-Club Penguin Team
Thank you and same to you Themlz73048
Awesome!I love fireworks!WADDLE ON!!
That explains the fireworks. I also have some questions. I would ask support but I would like to hear this from someone like PoloField. When will the penguin band come back? Is the fact that card jitsu water's music is gone a bug or not? I liked the old battle music. Thanks!
I know what it is! Even though I don't celebrate it, it's called Diwali.
The fireworks are brilliant!
I love when the Fireworks are in Club Penguin. All the times I wait for my favorite shape. The puffle!!!!
I love the fireworks
Awesome!! I am enjoying it!
Great! Can't wait to get a Gold Puffle!
Gold Puffle?
Are you sure it is a gold Puffle?
Love it! :D
It is awesome to see the fireworks again! I will enjoy them with my friends.
The fireworks are awesome!
I haven't been on cp in a few days which is rare for me! LOL but tomz ill be straight on it !!!
:-) looks s much fun -kate0012
Hi everyone! I'm snowball and I was wondering, do the Club Penguin team have the fireworks because of the festival in real life or is it the start of a new party OR is it just a new Club Penguin feature?
I think that they do it every year around this time, thogh I may be wrong. THey did it last year too I think, and in 2007 based on some old information I came across.
Good question! We added some fun fire works to celebrate the Festival of Lights which is happening right now in India. We are always working on ways to include our global community.
-Club Penguin Team
This just makes me even more excited for Christmas and new year!!!!
i think i know why there is a shape of a puffle in the fireworks (there is a new puffle coming soon)
yes, If that is COOL and master brother-in-law at the end the puffle appears, it is AWESOME
Cool fireworks
Fireworks are so cool and I loved the b-day song. My b-day is Oct.6 so I really love.
Happy Belated Birthday!!!
- Club Penguin Team
WOW! I gotta go on cp now on my laptop!!! EKKKKK!! :-)
the shape its a one eyed puffle which means the new puffle is a one eyed puffle cool
It's not a one-eyed Puffle. If you loo closely, you can see the Puffle has TWO eyes. It's made out of dots, so it can't have lines. Also, it won't be a one-eyed Puffle anyway, because everyone said it's gonna be a Gold Puffle.
what is it for? i cant wait to check it out !
Awesome! I haven't seen the FireWorks yet but still cool! Also, me and my pal, Shift Key, wanted to know why the POTD didn't come out for Oct. 26 and Oct. 27. If it did come out, why didn't it show on my computer? I just wanted you to know about this. It isn't the first time it has happened. But the 26 was my birthday and I wanted to know who POTD was. Thanks for your time! (Lol)
The 26th was my birthday too! How cool is that?
hey can the next party be a rare party;like the catalog is old stuff and the town and stuff is what is did look like a few years ago this is random and if u don't do it is okay but please read it and respond pleave
Can you make a catalog for the school- Cp- if do thanks a lot!

Dear cp
im getting suspicion about a golden puffle because of puffle fireworks and apparently a puffle thing this month
we are currently celebrating festival of lights, actually it's name is 'Diwali'. it's celebrated as diwali or dipawali at India. we are currently having this. Cool CPT
Hmm,Puffles.Operation Puffle! EPF!
I really like the fireworks, but I have a question. What happened to the Saint Patrick`s Day party and the April Fools party?
Oh, and by the way, would it be possible to bring back the Festival of Flight? I really liked that party.
Ikr? I want there to be another St. Patricks Day and Earth Day Party. They were supposed to have the Earth Day Party this year but they canceled it):
I love the fireworks!
Will they be here forever?
Perfect for celebrating new year......
i wish everyone a happy Diwali!
I missed the fireworks cause I was out and the computer didn't work. :( :( :(
The fireworks are a wonderful addition to Club Penguin, bringing joy to the website. Everyone will be celebrating their differences, which is what we want to happen! I am so glad that this came out on my 13th birthday. It was the best present I could ever receive. Thank you Club Penguin for making this game an enjoyable experience. I can't wait to see what will happen next. :)
- Chucker321
Happy bonfire night! Also happy birthday sis and happy birthday to my friends bro! If it's your birthday then...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

PLEASE! I REALLY LOVE THOSE MOVIES! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for both! Waddle on!
Err how do I get to the iceberg. If you get me to the right place I will love you forever
In India they are celebrating Diwali maybe that's why you guys added fireworks?
Hi my name is Logkac and i have an idea.
if you want to make club penguin even better than next year when we do the club penguin anniversity we could make it to where you could get all the hats that have been on club penguin before and have a chance to use the jackhammers at the mine.
we could make it to where member penguins get to by fireworks for their igloo to make it look even cooler!
Dear The ceraters of cp,
I want you to know that my Birthdays coming up (: so its on January 9th so can you have like something like the fireworks
Thanks So Much! I appreciate this a lot! I as a Indian and cp fan always wished you would do this and now you have! Thanks!
i am indian thanks for making a indian festival on club penguin.
To Club Penguin Team,
Did you get the idea of fireworks from the Indian festival of "Diwali" ?
I'm pretty sure the puffle is going to be a gold:)
HI! Polo Field I am the greatest fan of you well how are you?
Best wishes to all the club penguin team.
Yours Pal
I like the idea of Fireworks. It brightens up the place! Do you agree?
I love the fireworks!!! I don't know about you, but I think they have a secret.... One time I went to the ski hills, and I saw the fireworks. Then I went to my house and went to wash my yellow puffle, Fin. Then once I did that, ALL of his stat bars fill all of the way up!!! So I think there cool.
At first I thought it was for club penguins birthday btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY CP
as the firer wlorks are so nice and they shine in the world its so nice to see them on.
Those fireworks are AWSOME!!!
2 things, 1:where are they coming from? 2:why?
When a bunch of fire ninjas gathered and make fire on their hands,FIREBALLS flew across the sky.Why?
Its gonna be Diwali in India and that is called Festival of Lights.Thats why there are fireworks.Its our Indian festival

The Brooklyn Museum has finally confirmed it will host a pop-up Louis Vuitton shop to coincide with its Takashi Murakami exhibit starting next month. They've also put select items online to whet your appetite until the exhibit kicks off on April 4, like the super-adorable cushions and T-shirt above. But the real stars of the store will be the "monogramouflage" Vuitton handbags, which will sport a new monogram pattern created by Murakami. Images of the collection haven't been released, but we're kind of hoping the flower products online are a sneak preview. They could very well pop up in some form on the new Vuitton goods. Then again Marc Jacobs and Murakami could throw customers a curveball and cover the new bags in funny pink anime faces. We can't wait!

No Olympic ceremony would be complete without a torch run. The relay, first started in 1936, always starts in Athens where the games originated and makes its way to that year's site.
The Special Olympics are no different. On Friday, they will host the Flame of Hope Torch Run to kick off the opening ceremony for the 2013 South Carolina Mid-Winter Games at Brittlebank Park.
"It's a flame of hope and that's what we want to instill in our athletes," said Special Olympics volunteer Heather Boger of West Ashley.
Boger said the run is important because it sets the mood for the games.
"The athletes love it. It's something that gets them excited for the games," she said.
Law enforcement will alternate carrying the torch, which can get quite heavy along the 2.3 mile run.
Local Special Olympics athletes Kyle McFarland and Trampus Hoover will light the cauldron during the opening ceremony that will include music, dancing and words of encouragement.
Boger said that because many of the athletes work during the weekday, the run and opening ceremony will be held Friday night and the athletes will compete over the weekend.
She said it's important for people to show their support not because it's a Special Olympics event, but because all populations should be supported.
"You will never run into better individuals than our athletes. It's a welcoming feeling. These athletes have worked hard just like any other athlete," she said.
The games bring together 1,400 athletes from all over the state to compete in masters bowling, badminton, basketball skills, basketball team play, power lifting, disc golf, unified bowling and the young athlete event.
For more information, go to so-sc.org/mid-winter-games.

We know that James Franco's gay prostitute story is only going to fuel rumors that our future husband is gay, but lordy, how we don't care right now. While on Inside the Actor's Studio this week, Franco explained that he was hanging out with a gigolo named Sonny to prepare for a role and, well, "He took me on one of his jobs." We didn't even have to turn that into a double entendre to make it filthy! Our favorite part of the video is when James Lipton screams, "We certainly do!" as he encourages Franco to tell the story. In that one moment, James Lipton represented the America public: one classy, bespectacled voice screaming for all.
Said a bashful James, "So I did…and it went down. Everything went down like you see in the movies." Not only is James Franco intensely dedicated to his craft, but we both like the same movies! So, just to recap: James Franco watched a gay prostitute have sex with a client, and then talked about it on Inside the Actor's Studio. We don't know which part is making our brain explode more. Okay, yeah we do: it's the gay sex part.

To see in London: The London Transport Museum
Published: Friday 16th of October 2009
After a busy day of London sightseeing, hop on the underground to the London Transport Museum and learn about the tube system that has been taking you to and from London attractions.
A new exhibition, titled Suburbia, opened at the London Transport Museum this week, exploring how public transport helped to create the myths and identity of suburbia and how it has featured in the cultural fabric of London and Britain over the last 100 years.
The exhibition looks at how transport has shaped the suburbs and uses a series of unique displays to celebrate suburban lifestyle, architecture, design and popular culture.
Previously unseen posters, photographs, early publicity material, signs and maps will give a historic context, supported by film and interviews with suburbanites past and present.
Suburbia displays complement the museum's permanent gallery which tells the story of the early 20th century Suburban Dream.
The London Transport museum is located at the corner of Covent Garden Piazza and is close to the Covent Garden, Charing Cross and Leicester Square tube stops.
Covent Garden is just a 20 minute walk, or eight minute tube journey, from London shopping on Oxford Street.

If you were to walk into my sister's house in Los Angeles, you'd hear a bit of yelling from time to time. "Luca! Get off Minecraft! Luca, are you on Minecraft again? Luca! Enough with the Minecraft!"
Luca is my 8-year-old nephew. Like millions of other children his age, Luca is obsessed with the video game Minecraft. Actually, obsessed might be an understated way to explain a child's idée fixe with the game. And my sister, whom you've probably guessed is the person doing all that yelling, is a typical parent of a typical Minecraft-playing child: she's worried it might be rotting his brain.
For those who have never played Minecraft, it's relatively simple. The game looks a bit crude because it doesn't have realistic graphics. Instead, it's built in 16-bit, a computer term that means the graphics look blocky, like giant, digital Lego pieces.

Malawi's government says it isn't swayed by international outrage over the arrest of a gay couple last month.
Amnesty International and gay rights group Outrage are among the organizations that have called for the release of Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga. The two men held a symbolic engagement ceremony on Dec 26 and were arrrested soon after. They were charged with "unnatural practices between males and gross public indecency," and they face up to 14 years in prison.
In a statement released yesterday, Malawi's Information Minister Leckford Mwanza Thotore said the men were "clearly breaking the laws of Malawi," reports AP.
"As government we cannot interfere in the court process," Thoto said. "We depend on our Western friends, yes, but we are a sovereign country."
The Dec 28, 2009 issue of Malawian newspaper The Nation. Pictured: Monjeza (left) and Chimbalanga (right).
The gay couple's lawyers have requested a constitutional review of the country's ban on homosexuality. A verdict is expected next month.

Introduction to Wireless Sensor Networks
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices that use sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions. These autonomous devices, or nodes, combine with routers and a gateway to create a typical WSN system. The distributed measurement nodes communicate wirelessly to a central gateway, which provides a connection to the wired world where you can collect, process, analyze and present your measurement data.

CHEYENNE - Walk-in area fishing atlases for 2014 are now available online on the Game and Fish website at wgfd.wyo.gov. A walk-in-area is a tract of private land or inaccessible public land on which the Game and Fish has leased rights for fishing.
The Walk-in program has been responsible for establishing access to streams and lakes and ponds throughout Wyoming. The atlas contains maps showing a listing of the various walk-in fishing areas the species of fish available in each area.
The walk-in atlas contains 60 fishing spots in11 drainages. Fishing atlases are valid for the calendar year. According to the Game and Fish areas now available through the walk-in fishing access program encompass nearly 5,000 acres of lake/pond access and more than 100 miles of stream access on private lands. Many of these areas allow anglers to get through private lands to get to public lands where much more access is available.
The Walk-in fishing areas supplement the more than 100 places to fish that anglers can access through Game and Fish public access easements and Game and Fish wildlife habitat management areas. In addition, Wyoming has extensive public fishing opportunities on National Forest, Bureau of Land Management and Wyoming State lands.
Walk-in fishing areas are part of the same public access program that provides walk-in and hunter management area access for hunting on private lands.
The walk in program is funded to a large extent through the Game and Fish AccessYes program from contributions of anglers and hunters usually at the time of license purchase and application.

Top Ten Myths of LEDs: #5 – "LEDs color-shift with time"
In the early days of white-emitting LEDs, the available chip packaging materials were ones developed decades earlier for use with red- and green-emitting devices. Unfortunately, when using those materials for blue-based white LEDs (blue LED + phosphors), unexpected problems arose. The epoxy resins typically used as the lens encapsulation for the LED chip were photosensitive to the new blue emission. They absorbed small amounts of blue light and reacted chemically in a way that increased the light absorption further, leading to a runaway effect that ultimately resulted in the epoxy turning yellow and then brown. The first observation wasn't so much a decrease in light output, but rather a change in color, which is fairly unacceptable when it comes to general lighting applications requiring white light.
Eventually, the packaging materials were improved (the industry moved away from epoxies, towards more robust silicones) and solutions for these color shifts became available. Nevertheless, concern over color stability with LEDs remained – consequently, color maintenance became an important requirement for many critical lighting standards, such as the EPA's Energy Star program.
The good news is that state-of-art LEDs provide extremely tight color maintenance capability. At Soraa (and other top-tier LED companies), we spend considerable time and effort to test our LEDs with the packaging materials needed for our lighting products, ensuring that any color shifts are well below the required limits throughout the warrantied life of our products which, unlike traditional light sources, can be as long as 25,000 hours or more.

Online resources continue to shape every aspect of our lives, and are enriching, extending, and transforming schools. Web pages today measure in the billions, and the demand for education information has never been greater or more complicated. To help you decipher and prioritize what's out there, here is the newly-revised DA guide to favorite education websites.
A student convinced Blackhawk School Board members to videotape their meetings and post the video to the school's website. Matt Young, a junior who made a presentation, told the board videos will increase public access and awareness.

The school day is about to get longer for some New York City school kids — and we're not talking a couple of minutes. It's about to be two and a half hours longer.
While mastering certain skills—like the ability to write a cohesive essay, or to solve basic logic puzzles—is helpful, and necessary to any entrepreneurial venture, entrepreneurship can only be learned through hands-on experience.
On Monday, Gov. Rick Scott signed a sweeping education bill that will revamp the state's high school graduation requirements and place new emphasis on coursework that prepares students for high-tech careers.
Moore County commissioners seem inclined to pay for part of the school system's digital learning initiative, but they want to see results before committing to future funding.
At the commissioners' critical issues summit Thursday, they indicated they want the school system to pay for more of the effort.
During its first year of operation, Florida Virtual School had 77 students. The next year, it had 476 students; then 2,489 students the year after that. Now, Florida Virtual School is a national brand, becoming the top online-course provider in America and serving tens of thousands of students every year, all over the country.
The first thing Bartow County Virtual Academy students learn is that online classes aren't as easy as A, B, C. They're also not for everyone. Those also were early lessons for district administrators who opened the academy in January 2012 to 50 students in a former high school located an hour northwest of Atlanta.
Imagine access to your district's email system on mobile devices tripling in two weeks. This is what Deb Karcher, CIO of Miami Dade Public Schools and her team faced after Christmas 2012.

Gear Question
Jane Hines
i normally wear a 9 1/2 wide so is a size...
i normally wear a 9 1/2 wide so is a size 40 correct to order?
Jane Hines
I normally wear a 9 1/2 wide , ok to order size 40, will the toebox be roomy enough?
I know you asked this question forever ago, but in case this helps you or someone else, here goes -
I wear an 8 1/2 and I always get size 40's for closed-back Dansko clogs. My foot is on the narrow side and I've tried the narrow Pro's, which are just a bit snug in the width so I've gone back to the regular width and my foot moves side-to-side just a bit more than I want, but I still love the fit overall. All that being said, the Phoebe is probably a bit diffeent because the elastic goring allows more leeway in the width and for a higher arch. but I'm still thinking that if you are a 9 1/2 you should try the 41's.
Hope this helps somebody! :)

Bobbi Brown Peony & Python Kit
Neiman Marcus Exclusive: Bobbi Brown Peony & Python Kit
Bobbi Brown Peony & Python Beauty Kit ($95.00) is an exclusive set available at Neiman Marcus this spring. It contains a peony and python printed zippered makeup bag, Pink Peony Illuminating Bronzer, Pink Lilac Brightening Gloss, Black Mauve Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, and two miniature-sized makeup brushes (face and lip).
- Pink Peony Illuminating Bronzer is a medium-dark pink with gold micro-glitter and sheen; it is slightly cool-toned, though it seems to shift between cool and neutral depending on how the light hits it. It applies rather sheerly but can be intensified for a more obvious blush.
- Pink Lilac Brightening Gloss is an ultra sheer gloss that really has a clear base with pink and gold shimmer. This shade is available individually.
- Black Mauve Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner is a blackened burgundy brown. This shade is available individually.
- Eye/Lip Brush is a miniature-sized brush with a glossy black cap that slips on and off. It's not officially labeled, but it seems like a really narrow lip brush–not quite small enough to be a true eyeliner brush though it does seem to resemble the Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush a bit.
- Face Brush is a fluffy, dome-shaped brush that resembles the Face Blender Brush. It seems wider and less tapered, though. It was soft against the skin.
The kit itself comes with a high price tag, but individually (though not all shades are available individually, the product type is), Pink Peony Illuminating Bronzer would retail for $33, Pink Lilac Brightening Gloss retails for $22, Black Mauve Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner is available for $21, and then assume $20 worth of brushes. The innards of the kit are worth approximately $96, but you also receive the printed makeup bag, too. There is a Peony & Python printed makeup bag available alone for $40, but I don't know how the size compares to the one from the Neiman Marcus kit.
The Glossover
Bobbi Brown Peony & Python Beauty Kit Review, Photos, Swatches
|It's a cute kit, and if you like every product in it, the price tag doesn't seem so difficult to pay. If you were hoping for a value-packed deal, this isn't quite it. The kit will complement cooler skin tones. I wish the Pink Peony Illuminating Bronzer was available individually!

I really think the heat is too high on this because I made something similar later on at a lower temp and didn't have anything like this happen. I'm still giving this four stars though because this is the best tamarind chutney I've ever tasted. If you don't have access to tamarind paste (I'm talking to you, my fellow rural Iowans!) then you can make a delicious substitute using 1 tablespoon each of dried, chopped apricots, dates and prunes. Pour boiling water on them and let them soak for fifteen minutes and then drain and puree them with one tablespoon lemon juice.
We did not care for this recipe. It was way too sweet and way too spicy. It did not thicken. The worst was the flavor though...not at all authentic to any Indian foods and flavors we have eaten. All we could taste was sugar and cayenne.

Delicious! I substituted onion powder for the asafoetida, and everyone still thought it was as tasty as any they'd had in a restaurant.
Wow, this was the best tamarind chutney ever!! Though not as easy as cilantro chutney, it's well worth it. I used olive oil instead of canola (it's what I had), and I made sure to heat the spices in the oil for long enough to really smell all of those spices. If you add the water too soon, you'll lose some of the flavor. I used onion powder in place of the asofe...(spice I can't even spell). Like some of the other reviews mentioned, I couldn't get the sauce thick enough without a little cornstarch. I actually simmered it for about an hour to reduce it, but still ended up adding a little cornstarch (teaspoon dissolved in hot water?), which made it a perfect consistency. Seriously, you can't buy stuff this good.
OMG!!!! YUMMY!!! was looking for "stuff" to put this on while it was cooling! I had a tamarind "block" so I probably used twice as much tamarind as the recipe calls for. Tangy, sweet, spicy- perfect: had it with onion pakora's as a start to our Indian meal. Of Note: recipe states makes 1 & 1/4 cups of chutney. Cook it down to this point and you wont need any cornstarch or such. Also use the cold plate method to check for consistency. Simply put a saucer in the fridge, when you think your sauce is done, put a small amount (1/4 t.) on the cold plate and place back in fridge. Wait a minute and check. If it is how you like it, pull from the heat or cook longer. Thanks for a simple recipe addition to my Indian arsenal, one more sauce I will never have to buy again. PS: Tamarind is a popular ingredient in Mexican cooking. Try those grocery stores for it. Hing or Asafoetida is an Indian staple, if you can't find it add a 1/4 t of garlic powder as a sub.
i had to add some cornstarch at the end because it wouldn't thicken, maybe i put in too much water, but the end result was great. thanks!
I REALLY loved this recipe. The tamarind can be found at most Asian food markets and I mix my own garam masala it is very simple to do yourself. I did not use the asafoetida, it is not important. I like that this really is to taste so if you want it hot add more pepper, or sweet add more sugar. This is my third time making it and it is perfect! Mine comes out perfect, if yours is too thin after 15 min you may not have added enough tamarind. You can always just add more.
This recipe was pretty good... I did add about a tablespoon of cornstarch and water since it didn't thicken for me at all after the 20-30 min. When cooled it was just the consistency of the tamarind chutney at the restaurants. I also added one star anise, broken up, an ingredient I saw in another tamarind recipe and I thought it enhanced the flavor. I added it at the end with the cornstarch after taste testing and thinking it needed something extra. Overall a great tamarind chutney.

Re: Make it hard for their customers, the customers will avoid the stores.
I feel your pain also bermuda,
Those days are gone!
I pretty much buy everything on the net now also.
I only go to the store to buy heads, sticks, mic cords, and things that I know that they stock.
Its better and easier to shop the net anyway.
I Google it, I find it, I buy it. Three days later I have it.
If I have a question I call the eStore and I ask someone who knows.
There is no way that a store could stock a full line of Agop cymbals being that only 1 in 1000 people that shop for cymbals will buy one.
I shopped every music store in Connecticut over about a one year period and I saw 4 Agop cymbals.
I bought 1 of them. It was used.
There are thousands of pieces of drum hardware on Musicians Friend.
No store could stock all of that.
Most of it is drop shipped when it is ordered.
I kind of like old drums:)

SANTA TERESA, N.M. (AP) - Federal authorities say a Mexican man with a criminal history has been arrested at the New Mexico border.
U.S. Border Patrol agents from the Santa Teresa Border Patrol Station said Monday that 38-year-old Isaac Mata Vizcarra was taken into custody for trying to enter the country illegally.
During processing, Vizcarra's fingerprints and biographical information were submitted to an automated identification system.
Authorities say records revealed that Vizcarra has previous convictions for criminal sexual contact with a child, burglary and resisting and obstructing justice.
They say he also has been previously deported.
Vizcarra was booked into the Otero County Prison facility awaiting prosecution.
Authorities didn't immediately know Vizcarra's hometown in Mexico or if has a lawyer yet.

An aneurysm is abnormal widening or ballooning of a portion of a blood vessel. The blood vessel wall becomes weaker in this location. Aneurysms can occur in any artery in the body, including the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body and the primary blood vessel leading from the heart to the body. It carries the blood that is pumped out of the heart and distributes it to the organs of the body.
The aorta extends from the heart, down through the chest (the thoracic aorta) and into the abdomen (the abdominal aorta.)
A thoracic aortic aneurysm is a localized expansion of the wall of the aorta.
Thoracic aortic aneurysms are caused by:
Atherosclerosis is by far the most common cause.
Thoracic aneurysms occur in the ascending aorta (25% of the time), the aortic arch (25% of the time), or the descending thoracic aorta (50% of the time).
Prevention measures for aortic aneurysms would be the same ones taken to prevent atherosclerosis. These would include not smoking, controlling blood pressure and blood lipid levels, and exercising daily.
The majority of patients have no symptoms at the time an aneurysm is discovered. In fact, aneurysms are often detected on tests that were performed for entirely different reasons.
Aneurysms may develop slowly over many years and often have no symptoms until they rupture. If the aneurysm expands rapidly, tears open (ruptured aneurysm), or blood leaks along the wall of the vessel (aortic dissection), the above symptoms may develop suddenly.
Acute symptoms of dissection or rupture can include chest or back pain (between the shoulders, or lower back). Any sudden onset of chest pain should warrant immediate medical attention.
Symptoms of rupture may include:
Although aneurysms can be detected by physical examination, most are diagnosed today using ultrasound scans, CAT scans and MRIs, simple exams that are non-invasive and can be done as an outpatient. These exams can tell us whether an aneurysm is present and how big it is - the key elements to determine the need for treatment.
These techniques use sophisticated imaging tools to eliminate risks and discomforts of injections or invasive procedures.
A chest X-ray and chest CT scan demonstrate enlargement of the aorta. A chest CT scan identifies the diameter of the aorta and the exact location of the aneurysm.
An aortogram (a special set of X-ray images made during injection of dye into the aorta) may also identify the location and extent of the aneurysm and identify any branch arteries of the aorta that are also involved.
How can thoracic aortic aneurysms be prevented?
Prevention measures, in general, include not smoking, controlling blood pressure and blood lipid levels, and exercising daily.
View a surgical Webcast of a Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Repair, performed at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Thoracic aortic aneurysms cause a bulge in a section of the thoracic aorta and result in a weakening of the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the body. As this bulge increases in size, the risk of rupture and internal bleeding also increases.
Until recently, patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms, pseudo-aneurysms, and injuries to the aorta from trauma, would have needed open surgery for repair -- which included a large chest incision and the temporary clamping of the aorta. Now surgeons can use just one small incision during a minimally invasive procedure to place a high-tech device inside the aorta, relieving the aneurysm from pressure.
The big advantage for patients is the faster recovery. They can typically go home from the hospital in a day or two, compared to a week or more for open surgery.
The experienced University of Maryland aneurysm team continues to come up with unique and innovative treatment options that will benefit aneurysm patients both now and in the future.
The team has performed some original work using a combination of endografts and endografts alone to solve problems -- such as replacing the aortic arch without the use of a heart-lung machine -- that required major operations in the past. Hybrid procedures have become more common where surgeons mix traditional aneurysm work with the endografts.
By making just a small incision in the groin, surgeons are able to insert a catheter and thread a special device towards the aneurysm using high-tech X-ray imaging seen on a monitor. This device, which is about 15 centimeters long and can be 40 millimeters in diameter, creates a new pathway for blood flow, taking the pressure off the aneurysm.
Symptoms of thoracic aortic aneurysms vary. Patients can experience chest, abdominal or neck pain, though some experience no pain. Typically, thoracic aortic aneurysms are diagnosed after a CT or MRI. Surgery is often a treatment option when medical management, like blood pressure medication, has not worked and when the risk of rupture is considerably high.

Glen Johnson revealed his delight at signing an extension to his Liverpool contract - and spoke of his belief that the club's future will be a bright one.
The defender committed himself to the Reds by putting pen to paper on the deal at Melwood on Wednesday afternoon - and then explained to us why he had no hesitation in doing so.
"I'm very pleased," Johnson told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I've been here a couple of years and it's great to be staying here for a few years longer now.
"For the club to want me to be here is a great feeling and I did not have to think twice about signing.
"I think I am improving all the time at Liverpool. You're never too good to improve - and my aim is to just keep improving.
"With the squad we've got now, the backroom staff and the way things are going, things are looking positive. The club is looking to bring a few more players in, so the future is looking bright.
"We've made a couple of good signings already and with a few more we will be a right force in the coming season.
"I'm quietly confident (about the new season). If we take it game-by-game I think we'll do well."
Click the image below to watch our chat with Glen
Johnson and his teammates returned to Melwood on Monday following the summer break to begin pre-season training.
And though he acknowledged the sessions have been tough, he is relishing being back amongst the squad as they prepare for 2011-12.
"It's always nice to come back and see everyone again when you've been off for a few weeks," he said. "We've got some hard weeks of training ahead of us now, but that's part and parcel of it and it's good to be back.
"The first few days have been difficult - they're probably the worst few days of the season! But it's been enjoyable too. The lads have been working hard, everybody is injury-free, touch wood, and it's looking good."
After a week of training at Melwood, Liverpool will depart for the Far East on Sunday as they embark on their two-game tour of Asia.
Johnson added: "It will be brilliant. It's part of pre-season, so we will go there and the important thing will be fitness work, but I'm sure we'll try and enjoy ourselves while we're over there as well."

Gender Symposium: "Bathing Bulgarians, Saving the World: American Bible Women and Hygiene in the Late Nineteenth Century Balkans, 1864-1918"
Fri, February 22, 2013 • 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM • GAR 1.102
A talk by Dr. Mary Neuburger, Professor of History at The University of Texas at Austin
The Department of History's Graduate Symposium on Gender, History, and Sexuality presents:
American exceptionalism, religious revival, and reformist impulses contributed to the steep rise of nineteenth century Protestant missionary projects. Women played a critical role in the global spread of American Protestant missions, intent upon reforming and "saving" the global "heathen." Women became central, in part, because of their major role in raising money and organizing missionary efforts, but also because of their presumed ability to access the recesses of the impenetrable heathen home. This "heathen," of course, was not just pagan or non-white. Rather, all non-Protestants were considered "heathen," including the white, "European" Orthodox Christians populations of the Ottoman and post-Ottoman Balkans. Interestingly, Bible women (and men) directed one of the most sustained missionary efforts of this period in the Bulgarian-populated Eastern Balkans.
As elsewhere in the world, the work of missionary women in this region was focused on the home and the practices and habits of Bulgarian women. While Bulgarians, in American Protestant thought, were generally barbaric, drunken, and filthy, they also had the "racial" makeup and therefore potential to be worthy of intensive efforts to purify their bodies and souls. This study of the protracted American Protestant engagement with Bulgarian populations in this region illuminates the ways in which American messianism entwined religion with the most intimate and gendered aspects of "progress". At the same time, it offers insight into complex Balkan encounters with modernity in its specifically American guise, carried (as it often was) on the wings of committed religious missionaries.
The Symposium on Gender, History, and Sexuality has been a fixture in Department of History since 2001, offering a forum for graduate students and faculty to present papers and works-in-progress for discussion in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere.

Casa de mi Padre
- Genre: Comedy
- Director: Matt Piedmont
- Stars: Will Ferrell, Diego Luna
- Rating: ***
A truly bizarre vanity project, Casa de mi Padre stars Will Ferrell as a Mexican rancher battling drug dealers and DEA agents.
The joke — such as it is – is that the Anchorman star is really speaking Spanish, just like all the recognizable Latino actors in the cast – an ambitious and surreal gambit that's more conceptually funny than scene-to-scene amusing.
The film seems destined to be a cult item, and since that's what it was aiming for, it can be called a success.

As Mark Harriti of the Los Angeles Times reports:
WASHINGTON — Facing recruiting shortages brought on by the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army has decided to accept a greater number of recruits who score near the bottom of military aptitude tests, the secretary of the Army said Monday.Meanwhile, General William Odom, Ronald Raygun's director of the National Security Agency and former Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (the Army's top ranking intelligence officer), has said he's come to the same conclusion so many of us reached before Iraq's invasion and occupation, saying:
Coming off a recruiting year in which the Army fell short of its goal of 80,000 active-duty soldiers, Army Secretary Francis J. Harvey announced that the Army would allow up to 4% of its recruiting class to be Category IV recruits — those who scored between the 16th and 30th percentile in the battery of aptitude tests that the Defense Department gives to all potential military personnel.
The Army until now allowed no more than 2% of its recruiting class to be from the Category IV level, fearing that letting too many low-achieving recruits into the Army might dilute the quality of the nation's largest military branch.
The continuing violence in Iraq has made the Army's annual mission to bolster its ranks especially difficult in recent months. The Army fell nearly 7,000 recruits short of its goal for the 2005 fiscal year, which ended Friday. Army officials have said that recruiters might be faced with an even bigger challenge during the current fiscal year.
"The invasion of Iraq I believe will turn out to be the greatest strategic disaster in U.S. history."
The ever-amazing Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! has an excellent interview.
And, putting the lie to the rosy predictions of Chief Pan Troglodytes, a suicide bomber penetrated the cozy confines of Baghdad's Green Zone, reportedly killing three.
The facade of the Project for a New American Century's delusional world is beginning to crumble, folks.
Quote of the Day: "When Prince Prospero's dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and lighthearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys. A strong and lofty wall girdled it. This wall had gates of iron.
The Prince had the bolts of the gates welded which left neither means of ingress or egress to the sudden impulses of despair or of frenzy from within. The abby was amply provisioned....The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure....buffoons...improvisatori...ballet dancers...musicians...beauty...wine. All these and security were within. Without was the Red Death."

the remaining 1,330,000 nephrons (assuming a normal total of 2,000,000) hypertrophied so that their filtration rate increased by 50%. Such fine adjustment rarely occurs; the presence of a substantial amount of structural and functional damage might be impossible to determine precisely with standard tests of renal function.
Finally, there are almost no epidemiologic data on the number of people who develop ESRD as a result of acute or chronic exposure to environmental nephrotoxicants. All the estimates depend on inferences drawn from inconclusive sources, such as surveys of patients entering dialysis and transplantation programs. The results of several of the surveys indicate that substantial gaps exist in the ability to identify the primary abnormality leading to ESRD (Burton and Hirschman, 1979; Easterling, 1977; Evans et al., 1981; NIH, 1990; Rostand et al., 1982). For example, data compiled by the U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS) for the years 1987–1990 indicate that disease of unknown cause made up 6.6% of the cases of ESRD (NIH, 1993). Patients with interstitial nephritis not due to analgesics abuse were 3.4% of the total. Because those groups of patients include some who have been exposed to xenobiotics, such as heavy metals, it is possible that for 10.0% of the patients with ESRD, environmental and occupational nephrotoxicants might be of primary importance in the etiology of the disease. Even in other persons with ESRD, exposure to environmental pollutants might have been a factor in the onset or progression of the disease. Information on occupational history or other factors that would implicate a patient's environment in his or her potentially catastrophic illness is rarely available.
On the basis of the available social and demographic data, several notable groupings might be relevant to the incidence of renal diseases. ESRD is found in a disproportionately high percentage of minority, ethnic, and racial groups in the United States. Native Americans, blacks, and Hispanics, especially Mexican Americans, have overall ESRD rates about 3–4 times greater than the rate in whites (USRDS, 1991). Although the reasons for the increased susceptibility of minority groups to developing ESRD are unknown (Rostand, 1992), several possibilities have been suggested (Feldman et al., 1992). They can be separated into two broad categories: differences in the access to preventive health care and renal-replacement therapy, and physiologic heterogeneity among racial groups that might increase renal sensitivity to toxic exposures.
A study of 9,390 black and white New York state residents who began treatment between 1982 and 1988 sought to determine whether the incidence of ESRD due to the three most frequent causes (diabetic glomerulosclerosis, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, and glomerulonephritis) was related to socioeconomic status (Byrne et al., 1994). A clear effect of socioeconomic status on the incidence of ESRD due to diabetes or hypertension was demonstrated in whites, but, perhaps because of overriding factors, no such effect was seen in
