In 2004, Dallas County, solidly Republican, solidly conservative, elected its first woman sheriff. Lupe Valdez, the daughter of migrant farm workers, a Latina and an out lesbian, made history. Soon after her win, she was on an airplane and her seatmate, the mother of a young gay man who had struggled with his sexuality, immediately recognized her.
"With your election, you have validated my son," the woman told her.
"And I wanted to scream. Why can't we just get validated for being human beings?" Valdez says as she recounts the exchange in The Out List, the just-released HBO film featuring a cross-section of out lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender figures talking about their lives, loves, issues with self-acceptance and hopes for equality under the law.
Against the backdrop of a gay community waiting to see which way the U.S. Supreme Court would go on the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Prop 8, high-profile subjects such as Neil Patrick Harris, Ellen Degeneres, Wanda Sykes, Oscar-winning filmmaker Dustin Lance Black, Scissor Sisters lead singer Jake Shears, former pro football player Wade Davis, New York City politician Christine Quinn, financial guru Suze Orman and several others speak candidly about coming out and about the challenges inherent in being LGBT in America.
"My hope is that this film is seen by a lot of young people," says director and producer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, a Miami native who was in town recently for a premiere of The Out List at the Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts. A portrait photographer whose works are in the collections of New York's Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum and The National Portrait Gallery, he is also director and producer of the films The Black List, The Latino List and 2012's About Face, featuring conversations with aging cover girls and supermodels including Christie Brinkley, Jerry Hall, Isabella Rosellini and Paulina Porizkova.
"We screened [ The Out List] in Dallas last week and a friend of one of our producers brought her 12-year-old daughter, who had just come out," Greenfield-Sanders, who grew up in the historic Miami neighborhood of Spring Garden, says over lunch at Café Sambal in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Brickell Key.
"She was very nervous. She was clearly overwhelmed. Can you imagine living in Texas, where there may be a gay world, but not for a 12-year-old girl? But on the screen were famous people she knew saying it's OK to be who you are. Including the sheriff of her city."
Even with the past week's historic rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court, major victories for same-sex marriage that set off teary, rainbow-hued celebrations from coast to coast, the fight for broad gay civil rights and for true acceptance, is hardly over. There are 37 states, including Florida, that continue to ban same-sex marriages. Across the country, gay hate crimes have been on the rise in recent years. Too often, LGBT kids who are bullied in school end up committing suicide.
But with several big battles won — the repeal of DOMA last week, the end to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," in 2011 — the fight for true equality has gained major momentum. And as gay political leaders have long understood, nothing changes hearts and minds more than knowing that your neighbor, your co-worker, your health care professional, your elected official or your matinee idol is gay and living in the light.
Greenfield-Sanders, who lives in New York with his wife Karin but returns to Miami to see his mother Ruth in Spring Garden, says he hopes The Out List helps to make a difference. The power of being out publicly hit comedian Sykes the day she spoke at a rally protesting the passage of Prop 8, which banned hard-won gay marriage in California. She was compelled by her anger to show up. But she says she hadn't stopped to really think about what her turn at that microphone could accomplish.
"In my speech I said, 'Hey, I got married — and I'm pissed,' " she says in The Out List, which debuted Thursday to coincide with the 44th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and has multiple run dates. "I get to the hotel and turn on the TV and on the CNN scroll it's: 'Wanda Sykes: I'm proud to be gay.' And I'm like, 'Oh, this is a big f------ deal. I'm a black woman, a celebrity, and I'm out.' It was a big deal."
The success of The Out List is its cinematic straightforwardness and a sense of intimacy that takes it way beyond just a lineup of talking heads. Then again, the portrait is Greenfield-Sanders' mastery.
After graduating from Columbia University, he attended the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, where he discovered his passion for shooting stills.
"These very famous filmmakers would come to speak to our class. and the school needed someone who could take snapshots of them. We would see the films of Alfred Hitchcock and then Hitchcock would sit with us. I started shooting everyone. Bergman, Truffaut, a young Steven Spielberg. I learned so much from them. Hitchcock literally said, 'Your light is in the wrong place. It should be here.' "
And then there was Bette Davis, who asked, "What the f--- are you doing shooting me from below?" Then she asked if he could drive a car.
"She said, 'If you can drive me around, I'll teach you how to shoot someone.' And I drove her around for a week and we became friends. Over time I learned a lot from people who knew how to be in front of a camera and behind a camera. By the time I finished AFI, I had shot everyone from Orson Welles to Billy Wilder to John Ford."
What's his biggest secret?
"Making people feel comfortable. People who are used to being photographed immediately notice whether or not your light is in the right place, how you're using your bounce card. They know walking in the door that they are not being attacked. And once they know they can trust you, they start talking about themselves, they start telling you certain things that maybe they hadn't expected to talk about."
The dichotomy of this moment in the fight for gay rights — on the one hand, the movement has come so far; on the other, there is still so much ground to gain — is not lost on Greenfield-Sanders, which is why he believed The Out List was an important project to tackle.
"Look at how much has happened since Stonewall. And when you think about where this country was about gay marriage even a few years ago, there has been tremendous change. But still, outside of the big cities, it's a very different story. I think everyone who is in this film knows how hard it is to come out for so many people across the country. It's like Neil Patrick Harris says, the more you see gay people on TV, the more there are gay characters on mainstream shows, the more the world opens up for Middle America, for those people who don't know anyone who's gay — or don't think they do."

Jaymie Bresso was in chorus class at North Farmington High School last week when she heard the announcement over the P.A. system. The 18-year-old with Down syndrome is one of three senior girls nominated to the homecoming court."She was all excited, jumped into the car and said, 'I'm on the court.' So she was totally thrilled," said Terri Bresso, Jaymie's mom.They have been shopping for dresses and getting ready for the big night."It's neat that the class accepts her and she's one of the class," her mom remarked. "Everybody knows Jaymie. All the teachers love her. She's just a great kid."Jaymie's older brother and sister and her twin sister all graduated from North Farmington. Her mom got emotional when she talked about how Jaymie has been treated there."No matter if they're special needs or not, they're just like everybody else, and she's just been treated just like everybody else."Students and staff say Jaymie's nomination to the homecoming court is just indicative of the culture at the school, one that celebrates everybody."She is the sweetest girl ever. She makes sure to say hi to every single person she knows," said friend Lauren Yellen.She nominated Jaymie. There were dozens of other people on the ballot, but their fellow students voted Jaymie onto the court."When I found out, I started crying," Yellen said.Dad, Rick, is Jaymie's escort for the homecoming game and the big announcement."I have to walk across the field with Jaymie," he said. "To stand there and wait for the announcement of who the queen is, that will be exciting."A proud father, a proud family no matter who is crowned queen."I feel great because I won homecoming court," said Jaymie Bresso."If her name is called, that is wonderful, and if it's not, it's still wonderful because she's a winner no matter what," her mother said.
FOX 2 was on hand at the North Farmington homecoming game Friday night as the big announcement was made. While Jaymie wasn't voted homecoming queen, we congratulate her on being elected to the court.

DETROIT, MI (WTVB) - The Lions have lost their second leading receiver for the indefinite future. Nate Burleson is slated to have surgery today for a broken arm. The injury happened early Tuesday morning when Burleson crashed his SUV into the median on I-696 in Farmington Hills. Police say no alcohol was involved. Burleson was apparently distracted by a pizza box falling off the seat just prior to the accident that occurred around 2:25 a.m. Tuesday as he was on his way home from watching "Monday Night Football" with friends.
Lions head coach Jim Schwartz says the veteran receiver broke both bones in his forearm, but the team has no plans to place him on injured reserve. First place in the NFC North will be on the line Sunday at Ford Field when the 2-and-1 Lions take on the 3-and-0 Chicago Bears.

Knowing which story to tell is half the challenge, how to tell it is the other...
"When you are describing,
A shape, or sound, or tint;
Don't state the matter plainly,
But put it in a hint;
And learn to look at all things,
With a sort of mental squint."
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll)
It can be daunting for an MBA graduate to look at their organisation with a 'sort of mental squint', when they've been trained to focus, think analytically and present conclusions via powerpoint presentations using bullet points and pictures. Stories require a leap of faith; deep emotion and longing (passion!), and the courage to say out loud what you really want.

What do you think makes a man happiest?A romantic relationship?Enough Money?A happy Family?Alcohol?or...…??
A recent study by Oxford researcher Robin Dunbar claims a man's happiness, health and well-being don't revolve around his romantic relationship or his kids or even his bank balance. The key is getting together with buddies and enjoying the kinds of things they do together, such as golf. Dunbar said men with those regular outlets also tend to be more generous.
Do you agree? When I saw this news from Msn Now, I was a little surprised. So I'd like to hear your voices on this interesting topic.:) And What do you think a man's partner do that will drive him to prefer to night out with their buddies most indirectly?I hope your view on these would help to enhance the good understanding on men and eliminate some misunderstandings between women and men and bring us more harmony to the world.
Thank you~~(^-^)

Oct 27 2013: true love is not disappearing...
my wife and i met 30 september 2012, she proposed the same night, i accepted...
we got married 31 october 2012... our daughter was born 30 september 2013 19:00
this is exactly 1yr to the hour we met for our first date....
i still do exactly the same things as i did before we met, that is sports and pass times (not pastimes)
true love is about knowing yourself and your partner, and knowing that in life obstacles are simply that... challenges which can be overcome... our baby girl is now the priority
what i can say is age is an important factor... compare adulthood to childhood
at the age of starting adultry(lol) its the same as being an infant in the adult world...
you need to crawl before you can run all over again learn independence, responsibility, etc...
personally when you in your twenty-something years this is the crawling phase when you learn outside the nest
your 30-something years is your walking years when you should be taking responsibility for your actions and decisions... not all of us learn to walk the same... notice how we all walk differently??? (literal)
40-something+ years -the running phase- we are responsible for our actions and who we are - not everyone runs at the same pace or speed, or can run for that matter
age is an important factor to his research... how old are people involved in the research
life experience is another factor to consider... as in what have they done and what is their outlook on life
rights of passage have changed from the "so-called" archaic spiritual connection to adulthood - vision quest of finding your purpose
to the reckless drinking, sex and chasing material possessions, even idol worship of "famous" people trying to emulate them
so on a lighter note:
children have as much fun in childhood... as adults have in adultry (LOL)
Oct 27 2013: Congratulations on your marriage and becoming a dad to your baby girl!! It sounds like you have found gold in a wife and she in you. I am very happy for you three.
We need more successful male role models, which society seems to not have provided (for a couple of generations). So I appreciate you sharing this real story.
I agree "children have as much fun in childhood as adults (can) have in adulthood " …...and " comparing adulthood to childhood at the age of starting adulthood, its the same as being an infant in the adult world.." That makes wonderful sense to me. Adulthood can be every bit as amazing as childhood:-)
Oct 28 2013: Truly Beautiful! Growing up from being a boy to a man …..
(also truly beautiful growing up from being a girl to a woman)
Good role models have been missing in the past couple of generations. I don't know where it started, but suddenly we look around and see single mothers, missing fathers. We wonder what happened to families, fatherhood and manhood. This had left the male child to find his own way out of a maze on the boy-to-manhood-path. Society as a whole lost out.
I can't tell you how happy it makes me each time I see a man who comes back and shares the truth of the blessing that it is to be a mature adult man (after having found his way to a great marriage and has become a father). This is a sign that the cycle of loss is broken. This is a sign of a healthy new society. Our society needs new mentors. Little brothers (and sisters) need healthy male (and female) role models.
Oct 28 2013: Thank you Carlo~, always gratitude to your pleasant comment!:)
I'd like to say before this thread, I didn't know you're male, married and even have a baby now. So thank you so much for sacrificing your privacy for sharing your story with us.
How wonderful to see you can even remember the birth time of you baby, I think you have your true love to your family members.I think I have been encouraged to believe there's true love existing. :)
I agree age is also an very important element in men's judegemt of happiness. So it's interesting to see comments from people in different age levels.
Thank you again and wish your family all a happy life~:)
Whisky Delta 10+Oct 28 2013: I foresee good means to an end with your family like every family. However, here is just a small glimpse of reality I wish I knew before I started with my family.
Best chances! I guess we all take this risk at some point in our lives.

In this chapter, the author interrogates the musical-theoretical consequences of acousmatic music, that which denies a visual source for its constituent sounds. He introduces an ecological view of perception through which he demonstrates how a consideration of the relationship between action, perception and meaning can provide a more perceptually relevant analysis of electroacoustic music. He analyses works by György Ligeti (Artikulation, 1988), Pierre Henry (Variations pour une porte et une soupir, 1987) and Fred Frith (Guitar Solos: Alienated Industrial Seagulls, 1993) to show how a more subtle and perceptually motivated view of the acousmatic has more important aesthetic consequences.

Continental Enterprises, an intellectual property consulting firm, launched a service this summer to help area high schools register their logos, names and mascots as trademarks and establish licensing programs, assuring that schools will get a cut of all merchandise sales bearing their mark. This month, North Central High School, one of the state's largest, signed with Continental, and six to eight more schools are expected to follow suit within 60 days.
From 1979 to 1982, IUPUI inherited three world-class athletic facilities that have since hosted Olympic trials and world-record performances by top-flight amateur and professional athletes. But that inheritance has turned into a financial albatross around the university's neck. It's grappling with how to pay for their upkeep and the improvements necessary to keep the facilities--and the city--in the hunt for high-profile sporting events.
Six current and former University of Indianapolis professors who in late 2006 alleged business school dean Mitch Shapiro violated hiring practices and created a hostile work environment got what they wanted last month.

Thief hands-on: meeting Erin, Garrett's troublesome shadow
Garrett doesn't need a sneaking sidekick. I don't need a sneaking sidekick. Stealth is a solitary adventure. Characters come and go for the sake of narrative and theater, but when it's time to get down to the dance of detection, they're left behind. For good reason: nothing gets me to hit "Quit" faster than a wayward ally barging into a carefully planned route, or blowing my position with the umpteenth complaint of "C'mon, we gotta move!"
And so, when I was given the opportunity to experience the introductory sequences of Thief and meet Garrett's protégé Erin for the first time, I could already feel a sneer forming. I had doubts—Garrett had broken his professional partnership with her for Mysterious Reasons. In my mind, she was already a nuisance. When I heard the first few tense exchanges between her and Garrett, however, I realized her qualities symbolized an important facet of the stealth genre—her aggressive, confrontational style shows just how varied approaches to stealth can be.

Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) doing business outside their country in the EU internal market sometimes have to face the problem of cross-border debt recovery. This can discourage them from engaging in cross-border business and therefore prevent them from benefitting fully from the possibilities offered by the European single market.
Improved access by SMEs to the relevant information in the area of claims management instruments and options is therefore a key element for encouraging them to do business in the single market. At the same time this will enable the single market to function more smoothly.
The general objective of the project is to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that operate across borders by facilitating cross-border debt recovery. SMEs will be helped to optimise their business procedures by improving their access to information on claims management instruments and options. The aim is also to improve the use, understanding and awareness of the available legal instruments.
The project includes the following actions:
The guide will be available on this page in March 2013, first in English and later in all the official EU languages.
The teaching modules will be available on this page by October 2013.
The seminars will consist of one-day events. A list of dates will be announced and regularly updated on this site.
Invitations to the events will be sent to organizations representing SMEs, chambers of commerce, business associations, entrepreneurs, economic operators, legal professions and the judiciary.
Please do not hesitate to register (by clicking on your country on the map below) if you are interested in participating in one of these events.

Campomelic dysplasia is one of the more rare forms of congenital short-limb dwarfism. Its incidence is approximately 1 in 111,000 to 1 in 200,000 live births. The term "campomelic" or "camptomelic" is of Greek origin and literally means "bent limb."
Campomelic dysplasia is caused by a mutation in the SOX-9 gene, localized to chromosome 17. The SOX-9 gene encodes for a transcription factor that is responsible for normal cartilage development and sexual development.
Campomelic dysplasia is characterized by the bowing of the femur and tibia. Some individuals can have this condition without any appreciable bowing of the long bones but with other major features. These patients are referred to as having "acampomelic" camptomelic dysplasia. We will limit the following discussion to patients with classic campomelic dysplasia.
Campomelic dysplasia can be a lethal condition. However, a proportion of campomelic children can survive into adulthood. In the newborn period, respiratory distress may occur due to the lack of development of the cartilage rings that support the tracheobronchial tree. Although respiratory insufficiency may lead to hypoxic brain injury, in general patients with campomelic dysplasia have average intelligence.
Face & Skull:
- Long and narrow skull
- Prominent forehead
- Flat face with a depressed nasal bridge
- Micrognathism
- Possible cleft palate
Trunk, Chest, & Spine:
- Short neck with redundant skin at the nape of the neck
- Small, narrow, and bell-shaped chest
- Eleven pairs of ribs
- Protuberant abdomen
Arms & Legs:
What are the X-ray characteristics?
The radiological features of campomelic dysplasia include bowing of the femur and tibia. Typically, patients exhibit delayed ossification of distal femoral and proximal tibial epiphyses. Radial heads are dislocated. Widely spaced vertical ischia and a hypoplastic pubic bone are seen in the pelvis. Vertebral pedicles are hypoplastic or nonmineralized. Cervical vertebrae are hypoplastic. The thorax is small and bell-shaped, with eleven ribs, appearing wavy and thin. The first metacarpals are short. Short middle phalanges of the second through fifth fingers are also typical (4).
Long Bone Bowing
Long bone bowing in campomelic dysplasia is variable. Corrective osteotomies of the femur and tibia should be performed so that the child can start standing and walking at the appropriate times. The timing of such surgery is influenced by the child's respiratory status. Developmental milestones are delayed in campomelic dysplasia and this should be kept in mind during decision making. A period of casting is necessary in the immediate post-operative period, followed by long-term bracing to maintain correction.
Hip Dislocations
Congenital/developmental hip dislocations are typically managed along standard lines. In infancy, the mainstay of treatment is by means of a Pavlik harness. If this fails, surgery becomes necessary.
Cervical kyphosis is an initial problem, secondary to failure of formation of the anterior cervical vertebral bodies, which can lead to spinal cord compression. Thoracic kyphoscoliosis is a severe problem that may require surgery.
Clubfeet should be treated along standard lines with corrective casting and surgery, depending upon the severity of the problem.
Tracheobronchial Tree
The most significant abnormality in campomelic dysplasia is the lack of development of the cartilage rings supporting the trancheobronchial tree. These cartilage rings normally keep the breathing passages open. Poor cartilage development may cause the collapse of these passages, producing extremely small airways and causing respiratory insufficiency.
At birth, the child may require a tracheostomy and long-term ventilation
at home for the first few years of life. Many do not survive past the neonatal period.
Congenital Heart Defects
Congenital heart defects were found in around 25% of cases. The most common anomaly is a patent ductus arteriosus or patent foramen ovale.
An echocardiogram should be done to evaluate for possible congenital heart disease.
Genitourinary Tract
Genitourinary Tract: Hydronephrosis (enlarged kidney), bilateral ureteral dilatation are seen in 1/3 of patients. Hypoplastic cystic kidney, renal hypoplasia, ureteral stenosis, and renal calculi have been described in the literature. These do not pose major health risks initially but require monitoring by a nephrologist/urologist in the long-term.
Sex Reversal
Some phenotypic females may genetically be males.
Recurrent middle ear infections, poor development of bones that normally conduct sound (auditory ossicles) and abnormal skull shape are some of the factors that contribute to hearing loss. Any suspicion of hearing loss or recurrent ear infections should prompt referral to an ENT surgeon/ audiologist for further investigation.
- Respiratory distress in the newborn period.
- Chromosomal analysis should be done to evaluate for possible sex reversal in phenotypic females.
- A renal-pelvic ultrasound should be done to assess any anomalies of the genitourinary tract.
- Cervical spine instability due to possible cervical kyphosis.

There's been a lot of discussion over the years about the proper way to refer to someone with dwarfism. Many people who have the condition prefer the term "little person" or "person of short stature." For some, "dwarf" is acceptable. For most, "midget" definitely is not.
But here's an idea everyone can agree on: Why not simply call a person with dwarfism by his or her name?
Being of short stature is only one of the characteristics that make a little person who he or she is. If you're the parent or loved one of a little person, you know this to be true.
But here are some facts that other people may not realize about dwarfism and those who have it.
- is characterized by short stature. Technically, that means an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches or under, according to the advocacy group Little People of America (LPA).
- can be caused by any one of more than 300 conditions, most of which are genetic. The most common type, accounting for 70% of all cases of short stature, is called achondroplasia.
- can and most often does occur in families where both parents are of average height. In fact, 4 out of 5 of children with achondroplasia are born to average-size parents.
Dwarfism isn't:
- an intellectual disability. A person who has dwarfism is typically of normal intelligence.
- a disease that requires a "cure." Most people with one of these conditions live long, fulfilling lives.
- a reason to assume someone is incapable. Little people go to school, go to work, marry, and raise children, just like their average-size peers.
What Causes Short Stature?
More than 300 well-described conditions are known to cause short stature in a child. Most are caused by a spontaneous genetic change (mutation) in the egg or sperm cells prior to conception. Others are caused by genetic changes inherited from one or both parents.
Similarly, depending on the type of condition causing the short stature, it is possible for two average-size parents to have a child with short stature, and is also possible for parents who are little people to have an average-size child.
What prompts a gene to mutate is not yet clearly understood. The change is seemingly random and unpreventable, and can occur in any pregnancy. If parents have some form of dwarfism themselves, the odds are much greater that their children will also be little people. A genetic counselor can help determine the likelihood of passing on the condition in these cases.
Dwarfism has other causes, including metabolic or hormonal disorders in infancy or childhood. Chromosomal abnormalities, pituitary gland disorders (which influence growth and metabolism), absorptive problems (when the body can't absorb nutrients adequately), and kidney disease can all lead to short stature if a child fails to grow at a normal rate.
Types of Short Stature
Most types of dwarfism are known as skeletal dysplasias, which are conditions of abnormal bone growth. They're divided into two types: short-trunk and short-limb dysplasias. People with short-trunk dysplasia have a shortened trunk with more average-sized limbs, whereas those with short-limb dysplasia have an average-sized trunk but shortened arms and legs.
By far, the most common skeletal dysplasia is achondroplasia, a short-limb dysplasia that occurs in about 1 of every 15,000 to 40,000 babies born of all races and ethnicities. It can be caused by a spontaneous mutation in a gene called FGFR3, or a child can inherit a change in this gene from a parent who also has achondroplasia.
People with achondroplasia have a relatively long trunk and shortened upper parts of their arms and legs. They may share other features as well, such as a larger head with a prominent forehead, a flattened bridge of the nose, shortened hands and fingers, and reduced muscle tone. The average adult height for someone with achondroplasia is a little over 4 feet.
Diastrophic dysplasia is a different form of short-limb dwarfism. It occurs in about 1 in 100,000 births, and is also sometimes associated with cleft palate, clubfeet, and ears with a cauliflower-like appearance. People who have this diagnosis tend to have shortened forearms and calves (this is known as mesomelic shortening).
Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasias (SED) refers to a group of various short-trunk skeletal conditions that occurs in about 1 in 95,000 babies. Along with achondroplasia and diastrophic dysplasia, it is one of the most common forms of dwarfism. In some forms, a lack of growth in the trunk area may not become apparent until the child is between 5 and 10 years old; other forms are apparent at birth. Kids with this disorder also might have clubfeet, cleft palate, and a barrel-chested appearance.
In general, dwarfism caused by skeletal dysplasias results in what is known as disproportionate short stature — meaning the limbs and the trunk are not the same proportionally as those of typically-statured people.
Metabolic or hormonal disorders typically cause proportionate dwarfism, meaning a person's arms, legs, and trunk are all shortened but remain in proportion to overall body size.
Some types of dwarfism can be identified through prenatal testing if a doctor suspects a particular condition and tests for it.
But most cases are not identified until after the child is born. In those instances, the doctor makes a diagnosis based on the child's appearance, failure to grow, and X-rays of the bones. Depending on the type of dwarfism the child has, diagnosis often can be made almost immediately after birth.
Once a diagnosis is made, there is no "treatment" for most of the conditions that lead to short stature. Hormonal or metabolic problems may be treated with hormone injections or special diets to spark a child's growth, but skeletal dysplasias cannot be "cured."
People with these types of dwarfism can, however, get medical care for some of the health complications associated with their short stature.
Some forms of dwarfism also involve issues in other body systems — such as vision or hearing — and require careful monitoring.
Possible Complications and Treatments
Short stature is the one quality all people with dwarfism have in common. After that, each of the many conditions that cause dwarfism has its own set of characteristics and possible complications.
Fortunately, many of these complications are treatable, so that people of short stature can lead healthy, active lives.
For example, a small percentage of babies with achondroplasia may experience hydrocephalus (excess fluid around the brain). They may also have a greater risk of developing apnea — a temporary stop in breathing during sleep — because of abnormally small or misshapen anatomy or, more likely, because of airway obstruction by the adenoids or the tonsils. Occasionally, a part of the brain or spinal cord is compressed. With close monitoring by doctors, however, these potentially serious problems can be detected early and surgically corrected.
As a child with dwarfism grows, other issues may also become apparent, including:
- delayed development of some motor skills, such as sitting up and walking
- a greater susceptibility to ear infections and hearing loss
- breathing problems caused by small chests
- weight problems
- curvature of the spine (scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis)
- bowed legs
- trouble with joint flexibility and early arthritis
- lower back pain or leg numbness
- crowding of teeth in the jaw
Proper medical care can alleviate many of these problems. For example, surgery often can bring relief from the pain of joints that wear out under the stress of bearing weight differently with limited flexibility.
Surgery also can be used to improve some of the leg, hip, and spine problems people with short stature sometimes face.
Nonsurgical options may help, too — for instance, excessive weight can worsen many orthopedic problems, so a nutritionist might help develop a healthy plan for shedding extra pounds. And doctors or physical therapists can recommend ways to increase physical activity without putting extra stress on the bones and joints.
Helping Your Child
Although types of dwarfism, and their severity and complications, vary from person to person, in general a child's life span is not affected by dwarfism. Although the Americans with Disabilities Act protects the rights of people with dwarfism, many members of the short-statured community don't feel that they have a disability.
You can help your child with dwarfism lead the best life possible by building his or her sense of independence and self-esteem right from the start.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Treat your child according to his or her age, not size. If you expect a 6-year-old to clean up his or her room, don't make an exception simply because your child is small.
- Adapt to your child's limitations. Something as simple as a light switch extender can give a short-statured child a sense of independence around the house.
- Present your child's condition — both to your child and to others — as a difference rather than a hindrance. Your attitude and expectations can have a significant influence on your child's self-esteem.
- Learn to deal with people's reactions, whether it's simple curiosity or outright ignorance, without anger. Address questions or comments as directly as possible, then take a moment to point out something special about your child. If your child is with you, this approach shows that you notice all the other qualities that make him or her unique. It will also help prepare your child for dealing with these situations when you're not there.
- If your child is teased at school, don't overlook it. Talk to teachers and administrators to make sure your child is getting the support he or she needs.
- Encourage your child to find a hobby or activity to enjoy. If sports aren't going to be your child's forte, then maybe music, art, computers, writing, or photography will be.
- Finally, get involved with support associations like the Little People of America. Getting to know other people with dwarfism — both as peers and mentors — can show your child just how much he or she can achieve.

I hate to say it, but I wonder if the real problem here is that most of the Doctor Who fans here really, really enjoy discussing Doctor Who with other Whovian Mefites. I love it, too. But it's really not what metafilter is for, and so we're left trying to come up with solutions to problems that are arising out of off-label uses of the site, so to speak.Agreed. No one should have to avoid threads that are reactions to articles about shows or entertainment on the off chance they turn into discussion about content for which there is no preceding article.
I'd say the Portal problem was similar--the awkward intersection between using something as a message board when it's really just meant to be a place to respond to TFA.
The post says "Warning, may contain traces of spoilers". And it's two weeks old and has been actively discussing the last few episodes shortly after each of them aired.posted by We had a deal, Kyle at 8:27 PM on May 15, 2011 [1 favorite]
It's entirely reasonable for "some method of dealing with spoilers" to be "don't read the thread until you've watched the episode" here.
Which is why I say this is kind of a bad faith argument. No one is saying "Don't post spoilers." But yet people are saying "Don't ROT13!" No one's saying "Always ROT13 everything!" and yet others are saying "Always assume everything is spoiled, ever."
Scripting enabled:At the end of the day (for me, at least) it boils down to simple courtesy. Some of us wish to be respectful of both the people who wish to avoid spoilers, AND the people who hate ROT13 and want it to die in a fire. I'm really having difficulty imagining how this will violate the foundational principals of the site (whatever those might be).

This is such a beautiful bracelet. After I ordered mine, I ordered one for my sister and she wears it all the time! The workmanship is superb. It's very reasonably priced. You can't go wrong with this one!
I just received my bracelet in the mail and am very happy with the quality. The silver and gold combination is beautiful, and the design itself is unique. The bracelet is just a hint large for my small wrist, which is about 6 in. around, but I ordered it knowing that this might be the case. I just hope the cool part of the bracelet will stay on the outside of my wrist and not keep spinning toward the inside where no one will see it. Regardless, I will probably wear this bracelet just about everywhere I go.
one of my favorite bangles. in addition I like that it benefits the worldwide designer cause
I love the bracelet and have gotten several compliments. However, the clasps, which is so pretty, twists underneath my wrist.That is the ONLY negative.

Research Profile
Dr Rebecca Dimond
Rebecca has recently been awarded an ESRC Future Research Leaders grant to explore the development of reproductive technologies involving mitochondria transfer. Her three year project is titled 'Patient and professional understanding of risk: how complexity and uncertainty of genetic knowledge impacts on reproductive decision making'. (ESRC ref 504751 2014 - 2016).
The emergence of novel IVF techniques involving mitochondria donation could give women with mitochondrial disease the opportunity to have healthy children. The possibility that a future generation can be born without mitochondrial disease has been widely embraced by patients and professionals. However, accounts of mitochondrial donation, particularly within media coverage assume a level of technological determinism, that if these techniques are available then this will 'halt', 'eliminate' or 'eradicate' mitochondrial disease from families. The research will contribute to the debate by examining how patients with mitochondrial disease make reproductive choices and how their experiences of health and illness shape or direct their decisions.

Don't overlook these tech dividend stocks
Yes, you heard correctly. Contrary to popular belief, not all technology stocks are growth stocks.
By James Brumley
Investing can be a tricky game sometimes. Sure, from the outside looking in, all the clichés and tips seem simple enough: Buy the rumor and sell the news. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Buy low and sell high. And, of course, there's no free lunch on Wall Street.
Funny thing about those assumptions, though, is that while they may be true nine times out of 10, it's that one time out of 10 that can hurt you.
One common assumption that nags at me from time to time is the assumption that all tech stocks are growth stocks and not a place where an income investor would want to park any money. Sure, it may be true for a lot of technology names, but have you taken a really close look at the payouts on some of the large -- yet unloved -- technology companies?
Consider these tech stocks with surprisingly decent (and growing) yields.
Even for investors who are familiar with technology stocks that pay dividends, printer-maker Lexmark (LXK) is an unfamiliar name. That's because the company started to pay out some of its cash flow only late last year, beginning with a 25-cent payment in November.
And in spite of fiscal struggles that have prompted its exit from the inkjet-printer business, the company has remained faithful to its new dividend promise, paying 25 cents in March and then upping the rate to 30 cents per share for the May and August payments.
For those of you keeping score, that's $1.10 worth of payout for a $21 stock, pushing the yield well above 5%.
Microchip Technology
This next one doesn't quite top that yield, but Microchip Technology (MCHP) still boasts one that sits just above 4%. And considering it hasn't missed or lowered any quarterly payments since at least 2002, you have to admit it's a pretty impressive feat. Plenty of large-cap companies that were designed specifically to pay and grow dividends haven't been as reliable.
To be fair, the quarterly dividend payment growth has stalled a bit since 2008. It reached 34 cents per share late that year and is at only 35 cents now. That slowdown may have been a deliberate decision in front of the earnings slowdown witnessed over the prior six quarters.
The trend is already showing signs of reversing, though, with Microchip Technology looking for year-over-year earnings comps to start rising again this quarter. The catalyst? The industry's best serial SRAMs and a new digital-to-analog (display) converter, which may even mean the beginning of renewed dividend growth.
That's not all when it comes to overlooked tech dividend stocks, though. You can read the full list here.
As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Celeb Chef's Alleged Mistress Spills All!
When we heard that the volatile (but lovable) Ramsay was allegedly having an affair, we were shocked. After all, he professes to be the ultimate family man. In fact, his family was even hailed as Britain's 2007 Celebrity Family of the Year.
But when we saw the picture of his alleged mistress splashed across the cover of the British tabloid, we recognized her immediately. Earlier this year, we interviewed several women for our four-part series "Who's Sleeping with Your Husband?". One of the women we interviewed was blonde bombshell Sarah Symonds -- Chef Ramsay's reported lover.
After hearing the shocking news, we went back and looked at the raw footage of our interview with sexy Sarah. Although at the time she referred to herself as a "reformed" mistress, we realized that all throughout the interview she might have been talking about Gordon Ramsay. We contacted Ramsay but he was unavailable for comment. We also reached out to Symonds but have not heard back.
Check out the video, then tell us what you think:

OMG! I love this guy and his shows…so disappointing. I read an interview about him and his wife. I believe they have 4 kids and have been married like for 15 years. Too bad. I guess we know now who the real "donkey" is.
Very sad about this news, but……. he is a wonderful Chef, and a Great TV show man. Everybody loves him, and at the same time "hates" him, but he's so good to watch. One thing is his professional life, which he is Number One, and something competely different his personal life. There is no Perfect Man. We can't judge him, about his personal life. We don't know, what is going on between "sheets" that is something that only concers him and his wife. Wish the best fot them, if they can still work it out.
It's the same old story again and again. Husband cheats on his wife! Men will always cheat because we are programmed and hard wired that way. Not all men cheat but most do and even the ones that don't will if they get the perfect opportunity to do it and think they won't get caught. What Chef Ramsey is being accused of happens all the time.
she is a disgusting whore. she has no values. she is self absorbed and she needs to get help. thank goodness she lives in another country. we don't need another one of her. she is probably good friends with spitzers call girl. gordon ramsey is disgusting on his show. who in their right mind would want to be with someone like him. they both deserve eachother.
How dissapointing that people want to automatically believe this woman.
Remember she is the admitted liar and cheat, and there is the possibility of blackmailing him for money.
Don't be so quick to condemn him.
So we are suppose to believe a tabloid…just because they say so. I only once saw a show that included his family, his wife and 4 kids were out running about and he was telling the kids (all very young) to pick out a live turkey for their meal - he thought it was funny but little kids like that get freaked out and he didn't seem to notice. Think it showed a bit of insensitivity on his part but who knows, thats just me. He goes and goes all of the time and his restaurants are everywhere and I think to a point of saturation. He's losing his charm through over commercialism much like Rachel Ray but I do think he is a passionate man and what we see onscreen is authentic him at his best. What's offscreen well, I think he should spend more down time with family. Affairs do happen especially when a person is away from their touchstone; FAMILY. The supposed mistress is being touted as a bombshell…to each his own I guess but its pretty trashy to go on TV and talk about being a one time mistress. Even Barbara Walters can't get away from her own classlessness at having slept with a married man and then telling the world about it.
We have to remember to take this story w/ a grain of salt. Short of pictures or an outright admission, their is no more proof of his infidelity then their is of his faithfulness. Sometimes I think we feel "entitled" to a celebrities personal life and we're not. Even if he is having an affair, our opinions and judgements are not helpful to the situation. This should be between him and his family.
The mistress has nothing to be proud of. She goes on international tv and tells the world her poor meme song. She knew what she was getting into when she got involved with a married man. I feel sorry for Mrs Ramsey if she didn't know about it and her children. Mr Ramsey is a gutter rat for cheating on his wife. If he was going to cheat he could have done better. The mistress looks unkempt. She looks as if she is a dirty drug addict. Men do what they are allowed to get a way with. I know not all men cheat. They are tempted. Women cheat too. Human beings tend to think the grass is greener on the otherside, and it isn't.
Chef Ramsay can cook….but can he do the dishes? (will the wife tell?)
Yeah I dont believe her for one second!
Ms Sarah was speaking much too quickly to sound sincere. She sounded as though she'd practiced this contrived schpiel in fromt of a mirror to me. I think she'd just trying to advance herself with this" cooked up" story.
You newspeople out there , don't you think this is between him and his wife ?
So get your butts , out of his face.
What a slut! Now she can wake up and go to sleep at night thinking about where HE is at the moment while she is alone. I hope she realizes that she's only worth a piece of ass and nothing more.
I think he is an asshole
Who is sleeping with your husband?
Easy: Whores….
However these whores are not the one who made a legal binding commitment to you and promised to love and be there; I mean this does not negate the fact that hey are doggish, lowdown trash but they did not marry YOU……. so regardless of the myriad of whores he comes across (and there are millions) — in the end, it is HIS decision to cheat.
Fuck him over and leave him alone
What I think is that this is not our business, and it's unfortunate that the pain of infidelity is visited upon this man's wife and that the media doesn't have the "class" to just leave her the hell alone.
I am involved with a married man. His wife drove him to near suicide. Thankfully the divorce is coming along beautifully. Some dreams do come true.
Personally who cares about his love life. That is not what his Television show is about. If the President of the United States can get a blowjob under the podium, who really cares what Chef Ramsey does.
I care about his TV show because he is honestly keeping failing Chef's from falling on there arse, and allowing better eateries here within the good ole USA. So go get on another soap box and boo hoo somewhere else……….
Oh Gordon….. what have you done? Thinking with your @#$% instead of your brain…
And this woman calls his wife?
Can't stoop much lower…
what a bag, just thinking it's ok to sleep with anothers mate is wrong,i hope it will happen to her someday, she'll really know how it feels.

Vt. potholes gain national notorietyBy Kevin O'Connor
Staff Writer | April 01,2014Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo
A vehicle passes by a pothole on Terrill Street in Rutland on Monday.Vermonter Tom Bodett — the ad voice that advises "we'll leave the light on for you" — began this past weekend's fact-or-fiction segment of National Public Radio's news quiz with a dark story of his state's surest — and surliest — sign of spring.
"'Watch for that pothole on Route 9' used to be a warning to drivers," he told listeners. "These days it's an invitation for visitors to southern Vermont to witness a road hazard so infamous it has become a destination all its own."
Bodett spoke of Brattleboro townsfolk and tourists, facing so many flat tires local leaders have stopped counting, surrendering to a pothole "of such frame-wrenching, tongue-biting proportions that people are now stopping to have their pictures taken beside it, and not always for insurance purposes."
"This week, Secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources Deb Markowitz responded to a petition that the pothole be preserved and turned into a state park," he continued, "by saying simply that might be the stupidest thing to cross my desk all winter, and that's saying something."
The studio audience laughed, as did Markowitz. ("It was fun getting a shout-out," she says.) But drivers who know all but the state-park petition to be true aren't in a joking mood this April Fools' Day.
"2014 is shaping up to be one of the worst pothole seasons on record," the Vermont Agency of Transportation confirms on a new special page on its website.
The state has spent $1.3 million so far this fiscal year to patch potholes from northernmost Alburgh to southernmost Vernon, but the problem keeps growing.
"It's something legislators keep asking us about," says George McCool, state assistant maintenance transportation administrator.
Who's to blame? McCool points straight to the top: Mother Nature.
"We've had a lot more rain followed by a lot more colder weather," he says. "The water gets in and underneath the pavement and the traffic knocks it loose."
In Brattleboro, this "freeze-thaw cycle" began in February, when drivers of more than 20 vehicles — including a state police cruiser that had to be towed — reported flat tires on one particularly problematic mile of Route 9.
"After the first few weeks, people stopped calling," says Hannah O'Connell, the town's water and highway superintendent. "They realized it's pothole season. But it has been a particularly difficult one this year."
Michael Bosworth, president of the West Brattleboro Association, has written an open letter to federal and state officials in hopes of fixing the problem.
"Traffic has slowed to a crawl as everyone tries to avoid flat tires or damage to their undercarriages," the businessman noted. "And this road is our gateway to southern Vermont, one of our prime skiing and tourist destinations?"
Sympathetic crews that have shoveled 2,500 tons of filler statewide point to several challenges. You can't patch a pothole in too cold or wet weather or the fix won't hold. And most asphalt plants close in the winter, requiring workers to figure out ways to crush and propane-heat their own mixtures.
"We're trying to get out there as fast as we can and keep up," McCool says. "But you just can't throw something in and drive away."
The state estimates it could be another month "until the weather changes over, the frost heaves begin to settle and the hot mix plants open for the season," its website reports.
Until then? "We are all going to have to exercise a little patience, caution and common sense," it advises, "when navigating the handiwork of nature's jackhammer."

Another Romney Abortion Flip-Flop: No Exceptions for Health of the Mother
In an interview with CBS News on Monday, Mitt Romney said he disagreed with his own party's support for criminalizing abortion without exceptions: "My position has been clear throughout this campaign; I'm in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother."Of course, Romney's position on the legality of abortion has been anything but clear. Now his campaign denies that he supports allowing abortion when a woman's health is in jeopardy, as he told reporter Scott Pelley. Instead, they say he only supports allowing abortion when a woman would die without one.
Marjorie Dannenfelser of Susan B. Anthony List, a major anti-choice group, in an interview with Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association insisted that the Romney campaign told her that Romney does not in fact believe in exceptions for the health of the mother, contradicting what he said in the Monday interview. If he did, Dannenfelser said, he would not have received the endorsement of her anti-choice organization.
Who else thinks they are purposely telling the public one thing while telling these people something else?

Building a Better Music Appreciation Class 2Posted by Rusty Banks in Uncategorized
I haven't properly posted about last semester's Music Appreciation class, so let me now.
I was happy with it.
I taught it in reverse-chronological order and focused primarily on music after Debussy. I think teaching it in reverse was neither here nor there, but focusing on new music seemed to engage the students much more. I posted some of the topics here, and got some of the best comments I ever have in this class. Overall, it was fairly successful for a Music Appreciation class.
Now let me tell you what I really want to do.
I often begin my classes by stating "We can't learn things from classes and books. We can only learn from meaningful experience. Classes and books only prepare us to make the most of a meaningful experience when we find or create one." I certainly believe that Music Appreciation texts and CDs will not equal a meaningful experience.
Many Music Appreciation classes have a live concert component where students attend three concerts and write reports. I teach section of 200-300 students and find this to be a daunting administrative task. More distressing however, is that I have no way to teach the class directly about the random concerts they might attend.
But what if you could have a live concert in the class, during the class.
Well, nice if your school wants to give you thousands of dollars for your class, but fat chance. Where can we get those kinds of resources?
A text and set of CDs generally costs close to $100. What if there was a concert series that sold subscriptions for $50. What if those concerts happened in the class, during the class. What if 220 students bought $50 ticket subscriptions as their textbook?
What kind of concert series would you book with an $11,000 budget?
What if your Music Business majors handled the booking and marketing of said series as part of their Classical Music Business Class, and students could have internships running the series?
It's happening at Millersville University. Now.

What used to take 20 minutes now takes a mere five minutes, thanks to Taylor Tesch's easy-to-handle swing hopper protector. At the end of a long day, Tesch says he would spend up to 40 minutes just covering up the swing augers. It took Taylor less than an hour to turn his timesaver into a reality. Taylor farms with his father-in-law, Terry Arnhalt, and they raise corn and soybeans.
Instead of messing with tarps, bungee straps and bricks, I came up with a better idea to cover up the swing hopper when not in use during harvest. I took an old 1,500-gal. water tank and cut it in half. Then I cut out a U-shaped section in the partial water tank so it would slide right over the auger tube. I added four handles to make it easier to maneuver the hopper cover.
As tractors have become bigger and taller through the years, reaching the fuel tank has become more of a challenge. To give me a boost, I added a step using expanded metal to ensure I don't slip. I welded the step to a flat piece of iron and bolted the unit to the tractor weight bracket.

Moving 250-lb. cattle lick tubs is hard on the back. To make a tub roller, start with a 1¼"x1¼"-wide piece of angle iron that's 40" long. Drill a hole 6" from the end and attach a bent ¾" carriage bolt with two nuts and tighten. To use, hook the lip of the tub with the carriage bolt, tilt the tub and roll it where you want.

The parents of a missing Tucson girl gave an interview today on a national television morning show and among those watching was at least one body language expert.
Susan Constantine, an expert on deception detection, has worked on over 300 cases, including the Casey Anthony case, training law enforcement on studying body language.
Constantine watched this morning's interview on NBC's "Today" show with Sergio and Rebecca Celis, whose 6-year-old daughter Isabel was reported missing on April 21, and said in a Skype interview today that while there is no specific gesture that shows deception, she did notice inconsistencies.
She said Rebecca Celis "had genuine sadness" in her eyes and that she was deeply saddened. Constantine, who is not involved in this investigation, said she did not see deception in the mother.
"I didn't see this so much in the dad," Constantine said.
She said the inconsistencies she saw were that Sergio "tends to have his voice kind of crack, but you don't see any tears."
Constantine did point out that when someone who is used to being examined is put in the hot seat, this can cause anxiety which can be confused as deception. Sergio Celis, who performs with the Arizona Opera, may fall into this category, she said.
Tucson Police, who have their own body language analysts, say they have not focused their attention on any one suspect, but they have not ruled anyone out.
