ICPC-2 - International Classification for Primary Care
The International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC), developed by the ICPC Working Party, broke new ground in the world of classification when it was published in 1987 by WONCA, the World Organisation of National Colleges, Academies, and Academic Associations of General Practitioners/Family Physicians, now known more briefly as the World Organisation of Family Doctors (Wonca). For the first time health care providers could classify, using a single classification, three important elements of the health care encounter; reasons for encounter (RFE), diagnoses or problems, and process of care. Problem orientation of the medical record and linkage of encounters over time permits classification of the episode from the beginning with an RFE to its conclusion with a more defined problem, diagnosis, or disease.
The new classification departed from the traditional International Classification of Disease (ICD) chapter format in which the axes of its chapters vary, from body systems (Chapters III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XIII and XIV) to aetiology (Chapters I,II,XVII,XIX,XX) and to others (Chapters XV,XVI,XVIII,XXI). This mixture of axes creates confusion, since diagnostic entities can with equal logic be classified in more than one chapter, for example influenza in either the infections chapter or the respiratory chapter, or both. Instead of conforming to this format, the ICPC chapters are all based on body systems, following the principle that localisation has precedence over aetiology. The components that are part of each chapter permit considerable specificity for all three elements of the encounter, yet their symmetrical structure and frequently uniform numbering across all chapters facilitate usage even in manual recording systems. The rational and comprehensive structure of ICPC is a compel-ling reason to consider the classification a model for future international classifications.
Since publication ICPC has gradually received increasing world recognition as an appropriate classification for general/family practice and primary care, and has been used extensively in some parts of the world, notably in Europe and Australia.
While ICPC was originally designed for paper based data collection and analysis, since the advent of practice based electronic medical records its use has rapidly spread to electronic clinical and research systems.
The first version of ICPC published in 1987 is referred to as ICPC-1. The version in the 1993 publication "The International Classification of Primary Care in the European Community: With a Multi-Language Layer" is known as ICPC-E. The 1998 version 2 is referred to as ICPC-2. ICPC-2-E refers to a revised electronic version released in 2000. Subsequent revisions of ICPC-2 are also labelled with a release date. ICPC is used when referring to the generic classification.
For further information about the various aspects of ICPC-2, please select from menu items to the left.
The development of ICPC is managed by the Wonca International Classification Committee (WICC). More information about WICC activities can be found at the PH3C website.

Aaron Sorkin in the writers' room
On the gigantic and truly beautiful set of "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" on the Warner Bros. lot, creator-producer Aaron Sorkin today met with writers in the set's version of the writers' room. Sorkin was way too defensive.
Amid the carefully crafted prop mess of newspaper and antacids, Sorkin blasted bloggers' criticism of his series, offered too much explanation for the disappointing ratings, lashed out at negative stories in the Los Angeles Times in particular ("nonsense") and complained about the too-high expectations for his work. Besides, the sketches within the show aren't supposed to be funny, he said. They're just rehearsals.
The brilliant/stubborn writer didn't do himself or the series much good. He should have talked up the strong points: the production is a lavish, high-minded one that needs time to develop.
"Studio 60" returns to the air Monday for seven consecutive episodes. Expect an emphasis on romantic comedy–Matt and Harriet, Danny and Jordan (that's Matthew Perry and Sarah Paulson; Bradley Whitford and Amanda Peet).[photopress:sts_1002_027.jpg,thumb,pp_image]

Leading the Netflix movies was Marriage Story, which received six nominations.
We tend to identify with the leading character of a film, even if he is a heartless bastard. Few films illustrate this curiosity better than Nicholas Jarecki's "Arbitrage," and few actors might have been better at making it work than Richard Gere. Here is man involved in a multimillion-dollar fraud, who cheats on his wife, tries to cover up the death of his mistress and would throw his own daughter under a bus. Yet we are tense with suspense while watching him try to get away with it.
Gere has always been an actor good at suggesting secrets under the surface. Improbably handsome, he has aged here into the embodiment of a Wall Street lion, worth billions, charming, generous, honored and a fraud right down to his bones. He plays Robert Miller, whose face must have beamed reassuringly from the covers of many magazines.
As the story opens, he's involved in the merger of his venture capital empire and has hidden $400 million in debt not only from the investors but even from his daughter, Brooke (Brit Marling). She is the CFO of his empire. Young, smart, she doesn't suspect her father has cooked the books. If the deception is revealed, she'll be hung out to dry. We're left with memories of Bernie Madoff's associates and family members. Both Madoff and Miller, who in many ways is inspired by him, commanded trust, affection and respect from many who should have looked closer.
Robert Miller has another problem, a high-maintenance mistress named Julie Cote (Laetitia Casta), who has opened an art gallery. Miller is the kind of man who requires a prestigious lover even if she must remain a secret. His wife, Ellen (Susan Sarandon), knows he plays around and accepts that as one of the rules of the game. Classy and well-maintained, she's the kind of "corporate wife" who must have understood the Supreme Court decision that a corporation is a person.
Julie knows how to push Miller's buttons. Very late one night, he is driving her somewhere as a favor when he dozes off, the car crashes, and she is killed. He thinks to make a cell call (to 911 or his lawyer? we can wonder), thinks better, walks away from the crash in some pain and uses a pay phone to call Jimmy Grant (Nate Parker), the son of a former chauffeur for whom Miller did personal favors.
Grant comes to the rescue, making him a witness after the fact. Miller has internal pain but ignores it, somehow holds himself together, projects his usual sleek confidence and continues his juggling act with the business deal. But Michael Bryer (Tim Roth), a scruffy police detective, investigates the accident scene and realizes that something doesn't feel right. To Miller's surprise, he turns up to question him. Roth projects indifferent chatty curiosity that conceals menace.
We may have seen elements of this scenario before, but the young writer-director Nicholas Jarecki, making his first feature, proves himself a master craftsman with a core of moral indignation. He knows how to make a gripping thriller, so well-constructed I felt urgently involved. "Arbitrage" is an example of good writing and sound construction at the service of plausible characters. It tells a story rather than relying on third-act action. It is in a classic tradition.
Hitchcock called his most familiar subject "The Innocent Man Wrongly Accused." Jarecki pumps up the pressure here by giving us a Guilty Man Accurately Accused, and that's what makes the film so ingeniously involving.
We can't help identifying with the protagonist. It's coded in our moviegoing DNA. Yet we watch in horror as Miller is willing to betray anyone — Jimmy Grant, his daughter, his wife — to win at any price. This film, especially its ending, literally could not have been released under the old Production Code.
It represents a radical revision of traditional values. It is an attack on new American mentality that values wealth above morality. Many of us may regard Robert Miller as an example of financial executives who knowingly sell worthless investments to people who trust them and then bet against them themselves. This was one of the Wall Street crimes that brought about the 2008 collapse. Charges were never filed against those thieves. They're still at work.
"Arbitrage" is not only a great thriller, but a convincing demonstration about how the very rich can get away with murder.

AAA member, Devin Tepleski, was featured in TIME this spring for his photo essay of the displaced people by Bui Hydroelectric Dam in Ghana.
In an excerpt from the TIME article, Tepleski describes the challenges he had with the project:
Portraying something as emotionally distant as disenfranchisement, however, presented problems. "There was no action," says Tepleski. "There was in fact an absence that needed to be photographed—the silence of their voices and the removal of an environment that they were linked to for centuries." Tepleski hit upon using the sacred river—a spiritually significant place, dotted with shrines, and their main source of water—as surreal back drop for portraits of the villagers. "While I was living with the community, I came to see the river as a character in their lives," says Tepleski. "They had built a relationship with this place. And it was about to be broken. I wanted to remove the environment from the subjects, and the subjects from the environment."
Tepleski will return this summer to Ghana, through the non-profit Friends of Bui, to the new relocated destination of the displaced Bui community.

Las Vegas police identified a suspect today in a shooting on the strip that caused a Maserati to hit a taxi and burst into flames, killing three people.
Ammar Harris, 26, has been named a suspect in the Thursday skirmish that killed three people, including rapper Kenny Clutch.
The altercation between Harris and Clutch, 27, whose legal name was Kenneth Cherry Jr., is believed to have originated in the valet area of a Las Vegas hotel, police said.
Police said Harris fired several rounds into a Maserati that was being driven by Cherry as both vehicles continued northbound on glitzy Las Vegas Boulevard.
The rapper's expensive sports car careened out of control after he was shot, slamming into several cars, including a taxi. The impact caused the cab to burst into flames, killing the driver, Michael Boldon and a female passenger. Witnesses said it looked like the car exploded.
"He was a number one guy," Carolyn Jean Trimble, Boldon's sister, told ABC News.

"I looked out my window and I could see one vehicle down here on the corner of the intersection totally engulfed in flames," witness John Lamb told ABC News.
Boldon, 62, and his passenger, who has not yet been identified, were both killed, as was Clutch.
Timble said her brother loved driving his taxi around Vegas.
"He came to live with me in Las Vegas last year to help take care of our mother, and the first day he got here he said, 'I have to get a job.' The second day, I came home from work, and he said he got a job," she recalled.
"He says, 'You'll never guess what it is,' and I said, 'what,' and he said, 'taxi cab driver,' and we both fell out laughing," Trimble said. "He loved that job. He never complained. He'd come home and tell me stories about what happened, who he picked up."
Boldon was a single father who raised a 36-year-old son and was a new grandfather. His grandson was named after him, Trimble said.
"Of all the people to take from this earth," she said. "But I guess the Lord needed him."
A passenger in the Maserati was hit and sustained only a minor injury to his arm. Clutch died at University Medical Center.
His father, Kenneth Cherry Sr., expressed his grief for the loss of his son while speaking with ABC News.
"This is something you never really, really ever want to experience as a parent, to lose a child before you go," he said.
Harris is described as 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Las Vegas Metro Police Department's homicide division.

The West Coast will see an ocean several inches higher in coming decades, with most of California expected to get sea levels a half foot higher by 2030, according a report released Friday.
The study by the National Research Council gives planners their best look yet at how melting ice sheets and warming oceans associated with climate change will raise sea levels along the country's Pacific coast. It is generally consistent with earlier global projections, but takes a closer look at California, Oregon and Washington.
Although the six inches expected for California by 2030 seem minor, the report estimated that sea levels there will be an average of three feet higher by 2100. About 72 percent of the state's coast is covered by sandy cliffs, and the rest include beaches, sand dunes, bays and estuaries.
Seaside cliffs will be cut back about 30 yards over the next 100 years, and sand dunes will be driven back even more, said Robert A. Dalrymple, a professor of civil engineering at Johns Hopkins University and chairman of the group that wrote the report. Coastal wetlands will be able to keep pace for about 50 years, but will eventually be overwhelmed without new sources of sand, and room to move inland.
The report noted that dams hold back about a third of that sand, which once washed into the sea from the Klamath River in Northern California.
Northern California, Oregon and Washington can expect a less dramatic increase — about four inches by 2030 and two feet by 2100 — because seismic activity is causing land to rise north of the San Andreas Fault, offsetting increasing sea levels, and drop south of it. The fault runs out to sea at Cape Mendocino.
Oregon has the advantage of tough basalt formations on much of the coast, but long stretches of Washington are low-lying sandy beaches.
"Anything close to the seas is vulnerable," Dalrymple said.
The most immediate threat over the next few decades will come from periodic ocean-warming El Nino events, said Gary Griggs, director of the Institute for Marine Sciences at the University of California at Santa Cruz, who was one of the scientists assembled by the council to produce the report.
"During those events, sea level is elevated as much as a foot above normal and then we've got typically larger waves coming in with the high tides," particularly in the Northwest, he said.
The report noted that some computer models suggest storms will be stronger as global warming progresses. But Dalrymple said there was no clear consensus in scientific literature, and data from ocean buoys showing waves getting bigger in the Northwest don't go back far enough to conclude that trend will continue.
If a major earthquake occurs beneath the Pacific Ocean off Oregon and Washington, in what is known as the Cascadia subduction zone, that would cause the land to drop, allowing sea level to rise another three to six feet immediately, the report said. Such a major temblor occurred 300 years ago, but becomes more likely as time passes.
The report was commissioned by states and federal agencies looking for detailed information so they can plan for an accelerated rate of erosion along beaches, bluffs and sand dunes that are already crumbling into the sea. It projected that sea level will rise a little lower in 2100 than the projections currently used by California officials.
"A lot of the data we had before was worldwide data or has the caveat, `Can't be used for planning purposes,'" said Susan Hansch, chief deputy director of the California Coastal Commission. "It all comes down to the better data you have, the better decisions you can make."
Sea levels rise for two reasons due to global warming.
Warmer water expands, which can cause as many as 23 inches of sea level to rise by 2100, according to the Nobel Prize winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Warmer temperatures also cause ice sheets in Greenland and west Antarctica to melt slowly, adding another foot or more to sea levels by 2100, scientists said.
Those estimates, however, were for the planet as a whole. Some places will see higher seas, while others will get less dramatic increases.
Globally, sea levels have risen about eight inches over the last century, but the rate has been increasing significantly, said Griggs.
The report summarized published projections and updated it with an analysis of tidal gauge readings and satellite measurements along specific sites on the West Coast.
California Ocean Levels to Rise 6 Inches: Report
By 2030 California's coast line could look very different.
The West Coast will see an ocean several inches higher in coming decades, with most of California expected to get sea levels a half foot higher by 2030, according a report released Friday.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- A coalition of major labor unions, progressive political groups and good-government advocates is trying to push New York's Legislature to adopt public financing of campaigns. The effort, aimed at a likely special session after the elections, would be used as a national model.
The groups have joined with the influential Working Families Party to meet Thursday in Manhattan to force a trade-off for public financing of campaigns in exchange for pay raises sought by legislators. National leaders of the Communications Workers of America, the Sierra Club and the NAACP are scheduled to attend to help plot a way to make New York a national model to expand public financing of campaigns.
"This has gotten more movement than anyone thought it could, but it's still about the heaviest lift in politics," said Dan Cantor, executive director of the left-leaning Working Families Party that works closely with Democrats.
So-called super political action committees with few restraints on spending for or against policies or candidates are emboldened by a 2010 Supreme Court decision. The Citizens United case stripped many restrictions on campaign spending and allowed wealthy individuals and corporations a louder voice for and against candidates they choose.
Public financing of campaigns remains one of the biggest campaign promises of Gov. Andrew Cuomo that remains unfulfilled.
He and lawmakers have said a post-election session is possible in November or December and legislative pay raises could be on the agenda. That would be a leverage point for a trade for other major issues, including the voluntary public financing of campaigns and raising the minimum wage, which is another Cuomo goal. The Senate's GOP lawmakers, however, say raises aren't a priority for them and oppose using public money for campaigns. They seek a jobs program with tax breaks for businesses.
Cuomo has repeatedly said public pressure is needed to push lawmakers to restrict a system which has helped keep them in power. Public financing of campaigns and raising the minimum wage also track national Democratic politics, should Cuomo seek to run for president in 2016.
"I think what's important is we get the support groups to come up with a common agenda and then we push," Cuomo said in July.
In June, The New York Times reported the creation of Protect Our Democracy, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group and political action committee with wealthy donors who seek public financing of campaigns in coordination with Cuomo. Cuomo also coordinates with Albany's biggest lobbying group, the Committee to Save New York, formed to support the Democrat's policies through multi-million dollar TV ad campaigns.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has pushed the bill as a way to reduce the influence of money in government.
"Fair elections go to the heart of our democracy and are essential to preserving good government," Silver said Wednesday. "In light of the devastating effects the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision has had on federal elections, we in New York should be leading the way in reducing the influence of money in our own elections. Let us be the model for the rest of the nation and lead the way to establishing and preserving fair elections."
Silver's bill would create an option for statewide and legislative candidates to choose public financing, with restrictions on fundraising and the use of campaign funds.
"We oppose using taxpayer dollars to fund political campaigns," said Scott Reif, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, a Nassau County Republican. "Those funds should be invested in schools and road and bridge repair. We have limited resources."

Neches River Fest events lead up to coronation, ball
A royal good time … Once again, our fair city kicks off spring with magnificent Neches River Festival events. Beginning with the unmasking of King Neches LXIII at the Collier Ferry Dock on April 5, guests were thrilled when social chairs Melanie Heartfield and Tracy Bean revealed NRF King Thad Heartfield. Observing the presentation were Cornie Heartfield, Knights of the Neches and princes and princesses of the royal court. On Thursday morning in the presence of his family and friends, NRF President Roy Steinhagen and King Heartfield proclaimed Joe Tortorice Jr. as NRF Citizen of the Year. As wife Shelley Tortorice and many officials of the NRF applauded this well-deserved bestowment, the honoree thanked his family for all of the love and support throughout his life. Last Friday evening, the knights, king, president, social chairmen and their spouses donned white dinner jackets, caps, orders and capes to celebrate another sensational Neches River Festival. This weekend, the future leaders of this town will experience the judging process and rehearse for the coronation and ball, leading to the culmination of this social event that makes us so proud of the many high school seniors who participate as the NRF celebrates our community, youth and the importance of the Neches River.
Kickin' it up for a cure … The Best Little Party in Southeast Texas will be held Saturday, April 16 when the American Cancer Society hosts The Cattle Barons' Ball for the purpose of fighting cancer. All of the boot scootin' fun will take place at the Philpott Hangar at Jack Brooks Regional Airport. Mike Simpson and Pat Anderson will chair this worthwhile fundraiser, with Tara and Charlie Holder serving as co-chairs. Honorary chairs of the event Nancy and Larry Beaulieu are thrilled to be part of this fundraiser. This year's entertainment will feature musical guru Darryl Worley. American Cancer Society director Jacki Burleson anticipates a packed house with generous guests bidding on the terrific auction items. Tariff for this party will be $125 for general admission and $150 for reserve seating; for more information, call (409) 835-2139.
Do you remember ... Christus Heath Foundation – Southeast Texas St. Elizabeth Gala was a smashing success with Cindy and Jamie Dishman at the helm. More than 100 elaborate tables were decorated by It's All in the Presentation, with a clever theme evoking the entertainers for the evening. Fashion forward socials quaffed cocktails and mingled before sitting down to a sumptuous meal. Valero, represented by Greg Gentry, was recognized for its support of renovations at the Pediatric Unit at Christus Hospital – St. Mary. Soon afterward, guests were on the edge of their seats and dancing by their tables to the incredible sounds of Earth, Wind and Fire. Thrilled with the meaningful soiree were Ivy Pate, Ann and Jim Dishman, Annie Dishman, Russ and Elizabeth Waddill, David and Ellen Reynard, Karen and Paul McCormick, Susanne and Robert Birdwell, Heather and Mark Petkovsek, Jean and Dennis Moncla, Crissy and Todd Clarke and many more.
News of I do's … A select group of Beaumonters made the trek to Austin for the nuptials of Betsy Chase and Parker Amis. Family and friends gathered at the picturesque Green Pastures to gaze upon the precious couple as they exchanged their wedding vows. Sister of the bride Lexie Boudreaux attended the bride as the matron of honor, and father of the groom Mike Amis served as the groom's best man. Margi and Rocky Chase gave their daughter in marriage as mother of the groom Frances Amis beamed proudly. Grandmother of the bride Ann Wallace was escorted down the aisle by son John Wallace. Toasting the happy twosome were family members Aaron Boudreaux; Anne and Don Dierks; Beth and Mark Dierks; Carolyn and Chris Dierks; Betsy, Lizzy, Emily and Kat Bakhaus; Francie, Tommy, Annie, Caroline and Will Chambers; Jay, Rhonda and Kate Amis; and Lacy, David, Jessie, Brennan, Mary Fran and Meredith Bassinger. Dancing to the soulful sounds of The Collaboration were Karen (with fab new short haircut) and Kevin Henry, Vivian and Jerry Todd, Cathy and John Hawa, Sarah and Katherine Wallace (along with parents Anna and John), Paige and Morris Windham, Carol and Jack Koshkin, Katie Lowe, Scott Ivers, John Wells, Will Goodson, Christy and Sterrett Bell, Marilyn and Tom Bell, Kathleen Koehler, Stephanie French, Mia, Maria and Brent Vickers, Michael Harmon, and Taylor Russell. Enjoying the gourmet dinner were Kay and Alan Nichols, Jessica Laird and Gerald Farha, Michelle Allan with all grown-up offspring Rachel and Grant Christopher, Anne and Boyd Wells, Janis Lowe, Pride and Richard Parr, Maida and Danny Ducote, and Meredith and Bert Reiner (who are expecting twins). The highlight of the evening was LoLo Bell serenading the newlyweds accompanied by father of the bride Rocky Chase playing guitar. A magical evening was had by all!
Candles and cakes … Birthday wishes to Leah Williams, Dynasy Phelan, Cinnie Norvell, Glen Morgan, Ben Mazzola, Nancy Neild, Chris Bean, Dorothy Anne Conn, Rodney Ames, Allison Getz Brandon Gaitan and Belinda Hickman.

Story highlights
- Humaiya Akhter is a 16-year-old advocate for girl's education and child rights in Bangladesh
- Humaiya campaigns against child marriage and is active with World Vision
- She says one of the biggest reasons for early marriage is lack of education
- CNN Films will release "Girl Rising," focusing on improving the lives of girls around the world
At the time when girls should be deciding on where to go to university, most girls in my country are deciding on a wedding dress. I am 16-years-old and where I come from in Bangladesh, many girls my age grow quickly from children to adults because they are forced into marriage.
I could have been one of those girls, but I'm one of the few girls in my country who is blessed to have support from my parents and community to live the life of a joyful teenage girl. Every girl should have the right to that life, but there are millions of girls in my country who are not so fortunate and are subjected to child marriage.
It makes me sad to think about the fate of these girls, and that is why I am here at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, to share my experience with global leaders and give other girls a chance to change the world with me.
According to the UN, any person under the age of 18 is a child. I am still a child, and children like me need love, care and protection. Every child dreams of a brighter future and a better world, but the question is, why does this dream become a nightmare in the lives of so many girls? As a girl, I must ask these questions to the world's leaders.
The law in Bangladesh says no girl should get married before 18 years of age and no boy before 21 years of age. But yet, Bangladesh has the highest rate of child marriage among the south Asian countries. It is estimated that two-thirds of Bangladeshi girls are married before the age of 18.
In my village, I witnessed lots of wedding parties for underage brides. For the past three years I have lost at least two friends to early marriages at an age where I didn't even know what marriage was. Now those girls have their own children. I don't want to lose any more friends.
In my childhood I used to play with dolls. Sometimes I arranged marriages for the dolls. That is how parents treat their daughters — like dolls who have no voice.
There are many reasons why early marriage is so prevalent in Bangladesh, but one of the biggest reasons is lack of quality education. There are 64,000 villages in our country, and most of the people living in villages have no access to education. They have no idea about the likely consequences of child marriage, and so it's a cycle that continues. Education helps create opportunities for girls to contribute to family income. If a girl can feed her family, it will help parents rethink the idea that their daughters are a burden.
Girls who become brides stay uneducated because they must become mothers, caretakers and homemakers, further driving the cycle of poverty and powerlessness. Early marriage has contributed to every problem prevailing in my country, directly or indirectly. It increases child death and maternal death, increases divorce and broken families, increases population and decreases female education and empowerment. If we stop this problem, other problems in our country will be reduced automatically.
How can we put a stop to this injustice? Building awareness through films like "Girl Rising" that pressure governments to implement laws against child marriage and educating communities like World Vision does in Bangladesh. I am a part of World Vision's child forum and just this year we have used our voices to stop three child marriages in our community. Those girls are still in school.
I myself was saved because my own community was made aware of the negative consequences of early marriage and the importance to giving me an education.
Both my mother and grandmother were considered burdens in their families. My grandmother got married when she was 9 and my mother got married when she was 16. But at 16 I will not be getting married any time soon, because that cycle has stopped with me. I am not a burden to get rid of. I am a blessing, and I have dreams that I will and can achieve. My hope is that my friends in Bangladesh and girls around the world will get to chase their dreams, too.

iPad 3 Rumor Roundup: Retina Display, New Chips, 4G, and More
Among the many iPad rumors that have made the rounds in recent months was the suggestion that Apple would unveil its next iPad on Steve Jobs's birthday, which happens to be today. As a result, we can cross that off our list, but like every iProduct release cycle, other rumors abound.
From retina displays and new chipsets to smaller iPads and better cameras, nothing is off limits when it comes to speculation about the next iPad. PCMag Editor-in-Chief Dan Costa has already weighed in with a list of things he doesn't need in the new iPad, but let's take a look at some of our options.
First up, when is this thing actually coming? We can likely put to rest last year's rumors about a February announcement. Apple usually holds its launch events on a Tuesday or Wednesday, which is cutting it a bit close for Feb. 28 or 29. Much of the mobile tech press, meanwhile, will be in Barcelona next week for Mobile World Congress.
A more likely scenario is the rumored March 7 press event, with a public launch on March 9 or a subsequent Friday. That's in line with an earlier report from All Things D, which has received accurate information about Apple events in the past.
So, assuming we're going to hear about Apple's next "magical" and "revolutionary" tablet on or around March 7, what will Apple be showing off onstage?
One of the most recent rumors touched on the tablet's chipset. As reported by MacRumors, the forum for Chinese website WeiPhone included a post with a photo of the next-gen iPad's logic board. The system-on-a-chip was labeled "A5X" and appeared to have been produced in November 2011.
A much-requested feature, meanwhile, is a boost for the iPad's screen to the Retina Display on the iPhone 4 and 4S. MacRumors also recently reported that the new iPad has twice the pixels as the displays for the original iPad and iPad 2. IFixit's Kyle Wiens, meanwhile, said the next iPad might not fit the technical definition of Retina Display, but would come close.
That retina display might be easier to accomplish if Apple adopted a smaller form factor. Jobs was not exactly a fan of 7-inch tablets, but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from predicting a second, 8-inch iPad.
How about a speed boost? The Wall Street Journal, which reported on the 8-inch iPad, also said the new iPads might support 4G. Thus far, Apple's iOS devices have remained on 3G. For the iPhone, that was reportedly an aesthetic choice; 4G radios would bulk up the smartphone and Apple didn't want to alter its design. Engineers have a bit more room to work with when it comes to the iPad, however, so stay tuned.
That extra space, however, might be eaten up by a better camera. Asian parts reseller iLab Factory said earlier this month that iPad 3 components suggest a slightly thicker tablet to make room for the souped-up camera found in iPhone 4S. IFixit's Wiens also predicted an improved camera.
On the app front, meanwhile, The Daily said that Microsoft was prepping a version of Office for the iPad. Microsoft initially said the story was "inaccurate" but later switched to saying "no comment," so it's anyone's guess.
Regardless of what's in the device, it seems that people are eager to snap them up. Forty-eight percent of respondents to a recent online survey said they will buy an iPad 3, even those with the Amazon Kindle Fire.

Structures anatomiques
This module of the vet-Anatomy veterinary atlas concerns the abdomen and pelvis of the dog in CT.
CT images are from a healthy 6-year-old castrated male dog.
In this module of the animal atlas vet-Anatomy is displayed the cross-sectional labeled anatomy of the canine abdominal cavity and the pelvis on a Computed Tomography (CT) and on 3D images of the abdomen of the dog.
CT images are available in 3 different planes (transverse, sagittal and dorsal) with two kinds of contrast (soft tissues/vessels and bones). Additional 3D anatomical images are available on the end of module, for a better understanding of gross anatomy of the dog, displaying 3D volume rendering of bones, splanchnology (liver, spleen, pancreas, digestive tract), urogenital system, arteries, systemic venous system (mainly caudal vena cava and its branches), portal venous system, muscles, and surface anatomy.
834 anatomical parts have been labelled, available in different sections (filters):
This computed tomography with injection of iodinated contrast agent was performed on a healthy 6-year-old castrated male dog (Labrador Retriever) by Dr. Susanne AEB Boroffka, dipl. ECVDI, PhD (Utrecht, Netherland).
3D Volume Rendering images were created from the same CT dicom data by the Dr. Antoine Micheau, on a GE ADW.
Images displaying, anatomical labelling and anatomical definitions were created by Dr. Antoine Micheau, Radiologist (Montpellier, France) and Dr. Denis Hoa, Radiologist (Montpellier, France).
Terms are labelled using the Latin terms defined in the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (Sixth edition - 2018 by ICVGAN). They were translated from latin to english and french by Antoine Micheau - MD, Imaios.
Anatomical notes form the authors :
In dogs the segmentation of the liver is described with four lobes and four sublobes as well as two processes, based on anatomical consideration. This is the nomenclature used on the NAV.
For some authors, the use of a vascular anatomy of canine hepatic venous system based on the analogies between Couinaud's segmentation of the human liver and the vascular anatomy of canine liver, could be less confounding and, therefore, more useful for the surgical (and also radiological) approach to this organ.
In vet-Anatomy, we used the publication of L. Mari and F. Acocella to provide an hepatic segmentation of the dog: the canine liver lobes and human liver segments appear comparable so we use the terminology adapted from the human terminologia anatomica :
|Conventional nomenclature in the NAV
|Proposed segment numbering
|Proposed nomenclature
|Equivalent segment in human
|Left lateral
|Lobus hepatis sinister lateralis
IIa (dorsal)
IIb (ventral)
|Segment II – Left lateral hepatic lobe
Left posterior lateral segment; Segment II
|Left medial
|Lobus hepatis sinister medialis
|Segment III – Left medial hepatic lobe
Left anterior lateral segment; Segment III
|Lobus quadratus
|Segment IV – Quadrate lobe
Left medial segment; Segment IV
|Right medial
|Lobus hepatis dexter medialis
|Segment V – Right medial hepatic lobe
|Anterior medial segment; Segment V
|Papillary process of caudate lobe
|Processus papillaris
|Segment I – Papillary process
Posterior segment; Caudate lobe; Segment I
|Right lateral
|Lobus hepatis dexter lateralis
VIa (dorsal)
VIb (ventral)
|Segment VI – Right lateral hepatic lobe
Anterior lateral segment; Segment VI
|Caudate process of caudate lobe
Processus caudatus
|Segment VII – Caudate process
Posterior lateral segment; Segment VII
No segment VIII in dog
Posterior medial segment; Segment VIII
Notes for the hepatic segmentation :
Chien (15)
Cheval (1)
Taureau et vache (1)
Souris (1)

First the deep throat, then the deep fuck.
An all-natural starlet like Bonnie Day deserves something nice for coming on down to hang out with us. What have we got in mind? How about the most hardcore fucking of her life, courtesy of strict bondage and 10 inches of big, black, cock? If she wasn't interested by the sound of it she certainly was when she saw our equipment. She submitted in seconds to the bondage and her pussy was open for business just as fast. We're going to fill her up nicely and leave her spent and sputtering. ...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – With this weekend's home opener against D.C. United looming, the New England Revolution is set to receive a boost from the expected returns of Kevin Alston and Didier Domi.
Alston (L hamstring strain) and Domi (R knee swelling) both missed last Sunday's season-opening 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy through injury, but the duo returned to full training this week and head coach Steve Nicol is confident they'll be ready for Saturday's tilt with D.C.
"They joined in fully again [Thursday] morning and there have been no adverse effects," he said. "They'll be available for selection (this weekend)."
It marks the culmination of an extensive recovery for Alston, who strained his hamstring just 10 minutes into the Revolution's first preseason game against the University of Central Florida on Feb. 18. After beginning his rehab slowly with a progressive increase in jogging and agility drills, Alston participated fully in training for the first time on Wednesday.
While Alston must still be vigilant with his oft-injured hamstring, he's responded well to the initial workouts.
"I've felt alright," he said. "I've been running for a couple weeks so I think (now) it's just getting back up to speed, but it's felt good. I still think I have a ways to go, but I'm working on it.
"I think it's positive on multiple fronts," Alston said of his potential return. "I think it helps boost confidence as I try to get comfortable with playing again and I think this could give me an opportunity. I don't know what the coach's decision will be, but I'll be available and we'll see how it goes."
Meanwhile, Domi's MLS debut has been delayed by swelling in his right knee, a persistent issue which prompted the Revs to send the veteran defender home from the club's preseason trip to Georgia for further treatment. With the swelling now in check, Domi is looking forward to debuting at Gillette Stadium in front of the home fans.
"I was feeling nothing (in the knee) when I was playing, it was just swelling a bit," said Domi. "It's still a bit (swollen), but it doesn't hurt, so we keep going … I'm feeling good now.
"[My debut] could be at home now, which would be even better," he added. "Hopefully, we can get a win."
While Alston and Domi will be available this weekend, central midfielder Ousmane Dabo could have to wait one more week before making his debut. The 34-year-old Frenchman strained his right quad during his second day of training with the Revs on March 1 and has been working feverishly to recover ever since.
Dabo's efforts have paid dividends as he joined his teammates for much of Thursday's training session, but the club is still being cautious and he hasn't yet participated in a full workout.
"He's being careful," said Nicol. "Obviously when you [injure] your thigh muscle like that you're kind of wary, because if you do it again, then it's an even longer process. We're being careful with it, but obviously we'd like to have him available."
According to Chris Tierney – who filled in for Domi at left back in the season opener against the Galaxy – a fully healthy squad will be vital as the Revs aim for consistency from week to week.
"This will be the first weekend with Kevin and Didier back and I think Dabo's on his way back to fitness, as well," he said. "The more guys we can get back, the deeper our squad will become and the better we'll be. It's a good thing."
