After a terrifying few hours getting out of a terrible reservation nearby, the Embassy Suites was just the remedy we needed. The hotel was working through an exceedingly busy New Years Eve and still managed to present us with professionalism and service. We painlessly reserved a room online before getting to the hotel; upon arrival we found a long line at the reception desk, but three clerks working to check-in guests and another talking to guests in line made the wait bearable. The lone hiccup in our stay, an extended wait for room availability, resulted in fantastic compensation from the staff. Our room was upgraded at no extra charge because the room we reserved was not available, we were given free parking for the duration of our stay, and free appetizers and gift cards to the hotel restaurant. The room was not brand new, but was large, comfortable, and very clean. The towels and linens were clean, inviting, and nicely arranged. The in-room amenities -a full-size hair dryer, coffee maker, glass cups, microwave, bar sink, fridge/freezer combo- were perfect for our needs.
The hotel amenities, including a two-hour managers reception (free alcohol!), a lavish continental breakfast with an omelet chef and enough duplication of food stations to serve the large hotel, were made more enjoyable by the very pleasant environment of the indoor courtyard, complete with bridged coy pond, and waterfall. The hotel restaurant was mid-upper range financially, but met expectations with food and service quality. The jacuzzi and pool were warm, clean, and enjoyable, and the staff was non-intrusive when we wanted to smoke or enjoy some drinks out at the pool.
The staff, particularly Leo at the front desk, went well above and beyond expectations to make this one of the most memorable, and most comfortable hotel stay I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. If you're in Miami and you're not paying to stay at the beach, stay at this Embassy Suites.

Booty Call: CBS' 'Pirate' Sets Sail in May
On "Pirate Master," 16 contestants will live aboard a 179-food, square-rigged barque. Over the course of 33 days, they'll live as buccaneers, traveling around a Caribbean island in search of a treasure totaling $1 million. Each episode will find the contestants gathering at Pirate's Court, where they'll state their case and somebody will be cut adrift.
"'Pirate Master' breaks new ground in that it's the collision of fantasy and reality," Burnett says. "This is a show where, in true pirate fashion, anything can happen with a group of people that live by their own set of rules and usually break them. It's adventure, excitement and loads of treasure. Anyone who ever wanted to be a pirate will love this show!"
The winner will be the first contestant to find the largest booty, a treasure worth $500,000.
With all of this emphasis on big booty, one might guess

ok, I understand the "virtual" concept, thanks prplxd. But if you put "virtual 0 0" does it means that it takes the addition of the two values of your metamodes : 2048=1024+1024+0 and 768=768+0?
Other question : do you know if it's possible to have a different virtual screen for each mode of my "Metamodes".
I explain :
in my Device section, I put this line :
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768;1024x768,NULL"
doing like this, I have twinview whis the first Metamode and I switch on the second metamode (with Ctrl-Alt-+) to have only one active monitor, for example to play games (on the dual screen, the games were centered on the two monitors, so it was impossible to play).
but the problem is that on this mode I have a 2048x768 screen on one monitor. (in fact, when I put the cursor of my mouse on the right of my monitor, the screen scrolls until 2048 <--scuse me but I haven't the good words to explain this in english ;-)
So, I wonder how to configure that : maybe having in the screen section a line "Virtual 0 0" corresponding to the first metamode and a line "Virtual 1024 768" corresponding to the second metamode...but I tried in vain.
It's a big problem because some games like frozen bubble are not in full screen even if I put the full screen mode...
Does someone know how to do that?
I was wrong about the "virtual" aspect of the settings.
If you don't want 2048x768 when you just use one monitor, just comment out "virtual" and "viewport".
That is why when you move your mouse to the right, (or left), your screen moves.
Hopefully, this will work for you?
I don't know about the gaming issue; I'm not a gamer.
Sorry if I am not much help.

Parasites have been around for more than 270 million years. Around 25 million years ago, lice joined the blood-sucking party and invaded the hair of ancient primates. When the first members of Homo arrived on the scene around 2.5 million years ago, lice took advantage of the new great ape on the block for better satisfying its digestive needs. As a new genetic analysis published today in PLoS One shows, mining these parasites genomes can lend clues for understanding the migration patterns of these early humans.

NEW YORK (AP) - Passing another milestone on the nation's long journey back from the Great Recession, the Standard and Poor's 500 index closed above 1,500 for the first time in more than five years Friday after a wave of good earnings reports.
NEW YORK (AP) - The 787 Dreamliner was born in a moment of desperation.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Employers are laying off fewer workers, a trend that normally suggests hiring is picking up. The January jobs report next week will show whether employers have begun to hire more freely or are still waiting for the economy to strengthen.
NEW YORK (AP) - A new strain of stomach bug sweeping the globe is taking over in the U.S., health officials say.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Samsung Electronics Co. reported Friday forecast-beating results for the fourth quarter of 2012 as profit from its mobile business more than doubled from a year earlier.
NEW YORK (AP) - Apple needs to start making nice with Wall Street, analysts said Thursday as investors hammered the company's stock.
WAHSINGTON, D.C. (AP) - President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law has spawned its own jargon. With the law finally about to take full effect, consumers might want to get familiar with some of the terms:
NEW YORK (AP) - Americans still need their Starbucks fix even in the weak economy.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Microsoft's latest quarterly earnings slipped, even as the world's largest software maker showed modest progress adapting to a shift away from the personal computers that have been its financial foundation for decades.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) - Health insurance exchanges will change the way people buy coverage and will help millions of uninsured people get a private plan. Nearly 49 million people are uninsured in the United States, but the numbers vary dramatically by state.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Netflix's rollercoaster ride on Wall Street surged to new heights Thursday.
NEW YORK (AP) - The launch of the iPhone 5 helped AT&T attract more new customers in the holiday quarter than it has in three years, but the company posted a big loss because of an annual adjustment to its pension obligations.
NEW YORK (AP) - Strong earnings from tech giants nudged the stock market to a five-year high Wednesday. Investors drew encouragement from a vote by the House of Representatives to let the government keep paying all of its bills for another four months.
NEW YORK (AP) - McDonald's used the Dollar Menu to help lift its profit in the latest quarter. Now the world's biggest hamburger chain is turning to a pipeline of new menu items to boost slumping sales, starting with "Fish McBites."
NEW YORK (AP) - The city defended its groundbreaking size limit on sugary drinks Wednesday as an imperfect but meaningful rein on obesity, while critics said it would hurt small and minority-owned businesses while doing little to help health.

NEW YORK (AP) - Imagine a fitting room with a "smart" mirror that suggests jeans to go with the red shirt you brought in. It snaps a video so you can compare the image side-by-side with other colorful shirts you try on. It might even show you how the shirt will fit without you having to undress.
NEW YORK (AP) - Olive Garden's plan to win back customers? Take the breadsticks it's known for and make sandwiches out of them.

Tyson posts record 2nd-quarter profit
Posted: May 5, 2014 at 7:07 a.m.
Springdale-based Tyson Foods Inc. on Monday reported second-quarter net income of $213 million, up 124 percent from the $95 million in earnings reported this time last year.
Adjusted earnings per share from operations attributable to Tyson came to 60 cents, up 58 percent from 38 cents in the second-quarter 2013, as sales rose to $9.03 billion, up 7.7 percent from $8.38 billion the year before.
"We had a record second quarter, which is a testament to our great team and our balanced multi-protein, multi-channel, multi-national business model," Tyson Foods President and CEO Donnie Smith said in a statement. "Our second quarter is usually our most challenging. We had a lot to overcome, including a harsher than normal winter, but I'm satisfied with the results.
"I'm still confident in my expectations for the year that we will achieve our goal of 6-8% sales growth in value-added products while generating at least $2.78 earnings per share," he added.
The full earnings report is available here.
Tyson executives will hold a conference call at 8 a.m. to discuss the results. Those interested may listen in live by calling (888) 455-8283. A telephone replay will be available until May 30 by calling (800) 879-6115, the company said. The webcast will also be available at http://ir.tyson.com.

We stayed for nearly 3 weeks and had a fantastic time. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Our room was wonderful. Very large double room with a king size bed and ensuite facilities. The owner was around every weekend and made us feel very welcome and at home. We both had a great time and will definitely come again!

Gear Question
Louise Cantin
The Bhutan and the Kailish seem to be the...
The Bhutan and the Kailish seem to be the same boot other than the Bhutan is all leather. However the reviews are extremely favourable for the Kailash but not so for the Bhutan. Living in Nothern Ontario, the full leather is of interest. Is it as comfortable as the Kailish^
I know this is OLD and perhaps you've found your answer already. I tried both Kailish and Bhutan at some point a couple of years back. Kailish is "softer" initially (therefore more comfortable) however Bhutan has more support around the ankles. I ended up returning both and got Lowa Banff Pro instead as I was doing more "serious" winter climbing and have been happy with my choice. However if you worry about the cold, then you might want to consider insulated winter boots such as Lowa Baikal as it was VERY warm however I also returned that because I didn't like the "high cut" (Banff Pro is not insulated, all leather and less warm but with a thick pair of SmartWool socks I find it warm enough for Northern Quebec and the Adirondack mountains).
Debbie C
How did the boots hold up; comfort, etc. a year later?
Depending on how much you hike, they should last awhile. I have worn various Scarpas for years, as they fit my foot well.
I would give these boots a 5 year lifetime. I'm on my 3rd pair of them!

How can I make iptables NAT all packets, except those, that have a target address from 192.168.254.0/24 subnet?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
If I understand you well, this should be fairly easy using the option
Of course, you can change the rule according to your needs. This changes the source IP of all packets destined to any destination except the indicated subnet.
In my opinion following order of iptables commands would work:
rule 1 will match your network and won't MASQUERADE it rule 2 will masquerade all but generally it's not good idea to give 0.0.0.0 wildcard (I'm not even sure if it will work). You should selectively add all networks that you want to masquerade and rest just won't be masqueraded.

Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Larry Bonds
From BoxRec
1981-03-28 : Sugar Ray Leonard 145 lbs beat Larry Bonds 144½ lbs by TKO at 2:22 in round 10 of 15
- Location: Carrier Dome, Syracuse, New York, USA
- Referee: Arthur Mercante
- Judge: Carol Castellano 88-85
- Judge: Harold Lederman 90-80
- Judge: Vincent Rainone 90-80
- WBC Welterweight Champinship (1st defense of 2nd reign by Leonard)
- Photo 1, Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4
- Fight Poster
- The credentials of Bonds, ranked sixth at welterweight by the World Boxing Council, were questioned by some. "We wanted to fight Clint Jackson, which would be a better fight, but he isn't ranked," said Mike Trainer, Leonard's attorney. "And the WBC says a champion has to fight every four months against a rated fighter."
- The WBC's top five welterweight contenders were Wilfred Benitez, Pipino Cuevas, Alfredo Lucero, Randy Shields and Joergen Hansen. Benitez, Lucero and Shields turned down offers. Hansen, at age 38, was considered too old to be credible, and Trainer was saving Cuevas as a fall alternative. Finally, a call was made to Bobby Lewis, one of Bonds' co-managers.
- Bonds said, "My manager called me March 2. I was at home shooting eight-ball pool with my wife, Gloria. I didn't get too excited . . . although I did lose the game to her."
- Leonard's purse was $750,000, and Bonds got $100,000. Prior to fighting Leonard, Bonds' biggest purse was $1,500.
- When Leonard fought Bonds, he was already signed to challenge WBA Junior Middleweight Champion Ayub Kalule on June 25, 1981. Since both Bonds and Kalule were southpaws, the Bonds fight was viewed as a tune-up for Leonard.
- Leonard had fought southpaws only twice as a professional: In 1979, he outpointed Adolfo Viruet over ten rounds and stopped Tony Chiaverini in four rounds.
- The fight was promoted by the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce.
- Tickets were priced from $60 for ringside seats down to $10.
- The fight was televised live on HBO.
- More than 21,000 fans attended the fight.
- Leonard was the aggressor against the slick boxing southpaw. "I saw early there wasn't any use dancing with him," Leonard said after the bout. "Then we'd both be dancing and nobody would be punching much. To stop him I had to be a bully."
- Leonard floored Bonds once in round four and once in round ten.

Tianjin Pipe Co. turns dirt on Gregory steel mill project
GREGORY - What matters isn't just the 252 acres where Tianjin Pipe Co. officials broke ground for their $1 billion pipe plant, area leaders said.
It's the new water meters, refurbished streets and new restaurants and businesses the facility will bring to Gregory and the hundreds of jobs and estimated $2.7 billion economic impact for the Coastal Bend.
Friday's ceremonial dirt-turning officially launched Tianjin's Texas Mill Project, followed by a rousing chorus of support from local officials and legislators, Texas Secretary of State Hope Andrade, Chinese Consul General Xu Erwen and company president Li Qiang at a crowded Gregory-Portland Junior High School auditorium.
The development puts the town of 1,700 at the epicenter of new economic activity just as Elvia and Gilbert Hernandez put the finishing touches on their El Asador Mexican restaurant, bar and grill. It will open on U.S. Highway 181 next week as part of the beginning of a wave of economic progress leaders say is washing into town.
"It's the perfect little town," Elvia Hernandez said. "It's got potential. We've just got to give it a chance."
That chance has come, many believe. The pipe mill — run by Tianjin's subsidiary TPCO America — is considered the largest single investment by a Chinese company in an American manufacturing facility.
The capital will generate up to 2,000 jobs during construction, 300 jobs in its first year with at least 300 more in following years.
Construction will take about 34 months, with preliminary work coming as soon as Monday, company vice president Zhang Wenfeng said.
Construction and operation will generate a $2.7 billion boost to the local economy in the first decade, TPCO estimates show.
The 1.6-million-square-foot facility will meld scrap steel and pig iron into 500,000 metric tons of seamless pipe annually for the oil and gas industry.
The project site at State Highways 35 and 361 beat out 70 others across the country.
U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Corpus Christi, called it an example of cooperation between government and industry.
Other leaders attributed the project's success to pooling local resources for the Coastal Bend's benefit.
"If you want to talk regionalism, this is how it's done," San Patricio County Judge Terry Simpson said, also addressing area taxpayers. "This is your success along with ours."
For Gregory, it's a welcome new industrial neighbor. The city is continuing efforts to accommodate the influx of workers and possible growth.
New housing is one of the benefits for Gregory, Mayor Victor Lara said.
Infrastructure improvements are months away. The city recently closed on $3 million in certificates of obligation, which will pay for street improvements, and water meter upgrades.
The money also will provide the $500,000 match for a $1 million U.S. Economic Development Administration grant to extend water lines and modify the city's wastewater treatment system, city consultant administrator John Valls said.
The agency will present the grant to city officials next week.
The city also is passing ordinances for issues such as overweight trucks. New restaurants are being considered, Valls said.
Gregory also is assembling its 4B economic development board to market and promote the city through increased revenues from a voter-approved sales tax increase, Lara said.

Thanks for the input ladies! Looks like the odds are pretty even in the poll right now. We are trying to decide if I should start clomid right away or try on my own for a few months first.
3 years TTC #3 with Endo - lap 11-12, 4 unsuccessful rounds of Clomid, 3 unsuccessful rounds of follistim/IUI
Julie (34), Chris (34), Noah (10), Hannah (8) & Angel Baby (5/28/08)...TTC another for over 5 yrs... Lap 9/16/11 confirmed Stage 2 Endo
Good luck!

3 months on the dot pretty much. Had the surgery October 14, 2011 and got a BFP January 20, 2012.
Of course I had other issues... at 30 weeks 4 days, I had to deliver him because I had an infection. After two weeks they found out why. The endo that my OB left on my colon tore a hole through it, leaking infection into my abdomen. Causing excrutiating pain and air pockets and a collapsed lung. It was a mess.
This was a rare, rare situation though. I'm sure you'll be much more lucky lol

Respond to Review of Terre a Terre
by Gothic Princess
Review: I'm a regular visitor to Terre. Food is always great. Ok they don't change the favourites on the menu very often hut as it's soo good I don't mind. However last visit their device was bizarre - bordering on the Fawlty Towers school of service. Basil would be proud! We have previously ordered a Terre tapas for three ( normally served for two) and got a portion three could share. So we asked for this again but only a portion for two came up with three plates. No problem we thought as the server was friendly so we called them over and explained. This was where it went surreal. We were told by several members of staff who all saw it fit to come and strongly and very rudely tell us that they had never ever served it for three and could we tell them who it was as they got their job wrong and words were needed! I've never ever had any restaurant before (a) refuse to do a bigger sharing plate for extra cost and (b) tell us off for asking for it!!! At Terre the customer is not always right! They had no idea we were regulars. If we weren't it was so bad it would have put us off. Firstly we can't understand their strong and rude objections as we made it clear we expected to pay more for the extra, secondly they could have put portions for three on the plate ( yes it would fit), thirdly they did not need to be so rude or send so many staff members to come and tell us off! Now we are not wallflowers so we told them they wee being silly and we wanted to pay extra for any extra portions for the third person that they could provide. To their credit they did then give a few more nibbles for free but after being told off by three different members of staff ( and they were very loud about it) it was the least they could do. We saw the funny side but other dinners may not have done. Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that every table had a reward offered for anyone who recommended a chef. There clearly is trouble in the kitchen which means they can't load a plate with a three person portion or here's a radical idea - put the third person's portion on a smaller separate plate. As for charging for it just charge half of what you charge for two - you guys did it before with no problem!! It won't stop us going back but beware if you complain at Terre over something reasonable expect a comedy sketch response! Can't wait to order the tapas to share for three again! ;0)

"Can't wait to order the tapas to share for three again!"
And you write this enormous review and give it only three stars because they wouldn't make something not on the menu? Really?

Chief Residents 2014-2015
Michael Devitt, M.D.
Meet Michael Devitt
"When I was getting started on my search for a great residency program, I had a few things in mind. First, I was looking for something outside of Indiana. I grew up and went to high school in the small town of Gas City; went to college at the University of Notre Dame, and then stuck around for medical school at Indiana University. I love my home state, and especially my Fighting Irish, but I was ready to see life outside of the Crossroads of America. Next, I wanted to find an academic program with a great track record in the fellowship match. Finally, I was hoping to land in a place that was a little smaller and where the residents were more closely knit than what I had experienced in medical school.
I interviewed up and down the east coast, as my wife Meghan was from the Boston area and hoped to move a little closer to the Atlantic. I was nearing the end of my interview season and was getting a little weary from the interview trail. Most of the programs seemed the same up to that point, and I had yet to find a place to get excited about. That all changed after my interview at UVA. The night before the interview, I found easy conversation with residents who were excited about their program. Everyone I met was collegial and eager to answer questions. I met with faculty members who were down to earth and energetic. After the day was finished and I was packing for my flight home, I knew that I wanted to train at UVA.
Now that I have completed my three years of
residency, I can honestly say that all of the things that drew me here
held true. I work with a fun, intelligent, and friendly group of
residents. Our attending physicians are amicable, easy to work with,
and treat the residents as equals. It has been a great place to learn
the art and science of medicine. I was excited to be offered the
opportunity to stay at UVA for another year as a chief resident. I hope
to continue to foster the tremendous learning that occurs during our
morning reports. I am in awe of the amount of knowledge and quality of
teaching that occurs during this conference. I also hope to find ways
to improve our program as we adapt to the changing environment of
medical education. And I look forward to the opportunity to attend on
our General Medicine wards and work directly with our fantastic
I have been so happy with my time here at UVA and I'm sure that you will find that this is a great place to get your medical training. I'll finish with the added bonus of how wonderful it is to live in Charlottesville. There is something special about living in a college town. In addition to the energy of the vibrant and passionate UVA students and faculty, the city of Charlottesville is home to a fantastic food and arts scene. Put all that in the beautiful setting of the Blue Ridge Mountains and it doesn't get much better!"
Trish Gordon, M.D.
Meet Trish Gordon
"I was drawn to Charlottesville for the reputation for superb internal medicine training and the high caliber of the subspecialty departments. While I've been pleased with my training, the real treat has been getting to know Charlottesville. My favorite part about Charlottesville is the strong community within the city. This is best demonstrated by the free weekly concert in the summer known as "Fridays After Five". Residents from all departments head to the Downtown Mall to relax after a long week. The balloon animals, food trucks, and Star Hill brews make people of all ages happy.
The community connections are present within the hospital as well. When interviewing at UVA, I was struck by the camaraderie among the residents at morning report. Residents are not only up for discussing an interesting case, but also help build morale with midnight "grilled cheese rounds" and morning trips to Higher Grounds. I have found a home at UVA and as chief resident I am excited to help applicants and interns do the same."
Elizabeth McKinney, M.D. firstname.lastname@example.com
Meet Elizabeth McKinney
"Welcome to UVA! When I was on the quest for the
perfect residency program, the thing that really stood out to me was
how happy the residents at UVA are. Of course, residents here
work hard, but the there is a camaraderie that I didn't see anywhere
else. I found that UVA has the whole package: intelligent and
approachable faculty members, a strong emphasis on education, and a
beautiful town nestled in the middle of the Virginia mountains.
Concretely, I really like that we have individual services for several
medicine subspecialties, including cardiology, gastroenterology, and
hematology/oncology. I'm planning to go into General Internal Medicine,
so I appreciate this direct exposure to the subspecialties. We have a
wide variety of patients from the University professor to the farmer
from over across the mountain, which lends to an enriched cultural
competency and diversity of disease processes. Another major
asset of our program: if something isn't working, the message comes
from the ground up and change is instituted. This is definitely a
resident-run program.
Charlottesville is such a unique place. It offers all of the creature comforts of a large city, but also has so many natural and historical resources. I definitely recommend visiting the homes of Presidents Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, all within an hour of UVA. The local vineyards also offer countless events throughout the year. One of my favorite evening activities is going to a vineyard for a picnic with friends and listening to local musicians. And the restaurants here are amazing too. I couldn't imagine a better location for such an awesome training program! As you can tell, I love UVA and Charlottesville and feel confident that I made the best decision in coming here. Please let me know if you have any questions!"
Bradley Weinbaum, M.D. email@example.com
Meet Brad Weinbaum
"There is no other city like Charlottesville! Rich history is deeply rooted in the University as well as the surrounding city. Architectural themes found on and off campus are magnificent in their beauty and a constant reminder of past leaders of our country. Shenandoah National Park and the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains are 15 miles away and provide amazing scenery, hiking trails and wildlife.
As a future chief, I am honored to carry on a tradition of excellence at UVA. I look forward to educating my peers, creating an enjoyable work environment and instilling a greater sense of unity and teamwork by joining my colleagues in the trenches when needed."

Frequently Asked Questions about Nephrotic Syndrome
What is nephrotic syndrome?
Nephrotic syndrome is a condition in which kidneys lose a large amount of protein in the urine causing the blood levels of various proteins to fall. If left untreated, this generally leads to swelling, first, around the eyes and, later, all over the body.
What causes nephrotic syndrome?
The cause for nephrotic syndrome is not known, but there may be a genetic susceptibility to certain types of nephrotic syndromes. A number of kidney diseases may be associated with nephrotic syndrome. Although, nephrotic syndrome may be seen as a part of other more complex diseases like lupus, HSP, or IgA nephropathy, it usually occurs in isolation.
What are the complications of this disease?
Among the various proteins lost in the urine are certain proteins required to fight infections and proteins that prevent blood from clotting. Hence, two of the important complications of this disease are an increased risk of infections and of clot formation within the blood vessels, which may affect the blood supply to one or more organs such as the lungs or kidneys. You must inform your physician if your child comes in contact with any infectious disease, such as chicken pox, develops a fever or has sudden onset of difficulty breathing or blood in his or her urine.
How is nephrotic syndrome treated?
The standard treatment for nephrotic syndrome is a steroid (prednisone) trial. In most children with nephrotic syndrome, steroids cause a prompt improvement in the symptoms of the disease (which is called remission). The dose and duration of prednisone depends on the weight and size of the child, as well as his or her clinical condition and, if applicable, previous response to steroids. In general, steroids are taken for a few weeks, even after the symptoms have resolved, and then gradually tapered. It is important that you follow the exact directions of your physician and not discontinue or change the dose without discussing it first, otherwise your child may be at increased risk for recurrence or other complications.
Is the treatment of nephrotic syndrome a permanent cure?
Although steroids are effective in a majority of children with this disease, they do not cure the condition. Your child is likely to have further episodes of nephrotic syndrome (called relapses) especially following infections such as the common cold, even though a minority of children with this condition have only one episode. You will be required to assess the response of your child to treatment by checking urine protein levels periodically by special strips that are dipped in urine called dipsticks. A child is having a relapse if the urine protein is 3 + or more for three days in a row. Similarly, the child is in remission if the urine protein is trace or negative for three or more days. It is important to record when your child's treatment is started or changes are made, the response to the treatment, and whenever your child goes into a remission or is having a relapse.
Are there any side effects of steroids?
Long term steroid treatment can be associated with various side effects which include: excessive weight gain especially on the cheeks, upper back and abdomen, mood swings, acne, facial hair, thinning of skin and appearance of stretch marks, abdominal pain, vomiting and high blood pressure. Sometimes an antacid or a blood pressure lowering medicine may be required. In the long term, steroids can also cause growth retardation and cataracts.
Are there any other medicines besides steroids that can be tried?
In certain instances, medicines other than steroids may be given (usually in addition to steroids) if your child is not responding to steroids or is requiring high dose steroids on a prolonged basis. The alternative medications that have been used in this disease include cyclosporine, FK 506, levamisole, and cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) among others. A kidney biopsy is usually performed before any of these alternative medications are tried.
Genetics of Familial Nephrotic Syndrome and FSGS
Nephrotic syndrome affects millions of individuals worldwide. Although nephrotic syndrome is usually sporadic, familial cases have been described with both autosomal dominant and recessive forms of inheritance. Thus, identification of the gene or genes involved in primary idiopathic nephrotic syndrome could provide insight into the cause of the disease, as well as new treatment strategies.
Genes and Nephrotic Syndrome
Although the cause of primary nephrotic syndrome is not understood, it is generally thought to be due to an abnormality of the filtering units of the kidney called glomerulus. The incidence of primary nephrotic syndrome is variable and depends upon the ethnic background, which suggests a genetic tendency. The African-American population is especially susceptible to a particularly severe form of nephrotic syndrome called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). A particular type of nephrotic syndrome called congenital nephrotic syndrome of Finnish type (CNF) is especially common in the Finnish population and is a distinct entity. Since age of onset is variable, primary nephrotic syndrome can be categorized according to this criterion as well as the underlying kidney pathology. Primary nephrotic syndrome symptoms can begin at birth (congenital), in childhood, or in adulthood.
Isolated familial nephrotic syndrome can exhibit dominant or recessive inheritance. The dominantly inherited primary nephrotic syndrome usually involves older persons and progresses slowly. Recessive forms of nephrotic syndrome have also been described and are usually more severe.
Dominant and Recessive Inheritance
Except for genes on the sex-determining chromosomes, both men and women have two copies of each gene. If only one changed copy of a gene causes a condition, the condition will be inherited in what is called a dominant pattern. Dominant disorders are ones that run from generation to generation. If an individual has a dominant condition, the chance of transmitting the gene to a child is 1 in 2 or 50% with each pregnancy. These odds are the same as getting "heads" in a coin toss. However, not everyone with the gene for this form of nephrotic syndrome may actually develop symptoms. Therefore, even if a child does not inherit nephrotic syndrome from a parent, he or she may still have inherited the gene and pass the gene and nephrotic syndrome on to his or her child.
Not every individual with primary nephrotic syndrome has other family members with the same condition. If neither of an individual's parents has nephrotic syndrome, there are several explanations for why the condition has occurred. The first possibility is that one parent may have the changed gene, but for some reason shows no symptoms. This is called reduced penetrance because the gene has no effect on one individual, but a noticeable affect on another. The second explanation for the presence of a condition in an individual, but not in his or her parents, is that a new change, called a mutation, has occurred in that individual (in the single sperm or egg) which caused the condition. There would then still be a 1 in 2 or 50% chance for that person to pass the new change on to his or her own children. A third explanation could be that the disease is being transmitted as a recessive condition.
A recessive inheritance pattern requires that each parent have a defective copy of the gene. If an individual with this type of inheritance pattern has one defective copy, they do not have symptoms of the disease. However, if two individuals with one defective copy each pass the defective copy to their child, the child has two defective copies of the gene and will exhibit symptoms of the disease. When both parents carry the defective gene, each child has about 25% chance of being affected by the disease.
We hope a new understanding of the genetic basis of inherited nephrotic syndrome will provide insight into its treatment and contribute to early identification of individuals at risk.
Prior Investigations and References
Prior Investigations
Massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and edema characterize idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS). Renal biopsy in children who respond to steroids usually shows minimal change disease, which is usually associated with a favorable prognosis [1]. Conversely, steroid non-responsive NS has poorer prognosis and is more frequently associated with diseases such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (GN) [1, 2]. Although minimal change disease is thought to be the most common cause of NS in children, there has recently been an increase in the incidence of FSGS among the pediatric NS population [3]. Progression from minimal change and mesangial proliferative GN to FSGS has been reported in both steroid responsive and non-responsive NS patients [2,4,5].
Idiopathic NS is generally regarded as a sporadic disease although congenital NS of the Finnish type (CNF) is a well-recognized heritable form of NS. Recently, both autosomal dominant and recessive forms of familial idiopathic NS have been identified [6-10]. The reported autosomal dominant forms of NS are generally less severe than the recessive forms. Although the histopathology of familial NS patients has primarily shown FSGS, the clinical features of these patients show a wide range of clinical features including age at presentation and progression to ESRD. Hence, elucidation of genetic factors associated with various heritable forms of NS will allow greater understanding of etiopathogenesis and possibly lead to a more robust classification and new therapeutic approaches.
Recently, linkage analysis has been reported in two large pedigrees with autosomal dominant NS where the primary pathology was FSGS. Mathis et al first reported a kindred from Oklahoma with linkage to a narrow region on chromosome 19q13 [7, 8]. This region also includes the gene for CNF [11]. However, Winn etal. excluded linkage to the same locus in a large family from New Zealand with similar disease and inheritance pattern [10] suggesting genetic heterogeneity. Recently, we have identified a family with autosomal dominant NS with significantly different clinical and histopathological features in which the trait maps to chromosome 19q13 confirming the findings of Mathis et al.
With the help of additional families we hope to further define the gene(s) responsible for NS, which would lead to a greater understanding of the pathologic mechanism causing nephrotic syndrome.

Abhay Vats, MD, Pediatric Nephrology, is working in conjunction with Demetrius Ellis, MD, Pediatric Nephrology, David N. Finegold, MD, Endocrinology and Human Genetics, and Robert E. Ferrell, PhD, Human Genetics at the University of Pittsburgh, to determine the genetic basis of primary inherited nephrotic syndrome. Alice Nayak is the Family Studies Coordinator for this project. The purpose of this study is to investigate the genetics of familial nephrotic syndrome using several families in which multiple members have been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome.
The Familial Nephrotic Syndrome Study aims to determine how nephrotic syndrome is inherited in families. Our hope is that identification of the genes responsible for familial nephrotic syndrome will provide a better understanding of its cause, and aid in the development of new and better methods for diagnosing and treating nephrotic syndrome. The Familial Nephrotic Syndrome Study is a linkage study. Linkage analysis involves a comparison of genetic material between family members with and without nephrotic syndrome. This allows the identification of markers on a chromosome that is associated with a gene responsible for nephrotic syndrome. These markers indicate the chromosomal location of that gene.
We are currently examining the various inheritance patterns of familial nephrotic syndrome. At this time we are recruiting families with at least two or more affected members with both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance [Link to Genetics of Familial Nephrotic Syndrome and FSGS] patterns. Family participation in the study is voluntary and includes answering questions regarding their medical and family history and supplying a blood sample (~ 10 cc) for DNA extraction.
We have recently ascertained a large family with autosomal dominant nephrotic syndrome in which the trait maps to chromosome 19q13. The affected family members presented with pathologic features ranging from minimal change disease to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
We are continuing to collect blood samples from families participating in the study as well as new families. For both affected and non-affected family members unable to visit Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, we mail a blood collection kit to your home so you may have your blood drawn locally. Therefore, those individuals interested in participation are encouraged to send in their kits if they already have them, call to request new ones if necessary, or contact Alice Nayak or Dr. Abhay Vats if your family is not yet participating, but would like to. Some family members will be invited to have additional blood and urine tests preformed. These tests will be used to determine the severity of nephrotic syndrome in affected individuals and to determine if any family members without obvious nephrotic syndrome have any other kidney disorders. If you are invited to participate in this testing, the Familial Nephrotic Syndrome Study will cover the expenses involved with testing.
We would like to remind you that this is a research study, and therefore, we cannot guarantee that any information will be available to individual families or participants. This study does not provide diagnosis or treatment of nephrotic syndrome, and may not result in any direct benefit to the participants. However, it is our hope that it will benefit nephrotic syndrome patients in the future. Also, as genes are identified and proven to be responsible for causing familial nephrotic syndrome in specific families, we will contact the participating family members to inform them of this finding and discuss the impact of this information on them and their family. In addition, the participation of families and family members is voluntary and confidential. Advances in understanding the underlying cause of familial nephrotic syndrome are critically dependent on the participation of individuals and families in our research. Should you have any questions or concerns about this information or the study in general, please don't hesitate to call or contact Alice Nayak or Dr. Abhay Vats using the information listed on the Familial Nephrotic Syndrome Study home page.

Recipe by dragonkitty
"A no-bake pie exclusively for dedicated chocolate lovers! My family loves homemade chocolate cream pie for our Christmas dinner. I created this one and nothing has been the same since! Refrigerate the pie until ready to serve. It may also be frozen."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Dark Chocolate Layer
3 (1.55 ounce) bars
dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup
miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup
1 pinch
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/2 cup
heavy cream
1 (9 inch)
prepared graham cracker crust
Milk Chocolate Layer
3 (1.55 ounce) bars
milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 (8 ounce) tub
chocolate whipped topping, thawed
1 (8 ounce) tub
whipped topping, thawed
1/4 cup
miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips, for garnish
My husband said he would be excited to have this again. I actually wasn't crazy about it until we froze it...then it was fantastic. For new bakers, a make-shift double boiler is easily concocted by placing a just smaller pot or bowl inside a little larger pot of water. I think an Oreo crust might be even better. Oh, and I just used regular Cool Whip twice instead of chocolate, no problem. Don't be intimidated by all of the ingredients, it's not hard...okay maybe a little time consuming, but worth it. Thanks for sharing!
This was really rich and tasty. Way too much ingrediant to fit in the pie crust. I must have done something wrong cause mine never solidified enough to layer I had to freeze each layer.

I used regular cool whip and mixed in chocolate instant pudding mix. It turned out to be a very nice recipe that I am going to use again!
This recipe was quite good -- very rich. However, it seemed like trying to fit a gallon of milk into a shot glass. One pie crust is in no way big enough for all of what is supposed to go into it. I had to omit one tub of whipped cream and still ended up having extra from each chocolate portion (which was fine when poured into dessert glasses and layered!)
Pretty easy to make--my local grocery store didn't have chocolate whipped topping so I added a little cocoa powder to plain whipped topping instead. My family loved it and I'm sure I'll be making it again!
Thanks for sharing!
I made this for a friend's Thanksgiving gathering. It didn't seem like it ever got very firm, but it was a huge hit with everyone who tried it. I also used the chocolate pudding mixed into my whipped topping. My family likes the dark chocolate layer, so we made a pie with just that layer and it was wonderful. I would definitely recommend you use a deep dish pie crust if you make all three layers! The one layer pie fit perfectly into a regular pie crust. Also, substitute a chocolate cookie crumb crust and it's much better. I used chocolate animal crackers, butter, and sugar for mine.
I just have to say that this pie was amazing! I made it exactly according to recipe, only change I made was also making a layer of white chocolate, using your ingredients and method, and dividing all three (dark, milk, white) mixtures in half to fill two chocolate graham pie crusts instead of one. Absolutely awesome! My husband doesn't care much for chocolate, but he practically ate the whole first pie by himself! I have made twice since first finding this recipe, and it is always awesome! Thanks a million!
this pie is outstanding! the first time i made it was for my wife who is a chocoholic. now i am going to make it again for thanksgiving!

Hey, my name is Samantha, I go by Sam though. I'm study education in grad school and working two jobs. It definitely keeps me busy but I still enjoy going out on the weekends with friends or staying in and having a movie night. I love trying new things or taking a short weekend trip to get away for a few days. Traveling the world is a big priority. I haven't seen much but hope that changes. Of course family and friends are extremely important to me. I have a very big extended family so family parties are usually loud and long. I have to start saying goodbye about an hour before I have to leave if I want to get to everyone- but I wouldn't have it any other way. Im a hard worker but also I'm pretty easy going and hoping to find someone who is too. I'm also a goofball and love it if someone can make me laugh and isn't afraid to be themselves. Other than that I don't really have a type. I think building off of a strong friendship is key to a good relationship.

Haven't been to many but I love going to Boston sports games (mostly celtics!). Indoor rock climbing is a new hobby but would love to try outdoors. The beach is my favorite place...any time of the year. I enjoy trying new bars and restaurants.

For many people, the holidays can be one of the most stressful times of the year.
According to a poll conducted by the American Psychological Association, nearly half of Americans found their stress levels had increased over the past year and 30 percent considered their stress level to be extreme.
Stress becomes even more severe during the holidays.
"For many people, their regular routines become disrupted," explained Bonnie Black, director of Employee Assistance Services, a program of Behavioral Health Services North. "And, in our materialistic society, people feel that they need to 'measure up' to their children, family and friends through the 'stuff' we see hyped every 30 seconds during commercial breaks."
To reduce some of the stress associated with the season, the APA suggests people take time for themselves, volunteer, have realistic expectations, remember what's important, and seek support.
To take time for yourself, the APA suggests people go for long walks, get a massage or read.
"All of us need some time to recharge our batteries," states a press release from the APA. "By slowing down you will actually have more energy to accomplish your goals."
Black finds volunteering to be one of the best ways to cope with holiday stress.
"[It] gets people into the spirit of the season," said Black. "We have many nonprofits in the North Country, all of whom need more volunteers."
Black has found the biggest holiday stress factor to be the unrealistic expectations people set for themselves.
"Attitudes are dependent on our perceptions and since we are in control of our perceptions, it is possible for us to perceive events with a positive attitude - and less stress."
In regards to putting things into perspective, Dr. Peter Kanaris, public education coordinator for the New York State Psychological Association, said to "realize that the materialism of the holidays isn't the real spirit of the season. The holidays are about family and togetherness, not tinsel and presents."

Still available until I post it on Ebay this Sunday.
New price $80 for the covers, includes shipping.
Are the LED's still available?
Email also sent.
Thanks, Curtis
Without the flasher module does that mean they just blink for left and right instead of that annoying direction flashing?
T'll take 'em. Sent you an email to work out the details.
TIA, sparky!!!
I think thats what happens, I am not sure.
I got your email but I thought it was a duplicate so I deleted it since I had two from you
I will be out of town for the week so a PM is best. I have internet access but not email.
PM sent.
The valve covers are still left until this Sunday (eBay).
Will the valve covers accept roller rockers? Are they baffled? I had some chrome VCs on my 351w a few years back but they weren't baffled so they shot oil into the carb via the egr and it got burnt. That was annoying. Lemme know...
Yes, rollers will fit. No baffles.

:/Nationals claimed outfielder Kenny Kelly off waivers from the Reds.
GM Jim Bowden just can't resist an outfielder with tools. Kelly is a worse player than J.J. Davis, probably Brandon Watson, too. The Nationals will carry him for now, but he should head back to the minors after Tony Blanco and Henry Mateo come off the DL.

:runawaycr :obrien:
All Kelly did was outperform Machado at AAA and the MLB level. Big deal.
Why did he waive Kelly? If you were going to get rid of Kelly you could have gotten something for him. This is crazy losing Kelly to the Nationals for nothing. What has Machado got on Dano? :thumbdown

What? Kelly goes before Machado.
"Off with his head".
Kelly actually had some promise. Having a breakout season and was a late developer due to playing football for 3 years at Miami.
I guess this also settles the fact about Freel going back to 2nd. With Cruz as the only OF on the bench, Freel is now a role/bench player.
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
I can only laugh at this.. It's a good thing DanO's love child was protected.
However, there's a good chance that when Wash gets some people off the DL, the Reds will get a chance to reclaim Kelly when the Nats attempt to send him down. Anyone up for Tim Pugh ping pong? (Remember that with the Royals? )

Cloth nappies in hot temperatures(9 Posts)
Thanks everyone for good advice :-) DS has never had nappy rash with disposables and I've got him in one size pocket cloth ones which he's been 'trialling' past two days and no rash either, so far so good... Will def check out the brands and websites recommended, I am second hand obsessed so hoping to get a big eBay haul for someone to bring over with them!
I don't live in a hot climate but a few years back we travelled round Central America for a month with two children in cloth. I had to hand wash mostly too!
Dd2 was 16 months, had awful problems with disposables giving her a rash, so we stuck to what we did at home in
freezing Scotland and it was great.
And other one using cloth in a hot, sticky climate, now on child number 2. DD had minimal nappy rash (can't recall details now) and DS (6m) has only ever had a tiny bit following disposable wearing (out and about). I know of a few others using them here and never heard any complaints.
Ours get washed every 2nd day or so and I've never noticed smells, other than when bucket lid is off. We use shaped bamboo nappies, bought in the UK for DD and I haven't needed to buy any new ones for DS (just a couple of new wraps).
I don't know where you are exactly, but here we have a little hose thingy next to the toilet which is great for rinsing off poo (especially that runny b/fed poo) before chucking in a pail. I'm not sure what I'd have done in the UK...
There's an Australian brand called Itti bItti which I really like, and they're massively popular, so I think the answer to your question is that plenty of people use cloth in a hot climate! I would actually think that cloth nappies would be better for a baby's skin than disposables in sweaty weather. The brand I mention have a Facebook page, and the company are so helpful, so I would suggest contacting them with some of your questions, even if you don't end up using those ones. (I'm not associated with them in any way btw, I just love cute fluff!).
I had my DD in cloth nappies, it gets to about 50 here with about 80+ humidity during the summer. No problems at all, in fact she had less rashes than other children. The nursery commented on the fact one small pot of cream lasted a term. Tea Tree oil is your friend. I used to soak both ends of a cotton bud in it and tape it to the inside of the lid of the nappy bin and we never had any problems. Washed every 2 or 3 days.
My thoughts were that they have nice soft natural cotton against their skin rather than yukky man made fibers filled with absorbent crystals. You just need to see the inside of one disposable when they have split to see how much stuff is inside.
Not cheap but so worth it. I knew I was only having the one but it was still the only way (for me) to go.
I'm in tropical rainforest - v high humidity! Both of mine have been in cloth with no problems. I use disposables at night, however, because I haven't found a cloth that stays dry & doesn't involve layering/plastic pants, which would be too hot.
My little one wears modern cloth nappy + singlet during the day - so cooler than if he were in disposables, because they're too ugly not to cover with shorts!
1. No - haven't noticed that.
2. I wash every two days, its usually ok. In the summer, I have to put a few drops of tea tree oil into the bucket - but smells fine as long as lid is on anyway. We had a power cut for a few days following a cyclone last year - the ammonia smell was horrific!
3. I am in Aus, but actually shipped most of mine from the US or got from ebay as lots cheaper.
sorry www.diaperswappers.com
I used cloth nappies with all three of mine as it is very hot here in summer, up to about 40 but not high humidity. My babies seemed cooler and their little bums were cooler to the touch than in disposables. I used cotton prefolds and wraps made of nylon on the first two, and last one got all kinds of fancy stuff tried on her.
We ended up using hemp fitteds at night with wool cover (I though wool would be terrible but it was wonderful) and she had an assortment of fitteds and pockets for daytime. I got my info from www.diaperswappers.com they gave me lots of information on washing, storage for washing, detergents, types of nappies and everything else you could ever think of. There is bound to be people in more humid areas that would have information for you too.
Have posted same on 'nappies' forum but no one has responded so hoping some expats can help out:
I wanted to use cloth nappies first time round and piked out as they are very expensive here (and everything shipped over..) and even the shopkeeper I was about to buy them from said they're too hot here (lame, I know) BUT I want to find out from some experienced mums your views on the following:
1. Will baby's bum be sweaty/ wet all the time? It is average 28deg and 84% humidity here... ALL the time!
2. Will storing up a day or twos worth of nappies for the wash be a stink fest (in the temp as described above..!)?
3. The only brand made close to here is Charlie Banana- any good? Or do I need to ship from uk or Aus?
Thanks in advance

New Attorney Appointed For Rogers 'Bolt, No New Detention Hearing Set
Posted: March 20, 2014 at 6 a.m.
Jim Bolt, who pleaded guilty in January to federal mail and wire fraud related to his purported alternative cancer treatment clinic, Situs Cancer Research Center, in Rogers, was appointed a new attorney Wednesday but his request for a new detention hearing wasn't addressed.
Detention Hearing
A pretrial hearing in federal court is much like a bail hearing in state court. The court determines whether to detain the defendant without bail. In deciding if bail is appropriate, the court considers if any conditions, such as a particular amount or government monitoring, will ensure the defendant, if released from custody, will show up for court in the future. The judge also will consider if the defendant's release will compromise the safety of any particular people or the community at large.
