Michael Sam has shaken up the football world with his recent announcement that he is gay. And it leaves some to wonder how the NFL prospect will be treated once he enters the league.
In an interview with ESPN radio, Sam's former coach at Missouri, Gary Pinkel, went on the record in saying that the Miami Dolphins would be a bad fit, considering the situation that arose with Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito last year.
"I think the incident that happened down in Miami with the Dolphins — I don't know the people involved there, and I'm not really judging them, but when you have a locker room atmosphere like that, when people are verbally being destructive to each other and you call it fun, I think there's a fine line there," Pinkel said, via Andrew Abramson of the Palm Beach Post. "I'm not one of the Righteous Brothers here, but we talk to our team all the time about how locker rooms are great in sports, locker rooms are awesome. It's a great thing about being a member of the team. Guys like to bust each other, go after each other verbally. But there's a certain point when what you say is hurtful and it doesn't help the team, it hurts the team.
"If you have that kind of environment where people say anything they want and say mean, awful berating things to people, it probably will not work very well. But if you have a team that respects one another — I may be naive, that's what we try to do."
One player who may be able to relate to Sam is San Diego linebacker Manti Te'o. Although he never came out publicly as being gay, he faced an uphill climb after the fake girlfriend story surfaced, leaving many teams hesitant to draft him.

NZ voted into Int'l Medical Students Assn
NZ voted into International Medical Students Association
All New Zealand medical students are now part of the world's largest student organisation.
The New Zealand Medical Students' Association (NZMSA) was officially elected as a candidate member to the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA) at the 55th General Assembly at Zalitbor, Serbia this month.
The IFMSA motto is to "think globally and act locally." They achieve this through four project committees on Public Health; Reproductive Health including HIV/AIDS; Refugees, Peace and Human rights; and Medical Education.
The IFMSA has members from over 85 countries, representing over one million medical students. They are one of the only students' organisation to sit on a branch of the United Nations – the World Health Organisation and have very strong links with all UN branches, major medical organisations and non governmental organisations.
"We have a very proud history of NZ doctors who have made significant contributions to the international community. Now medical students will have a chance to gain international experience at a much earlier stage," said NZMSA President Xaviour Walker.
"The IFMSA offers endless opportunities for NZ medical students and this will ultimately benefit all New Zealanders". "The goals of IFMSA projects are to improve local health first and the region we live in – this would mean looking to Asia and the Pacific," Mr Walker said.
The IFMSA also organise the world's largest exchange program, offering both professional and research exchanges.
The NZMSA will go through a transition process over the next two years before becoming a full member of the IFMSA. Mr Walker said "After seeing the amazing opportunities available and work done by this organisation, I believe medical students, our Universities and the New Zealand public will benefit from our involvement in IFMSA."

Background: Bereavement support is a core tenet of palliative care that may prove difficult for clinicians as it is time-consuming, emotionally charged, and not emphasized in pediatrics training. This project is intended to describe the opinions, knowledge, and practice of bereavement care among pediatric oncologists to identify gaps in clinical care. Procedures: An internet-based survey instrument was pilot tested, refined, and distributed to pediatric oncologists in the United States. Statistical analysis was performed using SAS 9.2. Results: Electronic surveys were distributed to 2,061 pediatric oncologists and 522 surveys (25%) were fully completed. Participants were asked how likely they are to engage in particular bereavement activities (phone calls, condolence cards, memorial services, family meetings, or referrals for counseling) following the death of a pediatric cancer patient. Eighty-two percent of participants, at least, sometimes engage in at least one of these activities. Being female, an attending physician, and increased time in clinical practice were predictive of active participation in bereavement care. Nearly all participants (96%) believe that bereavement care is part of good clinical care, while 8% indicate that bereavement support is not their responsibility. Lack of time and resources were the biggest barriers to providing bereavement support. Conclusions: The majority of pediatric oncologists engage in clinical practices to support bereaved families. Lack of time and physical resources pose significant barriers to clinician's efforts. Additional supports should be explored to increase pediatric oncology physician uptake of bereavement care practices. © Copyright 2017, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. 2017.

OBJECTIVE: We sought to achieve 100% compliance with all 3 Children's Asthma Care (CAC; CAC-1, CAC-2, CAC-3) measures and track attendance at follow-up appointments with the patient-centered medical home. The impact of these measures on readmission and emergency department utilization rates was evaluated. METHODS: This quality improvement study evaluated compliance with CAC measures in pediatric patients aged 2 to 18 years old hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of asthma from January 1, 2008, through June 30, 2012. A multidisciplinary Asthma Task Force was assembled to develop interventions. Attendance at the follow-up appointment was tracked monthly from January 1, 2009. Readmission and emergency department utilization rates were compared between the preimplementation period (January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2007) and the postimplementation period (January 1, 2008, through June 30, 2012). RESULTS: The preimplementation period included 231 subjects and the postimplementation period included 532 subjects. Compliance with CAC-3 was 95% from October 1, 2009, through June 30, 2012. Compliance with the postdischarge follow-up appointment was 69% from January 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009, increasing significantly to 90% from October 1, 2009, through June 30, 2012 (P < .001). Postimplementation readmission rates significantly decreased in the 91- to 180-day postdischarge interval (odds ratio: 0.29; 95% confidence interval: 0.11-0.78). CONCLUSIONS: In children hospitalized with asthma, compliance with the asthma core measures and the postdischarge follow-up appointment with the primary care provider was associated with reduced readmission rates at 91 to 180 days after discharge. We attribute our results to a comprehensive set of interventions designed by our multidisciplinary Asthma Task Force. Copyright © 2014 by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

To survey pediatric (PGI) and adult gastroenterologists (AGI) regarding their perceptions about the etiology, diagnosis, and management of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and to assess whether differences in the clinical approach to EoE exist between these subspecialists. A 21-item survey related to EoE was emailed to PGI who subscribe to the PEDSGI Bulletin Board, and to two AGI per Electoral College vote in the US, randomly selected from each state. The survey was voluntary, and consent was assumed based on survey submission. The responses were submitted anonymously and results compiled in a secure Web site. A total of 249 physicians from across the globe responded to the survey, 68% of whom were PGI. The majority of respondents worked primarily in an academic institution or teaching hospital. Respondents revealed diagnosing an average of six cases (median 8, range 0-30) of EoE in the past 6 months. Ninety-two percent of AGI who see a patient with dysphagia and suspected EoE proceed to endoscopy with biopsies, compared to only 54% of PGI (P < 0.05); 38% of PGI would first perform an upper GI study. Both subspecialties agreed that biopsies of the proximal and distal esophagus are needed to make a definitive diagnosis of EoE. Fifty-eight percent PGI and 44% AGI defined EoE as an eosinophilic density of ≥20 per high power field (hpf) in esophageal biopsies. Seventy-seven percent of PGI but only 16% of AGI reported routine referral of patients for food allergy evaluation (P < 0.05). While 77% PGI and 91% of AGI would rely on a symptom-based follow-up, 27% PGI versus 9% AGI follow patients with biopsies according to a pre-determined schedule and another 38% repeat biopsies as needed, versus 15% AGI. This survey exposes a few inconsistencies among gastroenterologists in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with EoE. The currently available practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of EoE are largely based on retrospective studies and expert opinion. The results of this survey suggest that a collaborative effort based on robust research is required upon us to develop evidence for how we care for these patients. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

Objective:To examine the use of long-term prophylactic mupirocin as part of a comprehensive strategy in reducing Staphylococcus aureus colonization and infection in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Study Design:Twice daily mupirocin was applied to all infants admitted to the NICU throughout hospitalization starting in 2004. S. aureus surveillance was implemented in 2008. The efficacy of these practices was evaluated with a retrospective review of infants admitted from 2004 to 2010 found to be colonized or infected with S. aureus.Result:During the study period, 66 of 6283 NICU infants had a S. aureus infection with 67% methicillin resistance. There were three distinctive S. aureus outbreaks, the first being a methicillin-resistant strain July 2004. After implementation of daily mupirocin, the outbreak was eradicated and the rate of S. aureus infection significantly decreased (1.82 to 0.40/1000 patient-days-At-risk, P=0.0049). Mupirocin was discontinued March 2005 followed by a methicillin-sensitive S. aureus outbreak November 2005. In December 2005, mupirocin was reinstituted and has continued to present day, again significantly reducing S. aureus infections (1.42 to 0.33/1000 patient-days-At-risk, P<0.0001) with zero isolates resistant to mupirocin. In the pre-mupirocin period, S. aureus colonization was upwards of 60% now with rates typically <5%. S. aureus colonization strongly predicted later invasive infection (P<0.0001).Conclusion:Although controversial, prophylactic mupirocin in all NICU infants has acted as a barrier to colonization and markedly decreased S. aureus infection rates over a 5-year period. © 2013 Nature America, Inc.

Purpose: Postoperative abscesses after appendectomy occur in 3% to 20% of cases and are more common in cases of perforated appendicitis. Smaller abscesses are often amenable to antibiotic therapy, but surgical drainage remains the mainstay of treatment for larger collections. Surgical options generally include percutaneous drainage and open laparotomy. Laparoscopic drainage of these abscesses has not been well characterized in the pediatric population. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe our experience with laparoscopic drainage of postappendectomy abscesses that were not amenable to percutaneous drainage. Methods: This study is a retrospective review of all pediatric patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis at a tertiary pediatric medical center during a 4-year period (2006-2009). The review focuses on patients who developed abscesses after appendectomy, were unable to undergo percutaneous drainage, and were treated with laparoscopic abscess drainage. Results: Twelve patients (7 male and 5 female) underwent laparoscopic drainage of postappendectomy abscesses. The mean age was 8.5 years old (range, 3-14 years). A clinical diagnosis of postoperative abscess was made when fevers, pain, and leukocytosis persisted despite broad-spectrum antibiotics. Computed tomography was performed in all patients. Abscesses ranged between 3 and 11 cm in size. The mean length of time between initial appendectomy and drainage procedure was 10 days. There were no complications specifically related to the laparoscopic drainage procedure. The mean length of the drainage procedure was 77 minutes (range, 30-196 minutes). The mean hospital length of stay after laparoscopic drainage was 6.5 days (range, 3-13 days) with patients maintained on intravenous antibiotics until afebrile and without leukocytosis. Conclusion: Laparoscopic drainage is a safe and effective alternative for intraabdominal abscesses that occur after laparoscopic appendectomy. We recommend it as an alternative to open laparotomy when percutaneous drainage is not an option. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Objective: Lung abscesses in the pediatric population are relatively rare. We present our consecutive series of thoracoscopically treated pediatric lung abscesses. Methods: A retrospective review of children who underwent thoracoscopic drainage of intraparenchymal lung abscesses between October 2006 and January 2009 at a tertiary referral center. All patients had associated parapneumonic empyema and underwent drainage of the abscess concurrently with thoracoscopic treatment of the empyema. Results: Eleven children (4 boys and 7 girls) had thoracoscopic intervention for lung abscesses. A total of seventeen abscesses were drained. All procedures were completed thoracoscopically. There were no mortalities or long-term bronchopleural fistulas. No child required a formal thoracotomy, lung resection or a second operation. Mean duration of postoperative hospital stay was 11.0 days (range, 3-36). Mean length of stay was 19.5 days (range, 6-77 days). Mean duration of postoperative chest tube was 3.6 days (range, 2-8). Mean length to defervescence was 4.8 days (range, 1-11 days). Mean duration of postoperative antibiotics was 23.6 days (range, 3-56). Eight children had organisms identified from intraoperative cultures. Conclusions: Thoracoscopic drainage of pediatric lung abscesses is a viable and safe treatment option. Thoracoscopic abscess drainage is associated with minimal morbidity and may result in faster recovery and a shorter course of antibiotics. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

OBJECTIVE: The current system of Pap smear screening and management of abnormal cytology has resulted in a marked reduction in invasive cervical cancer. Many women, however, are not found to have significant precursor lesions. This is due to the poor specificity of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) triage. More specific cervical cancer biomarkers may be more effective triage tools than hr-HPV. We evaluated whether a dual stain for p16 and Ki-67 might improve the triage of abnormal Pap smears. MATERIALS AND METHODS: p16/Ki-67 immunostaining was performed on additional slides prepared from 515 women with abnormal Pap smears (301 atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance [ASCUS], 169 low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion [LSIL], 29 atypical squamous cells-cannot exclude high-grade lesion [ASC-H], 16 high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion [HSIL]). High-risk HPV typing was performed on all cases. Immunostaining and hr-HPV were compared in relation to their diagnostic accuracy for the detection of biopsy-proven cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2/3. A cost analysis comparing hr-HPV versus immunostaining as the initial triage tool used for abnormal Pap smears was also performed. RESULTS: High-risk HPV was positive in 127 (42.2%) ASCUS, 129 (76.3%) LSIL, 20 (69.0%) ASC-H, and 15 (93.8%) HSIL. p16/Ki-67 was positive in 54 (17.9%) ASCUS, 73 (43.2%) LSIL, 19 (65.5%) ASC-H, and 15 (93.8%) HSIL. For detection of CIN 2/3, sensitivity/specificity of hr-HPV and p16/Ki-67 was 89.29%/14.94% and 96.43%/60.92%, respectively. Overall, diagnostic accuracy was statistically significantly higher for p16/Ki-67 compared with hr-HPV. Compared to HPV, immunostain triage could have generated approximately $46,000 savings in the study population. CONCLUSIONS: The triage of abnormal Pap smears by p16/Ki-67 immunostaining shows comparable sensitivity, improved specificity, and significantly improved diagnostic performance when compared to hr-HPV. Immunostaining is of value in triaging LSIL and ASC-H Pap smears in addition to ASCUS. The widespread utilization of biomarker triage could result in significant health care cost savings without compromising the detection of significant cervical cancer precursors. © 2013, American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology.

Superior patient care and optimal physician training are often mutually elusive in the Emergency Department setting. Highfidelity patient simulators (HFPSs) are being used with increasing frequency in the training of medical students (MS) because they enable students to develop and refine medical competency in a non-threatening and safe environment. However, learner outcomes using HFPSs in this setting have not been well studied. The objective of this pilot study was to determine the effectiveness of HFPSs in simulation (SIM) training as a learning tool for preclinical second-year MS to further increase their toxicology knowledge. Second-year MS at a Problem Based Learning (PBL) medical school received a PBL toxicology teaching session in the middle of the semester. One week later, the students participated in a SIM exercise based on issues taken from the PBL case. The SIM exercise required that students address learning issues such as identifying abnormal findings, ordering tests, and, ultimately, initiating treatment on a full-scale HFPS mannequin. A supervised on-line test consisting of 10 multiple choice questions regarding the student's understanding of the learning issues was completed before the PBL class and directly before and after the SIM to determine the effectiveness of the HFPS use. Immediate video-assisted feedback was provided by emergency medicine attendings. Use of HFPSs during SIM exercises and in combination with PBL significantly increased toxicology knowledge in secondyear MS as determined by the improvement of on-line test scores (% correct answers) from 59% before PBL / before SIM to 69% after PBL / before SIM to 80% after PBL / after SIM. This study suggests that HFPS may be a valuable tool in helping to improve toxicology knowledge in second-year MS at a key transition period prior to beginning clerkship experiences. Incorporation of HFPS into PBL curricula may also be beneficial to MS in other areas of study where interactive learning could assist in evoking emotional realism while also enhancing critical thinking and acquisition of knowledge thereby facilitating the transition from theory to practice.

Purpose: To describe a unique single incision modification of the Nuss procedure and compare results to a historical cohort of standard Nuss patients. Methods: A retrospective review of 32 patients who underwent the Nuss procedure at a tertiary academic medical center over a 4-year period (2007-2010). Fourteen consecutive patients who underwent the modified technique (MN) were compared to the previous 18 patients who underwent the standard procedure (SN). We evaluated for differences between group demographics, operative variables, and postoperative course. The major technical modification was performing the entire procedure through a single right lateral thoracic incision. The dissection for bar placement on the left side of the chest was performed in a subcutaneous, pre-sternal and pre-muscular plane from the right-sided incision. The bar was placed from the right side and positioned in the standard fashion. Thoracoscopy was preformed via the same incision using a 45-degree thoracoscope and multiple trocar positions. The bar was anchored to the chest wall with a unilateral bar stabilizer. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the study groups in any of the patient, operative or postoperative care parameters. Conclusion: The single incision modified Nuss procedure is as safe and efficacious as the standard technique. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

It's actually something I can use. And that's nothing to sneeze at...really, it doesn't make me sneeze...unlike the powder soap experiment. Trying to locate a cheaper way to do laundry and using something more "green" led me to find a totally new concept. One that many others have also found useful.
Let me introduce you to the soap nut. I'm not talking about myself either...(I know it's been awhile since I posted and you were starting to wonder, right?) =) No, really the soap nut is a fruit (soap berry) that is dried and has been used for many years for just about anything that needs cleaning. I've used it for about 4 months now.
I make it into a liquid form which I make myself from the dried soap nuts. I add a few drops of lavender oil for a nice scent. You can use just about any essential oil you prefer. I found it to be very useful and mostly I've used it for laundry.
In a normal load, I only need to use about 1/4 cup. One batch lasts about a month for us if used for laundry alone. It does not have many suds, if at all, so keep this in mind when you try it the first time. Here's a list of the benefits of soap nuts at the Soap Nuts Pro website.
It naturally works as a fabric softener, so I actually use another soap for my towels, washcloths and cloth napkins, because I want them to be absorbent. It's great for clothes though. For someone who hates the chemical smell of fabric softeners, I'm happy to report that the soap nuts has no such irritation.
I bought mine locally here in bulk. I use the ratio in the recipe on this website: Naturoli.com (scroll down in the box to find it). They have a good website to learn more about soap nuts. You can do an internet search and find similar recipes and sources to buy from.
I always crush the soap nuts up in a bag (I use my potato masher and a cutting board underneath the bag), before adding them to the water when heating them on the stove. And after simmering, I strain through a nut milk bag and squeeze out all I can. Then I compost the pulp! I let the soap cool, then I refrigerate it to keep longer than a few days. I find that it keeps fine for about one month this way. When I start to use it for more than laundry (for our family of four), then I will make it more often.
Here are some photos of when I make it at home:
If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I'll try to answer the best I can. Happy cleaning! =)

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Myself Dr Josh. and I'm happy to help with your question today.Please provide me the following information so that I can address your concern-
What is your age & gender?
What treatment have you taken so far ?
Waiting for your reply…
Thank you.
Kind Regards
Dear customer
Thank you for coming back online.
The symptoms you have described of having pain in neck & shoulder is most likely due to cervical spondylitis and/or spondylosis. It is generally caused by the compression of spinal nerves. Any compromise of the nerve space in the spinal column can lead to compression of the nerve endings and can cause the pain,numbness or tingling sensation.
This occurs because of spinal radiculopathy,spinal disc herniation,wear and tear or degeneration of the discs.
You need CT scan or MRI of spine,EMG,nerve conduction studies.Tests like electromyography and nerve conduction studies,certain blood tests,electro physiological studies are required to make the exact diagnosis.
Treatment includes soft cervical collar, analgesics, anti-inflammatory, local heat, possibly traction , and isometric exercises.Till than take tab. Ibuprofen 400 mg from the counter. It is available as OTC(over the counter) without prescription & will help you greatly in pain relief.
Hope this helped

There may be some cleaners that can be sued for the regular windows but can be extremely damaging to tinted ones. For example, some people use household glass cleaners to clean their car windows which are acceptable for normal ones but if these are used on tinted windows then the ammonia in them will damage the tint.
Simply ask the vendor about the type that you want and you can install it to your window. In most cases, tinting materials are installed by an expert. If the store has its own services for tints, then you should avail it. This way, you can ensure that they are correctly installed to your window.

Only Drinking In Knowledge
(It's about 11 am and a very hot day. There are only a couple of customers having cold drinks in our cafe opposite my desk. A customer comes in and spends 10 minutes under the cold air fan above the door before making his way to my reception desk.)
Me: "Good morning."
Customer: "One beer, please."
Me: "Oh, sorry, we don't serve alcohol, but the cafe has cold drinks."
(He looks blankly at me, then at the cafe on the other side of the room.)
Customer: "I'll just have whatever you got on tap, love."
Me: "This is the reception desk for the building. We don't serve alcohol. But there is a pub just three doors down."
Customer: "Oh… what is this place, then? You've got people eating."
Me: "We are a museum."
Customer: "Really… Well, you should sell beer."

Ace2Three Rummy Review
Ace2Three Rummy is the first online 13 card rummy site in India. The online rummy website is owned and operated by HEAD INFOTECH INDIA PVT LTD. It is the first ever online rummy site to offer 13 cards Indian rummy to play online with cash. Being the oldest online rummy site in India with free and cash games once a player do Ace2Three login, it has a huge user base of thousands of players on its unique rummy tables and tournaments every single day.
Ace2Three Rummy Plus & Other Features
Ace2Three is famous for bringing new bonus offers every week. So, if you have an Ace2Three Rummy Plus account and if you are a cash player, you can be sure of getting rewarded with extra chips every week on your real chip purchases. The rummy website also have beautifully made lobby and tables which can occupy a maximum of up to 2500 players. The regular players in the rummy website might know how easy it is to join the cash rummy tables and multiplayer tournaments without any troubles once Ace2Three login is done. The website runs smoothly and there are seldom any connectivity issues while playing rummy games in this website.
We also checked out the other features of this rummy website from India, which are mentioned below:
Game Software & Graphics: Ace2Three lobby offers a unique view to playing online rummy on its tables; the game looks like a playing in a private room for expert rummy players. It offers 3/4 perspective view where the cards and players can be seen from a top view. The tables in Ace2Three lobby has a lot of gaming features like chat sessions, buttons to discard and group cards and a discards section to view discarded cards.
What's Different? Players have the option to play with extra time during their turn by clicking on the 'Xtra Time' button. While declaring the game, one can show the cards in four different groups of cards just like playing rummy in real life.
What's not Good? In Ace2Three Rummy, a player cannot drag the card to discard on the open deck and has to rely on the game buttons. If a player declares the game before your turn, you don't have enough time to arrange the cards into the four groups to show it to your opponents. New players can find this feature really confusing while playing Ace2Three for cash. Also, the sound that notifies the player of his move time is annoying at times. When you have finished your game and want to make a 'Show', it might get confusing for new players.
Sign Up Bonus: The rummy website invites its players to make their first deposit and get 100% Bonus up to Rs. 500 to play Ace2Three cash games. This bonus can be used only once for upgrading from the status of a regular to a premium player. The bonuses are released in chunks and players can avail it after playing a certain number of games. Players need to use the promo code 'Welcome100' while depositing money to their account after making Ace2Three login to avail the bonus.
Ace2Three Rummy Game Variants & Formats
Ace2Three offers different variations of 13 cards Indian rummy. One can play both cash and free rummy games of the three variants of Indian Rummy once they log in to Ace2Three Rummy:
Pool Rummy – Players can play 101 or 201 Pool Rummy where the one who lasts until the end of the game without accumulating 101 or 201 Pool Points wins all the cash money.
Best of 3 – The player who wins the maximum number of games out of 3 rummy games gets all the prize money assigned for the game.
Points Rummy –Players play for pre-decided rupee value assigned for each point. The winner gets zero points and wins all the cash lost by the other players in Ace2Three cash games.
Ace2Three Rummy Plus Tournaments
Ace2Three offers regular and premium online rummy tournaments, where one can play for cash. The site conducts special online rummy tournaments on every day of the week. Besides the daily tournaments, the site also conducts Freeroll Tournaments, Special Tournaments on special occasions, AcePoints Tournaments, Beginner Tournaments etc. that offers cash prizes up to Rs. 1,00,000. With the introduction of Ace2Three Mobile App, they have also added mobile tourneys in which you can play 2 games simultaneously.

Players can get up to Rs. 1000 for each friend they refer. The site has also introduced AcePoints – a rummy loyalty program that awards players with AcePoints for the number of games played.

Chips Purchase at Ace2Three Rummy Plus
While playing Ace2Three cash games, the deposit works on the scheme of purchasing chips: each chip is worth Rs. 1. So, if a player purchases 100 chips, he/she has made a deposit of Rs. 100 to their account. The site sets a limit on the purchase of chips: each player can make a maximum purchase of Rs. 5000 in a day, Rs. 10,000 in a week and Rs. 25,000 in a month. The minimum amount of chips you can buy in a day is limited to 50. In case you are facing an issue while making a real chip purchase, you can chat instantly with the team by clicking on "Live Help" tab.

Players can use net banking, cash card, debit card, credit card, PayTM, cash cards or other wallet services like PayUmoney and MobiKwik to add money to their account.
Our Verdict: Based on all the complete analysis of the online rummy site, we give Ace2Three 8.4/10!

When you watch the news or read the news, there seems to be numerous reports about accidents that occurred because of wrong-way drivers. Nobody ever wants to be involved in a car accident, plus deal with the aftermath that will follow. The thought of driving somewhere and seeing another vehicle coming directly at you can certainly be a scary thought. The thought about what the end result might be is devastating.
Before you ever come into contact with a wrong way driver, here are some things that you should come in mind that will help prevent a tragic Mission Viejo car accident.
Pay Careful Attention To The Highway
When you are driving, you typically look directly at the vehicles that are right in front of you. However, instead of only looking at those cars, you should pay careful attention to what is going on further ahead of you. When you look ahead to what is going on further down the road, you can give yourself time to pull over if you see that a vehicle is coming toward you.
Save Someone
If you are able to carefully pull over and get out of the way of the oncoming vehicle, you should call 911 as soon as you can. If the driver is still on the wrong side of the highway, you should report the driver to the police. Give as much information on the location you are in, vehicle, the driver, and the direction the vehicle is headed. Any other important information that will help the police get the driver off the highway will be beneficial.
Many wrong-way accidents will result in vehicles crashing directly, head-on. When you and your passengers wear their seat belt, it can be the one thing that will save everyone's life. To alert the driver, you can flash your lights or honk your horn to help them become aware of the dangerous situation.
If you are ever involved in an accident because of a driver going the wrong way, you could receive compensation for damages and injuries. Contact us when you need answers or a consultation.

"Head Over Heels" a Review
"Head Over Heels"
A Review by Desiree Remick
Play by Jeff Whitty
Music and Lyrics by the Go-Go's,
Directed by Ed Sylvanus Iskandar
"Head Over Heels", true to its name, throws you head over heels into a world of enchanting musical madness, where entire kingdoms can pack up and hit the road on vacation, where a man disguised as an Amazon can be mistaken for a dainty lady in the dark, where the ability to dance is mandatory, and where everyone embraces her (or his) inner goddess. The play is three hours (with intermission), which in my opinion is a little excessive for a musical – but entertaining the whole way through. It blends old-fashioned themes and archaic language with modern speech and politics for a unique timeless flavor. Someone who struggles to understand Shakespeare and another who abhors twenty-first century lingo could find equal enjoyment in this theatre piece.
The play opens in the small kingdom of Arcadia, whose inhabitants are lifted from the 16th century Sir Philip Sidney classic of the same name. Duke Basilius tries his luck with an oracle and receives an unwelcome prophesy in four parts: first, that his eldest daughter will find love, but not with a man; second, that his younger daughter will take a liar to bed; third, that he and his wife will both commit adultery – with the same person, no less; and finally that before the year is out he will have given away his own crown. The good duke, who is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, announces his intent to take an extended 'road trip' to neighboring Bohemia, in an attempt to thwart his destiny. But of course, you can't run away from fate.
There is drama. There is romance. There is comedy (much of it genuinely funny, which is not something that should be taken for granted). There is a lot of innuendo, breaking of the fourth wall, clever jokes and asides tailored to a knowledgeable audience – plenty of references that will slip past the kids – and don't forget the music! There's even a sword fight, which ends in the most unexpected way.
I did have some issues with the play as well. It takes an onerously long time to get going (long enough that the actors themselves start joking about it), and the ending also drags a bit. While the message of acceptance is a solid one, there are a few times where the writers allowed their enthusiasm to overflow, which resulted in a few unnecessary scenes and a soliloquy that does not fit with the rest of the script's tone. Oh, and if your hearing is sensitive or you are prone to getting headaches from too much noise, I advise that you bring a pair of earplugs. The music is quite loud, and I was especially unfortunate in my seating arrangement, which placed me in front of some people who laughed and whistled directly into my ear at every chance.
In conclusion, however, I found "Head Over Heels" to be a lot of fun. If you love musicals or wild tales in the vein of Shakespeare, if you are a supporter of gay rights and the LGBT community, or if you just like to have a good time, this play is an evening well spent.

Musical of Musicals (the Musical) Oregon Cabaret Theater
Musical of Musicals (the Musical!)
Music by Eric Rockwell
Lyrics by Joanne Bogart
Oregon Cabaret Theatre presents a hilarious satire of musical theater, a single story is transformed into five mini-musicals, each written and composed in the distinctive style of a different master of the musical theater form: Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Kander & Ebb.
Roberta Kent writing for the Mail Tribune says:
""The Musical of Musicals (the Musical!)" is a delightful spoof on Broadway musicals. Don't let the way-too-clever title of the Oregon Cabaret Theatre's new offering put you off. It is a valentine without being saccharine and a tribute without being slavish — and great fun."
Musical of Musicals plays April 8 – May 17, 2015 For show times and ordering tickets go here.

Ain't Misbehavin' at the Oregon Cabaret Theatre, June – Aug '14
Ain't Misbehavin' June 6 – August 31
In Ain't Misbehavin', the soul of 1930s Harlem is captured in this finger-snapping and toe tapping revue. Thomas "Fats" Waller was an iconic musical force, known for his exuberant personality, energetic stride-piano playing, infectious humor and jumping beat.
Ain't Misbehavin' evokes his good-time joie-de-vivre as a versatile cast sings, dances and carries on to the songs he made famous: Jitterbug Waltz, This Joint Is Jumpin', Your Feets Too Big, Spreadin' Rhythm Around, Keepin' Out of Mischief Now, Honeysuckle Rose and, of course, Ain't Misbehavin'. Sassy, silly, sultry and with moments of devastating beauty.

In this collaborative project, visual artist Nicora Gangi, composer Jonathon Roberts, and vocalist Emily Clare Zempel teamed up to produce a multisensory response to Psalm 13:
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him,"
lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
From the Artists:
Nicora Gangi
Meditations on Psalm 13- Pain – The Pathway to God's Glory
When I suffered with intense loneliness, my former pastor encouraged me to use my artistic gifts to visually express my feelings of rejection, anger, sorrow, regret, unattractiveness, physical needs, isolation, grief, and fear of what may be ahead. These feelings are most of the ingredients that I recognize as part of loneliness' assault against the soul. Throughout the creation of these collages I called on the Lord to restore my soul. With groanings that I could not articulate, I appealed to the Holy Spirit to intercede for me before the Throne of Grace. I found that these artistic meditations helped me in the midst of my struggles. The collages in this series were all created from paper magazine images. Some were scratched into and some drawn upon. The main objective of these collages was to see God as He was actually revealing Himself to me: through this psalm. Timothy Keller has stated that the Book of Psalms is one of the books that Jesus quotes more than any other in the Bible. "The psalms were not simply sung by Jesus, they are also about Jesus." This is a truth that has continued to keep me in the rich study of His WORD.
Timothy Keller, Songs of Jesus (New York: Viking Press, 2015) 42.
Jonathon Roberts
Ever since Nicora Gangi told me about me her process of actively meditating on the Psalms through collages and color, it has lingered as an ideal and natural way grow in one's faith and creative life. I've always longed for simple ways to infuse the Bible and creative activities into daily life, and I can't think of a better example than Nicora's.
Creating a musical response to her series of meditations on Psalm 13 gave me an opportunity to "sit" in Psalm 13 and contemplate the psalmist's words and Nicora's response. At the same time, perhaps not coincidentally, I was playing music with my toddler Walter and started to sing "Just Am I", open on the hymnal on our piano, playing around with a more introspective style. Next to the hymnal on the stand were Nicora's images. Over the next few week, the stories of Psalm 13, Nicora's meditation, and "Just as I Am" wove together and felt like a natural extension of one another.
I imagine the singer working through all of this at once, singing, speaking, meditating, and listening through the span of this song. This beautiful performance by Emily Clare Zempel captures the emotion of Psalm 13.
-Jonathon Roberts
Nicora Gangi was educated at Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York, USA (BFA 1974 and MFA 1976). She was a Professor of Art at Syracuse University for 29 years. Gangi has been awarded many Grand Prize and First Place awards and grants including the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award. She has been and continues to be published in numerous artist books on pastel paintings. She has lectured regionally and nationally as a visiting artist at universities and artist's guilds.

HTC is preparing to launch a new series of U smartphones in November. Reviewing the reports, it could be the Plus variant of the U11 aka U11 Plus. It is also possible that HTC will release the Android One edition of the HTC U11. The Taiwan-based smartphone maker has already started sending an invitation to the press for the event. The invitation notes "Save date" followed by the date – November 2nd. It does not mention the name of the device that the company plans to launch.
HTC U11 Plus is more likely. This is because the smartphone (HTC U11 Plus) has been subject to several leaks and rumors recently. Going by the rumors, the Plus variant will be a refined version of the U11 that was released a few months ago. Regardless of the phone that announces the company, HTC will first take the device to its domestic market. At the moment, there is no information on whether the next HTC U-series phone will reach the Indian shores or not.
HTC U11 Plus has been discovered in Geekbench recently. The reference website reveals some details about the device. He suggests that the next HTC U series phone could come with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 835 SoC processor. The list further reveals that the device can come with 4GB of RAM and runs with the latest Android 18.104.22.168 Android software. This has been reported for the first time by GSMArena.
Some reports that were previously leaked had hinted at two variants of the device, where one model was inclined to generate 4 GB of RAM, while the second variant would be high end and would come with 8 GB of RAM. . HTC also applied the same strategy with the HTC U11. He released two phone variants with 6GB and 8GB of RAM. However, he only got the 6GB variant in India. The same can happen with the U11 Plus if the company announces the phone on November 2.
Renders and 360-degree video from smartphone – U11 Plus also leaked out a few days ago. The performances and the video showed the camera in all its splendor in a brilliant blue. The phone at first glance looks like U11. The smartphone comes with a frameless screen and stereo speakers. According to specs, it looks like the smartphone may come with a 6-inch screen, while in the imaging department, the camera should have a 12-megapixel camera on the back and an 8-megapixel camera on the camera. front.
If it is not U11 Plus, it is likely that HTC will reveal a new variant of U11 already launched. Some reports that have leaked online claim that HTC could follow in the footsteps of Xiaomi and Motorola and bring an Android version of the U11. Going by the rumors, this variant of Android One will be called HTC U11 Life. According to specs, HTC U11 Life is expected to come with a 5.2-inch screen and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor. It is also said that the phone comes with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage that can be scalable. In the front of the price, the HTC U11 Life is expected to cost around $ 400, which translates to Rs 26,000.

5 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel—ahe was indeed the firstborn, but because he bdefiled his father's bed, chis birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright; 2 yet dJudah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a eruler, although 1the birthright was Joseph's—3 the sons of fReuben the firstborn of Israel were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 The sons of Joel were Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, 5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, 6 and Beerah his son, whom 2Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria gcarried into captivity. He was leader of the Reubenites. 7 And his brethren by their families, hwhen the genealogy of their generations was registered: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 8 and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in iAroer, as far as Nebo and Baal Meon. 9 Eastward they settled as far as the 3entrance of the wilderness this side of the River Euphrates, because their cattle had 4multiplied jin the land of Gilead.
10 Now in the days of Saul they made war kwith the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents throughout the entire area east of Gilead.
About The New King James Version
The New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study.

ZOMMA Ultra Low Volatility Index Monday June 27th 2016 after the close from ZOMMA LLC on Vimeo.
Please note that the index is calculated back to May 5th 2011.
The ZOMMA Ultra-Low Volatility Index has jumped higher during Brexit. The index is far less volatile than the SPY, and the results are robust. The strategy continues to trounce human discretionary investors. Why pick stocks when a portfolio of two ETPs can beat the market, with far less volatility?
It's important that investors understand that an index doesn't need to be a collection of 500 large companies. An index can consist of ETPs chosen for their risk/reward, correlation, diversification, or dividend attributes. At ZOMMA, we call this a strategy index. The evidence shows that quantitative systematic strategy indices can dramatically outperform traditional market-cap weighted passive indices.
Elegant portfolio-level approaches to harvesting robust quantitative effects have been doing quite well, as my index firm has convincingly proven for years. Again and again, we have shown the strategies which focus on asset class level correlations, rather than stock picking, have far superior performance.
Here is the average investor's basic decision: in an uncertain economy, should the investor focus on earnings momentum, or should the investor focus on robust quantitative factors? I would argue that the correct answer, not only theoretically, but also empirically, is that investors should focus on robust quantitative factors, such as correlation.
Second, most investors should focus on harvesting advantageous quantitative effects within a highly diversified, multi-asset class framework. ZOMMA has created such a framework, our Ultra-Low Volatility index.
Our Ultra-Low Volatility indices perform well because of the advantages of low-volatility investing. The low-volatility anomaly has been exhaustively, empirically documented by Dr. Robert Haugen and others. Simply put, low-volatility stocks tend to outperform high-volatility stocks - totally contrary to the popular notion that higher risk denotes higher potential return.
Here are the Ultra-Low Volatility Index's rules:
- Buy the PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio ETF (NYSEARCA:SPLV) with 80% of the dollar value of the portfolio.
- Buy the Direxion Daily 30-Year Treasury Bull 3x Shares ETF (NYSEARCA:TMF) with 20% of the dollar value of the portfolio.
- Rebalance annually to maintain the 80%/20% dollar value split between the positions.
Here are the results YTD:
Here is the performance of the index longer-term:
The index was created with the benefit of hindsight. However, the simple construction of the index makes it much more likely to evidence robust phenomenon (ultra-low volatility), rather than form-fitting.
The logic behind the strategy is that, due to the nature of compounding gains and losses, a strategy which has extremely low volatility has the possibility to beating the market across an entire bull/bear cycle.
For example, a 50% drawdown necessitate a 100% recovery in a portfolio to break even. We can see the non-linear nature of risk vs. return.
Consider this summary of the issue by Zacks:
"The math of percentages shows that as losses get larger, the return necessary to recover to break-even increases at a much faster rate. A loss of 10 percent necessitates an 11 percent gain to recover. Increase that loss to 25 percent and it takes a 33 percent gain to get back to break-even. A 50 percent loss requires a 100 percent gain to recover and an 80 percent loss necessitates 500 percent in gains to get back to where the investment value started."
Therefore, the goal of the index is to not give up much equity upside by combining the S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF with a 3x leveraged exposure to long duration government bonds, which acts as an imperfect statistical hedge. When the stock market drops, long duration government bonds tend to rise. The addition of long duration government bond exposure to an already low-volatility stock index, further decreases volatility in a portfolio, and also decreases the correlation of the portfolio to the larger market.
Strategically, the leverage inherent in TMF, we can allocate more capital to SPLV. In addition, it is not necessary to have margin exposure. So instead of the normal stock/bond mix, we are utilizing the S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF, then combining that with leveraged long duration government bond exposure, in an effort to further reduce drawdowns and volatility.
Of course, a prolonged bear market in long duration government bonds would probably hurt this strategy index, but the total bond exposure at risk is only 20% in any given year, because the leveraged nature of TMF allows us to dedicate less capital to it.
The index is not achieving long-term outperformance by rising more than the broader market during strong up years. It outperforms across a cycle by adhering to the general pattern of underperforming during strong up years and outperforming during strong down years.
This leads to the happy result, which we have observed, of strong returns combined with low volatility.
Standard & Poor's reports that over a "10-year investment horizon, 82.14% of large-cap managers, 87.61% of mid-cap managers, and 88.42% of small-cap managers failed to outperform on a relative basis."
Clearly, the answer is not more reckless emotional decision-making. The answer is the creation of evidence-based indices which exploit market inefficiencies and combine diversification with ingenuity and discipline.
We believe strategy index technology will beat most human investors over time. Rather than guessing on market direction, we are finding robust evidence-based advantages to incorporate into index-based solutions.
Thus, evidence-based multi-asset class indices can beat the stock market. And the mechanism is clearly defined evidence-based insights into the long-term drivers of robust, sustainable outperformance.
Thanks for reading. We feature even more impressive strategy indices in our subscription service. If this post was useful to you, consider giving it a try.
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points, which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
