is this printer, Epson Artisan 837 Color All in one Lion compatible?
- Asked by Catherine H from Howell
Epson Artisan 837 Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer
Product No Longer Available
3 Answers from the Community
Not really. The scanner doesn't work. The program "Epson Scan" is not Lion compatible.
- Answered by Paul C from Arvada
Best Answer:
Epson's website indicates that it is compatible. To ensure you have the most updated drivers you should first install the printer, then perform a "software update" located under the Apple Menu. If the Epson update download don't show up that means you already have the most current drivers.
- Answered by Trenton B from San Rafael
Yes it is compatible for printing and scanning. To scan to the computer you just use Apple's own scanning app (Image Capture).

What Did You Do To Your KTM Today?

Oil Change
Went on the usual ride to Mozambique last week after some HEAVY rain (150km ). Hit a big puddle and came down, engine cutout switch works , Looked back , Blimey KTM 525 EXC is doing the Yellow Submarine thing . Had to fish it out . pushed it out and about 1 hour later got it started but by then the misses was there with the pickup. And full of jokes .
Anyway checked the oil to find some water got inside !
Crap how on earth , the air filter was sopping wet. Somehow i was very lucky not to get a hydrolock , the water could only get into oil via carburetor.
Changed the oil and filters , it was not black but a grey color, , even washed the inside with a liter of petrol , and left it for the day to dry out , slowly pushing on the kick starter to turn engine a bit to get all the oily water out.
Filled her up and it seems there is still some water left in the system as the oil level inspection window is covered with what looks likes a thin film of water drops . Looks white and can't see through it. Is that moisture condensing there
Damm what now ? Must i do it all over or not ? how about i leave the oil filter cap of and ask the water to kindly leave ?? Or can i just go for a long ride and it will get out of the system?

DropTag will Let You Know When and If Your Parcel has been Dropped
Keeping track of dropped and damaged parcels has just got easier – with a new sensor system and app developed by innovative product development firm Cambridge Consultants. Called DropTag, the concept shows at a glance what's happened to a package in transit. And it could end the gamble of signing for a delivery without unpacking and checking the goods first – as well as giving delivery companies and manufacturers reliable real-time information about the status of packages being transported.

It is hard to tell where is where in the vast Minecraft worlds and thus, a map is needed. Just like the one that we often saw on RPG games, Reis minimap mod provides small map of the area, indicating where is out position in it. With the mini map, you can determine where you are and where you want to go. This will make your hunting easier.
Reis Minimap Mod Minecraft 1.2.5– Different Areas, Different Image
The Reis minimap mod goes as far as giving different characteristic of visualization for every different terrain surrounding your character. In the map, you can see lake, river, mountain, forest, village, and thus kind of different visualization really helps in pinpointing your position in the Minecraft world. Now if you usually found yourself always trying to figure out where are you and where is your next destination, you will not have to put up with such irritating situation anymore with ths Reis minimap mod installed. The simple yet useful new feature is available for Minecraft v.1.2.5.
Reis Minimap Mod Minecraft 1.2.5– How to Install It
The current map mod available is the reis minimap mod minecraft 1.2.5 download. To install it, first make sure that your Minecraft is compatible with the mod. Next is downloading the mod and ModLoader (if you have not have one). Extract the software and leave it for now while you locate the Minecraft roaming in your computer. To do this, go to the Start menu, and type "%appdata%" in the column. You will then see Minecraft folder. Enter it and enter again, the bin folder. Open up the minecraft.jar inside. To do these, you have to had winrar or zip7 in your computer. After that, inside the minecraft.jar, you will see META.INF folder. Delete that folder. Next, we go back to the extracted file of the mod and the ModLoader. Select all those files and drag them to the minecraft.jar file. Then play the game. The map from Reis minimap mod will already appear on the screen.

The Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 Dracula's Destiny trailer is one of the few trailers that I'm really impressed by that doesn't have a lot of gameplay in it. Trailers without gameplay usually drive me nuts. It's all about the mood though, and making me want to watch it. And this one does just that! The music is great and the narration kept me interested.
In Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2, Dracula seeks death and is offered mortality in return of a favor. The Belmont's are back and Satan has shown up, looking pretty cool. Hate. Fury. Vengeance. By your powers combined, I am your Destiny! (I hope you got the reference cuz I'm laughing.) This is a really cool trailer. I still haven't completed the first game. I got pretty far in it on my PS3 then I bought it on Steam thanks to a very nice sale. This trailer definitely made me want to play more. It's another one of my favorite games. I really have no idea why I still haven't completed it yet. Time I suppose. And now, check out this sweet trailer!
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will be coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC on February 27th, 2014. Available for pre-order.

Game One Box Score
Game Two Box Score
Lowell, Mass. - Holy Cross extended its winning streak to four straight games after defeating Navy, 4-1 and 10-9, in Patriot League doubleheader action at Alumni Park in Lowell on Sunday afternoon. Senior third baseman Mike Schell led the Crusaders with a 4-for-7 performance, including two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored on the afternoon, and sophomore Andrew Tenaglia hit a walk off home run in the second game to give the Crusaders a come-from-behind win. The Crusaders improve to 8-9 overall and 2-0 in the League. Navy drops to 6-20-1 overall and 2-4 in the conference.
In the first game, Holy Cross put two runs on the board in the first inning after Schell doubled to center, scoring Jamie Aldrich. Junior Tucker Frawley scored the other HC run on a sacrifice by senior Steve Buckley. Navy kept it close, putting an unearned run on the board in the third before Schell scored on a wild pitch by Navy's Burgess Nichols in the third. In the fourth inning, Frawley scored his second run of the game on a Schell double to center, giving Holy Cross a 4-1 advantage. Schell led the Crusaders offensively with a 3-for-3 performance at the plate, including two doubles, two RBI and a run scored.
Mike Miller (3-1) went the distance for Holy Cross, throwing a complete-game two-hitter to pick up his third win of the season. Miller struck out six and walked two without allowing any earned runs. Nichols pitched six innings for the Mids, allowing four earned runs on eight hits. He also struck out seven and walked two.
In the second game, Holy Cross took and early 3-0 lead in the first after RBI singles by Schell and Buckley. Andrew Tenaglia then recorded an RBI on a fielder's choice, scoring Schell. Navy battled back in the top of the second inning to score two runs and cut the Crusader lead to one (3-2). D.J. Faldowski sent an RBI single to right center and advanced to third on a Ryan McGinn double. Faldowski scored one batter later on a sacrifice fly by Thomas Hamilton.

In the top of the fifth, Navy scored two more runs, taking a 5-3 lead. Renaldo Hollins scored on a fielder's choice and Dominic Lopez crossed the plate on a balk by HC pitcher Matt Blake. The Crusaders responded in the bottom half of the inning when Tucker Frawley singled through the right side to drive home Mike Marron, getting HC within one (5-4). With the bases loaded later in the inning, Brian Abraham singled to right center, scoring Frawley and Schell to put Holy Cross back on top, 6-5.
Navy's Mitchell Harris tied the game again (6-6) when he homered in the top of the eighth. Two batters later, McGinn hit a two-run jack into the left field stands to put the Mid's back in front, 8-6.
In the bottom of the eighth, Jamie Aldrich singled to center, scoring Tom Potvin to get the Crusaders within one (8-7). Frawley then reached on an error by the third baseman Lopez, which enabled Andrew Sweeney to score the tying run from second base. But Navy took the lead back in the top of the ninth when Trevor Thompson scored from second base after an errant throw to first base on a routine play to second, giving the Mids a 9-8 lead.
Tenaglia then came to the plate with no outs in the bottom of the ninth and sent a shot over the fence in left center for a two-run walk off homer.

An accident that took place on the sideline during the Mississippi State-Ole Miss football game Thursday night injured an individual wearing the Bulldog (Bully) mascot costume.
Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin confirmed on Friday morning that the person wearing the costume was Michaela Mills. She was struck by a camera cart used for ESPN's coverage of the game and suffered a compound fracture of the leg. The accident took place in the fourth quarter of the Battle for The Golden Egg. The Bulldogs defeated the Rebels 17-10 in overtime.
Several reports indicated that Mills was assisted on the sideline by the medical staff and had her leg placed in an air cast. Mills was carted off the field on a stretcher and was still in her mascot outfit as she left the stadium. She underwent surgery to treat the injury on Thursday night.
According to an Oktibbeha County Hospital Regional Medical Center spokesman, Mills was in "good condition" and is expected to be released today.
The family of Mills has declined to comment on the situation at this time.
Stricklin tweeted well wishes to Mills on Friday morning and had planned to call her later.
"Our cheerleaders and spirit groups and mascots do a great job of supporting our athletic teams," Stricklin said. "We certainly don't want to see something like this happen, but we certainly hope she has a quick recovery."

Jubilee Presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta has promised to ensure peace irregardless of the winner. Uhuru said the aim of the jubilee coalition is to bring all communities together because the nation should come before individuals.
"Whether we take the next government or not, we will ensure there is peace in the country," he said. Uhuru was addressing supporters at Kaloleni grounds in Kitale during a series of rallies in Trans Nzoia.
He was accompanied by his running mate William Ruto, former Cherangany MP Joshua Kuttuny, his Dujis counterpart Aden Duale and various Trans Nzoia candidates.
Uhuru promised Trans Nzoia farmers that a Jubilee government will provide subsidised fertiliser and seeds to improve agriculture.
"Agriculture will be one of our priorities as Jubilee if we take the government. We are seeking your support to help us take the next government," he said. Uhuru called for peaceful elections.
He accused his Cord rivals of their criticism over land adding that he bought his land and those who think he acquired it illegally should take him to court.
A Jubilee government, Uhuru said, will settle squatters and issue title deeds to all landowners. "It is illegal to take someone's land and my brothers from Cord should know that I bought my land," he said.
Ruto said a Jubilee government will put in place a special kitty for women and youth which will give out business loans without interest and security.
He termed Cord's presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga a dictator saying his leadership has seen all pentagon members abandon him.
Ruto said the international community has accepted to work with any president who will be elected following US president Obama's statement to Kenyans on Tuesday.

Dry season farmers in Sokoto state are to get various loans totaling N1 billion to boost food production, Commissioner for Agriculture, Alhaji Arzika Tureta has said.
Disclosing this during the 2nd Meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee of the Sokoto Rima River Basin Development Authority, SRRBDA in Sokoto on Tuesday, he said that the money would be sourced from the account of Federal Government Agricultural Credit Scheme.
According to Tureta, "The disbursement of the low interest credit facilities, which were guaranteed by the State Government will soon commence."
In order for farmers in the state to engage in modern agricultural practices, which would enable them produce more food for local consumption and export, he announced the State Government's plans to recruit additional agricultural extension workers that would be equipped and trained.
Tureta further stressed the need to impound water in order to combat and mitigate the climate change phenomena on the socioeconomic development in the areas of SRRBDA, which cover Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara and Katsina states.
"We must re-emphasize the need to impound water to arrest flood and release it for irrigation and other socioeconomic purposes," he emphasised adding, "I therefore call on the Federal Government to take urgent steps in investing more in hydrological and flood control issues as well as put in place regulatory and legal framework for robust private sector participation in all aspects of the water sector," Tureta emphasised.
Speaking, Managing Director of SRBDA, Alhaji Yusuf Khalid said that the meeting was aimed at developing an inclusive water resources development and management in the country.

B.A., summa cum laude, Abilene Christian University
Joel Nichols serves as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law at the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota). He is also a Senior Fellow at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University. His scholarship centers on the intersection of law and religion, especially in family law, First Amendment law, and human rights.

Dean Nichols also co-authored Religion and the American Constitutional Experiment, 3rd ed. (Westview, 2010) (with John Witte, Jr., Emory Law School). He has written nearly two dozen book chapters and articles, which have appeared in NYU Law Review, Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law, Journal of Law and Religion, Family Court Review, and others. His recent work focuses upon pluralism in family law, the role for civil obedience (and disobedience), and the function of religion in both state and non-state law.
Before moving to St. Thomas in 2007, Dean Nichols taught at Pepperdine Law School. Prior to that, he had clerked for Judge Gerald Bard Tioflat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Jacksonville, Florida, and practiced complex civil litigation in Washington, D.C. at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering (now WilmerHale).

|Intro to Legal Reasoning
|Description of course 699 :
|Through this course, non-lawyers will gain a better understanding of the ways that attorneys are trained to navigate complex situations. Careful reading and analysis of case law and statutes will prepare students to address the ambiguity of many scenarios that arise in compliance work, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and argument. The course will also introduce students to the common law method by which doctrine is created; the importance and authority of statutes, codes, and regulations; and the structure of the U.S. legal system and its various actors and venues. The U.S. doctrines of contract and tort liability will form the substantive underpinning for the course, both because a knowledge of these areas is foundational for many later law courses and also because professionals working in the compliance field encounter these areas of law.
|Family Law
|Description of course 827 :
|This course will explore the legal and policy issues relating to the creation and dissolution of family relation- ships. Students will examine topics such as marriage requirements, co-habitation, marital contracts, property distribution upon divorce, spousal support, child custody and child support.
|Law Review
|Description of course 920 :
|The University of St. Thomas Law Journal embodies the school's unique mission by publishing excellent legal scholarship that inspires ethical and moral decision-making with an emphasis on social justice. The Journal hosts a series of on campus symposia designed to advance the mission and explore the theme reflected in its Latin sub- title, translated "faith and justice." The semiannual symposia also supplies the bulk of the material for each issue. The format promotes meaningful exploration of an intriguing legal issue, and encourages substantial collaboration be- tween law review and faculty members. It's an arrangement designed to draw on the faculty's expertise, while keeping creative and editorial control in the students' hands. First year students are selected as journal members based on a write-on competition held immediately after the spring semester.
|Supervised Resrch & Writing
|Description of course 950 :
|Under the supervision of a faculty member, a student may receive up to two hours of course credit for researching and writing a substantial paper on a topic of the student's own choosing. The student must receive the instructor's per- mission to enroll in this course and must meet periodically with the instructor for discussion, review and evaluation. Each faculty member may supervise the research of no more than five students each semester.
Human Rights
Because law and religion are often inseparable, law cannot be studied in isolation from religion. Adding the lens of religion to the study of the law does at least two things. First, religion helps to distinguish genuine (or just) law from that which is counterfeit. All people have inherent rights that religion helps to delineate. If the law refuses to recognize those rights then the law is, simply, unjust. Second, religion tempers the claims of even "good" laws by reminding the state that individuals have more than one allegiance and authority – not only to the state and its laws, but also to their religions
and other associations, such as families and schools. This temperance should lead to modesty in law's claims, thereby providing ample space for individuals and groups to associate freely. I write about these ideas in family law, constitutional law, human rights and legal history.
Upcoming: To ensure the continued consideration of religion in discussions of marriage and divorce, and to explore the intersection of law and religion in public life.

The research we fund focuses on improving cognition - learning, memory and speech - for people with Down syndrome. We know there are a lot of devoted teachers who are dedicated to doing the same. Thanks to an idea from a valued supporter, we'd like to help you thank and recognize the amazing teachers who make a difference in the life of your loved one with Down syndrome. Learn more.
Thank you to Jeremie Ballinger, Executive Director of the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis, who took some time from the activities at DSAIA to talk about the merger of LuMind Foundation and Research Down Syndrome. We appreciate the time Jeremie took to "welcome collaboration," especially as the DSAGSL was busy collecting numerous awards at the conference. We're so glad to have your support, DSAGSL!
So many of you took advantage of the generous 3:1 match on donations - THANK YOU! We loved seeing all the activity on social media - thank you to everyone who posted, blogged, tweeted or otherwise help to spread the word about the importance of cognition research.
The LuMind Foundation (formerly the Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation – DSRTF) and Research Down Syndrome (RDS), worldwide leaders in advancing Down syndrome cognition research, together announce consolidation of the two organizations. The new foundation will pursue their shared mission more effectively and efficiently, and leverage the tremendous progress each has made to ignite Down syndrome cognition discoveries. Read more in our press release.
Vibrant and inspirational self-advocate Karen Gaffney spoke at the October 2014 Funding Futures to benefit the LuMind Foundation. Karen spoke about the importance of Down syndrome cognition research and "the huge black cloud" that hangs over her about early onset Alzheimer's disease and loss of cognitive gains that every person with Down syndrome faces as they age.
Won't you join us? Ten years ago there was little research on Down syndrome cognitive development being conducted, now there are more promising lines of discovery than we can fund. The LuMind Foundation Board Chair, Ryan Hartman, has a message about why NOW is a critical time to capture the research momentum you've ignited with your donations. Read Ryan's words on our Plus15 Blog.
We're very pleased to announce that NIH has just released the updated document "Down Syndrome Directions," the NIH Research Plan on Down Syndrome. The research plan will provide another great way to work with the DS community to further research efforts. Read more about the plan on our plus15 Blog.
What happens at a ROMP FOR RESEARCH? Find out in this colorful, fun-filled, camera-drone flying video. We especially enjoyed the cameo by Troy, one of our favorite ROMP participants.
You pushed the needle on research! We reached our goal of 2390 and doubled our $100/person donation, by adding at least 125 names to the DS-Connect® registry. In the end, 226 people joined DS-Connect® during the month of October, earning LuMind Foundation $45,200 for research. Better yet - the registry tipped 2500 just after the month closed. Keep watch on the DS-Connect® website to see the gauge move even more.
Thank you to everyone who helped by joining the registry and spreading the word. Read our deepest thanks on our plus15 blog post "DS-Connect® Challenge a Huge Success."

CAT owners will know the feeling. Your pet is demanding to be fed, and isn't going to give up until it gets what it wants. What most doting owners won't realise is that the cat is using an acoustic ruse.
According to Karen McComb of the University of Sussex, UK, domestic cats hide a plaintive cry within their purrs that both irritates owners and appeals to their nurturing instincts.
The team recorded the purrs of 10 different cats when they were soliciting food, and when they were purring in a different context. Fifty people who were asked to rate the purrs on how pleasant and urgent they sounded consistently rated the "solicitation purrs" as more urgent and less pleasant. Cat owners were especially good at distinguishing between the two kinds of purring.
When the team examined the sound spectrum of the solicitation purrs they saw an unusual peak in the ...

Nashville Music: When Does the Next Season 1 Soundtrack Come Out?
We've always dreamed of laying on our fainting couch while Nashville star Sam Palladio (Gunnar Scott) feeds us grapes (the liquid, fermented kind) and serenades us. Obviously, a lot has to happen to make our fantasies come true. His IRL girlfriend Chloe Bennet (Hailey) would have to sign some kind of waiver. Onscreen GF Scarlett (Clare Bowen) would have to come with him and monitor the chemistry we're sure he'd feel while singing to us. And he'd have to do something about that terrifying mustache that is creeping in.
Since all that seems to require too much effort, we're going to have to satisfy ourselves with a little virtual alone time — with the help of our trusty Discman. The super successful first volume of the Nashville Season 1 soundtrack came out in December and we instantly scooped it up. Turns out we weren't alone — there have been nearly two million digital downloads of Nashville Volume 1 songs to date!
But a lot of great music has happened on the show since then, and we've been itching to get it. Well, we won't have much longer to wait, friendos. ABC has announced that the Music of Nashville: Season 1, Volume 2 disc will be released by Big Machine Records on May 7!
The album features some of our favorite songs. Which ones are you dying to hear — from Sam's beautiful lips, or sung by your favorite female stars, tinning its way out of your vintage phonograph (you're so cool)?

New Hampshire (3-3, 1-2 EAGL) at Yale (1-6, 1-2 ECAC)
Feb. 8, 2014 • 1:00 p.m. • John J. Lee Amphitheater • New Haven, Conn.
Video Streaming: http://www.ivyleaguedigitalnetwork.com/packages
LAST TIME OUT (FEB. 1, 2014): DURHAM, N.H. – Hannah Barile (Sinking Spring, Pa.) scored a personal-best 9.850 on vault and added a season-high 9.850 on floor exercise to help UNH complete Saturday's come-from-behind 195.450-193.950 EAGL victory against Maryland at Lundholm Gym.
UNH scored season highs on vault (49.075), bars (48.400), beam (48.925) and floor (49.050) to improve to 3-3 overall and 1-2 in EAGL competition.
Kelsey Aucoin (Double Oak, Texas) established career highs on vault (9.825, T-4th), beam (9.850, T-1st) and floor (9.800, T-3rd); Meghan Pflieger (Barneveld, N.Y.) competed as an all-around for the first time in her career and compiled a first-place 39.100. Pflieger started with a 9.825 on vault (T-4th), set a personal best on beam (9.850) to share first place with Aucoin, totaled a 9.625 in her collegiate debut on uneven bars (T-9th) and capped her night with a career-high 9.800 on floor (T-3rd).
"So proud of the team chemistry and determination to hit 23 out of 24 sets," head coach Gail Goodspeed said. "Amazing is the word that comes to mind. Meghan Pflieger was amazing in her first meet as an all-around, the atmosphere of the crowd was amazing with the electricity of the 'I believe in UNH' cheer, and it was an amazing tribute to our honored faculty and staff."
Barile, who received the meet's Katie Baldwin Expression Award, earned third place on vault; Aucoin and Pflieger shared fourth.
On bars, Maryland's Stephanie Giameo (9.750) finished in third place behind the Tang sisters. UNH's top bar performers were Erika Rudiger (Slidell, La.) and Jessica Gracia (Bahama, N.C.), who shared fourth place (9.725) with Maryland's Elizabethe Manzi.
Aucoin and Pflieger ignited the 'Cats beam lineup, sharing first place with Manzi. Kayla Gray (Buffalo, N.Y.) hit for a 9.800 to place fourth.
The Wildcats erased a 0.15 deficit in the final rotation by placing five gymnasts in the top-3 on floor. Barile finished second, and five 'Cats were part of a six-way tie for third (9.800): Aucoin; Rudiger; Pflieger and Erin Machado (Swansea, Mass.) matched UMD's Emily Brauckmuller.
"As we were going to floor with Maryland heading to beam, I said 'Let's compete.' After a fall from our first performer, the rest of the team rose to the challenge and hit great sets," Goodspeed added. "We thank the University and gymnastics community for their outstanding support today."
SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS: Yale (1-6) is hosting its third and final home meet of the season.
Yale has already faced New Hampshire earlier this season, at the Wildcat Invitational, where the Bulldogs finished fourth with a score of 187.500. The Wildcats were second with a 193.700. Junior Morgan Traina was excellent in the Invitational, scoring the Bulldogs' highest score on all four events. She finished fifth in the all-around with a 38.550.
The Bulldogs will also be attempting to better their results from last weekend's Bulldog Invitational. Traina and fellow junior Joyce Li and finished in sixth and eighth place in the all-around, scoring 37.275 and 35.000 points, respectively. Sophomore Brittney Sooksengdao finished tied in third with Traina on the balance beam, scoring a 9.725. Senior captain Ashley O'Connor was sixth on the beam with a 9.650.
Saturday's competition will be the final home meet for Yale's four seniors, as O'Connor, Maren Hopkins, Nicole Tay and Tabitha Tay make their final home appearances for the Bulldogs.
THREE STRAIGHT TOP ROOKS: For the second time in three weeks, freshman Meghan Pflieger (Barneveld, N.Y.) has been honored as the EAGL Rookie of the Week. Pflieger was feted Tuesday after leading the Wildcats to a season-high 195.450 in Saturday's home win against Maryland.
Pflieger, who was previously named the EAGL co-Rookie of the Week on Jan. 21, competed as an all-around for the first time in her career and compiled a first-place 39.100. The native of Barneveld, N.Y., started with a 9.825 on vault (T-4th), set a personal best on beam (9.850) to earn a share of first place, totaled a 9.625 in her collegiate debut on uneven bars (T-9th) and capped her night with a career-high 9.800 on floor (T-3rd).
UNH has won the EAGL Rookie of the Week award three straight weeks, with Kelsey Aucoin (Double Oak, Texas) garnering the honor Jan. 28 between Pflieger's two awards.

The Kansas City Chiefs are rolling the dice on Dontari Poe, but I love the fit.
Poe didn't play like a top-15 pick last year, but he absolutely has the size/athleticism combo to be a stud at nose tackle. While I wouldn't be crazy about some other teams taking him this high, I trust Romeo Crennel to groom him into a quality nose tackle. Crennel worked with Vince Wilfork early in his career, and got briefly rejuvenated Shaun Rogers career by turning him into a nice tackle in Cleveland as well.

In scene i, Martha is alone, and her soliloquy reveals her sense of abandonment and a desire to make up with George. She imagines a scene where they admit that they would do anything for each other. After remembering the game, "Hump the Hostess," she prepares the audience for Nick's failure by repeating "Fat chance . . . Fat chance." She goes on to talk about her father, herself, and George and recognizes the sadness and bitterness that underscores her relationship with them both.

Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi speaks at the Council for Foreign Affairs on Park Avenue, Monday, Oct. 1, 2012, in New York. (AP Photo/John Minchillo)
DUBAI, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi visited Qatar in the past week to discuss the fate of 48 Iranians kidnapped by rebels in Syria, a deputy foreign minister said on Saturday, according to Iran's Fars news agency.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian did not say who Salehi met while in Qatar, whose government is a major supporter of rebels fighting to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Iran's closest ally in the region.
Syrian rebels fighting to overthrow Assad seized the group of 48 Iranians in August, accusing them of being members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards sent to help Syrian government forces crush the uprising which began in March last year.
Iran says the group was on a religious pilgrimage and has called for their immediate release.
"During this trip in addition to the developments in Syria, specifically the 48 kidnapped Iranian pilgrims in Syria were discussed," Amir-Abdollahian said, according to Fars.
Iran has called on Turkey and Qatar to use their links with rebel groups to help secure their freedom.
The al-Baraa brigade, part of the main rebel group, the Free Syrian Army, said last week it would start killing the Iranians within 48 hours unless Assad freed Syrian opposition detainees and stopped shelling civilian areas.
But Qatar, following a request from Iran, urged the rebels not to carry out the threat. Amir-Abdollahian said on Saturday the kidnapped Iranians were in good health.
Saudi Arabia's intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, also visited Qatar this week, Qatari news agencies reported. Saudi Arabia is also supporting the Syrian rebels.
There was no indication of any link between the two visits.

need to know timing setting for a 1987 merc 188 hp. ford v8.
need to know timing setting for a 1987 merc 188 hp. ford v8.
What you actually need to do.... (must do)..., is to see your OEM service manual, and NOT take anyone's advice on such a critical specification...... not unless it can be shown to you from the OEM spec in the correct engine manual.
Not that BASE Advance is all that critical, but the OEM will offer you what the Total Advance should be.
BASE is BASE all day and all week long....., we start on BASE, and we idle on BASE......, but the more critical Ignition Advance will be your TA.
Don't be one of these owners who sets BASE only, and then walks away.
See the OEM specs, and then test this at the RPM given for Full In ignition advance!
Rick ... aka Ricardo

28' SDN F/B w/ twin Volvo Penta 5.7L DP's
2X on verifying the entire set of timing parameters.
The OEM manual shows the base timing at 10 deg BTDC. the advance curve (without the base setting) has a two slope curve, with a max and a min bound. The max shows zero advance at 1000 rpm, 20 deg at 1600 rpm, and flatlines at 26 deg @ 4000 rpm. The min line isn't as clear but shows ~ 22 deg at 4000 rpm with the intermediate point around 18 deg @ 1900 rpm. Also shows WOT @ 3800-4200 rpm. (merc manual #02)
Wow, 20 deg at 1,600 rpm seems awfully early to me. That's only 1k rpm above a low idle.
Not necessarily doubting you, Mark... but I am surprised!
Rick ... aka Ricardo
Portland, Oregon
28' SDN F/B w/ twin Volvo Penta 5.7L DP's
Gotta remember, that's an old ford engine.
I didn't make the timing curve, just sharing what's in the manual.
Also noteworthy, this is the original data provided by mercruiser - no attempt was made to find revisions in Service Bulletins, etc., so use it at your own risk....the fuel that was sold back then is NOT the same as what comes from the nozzle today.

Vienna Girardi Is Opening a Clothing Boutique in Florida
ABC can't list her as "unemployed" anymore! Bachelor Pad 2 alum Vienna Girardi just got herself a new gig as a store owner. She tweeted the news on Tuesday, October 4, 2011.
@ViennaGirardi: "I am opening a Clothing Boutique in Orlando, FL near UCF. I'll keep you up on the progress and what I'm working on. Today: sign design."
Vienna has been open about her struggle to find work after Jake Pavelka proposed to her on The Bachelor Season 14. As she said during the second part of the After the Final Beatdown special, it's hard for people to take you seriously as an employee after you appear on the show. She's gone into interviews where the people in the office just want to take her pictures, then say they can't hire her because she'd be too distracting.
Well, self-employment is a good fix for that. She is from Florida and her family still lives there, but last we heard she was living with boyfriend Kasey Kahl in the L.A. area. So how is it going to work? We shall watch the endeavor with great interest.

Is the US an empire? Group in Tampa says yes
Kate Bradshaw
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
When they hear the word empire, many people think of Rome, Babylon, Britain, or the USSR. But today a group in Tampa talked about imperial aspects of the United States. Just ahead of the countryâs two-hundred-thirty-fifth birthday, a United Church of Christ workshop revealed an imperial America they say varies greatly from the vision of the nationâs founders.
Reverend Tom Warren is with a United Church of Christ congregation in Pleasant Hill, Tennessee. In talking about America as an imperial power, he read from a speech then-Secretary of State Quincy Adams gave to the House of Representatives on July 4, 1821.
"The United States, these are his words, goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She knows well that by once enlisting under other banners then her own she would involved herself beyond the power of extrication. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. She might become the dictatress of the world. I think that's how it's said, dictatress. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit."
Warren said Americaâs indigenous population might not agree, but the ideas of freedom and exceptionalism are engrained for most Americans. He followed Adamsâ quote with a more recent one.
"This is a quote by an unnamed senior advisor to the Bush administration. I searched around the internet and most people think this is Karl Rove. It probably fits. But apparently this unnamed senior advisor said that 'Objective reality no longer matters very much. That's not the way the world really works anymore,' this official said. 'We are an empire now and when we act we create our own reality.' "
Reverend Joyce Hollyday of Asheville, North Carolina-based Circle of Mercy UCC, said the United States falls pretty squarely under the definition of empire.
"We economically control much of the world. We politically and militarily control much of the world. We're about military campaigns in many places. Resources from all over the world are coming to support our way of life here. The standard statistic now is that the United States is less than 5 percent of the global population, we consume more than a quarter of the resources."
Todayâs conference examined other components of an empire, including religious and economic. Warren said religious indoctrination â subtle or otherwise â is a key tool for any imperial power.
" My understanding is that you can't understand Jesus as lord if you don't also understand that Caesar was lord first. It is about a reclaiming of Jesus from the Roman Empire, the Pax Romana."
He said there are many instances in the Christian Bible where an imperial message conflicts with that of the bookâs central actors, something centuries of re-interpretation have mixed up even further. Joyce Hollyday said the book of Revelations is a striking example of this.
"It has been used a lot to talk about an apocalyptic vision of the end times. Whereas I think it's actually speaking in very dramatic imagery to our current situation. It begins with John writing letters to the churches and there is the belief that because the Book of Revelation was written from exile on the isle of Patmouse that it was a time of persecution for the church but actually commentators now generally agree that it was a time of seduction for the church. The Chrisitians were being seduced by the power of the empire, which I think is also the kind of moment that we are in right now."
She said even though the consensus among biblical scholars has changed, it hasnât caught on in mainstream America â if Mayâs rapture frenzy is any indication. She said the fire and brimstone imagery used in Revelation was mostly metaphor, but it sure is good at striking fear among a population that gets its social and moral cues from scripture.
"We have many, many messages of fear around us. I think this is just one more way of getting people to live in the fear rather than living, trying to make space for all of us on the earth."
Edie Rasell is minister of economic justice with UCC Justice and Witness Ministries. She spoke about the ways in which certain economic policies can further the interests of an empire.
"When we talk about empire the whole purpose, in my view, is to get stuff; money, raw materials, goods, whatever it's going to be to benefit us from the rest of the world. We do this primarily not by military means but through the rules that govern our economic system. The rules right now are the rules governing what we call globalization and they're rules like what we call free trade, free investment."
She said a key example of this is the North American Free Trade Agreement, which has weakened the middle and working class in the name of cheap goods and corporate profits.
"The result of that has been we do sell more to Mexico, but we have had a lot of firms move to Mexico, get cheaper workers down there and then they sell the stuff back to the United States. They get a lot of profit because they get it made very cheaply. We lose all of our jobs but we get cheap goods."
For many in attendance, there was a tie between the economics of empire and religion. Greg Stevens lives in Ybor City and belongs to an organization that aims to help the poor and homeless.
"I'm a part of an underground network and we're kind of a mission organization that is attempting to be some sort of redemptive voice on the margins of society. We, a lot of us come from kind of white elite backgrounds and we're attempting to serve the less fortunate with kind of a white elite mindset and we realized it didn't work so to stand in solidarity with those we are working with we moved and became poor."
He said examining the US as an empire helps him better understand how and why poor have been marginalized -- and maybe even do something about it.
"I think that the margins are there because of the empirical powers that are at hand, financially and what not. The structures there, the economic structures and so to know about the structures that are creating the margins and are pushing me to the margins are kind of one of the reasons I would say that I am here."
The UCC has several demonstrations planned, including one Sunday night at MacDill Air Force Base.

Final Score: NY Jets 37, Cincinnati 0
East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - Brad Smith ran for 92 yards and a score on only four carries, and the New York Jets crushed the Cincinnati Bengals, 37-0, in the final regular season game at Giants Stadium to clinch the final playoff spot.
Thomas Jones and Jerricho Cotchery each added two and one rushing scores, respectively, for the Jets (9-7), who won five of their last six games to earn the AFC's fifth seed and a trip to Cincinnati to take on these same Bengals at 4:30 p.m. (et) on Saturday in the wild card round.
Mark Sanchez threw for only 63 yards on 8-of-16 passing, but it was the New York defense that sent the Giants Stadium faithful out with a win, holding the Bengals to just 72 total yards -- seven in the first half.
"We're excited, we're happy with this win, getting in the playoffs," said New York head coach Rex Ryan. "We're definitely not satified. This is just a start. We got to take this show on the road, and we got to get this done without our fans. It's a huge challenge."
Giants Stadium, which has housed the New York Giants since 1976 and the Jets since 1984, will be demolished to make room for Meadowlands Stadium, which will open next season as the new home for both teams. Unless the Jets face the sixth-seeded Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship, Sunday's win was the final professional football game at the venue.
Cincinnati (10-6) couldn't get much going with most of its starters in the first half, then the reserves didn't do much better in the second. J.T. O'Sullivan passed for just 31 yards on 3-of-8 passing after relieving Carson Palmer, who completed just 1-of-11 passes for zero yards and an interception.
"I don't want to lose a football game, and how we lost -- I don't think it really matters," said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. "We didn't want to lose the football game, and we had something to play for tonight, and we didn't get it done."
With Cedric Benson inactive, former Chief Larry Johnson led the team in rushing with 38 yards on nine carries. The Bengals could have claimed the third seed with a win, but the loss simply drops them to the fourth seed as the AFC North champs.
The Jets completely dominated the first half, holding the Bengals to seven total yards while putting 27 points on the board.
New York took its opening drive 72 yards in seven plays, and Jones burst through the line and into the end zone from one yard out to put the home team ahead early.
Following the first of many three-and-outs for Cincy in the first half, the Jets went on a 21-play, 74-yard drive that ended with a Jay Feely 20-yard field goal early in the second quarter for a 10-0 edge. The march took over 11 minutes off the clock.
The Bengals got their only first down of the half via a defensive illegal contact penalty but still had to punt, and Smith subbed in at quarterback and went 32 yards on a designed rush for another touchdown and 17-0 lead with 6 1/2 minutes left.
Cotchery ran for a six-yard score on the Jets' next series, and Feely hit a 39-yard field goal as time expired in the first half for a dominating 27-0 advantage.
The third quarter was low-scoring, as Cincinnati's reserves entered the game. New York added the only points of the period -- a 40-yard field goal from Feely -- to take a 30-point lead into the fourth.
Jones capped the scoring with a two-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, as the teams ran mostly running plays to wind down the clock.
Game Notes
Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Ochocinco slipped and appeared to injure himself during pre-game warmups, but he played briefly and isn't expected to miss next week's game. He didn't have a reception, ending his streak of 120 consecutive games with at least one catch...Jones finished with 78 yards rushing and set a single-season franchise record with 14 rushing touchdowns for the Jets. He finished the 2009 campaign with a career-high 1,402 yards...Shonn Greene ran for 62 yards on 13 carries for New York...Cincinnati finished the season with a 4-4 road record, while the Jets finished 4-4 at home...Ryan became the third consecutive Jets coach to reach the postseason in his first year...New York finished its tenure at Giants Stadium with a 103-104-1 regular season record and a 3-1 playoff record...The Bengals are now 0-11 all time at Giants Stadium...Cincinnati defensive tackle Pat Sims fractured his right forearm, a season-ending injury.

A new study from the University of Colorado Denver shows that the earliest human burial practices in Eurasia varied widely, with some graves lavish and ornate while the vast majority were fairly plain.
"We don't know why some of these burials were so ornate, but what's striking is that they postdate the arrival of modern humans in Eurasia by almost 10,000 years," said Julien Riel-Salvatore, Ph.D., assistant professor of anthropology at CU Denver and lead author of the study. "When they appear around 30,000 years ago some are lavish but many aren't and over time the most elaborate ones almost disappear. So, the behavior of humans does not always go from simple to complex; it often waxes and wanes in terms of its complexity depending on the conditions people live under.".

The Music Factory
The Music Factory (TMF) is a pop music television channel that operates in Belgium.
TMF previously operated channels in the Netherlands (TMF Nederland, where it started, as well as in the UK with TMF UK and Australia with (TMF Australia). The brand is owned by MTV Networks International (part of the Viacom conglomerate). It shows only pop videos and locally produced live programming in Belgium and likewise with TMF Netherlands before its closure, the British TMF aired some of MTV's and VH1's programmes like Cribs, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, Hogan Knows Best and Run's House.
TMF Nederland[edit]
TMF Nederland was launched on 1 May 1995 as the only local pop station in the Netherlands. It was founded by Lex Harding and the Arcade company. The station gradually began to get better viewer figures than MTV,[citation needed] so in 2002, MTV bought shares in TMF. Since 1996 headquartered in Bussum, the channel was notable for its dance music mixes. In 2005, three new channels, plus a radio station began broadcasting in the Netherlands under the TMF brand:
- TMF Dance - specialised in German, British, French, Belgian and Dutch trance and house music. Formerly known as "TMF Party".
- TMF NL - specialised in local Dutch music.
- TMF Pure - specialised in Soul, and R&B music.
- TMF Hit Radio - Launched on 27 December 2006 and later dropped the TMF branding which soon after became 'Hit Radio'
On 1 September 2011, TMF Nederland ceased broadcasting in the Netherlands entirely.
TMF Flanders[edit]
TMF Flanders (TMF Vlaanderen) was the first international extension of the TMF brand, broadcast to viewers in the Belgian region of Flanders. TMF Flanders first day on air was October 3, 1998. TMF Flanders was the first Flemish-specific channel that was dedicated to video clip broadcast. VJs at the beginning included Stijn Smets, Yasmine, Inge Moerenhout and Katja Retsin. In the early few years, the broadcasts of TMF Flanders were conducted from the same Dutch studio facility that operated TMF Netherlands.
It broadcasts entirely in Dutch with local Flemish presenters. From the start, TMF Flanders is being distributed via cable-TV (analog and/or digital) and IPTV. Founded in 1998, its headquarters were in Mechelen but have been moved to Lint. It is the sole TMF channel that is currently still in operation.
TMF UK & Ireland[edit]
TMF launched on 30 October 2002 as a counter against EMAP's The Hits request music channel on Freeview. The channel was also available on Sky Digital and Virgin Media. The channel, alongside its music output, showed reruns of successful MTV and VH1 shows such as Pimp My Ride, Jackass and Cribs. There was also a Noggin strand in the morning for pre-school children.
On Mondays, TMF used to broadcast The Official UK Top 40 narrated by Phil Clifton, a day after it was broadcast on BBC Radio 1. The show featured videos of the singles of the previous week and charts their position in terms of record sales. On 26 October 2009, TMF UK & Ireland was replaced with the UK version of VIVA.[1]
TMF Australia[edit]
MTV Networks Australia launched a local version of TMF as a fully integrated, multi-platform 24-hour music channel in May 2007. TMF focused on the interactive playground and along with a selection of music video clips including programming and viewer-generated content including images, videos, text-based applications and graphics. Furthering the connectivity between the platforms, TMF was the first music channel in Australia to seamlessly connect all platforms as well as simulcast to mobile 24 h a day via the Optus Zoo mobile portal launched in September 2007.
However in November 2010, TMF Australia was replaced with an Australian version of MTV Hits.

It was back in 1957 that an intrepid Minister of External Affairs, Lester B. Pearson created a diplomatic innovation that would change how countries practice international relations for the rest of time. For engineering the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF), the world's first peacekeeping operation, Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1979, then-Ambassador Kenneth Taylor helped six Americans escape from Iran during the Hostage Crisis in a covert operation called the Canadian Caper. In the 1990s, Minister of Foreign Affairs Llyod Axworthy was a champion for the idea of Human Security. This concept demands that we refocus our attention to specifically keeping human beings safe rather than just the hard power considerations of countries. As a result, threats that would otherwise go unnoticed are brought to the fore. Human Security was the foundation of the 1997 Ottawa Treaty to ban anti-personnel landmines. For this humanitarian project, Axworthy was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Responsibility to Protect (R2P), a Canadian innovation, paved the way for NATO's operations in Kosovo to bring an end to ethnic cleansing by Slobodan Milosevic's forces and the recent NATO operation in Libya to halt the tyranny of Muammar Gaddafi's regime. These distinctly Canadian initiatives have saved lives and changed the world, and they all started with our now-oft-forgotten diplomatic corps.
This is just a snapshot of the diplomatic history that has earned Canada respect, soft power, and even some moral high ground within the international community. Within the last decade, it is hard to recall the last time that Canada really did something. Our latest diplomatic "accomplishments" are limited to a G8 summit that produced some new patio furniture for Tony Clement's electoral district and some forgettable communiqués, and a G20 summit that saw Toronto's downtown core overrun by a motley crew of protestors, anarchists, and the police trying to constrain them.
This does not bode well for Canada. In a globalized world, our international relationships are not just important but essential. This is a time of enormous geopolitical change. India and China are rising, dictators are dropping like flies in the Arab world, and the economic walls of powerhouse Europe are crumbling. For a country with a population and GDP that are both smaller than those of the State of California, this means something. Retreating within our borders is not a sustainable option.
The recent cuts to DFAIT's budget mean that withdrawal and a withering away of Canada's respected position in the international community are near inevitable. And it's already happening.
Last year, Canada lost in the UN General Assembly election for a seat on the Security Council. Did we lose to a beacon of multilateralism? Did we lose to a key peacekeeping troop contributor? No--we lost to Portugal. Has our diplomatic capital really fallen so low? Even our neighbour to the South won't play ball on international trade, resource development, or Arctic issues. As sovereignty questions in the North heat up, Canada's potential to achieve its aims are receding faster than a glacier in An Inconvenient Truth.
Deep cuts to DFAIT undermine our ability to project power and have influence. A ministry of foreign affairs that will be selling off its properties, forcing those who serve to live in unnecessarily dangerous conditions, and hiring-no-more, cannot attract or retain the talent that has historically permeated every level of Canada's diplomatic corps. DFAIT's old guard is aging. When every post will soon become a hardship post, when and how are we going to hire, train, and retain the people who are eyes, ears, and face of our country?
The men and women of DFAIT are by definition removed from the domestic public's eye, but they have done great things in the service of Canadian values. While the diplomatic corps is an easy target for the Conservatives, it is a suicidal blow that will have international repercussions.
Aziza Mohammed recently completed a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD) degree from the Fletcher School focusing on international security studies. In 2011, she worked on equity monitoring in rural India with UNICEF's Emergency Unit.

Arizona Cardinals
All-Access with Bruce Arians: Brown sits out, Starks adds depth, Abraham will be in camp 'soon'
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Head coach Bruce Arians, now in his second year with the Arizona Cardinals, meets the media each day during training camp.
Here, in this space, we'll highlight many of the key topics and personal conversations he has with reporters following the morning walk-through:
"The only news on the injury report: John Brown will miss (Friday) with a tweaked hamstring he got late in practice the other day. We thought it would be better today, but we're going to be cautious with it and make sure he's ready to go next week. He may practice (Saturday), but he's going to miss today.
"Other than that, we signed Max Starks, offensive tackle. Basically you give young players a chance, and if you don't think they can do it, you go to veteran players to build depth. Max is a proven player in the league (and) is in fantastic condition. He will add good, quality depth and competition at that spot. He's played left and right (tackle), and it's a quality player. We're always searching for guys who are still available who we think can add depth right now and build a roster that injuries won't matter. So that's really where we're at right now. You want to give young players all the benefit of the doubt, but once you know that they can't help you, it's time to build depth on your roster."
Compare and contrast the signing of Starks this year to that of Eric Winston last year
"Last year we were not sold we had a right tackle. Right now, I feel very confident in Bobby (Massie). He's having a great camp. This is more of a swing: Eric could not swing; he was a right tackle only. Max has played left for a long time, (but) he started out at right. It's just quality depth for us."
What do you think of the job Tyrann Mathieu is doing on and off the field?
"He's begging me to come off PUP, but he's doing a great job of coaching Deone (Bucannon) out there and keeping himself mentally in it. I get the reports from what they're doing outside, so he's lighting it up out there."
How proud of you are how Mathieu has changed his life?
"You can't be prouder than a guy that asked for a chance and delivers on it. Understanding where he came from is very similar to where I came from, and you make decisions based on your family history. I'm always looking forward to giving guys second chances."
Ted Ginn Jr. has flown under the radar, but seems to catch everything thrown to him
"Teddy's had a great offseason. He's having a good camp. You wonder why the guy hasn't played more receiver -- other than last year in Carolina. I saw him coming out; I really liked him. I'm really glad we have him. He's a heck of a kid and he's having a really good camp. He's catching the ball extremely well."
Are you where you'd like to be at this point in camp?
"I think right now we're right on schedule. I'd hate to say we're ahead of schedule; there are still some young players who I'd like to see grow, but that's not going to happen until we go out against Houston. There will be a little bit this Saturday because the noise level will go up -- the fans and everything. You want to see them: As the lights get brighter, do they shy away or do they shine? I'm anxious to see Saturday, but I'm really anxious to see next Saturday."
Have you had contact with John Abraham, and do you expect him to show up eventually?
"Yeah, he'll be here soon. Everything is fine."
Can you define soon?
"Five or six days."

Brushing the hair from your face
Watching you as you sleep
The very light that fills my soul
Sleeping right next to me
Places my hand on your chest
Gently rubbing your heart
As if to heal it
Mending all the cracks and scars
Kissing your lips
As if to heal the pain that formed upon them
Pecking your eye
Healing it from all the tears you once cried
Grabbing your heart and placing it in a jar
Placing it back into your chest
Building brick around the jar in your chest
Keeping you safe from all the hurt and pain
its when we decided to love eachother
That i realized we were perfect for one another
You are my new soul
You are my new air that i breathe
You are the sunshine i see in the mornings
And the bright stars i see in the night
i love you to all eternity <3

Arrhenoblastoma of the ovary is an ovarian tumor that releases the male hormone, testosterone, or other hormones.
See also: Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor
This is a rare tumor. It accounts for less than 0.5% of all ovarian tumors.
These tumors are found in women of all age groups, but are most common in young women.
This tumor releases male hormones, which cause the following symptoms in women:
Surgery to remove the tumor is the main treatment. If the cancer has spread, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be considered.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems. See cancer - support group.
The outcome of this disease depends on whether it has spread, and whether surgery can completely remove the tumor.
Arrhenoblastoma has a low chance of spreading. If the tumor is found early, the cure rate can be very good.
Call your health care provider if you are a woman and have masculine symptoms, or you feel a lump in your lower belly area.
There is no good screening test. Regular gynecologic exams and recognizing masculine symptoms may help detect the disease.
