Greetings Readers! Before I start with my comments in this edition, I would like to congratulate the team of professionals of Doral News: journalists, collaborators, columnists, the ladies in the Production Department, the Marketing Department and advertising investment advisers, press photographers, institutional relations and the management. On Saturday, January 28th, this newspaper was awarded the Miami Life Award, on its sixth annual event, as Best Newspaper of the year 2011.
To all those people who voted for Doral News through the Miami Life Award webpage, I would like to express my sincere thanks on behalf of all our staff for your preference for this newspaper. This award makes us feel even more committed to the community to always maintain our seriousness and editorial excellence. Journalists Carlos Guillen and Maria Carolina Gonzalez received the award on behalf of Doral News. Once again, congratulations to all.
The election ballot to vote on January 31st was like a pun, I would say like a tongue twister. The question to amend the Constitutional Charter of the County was so confusing that many people with whom I talked had to do a Brainstorm to be able to understand the question. I even approached two congressmen looking for a clarification in comprehensible terms about “to increase from 60 to 120 days the time allowed to circulate initiatory petitions…”??? Beware; this question was not clear either in Spanish or English. I think that those who develop these questions should be more concise and accurate, as with the question about amending the Constitutional Charter to increase the salaries of Commissioners -do you want to increase their salaries or not? That’s it. As simple as that.
By the way, about the salary issue, people understood the question clearly, zero increase for Commissioners. Apparently they were not earning $6,000 annually, not at all; therefore, people voted NO for an increase to $92,097.00. The truth of the matter is that people are very upset with this issue and expressed their feelings through the votes.
“…….After much consideration and consulting with my wife and family I have come to the decision that I will not be running for the County Mayor’s position this year. After more than ten years of public service and with a growing family, the time has come to make sure that I can spend quality time with my children and wife. Although my campaign for County Mayor has come to an end, my campaign to reform County government will continue both through the remainder of my term as Mayor of Doral and as a private citizen subsequent to the end of my term as Mayor of Doral this November. In addition, I will work to make sure that Doral continues to be the most transparent local government in our state and will be working this final year to preserve and solidify all of the gains that have made us one of the great cities in the United States despite being such a young municipality. I will continue to work to protect the legacy of character, integrity, decency and good public policy which we have established and which we should seek from all of our future elected officials in Doral.” This is part of the statement that Mayor Juan Carlos Bermudez sent last week when he decided not to run for the County’s Major. It was a smart decision; the political and personal ups and downs that Bermudez has had to face, should not affect his family. My opinion is that, over the past 8 years, JC has had a good performance together with all his staff. No one can deny this. Although “some” could think that I am a “shoe shiner” for what I just said, I do not care. That is what I think, and to Caesar what is Caesar’s.
A phrase from the book of Miguel Cervantes, Don Quixote de la Mancha, is very fashionable these days in our city, at least that is what we have heard in the streets of this “city of bright and dull stars” as Kathy Tahan would say: let the dogs bark, Sancho. It’s a sign that we are on track…” A word to the wise is enough.
On February 12, Venezuelans are committed to vote in the primary elections to elect, God willing, the next President of the Republic of Venezuela. Never before in our country’s republican history has this happened. This is the time, my dear readers, to demonstrate solidarity with our Motherland that is going through very difficult times. Doralians already know the location of the Mega Center here at Doral where we have to vote next Sunday, February 12. This is our duty to our Motherland. THERE IS NO OCTOBER 7TH WITHOUT FEBRUARY 12TH. That is also my opinion.

Cole delves into the abundant history of rosé through regional descriptions, food-pairing recommendations and savvy advice on how to start a collection of your own.
A Hedonist in the Cellar by Jay Mclnerney
This collection essays from a novelist-turned-wine-columnist details the author’s early days as an oenophile. “He brings a novelist’s flair and imagination to stories about red wines and the people who make them,” shares Capone. Amazon reviewers praise Mclnerney’s approachable reporting and narrative skills, which Capone believes can lure anybody into the world of white wine. “It’s not a referral book at all, but following McInerney down into the cellar is infectious.”

The clear plastic curtains is made of environmentally-friendly materials, which is not easy to shrink, has a small odor, and usually turns yellow after 3-5 years. It also has a good sound insulation effect, reducing the harm of noise to the human body. There are also many advantages in using transparent soft curtains in the production industry, which not only can beautify the production environment, but also improve production efficiency. Then, the next small series introduces the cleaning method of transparent soft curtain yellowing and the type of soft curtain.
Transparent soft curtains are easy to yellow, because transparent soft curtains are filled with antioxidants, so everyone should choose a good quality transparent soft curtain, which can extend the service life, but the price will be slightly more expensive. In the cleaning aspect, the dirt on the transparent soft curtain has a special cleaning agent, which can not only remove dirt, but also disinfect, and in the place where sunlight is exposed, it will affect the service life of the transparent soft curtain, so avoid sunlight.
Transparent soft curtain size
The size of the transparent soft curtains on the market is different, so the price is different. However, for the same transparent soft curtain, the larger the size, the higher the price. Or the thicker it is, it means that the material it consumes and the time it takes to make it. At this time, the price of the transparent curtain will naturally rise.
Type of soft curtain
Insect-proof soft curtain: mainly used in food processing workshops and warehouses. This insect-proof soft curtain has the effect of dispelling insects, which can reduce the entry of mosquitoes and also protect against wind.
Low temperature soft curtain: generally used in places with low temperature, such as cold storage, refrigeration and other areas. Even at minus ten degrees Celsius, the low temperature soft curtains remain soft and not brittle, making it easy for people to get in and out. Because this soft curtain is beautiful, light and easy to clean, more and more cold storage has begun to replace the traditional cotton curtain with it.
Anti-static soft curtain: It is generally used in places where the clean room has better environmental sanitation requirements, such as the machine room, clean room and anti-static requirements.
Isolation soft curtain: Isolation of the main function of the soft curtain to prevent injury to the worker's body and retina, mainly used in welding workshops to prevent arcing and other places. It also has breathability and is much more practical than installing doorways.

Everything changes for Zack when he wakes up one morning and discovers blood in his urine. While waiting for his biopsy results to come back, Zack deals with his lackluster career, an absentee father who decides to make his re-entry into the family after being gone for 20+ years, his upcoming engagement party, and the fact that he may be in love with his best friend's widow.
Like all Tropper books, Zack is kind of a loveable loser and is surrounded by an unforgettable ensemble cast. While I'm sure this spiel gets stale for some, it never does for me. Tropper has me laughing one minute and crying the next. He never ceases to create a cast that I want to know more about. This one had a couple of lulls in the storyline compared to his others, so it's getting 4 stars instead of 5, but I still absolutely adored it. Once again, Warner Brothers has optioned this book for a movie and I think all of his books will translate to film remarkably well.

Skaggs Alaska Foundation supports Scientist in Residency Fellowship
The Sitka Sound Science Center is thrilled to announce that the Skaggs Alaska Foundation is supporting a new Scientist in Residency Fellowship Program at the Sitka Sound Science Center. The fellowship will support one scientist per year in a mini-sabbatical in Sitka. Mid-career scientists working in terrestrial or interdisciplinary sciences may apply for this one month fellowship located in Sitka, Alaska. Through his foundation, Skaggs has a long history of involvement in the Sitka community and making positive investments around the region. “Being on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, Sitka is bathed daily in rich nutrients brought in by currents and semi-diurnal tide changes,” says Skaggs, “This fellowship supports the human tide of intellectual excellence and exchange.”
Scientists who are awarded the Skaggs Alaska SIRF Fellowship will spend three weeks conducting research, preparing for publication, writing or collaborating with a colleague, and one week participating in informal science education with Sitkans. The Skaggs Alaska Fellow will be given unique outreach and education opportunities that will help the community learn about scientific research and foster science engagement in this small, well-informed, natural resource-dependent, coastal community. Applicants will be selected based on their passion and ability to communicate science to a variety of audiences and research relevant to Alaska and field of interest. The successful candidate will be provided with travel expenses, housing, office space and an honorarium. This Fellowship is available to international scientists.
The Sitka Sound Science Center is honored by the generosity of the Skaggs Foundation. This Fellowship expands on the National Science Foundation-funded Scientist in Residency Fellowship program that has a focus on Ocean Sciences. “With Sam’s support we are excited that we can expand the reach of this unique and highly successful program to scientists working beyond the marine environment,” said Victoria O’Connell, Research Director.
For more information http://www.sitkascience.org/research/Skaggs Alaska Fellowship/
Or contact Tory O’Connell: email@example.com 907-747-8878 ext 7
Application close date April 30th 2014

Therapies for Addiction Treatment
Substance use treatment is designed to address problems that people have with their drug or alcohol use and associated issues. Therapy is an important component of addiction treatment.1
This page will discuss therapy for substance use and how to find treatment.
Therapy for Substance Use Disorders
There are several types of addiction therapy, each of which has its own purposes and goals, works in different ways, and may be provided in various settings.2,3 These behavioral approaches are designed to promote behavioral changes that support abstinence, help patients build and maintain better interpersonal relationships, improve problem-solving skills, and more.3
Individual, Family & Group Therapy
Substance use disorder (SUD) therapy is typically performed in individual, group, or family settings.3 Patients may participate in a combination of these formats, depending on the specific focus and their unique circumstances.
Individual drug addiction therapy means patients meet one-on-one with their therapist. During these sessions, it’s common to discuss challenges, goals, experiences, and emotions, and work on issues relevant to substance use, such as past problems or stress at home or work. The therapist will listen and help patients develop different perspectives or strategies to help them cope in healthier and more effective ways.2
Group therapy for substance use disorder is when a patient and several others in treatment meet with a therapist. Like individual therapy, patients will learn coping skills and other strategies that can promote abstinence and prevent relapse. Group therapy may also allow patients to better learn and practice interpersonal skills, as well as gain insight from others who’ve been through similar experiences.4
Family therapy for addiction can be an important way to help people stay motivated in treatment, work through relationship issues, and support recovery.3 When it is appropriate, therapy sessions involving a therapist and several family members can help repair relationships that have been impacted by substance use, help people develop healthier communication skills, provide a way for family members to talk about their feelings and experiences, and improve family functioning.5
Many therapeutic approaches may be used in the above-mentioned settings, such as motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family behavior therapy, or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Below, we will discuss these common therapeutic approaches used in addiction treatment.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Motivational interviewing is a brief form of therapy that is designed to increase a person’s motivation to change.3 MI may be provided during intake or at the beginning of treatment as a way of: 3
- Encouraging people to enter or stick with treatment.
- Finding their internal motivation and reasons for wanting to change.
- Helping people stay engaged throughout the addiction treatment process.
During an MI session, a therapist will use different techniques, such as targeted, open-ended questions and reflective listening, designed to help patients see for themselves the changes the changes they need to make in their lives.6 They will also discuss coping strategies for risky situations, review the patient’s progress, and provide ongoing encouragement.3
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is designed to help people identify unhelpful or negative thoughts and learn to recognize consequent behaviors that stem from those thoughts, including substance use.2
Together, the patient and therapist will work on developing more realistic, healthy beliefs to replace maladaptive ones, discuss and practice new skills, and learn ways to make behavioral changes that can support abstinence and recovery.3 CBT can also help patients learn to self-monitor so that they can identify things that trigger cravings and avoid high-risk situations.3
Family Behavior Therapy
Family behavior therapy views the family as a single unit made up of people who each fulfill vital roles. When something like addiction causes dramatic shifts within the family system, family members often adapt in unhealthy ways. For example, one family member may take on too much responsibility, some family members enable their loved one’s addiction, and some may try to isolate themselves completely.7
Family therapy can help the family make positive changes to not only support the person in recovery but allows everyone to heal from the trauma of addiction.7
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a type of behavioral therapy that was originally developed to treat people who were chronically suicidal and was then adapted for those with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and substance use disorders (SUDs). The basic underlying principle of DBT is the synthesis of opposites—acceptance and change.8
The goal of DBT is to teach people ways to accept things as they are at the moment, while also working to change the things that they can actively influence, such as the way they interact with others or what they choose to do to alleviate stress.2,8
Anger management involves helping people learn more constructive and healthier ways of dealing with anger.9 Unresolved anger issues coupled with substance use can increase the risk of consequences, such as:9
- Damage to relationships.
- Involvement with the criminal justice system.
Learning how to cope with intense emotions like anger can therefore be an important part of the recovery process.9
Many approaches to anger management may involve different addiction treatment therapies, like CBT, with the essential focus of helping people learn to:9
- Manage their anger.
- Stop violence or the threat of violence.
- Develop self-control skills.
- Learn how to receive support from others.
Holistic & Complementary Therapies
Holistic or alternative therapies, such as yoga, mindfulness, and meditation, can be beneficial ways to support evidence-based treatment approaches by helping patients develop insight, acceptance skills, and self-awareness, and can also alleviate stress and help people cope with urges and emotions associated with cravings.10
Yoga classes can teach people how to connect with their bodies through mindful movement and breathwork, while meditation and mindfulness can help people in similar ways. Yoga and mindfulness can teach patients to:10
- Pay attention to the present moment.
- Improve stress resilience.
- Deter unhealthy patterns of thought, behavior, and emotion associated with addiction.
Does Insurance Cover Therapy During Treatment?
Yes, insurance is required by law to cover addiction treatment, and behavioral therapy is considered an essential part of most addiction plans.3,11
The extent of your coverage can depend on your specific plan, so it’s advisable to inquire about these details with your insurance carrier. You can also verify your insurance coverage at Laguna by using the confidential .

Mag with the letter R. Could you help me? Thanks John Kelley. The blog section is not the best place datinh address this tang. Rob62 : Jonas Stead - did you read the firearms at the manufacture of this page?
The answer is there. MingoFrank apologise, frankischer tag bamberg bekanntschaften attentively Jonas Snead, The proper mag to ask numbers would be on the Marlin dating of the tang, not as a reply to a blog.
Try looking at the tang. Rob62 : Nicole McCulley - Datingg post your specific question in the general Marlin datkng of the rifles. That is the best place to address your mag vs the dating section.
Serial Thanks everyone Can 39 tell dating marlin 39a what year it was manufactured please. Rob62 : Jesse Nicholson. Look at the top of this page. Defcon : Wow this is old, but the serial change in is not exactly correct.
I was given a serial I called marlin and they said that it was the first model made in They continued this number system for ,arlin a dating before switching. Rob62 : Remington Defcon - interesting note about being used as the first model sof the serial number for about a month January?! Marli did not know that, but do not doubt the validity of your claim.
Defcon : Wow, firearms for datjng response. I wasnt expecting it on such an serial write up. I originally started looking it up trying to find a value but came up short because of the serial, which prompted me to contact marlin.
The serial number is dating marlin 39a, which appears to datiing been manufactured in Your thoughts? Also please post a few clear rifles of the gun, or a detailed description of firearms. That will help get you the most accurate answer.
J : My marlin 39a prefix is Datingg. What dose that mean. Rob62 : J - did you read the above blog? It addresses model "numbers". Here is the link you will need to go follow to look these numbers up - they are separate from the numbers posted in the blog. Rob62 : Ron60 - I have not found any new confirmable info to add to the blog. DFB : I do not see a letter code. The serial number on my model is Can you tell me the dating of manufacture?


Figure 25.5 shows a selection of flat springs, circlips, and spring pressings. It will be apparent from the selection that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to devise a drawing standard to cover this type of spring, and at present none exists.
Flat springs are usually made from high-carbon steel in the annealed condition, and are subsequently heat-treated; but the simpler types without bends can frequently be made more economically from material pre-hardened and tempered to the finished hardness required. Stainless steels are used for springs where considerable forming has to be done. For improved corrosion-resistance, 18/8 stainless steel is recommended; but, since its spring temper is obtained only by cold-rolling, severe bends are impossible. Similar considerations apply to phosphor bronze, titanium, and brass, which are hardened by cold-rolling. Beryllium copper, being thermally hardenable, is a useful material as it can be readily formed in the solution-annealed state.

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and the most common of all cancers among 25- to 29-year-olds in the U.S. The American Academy of Dermatology designates the first Monday in May as Melanoma Monday®, a day to focus on raising awareness about this dangerous disease and other types of skin cancer.
Reducing your exposure to ultraviolet rays, from sunlight and artificial light, is one of the most significant ways to reduce your risk of developing melanoma. Although it isn’t summer yet, the effects of the sun now are similar to that of a mid-August day. Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) dermatologist Dr. Deborah Scott offers some tips to help you stay safe in the sun.
As with many forms of cancer, melanoma is surrounded by a variety of myths and misperceptions regarding treatment and prevention. Dr. Jennifer Lin of the Center for Melanoma Oncology at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center sets the record straight on five of the most common myths about melanoma.
It’s important to understand that melanoma is only one type of skin cancer. Other forms of the disease are less aggressive and more common. Melanoma is the rarest form of skin cancer, with approximately 76,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the U.S. It is also the most aggressive and the most likely to spread to other parts of the body.
In addition to annual exams by a medical professional, people also should examine their own skin regularly. Learning the ABCDEs of skin cancer is important in identifying, treating, and preventing skin cancer. People can look for signs of skin cancer in moles or skin lesions using these letters, and a skin self-exam is quick, easy, and free.
There are approximately 80,000 cases of melanoma in the U.S. each year, versus more than one million cases of basal and squamous cell cancer. While melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer, basal cell and squamous cell cancers are serious conditions that still need to be treated. The incidence of these non-melanoma skin cancers is increasing, particularly among younger adults in their twenties and thirties.

Boron is a mineral on the periodic table that isn’t talked about too much in terms of its benefits for the human body. However, boron health benefits are plentiful. Here’s an in depth look at everything this element can do for your body, and how you can add boron to your diet.
There isn’t a determined adequate intake of boron according to Health Canada. This is a result of unclear research showing a specific biological function of boron. Despite knowing that boron has positive effects on the human body, there isn’t enough research pinpointing how it works. Nevertheless, as with most minerals, there is a set daily upper limit. Adults should get no more that 20mg/day.
20mg/day is a relatively low upper limit. In 1981, studies found the minimal lethal dosage to be 640mg/kg/day. Symptoms of boron toxicity include nausea, gassiness, vomiting, and diarrhea. These symptoms can progress to flushed skin, excitation, convulsions, depression, ad vascular collapse. It would be nearly impossible to experience this level of toxicity through diet alone. You’d need to take excessive amounts of boron supplements.
Boron Health Benefits
Boron health benefits are numerous, and one of its most important roles it has is related to brain function, and cognitive performance. Many studies have shown the enhanced cognitive performance in patients taking boron compared to those who weren’t.
It affects the brain’s electrophysiology. The results are heightened response time, manual dexterity, eye-hand coordination, attention, perception, encoding and short-term memory, and long-term memory. This is critical. We should all be looking for natural ways to ensure optimal cognitive performance.
Boron plays an important role in calcium metabolism and utilization. Similarly to vitamin K2, boron seems to play a role in mineral activity. Adequate boron levels result in healthier, stronger bones, with less calcium in the rest of the body. This is important because excess calcium in the blood stream can be very dangerous, and can result in cell death.
Boron health benefits largely come from its effect on the activity of metabolic enzymes, and steroid hormones. It also affects the metabolism of many important nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D.
Here are some boron-rich foods that you can add to your diet.
Prunes are a great source of fibre and vitamin K1. They also have good amounts of vitamin A, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and manganese. Unfortunately, prunes are incredibly high in sugar so you’re not going to want to eat too many.
Raisins are about 60% sugar. They are definitely not something you’re going to want to eat in large quantities on a regular basis. They have a fairly low nutritional value, but they do contain some dietary fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K1, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, iron, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and manganese.
Almonds really are a wonder food. They’re a great source of protein and magnesium, and also supply you with vitamin B2, calcium, manganese, iron, and vitamin B-6. They’re also rich in antioxidants. They are good for your heart, blood sugar control, fighting hunger, and slowing the effects of aging.
Peanuts are a tasty legume and are a good source of boron. They are a rich source of protein, fibre, vitamin E, thiamin, niacin, folate, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, and manganese. They are high in fat, and especially high in omega-6. Since they are fairly low in carbohydrates, and high in fat and protein, they could be a good food choice for a low-carb diet. Because of the high omega-6 levels, you may want to take an omega-3 supplement to counterbalance these fats.
Hazelnuts are another good source of boron. They are a good source of fibre, protein, vitamin E, thiamin, vitamin B6, folate, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and copper. They’re also high in manganese. Like the peanut, hazelnuts are high in fat, especially omega-6.
Since dates are a common dessert ingredient it isn’t surprising that this fruit is very high in sugar. They do have some vitamin B6, magnesium, potassium, copper, and manganese, but all are in fairly low levels. However, dates are a better way to sweeten desserts than straight sugar. Limit how many of these sweet natural treats you eat.
Apples 2.73 mg/kg
Apples are mostly water with some sugar for flavour. However, they are also packed with antioxidants. These antioxidants reduce inflammation, fight cancer, fight fatigue, and support brain function. Despite the sugar in apples they can actually help lower blood sugars and help with weight loss. Apples also contain vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin K and dietary fibre.
Peaches are another fruit that are mostly water, with a bit of fibre, and sugar. They also contain vitamin C, vitamin A, niacin, and potassium. Many of the antioxidants in apples are also found in peaches.
Broccoli Flowers 1.85 mg/kg, Stalks 0.89 mg/kg
Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable packed with nutrients. It is a great source of vitamin C, and vitamin K1. It also has most other micronutrients we need in smaller amounts. These nutrients will help your muscles, brain, nerves, and overall health.
Pears 1.22 mg/kg
Pears have a little more sugar than peaches or apples, but they have a very similar nutritional profile. They’re a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K1, potassium, and copper. They’re also rich in antioxidants. They will help stabilize blood sugars and help with weight loss.
There really isn’t a reason why you would need to take a boron supplement. There are plenty of good whole food options to supply you with all of the boron you need.

One thing´s for sure, you´re never going to see any animated film more beautiful than this – or so I say with ever new film the one and only Makoto Shinkai releases; slow, tender and gobsmackingly gorgeous, The Garden Of Words reminds animation fans just why we love animation.
The Garden Of Words is not a night of clubbing, The Garden Of Words is not an evening of gaming with friends, The Garden Of Words isn´t even a walk in the park – The Garden Of Words is a rainy, lazy afternoon with a good ol´ book and melancholic thoughts, The Garden Of Words is something only Makoto Shinkai can properly pull off without dragging itself in its own non existent pace.
The Garden Of Words tells the story of a boy who just really wants to make shoes, and one day meets a woman under the raining skies. That´s it.
This film is slow film – it´s literally just a fragment out of someones life, and that´s exactly what it feels like while still having something magical about it.
In a medium filled with shouting, rudeness and difficult symbolism a movie like this is appreciated. So, do you feel like being tranquil? want to slow down for a an hour and x minutes? want to experience something you won´t experience in any other film? If yes, Garden Of Words is honestly your best bet. Add some points if you´re interested in animation.

The unfavourable Sunday timeslot will see Richmond host Gold Coast for the second-consecutive time at the MCG. It is equally as much a danger game for the Tigers as it is the most winnable for the Suns since the Q Clash. Richmond will be looking to atone for the mistakes made against North Melbourne in Hobart last Friday night whilst Gold Coast will be hoping to snap an eight-game losing streak.
The Suns are a team that the Tigers need to remain wary of. They have regained the services of several of their key players in recent weeks and have lifted accordingly, without winning. Their performance against the Swans in the previous round in trying conditions is just one example. It also prompted Gold Coast coach, Rodney Eade to say that his charges had grown in the torrid conditions. Just how much Gold Coast has improved in recent weeks was underlined by Alex Rance, who spoke to the media last Thursday morning. He said “over the last four weeks, they’re No. 4 for contested ball and tackles. So, it’s definitely not going to be a walk in the park.”
Richmond will put time into the two potent ‘talls’ in Tom Lynch, who Rance considers to be at least one of the top two forwards in the competition at the moment that is reflected in the 35 goals he has kicked so far this season as well as Peter Wright, who has been the Suns number one target up forward across the past month. Curbing their impact on the game may contribute to Richmond replicating their last outing against Gold Coast – an 83-point victory that saw the Tigers kick 14 goals to three in the second half, Ty Vickery kicked four goals and Dustin Martin was best-on-ground with 29 disposals, six tackles and three goals. Since winning their first three games of the season, Gold Coast have lost by more than 50 points in five of those losses, conceding an average score of 132 points a game.
Anything could still happen on Sunday afternoon and that’s what makes it a rather intriguing clash in a way, especially when you consider that Richmond is ranked equal-eighth in centre clearances with an average of 13.5 a game. This should advantage the Suns, who rank 16th with an average of 11.5 a game. However, the Suns are ranked second-last for inside 50s this season, averaging 46.1 a game. They’re ranked 14th for scoring with an average of 80 points a game. Gold Coast will undoubtedly take it up to Richmond, so the Tigers will have to have a real crack if they want to come away with the four points and restore some order after a rather indifferent week.
What are your thoughts on the game ahead?

An accurate method to predict subsequent miscarriage in live embryos has not yet been established. This pilot study aimed to determine the most discriminatory ultrasound-based model for predicting spontaneous miscarriage after embryonic life was first detected in assisted conceptions. A method for estimating individual risk of miscarriage was developed.
This was a prospective cross-sectional survey of 322 live singleton embryos in women from an assisted reproductive technology program. Mean sac diameter (MSD), crown–rump length (CRL), embryonic heart rate (EHR), maternal age and gestational age at the first transvaginal scan detecting embryonic life (between 42 and 62 days) were observed. These variables were included in a multivariate model for predicting spontaneous miscarriage occurring prior to 20 weeks. MSD, CRL and MSD minus CRL were assessed in univariate logistic regression analyses. The global diagnostic accuracy of each model was compared directly using receiver–operating characteristics (ROC) curves.
The multivariate model demonstrated the best ROC curve for predicting miscarriage (ROC area 0.87; 95% CI, 0.80–0.95). The separate univariate analyses had less diagnostic accuracy. In particular, MSD − CRL had a significantly smaller ROC area (0.65) than did the multivariate model (P < 0.01).
An accurate model for the prediction of subsequent miscarriage occurring in early live pregnancies has not been established. The first detection of embryonic heart motion by ultrasound does not ensure ongoing pregnancy viability, even in the absence of symptoms. The incidence of spontaneous miscarriage occurring after embryonic heart motion has been detected sonographically is high, ranging from 5 to 20%1–4. The ability to make an accurate risk estimate for the prediction of subsequent pregnancy failure is therefore important not only for counseling individual prospective parents, but also from the broader public health perspective. Multiple ultrasound examinations are costly and an accurate estimate of the likelihood of spontaneous miscarriage would serve to rationalize the use of additional scans.
A high sensitivity for predicting subsequent miscarriage in early live embryos has been demonstrated when the difference between the size of the gestational sac and embryonic pole is reduced. This ultrasound criterion was first described in six early live embryos that subsequently all miscarried, each with a normal crown–rump length (CRL) but all with small gestational sac volumes that were two SDs or more below normal5. A more current and widely accepted measure of gestational sac size, the mean sac diameter (MSD) has been used to reproduce this work6; a small MSD predicted first-trimester miscarriage in 94% of cases when the difference between the MSD and CRL (MSD − CRL) was less than an arbitrary threshold of 5 mm. These early series were small and did not take precise gestational age data into account. Furthermore, there is controversy regarding the use of MSD − CRL as the primary criterion in predicting early pregnancy prognosis. A prospective study of 39 late first-trimester miscarriages concluded that in spite of using a larger MSD − CRL discrepancy threshold of 10 mm, this criterion was far less sensitive for predicting miscarriage than when both the MSD and CRL measurements were smaller than expected for the gestational age: 56% vs. 71% sensitivity, respectively7. None of these series considered embryonic heart rate (EHR) as an additional factor in predicting pregnancy outcome.
Irrespective of its performance, the MSD − CRL model has established popularity as a simple and objective method for predicting miscarriage most likely because the calculation requires no reference to tables or nomograms for each individual pregnancy. As a previously established means of early pregnancy prognostication the MSD − CRL model is also well suited to comparative analyses primarily because of its objective and quantitative nature which allows for direct comparisons with future models. This is in contrast to subjective methods of ascribing pregnancy prognosis such as irregular gestational sac shape and low sac position.
Our study was designed to critically evaluate the significance of the MSD − CRL model compared with a new multivariate model for the prediction of subsequent miscarriage in a population of pregnant women with live singleton embryos conceived using assisted reproductive technology (ART). The proposed multivariate model combined basic ultrasound parameters with known risk factors for miscarriage such as maternal age and EHR. This prospective study of 322 live singleton embryos, all with accurate gestational age estimates from ART data, was performed as a pilot study to determine the best model for establishing early pregnancy prognosis. The use of logistic regression analyses of individual univariate models, including MSD − CRL, allowed a direct comparison of this previously established model with the present multivariate model in order to identify the most discriminatory test for predicting subsequent miscarriage in early live embryos. This is the first study to make such a direct comparison with precise gestational age data available, in a population not selected for bleeding symptoms. In addition, a new method for generating individual risk figures for subsequent miscarriage based on the present multivariate model is proposed.
This was an observational study of 322 women with live singleton pregnancies conceived on an ART program from January 2000 to April 2001. The study design was cross-sectional and only data from the single scan at which embryonic heart motion was first detected for each of the pregnancies was included. The scan data from each pregnancy were entered consecutively without selection for symptoms of threatened miscarriage.
The ART pregnancy protocol was as follows. By convention estimated menstrual age was used and calculated from the date of embryo transfer, taking into account the age of the embryos used. Progesterone support was not part of standard protocol. The women were assessed for quantitative serum β-hCG and progesterone levels on days 16 and 23 post embryo transfer.
Ultrasound scans were indicated when there was biochemical evidence of an ongoing pregnancy. The first scans were performed transvaginally in order to identify embryonic life at various gestational ages from as early as 42 days onwards as directed by their specialist. Most patients were scanned at 6–7 weeks. If no live embryo was detected at the initial scan then a scan was repeated after a 7-day interval. A second scan was required to identify a live embryo in 0.93% of pregnancies (3/322). At the time of the first scan, the following background data were obtained: maternal age, prior history of miscarriage and symptoms of bleeding in early pregnancy. The precise gestational age was recorded from the available ART treatment cycle data and expressed as estimated menstrual age by convention. The ultrasound parameters recorded at the time of this first scan establishing embryonic life were MSD, CRL and EHR. The MSD was calculated in mm from the average of three orthogonal dimensions measured from the inner sac wall/chorionic fluid interface. The CRL was taken as the greatest length in mm of the embryo. The difference between the MSD and CRL in mm was then calculated for each case.
Pregnancies were excluded from the study if there was evidence of more than one gestation or if no live embryo was identified. No pregnancies in women with uterine anomalies were included in this sample. A technical team of six dedicated obstetric sonographers supervised by two full time sub-specialists in obstetric and gynecological ultrasound performed all the transvaginal ultrasound examinations. The scans were carried out on ATL HDI 3000 and 3500 systems (Phillips Ultrasound, Bothell, WA, USA), using 8–4-MHz transvaginal transducers. All measurements were taken according to established unit protocols. Interobserver variation was minimized by standardization of the individual techniques against the primary researcher prior to commencement of the project. Thermographic prints of each study were submitted to the supervising sub-specialists to enable ongoing technical audit.
The pregnancies were followed for survival to 11–14 weeks and to 18–20 weeks by review of subsequent ultrasound scan results. If no subsequent scan results were available, then clinical pregnancy outcome data was sought from the treating obstetrician. The adverse outcome variable was spontaneous miscarriage, which was defined as pregnancy loss occurring subsequent to the first viability scan and prior to 20 weeks. This complies with the clinical definition for spontaneous miscarriage in Victoria, Australia. The gestational age at the time of the pregnancy loss was recorded.
Data were collected on Microsoft Excel 2000 (Microsoft Corp, Redmond, WA, USA) and statistical analyses were performed using the Stata statistical package version 5 (Stata Corporation, College Station, TX, USA). Individual univariate analyses using logistic regression were performed separately for MSD and CRL and MSD − CRL to examine the association with spontaneous miscarriage prior to 20 weeks as a binary outcome. The estimates for parameters for each model were expressed as odds ratios (ORs) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
A multivariate model was then developed using logistic regression to examine the association with spontaneous miscarriage, including five variables in combination: maternal age, gestational age at the scan when embryonic heart motion was first detected, MSD, CRL and EHR. This produced the ORs of spontaneous miscarriage based on each observed variable, correcting for the confounding effect of the other variables included in the multivariate analysis. In particular, including gestational age as a factor in the multivariate analysis accounts for any confounding effect of this variable on EHR. MSD − CRL was not included as a parameter in the multivariate model because this value is a function of MSD and CRL and therefore strongly correlated with both these variables. The results of the multivariate analysis, and the univariate analyses for MSD only and CRL only were compared with those of the univariate analysis for MSD − CRL.
A separate receiver–operating characteristics (ROC) curve was generated for four models: the MSD only, CRL only, MSD − CRL and the multivariate models. The ROC curves of the MSD only, CRL only and multivariate models were compared with that of the MSD − CRL model using the area under the curve8 (ROC area); this area was used as a global assessment of the performance or diagnostic accuracy of each model for spontaneous miscarriage. P-values for determining if significant differences existed between the ROC areas of each of these models versus that of the MSD − CRL model were also estimated. The regression coefficients and 95% CIs for each parameter were calculated and a method for estimating the individual risk of miscarriage based on the regression formula for the multivariate model was produced.
Observations were made on a total of 322 live singleton pregnancies during the 16-month course of this study. Outcome data on pregnancy survival or spontaneous miscarriage were available for 301 (93%) of these pregnancies, which formed the basis of our analyses. The age distribution of the study population was typical for an ART population, with a mean (SD) maternal age of 34 (4.4) years. The gestational age at which the viability scans were performed ranged from 42–62 (median, 44; SD, 3.8) days. The overall incidence of early pregnancy bleeding in the study population was 19.3% (58/301) and 7.9% (24/301) had a past history of spontaneous miscarriage. Spontaneous miscarriage prior to 20 weeks occurred in 13.6% (41/301) of cases, at a mean gestational age of 10 (range, 6–15) weeks. The incidences of both early pregnancy bleeding and past history of spontaneous miscarriage were no higher in the miscarriage group compared with the overall study population. Of the 41 women who suffered spontaneous miscarriage, seven (17%) had bleeding symptoms and only two (4.8%) had a past history of miscarriage.
The results of the separate logistic regression analyses are presented in Table 1. Univariate analysis of the MSD − CRL model demonstrated a significant effect for the prediction of miscarriage (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.77–0.94). MSD and CRL as separate parameters demonstrated similar significant associations with subsequent miscarriage in univariate analyses as well as when part of a multivariate model. The ROC curves for each model are depicted in comparison with that of the MSD − CRL model in Figures 1–3. Table 2 sets out the comparative results of the MSD only, CRL only and multivariate model against the previously established MSD − CRL model. These comparisons showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the ROC areas between the MSD only and the MSD − CRL models (P < 0.01). MSD as an individual parameter was a better overall predictor of spontaneous miscarriage compared with MSD − CRL (ROC area, 0.75 vs. 0.65). There was an even greater difference in the ROC areas between the multivariate model and the MSD − CRL model which was also statistically significant (ROC area, 0.87 vs. 0.65; P < 0.01). The best diagnostic accuracy for spontaneous miscarriage was therefore achieved when five variables unique to each woman's first viability scan were included in a multivariate model (i.e. maternal age, gestational age at viability scan, MSD, CRL and EHR). The regression coefficients in the multivariate predictive model for spontaneous miscarriage are shown in Table 3. From this the following equation was developed to create an individualized risk assessment for singleton pregnancies following assisted reproduction.

Equation for estimating the individual risk of subsequent miscarriage in early live embryos using regression coefficients for the multivariate model from Table 3
To use the parameters in the multivariate model, X* must be calculated by the formula:
X* is then transformed into the predicted probability via the equation:
For example, consider the individual who has age = 43 years, gestational age at viability scan = 45 days, MSD = 10 mm, CRL = 7 mm and EHR = 100 bpm. X* is:
and the probability of miscarriage is:
The aim of this study was to identify the model with the best diagnostic accuracy for predicting subsequent spontaneous miscarriage in women with live singleton embryos conceived using ART. The previously established MSD − CRL model was compared with univariate models of MSD, CRL and a new multivariate model. The multivariate model was based on maternal age, gestational age, MSD, CRL, and EHR data obtained at the first transvaginal scan that established the presence of a live embryo. Analyses of the data presented from this ART population clearly demonstrated that the multivariate model had the best ability to discriminate between pregnancies destined to abort spontaneously and those that survived into the second trimester. Specifically, this multivariate model had a significantly better ROC curve compared with that obtained using MSD − CRL as the sole parameter for determining pregnancy prognosis (Table 2 and Figure 3). MSD as an individual parameter also performed better in a comparative univariate analysis than did the MSD − CRL model in predicting miscarriage (Table 2). Our data did not therefore show any diagnostic advantage to support the use of MSD − CRL as a predictive parameter.
We included MSD and CRL as parameters in the current multivariate predictive model as both of these variables are expected to increase with advancing gestational age consistent with early growth in both the chorionic sac and the embryonic pole. Separate univariate analyses of these parameters demonstrated a reduction in the risk of miscarriage as each of these variables increased (Table 1). The same effect was shown for each of these parameters within the multivariate analysis. Unique non-ultrasound-based factors also have a role in predicting miscarriage. EHR and maternal age were included as factors within our multivariate predictive model because these are recognized risk factors for miscarriage. Embryonic bradycardia of 85 bpm or less is universally associated with impending miscarriage9–11. A trend of decreased miscarriage risk was demonstrated in association with increasing EHR within our multivariate analysis (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.92–1.00). It has long been recognized that advanced maternal age is a risk factor for early pregnancy loss. The biological explanation includes the fact that meiotic non-disjunction during oogenesis is more frequent in older mothers and their offspring are at increased risk of trisomies 13, 16, 18 and 2112, 13. The incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in spontaneous abortuses during the first trimester has been reported to be as high as 61.5%14. In the current multivariate analysis, increasing maternal age demonstrated a trend towards an increased risk of subsequent miscarriage as expected (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.03–1.27).
In the setting of the present study, the precise gestational age at which a live embryo was first detected for each pregnancy was available from the individual ART treatment cycle data. Transvaginal ultrasound scans were routinely performed in these pregnancies from 42 to 62 days' gestation in order to identify a live embryonic pole. In the multivariate analysis, the later in gestation embryonic heart motion was first seen, the higher the risk of subsequent miscarriage (OR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.41–2.17). This is presumably because the less healthy embryos destined to eventually abort are smaller and therefore more difficult to visualize on transvaginal ultrasound until later in gestation.
The theoretical advantage of a predictive model based simply on MSD − CRL is that knowledge of accurate gestational age data is not required. The evidence supporting the use of an abnormally small difference in size between the gestational sac and the embryonic pole as a test for subsequent miscarriage comes mainly from the earliest series5, 6. An arbitrary MSD − CRL threshold of 5 mm or less has been used to define abnormally small sacs in a prospective series6. By this criterion the estimated risk of subsequent miscarriage was as high as 94% (15/16) vs. 8% in 52 controls, if the sacs were small in the presence of a normal EHR. This study was, however, small and it did not attempt to assess the size of either the sac or the embryo as individual parameters with respect to gestational age.
The performance of MSD − CRL as the primary criterion for establishing early pregnancy prognosis is still controversial. A larger prospective series using an even lower MSD − CRL threshold of 10 mm demonstrated a much lower sensitivity of only 56% for predicting miscarriage7. The authors compared the predictive ability of small-for-dates MSD and CRL (with respect to known conceptual dates), vs. that of MSD − CRL and found a higher sensitivity for predicting miscarriage using either small sac size (82%) or small embryo size (77%) as individual parameters. This is consistent with our data. The sensitivity for miscarriage when both the MSD and CRL were smaller than expected for known gestational age was 71%, again higher than that for MSD − CRL. These findings support the use of MSD, CRL and accurate gestational age data as separate parameters within a multivariate model for the prediction of subsequent miscarriage in early live embryos.
Data from more recent series further support the practice of including multiple parameters for predicting subsequent miscarriage in sonographically established live embryos. The first study to combine gestational sac size (mean of two diameters), CRL and abnormal EHR for the prediction of early pregnancy outcome was a large series of 603 embryos15. Twenty-three pregnancies ended in first-trimester miscarriage after viability had first been established sonographically. The authors did not use the traditional MSD − CRL parameter; instead, nomograms were generated for the ratio of sac size/CRL against EHR, gestational age and CRL. They found that combining abnormal sac size/CRL ratios with abnormal EHR values based on arbitrary thresholds had a higher sensitivity for miscarriage (78.3%) than did either parameter alone. Their two-dimensional sac size/CRL ratio is not however an established parameter of embryonic growth and it was unfortunate that the authors did not use the conventional three-dimensional MSD which is a more widely accepted parameter of sac size. Direct comparisons of results from other series are therefore extremely difficult to make.
Logistic regression was used to study prediction of spontaneous miscarriage in 149 viable early pregnancies with bleeding16. In this prospective study a significant association was found between the occurrence of miscarriage and fetal bradycardia, an abnormal MSD − CRL (< 0.5 SD from the mean) and discordant menstrual and sonographic age (> 1 week). The probability of miscarriage was highest when all three risk factors were present (84%). In this comparative study, embryonic bradycardia had the most powerful independent association with pregnancy outcome in women with threatened miscarriage. No direct comparison was made, however, between a predefined multivariate model and one based solely on MSD − CRL for predicting spontaneous miscarriage. Our study had a larger sample size and the benefit of precise gestational age estimates. Also, the sample population in our study was not selected on the basis of bleeding symptoms in order to better reflect the wider ART population.
We acknowledge that the predictive implications of the present pilot study are confined to an ART population of older women with precise gestational age data available, and may be applicable only in the gestational age range of 42–62 days. Our multivariate equation requires prospective evaluation in a new sample population. Further study would be required to establish the optimum risk threshold for detecting miscarriage, which would include consultation with the caring physicians. Accepting that no screening test is completely accurate, then the optimum risk threshold of a predictive model is when the test-positive cut-off risk yields a specific combination of sensitivity and specificity that is acceptable clinically. In this setting, for example, a false-positive result would result only in exposure to a repeat scan so a cut-off risk with a relatively high false-positive rate could conceivably be acceptable in order to produce a higher sensitivity. Including a wider gestational age range may make this model more relevant. The predictive equation may also require adjustment for populations with different maternal or gestational age ranges depending on the referral base and ultrasound protocols of specific departments.
There is a clear clinical advantage in using a multivariate model for predicting early pregnancy outcome. Based on the multivariate regression equation and respective coefficients from analysis of our data (Table 3), the probability of subsequent spontaneous miscarriage can be generated for each individual singleton ART pregnancy from parameters assessed at the first scan demonstrating a live embryo. By evaluating the individual risk of spontaneous miscarriage against the background population risk, any follow-up scans can be directed more effectively. There is thus a potential not just for improving clinical practice but also for decreasing public health expenditure. On an individual note, any reassurance or caution regarding pregnancy outcome may also be given based on a more robust predictive model. This is especially helpful for couples with assisted conception as there is often a high background level of anxiety.
Further study in a new ART population is now required to test the performance of this model as a screening test for subsequent miscarriage, assessing for sensitivity, specificity and predictive values. The optimum risk threshold for predicting pregnancy outcome also needs to be established.

A word to the wise: if and when you play The Last Tinker: City of Colors, have a pair of sunglasses on hand. Or have your contrast or gamma or brightness or whatever turned way, waaaay down. Or…well, do whatever you can to dim the screen a little, because the game’s default setting is, apparently, “hideous eyesore”. (Note: there’s also a color-blind version. This does not look substantially better, though the colors are more puke-inspired than eye-searing, so…progress?)
And once you have muted The Last Tinker’s colors, what then? Does that make it worth playing? In a nutshell: yep.
See, this game is a throwback to Ratchet & Clank, to Jak & Daxter, to Sly Cooper: to all those excellent 3D platformers that, other than Knack and maybe Rayman, don’t seem to appear much on non-Nintendo platforms anymore. You’ve got your animal character with an attitude (in this case, a simian named Koru), you’ve got a sidekick (a pig-sheep-hybrid-thingy called Tap), you’ve got a couple of different worlds to explore — basically, it hews very closely to the formula established by those games, and it does that extremely well. Throw in hint of de Blob, with the heavy emphasis that color plays in The Last Tinker’s storyline, and Tearaway, with the use of papercraft in some of the environments, and you’ve got a pretty good idea of what you’re in for here.
Admittedly, this seems to be a little more child-oriented than any of those games. If that wasn’t obvious from the color palette — that, again, looks like technicolor rainbow vomit — then it should be from the controls. You can’t jump, which is…well, kind of crazy when you think about it, since this is a platformer we’re talking about. As you can imagine, not needing to press the jump button makes things significantly easier than in any of those aforementioned predecessors. (In fairness, as you progress through the game, timing your forward motion matters a little more, but it still doesn’t quite have the same feel.)
Despite that — and, not to drive this into the ground, despite that godawful color scheme — The Last Tinker is still a wonderful game. It may not stray very far from its influences, but considering how well it borrows from them, it hardly needs to. This is an adorable, easy-to-love game, and it’s well worth a play.

An epic history of the Mongols as we have never seen them?not just conquerors but also city builders, diplomats, and supple economic thinkers who constructed one of the most influential empires in history. The Mongols are widely known for one thing: conquest. In the first comprehensive history of the Horde, the western portion of the Mongol empire that arose after the death of Chinggis Khan, Marie Favereau shows that the accomplishments of the Mongols extended far beyond war. For three hundred years, the Horde was no less a force in global development than Rome had been. It left behind a profound legacy in Europe, Russia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, palpable to this day. Favereau takes us inside one of the most powerful sources of cross-border integration in world history. The Horde was the central node in the Eurasian commercial boom of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and was a conduit for exchanges across thousands of miles. Its unique political regime?a complex power-sharing arrangement among the khan and the nobility?rewarded skillful administrators and diplomats and fostered an economic order that was mobile, organized, and innovative. From its capital at Sarai on the lower Volga River, the Horde provided a governance model for Russia, influenced social practice and state structure across Islamic cultures, disseminated sophisticated theories about the natural world, and introduced novel ideas of religious tolerance. The Horde is the eloquent, ambitious, and definitive portrait of an empire little understood and too readily dismissed. Challenging conceptions of nomads as peripheral to history, Favereau makes clear that we live in a world inherited from the Mongol moment.
Marie Favereau is Associate Professor of History at Paris Nanterre University. She has been a member of the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology, a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study, and a research associate at Oxford University for the major project madic Empires. Her books include La Horde d’Or et le sultanat mamelouk and the graphic novel Gengis Khan.

Politics vs. Patriotism.
Yesterday, after I expressed dismay at the lack of leadership in the Democratic party and concern over the behavior of the Republican party, I was accused by a 21 year old student of being unpatriotic.
I made no partisan political comment or statement supporting or endorsing one candidate or party over the other. I have, however, been registered to vote for 15 years, have voted in every state, local and national election since then (absentee ballots when necessary) and have served 13 years in the military.
Somehow, I'm unpatriotic?
Well, F***k me! I never knew!
I guess I'll go turn myself in now.... But before I do:
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
-Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
Hey! Wasn't he a Republican????

The Persian Leaps Playlist Takeover!
Our latest playlist takeover comes from The Persian Leaps! Singer, Drew Frosberg commented on the playlist saying, “Here’s a collection of songs that inspired the Persian Leaps. The songs are mostly guitar-oriented college/indie rock from the 1980s-1990s, which is our sweet spot. However, the mix ends with “Call Your Girlfriend,” by Robyn. It might seems like an odd inclusion but I absolutely love Robyn! We have a cover version of this song that we might release some day. My no-longer-secret ambition is to record an EP of Robyn covers.”
Their latest EP Bicycle Face will be dropping this Friday! Until then, check out this awesome playlist!
