Police Seeking Driver Who Struck Bicycle Officer, Fled
May 18th, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
Milwaukee Police are searching for the known driver and vehicle that struck a Milwaukee Police bicycle officer at 1708 W. Greenfield Avenue, at 10:35 p.m. Thursday.
Bicycle officers were on Greenfield on patrol when they noticed a suspicious vehicle that they had seen earlier in the evening. During the earlier stop, the officers had attempted to talk with the driver when he was double parked but the driver refused to interact in any way with the officers and he drove away.
When the officers saw the vehicle again at 10:35, this time parked at a curb, they approached cautiously. The driver looked directly at one officer who he saw in his front window and accelerated the vehicle, striking the officer, who was thrown across the hood of the vehicle and then to the ground. The officers were clearly visible as police, as the street in that area is well lit.
The 29-year old, six year veteran of the department, is assigned to District 2. He sustained non-life threatening injuries and was treated and released from a local hospital. After striking the officer, the vehicle fled the scene at a high rate of speed.
Milwaukee Police have identified the driver and are seeking him this morning.

An eye on canine orbital disease: Causes, diagnostics, and treatment
An 8-year-old spayed female miniature poodle was presented to a veterinary clinic in Colorado with the complaint of a swollen right eye, which had been present for several days. The dog's pulse and respiration rate were normal, but its temperature was slightly above normal at 102.6 F (39.2 C). The physical examination findings were normal except that the right eye was exophthalmic and the third eyelid was protruding halfway across the cornea. Additionally, the dog cried out in pain when its mouth was manually opened.
The clinical signs exhibited by this dog could be grouped together into one etiology—orbital disease. There are many causes of orbital diseases, including a retrobulbar, space-occupying mass (orbital abscess, cellulitis, cyst, or neoplasm); myositis; or an orbital vascular anomaly.1-20
Foreign bodies and abscesses
Foreign bodies may enter the orbit through the conjunctiva or the roof of the mouth. Many types of orbital foreign bodies have been reported, including grass awns, porcupine quills, gunshot pellets, and wood slivers and chunks.4-8
Foreign bodies can cause cellulitis and abscessation.4-8 Dogs with orbital foreign bodies may present with some degree of exophthalmos, protrusion of the third eyelid, and severe pain on opening of the mouth.2 Purulent to mucopurulent ocular discharge and conjunctival and episcleral injection may be present, although the globe itself, if not penetrated by the foreign body, is often normal. The dog may be febrile if an abscess is present. Younger dogs are more commonly affected as they have a greater likelihood of chewing foreign objects.
In a retrospective study of 34 dogs and seven cats with orbital abscesses, the most common route by which bacteria entered the orbits was through extension from adjacent infected structures, foreign bodies, and penetrating trauma.3
Of the 34 dogs, about 60% had positive bacterial culture results. The most frequently cultured bacteria were of the genera Staphylococcus, Clostridium, Escherichia, Bacteroides, and Pasturella. Most of the aerobic organisms were susceptible (in vitro) to many antibiotics, including amikacin, ceftiofur, gentamicin, imipenem, ticarcillin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.3

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

A federal jury acquitted pitching ace Roger Clemens of all charges on Monday. The jury found Clemens not guilty of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation into performance-enhancing drugs.
Clemens' family — his wife, four sons and sisters — sat tensely in the front row as the jury of eight women and four men filed in. The jury foreman then read out the not-guilty verdict six times to the perjury and obstruction charges. As the last verdict was read, Clemens' sons, holding hands tightly, began to weep. His lawyer, Rusty Hardin, gave the jury a thumbs-up and then bear-hugged the seven-time Cy Young Award winner. Moments later, the Clemens family stood together, in a huddle, with their arms around each other.
Afterward, Clemens seemed calm on the courthouse steps as he thanked his family and friends. But when he began to talk about his career, he choked up, wiping his eyes. After about 30 seconds of fighting back tears, he said, "Phew, I put a lot of hard work into that career."
A Steadfast Defense
Defense lawyer Hardin said Clemens' crime was that he refused to admit to something he had not done.
Clemens has steadfastly denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs — a denial he made under oath to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in 2008. The committee, which had aggressively pursued its investigation of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, didn't believe Clemens. It referred his testimony to the Justice Department, which brought criminal charges against him.
In a statement, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., who chaired the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform at the time of Clemens' testimony, said the case was referred to the Justice Department because of "significant doubts about the truthfulness of his testimony in 2008."
"The decision whether Mr. Clemens committed perjury is a decision the jury had to make, and I respect its decision," he added.
Prosecution's Star Witness Contradicted
The case initially went to trial more than a year ago, but because the prosecution mistakenly let the jury see evidence that had been ruled inadmissible, the judge declared a mistrial.
The government brought the case a second time this spring. The lynchpin of the prosecution's case was the testimony of Clemens' one-time strength coach, Brian McNamee. He told the court that he repeatedly injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone. But McNamee's testimony was contradicted by a variety of witnesses, including his estranged wife. And the former head of security for the New York Yankees told the jury the one-time Yankee trainer should not be believed, that his credibility was "zero."
The government sought to buttress McNamee's testimony with physical evidence — needles, cotton balls and vials -— that McNamee turned over to prosecutors.
But even the government's expert witnesses conceded the evidence proved little, since McNamee, by his own account, kept open bottles, cotton and syringes — used on many players — in one beer can, meaning the samples were all intermingled and contaminated.
The jury delivered its verdict after deliberating about 10 hours –- a relatively short time given the length of the trial. Indeed, Clemens' lawyers had told him not to expect a verdict on Monday, and he was working out several miles from the courthouse when word came that the jury had a verdict.
Government Setback
The Clemens verdict was the second time in two weeks that the government has lost a high-profile prosecution. Earlier this month, a jury in North Carolina acquitted John Edwards, the former U.S. senator and Democratic vice presidential candidate, of criminal charges alleging that he violated campaign laws to conceal an extramarital affair.
In both that case and the Clemens case, there were widespread reservations about bringing charges. The Edwards case was initially brought by a Bush administration prosecutor who is now running for Congress. In the Clemens case, the impetus was the referral from Congress. And in neither case was the Obama Justice Department willing to say no. Now, in both cases, the prosecutions have been soundly repudiated.
An earlier investigation into another baseball star, Barry Bonds, yielded a guilty verdict in 2011 on just one count: obstruction of justice. The jury deadlocked on the other charges, whether the home run king lied to a grand jury when he denied knowingly taking performance-enhancing drugs. He was sentenced to 30 days of house arrest, a decision he is appealing.
Baseball great Roger Clemens is not guilty. Clemens was acquitted today on all six counts against him. He had been charged with lying to Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs. NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg was in the courtroom this afternoon and she joins us now. Nina, not guilty on all six counts. Was that a surprise?
NINA TOTENBERG, BYLINE: Not to me. I've covered a lot of trials. And usually when I'm at that moment where we're getting the verdict, my heart is pounding, I'm really - I'm not sure at all, and this time I couldn't believe - I would've been shocked if the jury would've convicted him. This was a pretty paltry case in terms of evidence.
SIEGEL: Well, describe the scene in the courtroom when the verdict was announced.
TOTENBERG: Well, Clemens himself seemed relatively unemotional, but his whole family was there. His four sons were holding hands together tightly. And when we got through all six not guilty charges and not guilty verdicts, they started to weep. And then afterwards, the lawyer, Rusty Hardin, and Clemens got - this huge bear hug. Then the whole family in their row stood up and were like in a little football huddle, holding on to each other. You know, a nice scene at the end of a trial. We don't usually have nice scenes. We have very dramatic scenes. This was dramatic in the not usual way.
SIEGEL: Then Clemens went outside of the courtroom and I gather he talked about...
TOTENBERG: Yeah, he came out quite quickly outside and he was very calm initially, thanking his family, his friends and everything, and then he said and you guys in the media who've covered my career, and suddenly he choked up and he fought back tears for about 30 seconds, and finally said this:
ROGER CLEMENS: (Unintelligible) lot of hard work into that career, and so, again, I appreciate my teammates that came in and all the emails and phone calls, from my teammates, so, thank you all very much.
SIEGEL: Roger Clemens speaking after his acquittal today in Washington. Nina, all this began following a House committee hearing into the use of performance-enhancing drugs by Major League baseball players. Remind us how Clemens got involved in all of this.
TOTENBERG: Well, Clemens was the most visible person by far in a way - the seven-time Cy Young award winner - and he said I never used these drugs, not steroids, not human growth hormone. The committee didn't believe him and it referred his case to the Justice Department, which decided to prosecute him for perjury and obstructing a congressional investigation.
SIEGEL: It's hard not to notice that the acquittal of Roger Clemens comes not too long after the acquittal of John Edwards. Two prosecutions that had been questioned, why, in the one case, prosecution that involved violation of campaign finance laws, which have since been so altered by the Supreme Court. In this case, was it really worth a federal case over whether a great pitcher used performance-enhancing drugs or not.
TOTENBERG: Well first the Justice Department. The Edwards case was brought initially by a Bush holdover and who is very politically ambitious, is running for Congress. There are a lot of folks who think the Justice Department simply didn't want to overrule him. This case was sent to the Justice Department by the Congress, by the congressional committee. And again, they would - the Justice Department would have said - had to say sorry guys. Now, there are those who will say the Justice Department got its rewards today. Its rewards are a goose egg. And that's because it didn't stand up to, perhaps, people who should've been stood up to.
SIEGEL: Thank you, Nina.
TOTENBERG: Thank you.

"It's simple. The sale of $22 million worth of U.S. sorghum to Mexico in three months would not have happened without the investments of Council members," said Chris Corry, U.S. Grains Council senior director of international operations for Rest of the World, in regards to an ongoing effort by the Council to revive a once robust sorghum market in Mexico.
Starting in April, special funding from the Council's sorghum members has allowed a series of teams of Mexican importers and buyers to travel to the United States for a firsthand look at U.S. sorghum production and transportation. Among the Mexican team participants was Arturo Basulto, purchasing manager for feed grains and oilseeds at Inter Industrias del Sureste, S.A. in Yucatan, Mexico. Basulto participated in several of the initiatives, each time contracting sales of U.S. sorghum for the Yucatan state. So far, Basulto has assisted in the tendering of 80,000 tons (3.1 million bushels) of U.S. sorghum as a result of this initiative. He indicated plans to purchase 31,000 tons (1.2 million bushels) of U.S. sorghum per month through November.
"The U.S. Grains Council has played an important role in supporting us from the beginning. You all have provided the connections to grain farmers, agribusiness representatives and the field specialists needed to improve our operations. This information and assistance is not always available," said Basulto as he addressed more than 300 attendees at the Council's 49th Annual Board of Delegates Meeting in San Diego, Calif., today. "Many times your work is not visible immediately, but your efforts will help increase the imports of feed ingredients to Mexico."
In 2008, Yucatan imported 335,000 metric tons of U.S. corn and sorghum. So far in 2009, it has imported 237,900 tons of corn and sorghum and Basulto anticipates 210,000 tons to be imported the second part of the year.
"This goes to show the impact of partnerships between the Council and its members and the hard work and dedication the staff of producer checkoffs put forward to ensure this initiative goes as planned," said Corry. "The Council serves as the international market arm for the U.S. producer. In order to secure U.S. grains a home in the global marketplace, it is essential that U.S. producers establish and build solid relationships with global end-users."

Many years ago, my uncle Thomas (Tom) Phillip Hufford asked me to come up with a word the opposite of predator. Amitor is that word. Ami: Fr. friend, Amigo: Sp. friend, Amity: Eng. harmony, Ami: Formosa, Taiwan. Giraffe: non predatory animal unless young attacked. Butterflies: live, love, laugh, hope. Survive, thrive and inspire others. Pen Sherwood offered to do this Amtor artwork for free sharing the copyright with me for my Amitor concept. Amitor Tom would be so proud. Diana Hays Kisselburg

CORNELIUS, N.C. (AP) — The funeral service for NASCAR driver Jason Leffler drew Sprint Cup stars Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle and Brad Keselowski among the more than 800 people who filled Grace Covenant Church on Wednesday.
The 37-year-old Leffler, known by the nickname "LEFturn," died a week ago when his sprint car crashed into a wall at a New Jersey dirt track.
The hour-long service detailed Leffler's passion for racing and his achievements on open-wheel and NASCAR tracks. Friends and colleagues, however, spent much of the funeral focusing on Leffler's evolution as a father to his 5-year-old son, Charlie Dean.
"Jason was, by far, the best dad in our small world down here," said Jeff Dickerson, of Spire Sports and Entertainment, which represented Leffler. "He started to display a more sensitive side that inspired me to be a better father.
"We will have a responsibility in helping his son know who he was and how much he cared for his son. We have to let him know about his dad as a racer and a man."
No coffin was present during the service, which also was attended by NASCAR President Mike Helton, team owner Chip Ganassi, and Joe Gibbs Racing President J.D. Gibbs. Other Sprint Cup drivers at the service included Denny Hamlin, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and David Stremme.
Stenhouse Jr. and Kahne were close to Leffler from their days in sprint car racing, and Kahne had Dale Earnhardt Jr. fill in for him at Thursday's testing in Atlanta so he could attend the funeral.
Also present were Nationwide drivers Reed Sorenson, Mike Bliss, Kyle Larson, Michael Annett, Steve Wallace, Landon Cassill and Josh Wise, as well as Shane Hmiel, a former NASCAR driver who was paralyzed in qualifying for a USAC Silver Crown race.
As Dickerson spoke, photos of Leffler and his son at the race track flashed on two large projection screens.
The front of the church's sanctuary was lined with flowers from well-wishers, along with photos and mementos from Leffler's career, including his racing gloves and some helmets still covered with dirt and debris.
None of the drivers or NASCAR officials spoke during the service, but a Spire Sports representative highlighted the need to look after Charlie.
"On behalf of everyone that loved Jason, and his family, we thank everybody for coming out with their support today," Jessica Schaak said. "We just ask that everyone keep Charlie in their prayers."
A memorial fund has been set up for Charlie, whom friends said changed Leffler for the better.
"I saw his transformation from Jason the driver to Jason the dad," said Todd Braun, former owner of Braun Racing, one of Leffler's former teams . "I never saw more of a transformation of a person than I saw in Jason."
There were plenty of tears, but reminisces about Leffler's wild side also drew laughs.
Kenny Crosswhite, who works as a spiritual adviser in the sport, recalled the day he told Leffler that the name Jason means "healer" in Greek.
"He said, 'That's OK, as long as I can wound people first,'" Crosswhite said, prompting laughter from the crowd. "Jason was wonderfully made. He was unique in so many ways."
Dickerson said he and Leffler had many conversations about death. He was proud that Leffler made the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame in 2003 and was still participating in the sport that he loved.
"I'm sure most people in here will say this is exactly how Jason wanted to go, and that makes it a little easier to handle," Dickerson said. "But the fact of the matter is, he wasn't ready to go yet. He was having the time of his life racing these cars."

Grants help research go from laboratory to market
Virtual Incubator Program accepting preliminary proposals
Last year's Virtual Incubator seed money landed one group of Brandeis students an office in Rhode Island, additional funding to take their smartphone study aid to the next phase, and some nice PR on Entreprener.com. Another groups' ALS therapy is under license to a company for commercial development.
With those experiences and more to help, the second annual Virtual Incubator and Sprout Grant funding is expected to bring out a new round of bright ideas.
Funded by the Provost's Office and the Office of Technology Licensing (OTL) through its Brandeis University Virtual Incubator Program, this new initiative is designed to encourage and support entrepreneurial activity within the Brandeis community. This includes graduate and undergraduate students, postdocs, faculty and staff. The grants are intended to help campus entrepreneurs launch their research and ideas from the lab to the market. Proposal packages are confidentially submitted to the OTL.
"This year we expect to hold two separate judging sessions — one for life sciences, and one for IT related inventions," says Irene Abrams, associate provost for innovation and the executive director of OTL. Each session will have about five judges.
Abrams, who created the program, says she's excited about this year because it is building on last year's success.
"Last year it was the first time this type of program was run at Brandeis, but this year, word has spread about the Sprout Grants, and there is a lot of interest in the program across the sciences," says Abrams. "My expectation is that we will receive a greater number of applications. We've already gotten a lot of questions from potential applicants, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with when we get the preliminary applications on Feb. 10th."
Preliminary proposals are due by Friday, Feb. 10, 2012. But early submissions are encouraged as preliminary proposals are used to advise applicants and help them prepare final proposals, which are due by Friday March 9. Information sessions are available to answer applicants' questions.
Applicants will be asked to present their project to a panel of outside judges on Thursday March 29. Grant awards will be announced mid-April.
Nearly 60 scientists participated in the process last year, which is a big showing according to Abrams.
"Of those, more than half had never participated in commercialization activities — filed patents or interacted with industry — at the university before, so I felt it was a huge success in terms of outreach and stimulating entrepreneurship on campus," Abrams said.
Other winners last year included Jared Auclair, a postdoctoral fellow in the Petsko/Ringe laboratory whose team is working on a way to aid in halting the progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Auclair's team was awarded $10,000.
Erin Jonasson, a biology graduate student in the Yoshida lab, presented a method of conditionally stopping the action of essential genes in a model organism. Essential genes are necessary for life, so if this project works, scientists can begin to study the role of these genes in basic life processes. Jonasson's team was awarded $10,000.
Rory Coffey and his team plan to target Ras, a mutated protein that has been found in 20 to 30 percent of cancers.
"If successful, this grant will support the groundwork needed to justify screening for a drug that will use our mechanism and directly target mutated Ras for degradation," says Coffey, whose team included Marcus Long, Ruibao Ren and Liz Hedstrom.
Preliminary proposals for this year's Sprout Grants are due by Friday Feb. 10.
Who may apply?
Undergraduates, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty and staff from any Brandeis department or school are eligible to apply for Sprout Grants. In order to be funded, at least one member of the entrepreneurial team must be eligible to be a Principal Investigator (PI) at Brandeis. A PI team member is not needed to submit a preliminary proposal; the office will help applicants find an appropriate PI, if necessary. In addition, not all team members must be from Brandeis.
Eligible research
There are no restrictions on the type of project that may receive a Sprout Grant, other than good taste and legal concerns. It can be developing a smartphone app, an enzyme, a drug, or something else — just make it novel, with commercial potential.
Grant amounts
A total of $50,000 in Sprout Grants will be awarded during the Spring 2012 Competition. It is anticipated that funding will cover a total of four Sprout Grants.
The maximum amount of funding for an individual project will be $20,000, so smaller budgets are encouraged. The key is to match your budget request to the funding you need to get your idea off the ground. Funding will be provided for a period of up to 12 months, and extensions will not be granted.

White potato earns NH honor as official vegetable
By GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
CONCORD - The humble white potato is about to become the state's official vegetable.
The Senate Thursday approved
House Bill 535
, which makes the white potato the state vegetable. The House approved the bill on a 276-75 vote earlier this year.
The bill had its genesis at the Derry Village School, where students researched the origins of the white potato in North America and found it was first planted in a field near the school in 1719, in what was known then as Nutfield.
According to the bill's prime sponsor, Rep. John O'Connor, R-Derry, the Rev. James MacGregor of Northern Ireland came to America with a bag of seeds and planted them in Derry.
Virginia had claimed the title of first state to plant potatoes in North America, but recently conceded that New Hampshire holds the distinction.
After the vote, Gov. Maggie Hassan said she would sign the bill.

Manu'a polling stations close showing early lead for candidates Lolo and Lemanu
The five polling stations in the Manu'a island group have completed the voting process for today's run-off election in the gubernatorial race, between the teams of Lt. Gov. Faoa Aitofele Sunia/Taufete'e John Faumuina and Lolo Matalasi Moliga/Lemanu Peleti Mauga.
Residents in Manu'a as well as poll watchers for the candidates say that the polls were closed around 11a.m. after all electors on the voter rolls had cast their ballots. Once the polls were closed, the counting process got underway and was completed about an hour later.
Unofficial results from Manu'a polling stations show that the team of Lolo/Lemanu has taken an early lead in election results. Samoa News is withholding the preliminary results until the polls are officially closed at 6p.m. today.
On Tutuila, some small polling stations at outlying villages are also expected to close early, once all electors have cast ballots.
Meanwhile, local and off island absentee ballots will be counted at the Election Office after 3p.m. and this process is expected to last for about an hour. News reporters as well as poll watchers present will sign a form promising not to publicly release the results until the polls are closed and this is in accordance with local law.
Samoa News online will be update as new information is received.

I'm generally in agreement with John's post that we ought to get out of Afghanistan, but on one of his questions–would Al Qaeda return if we "bug out*–the Wall Street Journal reports this morning that they already have. The front-page story is behind a subscriber firewall so I won't link it, but here's the most relevant paragraph:
Over the last six to eight months, al Qaeda has begun setting up training camps, hideouts and operations bases along Afghanistan's northeastern border with Pakistan, some U.S., Afghan, and Taliban officials say. The stepped-up infiltration followed a U.S. pullback from large swatches of the region starting 18 months ago. The areas were deemed strategically irrelevant and left to Afghanistan's uneven security forces, and in some parts, abandoned entirely.
This does not sound good.
(*Here's how John put it: "Is there a danger that if we leave, the Taliban will re-take control and, perhaps, invite al Qaeda or other terrorist groups to join them? Yes. However, it it not obvious that, after what happened in 2001, the Taliban will be quick to make its territory, once again, into a launching pad. If they do, one would hope that drones, bombs and perhaps the kind of small-scale insertion of troops that we mounted in 2001 will be an adequate response." The Wall Street Journal explains that this is exactly what we've done in the area, with one recent strike taking out several high value targets. So perhaps the story offers some vindication of John's view here.)

Setting Jointer & Planer Knives
A close look at jigs and techniques for getting your knives positioned quickly so you can get back to work.
By Robert W. Lang
Pages: 88-93
From the October 2005 issue #150
Buy this issue now
One of the great pleasures of woodworking is having a reliable and accurate jointer and planer. If these two machines, used in the first stages of any project, can be counted on to produce edges that are truly straight and square, and faces that are parallel, you're off to a great start. Every step that follows will be easier, and you'll be happier with the end results if you start by making good parts.
But even the most accurate planer and jointer setups will degrade over time, particularly as the knives dull. Although it's important, we tend to put off changing jointer and planer knives until we must.
The trouble is, we don't do it often enough to keep in practice. When we do get to it, we need to recall how and why we do these things. This article will serve as a refresher on the steps to take and a close look at some of the tools available to help. You can spend a fortune on tools you may only need once or twice a year, or you can achieve good results inexpensively.

An increasing number of younger women in the United States are delaying their first Pap test for cervical cancer until after they reach 21, reflecting new U.S. guidelines, health officials said on Thursday.
But 60 percent of U.S. women who have had a total hysterectomy and no longer have a cervix are still getting the tests, a sign that old habits may die hard, experts said.
Although an annual Pap test was once the standard of care, most professional groups including the American Cancer Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a government-backed panel, now recommend that most women get tested every three to five years, and that younger women delay their first test until 21.
And these same three groups agree that screening is unnecessary for most women who have had a total hysterectomy - the removal of the uterus and cervix - for non-cancerous reasons. Likewise, women over 65 who have had years of negative tests no longer need to be screened.
The guidelines are meant to curb overscreening, which increases the risk of unnecessary surgery and preterm birth in younger women, and adds unnecessary cost to the care of women over 65 who have never had a problem Pap and those who have had their cervix removed.
In light of the changes, two teams at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed Pap test data from 2000 to 2010 to see how well doctors were adjusting to the call for less frequent screening.
They found the number of women aged 18 to 21 who had never been screened doubled, rising to 47.5 percent in 2010. The team also found that in 2010, women age 30 and older were less likely to report having a Pap test in the last three years.
And while Pap testing fell among women who had a hysterectomy, dropping to 60 percent in 2010 from 73 percent in 2000, the number still reflects significant overtreatment.
Meg Watson, an epidemiologist with CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, said there are some women who need to continue screening after a hysterectomy, including those whose surgery was done to remove cancers. But that number is small.
"We feel that this would still be a minority of women, and it should not be the 60 percent that we're seeing now," she said.
CDC researchers said the guideline changes are recent, but the trends do reflect a shift toward adhering to them.
Test 'deeply entrenched'
Dr. David Chelmow, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, who helped write the latest ACOG guidelines, concedes that it makes little sense to continue to give regular Pap smears to so many women who already have had a hysterectomy.
"It's tough to get cervical cancer without a cervix," he said.
Chelmow said widespread cervical cancer screening has significantly reduced cervical cancer rates in the United States, which have fallen by 70 percent in the last four decades.
The practice of annual Pap tests is "deeply, deeply entrenched," he said.
Although overscreening adds to health costs and unneeded worry and procedures for everyone, overscreening young women may carry even greater risks because treatments can weaken the cervix and hamper a young woman's chances of carrying a child full term, said Watson of the CDC.
Cervical cancer is a slow-growing cancer caused by exposure to certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted disease that causes precancerous abnormalities of the cervix.
In women under 21, HPV infection is very common, but cancer itself is "vanishingly rare," occurring at a rate of about one in 1 million, Chelmow said.
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide, with about 500,000 new cases and 250,000 deaths each year, according to the World Health Organization.
In the United States, about 12,000 women developed new cases of cervical cancer last year, and 4,220 women died from their cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.
Most deaths occur in women who were infrequently screened or were not screened at all.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — High tourism revenues helped Greece's battered economy shrink less than initially estimated in April-June, making a projected exit from a six-year recession in 2014 more likely.
The country's statistical authority said Friday that the second quarter contraction was 3.8 percent of gross domestic product year-on-year — considerably better than last month's flash estimate of 4.8 percent, and the lowest in three years.
This provides a morale boost to the conservative-led government, which faces mass anti-austerity protests over the weekend as well as a grueling inspection by its international creditors later this month.
Greece has received more than 200 billion euros ($260 billion) in rescue loans over the past three years, in exchange for harsh income and welfare cuts that hurt the economy and pushed unemployment to record highs. But it is still unclear whether the country will be able to pay down its debt after the bulk of the loans run out next summer, and potential new aid would probably come on condition of further austerity.
Analyst Vangelis Agapitos warned that it is still too early to say whether the projected return to growth next year can be achieved, as the government elected in June 2012 is showing signs of reform fatigue.
"The government must continue on the course it has followed over the past 14 months," Agapitos said. "The economy has to be fully turned round from a model based on domestic consumption and a big public sector to a more outward-looking and internationally competitive model."
The statistical authority said Friday's GDP revision was based on data not available when the preliminary estimate was issued. These included a 5.3 percent turnover increase in accommodation and food services in April-June — compared to a 21 percent fall a year earlier — and a strong improvement in the external trade deficit, largely attributed to lower demand for imported goods because of the recession.
The revised GDP figures were chiefly helped by a boom in the key tourism industry, which accounts for more than 15 percent of the Greek economy and sustains about one in five jobs.
"The remarkable rise in tourism definitely had an extremely positive effect on the economy," Agapitos said.
Tourism officials expect a record 17 million arrivals this year — up from 16 million in 2012.
Greece's conservative government has promised to balance its annual budget this year, continuing austerity measures including plans to launch a program for mass public sector firings this year.
Unions are planning anti-austerity demonstrations over the weekend in Greece's second largest city, Thessaloniki, where conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras will open an international trade fair and make an annual address on the state of the nation's economy.
More than 4,000 police officers are on duty for the demonstrations. But on Friday, police officers staged their own uniformed demonstration in the northern Greek city against government pay cuts.
"Our struggle is to ensure public safety, but also our own survival," Christos Fotopoulos, head of the Greek Police Officers' Association, said. "What they have done to us is degrading and it must stop."
Costas Kantouris reported from Thessaloniki.

I have got one of my client has got a simple office network with three PCs (2 desktops A and B and one laptop C,,,,,all of them have got Vista Home edition).
Those desktop are connected through a modem router.
He bought a computer B recently and it has a Trend Micro Internet Security installed on it,,,,,,,a USB printer is connected to this B PC to be shared with A and C.
The other two PCs have not got Trend Micro Internet Security (I am aware of security implication , this is not the issue of our thread)
the printer is shared but A and C can not ping and can not print.
I am sure that the problem lies with the Firewall setting for Trend Micro Internet Security, because when I shut down it from A and C I can ping the B and I can print ,,,,while when Trend Micro Internet Security is running I can not ping B and I can not print.
I tried to search how to configure firewall to enable printer sharing I could not find that
I tired google without any success.If using Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro I.S., make sure file and printer sharing is enabled in THEIR firewall (or LAN allowed, depending on how their Exceptions are worded in their Firewall)
Any idea how to configure the firewall to enable a printer sharing ?

Kung Fu Hustle Region One Cuts (US - )
Gabe looks at some of the edits made to Stephen Chow's hit action-packed film
Of course this wasn't Miramax's first offensive deconstructing of a brilliant Asian film, heck, they even managed to mangle some bad ones. Most of Jet Li's best films have been gutted in one form or another for their various video releases, and Mr. Quentin Tarantino himself had to save not one, but two Kung Fu epics from unfortunate edits and permanent public obscurity ( Iron Monkey and Hero). The fact of the matter is that most wide release foreign films are altered by their releasing studio, one exception being Sony Picture Classics uncut/undubbed release of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a decision that was well rewarded with both awards and cash. Even the recent US release of House of Flying Daggers was censored in favour of a 'PG-13' rating.
When Sony Picture Classics released Kung Fu Hustle in American theatres this year, most fans were relieved by the presence of an 'R' rating under the marquee. Though the film wasn't exactly ultra-violent, the original release was strong enough to garner the rating. Then the accusations of alterations and edits began to flood in.
Why would Sony edit an 'R' rated release? The most likely answer is that they were aiming for a PG-13 and didn't get it even after a few self induced cuts. Why would they leave the cuts in the final release even after receiving their 'R' rating? God only knows.
Here I have assembled the differences I found between the region three release (uncut) and the newer region one release (cut). This is by no means an exhaustive effort, and I've a feeling there are a couple snips I may have missed, but it still offers a glimpse of the inane effort put into altering the film for a more child-friendly rating.
Warning: Spoilers
After a heated fight, the landlady throws her husband out of their top story window. After he hits the ground she drops a potted plant on his head. There is a pause, then blood pools from his noggin. Note the brighter colours of the Hong Kong version. The region one release has a more even look, but the colours are muted.
During his initial confrontation with the people of Pig Sty Alley, Sing dares a middle-aged woman to punch him in the stomach. Her surprisingly powerful blow causes him to spit blood. The region one version digitally removes the blood that actually comes out of his mouth. It only lasts a split second, and was almost impossible to get a good cap of, but here's my best representation. Note the dribble on Chow's bottom lip. Also note the clarity of the Hong Kong image, the general blurriness of the region one release is unquestionable here.
After the punch Chow cuts to the woman's face, now slathered in Sings blood. The region one release cuts to a different shot of a bloodless face, obviously from an earlier shot judging from the background extra's placements. The woman speaks back to Sing in the region one version, in the uncut version she looks at him, frowns, and walks away.
Later, before the malevolent musicians attack the three masters, there is an expansive crane shot that moves gracefully throughout the Alley set. One resident can be seen doing something in the bathroom area that one would normally do in a bathroom area: taking a dump. Apparently Sony thought human waste would be deemed offensive here in the states, so they removed it. Note the colour difference again.
During his unfortunate run in with The Beast, Sing is beaten to a bloody pulp. After the first punch, which rips his shirt, he spits a fountain of blood.
Then the Beast tosses him into the air and kicks him into the floor. This shot remains, as do a few of the punches made directly to Sing's face. What is cut though is a lingering shot of the Beast's bloody knuckles.
These edits are the most obvious and make the biggest difference in the perspective rating, mostly due to their tone. I'd say a fist that bloody would probably constitute an R, especially when it stands as one of the only laugh-less scenes of violence in the entire film.
So there you have it. Though none of these cuts ruin the film, they still represent an upsetting trend of studios pre-sanitizing entertainment for theatrical releasing. This is a small case, and I don't see Sony releasing an 'unrated' version of Kung Fu Hustle any time soon, but it still remains a symptom of a larger problem. I'd recommend the uncut version anyway, specifically the new Hong Kong Special Edition. If any readers happen to have noticed an edit I missed, I'd like hear about it. Either e-mail me or leave a comment below. Thank you.

didn't mean any offense or to be snarky, but I feel there is a myth that circles around out there that lagers need FOREVER to be ready and for a dunkel, pils, vienna etc. it simply isn't the case. Now doppel...
There are those that use plate filters (primarily intended for wine) and even some brewers who run their beer through whole-house filters. Reports are quite positive and encouraging concerning the effectiveness of the 5 micron house filters.
Quote from: gmac on December 07, 2012, 09:00:22 PMI am truly brewing lagers now with the intent that they won't get drank until June. That's the reality of lagers. I disagree with that. Average gravity lagers can be turned around only 2-3 weeks longer than an ale. I make a lot of lagers and primary them for 3 weeks and lager around 4 then off to the taps. (most pros are 2 primary, 2 lagering, then packaging or less).And not bragging, but to illustrate it ain't just my tastebuds that think so, I just got a 43.5 and a bronze medal for my oktoberfest at the Sunshine Challenge with 774 total entries and that beer was lagered for only 3 weeks and was on tap for 2 before I bottled some off the tap and sent.that is, unless of course you want the oxidized flavor that many folks confuse for maltiness since that's what they taste in imports. in that case, yeah, you'll need to wait 6 months or so
I am truly brewing lagers now with the intent that they won't get drank until June. That's the reality of lagers.
I've noticed some beers, like weizens, seem to peak very young (like when they hit terminal gravity), and some have longer shelf-lives than others. I've got about 40 bottles of Belgian blonde I made this summer and forgot about, and they're not nearly as good as they were a couple months ago. I also have an imperial stout from two summers ago that has gotten a lot better. So it seems alcohol is the big factor in cellarability. What other factors affect that?

My goodness, how the time flies! I can hardly believe we've been gathering here to celebrate the ways we make our homes places of grace for 35 weeks!
Two special announcements, just in case you missed them. This week I'm holding a giveaway for a $100 gift card to the winner's choice of stores (just in time for holiday shopping!). Click here to read about the giveaway and enter to win.
And on Monday, December 17, I'll be hosting a special link party about the special ways we celebrate Christmas. It's called "Home for the Holy Days," and I'd love for you to mark your calendar and plan to join me for that.
Last week's party included some wonderful links. Here are just a few of my favorites.
Marty at A Stroll Thru Life showed us how she re-did her master bedroom, step by step. Marty is such a beautiful lady and full of wisdom. It's fun to see the way this room evolved.
Turning now to a very different area of the home, Becky from Organizing Made Fun transformed her basement laundry room with pegboard. Yes, this is pegboard--doesn't it look pretty?
I'm working hard to prepare for Thanksgiving; I'll bet you are, too. Moni at ZuHaus at Home provides a tutorial for how to make your silver shine. Good-bye, tarnish!
I want to make some Thanksgiving cards to send to friends far away. Paula from Sweet Pea has created some beautiful ones; I'm going to follow her instructions to make these.
Thanks so much to everyone who joined last week's party! I'm grateful for each of you. If you've been featured this week (or in a previous week), feel free to grab my new "I've been featured" button.

I reached out to Ute from seeing previous projects. the project started out by defining my goals, likes and disliked and mandatories for my new home. The design process was always organized and thorough. She thought out every detail from natural light, heating and cooling, even the impact of direct sunlight on the house (during the hot summer days) and using space such as the garage as a barrier. Ute also considered how the house integrated into the neighborhood, and you can see that attention to detail in the roof line. Overall, the experience was great. She is passionate, fun, detail-oriented and keeps connected to the project all the way through building completion. I highly recommend...
Charles T. Orr, Jr. AIA, LEED AP, CSI 3 ReviewsChuck Orr: Creative, Honest & Stays Within Budget
Recently my husband decided he was going to renovate our home and he didn't think he needed an architect. Boy was that a mistake! After a missed disaster, when my husband took out a major support wall. He decided he may need the services of an architect. Chuck came in on an already started project. Was able to come up with plans that met and exceeded our expectations. He was on hand to aid us in every step of the project till finished and even came in within budget. He went above and beyond to help us through our project. I would highly recommend.

Back on the day, a lot of cool consoles were out there. Many of them had some really awesome games on them too. The problem was, only a few of the consoles could stand the test of time. Metal Slug 3 is one of those games based on a version from an era long since past.
Metal Slug 3 fives the feeling of playing an arcade game. The instructions, the insert coin to continue, all of that is great! When playing, there is a lot of the action coming at the main action hero from all angles. Shooting at an angle takes a little getting used to, but it's doable. Taking on all kinds of different enemies will take a lot of button smashing.
.From different sea creatures to flying what ever the heck they are will be attacking one moment then bombs on parachutes and little army men will be coming in the next wave. On top of fighting and advancing, keep an eye out for different hostages. They are typically tied up. One shot will free them from their bindings. They will usually have a gift like food or weapons upgrades. I laughed when my character ate a little too much and got fat. He was poking at people with a fork.
Metal Slug 3 has 2 different game modes, Arcade and Mission. While playing there are also submarines to hop into. These will submerge and open up a whole different set of rewards and enemies. Watch out for jelly fish and the boxes with the hostages in them. Free them and get a reward just like on dry land. When the submarine gets too damaged, the hero is expelled and starts to swim.
Anyone who likes the retro games from the 90's era of gaming is sure to have a blast with Metal Slug 3.

Colton Haynes Instagrams Cute Vacation Photo w/ Gay Brother & Family
Arrow star Colton Haynes posted this adorable photo of his openly gay brother, Joshua, and Joshua's husband Scott and their daughter Wren on what looks like a fun family getaway--though Colton's niece Wren may disagree!
Did we totally blank on Colton having a gay brother?? News to us! Good genes in that family!
(H/T: Towleroad)
From looking at Colton Haynes past as a "gay man" as far back as high school when he when to Prom with his Boyfriend as seen here http://coltonhaynesinfo.tumblr.com/post/28373075769/going-to-prom-together-cute-gay-pride ... It is sad that in 2011 when his "career" took off he ditched the men and his then dating relationship with Zachary Quinto to seemingly instantly marry his now wife Crystal Reed from MTV's "Teen Wolf" he starred briefly on and had no interaction with her since he was on the WB's "Arrow" now as a regular character...
Face it... this is someone who was a brave young gay man who was in XY with his Boyfriend as his career started and out with his relationships and now he is is hiding in the closet like a coward and has a "beard" and a child and is threatening anyone that has pics of his previous "gay" life are being denied that it was "acting" or being threatened with lawsuits or legal action.
People, please. He's an ally. Yes, he's hot, but that doesn't mean he's gonna magically be gay just because you're lusting after h o m. Can we please stop making it uncomfortable. For our allies to actually BE allies. We expect people to lay off of us for being gay and try to get them to accept that we're. Born that way, can't we accept that our allies our born straight and just leave it at that. Jeez.
On a better note, this makes me like Colton all the more! Proud to support such an accepting and great human being as an actor!
whether he's gay...or str8...does it really matter??? really people.. tomorrow comes and he says "I'm Str8!" or "i'm gay!" will that solve the worlds troubles or are you THAT bored in your life to even care or worry. The big picture is that he had a great time with his brother and he's a sexy actor on Arrow.. that's all.. no biggie.. move along you lookie-loo's!

Transistor Evolution Drives Wide-Ranging Research
By Balaji Chandrasekaran, Applied Materials, Inc.
Classic transistor scaling has given way to modern scaling and related performance enhancement based on new materials in strain engineering and high-κ metal gate schemes. For the 22nm node and beyond, devices will incorporate three-dimensional (3D) transistor architectures and an even wider range of new materials to sustain Moore's Law, posing challenges that are driving wide-ranging research on new process capabilities for transistor fabrication.
The 3D FinFET (Fin Field Effect Transistor) transistor is a new architecture that substantially reduces power use while enabling advanced transistor scaling. A critical process step is recessing the STI oxide to form the "fin." Standard wet etching, dry plasma etching, or plasma-free dry oxide removal processes can be employed. The latter iterates between growth and sublimation of ammonium fluorosilicate, consuming a well-controlled amount of oxide. Recent research on forming a FinFET structure using this process showed good electrical results for Ion vs. Ioff performance relative to planar transistors.
Much recent research has focused on new channel materials, among which III-V and Ge materials are front runners, given their adoption in optoelectronic and communication devices and in logic devices. In theory, such III-V materials as InSb or InAs offer 50-100 times the electron mobility of silicon, and Ge provides higher hole mobility than silicon, making them attractive candidates for NMOS and PMOS, respectively. A possible architectural construct for implementing these new channel materials is a Quantum Well Field Effect Transistor (QWFET) derived from a high electron mobility transistor device in which the active channel layer is sandwiched between two other materials and carriers are confined to the active layer (hence quantum well). In the future, III-V and Ge channel-based transistors will be incorporated into 3D architectures, whose feasibility with silicon has already been demonstrated.
The introduction of the High-κ Metal Gate (HKMG) has been a key inflection in addressing effective oxide thickness and enabling continued scaling, and has placed heightened demands on interface engineering. Precise uniformity control and freedom from contamination or exposure to air throughout the deposition, nitridation, anneal sequence are required in forming the high-κ/SiON/Si interfaces, suggesting that integrating these steps on a single platform will become essential for good yields. Future effective oxide thickness scaling approaches are likely to include increasing the κ value of the high-κ dielectric, reducing the interface layer (IL) thickness, or increasing the IL κ value. Reliability will be a key factor influencing adoption. For the metal gate electrode, integrated processing also offers the best conditions for compositional and contamination control while depositing multiple metal layers. In addition, highly conformal atomic layer deposition (ALD) or chemical vapor deposition will be widely used to overcome sheet resistivity and metal fill challenges as critical dimensions shrink. ALD in particular is likely to be widely adopted as HKMG stacks become integrated onto 3D architectures, necessitating exceptional conformality along all surfaces.
In planar transistors, source/drain (S/D) parasitic resistance control and ultra-shallow junction formation are key concerns. In-situ dopant incorporation during epitaxial growth and dopant activation to the fullest extent are critical in lowering resistance of the S/D region (RSD) and its extension region (RSDE). Also, rapid thermal anneal processes must maintain an ultra-shallow junction depth within a lower thermal budget, necessitating lower anneal temperatures and shorter residence times. With the advent of 3D FinFET transistors, S/D regions may be grown by selective epitaxy on top of the silicon fins. Uniform doping across the 3D surfaces of the fins—essential for device performance—will make conformal doping technologies imperative.
In fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI), one of the new substrates designed for lower operating power and better performance, the already thin extension regions can undergo amorphization damage during ion implantation, which degrades RSDE, and a dopant loss path to buried oxide can worsen RSD. Recent studies employing a diffusion-based approach to drive dopants from a faceted p+ epi S/D into the extension regions show a much lower parasitic resistance for PMOSFETs.
Sheet resistivity and interface resistance are the main concerns in contact scaling. Sheet resistivity increases geometrically at smaller dimensions. Using large rectilinear trench contacts in lieu of small circular plugs relieves this problem. Interface resistance can be reduced through new materials engineering. Nickel silicide and NiPtSi have the lowest bulk resistivity among common silicides. Continued junction scaling, however, calls for a thinner silicide layer. Uniform conversion to the low resistance monosilicide phase, avoiding the resistive NiSi2 phase, is vital. This can be achieved by using an optimized physical vapor deposition process to ensure uniform metal deposition with density and topology, a dry chemistry pre-clean process, and advanced anneal steps to obtain the best possible uniformity at the lowest thermal budget. Two related advances are backside rapid thermal annealing to improve uniformity in the conversion step and laser millisecond anneal, which reduces nickel diffusion. In the future, one can expect thinner barrier materials, advanced laser anneal technologies, and new metal choices (e.g., low resistivity tungsten or copper). Integration with 3D FinFET transistors will likely build upon the rectilinear trench contacts, with multiple fins potentially sharing common contacts.
Strain engineering has played a key role in perpetuating Moore's Law. Two commonly employed strain approaches are dual stress liners and raised or recessed S/D structures. Si-Ge structures have been implemented for PMOS transistor S/D regions to transfer compressive strain to the channel and increase hole mobility. Similarly, Si-C structures are considered potential candidates for NMOS S/D regions; research has shown more than 50% higher electron mobility. Scaling for greater strain to achieve higher drive currents in future can be achieved through higher dopant concentrations, greater geometrical depth, and channel proximity of S/D regions. Integrating strain engineering into FinFET transistors will be an inevitable yet highly challenging extension of this technology.
Transistor scaling into the next decade will be enabled by new architectures and materials. New architectural constructs, such as 3D FinFET, QWFET, and FDSOI will increase process complexity and require innovative and holistic solutions.

British & Irish Lions
Gatland "agonised" over Edwards snub

Lions head coach Warren Gatland admitted he "agonised" over his decision not to include Shaun Edwards in his coaching team for next summer's tour of Australia.
Edwards was widely tipped to travel with the British & Irish Lions as their defence coach having fulfilled the role under Sir Ian McGeechan in South Africa in 2009 and given his close association with Gatland, with the pair having worked together for the past decade.
However, Gatland chose to recruit England coaches Graham Rowntree and Andy Farrell and Wales assistant Rob Howley for the three-test series with the Wallabies next summer.
But the Kiwi admitted it was far from a simple choice to snub his colleague and friend, who was his right-hand man at London Wasps and is now one of his key lieutenants with Wales.
"It was pretty agonising," said Gatland, who also held discussions with Leinster head coach Joe Schmidt. "There was a lot of speculation and people talking about Shaun. That was, for me, the most difficult decision to have to make.
"We wanted some continuity from 2009, with Rob and Graham, but then to bring in someone fresh that challenges me, someone that I haven't worked with and that's why."
