Poll shows boost for Ben McAdams in tight race for S.L. County mayor
Laura Seitz, Deseret News
Copyright 2012 Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake County mayoral hopeful Ben McAdams has inched ahead of Republican Mark Crockett in a race that's still too close to call, a new Deseret News/KSL poll shows.
The Dan Jones and Associates poll released Friday has McAdams ahead by three points, with 44 percent of voters surveyed indicating they likely will cast their ballots for the Democrat. Another 41 percent said they likely will vote for Crockett.
McAdams' three-point lead falls within the plus or minus 4.3 percent margin of error, indicating the race will go down to the wire.
The poll of 523 registered voters in Salt Lake County was conducted between Oct. 26 and Nov. 1. Thirty-seven percent of those surveyed said they already had cast their ballots through early voting or mail-in ballots.
The new poll numbers are a reversal of a Deseret News/KSL poll in September that showed McAdams trailing by three points. The amount of undecided voters has dropped as the election nears, with 12 percent of voters saying they haven't made up their minds compared with September's 21 percent.
Pollster Dan Jones said the final moments of the race between Crockett and McAdams will be "a real donnybrook" that will be decided in a ground war.
"It will come down to which campaign is the most organized, is out knocking doors and gets people moving," Jones said.
While Salt Lake County is more likely to elect a Democrat, Jones predicted McAdams will have to secure a large number of split tickets to overcome the Republican momentum coming from GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
"It wouldn't be this close if it wasn't for Romney," he said. "For Ben to win, there's got to be lot of split-ticket voting. He's got to get some independents and some Republicans to offset the number of Republicans in the county."
McAdams said he is confident he can secure those split-ticket votes.
"What I'm honored to see is that many of these people that are excited about Mitt Romney are excited to vote for me," he said. "We've got a lot of crossover support, and I think we're going to be able to pull this off."
As the race has gone on, Crockett has gained name recognition and prominence, Jones said. The Republican is sure to see a boost from Romney supporters, with 45 percent of voters polled saying chances are high they will vote straight ticket.
Of those likely to vote straight ticket, 58 percent reported they vote Republican.
Crockett said he thinks the race has evened out as hype from the Republican primary has worn off.
"We started out 15 points up just because people knew us," Crockett said. "As people tuned into the race, we knew that it would tighten."
The McAdams campaign released an internal poll Friday showing the Democrat with a four-point lead over his opponent. Crockett said his internal poll has consistently shown he is a "handful of points" ahead of McAdams.
A current state senator and senior executive adviser in Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker's office, McAdams has long championed his bipartisan attitude and ability to work with all parties in order to get things done.
McAdams said he brings a private-sector perspective to government, and Friday's poll numbers attest to his campaign's steady progress.
"Hard work pays off," McAdams said. "We have been out at every community gathering and throughout this county. … I think my message is resonating with voters, and I'm proud of the work we've done."
The Democrat has outraised and outspent his opponent throughout the race. Highlights of his platform include education, cutting the county's operational costs and facilitating cooperation between county entities.
Crockett is a one-term member of the Salt Lake County Council from 2005 to 2008. He is currently the managing director of his Utah-based consulting company, Vici Capital Partners.
The focus of Crockett's campaign has been reducing county spending while improving vital human services. He agreed the race will be close, coming down to Election Day turnout.
The Republican said his business acumen and experience have made him an attractive candidate to voters.
"People do resonate with business experience and the county being, not a business, but a large and complicated organization," Crockett said. "I think we understand by watching Washington the last several years that this is time for us to change our approach to government."

In 1975, Violet Mkhitaryan first began concocting skin products in her native Armenia. She cracked open old books to mine eastern European recipes for inspiration, and when she wasn't whisking oils and herbs into face-rejuvenating salves, she was running spas. Over the following decades, Violet helmed spas in Armenia and Moscow, all while earning degrees in aesthetics and biochemistry, and finally staked her claim in Boston. Violet's products have appeared not only on customers' faces but in numerous press outlets, including the pages of Martha Stewart's Whole Living and the Improper Bostonian, which called her line the city's best local beauty products. She makes her lauded serums surrounded by glass jugs, dried flower petals, and everything nice in a lab that the Boston Globe described as resembling a pastry chef's kitchen. At her spa's two locations, she beautifies her clients with facials and body treatments celebrated by Every Day with Rachel Ray.1362 Beacon StreetBrookline, MA US

Disney World Planning Challenges: Managing Your Disney Evening
So you've had a great day at Disney World! What should you do next? Follow up that great day with a fantastic evening, of course.
Whether you have a full-fledged touring plan in mind or decide to focus on more subdued activities during your evening, Disney World offers plenty of choices. This article highlights specific tips and looks at TouringPlans.com tools and information that can help make your evening a success.
An Evening in the Parks
Making a smooth transition from a day to an evening in Disney World will keep your vacation fun on track. Maybe you are just starting your vacation and planning some park time on the night of your arrival day. Or you have taken a resort break and plan to return to the parks later. Maybe you have taken the day off from the theme parks with plans to go into a park at night. Or you are extending a day already in the parks into the evening.
In all of these cases, when planning for some park time at night, it's important to consider factors such as what time to depart for the parks, how to get to there, whether to plan activities in advance, and—finally—when you may want to plan on heading back to your hotel. A bit of strategic planning can help you get to the fun as soon as possible.
Getting Off to a Good Start. One of the best ways to avoid feeling rushed when starting off your evening is to avoid the temptation to plan for only the most optimistic conditions in terms of timing. Instead, if it's your arrival day, be sure to build in some extra time for getting to the World from the airport and checking into your hotel. My family generally expects to get from the airport to a park in 2.5 to 3 hours when stopping at our resort first.
If you have already started your vacation, be sure to leave time for the kids to have a last minute snack or take a final dip in the pool during an afternoon break.

Top Five Ways to End Your Day at Disneyland Park
In recent weeks, I've shared some my favorite ways to begin my day at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, as well as top picks for finishing a DCA visit, and even places to pause at mid-day around the Resort.
Today, I'm concluding this series with a look at the best options for ending your evening at Disneyland Park. While Disneyland is magical at any time of day, there is something particularly special about those final hours before closing at the original Magic Kingdom. Any one of the following activities (or combination thereof) should guarantee a fitting finale to your day at the Happiest Place on Earth.
Fireworks and Fantasmic!
No one does explosive spectaculars better than Disney, and there is no better one-two punch among theme park pageants than Disneyland's fireworks and Fantasmic! Whether the show is Remeber…Dreams Come True, Magical, or one of the special seasonal displays, Disneyland's pyrotechnics are not-to-be-missed. And Disneyland's Fantasmic! is the ultimate assemblage of animated characters, action stunts, and enormous animatronics. On nights when both shows are performed,first watch the fireworks from the hub near Frontierland, the head immediately towards the river for a seat. Alternatively, stake out a spot early for Fantasmic and you'll still have a fine view of the overhead sky bursts (though not effects on the castle or Tinker Bell's flight).

I currently live in Midwest City (Oklahoma City), Oklahoma, USA. I am retired from the US Air Force and applying for a Pensioner Visa to Ecuador. I plan on living in Cuenca and will be using this time to find a apartment or maybe a house and learning my way around town. For twenty years, I was in the Air Force and the next ten years was spent in Law Enforcement for the State of Texas. I do not smoke or use drugs and am a social drinker (maybe 4 beers a week). I enjoy nature and spring which is why I decided on Cuenca. It's usually green, is close to a national park with hiking and has a beautiful river running thur town plus as I enjoy healthy (email hidden)e fresh vegetable and fruit markets are a big deal for me (I used to visit them often when I lived in Asia). I hope to find a good Spanish school where I can improve my Spanish and look forward to traveling Ecuador and enjoying the waterfalls, birds, etc.
Even if I find a apartment prior to 31 May 2012, I still intend and agree to pay until 31 May 2012.

In Which Mark Twain Perspires
July 20, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
A letter from Mark Twain to John T. Moore, July 1859. Moore, also known as Tom, was an "old river man" and a longtime friend of Twain's. More than twenty years later, in 1883, this note appeared in The Arkansas Traveler and was afterward reproduced by papers nationwide—a few weeks later, though, the Traveler's editor, Opie Read, claimed it was a hoax, thus casting doubt on its authenticity. Today most Twain scholars believe it to be genuine, suggesting that the notion of a hoax was, itself, a hoax.
Memphis, July 6, 1859.
My Dear John:—
I have made many attempts to answer your letter which received a warmth of welcome perspiringly in keeping with the present system of hot weather; but somehow I have failed. Now, however, I screw myself down to the pleasant task. It is a task, let me tell you, and it is only by the courtesy of friendship that I can call it pleasant. Read More »
Twain Trove, and Other News
May 5, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- At UC Berkeley, scholars have discovered a cache of stories by Mark Twain, written when he was a twenty-nine-year-old newspaperman in San Francisco. "His topics range from San Francisco police—who at one point attempted, unsuccessfully, to sue Twain for comparing their chief to a dog chasing its tail to impress its mistress—to mining accidents."
- Filmmakers have always struggled in depicting the act of writing. Authors in movies tend to act, all too realistically, like total bores—sitting there, typing, thinking, gazing out windows, et cetera. But it is possible to make good films about writing. One of them is Joachim Trier's Reprise, which "recognizes that much of the stuff of writing and literary circles is, well, talk. And unlike many other such films, it can talk that talk."
- Bellow had a way with similes: "When Professor Ravelstein laughs, he throws his head back 'like Picasso's wounded horse in Guernica' … Eddie Walish has a woodwind laugh 'closer to oboe than to clarinet, and he releases his laugh from the wide end of his nose as well as from his carved pumpkin mouth' … A man with a wooden leg walks 'bending and straightening gracefully like a gondolier.' "
- In the late sixties, the progenitors of land art were "literal groundbreakers"—a new documentary, Troublemakers, tries to rediscover their works, many of which have "succumbed to natural forces."
- Plenty of horror video games borrow from Dracula—but they take only the "shallowest trappings" from Stoker, preferring instead to lean on Lovecraft. A new game, Bloodborne, "offers a backward lens into a particularly strange point in horror history in which the anxieties of a changing world found its way into the monsters and terrors of the genre."
Talk to the Animals, and Other News
April 22, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Larry Kramer, seventy-nine, came of age at a time when being gay was still illegal; his latest opus, The American People, is kind of a novel, kind of not, very long, and very gay: "a history of hate [from] one among the hated." "Most histories are written by straight people who wouldn't know, see the signs that a gay person does when they look at a person's life," he says. "I mean, how could you write the life of Mark Twain without realizing that he was hugely, hugely gay? The way he lived, who his friends were, and how his relationships began. And what he wrote about! I don't know how you could avoid the assumption that he's gay."
- An interview with Atticus Lish, who won our Plimpton Prize this year: "Spoken language is primary, and I want it to be primary. Everything should pass the reading-aloud test; that became a real theme with me before I even was aware of it. I said, 'Don't write like a writer; write like a talker.' "
- But how do you write like a talker if the person talking is an animal? Fiction is still grappling with animal consciousness, with varying degrees of success: it may be largely impossible, as Thomas Nagel wrote in his 1974 essay "What Is It Like To Be a Bat?", reminding us that "acts of sympathetic imagination are fatally restricted by the incalculable difference between human and bat."
- In which Kerry Howley follows two boxers: "Sportswriters talk constantly of 'focus,' 'dedication,' and 'single-mindedness.' It is a measure of this cliché's persistence that, despite the mountains of evidence to the contrary, men still use these words to describe Manny Pacquiao. This is a boxer who sidelines as a working politician and a low-budget-movie star, a man who leads Bible study on Sundays and moonlights as one of the shortest professional basketball players in the Philippines. He has recorded two platinum albums, and a hit single called 'Sometimes When We Touch' …"
- And Chris Offutt pursues "trash food," whatever that may be: "The term 'white trash' is an epithet of bigotry that equates human worth with garbage. It implies a dismissal of the group as stupid, violent, lazy, and untrustworthy—the same negative descriptors of racial minorities, of anyone outside of the mainstream. At every stage of American history, various groups of people have endured such personal attacks. Language is used as a weapon: divisive, cruel, enciphered. Today is no different. For example, here in Mississippi, the term 'Democrats' is code for 'African Americans.' Throughout the U.S.A., 'family values' is code for 'no homosexuals.' The term 'trash food' is not about food, it's coded language for social class. It's about poor people and what they can afford to eat."

The introduction of The Paris Review for Young Readers seems like a good time to think about one of its predecessors: St. Nicholas Magazine, which was published from 1873 to 1940. Though it wasn't the only children's magazine of its time, during its heyday St. Nicholas was generally considered the best—a showcase for fine adult writers and a lab for young ones.
Scribner's, a magazine run by the famous publishing house, approached the successful children's author Mary Mapes Dodge to be St. Nicholas's editor. At its inception, Dodge wrote that her publication would not be just "a milk-and-water variety of the periodicals for adults. In fact, it needs to be stronger, truer, bolder, more uncompromising than the other." She felt that because children spent their days at school, "their heads are strained and taxed with the day's lessons. They do not want to be bothered nor amused nor petted. They just want to have their own way over their own magazine." Read More »
The Best Medicine

If you're not sick, you soon will be, and all the hand sanitizer in the world won't save you. Everyone is a potential foe; no one wants to admit it. This morning on the subway, everyone was coughing and sneezing with varying degrees of discretion. The only people who seemed at all comfortable were two Japanese tourists wearing paper surgical masks. Well, maybe also the old man with a roll of toilet paper hanging around his neck on a loop of string. I envied all of them.
All you can do is read Mark Twain. He wrote "How to Cure a Cold" for the Golden Era shortly after arriving in San Francisco in September 1863. Twain may never have actually said the famous thing about a San Francisco summer being the coldest winter he'd ever known, but the Bay Area fog was presumably enough to aggravate a lingering head cold—well, that or a nineteenth-century cross-country train ride. According to a series of humorous letters to the editor Twain sent in to the Call and the Enterprise around this period, he'd had the cold—and an ensuing bout of bronchitis—for at least a month when he wrote this piece chronicling various home remedies.

Today's Defacement Is Tomorrow's Artifact, and Other News
February 23, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- The FBI kept a file on James Baldwin that ran to 1,884 pages. What was in it? Reasonably adept criticism, among other things: "The mixed bag of memos, letters, and clippings that composed the typical FBI author file included more than espionage reports … It also included outbursts of literary critical prose, a type of writing judgmental in nature, but always indebted to the prior writing it describes. FBI author files thus qualify as recognizable works of literary commentary, as state-subsidized assessments and interpretations quietly warring with those produced by English professors and less stuffy book reviewers."
- A new exhibition at the New York Society Library, "Readers Make Their Mark," collected annotated books from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, thus continuing the culture's growing fascination with marginalia. "Sometimes they are making proclamations about their own books: George Bernard Shaw identifies a printed text of his Too True to be Good as a 'Provisional Prompt Copy' for a particular production and calls it 'Frightfully Private. No Press Agent to be let near it.' And sometimes—as in the case of an early woman reader who judges the characters in Emma, one by one—they respond to their books in ways that still seem familiar."
- "Let's get out of here" is one of the most common lines in film—people in movies just love to leave places. "It confers agency on whoever says it. It draws a line under what's gone before. It propels action. It justifies a change of scene, no matter how abrupt." But in more contemporary movies, "getting out of here" faces stiff competition from its longtime nemesis, "staying put." "This emphasis on staying suits our times: The people writing and watching these movies are all part of an introspective, if not isolationist, culture that's still licking its wounds after plotless wars and a traumatic recession."
- Is there anything more insufferable than our current predilection for all things twee? "Twee is a symptom of profound cultural exhaustion, a pop-cultural response to the death of grand narratives and radical politics: too weary to fight the corporate capitalist machine, the twee instead create hyper-stylized alternative worlds in which kittens play, ukuleles sound and childhood is eternal. Their basic disposition is melancholy rather than angry, and they will always opt for owl-print wallpaper over kicking against the pricks."
- I've always dreamed of winning an Oscar—I could put it up for auction, I thought, and make a lot of money, and that would be cool. But it turns out that selling your Oscar trophy is a great way to get sued by the Academy. In fact, the Academy thrills to a good lawsuit; they've also brought suits against "television shows that use the name 'Oscar' (i.e., 'The Wine Oscars'); a website that predicts Oscar winners; and a chocolate-maker who produced Oscar-shaped candies." Next up: people named Oscar, or people related to those people.

A growing body of evidence supports the concept that changes in the intrauterine milieu during "sensitive" periods of embryonic
development or in infant diet after birth affect the developing individual, resulting in general health alterations later in life.
This phenomenon is referred to as "developmental programming" or "developmental origins of health and disease." The risk
of developing late-onset diseases such as hypertension, chronic kidney disease (CKD), obesity or type 2 diabetes is increased in
infants born prematurely at <37 weeks of gestation or in low birth weight (LBW) infants weighing <2,500g at birth. Both genetic
viduals. A number of observations suggest that susceptibility to subsequent CKD and hypertension in premature or LBW infants is
mediated, at least in part, by reduced nephron endowment. The major factors influencing in utero environment that are associated
with a low final nephron number include uteroplacental insufficiency, maternal low-protein diet, hyperglycemia, vitamin A
deficiency, exposure to or interruption of endogenous glucocorticoids, and ethanol exposure. This paper discusses the effect of
premature birth, LBW, intrauterine milieu, and infant feeding on the development of hypertension and renal disease in later life
as well as examines the role of the kidney in developmental programming of hypertension and CKD.
Despite the availability of a number of treatment options
for hypertension, cardiovascular, and renal disease, the
prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of these diseases in
children and adults remain very high [1]. Therefore, eluci-
dation of the causality and pathogenesis of these diseases is
critical. Studies by Widdowson and McCance in the 1960s
demonstrated that acceleration or retardation of the rate of
growth induced by malnutrition during early postnatal life
in rats led to distinct and different effects on anatomical,
physiological, and chemical development [2]. In the 1980s,
studies by Barker demonstrated that systolic blood pressure
in older children is inversely related to their birth weight [3].
Around the same time, Brenner hypothesized that early
loss of nephron mass results in hyperfiltration of remaining
nephrons leading to subsequent hypertension, proteinuria,
and progressive kidney injury [4]. These and subsequent
studies have provided initial evidence that a suboptimal in
utero environment may predispose or "program" an individ-
ual to an increased risk of developing renal or cardiovascular
disease in later life [5–9]. Although a number of potential
mechanisms underlying developmental origins of disease
have been proposed, a likely feature of many of these mecha-
nisms is interruption of normal kidney morphogenesis
resulting in a reduced number of nephrons and aberrant
development of the kidney vasculature [5]. In this paper,
we discuss biological and molecular mechanisms linking

pre- and postnatal cues with nephron endowment, vascu-
larization of the developing kidney, and programming of
hypertension and renal disease during later life.
2.MajorSteps inMorphologic
Development of the Kidney
Evidence derived from animal models and human studies
has demonstrated that the final number of nephrons can
be decreased by adverse prenatal conditions and predispose
to later kidney disease [6]. New nephron formation during
embryonic kidney development is driven by the branching
ureteric bud (UB) that originates from the nephric duct on
the 5th week of gestation in humans (embryonic day E10.5
in mice) [10]. Throughout its iterative branching, each UB
tip induces nephron progenitors to form nephrons, thus
forming the metanephric kidney [5]. UB itself will form
the renal collecting ducts, calyces, pelvis, and ureter. The
mature human kidney has an average of ∼785,000 (range:
nephrons varies widely in humans, a kidney with a decreased
complement of nephrons may have less renal reserve to
adapt to dietary changes or compensate for renal injury.
Vascularization of the metanephros is synchronized with
epithelial nephrogenesis [12]. In the mouse kidney, the first
arterioles are detected on E15-E16 (mouse gestation is 21
days) [12]. Formation of the metanephros and renal vascu-
larization are directed by multiple gene networks [10, 12].
Aberrant expression or signaling of either the glial cell-
derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)/Ret growth fac-
tor/receptor pair, transcription factors Six2 and Pax2, or the
renin-angiotensin system components are probably involved
in the programming of nephron development [10]. Nephro-
genesis continues until 34–36 weeks of fetal life in humans.
Following acquisition of the full complement of nephrons
between 34 to 36 weeks of gestation in humans, new neph-
rons cannot be formed, and subsequent glomerular devel-
opment occurs via hypertrophy. Notably, faulty metanephric
organogenesis leads to reduced nephron endowment, abnor-
malities in renal vasculature, renal hypoplasia, hypertension,
and congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract
(CAKUT), the major cause of renal failure in children [13].
Despite significant progress in our understanding of mor-
phological events and genetic programs that direct nephro-
genesis, the underlying molecular mechanisms that account
for a decreased final nephron number in response to subop-
timal in utero or perinatal environment and how alterations
in the kidney structure may impact disease risk in later life
areincompletely understood. Below, wediscussdisparities in
nephron endowment in low birth weight (LBW) and prema-
ture infants and explore the link of faulty nephrogenesis with
susceptibility to CKD and hypertension in later life.
3.Roles of LBW andPrematurityin
Kidney Development
3.1. Introduction. LBW (birth weight <2500g) results from
either preterm birth (at <37 weeks of gestation) or intrauter-
ine growth restriction (IUGR). The term "IUGR" is used to
designate a fetus that has not reached its growth potential
used definition of IUGR is a fetus whose estimated weight is
below the 10th percentile for its gestational age (GA). IUGR
results in the birth of an infant who is small for gestational
age (SGA). In the absence of IUGR, preterm or full-term
infants are born appropriate for gestational age (AGA).
Importantly, IUGR is a frequent comorbidity of both pre-
term or term births [14].
3.2. Impact of LBW on Nephrogenesis, Blood Pressure, and
CKD. Animal and human studies have demonstrated the
association of LBW with later reduction in glomerular
number, renal dysfunction, and hypertension. For example,
glomerular number is directly correlated with birth weight,
whereas glomerular volume is inversely correlated with birth
weight in LBW infants [15]. LBW infants have smaller
kidneys and decreased nephron number [16–20]. LBW SGA
infants exhibit a 30–35% reduction in nephron number
and a higher risk for developing hypertension [21–24]. The
observed reduction in nephron endowment is accompanied
by endothelial dysfunction that might be secondary to either
impaired angiogenesis, decreased production, or function of
nitric oxide [23, 24]. In a study of 56 LBW children with
IUGR at 4–6 years of age, systolic and diastolic BP were sig-
nificantly higher compared to the control group [25]. These
observations have been confirmed by other studies [26–28].
In a 2012 meta-analysis, LBW was associated with increased
odds (1.2) for the development of hypertension [29]. The
weight individuals are amplified with age [30]. With regard
to the correlation between LBW and kidney injury, IUGR is
ESRD (1.58), and lower GFR (1.79) [31]. A recent meta-
analysis demonstrates that the risk for developing protein-
uria, decreased kidney function, or ESRD is increased by 81,
79 and 58%, respectively, in LBW neonates [8]. Proteinuria,
common among adults born as LBW infants [31, 32]. Adults
who were born extremely premature and with LBW have
an increased incidence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
(FSGS) with associated proteinuria [33]. These findings are
in agreement with Brenner hypothesis that early loss of
nephron mass results in hyperfiltration of remaining neph-
rons leading to secondary FSGS, proteinuria, and progressive
kidney injury [4, 34, 35]. Unfortunately, it is not possible
to dissociate the effects of prematurity from LBW on the
outcomes observed in this study. A systematic review and
meta-analysis of observational studies by White et al. exam-
ined the association of LBW with the future risk of CKD
[9]. This work assessed 31 cohort and case-control studies
that included data for birth weight and kidney function at
greater than 12 months of age. Significant associations were
uria, and ESRD. This analysis identified a consistent asso-
ciation between LBW and subsequent risk of CKD. Animal
models have also demonstrated the association of LBW
with later hypertension or renal injury. For example, LBW

due to ligation of uterine arteries in the rabbit model is
associated with reduced number of glomeruli in an offspring
[36]. LBW induced by maternal dietary protein restriction
during gestation causes a 28-29% decrease in glomerular
number and a higher blood pressure at 8 weeks of age in
the rat [37]. Restriction of maternal protein intake during
rat pregnancy results in LBW, elevated conscious mean arte-
rial pressure, reduced GFR, decreased number of glomeruli,
glomerulomegaly and no difference the total volume of all
glomeruli in adulthood [38]. Collectively, multiple studies
demonstrate that LBW imparts a high risk of low nephron
endowment and glomerular hypertrophy. To sustain ade-
quate kidney function following completion of nephrogene-
sis, remaining glomeruli will need to undergo compensatory
hypertrophy, an adaptation that may result in an accelerated
loss of functioning nephrons. Resulting decreased filtration
surface area may lead to subsequent hypertension via limita-
tion in renal sodium excretion. In view of a possible causal
relationship between LBW, nephron endowment, hyperten-
sion, and CKD, continued assessment of the mechanisms
associated with fetal life events are warranted to further
define this risk.
3.3. Impact of Prematurity on Nephrogenesis, Blood Pressure,
and CKD. More than 12% of infants in the United States are
born preterm (at <37 weeks of gestation), illustrating that
many neonates enter extrauterine life during active nephro-
genesis [49]. Determination of the effect of prematurity
per se on renal consequences and developmental program-
ming of hypertension and CKD in humans is hampered by
the fact that many premature neonates that exhibit IUGR
have multiple health problems and are exposed to various
medications that may influence nephrogenesis. For example,
acutekidney injury (AKI) is observed in 8%–24% of preterm
neonates [50]. Use of NSAIDs, aminoglycoside antibiotics,
and diuretics have also been shown to potentially hamper
nephrogenesis in prematurely born neonates [51]. An
autopsy study of premature AGA neonates demonstrated
that prematurity alone, without IUGR, is associated with
lower radial glomerular counts (RGCs) compared with full-
with gestational age [39] (Table 1). RGCs in preterm infants
with AKI surviving >40 days were lower than in those
without AKI, whereas glomerular surface area was highest
in preterm neonates without AKI [39]. Thus, nephrogenesis
AKI. In addition, preterm birth results in glomerular hyper-
trophy that may lead to hyperfiltration and subsequent renal
in premature infants does not further increase the risk of
poor renal growth or development of subsequent hyperten-
sion. In this regard, ultrasonography performed at 20 years
of age showed decreased kidney size in individuals born pre-
maturely at <32 weeks of gestation compared with full-term
controls and no difference in kidney size between SGA and
AGA individuals [40]. Thus, either IUGR had no effect on
renal size in premature individuals or the lack of significant
differences might be due to insufficient power of this study.
In contrast, a study by Drougia et al. reported that kidney
length (adjusted for body weight and surface area) is reduced
in children who were born premature and SGA compared
with those who were premature and AGA [18]. Premature
ment in kidney growth with age at 18 months of age [20]. Of
prematureSGA than prematureAGA infants, suggesting that
19 years of age was increased in premature neonates born at
<32 weeks of gestation, but this was not apparently related
to the extent of IUGR [43]. Similar observations were made
by Singhal et al. showing that blood pressure measured at 15
years of age did not differ among full-term, preterm AGA,
or preterm SGA (with IUGR) individuals [44]. However,
endothelial-dependent vasodilation was reduced in preterm
SGA compared with preterm AGA or full-term individuals.
These results do not support the hypothesis that prematurity
a large Swedish study reported an inverse association of
systolic blood pressure measured at 18 years of age with GA
alone or with GA adjusted for birth weight (IUGR), but not
with birth length adjusted for GA [45]. The inverse associa-
tion of GA with blood pressure was larger when adjusted for
birth weight, suggesting that IUGR might further increase
the risk of subsequent hypertension in premature infants.
The authors proposed that the rate of accretion of fetal soft
tissue mass rather than of linear bone growth is associated
with programming of elevated blood pressure. Kistner et al.
reported that systolic ambulatory blood pressure was higher
in adult woman born preterm AGA compared with either
term AGA or term SGA [46]. Mean blood pressure and
brachioradial artery pulse wave velocity, and hence arterial
stiffness, were higher in premature SGA compared with pre-
mature AGA or term AGA infants when measured at 8 ± 1.7
years of age [47]. The discrepancies in findings among these
studies may relate to differences in methodologies used to
measure blood pressure. Overall, available evidence indicates
that reduced nephron endowment after premature birth
does not necessarily result in hypertension later in life. It is
conceivable that elevated blood pressure may ensue only
when the functional reserve of remaining nephrons is
depleted below certain threshold.
A lower GFR and a higher prevalence of microalbumin-
uria were observed in SGA compared with AGA premature
infants born at <32 weeks of gestation, suggesting that the
presence of IUGR might further increase the risk of progres-
In accord with these findings, GFR measured by inulin clear-
ance at mean age of 7.6 years in children was lower in SGA
compared with AGA premature individuals [48]. However,
urine albumin/creatinine ratio or blood pressure did not
differ. Studies in nonhuman primates demonstrate that pre-
maturity without IUGR can cause abnormal kidney devel-
opment [42]. Preterm baboons delivered at 125 (term = 185)
days of gestation were studied after 21 days of extrauterine
life and compared to GA-matched controls delivered and

studied at 146 (125 + 21) days of gestation. Kidneys of pre-
term baboons were larger, had decreased glomerular density,
enlarged glomeruli, a cystic Bowman's space, and shrunken
glomerular tuft, whereas the number of glomerular genera-
tions and total glomerular number did not differ [42]. The
proportion of abnormal glomeruli ranged from 0.2 to 18%,
suggesting that preterm birth may not adversely impact kid-
ney development equally. Since premature baboons received
antibiotics after birth (gentamicin and ampicillin), it is con-
ceivable that the glomerular changes observed in this group
resulted from antibiotic-induced nephrotoxicity. Because
kidney development in nonprimate experimental models
differs from that of primates (e.g., nephrogenesis continues
postnatally in the mouse or rat), observations made in this
study are more relevant for human disease. Indeed, preterm
infants also have a higher percentage of enlarged glomeruli
compared with stillborn gestational controls [41]. However,
there was no difference in kidney or body weight at autopsy
between SGA and AGA infants. This may be due to catch-
up growth of the kidney postnatally after preterm birth in
SGA neonates or to an insufficient power of the study due
to a small number of preterm SGA infants (6 of 28). In addi-
tion, the width of the nephrogenic zone was lower in pre-
term than gestational control infants, implying a decreased
capacity to form new nephrons in extrauterine environment
[41]. Stillborn SGA infants or liveborn SGA infants who
died within a year of birth had fewer nephrons than control
stillborn AGA infants or control AGA neonates who died
within a year of birth, respectively [22]. These findings sug-
number. Experimental study in mice demonstrated that
premature delivery at 1-2 days prior to term birth caused a
20% decrease in glomerular number and resulted in elevated
blood pressure, a lower measured GFR, and higher urine
albumin/creatinine ratio at 5 weeks of age compared to full-
term controls [35]. Since these effects of prematurity cannot
be explained by unfavorable intrauterine conditions, it is
to premature termination of nephrogenesis by depriving the
developing kidney from maternal factors essential for kidney
development. Some observational studies in humans seem
to agree with this possibility [39, 41, 45]. Collectively, these
observations suggest that: (1) preterm kidneys may have
fewer functional nephrons, thereby increasing vulnerability
to impaired renal function in both the early postnatal period
and later in life and (2) compensatory mechanisms in sur-
viving preterm infants include glomerular hypertrophy that
could lead to hyperfiltration. Overall, association of prema-
turity alone without IUGR with later kidney dysfunction
or hypertension in children is subtle and requires further
3.4. Can Programmed Hypertension Be Dissociated from
Reduced Nephron Number? Even though the combination of
Barker and Brenner hypotheses offers an explanation for the
association of a reduced nephron number with hypertension
and renal disease, no definitive proof has been found that
low nephron endowment per se causes increased risk for
hypertension or renal injury. Moreover, some animal studies
demonstrate that reduced nephron number per se does not
appear to mediate development of later hypertension. In a
study by Hoppe et al., nephron number as well as conscious
mean arterial pressure was reduced on postnatal day 135
in rats born to mothers fed a low-protein isocaloric diet
throughout gestation and postnatally compared to rats fed
a normal protein diet [16]. The authors proposed that the
apparent blood pressure-lowering effect of life-long dietary
protein restriction may be due to effects mediated during the
postnatal period. Although the nature of postnatal factors
sure remains to be elucidated, one potential mechanism may
involve a shift in the pressure natriuresis relation towards
lower mean arterial pressure. Because nephrogenesis contin-
ues postnatally in the rat, Wlodek et al. [52] hypothesized
that nephron endowment and blood pressure of male
ulated by altering the postnatal (lactational) environment by
cross-fostering. Uteroplacental insufficiency, created by liga-
tion of uterine arteries on gestational day 18 (of 21), resulted
in impaired mammary gland function, a twofold reduction
in litter size, neutropenia, and adult hypertension. Cross-
fostering of these newborn pups onto mothers with normal
lactation prevented the nephron deficit and hypertension
[52]. In contrast, pups born to mothers without ligation of

Three "Must Haves" for a Social Media Policy. As social media use grows in leaps and bounds, CEOs and HR departments everywhere instinctively cringe at the potential time employees could waste perusing Facebook or retweeting on Twitter.
This can't be a productive use of work time, or can it? And if social media use is allowed in the work place, how much is too much? No matter the industry, social media is being accessed all around us. As a result, every company must inevitably establish a social media policy. Now where to begin? Positive Presentation. Clear Expectations. Social Networking for Business. Updated April 25, 2011 12:01 a.m.
ET To recognize the huge potential social networking offers for companies looking to improve knowledge sharing and collaboration among their employees, consider these two facts: • About half of company knowledge-management initiatives stagnate or fail. • There are about 131 million U.S. Facebook users between the ages of 18 and 64, and more than 500 million world-wide. That's more than half a billion people using the same kinds of tools so many companies have struggled to put to productive use. In other words, employees already have the skills for more collaboration. Have employees identify areas that would benefit from greater collaboration. Best Practices for Engaging With Consumers Through Social Media. Established rules of communicating with customers are unraveling, driven by a shift in how we use the Internet.
Emails and corporate websites are fast being replaced by Facebook and Twitter, where customers and employees alike have been liberated from the control of marketing and customer-service reps. While many companies embrace the opportunities in these new two-way communications tools, social media brings a host of new problems, such as how to measure communications and keep employees on message—and in legal compliance. So, new rules are emerging. 5 Tips for Recruiting College Students via Social Media. Dan Klamm is the outreach and marketing coordinator at Syracuse University Career Services.
Connect with him on Twitter @DanKlamm. More and more companies are recognizing the value of social media in building their employer brand in the minds of college students. From the Department of State (@DOScareers) to Google (@GoogleStudents) to MTV (@MTVNetworksJobs), organizations across many industries are taking to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and blogs to enhance their image and build a pipeline of talent from college campuses.
Some companies instinctively "get it. " 10 Considerations When Creating a Social Media Policy. More and more companies are adopting the Nike philosophy of 'Just Do It' when it comes to social media.
And while there is value in jumping in the water, companies and organizations are increasingly seeing the need for a social media policy that will help employees understand how these tools should be used on behalf of their employer. If your company or organization is considering creating a formal social media policy, here are 10 areas to consider: 1 – Defining what 'Social Media' is to your business. You can ask 10 different people what the term 'social media' means, and gets 10 different definitions.
HOW TO: Optimize Your LinkedIn Company Profile for Recruiting. This post originally appeared on the American Express OPEN Forum, where Mashable regularly contributes articles about leveraging social media and technology in small business.
LinkedIn offers companies the ability to provide more information about their organization via their company pages. On a company page, you can include information about your products and services along with information about job opportunities. This is a relatively new feature, relaunched back in November 2010. Several Fortune 500 companies were part of the launch of this new feature including Dell, Eastman Kodak, JetBlue and Microsoft. But company pages are not exclusive to only large businesses — Harvard Business School, Rypple, Squarespace and other well-known, successful organizations have LinkedIn company pages.
Since one of the primary purposes of LinkedIn is career networking, it only seems logical to make sure your company profile is being leveraged as much for recruiting as it is for marketing. The Rules of Social Media Engagement Brian Solis. InShare1,645 A study published in 2010 surfaced a startling statistic, "75 percent of employers say their business has no formal policy instructing employees on the appropriate use of social networking sites on the job."
The report, "Employer Perspectives on Social Networking," compiled data from 34,000 businesses in 35 countries. Why Your Employees Should Be on Social Media Sites. If you're like many business owners or managers, you may hesitate to allow your employees to participate on social media sites.
What if they spend hours on Facebook instead of working? And what if they say bad things about the company? You may think that the risks outweigh the benefits. Actually, your biggest assets are your employees. If you make them part of your social media presence, they can help build your fan base and their activity may strengthen company loyalty. Have a policy: If you don't want your staff uploading personal photos all morning, set some ground rules.
According to the OpenDNS 2010 Report, 14.2 percent of companies blacklist Facebook, while only 1.2 percent blacklist Playboy and Pornhub. Connect: Authored by: Untitled.

Missing Sunderland boy found safeJanuary 28,2014SUNDERLAND - Zachary Lee, a 12-year-old boy who was the subject of an Amber Alert issued on Monday was found alive and well around 11:30 p.m. on Monday in a New Hampshire hotel. His biological mother was taken into custody for questioning, police said.
Lee was reported missing from his foster home on North Road in Sunderland on Monday, at around 4:45 p.m., when he did not arrive home from school after being dropped off by the bus.
An Amber Alert was issued around 8:35 p.m. and numerous law enforcement officials participated in the search.
In a press release, the Vermont State Police said they got word around 10:30 p.m. on Monday that Lee had been seen in the company of his biological mother, Patricia Kane, 49, and his sister, Martha Lee, 17, at a restaurant in Hanover, N.H. Law enforcement officers ultimately located the three at a hotel in Lyme, N.H.
Kane, was taken into custody without incident for questioning about the disappearance of her son. Charges may be forthcoming stemming from the investigation being conducted by the Vermont State Police and in conjunction with the Bennington County State's Attorney's Office.
In earlier press releases, police said Lee had been recently repatriated from France. They said they were concerned because of his age and because he had only been in the Sunderland area since Jan. 14 so he was not familiar with Southern Vermont.
At the time, Kane was a suspect in Lee's disappearance.
"This is based on a documented history of such attempts while the child was in the custody of the Republic of France," police said in a press release.
Police said staff with the Vermont Department of Children and Families, as well as school employees, had reported that Kane had been "highly unstable and volatile" since Lee arrived in the U.S.
"All treatment team members have been working together to help safeguard against possible attempts to abscond with him," police said.
In the press release, the Vermont State Police extended "their sincere appreciation for the help of countless law enforcement agencies, private citizens and the press in the dissemination of information and efforts in locating Zachary."MORE IN This Just In

We stayed April, 2015 Easter Holydays week at LIBÉLULA HOUSE (Nosara, Costa Rica). We were a family group of 7 adults and 6 children. The house is well located at a Nosara hill, with beautiful sea views. It has 5 bedrooms and could have one or two more if the building should not been interrupted.
