Brain Tumors
What is a brain tumor?
Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in children. Approximately 3,410 children under age 20 in the US are diagnosed with primary brain tumors each year. Primary brain tumors start in the brain and generally do not spread outside the brain tissue. Brain tumors, either malignant or benign, are tumors that originate in the cells of the brain. A tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue.
A benign tumor does not contain cancer cells and usually, once removed, does not recur. Most benign brain tumors have clear borders, meaning they do not invade surrounding tissue. These tumors can, however, cause symptoms similar to cancerous tumors because of their size and location in the brain.
Malignant brain tumors contain cancer cells. Malignant brain tumors are usually fast growing and invade surrounding tissue. Malignant brain tumors very rarely spread to other areas of the body, but may recur after treatment. Sometimes, brain tumors that are not cancer are called malignant because of their size and location, and the damage they can do to vital functions of the brain.
Brain tumors can occur at any age. Brain tumors that occur in infants and children are very different from adult brain tumors, both in terms of the type of cells and the responsiveness to treatment.
Anatomy of the brain:
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain is an important organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, respirations, temperature, hunger, and every process that regulates our body.
The brain can be divided into the cerebrum, the brainstem, and the cerebellum:
What causes brain tumors?
The majority of brain tumors have abnormalities of genes involved in cell cycle control, causing uncontrolled cell growth. These abnormalities are caused by alterations directly in the genes, or by chromosome rearrangements which change the function of a gene.
Patients with certain genetic conditions (i.e. neurofibromatosis, von Hippel-Lindau disease, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and retinoblastoma) also have an increased risk to develop tumors of the central nervous system. There have also been some reports of children in the same family developing brain tumors who do not have any of these genetic syndromes.
Research has been investigating parents of children with brain tumors and their past exposure to certain chemicals. Some chemicals may change the structure of a gene that protects the body from diseases and cancer. Workers in oil refining, rubber manufacturing, and chemists have a higher incidence of certain types of tumors. Which, if any, chemical toxin is related to this increase in tumors is unknown.
Children who have received radiation therapy to the head as part of prior treatment for other malignancies are also at an increased risk for new brain tumors.
What are the symptoms of a brain tumor?
The following are the most common symptoms of a brain tumor. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms vary depending on size and location of tumor. Many symptoms are related to an increase in pressure in or around the brain. There is no spare space in the skull for anything except the delicate tissues of the brain and its fluid. Any tumor, extra tissue, or fluid can cause pressure on the brain and result in the following symptoms:
Symptoms vary depending upon which part of the brain the tumor is found. Symptoms of brain tumors in the cerebrum (front of brain) may include:
Symptoms of brain tumors in the brainstem (middle of brain) may include:
Symptoms of brain tumors in the cerebellum (back of brain) may include:
The symptoms of a brain tumor may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
How is a brain tumor diagnosed?
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination of your child, diagnostic procedures for a brain tumor may include:
Diagnosis of a brain tumor depends mostly on the types of cells in which the tumor begins and the tumor location.
What are the different types of brain tumors?
The different types of brain tumors include the following:
Treatment for brain tumors:
Specific treatment for brain tumors will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Treatment may include (alone or in combination):
Long-term outlook for a child with a brain tumor:
Prognosis greatly depends on:
As with any cancer, prognosis and long-term survival can vary greatly from individual to individual. Prompt medical attention and aggressive therapy are important for the best prognosis. Continuous follow-up care is essential for a child diagnosed with a brain tumor. Side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, as well as second malignancies, can occur in survivors of brain tumors.
Rehabilitation for lost motor skill and muscle strength may be required for an extended amount of time. Speech therapists and physical and occupational therapists may be involved in some form of rehabilitation. More research is needed to improve treatment, decrease side effects of the treatment for this disease, and develop a cure. New methods are continually being discovered to improve treatment and to decrease side effects.

5 Things Nobody Tells You About Being Poor
Your Next Expensive Disaster is Always Around the Corner
Shit happens, always at the exact worst time. A tire blows on my car and, without a spare, it instantly becomes a paperweight. There's $80 for a new tire, $50 for a tow. Now, it's a good idea to have a separate bank account set up specifically for these situations because they are unavoidable. It's also a good idea to have a sex slave or two just sitting around in case your balls need shaved. It's not that fucking simple.
Just a little further, sir. We need to be able to stab your heart with our dicks.
You get the same domino effect with sudden financial disasters as you do with the bank fees. For instance, I worked a shitty service industry job, which meant I got paid by the hour, and didn't get paid unless I showed up -- no paid time off. But I couldn't physically get to work because of the goddamned flat tire. It's a rural area, no subway or buses. So it's double penetration -- not just lost work time, but lost time that is spent paying for a tow and a tire. And if I didn't happen to have that money sitting around, it meant waiting until payday, and missing work until then.
Which meant my next paycheck would be short. By the time I get it fixed and add in the missed work time, that $80 tire just turned into a $250 enema. That's life in a world with no financial margin for error. It's like trying to climb out of a dick pit but the ladder is also made of dicks.
Years ago, we bought a house with the help of our in-laws. You know, because owning property is the responsible adult thing to do. The very first fucking night of moving in, we got a massive water leak. I couldn't just call the landlord -- I was the landlord. I couldn't call a plumber because we didn't have the $150 to pay the guy, not until payday. So the leak was allowed to run until we could put the money together to pay one. So two weeks later, we hand the guy $150. And then, a week later, the water bill arrives.
You find yourself thinking, "Man, we could get caught up if this bad shit wouldn't keep happening!" Then it finally hits you that bad shit happens like clockwork. Not because God hates you, but because you're poor and you're using cheap shit that breaks. Maybe you don't pay the $150 for a plumber, but have a handy friend fix it for you for $50. Awesome, you saved $100! Then six months later you have a leak again, because it turns out he fixed it with rubber bands and Fruit Roll-ups.
Everything in a poor person's life is a cash vampire. My truck has 170,000 miles on it and the MPG is so bad that every time I start it, the ghost of an Indian appears in the passenger seat and cries. About twice a year, something under the hood grinds to a halt or melts -- always another $500 on a tow and repairs. And that was the money I was saving to get a more reliable car.
Hell, even my own body does it to me. I lost my last job because of chronic back pain, losing my health insurance in the process. Which means I can't treat my chronic back pain. Can't afford to get dentist check-ups, so more expensive problems are allowed to grow and fester. And so on.
You're Always in Survival Mode
There's a phrase in the working world that drives me crazy. One guy says, "The money's not great, but I love my job." And somebody responds, "Hey, happiness is all that really matters."
To be clear, that's probably true for people at a certain level of income. If you aren't struggling to pay the bills, then happiness is indeed a pretty damn awesome extra. But you know those movies like American Beauty, about the guy with the unfulfilling career who abandons it to live life to its fullest? Yeah, don't forget that after quitting their jobs they still come home to houses that look like this:
But down here, at this level, you take what you can fucking get. Fantasies about holding out for that dream job will ruin you.
For instance, long before reading to this part, some helpful commenter has surely skipped down and chimed in with, "Why don't you just get a job, you lazy fuck!" Wait, did you think I was unemployed? Hell no, it's been years since I was out of work for any long period of time. I've always had jobs. Shitty, shitty jobs.
A huge chunk of this economy runs on shitty jobs now. Recently, McDonald's held a job fair with 50,000 openings. They got more than 1,000,000 applications. Tens of millions of you will wind up in one of these jobs, it's sheer math.
These service jobs pay hourly, they give you little or nothing in terms of benefits and there is nothing in the way of security even from week to week -- your hours could get cut at any time, for any reason. Sure, you can take a second part-time job. Though, that's assuming you can find one that works around your primary job's schedule -- just mentioning that you have another job in an interview is often enough to stop that interview mid-sentence. Why hire you when there are 30 guys in line behind you with completely free schedules?
So in answer to the inevitable, "You need to dream bigger, and strive forth to get a new career for yourself!" Hey, I totally agree. But now we're back in the Catch-22 poverty fuck gauntlet. Once you're in this tier of jobs, getting out isn't just hard, it's expensive.
Sure, you can take classes at night at a community college or something. Maybe you'll even get financial aid or loans to pay for your books or tuition. What they will not pay for is the time you missed at work while you were in classes or for a babysitter or for transportation. And you sure as fuck better be certain that you have some kind of aptitude for whatever you're studying (which, by the way, you won't know until you've spent a year or two studying it) because that's the only chance you're going to get.
You can do it the old-fashioned way, by working your way up the corporate ladder from within whatever shitty job you have. But that is also expensive because promotions often require you to move. I got offered a promotion at my shitty service job (washing semi trucks with high-pressure hoses, the job that eventually destroyed my back) that would have required me to move several hours away. And moving costs money -- remember what I said about the cost of getting utilities turned on? And how landlords check your credit?
And then there are the intangible costs. I would be abandoning my children, for instance -- I share custody with my ex-wife, who obviously was not going to be moving with me. How many visits would I get in before my car broke down? And moving away from friends and family also comes with a cost -- think of the favors you do for each other (i.e. the friend/brother/uncle willing to fix the truck for free, because you helped paint his porch, etc).
Rounding each other's fros.
It's not impossible, but it's taking a huge risk. And if the new job doesn't work out after you bet all of your chips, you're triple fucked. And at that point the world will wag its finger at you and tell you how irresponsible it was to move when you were so poor. "Ha, you poor people are always doing stupid shit like that!"
And on and on. People do get out of this situation -- I got paid to write this, for instance. All I'm saying is that the journey is something like trying to go from the Earth to the Moon. By letting them launch a Saturn V rocket directly into your butthole.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Bill O'Brien made an intriguing decision late in the first half when he opted to go for it on fourth-and-goal from the 8 rather than letting Sam Ficken try a 25-yard field goal.
The Lions were already leading, 20-0, and Ficken had missed the PAT after their third touchdown. That, of course, came after he missed four field goals and a PAT last week at Virginia.
O'Brien had a decision to make: See if his offense could build a bigger lead, or give his struggling kicker an opportunity to try a short field goal to build some confidence.
"I just felt good about the play call," O'Brien said. "It had nothing to do with Sam Ficken."
Penn State came up empty on the drive as Matt McGloin misfired on fourth down. The Lions tried only one other fourth-down attempt, which they converted.
In pregame warmups, the Penn State student section cheered loudly each time Ficken made a kick. He converted four extra points during the game, and the crowd showed its support each time with loud cheers.
Zordich gets his shot
Since O'Brien arrived at Penn State, Michael Zordich has been in his ear.
"Michael and I have had a lot of conversations about his role on the football team, and he's always reminded me 'I used to run the football in high school, Coach. I used to run the football in high school, Coach.'" O'Brien said. "It's like Ferris Bueller's teacher. Just over and over."
Because of injuries to the top two tailbacks on the depth chart - Bill Belton and Derek Day - Zordich got his shot on Saturday. He finished as the Nittany Lions' leading rusher with 50 yards on 11 carries.
"I've been wanting to do that. He gave me the opportunity. I took advantage and had a lot of fun today," Zordich said.
Curtis Dukes also got a chance and chipped in with 49 yards in 11 attempts. A 230-pounder with a burst of speed, he drew "ooohs" from the crowd on a 3-yard run in the first half when he bulldozed a Navy tackler.
In his previous three years, Zordich only had 35 rushes and the most he had in any season was 18. His yardage bettered his previous best year by 10 yards.
"I really haven't carried the ball since four years ago, so I was anxious," Zordich said.
"He's got to get his pads down a little more, but I thought, for the most part, he did a good job," O'Brien said.
DT Hill gets shot on offense
Jordan Hill is an All-America candidate at defensive tackle, but he's no stranger to offense as he played fullback in high school. Hill got a shot to line up on offense at the goal line on PSU's first touchdown, serving as an H-back.
"I love being on offense," Hill said. "It brought back my glory days of high school."
At Steelton-Highspire High School, Hill served as a blocker for Jeremiah Young, who set a state record with 9,027 rushing yards.
Hill said he has caught three TD passes in practice, and when asked if he'd be used as a runner, receiver or blocker, he said, "All options are available."
O'Brien mentioned during the week that the offense would have a mystery running back. So was it Hill?
"No," the coach said before later conceding, "He's part of that mystery running back committee."
Dish Network drops BTN
DISH Network subscribers nationwide no longer have access to Big Ten Network, after the two sides were unable to reach a carriage agreement.
Penn State's game at Iowa on Oct. 20 will be broadcast by BTN, plus at least one more remaining contest this season. If DISH and BTN can't reach an agreement, Dish subscribers will not be able to watch those games. BTN released the following statement Saturday:
"BTN attempted to complete an agreement with DISH. We thought that we were making progress, unfortunately that was not the case. On Friday, September 14th, DISH dropped BTN. We are disappointed to report that DISH does not see the value in the network in the same way that so many of their customers do, including Big Ten students, alumni, fans and viewers across the country. Unfortunately, DISH isn't interested in a fair deal, and they continued to insist on preferential treatment by demanding better terms than our agreements with their competitors."
The network also posted on its website that "BTN's proposals were entirely reasonable and in line with the BTN agreements already secured with other distributors within the marketplace."
Injury update
Along with Belton and Day, left tackle Donovan Smith (ankle) and defensive end Pete Massaro (shoulder) missed the game. O'Brien said Smith should be ready next week and added that all the injured players are day to day. Massaro missed last season with a knee injury and has had some issues this year, as well, and O'Brien said he will be penciled in as day to day pretty much all season.
Navy player has local ties
Midshipmen backup nose tackle Bernie Sarra is the great nephew of longtime Nittany Lion assistant coach Joe Sarra, who passed away before the season.
The younger Sarra's connection to central Pennsylvania doesn't end there, though. Current Northern Cambria High School standout linebacker Alex Atkins is his cousin, as is former Colt player Anthony Atkins.
Sarra also was part of the Greensburg Central Catholic football team that stopped Bedford's Cinderella run in the PIAA Class AA semifinals in 2009 at Windber Stadium.
Two other Navy reserves have close relationships with Penn State. Sophomore fullback Maika Polamalu is the son of Al Pola, a starting defensive tackle on the Lions' 1986 national championship team; Polamalu also was linked with Penn State coming out of high school but never received a scholarship offer. Guard Matt Couch's father, Tom, played at Penn State in the early 1980s.
Polamalu was the only player of the three to see action, getting a carry for 3 yards late in the game.
Recruits at the game
Originally expected to be a bigger recruiting weekend, only a handful of prospects were in attendance.
Once again, Cedar Cliff tight end Adam Breneman, already committed to the Lions, headed the list. Another player who has already pledged to Penn State, Hershey offensive lineman Andrew Nelson, was there, as well.
Probably the biggest uncommitted player was Omar Truitt, a junior defensive back from Washington, D.C. Clearfield junior athlete Christian Lezzer also was on hand.
News and notes
Penn State's game captains were FB P.J. Byers, a Navy diving specialist, C Matt Stankiewitch and DE Sean Stanley. ... Byers carried the American flag running onto the field with his teammates out of the tunnel before the game. On Military Appreciation Day, Byers and DE Brent Smith, a former Marine who served two tours of duty in Iraq, were honored on the field during the second half. Neither played in the game. ... Once highly touted recruit Eric Shrive got in at RT on PSU's third offensive series, but on his first play he was called for a personal foul and was immediately lifted. ... TE Garry Gilliam made his first catch of the season, and his first in two years as he missed all of 2011 with a knee injury.

LISBON - The Columbiana County Board of Elections, like other election boards across Ohio, is in a holding pattern on what hours, if any, they will be open on the weekend prior to the Nov. 6 election.
The subject came up at Thursday's board meeting after members asked where everything stood following a federal judge's decision overturning a state law ending early voting on the Friday before the Nov. 6 election. The judge ordered Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted to issue a directive instructing election boards to open for the weekend.
"As things stand, they don't really stand," said elections board Director Adam Booth, who reported that Husted has yet to issue a directive. Meanwhile, the state is appealing the judge's ruling which could result in the ruling being overturned.
At issue is the early voting law. Before 2006, the only voters who could vote early by casting an absentee ballot were those who were going to be out of the county on election day or otherwise unavailable. The law was expanded that year to allow anyone to vote early if they so choose, and during the 2008 presidential election voters were allowed to vote early on the Saturday and Monday prior to the election.
A new state law ended early voting at 6 p.m. on the Friday before the election, which spawned the lawsuit by President Obama's campaign that resulted in the lawsuit.
Voters can begin casting early ballots on Oct. 2 and have until Nov. 2 to do so, and Husted has also ordered election boards be open longer hours during that period to accommodate early voting. Early voters can do so by mail or in person at the elections board office.
Booth said when they were open the weekend before the 2008 election it was only until noon on Saturday, and he does not know if Husted's eventual directive will also require they be open Sunday.
"I won't know until the secretary of state tells us what those hours will be," he said.
Booth views the law as impractical because it will require his staff of four spend the Monday before the election - when they are distributing polling place machines and materials to poll workers - to also spend time waiting on those who show up at the office to vote early.
It also means the voter registration books sent with poll workers that day will not be up to date, so a supplemental list of those who voted early on Monday will have to be prepared Monday night and given to poll workers.
Although early voting is set to begin Oct. 2, deputy Director Kim Meek reported they have received 2,900 applications to date from people wanting to vote by mail. Officials said this is in response to early-voting applications mailed last week by the state to every Ohio voter.

A NAMI Voice: The High Cost of Stigma and Discrimination in the Workplace
Four years ago, I had a job that I loved, surveying consumer satisfaction in the local mental health care system. A requirement for the job was that the position be filled by a consumer or family member. I am both, and I identified myself as suffering from bipolar disorder, but I noted that I received regular care and had been stable and employed for all my adult life.
I had been successful in my job. Unfortunately, after I disagreed publicly with a regional mental health official about how satisfaction survey contracts were awarded everything began to unravel. The day following that public meeting, my boss called me into her office and claimed that I had embarrassed her and the organization. Furthermore, she asserted that my public comment was a symptom of my illness.
It was not.
When my boss and two county officials confronted me a week later I learned that they had discussed my illness amongst themselves and with others. I soon discovered that my peers had discussed my illness in front of their children and friends. My daughters heard about the "so called symptoms" at their local high school. They were 13 and 17 years old. "Was it true that their mother was crazy and had been fired?" they asked me.
Doors to employment that had been open for me closed quickly. Employers with whom I had good relationships wouldn't return my calls. My letters and resumes were ignored.
Where to turn? I knew of the employment services in my county. I had worked with this agency as a professional in the past. Many of my peers received services in the "workshop environment" provided by the employment agency. They were sent on interviews for jobs bussing tables and fast food restaurant jobs.
I went to the federal vocational program in our area. They tested all of my abilities and determined that I had an above average IQ and superior intelligence. Thus I would not qualify for retraining. However, they offered to place me in an office to answer phones on a part-time basis. Although this outcome would improve their performance statistics, it would disqualify me for SSDI, which I increasingly believed was my only choice.
Stigma and discrimination have cost me my livelihood, self-esteem and the future I had before I self-disclosed my illness. I hadn't changed, but what the world saw had: after knowing about my illness they saw someone who is unemployable, undependable and possibly dangerous; a person who cannot be trusted.

Congrats! on getting featured as fan of the month on Knex.com!
Thanks! Sorry for the late comment though.
Got any KNEX projects your working on? I built your coin sorter it was really fun to build and mess around with! I hope you post some more small projects like that.
I'm not building right now, but Citadel is still up in the construction phase. I likely will make more small projects, after I get some of the larger ones out of the way. And that's if I continue to build at all lol. Glad you liked the coin sorter though!
How is your ballmachine going?
I haven't done much with it. I've been pretty sickly over the past few months, so I'm not in the best condition to build anything.
So I see...
Freezing? The cold never bothered me anyway. :-P
Frozen? (movie?)
Yep. That's Koolcoasterkid's favorite movie, so he'll be glad if you talk about it on his Orangeboard.
in the words of koolcoasterkid "Shadowman's just trolling me...Frozen isn't actually my favorite movie"
You tricked us! LOL :D

Charleston themes. Holy City storytelling. Lowcountry characters. Those are the phrases that describe the Preservation Society of Charleston's Fall Tours. The event, formerly called the Fall Tours of Home & Gardens, has changed its name to reflect a new focus.
If you go
What: 37th Preservation Society of Charleston Fall Tours.
When: Tours on the peninsula, Oct. 3-27 at various times; Historic Plantations and Churches of Edisto Island 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Oct. 4; Historic Plantations and Churches along the Cooper River 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Oct. 19; and lunch lectures, 12:30-1:15 p.m., Oct. 5, 9, 12, 16, 23 and 26.
Where: Tour and lunch lecture locations vary.
Cost: Tours on the peninsula, $45 society members $50 nonmembers; plantations tours, $112.50 society members and $125 nonmembers; and lunch lectures, $10 society members, $15 nonmembers.
For more information: Visit www.thefalltours.org.
The 19 tours take place Oct. 3-27. They are themed in such a way that each structure tells one part of a cohesive story about Charleston.
The hope is that visitors will gain a broader perspective of the historic city's architectural styles; private plantations and churches on Edisto Island and along the Cooper River; the Charleston Renaissance's artists and writers; Philip Simmons' gates; and the legacy of the society's founder, Susan Pringle Frost, during the tours, now in their 37th year.
After many years of house-to-house tours based strictly on neighborhoods, why the change?
"There needs to be an intellectual connection made between the houses and the bigger stories of Charleston's architecture and history," says Evan Thompson, the society's executive director.
"We have learned through formal surveys and informal feedback that people want to know so much more about a house than when the kitchen was remodeled and where the painting over the mantel came from," he says.
"There is a hunger for interesting information about what makes these beautiful and interesting houses so important and our tours are evolving to meet that need.
Thompson says the society expects visitors to understand Charleston's history in a new way.
Sandi Clerici, the society's director of public programs, says among the most exciting changes are the two tours off the peninsula.
Excursions to Edisto Island and along the Cooper River will give visitors the opportunity to spend the day exploring private plantation homes that rarely are open to the public.
"They tell the story of very early Charleston and the growth of the plantations," she says. "That is a totally new feature for us, to have a bus tour where people board, spend the day and return downtown."
Prepping for changes
To prepare for the changes, the society has been holding training sessions to help volunteers in their new role as storytellers, who each are responsible for a chapter in the unfolding saga that defines their tours.
Harlan Greene, an expert on the Charleston Renaissance, marking the significant artistic and cultural changes that took place in the city between the two World Wars, gave a lecture to volunteers.
"What I tried to do was familiarize them with the larger context of the Charleston Renaissance and alert them to some of the names" associated with it, says Greene, head of special collections at the College of Charleston.
Many already were somewhat familiar with the names associated with that period.
The larger focus was to give the volunteers information to help them have a more holistic view of the Charleston Renaissance tour.
Greene, who authored "Mr. Skylark: John Bennett and the Charleston Renaissance" and co-edited "Renaissance in Charleston: Art and Life in the Carolina Low Country, 1900-1940," also suggested they look for details in the houses they might use when telling the story, such as an Elizabeth O'Neill Verner etching.
The Charleston Renaissance is among the tours Dave Brumbaugh is giving.
Brumbaugh, who first volunteered to assist with the annual tours last year, is eager to see what tour guests' responses to the new format will be.
"They are doing a nice job with these classes," says Brumbaugh. "Then, you walk around the tour route. Then, they send you home with a big packet, a write-up on each of the houses to study.
"Last year as a street marshal, what I did was get people from house to house," Brumbaugh says.
He's looking forward to fitting the narrative of each house into the overall tour themes, he says. Meanwhile, he's learning a lot about the city's neighborhoods.
Clerici says the tours have about a $3 million economic impact on the city and the society wants to retain that. Ticket sales are doing well and expected to be up.
"We do know that people return to the tours and that they have become a destination," she says. In addition, Clerici says the society expects to attract more longtime residents, as well as new residents eager to explore Charleston's history.
"We don't know of other tours that are done in this manner," she says.
The 2,000-plus-member Preservation Society of Charleston was founded in 1920 by Frost and others as the Society for the Preservation of Old Dwellings.
It is the oldest membership-based community preservation organization in the country
Reach Wevonneda Minis at 937-5705.
The Charleston single house is one of the architectural themes that will be explored during this year's tours.×
This house will present the legacy of Susan Pringle Frost, the major force in the founding of what is now the Preservation Society of Charleston.×
This stately mansion will be visited by those on the South of Broad: East Battery Tour.×

The village of Sattel is on the road over from Goldau and Schwyz towards Lake Aegeri and the upland valley of the Biber, in the direction of Einsiedeln and Lake Zurich. It was on the territory of Sattel, in the hamlet of Schornen by the Morgarten mountain, that a battle took place on 15 November 1315 between the Habsburgs and the people of Schwyz and their confederates, which went down in history as the "first freedom battle" fought by the Confederation. The Habsburg army was utterly wiped out. Today the Battle of Morgarten is remembered by a memorial on Lake Aegeri and a chapel.
Sattel-Hochstuckli offers a really special cable-car experience: "Stuckli Rondo" is the first cable-car in the world to have revolving gondolas, taking passengers in comfort from Sattel up to "Stuckli Run" summer sledging run (with steep-sided bends and tunnels), to the jumping paradise of "Stuckli Jump" (trampoline and bouncy castle), the Engelstock adventure trail, the starting point for walks and hikes and to the mountain restaurants.
There's plenty of fun, sport and adventure in summer. The new pedestrian suspension bridge "Raiffeisen Skywalk" is the highlight of the Sattel-Hochstuckli adventure area. Visitors enjoy the experience of being on a suspension bridge on Europe's longest pedestrian suspension bridge - which is 374 meters long and 58 meters high. The "Raiffeisen Skywalk" can be easily combined with circular hiking tours. It is also wheelchair- and stroller-friendly.
In winter, the region becomes a family-friendly winter sports area with 14 km of slopes and 20 km of cross-country ski tracks. For sledgers, careering from the Mostelberg to Sattel is a real adventure (and the run is even open at night on certain dates). Snow-shoe tours make for a wonderful day in the snow, rounded off with a fondue or "moonlight" menu.
- Stuckli Rondo – the world's first cable-car ride to have panoramic gondolas which revolve twice on their axis during the ride.
- Raiffeisen Skywalk – Europe's longest pedestrian suspension bridge. Enjoy the experience of being on a suspension bridge on the 374-meter walk. Next to the mountain station.
- Battle of Morgarten – victory of the Confederate forces over the Habsburgs in the year 1315. Remembered in the Morgarten memorial on Lake Aegeri and a chapel.
Top Events
- Bärgmärcht Sattel – market in a marquee at the Roller Park (September/October).
- Morgartenfeier – celebration in memory of the Battle of Morgarten with procession, church service and Morgarten shooting competition (November).

The longtime couple exchanged vows inside the cloister of a convent called the Convento di Santa Maria di Costantinopoli, a luxury bed and breakfast in Brindisi, Italy, before just 40 close friends and family members, including the bride's brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, and his girlfriend, Reese Witherspoon.
A family friend, whom a source says donned a top hat for the occasion, officiated at the half-hour ceremony, which took place at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Later, guests mingled in the convent's garden, which features a pool – and then were treated to a sit-down dinner inside. The chef and his team brought a special kitchen to the convent in order to accommodate the banquet. Guests enjoyed Castel di Salve wines – from a winery in the nearby town of Lecce – with their meal.
A traditional Italian music group, Zimbo, entertained at the reception. "We played songs by Domenico Modugno like, 'Tu Si Na' Cosa Bella Pe Me' (Translation: 'You Are a Beautiful Thing for Me') and the famous hit 'Volare,' " a member of the group tells PEOPLE.
The following day, the bride and groom, who are parents to 2½-year-old daughter Ramona, had brunch with family, including Jake and Reese. They later biked to the town where they were spotted doing some shopping, according to sources, and spent time at a secluded beach called Acquaviva, known for its mixture of fresh spring water and sea water.

Florida Class 4A Girls Tennis State Champion Alizee Michaud has signed on to play for the Stetson women's tennis team in 2014-15, as was announced by Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote on Thursday.
Michaud is a native of France, but calls Orlando home, where she attends Dr. Phillips High School. This past spring she won the Class 4A individual state championship with an undefeated singles season, and was named Florida High School Player of the Year.
Training in France for much of her childhood, Michaud became just the second Dr. Phillips player to win the state championship, and just the 12th girl from the Central Florida area to achieve the feat in the 75-year history of the tournament.
"To have Alizee commit to joining our program for 2014-15 is significant," Pilote said. "I believe that she will do for our women's tennis program what Marcus Echtler did for our men's program in regards to receiving national recognition. Alizee is the first piece of an important recruiting year for us."
Michaud, who has been ranked as high as 10th in the nation by tennisrecruiting.net, defeated two-time defending state champion Joulia Likhanskaia of Winter Park on her way to the state title. Likhanskaia hadn't lost a high school match in three years before falling to Michaud twice in 2013.

GEN's editorial staff interviews life science academic and biotech industry leaders on important research, technology, and trends. These podcasts will keep you informed with all the important details you need.
Engineers at Ohio State University say they have invented a new kind of nanoparticle that shines in different colors to tag molecules in biomedical tests. The plastic nanoparticles are stuffed with quantum dots that glow brightly in red, yellow, or green, so researchers can track molecules under a microscope. This is the first time anyone has created fluorescent nanoparticles that can change colors continuously, according to the scientists.
During this week's podcast, research team member Dr. Jessica Winter provides additional details on the new nanoparticle. She also discusses the advantages of using quantum dots instead of fluorescent materials when tagging molecules. In addition, Dr. Winter talks about some of the novel life science and medical applications for the nanoparticle and explains what types of research projects are under way to further develop the technology.
Jessica Winter is the H.C. "Slip" Slider assistant professor in the departments of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChE) and Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the Ohio State University. She received her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Innovative Visual Rehabilitation, a collaborative effort between the Boston VA Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in 2006. Her current research interests include the development of biomimetic, polymeric materials for the brain, and the development of multifunctional nanoparticles for biological manipulation and imaging.

Seamless User-Generated Content Sharing in the Extended Home
Belimpasakis, Petros
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2009-06-17
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication;812
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Faculty of Computing and Electrical Engineering
Department: Department of Communications Engineering
User generated content, captured with handheld and mobile devices, is constantly increasing both in terms of quantity and quality, as modern devices have become very affordable and easy to use. At the same time, wide availability of Internet connectivity, either via broadband home PC connections or directly from mobile devices, made it possible to share the captured content with the loved ones, those being family, friends, or even unknown people with common interests. Based on the human social need for experience sharing, many on-line services, applications and technologies were built to allow photo, video and audio sharing among users of all capabilities. However, this growth of user content sharing has increased the volume of media and diversity of tools, which in turn leads to usability and content repository fragmentation hindrances. Users have their content stored at multiple locations, such as the home, which is the primary place for storing and archiving, online sharing services and mobile devices. Moreover, their sharing habits are usually limited or dictated by the sharing tools and services they use and in many cases they are forced to use multiple solutions for their given use cases. This thesis studies user-generated content sharing, mainly in the form of snapshot media, in the Internet (i.e. on-line services), mobile and home domains, presenting the main architectures and protocols. Special attention is paid at the home domain as the networked home is expected to play an important role in the years to come, by considering spatial and functional extensions, leading to what is called "Extended Home". This could enable new ways of content sharing, without the need of uploading the content to 3rd party services and sites. Thus, emphasis is put on the concept of "remote access" to home networks, which is a key enabler. The author suggests that content sharing can be abstracted so that devices and applications could function independently of the actual protocols and bearers used, introducing the concept of seamless content sharing. Seamless content sharing encompasses the abstraction of different content repositories and sharing methods, such as sharing directly from the home, via on-line services, or with devices in proximity, so that the user does not need to deal with technical details, access bearers or sharing protocol selection. Rather, users should be able, in a "user-centric" manner to just select the person that they want to share content with and let the system automatically choose the best possible method and technology, in a transparent manner. Moreover, the author presents novel architectures for content sharing in nomadic and extended home environments, even going beyond sharing of multimedia content, towards any kind of user-generated content to not only users but also external, semi-trusted, services.

Survey: Millennials Lean Left but Reject Party Labels
WASHINGTON—Millennials voted for President Barack Obama in big numbers, but they have little attachment to the Democratic Party, according to a new survey that paints a picture of a generation that differs in striking ways from their older cohorts.
Millennials are even less likely to connect to the Republican Party, and fully half call themselves politically independent. It's not just political institutions they avoid. Only 26% are married, well below the marriage rates for Generation X at the same age. And 29% say they aren't affiliated with a religion, a much higher percentage than other generations.
New data out from the Pew Research Center show a group detached from traditional institutions, less likely to consider themselves "patriotic" and less trusting of others.
Their lack of loyalty to the Democratic Party suggests there may be an opening for the GOP, and some Republicans are urging the party to do a better job appealing to these young people. But Millennials also hold liberal views on a range of issues, meaning it will be difficult for Republicans to make gains.
The findings come from a survey being released Friday of 1,821 adults, including 617 Millennial adults, conducted Feb. 14-23. Millennials are defined as people born after 1980. The oldest Millennials are now 33.
It's an increasingly important segment of the electorate, said Paul Taylor, executive vice president of the Pew center and author of "The Next America," which looks at demographics and politics. In 2012, 18% of voters were Millennials. But as more Millennials become eligible to vote, and more older voters die, this younger generation will occupy a bigger space. By 2020, they will represent 38% of all voters, he said.
"This group will cast an ever more important role in the political life of our country," he said.
Far more than the older generations, Millennials support same-sex marriage, marijuana legalization and citizenship for illegal immigrants. More broadly, just over half say they prefer a bigger government with more services, vs. 38% who prefer a smaller government with fewer services. Nearly a third call themselves "liberal," vs. 26% who say they are "conservative."
And while they disapprove of the Obama health-care law at about the same rate as other generations, Millennials are much more likely to say the government has a responsibility to insure health coverage for all.
"The connection of the Millennial generation to the Democratic party is weak but their connection to liberalism is strong," said Simon Rosenberg, president of NDN, a Democratic-leaning think tank, who has studied this generation. While Millennials may not embrace the Democratic Party, he said many reject Republicans because their stances on gay rights, immigration and other issues project an "intolerant" image.
Ari Fleischer, a Republican who served as press secretary for George W. Bush, sees courting Millennials as a key mission. "If we become the party where young people roll their eyes when they see us coming, we have a problem," he said.
But he notes that Mr. Obama's performance with young voters in 2012, while still strong, was not as crushing at is it was in 2008, and Millennial views of Mr. Obama have dropped over time. In 2008, Mr. Obama won 66% of voters ages 18 to 29, with a 34-point edge over Republican John McCain. In 2012, he won 60% of them, with a 23-point margin over Republican Mitt Romney.
Republicans can do better with these voters, but only if they adopt a more welcoming attitude, said Mr. Fleischer, who helped write an autopsy of the 2012 election for the Republican National Committee.
"It becomes very important that Republicans prove they're a big tent," he said. "It's important for the party to beat that drum and sound that message that everybody is welcome. That has a lot to do with tolerance and open-mindedness."
If Republicans adapt their messages, this group could change its politics as they marry and grow older, he said. "Don't just assume because they started out as a Democrat and with President Obama that it will stay that way as they age."
Fully half of this generation consider themselves politically independent (with 27% Democratic and 17% Republicans). That's a significantly higher level of political independence than Generation X at 39%, Baby Boomers at 37% or the Silent Generation at 32%.
Michelle Diggles, a researcher at the centrist Democratic think tank Third Way, said she worries Democrats will take this generation for granted. She makes this analogy: older generations grew up choosing between Coke and Pepsi, while Millennials have Soda Stream, where they can create just about any flavor they want. In politics, she said, they are not ideological.
"They might be willing to vote for individual Republican candidates who appeal to them," she said. "Republicans have a hard time attracting Millennials given their current positions, but I also don't think Democrats should be complacent and assume they are traditional liberal Democrats who are going to always support the party."
The Pew survey also found that Millennials:
-See few differences between the political parties. Just 31% say there's a great deal of difference, vs 43% of Generation Xers, 49% of Baby Boomers and 58% in the Silent Generation.
-Are less likely to consider themselves "a patriotic person," at 49%. That compares to 64% of Gen X, 75% of Boomers and 81% of the oldest Americans.
-Support legalization of marijuana by a large margin. Nearly seven in 10 say it should be legal, vs. 53% of Gen X, 52% of Boomers and 30% of the Silent Generation.

Shawn Lacue is too young to remember that 50 years or so ago, just about every boy around his age wanted to grow up to be an astronaut.
When he soared over the bar at 6 feet, 8 inches earlier this season, though, he could relate to their reasons.
"I was amazed," said Lacue, a junior at Cambria Heights High School. "It really does slow down, being above it by just a few inches. It definitely felt like being weightless."
If being a high jumper is as close as human being under their own power could be to reaching space, then the circle an hour around Altoona would qualify as the launching pad. For an area that isn't particularly densely populated, it's churned out more than its fair share of elite competitors in the event, like Janae Dunchack, Tyler Fedeli, Rachel Gehret, Jamir Washington and Joe Thomas.
It would be no surprise if someone returns from this weekend's PIAA Track and Field Championship Meet in Shippensburg with hardware again this year. A bronze medalist last year, Altoona's DeShae Lee is tied for the top seed in boys Class AAA, while Lacue, Northern Bedford's Zach Pressel and Tyrone's Charles Wilson-Adams in Class AA all have jumped higher than 6 feet, 6 inches in their careers.
Wilson-Adams, in fact, is the reigning champion in the event in Class AA, making it three years in a row a District 6 high jumper has come away with the gold. And, this year he goes in as the silver medalist from District 6 after taking state bronze in the winter and placing seventh at the prestigious Penn Relays.
On the girls side, Tyrone freshman Erika Voyzey is seeded in a tie for eighth in Class AA, and her top jump of 5-2 would be good enough to win it some years. In all, seven area high jumpers will be in action at Seth Grove Stadium on Friday and Saturday.
Altoona high jump coach Tom Fox jumped 6-8 when he was in high school in Cleveland. He's developed a lot of respect for this area's ability to churn out high quality high jumpers year-in, year-out.
"There's great tradition throughout this area, and I think you have a lot of really good coaches," Fox said. "Certain areas are known for certain things, and, when you look at the annals of D6, you certainly see a lot of great high jumpers."
It seems like that success might be breeding success.
"The competition is definitely a lot better than it was last year. It's great to compete against other guys that are really good, because it pushes you to do better. You can't go into any event slacking off, because there's always guys to push you. That's what I like about it," Wilson-Adams said. "It's definitely a big help. Those good jumpers keep me humble and keep me focused. That's what I like about that."
While Wilson-Adams is looking for his second gold and Lee is seeking his second high medal, Pressel is looking to improve on fifth- and fourth-place finishes in the event the last two years.
"I think my experience will definitely help out. You know what the crowd's going to be like, and all the people being there, all them cheering. I definitely have to block them out. My experience will definitely help," said Pressel, who is passing up some college track recruiters and will be jumping competitively for the final time before going to Penn Tech. "It does look pretty competitive. Hopefully I can do just as good as I have been or even better."
The high jump is a fickle event. Where times on the track rarely change without some kind of catastrophe, it's not uncommon to see even the elite jumpers occasionally come in several inches off heights they seem to routinely achieve at other times.
"For me, it depends on how I'm feeling that day. Some days, I feel like I can jump high. Other days, I just don't feel it," Pressel, who set a school record with a height of 6-7 this year, said. "Also, the weather conditions play a factor."
"It's a head game. If I don't think I can do it, I'm not going to. But, if you feel confident, you can do whatever you want," Lacue said. "I don't want to think about anyone going against me. I don't want to psych myself out that he can jump almost as high as me or higher than me. If I just think about myself, I won't have anybody to get in my head."
Perhaps there is no event that combines some many different elements. In addition to the obvious jumping ability and the confident/mental factor, there is the speed needed on the curved approach and the timing to attack the bar at just the right point.
"I think it's one of the tougher events in track because you have to put a lot together," Fox said.
Once in the air, gymnastics, flexibility and body control become important.
"Honestly, form and technique is a lot," said Lee, who admits that is the area in which he needs the most improvement. "There's guys that don't get as high as me off the vertical, but they have cleared higher heights than me off the form alone."
Unlike the other key medal contenders from the area, Lee is a relative novice to the event. He was a runner and horizontal jumper - the triple jump was his best event - until 10th grade when Altoona coach Mike Adams saw him dunking the basketball and decided to switch his event.
"I honestly never think about it. I just go and jump over it. I've always been trying to jump and touch stuff since a young age. That's probably why it doesn't really bother me," Lee said. "I definitely made some progress [on technique]. Actually, that's what I've been trying to focus on this week. I got a lot of form work. My natural ability's only going to take me so far."
Lee said he didn't even place a mark from which to start his approach at districts. He still got a season-best 6-7, even jumping on a bad hamstring.
"I think he can be tremendous. He just seems to be turning it on at the right time. He has that God-given ability, no doubt about it," Fox said of Lee.
Surprisingly, Lee said he almost didn't come out for track this year because basketball is his first love. However, an injury ended his hoops season early, so he decided to try to better his third-place showing at states in 2012.
After jumping 6-5 in the district meet, Lee jumped a personal-record 6-8 at states to share the bronze medal with Shawn Johnson of Canon-McMillan. The experience has left him yearning for more, and a dream to be the first Mountain Lion to win the high jump since Fedeli won the second of back-to-back golds in 2002. He thinks 6-10 will be the height for which to shoot to win the gold, but he's been chasing Fedeli's school record and the 7-foot mark all season - he's made 6-10 in practice.
"Last year, I wasn't satisfied. It was a big accomplishment, but I had higher expectations for myself, so it just made me more hungry for this year to prove myself," Lee said.
Wilson-Adams already has been at the pinnacle, but he comes into this year feeling he still has plenty to prove.
"I don't think that it gives me an advantage, and I don't think it puts any pressure on me at all," said Wilson-Adams, who won with a jump of 6-8 last year but will be seeded low this weekend because he went out at 6-2 in districts. "Last year, I came in and I was a really low seed. This year I'm a really low seed. So, obviously, winning a state championship last year doesn't mean much. If I was jumping against myself, I wouldn't care at all, and that's the way I'm thinking. I'm going in as if I'm not the state champion anymore."
"Last year was last year. It means nothing now. It's just whatever happens on that day. That's what I'm focusing on."
Wilson-Adams has been dealing with a torn knee ligament from midseason. However, he's still jumped higher than 6-6 and he's ready to go at Shippensburg in both the high jump and long jump.
"I'm feeling really good. I'm feeling 100 percent," Wilson-Adams said. "It was definitely a concern, but I had to learn to deal with it and to put it past me in order to get my season going the way I wanted it to. Most of it was mental. A little bit of it was physical, but, once I got over the fact that it was there, it didn't really bother me."
Wilson-Adams has been hearing from Pitt, South Carolina, Penn State and Robert Morris but hasn't decided yet about college.
"My first time clearing 6-6, I thought it was the greatest thing in the world. It was an amazing height. Once I got 6-8, 6-6 didn't seem so great. I was still happy to get it, but I was more excited for 6-8. Then, once I got 6-8, I started thinking, 'Wow, I can really get a lot higher.' It's a great feeling getting those heights, but you always know in the back of your mind that you can get higher."
That's a lot different experience than that of Lacue, who edged Wilson-Adams for the 6-AA gold. Lacue, who, like Wilson-Adams has been high jumping since seventh grade, didn't make higher than 6-1 before this, his junior year. Then, early in the season, he set the Heights' record of 6-6 and pushed that up to 6-8 in the same meet.
"I worked a lot over the summer. Every other year I would come out and jump. Lifting and practicing a lot really helped," Lacue said.
Not many teenage athletes would have put in the kind of time Lacue did to improve from average to elite in one year.
"When I was in the younger grades, my height was a lot better for the grade. I liked the sport a lot, so I put forth the effort," Lacue said. "It was a unique sport. I really wanted to try it. After I tried it, I liked it. The first three years, [my form] was terrible. After I finally got it, things started getting better. I never had a high jump coach or a jumping coach, but I went to a ton of camps, and all of them really helped. And I had former track people from CH, they would come out and help."
This is Lacue's first trip to the state meet.
"I'm really excited for it. I'm kind of nervous, too, because there's going to be some top competition there," Lacue said. "I actually kind of like it that I know some of them who are going that I've already jumped against. But I just keep trying to think that I've jumped 6-8 before. I can do it again."
Pressel isn't going by himself, either, but he'll have plenty of familiar faces from his own team: Northern Bedford qualified three jumpers for states, including Pressel's twin brother, Tayler.
"I definitely think having my teammates there will help me. I hope they do good, because that will make me feel good and not worry," Pressel said.
Pressel said competing against what this area has to offer in the high jump could be an advantage.
"It kind of helped me see where everyone's at and knowing what I'll have to do to place," Pressel said.

I guess last years predictions were we were a border line playoff team?
I suppose adding "Al" and Weiss help? Maybe. Injuries aside of course for everyone.
More I think about it I still think we are a border line playoff team.
Helm is also an addition we didn't have last year. Assuming he doesn't have yet another setback and can play this season, he's a huge part of this team.

Four large brass candlestick holders valued at $2,800 were stolen Friday from Holy Cross Catholic Church, 345 Seventh St., Buffalo police reported.
The theft occurred around midnight, according to a complaint to police. It's possible the suspects entered the building using a key, police reported.
Two of the candlestick holders are three feet high and two are two feet high.
