Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a genetic disorder in which the body fails to respond to parathyroid hormone .
A related condition is hypoparathyroidism , in which the body does not make enough parathyroid hormone.
Albright hereditary osteodystrophy; Types 1A and 1B pseudohypoparathyroidism
The parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH helps control calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels in the blood and bone.
If you have pseudohypoparathyroidism, your body produces the right amount of PTH, but is "resistant" to its effect. This causes low blood calcium levels and high blood phosphate levels.
Pseudohypoparathyroidism is caused by abnormal genes. There are different types of pseudohypoparathyroidism. All forms are rare.
Symptoms are related to a low level of calcium and include:
Persons with Albright hereditary osteodystrophy may have the following symptoms:
Blood tests will be done to check calcium, phosphorus , and PTH levels. You may also need urine tests.
Other tests may include:
Your doctor will recommend calcium and vitamin D supplements to maintain a proper calcium level. If the blood phosphate level is high, you may need to follow a low-phosphorus diet or take medicines called phosphate binders (such as calcium carbonate or calcium acetate).
Low blood calcium in pseudohypoparathyroidism is usually milder than in other forms of hypoparathyroidism.
People with type Ia pseudohypoparathyroidism are more likely to have other endocrine system problems (such as hypothyroidism and hypogonadism ).
Pseudohypoparathyroidism may be connected to other hormone problems, resulting in:
Call your health care provider if you or your child has any symptoms of a low calcium level or pseudohypoparathyroidism.

Around the Diabetes Blogosphere: 2013 Kickoff Edition
Hard to believe we're a month into 2013, already!
We're pleased to continue with the monthly recap of fave D-blog posts from around the Diabetes Online Community (DOC) we started back in 2011. This year, we look forward to highlighting even more awesome posts that shouldn't oughta be missed. As always, we'd love to hear from you re: any others you think are worth mentioning.
Here's a sampling of what caught our eye in January…

TheMadDoctor wrote:You idiot, she's like twelve. If your hands were blistering, would you be throwing them around at someone?
NallCalmer wrote:you forget that she's also not human and has superhuman durability
NallCalmer wrote:burns never stopped them before.
TheMadDoctor wrote:Give me one good episode, where a burn didn't stop her. You are also right about the guilt. Bell is particullarly lonely, and because of this wen't bezerk in a mindless rage. But still, even if she wasn't guiltly. Don't you think Third Degree burns would immobilize her?
NallCalmer wrote:
...then again, anything could happen in this comic if Bleedman allows it right?
Sigment Kurosai wrote:You know, I'm not sure if this has ever been discussed
Thellos wrote:Mayhaps we can see what everyone else is doing now, yes?
Darkingdomhearts wrote:I actually want to see a berserk full metal Samantha crashing back into the battle again
Blood Lord wrote: You are taking a cartoon show that was meant for little kids, and adding a bit more levels of maturity to it. You are going to want to create drama, excitement, worry, pain, happiness, etc. You can get that with some invincible ass mother fucker.
TheMadDoctor wrote:And they weren't quite relevant. If this was a cartoon. Her hands were be black. But no. The more mature atmosphere requires more realistic burns. Such as the second or even third degree burns she received. You just seem to think that just because Blossom is an unnatural superhuman being means she can take powerful burns. She's not immune to pain. You also seem to underestimate Bell's powers.
BeeAre wrote:Darkingdomhearts wrote:I actually want to see a berserk full metal Samantha crashing back into the battle again
>8] Do you now?
NallCalmer wrote: all powerful beings and do show weaknesses. however, i wouldn't believe for them to be THAT weak to not recover from such said burned injuries. you think too little of them. they can suffer as other humans, but i doubt that they're limits are quite on par w/ ours.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by prostate cells.
The PSA test is done to help diagnose and follow prostate cancer in men.
Prostate-specific antigen; Prostate cancer screening test
A blood sample is needed.
Make sure your doctor knows all the medicines you are taking. Some drugs cause your PSA level to be falsely low.
No other special preparation is usually needed.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. These soon go away.
Reasons for a PSA test:
Measuring the PSA level can increase the chance of finding prostate cancer when it is very early. But the value of PSA screening for prostate cancer is debated. No single answer fits all men.
Before having the test, discuss with your doctor both the reasons to have and not to have a PSA test.
If you choose to be tested, the PSA is most often done every year to screen men:
The PSA test result cannot diagnose prostate cancer. Only a prostate biopsy can diagnose this cancer.
Your doctor will look at your PSA result and consider your age, ethnicity, medicines you are taking, and other things to decide whether your PSA is normal and whether you need more tests.
A normal PSA level is considered to be 4.0 ng/ml (nanograms per milliliter of blood).
A high PSA level has been linked to an increased chance of having prostate cancer.
PSA testing is an important tool for detecting prostate cancer, but it is not foolproof. Other conditions can cause a rise in PSA, including:
Your doctor will think about the following things when deciding on the next step:
Men at high risk may need to have more tests. Your doctor may recommend:
If you have been treated for prostate cancer, the PSA level can show if treatment is working or if the cancer has come back. Often, PSA level rises before there are any symptoms, sometimes months or years beforehand.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

Crown's history of innovation now spans six decades
ELKHART, Indiana, USA - June 2007 -- From its humble beginnings in 1947, Crown International has grown to become one of the world's largest and most respected manufacturers of power amplifiers and microphones for professional audio markets.
"Six decades after Mr. Moore first established this company, Crown still adheres to its founder's reputation for creating innovative products that are both sonically superior and highly reliable," says Crown International President Mark Graham. "And with the resources and support of Harman International combined with our dedicated network of employees, reps, distributors and dealers around the globe, Crown is well-poised to carry on that legacy for yet another 60 years."
Crown's history traces back to an Elkhart, Indiana minister named Clarence C. Moore (1904-1979). Moore, a longtime radio enthusiast, had spent the early part of the '40s in Quito, Ecuador working for HCJB, a non-profit Christian broadcasting and engineering group. Following his return to the United States, he felt the desire to supply Christian broadcasters like HCJB with quality electronic products. As a result, Moore founded International Radio and Electronics Corporation (IREC) in 1947 and converted a former chicken coop into the budding manufacturer's first production facility.
The company's early reputation was built on a family of rugged and compact open-reel tape recorders designed to operate reliably when used by missionaries in remote, often-primitive regions of the world. After modifying and distributing several existing models (Magnecord, Recordio, Pentron and Crestwood) for the first couple of years, Moore obtained a patent in 1949 for a groundbreaking invention: the world's first tape recorder with a built-in power amplifier (15 watts).
Eventually, Moore's wife and co-founder, Ruby (deceased 2002), suggested that 'International Radio and Electronics Corporation' was too long a name for the company. Since IREC had by this point produced vacuum tube tape recorders branded 'Royal' and 'Imperial', in addition to the fact that the emblem on those products was a fancy crown, she felt that the company should simply be called Crown. Her husband agreed, and, in the '60s, the company's name was changed to 'Crown International, a division of International Radio and Electronics Corporation'. Finally, in 1975, the stockholders voted to change the name of the corporation to Crown International, Inc.
Over the years, state-of-the-art innovations have made Crown the largest amplifier manufacturer in the world. In the '60s, the introduction of the DC300 high-powered, solid-state amplifier offering 150 watts per channel at eight ohms and AB+B circuitry moved Crown into a leadership position in worldwide markets. Over 40 years later, many DC300s are still faithfully being used in professional audio applications.
Responding to market demand in the '70s, Crown focused on professional audio. Pushing the envelope of computer technology, Crown launched the PSA-2 Power Amplifier with a built-in computer to maximize performance of its output transistors. Product diversification began with the introduction of the still-popular line of Pressure Zone Microphones (PZM) and TEF audio analyzer.
With the implementation of Grounded Bridge(tm) circuitry in the '80s, Crown once again set the standard for amplifier innovation. Providing lower distortion, less thermal stress, higher acoustic output, greater reliability, superior power density and legendary audio quality, Grounded Bridge circuitry was integral to the engineering of the power-packed Macro-Tech and Micro-Tech amplifier lines. Used by many of the largest worldwide touring companies, these highly praised units spawned the Com-Tech amplifier series extensively used by sound contractors in some of the highest-profile installations around the globe.
The '90s found Crown leading the way in the development of computer-controlled audio systems. Crown's patented IQ System, the world's first significant computer-controlled audio system, had been introduced in 1987, and, by 1990, was the most widely used system in the world. Expanded and refined with a growing line of supporting products and system software, Crown IQ Systems handled superstar tours as easily as small installations. Fueled by unprecedented sales and a multi-million dollar manufacturing expansion, Crown, in 1997, added another new milestone in audio technology with the introduction of the K2 amplifier featuring Balanced Current Amplifier(tm) circuitry offering innovative thermal and energy efficiencies.
With the company's acquisition by Harman International in March of 2000, this millennium has already found Crown continuing to engineer forward-thinking solutions. Products such as the flagship I-Tech amplifier line, XM Satellite Radio-equipped 180MAx, and cost-effective yet highly versatile XTi, CDi and DSi product ranges embody the reliability and innovativeness that have long been the manufacturer's hallmarks. And with each product backed up by a three-year, no-fault, fully transferable warranty, Crown today continues to delight its customers with products that consistently exceed both specifications and expectations, even on the most demanding tours and installations.

Another block using partial seams taught by Faith. Wow - pretty slick. This will probably become a throw pillow of sorts. The colors are my happy colors - rainbow brights. Most of them came from my stash drawers, but I pulled a few from some new FQ's.
I love a good royal blue, but usually have a really hard time finding them. I found a couple of good ones in Dear Stella's Maasai Mara collection. The same prints are also available in some good, warm grays and neutrals. I used one of them in the block at the top. (Both colorways are available from Fat Quarter Shop.)
There have been a lot of fantastic British-themed prints this past year. I've been collecting a bunch to make a London quilt (to go with my Union Jack quilt), but it's not very high-up on the priority list right now, so it will probably happen in the future. I like to think that I sparked the UK-themed resurgence this year, but it probably had something to do with the Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics too.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am getting ready to take external radiation therapy to my pelvic region. Can I still breast feed my 5 month old?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
If the radiation is only to your pelvis, breast-feeding is safe. If you need to take medication for nausea or diarrhea that can occur with radiation, please be sure to review the individual medications with your pediatrician to be sure that you may take them while breast-feeding. Also, if you are taking chemotherapy, you should not breast-feed unless it is cleared by both your medical oncologist and pediatrician.
Mar 29, 2010 - A longer duration of breast-feeding may be associated with unfavorable breast tumor characteristics, according to a study presented at the European Breast Cancer Conference, held from March 24 to 27 in Barcelona, Spain.

Inflation is killing the US dollar.
The Amount of US dollar notes in circulation is massive and increasing exponentially. The US' debt is rapidly increasing, which people believe will make the US dollar worthless, and given Americas involvement with world trading and business this will cause massive consequences for all countries and currencies.
Complete economic collapse has been predicted by: Ron Paul, Gerald Celente, Peter Schiff & Jim Rogers.
Vince Cable (Lib Dem Business Secretary) -
"The political class as a whole is not preparing the public for how massive the problem is."Experts also say that quantitative easing (putting more cash in circulation) has never ever helped or been proven to work in any economy ever.
Now I'm no paranoid conspiracy theorist, nor do i believe everything i read, and usually these theories never amount to anything, but when the worlds leading authorities on economics are saying were fucked, I'm pretty concerned.
What are your thoughts?

"Experts also say that quantitative easing (putting more cash in circulation) has never ever helped or been proven to work in any economy ever."
They are modeling this after Japanese economy. If there was no QE, everything would fail in a systematic fashion. Much like the great depression. It was design to ease the down turn and failure. More la se faire economist would tell you that this doesnt work but without this, global economy would just stop. Billions without jobs.

This is all a question of scope.
A lot of commentators blithely conflate 'major economic woes' with 'total apocalypse'.
There is nothing in tha Guardian article that people don't already know—put simply, we've had the massive excesses of profit from the last decade wiped from our slate.
In one sense, this is a terrible, terrible thing to have happened. especially if a focus on making a lot of money's your thing.
In another, it's not, especially if you're just another schmo caught on the tide.

the only difference between 1911 and 2011 is the consumer is better informed. No entity exists to protect the consumers interest. Yet entities continue to exist for the interest of the company.
It's not worth fearing, the only reason we care, is because we know. It's so far removed from the hands of the average citizen, I firmly believe there is no "hope" for anyone alive today. We are cogs in a system. I'd say the best course of action is to put that self aware brain of yours to work and get to work on a million dollar project.
I was discussing this sentiment this morning. for an individual in their mid 30's the amount of money needed at retirement is over 3 million dollars. The cost of tuition for a 4 yr old to go to college will be about $300,000.

I dont think consumers are better informed. They have the same mentality. If they were better informed, no one would buy in to predatory mortgages (not reading the contract or agreement). Everyone is looking for easy buck. I remember a friend of mine was complaining that he was a "victim" of the banks. I asked if he read the contract and agreement. He said "No. Why should I? I am the victim here" I asked to bring the contract. And it is in the first line "interest rate will increase to 15% after 2nd year" and "failure to make payment will increase rate to 35%" He lived in his place for 10 months without paying. He complains that he didnt get his fair share.
This is moronic.

Whenever there is a perception the system isn't working there is always going to be a group of people who advocate for doing something radically different even if their ideas are more or less unproven. In this case the Ron Paul/ Austrian economics crowd who are pretty much betting on the system collapsing with investments in gold and silver etc.
The advantage of being a critic from the sidelines like this though is that you can never be proven wrong. It may well be that our economic system is headed for collapse but that could be in spite of everything that has been done rather than because of it. The real culprits could simply be globalization and transformation of the economy rather than the fiat money system or central banking being inherently unsustainable. Its easy to criticize the Fed but hard to criticize globalization even though its an inherently destabilizing trend.

Lose of US dollar value is nothing to do with import from other countries.
The main scare is (to other countries and US) that no one would buy debt from US Govt. China, who holds most of US debt has started to reduce its holdings. US Currency has been used as a foreign for most countries but they are reducing it. If no one is buying US debt, US can no longer borrow money regardless to debt ceiling.

I think the world would be a better place if people lost the ability to buy the latest iPhone every damn release!
...but seriously, the debt is just insane.
People don't throw good money after bad forever, but get really turned off by the idea when the currency they're holding is devaluing fast (like our savings), China is already pissed...where's all the welfare and healthcare coming from when the credit dries up?
Hopefully we won't be battling it out in the thunderdome next week, but I think things are gonna have to change a lot, and dramatically if the pressure keeps building.
Us 1st worlders don't like to go without even HD TVs, let alone the important stuff, so it could get rough.
...but "I'm not technical" so feel free to tell me why I'm wrong, in detail please so I'll sleep better.

Oh!! The debt, the debt !!
Debt is not a measure of value, it is measure of who has something and who does not.
If I have a million dollars in the bank, the bank owes me a million dollars. If the world has borrowed 50 trillion dollars, and is 50 trillion dollars in debt, then someone somewhere is 50 trillion dollars up (even if they are nervous about getting it back). None of the value is created or destroyed... is it possible that everyone in the world could be drowned by debt ? No - the richest 1% of the world have amassed the value created in the last 50 years at 1000 times the rate everyone else has, and suddenly we're all up to our eyes in debt. To them ?
Default on a mass scale. Anyone who owns more than 100million dollars is subject to a one-time pay-to-play fee leaving them with only 100million dollars. They need to understand that amassing wealth cannot permit a hoarding of influence over everyone else in proportion to that wealth. We all live here, you can't take all the toys, place nice.
Or we'll fucking hang you - read your history.

You are wrong.
People buying and selling makes the economy go around. You get a job from that. There is no us and them. Its all interconnected.
Ideally, we would let the market forces decide who survives but the hardship would be too great that we would not survive.

Look at devaluation of currency in larger countries or even smaller countries. Russia triggered massive economic down turn. Asian financial crisis did the same.
They were both bailed out by the western countries. Now that the western countries are in the down, there really is no one willing to help. China is just hoarding for themselves (gold, natural resources etc).
Devaluing currency is fine for short term but long term, the devaluation can take an accelerated pace.
The US is playing the same game as what the big banks did. "Too big to fail". US feels that if they fail, the global economy will pretty much fail and it has been failing. China will lose it's biggest export partner.

My rant is more to do with the transfer of value. The richest people have got richer during this recession. The govt is trillions of dollars short on what it needs, tax cuts have left a huge hole in the budget, and everyone else is expected to either suffer cuts in services (for which they have paid). The collapse precipitated by deregulating financial instruments like derivatives was political negligence, as was the tax cuts for the rich that have ground our faces into the dirt and leave us on the brink of who-knows-what. Meanwhile, those people who benefited from the tax cuts are also those who benefited from the collapse.
There has been a massive transfer of wealth upward, and I for one will eat bread and drink water and live without electricity if it meant that it would bring those fuckers down too. I'd eat shit and live in a burning, lawless urban dystopia if it meant that there wasn't an orchestrated band of cunts scheming and benefiting from my misery.- Dog-earJun 30, 11, 7:34 p.m. – Permalink

I proceeded to run up around a $100 tab in about 4 hours which doesn't include the shot or beer (or both) that everyone who found out I had just turned 21 insisted on buying me....got kicked out of the Place (not sure why because I blacked out for a bit but I have a recollection of getting hustled out the door by the bouncers and someone, possibly former poster markymania, running outside to give me my jacket), took the T to the Garden and ended up getting kicked out of there 30 minutes before the game started and before my friends even got there. I proceeded to watch the game, which went to overtime, at 4 different bars, and followed a pattern--go to bar, order a beer, drink it, get cut off when attempting to order a second beer, watch the remainder of that period, then stumble to another bar in time for the next period (I actually somehow didn't get cut off at the last place I went to, which amazed me). Ended up never catching up with my friends, stumbling around the city watching the game with random people, then passing out in the T on the way home.
Fun times.
wasn't there a random Green Line groping in there somewhere too?

You know, I wanted to cross stitch blocks for my sister who moved a lot as a Navy wife, then put them into a quilt -- but this is a fantastic idea for my brother in the State Department who has lived all over the place with his wife and kids. He's thinking of retiring after his next posting, which is a four year post so I could get a HUGE head start on this! You are a genius and I'm thrilled I found some quilting blogs! I hope you laugh -- I saw Notre Dame and I looked at the flag and I thought to myself, "our colors are blue and gold -- what the heck is she talking about and what do Monet and French pancakes have to do with my alma mater?" A genius I am not! :)

MicReD Product Suite
DynTIM is a high-precision test environment for both standalone materials and in-situ and is designed to operate in conjunction with T3Ster®, Mentor's leading thermal transient testing solution. The system is mainly designed for the measurement of soft materials, such as thermal greases and compressible pads. Adhesives and solid samples can also be tested.
Featured Resources
"We have been using the T3Ster DynTIM tester and love its speed and ease of use. It uses a very accurate method for characterizing thermal interface materials because it automatically varies the thickness of the sample. DynTIM helps us to develop LED lighting modules with excellent thermal performance and to ensure their thermal reliability over the whole product lifetime."
Dr. Thomas Zahner, Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbH
Fast and Fully Automated Testing Process from Start to Finish, Both Standalone and In Situ
DynTIM offers a fully automated testing process and allows users to test the TIM in its real-world application environment thereby saving time and effort in obtaining true-to-life results. It provides an unrivalled TIM measurement methodology with high accuracy quickly.
Studies show that the datasheet values of TIM materials measured by traditional methods can significantly overestimate the thermal conductivity and in some instances by 9x. DynTIM provides accurate measurement of these materials relative to established highly sophisticated methods in laboratory conditions.
Test a Large Variety of ASTM Type I, II and III Materials
A variety of compressible materials such as greases, pastes, phase-changing materials and with some additional considerations, the test of adhesives and solid samples is also possible. In addition, by testing a wide range of TIMs, users can choose a narrowed selection of the best-performing materials.
Use in combination with T3Ster thermal characterization hardware to test the materials in-situ and in their target environment, for the best possible design decision. Thermal conductivity data measured by DynTIM can also be applied to add thermal properties to simulation models in Mentor CFD solutions, such as FloTHERM or FloEFD.
TIM Measurement with ± 5% Accuracy
Testing systems using today's current methods* do not allow for lower pressure measurements. This causes less than accurate results and the test results can not be replicated without a 10-20% repeatability error (based on conductivity data reports from various vendors).
DynTIM combined with T3Ster provides the industry's most accurate method of measuring thermal resistance of TIMs (±5% with high repeatability) under conditions close to real life applications on a variety of materials at different pre-set thickness levels, such as greases, pastes, phase-changing materials and even specially prepared metallic samples.
* ASTM D5470 Standard Test Method for Thermal Transmission Properties of Thin Thermally Conductive Solid Electrical Insulation Materials and ASTM D5470-06 Standard Test Method of Thermal Transmission Properties of Thermally Conductive Electrical Insulation Materials.
Repeatable High-precision Test Environment
DynTIM tests materials in a realistic thermal environment, between a real diode package and a nickel plated copper cold-plate. The system can set-up the distance of the two surfaces with a resolution of 1 micrometer with minimal effort. Thermal conductivity of samples is calculated based on the change of the thermal resistance of the TIM as a function of its thickness.
This concept is similar to the ASTM standard; however, temperature is measured at one location only (the junction of the semiconductor diode in the top grip). Fine temperature measurement (0.01°C temperature resolution) combined with the calculation of the applied power based on accurate electrical parameters is responsible for the high repeatability of the testing solution.
Short Learning Curve
Due to its simplicity and robustness, DynTIM can be operated by almost anyone after attending an 8-hour training session (optional).

Hall Monitor: the durable Jamie Moyer
By Trevor Hayes
Let's get it out of the way so we can start dissecting what it means: Jamie Moyer has allowed more home runs than any other player in the history of the game.
On Sunday during the bottom of the third inning, Toronto's Vernon Wells hit the first pitch he saw from Moyer into the left field seats – the 506th home run allowed during Moyer's 24-year career. The home run moved Moyer into sole possession of the record and past fellow Philles legend, Hall of Famer Robin Roberts.
In baseball history, 25 men have hit 500 home runs. Only Moyer and Roberts have given up that many, so Moyer is in good company. Roberts held or shared the all-time home runs allowed title for 52 years and 321 days. The Hall of Famer won 286 games, compiled up a .539 winning percentage and finished his 19-year career with a 3.41 career ERA. He was a workhorse with 305 complete games in 609 starts. He pitched 4,688 innings.
Just below Roberts on the homers-allowed list are Hall of Famers Fergie Jenkins (484), Phil Niekro (482) and Don Sutton (472). Among the home runs allowed top ten, there are six Hall of Famers, six 3,000-striekout pitchers, five 300-game winners and no one under 4,000 innings pitched.
The record speaks to the longevity of Moyer's career. In the same game Moyer gave up the record-breaking home run, he threw his 4,000th inning. Just 28 men since 1901 have logged that many innings. Nineteen of them are in the Hall of Fame, and five others are named Bert Blyleven, Roger Clemens, Tom Glavine, Randy Johnson and Greg Maddux.
Looking at Moyer's stats, you come to the conclusion that if he's pitched 24 seasons and registered 4,005 inning in the majors, he had to be doing something right. To this point, Moyer has collected 267 wins, 2,393 strikeouts and owns a .571 winning percentage in 682 career games. He's fourth in the National League in wins this season at nine and fifth in shutouts and complete games, despite being the oldest player in the majors for the last three years. He owns a pair of 20-win seasons and he's only led the league in home runs allowed once.
Moyer's age, 47, shows his ability to re-invent himself to find ways to get hitters out and be effective – and has been an underlying storyline to his career for the last few years. This season he recorded a complete game victory in his 264th career win. The victory was also his 100th since turning 40. Only two pitchers prior to Moyer had won 100 games on the north side of 40, Niekro (121) and Jack Quinn (104). Moyer is now at 103 and still going strong.
Lefties like Moyer have a penchant for hanging on. He's hung on long enough to see his son was drafted (this season by the Twins in the 22nd round). He's hung on long enough to face a 20-year-old rookie who was born in 1990 – Moyer's fifth major league season. Starlin Castro got a hit off Moyer, creating the largest age gap between a hitter and pitcher since 21-year-old Tim Foli got a hit off Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm at 49 in 1972.
One last age note related to Moyer. Since 1901, Only Satchel Paige, Wilhelm, Quinn, Niekro, Kaiser Wilhelm and Nick Altrock pitched at 47 or older. Paige was in a one-game stunt with the Kansas City A's to make him the oldest player at 58, but his last real season was at 46. Hoyt Wilhelm and Quinn both pitched at 49, appearing in 16 and 14 games respectively. At 48, Wilhelm had similar number (20 appearances), while Quinn threw 87 innings in 42 games. Also at 48, Niekro made 26 starts, pitching 138 innings. Niekro, Quinn and Hoyt Wilhelm were all effective at 47.
So the question becomes, how much longer will Jamie Moyer go?

Nice 'n Easy Color Blend Foam
Starting colour
Resulting colour
For best colouring results, stay within 2 shades of your current colour. Your end colour result may not match the model's colour on the box.
Watch the simple application video or follow these step by step instructions to achieve beautiful tones & highlights every time.
Tip: A little foam may appear in the bottle after 3 shakes. However, if the foam fills to the top, the bottle has been shaken too much. If this happens, do not dispense foam – it will be runny. If foam fills to the top of the bottle, squeeze 2-3 times onto a paper towel or tissue to prime and start the foaming action.
Tip: The foam is a permanent dye and can temporarily stain your skin. To help avoid staining, apply a small amount of petroleum jelly or facial moisturizer to the skin at your hairline to create a barrier before beginning. If foam dye comes in contact with skin, wipe away immediately with facial cleanser or astringent.
Dry and style hair to see your gorgeous tones & highlights by Color Blend Foam!
Remember, this foam is a permanent dye and can temporarily stain your skin. To help avoid staining, apply a small amount of petroleum jelly or facial moisturizer to the skin at your hairline to create a barrier before beginning to colour. If dye comes in contact with skin, wipe away immediately with a facial cleanser/astringent.
Holding bottle horizontally while squeezing will cause runny foam to be dispensed. Be sure to keep the bottle upright while using.
To begin application, give the bottle 3 simple shakes to mix contents; formula mixes easily. Do not shake vigorously.
The first squeeze is a prep step to start the foaming action. This may produce some non-foamed liquid, so squeeze into palm of gloved hand and discard on paper towel/tissue. A little foam may appear in the bottle after 3 shakes. However, if foam fills to the top, the bottle has been shaken too much. If this happens, do not dispense—foam will be runny.
Product should remain a liquid in the bottle after mixing; foam will form when squeezing into the hand. The pink foamer cap transforms the liquid into foam when the bottle is squeezed. Just 3 gentle shakes to mix, then squeeze bottle to foam!
Shaking the bottle more than 3 times to mix may cause it (bottle) to fill with foam and cause foam to dispense runny. If this happens, do not apply. If foam fills to top of bottle, allow mixture to settle for 30 seconds, then squeeze 2-3 times onto paper towel or tissue to prime and start the foaming action. Squeeze the foamer bottle lightly 2-3 times until high quality foam is dispensed.
While haircolourants have traditionally been in liquid or crème form, foam is a unique form. It's not a liquid, gas or solid, but combines the best properties of all three. Nice 'n Easy Color Blend Foam's tint and developer are easily mixed and remain in liquid form. Foam is produced when the unique foamer bottle is squeezed.
Once a foam, the product keeps from dripping through fingers or from the head for no-mess application. Once the foam comes in contact with the hair, it acts more like a liquid, making it easy to spread for 100% grey coverage and amazing tones and highlights.
Color Blend Foam absorbs instantly on contact. You'll notice that it transforms on hair faster than other foams and it locks in colour for tones and highlights that lasts. See images below to see why Nice 'n Easy Color Blend Foam is so unbeatably fade-defying among foams.
The Natural Instincts Collection, the only haircolour clinically proven less damaging,* is also the haircolour women applaud for its natural-looking results, healthy-looking shine and ability to gently blend away grey. * Natural Instinct level 2 non-permanent vs. leading level 3 non-permanent crème colour.

Michael Badalucco Visits the Hall of Fame
Actor Michael Badalucco, a familiar face to fans of The Practice, the legal drama series that aired on ABC from 1997 to 2004, made a long-awaited second trip to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on Friday.
"We were on our way to Buffalo and I said to my friend, 'Let's take the long way and let's go to Cooperstown,'" said Badalucco during a break from checking out the Museum's third-floor exhibits. "I haven't been here since I was 11 years old, but it didn't look anything like this. I'm a big baseball fan so I said let's try and to get in there.
"Of course I remember the Plaque Gallery, which looks like it has never changed, but seeing the Museum exhibits now is so insightful and appealing that you don't want to leave. Being here is a great thrill. You come here and you learn things about these guys … you think you know them but you don't really."
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Badalucco, 57, grew up a fan of the New York Yankees and Mickey Mantle.
"My uncles were Yankees fans, but my father from Sicily wasn't much into baseball," he said. "I remember going to Yankee Stadium in the early '60s and being able to walk out on the field and see the monuments and the flagpole after the game."
Before getting his big acting break as a regular on The Practice, portraying lawyer Jimmy Berluti, Badalucco had to work on his craft for a number of years much like a minor league ballplayer.
"Twenty years after I graduated from college (State University of New York at New Paltz) I got a steady job," he said. "I got my degree in theater but instead of being a waiter I worked as a prop man because I could work on the sets. Yogi (Berra) says, 'You can observe a lot by watching.' And I did.
"So all those years I was on the sets of all kinds of big movies in New York and I watched how they directed, how people acted, what went on on the set, so when I finally got my break not only did I know what was going on, every aspect of moviemaking, but I learned to have a great respect for people behind the camera because they are as important as the people in front of it."
Badalucco, who would eventually win the 1999 Emmy for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Berluti on The Practice, can next be seen on the Syfy channel.
"It's my first monster movie (Heebie Jeebies) and it's going to be on in February. I confront a seven-headed monster."
Bill Francis is a Library Associate at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infection that causes raised, pearl-like papules or nodules on the skin.
Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a virus that is a member of the poxvirus family. You can get the infection in different ways.
This is a common infection in children and occurs when a child comes into direct contact with a lesion. It is frequently seen on the face, neck, armpit, arms, and hands but may occur anywhere on the body except the palms and soles.
The virus can spread through contact with contaminated objects, such as towels, clothing, or toys.
The virus also spreads by sexual contact. Early lesions on the genitals may be mistaken for herpes or warts. But unlike herpes, these lesions are painless.
Persons with a weakened immune system (due to conditions such as AIDS ) may have a rapidly spreading case of molluscum contagiosum.
The lesion of molluscum begins as a small, painless papule. It may become raised to a pearly, flesh-colored nodule. The papule often has a dimple in the center. Scratching or other irritation causes the virus to spread in a line or in groups, called crops.
The papules are about 2 to 5 millimeters wide. Usually there is no inflammation (swelling and redness) and subsequently no redness unless you have been digging or scratching at the lesions.
The skin lesion commonly has a central core or plug of white, cheesy or waxy material.
In adults, the lesions are commonly seen on the genitals, abdomen, and inner thigh.
Diagnosis is based on the appearance of the lesion and can be confirmed by a skin biopsy . The health care provider will examine the lesion to rule out other disorders and to determine other underlying disorders.
In people with healthy immune systems, the disorder usually goes away on its own over months to years. But the lesions can spread before they go away.
Individual lesions may be removed surgically. This is done by scraping, de-coring, freezing, or through needle electrosurgery. Laser treatment may also be used. Surgical removal of individual lesions may result in scarring.
Medicines, such as those used to remove warts , may be helpful. But these medicines can cause blistering that leads to temporary skin discoloration. Cantharidin, commonly called beetle juice, is the most common solution used to treat the lesions. Tretinoin cream or imiquimod cream may also be prescribed.
Molluscum contagiosum lesions may persist from a few months to a few years. These lesions ultimately disappear without scarring, unless there is excessive scratching, which may leave marks.
Complete disappearance of all lesions generally occurs within 6 to 18 months. The disorder may persist in immunosuppressed people.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms suggestive of molluscum contagiosum. Also call for an appointment with your health care provider if lesions persist or spread or if new symptoms appear.
Avoid direct contact with the skin lesions. Do not share towels or other personal items, such as razors and make-up with other people.
Avoiding sex can also prevent molluscum virus and other STDs. You can also avoid STDs by having a monogamous sexual relationship with a partner known to be disease-free.
Male and female condoms cannot fully protect you, as the virus can be on areas not covered by the condom. Even so, condoms should still be used every time the disease status of a sexual partner is unknown. Condoms reduce your chances of getting or spreading STDs.
