A goitre is an enlarged thyroid gland. Some people with a goitre (but not all) have an underactive or overactive thyroid. This means that they make too much or too little thyroid hormone. There are various causes of goitre and treatment depends on the cause.
What is a goitre?
A goitre is an enlarged thyroid gland. A goitre can mean that all the thyroid gland is swollen or enlarged, or one or more swellings or lumps develop in a part or parts of the thyroid.
The thyroid gland is in the lower part of the front of the neck. It lies just in front of the windpipe (trachea). It has a right and left lobe which are connected together by a narrow band of thyroid tissue. It is roughly the shape of a butterfly. You cannot usually see or feel a normal thyroid gland. If the thyroid enlarges, it causes a swelling in the neck which you can see - a goitre.
The thyroid gland makes thyroid hormones - called thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are carried round the body in the bloodstream. Thyroxine and T3 help to keep the body's functions (the metabolism) working at the correct pace. Many cells and tissues in the body need thyroxine and T3 to keep them working correctly.
There are different types of goitre, each with various causes
Diffuse smooth goitre
This means that the entire thyroid gland is larger than normal. The thyroid feels smooth but is larger than normal.
There are a number of causes. For example:
- Graves' disease - an autoimmune disease which causes the thyroid to swell and make too much thyroxine. In autoimmune disorders your body produces an antibody that damages a different part of your body - in this case, your thyroid.
- Thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid) - which can be due to various causes. For example, a viral infection can cause viral thyroiditis.
- Iodine deficiency. The thyroid needs iodine to make thyroxine and T3. If you lack iodine in your diet, the thyroid swells as it tries to make enough thyroxine and T3.
- Some medicines such as lithium can cause the thyroid to swell as a side-effect.
- Hereditary factors - some people inherit a tendency for a thyroid to swell. In particular, it may swell at times of life when you may make more thyroxine and T3 - for example, when you are pregnant, or during puberty.
- Any other disorder which causes problems making thyroxine or T3, may cause the thyroid to swell.
Nodular goitres
A thyroid nodule is a small lump which develops in the thyroid. There are two types:
- A multinodular goitre. This means the thyroid gland has developed many lumps or nodules. The thyroid gland feels generally lumpy.
- A single nodule. Causes include:
- A cyst (a fluid-filled benign tumour).
- An adenoma (a solid benign tumour).
- A cancerous tumour (rare).
- Other rare causes.
Goitres and production of thyroid hormones
- In many people with a goitre, the goitre does not affect the amount of thyroxine or T3 that you make. You are then euthyroid, which means you make the correct amount of these hormones.
- In some people, the goitre is associated with an abnormality of thyroid function. You may make too much thyroxine or T3 (hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid) or too little thyroxine or T3 (hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid).
Note: you can also develop an overactive or underactive thyroid without having a goitre.
What are the symptoms of a goitre
- In many cases there are no symptoms apart from the appearance of a swelling in the neck. The size of a goitre can range from very small and barely noticeable, to very large.
- Most goitres are painless. However, an inflamed thyroid (thyroiditis) can be painful.
- If your thyroid makes too much or too little thyroxine or T3, this can cause a range of symptoms. See separate leaflets called 'Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)' and 'Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)' for more detail.
- A large goitre may press on the windpipe or the gullet (oesophagus). This may cause difficulty with breathing or with swallowing.
Assessing the situation
When you have a goitre, a doctor will usually do some blood tests to check if you are making too much or too little thyroxine or T3. Blood tests may also help to find out the cause of some goitres. Other tests may be done to find out the cause of the goitre. For example:
- An ultrasound scan of the thyroid. This may be done if you have a single nodule. An ultrasound scan is a safe and painless test which uses sound waves to create images of organs and structures inside your body. It can tell if a nodule is a cyst or a solid lump.
- A small piece of tissue (a biopsy) may be taken from a nodule to look at under the microscope. The biopsy is done by inserting a thin needle into the nodule. It is a simple and safe procedure.
- A radioactive iodine scan or similar test. This is not done routinely but may be done to see if any nodules are making too much thyroxine or T3. (The radioiodine concentrates in tissue that makes thyroid hormones.) See separate leaflet called 'Radionuclide Scan' for more detail.
- In some situations a chest X-ray is done if it is suspected that a goitre extends downwards into the chest.
What is the treatment for a goitre?
Treatment depends on the cause, the size of the goitre, and whether it is causing symptoms. For example:
- If you have a small goitre that is not due to a cancerous nodule, and your thyroid is making the correct amount of thyroxine and T3, then you may not need any treatment.
- You will need treatment if you make too much or too little thyroxine or T3.
- An operation to remove some or all of the thyroid may be an option in some cases.
- Radioactive iodine treatment may be an option for a goitre causing an overactive thyroid:
- This involves taking a drink, or swallowing a capsule, which contains radioactive iodine.
- The radioactive iodine builds up in the thyroid gland.
- As the radioactivity is concentrated in the thyroid gland, it destroys some thyroid tissue.
- You may need to take thyroxine tablets after having radioactive iodine, if too much of the thyroid is destroyed.
- If you have cancer of the thyroid, you will probably need an operation to remove the cancer and some of the thyroid gland.
- Iodine replacement is given if the goitre is due to lack of iodine in the diet.

Gallery: Your favorite social media sites turned into sneakers
We've already seen what various websites such as Facebook and YouTube would look like as dresses, and now Venezuelan designer Lumen Bigott is turning them into shoes.
Keds, to be specific; the company promoted the designs late last year but it doesn't look like they ever became available for sale. You've got Facebook telling your feet they've got a friend request, YouTube with its loading wheel, Flickr's colorful polkadots, Wikipedia's puzzle-egg and, of course, Twitter's fail whale being carried aloft by birds with strings.
There's also an out-of-place pair of Google Buzz kicks, the search giant's now defunct social network, uh, thing. Still, just slap a plus sign on there and it's all the same colors, right?
Also, boo for leaving out Tumblr. Check out Bigott's awesome designs in the gallery below.

Analysts see auto sales rising 20 per cent in FY13, led by new launches and the rollout of XUV500 in smaller towns
Utility major Mahindra & Mahindra's (M&M) March quarter performance, though ahead of Street estimates, could have been better but for the impact of the merger of its Verito (car) business.
The stock, however, didn't react much, given the Street's concerns over the weakening performance of the tractor segment. Powered by a 25 per cent growth in auto segment volumes, M&M reported 38 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) revenue growth to Rs 9,387 crore. Adjusted for the Rs 740-crore revenue from Verito (part of another group company earlier), revenues grew 28 per cent. At 10.3 per cent, Ebitda margins dropped 239 bps y-o-y and 137 bps sequentially due to a sharp jump in raw material costs, merger of the loss-making Verito business and higher share of auto.
The key worry for M&M is the slowing sales of the relatively high-margin tractor segment whose volume share fell to 28 per cent in the quarter, compared to 36 per cent in the year-ago period. Sales were down 8-21 per cent between January and April. The company has lost one percentage point in market share to 41 per cent due to falling sales in key states and a drop in the sales of non-agricultural tractors.
The management expects a five to six per cent y-o-y growth in tractor volumes for FY13 (from 8-10 per cent earlier) and is banking on good monsoons to boost growth. So far, weak crop prices and high interest rates have inhibited growth in the segment. The silver lining for the farm equipment business has been its steady segment-level margin of 15.7 per cent. The situation could worsen if M&M joins other tractor makers in aggressively discounting sales, something it has avoided so far.
In contrast, auto sales, driven by the Scorpio, Bolero and XUV500, are expected to remain strong (over 20 per cent growth), aided by the launch of a multi-purpose vehicle, an electric car from the Reva stable, a smaller Verito and a mini Xylo.
Analysts are hopeful of the auto division driving performance in FY13. Some have even raised their current year estimates. So, the auto division's performance is crucial and would reflect on the stock, which analysts believe, already factors in the weak tractor outlook. For now, most of them are positive on M&M, with one-year price targets of Rs 700-740, based on the sum of the parts valuation.
Thanks to rising bad loans, bank stocks (especially public sector banks) have remained the ugly ducklings all through FY12. Gross non-performing ...
Analysts expect earnings surprises from consumer discretionary, financial and industrial sectors
Street worried on impact of lower oil prices; analysts say these can be partly offset by de-leveraging gains

Flash and Moonlight News
New releases of the two competing Web technologies, Flash and Silverlight, have just become available. While version 10 of the new Flash Player runs on three platforms, the Silverlight implementation, Moonlight, is designed exclusively for Linux systems.
The most important new feature introduced by the new Flash Player 10 for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows is support for 3D animations. On top of this it can use filters and effects from the Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit project. This feature is not available for GNU/Linux systems, however. The Release Notes also refer to a new text engine and color management. This is the first version of the player to have enhanced hardware acceleration which will take some of the load off the CPU and ensure interrupted playing.
Silverlight is a competitive technology to Adobe Flash. It was developed by Microsoft and was originally available for Windows and OS X systems only. This situation was not to the liking of developer and Novell employee Miquel de Icaza who called for other developers to help implement a version for Linux. De Icaza just announced the first final release in his blog.
A version without media codec support for direct installation on Firefox 2 and 3 running on 32 and 64 bit systems is available at go-mono.com. This version is rumored not work reliably with the next generation Firefox browser. To add media codec support users need to build the source code themselves. The current release supports the Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 standard. A Moonlight beta of the future 2.0 version is already available. The final release is scheduled for this summer.

Like many recipes published prior to the stricter copyright laws of the twentieth century this recipe for candied angelica is found in many cookbooks. I include two version here, one from 1717 and one from 1788. They are identical but for one detail. The later recipe leaves off the option of drying the angelica before the fire. The only suggestion is drying in the oven. This offers us a hint both of a use of the fireplace to dry herbs and candied fruits but also offers a rough date for when cookbook authors no longer assumed that a fireplace was available for cooking. At least in England, by the late 1780s, the age of the range had arrived.
Angelica candied.
Gather your Angelica in April, cut in lengths, and boil it in water till it becomes tender. Having put it on a sieve to drain, peel it, and dry it in a clean cloth, and to every pound of stalks take a pound of double-refined sugar finely pounded Put your stalks into an earthen pan, and strew the sugar over them. Cover them close, and let them stand two days. Then put it into a preserving-pan, and boil it till it is clear. Then put it into a cullender to drain, strew it pretty thick over with fine powder sugar, lay it on plates, and dry it in a cool oven, or before the fire.

This photograph, taken by Reaktion Books publisher Michael Leaman in Tiblisi, Georgia, very clearly shows that the top of the oven is angled so that breads stuck to its side will receive direct radiant heat from the embers or fire at the bottom of the oven. If you build a tandoor oven I would use this photograph as a model.
The impromptu Peruvian oven that is is built in the Peruvian highlands to bake potatoes can easily be adapted to bake bread. While the Peruvian watia dome is heated and then collapsed onto the potatoes, one can use the form to bake bread the usual way.
The Peruvian potato oven is constructed in situ with sod or weedy soil. If your soil has a high clay content then using clumps of soil that are already bound with roots is more or less equivalent to building a cob or adobe oven. I don't know how big a dome one can build out of sod but if one doesn't have a weedy field to dig up I imagine the following experiment: seed a prepared bed of clayey soil large enough to construct the dome of an oven that is three feet (1 meter) in diameter with grass and when the grass is well established shovel clumps to build an oven as illustrated below.

This story was told me by Donald "Babu" Zakayo, of Wamba, Kenya in the mid to late 1990s along with several other stories, a few of which I offer here. The edited transcription is mine.
OMAR WAS NOT crazy before. When he was eighteen he was a little bit crazy, but the Muslim took care of him and he was normal again.
This man was selling. This man was a business man. He had to sell his brother's shop. For so many years he had been selling shop without coming out of the shop.
When he was around thirty years the brother said, "It's too difficult to stay with this old man without a wife. Lets marry him a wife." Continue reading

Babu's stories center on the life in the Samburu district of Northern Kenya. They are about the villagers of Wamba, and about the Samburu who live in the countryside with their cattle — their goats, cows, sheep, and camels. I first recorded stories by Babu, the owner along with his mother, Rose, of the now defunct Quick Service Hotel in Wamba, Kenya, in 1995. I asked Babu to tell me about a few of the characters I had seen wandering around town. We sat under a tree on the edge of town and he told me the stories of "Omar," "Goat Woman," and "Two Sons." Over the years I have recorded over sixty stories by Babu, a few of which are included here. Continue reading
I was searching Google Books for information on military bread ovens in the 19th century, a process my girlfriend refers to as "wooden cowing," and came across this sketch regarding bread in Italy circa 1894. It was written by Olive May Eager, a minor American writer who lived in Italy and seems to have supported herself, at least in part, by selling short pieces on Italian culture to American magazines. The piece I include here was published in the May 1894 issue of the journal, The Roller Mill. She published in a wide array of magazines including, for example, the children's magazine, Saint Nicolas,and the Journal of Hygiene and Herald of Health,where she has an excellent essay on the chestnut cuisine of the Apennine.

Armies march on their stomachs. Historically, this often meant that armies marched with their bakeries. Military field manuals are a source of information in simple impromptu oven construction. The simplest oven is the item 496: An oven may be excavated in a clay bank (Fig. 6) and used at once. Few of us have sloped clay banks in our yards that can be dug into for an oven, but this suggests the possibility of ovens as a technical possibility long before there were even mud earth structures. But a more practical oven is the first of the two ovens described in item 495. It is an oven built by slathering clay over a barrel. This is so similar to the Sunset Magazine's oven built over a cardboard trash barrel that I would not be surprised if a military oven were not the inspiration for Sunset's instructions. Continue reading
The ovens demonstrated here are based on designs from the Jewish Moroccan community in Israel. They were built at the Jewish Moroccan Museum and Archive for Living Culture at Moshav Sedot Micah, a village in the center of Israel. There is a profound way in which these ovens are traditional constructions. The ovens are built on the ground, but with the ground elevated so that one doesn't have to sit on the ground to operate the oven. The same effect could be achieved by excavating a place to stand or sit in front of the oven which was a common system for military ovens in field kitchens.
The oven is built over a pile of manure and straw is used to separate the manure layer from the mud. The mud is made up of sand, soil, and a little concrete, so this is a concrete/earth construction material similar to the material called for the Sunset Magazine's Adobe oven (which is three parts soil and 1 part portland cement). The use of a small amount of portland cement greatly simplifies the mixing of the mud as it virtually eliminates the need for any skill in preparing the soil (clay) mix.
These ovens are not insulated. That are designed for making breads with a fire going in the oven which is also why the door opening is much larger than in a conventional European domed oven.

Annual cost of lymphedema treatment fell $12,000, study found
by rich5 on Thu Jul 23, 2009 12:00 AM
I am a 75 yr. old male, in good health, But because of an elevated enzime
was refered to and had an endoscopic exam and was diagnosised with a
tumor in (polypoid , non cancerous )
A whipple procedure was recomended, I have reservation but want to have a quality life.
The diagnosis was polyp in the major papilla, filling defectin lower third of main bile duct.
The med school of SC said this is pre cancerous , but has a potential to
become Malignment.
Any insight will be appreciated.
by Karscher on Fri Jul 24, 2009 12:00 AM
I think you are being well advised to have the Whipple. It's a blessing it was found in a precancerous stage. The Whipple is a tough surgery but if you are other wise healthy and have a surgeon experienced with Whipple you may successfully prolong your life. My husband, age 65, had the Whipple in Dec. 2009. Unfortunately, cancer was found. The Whipple has left him with issues with gas. His total recovery from the surgery has been slowed by the chemo. My husband views the Whipple as a " piece of cake " compared to the chemo.
Lots to think about.
Be Well,
by rich5 on Sat Jul 25, 2009 12:00 AM
Karen, thanks for your response . It is encourgeing.
How ever, I contacted the Mayo clinic in Fla. and a DR, Auten
returned my call . Faxed him all the test results from MUSC in
Charleston SC. After reviewing he seemed to think the Whipple
might be an overkill. He said he might be able to do robotic surgery
(laproscopic) to correct my problem. I am weighing the options,
Now I plan to call for all information and probably ask for an appoinment.
Praying for good conclusion.
Thanks again, Richard

Your response reminded me of something I read along the way. They can remove some of these growths with some sort of endoscopic procedure. I think this is a somewhat of a newer technique for less involved situations. Obviously, less invasive is better.

A revolution in canary seed
A whole new kind of canary seed
has come to market: Canario.
Developed in Canada, Canario is glabrous hairless which means that, for the first time, producers, processors and packagers can expect less dust and less itch when processing canary seed. Its a long awaited development that will change the face of canary seed production around the world.
Market ready
Canario is the perfect option for birdseed processors and packagers because it main-tains the high protein of traditional canary seed varieties while eliminating the irritating hair.
Quality standards
New Canario varieties are subject to strict quality standards to ensure processors get what they want. Based on commercial pedigreed seed stan-dards, Canario varieties must be 97% hairless in order to bear the Canario trademark. That trademark is the processors guarantee of purity.
Canadian leadership
Canada is the worlds No. 1 producer and exporter of canary seed with prime growing areas in the prairie province of Saskatchewan. The Canadian industry anticipates that glabrous Canario will replace regular canary seed over the next three years as the canary seed of choice among producers and processors.
Canario: the future is here
If youre looking for the future of canary seed, look no further than Canario. Hairless, yet with all the performance characteristics of traditional canary seed, Canario will set the pace for the next century.

Colt AR15 Sporter II
Saturday, 11 December 2010 12:31 | E-mail
Colt pre-ban AR15A2 "Sporter II" .223 caliber rifle, VG+ overall condition; this was an "SP" pre-fix serial number gun, probably 1970's manufacture. It has a 20" heavy bbl, flash hider, bayo lug; circular handguard; "A2" rear sight, fully adjustable for windage and elevation; fixed stock; and forward assist. It has had an ATF assigned serial number engraved on the mag well just below the location of the original (ground off) serial number (new serial number is "ATF-93xx-xxx"). The gun has had a very light "urban camo" (shades of gray) applied to the receiver, fixed stock, and handguard. Shoots nice. Price is $1175 plus costs to your dealer.

I was so happy that I didn't have to remove the cover and wash it. I'm
already making my list for the next purchase in the spring. We will want to add to our collection.
Thanks so much!

How quickly can you enable OAuth on an API and allow for client applications to be rapidly built for them? With the new OAuth 2.0 policy that is now available with the Anypoint Platform for APIs, the answer is no more than five minutes! Have a look for yourself with the following viewlet:
Tag: OAuth
It sounds like the title for a fantasy movie, but Google, OAuth and the "confused deputy" is a very common issue. Wikipedia defines a confused deputy as "a computer program that is innocently fooled by some other party into misusing its authority. It is a specific type of privilege escalation" (complete article here).
The Wikipedia article shares an example of a compiler exposed as a paid service. This compiler receives an input source code file and the path where the compiled binary is to be stored. This compiler also keeps a file called BILLING where billing information is updated each time a compilation is requested. If a user were to request a compilation setting the output path to "BILLING", then the file would be overwritten and the billing information lost. In this case, the compiler is a "confused deputy" because although the client doesn't have access to the file, it's tricked the compiler (who does have access) into altering the file.
This post is brought to you by… you! Yes, a couple of weeks back I was writing about how dealing with OAuth2 secured APIs got way easier since Mule's August 2013 Release. We got such a great feedback that we decided to incorporate some of it in our latest October 2013 release.
Token Management vs. Token Nightmare
So let's do a quick recap. In the last post we said that now Mule is way smarter at automatically handling your tokens. So, in a single tenant scenario you could just do this:
Ever since Devkit made its first entry into the Mule family, a big variety of OAuth enabled Cloud Connectors were made available. Salesforce, Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, LinkedIn and Google Apps suite are just some examples of the APIs we've connected to using that support.
When we started thinking about the August 2013 release we decided to take it one step forward and make it easier than ever. And now that Mule 3.5-andes is available on CloudHub, you'll be able to leverage all these improvements into your integrations. On Premise users will also be able to use when the final version of Mule 3.5.0 is released as GA.
On this 10th 'Day of Christmas' Mule blog post, we tackle an increasingly important question in the world of APIs: Presume that you would like to create a remote API (which perhaps exposes some legacy business logic) for access by internal and/or external clients. How can you make sure that access to your API is protected in such a way that:
A) Only clients that you trust can access them;
B) Those clients can access your API through the explicit authorization of their end-users; and
C) The end-users can be authenticated with a central entity, *withouth* having to share their credentials with your API's clients.
Google Apps offers a cloud alternative to many of the office products. If you have a Gmail account then you have Google Apps including Spreadsheets, Docs, Presentations, Contacts, Calendars and Tasks. Of course Google Apps have APIS and of course we have the connectors to make it easy to connect Google Apps and your applications together. Lets get the connectors and then take a look at what you can do.
It's a pleasure for me to introduce the Mule Dropbox Connector. I'm sure you have heard of Dropbox and many of you have been delighted by its simple features, and now you can take advantage of them in your Mule applications.
Getting the Dropbox Connector
It's really easy to start using this connector thanks to Mule Studio update site. To install it:
- Go to the menu Help -> Install new software
- Enter the connectors releases repository: http://repository.mulesoft.org/connectors/releases
- Select the Dropbox Cloud Connector available in the Community group
Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) present unique security challenges due to loose service/application coupling and operations running across trust boundaries. To help our customers address these challenges, we have extended the Mule ESB platform security in several key areas and are making these extensions available through our Mule Enterprise Security package. This blog post will introduce the key components of that soon to be released package.
Product Overview
The first thing to know about Mule Enterprise Security is that it builds on top of Mule ESB Enterprise's existing security capabilities. Mule ESB Enterprise already provides a solid set of security features, including:
Mark Zuckenberg once said: "How can you connect the world if you leave out China". Well, I now hereby say: "How can you connect the cloud if you leave out Google". I know I don't have his net worth, but I have a point nevertheless. Reality is that Google has done a great job building a Gazillion of different and very cool APIs and you'd be right to feel that it's hard to keep their pace. To help you with that is that we proudly present to you the first release of the Google Cloud Connectors Suite.
Testing using an external API can be a PITA, especially if the API uses any HTTP Callbacks or redirects such as OAuth or WebHooks. If your using any callback functionality like this then the Service Provider needs a way to callback your application and therefore be accessible to the public Internet.
When you start integrating these APIs, it's much easier to work on your local development machine, but these are usually behind firewalls, NAT, or are otherwise not able to provide a public URL and it's not really feasible to push to a staging environment every time you want to test something.
So we need a way to make our local applications available to the Internet; there are a few good services and tools out there to help with this such as: Tunnlr, ProxyLocal, showoff.io or you can setup your own reverse SSH Tunnel if you already have a remote system to forward you requests.
In this post, I am going to use a service called LocalTunnel and show how we can share a local Mule application with the world and customize some Cloud Connectors to receive Callbacks locally.

This program has proved to be an excellent resource for parents with at risk children as well as those who are interested in improving their parenting skills.

It holds the distinction of being the only online parent education course for families that is currently listed on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Registry for Evidence-based Programs and Practices. Our work with family service agencies, probation officers, court appointed special advocates, counselors, therapists among others has shown that PW improves parental communications. This allows parents to utilize the communication skills learned in the program to remain focused on creating successful outcomes which are in the best interest of their child(ren). We offer the curriculum in a variety of formats such as online, on a DVD to teach as a class, interactive software for parents to take at your facility as well as different versions for your target population.
Parenting Wisely Online

Longer Deployments Lead to Higher Rates of Divorce Among Veterans
By John Clark
Lengthier deployments, which have become the norm in the U.S. military thanks to prolonged excursions in Afghanistan and Iraq, increase the risk of divorce among service members, according to a report from the Huffington Post.
Sources say the U.S. Department of Justice asked the RAND Corporation to study the impact of longer deployments, and the researchers discovered, perhaps not surprisingly, that longer stints overseas lead to higher rates of divorce.
And the study was certainly comprehensive. The researchers pulled information on more than 462,000 enlisted service members who became married while on active duty in the military between March 1999 and June 2008, according to reports.
Researchers also discovered an interesting relationship between the success of marriages that were sealed before and after September 11, 2001, the date of several terrorist attacks on American soil that took thousands of lives.
The data revealed that couples who married before September 11, 2001, were 28 percent more likely file for divorce within three years of saying their vows if one or both of the partners served in Afghanistan or Iraq for more than a year.
On the other hand, couples who married after the attacks on September 11 had a much lower divorce rate. Sources believe this was due in part to the maturity of couples who married after the terrorist attacks, and their better preparedness for the difficulties of war.
But aside from the interesting link between September 11 and divorce rates, regardless of the time of marriage or the date of deployment, married service members consistently divorce at higher rates when they serve overseas for longer periods of time, sources report.
Researchers believe that longer deployments place higher burdens on military couples, many of whom are in the early stages of their marriage. Unfortunately, several excursions on foreign soil have stretched the military's resources in the past two decades, leading to longer deployments and more tension at home.
Interestingly, the study also found that female service members were more likely to seek a divorceafter deployment than their male counterparts, and that military members with children were less likely to file for divorce than their childless peers.
The news comes at a time when military members are calling a divorce attorney at record rates. According to the Department of Defense, the military divorce rate has been steadily increasing for the past ten years, and shows no signs of reversing course.

Build your own Lion install USB thumb drive for cheap
Why pay Apple $69.99 when you can build your own Lion install drive for the App Store purchase price of $29.99 -- plus the cost of an inexpensive thumb drive. Here's how to create a full install on a drive, not just the recovery disk that we recently posted about.
You'll need a copy of the OS X Lion installer. If you saved a copy when you first installed Lion, great. If not, you'll need to re-download it from the Mac App Store.
To do so, launch the App Store and option-click the Purchases tab. An "Install" button should appear next to Lion. Click it to re-download the installer. You can use this option-click-Purchases trick to re-download any purchase, not just Lion.
Once the 3.74-GB installer finishes downloading, go to your Applications folder to find the installer itself. It is called Install Mac OS X Lion. Right-click (or Control-click) the installer and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual pop-up. A new Finder browser window opens, showing the normally hidden material inside the installer bundle.
Navigate to Contents > SharedSupport. There you'll find a disk image called InstallESD.dmg.
Open a new Finder window with Command-N (File > New Finder Window). Navigate to /Applications/Utilities and launch DiskUtility.
Attach a thumb drive to your Mac that is at least
4GB 8GB in size. (Update: some readers say 4GB isn't enough. As you can see, I used a 16GB drive) Prepare it for use by creating a single HFS+ partition. Select the drive (e.g. SanDisk Ultra) in the left hand column. Drives are listed first with their partitions listed after them, each partition indented slightly.
With this drive selected, click the Partition tab and choose Partition Layout > 1 Partition. Choose Format > Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Click the Options button at the bottom-right of the partition layout. Select GUID Partition Table.
Click Apply. Disk Utility asks you to confirm. Click Partition. Wait as it unmounts, partitions, and remounts your disk.
Next, select the new partition (Untitled 1 by default). Click the Restore tab.
Click Install next to the source field. Drag InstallESD.dmg into the file-open window and click Open. Drag Untitled 1 from the left column to the destination field. Click Restore and agree to Erase the drive and replace it with the contents of InstallESD.dmg. You may have to authenticate as an administrator.
Wait. It will take some time for the drive to be written. Once it's done, eject it, label it clearly, and put it away for a rainy day.
Meanwhile, go out and spend the $40 you just saved wisely.

AZTech Remembers Dr. Mary Kihl…
A moment of silence was observed at the November meetings of the AZTech Executive Committee, the AZTech Operations Committee, and the AZTech ATIS Working group in memory of Dr. Mary Kihl who passed away on October 16, 2007. Mary was a Professor of Transportation Planning, in the College of Architecture & Environmental Design, School of Planning at Arizona State University (ASU). Mary had been an active AZTech participant on behalf of ASU on the AZTech Executive Committee and the AZTech ATIS (Advanced Traveler Information Systems) Working Group. Despite her numerous academic and research commitments to ASU she would always make herself available for the AZTech meetings. In addition to her passion for teaching, she was passionate about ITS and very committed to the cause of elderly mobility and safety through ITS technologies.
Notable amongst her innumerous contributions to ITS are the studies to evaluate and recommend appropriate ATIS systems for the elderly including the website and DMS messaging. She significantly contributed in architecting the AZTech ATIS plan and more recently was one of the key members of the Arizona E-VII initiative. As a regular participant of the AZTech Executive Committee and the AZTech ATIS Working Group, Mary would very aptly and eloquently present ideas and concepts to advance the AZTech vision and mission and champion the role of academia in improving mobility and safety.
Mary was an exceptional individual and will be greatly missed both personally and professionally by her AZTech family.

text: Why Regulate Waste Mercury Lamps? All mercury lamps contain small amounts of mercury. An electric current passes through the lamp and vaporizes the mercury to generate light. The Environmental Protection Agency regulates the disposal of waste mercury lamps because mercury is toxic to people and to the environment. * Mercury is Toxic to People: Mercury is a powerful neurotoxin that affects every aspect of brain and nerve function. It can cause tremors, memory loss, mental impairment, and many other complications in the nervous system. Mercury is especially dangerous to the developing fetus as it impairs brain development, resulting in lowered intelligence and other brain deficits. * Mercury is Toxic to the Environment: Bacteria from river and estuary bottom sediments produce a highly toxic form of mercury through a process called "methylation". The methylated mercury accumulates in aquatic organisms, making the fish from those bodies of water dangerous to eat. Numerous bodies of water in America are the subject of fish consumption advisories. These range from limiting the intake of some fish to one serving every few weeks, to avoiding the consumption of any fish from specific locations. For these resons as well as other environmental issues Advanced Lamps will offer to dispose properly of your spent assembly in a monthly disposal run that we have coordinated with the proper authority. To dispose of yor lamp properly and humanely, please send to the following address, the package MUST be addressed exactly as written: ADVANCED LAMPS DUD DISPOSAL 994 N. Colony Road #327 WALLINGFORD, CT 06492 Thank you for helping to keep our environment safe!

Newcastle midfielder Dan Gosling has admitted a Football Association charge after breaking rules over betting.
The matter relates to multiple breaches of Rule E8(b) for misconduct in relation to betting.
Gosling has requested a personal hearing, on a date yet to be arranged.
Rule E8(b) specifies players must not bet either directly or indirectly or instruct, permit, cause or enable any person to bet on any result, progress or conduct of a match or competition in which they participate or have participated in during a season or in which they have any influence.
The 24-year-old is back at St James' Park following a spell on loan at Sky Bet Championship side Blackpool earlier in the season.
Devon-born Gosling began his career at Plymouth before attracting the attention of Everton, who signed him for £2m in January 2008.
He played 37 games for the Merseysiders to secure a permanent place in David Moyes' side before joining Newcastle on a free transfer in July 2010.

Kurt & Mary Broecker
On a trip from Owensboro in 1962, Mary Bartlett asked an acquaintance to drive her to Louisville to watch the University of Kentucky play in the NCAA tournament.
That acquaintance was Kurt Broecker, whom Mary didn't know well, but after driving in the car with him for 30 minutes, Mary felt a sudden spark.
"I didn't know Kurt well at the time, but by the time we got to Shelbyville – a half an hour – I was in love," Mary said, smiling at Kurt.
During the drive, Mary and Kurt began talking about scuba diving, an interest they share, and decided to visit Nassau for a diving trip with a group of friends on spring break.
"We just have always had so many interests alike," Mary said. "We've always chosen not to go our separate ways especially in the evenings because that's the only time couples really have time to connect. We decided early that we would maybe do one thing a month that didn't involve the other person."
On April 11, 1964, the couple married at Mary's parents' home in Owensboro. Following the ceremony, Mary and Kurt hopped in Mary's '64 Corvette, a gift she was given as incentive to attend graduate school, and drove to New Orleans for their honeymoon.
Upon returning to Kentucky, the Broeckers resided in Louisville, where much of the Broecker family – including The Voice-Tribune columnist, Carla Sue, whose husband, Brad, is Kurt's cousin – lived. But, having grown up on a farm in Owensboro, Mary began longing for a farm of her own, and found a picturesque home in La Grange, Ky. three years later.
"I grew up showing horses and cattle and baking biscuits for 4H and that kind of thing," she said. "We began searching for a farm of our own and we found this place. We've been here for almost 45 years."
Their spacious backyard is home to many horses, cows and chickens. Each year, Mary enters her chickens in the state fair and has walked away with a ribbon every single year.
Mary and Kurt have also become active in the community. Former president of the Fillies and treasurer of the Woman's Club of Louisville, Mary now serves on the board of Yew Dell Gardens and is president of the Republican Women in LaGrange.
Kurt has served on the board of AAA Kentucky and the board of Regent University, a Christian college in Virginia, and was in charge of the motorcycle group at Southeast Christian.
Aside from their individual projects, the two also shared time together dancing, traveling and helping young couples prepare for marriage.
"At Southeast Christian we were marriage mentors for about 12 years," Mary said. "Southeast has a wonderful program. They talk about different things that will come up in married life. We still keep up with a lot of couples we did mentor."
Kurt and Mary doled out plenty of marriage advice, teaching communication as the key to a successful relationship. But, in the last four years, Mary and Kurt have had to work especially hard to practice what they preach since an unexpected twist of fate happened on March 28, 2008.
On that day, Kurt suffered a stroke that left him unable to speak. He can gesture, and say "yes" and "no." The Broeckers have found music therapy to be especially helpful, as it has miraculously taught Kurt a few important phrases.
"He has like six or eight phrases that have their own melody," Mary said. " 'You look nice today' is one, because he used to always compliment me. It is harder because we were best friends, and still are, but we talked about everything. But you make a commitment to marriage and as you go through life, changes come along and you make the best of them. I wouldn't say it's brought us closer, but because we've always been so close, it hasn't taken anything away."
The couple now spend their time dining at restaurants in LaGrange and Louisville and enjoy Mitchell's, Corbett's, Limestone and Rivue. They also spend time with their two children, O'Bryan and T.K., and their grandchildren, Taylor and Mary Elizabeth.
It is safe to say much has changed in 47 years, but Mary and Kurt have never lost sight of their love and have proven that they share a truly unbreakable bond.
"We've always respected one another," Mary said. "In all the things that I've done, Kurt has always been 100 percent supportive. People don't believe us but we have never had an argument. We just always have had so much consideration for what the other one needs at the time. We're both very easy-going. I try to think what Kurt would like – and he does the same for me."
"Communicate," Mary said.
"Don't forget to think about the other person's needs," Mary advised.

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.

dB Super E-Spec(Grand Touring Summer)
Sidewall Style: Blackwall
Click thumbnails to view above. Most approximate photos shown View Full Screen Photo.
The dB Super E-spec is the flagship Grand Touring Summer tire of Yokohama's ecologically friendly lines. Developed for hybrid and fuel-efficient vehicles, as well as for the drivers of small cars that want to enhance their vehicle's fuel economy without abandoning dry and wet traction, the dB Super E-spec tires are designed to be environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient. Like all summer tires, dB Super E-spec tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The dB Super E-spec combines renewable orange oil with natural rubber to form Yokohama's Super Nano-Power Rubber (SNPR) compound to produce a tire that's 80% petrochemical free. The SNPR compound operates in dual modes that allow it to generate less heat and reduce rolling resistance during steady, straight driving, as well as enhance traction during active braking and cornering.
This compound is molded into a subtly directional tread design tuned to combine low noise with dry traction. Circumferential grooves help resist hydroplaning and strategically placed tread sipes increase surface contact to enhance wet traction. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon to stabilize the tread area while minimizing weight. The dB Super E-spec tires also feature Yokohama´s AIRTEX Advanced Liner that combines the elasticity of rubber with the lightness and superior gas-barrier characteristics of plastic. Only one-fifth as thick as conventional tire liners, the new liner material slows down escaping air molecules to more effectively retain tire inflation pressure while it reduces tire weight and rolling resistance.

10 Thanksgiving Outfit & Costume Ideas For Babies & Mini Turkeys
I like to use any and all occasions as excuses to dress my baby to the nines, and with Thanksgiving literally just around the corner, what better opportunity? I took my brood to the mall the other day and came up with a few fun ideas, but nothing that was Thanksgiving themed.
Baby Pilgrim
Everyone needs a Pilgrim's hat for Thanksgiving and babies, well they need something super soft. Crocheted from soft yarn and sized for 3-6 month old babies, this sweet hat is so incredibly adorable and ideal to put on the one thing you are the most thankful for.
Thanksgiving Argyle
This looks like an entire outfit, but really it's just a baby body suit decked out with a colorful argyle corduroy vest and matching bow tie! You can customize this outfit with whichever colored tie you prefer. Available in sizes from newborn to 24 months.
Oh how I wish they made this in matching daddy sizes. Can you imagine how cute that would be? Father and son in Thanksgiving argyle.
Little Lady Turkey
Are turkeys beautiful? I think every parent's little turkey is ;). This toddler set comes with a stretch to fit tutu dress for toddlers and includes a crocheted turkey hat. The pictures you could take with this would be absolutely priceless!
Vintage Dress
Vintage dresses look so beautiful on children and during Thanksgiving the look is even more fitting. I love the lace up best and Peter Pan collar on this brown number.
The Set
This set is ideal for little crawlers. The leg warmers protect little knees, while the tie appliqued body suit provides easy access for diaper changes (and a whole lot of style!). You can choose from a multitude of Thanksgiving colors, houndstooth, argyles and other 'fall' prints to personalize this set according to your preference.
Little Pilgrim Costume
This intricately designed body suit and adorable matching hat need to only be paired with black leggings or tights for a full-on pilgrim look. Available in sizes for newborns all the way to 24 months.
Plaid Dress
Plaid is perfect for the holidays – not just Christmas! This orange and black version can be made with the bows sewn on the dress, as clip-ons or you can switch them up for hair clips (your choice). The dress also comes with a matching diaper cover.
Pilgrim Hat Applique
This outfit is more suited for itty bitty babies. It includes a white body suit featuring a handmade applique of a pilgrim hat. The brown pants top it off ;).
Tux Baby
Is formal more your thing? This tuxedo can be used for all the upcoming holidays and family photos. The faux 'buttons' are made form black pom poms and the tux is made from satin ribbon. It's all been attached using an applique method (tested in the wash). The seller sells these in sizes from 0-3 months all the way to 2T-3T.
Turkey Tie
No need for a tie! Mr. Turkey makes an appearance on a white body suit (or tee for your toddler) and adds humor, style and a whole lot of fun to your baby's outfit.
As many parents have varied tastes, I wanted to round-up a few outfit ideas that would appeal to everyone and some of them can be replicated at home using pieces from your baby's current wardrobe. You'll find that a few of these picks are also great for Hanukkah and Christmas. Take the tuxedo body suit as an example. Perfect for any holiday!

Pres. Obama's Coffee with Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, Arianna Huffington and More
ABC's Jake Tapper has an item about a meeting Pres. Obama had yesterday with "an all-star list of progressive and liberal media folks."
Those there included the Washington Post's Ezra Klein and Greg Sargent, MSNBC anchors Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, and Chris Hayes, the Nation's editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel, the New York Times' Frank Bruni, and stars of the interwebs Arianna Huffington, Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo, Faiz Shakir of ThinkProgress and Joy Reid of The Reid Report.
Tapper writes, "the group chatted with the president about economic messaging [and] his agenda for 2012″ among other things.
Well, Fox News's Greta Van Susteren has a few things to say about this, calling some media outlets hypocritical for reporting a story a few weeks ago questioning whether Van Susteren should divulge her husband's friendships with Washington political insiders.

Stocks rallied broadly Wednesday, extending their push into record territory.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 128.78 points, or 0.9%, to 14802.24. On Tuesday, the Dow rose 60 points, or 0.4%, to close at an all-time high of 14673.46.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index tacked on 19.12 points, or 1.2%, to 1587.73, vaulting over its previous intraday and closing highs. Technology stocks notched the biggest gains, adding 1.8%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index gained 59.40 points, or 1.8%, to 3297.25.
Stocks rallied broadly, with a triple-digit gain for the Dow industrials contradicting investor fears of a pullback. The S&P 500 broke an intraday record. Steven Russolillo reports.
"There's just no fear in this market," said Viren Chandrasoma, U.S. head of program trading at Credit Suisse Group AG.
For weeks now, traders have said the market is overdue for a pullback, with the S&P 500 up 11% so far this year. But any retreats have been shallow as investors waiting on the sidelines take advantage of lower prices to put money to work.
Wednesday's advances came after the latest policy-meeting minutes from the Federal Reserve did little to dissuade investors that the central bank remains committed to supporting the economy with exceptionally easy monetary policy.
"These minutes didn't change the general story," said David Kelly, chief global strategist with J.P. Morgan Funds. The release "just reinforces the idea that investors need to gradually move their money toward riskier assets."
Wednesday's rally featured particular strength among technology stocks. That marked a change of pace for the tech sector, which has underperformed the broader market so far in 2013.
"There was relief that [the Fed is] not going to be pulling back right away," said Chris Costanzo, investment officer with Tanglewood Wealth Management, which manages $725 million.
Tech shares in the S&P 500 gained 4.6% to the index's 11%. Microsoft was among the standouts in the tech sector.
"When a market starts ripping higher, you tend to find that anything that hasn't moved also starts to participate in the rally," said Mr. Chandrasoma.
Meanwhile, Taylor Morrison Home rose in its initial public offering, as investors continued to show strong demand for housing related stocks.
The Federal Open Market Committee's March meeting minutes were released at 9 a.m. EDT, rather than the scheduled 2 p.m. because they were inadvertently sent a day early to Congress and some trade groups, the Fed said. The minutes showed that committee members are continuing to debate the timeline for ending the central bank's stimulus efforts.
Stocks also got a boost from strong economic data abroad. Chinese imports surged 14.1% from a year ago, well above expectations of a 6.1% rise, a sign that demand from the world's second-largest economy remained strong.
As stocks staged their strong rally, demand fell for the haven 10-year U.S. Treasury bond, pushing its yield up to 1.804%.
The S&P 500 breaks above its previous intraday record high Wednesday. Trader Peter Tuchman works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Associated Press
European markets were broadly higher. The Stoxx Europe 600 climbed 1.8%, as better-than-expected industrial production out of France and a well-received auction of short-term Italian debt helped provide a lift.
February industrial output rose by more than expected in France, and January's decline was smaller than previously reported. France's CAC 40 index climbed 2%.
Italy sold €11 billion ($14.39 billion) of three- and 12-month bills, with funding costs declining. The FTSE MIB index surged 3.2%.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average gained 0.7% to a 4½-year high as continued weakness in the yen helped lift exporter shares. China's Shanghai Composite edged up less than 0.1%.
The dollar rose to a one-month high against the yen, and edged higher against the euro.
Richard E. Sylla, financial historian and professor of economics at NYU's Stern School of Business, discusses the likelihood of a series of markets highs, the impact of the Fed's ability to keep interest rates down, and the tendency for investors to buy high and sell low, in a big interview with WSJ's Jason Zweig.
April gold futures gave up 1.8% to $1,558.30 a troy ounce, after Goldman Sachs cut its price forecasts for the precious metal. The broker now sees gold at $1,530 a troy ounce in three months, down from an earlier estimate of $1,615 an ounce, and it slashed its 2013 year-end forecast to $1,450 an ounce from $1,600 an ounce.
May crude-oil futures gained 0.5% to $94.64 a barrel.

Shaddock Cocktail
Four ingredients, all equal parts. The blending of each makes a magical libation. One might bet their bottom dollar that fresh grapefruit juice was one of the four ingredients, but then they would be broke. The floral sweetness from the St. Germain, the citrus from the lemon juice and the bitterness from the Aperol create a delightful confusion for your taste buds that can only be described as "damn, that is good."
The Shaddock Cocktail:
- .75 oz Gin (Bols Genever if you have it)
- .75 oz Aperol
- .75 oz St. Germain
- .75 oz Lemon Juice
Glass: Chilled coupe
Method: Add the ingredients into a pint glass. Add ice and shake. Strain into your glass.
"Named after Captain Shaddock, the 17th century English ship commander who introduced the citrus varietal to the West Indies." – Cocktail Virgin
This cocktail recipe is certainly one to be proud of. So, the next time you find yourself at Silvertone's or Trina's, look for the creator, Josh Childs (co-owner/bartender), and give him a high five. Also, be sure to check out Josh Childs blog on Boston.com.
Have you had the Shaddock before?
