Women vote: 2014
Dear Editors: Have you noticed that all the while opposite-world conservative republicans are demeaning and patronizing women voters with insulting ads connecting their candidates' names to wedding dresses, or instructing young women not to vote, that they're also hiring women to do all the mud-slinging and fear-mongering in their political ads. But then conservatives have always made women do their dirty work - literally. And obviously want them to continue to do so. Maybe they think they're ... Full Story
More child killing in Afghanistan
Editors note: This is not an isolated incident. This happens frequently. This is not the way to make friends. Our military intervention has been a failure. Thousands of innocents have been killed along with many of our own young people. The cost in lives and money has been enormous. Now some neocon senators want us to attack Iran. More of the same. Insanity at its peak. We need to get our troops out of Afghanistan. The action there has made our country less safe, not more safe. Would you accept ... Full Story

Republicans protecting rapists?
Why Does Eric Cantor Want To Protect Rapists? by Jessica Pieklo - January 3, 2013 There is no greater coward in Congress right now than House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

At first there's disappointment. Your favourite band is embarking on an international tour and your city isn't in the lineup. Or worse, they are coming but it's already sold out.
But then, an idea strikes you. Gig holiday.
Bell X1 at Bush Hall in London. Whether emigrants or visitors, half the room was Irish 🙂
There's nothing quite like the thrill of checking the tour dates of a band you really like and picking a city to travel to and see them live.
What appears on the face of it as a simple list of cities and dates in fact is a travel map in waiting probably spanning half of Europe and in each case featuring a great night's entertainment that you can bank on before you even book.
Over the last decade or so, I've had some great ones. U2 in the south of France. The Arcade Fire in London. Radiohead and REM at Glastonbury.
Last month's acoustic set by Bell X1 at London's Bush Hall was another sub-category of the genre. Seeing an Irish band you like while living abroad. Dozens of Irish heads and voices were to be seen and heard at the concert, most of them probably living in London. For that evening, Bush Hall, Shepherds Bush might just as easily have been on Wexford Street, Dublin.
But while an expat gig of this sort is not something you do on a whim, as a weekend break abroad from Ireland, a gig holiday simply writes itself. Pick a city where your favourite act is playing that you're interested in visiting, book flights and accommodation and you're all set for a great trip.
What's the coolest gig holiday you've been on? Let us know in the comments below.

Okay, this doesn't have to do with riding but anyway...
I'm taking cefprozil for a sinus infection, this is day 6. My symptoms are gone. But yesterday I started noticing symptoms of a bladder infection; I've had two before and this feels the same; having to go a lot, lots of burning. But it can't be a bladder infection, can it? Wouldn't the antibiotic take care of it?
Posted via Mobile Device
Well, could be a yeast infection from the antibiotics. I'd call the doc and get some diflucan.
Posted via Mobile Device
What are the symptoms of a yeast infection?
Posted via Mobile Device
I don't have those symptoms...my burning is inside, like in my lower stomach.
Posted via Mobile Device
It is advised to drink at least and extra Quart of water per pill you take.
After the fact, extra water may help, yogurt to replace the good bacteria that the Cefpro killed may also help, but at this stage (after the fact) you may need to see a doctor.
Antibiotics kill off certain bugs which allow others to run rampant. Call your doctor.

Theatre - Scholarships
John T. Trahey Mustard Seed Scholarship for Theatre Arts
John T. Trahey Mustard Seed Scholarships are tuition awards that enable talented students to train in all areas of theatre.
For the application, click here.
Auditions for the 2013-2014 academic year:
Monday, February 3, 2014; 6:30 - 9 p.m.
Saturday, February 8, 2014; 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Eligibility: Must maintain full-time students status at Loyola University Chicago and major in Theatre.
Requirements: Students must demonstrate financial need with minimum G.P.A. of 3.0
Applications and Auditions: Applications must be postmarked by February 1.
Auditions and interviews are on the above posted date. All recipients are announced before April 1.
Monetary Value: Varied; determined by the annual contributions from subscribers and friends toward the Theatre program, the student's need, number of applications for the scholarship, and amount of money available.
Terms for Renewal: Maintenance of full-time student status with minimum G.P.A. of 3.0 in theatre courses at Loyola University Chicago, continued demonstration of financial need, and participation in successful performance in theatre. Renewal deadline is Friday, March 29 for those students who received the scholarship for the 2012-2013 academic year. For more information, click here.
Audition Information and Tips:
- An audition order will be determined at the time of arrival.
- All interviews and auditions begin with an informal conversation with our faculty and staff.
- Choose your material carefully and rehearse it with your director until you are comfortable with it. Nervousness is a constant companion at auditions, and can take its toll on unrehearsed material. Select material which best demonstrates your abilities and versatility. Remember that a simple selection done well is better than a difficult one done poorly.
- Prepare more than one selection to show various acting styles. If singing, prepare a verse from both an up-tempo song and a ballad. If dancing, prepare a short combination exhibiting your most proficient dance styles.
- Important:Limit your entire audition to four minutes. If the audition staff requires more time, they will ask you for it. Cut your material to eliminate repetitive verses and choruses. Be selective in choosing your material; go for the big finish, the quiet moment, or those parts that really show off your best. Remember, the purpose of an audition is not to entertain the audition staff, but to show them your best qualifications in a short period of time.
- Design/tech applicants should bring a portfolio of their work and be prepared to discuss it with our faculty and staff. The portfolio should include pertinent renderings, drawings, designs, sketches, production photos, or examples of your artistic and technical expertise.
- Consider your personal appearance. Your audition is similar to a job interview, so first impressions are important. You only have a short period of time to make the most favorable impression with your talent, appearance, personality, and attitude, and your evaluation begins the moment the faculty sees you enter the theatre.
- Keep props and equipment to a minimum as delays in assembling this equipment can be disruptive to other auditions.
- It is preferable that applicants bring their own accompanist/recorded music with whom/which they have rehearsed and are comfortable.
- Do your best and do not be discouraged if you make mistakes. All of the audition staff have been in your place at one time or another. We will extend every courtesy and consideration to make your audition a positive experience.
- Each applicant will receive written notification, one way or the other, regarding the awarding of scholarships after all auditions and sessions have been held. Please do not call inquiring about your audition. Those answering the phones will not have the information you seek, and calls of this nature only delay the selection process.

The guys behind 5-Second Films have been making bite-size movies for YouTube every weekday since 2008, but now they're about to embark on something a little longer: a full-length feature film.
The Internet comedy troupe launched a Kickstarter campaign to make a 5,400-second film version (about 90 minutes) of one of their videos, Dude Bro Party Massacre 3.
The five-second film has the feel of an '80s slasher, and even within the strict length of their videos, there's plenty of blood and gore.
The original episode was released in 2009, but they were inspired to make an 89-second trailer for the film a year later. That trailer expands on the character as well as the intended plot.
Still, some fans wanted more.
"The more comments we saw on both videos, the more we knew that we weren't the only ones who wanted to see these oiled-up bros get chopped to bits in the gory, blood-spraying, hilarious fashion that 5secondfilms is oh-so-good at," 5sf wrote on their Kickstarter page.
According to their pitch video, DBPM3 is a "bloody tale about a bunch of bros who go to an abandoned sorority house by a lake, but then 'Motherface' starts picking them off one by one according to their fears: Heights, commitment, running out of beer, even puppies."
But with more time to fill, they're also including a softcore subplot and intend to make DBPM3 feel like a VHS recording from the late '80s with host segments, TV commercial parodies, and fake news alerts.
5SF was essentially making Vines before Vine was a thing, but they've assured their audience that after working together for five years, they can handle making a full-length film just fine.
"We've been doing this a long time," they wrote. "Both on our own and as hired professionals."
5SF launched the campaign on Tuesday and they're offering downloads of the film, exclusive erotic playing cards (seriously!), T-shirts, a video message from Satan, and even an executive producer credit as some of the perks.
They even have an endorsement from comedian Patton Oswalt.
My favorite young filmmakers want to make the most bugfuck movie I've ever heard of.LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN:kck.st/1atkX8W— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) May 28, 2013
They've raised more than $37,000 toward their $200,000 goal over the course of two days, and there's plenty of time before the campaign ends on July 1. You can watch their pitch video below.

Queen Hortense a Life Picture of the Napoleonic Era
Kessinger Publishing, Apr 1, 2005 - Fiction - 400 pages
1901. Muhlbach is the pseudonym of Mrs. Luise Mundt. Writing as Muhlbach she produced more than fifty novels and her works in their entirety comprise almost one hundred volumes. Her historical romance novels are where the author's fame rests. The book begins: One moment of bliss is not too dearly bought with death, says our great German poet, and he may be right; but a moment of bliss purchased with a long lifetime full of trial and suffering is far too costly. And when did it come for her, this moment of bliss? When could Hortense Beauharnais, in speaking of herself, declare, I am happy? Now, let suffering and sorrow come upon me, if they will; I have tasted felicity, and, in the memories it has left me, it is imperishable and eternal!

Aims Endothelial dysfunction has been related both to progression of atherosclerotic disease and to future cardiovascular events. We assessed local epicardial endothelial function 6 months after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) or bare metal stent (BS) implantation.
Methods and results In 12 patients (seven SES, five BS), endothelium-dependent vasomotion of a coronary segment 15 mm in length, starting 2 mm distal to the stent, was assessed with quantitative coronary angiography immediately after the procedure and at 6 months follow-up, after intracoronary infusion of acetylcholine. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was performed and coronary flow reserve (CFR) assessed in all patients. At follow-up significant vasoconstriction was seen in SES (median 32% diameter reduction from baseline) but not in BS (median 2% reduction) patients after acetylcholine infusion (P=0.03 for SES vs. BS); endothelium-independent vasodilatation to nitrates did not differ significantly between groups (20% SES, 5% BS, P=0.14). IVUS revealed no late unhealed dissections and CFR was comparable between groups (SES 3.1 vs. BS 3.2, n.s.).
Conclusion SES implantation may have an adverse effect on local endothelium-dependent vasomotor responses compared with BS implantation at 6 months. Long-term clinical consequences of this observation are still unknown.
See page 125 for the editorial comment on this article (doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehi641)
Sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation significantly reduces restenosis compared with bare stents (BS).1,2 Inhibition of restenosis by sirolimus is related to cell-cycle arrest in the late G1-phase. This salutary effect on restenosis may be accompanied by delayed healing of the traumatized vessel wall.3 Long-term endothelial dysfunction after BS has been reported in porcine and human coronary arteries.4,5 Recently, exercise-induced coronary vasoconstriction was reported in the vessel segments adjacent to SES but not BS.6 We assessed endothelial-dependent and -independent vasomotion immediately after stenting and at 6 months after SES or BS implantation.
Patient selection
We prospectively studied 15 patients, nine with SES (Cypher, Cordis Co., Warren, NJ, USA) and six BS (DepoStent, Conor Medsystems, Inc., Menlo Park, CA, USA) patients. Stents were implanted for single de novo lesions. Most important exclusion criteria were: acute myocardial infarction within 72 h after onset of symptoms, angiographic evidence of fresh thrombus (filling defect proximal to or involving the stenosis), LVEF <30%, vessels with reference diameter <2.5 and >4.0 mm in diameter, and lesions treated with a balloon injury <10 or >40 mm in length.
In the Thoraxcenter, the SES was the default stent at the time of the study. Six patients receiving a DepoStent with comparable lesion characteristics and vessel size were included in this study. This stent was the only BS implanted at the Thoraxcenter during the study period. Except for a different stent design, both stents are made of 316L stainless steel and stent strut thickness is identical (140 µm).7 Allocation of patients to either group was dependent on availability of stents and patient informed consent.
One of the nine SES patients refused follow-up. One additional patient in each group was excluded because of in-stent restenosis. Thus, seven SES and five BS patients were analysed. Mean duration until follow-up studies was very similar (mean 188±4 days for BS and 191±8 days for SES group, n.s.). The Erasmus MC Ethics Committee approved the protocol and written informed consent was obtained.
Evaluation of endothelial function
Studies were performed directly after completion of the interventional procedure and at scheduled 6-month angiography. Long-acting vasoactive drugs were stopped for at least 24 h before angiography. Endothelium-dependent and independent coronary vasomotion was studied using standard protocols.8 The intracoronary stent scaffolds the arterial wall and virtually abolishes vasomotion. For this reason, we analysed the 17 mm segment immediately distal to the stent, excluding the first 2 mm. A selective intracoronary infusion catheter (Multi-functional Probing Catheter, Boston Scientific, Galway, Ireland) was advanced over the guide wire and positioned in the stent. To avoid wire-induced coronary spasm, the guide wire was subsequently withdrawn into the catheter. As baseline, an infusion of vehicle solution, normal (0.9%) saline, was performed for 2.5 min at an infusion rate of 2 mL/min, followed by baseline angiography. Thereafter, endothelium-dependent vasomotion was studied by infusion of incremental doses of acetylcholine (Ach), 10−8, 10−7, and 10−6 M, for 2.5 min at each concentration. Subsequently, endothelium-independent vasomotion was assessed after an intracoronary bolus of nitrates (2–3 mg).
Quantitative coronary angiography
Off-line quantitative analysis of coronary angiography was performed with the CAAS II system (Pie Medical Imaging, Maastricht, NL, USA), blinded to knowledge of stent type. Using the method of subsegmental analysis (as validated in brachytherapy trials), the mean lumen diameter was calculated of the segment starting 2 mm distal to the stent until 17 mm distal to the stent. Endothelial dysfunction was defined as abnormal vasoconstriction of ≥3% mean vessel diameter change from baseline (saline infusion), beyond the variability of the method of analysis, of the segment studied after the maximal dose of Ach (10−6 M).
Coronary flow reserve
Coronary flow reserve (CFR) measurement was performed to exclude differences in microvascular coronary resistance between groups. This was performed after completion of endothelial function testing. A 0.014 in. Doppler tipped guidewire (FloWire, Volcano Therapeutics Inc., Rancho Cordova, CA, USA) was positioned in the coronary artery just distal to the implanted stent. After baseline flow velocity measurement, adenosine (140 mcg/kg/min for 2 min through the femoral vein) was administered for assessment of hyperaemic flow velocity and CFR. Measurements were done in duplicate.
Intravascular ultrasound
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was performed in all patients at the end of the study protocol, as unhealed dissections may influence late recovery of endothelial function. IVUS was performed according to standard techniques, using a 30 MHz, 2.9 F mechanical ultrasound catheter (UltraCross, Boston Scientific Scimed Inc., Fremont, CA, USA).
Data are presented as median and interquartile range (25%; 75%) because of low number of patients and as mean±SD where mentioned. For continuous variables of baseline characteristics Student's t-test was used, for categorical data the Fisher's exact-test. Mann–Whitney U test was performed to analyse diameter changes between groups. A value of P<0.05 (two-tailed) was considered to indicate statistical significance.
SES patients were younger and more often female, whereas hypercholesterolaemia and a family history of coronary artery disease were more common in the BS group (Table 1).
Mean coronary diameters at follow-up were similar between SES and BS (mean 2.0±0.2 mm vs. 2.2±0.4 mm).
Table 2 shows results of maximal dose of acetylcholine of 10−6 M at follow-up. In the SES group, a 32% (−48; −21) reduction in mean coronary diameter compared with baseline was observed, after infusion of Ach 10−6 M, whereas there was no significant change in the BS group [−2% (5; 0)], (P=0.03 SES vs. BS, Figure 1; Table 2). Endothelium-independent dilatation to nitrates did not differ significantly between groups (Table 2).
Figure 2 highlights the vasomotion reaction of the coronary segment to incremental doses of acetylcholine and nitrates in both groups.
Endothelial function studies were also performed directly after implantation to exclude major differences between groups at baseline. Constrictive response was seen in both groups [−21% (−26; −8) vs. −8% (−13; −7) for SES and BS groups, respectively; P=0.25]. However, absolute values are not comparable between index procedure and follow-up, because all patients in both groups did receive intracoronary nitrates during the interventional procedure, i.e. before endothelial function study.
CFR at follow-up did not differ significantly between groups [SES median 3.1 (2.7; 3.7) vs. BS 3.2 (3.1; 3.6), n.s.]. Absolute flow increased from 16±7 cm/s for SES and 16±4 cm/s for BS to 52±26 cm/s and 51±15 cm/s for SES and BS, respectively (mean±SD). CFR at baseline is not included in the data as CFR immediately after the intervention can greatly be influenced by the procedure itself, which was not the purpose of the measurements in this study.
On IVUS, no stent-edge dissections were seen in either group.
Drug-eluting stents have shown a large reduction of restenosis compared with BS.1,2 However, their mechanism of action may have unwanted effects on vessel healing after stent implantation.3,9 The major finding of the present study was that SES implantation suggests an adverse effect on local endothelium-dependent vasomotor responses 6 months after SES compared with BS implantation distal to the interventional segment.
Possible mechanisms for endothelial dysfunction after SES implantation
Direct drug effect?
Sirolimus (rapamycin) is a potent immunosuppressive agent, which has anti-proliferative capacity through cell-cycle arrest in the late G1-phase. It has been shown to be effective in inhibiting in-stent neo-intimal hyperplasia. The amount of drug on the stent is extremely small (<3%) compared to the doses employed systemically in kidney transplant patients to treat rejection. Around 80% of the drug is released within 30 days of implantation. It is, therefore, unlikely that the drug can affect vasomotion in the distal segment by diffusion from the blood stream late after implantation. However, it cannot be excluded that the drug can reach the vessel wall directly distal to a drug-eluting stent, for example by diffusion through the tissue and through the vasa vasorum. As recently shown, the vasa vasorum interna in porcine coronary arteries originating directly from the lumen of the artery can extend over several centimetres along the coronary artery wall.10 Clinical data support the hypothesis of drug elution distal to the stent. In recent trials, SES stent implantation resulted in higher restenosis rates at the proximal edge of the stent compared with the distal edge.2
Data on the effects of sirolimus on vasomotion is limited, not conclusive, but growing. Early reports showed vasodilatory effects of sirolimus after acute exposure to high doses in isolated rat aortic rings.11 More recent data showed severe impairment of endothelial function in the coronary segments of swine in vitro, after incubation for 48 h with sirolimus.12 Guba et al. reported anti-angiogenic activities of sirolimus, linked to a decrease in production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and to a marked inhibition of the response of vascular endothelial cells to stimulation by VEGF.13 The authors suggested that this might reduce the chance of recurrent or de novo cancer in organ transplant patients. However, this might also delay endothelial recovery after vascular injury.
Recently, Togni et al. reported exercise-induced coronary vasoconstriction in the vessel segments adjacent to SES but not BS.6 In that study, no measurements were performed immediately after the intervention and, therefore, baseline differences in endothelial function cannot be excluded. However, their data and the results obtained in the present study both indicate that coronary segments distal to SES show paradoxical vasoconstriction when compared with BS.
The effects of sirolimus on vasomotion can hypothetically be caused by a direct effect on the endothelium, on the signalling pathway of the endothelium to the medial smooth muscle cells or a direct effect on the media. The data of Guba et al.13 suggest a direct effect on the endothelium and/or the signalling pathway. A preserved medial vasomotion is also suggested by the preserved vasodilatation after intracoronary nitrates in the current study.
General effect caused by delayed healing response?
A delayed healing response associated with prolonged endothelial dysfunction is shown after stenting vs. balloon angioplasty in porcine coronary arteries.4 Caramori et al.5 demonstrated persistent vasomotor dysfunction distal to coronary stents implanted 6 months earlier.
The anti-proliferative activity of sirolimus may merely cause a prolonged healing response with concomitant delayed recovery of endothelial function. In this respect, it would be very interesting to repeat the vasomotion studies at later timepoints to evaluate the timeframe of endothelial functional recovery, if present. In future studies, this should be incorporated in the protocol as this may have implications for the duration of double anti-platelet agent treatment and other possible interventions to improve endothelial function, such as ACE-inhibitors and high-dose cholesterol lowering medication.
Procedural differences between groups?
In both groups, direct stenting was performed in all but one patient. Pre-dilatation was done with a balloon 1 mm smaller in diameter than the subsequently implanted stent, and balloons were shorter than the stent. No BS were post-dilated, while three out of seven SES were post-dilated. As clearly visible in Figure 1, in all but one SES patient, vasoconstrictive response to Ach was seen. The one patient not showing significant constriction was treated with direct stenting without post-dilatation. Post-dilatations were within the stent at all times. These implantation characteristics together with the fact that measurements started 2 mm distal to the stent, make significant differences in the vessel wall trauma distal to the stent very unlikely.
The coronary segments distal to the stent had a normal angiographic appearance in both groups. IVUS study revealed no unhealed distal stent-edge dissections, which could have influenced endothelial recovery.
Though our main interest was the vasomotory response at 6 months follow-up, studies were also performed immediately after the intervention itself to exclude major difference in baseline vasomotion between groups. However, in our centre, interventions are performed with liberal use of intracoronary nitrates to appreciate vessel diameter and reduce spasm. This means that acetylcholine studies were performed after the use of nitrates and results between baseline and follow-up are not comparable. Despite this, significant vasoconstrictive response to acetylcholine could be seen in both groups. Though a trend to more vasoconstrictive response was seen in the SES group at baseline, response had a tendency to improve in the BS group at follow-up [−8% (−13; −7) to −2% (−5; 0) P=0.07], while a trend towards worsening was seen in the SES group [−21% (−26; −8) to −32% (−48; −21), P=0.25]. This means that the large difference in vasomotion response to acetylcholine seen at follow-up between BS and SES patient groups could not be explained by a difference in vasomotion at baseline.
During the intervention, the interventional guide wire is distal to the treated segment. Endothelial damage or even local endothelial denudation distal to the implanted stent due to wire manipulation cannot be excluded. However, it is very unlikely that 6 months after the intervention, the vasoconstrictive response to Ach, as seen in this study, would be the result of a persistent denudated coronary artery, instead of a regenerated but still dysfunctional endothelial layer.
Studies were performed 6 months after SES implantation. Persistent drug elution from the stent is unlikely. If present, the drug concentration would be extremely low. If the alteration in endothelial response we observed is a consequence of SES implantation, it likely represents the late sequelae of earlier high dose exposure. The clinical relevance of this is unclear as even 3-year clinical follow-up in the first SES treated patients does not show delayed restenosis or vessel closure, though some late catch-up effect was recently reported.14 Moreover, we report a localized endothelial dysfunction, while generalized coronary endothelial vasodilator dysfunction has been linked to long-term atherosclerotic disease progression and cardiovascular event rates.15 However, our results do suggest that prolonged follow-up to exclude late adverse consequences is warranted in patients who receive a drug-eluting stent.
Mild vasodilatory response after nitroglycerin
Only a mild vasodilatation was seen in reaction to nitrates in both groups, mean: 15±11% for SES and 7±7% for BS, median (Q1, Q3): 20 (10, 23) for SES and five (1, 13) for BSs. These differences were not significant from baseline. However, these small diameter changes are in line with other studies. Sabaté et al. reported only a mean 7—9% vasodilatation of the studied segment 6 months after balloon angioplasty with or without additional radiation therapy.16 Treasure et al. reported a mean of 13% vasodilatation after nitrates in a non-treated control coronary artery at baseline in a study investigating endothelial function in patients treated with lovastatin or placebo.17
Study limitations
The baseline characteristics of both groups were not completely balanced. However, in the BS group, patients were older, more often men and more often suffered from hypercholesterolemia, all of which are known to predispose to endothelial dysfunction. Despite this, endothelial dysfunction was significantly more marked in the SES patient group.
Our patient groups were small, due to the very limited number of patients receiving a BS in our centre at the time of the study on one hand, while on the other hand our centre changed from SES to a paclitaxel-eluting stent as the new default stent during recruitment of our study patients, preventing us from inclusion of more SES patients. Despite the finding of a statistically significant difference in vasomotor response to Ach, these results should be confirmed in larger studies to overcome the limitations of statistics on small sample sizes.
The stent design was not the same in both groups. Ideally, the BS and SES should have had the same design. However, both stents were made from 316L stainless steel and strut thickness was identical. Moreover, the segment studied extended 17 mm distal to the stent, making an effect of stent design 6 months after implantation and without restenosis unlikely.
No vasomotion study was performed in a control vessel of the SES patients to rule out a stronger vasoconstrictor response to Ach in this patient group, not related to sirolimus. However, as the trend to vasoconstriction in the SES patients was very uniform compared to the reaction in the BS patients (Figure 1), an intrinsic stronger response of the vessel wall to Ach is not very likely.
SES implantation may have an adverse effect on local endothelium-dependent vasomotor responses six months after SES compared to BS implantation. The long-term clinical consequences of this observation are yet unknown.

Themes in Macroeconomic History by Solomos Solomou
Book DescriptionThe period between the two World Wars was remarkable; mass unemployment, protectionism, diverse exchange rate regimes, the disintegration of world trade, poor growth prospects and high business cycle volatility. This comprehensive textbook surveys key questions arising from the British economy from 1919 to 1939: Why was unemployment so high? Did a fast transition to the pre-1913 gold parity lead to a low growth equilibrium? Why were interwar business cycles so volatile? Did tariffs stimulate economic recovery in the 1930s? A comparative approach is adopted throughout. For example, the question of gold parity is contrasted with countries that allowed their currencies to depreciate. The book is aimed primarily at students studying economic history. The book continually applies economic theory to historical examples enabling students to evaluate the relevance of competing theoretical frameworks.

Feasibility of Dynamic Binary Parallelization
This paper proposes DBP, an automatic technique that transparently parallelizes a sequential binary executable while it is running. A prototype implementation in simulation was able to increase sequential execution speeds by up to 1.96x, averaged over three benchmarks suites. Fundamental issues in microprocessor technologies have led designers to increase the number of cores on a chip instead of increasing its single-threaded performance. Multi-core designs with 4 to 8 cores are ubiquitous, and trends suggest that core counts will continue to grow for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, most existing software is designed for single-core processors, and is therefore unable to fully exploit the increased processing power offered by many-core processors.

Which Joe gave his name to 'sloppy joes'? We look at five interesting sandwiches and their lexical origins.
Definition of diameter in English:
(also diam.)
1A straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
- 'Can we draw a line thinner than the diameter of a hydrogen atom?'
- 'The diameter of a sphere is 6.25 nm, and panicles cannot be closer than that.'
- 'And this he proved by first showing that the squares on the diameters have the same ratio as the circles.'
- 'The rule is to cut 1/9 off the circle's diameter and to construct a square on the remainder.'
- 'Therefore, all diameters of a centrally symmetric shape of constant width pass through the center of symmetry.'
- 'The sine wave through the diameter of the circle is the ideal and basic pulse wave.'
- 'In 30 feet of water the circle has a diameter of 3 feet.'
- 'They were represented by red circles having a diameter of 5 mm presented on a black screen.'
- 'Users can measure the distance of vertices/edges/faces, the angle of edges/faces, and the radii and diameters of circles.'
- 'The distance from the ground to the tip of his extended index finger is the diameter of the circle.'

|Minimum Stay
|5 - 10 nights
The BlueRock Beach House with private pool and , was designed for the modern professional family. The home was a model of green construction, utilizing,traditional Hawaiian materials in innovative new ways. The striking gourmet bamboo kitchen was fabricated from recycled material. The solid 2 1/2 lava countertops make reference to the iconic Volcanoes. The coral stone used in the central island and bath rooms is filled with the islands fossils and shells. The stunning hand scraped ipe, or iron wood floors are also reclamed wood. etc. These indigenous materials are juxtaposed with the latest plumbing and applliances to produce a minimal, high tech, yet warm framework to observe the beautiful gardens and nature in the backyard surrounding the pool, with some of the oldest trees, and luscious flowers remaining in South Maui.
Eight people can stay in full size beds with luxury hotel mattresses.
For an additional fee you may add up to 4 more guests with an extra person fee. They can sleep in the italian pull out sofa sleeper located in the master suite or one of the two queen air mattresses that are often placed in the large master closet.
Also there is a folding single nova foam sleeper that is divine, but not recommended for an extra large guests because it is narrow.
Keywords: Traditional beach house newly renovated by renowned architect and interior designer.
I am the owner, architect, and interior designer.
Initially I designed this vacation rental a green model home for traditional Hawaiian homes that required a modern green remodel!
Nicole purchased this house in 2004
This property is so popular because of it's unique location.
It is the only vacation rental property available in the sacred centrally located local neighborhood, where you can walk best places, that are not over priced for the tourists in Wailea. Yet, Nicole has provide the interior style and amenities she uses for her resort clientele who pay considerably more to stay in Wailea, but do not experience the rich culture of her neighborhood!
Driving up to your own house with virtually unlimited parking, pool, and freedom...is so much more relaxed then a resort, or gated property where must constantly show security your clearance, to go back an forth from the same beaches as this house. Also, having the same luxuries as home, like a gourmet kitchen, laundry, in addition to your own pool and BBQ, WIFI, HBO/showtime/IPad docks etcs, make this house a dream without the huge bill at the end of vacation that you dread!

"Hi Nicole. Just wanted to thank you for a WONDERFUL stay in your BEAUTIFUL home. We thoroughlyly enjoyed every aspect of it. Tour service,attention to detail,keeping the home so well stocked,taking care of the pool-all so greatly noticed and appreciated. We've rented rented numerous homes and by far yours was the best. Kudos to you!We would definitely be back. Have a wonderful day!
Everything was exactly as described. Nice rooms with comfortable beds, the master suite is huge! Great location, close to the ocean with easy access to the grocery, local shops and restaurants. The house is in a very quiet area, perfect place to stay for a relaxing vacation.
Absolutely wonderful 10 days at the BlueRock BeachHouse. Pool and yard were lovely, beds so comfy and kitchen well equipped. We had everything we could possibly need. Bbq, beach chairs, & endless beach towels. Three generations of my family had a fantastic time. Beautiful home. We will return. *Nicole you are lovely & fantastic too! Mahalo.
This place was fantastic! Our party of 7 was here for 2 weeks and this place had more than enough room to accommodate everyone comfortably.
The house was very well maintained. The kitchen and appliances were top notch and included everything you could possibly imagine (pots, pans, cutlery, glassware, high end smaller appliances, etc.). There were also a lot of "extras" left behind from prior guests (like spices, plastic bags, etc.) which kept us from having to buy a bunch of extra stuff when we arrived.
The master bedroom was HUGE! Our infant son slept in a playpen (provided by Nicole) in the walk-in closet, while everyone else in our party had their own rooms. We could have easily had 3-4 more people stay in the house with us if need be.
Now the best part - the yard and pool! I always forget that most pools in Maui aren't heated (my parents stayed at a condo complex down the road and their pool wasn't heated either), but once you get over the initial shock of jumping in, we had a blast playing with the kids and floating around in the sun all afternoon. I also didn't realize how rare it was to find a private house with a pool in Maui - and this pool and yard was fantastic for us and the kids to run around and play. The outdoor shower was also a nice treat after a long swim at the house or to come home after spending a day at the beach - we were able to wash everyone off (with warm water) and keep the kids from tracking sand throughout the house.
Nicole was a real pleasure to deal with. Anytime we had questions, she was very quick to respond and/or stop in to help us out. She also had a lot of great suggestions for us for what beaches to check out and where we could get a good deal on rental gear before venturing into the ocean. Thank you Nicole!
Maalea Harbor was a 15 minute drive north; Wailea was a 15 minute drive south; and there were numerous beaches, restaurants and shopping centers within 5-10 minutes of the house that made it easy to get out for a quick trip or an all-day adventure. The grocery store was literally a block away which was nice since we cooked most meals at the house, and there were also a number of restaurants along S. Kihei Road (either walking distance or a short drive) that were top notch.
Overall this was one of the best trips we have ever taken as a family and we can't wait to bring more of the family back in a couple years!
Thanks again Nicole. Mahalo!
We stayed I'm the house for a week and I have to admit it was nicer than expected. It was near the beaches and have us a quiet place to be
That being said, it was uncomfortable having three owner right there. I felt as though we were being chaperoned. You could hear her doing stuff through the walls. I also spent my vacation making sure rules were enforced which meant I didn't get much of a vacation. The shower didn't work correctly which she admitted when we were leaving, water comes in the front door when the sprinklers are on, and I almost hurt myself a couple times thanks to a broken floorboard.
I bought the insurance and am thankful I did. A water bottle leaked creating done bubbles in the dining room table which was discovered before we left and I had no problems paying for. However, when the CSA agent called me to confirm the owner claimed we had done damage to a mattress pad also which I thought odd since no damage was claimed on any sheets. How did we manage to spill something on just the mattress pad? When she contacted me about the damage and asked why I denied the damage she began making derogatory remarks about "gunky band people" and insisted that we had to have done the damage. When I confronted her about it she back-pedaled. I had intended on renting the house again and even suggested it to others but since have decided it's not worth the effort.
My suggestion for anyone renting this house is to take pictures of the house before and after to avoid paying for any damage that you did not do. I wish I had thought to do it so I would be able to provide proof that would have saved me both the hassle and the insults.
The Bluerock Beachhouse was a great place to stay and has everything you need to enjoy Maui. Walking distance to beach and restruants
Clean house with very comfortable beds.
We rented this property for our daughter's wedding week. It was perfect for both immediate families (8 people). The description was accurate. It was clean, well equipped and maintained (gardeners attended once while we were there and were very quick and efficient). The pool was clean and refreshing. The back yard backs on to a beautiful expanse of green space, making it very private. Includes a brand new Weber BBQ and great spacious kitchen. Well appointed bedrooms including a huge master bedroom. We only needed to call once for additional toilet paper which was delivered promptly. We would highly recommend this property to friends and relatives. We loved the area, close to shopping, beaches good restaurants, although we mostly cooked for ourselves. We also rented snorkelling equipment close by. We loved the experience and plan to return.
