|I remember chanting the 5.6 mantra on the first pitch. A storm chased us off right before the exposed ridge traverse and we rapped twice off the side to the left...it worked, but I bet that ridge is better. The talus on the way down seemed pretty mobile to me, and was.

|Quick note - above the ancient rusty bolt hanger on p1 is a small block with a short horizontal crack where a small to medium sized stopper (say #4) can be placed with a long runner. Seemed very solid to me and greatly improved my state of mind at that point ;-)

|Just climbed this route today, very nice climb, and great view from the top. A few things to note; the old bolt hanger has been replaced with a new one, and there is a huge loose flake on the climbers right around the top of pitch 2, it sounds hollow and should be avoided if at all possible also be careful on the walk off as the talus is quite mobile as well fairly large.

|Climbed this a month ago. Great mid-range "alpine" climb. Didn't see the bolt on P1 so wasn't sure I was on route. But had sketchy gear near the top of the pitch, matching some of the comments posted above, and coinciding with the hardest moves of the climb. See photo of P1 with the line we climbed drawn in. P2 and P3 are fun easy climbing. P4 was a bit different in that it (we) went around to the left side before angling back right to meet the summit ridge. The rock quality changed, and it seemed a bit more ominous over there, but still relatively easy. Maybe 5.5?

This route reminded me of an outing in the [Cascades]. The rock is absent of cracks except where the rock has fractured. It's not the loveable granite found in RMNP, Lumpy or BoCan.
I attempted to follow the path of least resistance on pitch one and followed the same path outlined in Ivan's photo below. It's definitely a little sketchy after the overlap with a runout, a couple loose holds and shakey RP's for protection after lauching up the left facing corner. All the bad things converge at the worst possible point. I believe the old bolt can be found by climbing straight over the first major overlap, rather than traversing left underneath it as shown by the dots. We belayed at a set of new camo bolts on the first major ledge. The rest of the route is a breeze in comparison.
Incidentally, the old topo from Hubbel's Front Range Crags guide book shows the route starting in a dirty, broken major corner system to the right of the nice slab on the Ridge. I doubt it's much fun climbing in that corner.

This was a really nice climb for my first multi-pitch lead. I followed Ivan's route up to the point where he cut left below the roof. At that point it looked like I had better protection and better holds to the right so I traversed right around a corner and then up a short slab. I believe this put me on the 5.8 variation where it intersects with the long diagonal dihedral. I belayed from there and the rest of the climb was straightforward. I never saw any bolts, just two old rusty pitons and a fixed nut. I wished we had brought radios because my partner and I couldn't hear each other for most of the climb due to river noise, traffic noise, and a slight breeze.
I shot a short movie of our climb. You can find it on my website at leachfam.com/securearea/1story...

Nice video, one comment, be sure to "protect the traverse" of your 2nd. I am not trying to be a buzzkill, but Julie would have hit the ledge at about 50% when the she climbs into the sun, if she had popped off. Better safe than sorry especially in that location.
Oh, just watched the end, be ready to dump your pack on a stream crossing. I usually wear the pack with only one arm.
Nice editing and sound too.

|This is a pretty good climb for nice mellow day when it's hot on the Front Range. I found some loose rock on the route and even more in the talus field, so be careful on the descent. There are 2 bolts at the top of the first pitch.

|Pitch 1 I found myself amidst the most technical climbing on this pitch looking at a slabby 50 footer. None of the climbing is super hard, but the crux of the route is pretty stingy as far as pro is concerned. In hindsight I may have been off route (not hard to do here since the guidebook is super-old and not very good). I did not encounter the afforementioned bolt.

A couple of variations:
P1: If you are with a beginner, or prefer to avoid the runout first pitch, there is a way to traverse in from the left directly to the bolt anchors at the top of the first pitch. Look for the path of least resistance a short scramble up from the first belay.
P2: about 50 feet up, head right, to the very edge of the arete. There is a sort of double arete in the shape of an "L", and by staying on the bottom of the "L", one finds nice exposure. The climbing is easy and there is pro.
Last pitch, approaching the top of the route: you are forced right about 175' from the top. If you then veer left, and then straight up, there is a nice variation that involves a short vertical face with an angled "fin" sticking out. Fun.

This is a great climb! If you want to keep the difficulty at the 5.6 level when you get up to small roof at the top of the thin crack on pitch 1, traverse right around the corner. If you go left, that leads to the poorly protected 5.8 mentioned above.
If you do go right, you will encounter several fixed pitons on your way to the first belay ledge. Note that the pins are hard to locate, so keep your eyes peeled.

Fun climb! 2 stars as a rock climb, 3 stars as an alpine style scramble! Did in 5 moderately long pitches, simuling the last along the ridge.
Bruce offers great advice concerning the first pitch. As he mentions, we traversed right at the roof and then up a steep and broken corner system with good (at least better) pro and 2 fixed pins. Looking down from the belay, the 5.8 variation looked fun and pretty clean but definitely R rated. Once you're past the first pitch, the rest of the climb is a breeze, enjoy it!
Also, crossing the creek right now is quite.... Exciting?

|As of 5/30/15, there was a fixed pin (knifeblade) which offered protection just after traversing under the roof on the left-hand variation of P1.
By JFM

An enjoyable route with minimal approach. This route can be done in 4 pitches with minimal simul-climbing on the final ridge-run to the summit.
P1 to bolted anchors at 40m; P2 to just past the big pine at 60m; P3 to the false summit at 50m; P4 along the ridge and into the trees, a 70m+ run, most of which is 4th class.
The walk-off is really crappy. Do yourself a favor and take the time to find the rap bolts near the top of the route unless you really like bushwhacking through thorns and sharp, dead pine branches.

|Fun outing! Straightforward- pitch 1 was nice...no biggie...lots of loose blocks throughout which added to the adventure. Unroped after 4 pitches, and the crest turned out to be the best of the climb! Awesome views! Fun, easy climb in tranquil setting. Nice exposure. Hike down stinks! Have fun.

|Staying right at the top of pitch 4 leads to steeper rock that was fun and challenging (5.7-5.8) and wel-protected. Also, we descended climber's right (south) which had little bushwhacking and the added bonus of passing by the Santa Rita Wall where one can do a little sport climbing.

Dam Road Culvert Replacement
PA ID# 023-733000-00; Town of Townshend
PW ID# 1803; Dam Road Culvert Replacement
Citation: FEMA-4022, Town of Townshend, Second Appeal/Dam Road Culvert Replacement
Reference: Codes and Standards; Hazard Mitigation
Summary: In August 2011, floodwaters resulting from Tropical Storm Irene washed out and destroyed an elliptical corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culvert located at Dam Road in the Town of Townshend (Applicant). The CMP was 120 feet long, 16 feet high, and 12 feet wide with a cross sectional area of 140 square feet. The Applicant replaced the CMP with a 28 foot wide, 7 foot high open bottomed, pre-cast concrete arched box culvert with a cross sectional area of 196 square feet for a total cost of $543,589. The Applicant asserted the upgrade was required by the Stream Alteration General Permit issued by the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. FEMA determined that the permitting process was discretionary; did not apply uniformly across the State; and did not meet FEMA's requirements for codes and standards at 44 CFR §206.226(d), Standards. Therefore, FEMA designated the culvert upgrade an improved project and prepared PW 1803 for $440,230 to fund an in-kind replacement of the original culvert with a 100 foot long and 14 foot diameter CMP. FEMA also approved funding for a mitigation concept adding wingwalls to both the inlet and outlet of the CMP. In its first appeal, the Applicant reiterated its argument that the culvert upgrade was required by the permitting process. The Regional Administrator denied the appeal on the basis that the permitting process does not establish any specific engineering design standards or measurable performance criteria that would be required to be followed in order to obtain approval for a replacement culvert nor does it require any specific method of construction for a replacement culvert or require specific upgrades from a CMP to an open bottomed arched box culvert. In its second appeal, the Applicant argues several points, among them that State's stream alteration statute and permitting process are not discretionary and require all covered work to attain and maintain stream equilibrium and to allow aquatic organism passage.
Issues: 1. Does the State's stream alteration statute and permitting process meet FEMA's regulatory requirements for codes and standards?
2. Is the culvert upgrade an eligible 406 Hazard Mitigation project?
Findings: 1. No.
2. Yes.
Rationale: 44 CFR §206.226(d), Standards; Recovery Policy 9526.1 Hazard Mitigation Funding under Section 406 (Stafford Act) dated March 30, 2010

NEW YORK CITY — Consumers can now charge their cellphones, PDAs and MP3 players on the fly and in a flash through a new line of Automated Charging Machines (ACMs) from Hercules Networks. The company recently began rolling out its charging stations in malls nationwide and aligned with its first vending operator partner who's placed units in hospitals, colleges and universities throughout New York City.
Hercules ACMs employ rapid-charging technology that allows busy on-the-go users to power up all types of mobile devices in 10 minutes for $2, payable with cash or credit card. The machine features 12 charging plugs with intuitive point-of-sale graphics that indicate specific names of compatible devices (e.g., Motorola Blackberry, iPod MP3, Motorola Nextel) highlighted by photos of each plug. Red and green LEDs offer a visual display of the charging process.
As customers wait for their electronic devices to charge, they are entertained by an LCD screen on the kiosk that plays the latest news, shows and sports clips through an "infotainment" partnership with the CBS television network. The 10- to 20-minute programming cycle loops continuously throughout the day. Each cycle consists of five to 10 minutes of news and entertainment with an equal amount of time devoted to advertisements. On a monthly basis, each station has 10 to 20 segments – 30 seconds apiece – available for ads. The team of advertising veterans at Hercules customizes national, regional and local advertising to maximize revenue at each location.
The machines are available in two freestanding 6-ft.-tall models, with a 19-in. or 32-in. LCD screen, along with a 3-ft. x 2-ft. graphic display that can be branded with a logo or image to suit each location. A 2-ft.-high wall-mounted style with a 17-in. display is also available.
Hercules Networks is seeking to expand its partnerships with vending operators nationwide, through which the operator purchases or leases the stations from Hercules and collects the $2 charging fee. In addition, Hercules adds the ACMs to its network and continues to remotely update programming and advertising content on a daily basis. The vending operator receives quarterly checks for the percentage of advertising that has been sold on his or her machines. The operator share varies from 15% to 35%, according to King, proportionate to the size of his or her network of machines.
"The feature the ACM offers that other vending products can't offer is that there is no restocking," King pointed out. "When a customer plugs his Blackberry in and pays $2, after his 10-minute charge, another customer can plug into that same port without having to replace anything. This makes the cost of doing business relatively small."
The primary maintenance requirement, according to the Hercules chief, is the occasional need to replace the charging tip, which gets worn from frequent use and can break when users inadvertently jam a device onto the wrong tip. Generally, one of the 12 tips must be replaced once or twice per month at a cost to the operator of $1 a piece, he noted.
Hercules began operating the initial 95 of its ACM units in malls throughout the U.S. early last month and CC Vending (Bronx, NY) simultaneously kicked off its partnership with the company as the first vending operation to deploy the charging stations.
"Hercules sees this as a win-win as we want to let vending operators do what they do best – finding the best locations, placing them, maintaining and collecting cash. And it lets Hercules do what they do best – sell advertising on a major network," CEO Paul King told VT.
He added that out-of-home, "in-your-face" promotion is the fastest-growing form of advertising and vending operators, with the help of the advertising experts at Hercules, are in a position to capture significant incremental revenue at the high-traffic locations they already serve. Hercules assumes the task of generating and overseeing ad content, but welcomes operator input, especially since those who serve the locations are often most aware of local businesses that might be interested in broadcasting their services.
Headquartered in New York City, King researched the local vending industry to identify the best-suited operator with whom to initiate a collaboration and found a receptive partner in CC Vending owner Mike Esposito, who operates vending equipment in high-profile hospitals and universities throughout the five boroughs. Esposito said he immediately saw the value in providing his customers with a unique new service for which he perceived a demand and was attracted by the potential revenue stream he could add through onscreen advertising.
"The $2 cost for each charge should quickly pay back my initial investment in the equipment and I see huge opportunity to profit from the virtually unlimited revenue stream provided through the advertising. We're just in the first month, but it seems like it's a win-win all the way around," he commented. "Patrons are still discovering the availability of the 17 ACMs we've placed in the lobbies of all the hospitals and colleges we serve. We are working with Hercules to track transactions and monitor the effects of the advertising, and I am very optimistic about the results we'll see."
Esposito said he's already received inquiries over course of the few weeks he's had the charging stations on location from local business owners, including an electrician and restaurateur, who patronize his vending machines and want to advertise their services on the ACMs. Judging by the early interest, he forsees eventually designating an advertising representative to pursue local opportunities and work with Hercules to maximize the program's potential.
"We plan to put out a lot more ACMs – potentially 100 units," Esposito summed up. "We see a big opportunity to put them in emergency waiting rooms and other parts of the hospitals where people find themselves with cellphones in need of a charge. And we expect to make heavy use of the adverting opportunity, but we're taking a 'walk before we run' stance since it's very new."
King added that Hercules is currently in talks with hotels, casinos, colleges, theme parks and restaurants and anticipates rapid expansion of the ACM network.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Planning, Environment and Realty's (HEP) Surface Transportation Environment and Planning Cooperative Research Program (STEP) ended on September 30, 2012. For current HEP research information, please see HEP's research web site.
Section 5207 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) established the Surface Transportation Environment and Planning Cooperative Research Program (STEP), and authorized $16.875 million per year for FY2006-FY2009 to implement this new program. The general objective of the STEP is to improve understanding of the complex relationship between surface transportation, planning and the environment.
Due to obligation limitations, rescissions and the over-designation of Title V Research in SAFETEA-LU, it is anticipated that approximately $12.8 million of the $16.875 million authorized will be available each year. STEP will also be the sole source of SAFETEA-LU funds available to conduct all FHWA research on planning and environmental issues. In addition, Congress mandated several special studies, i.e., Report on Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot Program (Section 1807 of SAFETEA-LU) and the Annual Report for the Surface Transportation Project Delivery Pilot Program (Section 6005(h) of SAFETEA-LU). STEP will also be the funding source for these projects. The FY2011 STEP budget totals $14.6 million. The FY2012 funding levels are subject to the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) appropriations process. The anticipated FY2012 STEP research efforts are preliminary and subject to change. MAP-21 repealed the STEP Program beginning October 1, 2012. Unobligated balances that remain available from the Program will continue to be administered under the applicable SAFETEA-LU requirements.

Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
My husband is very outdoorsy. We've been to so many weddings in Houston that we were ready for something fun and different. I had seen four other venues before this one, and I just knew when I saw it that was the perfect amount of rustic for my husband, and the perfect amount of chic for me!
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
My mom did so many DIY projects. All of the table decor was done by her. We collected old bottles, and she took apart all my old jewelry and decorated bottles and vases and votives. It was so enchanting. She worked so hard and was so good at it. So, I loved all the things my mom made. I also loved the dance my friends and bridesmaid's did. It was a surprise to everyone. It was a choreographed dance done after the garter toss to get the party started! And the last thing that was my favorite was of course saying my vows to my husband. During the ceremony there were gunshots in the distance and my nephew (5-year-old ring bearer) yelled, "Gunshots!!!" at the top of his lungs.
3. Give us the one moment in your wedding you can't stop thinking about.
Walking into the venue after we got married, took pictures, and seeing everyone smiling at us as we were walking in. It was just perfect. Took my breath away. My coordinator and HEB flowers and RTC Floristry did such a fantastic job decorating and bringing the exact feel of what I wanted my wedding to be like.

This happy miniature baker nutcracker is the first in the Nutcracker Guild series which was introduced in 1994. The ornament measures just 1 1/2 inches, but is sculpted in amazing detail with a mouth that opens and closes just like its larger counterpart. I have other ornaments from this series so I would be happy to combine shipping. Both the ornament and the box are in excellent condition. Thanks for visiting our site.

Go Big?
I always loved shooting archery as a kid. The question is, do I go balls out, and buy a HOYT Carbon Element? A CRX 32? These bows look MEAN as all HELL. The two questions I have are: Shouldn't I just buy once, and buy right? and if I did, would this be like a freshman taking a hooker to prom?
I haven't shot in about 25 years, so I am WAAAAY out of the game. My intentions are, target practice, turkey and deer hunting, and survival, should the zombies attack and I run out of ammo (Though me running out of ammo is not likely.... heh)
Basically, my wife says NO ! You're crazy !! I just need someone on here to tell me YES !! You're crazy NOT TO BUY IT !! Back me up fellas....
Also... I am in the Wallingford CT area. Just looking for some shout outs... and tips before I do any locale research for hands on shopping and ranges.
Welcome to the site!!
First off you will get many opinions on here about which brand of bow to buy. Most manufacture's make nice bow's today with a lot of similarities. The bow has to fit you. I look at eye appeal, weight and shortness first then if that passes then I check the draw cycle (how smoth it draws back)and also look at the brace height(distance between riser at ledge and string) and how forgiving the bow is. The faster the bow is the less forgiving it is in most cases. Don't be concerned with speed at this time. A 1500.00 dollar bow won't kill any better than a 200.00 dollar bow if it doesnt fit you.Take your time and go to many pro shop's and shoot many bows before you buy one.

Vortec... Good advice. I suppose I didn't give much thought to fit. Heck, my first and only bow was a fiberglass kids job, that someone in magic marker wrote "Robin Hood" on....
I have been doing a little looking, and Martin seems to make a nice bow,
and for something totally different Onieda (??) looks SUPER cool, but a bit cumbersome, and kind of complicated.
I need to find a place via the internet, in Connecticut, that is a real archery store. Cabellas seems to only stock Fred Bear.
Thanks for the thoughts.
What part of Michigan are you from? Are you a You-per? haha
Go and get yourself something that has a nice draw cycle and set the poundage down to start with.It'll take some time for your body to get bow fit again (after 25 years)and once this happens you can shoot anything you like.if you don't like the fit and the feel of your new toy then you aren't going to want to use it and a $1500.00 bow will make a nice wall hanging and the misses will remind you everytime she see's it how much it cost!As we get older the Aim of the game is to enjoy yourself and kick the little punks a$$es every chance we get!!!!LOL

All I have to say is.... HOYT Alpha Elite.... WOW. That is a seriously nice bow.
Blacked out. WOW. I found Halls Arrow here in Middlefield Connecticut, and I hope to get up there soon.
Ant, your situation sounds almost exactly like mine! Fiberglass 30# bow when I was a kid (way back!), and trying to figure out what to get on limited budget. One of my problems has been the time and distance it takes to try out different bows. One shop will have only Bowtech, another shop only PSE, etc. For me, closest Hoyt dealer is about 70 miles away, so I have not seen a Hoyt bow yet. Keep us posted on what you decide.

First and foremost is getting measured for draw length. Then look at bows that are adjustable at least 1" shorter than this measurement, up and down
1". 2" would be even better as most people seem to shoot too long a draw anyway. Being able to adjust a module without having to change cams can save a lot of headaches and money in the long run.
Next I would advise not overbowing yourself, meaning don't go too high on draw weight. Many people get caught up in numbers and think that the more kinetic energy a bow produces the better it will kill. This is far from the truth. What's more important is being able to shoot accurately and that means that to learn how to shoot properly you should not have to struggle with the bow.
It's no secret that a bow must be aesthetically appealing to a person. If you like the looks then you're more likely to shoot better in the first place. Every bow maker has good bows so this should not be an issue. Take your time and try many. You might find that the most expensive models just aren't what you thought they might be.Martin/Rytera Silver Star Shooter

OK, So am new to this forum and this is my first post here but dont think what I am going to say is coming from a rookie. I have been shooting for many many years in comp and hunting. First and foremost you need to research your local shops. If you have never repaired a bow then you will need some help with set-up, adjustments and general knowledge of when things are wearing out. You also will need a source for consumables like : arrows, string and cables, loops, ect..... If your local shop wont or cant work on the bow you buy then you will have to send it out and that cost more as well as I don't want anyone touching my bow that I dont know and trust. So shop your locals and get all the info you can. PSE, Mathews, Hoyt ect... all good. see what your locals have that fits you and enjoy.

THOMASVILLE, GA -- Flowers Foods Inc. today announced it has signed two purchase agreements with Hostess Brands Inc. as the "stalking horse bidder" for certain Hostess assets. One of the agreements provides for the purchase by Flowers of the Wonder, Nature's Pride, Merita, Home Pride and Butternut bread brands; 20 bakeries; and approximately 38 depots for a purchase price of $360 million. The other agreement provides for the purchase by Flowers of the Beefsteak brand for $30 million.
The transactions are subject to a court-approved bankruptcy process being initiated by Hostess. If Flowers' stalking horse bids are approved by the bankruptcy court, the bids would then be subject to a competitive auction process to be held several weeks from now. The company would expect to close the transactions shortly following court approval if it is selected as the winning bidder. The transactions also are subject to regulatory clearance.
Flowers Foods has previously stated its interest in acquiring certain Hostess assets should they become available. "This agreement is consistent with Flowers Foods' long-term growth objectives to reach significantly more of the U.S. population with its fresh breads, buns, and rolls," said George E. Deese, chairman and chief executive officer of Flowers Foods. "We believe these assets would enhance our ability, over time, to provide more U.S. consumers with quality baked foods at a good value through existing and new retail and foodservice customers."
Based on the current bid price, Flowers Foods would expect the transactions to be accretive to earnings in 2013. Flowers Foods plans to finance the transactions through a mix of available cash on hand and debt.
Headquartered in Thomasville, GA, Flowers Foods Inc. (NYSE: FLO) is the second-largest producer and marketer of packaged bakery foods for retail and foodservice customers in the U.S. with annual sales of more than $3 billion. Flowers operates 44 bakeries that produce a wide range of bakery products. These products currently are sold through a direct-store-delivery network with access to more than 70% of the U.S. population in the East, South and Southwest, as well as in certain markets in California. Select Flowers products are sold nationwide through customers' delivery systems. Among the company's top brands are Nature's Own and Tastykake.

Senate gun control bill passes first test
The Senate on Thursday ended a GOP filibuster on a new gun control bill, clearing the way for debate to begin on a hugely emotional issue that has dominated headlines since the tragic December shooting in Newtown, Conn.
The vote was 68-31.
It's a big win for Democrats in that 16 Republicans crossed the aisle to even consider the gun legislation, but the vote is only the opening move in what could be a drawn-out floor fight that will center on a deal unveiled Wednesday by Sens. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) that would require background checks on all commercial gun sales and end the so-called "gun show loophole."
Two Democrats - Sens. Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Mark Begich of Alaska sided with the Republicans and voted to continue the filibuster.

Kesha is lending her vocals to a new song from Pitbull called "Timber."
The pop singer and rapper spent the summer co-headlining a summer tour, in support of Kesha's Warrior and Pitbull's Global Warning, both released last November. The Dr. Luke-produced "Timber" will be featured on the rapper's next release, and will be available to download on iTunes starting October 13th.
The song was unveiled on Monday's "On Air with Ryan Seacrest." Pitbull told the radio show that he and Kesha "hit it off" while on tour, adding "what better than to have a crazy, sexy, cool beautiful woman on it with me."
Listen to the full interview below:
Pitbull also references Miley Cyrus in the first verse of his new song, rapping that he likes women "face down, booty up."

This was one of the dullest pre-gamers of the season.
The news, as you all know already, is that Avery and Eminger are back in, Wolski and Gilroy are prucha'd tonight.
The last question of the press conference was whether the Rangers will wear their white jerseys again tonight. Tortorella said he didn't know, and that was that.
John Tortorella:
On Wolski:
"Again, each day, if I change the lineup I'm not gonna pick through the player with you guys. It's just, I think, he needs to be better in certain areas. So Aves will go back in. He wasn't horrible. Just needs to be better in certain areas. Same with Gilly. Wasn't horrible. But we'll go with these two guys tonight."
On whether the opponent played into the decision:
"Not a whole bunch, no."
On what he liked best on the trip:
"Winning the second game. … We defended much better. We were full of holes in Anaheim. We just weren't the same defensively. And I thought we defended much better (in San Jose). Third period I thought we were on our heels a bit. Hank came up real big for us. But we played more our style in San Jose than we did against Anahiem."
On what's different with the Isles since the last time they played:
"I haven't even watched them. Haven't even watched them. Nope. I've been concentrating on our team and how we're going to play. … (That's been the approach) all year long. The only thing we really show on the opposing team is special teams. We have an idea what to expect 5-on-5, but in today's game, at least he way I feel about it, is it's about you. It's not about the other team. So we're just trying to get better as we go along here."
On the home struggles and what element he'd like to bring to a home game:
"Win it. Win a home game. I get asked that all the time, as far as what's going on at home. I can't put my finger on a specific thing that we can change to help us win. I think we've done some really good things at home and lost games, we've done some really good things on the road and lost games, we've had some good starts here, we've had bad starts; same thing on the road. It's just a matter of when we lose a hockey game … we've been competitive all year long, basically, in all our games, other than maybe 3-4 games. It's just making a big play at a key time, maybe not having a big mistake at a key time. So I can't differentiate home or away."
On his four power-play point men:
"I have an idea of what I want to start the game with, when we have (a PP), but I think it depends sometimes. (McCabe) is going to be there, Marc Staal is going to be there, and from there I'm not sure what I'm going to do … I have an idea how I want to start our first, when we get a power play. I have four people that I know I'm going to use. Then as the game goes on, we'll just see how it goes. … depends on situations, what's going on with the game, time of the game, all that stuff."
On whether guys have been told to keep their shots down in practice since the Biron injury:
"Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. We're trying to score goals. I know someone wrote about it, it got back to me, someone was talking to one of the players: you should just step out of the net and give them (carcillo). I have a pretty good idea who said it. But I don't believe in that. I think you need to practice hard. We give them enough (cooke) about scoring goals; they're going to try to score goals. It's like top players fighting. Everybody worries about breaking their hand. It's part of the game. And practicing, we ask them to practice as hard as possible, and that includes shooting the puck."
On Chad Johnson:
"If I played (him) here in this situation — because I think Hank has gotten enough rest — I'm not sure if it's going to happen, but he has practiced well. It's certainly not an idea situation to put a guy in, where we're at right now. But we have confidence in him. He's practiced very well, and I talk to Ben every day about it. He's done his work, so push comes to shove, he plays. And then we play in front of him. We have confidence in him.
"I think the schedule is good for us, especially with the rest (Lundqvist) got during the year … he got plenty of rest. I think he'll play under 70 this year if he plays the rest of these. That's what we're looking for, and he's feeling pretty good about himself right now, so we'll go with him and see what happens."
"Aves will play with Step and Zucc."
On McCabe:
"He's helped our power play. It's a hard situation for Caber. He comes from (a situation where) he plays 20 minutes. He's used to playing more. We use our top four a lot, of late, here. We're very comfortable with our top four. We feel they're better suited as far as that ice time. And the thing I love about Caber, he's handled himself very well. It was kind of, and I'm sure it still is, it's hard for him to sit on the bench because he wants to compete, and wants to make a difference. I just like the way he's joined in with the club, and how the boys react to him and how he reacts to them. He's helped our power play, gets the shot through, which is the most important thing, and is just a gamer. I just like his fit. The way we're trying to play, and what we're trying to be as a team, I think he has the personality that matches it. We're trying to (find him more minutes). I just think the other four are better defensively, and we're playing in such close games, we're careful there. It's not like Caber has to learn a whole new system here. We just think the other four guys, and I told Bryan this, that the other four guys, we feel, are better defensively and they're going to get the lion's share of certain situations in the game. But I think as he gets more comfortable in his role, we'd like to get him some more. It dictates, as far as what's going on in the game and who we're playing and what players we're playing against."
On Sauer:
"I've been impressed with him since he made the team. I wasn't sure where he was going to be when camp opened, and when camp broke, he made the club on how he played and has developed into a really good player for us — not only defensively. He doesn't have big numbers, but he scores a huge goal for us the other night. He's really good, not as far as joining the rush, but with the way we try to forecheck and rotate pucks and grind underneath the hash. He's really good at jumping in at the right times."

Valentine's Day Spending On The Rise
Now that the Super Bowl is over, it's time to countdown to — Valentine's Day.
Times are tough these days and Americans are trying hard to save as much as possible. However, Valentine's Day is fast approaching and despite a poor economy, experts are predicting a rise in Valentine's Day spending.
The National Retail Federation conducted a survey and found that Americans will spend about 11 percent more this year than last year. They predict an average of $116 spent on gifts for loved ones, friends, co-workers, teachers and pets.
That's right, pets – 18 percent of those questioned said they planned to by a gift for their pets. (Yeah I read that line twice also – I think Max may get a bit longer of a walk.)
Overall, it's shoppers in the 25 to 34 age range who will spend the most this year.

Report: Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez reunite over Fourth Of July weekend
Listen to Selena Gomez on iHeartRadio | Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are fueling rumors of a reconciliation. The on-and-off pop star couple is rumored to have spent their Fourth of July weekend together, after Bieber posted a photo with Selena on his Instagram page with the caption "#heartbreaker," which also happens to be the title of his upcoming single.
According to E! News, social media provided several more hints that the two had reunited over the holiday. One of Bieber's close friends Alfredo Flores posted a video on his micro-blogging page featuring Selena, suggesting that the two had attended the same party. Selena also made appearances in photos and videos of Justin's other friends like rapper Lil' Twist and Jas Prince.
Since their breakup earlier this year, Selena has been linked to British singer Ed Sheeran and Austin Mahone. Justin, too, made headlines late last month for reportedly kissing an aspiring model in Las Vegas.

For current announcements, visit the SAP News Center»
SAP NEWSBYTE - SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced the SAP® Insurance Analyzer analytic application to address two of the most challenging regulatory topics facing the insurance industry today. A new integrated finance and risk software solution, the application aims to help insurance companies seamlessly address the upcoming new accounting standards for insurance contracts (IFRS4) and the Solvency II standard model. The announcement was made at the SAP Forum for Insurance, being held on June 12-13 in Cologne, Germany.
The insurance industry today is challenged by a wave of new regulations in financial reporting and risk management, including Solvency II and IFRS4. Coupling new regulations with existing IT challenges, such as complex and fragmented system landscapes and insufficient data quality, insurance companies are in search of a new approach that enables them to adapt to new regulations, while improving data management and data quality.
In a recent Solvency II report Gartner makes the recommendation to "…Analyze, together with the business department, potential solution synergies between Solvency II and IFRS4. The delay of the regulatory framework should be an incentive to review your entire system architecture and reporting infrastructure."*
SAP Insurance Analyzer is intended to enable insurance companies to move away from expensive and risky tactical approaches, putting SAP at the forefront of providing an integrated standard approach for IFRS4 and Solvency II. The analytic application aims to provide the architecture and technology to drive an integrated finance and risk vision, while offering business content to address IFRS4 and Solvency II requirements. Planned features include:

The American Institute for Shippers' Associations, Inc. defines Shippers' Associations as:
"Shippers' Associations generally are non-profit transportation membership cooperatives which arrange for the domestic or international shipment of members' cargo. Associations will contract for the physical movement of the cargo with motor carriers, railroads, ocean carriers, air carriers, and others. The ability to aggregate cargo and ship the collective membership cargo at favorable volume rates is the key to the existence of the modern day Shippers' Association."
Shippers' associations allow multiple shippers to pool their volumes in order to increase shipment volumes. With a larger shipment volume, the shippers' association may be able to negotiate volume discounts or service contracts with ocean carriers on behalf of its members.
Shipper's Associations can be located in many local business telephone directories or by searching the web.
The following list is provided for your benefit. U.S. companies should evaluate all shipping options and determine which one is best suited for their situation.

The national carrier also won 'Best Airline Signature Dish' for Satay
Subang, 19 June 2013 : Malaysia Airlines received its 5-star Airline Certification at the SKYTRAX World Airline Awards™ 2013, joining an elite group of airlines for their truly consistent and high quality of product and service.
Announced yesterday at a ceremony held at the world-renowned Paris Air Show 2013 in Le Bourget, France, Malaysia Airlines also received the prestigious accolade of 'Best Airline Signature Dish' for its Satay, a traditional Malay dish, served in the First and Business Class cabins. This is the airlines' second year running to win this award.
The World Airline Awards™ are the global benchmark for airline excellence, with travellers from over 160 countries and more than 100 nationalities taking part each year in the world's largest independent passenger satisfaction survey to decide the award winners.
These awards are significant achievements for Malaysia Airlines as it recognizes the essence of Malaysian hospitality and is integral to the Malaysia Airlines' experience.
Malaysia Airlines' on-board dining was also selected as the best in the skies, with the signature Satay, Malaysian grilled chicken and beef skewers in spicy peanut sauce, given the accolade of best signature dish on-board any airline.
Receiving the awards at the ceremony, Malaysia Airlines' Group CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya thanked his team for their commitment in providing true Malaysian Hospitality. "With so much competition, even within our niche of premium full service carriers, it is an honour that Malaysia Airlines is once again recognised for its high service delivery levels and products"
"This is led by our flagship A380 fleet. We are also excited about the arrival of more new aircraft in 2013 and beyond, making our fleet one of the youngest in the region by the end of this year. This will enable us to offer an improved level of guest experience as part of Malaysia Airlines' vision to become the preferred premium carrier," he added.
Malaysia Airlines' wishes to provide seamless service to passengers both on-ground and in-flight with its latest developments including the introduction of new checked baggage allowance of 50, 40 and 30 kg for First, Business and Economy Class respectively and collaborating with guest Chefs in developing special menus for its passengers.
The national carrier marked the entry of its first A380 into its fleet by having its Five-Star Airline status renewed by Skytrax last year– as the airline embarked on a series of improvements to reposition it as a premium carrier.
Earlier this year, Malaysia Airlines joined oneworld alliance which has been named 'World's Best Airline Alliance' at the SKYTRAX World Airline Awards™ 2013— as it strengthens its competitiveness, enabling it to offer customers an unrivalled alliance global network served by partners including some of the best and biggest airlines in the world.

EPA's Regulation of Greenhouse Gases: What are the Facts?
With EPA's recent announcement of timelines for additional regulation of greenhouse gases (utility and refinery sectors) and the arrival in town this week of the new Congress, the shouting about EPA's regulatory actions has already begun. Many of these claims are clearly political posturing – the facts are that schools, churches, and libraries will NOT be subject to regulations, there will NOT be a moratorium on all new industrial facilities for at least 18 months, and new coal plants will NOT be banned. But it is also true that regulating greenhouse gases (GHGs) has the potential to substantially impact our economy and is critical to reducing the risks and costs associated with climate change. The critical challenge facing EPA is how to properly balance the costs of reducing GHG emissions against the benefits of limiting climate change. How EPA balances these interests demands a serious discussion. In an effort to lower the volume and better inform future discussions about EPA's use of its regulatory authority, the following are key factors that should be considered.
1. EPA is not overreaching by regulating greenhouse gases (GHGs) under the Clean Air Act but is doing so in direct response to the Supreme Court's 2007 ruling in Mass. v. EPA.
Some have incorrectly claimed that EPA has overstepped its authority in regulating greenhouse gases and is attempting to regulate GHGs even though Congress failed to pass climate legislation last year. In fact, it is the Supreme Court in 2007 that clarified that EPA had the authority to regulate GHGs under the existing Clean Air Act. EPA had denied a petition by some states and environmental groups calling on it to begin regulating GHGs under the existing Clean Air Act. The Supreme Court rejected EPA's claim that the Clean Air Act does not apply to GHGs and held that these emissions meet the definition of an "air pollutant" under the Act. The court held that "under the Act's clear terms, EPA can avoid promulgating regulations only if it determines that greenhouse gases do not contribute to climate change or if it provides some reasonable explanation as to why it cannot or will not exercise its discretion to determine whether they do." Based on its extensive review of the scientific evidence in its endangerment finding, EPA reached the only conclusion that the evidence supported – that GHG emissions cause or contribute to air pollution, which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare and, therefore, are subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act.
2. EPA's regulations will not require unproven technologies, impose excessive costs at a time when our economy is hurting, or harm small and previously unregulated sources.
There are legitimate concerns that the Clean Air Act was not developed specifically with GHGs in mind and these emissions are different in fundamental ways from traditional hazardous and criteria pollutants covered by the Act. As a result, EPA has gone to great lengths to "tailor" its regulations -- for example, with respect to new source permitting -- in such a way that only the largest sources of GHGs are covered. This tailoring rule has been challenged in courts (along with all other GHG regulations). If it is overturned, Congressional intervention would likely be necessary. But the Clean Air Act includes many provisions that minimize compliance costs, and many of its fundamental requirements apply equally well to regulating GHGs. For example, the Act requires that technological feasibility and costs be considered in setting emission performance standards and allows for different requirements for new and existing sources. In its guidance to states on what constitutes "best available control technology," EPA has focused on energy efficiency technologies as a means to achieve both reductions in GHG emissions and cost savings to firms. The agency has also made it clear that the use of coal as a fuel can be continued under its guidelines. While EPA regulations will impose some costs on firms, based on guidance to date, those costs are likely to be modest and will result in far greater benefits than costs to society.
3. Delaying any EPA regulatory actions would be bad for business and bad for the climate.
Delaying regulations by EPA will allow some firms to avoid compliance costs in the near term but will increase overall costs over the longer term. For firms in states already facing GHG requirements (e.g., utilities in 10 northeast and mid-Atlantic states, large emitters in California), any delay in EPA regulations are not likely to alter the requirements they face. For firms in other locations that are planning facilities with long lifetimes, some are likely to install the same technology that would be required by EPA in an effort to avoid more expensive retrofits in the near future. These firms would prefer the certainty of knowing what regulatory requirements they must meet prior to making large capital investments. Finally, delay in reducing GHG emissions will result in greater economic harm throughout our society as families and communities face the costs associated with increases in extreme weather (droughts and floods), impacts from sea level rise, limits on the availability of water resources, and other climate impacts.
4. EPA's regulatory actions are not a form of backdoor cap and trade or an energy tax.
Congress rejected a comprehensive cap-and-trade approach to regulating GHG in its last session. EPA's approach does not rely on a cap-and-trade regime and is far from comprehensive. EPA's regulations focused first on the transportation sector with the issuance of widely supported standards for light-duty vehicles and proposed standards for medium and heavy-duty vehicles. On the stationary source side, EPA first targeted the largest new sources and major modifications of existing sources and recently announced plans to develop new source performance standards for the electric utility and refinery sectors. Such standards are the traditional approach used under the Clean Air Act and are generally implemented through state programs.The regulations are being developed on a timeframe consistent with Clean Air Act requirements covering other pollutants to allow covered sources the flexibility of developing compliance plans that cost-effectively meet a comprehensive set of requirements.
5. EPA is not attempting to meet the same reduction requirements that were rejected by the last Congress.
The House-passed climate change bill called for reductions in GHG emissions of 17 percent of 2005 levels by 2020, increasing to reductions of over 80 percent by 2050. EPA's use of the Clean Air Act is not likely to produce emission reductions of the magnitude or in the timeframe set forth in the legislation proposed last year.
6. Important questions do need to be addressed in moving forward.
EPA's initial set of regulations represent an important beginning in addressing the risks associated with climate change but also raise important issues. In moving forward, several questions will need to be addressed:
* How will EPA's regulation be implemented in a manner consistent with current and future state actions?
* Given market forces driving utilities toward increased use of natural gas, the regulatory uncertainty that currently exists, and the age and fuel mix of the current utility fleet, what is the likely future role of coal in this sector?
* As EPA moves forward in regulating stationary sources through the use of emission performance standards, how might it be able to provide flexibility to regulated sources to achieve cost-effective reductions?
* How might EPA regulatory actions specific to utilities interact with possible Congressional interest in a clean energy standard?

Ryanair bid for
Aer Lingus off
Even the third time may not be the charm for Ryanair's attempt to take over Ireland's flag carrier Aer Lingus. Ryanair, Europe's largest budget airline, said it was told the European Commission "intends to prohibit" its nearly $942 million bid for Aer Lingus. Ryanair said its proposed concessions did not go far enough to allay antitrust concerns.
Avon quarterly
loss widened
Avon Products, the world's largest door-to-door cosmetics seller, said its fourth quarter loss widened to $162.2 million, or 37 cents per share, from a loss of $400,000, or essentially break even, for the same period a year earlier. Excluding restructuring charges and other items, Avon would have posted a profit of 37 cents per share.
Coca-Cola's 4Q
profit increased
Coca-Cola Co., the world's largest soft-drink maker, said its fourth quarter profit rose 13 percent on higher sales volumes in North America. Net income climbed to $1.87 billion, or 41 cents a share, from $1.66 billion, or 36 cents, a year earlier. Revenue advanced 3.8 percent to $11.46 billion.
Intel to sell TV
set-top boxes
Intel Corp. is developing a set-top box that brings Internet-delivered movies and shows to TV sets. The device is coming this year. Erik Huggers, general manager of Intel Media, said the company plans to sell a box that will offer "a vastly superior experience" to today's cable boxes. He said Intel was motivated to get into the business after realizing it needed to control every aspect of the service, from chips to software, to get it right.
Comcast to buy
GE's NBC stake
Comcast is buying General Electric's 49 percent stake in the NBCUniversal joint venture for $16.7 billion several years early. Comcast initially bought a majority stake in the television and movie company in 2011. It originally planned to take a larger stake in NBCUniversal over a seven-year period, but decided to take advantage of low borrowing costs and "a very attractive price."
G7 nations seek to
calm currency fears
The world's major industrial nations sought to soothe fears of an impending currency war, pledging they will avoid devaluing their currencies in the pursuit of growth as they seek to avoid a 1930s-style spiral of retaliatory devaluations in which weak economies try to boost exports by driving currencies down. The pledge follows concerns that Japan's new campaign to beat deflation is an attempt to weaken the yen.
McGraw readies
S&P defense
Standard & Poor's is prepared to spend years beating back a federal civil lawsuit accusing the company of giving falsely high ratings to mortgage investments that helped trigger the financial crisis, S&P parent McGraw-Hill said. The remarks came during a call about McGraw-Hill's fourth quarter earnings.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Fashion's obsession with all things rockabilly is long over, but Crown Mercantile still carries a wide selection of retro-inspired bowling shirts, from the understated to the full-on psycho-billy. Don't forget the witty T-shirts to go under them, or the excellent accessories to finish off the look. And for the ladies waiting for their stray (straight-gay) to stop preening, there's a host of smart skirts, blouses and housewares to peruse. Good style never goes out of fashion.
You're at a hot concert, but you're running out of cash for cold beer. Bummer, dude. But wait -- it's the Fabulous Free ATMobile to the rescue! Last summer, Compass Bank rolled out a customized mobile van that visits fairs, festivals, concerts and sporting events (it made its debut at the Elephant Rock Cycling Festival in Castle Rock), dispensing fee-free cash from two NCR machines. There's no such thing as a totally free lunch, of course: While the service is free no matter where you bank, you'll have to work hard to avoid all the Compass marketing materials touting other services.
Parking in Cherry Creek is a nightmare -- no two ways about it. Oblivious pedestrians stream through the streets, giant-ass SUVs block sight lines, and the few parking garages are so narrow that using them requires a death wish. Hopping the bus to the swanky district doesn't have the cache of arriving in, say, a new Mini Cooper or a Crossfire -- but a bike, well, there's a certain charm to two wheels. And the Cherry Creek Bike Rack is there to care for your speedster. Tucked between the Janus building and Hapa Sushi, the tiny shop functions much like a coat check: Employees lock your bike up tight and give you a claim ticket so you can return in a few hours, at the end of the day -- or even the next, if you down a few too many at the Cherry Cricket. Best of all, the service is free, thanks to the feds. The boys in Washington gave a grant to Denver-based Transportation Solutions, which advocates for better -- you guessed it -- transportation solutions. The public-private partnership then teamed up with Campus Cycles to set up the Bike Rack. Happy trails.
Yes, we all know that parking in Cherry Creek is terrible. There's never enough space, the meter rates are murder, and valet? Forget it. No one wants some nose-picking dweeb in a rented blazer getting his goat stink all over the leather of the new Lexus. But here's a secret: Just north of the intersection of Third Avenue and Columbine Street is a stretch of road where parking is not only available, but free. It's not the most convenient location in all of Cherry Creek, but during the six o'clock dinner rush when every spot within six blocks has been taken, there always seems to be room for one more. And you know what they say: Beggars can't be choosers.
The construction of Wewatta Street in the Platte Valley from 15th Street to Park Avenue West is finally complete, making it the best parking in LoDo. The hordes have yet to find this convenient oasis, which, at the moment, remains meter- and pay-kiosk-free. Just pull over, step out, walk across the Union Station light-rail platform and hop the 16th Street Mall shuttle to your drinking destination. Or you can enjoy the evening while strolling along 16th Street: Wewatta is just one block from Wynkoop Street. The strip between 16th and 19th streets has a two-hour-parking restriction until 10 p.m., but local nightlife doesn't get started until after 10, anyway. And there's no street sweeping after 2 a.m., so if your night is a little too eventful, feel free to leave your car and take a cab.
Have pocket bike, will travel. Boulder-based NightRiders has been caring for Pearl Street Mall drunks for nearly five years, and last September the company finally brought its for-hire designated drivers to the LoDo-reveling throngs. The best part is, they drive you home in your own vehicle -- returning on their collapsible scooters -- so you never have to bum a ride back to your car the next morning. Just dial them up, and they're on their way. Cheers!

High Tech Greek: Seminarians Absorb Language in Skype Classroom
21 March 2012 • Faculty News • By Deborah (Malacky) Belonick
Every Wednesday morning at St. Vladimir's, New Testament Greek becomes a high tech enterprise, as Timothy Clark, our faculty member who lives in Portland, Oregon, connects via Skype to his students on our campus in Yonkers, New York. Clark holds the position of Lecturer in Old Testament at the seminary.
So, how does it feel to get up at 6:15 a.m. Pacific Time to teach a Biblical Language class at 9:15 a.m. Eastern Standard Time?
"I have to admit that from the perspective that the camera angle gives me—I'm posted a few feet above and away from the seminar table—I feel a bit like the floating green head from the Wizard of Oz, though I don't think that my students shake and tremble before me as much as they should!" Professor Clark joked.
"It's taken some time to get used to it," he continued, "but there's still plenty of room for interaction and engagement with the class. The Greek class has always had a lot of back-and-forth between me and the students, since the only way to really get into the nuts and bolts of a language is to dive with them into the nuances of grammar, syntax, and style, and Skype lets me continue to do that," he noted.
"We've been experimenting with camera angles and microphone placements, and we seem to have gotten to a place where the students and I can speak easily with each other and explore the text in ways that are beneficial in advancing both their language knowledge and their understanding of some of the special qualities of New Testament literature. It's enjoyable to be so far away but still be able to teach New Testament within the shared assumptions of SVOTS's Orthodox context," he concluded.
The seminary continues to explore the possibilities of distance-learning, via webinars, ITunes University, and Skype Classrooms, as well as a new D.Min. program, designed by our recently hired Assistant Professor of Homiletics and Rhetoric, Fr. J. Sergius Halvorsen, to be a hybrid distance-residential learning program.

Journalists Blast 'Chilling' Seizure of AP's Records
(NEWSER) – News that the government seized two months of phone records from the Associated Press has drawn blistering criticism of the White House from a wide variety of news organizations, Politico reports. Fox's Greta Van Susteren says the Justice Department's action "sounds like a dragnet to intimidate the media" instead of a criminal investigation, while CNN's John King said the move "sends a chilling message from the government to people in our business and the AP, I think, is justifiably outraged."

Amenorrhea - primaryPrimary amenorrhea; No periods - primary; Absent periods - primary; Absent menses - primary; Absence of periods - primary
Amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation. Menstruation is a woman's monthly period.
Primary amenorrhea is when a girl has not yet started her monthly periods, and she:
- Has gone through other normal changes that occur during puberty
- Is older than 15
Most girls begin menstruating between ages 9 and 18, with an average of around 12 years old. Primary amenorrhea typically occurs when a girl is older than 15, if she hasgone throughother normal changes that occur during puberty. Primary amenorrhea may occur with or without other signs of puberty.
Being born with poorly formed genital or pelvic organscan lead to primary amenorrhea. Some of these defects include:
- Blockages or narrowing of the cervix
- Imperforate hymen
- Missing uterus or vagina
- Vaginal septum
Hormones play a big role in a woman's menstrual cycle. Hormone problems can occur when:
- Changes occur to the parts of the brain where hormones that help manage the menstrual cycle are produced
- The ovaries are not working correctly
Either of these problems may be due to:
- Anorexia
- Chronic or long-term illnesses, such as cystic fibrosisor heart disease
- Genetic defects or disorders
- Infections that occur in the womb or after birth
- Other birth defects
- Poor nutrition
- Tumors
In many cases, the cause of primary amenorrhea is not known.
A female with amenorrhea will have no menstrual flow with or without other signs of puberty.
Exams and Tests
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history. A pregnancy test will be done.
Blood tests may include:
Other tests that may be done include:
- 17 hydroxyprogesterone
- Chromosome analysis
- Head CT scan
- Head MRI scan
- Pelvic ultrasound
- Serum progresterone
Treatment depends on the cause of the missing period. Primary amenorrhea caused by birth defects may require medications (hormones), surgery, or both.
If the amenorrhea is caused by a tumor in the brain (pituitary tumor):
- Medications may shrink certain types of tumors.
- Surgery to remove the tumor may also be needed.
- Radiation therapy is usually only performed when other treatments have not worked.
If the condition is caused by a body-wide (systemic) disease, treatment of the disease may allow menstruation to begin.
If the amenorrhea is due to anorexia or too much exercise, periods will often begin when the weight returns to normal or the exercise level is decreased.
If the amenorrhea cannot be corrected, medicines can sometimes create a menstrual-like situation (pseudomenstruation). Medicines can help the woman feel more like her friends and family, and protect the bones from becoming too thin (osteoporosis).
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outlook depends on the cause of the amenorrhea and whether it can be corrected with treatment or lifestyle changes.
Periods are unlikely to start on their own if the amenorrhea was caused by one of the following conditions:
- Congenital defects of the upper genital system
- Craniopharyngioma
- Cystic fibrosis
- Genetic disorders
You may have emotional distress because you feel different from friends or family, or worry that you might not be able to have children.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your daughter is older than 15 and has not yet begun menstruating, or if she is 14 and shows no other signs of puberty.

January 1991 marks the month Airtec Gmbh Co KG opened it's doors and started selling the CYbernetic Parachute RElease System. Airtec did it! They built an AAD to be proud of!
Features:Water-resistant up to 15 minutes at a depth of 15 feet ( 5 meters) in fresh and salt water. Power supply is maintenance free for the user. No need to observe a battery replacement date, record the number of jumps made, monitor the voltage during the self-test, purchase a battery or have a rigger open or repack the reserve for this reason. No one has to pay attention to the power supply.Unit serial number accessible from the display.Next maintenance due date accessible from the display.Reminds you when the maintenance due date becomes closer.Small and light.Robust, rigger friendly case, rounded corners and edges.Wide maintenance window. +/- 6 months after 5 and 10 years from month of manufacture, no down-time, during the busy part of the year regardless of the month of manufacture. For units since January 1st 2017 - service life 15.5 years
Optimized Parameters:Self-test is completed in 10 seconds.Changing altitude reference - same procedure but quicker to do.
Proven Features:Activation altitudes.Activation velocities.Altitude reference adjustment.Always actual ground level by automatic compensation of weather related air pressure changes.User interface (Single push button).Loop cutting system.Cypres closing loop system.14 hours run time.factory integrated set-up in the rig
Usage:After purchase, put it in your Cypres-ready container and forget about it for 4 years*.Then have the maintenance done and forget about it for another 4 years*.Then have the maintenance done again and forget about it for another 4 years*.*Except for switching it on at the beginning of the day,and changing the filter after a landing in water.
Installation - All new rigs are Cypres ready.
Since 1994, all major parachute rig manufacturers around the world have incorporated the spandex pouch which accomodates the Expert Cypres 2 unit, the plastic pocket for the control unit, and the channels for the unit cables as a standard. These integrated installations are a co-design between the rig manufacturers and Airtec, and are tested and approved by both.
Handling - Set it and forget it!The use of the Expert Cypres 2 does not restrict skydiving in any way. The handling of the Expert Cypres 2 is extremely simple. It requires only one switch on procedure per day done prior to the first jump of the day. Only if you have left the dropzone, should you repeat the procedure before the next jump. That's it! No switch-off is necessary at the end of the day.
Changes in air pressure caused by the weather are taken care of automatically. If you want to jump into a DZ of another elevation, you can easily program this into the Expert Cypres 2 unit. Simply hold the button during the switch-on procedure until you see the required altitude difference on the display.
You do not see, hear, or feel this equipment, and it will not affect you unless you are extremely close to the ground and still in freefall. Only then it comes into play, cutting your reserve container closing loop, allowing your reserve to deploy. That is its only task. This little job, though, has saved thousands of skydiver's lives - skydivers of all experience levels.
Maintenance / Lifetime / Reliability -Yes!Airtec provides unsurpassed quality and a lifetime warranty for 15.5 years, including a unique and free worldwide repair service (with the exception of shipping fees) as long as the scheduled maintenance is performed and there are no signs of negligence, tampering, or intentional damage.
There is a suggested maintenance 5 years after production and 10 years after production and the lifetime is 15.5 years. For units since January 1st 2017 - service life 15.5 years
Remember - Expert Cypres 2 is strictly a backup device and is not intended to replace proper training or timely execution of appropriate emergency procedures.
Expert Cypres 2 - 1 PinWhatever you can think of under the canopy, like stalls, spiral turns, down planes, hookturns with the smallest canopies, as well as any CRW, Expert Cypres 2 won't interfere with any activities while skydiving. It activates when it detects a rate of descent higher than 78mph (35m/sec) at an altitude of approximately 750ft above ground level (AGL). (Typical freefall speed in a box position is approximately 111 miles per hour).
