Birth Defects From Effexor
Get Help: Birth Defects from Effexor
If you were taking the anti-depressant Effexor while pregnant, and your eagerly awaited bundle of joy has suffered birth defects from Effexor, we may be able to get your child the help they need. Unfortunately, the scenario has started manifesting itself around the country, with distraught parents being confronted by the serious complications brought about by the drug.
If you need help with a zoloft lawsuit, which is also an ssri like effexor, we can help you.
How Birth Defects from Effexor are Caused
Effexor is mainly used as an antidepressant. The FDA approved it to be used for only four illnesses, yet physicians have often gone around the system, prescribing it for other uses; which is growing in popularity. Effexor works by regulating levels of stress hormones which enable the brain to detect pain; and subsequently cause bad moods. For this reason, it has been found to help patients suffering from a wide spectrum of stress conditions, including migraines and generalized anxiety disorders.
When taken in the first trimester of pregnancy, there are heightened chances of having a baby who has potentially life- threatening conditions. There are different grades for drug safety, which are assigned to specific medications by the FDA. Effexor was given Grade C. This is a grade given to pharmaceutical products which have been PROVEN to harm lab animal babies, if the mothers are administered high doses of the product, during pregnancy.
Characteristics of Birth Defects from Effexor
Attorneys are beginning cases on behalf of women whose children have been found to have suffered from a host of complications from the medication. If a new mother finds that their infant is suffering from these injuries, they may be eligible for representation in court. The following are characteristics of the side effects on the newborns, and may be used as a basis for investigation;
- The baby is born with a cleft palate or lip
- The intestines of the baby were protruding out of the body at birth
- Heart defects such as an enlarged heart, septal defects, narrow aorta and heart valve problems
- Deformity of the skull
- Abnormally large head
- Defects of the neural tube, which may later lead to paralysis
- Club-foot and other limb defects
There is Help: Contact Our Lawyers

Effexor and Pregnancy
Effexor and Pregnancy Side Effects
For a long while, the effects of Effexor and Pregnancy were unknown. Only after the drug remained on the market for years was it noticed that fetuses that were exposed to Effexor before birth have a high risk of developing side effects. The side effects include developmental delays, lung and heart defects. Though little research on risk & pregnancy defects has been conducted, similar anti-depressant medications have resulted to serious risks on the newborn babies.
Effexor (venlafaxine) is included in the list of SNRIs (serotonin norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitors). This means that it inhibits the uptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine. Wyeth, the manufacturer, claims that Effexor helps increase levels of norepinephrine and serotonin between the cells of the brain, which boosts transmission of the electrical signals in the brain and improves the overall wellbeing of the patient.
Recent studies have raised eyebrows over Effexor's side effects although the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved it anyway. Recent research has shown that women who were using Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) in their 1st trimester of the pregnancy have a 40% greater risk of bearing malformed babies. They also have a 60% higher risk of having babies with heart defects.
Another study shows a link between SSRIs & major malformations such as the cardiac malformation. The risk is higher to women who had prescriptions for Effexor filled in the 30 days before conception through the end of the 1st trimester in comparison with those who had no Effexor prescriptions during the same period.
Effexor and Pregnancy has been placed in Category C by the FDA. It implies that FDA knows that it causes risk to the unborn if used during pregnancy.
Effexor and Pregnancy Developmental Delays
A recent study has linked babies exposed to Effexor during the 2nd and/or 3rd trimester of pregnancy to numerous developmental delays. The delays included walking later and delay in sitting upright without support compared to children not exposed to Effexor. The children exposed to Effexor sat 16 days later & walked a month later when compared to children not exposed to Effexor.
At the age of 19 months, the exposed children had difficulty occupying themselves above 15 minutes compared to children not exposed to Effexor.
Researchers concluded that Effexor and pregnancy use had a permanent or reversible effect on the fetal brain development though the intensity depends on which trimester the fetus was exposed.
Effexor and Pregnancy Defects
Here are defects linked to use of Effexor during pregnancy:
· Cleft lip & cleft palate – incomplete development of the lip and mouth
· Club foot – one or two feet turn inward and downward and may be deformed
· Anal Atresia – partial or complete closure of the anus.
· Neural-tube defects – brain & spinal cord defects.
· Craniosynostosis – an abnormally shaped skull.
Serotonin Norepinephrine Re-uptake Inhibitors (SNRI)
Effexor is used to treat serious depression & other mood disorders. Effexor works by increasing the levels of both serotonin & norepinephrine which are the major transmitters in the brain. Pristiq, also known as desvenlafaxine, is a major anti-depressant drug manufactured by Pfizer that has side effects similar to Effexor.

Effexor Birth Defects
Information Regarding Effexor Birth Defects
Effexor birth defects can occur in infants born to mothers who took the drug during pregnancy. Effexor is meant to manage depression. It belongs to the antidepressant class of drugs known as (SNRIs). SNRI is an abbreviation for Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake Inhibitor. These drugs are intended to treat generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. These drugs are said to reduce diabetic neuropathy pain and treat depression and anxiety.
Unfortunately, while Effexor is effective in its intended purpose, it may leave you with adverse side effects that can change your life negatively. Some defects associated with the use of Effexor include cleft palate and clubbed foot. Other dangerous Effexor birth complications include heart, respiratory, and neural birth defects.
Effexor and Birth Defects
Effexor is manufactured by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. The company was later bought by Pfizer Inc. Effexor is the brand name for the drug Venlafaxine.
According to a recent research study, women taking Effexor that are intending to get pregnant and those that are in their first trimester of pregnancy have a 40% greater risk of their child suffering from Effexor birth defects. These women also have a 60% greater risk of their child developing Effexor birth defects of the heart if they continue to use Effexor during pregnancy.
Effexor Birth Defects Lawsuits
Multiple Effexor lawsuits have been filed across the nation by parents whose children were born with Effexor birth defects. The first lawsuit was filed by an Ohio couple that sued Wyeth Pharmaceuticals and Pfizer Inc. for the Effexor birth defects that were exhibited in their daughter. Their child was born with severe heart defects and she died shortly after she was born.
In one case in Pennsylvania, a child was born with Craniosynostosis. This Effexor birth defect is described as a condition in which the skull forms with too little room for the brain to fit in.
Another well-known lawsuit was filed by Melissa Beatty in Ohio in 2005. The mother claimed that her daughter was born with several heart anomalies. She was suing the manufacturer for failing to disclose important information regarding the use of Effexor to patients, especially expectant mothers and women of a childbearing age.
The plaintiff also claimed that the manufacturing company failed to disclose accurate data regarding the studies and tests done on the drug to the FDA. Because of the company, her daughter now suffers several physical complications in addition to mental anguish, emotional pain, annihilation from society and other injuries and losses.
Another couple sued Wyeth in a medical malpractices and product liability lawsuit claiming that their daughter was born with severe heart defects that forced her to undergo surgery and still expects more surgeries to correct the heart defect in the future.The lawsuits are numerous. These are just a few examples.
The Best Course of Action
Depending on the degree of Injury to your child, an Effexor birth defects lawyer will advise you on the best lawsuit to pursue. You may be advised to join an Effexor birth defects class action or to file an individual lawsuit.

In an individual lawsuit, the plaintiff has the luxury of choosing their own Effexor birth defects attorney. The compensation amount is also flexible. There are no fixed limits on how much compensation the plaintiff may receive.
Some cases are better addressed in a class action, but you need to consult a qualified Effexor birth defects attorney who can get an understanding of your unique situation and advise you on the best course of action for your lawsuit.

The Brandeis men's track and field team had a strong meet at the Boston University Terrier Invitational over the weekend. Competing against a massive field of Division I, II, III and unattached runners, more than half of the Brandeis athletes in attendance set personal bests.
There were more than 100 competitors in many of the events, including some of the best collegiate athletes in the country. The men's meet was held on Saturday, one day after the women's squad competed.
Rookie Ben Pomerantz (Barrington, R.I./Barrington) ran the 200-meter dash in 24.58 seconds, nearly a full second faster than he ran in his first collegiate meet last week. Sophomore Makalani Mack (Forest Park, Ga./Carver School of the Arts) ran the event in 26.16.
Junior Mohamed Sidique (Harlem, N.Y./St. Raymond H.S. for Boys) shaved two seconds off of his personal best in the 400, finishing in 52.75 seconds.
Sidique also performed well in the field events, reaching 6.14 meters in the long jump. The distance was good for second in Division III, 28th overall, and topped his previous career long by 0.10 meters.
Rookie Nick Wactor (Oakland, Calif./Head-Royce), sophomore Trevor Tuplin (Weymouth, Mass./Weymouth) and rookie Jeremy Wilson (Elizabeth, N.J./Elizabeth) finished the 400 in 53.47, 54.34 and 54.56 seconds, respectively, all personal records.
The 4x400 relay team of Sidique, Wilson, Tuplin and Wactor ran a 3:33.34, the Judges' best time this season.
Sophomore Matt Becker (Mendon, Mass./Nipmuc Regional) ran the 800 nearly five seconds faster than his previous personal best, finishing in 2:03.36.
One week after shaving more than 2.5 seconds off of his personal best in the mile, sophomore Grady Ward (Essex Junction, Vt./Essex) nearly did so again. His time of 4:25.55 easily eclipsed the 4:27.39 that he ran last week. He placed just 90th overall, but was one of the top 15 Division III runners.
Rookie Matt Doran (Hopedale, Mass./Hopedale) finished the mile in 4:35.08, while classmate Daniel Leon (New York, N.Y./Bronx H.S. of Science) ran it in 4:45.44, both personal bests.
Rookie Mark Franklin (Auburn, N.H./Pinkerton Acad.) reached 1.80 meters in the high jump, good for third in Division III and 25th overall.
Sophomores Adam Berger's (Concord, N.H./Concord) distance of 5.58 m in the long jump was his best mark of the season. Berger finished 27th in the triple jump (second in Division III) with a distance of 12.58 meters.
Brandeis is back in action this weekend. The Judges will travel to Medford, Mass. for the Tufts Stampede.

Permits provide a means to balance use and conservation of protected species. Permits can be important as a conservation tool, to promote long-term conservation of animals, plants, and their habitats, and encourage joint stewardship with others.
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service issues permits under various wildlife laws and treaties at different offices at the national, regional, and/or wildlife port levels. (We do not issue hunting and fishing licenses. Instead, those are issued by State wildlife agencies.)
Permits enable the public to engage in legitimate wildlife-related activities that would otherwise be prohibited by law. Service permit programs ensure that such activities are carried out in a manner that safeguards wildlife. Additionally, some permits promote conservation efforts by authorizing scientific research, generating data, or allowing wildlife management and rehabilitation activities to go forward.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act makes it illegal for anyone to take, possess, import, export, transport, sell, purchase, barter, or offer for sale, purchase, or barter, any migratory bird, or the parts, nests, or eggs of such a bird except under the terms of a valid permit issued pursuant to Federal regulations. The migratory bird species protected by the Act are listed in 50 CFR 10.13.

About Careers
Our graduates work in financial and insurance companies as analysts, computer companies as programmers and hardware developers, and in many different fields as researchers, as well as academia. They have gone to excellent graduate schools in mathematics (pure, applied, & financial), physics, design, accounting, and M.B.A. programs.
To get an idea of what you can do with a degree in applied mathematics:
- "Thinking of a Career in Applied Mathematics?" and more from SIAM on Careers & Jobs.
- An interesting article in CNN Financial News on the increasing popularity of applied mathematics careers, and one on the growing role of mathematics applications from the point of view of the business world.
- Information about the mathematics profession from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- The American Mathematical Society has a site with career information for (non-academic) mathematicians. (Also this and this.)
- The Mathematical Association of America has career information for members, lists examples of how mathematics is used in the workplace, and published the book 101 Careers in Mathematics.
- This Wall Street Journal article states the best careers use math extensively, based on a range of factors, from quality of work life to salary to career prospects.
- Mathematicians, statisticians, and actuaries have some of the best jobs in the country according to CareerCast, a job-seeker assistance website.
- You can become an actuary. These sites were recommended by Israel Krakowski (Travelers):
- You can become a statistician.
- One of the largest employers of Applied Mathematics majors is the federal government, with many agencies and departments looking for applicants. Here is a list of the most popular agencies:
- Applied math majors can become K-12 teachers (for example, Tony Parrillo '08). To teach college, one must go to graduate school.
Finding a job
The Career Management Center (CMC)
The CMC is your main on-campus resource for jobs and internships. CMC has a database of short-term and long-term employment opportunities. Visit the CMC early in you college career.
Recommended: Go to the CMC. Speak with the CMC staff or come to the department of applied mathematics and speak to a faculty member about career opportunities.
Recommended: Make a portfolio. The director of the CMC, Bruce Mueller, has assured us that with your portfolios, the CMC can find jobs for applied math majors when they travel around meeting with companies.
Recommended: Attend Career Fairs. Very few of the employers will have actually have "Applied Mathematics" listed specifically as something that they are seeking. While they do hire our majors, their representatives at the fairs are mostly geared toward recruiting engineers. So, we don't recommend just showing up that day with a resume and hoping for the best.

The fun thing about these colorful plants is that they are so easy to root and share. Simply trim a top cutting with six inches or more of stem, remove the old leaves and put it in a flower vase near a window. While enjoying the indoor tropical colors, your new cutting should form roots in just a few weeks and will be ready to pot in a months time.
The growth rate of Black Strap will vary greatly depending on soil type, sunlight, temperature and other factors. A few leaves are often trimmed prior to shipping to reduce transpiration and travel stress.
When you receive your new Hawaiian Ti, there is no need to worry about planting right away. Your new plant can be stored for a while by simply placing it in a bucket with about a half inch of water and moving it to a shady location, simply water when dry. This will give you plenty of time to select the ideal location for your new Hawaiian Ti.

Drug bust in Orange County
Deputies with the Orange County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) arrested two people Wednesday, Jan. 8, after a traffic stop led to the discovery of methamphetamine, LSD and marijuana.
According to a news release from OCSO, narcotics deputies made a traffic stop at approximately 8:55 p.m. near mile marker 864 on eastbound Interstate 10. Upon speaking with the driver of the vehicle, a deputy reportedly saw a glass meth pipe inside the vehicle in plain view. A search of the vehicle revealed approximately two ounces of methamphetamine and a quantity of LSD.
The driver, 34-year-old Orange resident Timothy Scott Murphy was arrested for two counts of possession of a controlled substance and taken to the Orange County Jail. His bond was set at $30,000. His passenger, 26-year-old Kasi Risinger of Orange, was arrested for possession of marijuana. Her bond was set at $1,000. Both remained in custody at the time of the report. Chief Deputy Clint Hodgkinson said the investigation is ongoing.
According to Sheriff Keith Merritt, his office will continue to devote its efforts to help keep illegal drugs out of our community.

Izzy has spent many years living much like a dog. She fetches (well, she used to), she comes if you call her name, she rubs up against you to get you to pet her, and she slept for many years adhered to the side of my body at night.
A couple of years ago, my sister gave me her cat, Denali. Denali started sleeping above my head on my pillow. This was too much for Izzy and she retreated from my bedroom at night.
She found Jack.
Now she sleeps adhered to the side of his body. And he loves her. For a kid who so enjoys tactile stimulation, Izzy's warm, fuzzy body is a huge draw for him.
Because we have a dog and, you know, children, we put the cats' litter box and food in a closet behind a baby gate. The gate seems to be losing some of its effectiveness, however.
The other day I found Jack on the non-person side of the fence, having slithered underneath it, through the cat-size opening, to harass Izzy while she was trying to eat.

At the moment I am looking at job opportunities in South Korea and Thailand, but like most who look at the Middle East I am tempted by the salaries offered. During my CELTA I was told by a recruiter that often what the ads state in terms of requirements isn't indicative of what they actually require. Is this true? Can I get a job in the Middle East with my qualifications? Are certain countries easier than others for me to get into?

Any employer in the Middle East who would hire you with your near complete lack of experience and credentials is almost certainly not someone that you would want to work for. Get experience teaching Academic English to adults for 3 or 4 years... and even better, add an MA to your CV, and you will be ready for a Middle East job with the reputed higher pay.

In contrast to all the other format specifiers (%d, %f, ...) of scanf(), %c (and the lesser known %[ as well) doesn't skip whitespace when trying to match the user input. It reads the next available character, whatever that is.
One problem arises when you use scanf("%c", &c) several times consecutively, e.g. inside a loop. To send the input to your program, the user has to press the enter key which is also stored in the input buffer (represented as the newline character - \n). Thus if you continuously read single characters from the input buffer, you sooner or later come across the newline character and that's when your program probably acts strangely.
To see what is happening, run the following program:
Sample session:Code:#include <stdio.h> int main(void) { char c; do { printf("Enter a letter (q to quit): "); scanf("%c", &c); printf("You've entered >>%c<<\n", c); } while (c != 'q'); return 0; }
As you can see, every second scanf()-call reads the newline character which is still left in the input buffer (there would still be a newline character left after quitting the loop!)Code:Enter a letter (q to quit): a You've entered >>a<< Enter a letter (q to quit): You've entered >> << Enter a letter (q to quit): b You've entered >>b<< Enter a letter (q to quit): You've entered >> << Enter a letter (q to quit): q You've entered >>q<<
For a simple solution to this problem you could add a space before the format specifier like:
Now scanf() skips any whitespace characters (including newline) before reading the next character, resulting in the same behavior as with the other format specifiers.Code:scanf(" %c", &c);
Another approach is flushing the input buffer after every scanf()-call, but don't use fflush(stdin)!
See also the manpage for scanf() for more details.

Birmingham Mayor Pro Tem Stuart Sherman could pay more than $335,000 to Troy-based Jacob & Weingarten PC, after jurors found he had committed conversion and embezzlement from the law firm he worked for shortly before his departure a year ago.
Jurors in a weeklong civil lawsuit trial before Oakland County Circuit Judge Michael Warren made that finding Monday over a $112,745.22 check that Sherman, a shareholder and treasurer at the firm until December 2012, wrote to himself Dec. 26, 2012. That check, drawing on law firm funds at Huntington National Bank, is ostensibly "per (a) compensation formula," at the firm, according to a handwritten memo note.
The circuit court jury also found the firm was entitled to treble damages in the case. Sherman told Crain's that check represents only what Sherman believes he is entitled to under a law firm compensation formula that two other partners at the firm had attempted to change.
"Business disputes happen all the time. This is simply a partnership dissolution, and it should have been handled internally," Sherman told Crain's Tuesday about the verdict and his departure from Jacob & Weingarten.
"I took only what I believed what I was entitled to in that dispute, and the jury saw it differently. … Sometimes these things get uglier than divorces, and that's unfortunate."
The civil judgment in Oakland County is not a criminal conviction and is unrelated to Sherman's role as pro tem of the Birmingham City Commission.
A central issue in the trial was attorney fees paid in Sherman's representation of Barry Bess, an attorney at Southfield-based Seyburn Kahn PC who was removed as trustee of three trusts at Oakland County Probate Court by Judge Daniel O'Brien on Dec. 3, 2012.
Bess wrote several checks to the firm in late November totaling about $394,000 to the firm out of those three trusts, even though the trust beneficiaries had alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and had sought to have Bess removed as a trustee since 2011.
The firm later refunded that $394,000, and attempted to withdraw from representing Bess — although several other payments to Jacob & Weingarten are still in dispute before the Michigan Court of Appeals. O'Brien later appointed Jon Angell of Troy-based Angell & Co. PLLC to manage those trusts.
The attorney for the law firm in the dispute said Sherman acted in the opposite way he was instructed.
"This payment to himself (Sherman) was in contravention of what the firm's board had told him. The management told him this wasn't exactly the most ethical circumstance for receiving payment and we may have to return this money, or be sure we have court approval for this," said Kenneth Neuman, partner at Birmingham-based Neuman Anderson PC and attorney for the Jacob & Weingarten firm at trial.
"The probate court ruled the money was improper and all of it had to be returned. And my client's decision, in saying we're not going to pay you (to Sherman), was contravened."
Sherman contends the Bess payments from the probate trusts are a "red herring" attempt by the law firm to turn the partnership dispute into a case for professional misconduct. He said he is reviewing the jury verdict with attorneys and considering whether to file an appeal.
Ken Silver, shareholder at Bloomfield Hills-based Hertz Schram PC representing the trust beneficiaries, said the fee payments to Jacob & Weingarten were all improper and the trusts are entitled to recover the other payments. He said he considers the Dec. 26 check to Sherman "an internal matter" between Sherman and the firm, but the beneficiaries could seek to make a claim against any sum the firm recovers from Sherman.
The trusts have obtained a judgment requiring the firm to return the other payments made to Jacob & Weingarten, but the firm appealed, he said.
"Although the firm, Jacob & Weingarten, was consistently adverse to our interests, in terms of our actions with the attorney fee payments, I've never asserted in pleadings that Jacob & Weingarten as a firm did anything inappropriate," he said.
Howard Sher, vice president at Jacob & Weingarten, did not return phone calls seeking comment about the verdict Tuesday. Mayer Morganroth, an attorney for Sherman at Birmingham-based Morganroth & Morganroth PC, and Angell as trustee also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Northwestern University, or "Ivy of the Midwest," is so named for its prestigious academics as well as its amazing athletic teams. With more than 150 undergraduate majors to choose from and one of the top law and med schools in the nation, this private university is gaining a lot of attention globally. The university is located in Evanston, IL, a college town just northwest (heh) of Chicago. The NCAA Division I Wildcats are a part of the Big Ten conference, with plenty of titles to brag about. Just see for yourself as you cheer with your classmates at the next football game. Better get used to wearing purple.
You already took out a ton of loans (or your parents are paying tens and thousands of dollars) for tuition, so it'd be pretty ridiculous if you're expected to shell out even more cash for the dorms. There's plenty of affordable off-campus housing options around Evanston and Chicago, if you don't mind the commute. Most of the rental listings around the school are condo units in larger buildings, as well as the occasional single-family home. Grab a couple friends and take advantage of the extremely affordable rates and start living luxuriously while still in school. Read our blog about college life if you are renting for the first time or visit Northwestern's off-campus housing page for more info.
Evanston is the quintessential college town, although it is in complete denial. The students really abide by a "word hard, play hard" mentality, but we rarely hear of the latter. However, just given the location, Evanston is a great town. It borders Chicago, which is what? The 3rd largest city in the United States? There is never going to be a dull moment. Evanston itself is a small town, but the local bars such as The Keg are great places to pregame before an exciting night out in Chi-Town. Notable Alumnus:Stephen Colbert

NASA Celebrates Sun-Earth Day With Illuminating Webcast
19 March 2009
NASA scientists will reveal new information and images about our sun and its influence on Earth and the solar system for Sun-Earth Day, recognized each year in conjunction with the spring equinox. The highlight of this year's celebration is a webcast for students and teachers around the world, beginning at 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT), Friday, March 20.
This year's theme, "Our Sun, Yours to Discover," celebrates the International Year of Astronomy and emphasizes daytime astronomy. During the live, interactive event, participants from around the world and NASA scientists will share new discoveries and visualizations about our sun. Participating students will have the opportunity to demonstrate personally designed sundials, while others will be monitoring the sun and preparing their own space weather forecast.
"Tremendous strides have been made with satellite and ground-based observations of the sun, which have enabled us to monitor the sun to gain a better understanding of the processes that govern its influence on our solar system," said Eric Christian, a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
Sun-Earth Day is a celebration of the sun and how it affects life on our planet and the space around Earth, known as geospace. For the past nine years, NASA has sponsored and coordinated education and public outreach events for Sun-Earth Day that highlight NASA heliophysics research and discoveries. NASA's goal is to use celestial events to engage the public and students in kindergarten through 12th grade via webcasts, podcasts, space science activities, demonstrations and interactions with space scientists.
"These events also support the spirit of international collaboration," said Lou Mayo, project manager at Goddard for Sun-Earth Day 2009. "We are excited about sharing the latest discoveries about our sun and encourage others to join our quest for a greater understanding of our closest star."
Goddard is producing the Sun-Earth Day webcast. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and the Adler Planetarium in Chicago also are participating in the broadcast. NASA Television and the agency's Web site will broadcast the event live.

Carine Roitfeld photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for Visionaire #60
It seems like Karl Lagerfeld is quite comfortable at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. Last week he showed Chanel's Cruise 2011/12 collection at the Cap d'Antibes and on Thursday, he will be showing a selection of his photographic works at the amfAR Gala. The selection was curated by Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld and the many fancy celebrities including Mick Jagger, Uma Thurman and Kanye West will be in attendance. I hope images from the Gala surface online – I'd love to see which of his photographs will be shown.

text: We often hear from our customers that our chocolates are too beautiful to eat. We couldn't disagree more. While we do agree that they are beautiful, our goal is to make them taste at least as good as they look. Chocolatier and pastry chef Robin Autorino refers to them as edible art - art for your eyes and your mouth. While we would never recommend tasting a Monet, Picasso, or Rembrandt, we do highly recommend our artisan chocolates and confections.

I have some very small values such as 2.601519253*10^-8. I'd like to output these values to CSV for another program to work with. I've tried N[value, 50], but Mathematica still insists on producing scientific notation (which my program can't read).
How can I force Mathematica to output values in decimal form?
AccountingForm seems to be the answer to my question. AccountingForm[2.601519253458693*10^-8, 30] gives a nice decimal format I can use. –

Many prominent physicists and mathematicians, born in Hungary, achieved their famous results abroad, but they remembered their school years, the students journal and student competition contributing to their career.
János (John G) Kemény was born in Budapest in 1926 and emigrated to the USA with his family in 1940. There he was a student of John von Neumann, and later an assistant of Albert Einstein's in Princeton. In Los Alamos he worked with computers under Richard Feynman. Convinced that computers are not only for specialists but for everyday people too, he created the BASIC language, now the most often used computer language in the world. For developing the time sharing system for networking computers, he was awarded the first Robinson Prize in 1991 by IBM. He became well-known for heading the presidential commission investigating the TMI nuclear power station accident in 1979. He was an honorary member of the Eötvös Society. In an interview he recalled:
Why are so many great mathematicians in Hungary? There are a few fields in which there are an inordinate number of Hungarians: mathematics, theoretical physics, Hollywood. I forgot who the producer in Hollywood was, with a big sign on his desk saying: 'Being a Hungarian is not enough; you must have talent.' I don't quite believe Gail Young's theory that the Hungarian language is so hard that only the brightest children manage to survive. Certainly, for mathematicians and theoretical physicists, the school system in Hungary was very good. - Let me give you an example. I went through seven and a half grades to school in Hungary. I had a mathematics teacher who would have been well qualified to teach at a good college. He just did an enormous amount to strengthen my interest in mathematics. I liked mathematics before that. But being interested and knowing something is very different. This teacher was better than any teacher I had in high school in the United States, really significantly better.
There was a mathematical contest for high school seniors in Hungary that was a very big thing. If you were talented, I am told, all through your last three years they would drill on practice tests. It was a great honour, not just for yourself, but for the school. - There is another interesting story about that teacher. When we left for the United States [in 1940], my whole class came out to the train to see me off, and my mathematics teacher did too. It was really nice. He said something that has stuck with me all the time. He said that he was terribly happy for me that I was leaving for the United States, because he was worried about the future of Hungary. On the other hand, he said, he had only one regret. He never had a winner in the mathematics competition. Look, for God's sake, I was four and a half years away from the exam, and he was already thinking that maybe I could make it to the top in the competition...
(John G. Kemeny, interviewed by Lynn A Steen in 1980. Mathematical People Profiles and Interviews, edited by D J Albers and G L Alexanderson, page 153. Fizikai Szemle 1993/5)

I am using /home/kent/.gvfs/share on server/path/to/container as the path. I have tried mounting with the default options, mounting as read-only, and mounting to a specific directory. I get the same error regardless.
If I copy the container to my local Ubuntu machine then I can mount it and access it without issue. On a Windows desktop, I can mount it over the network without issue.
How can I mount this container from Ubuntu over my network?

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Plot Summary
The book begins in St. Petersburg, Missouri, a small village on the banks of the Mississippi River in the mid-1800s. Tom, a mischievous boy, is hiding from his Aunt Polly while stealing jam from the pantry. When caught, he runs away and goes swimming instead of going to school.
The next day, Aunt Polly punishes him for playing hookey by making him whitewash their entire fence. Tom instead convinces the other boys in town that whitewashing is fun and gets them to do all the work for him. Aunt Polly lets him go and he goes to play with his friend Joe. The two boys have wild imaginations and a taste for getting into trouble. On his way home from playing, Tom sees a beautiful girl and falls in love with her.
That Sunday, the whole family must go to church. At Sunday school, Tom trades other boys for tickets that will earn him a free Bible. To actually earn the Bible, children must collect tickets by learning two thousand Bible verses. Tom's new love, Becky Thatcher, arrives at Sunday school with her father, a judge. Tom proudly claims his Bible in front of everyone, but cannot name the first two disciples when questioned by Judge Thatcher. At church, he entertains himself by playing with a pinch bug, which bites a dog and causes a huge disruption.
On his way to school on Monday, Tom runs into Huckleberry Finn, the son of the town drunk. Huck is homeless, can't read and lives a wild life. Tom is late for school, and for punishment is forced to sit next to Becky, which he is happy about. At lunch, Tom and Becky meet and Tom convinces her that they should get engaged and kiss. She does kiss him, but Tom lets it slip that he was already engaged to someone else, and she rejects him. Tom skips the rest of school and meets Joe in the woods to play Robin Hood.
At midnight, Tom and Huck sneak into the graveyard. Once there, they hear people coming and hide. Dr. Robinson arrives with Injun Joe, an evil criminal, and Muff Potter. They are stealing bodies from the grave. The men argue. Muff Potter is knocked out, and Injun Joe murders Dr. Robinson. Tom and Huck run away, fearing for their lives. When Muff Potter awakes, Injun Joe tells him that he, not Injun Joe, murdered the Doctor.
Tom and Huck, scared, swear never to tell anyone what they saw. However, Tom is bothered by the event and begins to have nightmares. Becky gets sick and he becomes very depressed. When Becky returns to school, she rejects him again and Tom decides to run away.
He convinces Joe and Huck that they should become pirates, and they steal a skiff and sail to Jackson's Island, down-river from St. Petersburg. There they play and talk about what they will do as pirates. They see people from the village searching the river for them, and realize that they townsfolk believe that they have drowned. They begin to get homesick, but Tom convinces them that they should stay on the island. That night, however, he sneaks back to St. Petersburg.
Tom intends on leaving Aunt Polly a note saying that they are alive and well. When he sneaks into his house, he hides and listens to Aunt Polly, Joe's mother, his brother Sid, and his cousin Mary crying and talking about funeral plans for the boys. Tom waits until Aunt Polly is asleep and sneaks back out, without leaving the note.
After Tom returns to the island, he tells Huck and Joe of a great plan he has devised. Huck teaches them how to smoke, although they get sick doing it. That night, there is a terrible storm, and the boys spend most of the night getting soaked and trying to find shelter. The day of the funeral, they act on Tom's plan: they return to the village and hide in the gallery of the church to watch their own funeral. In the middle of the funeral, they come out of hiding and the entire town is overjoyed.
Back at school, Tom and Becky are still fighting. Becky accidentally rips a page in the schoolmaster's book, but Tom, out of love, pretends he did it and takes the punishment for her. She is grateful and their fighting stops.
School ends with the boys playing a prank on the schoolmaster in front of the whole village. Becky leaves town for the summer, and Tom is sad and very bored. Tom gets the measles and is sick for two weeks. A revival comes to town and everyone, even Huck, gets very religious for a short time.
Soon enough, that ends, just in time for Muff Potter's trial to begin. Tom is still wracked with guilt about letting Muff Potter take the blame for Injun Joe's crime. He goes against his oath and confesses what he knows to the defense attorney. He testifies in court, and Muff Potter is freed, but not before Injun Joe escapes.
Tom and Huck go looking for buried treasure. Instead, they find Injun Joe again. While hiding from him, they discover that he is in possession of a large amount of treasure. They decide to spy on him and try to steal it. Becky returns to town, and all the children (except Huck) go on a picnic to McDougal's Cave. While exploring, Tom and Becky get lost and left behind.
The same night Tom and Becky get lost, Huck follows Injun Joe and another man to Widow Douglas's house. He overhears Injun Joe's plan to hurt the Widow Douglas, and runs to Mr. Jones, the Welshman, to get help. Mr. Jones and his sons chase Injun Joe off. The next day, Huck is exhausted and gets very sick. At church that morning, Aunt Polly realizes that Tom and Becky are missing, and the town begins to search the maze-like cave to find them.
Inside the cave, Tom and Becky realize they are lost and try to find a way out. At one point, Tom thinks he's found someone, but all he discovers is Injun Joe hiding out in the cave. After many days, just as they've given up hope, Tom sees light and leads Becky out. The townsfolk are overjoyed when they return. Judge Thatcher has the door to the cave sealed. When Tom finds out, he tells the judge that Injun Joe is inside, but they arrive too late, and Injun Joe has starved to death.
After Injun Joe's funeral, Tom realizes that the treasure is hidden in the cave. He and Huck go back and find the treasure. When they return, they are summoned to the Widow Douglas's house, where Mr. Jones tells everyone that Huck is the one who saved the Widow's life. The Widow, out of gratitude, announces that she will adopt Huck. Tom reveals that they have found Injun Joe's treasure. They are both rich.
Huck has a hard time living under Widow Douglas's roof and runs away. Tom convinces him to return and become a part of respectable society with the promise that they will start a dangerous gang of robbers. Huck agrees, and they go back to the village.

Denver Broncos media relations department wins Rozelle Award
The Broncos' media relations staff headed by Patrick Smyth and bolstered by Rebecca Villanueva and Erich Schubert was given the Pete Rozelle Award on Friday as voted on by the Pro Football Writers Association.
The honor is given to the NFL club public relations staff that consistently strives for excellence in its dealings and relationships with the media.
"With Peyton in Denver it sort of made it the epicenter of the NFL," said Sam Farmer, national NFL writer for the Los Angeles Times. "Is it too much to say Denver is one of the hot spots of the sports world? The Broncos' PR staff consistently comes through when it has to be besieged with requests."
Think of all the Broncos' media relations staff had to deal with in 2013:

(c) 2013, Bloomberg News.
AUGUSTA, Maine � Gov. Paul LePage now keeps a roll of duct tape on his desk as a reminder to himself.
"We all have faults. Mine is that I can't keep my mouth shut," LePage, 64, said Thursday here in his office. "I promised my staff: Now till Election Day, when I want to say something that is off-color, I'm going to tape my mouth shut."
New England's only Republican governor is coming off a rocky summer. He alluded to sodomy while criticizing a political opponent, joked about bombing the state's largest newspaper and on Aug. 19 was quoted online as saying the nation's first black president "hates white people."
A Republican in a state twice carried by Democratic President Obama, LePage is already one of the most vulnerable governors seeking re-election next year. The verbal miscues are creating fissures in his party, robbing him of the chance to sell his pro-business and tea party-backed agenda and underscoring a "go it alone" attitude that's alienating potential allies.
"I will put my actions against any candidate running for governor," LePage said. "I can get it done. They talk nice words. This state has been under 50 years of one-party rule. It is time they get a little shock to the system. Wake them up."
LePage can rattle off a list of accomplishments, mostly from his first two years in office, when Republicans controlled not only the governor's mansion but both chambers of the legislature for the first time since 1967. Maine traditionally elected Democratic or centrist Republican governors.
He reduced income taxes by the largest amount in state history, froze cost-of-living increases for three years and raised the retirement age for new state workers to revamp the pension plan. He also enacted a program to repay about $500 million in debt to hospitals, which has been a drag on the state's credit rating, by negotiating better terms on a state liquor contract.
"These were all historic pieces of legislation that are pushing the needle in the right direction," said Scott Moody, the chief executive officer of the Maine Heritage Policy Center, a Portland-based research organization that says it promotes "conservative public policies" and free enterprise.
One of the most tangible signs of his leadership is in downtown Portland, the state's largest city, where teachers this week were preparing for the first class of 135 freshman and sophomores at the Baxter Academy for Technology and Science. Maine's third charter school, it will boast a Mandarin-speaking instructor, a metalworking shop with computer-controlled machines, and math and science classrooms looking out on Casco Bay.
LePage also has cut the size of the state government, overhauled Maine's welfare program to push recipients off of the dole after five years and passed legislation � which hasn't been implemented � to require drug testing for welfare recipients with narcotics convictions.
Advocates for the needy say the changes cut benefits to 2,231 families, including 80 a month that will be pushed off welfare as they hit the five-year limit.
"It is unprecedented, the cuts to the safety net," said Robyn Merrill, a senior policy analyst with Maine Equal Justice Partners, an Augusta-based nonprofit. "Instead of a war on poverty, it feels like a war on poor people."
LePage answers critics by saying that some of his 17 siblings have been on welfare.
"We want to have some accountability," he said. "We want a system that, one, we can afford, two, it works and, three, that the most vulnerable are taken care of and are moving toward self-sufficiency."
In June, the governor vetoed a bill that would have expanded Medicaid to 50,000 adults without children and prevented about 25,000 from losing benefits starting in January.
LePage said he's open to revisiting a smaller expansion that requires the poor to contribute something toward their health costs when the legislature returns next year.
"If you are making $20,000 a year and you can use 1 percent of your income to pay for your health insurance, I think that is a deal," he said. "I'll take that deal all day long."
Selling the new agenda hasn't been easy.
Last week, on the same day that LePage sent every U.S. governor a carton of lobster to promote the industry, the Portland Press Herald quoted unidentified Republican lawmakers as saying that LePage, speaking at a fundraiser, told donors that Obama "hates white people."
In the interview, LePage referred to the comments as "alleged," though he didn't deny making them.
"It was not the way it was reported," he said.
He also sent a letter to members of his party: "My fellow Republicans, I write to you to apologize for any difficulty that remarks recently reported in the press may have caused you."
Other comments were caught on tape. In June, during a budget battle where Republicans joined forces with Democrats to override his spending plan, LePage singled out Democratic lawmaker Troy Jackson.
"Senator Jackson claims to be for the people, but he's the first one to give it to the people without providing Vaseline," LePage told a local television station. The governor walked away and then returned. "That comment is not politically correct, but we've got to understand who this man is," he said. "This man is a bad person. He doesn't only have no brains, he has a black heart."
The episode prompted Robert Katz, the assistant Republican leader in the state Senate, to write an apologetic essay in the Press Herald. "I am embarrassed," he said.
In the interview, LePage said he's a "poor politician but a good businessman."
His shoot-from-the-hip comments date to the campaign, when he told a group of fishermen: "As your governor, you're going to be seeing a lot of me on the front page saying, 'Governor LePage tells Obama to go to hell.' "
The governor was raised in Lewiston, Maine. He said his father beat him as a child, injuring him enough to require hospital treatment at one point, prompting him to leave home and live on the streets.
With the help of two families, he said, he found work and went to school. He graduated from Lewiston High School and Husson College in Bangor, Maine, then received a master's degree in business administration from the University of Maine.
He worked at a discount chain, Marden's Surplus & Salvage, where he rose to become general manager. In 2003, he was elected mayor of Waterville, home to Colby College.
In 2010, he beat six Republicans in a primary to become the party's nominee for the open seat for governor. LePage won by 2 percentage points, with 38 percent of the vote in a five-way race.
In LePage's statehouse office, there's a framed picture of Secretariat, the champion racehorse that swept the Triple Crown in 1973, with a message signed by former jockey Ron Turcotte.
"It says, 'You are the living Secretariat,' " LePage said. "I was totally unknown before I became governor."
Polls suggest his run may not last. LePage's party lost control of both chambers of the legislature in 2012. A survey of 953 voters by Public Policy Polling, conducted Aug. 23-25, showed Democratic challenger Mike Michaud, one of Maine's two members of Congress since 2003, beating LePage 39 percent to 35 percent.
Independent Eliot Cutler, who ran in 2010 and hasn't formally declared for next year, was backed by 18 percent. The poll had a margin for error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.
Perhaps more tellingly, this week Democrats narrowly won a special election for a swing senate seat after running radio advertisements that rehashed LePage's gaffes and making robocalls tying the candidate to the governor's opposition of Medicaid expansion.
After hearing the vote totals, losing Republican candidate Paula Benoit, 58, stood outside her election night party at an Irish pub in Bath and said that seniors were misled.
"Democrats said I would take away their Medicaid," she said. "Can you imagine that?"
Standing in the vestibule in the salty Maine air, she repeated the same phrase a few times.
"I'm a moderate Republican," she said. "I'm a moderate Republican."

When Dr. Naismith first nailed up the peach baskets, there probably was a wise guy standing around asking, "What's up, Doc?" Now that the game of college basketball, the one the good doctor invented, has swerved off what once was a flat road onto a field carved with paranormal crop circles, people are saying it again. Just what is up?
Well, at least I'm saying it. Not every game is played aboard an aircraft carrier, which never should be considered real because it's nothing but basketball exhibitionism.
But if you don't think men's college basketball in this country has gone haywire, you need look no further than San Diego State. The Aztecs scored nine (that's 9) points in a half at Wyoming and remained ranked. What? The pollsters probably thought that was impressive.
There may be 30 teams out there who can win an NCAA title. March Madness began on Halloween night.
The worst thing is being ranked No. 1. You get ranked No. 1 and you're losing real soon, especially if you venture out of your own gym. For six straight weeks there was a new No. 1. Last week, six Top 10 teams and 14 in the Top 25 went down at least once. According to STATS, from Jan. 17-Feb. 6, unranked teams beat Top 25 clubs 36 times.
This may be right and good. This could be terrific for college basketball. For certain, there are no great teams, but that doesn't mean what's happening makes sense. It's the craziest year I can remember, and I've been following the game since Oscar Robertson and Jerry West were still going to class.
"I still think it will come down to the traditional powers," says UCSD coach Chris Carlson, a hoops junkie who can speak as well about the college game as anyone in the country. "But the notion of traditional powers is slowly eroding. A whole lot of schools are investing money in basketball, in coaches and infrastructure."
According to Carlson, the big thing is that kids play ball all the time, AAU, whatever. They know one another. Coaches know one another. There are very few surprises anymore. The awe has left many buildings. Anyone wonder why Bill Walton can't believe it when he's broadcasting from a half-empty Pauley Pavilion?
"Parity, yes, that's some of it," Carlson says. "But the mystique is gone in a lot of places kids play and they play all over the country now. They can walk into Rupp Arena now and not be scared. Years ago, you walked into Pauley and you were down by 20 before it started.
"Butler beats Indiana. Illinois beats Indiana. These kids play April, May, June and July. The intimidation factor is gone. These kids grow up in hostile environments and aren't daunted by anything."
And there is no hiding anything from anyone anymore. Last Saturday, following the Aztecs' blowout of Fresno State, SDSU coach Steve Fisher praised top assistant Brian Dutcher, saying: "He gave us at least four first-half baskets. He knew exactly what they were going to run."
Good coaching, good scouting, paying attention to detail. If you're really accomplished now, you didn't get there by chance.
"Coaching has evolved, scouting has evolved," Carlson says. "Before, you had to stop people. Now it's so sophisticated that it's not how you stop them, but how you score on them. I'm not going to take anything away from Brian, but a lot of that goes on everywhere. Everybody knows what everybody's doing."
Just like everything else, some of them are better at it than others. But Fisher sees the craziness in this season.
"I think this is the business were in, but there is a touch more than what you would consider normal," Steve says. "Some of it is absolutely mind boggling, who beats who, the way they are beaten."
There's a lot more even-Steven to the college game, right Steve?
"That has a lot to do with it," he says. "There are more teams even now, for sure. Teams in the top 20 are playing teams nowhere near there, but they've got good players, and when they make their shots nobody knows what's going to happen."
The key now is winning away from home. The road has become a terribly difficult place. San Diego State may have The Show and Duke may have its Cameron Crazies, but they are not alone. There are 331 Division I men's basketball programs and many of them play in traps.
"The road is hard," Fisher says with a sigh. "It's everywhere; it's everywhere, no question."
And unlike college football, where greed has enveloped the game and the haves continue to have more than everybody else and nothing seems to change, college basketball continues to evolve.
And it's hard to say it isn't for the better.

It's not easy being on TV. Just ask Rachel McAdams.
For her role as Becky Fuller, a TV morning show producer in the new film "Morning Glory," the actress recently told Parade that she visited the actual TV shows.
"It's a tough job," she said. "If I mess up in a movie, I get another take. On live TV, you say it and it's out there forever. There aren't a lot of female executive producers. It's very uncommon, which says something about the hours and whatever it requires. I realized it's easier to be an actress than it is to be an executive producer on a morning show. You have a little bit more time to yourself and you don't have to get up at two in the morning day after day."
Although "Morning Glory" is a comedy, it required McAdams to be agile. "I didn't expect this to be an action part," she said in the interview, "but there was all this running up and down steps and dashing in hallways. Then there is running on the sidewalks of New York. I really got in shape. The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like."
The 31-year actress (whose other credits include "The Notebook" and "Mean Girls") got to work with Harrison Ford in the movie and revealed an anecdote about her co-star. "I will never have an Altoid again without thinking of him because he'd always have Altoids. He called them his acting pills, which I thought was so cute because he so clearly doesn't need acting pills. But every time he'd pop one, he'd say 'I need my acting pills'. He's very, very funny."
Up next for McAdams is a part in the Woody Allen film "Midnight in Paris," which also features Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard and Owen Wilson.
