Severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease often coexist. Coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be challenging in patients with prior transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Depending on the type and position of the implanted valve, the procedure can be challenging or even unfeasible due to interference of diagnostic catheters and valve parts. The correct positioning of the TAVI prosthesis during TAVI was identified as an important factor with regard to the feasibility of subsequent CA or PCI. TAVI has been also associated with vascular, cerebrovascular and conduction complication. One is rare but life-threatening complication, coronary ostial obstruction. Coronary ostial obstruction can develop, especially if a safety check of more than 10 mm of coronary ostial height is not taken into consideration during TAVI. This complication can cause recurrent episodes of angina and can severely worsen the patient's cardiac systolic function.

Saint Vincent College is a welcoming environment, sharing the core values of the Benedictine tradition, especially hospitality, community, love, prayer and respect for the dignity of all.
Founded in 1848 by Boniface Wimmer, a monk from Bavaria, we are the first Benedictine college in the United States. Saint Vincent College has striven to embody the ideals and character of the 1,500-year-old heritage of Benedictine education. For 170 years, the monks of Saint Vincent have exemplified and carried on this living Benedictine tradition.
Got monks? We do, and we're proud of it.
Elizabeth Loftus of Harrisburg, a computing and information science major at Saint Vincent College, is completing a senior research project that demonstrates how commonly available forensic methods can recover information from mobile phones that were not properly erased before being recycled.
Loftus began her research by ordering a box of 30 phones from Goodwill Industries for $10. "Only six of the phones had readable data on them," she reported. "However, what I was able to recover on those phones was really amazing. You never know what you are going to find because they belonged to real people."
"Most people don't realize when they turn in a phone for recycling, even if they have done the recommended resets, a lot of data is still readable by forensic software that is available to anyone," she said.
"One of the phones I studied contained evidence of illegal activity," she noted. "I reported what I had found to my advisers on my senior project, Dr. Cynthia Martincic and Dr. Anthony Serapiglia. We immediately brought it to the attention of college counsel Bruce Antkowiak who referred it to the district attorney in the area where the owner resided. It turned out that the owner had already been arrested and was in jail so none of the phone data was used to bring criminal charges against him. However, that could have happened."
If information stored on a mobile device is not properly erased, forensic methods can recover and exploit this private information. "The importance of this practice has become more evident in recent times, as law enforcement agencies are often tasked with extracting crucial evidence from suspects' devices."
Loftus suggested that people use great care when recycling their old phones. "Factory resetting is not enough," she advised. "Only about half of the data is overwritten."
Loftus' study was designed to emphasize the accessibility of personal information from mobile devices when storage units are not erased and to demonstrate methods for extracting and uncovering information from mobile devices by forensic means.
"I collected recycled mobile devices and by performing various forensic examinations sought to identify past owners," Loftus explained. "I believe that the average person does not consider the quantity of non-public personal information that is stored on a mobile device before they abandon any expectation of privacy they may have had in that device. I sought to prove this by recovering lost or abandoned data from these devices."
The phones involved in the research study represented a wide variety of operating systems. "Two ran iOS, one ran Android, two ran Blackberry and one ran Windows Mobile," she said. "The data collected on these devices during my examinations using Oxygen Forensic Suite software varied in quantity. I will perform similar tests using Paraben Device Seizure during the upcoming months."
"I am not associated with any law enforcement agency and therefore I am not working on a live criminal investigation," she noted. "Instead, I performed post-mortem memory examinations which means that the device examined was in a dead state. These types of investigations have a very low risk of jeopardizing data because there is no need for passwords or other credentials nor is there need for a disconnection from mobile networks to gain optimal access to the system."
In addition to her major in computing and information science, Loftus is also completing minors in criminology, law and society and in forensic studies – cybersecurity. After she completes her undergraduate degree at Saint Vincent in May, she plans to pursue a master of science degree in fraud and forensics at Carlow University and a full-time job in the information technology field with an area corporation.
At Saint Vincent, Loftus has been active in women's varsity golf, campus ministry and served as a volunteer note taker. She has been honored with membership in the Dean's List and Alpha Iota Mu (information systems honor society).
She has completed internships with the Pennsylvania Justice Network in Harrisburg and as an information technology intern with the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, also in Harrisburg.
Daughter of Zoe and Jim Loftus, she is a 2013 graduate of Bishop McDevitt High School. She is a member of Saint Catherine Laboure Church, Harrisburg.

I wouldn't suggest boyd to anyone. I stuck around for 6 months only so that i wouldn't have to go with a trainer at another company. Every week i was geting home latter and later. i talked to milton witch is over the dispatchers and he told me that i wasnt geting a new dispatcher and we needed to work it out. so then i went to the next person up and was told that thats the way it is. about a week ago i had to sit for 2 days with out pay becouse he failed to make an appointment that needed scheduled 48 hours before. then they tryed to make me go into NY with out a hud sticker.

You can't just go above your dispatcher's head with out atleast bringing your issues to the table. You have to try to work it out on the ground level first, and if that doesn't work to your satisfaction, then you can bring it higher up the chain. Have you brought this up with your dispatcher yet?
ya i have tryed to and that didnt work.
That's all surprising to me. My bf has only had 1 weekend he wanted home that he couldn't make it. Otherwise if he wanted home he was here. He has requested new tarps and received them with no problems. The longest he's sat was overnight and that was only because night dispatch had nothing in his area headed towards home. His dispatcher has even routed him out of route to get him home on the weekend. The only issue he ever had with his dispatcher was dealt with promptly and no issues with him since. As for the HUD sticker, I don't know what to say on that as my bf has his even though he hasn't gone to NY.
Ya me and the dispatcher has had issues for a while. i think things could have been alot better but was told i couldnt have a diffrent one. who does ur bf have.
His dispatcher is Jordan.

People will learn. I did 2 years, and got away from them. Good starter company. Can't help but laugh at new guys that think they are in heaven. I don't understand the million plus mile drivers. Who in the right mind...never mind. New and lied to drivers get your experience and always explore deep into your options.

Happy Thursday Bloggers! Only a few more days until the Fourth of July, looks like I will have to get cracking on some red, white, and blue nails pretty quickly here. In the mean time I was scoping out Pinterest and saw these adorable navy striped nails that I totally loved. So imagine my surprise when one of my BFF's actually text me a picture of the same exact manicure saying that she found a super cute manicure she thought I should try. So of course then I had to try it!
This was as close as I could get, but man was it time consuming!!! I started with 2 coats of a gorgeous dark/ navy blue by Kleancolor called Neon Sapphire
On the example I was following they easily made their stripes using the Sally Hansen strips found in their French Manicure kit. Unfortunately, I didn't have this, so I was forced to cut up and use scotch tape to tape off the striped sections for white. I felt like this worked pretty well despite all the time it took. For the white polish I used Snow Me White by Sinful Colors which it seems like I always use. (Sadly it's currently the only white polish I own now due to an unfortunate mishap moving all my nail bins to make room for new furniture. Needless to say there were accidentally several polishes harmed during this move since my boyfriend did not know those plastic bins weren't all one piece and came apart. If you think that is bad, you should see my carpet. Agh horrible! I am in the process of watching a million You Tube videos to find the best way to get rid of it.If you have any advice I will gladly accept it! I will have to post a picture of the spill, it is seriously horrifying.)
Then instead of a Red Heart I decided to use a pink. For the hearts I used a hot pink by Sinful Colors that must be pretty old because it was their old bottle design and the sticker with the name was gone (sorry). I just used an old art paint brush to paint on the hearts. Hope you like it! Not quite as good as the one from Pinterest, but it was fun trying! They've been very eye catching at work as many of my customers have loved them., so let me know what you think!

I wrote in the last post that my ex-girlfriend had said that I would forget all about her when I met someone else, and how I took that to mean she would forget all about me when she met someone. Well, tonight I got wind of my erasure from her memory banks, and the consumation of her relationship with another fella. A fella she first started chatting to when we were still seeing one another too. Sadly the quote from Bob Marley I referenced previously isn't working it's magic anymore.
It's half past one in the morning, and I am unable to sleep, and unable to rationalise my feelings. I don't feel good, that's for sure. And I am annoyed by my own inability to 'man up' and just 'get over her' as a few well-meaning folk have tried to encouraged me to do.
That's easy for them to say.
Some say that love is "the highest form of energy", but if this is so then it cannot be destroyed or diminished. It can only be changed into another state. And a tempestous energy like love can likely only be changed into something equally as tempestous. Which is why it is said love often turns to hate, and vice versa.
Not that I am anywhere close to hate.
And I feel this way despite the fact she has met someone else. I feel this way despite the fact that her love was always conditional and mine was not, and despite the likelihood that she is in the process of forgetting me. Despite my suspicions that I was a stopgap til something better came along, and despite the fact I am a no good bum, undeserving of such wonder in my life, I FEEL this way. Despite the fact there is no hope, I feel this way. Despite the fact she even advised her family to remove me from their friends lists on Facebook, I feel this way. And despite her desire to remain friends after ripping my guts out, I feel this way.
Maybe one day I shall generate some ill-feeling that will help me get over her. Just not tonight.
Feelings, they are a pain in the fucking arse.

23 design examples manually annotated by Baymard researchers
What's this? Here you'll find 23 annotated "Store Pickup" design examples from Baymard's UX benchmark of 60 major e-commerce sites. (Note: this is less than 1% of the full research catalog.)
Omni-channel e-commerce sites will often have a unique advantage over their "online only" competitors, in the form of "Store Pickup" option(s), which is typically free and fast. This is important because our latest quantitative study on reasons for checkout abandonments reveals that 55% of US online shoppers have abandoned orders in the past quarter solely due to "Too High Extra Costs Added" (typically shipping), and that 16% have abandoned solely due to "Delivery Being Too Slow". Hence, "Store Pickup" is a strong competitive advantage as it's (typically) fast and free.
Yet, our large-scale UX testing also reveals that several of the design patterns commonly used for displaying "Store Pickup" actually cause most users to overlook the pickup option entirely.

When I create a PHP script with opening tag, a syntax error pops up:
syntax error, unexpected '<', expecting end of file
When I remove the opening tag (bad programming!), then the script runs fine. But the syntax highlighting don't work. I know the workaround for highlighting: put the opening tag in comments.
I hope this is a bug and will be fixed soon. Is there any more information available?
@adriaangijssen It seems like repl.it never needed the opening tab. But, is that a problem? Absolutely not! But the syntax highlighting thing seems like a bug tho. I am going to report it to a repl.it team member, ok? I would really appreciate if you would mark my answer with the answered batch.
@enigma_dev In the past it was no problem to use an opening tag. It's not a big problem, but if you're, in my case, learning students PHP, you have to learn them the correct syntaxis. If you combine PHP with HTML, an opening tag is needed.
It would be great if in repl.it the use of an opening tag is optional, not 'forbidden'.
It's great if you would report that highlighting bug! How do I mark your answer as the correct answer? I'm new at the forum. ;-)
@adriaangijssen From what I now, there is a button next to my answer above, which looks like a tick box or a green hook. Click on it and confirm that you want to mark it. See this post for further help: https://repl.it
marking it remarks me with 5 cycles, which is pretty neat. if you want to even give me more upvotes, upvote my answers under this post via the +1 looking like screen

Earlier this week, TIDAL, now owned by Jay-Z, enjoyed something of a relaunch. It had all sorts of big name artists on stage to talk about and relaunch the unique streaming service, and while it wasn't exactly the big deal that Jay-Z probably expected it to be, it did the job. TIDAL has been relaunched with a new message; that it's all about the artists. If you're unfamiliar with TIDAL, we took a closer look at it in a previous edition of Android Audio, and it's mostly known for being the only service out there to stream CD-quality lossless music. As in, music files that haven't been compressed to save data. Putting aside the debate about whether or not lossless is better than something like Spotify's 256kbps lossy AAC, the focus on the artists could not only bring more attention to the brand, but also revive two other key features that sets TIDAL apart.
Tidal launched towards the end of last year with the intention of offering not only lossless quality music, but also the option of reading content about key artists and releases as well as music videos and playlists put together by artists. These features sound great on paper, especially if you're someone that cares more about music than something just in the background however, the problem was that the content just wasn't that interesting until now. Or at least, it wasn't for me. I've been using TIDAL since the beginning of this year and the most interesting playlists I had come across were one prepared by British rock band Royal Blood and a playlist of Bob Marley classics. This week TIDAL got a huge shot in the arm with new and exclusive videos from the likes of Daft Punk and Alicia Keys, while there were fresh playlists from the likes of Coldplay and yes, Jay-Z himself. Curation might not be important to many other services, but when it comes to music we still like to hear what others think. It's the reason why the radio is far from dead and the Billboard charts are still a thing. So, to listen to music picked out by hit artists like Jay-Z is definitely something.
TIDAL is now in a position to offer much more than any other service out there. Sure, the list of artists that Hov himself has lined up isn't going to please everyone, but over time this will grow and while Spotify has become a part of trendy pop culture all on its own, TIDAL is getting some help from some big artists. Why is this relaunch exciting for the streaming world? Because now that Jay-Z and his pals have gotten behind the service, over time people will start expecting more from their streaming services. I have no doubt that streaming is the future of music, but Spotify and co need to offer more to keep us entertained. We've seen this trend with Google Play Music, offering music videos alongside all-you-can-eat music streaming, but those come from YouTube and feels more like an afterthought than a part of their initial offering. Over time, I can see TIDAL becoming a service that offers high-quality music alongside exclusive videos that fans will find interesting and even live performances. As it stands, this is just the beginning for TIDAL, and while they might need Jay-Z's money to bring a little more brand cachet to the service, the product is good enough to rival Google Play and Spotify on its own. Competition is good, and even if Spotify and co aren't taking notice now, in six months or so they might have to.

"Nadia's music stops time. I swear to God. Her beauty and sincerity, on stage and off, demands that the world stop and take a look"...
Originally from Quesnel, BC, Nadia von Hahn has gone from high school eccentric, to musical theater maniac, and finally, a powerhouse songstress, all in a few short years. After packing her bags, and cutting off her teenaged-dreadlocks, this small town girl graduated as class Valedictorian from The Canadian College of Performing Arts, in Victoria. There she received a $10,000 scholarship from the Canadian Heritage Arts Society, for her work in classical voice, acting, and musical theater. A diverse performer, Nadia has taken her layered artistic background and infused her own songwriting with drama, sincerity, and stubborn hope.
Described as "cinematic", "an ethereal folk powerhouse", and "an elegant songbird with a strong and angelic voice", she is poised at the beginning of an exciting and promising career. From dramatic piano balladry to lush folk melodies, her distinct luxurious vocals and empathetic lyrics are a gracious hostess to a wide audience. Her relentlessly hummable melodies, and courageously sensitive sound have drawn comparisons to Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Sarah Slean, and even Loreena McKennitt. Her unique fusion of pop, folk, and classical sensibilities have combined to create a style that is both entirely current and completely timeless, a sound that is entirely her own.
In 2008, Nadia started recording her debut album in Victoria, until one night she received a devastating e-mail. Someone had broken into the studio, and the computer was taken. There were no back-ups. Everything was gone, just when it was nearly finished. "More than anything I was in shock, thinking about the time and energy that was lost, special moments in the recordings you just can't re-create. But, eventually, the experience taught me that starting over can be a good thing, and now I'm stronger for it. I'll be releasing a very different album soon, and I pretty much feel ready to take on the world."
Nadia is currently recording her debut album, with producer Winston (Hannah Georgas, Hey Ocean!), along with songs produced by Jean-Paul Maurice (Maurice/143 Records') to be released Fall 2009.
Baby Blue
A hopeful song about hometowns, new places, and getting back on track.
Little Robin

Yah. I'm so popular sometimes I take myself out on a date and ask myself, 'what's a cute guy like me doing in a place like this?.... talking to myself?"
ah ha... anyway. yah IAC rocks. You want to a) chat on the pipeline, no hard sell b) pitch your tunes to the top 20 or 30 or 40 stations and that's it. You're gonna rock this joint. Guaranteed.

Just remember that even though your roommate joined three orgs and a club sport and has an internship and does work-study and volunteers, you do not need to do all of that, plus four classes, at once. — Adrianna Jereb '18
Senior Adrianna Jereb wrote a letter to her first-year sister Jenna about coming to Macalester. We thought she had good advice for all first-year students.
Dear Jenna,
Welcome to Mac! Since I've got a few years here under my belt, I hope I can offer you an introduction that will make your first semester a little easier. Just three years ago, I was in your shoes – settling into a Dupre dorm room, buying books for my First-Year Course, and wondering what I was in for. Looking back now, it's obvious I had no idea what coming here would mean for my life.
First off, Macalester will make it impossible not to care about the world. This school cultivates awareness in its students, an awareness that builds a sense of responsibility. I know you are ready for that. You came here with ambitious plans to join the Peace Corps after college, and while your goals might change, it's your desire to make a mark that brought you here. Macalester will help you strengthen that spirit and will give you the tools to make the kinds of changes you want to see in the world.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Like any new place, this school might feel unfamiliar at first. There's going to be a lot to navigate – new people, new environments, new ideas. Who's BriRo? Where's 10K? Why is everyone's favorite word "hegemony"? It's okay. You'll learn, along with your classmates. In all of this newness, you are not alone.
Over the course of the semester, you'll figure out how to live your life at Macalester. You'll get to know your roommate, your classmates, your profs, the Café Mac staff, and so many more people. I'll introduce you! You'll get into a rhythm with your classes – that rhythm might feel like improvised jazz most of the time, but you can handle it. Talk to your professors; they're generally kind people and you should advantage of their expertise. And take advantage of your classmates. What do they have to say about the world? The best thing you can do this semester (and every one after that) is to listen to the perspectives surrounding you. Conversations with your peers, who are from across the country and the globe, will expand your worldview as much as anything learned in your classes.
That said, there's going to be a lot going on, so don't overdo it. Macalester students are notorious for getting a weird pleasure out of working too hard. I guarantee you're going to hear them bragging about how many pages they have to read, how many papers they have to write, and how few hours they slept last night. This tendency to take on so much at once is partly due to the fact that Macalester students tend to have so many interests, and partly due to how many opportunities are available here. Just remember that even though your roommate joined three orgs and a club sport and has an internship and does work-study and volunteers, you do not need to do all of that, plus four classes, at once. You have a few years to test out all the possibilities.
Even so, this semester is going to go fast. By the time December rolls around and we leave cold, snowy Minnesota for cold, snowy Wisconsin, Macalester will have become second nature. It might start to feel like your second home as you begin to recognize the stream of faces you pass between the campus center and the library. You will realize how much you have grown when the campus you once got lost in begins to feel like a cocoon.
You'll often hear the phrase "the Mac bubble," in reference to the idea that Macalester is somehow insulated from the "real world." Of course, that isn't true. As an institution, Macalester aims for inclusivity, diversity, and acceptance, and it has a lot of policies and initiatives organized around those values, but these ideals are often difficult to reach. As colleges across the country have to work to make their campuses safe and accessible places, Macalester has to do the same. As students, we have to keep striving to make this school better. I hope that the Macalester your class joins will be a better school because my class was here.
I am so proud and excited that you chose Macalester. There's so much I want to share with you, but I'll try to let you figure this place out on your own. We might be at the same school, but know you are not following in my footsteps. You'll find your own place here, and you'll fit right in.
Your best (only) sister,
September 6 2017Back to top

AUSTIN, TEXAS—Today, St. David's Medical Center, including Heart Hospital of Austin and St. David's Georgetown Hospital campuses, announced that it has received the Healthgrades 2016 America's 100 Best Hospitals Award™ for the second consecutive year.St. David's Medical Center is the only hospital in the Austin area (including the counties of Bastrop, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Fayette, Gillespie, Hays, Lee, Llano, Travis and Williamson) to earn this award for two consecutive years—and one of only three hospitals in Texas to earn this distinction for two consecutive years. By receiving the 2016 America's 100 Best Hospitals Award, St. David's Medical Center, including Heart Hospital of Austin and St. David's Georgetown Hospital, is among the top 2 percent of more than 4,500 hospitals nationwide for its consistent, year-over-year superior clinical performance as measured by Healthgrades, the leading online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals.
"We are pleased to be recognized as one of America's 100 Top Hospitals, as it underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional care to our patients," Don Wilkerson, chief executive officer of St. David's Medical Center, said. "The dedication of our physicians, nurses and staff to providing exceptional care to every patient every day has helped this hospital gain its reputation as a national center of excellence."
From 2012 through 2014, Healthgrades America's 100 Best Hospitals Award™recipients, as a group, had a 26.5 percent lower risk adjusted mortality rate across 19 procedures and conditions where in-hospital mortality was the clinical outcome, compared to all other hospitals. During this same period, if all other hospitals had performed at the level of America's 100 Best Hospitals Award™ recipients across these 19 procedures and conditions, 170,705 lives could potentially have been saved.For example, patients treated at a hospital that has achieved the America's 100 Best Hospitals Award™ had, on average, a 32.1 percent lower risk of dying during their hospital stay for Heart Failure than if treated at a hospital that did not receive the award.
"Our analysis shows that there is tremendous variation in care, so it's important for consumers to carefully research and choose a hospital," Evan Marks, chief strategy officer of Healthgrades, said. "We commend the recipients of the America's 100 Best Hospitals Award for delivering exceptional clinical outcomes that help them stand out from their peers in terms of overall clinical performance."
Healthgrades uses objective methodology and independent public data to recognize America's best hospitals. The public data come primarily from the Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) dataset. The 100 recipients of the America's 100 Best Hospitals Award™ stand out among the rest for overall clinical excellence across a broad spectrum of care. During the 2016 study period (2012-2014), these hospitals showed superior performance in clinical outcomes for patients in the Medicare population across at least 21 of 32 of the most common inpatient conditions and procedures, as measured by objective performance data (risk-adjusted mortality and in-hospital complications).
Earlier this year, St. David's Medical Center—including Heart Hospital of Austin and St. David's Georgetown Hospital campuses—and St. David's Round Rock Medical Center received the 2016 Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence™ from Healthgrades. These St. David's HealthCare facilities are among the top 5 percent of more than 4,500 hospitals nationwide to earn this recognition for clinical performance.

Proud mommy moment
May 31, 2009
Jeff and I went to a friend's graduation party yesterday (congrats Jessie!!!), and when we got back home, Jeff's mom was holding Weston. I knelt down and asked him if he missed his mommy and he SMILED AT ME!!! Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, I kept talking to him in that high-pitched, annoying voice you use when you want a baby (or a dog for that matter) to do something cute. And it worked! Again! And again and again! It was the coolest thing, and yes, I did get a little teary-eyed. He's been smiling more ever since, which is so nice since he's our fussy baby – and I think he might even have dimples like me (I know for sure that he has at least one dimple, don't know for sure if he has two yet)!!
Anyway, I couldn't post something like this without pictures, so here are a few I've taken of Wes smiling in the last 24 hours, along with some pictures of our other little cutie!
I hope everyone had a great weekend – I'll write more later!
May 27, 2009
Tummy time
May 25, 2009
Happy long weekend!
May 24, 2009
Jeff took Max and Wes to the pediatrician on Thursday (it was actually an appointment for Wes, but we wanted to get both boys weighed), and we finally got Wes on some medicine for his reflux (Axid). We had been a little bit concerned because we noticed that he had some discoloration in his spit up, and it turns out that it was blood. Dr. Brandon thinks that it was due to irritation in his esophagus from spitting up so much (because of the reflux). Poor baby! Anyway, Jeff came home with the medicine and some new formula for us to try (the third one we've tried so far). The new formula is more thick and it's predigested so that Wes's little body won't have to work so hard to break it down. It's only a temporary thing (being on this new formula), and thank God – it's expensive!!! Dr. B wants him to be on it for a couple of weeks until his esophagus heals and he stops spitting up blood (which he already has). He hasn't seemed to struggle as much with the reflux, so we're very happy about that.
Oh, and both boys are growing like little weeds – Max was 9 pounds, and Wes is tipping the scales at 11 pounds!
So far we've had a pretty laid back (long) weekend. I've gotten some cleaning done, we had some friends over last night for the Nuggets/Lakers game, and apparently I drank too many margaritas during the game, because I didn't feel so hot this morning. Oopsie! We've spent the day today just laying around the house (damn rain!), Jeff and I catching up on some zzzz's, while our boys and Rex laid with us. I'm really savoring this time with Max and Wes, because I know it won't last long – it's just so sweet when they fall asleep laying on our chests. I can't get enough of it!
Here are some pictures I took today of all of our boys! Oh, and just so you know, we do bathe our babies – their faces just look a little greasy because of the ointment we use on the rashes they both seem to have on their faces. =)
We hope everyone is enjoying this holiday weekend!
Happy birthday, Daddy!
May 21, 2009
Today is my Daddy's 62nd birthday, so I wanted to give him a shout out –
For your viewing pleasure

I don't have much time, but wanted to post some pictures that we've taken in the last few days…
A Few Weeks, A Few Thoughts
May 19, 2009
So, I have been doing the whole Stay-At-Home-Dad bit for a few weeks now and let me tell you, this is no joke. As I have said before, I never thought this would be a walk in the park, but it is definitely harder than I ever could have imagined. Yes, I get to watch TV all day and generally not do a thing, but when you may have only slept for 3 hours you try to get in as many naps as possible between the 2.5 hours you have left before the next feeding. The day to day events aren't so bad – it's mainly the sleep, or lack thereof. It's amazing how little sleep ones body can actually run on. Next up would have to be Wes's reflux. Some feedings he is perfectly fine, but the ones when his reflux kicks in are not fun by any means, especially for him. When it gets really bad he can be fussy ALL DAY. Trying to take care of Wes when he is in pain, while also trying to care for Max makes for a very long day. I can say (without a doubt, at least for me) that this is easier than when the boys were in the NICU. That time they spent in the hospital was so emotionally draining, which is a lot harder to deal with than the physical\sleep deprevation aspect.
Please understand that I am not complaining. We have waited for this for so long, and at this point there is still no other place I would rather be than at home taking care of our boys. I wish Kerry could be here with me, too. Not so much for the help, but so that she could get to see and hear and feel everything I do.
I should probably take some people up on their offers to go on walks and such, i just have not found my rhythm yet. Once the boys and I do get into our rhythm I will be more up for getting out of the house with the them. I would love to get out for lunch and\or to the zoo, or anything really. Well, not anything – crowded, confined spaces are known to be germ havens so they are out of the question.
I have an appointment for Wes on Thursday to see if the doc will do anything for his reflux. Once that is under control I think things will be a lot better.
To wrap it up, getting to be home with the boys is the best feeling ever because I get to watch them grow physically and mentally. I can see them recognizing me more and more every day, and the facial expressions they make as their little personalities develop are priceless.
3 months old!!!
May 16, 2009
(gestational age is 4 weeks)
Not enough hours in the day
May 15, 2009
How silly of me to think that I could still update our blog on a daily basis once the boys were home – there aren't enough hours in the day these days! Jeff and I are finally in the swing of things with all of our new responsibilities (me back at work and he primarily caring for Max and Wes while working a few small jobs on the side), and in the off-chance that we have some free time, we just don't spend it on the computer anymore. I know I don't have to apologize to anyone here, I'm just letting y'all know that I haven't forgotten about the blog (or the fact that our friends and family rely on us to keep them updated with pictures of Max and Wes)!
This week has flown by – I'm so glad it's Friday! Jeff and I use the weekends to catch up on sleep and get stuff done around the house that we don't have time for during the week. I'm hoping we can get some cleaning in this weekend, and then maybe I can get a pedicure since I ended up not getting one on Mother's Day (I just didn't want to leave my boys!). On Sunday, Jeff and I are taking Max and Wes back to the Swedish NICU to drop off their preemie clothes (we are donating them to the hospital) and will be visiting our two favorite nurses, so we're really looking forward to that.
In Max and Wes news, they are (of course) cute as ever, and their personalities are really starting to show up in their waking (and sleeping) hours. Max is still our sweet little guy, hardly makes a peep, and (for the most part) sleeps soundly…when he sleeps. We've noticed that he doesn't really want to "miss out" on things – he stays awake until the last possible moment – like until his eyes are so heavy that he physically can't keep them open anymore. It's the cutest thing. Both boys have really started becoming more aware of their surroundings, and they are even following us (and our voices) with their little eyes. I've been waiting patiently for a deliberate smile from one of them, but I think with their prematurity, they may be a little delayed in this aspect. Wes is still a little stinker, fussing a lot more than Max, and still having a harder time actually staying asleep. And he still does the best when he's swaddled up tight and being held, so that's what we've been doing. I think the reflux still really bothers him (even after switching to a more "gentle" formula), but Jeff doesn't think we should make a doctor's appointment quite yet, so we're still waiting it out. Wes is still a lot chubbier than Max – if I had to guess, I would bet he weighs at least a pound and a half more than Max does – and his little rolls are soooo cute!
In breastfeeding/pumping news, I'm thisclose to the finish line and I'm proud to say I will have made my goal of making it to the boys' 3 month birthday (which is tomorrow)! Over the last few weeks, I've gradually cut my pumping sessions down, and right now I'm only pumping once a day, which I have to tell you all, is HEAVENLY. Not being tied to that stupid thing 24/7 is SUCH a relief. I seriously think that weaning from the pump has helped to alleviate some of the stress I had been feeling – it's nice to actually be able to hold and feed our boys without being hooked up to the old milker! I feel so good that I was able to give Max and Wes at least a little bit of breastmilk for their first three months, and have let go of the guilt of not being able to provide that for them any longer. I know that being exclusively formula fed isn't going to make them any less brilliant or cute or whatever than they would have been otherwise, so I'm okay with it. Finally.
And speaking of depression, I also feel like I finally have this PPD thing somewhat under control. The meds are working, and while I don't think they're working as well as I know they can, I feel significantly more "in control" of my feelings and guilt surrounding the boys' early arrival and NICU stay. I think I probably need to increase the dosage, but don't worry – I will wait to speak with my doctor before doing so. All I know is that I feel much more like myself than I have since even before the boys were born (while I was still on bed rest), so thank God for that! I know that Jeff is relieved that I finally started the meds – he told me last night that I was back to my old, weird self, so that's always a good thing! LOL!
I think that's about all for now – I promise to take some updated pictures this weekend, but in the meantime, here are some photos from when auntie LeAnn (and cousin Asher) watched the boys earlier this week…
For my Mom…
May 11, 2009
Is that enough pictures for you tonight, Mom? I love you!!!

Prairie Mining is pleased to announce that it has acquired the Debiensko Hard Coking Coal Project, a fully permitted, "mine ready" project of significant global scale. This is a transformational acquisition marking Prairie's entry into the hard coking coal sector, complementing Prairie's advanced Lublin Coal Project, and creating a multi-project coal development company based in Poland to fuel European industry.
Prairie believes Debiensko has the potential to become a strategically important supplier to the European steelmaking industry and will actively pursue Debiensko's development alongside its continued progress at its flagship Lublin Coal Project.
• Debiensko is a world class, fully permitted, hard coking coal project situated in Upper Silesia in Poland, a strategic location in the steelmaking heartland of Europe where more than 80% of current coking coal usage is imported and the commodity is classified by the EC as a "Critical Raw Material".
• A large scale Coal Exploration Target has been estimated based on historical drilling and resource work completed to Polish standards, as well as data from adjacent operating mines. Coal seam qualities are indicative of internationally traded benchmark premium hard coking coals.
Table 1: Exploration Target Range
Depth Exploration Target Tonnage Range (Mt)
All seams to depth approx. 1,100 m* 120 Mt – 150 Mt
Depth 1,100 – 1,250 m 90 Mt – 110 Mt
Total 210 Mt – 260 Mt**
Quality*** Moisture Ash Volatile Matter Sulphur FSI
Weighted Average Whole
Exploration Target Range (+/-20%) 0.7 – 1.1 6.3 – 9.5 18.1 – 27.1 0.6 – 0.8 5½ – 8
* Depths are from surface – c250 m above datum
**Figures are reported to the nearest 10 Mt which is deemed appropriate for this level of estimation
***Figures are reported to one decimal place which is deemed appropriate for this level of estimation
The potential quantity and grade of the exploration targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
•Debiensko is fully permitted with a 50-year mining concession, established on-site facilities including rail, road and power infrastructure, comprehensive historical drilling data and all environmental consents. As a brownfield development project, significant historical capital investment positions Debiensko to become a meaningful, near-term regional hard coking coal producer.
•Prairie intends to undertake a work program to review all historic data, undertake an in-fill drill program, provide an updated resource to JORC standards and deliver a re-engineered mine plan to produce a Feasibility Study to international standards with a focus on near term production.
•Prairie has acquired the Debiensko project through the purchase of 100% of the shares in NWR Karbonia S.A for an upfront cash consideration of €0.5m (~A$0.7m) and deferred cash consideration of €1.5m (~A$2.2m).
•Through this acquisition, Prairie acquires a highly experienced team of Polish mining specialists including engineers, mine managers, mine planners, geologists, surveyors and environmental specialists that brings substantial synergies to expedite permitting and development of Prairie's flagship Lublin Coal Project.
"For a long time, Debiensko has been regarded as the last major undeveloped hard coking coal project in Europe" said Ben Stoikovich, Chief Executive Officer of Prairie. "This transaction not only marks Prairie's entry into the hard coking coal sector through ownership of a strategically located and fully permitted asset on the doorstep of Central European steelmakers, but also further cements our belief in the future of the Polish coal mining industry."
Founder and Managing Partner of CD Capital, Carmel Daniele said: "CD Capital, as a cornerstone investor in Prairie, is very excited about the company's successful addition of a second coking coal project. We are long-term investors and partners in the group and we are committed to working with Prairie's management team to realise the full development potential of its projects. The acquisition of the Debiensko hard coking coal project, together with the semi-soft coking coal from Prairie's flagship Lublin Coal Project, will position Prairie to be the next strategic coking coal supplier to Europe's steel industry."

Study Tips to Help You Through Midterms
Bishop's has one of the best work-play balances in the country. With many opportunities to play, it is important to remember that your primary objective sometimes must be to work. Establishing a good work and study ethic will allow you to attain great academic success. Consider the following questions when setting up your study schedule. While you answer these next few questions, be honest with yourself. It's the only way you'll develop a schedule you can follow.
- How much time a week can you contribute to studying a particular subject? I recommend setting aside about 34 hours a week per subject which comes to about 1520 hours a week for students taking a full course load. Some weeks may require more or less. If at any point your extracurricular activities compromise your allocated study time, you may want to reconsider your priorities.
- Do you need to spend more time on a certain subject? If you are a Physics wiz and Spanish is not your cup of tea, you may want to allocate more time to practicing your Spanish verbs. Spending less time studying physics may be an option also.
- Are you a night owl or an early bird? This is extremely important. I spent so much time trying to convince myself I was an early bird. I'd go to bed early with the intention of waking up at 7am and getting to the library at 8 am. Although I would wake up at 7 am, I could not physically get out of bed until 8:30 am. Once I accepted the fact I was a night owl, I felt a lot better. I could go to bed without the stress of hoping to finish my work in the morning before class because it was already done.
- In what kind of environment are you the most productive? My roommate needs a space with a lot of light and total silence. I usually listen to music when I study and prefer long tables, which give me as much space as possible. Some need a space that has food nearby. Some like to get their work done on the couch whereas others may need a sturdy chair. Identify the best work space for you as early as possible and don't hesitate to change spots once in awhile.
These questions are meant to aid you in identifying the study style that allows you to be most productive and able to get your work done efficiently. Your focus should be on the amount of work you get done and how well you understand the material rather than the amount of time you have spent doing work. The two aforementioned factors are your indicators that you have established the best system. Also keep in mind that your schedule is flexible and subject to change on a weekly and even daily basis. I recommend at the beginning of each week writing down all the projects, meetings and activities you have scheduled for the week. This will allow you to set up an adequate timetable that you can follow.
Now that you've identified your study style, here are some great places to study:
The library is great and has spaces for different study styles. The couch room is more for casual studying. People study and do readings on the couches. It is also an excellent place for light group discussions. Same can be said for the map room and graduate room located in the basement.For silent areas, the reference room and the deepest part of the basement (a.k.a. the dungeon) are your best options. The other areas, particularly the cubicles on the second floor are quiet spaces. What's also great about the library is that I do not have to lug around my laptop. I can either borrow a laptop from the front desk or use the computer lab. I can also do my readings if the professor has put the required textbook on reserve. I do not have to purchase the book which saves me a couple of bucks.
Dewhurst is another good place to study if you are not easily distracted and can concentrate with noise around. One great advantage is that you are near an abundance of food.
Other great options for completing work are the lounges in the sports complex and the study hall in the Gait.
Lastly, some departments have designated lounges for their student. This is true for chemistry, biology, business, and education, as well as some other departments.
Happy studying and good luck on your midterms!

The fourth release on Black Rox finds the Africa-loving label looking to a fine pair of suitors to do the business on a fine pair of edits. Soft Rocks is up first, channelling all the sun of the source material into a track called "Date With The Rain". It's a sweet natured jam layered with gorgeous vocals, perfect Afro guitar licks and a bubbling organ line. Roots Unit takes over on the B side with the more tricky-to--pin-down affair that puts snaking percussion at the front of the mix and loops up some mantras and chants for a truly head-spinning end result.

Frequently Asked Questions
In Colorado any elected official can be recalled for legitimate grievances. For the Recall Sheriff Tony Spurlock effort, we will have 60 days from the date the petition is certified to collect the needed 35,000 valid signatures. Once the signatures are collected, they will be verified by the County Clerk, and if successful, a special election will be triggered. This election would ask the voters if they would like to see "Sheriff Tony Spurlock recalled from office?" while also allowing voters to simultaneously vote for his replacement. PLEASE NOTE: The petition does not effectively recall the elected official; and signing it simply states you agree the question should go to the voters to decide.
We will need to collect 35,000 valid signatures.
A valid signature for the Recall Sheriff Tony Spurlock effort is from a Colorado voter who is registered to vote in Douglas County. When signing, their name, address, and signature must match that of their voter registration. It is important that nicknames aren't used, and that if the voter has moved recently, they use the address where they are registered to vote on the date they are signing. If they have recently moved to Douglas county, they will need to update their voter registration with their new address before signing the petition.
CLICK HERE to check your voter registration and/or make changes.
CLICK HERE to register to vote.
Anyone age 18 or over with a valid ID can volunteer to collect signatures. They DO NOT need to be a Douglas County resident, or even registered to vote.
While petitioning, it is important that the signature collector witnesses each signature and never leaves their petition unattended in public. When the petition is full or the collector is done, the documents will need to be notarized.
The Recall Sheriff Tony Spurlock team is working diligently to ensure all the pieces for a successful recall are put into place before pulling petitions and triggering the 60 day countdown of signature collection. This includes research, data collection, volunteers, fundraising, etc. As soon as this is complete, the recall will launch. We anticipate a late summer start date.
If you would like specific details about a start date, please CONTACT US.
You can help by pre-registering to sign a petition if you are a Douglas County resident. When you pre-register, someone will contact you to sign the physical petition as soon as it is available. PRE-REGISTER HERE.
Volunteer to collect petition signatures. We will need hundreds of volunteers, whether they are filling several petitions or simply collecting from their family, friends, and neighbors. No matter what your committment level, we need you. VOLUNTEER HERE.
We can't run a successful recall without the contributions of those who support the effort! Your donations are greatly appreciated. DONATE HERE.
Do you have information, suggestions, or would like to help with something else? Please CONTACT US HERE.

Asian Tribune is published by E-LANKA MEDIA(PVT)Ltd. Vol. 20 No. 103
Same actors, different venues
The attack carried out on May 13 on Muslim minority, mainly in NWP, leading to the death of three innocent people who had nothing to do with the terrorists who took part in the Easter Sunday massacre of mostly worshipers.
The damage caused to properties on this day is almost parallel to what we saw on Easter Sunday or only slightly less.
The pasta factory set on fire on this fateful day made all wage earners of this business to lose their jobs and 90 percent of whom belonged to the majority community.
However, the actors who featured in the atrocities are the same who participated in the Aluthgama, Ampara and Digana ugly incidents.
In a way this is a consolation for the minority community to be assured that the majority community was not in support of this and it is only a group comprised of some helmet wearing thugs who were instigated by certain politicians.
All those suffered by this cruel act had nothing to do with the suicide bombers at all and in fact they have openly condemned the terrorists who were responsible for the mass murder. Like those who died on Easter Sunday not knowing why on earth they were killed the May 13 victims too are in a loss to understand why they were attacked.
All these cruelties committed by both parties have done the worst damage to the country at large; loss of tourists and fear in the mind of all investors.
In this current situation we see yet another group is enjoying for it is being forgotten at least for the time being by the forces since they are busy tracking the terrorists, which is considered a bigger threat to the nation now. Could you guess who this is? Yes, you are right the drug dealers!
But we know it's not for long!

NEW YORK – The Donald Trump government wants the Supreme Court to rule on its decision to ban transgender people from the US Army. Three lower courts had previously prohibited the government from implementing the measure. That is why Washington has asked the court on Friday to examine that case.
In fact, federal courts of appeal should consider the verdicts of the three lower courts. The Trump government is of the opinion that this takes too long and has therefore stepped to the Supreme Court.
In the summer of 2017, Trump announced that he no longer wanted to allow transgender people to any post in the army. He said that the army can not be inhibited by the enormous medical costs and the disruption that transgender people in the military would bring with them.
A number of transgender soldiers then went to court to challenge Trump's decision.

Maintaining Status
While studying in the United States all F-1 and J-1 international students must follow immigration regulations as outlined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in order maintain their legal immigration status. Your status relates to the purpose of your visit to the United States: to study. You should not take any actions that detract you from that purpose.
As an F-1/J-1 student, you are admitted to the United States for "Duration of Status," which is noted as "D/S" on your I-94 Form. This means that you are permitted to stay in the United States as long as you maintain your status. F-1/J-1 is status granted when you enter the U.S. and is regulated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
It is important that you are aware that your visa is different from your immigration status. The visa is placed on your passport by a U.S. Embassy or Consulate and it is granted for entry purposes only. Even if your visa is valid, you can lose your legal student status if you do not comply with immigration laws regulating your stay in the U.S.
Maintaining status means:
- Following the purpose of your visa: to study.
- Following the regulations associated with that purpose.
It is absolutely critical that you maintain your legal immigration status at all times during your stay in the United States. Failure to do so or "falling out of status," could result in serious consequences and problems with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services. Some consequences include, but are not limited to:
- Denial of any attributes or benefits associated with your F-1 or J-1 status
- Hindering your ability to get a U.S. visa or visit the country in the future
- Deportation
Designated School Officials (DSOs) and Responsible Officers (ROs) at Tarleton are here to assist you and provide you with the information needed to maintain your legal immigration status; however, the responsibility of maintaining status is ultimately yours.
How to Maintain Status
Maintain Valid Immigration Documents
- Maintain a valid passport at all times and at least 6 months into the future.
- Attend the school listed on your current I-20/DS-2019.
- Be aware of the expiration date on your I-20/DS-2019. If you cannot complete your program of study by the expiration date listed on your I-20/DS-2019, you must request a program extension before the expiration date on your document. Students who do not file a program extension in a timely manner will be considered out of status.
- Obtain a new I-20/DS-2019 if you make any changes to you major or degree level.
- Request a travel endorsement signature on your I-20/DS-2019 from a Designated School Official or Responsible Officer before traveling outside of the United States.
Enroll in a Full-Course of Study
As an international student you are required to be registered for a full course of study in classes that meet your degree requirements during the Fall and Spring semesters.
- Undergraduate Students - 12 Credit Hours
- Graduate Students - 9 Credit Hours
Online Courses: Only 3 credit hours (or one online course) per semester are applicable towards your full-time enrollment.
- You are not required to take classes during the summer unless it is your first semester at Tarleton.
- If it's your last semester, you must take at least one face-to-face course.
Report Any Changes to Your Address
Immigration regulations require all international students to report any changes to their local address to a DSO or RO within 10 days of the change. This information needs to be updated in your SEVIS record.
Work Only with Proper Employment Authorization
Failure to request the proper employment authorization from a DSO or RO could result in termination of your immigration status.
Before applying for any job, visit our Employment section and make yourself aware of the Department of Homeland Security's employment regulations for international students.
Abide by Grace Periods
F-1 students who complete an academic program or OPT have a 60-day grace period.
J-1 students who complete an academic program have a 30-day grace period.

ODI Summit: Q&A with Dr David Tarrant
The open data movement abides by a uniquely participatory philosophy. That's because at its core it's all about using available data to solve problems. It's a logic which runs in parallel to George Santayana's famous dictum: those who do not learn from data are condemned to repeat the inefficiencies of the past.
While it's no easy task to turn raw data into an application capable of influencing real-time decisions, the rewards promised already seem great. Dr David Tarrant, Senior Trainer at the Open Data Institute, Lecturer in the Web and Internet Science Group at the University of Southampton, and all-round data advocate intends to show us how open data is already capable of making a big difference.
We asked David a couple of questions about his involvement in the upcoming ODI Summit (October 29th), and about the potential applications for open data in the near future.
What will you be talking about at the Summit?
I shall be talking about how open data brings levels of transparency and opportunity we have never seen before. Being able to combine and remix both government and commercial sources of open data brings true power to data. The case I will be presenting looks at how open data can allow citizens to critically analyse policy decisions and their impact with a use case about emergency services in London.
Which innovation or discovery in open data has most surprised you?
Open data is the innovation; the thing that most surprised me was the announcement by G8 to put open data at the heart of their charter.
What direction do you see open data heading in over the next five years, and what most excites you about the future?
Open data is a small piece in the "Web of Data" and there are many pieces still left to exploit over the next 5 and even 15 years. I think we will see the web evolve to become as powerful as Tim Berners-Lee imagined when he wrote about the semantic web.
As the number of councils, cities and countries opening up their data increases, which sector do you think stands to gain the most (business, government, commercial, environmental, etc.) and why?
All sectors can gain from each other but globally issues relating to the environment and human welfare will provide key cases to prove the benefit of open data to everyone. Saying this, none of the sectors other than transport have yet to gain significantly from open data, so all have a lot of benefits to realise.
David joins Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Martha Lane Fox and a host of other key figures for the Open Data Institute's First Annual Summit and Gala Dinner (October 29) at the Museum of London. Topics will include open data in finance and politics, the role of open data in business and Data as Culture.

A lack of cutting edge up top saw Reading FC settle for a goalless draw with Birmingham in their final game of the Championship season.
Royals had golden chances to open the scoring in the first half through youngsters Danny Loader and Josh Barrett.
They continued to dominate throughout the second half and were rarely threatened by Garry Monk's Blues.
But despite several attempts, Reading were unable to break the deadlock and were forced to settle for a stalemate.
With Royals' place in the second-tier already confirmed, Jose Gomes gave starts to young trio Josh Barrett, Michael Olise and Danny Loader.
Meanwhile, John O'Shea was given a place on the bench as he waved farewell to a glittering 20-year career in professional football.
The game got off to a fairly slow start with neither team having anything to play for, aside from personal pride.
Royals should have opened the scoring after nine minutes after Barrett scuffed a gilt-edged opportunity when Chris Gunter picked him out unmarked in the box.
Seventeen-year-old Olise then attempted two back heels following a well-worked corner routine but the Blues' defence was alert to his trickery.
But Reading also switched off at the back and relied on a strong save from Emi Martinez when Che Adams darted into the box and got his shot away.
Danny Loader – who scored his first professional goal with a wonder strike against Middlesbrough last week – thought he'd opened his Madejski Stadium account after 20 minutes.
Gunter did brilliantly to get to the byline and tease a cross towards the 18-year-old starlet but Loader's strike was somehow saved by veteran shot-stopper Lee Camp.
Olise sensationally skipped his way beyond two challenges before his left-footed strike was smartly pushed away for a corner by Camp.
The highly-regarded youngster then had a strong penalty claim turned down by referee Keith Stroud after Olise was shoved to the ground inside the area.
He continued to dictate the play and nearly started off a perfect team goal by releasing Gunter down the right after 39 minutes.
Gunter hit his cross first-time and low but the ball just trickled beyond Loader's outstretched boot.
Reading nearly gifted Birmingham a goal seconds later when Andy Yiadom carelessly slipped the ball to Adams. Royals recovered quickly however and forced the eventual strike out for a corner.
Birmingham started the second period quickly and immediately had Royals on the back foot.
Ex-Brentford man Jota found himself inside the box with space after 46 minutes but he fired a tame shot straight at Arsenal-loanee Martinez.
England U-18 World Cup winner Loader had time and space to pick his spot when he charged towards goal on the hour-mark but he fired well wide of Camp's post.
Skipper Liam Moore then went down hurt after he bravely charged down a powerful strike by Gary Gardener.
Royals upped their tempo and Barret's deflected strike from the edge of the area clipped the crossbar on its way out for a corner.
Loader tried an audacious strike on the 69th minute and was desperately unlucky not to score as the fired narrowly over the target.
Reading continued to pile on the pressure but just could not unlock a resilient Birmingham defence.
A mix-up at the back nearly allowed substitute Mo Barrow through on goal with time running out but the striker could not quite react quickly enough.
Next, there was a slight pause in play while both teams formed a guard of honour as John O'Shea stepped onto the pitch in the 88th minute.
Barrow then tried an audacious overhead kick after he was picked out by Teddy Howe – son of CEO Nigel – but the Gambian's strike flew over the crossbar in the dying seconds.
