Now in its 12th year, the Shop.org eHoliday Study, conducted in partnership with BIGinsight, provides a valuable benchmarking tool for online retailers—both multichannel and web only—during the holiday season.
In June and September we conduct a series of surveys to gauge pre-holiday plans and outlook for both retailers and consumers. This study helps you understand how retailers and consumers view what's important for the season and how your retail peers are preparing. We follow up in January with a survey of how the season went, sharing what worked - and what didn't - to help you plan for next year's season. During the summer, we also release our annual Holiday Strategy and Planning Guide to help retailers plan in detail for the upcoming holiday season.
The results of the annual eHoliday Study are released to all Shop.org Members, as well as other retailers who complete the surveys. Retailers who wish to participate in upcoming eHoliday surveys should contact Fiona Swerdlow, Head of Research at Shop.org, at email@example.com.

Buizel's stats are better than most Pokemon, and its Water typing makes it weak to only Grass- and Electric-type attacks. Buizel pairs those stats with a great movepool that lets it get past many Little Cup Pokemon. Unfortunately for the sea weasel, every advantage comes with a downside; in this case, the downside is its terribly low defenses. Buizel is best used in the rain, as one of its abilities, Swift Swim, doubles its Speed when the skies are open. With its great ability to sweep and 38 Speed in the rain, Buizel can be a great addition to a team.
Aqua Tail, Buizel's strongest physical STAB attack, can 2HKO many more Pokemon than Waterfall, namely Scraggy and bulky Mienfoo. Aqua Jet gives Buizel a STAB priority attack that can revenge kill most Pokemon, but Buizel must watch out for Lileep and its ability, Storm Drain, as it will often switch in to absorb the attack. Return has the ability to 2HKO Eviolite Staryu, but comes up short against Eviolite Chinchou at full HP. Buizel running a Jolly nature can 2HKO Ferroseed with Hidden Power Fire without a Life Orb. If you decide not to use Hidden Power Fire, it frees up 36 EVs that could go into Buizel's lacking Special Defense stat. A Swords Dance pass is very appreciated, as it makes Buizel a much bigger threat.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Waterfall can now 2HKO Scraggy and bulky Mienfoo with the boost from the Choice Band, but Aqua Tail's extra power is always appreciated as both Fighting-types have Drain Punch. Return 3HKOs Chinchou, even the RestTalk set, which usually only has Scald as its attacking move. Buizel must watch out for Thunder Wave, though. Brick Break usually 2HKOs Eviolite Ferroseed and Lileep. Switcheroo can cripple counters to Buizel, such as Slowpoke, Lileep, Staryu, and Chinchou, all of which are special sweepers. It will even beat Scraggy and Mienfoo, as it can lock them into an undesired move and take away their Eviolite.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set is excellent for Baton Passing boosts to a potential physical sweeper. Bulk Up provides not only boosts to Attack, but also to Defense, which can be essential in a Baton Pass chain. Agility provides boosts to Speed, which is mandatory in a Baton Pass team and useful if you only want to set up a sweeper. Waterfall is in the last spot so that Buizel can actually deal damage to the opposing Pokemon. In this set, Buizel reaches 19 Speed, outspeeding almost every non-scarfed Pokemon.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Toxic can be used in the Life Orb set but not the Choice Band set, as it already has Switcheroo to harm its walls. Buizel can run Quick Attack to revenge kill anything at low health, but Aqua Jet does more damage except against Lileep, Frillish, and other Pokemon that resist Water-type attacks. Buizel could run Mud-Slap to lower an opponent's accuracy so that it can't hit it, but it is generally luck-based, weak, and it doesn't hit Flying-types.
Checks and Counters
Chinchou counters Buizel hard with a STAB Thunderbolt, and Slowpoke walls all of Buizel's attacks and can then cripple it with Toxic or Thunder Wave. Without a Choice Band, Buizel is countered by Lileep, taking huge damage from its Energy Ball. Ferroseed can Leech Seed Buizel and alternate between Protect and Spikes, even if it is against the Choice Band set. Choice Scarf Magnemite can OHKO Buizel with a STAB Thunderbolt.

Although they are usually not cancerous (benign), pheochromocytomas often cause the adrenal glands to make too many stress hormones called epinephrines and norepinephrines. This can lead to high blood pressure and cause symptoms such as severe headaches, irritability, sweating, rapid heart rate, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, weakness, chest pain, and a feeling of anxiety. Rarely, this kind of tumor occurs outside the adrenal gland, usually somewhere in the abdomen, and are called extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas.[1][2][3][4] Pheochromocytomas can occur in certain familial genetic syndromes.[4]Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors of the

hi am new here. i am tewenty two weeks pregant and we are having a son. a couple of days ago my husband and i were talking about the delivery of our baby. he was in the delivery room with our daughter. but now his is telling me he does not want to even be in the delivery room woth our son nj i know its his choice but i feel sort of hurt. with our daugther we had way tooo many people in the room. we had my mom and sister my father, my husband, lots of doctors and medwive, and intrens. so this time i wanted just him and me and he doesnlt want to go. how do i cope with this???
Sorry to hear that.. I can imagine that would be hurtful. I did not give my fiance a choice.. He helped me make our daughter and he sure as hell was going to be there supporting me while i had to go through childbirth.... so he HAD to be in the room, he however did not have to watch the birth. did your husband give you a reason as to why he didn't want to be in there? I have to respect his feelings if he doesn't want to be in there, but i'm kind of feeling like he's in the wrong for not being there to support you and be with the baby when he arrives.
I understand how hurt you are...but start by talking to him and trying to find out WHY he doesn't want to be there. Does he not like the "blood etc"? Does he not like the "chaos"? If it is the gross stuff, then you can ask the nurses to put a sheet or a curtain up so he doesn't see this. Then tell him why you want him there...let him know that labor is a scary time for new moms and it helps to have him next to you holding your hand. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
I think Brinny is on the right track so far as doing a bit more investigating so far as why he is hesitant to be in the room. Perhaps like you said-there were so many people before that he felt lost as well. I think that it's really important that you talk with him about his feelings. Let us know if you need more support around this, and how things are going.
Sending gentle hugs your way,
I'm sorry to hear that your husband feels that way - it sounds like a hurtful situation. What reasons has your husband given for why he doesn't want to be in the room? Perhaps if you can work through any anxieties he has, he would feel differently. Have you told him how important it is to you that he is present? Write back - hopefully we can help a bit.
just that he did want to be there. i was so huurt and toooken back because this is his son. and for him to not want to be there to see or cut the cord really hurts and so now am super sad.
Have you tried talking to him yet about why it is important to you that he be in the delivery room? And if he still remains persistent about not being in the room do you have someone else who could be there to support you, cheer you on, share the joy, take photos, cut the cord, ect...? I'm so sad at the thought of you delivering your son alone just because he doesn't want to be in there. it doesn't really sound like a good enough reason to me.
ok so we talked alittle bit together and i think we are on the same page now . he will go now that i told him i just want him and me in the room and all he has to d is stand by my head and just take the first pic and cut the cord. he has agree that if he feels to over whemld he can step out for a bit. i have no problem with it and that i just need his support.
I am SO PROUD of you for talking to him. That is hard to do, but it sounds like you did a great job of sharing your feelings and what you need. That is awesome. One additional thought I have is to give the RNs a heads up that dad might get a bit overwhelmed so that they can offer him some support and help meet your goal as parents of having him there. Our nurses are trained in "Family centered care", which means that they are trained to look at the entire family unit-mom, dad and baby as their patient. They also help families through labor everyday so I'm betting they have some good tactics and helpful words in these situations. I am sure that this is not a unique thing and they have seen it many times before.
Keep up the open communication, again really impressed with you! What a good mamma you are! :)
That is so awesome!! I'm glad you have been able to work it out.
thank you ladys for all the advise and good strong words of encouragement it realy means alot. and am glad i could talk to my husband we have always been good at that but i think this topic just sacrys him as much as me because there is so much that can go wrong this time. but it one day at a time with my family and that is all i could ever ask for. again thank you all
You are so brave to be doing this in the first place, and definitely strong enough to take whatever comes, but it is nice to have supportive people around you. My husband faints at the sight of blood, can't stand seeing me in pain, and was really nervous about natural delivery, but he did an awesome job! One of the most important things we did was giving him a really important - blood free - job. He put cold cloths on my forehead and we prepared some things for him to say to cheer me on as well as having him do the counting. It helped that both of us were busy and he knew just what to do in order to be my hero. Best of luck!
I am glad that you were able to talk to him about it and that you came to a mutual agreement. I think that the whole process can be scary for a lot of men because they realize how much they are NOT in control of. You could be hurt, the baby could be hurt...and there is nothing they can do. This can be an uncomfortable feeling for them, but in all reality..being outside in the waiting room would be worse! I am glad he is going with you:)
Congrats and I am glad this was resolved. I have been in the delivery room with my wife for all three babies, and I can't imagine being anywhere else. I also feel like he would have regretted not being there if you didn't make it clear how important it is to you. Strongmoms to the rescue again! Best of luck!
To echo everyone else, good job and I'm glad for you. I highly doubt he will regret staying in the room but he might regret not being there. So glad you will get the support you need. :-)

America's war dead have proved the privilege of freedom and security is never free and the current situation in Iraq has reminded Americans what it means to be free and patriotic.

Overview of Maryland Testing Requirements
How to Qualify for Certification
For initial certification in Maryland, all candidates must:
- Earn a bachelor's or higher degree.
- Complete an approved program of teacher education OR complete the coursework and experience requirements outlined in the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR).
- Pass The Praxis Series™ tests for their certification area or other national, state-approved tests. See the Maryland State Department of Education for complete testing information.
Important Information
- If you test in Maryland, your score report will be sent automatically to the Maryland State Department of Education. If you test outside of Maryland, select the Maryland State Department of Education (state code 7403) as a score recipient when you register or on an additional score report request.
- Maryland requires a Social Security number (SSN) in order to process educator certification paperwork and to get a match to your score report. ETS does not require your SSN for its own purposes, but will submit it to Maryland with your test results. Failure to provide your SSN could delay processing of your certification application.
- Beginning with the 2013–14 testing year, ETS is administering a new version of the Health Education test. This new test will be offered in a computer-delivered format and the new test code will be 5551. The new test covers the same content as the previous tests. However, scores are reported on a different scale, so requirements will vary from previous versions. All scores for discontinued tests are reportable for 10 years from the date the test was taken. Consult the Test Requirements table for specific score requirements.
ETS is offering three additional tests in a computer-delivered format that will be introduced throughout the testing year. Visit Test Centers and Dates to find testing centers near you. For tests available in both formats (paper and computer), the computer-delivered versions cover the same content as the paper-delivered versions and are scored on the same scale; however, the computer-delivered tests have different test codes.
- English to Speakers of Other Languages (5361) — February 2014*
- Music: Content and Instruction (5114) — February 2014*
- Technology Education (5051) — July 2014
*Beginning February 2014, this test will not be available in a paper-delivered format except as required for ADA accommodations.
Who Must Take the Tests?
Teacher candidates or those wishing to become certified must take The Praxis Series tests.
Prior to entering a teacher education program at your college or university, you may be required to take the Praxis I® tests to demonstrate your qualifications.
In Maryland, you must take the appropriate Praxis II® tests for each area of certification you seek.

Legislation puts focus on tobacco tax, traffic cameras
By Nathan Baker
An Elizabethton state representative is having second thoughts about a controversial bill he introduced in the House recently that could eliminate the excise tax on tobacco products.
Among the usual flurry of filings in the opening weeks of the state General Assembly, Rep. Kent Williams, I-Elizabethton, proposed a bill to gradually eliminate the state excise tax on cigarettes by 2015 and other tobacco products by 2018, but said recently that he only introduced the bill as a favor to fellow lawmaker Sen. Frank Niceley, R-Strawberry Plains. He said he would likely not push for its passage.
"It was never really going to happen," Williams said. "I think I'm going to end up pulling that legislation if no one else signs up as a co-sponsor."
Williams said he agreed to sponsor the bill for Niceley, who filed its companion in the Senate, because another representative who originally intended to file it had already reached the 15-bill limit imposed on legislators this year by the House Rules Committee.
He said the intent of the bill was to start a conversation about the loss of revenue to surrounding states that already have lower taxes on tobacco products.

Hath ~ I've been following your posts. Honey, much strength to you. No advise, just hugs and more hugs. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Missy ~ STBX wife of an attorney here. My SAWH is a litigator who gets paid to argue for a living. He is in private practice. Looking back, I see now he could not stand to take orders, or criticism, from superiors. I cannot say the group are liars as a whole, but they surely are adept at bending the truth to serve the client.
Ironically, he is a former prosecutor aka "the good guys". I found cheating and lying was far more prevalent in that group, than any subsequent firm he joined as a "defender".
I do not know if all lawyers make shitty husbands (I know some happy couples), but they seem very prone to flattery and ego stroking. My STBX has done zero to save our marriage. He is too busy "defending" himself and painting himself the victim. I am exhausted by his gamesmanship.
Hope, sweetie, and all who post here. Sending you continued strength and love...
Hath - My doctor wants me to try other measures first before starting meds. She says she does not want to medicate "grief". She has prescribed me Ambien for sleep though. I am on modified duty at work until end of this year. I am trying to exercise and engage myself in other activities. But I can't get over the fact that the person I trusted the most can do this horrific thing to our family.
I am struggling with this situation right now. Please help me see clearly.
2 weeks ago, My husband and I had some arguments at night. That night he went on craigslist to find an apartment for him just in case if he needed to move out. I don't know for sure what he saw on CL because he says he opened it in incognito window in google chrome where history can not be stored. He did not tell all these to me but I had to ask him and then he told me.
This was a very severe trigger for me because it all started with CL. I was on the floor crying. Then I told him that him going on computer late at night makes me really uncomfortable so please don't do that. You can do it when everybody is awake but just to make me feel safe please don't do it at night. He agreed on that.
Last Sunday, around at 4 AM I went to his bedroom and I saw him with his laptop. He said he was watching TV shows on netflix because he was not able to sleep. We have a direct streaming on TV but he chose laptop after I requested him not to do that.
He said he did not remember that. I have been having really bad time after this incident.
I have asked him to move out if he wants to keep hurting me like this.
I brought this thing up to my IC and our MC. They both thought what he did was not right. One of them even said that it is just like an alcoholic seating alone with lots of alcohol. He is not drinking it but there is a possibility that he would.
Then he mentioned it to his IC and her response was
No other regular therapist would understand this situation. As a sexual addiction therapist, her take on this situation would be that we need to setup certain boundaries. Deciding that he will not access computer at all is probably not the right thing. When you feel frustrated and bogged down, it should be OK for you to do what you feel will help you over come the period of guilt and depression. It can be watching TV shows or browsing websites. In fact, it would be better if you were able to show / prove that you do not go to such websites anymore.
Now my head is spinning. I thought what we agreed upon was reasonable but his IC saying just the opposite thing. I can not continue to live like this in fear. If you want to restore this M , then you should be doing everything to rebuild the trust but he is doing just the opposite by walking on a fine line.
I don't know what to do. Am I over reacting? I am thinking about talking directly to his IC and clarify this.
Thank you.
There is another woman in my group therapy that has a similar story to mine, more than average serious case. Her husband is not allowed internet access on his phone, at work, and can only use it at home while supervised. That is what makes her feel safe, and obviously that is the best course of action for anyone in early recovery. But he has a job that he can do that. Another woman in my group whose husband's online porn addiction has gotten him fired from jobs has Net Nanny on her computer at home, that is what makes her feel safe. Now she can feel safe when he uses it when she is not there, and she doesn't have to worry about walking in on him looking at porn AGAIN.
My SAWH has to use the internet at work for his job. Presumably he would never risk inappropriate internet activity at work since it is always monitored, but you never know. He has to carry a work-provided Blackberry with him at all times because he works for different clients all over the globe in different time zones, and it has internet access. Then of course because of this he also has to use the internet/computer at home to answer off-hour emails and phone calls. Cutting internet off him completely is not an option.
In the beginning, he just never used the home computer unless I was in the room. I needed that to feel safe. He would show me his internet history on his phone. And I fully admit I keylogged the computer and put spyware on his phone, which may or may not be legal where you live, without his knowledge. He has since switched phones so it is not tracked any more. I have since realized if he is going to fall down that rabbit hole, he can easily go buy a prepaid smartphone to do his acting out. Quite honestly that could happen even if he had no internet access at home or work at all. But I needed to get to that point in my recovery to accept that before I could stop having some sort of hard proof he was behaving to feel safe.
There's three components to this. First, he should remove as much as much temptation and opportunity as he can for the addict in early recovery, because you want to set him up to succeed. That doesn't necessarily involve a total internet ban, but it can. Second, you need boundaries to make you feel safe. They need to be quantitative and not subject to different interpretations. Third, you need to feel like he is honoring your boundaries and making efforts toward his recovery and your healing. That means he taking initiative to follow your boundaries and then some, and you acknowledging that and appreciating that, reinforcing your feeling of safety and rewarding his efforts. Of course also you confront him when he doesn't. And you keep doing all three of these components until you both feel like you don't need to any more.
I don't know if any of this makes sense. But it is what I understand from my experience and observing others in similar predicaments.
He reassured me that he has told everything to his CSAT. I made him give that to me in writing. He is going to arrange a conference call with the therapist and then hopefully I will have better understanding.
He is saying that he has realized that it was a mistake to go on computer at night and he is never going to do it again. I don't know what to believe. I feel that if he can not follow through on a simple thing like this than how can he be committed to his recovery.
I will post again after I talk to his therapist.
As a spouse of a SA it is imperative that you cling tightly to what you know is true & real. How do you know if an addict is lying? If he's talking, he's lying. Plain & simple. If it's not a flat-out, bald-faced lie, it's a prevarication, obfuscation, fabrication, truth-bending, twisting of the facts.
Don't believe a word your SA says or writes. Not one word. You will see truth & reality in his actions alone.
IMHO it is critical to get the HIPPA consent form so whenever you have any doubts about what he says, you can call and talk to the therapist whenever you feel like you need verification.
After learning about this characteristic of a SA, I feel scared and hopeless. Can they ever change this? I feel I can never win this battle so it's not even worth trying.
He then called me crying asking if we could talk one last time. I said yes and had my mom drive me to the restaurant we were going to meet at. He sat down and went over a few more things about the divorce papers and then proceeded to ask me if there was anything I needed to tell him and when I was going to stop bsing him. I told him I didnt come here for this and was trying to be nice because he was crying. He said not knowing is not fair and he deserves respect. I was like the same respect you had given me the last 7 years. He then told me that he was getting to the bottom of my bs story tonight. His friend carpools with my friend (the one that stopped by my house on Tuesday night). I guess my friend pretty much got verbally attacked the entire time he was in the car with my SAWHs friend. Obviously, there was nothing to learn, but my SAWH is still not satisfied and set up a meeting with my friend on Saturday. I feel so bad that he drug people into this.
I considered my SAWHs friend and his family my friend and he definitely drug my name through the mud with him. Making me look like I was lying and cheating and thats why our marriage ended. I asked him if he told his friend about his past and everything hes done to me. He said no. He wants everyone to think hes the victim in this and I told him so. I said you won buddy and Im done being nice. I hope people figure out who you truly are. He got up and walked out.
He then messaged me and said Im sorry, I didnt want it to go down like that but my heart is broken and I truly believe youre hiding something, can I call you? I said NO, leave me alone. He hasnt messaged me since. I guess I am so upset because he is basically threatening a friend of mine and a fellow employee of ours that if hes my friend or ever becomes anything more, he wont go anywhere in this department. Its so sad and so sick.
** thank you nature girl for that link about NPD... It was crazy how spot on it was**
I feel so bad that he drug people into this.
Mine would do this type of thing to cause me to further isolate from everyone.
He sounds very manipulative. Crying for himself one minute, then attacking the next. It puts you on quite a roller-coaster. I finally got it that I could never predict what was coming next. I just sort of stay braced, for whatever it is. It's stressful, even now after the divorce. It was really hard during the divorce process.
Hang in there!!

** thank you nature girl for that link about NPD... It was crazy how spot on it was**
You're welcome, and I'm sorry it fit. It's a special kind of hell when your hubby is a SA and NPD. On the bright side, forewarned is forearmed. Read up on it & get an idea what your future will be like.
It is scary. I think some can change. Mine wouldn't even try, so I don't know what SA looks like in recovery. The thing is, it isn't hopeless. Whether he is going to go into recovery or not, or is going to try and will either succeed or not....any of these situations leave you needing to take care of yourself, so it is freeing in that way. Even if it doesn't feel that way at all. You need to heal from the trauma. He can't do that for you. You need to learn about boundaries and set yours. He's in your life and what he does definitely affects you, but his actions don't determine what you need to do. You need to take care of yourself....learn self-care activities that are meaningful to you and hang on to them for dear life, whether he recovers or not.
I was in the depths of despair upon learning of my X's cheating. Then more of the truth came trickling out, which hurt me even more. I got more and more frantic, trying to get some control in my life. Eventually I started going to 12-step programs and also began serious therapy to heal from the emotional trauma.
I made a list of self-care activities and printed it out, so I could have something to turn to when freaking out. Some things on there were: meditate, SI, get outside, go for a brisk walk, therapy, Al-Anon and S-Anon, call a friend, journal, garden. It was very hard to do some of these things, when I just wanted the horrible pain to stop, and gardening didn't exactly DO that.
I'm so sorry you have had to find your way here. We know how you feel. There's great support here.
Hath, Missy and NG you guys were spot on.
He did modify the truth. I spoke to his therapist on phone last evening. She said that he presented it as a self imposed boundary not mutually agreed upon boundary She agreed with me that he did not keep his word. She even emailed my husband about the discussion we had so i did not have to argue with my husband that he said something else in the therapy session. I did not have energy to argue either. His therapist also suggested that I keep patience since we just started seeing CSATs. She also pointed out that at least he is willing to recover. (but my problem is he says "Yes" to everything and does only what he wants to do)
After reading you posts I realize that this is how it's going to be and I will have to keep verifying things with his therapist.
As far as filter in computer is concern, He works with computer and he can work his way around if he wants to . He can be very sneaky.
I started reading "out of the shadow . (Thanks NG). I think I am beginning to understand what a monstrous thing this is. I question myself that do I want that for my entire life if I stay with him? The book talks about how powerless they are over their addiction but he still thinks that he has will power to stop it since he saw his family suffered so much. He has even completed first 3 steps with his sponsor. I see contradictions everywhere.
Compartmented- Thank you for valuable advise. It seems like an excellent idea to have a list handy so you can refer it quickly. I used to be a planner. I like things in order and the thing i hated the most in uncertainty. Right now life seems at its best for being chaotic.
Lastin-Thanks honey. I feel a lot for you. Your husband has some guts. How can he shift the blame to you? It sounds like he is not able to accept his problems. You deserve better Lastin.

I once overheard a conversation between my mother and my aunt a few years ago discussing the Clinton-Lewinsky saga and they would defintely agree with you. I was in the next room and they didn't know I could hear them, but the conversation went something like this:
Mom: "Oh Lord, please don't tell me that's what they're doing."
Aunt: "Yes [mom's name], at least that's what [daughter's name] told me."
Mom: "Uh, uh, uh!"
More normal than you think, Paulie. Must be all those godforsaken liberals/socialists:
"The US Center for Disease Control determined, in a 2005 survey, that the incidence of anal relations in the US heterosexual population is on the increase. The survey showed that 40 percent of men and 35 percent of women between 25 and 44 had engaged in heterosexual anal sex; in 1992 a similar survey found that only 25.6 percent of men 18 to 59 and 20.4 percent of women 18 to 59 had. By way of comparison, seven times as many women as gay men engage in anal intercourse, a figure reflecting the greater overall heterosexual population."

A Cold Space Tale by Dan "Pounce" Potter
Roger never in his life would have imagined that a space ship would be so loud before he took this job. Since then, he'd learned that sound is life. Where there is sound, there must be air - or at least gas - and that was much preferable to the silence of a vacuum. When you couldn't hear the rthymic shunk-shunk-shuck of the Solothurn drive's core you knew you were in trouble. Roger had worked in the engine room so long that he couldn't sleep without that sound.
There were, of course, more than a couple sounds that Roger had learned to fear - sudden pops, cracks, and anything that disrupted the pulsating harmony of the engines. Now it was a subtle hissing that reached Roger's ears. Not all hissing was bad - the life support systems hissed all the time - but this hiss was constant, not rythmic. Something was leaking.
Roger paced around the engine room, trying get a bead on where that hiss was coming from. He swore when he found it. It was in Roger's least favorite place, the spider's nest he called it, a tangle of cords, hoses and pipes. Everytime something went wrong in there, Roger broke something getting into or out of it. Sighing, he grabbed a roll of duct tape and a flashlight. With the flashlight clenched in his teeth, he crawled into the nest.
The leak was pretty far back and judging from the smell of freon probably had some thing to do with the coolant systems. Then he saw it. A grey hose indistinguishable from all the others lay on the floor like a holy grail, isolated, spewing mist from a vertical slash. Roger stopped. Something was wrong, hoses don't develop tears like that in the middle of the floor, unless... That was when he felt something cold and hard press againist his temple.
Cold Space covers the years 1949 to 1989, after swiss scientists discovered a faster than light drive and antigravity using obscure physics principles. The Soviets quickly stole the idea, and the race for the stars was on!
The ships they flew in were crude, rough, and apt to fall apart if not tended constantly, but they worked!
The Cold War has moved into space, where the Americans, Soviets, and the rest of the nations of the world move in a political miasma of espionage, proxy wars, revolution, deceit, and betrayal.
The years 1949-1989 are a time of profound cultural change, from sock-hops to discos, from Studebakers and Kaisers to Deloreans and Z-cars, from sliderules to micro computers, from the nuclear family to extended step-families, single moms, and gay parents.
Cold Space has 50 extra-solar colonies on 23 planets and moons, as well as Mars, the moon, and other colonies in our own solar system. The older colonies grow into maturity and power, while the young colonies live in a frontier state, where the latest tech may be a liability because no one can fix it. There are revolts, insurrections, and coups, shadow wars and assassinations, and political allies with radically opposite means and ends.

Mitt Romney wasn't the only wealthy candidate who lost last night.
Across the country, millionaires and billionaires who used their own money to run were roundly rejected by voters last night. A quick survey of wealthy, self-financed congressional candidates showed that vast majority were defeated – and many were targeted during the campaign for their wealth.
Rich, is seems, is now a four-letter word in politics.
The most high-profile wealthy loser – aside from Romney – was Linda McMahon. The former CEO of World Wrestling Entertaining, spent more than $40 million on her latest bid for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut. She's now spent nearly $100 million on her two races. (Read more: What Linda McMahon Could Have Done With Her $100 Million)
Another big spender was Tom Smith, the GOP's senate nominee from Pennsylvania. Smith spent more than $16 million of his own fortune to try to defeat incumbent Democrat Bob Casey. Casey won by a wide margin last night.
In Colorado, Democratic Congressman Ed Perlmutter tromped Joe Coors, the scion of the Molson Coors Brewing family, who spent more than $3 million on the race. In Maryland, businessman Rob Sobhani lost a bid to replace U.S. Senator Ben Cardin. Sobhani, who ran as an independent, spent more than $4 million of his own money on a blizzard of ads in Baltimore and Washington media markets.
One of the rare wealthy winners was Democrat Suzan DelBene, a former Microsoft exec who defeated Republican John Koster for a congressional seat in Washington state. She used more than $2 million of her own money for the campaign.
Of course, lots of wealthy incumbents won their elections last night. But the poor showing among self-financed challengers echoes a similar result in the 2010 election – and raises the question of whether voters have become less friendly to wealthy candidates and the perception that they're buying political office.
There are two ways to read the results. The first is that the candidates were just poor candidates, and the money kept them in the race despite their shortfalls as politicians. Rather than hurting them, their fortunes may have kept them competitive in races they would have otherwise never even been able to enter.
There are very few indications in national polls that Americans have a more negative view of the wealthy overall than they did five or 10 years ago. (Read more: Has Obama Been Good for Millionaires?)
Yet the other view is that wealth has indeed become a liability on the campaign trail. In many of the races mentioned, opponents hammered the wealthy candidates for being out of touch with the needs of everyday Americans. McMahon's opponent, Chris Murphy, attacked her yacht (and it's infamous name), her mansion, her Bentleys and her various homes. He said McMahon just wanted to "cut taxes for millionaires like herself."
Call it class warfare, or populism, or political lies, or the truth. Anyway you look at it, attacking the wealthy for their fortunes proved to be a successful strategy in 2012.

Ready for Retirement at Age 65? 70?
A study cited by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) cast doubt on whether most Americans will be ready to retire at age 70, let alone age 65. EBRI researcher Jack VanDerhei determined that 90% of workers in the highest-income quartile have saved enough for retirement by age 65 to have a 50% probability of not outliving their assets. Those in the next-highest quartile would have to work until age 72 to have a 50% probability of not running out of money, while those in the third-lowest quartile would have to work until age 81.
If these numbers sound surprising, VanDerhei suggests that previously published data that was more optimistic failed to consider escalating health care costs and disregarded longevity risk.
One strategy individuals can follow to improve their retirement readiness is to work longer. The number of households viewed as being ready for retirement rises 33% when workers who participate in defined-contribution plans (e.g., a 401(k) plan) postpone retirement until age 70. Even if someone does not participate in a plan, 23% of households are more ready when retirement is postponed from age 65 to age 70.

John Rodriguez from California posted about 1 year ago:
The article mentions saving 8 times ones salary.
Does this mean salary before or after tax - since no or less tax will be paid later?
Likewise if a person saves 10% of their salary, should the 10% figure also be subtracted from the salary before arriving at the 8x total?
Ransom Simmons from Florida posted about 1 year ago:
I find this hard to believe. If, for instance, I finally make 10 million dollars a year, I will need to save 8 million dollars in order to retire comfotably? This is nonsense. No one can spend at a high level and save at the same time unless they are printing the money. So only Obama and Bernanke fit your criteria. If you reach true retirement and your house, car, and other properties are not fully paid for and you are not essentially debt free, then you are not ready for retirement. Also, no one can prepare adequately for the meteor strike from space.

As of Monday, March 4, 2013

NEW YORK — A newborn baby delivered by emergency surgery after his parents were killed in a hit-and-run car accident on their way to the hospital has died, a New York police spokesman said on Monday.
The baby boy died from injuries overnight at New York's Bellevue Hospital, the spokesman said.
His parents, Raizy and Nachman Glauber, were 21-year-old Orthodox Jews from a close-knit enclave in Williamsburg, in the borough of Brooklyn. They were going to the hospital to have their first child.
Following religious tradition, the baby will be named, circumcised and buried quickly in a private service, said family friend and community leader Isaac Abraham.
"Had it not been for this coward who caused this accident and ran off, the baby would have been in the mother's womb and lived," he said. "It's the prosecution's obligation to charge these cowards with triple homicide."
Police were searching for the hit-and-run driver, a man, and a female passenger who fled the accident early Sunday morning, just after midnight, that killed the boy's parents.
Police say their vehicle, a gray BMW sedan, struck the side of the taxi that was taking the couple to the hospital. The pair fled on foot, leaving the car behind.
Family friends told local media that Raizy Glauber was about six months pregnant and had wanted to go to the hospital because she was not feeling well.
Abraham said the newborn weighed only three pounds. He was delivered by cesarean section.
A funeral for the baby's parents was held on Sunday in Brooklyn, where mourners overflowed the synagogue and poured onto the surrounding streets. Pallbearers carried the pair of caskets, draped in black velvet.
"First, it's like you are hit in the gut," said Abraham. "Now you are hit in the face."
Witnesses reported the BMW traveling at a high rate of speed, and the taxi was at a stop sign, police said.
The taxi driver was treated at a local hospital and released.
Raizy Glauber's parents live in Williamsburg, and Nachman Glauber's parents live in Monsey, New York, home to a large community of Orthodox Jews.

"Steinbeck to Springsteen"
The Grapes of Wrath is a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel written by John Steinbeck in 1939. Not only was this book a landmark social commentary in its day and a major publishing success, it became an award-winning and profitable Hollywood film, and also inspired at least two rounds of music – one by Woody Guthrie in 1940 and another by Bruce Springsteen in the 1990s. First, the book.
The Grapes of Wrath focuses on a poor family of Oklahoma sharecroppers named the Joads who are driven from their home and land during the 1930s Dust Bowl and Great Depression. The story tracks the family's near hopeless situation as they set out for California along with thousands of other "Okies" in search of land, jobs, and dignity. Along the way they face suspicion and contempt, and once in California they are harassed and persecuted as transient labor, exploited by wealthy farm owners and their hired police. All of this has a radicalizing effect on the novel's main character, Tom Joad, who starts thinking in broader social terms, beyond himself — part of the message Steinbeck intends.
John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California in 1902. His father served as the county treasurer; his mother was a teacher. He graduated from the local high school in 1919, working summers as a hired hand on California farms and ranches. Attending Stanford University for six years without obtaining a degree, he decided in 1925 to pursue a writing career in New York. There, while writing, he also worked as a bricklayer, reporter, and manual laborer, but failed to find a publisher. He returned to California in 1927 where a series of novels followed – Cup of Gold, The Pastures of Heaven, and To a God Unknown — all of which were poorly received. Better notices and critical success came with Tortilla Flat in 1935, In Dubious Battle in 1936, and Of Mice and Men in 1937. Steinbeck then traveled to Oklahoma, where he joined a group of farmers embarking for California, living and working with one family for two years. This experience became the basis for The Grapes of Wrath.
Published in New York by Viking Press and released in mid-April 1939, the novel provoked controversy, as it was a pointed protest of the nation's economic plight and particularly that of poor farmers. The novel's structure was somewhat unique in that it mixed historical background chapters with the novel's plot and characters. Steinbeck's voice, however, is found in Tom Joad, the novel's main character. Joad is found returning home to Oklahoma after a jail sentence for killing a man in a brawl, only to find a devastated landscape with local farms being repossessed by the banks. Tom and an itinerant preacher accompany Tom's family on their trek to California over highway 66. Through Tom Joad, Steinbeck builds a slow-burn anger and sense of injustice over the migrants' misery that is caused not only by weather and misfortune, but by exploitive California farmers who deliberately degrade the migrants to keep them powerless. The book proves a powerful tale of social injustice. The book was publicly banned in some places, burned in others, and heatedly debated on the radio.
At its release, The Grapes of Wrath became controversial and something of a national event. In fact, the book was publicly banned in some places and burned in others. It was heatedly debated on the radio. Reviewers were initially split. Some loved it, others were highly critical. One reviewer for the London Times named it "one of the most arresting [novels] of its time." Newsweekcalled the book a "mess of silly propaganda, superficial observation, careless infidelity to the proper use of idiom, tasteless pornographical and scatagorical talk."A reviewer for the New York Times, although critical of the book's plot structure, said: ". . . Steinbeck has written a novel from the depth's of his heart with a sincerity seldom equaled. It may be an exaggeration, but it is the exaggeration of an honest and splendid writer." The Associated Farmers of California, displeased with the book's depiction of California farmers, denounced the book as a "pack of lies" also calling it "communist propaganda".
Although Steinbeck's book had it critics, prominent defenders also emerged – among them, Eleanor Roosevelt who stated publicly that she never thought the book was "exaggerated" as some critics had charged. Life magazine in June 1939 ran a two-page spread on Steinbeck's book and the issue of migrant workers, with photos showing the grim conditions. For many who read the Grapes of Wrath, the book left a strong emotional impression. Yet Steinbeck, for his part, refused to publicly promote the book, believing it had to stand on its own merits. The first printing of hardback edition was large for its time – estimated between 20,000 and 50,000. By February 1940, The Grapes of Wrath was in its 11th printing, amounting to more than 430,000 copies. In 1939, it became the best-selling book in America and was among the top ten bestsellers again in 1940. Steinbeck received a Pulitzer Prize for the novel in May 1940. The book brought death threats to Steinbeck, charges that he was a Communist, and surveil- lance by the FBI.
The Grapes of Wrath did help to improve migrant conditions, but it also brought threats on Steinbeck's life, charges that he was a Communist, and surveillance by the FBI. Steinbeck continued his career as a writer, publishing other notable works, including: The Moon Is Down (1942); Cannery Row (1945); The Pearl (1947); East of Eden (1952), The Winter of Our Discontent (1961); Travels With Charley (1962); and others. Seventeen of his works went on to become films, and he also worked as a Hollywood writer. In 1962, Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature with the Nobel committee citing the Grapes of Wrath as a "great work" and one of the committee's main reasons for granting Steinbeck the Prize. The copyright for The Grapes of Wrath was renewed in John Steinbeck's name in 1967. At the 50th anniversary of the book in 1989, it had sold close to 4.5 million copies in the U.S. alone, with worldwide sales then reaching about14 million. Paperbacks were then selling at a rate of about 100,000 a year.
Hollywood Film
In 1939, even while the book was still in its controversial first flush, plans were made to produce a film version of the story. The film rights were acquired by Darryl F. Zanuck of 20th Century-Fox who assigned the project to his top director, John Ford, already famous for a bevy of successful westerns. Zanuck, however, was nervous about the novel's hard left political views and sent private investigators to Oklahoma to check out the "Okies" predicament first hand. Finding them true to life, Zanuk became confident he could defend attacks that the film was pro-Communist. But Zanuck also watered down the novel's tone for the film, departing from the book in places, which some believe made story more saleable to the public. The film had an excellent cast, including Henry Fonda playing Tom Joad, Jane Darwell as Ma Joad, and John Carradine as the itinerant ex-preacher, Jim Casy. Production ran from early October 1939 through mid-November 1939. It premiered in New York City and Los Angeles in late January 1940 and to the wider public in mid- March 1940.
"The Joads step right out of the pages of the novel that has shocked millions!," said one of the studio's promotional pieces. At its release the film was very well received, but like the book, still had its detractors for its leftist political tone. Still, the movie helped to keep Steinbeck's book on the bestseller list. Many of the film's visual images were true to life and resembled the migrant worker photographs that had been taken by Depression-era photographers Dorothea Lange and Horace Bristow. Life magazine ran a story in January 1940 showing some of the similarities between the film sequences and actual photographs of migrants and their living conditions.
The movie won Oscars for best director, John Ford, and best actress, Jane Darwell as Ma Joad. It was also nominated in five other categories, including best actor for Henry Fonda's role, and best picture, losing that year toAlfred Hitchcock's Rebecca. Through the 1950s, The Grapes of Wrath was often named the greatest American film, though in subsequent years it was outranked by other films, such as Citizen Kane. But the American Film Institute still ranks it among the top 50 films of all time, and the Library of Congress has designated it for historic film preservation. VHS versions of the film were released in 1988 by a division of CBS/Fox, and again in 1998 by 20th Century Fox for its Studio Classic series. A DVD version with extra commentary and historical information was released in April 2004 by 20th Century Fox Entertainment.
In one 2002 film review, Roger Ebert wrote: "The novel and movie do last, I think, because they are founded in real experience and feeling. . . .The Grapes of Wrath shows half a nation with the economic rug pulled out from under it. The story, which seems to be about the resiliency and courage of 'the people,' is built on a foundation of fear: Fear of losing jobs, land, self-respect. To those who had felt that fear, who had gone hungry or been homeless, it would never become dated. . ."
Woody & Bruce
Among those who first saw the film in 1940 was Depression-era balladeer Woody Guthrie. In fact, Guthrie was so moved by what he saw at a New York screening that he wrote a long song about the film immediately after viewing it. Set to the tune of "John Hardy," Guthrie's "The Ballad of Tom Joad" summarizes the The Grapes of Wrath story in a 17-verse song. Folk singer Pete Seeger, who saw Guthrie that night, has described how Guthrie set about writing the song:
…He said, "Pete, do you know where I can get a typewriter?" I said, "I'm staying with someone who has one."
"Well, I got to write a ballad," he said. "I don't usually write ballads to order, but Victor [the record company] wants me to do a whole album of Dust Bowl songs, and they say they want one about Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath."
. . . He went along to the place where I was staying – six flights walking up – on East Fourth Street. The friend I was staying with [Jerry Oberwager] said, "Sure, you can use my typewriter."
Woody had a half-gallon jug of wine with him, sat down and started typing away. He would stand up every few seconds and test out a verse on his guitar and sit down and type some more. About one o'clock my friend and I got so sleepy we couldn't stay awake. In the morning we found Woody curled up on the floor under the table; the half gallon of wine was almost empty and the completed ballad was sitting near the typewriter….
Guthrie, in his own plain style, also wrote about seeing the film in one of his columns for the People's World, praising its directness: ". . . Shows the damn bankers men that broke us and the dust that choked us, and comes right out in plain old English and says what to do about it." Guthrie urged his readers to go see the film. ". . .You was the star in that picture," he wrote, meaning his everyman readers. "Go and see your own self and hear your own words . . ." Guthrie's song, meanwhile, "The Ballad of Tom Joad," was first recorded at RCA Studios, Camden, New Jersey, April1940 and released on an album titled Dust Bowl Balladsin July 1940. Later albums, also including the "Tom Joad" song, were released in 1964 and another in 1977 by RCA under the title, Woody Guthrie: A Legendary Performer. A CD version was released in 1988 and is also available in a newer CD version by Buddha Records, released in 2000, with some extras. But Woody Guthrie's song on The Grapes of Wrath tale wouldn't be the last such music.
In November 1995, rock star Bruce Springsteen, who had risen to fame in the 1980s with hard-driving rock 'n roll music that often captured working-class concerns and themes, released an album titled The Ghost of Tom Joad. This album, a more acoustic-styled collection of tunes rather his normal rock 'n roll fare, is supported by guitar, piano and harmonica. Its title track directly references the Grapes of Wrath's main character (see lyrics below). The album also features other songs that focus on the lives of steelworkers, illegal immigrants, and migrant farmers. Springsteen's single from the album, "The Ghost of Tom Joad" was later covered by the alternative metal rock group Rage Against the Machine on a November 1998 CD single and a 2001 album. In 2006, the song was covered again on a EP by Swedish indie/folk singer-songwriter and classical guitarist José González who is affiliated with the group Junip.
The Ghost Of Tom Joad
|Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest
No home no job no peace no rest.
|The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad.
|He pulls prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first
and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the city aqueduct.
|The highway is alive tonight
But where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad.
|Now Tom said, "Mom,wherever there's a cop
beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred
in the air
Look for me Mom, I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place
to stand
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."
|The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad.

Your Federal Student Aid PIN is the personal identification number you use when you visit certain U.S. Department of Education websites. When you type in your PIN at these sites, you are saying either "Yes, it's really me—please show me the personal information about me on this site" or "Please accept my PIN as my signature on this online form."
What is a PIN?
Where can I use my PIN?
When should I get a PIN?
How do I get a PIN?
Does my PIN expire?
What if I forgot my PIN?
What if my PIN was lost or stolen?
What is a PIN?
A PIN is (almost always) a four-digit number that is used in combination with your Social Security number, name, and date of birth to identify you as someone who has the right to access your own personal information on Federal Student Aid websites such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSASM) at www.fafsa.gov. If you are a parent of a dependent student, you will need your own PIN if you want to sign your child's FAFSA electronically. If you have more than one child attending college, you can use the same PIN to sign all of their applications.
Your PIN is used to sign legally binding documents electronically. It has the same legal status as a written signature. Don't give your PIN to anyone—not even to someone helping you fill out the FAFSA. Sharing your PIN could put you at risk of identity theft!
By the way, when you fill out your FAFSA, you'll create a password. The password is not the same as your PIN; you'll use the password only if you start your FAFSA, save it without finishing it, log out, and then want to log back in again later to finish it.
Where can I use my PIN?
That depends. When you first apply for your PIN, it is considered to be conditional until your information is verified with the Social Security Administration (SSA). You may sign your online FAFSA with it, but nothing else.
Once your information is verified with the SSA (one–three days from the date you apply), you will be able to use your PIN to access your personal information on any of these Federal Student Aid websites, depending on what you need to do:
What You Can Do at the Site
FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.gov
The National Student Loan Data System at www.nslds.ed.gov
Federal Direct Consolidation Loans Information Center at www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov
Agreement to Serve (ATS) at www.teach-ats.ed.gov
When should I get a PIN?
You, and your parent if you're a dependent student, can apply for a PIN any time. If you don't have one by the time you fill out your FAFSA, you will be prompted to apply for one when you reach the Sign and Submit page of the FAFSA site. However, if you think the Social Security Administration might have the wrong name or date of birth for you in its records, go to www.ssa.gov now to find out how to correct any errors. Your information must be correct before you can get a PIN and your FAFSA can be processed.
How do I get a PIN?
Go to www.pin.ed.gov and provide a few pieces of information such as your name, date of birth, Social Security number, and address.
You will be given the option of creating your own PIN or having the site create one for you. If the site creates one for you, you can choose to have your PIN displayed immediately on the screen. Otherwise, you can choose to receive an e-mail that will give you the link to a site where you can access your PIN. We won't send your PIN to you in the e-mail itself for security reasons. Instead, we'll ask you for some personal information to identify yourself before we show you your PIN.
You also can get a PIN while filling out the FAFSA, as described in "When should I get a PIN?" above.
Does my PIN expire?
Your PIN will expire if you do not use it for 18 months in a row. To prevent it from expiring, you must perform at least one of the following tasks during an 18-month period:
Use your PIN to access your personal information on any Federal Student Aid website.
If your PIN does expire after 18 months of nonuse, you must apply for a new PIN.
What if I forgot my PIN?
If you have lost or forgotten your PIN, you can request a duplicate PIN. Because you'll use your PIN for future FAFSAs and for many different actions regarding your student aid records, we recommend you change your PIN to one you can easily remember.
What if my PIN was lost or stolen?
If your PIN is lost or stolen, you must
request a new PIN by selecting Change My PIN on the PIN site,
contact Federal Student Aid's customer service center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243), or
disable your PIN so that no one can use it.

What is Shingles?
Shingles, also referred to by the medical term herpes zoster, is a reactivation of a previous viral infection that causes a painful, blistering rash in the specific area served by the nerve root involved. It is caused by the chickenpox (varicella zoster) virus and typically only affects a specific area of the skin.
Shingles can be extremely uncomfortable, and can cause you to feel surprisingly ill. However, it is usually not a serious condition and, if treated early, the risk of developing other complications can be reduced. More severe episodes of shingles can lead to a condition known as postherpectic neuralgia. Shingles typically affects older people or those with weak immune systems.

I believe Netflix still uses the Amazon data center. They could easily copy their stuff to a data center down-under and all the cross-pacific bandwidth issues go away. The content is fairly static (written only once) so making a copy in Australia isn't the problem.
Well, you know that any site with 'dirt' in the name is a just a front for vile slander, innuendo and pornography.
I know this because one of our congressmen said so!
Aren't there rules about being a false witness or whatever it is called when you accuse someone of a crime that you know they didn't commit?
What do you mean implicated? Mentos is clearly a corporate sponsor!
If the MAFIAA believed that copyright included a import/export right they would have never invented the region encoding on DVDs.
IN an attempt to bring this conversation back on topic - what impact does this have on the Costco/Casio decision a while back? IIRC Casio sued Costco for selling watches that were meant ( & priced) for the European market. Casio claimed (and won) that Costco was infringing because of a small logo on the udnerside of the watch.
Not sure any more if that was Copyright or Trademark but I thought it applied here.
So says an AC? Hypocrite much?
This will be an epic fail. Not only will they piss everyone off. They can't enforce it, either.
Sounds like they are describing a typical extravert. Maybe we should make that illegal?
"Seriously, I like my country and all, but our political landscape has become a cesspool of incompetence and corruption."
When you're pi$$ing into the wind it helps to tell yourself that you are not getting wet.

The tonsils are two areas of lymphoid tissue located on either side of the throat. The adenoids, also lymphoid tissue, are located higher and further back, behind the palate, where the nasal passages connect with the throat. The adenoids are not visible through the mouth.
Tonsils and adenoids are collections of lymphoid tissue that help the body fight infection. They trap bacteria and viruses entering through the throat and produce antibodies. The tonsils are located on both sides of the back of the throat. The adenoids are located higher and further back, where the nasal passages connect with the throat. The tonsils are visible through the mouth, but the adenoids are not.
Some preschool and adolescent children have relatively large tonsils and adenoids that are not due to any problem. However, tonsils and adenoids can become enlarged because, for example, they become infected with bacteria that cause pharyngitis. When enlarged, tonsils sometimes interfere with breathing or swallowing, and adenoids may block the nose. Usually, tonsils and adenoids return to normal size once the infection is over. Sometimes they remain enlarged, particularly in children who have had frequent or chronic infections. Although extremely rare, cancer sometimes causes enlarged tonsils or adenoids in children.
Most enlarged tonsils and adenoids cause no symptoms. However, children with enlarged tonsils or adenoids may have a sore throat and discomfort or pain during swallowing. Enlarged adenoids can give the voice a pinched nose quality and change the shape of the palate and the position of the teeth.
Enlarged tonsils and adenoids are considered a problem when they cause more serious problems such as the following:
To determine whether the cause is an infection, doctors determine how many episodes of sore throat children have had during the past 1 to 3 years. This information is more helpful than the size of the tonsils alone. Enlarged tonsils are more likely to be the result of a disorder in children who have had frequent episodes of sore throat. Very large tonsils may be normal, and chronically infected tonsils may be normal-sized. Doctors also look for redness of the tonsils, enlargement of lymph nodes at the jaw and in the neck, and the effect of the tonsils on breathing.
Obstructive sleep apnea is suspected when parents report that the child stops breathing frequently during sleep. Doctors may also recommend polysomnography. For this test, oxygen levels in the blood are measured and the child is observed while sleeping.
Doctors may give antibiotics if they think the cause may be a bacterial infection. If antibiotics are not effective or if doctors think antibiotics will not be useful, doctors may recommend surgical removal of the tonsils and adenoids (tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy).
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy used to be very common operations for children in the United States. But they are much less common now that doctors are more aware of which children benefit from the operation. Children who benefit from surgery include those with the following:
Doctors may recommend adenoidectomy alone for the following:
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy do not seem to decrease the frequency or severity of colds or cough.
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are usually done on an outpatient basis. These operations should be done at least 3 weeks after any infection has cleared. The surgical complication rate is low, but postoperative pain and difficulty swallowing may last up to a week. Bleeding is a less common complication but may occur anytime from the first day of surgery to the tenth day after surgery.
