For those familiar with U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) work, objectivity and commitment to fact based on statistics come to mind. Yet as Mark Twain once put it, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
That's where John Krohn comes into play. A former spokesman for the gas industry front group Energy in Depth (EID), Krohn now works on the Core Team for EIA's "Today in Energy!"
Krohn has been at EIA since at least January 2014, when his name first appeared on the EIA website. On his Twitter account, he describes himself as an EIA communications manager.
As DeSmog revealed in February 2011, Energy In Depth was launched with a heavy injection of funding from oil and gas industry goliaths such as BP, Halliburton, Chevron, Shell and XTO Energy (now owned by ExxonMobil).
With its public relations efforts conducted by FTI Consulting, EID now serves as a key pro-industry front group promoting unfettered hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") to the U.S. public.
Krohn follows in the footsteps through the government-industry revolving door of the man President Barack Obama named to head the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for his second term, former Massachusetts Institute of Technology "frackademic," Ernest Moniz. DOE is the parent agency for EIA.
Further, EIA Administrator Adam Sieminski, another second-term appointee of President Obama, also passed through the same revolving door as Krohn and Moniz in his pathway to heading EIA. He formerly worked in the world of oil and gas finance.

Skip to comments.Missouri police given chilling instructions (just mentioned by Rush)
Posted on 03/18/2009 9:25:30 AM PDT by SloopJohnB
Police in Missouri apparently are being instructed to keep on eye on conservatives.
According to this AP article the government of the state of Missouri has issued a report "informing" state police that people with third party bumper stickers on their cars or who believe the NAFTA superhighway is an attempt create a North American Union are subversive members of paramilitary militias and potential terrorists.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
CHILLING! These people on the left are inciting anger with every breath they take.
I think I need independent verification of this before I take it seriously.
If you mention "constitutional rights" to the cop pulling you over, he flags you as a dangerous person. That sort of profiling is OK, I guess.
Bring on the goons, they will be no match for the Vets, Red necks!!!!!!!
There WILL be blood.....
What's freaky about the idea is that even if it's purely paranoia, it's so plausible and possible that it reducess the marginalization normally associated with the paranoid.
After posting I just remembered there was an incident somewhere in the country recently. Police stopped a car with some kind of anti-Obama bumper sticker and contacted the Secret Service.
Also noted yesterday here:
reducess —> reduces.
Dangerous times we are living in.
"They aren't organized. Take them out one by one and there will be no trouble."
I find it interesting that people demanding their rights, demanding that the Constituion be made revelant again, are now terrorists.
Hmmm... where can one get some Ron Paul stickers to plaster over some Zero stickers...
Oklahoma? The guy had an 'abort 0' bumper sticker a month ago.
The third reich would have heartily approved.
Good Lord - what have we become?
It would be just priceless if EVERYBODY had a "subversive" bumper sticker.
Something on the theme of Missouri being the "show me" state or a mule kicking the hell out of the constitution or something like that.
earlier threads amongst these search results:
the 3/15 one has scans of the reputed document
The anti-Obama sticker was confiscated by the trooper, and the Secret Service visited the man's home to see if they could find any anti-government literature in his home. The trooper's supervisor later mailed home the sticker with a letter of apology (according to the article).
This from the state whose AG was going to prosecute anti-Obama campaigning as hate-speech.
They're not just on the Left, my FRiend....I bet there are many Ron Paul haters in the GOP who are lickin' their chops right now. I myself have been called a "traitor" by fellow FReepers for not supporting Juan McCain, which you can read in my Ping list.
I wonder if Green Party bumper stickers will raise a red flag?
If this isnt enough to wake people up all acorss America about the oncoming communist onslaught by liberal leaders than nothing will. There should be so much outrage about this that those responsible for such a policy should be run out of the state on a rail after being tarred and feathered.
Looks like I am in trouble. You should see all of the stickers on the back of my old Volvo. I carry a pocket constitution, too.
Rush no longer puts anything out until it's independantly verified — he's beeen burned a few times. With the Obamaphile Nixon in as governor and a libtard AG, I have no doubts as to the story's veracity.
We've been through this before, y'know...
Here's an image of the original referenced document:
"Who is being targeted in this report? The state police are warned that Christians, "sovereign citizens", those opposed to abortion, tax revisionists, and anti-illegal immigrant advocates are potential would-be terrorists."
And it begins ...
The first three flags are somewhat unique to wackjobs and not to subversives. lol
Oooh Rah! Get Some!
Eeh...I need some verification of this.
We read about the rise of socialists in history books. Now we're living it, seeing it with out own eyes. And those that we depend on to lead us against the socialists are silent. We have no elected leaders that are fighting this. We've got a few folks in talk radio, on the internet doing all they can. But we need someone to stand up in the Senate. Shut the government down for a while. Try to wake people up.
I saw one on a car the other day that said "I'm not wearing any pants".
OK... So then put an "Obama" sticker right next to your "From my cold dead hands!" sticker and watch their heads explode.
YIKES!!!!!!! Only a kook would do that!
Prayers for you & your family. < /sarc>
Funny, they do not dispute the NAU or anything else, but always leave out the fact that other than McVeigh, who some say was a patsy for Clinton...they ignore the thousands of Americans killed by illegal aliens and Muslim terrorists.
Was it driven by one of these guys?

text: I'LL QUIT TOMORROW consist of co-founders and former members of ...The Naughty Bits... from Boston MA, (1986-1994) Charlie DeYoung & Joe Coughlin. The Band was a part of a fresh and exciting music scene that was flourishing in Boston during that time period. Headlining many shows the band also had the opportunity to share the stage with some fantastic national acts at the time. Along with ample airplay and constant gigging the band was also featured on MTV's Totally Pauly in the early 90's. Having gone separate ways and living their lives for a decade and a half (making music separately)... it was about 5 years ago Charlie & Joe decided to collaborate again even though on separate sides of the country and created as a side project.... I'LL QUIT TOMORROW...since then they have had songs licensed/placed on numerous Television shows. Having songs picked up by several publishing / licensing companies along the way & having half a dozen of their songs represented in Paul McCartney's (MPL Communications catalog) for commercial licensing has re-inspired their collaboration efforts.

The 7 Undeniably Badass Moments Of TV's Most Useless And Problematic Characters
By Joanna Robinson | Seriously Random Lists | April 15, 2013 | Comments ()
Winona Hawkins -- "Justified": After four seasons of hapless criminal behavior, unnecessarily acidity and general...distemper, the lovely Winona Hawkins nee Givens nee Whatever finally made herself useful by helping Raylan gun down some Detroit mafia home invaders in this season's finale. Honestly, it's the first time I loved her.
Adam -- "Girls": It's hard to know what to make of Adam Driver's character on "Girls." In a sea of unlikable ladies, he's a...slightly less unlikable beacon? I thought Lena Dunham had done something very clever with his character in Season 1, initially presenting him as the douchebag in their relationship only to flip that dynamic on its head. A lot of that good work was undone in Season 2 but this moment, in the Season 1 finale, will always be one of Adam's finest. Also, primo schadenfreude for all you Hannah haters.
Dark Willow -- "Buffy": Evil Willow was an intensely problematic character mostly because, in creating her, Whedon and company muddied one of their already awkward metaphors. If being a Wicca is equivalent to discovering other parts of your sexuality in Seasons 4 and 5, it can't suddenly be a ham-fisted allegory for addiction is Season 6. It just can't. And while most people love Dark Willow's violent revenge on her lover's murderer ("bored now"), the only time I really loved Dark Willow is when she finally (finally) addressed the whiny ball of light in the room. Dawn, sweetie, you had it coming.
Andy Botwin -- "Weeds": I talk about this moment a lot because it is absolute perfection. While Nancy Botwin had become a complete misery of a human being, the once-charming Andy was no-less difficult to watch. A thousand splendid quips could not off-set his unfathomable obsession with her. That's why this discussion where he discovers his power in their dysfunctional relationship crowned with this glorious iced coffee smack down will always be my favorite moment of the series.
Cersei Lannister-- "Game of Thrones": Cersei the character is not all this problematic, but many "Game of Thrones" fans take exception Lena Headey's delivery. But nothing brings us all together like a good ol' fashioned Joffrey slap, eh?
Lane Pryce -- "Mad Men": The only thing better than a Joffrey slap, of course, is a Pete Campbell punch. Poor, repressed, useless Lane. This was his shining hour. It didn't take long for the wheels to come off his life completely, but I like to think that when the remaining employees of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce (or are they SCDHC now?) think back fondly on Lane Pryce, this is what they remember.
Trudy Campbell-- "Mad Men": And though she may not have laid a finger on him in last night's episode, the largely useless Trudy Campbell finally attacked that slimeball she's married to. While Joan Harris and Peggy Olsen have been blazing trials in their own way, Trudy has largely been a symbol of the bygone womanly era. No longer, apparently. Welcome to 1968, Pete.

This is "trophy hunting." Cecil then was skinned and beheaded, with his remains abandoned at the park border.

This interview comes completely out of the blue. I've recently finished watching the 0079 film trilogy, and I noticed a definite optimism in what I see, despite the tragedy in which some of it is presented.
Out of interest, I saw the Ideon ending once, and the tone of such a conclusion provided a complementary ideal of tranquillity following destruction. I take it I've yet to fully interpret the frustration evident in his early works though; I don't plan on watching Zeta, and I understand that's quite a milestone as far as casualties are concerned.
Correct me if I read his comments incorrectly, but does Tomino seem to be recommending that we watch Ideon (et al) fansubbed?

I'm not sure. I only really read it that way after you said it, so maybe not.
Still, though, no mention of Heavy Metal L-GAIM? That's probably the most overlooked of Mr. Tomino's works in the United States.

Yoshiyuki Tomino is probably my favorite director of animation, but I reallly dislike his new found attitude. It's almost Pollyanna-like. Anime is entertainment, yes, but a so-called positive message is not necessary for entertainment. If a story has a positive message, then go with it, but if you're trying too hard to push it, it invalidates the story. Especially if you're trying to do it to an already existing work. This was one of my big issues with the Zeta Gundam movies. It was an embarrassment.
Then he goes and mentions Be Invoked, which only comes to a positive conclusion after scores of deaths, including scenes where small children die horribly in front of the viewer, often in gratiutous fashion. It was almost like he was enjoying it.
Right now, whenever I read interviews with Tomino, he seems pretty dismissive. I think he's at a point in his life where he's too exhausted to be bothered. Of course, it could be because, honestly, the guy seems a little weird.

I don't think this interview was very good. They were boring questions and I could think of at least five better ones you could have asked. A wasted opertunity.
That one about future careers besides acting and anime was rubbish.

What a coincidence. I just watched one of the Z-Gundam movies at a local Japanese restaurant yesterday. It's great that the interviewer had a chance to conduct interview with Tomino. I wish that interview was longer (its word count is 833). 800 word count is too short. I wonder if there is a longer version for Protoculture Addict. I don't know if Mr. Egan Loo is fluent in Japanese, but I came across about a recent 20,000 words (40,000 characters in Japanese) interview of Hayao Miyazaki from non-Anime magazine. Yes, a regular magazine has nothing to do with Anime. Tomino is in the same age group as Miyazaki and the mastermind behind of one of the most influential animation franchise. 800 word count is just short. Again I don't know Mr. Loo didn't have enough time to make longer interview. Maybe my expectation was too high. We know that Japanese guests come to North America once or twice per decade. My point is take full advantage of the situation and make best of it.
BTW, the interview is good, but I wish the interview had more relevant questions.

Yeah, I wanted to ask more questions about L-Gaim, or for that matter, more in-depth questions of Tomino's better known and lesser known works. However, Sunrise asked us to keep our pre-interview* questions before the convention "easy" and "more general, not talking about his works in detail." Sunrise understandably wants audience members at the New York Anime Festival to get a shot at asking the more detailed questions. I also think Sunrise wants to avoid spoiler questions before the convention, which is why some of our pre-interview questions were worded the way they were.
*Yes, Sunrise called this advance interview a "pre-interview." Sunrise said that we can have a more in-depth interview at the convention where "the questions don't have to be easy and general. You can ask very deep questions about his works, culture, and social issues," within guidelines for press.

Ok, so this boils down to criticism without offering a solution. Wouldn't it be better to get the questions out there rather than hold them on the chance that you actually get such an opportunity so that they could get asked in another interview and we'd all get to know the answers?
Anyway, I found his comment about this industry rather interesting. I can understand that he's grateful and definitely like the realistic comment that nothing's perfect, but I guess the "well, that's how things go" comment seemed a bit nonchalant. He probably does feel that way, but I guess I was expecting a little more explanation.

True, you don't have to, but it also hampers your claim if there is no backing. If someone casually says, "I could do that better than you", the natural response is "Ok, prove it." If they can't then it seems like they're just trying to get someone riled.
Edit: It seems that Zac beat me to it. Oh well.

SEP, Increased Incidence of Brain Cancer, and Potential Role of Mobile Phone Usage.
In relation to the reported findings in this study of a correlation between higher socioeconomic position and incidence of brain tumour, specifically giloma and acoustic neuroma, among a cohort of Swedish-born residents, the authors postulate 'completeness of cancer registration' and 'detection bias' as a potential explanation.
This seems unlikely, especially given the progressive nature of brain tumour pathology, i.e. socioeconomic background would have little effect on the eventual likelihood of a patient entering the (taxpayer funded) medical system, and thus small statistical significance.
In May 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields - as emitted by mobile phones - as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" (IARC Group 2B), based on "limited" epidemiological studies showing an indication of an increased risk of glioma or acoustic neuroma.
In May 2016, it was reported (http://microwavenews.com/news- center/ntp-cancer-results) that the US government's recently completed $25 million National Toxicology Program study shows statistically significant increases in cancer - specifically giloma and malignant schwannoma of the heart, the latter affecting the same type of cell as acoustic neuroma - among rats that had been exposed to GSM or CDMA signals for two years.
Is it not the case that those with higher SEP, i.e. professionals as opposed to manual labourers, would statistically be more likely to have an increased exposure to microwaves from both cordless and mobile phones, used as an administrative tool in the workplace (regardless of personal use outside of these hours).
Mobile phone use in the workplace became widespread during the 1980's and onwards. The authors of this study looked at a primary diagnosis of brain tumour among cohort members between 1993 and 2010. Allowing for a latency period of up to 10 years plus for the development of brain tumour following carcinogenic exposure, is it not worth exploring this potential link, rather than the somewhat weaker theory of 'detection bias'.

Working longer, working better?Sir, We have read with particular interest the paper by Wu C. et al. on the association of retirement age with mortality among older adults in a large US study.[1] We need deeper understanding of the association found between a 1-year age increment in the 2,956 participants and an 11% lower risk of all-cause mortality (95% confidence interval 8-15%). The authors conclude that "early retirement may be a risk factor for mortality and prolonged working life may provide survival benefits". It is true that employment is a major component of individual identity, as the authors' state. However, the discussion about reverse causality needs further development, since working conditions might partly explain these results: poor working conditions are related to shorter employment spans, and also to poorer health, while ending work with retirement is associated with a positive lifestyle and health changes.[2,3]. Thus in analyzing the relation between early retirement and mortality the authors should more deeply explore working conditions, including physical and psychosocial exposures during the working life, known to have long-term effects on health.[4,5] The division of occupations into three categories (white collar, blue collar, service, not even included in the final model) is too crude for comparing positive and negative working environments. Using working characteristics, job-exposure matrices, or proxy measures, might be considered for this, if available. In conclusion, we agree with the authors on the possible positive effect of prolonged working life, but the effects of working conditions should be considered, detailed, and discussed.

Early life social conditions and adult cancers: a fundamental research question
We commend the authors for taking the hypothesis that cancer may have its roots in early life social conditions seriously [1]. Social inequalities exist for many cancer types and are usually attributed to differences in lifestyles and behaviours. Thus, attempts at primary prevention are often confined to relatively proximal disease risk factors at the individual level.
Cancer development has mainly been considered as a consequence of DNA mutations and consequently tends to be viewed through the lens of molecular biology. However, cancer may be a disease model particularly relevant to investigate how the social becomes biological, via a lifecourse approach. Many socially stratified biological mechanisms have been identified as being part of the causal chain of risk for cancers: material exposures (including inert ones such as asbestos, or living ones such as the Helicobacter pylori virus) and behavioural mechanisms (including tobacco consumption and fatty food intake). Furthermore, the lifecourse approach is of particular interest when studying cancer because of the long latent time period during which exposures occur, before the onset of disease. There is increasing evidence for the role of chronic stress from early life in cancer development and progression.
Upstream, cancer aetiologies differ, some being exogenous in origin (viruses, smoking) and others endogenous (hormonal cancers). However all cancers are at some point rooted in the immune and inflammatory system, and thereby their initiation is susceptible to factors affecting biological mechanisms at some point along this aetiological pathway. If the immune system is impaired from killing-off damaged cells, the risk of developing tumour cells is heightened [2]. A damaged immune system is also an important accelerator of cancer progression [3]. This root in the immune system is currently the source of the most promising immune-therapy treatment for many cancers [4]. In fact, there is increasing evidence that chronic stress may influence immune and inflammatory systems, implicating socially driven epigenetic mechanisms, which may represent an overall set of early life social determinants of cancer development over the lifecourse [5]
Evidence on the link between early life stress and cancer in epidemiology remains sparse and inconclusive, and presents difficult methodological issues. Measuring early life physiological stress remains a challenge, but one worth investing in since acute versus chronic stress, and the timing of stress in early life may be important for subsequent stress responses. Stressful events are likely to be experienced differently depending on an individual's hierarchical position on the social gradient. Individuals lower on the social gradient may be more vulnerable to the physiological or behavioural effects of stressful environmental exposures with fewer resources and buffering strategies at their disposal compared to individuals with a higher social position [6]. Social gradients may also confer stress to individuals via status anxiety, which has also been shown in non-human primates [7]. Intra-familial conditions occurring from conception into adolescence may program physiological responses during sensitive periods of development, altering an individual's biology, rendering them susceptible when faced with exposures later in life [8]. We hypothesize that taking into account socially driven early life exposures to chronic stress is important to understanding the aetiology of cancers, which have a common root in the immune and inflammatory systems. These systems form part of the overall physiological stress response.
We have inadequately attempted to examine this hypothesis, showing that early life adversity and social position is associated with adult cancers before the age of 50 [9]. However, due to a gaping hole in the available lifecourse data combined with good quality cancer incidence data in adulthood, the hypothesis remains to be fully investigated. As well as having mortality data, cancer incidence data provided by registries would allow for a better understanding of cancer aetiological pathways from early life social conditions onwards, and potentially highlight new areas for the primary prevention of cancers. We agree with the authors' point about investing resources into data, and we would emphasise the need for quality data on cancer incidence specifically. To truly get to grips with the aetiology of cancers, concerted investment in the birth cohort studies, and their linkage with registries is paramount.

Measuring the impact of green space interventions in deprived neighbourhoods on physical activity and health
Droomers et al. examined the association between green space interventions in Dutch deprived neighborhoods and short-term impacts on physical activity (PA) and perceived general health (PGH) among adults. The authors reported an absence of short-term positive effects on PA and health from improvements in green space in deprived neighbourhoods.[1]
The authors made significant efforts to control for the clustering of individuals within neighbourhoods and to adjust analyses at both individual and neighbourhood levels.[1] They acknowledged several shortcomings in the research design including the wide range of socioeconomic interventions undertaken by the Dutch District Approach, in addition to the varied mix of locally tailored green space interventions.[1, 2] However, effect modifiers and information bias were possibly introduced in the study design leading to inaccurate conclusions.
Social neighbourhood environments are considered to be effect modifiers.[3, 4] However, the overall intensity of the Dutch District Approach method used to adjust for the impact of interventions not related to green space was based on the number of interventions;[1] not on the type of interventions. Therefore, a fully justified sample size allowing stratified analysis was needed.
Furthermore, I argue that exposure and outcome measures possibly introduced information bias limiting opportunities to capture positive impacts of green space interventions on PA and health. Information about respondents' use of green space is vital to examine their impacts on PA and health.[2, 4] However, green space exposure was not measured in terms of use, access or proximity to green space interventions, but in terms of their implementation. This information bias might have pulled the results toward the null hypothesis, as the assumption was that all respondents were "exposed" to green space interventions, but this was not necessarily true. Differential misclassification of outcomes was also potentially introduced. Given the variety of green space interventions (e.g. community gardens), PA domains specifically related to these green space interventions might have shed light on the impact of the neighbourhood green space attributes.[4] In addition to PGH, the study would have been more robust if physical, mental, and social health constructs had been operationalized.[5]
Doomers et al. reported that green space interventions do not impact PA and health. Given the wide variety of interventions: 1) a fully justified sample size allowing stratified analysis and 2) measures, which accurately classify exposure to green space and capture PA and health domains specifically related to green space interventions are needed to limit potential type II error.

Response to: Ribeiro, et al. "Where do people live longer and shorter lives? An ecological study of old-age survival across 4404 small areas from 18 European countries"
Ribeiro and colleagues' identify high mortality rates at older ages in the post-industrial UK areas of Merseyside and West Central Scotland (WCS). They suggest that poverty and a lack of social cohesion may be part of the explanation for this finding (1). Merseyside and WCS are characterised by wide intra-regional variation in mortality rates compared to other deindustrialised areas across Europe, possibly reflecting greater inequalities (2).
Although these areas are relatively deprived in a UK context, they are not so in European context and the substantially higher mortality in WCS compared to Merseyside is not explained by poverty. Glasgow's mortality remains higher than expected, when compared to Liverpool, even taking into account its relative age, sex and deprivation profile - a phenomenon known as Glasgow's 'excess mortality'(3). Thus, there is more to the explanation of health differences between these post-industrial areas than poverty alone. Levels of social cohesion have been suggested as a potential contributory cause for this 'excess mortality' (3). A survey of Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester, found that the population of Liverpool had substantially higher social cohesion (e.g. trust and reciprocity) than Glasgow, despite almost identical poverty and deprivation levels (4). Research is underway to understand why the social fabric of Liverpool differs from Glasgow, and in particular the role of historical regional and urban policy in fostering (e.g. through popular political activity) or damaging (e.g. through the diversion of investment away from the city) this.
The findings of Ribeiro and colleagues point to an important mortality phenomenon, but caution should be exercised before we explain these findings without due attention to historical and political context.

How stakeholder participation could increase inequities. The inverse equity hypothesis lens.
Recent review from Harris et al [1] sets the alternative hypothesis that greater degree of stakeholders participation can produce a contextually valid synthesis. Aware of the importance of stakeholders in healthcare, a null hypothesis may come to mind: Stakeholders increase inequity by biasing synthesis. Let us give you some theoretical framework. Research on public health interventions should include academic researchers and local stakeholders to ensure that results are relevant to, and useful for, decision-makers. The idea is that stakeholders involvement also increases transparency and truthfulness of research process [2]. Thus, the partnership "researcher-stakeholder" may be successful in improving health outcomes. Given its goal, the scope of stakeholders involvement is wide, including patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, advocacy groups, professional societies, businesses, policymakers, or others. These people that emerge from general population are also vulnerable to health inequalities. Then, what if there is a gap, within stakeholder, between the most and the least disadvantaged? This scenario can lead to biased results because of two reasons: 1) Marginalization of vulnerable populations that are valuable for the researcher-stakeholder partnership, and 2) Unfairness selection of stakeholders that reproduces inequality in a particular way by allowing some people to mobilize capital for their own benefit, blending self-interest and public interest which is a difficult enterprise [3]. Allowing some individuals to have greater probability of become stakeholder could, as I already mention, produce biased results. Biased results leads to wrong decision-making and to interventions that initially benefit only those with higher socio-economic status and therefore inadvertently increase inequities, a situation called "the inverse equity hypothesis" [4] Thus, one can easily conclude one big issue in the role of stakeholders in research: we must assure significant inclusion of the most disadvantaged. How? Using proper procedures for obtaining persons from the target population to build the stakeholder team. Finally, based on this short dissertation a question emerges to pose to Dr. Harris: Did you use special procedures to assure a significant inclusion of individuals to stakeholder team? In other words: do you think is important to consider selection bias when setting up the stakeholder team? Acknowledgments: Victor C. Kok MD. PhD.

Options in Breech Delivery: the woman's choice?
Hehir (2015) gives an interesting account on the current trends in breech delivery and gives discusses several large studies whose findings suggest that differences in mortality between vaginal breech delivery and elective cesarean section are minimal. Considering the down sides of cesarean delivery, such as increased risks during future pregnancies and births, what is the best option for women? And who should make that decision?
Vaginal breech delivery rates are decreasing, with more obstetricians opting for cesarean delivery and some even using a 'no- option' approach when it comes to vaginal breech delivery (Hehir, 2015). This 'no-option' approach means that women are not given the chance to make informed decisions about their own healthcare- a principle which is fundamental to current medical practice (Dyer, 2015). Of course there are challenges, and the fast pace and anxiety provoking environment of an emergency breech delivery is not the ideal situation to be making these decisions. It is therefore important that women are given information about their options early on in their pregnancy so that a plan can be agreed between the patient and the rest of the medical team.

a cup of tea
It appears somewhat bizarre that authorities have ignored a widely consumed source of fluoride from tea although insisting on community water fluoridation (CWF) to reduce dental decay. Notably, black tea in commercial teabags contains significant levels of fluoride. This is especially so when sourced from Kenya with volcanic soils compounded by fluoride from superphosphate fertilisers. Mechanical harvesting then includes older leaves with higher fluoride content than the young hand- picked tips. Habitual tea drinkers with a daily consumption of 3 cups of tea could already be obtaining more than adequate or safe fluoride intake based on the WHO (2002) upper limit recommendations of 2mg/day for children and 4mg for adults. Peckham's multicentre GP study revealing 30% higher hypothyroidism in areas where the water supply exceeded 0.3ppm of fluoride must raise serious questions regarding HFSA toxicity as nationwide, the British are traditionally tea drinkers. Thus all areas would already be getting fluoride from tea yet only those with CWF had increased hypothyroidism rates.

Potential Challenges to Using Paternal Education as a Proxy for SES
Oksuzyan et al. report an association between race/ethnicity and two subtypes of childhood leukemia: acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).1 Accordingly, the researchers suggest that there are genetic, cultural, and environmental factors involved in the etiology of childhood leukaemia [1].
Importantly, Oksuzyan et al. made a significant effort to examine and control for the potential role of socioeconomic status (SES) on this association. In particular, the authors used paternal education levels used as a proxy for SES given that a significant percentage of information on maternal education was missing from the birth registry used [1]. This strategy faces several challenges given the complex association of race, education, and SES.
The use of paternal education might not appropriately account for the adverse health effects which might result (at least in part) from residing in single-parent homes. It has been widely documented that children frequently exhibit poor health outcomes in single-parent homes due to causal chain of effects related to parent's education, SES, and income [2]. Moreover, the information regarding paternal education as a proxy for SES was obtained from the California Birth Registry [1]. It is possible that this data does not adequately represent the SES of the cases used in the study given that the father identified might not have provided financial support for the child.
In addition, the use of parental education as a proxy for SES may not be an appropriate method as average income frequently varies in jobs requiring similar education levels [3]. It is possible that these variations occur more frequently among different ethnic/racial groups; potentially as a result of systemic prejudice and/or unequal employment opportunities [3].
Oksuzyan et al. report an association between race/ethnicity and childhood leukaemia [1]. Due to potential challenges in using paternal education as a proxy for SES, the inclusion of maternal education and a discussion regarding SES in single-parent homes would have been valuable.

Sleep duration by actigraphy in relation to perceived health among older adults
Lauderdale et al. examined the association between perceived fair/poor health and sleep duration by several methods [1]. The authors concluded that U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and prevalence of fair/poor health was observed only with measuring sleep with survey sleep hours and survey calculated sleep time. In contrast, there was no association between long sleep duration and increased prevalence of fair/poor health by actigraphy. However, I am not fully convinced by their arguments.
First, the authors well understand the limitation of actigraphy, named Actiwatch Spectrum, for sleep evaluation and the need of validation study of actigraphy against sleep polysomnography. There is a difference between brain activity and physical movement during sleep, and the discrepancy of sleep parameters between polysomnography and actigraphy is obvious for insomniacs [2]. When calculating total sleep time by actigraphy, the authors selected default sleep/awake sensitivity setting (40 counts per minutes), and also carried out a sensitivity analysis with a lower threshold of 20. Although the correlation coefficient between sleep duration with different threshold setting was greater than 0.99, actual sleep duration differs 18 minute in an average. Kushida et al. reported the best sleep/awake threshold of Actiwatch for detecting wakefulness as "high-sensitivity" setting (20 counts per minutes) [3]. Peterson et al. adopted default sleep/awake sensitivity setting of Actiwatch, and described the overestimation of total sleep time and underestimation of wake-after sleep onset [4]. These reports present that level of sleep/awake threshold is important for estimating sleep duration by actigraphy.
Second, the numbers of subjects in each category of sleep duration seems useful information in their study. The authors described the mean value of sleep duration by survey sleep hours and by actigraph total sleep time were 7.5 hours and 7.2 hours, but the prevalence of fair/poor health in subjects with sleep duration >9 hours by survey sleep hours was two- fold higher than that by actigraph total sleep time. The correlation coefficient between sleep duration by survey sleep hours and by actigraph total sleep time was 0.29, and I suspect that some subjects with long sleep duration by actigraphy do not actually keep enough sleep duration.
Anyway, sleep polysomnography study is required to confirm the lack of U-shaped association between sleep duration and prevalence of fair/poor health.

Just moments ago, the New York Times reported that U.S. forces have begun bombing runs in the north of Iraq to give breathing space to threatened Yazidi refugees fleeing Islamic militants:
The Pentagon's press secretary is denying that report, however:
And CBS is reporting that northern airstrikes are possible soon to protect U.S. troops who have been working in the area.
More as it develops.

IHG Named Official Partner of NEC Series-PGA Tour Latinoamérica
Monday October 28th, 2013 - 11:53AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
ATLANTA—The PGA Tour and IHG have reached a three-year deal for a marketing relationship that, beginning immediately, makes IHG the official hotel partner of NEC Series-PGA Tour Latinoamérica.
The new designation builds upon IHG's existing relationship with the tour that includes the categories of official hotel and official resort of the PGA tour, Champions Tour and Web.com Tour. The latest series begins today in Bogota, Colombia.
There are 14 PGA Tour Latinoamérica events in nine countries, and with the new agreement IHG will have on-site branding at these events. IHG will also receive online presence via the Tour's tri-lingual website, which is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
IHG will work with tournaments and players in the NEC Series to provide rooms at exclusive rates at any participating IHG-branded hotels for its out-of town hotel needs during events. IHG has 200 hotels throughout Latin America, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Product Overview
Nothing is quite as it seems in this lush retelling of Dickens' classic coming-of-age story with colorful characters - conspirators, rogues, rakes, and wretches - and stunning performances by Gillian Anderson, David Suchet, Ray Winstone, Douglas Booth, and Vanessa Kirby. Young orphan Pip wants no more from life than to one day join his brother-in-law Joe at the blacksmith's forge. Until, that is, fate intervenes - twice. First, an escaped convict (Winstone) ambushes Pip in the marshes; and not long after, a wealthy, reclusive neighbor at the macabre Satis House - Miss Havisham (Andersen) - seeks Pip out as a playmate for her adopted daughter, Estella. Pip falls almost instantly in love with Estella, and realizes that he needs to be more than a simple blacksmith's apprentice if he ever hopes to win her. But Miss Havisham - a bride-to-be who was jilted at the altar years ago and still wears her wedding dress amidst the fossilized ruins of her wedding feast - has gone to great lengths to ensure that Estella will never so much as risk heartbreak, raising her more as a tool for vengeance than a child. But when Pip is mysteriously plucked from obscurity and lured to London by an anonymous benefactor hoping to make a gentleman out of him, he suddenly has unlimited wealth at his disposal - and true love in his future. Or so he thinks.

Hey Guys,
I wanted to have the designed testimonials on the about page and still have them rotating on my main page on the side bar on a different design.
I've been using

to try and change the widgets but it influences the instances in the about page as well.
You can have alook at
I couldn't leave the widget on the main page (NNN = 2) , as it looks bad. This is what I"m trying to fix.
