SHENANDOAH COUNTY -- School resource officers teach anything from anti-drug classes in elementary schools to safe teen driving courses in high schools.
Deputy Keith Cowart works in the southern end of Shenandoah County Public Schools as a resource officer. On Monday, he taught a self defense course to sophomore girls because he wants to keep them safe, even when he's not around.
"We kind of give them an eye opening, to make them more aware, of what's going on or what could happen," said Deputy Cowart, "We teach them ways to avoid, and if worst comes to worst we teach them how to physically defend themselves and escape the situation."
Deputy Cowart is there as a resource to students and teachers. He said his goal is to make sure they are prepared for whatever may happen in the future.

Google nabs purse snatcher
Google's Latitude service proved an unwitting aid to police tracing a stolen purse in San Francisco, guiding the boys in blue to the miscreants in moments. The story comes from local-TV channel CBS-5, and relates the story of one Janina Valiente, who had her bag snatched while waiting for a bus. The woman realised that Google's …
g1's as well as iphones
don't forget that latitude is not available in the uk on a g1, so the thefts have a choice of 2 phones to nick
(again) where is the Larry and/or Sergey halo pic?
mine is the one with an omnia in the pocket with latitude enabled and the battery dyeing
I wonder
If the thief can sue google over invasion of privacy?
Could they write a module to detect the act of theft & upload the co-ordinates to alert the feds?
The Real Story
The real story here is that google has had to delve to such depths as employing thieves to promote and come up with uses of google latitude.
No, No, No
We shouldn't all be installing Latitude, relying on a commercial entity for an otherwise builtin service, we should be putting the screws on the mobile operators to stop charging the police for fighting crime!!!!!
IMHO mobile operators who charge the police for information which asssits in crime prevention or fighting should be charged with perverting the course of justice, obstruction of the police and aiding and abetting criminals.
" thieves would just have to target iPhone owners - who can't leave Latitude running in the background."
Unless it is has been pwned and has "backgrounder" installed which I suspect anyone likely to be savvy enough to use Latitude will have done.
s60 download broken
is currently a 404. sigh.
good but have some negatives
good job Google.... but keeping gmaps in the background causes high data usage and battery in google latitude. Moreover if the gmaps is not open it cannot use the Latitude location sharing.
better option to track stolen mobiles would be a software like roblock from http://www.vapssky.com/Roblock.aspx
Better than operator tracking
Actually in this aspect network based tracking would have been pretty useless as it only works to a Cell level which is about 500m in urban environments, telling the police that a thief is somewhere within a couple of blocks in useless, Latitude here must have used the GPS in the device giving a much better granularity.
So the moral of this tale is if you steal a bag head for the tube quick!
Amazing new technology: Seeing
>>She was able to see the thieves progress to a nearby junction, where police apprehended them
Just to be clear: "she" is the sister, not the victim, and by "see" you mean "track their location on google maps", not actually use any ocular faculties to interpret the reflected light from the offenders.
re: The Real Story
I agree - sounds suspiciously convenient for Google that this story suggests the Latitude service actually can be useful. more like a dogey advertising scam to my mind
Let's allow a private entity to track everyone's whereabouts every minute of the day. It's for our own safety!
@Adam Salisbury re. No, No, No
It's the same with those damn garages that charge the police to repair their cars and maintain them. They should have to maintain and repair police vehicles at any time for free. Even better, if the police need a car to investigate a crime or pursue criminals then they should be able to commandeer one from any member of the public as needed. I'm sure you'd be happy for your car to be commandeered; I know I would because I'm a good citizen who has a sense of duty, just like you.
You just wait and see ...
Our overlords here will make it compulsory, once they learn about it. I can just see ole Whacky Jacqui pissing her pants at the prospect of being able to monitor our locations in realtime.
If is for our own good and safety of course.
Look up everybody, look up
Now jealous / psycho partners will be able to buy their "loved one" a mobile as a pressie, install this app and then track their movements all the time.
Just what the UK needs for those few feet of space where we're not being watched by the CCTV.
They can keep it - ditto iPhone loc services
Let me get this right, I'm supposed to think after this bit of marketing that it's OK to make it even easier to track me than it already is?
1 - There is as yet NO statement of what Data Protection laws Google operates under. I said LAW, not "promises on a web page that can change every second". AFAIK it all gets exported to the good ol' we-fight-for-your-freedom-as-long-as-we-can-take-it-away US of A, a la Menwith Hill. Anyone using Gmail should be made to use postcards when writing letters as well.
2 - The gaping hole in Data Protection laws mean that if I GIVE information they don't have to state what they're going to use it for. Sorry, there are already enough telco's too creative and "flexible" (hello BT, how is Phorm going? Got any nice EU letters of late?).
3 - I'm OK with the operators charging the boys in blue for access. That appears to be offer better barriers and pause for thought than any laws appear to have, especially with the current people in charge at the Home Office (yes Jacqui, that means you).
I already coach people in high grade security that a meeting with any cellphones in the vicinity should not be considered secure - even when they're off. There's a reason why visitors to No 10 and certain Millbank offices have to leave anything electronic in a metal box until they leave. At least they learned *something* from their contacts with the US.
Don't let Jackboot Jacqui know, we'll all be forced to use it!

Single Handle Widespread Kitchen Waterfall with Soap Dispenser 4 4Works ok soap Dispenser not so much Had the faucet 6 mouths no problems but the soap dispenser stopped working after first bottle of soap. Tried cleaning. No soap!! October 27, 2014I like the four separate piece design. That is why I bought it. The faucet whistles and does not shut off instantly. It peters out. I had a peerless before this with a high arc that had the pull out sprayer and it shut off in a snap. I don't like the water to run 5 to 6 seconds after shutting it off. That is very weird. I hate replacing this outfit because of the labor but I will have to if it can't be remedied. Blahhhh. December 3, 2013This product was a disappointment. I was extremely disappointed with this product. The faucet continues to run after turning it off. I'm told this is because of the high arc in the faucet. It also makes a clunking noise when turning it on and off. I would not recommend this faucet to anyone. July 30, 2013nice features I like the high faucet for big buckets. Our sprayer leaked, the company will send another one but you have to have the model number. I had my receipt but that wasn't enough and the place they told me my model number was is not there. So I will go to the store where I bought it open a new one and see if I can find it. July 30, 2013

• More News Updates For the full version of the summarized news items above, and older news items not displayed above, go to the UAE public holidays news and updates page, or worldwide public holidays news and updates page, or subscribe to one of our free email newsletters.
Workweek: The UAE introduced a five-day government working week in 1998, but left the private sector to make its own decisions.
• Weekends: Since September 2006, weekends are Fridays and Saturdays, for civil servants. The change is optional for private sector companies.
• UAE International Codes AE and ARE (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .ae (ICANN national top-level internet domain). � Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of UAE information and news: Central Bank of United Arab Emirates (UAE central bank), ASI Hot Spots (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (UAE maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in UAE), and Wikipedia (includes UAE commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).
Observance : Any entry in the Observance column indicates that, in UAE, the holiday may be regional or non-official or limited to certain religious and/or linguistic groups, or begin at a time other than midnight. Note that religious holidays are included only if they are national public holidays, or if the national labour code has specific holiday allowances for employees of specific religions.
Religious Holidays : Public holidays in UAE that are based on certain religious calendars may be subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities, or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious (bad luck). To find out more about these uncertainties, see the footnote below, if any, for each specific religion.
Muslim Holidays : Muslim bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays for UAE were evaluated using the Umm al-Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia which is used in Saudi Arabia and in most of the Persian Gulf States. Holidays may occur a day later in countries outside the Gulf region. The sunrises, sunsets, moon phases, moonrises and moonsets used in these calculations are based on the location of Mecca (latitude 21.42�N, longitude, 39.82�E, GMT+3 hours, no summer time rules).
In many parts of
the world, holidays are subject to arbitrary, last minute, changes by local
authorities. While every effort has been made to present an accurate list of
2014 bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays for UAE, we
cannot accept any responsibility for any error or omission in the data presented
above. You are therefore advised to verify
the above dates with the embassy or consulate of UAE, before planning any
trip to UAE. For last-minute updates to worldwide public holidays, visit

1835 Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) was born. American author, pen name Mark Twain, who wrote 'Tom Sawyer', 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn', etc. There are many quotes and descriptions about food and dining in his works. An example is: "A man accustomed to American food and American domestic cookery would not starve to death suddenly in Europe, but I think he would gradually waste away, and eventually die." (From 'A Tramp Abroad').
1838 The Great Pastry War. A brief conflict began today between Mexico and France caused by a French pastry cook who claimed that some Mexican Army soldiers had damaged his restaurant. The Mexican government refused to pay for damages. Several other countries had pressed the Mexican government for similar claims in the past due to civil unrest in Mexico. France decided to do something about it, and sent a fleet to Veracruz and fired on the fortress outside the harbor. They occupied the city on April 16, 1838, and through the mediation of Great Britain were promised payment of 600,000 pesos for the damages. They withdrew on March 9, 1839.
1858 John Landis Mason patented the Mason Jar.
1875 A.P. Ashbourne patented a biscuit cutter.
1875 A.J. Ehrrichson patented an oat-crushing machine.
1944 Rob Grill of the music group 'Grassroots' was born.
1965 Dale Cummings finished his record setting 14,118 consecutive sit-ups (see Nov 29, 1965).
1983 Alfred Heineken, the president of Heinken (the beer) was released after being kidnapped on November 9. He was freed after a ransom was paid (over $20 million). The kidnappers were eventually caught.

Albeit the name does carry a generic appeal, Medal of Honor: Warfighter definitely proved itself to be a direct target for the games media. Turns out the reality of the game is actually better than the expectation.
If you consider the ratings on Metacritic, the game stands at an unhealthy 53% for the Xbox 360 and 55% for the PlayStation 3. Obviously, this little heat makes it lie on the border that separates a blockbuster from a disaster. In the case of movie reviews, a 50% would still be considered decent. But for videogames it's equivalent to virtual turd. Think of it as another Aliens: Colonial Marines, a much criticized outcast. So that really gives an ugly perspective doesn't it? Well, Warfighter isn't really so bad. The game does render a few rough edges and also has nothing new or exceptionally alluring. However, if games like Black Ops II are constantly receiving high ratings, it would be unfair to be so harsh with a game like Warfighter. The game's single-player campaign is a lot similar to the template used by Call of Duty but there is relatively more skill and superiority to consider.
In all honesty, the Dubai driving mission was great. Although such real-life and personal stories don't go with all the action sequence, it still did a pretty good job by offering set-pieces and amazing cut-scenes. Multi-player mode is the real catch. Apparently it is the same but with solid controls and the addition of innovations such as the Fireteam spawning and a class system that is driven by nationality. When it comes to multi-player, Warfighter definitely stands out from the rest. A distinguishing feature of this game is its scale. Even though Battlefield has great combat and Call of Duty conquers the immediate multi-player option, Warfighter straddles the middle ground just perfectly. It is not too vast nor too sudden stirring the fear that you will be shot within seconds.
The multi-player has quick results and enough exposure and space to implement team strategies. No doubt Battlefield and Call of Duty are potentially good but Warfighter provides the balance that an action packed game should. Fans will be dishearted to hear that another installment to the series is not expected at the moment. It may not be a masterpiece of a game and certainly did have a reasonably noticeable number of bugs at release, but Warfighter is not the game to deserve such harsh criticism as it did. Just because it does not stand out among its rivals and competition, that does not at all make it a game worth an overdose of criticism.

Sony names PlayStation Vita release day
Having already confessed that the PlayStation Vita won't hit the UK this year, Sony today said fanboys will have to wait until February 2012 for their next portable PlayStation fix. The PS Vita will go on sale on 22 February priced at the Sterling equivalent - give or take - of €250 (£219) for the Wi-Fi model (PCH-1003) and €300 …
Been drooling over this since it was first announced. That said, I am still gobsmacked that it doesn't do video, at all. Also, it looks like, as with every console with a gimmick, all the first wave of titles are legally obligated to include as many touchscreen/shaking/rear touch/motion gimmicks as humanly possible. To my dismay, Super Stardust appears to be one of them.
"Crush asteroids with your finger." Riiiight, I could piss about doing that, or you could let me SHOOT THEM.
So wonder how well it plays music, as good as an ipod touch? It's going to have to play games much much better than the touch, otherwise I can't see this getting off the ground.
Games for touch up to £7 most £1. Console Cost £199
Games for Vita most £32 Console £219
So given that it's not half the price, it better be twice as good...
DId you really just compare throwaway phone games to proper console games???
"It's going to have to play games much much better than the touch, otherwise I can't see this getting off the ground."
....You're fucking kidding me, right?
Available for iPod Touch, which has no physical game controls: Angry Birds.
Available for the PSP2, which is a dedicated gaming machine: Metal Gear Solid IV.
> It's going to have to play games much much better than the touch
Can't tell if trolling or just stupid.
iphone stuff are not good games, they are just annoyances. Cheap and repetitive
Games & Music
Music - well we all know that Apple products are not that good at sound quality (see reviews here).
Games - are you kidding?
Have you seen the release lineup?
It's launching with an Uncharted game! Can't do better than than!
"proper console games"...
on a handheld..keep on drinking that sony cool-aid.
I had a psp, I really wanted there to be a decent game for it. There wasn't.
It was ok for watching videos on, a duty it's still ok at.
I suspect you've never played any of the better ios games.
Plus you seem to think that an ipod is a phone? Perhaps that's why you're confusing vita with a console.
Sony lost the console war to microsoft, ps3 lost to the xbox 360, their network was so bad, people prefer to pay microsoft than use it.
They've lost the handheld war to apple and nintendo, they just don't seem to realise it yet.
Console war not over, as if it matters
PS3 and Xbox30 sales are similar despite 360 having a large time lead.
PSN works well enough I find.
Handheld - 2nd place is still very good, and games have you played Motorstorm Arctic Edge, any of the God of War games?
OK, you're a troll. You have to be. "The better iOS games." What, Infinity Blade? Don't make me piss myself.
I also have an original PSP, and while I admit the lineup wasn't as good as the PS2 itself, it beat the shit out of my DS, and continues to do so. Chains of Olympus was so good it's hard to tell it apart from GoW II.
And this?
"on a handheld..keep on drinking that sony cool-aid."
Perhaps you should go and take a look at the Vita demo videos. Yes, that is Uncharted. Yes, that is MGS4. No, those are not pre-rendered. Yes, these are announced releases.
One word...
Try the comparison when you can get Uncharted on the iPhone. Then I'll listen to you :-)
(For the record I'm not a Sony Fanboi, I have a PS3, Wii and XBOX 360, I'm just a big fan of Uncharted, although I wouldn't consider getting a Vita until the price came down a tad, but that's because I'm a cheapskate).
@Ian Watkinson
You don't actually know what you are talking about really, do you?
iOS games are nothing compared to the games offered by a dedicated portable console. Note the use of the word console there - it is something an iOS device cannot lay claim to (that is, of course, until Apple wages another patent war).
The biggest difference between an iOS device and a portable console? Dedicated controls. Driving games on iOS devices, and Android devices are fun enough, but there is no way you can control the game in the same way a PSP or Vita.
To say there were no decent games on the PSP is just plain wrong, I can think of at least one - God of War. You know, they two games that have just been given an HD makeover for the PS3. Personally, I also rate Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops and Peace Walker as stand-out games for this device.
Sony has in no way at all lost the hand held war to Apple - they simply do not compete in the same arena (ignoring the Xperia Play). Furthermore, have they really lost out to Nintendo even? The DS and 3DS are completely different beasts when compared to the PSP. I would personally say they occupy the top spot jointly, based on the fact that they cater for different audiences.
Really, get a clue before spouting nonsense like this.
Sony lost?
How so?
Sony have now outsold the dirtbox360 despire Microsoft rushing it out the door half baked 16 months before them....
Seems the dirtbox360 is creaking at the seams it's already due for a replacement 2012/2013. Microsoft short changing gamers as usual, with a short-lifecycle.
I'm guessing the Xbox360 will lose all support the moment the next Xbox ships, like Microsoft dumped on those stupid enough to buy the Original Xbox...
Anyone buying a 360 right now must be an idiot, as it's got 12 months life left in it at best.
"It has 512MB of Ram and 128KB of video Ram"
that would be 128MB of video RAM. (I know that there is chance I'll be the 10th one to point this out... but it is here just in case).
I don't know about other peoples opinion, but one of things I like about the launch games on the PSVita is.... most are made up of very good games that I would want to play. Plus the fact that it is regional free means I can import Japanese games as well (looking forward to "Dream 'C' Club Zero Portable").
The 3DS had a bad lineup of launch titles, and even though I bought mine 2 months after the release, there weren't that many interesting titles to go after. And the regional lock meant that I couldn't get my fix of Japanese imports.
call me a fanboi if you must, but I pre-ordered mine since June and looking forward to playing with it!
This is a lot of portable bang for the bucks, but the design (they should have gone for a slider, like the PSPGo) and the proprietary storage turned me away.
Don't agree on the slider, as the Go was a monumental failure, and partly because of its flat controls. But I agree on the storage - it was soooo nearly standard Micro SD, but they had to tweak it. Then again, this is kinda to be expected. Nintendo have *never* used a standard storage format, and Sony do have form for promoting storage options no-one wants.
"Nintendo have *never* used a standard storage forma"
My Wii and DSi both take standard SD cards...
I meant for handheld games (and console games right up to the Cubes). They're all carts, and the only reason the Wii has an SD slot is because they were too cheap to give it any internal memory, so it's basically "insert missing drive here".
Yes, I do own a Wii. And a DS, And a DS Lite. And they all *suck*.
I misunderstood you there and do apologise for that.
I agree that the lack of internal memory in the Wii is an issue, as mine has been nearly full for a long time . Despite that, I find both the Wii and the DSi do exactly what they are meant to do and I am quite happy with them (alongside an XBox 360).
Worth waiting for...
As always, you can't rush quality. Look at the mess Microsoft made with Xbox by rushing crap out the door...
From my understanding, the Vita and PS3 share the same SDK and tools, and it's very simply to port games between the two.
I also heard from a developer on the inside, of some really cool interoperability between PS3 and Vita, like continuing games on the move via cloud game saves, dual format releases (PS3 and Vita version). The location based gaming stuff also looks REALLY good...
you are The Sony Phanboi and i claim my five clams.
22nd of feb? f--- that s--- Yahoo Japan here I come (well when it's released) and preferably with an awesome Vita case.
Though I only want it for the name and persona 4
@Ian Watkinson
Seriously, comparing the various generations of the iPod Touch to a PS Vita? Do you understand what the Vita is when compared to the iPod Touch?
Looks like you might not, so just for you:
The iPod Touch is a touch screen media player.
The PS Vita is a touch screen portable video games device.
You may also note that the Vita has more cores than most of the Touch(es) do.
it would seem to me that you are basing your opinion of how successful this device will be based on its ability to play MP3.
Want this
And I am not a huge fan of handhelds - except while I was in hospital and spent hours playing Motorstorm Arctic Edge borrowed my childrens PSP)
This however - it is a must have.
I want this more than I want to find Keria Knightly in my bed begging me to come to her. Ok maybe not that much. Whats the odds that some bright spark figures out how to boot Android on it from a memory stick?
I like your imagination... but...
+1 : Keira Knightley
-1 : Actually considering, even for a moment, if a vita and Ms. Knightley were in the same league..
+1 : Hacked bootloader
-1 : booting android.
Eh, get your priorities right, my man! :P
Sony fan bois
It's amazing how many sony fan bois this seems to have drawn out of their basement dwellings.
They can name one game on another platform and say it's not good, but they are convinced all the games that aren't released yet for this platform are better.
Millions of game sales put you on the wrong end of this argument.
Which end of the argument are you referring to? Fan's can name excellent games no matter what platform is involved, I have games I love on my Wii (Rune Factory), my DS (Phoenix Wright), my PSP (Wipeout, Innocent Life), my PS2 (Suikoden, Wild Arms), my PS3 (Uncharted) and my Xbox 360 (Fable, Halo), I also enjoyed playing Angry Birds on my tablet though all in all games on my PC beats them all hands down.
If you are comparing games on phones/tablets to games on handheld consoles then you have no idea what you're on about pretty much. Consoles get AAA titles with budgets in the millions, phones and tablets get the sort of games you can play through your browser or on facebook, can't say I'd object to being able to play Wipeout on facebook mind you.
You cannot compare a dedicated system with a "it'll do it I guess" system, the iThings are not designed for gaming, they lack certain things like "proper controls", their games are the sort that you play on the train, or when waiting for a train or when a real console isn't available. You want to play Angry Birds, no problem, I'll fire up Oblivion or (soon) Skyrim and when you're bored after 15 minutes I'll not even have started to get into my stride.
I cannot agree with Mr Webb more. I own a terrifying number of consoles, including at least one revision of every Nintendo machine ever made, but I keep coming back to the Sony machines because they get a lot of things right. Not everything, but a lot of things.
who U calling fanboi, iFanboi?
Both the DS and PSP mobile console lines have been chugging along pretty well. Detractors saying that the 3DS lackluster reception spells DOOOOOM to Nintendo and Sony are ignoring the fact that the DSi has sold pretty well, and that one came after the release of the Jesus Phone; the PSP has been selling pretty well during all this time.
Also, some of the titles are PS3 ports (like MGS4) or based on already bestselling titles like Uncharted or God of War, so it isn't like the roster is full of unknown games. It also helps that the big iOS games are also on the PS3/PSP (Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies). Even buying an iToy doesn't exclude someone from having a portable gaming console! Same argument was given with the Wii when the truth was that most people buying a Wii were actually outside the traditional "gamer" market. Sony and MS are still selling consoles.
"Millions of game sales put you on the wrong end of this argument." Millions of Big Macs are sold daily. Does that make them the best burgers in the world? Nope. They're cheaper, so they sell more.
Poor design.
I'm concerned I'll get ear wax on the right thumb stick when making phone calls :(
to be honest...
I would love to dismiss this, saying that in these days of iOS and Android gaming, there's little place for a dedicated gaming machine.
But I know full well that as soon as there's a GTA game released specifically for the Vita and not available on the PS3, then I'll be buying this. So I'd better start saving up I guess...
penny arcade said it all
when the 3ds had been out a few months:
I'd love for the Vita to be a smash, I have a PSP-1000 gathering dust in a drawer. But Apple stole the market whilst Nintendo and Sony were smoking crack in a whorehouse together.
The 3DS was a lackluster because people don't give a flying fudge for 3D, and aren't going to pay the 3D tax optiong for a DSi or PSP instead.
PS Vita might actually have a good chance among gamers.
3DS not that wanted
My children have a couple of DSs they use them a lot, along with their PSP.
3DS, no real interest, But Vita - they are clamouring for one.
And we all know that Sony will restrict imports into the UK like the jackasses that they are.
I'm counting the days...
I'm counting the days... until Sony decides to start removing functionality from the device.
^ this
The bastards...
But I have to admit... It's perked my interest and I'm not, as some of you well know, one of Sony's more rabid fanbois.
soon as its rooted
i'll buy one to deprive sony of income.....

Article Sections
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that disrupts cell growth in your nervous system, causing tumors to form on nerve tissue. These tumors can occur anywhere in the nervous system, including in your brain, spinal cord, and large and small nerves. Neurofibromatosis is typically diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood.
The tumors are usually noncancerous (benign) and the disorder is usually mild. But effects of neurofibromatosis can range from hearing loss and learning impairment to cardiovascular complications and, in a few cases, cancer.
Neurofibromatosis treatment aims to maximize healthy growth and development and to manage complications as soon as they arise. In cases in which neurofibromatosis causes large tumors or tumors that are pressing on a nerve, surgery may help ease symptoms.
Three distinct types of neurofibromatosis exist, each with different signs and symptoms.
Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1)
Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2)
In some cases, NF2 can lead to growths in other nerves of the body, including the cranial, spinal, visual (optic) and peripheral nerves. Associated signs and symptoms may include:
When to see a doctor
What causes neurofibromatosis has yet to be fully explained, but it appears to be mostly due to genetic defects (mutations) that either are passed on by a parent or occur spontaneously at conception. Each form of neurofibromatosis is caused by mutations in different genes.
Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1)
Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2)
Risk factors
The biggest risk factor for neurofibromatosis is a family history of the disorder. About half of NF1 and NF2 cases are inherited. The remaining cases result from spontaneous mutations that occur at conception.
NF1 and NF2 are both autosomal dominant disorders, which means that any child of a parent with the disorder has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the genetic mutation.
The inheritance pattern for schwannomatosis is less clear. Researchers currently estimate that the risk of inheriting schwannomatosis from an affected parent is around 15 percent.
Autosomal dominant inheritance pattern
In an autosomal dominant disorder, the mutated gene is a dominant gene located on one of the nonsex chromosomes (autosomes). You only need one mutated gene to be affected by this type of ...
Complications of neurofibromatosis vary, even within the same family. Generally, complications result from tumor growth distorting nerve tissue or pressing on internal organs.
It's not possible to predict how the disease will progress in any one individual but most people with neurofibromatosis experience a mild or moderate form of the disorder, regardless of type. Usually, serious complications develop prior to adolescence.
Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1)
Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2)
Schwannomatosis complications
Preparing for your appointment
You'll probably first discuss any concerns with your child's pediatrician or your primary care doctor. Eventually, your doctor may refer you to other specialists, depending on whether a diagnosis of neurofibromatosis is made and whether complications arise. For your first visit, which may well coincide with a routine well-child visit, it's a good idea to come prepared to make the best use of the time allotted.
What you can do
What to expect from your doctor
Because some of the signs and symptoms of neurofibromatosis are age-dependent, it may take a while, even years perhaps, before a definitive diagnosis can be made.
Tests and diagnosis
Depending on the type of neurofibromatosis suspected, your doctor may conduct one or more of the following exams or tests:
Treatments and drugs
The mainstay of treatment for neurofibromatosis is monitoring for complications, often by a team of specialists at a neurofibromatosis clinic, and beginning appropriate treatment as early as possible. Generally, the sooner you or your child are under the care of a doctor who specializes in neurofibromatosis, the better the outcome.
If you notice any changes in signs or symptoms between visits, such as rapid growth of a neurofibroma or onset of pain in a tumor, it's important to contact your doctor promptly to rule out the possibility of a cancerous tumor and to access appropriate treatment at an early stage.
Once a child with NF1 reaches adulthood, the frequency of monitoring can be adjusted to suit the needs of the person with NF1. Adults with mild disease may not need monitoring as often as someone with more severe complications.
Surgery and other procedures
Cancer treatment
Coping and support
Caring for a child with a chronic illness such as neurofibromatosis can be a challenge, even if the illness is mild. Greater severity of symptoms can make it even harder. There are a lot of medical appointments to keep, treatments to track, instructions to follow — all of this, in addition to general concern about your child's health and anxiety over outcomes, can be overwhelming. It may help to keep in mind that many children with neurofibromatosis grow up to live healthy lives with few, if any, complications.
Perhaps the most important thing you can do for your child's sake and yourself is to find a primary care doctor you trust and who can coordinate your child's care with other specialists. The Children's Tumor Foundation has an online tool to help you find a neurofibromatosis specialist in your area.
You may also find it helpful to join a support group for parents who care for children with neurofibromatosis, ADHD, special needs or chronic illnesses in general. The Children's Tumor Foundation lists support groups and family events by state on its website. You can also check your local community listings for support groups or ask your doctor for information.
Extended family and friends can be your biggest and closest support network. Don't be afraid to accept their help with daily needs, such as cooking, cleaning, caring for your other children or simply giving you a needed break. Allowing them to share your journey, even in small ways, can enrich their lives as well as yours.

Why did Rossville miss out on 'Idol'?
For weeks I have watched our local girl on "American Idol" identified as the "Pride of Rossville" only to see her supposed homecoming take place in Fort Oglethorpe and Chattanooga. I don't believe she actually ever entered Rossville.
How is it that Rossville was, as usual, excluded from reaping any of the benefits? I am sure that the merchants around Coolidge Park and in Fort O did quite well, while the supposed actual hometown got no appearances or benefits.
You can't blame a 16-year-old girl. Who do you blame?
It's something I will be asking the mayor.
Rossville, Ga.
Many nonpayers do pull weight
I do feel sorry for the poor rich people who have to pay so much tax. But Jennifer Rubin (column, May 13), should give some credit to the 51 percent of the households "paying no federal income tax ... in 2009."
Of the first dollar that anyone of that 51 percent earns, 15 percent goes to the federal government. There is no deduction. Then there's sales tax. Property tax is included in their rent. Gasoline tax and innumerable excise taxes are included in the price of the necessities that they must buy.
Those people get no tax credit for taxes they did not pay while many of the 49 percent that she credits with paying taxes get tax credit for taxes they don't pay.
It's not fitting for your paper to publish such a column that intimates that 51 percent of us don't pull our weight. And it reflects poorly on the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the Joint Committee on Taxation. All of whom should be so advised.
Sequatchie, Tenn.
Why is soccer player allowed to compete?
I was simply astounded when I received my paper Wednesday morning on May 11th, 2011. Front page! "Deportation penalty."
The article concerning Whitfield County soccer player Bernabe Rangel being here in the United States illegally and on top of that, allowed to participate and compete in high school athletics.
Come on, people.
And then, the article went on to state he had been charged with "theft by receiving."
My point is simply this: Why has he been allowed to compete?
Deport him and forfeit every game that Whitfield County has allowed him to play in.
Oh but wait — let's allow him to leave "after" the title match! Unbelievable!
Obama mimics cows before quake
I have heard that cattle know when an earthquake is about to occur. They quit grazing and begin roaming aimlessly around the pasture very confused.
It reminds me of President Obama as he roams aimlessly around the country aware of the economic quake that he has caused with no clue as to what to do about it.
Don't mess with Medicare
Keep Medicare as it is. We do not want any changes and definitely not eliminated. This would be horrible for a lot of seniors.
Rockvale, Tenn.
Storm-blown mail carries eery feeling
I live in the mountains of East Tennessee. The tornado that went through Ringgold, Ga., came close to my home. Several days after the storm, I found a piece of paper stuck in the dirt in my side yard. It was a bill to Christopher D. Black, 49 Friendship Road, Ringgold, Ga.
On Saturday, I decided to see what I could find online about Christopher and discovered that he and his family were killed in the tornado. I felt cold chills. I am very sad for the loss of this family even though I did not know them.
Walland, Tenn.
Obama is just damaging nation
Why so many people think this president did something so great: He killed Osama bin Laden.
Don't you all realize that all he did was OK what the real people had put together for so long, and he takes all the glory.
He is still campaigning.
He never kept any of the promises he made. He is more interested in the illegal people.
Even the Muslims said he never kept his promises after he talked them into voting for him.
He has done more damage to the good old U.S.A. than anyone else.
I hope everyone thinks very hard before they re-elect him again. He's not interested in doing good for the people of the U.S.A. He wants it done his way or no way.
Everyone needs to learn CPR
I am a mother/baby visiting nurse here in Hamilton County. One of the first things I teach new moms is the Heimlich maneuver and CPR.
This past month I had two moms who used it! One mother's niece was choking on some crackers; her parents were frantic because they did not know what to do. This mother did and saved the baby's life.
Another mother's premature infant went into respiratory distress. She performed CPR and revived the baby.
If you have children — you should learn CPR.
If you have parents — you should learn CPR.
If you have siblings, nieces, nephews, friends, co-workers — you should learn CPR.
Everyone should learn CPR. Call the Red Cross at 265-3455 or We R CPR at 553-0040.
Stop the practice of contract buyouts
Appalled is the proper reaction to the conduct of the School Board having bought out Dr. Jesse Register's contract in 2006 and now about to buy Dr. Scales' contract for $260,000 plus benefits.
They extended his contract for two years long before the end of his original contract.
I am not on the inside and don't have the answers, but it seems that Scales has measured up to the task of guiding the school system through a difficult merger of the city and county systems and should be applauded, not run off.
He is criticized for presenting a balanced budget.
Tell me what's wrong with that, something others should learn to do.
Now the board doesn't know where the $260,000 is coming from.
I submit that they are poor fiduciaries of taxpayers' money, and they should live with a man's contract for its duration.
I am tired of the disharmony, feuding, taxes and back-stabbing and think they all should pledge to live within a budget and stop the practice of contract buyouts.
Pretty sure the economic problems were around way before Obama...
The economic quake may have already been around but Mr. Obama has sure done his part to make it quake much much more. Anyone who cannot see that is blinded by the "it's all Bush's fault" rants which continue. All is Bush's fault except the fact that we got Osama bin Laden. It is so funny how President Obama suddenly did all that himself but has had nothing to do with the "pretty sure economic problems around before Obama..."

Kipochi Hopes to Ignite a Bitcoin Revolution in KenyaSubmitted by admin on Wed, 09/04/2013 - 09:17
Across the African continent there is incredible innovation and ingenuity with regard to how technology is used creatively. Kenya in particular is a technology hotbed, as well as a leader when it comes to mobile innovation. Specifically mobile payments in Kenya have taken off in a massive way:
Ever since Safaricom, Kenya's largest mobile-network operator, launched the mobile-payment system M-Pesa in 2007, some two-thirds of Kenya's adult population have subscribed, and an astonishing 31% of the country's GDP is now spent through mobile phones.

It's been said many times before that Valentine's is just a Hallmark holiday. But with the latest e-cards and clever apps dedicated to Feb. 14, Hallmark's got nothing to do with it.
We rounded up some of our personal faves to download this year.
Valentine's Hearts
Even the biggest fan of Valentine's Day likely has an issue with those chalky conversation hearts and their cliche, corresponding catchphrases ("First Kiss?" Blech ). Now, customize your own convo-heart with up to a three-line statement and send away. What's really great is the team behind these digital conversation hearts also created the Emo Hearts app, which allows for such declarations as "Love Bites" and "You Suck" and provides a countdown to when V-Day ends. $0.99.
Love someone, but perhaps not quite enough to deface Mother Nature? Our friends at Country Living save you from having to bust out the switchblade with their new app (for both the iPhone and iPad). You can "carve" customized messages love notes and initials on a virtual tree and then email them to your sweetheart. It's not quite the same as the real thing, but then again, what climate do you live in where you can choose from seven different tree varieties (silver birch or palm tree, anyone?) to make your mark? $0.99.
Why spend close to an hour at Walgreens frantically pulling and then promptly putting back card after not-that-funny card when you can spend a millisecond loading up this site and pulling the first, hilarious greeting from their homepage. (Warning: You may end up spending an hour scrolling through the more than 80 genius Valentine's Day one-liners.) Our personal favorites: "Sorry, the only ring you're wearing this Valentine's Day is a contraceptive in your vagina" and "Don't forget that blow jobs are like flowers for men." The mushiest one in the bunch? "I can't believe how much I'm not sick of you." Awwwww. Free.
The Questions
Your phone provides you with so much the latest news, weather reports, a tip calculator so why shouldn't it also provide you with relationship advice? This app, based on a book by psychologist Dr. Elsbeth Martindale, is a 76-question session to help you work through life's big changes, whether you're newly single or newly committed. So if you're contemplating moving in together or struggling to choose between two potential suitors, you can finally take your therapist off speed-dial. (Not ready to fully commit? Try the 10 questions in the "lite" version for free.) $3.99.
CallOut Cards
If you're feeling a bit more passive-agressive than passionate this holiday, ThatsNotCool.com is the perfect fit. Like someecards, it offers up a variety of e-cards on a range of topics from cell phone trouble to privacy problems. And, of course, it includes a number of notes that send the message that you'd like to be texted a little less often, please ("Thanks for the thoughtful text every 10 seconds") or those that convey a bit more satisfaction with your digitally communicating partner ("It was so satisfying to waste the 12 hours IMing"). Free.

Developments in the ICT landscape have provided opportunities for innovation, collaboration and learning. However, for applied science to keep delivering benefits to societies, a stronger commitment to basic science and research is required, participants agreed.
Scientific and technological advancements have transformed our societies, but for them to benefit all mankind the societal preconditions of fairness, sustainability and sound global governance are required, said Professor Richard R. Ernst at the opening session of the UN Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) on 21 May.

|Vladmaster Lucifugia Thigmotaxis
Vladmasters are handmade View-Master™ reels designed, photographed, and hand-assembled by Vladimir. They make use of toys, neglected household objects, and odd ephemera to tell 28-picture tales of train chases, missing steam shovels, disastrous dinner parties, and overly adventurous cockroaches. Lucifugia means light-fleeing. Thigmotaxis is the need for pressure on all sides of your body in order to feel safe. Together these two words describe the essential nature of the cockroach. Our story concerns the adventures of one such cockroach named Stanley and the events that transpire when he dares to leave the safety of his home behind the refrigerator. Stanley's story is told on a mini-cd accompanying the reels. The soundtrack features narration, sound effects, music, and a wonderful ding noise to cue the change from image to image.This set consists of four handmade Vladmaster reels, the box to keep them in, and the mini-cd soundtrack. The story was written and photographed by Vladimir. The reels and box were designed by Vladimir. The narration on the soundtrack was read and recorded by Scott Sloan who also played the organ music. The human star in the pictures is Toussaint Perrault.

mynook.ru Launcher
From nookDevs
|mynook.ru Launcher mynook.ru
|Korshakov Stepan (aka Ex3NDR), Sasha Nilov
|1.5.3 (Updated 7th august, 2010)
|Open Source
Icons can now be customized, this feature is fully working now. (As of 7th august, 2010)
First, please download the latest version of Mynook.ru Launcher.
Instructions on how to use your own icons:
1) Plug in your nook via USB cable; 2) Open your nook drive (do NOT confuse this with the external SD card); 3) Create a new folder and name it exactly like this: my icons 4) Put your customized icons in the folder; 5) Name them properly (This is the most important step!)
icons must be named like this: <activity_full_name>.png <activity_full_name>_focus.png
For example:
6) Now you must refresh your launcher, this can be done in two ways:
a) Restart nook (this is more time consuming than the option b)
b) Open Task Manager application (in nook, ofcourse) and kill the process ru.launcher.
Then just press the 'home' button and ru.launcher will restart along with your new icons. Task manager can be found here: http://nookdevs.com/NookTaskManager (Thanks to poutine)
You can find the full list of <activity_names> by opening application manager in nook, there should be all icon names listed, just without .png extension. Check the bottom part of this page for the most of the icon names, I wrote them out for you.
If you need some assistance with creating new icons, email the author of this launcher to firstname.lastname@example.com
Information and instructions updated as of 7th august, by User:Atomix (Atomix's customized icons are available at the user wiki page)
Collection of customized icons.
Install it
adb install ru.mynook.launcher.apk
If you want to use mynook.ru Launcher as a default one and avoid auto-booting B&N launcher, upload hacked Home.apk to our nook (NOTE: This causes problems on 1.5.0, B&N registration will reset on boot):
adb push Home.apk /system/app/
Editing Launcher Items
To show the launcher editor controls, touch any individual icon and hold for a couple seconds. The "+" icon displays all icons not present in your launcher. Selecting one will add it to your launcher. The "trashcan" icon removes the selected item from your launcher. The left and right arrows move the selected item one place to the left and right, respectively. The "x" icon hides the controls
Built in Icons
PSD template
PSD template for creating your own icons set + template for developers — coming soon. Wait please!
Icon names
These names are needed if you want to use your own customized icons (see upper part of the page on how to use customized icons) Alternatively, you can find those names yourself by opening application manager in nook or by opening the launcher.apk file using winzip or winrar and there are all the icons with their full names. I suggest you to use those icons as a reference material, especially to get the correct size for customized icons.

It worked nice. Took a few mins to get on. Just a few air bubbles. Not bad. Love it
I was skeptical about how well this screen protector would work. Surprisingly, this is one of the better ones. It comes with a squeegie and it helps remove the bubbles. Good product. Would recommend.
The screen savor works as it should. I would purchase them again.

Written by Steve Threndyle
Architectural controls for second-home developments are virtually a standard practice at golf courses and ski resorts now. It's interesting to note that one of the most unique examples of having vacation homes adhere to specific guidelines is right here at Silver Star Mountain Resort.
Over the past two decades, Silver Star has become renowned as much for its unique Victorian architectural design as it has for its ski runs, snow conditions, or family programs. The Knoll area consists of 200 family homes, all of them built along a Victorian theme.
Back when both the Village and the Knoll were being planned, the idea was to come up with something that was different than Whistler or Sun Peaks, according to Eric Young, the design coordinator for the Knoll. Since Silver Star had in fact been a working mine at the turn of the century, it was easy to tie in the 'mining town' theme with the history of the area. Interestingly, the Village architecture (which was originally 'Wild West') morphed into the 'mining theme' once local businesses saw how popular the Victorian houses on the Knoll were with buyers and guests.
Young says, "On November 21, 1990, the Knoll's Declaration of the Building Scheme was agreed to and was set into place. The Declaration of Building Scheme is only related to the exterior of the building. The document is in essence a perpetual contract – the lift company (original owners of Silver Star) told developers that they and whomever they sold to had to agree to these conditions. The design coordinator is the front person that builders and developers went to."
Young says, "We didn't want each house to look the same – we wanted builders to have some creative leeway with it." Design flourishes such as turrets, gables, and scrolling contribute to what many people call 'gingerbread house' architecture. Shingling under the windows and in gables was very common in Victorian times, and many of the Knoll houses feature this as well. Each building had to be painted in three or more colours, and as you can see, bright pastels dominate. Many of the houses have flat roofs, so the building code had to ensure that these houses could be built to structurally withstand significant snow loads.
In both the Village and on the Knoll, the brightly-painted storefronts and exteriors are uplifting to both locals and guests alike during the snowy, overcast days of winter. Indeed, this is consistent with mining communities across North America which flourished in the late 1800s – their buildings were colourful to lift the spirits of the miners and townsfolk.
Guests are welcome to get onto the free bus that circles the Knoll and services houses in this unique area – you won't find a more colourful mountain neighborhood anywhere in North America!

They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

This was taken in Eastern Montana around 1927-29. Mary, my grandmother riding the beaver, was born in 1924. Not absolutely sure of her age in the photo. Aunt Del is hanging out hamming it for the photo.
This photo would have been taken in Montana at a log cabin in the hills. These folks (and my father as well)would have been trappers and cattle ranchers. The photo would be showing off the nice beaver pelt as well as the cute daughters. So, yes, I am sure "bucky" is dead. Beaver, both then and now, is used to make fine felt, particularly for hats and was in great demand in the 1920s.
I decided to look at my post again, as my Aunt Del passed away today and oddly enough, her bother Bud died today as well.
Is Bucky dead? (in the photo, I mean.)
playing "fetch" with the beaver.
Not only would there be the wait for the poor thing to find the stick, you couldn't be sure how much of it you'd have left on his return.
