In the first year of Harry Frazee's ownership of the club, the Red Sox missed out on the World Series for the first time since 1914. With World War I engulfing Europe, Fenway Park hosted a public drill and march by the Shepard Norwell Women's Military Company and war memorial mass over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Record: 90-62, 2nd in American League
Manager: John J. Barry
Attendance: 387,856
Coming off back-to-back titles, the 1917 Red Sox won 90 games (just one less victory than the previous season) but finished in second place, a full nine games behind the White Sox.
Harry Frazee purchased the team in late 1916, with the sale reportedly contingent on Bill Carrigan's return as manager. However, Frazee's visit to Carrigan in Maine just before the New Year proved fruitless and on January 4, Frazee accepted the situation and named Jack Barry as the new player/manager.
With World War I underway, ballplayers were told that those who enlisted in the military would have their positions held open for them. Frazee nonetheless cut some salaries even below the depressed 1916 levels. Players from both teams frequently marched on the field before games in military drills.
The Red Sox leader on offense was Duffy Lewis, who hit .302. Babe Ruth and Carl Mays led the pitching staff with 24 and 22 wins, respectively. The team started 12-4 and sat in first place as late as July 31.
Though the Red Sox didn't reach the postseason, there were a number of memorable occurrences during the 1917 season. In early June, Fenway announcer Red Armstrong gave way to Stonewall Jackson, who would hold the position for many years. On June 16, a near-riot occurred due to a combination of rain and the suspected involvement of gamblers who were displeased that Chicago was beating the Red Sox. Somehow, 500 spectators ended up on the field and wouldn't leave but the game eventually resumed.
One week later, Babe Ruth and Ernie Shore combined for one of the most bizarre no-hitters in history. Ruth was ejected after he walked the first batter and vociferously objected to the call but Shore came in and retired every one of the batters he faced. Later in the season, plainclothes policemen arrested five gamblers in Fenway's right-field bleachers during an August game, as part of a crackdown ordered by American League President Ban Johnson.
At the end of the season, the Red Sox and Senators played a benefit game with proceeds going to the 101st Regiment Fund. Two days after the final game of the World Series, five members of the Red Sox were called to duty by the United States Navy, including Jack Barry and Duffy Lewis.
In the midst of the 1917 Red Sox season, four other baseball games were played at Fenway Park, including the third Fenway match-up between Noble & Greenough and the Volkmann School.

A pair of non-athletic events highlighted Fenway Park's earliest months of 1917. On March 19, the Shepard Norwell Women's Military Company, a 125-member group that served as a first aid organization auxiliary to the hospital corps, held their first public drill and marched around the park with Springfield rifles. Later in the month, another Spanish-American War mass was held at the park (there had also been a service held in 1915). In the Fall, Boston College played a pair of football games at Fenway Park, and six high school football games also took place there.

I recently answered a question about co-signing a lease ("Should I Co-Sign My College Freshman Son's Lease?"). In that article, I said that co-signing a lease, or anything else, is typically a terrible idea. Perhaps it was that advice that prompted this recent question:
Dear Stacy,
I had to co-sign my daughter's college loans. She is current with her payments, always has been, and there is no problem. I have recently retired and would like to know if there is a way to get my name off of these loans? Thank you. – Andrea
Here's your answer, Andrea!
Getting away from co-signed debt
If a lender requires a co-signer, it's generally because the borrower's credit isn't good enough to support the loan. It might seem logical that if the borrower's credit improves during the life of the loan, or the borrower has proven trustworthy, the lender should agree to release the co-signer and look only to the borrower for repayment.
Unfortunately, however, that's not typically the way it works.
The lender has everything to lose and nothing to gain by releasing the co-signer from a loan. After all, even if Andrea's daughter now makes tons of money on her own and has a perfect credit score, there's no guarantee she'll remain that way. What if she becomes sick and can't work? What if she dies?
The more people responsible for a debt, the less the risk to the lender. And if there's one thing a lender loves, it's less risk.
Fact is, once a lender has two potential sources of repayment on the hook, there's little chance it will let either off. This is one reason why co-signing is a bad idea. It's often permanent.
But there is one possibility
You'll note that the last sentence above said co-signing is "often" permanent. That's because there are some loans that will allow a co-signer to get off the hook, providing the borrower meets certain prearranged requirements, such as making on-time payments for a consecutive number of months or years.
Andrea should call and ask the lender if her daughter's loan contains such provisions or, better yet, sift through the loan documents herself. She should look for the words "co-signer release." If she finds them, she should see what the requirements are and if they've been met. If they have, she should contact the lender and get the ball rolling.
Even if the loan documents don't offer a co-signer release, there's no law against calling the lender and asking if they'll consider it. The odds aren't good, especially with giant, less flexible lenders. But low odds are better than zero, and that's what the odds will be if you don't try.
Same story with joint account holders
Many of the same rules that apply to co-signers also apply to joint account holders.
Say you combine your finances with the love of your life. You apply for a couple of credit cards together, or maybe combine your credit histories to qualify for a nice, fat mortgage.
Fast-forward a few years: Now you can't stand the sight of each other. You each take a credit card, and your former love stays in the house, agreeing to faithfully pay the mortgage. Maybe you even have a divorce decree or other written document stating in black and white that the mortgage is now the responsibility of the person occupying the house.
Think any of this lets either party off the hook? Think again.
Lenders don't care who's using which credit card, or who's living in the house. They don't care about agreements they're not a party to, written or otherwise, saying who's going to pay what. If you applied for a credit card or mortgage jointly, they can sue either or both of you to recover any losses. And absent a written agreement with them, that's exactly what they'll do.
Fair? If you're the borrower, maybe you think not. But if you're the lender, it's perfectly fair. After all, when the cards and mortgage were applied for, both parties agreed to be responsible for the entire debt. It's not your fault the co-borrowers now hate each other.
What can co-signers or joint account holders do?
In a word, refinance.
When you get divorced, the spouse keeping the house should pay off the existing joint mortgage by taking out a new one in his or her name alone. If that person doesn't have the borrowing capacity, the only choice is to sell the house, pay off the loan and split the proceeds.
The same with credit cards: If you have plastic in joint names, the accounts should be closed and new, separate credit card accounts opened based on the credit of each individual.
It's also true with co-signed loans. If Andrea's daughter's loans don't allow for the release of the co-signer, the only way to eliminate Andrea's liability is for her daughter to either pay off the loans or take out new loans in her own name to replace them. This can often be accomplished with a consolidation loan.
If Andrea's daughter can't refinance the debt with a consolidation or other loan, and there are no provisions to release the co-signer, then her mom will simply have to remain as a co-signer. And like all co-signers, Andrea needs to protect her good credit by setting up a system to make sure her daughter is making timely payments.

Apple's iPhone 4 had a design glitch when it was launched in June 2010: when held a certain way, users' reception suffered, sometimes not making calls at all.
So, then-CEO Steve Jobs offered consumers rubber "bumper" cases to alleviate the problem. But the problem continues. So now-CEO Tim Cook has to deal with the issue again, according to the San Jose Business Journal.
Apple is offering users -- up to 21 million of them -- either $15 or a free rubber case. The previous iteration of the problem was dubbed "antenna gate" and prompted class-action lawsuits -- one of which led to the company's present policy.
U.S. & World
As part of the settlement Apple is supposed to not only email customers about the offer, but also to set up a website: iPhone4Settlement.com. Users have 120 days to request either their $15 or their bumper case.

Bird control is important. When birds roost in large numbers they can become a serious health risk and cause structural damage. They typically nest in areas that are close to people and provide shelter from the weather – building ledges; balconies, rafters, roofs and eaves troughs are ideal locations. Birds, such as pigeons, woodpeckers, starlings, sparrows, crows, and seagulls can carry bacteria and spread disease into our food, water, or through airborne particles. Pigeons alone are associated with three types of human diseases: Histoplasmosis, Cryptococcosis, and Psittacosis. It is important to remember, however, that there are strict rules which apply to some birds and certain permits can be required when dealing with them.
TERMINIX CANADA will work with you to eliminate your bird control problem in accordance with the Wildlife Act, and Environment Canada's Migratory Bird Act. This may include baiting, trapping, exclusion and/or removal. Once birds are removed from the area, Care Pest & Wildlife Control will safely clean the area to ensure the health risks are eliminated and add preventative measures to your structure to avoid future re-infestation. It is important to maintain a clean, safe environment at your home or business facility in order to protect your family and employees, and to maintain your reputation using our bird-control tactics.
Pigeons in particular can cause great structural damage, apart from being an unsightly nuisance. Pigeons nests can cause water damage, when their nesting materials clog up drainage system. This bird's droppings contain uric acid, which is highly corrosive and can cause damage to the exterior of homes and other buildings they lay claim to. If you have noticed a pigeon issue at your home or commercial establishment, TERMINIX CANADA provides various means of pigeon control, including: pigeon spiking, to prevent further roosting, as well as baiting, trapping and removal.
Moles are found all over the Lower Mainland, at residential homes, commercial complexes, and often golf courses. They feed on earthworms and other insects found in soil. Moles are best known for building vast tunnels and mounds on your property with their short, powerful limbs that are intended specifically for digging. Their tunneling can cause your lawn and patios to become uneven and may contribute to cement slabs cracking. To protect your property, trapping is the best way to resolve the problem. Moles are solitary animals and in most cases the problem can be resolved with the removal of the one mole.
Wildlife problems need to be managed in 3 steps:
- Exclusion
- Clean-up
- Prevention
Wildlife can be a nuisance around the outside of your property but when they begin to nest in and around your home or business, they become a serious health risk, dangerous to small children and pets, and can cause significant damage to your property. The first step to remedy a wildlife problem is to remove the pest(s) from your property. This is done using humane wildlife removal techniques.
Their droppings and urine are known to transmit a number of diseases, including Histoplasmosis, Cryptococcosis, Salmonellosis and in the case of deer mice, Hantavirus. Illness can occur from breathing in airborne fungal spores or other pathogens associated with their urine and droppings. Wildlife may also introduce fleas and mites into your living spaces. Many people, especially infants and children, are susceptible to allergens from the soiled insulation which can trigger asthma and other respiratory illnesses.
TERMINIX CANADA specializes in raccoon, skunk, squirrel, and rodent exclusion for around your home and business.
TERMINIX CANADA's environmental clean-up team will provide you with a written quotation for your attic clean-up which includes treating the space with an anti-bacterial virucidal spray. This spray kills all pathogens in the area. A HEPA vacuum is used to remove all the droppings and contaminated insulation – the HEPA vacuum is essential to contain harmful contaminants left by rats or wildlife. New fibreglass bat or blown insulation will be installed. Many properties do not have the recommended R value of insulation which can help decrease heating costs in the winter and keep your home cool in the summer. Investing in a properly insulated, clean attic and crawlspace can save you money, prevent health problems, and becomes a great selling feature for your property.
Once pests have been removed, your property can be secured against future pests with the use of galvanized screen and door guards.

VIENNA (Reuters) - Uruguay's legalization of marijuana violates an international drug control convention and fails to consider a negative health impact, a body set up to monitor compliance with the five-decade-old treaty said on Wednesday.
The president of the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), Raymond Yans, said the change would not protect young people but would rather have the "perverse effect of encouraging early experimentation" and lowering the age of first use.
Adding weight to the criticism of Tuesday's move by Uruguay - the first country to take such a step - the U.N. anti-drugs office said it agreed with the INCB and that states should work closely together to deal with the global drugs challenge.
"It is unfortunate that, at a time when the world is engaged in an ongoing discussion on the world drug problem, Uruguay has acted ahead of the special session of the U.N. General Assembly planned for 2016," David Dadge, spokesman for the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), said.
In an experiment that will be closely watched by other nations debating drug liberalization, Uruguay became the first country to legalize the growing, sale and smoking of marijuana,
A government-sponsored bill approved in the Senate provides for regulation of the cultivation, distribution and consumption of marijuana and is aimed at wresting the business from criminals in the small South American nation.
But the Vienna-based INCB said the legislation contravenes the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, to which it said Uruguay is a party.
The convention requires states to limit the use of cannabis to medical and scientific purposes, due to its dependence-producing potential, Yans said in a statement.
He was surprised that Uruguay's legislature and government "knowingly decided to break the universally agreed and internationally endorsed legal provisions of the treaty".
The INCB describes itself as an independent, quasi-judicial body charged with promoting and monitoring compliance with the three international drug control conventions.
It called on Uruguay "to engage with the board with a view to ensure that Uruguay continues to respect and implement the treaties to which it is a party". But the statement did not say whether it envisages any further action on the issue.
Uruguay's attempt to quell drug trafficking is being followed closely in Latin America, where the legalization of some narcotics is being increasingly seen by regional leaders as a possible way to end the violence spawned by the cocaine trade.
Rich countries debating legalization of pot are also watching the bill, which philanthropist George Soros has supported as an "experiment" that could provide an alternative to the failed U.S.-led policies of the long "war on drugs".
Other countries have decriminalized marijuana possession and the Netherlands allows its sale in coffee shops, but Uruguay will be the first nation to legalize the whole chain from growing the plant to buying and selling its leaves.
"Just as illicit drugs are everyone's shared responsibility, there is a need for each country to work closely together and to jointly agree on the way forward for dealing with this global challenge," UNODC's Dadge said.
Yans, the INCB president, said Uruguay's decision "fails to consider its negative impacts on health since scientific studies confirm that cannabis is an addictive substance with serious consequences for people's health".
"Cannabis is not only addictive but may also affect some fundamental brain functions, IQ potential, and academic and job performance and impair driving skills. Smoking cannabis is more carcinogenic than smoking tobacco," the INCB statement said.

on Ubunutu 10, this would not work when i removed the 2 single quotes around database name, then it worked.
just replace the databasename with the actual name of the databse you want to create... and replace username with your real username... and replace hostname with the name of your ubuntu server, usually "localhost" will work as the name of the host... and replace password with the ubunutu password for the username you typed before...

Game Consoles Keep Pace in a Tablet World
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo sold a jaw-dropping 1.98 million consoles in the U.S. last week - an astonishing accomplishment for an industry that is facing enormous pressure from emerging gaming platforms, like the iPad. The WSJ's Juro Osawa has the details.

The Iceman Goeth: Good News from Greenland and Antarctica
How many of us have heard that global sea level will be about a meter—more than three feet—higher in 2100 than it was in the year 2000? There are even scarier stories, circulated by NASA's James E. Hansen, that the rise may approach 6 meters, altering shorelines and inundating major cities and millions of coastal inhabitants worldwide.

Model from a travelling climate change exhibit (currently installed at the Field Museum of natural history in Chicago) of Lower Manhattan showing what 5 meters (16 feet) of sea level rise will look like.[/caption]In fact, a major exhibition now at the prestigious Chicago Field Museum includes a 3-D model of Lower Manhattan under 16 feet of water—this despite the general warning from the James Titus, who has been EPA's sea-level authority for decades:
Researchers and the media need to stop suggesting that Manhattan or even Miami will be lost to a rising sea. That's not realistic; it promotes denial and panic, not a reasoned consideration of the future.
Titus was commenting upon his 2009 publication on sea-level rise in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
The number one rule of grabbing attention for global warming is to never let the facts stand in the way of a good horror story, so advice like Titus's is usually ignored.
The catastrophic sea level rise proposition is built upon the idea that large parts of the ice fields that lay atop Greenland and Antarctica will rapidly melt and slip into the sea as temperatures there rise. Proponents of this idea claim that the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in its most recent (2007) Assessment Report, was far too conservative in its projections of future sea level rise—the mean value of which is a rise by the year 2100 of about 15 inches.
In fact, contrary to virtually all news coverage, the IPCC actually anticipates that Antarctica will gain ice mass (and lower sea level) as the climate warms, since the temperature there is too low to produce much melting even if it warms up several degrees, while the warmer air holds more moisture and therefore precipitates more snow. The IPCC projects Greenland to contribute a couple of inches of sea level rise as ice melts around its periphery.
Alarmist critics claim that the IPCC's projections are based only on direct melt estimates rather than "dynamic" responses of the glaciers and ice fields to rising temperatures.
These include Al Gore's favorite explanation—that melt water from the surface percolates down to the bottom of the glacier and lubricates its base, increasing flow and ultimately ice discharge. Alarmists like Gore and Hansen claim that Greenland and Antarctica's glaciers will then "surge" into the sea, dumping an ever-increasing volume of ice and raising water levels worldwide.
The IPCC did not include this mechanism because it is very hypothetical and not well understood. Rather, new science argues that the IPCC's minuscule projections of sea level rise from these two great ice masses are being confirmed.
About a year ago, several different research teams reported that while glaciers may surge from time to time and increase ice discharge rates, these surges are not long-lived and that basal lubrication is not a major factor in these surges. One research group, led by Faezeh Nick and colleagues reported that "our modeling does not support enhanced basal lubrication as the governing process for the observed changes." Nick and colleagues go on to find that short-term rapid increases in discharge rates are not stable and that "extreme mass loss cannot be dynamically maintained in the long term" and ultimately concluding that "[o]ur results imply that the recent rates of mass loss in Greenland's outlet glaciers are transient and should not be extrapolated into the future."
But this is actually old news. The new news is that the commonly-reported (and commonly hyped) satellite estimates of mass loss from both Greenland and Antarctica were a result of improper calibration, overestimating ice loss by some 50%.
As with any new technology, it takes a while to get all the kinks worked out. In the case of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite-borne instrumentation, one of the major problems is interpreting just what exactly the satellites are measuring. When trying to ascertain mass changes (for instance, from ice loss) from changes in the earth's gravity field, you first have to know how the actual land under the ice is vertically moving (in many places it is still slowly adjusting from the removal of the glacial ice load from the last ice age).
The latest research by a team led by Xiaoping Wu from Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory concludes that the adjustment models that were being used by previous researchers working with the GRACE data didn't do that great of a job. Wu and colleagues enhanced the existing models by incorporating land movements from a network of GPS sensors, and employing more sophisticated statistics. What they found has been turning heads.
Using the GRACE measurements and the improved model, the new estimates of the rates of ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica are only about half as much as the old ones.
Instead of Greenland losing ~230 gigatons of ice each year since 2002, the new estimate is 104 Gt/yr. And for Antarctica, the old estimate of ~150 Gt/yr has been modified to be about 87 Gt/yr.
How does this translate into sea level rise?
It takes about 37.4 gigatons of ice loss to raise the global sea level 0.1 millimeter—four hundredths of an inch. In other words, ice loss from Greenland is currently contributing just over one-fourth of a millimeter of sea level rise per year, or one one-hundreth of an inch. Antarctica's contribution is just under one-fourth of a millimeter per year. So together, these two regions—which contain 99% of all the land ice on earth—are losing ice at a rate which leads to an annual sea level rise of one half of one millimeter per year. This is equivalent to a bit less than 2 hundredths of an inch per year. If this continues for the next 90 years, the total sea level rise contributed by Greenland and Antarctica by the year 2100 will amount to less than 2 inches.
Couple this with maybe 6-8 inches from the fact that the ocean rises with increasing temperature, temperatures and 2-3 inches from melting of other land-based ice, and you get a sum total of about one foot of additional rise by century's end.
This is about 1/3rd of the 1 meter estimates and 1/20th of the 6 meter estimates.
Things had better get cooking in a hurry if the real world is going to approach these popular estimates. And there are no signs that such a move is underway.
So far, the 21st century has been pretty much of a downer for global warming alarmists. Not only has the earth been warming at a rate considerably less than the average rate projected by climate models, but now the sea level rise is suffering a similar fate.
Little wonder that political schemes purporting to save us from these projected (non)calamities are also similarly failing to take hold.

Romania: Anti-missile interceptors to be deployed
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Romania's defense minister said Tuesday U.S. plans to deploy anti-missile interceptors in his country are going ahead and that Romania has an "exceptional" partnership with the United States.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel last week announced that plans to place long-range missile interceptors in the final stage of its European system are being abandoned. U.S. officials have stressed they will deploy shorter-range missiles to Poland and Romania.
Mircea Dusa told the Associated Press on Tuesday that "I have very serious assurances from the American side that the investment in Romania will continue," and interceptors will be deployed in 2015.
"Our military cooperation (with the U.S.) since we joined NATO is an exceptional one."
He said the changes in the defense system plans were caused by spending cuts, not political considerations.
"There is a worldwide problem with the economic crisis and in 2013 very many states are spending less on their defense budgets," he told the AP.
He says Romanian officials were informed three weeks ago followed by confirmation "two to three hours" before the U.S. announcement.
He refused to be drawn on Russia's opposition to the anti-missile interceptors beyond saying that Romania had "normal" relations with Moscow.
Russia has complained about the U.S. plan, with the Kremlin saying it believes it is aimed against Russia's missile program. Washington adamantly denies that and says the system is meant to stop missiles from Iran and North Korea.
Romania's relations have cooled with Russia since Romania joined NATO in 2004 and also over the former Soviet republic of Moldova, which used to be part of Romania. Some three-quarters of Moldova's 4.1 million citizens are of Romanian descent and tens of thousands have Romanian citizenship, but Russia continues to wield economic and political influence.

One Senate Republican and a pair from the Independent Democratic Conference held a news...
One Senate Republican and a pair from the Independent Democratic Conference held a news conference in Albany today, calling on the Legislature to pass a moratorium on hydrofracking until June 2013.
Sen. Greg Ball, R-Patterson, Putnam County, is carrying a bill in the Senate
that would officially suspend hydrofracking in New York until June 1, 2013. It's being sponsored by Assembly Environmental Chairman Robert Sweeney in the lower house.
The bill was officially introduced today.
Ball was joined by Sens. David Carlucci, D-Clarkstown, Rockland County, and David Valesky, D-Oneida, at the news conference, along with Craig and Julie Sautner of Dimock, Pa., who are among those involved in the ongoing battle with Cabot Oil & Gas over methane contaminated water wells in the quaint township south of Binghamton.
"We do not have the protections in place at this point," Ball said. "Being such a comprehensive and complicated issue, we've got to have protections from the point of industry standards all the way up to the (gas lease) contracts that are being signed right now. And those contracts that have been signed, whether or not we can go back and make sure these issues are addressed."
High-volume hydrofracking, meanwhile, is on hold in New York as the Department of Environmental Conservation works to finalize a set of proposed rules and regulations for the gas industry.
Brad Gill, executive director of the Independent Oil & Gas Association of New York, issued a statement blasting the moratorium bill.
"IOGA of NY questions the logic behind calls for an additional one-year moratorium on future and existing natural state exploration before the state Department of Environmental Conservation has even completed its nearly four-year review of the associated science, technology and environmental protections," he said. "Pre-judging the outcome of the DEC's work provides no added value to the merit of the discussion."

Doctors day
About Doctors day
A doctor's profession is not only very demanding but it is also a job on which lives of the patients depends. People see doctors as God's incarnation on earth especially when the lives of their loved on ones depend on them. The first day of the month of July is observed as the Doctor's Day in India. It is celebrated on 1st of July on the birth and death anniversary of the most famous physician of India Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy (Dr. B C Roy).
The day is observed to express gratitude and acknowledge the dedication and commitment of the doctors' towards our society. The celebration of the Doctors' Day is an attempt to emphasize the value of doctors in our lives and to offer them our respects by commemorating one of their greatest representatives.
Plants are very important for our health like doctors. Both keep us safe and healthy. On this Doctors' Day pay your gratitude towards the doctor and make them happy by gifting live plant. Presence of a plant in the room or at the work desk can help considerably in making the air around you fresher. So when you give someone a plant, you are giving them the gift of good health because they will breathe fresher air.

Committee Opinion Number 681, December 2016
(Replaces Committee Opinion No. 520, March 2012) (Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: Adverse outcomes, preventable or otherwise, are a reality of medical care. Most importantly, adverse events affect patients, but they also affect health care practitioners. Disclosing information about adverse events has benefits for the patient and the physician and, ideally, strengthens the patient–physician relationship and promotes trust. Studies show that after an adverse outcome, patients expect and want timely and full disclosure of the event, an acknowledgment of responsibility, an understanding of what happened, expressions of sympathy, and a discussion of what is being don...
Committee Opinion Number 473, January 2011
(Reaffirmed 2019)
Abstract: Drug enforcement policies that deter women from seeking prenatal care are contrary to the welfare of the mother and fetus. Incarceration and the threat of incarceration have proved to be ineffective in reducing the incidence of alcohol or drug abuse. Obstetrician–gynecologists should be aware of the reporting requirements related to alcohol and drug abuse within their states. They are encouraged to work with state legislators to retract legislation that punishes women for substance abuse during pregnancy.

And Helen is still bad. She outted someone else to a crowd of disgusting people. She was a mole who fucked up her so-called friends lives to feel useful.
It was not a deliberate outing since Helen was drunk. If she really wanted to sell out her friends she could have negotiated for a better place at the table considering she knew 2 things that Karen would find valuable: Sara's sexuality and Aggie's crush on Marshall. Instead she gave away both because she was quite inebriated. That was not good, but her greatest failing was not admitting what happened and going along with the lie.
And seriously where do you get this notion that she fucked up their lives? It was highly unpleasant for a few days, but the whole confession/accusation was largely forgotten after Karen's popularity imploded. The way you recall it you would think Sara was almost burned at the stake.

Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst are gravity-crossed lovers in director Juan Diego Solanas' romance movie Upside Down. Set on two planets that share the same atmosphere, this whole thing feels like the melodramatic baby of Dr. Seuss and M.C. M.C. Escher. But it does have one thing going for it: intense beauty. This new trailer is all sorts of beautiful. Check it out.
Here's the official synopsis:
Kept apart from the girl he has loved his entire life; Adam must fight to reunite with Eden. But the laws of his world as well as the laws of gravity keep him from her. Adam must risk everything to access the forbidden world of affluence that exists literally above him. As he struggles to keep the authorities from discovering him while manipulating the gravitational force that physically pulls him back to his world, Adam faces insurmountable danger in hopes of finding his long-lost love.
Upside Down will open on March 15th, 2013.

"All for ourselves and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind." - Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, Book 3, Chapter IV
"The moral purpose of a man's life is the achievement of his own happiness. This does not mean that he is indifferent to all men, that human life is of no value to him and that he has no reason to help others in an emergency. But it does mean that he does not subordinate his life to the welfare of others, that he does not sacrifice himself to their needs, that the relief of their suffering is not his primary concern, that any help he gives is an exception, not a rule, an act of generosity, not of moral duty, that it is marginal and incidental—as disasters are marginal and incidental in the course of human existence—and that values, not disasters, are the goal, the first concern and the motive power of his life." - Ayn Rand, The Virtue of Selfishness
Or if anyone wants the most succint evidence possible that Rand's absolutist ideology can used to rationalize just about anything, here's Rand answering a question about the displacement/elimination of Native Americans as a result of Old World colonization after an address at West Point, March 6, 1974.
[The Native Americans] didn't have any rights to the land and there was no reason for anyone to grant them rights which they had not conceived and were not using.... What was it they were fighting for, if they opposed white men on this continent? For their wish to continue a primitive existence, their "right" to keep part of the earth untouched, unused and not even as property, just keep everybody out so that you will live practically like an animal, or maybe a few caves above it. Any white person who brought the element of civilization had the right to take over this continent.And here's the modern Rand disciple explaining how darn thankful the American Indian should be.
Before Europeans arrived, the scattered tribes occupying North America lived in abject poverty, ignorance, and superstition--not due to any racial inferiority, but because that is how all mankind starts out (Europeans included). The transfer of Western civilization to this continent was one of the great cultural gifts in recorded history, affording Indians almost effortless access to centuries of European accomplishments in philosophy, science, technology, and government. As a result, today's Indians enjoy a capacity for generating health, wealth, and happiness that their Stone Age ancestors could never have conceived.If they'd been more resistant to European disease, I expect they would have ended up as slaves, and some Randian would be telling them - like Pat Buchanan did blacks - they should be thankful for it. Heck, maybe the wage slaves in Saipan should be thankful for all the civilization Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff brought them. Check out this dreamer from '05, right in the middle of it.
From a historical perspective, the proper response to such a gift is not resentment but gratitude. America's policies toward the Indians were generally benign, aimed at protecting them from undeserved harm while providing significant material support and encouragement to become civilized. When those policies erred, it was usually by treating Indians collectively, as "nations" entitled to permanent occupancy of semi-sovereign reservations. Instead, Indians should have been treated as individuals deserving full and equal American citizenship in exchange for embracing individual rights, including private ownership of land.
I harbor no crazy notions that the Commonwealth will embrace free markets in some Randesque rapture. But the CNMI has a lot of free market attributes nonetheless, and things are consequently far better in the Commonwealth than in most places in the world. As for Atlas Shrugged, I think it's Rand's best work, and, in fact, one of the best books, period.

March 20, 2008 -- Actemra, an experimental biologic drug, shows promise in treating rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (formerly called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, or JRA).
That news comes from the drug's phase III trials, which test safety and effectiveness.
Biologic drugs, such as Actemra, target specific parts of the immune system that lead the inflammation that causes joint damage in RA. Current biologic drugs used to treat RA include Enbrel, Humira, Orencia, Remicade, and Rituxan.
Actemra is not yet available. It works on a different area of the immune system than the other biologic drugs.
One trial covered rheumatoid arthritis; the other focused on juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Results for both trials appear in the March 22 edition of The Lancet.
A related editorial voices "cautious optimism" but calls for more studies on Actemra's possible effects on cholesterol, and for head-to-head comparisons of Actemra and other biologic arthritis drugs.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Study
The rheumatoid arthritis study included 621 patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who had already tried the drug methotrexate for their RA.
The patients got injections of a higher dose of Actemra, a lower dose of Actemra, or a placebo every four weeks for six months.
At the end of the study, 59% of the patients who got the higher Actemra dose, 48% of those taking the lower Actemra dose, and 26% of those who got the placebo had at least a 20% improvement in their signs and symptoms of RA, which is considered significant improvement.
Upper respiratory tract infections were the most common side effects seen in the Actemra group. Liver enzyme levels also rose for some Actemra patients, but those were typically one-time events and weren't linked to symptoms of liver disease, according to the researchers.
Total cholesterol and LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels rose in the Actemra users. The reason for that isn't clear. Major heart "events" -- such as heart attacks -- weren't more common with Actemra use, but the study only lasted for six months, which may not have been long enough to detect cardiovascular risk.
WebMD reported on the study last June, when researcher Josef Smolen, MD, of Austria's Medical University of Vienna, presented the findings in Barcelona, Spain, at the European League Against Rheumatism's annual meeting.
The study, which didn't look at the drug's long-term safety, was funded by Hoffmann-La Roche and Japan's Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., which are developing Actemra.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Study
The juvenile idiopathic arthritis trial included 56 children in Japan who had tried other drugs to treat their arthritis.
First, all of the children got three doses of Actemra every two weeks for six weeks. Then 43 kids whose arthritis had improved with Actemra treatment kept getting Actemra; all in all, they took Actemra for four months.
Actemra trumped the placebo and "might be a suitable treatment in the control of this disorder, which has so far been difficult to manage," write Yokohama City University's Shumpei Yokota, MD, and colleagues.
Adverse events were typical of other biologic drugs and included upper respiratory-tract infections and stomach flu. Anaphylactic allergic reactions and increases in liver enzyme levels were rarer.
The study was funded by Chugai Pharmaceutical Co.
Expert: Head-to-Head Trials Needed
Editorialist Tim Bongartz, MD, who works at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minn., writes that he is "excited about the ongoing expansion of therapeutic options for rheumatoid arthritis and, especially, systemic [juvenile idiopathic arthritis]."
But he cautions that the evidence doesn't show how Actemra's risks and benefits stack up against other treatment choices.
"In an ideal world, comparative trials of new drugs with other effective treatments, powered to detect important safety and efficacy endpoints, would provide this information, which I regard as essential," writes Bongartz.
"It is not clear that these trials will be available before the likely approval of tocolizumab [Actemra], and it may be up to investigators to initiate the head-to-head comparisons needed to address these issues," adds Bongartz.

Save interpolated function
I am importing tables with sizes of 100k - 500k rows and 4 columns. The larger the table, the slower my Mathematica runs for all computations after the import. I import the table and then apply Interpolation to them. After that the tables are no longer required and I use just the Interpolation functions.
So my question is, can I somehow restart the kernel to get rid of the large data tables but keep the interpolation functions calculated from those tables? Or is some other solution possible? THanks!

Yesterday, we brought you the delightful video of the seemingly inebriated Bruins fan kicking a hole through a column in a TD Garden restroom. We all had some laughs and moved on, with the exception of TD Garden officials.
According to the AP, our favorite Bruins fan is currently a wanted woman. We're reprinting the report in full to best capture its beautiful comic pacing.
BOSTON — Officials from the TD Garden are trying to identify a woman who can be seen on an Internet video kicking a hole in a bathroom pillar.
Boston Bruins spokesman Matt Chmura said building officials found the damage in their postgame sweep after Saturday night's game against the St. Louis Blues. They are trying to identify and locate the woman, whose face is clearly shown in the video.
In the video, a woman in a Milan Lucic Bruins T-shirt kicks a hole in a support pillar in the bathroom.
Then she falls down.
Perfect. That kicker just slays us. But shouldn't everyone be a little concerned that there's a Chmura hanging out by the women's room?
Good luck to you, TD Garden officials. I hope you bring this woman to arena justice. We'll update you on this story if there are more developments.

Updated March 25, 2005 | April 10, 2002 | Fredrik Lundh
Update 2006-04-06: PythonDoc 2.1 beta 6 adds experimental support for putting documentation markup in docstrings. Use the -s option to tell pythondoc to check the docstrings too.
Update 2005-11-01: Current PythonDoc releases don't work well under Python 2.4.1, due to a bug in Python's parser. To work around this, upgrade to 2.4.2, or remove the coding directive from the top of the pythondoc.py source file.
Introduction #
The PythonDoc tool generates API documentation in HTML and other formats, based on descriptions in Python source files. PythonDoc is a Python implementation of the JavaDoc (tm) tool.
PythonDoc 2.0 parses Python source code, looking for special documentation comments and the variables, functions, classes, and methods they're describing.
By default, PythonDoc generates a set of HTML pages describing all documented components in the source files. PythonDoc can also generate XML files, which you can process in various ways using your favourite XML toolbox.
What's new in 2.0?
PythonDoc 2.0 is rewritten from scratch (mostly without even looking at the original code), so the obvious answer is "Everything!". Here's a more useful list:
- uses source code scanning instead of import/introspection; the new approach is safer and a lot more reliable.
- supports variables and class and instance attributes
- improved XML format, including proper nesting of classes and methods.
- XML format also includes undocumented functions, classes, and methods; this can be used by custom output formatters to list undocumented items, and to generate default documentation also for undocumented items.
- supports internationalized source code (the coding directive)
- includes experimental support for module-level documentation
- supports inline @link and @linkplain tags (in 2.1)
- supports pluggable and configurable output generators (-O, -D)
- nicer standard HTML output format (but you can write your own plugin if the default format doesn't suit your needs)
- internal regression test suite includes a lot more tests, and many megabytes of marked-up real-life Python code (not all of it written by me).
- designed to run on Python 1.5.2 and newer, and parse code written for Python 1.0 and newer
- the old version was one big hack. this one isn't.
The pythondoc Command-Line Utility #
The pythondoc utility is a simple command-line tool that you can use to generate HTML documentation for individual modules or an entire package.
$ pythondoc.py package $ pythondoc.py module1.py module2.py module3.py package/module4.py
The current version writes the output to the current directory, to files named pythondoc-module.html.
You can find sample output here (generated with PythonDoc 2.0 beta 1).
The -x option tells PythonDoc to generate XML descriptions as well as HTML:
$ pythondoc.py -x module.py
The -O option tells PythonDoc to use a custom output formatter. You can use the -D option to pass configuration variables to the formatter:
$ pythondoc.py -Omyformat -Dindex -Dencoding=utf-8 mypackage
The default renderer accepts -Dstyle=url to add a style sheet link to the HTML header, or -Dzone to write the document body to a text file (this format still uses HTML markup for the body contents, but other HTML document elements are not included).
The -s option tells PythonDoc to look for documentation markup in docstrings too.
$ pythondoc.py -s module.py
This option was introduced in 2.1b6, and should be considered as experimental.
Documentation Comments #
To generate documentation for a function, class, or method, you must add a special documentation comment before the function or class declaration. The comment and the declaration must have the same indentation.
PythonDoc 2 also supports documentation for module variables and class attributes. Just put the documentation comment before you first assign to the variable.
## # This comment provides documentation for the following # function. def function(argument): pass ## # This comment provides documentation for the following # variable. variable = value
The first line must use double comment markers (##), and all following lines must begin with a single comment marker (#). The tool strips off the comment markers, and the space following directly after the comment marker (if any), but all remaining whitespace is preserved.
The documentation comment consists of two parts; the first part is a description of the following class, function, or method. The second part consists of one or more tags. Both parts can be empty.
The function or class declaration must follow immediately after the documentation comment. Empty lines, or lines containing only whitespace, are ignored, but any other line is treated as a syntax error, and forces the tool to ignore the comment.
In PythonDoc 2.0, you can also use documentation comments to describe the the module itself. A module comment looks like an ordinary documentation comment, but it ends with an extra comment marker (##):
## # This is a module comment. ##
You can have only one module comment in each file, and it must be placed before any other PythonDoc comment.
Descriptions are HTML fragments, and you can use most standard HTML freely. The PythonDoc parser is currently a bit stricter than most browsers:
- P, LI, TR, and TD tags are automatically closed, if necessary. These elements cannot be nested; if you put two P start tags after each other, the parser will automatically insert a P end tag between them.
- Text at the beginning of the comment is automatically wrapped in a P element.
- End tags for IMG and HR are ignored.
- All other tags must be properly nested. Each start tag must be followed by a corresponding end tag.
- Attributes can be quoted or unquoted. The parser automatically adds quotes where necessary.
- Reserved characters must be properly escaped. This includes less-than (<), greater-than (>), and ampersand (&), and also the at-sign (@) at the beginning of a line, if that line does not contain a tag (see below).
The documentation comment can contain one or more tags. An at-sign (@) at the beginning of the line is used to indicate that a line contains a tag. The text before the first tag is called the description.
## # This is a simple function. This is the description. # @param arg An argument to the function.
The PythonDoc tool currently supports a small subset of the JavaDoc tags, plus a few PythonDoc-specific extensions.
Tags can contain HTML markup, just like descriptions.
The @param tag
The @param tag is used to describe a function argument. It's always followed by the argument name, and one or more lines of descriptive text.
# @param size The requested size, as an integer. # @param filename The source file. Instead of a file name, you can # provide a file object, or any other object that supports 'read' # and 'seek'.
The argument description can contain HTML markup.
The @keyparam tag
The @keyparam tag (a PythonDoc extension) is similar to @param, but should be used for parameters that should always be given as keyword parameters (e.g. options). Like @param, this tag always followed by the argument name, and one or more lines of descriptive text.
The output generator may place the keyword parameters under a separate heading, or add other kinds of annotations indicating that this is not an ordinary positional argument.
# @keyparam color An optional color value.
The @return tag
The @return tag is used to describe what a function returns. It can include one or more lines of descriptive text.
# @return An integer value.
The @exception tag
The @exception tag is used to describe why the function may raise a given exception. It's always followed by the exception name, and one or more lines of descriptive text.
For compatibility with JavaDoc, this tag can also be spelled @throws.
# @exception IOError Failed to open or read the file.
The @def tag
The @def tag (a PythonDoc extension) can be used to control how PythonDoc describes function and methods. By default, PythonDoc reads the method name and the argument list from the source code. If you don't want the documentation to contain what's in the source code, you can use this tag to override the default behaviour:
# @def decode(text) # @param text The string to decode. def decode(s, translate=string.translate, repr=repr): ...
Note that the @def tag contains both the function name and the argument list.
The @defreturn tag (experimental)
The @defreturn tag (an experimental PythonDoc extension) can be used to specify a very brief description of a return value (e.g. "string", "4-tuple", etc). Some output formatters display this on the same line as the function definition:
# @def decode(text) # @defreturn string
This may be rendered as "def decode(text) ⇒ string" by an output formatter.
The @see tag
The @see tag is used to add references to an item. This tag is currently not supported by any standard output generator, and the semantics remain a bit unclear.
The @link and @linkplain inline tags
(New in 2.1) The @link and @linkplain tags are used to add inline links to a description.
In the current release, the links must have the following syntax:
{@link #tag text} {@linkplain #tag text}
Here, the tag must be the name of a subject in the current module (use class.method to refer to a method). For @link tags, the text part should contain the name of the subject (if the text is omitted, it defaults to the last part of the tag). For @linkplain, the text part can contain arbitrary HTML text.
# @param entry The target entry. This should be an instance of # the {@link #Entry Entry} class.
# @param entry The target entry. This should be an instance of # {@linkplain #Entry the Entry class}.
The PythonDoc Infoset #
The PythonDoc parser generates an XML infoset based on the contents of each source file. For each function, class, or method, it create a corresponding descriptor element. The element contains ordinary HTML block elements (with can contain any number of valid HTML subelements), plus a number of special elements. Here's an example:
<function lineno="67" name="mymodule.log"> <info> <def>log(entry)</def> <name>log</name> <return>Log identifier or None</return> <description>
Send log message to all registered log targets.
 </description> <param name="entry">A log entry (given as a LogEntry instance)</param> <see>LogEntry</see> </info> </function>
Internally, this is represented as an Element structure. Output formatters can either operate directly on the structure, convert it to a standard Python DOM object, or write it out as XML and run an external filter (e.g. an XSLT processor) on it.
For more information on the infoset, see The PythonDoc Infoset.
The PythonDoc Module #
PythonDoc 2 can be used both as a command-line utility, and as a Python module. The latter can come in handy in situations where there's not a direct match between the Python source files, and the programming interface exposed to the user. In such cases, you can use PythonDoc's parse function to read in the documentation for the actual source files, and manipulate the resulting module descriptions in Python before generating the output files.
For more on this (including examples), see Generating PythonDoc Pages for Virtual Modules.
