CARSON, Calif. – Three LA Galaxy players are off to train with Swedish side Hammarby, but that doesn't mean that a certain player currently in Sweden whose rights LA own is on his way to StubHub Center.
The Galaxy obtained the rights to Hammarby midfielder Baggio Hušidić last month from the Colorado Rapids as part of a deal that sent Pablo Mastroeni to LA, in exchange for an international roster spot and a second round draft choice. A former member of the Chicago Fire, Hušidić has made nine appearances for Hammarby this season, but hasn't appeared in a match for the Swedish Superettan club since May.
Technical Director Jovan Kirovski touched on Hušidić's during my interview with him on Tuesday and noted that no move was imminent.
"Right now, the [three players] are going over to train, so no," said Kirovski when asked if Hušidić could be on his way to LA as part of the training stint. "We have the rights to him, and that could happen in the future, but this is just about these kids."
CARSON, Calif. – Three LA Galaxy youngsters began a European excursion on Monday.
Bryan Gaul, Charlie Rugg, and Kenney Walker began training with Swedish Superettan side Hammarby this week as they look to gain European experience. The trio has been used sparingly by LA this season and the opportunity to train in Europe provides them with a different type of experience for their young careers. Rugg and Walker have already begun their training and can be seen here training with the club on Tuesday alongside new signing and former New York Red Bulls forward Luke Rodgers.
I spoke to LA Galaxy club President Chris Klein on Sunday prior to the club's 2-0 victory over FC Dallas about the move. Klein currently sits on the board of directors at Hammarby and also played alongside former Galaxy center back and current Hammarby head coach Gregg Berhalter.
My conversation with Klein is below...
LA GALAXY INSIDER: (On your thoughts on the three players training with Hammarby…)
KLEIN: "I think from a general standpoint, we're always looking to do more with [Hammarby]. We feel that it's a good place for our players to develop. I think if you look at MLS and you look at where Hammarby is in Sweden, it becomes ripe for someone like Kenney Walker, Bryan Gaul, and Charlie Rugg to get valuable experience. The three of those players are in positions of need for Hammarby, but initially, [they're] going over to train. They're going over so Gregg can take a look. We're constantly looking to get a better idea of how the level over there compares to the level over here, so we can do more stuff with them in the end."
LAGI: (Is this a trial?)
KLEIN: "I wouldn't say that it is a trial. It's a trial for us more than it is specifically for those three players. Gregg knows them, he's seen film on them, but yeah, in the end, it's a good opportunity for these players to get a new experience for a couple of weeks and see how they do."
LAGI: (Would you explore the possibility of a loan…)
KLEIN: "That's the conversations that we're going to have at the end of two weeks - if there is a possibility possibly to loan one, two or all of those players there where they can get better minutes and move themselves along to further their development. From a Galaxy standpoint, we don't feel that just playing in MLS Reserve League games as they are right now, is enough to move our players along. Possibly next year if we have a USL team that is playing on a regular basis with a little extra pressure there, but this is a team that is fighting for promotion at Hammarby. There's pressure there, we feel the level is very high, we know the coach, and we can montior the progress of these players. From Hammarby's point of view, they need a little bit more quality in the team and [they're] constantly searching for that quality. They signed a forward that used to play in MLS to play at Hammarby [Rodgers], so they're looking to get a little more quality at a few different positions, which specifically Bryan, Kenney, and Charlie play."
Thoughts on Klein's comments?
Share them below.
CARSON, Calif. -- There was a new face at LA Galaxy training on Tuesday as former Chivas USA midfielder Laurent Courtois trained with the club.
Tuesday's session was primarily composed of reserve team players, but Courtois was present during the portion of training open for media availability. Signed by Chivas USA in August of 2011, Courtois appeared in 33 games while scoring three goals and one assist until he was released by the Rojiblancos last month. A left-footed player that can play in midfield and in defense, the Frenchman brings an extensive resume that includes stops at clubs in France, England, and Spain.
"He's a good guy, he's out of contract at Chivas, he's local, and he has the desire to continue to play," Associate head coach Dave Sarachan told LA Galaxy Insider on Tuesday. "We liked him as a player, he's a good person, and he wanted for us to have the opportunity to have a look at him. We thought 'why not? Good people. Good player.' He's going to train with us, but beyond that, we'll see."
One could speculate that with an MLS Reserve League match slated for Sunday evening against the Portland Timbers, if Courtois is successful this week, he may make an appearance with the club's reserve side.
The LA Galaxy match against the Colorado Rapids at Dicks Sporting Goods Park will take place at 4 p.m. PT and will be aired nationally on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes.
The match had originally been slated for Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Deportes at 6 p.m.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy are just four points out of the lead for the MLS Supporters' Shield.
Let that sink in just a little bit. Done? Okay.
For all of LA's struggles—poor results against San Jose, Chivas USA, and New York Red Bulls come to mind right off the bat—they are within striking distance of MLS leaders Real Salt Lake. The Galaxy continued their rise up the standings on Sunday with their victory with a comprehensive win over FC Dallas that sealed their second straight victory and their third in four games.
Following the victory, I asked different members of the Galaxy to reflect on the club's proximity to the top of the table.
Thoughts from Bruce Arena, Marcelo Sarvas, Hector Jimenez, and Robbie Rogers are below…
ARENA: "I try to tell you guys that you have to be a little bit patient. Hopefully we can position ourselves first of all to be in the playoffs and second of all, to challenge in the conference for the first spot. But there is a lot of soccer ahead, but we need to be patient and grow along the way. Hopefully we're doing this at the right time."
SARVAS: "That's our target. When you play for the Galaxy, you have to fight for first position. Our target has been first place and we're going to run for it."
JIMENEZ: "Hopefully. It's a long season and some of the teams are dying right now. Hopefully, we can creep up and get back to the top. We talked about this being a six point game and it was really important for us."
ROGERS: "It's crazy, isn't it? To think that some of the other games would have gone our way like San Jose or some of the other games, we could have been on top already. You learn your lessons and you grow as a team during the season. I think that builds character."
Think the Galaxy can reach the league summit?

After overcoming late fitness test, Robbie Keane takes MLS assist lead with stellar showing against FC Dallas
CARSON, Calif. – Another game and another impressive performance by LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane.
A threat seemingly each time that he touched the ball, Keane notched two assists and set up several more scoring chances as the Galaxy won their second straight on Sunday with a 2-0 victory over FC Dallas. The two assists give Keane eight on the year, which is a league-high. The performance sealed quite a week for Keane, who scored two goals and two assists in two matches last week
However, Keane nearly missed out on LA's clash with Dallas, but passed a late fitness test in order to start on Sunday.
"I had a swollen knee so I had to get fluid taken out yesterday in the hospital," said Keane. "It was kind of touch-and-go before the game, so I've come along way the last two days to get myself fit. Lucky enough I felt 80 percent."
Although his status was in doubt, Galaxy boss Bruce Arena admits that it would take quite a blow to keep his captain off the field.
"He took a blow in a game against Columbus on Thursday and he was a last minute decision whether he could play tonight and you can see that he's the last guy that's not going to play," said Arena.
He'd have to be in real bad shape not to play. So, his competitiveness, his hunger to play and to win is contagious."
As for the league assist lead, just what did Keane think when he found out?
"Thanks for telling me. I don't really sit and look at it to be honest with you," said Keane. "As long as we win the championship at the end, I don't care to be honest with you. It's always nice, I like setting up goals so it's always pleasant. I think the position where I play I like to score goals but I think certainly I also like to set up goals as well."
CARSON, Calif. -- Below are LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena's comments from the club's 2-0 victory over FC Dallas.
(Overall thoughts on result…)
ARENA: "Well, it's close, not quite there. Tonight was one of our better games on the year. I thought we played very well on both ends of the field. Passing was much improved from the previous couple games. Our movement of the ball was very good. I think we again created chances, finished a couple tonight, could have finished a few more. Rock solid on defending restarts against a team that's outstanding in the area of attacking restarts. So, I think tonight was a real good win for our team and this week was obviously a good week, so hopefully we can continue to get better. We are starting to now have close to our first group together, which has been close to impossible the whole year. So, I think we are beginning to see signs of becoming a better team."
(On the defensive performance…)
ARENA: "Omar, A.J., Sean, and Todd played very well tonight. Carlo was real solid, made some excellent punches on defending corners, did a good job there. The midfielder defended very well against a good team, they are a very good team not an easy team to play with. So, tonight was a more complete, coordinated effort by our team."
(On the play of Marcelo Sarvas…)
ARENA: "A great, great goal. You know we've gotten more out of Marcelo and [Juninho] over the last three games getting into the attack. [Marcelo and Juninho] played well tonight against an outstanding group in the middle of the field with Jacobson, and Michel, and Ferreira. They are good, and our guys held up well so it was a real good effort there."
(On Keane becoming the assist leader in MLS and whether he is pleased…)
ARENA: "I'd like to see him score some more goals. I'm pretty greedy. He can get some goals as well. He's a very good player. He can set up goals and he can score goals."
(On Robbie Rogers' showing…)
ARENA: "It takes a while, his fitness looked really good and his last 60 minutes were really good. A little unlucky [in front of goal]…He's in good position. His width at times is really good. And Hector [Jimenez], I thought that he had an outstanding performance as well."
(On the Galaxy being four points out of the Supporters' Shield…)
"I try to tell you guys that you have to be a little bit patient. A lot of games ahead. There's 15 important games left and two more at home than away. It's going to be important. Hopefully we can position ourselves, first of all, to be in the playoffs and second of all, to challenge in the conference for the first spot. But there is a lot of soccer ahead, but we need to be patient and grow along the way. Hopefully we're doing this at the right time."
(On Charlie Rugg, Kenney Walker, Bryan Gaul training in Sweden and whether it could turn into a loan…)
ARENA: "It's good experience for those players…Sure, that's a club that we know very well."
(On Robbie Keane's role with this team…)
ARENA: "Robbie is the leader of our team, he is our captain. He is arguably our best player. Robbie has a great head on his shoulders; he's a very competitive person. He took a blow in a game against Columbus on Thursday and he was a last minute decision whether he could play tonight and you can see that he's the last guy that's not going to play. He'd have to be in real bad shape not to play. So, his competitiveness, his hunger to play and to win is contagious. Besides, his quality, his leadership is critical. Tonight he showed the team that this game was important and he wanted to win and he was there."
The LA Galaxy defeated FC Dallas on Sunday with a 2-0 victory.
Marcelo Sarvas and Hector Jimenez scored for LA. The shutout was the Galaxy's ninth of the season.
With the victory, the Galaxy move into third place in the Western Conference. They are just four points behind MLS Supporters' Shield leader Real Salt Lake.
LA return to action on July 13 against the Portland Timbers at JELD-WEN Field in Portland.
CARSON, Calif. – We're just a few hours away from tonight's LA Galaxy match against FC Dallas.
My match look ahead is below…
The pregame game notes are here.
Bruce Arena offered his thoughts ahead of tonight's match on Saturday.
Robbie Keane's status is in question for Sunday after the Irish forward was not seen during the final 15 minutes of practice on Saturday. If he's unable to go, look for Jose Villarreal to earn the start.
Omar Gonzalez bobbleheads will be given out tonight to the first 10,000 fans at StubHub Center. Gonzalez will need to impress on Sunday if LA is to be successful as he matches up against FC Dallas forward Blas Perez.
Remember, if you bought tickets to the "Messi and Friends" exhibition, you'll be able to purchase tickets at a discounted rate for the Galaxy match tonight.
For a match preview, here's LAGalaxy.com Larry Morgan's view of the game.
Lastly, my Three Points to the game.
"They've got some big forwards. They're a team with a lot of height, so we have to limit their chances especially because we have two or three guys over 6 foot and they've about six. It's going to be a big part of this game. We have to limit their chances because they have quick guys who can whip balls in and big guys who can hold balls up front. It's going to be a good battle for it.
- LA Galaxy center back A.J. DeLaGarza
OMAR GONZALEZ vs. Blas Perez
A true battle of the titans. Expect a physical battle between the two hulking players, who are likely to battle in the final third on every foray forward. Gonzalez will need to keep the Panamanian in front of him at all times, if he is to prevent him from testing the Galaxy net.
MARCELO SARVAS vs. David Ferreira
Expect the Brazilian to pressure the Colombian playmaker early and often as he looks to prevent the 2010 MLS MVP from creating opportunities for Dallas in the attacking third. If Sarvas can put the clamps on Ferreira then FCD will lose a major weapon in the offense.
GYASI ZARDES vs. FC DALLAS DEFENSE
Zardes has piled up the scoring chances over the past four games and he's sure to get plenty against the shaky Keel. FCD conceded 18 attempts on goal to an inconsistent Chivas side earlier in the week, and are likely to allow plenty of room for the Galaxy to operate on Sunday. However, if Zardes gets past the Dallas back four, he'll still need to beat FCD's stellar goalkeeper Raul Fernandez.
Cudicini; Franklin, Gonzalez, DeLaGarza, Dunivant; Jimenez, Sarvas, Juninho, Rogers; Zardes, Keane
CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Keane makes the LA Galaxy offense go, but LA may be without the Irish forward for Sunday's clash against FC Dallas.
Keane was not present during the final 15 minutes of training on Saturday as the club wrapped up preparations for their match against FCD on Sunday. If Keane is unable to start his third match in nine days, then head coach Bruce Arena is likely to turn to either Jack McBean or Jose Villarreal to start alongside Gyasi Zardes.
Villarreal is the frontrunner as the forward drew a penalty in 29 minutes of action during LA's 2-1 victory over the Columbus Crew on Thursday. If he does step into Keane's boots on Sunday, the 19-year-old forward insists that he won't allow the pressure get to him.
"I wouldn't take [playing in place of Keane] as pressure," said Villarreal. "[I just have to] what I've been doing lately and what the coaches know that I can do. Just play well and provide as much for the team as I can."
As for what makes his pairing with Zardes different then when he partners up with Keane or Landon Donovan, Villarreal has a simple answer—pure youthful exuberance.
"It's just a bunch of energy," said Villarreal. "[You know that if] you're not running then the other guy is running for you. It's good to have that. That doesn't happen a lot. It's good to have people that you know and people that you grew up playing with."

SNOW HILL — Greene County commissioners may consolidate the county's human services departments into one agency.
With the passage of legislation at the close of the General Assembly's last session, county boards now are allowed to choose whether to consolidate health and human services agencies, including the health department and Department of Social Services.
At Greene County's Jan. 21 meeting, County Manager Richard Hicks brought up the idea of looking into consolidation, since Christy Nash, social services director, had announced her resignation effective Jan. 31 from the position.
Replacing her is acting director Angela Ellis, who declined to comment until she can speak with the agency's board.
Hicks provided a list to the commissioners of 23 counties that have already consolidated or are considering it. He told the board the UNC School of Government in Chapel Hill provides information on its website about House Bill 438, which amends G.S. 153-76, 77.
"If there is interest in the board in at least looking at it and trying to determine what your options are I'm sure there's going to some advantages and disadvantages if you stay the same or do something different," Hicks said. He suggested the board consider inviting representatives from the North Carolina School of Government to discuss what the county's options are.
In the meantime, one commissioner suggested not hiring a full-time DSS director until commissioners decide.
"That's something we need to do as soon as possible because DSS has got to advertise and I guess we will advertise for an interim director," said Commissioner Denny Garner. "I would certainly hate to advertise for a full-time director and then we decide we can consolidate and that person be out of a job."
At Monday night's meeting, the board approved holding a joiint meeting at 7 p.m. March 3 with the Greene County DSS board, the health department and Aimee Wall, the Thomas Willis Lambeth Distinguished chairwoman in public policy and associate professor of public law and government with the North Carolina School of Government. The location of the meeting will announced at a later date.
Hicks and some of the commissioners attended a meeting Wednesday with Wall to discuss the pros and cons of consolidation.
Greene County Health Department Director Michael Rhodes said Hicks asked him recently for a list of names and email addresses of people from the School of Government that have expertise in House Bill 438, and he knows little more about its complexities.
"Under the new law a board of county commissioners may assume the powers and duties of its local human services boards, create a consolidated human services agency, or take both actions — form a consolidated human services agency and serve directly as its board," the school of government website says.
There are a few options county boards have in consolidating, Rhodes said, but he hopes the commissioners will analyze the situation before making a decision.
"If (the commissioners) choose to (consolidate) then I hope they would choose a scenario that would still allow for local input, such as a representation from a health and human services board, that would represent the community, similar to the DSS and health boards combined," Rhodes said.
Both the local health department and social services have had difficulties retaining and hiring qualified employees. Rhodes and Nash frequently faced the county board requesting permission to hire and emphasizing that low salaries were the reason for employees leaving.
The county's financial woes caused the board to recently require one position, an accounting technician at the health department, to be changed to a part-time job.
"We weren't able to fill it," Rhodes said. "We didn't have one applicant that was qualified. So we requested it to be full-time on several occasions and, finally, we were allowed to advertise full-time and we got three people that were qualified."
Nash presented to the board recently saying she was losing employees with "the talent, the knowledge and the skills."
"What we're finding in our exit interviews is that most of the time they're leaving the agency because of salary," she told board members.
Nash also has discussed with the commissioners that the loss of employees has left a backlog of work for the remainder of the staff.
Greene County resident Dawn Minich said she didn't receive her December food stamps until at least Jan. 16, when she received her January food stamps — due Jan. 13. When she went to the county office several times during the latter half of December to inquire about the problem, it was either a furlough day or there were no supervisors working over the holiday period, Minich said.
"The person I needed to talk to wasn't there," she said, adding no one else present in the office could take care of her food stamp problem.
"My friends were helping me out," Minich said, "inviting me over for dinner or giving me food."

Presentation at IEEE 802.11 portends an inevitable future Wi-Fi that will utilize ultrawideband frequenciesMonday 30 July 2012 @ 6:01 am
In the world of wireless communications the term UWB is often mistaken for the WiMedia or ECMA wireless standard or the unsuccessful Wireless USB standard championed by Intel in 2005. UWB actually stands for ultrawideband. The FCC defines ultrawideband as any radio transmission that utilizes at least 500MHz of contiguous radio spectrum. WiMedia and Wireless USB are examples of UWB, but there are other examples of UWB including the PHYs supported in the recently published 802.15.6 Body Area Network standard (a pulse based UWB wave form) and the WiGig 60GHz standard.
At the recent IEEE meeting held in San Diego on July 17th, there was an evening session to discuss the possibility of utilizing the unlicensed ultrawideband frequencies from 6-9GHz as a future extension of Wi-Fi. These presentations were not proposing to adopt the earlier WiMedia efforts as an extension of Wi-Fi, rather they discussed the technical and marketing issues of extending the Wi-Fi frequency range to the 6-9GHz ultrawideband frequencies. Though 802.11ac is only just coming to market the 5GHz spectrum is expected to become quickly over crowded, much like 2.4GHz is overcrowded today. There are many reasons for this, including the fact that AC uses very wide channels that use a great deal of spectrum for speed, the fact that more and more tablets, smartphones and HDTVs will use AC for video thereby clogging the spectrum, and the possibility that Wi-Fi Direct will become popular thus using up even more spectrum. Based on all these market dynamics, and the fact that it takes many years to develop extensions of an international standard, the time is not far off when Wi-Fi will need more spectrum; that is where UWB frequencies come in. As a result of the FCC's original ruling making UWB frequencies are available in the USA and most major countries. The common frequency bands across these countries generally are from 6GHz to 9GHz and are authorized in countries such as the USA, Canada, UK, the EU, China, Korea, Japan, Russia and many others. The transmit power permitted in this frequency band is small compared to what is authorized today for Wi-Fi, yet by utilizing greater than 500MHz of spectrum the in-room data rates are similar to what 802.11ac can achieve. Moreover, an added benefit of using 500MHz of spectrum is that power efficiency can be improved, which is ideal for mobile in-room applications such as smartphone, gaming controller and tablet connectivity.
Alereon spoke at the IEEE meeting, presenting real measured data on our chips that operate in the 6 – 9GHz frequency bands achieving data rates on the desktop up to 1Gbps, from a couch to an HDTV of many 100s of Mbps, and across a room sufficiently to transmit compressed 1080P video at a higher throughput and lower latency than today's Wi-Fi video streaming links. The presentation went on to project that with some proposed enhancements in technology that are similar to new techniques found in 802.11ac, that data rates of 4 or 8Gbps could be achieved on the desktop or in close proximity for applications such as photo sharing, and many hundreds of Mbps could be transmitted very robustly in an average room. Other presentations essentially proposed the IEEE should consider forming a group to consider the development of an "AC+" extension for in room applications, such as Wi-Fi Direct or other personal area connectivity or wireless video applications. The proposal for an AC+ was not meant to detract from the already completed 802.11ad efforts that use ultrawideband frequencies up around 60GHz to extend Wi-Fi. Rather the proposal was made to increase the spectrum capacity of Wi-Fi for in-room applications while focusing infrastructure applications in the existing 5GHz range. Finally, it should be noted that not all countries derive the same benefit from extending 802.11ac to the new 5GHz frequencies as others. In particular China, the world's most populated country with the highest urban densities and the highest sales of smartphones also has 80% less available spectrum at 5GHz than most other countries. So this proposal to utilize ultrawideband spectrum should look particularly interesting to Chinese constituencies.
The IEEE works in mysterious ways often fraught with non-technical considerations based on the interests of large and influential companies. Like many good ideas, it is likely to take time for this idea to gestate. That said, to me it seems this idea has a certain element of inevitability to it. For companies like Alereon, which have familiarity with UWB frequencies and have built chips that can make highly useful wireless connections in these unlicensed frequency bands, we know how valuable this spectrum can be. For other companies however, there is a fear of the unknown. However the continued consumer demand for new applications with more video and more wireless connectivity, in the constant pursuit of a Life without Wires™, makes it inevitable that the IEEE will someday utilize UWB spectrum. There simply isn't any other unlicensed spectrum available.
Let me know your thoughts. Thanks for reading. — EB

Thyroid nodules are extremely common and studies have shown that about half of us have at least one!
Fortunately, most of these nodules do not pose any health risks. Not all thyroid nodules are benign, however, and in a minority of cases (about 5-15%) may contain a cancer. The challenge, of course, is figuring out which nodules are cause for concern and which ones are not.
With increased use of high-resolution imaging, more nodules are being identified today than ever before. It is also not uncommon for someone to learn they have a nodule "incidentally" after a CT scan, MRI or ultrasound that was performed for some other medical reason.
If you think you may have a thyroid nodule, or if one has been found incidentally by medical imaging, you should make an appointment to see your doctor. Your doctor will likely take several steps, including:

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), Vice Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, today released the following charts capturing the weakness of the current economic recovery under President Barack Obama.
The first compares the promises of the Obama stimulus - 5.4% - versus today's unemployment rate of 7.9%.
"By every measure, the President failed to meet his promise by a country mile, and millions of Americans are hurting as a result," said Brady, who points out that the more accurate comparison would put the unemployment rate at 10.6% - almost twice as large as the President promised.
"If the labor force participation rate had not declined since January 2009, the unemployment rate would be 10.6%, not 7.9% as reported today. Millions of Americans dropping out of the labor force is another confirmation of the failure of President Obama's economic policies."
Using President Obama's own metrics, no president has presided over a worse recovery in terms of private job creation during the last 70 years. "Since the end of World War II, our country has experienced ten economic recoveries lasting more than one year," Brady noted. "Of those ten recoveries, private sector job creation under President Obama comes in dead last."
Brady concluded, "Had the President's performance been merely average, 3.7 million more Americans would be back to work by now rather than looking for work and worrying how to make ends meet."

Argentina head coach Santiago Phelan has made one change for to his starting line-up for the clash against the Springboks in Mendoza on Saturday.
Phelan has decided to replace fullback Lucas Amorosino with Martin Rodriguez for the Pumas' first home Test of the Rugby Championship. Amorosino had a poor outing at Newlands, which included a knock-on that set the platform for South Africa's first try in their 27-6 victory.
This means No 8 Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe remains at No 8 and will captain the side, while Juan Martin Hernandez features at flyhalf.
Phelan will announce his bench at a later stage.
Argentina – 15 Lucas Amorosino, 14 Gonzalo Camacho, 13 Marcelo Bosch, 12 Santiago Fernández, 11 Horacio Agulla, 10 Juan Martín Hernández, 9 Nicolas Vergallo, 8 Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe (c), 7 Álvaro Galindo, 6 Julio Cabello, 5 Patricio Albacete, 4 Manuel Carizza, 3 Juan Figallo, 2 Eusebio Guiñazu, 1 Rodrigo Roncero.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To detect an active or recent mycoplasma (type of bacteria) infection
When to Get Tested?
When your doctor suspects that your respiratory or other symptoms are caused by a mycoplasma infection; when a genital infection may be caused by mycoplasma or ureaplasma (a particular type of mycoplasma)
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm, a throat swab, sputum sample, body fluid or tissue sample; occasionally, genital or urethral swab
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living microorganisms known. They may exist as part of the normal flora found in the throat, upper respiratory tract, and genitourinary tract. Mycoplasmas are unlike other types of bacteria in many ways and can be difficult to culture and identify. Mycoplasma testing is used to determine whether someone currently has or recently had a mycoplasma infection.
Mycoplasma testing includes a group of tests that either measure antibodies in the blood produced in response to a mycoplasma infection or detect the microorganism directly through culturing or by detecting its genetic material (DNA) in a body sample. It is most often used to detect Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae), the causative agent of respiratory infections often referred to as "atypical pneumonia."
M. pneumoniae is a common cause of upper respiratory infections, with an estimated 2 million cases in the U.S. each year. It is responsible for 15-20% of cases of community-acquired pneumonia, appearing as single cases and as periodic epidemics, especially in school-age children and in military populations or other settings where people live in close quarters. Infections can occur at any time of the year, but outbreaks are more prevalent in the late summer and early fall.
Most cases of M. pneumoniae infection are mild and self-limited, causing nonspecific symptoms such as bronchitis, a runny nose, and a nonproductive cough that may persist for several weeks. Symptoms may become more severe, causing fever, sore throat, headaches, and muscle aches, when the infection spreads to the lower respiratory tract and causes "walking pneumonia," or, more rarely, spreads to other parts of the body. This is especially true in very young infants, in those who have underlying health conditions, such as asthma, or who have compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS. Depending upon what parts of the body become infected, complications may range from meningitis to difficulty breathing, cardiac inflammation and arrhythmia, skin rashes, lesions or nodules, arthritis, anemia, or to Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Testing may occasionally be done to detect other species of mycoplasma. Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Ureaplasma urealyticum infections are less common than those seen with M. pneumoniae. In adults, these organisms are primarily sexually transmitted, causing nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) and some inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis) in men and sometimes associated with vaginal discharge and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women. M. hominis and U. urealyticum can be passed from mother to baby during birth when the baby passes through an infected birth canal. They typically colonize infants for their first couple of years. Rarely, they can cause systemic infections in infants and in those with compromised immune systems.
How is the sample collected for testing?
The sample required depends on the method being used and on the health status of the person being tested:
- Antibody testing requires a blood sample, obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
- Direct detection of mycoplasma may be done on a variety of samples. For a respiratory infection, samples may include sputum, a washing of the bronchi in the lungs, or throat swab. If a systemic infection is being diagnosed, blood, joint fluid, body fluids, or tissues samples may be cultured. Some samples may require a special procedure to collect them. To detect a genital infection, a swab of the cervix or urethra may be collected.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

I have never used a storage unit before but plenty of my friends and family have. Uncle Bob's went way beyond the call of duty and contacted me several times when my property was not parked in it's spot or the door wasn't closed properly to my unit, etc.. They were absolutely great and if I EVER need storage again for anything (or any of my friends do) I will be sure to send them to Uncle Bob's. Also, just a note on the staff, they were awesome and so wonderful to deal with!! Thanks so much for all you do.Pamela from Chattanooga, TN

sometimes, when you use Microsoft Access to update tables, you get unexpected "access denied for user: '@YOUR_IP_ADDRESS'" errors, which is to be solved in the following way:
Microsoft Access 2000/2002 Jet/ODBC database engine uses default anonymous logins by default, and you should tweak the following registry key so that the ODBC DSN's options were used, instead:

I have a small network in my home. My RH8.something server has DHCP and DNS for my small domain (.home.tesmer.org). I do not have DNS names for the hosts on DHCP.
When trying to run MySQLCC in WinXP on a DHCP'd host, I continually got "[gummy] ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query" (gummy is the dns name of the host running the MySQL instance).
I added skip-name-resolve under [mysqld] in my.cnf and restarted the mysqld using the init script, and viola, it worked.

when you are simply trying to:
C:\mysql\bin>mysql -uroot -p mysql
and you get:
ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@127.0.0.1' to database 'mysql'
Here is what I do. The key is to supply your real ip address for the -h (host) parameter. On windows, from the command prompt type 'ipconfig' to see your ip address. Once you have that, do the following:
C:\mysql\bin>mysql -h 192.168.0.1 -u root -p mysql
Enter password: ****************
// then I explicitly add email@example.com to the user table, so after this I can log in as you would expect
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'root-password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO firstname.lastname@example.com IDENTIFIED BY 'root-password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
// delete anon accounts
DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE password='';
It works for me
One other way is when you set the initial password for the root user, also set it on 127.0.0.1:
SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('new_password');
SET PASSWORD FOR firstname.lastname@example.com=PASSWORD('root-password');

Since Java only allows you to connect over tcp, you have
no other alternative. If you experience similar problems
from Java, please test to do the following:
telnet localhost 3306
If you are connected and immediately after that disconnected
before the mysqld answers, it might be the missing entry in
hosts.allow .
You can also see if your tcp connection works by forcing
the mysql client to connect over tcp/3306:
mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 -p
The error given if you have a network problem, is:
ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
If you run into this, using debian, then my advice is
to add a line accordingly to /etc/hosts.allow
The reason for this happening on debian, is that
the apt-get package for mysql-server is compiled
with tcp-wrapper support. This is not mentioned
in the file README.debian, so it may come as a surprise
to you. It did to me, to say the least.

I was setting up MySQL from the instructions from the O'Reilly PHP and MySQL book and encountered "ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'username@localhost' (Using password: YES)". Well the instruction said to add the 'username' with the SQL statement as:
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, LOCK TABLES ON winestores.* TO email@example.com IDENTIFIED by 'password';
After doing this as root, I quit and tried to log back in with the new user. I got the ERROR 1045.
I fixed it by logging back in as root and reissuing the SQL statement again except with 'username@localhost'. It worked!
I don't know why? Maybe it is the difference between IPs of '127.0.0.1' and 'localhost'???
Hope this helps!

I edited the "TryJet..." registry setting which did help, and I also found that the problem for me had to do with the ODBC driver not retaining the port# (which happened to not be 3306, the default) once the ODBC connection settings dialog was closed. I went to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ODBC\MyConnectionName" and added a string value for PORT with the new port number value. This has worked ever since.

Moving from a windows testbed, 4.0.18 to Redhat Enterprise with
MySQL 4.1.9, I repeatedly failed to connect, getting not allowed errors,
when connecting from Tomcat 5.0.28
This was resolved when I swapped the order in /etc/hosts
for the localhost.
Now reads
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain

I narrowed this down to the 'wait_timeout' setting. Interestingly, if I do a 'show variables' , the wait_timeout does always show up as 28800 seconds, even if it is setup differently using 'set global' or the respective setting in my.cnf.
Little test script to see if this is the issue:
use DBI;
$dbh=DBI->connect("DBI:mysql...(insert your paramters)");
$sth=$dbh->prepare("select now()");
print "$start $now\n";
sleep 70;
print "$start $now\n";
just keep changing the number of seconds in the 'sleep' line, and see at what point the error comes up.

By the way ..... although many /or all of the above comments are valid ...
It is also important to note that the host_name (used in GRANT PRIVILEGES) does NOT USE THE CIDR (/24, /29 etc...) notation for specifying subnets !!! - therefore you must use the full 255.255.255.x subnet notation for specifying host ip addresses !!!
Took me a alot of time and digging to figure this one out ! and this was all it was to get remote connections working - even after making sure all the other points mentioned above were correct and in-place !

If you have Problems connecting to an MySQL Server running on a different port (or socket), this may be helpful:
I ran into Problems connecting to a MySQL5 server i have setup on port 3307 in addition to a MySQL4 Server running on 3306.
kimiko:~ # mysql -P3307 -ptest
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
This is not possible, as the client always uses a socket to connect to "localhost" (which is the default host). For a sucessful connection either the combination of localhost + socket or 127.0.0.1 + port must be specified.
kimiko:~ # mysql -h127.0.0.1 -P3307 -ptest
kimiko:~ # mysql -S/path/to/mysql.sock -ptest

If you are having trouble trying to connect to a remote server, then make sure your reverse lookup of the IP address matches the hostname on the machine you are connecting from.
If your hostname on the local machine is my.domain.com and has ip of 22.214.171.124, then check the reverse lookup on the remote server of 188.8.131.52. If the name doesn't match my.domain.com, then add a host table entry to resolve the ip to my.domain.com.
The hint that this is a problem, is if you try to connect from my.domain.com, and the access denied message returns a different host name.
Don't be tempted to change host names you're using on the grant statements to match the value the reverse lookup returns on the remote server. It won't work since the forward lookup name is being provided to the remote server.

If you're experiencing the error:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'some_user'@'ip_addr_of_remote_client' (using password: YES)
when you're trying to connect to mysql via a remote client, this thread is helpful:
Even after you "grant" privileges for specific IP addrs, mysql may still lock you out. The solution this guy found - and also worked for me - is to reset the password for your new user/ip entries with the following command:
mysql>SET PASSWORD FOR some_user@ip_addr_of_remote_client=PASSWORD('some_password');
I performed this when logged into mysql as root. It reset the hash for the password and all my remote connections started "magically" working.

I recently upgraded my OS from FreeBSD 5.5 to FreeBSD 7.0, and upgraded MySQL from 5.0.12 to 5.0.51a. I have a batch job in /etc/crontab that runs mysqlcheck each night to verify the database. The mysqlcheck program uses a userid and password provided through a .my.cnf file under the user account that runs the job. After the upgrade, I started getting the following error message:
/usr/local/bin/mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) when trying to connect
The problem was complicated by the fact that mysqlcheck runs just fine at the command prompt, but as a cronjob running under the same user it failed with the error message above.
After digging around, I found a new option that must be specified on the command line to get mysqlcheck to use the .my.cnf file - the option is "--defaults-file=/root/.my.cnf". Without this, the .my.cnf file will not be read by mysqlcheck.
If you are looking for a handy line to drop in /etc/crontab to check your database for consistency every night on FreeBSD, try the following:
30 4 * * * root /usr/local/bin/mysqlcheck --defaults-file=/root/.my.cnf --all-databases --auto-repair 2>&1 | grep -v "OK" | mail -E -s "Database Problem" root
This cronjob will only notify you when there is a problem, which keeps the email "signal to noise ratio" down when you are running several servers.

nmap is also a useful tool when you can't connect to a remote host via MySQL.
bash> nmap -P0 your_host
Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2013-11-21 15:59 EST
Interesting ports on your_host (your_host):
Not shown: 1679 filtered ports
22/tcp open ssh
Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 29.926 seconds
This showed me that only port 22 was open and that was why I could not connect.

Work shown in progress...
Sorry for the laziness in this sketchbook, i am not really in the habit of drawing(i know i know), so i have very little to show out of NDA work... but thanks to the calendar finally coming to light, i can now show the steps in making this piece.
i started out by doing little thumbnails, in this case i was trying to achieve a feeling of "flower blossoming" in the composition, and i also work out the value scale(which is not scaned in, so not shown here):
well. and then i scan it in and start coloring with the "simple water" brush in painter 9.5. i like the color variation it gives me:
I thought the linework was a little too weak for the foreground characters to stand out, so i did a inking on tracing paper of only the characters and scan it in and put on top:
i played with the adjustment layers in photoshop at last and put in the finish touches:
and that's all folks! hope u like this as a piece for the CA calendar!

These four took me a weekend to do; which u can see basically has all the ingredients of the finish piece. i focused on lighting and tone to create a more solemn mood.
More twigs, minor adjustments and details; and the result:

Keedysville, located eight miles south of Hagerstown on Little Antietam Creek, is a great place to visit. The creek and an early road crossing had attracted settlers to the area in the early 1700s. Jacob Hess built a large grist mill and his home in this farming area in 1768. The community and those around it grew to know the town as Mill Property until 1825 when the Boonsboro-Sharpsburg road was built. Eventually the town was named Centreville, because the Mill Property sat at the halfway point. When storekeeper, Samuel Keedy, a descendent of one of the town's earliest settler families, lobbied hard for a post office, the small village received it in 1848. From that time forward, the town changed names once again--this time to Keedysville.
Like many towns during the Civil War, the town's buildings and residences were used as hospitals for soldiers engaged in the battle of Antietam. By the 1870s, Keedysville had a railroad running through it, an elementary school, three churches (one of which was the first United Brethren Church ever to be built in the United States), several stores, a hotel, the mill, and the post office.
By the end of the 20th century, Keedysville had developed into a charming and picturesque community with little industry or commerce. Victorian was the dominant architectural style in this quaint town, with older and newer homes mixed in. When tourists now encounter Keedysville, they are delighted by its historic homes and old-world appearance. A monument memorializing Keedysville's citizens who served in World War II lay in the town's park close to another monument that honors World War I veterans.
The railroad now is defunct, and only one store remains. The three churches are still active, and the Ruritan chapter (the first established in Maryland) provides community-based civic activities. A day-care and senior-citizens center is housed in the former elementary school, and there is a branch of the county library in town. Even though Keedysville is small with open spaces, residents find the area a pleasant environment in which to live and raise a family.

Ferrite cores - to use, or not to use?
by Park_Bio - 11/18/12 6:18 PM
My new Samsung plasma television (PN43E450) came with three ferrite cores (Todaisu HT2629S), a.k.a. ferrite "rings" or "collars". Instructions say I should install one on each end of power cord, providing a maximum distance from the plug (at each end) for core installed. But it doesn't say why I should install them, or if they sometimes might not be needed at all.
A third ferrite core is provided for the antenna cable. Well, I don't have an "antenna," my t.v. signal arrives via AT&T's Uverse (a telephone line?). Should I treat that the same as an antenna? If the cores are always needed, why does Samsung leave it up to the consumers to install them, or not, and leave placement up to us as well? The arrangement seems to imply they are either optional or sometimes unnecessary.
I searched CNET forums and found several old posts but, in each case, found no real help. Maybe I misread the tone, but in one case, a reply (by R. Proffitt) seems to come from a someone who knew the answer but felt a snarky response was all that "patshak" was due. Again, sorry if I misread the tone, but if all you intend to say is "figure it out yourself" (exact words were: "Think about or research what this part does."), then why reply at all?
A follow-up by "patshak" politely ignores the attitude, and points out that using two or more of these sometimes bulky ferrite cores, let's say on adjacent lines at a power strip or outlet, can cause crowding. Okay... but this only distracts from the original query... "how does a consumer know if ferrite cores are needed?" Are there situations when using them may do more harm than good (as Proffitt implies in another answer).
Perhaps ferrite cores are analogous to vitamin pills... "vitamins" are good (just like suppressing RFI)... but it they are not "one size fits all." Some of us get too much calcium, or iron, for example. I'll bet using ferrite cores, like taking vitamins, can have unintended consequences. If not, why aren't ferrite rings standard on every television power cord?
Still, I cannot find any guidance for consumers on how to determine whether or not to use one or more ferrite cores. Samsung only tells consumers where, not if, the provided cores should be installed, I found no guidance on what the do or how to know if they are optional or always helpful, or only used to address a problem after it has been detected.
Does Samsung provide these ferrite cores as an afterthought, maybe instead of providing a better quality (shielded) power cord? In one CNET forum thread (on ferrite cores), Proffitt writes that ferrite cores protect your "signal" from the effects of a power cord spewing radio frequency interference, but doesn't say how to determine if that is actually happening, or whether ferrite cores will help or hurt in any particular situation. Another of Proffitt's replies (to "patshak") seemed to suggest using ferrite cores on an antenna cable could harm your signal quality.
If I use the three ferrite cores supplied by Samsung with my plasma television (to suppress RFI?), could they also improve or degrade the quality or quantity of power, or the signal quality delivered by any input line to my television?
As an "electronics technician," I make a pretty good biologist (I am out of my field here). I suspect I am not the only one who would appreciate it if some helpful techie would explain the what, why, when and when not, and why not of using ferrite cores. Simply providing a link to a site that explains this would be fine. Won't someone who aced electrical engineering 101 give us non-techies a little guidance?

There is a Quest Outdoors in St. Matthews. They have a lot of climbing and hiking gear, and a nice collection of shoes. I seen they had Keens and vibram shoes. Not sure how cheap they are though.
OK so my KEEN TRYON WP lasted 10 months before they needed some hot glue gun support. I played disc golf about 1 -2 times a week over that 10 months. My plant foot got worn down on both the inside & outside edge. I worn a hole on both sides down to the water proofing fabric before i added some hot glue to take the fallow through dragging.
good thing is my wife scored them for $65.oo shipped
still great feeling 100% perfect shoe for my game. So I just now bought another set of the same color, size & style for $75.oo shipped. Lets see how long these last & maybe i can keep a preventative step ahead or the damage.
BTW i find these great deals on Ebay
I have a pair of Keens I got for Christmas. The toecap on my left shoe (my drag foot with a left-hand forehand,) has worn all the way through the rubber. The rest of the shoes are still in great shape, and there isn't even any degredation of tread. I'm thinking of taking them to a shoe repair place and having a steel toe cap put over that one if they can do it. I don't care if it looks good, I just want it to last (and if I wear through the rubber covering to a steel toe I might generate sparks when I drive. That's kind of a cool effect.)
I used to drag my toe more then i do now...my shoes last longer...just gotta change your form some...ill give though when it comes to throwing forehand its difficult
you gotta get worse to get better...Keen is the best though for toe issues...I also tried using skateboarding shoes for a while, they are great on pads but everywhere else they mostly sucked

Nausea and vomiting. This side effect is less common with hormonal therapy than it is with chemotherapy. Nausea often goes away on its own. Women can help manage symptoms by eating bland foods such as crackers, toast, and cereal, and drinking lots of fluids – 6 to 8 glasses of liquids such as water, broth, or Gatorade. The doctor or nurse may recommend anti-nausea medications or anti-anxiety medications that prevent or treat nausea or vomiting. If dehydration occurs, intravenous fluids may be needed.
Diarrhea. Diarrhea is a less common side effect of hormone therapy. Dietary measures such as eating a bland diet and avoiding foods such as dairy products and spicy foods can help reduce symptoms. Medications such as loperamide (Imodium) and diphenoxylate (Lomotil) can be used to treat diarrhea.
Constipation. Constipation is a less common side effect of hormone therapy. Daily exercise, eating foods high in fiber such as uncooked fruits and vegetables and whole grain breads and cereals and drinking lots of liquids -- 6 to 8 glasses a day -- can help ease symptoms. If these measures do not work, medicines such as a stool softener or laxative may be needed.
Weight gain. A daily exercise routine of 20 to 30 minutes per day and a weight management program can be helpful. Eating foods low in fat, such as fruits and vegetables is a good idea.
Mood swings. Nervousness, depression, and anxiety are some of the symptoms that women may experience. It is natural to experience strong emotions in response to a diagnosis of breast cancer. These may become stronger when a woman receives hormonal therapy. Relaxation, meditation, and yoga may be useful in controlling mood swings. Exercise may help toward boosting mood and relieving anxiety. Support groups and professional counselors may be helpful for some women. Antidepressants may be prescribed.
Pain, including pain in joints, back, and bones. For mild to moderate pain, over-the-counter pain medication can help alleviate pain in various parts of the body, such as the joints or back. Pain felt at an injection site can be treated with warm or cold compresses. A topical anesthetic cream may also be used.
Cough. Certain hormonal therapies such as the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole can increase coughing symptoms. Women should try to drink at least 8 glasses of fluid a day to keep the lining of the breathing tube moist. Using a humidifier to increase the moisture in the air is also a good idea. Medicines such as dextromethorphan, benzonatate, and guaifenesin may be used to stop or control coughing.
Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disorder in which bones become porous and break more easily. Women who have gone through menopause have a higher risk of bone loss. Tamoxifen may lower bone loss in postmenopausal women. Other hormone therapies may not prevent or modify a woman's risk of getting osteoporosis. For this reason, postmenopausal women with breast cancer should have a bone mineral analysis to determine if a preventive therapy should be used.
Women treated with hormonal therapy should have routine screenings (bone density scans) for osteoporosis. The following suggestions are recommended for people at risk:
- Take calcium and vitamin Dsupplements
- Get regular physical activity, including weight-bearing exercises that put stress on bones, such as jogging, stair climbing, dancing, and resistance exercises such as weight lifting.
- Quit smoking
- Modify alcohol intake
Medications that prevent bone loss include the bisphosphonates risedronate and alendronate. These two drugs, along with raloxifene and calcitonin, are available to treat osteoporosis. In postmenopausal women, tamoxifen has been shown to increase bone density. However, in women who have not been through menopause, tamoxifen seems to increase bone loss. Women should talk to their doctor about which medicines, if any, would be best for them.
Rare But Serious Side Effects
Endometrial cancer. Although most side effects of hormonal therapy are not life-threatening, in very rare (less than or equal to 1%) cases, tamoxifen can raise a woman's chances of getting endometrial cancer, which occurs in the lining of the uterus. Women taking tamoxifen should report any unusual vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding, menstrual irregularities, or pain or pressure in the lower abdomen to their doctor or nurse. Annual pelvic examinations to look for signs of cancer are also recommended.
Blood clots. Some hormonal therapies, such as tamoxifen, carry a slight risk (about 1% over 5 years) of blood clots forming in the deep blood vessels of the legs and groin. Clots can break off and spread to the lungs. Blood clots stop the flow of blood and can cause serious medical problems. Signs of a blood clot in the lungs include sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, or coughing up blood. Symptoms of a blood clot in the legs include pain, swelling, or tenderness in the groin or legs. Women should let their doctor know if they have a history of blood clots. They should also report any of these symptoms to the doctor or nurse as soon as possible.
Effects on the eye. Tamoxifen can cause cataracts or changes to parts of the eye called the cornea or retina. Women should report any vision changes -- including an inability to tell the difference between colors--to their healthcare provider.
Stroke. Tamoxifen increases a woman's chance of having a stroke. Symptoms of stroke include weakness, difficulty walking or talking, or numbness. Women should immediately report these symptoms to their doctor.
