Fatal disseminated Acanthamoeba lenticulata infection in a heart transplant patient.
We report a fatal case of disseminated acanthamebiasis caused by Acanthamoeba lenticulata (genotype T5) in a 39-year-old heart transplant recipient. The diagnosis was based on skin histopathologic results and confirmed by isolation of the ameba from involved skin and molecular analysis of a partial 18S rRNA (DF3).**********
Acanthamoeba is 1 of 3 genera of free-living amebae that commonly cause disease in humans (1). These protozoa have been implicated in local infections, such as amebic keratitis, mainly in immunocompetent contact lens wearers, and in the mostly fatal, granulomatous amebic encephalitis in immunocompromised patients with HIV/ AIDS and immunosuppressant-treated patients, including organ transplant recipients (2-4). Disseminated acanthamebiasis (DA), which is defined as widespread extracerebral disease, is extremely rare, but its incidence has increased in recent years (5). Among DA reported, only 5 occurred in solid organ (3 lung and 2 kidney) transplant recipients (4). We report a fatal case of DA in a heart transplant recipient and identify Acanthamoeba lenticulata (genotype T5) as the cause of life-threatening disease.
The Case
A 39-year-old man from Martinique had received a second heart transplant in March 2004 because of chronic rejection. He had received his first transplant 14 years earlier because of alcohol-related dilated cardiomyopathy. Skin complications included epidermoid carcinoma on the fight leg in 1995 and diffuse viral warts on the trunk in 2003. Maintenance immunosuppression after the second heart transplant in 2004 included cyclosporine (220 mg/ day), prednisone (20 mg/day), and mycophenolate mofetil (500 mg/day). The latter drug was withdrawn because of pancytopenia. Postsurgery complications included acute refractory bleeding (aortic anastomosis), cytomegalovirus infection of the gut, bacterial pulmonary infection, and postoperative renal failure that required chronic hemodialysis that prolonged his stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) to 5 months.
In January 2006, after a short visit to Martinique, the patient was transferred to our institution because of fever, dyspnea, and acute costal and back pain, with suspected osteitis underlying cutaneous lesions. Two months earlier, 4 trunk and leg abscesses or carbunclelike skin lesions had developed. Despite oral antistaphylococcal therapy, these lesions spread and became ulcerated and painful. Three ulcerated, violaceous plaques with undermined deep-infiltrated margins were present: 1 on the trunk (largest diameter 5 cm) (Figure, panel A) and 1 on each thigh. Three subcutaneous abscesses were present on the trunk and their puncture yielded a brown liquid. The differential diagnosis included pyoderma gangrenosum, neutrophilic dermatoses, mycobacteriosis, cutaneous bacterial infection, and calciphylaxis (chronic hemodialysis).
The first histologic examination of a periulcerated skin lesion (punch biopsy specimen) showed diffuse dermal and hypodermal neutrophil infiltration and sparse histiocytelike cells (Figure, panel B). No infectious elements were identified. Biologic data indicated an inflammatory syndrome (Creactive protein 250 mg/L [normal <5 mg/L], procalcitonin 25 ng/mL [normal <1 ng/mL]), with increased elevated circulating neutrophil counts (10.9 x [10.sup.9] cells/L) and anemia (hemoglobin 7 g/dL). Cultures of blood, abscess fluid, and involved skin were repeatedly negative for bacterial, mycotic, or parasitic agents. A computed tomographic body scan showed a massive abscess under the left kidney associated with pulmonary nodules without cutaneous calciphylaxis. Positron emission tomography scan confirmed those abnormalities and showed extensive and severe bone osteomyelitis.
Atypical pyoderma gangrenosum with visceral involvement was considered and treated with 3 intravenous prednisolone pulses. After minor initial improvement, the patient's condition deteriorated, and 10 days later septic shock associated with multiorgan failure developed. Surgical periulcer skin biopsy specimens were obtained in the ICU and specific parasite investigations were conducted. DA was then diagnosed. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of histologic sections showed cysts and trophozoites (30 lam diameter) in the dermal-hypodermal junction within polymorphous inflammatory granulomas associated with ischemic necrosis (Figure, panels C and D). The presence of Acanthamoeba sp. was confirmed by culturing amebae from involved skin on agar plates coated with Escherichia coli. In an indirect assay, the patient's serum showed weak immunofluorescence labeling against his own cultured cysts or vegetative amebae.
Molecular identification of DNA extracted from the isolated amebae was made by using the UNSET method (6). A diagnostic small subunit rDNA fragment (ASA.S1) was amplified by using JDP1 and JDP2 primers, and its differentiating fragment (DF3) was sequenced by using an internal 892c primer (7). The sequence of the DF3 subset that contains the highly variable and informative section in the ASA.S 1 region of the Acanthamoeba isolate was visually compared with those of different published genotypes (T1-T15) (Table). Genotype T5 was identified (European Molecular Biology Laboratory accession no. AM411530). No drug-of-choice exists for treating DA. Despite treatment with pentamidine, 5-fluorocytosine, and itraconazole, the infection was rapidly fatal. Although analysis of cerebrospinal fluid obtained on days 5 and 18 after admission to the ICU showed no biochemical or parasite data suggestive of granulomatous amebic encephalitis, callus corpus necrosis was observed on a computed tomographic brain scan on day 18. The patient died of multiorgan failure on day 23. Family members refused to allow an autopsy.
Protozoan infections are rare in heart transplant recipients, unlike in lung transplant recipients (8,9). To our knowledge, our patient, whose DA involved skin, bones, lungs, intraabdominal organs, and perhaps the brain, represents the first case to be reported in a heart transplant recipient. In a recent review of the literature, Duarte et al. (4) reported 5 cases of DA in lung (60%) or kidney (40%) transplant recipients. DA was difficult to diagnose in the patient, with 60% of the diagnoses made postmortem, which is similar to 74% of the diagnoses in 23 HIV/AIDS patients (2). The patient's clinical picture was atypical because his lesions were pyodermalike ulcers with subcutaneous abscesses, whereas the most frequently reported clinical skin manifestations were painful nodules, purpura, and pustules (10). Furthermore, the first histologic examination did not identify cysts. Acanthamoeba trophozoites with characteristic acanthopodia, cytoplasmic vacuoles, and a prominent nucleolus, especially in dermal vessels, were observed only after staining of the second biopsy specimen with hematoxylin and eosin in a context of strong clinical suspicion of DA. When reexamined retrospectively, the first skin biopsy specimen contained some pathogens, but trophozoites had been misidentified as histiocytelike cells.
Another important finding was the identification of the DA-causative agent as genotype T5, which is commonly found in the environment (11) and corresponds to A. lenticulata. This species has been isolated from nasal mucosa of persons without documented amebic infection (12). Although A. lenticulata has been shown to be pathogenic (12), genotype T5 was only recently isolated from a patient with keratitis (13). To our knowledge, our patient has the first case in which genotype T5 is the etiologic agent of a nonkeratitis, life-threatening DA infection.
Acanthamoeba spp. are free-living amebae found in soil, water, air, humans, and various animals (14). Depending on the molecular methods used (i.e., nuclear 18S rRNA or 16S rRNA mitochondrial gene amplification), 15 genotype sequences have been identified in environmental and human strains (T1-T15, Table). While genotype T4 is the most prevalent (79% of isolates) (15), only 1 A. lenticulata strain isolated from a patient with ocular keratitis had genotype T5 (13).
This case should alert physicians to a rare but life-threatening infection with A. lenticulata (genotype T5) in a heart transplant recipient. In organ transplant patients, when sterile cutaneous ulcers or subcutaneous abscesses develop that fail to respond to antibacterial treatments and pulse corticosteroids, histologic analysis should emphasize identifying Acanthamoeba spp.

Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia account for 80% of all dementias but the cause was unknown.
They monitored the occurrence of spontaneous cerebral emboli in 170 patients with dementia (85 with Alzheimer's disease, 85 with vascular dementia) and 150 controls of the same sex and age.
They detected cerebral emboli in 32 (40%) of patients with Alzheimer's disease and 31 (37%) of those with vascular dementia in only one hour of monitoring, compared with just 12 each (15% and 14%) of their controls. This suggests that both types of dementia have more in common than we've thought before, say the authors.
This study is the first of this type and more research is needed, but the authors conclude that spontaneous cerebral emboli are significantly associated with both Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia and may represent a potentially preventable or treatable cause of both types of dementia.

The U.S. State Department declined to comment on Hernandez's numerical estimates. And Seth Waxman, an associate deputy attorney general in the Justice Department, says, "There is no such plan" to bring a majority of the Cuban refugees into the United States in the next few months.
Other sources in the Clinton administration contend that Hernandez's estimates are overly optimistic. For one thing, although the Ad Hoc Committee has adeptly anticipated and sidestepped domestic political fallout, its plan does not address an even more daunting potential problem: A large influx of Cuban refugees into the U.S. might well inspire a renewal of the exodus. Further, administration sources say that under the current guidelines for admitting refugees (this past October President Clinton asserted that only elderly or extremely ill refugees, or families with children, would be allowed to enter the U.S.), no more than 10,000 detainees would be eligible, as opposed to Hernandez's estimate of up to 20,000. (Joe Pena, the governor's special assistant, says administration officials in Washington have told Chiles that the number likely would be between 6000 and 8000.) And although the federal government is considering broadening the criteria to include refugees who fear political persecution, sources predict that category will be so narrowly defined that it won't apply to more than 1000 additional people. Finally, refugees are to be screened on a case-by-case basis, a process that will take months, if not years, to complete. (Late this past Friday afternoon, after speaking with New Times, Justice Department officials issued a press release re-emphasizing federal policy.)
In fact, the Clinton administration is preparing to build permanent facilities to house 20,000 rafters at Guantanamo indefinitely -- or, as one official put it, "until Castro is gone.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Affluenza, a portmanteau of affluence and influenza, is a term used by critics of consumerism. The book Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic defines it as "a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety, and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more."[1] The term "affluenza" has also been used to refer to inability to understand the consequences of one's actions because of financial privilege, notably in the case of Ethan Couch.[2]
British psychologist Oliver James asserts that there is a correlation between the increasing nature of affluenza and the resulting increase in material inequality: the more unequal a society, the greater the unhappiness of its citizens.[3] Referring to Vance Packard's thesis The Hidden Persuaders on the manipulative methods used by the advertising industry, James relates the stimulation of artificial needs to the rise in affluenza. To highlight the spread of affluenza in societies with varied levels of inequality, James interviewed people in several cities including Sydney, Singapore, Auckland, Moscow, Shanghai, Copenhagen and New York.
James also believes that higher rates of mental disorders are the consequence of excessive wealth-seeking in consumerist nations.[4] In a graph created from multiple data sources, James plots "Prevalence of any emotional distress" and "Income inequality," attempting to show that English-speaking nations have nearly twice as much emotional distress as mainland Europe and Japan: 21.6 percent vs 11.5 percent.[5] James defines affluenza as 'placing a high value on money, possessions, appearances (physical and social) and fame', and this becomes the rationale behind the increasing mental illness in English-speaking societies. He explains the greater incidence of affluenza as the result of 'selfish capitalism', the market liberal political governance found in English-speaking nations as compared to the less selfish capitalism pursued in mainland Europe. James asserts that societies can remove the negative consumerist effects by pursuing real needs over perceived wants, and by defining themselves as having value independent of their material possessions.
Clive Hamilton and Richard Denniss' book, Affluenza: When Too Much is Never Enough, poses the question: "If the economy has been doing so well, why are we not becoming happier?" (p vii). They argue that affluenza causes over-consumption, "luxury fever," consumer debt, overwork, waste, and harm to the environment. These pressures lead to "psychological disorders, alienation and distress" (p 179), causing people to "self-medicate with mood-altering drugs and excessive alcohol consumption" (p 180).
They note that a number of Australians have reacted by "downshifting" — they decided to "reduce their incomes and place family, friends and contentment above money in determining their life goals." Their critique leads them to identify the need for an "alternative political philosophy," and the book concludes with a "political manifesto for wellbeing."[6]
In December 2013, State District Judge Jean Boyd sentenced a North Texas teenager, Ethan Couch[7][8] to 10 years probation for drunk driving and killing four pedestrians and injuring 11[9] after his attorneys successfully argued that the teen suffered from affluenza (though in this case, the lawyer used the term 'affluenza' to mean that Couch was unable to understand the consequences of his actions because of his financial privilege) and needed rehabilitation, and not prison.[10] The defendant was witnessed on surveillance video stealing beer from a store, driving with seven passengers in a Ford F-350 stolen from his father, speeding (70 MPH in a 40 MPH zone), and had a blood alcohol content of .24%, three times the legal limit for an adult in Texas, when he was tested 3 hours after the accident. Traces of Valium were also in his system. G. Dick Miller, a psychologist hired as an expert by the defense, testified in court that the teen was a product of affluenza and was unable to link his bad behavior with consequences due to his parents teaching him that wealth buys privilege.[10] The rehabilitation facility near Wichita Falls, Texas that the teen will be attending will cost roughly $700 a day, however Couch will be paying only a portion of that.[11][10][12][13] At a February 5, 2014 hearing, Eric Boyles, whose wife and daughter were killed in the crash, said "Had he not had money to have the defense there, to also have the experts testify, and also offer to pay for the treatment, I think the results would have been different."[10]
The trademark for the word "AFFLUENZA" is currently held by B.I.M. Imaging.[14]
1. The mean prevalences of emotional distress for the six English-speaking nations combined is 21.6%. The mean for the other nations, mainland Western Europe plus Japan, is 11.5%.

Instead in 1993 then-county Commissioner Pedro Reboredo hired Gonzalez as a special assistant. Reboredo had longstanding political and business ties to Nicaragua. He was a major supporter of President Arnoldo Alemán, for whom he hosted election-campaign fundraisers. (Alemán has since been convicted of embezzling millions of public dollars. The Miami Herald has reported that Reboredo was the legal director of a company Alemán may have used to launder some of that money.)
Reboredo, you may remember, has had his own problems. In 2001 he pleaded no contest to exploiting his office for keeping two no-show employees on his payroll. He was forced to resign from the commission. But by then Reboredo had successfully placed Gonzalez at the county's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
That hire boggles the mind. What kind of place would employ a doctor who misdiagnosed at least seventeen patients, when the position required him to "review inmate medical records"? And it wasn't easy. Reboredo had to lean on ex-county manager Armando Vidal, who in turn had to seek absolution from the county attorney's office -- which he got, sort of. In a December 19, 1997, memo, county attorney Robert Ginsburg responded to Vidal's question whether "a county employee possessing a revoked medical license may work as a medical contract compliance specialist." Ginsburg's conclusion: "Based upon the attached job description, and the legal authority reviewed, the employee technically appears to be able to work as a medical contract specialist since a valid medical license is not required by the job description."
That's all Vidal needed to please Reboredo, so it's possible the ex-manager never even read the last paragraph of the memo. It states, "The attached job description, however, ... is sufficiently general to permit acts that could require medical licensure.... In light of the fact that the subject employee has had his license revoked, the county would likely be liable if the employee were to be found negligent in the performance of his duties. Whether the county would want to incur this potential risk is an administrative decision, not a legal one."
In his seven years at corrections, Gonzalez has managed to avoid being sued for negligence. And if you believe his annual evaluation forms, he has done an "outstanding" job. I called him to discuss his colorful past and how it might affect his work. "I don't touch no inmate here, sir," he began defensively. "I don't have nothing to do with the practice of medicine."
But what about reviewing inmates' medical records?
"Just like at the insurance company when they review medical records, that's what I do," he said. Then, perhaps sensing that the conversation was headed toward the touchy subject of erroneously reviewed medical charts and misdiagnosed patients, he continued: "When I do that, I don't do that by myself. Usually a nurse is with me."
And that was about all he cared to offer on the subject. "I don't want to answer any more questions," he said.
I can understand why. The time for accountability has long passed. He is now a proud employee of the corrections and rehabilitation department, the home of second chances.

Another spot to get more video codecs that cover proprietary formats is fluendo. You actually have to pay for the codecs, though. But they should be high quality since many of the people that work at fluendo are the gstreamer developers. https://shop.fluendo.com/ -- Dan

Goldman Sachs SEC case: Is it all about politics?
The Goldman Sachs SEC case, filed Friday, comes as President Obama makes a push for Wall Street reform in Congress.
Charles Dharapak/AP
Republican lawmakers on Tuesday raised concerns that the lawsuit in the Goldman Sachs SEC case, filed on Friday, may be more about politics than securities law.
Whether or not that assertion is true, what's undeniable is that regulators have alleged fraud at Goldman just as President Obama is making what he hopes will be a final push to win passage of Wall Street reforms by Congress.
What's more, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed the case only after a 3-to-2 partisan vote, with Republican commission members opposing the action.
"The events of the past five days have fueled legitimate suspicion on the part of the American people that the Commission has attempted to assist the White House, the Democratic Party, and Congressional Democrats by timing the suit to coincide with the Senate's consideration of financial regulatory legislation," Rep. Darrell Issa of California wrote in a letter Tuesday to SEC chairman Mary Schapiro.
Even as Republicans sought to raise doubts about the SEC, however, Goldman itself faced new pressure Tuesday. Britain's Financial Services Authority (FSA) said it has launched its own investigation into Goldman Sachs International, after Prime Minister Gordon Brown lamented Goldman's "moral bankruptcy" in a weekend interview.

Display – PROJECT o8: Clunie Reid
- 7 November 2014 — 27 March 2015 *on now
PROJECTS is a series of exhibitions within the Contemporary Art Society space at 59 Central Street that transform and use the architecture of the building, drawing into focus questions around modes of display and the encounter between contemporary art and architecture. PROJECTS is open Tuesday – Friday, 11.00 – 17.00.
For Project 08 Clunie Reid presents a new video and a photo-work designed to be integrated into the fabric of the Contemporary Art Society headquarters. Both works continue her exploration of digital image montage within video editing software. In this new work The Given that keeps on Givin', Reid splices staged image references to Marcel Duchamp's Étant Donnés, (1946-1966) and The Large Glass (1915-1923) with other digital image materials in bursts of text and image.
The show also features twenty-four photo-works which have been mounted on perspex and individually reworked with silver ink. Each photograph has been extracted from the video and acts as an extension of the original work.

Boys Basketball: Z-M overcomes poor shooting in win against Pine Island
It's been a different player nearly every game stepping up for the Zumbrota-Mazeppa boys basketball team and Friday night it was two players who helped lead the Cougars to a 53-42 win over Pine Island in Zumbrota.
Nathaniel Rauen and Lucas Ziemba each had 11 points for Z-M, which overcame a 23 percent shooting night.
The Cougars made up for the lack of success from the field by making 75 percent of their free throws. Z-M went 27 of 36 from the line to win.

An ordinary life?
When the mundane and routine press upon you, there's a way to find light.
This summer the exhibits of two artists – Edward Hopper at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and Camille Pissaro at the Milwaukee Art Museum – held a message that spoke to my heart.
The audio commentary giving background on the Pissaro exhibit described his work as depicting "the eloquence of the ordinary." The commentary on Hopper's paintings said his work was "illuminating the quiet drama of ordinary moments."
Hearing these comments only a few weeks apart in two different exhibitions caught my attention. The expression, "another day, another dollar," can characterize the attitude many people have toward their lives, no matter how mundane or high-powered their work may be.
From changing diapers to boarding one more airline flight, daily activities can be so repetitious that it's hard to feel inspired by them – to see the "eloquence of the ordinary." How do we stop this from happening? Enriching activities on the weekends and vacations can help. But is there a way to illuminate our own ordinary moments?
Two elements that transform the ordinary in art are light and color. There's also a divine light that can illumine our ordinary moments. I love a statement in a poem by Mary Baker Eddy that describes God as "Life divine, that owns each waiting hour" ("Poems," p. 4).
Knowing that divine Life "owns" each hour ahead of us can have a lot to do with the way we live each moment. Letting this divine influence hold our moments reveals beauty and love in the ordinary. It can bring a spark to the day, even to routine activities. It can transform the ordinary in an immediate and lasting way.
But getting caught up in the "everydayness" of things hides this light, as C.S. Lewis brings out in "The Screwtape Letters." The book presents a perspective on evil through the correspondence of a personified devil figure with his novice demon nephew. In the devil's instruction on how to corrupt a particular individual, he counseled his nephew, "Keep pressing home on him the ordinariness of things" – a bus passing by, the need for lunch – in order to keep him from thinking too deeply about reality.

I am pleased to announce that The Kestrel (GS-50) is available in HDPE along with a bandset of your choice and the all new Versa-Fork attachment method. Even better is that The Kestrel has a little brother The Merlin (GS-51). All the great features of The Kestrel in a smaller frame (2.75" at the pinch). The Kestrel, Merlin and other HDPE slingshots can be purchased here.
"How do you hold that thing?"
This is a common question when people see the Kestrel design. The truth is you hold it like any other "finger supported" style slingshot, it just so happens that there is no handle. Without a handle, you are free to position and shoot with total freedom.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Beginning in 2014, all of the slingshots I sell with either be made from HDPE, 3/4" high quality plywood or from a lamination of wood (your choice) and high quality plywood (or aluminum*). The reason is simple, I strive to provide the best quality and longest lasting slingshots I can, this does not mean that there is anything wrong with solid wood slingshots I have sold in the past. If a solid wood slingshot is well taken care of, especially avoiding fork hits, it will last and last. However, since I am not in control of fork hits, I felt the need to protect you and me, and including an engineered board such as a high quality plywood is the perfect balance, and laminating with other woods still gives the option to customize your slingshot and "make it yours". Thank you, Dan.
*Only the GS-50, GS-51, and GS-12 models can be made with a solid aluminum core. All other designs can be made with aluminum core in the forks area (where it is important) and the handle will be filled with a wood of your choice.
Sometimes nature takes care of things for us, offering a slingshot that has the perfect shape and symmetry. In these rare cases I think it is better to just leave them the way they are. Perfect Fork naturals have minimal work done on them, I only sand the fork tips, heel and where little knots or branches were removed.
Welcome to the website of Daniel Little Traditional Archery and Gopher Slingshots.
This website combines two of my passions...traditional archery and slingshots. I began making and selling traditional archery equipment a few years ago online and at traditional archery events. Soon the slingshot bug got me and I began to develop my own designs. For the last year or so I have refined my designs and started to sell them. The response has been great.
If you've bought a slingshot from me and are happy with it or just like the way they look, I would love for you to help spread the word by "liking me" on Facebook or visiting me on Google+.
If you come from the slingshot world feel free to ask me questions about archery and bow building, and vice versa, they are both too much fun to not participate in both!
My contact information is on the Purchasing page. Thank you for stopping by to take a look,
Sincerely, Dan Little
Thanks for taking a look, here are some things i've made.
GS-20 made from multiplex. GS-31 "Mighty Mite" from Spalted Tamarind, Padauk and Cocobolo. |

Interesting "Painting with Light" but I would like to introduce you to a totally different form of "Painting with Light" photography as is described in Wikipedia.com as I think it should be of interest to your readers.
Discovered by John N. Cohen amazing pictures without a computer, darkroom, or any expensive equipment.
"John won many top international awards and had over 20 one-man exhibitions in USA and in Europe."

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains
- Summary

- Videos
- Events
Perhaps taking a page from "Heroes," the producers of "Survivor" are lining up the good guys to battle the evil ones this season. The season opens tonight with a two hour episode, and at this point our main question is - who will reveal themselves as the big bad of the season? Is there going to be one bad guy who is just that much more evil than the others, or, perhaps, will one of the heroes stray from the path of all that is good and holy and reveal their true colors (making them that much more evil)?

Petco Park, San Diego, California
SAN DIEGO -- Jason Marquis almost was forced out of the game in the sixth inning again -- albeit for a much different reason.
This time, he stayed on the mound and led Washington to the victory.Marquis threw six strong innings to help the Nationals beat the San Diego Padres 2-1 on Friday night.Michael Morse hit a two-run homer in the second inning and Marquis was cruising before the Padres rallied in the sixth. Ryan Ludwick walked with the bases loaded to force in a run, but Marquis responded by striking out highly touted rookie Anthony Rizzo on a nasty full-count changeup and getting Jorge Cantu to bounce out to end the inning."We call those man pitches," Nationals closer Drew Storen said. "You've got to man up there, and he did. He made that man pitch, and it was fun to watch."Rizzo made his major league debut Thursday night after being promoted from Triple-A Tucson. But it's doubtful that the 21-year-old Rizzo saw many pitches in the minors like the ones he saw in the sixth."I feel confident in all my pitches right now," Marquis said. "I've been working hard to be able to throw them in any count. I wasn't giving in, in that situation. I didn't want to leave one out over the plate with the power he's shown in Triple-A and the pitch he hit off Livan."Rizzo hammered a tripled off the center-field fence against Livan Hernandez in his debut, missing a homer by a few feet. But Marquis got the rookie this time."He threw a great pitch there, a great changeup," Rizzo said. "My heart was racing a little bit. I tried to slow it down. It was a good at-bat, but it was a pitcher's pitch that I couldn't do anything with."Marquis (7-2) picked up right where he left off last Sunday at Arizona when he shut out the Diamondbacks through 5 1/3 innings before he was ejected for hitting Justin Upton with a pitch.He was suspended for five games and fined an undisclosed amount. But he appealed and is able to pitch until there is a decision.Marquis held the Padres without a hit until Ludwick's leadoff double in the fifth. The right-hander allowed one run and three hits, struck out five and walked three.Morse staked Marquis to a lead with a drive off Mat Latos (4-7) for his 10th homer. Lance Nix led off with single, then Morse hit a 1-2 fastball into the left-field seats.Morse has homered eight times in his last 18 games.Tyler Clippard pitched two hitless innings and Storen worked the ninth for his 13th save in 14 chances to complete the four-hitter.Washington had four hits, two coming after Morse's homer.The Padres loaded the bases in the sixth on Chris Denorfia's one-out double, a single by Jason Bartlett and a walk to Brad Hawpe. Ludwick drew a full-count walk to bring home San Diego's only run."He got really tested in the sixth inning, that was tough," Nationals manager Jim Riggleman said of Marquis. "Baserunners all over the place, a lot of pitches, a very stressful inning. But to come out of it with one run, that's good veteran pitching right there."Rizzo walked twice and was hit by a pitch, finishing 0 for 1 with a strikeout. The first baseman committed an error in the ninth inning on a ground ball.Latos, who won his previous three starts, gave up two runs and four hits in six innings.San Diego, which had won nine of 13 games, dropped to an NL-worst 14-24 at home. The Nationals won for just the third time in eight games.Game notes
Washington RHP Stephen Strasburg, last year's rookie sensation, threw a bullpen session. Strasburg, a San Diego native who attended San Diego State, is on the mend from right elbow surgery in September. "Where he's at is nine months into a 12-to-18 month (rehab) process," Riggleman said. ... San Diego signed first-round draft pick Cory Spangenberg. The 20-year-old Spangenberg was the 10th overall pick and became the first first-rounder to sign. ... The Nationals placed RHP Cole Kimball (shoulder inflammation) on the 15-day disabled list. RHP Ryan Mattheus was brought up from Triple-A Syracuse.

Apple just recently launched their iTunes Match service for users in the United States. Subscribing to the service is just about as easy as making an App Store or iTunes music purchase. Once you're all set up you'll be able to access your iTunes library via iCloud from devices such as your AppleTV without physically having a computer to stream from.
Apple has released iTunes 10.5.1 and along with it, their paid music locker service in the U.S., iTunes Match. Coming after several extended betas, and past the previously announced October time frame, iTunes Match costs 24.99 a year and allows users to scan their iTunes libraries and either gain access to matching, 256kbps tracks from the iTunes Catalog, or upload their own, off-catalog tracks for access from any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iTunes client on Mac or Windows.
iOS 5.0.1 is here but battery fixes remain unclear, plus geniuses going iPad, iTunes Match gets yet another beta, Facebook opting in, Adobe kills Flash TV, Nook Tablet, and Georgia, Seth, and Rene talk the week in apps. This is iPad Live!
Make of this what you will, either the impending public launch of iTunes Match or just another step along the beta test path, but Apple has informed developers they'll be deleting all current iTunes Match libraries today.
Following up on the beta release of iOS 5.0.1 for developers, Apple has also released iTunes 10.5.2 beta, replacing the now timed-out iTunes 10.5.1 beta and allowing for continued testing of iTunes Match.
The Loop's Jim Dalrymple also noticed iTunes Match is now up and running on Apple TV.
Apple initially stated they would officially launch their iTunes Match service by the end of October. We previously heard they would be launching the service this past Saturday. Seeing as the developer beta expires today we are wondering whether or not we will see an official launch or developers will get another seed. As of this morning there was nothing new in the developer portal and nothing official has been announced or shown up as an update.
A TiPb reader informed us that he was able to stream a 50 min. long concert this morning via iTunes Match, but now he's being told to connect to Wi-Fi to play anything that long.
Apple has put "iTunes Match (Coming Soon)" placeholders up on iTunes in pretty much every country store we've checked, including the US, UK, and Canada, and the Music Settings in iOS 5 have just gotten an iTunes Match ON/OFF toggle, so... is iTunes Match about to go live? And if so, will it really go live everywhere?
While the general public gets their first taste of iTunes 10.5 today, Apple isn't wasting any time moving developers up to iTunes 10.5.1 beta. Like other recent betas, it includes iTunes Match functionality for further testing.

Last Tuesday, January 6, as I walked out of the hospital in New Mexico where my mother is staying due to a series of medical events — a planned hip replacement, followed by an unplanned stroke and then a very unplanned leg fracture — I saw two huge Christmas trees in the hospital lobby — the long-life kind, not living trees cut from the ground — shorn of their ornaments, which lay in bags on the floor.
At the wrong moment, or listening to the wrong music, the trees would have seemed forlorn, but to me they were expectant. For many reasons, good and not so good, this holiday season was very muted.
A year ago I remember remarking to an esteemed colleague in my doctoral program that I would stay on track with my doctoral work as long as I didn't have anything major like a job change or a family medical crisis, a statement intentionally hyperbolic. By this past November, as my mother was on the cusp of her own medical journey, I had accepted a position, effective this morning, as Dean of the Library at Sonoma State University — an opportunity that came with very complex emotions about leaving Holy Names, but perhaps because of those feelings was absolutely the right opportunity at the right time.
I had been on a wonderful odyssey at Holy Names, one in which I felt that our initiatives and efforts, large and small, were deeply appreciated, and where I had the unique chance to build a library and a team from near-scratch while I learned the runic ways of higher education. I remarked to a dear friend last summer that I didn't feel "done," and he paused thoughtfully and commented that no one is every really done. That wasn't the only epiphany, but it factored into many other conclusions I had about how much more I could do where I was at this point in time, as well as what I wanted to accomplish in the last decade-and-plus of my career as a full-time library leader, and also our strong desire to remain in our beloved NorCal.
By December I was also immersed in my mother's medical crisis. My sister and I have become entwined with one another in ways that are surprising and salutary, speaking, texting, and emailing daily, pacing our way around our mother's situation. To add to it all, Sandy and I were also tangled in a massive head cold that for her developed into bronchitis and for me colored all the rituals and gestures of my departure from Holy Names, and our farewell to San Francisco as residents of five years, with a thin grey coating of exhaustion.
Thanksgiving was about apartment-hunting, wrapping things up at Holy Names, beating back the cold from hell, and packing. Christmas was something other people were doing. Sandy and I gave away tickets for events (not wanting to be those people coughing nonstop in a theater), had a nice meal and cocktail here and there, slept a lot, and called it a season. My sister and I tag-teamed calls, emails, and travel to and from New Mexico. Sandy and I coughed and packed and coughed some more. My final commute from Holy Names was during a wind storm so powerful that the radio kept reporting traffic jams caused by trees falling on cars; I gripped the wheel of Misty, my Prius, and we soldiered on to Santa Rosa. By New Year's we were in our new home, coughing a little less. This past Sunday I set down my Ikea allen wrench to go visit my mother again, leaving Sandy amidst the boxes in a house without Internet or television.
At some point I decided to stop flogging myself for not having the mental bandwidth to work on the data analysis for my qualifying paper. I had a perfect timeline, and then life happened. It wasn't just chronological time that was scarce; it was the intellectual space to wrap my head around anything other than the next crisis-laden phone call or the next moving-related problem.
A lengthy delay in Internet access to our new home compounded issues; I spent a couple of weeks highly underconnected, which refreshed my empathy for students who lack reliable Internet and high-end equipment. Out of desperation, because my home computer was a 17″ laptop with a dying screen (which was adequate when the laptop just sat there on my desk at home, less so when I contemplated dragging its fragile self to coffeeshops), the afternoon before my next trip to New Mexico I bought a laptop at CostCo which turned out to have a corrupt wireless driver that three CostCo support concierges helped me reinstall as I crossed the country. I could feel my ribcage loosen when I finally got fully online. I am still in awe of how expertly these support techs managed my case from airport lobbies and hotel rooms.
One morning, juggling too many things, I realized I was afraid I'd never get back on the doctoral homework horse again. As soon as I thought that, a business card with esteemed colleague's name on it fell out of a drawer, and a minute later I received a chipper email from him, thanking me for suggesting the qualitative analysis product he was productively using for coding interviews, and asking how I was doing. This is the sort of colleague who also juggles too many things and then sits in a chair, scoots up to his desk, and stolidly soldiers through homework, reminding us all that It Can Be Done.
So: Santa is real, and he didn't skip our house this year, after all.
Two providers, four modems, and nearly three hours of telephone holds later, we have Internet and (because we are old-fashioned boomers) television. We have found stores and restaurants and a lovely walking/bicycling path just blocks from our home; our neighbors have been neighborly, the area food-friendly and beautiful. The coughing is almost gone. The medical crisis proceeds as these do. Sandy has found Meetup groups to do interesting walks around our new city. Samson, bribed with copious quantities of bonita flakes and other cat treats, has adjusted. The mountain of boxes has dwindled, and we have found electric toothbrushes and tailor's chalk and many other things we were looking for.
In less than an hour I drive to my new job. My next-to-last doctoral class will begin in March. The liturgical calendar will tick through the Feast of the Ascension, then Easter, and before I know it, I'll drag Piney III from the garage (we have a garage..!) and we'll bedeck him and hang stockings. And yesterday, early in the morning, I refocused on the data analysis for my qualifying paper, making excellent progress; in future Sundays I'll resume worshipping at Church of the Tam–barring any other crises, which in most cases, as I was reminded this Christmas season, are not mine to bar.

It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated. On This PageSummary Microsoft Outlook 2000 supports vCard and vCalendar, a
powerful new approach to electronic, Personal Data Interchange (PDI). PDI
occurs every time individuals communicate, in either a business or personal
context. These interchanges frequently include the exchange of information,
such as business cards, telephone numbers, addresses, dates and times of
appointments, and such. The vCard and vCalendar features facilitate PDI
electronically. This article discusses the implementation of vCalendar in Outlook. For information on vCard, please see the "References" section of this article. This article discusses:
More information vCalendar files are used to exchange information about
appointments and schedules with others who are not in your workgroup or
organization. You can also use them to schedule appointments with those who use
scheduling software incompatible with yours. How To Create a vCalendar FileTo create a vCalendar file, follow these steps:
How To Distribute a vCalendar FileYou can distribute a vCard file like other computer files. To send it as an e-mail attachment, follow these steps:
How To Automatically Process a vCalendar FileWith Outlook, you can automatically convert a vCalendar file received from an external source into an Outlook appointment entry. If the vCalendar file arrives as an e-mail attachment, you can double-click the vCalendar, then click Save And Close to add the appointment to your default Calendar folder.If you receive the vCalendar in the form of a file, perhaps on a disk, you can import it into your default Calendar folder by using the Outlook Import and Export Wizard. To do this:
How To Manually Process a vCalendar File as a Text FileA vCalendar record is just a text file. If you do not have an automated facility to process vCalendar records, you can open them with a text editor and use the information. The content of a vCalendar file varies with the information inserted by the file creator, but a typical file created from an Outlook appointment looks like the following example in a text editor:BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook MIMEDIR//EN VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:19980114T210000Z DTEND:19980114T230000Z LOCATION:My office CATEGORIES:Business DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:This is a note associated with the meeting=0D=0A SUMMARY:Meeting to discuss salaries PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR For example, if you are in the Central Time zone, your time is 6 hours behind GMT. So, you would subtract 6 hours from the start and end times to derive the correct time range for the appointment. In the previous appointment example, the start time would be 210000-060000 or 150000 on the 24-hour clock. If you converted the time to A.M or P.M, the start time is 150000-120000 or 3:00 P.M.

With numerous tools out there for optimizing productivity, it is about time that a developer decided to design an app that is open-ended enough that it can be used for multiple purposes. The new software Cloud-Word is the kind of outlining application that is easy enough to be accessible to everyone, while still providing enough complexity to be a productivity Swiss Army Knife.
Want to take notes? Cloud-Word has your back. Do you need to brainstorm easily and on the fly? Once again, Cloud-Word has your back. And this isn't even beginning to touch on the audio recording and text playback options…
Without question, this currently free app should be an indispensable part of any active businessperson's arsenal. Be sure to give it a download before the developer wises up and decides to actually charge for it. It is only a matter of time before they see the error of their ways.

try him with philo stone, sorc boots, trinity and guinsoo. Rapes and is easy to farm. I get a frozen heart after all that if lots of physical damage on the other team. If mostly casters grab some magic resist. Trinity + guinsoo is amazing on kass. Sometimes you can run into mana problems but I personally am fine with how it goes.
i always get mercury's on a lot of heroes (including kass) since the snare reduction is too good and don't tell me "oh you have riftwalk" because if you are slowed and running for your life that 40% reduction is going to help you a lot more than that puny +ap
The Mad Bear
has anyone noticed a bug with his riftwalk since the patch? he sometimes kinda glides to his teleport location instead of just appearing there
it's caused by lag i'm pretty sure of it
The 2 things i dont like about him though are his passive and his mana drain. The amount gained is so small, and the atk speed is nearly worthless as well. Solution: switch the 2 Passive: Mana drain 3% of targets mana Active : Increase attack speed by 10/15/20/25/30%
I don't know I havent seen much effect from either late game, but that's probably because i build mostly on AP, and don't have mana problems past level 14 or so. Either way, i think hes one of the more solid champs out there
agreed, i love to play him, fits my play style really well, and he's been finding a spot on some teams for his disables. Usually i play the roll of initiator, so i usually stack HP and MP then AP. I hope to see his 'E' get buffed
they should probably do 5 casts (since 4 was too little 6 is too much in my opinion) E is fine as a skill still however i also initiate as kass, his passive really makes a difference
