Brief background: I have one 5 year old boy and one 2 year old boy-no problems getting pregnant with them. Then had 1 miscarriage at 10 weeks (stopped developing by 6 though) and 2 chemical pregnancies, both which ended by 5 weeks. Tested high positive (64) for IgM cardiolipin antibodies. Got pregnant just after. Privately retested 8 weeks later - now negative (4.8).
I was have been on Fragmin injections (plus aspirin and progesterone). But I had an email from my misccaige midwife saying she had spoken to Mr Shehata (who I believe is well known and on the list of recommended specialists) and he has said he is happy for me to stop taking the Fragmin now due to the negative blood test.
So I happily didn't inject last night, only to spend all night worrying if this is definitely the best thing to do! Still waiting for an appointment to see a consultant on Mr Shehata's team.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation and been told to stop the Fragmin part way through pregnancy (but continue with aspirin)? I am nearly 12 weeks.
Thank you all once again for you support and advice...

Genesis of the FlowTracker concept
FlowTracker is an innovation over two decades in the making. Here is how the business problems came to our attention.
We first became aware of the business problem while working in Retail Banking finance. Our Wealth Management sales people we earning commissions based on a scale that rewarded them for "new money" sales... and there was no way to identify new money from internal transfers. Compounding the urgency of the issue was the growth in Mutual Funds sales, which were "cannibalizing" the bank's term deposit base to an unknown - but suspected to be very large - extent. We also realized that there were no really good metrics of lost business or "attrition" in retail banking.
Many bright people worked for a long time on the problem of product substitution measurement and never reached a truly satisfactory solution. As business priorities shifted, so did attention to the question of true metrics for retail bank business volume changes, but the underlying challenges remained unresolved.
The first prerequisite: databases that support Account and Product Analytics
The introduction of Management Information Systems that supported end-user analytics in banking was the beginning of a new age in analytics.
The time was the 80's and mass storage databases were really only starting to make inroads into the business management information space. What grew out of these new capabilities were new reporting paradigms: we could analyze information by branch location and by product right down to the account level for the first time.
These analyses had some false starts: compensation programs were aimed at account opening and closing activities and similarly misguided measures, largely because it was finally possible to micro manage to these metrics. Of course the result was that lots of accounts got opened without generating any real new business, and staff slowed account closing to a crawl, neither of which benefited customers or the bank.
What account based metrics did achieve, however, was the measurement of new and lost account volumes, as illustrated above. The limitation of these measures is that they don\'t identify whether we are dealing with new money, product substitutions or internal transfers between deposits and loans. Account analysis also offers little meaningful insight into account growth and reduction activity, since the source of the growth or reduction is unknown.
The second prerequisite: Customer Master Data (aka your CIF)
This enabled a substantial improvement in customer understanding and behavior analysis. The customer information systems added another dimension to measurement - customer - that could be layered on top of the knowledge gained from account and product analyses.
When the customer is the focal point of metrics, we can differentiate between new, ongoing and lost customers and superimpose those behaviors on the dimensions revealed by product and account analysis. For example, new customers are really a special case of product and account acquisition. Similarly lost customers are a special case of account and product attrition.
One major advantage of customer centric measurements is that when the customer is viewed in total, we can tell if their overall business volume is going up or down, because internal transfers among accounts cancel each other out. And of course, we know that when a customer is new or lost their business is certainly won or lost.
The third dimension: Patented Analysis of Business Flows
In both account and customer based analysis of portfolio changes the missing link has always been the problem of account and product substitution. When an account renews, for example, it is important for the bank too be able to tell that the new account is not a sale and the lost account is not attrition (as account analysis would indicate). It is also important not to overlook the fact that this event has taken place, even though no new business has been generated (a customer centric view would see no change).
What we need is an analytic method that can identify where changes we see in customer and account business come from and are going to. It is meaningful to know that customers are renewing - or not. It is meaningful to be able to "see" product substitutions apart from sales and attrition. It is also helpful to know whether significant behaviors like borrowing to invest or liquidating investments to pay down debt are happening in our customer relationships.
This "funding" dimension is the key to differentiating between "real" new and lost business and internal changes in our customer relationships. Both are important to understanding both the performance of the products, locations and people and the quality, nature and behavior of our customer base.
Putting it all together : FlowTracker
Combining the analysis of behavior in the account/product dimension, customer dimension and business flow dimension simultaneously is what FlowTracker is all about. The result is a set of "cells" of behavior that are identified specifically for each individual account in your database.
The power of the FlowTracker innovation lies in it's ability to subset observable changes in business volume into meaningful cells. You can identify all of the permutations and combinations of customer behavior that affect your portfolio, and reconcile completely and exactly to the portfolio at large.
This means that you can explicitly and reliably quantify the results of your marketing campaigns, sales activities, attrition/retention programs, product substitution and cannibalization, cross sales and fully understand the who, what when and where of customer events and behavior.

Baltimore fire officials are investigating how a home in Northeast Baltimore burst into flames early Wednesday morning just hours after an earlier fire at the same address had been brought under control.
Both fires rose to two alarms, the fire department said.
The first fire caused significant damage to the basement and first and second floors of the home in the 4800 block of Greencrest Road, in the city's Frankford neighborhood, officials said.
The fire was contained to the home, but smoke damage was sustained by an adjacent home, officials said.
The residents of the home were not there when the fire broke out, and no injuries were reported, officials said. The fire was placed under control at 12:25 a.m.
About five hours later, a second fire in the home broke out, possibly caused by embers from the first fire that hadn't been fully extinguished, officials said.
That fire had also been brought under control as of 7 a.m., a fire dispatcher said.
Officials are now investigating the causes of both fires.
Douglas Lent, a spokesman for the
He said the volunteers were not aware of how the second fire started.

Most of the early Internet malware were simple programs created by bored amateurs. But it's not 1999 anymore. As the Internet has grown more sophisticated, so has malware. A new report from Kaspersky labs dissects what could be the most sophisticated malware yet discovered in the wild.
The software, dubbed Careto, is a sophisticated suite of tools for compromising computers and collecting a wealth of information from them. Whoever is behind the malware sends out "spear phishing" e-mails, with addresses designed to be mistaken for the Web sites of mainstream newspapers, such as The Washington Post or the Guardian. If the user clicks on a link, it takes her to a Web site that scans her system for vulnerabilities and attempts to infect it. There are multiple versions of the malicious software designed to attack Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions, and Kapersky believes there may be versions that attack iOS and Android.
Once Careto has compromised a system, it begins collecting sensitive information from it. The software can "intercept network traffic, keystrokes, Skype conversations, analyse WiFi traffic, PGP keys, fetch all information from Nokia devices, screen captures and monitor all file operations."
It can also capture any encryption keys found on the machine, which can help launch attacks against other machines. The software has a plug-in architecture, allowing the attacker to dynamically load new software to perform tasks such as monitoring keystrokes or capturing the victim's email.
Early malware spread uncontrolled from computer to computer. In contrast, Careto is highly targeted. Kaspersky was able to gather data about who was subject to attacks. Most of the attacks targeted government institutions, embassies, oil and gas companies, research organizations, private equity firms and activists.
Computers around the world were targeted, with no apparent pattern:
So who's behind the malware? It's likely that only national intelligence agencies have the resources to build software of this complexity and sophistication. Fragments of Spanish embedded in the software's files suggest that the culprit is a native Spanish speaker. But it's not clear which Spanish-speaking nation would build such a sophisticated intelligence operation. And the researchers note that the fragments of Spanish may be a "false flag" operation: The software's authors may have deliberately inserted Spanish slang into the software's source code to divert attention from the real authors.
Regardless, the emergence of the malware underscores that software-based espionage is an important new source of power. Last year, documents leaked by Edward Snowden revealed that the National Security Agency has a large "Tailored Access Operations" department dedicated to building offensive hacking capabilities. If the NSA didn't build Careto, it's a safe bet that they have something like it. And intelligence agencies in China, Russia and other great powers are likely working on software like it too.


The A1B reactor is an aircraft carrier nuclear reactor that is in development by the United States Navy. It will be used in the USS Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers to provide electrical and motor energy, and is set to be commissioned in 2016. This nuclear reactor is optimized to provide substantial amounts of power towards one of the most massive ships in United States naval history.
The A1B reactor was developed for a specific purpose. The USS Gerald R. Ford, a class of carriers in development, would be the new class of carriers in the US Navy and they required a new type of reactor to replace the ones used on its predecessor, the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. The A1B nuclear reactor provides modernized technology that is both more advanced and adaptable then previous reactor technology. It will make advances in both naval travel and nuclear power development.
The naming of reactors is based on the type, generation, and manufacturer. The type of reactor is an aircraft carrier. The Bechtel Corporation designed the new reactors. They have provided nuclear energy assistance to the United States government for land based nuclear plants, as they have "performed engineering and/or construction services on more than 80 percent of nuclear plants in the United States." This is the first reactor that they have produced for naval operations for the United States. These circumstances lead to the naming of the reactor.
- A = Aircraft Carrier
- 1 = maker's first-generation core design
- B = Bechtel, the company that manufactures the reactor
Prior to the development of the A1B reactor, there have been decades of nuclear powered naval vessels in the United States Navy. Most recently, the A4W reactors have been the main source of power for the predecessor to the USS Gerald R. Ford-class carriers, the Nimitz-class. These A4W reactors power the propulsion and electricity to the Nimitz carriers. The reactor has been criticized recently for contributing to the Nimitz class's biggest problem, electrical power generation capability. Those reactors do not provide the optimal level of energy to power all the electrical components of the ship. The A1B reactor works to solve that problem for the next generation of massive carriers.
Aircraft carriers contain nuclear reactors that provide all the electrical and motor energy to the ship by taking the processes of splitting enriched uranium in order to produce heat and convert water to steam in order to do work on turbines. This process is the same as land based nuclear reactors. The new carrier reactors tote quite different parameters than previous aircraft carrier reactors. With increased efficiency and reduced weight making it more optimal for newly designed ships. The ships will allow for more systems on the ship to be fully electrically powered, also allowing for more manpower to be free. By reducing the maintenance required, more manpower can be diverted elsewhere on the ship. Two of the A1B reactors will power the ship, each providing enhanced capabilities.
The A1B reactor sets itself apart by producing three times the energy in each reactor than its predecessor could produce. Being able to produce 300 megawatts (MW) of electricity each, this extra energy will allow the ship to maintain high speeds and to fulfill its high power consumption. The A1B uses "50% fewer valves, piping, pumps, condensers, and generators."
Size and Interface
Besides improvements to power processes, the A1B reactor has other noticeable advantages. Compared to the Nimitz-class carriers' A4W, the A1B is smaller and weighs less. This makes it easier to maintain.
The interface and screens of the components of the reactor have become much easier to understand and interact with in order to reduce confusion. This in combination with the reduced size allows maintenance to be limited and not as frequently required, increasing efficiency and productivity as it is easier to control, fix, and maintain. Additionally, the new technology provides the flexibility that allows the system to be upgraded easily and adapt quickly.
There is a split view on nuclear power in the United States. According to a Gallup poll in 2016, 44% of Americans favor nuclear energy, and 54% oppose nuclear power. This is the first time since the poll began that a majority of Americans are opposed to nuclear energy, a sharp turn from the previous year. However, overall there has been "6,200 reactor-years of accident-free experience" in the US Navy's nuclear powered ships. And according to a statement of Admiral F. L. Bowman, the US Navy Director of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, made in 2003 before the House Committee on Science, nuclear powered vessels in the US Navy have sailed over "128 million miles since 1953". Since that time, those numbers have continued to improve, as from a report by the Department of Energy along with the Department of the Navy presents. It has increased from 6,200 to 6,500 reactor-years and from 128 million to "over 151 million miles safely steamed on nuclear power." This consistency contributes to the argument of the safety of nuclear power, and how ideal it is considering its power output and as a safe alternative for our environment. The A1B reactor contributes to the legacy by providing a reactor that needs less supervision and maintenance due to the safety of its design, and the history supporting its production and use.

It’s been over 25 years since Ronnie Van Zant and two other members of Lynyrd Skynyrd died in a plane crash. In all that time, no one has stepped up to assume Skynyrd’s mantle as the preeminent Southern rock band. Only the Allman Brothers Band offer any real competition, and their lengthy jams seem like such an antithesis to Skynyrd’s tight, driving rock that the comparison doesn’t feel like it holds much water. Of the new bands, the Drive-by Truckers (even without the presence of Southern Rock Opera to link them to Skynyrd) hold the most promise of lending songwriting respectability to loud songs about bars, lost farms, guns, and toolin’ around looking for trouble. The Truckers, though, don’t come close to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s radio-friendly sound.
If you grew up in the South (or anywhere under the sway of classic rock radio), there’s a part of you that’s eternally tired of Skynyrd, a part of you that will die happy if it never hears “Freebird” again. But once a song like “Gimme Three Steps”, “Gimme Back My Bullets”, or “That Smell” starts, you have to admit a few things to yourself: Skynyrd had great production that made every guitar as clear as a bell, those guitars played some of the best riffs this side of Zeppelin, and Skynyrd knew how to make good use of backup singers. Skynyrd’s best songs were clear, focused, and full of serious groove. The fact that Ronnie Van Zant often railed against handguns, vented at his record company, pleaded for his life, or gave Neil Young the finger (it’s unfortunate that “Sweet Home Alabama” is probably responsible for Skynyrd concerts featuring more Confederate flag waving than a Civil War reenactment, but at least the song was sincere and about something) makes it all the better. Heck, even a straight-up party song like “Down South Jukin'” is a songwriting class all by itself.
It’s amazing to look at the dates and realize that Skynyrd’s prime covered a scant four years (with roughly seven years of hardship and dues-paying before getting signed), and it’s just as disheartening to realize that the current Skynyrd — a pale shadow of the band’s former glory, trudging on as original members continue to die — has been hitting the road and releasing records since 1988. The result is a mixed legacy, and there’s not much argument that most of the band’s spark died with Ronnie Van Zant.
Thyrty attempts to bring those two worlds together, and the results are typically mixed. The disc hamstrings itself out of the gate with an arbitrary strategy of including at least one song from each Skynyrd album (not counting numerous weird titles like Extended Versions: Encore Collection, Solo Flytes, or several of the numerous live albums which probably use the letter “y” in creative, spellchecker-taxing ways). So right away, you get some of the usual suspects — “I Ain’t the One”, “Tuesday’s Gone”, “Call Me the Breeze”, etc. — but you also lose a few classics like “On the Hunt” and “Don’t Ask Me No Questions”. A few others appear as live cuts (“Whiskey Rock-a-Roller” and “Simple Man” both come from the band’s 1976 show at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre which yielded the excellent One More from the Road, although “Gimme Back My Bullets” comes from 1997’s less than stellar Southern by the Grace of God).
To be fair, Thyrty does a pretty good job of distilling classic Skynyrd, even throwing in a couple of surprises. The seldom heard “Was I Right or Wrong?” (from Skynyrd’s First . . . and Last) is a strong cut in the “Simple Man” mold that features a formative section of “Gimme Three Steps”. “Need All My Friends” (from 2000’s Skynyrd Collectybles) is an intriguing curiosity because of its uncanny Rush guitar tones. The biggest task that Thyrty faces is spit-shining everything that’s been released since the reunion tour in 1988. That comes up to six latter-day studio cuts appearing on Thyrty. “Smokestack Lightning” is a passable stab at Skynyrd’s boogie woogie sound, but “The Last Rebel” is pretty hamfisted in its use of a marching snare drum and other blatant emotional cues. The acoustic version of “Things Goin’ On” is OK as a piece of front-porch blues, while “Talked Myself Right Into It” and “Workin'” are standard roadhouse rockers. The newest cut, from this year’s Vicious Cycle can’t decide whether to be a Southern rock barnburner or some kind of Dokken tribute. All in all, as a distillation of post-crash Skynyrd, the songs show the band to still be able-bodied, but without the spark necessary to raise their new material over the bar.
That aside, Thyrty‘s an OK collection — for what it is. If you’re looking for just the classic hits, you’re better off tracking down 1979’s lean, no-nonsense Gold & Platinum, or whatever greatest hits package has since replaced it (or heck, the original albums). Thyrty, however, has a specific purpose: to show the band from its humble beginnings to the present. While that presents some welcome surprises, it also creates an album with an odd flow, as full-bodied rockers sit next to low-fi demos, or they shift to a single ballad before ramping up the pace again. There’s no real momentum to Thyrty, apart from the slow slide in quality through disc two, through reunion-era live tracks and studio tracks that wouldn’t be above the skills of a top-notch bar band. Nothing here detracts from Skynyrd’s legacy, but if you listen to Thyrty from beginning to end, you’ll probably find your perception of the band’s original power slightly clouded.

I didn’t have to travel far to attend our village’s jam session two Friday’s ago. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw a young couple who had come to visit an older friend. It’s rare to find young people in our 55+ village and they looked so cute and happy together.
They smiled and danced and as they swirled around to the music on the dance floor, I discovered fiber art in an unsuspecting place.
Alicia had found several crocheted doilies at either a thrift shop or yard sale (I can’t remember which). She loved that handwork and wanted to embrace all the work and love that went into the making of it. She bought several and sewed one onto the back of Ian’s shirt. I think it displays rather nicely. I’d love to see what she does with the others.
What I Learned Today:
- I don’t have much in the way of polka dot fabric. You all know what that means. No, I’m not making do with what I have; I’m heading to the fabric shop.
- I have much to learn from younger artists about using pieces in new and different ways.
Question: Have you found fabric art work in an unsuspecting place? Where? This one was surprising but the finished result is stunning. Ian was pleased to wear it. How’s that for a young couple supporting each other?
Thanks for stopping by and do come again.

Beautiful reuse of someone’s creative work.
A loving couple, great smiles, and what nifty handwork.
I never would have thought of displaying that lovely piece in that particular way. I can’t say that I’ve found fiber art in an unusual place yet, but I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes open for it now!
Have fun picking out some new polka dot fabrics! That is one of my favorite prints and a common go-to. ~smile~ Roseanne
What a great post! I’m always hunting for fiber art. I love that doily shirt. I think that artist is onto something! My favorite personal up-cyle was an old printed clothespin bag I found at an estate sale. I turned it into a mini quilt.
Now this was so interesting. Who would have thought that we could wear our crocheted doilies.
What a neat man to go along with his wife’s idea, not everyone would have been so willing, she is a very lucky young woman. A great post, keep it up.
They are too cute! The way she repurposed that beautiful doily is so cool and even cooler he’s wearing it. I’m not sure I could have sold David on that one. You have me wondering, am I not being observant? Is there fabric art that I am missing everyday?
A very fun shirt. Ian is very supportive, the lace is even pink. Not all guys would do that. Not so much fabric art as I’ve been admiring all the gorgeous spring prints.
Thank you very much for your inspiration on the Show and Tell Monday / Bambi
How awesome! My favorite handwork in an unexpected place was a jeep on the highway with a very brightly colored crocheted tire cover on the spare tire on the back of the jeep.
What an unusual application for a doily!!

Wow. That is a HUGE difference in our local cultures.
I do not know if you ever saw this, but I have plenty of times. That blank look of people that know that someone will have to get sent home. They all want to play and are excited to, but they do not want to be the jerk to exclude someone else. So they sit silent and continue setting up the game as if they were playing so they do not get sent home. Now often this gets broken by someone offering to sit out, break up tables, but sometimes someones believes someone has to go and becomes exclusive so they can keep the game they wanted to play. Maybe you are the hero enough to prevent that(evil only exists where good people do nothing). I can be a touch too aggressive against the people that suggestion exclusion.
I am not saying my area is mean and exclusive, but something different. I want to say lazy, unsympathetic, or whatever I am not sure the exact word. Ignorant of others I guess.
When I read Bear gray post it screams that bear gray had a similar situation. That everyone was playing go ready play and started leaving Bear gray out.
Bear obviously did not understand why they did not get to play. That is definitely an issue. There is no speculating that. No one sent home should be left wondering why they did not get to play. I know a local VO will/has spoken with him. This is an opportunity to make up for a misunderstanding and build a great friendship.

Diagnosing Lynch syndrome might start with a review of your family history of cancer. Your health care provider will want to know whether you or anyone in your family has had colon cancer, endometrial cancer and other cancers. This may lead to other tests and procedures to diagnose Lynch syndrome.
Your provider may want you to consider genetic testing for Lynch syndrome if your family history has one or more of the following:
- Multiple relatives with any Lynch-associated cancers, including colon cancer and endometrial cancer. Other cancers caused by Lynch syndrome include those that happen in the stomach, ovaries, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, ureters, brain, gallbladder, bile ducts, small intestine and skin.
- One or more family members who had cancer before age 50.
- One or more family members who have had more than one type of cancer.
- More than one generation of family with the same type of cancer.
Testing cancer cells
If you or someone in your family has had cancer, a sample of the cancer cells might be tested.
Tests on cancer cells include:
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing. IHC testing uses special dyes to stain tissue samples. The presence or absence of staining shows whether the tissue has certain proteins. Missing proteins might help determine if the genes related to Lynch syndrome caused the cancer.
- Microsatellite instability (MSI) testing. Microsatellites are pieces of DNA. In people with Lynch syndrome, there may be errors or instability in these pieces.
Positive IHC or MSI test results can show that the cancer cells have genetic changes that are connected to Lynch syndrome. But the results can't say for certain whether you have Lynch syndrome. Some people have these genetic changes only in their cancer cells. This means the genetic changes weren't inherited.
People with Lynch syndrome have the genes that cause Lynch syndrome in all the cells in their bodies. Genetic testing is needed to see if all the cells have these genes.
Genetic testing looks for changes in the genes that cause Lynch syndrome. You may give a sample of your blood for this test.
If a family member has Lynch syndrome, your test might look only for the gene that runs in your family. If you're the first person in your family to be tested for Lynch syndrome, your test might examine many genes that can run in families. A genetics professional can help decide which test is best for you.
Genetic testing may show:
A positive genetic test result. A positive result means that a genetic change that causes Lynch syndrome was found in your cells. It doesn't mean you'll get cancer. But it does mean that your risk of certain cancers is higher than people who don't have Lynch syndrome.
Your personal risk of cancer depends on which genes run in your family. You can lower your risk with tests to look for signs of cancer. Some treatments can help lower your risk of certain cancers. A genetics professional can explain your individual risk to you based on your results.
- A negative genetic test result. A negative result means gene changes that cause Lynch syndrome weren't found in your cells. It means you probably don't have Lynch syndrome. But you could still have an increased risk of cancer. That's because people with a strong family history of cancer may have an increased risk of the disease.
- A gene variation of unknown significance. Genetic tests don't always give you a yes or no answer. Sometimes genetic testing finds a gene that doctors aren't sure about. A genetics professional can tell you what this means for your health.
During a colonoscopy, the doctor inserts a colonoscope into your rectum to check for abnormalities in your entire colon.
There's no cure for Lynch syndrome. People with Lynch syndrome often have tests to look for early signs of cancer. If cancer is found when it's small, treatment is more likely to be successful.
Sometimes cancer can be prevented with operations to remove some organs before they can develop cancer. Talk with your health care provider about your options.
Cancer screening for people with Lynch syndrome
Cancer screening tests are tests that look for signs of cancer in people who don't have any cancer symptoms. Which cancer tests you need depends on your situation. Your health care provider will consider which Lynch syndrome gene you carry. Your provider also considers what cancers run in your family.
You might have tests to look for:
- Colon cancer. A colonoscopy is a procedure that uses a long flexible tube to look at the inside of your colon. This exam can find precancerous growths and areas of cancer. People with Lynch syndrome may begin colonoscopy screening every year or two starting in their 20s or 30s.
- Endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer is cancer that starts in the inside lining of the uterus. The lining is called the endometrium. To look for this cancer, you might have ultrasound imaging of the uterus. A sample of endometrium might be removed. The sample is tested for signs of cancer. This procedure is called an endometrial biopsy.
- Ovarian cancer. Your provider may suggest an ultrasound and blood test to look for signs of cancer in the ovaries.
- Stomach cancer and small intestine cancer. Your provider might suggest a procedure to look at the inside of your esophagus, stomach and small intestine. This procedure is called an endoscopy. It involves passing a long, thin tube with a camera on the end down your throat. You might also have a test to look for a bacteria that increases the risk of stomach cancer.
- Urinary system cancer. Your provider may suggest testing a sample of your urine to look for signs of urinary system cancers. This includes cancer in the kidneys, bladder and the ureters. The ureters are tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder.
- Pancreatic cancer. Your provider might suggest an imaging test to look for cancer in the pancreas. This is usually with an MRI.
- Brain cancer. Your provider might suggest a neurological exam. This exam involves testing your vision, hearing, balance, coordination and reflexes. This test looks for signs that a brain cancer is pressing on your brain tissue or nerves.
- Skin cancer. Your provider might suggest a skin exam. This involves looking at your whole body for signs of skin cancer.
You might need other tests if your family has a history of other types of cancer. Ask your provider about which tests are best for you.
Aspirin for cancer prevention
Some research suggests that taking a daily aspirin may lower the risk of cancer in people with Lynch syndrome. More research is needed to understand how much aspirin is needed to get the most benefit. Discuss the potential benefits and risks of aspirin therapy with your provider. Together you can decide whether this might be right for you.
Treatments to prevent cancers caused by Lynch syndrome
In certain situations, you might consider surgery or treatments to prevent cancer. Discuss the benefits and risks with your health care provider.
Treatments may be available for:
- Endometrial cancer prevention. Surgery to remove the uterus is called hysterectomy. It prevents endometrial cancer. Another option may be a procedure to place a contraceptive device in the uterus. The device, called an intrauterine device (IUD), emits a hormone that lowers the risk of endometrial cancer. It also prevents you from getting pregnant.
- Ovarian cancer prevention. Surgery to remove the ovaries is called oophorectomy. It greatly reduces the risk of ovarian cancer. Another option might be oral contraceptive pills, which are also called birth control pills. Research suggests taking oral contraceptive pills for at least 5 years lowers the risk of ovarian cancer.
- Colon cancer prevention. Surgery to remove most or all of your colon is called colectomy. It lowers your risk of colon cancer. This operation might be an option in certain situations. For example, it might be an option if you've had colon cancer. Removing your colon would prevent you from getting colon cancer again.

Coping and support
Having Lynch syndrome can be stressful. Knowing that you have an increased risk of cancer can make you feel worried about your future. In time, you'll find ways to cope with the stress and worry. Until then, you might find it helpful to:
- Find out all you can about Lynch syndrome. Make a list of questions about Lynch syndrome and ask them at your next appointment. Ask your health care team for further sources of information. Learning about Lynch syndrome can help you feel more confident when making decisions about your health.
- Take care of yourself. Knowing that you have an increased risk of cancer can make you feel as if you can't control your health. Make healthy choices for the parts of your health you can control. For instance, choose a healthy diet. Exercise most days of the week. Maintain a healthy weight. Get enough sleep so that you wake feeling rested. Go to all your scheduled medical appointments, including your cancer-screening exams.
- Connect with others. Find friends and family with whom you can discuss your fears. Connect with other people with Lynch syndrome through advocacy groups. Examples include Lynch Syndrome International and Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE). Find other trusted people you can talk with, such as clergy members. Ask for a referral to a therapist who can help you understand your feelings.
Preparing for your appointment
If your health care provider thinks you could have Lynch syndrome, they may suggest that you meet with a genetics professional, such as a genetic counselor.
A genetics professional can help you decide whether genetic testing would be useful for you. If you choose to have the test, they can help you understand your results.
What you can do
To prepare for your meeting with the genetics professional:
- Gather your medical records. If you've had cancer, bring your medical records to your appointment.
- Ask family members who've had cancer for information. If your family members have had cancer, ask for information about their diagnoses. Write down the types of cancer, types of treatments and ages at diagnosis.
- Consider taking a family member or friend along. Sometimes it can be hard to remember all the information provided during an appointment. Someone who comes with you may remember something that you missed or forgot.
- Write down questions to ask.
Questions to ask
Prepare a list of questions to ask. Questions could include:
- What causes Lynch syndrome?
- How is Lynch syndrome passed through families?
- If I have a family member with Lynch syndrome, what is the chance that I have it, too?
- What types of tests are involved in genetic testing?
- What will the results of genetic testing tell me?
- How long can I expect to wait for my results?
- If my genetic test result is positive, what is the chance that I will get cancer?
- What types of tests can detect Lynch-related cancers at an early stage?
- If my genetic test result is negative, does that mean I won't get cancer?
- Are genetic testing results ever wrong or not clear?
- What will my genetic test results mean for my family?
- How much does genetic testing cost?
- Will my insurance company pay for genetic testing?
- What laws protect me from discrimination if my genetic test result is positive?
- Is it OK to decide against genetic testing?
- If I choose to not have genetic testing, what does that mean for my future health?
- Are there brochures or other printed material that I can take with me? What websites do you suggest?
In addition to the questions that you've prepared, ask any other questions that you think of during your appointment.
What to expect
The genetics professional will likely ask questions about your health history and the health history of your family members. Questions may include:
- Have you ever had cancer?
- Have members of your family had cancer?
- At what age was each family member with cancer diagnosed?
- Have any family members ever had genetic testing?

Fraport has reported that in the 2018 fiscal year ending 31 December it continued on its growth path – achieving new records in revenue and earnings.
The company said supported by strong passenger growth at its Frankfurt Airport home base and its group airports worldwide, revenue climbed by 18.5 per cent to nearly €3.5 billion. After adjusting for revenue related to capital expenditure for expansion measures at the international group companies (based on IFRIC 12), revenue rose 7.8 per cent to over €3.1 billion.
The operating result (group EBITDA) climbed markedly by 12.5 per cent to over €1.1 billion. The group result (net profit) rose even stronger, by 40 per cent to €505.7 million. This includes earnings gained from the sale of Fraport’s stake in Hanover Airport, which contributed €75.9 million.
About two-thirds of this increase can be attributed to Fraport’s international portfolio – with the airports in Brazil and Greece, in particular, making a significant contribution.
Revenue in the ground handling segment rose by five per cent year-on-year to €673.8 million. The strong growth in passenger traffic resulted, in particular, in stronger revenue from ground services and higher infrastructure charges.
On the other hand, passenger growth also led to higher personnel expenses at the FraGround and FraCareS subsidiaries. Accordingly, segment EBITDA declined by €7 million to €44.4 million. Segment EBIT dropped considerably by 94 per cent, but at €0.7 million still remained in positive territory.
Fraport executive board chairman, Stefan Schulte said: “We are pleased to look back on another very successful year, especially for our Group airports around the world. Here in Frankfurt, however, 2018 presented challenges due to the constraints in European airspace and the strong traffic demand.
“For the medium and long term, we are very well positioned both at Frankfurt Airport and in our international business. Moreover, we are laying the foundations for further long-term growth by implementing our expansion projects.”
Serving some 69.5 million passengers, Frankfurt Airport achieved a new passenger record in 2018 and growth of 7.8 per cent compared to 2017.
Schulte said: “Until the first pier of the new Terminal 3 opens in late 2021, we will focus on maintaining a high level of service quality at Frankfurt Airport – while dealing with the constraints affecting the entire aviation industry. In particular, enhancing the situation at the security checkpoints will be a top priority for us.”
Fraport’s international portfolio also posted a significant gain in passenger traffic during 2018. In Brazil, the two airports of Porto Alegre and Fortaleza reported a seven per cent increase to 14.9 million passengers in 2018 – Fraport Brasil’s first year of operating these airports.
At the 14 Greek airports, traffic rose by almost nine per cent to 29.9 million passengers. Antalya Airport in Turkey grew by a significant 22.5 per cent to 32.3 million travellers, a new record.
As for cargo, in 2018, based on its cargo throughput (air freight and airmail) of 2.2 million metric tons, Frankfurt Airport was Europe’s largest airport ahead of Paris Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam Schiphol. Last year, cargo volume fell slightly below the previous year’s volume by 0.8 per cent which Fraport said was in line with economic development.

Hammers weigh up value of short-term deal of Nuhiu after top target Carroll's injury woe
West Ham are considering a short term deal for free agent Atdhe Nuhiu.
The 6ft 6ins striker is seen as someone who can provide cover for Andy Carroll who, should he agree to join from Liverpool, will likely miss the start of the season with a heel injury.
Shopping list: Sam Allardyce is looking at a number of options to strengthen West Ham's attack
Nuhiu, 23, has been on loan from Rapid Vienna at Turkish side Eskisehirspor. British clubs first noticed him in 2010 when he scored in Rapid Vienna's 3-2 Europa League defeat of Aston Villa.
Manager Sam Allardyce is also among the frontrunners to take Romelu Lukaku on loan but Chelsea may yet opt to keep the young Belgian rather than loan him out again.

Jangeo-gui – 장어구이 (Broiled / Grilled Eel)
Jangeo-gui (장어구이) is a great Korean seafood dish using freshwater eel as the main ingredient. This dish can be prepared in various ways which can be boiled and/or grilled to achieve its distinctive tastes & flavors. Some may choose to do both, first broiling the eel then grilling it to achieve the ultimate perfection in texture and color. To prepare the dish, bones are removed from the eel then marinated with a sweet and tangy sauce which includes rice wine, gochugaru (red chili pepper flakes), sesame oil, soy sauce garlic, sugar, and ginger. When cooking, the additional sauce may be consistently brushed onto the fish to add extra flavors & aroma.
This meal is rich in protein, calcium, vitamin A and E and is enjoyed especially during the hot summers to avoid heat exhaustion. It is also believed to be good for stamina.
Fact: Eel has a high content of protein and fat so it can take a long time to fully digest this fish.
And don’t forget, #LifesDelicious, so enjoy it!

COOKING DIRECTIONS: BROILING
1. Mix all ingredients other than the fish into a saucepan and cook.
2. Once the sauce thickens, set aside and let it cool, ready to be brushed onto the eel.
3. Place eel on chopping board and remove the head.
4. Insert a knife through the belly side of the eel and open its abdomen and spread it wide.
5. Remove tail along with intestines and bones. Freshly rinse the eel in cold water to remove any leftover particles.
6. Vertically cut large eel into 3-4 pieces and small eel into 2 pieces.
7. Insert skewers vertically into the eel to prevent it from curling while cooking.
8. Once the preparation of the eel is complete, apply sauce to marinate.
9. Broil 15-20 minutes until fish is fully cooked. Brush additional sauce while boiling if desired.
COOKING DIRECTIONS: GRILLING
1. Follow steps 1-8 from the directions above.
2. For grilling, marinate fish for 1 hour.
3. Place eel on a grill until fish is cooked.

MOSCOW, November 23 (RIA Novosti) - The EU has offered Bulgaria, Slovakia and Lithuania additional funding to dismantle their nuclear power facilities, the Sofia News Agency reported on Friday.
Bulgaria received an additional EU commitment of 260 million euros for the closure of four units at the country's Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant as a draft 2014-2020 EU budget was presented by Herman van Rompuy.
The EU had initially proposed 185 million euros for the four units but Sofia said it needed a total of 450 million.
The Kozloduy plant, in operation since 1974, has raised safety concerns, and the country agreed to shut four of its units as a condition of joining the European Union in 2007.
Lithuania is to get EUR 400 million euros for its Ignalina nuclear plant, up from 210 million in an earlier proposal, while Slovakia will get 200 million for Bohunice, up from 105 million.
EU assistance aims to make the decommissioning irreversible and eliminate a major source of radiological hazard.

A protection order is a courtroom order that safeguards somebody from harassment, threats, or abuse. It is usually released in response to domestic mistreatment or stalking situations. Domestic violence can be a extreme problem in many societies worldwide. Sufferers of domestic violence often have no idea where you can ask for support and protection. That’s why there exists a authorized way to guard people from domestic violence.
What protection orders can the legal court problem?
A target of domestic violence can get a protection order to quit her abuser from getting in contact with her. A legal courtroom could also problem these orders, which can be referred to as restraining orders.
•A legal court will determine what limits should be put on the abuser’s exposure to the victim— such as reducing his access to his property, place of work, or place of work.
•A evaluate may also principle how the abuser must steer clear of any location the sufferer chooses including the victim’s property, workplace, college, place of worship, and so on.
•In some cases, the assess will reduce the abuser’s entry to others the target selects. This is known as an “ex parte” order, meaning just one single aspect files the motion to have an order, instead of both parties are involved in a challenge.
Patients can sue their abusers in civil courtroom once they usually do not sense they can be acquiring ample protection from a criminal the courtroom order. This is the circumstance in numerous states— particularly if the felony fees are lowered or ignored with the courtroom. In certain claims, victims must wait 3 months after filing a criminal circumstance against their abusers before filing a civil situation against them. It presents law enforcement a chance to arrest and prosecute believed criminals without upsetting victims’ civil instances against them. Whoever has endured as a result of someone else should think about obtaining a protection order and consuming motion against their abuser through the legal system.

Trek's Procaliber 9.8 SL will make you think you died and went to XC heaven. It boasts a full-carbon frame with Trek's ingenious IsoSpeed decoupler that basically makes this the speediest softtail you've ever ridden, since more comfort means more performance. Up front, the RockShox SID RL fork tracks immaculately through the toughest lines. Ditto for the tubeless DT Swiss wheel, which accelerate quickly at the slightest push of the SRAM X1/X01 1x11 drivetrain. Throw in Shimano Deore XT discs and solid Bontrager Race X Lite carbon bars, and you're on way to cross country heaven.
|Trek's G2 Geometry (version 2 of Gary Fisher's Genesis Geometry) delivers the ultimate ride for every trail. Genesis earned rave reviews for awesome handling on climbs and descents thanks to a long top tube paired with a short stem that moves the front wheel forward for top-notch confidence and control, while short chainstays add phenomenal traction. G2 Geometry takes these handling traits to the next level by boosting control on tight singletrack and technical climbs, too. This is accomplished by increasing the amount of fork offset (reducing trail), which makes G2 bikes steer more quickly, and by shortening the reach, which puts more weight on the front wheel for even better control and confidence. The two animations above showcase how G2 Geometry provides the perfect ride.|

Self-funded retirees in Ballarat and region are among more than 281,000 senior Australians receiving a boost to their household budgets with the first quarterly Clean Energy Supplement for seniors arriving in their bank accounts from today.
Federal Member for Ballarat, Catherine King, said this extra money is part of the Gillard Government’s Household Assistance Package and will be paid alongside the regular Seniors Supplement.
“The Clean Energy Supplement will help eligible self-funded retirees with everyday expenses and meet the modest impact of the carbon price,” Ms King said.
Those eligible are self-funded retirees who receive a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card.
Payments to eligible self-funded retirees for this quarter include:
• A Clean Energy Supplement of about $88 for singles and about $134 for couples combined; and
• The regular Seniors Supplement of about $215 for singles and about $324 for couples combined.
This means that, for the June quarter, eligible seniors will receive a payment of more than $300 for singles and more than $450 for couples to help with household bills.
“In total, eligible self-funded retirees around the country will receive more than $90 million in Clean Energy Supplement payments each year,” Ms King said.
“Pensioners have already begun receiving their fortnightly Clean Energy Supplement, worth more than $350 a year for singles and more than $530 a year for couples.
“Pensioners who choose to receive their Pension Supplement and Clean Energy Supplement payments quarterly will also receive their supplements over the next fortnight.
“Tony Abbott and the Coalition voted against the new supplement for self-funded retirees and against the pension increase, demonstrating their lack of support for seniors.
Ms King said the new payment for seniors builds on the Gillard Government’s strong record of delivering for older Australians. This includes:
• the single biggest boost to the pension in more than a century and a new indexation system so it better reflects pensioners’ cost of living;
• one-off payments worth up to $1,400 each to help pensioners and self-funded retirees through the Global Financial Crisis;
• a new consolidated Pension Supplement and Seniors Supplement to help pensioners and eligible self-funded retirees with the cost of living;
• the new seniors Work Bonus, allowing age pensioners to earn more from work without if affecting their pension; and
• Broadband for Seniors, which gives older Australians access to about 2,000 free internet kiosks so they can learn new skills and stay connected with family and friends over the internet.

Her Majesty the Queen-Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk contributed US$200,000 with the Royal Government of Cambodia to support the preparation of “Luong Me” (Queen-Mother) Hospital.
The financial contribution was known in a letter dated Mar. 30 of Her Majesty to Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia.
In his reply, Samdech Techo Hun Sen expressed his gratitude to Her Majesty the Queen-Mother for the precious contribution, stressing that it reflects Her Majesty’s attention to supporting the humanitarian activities of the Royal Government.
Samdech Techo Prime Minister has recently announced to buy Nokor Tep Women’s Hospital in Khan Dangkor, Phnom Penh and change its name to “Luong Me”. Since the announcement, many local tycoons have contributed financially to the purchase of the hospital.


Former Members of Parliament (MPs) are not entitled to receive pension, the Supreme Court (SC) ruled yesterday.
Former MPs, including legal practitioner, Nkrabeah Effah-Darteh, Mr David Apasera, former MP for Bolgatanga,Mr S.K Boafo, former MP for Subin, and Senior Minister, Mr Yaw Osafo Maafo, sued the government in 2017 demanding GH₵233,495 each, being their accrued monthly pension.
The MPs went to court based on the Chinnery-Hesse Committee report that recommended the payment of pensions to MPs, who were in MPs from 2005-2008.
They lost the case at the high court and subsequently filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal.
The Court of Appeal referred the case to the apex court since the grounds of appeal concerns a constitutional issue, which should be interpreted by the SC.
Ruling on the matter on Thursday, a seven-member panel of judges, presided by Justice Sule Nasiru Gbadegbe, held that the former MPs are entitled to only gratuities as stipulated in Article 114 of the 1992 constitution.
“By the combined reading of Article 71(3), 98(1) and Article 114 of the 1992 Constitution, the Chinnery-Hesse Committee acted unconstitutionally,” the court stated.
The basis of the legal action by the 40 former MPs was the Chinnery-Hesse Presidential Emoluments Committee (PEC), which provides that parliamentarians, who were 50 years and above and exited Parliament, having served two full terms, should be paid money as pension benefits.
Other members were Dr Kofi Konadu Apraku, Dr Kwame Ampofo, Mr Kwamina Bartels, Mr Freddie Blay, Mr Kenneth Dzirasah, Ms Christine Churcher and Mr Isaac E. Edumadze (deceased).
At the onset, the Accra High Court dismissed a suit filed by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) to join the MPs suit.The facts are that, the former MPs sued the Attorney General and the Ministry of Finance over pensions owed them.
The FWSC applied to join the suit claiming its presence in the matter will enable the court effectively determine the issues.
But, Justice Gifty Dekyem, the presiding judge, said the Act establishing the Commission precluded it from dabbling in matters of Article 71 office holders, thereby dismissed the request.
The former MPs in their writ noted that, in a letter dated June 25, 2015, the Attorney General directed the Ministry of Finance to make the payments, but the Minister of Finance at the time refused, neglected or failed to make the payments as directed.
The former legislators also said the conduct of the Finance Minister caused them distress and suffering, as most of them were unemployed and unable to sustain their families.
Mr Apesera had earlier told journalists that the Commission has wasted the time of the court, saying the amounts they were seeking were due them after years of service to the state.
“We are grateful to the court because we know that they are not supposed to be part of it. They are simply trying to flout the law that establishes them.We are happy that the judge has thrown them out”.

Fundamentals of sliding contact melting and friction
This paper focuses on the phenomenon of melting and lubrication by the sliding contact between a phase-change material and a smooth flat slider. The first part of the study considers the limit in which the melting is due primarily to 'direct heating', that is, to the temperature difference between the solid slider and the melting point of the phase-change material. It is shown that in this limit the relative motion gas has a uniform thickness and that the friction factor decreases as both the normal force and the temperature difference increase. The second part considers the limit where the melting is caused mainly by the frictional heating of the liquid formed in the relative motion gap. This gap turns out to have a converging-diverging shape that varies with the parameters of the problem.

Transcript – The Top 5 Regrets of The Dying – Don’t Let This Be You! (Inspiring Speech)
Australian nurse Bronnie Ware spent several years working as a nurse, caring for patients who had less than three months to live. She recorded their stories and shared their thoughts on life, in the book, “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.” I encourage you to take in these most common regrets of the dying, and make sure you don’t look back with the same feelings.
The 5 most common regrets of the dying were:
Number 1: I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
Number 2: I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
Number 3: I wish I had the courage to express my feelings .
Number 4: I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
Number 5: I wish I had let myself be happier.
Notice that NONE of these most common regrets revolve around money or work.
Strange how no one said “I wish I worked more at the office” or “Gee I wish I had more cash to take with me”
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work hard, or make money, you should, and you should do it in a way that is in alignment with your purpose, but you should never PRIORITIZE money or work, over things that TRULY MATTER.
NUMBER 1: I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
This was the most common regret of all these people lying on their deathbed.
How powerful is that?
Such a powerful lesson you should live with, and remind yourself of every day.
BE YOURSELF. Follow your own path. Do what you KNOW is right for you. There is nothing more important. Not just for you, but for everyone you love, everyone who is influenced by your behaviour.
When these patients realized that life was almost over, they had the ability to look back with clarity.
Unfortunately, many of these people saw a life with dreams left unfulfilled because they settled for a life others expected of them, not one they truly wanted to live.
Bronnie Ware said:
“Most people had not honored even half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made or not made.”
NUMBER 2: I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
Every single male patient had this regret. These men said they had missed out on so much in their relationships and friendships because they simply worked too much.
Everyone has to work. We all need money to get by, and we all deserve an abundant life – to do that, you must work… but again, learn to PRIORITISE what is really important. Not just with your TIME, but with your ENERGY as well.
Give the majority of your energy to those you love, and the things you love doing. Choose work you love, work that is more in line with your purpose.
NUMBER 3: I wish I had the courage to express my feelings.
As the author said:
“Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming.”
It’s so sad to hear this, and know how common it is, but it is empowering to know that DOES NOT HAVE TO BE YOU.
Break the cycle of this toxic thought pattern. Be the influence that changes this win your bloodline.
Express who you truly are with no apologies. Be yourself, 100%. Never afraid to express your feelings and grow and evolve into more of an amazing human being every day.
NUMBER 4: I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
The author said:
“Often they would not truly realize the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years.”
It’s easy to take friends, family and loved ones for granted. Especially those you know will always be there for you. But take a moment to think about if you lost one of them. Would you wish you spent more time with them?
As Stephen Levine said:
“If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call to make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?”
Maybe it’s time to make a few calls.
NUMBER 5: I wish I had let myself be happier .
The author said:
“Many did not realize until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives.”
Never forget those words. Happiness is a choice.
You can never choose what circumstances show up in your life, but you always choose how you respond.
Choose to be happy by making happy choices. Choose daily habits that put you in a positive state, choose books, TV, friends that make you feel good, and help you to see the good in others.
No one ended up on their deathbed saying they wished they hadn’t been so happy.
LIVE FULLY. Playful. Fun. Happy. Lighthearted.
Stories like these shouldn’t be sad or scary. They should serve to inspire you. To inspire you to create the changes you need in your life.
Life is short, no one knows how long they have left on this earth. Make the most of each and every day, so you get to the end without any regrets.

JUNEAU (AP) State officials hope to entice oil companies into drilling an offshore test well near the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge next winter.
The state Division of Oil and Gas is soliciting interest in a stratigraphic test well to be drilled in unleased state waters of the Beaufort Sea near the east portion of the coastal plain.
''The proposed well would be drilled where it is designed to maximize the recovery of information about a potential reservoir, not to gather oil,'' Gov. Frank Murkowski said in a statement released Wednesday.
The test well would be drilled in an area west of the village of Kaktovik near Angun Point, the state said. It could give companies important geologic data to aid in future exploration decisions about ANWR.
State officials held a meeting with oil companies on Tuesday to solicit interest in the project.
''The overarching purpose is ANWR, but the subsidiary purpose is to understand the geology of the state waters and adjacent federal waters,'' said Ken Boyd, an oil consultant who attended the meeting.
Drilling could begin as early as winter 2004 and 2005, state officials said. The cost of the drilling would not be funded by the state but would be shared by companies interested in the project, the governor's office said.
State officials expect the well to qualify for a 40 percent severance tax credit.
The data garnered from the well would also be shared by the companies, the state said.

As play, production and performance, this 90 minutes without an interval makes for a concentrated and enjoyable evening.
The play itself is written by the winner of the Writers’ Guild Best Play Award for 2009. Juliet Gilkes Romero is both playwright and journalist and her script illustrates her skills in both activities.
The set consists of furniture constructed (by whichever actor is left alone at previous scene’s end) from cardboard packing cases.
The action of the play arises from conflicts within the Labour Party on the eve of a general election (now there’s a coincidence!) over a heated debate within Labour about whether there should be some all-black shortlists. There have, after all, argue the proponents of such lists, been all women shortlists. Which means, when you come to think of it, that as things stand, black people suffer even worse discrimination than women.
Romero has employed reverse chronological order, a device which has become fairly familiar since Harold Pinter introduced it to British theatre in Betrayal in 1978. The question the audience is asking itself is, therefore, not ‘Where are they going?’ but ‘How did they get to that opening scene?’ Effectively employed, as it is here, the device brings a certain unsentimentalized pathos to the struggles and setbacks that have afflicted the characters we are watching.
The dialogue is snappy, lucid and forceful throughout. Idealistic politicians can get very fierce when riled. The audience is invited, nay, compelled, to become politically aware, historically informed and hilariously (albeit sympathetically) entertained, all at once.
Lotte Wakeham’s direction is sure-footed and effective. The meaning of the drama permeates the action, and the action proceeds without hesitation.
Of the three actors, the most experienced is Andrew Scarborough, who, for those who know about such things, plays Tim Drewe inDownton Abbey. Akemnji Ndifornyen will be known to those who have watched Doctors, Incubus and Leonardo, while Emma Dennis-Edwards has played a waitress on film in Cinderella. I look forward to seeing them all again on stage and, I hope, soon.
By the end of the play we have been given a look into what was going on in Westminster and on the hustings in the John Major years, which is to say, in terms of heroes and villains, the interim between Mrs Thatcher and Mr Blair.
Will there be any all black short lists for Labour Party candidates later this year? Don’t hold your breath.
There is one element in this play that really puzzles me. I have not at the time of writing been able to interpret the title, Upper Cut. Is it a metaphor drawn from boxing, relating to the tendency of the characters to turn at least temporarily against each other as their various successive ambitions are felled by circumstance and by those who are supposed to be their friends and allies? Is there a deliberate echo of ‘upper crust’, relating that concept both to society at large and the Labour Party, of which all three personae are energetically contentious and ambitious members?
Or does it relate to the tragically early death of the great Labour prime minister that never was, John Smith?
I’d be grateful to any reader who works out an answer and enlightens me via the ‘comment’ space at the end of this review. Just try not to be too condescendingly scornful.
