How can ya complain about this in the living room?
Started out as a WLA (Army model), changed it over to a civilian look alike, or what I thought it would be. There wasn't any during the war years.
Ultra light weight, simple design, easy to work on, easy to ride, I got it for the old lady, she rode it... when it ran.
I don't care what it looked like, it was a total bitch to keep running right.

I have a very well equipped, hygienic, safe and secure, air conditioned dungeon very close to the Sydney CBD. The dungeon provides maximum privacy for you and I to share an amazing time together.
I also provide an out-call service either for a play session or as a date with dinner, or a show, and kinky play depending upon your fetish and subject to my limits. Until we build up a relationship, I only do out-calls for play sessions in 4.5/5 star hotels. You can find out more on my services page.
Whether you are new and are looking for something different, you are a very experienced and seek someone who can keep up with you, or you are somewhere in between, give me a call or email me to discuss how together we can explore your fantasies, fetishes and kink.
Some people, including both very experienced and others just beginning to explore BDSM have told me that, in my photos, I look a little too scary for their particular fetish … Who me? … They are looking for more of a kinky girl-next-door or dominant girlfriend experience (GFE) without the leather and lace. If this or something similar is what excites you more than the more edgy side of BDSM call me. I love all facets of BDSM, kink, fetish, and role play. I have many clients who prefer the the girl-next-door or kinky or dominant girlfriend experience as both in-calls and out-calls.

Records show that in February 2011, two of Oklahoma's largest tribal nations made a direct threat to sue over the state's high-profile sale of 90% of Sardis Lakes water rights to Oklahoma City for $42 million last June.
Since then, OKC has continued Sardis Lake development work even after a tribal attorney warned them that it was "profoundly unwise" and could spur a lawsuit that would strike at the heart of a decades-old dispute over water rights in Oklahoma, because tribal nations predate statehood.
Several tribal nations don't think the deal with OKC was legal and it was widely-believed that tribal lawsuits would follow the deal, but none have been filed, even after a direct threat to sue in February.
The Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes were exiled to southeastern Oklahoma 175 years ago and given land in the area. Gregory Pyle, chief of the Choctaw nation, said his tribe would sue to win some of the water if necessary. The tribes want the state to recognize them as joint owners. And their may be some hope.
A 103-year-old Supreme Court decision effectively put tribes in Western states at the head of the line in times of water shortage, or if a water basin is oversubscribed. If the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes were to gain water rights under that old court ruling, it could prompt a new push for similar rights across Oklahoma, which has 39 federally recognized tribes.
However, unlike four tribes whose rights were signed into law in the past year, the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations no longer have reservations, as they parceled it out t0 tribal members more than 110 years ago. This raises the question of whether water claims must be tied to a specific land grant or not. According to Stephen Greetham, lawyer for the Chickasaw Nation, "The water was never taken away."
When the Choctaw and Chickasaw did have reservations, their land covered virtually all of southeastern Oklahoma and was watered by the Kiamichi River, whose tributary, Jackfork Creek, was impounded by the Sardis Dam in 1982. The tribes' goals are to have some ownership and control over the water, to keep as much water as possible in the lake and to enhance southeastern Oklahoma's recreational industry.
But of course, that prospect is very unsettling to Oklahoma City and suburbs like Edmond who have already voted to issue $102.5 million in bonds to help bring Sardis Lake water 110 miles north. It is even more unsettling in the Southwest, where irrigated agriculture and industries consume most of the available water.
A leading Oklahoma water official said in an interview that he wanted to negotiate with the Choctaw and Chickasaw. "Certainly we're not foreign to the concept of sitting around the table and working things out with tribes and these tribes in particular," said the official, J. D. Strong, executive director of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the state's primary water agency. "It will happen if the leadership of this state wants to do that."
So far two Oklahoma governors — Brad Henry, a Democrat who left office in January, and his successor, Mary Fallin, a Republican — have not opened formal negotiations with the tribes over Sardis Lake. Alex Weintz, a spokesman for Governor Fallin, said in an e-mail that the governor was awaiting a report being prepared by the state water agency before deciding on her approach.
Other Oklahoma based tribes currently fighting for water rights include: The Apache in Oklahoma who have gone to federal court, so far unsuccessfully, seeking to sell or lease water to the Tarrant County water agency in Texas; and the largest Oklahoma tribe, the Cherokee, have received mixed signals from federal courts as to its rights concerning the Illinois River.

NEW YORK — The price of oil rose to its highest level in 14 months on concerns about possible disruptions to Middle East supplies and signs of an increase in U.S. demand for fuel.
U.S. benchmark oil gained $1.64 to $101.24, its highest close since May 3, 2012.
Brent crude, which is used to price oil used by many U.S. refineries to make gasoline, rose $1.76 to finish at $105.76.
Two events propelled the price of oil above $100 a barrel for the first time since the middle of September: unrest in Egypt, and a big drop in U.S. oil supplies.
Traders were worried that political upheaval in Egypt could slow the flow of oil from the Middle East to world markets. Embattled Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi vowed not to give in to protesters' demands for his resignation. But the head of Egypt's military announced late Wednesday night local time that Morsi will be replaced and new elections will be held.
Egypt is not an oil producer but it control of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes gives it a crucial role in maintaining global energy supplies. The Middle East accounts for about a quarter of the world's crude oil output, or 23 million barrels per day. About 2 million barrels of that, or 2.2 percent of world demand, are transported daily through the Suez Canal, which links the Mediterranean with the Red Sea.
Much of that oil is headed to Europe, but a supply drop anywhere in the world leads to higher prices everywhere.
"Markets tend to advance sharply on uncertainty and will often price in a worst-case scenario. This appears to be the case with the unfolding situation in Egypt," wrote Jim Ritterbusch, president of energy consultancy Ritterbusch and Associates, in a note to clients.
Some analysts suggested market reaction to the political crisis in Egypt was exaggerated.
"If there is one thing that the military has control of in Egypt it is the Suez Canal. We therefore do not see a significant risk for free passage on the waterway," said Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland.
In the U.S., the Energy Department reported Wednesday that crude supplies fell by 10.3 million barrels from the previous week, more than three times the drop that analysts had expected.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 7 mph
Stanley Leroy Ripley, 77, of Ripley Road, Waterbury Center, passed away at the Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin on Friday, March 9, 2007, following a period of declining health. Born in Waterbury Center on June 26, 1929, he was the son of the late Raymond and Agnes (Gray) Ripley. On August 23, 1952, he married the former Barbara Reagan at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Moretown.
Stan attended school in a small country schoolhouse located at the top of Loomis Hill in Waterbury Center. As a very young man, he helped his father on the family farm and while still in his teens, began his own canned milk collection business serving area dairy farmers needing to get product to the local creamery. Stan later worked for Cabot Creamery picking up milk throughout central Vermont.
A skilled woodworker, Stan went to work for Davison Fine Furniture in Waterbury and also the Stowe Canoe Co. Stan's home is filled with beautiful maple furniture he built while working at Davison's. Most recently, Stan was employed by the state of Vermont in the Buildings Division at the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury, retiring in 1997.
Stan served his country during the Korean War as an activated member of the Vermont Army National Guard, 206 Field Artillery from 1950 to 1952 stationed in Germany.
In his leisure time, Stan enjoyed hunting, woodworking, sugaring, and spending time at his camp on Lake Elmore. He was a member of Waterbury Grange #237. Family held a special place in Stan's heart. Truly his happiest times were in the company of his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and his siblings and family.
Stan is survived by his wife of nearly 55 years, Barbara Ripley of Waterbury Center; their children, Candace Kellett and her husband Peter of Waterbury Center, Darla Hartt of Waterbury Center, Darcy Woodruff and her husband John of Waterbury Center, Shawna Conoscenti and her husband Dale of Indianapolis, IN, and Kevin Ripley of Waterbury Center; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; three sisters, Pauline Lemery of Waterbury Center, Pearl Metayer of Hyde Park, and Jacqueline Beitzel of Hickory, NC; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family. Stan was predeceased by two sisters, Lorraine Calkins and Sylvia Ripley, and two brothers, Howard Ripley and Frederick Ripley.
Funeral services were held from the Waterbury Center Community Church on Wednesday, March 14, at 11 a.m. with a reception following in the church dining room. There will be no calling hours. Interment will take place this spring in the Waterbury Center Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts would be appreciated to Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice, 600 Granger Road, Barre VT 05641. To send online condolences, please visit www.perkinsparker.com.

At long last, iTunes 11 is finally available for download.
Apple was originally supposed to release iTunes 11 -- a total revamp of the longstanding music and apps manager -- in October. The launch was then delayed because of "engineering difficulties."
Reports surfaced earlier this week that Apple would release iTunes 11 within its promised November timeframe.
Since its debut in 2001, iTunes has morphed from a standard music player into something larger and more complex. It's no longer just a music player -- it's also an App store, a music and movies store and a way to manage iPod, iPhone and iPad devices.
In other words, iTunes has become a bloated, slow, unwieldy mess.
Whether or not iTunes 11 can solve all these problems is unclear. We'll report back later with a full hands-on review.
In the meantime, Mac users can grab the update from Software Update and on Windows by having iTunes "Check for Updates."
The software is also available for download directly from Apple -- though the download links may take a few minutes to propagate.

Californians shivering under cold snapThe Associated Press | January 13,2013SAN DIEGO Californians are bundling up with sweaters and gloves and stocking up on firewood as they brace for several nights of very unseasonable freezing temperatures.
The National Weather Service is forecasting morning frost on San Diego beaches. Big Sur, on the central coast, prepared for daytime highs almost 20 degrees below Bostons. Even the snowbird haven of Palm Springs faced the possibility of freezing temperatures at night.
In addition, San Diego zookeepers turned up the heat for chimpanzees, tourists covered their hands on Hollywood walking tours, and some farmers broke out wind machines and took other steps to protect crops from freezing.
Freeze warnings were in effect in San Diego County valleys and deserts Saturday morning with lows in the 20s and 30s, the weather service said.
In Sonoma County, homeless shelters started handing out extra warm clothes on Friday to protect people from freezing overnight temperatures.
Morning temps fell into the 20s and 30s in many areas, and much lower in the mountains. A low of 12 degrees was recorded in the Big Bear mountain resort east of Los Angeles.
Some customers drove more than an hour to buy firewood.
Its crazy busy here, said Renea Teasdale, office manager at The Woodshed in Orange, south of Los Angeles.
Still, it was business as usual as much of the state contended with temperatures in the high 40s and low 50s.
Its still sunny Southern California, and Im going to work on my legs all year long, said Linda Zweig, a spokeswoman for the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which is hosting a 5-kilometer run north of San Diego on Sunday. The lifelong San Diego-area resident is prone to wearing two sweatshirts when the temperature drops but refuses to give up on shorts.
In the San Joaquin Valley, the heart of Californias citrus production, growers prepared for another round of freezing temperatures late Friday after seeing little crop damage Thursday night.
They run wind machines and water to protect their fruit, which can raise the temperature in a grove by up to 4 degrees, said Paul Story, director of grower service at California Citrus Mutual. Existing moisture, sporadic rain and cloud cover can also help keep in heat.
Snow shut a 40-mile stretch of a major highway north of Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon, forcing hundreds of truckers to spend the cold night in their rigs and severing a key link between the Central Valley and Los Angeles.
The California Highway Patrol reopened the Grapevine segment of Interstate 5 some 17 hours later.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

LOS ANGELES — Churubusco native, Kayla Crance, isn't just gushing over "McDreamy," she's acting with him. Crance will appear on the upcoming season premiere of Grey's Anatomy, an ABC prime-time medical drama, starring Patrick Dempsey as Derek Shepherd, also known as "McDreamy."
Since graduating in 2011 from Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW), she's been working in some background acting and was fortunate enough to appear as a featured background actor in the Sept. 27 episode of Grey's Anatomy.
"I'm working on some background acting for other shows such as 'The New Normal,'" said Crance, a 2007 graduate of Churubusco High School.
Crance is currently in Los Angeles pursuing acting and other film and televison producing opportunities.
She said, "I'm doing background work on films and television shows when possible and hopefully getting ready to begin some acting courses at Playhouse West and trying to secure some auditions. I do try to come home to Indiana when possible, because it will always be home."
Leaving turtle town for the big city was a big chance for Crance. She said it was a bit overwhelming at times and it's been a big adjustment.
"'Busco is a very unique place to grow up and live so to be taken out of that environment is an interesting experience. To some degree, it has been alright because so many people out here are also artists and actors. The chances are good that you will find people that share the same interests and goals as you," said Crance.
"Sometimes you can still be very alone, even when you are in a huge city surrounded by people. But it is a really good feeling to step out of your comfort zone and make yourself go after your dreams."
Crance said that acting was something that tapped into her natural creativity.
"When I was younger, my best friend and I were always putting on little plays and filming our own little shows," said Crance.
"Around the same time, a friend of the family was looking for some kids to appear in a community theatre musical in the 'Busco area and asked me to be involved. I really enjoyed it and that sort of started my interest in theatre. After that, I started auditioning for community theatre shows and I would say that after my first real role as Imogene in 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever', I was hooked."
Crance went on to stretch her acting resume in high school. Whether she was working behind the scenes or in the spotlight, Crance was involved in each performance at the high school. She said she enjoyed each show, but there were two that stood out in her memory.
"In terms of the plays put on by the high school, I think my favorite role would have to be Mrs. Harkness in 'Thunder on Sycamore Street.' It is a pretty serious and dramatic play and it deals with some real issues. I enjoyed it because I sort of got to be the comedic relief and bring some laughs and fun to the show," said Crance.
"My first show, 'Will Rogers' Follies,' was also fun because I was really just in the chorus, but another student and I got to appear as the stage hands and we had a funny little scene of our own."
As the curtain would draw to a close each performance, Crance said that family and friends were her biggest supporters and the inspiration behind her becoming an actress.
"I always knew that I wanted to act. Whenever I watched a movie or television show and someone on the show really connected with me and feel for their character, it was inspiring to me, but my mom has also really inspired me. She has always been really supportive of me and encourages me to follow my dreams."
When Crance wasn't in the spotlight, she was running it. With her experience behind the scenes, Crance tried her hand at directing.
Crance directed shows at Churubusco High School while attending college. She said it was a learning experience, but she gained more confidence with each show she directed.
"Directing at the high school is really a difficult thing because you are basically wearing all of the hats. There is virtually no budget and not always a huge pool of crew to choose from. So, I found myself in charge of pretty much everything from set design and construction to the marketing and promotion of the show. I am a very organized person so it was right up my alley, but it was overwhelming at times. I like directing because I do like to organize things and be in charge and that is a good way to do that. It also offers another way to tell the story besides just appearing on stage,"Crance said.
More recently, Crance has focused more on film and television projects.
After being cast in a local independent film, "East of Nowhere," Crance was initiated into the inner network of local actors and found herself in Evansville.
"One of the directors of 'East of Nowhere' told me about a casting call for another independent film that was going to be filmed in Evansville. So I auditioned for a role and was cast in a leading role as the daughter of the main character. That movie was called 'Three Tears on Bloodstained Flesh,'" said Crance. "It's still in the post-production process, but we're hoping to see it soon."
Crance's goal now is to establish herself as a working actor and obtain an agent to represent her.
"I do enjoy being challenged so I like to find roles that make me work or are maybe non-traditional. I also enjoy writing little sketches and screenplays, very much like when I was younger, and would like to eventually start filming and making my own short films and productions."

1Password 4 for iOS, re-crafted from pixel to bit to keep your data conveniently secure
Turns out you can have security and convenience. Long time users have 1Password, the password manager for iOS and Mac, have long suspected that very thing. But the latest version, 1Password 4, proves it.
I've already written extensively about 1Password 4's vault view, so if you haven't already, go read that now. All done? Good, because there's more. There's a wonderful web view that you can access with a tap of the globe icon or, more viscerally, pull open from the side. In it you can browse to any website you like, use 1Password to enter login, identity, or credit information, and go about your business. And then you can slide right back to vault view.
Given the limitations imposed by iOS, which includes no browser plugins or in-app communications beyond URL schemes, it's about the best way to maintain strong, different passwords across the web without locking yourself out of your own stuff.
Overall, 1Password 4 is simpler. It's more elegant. It's better.
And it's available now.
(Yes, it's a new app. Yes, it's universal for iPhone and iPad. Yes, if you bought the old version, you still have to buy the new version. Yes, it's on sale for 50% off at launch so everyone gets upgrade pricing. Yes, that's the only option Apple allows. Yes, I bought it immediately because I want to support great developers so they continue to make great apps. Yes, if you like 1Password, you should absolutely buy it as well.)

1Password 4 for iOS, re-crafted from pixel to bit to keep your data conveniently secure
App Store runs off multiple servers. Sometimes it takes a while to hit all the different ones in the content distribution network. It downloaded fine for me, but might not be everywhere yet for everyone.
Sorry about that :(
I don't think they've announced when the next version of 1Password for Mac is coming out yet, but they have stated that if you purchase the current version through the Mac App Store, you will be able to upgrade to the next major release for free. (Reference: http://support.agilebits.com/discussions/1password-38-for-mac-from-agile...)
Yep, this is true.
I JUST spent a fortune on this password. The NON sale price. And then THIS?!? I get that Apple doesn't have features for app upgrades, but there has to be a better way than dumping the old app and creating a new one. It's frustrating, and they could simply hide the deep charge under a simple IAP. But instead, they dump the old software, leaving it in the dust. And it's not as though the old software was great, I bought it with the talks OF the upgrade, which is a massive tick off.
In reality there isn't any good way to offer an upgrade through in IAP. The new version of the app is entirely new, and is also universal (iPhone and iPad for once price, where as before you could purchase the iPhone or iPad versions or the "Pro" version which offered both, at a higher price, but better value). The word that the old, 1Password 3 customers (like myself) would need to pay again for the new, 1Password 4 has been out for a number of weeks now, and most people (while possibly annoyed) understood it. The same version has to be distributed to those updating as well as those purchasing fo the first time, and there isn't anyway for Agile to verify that you purchased the old version through an IAP in order to offer that pricing, as far as I know.
I agree that having to pay again is annoying, and 1Password certainly isn't the cheapest app of it's kind on the App Store, but in my opinion it's one of the best. The desktop and mobile sync works beautifully and the user interface on all versions is extremely nice.
Agile is doing everyone a favour here via offering the app at a considerable discount, so existing users can jump on board at a discount, and those on the fence can take advantage as well. They're at least making an effort to help us out, which I appreciate, and is why I purchased the new version immediately.
If you purchased after nov 15 they will do something for you just check their FAQ
Sorry about the weird link, everyone. It's fixed now.
Any indication if they improved the security of the app? The BlackHat report a couple months ago pointed out some deficiencies in their key management. The report is here: http://media.blackhat.com/bh-eu-12/Belenko/bh-eu-12-Belenko-Password_Enc...
Good question, Paul. This was addressed nearly a year ago when the paper was published:
And an update was issued within days to increase the PBKDF2 iterations among other things. The new version even has improved things even further. We will have more details about the specifics soon.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with: support@ agilebits .com
Khad Young, AgileBits
So, how is this better than eWallet?
Bought the app and love it :) Its definitly worth to upgrade.
Been waiting for 1Password 4. How do I transfer my existing 1Password 3 data into 1Password 4?
Watch out ewallet users. I just got 1password & can't import from ewallet. This is not a 1password issue, more ewallet's as they don't allow exporting to CSV.
Also the 1password windows software is shockingly slow and crashes all the time on Windows 8. use the trial before committing.
I currently use SafeWallet, which also doesn't export to CSV, so I'm going to try http://www.safe-in-cloud.com/p/download.html to convert the file to their format, then export to a CSV from there. Not sure if that will work for eWallet, but it might be worth a try.
Thanks, This works !!!. However as I've setup lots of custom fields in eWallet, I'm going to have to tidy up the CSV file before importing. Not sure if its worth the effort though.
Why are you upgrading from eWallet?
Is this better than eWallet? How?
Not sure if its better. I just want to check it out, I've already noticed you can't create custom fields like in ewallet. that is quite a biggie for me.
Ok, I'm having an issue with 1P4 not being able to edit in the Saved File section. Because of this, I can't use the built-in browser to log into one of my accounts correctly.
Also, I'm not a fan of having to use the Master password every time I log-in. I understand this makes it more like the desktop version, but I like the other way better (with shorten unlock code) for the mobile.

Anderson headlines 124 NJCAA student-athletes taken in MLB DraftJune 10, 2013
East Central CC (Miss.) shortstop Tim Anderson became the first of 124 NJCAA student-athletes to be selected in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft when he was taken with the 17th overall pick by the Chicago White Sox. The NJCAA has now had a student-athlete drafted in the first round in three of the last four years.
Anderson (right) became the seventh-highest drafted player to come straight from an NJCAA college and is the highest drafted shortstop since Glen Franklin of Chipola (Fla.) was taken with the ninth overall pick in 1978. Anderson is the third MLB first-round pick to come straight from an NJCAA program since Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was taken with the No. 1-overall pick in 2010 out of Southern Nevada.
Three NJCAA student-athletes were drafted in the second round. The Boston Red Sox selected Seminole State (Okla.) right-handed pitcher Teddy Stankiewicz with the 45th pick, while the Kansas City Royals followed with left-hander Cody Reed from Northwest Mississippi with the 46th pick. The Atlanta Braves used their 65th overall pick to bring in Miami Dade (Fla.) catcher Victor Caratini.
Providing the most picks in the draft were Miami Dade, Howard (Texas) and Western Oklahoma State who each had five players selected. Grayson (Texas), Seminole State (Okla.) and Weatherford College (Texas) each had four student-athletes taken. Texas colleges saw the most talent advance to the next stage in their career with 24 student-athletes going in the draft, while colleges from the state of Florida saw 22 players chosen.
Pitching continued to be the most sought-after position from the two-year collegiate ranks as 75 hurlers from the NJCAA were selected in the draft. NJCAA programs had 19 infielders and 19 outfielders picked, while nine catchers from the organization were taken.
All 30 Major League clubs drafted a player straight from an NJCAA college. The Texas Rangers brought in the highest number of NJCAA student-athletes with eight – followed by the Braves, Nationals and Kansas City Royals who each drafted seven.
With a total of 1,126 players being selected in the MLB Draft, over 10 percent of the players taken came from NJCAA colleges.

- Contrasting disease patterns in seropositive and seronegative neuromyelitis optica : a multicentre study of 175 patients (2012)
- Background: The diagnostic and pathophysiological relevance of antibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4-Ab) in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) has been intensively studied. However, little is known so far about the clinical impact of AQP4-Ab seropositivity. Objective: To analyse systematically the clinical and paraclinical features associated with NMO spectrum disorders in Caucasians in a stratified fashion according to the patients' AQP4-Ab serostatus. Methods: Retrospective study of 175 Caucasian patients (AQP4-Ab positive in 78.3%). Results: Seropositive patients were found to be predominantly female (p < 0.0003), to more often have signs of co-existing autoimmunity (p < 0.00001), and to experience more severe clinical attacks. A visual acuity of ≤ 0.1 during acute optic neuritis (ON) attacks was more frequent among seropositives (p < 0.002). Similarly, motor symptoms were more common in seropositive patients, the median Medical Research Council scale (MRC) grade worse, and MRC grades ≤ 2 more frequent, in particular if patients met the 2006 revised criteria (p < 0.005, p < 0.006 and p < 0.01, respectively), the total spinal cord lesion load was higher (p < 0.006), and lesions ≥ 6 vertebral segments as well as entire spinal cord involvement more frequent (p < 0.003 and p < 0.043). By contrast, bilateral ON at onset was more common in seronegatives (p < 0.007), as was simultaneous ON and myelitis (p < 0.001); accordingly, the time to diagnosis of NMO was shorter in the seronegative group (p < 0.029). The course of disease was more often monophasic in seronegatives (p < 0.008). Seropositives and seronegatives did not differ significantly with regard to age at onset, time to relapse, annualized relapse rates, outcome from relapse (complete, partial, no recovery), annualized EDSS increase, mortality rate, supratentorial brain lesions, brainstem lesions, history of carcinoma, frequency of preceding infections, oligoclonal bands, or CSF pleocytosis. Both the time to relapse and the time to diagnosis was longer if the disease started with ON (p < 0.002 and p < 0.013). Motor symptoms or tetraparesis at first myelitis and > 1 myelitis attacks in the first year were identified as possible predictors of a worse outcome. Conclusion: This study provides an overview of the clinical and paraclinical features of NMOSD in Caucasians and demonstrates a number of distinct disease characteristics in seropositive and seronegative patients
- The perfect crime? : CCSVI not leaving a trace in MS (2011)
- Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, believed to be triggered by an autoimmune reaction to myelin. Recently, a fundamentally different pathomechanism termed 'chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency' (CCSVI) was proposed, provoking significant attention in the media and scientific community. Methods: Twenty MS patients (mean age 42.2±13.3 years; median Extended Disability Status Scale 3.0, range 0–6.5) were compared with 20 healthy controls. Extra- and intracranial venous flow direction was assessed by colour-coded duplex sonography, and extracranial venous cross-sectional area (VCSA) of the internal jugular and vertebral veins (IJV/VV) was measured in B-mode to assess the five previously proposed CCSVI criteria. IJV-VCSA <= 0.3 cm2 indicated 'stenosis,' and IJV-VCSA decrease from supine to upright position 'reverted postural control.' The sonographer, data analyser and statistician were blinded to the patient/control status of the participants. Results: No participant showed retrograde flow of cervical or intracranial veins. IJV-VCSA <= 0.3 cm2 was found in 13 MS patients versus 16 controls (p=0.48). A decrease in IJV-VCSA from supine to upright position was observed in all participants, but this denotes a physiological finding. No MS patient and one control had undetectable IJV flow despite deep inspiration (p=0.49). Only one healthy control and no MS patients fulfilled at least two criteria for CCSVI. Conclusions: This triple-blinded extra- and transcranial duplex sonographic assessment of cervical and cerebral veins does not provide supportive evidence for the presence of CCSVI in MS patients. The findings cast serious doubt on the concept of CCSVI in MS.

Police confirm body found is that of suspected Phoenix shooter
PHOENIX -- Police have confirmed that a body found Thursday at the Mesa Riverview shopping center is that of suspected Phoenix shooter Arthur Douglas Harmon.
The body was found early Thursday morning, along with a rental car that the suspect had been driving. Phoenix Sgt. Steve Martos said a gunshot wound to the body appeared to be self-inflicted.
Mesa police spokesman Anthony Landato said a handgun was found at the scene.
Harmon, 70, is the chief suspect in a Wednesday shooting spree that left one man dead and five other people injured at 16th Street and Glendale Avenue.
A landscaper found the body in a parking lot at the center, near Loop 202 and Dobson Road.
Police conducted a search of Harmon's north Phoenix home at 28th Street and Acoma Drive after the shooting and learned he had left in a rented white Kia Optima. The license plate of that car matched that of the car found at Riverview.
No other information was immediately available.

MATEWAN — Former heavyweight boxing champion of the world James "Buster" Douglas will appear at a benefit concert for a young 15-year old cancer patient from the Matewan area.
Ryan Dotson is battling the disease. Many pictures are being shared on Facebook of people in three-point football stances in support of Ryan.
A musical benefit will be held at the Matewan Fairgrounds Rotary Pavilion on Rt. 49 for Dotson starting at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13.
Douglas will have autographed boxing gloves and pictures that will be auctioned off to help raise more funds for Dotson's medical bills. John Johnson, a native of Red Jacket, was Douglas' manager when he shocked the world and defeated Mike Tyson for the heavyweight title.
Johnson, who also has ties to Ohio State University, has also obtained a football autographed by Archie Griffin. Griffin is the only 2-time Heisman Trophy winner in the history of college football and is currently and assistant AD at Ohio State. Johnson has also gotten an autographed football from the Oakland Raiders.
There will also be other items to be auctioned or raffled off including books written by Appalachian authors from Woodland Press. All of the proceeds go toward the medical bills for Dotson.
Dotson has been undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments at the University of Kentucky. He is a student at Mingo Central High School. Before that, he attended Matewan Middle School where he played football.
The Dotson family lives at North Matewan. His mother Andreana Dotson said her son started playing football in the Matewan Little League when he was 5-years old. He has a birthday coming up on October 10, when he will turn 15.
Ryan also has played baseball since he was five.
"He loves playing football most of all," his mother said. Thus all of the Facebook photos from hundreds of people supporting "Team Ryan" on that social network website.
Local musician L.E. Simpkins is organizing the musical event. He has pulled in several talented local singer-songwriters who have put out several CD's. An area native, Greg "Jeep" White, who now resides in Charleston, South Carolina, will perform his original songs from his recent CD "Low Country."
Local musician-songwriter Glen Simpson and his friend Glen Dillon will also perform.
"All of our performers will be on stage at that point for one big band," Simpkins added.
A donation of $5 per person will be asked at the gate. Children 12-and-under get in free. There will also be a concession stand and all proceeds will go towards Ryan's medical bills.
Anyone wanted to send a donation can mail it to Andreana Snell Dotson, P.O. Box 152, North Matewan, WV 25688. A bank account is also being set up this week and more information will be released on that at later date.
The performers will have their CDs available and any proceeds will go towards Ryan's medical fund.
Simpkins thanked several sponsors for the benefit which include: David Akers, David "Dadoo" Cook, Linda's Video and Lottery, Tony Carico, Tony's Body Shop, Elizabeth Smith of Forest Hills Quilting, RC's Country Store, Keith and Paula Blankenship, and the Matewan Rotary Club for their support and use of the venue.
"We want to see a lot of folks there and hope this will be a successful benefit," Simpkins said. "I hope everyone will help spread the word."

The City of Bryan says it's close to a deal with what would be the biggest manufacturer to set up shop in Bryan.
Discussions are under way with a company looking to build a steel mill at Texas Triangle Park near F-M 2818 and Highway 6 in north Bryan.
It's not yet known exactly how many employees will be needed, but city officials say this deal could put hundreds of people to work.
City officials are very excited about this.
News 3 spoke with Bryan Mayor Jason Bienski Monday afternoon and he says the agreement is still being worked on.
The city is not revealing who's coming yet but a major announcement on the business is expected as early as Tuesday.
A first of its kind business in Bryan / College Station is aiming to set up shop at Texas Triangle Park.
The industrial area in north Bryan near 2818 and Highway 6 is an inland port with access to Highway 6 and rail transport.
News 3 has learned Bryan City officials are negotiating a deal to bring a steel mill to the area.
Bryan Mayor Jason Bienski couldn't release all the pending details yet, but says the upcoming announcement will be big.
"Our job as elected officials is to provide good job opportunities for our community and these will be another avenue in addition to everything going on in the Biomedical Corridor. And all the high end jobs that we're working on. We'll have some manufacturing jobs for our community," said Mayor Bienski.
While final details on the steel mill are still being ironed out, the latest addition here at Texas Triangle Park is almost completely finished with construction, as Gunler Foods gets ready to open up for business.
Dennis Goehring is the Executive Director of the Bryan Business Council.
Gunler Foods will manufacture here and then ship their cooking oil products to Mexico.
"We are still waiting on the equipment to come in that has not arrived yet and of course that'll take some time. But they are looking forward to getting started sometime this summer and looking at about 222 employees," said Goehring.
The new company being announced this week is based out of the country. Their name hasn't been released yet.
"Again probably the largest manufacture ever to locate in Brazos County so this is a big deal. It will be a big day for Bryan, Brazos County," said Mayor Bienski.
If a final agreement is reached, construction could begin later this year.
We will let you know as soon as an official announcement is made.
The announcement is expected to happen at 10 A.M. Tuesday.
