This response shows a real problem. The fact that you cannot disable
these kinds of services without forking shows there's a design problem.
The fact that these badly-designed services have become so widespread
shows a deeper problem.=20
Recently, money seems to have become quite influential in the free
software community, typified by Red Hat and its efforts to drive free
software development in a direction that suits enterprise customers.
The quoted response shows an unwillingness for these parties to
*cooperate* with communities and instead I see a desire to *dictate* to
Yes, I can fork Fedora and create a new distribution but that takes a
great deal of time and effort. If Red Hat were interested in
cooperating instead of dictating, that effort would not be needed; Red
Hat would take on the responsibility of ensuring that their systems are
flexible enough not to need a fork. Practically, that means designing
software systems in such a way as they can be easily disabled.
Being fuelled by money, this new influence in free software is
susceptible to the control of any parties willing to spend enough. That
opens the possibility of a fifth column within the free software
community. I've previously argued that in future, it may be necessary
to protect the interests of free software by forking away from this
influence if it starts behaving as a fifth column.
The above response shows that this influence is already having a
detrimental affect on the quality of free software. I wonder if it
won't be necessary to fork away from this influence, purely because of
the sub-standard nature of the solutions it produces.
RealtimeKit demonstrates this sub-standard nature in that it's a
workaround. It provides an API to be used if a system call fails. This
is not a problem in itself but there seems to be no desire to spend the
time and effort needed to deal with the issue of why the system call is
failing. Instead, there seems to be only a narrow-minded drive to
produce the next-best *Kit, which will provide an all-new service to
enable our enterprise customers!
It's great that all these new Kits are putting free software in the
hands of average users. What isn't great is that they seem to be
hastily developed and without concern for the wider free software
community. There will be consequences of this lack of concern.

Follow-Up Postings:
So excited to see this (and to be able to post here, took me a while to figure out why I wasn't seeing a posting box!), we just moved to Woodinville on December 29th! Won't have much (if any)plants to trade, but did harvest seeds from my NJ garden before we left so maybe I'll have something someone would like. I'll have to make a list. Already planning on getting rid of a large part of the grass in the back yard and can't wait to garden in this mild weather! Cathie |

Can't wait Jim. We had such a nice time at your fall trade. I am doing winter sowing, but not sure if anything will be up by then. But if there is anything popping up I will bring some to share. I have sown more than I will ever ever be able to use. If no seeds are up yet, I will have to be thinking of something good to eat to bring and share. Thanks again for setting these trades up. So much fun!] Susan |

Hi Jim, I think I'll be able to attend the spring trade. Would the canna 'Bengal Tiger' meet your requirements for a "tiger-striped canna"? If so, would you have a rooted peach brug cutting available to trade for a good-sized canna clump? Patrick |
Hello Jim, I'm coming, too. Teresa |
Oh Yeah, Patrick, Bengal Tiger is what I'm talkin' about. I'd love a chunk of that. Anything you'd like to prearrange with me? I'm taking the day off and attending the Northwest Flower and Garden Show with a friend for some inspiriation. Theresa, anything you want to set up in advance? Regards, Jim |
Hello Jim, I can bring you a dahlia tuber of Wine and Roses. It is a waterlily type. I have other dahlias, but I will have to get out to the garage and see how they are doing and if I can see the eyes yet. Could you set aside a blue hosta for me? Teresa |
Dear Treepalm, I will save a chunk of Hosta 'Sagae' for the 'Wine and Roses' waterlily dahlia. That leaves just one chunk left of the Hosta for a lucky trader. FireVicar |
- Posted by Patrick888 z8 SeaTac WA (My Page) on Thu, Feb 10, 05 at 23:45
Hi Jim, I was asking if you'd trade a rooted brug cutting for a clump of 'Bengal Tiger'? I've grown a few daturas, but haven't had a chance to try a brug. Thanks, Patrick |

Last year was the first time I had ever been to this kind of trade and I had a great time. Gardeners were so generous with their treasure of plants especially to a new gardener like me . This time I will have some plants to trade. Looking forward to the Green elephant swap. Sangeeta |
Who wants a cutting of this brugmansia? I will have 20 or so rooted starts of this brugmansia for the Green Elephant. Hope to find some other colors of brugmansia at the Green Elephant. Regards, Jim |
Jim, The bottom of your brug is cut off in this picture. Do you have it in the ground???? Also, in your experience, how long (on average) does Impatiens cristata take to germinate indoors? It has been over three weeks, most of my other seedlings have popped up, but I am still waiting on cristata Hmm.. -Shilpa |
Jim, Last year I did not make it to Green Elephant. Hope to this year. I do not have much to trade. I have some aster, senecio, helleborus seedlings and kniphofia. If you would like any of these I will be interested in some that you have. Balraj |
RE: the brugmansias: I dig them up in the fall and bring them into the garage for the winter, where they sit dormant. I plant them in May when the soil warms. I have had no success trying to overwinter them in the ground. Even if I keep them free of frost, they just can't take the soggy cold soil and rot. RE: Impatiens cristata; last summer was the first time I grew them. I gave away all of my seed, so I don't have any to test for germination. Many seeds fell in the garden, which I'm counting on for this year's plants. I just don't know much about them. There is a trader Mr Impatiens on the GW who is the impatiens guru. You could find him on the Impatiens Forum. Perhaps he knows about Impatiens cristata. RE: not that much to bring . . . Just come and bring what you have. People are generous with their extras. I'd like to trade for the helliborus seedlings. I have 25 Hosta seiboldii (big blue with searsucker leaves) 2-yr old plants. They are little now, but they will get big. Spread the word to your gardening friends. Thanks, FireVicar |
- Posted by Patrick888 z8 SeaTac WA (My Page) on Sun, Feb 13, 05 at 11:32
Hi Jim.........just sent you an email! Patrick |
Dear Patrick, Yes, I will bring a lot brugmansia cuttings both rooted and ready to root, to the Green Elephant. Regards, Jim |
- Posted by Patrick888 z8 SeaTac WA (My Page) on Sun, Feb 13, 05 at 23:30
Thanks Jim! Please put my name on one and I'll bring 'Bengal Tiger' for you. Patrick |
I am looking for spent amaryllis bulbs. If you have a Christmas leftover, please bring it to the Green Elephant. I'd like to attempt a rebloom, growing several together in one pot. Also looking for Iris foetidissima, aka Gladwin Iris or Stink Iris. I can use as many as I can get. Thanks, Jim |
Hi Jim, I dug up my Sum and Substance hosta yesterday, dang hard! It looked as thought the previous owner who planted it not ony put it in a small space, but had not dug it up and divided it at all. It's a beautiful specimen, and already has buds peeking out. I think the trade with you for the black bamboo will be my only trade this year. The flowers that bloom from the S&S are very beautiful and fragrant, so I think you will be happy with it. See you next month! Kendal |
Dear Kendal, I'll bring you a monster chunk of black bamboo for the Sum and Substance Hosta. Thanks, Jim |
Hi Jim, Follow this link, and in the upper right corner you can see the Sum and Substance hosta; it's in picture 4 with the hose in it. I wish I got a closer shot, but fro what you can see it's a pretty big hosta! It's under the misc. album, and the other hosta there is also huge. The garden picture with the lattice in the back ground is a brand new shade garden I planted last spring, all the hosta I planted there were pretty small, but I guess they like where I put them because they are growing very fast. K http://community.webshots.com/user/kendal27 |
I am going to try to make this swap, but don't have a lot to offer yet. I potted up some baby hardy cyclamen (pink) for special trades. These are a great shade plant (corm) that blooms in the fall/winter, and then put out lovely heart shaped leaves. I also have lots of sunchokes (jerusalem artichokes)- great perennial vegetable. Check out my list and let me know if there is anything in particular you want. The Seattle swap has been tentatively scheduled for Sat May 21st- 11 am-3pm Same location (Casey Family Program Parking lot in Seattle's Central Area). Same open swap format- but prearranged trades also welcome. More details to be posted later. |
Dear Lynda, This year we will use the south parking lot which is right next to the playground and the indoor ammenities, so your little one can romp safely within your gaze. I'd love to get some of the cyclamen. My neighbor has a patch of it coming into bloom. The leaves are as interesting as the flowers. Did you ever dig out that big rue? If you still have it I'd like it. Regards, Jim |
- Posted by nightnurse1968 z8Washington (My Page) on Mon, Feb 21, 05 at 18:38
Hi Jim, Time is creeping up..didn't realize it was almost time for the green elephant! I would love to have a piece of your brugmansia if you have any left after trades. Also...if you could spare a tiny little itty bitty bleeding heart of any kind I would be ever so grateful. I have a few little sprouts coming up from my wintersown stuff toughing it out in these freezing nights. Maybe I will have something to bring! Babies, but something. Thanks again for your planning, Susan |
Brugmansias will be this years party favor for attending the Green elephant :) Jim |
- Posted by Michelelee z8 WA (My Page) on Tue, Feb 22, 05 at 2:30
Jim, Have been dying to get my hands on the Impatiens cristata and balfouri. I am bringing some seedlings of Campanula allairifolia and Symphyandra hoffamnii and S. pendula. (Sorry, am spelling from memory) Would you be interested in any of these? Michele |
Dear Michelelee, Bring your goodies, and I'll bring what I have. Last March, everything was growing when I brought it to the Green Elephant. This year my garden is in lock-down from the cold snap. I love the sunshine, but I'm praying for rain! IF . . . this hard frost would end, I could have some seedlings of the species impatiens. Both have germinated in the garden, and frozen back. Unlike hardy perennials, when tropicals germinate early they freeze. So I'm looking for that window of weather to open for them to sprout. If they do I will bring many. Ironically, I gave away all my own species impatiens seed last fall. I'll have plenty of seed this fall, and I think ahead to save some for myself. Interestingly, even though it's been freezing cold, the impatiens species are germinating. How does a seed germinate from frozen ground? Thought for the day. Jim |
I am so looking forward to this swap, it sounds like fun. I don't have a lot to trade, but I do make good cookies!!! and I have some small shrubs that need a good home in a wooded area. I would like to trade for some bamboo, my yard is all dirt right now, with no trees. so any plants would be well loved. thanks, nikki |
Hi..I haven't been to one of the Green Elephant Plant Swaps..but plan on making it this year. I know you asked for some really BIG bamboo..but I don't have any of that to bring....however..I do have a gallon pot of dwarf bamboo if you are interested in that. Looking forward to coming..and think a couple friends of mine are coming too. |

- Posted by Michelelee z8 WA (My Page) on Thu, Feb 24, 05 at 3:04
Jim, no idea. Just glad mine have germinated anyway so will have more to trade. A question... Do we bring in pots, bare root, plastic bags, any, all? Just wondered. Michele |
RE: how to bring seedlings. I think that seedlings in pots work well, however, I plan to bring seedslings in a little compost in ziplock bags. The seedlings are so small that they don't really suffer shock, and the bag keeps them from losing moisture. Have to be careful not to bruise them in transport. I have my father-in-law's pickup truck. I am going to fork some compost into the bed, and pack all my bareroot stock in compost. Tiny seedlings, I'll have divided into zip-locks to trade. I'll bring garbage bags for the bareroot stuff for giving away. I will bring things back home in the compost in the back of the truck. RE: dwarf bamboo, Bejoy, I'd love to trade for some of it. Jim |
- Posted by Michelelee z8 WA (My Page) on Fri, Feb 25, 05 at 13:57
Jim, Happen to have any blue hosta left? I have an Amarylis white with red stripe, foliage is still dying down. Also have some waterlily type dahlia pink with light yellow. Michele |
- Posted by Patrick888 z8 SeaTac WA (My Page) on Fri, Feb 25, 05 at 15:10
Rosalynde, I would soooo love some hardy cyclamen! Please take a look at my trade list. In a few days I will be receiving some hyacinth beans from Texas, that have been traced back 80 years to the mother plant...as well as heiloom green beans 'Earliserve'. Depending on how many I receive, these might interest you. PLMK Patrick |
I'll bring all 25 of my hosta seiboldii seedlings. Jim |
Hi Fire Vicar.. Will save a pot of dwarf bamboo for you. Looking forward to the Green Elephant Plant Swap. I am coming with my daughter, and two friends are planning on coming too I think. |
Here is a link that might be useful: My exchange page
Fire Vicar, Could you bring me a Indian rhubarb? I have a couple ideas for you, but can't think of proper names right now. I email you soon. Teresa |
The Indian Rhubarbs (Darmera peltata) are just itty-bitty one year old plants. I'll bring them all. But if you contact Linda at Thistledown Farm, she's got the big roots. I'm not sure Linda is attending the swap this spring, but she is another grower who has them. See you March 5, Jim |
Thanks FireVicar, the small plants will be fine. Would you like some mimulas guttatus? It is a native bog plant with yellow flowers. Teresa |
Please do bring the mimulus. I had that one a few years ago, but I lost it. I'd like to get another start. Thanks, Jim |
I have for Green Elephant swap Helleborus - chartreuse flowers Tell me what you have. Balraj |
Hi, I will be bringing a 3 ft boulevard cypress 2 pots knififolia 3 pots one yr old lupin 4or 5 yucca's orange day lillies baby spider plants 4inch white datura cissus quadrangula cuttings baby dr seuss brug and a few other things I can bring if asked |

Hi all, I really want to meet the local gardeners in my new home state. Since I just moved here from Savannah, GA, I was unable to bring any plants with me. I do have something that maybe would be of interest to some people, enough to share with several people. I must dispose of my peacock feathers due to allergy to the proteins in all things bird. Used to raise peacocks and have many tail feathers. They look stunning in a tall flower vase; most have eyes. These are the pricey, very long tail feathers. If there's interest in these, I can bring them for the swap and maybe trade for some plants. girlsaylor |
I am going to try to come for a short time. It will be great to meet people in person! Fire Vicar, I emailed you about possible trades. Bejoy- I would be interested in your Nora Barlow plant if it remains, and Crocosmia Lucifer. Let me know what color and how "big and showy" you like dahlias and I'll get a list together of tubers I have for trades. I also have a very deep rust with scant yellow unnamed daylily you might like. Veeja: I will gather up your dahlia tubers and bring them. Christine R. I will bring your tubers too and email you to confirm your choices from last Fall. I will also pot up some perennials for newcomers- welcome to the great state of Washington- that may include Rudbeckia, monarda in scarlet ( excellent for hummingbirds,) dark and light lavender asters, maybe shasta daisies. Whatever I have time for between today and Friday. |
My plan is to be there, but I have come down with a rather nasty chest cold complete with fever. So provided I get to feeling better by Saturday I will be there. Trade List: Foxglove mixed colors Obedient Plant (purple) Wht Calla Lily Moon Vine (Alba) Vinca Minor (Periwinkle)groundcover Creeping Jenny groundcover Lamium Yellow Arch Angel groundcover Wht Pampas Grass Unamed mixed color iris Persian Cornflower (purple) |
Not sure I can deliver on alstroemeria. I've been working in the garden and have covered them with mulch, which I do not want to disturb now. I do have the yellow foxglove, and other things mentioned. I will bring as many of everything as I can and just hope for the best at the swap. Thanks, Jim |
Oh okay Jim I understand. I'm also interested in: Phlox paniculata - garden phlox, Hot Pink Phlox paniculata - garden phlox, light lavender blue Plantago major 'atropurpurea' - Purple leaf plantain I know I have more to bring than what I listed earlier, but I just can't think clearly today....dang fever! Marc |
- Posted by SeattleSuze z8WA (My Page) on Wed, Mar 2, 05 at 12:52
This will be my first Green Elephant and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you! To trade: White foxglove *Trees are for pickup from Renton Want: Blue lupine RikerBear, hope you're feeling better. See you Saturday, |
Sorry everyone, my trade list seems to have gotten deleted from gardenweb. I don't have time to rebuild it now. I'll bring the cyclamen and do on the spot trading. I have 6 baby corms. So far 3 are reserved (Jim, Patrick, and Sangeeta). I'll bring the sunchokes for anyone, and maybe some sunchoke soup so you can see how delicious it is! I am always looking for plants that bloom in the shade or part shade (trilliums, primroses etc) I have the same chest cold that everyone has gotten recently, but am past the contagious stage now. |
I also have redworms for worm bins, or for fishing! Bumper crop. Does anyone want some? Lynda |
Riker, I can bring you a division of my thalictrum if you like plmk |
Oh yes please! Anything I can bring you veeja11? Marc |
Feeling almost back to normal today, so will indeed be at the swap/trade on Saturday. All of you who emailed me regarding specific trades I have answered your emails.....if I missed anyone please contact me again and we can firm up what you want and what you might have that I just can't live without. :-) Marc |
Riker,I will bring your plant no need to trade, I owe you. see ya there Little leaky, anything I can bring you ? |
Veeja, I would love to have a start of your thalictrum. I will bring all dahlias you wanted and more! Lots of work to do to get ready- if I have time I'm bringing my healthy whole wheat chocolate chip cookies for breakfast and quick fast-track trading calories for all. Poochella |

Hi. I'd love to come and meet some new gardening peeps, but really do not have much of anything to trade. Much of what was planted before I moved in seems to be fairly ordinary --nothing wrong with that, mind you, but am not sure how interested anyone would be in sedum Autumn Joy, plain ol' orange daylilies, etc. Should be able to bring Patrick888 some pony paks and perhaps 5 gal. pots, and could bake something gooey, too, but likely my trading will not be forthcoming until next year. Can I come?? Rain |
- Posted by blameitontherain PNW wetandwetta (My Page) on Fri, Mar 4, 05 at 13:36
Oops! I followed the link to the swap page and now I feel like a sycophant. Have goodies, will travel. Question: When does it begin and end? Thanks, Rain |
Yes indeed Rain your welcome to come. In past trades/swaps I've attended many people come with little or no plant material to trade....doesn't mean you can't come. Oh and you would be surprised who all would be thrilled to get you 'orange daylilies' and 'Autumn Joy' sedum. last year I brought 4 fair sized clumps (multiple fans) of 'Ditch Lily' and they were the first thing of mine to get snatched up. RikerBear |
Blame it on the Rain: I'm bringing Autumn Joy and plain old dark orange daylilies- we can trade and end up none the worse for wear! 10a.m.- noon is when I am going to be there. Fire Vicar, you never replied to my email so I can't send you an invite to my dahlia albums in case you wanted waterlily types. We can go over that later, if you're interested. Plenty of time til planting. I haven't even got to my dahlia sorting yet, still digging and labelling perennials..... |
Jim, I'll trade you some small Iris foetidissima for a rooted peach brugsmania. I think they're Gladwin iris but am not sure. They have insignificant small brown flowers and lovely orange seeds. thanks, Jean (bluefleur) |
- Posted by sweetflowers 7/WA (My Page) on Fri, Mar 4, 05 at 17:48
Rain, I would love to have some of your orange daylilies. Check my trade list and see if you like for something. Sangeeta |
Heirloom fingerling potatoes and heirloom egyptian walking (topsetting) onions for trade. Let me know ASAP if anyone wants them so I can pot up the onions. Lynda |
- Posted by nightnurse1968 z8Washington (My Page) on Fri, Mar 4, 05 at 18:37
I am still building my garden (will be my first spring in my new house!!). So any cast offs or extras will be greatly appreciated. I will be bringing food goodies. Thanks, Susan Nightnurse1968 |
- Posted by sweetflowers 7/WA (My Page) on Fri, Mar 4, 05 at 18:43
Lynda, Let me know what you would like in return. I would like to have both. Thanks, |
I'm bringing extra deer fern, penstemons, red bee balm, dahlia Prince Valiant(white w/wine streaks), orange daylilies, and maybe a few roses(pink and red-I don't remember which is which). Newbies, just let me know if you want me to put your name on anything. Teresa |
- Posted by SeattleSuze z8WA (My Page) on Fri, Mar 4, 05 at 19:57
Teresa, Would love penstemons if you still have. Check out my list above to see if there's anything you'd like. Linda, what would you like from my list for the fingerling potatoes? Let me know if something can be worked out! Sue |
Sue, don't worry about a trade. I'll put your name on one. Teresa |
Rosalynde, have you tried crossing your walking onions with walla walla's ? |
Teresa: Would love some Bee Balm. Since I just moved out here 2 months ago I have no plants to share but I did make up packets of seed last night I had harvested from my old garden. I have a few packets each of: Tall Snapdragons (multi color) If anyone is interested I'll write your name on a baggie! Can't wait! Cathie |
Here is a link that might be useful: Former garden....
I haven't tried crossing the egyptian onions with walla wallas. They don't make large bulbs, just small topsetting shallot-like bulbs. They also are good as a green onion most of the year. I potted up 5. One reserved for Teresa, one for Sangeeta. Tersea, I'll take a penstemon in trade. Sangeeta, I'll take a provence lavender (or other lavender) in trade.

Just had to thank every one for another wondeful trade! Came home with lots of goodies, now I just have to get them in the ground! -Shilpa |
Me too- thanks for a fun event. It's just a joy to see so many avid gardeners swapping away and it's fun to meet people in person. I am tickled pink with the goodies I got and hope people enjoy the things they got from me as well. I will be coming back to this swap for certain. I got all my plants given away and got home with all but one of my cookies! What a great day. You CAN get new plants and eat your cookies too.... |
I had a great time also, LL you were younger than I thought. Thankyou to the ladies who kept my dh full of cookies. He had fun also, can't wait to get my new goodies in the ground. thankyou all. |
I'd also like to thank everyone for tier generousity today. I recieved some wondeful things today....things that had been on my 'wish list' for quite some time. I hope you all are pleased with the things you got from me. I just finished getting all my new babies into their new homes. And now it's hot tub time (my back hurts) :-) RikerBear |
I wish I had more time to stick around, but we wanted to get up to Cougar Mountan before it got to busy.

Thnks to Teresa for the ferns, and Shilpa for the day lillies. As my trees and bamboo grows up taller, and I get more shade I'll have lots of sun loving plants to trade as time goes by. Kendal |
Thanks everyone for all the wonderful plants! It was a great trade, as usual. I had to leave early, so I didn't get to visit as much as I would have liked with all of you. Thanks Jim for hosting! Teresa |
Serendipity: A radiant spring day. A million thanks, Jim |

Many Many thanks to everyone is all I can say. I came home with so many wonderful things and met some very friendly people. My garden is really filling out and I look forward to the day I can share from it. Half of everything is in the ground. My inlaws have come for their first visit since I was married in the fall, so we had to stop when they arrived. Maybe the rest will get in before the weekend is out! A special thank you to Jim for being the organizer and providing the location. |
I would like to thank the person who gave my dh the baggie of cookies, when younger I might have been jealous, but thanks to you he stayed whole swap without complaining and when we got home and I was bringing my plant loot into the yard, he looked so cute with his little bag of cookies. thankyou. he loves your cookies. carol |
thank you, thank you. that was so much fun, my two girls didn't even want to leave. what a great time we had. The black bamboo is wonderful addition to our new yard, it has set the stage for everything else to follow. I am still smiling over it's beauty!! you are welcome to anything in my yard except "THE BLACK BEAUTY". just let me know. and thanks again for all the other beautiful gifts. |
Veeja, you thought I'd be old??? NEVER! Middle age = my age +10 years, which is going to be tough to explain at age 80, but I will try if I get there. Nikki of all the wonderful things I saw at the swap, I am most envious of that gorgeous black bamboo- very stunning. I have yet to get my Indian Plums, dogwood and mock orange located in the yard, then all my goods will be planted. |

This was my second swap at Green elephant and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you Jim for oraganizing this and encouraging me to come to the swap the first time when I barely had any plants to share. I was pleased with my all my trades. Thank you Janine for the Acanthus- I have been looking for it for sometime. I didn't realize it was you. Yes the bamboos are doing great!!! Sangeeta |

Adreno Cortical Carcinoma / Adreno Cortical Cancer / Cancer of the Adrenal Cortex / Adrenal Cortex Cancer
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an incompletely understood rare malignancy with poor treatment outcome and prognosis. |
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare but aggressive form of cancer that affects the outer layer (cortex) of the adrenal glands situated atop the kidneys. The cortex has several important functions such as producing adrenaline, nor adrenaline and steroid hormones besides controlling heart beat rate and blood pressure.
This condition affects about 1-2 million people annually; children below the age of 6 years and adults aged between 30-40 years are the most affected.
The adrenal is an important hormonal gland of the body and produces glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and sex hormones hence the cancer of this gland can cause excess production of these hormones leading to many syndromes depending on the cell type that proliferates. Sometimes the cell type that proliferates may not produce a functional tumor.
In children when it manifests as a cancer it is usually a functional tumor. Virilization is by far the most common presenting symptom, followed by Cushing's syndrome and precocious puberty.
Cancer Prevention thro' Lifestyle Changes - Slideshow | Quiz on Cancer |
In adults the presentation maybe as a functional tumor or a non-functional tumor (almost in 40%). Among functional tumors the most common is Cushing's syndrome, followed by mixed Cushing's and virilization. Feminization and Conn syndrome (due to mineralcorticoid excess) occur in less than 10% of cases.
Like any cancer this can also often invade nearby tissues or spread to distant organs like bone, liver and lungs.

LAS VEGAS - Singer Wayne Newton will receive the Bob Hope lifetime service award at the upcoming Las Vegas Comedy Festival for his efforts entertaining U.S. military personnel.
The festival will run Oct. 29-Nov. 2 at the Stardust Resort and Casino, where Newton is the resident headliner. The Smothers Brothers, the Improv's Budd Friedman and comedian Rita Rudner also will be honored.
Newton took over Hope's USO duties two years ago as celebrity figurehead on tours.
"Wayne Newton has brought a lot of smiles and laughter to Las Vegas for the last 40 years. It's great he's being honored for his work entertaining our troops overseas. I'm sure Bob Hope would be smiling knowing his legacy continues," Stardust spokesman Rob Stillwell said Wednesday.
Tom and Dick Smothers will receive a career achievement award, Friedman will be honored with the Steve Allen Pioneer of Comedy Award and Rudner, a headliner at the Strip's New York-New York gambling resort, will receive the comedian of the year award, presented by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

"Your choice of brush always depends on your hair type," says Monahan. Most hair types will benefit from a mixed bristle brush—half nylon, half boar. (Not sure what your hair type is? We break it down for you with this handy guide.)
But here's the tricky part: The color and texture of your hair changes with age. If your hair has become thin or dry, Monahan suggests a natural bristle brush. "A natural bristle brush will help redistribute sebum from the scalp which, in turn, moisturizes the lengths of the hair." These bristles also work to stimulate the scalp, which promote healthy hair growth, she says. Click through to learn all about the different bristle types.

When discussing which type of cookies I should make this year for Christmas, my Mom suggested melting moments. She told me I had to make them. She said they were so good and so melt in your mouth with the cornstarch and powdered sugar along with their subtle sweetness! Of course she suggested them, I remember when I was about 5 she bought a cookie press to make a cute design in the top of cookies like melting moments, and that press came with a recipe for them. She made them for years after that, and they became one of her favorite Christmas cookies. In my mind, they were good, but never really stood out. But I thought, what the heck, I can make them this year anyhow, and put my own spin on them. I searched forever for the recipe she used to use but came up empty. I found another one in a magazine, but wasn't quite happy with it so I tweaked it a little to my liking (since I never leave recipes alone). When my Mom made melting moments, she did not make sandwich cookies, but I have seen that some people do. I wanted to do this with mine this time.
I decided that I wanted a vanilla mint cookie with a mint fudge filling...Christmassy all the way, but non-traditional. I am never traditional when it comes to recipes. I wanted to tint the dough a lovely light green to hint at the presence of the mint...and it was a beautiful hue!
I thought it would be even more beautiful if I rolled the cookies in this light green finishing sugar I had in my cupboard, but it was nowhere to be found. I must have used it in another recipe a while back, so I used plain sparkling white sugar instead. I feel that every cookie tray at Christmas should have some sparkle. The melting moments sans the filling were delicious. The light mint and vanilla flavor married well with the light cookie. But the finished cookies with the fudge were amazing! The fudge was a simple mixture of agave nectar and cocoa powder enhanced with vanilla and mint. So simple but so decadent tasting and perfect for the inside of my cookies.
They were scrumptious, and I ate way too many. But you are allowed extra cookie tasting around the Holidays. Now I know why they are called melting moments. It takes only a moment to devour them. Here is my recipe so you can bake up a batch if you wish!
Minty Melting Moments
Makes 16 sandwich cookies
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
3/4 cup (12 Tbsp) Earth Balance vegan butter
about 6 drops natural green food coloring (plant based)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp peppermint extractgranulated sugar for dipping
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder1/2 cup agave nectar
a good pinch of sea salt
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
Preheat oven to 300, and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and sea salt. In a large bowl, beat butter, green food coloring, powdered sugar, vanilla, and peppermint until smooth, then beat in the flour mixture until well combined. Roll the dough by the rounded Tbsp into balls. Dip top half of balls in granulated sugar, and place on baking sheet, sugared side up. Press down slightly with the bottom of a glass, and bake for 10 minutes until just set. Cool completely on a wire rack. To make filling, whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until smooth.

February 2011: O.P. Bhatt reflected contentedly on his five-year term as Chairman of State Bank of India (SBI), India's largest commercial bank. He had led SBI on a journey of transformation from an old, hierarchical, transaction oriented, government bank to a modern, customer focused, and technologically advanced universal bank. In 2006, when Bhatt assumed leadership, SBI had been losing market share for over two decades to private and foreign banks. Analysts and industry observers had predicted that at the prevailing growth rates ICICI Bank, a private bank launched in 1994, would overtake SBI in terms of deposits in four years. However, by 2010, SBI had more than doubled its profits, deposits and advances; regained market share and won the Asian Banker Achievement award for the strongest bank in the Asia Pacific region.

I came across a website that will provide you a report so you can see the info that banks see when you apply for a checking/savings account -
This can come in handy if you've had an overdrawn account that was closed. That stays on the report for 5 years and you can be denied if you try to open a checking or savings account.
Many banks and CUs pull Chex. Definitely worth keeping tabs on.
Definitely worth pulling the free annual report to know what banks are seeing.
It's actually a more comprehensive picture of the individual than a typical CRA report. They track not only bounced checks and overdrafts, but liens, evictions, felonies, and more. Most interesting to me is the WealthIndex score that appears to rank your net worth on a scale of 0 to 6. I get a 3, which is about what I would expect having a car and some investment accounts, but not owning my home. Smack dab in the middle...time to start building my real estate empire!
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.

Brass Playing Is No Harder Than Deep Breathing
Brass Playing Is No Harder Than Deep Breathing composed by Claude Gordon. For all brass instruments (trumpet, trombone, horn, tuba, etc.). Instructional and Technique. Instructional book. Standard notation. 35 pages. Published by Carl Fischer (CF.O5145).
ISBN 0825828708. With Standard notation. Instructional and Technique. 9x12 inches.
The raison d'etre for a new textbook (Brass Playing...) in a field which has been served by many superb works over the years arises from the conviction that a distinct need exists for an approach to modern trumpet-playing that carefully articulates what the true virtuosos of brass instruments have all known but possesses a rare ability fo carefully interpret the art of brass-playing and to take the mystery out of successful brass study, he was urged by many of his fellow professional players to put down in written form what he has been so successfully transferring to his students over the years.

Ok, so I am a hobby baker and have been making cakes for family and friends for about a year. I am also employed full time and finishing my MBA...and did I mention a single mom. So at a family function a few months ago it was brought up that my nephew's graduation is the same day as my dad's half-brother's step-daughter.....I remember clearly that I said at the time that I don't make more than two cakes a month or so and certainly not two the same week and had planned on making my nephew's cake. I get on facebook today and she has posted under the picture of the cake I made this weekend. "Graduation is May 28th in Columbus, 10am at East & 1pm at North. Amy would love something bright, pretty, & with polka dot.".....My nephew goes to East and her daughter goes to North....not a please would you make or anything let alone the fact that I already told her I would not do it as I am making my nephew's....thanks for letting me vent.. some people are just so self absorbed they have no idea the rest of the world is not revolving around them..

Just want to mentione that you have to leave space between the button and the fabric, so that the other side of the waistcoat fits very nicley under the buttons. That would give a cleaner look.

Etisalat and Musanada sign MoU for the Abu Dhabi Government Network (ADNET)
ADNET will provide highly secure and reliable connections between all of Abu Dhabi's governmental entities.
June 1, 2010 9:40 by Rasha Reslan
Abu Dhabi, 31 May 2010: As part of Abu Dhabi's e-government service initiative, Etisalat and Abu Dhabi General Services "Musanada", signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), to establish a government-wide network (ADNET) that will provide highly secure and reliable connections between all of Abu Dhabi's governmental entities. Signing the MoU were Musanada Chief Executive Officer, H.E Mohamed Al-Fahed Al-Mehairi and Etisalat's Senior Vice President – Enterprise Solutions, Abdullah Hashim.
The ADNET MoU signed at a ceremony held on the Musanada premises in Abu Dhabi marked the soft launch of ADNET and the completion of the implementation of the network infrastructure and the establishment of a 24×7 Network Operations Centre (NOC).
The ADNET Implementation Programme', managed by Musanada and led by Abu Dhabi Systems and Information Centre (ADSIC), is a strategic eGovernment initiative that will deliver a shared government network for Abu Dhabi entities and will provide a cost-effective and secure connectivity to shared government services. This is an important step towards consistent services across all government entities with service level agreements that will drive service performance.
The MoU signing with Etisalat demonstrates Musanada's commitment for establishing a Master Services Agreement across the core services that will be provided by Etisalat, namely: Managed WAN and Router Services, Internet over Ethernet and Connectivity between Data Centers.
At the ceremony, H.E. Mohamed Al Mehairi, CEO of Musanada said, "The commitment, creative thinking and hard work from everyone involved (Etisalat, ADSIC and Musanada) has enabled us to achieve this important milestone and in turn, supporting this exceptional government to achieve its 2030 vision whose ultimate goal is to deliver world class services to the citizens of Abu Dhabi. I commend the ADNET team for their efforts in this achievement. The value of ADNET will be realized once all entities are migrated and accessing shared services through the platform".
Executive Director of Technology Services at Musanada, Dr. Mahir Nayfeh, commented, "The soft launch is a significant milestone for ADNet. The focus of the project team is now set on the rollout of ADNET to government entities and supporting existing customers".
Following the soft launch, ADSIC is the first government entity to be migrated to ADNET, and consequently, more than 100 government entities are planned for migration during 2010 and 2011.
Isam Omran, Musanada's Senior Programme Delivery Manager for ADNET announced that the service is now officially live with ADSIC as its first customer and that the 24/7 Network Operations Centre located in Mohamed Bin Zayed City is also ready to take calls for Service Requests or Incidents. Preparation is firmly underway for the migration of ADAA, FDF and GSEC over the next few weeks".
ADNET is based on Abu Dhabi's vision of providing world class government services, and to ensure its readiness to provide e-Gov services, Etisalat will contribute in building an infrastructure that will be a critical link between the various government services and end-users (individuals, businesses, governmental entities and government employees), thus creating a fundamental foundation for all e-government initiatives.
According to Abdullah Hashim, Sr. Vice President / Business Solutions, Etisalat, "In line with the 2030 vision, the Abu Dhabi Government is rapidly making advances in using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to enhance service delivery. As the region's leading telecom solutions provider, Etisalat is proud to be partnering the Government in its ADNET initiative and supporting its progress."
"By leveraging Etisalat's leading edge technology, this initiative will boost government efficiency and improve delivery of citizen services, addressing important societal challenges and empowering individual organizations, governments and citizens to reach their full potential through technology. This will not only make the lives of Abu Dhabi residents easier by reducing time taken to deliver services, improving internal processes and providing tangible benefits, but will also enhance customer satisfaction", Hashim further added.

Big four banks becoming risky, expensive: Aberdeen
PUBLISHED: 28 Nov 2013 18:07:00 | UPDATED: 05 Dec 2013 09:23:47PUBLISHED: 29 Nov 2013 PRINT EDITION: 29 Nov 2013Aberdeen's Bruce Stout believes the big four Aussie banks are becoming pricy and risky. Photo: Josh Robenstone
Bianca Hartge-Hazelman
Global fund manager Aberdeen Asset Management warns ultra-low interest rates and policy stimulus are making Australia's big four banks a risky and expensive place to invest.
Aberdeen's global equities senior investment manager, Bruce Stout, has joined a chorus of international managers who are underweight banks, including Australia's major banks, amid fears that central banks are fuelling an asset bubble in housing markets at a time when lending standards are being relaxed.
"Australian banks are three times book value and are certainly not cheap any more and you have got higher property prices and all sorts of difficult lending situations so they have to be watched very closely," said Mr Stout.
Higher dividend yields, expectations of bonus capital returns and increased activity in the Australian housing market have helped fuel gains in Australian bank shares for over 12 months.
Since January, the financials index has jumped 25.6 per cent and is the local market's second best performing after the consumer discretionary sector. The gain is nearly double the 14.9 per cent return on benchmark S&P/ASX 200.
Some investment bankers regard the share prices of Commonwealth Bank, Westpac Banking Group, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group and National Australia Bank as being too pricey compared with international banks.
Deutsche Bank equities strategist Tim Baker said in a note to investors that on a price-earnings ratio basis, Australian banks are at a 33 per cent premium to their global counterparts, versus the long-run average of 9 per cent. Similarly, Australian banks trade at a hefty price-to-book premium of 86 per cent versus the long-run average of 35 per cent.
Shares in CBA are up 24 per cent at $78.02 this year, Westpac is up 26 per cent at $33, ANZ up 28 per cent to $32.04 and NAB is 37 per cent higher to $35.67.
But taking a contrarian view is Goldman Sachs Asset Management's Dion Hershan, who thinks that claims the banks are expensive are often a reflection of "clumsy metrics used in valuations".
He added that the risks to the banks of a bubble forming in the housing market also lack support.
"There is no evidence of a mortgage binge. Property prices didn't move for five years but income growth did. Confidence is now higher, so it doesn't surprise me that there has been a bit of catch-up in the property market. There is also evidence that mortgage arrears are getting better," said Mr Hershan.
Aussie banks at risk of correction in 2014
Still, many experts argue that the major Australian banks are at risk of a correction next year once higher interest rates look more likely and easy money within the global financial system starts to dry out.
"Part of what has been fuelling the rise in the bank share prices is the chase for yield from the low interest rate environment domestically," said Bell Direct equities analyst Julia Lee. "Investors will need to be cautious once interest rate rises are factored in. Our view is that rates will be on hold over at least the next 12 months so the decrease in demand for bank shares from rising interest rates is something to consider 6-8 months down the track."
Since the end of the financial crisis, central banks have used stimulus and record low interest rates to not only encourage economic growth but to help global banks recover from an increase in mortgage arrears and drop in borrowing.
"Printing money for central banks at the moment is like a drug, an opium that they can't get off so how they ultimately can restore some normality in monetary policy I have no idea," said Mr Stout. "But they [central banks] have created an extremely friendly environment if you like for banks where the cost of funding is so low with the ability for them to lend so easily but the loans that they make today are important because they will ultimately turn out to be the problem loans of the future, if they don't properly do their homework on who they are lending money to.
"It's the type of situation where you have to be extremely cautious because the liquidity situation in three to five years time isn't going to be the same as it is today," said Mr Stout.
Banks well-placed to capitalise on housing boom
Concerns that the major banks might be trying to attract borrowers who can least afford to take out debt has also attracted attention in recent weeks. Maximum loan-to-value (LVRs) ratios have returned to pre-financial crisis levels, allowing people will small deposits to make the most of historically low interest rates.
Increased activity in the housing market has seen national median house prices climb more than 8 per cent in the past year and Sydney's median home value has risen 11.6 per cent in the same period to more than $722,000, according to Australian Property Monitors.
Indeed Ms Lee said that while Australian banks are expensive, this could be justified. "It means that investors are paying a premium today for future growth. That premium is justified if the expected future growth eventuates or is better than expected," she said.
In the financial year to June 30, 2013 Australian banks saw 8 per cent earnings growth with a 3 per cent due to a fall in bad debts. Consensus for fiscal 2014 is for growth to ease back to 5 per cent. With the housing market improving in Australia, banks are expected to be well placed to capitalise on the housing boom. Also with fully franked dividend yields at 6 to 7 per cent, they still look attractive for income investors.
Despite this Ms Lee prefers market related financial stocks such as Macquarie Group, Perpetual and Challenger to the banks, due to an expectation for higher capital growth.

A few hours after Joel received Twersky's email, he forwarded it to Sheldon Socol, Y.U.'s vice president of business affairs.
"Sheldon, this fellow called me three years ago, while fresh from the Lanner case to ask my advice re suing Y.U. over alleged harassment by George Finkelstein — to wit, wrestling with him in the principal's office," Joel wrote. It was in the note to Socol that Joel said he told Twersky three years ago "to get on with his life." He asked Socol how to proceed now.
In his response, Socol told Joel not to reply to Twersky.
"There was prior correspondence with him years ago and Israel Miller [a former senior vice president of Y.U., who died in 2002] met with him," Socol replied. "It was then decided after listening to Twersky's claim that it lacked substance and Twersky was so advised."
Socol added that he would "try to locate the file on the matter." But, he told Joel "you, as President, should not (at this point) become directly involved."
According to Twersky, Joel never responded to his 2004 email.
Asked if Y.U.'s investigators had been given access to the 2004 email, Michael Scagnoli, the school's chief spokesman, said, "As you know, we cannot comment on any matters relating to the litigation."
In previous interviews with the Forward, Twersky said that Miller invited him to visit in Jerusalem, in 2000. The visit was a response to a correspondence Twersky sent to Y.U.'s then-president, Lamm, complaining of being abused by Finkelstein.
Twersky said Miller dissuaded him from taking legal action.

Great school!
All of my children went to this school. This school has had a few problems along the way, but what place doesn't? It is a great place to raise children in rural area free from city commotion. It is a great place to be a big fish in a small pond. All of my children participated in sports, drama, cheer, leadership, and many community opportunities. Test scores in this school swing from one end of the pendulum to another because when there are only 12 students in class and one or two struggle, the percentages give a skewed perspective. Teachers get to know your child very well.

Columbia Heights Police Warn of Telephone Scam | Crime
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The Columbia Heights Police Department is warning about an alleged telephone scam reported in the community.
According to the police department, a suspect called the victim and said they were under an IRS investigation. The suspect then offered to settle the matter in exchange for a money card purchased from Walgreen's.
The victim said the caller used a device to change the caller ID to that of the Columbia Heights Police Department and threatened to arrest the victim if they didn't turn over money.
The victim avoided the scam and reported it to police, Columbia Heights officers say.
The Columbia Heights Police Department is reminding community members that they will never ask someone to settle a matter by buying money cards or offering bank information over the phone.
