January 06, 2015
|Related: Mike Florio, NBC Sports Network, Pro Football Talk, Erik Kuselias
Mike Florio, who created the innovative, NFL-focused web destination ProFootballTalk.com and initially partnered with NBCSports.com in 2009, will extend the PFT brand to another NBC Sports Group platform when he hosts a daily weekday television program on NBC Sports Network beginning Tuesday, Sept. 4. The one-hour Pro Football Talk will air at 5 p.m. ET, every Monday through Friday, and will be co-hosted by Erik Kuselias, the host of NBC SportsTalk.
Pro Football Talk will feature concentrated NFL insight from Florio, who the New York Times said is "a leading source of information." Florio and Kuselias will regularly welcome a roster of NBC Sports football commentators, including Rodney Harrison, Hines Ward, Doug Flutie, Ross Tucker, Amani Toomer, and Peter King, among others. In addition to deep diving on the most topical NFL stories of the day, Pro Football Talk will also touch on injuries, fantasy football and officiating.
"When we started the website, the goal was to create a place I'd want to visit as a football fan. That same objective applies to Pro Football Talk," said Florio. "We wanted to make a show that I would spend time watching if I wasn't involved in it. Of course, some may say they'd be more likely to watch this show if I actually wasn't involved in it." Soon after entering into a mutually beneficial partnership with NBCSports.com in July 2009, Florio began contributing to NBC Sports' television coverage. In addition to Pro Football Talk, he can be found on Football Night in America, on the Sunday Night Football post-game show, breaking down the NFL's top stories of the day with Bob Costas, and on Notre Dame Football halftime segments.
"This was a natural decision for us since Mike is the consummate NFL insider and is familiar to our viewers from his work on Football Night in America, Sunday Night Football, NBC SportsTalk, Notre Dame halftime segments, NBCSports.com as well as his ultra-popular website," said Jon Miller, President, Programming, NBC Sports & NBC Sports Network. "We look forward to him bringing his wealth of NFL information to NBC Sports Network viewers every weekday."

Reviews for Wisconsin Nicaragua Partners of the Americas, Inc.
The W/NP staff in Stevens Point is composed of two very dedicated and capable people. Therefore, W/NP relies on volunteers who are willing to share their time, talents and support. The volunteers never complain while, at times, working in very harsh weather conditions both here and in Nicaragua. Their gratification comes when they see the eagerness and enthusiasm (from Nicaraguans of all ages) to learn from what we give them to help improve their quality of life as well as improve their financial situations.
My first experience was on the Learning Center trip in 2014 and I was very impressed by the people in Nicaragua. They are very friendly and are very appreciative of our help.
The success of W/NP relies heavily on the volunteers. They are the backbone of this worthy organization.
I am chair of the Department of Community Resource Development at University of Wisconsin Extension in Madison and I have been involved with WNP for over 20 years. Many of our faculty members have traveled to Nicaragua to work with the Nicaraguans on agricultural, community development, leadership, organizational development, planning, health, small business development and tourism promotion. WNP has been most supportive and professional in their collaboration and cooperation with the University of Wisconsin.
Currently I am working with Wisconsin beekeepers to teach basic beekeeping to people in Nicaragua to provide them with the education and training to become good beekeepers. The honey from one hive can double the annual income of many impoverished families. WNP has been most helpful in providing the administrative and logistical support for the NicAbeja Proyecto.
I have watched the women, and a few men , learn skills in the learning centers for 30 years. Sometimes the women would like to make a business of their new skills, but lack the knowledge and finances to start. The start of the Opening Doors to Opportunity project was a small grant from the Madison West Rotary to give some basic business instruction and funds to put their experience to work. After ten years, some 300 women, and a few men, have had the experience of putting their ideas into practice. It is gratifying to visit them in their homes, or just to talk with them to feel the enthusiasm and resolve they put into their work. Some have invested the earnings into improving their business. Others have used them for family and home improvements.

I recently traveled on a Learning Center Trek to Nicaragua organized through Wisconsin Nicaragua Partners. Each of us paid our own way to have the opportunity of visiting some of the Learning Centers and visit and the very beautiful county of Nicaragua.
I have often witnessed people in Wisconsin donating their time, talent and money to this organization. I was pleased and humbled to witness the same dedication from people in Nicaragua.
For example there is a widow outside of Managua who opens her own home as a lending library. The library is only a bookshelf full of donated books but it is a library where there was none! She also holds sewing classes on the porch where there are four treadle sewing machines. Plus she sponsors an English teacher to come into her house to teach English to adult and child classes.
And there is the doctor and her pharmacist husband who recognized there wasn't a school for the children in their community...so they opened a school. Not only do they provide the opportunity for learning but they provide meals that are cooked over an open fire.
At the centers my fellow travelers and I had the fun of interacting with Nicaraguans by holding several classes that ranged from sewing to first aid and re-cycling bottles to yoga. We found that people traveled a long way to attend the classes and were very patient with my stumbling attempts to use Spanish correctly.
Nicaragua is a country of great contrasts from the beautiful ocean beaches to old cathedral that remains closed after the horrific earthquake in 1972. From the stunning volcanic summits to the poverty of a home made of branches and black plastic tarp. I am grateful that Wisconsin Nicaraguan Partners have provided me the opportunity to be a part of the organization to help the wonderful people of Nicaragua.
As a board member of another non-profit working in Nicaragua, it is impossible to express the help we have received from W/NP. Amy and the staff here and in Nicaragua go the extra mile to help whenever needed. I enjoy the dedicated volunteers when I am able to make one of the packing or shipping days. I have seen first hand the work done by W/NP and its volunteers in Nicaragua and it is truly amazing. These people are all in great shape because "There is no exercise better than reaching down and lifting people up." and that is what this group does best.

I have worked with the Firefighter United Program of Wisconsin Nicaragua Partners for 15 years. Over that time we have sent 30 fire trucks and 13 ambulances to Nicaragua. This has very much assisted the emergency services in Nicaragua.

One of the exciting ongoing programs of the Wisconsin Nicaragua Partners is Firefighters United. Several Nicaraguan firefighters have visited Wisconsin and we would like to start firefighter tours to help Wisconsin firefighters visit Nicaragua. Through this program, since 2000, 24 firetrucks and 12 ambulances have been shipped to Nicaragua. Hundreds of sets of firefighting coats, pants, boots, helmets along with hose, breathing apparatus and other eqipment have been donated by fire departments in Wisconsin. As a volunteer firefighter it is rewarding to see this equipment being used in Nicaragua and to watch as new stations are started across the country.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I am originally from Estelí, Nicaragua and in my desire to help my own community, El Regadio in Estelí, I started collecting from my friends in Madison WI, toys and Schools supplies to send to the kids from kindergarten (Escuela Ruben Dario, Comunidad El Regadio, Esteli). This has been a dream and a project which is shared with my sister Elizabeth who used to teach there for many years but had to retire due to her illness (cancer). To my surprise I was able to find very close to me this wonderful organization that made very easy for my sister and me to accomplish our dream. This organization believes that helping Nicaraguans and their communities is the best way to improve people`s lives in the world. This was translated throughout the treatment I received as soon as I met Amy W. and Bob B. They were loving and caring, their actions with me show truth appreciation to the cause they are working for and match really well my passion and desire to help a small school that is very dear to me and my sister`s heart. I would fully trust and recommend this organization to anyone and I send my special thanks to everyone that works and volunteers for this organization.
Thank you WNP - Reyna Jarquin

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I have been involved with Wisconsin Nicaragua Partners for quite some time. I worked with the Rotary Club of Stevens Point on a very successful preschool remodeling in 2008-2009, but was unable to travel there until 2013. I returned again this spring for my 2nd Learning Center Trek. I am very impressed with coordination, cooperation and the friendly emphasis on people to people exchange. The trip is in part volunteering--teaching a skill at a gathering in three different Learning Centers, part touring, but very up close and personal that does not happen on "vacation" travel. Many people have commented on the professionalism of the staff and the proven track record of the organization. All those things are very true, but what has impressed me is the willingness of many, many Nicaraguans to help out their community members. The Burn Dressing program is an outstanding example of this. Volunteers fixing machines, sewing the precise very necessary dressings and expanding to meet community needs along with a committed doctor who oversees this program and speaks glowingly about the service for his patients. While there, we heard from a young woman who very bravely shared her story. This is truly an organization that encourages involvement on whatever level you are interested or able and accomplishes amazing small and major projects. It is an outstanding example of Wisconsinites and Nicaraguans connecting in meaningful ways to make all of our lives better.

I am involved with W/NP behind the scenes with technology. As a student volunteer, I see nothing but hard work and effort coming from the offices of W/NP. The full time staff are passionate about helping others and they work together to get work done. I wish I could do more, but I feel I have done my part by keeping the website up to date and volunteering at a few events. I am honored to continue to work for this amazing organization and I look forward to what my remaining years in Stevens Point brings.

Magisto Unveils "Magisto Exhibit" Series, Uses A.I. To Make Films From Famous Photos; First Exhibit Documents Three Generations Of American Rock
Work by Photographer Jay Blakesberg Showcased during SXSW Music Festival; Features Levon Helm, My Morning Jacket, Jane's Addiction, Wilco, and Others
PR Newswire
AUSTIN, Texas, March 14, 2014
AUSTIN, Texas, March 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SXSW -- Magisto, the cloud-based mobile video platform, is unveiling next week during the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas a concept called the Magisto Exhibit, a new medium that uses artificial intelligence to fuse iconic, critically acclaimed photography with music and transform both into a new artistic presentation.
The first Magisto Exhibit will feature photos from renowned rock music photographer Jay Blakesberg and offers a series of short movies composed from his photographs of artists like Levon Helm, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, Jane's Addiction and the Grateful Dead, as well as numerous other musicians like Chris Robinson, Neil Young and others, combined with their music and music from other related bands.
The result is a new presentation of Blakesberg's photography that chronicles three generations of American rock and demonstrates the power of the Magisto's artificial intelligence engine to create an emotional and moving narrative.
"Video, photography and music have long been classic and celebrated art forms, but Magisto set out to see what happens when they're combined with artificial intelligence to bring stories to life in a new way," said Reid Genauer, CMO of Magisto and a 20-year veteran of the popular touring bands Strangefolk and Assembly of Dust. "Technology and art have a tremendous ability to impact one another, and the Jay Blakesberg Magisto Exhibit gives us the perfect opportunity to showcase how versatile artistic expression becomes when you find the intersection between the two."
The Blakesberg Magisto Exhibit is the first in a planned series of projects. Subjects of future exhibits will include noted photographers in sports, portraiture and nature subjects, although no other specific exhibits have been announced.
"My life's work has been to document the rock and roll experience, onstage and off. This is pop culture history…visual anthropology", said Mr. Blakesberg. "I have always approached my photography as a way to tell a story, and for me, this has never been with a single photo, but a series of photos. Magisto's A.I. has given me a new way to put a series of images together to help tell that story. Photography has always been a technology based art, and now more then ever we have new opportunities to merge the two easily and share."
Jay Blakesberg is a San Francisco-based rock and roll photographer and film maker, whose work appears regularly in numerous publications, Over the last 25 years Blakesberg's photography has been included in over 200 CD jackets and he has also published seven coffee table books of his photography.
The Jay Blakesberg Exhibit will be first shown during the SXSW Music Festival, at a temporary installation on Friday March 14 from 2 pm to 5:30 pm at Lucille, 77 Rainey Street

Magisto recently announced that it had surpassed 20 million registered users, acquiring users at a staggering rate of two million per month. The company has more than doubled its registered users since September 2013, and users are uploading 29 million videos and photos per month. Interestingly, 20 percent of these movies are made up of photos only, taking advantage of the recently launched "photos-only" feature.
About Magisto
Driven by artificial intelligence and simple user experience, Magisto is a cloud-based mobile technology service for creating and sharing beautiful quality personal movies. It automatically selects the most compelling moments from ordinary videos and photos and, like an expert video editor, weaves them together to convey a story with customized styles and music. Magisto is used by millions of customers and can be accessed across iOS, Android and the Web, and is the highest-rated video creation app in the Google Play and iOS App Stores.
More information is available at http://www.magisto.com/about and http://www.magisto.com/how-it-works.
The company is funded by Horizons Ventures, Magma Venture Partner, Qualcomm Incorporated, through its venture capital arm, Qualcomm Ventures, and SanDisk Ventures. The company maintains its headquarters in Tel Aviv, Israel with offices in New York and California.

HBS Analyzer is a methylation calling tool for hairpin-bisulfite sequencing data. HBS Analyzer can accept raw hairpin-bisulfite sequencing data in FASTA or FASTQ format, align the paired end reads to the reference genome and call methylation. Given the double stranded nature of the data that is used, HBS analyzer can identify errors caused by PCR and sequencing along with identifying hemi-methylated sites. This error information is also considered while making the methylation call and hence methylation sites introduced by SNPs are also identified along with the known methylation sites in the genome.
- Pre Processor included for necessary quality trimming and adaptor filtering
- HBS Mapper for aligning hairpin bisulfite sequencing data
- Methylation Extractor for retrieving the methylation status of cytosines
- Methylation Fidelity script for calculating methylation level and fidelity

35 at Guantanamo could face trials
Published: Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 22, 2010 at 6:34 p.m.
WASHINGTON - At least 80 Guantanamo detainees would be brought to the United States to face trial, military commissions or continued imprisonment without charge, under recommendations from a presidential task force, two government officials said Friday.
The two officials said that a task force has recommended 35 Guantanamo Bay detainees for prosecution, either in civilian or military court settings. Attorney General Eric Holder has already decided that five of those will be tried in New York federal court for their alleged roles in the 2001 terror attacks.
Another six have been chosen to face military commissions. A venue for those commissions has not been decided yet, but the most likely place is a planned prison facility in Illinois to house terrorism-era detainees. The Obama administration still needs money from Congress to renovate that facility.

WASHINGTON -- Joe Johnson sank the game-winning jumper with 0.7 seconds remaining in double-overtime, and Brook Lopez had 27 points and 13 rebounds as the Brooklyn Nets survived for a wild 115-113 win over the Washington Wizards on Friday. After the Wizards drained final-second shots to force both overtime sessions, Johnson returned the favor with a deep bomb from the right wing after Bradley Beal's free throws tied the game with 9.1 seconds remaining. Deron Williams finished with 24 points and 10 assists for the Nets (18-15). Brooklyn trailed after each of the first three quarters, but held leads with less than four seconds in both regulation and overtime only to see the Wizards (4-27), owners of the NBA's worst record, twice comeup clutch. Nene's running hook with 0.8 left in regulation forced the first overtime and Beal's buzzer-beating 3-pointer sent the game into a second extra session. Beal's heroics came after the Nets pulled ahead 104-101 with 3.4 seconds remaining f...

OKC Thunder: Perry Jones III says he's in 'perfect spot', knee is a nonissue
You'd have a hard time questioning anything else about Jones.
Highlight reels show the 6-11 forward doing things young men his size shouldn't be able to do. He dribbles like a guard, runs like a deer and jumps like he's got pogo sticks for legs.
But in his first public appearance in his new host city, Jones didn't try to win over the crowd by making claims about how his world-class athleticism would help the Thunder win games. Instead, he turned heads by talking about how hard he was willing to work to fit in.
"The hardest part is playing to the level of intensity that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook set," Jones said. "They set a standard for working hard here. Definitely living up to their standard, you've got to be able to bring it every day. So just be in the gym a lot to try to stay up to par with them. Hopefully, I can help the team in any way shape or form."
When peppered with questions about the lack of assertiveness he showed on the court in college, Jones simply turned the page and attempted to move past that chapter of his career by focusing on how he can improve now.
"I think I've got to play smart," Jones said. "Definitely learn from the veterans. This is a time for me to learn, and I know these guys are going to help me be the best player (I can be) and use my assertiveness to the best of my abilities."
Above all, Jones came off as appreciative.
He thanked everyone from his mother, Terri, to the fans in attendance at his news conference, to the Thunder organization for giving him an opportunity.
At times, Jones sounded like he was still in college, about to get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play pickup with his favorite players.
"My favorite part about the Thunder is they have fun but they play hard," Jones said. "I think they're the most exciting team to watch. I'll pick their game over any other game any day."
Asked how he could come in and contribute, Jones responded as if he was in awe of the roster.
"That's hard to say right now," he said, "because the Thunder has everything."
It's as if this goose doesn't get that he's golden.
"He's very humble," explained Jones' agent, Bill Duffy. "He's had some challenging circumstances in his upbringing, so I don't think he takes anything for granted.
"He's just a really good person, and he's one who's going to definitely acclimate well to the organization and the culture here. In my mind, this is the perfect fit."

Life is dangerous....realistically you need a full suit of armor just to get out of bed in the morning.
I think it's great that you make your young daughter wear one and I think it's great if an adult chooses to wear one. That's their choice. And I would never give them a hard time about wearing one. But my choice is to let the wind blow through my hair.
Happiness isOwning andRidingSomthingExtraordinary
As someone who would probably be dead without a helmet, and the parent of a small girl (on a big horse), there's no question that helmets are used 100% of the time.
While I think it's exceedingly foolish to ride without one, if an adult chooses not to, I think it's their problem. I'd like to see it mandatory for kids under 18 though.
I'm in NH. Here motorcycle laws also don't force riders to wear helmets. I know someone who works in a neuro ICU as a transplant coordinator. They call them "donor-cycles" there. But interestingly enough, kids under 16 must wear bike helmets, or their parents get fined. I wouldn't mind if the same laws were applied to horses.
To me, riding without a helmet is the equivalent of driving without a seatbelt. I would never do it... I have though. I have sat on a horse I trusted and walked around bareback, but nothing more.
The risk is greater than the pros.
Were all in the same game, just different levels; living the same h.e.l.l, just different devils.
Wonder what the percentage of helmet riders is English compared to Western?
Unless I'm forced to, I normally don't wear one. I've been riding my horse for almost two years now, and around home, it's extremely unlikely she's going to do anything. I've ridden down the road and on the trails without one, but if we ever went anywhere (like a show or fair) I'd for sure wear one. In a new environment, you're never quite sure what can happen. I have to wear one when I take lessons as well. On any other horse besides my own, I would put on a helmet (at least until I spent a year or two with them and really know what they are capable of), but I don't, and I think it's my own business. This is a topic that will be argued over until the end of time.

I'll wear one depending on the horse and the situation. I don't usually wear one with my mare but I will with my other two as they are in training. It also depends on what I'm doing, if I go outside of the arena, yes, I wear a helmet. If I jump, I wear a helmet, new area= helmet.
It just depends on the situation and horse. But I will say that when I was a minor, I wore a helmet no matter what.
I have always ridden with a helmet.
Had a good friend I used to ride with when I was about 12, she was much older than me (40's, maybe a little older, I don't remember). Her horse was a good dependable one, but one day when we were out riding her horse tripped while we were cantering, and rolled over her twice. My good friend was unconscious on the ground (later went to the hospital and was there 2 weeks for a concussion), and my 10 year old sister and I were left there with her to handle the situation ourselves. Scary, scary situation. Ever since then she has worn a helmet...anyone who doesn't needs to seriously reconsider wearing one. Your horse may be 'safe', but he/she can still trip and fall, run you under a tree, another horse could kick you while riding...the list goes on.
The only time I wore a helmet was for 4H, now I don't ever use a helmet. I'm also old enough to make that decision for myself.

Howard Vroman, 68, has lived in Ferndale his whole life, as did his parents and grandparents, so Ferndale's Old Settlers Picnic has been a family tradition.
The event takes place Thursday through Sunday, July 24-27, at Pioneer Park and in downtown Ferndale.
"I know that my Grandpa Vroman did not like to miss any of the picnics," he says. "It was the only celebration around. Before the Northwest Washington Fair, before Blossom Time, and all the other local celebrations."
Vroman, a member of Old Settlers Association, says the celebration began in 1895, with the first one held at Birch Bay, hence the event name "picnic."
It was intended as a get-together for the first county settlers.
"I have been told that as it grew the whole county 'shut down' to attend," Vroman says, so cow-milking got done early.
The picnic was intended as a county celebration, and it still is, he says, even though each town in Whatcom County has its own community festival.
What makes the Old Settlers Picnic unique are the tours of the 15 log cabins at Pioneer Park, still the main attraction, as it should be, since they are a big part of Whatcom history, Vroman says.
Jon Mutchler, a Ferndale City Council member, local pastor and an Old Settlers trustee, says the association takes on the responsibility and care of the picnic and the grand parade, and, along with Ferndale Heritage Society, maintain the cabins, which were once owned by the Old Settlers but gifted to the city in 1972.
Kimberlee Cruz has been a trustee with Old Settlers for three months but has volunteered the past three years. She joined the association to share her love of old times with her kids, the same way her great-grandparents, grandparents and mother did with her.
Cruz says the cabins are in their original state from the late 1800s to early 1900s. The cabins also have period decorations for visitors to get an idea of how people lived and worked in the old days.
She adds that from the original picnic in Birch Bay, the event took shape from the Grange movement, revival meetings, church socials and county fairs to evolve into what's now a four-day festival.
Cruz says some attractions new this year include a kids' karaoke contest Friday afternoon, and ZigZag and Ragz Z Clowns on Friday and Saturday.
Other highlights include a cancer benefit with music by the Atlantics on Thursday, a kids' parade Friday, a 5K fun run/2-mile walk and the grand parade on Saturday, and "Pops in the Park" with Whatcom Symphony Orchestra on Sunday.
"Even for people not from this area, it still gives a good view of the life people lived here in Whatcom County before the 1900s," Vroman says "It is still good for all of us to get a view of our heritage and how our grandparents and great-grand parents lived, as it is impossible to put a log cabin in our backyard."
When: Thursday through Sunday, July 24-27.
Where: Pioneer Park, 2004 Cherry St., Ferndale.

I have a UIView which I set to be my tableView's tableHeaderView using storyboard.
I give this UIView a shadow with the following code during viewDidLoad:
_viewHeaderInfo.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
_viewHeaderInfo.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 2);
_viewHeaderInfo.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5;
When I run it in the iPhone 6.0 simulator the shadow shows. When I run it in the iPhone 5.1 simulator the shadow does not show.
Is this not the way to show a shadow? Should I do it differently? Thanks in advance!
Additional info:
I have some code to hide/show the view using animation on certain user actions. When showing the view (after hiding it first) I noticed that the shadow is showing for as long the animation is running. At the end of the animation the shadow disappears again. This is the animation code for showing the view:
// Get references //
CGFloat h = _viewHeaderInfo.bounds.size.height;
UITableView *tv = self.tableView;
// Move the frame of the View UP by changing the .y value //
_viewHeaderInfo.frame = CGRectMake(0, -h, tv.frame.size.width, h);
// Start animation: adding the View to .tableHeaderView resets the View.frame.y to 0 //
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
[tv scrollToRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0] atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop animated:NO];
tv.tableHeaderView = _viewHeaderInfo;

Why some videos play fine on Android like this one:
While with others I get this message:
"The video cannot be played with your current setup.
Please switch to a browser that provides native H.264 support or install Adobe Flash Player.
Also, some other videos, like this for example:
is launched (and successfully plays) in android WebView. How are you making this iframe embed play in WebView?
So if I visit this link (vimeo.com/37077712) on my Android, it plays fine in WebView, but if I construct iframe embed with this video ID, then I get this message above: "The video cannot be played with your current setup....."

Originally written on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 12/7/12
How dare those Patriots. Running a successful play, trying it again and succeeding with it over and over against a team that couldn't just defend it. What did they think it was, a football game or something? Apparently, some Miami Dolphins players complained, calling it "disrespectful." Really. A Patriots' fourth quarter clock-killing drive consisted of 16 plays, 13 of them running plays, with 6 of them through the same hole... that the Dolphins defense couldn't stop. So basically we have a few Dolphins (and grown men mind you) crying "hey, stop doing that, we can't stop you, quit it, no fair". We're surprised someone didn't take the game ball and go home. DT Tony McDaniel said "It really [ticked] me off... It was disrespectful to us to run the same play over and over and be successful", he said, via Brian Briggane of the Palm Beach Post. (H/T PFT) "Normally when somebody's driving down the field you just think, 'Well, they just had a good run there,' but you run the same play over and over, as a competitor that [ticks] me off." Embarrassing to say the least. I would've went the 'anonymous player' route on that quote. "It is disrespectful, but you've got to stop it," Randy Starks said, who's the guy with maybe half of a voice of reason here. "We never stopped it, so I'd keep running the same play, too." Exactly. You don't like it, then stop it.

Cancer InDepth: Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a relatively rare cancer of the plasma cells. Plasma cells normally produce proteins, or antibodies, to help the immune system fight infection. Myeloma occurs when the body produces too many abnormal plasma cells, which are called myeloma cells. These extra myeloma cells produce excess proteins in the blood. This can cause health problems. Myeloma cells also collect and grow in the bone marrow, the soft interior of the bone. This often results in decreased production of blood cells. The types of blood cells include:
- Red blood cells—carry oxygen to the body
- White blood cells—help fight off infection
- Platelets—help the blood to clot
CausesThe cause of multiple myeloma is not known. Doctors think exposure to toxins, radiation, or a virus may play a role. Inherited gene mutations may also lead to multiple myeloma. In nearly all cases, doctors have no idea why a particular person develops the disease.According to the American Cancer Society, about 20,580 Americans are diagnosed with multiple myeloma each year. Slightly more men than women are affected. And 10,580 people with the disease die from it annually. Multiple myeloma affects older adults. The average age of people with this disease is 65 years. It is uncommon for myeloma to occur in people younger than 35.
SymptomsSymptoms of early stage multiple myeloma include:
- Persistent bone pain, often severe—Pain is most commonly in the back. But, it can also be in the limbs or ribs.
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Broken bones
- Repeated infections
- Nausea and vomiting
- Constipation
- Difficulty urinating
- Abnormal bleeding
- Headache
- Visual problems
- Confusion
ComplicationsComplications of multiple myeloma typically relate to problems with blood function. These complications include the following:
- Anemia —This is characterized by a lack of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the body's cells. Anemia causes fatigue because the cells do not receive enough oxygen. It can also aggravate a heart condition in a person with angina or other heart disease, in which the heart is already suffering from insufficient blood supply. The additional lack of oxygen in the blood from anemia compounds the problem.
- Increased risk of infection—Because there are not enough white cells to fight bacteria, viruses, and other microbes, infection is more likely.
- Easy bleeding—Decreased production of platelets impairs blood-clotting ability. This leads to bleeding easily and for a long time.

Science Photo Library was founded in 1981 by Michael Marten, one of the authors of "Worlds Within Worlds", a book exploring different ways to observe the universe - from electron micrographs, to images of earthrise taken from the Apollo spacecraft. When Marten started receiving requests for the beautiful images in the book, he had an idea of setting up Science Photo Library. Since then, Science Photo Library has continued to work alongside world acclaimed photographers and the leading science and medical experts to provide a central source of the best science and specialist imagery available. Although the collection started with scientific images, it has grown to encompass all aspects of science and their impact on everyday life.
