Spasticity is a condition in which muscles are tight or stiff. For example, your hand may stay clenched in a fist or your knee may be hard to bend. At times the muscles may jerk or spasm uncontrollably. It can interfere with your ability to move, speak, or walk normally.
Spasticity usually occurs because of damage to the part of the brain or spinal cord that controls voluntary movement. It's often the result of a spinal cord injury, a stroke, or a disease such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease).
Common symptoms include:
If spasticity isn't treated, the muscles may freeze in an abnormal position. This can be very painful.
The main treatments are physical therapy and medicines that help reduce muscle spasms. Surgery may be an option in severe cases.
Exercise and stretching are important treatments for spasticity. Therapists will work with you to increase your range of motion and keep your muscles from getting stiff. You will need to move the affected limb over and over again on a regular basis. You may do this on your own or with the help of a therapist, machine, or caregiver.
In some cases, cold packs and electrical stimulation are used on muscles. Casts or splints may be used to stretch the muscles and keep them from contracting.
Muscle relaxants (antispasmodics) are used to treat spasticity. They include baclofen (such as Gablofen) and tizanidine (Zanaflex). These medicines relax tight muscles and stop muscle spasms. But they may cause sleepiness, muscle weakness, and nausea.
Baclofen is the medicine most often prescribed for spasticity. You can take it as a pill, or a surgeon can implant a small pump under your skin that delivers the medicine directly to your spinal cord. The advantage of the pump is that you will use less medicine. This reduces the side effects that are a problem with baclofen pills. Your doctor can tell you if the pump is right for you.
Other medicines that may be used include gabapentin (such as Neurontin), diazepam (Valium), clonazepam (such as Klonopin), and dantrolene (Dantrium). In many cases, taking small doses of a combination of medicines works better and causes fewer side effects than taking a larger dose of a single medicine.
Botulinum toxin (such as Botox) injections given directly into the muscle can block messages that cause the muscle to spasm. The effect of one injection lasts about 3 to 4 months.
Some people try medical marijuana to relieve spasticity. But at present, experts don't recommend it because there is not enough evidence that its benefits are greater than its risks.
Some people with severe spasticity may need surgery. For example, surgery may be done to:

AOP Orphan Reports Positive Phase II Data of AOP2014/P1101
News Dec 11, 2012
AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals AG (AOP Orphan) has announced that based on promising phase II data it will initiate a phase III trial to support European Marketing Authorization of a novel mono-pegylated Interferon alpha 2b (AOP2014/P1101) for treatment of Polycythemia Vera (PV).
AOP Orphan has exclusively licensed AOP2014/P1101 for development and commercialization in the field of Myeloproliferative Disorders (MPDs) with the territory of Central Europe, CIS and Middle East from Pharmaessentia Corp. a biotech company based in Taiwan.
In contrast to other pegylated Interferons that require weekly administration, AOP2014/P1101 is applied only every other week, resulting in higher convenience and potentially improved tolerability, compliance and long term treatment outcomes.
Results from a phase II trial sponsored and conducted by AOP Orphan were presented yesterday Dec 9, 2012 in an oral presentation by Prof. Dr. Heinz Gisslinger from Vienna, Austria at this year´s prestigious annual ASH (American Society of Hematology) meeting held in Atlanta, U.S.A.
"Pegylated Interferons represent the most promising treatment modality for patients suffering from MPDs, even providing a chance for cure", comments Prof. Gisslinger, University Hospital for Internal Medicine I, Hematology, General Hospital Vienna, Austria.
Data from 41 PV patients showed no dose limiting toxicities in a dose range from 50-540 μg given every two weeks, with a side effect profile in line with expectations based on other pegylated Interferons.
The overall response rate exceeded 90%, at 12 months of treatment 45-50% of patients showed a complete response based on normalization of hematological parameters.
A trend for normalization of spleen size was also observed at this relatively early time point. Importantly, after one year all patients were completely independent from phlebotomies.
Furthermore, JAK2 allelic burden was reduced significantly and sustained starting from week 28 of treatment. Molecular responses are regarded as important disease modification with the ultimate potential for cure.
"We are extremely happy with these promising results of AOP2014/P1101, and will take all efforts to make this novel treatment available to patients", said Dr. Rudolf Widmann, CEO of AOP Orphan.
Based on these results AOP Orphan is initiating a pivotal phase III trial involving Polycythemia Vera patients. The trial termed PROUD-PV will commence early in 2013 and will include centers all across Europe.
Design and endpoints of this trial have been discussed between the European Medicines Agency EMA and AOP Oprhan to support a European Marketing Authorization, using EMAs centralized procedure.
AOP2014/P1101 has received Orphan Drug designation already in 2011.

look at the picture... now at the site's name - mystery solved !
Clopotarul -
Hahaahahhhahah !!! LMAO!
So true, though.
Those two ladies should really kiss and make up.
That must be
Jessica Cambensy
Never thought Chinese + Filipino + American is such a great mix.
For a game that has the word ass in the title twice, they should of really included a couple of photos from a different angle.
allow me to help you guys out
there... switch to Asian Mode!!!
So is German, Swedish, Russian ... and so on
Their country are all mixed with of different kind of people and races.
Chill and be a little stereotypical instead of be such a word-police, i dont feel the need to dive into that kind of boring discussion.
You're right; they're ethnic groups, which still don't include "American."
"i cant stop looking at her b...s :P"
I hear you, man. I'm having the same problem. Those boots look like they are crafted from high quality leather and have a unique design. They really draw the eyes and stand out. I can't help but stare at them.
Ive been confused are italians,irish,greek,scottish people white people? Are haitians black or hispanic, are philipinos asian or hispanic, Puerto Ricans Black or Hispanic im born and raised in america from a mexican mom and dad. Whenever i mark a box that ask what i am , i always check American is that right, i dont identify myself with mexican ghetto...or do they mean im Aryan Race if i choose american? the good thing is White is becoming a minority in the U.S.
i bet there were a lot of hidden "blades" at that party, amiright?
...are you suggesting that these ladies are transvestites?
haha classic, you sir deserve a bubble for that.
Don't have to tell me twice. Those girls are beyond hot.
"There are some women you'd just love to have kill ya."
-Leslie Nielsen
I know i wouldn't mind that lady in the pic cornering me. bonus points if she does her best xenia onnatopp impression with her legs.
i would kiss the person who could give me this girl's name. shes has a very beautiful face.
is it just me? because everytime i look at her my eyes cant stop looking at her perfectly shaped boobs
this is news?
the best kind of news. especially for me since I'm a lonely B*stard.
(goes into stalker mode to find out who this girl is
I believe her name is Jessica Cambensy. Fap away.
apparently 6 people thinks she's not hot. poor souls
am i the only one who doesnt find the chick hot? (after going through the whole set)
Video is better.
Very nice! ^^ oh and the game looks good.. lol
Without a doubt, one of the finest Asian chicks I've ever seen.
Maybe I'm strange but I'm not even looking at her boobs in most of thise pics. It's her face that caught my eye. She's absolutely gorgeous!
The girl dressed as Aveline ain't half bad either.
Ugh, curse my one track mind.
I have to say, as a man with a love for attractive women in high heels, as a gamer, seeing that girl dressed as an assassin, in high heels, I like very much. We need more game heroines in heels, methinks. :)
The woman in white is one of the hottest chicks ive ever seen.. Thats wifey right there lol
Seriously perverts. This your first time seeing boobs? Whats the big de....*catches a glimpse and shuts up*
Now that's an assassin I would love to meet...
Now that's an assassin I would love to meat...
Game?, I see no game..
Yep this is what this article should be about. I can find girls even hotter than this one with a quick Google search anyway.
The model in white Assassin's Creed's outfit is famed Hong Kong model "Jessica C".
Jessica Tess Cambensy is her full name. She's from Chicago, USA. half filipino, half American (not sure ethnicity). There is a supposed collection of her past sex photos with an ex. Not sure if it's legit.
We all love beautiful women, but now you all know a little bit more than just that pretty exterior.
Ubi! please make an AC game with the main character based on that pretty model. X)
I don't know what kind of party they were having, but i'm in.
Damn I'd like to take a leap of faith into her
Dem Tizz, dem tights, dat bod, dat face, dat skin, dat hair, dat smile.
I'm dying here.

Where is the best place to take baby pictures?
Baby pictures are among the most popular types of portrait photography, and most newborn photographers are well versed in the best places to take baby pictures in their local areas. Some newborn photographers will come to the hospital to shoot the baby within a day or two of birth, while others have set up their studios to accommodate the needs of infants. Some parents prefer to have the newborn photographer come to their home or travel to a favorite park or other outdoor location. Like any portrait photography, the best place to take baby pictures is the place you like best and that will yield the types of photos you want of your baby, whether that's posed and carefully lit studio portraits or spontaneous, casual photos at home. Work with a local newborn photographer to find a safe, calm location with great lighting and some privacy for your family.
How much does baby photography cost?
Portrait photography provides parents with lasting images of the first whirlwind months of a newborn's life. The cost varies based on several factors, including the length and location of the session, the number of photos provided, and the amount of editing and retouching the photographer does. The national average cost for baby photos is $150-$200. Some baby photographers charge by the number of photos provided, typically ranging from an average of $299 for 20 high-resolution edited photos, to an average of $399 for 35 photos, to $499 for all of the images taken in a single session. Props and location affect the cost, too; an elaborate studio shoot with props and professional lighting may increase the cost to $600-$700 for 20-50 photos. Adding a second location or asking the photographer to travel can add $70-$250 to the cost of the session. Photographers may also charge extra fees for providing additional photos and DVDs, scheduling weekend sessions, and shooting siblings. Expect to pay at least a $50 deposit when you book a portrait photography session.
When should you take newborn photos?
Few styles of portrait photography are as tricky as newborn photos — the unpredictable infant is always in charge! The best way to ensure a successful photo shoot is to work with a local newborn photographer within the first two weeks of the baby's life. Some photographers even work with hospitals to offer newborn sessions within a day of the baby's birth. But newborn photographers usually recommend scheduling a shoot during the baby's first two weeks of life, while the baby is still sleepy and relatively cooperative, especially for posed or studio shots. During this time, babies are easier to swaddle in blankets and dress in hats or headbands, and, because they often nap or nurse, can be staged with various props or be cuddled by their parents. For casual photos, most newborn photographers recommend shooting within the first six weeks of a baby's life. Lifestyle portrait photography is more flexible and doesn't require the baby to cooperate with multiple poses or props.

Certain questions must be asked before you get serious with someone.
"Do you want to live in the city or the suburbs?"
"Do you want kids?"
"What's your religious affiliation?"
And, of course: "Do you like books?"
So began Audrey Grahame's email to Jeff Raden. "Do you want to go to the Lit Fest?" she asked.
Jeff said yes.
Little did she know that they would spend 14 hours at the festival that day. Or that they would be married at the Lit Fest two years later. Or that they would return with their 17-month-old son three years after that.
Audrey and Jeff's love began on OKCupid.com, though coincidentally they had just missed meeting each other twice before.
"I lived in Mount Prospect for eight years. I moved out right before Audrey moved in," Jeff said. "We went to the same college (Northern Illinois University) a couple years apart."
"We were in the same program," Audrey and Jeff said in unison. This was the first of many thoughts they would finish together.
At their first festival together, they wandered the stalls. Audrey bought the letters A-Z in wooden type blocks. They took in some poetry readings, though the specifics are hazy.
"I was just so focused on him," Audrey said. "His ability to carry on a conversation was one of the things that drew me to him. I had been on so many dates that were like interviews, where you had to think of a good question to ask and a good answer to have, but with him I kept thinking, 'Man, this guy can naturally converse.'"
"It was a great place to go on a first date because at every booth you can find something to talk about," Jeff added. "You see a travel book and then you start talking about where you've been."
They wandered over to the Blues Festival, which happened to be on the same weekend that year, and they had dinner at Hackney's. They also shared their first kiss.
"As we were walking in the train station, he stopped in front of me and gave me an excellent kiss," Audrey said. "All these people were walking around us. It was pretty romantic."
A little more than a year later, over bowls of chili and bags of Fritos at a friend's barbecue, Jeff proposed to Audrey.
Audrey said yes.
Then they began the hunt to find a unique wedding venue. They didn't want to have the wedding that everybody has: the church, the catering, the banquet hall — it wasn't them. A little more than five weeks before the 2009 Lit Fest, Audrey had a "eureka!" moment. Why not get married at Lit Fest?
"At first I was thinking we would just grab a justice of the peace and a couple of witnesses and sort of get married guerrilla style at the Lit Fest," Audrey said. "But I didn't want the festival's organizers to get upset or for us to end up in jail on our wedding day, so I called and the Tribune was more than welcoming. They gave us a little space and everything. It was awesome."
Their wedding was attended by 40 close friends and family members — and countless strangers. "In some of our pictures you can see people staring at us with a look of pure confusion on their faces," Jeff said.
"After the wedding, a guy came up to us ... and gave us two books and said, 'Here's your first wedding present.'" Jeff said. "They were a Michelle Obama comic book and another book about Michelle Obama."
The newly married couple went back to the type block stand that they had visited two years earlier. Audrey picked out the letters for "Mr. and Mrs. Raden." When she went to pay, the stall owner told her there was no charge.
It was the pair's second wedding present.
About a year and a half after that, the couple welcomed Daniel Anton Raden into their family. At this year's Lit Fest, the 17-month-old blond was all smiles, apparently enjoying the Fest's hustle and bustle.
This year Audrey bought the type block "S" and letters for the word "the."
Like a literary baby's first holiday ornament, the letters marked Daniel's first Lit Fest and the family's transformation from "Mr. and Mrs. Raden" to "The Radens."
Love lesson: It's easy to forget about the places that were important when you were dating. Consider a day, or weekend, to revisit the spots where you fell in love.

For each Jacobian function, Table 22.4.1 gives its periods in the -plane in the left column, and the position of one of its poles in the second row. The other poles are at congruent points, which is the set of points obtained by making translations by , where . For example, the poles of , abbreviated as in the following tables, are at .
Three functions in the same column of Table 22.4.1 are copolar, and four functions in the same row are coperiodic.
Table 22.4.2 displays the periods and zeros of the functions in the -plane in a similar manner to Table 22.4.1. Again, one member of each congruent set of zeros appears in the second row; all others are generated by translations of the form , where .
Figure 22.4.1 illustrates the locations in the -plane of the poles and zeros of the three principal Jacobian functions in the rectangle with vertices , , , . The other poles and zeros are at the congruent points.
For the distribution of the -zeros of the Jacobian elliptic functions see Walker (2009).
Figure 22.4.2 depicts the fundamental unit cell in the -plane, with vertices , , , . The set of points , , comprise the lattice for the 12 Jacobian functions; all other lattice unit cells are generated by translation of the fundamental unit cell by , where again .
Using the p,q notation of (22.2.10), Figure 22.4.2 serves as a mnemonic for the poles, zeros, periods, and half-periods of the 12 Jacobian elliptic functions as follows. Let p,q be any two distinct letters from the set s,c,d,n which appear in counterclockwise orientation at the corners of all lattice unit cells. Then: (a) In any lattice unit cell has a simple zero at and a simple pole at . (b) The difference between p and the nearest q is a half-period of . This half-period will be plus or minus a member of the triple ; the other two members of this triple are quarter periods of .

Reflection can be a handy tool when you need it, but how many times have you actually found a use for it in the past few applications you've written? Jani Hartikainen has one suggestion of a place it can be used - form generation.
Most web applications use forms. Forms often represent some model, such as a news post. If the model is simple, writing the form in HTML is not too bad, or we might be able to use a scaffolding feature in our framework. [...] Here's a good use for reflection! Since in models we often have a naming scheme for the data the users would be able to input, we can utilize this knowledge with reflection to generate a list of possible fields in the model, and then generate the form with less typing required from us.
His example looks into the model class and pulls out the "get" functions and, after pulling out the name, adds it to a fields array. This array is then passed out to the display part of the script and looped over to create a text field for each. He expands it a bit to also include checking for "@return" values in docblock comments for the type of form field that should be displayed.

ETSU (18-10) swept seven conference foes this season; however, Mercer dealt the Lady Bucs a pair of losses - marking the first time since joining the league the Bears have been able to accomplish the feat.
The Lady Bucs enter the General Shale Brick A-Sun Championships having won their last seven games in the
Mercer (17-13) earned its way into Friday's first semifinal game after knocking off Stetson, 84-51, on Thursday afternoon. As a team, the Bears shot 57.1 percent from the field and assisted on 20 of their 36 made field goals. Four Mercer players scored in double figures, with Kourtney Carter leading the way (16 points on 8-of-8 shooting).
Both Mercer and ETSU should know each other quite well, as these teams faced off last Saturday inside
ETSU and Mercer have also faced off twice in A-Sun tournament play. The Lady Bucs knocked off Mercer, 83-62, in the quarterfinals of the 2008 conference tournament, and the Bears defeated ETSU in overtime, 59-56, in the quarterfinals on the 2006 tournament in

The Soviet-built An-24 twin-engined turboprop carrying soccer fans headed for a match against a German team crashed while trying to land at Donetsk airport Wednesday evening. Of the 44 passengers and eight crew on board, five were killed and nine others injured.
Donetsk Prosecutor Volodymyr Vyshinsky said the plane, which was flying from the Black Sea port of Odessa, grazed the weather station with its left wing as it was approaching the landing strip, then hit the ground with its right wing and broke into two pieces.
Airport weather stations are slim, unmanned towers that hold the sensors and measuring equipment that record weather data. They are separate from the airport's control tower.
Investigators are considering pilot error, faulty ground support equipment and poor weather conditions as possible causes.
Witnesses said the plane quickly caught fire. Passengers were able to escape from the burning aircraft through a hole in the fuselage left by the crash.
The plane's pilot Serhiy Meloshenko blamed bad weather for the accident.
"There was heavy fog," Meloshenko told Channel 5 television in a weak voice from a hospital bed. "The landing strip was poorly visible, or to be more precise, it was not visible at all."
Yuri Molod, head of South Airlines, which operated the flight, told the 1+1 TV channel that the plane was in good condition and blamed the pilot for the crash-landing. Molod said the pilot should not have landed in the fog and should have diverted to another airport.
South Airlines is a small company that mainly operates domestic flights out of the Black Sea port of Odessa. Its planes were ordered grounded pending an investigation into the crash.
The An-24, which first entered service in 1959, is a medium-range plane that has remained a mainstay of carriers across the former Soviet Union even though production ended in 1978. It wasn't clear when the crashed plane was built.
In recent years, former Soviet republics have seen a series of deadly crashes that has tarnished the region's air safety record. Experts blame them on poor maintenance of aging planes, weak government controls, insufficient pilot training and a cost-cutting mentality among carriers.

Canada overflowing with Olympic talent at centerby Dan Rosen
CALGARY -- Steve Yzerman won't do it, but the option is available to Canada's executive director.
The fact Yzerman could select at least 12 centers to be on Canada's Olympic team says all anybody needs to know about the depth the country has at the position.
"For other teams maybe it's wing or maybe it's [defensemen], but with us everyone seems to talk about center ice," Sidney Crosby told NHL.com. "But a lot of the guys have played different positions, and if they have to play wing they'll be comfortable there."
They'd better be, because that will be the case when Canada gets to Sochi, Russia, in February for the 2014 Winter Olympics. Yzerman told NHL.com on Tuesday he will not be taking 12 centers, but he all but guaranteed some natural centers will have to make the team as wings.
That message was sent Monday when coach Mike Babcock put the 45 players in attendance here at Canada's Olympic orientation camp through a ball hockey-style walkthrough on the international-sized rink.
Natural centers Steven Stamkos, Logan Couture and Eric Staal were on the wing. Jeff Carter, who occasionally plays in the middle, also was on the wing. Two more centers would have been if Claude Giroux (injury rehab) and Joe Thornton (family matter) were here.
Crosby, Jonathan Toews, Ryan Getzlaf, Mike Richards, John Tavares, Matt Duchene, Patrice Bergeron and Jordan Staal were centers on their respective lines.
"If you're here and you're standing on the wing, you think you've been told anything?" Babcock asked rhetorically in an interview with NHL.com Tuesday morning.
The answer is yes, they're going to play wing for Canada if they make the Olympic team. Fine by us, the centers say.
"Every player is willing to play a different role on this team to make the team," Stamkos said.
Canada could have a distinct advantage up front over other countries because of how its center depth will move over onto the wings. For example, one of the biggest requirements to make this team, according to Yzerman and the coaches, is the ability to play a 200-foot game. Centers are used to that, so the more the merrier, Babcock said.
"The game is played with the first guy back playing down low, and centers are better down low because they spend more time down low," Babcock said. "Well, I'll take three centers."
Crosby echoed that thought.
"As a centerman, sometimes you're not always able to get [down low] right away and sometimes the wingers aren't comfortable there, so to have guys who are comfortable and are used to covering all areas of the ice that can definitely help," he said. "You have to be responsible down low."
Crosby also mentioned how having extra centers on the ice will help Canada play a puck-possession style, an important part of the international game.
"Even carrying the puck, especially on the big ice, there will be centers carrying it more, and that could help," he said.
Faceoffs are another point of emphasis, and the more centers a team has on the ice the better chance it has to win the draw.
"If you get tossed out you've got another natural centerman taking the draw," assistant coach Claude Julien told NHL.com. "It's a strength."
It also will be an adjustment for the centers to move to wing. It's not as big a challenge as it would be for a wing to move to the middle when he's not used to the extra responsibilities in the defensive zone, but Stamkos said he had to learn and adjust to the differences when he played on Giroux's wing at the IIHF World Championship earlier this year.
-- Steven Stamkos
Yzerman said it could have been a bit of foreshadowing for Sochi.
"As a centerman you can kind of roam around," Stamkos said. "I found myself trying to creep into the middle of the ice a bit, but once you realize that you stay wide and you can utilize your speed to stay down the boards and create chances, that's when it clicked. It was fine after a couple of games."
Tavares, who has been a center since joining the NHL, went through a similar adjustment playing in Switzerland during the lockout last year. He played 25 games as a left wing then continued to play there at the Spengler Cup.
"I had to do a better job when I was first getting adjusted to take more ice, whether it's to the boards or the middle, just to give myself more time and more space and a better gap to be able to attack offensively and be more dynamic that way," Tavares told NHL.com. "Your responsibilities are different."
That's one reason Yzerman won't take 12 centers, even though he could and Canada would still be able to ice a gold-medal contender. Although centers are capable of handling a more in depth workload, Yzerman said he can't ignore the importance of having wings doing what they do best.
"You have to appreciate the little things wingers do and that's being good on the wall, picking up pucks, getting them out of the zone, angling on forechecking position," Yzerman said. "We're not going to bring 13 or 14 centermen. We have to have some wingers who are used to playing those positions, but it's fair to say we'll probably bring more than four centermen."

A criminal has failed to return to an open prison after being given leave.
Police are appealing for help tracing Leon Brown, who was serving a six-and-a-half year sentence for firearms offences at Hollesley Bay in Suffolk.
He was given leave to go to an address in South Ockendon, Essex, on Monday and was due to return by 3.30pm today.
But Suffolk Police said: "He failed to show up and was reported as missing to the police."
Brown, 34, is described as white, around 5ft 10in tall, with black hair, brown eyes, and is clean shaven. He has connections to the Tottenham area of north London.
Police said anyone who may have seen him or have information on his whereabouts should contact officers.
They added: "You should not approach him or take any further action."

Lukas Smith has a quick post today about some of the tension that's come up between to PEAR error handling packages and something he's created to try to help calm things down.
Well there is a lot of back and forth about if PEAR should mandate PEAR_Error or PEAR_Exceptions or neither for new packages. This also relates to the question of PHP5 E_STRICT compliance which PEAR_Error obviously is not.
His quick fix for the problem? Two proxy classes that would make switching between either of the two error handling classes as simple as changing out which proxy you're using.

State Attorneys General to Coordinate Enforcement Of Microsoft Antitrust Judgments; Offer Online Complaint Form at New Web Site
States involved in enforcing federal court judgments against Microsoft over illegal monopoly conduct announced today the creation of a centralized web site offering an online complaint form to report suspected violations of the final judgments.
The complaint form and consolidated public information on the major antitrust case brought by 18 states and the District of Columbia is available at http://www.microsoft-antitrust.gov. Complaints may be submitted anonymously to the state attorneys general and otherwise will be treated confidentially as directed by U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.
Although the court issued two separate antitrust judgments in the states' case, the states involved have decided to coordinate enforcement of their respective judgments. The states are organized as the "California Group," which sought remedies through litigation, and the "New York Group," which settled its antitrust complaint against Microsoft. The California Group consists of California, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Utah and the District of Columbia. The New York Group consists of Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin.
Through an agreement between these states and the U.S. Department of Justice, complaints submitted to the site may be shared with the U.S. Department of Justice. Complaints may also be sent directly to the U.S. Department of Justice at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The states' web site was designed and implemented by the California Department of Justice and will be funded by enforcement funds provided by Microsoft to the "California Group" of states following issuance of the California Group's final judgment.
The court judgments generally prohibit Microsoft from retaliating against computer makers and software companies that offer or consider offering products that compete with Windows; require Microsoft to have uniform contracts with personal computer manufacturers; and require Microsoft to share software information that can be used to develop new software products.
The federal court judgments were issued after 19 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Justice Department went to trial on their antitrust complaint against Microsoft, and proved that the software giant was guilty of using its market dominance in personal computer operating systems to illegally squelch competition.

Improving science education in America a matter of mentoring
Cory Cleland has seen some pretty impressive research performed by high school students. The JMU neuroscientist has also seen some disappointing work and he knows there are students who have potential but don't give science a chance.
In each case, he said, a little bit of mentoring could go a long way toward making the good projects better, raising the level of mediocre work and inspiring students who only view science in unflattering stereotypes.
"One of the things I have observed is that the students sometimes have good science, good ideas, but they're clearly not well mentored," said Cleland, who has been judging high school science fairs the past four years, including the past two Intel International Science and Engineering Fairs.
One of the main shortcomings Cleland sees at science fairs is the inability of many students to present their work in meaningful ways. "It's just little things like, don't put the key statement of the entire poster down at the bottom, right next to a table," he said.
Another problem Cleland sees is students talking about their projects but not making a connection between what they say about their work and what they show on their posters. "Science is all about the data," he said. "And this is true even in college, students think the words have meaning. They don't. It's the data. What you take away from a graph—that has meaning. It would take half an hour with a student who is willing to listen to significantly improve the project."
Cleland has already had a hand in helping seven or eight high school students, including his daughter, with their research over the past several years. He worked with a student from Harrisonburg High School a couple years ago before she went to college and he is currently working with five students from the Massanutten Regional Governor's School in Mount Jackson. In the future, he hopes to develop a more formal summer program for high school students who are interested in research. "We have faculty here who are really focused on learning and teaching. It's a natural fit for us to be doing this," he said.
Ideally, such a program would also involve college researchers mentoring high school students and even top high school researchers mentoring their peers. "It's not that hard. It's just a matter of helping students to see what the logic is. Writing science is actually storytelling," Cleland said.
And perhaps Cleland will be able to spark the interests of some students who don't think science is for them. "Students who are not strong high school students, they're just not interested in science because memorizing is boring, which bottom line is most of high school science. And it shouldn't be," Cleland said. "Get them out in the field. Mentoring can benefit the top kids a great deal, but there's also the potential that others may benefit. Some of the students we might have lost otherwise."

In the quest for healthier sweeteners, many manufacturers have turned to organic brown rice syrup, but in the process may inadvertently have introduced high levels of arsenic into their products, researchers reported.
The syrup itself and products made from it – including toddler formula and energy bars – have significant concentrations of arsenic, according to Brian Jackson, PhD, and colleagues at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H.
In some cases, the levels are as much as six times higher than Environmental Protection Agency limits for safe drinking water, Jackson and colleagues reported online in Environmental Health Perspectives.
There are no U.S. regulations governing arsenic in food, although there are for drinking water, and the findings suggest "an urgent need" for such guidelines, the researchers concluded.
The Dartmouth group has previously shown that brown rice itself contains significant levels of arsenic, probably as a result of natural processes. Arsenic in the soil accumulates in the plant, with inorganic arsenic – the more toxic variety – building up in the outermost layer, which is removed when the rice is polished.
Because of the increasing use of organic brown rice syrup, the researchers suspected it too might increase arsenic in the diet. To test the hypothesis, they used mass spectrometry techniques to analyze the arsenic content of the syrups themselves and a range of products made with and without brown rice syrup.
Analysis of three commercially available brown rice syrups, including two different lots of one brand, found total arsenic concentrations ranging from 80 to 400 nanograms per gram.
The proportion of inorganic arsenic was between 80% and 90% of the total for two of the three syrups, but only 50% for the third. However, that product had a much higher total arsenic, so its concentration of the inorganic species also was the highest, Jackson and colleagues reported.
The researchers also analyzed 17 formulas, 15 without organic brown rice syrup and two that did contain it – a dairy- and a soy-based product.
In the products without the syrup, the total arsenic concentrations were between 2 and 12 ng/g. In the other two, concentrations were more than 20 times higher, Jackson and colleagues found.
The proportion of inorganic arsenic varied both between products and between lots of the soy-based product, the researchers reported, but when they were reconstituted, the concentration was at or above the U.S. regulatory limit for safe drinking water: 10 mcg/L.
In one lot of the reconstituted soy-based product, the total arsenic concentration was more than 60 mcg/L, they found.
On the positive side, the researchers noted, a web-based search found only those two products containing the syrup on the formula market, so the number of children using this formula "is presumably a very low percentage."
Analyses found similar results in cereal-based energy bars and so-called energy shots, gel-like blocks sold as high-energy athletic performance products, the researchers reported.
A savvy consumer, the researchers noted, might be aware of the link between rice and arsenic, but that link might not be apparent in either baby formula or the energy shots.
Taken together, the findings suggest that the product using organic brown rice syrup "may introduce significant concentrations of (inorganic arsenic) to an individual's diet," Jackson and colleagues concluded.
The study had support from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the Environmental Protection Agency. The journal said none of the authors have any actual or potential competing financial interests.

18-Year-Old Girl Raped & Beaten By 6 Men After Being Denied Entry To Concert In Chicago! (Left In A Coma)
"Chicago police are questioning several people of interest in a brutal sexual assault that left an 18-year-old woman from the Northwest suburbs in a coma. The woman, who police were previously unable to identify because she didn't have identification, was attacked just after 9:30 p.m. Saturday night after leaving the D.J. Rusko concert at the Congress Theater. The woman was found naked on a lawn near Milwaukee and Rockwell Streets in the Logan Square neighborhood. Theater employees say the woman was denied entry to the New Year's Eve concert because she didn't have her ID. After leaving the 17-and- up concert, she was brutally attacked and beaten by as many as 6 men." - WGN

DETROIT (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co (F.N) posted a higher-than-expected first-quarter profit on the strength of its North American unit, but overall structural costs spiked as the company took steps to re-invest in its global lineup and shore up its European operations.
The No. 2 U.S. automaker paid an additional $900 million in manufacturing, engineering and other costs partly due to its efforts to ensure that Ford cars and trucks remain attractive in an increasingly competitive market for new vehicles.
Under Chief Executive Alan Mulally, Ford is looking to build more vehicles off global platforms, or chassis, to cut costs and quicken product development. This year, Ford aims to build more than 85 percent of its volume using nine global platforms.
"It costs so much to engineer a vehicle," Mulally said during a conference call with analysts and reporters. "If you can do that and you can then provide that vehicle to all four regions of the world and everyone is sharing in that engineering expense, clearly all parts of the business are benefiting.
"We actually can more rapidly and more realistically expand our offerings around the world to a degree that we never have been able to in the past," he added.
About 25 percent of the structural cost increase in the quarter stemmed from Ford's efforts to restructure operations in Europe, where an economic downturn has hit consumer demand for new cars and trucks, Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks said.
Higher costs also pinched Ford's margins in North America, despite an increase in sales and transaction prices. North American margins were 11 percent, historically high for the company, but slightly lower than some analysts expected.
Barclays Capital analyst Brian Johnson said in a research note that "Ford prefers to re-invest in the product content rather than see margins run into the mid-teens."
Ford posted a first-quarter pretax profit of $2.1 billion, or 41 cents per share. This topped the average analyst estimate of 37 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Revenue in North America, where Ford draws the bulk of its earnings, increased by one-fifth as a recovering U.S. housing market helped spur sales of the F-150 pickup truck.
Ford also reiterated that it expects to lose $2 billion in Europe this year, but added that its restructuring was on track.
Shanks told reporters that recent economic data in the region painted a cloudy picture of when Europe would eventually rebound. He added that automakers "seem to be running along the bottom now" in Europe. The industry may see some stabilization toward year-end or early 2014, he added.
During the quarter, Ford's market share in Europe was 7.7 percent. The company aims for European market share to be even with 2012, when the company held 7.9 percent of the market.
"So we clearly expect to do better as we move forward in the balance of the year," Shanks said.
Ford's first-quarter net income was $1.6 billion, or 40 cents per share, up from $1.4 billion a year earlier. Revenue rose to $35.8 billion from $32.4 billion.
Ford's pretax profit in North America reached its highest level since at least 2000, when it began reporting the region as a separate unit. The company posted a $2.4 billion profit there, with sales volume up 17 percent.
Ford lost $462 million in Europe, reflecting higher costs and the economic downturn's impact on consumer demand for new cars and trucks. In South America, Ford lost $218 million due to unfavorable exchange rates, particularly in Venezuela.
In Asia Pacific/Africa, Ford earned $6 million. In China, Ford's market share was 3.6 percent in the first quarter.
Fords shares were little changed at $13.36 in afternoon New York Stock Exchange trading.

Chair Taylor documented a quorum and called the meeting to order. He noted that there was only one item of business for the day, to review the proposed budget. Chair Taylor clarified that this discussion would recap last year's budget and provide a summary for the upcoming year, which would be linked to the strategic plan.
Chair Taylor asked Vice President Shuman to provide details on the upcoming year's budget.
Vice President Shuman began the discussion with a budget summary, with notables being that the overall recurring budget increased, even with a reduction in general revenue. But, the carry-forward amount used for nonrecurring priorities decreased.
The budget process was discussed, noting that the controlled spending committee remained in place and the vacancy pool committee continued its review process.
Vice President Shuman talked about three potential budget issues, listing these as (1) Legislative action regarding an employee benefit plan, (2) a legislated reduction in contribution for ORP and Investment Plan participants, and (3) this budget assumes the Board of Governors approves the 15 percent tuition differential.
Vice President Serwatka then provided an overview of UNF's goals and accomplishments for 2011-2012. He spoke about recognitions and new initiatives for these goals. Vice President Serwatka then discussed how resources were used toward the strategic plan, specifically, increases in distance learning, changing gatekeeper courses to gateway courses, increasing full-time faculty, reducing faculty/student ratio, improving the student profile and increasing retention rates.
Vice President Shuman picked up the discussion with sources and uses, specifically how the 2012-2013 E&G allocation was reached. She spoke about business units/auxiliaries, stating that each fund was reviewed by the committee, making sure reserves and fees were appropriate.
Chair Taylor asked trustees for questions and input regarding this discussion. Trustees spoke about the potential budget issues, asking that updates be provided at the upcoming Board meeting.
Chair Taylor adjourned the meeting.

We will be covering DEMA "live" with updates straight from the convention center in Orlando. This year's DEMA promises to be a great one for HD shooters, with a plethora of new housings to fit new cameras and some very useful accessories as well.
The video world was very excited when Sony announced the first small form factor 1080P camcorder, the HVR-V1 and the 1080i little brother the HDR-FX7. The Canadian-based Amphibico will be announcing the yet unnamed housing for those two currently unreleased cameras. The feature set will be similar to the Phenom housing for the HVR-Z1/HDR-FX1 and the acrylic port will be inherited as well.
The engineers at Montreal also have a Dive Buddy EVO HD housing for the HDR-UX1(DVD) and HDR-SR1(30GB Hard drive) camcorders. It includes a 3.5" LCD screen built into the back of the housing, eliminating the need for the housed external LCD monitor.
Unnamed housing for the HVR-V1
The new Dive Buddy EVO HD for the Sony HDR-SR1 with 3.5" LCD monitor back
California-based Gates has been very busy indeed as their lineup will show. They are also announcing two new housings plus a few accessories. There's a housing for the Sony HVR-V1/HDR-FX7 naturally, but in following with their product history, they will also have a housing for the new 3CCD Canon XHG1/A1 camcorders.
Gates will release a new high resolution 16:9 4.3"/110mm monitor called the EM43. It is powered by 8 AA batteries and auto PAL/NTSC and 1080/720 selection. For illumination, they have a new 50W HID250 lamp. This lamphead has a low temperature of 3800K vs normal HID which are over 5000K.
To steady all that new equipment, Gates also has a new tripod which has articulating legs that extend 7-18" so it'll fit all Gates housings.

Light & Motion
The people from Cannery Row, Monterey have redesigned the Bluefin HC3 housing for the Sony HDR-HC3. They've added a clear side window and control to operate the menu functions including manual white balance, telemacro mode, super slow motion and other functions
Sea & Sea
Sea & Sea will be showing off two new compact housings, the VX-S1 and VX-S2. The VX-S1 fits the Sony HDR-HC3 and DCR-DVD505. The VX S2 fits the HDR-UX1(DVD).
The new halogen lighthead, LX-33 is a 33W lamp with adjustable intensity and a built in lithium-ion battery that provides up to 140 minutes of continuous lighting. It has a filter that changes the temperature from 3200K to 4500K.
Sea & Sea VX-S1 and VX-S2
Seatool has a new aluminum housing for the Canon HV10. Nothing much is known about the housing but we do have a picture for those interested.
Seatool HV10 housing
As you can see, there are lots of exciting products coming from the manufacturers, especially in the HD camcorder range. I, for one, am very excited and hope to give an in depth review of these products and more from DEMA. Stay tuned!
All information is provided by the manufacturers and the products are/will be listed at their respective websites. We are happy to accept additional product releases from manufacturers.

Sorry Kardashian fans: you won't be seeing Kim's baby on television any time soon. The reality star, who is expecting her first child with rapper Kanye West later this year, says she is trying to keep her baby's life "as private as possible."
On Tuesday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kardasian said she plans to wait until her child is old enough to make his or her own choice about appearing on reality television.
"Our baby…it's not going to be on our show," she said. "When he or she decides that's what they want to do, then that will be a decision."
"From the start, as of now, that's just a personal choice that Kanye and I have made."
Kim's sister Kourtney also appeared on the late-night program and commented on her decision to let her children appear on both "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami."
"It's a struggle because you want to do the best thing for your kids," she said. "But a lot of the times I feel like them being with their mom is the best thing."
Do you think parents should let their kids appear on TV? Do you think Kim will stick to her word? Leave a comment.

The Allies' invasion of Normandy in 1944 was the beginning of the end of the Second World War. Thousands were killed, one priest among them, a chaplain in the United States Army.
Conventual Franciscan Father Ignatius Materkowski had been born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, in 1912, and was ordained in 1938. Parachuting into Normandy with his unit, he immediately searched for a building to be used as a hospital, concerned about the many wounded soldiers. Moving beyond secured areas, he removed his helmet, displayed his chaplain's insignia and a Red Cross badge, but a German sniper shot him in the back.
Jesuit Father Raymond Fitzgerald, ordained in 1991, president of Jesuit High School in New Orleans, Louisiana, noticed a while ago weakening in some of his muscles. After many studies, doctors diagnosed Lou Gehrig's disease, with no cure.
Announcing his condition to the school last winter, he said that he had found guidance in the "Spiritual Exercises" of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, and specifically in the saint's emphasis on faith. Father Fitzgerald believes that he has been called to praise, reverence and serve God.
According to legend, in A.D. 451, the Byzantine emperor asked if relics of the Virgin Mary could be brought to Constantinople. The bishop of Jerusalem replied that no relics existed as she had died in the presence of the Apostles who believed that her body then was taken, literally, into heaven with her soul. Pope Pius XII defined the dogma of the Assumption in 1950.
In 1964, The Priest had an article about increasing moral liberalism in Catholic college courses. Another centered on the criteria to be used in approving priesthood candidates. The Priest announced poll results of its priest-readers. They preferred the vernacular breviary — 93.3% over Latin.

G7152, New April 2005
The soybean or Dectes stem borer, Dectes texanus texanus LeConte, is a small, gray, long-horned beetle that attacks soybean and wild host plants. This is an occasional soybean pest in Missouri, and crop damage caused by this pest has been sporadic across parts of the state and growing seasons.
The Dectes stem borer overwinters as mature larvae within the stem of its host plants, and the adult beetles begin emerging sometime in late June or early July. The adult beetle is gray, about 3/8 inch long and somewhat flattened, with long, slender antennae (Figure 1). Eggs are elongated, shiny, tapered on both ends and initially yellowish before darkening to an amber color just before the larvae hatch. Newly hatched larvae are creamy white but darken as they mature. Larvae have an "accordion-like" appearance with an orange-red head and reach about 1/2 to 5/8 inch in length when they are fully mature (Figure 2). The pupal stage (yellowish white before turning dark brown before the adult emerges) lasts 8 to 10 days, and then the adults start emerging. After mating, the female beetle chews a small hole in the leaf petiole or the stem and then typically lays a single egg inside.
Figure 1
Dectes stem borer adult.
Figure 2
Dectes stem borer larva.
After hatching, the larvae feed for several days on the outer stem before they bore into the main stem (Figure 3). Typically, the petiole wilts and falls off the plant, leaving behind a reddish scar around the entrance hole. As the larva tunnels within the main stem, it feeds on the pith tissue (Figure 4). This damage can reduce the plant's ability to translocate water and soil nutrients to developing pods and seeds, and yield losses may occur in heavily infested fields.
In late summer, the larvae move to the base of the plant and girdle the interior of the stem approximately 2 inches above the soil surface (Figure 5). The larvae then plug the stem with their frass, creating a cell where they overwinter. This girdling stage can increase lodging during windy days or heavy rains as heavily damaged soybean plants mature.
Damage from this insect may coincide with increased no-till soybean plantings, which provide undistributed overwintering sites for the larval stage. Since the Dectes stem borer also feeds on important weed hosts (e.g., cocklebur, giant ragweed), the presence of these weeds in and around soybean fields can further increase the risk of Dectes stem borer infestations.
Figure 3
Dectes stem borer entrance hole in soybean stem.
Figure 4
Dectes stem borer larva and inner stem damage.
Figure 5
Dectes stem borer girdling damage.
Scouting procedures are difficult and limited for this insect in soybean fields. Beginning in late June or early July through August, adult beetles begin emerging and may be collected in sweep net samples. Thereafter, look for lodged plants, which may indicate the presence of Dectes stem borer infestations. Cut open the stem and look for the presence of the larva and its feeding damage. Counts of larvae and lodged plants will provide a useful basis for determining the appropriate cultural practices later in the season.
No insecticides are specifically labeled to control the Dectes stem borer, and insecticide applications are generally not recommended because it is extremely difficult to properly time applications. Emergence of the adult beetles is typically spread out over several weeks; therefore, multiple insecticide treatments would be needed to obtain effective control of these infestations.
Several cultural practices can be effectively employed to help reduce stand and yield losses from Dectes stem borer damage:

District 55 trustees honor We The People students
Blackfoot High School's [BHS] - seven-time state champions - We The People competitive government team was honored and presented with a $500 check from the City of Blackfoot at Thursday's school board meeting.
BHS government teacher Holly Kartchner has led the students to victory the past seven years and the team is now preparing to travel to Washington D.C. for the national competition where they will answer intense questions about government and the U.S. Constitution.
District officials made it it a point to recognize, not only Kartchner and the students, but the parents and volunteers behind the team.
