Chronic Kidney Disease
Topic Overview
You may start to have symptoms only a few months after your kidneys begin to fail. But most people don't have symptoms early on. In fact, many don't have symptoms for as long as 30 years or more. This is called the "silent" phase of the disease.
How well your kidneys work is called kidney function. As your kidney function gets worse, you may:
- Urinate less than normal.
- Have swelling and weight gain from fluid buildup in your tissues. This is called edema (say "ih-DEE-muh").
- Feel very tired or sleepy.
- Not feel hungry, or you may lose weight without trying.
- Often feel sick to your stomach (nauseated) or vomit.
- Have trouble sleeping.
- Have headaches or trouble thinking clearly.
Your doctor will do blood and urine tests to help find out how well your kidneys are working. These tests can show signs of kidney disease and anemia. (You can get anemia from having damaged kidneys.) You may have other tests to help rule out other problems that could cause your symptoms.
Your doctor will do tests that measure the amount of urea (BUN) and creatinine in your blood. These tests can help measure how well your kidneys are filtering your blood. As your kidney function gets worse, the amount of nitrogen (shown by the BUN test) and creatinine in your blood increases. The level of creatinine in your blood is used to find out the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The GFR is used to show how much kidney function you still have. The GFR is also used to find out the stage of your kidney disease and to guide decisions about treatment.
Your doctor will ask questions about any past kidney problems. He or she will also ask whether you have a family history of kidney disease and what medicines you take, both prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
You may have a test that lets your doctor look at a picture of your kidneys, such as an ultrasound or CT scan. These tests can help your doctor measure the size of your kidneys, estimate blood flow to the kidneys, and see if urine flow is blocked. In some cases, your doctor may take a tiny sample of kidney tissue (biopsy) to help find out what caused your kidney disease.

I have an array of
event objects called
events. Each
event has
markets, an array containing
market objects. Inside here there is another array called
outcomes, containing
outcome objects.
In this question, I asked for a [Underscore.js] way to find all of the events which have markets which have outcomes which have a property named
test. The answer was:
// filter where condition is true
_.filter(events, function(evt) {
// return true where condition is true for any market
return _.any(evt.markets, function(mkt) {
// return true where any outcome has a "test" property defined
return _.any(mkt.outcomes, function(outc) {
return outc.test !== "undefined" && outc.test !== "bar";
This works great, but I'm wondering how I would alter it if I wanted to filter the outcomes for each market, so that
market.outcomes only stored outcomes that were equal to
bar. Currently, this is just giving me markets which have outcomes which have some set
test properties. I want to strip out the ones that do not.

The Sales Executive Council (SEC) has found that salespeople behave in one of five ways, depending on the situation. Here's what they found.
(As you read this, ask yourself two questions: "Which am I?" and "Which is best?")
Those two questions again:
The SEC found that most salespeople were relationship builders. The idea being that the better someone likes you, the more likely they are to buy from you.
But they found that the most successful salespeople were challengers. In other words, those who provoke customer thinking.
So, whereas the relationship builder often seeks to agree with the customer to enhance the relationship; the challenger often seeks to disagree, to provoke discussion to ensure they arrive at the best solution.
The rationale here is: customers don't always know what's best for them. As Henry Ford famously said "If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse".
The simplest way to ensure you challenge others is to teach them something. To make them think "Well I'd never thought of it like that". When this happens, they see you as value-adding. And they want more of it. They seek you out again. Great for them; and for you.

Persuading people to do what you want is hard; especially if you aren't there to do it – which happens when someone has asked you to submit a written proposal.
Here are seven quick ways to make your proposals more persuasive:
You are more persuasive than any piece of paper could ever be. So, don't rely on your proposal to do your selling for you. Instead, make your proposals a confirmation, not an exploration.
In other words, agree your proposed solution verbally during your meetings with your prospect. Then use your proposal to confirm with her what you've already agreed.
This is much better than using your proposal to explore possibilities you haven't discussed with her yet. (A good check: you should be able to write "as discussed" before every sentence in your proposal).
Benefits: it's more likely to work; it's much quicker to write.
It's also important to agree with her what you'll write in the proposal. If you don't, you're guessing what she wants to read. And you'll be wrong. You'll write too much. And it'll take ages to think what to put in there. And, even then, she won't read much of it.
To bring this up in your meeting, simply say "I don't want to bore you by sending irrelevant information. So let's agree what the headings of the proposal will be".
How can she possibly refuse? She isn't going to say: "It's ok - be irrelevant".
Benefits: it's much quicker to write; she's more likely to open it instantly, because it contains exactly what she asked for.
If you've ever written a proposal, you'll have experienced the Black Hole of Doom that many proposals fall into. You send it. You don't hear back. You then worry - do you chase (and maybe annoy her) or wait (and feel powerless)?
The simplest way to resolve this: agree before sending it when you'll speak afterwards. Something like "So, I'll confirm what we've agreed in a proposal for you. When shall we speak again, to discuss it?"
Benefits: you keep momentum high; no Black Hole of Doom.
Most proposal titles are dull - "Our proposal" and the like. And the section titles can also be dull – "About us", "Our experience", "Our track record"…
But titles drive everything. They're a document's first impression. So they have to draw the reader in. You know this to be true – after all, if this wasn't the case, every article in every newspaper would have the title "More news".
For the title of your proposal, include her number one priority. So, if it's to increase market share in Belgium, call it "Proposal: how we'll increase your market share in Belgium".
For the sections, think what she'll find most interesting in that section, and put that in the title.
For example, I recently helped a large IT company win a £multi-million contract with a customer that wanted to improve their competitive advantage. We changed one section's title from "Our cutting-edge IT" to "How our cutting-edge IT will transform your competitive advantage" – much more interesting to the client.
Benefits: great first impression; the prospect reads everything.
If you email your proposal, she'll have read lots of things before even looking at it. Ensure they all impress:
Covering email title: Not just "Your proposal". Instead, something like "As discussed: our proposal about increasing your market share in Belgium".
Covering email: Make it short; after all, you want her to open the proposal. But it must be well written and benefits-rich; plus remind her of the follow-up you've already agreed.
Your attachment: The attachment file name will probably be similar to your email title. This is much better than a proposal file name I saw recently – "Proposal TS000625April15".
Benefits: great first impression (plus, you don't undo all the good work you've done so far.)
When people buy, they want certainty. So, help her visualise how things will go. Timelines work really well for this. They clearly show who is doing what, by when. And that, the sooner she agrees to go ahead, what will happen immediately. Always good for building pace.
Benefits: clarity of offering; injects pace into the process as she sees what she'll get the minute she says yes.
I know you think she'll print out your proposal, turn off her email, put the phone on divert, go into her favourite room with a cup of tea and devour it over many hours… But she won't.
It will be a skim-read, where she's searching for the content she's most interested in.
So, it must be easy to read quickly:
None of these seven approaches take more time than you currently spend on proposals. In fact, most reduce it.
So, seven ways to write better proposals… and in less time. Good for the customer; good for you.

Picture the scene: you're having dinner on your own in a restaurant and the person of your dreams walks in. They come over to you. There's good eye contact. You can feel a connection already.
Breathlessly, they whisper: "It's great to meet you. Tell me about yourself…"
How would you respond? Like this?
"Great to meet you too. Luckily, I've got this book with me (you ceremoniously whip the book from your pocket). It describes my family history in full — how many of us there are, all our names, the things that are different and interesting about us. It really is a One Stop Shop describing what's special about us… Hey, hold on, I haven't finished yet… Where are you going…? Don't go… Come back!"
Devastating. Your one chance to make a first impression — totally ruined.
Do you think that's a weird example? After all, nobody would behave like that when first meeting someone, would they?
So, why is it that some people feel it's essential to take a brochure with them to first meetings with potential customers?
They've never seen you before. They don't want to be reading stuff about you. They want a chat — one that you both find interesting and stimulating. One you both enjoy. And one that — like a first date — if things go well, leads to something much better for both of you.
So, when you're meeting someone for the first time, don't take a brochure (you wouldn't want to read theirs, so why would they want to read yours?)
Instead, prepare (in advance):
Since you've read this far, I guess you're finding this advice useful? So, while I've got you, let me just quickly show you my holiday photos… No, don't go… Please…

It's funny how coming out of the recession hasn't got nearly as much media coverage as when we went into it. Right now, savvy salespeople and companies are taking advantage of the upturn. But are you fully prepared?
If you're a salesperson, you need to have a written sales plan of how you're going to exceed your sales target. If you're a sales manager, you need to have a written sales plan. If you're a sales director, you need to have a written sales plan. If you're a business owner, you need to have a written sales plan. There is no excuse for not having a written sales plan.
The next step is to make sure you're focused. Most firms have had to be more focused than ever during the recession as they have faced a drop-off in enquiries and sales leads. This forced their sales team to concentrate harder on new opportunities and focus on how they were going to get it to convert into business.
If the market is starting to pick up, make sure you don't fall into the trap of taking those enquiries for granted — as some companies had done before the recession really hit them. If you're starting to get lots more enquiries, your sales plan will help you focus on the best opportunities, and the ones you and your team are most likely to convert.
This is an important point and one that's often missed. The important thing is to be aware of your energy levels. Back when I was a sales manager, I had one rep that truly was a morning person — jumping around at 8.30 in the morning, yet when 3pm came he was almost asleep!
We decided to play to his strengths and arranged his diary to take advantage of his energy levels. We made his new business activity (cold calls, new business appointments) in the morning, and existing client calls and paperwork in the afternoon. Month on month his sales went up 50%. Amazing.
Are you playing to the strengths of your team? Think about how to best use your resources right now and play to the strengths of your staff.
I've lost count of the times people have said to me, "We don't have time for prospecting/cold calling" or "I know I should have made some calls today, but things just got in the way".
There is no excuse for not prospecting. Sales managers continually get frustrated with salespeople who "ride the sales rollercoaster" — a good month, followed by a bad month, followed by a good month, followed by a bad month.
This is usually because the salesperson has become so busy dealing with their leads that they haven't had time for prospecting, which means less leads the following month — and that leads to a lack of sales.
Everyone should make time for prospecting. It should be the most important thing in your day. Too many salespeople don't prospect because it's easier to deal with existing customers but then they complain when they miss targets the following month.
Already this year, lots of companies have asked me to come in and help motivate their sales team. Companies that want to steal a march on their competitors are looking to get better results from their teams.
Motivation is vital to your success. Many firms make the mistake of assuming that their salespeople are already motivated. Yet in my experience, most salespeople generally work between 30-50% of their potential.
If you're a manager or a director, what steps are you taking right now to work on the motivation of your team? If you're the salesperson, what would it take for you to feel more motivated right now? And don't say "more money". That's known as commission!

Lead generation is vital for any business. I have tracked with interest the evolution of marketing automation companies and lead tracking technology providers. Lead generation software gives marketers incredible power to scale marketing to thousands and to track, nurture and ultimately convert interested followers into paying customers.
But while technology is great, when it comes to start-ups and small firms, I am concerned that lead nurturing technology actually confuses rather than helps. You don't need a Ferrari to collect your groceries when you can walk around the corner to the supermarket or order them online.
There is always the classic sales/marketing schism which runs like this: sales find that the leads they are provided with by marketing are no good, while marketing feel the leads were great but sales can't close them. Entrepreneurs don't have time for this.
I remember working with the ceo of a start-up who needed 12 trial customers within three months. I sat down with the sales director and asked how many leads they had in the pipeline. I also asked about the sales process. I then asked what key collateral was needed to help them close deals — case studies, fact sheets, press coverage, advocates. In this case, if marketing didn't support sales then after 12 weeks neither would exist.
I also worked for an enterprise workflow start-up vendor and the ceo asked me to draft the business plan to help secure funding. I was delighted, as I knew that the revenue targets would shape how many leads marketing had to generate which would, in turn, flow down to a series of tactics I could deliver.
It's not just about brand, share of voice, tone of message — it's about leads. Yes, you need to get the other metrics right. But my experience has told me that we must be united about leads. As Bruce Springsteen puts it, "If you don't stick together you won't stick around".
Once we have the leads, we need to work out which ones are really worth pursuing and which ones are time-wasters that will stall you. As entrepreneurs, we can't confuse interest with commitment.
Ultimately, we are after customers and once you have a lead you need to know what to do with it — play or pass. The other point to remember is that going for glory — and the time, effort and resources involved in chasing the one big name account — may not be worth as much as the lower hanging fruit, the deals that are easier to close and will generate cash more quickly.
Marc Duke is a marketing consultant.
So, what's the most useful business technique I could show you?
Well, I don't know. It depends on all sorts of things — your personality, your skills, your priorities, your current challenges. But if I could just ask you a few quick questions, I'd be able to tell you exactly what you most want to know.
Using the words "I don't know" in response to someone's question can often help you. It gives you the chance to ask more questions first — ones that will show you the best way to answer their original question. It also stops you saying the wrong things or losing the power in a conversation.
Here are other situations where saying "I don't know" could be extremely helpful:
All these examples help you regain control of the conversation. After all, if you answer their question before you have enough information, you'll be guessing. And guessing increases the chance of your answer being too long or irrelevant.
This is especially important for people who sell. The instant you give your price before discussing your value, people think you're too expensive. They're already thinking, "can you reduce it?".
A price doesn't make sense on its own. Here's a question for you: "Is £10,000 expensive?" It's impossible to say, isn't it? It depends what it's for. It's cheap for a Bentley; but exorbitant for a sandwich. So you first have to discuss what they're buying, and establish the value they perceive is in it. And the only way to do this is? Ask them what they perceive as valuable.

The Calbuco volcano in southern Chile is erupting for the first time in 42 years, spewing huge amounts of ash into the atmosphere and prompting evacuations across a 24-mile wide area. And the results are absolutely stunning.
Way back in 1816, Europe and North America suffered heavy rains, odd-colored snow, famines, fogs and bitter cold during the summer. It wasn't the apocalypse though—it was the result of a supervolcano eruption.
It's 2013. We've sent humans to the moon and can send trillions of gigabytes zipping around the world with the tap of finger, but still—still—we can't predict earthquakes. But we do know this: Messing around with a fault—injecting things in it, taking things out of it—can induce earthquakes.

Activation of Microcrystalline Cellulose in a CO2-Based Switchable System
MCC Hammer: Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is dissolved and subsequently regenerated in a CO2-based switchable solvent system, drastically reducing its crystallinity index and thereby its recalcitrance to hydrolysis. Among the investigated systems, based on cheap, widely available chemicals, is one capable of dissolving up to 15 wt % MCC within 1 h at room temperature. Break it down!

Released: Aug 01st, 2005
Running Time: 123
Director: Harry Palm
Company: Lethal Hardcore
Cast: Sledge Hammer, Victoria Sweet, Sophie Dee, Pamela Princess, Brian Pumper, Dulce (I), Brooklyn Night, Others
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
A pleasant assortment of pretty girls and an impressive assortment of black cocks will make this popular with the interracial crowd.
Cover girl Brooklyn Night chatters endlessly about how much she loves black cock, but she can't seem to keep her eyes on the one stuck in her mouth. She mellows out after her first facial and seems downright genuine by the time the cum is dripping off of her eyebrows.
Pamela Princess is less self-aware but hyper aware of the size of Sledge Hammer's love tool in proportion to the size of her asshole. Sophie Dee is far less fazed by the massive Hammer. Victoria Sweet is double-teamed by a dirty talking pair - and Dulce's extensive and sometimes athletic anal scene is the sweet cream topping on this chocolate swirl dessert.

A sediment toxicity test using reproduction in the tubificid oligochaete Tubifex tubifex was tested in 11 geographic locations in the Laurentian Great Lakes where sediments have previously been documented as being contaminated. Samples were taken from both potentially contaminated and "clean" sites in each of the 11 areas. Using test endpoints such as survival and growth, results from 72 samples were classified using cluster and ordination techniques. Six response groups were identified and four groups of toxic sites determined. Toxic effects ranged from mortality of adult worms to reduced reproduction. Using correlation and discriminant analysis there was good evidence that high concentrations of metals such as copper and lead were responsible for the observed effects at some sites.

Posted on 07/13/2004 9:27:08 AM PDT by KMC1
NEW YORK - There was quite the toy "furor" over Barbie's end of her relationship with longtime Ken. Mattel has moved her on to her new friend Blane. But if one toymaker has their way - Barbie might be inclined to meet Bobbie.
The NY papers had the story...the "Bobbie" doll was developed by a woman who last her wrote a thesis on the pressing and most important issue of why lesbians are so "under represented in pop culture".
(Excerpt) Read more at kmclive.com ...
Is it just me or do ya'll hear the four horsemen saddling up for their ride too.
I'll bet she doesn't watch Howard Stern.
Barbie going bi-sexual? Not unless she cuts her hair boy-short, stops shaving her legs, and starts shopping at the local thrift store.
If "Bobbie" is butch would that make Barbie a lipstick lesbian?
What next? Pink baseball gloves for Little Leaguers?
remember the "my buddy" dolls for boys? they did real well, didn't they?
My sis-in-law was a jerk from day one. she bought one for each of their two boys. neither would be caught dead with it.
If the gays were after our children, wouldn't they try to get into the public schools and scouting???
* Required sarcasm tag.....All sarcasm requires this tag. No sarcasm can be sufficiently obvious for some people.....
Why are lesbians underrepresented in pop culture? Because they're disgusting.
What adult still plays with dolls???
Never mind .... I don't want to know
Does this mean GI Joe goes "Queer"?
Oh yeah.
Allow me to take this opportunity to air the AQGeiger definition of a feminist: a woman who's simply angry about not getting anything in the sack.
Add 100,000,000,000 more votes for the Marriage Amendment and Conservative Republican candidates.
Go for the homosexual Barbie. We appreciate the votes.
"Don't ask, Don't tell" Joe?
I'll bet she doesn't watch Howard Stern.
ok...the pressing and most important issue of why butt ugly lesbians are so "under represented in pop culture". ;>
" Required sarcasm tag.....All sarcasm requires this tag. No sarcasm can be sufficiently obvious for some people....."
LOL! Dont ol' Iron Matron know that!? LOL!
First there was Malibu Barbie
Now there will be either Massachusetts Barbie or San Francisco Barbie
These Barbies will come with their own spouse Bobbie doll and a miniture marriage license.
Just what every little girl needs in our permissive society(/sarcasm)
What's that whistling sound? It's Matel stock plumetting at terminal velocity.
Mattel is trading at $16.70 today - down from $17.60 as of 7/7/04.
Mattel downgraded amid 'sluggish' Barbie sales (MAT) By Tomi Kilgore
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Mattel (MAT) was downgraded to "sell" from "neutral" at Banc of America as the company's turnaround appears to be longer and more expensive than initially projected. Analyst Gary Cooper cut his price target to $13 from $18.50, and trimmed his 2004 and 2005 earnings forecasts. He sees evidence that Barbie sales are still "sluggish" and margins are expected to decline. Cooper also sees other headwinds facing the industry, such as the recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar, potential cost pressures from the floating of the Chinese yuan, high commodity costs and competition. The stock closed Tuesday down 15 cents at $17.93.
Sounds like Barbie needs to get a real man! GI Joe has been in Iraq for quite some time......
I remember the "My Buddy" dolls. Later thought they were the model for the Chucky movies.
My sister-in-law is a nurse.
Homosexuals go through a lot of antibiotics because of intestinal infections. They get them by shoving strange foreign objects up their............
You figure it out. Barbie would be a perfect object for a lesbian.
She's witnessed the removal of toy cars, pens, marbles, vegetables, unidentifiable chemicals.........It's that S&M stuff they're into.
my sis=-in-law was the only person I ever knew who was dumb/PC enough to buy these silly things.
so perhaps they were;-)
If people like this were any kind of reflection of our ancestors, there would be no industrial age, no farming communities, no ships at sea. However, everyone would know exactly and with great precision what that look from that person across the community fire really meant, whether it was a "I like you look" or "I'm kind of iffy on how you much I like you" or "You smell really bad," as they ate their dinner of fruits and berries (no meat for these folks!).
I remeber "My Buddy" he was always the victim of a mugging or two with a baseball bat in my neighbourhood...when we got bigger the poor tike was a popular archery target and eventually had a "fireworks" accident...
Yeah, we were bad, we broke, burned and blew up all our toys...
This reminds me of a joke. A boy finds his sister playing with his GI Joes and her Barbies. He says, "Why don't you play with your Ken instead, Barbie comes with him anyway." She says, "Not true, she is only faking. She wants a real man."
any gerbils?
my brother's kids just ignored them. the younger one played with his one time, IIRC.
Santa: What do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas?
Girl: A Barbie doll, and G.I. Joe.
Santa: But, I thought Barbie comes with Ken.
Girl: No. Barbie comes with G.I. Joe. She only fakes it with ken.
Could be the people don't want the human race to go extinct.
I saw an official Mattel Barbie the other day that I thought had in big letters Call Girl Barbie
This was not in a toy story but a supermarket
But you had to look closer to see because of the letter fount it was really Cali Girl Barbie .
I got the clear impression that the misleading letter fount/name combo was deliberate on Mattel's part to get the adult double take in the supermarket
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Please add to your ping list. Thank you.
Ahh the Apoclypse.
Personally I'm expecting the chastisement not the apolocpyse; just as painful but only temporary.
So...does this mean Skipper is now Barbie's B!tch?
If Ken was smart, he'd get a tripod. 8^)
Don't ask, don't tell.
Apparently, lesbians do. And you don't want to know what they do with them.
Those people are sick
Been hearing that for quite some time now.....

Australia Dollar Falls as Slowing Inflation Spurs Rate-Cut Bets
The Australian dollar declined for a second day against its U.S. counterpart after a report showing slower growth in consumer prices fueled speculation that the Reserve Bank will cut interest rates.
The Aussie weakened against the majority of its 16 most-traded peers as raw materials fell for the first time in four days. New Zealand's dollar, nicknamed the kiwi, fell versus the yen and dollar after a private report showed business confidence declined in October.
"Bets for a precautionary rate cut by the RBA have increased, and that's why we're seeing some selling of the Australian dollar," said Thomas Averill, a director at the currency and interest-rate risk management company Rochford Capital in Sydney.
The Australian dollar dropped 0.8 percent to $1.0349 at 12:37 p.m. New York time. It sank 0.8 percent to 78.71 yen. The New Zealand dollar depreciated 0.6 percent to 60.29 yen. It declined 0.6 percent to 79.27 U.S. cents.
The Standard & Poor's GSCI Index of 24 raw materials dropped 1 percent in its first decline since Oct. 20.
Australia's consumer price index rose 0.6 percent in the third quarter from the previous three months, when it gained 0.9 percent, the Bureau of Statistics said in Sydney today. Core inflation, as measured by the central bank's so-called trimmed mean gauge, rose 0.3 percent from the previous quarter and 2.3 percent from a year earlier. Economists forecast a quarter-to-quarter gain of 0.6 percent and an annual rise of 2.7 percent.
Rate Bets
Traders are betting the Reserve Bank of Australia will lower its key interest rate by 121 basis points, or 1.21 percentage points, over the next 12 months, according to a Credit Suisse Group AG index based on swaps. That compared with wagers yesterday for 102 basis points of easing.
A report showed business confidence declined in New Zealand. A net 13.2 percent of companies expect the economy will improve over the next 12 months, down from 30.3 percent in September, according to a survey by ANZ National Bank Ltd.

Brand Story
In 1856 an American entreprenuer, Henry Lee Norris, acquired a block of buildings in Edinburgh to use as a boot making factory. From four starting staff, the company had grown to 600 people by 1875.
With the advent of World War I, the demand for wellington boots grew dramatically. The company was asked by the War Office to design a sturdy boot suitable for trench warfare. By the end of the war, they had produced nearly 1.2 million pairs of trench boots.
Hunter was called upon again in World War II, supplying huge numbers of wellington and thigh boots. After the war, they moved to a larger factory in Heathhall Dumfries to meet the rising demand.
Hunter's iconic design, the original Green Wellington, was first made in the winter of 1955. It was the company's first orthopedic boot, and continues to be a popular design to this day. Hunter's wide range are favourites for festival-goers, farmers, gardeners, and people who just want to look stylish as well as keeping dry.

Russia's Medvedev Hits Ukraine President's Pro-West Stance
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev launched a stinging attack on the pro-Western policies of his Ukrainian counterpart, Viktor Yushchenko, urging the next president to adopt a more Moscow-friendly course.
Mr. Medvedev's letter to the Ukrainian president, which was published on the Kremlin Web site, was widely seen in Kiev as an intervention in campaigning for the elections on Jan. 17.
It is a policy that backfired for Moscow in Ukraine's last presidential elections in 2004, when the Kremlin gave overt support to pro-Russian candidate Viktor Yanukovych, whose initial victory was overturned after mass protests -- known as the Orange Revolution -- against vote rigging.
Relations since then have deteriorated as Mr. Yushchenko has taken a pro-Western course, infuriating Moscow with his attempts to bring Ukraine into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union, and his open support for Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili during the Russia-Georgia war in South Ossetia last year.
In the letter, Mr. Medvedev blamed Mr. Yushchenko for the worsening relations, which have seen recent tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions. He wrote that Kiev's "anti-Russian course" meant he would postpone sending Russia's new ambassador until there are "real developments in Russian-Ukrainian relations."
He also accused the Ukrainian leader of threatening Europe's energy security. Twice in recent years gas supplies to Europe have been disrupted by spats between the two countries, leading to accusations that Moscow uses gas as a political weapon. Mr. Medvedev called for tighter relations between two countries that are "not just neighbors, but brotherly nations."
He wrote that "in Russia we hope that the new political leadership of Ukraine will be prepared to build relations between our countries that will in practice correspond to the genuine hopes of our nations, and the interests of European security."
Mr. Yushchenko gave no response to the letter, although the acting foreign minister said he was "disappointed" at the decision to delay the arrival of Russia's ambassador.
Analysts said Mr. Medvedev's intervention recalled attempts to sway voters in 2004. Moscow maintains widespread influence in its neighbor, where 17% of the population is ethnic Russian and a sizable minority considers Russian its first language.
Mr. Yushchenko has tried to fan Ukrainian national consciousness with such endeavors as promoting its language and historical figures who fought for independence. But Mr. Yushchenko's popularity has plummeted as Ukrainians blame him for failing to push through promised reforms and tackle endemic corruption.

Lawmakers Want to Stop Fee-for-Service Medicare Payments
The chairmen of the U.S. House Ways and Means and the Senate Finance committees want to phase out the way Medicare pays doctors for their services.
They're proposing a gradual change to a new system along with a pay freeze and incentives to give up fee-for-service billing.
"Enough with the quick fixes. Our proposal is for a new physician payment system that rewards value over volume," Senator Max Baucus of Montana said in a statement. "It will go a long way in improving the efficiency and quality of care for America's seniors."
The proposal by Democrat Baucus and his Republican counterpart, Representative Dave Camp of Michigan, would freeze physician payment rates for 10 years and give doctors bonuses for agreeing to accept certain percentages of Medicare revenue through the alternative payment methods.
Doctors would be encouraged to use shared-savings programs and to bundle medical services through a single team, Bloomberg BNA reported.
Doctors would get a 5 percent bonus each year from 2016 through 2021 if "a significant share of their revenues" comes from these alternatives, according to a discussion draft distributed by the committees.
After 2023, doctors who opt for alternative payment systems would get a 2 percent increase in reimbursement each year, according to the draft. Doctors who opt to continue to be paid according to Medicare's fee-for-service system would get a 1 percent annual increase in reimbursement.
Seeking Value
"It's looking for better value, less emphasis on volume, more emphasis on quality, which is good," Senator Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, said after a Senate briefing on the Baucus-Camp plan.
The chairmen have asked medical groups to provide their comments on the proposal by Nov. 12, according to the Bloomberg BNA report.
Coming after partisan disagreements so great that the U.S. government was partially shut down earlier this month, the cross-party cooperation by the two chairmen increases the prospects of the plan's success.
Their goal is to replace the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR), a formula enacted as part of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 to curb the growth in health-care costs.
That formula has led Congress to vote each year since 2003 -- and sometimes more than annually -- on a "doc fix" that has prevented decreases in Medicare's physician reimbursements, which would discourage doctors from participation. Medicare is the government's health-care program for people 65 and older and for people under 65 with certain disabilities.
No Freeze
Earlier this year, a different House committee put together its own proposal for breaking the "doc fix" cycle. Instead of freezing payments, that legislation, H.R. 2810, would allow annual increases of 0.5 percent over five years, according to the Bloomberg BNA report.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated in February that it would cost $138 billion in the next 10 years to keep reimbursement rates at the current level. Lower health-care costs have reduced the agency's 10-year estimate, which was $245 billion last year -- one reason that permanently fixing the formula has become more popular.
Under the SGR, Medicare's reimbursements for medical care are scheduled to be reduced by more than 24 percent on Jan. 1, 2014, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
There were 215,919 primary-care physicians in the U.S. treating Medicare fee-for-service patients in 2012, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which is part of HHS. The average primary-care physician got about 25 percent of his or her revenue from Medicare patients in 2012, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Camp and Baucus aren't including in their proposal any additional mechanism to offset additional government costs, lawmakers said.

Can I make just the background of a picture semi-transparent while leaving the two people opaque? I have tried many things, but it keeps making the entire background completely transparent. Please help. Trying to make an anniversary gift for hubby.
There are 2 ways to do this in a non-destructive way. Non destructive means if you mess it up, you can easily undo it (nothing is lost).
Method 1 is with a layer mask, method 2 is with a vector mask. Vector mask results in cleaner sharper edges, but it takes a longer time and isn't well suited for any soft edges like fuzzy hair.
Here is one way to it with a layer mask in Photoshop.
Using a mask is always better practice than deleting or erasing. This is because nothing is ever lost for good, you can always paint it back.

Aspirin, Q-Tips and a New You
Drugstores Try to Sell Glamour, Offering Cosmetics Boutiques, Facials, 'Eyebrow Bars'
Makeup is all about promises: glamour, youthfulness, boldness or escape. The makeup counters of beauty retailers are carefully designed to conjure up visions of transformation for the women who shop there.
Now, drugstores are trying to do the same thing.
In Duane Reade's new in-store beauty centers, trained makeup artists in aprons help customers pick between blushes and bronzers, offering advice like "There are no rules in makeup." The "Look Boutiques" feature walls of brightly lit shelves, $20-plus makeup brushes in Lucite cases, and displays with beauty-counter lighting where customers can linger, get their skin analyzed or try on lipsticks. A perfume bar allows shoppers to sample scents such as "Frozen Margarita" and "Green Tea" from Demeter, a brand that until recently was sold at Bloomingdale's.
Duane Reade, a New York City-based drugstore chain, is one of several mass-market retailers, including CVS Pharmacy and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., that are glamming up their makeup sections, betting that women are willing to splurge on beauty in the same store where they pick up toilet paper and cotton swabs. The stores are sprucing up displays, adding lights to shelves, creating weeks-long training programs for their "beauty advisers" or offering facials and massages on-site.
In addition to mass-market brands like Revlon and L'Oréal, they are stocking independent brands like 'Tini Beauty and POP Beauty—makeup which tends to cost more than Maybelline and CoverGirl, but has cool, sophisticated packaging and trendy colors. Lip gloss from 'Tini costs $16.50, compared with CoverGirl's range of $5.99 to $8.99.
At a Duane Reade in Manhattan last week, Maureen Duffy was getting a midday makeover. Ms. Duffy, 47, a Lehman Bros. vice president who is on the company's bankruptcy team, would return to the office from her lunch break wearing fresh blush, lipstick and mascara, and smelling sweetly of powder. "I love coming here," she said.
Fans of upscale cosmetics have long associated drugstore makeup with dingy, crowded rows of lipsticks in colors suitable for Grandma. A big downside was that shoppers couldn't try on the product—part of what makes makeup shopping fun. But as women are shopping less at department stores and more frequently at cheaper, more convenient alternatives, mass retailers have seen an opportunity to woo cosmetics shoppers.
The drugstores have successful models in Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada, as well as Boots, a drugstore chain based in the U.K. These companies years ago integrated a boutique feel and a higher-end product selection into the traditional drugstore format.
U.S. drugstores were slow to follow, in part because luxury cosmetics brands had powerful relationships with department stores and worried that selling in mass-market stores would cheapen their glamorous images. But the success of multibrand beauty chains like Sephora has shown that women are willing to shop for pricey makeup outside of department stores.
Of course, drugstores, which haven't been known for presentation, will need to keep the displays attractive to make the push successful in the long term. Also, they will need to keep up with fast-changing trends in cosmetics. Paper towels never go out of style; blue nail polish does.
Some prestige brands aren't impressed by the dressed-up drugstores. Duane Reade's Look Boutiques are carrying Beautiful and Pleasures, fragrances from Estée Lauder Cos. that have long been associated with department stores. But Duane Reade buys them through a distributor. Estée Lauder said in a statement: "We do not sell any Estée Lauder brand products directly into this channel. Unfortunately there are some retailers who obtain our products from diverted sources. We are vigilant in our efforts to stop diversion of our products." It declined to discuss drugstore sales.
Duane Reade declined to comment on Estée Lauder's statement.
Wal-Mart, which is advertising in Vogue and Elle, has secured exclusive rights to the brand name Hard Candy—a cosmetic company founded in 1995 that is credited with creating the market for unusual shades of nail polish—and has developed its own creations under the name. By making Hard Candy into an in-house brand, the retailer avoided the need to convince a prestige brand to be among the first to sell at Wal-Mart.
Demand for Hard Candy products has been so strong that Wal-Mart now stocks the brand in 3,000 stores, up from 200 in October, says Carmen Bauza, Wal-Mart's vice president of beauty. "Reaction has been so positive," she says. "Now, prestige brands are now coming to us. That is a shift."
CVS Caremark Corp. is protecting the image of its new Beauty 360 boutiques by keeping them separate from CVS Pharmacy. There are almost 25 stores, mostly in California with a Zen, spa-like design and a menu of services that includes massage and facials. "We are absolutely rolling more out," says Cheryl Mahoney, CVS Pharmacy's vice president for beauty. Ms. Mahoney says that Beauty 360 is creating a new clientele, noting that 43% of Beauty 360's customers hadn't bought cosmetics, skin care or fragrances at CVS in the past 12 months.
CVS's Beauty 360 boutiques aren't even inside the drugstore; the stores are adjacent and connected. Also, CVS isn't mentioned anywhere on the main page of Beauty 360's Web site.
Laura Geller, founder of an eponymous makeup line that had been available mostly at Sephora and Macy's, says she was approached by CVS in 2008, before Beauty 360 launched. "It took me time to be convinced that it was a separate concept from their drug store. I am a prestige brand," she says. She was swayed by market research showing how eager women were to buy high-end makeup in retail outlets that were more convenient, accessible and inexpensive than department stores. The "clincher," she says, came when she saw the building plans: "I was getting great real estate and stores were going to be beautiful," she says.
Stores with Look Boutiques—which tend to be in busy areas—log 10% more buying customers than Duane Reades without the new cosmetics sections, a spokeswoman says. "Women want the latest products at a reasonable place, and more than that they want convenience," said Joe Magnacca, Duane Reade's chief merchandising officer, as he walked past a recently spruced-up greeting-card section near the makeup.
Walgreen Co. announced in February an agreement to buy the Duane Reade chain, which has more than 250 stores, for about $1.1 billion. The company declined, through a spokesman, to discuss its plans for Look Boutiques. But Bryan Pugh, Walgreen's vice president of merchandising, says, "Seventy-five percent of our transactions come from female clients, and we work to cater to that female shopper."

Last Thursday at lunchtime, there was a swarm of women in Duane Reade, and they weren't there to buy aspirin. One woman was surveying the racks of nail polish. Another was consulting with a beauty adviser about whether or not she needed an anti-aging serum, a hydrating moisturizer or both. A third was getting her eyebrows tweezed at the 'Eyebrow Bar.'
Checking out the displays of moisturizers was Diana Rodriguez. "This is like a department store without the pushy salespeople," she said. Ms. Rodriguez works a few blocks away, for Avon Products Inc., the direct-to-consumer cosmetics company. She knows makeup. "This will be a hot spot for me," she said. "This may be dangerous."
