Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2014
Researchers at UC Davis Children's Hospital have shown that children with Down syndrome have significantly better in-hospital survival rates after surgeries for congenital heart disease (CHD) than their genetically typical peers.
While post-surgical mortality rates for children with Down syndrome have been studied before, this is by far the most comprehensive effort to date. Using the Kids' Inpatient Database (KID), the researchers looked at results from almost 80 different procedures, performed on more than 50,000 children across the United States during 2000, 2003, 2006 and 2009.
The overall in-hospital mortality rate for children with Down children was 1.9 percent as compared to 4.3 percent for children without Down syndrome. The paper was published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
"We've known for some time that children with Down syndrome do better after certain procedures," said lead author Jacqueline Evans, assistant professor at UC Davis Children's Hospital. "But even when you correct for surgical risk, prematurity, the presence of a major non-cardiac structural abnormality and age at the time of surgery, children with Down syndrome have lower in-hospital mortality rates across a wide spectrum of repairs."
In order to adjust for differences in patient mix, the team used the Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery (RACHS-1) tool, which stratifies patients into six categories, based on degree of surgical risk.
Although children with Down syndrome had better survival rates across all surgeries, there were variations between individual procedures. The mechanisms behind the improved survival for children with Down children will require further study; however, there is some evidence that anatomical differences and resistance to oxidative stress may be contributing factors.
Even though these results are unlikely to affect clinical practice, they may be helpful while counseling prospective parents. Information from the KID can also be used to address other clinical issues surrounding children with CHD.
"Now that we've done the work to create this database for pediatric patients with CHD, we have a very powerful tool that can be used to ask a host of different questions," said Evans. "If we have a question generated by our experience at the bedside, we can use this database to rapidly query a much larger sample."
Other researchers included Madan Dharmar, Erin Meierhenry, James P. Marcin and Gary W. Raff.
UC Davis Children's Hospital is the Sacramento region's only nationally ranked, comprehensive hospital for children, serving infants, children, adolescents and young adults with primary, subspecialty and critical care. It includes the Central Valley's only pediatric emergency department and Level I pediatric trauma center, which offers the highest level of care for critically ill children. The 129-bed children's hospital includes the state-of-the-art 49-bed neonatal and 24-bed pediatric intensive care and pediatric cardiac intensive care units. With more than 120 physicians in 33 subspecialties, UC Davis Children's Hospital has more than 74,000 clinic and hospital visits and 13,000 emergency department visits each year.

Though many know multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens for his proposed 50 States Project (recording an album about every state), the subject of his most recent release is not a state, but the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE). At first glance The BQE may appear to be a departure from Stevens' usual themes of faith, family, and geography, but it continues his tradition of transforming the mundane into the magical.

text: 8 Best Practices to Develop a Business Resilience Strategy Posted on January 22, 2015 by Tim Burke According to Gartner, by 2020 60% of businesses will suffer major service failures due to mismanagement of risk in new technology and use cases. This is why, in my last post, I suggested that the best way to deal with these risks is to commit to a strategy of resilience — "the capacity of an organization to plan for and adapt to change or disruption through anticipation, protection, responsive capacity, and recoverability." To get a sense of a resilient business in 2015, let's start with where you want to end up. Continue reading →

DeKALB – Wet weather left ice and fog around DeKalb County on Monday, and caused several crashes on area roads.
With the icy rain accumulating to a couple tenths of an inch, drivers and pedestrians were advised to be aware of slippery roads and sidewalks. If left untreated, these roads and sidewalks could turn into "sheets of ice," a National Weather Service statement said.
"Depending on how it [the salt and the temperature] reacts [Sunday night], we'll see what the need is in the early hours of the morning," Schwartz said. "Hopefully, it won't be icy in the morning. If not, we'll be out early."
The DeKalb County Sheriff's Department said the roads were becoming icy at 2:15 p.m. Sunday, and there were multiple single-car accidents reported.
Plank Road outside Sycamore was the scene of a couple of crashes, including one at 4:15 p.m. where a Schaumburg man lost control of his vehicle, which left the road and hit a utility pole and two trees before coming to a stop, according to a release from the Sheriff's Department.
A second single-vehicle crash not long after midnight on Monday, when a Quincy woman lost control of her vehicle, which ended up in a ditch on Plank west of Lukens, police said.
Road crews from the county and the public works departments of DeKalb and Sycamore were out early Sunday salting the roads in preparation for the day's freezing rain.
Mark Espy, assistant director of DeKalb public works for street operations, said his crews went out at 8 a.m. and sprayed the bridges and overpasses ahead of time, in addition to salting all of their routes.
Espy said he stayed in touch with DeKalb police as the day went on.
"If it holds this temperature, we should be in good shape," Espy said in regards to road conditions. However, if the temperature dropped and the roads became icy, the salt trucks would be out again, he said.
County Engineer Nathan Schwartz and Fred Busse, director of Sycamore public works, voiced similar sentiments, saying that they were also keeping an eye on the temperature as evening approached.
Busse said Sycamore crews were out between noon and 3 p.m. Schwartz said his crew went out at 2 p.m., salting and plowing every road they came across.
Crews ready for ice troubles today

The second in a series of posts inspired by Conrad Wennerberg's classic Wind, Waves, and Sunburn: A Brief History of Marathon Swimming.
In a brief chapter titled, simply, "Why?", Chairman Connie ponders marathon swimmers' reasons. In the end he concludes, basically, Why ask why? - but he offers some intriguing thoughts and observations along the way. One passage is particularly striking:
In my twenty years of observing the world-champion swimmers I have discovered an interesting common denominator. It became evident while discussing their personal lives with them. Hours of conversation with fourteen swimmers… brought to light the fact that twelve of them were under severe emotional tension during the time they were champions. Only two were not under such tension and seemed to have planned a course of action that led to their achievement without emotional involvement.
The others were reacting to the tensions incurred by: (1) the breakup of a marriage and divorce; (2) loss of a job; (3) sexual maladjustments. Physiologists tell us that such serious threats to one's personal life are manifested by bodily response. The pituitary gland lying at the base of their brain secretes more of the substances that monitor brain and bodily functions. One of the repsonses is extreme nervousness and tension. Luckily, those professional swimmers reacted normally to the stimulus by working it off in training. They were tranquilizing themselves in the most sensible fashion: action.
I think this is keenly observed… though my inner social scientist feels compelled to note: correlation does not imply causation. In two respects:
First, the fact that many champion marathon swimmers' personal lives were in disarray does not mean their swimming somehow benefited from the personal stress. On the contrary, I think it's always better to approach a gargantuan physical undertaking such as a marathon swim from a position of stability - with a clear mind and a fat wallet. Of course, it doesn't always work out that way!
Second, though Connie implies that swimmers' personal tensions, in a sense, motivated their training and eventual success - the opposite relationship is quite plausible. Anybody remember this story?
Finally, apropos of nothing in particular, I wanted to reproduce the closing passage of "Why?"… I'm not sure why, I just love it.
All that can be said is that man is attracted to water in the same fashion as he is attracted to a beautiful woman or a tasty meal. Would we say it was a matter of chemistry? Such things are the mysteries of life.

Art Gallery
While downtown Palo Alto has lost many art galleries in the recession, Stanford University's Cantor Arts Center still hosts an array of high-quality and often big-name exhibitions not far away, with admission still free. Current shows at the museum feature classical and avant-garde book arts of the past and present; and a new display of African art, including ancient pottery and modern Tuareg jewelry. Last year, the upstairs contemporary gallery was renovated with splashes of color and bold works. And, yes, that eerily realistic Duane Hanson sculpture of the cement worker "Dave" came back. Lomita Drive and Museum Way, Stanford; 650-723-4177. museum.stanford.edu
Live Entertainment
Musicals put on by TheatreWorks come in a medley of styles. There are the Broadway shows like "Into the Woods," which the company has done more than once. And the new takes on old favorites, like the 2007 hit musical version of Jane Austen's novel "Emma." Theater also rocks at TheatreWorks; the musical "Wheelhouse," about a traveling rock band, is set to open in June 2012. Plays both serious and comic are also a fixture at TheatreWorks, which is now in its 42nd season and puts on shows at Palo Alto's Lucie Stern Theatre and the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts.

Place to Enjoy the Outdoors
A dash around the Stanford Dish in the foothills exposes one to a symphony of sound -- rustling squirrels, chirping herons and the occasional rock anthem thumping out of a jogger's headphones. The scenic loop has long been a favorite of runners and nature strollers who this year voted it "Best Place to Enjoy the Outdoors." Wildlife is just part of the fun. Runners and hikers who brave the Dish's steep ascents are rewarded with scenic panoramas of Stanford University, Palo Alto and the San Francisco Baylands.

Katz Apologies For Toying With Your Emotions
So in today's Edmonton Journal, Daryl Katz apologies for using the Oilers fans as leverage in his negotiations for a new arena. I think a lot of people saw through his bluff.. but there were definitely a lot of fans and others that felt he was going to move the team if he didn't get his way.
Well, rest easy naive Oilers fans… the team is going nowhere. Katz admitted that while trying to send a message to City Council that he was being taken for granted, he in fact was taken for granted.
It's a good apology from a guy who has troubles with public relations. I personally think it takes a big man to admit you are wrong, so I put this behind me. Hopefully the two sides will just get down to negotiating in good faith and make something happen that will work for both sides.
What say you? Do you forgive Katz?

Why we still love reality TV (with video)
Reports of reality TV's death have been greatly exaggerated.
Not so long ago, industry insiders predicted the craze would soon fade. There are only so many TV talent competitions and fly-on-the-wall camera shows audiences will watch before tiring, they said.
But from Survivor to Naked and Afraid, The Voice to The Amazing Race, reality TV is still going strong.
No one can claim reality TV is more popular today than during the years Survivor and American Idol broke the ratings barrier in 2002, but the reality is that people are still watching it in droves.
Survivor and The Amazing Race regularly place in the Top 10 most-watched programs across Canada in any given week.
When Survivor, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and Big Brother shot to the top of the ratings — more than a decade ago — Syracuse University communications professor and culture expert Robert Thompson said the audience was fed up with tired, stale sitcoms of the day.
Reality TV engaged the audience because it was immediate, unpredictable and lively, Thompson said.
That's still true. But today's audience has splintered.
Viewers are scattered among increasingly specialized cable channels, each serving a specific niche.
The mass audience today is drawn to traditional network TV almost solely by major events — sports, urgent national news and award shows.
The bigger, better-known reality programs qualify as major events, especially as they near their final reveals.
Even American Idol, which has tumbled in the ratings, continues to draw a crowd, particularly among younger viewers 18 to 34.
The Voice debuted in 2011, nearly a decade after American Idol.
The Voice's growing success is a reminder there's still a wide audience for a TV singing competition that feels fresh and new, even if it has been nearly 10 years since Carrie Underwood won Idol in 2005.
The Canadian version of Big Brother airs during the crowded, competitive winter-spring TV season.
The U.S. edition airs in summer when audiences are less engaged.
For whatever reason, reality TV speaks to more people in Canada than in the U.S., relative to the size of our two populations.
More than three million viewers watched the Amazing Race Canada finale last September. During its summer-long run, the audience never dipped below 2.7 million, in a population of 35 million.
The U.S. Amazing Race peaked at 13 million U.S. viewers in 2005, in a nation of 317 million.
The current all-star U.S. edition of Amazing Race stumbled out of the gate. The most recent episode managed just nine million U.S. viewers, even as that same episode drew 2.5 million viewers across Canada.
Why reality TV appeals to Canadian viewers more than U.S. ones is for social scientists to figure out. But it's a reality.
There's a growing worry that, as the TV landscape grows more crowded and competitive, some reality shows are upping the stakes, driving more conflict and confrontation in their chase for ever more viewers.
The pressure cooker of a reality show like Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen has grown more heated in recent season, as contestants appear to be cast for their volatility and inability to get along as much as for their cooking ability.
Programs like Hell's Kitchen and Big Brother, particularly popular among younger viewers, have been accused fairly or unfairly of contributing to a general coarsening of society and social discourse.
That's unlikely to change soon.
"The madness of TV is the madness of human life," the futurist and social critic Camille Paglia has said. "Television is actually closer to reality than anything in books."
That may not be entirely true — most book readers might disagree — but it does help explain the audience's continuing fascination with a genre often dismissed as pandering to the lowest common denominator.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK- What is a pedal steel guitar?
J.J. Terzigni:"It's made from metal instead of wood, and it makes a different sound. It's used in music from Appalachia– around here and in West Virginia and Ohio."
Cory Fraiman-Lott:"It's like a guitar on its side. I might have heard it on TV."
Tania Boyer:"I would say that maybe it has something to do with a pedal and something made out of steel. It's probably used in Hawaiian-style music."

Over on Twitter, @RussB (Russ Beattie) and @jzb ( Joe Brockmeier) are promoting the argument that you can tolerate everything but intolerance, and that is the only logical position to take.
No. That is baby thinking. Because intolerance is the combination of 1) disagreement and 2) action. Which part of intolerance is unacceptable? The disagreement part? Let us all hope that tolerant people tolerate disagreement, otherwise the word has no meaning. So is action unacceptable? "It's okay if you disagree with me, but as soon as you do anything about that disagreement, you are wrong and I am right and you must be stopped?"
Sorry, no, that is intolerance.
This is prompted, of course, by Brendan Eich's dismissal from Mozilla. I must of course (unless I want to be intolerated) note that I disagree with him, and that I support gay marriage. But I also support people's freedom to disagree with me and take action on that disagreement.
And (I think this is the crucial point) I support imperfect leaders. If you want to insist that every leader be perfect and without flaw, then you will have only liars and frauds as leaders, because nobody is perfect. I cannot see how having liars and frauds as leaders is a good thing.

First of all – thank you to the many people who stop me to say that you enjoy my columns. I'm not na�ve enough to think that everyone likes what I have to say but there does seem to be a pretty fair number of you that do and I truly appreciate hearing your comments.
First of all – thank you to the many people who stop me to say that you enjoy my columns. I'm not naïve enough to think that everyone likes what I have to say but there does seem to be a pretty fair number of you that do and I truly appreciate hearing your comments.
I'm pretty darn conservative in my views (I know that doesn't surprise any of you) but I sure don't consider myself extreme. But, according to a lot of the campaign ads I've seen aimed against Mitt Romney, I am on the far fringes of society and out of the mainstream of beliefs.
The ads would almost be laughable if this election wasn't so vital to the future of our country. The liberals (or is the proper term progressive? I can never quite figure that one out) are trying to portray those of us who don't believe the way they do as being extreme and out of touch. The funniest part of this is that Mitt Romney is admittedly more moderate than conservative and has had to prove his credentials to many of us. And now his opponents are calling him extreme.
Here is a man that has been happily married for decades, has a loving family, doesn't drink or smoke, believes that you need to work for what you get and that the government is not the answer to all your problems but rather is sometimes the problem in getting the answer. He supports the 2nd amendment, is pro-life, believes that government should not be spending more than it has and is firmly committed to making this country a better place for the next generation and for generations to come. And this is extreme and out of touch with mainstream beliefs?
If this is extreme then I guess most everyone in this part of the country would fall into that category. But, you and I both know that those views are not extreme – they are the very foundation that has built this nation into the greatest country to ever exist. The extreme views are the ones that would seek to tear down the nation that our forefathers have created and replace it with a European type of socialism that puts the government as the solver of all problems – be they large or small. And we all know how that's working for Greece and the rest of those countries that are on the verge of collapse because they have tried to be all things for all people.
From time to time I get emails that reflect back on the past and they always take me back to my childhood in the '60s. I know that we had plenty of social problems but as a child I didn't have the worries that adults did. I grew up in Goodman and spent a lot of time outside just playing and my folks didn't really worry about my every move. I would ride my bike all over town and even to the creek which was about three miles away.Now you can't even go to a movie without worrying if you will be shot and killed.
Now, that's not the liberals' or the conservatives' fault but I do wonder where we as a society started accepting certain things as OK and how we got to this point in our history. Does it have to do with the breakdown of the family? Is it the fact that no one seems to be held accountable for their own actions and it's always someone else's fault when they fail or mess up?
I don't know the answer but I would say that these things and many more have played a part in the whole process of a society that seems to be unraveling before our very eyes. But, for all the bad that happens there are still people who believe in this country and believe that we can be saved – not by the government but by the citizens who love this nation. And, to paint these people as being extreme is not only a blatant lie but is the height of political hypocrisy.
I think that everyone in an elected position of authority – be they Republican, Democrat, Independent or something else – should take it upon themselves to read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and ponder his words as he ended the speech – "and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." It seems that many in this country have forgotten the concept that government is empowered and controlled by the people and not the other way around.
Too many people think that the government is the answer to all ills and if you don't agree then you must be extreme. If that's their criteria then I guess I'm extreme but I have the company of a whole lot of friends and I'm OK with that.

From Serie A superstar to A League hero, we take a look into how Alessandro Del Piero has fared since his memorable move down under to Sydney FC.
Del Piero sent Australian football fans into a frenzy, as the news of his signing with A League outfit Sydney FC began to filter through.
With the Italian veteran labelled as the saviour to what is a league deteriorating in quality, Sydney's new marquee signing was set to boost crowd numbers immensely.
With Del Piero's fame well known in Australia, many were relishing the opportunity to witness the former Juventus superstar ply his trade in the national league, finally giving the fans some much needed excitement and development of the game in Australia.
The former Old Lady captain achieved the miraculous feat of 513 caps for the Italian giants, finally ending his 19-year cameo with the club to become a free agent at his own will.
His decision for joining Sydney was humble, to make a contribution and let the game that he loves grow - the remarks of a truly extraordinary footballer.
His grace and quality on the ball was seen from day one, as countless defence splitting passes and world-class movement, produced by the Italian, had fans screaming for more as he truly personified the beautiful game.
Such form lead many to believe Sydney would be title contenders if form permitted. 'ADP' has sent fans into a hysteria since his arrival, proving that class has no age barrier.
After a somewhat purple patch of form and numerous rumours surrounding the early departure of the veteran from his Sydney club, Del Piero put all doubters to shame, playing an instrumental role in Sydney's 7-1 demolition of Wellington Phoenix.
Picking up a first-half hat-trick, followed by a majestic second-half strike that added to Wellington's woes, Del Piero finished off the night with a standing ovation from the crowd following his substitution.
The Juventus great has amassed a staggering nine goals in 14 games for the Sky Blues thus far, a very respectable achievement for a player coming into the twilight of his career.
Where the future lies for this footballing immortal is unknown. One thing is for certain - his enrichment of Australian football will forever live in the hearts of fans, as they can truly say they have witnessed one of the greats in action.

Small-to-midsize companies are fed up with banks that won't lend to them. Income-seeking investors are fed up with bonds whose interest payments are barely big enough to cover the cable bill. Sooner or later, these two groups of disappointed suitors were bound to meet cute. And sure enough, as the Wall Street Journal's Julie Steinberg reports this week, growing numbers of money managers have been connecting the two groups through "direct-lending funds," which let high-net-worth investors lend money directly to privately held companies. Steinberg reports that 48 direct-lending funds were launched in 2012, up from 20 in 2007 (when bond interest was, of course, significantly higher).
The pitch: Direct-lending fund investors collect far higher interest rates than they would from ordinary bonds, including junk bonds—adding up to annual returns of between 10% and 14% in recent years. Another advantage: The funds' loans are usually "senior secured," so if a borrower defaults, investors are more likely than bond owners to be able to recover their principal. One manager tells Steinberg that the default rates for direct loans ranges between 4% and 5%--comparable to junk bonds' default rate.
Still, there are plenty of hurdles that will keep most investors away. Direct-lending funds are usually structured like hedge funds – meaning high fees, high minimums ($500,000 to $2 million is typical) and lock-up periods of five years or more during which they can't withdraw their principal. (Investors do collect interest payments during the lockup period.) Some wealth managers say they're trying to democratize the opportunity, relatively speaking: They're aiming to pool smaller stakes—say, $50,000 per investor—from multiple clients. A bigger issue: Unlike mutual-fund data, information about direct-lending funds' performance and holdings isn't publicly reported, making this leap for yield a bigger-than-usual leap of faith.

Geophysicist at NM Bureau of Geology Has Research Published, March 17, 2005
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., March 17, 2005 – Marshall Reiter, principal senior geophysicist at the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (NMBGMR), is the author of two recently published research papers focusing on extended studies of subsurface temperature measurements taken at field sites at Tomé, N.M. and Arroyo del Coyote near Socorro.
In a recent volume of Pure and Applied Geophysics, Reiter examines how subsurface temperatures are affected by ground-water flow and ground surface temperature changes, and, in turn, how scientific interpretations of ground-water flow and ground surface warming are interactively influencing subsurface temperatures.
"This study looks into how much of the measurable changes in subsurface temperatures can be attributed to each phenomenon," Reiter says. "That hadn't been done before, as most geoscientists assumed that changes in subsurface temperatures were affected by changes in surface temperatures, but it's clear that ground-water flow also influences the subsurface temperature."
Reiter's study, titled "Possible Ambiguities in Subsurface Temperature Logs: Consideration of Ground-water Flow and Ground Surface Temperature Change," uses data from field sites at Tomé and Evain, Canada.
In his second recently published article, Reiter investigates subsurface temperatures associated with the earthquake-producing layer at Arroyo del Coyote, across the Rio Grande from Socorro.
"Subsurface temperatures and crustal strength changes within the seismogenic layer at Arroyo del Coyote in the Socorro seismic area, central Rio Grande rift, New Mexico" reports that upper crustal strength in this area may be much more dependent on in situ temperatures than on in situ stresses found at depths of about five miles.
Reiter's research paper is featured in the current issue of The Geological Society of America Bulletin.
"Through this study, we have been able to determine that subsurface temperatures may be used to define portions of the crust which may be slightly weaker," Reiter explains, "and are therefore zones where earthquakes are more likely to occur."
Arroyo del Coyote is within the Socorro seismic area, Reiter points out, and as such has been the subject of several other geophysical studies over the past 30 years.
"Arroyo del Coyote is a wonderful place for this type of study because earthquake depths and corresponding temperatures at these depths have already been very well determined," Reiter says.
Reiter has studied subsurface temperatures as part of his ongoing research for 40 years. He has been a geophysicist with New Mexico Tech and the NMBGMR, a research and service division of the university, for more than 35 years.

Calder Cup Finals vs. Manitoba Game 3
Although Hershey goaltender, Michal Neuvirth's, stellar performance with 28 saves that earned him a shutout and bragging rights as the number one star of the game, the gritty stylings of Steve Pinizzotto figured just as prominently in the Bears' 3-0 win over the Manitoba Moose on Saturday at Giant Center.
Pinizzotto, Hershey's fourth line punisher who has befuddled each of the Bears' opponents in the playoffs with his bone bruising style, was on top of his game early in the first period, with his workmanlike methods proving instrumental in drawing the first penalty of the game, a slashing infraction on Manitoba's Shaun Heshka at 6:14.
"For him to be effective, he's got to be that type of player," said the Bears' head coach, Bob Woods, of Pinizzotto, who has answered the challenge since their mid-March conference. "We don't need him yapping and stuff like that. We need him out there being physical, and when you play that way, you get a lot off people's attention. You get guys a little bit concerned every time you touch the puck, and when he's on the ice, you've got to keep your head up."
Hershey wasted little time on the power play that resulted from Pinizzotto's labor, when Graham Mink struck 8 seconds into the advantage. Mink's goal was his 6th of the playoffs, and 4th game-winner.
"I just wanted to get to the front of the net, and Kronwall made a great play coming down the wall and throwing it up front," said Mink. "I got my stick on it, and it bounced in over the goalie's leg pad. We wanted to get the first goal, and I was fortunate enough to be there."
Staffan Kronwall and Chris Bourque picked up the helpers on the Mink marker. Bourque's assist, his 15th of the post-season, temporarily put him in a first place tie for the league lead in that category with his teammate, Keith Aucoin.
Hershey's power play perfection continued, and Aucoin regained his assist lead midway through the second period when he assisted on Alexandre Giroux's league-leading 14th goal of the playoffs at 9:38, giving the Bears a 2-0 lead. Giroux's goal was also his 9th power play goal of the postseason.
"It was a kind of a 3-on-1 and I doubted whether to take the shot. I was thinking of passing back to Mink, but while I was in my motion, I just decided to let it go," said Giroux, explaining his change-of-pace shot. "It was not my hardest shot, but sometimes you just have to place it and it goes in."
Neuvirth, who did not see his first shot of the game until more than six minutes had elapsed, displayed some of his best handiwork when he made a pair of glittering glove saves later in the game on Jason Jaffray, who scored a hat trick at the rookie's expense in game two in Manitoba.
"The first saves are always huge, and I want to make the saves as early as I can," said Neuvirth. "It's always tough for a goalie to have to stand there for like six minutes."
An empty net goal by the recently returning Quintin Laing sealed the Moose's fate for the evening, giving the Bears the 2-1 lead in the Calder Cup Finals.
Neuvirth, who earned his sixth number one star of the game, and fourth shutout victory, drew high praise from veteran forward Mink, who also had a firsthand look when Frederic Cassivi backstopped the Bears to the 2006 Calder Cup Championship.
"Nothing rattles him, nothing phases him. He's given us a chance to win every game. That's all you can ask out of a goalie, especially one as young as he is. He's got a promising future."

Giovanni Legrenzi short biography
One of the most prominent Italian musicians of the 17th Century, Giovanni Legrenzi was the teacher of Vivaldi and Caldara, among others. Legrenzi's sonatas are considered the foundation of the modern sonata format. Legrenzi's cantatas were extremely important and made enormous influence on A. Scarlatti's compositions. Legrenzi wrote works for virtually every instrument and voice, he composed operas, cantatas and instrumental music. In 1685, Legrenzi was appointed maestro di cappella at San Marco and paid most of his attention to sacred music.

Recently I read about a guy in a big city who spent more than $10,000 to "buy" himself an urban farm for his yard: tons of imported top soil, seeds and seedlings (when his own failed), a chicken coop and chickens, a rabbit hutch and rabbits.
From the article it was clear he really had no idea what he was doing. His seedlings were light-deprived and leggy. His rabbits suffered maggot infestations and heat stroke. One of his children accidentally injured a duckling so badly that it had to be euthanized. His laying hen ate her own eggs. And that's just for starters. But he spent a month eating only what he had grown and from that, landed a book contract.
This is an extreme example, and I am so turned off by the gimmick and extravagance — not to mention the suffering he caused his animals because he couldn't be bothered to learn to care for them properly before purchasing them — that I won't offer a name or location that might give him any sort of free publicity. But it seems indicative of a trend of "just-add-water" urban farms that has sprung up out of that classic American desire for instant gratification. In the Atlanta area alone I know of two companies who for a few hundred bucks will come to your home or business and install a garden complete with raised beds, lining, irrigation (the garden hose kind, not the recycled rainwater kind), soil, crops, and mulch.
They may be out there in plenty, but I have yet to see a successful installation of this sort. One company dropped some raised beds on the grounds of a new local business recently. They got a very late start in the season, however, and the plants, which are under-mulched, have been stunted by heat and drought. And a neighbor of mine purchased raised bed kits from a similar service, but the soil she received was so unbalanced that most of her summer vegetables didn't make it.
It's difficult to superimpose a garden on a place. It's much easier to cultivate one from the ground up, but it takes longer. You enter into a commitment, an ever-evolving relationship with a piece of land, and you accept that your garden is never "done." The blueberry bushes you planted five years ago are only now beginning to bear enough fruit to make a pie. The asparagus crowns you buried this year won't provide harvestable spears until 2012.
Raised beds are a reasonable short-term concept, but you have to pay attention to the soil you put in — its nutrients, its pH — and you have to monitor and maintain it. When I dug out some sod and expanded my own vegetable garden two years ago, I knew that it would be several years before that newly cultivated soil was up to par. But I'm digging in for the long haul, and each year it gets a little better.
Please don't misunderstand me: I want more people to learn to home garden and to reap its many gifts. But one of those gifts is the pleasure of delayed gratification. Insta-gardens may provide some insta-reward, but it is short-lived. You also learn to receive the gifts you are offered, rather than the ones you expect. This year I started some purple tomatillo seedlings, but they were ravaged by the rat in my shed, so no purple tomatillos for me. But last year I had such an abundance of green tomatillos that they reseeded themselves from the fruits that fell on the ground last year, and this spring I pulled up probably a hundred volunteer tomatillos in my garden, leaving four sturdy plants. And now I have another bumper crop of green tomatillos that I didn't plan on, but boy is it beautiful, as is my salsa verde.
Another gift is deep knowledge of a single place accumulated over time. Some years are better for some crops than other years, and history gives you a unique understanding of how things grow. This year, because of our rainy spring, was the fruit year. Last year it was tomatoes and tomatillos. I still think longingly back to the summer eight years ago when my basil plants — for reasons I still don't understand — grew 3 1/2 feet tall. And you learn through the years to watch how your garden changes, and you adjust accordingly. The trees in my neighbors' yards have finally grown so much that they throw too much shade over my back bed, so this will be the last year for a summer garden back there. It will be a fine spot, however, for some cool season crops to overwinter while the leaves are off the trees.
I realize not everyone will agree with my message here, and I don't want to discourage anyone from installing raised beds. But I do encourage starting small and simple, seeing it not so much as a finished project but a beginning, and celebrating and building on successes.
Study your plot over time. Be at peace with some failure. Garden for the long haul, for deep knowledge and unexpected gifts.

This prompt is from the April archive, but I liked it, and wanted to write about it. Most people have smart-phones (iPhones in particular) and can navigate the web, play games, and even use Twitter or Facebook, or some other social media site while in line. This seems like a reasonable thing to do while in line for say, an ATM or at the grocery store. For me, and other people without these abilities, I usually think about what else I have to get done that day. I sometimes people watch-this is fun to do while waiting for that self-check-out at the grocery store. Sometimes I think that they have enough employees to open another register and that I should not have to stand in line. If it's a line to go through security at the airport, I am already taking my shoes off and getting ready to get everything in to those bins and trying to get through the fastest line. I might peek at someone's shoes or little bag of shampoo samples or laptop, but mostly I consume myself in what I am doing and making sure I keep track of my stuff, especially my ID and boarding pass. I think the things I do while in line are pretty normal (but you can give to that fact by commenting). I think it depends on the length of the line and how long it's taken to get through the line. The more these factors increase, the more friendly you become to the people you are behind or who are behind you. Have you ever had to watch someone's stuff and their place in line? What if it becomes their/your turn before they return? How about getting to the end of the line just to find out that you don't want anything you were standing in line for or that you can't get what you were in line for because it's sold out? That's the worst. I guess I am always thinking about that while in line. Do you remember hearing (or being a part of) conversations of the use or "in line" versus "on line"? I think this only happened when the Internet became more popular. Of course, now you can be online while in line. And now we've come full circle.
I remember when I was younger, and waiting in line, I would play hand games (like Miss Mary Mack) or I would think of things I could do in 10 minutes or in 5 minutes. I remember my dad always looking for the fastest line. Always in a hurry to get to the front of the line.
What's the worst/longest line you've been in? Was it the typical DMV line that never seems to move? How about those mazes of rope to go through while in line? I remember winding through those at the airport, waiting to check-in and check our bags. I feel like those lines have gotten smaller because of online check-ins and boarding passes on phones and things like that. More convenience this way? What if you can't get the page to load? Fewer lines; but more worry about getting your boarding pass. What other technology is there that reduced lines? I think a lot of things that you can do on your computer and therefore people do not go to places and stand in line anymore. I guess this post is going nowhere? Much like the line you are in reading this?! 🙂

Skip to comments.Obamacare Tax Hikes To Hit 'Pacemakers, Prosthetics, Other Vital Medical Equipment'...
Posted on 11/30/2012 9:51:03 AM PST by CNSNews.com
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) warns that the Obamacare tax hikes set to kick in at the start of 2013 are "a big part of the fiscal cliff" that will hurt those in need of vital medical equipment.
Today, Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Jordan issued the following statement highlighting the $1.058 trillion in higher taxes coming from ObamaCare over the next ten years. Many of the tax increases take effect on January 1, 2013:
"ObamaCare raises taxes on middle-income families, employers and investors. It hikes taxes on people with no health insurance, people with too little insurance and people with too much. Taxes are even going up on pacemakers, prosthetics, and other vital medical equipment."
"The ObamaCare tax hikes are a big part of the fiscal cliff. Stopping them should be part of the solution."
Sometimes people are encouraged to "vote with their feet" ... but this is not always possible.
When Obama voters' mothers and fathers start dying because of the rationing of Obamacare, the taxes on their needed medical devices and taxes on their 'cadillac' insurance plans, they will finally see what they have done to this once great nation...................
This is what happens when you "...pass it and find out what's in it later"
AND Republicans are still sitting there like a bunch of mute, halfwits.... until the house falls on them (and us)!!!!
Obie wants the weak to die as quickly as possible.
Never forget, this is the same person who voted repeatedly to deny care to the baby that survives an abortion. Just let them die on a metal table. One more cold blooded SOB he is.
Most affected? Those who can't get what they need because the devices will be rationed.
Glad I got my pacemaker last month.
Knew there had to be a bright side to having that procedure done. Now I know what it was.
"When Obama voters mothers and fathers start dying because of the rationing of Obamacare, the taxes on their needed medical devices and taxes on their cadillac insurance plans, they will finally see what they have done to this once great nation..................."
Many of the Obama voters don't know her their fathers are so they won't care about what happens to the sperm donor. Given that many of them are raised by their grandmothers, they'll probably only care about their mothers if granny isn't around to babysit and they rely on mom. To the extent these voters rely on Medicaid they won't care about taxes on private cadillac plans or medical devices since they will have no visibility of these taxes. It is all free to them.
The only thing about Obamacare that may make these people angry is having to wait longer for care. No doubt the government will figure this out and start forcing doctors to practice in the public health centers and hospital emergency rooms where the urban voters get their care.
With respect to the cadillac plans of public and private sector union workers, the taxes have already been delayed and will be postponed again when the deadline approaches for them being taxed. The cost of taxes on medical devices will be passed through to the government or the company by the union plan.
The wealthy Democrat elites (politicians, academics, trust fund babies, media stars, and Wall Street bankers will be able to afford exclusive private clinics that are invisible and inaccessible to the middle class. No doubt the major university hospitals will have special wards with a different level of care.
To most Obama voters, health care will be wonderful in coming years.
How better to make healthcare more AFFORDABLE than taxing medical equipment?? snort
400 MA companies in this field and the dimwits voted Scott Brown out who was trying to save these jobs.
And the voters rejected him -- because he was an extemist. A zealous right-winger. A "teabagger".
They felt much more comfortable with someone like Elizabeth Warren.
A friend who works for the Medical Device association here in DC told me that new products / devices that were already in the works will continue research and development for the next five years. All future new r&d will happen overseas b/c the taxes placed on medical devices under Obamacare. This is his livelihood yet he voted for Obama. Go figure...

I work for a "medical device manufacturer" and the early estimate is Obamacare's hidden medical device manufacturer tax will hit us to the tune of $40 million annually.
yeah, can't wait for the layoffs.
The Obama Wooden Leg Tax.
Sounds like a political winner to me /sarc
Individual pieces of Obamacare should have been made major issues of the campaign to simplify and show just how much in harms the "ordinary American"...not just collectively referring to the bill as "Obamacare" and how you want to "repeal it". You have to explain WHY it has to be repealed. This should have been hit up on as the "Obama medical device tax" (or whatever Congressmember supported it) and explain how it harms the sick and injured who need this care - because it does - not only by making it more expensive, but also less available because the companies are scaling back operations (which also results in people losing their jobs and prevents new jobs from being created).
Once that narrative has run its course, move on to how to the bill took away choice of lenders for college students taking out student loans.
Then move on to how it blocked the construction of new hospitals - perhaps show someone arriving to a vacant lot for treatment where a medical center could have stood.
Then how it has taken away health insurance policies at low cost for poor college students.
Took away child only health insurance policies. And so on. Simplify and illustrate with real world examples people can actually understand. That was a completely lost art this election cycle and extremely frustrating.
Some of my friends who vote straight Dem tickets say it was a "great day for America". I ask them what that means. They have no answer.
Now you get to start worrying about how long it will last.
Unfortunately, no black market in pacers (AFAIK).

Mathematics is the foundation of the sciences and is at the core of a liberal arts education. Many great ideas in human history are mathematical in nature or are easily understood by viewing them mathematically. The idea of infinity was first explained by mathematicians, for example, although originated by philosophers and theologians.While mathematics has practical applications to many academic disciplines, including business, computer science, psychology, political science, music, chemistry and physics, most mathematicians do not study mathematics because it is useful. Instead, they study mathematics for the same reason that other people study art, music or literature – because it interests them.The Math MajorBerry's broad-based mathematics major is designed to prepare you for graduate study or a professional career. You also can earn a degree to teach mathematics in grades 6-12.
In your first two years as a math major you'll get a solid foundation of calculus, differential equations and linear algebra, as well as an introduction to proof. Then you'll study abstract algebra, real and complex analysis and other electives. Faculty members also teach "special topics" courses. Subjects that have been offered or are under consideration include topology, combinatorics, knot theory, differential geometry, chaos theory, fractal geometry, graph theory and functional analysis.
In addition, you'll have the opportunity to take directed-readings courses in areas that are of particular interest to you. Students have studied partial differential equations, number theory and topology. They also have prepared to take the mathematics GRE subject test and the first actuarial exam.
Learning Outside the ClassroomYou'll have several options outside the classroom to advance your mathematics education. Opportunities include:
Scholarships are Available
Outstanding upper-class students are eligible for special mathematics scholarships, including the:
Graduate StudyBerry College mathematics students have gone on to graduate school at such places as Duke University, the University of Virginia, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Georgia Tech, Georgia State, the University of Georgia, Auburn University, Syracuse University, Tulane, Clemson and Harvard.

Even when that profound experience I'm referring to includes pizza? Oui.
Although everyone says
Pizza Parma from Pizzeria Carmine in Paris
So far, there have been a few interesting pizzas that have left an impression on me. The first was at Rustico, in
First, an easy pizza sauce. This makes much more than you need for one pizza, but I divide it into smaller freezer bags or containers and freeze it for the next time we make pizza. Thaw in the microwave before using. I'm not kidding around with the San Marzano tomatoes, either; their texture is much better than other brands of crushed tomatoes. Pizza making is serious business, right? One of these days, we're going to get back into making our own pizza dough, which we used to love doing. But, when there isn't time for that, we love the fresh dough you can buy at Whole Foods and form yourself.
Easy Pizza Sauce
1 28-oz can San Marzano crushed tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 Tbsp dried basil
2 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried crushed chili flakes, or to taste
½ tsp salt
1 tsp olive oil
Combine all the above ingredients in a small bowl until well mixed. No need to cook it! Makes enough for maybe 4 large pizzas.
Chicken, Bacon and Apple Pizza with White Cheddar
1 cup leftover roast chicken
3 slices bacon, diced
1 granny smith or gala apple, diced or thinly sliced
½ onion, thinly sliced
Easy pizza sauce
½ cup grated white cheddar
1 small ball fresh mozzarella
Dried oregano
Your favorite pizza crust
Sauté the bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Wipe out the pan and add a little olive oil. Sauté the onion and apple until slightly softened.
Form the pizza crust as thick or thin as you wish, on a pizza peel, if you have one, or a baking sheet if you don't. If you have a pizza stone, preheat it in a very hot oven, at least 450 degrees. If using a baking sheet, 425 may be sufficient.
Top the crust with as much sauce as you like, some shredded chicken, some bacon pieces and the apple and onion mixture. Sprinkle with some cheddar, slices of fresh mozzarella, and dried oregano. Bake for 10 minutes, or so, until the crust is crispy and cheese melted.
A white pizza that makes an equally divine appetizer when entertaining, or dinner when simply hungry.
¼ whole butternut squash, peeled and diced
6-8 fresh sage leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ large yellow onion, thinly sliced
Fresh mozzarella
½ cup aged parmesan, or asiago cheese
Caramelize the onions by heating some olive oil in a saucepan. Add the onions and cook over medium low heat for 5-7 minutes to sweat the onions until very soft. Season with salt and pepper and turn the heat up to medium high. Sauté, stirring every few minutes, until onions are browned and caramel colored. Remove from heat.
Toss the diced butternut squash pieces with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and spread on a small baking sheet. Roast at 375 for 15 minutes, until tender and slightly browned.
Brush your pizza crust with some olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic. Top with the cheeses, caramelized onions, sage leaves and diced butternut squash. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Cool slightly before cutting and serving.

Yves Saint Laurent, who exploded on the fashion scene in 1958 as the boy-wonder successor to Christian Dior and endured as one of the best-known and most influential couturiers of the second half of the 20th century, died on June 1, 2008, in Paris. He was 71.
The designer who arguably did more to advance fashion than any other of his generation pointed the way to the future by consistently reviving the past. His enduring fascination with more gracious or, perhaps, more vital times, informed his refined, theatrical aesthetic and made him the most influential designer of his day. His celebrated fashions of the '60s and the '70s continue to inspire younger generations.
Saint Laurent achieved his greatest triumphs in the midst of a notoriously turbulent emotional life, giving him mythical stature in his own time. Born Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent in Oran, Algeria, he seemed intent on burnishing that myth from an early age. Precociously, he entered a design contest while still in his teens and won the attention of Christian Dior, who eventually tapped him to take over his legendary fashion house. In 1958, shortly after Dior's death, Saint Laurent, then 21, was credited with saving the moribund house of Dior with his Trapeze line, displaying a daring that would flourish through much of his career. The beat-inspired biker jackets and turtleneck sweaters of his next, and last, collection for Dior were widely disparaged yet sealed his reputation as a designer who elevated the look of the streets to haute couture.
In 1962, he opened his own fashion house, and during the next decades designed androgynous looks like his safari jacket with tight pants and thigh-high boots and, most memorably, Le Smoking, the classic tuxedo suit for women.
Throughout his career, Saint Laurent was visibly indebted to the work of mid-20th-century painters including Braque, Picasso and Mondrian and the flamboyant fashions of earlier eras. He reinterpreted the belle époque, the '30s and '40s, incensing critics in 1971 by unveiling his '40s-inflected square-shouldered silhouette, which became a dominant look of the decade. His interpretation of the pantsuit has been credited with revolutionizing the way women dress.
"Chanel gave liberation of the body to women," said Pierre Bergé, his onetime companion and lifetime business partner, "and Saint Laurent gave power to women with the men's clothes."
In 1966, Saint Laurent introduced Rive Gauche, a ready-to-wear collection, and a boutique of the same name. He was the first designer to use black models in his runway shows.
He was embraced by the haute monde; his clients and muses included aristocratic young women like Loulou de la Falaise and Parisian social pillars like Marie-Hélène de Rothschild, and the iconic French actress Catherine Deneuve. In 1983 he became the first living fashion designer to be honored with a show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Saint Laurent's career was famously marred by repeated episodes of substance abuse that injured his health. By the '90s, his designs were often little more than reprises of his greatest hits. In 1998, he sold his ready-to-wear house to Gucci Group, leaving him and Mr. Bergé with only the couture. With Mr. Bergé, he created a foundation in Paris to commemorate the history of the house of YSL, an archive of 15,000 objects and 5,000 pieces of clothing. He retired in 2002 and had become increasingly reclusive, spending much of his time at his house in Marrakech, in Morocco.

WACO, Texas (AP) Trevone Boykin threw for 261 yards and four touchdowns, all those scores coming on third-down plays, and TCU won 49-21 at Baylor on Saturday night to end the Bears' nine-game home winning streak.
Boykin, the redshirt freshman who completed 22 of 30 passes without a turnover, added 56 yards rushing with a late 3-yard touchdown for the Horned Frogs (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) in his second start.
The Horned Frogs took advantage of six turnovers by Baylor (3-2, 0-2). That included four interceptions by Nick Florence, who had touchdown passes of 74 and 77 yards to Terrance Williams.
Florence's first scoring pass came on the second play of the game, but TCU led for good after Boykin had touchdown passes of 18 and 15 yards to Cam White.
It was the first league game between the two teams since 1995, the last year of the Southwest Conference.

Most children this summer will enjoy swimming with no problems, while some might develop otitis externa, or swimmer's ear.
Swimmer's ear is an infection involving the sensitive, skin-lined ear canal. This part of the ear produces wax that can help clean the canal, waterproof it and also provide an acidic pH giving it an antibiotic effect to help fend off infections.
Disruption to the healthy environment of the ear canal is the cause of swimmer's ear. This usually occurs when the canal becomes wet and is subjected to mild trauma like cleaning with cotton swab, replacing a hearing aid or scratching. Moisture breaks down the protective layer of ear wax and leads to swelling of the canal skin, allowing bacteria to enter into the skin and cause inflammation and infection. The warmer summertime temperatures and swimming offer the perfect setting to develop swimmer's ear. An infection can develop even after exposure to clean, chlorinated water of swimming pools.
A child complaining of ear pain, regardless of cause, should see a pediatrician. A history of recent swimming and/or manipulation of the ear canal will raise the suspicion of swimmer's ear. It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between swimmer's ear and a middle ear infection, which is more common in cold weather months after an upper respiratory infection. If moving your child's ear up and down causes pain, it is most likely swimmer's ear.
Treatment of swimmer's ear is usually handled by your child's pediatrician; only complicated cases require a referral to an ear, nose and throat specialist (ENT), also known as an otolaryngologist. The most common treatment is the application of antibiotic eardrops. During treatment, swimming should be avoided and when bathing the canal can be protected with a petroleum jelly-covered cotton ball. Pain is the dominant symptom and can be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
If a child suffers with recurrent swimmer's ear, preventive measures can be taken such as getting all water out of the ear after swimming and using over-the-counter swimmer's ear drops to evaporate any residual water in the ear canal. The use of ear plugs is generally not recommended for the management of swimmer's ear because this may cause mild trauma to the ear canal and can lead to impaction of ear wax.
If the proper precautions are taken your child can enjoy a fun and pain-free summer of swimming.
Dr. James Forsen, Jr. is a pediatric otolaryngologist at Mercy Children's Hospital.

I would love to help or be part of this project! Do you mean Furry Teens as in this website? You couldn't do that unless you've got the right permission. Now, you could have a channel for Teenagers in the Furry Fandom but it couldn't be related to Furry Teens. Running a YouTube channel or any other official social media site can be a hard job. Especially, when you've got multiple people trying to contribute and possibly people getting mad and causing drama. It also takes a bit of effort to push a channel past a few hundred subscribers and some may get bored of the channel and leave.You've also got the issue of what if the channel is a successful and you gets ad revenue. Who gets the money? Will the money be split evenly or should it just be donated. These all questions that need to be answered.I'm not being negative, I'm just making sure everybody knows about the challenges that await them.

Capital and port at the same time, the city of Lefkada welcomes visitors with its beautiful narrow streets, small squares, traditional houses, fine belfries and paved pedestrian streets. It is connected with the opposite coastline of Sterea Ellada by a bridge and has approximately 8.000 inhabitants.
The fortress of Aghia Mavra, situated at the entrance of the city, was built by the Sicilian Ioanni Orsini in 1300. It is built next to an artificial canal on an islet of the lagoon; later, both Venetians and Turks have added some pieces.

Launch of Natixis Short Term Global High Income Fund to take advantage of the attractive yield offered by short-term High Yield bonds
Natixis Short Term Global High Income Fund implements active management strategy focused on bond selection.
Invested in High Yield rated (1) credit bonds from OECD countries, Natixis Short Term Global High Income Fund benefits from a non-benchmarked active management strategy without sector allocation combined with a 100% bottom up approach (2). To deploy this strategy, the fund managers are supported by the expertise of the Natixis Asset Management credit research team comprising 17 analysts based in Europe and United States.
Natixis Short Term Global High Income Fund aims to take advantage of short term High Yield bonds, which are particularly attractive in the current environment:
- Historically they have proven less sensitive to interest rate rises and will be less volatile than the credit market as a whole (3);
- They respond to the demand from clients subject to Solvency II, notably insurance companies, who are seeking investments with a limited cost of capital;
- Over the long term, they offer lower volatility than High Yield across all maturities.
The portfolio of Natixis Short Term Global High Income Fund holds an average of 60 international issues with an average duration of less than two years. The minimum recommended investment horizon in the fund is three years.
(1) High Yield – Rating below BBB- (Standard & Poor's Ratings Services), Baa3 (Moody's Investors Service, Inc.) or equivalent for Fitch ratings.
(2) An investment approach in which security selection is based on the analysis of its intrinsic qualities.
(3) The figures mentioned are from previous years. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
Natixis Short Term Global High Income Fund is a sub-fund of the UCITS under Luxembourg law, Natixis International Funds (Lux) I set up in 2013 and managed by NGAM S.A. The specific risks linked to investments in the Fund concern exposure to derivatives, counterparty risk, securities whose ratings are below Investment Grade, interest rate volatility, geographical concentration, currency risk, and credit and liquidity risk.
