A rare chance to ride through old-growth trees
The only problem with mountain biking through jaw-dropping redwood giants is keeping your eyes on the trail.
One of the only sections of old-growth redwoods open to mountain biking is the Last Chance section of the Coastal Trail south of Crescent City.
"It's one of the few places you can ride your bike and see lots of old-growths and rhododendrons," said Rachel McCain of Redwood National and State Parks.
Most of the trail follows an old section of Highway 101 that was used
from 1919 to 1930 until landslides on the cliffs south of Enderts Beach
forced 101 to its current route. You can still see white street-lines
and sewer grates on some parts of the old highway.
There are two ways to approach this redwood ride: the easy way and
the hard way.
The hard way is more than seven miles, requiring two cars, a steep
3/4 mile uphill (where I usually walk my bike), and a
1,000-vertical-foot downhill over a mile span that is very rocky and
extreme at points.
For the adrenaline junkies drawn to that intense drop, two cars are
needed for a seven-mile, one-way ride. Park one car at Crescent Beach
Overlook or at the bottom of the hill on Enderts Beach Road if you want
to cruise down the paved hill to finish the ride.
The trailheads are the same for both the easy and hard routes: drive
south on 101 and park at one of the small turnouts at mile marker 15.6
on Highway 101 just south of the Damnation Creek Trailhead. On the west
side of the highway, just before the road heads inland, you will find a
gate that marks the beginning of the old highway.
Safer and more spacious parking at the Damnation Creek trailhead will
also lead to the old highway portion of the Coast Trail, but you have
to walk your bike down a half-mile section of the trail and you miss out
on about a mile of old highway/redwood biking.
Depending on which trailhead you choose, the Coastal Trail offers
three to four miles of relatively flat mountain biking through towering
coastal redwoods and soon-to-be flowering rhododendrons.
This could be an out-and-back trail of about six to eight miles,
without any steep drops or climbs, but for the full-ride, pedal onward.
The route remains on the old highway route for 1.5 miles, dropping
200 vertical feet. Then you reach a humped culvert, marking the end of
the old highway and the beginning of a steep climb. This section follows
the landslide that happened in the late 1920s, moving the highway.
It takes at least 20 minutes of uphill trudging to finish the 400
vertical-foot climb spanning three-fourths of a mile.
While panting uphill on the steep cliffsides, catch your breath and
take in the beautiful vistas of Enderts Beach and the Pacific. The climb
weaves through stands of alder trees, since redwoods get "salt burn" if
they're too close to the sea, McCain said, and alders are the first
tree to grow after a disturbance like the landslide.
At the top of ascent you reach a flat ridge where the east side of
the trail is the Mill Creek Watershed and the west flows to the ocean.
After that it's all downhill. A 1,000 vertical-foot drop that brings
you to Nickel Creek Trail and a gravel path leads to the Crescent Beach
Overlook. Keep your hands on the brakes as this drop is very rocky,
often slippery and sometimes crosses a miniature stream.
Most mountain bike trails in redwood parks are converted from old
logging roads in areas which, of course, have been logged, making the
Last Chance Ride a rare opportunity for biking in old growth.
For more information on trails within redwood parks, visit
nps.gov/redw/planyourvisit/brochures.htm and click on "Bicycling" or
pick up a brochure from any Redwood parks visitor center.

Canal Corporation And Partners Kick Off 2nd Annual Canal Splash!
New York State Canal Corporation Director Carmella R. Mantello today joined representatives from the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, Parks & Trails New York, State and local officials and community organizers at Mabee Farm Historic Site in Rotterdam Junction, Schenectady County, to kick off the 2nd annual Canal Splash!
Canal Splash! is a weekend-long celebration of the history, culture, recreational appeal and beauty of the New York State Canal System, the Canalway Trail and the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor. The three-day, multi-location celebration takes place August 10-12, 2007 and features 100 activities including nature walks, educational exhibits, boating events and races, musical performances and tours.
Director Mantello said, "The Canal Corporation is pleased to partner with the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor and Parks & Trails New York to make this year's Canal Splash! even bigger and better than last year. The Second Annual Canal Splash! has something for the whole family to enjoy. With 100 events and activities planned throughout the upcoming weekend, residents and visitors are encouraged to join in the festivities and help celebrate the many recreational, historical and cultural assets available throughout the Canalway Corridor."
Frank Dean, Executive Director, Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, said, "We are proud to help promote the many events taking places in communities all across the state. Enjoying and exploring the Erie Canalway at Canal Splash! goes hand in hand with protecting this nationally-significant part of our heritage."
Robin Dropkin, Executive Director of Parks & Trails New York said, "The New York State Canal System offers so much to see and do, from boating to bicycling to visiting the many and varied museums and historic sites. The Canal Splash offers a fun sampling of the many activities possible along the canals, and will surely inspire many return visits."
The Mabee Farm Historic Site is hosting one of the many Capital Region events planned for the August 10-12 Canal Splash!. The Mabee Farm Historic Site, located directly on the Erie Canal, is the oldest standing home in the Mohawk Valley, and one of the oldest farms in New York State. In 1993, the Schenectady County Historical Society was given the site and has continued to develop the farm site as a museum and educational center for the community and holds Colonial events, workshops, tours and educational programs which reflect the historical significance of this early Mohawk River farmstead. On August 10-11, the public can tour the site from 10:00am – 4:00pm at a cost of $3.00 per person.
State Senator Hugh T. Farley said, "The Mabee Farm is a perfect site for this event launching the Canal Splash! weekend. Today, our waterway system is a rich recreational and environmental resource. But, as this oldest standing homestead in the Mohawk Valley testifies, our rivers and canals defined the commerce and culture of New York from the very beginning. I commend Director Mantello, the Canal Corporation, and all of their partners for continuing and expanding this diverse and exciting celebration."
State Assemblyman George Amedore said, "As a newly elected assemblyman, I look forward to building partnerships with the hardworking men and women who have made the Canal Splash! celebration possible. I commend the Canal Corporation and all their partners for the wonderful work they have done to celebrate our local heritage, and I am honored to join them in launching the Canal Splash! weekend."

Our drill sergeant keeps pushing and pushing us. He sometimes goes over board but he just wants us to become great soldiers. The other day, he rushed in our break room, flipped the table in which we were playing cards on and told us we were to get our prostates checked. We all had to drop our pants as he slowly inserted his fingers in our assholes. Later that week he had us partake in a sausage sucking competition. Then as a "prize," he made us fuck each other. We fucked each other all over our lunch room, meanwhile our drill sergeant was taking it in the ass from his second in command.

How to "rejoin" regions?
Tue, 2007-07-24 15:32
I have this one guitar track where a sustaned note sounds slightly out of tune at the end, so I splitted out the out of tune bit, splitted off that one note, and stretched it to the correct lenght. So now I have three regions in that track, but I want them to be one again. Is this possible? I checked out the editing options, but couldn't find anything. Also the manual doesn't seem to mention a way to do this.
Wed, 2007-07-25 02:57#1
The ability to join regions is a planned feature.
Currently, all you could do is to bounce the 3 regions to another track. Don't bother with that if you don't intend to move that section around much, though.
Wed, 2007-07-25 11:30#2
Thanks for your answer. I'll just leave it in three parts then.

Registration dates are now available for the Fall 2017 soccer season at Registration Dates. Our online portion of the registration is changing a bit, and we will provide that information as soon as its available.
AYSO is structured by Regions, Areas and Sections. Our local region (Loudon County) is called Region 325. Each Region is run by a volunteer Regional Commissioner and a volunteer Regional Board. Recently, our regional board lost several key volunteers and our Spring 2015 season was in jeopardy. However, our past Regional Commissioner, Erica Ammons graciously agreed to temporarily serve as Regional Commissioner, and she convinced several other "old-timers" to help. But, our region desperately needs volunteers to fill key positions. Please consider volunteering to serve on the Regional Board. Loudon County AYSO needs you!
Please contact our Regional Commissioner to volunteer at: email@example.com
AYSO has seven required Board positions. Key positions that need to be filled include:
Regional Commissioner - Leads the Region and its Regional Board. They consider the needs of their community in providing a vibrant, growing Region ensuring as many players as possible get the AYSO experience. Their role includes overseeing strategy, finances, volunteer recruitment, scheduling, policies and procedures, growth and most of all, making soccer fun for the players.
Registrar - Plans and carries out the annual registration of all players including choosing sign-up locations, coordinating on-site and gathering applications and fees.
Treasurer - Handles the financial activity of the Region, and its paperwork, including registration collection and recording, savings, paying bills and deposits.
Safety Director - Applies safety requirements and oversees maintenance to all soccer equipment, nets, fields and facilities.
Coach Admin - Leads the Region's volunteer coaching program.
Referee Admin - Implements the AYSO National Referee Program at the Region level, including implementing training and development, certification and more.
CVPA - Plans and implements the annual registration of all Region volunteers. They follow the guidelines of the Safe Haven® program including gathering applications for volunteer positions, screening applicants and upholding state laws that protect children.
Detailed position descriptions are available on the Volunteer Positions page.

Capt. Nichola Goddard's name will live on in the walls of a new Calgary school, one of four opening this year.
The Calgary Board of Education approved the names of four new schools, expected to open in September, including one with the moniker Captain Nichola Goddard School, chosen in honour of the Calgary soldier killed in Afghanistan in 2006.
Her mother Sally Goddard said the school's name will serve as a lasting legacy for her daughter, the first female Canadian soldier killed in combat in Afghanistan.
"We are thrilled to have that kind of memorial," she said from her Charlottetown, PEI home.
"It will be a living tribute to her."
She said her daughter wanted to serve to help pave the way for others to rebuild the country, including her father Tim, University of Calgary professor emeritus and former vice provost international who is currently in Afghanistan with professor Jim Paul working on a $10-million project to establish a teacher accreditation system.
"It's a fitting memorial — it is lovely," Sally said.
In a release, the Calgary Board of Education said "Goddard believed that her service would prepare the way for others to build a better life, specifically through education."
Captain Nichola Goddard School will accommodate Grades 4 to 9 students in Panorama Hills.
The board also approved the names of Nose Creek School, in Coventry Hills and Country Hills Village, and Twelve Mile Coulee School in Tuscany, both serving students in Grades 4 to 9.
Ted Harrison School, named after one of Canada's most popular artists who has also written and illustrated children's books, will accommodate students in Grades 5 to 9 in Taradale.

We would like to applaud all members of TEAM USO who participated in the Marine Corps Marathon and 10k yesterday. It truly was an amazing day and your support of our troops and their families is to be commended. Altogether the team raised over $34,000, with 36 runners participating.
We'd also like to send a big thank you to all who came out to support the runners. We know they wouldn't have made it through 6.2 or 26.2 miles without family and friends cheering them on. And we're already looking forward to doing it all over again next year!
Check out more photos from the day on TEAM USO's Facebook page. If you are interested in joining TEAM USO and running the Marine Corps Marathon in 2011 please email firstname.lastname@example.com. TEAM USO registration for the marathon and 10K will open in early 2011 and we are always looking for new teammates. Hope to see you out there!

Nearly 4 percent of infants in the United States are born moderately premature (30 to 34 weeks gestation). These infants tend to suffer more significant health problems in the hospital after birth than full-term infants (37 weeks or greater), according to a new study. Researchers found that nearly 46 percent of moderately premature infants received assisted ventilation after birth, and 3 percent still required supplemental oxygen at 36 weeks. Within 3 months of discharge, 11 percent of these infants were readmitted to the hospital. Hospital readmission was more likely among male infants and those with chronic lung disease.
In a study supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS10131), researchers analyzed health outcomes of 850 moderately premature infants born at 10 hospitals in California and Massachusetts from 2001 to 2003. (Admission to the neonatal intensive care unit is mandatory for all babies born at less than 35 weeks gestation at these 10 hospitals.) They also examined responses to telephone interviews with 677 families of the infants 3 months after hospital discharge.
The study did not include a comparison group of full-term infants. However, the 45.7 out of 1,000 moderately premature infants in this study who received assisted ventilation is more than 4 times the 10.4/1,000 rate other studies have found in term infants. Also, pneumothorax rates have been reported in full-term infants as 0.17 to 0.70/1,000 live births compared with 1.6/1,000 among the premature infants in this study. Meningitis rates were also higher among this group than have been reported in full-term infants. Also of note, a birthweight of 2,000 g (about 4.5 lbs) or more did not protect these moderately premature infants against the need for assisted ventilation or hospital readmission. Thus, babies whose weight might lead many clinicians to consider them to be "big preemies" nonetheless experience considerable health problems, note the researchers. They suggest that treatment guidelines not group all babies less than 37 weeks gestation into a single category.
See "Unstudied infants: Outcomes of moderately premature infants in the NICU," by Gabriel J. Escobar, Marie C. McCormick, John A. Zupancic, and others, in the July 2006 Archives of Disease in Childhood: Fetal and Neonatal Edition 91(4), pp. F238-F244.

No one knows I have a brother... HELP
Before my dad met my mom he had a son with the woman he was dating at the time, he wanted to get married but she didn't and didn't want my dad around just for the kid. She pushed him out of her life and my dad moved on. He never told anyone except my mom. I didn't find out until i was 17 when we got a call from his grandmother to tell my dad that my brother's girlfriend had just had a son and my dad was a grandfather. I know very little about the history between my dad and his mom, I think my dad sent money over the years to help out, he was a trouble maker "like my dad". He kept in touch with me and my sisters for less than a year. The last I heard was he was in jail in Colorado I believe, for damage to a car. He got his GED and wanted to become a teacher. I have his name his sons name and his moms first and married name. Anyone experience this? Anyone know how to find a sibling. I love my sisters and I'm very close to them, i want to have a relationship with my brother as well. but i don't know how to find him. I've tried facebook, I've tried google, but i cant seem to find him. My dad wont talk about him.
Just do it! Look him up, send a letter/message/email and wait. Be prepared that he may not wish to have a relationship with you now...or ever. But what's the worst that can happen?
I would love to just do it, but I've tried the internet and there are so many people by his name, I don't seem to have enough info.
Quoting Birdseed:

My dad is the strong silent type and he wont budge. He doesnt talk about him. My mom is trying to pry info out of him. I want to know him. I've seen a picture of him actually i stole from my dads night stand, he looks just like my dad.
Quoting Anonymous:
My fiance has a sister older than him from a previous relationship. His dad broke up with the first woman who had the baby and didnt tell anyone until 2 years ago. My fiance was 22 the other girl was 26 and my fiances two sisters with his mother were 20 and 16. Its very confusing. Also my fiances family does not speak of this girl and they do not want to. Shes lives in fl with her mom and we live in MA. I dont understand why they dont want to meet her but its not up to me.
I had a sister I always knew about but never talk to or met. I got lucky in 2010 and found her on facebook. You might have to pay on a site to find him or higher someone to find him. I am so glad my sister is in my life. We still haven't met in person cause she lives in PA and I live in Arkansas but we talk on the phone all the time and on facebook. We are hoping to meet this summer or next.
I don't know how, but I wish I did. My Dh has 2 brothers that his mother gave up for adoption when DH was 4 or 5. Dh has a few pictures of them plaing with him at a park. I wish we could find them because DH has no family left and my heart breaks for him because he has no family left but mine.
Can't the grandmother give you any information? It doesn't matter how slight it is, it might just be enough to help. Do you know where the baby was born? That would at least limit the geographic area. His age? You have his name so that should help. Have you tried one of the people search things? I know you have to pay but if it finds you your brother (and you'd only need the cheapest options)...
Good luck!
I am really sorry to hear that. (((((HUGS)))))

Google has started warning users if they are about to visit a webpage that could harm their computer. The warning will pop up if users click on a link to a page known to host spyware or other malicious programs. The initiative comes out of a larger project cataloging programs that plague people with unwanted ads, spy on web habits or steal personal data. Google is one of several companies trying to act as an "in-flight adviser" to ensure people stay safe online.
The warnings will be seen by anyone using the search engine who clicks on a link to a site identified as harmful by the Stop Badware coalition. Google, PC maker Lenovo and Sun set up this initiative in January 2006 to identify dangerous software and the websites that try to trick people into installing these malicious programs.

Prosecutors said he recruited non-emergency patients for ambulance trips and promised them kickback payments. Akhmedov still faces murder charges in the July 16 crash. His attorney disputes that he was drag racing.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (KNSI) - Plans to add a southern extension to the popular Beaver Islands Trail will go forward, while efforts to lengthen the northern section of the trail through St. Cloud's downtown area were temporarily derailed by the St. Cloud City Council Monday night.
The council approved plans Monday to go ahead with alignment and right-of-way acquisition proceedings for a 3/4-mile southern extension to the trail that would run adjacent to Roosevelt Road from 33rd Street South down to the River Bluffs Regional Park at 38th Street South.
St. Cloud parks director Scott Zlotnik said the proposed alignment for the $888,000 plan was the most feasible and cost-effective option of three possible proposals for the southern trail extension.
Council members also approved applying for a $400,000 Legacy Amendment grant to help pay for the project. Another $388,000 for the extension was earmarked from federal money, while the remaining $100,000 would come from the city's 1/2 cent sale tax revenue.
Also last night, the council decided against going forward with a separate 3/4-mile northern extension to the trail which would have stretched from the St. Cloud Civic Center through downtown to the 5th Avenue North boat launch.
Members decided to revoke an earlier vote on extending the northern section after city staff concluded more deals may need to be struck with downtown landowners than initally estimated to allow the project to go forward. Even before the possible new expenses, the project was already estimated to cost nearly $2.9 million.
Council member Nancy Gohman led a vote to nix the current alignment plan, while allowing council members to assess other option at future meetings.

LONDON (Jul. 17)
About 20 Egyptian Air Force officers have been court-martialed as a result of a daylight reconnaissance flight by two Israeli Mirage Jet fighters, it was reported here today from reliable sources in Egypt. The sources said that the reconnaissance action took place about 10 days ago when the fighters penetrated Egypt's Soviet-supplied air defense network between the Suez Canal and Cairo. Scores of eyewitnesses were said to have seen the Mirages swoop between the Cairo International Airport and a nearby military field before heading back to Israel.
The Egyptian Air Force and ground defense made no apparent attempt to stop them, according to some reports. But others, which could not be confirmed, said that one Egyptian MIG fighter gave chase. The court-martial showed how gravely Egypt regarded the incident, the sources said.


text: Culture 16 April 2012 Reviews round-up The critics' verdicts on Irvine Welsh, Sam Harris and George Dyson. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Skagboys by Irvine Welsh Skagboys examines how Welsh's original Trainspotting anti-heroes - Renton/Rent Boy, Simon/Sick Boy, Danny/Spud, Frank/Begbie, Tommy et al - succumbed to heroin, or "skag". Theo Tait, writing in the Guardian, is critical of Welsh's "rehashing" of his original masterpiece: "the reader has a vivid sense of a great talent tamely revisiting his glory days". Moreover, "Skagboys is also just too long: it essentially goes over the same ground as Trainspotting, but it's about three times the size". Yet, Tait concedes, "there are many unforgettable episodes, such as the visit to a squalid shooting gallery, where one large hospital syringe passes round the room from junky to junky, like the angel of death. Even at his weakest, Welsh performs the mysterious feat of making you think that his characters are real". The Telegraph's Keith Miller is unconcerned by the repetitive nature of Welsh's prequel: "With such a crew, anybody would be hard pressed not to repeat themselves a bit". Likewise, Arifa Akbar writing in the Independent suggests, "the success of Skagboys comes from its similarities to Trainspotting. It offers more of the same, though excellently constructed more of the same". "It can't have been easy", he notes, "for Welsh to colour in the lives of characters created nearly two decades ago, and the endeavour could have resulted in unintentional pastiche. So it is an achievement that they retain a sense of authenticity". He goes on to describe their stories, as "filled with pain, sadness, and the bewilderment of young lives going wrong". However, Akbar, too, observes that several of the characters are undeveloped, that they are "characteristically themselves", and "become nothing more, treading water in their roles rather than gaining dimension". He also acknowledges Skagboys' lack of "the political urgency [that characterises] its predecessor". Instead, he praises its "absorbing, energetic writing", concluding: "Its banter, outrage and razor wit sing off the page". The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris In New Atheist Sam Harris's latest book, now out in paperback, he attempts to apply science to morality arguing against the claim that the scientific worldview has nothing to say on moral questions. Jules Evans, writing in the Observer, describes the results as "mixed": "It's a pity the book is so bull-headed, because Harris's topic is an interesting one, and he himself is an interesting figure who brings together the disciplines of science, moral philosophy and contemplative religion. Unfortunately, he seems to see this as a zero-sum game, in which the competition must be killed. In fact, as Harris must know, the great religious traditions have interesting things to tell us about wellbeing, if we stop trying to punch their lights out". In the New York Times Kwame Anthony Appiah, reviewing the hardback in 2010, was also unsure of Harris's argument. "What he ends up endorsing," Appiah concludes, "is something very like utilitarianism, a philosophical position that is now more than two centuries old, and that faces a battery of familiar problems. Even if you accept the basic premise, how do you compare the well-being of different people? Should we aim to increase average well-being (which would mean that a world consisting of one bliss case is better than one with a billion just slightly less blissful people)? Or should we go for a cumulative total of well-being (which might favor a world with zillions of people whose lives are just barely worth living)? If the mental states of conscious beings are what matter, what's wrong with killing someone in his sleep? How should we weigh present well-being against future well-being?". However, he praises Harris's ideas regarding neuroscience: "He says much that is interesting and important: about the limits of functional magnetic resonance imaging as a tool for studying brain function; about the current understanding of psychopaths; about the similarities in the ways in which moral and nonmoral belief seem to be handled in the brain." However, he found himself "wishing for less of the polemic against religion", and wanting "more of the illumination that comes from our increasing understanding of neuroscience". Turing's Cathedral: The Origins of the Digital Universe by George Dyson The Observer's Evgeny Morozov gives a positive account of George Dyson's history of the modern computer, which recalls an "important chapter in the convoluted history of 20th-century computing". "Alas", Morozov goes on, "the book is not perfect. Dyson ... bombards the reader with a mind-boggling stream of distracting information that adds little to his tale. We get to learn of the discrepancy between the British and Canadian war records of Jens Fredrick Larson, the architect of the institute's main hall; the price of oysters served at lunch meetings of its building committee; the price of nappies in Los Alamos hospitals in the 1950s". He is also sceptical about the "slew of untenable generalisations" that result from Dyson's efforts to connect Von Neumann's cold war computing to today's Silicon Valley: "Is it really true," he asks, "that "Facebook defines who we are, Amazon defines what we want, and Google defines what we think"?" Moreover, notes Morozov, "occasionally, Dyson makes mystical claims that no serious historian would endorse. What to make of his statement that "only the collective intelligence of computers could save us from the destructive powers of the weapons they had allowed us to invent"?". Yet overall he praises Dyson's effort as "engrossing and well-researched". In the Telegraph Manjit Kumar is also concerned about the amount of jargon in Dyson's offering, "faced with the tricky task of balancing technical details with keeping the narrative accessible for the non-computer buff, Dyson ends up probably not giving enough detail to satisfy the aficionado but too much for the lay reader". However, Kumar acknowledges the "years of research and writing have enabled him to bring to life a myriad cast of extraordinary characters each of whom contributed to ushering in today's digital age". "Dyson," Kumar notes, "has done the difficult job of reminding us of how much we owe [Neumann and Turing] and how far we have come in such a short time". › French presidential election: runners and riders The jacket illustration for Irvine Welsh's Skagboys.

Viral warts CMENext
Created 2009.
Learning objectives
- Identify and manage viral warts.
Clinical features
Viral warts are benign proliferations of the skin and mucosa caused by infection with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV); more than 150 subtypes of the DNA virus are known. Viral warts are particularly common in childhood (affecting about 15% of school children) but may arise at any age. They are spread by direct contact or autoinoculation with a latency of weeks to years. They are frequently painful and they cause significant embarrassment.
Characteristically they are hyperkeratotic 'verrucous' papules. The keratinocyte proliferation by basal cells is driven by viral replication within the granular layer of the epidermis.
Subtypes favour particular sites, but any wart can appear at any site. They include:
- Common warts (verruca vulgaris, HPV types 2 and 4): hard papule with dry surface most often on hands and knees.
- Butcher's warts (HPV 7): 'cauliflower'-type, most common in meat handlers.
- Filiform warts: long thin lesion most often on face
- Palmoplantar warts (myrmecia, HPV type 1): round horny deep painful nodules, most often on weight-bearing sites
- Mosaic warts: closely grouped, generally presenting as relatively asymptomatic plantar warts
- Periungual warts: myrmecia arising around nails
- Plane or flat warts (HPV types 3 and 10): smooth or dry small papules often numerous most often face, hands and shins. Frequently koebnerise, for example after excoriation or shaving.
- Genital warts are often transmitted sexually. Types 6 and 8 are the most common to cause symptoms but types 16 and 18 are more likely to result in cervical, penile and vulval intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive cancer.
- Intraoral warts are usually misplaced genital types but those on the lips may also be common or filiform variants.
- Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (HPV types 5, 8, 20 and 47): rare genetic disorder prone to oncogenic transformation
Immunosuppression can result in malignant transformation of warts on non-genital sites, most commonly ten or more years after organ transplantation. Solar damage may be a cofactor.
Rarely, longstanding non-genital warts can cause verrucous carcinoma (large solitary well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma usually found on plantar surface).
Warts are diagnosed clinically. It may be helpful to pare the surface to reveal small black dots, which are thrombosed capillaries. Dermoscopy can be helpful for those who have had training in its use.
Occasionally a biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. The histological features are:
- Hyperkeratosis and papillomatosis with elongated rete ridges that slope inwards
- Compact orthokeratosis
- Hypergranulosis with vacuolated cells (koilocytes)
- Dilated dermal papillary capillaries
- Columns of parakeratosis
There are variations for different clinical subtypes.
Viral typing is rarely necessary or available. It requires viral DNA amplification using polymerase chain reaction followed by Southern blot hybridisation.
In children, even without treatment, 50% of warts disappear within 6 months; 90% are gone in 2 years. They are more persistent in adults but in most they clear up eventually. Wart removal may stimulate an immune response, if not, recurrence is likely.
The most popular treatments include:
- Daily application of paints or gels containing keratolytics such as 15 to 60% salicylic acid.
- Occlusion with adhesive plaster or duct tape.
- Regular paring using a scalpel blade.
- Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen (cotton bud or cryospray) to wart and 1-2 mm rim of normal tissue. The depth of freeze should be sufficient to cause a little blistering and should be repeated every 2-4 weeks on 4-6 occasions. Start gently – some patients have more severe local reactions than others. Side effects include pain, injury to underlying tendons and superficial nerves (avoid the sides of digits), postinflammatory depigmentation, scarring and recurrent warts (often as a ring around the treated site).
- Electrosurgery (curettage and cautery), used for particularly large and annoying warts. Under local anaesthetic, the growth is pared away and the base burned by diathermy or cautery. The wound heals in about two weeks; even then 20% of warts can be expected to recur within a few months. However the procedure is painful and often leaves a scar.
How to use wart paint
Apply wart paint once daily. Persevere for twelve weeks or longer; up to 70% of warts will resolve with wart paints, and removing the keratinised surface relieves discomfort.
First, the skin should be softened in a bath or bowl of hot water. The hard skin should be rubbed away from the wart surface with a piece of pumice stone or emery board. The wart paint or gel should be applied accurately, allowing it to dry. It works better if covered with adhesive tape (particularly recommended when the wart is on the foot).
If the chemical makes the skin sore, stop treatment until the discomfort has settled, then recommence as above. Take care to keep the chemical off normal skin.
If simple treatments do not prove effective, there is little point in pursuing more elaborate and sometimes very expensive options as the success rates are little better. Most dermatologists in New Zealand advocate 'benign neglect' for extensive or longstanding warts that have failed wart paint and cryotherapy.
However, other preparations that may be applied by the patient include:
- Podophyllin (podophyllum resin), a cytotoxic agent present in a resin extracted from the May Apple plant and available as over-the-counter ointment or paint. It is a powerful irritant, contraindicated during pregnancy.
- Podophyllotoxin (refined podophyllin), applied to genital warts for 4-day courses each week for several weeks.
- Formalin 3% solution, applied to mosaic warts for 10 minutes daily. A convenient method is to pour the solution on a cotton ball, and tape this to the warts. Protect interdigital spaces from irritation by first applying a barrier cream or petrolatum. Formalin is potentially toxic and it is a contact allergen.
- Imiquimod cream, most useful for genital warts. It is applied three times weekly for four to sixteen weeks.
- Tretinoin, as cream or gel, most useful for plane warts. It is applied daily for several weeks or months.
- 5-fluorouracil cream, a cytotoxic applied for several weeks under occlusion. It may result in superficial necrosis and subsequent eradication of the wart. Specialist approval is required for PHARMAC subsidy.
Systemic retinoids (acitretin and isotretinoin) are sometimes used for extensive warts. These require prescription by a dermatologist and have mucocutaneous and systemic side effects.
Potential risky procedures by a health practitioner are not necessarily recommended:
- Bleomycin injected intralesionally, repeated monthly. Regulations require full staff protection. Can cause nail dystrophy if injected into periungual warts.
- Interferon alpha injected intralesionally, repeated weekly. Associated with flu-like symptoms.
- Trichloacetic acid 80% applied weekly by the physician, resulting in immediate superficial (and sometimes deep) tissue necrosis.
- Cantharidin (extract of blister beetle), applied weekly by the physician, resulting in superficial blisters and necrosis.
- Contact allergens such as dinitrochlorobenzene (a mutagen) or dibutyl squaric acid, which cause local inflammation.
- Laser vaporisation using carbon dioxide laser, used for diffuse warts or deep plantar warts. This can be painful and leave scarring.
- Flashlamp or pulse dye laser treatments, thought to destroy the blood supply to the wart.
HPV vaccines in development have the potential to reduce the substantial morbidity and mortality associated with cervical cancer and other HPV-associated diseases. Large-scale efficacy studies that are planned or underway will provide additional information about vaccine tolerance and efficacy.
Determine the evidence that treatment of warts is effective.

Ah, the veil of anonymity. It's such a wonderful thing. I have mentioned before that it can be a very good thing, but since I'm bored I'll discuss it further.
The Good: All too often, people make judgments of others based on physical appearance. It isn't always intentional. Sometimes it's not something that we realize that we do until someone brings it to our attention. Other times we realize that we do it, but can't be bothered to care that we do. I'll give a silly example. I was talking to my sister one time about how our father watches those CSI shows (all 17 versions, or so it seems) all day long on cable. I said that they weren't bad shows, but he has watched them so often that I can recite the dialog from most episodes. She said that she likes the original version, but hates the Miami version. Well, there are many reasons to hate a show, but I asked her reason anyway. She said it's because she doesn't like red-haired men, so she can't stand to watch David Caruso. My, how petty, I thought.
Then, I thought some more. Back in my dating days, I rejected several men who asked me out because their eyes were too beady looking. Seriously, if they didn't have big, pretty eyes, I wasn't interested. I judged them unworthy of my company because of the size and shape of their eyes. How petty, I realize.
This is the internet, though. Through this wonderful world wide web, we can meet other people, share interests, stories, and many laughs. We can only judge people by how they present themselves. We get to know others without letting things like their appearances get in the way. We have the opportunity to step outside ourselves and let others see our true nature. More importantly, what others know about us is based on how we represent ourselves as individuals.
What do you know about me? What have I shown you? Hopefully, you know that I am at least a reasonably intelligent person. More importantly, I hope that you have found that I am a generally nice person. I do my best to treat those who have presented themselves in a respectable manner with respect. I show my compassionate nature by offering kind words when someone is having a bad day. I will gladly offer my support to someone going through a difficult time. I'll even try to help get a children's show theme song out of a person's head. I cannot tolerate injustice. I am quick to forgive if for no other reason than holding a grudge is bad for my health (besides, if I try to hold it for too long, I'll forget what it was about in the first place with my horrible memory).
Less importantly, I have shown that I love RPGs. I'm not particularly good at any kind of game, especially not ones that require good eye-hand coordination, so I don't play shooters. I am a self-proclaimed Xeno-whore, and the Xenosaga trilogy are my favorite all time games. I love story-focused games. I don't mind a love story in my game, but I'd rather the story focus on all characters and give everyone in the cast, good and bad, a good reason for their parts.
Does it really matter if I look like this? Or like this? Or even this? *note: None of those images are of me, I got them from Google images searches.
The Bad: Trolls are horrible. I have little tolerance for trolls. Trolls, in my opinion, come in two varieties. The first are the ones who are openly and blatantly hostile to everyone. They may have an opinion that differs from yours, or they may just want to insult you for your opinion without any reason whatsoever. Here is a sample conversation with this first kind of troll: you: I like the color blue. troll type 1a: ur an idiet! blu suks, red is da bets! lololol dumass red-luver. troll type 1b: No, red is the correct color to choose. Why would you choose blue? Any intelligent person knows that red is the superior color. I demand that you justify your right to your opinion of what your favorite color is! The second type that I classify as trolls will do anything, especially things that are annoying, to get attention. They will type like apes on amphetamines, post multiple times in a short period begging for a response from anyone, and often make up sob stories to garner attention.
These trolls would not be very likely to get away with their behavior in a face-to-face environment. They are rude, crass, and love to annoy people. People who behave like that tend to find that many people are willing to make a very physical point that such behavior is unacceptable. In all honestly, though, I somehow doubt that most trolls are as trollish in person. As in the good, I think it's possible, maybe even likely, that some trolls are just trying to step outside themselves and be different than what they really are. They know that behaving like that would get their butts kicked, and they're too weak to fight their way out of a wet paper bag. Maybe they are bullied themselves. Maybe their parents simply failed in teaching them very important lessons in social etiquette. Maybe their parents did try to teach them, but they weren't bright enough to understand the lessons.
Luckily, we haven't had much of a problem with trolls here on MyIGN. That isn't to say that they don't exist, because they exist everywhere that people are allowed to freely discuss things. They're just so vastly outnumbered by good people that they aren't causing major problems.
The Ugly: *note: I snagged this from hollywood141's blog.
Our information is out there. Anyone who has ever posted a picture of themselves on the internet has given that image to everyone who wants to use it ever after. As if the point weren't already made, I have no idea who those people are in the pictures that I posted above. I have no idea if they would want their pictures in this blog. I don't even have any idea if they are aware that their pictures are now public domain. If they don't like it, there's not a thing they can do about it.
Not only is your private information that you have voluntarily given over the internet now available to everyone, but a good bit more of your private information is available to anyone who knows where to look. Thanks to the cyber-monuments that people build to themselves through sites like facebook and twitter, not only is cyber-stalking much easier, but real-life stalking is easier as well. Also, since we reveal ourselves by our personalities, there are those who think they are closer to us than they really are (or than we ever want them to be).
Even though we may willingly dismiss certain boundaries (shape, size, color) in favor of truly getting to know who a person is, there are other boundaries which disappear that we still need. In real life, it's not so easy to approach another person. It could be that distance is a factor. It could be that whenever seen, the other person is too busy or distracted to reasonably approach. In real life it's easier to see that there is a time and place for most things. Unless someone comes to you asking you to put a spell on them, it is never the right time nor place to ask for a lock of their hair.

"If you are frustrated by hard boiled eggs which are difficult to peel, try steaming them instead of boiling. No vinegar, no timing issues. Just steam for your normal boiling time, they come out perfect, even very fresh eggs which are the worst to peel. I found this recipe on Backyard Chickens and figured if anybody knew how to boil eggs they would."
Perfect Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs
0 recipe photos
- Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water.
- Place your steamer in the saucepan.
- Poke a small hole in the large end of each egg. A pushpin or small screw works well but you can twist the end of a small knife into the shell carefully to make the hole. I've even forgotten about the hole, it still works.
- Put the saucepan on a medium-high heat, when the water comes to a boil, turn down to just above a simmer.
- Start timing from when you turn on the heat. I like 18 minutes.
- Cool in pan or under running water.

The National Wildlife Federation is launching a new TV series and it will have the pre-school crowd going wild. Wild Animal Baby Explorers, the first-ever TV offering for kids from NWF, premiers on public television across the country the first week of October with it's entertaining combination of lovable 3D animated characters and high-def live-action footage.
The show captivates young viewers by taking them on adventures, by land and by sea, teaching them about nature and creatures big and small. There's a mystery to solve in each 30 minute episode, inspiring kids to explore the mysteries of nature in their own backyard or playground. And all the while, the audience is developing an appreciation for the great outdoors, something kids might lose if they don't get outside to play on a regular basis.
The feathered and furry animated stars of the show are: Benita the Beaver, always eager to learn; Skip the Rabbit, always up for a new discovery; Izzy the Owl, always curious; Sammy the Skunk, always silly; and Sally the Salamander, always knowledgeable and keeping everyone on track.
This gang of critters explores fascinating features and creatures of the natural world from pandas to penguins, dolphins to daddy long legs, and bears to butterflies. Preschools will learn how some animals deal with itches and groom themselves in the wild, what their unique coloring and markings mean to their survival, and the ways in which they prepare for winter.
Every episode is packed with cool facts presented from a child's perspective. The show not only entertains but it increases pre-schooler's observation, listening and problem solving skills.
Presented by Washington DC-based WETA public television Wild Animal Baby Explorers is an outgrowth of the highly-successful DVD that NWF launched in 2006, called Wild Animal Baby. Both the DVD and the TV show are based on NWF's award-winning pre-school magazine, Wild Animal Baby, enjoyed by youngsters every month when it arrives in their mailbox.
Wild Animal Baby Explorers will inspire youngsters to get outside and explore the wild where they live, be it a backyard or the park down the street. NWF's Be Out There team has created some fun activities for kids to enjoy while they are exploring the great outdoors at www.beoutthere.org. Check your local TV listings to see when Wild Animal Baby Explorers is airing in your area of the country.

It only takes a minute for MediaCom's new chief executive and shameless Take That fan Jane Ratcliffe to convey her passion for a company she's helped shape for the past 18 years. "We have a great culture built around entrepreneurial spirit. If people really want to achieve and develop, this is the place to do it," she says.
But despite such long ties to the agency, dating back to its inception as Grey, she's not one to court publicity, preferring to spend time with colleagues and clients. So when MediaCom was awarded the industry's highest accolade - Agency of the Year - at last month's Media Week Awards, it was viewed by many as the culmination of Nick Lawson's near three-year tenure in charge.
While no one will question the influence the straight-talking media man has had on the business, Ratcliffe, his long-standing number two who assumed the hot seat in September, is already planning the agency's next pinnacle.
"MediaCom has never been about one single person," says its new chief, who first worked with Lawson as joint managing director following the merger of The Media Business and MediaCom in 1999. Almost overnight, the pair were catapulted to co-managing the third-largest media agency in the UK, which has topped Nielsen's media agency league of annual billings since 2002.
"We continue to be successful because we never rest on our laurels and are always looking at how to improve our offering," Ratcliffe adds. In the current economic climate, she knows the importance of differentiating the agency from its rivals as it looks to maintain its position as the UK's leading media agency in 2009.
Such drive and pragmatism is typical of the 40-something-year-old's media career, which has spanned more than 25 years. Entering the industry as PA to Derek Morris in the media department at BMP, she soon won the respect of those around her.
"Jane has always possessed a common sense wisdom rather than the usual business book bullshit," recalls Morris, now chairman and chief strategy officer at ZenithOptimedia. "She's a really strong manager of people, issues and clients. She has a good antennae for problems and the unflappable presence to fix them."
But after a strong year in 2008, which saw the agency build on last year's milestone of being the UK's first £1bn-plus media agency, with a further £150m in net new business, next year is looking less rosy. The loss of the £56m Boots account to OMD will dent the bottom line before any fallout from the recession even begins.
High expectations
Characteristically, Ratcliffe appears unperturbed. She is expecting an increase in account reviews in 2009, as embattled clients look to squeeze profit margins, but has confidence in the agency's ability to maintain and consolidate its existing business.
While it may sound trite, clients really do sit at the heart of the agency. Many big names, including Universal Music, P&G and Direct Line, have been with MediaCom since the beginning and relationships run deep.
But there is still room for potential new business in 2009, Ratcliffe adds pointedly. Adding further fuel to rumours the agency is courting Tesco, she admits: "We're not in a big retail sector and, yes, we are actively pursuing opportunities in that area."
Considered by many to be the natural successor to Lawson, Ratcliffe's appointment nevertheless heralds a new style of management for MediaCom's 583-strong staff. "I'm more personable and people-oriented than Nick," she says, admitting that this translates to "less confrontational". But the pair worked together successfully for eight years and Ratcliffe believes their styles have been largely complementary. She stresses the importance of having a sounding block, someone you can develop ideas with when in the top job.
This raises the question why, in one of her first moves at the helm, she scrapped the managing director role for a management board divided into three units - commercial and finance, trading and business solutions.
Ratcliffe says: "I have experts who are brilliant at what they do and I want them to run their parts of the business. They are better positioned to do that than a managing director."
MediaCom's chief strategy officer, Sue Unerman, has become Ratcliffe's accomplice when it comes to developing ideas.
Impressive record
Another MediaCom veteran, Unerman is among a roster of impressive female senior executives blazing a trail at the agency. Elsewhere, Claudine Collins co-heads the new trading board, Karen Blackett has taken the lead in EMEA, Clare Newman is in charge of econometrics, and Nancy Lengthor leads Direct.
Ratcliffe says: "We have more women than any other agency. I don't think it's been a conscious decision. We train people exceptionally well, whoever they are - we just happen to have cornered the market in exceptional women."
As the mother of a four and a six-year old, Ratcliffe understands the need for flexibility in the workplace and identifies the agency's ability to retain its best staff as key to its success.
MediaCom is the only media agency to have featured in The Sunday Times' Best Companies To Work For throughout the past five years - an achievement that resonates with its strapline: "People first, better results".
Morale is boosted still further by MediaCom's own Meet & Eat cafe and its in-house bar Rich's - both go some way towards offsetting the fact that the WPP agency's new chief executive fancies Gary Barlow.

Loves: Oriental food, especially Hakkasan
Desert island media: Conde Nast Traveller, an iPod loaded with all Take That's greatest hits and a home movie player to watch Mamma Mia
The TV licence: The BBC should not be funded by the licence fee as it is already morphing into a commercial entity. If the fee stays, ITV and C4 should see some of it.
Magazines: I don't think you'll ever get people opting to read a high-end fashion magazine online in the same way they pick up a finely crafted publication such as Vogue or Elle. Such titles will maintain their position in the market.
The media business: The industry has become far more sophisticated in the past 25 years. When I first came to the business, we were brought on at the end of a presentation and trading was calculated in the pub on the back of a fag packet. Now we are at the top table with the client, talking comms planning from the outset.
Fun: We have to have fun. If we don't, we ain't gonna succeed - because we'll just become machines and lose the personal side of what MediaCom is all about.
VivaKi: I can see the potential of VivaKi, but I also think its a bit late in the market. I can see the personnel issues they are going to face, as GroupM went through this.
