Lymphomas are cancers that start in a child's lymphatic system — the part of the body that works with the immune system to help fight infections and diseases.
There are two types of pediatric lymphoma:
- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (also called NHL, non-Hodgkin's disease, or just non-Hodgkin's, for short) is the most common type of pediatric lymphoma. This type of cancer develops when there are too many white blood cells in the lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, and other areas. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is usually diagnosed in children between the ages of 7 and 11, but older kids and adults can have it, too.
- Hodgkin's lymphoma (also called Hodgkin's disease) develops when abnormal B cells (called Reed-Sternberg cells) start to form in the lymph nodes, spleen, and other areas of the body. Although associated with progressive swelling in the lymph nodes (or glands), Hodgkin's lymphoma is often hard to diagnosis because symptoms can seem like the flu. Most kids with Hodgkin's lymphoma are diagnosed around age 15.
Each individual child's symptoms can vary, but common signs and symptoms of pediatric lymphoma may include:
- swelling (typically where lymph nodes are found such as the neck, chest, abdomen, underarms, and groin areas)
- fever
- sore throat
- bone and joint pain
- night sweats
- fatigue (more tired than usual)
- sudden and increased weight loss
- burning and itching skin
IMPORTANT NOTE: These signs and symptoms together or on their own do not automatically mean that a child has lymphoma. Any or all of these could be a sign of something else. And not all need be present to indicate lymphoma or any other kind of cancer.
Our pediatric cancer care experts will conduct a complete exam of your child and a medical history evaluation. Other diagnostic tests for pediatric lymphoma may include:
- X-rays
- blood and urine tests
- lymph node biopsy (taking a sample of cells or tissues for examination)
- CAT scan (which stands for computed tomography) — a painless test that uses a special X-ray machine to take black-and-white pictures of the lungs, heart, blood vessels, airway passages, ribs, and lymph nodes
- PET scan (which stands for positron emission tomography) — an imaging test that helps doctors see how the organs and tissues inside your child's body are functioning
- lumbar puncture (also called a spinal tap – when a thin needle is placed in the lower-back area of the spinal cord so we can take and then examine a sample of spinal fluid)
We know that tests can be scary – for you and your child. Whatever kind of tests your child might need, know that your Nemours pediatric cancer care team will do everything we can to make the experience as comfortable as possible – physically and emotionally. We'll give sedation or anesthesia as needed and offer support and guidance at every step.
Learn more about what to expect with certain medical tests »
Depending on your child's age, overall health, extent of the disease, and other factors, pediatric lymphoma treatment may include one or a combination of
the following:
- chemotherapy
- radiation therapy
- blood or bone marrow transplant (also sometimes called a BMT, BBMT, stem cell transplant, or cord blood transplant)
- medications/antibiotics
- blood transfusions
- surgery
- antibiotics
At Nemours, we know that getting a cancer diagnosis can be very frightening and overwhelming for your whole family. That's why Nemours' board-certified pediatric hematologists-oncologists, specialty nurses, cancer researchers, and other cancer experts are focused on helping not only your child, but your family, too.
From diagnosis to treatment (and beyond) we'll be here to help guide your family through your lymphoma journey – and to strive and hope, with you, for a better tomorrow.

Stem Cell Transplants
Stem cells are cells in the body that have the potential to turn into anything, such as a skin cell, a liver cell, a brain cell, or a blood cell. Stem cells that turn into blood cells are called hematopoietic stem cells. These cells are capable of developing into the three types of blood cells:
- red blood cells that carry oxygen
- white blood cells that fight infection
- platelets that help blood to clot
Hematopoietic stem cells can be found in bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside bones), the bloodstream, or the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies.
A stem cell transplant (sometimes called a bone marrow transplant) can replenish a child's supply of healthy hematopoietic stem cells after they have been depleted. It's used to treat a wide range of diseases, including cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor, and certain testicular or ovarian cancers; blood disorders; immune system diseases; and bone marrow syndromes.
Transplanted hematopoietic stem cells are put into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line, much like a blood transfusion. Once in the body, they can produce healthy new blood and immune system cells.
Types of Transplants
The two main types of stem cell transplants are autologous and allogeneic. The type of transplant needed will depend on the child's specific medical condition and the availability of a matching donor.
- Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. With this type of transplant, patients act as their own donor. That is, a child who is about to undergo cancer treatment will have his or her own stem cells removed (harvested) and frozen for later use. After the child receives chemotherapy and/or radiation, the stem cells are thawed and put back into the child's body.
This procedure may be done once or many times, depending on the need. Sometimes doctors will use extra-high doses of chemotherapy during treatment (to kill as many cancer cells as possible) if they know a patient will be getting a stem cell transplant soon after.
- Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. With an allogeneic transplant, the stem cells come from a donor — often a sibling but sometimes another volunteer — whose cells are considered a "match" for the patient. The process of finding a match is called tissue typing (or HLA [human leukocyte antigen] typing). HLA is a protein on the surface of blood cells. Basically, the more "HLA markers" a child and the potential donor have in common, the greater the chance that the transplant will be successful.
Unlike with an autologous transplant, there is a risk of a child's body rejecting the donated cells. Sometimes, despite the donor being a good match, the transplant simply may not take. Other times, the donor cells can begin to make immune cells that attack the recipient's body. This condition is called graft-versus-host disease, and can be quite serious. Fortunately, most cases are successfully treated with steroids and other medications.
Sometimes, an upside of graft-versus-host disease is that the newly transplanted cells recognize the body's cancer cells as different or foreign, and actually work to fight them.
Stem cell transplantation is a very complex process that may span several months. A team of doctors is usually involved in determining if a child is a candidate and, if so, whether the transplant will be autologous or allogeneic.
For an allogeneic transplant, a compatible donor will be sought among family members or through a national registry of volunteers. Once a match is found, the donor's stem cells will be harvested. Three different types of hematopoietic stem cells can be collected or harvested:
- Peripheral blood stem cells are harvested from donated blood. The stem cells are separated and collected and the rest of the blood is returned to the donor.
- Bone marrow stem cells are collected from the donor's hip bone through a surgical procedure.
- Cord blood stem cells are collected from a mother's placenta immediately after a child is born.
While all three types can replenish a patient's blood and bone marrow cells, there are advantages and disadvantages to each. The doctor will suggest the best type of stem cell for your child's illness.
The next step in the transplantation process is conditioning therapy, which kills unhealthy cells (like cancer cells) to make room for stem cells to grow and/or weakens the immune system so that there's less chance of the body rejecting the new cells. One type of conditioning therapy delivers high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation to kill cells, destroy the bone marrow, and weaken the immune system. Most kids will get this type of therapy. Another type of conditioning therapy delivers lower doses of chemotherapy, radiation, or another treatment to weaken the immune system. The doctor will decide which type of conditioning therapy is best.
Soon after the conditioning phase, the transplant itself will be done through infusion and healthy stem cells will be introduced to the child's body. After the infusion, the child will be watched very closely to make sure the new stem cells are settling into the marrow and beginning to manufacture new blood cells (called engrafting). Doctors will watch for any signs of rejection as well as graft-verses-host disease in kids with allogeneic transplants.
Engrafting takes an average of 2 weeks, but can be as quick as 1 week or as long as 6 weeks. Your child will receive medicines to promote engrafting and prevent rejection and graft-verses-host disease.
Kids who receive stem cell transplants have a high risk of infection because during conditioning therapy and while the transplant is grafting, their immune systems are weakened and unable to fight bacteria and other germs that enter the body. Children who receive an allogeneic transplant have an even greater risk of infection because they require medications to further suppress their immune systems to reduce the chance of rejection.
Because of these risks, a child who's had a stem cell transplant will not be released from the hospital until doctors are sure the transplant has successfully engrafted and the child is otherwise doing well.
Once released, a child needs very close monitoring and follow-up care. School and other public indoor areas may be off limits for 3 months to a year, and other places might be restricted as well. This is because for kids with a compromised immune system, even a simple infection like a common cold can be serious and even life threatening if untreated.
The stress of having a child who is being treated for cancer or another serious condition can be overwhelming for a family. That stress can be magnified when treatment requires a long "isolation period," as is necessary with a stem cell transplant.
To find out what support is available to you and your child, talk to your doctor, a hospital social worker, or child life specialist. Many resources are available that can help you get through this difficult time.

|I get crazy when I don't sleep.
Being alone in the wilderness will take its toll on the character's mental state after a few days. The effect it has can be seen through Sanity, represented by a counter alongside and . As sanity decreases, strange things start to happen: the player's vision becomes shaky, over-saturated, and bright, whispers are heard, and Shadow Creatures start to appear. When the character becomes completely insane, these creatures become aggressive and start to attack.
Characters can gain and lose sanity in various ways. A small animated arrow appears in front of the , showing when sanity is increasing or decreasing. A bigger arrow means that sanity is increasing / decreasing faster. Being in close proximity to Monsters, Darkness, Rain, or eating bad Food decreases sanity; while wearing dapper clothes, eating jerky and Crock Pot food, being near friendly Pigs, and sleeping increases sanity. See the Sanity Table below for a complete list.
Due to the fact that several magical items decrease sanity when used, it could be thought of as a sort of mana that is depleted by magic use. However, having little sanity brings about its own benefits (for example getting Nightmare Fuel for powerful weapons and armor.)

Character Specifics
Wilson, Wendy, Wolfgang, Woodie, and Maxwell all have a maximum of 200 sanity. Willow has 120 sanity, Wickerbottom has 250 sanity, and Wes has 150 sanity. WX-78 has variable amounts of maximum sanity, depending on how much it is upgraded (starting at 100 and can be upgraded to a maximum of 300). From the Reign of Giants DLC, Wigfrid has 120 sanity, and Webber has 100 sanity.
Monsters drain more sanity when playing as Wolfgang (+10%) and less as Wendy. Maxwell's sanity is restored at a rate of 20 points per minute by default.
Wendy (because she loses less sanity in darkness and when near monsters), Willow (because she can negate nighttime sanity loss when near fire) and Wolfgang (because when mighty, fights last only for half the time) are characters which have the potential to stay sane longer when compared to other characters if used correctly.
Insanity Effects
- Lighting starts to become desaturated in overworld and caves. In ruins, lighting brightens instead ( ≤ 60%). Near total insanity, lighting even dims ( ≤ 10%).
- Mr. Skits starts to appear ( ≤ 80%).
- Shadow Watchers and Night Hands start to appear at night ( ≤ 65%).
- Eyes will appear in darkness ( ≤ 60%).
- The screen starts to shake (possibly indicating nausea) ( ≤ 60%).
- Crawling Horrors and Terrorbeaks will become visible ( ≤ 50%).
- The insanity ambience becomes audible ( ≤ 50%). It's so quiet that it can only be heard with headphones or by turning the volume up. It gets louder as sanity continues to drop.
- Whispering sounds begin to play ( ≤ 45%).
- Rabbits will turn into Beardlings, and Bunnymen turn into Beardlords ( ≤ 40%).
- The screen is surrounded by red tendrils ( ≤ 15%).
- Crawling Horrors and Terrorbeaks will start to attack ( ≤ 15%). While idle, the player character holds their head with their hands and rocks back and forth.
- A more disturbing, warped version of the "day to night" transition jingle plays ( ≤ 15%).
In the Options, the player can turn off distortion, resulting in the blurry effect on the edges of the screen not occurring, which helps boost performance on slow systems.

text: Vettel continues flirting with Ferrari 15 February, 2011 Sebastian Vettel Feb.15 (GMM) Sebastian Vettel has reconfirmed his desire to one day switch to the Ferrari team. The new world champion and his current team Red Bull have recently been playing down the speculation about 23-year-old Vettel's career beyond his current contract. But the Italian daily Libero quotes him as saying last week at Jerez: "I would like to be on the podium at Monza with Ferrari. One day I do hope to be with the team from Maranello," added Vettel. "However, I am happy to stay with Red Bull and even now there are a lot of Italians who support me," said the German. Tweet http://Thailand Muddles Well the kid should go to Ferrari and see what happens then. Marko should march him out the door. "However, I am happy to stay with Red Bull and even now there are a lot of Italians who support me," said the German. For God sake Red Bull won you the WDC. f1aroo He's just doing a little early negotiating with RB. Not one word is missed by Mateschitz. Everytime he says he longs for a seat in a red car, Dietrich adds a zero. nersis angel blue Greetings Sebastian VetteL. You are a brave man too, and I'm impressed. each had advantages. remain viable. michael carmichael Vettel is young and talented. If I were in his place, I would stay with Red Bull. The RB6 designed by Newey was the class of the field last year and team dominance became his ticket to the WDC. Of course, a Ferrari team of Alonso and Vettel would be stupendous, but a huge problem to manage. Alonso is no Mark Webber, and Vettel would swiftly find himself on quicksand against a two time WDC who defeated Michael Schumacher, not once but twice. Vettel would be very well advised to stay right where he is for the foreseeable future. I hate to see you drivers make foolish mistakes and switch teams when they have the world at their feet – Alonso's sojourn at McLaren was instructive. Charles M As a Driver Vettel's ambition to drive Ferrari one day is normal for any Driver. Especially, the passion and togetherness Ferrari shows on field are excellent. Ferrari not only for Italians even we at India is a religion. That doesn't mean that Red Bull is any inferior. ALL THE BEST VETTEL FOR A GREATER 2011.

Bench, 'D' key as Bulls bounce back from crushing loss with 101-78 win over Mavs
BY JOE COWLEY email@example.com November 28, 2012 10:55PM
Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich jumps to redirect a shot attempt by Dallas guard Dominique Jones in the first quarter of the Chicago Bulls-Dallas Mavericks NBA game Wednesday November 28, 2012 at the United Center. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times

Updated: December 30, 2012 4:06PM
Suggestions for hangover remedies are vast. Plenty of water, greasy foods, the hair of the dog, etc.
The best remedy for blowing a 27-point lead in an eventual one-point loss?
After the Bulls' heart-breaking defeat to Milwaukee on Monday, hours of Tom Thibodeau preaching "know your job, do your job,'' and "we have to work on improving every day,'' seems to have done the trick.
Thanks to lock-down defense in the fourth quarter and key contributions off the bench, the Bulls bounced back against Dallas Wednesday, dismantling the Mavericks 101-78 at the United Center.
Lesson learned.
"It's like a drill instructor,'' forward Taj Gibson said of what Thibodeau's been reiterating since the loss to the Bucks. "Every day we go over the same stuff, but eventually it's going to click. Even like that tough loss, we've just got to learn to close games out better and never underestimate anybody. We just got to roll over and take it. Like [Thibodeau] said, we messed up, he messed up, we learn from it and move on.''
Not that the Bulls (7-7) didn't have a little déjà vu working for them.
It was at the 2:50 mark of the third quarter against Milwaukee that the Bulls were up 27 points. Against the Mavs (7-9), they were up 16 at the 2:50 mark of the third but made sure they would hold on.
More importantly, three of the suddenly maligned bench players were on the court at the time, with Nate Robinson, Gibson and Jimmy Butler getting the important minutes that were played so poorly two nights earlier.
"It shows you that you have to bounce back,'' Butler said. ''Games come and go quickly. Taj told us, 'Yo, don't pay attention to what anybody says, just go out there and play your game, stick together and don't turn your back on one another, and then we'll pull one out at the end.' ''
The group with Butler stretched the lead to 19 heading into the fourth quarter.
Thibodeau must have been feeling confident about his bench, reaching down to get quality minutes from Marco Belinelli and Nazr Mohammed. Belinelli scored 11 points in 16 minutes of play after logging just over nine minutes in his previous three games played combined, and a "Did Not Play — Coach's Decision'' the last game.
"I was so mad,'' Belinelli admitted of his one-game benching. "If you care about the team and care about playing basketball, you have to be mad. First and foremost, because we lost that game. I just have to come on the court and be more aggressive on defense and on offense.
"Now I have to keep playing that way, keep it going.''
Belinelli's not alone in that sentiment.

Match report
For match photos, scroll to PHOTOSTREAM above left; for match stats, click on the stats tab. Manager reaction below
Sunderland and West Ham United struggled to find the back of the net in a game that left both sides around the bottom of the Barclays Premier League table. The visiting side went into Saturday's game without scoring away from home since August 31 and remain without an away win this season.
Phil Bardsley rattled the crossbar from distance in the first half for Gus Poyet's men, while West Ham offering little in attacking play. The East London club have just one victory in nine Barclays Premier League matches, however they remain above the relegation zone.
Ravel Morrison and Joe Cole replaced the suspended Kevin Nolan and injured Stewart Downing in the Hammers' line-up, while Poyet handed recalls to Lee Cattermole, Emanuele Giaccherini and Fabio Borini.
The powerful Mohamed Diame proved an early threat for Sam Allardyce's side, yet it was Sunderland who could have taken the lead after six minutes. Jozy Altidore found himself one-on-one with Jussi Jaaskelainen, but the forward's low strike across goal was tipped wide.
West Ham had the ball in the net through Guy Demel after 21 minutes, however, the effort was disallowed with referee Andre Marriner having already signalled a foul. After a brief spell of home pressure, Fabio Borini broke clear for Sunderland but shot straight at Jaaskelainen from a tight angle instead of crossing to Altidore. Phil Bardsley came close to breaking the deadlock, hitting the crossbar with a thunderous effort from 30 yards, with the away side on top during the first half.
Allardyce's side finally forced Vito Mannone into action 10 minutes after the interval, but the Italian goalkeeper dealt comfortably with Morrison's drilled shot. The visitors continued to look the more likely to break the deadlock either side of Diame directing an effort on the turn straight at Mannone.
Ki Sung-Yueng forced Jaaskelainen into action at his near post with Sunderland's clearest opportunity of the second period, while Morrison fired wide at the other end with five minutes remaining. Mannone was then on hand to tip George McCartney's goal-bound cross over in stoppage time.
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce: "[We were] not at our best, that's clear for us all to see. At times, we never got the crowd excited and never got enough quality into their box and ended up with a 0-0 draw.
"I point to the one thing we've done well this season and that's clean sheets. We've built our base superbly well and the lads have to realise if you want to take points you need to score a goal.
"It's remarkable that with a defensive record like that we're in the bottom four area, not in mid-table. We all know that the goal factor is the problem for us and we would be higher up the league if we could score more. Creative players were on the field against Sunderland but they didn't play at their creative best."
Sunderland head coach Gus Poyet: "Today is probably one of few games this season that I can say we deserved to win. There are moments in the game when you have to take your chances, especially in the first half when we really on top of the game. I need to look at performance, what we have worked on in the last two months and how good the team is playing. I would like to go into every game with this feeling that I am going to see my team on the pitch."

A minimum of two California football games have been selected for broadcast on ABC/ESPN/ESPN2, the Pac-10 announced on Tuesday. Cal's home games with Tennessee (Sept. 1) and USC (Nov. 10) will be televised nationally and will kick off at 5 p.m. (Pacific), 8:00p EDT on ABC.
Four other Golden Bear games have the potential to be picked up by the network through its 12 and six-day selection slots.
In addition, the Colorado State game (Sept. 8) will be aired nationally by College Sports Television. That game will kick off at 11 a.m. (Pacific) from Fort Collins.
Game times and television information for other Golden Bear contests will be released when available.
In the first five years of head coach Jeff Tedford's tenure, 47 Cal football games have been televised; in the five years prior to that, 30 Cal games were televised. National television broadcasts have more than doubled in that time. Last year, 11 Golden Bear contest were televised. The Colorado State game will mark Cal's first game on CSTV.
The 2007 Cal season kicks off on Saturday, Sept. 1 with the Golden Bears hosting Tennessee at memorial Stadium. After the road trip to Colorado State, the Bears return home to face Louisiana Tech in another inter-sectional game. Season tickets are now available at www.CalBears.com or by calling 1-800-GO-BEARS. Single-game tickets will go on sale in June.
The telecast will kick off at 8 p.m. ET and be offered in high definition on ABC HD.
Since 1997, UT's season-opener has appeared on national television every year except 2005 when the Vols' game against UAB was broadcast regionally by Jefferson Pilot Sports. UT has won its last 12 season-openers.
Tennessee last appeared on ABC in 2003 when the 18th-ranked Volunteers defeated sixth-ranked Miami 10-6 Nov. 8. The Vols have only appeared on ABC 11 times since 1995, but Tennessee has been victorious in nine of those contests.
The Big Orange fans have traditionally traveled well to the West Coast. Tennessee expects to sell all of its 7,500 ticket allotment.
The Vols opened the 2006 season with a 35-18 win over California at Neyland Stadium.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have created the world's largest working brain model, according to a university report. Waterloo professor Chris Eliasmith, the Canada Research Chair in Theoretical Neuroscience, and his team have published their research in the journal Science.
Researchers say that their brain model, called Spaun, is able to see, remember, think and write using a mechanical arm. Currently, Spaun and its environment are housed in a computer. While Spaun lives in a simulated world with simulated physics, the brain model still uses the same processes that your brain uses to pick up a glass of orange juice.

Some of this information may sound repetitive, but here are some of the ways you can make a donation to help the victims of Bam earthquake:
If you live in USA:
The U.S. sanctions against Iran, make it rather difficult to be choosy about the way you help. In short, you can only donate to a U.S. charity that has applied and received special permits to transfer funds and/or supplies to Iran. Sending money directly, wiring it to a local charity with more direct control or transmitting funds to a relative to make the donation on your behalf can all be interpreted as violation of U.S. law and are subject to prosecution. Will all who may do this be charged? nobody knows. But you CAN be and who knows where it may be used against somebody. So, you basically don't have many choices as to how you wish your money be spent. I know this may be ridicules and unfair, but this is not the time to fight the system as urgent help is needed. My first choice still remain Mercy Corps. You can make a donation on-line, call them at 1.800.292.3355 ext. 250 and use a credit card to make a contribution, or send a check to: Mercy Corps, Iran Earthquake, Dept. W., PO Box 2669, Portland, OR 97208-266If you live in Canada or Europe (plus most of the world that has a relationship with Iran):
Nobel peace prize winner Shirin Ebadi has accepted the task of collection of donations and overlooking its distribution. There has never been a doubt in her integrity and you can feel confident she will make the right choices when it comes to how the funds are best allocated. You can wire funds directly to her (even small amounts are important and welcomed) from any bank in your country by using the following transfer information: Name: Shirin Ebadi , Account No. 8080, Name of financial institution: Saderat Bank of Iran, Branch: Yousef-abad Ave, Kalantary square Branch, Location: Tehran, Iran.If you live in Iran:
I am told there are collection boxes and fundraising drives at many street corners, offices and other public places. Once again, I personally would not donate to Red Crescent (you make your own decision) as I have personal doubts about the sincerity and trustworthiness of those at the top that have control of the funds. If you can find a way to get money to those directly involved with the everyday rescue and medical tasks, I am certain chances of fraud are much lower.

Whatever you choose to do, please give generously and put aside your own political or personal feelings. The children who have lost their parents or the mother who lost all her kids don't have anything to do with whatever it is you may or may not like about the government of Iran and those in charge. Tonight in the freezing temperatures of desert night, they need a heating source and a blanket and our donations can buy both. I trust you will do the right thing.
Is there anything else besides money? Every Iranian I know is an Engineer (OK, not every single one, but most). Can the overseas community come together to re-design the city, or come up with plans for earthquake proof multi-family, or single family dwellings made from the available materials, like those do-it-yourself log cabins, or the blueprints you used to be able to get from catalogs during the Depression (Arts & Crafts period). Could people on the ground over there be organized in some way into a guild without attracting government interference? The city will have to be rebuilt anyway, and you know that no matter how many blankets and medical supplies get delivered now, it is just a matter of time until this happens again. I am in the medical field, and my personal plan is to go over and work there, at least for a while. It won't be now, and it may not be soon, but I am moving towards that goal. Money is only the least I can do. Also, while Ebadi's integrity is unimpeachable, I'm not sure it is realistic to think that she will be able to do much outside the existing system. I mean, she isn't going to get in a tractor and start clearing rubble away or anything. I hope her noble impulse to help doesn't blow up in her face. Anyway, it is hard to feel so helpless when they are looking to us for solutions.Posted by: at December 29, 2003 06:29 AM
You are talking about what we can do in re-construction stage while what is needed right now is emergency relief. Get the most help you can out there now to ease the immediate suffering, we'll explore what can be done in re-construction, when we are there. Please don't divert attention from what matters most right now.
I am glad you are going there and hope you can do it soon. As for Ebadi, she may not sit behind a tractor, but you need to trust someone that can look over how the donations are spent and make the decision, and she is well capable of doing that.Posted by: Roya at December 29, 2003 08:28 AM
Can you recommend a charity for Iran that accepts Paypal donations? The ones you have listed require address and contact information. I would rather not get on a mailing list.
Pedram, as an Iranian-American I am very thankful and proud of what you have tried to do about this. Your work is reflected in most Iranian weblogs and sites by now and I just spoke to a friend at NIAC and heard you were instrumental in getting Mercy Corps set up and connected with them as well. Thanks and please keep up your great work.Posted by: Hooshang M. at December 29, 2003 01:21 PM

Wishful Thinking!
Maybe I should think positively and say "When I get. . . " (Don't get too excited, I made this cover on myself with photoshop) Tim and Matt say it looks awful. I love it. This is the idea I am going for. Although Victoria says publishers don't even consult the writers about the art direction for the cover.

SAN DIEGO, July 20, 2012 – The term "photobomb" may have appeared in the Urban Dictionary just three years ago in 2009, but the act of photobombing has been going on ever since news photographers pointed a camera anywhere in public.
Another term new to me floating around for these types is "lens lice." It seems quite fitting as these vid bugs are nearly as impossible to eradicate, and are just as unpleasant.
Add crowds and/or alcohol to the mix as in a football game, county fair, beach boardwalk in the summer, or concert, and it can make any journalist's life sheer hell. I don't know anyone who has worked in television news at any level over the past 20 years who hasn't dealt with this.
Photobombing has risen to new levels with the advent of YouTube and other online video. There are even websites devoted to photobombing. No, I'm NOT linking them. Go find them yourself. Now people around the world can see you jumping up and down behind a reporter during a live shot or see you run in front of NBC's Bob Costas interviewing the winner of the U.S. Open golf tournament while you're wearing a blue chicken suit with a Union Jack knit cap, screeching like a peacock. Mr. Peacock turned out to be drunk. Imagine that. And every time we write or talk about it, we fan the photobombing flames.
WGN Chicago morning show reporter Pat Tomasulo decided to give the photobombers a little taste of their own medicine, some special face time on camera. He calls it "The Pat-Down" and he's been at it since 2010. Earlier this week, he went out to a local festival and waved photobombing passers-by over to join him on the air. When he brought them in to his live shot, they got some unexpectedly embarrassing personal questions about bodily functions, whether President Obama is a citizen, and even vajazzling. (I'm not explaining it here, click the link).
People who commented on the posted video had diverging opinions. Some said the stunt was intentionally mean, and not at all funny. Others thought it was a riot.
Having dealt with this myself, I'm in the "payback is a medevac" camp. This behavior can be especially frustrating when you're just trying to do your job. Most people don't have to put up with someone heckling them in their daily jobs. Imagine someone distracting you and catcalling you from the side of your desk while you are talking to a customer or writing a report for the boss. Try it sometime and you'll find out it's not much fun.
These folks intentionally goofed on the reporter trying to do his job, so they deserve what they get. I wasn't real keen on the poo-poo questions but the birther intro and the Rhianna segment were both funny. The ones that laughed at the joke played on them get some credit.
So, funny or mean-spirited? Take a look, and tell us what you think. Maybe it will make you think twice before you photobomb some poor local TV reporter again.

This is an article appearing at CNNMoney.com and referring to the latest research findings on the toxicity of toys. A must read. One in three toys tested was found to contain toxic chemicals such as lead, flame retardants and arsenic, according to a report issued Wednesday by an environmental group. Researchers for the Michigan-based Ecology Center tested more than 1,500 popular toys for lead, cadmium, arsenic, PVC and other harmful chemicals. They said they found that one-third of the toys contain "medium" or "high" levels of chemicals of concern.

MLB Gerrit Cole Player Update
Gerrit Cole made his strongly anticipated MLB debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday as he closed down the San Francisco Giants for 6.1 innings.
The No. 1 choice from the 2011 MLB Draft, Cole needed just about two years to go from draft pick and top prospect to an effective MLB bottle.
Cole was prevailing on Tuesday, taping THIRTEEN straight outs from the 2nd inning via the sixth en path to his very first Major League win. The Pirates trumped the defending World Collection champion Giants, 8-2, with Cole getting his very first major league success.
Let's have a look at exactly how the flame-throwing 22-year-old fared in his MLB launching.
While the stress reaches some novices throughout their MLB debut and they have trouble hitting the strike area, Cole was painting the corners all evening.
He had not been worried ahead right at a powerful Giants lineup, and because of it he threw strike after strike after strike.
It's hard to take away anything from Cole's command as he was incredible up until the 7th inning.
Generally, Cole tossed 59 of his 81 sounds for strikes.
We understood that Cole tossed difficult getting in Tuesday evening, yet few people valued simply exactly how hard he might really toss.
Cole totally overpowered concoctions, blowing them away with his stuff and hitting 99 Miles Per Hour at his top.
Few rookies could stand the stress from merely jumping in the big leagues during their first start, yet Cole overcame that and the additional stress that originated from allowing baserunners also.
Cole had a rocky beginning in his very first 2 innings, giving up two smash hits in each of the initial two innings and hitting a concoction in the 2nd as well. Nonetheless, he located methods to function out of his very early jams.
While he was charged with two gained runs from his throwing in the seventh, Cole was calm, amazing and gathered throughout the game, appearing like he 'd existed in the past.
Many of the time it's unethical to judge a bottle based on their hitting.
Gerrit Cole isn't most bottles.
In his first Major League at bat, Cole developed the bases filled and 2 outs, and Tim Lincecum looked like he would put away the novice to obtain from the jam. Nevertheless, Cole had various other concepts.
Lining a deep solitary, Cole steered in two runs on his first foundation hit in his first at bat.
His stat line of 2 earned runs, seven hits, a favorite concoction and two strikeouts in 6.1 innings tossed might not be all that impressive because it was marred by his performance in the seventh, however he was dominant throughout and showed a large amount of assurance.
We can expect large points from this kid in the future.

The following
was a prepared statement for the 10th Amendment Forum in Orlando,
FL on 08-22-09
First of all,
thank you for allowing me a few moments to be here with you today
– it's an honor to be able to speak with you, even if
it's from the other side of the country where I am here in
Los Angeles, California.
As the founder
of the Tenth Amendment Center, I'm often asked – why the
Tenth Amendment? Why do we need it? And I truly believe that's
just what people like you and I were asking back in the time when
this country was founded, too.
But, the answer
isn't complex. It isn't difficult. It's simple and
it's easy to understand. The People of the day, the Founding
Generation, like so many of us today, recognized that a government
of strictly limited powers is the only one that has a chance of
protecting our liberty – and that's just the kind of government
that the People created when they ratified the Constitution so many
years ago.
They did this
because they knew through their own life experience, that a government
without limits is a tyranny.
You For Supporting LRC With Your Online Purchases
The 10th Amendment
was ratified as an exclamation point on the Constitution –
and it lays out in plain English that our federal government is
to be one of limited, enumerated powers – not the nearly unlimited,
unchecked one that it has become today.
It truly is
our modern line in the sand. On one side, we have those who believe
in limiting the power of politicians, and on the other are those
that trust the government to do everything.
The 10th Amendment
is the safety valve that makes it clear, especially in conjunction
with the 9th, that it was The People who created the federal government
to be our agent for certain enumerated purposes…….and
nothing more.
federal government didn't create itself – and the state
governments didn't create it either. It was The People who
created the federal government, and it is the People who are sovereign
in the American system. This couldn't have been more clearly
stated than it was in the Federalist Papers, #22. And here's
the quote:
fabric of American empire ought to rest on the solid basis of
THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE. The streams of national power ought
to flow immediately from that pure, original fountain of all legitimate
And that wasn't
Madison or Jay. It was the man who at the time was seen as the greatest
believer in centralized power, Alexander Hamilton. So, back then,
even the great centralizer recognized that power comes from the
People. And that's the way it was at the beginning – and
that's the way it is today.

I purchased this for a sun porch so top quality was not needed, but it has held up well even with a dog. (It vacuums up well.) I added Mohawk rainbow striped rugs to go along with it as indoor entry mats for a Caribbean themed sun porch. It is a good quality and I found this cheaper here compared to other websites. It adds the right variety of color for my porch and I get compliments on it.
I bought this rug and a matching runner and I love them! The color in the photos online are exactly as they are on the rug. They are so lively - I am delighted! I can see them used in casual or semi-formal spaces. So far they have held up perfectly in my entry way and I plan to use them as my inspiration throughout my entire new home.
Love the rug! Was looking for something with these exact colors. My ONLY complaint is that it isn't quite big enough for my space.. Wishing the rug came in 4 x 6.
Colors darker than they appear. Not as dense or plush as I thought they would be.
Bought it when putting our house on the market. It was exactly what I expected. We are now using it in our new house!

Buzz words that annoy
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 11-29-2012 - 4:40pm
I ran across an interesting article today -- interesting to me, I think, because I thought I was probably the only person who is annoyed by certain "buzz words". Nice to know I'm not alone! One of my biggest pet peeves is mentioned; the phrase "Going forward"... I'm a fan of plain talk, simple words, so "In the future" or even "From now on" works just fine for me! Check out the article and see what you think...
10 Things You Should Never Say at the Office
While I don't work in a traditional office, I think this should still apply in a virtual office setting! LOL
What buzz words grate on your last nerve?
|Tue, 12-11-2012 - 2:51pm
Wondering if I can use all those annoying phrases in one paragraph! hehehe
It is what it is... Remember, YOLO, so you might as well grab hold of that game changer attitude and go cutting edge! It's a real disconnect when you have to circle back because you missed a value-add that may have given you the leverage you could have used to really reach out, socialize and go viral!
Ok, I think my head just exploded!
|Wed, 12-05-2012 - 12:48pm
OMG I just started hearing yolo everywhere!!!!! To think I went my whole life not hearing it and now I can't stop hearing it. I'm so annoyed that our society is becoming so lazy that we're actually speaking in stupid acronyms. For typing or texting I get it, but it's not ok for speaking.
|Sat, 12-01-2012 - 12:51pm
Whenever I mention these catch phrases being annoying I get accused of being easily annoyed. Glad I'm not the only one lol. I'd say these ones really drive me nuts:
Reach out. Deliver the bad news. Example: "Reach out to the customers with a letter announcing that their interest rate just doubled."
Viral. So prevalent that you want to barf when you hear about it. Example: "Twitter has gone viral."
Game changer. A catalyst that will transform a frog into a prince or vice-versa. Example: "Getting indicted for fraud was a game changer for Bernie Madoff."
Disconnect. A situation in which you wanted jelly, but someone gave you peanut butter. Example: "There is a disconnect between what the consumer wants and what we intend to provide."
Cutting edge. So modern, it's to die for. Example: "Sleeperama's cutting-edge mattress will take the country by storm."
Other really irritating ones?
social media/social networking

there's an app for that

Natus Medical Announces 2012 Second Quarter Financial Results
"I am also pleased to report that the introduction of our first incubator into the U.S. market is attracting a lot of interest. We remain convinced the incubator market will be an area of solid growth for Natus in the years ahead," said Hawkins.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $17 million, stockholders' equity of approximately $259 million, and working capital of approximately $111 million. On June 28, the Company borrowed $31 million on its line of credit and used approximately $27 million of its existing cash to fund the Nicolet acquisition. The approximate $58 million purchase consideration will be reported as a deposit on the Company's June 30, 2012 balance sheet.
Financial Guidance
Natus updated its 2012 financial guidance. For the full year 2012, the Company expects to report revenue of $295 million to $300 million and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.58 to $0.63. The Company had earlier said that it expected to report revenue of $256 million to $262 million and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.57 to $0.62 without giving effect to the Nicolet acquisition.For the third quarter of 2012, the Company expects to report revenue of $80 million to $82 million and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.12 to $0.14.

New Grand Spa N°605 has opened
January 22nd, 2013
In numerology, six represents equilibrium, balance, and perfection. This is exactly how we want you to feel when you leave the Grand Spa on the 6th floor of the Grand Hotel Wien: perfectly in balance. Behind door 605 on the 6th floor of the Grand, an oasis of calm and well-being in the heart of the city awaits you. The 200-square-meter Grand Spa offers everything to make your stay in Vienna complete: a sauna, a steam bath, a separate women's area with its own sauna, a relaxation zone, a cardio area with the latest equipment, and one of the most comprehensive ranges of beauty and massage treatments in Vienna.
The spa area at the Grand Hotel Wien was designed with objective of gently but surely guiding guests from acceleration to deceleration. The reception opens into the cardio area, where a specially designed circular porthole lets in diffused light of the morning sun. A curvilinear passageway inspired by the shapes of waves leads from the morning activity area to a wet zone, where another porthole lets the gentle light of the evening sun into the sauna. The design of the spa consciously reflects the nearly 145-year history of the Grand Hotel Wien. In addition to exposed masonry from the historic stately palace on Ringstrasse boulevard, details like Spanish mosaics make reference to the great tradition of spa bath culture in early 20th-century Vienna. The contemporary world is represented by high-quality materials, state-of-the-art technology in the saunas, steam baths, and heated bench, and an innovative LED concept hat pampers spa guests with more than thirty different light and color settings.
For further information about the Grand Spa N°605 and a list of all the massage and beauty treatments please visit our spa pages here.

Lending A Paw
Why would anyone want to read to a dog? In 2000, a study was done at the Bennion Elementary School in Salt Lake City, Utah, to examine the benefits of providing a dog-assisted reading program. The study consisted of ten children ranging in age from 5 to 9 years old who were reading below their grade level. Each student read once a week for 20 minutes with a dog. At the end of the 13-month study, each child's reading score … Continue reading
Ready, Aim, Splat!
Just the suggestion of building a city-owned paintball park will have most officials reaching for the phone to consult a law director or legal advisor. But consider this: The National Injury Information Clearinghouse of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports paintball has fewer injuries than tennis, basketball, volleyball, bowling and many other sports. So why does the game immediately conjure up images of injuries and lawsuits? Perhaps it's because of the nature of the game–a simulated war zone where … Continue reading
Virtual Ride — Real Slide
Ever wonder what it would feel like to slide into the jaws of a shark? Although it sounds daring and dangerous, it is now possible thanks to technology created by Mike Werner's Chicago area-based Lasertech Productions Inc. "There's nothing new about themed rides, but there's never been one before that you can change," says Werner. King's Pointe Waterpark Resort in Storm Lake, Iowa, is home to the first interactive water slides. The waterpark—part of a larger, $39-million lakefront revitalization project … Continue reading
Aloha, Neighbors!
"Giving back to the community" has become a catchphrase in the corporate world. It seems that everyone recognizes the value, but how many companies are truly practicing what they preach? There are a number of ways to give back to the community, from charitable fundraisers and donations to employee volunteerism and special programs. Supporting causes outside the regular scope of business reflects the heart and nature of the company, and is sure to demonstrate exponential return. One company–Hawaiian Waters Adventure … Continue reading
Boardwalk Bound
A quiet, northwest Chicago suburb, Niles, Ill., is about 800 miles west of the Atlantic Ocean and light years from Eastern Seaboard resorts such as Atlantic City, N.J. Yet visitors to the Niles Park District's recently renovated OasisFunCenter and WaterPark will be pleasantly surprised to discover that it has the festive, rough-hewn look and feel of the city boardwalks common along the ocean's shores. "We wanted something different and fun–not just another ho-hum box of cinder blocks," said Joseph LoVerde, … Continue reading

The European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended marketing authorization for Sylvant (siltuximab) for adult patients with multicentric Castleman's disease.
Castleman's disease is a rare disorder characterized by non-cancerous growth of the lymph nodes and related tissues. There are currently no medicinal products authorized in the European Union for its treatment.
Janssen-Cilag's Sylvant, shown in clinical trials to reduce tumor burden and improve disease symptoms, was developed using incentives put in place by Europe's orphan legislation. It was designated as an orphan medicine in 2007; at that time it was estimated that Castleman's disease affected less than 1 in 10,000 people in the EU.

Leyland Kirby Announces New EP for Apollo
- Words: DeForrest Brown
Coming off a recent LP released as The Stranger, prolific producer Leyland Kirby has announced that he'll soon issue a record under his given name for R&S imprint Apollo. As Kirby is the mastermind behind other cerebral projects such as the memory-testing The Caretaker and the sonically provocative V/Vm, it is no surprise that the artist's four-track Breaks My Heart Each Time EP is described as ranging from "gorgeous, skin-prickling surges of ambience to cryptic rhythms and intricate, jazzy techno." The record is set to drop on February 17, but its artwork and tracklist can be viewed before then, below. (via Juno Plus)
A1. Breaks My Heart Each Time
A2. Last Ditch Legacy
B1. Diminishing Emotion
B2. Staring Down The Sun

Just look at that face. Galactus knows he's fucked.
That is the most intense "o shit" face I have ever seen on any planet-eater.
Yeah, Bats can take him. He's already got a plan in place.
Bats is likely holding the Batimate Nullifier, hence why Galactus is scared.
It's like the ultimate nullifier but its black, has a yellow bat symbol on it and…I dunno, a piece of kryptonite in it or something. And he can use it to breathe in space.
blah blah blah time to prepare blah blah blah .
In before another six issues of Batman through time and space.
first bats gives Galactus chocolate ice cream,
then kicks the crap out of him
Bats could beat him with his hands tied.
