A bone tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within a bone. A bone tumor may be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign ).
Tumor - bone; Bone cancer; Primary bone tumor; Secondary bone tumor
The cause of bone tumors is unknown. They often occur in areas of the bone that grow rapidly. Possible causes include:
In most cases, no specific cause is found.
Osteochondromas are the most common noncancerous (benign) bone tumors, and occur most often in people between the ages of 10 and 20.
Cancers that start in the bones are referred to as primary bone tumors. Cancers that start in another part of the body (such as the breast, lungs, or colon) are called secondary or metastatic bone tumors. They behave very differently from primary bone tumors. Multiple myeloma often affects or involves the bone, but is not considered a primary bone tumor.
Cancerous (malignant) bone tumors include:
The cancers that most often spread to the bone are cancers of the:
These forms of cancer usually affect older people.
Bone cancer is more common in persons who have a family history of cancers.
Symptoms of bone tumor may include any of the following:
Some benign tumors have no symptoms.
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam. Tests that may be done include:
This disease may also affect the results of the following tests:
Some benign bone tumors go away on their own and do not need treatment. Your doctor will closely monitor you. You will likely need regular imaging tests, such as x-rays, to see if the tumor shrinks or grows.
Surgery may be needed to remove the tumor in some cases.
Treatment for cancerous bone tumors that have spread from other parts of the body depends on where the cancer started. Radiation therapy may be given to prevent fractures or to relieve pain.
Tumors that start in the bone are rare. After biopsy, a combination of chemotherapy and surgery is usually necessary. Radiation therapy may be needed before or after surgery.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
How well you do depends on the type of bone tumor.
Outcome is expected to be good for people with noncancerous (benign) tumors. But some benign bone tumors can turn into cancer.
Most patients with cancerous bone tumors that have not spread can achieve a cure. The cure rate depends on the type of cancer, location, size, and other factors. Talk to your doctor about your particular cancer.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of a bone tumor.

Professor discusses Constitutional myths
Sunday, April 21, 2013
By LORRAINE MORONG A "Changing of the Guard" within the Recreation Committee has taken place with Dick Houghton's resignation from that committee.
"The Constitution doesn't prevent violations -- it just gives you a place to go" to seek justice, and "the rights in the Constitution are available to every person," according to Constitution Law Professor Emeritus at the University of New Hampshire School of Law Richard Hesse. Hesse was speaking to the Madbury Historical Society on April 9.
The underlying concept for requiring religious practice was the perceived need to have a moral underpining to the government -- a holdover from European thought.
The year 1787 was another transitional time, when the colonies became independent -- not only from England but from one another. Each colony had to pull together some form of "state" government, into which they carried their religious leanings. Thirteen colonies, thirteen different forms of government. When confederation didn't work, the national government came in to being, declaring its authority over the states -- and no provision was made for any religion.
This "wall of separation" was foreseen by Jefferson, who said that religious influence distorts government; Roger Williams, who said that government distorts religion; and James Madison who thought that requiring government to be neutral accommodates best.
Three pistol permits were signed, following recommendation of the Police Chief, and two elderly tax exemptions. |

Magneti Marelli Reduces Design and Simulation Time Using Mentor Graphics SystemVision for Safety Function Simulation
WILSONVILLE, Ore. Oct 6, 2005 -Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) announced today that international automotive leader Magneti Marelli Powertrain S.p.A. has integrated Mentor Graphics{reg} tools, including the newly launched SystemVision™ mixed-signal modeling and simulation environment, into its application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) development flow to achieve a 30 percent reduction in design and simulation time.
"Magneti Marelli's Powertrain Division reduced development time for its engine control custom design flow by 30 percent using SystemVision and ModelSim, and achieved a full running component in the first release," said Edoardo Martelli, methodology manager of R&D Hardware Development at Magneti Marelli.
Magneti Marelli is using the multi-model, multi-domain software, SystemVision, for mechatronic system simulation, including safety function simulation, in order to design and simulate the core of a new digital ASIC. SystemVision provides a virtual lab, which supports industry-standard languages VHDL-AMS, SPICE and C, for creating and analyzing analog, digital, and mixed-signal systems.
Magneti Marelli is also using Mentor Graphics products HDL Designer™ for design entry and ModelSim{reg} for digital simulation. These tools facilitate ASIC development across distributed design teams and enable practical design reuse through rapid understanding and easy deployment of intellectual property (IP). Magneti Marelli imports the VHDL files created by HDL Designer into SystemVision. The Mentor Graphics solution will be deployed in the Magneti Marelli Powertrain research and development site in Venaria Reale near Torino (northern Italy). This site designs and develops integrated circuits (ICs) for specific automotive applications; it also designs electronic control units (ECUs) and semi-automatic transmission controls.
The most important advantages with SystemVision are:
- Drag and drop feature for importing VHDL code from HDL Designer
- Extensive use of internal library of VHDL-AMS and Spice models
- Co-simulation feature between SystemVision and ModelSim
- Simulation of the complete system before the prototype
- Improved reliability and robustness

In March 2013, he was honored to receive the Sonny Hirsch Excellence in Sports Broadcasting Award at the Reid & Fiorentino Call of the Game Dinner. (Eric Reid and Tony Fiorentino, charity dinner organizers.)
Dave was born and raised in Easton, Pa. He has been a resident of Palm Beach County since 1982 and lives there with his wife Josee and their daughter Madison. He also has 5 sons and 11 grandchildren.
2014 marks Miami native Glenn Geffner's seventh season as a member of the Marlins radio broadcast team, his 18th season in the Major Leagues and his 23rd year in professional baseball as a broadcaster and front office executive.
Geffner, who owns the rare distinction of having done baseball play-by-play at every level--from college, to Single-A, Double-A, Triple-A, and the Major Leagues-called games for the Boston Red Sox and the San Diego Padres prior to his 2008 return to South Florida.
Over the years, he has shared the booth with a pair of Hall of Fame broadcasters, 2011 Ford C. Frick Award winner Dave Van Horne with the Marlins and 2005 honoree Jerry Coleman with the Padres. In Boston, Glenn worked alongside 2013 Frick Award finalist Joe Castiglione.
Geffner began his baseball career as the voice of the Rochester Red Wings of the Triple-A International League. His television work includes play-by-play for the New England Sports Network's coverage of Red Sox Minor League baseball during his time in Boston as well as serving as host and reporter for a variety of Red Sox and Padres programming during 11 seasons with those clubs.
He has two World Series championship rings (Boston, 2004 and 2007) and a National League championship ring (San Diego, 1998).
Geffner is a graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. It was at Northwestern where he began his broadcasting career, calling Big Ten baseball, football and basketball for the Wildcats.
Glenn and his wife Christine reside in Weston with sons Corey and Gregg and their daughter Caroline.
Ramírez has been the Spanish "Voice of the Marlins" since the birth of the franchise in 1993. He has called all of the Club's five no-hitters by Al Leiter (1996), Kevin Brown (1997), A.J. Burnett (2001), Anibal Sanchez (2006) and Henderson Alvarez (2013) as well as the 1997 and 2003 championship seasons.
As one of the most recognizable voices in sports broadcasting, Ramírez was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on August 5, 2001 as the Ford C. Frick Award winner, a tribute presented each year by the National Baseball Hall of Fame to a broadcaster for "major contributions to the game of baseball."
For more than 35 years, he has been the play-by-play voice of professional baseball in Puerto Rico, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Ramírez's baseball coverage on CMQ Radio in Habana, Cuba (1953-61), was highly regarded among journalists in Latin America. Felo has been the voice of, all but nine, Caribbean World Series since 1949.
A true pioneer of baseball broadcasting in his native Cuba, Ramírez was the first Hispanic broadcaster to have his narration included in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, with his call of Hank Aaron's 715th home run, his call of Roberto Clemente's 3000th hit and Don Larsen's perfect game during Game 5 of the 1956 World Series.
He has lent his voice to more than 32 World Series and All-Star Games, and was recognized by former Commissioner Bowie Kuhn in 1980 for his extensive contribution to promoting baseball in Latin America from the broadcast booth.
Felo Ramírez is also a member of the Puerto Rican National Sports Museum (class of 2004). A life-size statue of Felo was erected during the inaugural event of the National Sports Museum in Guaynabo, PR, commemorating his valuable contributions to the game of baseball. In 2010, Felo was inducted as an honoree member of the Latin American Hall of Fame in the Dominican Republican.
Rafael Ramírez Arias resides in Miami, FL.

Resourcefulness is key to Shigeru Ban's practice. He's well known for finding structural uses for fugitive materials, including paper and cardboard. And he takes the same spirit of ingenuity to planning and designing disaster-relief housing. Several disaster-relief projects by Ban, Hon. FAIA, came in for specific citations from the jury that awarded him the 2014 Pritzker Architecture Prize.
The most recent of these, the Cardboard Cathedral, built in 2013, gave the community of Christchurch, New Zealand, a new symbol of strength following the 2011 earthquake that destroyed the city's beloved 19th-century Anglican church. Other disasters have called for Shigeru Ban Architects to provide immediate housing for victims. The Paper Log House relief projects, designed for Japan, Turkey, and India—following earthquakes in 1995, 1999, and 2001, respectively—make use of water-resistant paper tubes. Ban's designs for these disaster-relief projects also employed such materials as beer crates, area timber, and even rubble to provide immediate shelter for victims.
Paper isn't the only material Ban uses for disaster-relief projects; in Onagawa, Japan, for example, the architect used shipping containers to house victims of the 2011 earthquake living in an area without much flat land. Sometimes, Ban's materials can be as simple as a gesture: Using paper tubes and canvas, Ban partitioned the area inside evacuation facilities where victims of the 2011 earthquake in Japan sought shelter—providing a sense of stability and shelter in a time of great need.
A sample of 12 of Ban's most noteworthy disaster-relief projects follows:

Thursday, April 25, 2013
BOSTON (AP) — The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings acknowledged to the FBI his role in the attacks but did so before he was advised of his constitutional rights to keep quiet and seek a lawyer, officials said Wednesday.
Tamerlan, whom authorities have described as the driving force behind the plot, was killed in a shootout with police. Dzhokhar is recovering in a hospital from injuries sustained during a getaway attempt. Authorities had previously said Dzhokhar exchanged gunfire with them for more than an hour Friday night before they captured him inside a boat covered by a tarp in a suburban Boston neighborhood backyard. But two U.S. officials said Wednesday that he was unarmed when captured, raising questions about the gunfire and how he was injured. More than 4,000 mourners at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology paid tribute to a campus police officer who authorities say was gunned down by the bombing suspects. Among the speakers in Cambridge, just outside Boston, was Vice President Joe Biden, who condemned the bombing suspects as "two twisted, perverted, cowardly, knockoff jihadis."
Investigators have said the brothers appeared to have been radicalized through jihadist materials on the Internet and have found no evidence tying them to a terrorist group.
An FBI affidavit said one of the brothers told a carjacking victim during their getaway attempt, "Did you hear about the Boston explosion? I did that."
Dzhokhar's public defender had no comment on the matter Wednesday. His father has called him a "true angel," and an aunt has insisted he's not guilty.
The line of mourners stretched for a half-mile. They had to make their way through tight security, including metal detectors and bomb-sniffing dogs.
"I don't think there's going to be a sense of normalcy for a while," Tom Champoux, who works nearby, said as he pointed to the boarded-up windows. "There are scars here that will be with us for a long time." |

A renal perfusion scintiscan is a nuclear medicine test that uses a small amount of a radioactive substance to create an image of the kidneys.
Renal perfusion scintigraphy; Radionuclide renal perfusion scan; Perfusion scintiscan - renal; Scintiscan - renal perfusion
You will be asked to take a blood pressure medicine called an ACE inhibitor. The drug may be taken by mouth, or given through a vein (IV). The medicine increases the accuracy of the test.
You lie on the scanner table shortly after taking the medicine. The health care provider will inject a small amount of radioactive material (radioisotope) into one of your veins. Images of your kidneys are taken as the radioactive material flows through the arteries in the area. It is very important to remain still for the entire test. The scan takes about 30 minutes.
About 10 minutes after you receive the radioactive material, you will be given a a diuretic ("water pill") through a vein. This medicine also increases the test's accuracy.
You can return to normal activities immediately after the test. You should drink plenty of fluids to help remove the radioactive material from your body.
You will be asked to drink plenty of water before the test.
If you are currently taking an ACE inhibitor for high blood pressure , you may be asked to stop taking your medication before the examination. Always consult with your health care provider before stopping any medication.
You may be asked to wear a hospital gown. Remove all jewelry and metallic objects before the scan.
You may feel a small amount of pain when the needle is inserted.
You must remain still during the scan. You will be instructed by the technologist when to change positions.
There may be some discomfort as your bladder fills with urine during the examination. Inform the technologist if you must urinate before the completion of the scan.
The test evaluates blood flow to the kidneys. It is used to diagnose narrowing of the arteries that supply the kidneys, a condition called renal artery stenosis. Significant renal artery stenosis may be a cause of high blood pressure and kidney problems.
Blood flow to the kidneys appears normal.
Abnormal findings on the scan may be a sign of renal artery stenosis. This condition may be confirmed by doing a similar study that does not involve the use of an ACE inhibitor.
If you are pregnant or nursing, your health care provider may want to postpone the test to prevent exposing the baby to the medications and radioisotopes used. There are certain risks involved with ACE inhibitors. Pregnant women should not take such medicines.
The amount of radioactivity in the injection is very small, and virtually all activity is gone from the body within 24 hours.
Reactions to the materials used during this test are rare, but may include rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis .
Risks of a needle stick are slight but include infection and bleeding.
The accuracy of this test may be reduced in persons with pre-existing kidney disease. Talk to your health care provider to determine if this test is appropriate for you. Alternatives to this test are an MRI or CT angiogram.

Stephen C. Rubin, MD
Ultima Vez Modificado: 1 de noviembre del 2001
I am a 48-year-old ovarian cancer survivor. It is my fifth year of no recurrences. I have been having elevated CA 125 results. All diagnostic imaging comes back negative. My doctor wants me to start taking Tamoxifen, to lower the CA 125. I am worried that it is too risky and has too many side effects. Please help me. I am feeling to good to go through all of that again.
Thank you
Stephen C. Rubin, MD, Professor and Chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
In your situation, a persistently elevated CA 125, there may be a chance that the cancer has begun to become active, regardless of the results of your diagnostic imaging. Tamoxifen is sometimes used in this setting in patients who are feeling well, as it may possibly delay tumor progression and the onset of symptoms. Other management options could include further observation without treatment, exploratory surgery to assess tumor status, or going back on to chemotherapy. Tamoxifen is generally a very well tolerated drug (especially compared to chemotherapy), and is certainly a reasonable option.
Dec 28, 2012 - Among asymptomatic women, high-risk categories for predicting ovarian cancer risk can be identified using CA125, transvaginal ultrasonography, or both, providing guidance for clinical decisions regarding need for surgery in these women, according to research published in the January issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

I embroidered all the the words by hand onto a giant piece of solid fabric so that it would be portable. I was working on them during our road trip to Bryce Canyon last fall, furiously stitching so that I could meet my deadline. Then I cut up the words and created the individual blocks I loved choosing each of my items I'm grateful for. See where it says tomatoes in the upper left corner?
Hope all celebrating in the states have a happy Thanksgiving. It's one of my favorite holidays. We are hosting lots of extended family members at our house tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. For one thing, it's a good incentive to clear all my sewing junk off the table. I'm not feeling too stressed thanks to the many food contributions by those who are coming and especially for my husband's desire to be in charge of the turkey. (YES!) He has been excited for weeks and takes this job very seriously. He's been preparing the brine and my house smells SO good as I sit here typing.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Maerad and Hem are out riding Imi and Hoolahoop (their respective horses). The sky is blue, and there are only a few tiny white fluffs of cloud in the sky. There is a gentle breeze blowing through the scented air, as they round a bend in the road and look uppon the dusty ruins of Pellinor.

Maerad gasps. "Oh Hem, how could you! We have come ALL this way, through thick and thin, light and dark, rain and sunsine, to bring the sacred Cucumber Sandwiches to Cadvan, and now, NOW you chose to find out that you have dropped them!!!!!!!!!!!! We shall have to journey all the way back! NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" Mearad cries in exasperaton.
Hem smile, jumps off of his horse, and picks up the cucumber sandwiches off the ground.
"Good thing we wrapped them up, eh Maerad!"
February 18th, 2006, 07:35 AM #5
'Oh...er...right...'says a rather surprised Maerad. 'Well, you know, i wasn't actually going to go all the way back just to get the sandwiches! I could always conjur up a new one!'
'Yes, sister, but then the Hulls would have felt us!'
'Yes yes, whatever.' Maerad replied with a dismissive comment and a wave of her hand.
'Oh!Oh! I see light!' Hem jumped up and down at the flickering light in the distance. 'I bet it's Cadvan! Let's see what he's up to...'

Hem takes Hoolahoop into a canter, and they ride speedily into Pellinor, drawing closer and closer to the light.
When they reach it, they realise it is not Cadvan, but that the light is pouring out of a hole in the ground.
Hem looks at Maerad.. "I wonder whats down that hole?"
Maerad looks worried.. "I wonder where Cadvan is?"
February 18th, 2006, 12:09 PM #7
The light source flickered and suddenly went out, leaving Hem and Hulahoop in complete darkness, a long ride away from Maerad.
Suddenly, he felt a hand grab his ankles.
'Arrgh!' as he screamed, he felt himself tumble down the hole of where the light had previous came from...
February 18th, 2006, 01:22 PM #8
he landed upon a dry, barren floor, (thankful that the drop was short) and as his eyes adjusted to the darkness that enveloped him, he heard something moving around him, swirling, as if in a mad rage...

February 18th, 2006, 10:41 PM #11
He couldn't help himself from jigging, Mama Cass was blaring out of a nearby speaker, a strange device that confused Hem even more than the jig to to mystical words "You've got to MAKE YOUR OWN KIND OF MUUUUUUUUSIC! SING YOUR OWN SPECIAL SONG!"..
The enchanted Mama Cass played louder and louder until Hem could stand it no longer and began pleading for mercy. The music suddenly cut out and Hem collasped, completely exhuasted, a sinister voice issued from the shadows to his left "Hand over the cucumber sandwiches brothah, and no one gets hurt!" it said.
Suddenly a light snapped on to reveal a Cadvan tied up in the corner and a strange man standing over him ......
(i think we exhuasted the possiblities of the first story and it had become too long, so, we started this one )

Ham, in his panic and fear, cried out "Maerad, stay away!!!!!! They've... they've tied up Cadvan!!!!!!"
Unfortunately, once Maerad had hear Hems cry as he fell down the hole, she had ran towards the hole, and was not standing, peering down at him.
"Oh... HEM!!!!!" she cried, leaning forwards, and she toppled down the hole, only to land on top of Hem.
Hem cried "...
February 19th, 2006, 09:57 AM #13
"Ouch!! I thought i told you not to come too close?" He questioned Maerad out loud, and then whispering in her ear, "We have got to help Cadvan! This is no mere chance, look at the ropes that bind Cadvan, they glitter strangely!"

"OH NO!!!!!!!" whispers Maerad.
"Those aren't ordinary ropes - they are the LORD OF ALL DARKNESS POWER BINDING GLISTENING ROPES!" (this isn't ordinary food, this is M+S, organic free-range high-quality cuisine...)
"The only way to get rid of the ropes is to make the binder sing!!!" cries Maerad.
February 19th, 2006, 10:08 AM #15
"Who believes that they have the authority to tie someone up and use that unfortunate soul as a snare, as bait? For if it is you, you insufferable cretin, what makes you think that you are so special?" Gathering her strength from the fall Maerad proclaimed and grasping the figure's clothes, dragged him forward so that the meagre light from the moon shone down the hole onto the mans cragged face. Upon seeing his face, Maerad and Hem gasped as one...

Now what if I were to say he went on a drug bust with Ryan Leaf? Is that too soon?
I have a litmus test for determining if a joke is too soon. You know how you can get a crappy song stuck in your head? Well, I think that the only way to get that song out of your head is by replacing it with a worse song. Once that worse song is in your head, the old one doesn't stick anymore.
So, I think the EJ story is really the only story that is too soon, because I can't get that one out of my head, until EJ is playing again and something bad happens.

October 7, 2008 - For Immediate Release
ELKHART, Indiana -- Crown Audio proudly announces that Gerald Stanley, the company's Senior Vice President of Research, has just been selected by the Audio Engineering Society's awards committee and board of governors to receive the distinguished AES Fellowship Award in 2008.
According to AES Secretary Han Tendeloo, Stanley's award for "significant contributions to power amplifier design and electronic networking of communications systems" will be presented in San Francisco next October during the 125th AES Convention, which also marks the Society's 60th anniversary year.
"I was surprised and humbled to receive the offer to become an AES Fellow not having been highly absorbed in regular Society activities," notes Stanley. "There have been a number of technical presentations made to the local chapters over a period of many years and an occasional conference paper, but not the level of AES involvement that is typical of a number of my 'Fellow' friends. And although awards presentations are often associated with doing something difficult or heroic, I consider myself fortunate to soon be recognized for simply doing what I've always considered fun."
Originally joining Crown in 1964 as a tape recorder line technician, draftsman, and amplifier design engineer, Stanley is today widely considered pro audio's foremost authority in power amplifier design. Highly respected for his work on the original DC 300 back in 1967, Stanley has been responsible for many of Crown's most successful products over the years, including the Macro-Tech, K, CTs and I-Tech Series. During his prolific 43-year tenure with Crown, he has also been integral in the design of a wide array of other products, including tape recorders, signal processors, magnetic resonance gradient amplifiers (for MRI machines), and semiconductor and audio test equipment, including the original TEF analyzers.
As an AES Fellow, Stanley joins a select list of honored industry luminaries, including Soundcraft's Graham Blyth (awarded in 2007), JBL Professional's Doug Button and Mark Gander, Harman/Becker Automotive Systems' Don Keele and Richard Small, and Harman Consumer Group's Ulrich Horbach (formerly with Studer), David Griesinger (of Lexicon fame), and Floyd Toole (now retired).
Crown is a unit of Harman International Industries, Incorporated (www.harman.com).
Harman International designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of audio and infotainment products for the automotive, consumer and professional markets, and maintains a strong presence in the Americas, Europe and Asia, employing more than 11,000 people worldwide. The Harman International family of brands includes AKG®, Audioaccess®, Becker®, BSS®, Crown®, dbx®, DigiTech®, Harman Kardon®, Infinity®, JBL®, Lexicon®, Mark Levinson®, Revel®, QNX®, Soundcraft® and Studer®. Harman International's stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NYSE: HAR."

The FOIA has changed considerable over the last 15 years. And frankly it is more difficult now to use.
Main documents obtained on the subject of the UFO are usually, but not always censored. Sometimes the document can be a general collection document (like the state department) and have numerous subjects, which are normally censored if you have made a specific request for a certain subject. This is done to limited the amount of information released, thus restrict any further insight which maybe gained via further enquirers.
The distribution list can be very telling. In the UFO subject, it is worth following up some of the agencies or departments on the list. Filing requests asking for documents from certain departments can yield information. It is best to narrow down the requests until you find the recipient of the document in question. Then it begs the question.....why would they have the document in the first place? Also did they receive any others? Filing a request for those documents also can yield information.
Freedom of Information Act: The Double Edge Sword
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a federal freedom of information law that allows for the full or partial disclosure of previously unreleased information and documents controlled by the United States government. The Act defines agency records subject to disclosure, outlines mandatory disclosure procedures and grants nine exemptions to the statute. It was originally enacted by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 4, 1966 as 5 U.S.C. § 552 of Pub.L. 89-554 which enacted Title 5 of the United States Code, and went into effect the following year.
It has received many amendments since it's original creation, and each federal agency has enacted its own interpretation and regulations and incorporated these into the FOIA.
Tricks of the Trade
There is a number of "tricks" or "intelligence techniques" which can be used by those who implement these regulatory procedures, in order to restrict your access to information, especially if the information is of political nature, intelligence nature or does not follow the current public's perception of what those in power wish you to have.
One of the primary concerns, of any government body to a FOIA request is the "public's reaction" to any information that is deemed releasable. They do not want a "public headache" which may result in the reaction to the releasable documents.
A number of activities the intelligence services as well as other government departments deliberately and/or systematic use in order to make your FOIA request more difficult to obtain any useful documentation:
1. Deny any records exist.
2. Cannot confirm or deny any records exist.
3. Provide proof that the documents you seek exist in order for the authorities to find the records.
4. Provide copies of the documents you wish to obtain, so they can locate the documents you wish declassified.
5. Charge outlandish fees for unresponsive requests.
6. Provide releasable documents, which are almost completely censored
7. Very long period of time passes before they respond to your request for documents, then deny any documents exist.
8. Provide documentation which is already available in the public arena.
9. Providing information of such a low grade is wasn't worth the effort of the FOIA request.
10. Provided rehashed material, and nothing new is released.
11. Providing almost unreadable documentation stating it is the "best copy available"
12. Sending your FOIA request to the wrong department or agency in order to obtain a "no records" exist response.
13. Provide a blanket response to a FOIA on a particular subject.
14. State they never received your FOIA request.
15. Obtain more specific information out of the requester that any information they provide you via the FOIA.
16. Confirming the records exist, but cannot locate the source of the documents you requested.
17. Move the documents so they are under the preview of a "non governmental" organization, thus not subject to the FOIA.
18. Documents releasable under one agencies regulations, but not another, even though it is the same information.
19. State they have sent copies to you of documents which have been declassified, but they never arrive.
20. Send a one line response, "no records exist".
21. Provide you with a "Fact Sheet" as a response to a FOIA request, even though this "Fact Sheet" is available freely without a FOIA request.
22. Use technical jargon of such complexity, as not to understand the nature of the response, since it involves detailed understanding of that particular agency.
23. Provide you with important documents, but providing a counter response to dumb down the contents of the documents they have provide you.
All the aforementioned has over a period of time happen to me during my FOIA requests.
One final point. I have noted also, that if there is a certain subject or event gets publicity or a lot of FOIA requests are made to a particular agency regarding these matters, they soon develop a standard response and gets you know where, which in turn can closes doors. Hence obtain all you can from any documents and leads the documents can provide, before going public, complete your research as best you can. When filing a FOIA request be specific as possible, about a event or subject, generalization are usually ineffective. Also some responses on a certain subject may get different replies depending on whom the requester is, this is another problem one faces.

MMA Weekly – There's an old ideology in sports that you shouldn't engage in sex for a certain amount of time leading up to competition. Some boxers say they abstain from any sex for six weeks leading up to a contest, and the mythology has been studied by different doctors with some supporting the claim and other shooting it down as not backed up by biological fact. For her part, Rousey goes in the opposite direction because she's a woman. "For girls, it raises your testosterone, so I try to have as much sex as possible before I fight, actually. Not with like everybody. I don't put out like a Craigslist ad or anything, but if I got a steady I'm going to be like 'yo, fight time's coming up,'" Rousey said with a laugh.
Since Ronda Rousey came across my cultural radar a couple of weeks ago, I've kind of gone back & forth on her. She's like the chameleon Seinfeld dated. In one picture she looks like Lindsay Vonn and the next she looks like Charlize Theron in "Monster." Also, as much as I've got a thing for hot women who kick ass, in my Spank Bank's personal checking account, she suffers from an unfair comparison to Gina Carano, who looks amazing whether she's in a cocktail dress or covered in sweat, pus and menstrual blood in the octagon. But suffice to say Ronda went way, way up in my rankings after this. A (sometimes) dime piece who admits she loves getting banged repeatedly then beating the snot out of another girl is about the sexiest thing in the world. Now I just need to fund a study to show that lots of sex with rapidly-aging, drunken, out-of-shape couch potatoes is like a natural steroid and I'm in. @JerryThornton1

School-age child development describes the expected physical, emotional, and mental abilities of children ages 6 - 12.
School-age children usually have smooth and strong motor skills. However, their coordination (especially eye-hand), endurance, balance, and physical abilities vary.
Fine motor skills may also vary widely. These skills can affect a child's ability to write neatly, dress appropriately, and perform certain chores, such as making beds or doing dishes.
There will be big differences in height, weight, and build among children of this age range. It is important to remember that genetic background, as well as nutrition and exercise, may affect a child's growth.
A sense of body image begins developing around age 6. Sedentary habits in school-aged children are linked to a risk of obesity and heart disease in adults. Children in this age group should get 1 hour of physical activity per day.
There can also be a big difference in the age at which children begin to develop secondary sexual characteristics. For girls, secondary sex characteristics include:
For boys, they include:
SCHOOLBy age 5, most children are ready to start learning in a school setting. The first few years focus on learning the fundamentals.
In 3rd grade, the focus becomes more complex. Reading becomes more about the content than identifying letters and words.
An ability to pay attention is important for success both at school and at home. A 6-year-old should be able to focus on a task for at least 15 minutes. By age 9, a child should be able to focus attention for about an hour.It is important for the child to learn how to deal with failure or frustration without losing self-esteem. There are many causes of school failure including: learning disabilities such a reading disability, stressors such as bulling and mental health issues such as anxiety or depression. If you suspect any of these causes, talk to your child's teacher or health care provider.
Early school-age children should be able to use simple, but complete sentences that average five to seven words. As the child goes through the elementary school years, grammar and pronunciation become normal. Children use more complex sentences as they grow.
Language delays may be due to hearing or intelligence problems. In addition, children who are unable to express themselves well may be more likely to have aggressive behavior or temper tantrums.
A 6-year-old child normally can follow a series of three commands in a row. By age 10, most children can follow five commands in a row. Children who have a problem in this area may try to cover it up with backtalk or clowning around. They will rarely ask for help because they are afraid of being teased.
Frequent physical complaints (such as sore throats, tummy aches, arm or leg pain) may simply be due to a child's increased body awareness. Although there is often no physical evidence for such complaints, the complaints should be investigated to rule out possible health conditions, and to assure the child that the parent is concerned about his or her well-being.
Peer acceptance becomes more important during the school-age years. Children may take part in certain behaviors to be part of "the group." Talking about these behaviors with your child will allow the child to feel accepted in the group, without crossing the boundaries of the family's behavior standards.
Friendships at this age tend to be mainly with members of the same sex. In fact, younger school-age children often talk about members of the opposite sex as being "strange" or "awful." Children become less negative about the opposite sex as they get closer to adolescence.
Lying, cheating, and stealing are all examples of behaviors that school-age children may "try on" as they learn how to negotiate the expectations and rules placed on them by family, friends, school, and society. Parents should deal with these behaviors privately (so that the child's friends don't tease them). Parents should show forgiveness, and punish in a way that is related to the behavior.
It is important for the child to learn how to deal with failure or frustration without losing self-esteem.
Safety is important for school-age children.
