Objective: To study the effectiveness of intrauterine anesthesia for pain relief during fractional curettage.
Methods: A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 66 patients with abnormal uterine bleeding undergoing fractional curettage under paracervical block, using 10-mL 1% lidocaine plus intrauterine 5-mL 2% lidocaine (n = 33) or saline (n = 33). The primary outcome was the maximum pain score measured with a 10-cm visual analog scale. Other outcomes measured included pain profile, number of patients with pain score more than 4, each patient's global satisfaction index, adverse events, and serum lidocaine profile.
Results: The 2 groups were comparable in age, body mass index, education, socioeconomic status, menopausal status, and parity. Compared with the saline group, the lidocaine group had a significantly lower median value for the maximum pain score (2.3 versus 4.7, P = .022) and fewer patients with a pain score more than 4 (33.3% versus 60.6%, P = .026). The pain scores were lower at the endocervical curettage and the uterine curettage steps. There was no difference between the 2 groups in other outcomes. The number needed to treat to prevent a case with a pain score more than 4 was 3.7 (95% confidence interval 2.4–38.5).
Conclusion: The addition of intrauterine anesthesia to paracervical block can further reduce pain during fractional curettage without increasing adverse effects.
Level of Evidence: I
Fractional curettage is a common procedure for investigating causes of abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal women in developing countries. Fractional curettage is usually performed under a local anesthesia, paracervical block, which has been used for minor gynecologic procedures since 1925.1 The paracervical block is shown to be effective for pain reduction during fractional curettage, but the pain intensity under paracervical block is still considered moderate pain.2,3 The reason that paracervical block cannot totally alleviate the pain during fractional curettage can be partly explained by the neuroanatomy of the uterus and cervix.4,5 The paracervical block relieves pain in the lower part of the uterus and cervix by blocking nerve impulses that are conveyed through the uterovaginal plexus, but it may not be effective for pain in the upper part of the uterus, which has a different innervation. Intrauterine anesthesia, by infusion of local anesthesia into the uterine cavity, has theoretical action by blocking nerve endings in the uterine corpus and fundus. The effectiveness of intrauterine anesthesia for pain relief in gynecologic procedures that involve the uterine cavity has been demonstrated in many studies.6–9 It is logical to add intrauterine anesthesia to the paracervical block to enhance the anesthetic effect.
The main objective of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of the paracervical block plus intrauterine anesthesia with the paracervical block alone for the reduction of a maximum pain score during fractional curettage. Moreover, other outcomes, including pain profile during fractional curettage, number of patients with pain score more than 4 cm, patients' global satisfaction, types and incidence of adverse events, and serum lidocaine profile were also reported.
A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was carried out in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles stated in the most recent version of the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by institutional review board of the faculty.
The study population consisted of women with abnormal uterine bleeding who were scheduled for fractional curettage, excluding patients who were virgins or those who had the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status class more than II, genital organ infection, profuse uterine bleeding, a history of lidocaine hypersensitivity, a history of impaired liver function, pregnant, or unable to understand how to score a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) pain score. Eligible patients were informed about the study protocol and invited to participate in the study without coercion. A signed informed consent was obtained before taking demographic data.
Patients were allocated to either control or experimental groups by simple randomization. An investigator who was not involved with the recruitment produced experiment codes using a computer-generated list of random numbers. The codes were individually contained in a sealed opaque envelope, which was sequentially numbered. An independent nurse who had no contact with the participants opened the envelope and prepared the trial medications accordingly.
The trial medication was intrauterine anesthesia, either 5-mL 0.9% saline for the control group or 5-mL 2% lidocaine (Xylocaine, AstraZeneca, Bangkok, Thailand) for the experimental group. The trial medications were identical in physical appearance (ie, a clear colorless solution) and were contained in identical 10-mL disposable syringes without labeling. Therefore, the gynecologist who performed fractional curettage, the nurse who monitored the patients, and the patients were blinded to the experiment. The administration of anesthesia and fractional curettage was performed by the same gynecologist (M.R.) to minimize risk and technical variation.
The operative procedures were performed under the aseptic technique as described in the following. The patient was placed in a modified lithotomy position. Pulse, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation (SpO2) were continuously monitored using Life Scope, model OPV-1500K (Nikon Kohden Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). A heparin lock using a 20-gauge venous catheter was inserted into a superficial vein of the nondominant hand for drawing blood samples and for safety purposes. The paracervical block technique was modified from previous reports.2 Briefly, 5 mL of 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine was injected through a 23-gauge spinal needle at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions of the cervicovaginal reflection at approximately 1 cm depth. The intrauterine anesthesia was provided immediately after the paracervical block. The trial medication was gently instilled into the uterine cavity through a 2-inch, 18-gauge venous catheter inserted through the cervical canal until its hub plugged into the cervical os. The catheter was left in that position for 3 minutes to prevent a back flow of the instilled solution and to allow 3-minute contact time. The fractional curettage was accomplished through the following steps: The anterior lip of the cervix was grasped with a single-toothed tenaculum; the endocervical curettage was performed using a Sims curette no. 00 (5 mm in the greatest diameter); the cervix was dilated to Hegar no. 5 if necessary; the uterine depth was measured using a sound device; and then the uterine curettage was performed using the same curette. The patients were observed for 60 minutes in a recovery room. Pulse, blood pressure, and SpO2 were continuously monitored and manually recorded immediately after the insertion of the retractor, the paracervical block, the intrauterine anesthesia, the endocervical curettage, the uterine curettage, and at 15, 30, and 60 minutes postoperation. All possible adverse effects were observed and recorded until the patients were discharged. Follow-up appointments were scheduled 14 days after the operation.
The primary outcome was a maximum pain score assessed by 10-cm VAS. The pain score was measured immediately after the insertion of the retractor, the endocervical curettage, the uterine curettage, and at 15, 30, and 60 minutes postoperation. In case the patient had intolerable pain, the procedure was terminated immediately, and the pain score was recorded. A rescue analgesic medication (intravenous fentanyl 1–2 μg/kg) was provided at the patient's request. The secondary outcomes included the number of patients who had a maximum pain score more than 4, the requirement of rescue medication, the success rate of fractional curettage, each patient's global satisfaction index, the preferred anesthesia for future fractional curettage, and the immediate and delayed adverse events. Venous blood samples were taken before and at 15, 30, and 60 minutes after the paracervical block. Serum was separated and frozen at –20°C until assayed for a serum lidocaine concentration using a high-performance liquid chromatography under a technique previously reported.10
Sample size was calculated with the formula for comparing means of 2 independent populations under the following conditions: type I error = 0.05 (2-sided), type II error = 0.1 (power= 90%), meaningful difference between the control and experimental groups in the maximum pain score assessed by 10-cm VAS = 2 cm,11 standard deviation of 10-cm VAS pain score in Thai patients undergoing fractional curettage under paracervical block = 2.4 cm,3 and with the assumption of equal variance. The sample size in each group was 31 cases. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 11.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL).
Analyses of the efficacy outcomes were based on both intent-to-treat and per-protocol population. All tests of hypotheses were conducted at the 2-sided and 0.05 level of significance. Continuous data were tested for normality using histogram, normal Q-Q plot, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Because the pain score was not normally distributed, the Mann-Whitney U test and the Freidman nonparametric 2-way analysis of variance12 were used to examine the differences between the study groups in the maximum pain score and the pain profile, respectively. The Student t test and the χ2 test (or Fisher exact test, as appropriate) were used to analyze continuous and categorical data, respectively. The repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to analyze profiles of pulse, blood pressure, and SpO2.
The number needed to treat and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated based on the absolute risk reduction (ARR): NNT = 1/ARR; whereas the absolute risk reduction was the reduction in the proportion of the patients who had a pain score greater than 4 in the experimental group compared with that in the control group. The number needed to treat was calculated from a secondary outcome, because the proportion of the patients with a pain score greater than 4 had clinical importance in that the patients should be treated.13
Patients were recruited from April to October 2003. Seventy eligible patients were enrolled (Fig. 1); 4 patients were excluded according to the exclusion criteria (3 cases due to profuse uterine bleeding, and 1 case due to pyometra). Therefore, 33 patients were allocated to each group. There were another 2 patients, one in each group, who were both excluded due to spillage of the anesthetic agent during paracervical block, and which led to receiving an extra dose of lidocaine. As a result, these 2 patients were not treated according to the protocol, and their pain was unable to be evaluated in the same fashion as the other patients. These 2 patients were excluded from the per-protocol analysis but included in the intent-to-treat analysis using median, minimum and maximum imputation of pain scores.
The two groups were comparable in age, body mass index, education, socioeconomic status, menopausal status, parity, uterine depth, and pathological diagnosis (Table 1). The experimental group had more cases with a history of prior curettage and more procedures needing cervical dilation than the control group.
The intent-to-treat analysis using median imputation (Table 2) demonstrated that the median value of the maximum pain score was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (2.3 versus 4.7 cm, P = .022). The proportion of patients with a pain score greater than 4 cm was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (33.3% versus 60.6%, P = .026). The absolute risk reduction was 27.3% (95% CI 2.6–41.5%) and the number needed to treat was 3.7 (95% CI 2.4–38.5). The intent-to-treat analyses using maximum and minimum imputations and the per-protocol analysis also gave results similar to the above outcomes. The pain profile during the procedure (Fig. 2) demonstrated that the experimental group had statistically significantly less pain (P = .035), especially at the endocervical curettage and the uterine curettage steps (P = .005 and 0.021, respectively). There was no difference between the 2 groups in the success rate of fractional curettage, the patients' global satisfaction index, and the preferred anesthesia for future fractional curettage (Table 2). None of the patients requested termination of fractional curettage or the rescue medication. The per-protocol analysis of the secondary outcomes demonstrated similar results.
Safety monitoring during the procedure (Fig. 3) showed no difference between the 2 groups in the profiles of pulse rate (P = .201), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP; P = .954), and oxygen saturation (SpO2; P = .452). The pulse rate and MAP slightly increased during administration of the anesthesia and then decreased to lower than the baseline. None of the patients had a pulse rate less than 60 beats per minute (bpm) or MAP less than 70 mm Hg. The SpO2 during the operation and the postoperative period did not change from the baseline. The types and incidences of immediate or delayed adverse events were similar in both groups (Table 2).
The serum lidocaine level was not different between the 2 groups at any time point (Fig. 4). The majority of patients had lidocaine concentration less than 3 μg/mL at 15 minutes after paracervical block. Of note, more than 50% of the blood samples had a lidocaine concentration less than the detectable level of 1 μg/mL. The highest lidocaine level, which was 4.99 μg/mL, was found in a control group case.
Previous studies reported either a positive or null effect of intrauterine anesthesia for pain relief during various gynecologic procedures. Intrauterine anesthesia seems to be effective in postmenopausal women and with procedures using small-diameter flexible instruments,6–9 but it is not effective in procedures using large-diameter rigid instruments.14–18 It is possible that the cervical pain caused by the latter instruments masks the anesthetic effect of the intrauterine anesthesia. Therefore, in the present study, the blocking of pain at both the cervix and the corpus could demonstrate overall pain relief during the fractional curettage. The effect had both statistical significance and clinical importance as shown by the significant reduction in the proportion of patients who had a pain score greater than 4. The positive effect of the intrauterine anesthesia was present even though the experimental group was confounded with factors that had negative impacts on the results (ie, more patients with history of prior uterine curettage and more procedures needing cervical dilation).
The addition of intrauterine anesthesia enhanced the anesthetic effects of a paracervical block without increasing the incidence of adverse effects. In the present study, adverse effects occurred in fewer than 30% of the patients. All of the adverse effects were mild and resolved within a few minutes. The most common adverse effect found in the present study was cardiovascular stimulation, including palpitations and an increase in blood pressure. These adverse effects were not typical of lidocaine, which usually causes bradycardia and hypotension.19,20 The cardiovascular stimulation in the present study would be the adverse effect of epinephrine supplemented in the lidocaine solution for paracervical block to slow the absorption rate and to reduce the toxic effects of lidocaine. In spite of these benefits, the anesthetic agents with epinephrine should not be used in the patients with cardiovascular risks.
In the present study the dosage of lidocaine in the control group was 100 mg. The highest blood level was 4.99 μg/mL, which was less than the toxic level of 8.7 μg/mL.21 The addition of 100 mg lidocaine intrauterinely did not affect the maximum blood level, implying that the systemic absorption of the intrauterine lidocaine was at a negligible level. The findings were different from those reported by Edelman et al,17 who demonstrated that the intrauterine lidocaine significantly increased serum lidocaine levels during the termination of a first-trimester pregnancy. It was possible that intrauterine absorption in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding was much lower than that in pregnant women. Moreover, the paracervical block using lidocaine supplemented with epinephrine might constrict the blood vessels around the uterus. As a consequence, the intrauterine absorption was further reduced.
The incremental cost incurred from the intrauterine anesthesia in the present study was approximately 3 U.S. dollars. The cost was calculated from charges for one vial of 2% lidocaine, a disposable syringe, a venous catheter, and a drawing needle. Although charge is not equal to acquisition cost, the 2 numbers would be nearly equal in a nonprofit hospital. The incremental cost calculated via this means would add approximately 10% to the total expense that the patient had to pay for the fractional curettage at Siriraj Hospital. Because the number needed to treat was approximately 4, an incremental medical care cost to prevent a case with a pain score greater than 4 was 12 U.S. dollars.
In conclusion, the combination of paracervical block and intrauterine anesthesia is more effective than paracervical block alone in the reduction of maximum pain during fractional curettage. The addition of intrauterine anesthesia does not increase the adverse effects of paracervical block. Although the addition of intrauterine anesthesia, using 2% lidocaine, seemed not to increase the adverse effects over those of paracervical block alone, it would be safer if the total dose of lidocaine could be reduced. Therefore, further study to evaluate the effectiveness of intrauterine anesthesia, using a lower dose of lidocaine (either a lower concentration or less volume) or another technique of paracervical block (eg, Glick technique) is recommended.

I took the kaplan SAT prep class last summer. it's all right. I'm not sure how much it helped me but it pushed me to study and practice. SAT prep classes do cost a lot, but if you find it hard to make yourself study it's worth taking it in my opinion.
most people I knew took the PR prep class. I think either kaplan or PR is fine (if you decide to take a prep class)...it's really up to you how well you want to do and how willing you are to practice as much as necessary to reach your goals. =)

Patients of member dentists of the Massachusetts Dental Society (MDS) expect the best care. When a patient is unhappy with his or her dental treatment, it is a good policy to speak with the providing dentist first. Sometimes the dentist and patient are able to resolve the complaint or problem on their own. Sometimes they can't. That's where the MDS and its complaint resolution process, called Peer Review, can help.
To open a Peer Review case, two documents are required to be completed and returned to the MDS. The Peer Review Limitations Form and the Complaint Form. It is necessary for both forms to be completed before the dispute resolution process can begin.
Peer Review is only available for treatment performed by member dentists of the Massachusetts Dental Society. The program is not able to accept complaints about non-member dentists, planned treatment, or complaints that have been submitted to the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Dentistry or are otherwise the subject of legal action. Both parties must also agree to submit the case to Peer Review.
Once your complaint is accepted, your case will be assigned to a mediator in your local area. Mediators are dentists who are trained to help dentists and patients resolve disagreements. If mediation is not successful, a hearing will be called by the local Peer Review Committee to decide on a recommended solution. The patient or the dentist may appeal the recommendation to the State Peer Review Committee. When a case is accepted for a hearing on the state level, the decision of the Committee is final.
The Massachusetts Dental Society Peer Review is a non-legal, non-punitive process. It relies on good faith between both parties to resolve their differences in order to promote the best possible oral health of the patient. Recommendations are made within the Peer Review system as a "gesture of goodwill."
If you're not satisfied or have an issue with the treatment you received from your dentist, the MDS can help.

Updated at 7:08 p.m. with more information from the scene of the crash.
One person is dead after a single-car crash in Northfield Township Wednesday afternoon.
Karen Gabrys, public affairs specialist at Huron Valley Ambulance, said emergency crews were dispatched at 5:45 p.m. Wednesday to Spencer and Seven Mile roads. The lone vehicle involved in the crash went off the road and hit a tree, she said.
The driver of the vehicle was pinned inside, and the vehicle was heavily damaged, Gabrys said. The driver was pronounced dead on the scene of the crash.
Police on scene didn't want to release the sex of the individual killed in the crash Wednesday evening. An officer said no family notifications had been made.
The black crossover SUV-type vehicle appeared to be headed north on Spencer Road. The vehicle was turned at a nearly 90-degree angle, crashing head-on into a tree.
The person's body was covered by a white sheet at 7 p.m. Wednesday as crash investigators began working the scene.
The area where the crash took place is mostly rural, with a few cars passing by on Seven Mile as police investigated the wreck. A hawk was circling the skies above the crash, which bordered farmland. A few homes are in the area.
Investigators could be seen measuring an area north of the heavily-damaged vehicle. Officers on scene said they wouldn't comment on how the crash could have happened immediately, citing the need for investigation.
Spencer Road is a dirt road both north and south of Seven Mile Road in the area of the crash. The portion of Spencer Road immediately south of the intersection with Seven Mile was closed while the investigation took place.
The hood of the vehicle was crumpled from the impact with the tree and the sheet obscuring the body also covered much of the damage on the front driver's side.
Northfield Township firefighters were on scene to help extricate the victim from the car.
It's the second fatal crash in Northfield Township in a week.
Joseph Michael Logan was putting gas into a Ford pickup on the side of U.S. 23 near Six Mile Road on April 9 when he was struck by a semi truck. Logan was killed instantly.
More information about Wednesday's crash was not immediately available.

A light freeze is possible in the morning for metro New Orleans and the River Parishes, according to the National Weather Service.
The low clouds that have dominated the area throughout Monday are moving off to the east and should clear out no later than midnight over the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, the weather service said.
This should allow temperatures to cool more quickly, resulting in a light freeze for portions of the area.
Temperatures should warm back above freezing by mid-morning Tuesday.

Huge volume again today. Here is something from a news service that talks about unusal trading volume today. This was at 11:25am today:
• StreetAccount reports stocks trading on unusual volume vs full-day 30-day moving average, without immediately obvious company-specific news
o Up on unusual volume:
288% - ARCP (AR Capital) +1.0%
264% - ASTX (Astex Pharmaceuticals) +2.4% -- 1.1M share block trades $3.92 (tied to options)
257% - LAZ (Lazard) +0.7% -- 1.5M shared block trades $36.50
163% - IPHI (Inphi Corp) +2.2% -- 300K share block trades $9.55
129% - CALL (magicJack VocalTec) +4.4%
97% - EVER (EverBank Financial) +2.1%
89% - QRE (QR Energy LP) +4.1% -- earnings follow-through
84% - LSE (CapLease) +1.5%
Had an options person that I respect take a look. It appeared to him that someone was replacing their options that were bought in Jan 12 with the stock. They paid 49 cents in Jan 2013 for April 3 calls.
Can't say that I totally understand the logic or intention but wanted to share the info with the group. All I know is that someone WANTS this stock. As I said yesterday, I think there is partnership news coming and if I had a dollar to bet I would say wiith GSK. Just a hunch. Would love a buyout at 8/9 per share.
Blame... an interesting choice of words for what most might say we should praise the option activity.
Sentiment: Buy
Picky aren't you?

Oak Harbor teacher contract vote expected Friday
Oak Harbor teachers are gearing up to make a contract decision late this week, and a teachers union spokesperson says the association remains hopeful that it can come to a contract agreement with the district.
Peter Szalai, co-president of Oak Harbor Education Association, said late Monday night that another bargaining session between the two sides is set for Thursday evening, and teachers will take a vote on the districts latest offer from that meeting Friday afternoon.
We feel the district can improve on its offer, Szalai said of the proposed contract the district presented late last week.
At that time the union declined the agreement, with Szalai saying that the two sides remained about $100,000 apart over a two-year contract.
The lead negotiator for the district, Barbara James, was unable to agree to any further concessions, Szalai said, without the consent of the district superintendent or the school board president, neither of whom was available at the time.
While teachers will start school tomorrow without a contract, Szalai said the association will have to face tough decisions if the district does not agree to its requests. OHEA members think it is in everyones best interest not to strike, Szalai said, but it is one option the group must consider.
The teachers previous contract expired August 31 and the union and the district yet to come to an agreement over issues involving pay and benefits.
Rick Schulte, school superintendent, and Kathy Jones, school board president, were unavailable for comment prior to press time.

Orange County, CA - "government offices" search results
About Government Offices
It can be difficult for people to find exactly where theyre local government offices are. Regardless of whether a person is new to an area, or if theyve lived there for most of their lives, its often very difficult to know just where the local government offices are. Unlike retail businesses or private industries, local government offices dont send advertisements to the residents, nor do they put themselves out on popular Internet sites. However, finding the local government offices in a certain area may not actually be as daunting as one might think. The first option for finding local government offices is to check in the newest phone book. Local government offices are most always listed in both the white pages and the yellow pages of any phone book. Most often these phone books are left on a persons doorstep, or in the mailbox. A second option, though one which will most likely have less success, is to walk around your town to try and find your local government offices. Whether its the local courthouse, mayors office, post office, or public health center though, chances are good that the local government offices are near the town square. Usually, though not always, the local government offices are found in older buildings, which may be part of the historical section. Also, if a person finds the building that contains the court house, but they were looking for the police station, chances are very good that someone who works at one local government office will be able to tell someone where the office they're looking for actually is.

More on Government Offices
The best bet to find the local government offices these days is to look on the Internet. Any search engine will work for a search for local government offices in any given area. Simply typing in whichever local government office a person is looking for, along with the city or county, is often enough to find a long list of relevant results. While it might take a little bit of work to find the particular website that has the information for a specific office, this search method requires absolutely no legwork, just an Internet connection and enough time. Once the proper website has been found, there is most often a section dedicated to contact information which will give the phone and fax numbers of the particular local government office, their address, e-mail, and hours of operation. The last workable option, perhaps even more efficient than using the Internet, is to call information. Simply dialing the numbers 411 on any phone should put anyone in contact with an operator who can find the answer to a persons questions. The only downside to this particular approach for locating local government offices is that the person whose calling must know which office theyre trying to reach. Asking an operator who they should call in reference to a parking ticket may not yet a very helpful response, but asking for the address and phone number of the local city court would be quite effective.

Opened in 1978 and at over 6 kilometres, still the world's longest gondola cableway.
The Grindelwald–Männlichen Gondola Cableway was opened on 23 December 1978. The following passage is taken from the 1977 founding brochure, which was also an invitation to subscribe shares: «As a resort, Grindelwald has an extremely unfavourable relationship between transport capacity from the valley and accommodation capacity. The sizeable amount of excursion traffic in particular demands additional transport capacity.»
The initiators of the gondola cableway regarded it as essential to improve transport capacity to the high-altitude facilities in winter and also to be able to carry summer guests up to vantage points and hiking areas. They argued that construction of the GGM was a matter of urgency if it was considered that the snow-safe and sheltered Männlichen ski region would enjoy direct access and thus the ski season extended into spring. In addition, new and interesting round-trips and hiking attractions would be created in summer.
The initiators were ambitious: at over 6 kilometres long, the Grindelwald–Männlichen Gondola Cableway would be the longest gondola cableway in the world – and indeed has remained so to this day. Building costs at the time were around 22 million francs, half of which was financed from own capital resources.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - The injury hits keep coming for UAB.
The Blazers had several guys get hurt in a 52-31 loss at UTSA, and incurred some big losses on both sides of the ball for the upcoming game against Middle Tennessee on Saturday at noon.
UAB head coach Garrick McGee said on his Wednesday radio show that sophomore cornerback Kelton Brackett had surgery earlier this week and won't play in this game. Brackett was in a sling on his left shoulder with his arm wrapped. He's likely out longer than just one game. Brackett has stepped up this year with 23 tackles, two for loss and a team-best six pass breakups.
UAB receiver Jamari Staples, who is second on the team with 25 catches for 365 yards and four touchdowns, hurt his ankle in the first half against UTSA. He didn't come back and has been in a walking boot all week.
McGee also said that offensive lineman Aaron Green is out for the season with an injury. This shortens UAB's offensive line rotation to just six with the five starters plus guard Cameron Blankenship.
UAB's secondary has been hit especially hard with injuries. The top three safeties coming into the season - Calvin Jones, Jay Davis and Greg Maclin - continue to be out and won't play this weekend. LaMarcus Farmer (hamstring) still hasn't returned to practice.
Defensive lineman Chris Walton (lower leg) missed the UTSA game and hasn't practiced this week.
UAB did get receiver Jamarcus Nelson (ankle) back against UTSA, and the playmaker responded with five catches for 101 yards and a touchdown.
"It was tough," Nelson said on Tuesday. "Just pushed through it. Go to the trainers, try to get back right. Hopefully I'll be 100 percent come Saturday."


text: I'm looking at getting a Smith and Wesson 686 4" revolver. Partly just because I want a double action revolver to shoot and maybe some IDPA or Steel Challenge later. How much stronger is the 6 shot version compared to the seven shot. Also in some of the shooting sports you can have a 7 shot revolver but are limited to loading only 6 rounds anyway. Wouldn't reloads be easier with the six shot instead of reloading 6 in a 7 shot revolver and having to make sure you indexed the cylinder correctly? How good is the Master action job from the S and W custom shop? Thanks a lot.

DETROIT -- For a team in contention, checking the out-of-town scoreboard is kind of like looking at the sun.
You can sneak a peek, but you shouldn't stare at it.
With the Detroit Tigers in first place in the AL Central, and the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox within striking distance, you would expect the Tigers to keep tabs on the scores of their closest contenders.
"The scoreboards are so huge anymore, everybody knows what's going on in every game," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "You take a peek out there. You have your moments where you've got time to do that. But I'm not staring (and thinking) 'Oh, I hope the White Sox are behind.' It's not like that."
Tigers relief pitcher Brandon Lyon said pondering how other teams are doing can take the focus off the task at hand.
"You have to worry about your business first," he said. "When our game's over, maybe then you can scoreboard watch. During the game, we've got to be focused on what we're doing out there, and our goal is to keep winning and playing good.
"We need to do that every day and not worry about what other people are doing."
The Tigers have been in first place since May 10 and lead the Twins by 4 1/2 games after their 4-3 comeback win Sunday against Tampa Bay. The White Sox are six games back.
Scoreboard watching will be half as hard the next few days as the Twins host the White Sox in a three-game series starting Monday.
Even so, the scoreboard will not be a major distraction for Leyland and the Tigers.
"I'm not saying I never see it, but I'm certainly not thinking about it," Leyland said. "You just kind of look and see what it is. But you do that in April."

text: Hi all, I am trying to implement a Perl scripting extension to a GUI C++ program. This extension should provide the capability for the user to write Perl scripts/commands that will run in the context of the main application and will be able to interact with it. An example for such a script can be: >>>>> my $i = call_some_perl_func(); main_app_show_popup( "i=$i"); #should call a function on the main application (C++) and popup a message window there <<<<< (To be clear, this script should be written by the user in an edit bow in the main application and should run upon pressing a "Run Perl Script" button) I saw that it is not too hard to embed a Perl interpreter into my application, but I couldn't figure out how I can cause the running Perl script to interact with the main C++ application. I guess this task is not trivial, but I'll appreciate any help on that - even a reference to an application that does something similar can help. Thanks in advance, David

BELCHERTOWN — The school superintendent says she has taken action against students who were responsible for a May 7 incident on a school bus carrying elementary school children that the Belchertown police chief characterized as an assault.
The results of the internal school probe are contained in an email to parents that Belchertown School Superintendent Judith Houle sent on Sunday night.
Houle's email states: "The school district has completed its investigation," she said in the email. "As a result of the investigation, consequences were imposed on students whose behavior warranted it." She did not elaborate on the nature of the consequences, nor specify the number of students involved as perpetrators or victims.
Belchertown police said last week that two male sixth-graders attending Chestnut Hill Community School assaulted a male third grader at Swift River Elementary School.
The alleged assault occurred on Belchertown school bus number 16 on May 7, according to police. The bus is owned and operated by the First Student transportation company. Belchertown public schools contracts with First Student to provide transportation.
Neither school officials nor law enforcement officials have commented on concerns expressed by parents about whether the alleged assault was sexual in nature.
"It appears to be some kind of assault, and we are investigating," Fox said.
Houle told parents in the email that she met with all school administrators and the police officer assigned to the district on May 22, a little more than two weeks after the incident, "to ensure that full investigation and communication procedures are followed for all future incidents." School officials were criticized by some parents for not providing information about the matter in a timely matter.
The school chief said she met with the manager of First Student for Belchertown and all the bus drivers for the town May 23, "regarding student discipline on the buses and to discuss strategies to ensure that all students are safe."
Houle also told parents an "assigned seating plan" is now mandatory on bus number 16 – "to ensure that students will be safe."
Police said prosecution of the May 7 school bus incident is in the hands of Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan's office.
Belchertown superintendent imposes 'consequences' on students responsible for school bus assault
on May 29, 2012 at 10:28 AM, updated May 29, 2012 at 11:34 AM
BELCHERTOWN — The school superintendent says she has taken action against students who were responsible for a May 7 incident on a school bus carrying elementary school children that the Belchertown police chief characterized as an assault.

Hugo Fucks Skyler - CockyBoys
Models: Hugo Milano and Skyler Caine
Studio: Cocky Boys
The scene opens with Hugo and Skyler already shirtless, showcasing their beefy, tatooed upper bodies. Skyler pins Hugo and begins licking and sucking at his nipples. Next thing you know, Skyler's hard in Hugo's mouth. Hugo licks frantically up and down the shaft of Skyler's cock and covers it in his spit. He fingers Skyler's asshole and we see his body clench around Hugo's finger. The scene jumps to Skyler deep-throating Hugo's enormous wang. Skyler sucks down hard, pressing his nose to Hugo's belly. Next, a close up shot of Hugo inserting his wet cock into Skyler's ass. His balls slap against Skyler's cheeks as Skyler groans, "Yeah, fuck that ass." Hugo is a true fuck machine, with his perfect round balls and even pelvic thrusts. The guys kiss as Hugo rams Skyler's ass, spreading his legs ever wider. Skyler's breathing quickens and they change positions so Skyler can ride Hugo's cock. Hugo grabs Skyler's firm bubble butt as he lifts himself up and down. The sound of Hugo's balls slapping against Skyler's ass is nearly drowned out by Skyler's cries--he tenses himself so every muscle is visible and rippling in preparation for what's sure to be an awesome finish. Cut to Hugo ramming Skyler again while Skyler jerks himself off. He shoots a beautiful white load, then Hugo takes his turn, rubbing one out onto Skyler's trimmed pubes.

Thanks Sam, for all of your thoughts on the game. Well done!
No draws for friends! Sorry.
Always good to have some friendly rivalry otb lol, I've yet to meet a friend in a tournament game but I'm sure it will happen soon... and I will go at him 100% - so kudos for not doing one of those "GrandMaster draws", you went out there with your friend, played something neither of you had been studying up on, and won! Regardless of the result the way you approached the situation is worthy of 2 of these - - and the fact you won, that's the bonus!
my nick name is also shanky!
Danny is right! For me, it was fun to see GMs play on opening that us "club" players play frequently.
refutation of berlin defense--4.Bxc6 haha
anyone else hear a ding around 30 second mark?
lol, refutation of the Berlin Defense. Can't wait to see it.
I think Sam would have played the Evans Gambit against 3...Bc5!
thanks for the candid analysis of your game! i liked that you pointed out what you didn't see in addition to what you did see correctly and incorrectly in addition to going into detail at what you were considering at critical points (when you played b3 and d4 for instance). very good.
This was a good game and it brings to mind something about the quality of GM play ... you guys find the only move in most or almost all the situations where an only move (the old 'box' in the Informant notation) is needed or a series of only moves are necessary. When there is that one slip, as you noted, it's enough to win. Nice game!
My last month with this website if the problem isn't resolved and I can't watch these videos on my ipad
Very nice game and easy to follow thanks to your analysis!
This was a very interesting game and an instructive analysis - thanks for sharing!
Thanks to the "boss" (aka Danny) for making Sam show this game, it was quite instructional to follow.
Nice game, it's in the theme of other fried liver videos recently. I play this as black and the more I see it the more I hate it. I mainly play the 2 knights to avoid something like evans' gambit, did you want to play that against bc5 or is that too noobish :P?
This really was a fun game, and a great video! Thanks Sam !
Nice game! I play Bd3 as well in this variation, so it was nice to see a current GM game with this line.
I ran this game through Deep Fritz and you managed to play every recommended move after the opening cleared, lol must be nice!
If you want more info on that crazy sharp variation after black plays the early Ng4, Roman Dzindzi did an in depth video on it back in 2009! Start at 19:00; http://www.chess.com/video/player/trend-breaking-novelties-italian-game
Thanks for the video!
Nice video Sam! Anyone know where to get the pgn games of this tournment? Thanks
It might be me but .. it always sounded to me like he's saying "young Ludwig" :) , great game - it's nice to see GM's playing this opening I got some ideas dealing with the fried liver , Thanks!
GM Sam Shankland
It's on! Apparently what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there! In this exciting battle between two good friends and training partners, GM Shankland vs GM Hammer, we witness a sharp struggle full of interesting attacking ideas, met by creative defensive maneuvers. We learn how to say "fork" in French, and that you owe it to your friends to always try your hardest to beat them. Enjoy Sam's witty and honest review of this fun game!

CISC/ICCA - Canadian Institute of Steel Construction
The CISC develops educational, informational and research tools to improve the construction industry's understanding of steel's sustainability features, and to respond to the evolving requirements of green construction and green building rating systems. Initiatives include:
• LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) webinars
• Articles in Advantage Steel magazine
• Links to sustainability resources
The importance of sustainability and the move towards designing high-performance, green buildings continue to gain momentum in the construction industry. The CISC aims to be at the forefront of this movement, and to help raise awareness of steel's inherent green attributes, performance features, and its cradle-to-cradle life cycle that make it one of the most sustainable construction materials on the planet
From the production of steel, to its fabrication and use in construction applications, the industry wants to make a difference in the environment. Involved in recycling and reuse initiatives since the turn of the century, the steel industry has reduced its energy consumption on several steel processes and its CO2 emission by more than 20% since 1990. The steel industry's commitments are real, measurable and worldwide.
Energy efficiency in the Canadian steel industry improved by 26% since 1990 (canadiansteel.ca). Greenhouse Gas Emissions have been reduced by 24% in intensity (per tonne) since 1990. Air and water emissions are 90% lower today than 10 years ago. As a highly prefabricated system, steel can reduce construction periods by 60% and require 75% fewer operatives on site, with consequential benefits to the client, contractor and local community. Steel reduces the building weight and footprint by accommodating longer spans with smaller member sections.
Designers reuse elements of a steel structure on-site or have them dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere without loss of steel's basic properties. Slag, a by-product of steel, is fully recovered and reused for road building, cement substitutes and other applications. Gases produced during iron making are used for reheating.
More steel is recycled each year than paper, aluminum, glass and plastic combined. Of the 99% steel recovered at the end-of-life of a steel building, 15% is locally reused and the rest is recycled.
The inherent recycled content of steel is the highest of any structural material
In North America, there are two main methods used to make structural steel. More than half is produced using the mini-mill Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) which relies on virtually 100% recycled steel. The integrated mill produces steel with the BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace) process and up to 35% recycled steel (recycle-steel.org/leed.html). Adding post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled contents typically delivers average LEED values of 40 to 50% - well exceeding the credit's objective.
Together, EAF and BOF processes ensure a globally sustainable development of steel in construction today. The international CO2 Breakthrough Programme is currently developing solutions to reduce the impact of these processes in the future.
The Triple Bottom Line of Sustainability
Sustainability is defined as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own". It rests on three pillars: social, environmental and economic.
Steel fabrication uses technologically advanced production methods, provides safe working conditions and a product that is aesthetically pleasing.
Steel is repeatedly recycled and reused, is energy efficient and allows for long lasting lightweight construction.
Steel has low labour and production costs, faster erection time, an ability to generate revenue sooner and is less expensive to change during use than other materials.
Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)
LEED is a green building rating system. Managed by the Canadian Green Building Council (cagbc.org), it encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices with tools and performance criteria. Steel consistently helps designers acquire points in LEED MR credits for recycled materials (2 points), regional content (2 points) and reuse (2 points) – totalling 6 of the 14 points available for "materials." In use, steel integrates and works with other materials such as glass in a double skin façade, concrete in a radiant floor heating system or wood in a hybrid system. As a result, steel has an impact on the entire Life Cycle and contributes points to not only one but several LEED categories
We hope the resources below will help architects and engineers build greener buildings.

3:07: Scotch Plains-Fanwood second in a fast heat in 4:07.35.
3:02: Orji 43-3 in finals.
3:01: That Orji mark could be wind-aided, which will factor into whether she equals meet record.
2:55: West Windsor South wins heat in 4:09.90
2:49: In girls long jump, Kayla Richardson of Columbia has gone 19-1, 19-0 and 19-6 in the trials.
2:41: Keturah Orji of Mount Olive, the top seed in the girls triple jump, goes 43-10 to grab lead heading into finals. She fouled on first jump and went 43-3 on her third. According to the program, that equals the meet record.
2:40: Metuchen wins in 4:03.84, No. 2 time of day so far.

1:24: High school hurdles story: Morgan Harvey of North Hunterdon places second overall and first among American finishers in the 400 hurdles
1:18: Hurdles story: Winslow's Torie Robinson places 10th in 400 hurdles
1:14: More of our coverage: Freehold Township qualifies for 4x800 final behind strong anchor from Emily Bracher
1:10: Our latest coverage: Defending champion Columbia wins 4x800 trials to help reach Championship of America race
1:00: Woodbridge wins heat in 48.39, matching Piscataway time. Then Winslow crosses first in 48.09.
12:55: Piscataway wins heat in 48.39, No. 2 for day among NJ teams.
12:45: Paramus Catholic wins its heat in 50.71.
12:40: Millville wins its heat in 50.90.
12:35: With Olivia Baker anchoring, Columbia wins its 4x100 heat in 48.02, No. 1 for NJ teams today. May have needed a bit faster time to make Championship of America race. We'll wait and see.
12:30: More from the discus world: Ashley Berry of Franklin threw 117-10 on her second attempt and 122-0 on her third. Halia Rosemond of Morristown-Beard threw 112-11 on her third attempt.
12:28: Egg Harbor just won its large school heat in 49.48, best for NJ so far. And East Orange won the next heat in 49.76.
12:25: Results from the girls discus circle: Princeton's Michelle Bazile unloads a second throw of 114-7. Jada Taylor of Neptune threw 112-6. And Edwin Allen of Jamaica just ripped off a meet-best 45.66 relay.
12:23: Large school 4x100s have begun, and Cherokee busts out a 49.97, just the third sub-50 for NJ today thus far.
12:15: Union Catholic bumps Pope John from the top NJ spot, wins its heat in 49.55.
12:13: Teaneck become's NJ's sixth 4x100 girls winner of day at 50.50.
12:11: Michelle Bazile of Princeton throws discus 98-6 on first throw. Berry goes 117-10 on second.

FAIRHOPE, Alabama-- On May 20, 35 people were arrested and one person was shot after police broke up a house party celebrating high school graduation in Fairhope.
The charges were centered around alleged underage drinking.
When 19-year-old Christian Vincent Valenti was fleeing the scene, a neighbor reportedly shot him with a shotgun as Valenti ran through his yard.
The neighbor, William Michael Moss, reported that he fired a "warning shot" as the teen fled on foot. Approximately one hour later deputies received a call from Thomas Hospital stating that a man was at the hospital being treated for injuries from an apparent gunshot wound, according to Capt. Stephen Arthur of the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office.
Moss confronted Valenti at gunpoint and initially struck Valenti in the mouth with the barrel of a 20-gauge shotgun, Arthur said.
Valenti ran and at that time William Moss fired at least 2 rounds from his 20-gauge shotgun, striking Valenti in the feet, legs and back. Valenti was taken by family members to the hospital where he was treated for between 20-30 shotgun pellet wounds, officials said.
Moss has been arrested and charged with second-degree assault. He was taken to the Baldwin County Corrections Center.
Moss' lawyer, Robert Stankoski, said that the charges are unfair.
Moss claims that he was working in his yard when the incident took place and he noticed Valenti trespassing on the property, according to Stankoski.
The homeowner said he then reached into his pickup and pulled out the gun loaded with birdshot and walked toward Valenti. "The kid starts yelling 'Marine Corps, Marine Corps,' said Stankoski. He said his client didn't understand what that meant and that he believed Valenti was not "in his right mind."
Then, Valenti reportedly told Moss that he was "hiding from the law."
Moss then told him to leave the property, Stankoski said, and he "put the barrel of the gun near the kid."
That's when Valenti allegedly "took a swing" at Moss, said Stankoski.
"Kid runs across property, ran into a pear tree, my client shoots birdshot trying to scare him," he said. "He fired to the side of him, some of the BBs ended up causing non-serious injuries. Then the trespasser continues running," he said.
The birdshot used was reportedly seven-eighths of an ounce per round, said Stankoski.
According to Stankoski, two Baldwin County sheriff's deputies told Moss that he did "the right thing."
"Then, the sheriff's department came back later, got a search warrant, now it turns out he's been arrested," said Stankoski.
"I have no idea what deputies he's referring to," Arthur told Alabama Media Group. "All I can say now is that was not revealed in our investigation."
Arthur also said the teen will not be charged with trespassing.
