors like Unger, Spiekermann, Kupferschmid, Middendorp, Pohlen, Blokland and other of professional and academic relevance.
As many of the peer assessments have noticed, it is also necessary to cross reference important international education references as Haslam or Noordzij, check further technical references as Felici, Adobe, or Microsoft and FontLab.
Finally, it is necessary to validate the terms list with a community of national and international experts, such as ATypI and SoTA members, and international Type Designers. As a list, or a glossary of current Typeface Design practice, this work is expected to be under constant update and evaluation.

Hi guys,
I've been doing some more work on the outdoor setting with renovations drawing closer to an end.
now have 2x one seaters/side tables, and just finished the 6 seater table today.
materials are 50x50x1.6mm stainless steel square tube, fully tigged and blended, with 90x19mm jarrah hardwood decking slats screwed directly onto angle bar supports, which are tacked to the frame.
now i have to get working on some 2 seater benches to go with it and it will be a complete set for the new patio.
on a side note, i've just ordered a makita lc1230 dry cutting chop saw with an 80T blade. i'm very keen to see how it goes on the thin wall stainless tubing i use- i reckon it's going to save me lots of time and give me more accurate cuts than my bandsaw can with it's bent and twisted cutting bed

I love this recipe. I am married to an Italian (green card Italian, not Mamma Leoni from Brooklyn Italian), and he is always impressed when I make this dish. The almonds are a special touch and it always helps to have fresh fresh fresh ingredients. My kids don't like peppers as a general rule so I never intended to make it for them. It looks like there's cream added to the sauce because of the creamy pink color. Great way to fool those die-hards who refuse to eat anything that is 100% vegetarian.
Really not great

Very good! I couldn't follow this recipe exactly because my food processor was uncooperative. Unable to puree the vegetables, I just tossed them with the other ingredients with wonderful results. This is designed to be served hot, but cold leftovers the following day were delicious.
The sauce really is tasty, although I would be inclined to add more garlic, cayenne pepper and balsamic vinegar that it asks for because I found it a bit bland.
I read most of the reviews on this...it came up as recipe of the day...I saw some ..well most say 'bland' and had ideas to spice it up...adding more onion was one idea ...garlic powder...well I left all the ingredients alone for one...adding more garlic cloves...total of 4...and I did take the suggestion of one reviewer of the red peppers...so I roasted my two peppers and let them rest in a closed container so they could cool/ steam before I chopped them...Also ...as the recipe said to puree all...I only roughly chopped my veggies...why do the work of a machine...one big change too was I added my spices while cooking my onions...and I can tell you my sauce is anything but bland...it has a big kick at the end....I think this is a good veg head recipe and if you add sausage or chicken it can fit anyone...thanks!:-)
Totally LOVED this recipe, as with my husband and 8yr old son. Plates were polished cleaned with this recipe! All I added that was different was an extra tsp of vinegar instead of the suggested. I also didn't have fresh Parmesan so I used fresh Asiago instead. True, it wasn't very 'saucy' but I don't particularly like pasta that's dripping with sauce. This was just the right amount of sauce for my taste. This dish will remain in my kitchen!
Added half of a cup of almonds instead of 1/4 cup, used around 8 oz of pasta, added double the garlic, 6 ounces of olive oil, 1/2 cup of cheese, triple the pepper, and around 3 ounces of milk at the end. Was wonderful!
I agree with the other reviewers who thought the sauce needed more flavor. I used altogether 1 t. salt, and added 1 t. oregano, and it was very good. I also used half the amount of pasta, and added a can of white beans for more protein. It ended up being delicious!

10:11 p.m. The State Department has just tweeted that any remaining U.S. citizens wanting to leave Egypt on a government flight "should report to airport immediately. Further delay is not advisable."
10:08 p.m. CNN correspondent Ben Wedeman said on Anderson Cooper 360 there is "nothing to stop" the pro-Mubarak demonstrators, and that more violence and bloodshed should be expected throughout Thursday. Wedeman was speaking with Cooper in a sheltered location with minimal lighting. Cooper said a normal broadcast could not be done because of the threat of violence in the area.
9:50 p.m. With dawn approaching in Cairo, CNN is reporting that "heavy" gunfire continues to be heard in Tahrir Square, and Al Arabiya TV is reporting that one protester has been killed in the pre-dawn hours by government supporters.
6:51 p.m. CNN is reporting on gunfire and explosions in Cairo's Tahrir Square where anti-government and pro-Mubarak supporters clashed today.
6:27 p.m. Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., called on Wednesday night for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to step down. In a statement, he said:
"The rapidly deteriorating situation in Egypt leads me to the conclusion that President Mubarak needs to step down and relinquish power. It is clear that the only institution in Egypt that can restore order is the army, but I fear that for it to do so on behalf of a government led by or involving President Mubarak would only escalate the violence and compromise the army's legitimacy. I urge President Mubarak to transfer power to a caretaker administration that includes members of Egypt's military, government, civil society, and pro-democracy opposition, which can lead the country to free, fair, and internationally credible elections this year as part of a real transition to democracy.
"All Americans should be appreciative of President Mubarak's long record of cooperation with our government, which has helped to fight terrorism and promote peace and security in the Middle East and North Africa. I remain concerned about the role of the Muslim Brotherhood and other organizations in Egypt that espouse an extremist ideology. But Egypt must have a democratic future. It is the will of the Egyptian people. It is in the interest of the United States. And the greatest contribution that President Mubarak can make to the cause of democracy in his country is to remove himself from power."
6:00 p.m. CNN reports more than 600 people have been hurt in riots in Cairo.
5:26 p.m. The State Department just issued a release on the status of U.S. citizen evacuations from Egypt. An excerpt:
"The welfare and safety of U.S. citizens in Egypt remains one of the State Department's top priorities. More than 1,900 U.S. citizens and their family members have been evacuated from Egypt in an operation that began on Monday, January 31. We plan to continue evacuation efforts on Thursday, February 3, and are assessing the need to continue flights after that.
"We continue with our efforts to assist any U.S. citizens who wish to leave Egypt and are boarding additional flights today. As curfew has been eased by three hours, we expect more U.S. citizens will be able to reach the Cairo airport.
"Although non-emergency personnel at our Embassy are leaving Egypt under ordered departure status, the Department continues to send personnel into Cairo and to our safe haven locations to assist U.S. citizens. The Embassy remains open for U.S. citizen services only during non-curfew hours.
"The most up-to-date information for U.S. citizens in Egypt can be found on our website Travel.State.Gov."
4:47 p.m. Pro-Mubarak protesters have begun to retreat from Cairo's Tahrir Square after their anti-government rivals charged at them with metal shields, The Jerusalem Post reports.
4:35 p.m. Now openly defying U.S. guidance, how Mubarak chooses to proceed is no longer within Obama's realm of influence, argues National Journal's Michael Hirsh.
4:30 p.m. Crowley says the ongoing crisis in Egypt "is very different than situations we confront with other countries... If we need to make adjustments based on what the government does, we will do so." He goes on to cite U.S. relations with North Korea as an example: "In the context of our assistance where we provide food aid to North Korea, if we are concerned that food aid is being diverted from the North Korean people to the government, we are prepared to cut off aid."
4:24 p.m. Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs P.J. Crowley, fielding questions from a somewhat hostile media forum in Washington, says to those demanding an explicit denunciation of Mubarak: "We are having a full range of conversations... The issue here is not a lack of communication; we are making clear privately and publicly what needs to be done. We are not subscribing what Egypt needs to do. President Mubarak has committed to a transition, but now is the time the government needs to take concrete steps to demonstrate that it is moving down a path of... democratic governance, of governance that responds to the aspirations of the Egyptian people."
Asked if Mubarak feels betrayed by the United States, Crowley says "no." Pressed for more information regarding current Egyptian sentiment toward the United States, he borrows a line from Cool Hand Luke: "Hang on a second... there is no failure to communicate here."
4:05 p.m. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., via Twitter: "Regrettably the time has come 4 Pres. Mubarak 2 step down & relinquish power. It's in the best interest of Egypt, its people & its military."
3:14 p.m. Egypt's health ministry tells Egypt's official Mena news agency that 611 people have been injured in Wednesday's violence.
3:01 p.m. Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen said the "significant challenges" of the last few days showcase the relationship between civilian leadership and military support. "There is no... better example of that right now," he said.
"I appreciate... in a very difficult situation, the strength of that leadership and the conviction of that leadership. And obviously, we are, from a military standpoint, here to support," Mullen said alongside Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at a Global Chiefs of Mission Conference luncheon today.
"It hasn't just been a $1.3 billion investment in Egypt over the last 30 years," he continued. "It hasn't just been dollars, and it hasn't just been a military investment in their armed services, which have been a critical part. It has been an investment on the part of the United States that goes back, actually, a long way, even further back than 30 years in terms of the relationship -- the historic relationship we've had with a country. And so this part of it -- to see it gel and to see it focus in this very, very difficult time -- is a wonderful example."
2:59 p.m. Demonstrations in solidarity with Egypt are hitting the West Bank, where around 200 people are demonstrating in Ramallah, tweets activist group RamallahNow.
2:54 p.m. The takeaway from today's White House briefing:
The No. 1 message coming out of the White House is that the violence in Egypt must stop. At the same time, the U.S. is putting a lot of pressure on President Hosni Mubarak to begin his transition out of power now -- or as Gibbs said, "now is yesterday." But they still aren't taking the step of actually telling him he must leave today -- just that the transition must begin. The White House does see its military-to-military contacts as having helped promote restraint.
As in previous briefings, Gibbs stonewalled on questions about the role of Islamic fundamentalism in the region. He did say that the U.S. would like to maintain a relationship with whatever new government comes into power. But he also called on that hypothetical government to respect treaties that the previous government had affirmed, in a clear allusion to Egypt's peace treaty with Israel that has helped promote stability in the region for decades. Egypt is "a country that has played an invaluable role in providing stability to a volatile region in the world," he said.
2:50 p.m. Al Jazeera reports that people are afraid to leave the crowded Tahrir Square because of the danger on surrounding streets.
2:45 p.m. Al Jazeera reports gasoline bombs being thrown from rooftops and a stream of ambulances entering the Square to pick up injured people. The military has continued telling people to return to their homes. And newly appointed Vice President Omar Suleiman has also called for the protesters to go home.
2:29 p.m. National Journal's Clifford Marks writes that a running survey about "well-being" suggests that non-economic factors may be driving the turmoil in Egypt and Tunisia. The well-being metric in both countries has plummeted in the past few years, according to recent Gallup polling.
The proportion of Egyptians who identified themselves as "thriving" has fallen by more than half, from 25 percent in 2007 to just 11 percent last year. Tunisians reported a similar drop in satisfaction, with the share of those who were "thriving" plunging from 24 percent in 2008 to 14 percent in 2010.
The declines in well-being came despite steady national increases in GDP per capita, which has long been considered a valuable, though imperfect, indicator of happiness.
Over the past five years, per capita income in both Egypt and Tunisia rose by roughly a third. Yet in Tunisia, all income groups reported a decline in well-being since 2008. The same happened in Egypt since 2005, with only the richest 20 percent reporting that their sense of well-being had increased. "Gallup's global wellbeing metrics make clear that leaders cannot assume that the lives of those in their countries would improve in tandem with rising GDP," the firm said in a posting on its website.
The surveys found wide variation in well-being among Middle Eastern nations. Egypt and Tunisia were both near the bottom, but Morocco, Yemen, Iraq, the Palestinian Territories, and Libya all had fewer than 15 percent of adults who thought of themselves as "thriving." Countries such as Saudi Arabia (43 percent) and Jordan (30 percent) fared better.

Goodafternoon, everyone!
So, I was recently sent a handful of 7024's from a buddy of mine, and aside from the 1/8" electrodes that have shown up in a few videos, he also sent out a couple of "baseball bat" 3/16" electrodes...
Annnd, I just had to try em' out
I cranked up the Precision Tig, and used them on DCEP, DCEN, and A/C, on triple-fillet welds and a groove weld with a backing strip. Man was it awesome!
They're thicker and longer than 1/8" rods, but aside from the amperage increase, and slightly more "awkwardness", they're the same concept. Anyway, I made a video about my adventures, and just thought I'd share it:
Hope y'all enjoy it... Have a nice day, everyone!
(Fun fact: Since posting this video on YouTube, someone else offered me a few 1/4" 7018's. I'll make a video about that in the near future)

I'm playing through Jade Regent as a cavalier/samurai, and we had this exact discussion about my mount, the warhorse Akumu. I contended that it should be able to count as a guard, as it's trained for war and better at it than your average level 1 Varisian goon, and my GM agreed, given that it also consumes supplies and takes a "slot" of our caravan. You can see our caravan wagon and staffing disposition in detail in our PDF session summary from when we formed it.

Twitter users were already throwing around the word "Nazi" plenty before Germany-U.S. kicked off, but how about during the game? To find out, from 11:35 a.m. to 2:03 p.m. we recorded tweets and retweets that contained the word "Nazi" or "Nazis" (not case sensitive). We pulled 30,209 in total, or 3.4 "Nazi"s per second.
The chart above shows when these tweets occurred, broken into 15-second bins. There's definitely some baseline "Nazi" usage in here, and plenty of meta commentary, too, but the spike at Germany's goal—when "Nazi" topped 20 tweets per second—speaks for itself. Smaller spikes can be seen when Jones collided with the ref ...

Thanks to computermacgyver, whose Github-hosted tweet scraper we used for this project.

Llamar Miller is the only skill player I am excited about. Egnew, Cunningham, and Matthews...just players, no stars.
Kaddo, might be one of tjose gems that Ireland digs up each year. I hope so.
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
I liked the Miller pick. I think he lets us flex Bush out on 3rd down and still gives us a homerun threat out of the backfield. We can create a lot of mismatches with those two..if they are utilized correctly. And thats of course if Miller can stay on the field...but given Thomas and Bush will get the bulk of the carries I think he has a good chance to do so.
Didn't know about randall or kaddu. Martin plays off balance and lacks punch. Egnew can't block. Miller is great in the open field and on stretch and sweep plays, but won't be asked to go north and south between tackles which will be daniel thomas' role. I love Cunningham and Matthews.
JETS draft Robert Griffin 6 rounds later
the other thing is we now have a log jam at rb...bush messam thomas and now miller...maybe this means that they'll get smart and take some of that load off of bush cause if they don't he'll be on ir...

Jenson Button has blamed Kimi Raikkonen for his failure to make it into Q3 in Korea, saying the Lotus driver held him up...
Jenson Button has blamed Kimi Raikkonen for his failure to make it into Q3 in Korea, saying the Lotus driver held him up.
Putting in his final flying lap at the Korean International Circuit, Button came up behind Raikkonen and lost valuable time behind the Finn.
The McLaren driver eventually crossed the line with a 1:38.365 which was only good enough for 12th place.
"On my fastest lap, I lost a tenth and a half behind Kimi in Turns 11 and 12," Button said.
"It's quite frustrating: they're pretty quick corners, and, when you're that close to the car in front, it damages your lap. It's difficult - because most of those corners are blind - but we've all got radios, so we should all know where other drivers are.
"It's a pity: without that delay, I'm pretty sure I would've qualified inside the top 10."
The Brit, though, insists all is not lost as he hopes to make up ground and finish inside the points on Sunday. He will also start the race from 11th on the grid due to Mark Webber's penalty.
"Still, there are positives for tomorrow - we've got new tyres for the race; Turns One, Three and Four are always very interesting on the first lap; and we've got interesting straightline-speed compared to our rivals - both in terms of ratios and downforce levels - so the first couple of laps should be really interesting for us.
"Hopefully, we can go forwards tomorrow."

Sebastian Vettel has downplayed his car issues in Abu Dhabi on Saturday even though Red Bull have yet to establish the cause...
Sebastian Vettel has downplayed his car issues in Abu Dhabi on Saturday even though Red Bull have yet to establish the cause.
Having claimed third on the grid at the Yas Marina circuit, Vettel failed to make it back to the pits, stopping his RB8 on the side of the track.
"I don't know why I had to stop, I was asked to stop," said the German. "It was probably some problem but it shouldn't be something major."
His team boss Christian Horner was also in the dark as to the reason but did reveal that the order to park had come from engine suppliers Renault.
"I'm not quite sure at the moment," Horner told Sky Sports.
"We've got an issue and Renault asked us to stop the car and that's what we did. Until I get more info I can't really say much more. It could be one of many, many things."
The qualifying problem, though, was not Vettel's only issue of the day as he also missed the bulk of final practice with a brake issues.
But despite having just six minutes on track prior to qualifying, Vettel was quickly on the pace, finishing third quickest with a 1:41.073.
"Obviously this morning wasn't ideal - not being able to run - and we didn't get the answers we were hoping for," said the reigning World Champ.
"Nevertheless, we were settling in quite well this afternoon and the pace was there, but McLaren, and in particular Lewis, are pretty quick so they were out of reach today.
"I'm not entirely happy with my qualifying and the last part of qualifying was quite tricky for me so I think I should have been a little bit quicker.
"Whether it would have been enough to beat Mark is obviously on a different sheet of paper, but all in all we can be quite happy."
Looking ahead to Sunday's Abu Dhabi GP, the Championship leader is expecting a strong showing.
"My race pace should be good tomorrow and as we know it's a long race here and a lot of things can happen."

We would like to suggest a path for the future development of Visual Basic 6 (VB6) and VBA that helps Microsoft align its long-term strategies with those of its customers.
This path will also help Microsoft reconnect with the Visual Basic developer community and continue support for the Office developer community.
We ask that Microsoft further develop VB6 and VBA, in order to meet these objectives (in order of perceived importance):
1. Preservation of assets
Future versions of VB6/VBA should:
- Use existing VB6/VBA projects without extensive conversion;
- Support the core VB6/VBA Visual Basic language and syntax;
- Compile existing projects and produce identical results.
2. Continued support for the Visual Basic language
Microsoft should demonstrate a commitment to the core Visual Basic language. This core should be enhanced and extended, and changes should follow a documented deprecation process.
3. Ease of migration of unmanaged VB/VBA code to VB.NET
The decisions of if, how, and when to migrate code to .NET should lie with the customer. Some may choose to remain with unmanaged VB, especially for legacy code bases. Some will use only VB.NET, others a mix. A future version of VB6/VBA should treat all these options as valid, while making it easy to move among them.
We believe the best way to meet these objectives is for Microsoft to include an updated version of VB6 inside the Visual Studio IDE. For brevity we'll call this update "VB.COM".
VB.COM should use the same keywords, syntax and types as VB6, remain COM-based, and compile to native code. Visual Studio would then support both unmanaged VB.COM and managed VB.NET, as it now supports both [unmanaged] C++ and [managed] C#.
With both VBs in the same IDE, it should be possible to extend the development environment to provide a high degree of interoperation between them. That will allow the developer to use both in the same solution, with the interop handled seamlessly by the framework.
By providing a new version of a COM-based Visual Basic within the Visual Studio IDE, Microsoft will help maintain the value of its clients' existing code, demonstrate its ongoing commitment to the core Visual Basic language, and greatly simplify the adoption of VB.NET by those that wish to do so.
This mirrors the approach taken for the C language and enhances the viability of VB.NET while preserving customers' assets. By continuing development of both managed and unmanaged Visual Basic, Microsoft will demonstrate their commitment to their entire developer community.

I'm fourteen and in eighth grade. I just got my first box of Claravis today and my dermatologist prescribed me 80mg/day, two 40mg pills at the same time. I have severe nodular/cystic acne and it hasn't responded to Spironolactone, Monodox (Doxycycline, and although it did keep my acne from breaking out, it did not clear anything up after taking it for nine months), Tetracycline, Minocycline, or Clindamycin. I used the following topicals as well (mostly some at the same time as above antibiotics, but some weren't): Aczone Retin-A, Epiduo, Differin, Tazorac: this did somewhat dry me out, but never fixed anything even after using it twice a day for a month; Ziana: I CANNOT STAND IT. I had to use it for 7 months and it never worked, and they gooeyness was barely tolerable; Duac, and several benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid OTC creams/products. My friends always ask me why I don't use one of these Proactive things, which I have, and don't work. I'll post some pictures to show you:
I have the worst acne in the grade. What do you think of my dosage, and what should I do about side effects? I feel so young to be on the drug, but it's last resort. Thanks
It might also help to know I'm 5'6.5" and 125 lbs.

It will be a struggle at first but you could potentially never have to deal with acne again. Don't give up. It will get better You will probably go into high school confident and acne free!
Edited by James9, 20 November 2012 - 03:23 PM.
Posted 24 November 2012 - 07:26 PM
I'm on 80 mg/day and my acne is actually not as bad as yours. I'm confused why I was even put on 80 mg/day because it seems waaay too high but, I guess we'll see. Feel free to check out my blog of my journey!
Posted 06 December 2012 - 08:29 PM
That dosage sounds way too high for your weight to me and to be honest your acne looks moderate not severe. If I were you I would ask to at lest start off on 40mg and work your way up to 60 or 80. I'm staying at 40 my whole course and I weigh 120
Posted 06 December 2012 - 08:47 PM
I know people with acne way worse than yours, don't worry! That doesnt look bad at all. Good luck!
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Tonya Rehmeyer is bringing a statewide campaign to Creston.
On April 20, local families, friends and supporters will take part in the first annual Autism Society of Iowa's statewide Autism Awareness 5k Run/Walk. The 5k is aimed at bringing awareness and support to individuals affected by autism.
Why it's important
For parents of an autistic child, every day is a challenge. Autism causes perplexing behaviors, including tantrums or repetitive behaviors, and makes communication difficult.
Autism Speaks, a national nonprofit, claims one in 88 children are diagnosed with autism and, on average, one child is diagnosed every 11 minutes.
Living with autism
Rehmeyer knows all too well the impact autism has on a family.
As the mother of 5-year-old Kahne, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 1/2, Rehmeyer said the experience has been exhausting and rewarding at the same time.
For Rehmeyer, her mission is to educate others about autism.
"The biggest challenge is getting people to understand," said Rehmeyer. "It (the 5k) is about getting the awareness out. Getting people to understand that my kid's not throwing a fit because he's not getting what he wants. He's trying to express what he wants. He's trying to communicate."
At home
Once Kahne was diagnosed, Rehmeyer and her husband Daniel were able to work with local resources to help him.
"He goes to a special education class," Rehmeyer said. "He's gaining a few more words every day. He makes more eye contact now. He's very affectionate. Like hugs and kisses and has very few melt downs."
Rehmeyer said she and her husband try to use the same techniques on Kahne at home that are used by his teachers in the classroom for "repetition and reinforcement."
"Daniel has been my rock through all this," said Rehmeyer. "He is learning, as well. It has been a learning process for both of us."
Rehmeyer said her older son Drake, who is in first grade, is very understanding of Kahne.
"I always tell people, there is a light at the end of the tunnel," said Rehmeyer. "It might not always seem bright, but the littlest things make it just glow."
Rehmeyer recalled the time Kahne called her "mom" for the first time.
"He was 4," said Rehmeyer. "He didn't just say the word, he looked at me and said it. Knowing me as mom, it was like the whole world had been lifted from my shoulders. It's the little things like that, which are incredible."
The Rehmeyers have set goals for Kahne, who is making great progress.
"We just had to rewrite his goals because he's already met and bypassed the goals we had set for him," said Rehmeyer.
Rehmeyer said Kahne played "patty cake" for the first time last year.
"Just getting him to imitate was a huge milestone," said Rehmeyer.
She said the experience has taught her patience.
"It's not in the mom's manual, let me tell you" she said.
The Winborns
Evan Winborn's family has experienced similar struggles.
Like Rehmeyer, Creston City Councilman Loyal Winborn said consistency is important in treatment of autism.
Winborn said his son, 10, "has periods of learning and unlearning." He said Evan will make great strides learning over the school year; however, when summer vacation rolls around, Evan regresses if he is not consistently exposed to a learning environment. To keep Evan stimulated, Loyal takes Evan to the library and keeps him active in activities in the community.
"It was difficult to find daycare for Evan when he was young because of his needs," said Winborn.
However, as Evan made progress, he was able to participate in more traditional classrooms.
"It changes year to year," said Winborn. "Some teachers are open to it, others can't handle it or just don't have the training for it."
Winborn said the effects of autism are frustrating to Evan.
"He is self-conscious," said Winborn. "It causes him to have panic attacks."
According to Winborn, Evan experiences outbursts on occasion, which cause him to rock back and forth or slap his own arms, which are common actions of individuals with autism.
Winborn believes his son's autism was a result of receiving vaccinations at 6 months old.
"It's controversial, but I saw it with my own eyes," said Winborn.
Winborn said his son reacted to the vaccinations with seizures and a fever over 103 degrees.
Before Evan was diagnosed with autism at 1 year old, Winborn said it was labeled as "developmental delays" or "childhood seizures."
While medication is available to treat some symptoms of autism, Winborn said he chose to treat Evan without them.
One way Evan is battling autism is through "relational therapy." This type of therapy is a family-based behavioral treatment, which helps an individual with autism think flexibly, appreciate different perspectives, cope with change and integrate information from multiple sources such as sights and sounds.
"He (Evan) does not have any pain or headaches," said Winborn. "And until he can communicate how he's feeling —I am just afraid of over-medicating him."
Winborn said his wife Staci helps greatly in balancing the care of Evan and his brother Xander, 9. Staci will spend time with one of the boys, while Winborn spends one-on-one time with the other.
How you can help
With the help of Michelle Hicks from Creston's Area Education Agency (AEA), Rehmeyer was able to bring the 5k to Creston.
Registrations are now being accepted for the Autism Society of Iowa 's inaugural statewide Autism Awareness 5k Run/Walk.
Creston participants may register at http://autismia.org by clicking on "Creston" or by calling Kris Steinmetz at (515) 327-9075.
Everyone is welcome to walk at no cost. However, for those who include $20 per participant with their registration will receive a T-shirt and one raffle ticket. The raffle is for a mini trampoline and indoor/outdoor water table donated by Walmart. There will also be items for sale including autism awareness magnets and keychains and puzzle piece cookies made by Kustom Kakery.
Registration will begin 2:30 p.m. April 20 in room 124 of the performing arts center at Southwestern Community College and the 5k will begin at 3 p.m.
For more information on The Autism Society of Iowa's statewide Autism Awareness 5k Run/Walk, please call (515) 327-9075 or visit http://autismia.org.
The fundraiser will include a raffle of a mini trampoline and indoor/outdoor water table donated by Walmart, sale of autism awareness magnets and keychains, and puzzle piece cookies made by Kustom Kakery.

Crash for Cash - Ebay auction - Worthing Boys' Club UK
Hey there ANers, here's something you might find interesting.
I was asked through my personal art blog if I would contribute something from Crash Bandicoot for a fund raiser for the Worthing Boys' Club in the UK.
I had a few color copies of a marker rendered drawing I did of Crash back in 1999 and offered it for that purpose, signed and dated April 2013. This was created for the child of a close friend. I made a color copy of it back then for my own reference. Since that time I've used copies of this as gifts when fans ask me for something from Crash.
It was placed on Ebay recently with a starting bid of .99 British pounds. Yesterday it went up to 5.5 pounds. Now it's at 16 pounds which equates to 24.39 US dollars. Not bad for an overnight jump!
There's 3 days left to the auction. If you'd like to participate follow this link to Crash Bandicoot on Ebay.
There are very few pictures of Crash Bandicoot bearing my signature. I haven't done much fan art at all over the years so this is a rare item. You're welcome to help the Worthing Boys' Club through this auction. They've been around since 1936 and operate entirely upon contributions.
Re: Crash for Cash - Ebay auction - Worthing Boys' Club UK
This was a 5 day auction on Ebay that just wrapped up a few minutes ago. I was wondering what the value of a signed Crash print would be and now I know.
There was a flurry of last minute activity with 26 bids in all from 11 bidders.
It sold for 44.60 pounds which comes to $68.92 US.
Looks like the auction was successful and the Worthing Boys' Club has some extra cash in their pocket.
Here's the final results on Ebay.
Re: Crash for Cash - Ebay auction - Worthing Boys' Club UK
Here's a surprise! A signed print of Spyro the Dragon was auctioned on Ebay at the same time as the Crash print and did even better.
Wound up at 77 pounds which comes out to $119.21 US.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121098282086? ... 1555.l2649
Re: Crash for Cash - Ebay auction - Worthing Boys' Club UK
Well, now I have a good idea as to what my art can market for. Six color xerox copies, three of Crash and three of Spyro, auctioned on Ebay cumulatively for $418.11 US. That's 274.60 BPS (British pound sterling) since it was conducted from the UK.
Cost less than a dollar each to produce!
Thank you Worthing Boys' Club for finding this out! Glad it was successful for you!
Re: Crash for Cash - Ebay auction - Worthing Boys' Club UK
thats awesome bro! Congrats!
Re: Crash for Cash - Ebay auction - Worthing Boys' Club UK
Thank you brother.
Here's an even happier ending to the happy ending on the Crash and Spyro art print auction on Ebay.

Not only is Rosine's Alex Taylor a writer and a college instructor, he's a PUBLISHED author and me and my family couldn't be more proud.
For as long as I can remember, Alex was writing stories. I would go in his room and see piles of notebook paper with his signature barely legible writing on the front and back of each page

Afternoon Lecture
A Place that Matters Yet: South Africa's MuseumAfrica in the Postcolonial World
In this lecture, Dr. Sara Byala, Critical Writing Program, University of Pennsylvania and author of A Place That Matters Yet, argues that MuseumAfrica (formerly the Africana Museum) retains its relevance in postcolonial Johannesburg despite its current reputation as an outmoded colonial space. By reimagining the museum as an archive—both of material culture and of ideas about material culture—in the eras before, during, and after apartheid, Dr. Byala tells a little-known story while discussing a method for reanimating colonial institutions in general. Sponsored by the Penn Cultural Heritage Center. Free admission.

'Willem de Looper: All That Jazz...' Opening Reception
Atrium Gallery proudly announces an upcoming exhibition featuring important paintings from the last decades of Willem de Looper's career. "Willem de Looper: All That Jazz..." with works from the 80s and 90s, will feature a selection of the best remaining paintings from that imp0ortant period of this international artist's work. Music, and jazz in particular, was a pervasive influence in de Looper's painting and this exhibition pays homage to that connection. Willem de Looper, a Dutch-born artist who spent his adult life in the U.S., carried with him his Northern European influence and was also associated with the Washington Color School in the 60s and early 70s. However, he soon developed his own distinct identity which continued to characterize his work. His paintings have been included in many of the most prestigious museum and private collections and exhibited in the U.S. and abroad. The exhibition will open November 22 and run through January 17, 2014.
