We are posting materials in relation to the Marin County District Attorney's public announcement.
Marin History Museum's current Board of Directors has worked tirelessly to preserve and protect the treasures of Marin's history, including the monetization of less than 1% of our Collections to protect the greater Collections that are presently housed in the Craemer Family Collections & Research Facility in Novato, California. Attached is documentation of what was released, sold and returned to the Marin History Museum.
We continue to seek a professional, respectable, preservation-oriented, Marin- and family-based group who is positioned to bring the Museum to the next level of sustainability.
Our hope is that our strong commitment to the Museum's mission to collect, preserve intact and share Marin's history will quell any negative community concerns that have been shared in the spirit of sensationalism.
Your interest, support and ongoing collaboration are welcome and appreciated.
Marin History Museum Board of Directors

June 11, 2015. The Marin County District Attorney has recently requested that the Marin History Museum provide copies of its records dating back to over a decade ago.
The Museum Board of Directors remarks as follows:
The District Attorney is requesting documents which the Museum is more than happy to locate and provide. It is consistent with the information we have been providing to the California Attorney General.
Producing all of these documents is a perfect means to provide the true facts and clarify the actual history of the Museum's activities as opposed to all of the speculation
circulating in the community.
Most of the documents in the request are from many years prior to when the present board was elected and were under the direction and management of prior boards and Museum staff.
Board of Directors

May 28, 2015
As a result of our earlier announcement of our intention to dissolve the Marin History Museum, the Board of Directors has received an outpouring of support. 7 groups have expressed interest in participating in the Museum's future – including cultural organizations and museums. One group that has not been identified in the press is proposing both short –term funding and a long term sustainability plan for the Museum.
Our Board's primary objective is to not dissolve and to keep the Collections intact in Marin. If that objective cannot be met with a single proposal that the Attorney General's office approves, then our secondary objective will be to have different parts of the Museum's collections distributed amongst qualified 501(c)(3) organizations in Marin County, consistent with our legal obligations as Trustees of a private, nonprofit public benefit corporation.
We continue to reconcile our accounting of assets released, sold and returned to the Museum. As previously stated, the Museum requested of our former estate sales firm on April 19, 2015 to cease any further sales of any of our approximately 300 assets from our collection of 20,000 items. Unsold items were returned to the Museum's Collections facility on May 6, 2015.
Board of Directors

May 28, 2015
May 11, 2015
The Marin History Museum Board of Directors continues in its commitment to keep the Marin community informed about its activities and to correct any erroneous or inaccurate information that has been disseminated by the press and individual critics.
The Marin History Museum's Board speaks publicly through the Board's President or other Board-appointed designee. All issues and opportunities are thoroughly discussed, carefully weighed and unanimously decided upon by the Board.
After careful consideration and exhaustion of available options following three years of fund-raising efforts and outreach to the Marin Community, the Board met with the City of San Rafael and the County of Marin prior to concluding its decision to dissolve and seek another non-profit 501(c)(3) to care for the Museum's Collections.
Vacating the Boyd Gate House
· Heavy rains in December 2014 triggered flooding inside the then Museum-occupied Boyd Gate House, with a subsequent, noticeable change in the air quality.
· In late January 2015, the Boyd Gate House was found to be uninhabitable and unsuitable for workers and public entry due to a mold infestation. The mold presence was officially reported by an air and water science firm to the Museum Board, and the written environmental report was shared with the owner/landlord, the City of San Rafael.
· Mold remediation of the Museum's belongings was required. All artifacts were professionally cleaned, packed and relocated to MHM's Collections facility in Novato, and all mission-critical business items to a temporary office space. The Boyd Gate House was emptied and restored to "broom clean" and returned to the City, the City and MHM mutually agreed to terminate the lease after the Museum paid the City proceeds of the $50,000 it had raised for repairs of the facility.
Monetization of Selected Assets
· The Museum was unable to raise enough funds to sustainably continue its operations and determined that it was necessary to monetize certain MHM assets in order to protect the larger Collections while it works through the dissolution process. This is a standard, legal, acceptable practice, commonplace in other museums and non-profits.
· The full Board evaluated and approved the engagement with what became the Museum's licensed, bonded and insured independent estate sales contractor, B and C Estate Sales. Job scope was to identify limited items as potential candidates for monetization, pending Museum release by the Board/its designee. Limited items were to be chosen and agreed upon for removal by both parties involved. Additionally, B and C was to appraise Museum artifacts that are part of its permanent collection and ineligible for release.
· The Board entrusted B and C to access the MHM Collections facility on its own. This is a standard business practice used by bonded, licensed, insured estate sales appraisers.
· The Museum's Board designee was instructed to personally qualify each candidate item, and then to release to B and C only if the candidate item met two specific criteria – that the item was non-Marin history specific and non-donor restricted. This process was to be achieved via query into the Museum's database and files.
· The Museum's Board designee in this process – Marcie Miller – had been a long-term MHM employee until April of 2014, when her status changed to Volunteer Director of Programming. The Board separated her from further Museum representation in mid-March 2015.
· No items were sold to B and C. The Museum only released unrestricted items to B and C for the estate sales process.
· On Friday 4/17/15, the County of Marin offered to provide MHM with operating funds to carry us through the dissolution process, which enabled us to discontinue monetizing assets. On Sunday, 4/19/15, MHM was able to reach B and C's owner and requested that he cease selling its released items, immediately return them to MHM, and advise MHM of current sales proceeds. B and C responded with a written Agreement Termination Letter on 4/20/15, and subsequently returned the Museum's unsold items on 5/6/15.
· Bottom line: The Museum is presently auditing and reconciling the lists of items released, items sold and items returned. Of the estimated 20,000 items in the Marin History Museum's Collections, our abbreviated review indicates that the Museum listed and released 276 items to B and C for possible sale. The Board has learned that some items that did not meet the specified requirements for sale also were released to B and C or taken in error on 2/26/15. As a result, some of these items were sold by B and C, and we are continuing our audit and reconciliation of all released, sold and returned items.
Community Support
· The Board of Directors' announcement to dissolve the Museum has resulted in outreach from many supporters in the Marin community. We continue to work diligently to safeguard and maintain the Collections and will continue to focus on those efforts.
· We also continue to meet with qualified and interested parties who want to assist in the preservation of the Museum and its assets.
The Marin History Museum Board of Directors continues to take its fiduciary responsibilities as trustees very seriously and is committed to the collection, preservation and sharing of Marin's rich history. We continue to work cooperatively with representatives of the California Attorney General's office, given their oversight role of the dissolution process for non-profit corporations.
Please continue to visit our website for updated information as it becomes available at www.marinhistory.org.
Thank you sincerely, to our members and supporters, for your interest and support.

Louise Boyd
A women of historic firsts, Louise Boyd explored the globe.
In scrapbooks curated at the Marin History Museum, news clippings from newspapers around the world, in several languages, proclaim the events in Louise Boyd's life. "Arctic Diana," "The Girl Who Tamed the Arctic," read the headlines. The old Independent Journal announces the gala receptions for the Marin Music Chest. And then there are little clippings about a dinner for several friends or a tea to raise money for a worthy cause.
These two phases of Louise Boyd's life lie side by side on the scrapbook page; the Arctic explorer and the society woman. Louise Boyd was a paradox. She seemed to slip from one lifestyle to the other so easily. It has always been a puzzle how Louise Boyd accomplished the transition so gracefully.

Customers need more help when choosing how to go through with cosmetic surgery treatments, a new study suggests.
Research by the Good Surgeon Guide indicated that one in five people who consider going through with surgery will end up not doing it because there is too much information for them to take in.
Christina Clogg, co-founder of the website, stated that if customers could see honest feedback from other patients then they could make informed decisions an operation.
She urged people to contribute to the Good Surgeon Guide and help others make difficult decisions.
"We would encourage anybody who has had cosmetic surgery to spend a few moments to speak about their experience on the site," added Ms Clogg.
The study by the company also showed that ten times as many people had surgery last year as they did six years ago.
In 2008, 600,000 people had some form of cosmetic surgery.
This week, Katherine Griffiths from Cosmetic Surgery Today recommended researching a clinic before having any operations there.

New Online Tutorial for New MLA Documentation StyleChanges are comingbig, important changesin the Modern Language Association system of documentation of sources in research papers. This tutorial was created to help students and faculty familiarize themselves with the new system and learn to use its new features.The publication of a new online tutorial was designed and created by Hunter faculty, staff, and students, on the updated MLA Documentation Style. In a unique collaboration of departments and programs, this new interactive e-learning module is being made available to the entire educational community. Just click on http://library.hunter.cuny.edu/tutorials/mla/mla_tutorial.html and preview the tutorial, complete with examples, explanations, and exercises.The new MLA Handbook, with the revised system, will be published in March, so the new documentation style cannot be required until the Fall semester. But we ask that faculty and students, instructional staff and college-based researchers preview the tutorial, review its new requirements and stylistic revisions, and prepare for the future. Let us know what you think of its content, navigation, and usefulness.

5. Bradley Beal, Washington
The Washington Wizards selected shooting guard Bradley Beal with the third pick to solidify an exciting, young and unaccomplished backcourt. Beal immediately bolsters the Wizards guard rotation and will be able to grow organically alongside third-year burgeoning star point guard John Wall.
Perhaps mislabeled as a knockdown shooter, Beal has been unfairly compared to all-time three-point leader and future Hall of Famer Ray Allen. Beal certainly loves taking the three (he launched five per game during his freshman year at Florida), but his pedestrian average of 33.9 percent reveals that his range may need some work. Many people point to the nearly perfect form he has on his jumper and preach patience, saying the three ball will fall for him as a pro. So far, not quite so good for Beal. He shot 30 percent from deep at Summer League and an even worse 28 percent in eight preseason games.
Beal should be able to score in the NBA right away as he makes up for his lack of height with a strong frame and great athleticism, and like his new backcourt mate Wall, he can get to the rack when he needs to and will not shy from contact (he got to the free-throw line more than seven times a game in Vegas). He averaged double-digit points in Summer League and in preseason play and should get plenty of shot opportunities right away for the Wizards.
He'll be near the top of rookie wings in both rebounds and steals this year, which will help fill the stat sheet and gain attention for his Rookie of the Year campaign. However, if Beal wants to walk away with the Rookie of the Year hardware next spring, he's going to need to put up big points on a nightly basis, as he has to deal with the stiff competition from the rest of the top-five guys on this list.

Demetri and his colleagues compared whether BEAMing technology or traditional tissue analysis was better at picking up "secondary" resistance mutations in the gene for KIT abnormalities that emerged after the disease had become resistant to imatinib and sunitinib. The BEAMing technology proved far superior, finding such mutations in 48 percent of the blood samples, compared to only 12 percent found in tissue samples using traditional methods. Moreover, nearly half of the blood samples with secondary KIT mutations were found to have not just one such mutation, but several.
The results of the regorafenib trial and the BEAMing technology study underscore the value of knowing all the cancer-related mutations within a group of tumors and of having agents that target precisely those mutations, Demetri says.
"Older tools failed to show the breadth and depth of the cancer genomes in any single patient, and this can lead to failure in the process of choosing and evaluating new therapies for patients," Demetri remarked. "A comprehensive approach to detecting and understanding the impact of different mutations in cancer within each individual patient has before now been impractical, but with this new blood test, we hope to make it easy to integrate it into research trials as well as, eventually, into routine clinical practice to make cancer care more precise and personalized to the needs of each patient."

Personalisation key to consumer data
15 March 2013
STOCKHOLM: Personalised offers, improving new product development and receiving targeted ads are among the main reasons consumers would consider sharing their personal data, a study has found.
on interviews
with over 100,000 people in 40 nations, Ericsson, the communications group, found that more than 50% believed their personal information is collected for commercial purposes.
Some 44% of the sample would allow companies to utilise such data in return for receiving personalised offers, as would 41% if firms then improved products or developed impressive new ones.
A further 22% agreed with this statement if it led to increasingly personalised advertising, while 19% considered making such an exchange for accurate metered charges that came with using a service.
"Transparency and respect, offering the ability for consumers to opt in our out of a service and returning user value will increase consumer engagement and strengthen the relationship," Ericsson said.
When asked which information they would be happy to share publicly, an 11% share would "feel good" about revealing their religious beliefs, falling to 9% for political views and 8% for purchase behaviour.
The same number held this opinion regarding their usage of online services and apps, as did 7% for individual search and browsing history, and their current location.
Medical records posted 6% on this measure, while 4% of interviewees proved willing to reveal information stored on their PC or mobile phone.
Upon being questioned about which organisations collect their data, a 53% majority of the panel cited mobile phone operators, as well as 52% naming social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
Apple and Google, specifically, registered 43% here, ahead of other technology companies such as Yahoo and Microsoft on 41%. Companies that make apps for smartphones and tablets logged 39%.

Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 45 loudspeaker
The SM 45 has a 1" aluminum-dome tweeter and a 5.25" mid/woofer, the latter utilizing DefTech's patented Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS), in which the driver's cone is supported at both its inner and outer edges, for longer excursion. The large, unusual-looking knob at the center of the mid/woofer is DefTech's new Linear Response Waveguide. This is designed to create wide dispersion and a smooth frequency response off axis, so that you don't have to be strapped into a narrow "sweet spot" to enjoy good soundgreat for listening (and dance) parties.
I was also immediately impressed by the SM 45's solid feel. Knocking on a side panel resulted in a hollow tone that was slight and well controllednot quite the dull thud you expect from more expensive speakers, but satisfying nonetheless. The SM 45's contoured, high-gloss baffle and tapered side panels are said to minimize diffraction, while internal MDF cross-bracing increases rigidity. (For more on diffraction and how the shape of a speaker's cabinet can influence its frequency response, check out Keith Howard's excellent essay "Cutting Corners.") While unpacking the SM 45s was indeed painless, each speaker weighs a surprisingly hefty 12 lbssignificantly more than my 8.8-lb PSB Alpha B1s, but still 155 lbs lighter than some other speakers around here.
The SM 45's overall fit and finish were outstanding. My review samples seemed to have been roughed up during shipmentthe outer box was dented and puncturedbut there were no signs of damage to the speakers themselves. I was even more impressed by the fact that I could find no signs of manufacturing defects. Though the SM 45 was designed by a team of DefTech engineers in the US and Canada, it's made in China. Paul DiComo explained that careful steps are taken to ensure reliable, high-quality manufacture: DefTech's handpicked vendors are subjected to a lengthy validation process that includes factory inspections, financial vetting, and reference checks. According to DiComo, the vendors selected are given detailed mechanical drawings for every part of a design, and are required to execute those designs precisely as specified. An extensive quality-assurance program follows every step of production, first abroad and later at home, to ensure that the specifications have been met and the speakers are ready to ship to dealers.
The rear of the SM 45 is dominated by a large, flared bass vent and, in a recess, a single pair of five-way binding posts of a high quality typically found in much more expensive designs. Somewhat unfortunately, the speaker is available in only one finish: a modest wood-grain black matte. But, really, the SM 45's high-gloss black baffle would look garish against any other finish. As it is, the speaker seems to quietly and gracefully disappear into itself. The SM 45's frequency range is listed as 35Hz30kHz, its nominal impedance as 8 ohms, and its sensitivity as a relatively high 90dB.
Listening to music
It took some time to get a handle on the SM 45's sound. After a couple weeks of casual listening I found its performance still uninspiring, but soon grew to appreciate its gentle, subtle touch. Far from being a "flavor bomb," the SM 45 didn't stand out in any way at all, but simply sat there, making music. Indeed, the SM 45 was very easy to take for granted, easy to ignore. It was, in a sense, the quietest loudspeaker I've ever heard, and "disappeared" in my room as has no other speaker, allowing music to simply bloom throughout my room, to surround and surprise me. It's impossible to say whether the SM 45's sound changed significantly over time or if I grew better accustomed to what it was doing, but everything snapped into focusliterally and figurativelyduring direct comparisons with the Polk RTi A3 ($399.95/pair; reviewed last month).
Neneh Cherry and Norwegian free-jazz trio, The Thing, offer a languid version of Ornette Coleman's wonderful "What Reason Could I Give" on their surprising collaboration, The Cherry Thing (CD, Smalltown Supersound STS229). While the DefTechs couldn't match the Polks' weighty bass and more powerful kick-drum blasts, the smaller speakers produced a more tightly rendered overall picture, with sharply focused, three-dimensional images set within an impressively wide soundstage. At 3:40 into the song, Cherry, saxophonist Mats Gustafsson, and drummer Paal Nilssen-Love make way for Ingebrigt Hüker Flaten's lengthy bass solo. Through the Polks, this solo was something of a messloose, incoherent, lacking purpose. The DefTechs presented the same minute of music with greater articulation, clarity, and precision, allowing the notes to cohere and the melody to prevailan absolutely lovely thing.
I'd been most impressed by the Polks' way with rock music, so I returned to "Road Dog," from Dope Body's excellent Natural History (CD, Drag City DC513). Again I was surprised: While the Polks produced the bigger, more aggressive overall sound, they couldn't match the DefTechs' transient articulation, inner detail, and delicate touch. Through the SM 45s, the guitar rakes of the song's opening moments sounded more nuanced and natural: I could more easily hearin fact, more easily seea guitar pick hitting individual guitar strings. While the Polks threw those rakes into my room with impressive force, they also made them sound more like simple white noise.
But don't get the wrong idea: The little DefTechs' touch may have been subtle and delicate, but they weren't wusses. They could rock. Compared to my PSB Alpha B1s ($299/pair), the SM 45s offered a similarly well-balanced overall sound, but with more precise imaging, a wider soundstage, and cleaner, deeper bass. Most important to me was the DefTech's ability to reproduce louder, more complex passages of music with no hint of strain or compression. When I turned up the volume during "Road Dog," the PSBs tended to sound slightly stressed out and overmatchedthey wheezed a bit. (Not really.)
Special Music
It's funny how even the smallest, seemingly accidental events can alter our ideas and shape the way we view our worlds. One night toward the end of the review period, I casually selected one of the many neglected discs that litter my orange couch: Mouse on Mars' recently released Parastrophics (CD, Monkeytown MTR 022CD), an album that hadn't impressed me at all the first few times I'd heard it. There's nothing special about this music, I'd thought. Well, about three seconds into listening to Parastrophics through the Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 45s, my jaw dropped, my eyes went wide, and I was forced to give myself three slaps in the face: What the hell was wrong with me? The SM 45s' well-controlled lows, impressive dynamics, and stable stereo imaging worked together to reveal intoxicating levels of detail and texture I'd previously missedanother reminder to spend more time enjoying the things closest to me. My apologies to Mouse on Mars. My thanks to Definitive Technology.

From Garden to Country: Practical Applications of Regenerative Design Theory – Michael Fleischacker For centuries, humans have depleted Earth's resources and scarred its lands. Regenerative design theory suggests creativity and innovation grounded in science will reverse this trend. The theory argues that not only can negative human influences on the land be minimized, but these negative trends will be reversed. Its basic premise is that human's can plan, design, install and maintain developments that build healthy natural and cultural ecologies. In "From Garden to Country, Michael will discuss regenerative design theory and real projects with wide ranging scales and locations.
Large Scale Ecological Restoration at Duke Farms – Michael Catania Duke Farms has undertaken a variety of restoration projects on its 2,700+ acre campus. These projects include the restoration of some 570 acres of ag-modified wetlands in cooperation with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, more than 500 acres of grassland restoration, and some 20,000 linear feet of lakeshore and stream corridor restoration. All of these projects are intended to serve as demonstration projects, as well as living laboratories which can be studied, and hopefully replicated on both a small and large scale.
Planting for Native Pollinators and Beneficial Insects - Kelly Gill A growing body of evidence suggests bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects that provide ecosystem services, such as pollination and biological pest control, are in decline due to habitat loss and widespread pesticide use. Xerces Society, Pollinator Conservation Specialist, Kelly Gill, will talk about how to conserve these beneficial insects through habitat enhancements and pesticide protection. The Xerces Society has worked for over 40 years on pollinator conservation, and has written the best-selling book Attracting Native Pollinators: Protecting North America's Bees and Butterflies.
Ecological Planting: From Healthy Plants to Resilient Landscapes – Claudia West In a world deprived of native species, designers and land managers need every plant to survive and establish thriving populations. Besides being beautiful, planting must be functional and of high ecological value. Therefore, transplants have to be safe, resilient, and establish well after installation. What and how nurseries grow plants matters more than ever before. Join us as we explore how plant nurseries fit into ecological design projects and take a closer look at sustainable growing practices, ethical plant palettes, and examples of ecological designs that bring all entities together to create showcase plantings.
Baldpate Mountain Stewardship Program - Study, Prioritization and Implementation – Michael Van Clef, Ph. D. The presentation will describe efforts of Mercer County and Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space to steward the Ted Stiles Preserve at Baldpate Mountain. Topics will include forest health monitoring, surveys of rare plants and birds, and invasive species mapping. These efforts have prioritized stewardship activities including deer management, control of emerging invasive plants and habitat restoration. The talk will include discussion of prioritizing stewardship efforts based upon landscape context and past land use.
Purpose of Award:

For the first Monday since the seventh game of the 2010 season, the Monday-after-the game film session at North Central was more relaxed, with smiles filling the film room.
Earlier this season, North Central was piling up some huge offensive numbers in all areas save for the scoreboard. Half of that equation changed on Friday night.
North Central assured itself of a spot in Thursday's Region 3-A volleyball championship match as the Lady Knights trampled McBee in three games in the final regulary scheduled match of the season.
Been there, done that.
Sometimes, the best fiery, pre-game pep talks are the ones you save for when they are really needed.
It must be the blue and gold of Lewisville's uniform which seems to bring out the worst in North Central.
By TOM DIDATO
Thursday night, the North Central volleyball team took on Chesterfield for the lead atop the Region 3-A standings.
North Central romped past Lewisville in three games, 25-7, 25-6 and 25-9, in a Region 3-A match played Thursday night in Richburg.
The three-game sweep was the third in a row for Andy Johnson's Lady Knights who improved to 12-1 overall and 4-1 in conference play.
As he watched the film of Great Falls' loss to Andrew Jackson in a game played earlier this season, North Central head football coach Louis Clyburn noticed that Great Falls wide receiver, Xavier Holmes, was dropping pass after pass.
When you are 0-6, it can be hard to feel confident when you are preparing for your next game.
Two nights after suffering their first conference loss in more than two years, the North Central volleyball team released their frustration on McBee to the tune of a 3-0 shutout win at The Castle on Thurday.
In a week in which baseball took center stage in the middle of football season, North Central head coach Louis Clyburn and his staff used a baseball analogy to help prepare their team for Friday night's visit from Region 3-A kingpin Chesterfield.
Five weeks without a win has hardly made life dull at North Central.
Last season, the only pimple on North Central's unbeaten run through Region 3-A volleyball play came when Chesterfield took one game from the Lady Knights, which went 23-1 in games played in eight conference matches.

KERSHAW -- Coaches hate being right, especially when others think they are wrong.
All that stands in the way of another region volleyball championship for North Central is a Monday night make-up match at Indian Land and a ...
Call it the Chicago voting style of ailments.

Buzzfest?? Uh-oh.... not good. not good at all.
Different location or different weekend?
Just for the record. I hate you people(not literally). If I wait til Dec 4th, Larry the Cable guy will be here. So many options for entertainment.
Well, a different weekend would actually be better for me... fewer minors in tow! Nov. 7, then?
Chris, when we do get together we will drink one for you!
I vote for a later date. It's shaping up to be a busy weekend for me.
I'll put my vote in for a later date too. My better half wants me to help her drive up to Dallas and back on Saturday to look at a horse. It would have been possible, but a little rushed to get back here by 4:00. On the other hand, there will be plenty of body art and interesting metal accoutrements on parade that night.
But later is probably wise.
One person's annoying crowd is another person's photo-op, hey?
Reset for Nov. 7. A good plan!
Be safe Clay & family! Have a good trip.
Mrs. Wayne did find some interesting hardware at a couple garage sales. A pristine Canon A-1, a really strange Canon T50, 2 more 50mm lenses to add to the herd (Canon 50/1.8) and a 500mm mirror lens in T-mount. And a Pentax-K 50/1.7. No clue what I'm going to do with that lens.
I'm looking forward to getting all of these new toys into use. It's too HOT now to venture out.

(PRWEB) April 30, 2013
The US Drug Watchdog is now very focused on helping all US women, who are victims of a transvaginal mesh failure that includes a unsuccessful revision surgery. Because of the sensitive nature of a transvaginal mesh failure the US Drug Watchdog is offering failure victims the names of the best possible attorneys, and because the damages are so gender specific, and so personal, the group is promising the attorneys will all be women. The US Drug Watchdog is saying, "We are talking to victims multiple times per week who have had an unsuccessful revision surgery, and these women are being told by their doctors there is nothing else that can be done? We say baloney. If you are a victim of a severe transvaginal mesh failure, or a unsuccessful revision surgery call us and we will give you the names, and contacts of national caliber attorneys who are all women, and extremely good at what they do." According to the US FDA, transvaginal mesh, tape, or sling failures are causing complications in patients such as erosion, or serious infections. Women who experience transvaginal mesh failure may need to have numerous corrective surgeries, IV therapy, blood transfusions and drainage of hematomas or abscesses. For more information women, who are victims of a transvaginal mesh failure are urged to contact the US Drug Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466.
The US Drug Watchdog is indicating symptoms of a transvaginal mesh implant failure may include:

Dickies Long-sleeved Denim Shirt, Stonewash is rated out of 5 by 15.Rated 1 out of 5 by Terry from Nice shirt at a good price, but... Ordered this shirt a size bigger than I normally wear, so I could use it as a light spring jacket. It arrived quickly, as always. The shirt fit ok through the body but the sleeves were very short on me. Prior experience tells me that even a shirt two sizes to big for me will still have sleeves that are too short. Returned for a refund.Date published: 2015-04-08Rated 1 out of 5 by Mystiko from Long sleeved shirt is not so long! Well I ordered three of these finally opened one this week, I found the sleeves to be short. I ordered size large, the shirt is a large and fits ok in that regard full cut. I am 5' 11" 180 lbs so not that big. I find the sleeves to be somewhat short and worse they do not have a button between the cuff and shirt... This additional button is great if you want to just roll the cuff up one turn...without that the cuff is floppy. This is cheap shirt and fits like one. Generally happy with Dickies brand but not these shirts.Date published: 2015-02-20Rated 4 out of 5 by jim 454 from Nice shirts Good quality shirts at a fair price.They are irregulars but not anything noticeable.Date published: 2015-02-12Rated 5 out of 5 by CHARLES from justrightDate published: 2014-06-07Rated 5 out of 5 by PATRICK from Awesome shirt looks and fits great, great everyday over shirtDate published: 2014-04-27Rated 4 out of 5 by EDWARD from good valueDate published: 2014-04-18Rated 5 out of 5 by BRIAN from Nice quality shirts in 100% cotton.Date published: 2014-04-18Rated 5 out of 5 by GENE from Very good shirt, I would buy another.Date published: 2014-04-02

It seems that some abhor the word. It's a pretty ridiculous argument, in my opinion.
Sounds a little sexist if you ask me. Grandmother saying "panties" is fine, but if Grandpa mentions it? It's suddenly creepy and shudder-worthy.
The fact that the word is a diminutive form of "pants" (and therefore infantalizing) is a rather weak argument. It really sounds like a lot of flap over absolutely nothing.
I like panties.
It's "emotional tampon" that I find disturbing.
I'm fine with "panties".
Because you're supposed to put them in your mouth, silly.
Feb 16, 2013
^^^Agreed: That is disturbing.
Feb 16, 2013
So... why post about it? I mean, I dunno, when I see people talking about something I don't care about, what I do is leave them to it, and get on with something I _do_ care about. What I don't do is make a song and dance (or a forum post) about how they're talking about something that doesn't matter to me.
Oh, poor menz, being totally oppressed there because it's more weird when your grandfather talks about panties than when your grandmother does; so sad.
No, seriously, dude, that's such a silly argument. I'm quite sure there are some things you'd be more uncomfortable hearing from a man than a woman; a discussion about (male) masturbation for example, or about male sexual health. There are contexts where a man's input _is_ creepy where a woman's isn't (there's a whole discussion on one of the other forums about tampons versus cups, where Men Are Having Strong Opinions, for example, which, just, like, what the actual fuck?).
It sounds weak to you because men aren't constantly and
systematically infantilised; in particular, their sexuality isn't
systematically infantilised. But that's really just a very
blinkered, short-sighted view.
dammit Shoe! I just made popcorn!
now can I haz popcorn, pls?
Feb 16, 2013
this is relevant.
Feb 16, 2013
Better than B00tyth0ng, amirite?
Feb 16, 2013
The article in the OP makes one wonder how the term ever came into common usage.
Feb 16, 2013
The reason nsert hates the word so much is she is a feminist and feminists live in this warped world where there is no such thing as masculine vs. feminine and it's seen as a weakness to use words associated with femininity.
Feb 16, 2013
Well it's certainly nothing to get your leotard in a twist over, Mayo.
Feb 16, 2013
I see Sushi took the bait. I knew one of the resident feministas wouldn't be able to resist.
Not really, I'm an adult, therefore topics like sexuality don't "creep me out."
Actually, they are: you see many men portrayed on TV and in movies, advertisements as "helpless" around the house without women...as if it were impossible for us to operate a fucking mop without the help of a competent female. Your argument (and the article's) is bullshit.
Oh, really? Do you mean perhaps how men are portrayed and treated as if our minds were solely focused on sex and couldn't possibly do anything else productive with our time because we're sex-obsessed idiots? Like that?
My whole point with this post is that it's pretty fucking silly to get all bent out of shape over a word that is derived the way it should be: panties are small pants that go under your clothes. The inappropriate meanings and "degradation" are being mis-attributed by a hypocritical sub-culture of people who see ghosts of oppression everywhere except that which is propagated by their own hands. (Sound like anyone in this thread?)
There is plenty of real, meaningful oppression and injustice going on in this world. Maybe spend more time working to alleviate that than trying to control the thoughts of everyone around you?
Feb 16, 2013
I felt a great sense of personal freedom after I'd abandoned religion.
I felt an even greater sense of personal freedom after I'd stopped giving mere words more power than they deserve.
Currently in the process of abandoning middle-class morality so I can follow my dream of becoming a skilled assassin.

Hydrogenases are found in a variety of microorganisms and catalyze the reversible reaction of proton reduction to H2 formation [Ducat11]. This enables some organisms to use H2 as a source of reducing equivalents under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, while in other organisms the enzyme reduces protons to H2, thereby releasing reducing equivalents obtained from the anaerobic degradation of organic substrates.
[NiFe] hydrogenases are well characterized enzymes that have play a vital role in H2 metabolism [Hedderich04]. A subset of [NiFe] hydrogenases are multisubunit membrane-bound enzyme complexes. They consist of at least four hydrophilic and two integral membrane subunits which form the core of the complex [Hedderich04]. They have closely related counterparts in energy-conserving NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (complex I), which pumps protons across the inner membrane of mitochondria or the plasma membrane of many bacteria [Hedderich05]. Complex I catalyzes electron transfer from NADH to quinone or menaquinone and couples this to the translocation of H+ or sodium ions across a membrane.
The reaction catalyzed by the hydrogenases is significantly different from the reaction catalyzed by complex I. They can utilize electrons derived from reduced ferredoxins or polyferredoxins to catalyze the reduction of H+ [Hedderich05]. This exergonic reaction is coupled to energy conservation via electron-transport phosphorylation. In a reaction driven by reverse electron transport, other family members of this hydrogenase can provide the cell with reduced ferredoxin using H2 as the electron donor [Hedderich05].
About This Enzyme
The [NiFe] hydrogenase is ferredoxin dependent, and is composed of 6 subunits. The enzyme has a high degree of homology with 6 subunits of ech hydrogenase from the methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina barkeri [Soboh04]. Adjacent to the ech operon, Caldanaerobacter subterraneus tengcongensis has a second gene cluster designated hyp, which encodes all proteins essential for the biosynthesis of the [NiFe] centres, but not for the protease that catalyzes the C-terminal processing of the hydrogenase large subunit (EchE) [Soboh04]. Other [NiFe] hydrogenases have a carboxy terminal extension on the hydrogenase large subunit that is cleaved off after the correct insertion of the [NiFe] centre, which is not present in EchE of both Caldanaerobacter subterraneus tengcongensis and Methanosarcina barkeri [Blokesch02a].
Membrane bound hydrogenases catalyze the reduction of H+ with electrons derived from reduced ferredoxins and this exergonic reaction is coupled to to energy conservation via electron transport phosphorylation [Hedderich05]. Therefore, these enzymes have been designated energy-converting [NiFe] hydrogenases (Ech) [Vignais01]. Pyrococcus furiosus has such a membrane bound (Mbh) hydrogenase as does Caldanaerobacter subterraneus tengcongensis that mediates H2 production [Sapra03].
Caldanaerobacter subterraneus tengcongensis uses the enzymes of the glycolysis III (from glucose) pathway to convert glucose to pyruvate, generating ATP and NADH. Pyruvate is then oxidized to acetyl-CoA and CO2 using the pyruvate fermentation to acetate and lactate II pathway, thus generating reduced ferredoxin via pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SHPS, Inc. has developed a new platform for administering health spending accounts that provides employers of all sizes with more options and unprecedented flexibility.
The new platform, announced today, offers access to a much broader range of plan configuration and delivery options. The platform enables all health spending accounts to be administered as a multiple account service, with only one website, single sign-on, statement, and debit card—capabilities previously unavailable in the marketplace.
According to SHPS president and CEO Rishabh Mehrotra, the new platform—which features significant improvements to health savings accounts and health reimbursement arrangements capabilities—allows SHPS to support employers as they deal with complex changes brought on by healthcare reform.
"With healthcare reform guidelines mandating state-based exchanges by 2014, we've seen employers reevaluating options for providing coverage to their employees," said Mehrotra. "A significant number of our clients are moving to consumer-directed health plans. As one of the top spending account providers in the country, it was important for us to invest in a platform that could support our clients' needs well into the future."
Mehrotra also recognized a growing desire among clients to gain access to a highly flexible and configurable health spending account platform, to secure a single vendor to coordinate multiple accounts and to ensure that cost saving features were a part of the offerings.
Applying best practices from 25 years of experience working with some of the largest and most sophisticated employers in the country, SHPS designed a state-of-the-art software system that is scalable to meet the needs of employers of all sizes, includes a full suite of spending account products, portable to ensure health plans can be altered without having

(The Washington Post via Getty Images)New Chicago Bears wide receiver Josh Morgan was arrested in Washington, D.C., early Sunday morning and charged with one count of misdemeanor simple assault, according to multiple reports Monday.The Washington Post reported that Morgan was charged after allegedly punching a valet driver in the face. He was arrested at about 1:30 a.m., according to the report. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 22.Morgan denied any wrongdoing in an interview with NBC Washington."I'm not worried about nothing," Morgan told the station in a phone interview. "I know I didn't do anything wrong.""I've always been a standup guy in the community, I've always been a standup guy, period," Morgan added. "Everybody knows me. Everybody knows how I am. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. What a coincidence that now I signed with the Chicago Bears, now all of a sudden it happened."In a statement provided to ESPN.com, the Bears said: "We are aware of Josh Morgan's presence at a weekend incident in Washington, D.C. We are currently gathering information to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the event."The 28-year-old Morgan signed a one-year deal with the Bears last week after spending the last two seasons with the Washington Redskins. In 14 games last year, Morgan caught 20 passes for 214 yards. He went an entire season without catching a touchdown pass for the first time in his six-year career. His poor performance last year came after a season during which he led the Redskins with 48 receptions for 510 yards.

Most innovative credit cards
Both of this year's most innovative credit cards reward cardholders for great decisions, whether it's serving our country or building a sound financial foundation through homeownership.
- PenFed Defender Visa Signature® Card. Although PenFed has been attracting plenty of members from outside the military, this revamped version of its Defender Visa cuts straight to the core of this credit union's mission. This no-annual-fee card offers unlimited, 1.5 percent cash rebates on every purchase, automatically credited back to each member's account at the end of every month. Along with one of the country's lowest APRs, this card features no late fees, no foreign transaction fees, no balance transfer fees, no cash advance fees, and no overlimit fees. The only catch? Only active duty military personnel, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and honorably discharged and retired veterans can qualify. After hearing so many stories about banks and payday lenders gouging military families, this is an excellent way to reward exemplary military service.
- Wells Fargo Home Rebate Visa®. This clever program funnels generous rebates directly toward loan principal on a linked Wells Fargo home mortgage. Gas, grocery and drugstore net purchases earn rebates of 5 percent for the first six months, while most other everyday net purchases earn a 1 percent rebate. Every time a cardholder's rewards balance hits $25, Wells Fargo automatically converts that balance into a mortgage credit. At a time when retail branch-based banks have mostly been getting trounced on deals from heavyweight credit card issuers, this offer signals Wells Fargo's attempt to muscle back into the mainstream consumer credit market.

I haven't seen Endgame in, like, forever, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but... Didn't Janeway originally want to leave the hub alone until she was handed defensive technology that let Voyager handle Borg attacks, and a torpedo that could kill a Cube in one shot? Why would she ever consider the Federation to be vulnerable to the Borg if she had those?
The Borg inevitably adapt to any new defense in time; in fact, they adapted to the ablative armor in "Endgame" itself. The value of the new weapons was simply that they were new, that the Borg hadn't dealt with them yet and thus hadn't adapted. That made their benefit short-term at best. That's why Nechayev was so reluctant to authorize the use of transphasic torpedoes during the Invasion -- because the more they were used, the quicker the Borg would adapt to them and render them useless (like the way germs develop resistance to antibiotics and disinfectants if you overuse them).
All true, but there was some dissension on the topic; I think it was Admiral Shelby who scoffed at the idea that the Borg could adapt to something that kills in one shot. Janeway could have thought something similar.
