Q: I have an iPod touch and I forgot the 4 digit passcode, can you help me?
- Kate
A: Unfortunately there is no way to bypass the password requirement on the iPod touch. If you have a MobileMe account with the "Find My iPhone" feature enabled, you can reset the password remotely and then enter the new password to access your device. Otherwise you will need to restore it completely back to factory settings, erasing everything on it in the process.
After several attempts at entering the password, your iPod touch will start to make you wait between attempts. You can reset this delay by connecting the device to iTunes on your computer, but this will not actually unlock the device; merely reset the password attempt counter.
iTunes normally backs up your iPod touch each time you connect it to your computer, and it will do this even if the device is locked, provided you're connecting it to your primary computer. You can check the status of your device backups by visiting the Devices tab in your iTunes Preferences.
Provided you have a recent backup and all of your media content and apps are in your iTunes library, restoring the iPod touch is a relatively painless process. Simply connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, and click the "Restore" button which appears on the "Summary" screen in iTunes.
This will erase your iPod and reload the operating system. Following this, your device will restart and iTunes will prompt you to restore your backup onto your device. After your backup has been restored, iTunes then re-syncs all of your content onto your iPod touch, assuming you were using automatic synchronization. If you were managing your content manually, you will have to re-add your media content back on yourself.

BarackObama is on Twitter. So is (at)MittRomney. And so are all the voters following the 2012 presidential contest, whether they know it or not.
Candidates, strategists, journalists and political junkies have all flocked to Twitter, the social networking hub where information from the mundane to the momentous is shared through 140-character microbursts known as tweets.
While relatively few voters are on Twitter — a study by the Pew Research Center found that about 13 percent of American adults have joined the site — it's become an essential tool for campaigns to test-drive themes and make news with a group of politically wired "influencers" who process and share those messages with the broader world.
Put simply: When a voter is exposed to any information related to the presidential contest, chances are it's been through the Twitter filter first.
"The subset of people on Twitter may be relatively small, but it's a politically engaged audience whose influence extends both online and off," said Heather LaMarre, a University of Minnesota communications professor who studies social media. "It's not the direct message that has the biggest influence on people — it's the indirect message."
No one believes the campaign will be won or lost on Twitter — it's just one slice of an enormous communication effort the presidential campaigns are waging in cyberspace. But with a well-timed 140-character blast, candidates influence coverage, respond to charges or reinforce talking points.
This, of course, is not the first time technology has changed the way campaigns are conducted. Radio, TV and the Internet all prompted campaigns to adapt, giving both more avenues to reach voters and more control of their message. But radio and television are top-down mediums at heart — from the broadcaster to the public. Never before has a grassroots technology like Twitter given both voice and power to millions — and given candidates a real-time way to monitor the effects of their messages and recalibrate on the fly.
And that means an ever-changing campaign narrative for 2012.
Four years ago, Twitter was still in relative infancy and just 1.8 million tweets were sent on Election Day 2008. Now, Twitter gets that many approximately every eight minutes.
Obama's 2012 State of the Union address drew 800,000 tweets, Twitter said. And tweets mentioning Rick Santorum jumped from 10-20 per minute to over 2,500 tweets per minute when news broke that he was suspending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
Both the Obama and Romney campaigns have actively embraced Twitter, using it to communicate directly with supporters and, more importantly, drive the political conversation in a way that reaches far beyond the site. They're also mindful of the hazards of Twitter, designating war room staffers to monitor the site for problems to address or gaffes from their rivals to exploit.
"Our team understands that the most important issues in this campaign are jobs and the economy, not the Twitter controversy of the day," Romney spokesman Ryan Williams said. "But we need to be on top of everything and monitor every aspect of this race. Twitter helps us keep our finger on the pulse of the fast moving pace of new media."
Twitter's impact was on vivid display last week.
Obama, warning a college audience that interest rates on their federal student loans could double if Congress doesn't act soon, urged students to make their voices heard on Twitter.
"Tweet them! Teach your parents how to tweet!" Obama said, asking them to add the hash tag (hash)dontdoublemyrate.
The Obama campaign's introduction of a campaign tool named Julia also showcased what both parties will do to get the last word on Twitter.
The Obama team unveiled an interactive slideshow on its website showing how a hypothetical woman named Julia whom the campaign says would benefit from the president's policies throughout her life.
"Follow Julia from age 3 to 67," the Obama campaign tweeted with a link to the tool — all but guaranteeing a level of buzz among Twitter users that then spilled into other social media and into reporters' stories.
Republicans, for their part, moved quickly on Twitter to respond — tying Julia to the persistent weak economy.
"Did u tell (hash)Julia how much debt you left her?" Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer tweeted.
"Based on today's bad unemployment report, it appears that Julia has given up looking for work," former George W. Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer tweeted after Friday's unemployment figures showed tepid job growth.
Twitter's warp speed presents both an opportunity and a challenge to campaigns ever vigilant about maintaining message discipline.
The Romney campaign sought to seize advantage after Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen remarked that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's wife, Ann, a stay at home mother of 5 sons, had "never worked a day in her life." Polls show Romney lagging badly among women voters, and his advisers have sought ways to mitigate the gender gap.
After Rosen's comments on CNN quickly exploded — on Twitter — the Romney campaign launched a Twitter feed from the candidate's wife.
"I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work," (at)AnnDRomney said in her first-ever tweet. "All moms are entitled to choose their path," came her second.
Ann Romney's engagement on Twitter quickly earned her several thousand followers on the site. But it also scored news headlines and helped cast Democrats as unsympathetic to women who stay home with children — a score for the Romney campaign that went far beyond the Twitter audience.
Twitter has also caused both campaigns plenty of headaches.
The Obama team was forced onto defense during the Rosen controversy, even though she has no connection to the president's re-election effort. The campaign deployed Michelle Obama to push back on Rosen.
"Every mother works hard and every woman deserves to be respected," the first lady tweeted.
In February, Romney delivered an economic speech at Ford Field in Detroit — a must-win primary state for the Michigan native as he battled rival Santorum for the GOP nomination.
But hours earlier, reporters began tweeting photos of the nearly empty football arena and the small section of it reserved for Romney's event. By the time the former Massachusetts governor delivered the address, the ill-chosen venue had become the story instead.
Twitter helped lead to the resignation of a Romney foreign policy spokesman this week. Richard Grenell stepped down from his post in part because of caustic tweets he had sent about a host of public figures including Rachel Maddow and Newt and Callista Gingrich.
Indeed, Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, said the snark factor is one of Twitter's biggest pitfalls.
"You're more likely to be embarrassed by what's said on Twitter than to be praised," Rosenstiel said. "The things that go viral tend to be jokes and tend to be mocking."
But, he added, "Twitter has this quality of being an alert system that elevates it above the number of people using it."

About me:
Growing up in Iowa my six siblings and two amazing parents played a large part in defining me both personally and professionally. In college, I decided I wanted to be a teacher and graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Elementary Education. A month later I moved to this great state and began my teaching career.
I got lucky. My first class was a 3rd and 4th grade combination in a school that served a large population of at-risk students. It was a difficult year but a wonderful experience where I really understood the importance of every child deserving a great teacher and access to academic opportunities.
As I witnessed the inequities among the different demographic populations I was a part of, I drew on my roots, spending invaluable time on the phone each week with my parents, discussing and trying to understand the harsh realities and struggles people face every day. During this pivotal time in my life, I fell in love with these kids and continued to work for many more years with a similar population.
As a teacher: Eight years into my career, I earned my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from CU Boulder. Several years later, I earned my Type D Principal's license with the intention of eventually becoming a principal and using my expertise to turn around low-performing schools.
I have spent 25 years in Adams County District 12, teaching math and science to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students in three different Middle Schools. Along the way, my district has given me many opportunities to grow and develop as a teacher in my classroom and as a leader in the field of education.
My accomplishments include:
- Helped Adams 12 School District transition from the Junior High to a Middle School concept;
- Participated in textbook and curriculum adoption including, writing and implementing science curriculum;
- Served on the essential learnings team to develop authentic common assessments;
- Trained many new teachers.
- Served as my school's Data Analyst
- Prepared the STATE Accountability Notebook for two years.
- Member of our district cohort team, testing and implementing a new system for teacher evaluations.
- Coached girls and boys basketball, softball and a SIM EARTH team.
- Teacher sponsor for our school chess and science club
My family: When my husband, John, and I had our first son 10 years ago, we jumped into parenting with both feet! Our two boys attend Maple Grove Elementary where I have been active with the PTA and School Accountability Committee, while volunteering in the classroom as much as is possible for a working mom. This past year I coached my boys' baseball team and each of their basketball teams, and I volunteer at their swim meets. John and I have a regular date night playing ultimate Frisbee! We love to hike, bike, camp, garden, cook, and play games as a family!
In the past few years I've started to pay more attention to Jeffco Schools as a whole. I have attended most Board meetings and have been sharing what I learn with my community. Jeffco has always had a powerful reputation among educators and among families. I want Jeffco to continue to be an excellent place for students to learn, teachers to educate, and community members to live, work and play.

Sir Patrick Moore could explain the marvels of the universe like no other

Published: 09 December 2012
Sir Patrick Moore - who has died at 89 - was the astronomer who, more than any other scientist living or dead, could explain to the world the marvels of the universe - and beyond.
TV personalities come and go, but Moore, famous for his monocle, outlasted them all.
For more than 40 years, he presented BBC TV's popular The Sky At Night programme, a wonderland of information for the expert, the novice and his huge army of fans who had no particular scientific bent at all.
It became the longest running television series with the same presenter.
His knowledge of outer space was prodigious and he possessed a unique ability to transmit that knowledge in a comprehensible and attractive form to the layman.
But Moore, despite an occasional irascible nature and a tendency towards eccentricity, was a kindly man and modest with it. Once he said he would like to be remembered as an amateur astronomer who played cricket and the xylophone.
Patrick Caldwell Moore was born on March 4, 1923. He was educated privately, because of illness.
His interest in astronomy was fired at the age of six when he read a book called Guide To The Solar System, published in 1898. "I picked up that book by sheer luck and sat down by the armchair and read it through. I understood most of it - which wasn't bad for a six-year-old."
At the age of eight he was given a 1908 model Woodstock typewriter on which all of his 170 books were written. He claimed to be able to type at 90 words a minute - using only two fingers.
Then, when he was 11, he was nominated as a member of the British Astronomical Association - the youngest never member. He published his first paper, on small craters in the Mare Crisium on the Moon at the age of 13 - exactly 50 years before he was to be president of the association.
The paper was accepted and he was asked to present it. "I wrote back saying, 'Thank you for your letter. I'd be honoured but you've got to understand I'm only 13'. They replied: 'We don't see what that's got to do with it'."
As a young man Moore knew Albert Einstein. He said of him: "He was an interesting man: totally unworldly. He was a violin player and I accompanied him playing Saint-Saens's 'Swan'. I wish I had a tape of it."
He served with the Royal Air Force from 1940 to 1945, as a navigator in Bomber Command. To get into the armed forces at only 16 he had to lie about his age and fake his medical.
The girl he was to marry was killed during the war in an air raid. He said since: "My whole life ended in one day. These things happen. You accept them. As far as I was concerned, that was that. It's the reason I have never married. But I don't like living alone."
Nevertheless he did live alone for most of his life at his beloved Selsey in Sussex.
His career as an astronomer blossomed. Whereas hardly anybody could name the Astronomer Royal, Moore became a household name. Within the span of half a century he observed what must be the most spectacular period in the history of any science.
He always said that the Cold War never affected astronomers. "The International Astronomical Union is the only organisation I know that always has been totally international.
"At the very height of the Cold War, at one stage the president was a Russian, the vice-president was American. In space research the Cold War went on. In pure astronomy it didn't."
Moore's years on television began while space travel was "bunk" in the unguarded words of Britain's then Astronomer Royal in 1956.
But within six months Sputnik I was beeping in the heavens. Within three years men were in space and within 12 years they were on the Moon.
When Moore began broadcasting, cosmologists contemplated an eternal universe and continuous creation and birth by the Big Bang as equally unprovable.
"We are very strong on detail, very weak on fundamentals," Moore used to say. "No one has ever yet discussed the origin of the universe."
But his popularity as an astronomer incurred the jealousy of those who regarded themselves as superior to him.
One Fellow of the Royal Society once said: "We would never elect Patrick Moore as a Fellow, not even for his achievement in science education." Was this, the Fellow was asked, because he had no degree? "No," came the reply, "because he makes science popular."
Nevertheless, his scholarship was highly respected. He would take minute pains to double and treble-check his facts. His 1970 book, The Atlas Of The Universe, despite all its magnificent and bold illustrations of planets and star clusters, is a masterpiece of cautious accuracy.
One of his great triumphs was to explain, on TV, the existence of a giant black hole at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy. Various scientists tried to do it, unsuccessfully, in a variety of weird and wonderful ways.
Moore had a map of the Milky Way drawn on the floor of the studio. He walked towards the centre and then, by some feat of conjuring, disappeared.
One of his most frustrating moments as a broadcaster was when he said: "We'll hear the voices of the first men round the Moon in 20 seconds. This is one of the great moments in human history. And at that moment they switched over to Jackanory."
But he remained loyal to the BBC throughout, even though he had tempting offers from others. "I have no contract with the BBC at all, but I do have a gentleman's agreement, which is totally unbreakable," he once said.
Moore passionately wanted to go into space himself. "But I'm the wrong age, the wrong nationality and the wrong medical grade. Besides," he joked, "it would need a very massive rocket to launch me."
He used to gaze at the stars and say: "We are a very, very small speck in the universe, about as important as a single ant in the whole of the world."
He was also an accomplished player of the xylophone and composed music for this instrument. He was also a zestful cricketer, who remained a useful and occasionally dangerous medium-pace bowler well beyond his youth.
He once described his idea of perfect happiness as "bowling to a nervous batsman on a sticky wicket".
Moore was also an ardent fan of Margaret Thatcher whom he once described as the living woman he most admired. He also claimed to have been bored by anti-South African propaganda.
In 2000 he suffered a paralysis in his right hand which considerably restricted his activities as a musician and a writer. He was also forced to cancel lectures.
This disability even prevented him from opening the letter telling him he was being considered for a knighthood.
The paralysis occurred just after he had written a wedding march for a friend. "I wrote it down, then played it to make sure I'd done it correctly, then closed the piano. It was quite uncanny actually. That was the last time I could play the piano. The next morning I couldn't move my hand."
Moore became an OBE in 1968 and a CBE in 1988. He was knighted in the 2001 New Year list "for services to the popularisation of science and to broadcasting", an honour which earned him congratulations from around the world.
In July, 2004, at the age of 81, Moore by his own admission "nearly died" after a severe bout of food poisoning caused, he believed, by a duck's egg he had eaten.
He battled on and in 2007 presented a special 50th anniversary episode of the show from his back garden with special guests including Queen guitarist Brian May.
Five years on he hit the headlines again when in an interview to mark the show's 55th anniversary he warned of the danger of another world war and declared "the only good Kraut is a dead Kraut".

It's a new week and the long anticipated album from snoop doggy dog id finally out. I am glad Snoop Lion is on the outs, let's get back to the sound and style we love.
Can you even imagine being woken out of a sound sleep by a sea lion that is snoring away right next you? In some ways I think it would be awesome, but in reality maybe a little frightening.
Given the fact that Duluth has been voted one of the best outdoor cities in the U.S. many Northlanders love to take advantage of all it has to offer this time of year. Add kids in the mix, and you really need to b prepared at all times.

Have had several business lunches at Earl's. The food is always good - nothing exceptional, as is the service. I always feel it cost just a bit more than it should for the overall experience.

We ate here twice. The first time the calamari and sushi were really good, as were the drinks. It was weekend lunch. We came back for lunch a couple of days later (week day) it was busy, and nothing seemed to be made with as much care.
Nice food, good selection of drinks, service excellent. We had a fun evening meeting people who we had not met before and it was enjoyable for all who attended!
I actually went here two times because it was so good. Servers are exceptionally friendly and fun. Food is a great mix from burgers to noodle bowls. Just a great relaxing atmosphere to hang, eat and drink with friends.
Our visit could not have been any better. Ask for Rachel for your server, she was amazing. Fish and chips were very good. Clam chowder and Caesar salad were spot on. The dessert was incredible....chocolate cake (light and fluffy) with a toffee sauce served with gelato. Very loud if the place is full.
Wonderful atmosphere, particularly upstaris with all the windows open and the sun on your back!! Great service and they never make you feel like you're forgotten - just wonderful wait staff. Now the meals are simple but the sliders are divine. The decor is modern and there is live music - a plus at times. Great place for large gathering...
stopped in for a few drinks on two nights during our stay. The wait staff/bartenders were very friendly, even though on one night we were the only people in the place. Overall good appetizers and drinks. A bit on the pricier side but we got what we paid for.
Went there tonight and saw online they had this burger with onion rings....well they discontinued that burger so got a different one. Lady told us open seating upstairs well when we sat upstairs the section we were in was closed so had to move. Music blasting...I didn't know if I was in a club or restaurant. Got our food and...
Chicken was great dish. Arrived for lunch at 11 and place was quiet. It quickly got very busy after 11:30. Recommend getting there early for lunch and don't plan on getting out fast.
We had a party of 6 and had a variety of dishes, everyone was satisfied, food was very good. Service was great. A trendy and lively atmosphere with a spacious layout and outdoor seating that looked fun in nice weather (it was raining so we were inside). Very clean restaurant too! Great experience and highly recommend.

Brace yourself for the TRIPLE dip: UK economy 'will contract again next year' because of eurozone crisis
Ed Balls has said George Osborne risks permanently damaging the economy
Chancellor George Osborne has been accused of permanently damaging the economy. The UK could suffer a triple dip recession next year
Britain could suffer a triple dip recession next year because of the ongoing Eurozone crisis.
Leading economists have warned a Greek exit from the EU could plunge the UK into financial chaos next Spring, following a brief recovery from the Olympics.
The triple dip would be unprecedented and could threaten Britain's AAA credit rating.
The news will no doubt pile more pressure on Chancellor George Osborne who has been criticised for making too many cutbacks and crippling Britain's ailing economy.
Azad Zangana, from leading investment company Shroders, said he believed the country's GDP would increase by 0.5 per cent in the current quarter.
He predicted it would continue to grow until March before two consecutive quarters of negative growth, he said to the Sunday Times.
The growth predictions come following the shocking 0.7 per cent decline in the country's GDP which was announced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) last week.
Michael Saunders from Citigroup said he believed the GDP would only grow by 0.3 per cent in 2013 and confirmed the risk of a triple dip recession.
'My guess is that for the next few quarters, after a technical bounce in the third quarter, the economy will be roughly flat, which I would describe as a disastrously bad outcome compared with previous cycles,' he said.
These GDP figures show how the economy has changed since 2007
Vince Cable, left, is being invited to create a new national consensus on the economy by shadow chancellor Ed Balls. It is hoped the move will drive a wedge between him and George Osborne, right
Meanwhile shadow chancellor Ed Balls said Mr Osborne's refusal to change the Coalition's budget meant he risked permanently damaging Britain's economy.
He said in an interview with the Independent on Sunday that Mr Osborne's
Ed Balls has said George Osborne risks permanently damaging the British economy
approach of a 'sit on your hands strategy' was dangerous and would leave families and businesses paying a 'long-term price'.
Mr Balls also said it was wrong for the Government to sit and hope that the Olympics would save the country from recession.
'As the IMF (International Monetary Fund) said last week, the long-term impact on the underlying strength of the British economy will be more young people unemployed and businesses investing in other parts of the world,' he said.
'All of those things add up to an economy which ends up permanently weaker, not just temporarily weaker.'
He also appealed to business secretary Vince Cable to join him in creating a new way forward for the economy.
Mr Balls invited the Lib Dem to joine him in a 'new national consensus' which would put Britain on the right track because its what the 'country needs and deserves'.
'I would love there to be a new national consensus on the right way forward, and I would love the Lib Dems to want to be part of that.'
The move will no doubt drive a wedge between defecting Lib Dems and the government.
Concerns for the Eurozone crisis have also deepened following rumours that Spain is considering asking for a £235 billion bailout. However, officials have denied the reports.

This mattress frame is easy to put together, and easy to roll after it's built. I think it took me longer to open the box than it did to construct the frame. It fits the mattress well and provides enough height for me to use storage bins under the bed.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate
I chose this frame because it has casters and a bracket for headboard only. The assembly was easy and straight forward, a caveman could do it. Im very pleased with the quality and feel of the product.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? yees

Simple reasonable price, well made.
product got here quickly. Super easy to set up love the casters. seems to sleep great
This bed frame was perfect for our son's bedroom. Easy to assemble and very sturdy. Price was great. Very happy with purchase!
Easy to put together and does what it is suppose to do...I mean, it's a bed frame...
I bought a new bed for our bedroom with the intention of putting our old one into the spare room. I didn't realize that the new bed did not come with a frame so I needed to get one for the spare room. The store where the bed was purchased wanted over a hundred dollars for the least expensive frame so of course I go to overstock and found this one. It serves it's purpose and works great. I don't know how it would hold up to every day use since this is in a spare room but I don't think there would be issues.
Arrived quicker than expected but greatly appreciated, just as advertised and very pleased.
arrived fast, exactly what i ordered, very happy---sturdy, adjustable
I needed a queen frame. ****** wanted to charge me XXX, plus delivery. This is the same frame for about 40% of the cost.
Sturdy frame, just wish it was a littler higher off the ground
This bedframe was ease to set up and worked perfectly.
It's easy to assemble, sturdy and light weight. Price is right - no brainer.
Easy to assemble, just what I needed. I took off the rollers, though, it was too tall with our mattress and box spring.
Easy to assemble and seems sturdy. More than met my needs for guest room bed
It came on time, it was easy to put together and works great.
This bed frame was exactly what I expected. Assembly was easy.
Good buy. Easy to assemble.
Quick and easy to put together. Sturdy and supportive. Wheels work really well on carpet with high pile. Great price.
The bed frame was easy to put together, but once it was together and I had to attach my headboard to the front of the bed frame, I discovered the metal piece that needed to be tightened to the headboard was bent, which prevented me from connecting the headboard on tightly. My headboard is loose now due to the bent piece of metal.

Just How Physically Big Was Duran?
He began his career at 17 years of age weighing less than 120 pounds but managed to be effective all the way up to middleweight. Was it just skill that allowed him to be that effective?

Duran was a strongly built lightweight who you felt was going to be effective even up to 147 pounds, although the question remained whether his aggressive style could have the same success against bigger men.
It was his skill and will alone that carried him up to the middleweight division (along with eating habits). He could look very out of shape at 160 pounds, in his best middleweight fights he weighed in around 154 lbs and wasn't exactly in peak physical condition.

Duran was a big and strong lightweight, big skull, broad shoulders. When he moved up to WW he fit in nicely.

size is what it brings you in a boxing match
size is what it affords you
duran did not have a huge frame even at LW. it was big, but he's not ali funeka.
he did have what his size afforded him, though. a great chin and a great punch.
the man had zero business fighting at MW. zero. he didnt grow into the division. he basically ate his way there. it was a great chin and cuteness that allowed him to compete with such larger men. he also carried enough punch to get a man's attention. he wobbled iran barkley, one of the biggest MW, and he even got the respect of marvin hagler, a career MW with an iron chin.
he would have certainly had the ability to become a legitimate welterweight given his size.
when he was a LW and smashing everybody he was young.
tape dont lie, either
he was 5'7"ish with a 66 inch reach according to the boxrec. i thought he looked longer than that from his LW footage, but the tape generally doesnt lie. sometimes people fudge with the numbers.

muscular men and men with large bones actually gain weight naturally all the way into their early 30's. everybody hits the man strength years in his early 20's. perhaps once in a blue moon you'll find a small guy who has peaked physically by 20 years old, but it's pretty rare.
just check out all your friends in your high school yearbook. lots are fat now, sure, but even the fit ones are tens of lbs bigger.

|Long Term Methotrexate Therapy Beneficial for Juvenile Localized Scleroderma
|Wednesday, 20 February 2013 00:03
Researchers in Italy evaluated 65 patients with Juvenile Localized Scleroderma (JLS; or morphea) previously enrolled in a double blind, randomized control trial and treated for the first 3 months with oral methotrexate (MTX; 15 mg/m2 weekly) and prednisone (1 mg/kg daily, maximum 50 mg). Clinical evaluation, infrared thermography and computerized skin scores were used to evaluate lesions.
Patients were defined as responders if they satisfied criteria including no new lesions, skin score rate less than 1 and a decrease in lesion temperature by at least 10% compared with baseline. Maintaining responder status after stopping treatment for at least 6 months was classified as clinical remission (CR), and response maintained while taking MTX for at least 6 months defined CR on medication (CRM).
Fifty-eight patients (mean age, 9.4 years; 72.4% female) were followed up during a mean of 40.3 months; seven were lost to follow-up. Forty-eight patients were responders at the last follow-up, while 10 patients relapsed within 24 months of MTX initiation. Responders were evaluated every 3 to 4 months during a mean of 43 months. Thirty-five responders received MTX for a mean of 27.5 months and then maintained CR for 25.6 months or longer without MTX. Thirteen other responders were in CRM. Twenty-eight patients experienced mild MTX-related side effects, including nausea and headache, but maintained treatment.
Researchers cited difficulty in comparing data to previous studies because objective measures such as infrared thermography and computerized skin score were unavailable.
"Long-term maintenance MTX treatment is beneficial for localized scleroderma (morphea) in young patients and is generally well tolerated with rare occurrence of significant adverse events," the researchers concluded. "We recommend an initial 3 months of combined MTX-corticosteroid therapy and MTX treatment duration of at least 24 months to ensure a prolonged and sustained disease remission for the majority of the patients."

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
26 May 2010 01:54 GMT
Pyongyang's announcement came after South Korea reportedly resumed propaganda broadcasts into North Korea - following a break of six years.
Heightened tensions
Tensions have risen sharply over the sinking of the Cheonan on March 26 off the west coast of the Korean peninsula, that left 46 South Korean sailors dead.
The attack was South Korea's worst single military loss of life since the 1950-53 Korean War.
Earlier reports said that North Korea had ordered its armed forces to be placed on combat alert.
The order came directly from North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-il, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said on Tuesday, quoting sources inside the North.
South Korea has said it will no longer tolerate provocations from the North after a multinational investigation pinned the blame for the Cheonan's sinking on a North Korean torpedo attack.
North Korea has threatened "all-out war" in response to any moves to punish it.
Paul Chamberlin, the president of Korea-US Consulting Inc, told Al Jazeera: "The situation with North Korea is always dangerous to some extent.
"We should remember that in January of last year, North Korea declared that all of the previous inter-Korea agreements were nullified. That included a non-aggression pact. So this kind of belligerent talk is not unusual.
"When they attacked the Cheonan, that was clearly, by any definition or perspective, an act of war.
"What the North is doing now is trying, in the eyes of its ruling elite and public, to make virtue out of necessity."
South's retaliation
As part of its retaliatory steps, South Korean army engineers began installing loudspeakers on Tuesday along the border with the North, with plans to also construct 11 giant electronic signboards.
The South Korean defence ministry said it resumed the FM radio broadcasts on Monday evening, starting with a four-hour programme entitled Voice of Freedom, which was being aired three times a day.
A spokesman told the AFP news agency the programme included messages on freedom and democracy from a military anchorwoman, a song from a South Korean girl band extolling freedom of choice, and pointed comments on how obesity rather than hunger is a problem in the South.
The UN chief has joined the US in ratcheting up pressure on North Korea, calling for action from the Security Council in response to the Cheonan incident.
Speaking at UN headquarters in New York on Monday, Ban Ki-moon said there was "overwhelming and deeply troubling" evidence that Pyongyang was behind the .
"My sincere hope is that this will be dealt with by the Security Council, and they should take necessary measures on this matter," he said.
"There must be some major step to be taken. The evidence is quite compelling. There is no controversy."
Ban's comments came after Washington announced that US forces would conduct joint naval exercises with South Korea "to ensure readiness and to deter future aggression" by North Korea.
The announcement of the military exercises came after South Korea's president vowed that North Korea would pay the price for what he called its "brutality" in the sinking.
Commercial sanctions
In a televised address on Monday, Lee Myung-bak said: "I solemnly urge the authorities of North Korea ... to apologise immediately to the Republic of Korea [South Korea] and the international community".
He ordered a ban on all trade, investment and visits with North Korea and stopped the North's commercial shipping trade using cheaper routes through waters controlled by the South.
The US has some 28,000 troops based in South Korea, while North Korea is believed to have around one million soldiers in what is one of the largest standing armies in the world.
However, despite their numbers of personnel, experts say the North's armed forces are poorly equipped and it is unlikely to risk full scale combat against much better armed US and South Korean troops.

Sony Cyber-shot H400 pictures and hands-on
Looking for a huge zoom? Then look no further. The Sony Cyber-shot H400 has a whopping 63x optical zoom lens that provides a 24.5-1550mm equivalent focal length. But can it deliver as big as its features suggest?
Sadly, no. We got to play with the H400 ahead of its official announcement and, rather disappointedly, found that it's one of those cameras trying to bite off more than it can chew. Having a huge focal length available is one thing, but actually being able to utilise it with success is another. And even when snapping long shots out of the window in the middle of the - admittedly grey, overcast and rainy - day it was tricky to get any snapped steadily at the 1550mm equivalent.
After flipping the camera around to face indoors and the autofocus system slowly slipped back and forth while hunting out a point of focus and usually failed to do so. It's far from Sony's finest in performance terms.
The trick is to not use all of the available zoom. But then that partly defeats the purpose of having a 63x optical zoom installed in the first place when we're suggesting capping its use to the point where autofocus is more reliable and faster. A model better set for that, really, is the earlier H200 - a camera with a 26x optical zoom.
The thing that will gather the H400 attention is its price point: it will cost £250 when it launches this April. For that money there is a lot on offer, such as a built-in electronic viewfinder that, despite being small and of limited resolution, we did find handy for using to compose shots.
We can't throw any major moans at the build quality considering the price point, and we like the inclusion of a li-ion rechargeable battery at this price. But otherwise this 20.1-megapixel CCD sensor snapper just failed to impress us. The 63x lured us in, but we unhooked when we looked deeper.

Vatican hosts soccer tournament

ROME–The fans were pious. The players bound for glory. And the victory? A miracle.
Priests and seminarians from several soccer-loving countries took to a field near the looming dome of St. Peter's Basilica yesterday for the first match of the Clericus Cup, a tournament fielding 16 teams from Catholic institutes in Rome.
"You are playing in view of St. Peter's cupola, so behave well," admonished Cardinal Pio Laghi before giving the official kickoff at a small arena on a hill overlooking the Vatican.
In Italy, soccer is a hallowed game, taken almost as seriously as Catholicism, and the players were all business once the whistle was blown.
Amid screams from the coaches, pious slogans from the small crowd and T-shirts invoking the protection of the Virgin Mary, a motley crew of Latin Americans, Africans and Asians from the Collegio Mater Ecclesiae (Mother of the Church College) took on an all-Brazilian team fielded by the Gregorian University.
In a miraculous upset, the young Mater Ecclesiae players trounced the more experienced but portly Brazilians 6-0 as their fans chanted: "The Mother of the Church wants a goal!"
The game had its share of hard tackles and rough play, with the first goal coming from a penalty kick – the second in the match.
Still, in the end it was all handshakes and smiles between the teams, in what officials and players hope will set a good example for Italian professional soccer, which has been recently marred by fan violence and scandal.
The Clericus Cup should "reaffirm the educational and pastoral value of sport," and "strengthen feelings of true friendship and fruitful sharing," said a message from Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican's No.2 official.
Even as Italy's national team was making its successful run for the World Cup last summer, club soccer at home was ravaged by a match-fixing scandal that led to sanctions against several top teams.
Earlier this month, rioting at a game in Sicily caused the death of a policeman.
"We have lost but we are all laughing, and this shows that sport should be a joy for all," said Reginei Jose Modolo, a 32-year-old midfielder on the Gregorian University team.
The matches last one hour, and teams are allowed one timeout and, besides the traditional yellow and red card, the referee brandishes a blue card, which gives errant players a five-minute suspension.

Love it, but there's a bug... Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Granted, the bug is in FF 1.5 (haven't tried 3), if FF is the default browser and another application opens a browser window, a super-minimized window opens along with your browser window.
Otherwise, I do like it. To those of you who say it's useless, keep in mind that not all of us like tabbed browsing. I like the multiple stimuli, I function much better with it. I'm perfectly able to focus only on the windows I'm concerned with at any given time. Not to mention if you ever have to describe something in another window, or copy text from an image or video, you need a windowed interface.
I really do appreciate this effort. With Firefox overtaking IE in popularity I feel us window-style browsers will eventually be left out in the cold.

Very knowledgeable and professional employees. Family atmosphere. Gilbane University knowledge sharing center.
When times are hard, you never know when you will be laid off, and a young kid hired in your place for a low salary. To me, this kind of philosophy does not make too much sense, but anyway I have seen it happening at Gilbane. Senior construction professionals with 5-15 years under their belt were laid off and recent graduates were brought on site to continue their job, even without seasoned employee's supervision.
Advice to Management
Do all you can to keep your best assets - your loyal competent employees. Even if times are hard, it still makes no sense to hire low competency recent graduates and to lay off your loyal hard working employees. You know very well that it takes years and years until a recent graduate can do the job of a 10-15 years construction industry veteran. Until last year, loyalty from the company towards employees was a big deal at Gilbane. It was said that if you work hard and you do your job honestly, you will not be laid off. In my opinion, this changed last year when I have seen the type of employees and how many Gilbane laid off. 90% of the ones I talked with, are already hired by other companies, but in the mean time they lost trust in the company they were loyal to for so many years.

I'm running them through Xonar DG. I didn't mean the Pro 80 has literally no bass, I just didn't feel it had the oomph that the song asked for. Obviously the MH463 doesn't sound like a bass heavy headphone, it just delivers when it needs to. I should also mention that when the track does ask for some thumping and/or deep bass it doesn't even slightly overpower the rest of the spectrum which, for the price, is amazing. Like I said, it feels and sounds better in every way than the Pro 80 imo. Their open design also makes them feel more neutral and detailed, while still retaining a really fun sound signature.

How about these ones?? Somic Vienna V2, they look exactly same as MH463 but with an additional option of foam pads. But costs around $100.

How about these ones?? Somic Vienna V2, they look exactly same as MH463 but with an additional option of foam pads. But costs around $100.
There is also a V1 model which seems like the MM163 with MM185 pads.
If this is the only difference than there are a number of similar pads that can be purchased separately.
As for V2, it is stated that the driver is smaller than MH463 - 42mm vs 50mm, but the impedance is higher - 54Ohm vs 45 ohm. The sensitivity rose 2dB, 95dB instead of the 93dB in the MH463.

Ok, so i have had these MH463s with the turtle beach pads for a long minute and have some issues with their sonic presentation. The highs are pretty dull and lifeless as well as too much mid bass/ sub bass hump which interferes a lot with the rest of the sonic spectrum. The soundstage is large but not as large as i had hoped it to be from fully open back can but the instrument separation is really good on these. Not completely satisfied with what i was hearing i attempted to mod them in order to resolve all the problems stated above. **WARNING** Pics galore after the break!!!
1st thing i noticed when i got the MH463s was that these cheapo Somics are pretty well built, great weight to them and they felt solid in your hands/ on your head. As a matter of fact toooo solid, this thing is pretty heavy when worn which causes some discomfort after some time.
.... i noticed that the headband area near the wing-plates could be pulled loose, so i took a peep under it and saw hard piece of rubber/ plastic inside. I unscrewed one side of the wing-plate on the headband and proceeded to pull the piece of rubber out. As you can see in the pic above the rubber piece seemingly is used to retain the shape/ hold the headband together. But to my surprise the headband did not fall apart after the rubber piece was pulled out. The weight of this rubber piece is pretty significant so no wonder these somics felt so heavy on the head. It feels a lot lighter after it is removed.
..... how the rubber headband piece looks like. My advice is to use some electrical tape/ masking tape, etc to wrap/ tape around the intersecting joints of the headband after you pull the rubber piece out. Would be best to just do one side 1st then go onto the other since you can lift/ pull the headband pleather back in order to get a better view/ handle. I didn't so it and the slider part of headband fell apart which took me some time to put back together. Not really that intricate but there is a small metal ball and a piece of tiny metal which contributes to the smooth sliding/ adjustment of the headband. If you lose those it's GG for you. LoL
........I still have not taped the internal joints of the headband but its still in one piece and is holding together, it was a post thought after the headband mod and i am too lazy to go back and do it now esp. after i stuffed the thing. After the rubber piece is out, the upper area of the headband is really deflated, so i proceeded to stuff it with some cotton. It would make it easier if you take off both wing-plates so you can stuff it more evenly from both sides. This is why it is pretty important to tape the intersecting joints of the headband under the pleather just in case you need to man handle it while stuffing and the headband will not fall apart on you. I stuffed it real good and lost count of how any cotton balls i used.
...... this is how the headband looks like after the cotton stuffing. These MH463s are a lot more comfy due to the reduced weight of the headband.
......have no idea why they used that heavy piece of rubber for the headband but i am glad it's gone, so even though it doesn't look as spiffy as it was originally they still look really professional.
to be continued.......................Next up!!! Sonic Mod.
A long long time ago, when this thread was just forming, @sfwalcer wrote this headband mod guide. I tried to follow it but wasn't pleased with the results mainly for aesthetic reasons. The mod did reduce the overall weight of the headphone and made it more comfortable due to the reduction in the clamping force, but made the headband look puffy weird. I decided to do it differently. I took the headband apart, got rid of the plastic parts that hold the pleather piece in place, got rid of the rubber piece, the pleather itself and the piece of sponge that is glued to the inner side of the headband's frame. I took a Bayerdynamic DT770, 880, 990 style headband pad and two small plastic wire organizing stripes. The stripes are used to hold the plastic rails for the extension mechanism in place. There are two grooves on every pair of rails, the inner and the outer, that the screws of the plastic parts that held the pleather in place were. I tightened the strips in those grooves so they will stay firmly in place. The Bayer headband pad on the Somic's headband creates a shape that conforms easier with the form of my head and makes the headphone much more comfortable.
A word of advice: "If someone is going to try this mod, be careful cause there are some very small parts in the adjustment mechanism that can easily be lost".
