Video: Kwanzaa in Buffalo
BUFFALO, NY - Kwanzaa is a special time to celebrate family, community and culture.
This year, the theme of the Buffalo celebration is When We Honor Our Ancestors, We Honor Ourselves.
The local committee chairman is excited about the holiday. "We're going to go back and look at those who made our community a better place," said Samuel Radford. "Kwanzaa is really about unifying our communities so we all really understand the value of each other, and what we all bring to make our community better than we found it."
Dr. Maulana Karenga, chair of Cal State Long Beach's Department of Africana Studies, created Kwanzaa in 1966 in what he termed "an audacious act of self-determination."
Kwanzaa is not a religious holiday, it is a cultural and ethnic celebration of black heritage, unity and culture.
Families often celebrate by lighting candles and serving traditional African foods. Kwanzaa is based on seven principles: Unity, self-determination, responsibility and collective work, purpose, cooperative economics, faith and creativity.
Here is list of local Kwanzaa celebrations which begin at 7 p.m.
Wednesday, December 26 - Opening Ceremony, The Buffalo Academy of the Visual and Performing Arts, 450 Masten Ave., performances by Healing Hands, a local troupe of percussionists and dancers, and Tradition Keepers: Black Storytellers of Western New York.
Thursday, December 27 - Buffalo Museum of Science, 1020 Humboldt Parkway. The founder will be the Keynote speaker.
Friday, December 28 - Edward Saunders Community Center, 2777 Bailey Ave. Scheduled to perform are the Daughters of Creative Sound, Njozi Poets and Drea D'Nur.
Saturday, December 29 - A special Children's celebration of Kwanzaa is planned from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Delavan-Grider Community Center, 877 E. Delavan Ave. Guest performers include Watoto from the Nile, the Crusaders Drill Team and MGT Vanguard. In the evening at the Frank E. Merriweather Jr. Library, 1424 Jefferson Ave. A performance by Pappi Martin and the Love Supreme Orchestra, a panel discussion hosted by the Black Chamber of Commerce of Western New York, and poetry by Taharka Odinga.

CANTON Call it, in football parlance, a fantastic finish for the St. Lawrence hockey team on Saturday night.
Sophomore Chris Martin scored two goals in the third period, junior goalie Matt Weninger made 31 saves and the Saints went on to hold off Brown in the final seconds to post a much-needed 3-2 ECAC Hockey victory before a turnout of 1,427 at Appleton Arena.
St. Lawrence survived a video review on the games final play as the Bears Nick Lappin rang a shot off the crossbar just as time expired.
After the Saints celebrated the apparent triumph, nearly five minutes passed until officials ruled in St. Lawrences favor by ruling no goal.
It kind of grazed my shoulder and hit the crossbar, Weninger said of the shot. The guys said it didnt go in, but it was a long few minutes waiting for the (ruling). The longer it goes, the more you think theyre going to call it a goal. ... It was terrifying.
Finally getting a pivotal bounce to go its way in conference play, St. Lawrence (9-10-2, 2-5-2) moved out of last place in the ECAC standings and moved into a tie for ninth with Brown (5-7-4, 1-4-4) and Harvard.
Its never easy, St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said. But this was a big win for us.
We got some fortunate bounces at the end, senior and assistant captain George Hughes said. I think we played a good second and third periods, but it was a little too close for comfort at the end there.
After Matt Lorito scored a power-play goal one minute, 30 seconds into the third period to provide Brown with a 2-1 edge, Martin responded with a power-play goal of his own 1:41 later.
The sophomore right wing took a pass from Jordan Dewey and fired a shot between goalie Anthony Borellis leg pads at 3:31.
When youre in a slump, you just keep working and throw pucks at the net, said Martin, who snapped an eight-game scoreless streak. The important thing is we needed this win and its a great feeling to help out your team like this.
Martin struck again for the deciding goal as converted on a cross-ice pass from Patrick Doherty and snapped the puck over Borelli at 9:48.
I give all the credit to my linemates on that goal, Martin said. Were working really well together.
Weninger, who made 14 saves in the third period, had another close call in the final minute as Dennis Robertson missed a chance with the right side of the Saints net left wide open, but misfiredand Weninger managed to corral the puck with 7.9 seconds left.
It was good to get a win and hopefully we can build on this, Weninger said. We had a few things go our way, but played very well tonight and I think we deserved this win.
With the victory, St. Lawrence won its first ECAC game on home ice this season, improving to 1-3-1 and 4-5-1 overall at Appleton Arena.
This was a good sign of a team that just continues to play their game, Carvel said. I thought this weekend we played well in two tight games that could have gone either way ... we just kept battling and got it done.
The Saints, who play on the road the next two weekends, have 13 league games remaining, including six at home.
We played real hard against Yale last night, Martin said of the 4-2 loss on Friday. It was good to come out tonight and work just as hard and be rewarded with a win.
Brown had to settle for a weekend split after defeating Clarkson, 3-2 on Friday.
Its a tough one because we were up 2-1 in the third and they got one on the power play, Brown coach Brendan Whittet said. It was a 2-2 game on the road, which well take; but it was a good game with chances and hard work on both sides.
George Hughes benefited from some hard work to tally his first career shorthanded goal just 12 seconds into Browns fourth power play. After Sean McGovern stole the puck and worked his way into the Bears zone; Hughes one-timed a feed from Kyle Essery past Borelli to open the scoring 14:05 into the second period.
The Bears drew even by capitalizing on a Saints turnover at 17:28 of the second period as Matt Lorito cruised in alone and wristed the puck past Weninger.
Earlier, Weninger denied Loritos shorthanded breakaway attempt with 13 minutes left in the middle period.
St. Lawrence returns to action at rival Clarkson at 7 p.m. next Saturday.
NOTES n The Saints won the season series, 1-0-1. Lappin is the son of former St. Lawrence captain and All-American Peter Lappin. Essery recorded his first assist of the season and now has nine (4-5) points over his past four games.

beyerdynamic´s MCW-D 50 conferencing system brings clear communications to International Finance Corporation
As the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a private sector of the World Bank Group and the largest multilateral provider of financing for private enterprise in developing countries, prepared to upgrade the tele/video conferencing systems in two executive briefing centers at its headquarters in Washington, D.C., the company was looking for a system that would provide clear communication and security while offering a truly wireless system. The IFC selected beyerdynamic's MCW-D 50 wireless conferencing system for its upgrade.
The physical layout and structure of the briefing centers posed several acoustical challenges, including a noisy HVAC system. For the IFC, a system that would enable members in each room, as well as those participating via phone and video, to hear more clearly was critical.
"The mic elements that are used in the MCW-D 50 conferencing stations have a very transparent response for both male and female voices, while the processing algorithm produces a very natural sound that's echo-free and not overly processed or gated," says Brian Gross, owner and senior design engineer of Phoenixx Systems, the systems integrator working on the install. "We had a tremendous amount of confidence in beyerdynamic's expertise in RF traffic - especially in the nation's capitol, to assure that the totally wireless system was completely stable and free from interference."
Esthetics also played a role in selecting the conferencing system. "The IFC wanted its briefing rooms to look as clean and professional as possible - cables dressed over the table or mics integrated into the ceiling was not an option," Gross continues. "There are other conferencing systems that employ a cabled backbone that could not be considered because of the impact to the visuals in the room. Cables are not required for the MCW-D 50 conferencing stations to operate as a complete and coherent system."
Since much of the IFC's business centers around a company's or nation's finances, security was paramount. The encryption technologies in the MCW-D 50 conferencing system ensures that the signal cannot be detected by a third party. Other security features include a chipping code, which provides additional encryption of audio signals before data transmission, and an encrypting data transmission protocol and data compression created for exclusive use with beyerdynamic's wireless conferencing systems.
The conferencing system is used in connection with the Polycom Vortex voice system and VSX8000 video conferencing system. As Gross explains, the MCW-D 50 integrated well with the Polycom systems, "The beyerdynamic system did a fine job of delivering the processed mix of their mics to the Vortex and then to the codec, rather than the Vortex managing the individual mics directly, again the best word to describe the interface, the performance and resulting sound is 'transparent'".

Norwegian is proud to be the first airline to offer high-speed broadband on flights within Europe. Per February 2014, 80 percent of our Boeing 737-800 aircraft have WiFi on board.It is satisfying to be able to give our passengers the opportunity to work, read online newspapers, play games or watch online TV while flying with us. This is a product that no other airline in Europe is currently offering, which gives us a huge competitive advantage.
We have won international acclaim for our in-flight WiFi. In September 2013, we took home the prestigious Passenger Choice Awards 2013 in the category "Best Inflight Connectivity and Communications" and in November 2012, CNN tested our in-flight WiFi. Click here to watch the report.
Norwegian is currently not offering WiFi on its long-haul flights.
Video on demand: Norwegian is also the first airline in Europe to offer video on demand. The product enables passengers on board aircraft with WiFi to rent movies and TV-shows directly onto their personal device.

The new Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster is a completely open vehicle with sleek lines combining perfectly balanced sportiness and elegance. The design is the result of a careful study into the best way of combining performance, elegant style, ease of use and a driving experience that excites all five senses.
The new Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster boasts record performance. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3 seconds flat and has a maximum speed of some 350 km/h. These numbers, combined with a drive train featuring a centrally located, 6.5 liter aspirated V12 generating 700 hp, an ISR 7-speed gearbox and push-rod suspension make the new Aventador Roadster a unique super sports car with no direct competition.
The range of colors has been supplemented with a very light, metallic blue color, Azzuro Thetis, whose tone varies with the angle of the light and recalls the shade of the extraordinarily beautiful 1968 Miura Roadster. The new Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster also features new Dione 20"/21" rims with a daring, aggressive look.
The engine hood on the Roadster differs from the hood on the coupé because of its central "spinal column" with two pairs of hexagonal windows connected at the sides as if they were hyper-tech armor plates. Their purpose is to cool the engine, drain off rain water properly and,of course, allow the beauty of the V12 power unit to be admired.
Even the interior has a new look. The use of leather called Sabbia Nefertem highlights the superb hand-made craftsmanship of the upholstery from Sant'Agata Bolognese.

Even the most enthusiastic beauty junkies tone it down for a day at the beach. But there are some products--from sunscreen to hair oil--that our editors haul from Malibu to the Hamptons. Click through for their must-haves!
Editors' Beach Picks
- 1 of 25
"Most waterproof or water-resistant mascaras are a) impossible to take off and b) make my lashes look really stiff--but not this one," Kerr says of Clinique's Bottom Lash Mascara ($10). "Though technically made for lower lashes, it works wonderfully on your top lashes as well."
- 2 of 25
"I know I need sunscreen--I'm fair! I'm vain! I don't want cancer!--but it always invariably clogs my pores and makes me break out," says Kerr. She favors Colorescience Sunforgettable Mineral Sunscreen ($50) instead. And for her lips? "Fresh's really luxurious Sugar Lip Treatment ($23) in Coral gives me enough SPF coverage and color."
- 3 of 25
"My hair dries out really quickly in the ocean air, so I like to put this on while it's still slightly damp," Noory says of Peter Coppola's Argan Oil Polish ($27). As for Sarah Horowitz's Perfect Mini Roll-On ($40), who doesn't want to smell like coconut?
- 4 of 25
"I'm so hooked on this Mixa Intensif Peaux Seches ($5) chapstick that I randomly bought at a grocery store in Paris," Noory says. "Now I stock up like a crazy person whenever I can."
Also pictured, Burt's Bee's Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion ($8).
- 5 of 25
"I didn't really wear sunscreen until last year--I didn't think my Arab skin could burn! But now I'm constantly spraying La Roche Posay Anthelios 30 Ultra Light Sunscreen Spray ($36) all over my body," says Aboutaleb. "It's light, doesn't smell, and I still get color."
- 6 of 25
"I've mentioned my obsession with actual beach hair--crunchy, saltwater-filled curls--so I come armed and ready to preserve them upon leaving the beach," Aboutaleb says. She throws Kevin Murphy's Resort Spray ($17) into her beach bag as well as RMS Lip Balm ($25) in Sacred.
- 7 of 25
"At the pool I apply deep conditioner onto the ends of my hair, wrap them into a bun, and let it bake in," says Lebsack. "Right now I'm using Ojon's Damage Reverse Restorative Hair Treatment Plus ($33)--it's a thick solid that warms to oil and makes my hair super soft." She also works Tarte's Bronze & Glow Matte Bronzer & Cheek Tint ($32) into her poolside routine.
- 8 of 25
"The convenience of a sunscreen stick is unparalleled," says Lebsack. "You can use it to touch up your face, protect scars, and cover the areas around your swimsuit that always seem to burn first." California Baby Sunscreen Stick ($16) is her favorite, and after applying sunscreen, she rubs Givenchy's Hydra Sparkling Magic Lip and Cheek Balm ($31) into her cheeks and on her lips: "The sheer balm reacts with your skin's pH to turn lips a rosy shade of pink."
- 9 of 25
"I always bring a spray sunscreen to the beach, Lancaster Invisible Mist Wet Skin Sun Sport ($38)," says Power. "And I always wear a hat to protect my face from the sun."
- 10 of 25
"I use one of two wave sprays to give my hair a beachy look," says Power. "There's Fekkai's Tousled Wave Spray ($18) and Joico's Design Collection Design Texture Spray ($16)." And she takes Labello's Classic Lip Balm ($6) everywhere!

OMAHA, Neb. -- The nation's best defense in college baseball this season now has two awards to prove it, as seniors Darin Ruf and Vicente Cafaro from Creighton have been honored with a Rawlings Gold Glove. The awards are betstowed upon the best defensive players at each position at the college level.
Ruf is the first Division I player in the award's history to win it more than once (also 2007), while Cafaro claims his second Gold Glove after winning one at the junior college level (also in 2007). Additionally, Creighton is the first Division I school to claim multiple award-winners in the same season.
Creighton's defense finished the 2009 season with a .984192 fielding percentage mark, the best in college baseball's aluminum bat era. Only the 1971 West Virginia squad, which finished at .984802, has finished the season with a better mark. CU's defense entered the College World Series ranked seventh nationally with 1.23 double plays per game and 69 double plays overall as well.
Ruf, a first baseman who started all 227 games over the past four years for Creighton, recently wrapped up one of the top careers in Bluejay history. He was named the 2007 Joe Carter Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year as a sophomore and twice named first-team all-MVC in his career.
Ruf finished with 2,251 career putouts, a figure that ranks third-most in NCAA history and just 38 shy of the all-time mark. He is Creighton's all-time leader in sacrifice flies (22) and putouts (2,251). Other notable accomplishments Ruf had during his CU career were being second in RBI (201), third in total bases (423) and hits (275), sixth in walks (135), seventh in doubles (57) and 10th in home runs (27). He graduated with a 3.52 GPA in Finance and was a three-time member of the MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team. Ruf was also named a CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Third Team Academic All-American, just the sixth baseball player in school history to earn that honor. A native of Omaha, Neb., Ruf recently signed with the Philadelphia Phillies organization after being selected in the 20th round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
Cafaro is a senior second baseman from Maracay, Venezuela who spent the past two seasons at Creighton. While with the Bluejays, he started 110 of the 112 games he played in, totalling 117 hits, 75 runs, 43 extra-base hits and 66 walks while being hit by 34 pitches. Playing at second base, Cafaro owned a sparkling .987 fielding percentage in 2009, making just four errors in 303 chances. His 201 assists led the MVC this season and rank second-most in Bluejay history. He did not make an error in league play in 2009 and made headlines locally when he sucessfully executed the hidden-ball trick to end a victory over Southern Illinois. Before arriving at Creighton, Cafaro won an Gold Glove at the NJCAA level while attending Iowa Western CC.
The Rawlings Gold Glove has been the standard for outstanding defensive play in the Major Leagues for the past 52 years. This year marks the third season for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award with the ABCA.
Rawlings has been the longtime sponsor of the ABCA/Rawlings All-Region and All-American teams. The ABCA All-American Committees select the Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners in their respective divisions. Every college and high school coach in the country has the opportunity to participate through his respective regional chair.
Nine players from each division (NCAA I, II and III, NAIA, and Junior College I, II and III) are announced at the respective site of each division's national championship. The high school division awards are announced in Omaha during the Division I College World Series. Each winner receives the Rawlings Gold Glove Award similar to the MLB award.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate reporter
As midnight ticked off the clock last Wednesday, that sense of dread that overcomes me each year at this time, struck once again.
The legislature, had finished off their annual regular session, and I knew there certainly had to be some new rule on the books that would once again take away some right or other that I had enjoyed in the past. This year proved to be no different.
Last August I wrote a column describing my disgust with the way beer had to be sold at the Helper Art Festival. State regulations made it so that to buy a beer at the festival, I, a 52 year old American male, had to not only show identification that proved I was over 21, but that I also had to be tagged with a wrist band, and be segregated to a certain area in order to drink the weakest brew made in the United States.
At the time I didn't think it could get much worse than that, other than making Utah into a downright dry state. Well the boys and girls on the hill worked long and hard to surprise me and they have succeeded.
It has now come to pass that I and another friend can no longer go to a pizza parlor and order a pitcher of beer between us. As of sometime this year (I haven't seen a date for the "pitcher ban" to go into affect yet) we must order our beer separately, by the bottle, can or mug.
This new law reminds me of when this state used to sell mini bottles to supply drinkers with booze for their cocktails. Never mind that liquor by the drink beverages almost always had weaker alcohol content than a mini-bottle drink. The official line was that separate bottles would keep consumption down, but all of us who drank really knew what the real truth behind it was: The belief that the harder you make it for someone to do something you don't want them to do the more likely they will not do it.
My experience is that when a pitcher of beer comes to a table no one drinks more than they would if they were ordering individual beers. Of course I have never done a scientific study on the subject, not exactly being in the frame of mind to do that when I am sitting at a table enjoying myself. But I am sure that the proponents of the bill know all about this since they have so much knowledge about the subject. Certainly, anyone who wants to drink more will, just by getting another container placed before them. That's the reality of drinking. But then reality isn't what many of our legislators deal with anyway. They seem to live in a world that exists somewhere on the boundary of the Twilight Zone.
I have made a decision though. As the beer laws continue to digress in this pretty great state, I may just have to change my drink of choice.
As George Bernard Shaw once wrote in a play called Candida in 1898, "I'm only a beer teetotaler, not a champagne teetotaler."
What the heck, I've always liked the pink bubbly stuff anyway.

HIV associated NHL show particularly aggressive clinical features and a worse prognosis compared to the general population. The recent introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)has improved HIV positive patients' clinical conditions and reduced the risk of opportunistic infections, thus making HIV+ patients more similar to HIV- patients. Several studies have shown that the early use (as first line treatment) of high dose chemotherapy (HDT) with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) is superior in the HIV negative setting to conventional dose chemotherapy, at least in patients with poor prognostic factors at diagnosis. Recently, several experiences have shown the feasibility, safety and efficacy of HDT and PBSCT, in association with HAART, as salvage therapy in HIV positive patients with lymphoma who maintain a chemosensitive disease after first-line treatment failure. It is rationale therefore to explore the use of this treatment strategy earlier, within the upfront treatment of HIV-associated lymphoma, in those patients with poor prognostic factors at diagnosis, according to the international prognostic score (IPI).

Britney Spears has gotten into the Halloween spirit.
While promoting her new album in London, she made a viral video with BBC Radio's Nick Grimshaw -- showing her reading the famous Vincent Price "rap" from Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
And she did it with a British accent.
Wielding an axe, flying on a broom and doing her best scared face, this video of Ms. Spears is ridiculous -- and we love it!
We can't wait to see what Britney and her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James will dress up as for Halloween this year.

Health Information Center
Hirschsprung* disease (HD) is a disease of the large intestine that causes severe constipation or intestinal obstruction. Constipation means stool moves through the intestines slower than usual. Bowel movements occur less often than normal and stools are difficult to pass. Some children with HD can't pass stool at all, which can result in the complete blockage of the intestines, a condition called intestinal obstruction. People with HD are born with it and are usually diagnosed when they are infants. Less severe cases are sometimes diagnosed when a child is older. An HD diagnosis in an adult is rare.
*See Pronunciation Guide for tips on how to say the words in bold type.
HD is a disease of the large intestine that causes severe constipation or intestinal obstruction.
The large intestine, which includes the colon and rectum, is the last part of the digestive tract. The large intestine's main job is to absorb water and hold stool. The rectum connects the colon to the anus. Stool passes out of the body through the anus. At birth, the large intestine is about 2 feet long. An adult's large intestine is about 5 feet long.
People with HD have constipation because they lack nerve cells in a part or all of the large intestine. The nerve cells signal muscles in the large intestine to push stool toward the anus. Without a signal to push stool along, stool will remain in the large intestine.
How severe HD is depends on how much of the large intestine is affected. Short-segment HD means only the last part of the large intestine lacks nerve cells. Long-segment HD means most or all of the large intestine, and sometimes the last part of the small intestine, lacks nerve cells.
In a person with HD, stool moves through the large intestine until it reaches the part lacking nerve cells. At that point, the stool moves slowly or stops, causing an intestinal obstruction.
Before birth, a child's nerve cells normally grow along the intestines in the direction of the anus. With HD, the nerve cells stop growing too soon. Why the nerve cells stop growing is unclear. Some HD is inherited, meaning it is passed from parent to child through genes. HD is not caused by anything a mother did while pregnant.
The main symptoms of HD are constipation or intestinal obstruction, usually appearing shortly after birth. Constipation in infants and children is common and usually comes and goes, but if your child has had ongoing constipation since birth, HD may be the problem.
Newborns with HD almost always fail to have their first bowel movement within 48 hours after birth. Other symptoms include
Symptoms of HD in toddlers and older children include
People with anemia tire easily because of a shortage of red blood cells.
HD is diagnosed based on symptoms and test results.
A doctor will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your child's bowel movements. HD is much less likely if parents can identify a time when their child's bowel habits were normal.
If HD is suspected, the doctor will do one or more tests.
An x ray is a black-and-white picture of the inside of the body. To make the large intestine show up better, the doctor may fill it with barium liquid. Barium liquid is inserted into the large intestine through the anus.
If HD is the problem, the last segment of the large intestine will look narrower than normal. Just before this narrow segment, the intestine will look bulged. The bulging is caused by blocked stool stretching the intestine.
During manometry, the doctor inflates a small balloon inside the rectum. Normally, the rectal muscles will relax. If the muscles don't relax, HD may be the problem. This test is most often done in older children and adults.
Biopsy is the most accurate test for HD. The doctor removes a tiny piece of the large intestine and looks at it with a microscope. If nerve cells are missing, HD is the problem.
HD is treated with surgery called a pull-through procedure. A surgeon removes the segment of the large intestine lacking nerve cells and connects the healthy segment to the anus. The pull-through procedure is usually done soon after diagnosis.
An ostomy allows stool to leave the body through an opening in the abdomen. Although most children with HD do not need an ostomy, a child who has been very sick from HD may need an ostomy to get better before the pull-through procedure.
For ostomy surgery, the surgeon first takes out the diseased segment of the large intestine. The end of the healthy intestine is moved to an opening in the abdomen where a stoma is created. A stoma is created by rolling the intestine's end back on itself, like a shirt cuff, and stitching it to the abdominal wall. An ostomy pouch is attached to the stoma and worn outside the body to collect stool. The pouch will need to be emptied several times each day.
If the surgeon removes the entire large intestine and connects the small intestine to the stoma, the surgery is called an ileostomy. If the surgeon leaves part of the large intestine and connects it to the stoma, the surgery is called a colostomy.
Later, during the pull-through procedure, the surgeon removes the stoma and closes the abdomen with stitches.
Infants will feel better after ostomy surgery because they will be able to easily pass gas and stool.
Older children will feel better, too, but they must adjust to living with an ostomy. They will need to learn how to take care of the stoma and how to change the ostomy pouch. With a few changes, children with ostomies can lead normal lives. However, they may worry about being different from their friends. A special nurse called an ostomy nurse can answer questions and show how to care for an ostomy.
An ostomy nurse can answer questions and show how to care for an ostomy.
Most children pass stool normally after the pull-through procedure. Children may have diarrhea for awhile, and infants and toddlers may develop diaper rash, which is treatable with diaper creams. Over time, stool will become more solid and the child will go to the bathroom less often. Toilet training may take longer. Children often must learn how to use the muscles of the anus after surgery. Some children may leak stool for awhile, but most will learn to have better bowel control as they get older.
After the pull-through procedure, children with long-segment HD need to drink more fluids. Now that the large intestine is shorter, or entirely gone, it is less able to absorb fluids the body needs. Drinking more helps make up for the loss.
Some infants may need tube feedings for awhile. A feeding tube allows infant formula or milk to be pumped directly into the stomach or small intestine. The feeding tube is passed through the nose or through an incision in the abdomen.
Eating high-fiber foods can help reduce constipation and diarrhea. Fiber helps form stool, making bowel movements easier. High-fiber foods include whole-grain breads, vegetables, and fruits. Some children may need laxatives to treat ongoing constipation. Consult a doctor before giving a laxative to your child.
People with HD can suffer from an infection of the intestines, called enterocolitis, before or after surgery. Symptoms include
Call the doctor right away if your child shows any of these signs.
Children with enterocolitis need to go to the hospital. An intravenous (IV) tube is inserted into a vein to give fluids and antibiotics. The large intestine is rinsed regularly with a mild saltwater solution until all stool has been removed. The solution may also contain antibiotics to kill bacteria. A temporary ostomy may be needed to help the intestine heal.
Sometimes infection is a sign of a problem with the pull-through procedure. More surgery may be needed to correct the problem and prevent future infections.
If you have a child with HD, your chance of having more children with HD is greater. Talk with your doctor about the risk.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports basic and clinical research into many digestive disorders, including HD. Scientists are studying the genetics involved in HD to improve diagnosis, treatment, and genetic counseling. They are also looking at therapies for treating enterocolitis, a major complication of HD.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

"I sent this following email to the Prophet, and sadly I got no response, what do my fellow believers think?

Dear Bobby
Being an avid Pastafarian, I of course wondered why no challenger to the FSM has been presented. Of course as a rule of the internet, a challenger always appears. So I got together with a few Pastafarian buddies of mine and we set out to search for the "Anti-pasta". Of course it was hard to figure out what could counter such a benevolent and infinitely delicious force. We came to the conclusion that it must be related to the fall of the pirates. We had of course many ideas, the kraken among them, but none really fit the bill. Disheartened of our failed search we later went to see Prince Caspian. And oddly enough we found the anti-pasta in the movie. In fact the anti-pasta declares itself in the end. In the end of Prince Caspian Aslan states that the origins of the Telmarines lie in PIRATES taken from this world. That's right Bobby, the anti-pasta is Aslan. I submit to you we as Pastafarians take a stand against all that is related to Aslan.

For illustration I have included the following image.
Here you can clearly see the Anti-Pasta, he who lead C.S. Lewis toward a false god, among the ORIGINAL trees on a mountain. He was responsible for the decline in pirates, as official Narnia canon clearly shows him as anti-pirate.

Just had to say - downloaded the ut 2003 demo and its fantastic ! Check it out!
Its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you havent done :P
I must concur 8)
im looking to download it shortly, but wait, its gone gold!
with linux version in the box!!! woo!!!!!!!!
I just got the demo for UT 2003. How do you install a ".bin" file again, I can't remember? I've done it before a while back but I just can't remember exactly what to do with it.
It is supposed to be a ".bin" file, right? In fact I also have a patch for the Linux demo, that is also the same kind of file.
you can either run
$sh file.bin
$./file.bin if it has the +x attribute set (chmod a+x file.bin)
i was wondering about something that i had read, and i qoute: ...The game requires video cards that can handle S3TC compression. As of this writing, only NVIDIA's binary drivers support that although I understand that ATI is working on it...
i read it here, got the link through linuxgames.
Anyone know what other cards may supoort this?
when running the demo, a nvidia splash screen come up, so it looks like its nvidia only at the moment.
Boycott EPIC Games and Nvidiot! :P :
Jim H
there had better be a patch asap, otherwise this game is gonna get little support from its linux community, bastids : : :-\
well, it looks like ATI is on there horse, i wonder if matrox will follow suit.............. :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :'(
...........still can't play ut2k3 :'(

Just thought I'd give it another try. Seems like the last attempt was sometime last May.
Maybe there's more interest now?
I hail from Oakland, work in the City, would be willing to travel a ways to meet other enlightened beings.
I work in a very Catholic and Baptist environment (yes, that does exist here), and man, do I need some refreshment. Pasta would work for me.

MAGNA - Tamara (Jammers) Jean Lee, 42, left us on April 4, 2011, to find the best fishing pond in heaven.
Tammy was born Aug. 15, 1968 to Dennis H. Lee and Trudy Ann Kilgore Lee.
She loved to fish and couldn't wait for her yearly trip to Forsyth Reservoir or the camping and 4-wheeling rides at "The Property". She took special pride in making sure her mom was taken care of, whether it was taking her to Quartside or making sure the tires were rotated and oil was changed in her car. She was happiest the last three years of her life, when she was with her soul mate, Nancy.
Tammy leaves behind her loving mother Trudy, brother Marty, niece Candace (Cree), the love of her life Nancy Alan, uncles, aunts and cousins, a special dad and mom, Lloyd and Vicki Keele and a special sister, Tracy (Rick) Collins. She also leaves behind her furry four-legged kids (the dogs, but don't tell them that is what they are), Baby, Sheba, Shelby and one three-legged cat, Miss Keller.
Tammy was preceded in death by her dad, Dennis Lee, grandparents, Alfred and Mary Kilgore and James and Mazie (Lee) Ferguson,.
No services will be held.
God touched you and you slept. Carried by the angels, as we wept. No discrimination in the heavens above, Only to be held by God and his pure love.

The Trust Lands Administration and the Department of Natural Resources have entered into a new agreement to continue to allow public hunting, trapping, fishing, and viewing of public wildlife on approximately 3.2 million acres of Utah trust lands while providing fair compensation to Utah's schoolchildren and other trust beneficiaries.
The agreement is for a 10-year term beginning September 1, 2007, continuing through September 1, 2016.
In addition to providing public access on trust lands, the Trust Lands Administration has agreed to not:
Join in any Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit for the life of the agreement
Enter into any agreement, lease, or contract that would preclude hunting, trapping, fishing, and viewing of public wildlife
The Trust Lands Administration:
Will continue to have jurisdiction and regulatory authority over trust lands
Can continue to pursue revenue generating activities on trust lands
Can continue to lease or sell trust lands
If the Trust Lands Administration sells or leases certain large blocks of trust land, the payment made by the Department of Natural Resources to Trust Lands will be reduced by specified amounts.
"I believe we have an accord that serves two worthy purposes - public access to premium hunting and recreational lands and fair compensation to the beneficial owners of those lands," said Kevin Carter, Director of the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration. "I am pleased with the outstanding effort the Department of Natural Resources and the Division of Wildlife Resources have devoted to this arrangement."
"We are pleased with this new agreement. It represents a fair balance between the interests of the Trusts Lands Administration and DNR," said Mike Styler, DNR Executive Director. "The agreement preserves these critical wildlife habitats and keeps them open to hunters, fishers and other wildlife enthusiasts."

I didn't know Frank personally in life, but I was on the scene shortly after he was killed and I helped recover his body. It was a sad day. He had a great reputation. I have not forgotten and will not forget him.
Next week I'm leaving to do a climb up Mount Kilimanjaro (highest peak in Africa) and I am dedicating it to our wounded & fallen comrades (http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/climbkilimanjaro/flanagan?fge=ask). I plan to take Frank's photo up to the roof of Africa to honor him (unless you oppose for some reason). I would be interested in taking his dog-tags or other special memento if you (his family) are interested. Please email me to let me know (email@example.com). I fly out on 14 Jun 2011. This is the only way I could figure out to get in touch with you...
I am sure Frank is with God now and I hope that you, his family, are all well.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced Monday that it had seized $21 million from the reserve account of "green" automaker Fisker Automotive after the company failed to make its first payment on federal loan guarantees totaling $192 million, the Daily Caller reports.
The California-based company received the guarantees as part of the 2009 "stimulus" law, which handed out $90 billion in subsidies and loan guarantees for various green-energy programs, many of which have foundered when confronted with the realities of the marketplace.
Fisker, too, has struggled throughout its brief existence. Since its inception in August 2007, the automaker has sold fewer than 2,200 cars, a third of which never left dealers' lots. The cars that were produced — the hybrid subcompact known as the Karma (shown) — were beset with problems: They were very small; had a limited driving range under electrical power and poor gas mileage when the batteries gave out; performed poorly in testing for Consumer Reports; and — worst of all — would spontaneously burst into flames. The company finally ceased production of Karmas last year.
In March, founder and executive chairman Henrik Fisker, who designed the Karma, resigned from the company. Three weeks later Fisker Automotive laid off 75 percent of its workforce; the company is now being sued for failing to give the terminated employees 60 days' notice and severance pay as required under federal law. Having failed to attract new investors in recent months, the automaker is now widely expected to file for bankruptcy. It recently hired the law firm of Kirkland and Ellis, which has one of the largest bankruptcy practices in the country, and the public-relations firm Sitrick and Co., which specializes in crisis management.
Henrik Fisker is among those slated to testify before the House Oversight Committee Wednesday in a hearing entitled "Green Energy Oversight: Examining the Department of Energy's Bad Bet on Fisker Automotive." The committee will have much to investigate, for while Fisker is largely privately funded, politics and government collaboration have played a major part in keeping it afloat for nearly six years despite its anemic performance.

Hi! Where exactly do I find a "how to" on remote start/alarms?
I have a viper system that I am interested in installing myself
Help Help Help!!
I am in desperate need of help. when i wired in my alarm i am trying to get the system to unlock itself, the lock feature works a treat but when i try to unlock all i manage to do is unlock the boot release, i know that the door unlock and trunk are both using the same wire (black/Yellow) so i assume i might need a relay or somthing, anyone had this poblem and overcome?? any ideas appreciated, i have tried for days now!!! HELP HELP HELP! firstname.lastname@example.com ford replies direct please thanks in advance
Captain(brain): Start the car soldier.
Soldier(thumb): Yes, captain. Press the start button.
Car: Cranks and vroom.
Soldier: Car is ready captain.
Captain: Good work, soldier.
I'm just happy. Everything is working! Thanks for the help of everyone especially John.
There is a how to program a key in the owner's manual. It is page 76.
try programming the key using the ignition key cylinder....
so, put key 1 in, turn it to 'on', wait for light to go off, shut car off (you have a 10 second window between keys)
put key 2 in, turn it to 'on', wait for light to go off, shut car off (same 10 second window)
put freshly cut key in, and START the vehicle.
if you purchased the correct key, the car should start and stay running. you have successfully programmed a 3rd key.
now, if you want to make sure youre remote start works w/o using the bypass module, do this trick ---
stick a GOOD key in the ignition but do not turn the cylinder... just stick it in. then, activate the remote start. if your wiring is correct, the vehicle WILL remote start. deactivate the remote start. take a key and put it in the bypass module.
if you're having trouble getting it started reliably, my suggestion is to make sure the antenna 'ring' is closer to the ignition key hole than the factory ring
the bypass module wiring looks good.
re: starter kill...
the blue wire gets connected to the ignition wire of the vehicle. what happens is, when you ARM the alarm. the ORANGE ['connect to orange wire of alarm'] wire goes to ground. currently, the starter wire is still connected through the pins 87a and 30 on the relay. the blue wire on the relay goes to the ignition wire for this simple reason:
lets say the thief gains acess to your interior, and tries (and successfully) gets a screwdriver to turn your ignition to the ON position. well, when the ignition wire gets energized, the relay also energizes BREAKING the contact between 87a and 30, thus not allowing the starter to crank... this is true even if you have the ignition key. once the key is turned back from off (or screwdriver or whatever), the relay will click 'off' and teh starter wire will be reconnected. you follow this ?
The alarm is now working except for the Remote Starter...
I got the Transponder keys cut. I was trying to program it but failed.
I did this :
1) put key #1 in the ignition, and turn the key forward (do not start vehicle) wait for (!) light
to go off. remove key
2) put key #2 in the ignition, turn key, wait for (!) to go off. remove key.
3) put the new cut key in the ignition and turn it on.
I think my third step is wrong. Do I have to just insert it without turning it on and wait a few seconds and take it out?
Or maybe I wired my Bypass Module wrong. This is what I did...
I connected the Blue/Black of the 9 pin connector to the White/Green of the Bypass Module and I connected the Yellow/Green of the B/M to the 12V constant(RED WIRE). Now, is my wiring correct for B/M?
I also have question about my wiring for the starter disable. I followed this diagram...
I connected everything as shown, but I am uncertain to where the blue wire goes. I did connect the blue wire of the relay to the Green/Yellow(Ignition1) of the Ignition switch harness. Did I do the wiring correctly?
|I did diode isolate them as you instructed me. Thanks for the professional help you gave me(& to others who have read this thread). I'll post (more) question when any problem arises.
few comments...
if you found both door triggers, without diode isolating them, you may cause problems with the door circuit. possibly when armed, this will inadvertantly set your alarm off. in other vehicles it does different (more crazy stuff. ie if you open your drivers door, the car thinks you opened a passenger rear door)
programming a 3rd key is pretty easy. i would take the key and get it cut (anywhere they cut keys), that way you have a spare ignition key. the one that you want to use for remote start...don't get it cut.
their programming instructions should be similar to this:
*place spare key in universal bypass module. place antenna ring around ignition cylinder. connect wiring to remote start.
*put key #1 in the ignition, and turn the key forward (do not start vehicle) wait for (!) light to go off. remove key
*put key #2 in the ignition, turn key, wait for (!) to go off. remove key.
*activate the remote start.
since the ring of the universal bypass is around the ignition, it transfers the encoded chipped signal down to the key thats in the universal box. however, good placement of the antenna will be critical. if the key was cut and you could put it in your ignition, it would maybe be less time consuming?
regarding where you have it mounted/hanging. yes, i realize there are a lot of wires, and i know this was your first install... but for next time, plans things out better. the first place a theif is going to look to disable an alarm system is under the drivers side dash. so, hopefully all your wires are taped or loomed such that they don't give off any hints to where things may be found.
Got it!
All I'm waiting for are the keys I ordered at ebay. I'm just gonna follow what Bulldog wrote on their site on how to program a key using the B/M.
I did not mount the R/S alarm module on the firewall, I proly hang it together with the bunch of wires(Is this a good idea?).
First thing in the morning, I'll test the alarm. Hoping everything works.
Thanks John for the help.
re #1: for negative triggered door locks (ie. focus), the wire should have positive voltage when the door is closed (the door pin is pushed in). the wire should go to 0v (ground) when the door is open (the door pin is at its 'rest' state). therefore, strip back some of the insulation on the suspected wire. set the voltmeter to DC volts. place the red probe of the meter on this wire. place the black probe on a solid grounding point (no paint!). Assuming you're doing this with the door open, the correct wire will show 0v when the door is open, and when you push the plunger (from the door pin) inwards, it should show positive voltage. as mentioned in my above post, in my focus, it was around 4v (with the pin pushed in)
re #2: the trunk pin is also negative, so it will test the same was as the doors... positive voltage will be seen on the wire with the trunk closed, 0v when the trunk is open. i'm not looking at the information at the moment, but the wire is found at the light in the hatch/trunk. go from there.
re #3: how many ignition keys do you already have for the vehicle? if you have only one, the ONLY way to make a duplicate key is to have ford do it for you. if you have two keys already, then, using the bypass module you can program the new keys...
More questions...
1. How do I test the door lock and the door unlock wires?
I have a Voltmeter/Tester. There is only one BLACK/RED wire but still uncertain. There are two BLACK/YELLOW wires and I found that the one is for the DRIVER DOOR PIN and still uncertain about the other one if it is for the DOOR UNLOCK.
2. How do I find the TRUNK PIN wire? What is its specific color?
I just ordered a pair of TRANSPONDER KEYS at ebay($16 EACH). One for spare, the other for the BYPASS MODULE( I still have the 2 original keys). I was reading the BULLDOG SEC. ONLINE, and according to them, I don't need to cut it to use it for the B/M.
3. How do I do this? I only have understanding of programming the cut T/Keys. Someone please walk me through on how to do this.
