The Trayvon Martin shooting was never about "hoodies." I own a hoodie, for god's sake, and I'm a chubby 46-year-old white dude. In the rush to create a false racist meme about the Trayvon shooting, though, leftist activists decided to designate hoodies as a metaphor for supposed "violence against young black men." A Daily Beast headline promised to patiently explain to us at the end of March: How a garment rooted in weekend athleticism became the complicated symbol for our country's moral outrage and racial unease.
There was a spate of hoodie avatars on Twitter. Congressman Bobbie Rush got reprimanded for wearing a hoodie on the House floor, and even a Million Hoodie March was held–an event that I estimate was approximately 998,990 hoodies short of its goal. Important side note here: many people think the hoodie meme started with Geraldo Rivera chiming in. However the date of the Million Hoodie March was March 21 and Geraldo didn't speak on the subject until two days later.
To repeat, however: THIS SHOOTING HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HOODIES. In all likelihood, it had a lot more to do with Trayvon Martin being on top of George Zimmerman and beating him up, as Zimmerman and several eye witnesses claim.
However, let's talk about hoodies for a minute.
Here's a video of a young, black male wearing a hoodie. Watch him pull a gun, try to steal a moped, and shoot someone. Apparently, hoodies are not a magic crime repellant.
Here's video from last August. It's a black, Democrat mayor talking to an all black audience. Mayor Michael Nutter says that black teens should take down their doggone hoodies and gets applauded. Keep watching to see the reaction to saying "get a belt." Wild cheers and applause. The audience knows what time it is, to quote Flava Flav.
In an era of racial divisiveness, no wonder Mayor Nutter's speech didn't get the media attention it deserved. It's an amazing piece of truth-telling and God bless him for it. As he says, "Show some sense and you'll be surprised what opportunities open up for you." That is a profoundly American message and the exact opposite of the Sharpton/Obama message. Stick that in your doggone hoodie.

We know the interventions that can save most women's lives. If every woman had access to essential maternal care, 74% of maternal deaths could be prevented4. If all women had access to self–controlled means of HIV/ AIDS protection and were in a position within society to use these methods, millions of HIV/AIDS deaths could be prevented. Thus, we do not so much need new technology, as we need to ensure universal access, utilization and equity. But ensuring universal access, utilization and equity means that our health services cannot continue to function as "business as usual.

Cause-specific survival is commonly estimated in cancer clinical trials and only those deaths which can be attributed to the cancer in question are considered to be events, while all other deaths are considered censorings. Using cause-specific survival to estimate net survival requires that reliably coded information on cause of death is available. The distinguishing feature of survival analysis is that at the end of the follow-up period the event (such as death due to cancer) will probably not have occurred for all patients.

Semi-intact cells are cells whose plasma membrane has been permeabilized with detergent or toxins, and can be referred to as "cell-type test tubes" (Fig. 1). We use a bacterial poreforming toxin, streptolysin O (SLO), to permeabilize the cells. At 4℃, SLO binds to cholesterol in plasma membranes. At warmer temperatures, SLO assembles to form amphiphilic oligomers, which results in the generation of small, stable transmembrane pores (Bhakdi et al., 1985).

A manager may be able to generate higher returns than an OE benchmark before costs, yet after costs investors' returns may be below the benchmark. If a fund can beat the OE benchmark on an after cost basis, we say that the fund adds value for investors, to distinguish this situation from one where the manager has investment ability, but either extracts the rents from this ability in the form of fees and expenses, or dissipates it through trading costs. We will say that a manager has investment ability if the managed portfolio outperforms the OE portfolio on a before-cost basis.

Given the virtual absence of formal channels for care and support of the older population, older Cambodians are dependent largely on their families, and particularly their adult children, for any assistance needed. Table 7 indicates the number of living children of the current generation of elderly Cambodians. Although many elderly Cambodians lost children during the tumultuous history of the last several decades, sustained high fertility has resulted in substantial numbers of children who still survive.

Therefore, for each of the factors to be analyzed, we have supplemented the composite analysis for all banks by an in- dividual analysis for each bank that submitted a sufficiently large sample. These individual analyses, which are presented in Appendix B, indicate the degree of variation among banks and the extent to which the average experience of all banks typifies theexperience of any one bank.

IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING STANDARDS: Lessons Learned from the World Bank's Accounting and Auditing ROSC Program
To be effective in a national setting, international standards require the force of law or other regulatory backing. If not, compliance becomes a matter of non-transparent discretion on the part of preparers and auditors of financial statements, outside the constraints of any regulatory framework. In such cases, the standards should more properly be considered "offshore" rather than "international.

Common Determinants of Bond and Stock Market Liquidity: The Impact of Financial Crises, Monetary Policy, and Mutual Fund Flows
There have been some attempts to explain theoretically the behavior of the stock return volatility. Veronesi (1999) constructs a model with regime shifts in the endowments in which investors will- ingness to hedge against their own uncertainty on the true regime generates overreaction to good news in bad times and volatility clustering. In contrast to that paper, I assume that the exogenous state variables are not subject to regimes, neither do they exhibit mean-reversion.

A few facts on...Tromso IL
18 September 2013|Tottenham Hotspur
As we get set to welcome Tromso IL to the Lane on Thursday night, here are a few facts about our Norwegian visitors...
Tickets are still available for our opening match in Group K - kick-off is 8.05pm.
Tromso in Europe, 2013/14 - Tromso began their Europa League journey on July 4 with a 2-1 defeat at home to Celje in the first leg of the first qualifying round. They secured a 2-0 win in the return match, going through 3-2 on aggregate.
Qualification - Tromso IL were admitted to this season's Europa League via the Fair Play rule, whereby they are being rewarded for showing good discipline on the pitch.
On the road in Europe - Tromso's biggest away win on the continent was a 5-0 victory over FC Daugava in a Europa League First Qualifying Round first leg encounter in 2011.
Against the English - Tromso have only ever met English opposition one before in a UEFA competition. They faced Chelsea in the Second Round of the 1997/98 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, winning the home leg 3-2 before slumping to a 7-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.
Tough time - The aforementioned 7-1 defeat at Chelsea remains Tromso's heaviest away defeat in Europe.
Norwegian opponents - The only time we have faced a Norwegian side in UEFA competition before was 41 years ago, when we scored six goals in both legs against Oslo-based FK Lyn in a UEFA Cup First Round tie. We won 6-3 in Oslo, before hitting six without reply at the Lane.
Group Stage - Tromso made it through to the Group Stage of the 2005/06 UEFA Cup, as it was then known. Their record of one draw and three defeats saw them finish bottom of their section.
Looking to break new ground - No Norwegian side has yet managed to secure a victory in England in UEFA competition.
Glove it – One player who Spurs and Tromso have in common is goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld. The Canadian stopper was on our books between 2002 and 2004, although he never made a first team appearance, while he played for Tromso in 2005, notably performing well in the UEFA Cup.
Past experience - Tromso defender Jaroslaw Fojut spent time at Bolton Wanderers between 2004 and 2009 as a trainee. He had loan spells at Luton Town and Stockport County during that time.
In form - Tromso are coming into Thursday night's game on the back of an eye-catching 1-0 win over Rosenborg in the Norwegian top flight, known as the Tippeligaen.
Road block - Our visitors on Thursday have lost their last seven away games in the Tippeligaen, and are currently in 13th place in the standings.

An ongoing student wrote in to ask about his assigned traditional dance practice. In the answer I shed some light on some of the impacts of ritual movement and ritual in general:
The journey feels awesome so far. With my assignment sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I don't…Could you pinpoint a few reasons why this was assigned to me and it should assist my growth and expansion in Masculinity and Dark Energy?
Your assignment is a warrior's dance. When it is memorised and becomes effortlessly second nature to perform, it has the potential to be a strong container for internal experience.
When you practice past the point where you can act without thinking, the mind can become extremely quiet (無心 Mushin). All sorts of powerful feelings and energies can flow through you. There is room for these things because you are empty of a lot of your conscious activity.
Lots of cultures use ritual movement to similar effect including the Native American Red Road and certain traditional martial arts and dance forms.
In order for these possibilities to open up, the dance needs to be done a lot. The Native Americans dance for days on end, other cultures use repetition on regular occasions over time (ie, every morning).
This repetition is used not only so that you can perform it without thinking, but also because you will encounter all your layers of resistance and self-consciousness on the way (Why am I doing this? I feel foolish. I'm bored. Do I look silly? Why do I feel weak? What is my life about? Who am I? etc…).
The cognitive language of the question is the veneer of a deeper, unknowable force of enquiry.
These questions are experienced not only cognitively but also in the physical and emotional bodies.
In fact the cognitive language of the question is the veneer of a deeper, unknowable force of enquiry. The 'question' is just the tip of the iceberg, the real mass of the force is underneath the surface and does not breach the layer into the thinking mind.
Thus these things tend to resolve not in an 'aha!' answer but as a sense of simmering into spaciousness (like a block of butter melting in a pan). They also tend to be cyclical, returning again and again in different guises through the ever-deepening form of the practice.
All of this takes time, repetition, and the stamina to dance in the confusion of 'don't know mind'.

So what happens when you don't use maida, or even wheat while baking? With a little bit of clever adjustments in the measures, what you get is a gorgeous, dense cake. I'm not kidding, read on to find out.
Until a couple of years ago I had no idea what gluten-free food meant, let alone celiac disease. And then, one day we got to know that my nephew was allergic to wheat, he still is, so that's how words like 'gluten-free' became a part of my vocabulary. Over the years I've tried to experiment with something gluten-free but I never took it seriously. I don't use eggs in my baking so whatever I made had to be egg-free as well and it just seemed like too much effort to think of a recipe that ticked off all the boxes. Yes, I'm lazy like that sometimes.
About a month and a half ago I met a nutritionist, the purpose wasn't weightloss or calorie counting, I just wanted to know what changes to make in our diet to make it healthier. That's when I clearly understood why we need to start incorporating alternative flours into our diet. Thankfully, the husband and I are open to trying out different things in our meals so it hasn't been all that difficult. But baking gluten-free is something I'd been wanting to try for a long time now and it finally happened with this cake. And yes, it is egg-free to!
Gluten-free cake with walnuts & cinnamon
1/3 cup each of ragi (finger millet), bajra (barley) and buckwheat (kuttu ka atta) flours
1 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 cup of buttermilk (1/2 cup of milk mixed with 1/2 tsp of white vinegar)
2 tbsp of curds
3/4 tsp of cinnamon powder
1/4 cup of walnuts, broken + 2 tbsp more for the topping
3/4 cup of jaggery, chopped
Sift the flours with the baking soda and baking powder. Keep this aside.
In a large mixing bowl, put the curds and jaggery together, mix well till the jaggery has melted. Now add the cinnamon powder and buttermilk. Mix this well. Now add the flour mixture to this and fold to make sure it becomes one smooth mix.
Add the walnuts in the end and fold them in to the batter. Pour the batter into a greased cake mould and top it with rest of the walnuts. Bake this for about 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees. Remove from the oven when a knife inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool down and cut into slices before serving.
* This cake is a little dense, obviously because of the absence of gluten, but that's what adds to the charm of it
* I've used jaggery because I'm on the health drive but you can simply substitute this with sugar, if you like
* Don't stick to just walnuts or any other nuts, experiment with seeds or even dried fruit to add some more personality to this cake
I'm sending this recipe to the Cooking with Whole Grains event at Nupur's UK Rasoi, she's guest-hosting the event which was started by Priya from Priya's Versatile Recipes

"How high up could this go?"
That's one of many questions people are asking in the wake of federal authorities disclosing an investigation into whether the truckstop chain Pilot Flying J cheated trucking customers out of money in the form of rebates from fuel purchases.
Cleveland, Ohio's WKYC-TV asked the question following three guilty pleas of employees this week, and two earlier, that it describes as at least a few steps away from CEO Jimmy Haslam's desk.
It spoke with one local attorney who said, "I suspect that the US Attorney's goal is to keep trying to work his or her way up the chain."

Just 24 hours after the 18-race winning sequence of Big Buck's came to an end, Hurricane Fly struck a blow for the old guard when snatching a courageous fourth successive victory in the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown. It was his 19th Grade One triumph in a remarkable career.
This time, Hurricane Fly really did it the hard way. The ten-year-old had sustained a bruised foot earlier in the week but showed no ill effects here, battling back after being headed by 2013 Triumph Hurdle winner Our Conor over the last flight. He fought like a tiger to get back up and win by one and a half lengths.
"I have huge respect for him after that, seeing how badly he worked in the week," trainer Willie Mullins declared. "It was the worst bit of work ever. I thought he was sick or incubating a cold. Fortunately, that night we found a bruise. We took the shoe off and put a poultice on. If it had been an ordinary race, we would not have run. But we had to run.
"I have huge respect for the guts he has shown to fight back. It was a standout performance."
Hurricane Fly was actually pulling away at the line to win comfortably and is now clear favourite with most firms to win a third Stan James Champion Hurdle, with 5-2 being the consensus.
Mullins also has Annie Power in the mix but has yet to confirm plans. So highly is Annie Power regarded that she is a solid 3-1 second favourite for the Ladbrokes World Hurdle, as well as 6-1 for the Champion Hurdle, despite the mystery surrounding her Cheltenham target.
At Doncaster on Saturday, she started 1-6 and won by 15 lengths after chief rival Cockney Sparrow fell at the second-last. She remains unbeaten after 10 runs and will take her faultless record to the Festival in March. Mullins said on Sunday: "I was delighted with her. She fluffed the last, but you have to learn to handle that sort of thing. Ruby [Walsh] might have been overcautious."
With two sets of owners involved it is not in Walsh's interests to declare an allegiance to either Hurricane Fly or Annie Power in any race with still six weeks remaining before the Festival. There have been many occasions when contenders have fallen by the wayside through injury in the run up to the Cheltenham Festival and major players dare not commit.
Equally, Mullins will not want to commit Annie Power to a specific race until all the cards have fallen into place. It is an intriguing position for any trainer to find themselves in, especially when she would be fancied to win either race.
The newly-struck partnership of Bryan Cooper and Gigginstown House Stud took full advantage of circumstances to register a convincing win with handy Trifolium in the Arkle Novice Chase at Leopardstown on Sunday. The JP McManus-owned favourite Defy Logic, who led before weakening, was found to have bled.
The Mullins pair Felix Yonger and Mozoltov finished second and third, respectively. Felix Yonger hit the fourth last fence hard, but neither horse ever looked likely to get near Trifolium, who won by nine lengths to get a quote of 7-1 from Paddy Power for the Arkle Chase at Cheltenham.
Trifolium's trainer Charles Byrnes said: "He's in the form of his life and it looks like we have an excuse to go to Cheltenham now. We took the cheek pieces off this time and he was able to settle in behind."
Six Cheltenham Festival winners and losers from the weekend
- Winner Ruby Walsh is spoilt for choice with Hurricane Fly and Annie Power both impressing.
- Winner Red Sherlock showed all the qualities required for success on the big stage in a race that has proved an excellent trial.
- Winner Valdez maintained his 100 per cent record over fences in style at Doncaster and heads for the Arkle Chase, a race his trainer knows how to win.
- Loser Big Buck's surrendered his unbeaten record and will have to be a lot sharper to land his fifth World Hurdle.
- Loser Paul Nicholls would have arrived at Cheltenham full of hope but left pondering several disappointments.
- Loser Defy Logic doubled in odds to 16-1 for the Arkle after a lacklustre performance. It transpired he had broken a blood vessel.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
I feel like Billy Crystal returning to host the Oscars right now. Should I sing something? Maybe put on a tux? Not that you guys would be able to see either of those things, which is probably for the best considering I look haggard from an overnight trip I took to Cincinnati (which I still can't spell right on the first try).
I'd never been to Cincinnati (still can't spell it right on the second try either), so I was excited to check out P&G headquarters with about a dozen other beauty editors (folks from Allure, Real Simple, Shape, etc.) on Monday and Tuesday. I can't tell you about the awesome new product they're launching in January just yet — it's basically the beauty equivalent of a matter of national security — but I can tell you that the P&G archives are fascinating.
I got to see the original packaging of products that have been around for decades (if not more than a century, like Ivory soap), products that are no longer on the market (like Drene shampoo), and vintage bottles of products that were sold under different names outside of the US.
But this the news, not the olds! Let's talk about what's been going on in beauty this past week.
Urban Decay is getting Naked again
Urban Decay Naked 173.6 is coming! OK, so it's really only their, like, seventh Naked palette, but even so, that's enough to make anyone wonder, Are there really any other neutral colors?
Well, yes and no. Sure, the colors are slightly different than past Naked shades, but what really sets them apart from previous Naked palettes is that they're all matte (OK, and one demi-matte).
The square of non-shimmery shades comes as a response to people who wouldn't shut up about wanting non-shimmery shades. Squeaky wheel and all.There's always room for J-E-L-L-O in synchronized swimmers' hair
Actually, it's K-N-O-X, Knox, an unflavored culinary gelatin — sorry, gelatine — that the synchronized swimmers of the US Olympic team use as part of their pre-pool beauty routine.
"We don't wear swim caps," Anita Alvarez and Mariya Koroleva (pictured at the top of the page) told Vogue when asked about their waterproof beauty regimen. (Well, presumably either Alvarez or Koroleva said that, but Vogue didn't indicate which.) "When we compete, we put Knox gelatin in our hair. It's like unflavored Jell-O — we mix it with water, and it turns into a gooey mixture. You comb or brush that into your hair, put it up in a bun, and put a headpiece over that, so when it dries, it gets really hard and your hair doesn't fall out when you swim. We like to add glitter and other decorations to it — it's easy."
Yeah, but is it easy to get out? That's what I wanna know.
Take a break from Pokemon Go with this highly appropriate bath bomb
I had a total "Why didn't I think of that?" moment when I saw this: a bath bomb that looks just like a Pokeball, which, admittedly, is a thing of which I did not know the name and had to ask Caitlin. I guess that's why I didn't think of that.
Anyway, looky!
I have no idea why Pearl Bath Bombs puts a Kinder Surprise-esque ring in the middle of each one. (Are rings a Pokemon thing? I forgot to ask Caitlin.) But I imagine this would make a great gift for someone who loves both Pokemon and bathing. And rings. (Apparently, a handful of the rings put in these bath bombs are worth up to $5,000. What?!)
Some of the most amazing makeovers aren't necessarily "beautiful"
Another thing I never got into: Arrested Development. (I don't know why — I love so many of the cast members.) But that doesn't mean I can't appreciate this jaw-dropping Buster Bluth makeup transformation done by vlogger Kiki G.
If I hadn't watched it from beginning to end, I don't know if I'd believe that was the same person.

The Cleveland Clinic Way to Health-Care Reform
When President Obama visited the Cleveland Clinic in July, he lauded its innovative approach to low-cost, high-quality health care: "They've set up a system where patient care is the No. 1 concern, not bureaucracy," he said. "Those are changes that I think the American people want to see."
That's exactly right, Mr. President. But you're running out of time. And rather than trying to reassure people that their health-care plans won't change under your reform proposals, you should be honest that embracing the Cleveland Clinic model would represent a revolution in American medicine.
The "cowboy capitalism" model for health care, in which every doctor, hospital and MRI laboratory is on its own, has to end. That's the Cleveland Clinic lesson. The change will have to be gradual, taking place over the next decade. And it will have to be led by our best doctors and hospital administrators, who know what works.
The Cleveland Clinic approach was outlined for Obama by its chief executive, Dr. Delos "Toby" Cosgrove. He explained the organization's pillars: not for profit, based on group practice, led by doctors who are salaried rather than "fee for service," and subject to rigorous annual professional review. That's what much of our system should look like in 10 years.
When Obama speaks to Congress Wednesday night, he should remember what he heard in Cleveland: His goal should be reforming the health system, not simply the insurance market. He should propose incentives that push doctors and hospitals to work together, so that they make money by keeping patients well, rather than simply by performing procedures when they get sick.
To understand the Cleveland story, I spoke last week to Cosgrove. He explained some basic ideas that he hopes Obama will embrace this week. His proposals are similar to those of Dr. Denis Cortese, the chief executive of the Mayo Clinic, whose thoughts I outlined in a recent column.
First, Cosgrove argues that the government must create incentives for doctors and hospitals to bundle their services. Take knee replacement surgery: Rather than separate payments to the surgeon, anesthesiologist, MRI technician, hospital, laboratory, physiotherapists and the rest, Cosgrove favors one payment to be shared among them. That would encourage economic use of resources. Haggling over the money would be a nuisance, so many doctors probably would decide to take a salary. So much the better.
Younger doctors are already adapting to a Cleveland Clinic world in which salaries and group practice are the rule. According to Cosgrove, only 10 percent of doctors under 40 are going into practice alone or with a partner.
Second, Cosgrove says that a more efficient system will inevitably mean consolidation of hospitals. Rather than five trauma centers in a metropolitan area, say, a region could do fine with three. One way for the government to encourage consolidation would be to require electronic records. Smaller and less-efficient hospitals that don't connect to the grid will disappear.
Third, the system needs greater transparency and competition -- in both costs and quality of care. Doctors may be wary, but Cosgrove argues that it works. He notes the experience of New York, which 20 years ago created a public record of cardiac surgery. Doctors and patients could see who was performing best, and the resulting competition has improved the mortality rate in New York.
Cost competition sounds scary in medicine -- do you really want the cheapest heart-bypass surgeon? But Cosgrove notes that when coupled with transparency about results, it makes sense. In the San Francisco area, he says, patients can review costs and quality measures for several dozen providers for some common procedures.
Finally, the government should create incentives for people to take better care of themselves. This means taxing cigarettes out of existence; it means giving companies tax breaks if they have "wellness" programs that can reduce the obesity of their workforce. In a healthier country, quality care will be easier to afford.
To get started on these big reforms, Obama should propose changing incentives in the areas the government already controls -- Medicare, Medicaid, care for veterans and military families. Once these giants begin to move, the private market will inevitably follow.
Obama can regain the initiative on health care by being honest with the country. The system we have isn't working. It's too expensive, and if we insure everyone without reforming the delivery process, the costs will be ruinous. Obama saw what works when he visited the Cleveland Clinic. Now he should open that same pathway for the nation.

Yesterday at morning tea, I did my Peer Mediation duties with Emily. It was raining a little bit, so when we put our vests on, we kept our jackets on underneath which we don't usually do, but it was really cold!
The field was shut so we didn't have as much ground to cover, but we still went around all the parts of the school that was open, including the Kakano team's part of the school, but they all stayed inside so there were no problems there at all!
It looked like almost everyone in the school stayed inside beside our class and one of the others! So there were no problems at all which was awesome!
I think that the CARE value I showed most was Active Thinking, because for once I remembered to wear the lanyard, and I think I showed leadership by making sure to do my duty, and on such a cold day when I would much rather be doing something else.

Pregnancy test on injured Di could have been disastrous: DoctorNovember 16th, 2007 - 2:03 pm ICT by admin
London, Nov 16 (ANI): The doctor who supervised the final battle to save Princess Dianas life dismissed suggestions that medics should have carried out a pregnancy test on her.
Professor Bruno Riou said that taking time to study ultrasound images for signs that she was pregnant would have been "disastrous".
He also told the ongoing inquest into the princess death that her chances of survival when she was brought into hospital in Paris were already "almost nil".
The professor, from the anaesthetics and resuscitation department at Paris's Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, was on duty just after 2am on August 31 1997 when Diana was brought in from the scene of her car crash.
In the preceding hour-and-a-half, Diana had already gone into cardiac arrest once and, during the slow journey to hospital, her ambulance had to be stopped when her blood pressure dropped to dangerously low levels, the inquest in London has heard.
The jury has also heard that Mohamed al Fayed, whose son Dodi was also killed in the car crash believes that Diana was pregnant with his sons child when she died. He believes the couple were murdered in an MI6 conspiracy because the royal family was not prepared to accept "an Egyptian Muslim" as stepfather to the future king, Prince William.
Michael Mansfield, QC, representing Fayed, asked Prof Riou whether he was aware of any members of staff on duty that night saying they thought she was pregnant. He said he was not.
He accepted that an abdominal ultrasound test, often carried out on patients with multiple injuries, might be capable in certain circumstances of picking up a pregnancy.
However he told the court that he did not believe such a test was done that night because of the urgency of the need to carry out an operation.
"The matter for me, when I receive someone suffering from multiple trauma, has got no meaning," the Telegraph quoted Prof Riou, as saying.
"As we had determined that the bleeding came from right inside the thorax, the issue was not relevant to what was going on in the abdomen," he added, giving evidence to the Royal Courts of Justice in London via videolink from Paris.
Pressed by Mansfield on whether such a routine test could pick up a pregnancy at even four to five weeks, he said: "Yes, if it is performed by an experienced radiographer that has spent half an hour on the matter and has had to really look at details. For any patient suffering from multiple trauma, the issue of pregnancy isn't one we consider.
"And for a patient like her, bleeding massively and having been subject to cardiac arrest, I would have considered the fact of proceeding to an ultrasound scan as a disastrous loss of time, he added.
He said that Dianas heart had already stopped once and the internal bleeding was putting pressure on her heart and right lung. Moments before surgeons opened up her chest to find the ruptured blood vessel, her heart stopped again.
Throughout the next hour and 50 minutes, as surgeons located the rupture and tried to stitch the wound, she was repeatedly injected with adrenaline, and given electric shocks and constant heart massage in an attempt to resuscitate her.
The professor said he knew of only four or five cases in medical literature where patients with similar levels of multiple injuries had survived. (ANI)

From Iowa, USA:
I am working on any way to lengthen my son's honeymoon period. Did the drug "Imuran" ever prove helpful in maintaining diabetes, or were there nasty side effects? How can the actress Halle Berry avoid insulin through the use of herbs? Do the ones that boost the immune system help? Also, I was told Nutrasweet weakens the immune system. Is this true at all?
- Many immunomodifying drugs have been tried to see if they will prolong the honeymoon period. These include steroids, imuran, cyclosporin, nicotinamide, B.C.G., etc. They didn't work except for cyclosporin where the effect was transitory and nephrotoxic [damaging to the kidneys].
- There is no evidence that herbal remedies modify the immune process in Type 1 Diabetes despite the many claims to the contrary. There is some evidence that these preparations may avert microvascular disease and at least one large scale trial is underway to establish the truth of this.
- Nutrasweet is a dipeptide [two amino acids hooked together] and there is no evidence that it impairs the immune system.

I've been seeing a lot of these question-and-answer posts from the blogs that I followed so I thought I would try answering the questions too. I found this HERE and there are actually 100 questions but I narrowed it down to 61 since I honestly can't answer the other items. Well, in relation to psychology, answering these type of questions will able you to know more about yourself. It's actually knowing yourself by asking your own self, a form of Introspection.
These are the questions that I've selected:
· What is the best compliment you've ever received? A friend of mine told me once that I am a beautiful person.
· If a mysterious benefactor wrote you a check for $5000 and said, "Help me solve a problem – any problem!" …what would you do with him/her? I have a problem too, because I don't trust strangers. If possible I'll make a background check first but then, I don't think I would agree with the deal, it's really hard for me to trust people.
· What's going to be carved on your (hypothetical) tombstone? R.I.P. You are loved and will be remembered always.
· What's one dream that you've tucked away for the moment? How come? I really want to start a cupcake business but I prioritized my job hunting at the moment.
· What are you starving for? Blueberry cheesecake.
· If you could have a tea with one fictional character, who would it be? I'd love to have a tea with Harry Potter or Prince Maxon of the Selection Series.
· Do you have a morning ritual? None.
· Do you believe in magic? When have you felt it? I'm really a fan of fantasy stories even when I was a kid, so I guessed that influenced me to believe that there's really magic.
· Have you ever fantasized about changing your first name? To what? Yes. I think Erin or Alexandrei would be a cool name.
· If you could sit down with your 15 year old self, what would you tell her? Live your life and be spontaneous.
· What are you bored of? The fact that I don't have anything fun to do at home.
· What's the best birthday cake you ever ate? The one I personally made.
· Do you think love is chemical, intellectual, spiritual or completely undefinable? I think Love is a combination of all.
· Have you ever dreamed of starting a business? Yes, it's either a cupcake or a shirt printing business.
· Are you afraid of flying in airplanes? No, because I love the fact that I can see the world from a top view.
· What's your most urgent priority for the rest of the year? Look for a new job.
· Have you ever been genuinely afraid of your physical safety? Always. I'll admit I am a paranoid.
· Has a teacher ever changed your life? All my teachers changed my life because every one of them imparted new information on my brain which made me view the world differently every time.
· Are there any household chores you secretly enjoy? Cooking because I love eating.
· What does fear feel like in your body? Fear speeds up my heart beat.
· Do you think you're currently operating at 100% capacity? At the moment, I don't think so, because I haven't done anything productive lately aside from doing my daily chores and my school works.
· What do you value most: free time, recognition or money? I value free time the most because with that time you can make money and gain recognition.
· Would you like to write a book? Yes. I have dreamt of being a writer when I was younger and if given the chance to write my own book I think it would be about Life Tips, dos and donts…something like that.
· If you could choose your own life obstacles, would you keep the ones you have? Yes. I would be glad to have the same obstacles.
· Have you ever screamed at someone? I've always screamed at my siblings because I hate their mess. They always leave their things anywhere in the house and I'm always the one who brought them to their proper places.
· Do you think there's going to be an anti-technology whiplash in our lifetime? Hmmm, it's hard to say but technology advances so fast that it affects our way of living both positively and negatively. There could be a chance. I don't know.
· When and where do you get your best ideas? When I'm surfing the net I always find something awesome, something that would make me think or inspire me and I think that is where and when I get my best ideas.
· What's in your fridge right now? Ice cream and some minced veggies.
· Can you tell when someone is lying? I can see it in their eyes and their gestures.
· Can you tell when someone is telling the truth? It's on their overt behavior.
· Have you ever pushed your body further than you dreamed possible? Not yet.
· Are you living your Life Purpose or still searching for it? I'm still searching for it.
· Have you ever had to make a public apology? Not yet and I hope it won't happen.
· How do you celebrate your victories? Eating out with my family, thanking God for His blessings and by being kind to people around me.
· Would you consider yourself an introvert, extrovert or ambivert? Currently I am an ambivert but most of the time I prefer being at home than socializing with other people, that makes me an introvert.
· Do you think everyone has the capacity to be a Leader? I don't think so. If you are not a good follower I don't think you can be a good leader.
· Is War a necessary Evil? No.
· Are you a starter, a finisher or an implementer? I think I am an implementer. If ever I start a project I see to it that I would finish it on time. And not just finish but be able to implement or use the project that I made.

· Do you have any habits or quirks you wish you could erase? Yes.
· Would you rather be a lonely genius or a sociable idiot? I would rather be a sociable idiot because socializing and interacting with other people is a necessity. I would rather be an idiot who knows how to communicate and interact with other people than a genius who doesn't mingle with others.

· What brings you sheer delight? Being with my whole family.

· Have you ever set two friends up on a date? Not yet.
· Have you ever questioned your faith? No.
· Have you ever had a psychic reading? Not yet but I really wanted to.
· Have you ever actually kept a New Year's resolution? Honestly, I haven't but I always tried.
· Have you ever met someone who was genuinely evil? Everyone has a good heart.
· Do you secretly miss Polaroid cameras? Don't own one but definitely miss it.
· What's in your purse right now? Some bills and coins, IDs and fast food receipts.
· What makes you so special? I am special because I am a unique creation of God.
· Ever fantasized being in a Rock band? What would your group be called? Yes. Haven't thought of a name yet.
· Have you ever stolen anything? I am guilty of stealing coins when I was a kid.
· Have you ever won an award? Academic Excellence and special awards at school.
· How long can you comfortably go without checking your emails or texts? A day.
I'm sorry if you find my answers gibberish, it's really hard to answer all the questions. But this is a good way to test your inner self. I spent a day trying to answer some of the difficult questions but it would be great if you can answer them right away.
Try this out too to discover more about yourselves. Choose a question from above and share your thoughts with me (leave your answers on my comment box please). I'm happy to know more about you.

To buy stock in a company, sign up for a brokerage account, search for a desired company and then choose the type of order to place, advises Chron Small Business. A stock represents ownership shares in a company, explains the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.Continue Reading
Brokerage services such as OptionsHouse, TD Ameritrade, Scottrade, Schwab and Fidelity all offer the capability to buy and sell stocks, according to NASDAQ. These brokerage services all have different commissions and minimum deposit requirements. Sign up for one of these brokerages by visiting the associated website and completing the registration process.
Once a brokerage service is chosen, search for a particular company. Search queries can be performed by entering a company name or a specific ticker symbol. A ticker symbol is an identification tag for a stock, explains the FInancial Industry Regulatory Authority. The number of letters in a ticker symbol determines the exchange on which that stock is traded.
After the company is found, enter either a market, limit or stop order, states Chron Small Business. A market order is an offer to buy a stock at the best available price, notes Schwab. A limit order is a method of placing a bid for a specified price or better. A stop order is a command to buy a stock only at a specified price. Once a stop order is executed, it becomes a market order.Learn more about Investing

Date: 18/3/2016
Planning magazine reports that last year Greg Clark took an almost unprecedented step when he intervened in the examination of Maldon District Council's local plan after the council and an inspector had clashed over the document's provision of traveller sites. In a letter last month, Clark said he agreed with the inspector that the council's policy on travellers is "not consistent with national policy". But he disagreed with the inspector's ruling that the plan should therefore be found unsound.
Catriona Riddell, Strategic Planning Subject Specialist for the Planning Officers Society, told Planning that a lot of local authorities are not keen to sort out traveller provision as part of their local plan, adding that "there is concern from inspectors that they're shirking their responsibility". She said she was "absolutely sure the inspector [made his decision] for sound reasons". But, she added: "The government's drive through the planning system to get houses built and get the economy growing is the bigger picture."
Riddell said this ruling, coupled with a recent decision by an inspector who found a plan sound even though it only met 46 per cent the housing need, suggested the emergence of a more pragmatic approach to local plan scrutiny. But she raised concerns about the length of time it took for Clark to reach his decision. "This was one small issue that they had to address and it's taken them months, nearly a year, to do," she said. "That's a bit more worrying than anything else."
She added: "Although there's a lot of concern across the country in terms of local authorities desperately trying to get plans published before the deadline, what it makes clear is that it's actually going to be a very specific few cases that they're going to intervene on because they haven't got the resources to do it, and it's such a minefield politically that I suspect they will pick and choose very carefully."

( Looking for a different state? )
2017 Grant Recipient
Botero, Dr. Tatiana, "A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of Regenerative protocols to Treat Immature Necrotic Permanent Teeth"
It has been recognized by Delta Dental of Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana for more than a decade that it has a legitimate interest in fostering research related to oral health, especially research which could have direct clinical application with significant potential for reducing treatment costs along with improving oral health. To that end, a portion of the Delta Dental Foundation's (DDF) budget each year is allocated for dental research grants. The Research Screening Committee has been established within the DDF to act as a review body for research applications.
Because funds available for this purpose are limited, the following guidelines have been established:
These guidelines are intended to encourage investigators to develop a long-term view of support for their research, and to encourage use of DDF funding to promote the development of high-quality research in selected areas that can compete successfully for support from other sources. They are also intended to provide for the funding of high-quality research that may be of more local interest, and therefore may be at a disadvantage in competing for funding at a national level.
Proposals should include the following:
Proposals will be reviewed by the Research Screening Committee and ranked according to:
Since funds available for grants are limited, the review process will attempt to select the proposals for funding that will make the best use of the available funds. Pilot projects, and ongoing department projects will be considered. Partial funding may be approved, dependent on reasonableness of the budget and availability of funds.
Multi-year proposals are acceptable, but funding will not be approved for more than one year at a time. In areas of research where other sources of funding are usually available, a plan for seeking other support for subsequent years will be expected as part of the initial proposal.
Except in special circumstances such as those described in section 3b above, investigators should not seek full funding from the DDF for projects where other sources are available.
A report and results should be provided at the end of the funding period, and at least once per year for multi-year projects. After completion of a study and submission of a final report, the principal investigator may apply for up to $1,000 toward the investigator's travel expense to present the findings to a meeting of the International Association of Dental Research or the American Association of Dental Research.
Research likely to result in patents or copyrighted materials will not be funded.
Research proposals will be reviewed once each year and are due by April 15 each year. Proposals will be reviewed by the DDF's Research Screening Committee. Awards for April submissions will be announced no sooner than July.
Complete the research grant application and all supplementary information as described in the instructions and submit to:

Ceal Barry To Serve as Chair of the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Issues Committee
July 22, 2010
NCAA Release
INDIANAPOLIS - Ceal Barry, associate director of athletics at the University of Colorado, Boulder, will serve as chair of the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Issues Committee during the 2010-11 academic year. The appointment was made by the committee and confirmed by the NCAA Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet.
Barry's term as chair will begin September 1, 2010. Currently serving her fourth year as a member of the committee, she will succeed Janet Cone, senior administrator for university enterprises and director of athletics at the University of North Carolina, Asheville, who has served as chair of the committee since 2006.
"To have had the opportunity to work alongside Janet for the last three years has been a great opportunity for me personally and professionally," Barry said. "I am honored to serve as the committee chair in 2010-11. We have several challenges ahead and I look forward to our work as a committee in helping to make a difference in the game we all love."
The all-time winningest coach in any sport in Colorado school history, Barry retired from coaching following the 2004-05 campaign after 22 seasons at the reins of the Buffalo program. She retired having coached the most games (669) and the sixth most seasons of any sport in Colorado athletic history, while winning the most games by any coach in school history (427). Her 427-242 record, 12 NCAA Tournament appearances, including six times in the Sweet 16 and three times in the Elite Eight, 13 20-win seasons, four conference championships and assorted coach of the year honors for five different seasons made her one of the elite coaches in women's basketball history.
Barry became just the 24th coach in women's NCAA history to reach 500 career wins, hitting the plateau in February 2004 and her all-time record of 510-284 and .642 winning percentage remain among the all-time best among active coaches. Off the court, Barry graduated all but two four-year players (well over a 95% graduation rate) and has coached 85 Academic All-Conference student-athletes.
In 1995 she was presented with one of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's highest honors, the Carol Eckman Award. That honor is presented to a coach who exemplifies sportsmanship, commitment to the student-athlete, integrity, ethical behavior and dedication to the purpose.
Barry's impressive resume has also given her the chance to see the world, with the highlight being her stint as an assistant coach for the 1996 United States Olympic Basketball team that won the gold medal.
