Canon is known world-wide for its lenses. The zoom technology found in the lens of a ZR60 camcorder is the same as Canon uses in its broadcast TV lenses, found in the majority of broadcast cameras.
The ZR60 is fitted with an 18X optical zoom lens, a high performance lens from Canon. The 18X zoom range will more than take care of all your picture-taking needs, whether they are wide-angle shots of all the family at the reunion, or close-up sports action at full telephoto. Add in the high-resolution capability of DV, and you have high quality video at your fingertips.
The ZR60's 360X digital zoom significantly expands the telephoto magnification of the subject, bringing it even closer than you might have thought possible.

Many working families that struggle to put food on their tables may now be eligible to receive benefits from the Women, Infants and Children federal supplemental feeding program.
Income guidelines have increased again, which means more families can maintain benefits and additional families will receive assistance.
We dont tend to slow down our outreach because we want to get WIC out there, said Angel M. Carter, WIC coordinator for Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence and Franklin counties. Were more aggressive to get the new guidelines out there to people.
As of the end of April, more than 10,500 people were actively enrolled in the program, with 5,499 in Jefferson County, 1,060 in Lewis County, 2,773 in St. Lawrence County and 1,181 in Franklin County. Mrs. Carter said those numbers are expected to increase as long as families dont just assume they are not eligible.
People just think its low-income and they assume they dont qualify, Mrs. Carter said. The majority of the gap is families working. We really try to stretch our hours in all four counties because working families do qualify.
During the first part of the year, families that do not qualify may be eligible once income guidelines increase.
The 2013-14 income guidelines will allow a family of two to have a gross annual income of $28,694, compared with the $27,991 in the 2012-13 fiscal year. A family of three may have a gross annual income of $36,131, and a family of four can make up to $43,568.
The program is for pregnant women, breast-feeding mothers, infants and children up to age 5. Participants may receive food vouchers valued at more than $100 per person per month. Vouchers are good for fruit, vegetables, eggs, cheese, cereal, milk, juice and peanut butter.
Formula, infant cereal and juice also are available.
WIC participants also will receive a one-time $24 check to use at a local farmers market for fresh produce. That benefit is offered only during summer months.
More information, including income eligibility guidelines, is available by calling the following WIC offices: 782-9222 for Watertown, 376-6427 for Lowville, 386-8128 for Canton and 518-483-4262 for Malone.
Mrs. Carter said the value of vouchers may fluctuate to reflect the rising cost of food, but what program participants are allowed to get will not change.

WATERTOWN — American Crossroads, a Republican super PAC associated with former White House policy adviser Karl Rove and Virginia Senatorial candidate Ed Gillespie, has purchased a series of attack ads against Republican congressional candidate Matthew A. Doheny set to run in New York's 21st Congressional District ahead of the June 24 primary election.
Mr. Doheny is running against Elise M. Stefanik, a former White House policy adviser from Willsboro. Ms. Stefanik worked in the George W. Bush White House on the Domestic Policy Council staff and in the chief of staff's office from 2006 to 2009. Mr. Rove worked as a senior adviser and deputy chief of staff in the Bush White House until 2007.
According to documents accessed through the Sunlight Foundation's "Political Ad Sleuth," American Crossroads purchased 53 ads at $18,600 to run in the Burlington, Vt., media market June 3 through 9.
News of the ad buy initially appeared in the National Review, which reported that American Crossroads's total investment in the district is $240,000, according to someone with knowledge of the purchase agreement.
The 31-second spot, titled "Mistakes," contains programming outlining why Mr. Doheny is "unfit for Congress," according to paperwork filed with station WCAX in South Burlington.
"Multi-millionaire Matt Doheny just doesn't learn from his mistakes," the video begins, before trotting out several unflattering news reports. The narrator says these factors would make it a big mistake to send him to Congress.
Among the reports are that Mr. Doheny lost three elections for Congress, including a 2009 primary election. Another said that he was sued twice for not paying rent on his New York City apartment. A third said that he was charged twice with boating while intoxicated. Yet another maintains that he violated state labor laws when he refused to pay a former campaign staffer.
The ad also attributes a quote Mr. Doheny gave to the Watertown Daily Times that actually appeared in a blog post quoting an analysis by a Roll Call reporter.
"The Daily Times reported Doheny is a significantly flawed candidate," the narrator intones, citing a two-year-old blog post by former Times political reporter Brian Amaral. The post quoted a Roll Call analysis that ran April 26, 2012.
In the Roll Call post, Josh Miller wrote about the 2012 general election between Mr. Doheny and Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh.
"Owens will face a rematch with investment banker Matt Doheny, who is a significantly flawed candidate with a lot of money," Mr. Miller wrote.
Mr. Doheny's campaign took issue with the Roll Call quote and the portrayal of Mr. Doheny's track record as a political candidate.
"Matt ran and lost in two general elections in 2010 when Doug Hoffman stayed on the Conservative line and split the vote and in 2012 when he lost by less than 5,000 votes in a district Obama carried by 6 percent," Mr. Doheny's campaign manager David M. Catalfamo wrote in a new release Tuesday. "Matt WON the Republican Primary in 2010 and 2012." (Emphasis Mr. Catalfamo's).
There was in fact no Republican primary election in 2009. The party endorsed former Assemblywoman Dierdre K. Scozzafava to run for the seat.
But Mr. Doheny's campaign took no umbrage with the other statements. Mr. Doheny was charged with boating while intoxicated on July 10 and July 24, 2004. He told the Times that he regretted the incidents. "I'm deeply embarrassed that it happened," he said in 2010. "I'm disappointed in my actions and disappointed as to what happened."
Mr. Doheny also said at the time that he had been sued in 2000 and 2005 for failing to pay rent on time for two separate New York City apartments. He said he had paid the balance after receiving notice of the suits.
The state Department of Labor awarded former staffer Alicia M. Sirk $34,383 for reimbursements and unpaid wages she earned during Mr. Doheny's 2012 campaign.
American Crossroads has ties to one of Ms. Stefanik's supporters, billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer. His PAC Winning Women donated $110,000 to Ms. Stefanik's campaign. Mr. Singer donated $250,000 to American Crossroads on March 17, according to the Federal Election Commission.
"Elise has run an issues focused, positive, grassroots campaign from day one, and will continue to do so," Ms. Stefanik's spokeswoman Charlotte Guyett said in an email. "She has stayed positive in her messaging, despite the Doheny campaign's inaccurate mailings about her. As he has done in all of his previous campaigns, Matt Doheny is the only candidate in this race who has engaged in personal attacks. This group supported our opponent in the past and clearly no longer does, making this an issue for him, not us. Our campaign is about the future, not the past. Questions about outside groups's tactics and strategy should be directed to them."
A call to American Crossroads was not immediately returned Tuesday afternoon. However, a post on the PAC's website attributed the following statement to Steven Law, the group's president and CEO.
"Local Republicans are uniting behind Elise Stefanik as the kind of exciting, conservative leader who can win and hold this seat," Mr. Law said. "Elise will be a champion for lower taxes, smaller government and dismantling Obamacare."
Ms. Stefanik has been endorsed by the New York state Conservative Party while Mr. Doheny has been endorsed by the state Independence Party. Both candidates will be on the ballot on their respective minor party lines in November, regardless of the Republican primary's outcome.
They will face Democrat Aaron G. Woolf and Green Party candidate Matthew J. Funiciello in November.

Although cold statewide temperatures have thickened the ice pack on mountain lakes, the DWR urges ice fishermen to be safety-minded whenever venturing onto the ice. Don't fish alone. Each group of fishermen should carry rope and a floatation device. Each angler should have ice picks on his person.
Please remember to pick up a 2002 fishing proclamation and license for the new year. Proclamations will be available at license agents after Dec. 27.
Abajo Mountains. DWR Conservation Officer Torrey Christopherson reports that Blanding #3 and #4 reservoirs as well as Recapture Reservoir have not completely iced over. Monticello and Foy reservoirs have iced over, but the roads to those lakes have not been plowed, making it almost impossible to get to them.
Electric Lake. The lake has iced up along the shoreline, but is open further away from shore. Bait is not allowed at this lake, where the trout limit is two.
Huntington Creek. Anglers should be prepared for snow and ice along the length of the creek. The creek is ice-free for the first half mile below Electric Lake Dam. The limit on the Left Fork, above the forest service campground, is four trout. These must be taken with artificial flies or lures; bait is not allowed.
On the Right Fork, from Flood and Engineer's Canyon upstream to Electric Lake dam, only two trout may be taken and artificial flies must be used. No bait or lures are allowed in this section.
Huntington Reservoir (near the city of Huntington). The reservoir has iced over. In some places, the ice is five to six inches thick. However, there is a small patch of open water occupied by ducks. For safety sake, please stay away from that area. Carry safety equipment when in other areas. This past weekend, ice fishermen have had good success for rainbow trout with meal worms.
Huntington Reservoir (near the top of Huntington Canyon). Ice anglers have been fishing since late Nov. Success has been fair. The trout limit is four. Release of tiger trout is encouraged so that fish can grow larger. Any brown trout caught should be harvested. The reservoir is closed to the possession of cutthroat trout.
Joes Valley Reservior. The reservoir is beginning to freeze. No boat access. The shoreline is locked up with thin ice sheet. The daily bag and possession limit for splake is two fish. All splake between 15-20 inches must be immediately released. Release of all splake is encouraged to help with chub control.
Lasal Mountains. No report on mountain lakes or access. Ken's Lake is not frozen yet.
Lower Fish Creek. Access to the middle portion of the stream on DWR property has been closed until late spring. The trout limit is four. Only artificial flies or lures can be used below the railroad bridge, which is about one mile below the dam.
Millsite Reservoir. The reservoir iced up on Dec. 16. Please carry safety equipment and drill holes, testing ice thickness, before venturing out. Before the freeze, Park Manager Ron Taylor reported that shoreline anglers had good success.
Scofield Reservior. The ice pack is six to eight inches thick. Angling success has been fair. A good combination is an attractor spoon above an ice fly tipped with night crawler. About one third of the fish being pulled through the ice range from 14-17 inches and weigh as much as three pounds. About two thirds are small eight to eleven inch trout. Release of trout is encouraged. A four trout limit is in place at the reservoir and its tributaries.
Straight Canyon/Cottonwood Creek. Fishing has been good for small brown trout with a size 18 Adams pattern. The creek is ice-free on the upper end below the dam.
Lake Powell. It's cold on the lake when traveling. Trips in a covered boat are recommended. When the boat stops and the wind chill is not a factor, then conditions are still nice for a striper fishing trip.
The techniques required for catching stripers are very specific. Electronics are almost a must unless you know where stripers have been caught recently, then fishing there is fine because they haven't moved. Winter stripers are almost dormant. Expect them to be right in the deep water mouth of a short canyon or at 50-100 feet over the submerged creek channel in a long canyon. Stripers will be right on the bottom.
When a school is graphed mark the spot or anchor directly over them. Chum with four to five finely cut anchovies spread all around the boat. Wait 15 minutes and then chum another anchovy. Continue to chum at regular intervals.

Versatile, multicultural tuning!
Lee designed this harp to produce soulful, Eastern European sounds. 5 notes have been changed from standard major tuning making Yiddish, French, Italian, Greek, Asian, Middle Eastern, gypsy and folk styles much easier to play.
Built in Japan to his exacting standards and incorporating new techniques and materials, it was in 1983 that Lee Oskar introduced his new harmonica. The radically different harp design grew out of Lee's frustration with the lack of quality and consistency in the mouth harps of the day. The design also benefited from Oskar's insights as a seasoned recording and touring pro.
The Dane's Design
Central to Oskar's design is a smooth plastic comb that doesn't swell like traditional wood combs. Aside from being easier to keep clean, the plastic comb is impervious to the swelling of conventional harmonica wood combs that can tear up the player's lips. By making affordable replacement reed plates available, Oskar's harps can be easily refurbished. You no longer need to toss out a harmonica because a reed or two has gone south. Replacement reed plates are available for every model in the Lee Oskar harmonica lineup and installation is easy since they mount to the comb with just three self-tapping screws. The reed plates have wide chambers and narrow dividers for faster, easier playing. A precision-molded, recessed bed holds the reed plate securely to prevent air leakage and project a bigger sound. The corrosion-proof, stainless steel cover plates are also engineered for excellent projection and tone. (Replacement cover plates are also available.) Lee Oskar harmonicas are tuned to 441-plus hertz for a brighter sound. With equal tuning by octaves, Lee Oskar harps have excellent intonation for blowing highly articulate, single-note leads.
More Keys and Modes
Lee's innovation didn't stop with a better-designed harp. Recognizing the need for harmonicas tuned in other than the major and natural minor diatonic scales, he introduced the Melody Maker and Harmonic Minor series that make it easier to play melodies difficult if not impossible to play with a standard diatonic harmonica. Another indication of Oskar's hard-won knowledge as a touring pro: Each harp is clearly marked in bright white on both ends with its first- and second-position (straight and cross-harp) keys. Each harmonica box is color-coded according to its series and also displays its key prominently. If you've ever struggled to find the right harp on a darkened stage, you will appreciate this simple yet essential touch.
About Lee Oskar
Even if you don't recognize Lee Oskar by name, if you've listened to pop radio much, you've probably heard his highly personal mouth harp style on War hits like "The Cisco Kid," "Low Rider," and "Why Can't We Be Friends." Oskar's staccato phrasing and uncanny tone-put to great use blowing horn-like unison riffs with saxman Charles Miller-gave War's funky stew of Latino, Caribbean, African, jazz, rock, and R&B elements a distinctive lead voice. This was especially true after the departure of vocalist Eric Burdon. The former Animals singer had been a focal point for War on early hits like "Spill The Wine." The band's eclectic and fluent mix of genres proved a rich fount leading to a string of '70s and '80s hits, usually with Oskar's distinctive harp riffs providing the signature sound.

Comments about Lee Oskar Harmonic Minor Harmonica:
Great harps. Oskars can have confusing labels, so remember that harmonic minors are labelled straight (blowing) whereas naturals are labelled cross (sucking). Harmonic minor also includes major 7th (half step below octave) whereas natural is whole step below octave. Some say it gives the harmonic minor harp a mid-east sound. I think playing this harp straight creates a sound like a chromatic played in cross. All in all, I'm very pleased with the tone and playability. Good purchase. Thanks MF.

Comments about Lee Oskar Harmonic Minor Harmonica:
If this review was only about the product I purchased, I would have rated it 5 stars. These harmonicas are hard to beat! If the rating was only about the supplier, I would have used a rating of one (1), if not ZERO. The packaging used to ship the item was TERRIBLE - it's hard for me to even refer to it as packaging. I've never seen anything like it. Thank goodness this harp is sold in a pretty strong plastic case. Otherwise, my harmonica would have probably arrived damaged. It was simply dropped into an over sized (about 9"x12"), very thin plastic (not padded), shipping envelope/bag. No padding of any kind was used to protect the harmonica. I've purchased quite a few items from this supplier over the years, including numerous harmonicas, and I don't recall seeing this level of neglect before now. Either their shipping standards have gone the way of cost-cutting, or the person doing the packaging that day was extremely careless (meaning he or she didn't care) in regards to how the item would arrive at its destination. It's a miracle the case and the harp weren't smashed to pieces!
BOTTOM LINE: I could have purchased this harmonica from any one of 10-20 (or more) suppliers for very little more. When I need musical instruments or supplies again, it'll be easy to choose a supplier who cares enough about customer satisfaction to carefully pad and protect its products for shipping. As of now, I find this supplier's shipping practices to be unacceptable. Hopefully those practices will change.

Some of the lower keys seem to be a bit loose needs some adjustment. I received this harmonica with a crushed case the box it was shipped in was not damaged.

Comments about Lee Oskar Harmonic Minor Harmonica:
I'm primarily a bass and keyboard player, but since I've chosen the instruments with the heaviest rigs, I wanted to get more serious in my harp playing for the times I just wanted to jam at a moment's notice. I've messed around with the harp since 2005, but I found that I really wanted something in the Harmonic Minor range.
The Lee Oskar Harmonic Minor is great for me due to the plastic comb and replaceable reed plates. The only other Harmonic Minor harp that I know off the top of my head is the Hohner Marine Band which is a bit more expensive and has a wooden comb.
I've been on a bad G.A.S. with harps lately, and I've wanted to get the harmonic minor for so long, that I finally put an order through. I've been playing on some cheap G,A,C harps, along with my Golden Melody in C while waiting for this harp to arrive. When it came in, I knew this was the harp I've been waiting for, well, I should say the tuning. I was instantly playing some lines that I've had in my head that I couldn't coax out of normal tuned harps.
One problem that I am having is my #3 Draw reed seems to be I don't know, stiff? As I work up and down the harp, I get an easy draw from all my reeds, but when I get to the #3 draw,I hit a speed bump; it feels like I'm trying to suck a pea through a straw- the sound just dies. Time to open up the thing and see what's going on.
I will definitely be getting more of these in different keys.

Comments about Lee Oskar Harmonic Minor Harmonica:
There is a really big difference between a natural minor (usually called "minor") and a harmonic minor scale. That difference is in the 7th scale degree which is natural in the harmonic minor and changes the tonality of the V chord. Don't buy one of these thinking you have a "minor" harmonica for tune playing because you'll find that natural 7th an issue.
In C, the difference looks like this:
Natural Minor = C D Eb F G Ab Bb C [notice that G Bb D = a Gmin chord and C Eb G = a Cmin chord]
Harmonic Minor = C D Eb F G Ab B C (no Bb) [notice that G B D = a G major chord, whole different critter]
It's also played in straightharp and not crossharp unlike most other 10-hole diatonics.
It's for a particular sound and is perfect for that sound. Some call it "Gypsy harp" and others call it "Eastern European" -- I had a student once who referred to it as "Harem Minor" because it reminded him of Middle Eastern tonality.
It's the same top quality harp as all of the other LO harps on the market. If you like the Lee Oskar harmonicas and need a harmonica minor harp then you'll like this one fine.
If you're thinking this is a major diatonic blues harp for crossharp blues wailing - or that it's a natural minor scale for playing some minor mode chord vamps in crossharp -- wrong harmonica entirely.
Try it for some "Gypsy Harp" improv and you'll be hooked on the sound.

Comments about Lee Oskar Harmonic Minor Harmonica:
This harp is good only for minor scales, as one might expect. It wasn't as smooth as a Hohner Special 20 in my opinion. I'm glad I have it for a few songs, but it's definitely not as flexible as a regular major key type harmonica, where G can also play Em scales.
Comments about Lee Oskar Harmonic Minor Harmonica:
I anticipated receiving the harmonica for a couple of days and was unsure of what to expect. I was extremely happy to find that the transition from a diatonic to a harmonic minor key was seamless. The sounds are very European, deep and moody (key Gm). An excellent purchase.
Comments about Lee Oskar Harmonic Minor Harmonica:
I bought one of these about a year ago not knowing what to expect. It is by far the most enjoyable harmonica I have ever owned. It is listed as an Eastern European or Yiddish sound. Okay, but a lot of cool rock songs can be played on this little gem too. "Paint It Black" by the Stones, "Moondance" by Van Morrison and off the wall alternative songs like Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner". You won't be disappointed.
Comments about Lee Oskar Harmonic Minor Harmonica:
I've tried a lot of different harps, and the Lee Oskar is by far the easiest to play. The tone is unbeatable, good attack, clean bends, and the cases lock together to make it easy to find the right key while you're gigging. All the parts are replaceable at a reasonable price. I'll never buy anyone else's harps.

Duck Meatballs
Meatball Madness Favorite: Duck Meatballs
First, a disclaimer: a delayed flight meant that by the time I'd arrived, most of the meatballs were entirely picked over. But of those that were still being served, the one that stunned me the most came from midtown Manhattan's Fresco by Scotto. I'll admit that the restaurant — a Manhattan mini-chain that's recently branched out into, of all things, frozen dinner deliveries — was a bit of an unlikely contender. But I was blown away by the restaurant's impressively tender meatball of ground duck and porcini mushrooms, served in a sauce of sun-dried cherries and Barolo wine.
Despite a longtime love affair with ground meats, it had never, ever occurred to me that a meatball composed of duck meat could be so delectable. After tonight, I've decided that it's going to have to be my next kitchen experiment! Have you ever had a duck meatball?

Health Information Center
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare disorder that occurs when one or more tumors form in the pancreas and duodenum. The tumors, called gastrinomas, release large amounts of gastrin that cause the stomach to produce large amounts of acid. Normally, the body releases small amounts of gastrin after eating, which triggers the stomach to make gastric acid that helps break down food and liquid in the stomach. The extra acid causes peptic ulcers to form in the duodenum and elsewhere in the upper intestine.
The tumors seen with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome are sometimes cancerous and may spread to other areas of the body.
The stomach, duodenum, and pancreas are digestive organs that break down food and liquid.
Experts do not know the exact cause of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. About 25 to 30 percent of gastrinomas are caused by an inherited genetic disorder called multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1).1 MEN1 causes hormone-releasing tumors in the endocrine glands and the duodenum. Symptoms of MEN1 include increased hormone levels in the blood, kidney stones, diabetes, muscle weakness, weakened bones, and fractures.
Read more about MEN1 in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 at www.endocrine.niddk.nih.gov.
1Metz DC. Diagnosis of the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. 2012;10(2):126–130.
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is rare and only occurs in about one in every 1 million people.1 Although anyone can get Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, the disease is more common among men 30 to 50 years old. A child who has a parent with MEN1 is also at increased risk for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.2
2Del Valle J. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. In: Yamada T, ed. Textbook of Gastroenterology. 5th ed. Hoboken, NJ: Blackwell Publishing; 2009: 982–1002.
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome signs and symptoms are similar to those of peptic ulcers. A dull or burning pain felt anywhere between the navel and midchest is the most common symptom of a peptic ulcer. This discomfort usually
Other symptoms include
Some people with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome have only diarrhea, with no other symptoms. Others develop gastroesophageal reflux (GER), which occurs when stomach contents flow back up into the esophagus—a muscular tube that carries food and liquids to the stomach. In addition to nausea and vomiting, reflux symptoms include a painful, burning feeling in the midchest. Read more about GER in Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in Adults.
A person who has any of the following emergency symptoms should call or see a health care provider right away:
These symptoms could be signs of a serious problem, such as
A health care provider diagnoses Zollinger-Ellison syndrome based on the following:
Medical History
Taking a medical and family history is one of the first things a health care provider may do to help diagnose Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The health care provider may ask about family cases of MEN1 in particular.
Physical Exam
A physical exam may help diagnose Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. During a physical exam, a health care provider usually
Signs and Symptoms
A health care provider may suspect Zollinger-Ellison syndrome if
Blood Tests
The health care provider may use blood tests to check for an elevated gastrin level. A technician or nurse draws a blood sample during an office visit or at a commercial facility and sends the sample to a lab for analysis. A health care provider will ask the person to fast for several hours prior to the test and may ask the person to stop acid-reducing medications for a period of time before the test. A gastrin level that is 10 times higher than normal suggests Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.2
A health care provider may also check for an elevated gastrin level after an infusion of secretin. Secretin is a hormone that causes gastrinomas to release more gastrin. A technician or nurse places an intravenous (IV) needle in a vein in the arm to give an infusion of secretin. A health care provider may suspect Zollinger-Ellison syndrome if blood drawn after the infusion shows an elevated gastrin level.
Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
The health care provider uses an upper GI endoscopy to check the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum for ulcers and esophagitis—a general term used to describe irritation and swelling of the esophagus. This procedure involves using an endoscope—a small, flexible tube with a light—to see the upper GI tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. A gastroenterologist—a doctor who specializes in digestive diseases—performs the test at a hospital or an outpatient center. The gastroenterologist carefully feeds the endoscope down the esophagus and into the stomach and duodenum. A small camera mounted on the endoscope transmits a video image to a monitor, allowing close examination of the intestinal lining. A person may receive a liquid anesthetic that is gargled or sprayed on the back of the throat. A technician or nurse inserts an IV needle in a vein in the arm if anesthesia is given.
Imaging Tests
To help find gastrinomas, a health care provider may order one or more of the following imaging tests:
Small gastrinomas may be hard to see; therefore, health care providers may order several types of imaging tests to find gastrinomas.
Stomach-acid Measurement
Using a sample of stomach juices for analysis, a health care provider may measure the amount of stomach acid a person produces. During the exam, a health care provider puts in a nasogastric tube—a tiny tube inserted through the nose and throat that reaches into the stomach. A person may receive a liquid anesthetic that is gargled or sprayed on the back of the throat. Once the tube is placed, a health care provider takes samples of the stomach acid. High acid levels in the stomach indicate Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
A health care provider treats Zollinger-Ellison syndrome with medications to reduce gastric acid secretion and with surgery to remove gastrinomas. A health care provider sometimes uses chemotherapy—medications to shrink tumors—when tumors are too widespread to remove with surgery.
A class of medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) includes
PPIs stop the mechanism that pumps acid into the stomach, helping to relieve peptic ulcer pain and promote healing. A health care provider may prescribe people who have Zollinger-Ellison syndrome higher-than-normal doses of PPIs to control the acid production. Studies show that PPIs may increase the risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures when a person takes them long term or in high doses, so it's important for people to discuss risks versus benefits with their health care provider.
Surgical removal of gastrinomas is the only cure for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Some gastrinomas spread to other parts of the body, especially the liver and bones. Finding and removing all gastrinomas before they spread is often challenging because many of the tumors are small.
Health care providers sometimes use chemotherapy drugs to treat gastrinomas that cannot be surgically removed, including
Researchers have not found that eating, diet, and nutrition play a role in causing or preventing Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports basic and clinical research into many digestive disorders, including Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Clinical trials are research studies involving people. Clinical trials look at safe and effective new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. Researchers also use clinical trials to look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.

Each type of vasculitis is a rare ("orphan") disease. However, taken together, vasculitis affects tens of thousands of Americans and is responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality and almost one billion dollars per year in hospital care alone. While the vasculitides share the trait of vascular inflammation, the unique disease phenotypes, clinical courses, differences in prognoses, and responses to therapy suggest that important differences exist in pathogenesis. The Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium (VCRC) currently focuses on 6 specific types of vasculitis that were selected to represent a balance between unmet medical and scientific needs, prevalence in North America, feasibility of study, and an interest in studying a spectrum of small, medium, and large vessel vasculitides.
The great majority of published studies on the genetics of vasculitis have used modest-sized cohorts that are only suitable for investigation of a few candidate genes at a time, or to detect large effect sizes, so that replicated findings are highly skewed to the HLA region. Larger and more ambitious genetic studies in vasculitis are expected to generate numerous hypotheses for translational research in gene expression, biochemistry, and molecular pathology.
A one-time collection of clinical data and DNA would substantially increase the sample sizes for genetic association studies in all six vasculitides studied in the VCRC. Many patients are seen at participating VCRC centers but do not enroll in the Longitudinal Studies. These patients often are interested in participating in research studies but cannot return frequently for visits, usually due to distance from the VCRC centers. This approach would be particularly useful for the rarer forms of vasculitis under study (Takayasu's Arteritis (TAK), Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss) (EGPA) and also for Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA), since elderly patients have been particularly likely to decline participation in the Longitudinal Studies due to travel constraints.

Mens Soccer Battles No. 20 Stanford in Season Opener
The match marks the season lidlifter for both Creighton and Stanford on the 2014 slate. Both squads went undefeated in their two exhibition openers in preseason. The Jays doubled up No. 20 Wisconsin 4-2 in Omaha on Aug. 22.
The Bluejays and the Cardinal claimed NCAA Tournament bids in 2013. Stanford opens this year at No. 20 while CU received votes in the 2014 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Preseason Top 25 Poll. The Jays are 10-3-4 against ranked opponents in the last three seasons.
The Bluejays are 3-2-0 all-time against the Cardinal. The programs have played some significant matches in the past 20 years including a double-overtime College Cup semifinal match in 2002 that Stanford claimed 2-1. The Cardinal also was the opponent for the third-largest Morrison Stadium crowd of 5,743 during a 2005 exhibition match.
Creighton will honor men's soccer alumnus Keith DeFini at halftime of Friday's match.
Last Week
8/17: at Milwaukee (Ex.), T, 0-0
8/22: vs. No. 21 Wisconsin (Ex.), W, 4-2
This Week
8/29: vs. No. 20 Stanford, 7 p.m. CT – Morrison Stadium
8/31: vs. Santa Clara, 7 p.m. CT – Morrison Stadium
What's at Stake
· Creighton seeks to extend its unbeaten streak of 5-0-2 in season-opening matches after knocking off another ranked team, No. 14 Tulsa, to begin last season.
· Stanford is looking for its first win in Omaha after a 4-0 loss to the Jays in 1996 in its only other regular season appearance.

Scouting the Creighton Bluejays (2013 record: 9-9-2, 4-4-1 BIG EAST)
Creighton begins the season against a ranked time for the second year in a row when it takes on Stanford Friday evening.
CU finished the preseason at 1-0-1 after a 4-2 win over No. 21 Wisconsin on Aug. 22. Freshman Ricky Lopez-Espin scored a pair of goals against the Badgers including the game winner. Senior Jose Ribas and junior Timo Pitter also scored for the Jays. Junior Connor Sparrow played a full 90 minutes in net, allowing two goals and making a pair of saves.
Creighton placed third in the 2014 BIG EAST preseason poll as CU senior Jose Ribas and junior Timo Pitter earned recognition on the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team. Ribas was also listed at No. 41 in the TopDrawerSoccer Preseason National Top 100 released earlier this week.
Overall Creighton returns its top four scorers from last season in Pitter, sophomore Fabian Herbers, Ribas and junior Christian Blandon. Redshirt senior Sean Kim also returns after an injury in 2013. Kim scored six points over five matches last season.
The Jays also return both goalkeepers from last year in redshirt senior Alex Bolowich and junior Connor Sparrow. The goalies combined for a 1.09 goals against average and six shutouts in 2013.
Five 2013 All-BIG EAST selections return for the Jays including Pitter, Ribas, Herbers, Hines-Ike and sophomore Ricardo Perez. The Bluejays welcome 11 newcomers to the squad but lose the services of 2014 MLS Draft selections Eric Miller and Zach Barnes.
Bolowich and junior Vincent Keller will captain this year's squad.
Scouting the No. 20 Stanford Cardinal (2013 Record: 10-7-4, 3-5-2 Pac-12)
Stanford finished 2013 ranked in the top 25 after advancing to the third round of the NCAA Tournament - the Cardinal's first postseason appearance since 2009.
At the 2013 NCAA Tournament, Stanford defeated Loyola Marymount and No. 15 Cal State Northridge before falling 1-0 on a late goal at No. 2 Washington.
Stanford was picked to finish third in 2014 Pac-12 Preseason Coaches' Poll, garnering 18 votes and one first-place vote behind favorite UCLA and Washington.
In the 2014 preseason, the Cardinal defeated Saint Mary's 3-1 in their final exhibition match at home on Aug. 23 after blanking Bakersfield 1-0 earlier in the week.
On Thursday, Stanford sophomore forward Jordan Morris was among 22 players called into camp by U.S. Men's National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann for the upcoming friendly against the Czech Republic on Sept. 3 in Prague.
Morris leads all returning players from last season with seven assists distributed last year. He also scored six goals to total 19 points, good for second on the squad as a freshman.
Senior forward Zach Batteer returns as the team's leading scorer from last season, after posting nine goals and 21 points a year ago.
Junior Brandon Vincent and freshman Corey Baird earned preseason recognition from TopDrawerSoccer. Vincent was one of four defenders earning a spot on the Preseason Best XI Third Team while Baird was one of five midfielders tabbed to the Freshman Team.
Sophomore Andrew Epstein played over 88 minutes in the last exhibition match. He replaces departed senior Drew Hutchins in goal for the Cardinal this year.
Creighton-Stanford Series
The Bluejays are 3-2-0 all-time against the Cardinal; the Jays won the last meeting between the schools.
Creighton claimed a 1-0 decision in Palo Alto on Sept. 19, 2008. CU alumnus Ethan Finlay scored that game-winning goal in the 83rd minute.
In a 2002 College Cup national semifinal the Jays battled Stanford into double overtime, but the Cardinal scored with just two minutes remaining to end Creighton's season with a 2-1 defeat in Dallas.
The only previous visit to Omaha by the Cardinal ended in a 4-0 shutout in favor of the Bluejays on Aug. 31, 1996.
Last Time Out
The Creighton men's soccer team upended No. 21 Wisconsin 4-2 in the Bluejays' final exhibition match of the season inside Morrison Stadium on Aug. 22.
CU freshman Ricky Lopez-Espin scored the game-winner in the 58th minute on a feed from Herbers to give the Jays a 3-1 lead. Lopez-Espin added another in the 64th minute on an assist from fellow freshman Noah Franke to make it 4-1.
Creighton never trailed in the contest as Ribas opened the scoring in the eighth minute to put the Jays up 1-0. Ribas crushed the ball from distance, shortly after Wisconsin could not clear a corner kick, past a stunned goalie.
Pitter scored off of a free kick from just outside of the box in the 25th minute to put Creighton up 2-0. That score held up into halftime.
Creighton's Connor Sparrow played a full 90 minutes in net, allowing two goals while making a pair of saves.
Poll Positions
The BIG EAST men's soccer coaches selected Creighton to place third in the 2014 preseason poll. CU garnered one of the 10 first-place votes to help total 63 overall points. The league's two ranked teams, No. 9 Georgetown and No. 12 Marquette, were tied atop the poll for first place with 75 points apiece. The Hoyas edged the Golden Eagles 5-4 in first-place votes.
Despite finishing last season in fifth, the Pac-12 coaches slotted No. 20 Stanford to finish third in the six-team conference. No. 4 UCLA claimed the top spot in the league followed by No. 6 Washington.
Tough 2014 Slate
The Bluejays' 2014 schedule features five regular-season contests against 2013 NCAA Tournament teams, including four from the Jays' nine-match BIG EAST conference slate. CU also hosted No. 21 Wisconsin in an exhibition match.
The Jays' will host 12 opponents and travel to play six other squads in the 2014 regular season. The slate is highlighted by nine matches against teams that finished among the top 50 in the final 2013 NCAA RPI; six of those are home contests.
Starting in mid-October, Creighton will face the other four BIG EAST squads that advanced to the NCAA Tournament last year in a span of just under a month to close out the regular season. The Bluejays battle three opponents that advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2013 including No. 9 Georgetown, No. 12 Marquette and No. 20 Stanford.
Ranked Foes in 2014
Creighton is one of four BIG EAST programs to receive votes from the NSCAA in the 2014 preseason poll. The other conference schools in the poll include No. 9 Georgetown and No. 12 Marquette. St. John's received 10 votes in the rankings while the Jays netted 14 votes.
In addition to the trio of contests against BIG EAST foes that received votes, Creighton's schedule involves three other teams that earned votes in the poll. The Jays open the regular season at home against No. 20 Stanford on Aug. 29. Two other 2014 non-conference foes also claimed votes in Saint Louis (10) and Tulsa (5).
2013 in Review
Creighton finished last year unranked on a three-game skid after compiling a 9-9-2 overall mark following an NCAA Tournament First Round setback against Seattle.
CU played a lot of tight matches in 2013 as each of the Jays' nine losses came by a single goal. The Bluejays completed their first season in the BIG EAST Conference with a 4-4-1 mark and a fifth-place finish.
The Jays climbed as high as No. 1 in the 2013 rankings on September 10 – the first time since 1999 that CU held the top spot. Overall, the Bluejays found themselves ranked in nine NSCAA weekly polls during the last regular season.
Fourth-year head coach Elmar Bolowich leads the Jays in their quest for the program's 22nd NCAA Tournament appearance in the past 23 seasons in 2014. Creighton returns 13 letterwinners and eight starters from last year's team.
Inaugural BIG EAST Season Review
Creighton ended its conference season in Providence with a pair of 2-1 setbacks to the Friars in the regular-season finale and a BIG EAST Championship quarterfinal match.
CU never dipped below the .500 mark in conference and toggled between wins and losses over its last five league matches. Overall, Creighton won three of its last five regular-season matches after a three-game scoreless drought in mid-October.
The Jays were 3-1 at home in BIG EAST matches beginning with a 1-0 overtime defeat of St. John's in its conference debut (Sept. 21), a 2-0 win over Xavier (Oct. 5) a 1-0 overtime setback to Villanova (Oct. 19) and a 5-1 victory over DePaul (Nov. 2) on Senior Day.
The Bluejays' road record in conference was deceiving at 1-3-1 last season. All three losses were settled by a single goal. In fact the only two league matches not decided by a single goal or less last year were CU victories over Xavier (2-0) and DePaul (5-1) at home.
Creighton finished 2-2-1 against the fellow 2013 BIG EAST tournament teams. The Jays tied No. 1 seed Georgetown in Washington D.C., lost at No. 2 Marquette and at No. 4 Providence while defeating No. 3 Xavier 2-0 at home and No. 6 Butler 3-2 on the road.
CU was 2-6-1 in true road contests in 2013 including a 1-3-1 mark in conference.
Jays Rank Among the Top 10 in Home Attendance for 11th Straight Season
With 27,156 fans attending matches last season, Creighton ranked sixth nationally in total home attendance. The Jays finished fourth in average home attendance in 2013 at 2,716 fans per contest.
Over 5,200 fans witnessed Creighton's 1-0 double-overtime defeat of No. 7 St. John's in the Jays' BIG EAST debut on Sept. 21 at Morrison Stadium. The crowd of 5,282 ranked as the sixth-largest crowd ever to attend a collegiate match at the Bluejays' home. The match also ranked No. 10 in single-game attendance nationally last season.
The total edged out a contingent of 5,102 Bluejay faithful that witnessed CU defeat Columbia 3-1 earlier in the season on Sept. 6. That crowd ranks No. 7 all-time in the Creighton record books for single-match home attendance.
Creighton is now 5-7-1 in front of 5,000-plus fans since 2000.
At then-No. 22 Saint Louis on Oct. 2, 3,070 fans packed Hermann Stadium to watch the Bluejays battle the Billikens last season. It marked the largest crowd in a regular-season true road contest to see the Jays play since 5,648 fans saw CU visit then-No. 3 Maryland on Sept. 30, 2011.
In 2012, then-No. 2 Creighton fell 2-1 to then-No. 14 Old Dominion on Sept. 14 in front of 6,848 fans – the top home crowd all-time at Morrison Stadium.
Jays Achieve No. 1 Ranking for the First Time in 14 Years
Following a 3-1 victory over Columbia on Sept. 6, 2013, Creighton became the top squad in the nation according to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll released four days later.
It marked the Jays' first time back in the top spot since September 1999. Creighton was ranked as high as No. 2 in each of the last three seasons including last fall.

Submission Fatherhood Decreases Testosterone->
Med-trump writes: A new study shows that becoming a father leads to a sharp decline in testosterone, suggesting that although high levels of the hormone may help men win a mate, testosterone-fueled traits such as aggression and competition are less useful when it comes to raising children. The study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences revealed that testosterone levels were lowest in men who reported spending the greatest amount of time spent caring for their children.

You can choose from the hundreds of XTensions modules that are available now (some free, others available for purchase from third parties), or develop your own to fit a specific need. More >
AppleScript lets you control applications such as QuarkXPress with scripts. AppleScript is an intuitive, easy-to-learn scripting language that has been built into Mac OS® for more than fifteen years.
You can write a script to do anything from simple formatting tasks to complex database publishing. For example, you could easily write a script that alphabetizes paragraphs or formats texts. With a little more work, you can write a script that merges addresses from a database into a QuarkXPress letter template. It's even possible to produce an entire catalog automatically by linking a QuarkXPress layout to a database of pictures and text.
The Mac OS version of QuarkXPress includes many examples of scripts that perform useful functions. These are available from the AppleScript menu in QuarkXPress. You can modify these scripts to suit your own purposes, or run them as-is.
To gain the full power of dynamic publishing, Quark offers several enterprise products that work with richly designed templates created in QuarkXPress. By combining such templates with content created by knowledge workers, you can allow content experts to focus on content and speed up the publishing process.

Associate Editor John Serfustini.
For the second time, John Serfustini has settled into a spot at an editor's desk at the Sun Advocate, demonstrating that for a few, maybe you can go home again. Publisher Richard Shaw named him associate editor of the paper this week. One of Serfustini's first jobs in journalism was editor of this paper back in 1976 to 1978.
After obtaining his bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Utah, Serfustini's career began at the Wasatch Wave in Heber City.
"The first year I learned a lot," explained the veteran story teller. "You really learn that you have to be - first and foremost - considerate of the people you write about."
He later reported for the Deseret News before coming to Carbon County. "Unlike many small areas, we have five cities plus the county government here and that makes for great reporting," Serfustini said when asked what it is he likes about Carbon County. "But the best part of this area has to be the ethnic diversity."
He also worked at Channel 4 News and the Salt Lake Tribune. After working as city editor at the Tribune, Serfustini served as a spokesman and federal lobbyist for Utah Power. While with the utility, he managed to obtain his MBA from Brigham Young University.
Serfustini is back and from what he says, the only thing that has changed is the fact that he is now just a bit older than his sources.
