It all started here. Well, not really, it's just where I'M going to start. The invitation. Designed by yours truly.
The lemonade stand (made by my hubby), which was used at a recent garage sale for my daughter to sell lemonade and goodies, is a detail from 'The Pink Drink' (shown on the table). Including the pink lemonade, which is also on the dessert table in the jars, and pink gumballs.
The doilies decorated different areas of the party. This was a given. You only have to open up the book to come across the cutesy doily pattern.
Pinkalicious' star wands for the girls and a few blue ones for the boys.
A felt Pinkalicious crown for the birthday girl.
The treat bag's goodies: A pink flower clip, crown shaped soap, pencil with a pinkalicious cupcake eraser and a cupcake shaped chalkboard. The favor bag tutorial is here.
Homemade bubble jars for the kids. Made with my stash of baby food jars and pipe cleaners for the bubble wands.
My beloved fabric pom poms. I don't know why I love these things so much, it must be the look of the delicate ruffles the fabric makes. I also hung my daughter's pink curtains in my kitchen to give the room a 'pink' feel.
The napkin pom pom garland. Made in this post and tied onto strips of tulle.
The dessert table consisted of lollipops, star wand sugar cookies, pink candy coated pretzels, pinkalicious cupcake marshmallow pops, cotton candy jelly beans, sour strawberry candy sticks, pink candy corn, sour cream soda candy, watermelon, strawberries, pink lemonade and, of course, Pinkalicious cupcakes (which were raspberry lemonade with lemon buttercream frosting).
The backdrop was inspired by the ones in the original book. When Pinkalicious turns pink, she blends in with the pink flowers.
Remember these pink cups? Told you they'd make an appearance.
This little baby was used for our 'pin the cupcake on Pinkalicious' game.
The birthday girl and her brother's in their pink shirts. In case you're wondering, the boys shirts say 'Real Men Wear Pink' (this is a saying used to sell breast cancer shirts for men, just in case you're wondering. I did not make it up on my own.) And my daughter's shirt was in this post.
The bubble blowing. Definitely a hit. And Pinkalicious is a bubble blower in 'The Pink Drink'. P.S. Here's the hubby in his matching pink shirt. What sports.
The finale of the party. My birthday girl blowing out her candle. She was pretty excited for that part.

Gave out points to multiple people today, some very fine statements made recently!
I was going through thezeroes link to the minor league free agents and found a couple that might be worth trying to sign. Any thoughts from the rest of you?
Anthony Contreras-looks like a fine utility player capable of handling the middle infield or even in a bind the OF.
Tyler LaTorre-Back up Catcher, but just one injury and we are all saying "Oh Crap!"
In the end it's just another avenue to pour over and over. The goal of having ML players ready to go is first priority. Though you also want your AAA affiliate playing at a very high level. For too long there has been a chasm between Bowie and OPACY.

In reaching the required 15 credit hours each student must take either the Mediation Practicum or the Multiparty Mediation Practicum Both courses have both a classroom component and a clinical component, in which the students mediating actual disputes with feedback and analysis by the faculty. The practica are co-taught by a regular faculty member and the Langdon Fellow, with a one to eight faculty-student ratio.
Each student must also earn credit in an approved dispute resolution seminar, which may include the mediation practicum when it is taught as a seminar, in which the student completes a substantial and high quality scholarly paper in the dispute resolution field. Those who hold the Certificate should be prepared to make innovative contributions to the field as they practice within it.
In addition to the courses identified above, the following courses are available to satisfy the Certificate requirements:

Through the externship hours, students will gain experience beyond that of the required clinical course in mediation, while still under the guidance of law faculty.

Which Style Home Would You Choose?Friday, January 13th, 2012
I notice the architectural details of homes everywhere I go, I just can't stop, it's an obsession of mine. My mister has grown accustomed to me shouting "Stop the car! Check out that house!" followed up by "I neeeeed to take a picture!". This happens a lot when we take a road trip or travel, we drive around the neighborhoods to get a feel for the real estate in the region. I love so many styles from Colonial to Craftsman and it's so hard to commit to just one favorite. Are any of you the same? Do you go pretend house hunting too?
Anyway, I thought it would be fun this weekend to find out what style of home is your favorite. Is is a country farmhouse that makes you swoon, or a modern contemporary structure that makes you go ga ga? Here's a look at ten popular styles of residential architecture in America, and then you can vote for your favorite at the end!
1. Craftsman Bungalow: Triangular low pitched roofs and mixed materials of brick, wood, and stone make this style of home one of the most popular in the country. Craftsman bungalows have recessed covered porches with tapered square columns, overhanging eaves, decorative brackets, and exposed rafters.

Time's Eye: Book One of A Time Odysseyby Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Sir Arthur C. Clarke is a living legend, a writer whose name has been synonymous with science fiction for more than fifty years. An indomitable believer in human and scientific potential, Clarke is a genuine visionary. If Clarke has an heir among today's science fiction writers, it is award-winning author Stephen Baxter. In each of his acclaimed novels, Baxter has demonstrated dazzling gifts of imagination and intellect, along with a rare ability to bring the most cerebral science dramatically to life. Now these two champions of humanism and scientific speculation have combined their talents in a novel sure to be one of the most talked-about of the year, a 2001 for the new millennium.
For eons, Earth has been under observation by the Firstborn, beings almost as old as the universe itself. The Firstborn are unknown to humankind— until they act. In an instant, Earth is carved up and reassembled like a huge jigsaw puzzle. Suddenly the planet and every living thing on it no longer exist in a single timeline. Instead, the world becomes a patchwork of eras, from prehistory to 2037, each with its own indigenous inhabitants.
Scattered across the planet are floating silver orbs impervious to all weapons and impossible to communicate with. Are these technologically advanced devices responsible for creating and sustaining the rifts in time? Are they cameras through which inscrutable alien eyes are watching? Or are they something stranger and more terrifying still?
The answer may lie in the ancient city of Babylon, where two groups of refugees from 2037—three cosmonauts returning to Earth from the International Space Station, and three United Nations peacekeepers on a mission in Afghanistan—have detected radio signals: the only such signals on the planet, apart from their own. The peacekeepers find allies in nineteenth-century British troops and in the armies of Alexander the Great. The astronauts, crash-landed in the steppes of Asia, join forces with the Mongol horde led by Genghis Khan. The two sides set out for Babylon, each determined to win the race for knowledge . . . and the power that lies within.
Yet the real power is beyond human control, perhaps even human understanding. As two great armies face off before the gates of Babylon, it watches, waiting. . . .
"[A]n exciting tale full of high-tech physics, military tactics and larger-than-life characters....Although not flawless, this is probably the best book to appear with Clarke's name on it in a decade." Publishers Weekly
"[H]as more in common with...a Star Trek episode than with the philosophical speculations of vintage Clarke or first-rate Baxter. Nevertheless, the adventure is rousing, and I can't imagine anyone finishing this book and not wondering what comes next." Gerald Jonas, The New York Times Book Review
"Curiously sloppy, with biographical contradictions and a rationale that's inconsistently applied: despite the many echoes of 2001, more spectacle than substance." Kirkus Reviews
"Baxter's panoramic visions and Clark's lucid and precise storytelling combine to form a series opener that belongs in all sf collections. Highly recommended." Library Journal
"With Clarke and Baxter collaborating smoothly, this is a fine exploration of themes that Clarke has explored regularly since Childhood's End (1953), at least, and good news for those who enjoy both men's work." Roland Green, Booklist
The first of two connected novels in the Time Odyssey series by the master of science fiction and his hand-selected successor.
About the Author
Arthur C. Clarke is considered the greatest science fiction writer of all time and is an international treasure in many other ways, including the fact that an article by him in 1945 led to the invention of satellite technology. Books by Clarke—both fiction and nonfiction—have sold more than one hundred million copies in print worldwide. He lives in Sri Lanka.
Stephen Baxter is a trained engineer with degrees from Cambridge and Southampton Universities. Baxter is the acclaimed author of the Manifold novels and Evolution. He is the winner of the British Science Fiction Award, the Locus Award, the John W. Campbell Award, and the Philip K. Dick Award, as well as being a nominee for an Arthur C. Clarke Award.

Roy Hunter wrote:Why should we copy the Roman Catholic Church? We have ordained ministers, and you can study for a Doctorate in Pastafarian Theology, but there the similarities end. The RC Pope is infallible: even our god is a drunken dumbass. The RC Church has enormous wealth and real estate holdings: we haven't even got a pirate ship. The RC church has rigid and inflexible doctrines: we have a bunch of guidance, you can take it, you can leave it, we don't really mind one way or the other.
Why should we emulate an organisation that is so different to us? I don't think we stand to gain anything by doing so.
A much-missed former poster on this board, who now drinks deeply at the beer volcano and admires the outputs of the stripper factory, used to carry a card proclaiming himself to be a Pope, and requiring to be afforded all the privileges entailed by his rank. Perhaps you could get one of those?
mathsisfun wrote:If we're copying the catholics church system, new bishops are chosen from the pool of priests.
They have a council of bishops, who decide when a new bishop is needed and which of the priests to elevate. A priest can't just apply or pay a fee, so if they wanted to be elevated they would have to do things like charity work to draw attention to themseelves. The council can decide who to elevate when another bishop is needed, but the pope can veto any decision.
This system would be hard to start up though. I'd suggest having 50 or so very active priests made bishops, and they can choose a pope. Then they can raise enough priests to be bishops to get a large enough pool of bishops to support a heirarchy above it. In the case of the catholic church, there is about 1 bishop for every 40 priests, but I think about 1 in 15 would work best. Next, the pope can choose an even more select group to be cardinals. The catholic church has 1 for every 10 bishops. This group of cardinals would elect the pope and elevate priests to bishops, and the elected pope would elevate bishops to cardinals.
Cardinal Fang wrote:I think having a Pope might make people think we're just copying and therefore making fun of other religions, and hence aren't a real religion. That would be bad!
And if we need a person to represent us and be our public face and all-round spokesguy, we have our prophet Bobby Henderson (PBUH). I don't see the need for a single head of our church.
Besides, as most theological questions seem to be agreed by consensus (e.g. the loose cannon), this would seem to be the model for how the church operates - people swapping ideas and eventually a communal answer being formed.

The SPEXER™ Security Radar Family
The SPEXER radars are the first operational land-based surveillance radars worldwide using Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology as well as innovative Digital Beam Forming (DBF) technology benefiting from our experience gained in the military sector
Main Operational Advantages
- Surveillance of large areas and for long distances leads to a very early warning and a high level of situational awareness (even very small and slowly moving targets such as pedestrians, swimmers, rubber dinghies, etc. can be detected)
- Tracking and automatic classification of multiple targets reliably supports the operator
- Multi-tasking capability (one SPEXER radar can replace several conventional radars and allows for very flexible surveillance scenarios)
- High clutter suppression for detection in harsh environments (e.g. waves in the maritime sector, bushes in the land sector)
- Low lifecycle cost due to electronic scanning instead of a permanently rotating antenna and high-redundant parts
- Consulting for system integrators with respect to radar network design (definition of the adequate radar package, simulation on where the radars would be best positioned)
- Site survey for radar placement planning
- Support for integration of radar package into security system (interface, etc.)
- Installation / Setting to Work / After Sales and In-Service Support
The SPEXER Security Radar Family consists of the following products:
- SPEXER™ 500 - Security Radar for Camp, Perimeter and Infrastructure Surveillance
- SPEXER™ 1000 - Security Radar for Camp, Perimeter and Infrastructure Surveillance
- SPEXER™ 1500 - Security Radar for Large Perimeter and Border Surveillance
- SPEXER™ 2000 - Security Radar for Border Surveillance
- SPEXER™ 2000 Coastal - Security Radar for Coastal Surveillance

STILLWATER - OFA did two things against Hoosick Falls, in Friday nights New York State Quarter-Final Class C football game, that no other team had done all season.
The Blue Devils scored a first quarter touchdown and made the Section 2 champion Panthers play from behind.
But prevailing in a matchup of staunch defenses, undefeated Hoosick Falls gained an advantage with the place-kicking artistry of Damon Dubois and scored 24 straight points in a 27-6 victory at Stillwater High School.
We were never able to run against their defense, they were really tough up front. And their kicker was a real weapon, said OFA coach Matt Tessmer after the contest where Dubois booted a 36-yard field goal in the first quarter, a 34-yarder in the third quarter and added three PATs as the undefeated defending state champions moved on to the New York State Class C semi-finals.
But we played so tough and we were so resilient tonight.
The Blue Devils used their resiliency by answering Dubois first field goal with a second quarter scoring drive capped when quarterback Josh Liebstein found fullback Jordan McCormick in the endzone on a rollout pass from six yards out.
Liebstein (9x28-0-127) also connected with McCormick (4-40) for a 20-yard gain on a screen pass in the drive and set up the TD by finding Jon Tayler to convert a fourth and 10 situation.
With the OFA defense jamming the Panthers running attempts the Devils generated another threat in the second quarter when Liebstein collaborated with Nick Sweeney (3-72) with a 56-yard bomb.
But the Panthers secured a red zone stop and regained the lead for good when fullback Brandon Hodges (14-61 rushing, 2-89 receiving) scored on an eight yard run after rambling 62 yards with a screen pass. Quarterback Garrett Wright, who completed eight of 22 passes for 150 yards, sustained the drive picking up a critical first down on a keeper.
The Devils were never able to answer against the Panthers defense and Wright making the right decision on a keeper would produce the games most pivotal play midway through the fourth quarter.
With the Panthers holding a 13-6 lead Wright called his own number on a fourth and one play and broke off a 13-yard run to the one-yardline.
He scored on the next play and the Panthers took a 20-6 lead with 7:56 to play.
Hoosick Falls momentum cascaded when Dave Hardesty returned a fumble 32 yards to endzone shortly after Liebstein was knocked out of the game with an injury.
The fourth down play was an option and Garrett Wright made a great decision. At first I didnt think he was going to keep it but he always does a great job with that play, said Hoosick Falls coach Ron Jones.
Our defense staff did a great job making defensive adjustments tonight. We knew they (OFA) were really on a roll and they were a very tough team and very resilient.
The Devils resiliency continued well after the issue had been decided. Both Jon Rogers and Nick Sweeney carried a gang of tackles for several yards on the kickoffs.
We played like champions tonight and these guys will be champions for the rest of their lives, said Tessmer.
We had some great seniors who really set the tone for the season. They were very competitive and they gave us great toughness.
Jordan McCormick led OFA with seven tackles, Joe Loffler and Jake King followed with six and Will Pearson blocked a punt. Mike Mattott and Derek Bird each had six tackles for Hoosick Falls and Jake Bakaitis had a sack.

Dr. Michael J. Powell's Ratings
Dr. Powell is amazing, wonderful, kind, caring, and genuinely full of information to get you healthy. He does not like to just prescribe medication to cover up your symptoms. He wants to get to the root of the problem and cure you of your disease. His research is cutting edge, and he never stops trying to learn more information about healing. I have been his patient for 7 years, and I will never see another Rheumatologist. His has helped me get my RA not only under control, but 90% in remission.

Dr Powell has helped me when other doctors have given up. he thinks outside of the box and is determined to find solutions to my health problems. Dr Powell also refers to other excellent physicians if the issue is outside the scope of his expertise. I am very grateful for his medical care.

I'd had CFIDS for 2 years when I started treatment with Dr. Powell. Although his treatment plan seemed sound, at first, it eventually became apparent that he although he based his plan off a popular book, he was not well versed these methods, nor was he certified through the author's program of physician education. The biggest issue was that when I started to have severe negative reactions as a direct result of the supplements and meds, both he and his P.A. blamed me for "not wanting to get well." When I requested my records, I found that almost none of these negative consequences were noted, and those that were noted were belittled (e.g. mild nausea instead of abdominal pain). I'm now hypersensitive to all of the medications and supplements from this treatment and cannot use them, which is unfortunate, as about 5% have been shown to be helpful. Five years later, I have not recovered the level of function I lost on Dr. Powell's treatment program.

Dr. Powell is the greatest. I am a health care provider from Grass Valley, CA who has the privelege to refer patients to Dr. Powell. When I have a patient that I cannot make an accurate diagnosis, Dr. Powell does a great job figuring out the case and making the appropriate treatment for the case.

I am 45yr old female and I have been chronically ill for years. I have four children and have seen many doctors that have tried to help me. Dr. Powell has been the only doctor that has done extensive testing on me. He is by far the most knowledgable doctor I have ever been to. He goes beyond modern medicine to find answers and solutions. Thou I am currently ill, Dr. Powell has a plan for me and hopes for a good road to recovery for me. Most of all for me I trust him and believe he truely wants to see his patients get diagnosed and treated. I have Celiac Disease, Fibromyalgia, Anemia as well as other medical issues that I am being tested for. I wish I had found him years ago, I believe my condition would not be as advanced as it is today.

Dr. Powell is excellent, honest, and a very good communicator. He keeps up on the latest research. He doesn't talk down to patients and make them feel like losers just because they have chronic fatigue. My other primary care doctors rolled their eyes at me and scoffed at me and told me my pain and symptoms were all in my head. After a surgery, I started making progress with my health and with my fatigue level, when I came to Dr. Powell and his PA, Michael. Dr. Powell is honest and tells the truth to his patients. This is very important to me. Other doctors say one thing to your face and write a different story in your medical records. If you have chronic fatigue, try going to Dr. Powell a few times.

Dr. Powell specializes in treating patients with Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia, and is extremely knowledgeable of current medical developments in these poorly understood and often under-diagnosed diseases. As a patient who suffered from an undiagnosed illness for ten years, I consider myself very fortunate to have found Dr. Powell and to receive his care and treatment.

Manlius The Manlius Chamber of Commerce is encouraging residents to discover Manlius throughout the month of October through its buy local campaign.
Last year, the event was held for only two weeks. But for 2013, the Chamber decided to expand the campaign to run from Oct. 1 through the 31st.
"We need to have support for local merchants to keep the tax dollars here," said Chamber of Commerce member Judy Dardzinski, who came up with the idea for the buy local campaign last year. "These are the people that continually get asked for donations and support for many different organizations and we're thankful that they do that. But we also need to keep the businesses here in the town of Manlius."
The idea for the event came to Dardzinski after she attended the Madison County Farm Days, in which participants receive a booklet and are encouraged to visit as many local farms as possible. When a person goes to a participating farm, the farmer stamps the booklet to show that the person was there. And in the end, the person turns in the stamped book to be eligible to win prizes.
The buy local event in the town of Manlius is very similar, except instead of visiting farms, residents may visit local businesses to obtain their stickers. Anyone interested can find the booklets at the Fayetteville or Manlius Tops, the East Area YMCA, or at any of the 54 participating business.
The number of stickers a person collects determines whether they are entered in a drawing to win $50, $100 or $200 in "Manlius Bucks," which can be used at any business participating in the campaign.
Mary Wykstra, a district leader at Primerica in East Syracuse, is the chairperson of this year's buy local event. She said that while the idea of supporting local business is a big part of the campaign, it's also about making connections within the community and educating the public as to what businesses are out there.

GLENN DALE, MD (WUSA9) -- The epidemic of teen murders here in Prince George's County has left a lot of us in despair.
If we knew why this was happening, one principal said, we would have stopped it by now.
But lots of people are searching for solutions, including Walter Kirkland, who has formed a new chapter here of 100 Black Men."What you see is what you'll be," Kirkland says of the volunteer group that sets out to give young African American men role models.
The Centers for Disease Control says homicide is the second leading cause of death for all young people... it's number one for young African Americans.
"These kids, many of them, don't believe they're going to live past 30 years old," says Kirkland."I can see how someone would take someone's life, because they're frustrated, they're in dire straights, and there's no where to go."
Kirkland says 100 Black Men screens volunteers, and then uses them to offer young men "life skills, presentation skills, survival skills, how to communicate."
Kirkland says he knows what its like. He was raised by a single mom in a poor neighborhood, but won an athletic scholarship to Rutgers, and that put him on a path to help others. "I identified two kids that call me on a regular basis, just for a phone conversation. to say, 'Hey Walt, I'm ok.' These kids are hungry, these kids are struggling. These kids are juniors or seniors that are trying to find someone to grab on to. And they just call me to talk men things."
Kirkland's own son, 11 year old Chase, admits he's scared. "It makes no sense at all. Over shoes. For real?" But says having his dad around makes him feel protected. "He's been like my role model."
And Kirkland says volunteers can offer the same help to other young men without dads around. "They see a guy in a suit, a guy who's approachable. And they just grab them.
Pin stripes or prison stripes is one of the mottos of 100 Black Men.
Kirkland says they are look for more mentors -- and mentees -- and if you want to be part of it.

Defining the Genetic Basis for the Development of Primary Pigmented Nodular Adrenocortical Disease (PPNAD) and the Carney Complex
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Lentiginosis refers to groups of diseases marked by the presence of pigmented spots on the skin. These conditions are most commonly associated with multiple tumors and changes in hormone producing glands. The cause of these diseases is unknown, but researchers suggest there may be a level of inheritance involved in their development. Meaning to say that some of these diseases may "run in the family" and be passed down form generation to generation.
Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is a pituitary-independent, primary adrenal form of hypercortisolism characterized by;
- < TAB> Resistance to suppression by the drug dexamethasone
- < TAB> The body is unable to secrete cortisol in a normal rhythm
- < TAB> Distinct microscopic changes of both adrenal glands
PPNAD can be associated with tumors (myxomas) of the skin, heart, breast, tumors (swannomas) of the nerve sheaths, pigmented spots (nevi and lentigines) of the skin, growth hormone (GH) producing tumors of the pituitary gland, and tumors of the testicles, ovaries, and thyroid gland. In the presence of these associations the condition is referred to as the Carney Complex. Presently there are no tests for screening of PPNAD and the Carney Complex. In addition, it is unknown how these conditions are genetically transferred from generation to generation.
This study proposes to use standard methods of clinical testing for endocrine and nonendocrine diseases and genetic testing in order to;
- < TAB> Define the genetic basis for PPNAD and/or the Carney Complex.
- < TAB> Determine the molecular changes associated with the development of the tumors.
- < TAB> Identify carriers of the disease.
- < TAB> Determine the prognosis for carriers and affected individuals.
- < TAB> Provide sufficient data for genetic counseling of families with PPNAD and/or Carney Complex.< TAB>

|Official Title:
|Definition of the Genotype and Clinical Phenotype of Primary Pigmented Nodular Adrenocortical Disease (PPNAD), Carney Complex, Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome and Related Conditions
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|January 1995
Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is a pituitary-independent, primary adrenal form of hypercortisolism characterized by (a) resistance to suppression by dexamethasone and abolition of the normal diurnal rhythm of cortisol secretion, and (b) distinctive, bilateral, histopathologic changes of the adrenal glands, such as the formation of variably sized, pigmented nodular adenomas, loss of normal zonation and atrophy of the extranodular cortex. PPNAD can be associated with a variety of other manifestations, such as myxomas of the skin, heart, breast and other sites, psammomatous melanotic swannomas involving the peripheral nervous system (PNS), lentigines and blue nevi of the skin and mucosae, growth hormone (GH)-producing adenomas of the pituitary, testicular Sertoli cell tumors, and possibly other neoplasms (adrenocortical and thyroid follicular carcinoma, and ovarian cysts). These associations constitute a distinct clinical syndrome, Carney complex, a genetic syndrome. At present, there are no standardized screening tests for the members of families with affected individuals and the molecular mechanism(s) of this hereditary single and/or multiple neoplasia syndrome have not been completely elucidated (e.g. patients who meet clinical criteria for Carney complex but test negative for PRKAR1A mutation . This study seeks to define the genetic basis of PPNAD and/or Carney complex in sporadic and familial cases and the molecular pathogenesis of their tumors, to identify the carriers of the familial forms of the disease, and to determine the prognosis for carriers and affected individuals. The methods include standard clinical testing for endocrine and nonendocrine pathologic conditions of the subjects of the study, linkage analysis with DNA markers from areas of the genome likely to harbor the responsible gene(s), and finally genetic screening of these genes. Molecular studies of the tumors of the patients will provide additional clues for the pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to PPNAD/Carney complex. The study will ultimately provide sufficient data for genetic counseling of families with PPNAD and/or Carney complex, and, ultimately, the means for genetic screening and prenatal testing.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|3 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
All patients with PPNAD and/or Carney Complex by history and their siblings, children and parents. Additional relatives and their families that are suspected to have the same disorder on clinical grounds will be recruited:
- PPNAD patients will be included if their diagnosis is fully documented. First-degree relatives of patients with the disease will be accepted also for evaluation, or if already conclusively evaluated elsewhere, for DNA linkage analysis only.
- Patients with suspected Carney complex will be accepted for evaluation and/or DNA analysis for linkage, if they have at least two of the following:
- cardiac myxoma
- cutaneous myxoma
- breast myxoma
- oral myxoma
- myxoma of the external ear
- spotty mucocutaneous pigmentation (lentigines)
- testicular tumor
- pituitary growth hormone secreting adenoma
- nerve tumor, such as psammomatous melanotic schwannoma
first-, second-, or third-degree relatives with Carney complex
(c) Patients with one of the familial lentiginosis syndromes: Peutz-Jeghers and LEOPARD syndrome, other forms of familial lentiginosis.
For DNA analysis and linkage study:
1. Unwillingness to participate.
For clinical evaluation and DNA analysis/linkage study:
- Patients with major illnesses, such as severe renal failure, restrictive or obstructive lung disease, cardiac disease, anemia and/or terminal cancer that will not be able to undergo appropriate testing or the stress of hospitalization. Also, patients with Carney complex and a known heart tumor (heart myxoma) will not be able to enter the clinical part of the study until after surgical treatment of their tumor. These patients, however, will be asked to participate in the DNA analysis study.

I flew Turkish airlines Toronto to Istanbul return in a B777-300 upgraded with Comfort Class seats: the most comfortable flight I have ever experienced. I am a long-legged 6'2" male and was unable to touch the seat in front even with my legs fully extended. Seat width is 19.5 "; seat pitch 46" (this is not a misprint!); in-seat video is a touch screen 10.6" with over 400 channels; recline is 8.8". Meals are gourmet style with choice of entrees and wines, served on white linen cloths. Cabin is 2-3-2 style but even the middle seats can be reached without disturbing aisle passengers. Seats are comfortable, service is excellent. This was superior even to my Air Canada business class seat Toronto to Dublin. It's a shame Turkish only flies to Istanbul from Toronto. Current cost is about $1350 return ,comparable to ECONOMY fares on other airlines which also require a transfer in Europe, adding hours to your travel time. This is flying as it should be without charging an arm and a leg.
Well not exactly the 1%. They fly private.
With someone else paying for it.
My thoughts exactly...
Virgin Americas Main Cabin Select is a huge ripoff. Something like $150 more for a 3 hour flight and quite frankly, one is barely able to tell the difference between the MCS and economy class when looking at the seats.

Jan Robert Leegte, Remake of Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty in Minecraft (2013).
Jan Robert Leegte's title leaves little to be explained. From sunrise to sunset in 12 minutes, and from a fixed angle, we see the famous Jetty rendered in blocky pale yellow over equally clunky, rich blue water, below slow-moving Tetris-shaped clouds. With digital facility, Smithson's piece has been taken from its Utah site and injected into the non-site of Minecraft. Gone are the inconsistent pinks, reds, and purples of numerous Jetty photographs. They've been replaced with the bright color blocks of a Minecraft world.
Minecraft—in which users are encouraged to "build anything they can imagine"—provides an ideal support for Leegte's Jetty. The game has an inherent Romanticism, evidenced by its creation of an open, natural world, in which players wander, survive, marvel, and build. (Nicholas O'Brien's video game The Wanderer (2012), may have most rigorously explored the implications of digital Romanticism.) Visually, Minecraft doesn't disguise its particulate texture, foregrounding instead the raw pixelated material of synthesized images. The sun and moon emerge as squares from a flat horizon. The jetty itself has a too-perfect straight line and a clunky curvature, reminiscent of the balance of rough texture and precision in Smithson's Jetty.
That Jetty is—by design—subject to the chaos of nature and decay. It was a place where, as Smithson wrote, "No ideas, no concepts, no systems, no structures, no abstractions could hold themselves together in the actuality of that evidence." Leegte's jetty, though, isn't subject to that kind of change. The monitor could break or the lights could go out, but the Minecraft jetty won't sink under water or crumble apart. It exists in an algorithmic landscape, which embraces variability within ...

The smashing of champagne bottles against a massive road grader in Nine Mile Canyon Monday afternoon made it official: the anticipated road improvement work has begun full-scale operations.
It's a project that will, in the words of Bill Barrett Corp. Communication Manager Jim Felton, "bring Nine Mile Canyon road far from its 19th century roots to 21st century standards."
Those standards are designed to improve safety and reduce dust on the old dirt road, which has seen increasingly heavy truck use since Bill Barrett began developing its West Tavaputs natural gas leases in 2002.
Carbon County Commissioner John Jones also noted that the improvements are intended to enhance tourism and protect the archaeological treasures of the canyon.
The improvements will affect 34 miles of the Nine Mile road from the Soldier Creek Mine to Cottonwood Canyon, one mile of Harmon Canyon and one mile in Gate Canyon.
Plans call for grading, with gravel and hard surfacing over most of the road. Some sections with sharp curves and steep grades will require asphalt for a more durable surface to prevent tearing.
In addition to the surface improvements, the project also entails culverts and ditches to prevent erosion and washouts, and protection of the creek channel.
The work is expected to be completed by December 2012. During that time, contractor W.W. Clyde, BBC and the county will be working with federal, state and Native American archaeological experts to monitor construction in culturally sensitive sites - ancient rock art and structures - to avoid damage.
The county has already considered temporary impacts on tourism and tourism promotion. At a recent sesssion of the county commission, commissioner Mike Milovich recommended modifying the Travel Bureau's promotional brochure to advise people to expect delays during the construction period.
Bill Barrett Corp. will be paying for half of the $20 million construction cost. The balance will be made up with $5 million from the state Community Impact Boardand $5 million from various funding sources within the county.

JD Leonard, Kyle Leonard and Zachery Rodriguez show of JD's prize Elk behind Miner's Trading Post in Sunnyside. Leonard was able to take the bull near Cold Spring on Sept. 22, after a full season of scouting and hunting.
Leonard is a life-long East Carbon resident and employee at Joy Mining Machinery, he is also a hunting enthusiast who enjoys taxidermy. According to Leonard's Facebook account of the hunt, he "found the bull in July with Kyle Leonard and Cory McCubbin, watched him in August with Kyle Leonard and took him in September with Kyle Leonard and Zach Rodriguez."
Leonard took the bull with his Ruger 30-06 from 50 yards on Sept. 21, tracked the elk into the next day and located the bull approximately 100 yards from the area of his first shot.
"It was nerve racking to shoot an elk of that size, I have always hunted deer but this was my first elk so I was pretty nervous, explained Leonard. "Being part of the Brown Gold Outfitters Team, which just started up in Price, gave me a lot of confidence. It was a big bonus to be out there with other experienced hunters."
Leonard's 6x6 point Elk scored 340 points.

And that's my cue (provided 20 year olds qualify as "early-20-somethings").
When I was a Junior, I hated most the freshman class, just due to the general maturity difference. However, I got along well with the odd handful of freshman who weren't idiots (all five of them). So I don't see any real reason why it couldn't work.....though I've seen enough high school and college relationships disintegrate to know that there's a good chance anything you try won't work out.

Archive for the 'world's smallest fire engine' tag
Talkin' truckin' with the truckers themselves
Just as we here at Hemmings take pride in the Hemmings Nation of readers, commenters and contributors, our friends across the pond over at BigLorryBlog take equal pride in their Anorak Army of readers and contributors, many of whom actually had seat time in the trucks, lorries, utes, semis and buses that the blog covers.
And many of them have contributed some of the most interesting vintage material at the blog in recent weeks, from the pics that Gary Richards sent in of the Australian White coach-buses (including the above photo) to the follow-up photos sent in by Martin Phippard of a similar Marmon coach-bus used for an overland Damascus-to-Baghdad route in the 1930s. Jerry Burley and Mack Mackay sent in some photos of some unusual snow-blowers and the rigs that pushed them, while Graham Kircher sent in a photo of what they believe to be the world's smallest fire engine.
While most of their readers are, obviously, British and concerned with British trucking (such as Les Freathy and his Scammell), they do on occasion cover American trucks – or, in the parlance, "Yankee Clippers" (such as Jimmie and his GMC crackerbox) – and Australian trucks (such as Cam and his photos from the Allora Truck and Tractor Show).
Even better, the readership sheds plenty of light on pretty much any mystery truck Brian posts to the blog. In fact, I've yet to see them totally stumped. Perhaps we should set up a mystery vehicle competition between Hemmings Nation and the Anorak Army sometime?

Twice the size of Arizona, Botswana is in south-central Africa, bounded by Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Most of the country is near-desert, with the Kalahari occupying the western part of the country. The eastern part is hilly, with salt lakes in the north.
Parliamentary republic.
The earliest inhabitants of the region were the San, who were followed by the Tswana. About half the country today is ethnic Tswana. The term for the country's people, Batswana, refers to national rather than ethnic origin.
Encroachment by the Zulu in the 1820s and by Boers from Transvaal in the 1870s and 1880s threatened the peace of the region. In 1885, Britain established the area as a protectorate, then known as Bechuanaland. In 1961, Britain granted a constitution to the country. Self-government began in 1965, and on Sept. 30, 1966, the country became independent. Botswana is Africa's oldest democracy.
The new country maintained good relations with its white-ruled neighbors but gradually changed its policies, harboring rebel groups from South Rhodesia as well as some from South Africa.
Although Botswana is rich in diamonds, it has high unemployment and stratified socioeconomic classes. In 1999, the nation suffered its first budget deficit in 16 years because of a slump in the international diamond market. Yet Botswana remains one of the wealthiest and most stable countries on the continent.
After 17 years in power, President Ketumile Masire retired in 1997, and Festus Mogae, an Oxford-educated economist, became the new president. Mogae has won high marks from the international financial community for continuing to privatize Botswana's mining and industrial operations.
AIDS: Botswana's Biggest Challenge
Although Botswana's economic outlook remains strong, the devastation that AIDS has caused threatens to destroy the country's future. In 2001, Botswana had the highest rate of HIV infection in the world (350,000 of its 1.6 million people). With the help of international donors, however, it launched an ambitious national campaign that provided free antiviral drugs to anyone who needed them, and by March 2004, Botswana's infection rate had dropped significantly. But with 37.5% of the population infected, the country remains on the brink of catastrophe. President Mogae won a second and final four-year term in Oct. 2004.
After serving 10 years as deputy president, Ian Khama, the son of Botswana's first president, Seretse Khama, was inaugurated as president in April 2008. Festus Mogae stepped aside after 10 years in office. Khama won a five-year term in October 2009, when his Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) party won 45 out of 57 seats in Parliament.
In the 2014 election, Ian Khama won a second term as president. It was the eleventh straight victory for his Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) party. BDP took 37 of the 57 National Assembly seats. During his 2014 campaign, Khama vowed to take on poverty and unemployment in his next term.

MASSENA - A local ironworkers union official urged Alcoa to hire locally if it chooses to move ahead on the modernization of its Massena operations.
Local 440 Business Manager Robert J. Cole said the proposed $600 million plus project would do a lot to help the struggling area economy. Mr. Cole said he does not want to see a repeat of a recent project to repair the roof of a fire-damaged casthouse, which was contracted to an out-of-state company.
Mr. Cole charged Alcoa had done a disservice to the local economy hiring an out of state firm to handle the work.
Each dollar you spend locally employs people locally. If no moneys being spent in the local town, it damages the whole area, he said. It keeps the north country moving.
Mr. Cole said that although smaller jobs had been awarded to contractors from outside the region in the past this project was the largest.
He also claimed the group had hired its workers through an ad posted on CraigsList.com, calling the workers unqualified to safely handle the job. In addition, he charged that the workers relied on a system of colors to guide them in repairing the roof, implying the workers were not qualified to follow blueprints or know how the construction materials should be attached to one another.
Their workers are not qualified or safety-trained. They just go and say, Do this and they do it, but sometimes (unskilled laborers) get hurt, Mr. Cole said. Theyre not qualified and maybe there will be safety concerns, unless it was inspected by (officials from the U.S. Office of Competition and Economic Analysis).
Last September, local ironworkers picketed outside of Alcoas West Plant to speak out against the hiring of CCC Group. The contractor brought 24 of its own workers here and hired four local employees, Alcoa spokeswoman Laurie A. Marr said previously. That drew the ire of Ironworkers Local 440, which had planned to hire 32 of its own to work there.
Mr. Cole believes local ironworkers would already completed the months ago in an effort to avoid the harsh winter weather. He feels CCC Group was not adequately prepared for the regions winter weather. My men, as ironworkers, would have done the project on time or ahead of schedule, he said.
Mr. Cole pointed out that to become a union member one must complete 6,000 work hours, a process which gives unionized ironworkers four to five years of experience.
We teach them everything they need to do for iron working, he said.
Code Enforcement Secretary Avis Hazelton said to the best of her knowledge the roofing project is near completion and former Code Enforcement Officer Gregory C. Fregoe didnt encounter any significant issues with the project.
Mr. Fregoe, who resigned from his post Jan. 22, declined to comment on the quality of the work.
Ms. Marr said Alcoa had deemed CCC Groups performance adequate.
The casthouse roofing work has been done according to the project specifications and Alcoa is satisfied with the work, Ms. Marr wrote in a statement.
Ms. Marr declined to comment on Mr. Coles specific claims.
