First Impressions: D-Frag
Jan 19
// LB Bryant
Growing up, Kazama was a fairly normal kid with fairly normal friends. Once he entered high school however, he and his friends changed into delinquents who were only interested in causing trouble. Oh yeah, they're bad asses who march to the beat of their own drum, play by their own rules and they think they're the baddest of the bad. What they don't know though is that compared to the girls of the Game Development club, they're small potatoes. The girls of the Game Development club have a problem though; they do not have enough members and because they have failed to report any kind of accomplishment they are in danger of being disbanded. Throughout the first half of the episode, the story centers on these girls doing everything in their power (including torture... no seriously!) to get Kazama to join their club. Before the season started I did not have D-Frag on my radar. I had never read the manga and honestly knew very little about the series other than what I had read in short plot synopsis' and saw in some trailers. After watching the first episode though, I am wondering how something as crazy as this ever managed to sneak past my radar. Simply put, D-Frag is the comedy that you have been waiting for. In the beginning, it's easy to mistake this series as 'just another comedy'. The elements are all there and you could easily go through the first couple of minutes thinking that the series is just setting up another rom-com but that's when the other shoe drops and the girls of the Game Development club make their presence known by setting a fire in their club room which Kazama heroically puts out. From there the episode becomes a blur of chase scenes, enhanced coercion and laughs until he finally agrees to join the club. As much as I laughed at this first episode though, I am forced to admit that there are problems right off the bat which one has to hope are addressed in future episodes. First off, the pacing for this episode felt lightning fast to me. Don't think for one moment that D-Frag is ever going to wait for you to catch up. The jokes are going to come fast and hard and if you're not ready to keep up with their pace, you're only going to be left behind eating dust. The other issue that I feel is a problem with this first episode is that they might have tried to do a bit too much with their allotted time. For the first 18 minutes or so, the story is completely centered on the girls convincing Kazama to join by any means necessary and honestly I felt like that could have been the entire episode. The story was solidly delivered and once he hands over the signed club application, the episode could have ended. I would have been very happy and satisfied. Unfortunately D-Frag goes another route and decides to squeeze even more into the episode by introducing another character and a story about the boys getting antagonized into peeking into the second floor girls changing room. It's not that I didn't laugh at this second story but by the end it did feel like it was a bit too much. In an ideal world future episodes will pace themselves a bit more and let the audience take a breath here and there. Despite those complaints D-Frag is a series filled with great little moments that come together to create a fantastic whole. Is it perfect? Of course not. What it is though is funny and a very nice distraction from the real world. This first episode put a smile on my face for over twenty minutes and I'm willing to bet it's going to do the same for you. This one is recommended.
Very busy but oh so funny!
I really enjoy moe, but I also really enjoy comedy. So what do you get when you sit me down in front of a solid combination of the two? You get one happy little camper who is ready to say please sir, may I have some more!
First Impressions: Noragami
Jan 17
// LB Bryant
Essentially, this is a series about Hiyori, a high school girl with a passion for watching mixed martial arts, and Yato, a minor god with not even a shrine to his name. One day Hiyori sees Yato about to be hit by a bus so she pushes him out of the way and ends up getting hit instead. Soon afterward, she discovers that she now resides in between the world of the living and the world of the dead and that her soul can and will leave her body without any warning at all. Not wanting to stay in this condition, she hires Yato to figure out how to fix her. It's unfair to say that this is a bad series or even a bad premiere episode. For what it is, it's actually a pretty decent first episode with hooks such as fights with giant phantoms, above-average character designs (Hiyori with a tail is just adorable, and I'm not ashamed to say that.) There are also some great comedic moments which made me laugh out loud, such as when Yato visits Hiyori in the hospital and appears beneath her covers; it sounds dirty and wrong, but if you watch the episode I'm sure that you'll laugh at Hiyori's reaction just as hard as I did. Beyond the flashy action and animation however, there's a quieter side to Noragami that many people may not even notice due to how subtle it is. The background music, composed by Taku Iwasaki, is actually quite well done in this first episode. Blending into the background perfectly, it's very easy to miss these tracks but if you listen closely (or not so closely during the fight scenes) you'll find that the music to be one of the best things about this premiere. I'm not saying that I'm going to go out and pre-order the soundtrack as soon as it becomes available, but I also couldn't imagine this episode being nearly as interesting without this particular score in the background. The major issue with this first episode is what I alluded to in the first paragraph... for some reason, it's just not that memorable. Sure, it's fun while it lasts but once it is over there really isn't a lot here to make you desperately want to see more or even remember much about it days (or even hours)later. There's just nothing to really make it stand out. I want to like Noragami and say it's going to be a fantastic ride, but at this point it would be impossible to say that and keep a straight face. Maybe it'll get better and more memorable as the series progresses, but at this point, my feelings can be summed up with a nice loud 'Meh.' If you're looking for an amazing, out of this world, supernatural action-comedy, you can probably do better than this. [See Hiyori's tail at Funimation]
Fun but not very memorable
For my first assignment here at Japanator, I decided to tackle First Impressions of Noragami. I had actually watched the first episode of this series right when it first premiered on Funimation's site, but in just a few short days, I had almost completely forgotten what I had seen. That's never a good sign, is it?

Otakon '13: An Interview with Oreimo's creators
Aug 17
// Jeff Chuang
The interview took place roughly two hours before the Oreimo OVA screening at Otakon. Present at the interview was the light novel author Tsukasa Fushimi, novel editor Kazuma Miki, and anime director Hiroyuki Kanbe. We were joined with also Aniplex's Mr. Goto and Ms. Tsukamoto. The Q&A began after exchanging pleasantries-- Japanator: How do you feel about screening the finale to Oreimo at Otakon even before the Japanese audience? Fushimi: I'm happy that lots of people are watching it. I'm looking forward to it as well, because now I can see the final episodes on the big screen. I have not seen the anime's ending yet, so this will be my first time. J: How do you hope people will react to the ending of the anime? F: I would be really happy if people can just enjoy the episodes. I would like to have fun watching everyone else having fun watching it. J: From Oreimo anime's website, there is a lot of English-translated text, to go with the "From Chiba to the World" campaign. Whose idea was it to have such an international campaign? Miki: It's the idea from Mr. Takashi Yuma of Aniplex's. He is in charge of the PR and marketing for the show. He is a dangerous man. J: How is he dangerous? M: He spends a lot of money. *laugh* J: Have you listened to the Oreimo web radio? If you did, how do you feel about the oversea fan letters? F: I didn't listen to the radio, but I am delighted to read and hear about the oversea fan messages. M: I see the fan mail for the radio come in from dozens of countries all over the world. The letters say how they love Oreimo and we're very happy about that. We're surprised even with the help of the internet, that people are able to catch the show and follow what is happening. Kanbe: I occasionally listen to the radio! J: Which countries do you think has the loudest fans and the most fans? F: Regarding the novels, Taiwan has the loudest. Then China is second. K: Maybe someone from Aniplex can tell us how the anime is doing. Tsukamoto: For the anime, American fans are probably the loudest. J: When the ending of the novel was published, there were some fan murmuring about the ending. How do you feel about it? F: First I'm surprised that you know about this! We did get a lot of feedback and I'm happy about the feedback regardless what they are. Because it is the last volume, I want to slowly savor the fan responses one by one. J: Kirino's relationship with her brother--is this something that is inspired by something you know or something you came up completely? F: That is something I came up completely from scratch. J: How about the characters themselves? F: It's not really based on any real people. J: Kuroneko or Kirino? F: If I answer this question I will probably get some threatening letters! *Everyone laughs* M: Kirino for me. K: Kuroneko for me. F: Maybe I really like everyone? They are characters that I made and gave birth to, so I love them all. J: Between Kyousuke and the girls around him, is there a particular girl that you enjoyed writing the most? F: It has to be Ayase and Kirino. J: Why are these two the most interesting? F: I don't really know the reason myself. It's just that when I started to write, the readers react strongly to them and I end up enjoy writing about them more. J: I have a question about the title of the work. First, who came up with the title? And second, there are a lot of light novels with similar structure for the name as OreImo [Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai], so why are these novel names so long? F: I came up with the title of the show with editor Miki. M: And yeah, you are right, light novel names are really long! How do you know about them? J: There's all these anime adopted from light novels with these long names! M: Ah that is true. It's kind of like a fad. It's just how this age of light novels are. In the previous age, the names were simple. The long names are just for the current round of books. Sooner or later it will change to something else. J: How is the process of working on the anime for the script of the show? K: Every week there is a script meeting. Mr. Kurata [series writer] will present the concept of how the novel will be translated into the anime. We will work with Fushimi-san to determine the result. J: How was this changed in season 2 compared to season 1? How was editing the novel story to fit into the length of the second series? F: The biggest difference between season 1 and 2 was that the novel wasn't completed by season 2's planning. M: We waited until Fushimi-san was done before we can go ahead with the anime. J: Why was the anime for seasons 1 and 2 both extended into the OVA episodes? K: Well, TV anime is usually one or two cours, so if it fits then it works, if not we will have to come up with another way. We originally wanted to fit in to one season irrespective to the original story but it didn't work that well. Aniplex then suggested to make more episodes so we can do a better job matching the story. The same happened with season 2. J: Of all the various marketing and promo events for Oreimo, which ones do you like the most? F: Otakon would be the one I'm hoping to like the most! K: I would hope for Otakon as well, since it hasn't been done before that the US gets something before the Japanese. Also I like Oreimo Festival, which is an event where the voice actors talk about the show. M: For me, it's the monorail promotion. The entire monorail train has a full wrapping for Oreimo characters. I was surprised that the Oreimo themes continued inside the rail cars. J: Is there anything you can tell us about new works? F: We are working on a new project. Mr. Miki and I were on this 13-hour flight from hell to here and we were working on it on the way. K: I have a few projects planned right now. I'm also going to work on other anime as an animation director. J: And to wrap it up, any final words for your oversea fans? F: Thank you for watching or reading Oreimo to the end. I would be happy if everyone has at least one favorite heroine, may it be Kirino or Kuroneko or anyone else. I hope you will remember them. K: I hope for those who has not watched the show yet, they will check it out! M: Originally, the project in Japan was just between me, Fushimi-san and Kanzaki-san [Light Novel Illustrator]. It was originally made for young Japanese people so we never expected it to be this big in America. We are glad to be able to share the same feelings about Oreimo with you! J: Thank you very much! [Special thanks to Otakon's George Endo for interpreting and Aniplex's Tsukamoto-san for facilitating!]

Spring Training Stadium Site Cleanup Tab at $11M
by Joe Capozzi, Palm Beach Post (Florida) August 2015
Turning a former trash dump into a Major League Baseball spring training complex will come with an expensive land-preparation job. It will cost roughly $11 million to remove trash from the former city landfill south of 45th Street, a job that must be done before any construction on the stadium and fields can start, according to an engineering consultant for the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros.

The present invention relates to gas-fueled portable soldering iron heaters.
In the construction industry, a sheet metal worker often uses a device for heating a soldering iron, which can easily be carried up a ladder and across a rooftop, hoisted up with a rope (prior to activating the heating element), or handed to or from a coworker. Preferably, such a device should have storage for tools and supplies needed in soldering, require little setup time, and be transportable with tools and supplies in place to eliminate extra trips up and down a ladder or to and fro across a rooftop. Past solutions had used a torch attached to a large propane tank that was heavy and bulky, or liquid fuels that were dangerous. A separate toolbox or bucket was used for carrying tools and supplies.
Prior art shows a number of devices for heating a soldering iron at a residential or commercial construction site, for example atop a roof, as is needed for soldering sheet metal. For portability, some of these devices employ a disposable or refillable propane canister, that is smaller than the type commonly used for barbecue grills. A torch, for heating the soldering iron, is attached to and receives gas from the propane canister. A heating flame, from atmospheric combustion of the propane, forms at the flame end of the torch. Both flame and flame end of the torch are typically partially or fully enclosed in an oven, the oven being constructed of metal with inside insulation. In the various devices, the propane canister may be fully enclosed and adjacent to or beneath the oven, or held in a sleeve that is attached as part of the device, or the canister may reside external to the apparatus, optionally enclosed in a removable sleeve. The soldering iron, the tip of which is being heated by the flame, may rest with its tip inside the heating oven, handle protruding partially or fully outside of the device so that it may be gripped and removed by the worker and with its shaft resting on a horizontal plate with side plates or a pair of vertically mounted plates with or without notches. One device, seen in U.S. Pat. No. 1,680,776 to Fahlberg, includes a storage compartment below the soldering iron rest area, for supplies. Another device, seen in U.S. Pat. No. 4,424,795 to Plessner, has a compartment for storing a soldering iron and a soldering material as well as an open rectangular container used to hold soldering flux.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a portable soldering system that includes a caddy collar, a bucket, a torch and a gas canister. The gas canister protrudes from the bucket through a seating opening in the side wall of the bucket. A caddy collar sits atop the rim of the bucket. A torch mount connects to the torch, positioning the torch and the gas canister. The gas receiving end of the torch connects to the gas canister. A soldering iron can be seated in a cradle in the caddy collar. When the torch and gas canister are so positioned, and the soldering iron is seated in the cradle, the flame end of the torch is near to and can heat the tip of the soldering iron.
In one preferred embodiment, the cradle is a recess in the caddy collar for seating the handle of the soldering iron. The cradle may also include a cradle plate with a slot for holding the tip of the soldering iron.
In another preferred embodiment, the torch mount is a torch upper plate attached to the caddy collar. The flame end of the torch extends through a torch opening in the torch mount. The torch mount may also include a torch lower plate attached to the caddy collar. The gas receiving end of the torch extends through a connection opening in the torch lower plate.
Also in the preferred embodiment, the caddy collar has a recess for holding soldering supplies.
The portable soldering system may also include an access opening through the side wall of the bucket, allowing the user to access the torch adjustment valve.
Moreover, there may be structural features for allowing a variety of materials and supplies to be placed in and carried with the soldering system, such as one or a combination of brackets, attached or removable containers, and a middle plate with a middle plate opening.
In further preferred embodiments, there is a pivoting handle on the bucket or a clip attached to the bucket, so that the soldering system may be transported easily.
An advantage of the present invention is that the torch, torch adjustment valve and gas receiving end connected to the gas canister are all protected from damage by being within the apparatus, while the gas canister, nested in the seating opening, protrudes outside of the bucket and is thus exposed to ambient air and is less susceptible to overheating.
A further advantage of the invention is that a bucket, being part of the apparatus, is open at the top and of large volume, allowing more or larger tools and supplies to be carried than would be possible in a smaller or enclosed compartment.
The preferred embodiment of the portable soldering system is shown in
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
The gas receiving end 409 of the torch 413 connects to the gas canister 139 in a manner well-known in the arts, for example by threads on the gas canister 139 engaging corresponding threads on the gas receiving end 409 of the torch 413.
In one embodiment, as shown in
As best shown in
Also shown in
Prior to using the soldering system 100 for heating a soldering iron 147, the torch 413 must first be installed as part of the system, followed by the gas canister 139. To install the torch 413, a worker pushes the flame end 119 of the torch 413 upwardly through the torch opening 415 in the torch upper plate 121. With the torch adjustment valve 405 closed and facing the access opening 509, the gas receiving end 409 of the torch 413 is pushed through the connection opening 411 of the torch lower plate 407. A filled gas canister 139 is pushed through the seating opening 213 and connected to the gas receiving end 409 of the torch 413. It should be verified that the torch 413 and gas canister 139 are held securely in the apparatus, with the gas canister 139 partially protruding from the bucket 103 through the seating opening 213, and that the connection of the torch 413 and gas canister 139 is free from gas leakage. Following verification, tools, containers and soldering supplies may be placed in the bucket. Brackets 115, 302, 305, 515 and attached or removable containers 113, 125, 123 can help secure supplies or tools. Soldering materials may be put in recesses 137, 145 in the caddy collar 101. One or more brushes may be placed with the handle down through the middle plate opening 503, 505 or in a container 113, the bottom of which is pushed down through the middle plate opening. Other tools or supplies may be carried likewise.
The soldering system may then be transported with all supplies in place, by lifting the handle 129 or attaching the clip to the belt of a worker. After arranging tools and materials as needed at the job site, and when ready to heat a soldering iron 147, the worker may open the torch adjustment valve 405 and ignite the torch 413 with a suitable ignition device such as a spark producing tool or a match. A soldering iron 147 may then be placed with the soldering iron handle 143 resting in the handle recess 149 and the soldering iron tip 111 resting in and projecting past the soldering iron cradle plate 105, so that the soldering iron tip 111 is heated by the torch flame. The torch flame may be adjusted or extinguished by the worker reaching through the torch valve access opening 509 and adjusting or closing the torch adjustment valve 405.

Can't decide where to go for dinner or which movie to see? Don't argue, just take it to the wheel! With Decision Maker, you create a category that needs an arbitrary decision made called a list (i.e. restaurants, movies, etc.), then you add items to the list, and leave your decision making up to the wheel! Give the wheel a good spin and see what comes up.
Note, another fun use of this application is as a fortune teller. To do this, create a list with a title such as "future husband/wife" or "future job", and put in some good items (and some bad ones), then give the wheel a spin and have fun.
Needs real work This app implies that you can add or change what's on the wheel/list item. When you type in the add itrm then click save nothing is added. Fir escape on coin toss option I removed heads and trails. I thought I would add yes and no only. It removed heads and talks but wouldn't let me add yes or no or anything else for that matter... Pretty big big considering the app purpose and function.
I made a drinking game out of it! This is an awesome little app if u wana make a "truth or dare" or drinking game. It is exactly what i was looking for. The only wheel app (that i know) that lets you make a custom spin the wheel game! Only problem is that you can only make 15 spaces. (Should be more) please make a version with more spaces for choices. Thank you
Great app. Exactly what I was looking for. Though the wheel speed is erratic. It stops in a reasonable amount of time, but only after slowing down, speeding up and slowing down randomly.
A simple no frills app! Simple and fast. Easy to use, and a good app for me to decide what to eat for dinner!
Not bad, pretty clever little app PROS: Helps top make decisions fun. Does it's job. CONS: User Interface is a little unpolished. The wheel is difficult to give a good Spin. But the most annoying thing is adding items to list takes too long because of toast location and length blocking using keyboard for fast entries. IMPROVEMENTS: If that toast didnt block the keyboard and the wheel was easier to spin I would give better rating.
Can't wait to use it in my Kinder class I saw a similar IOS app on Pinterest and immediately started looking for one here. The first one I found was not what I needed, but this one is. I love the fact that you can customize the lists and save them under different names. I also appreciate the fact that there are no permissions needed. I intend to use this to create class reward lists that the kids can spin for, lists of brain breaks, and questions to ask during read alouds. Revising this because I found the clicking sound effects-- WOO HOO!!! Great App
What's New
V 1.10 small bug fix
fixed a bug that would, on very rare occasions, cause the wheel screens to crash.

I really like the Paleo Protein! The taste is delicious, both flavours. I find the chocolate flavour to mix better with water or almond milk than the vanilla almond, but it has egg white protein powder after all, so you can't expect perfect blending. I always have both at home and use them post-workout and in recipes.

Now I normally would not be so harsh. I was happy to see that it does not have SOY like most of these products. Which is one of the reasons this is not rated a 0. But this Product does have Maltodextrin added to it so saying Sugar free means nothing when you add this in as a sweetener. If you added something more like grinned Stevia Leaf. Then you could call this a True Paleo Protein. Plus most people who have celiac disease or diabetes who do Paleo you will want to stay away from this.

Just got this protein, first time trying it I was not sure since it gets kinda bubbly. Mix with coconut water (8oz) and let sit for at least 2 minutes for the bubbles to settle. One of the best tasting proteins I have had, compared to ON Gold Standard, not to mention the protein source is top of the line.

I do Paleo, so this is perfect for me. The Vanilla Almond is great, I mix mine with Almond milk instead of water. This way it has some body and thickness. I sometimes add some frozen bananas or strawberries for extra flavor.

I love this product because it doesn't bother my stomach like whey proteins do. I have acid reflux and dairy intolerance, and this protein has never given me any issues. I use the vanilla flavor, and it tastes good. The first time I tried it, I thought it was a little bland, but now I actually like it. I also use very little water with it so that probably helps.
Jun 11, 2015
I love this stuff. I haven't tried chocolate but the vanilla almond tasted way better than I thought it would since it's all natural. Most supplements make me break out, but this one didn't affect me at all. I think it might actually be helping my skin haha. My only problem with it is it doesn't mix very well.

I loved the Paleo protein ! The flavor is outstanding. The only thing is that it contains egg whites as well and I think I develop some sensitivity for those.

This product is great for the person who is looking to build muscle and has a gluten/dairy free lifestyle. From experience, MHP Paleo protein has helped my body build muscle and it's best used for mass-gainer shakes/smoothies. I normally blend frozen/balanced fruit, proteins, ice, and juice. It's not the greatest mixed alone with water but I've gained mass and muscle in a matter of months! Great product-I hope they never discontinue :)

If you want to mix this well try blending it into something thick, like a smoothie. I was able to concoct a simple smoothie recipe that's paleo, blends well, and masks the all-too sweet taste of the vanilla: 1/2 cup of coconut milk (good fat, paleo people! You need it!), 1/2 cup water, 1 banana, 1 kale leaf (for nutrients), 1 scoop of protein. Try to experiment. Otherwise, don't expect beef powder to dissolve in anything...
Sep 27, 2014
This is the only paleo protein I've ever tried. I had to go dairy free for a couple of weeks and picked this up. This is by far the most horrid protein I have ever tried. That taste cannot be covered up.
Sep 20, 2014
The chocolate is great. I order the vanilla hopping it would mix well with fruit. I'm not a fan of vanilla. Its too sweet and gets really frothy no matter if I mix it with water or almond milk. The tolerable solution is to mix with almond milk and finish with water to bring down the froth. I haven't been using it consistently enough to see results but no bloat, full longer, and added protein were my goals.

I enjoy this product, i mix it with water or almond milk! also pout a scoop of the Pro Senior 12 hour and its great. have seen some good result so far and i have only been on this product for less then 2 months.
Jul 10, 2014
Chocolate IS GOOD if you add it in a smoothie. Vanilla not so much. I don't know if it possible but BB.com sent me either expired product or a product that has sat on the shelf to long because it was rather rotten egg-ish. When I buy the same product at the store it is much fresher and smells great. Results are good especially for recovery but it lacks the distinct sharpness of say whey and beef protein in regards to how quickly you recover. Taste only good in a smoothie or mixed in some type of juice. Water its horrible both flavours.

As stated in previous reviews, this protein powder does not mix well. For me, that is an important detail. I wake up at 4:00 am to workout and lumpy protein shakes are the last thing I want slipping down my throat. As for potency, also pretty weak. I train hard at the gym (middle of week 6 in Kris Gethin's 12 week transformation workout) and I need a protein that will give me the nourishment my fatigued muscles need. Taste-wise, not bad. Not necessarily good either, but in the world of protein flavors, I'd say it's about an average, tolerable tasting protein. What I did like about it was all natural ingredients. If more protein powders could adopt the stevia sweetener craze, that would be awesome. As for natural ingredients, I give this protein a 10 out of 10.
Feb 20, 2014
Bought this to go along with my Paleo/Primal way of eating. I use it as a post workout, mixed with 8oz of Almond Milk. It doesn't mix very well, but tastes great to me! Next i will try the Vanilla Almond flavor.

At the hospital, Nick sat at Sage's bedside, and she opened her eyes. She worriedly asked if the baby was okay, and Nick replied that their son was beautiful. Sage cried that she should have told him that Gabriel was really Adam, and she asked if Nick could ever forgive her. She expected that the cops would be there to arrest her any minute, even though her baby was fighting for his life. Nick said getting upset wasn't good for her. He stressed that their little boy needed her, and Sage realized that he hadn't told her whether their son was going to make it.
A doctor told Nick and Sage that their son was a fighter, and he was doing everything he could to make sure the boy was okay. The doctor asked Nick to step outside to sign paperwork. Nick obliged, but he surmised that the doctor had been holding information back to avoid upsetting Sage. Nick asserted that Sage needed to see the baby if there was a chance their son wouldn't make it, and the doctor said he thought that was a good idea. Nick returned to Sage's room, and she realized that the doctor had wanted to talk about more than just papers. Nick declared that it was time she met her little boy.
In the NICU, Sage gazed at her baby and agreed he was beautiful, but she became tearful as she looked around at all the machines. Nick assured her that the equipment was helping the boy to get strong. Nick noted that Noah had also been a preemie, and Noah had survived, just like their son would. "Our son," Sage marveled, and she murmured that he needed a name. She mentioned that she'd been thinking about Christian, and Nick was touched that she wanted to use his dad's birth name.
Sage pointed out that it was also Nick's middle name. Nick choked back tears and said that Victor would be blown away to have a grandson named after him, especially since Christian had fought hard to get there. Nick suggested Andrew for middle name, and Sage nodded. "Welcome to the world, Christian Andrew Newman," Nick said with a trembling voice. Nick and Sage clutched hands as they watched the machines work to keep their baby alive.
Abby stopped by the penthouse. Chelsea expected Abby to tell her what an awful person she was for not exposing Adam sooner, but Abby swore she wasn't there to judge. Abby pointed out that she'd also been sucked in by "Gabriel" by thinking that she was qualified to be a COO, and Chelsea said she was sorry Adam had caused problems. Abby sympathized that she could only imagine the head games he'd played with Chelsea, and she praised Chelsea for having the courage to speak up. Chelsea worried that it had been too late to stop the virus.
Chelsea resolved to get over the fantasy of having a life with Adam, and Abby questioned what Chelsea's life looked like without him. Chelsea recognized that she couldn't cut Adam out of her life completely because of his legal rights to Connor, but Abby anticipated that he would lose them once he was convicted of killing Delia. Chelsea bemoaned that the money she'd inherited after Adam's alleged death would be tied up in court, and she worried that she might lose her home. Chelsea confided that she was feeling very trapped, and Abby abruptly made an excuse to leave.
At Newman Enterprises, Kevin glared at an online article about Adam's arrest, and Victor entered the office. "I want to kill your son," Kevin spat, and Victor told him to stand in line. Kevin said Victor didn't understand what it had been like for Kevin to watch Chloe go through months of grief, and he ranted that Adam had taken both Delia and Chloe from him. Victor wondered what Kevin intended to do with his anger, and Kevin pledged to focus his energy on stopping Paragon. Kevin mentioned that the hacker who Victor had tracked down had said the original architect might have left a back door, and he suggested that Victor use whatever leverage he had to make Adam reveal how the company could survive.
Abby entered and asked for a moment with Victor. Victor told Kevin not to leave. Abby said Adam's return had caused a lot of pain, and she appealed to Victor to give Chelsea the freedom to move on with her life by giving her back control of her design business. Abby reasoned that Chelsea 2.0 was a liability to Newman because of the Paragon virus, and forcing Chelsea to work for Newman had only built a wall between Victor and Chelsea. Abby argued that Victor owed it to Chelsea for revealing the truth about Adam, and she encouraged him to give Chelsea her independence back.
Abby contended that the move would be good business, and Chelsea would be grateful to Victor for giving her a chance to make a new life. Victor agreed to do it, and Abby excitedly thanked him. Kevin said they still had to stop the virus. Victor thought he might have a way to do it, but he had to iron out a few things first. Victor stepped out, and Kevin wondered what he was up to. Abby remarked that she'd recognized the look in Victor's eye, and she wouldn't want to be the person in his sights.
Abby told Kevin that burying himself in work wouldn't help. He replied that the only thing better would be to put a fist through Adam's face, and he opted to work instead. Abby recommended talking about it, and Kevin griped that he should have known who Gabriel really was. Abby pointed out that even Victor and Chelsea hadn't known, but Kevin thought he should have recognized Adam's smug demeanor. He said he felt like he'd let Delia down the same way he had on the night she'd died, but Abby firmly told him not to blame himself, since only Adam had been responsible for Delia's death.
Kevin guessed that Adam would love for him to fall apart, but he vowed to stop the virus before it corrupted every file in the Newman mainframe. Abby lamented that it hadn't been enough for Adam to take her niece, so Adam had tried to destroy her entire family. Kevin swore that Adam wouldn't win, and Abby proclaimed that once Kevin stopped Paragon, they'd celebrate that Adam was rotting away in a cell. Kevin was comforted by the thought that Adam would finally pay for what he'd done to Delia.
At Crimson Lights, Michael read about Adam's arrest, and Lauren called Adam a coward for hiding after he'd killed Delia. She asked how Kevin was doing, and Michael reported that Kevin was furious at himself for not seeing through Adam's lies. Michael was shocked to read that Adam was planning to defend himself. Lauren thought that was a good thing, but Michael contended that everyone deserved proper representation in court. Lauren was aghast that Michael was considering representing Adam.
Michael stated that it was his job to defend people, but Lauren reminded him of how Delia's death had destroyed Kevin and Chloe. Michael hated what Adam had done, but he argued that they'd never heard Adam's side of the story. Michael added that everyone deserved a day in court, and things had to be fair for Delia to get the justice she deserved. Michael decided that the least he could do was offer his legal services to Adam, and Lauren hoped Adam turned him down.
In Paul's office, Paul commented that it was an open-and-shut case, and Christine doubted that Adam would get much sympathy from the jury once they saw his videotaped confession. Paul didn't think that Adam wanted any, since Adam hadn't even asked for a phone call. Christine prepared to see what she could get out of Adam, and Michael overheard and asked what she expected to get. Michael announced that he was there to see Adam, and Paul incredulously asked if Michael was representing Adam.
Jack joined Adam in the interrogation room, and Adam inquired whether Jack was there to stand in line to say that he wanted Adam to rot in prison. Jack pointed out that Adam had known that his identity would eventually be discovered, and Adam asked about Sage and the baby. Jack reported that Abby had informed him that mother and child were hanging in there, but the baby would be in the neonatal unit for a while. Adam doubted it because the tot was a Newman, so it wouldn't be long before Victor had the boy riding horses and running board meetings, just like Victor's other prized heirs. Jack surmised that Adam meant all of Victor's heirs except Adam, and he guessed that had been why Adam had teamed up with Ian.
Adam swore that he hadn't intended for the Paragon Project to hurt anyone except Victor, and he especially hadn't wanted to harm Jack, who he thought had always been the person who'd understood him the best. Jack was surprised that Adam didn't consider Chelsea to be that person, and Adam revealed that she wasn't speaking to him. Adam regretted that he'd managed to hurt every person who'd ever given "a damn" about him.
Adam said he was ready to accept his punishment, but Jack questioned whether Adam had given up on the idea of being a family with Chelsea and Connor. Adam groaned that he was tired of lying and running, and he finally felt like he could breathe. Jack empathized, since he'd also hated keeping the secret. Adam apologized for putting Jack in that position. Jack asserted that he'd made his own choice, but he was concerned about how the truth would affect Billy. Jack pointed out that when Adam had supposedly been dead, no one had been around to refute Billy's version of what had happened in the car before it had blown up.
Adam realized that the police would question both him and Billy, and Jack asked what Adam planned to tell them. Michael interrupted and asked to speak to Adam privately. Jack urged Adam to accept Michael's help, and he stepped out. Michael said he was available if Adam wanted a lawyer, but Adam replied that he didn't need one to plead guilty. Michael advised that it wasn't that simple, since Adam needed an attorney to make things right, and Michael wanted to be his lawyer. Adam said he needed something from Michael.
Michael handed Adam his cell phone and warned that Paul and Christine wanted to question him after Adam was done with his call. Adam called Chelsea and begged her not to hang up. He said he didn't expect to see her or Connor again, but he wanted to sincerely apologize for every rotten thing he'd ever done to her. Adam continued that he was sorry he couldn't be the man he'd promised he would be, and she and Connor deserved better, so he wanted them to pretend that he really had died in the crash and move on with their lives. As Chelsea silently sobbed, Adam asked her to tell Connor that Adam loved him, and he said he loved her, too.
During the interrogation, Christine said they had most of the information they needed on Adam's confession tape. Michael argued that Adam had been under extreme emotional distress, but Adam flatly stated that he'd driven the car that had killed Delia. Despite Michael's objections, Adam recounted that he'd been driving home from the hospital after getting devastating news about Connor's eyesight, and he hadn't known he'd hit Delia until he'd returned home. Adam explained that he hadn't stepped forward because he'd been afraid that Chloe and Billy would renege on their offer to donate Delia's corneas to Connor.
Adam conceded that he hadn't done the right thing, but everyone he'd hurt had deserved better, and he deserved whatever punishment he got. Paul turned the topic to the night Adam had allegedly died, and Michael cautioned Adam not comment on it. Adam recounted that Billy had put the pieces together, and Billy had demanded that Adam go with him to Delia's memorial and to her school. Adam explained that Billy had wanted him to know how much he'd hurt everyone who had cared about Delia, and Billy had planned to turn him in to the police, but Adam had lost control of the car. Paul held up an evidence bag with a gun inside, and he said Adam had forgotten to tell them about that.
Michael told Adam not to say a word, and Paul revealed that they'd found the gun at the accident site. Paul added that they knew Billy had held Adam at gunpoint, and they knew the firearm had been discharged once. Adam stated that Billy had been understandably upset, and Christine speculated that Billy hadn't just planned to drive around and turn Adam in. Adam claimed that the gun had fired when he'd panicked and reached for it, but he swore that Billy shouldn't be punished for anything that had happened that night.
Billy and Victoria carried their kids downstairs, and he thanked her for letting him stay the night, since he'd needed reminding of what was important. She remarked that it felt good to have their family together, but Billy quietly noted that it still felt like somebody was always missing. Billy said he'd finally been learning to live without Delia, but since he'd found out Adam was alive, it felt like he was starting all over again, and he was again filled with rage.
Billy gazed at a photo of him and Delia, and Victoria asked if he'd thought about what he wanted to do the next day. He ruled out going to the memorial site, since it no longer felt like a loving tribute, and he only saw it as the place where Adam had taken Delia's life. Victoria thought Delia wouldn't have wanted him to do anything that would make him sad, and she suggested that they go away with the kids. Victoria and Billy agreed that Delia would have loved the idea, and he decided to let the authorities handle Adam.
Billy teased Victoria when he saw the numerous bags she'd packed for just a few days, and she defended that the kids would need their jackets and boots. She imagined a perfect fall getaway, and Billy said it was just what he needed. Later, Billy announced that the car was loaded up, and he and Victoria prepared to hit the road. He answered a call, and he informed her that the cops wanted to talk to him about the night he'd confronted Adam about Delia's death.
Jack left a message for Ashley as Billy and Victoria arrived at the police station, and Billy spotted Michael with Adam. Billy testily assumed that Jack had hired Michael on Adam's behalf, since Jack had known about Adam's true identity for months. Victoria tried to discourage Billy from talking about it in front of the cops, but Billy proclaimed that he didn't care who knew, since Jack was no better than Victor for covering for "that bastard." Paul led Billy into his office, and Jack warned Victoria that it wasn't all about Adam's crimes, since he was afraid the police would go after Billy for attempted murder.
Christine asked Billy to clarify some things about the night Adam had supposedly died, and Billy claimed that the gun had fired accidentally when the car had gone off the road. Paul asked if Billy had pointed a gun at Adam in order to force him to turn himself in, but Billy coolly replied, "No, I intended to kill him." Billy recounted that he'd had Adam down on his knees, begging for his life, but he'd felt that the best way to get justice had been to turn Adam over to the police. Christine wondered if Billy felt like justice was being served, and Billy remarked that it was the closest they would get. Paul told Billy that he was free to go, but he told Billy not to leave town.
Victoria and Billy returned to her house, and he said they'd have to find another plan for the next day. She suggested that they talk about it over dinner, and she hoped that he'd stay the night again -- and again and again. Billy incredulously realized that she was asking him to move back in, and he grinned broadly and exclaimed that he couldn't wait. He realized that after two years, Adam had finally been arrested, and he and Victoria had made their way back to one another. Victoria said Delia would have been happy to know that Billy would wake up at home where he belonged.
Jack stopped by to check on Chelsea, and he recognized that they'd both said things they hadn't meant when they'd last spoken. She conceded that she should have warned Jack before she'd told Billy the truth, and Jack said they had to deal with the fallout, since the police were interrogating Adam about the night of his alleged death. Chelsea argued that Billy hadn't killed Adam, but Jack countered that Billy had wanted to.
Jack was thankful when he learned the police hadn't held Billy, and Chelsea guessed that Adam had uncharacteristically done the right thing. Jack said it had sounded like Adam wanted to make amends for all the pain he'd caused, and she divulged that Adam had called to say that he was setting her free. Jack imagined that it had been somewhat of a relief, but Chelsea thought she'd never be free of Adam, just like Adam would never be free of his guilt over Delia.
Victor entered the interrogation room and glowered at Adam. "Hello, son," Victor said.

ABSTRACT: A 6-year-old boy was referred for evaluation because he had several vomiting episodes, from the age of 2 years, following short-neck clam ingestion. He tested negative for short-neck clam-specific IgE just before visiting our hospital, and he was not allergic to other foods or shellfish. The patient had low levels of short-neck clam-specific IgE (1.04 UA/ml), and the skin prick test was positive for short-neck clam (4 mm). The lymphocyte stimulation test was positive (5305 counts per min (cpm), stimulation index (SI) =1211%) and the patch test was positive for short-neck clam ingestion. An oral challenge test with boiled short-neck clam induced abdominal pain and vomiting 2 h after ingestion, and the patient presented with increased peripheral leukocytes after 6 h. He was therefore diagnosed with food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) due to short-neck clam ingestion. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of FPIES induced by the intake of shellfish.Arerugī = [Allergy] 12/2010; 59(12):1628-33.

ABSTRACT: Human resistin is expressed strongly in monocytes or macrophages rather than in adipocytes and may play a pivotal role in inflammation. We hypothesize that resistin levels are elevated in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) in the acute phase and may be associated with the disease severity. Serum resistin concentrations were measured in 44 Japanese children with KD and 17 age-matched healthy children. All the KD patients were given both aspirin and a single dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). The serum resistin levels at baseline in KD children were significantly higher than those in controls [33.0 (21.6-45.3) vs. 14.8 (12.4-18.6) ng/mL, P < 0.001]. After IVIG therapy, serum resistin levels were significantly decreased to normal control levels. No significant difference in baseline resistin levels was found between the high-risk group and the low-risk group of coronary artery aneurysms. We confirmed that resistin was an acute inflammatory protein, but its concentrations were unlikely to predict the prognosis of disease in acute KD patients.Agents and Actions 11/2010; 59(11):915-20.

ABSTRACT: Asthma is the most common chronic disorder in childhood and asthma exacerbation is an important cause of childhood morbidity and hospitalization. Allergic responses are known to be biased toward T-helper type 2 in asthmatics; however, the pathogenesis of asthma is not simple, and our understanding of the disease mechanism remains incomplete. The aim of the present study was to identify protein expression signatures that reflect acute exacerbation of asthma. Plasma was taken twice from pediatric asthmatic patients, once during asthma exacerbation and once during a stable period. Plasma was also taken from healthy children as a control. The protein profiles of plasma during asthma exacerbation were analyzed by 2-DE and 49 spots were differentially expressed during asthma exacerbation. Thirty-eight of the spots were successfully identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Proteins up- or down-regulated during asthma exacerbation were involved in responses to stress and pathogens, in the complement and coagulation cascades, and in acute-phase responses. Among the differentially expressed proteins, up-regulation of alpha-1-antitrypsin and complement component C7 was confirmed by nephelometry and ELISA. Our present results suggest that protease inhibitors and complement components may be involved in asthma exacerbation, and plasma level of alpha-1-antitrypsin may be a potential biomarker for asthma.Proteomics.

Article: Enomoto H, Noguchi E, Iijima S, Takahashi T, Hayakawa K, Ito M et al.Single nucleotide polymorphism-based genome-wide linkage analysis in Japanese atopic dermatitis families. BMC Dermatol 7:5[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Atopic dermatitis develops as a result of complex interactions between several genetic and environmental factors. To date, 4 genome-wide linkage studies of atopic dermatitis have been performed in Caucasian populations, however, similar studies have not been done in Asian populations. The aim of this study was to identify chromosome regions linked to atopic dermatitis in a Japanese population. We used a high-density, single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping assay, the Illumina BeadArray Linkage Mapping Panel (version 4) comprising 5,861 single nucleotide polymorphisms, to perform a genome-wide linkage analysis of 77 Japanese families with 111 affected sib-pairs with atopic dermatitis. We found suggestive evidence for linkage with 15q21 (LOD = 2.01, NPL = 2.87, P = .0012) and weak linkage to 1q24 (LOD = 1.26, NPL = 2.44, P = .008). We report the first genome-wide linkage study of atopic dermatitis in an Asian population, and novel loci on chromosomes 15q21 and 1q24 linked to atopic dermatitis. Identification of novel causative genes for atopic dermatitis will advance our understanding of the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis.BMC Dermatology 02/2007; 7(1):5. DOI:10.1186/1471-5945-7-5

ABSTRACT: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a potent inflammatory cytokine that contributes to airway inflammation in asthma. Previous studies have reported that a G-to-A transition at position -308 (-308G/A, also referred to as TNF-alpha-308*1 and 308*2 respectively), is associated with asthma, but other studies have shown conflicting results. To investigate a possible association between the TNF-308G/A polymorphism and asthma, we performed transmission disequilibrium tests and a case-control study (family samples: 495 members in 165 Japanese trio families with one asthmatic child and both parents; case-control samples: 461 Japanese asthmatic children and 465 healthy controls). To increase the sample size and power, we performed a meta-analysis of all available relevant studies, including 2,477 asthmatics and 3,217 controls. We did not find a significant association between the TNF-308G/A polymorphism and childhood atopic asthma in two independent Japanese populations (P>0.05); however, meta-analysis revealed that the TNF-308G/A polymorphism was statistically significantly associated with asthma. The combined odds ratio with a fixed effects model and with a random effects for TNF-308A was 1.46 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.27-1.68, P=0.0000001) and 1.46 (95% CI, 1.20-1.77, P=0.00014) respectively. Our data further support the importance of the TNF region in the development of asthma.Journal of Human Genetics 02/2006; 51(8):677-85. DOI:10.1007/s10038-006-0007-3 · 2.46 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) is a sensorimotor polyneuropathy recognized in adult intensive care patients with sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction and only a few cases have been reported in children. Here we report a 13-year-old Japanese boy with CIP that developed during the course of encephalopathy. Two months after the onset of encephalopathy, he developed tetraplegia although consciousness had already recovered. Deep tendon reflex was absent. MRI of the brain and spinal cord was normal and no abnormality in the cerebrospinal fluid was detected. Motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities of the lower limbs and somatosensory evoked potential could not be detected. The motor activity subsequently showed gradual recovery, although standing and walking could not be achieved. Sural nerve biopsy performed 3 years after the onset showed severe reduction of the number of myelinated large-diameter fibers, thin myelin in almost all fibers and cluster formation of myelinated small-diameter fibers, indicating primary axonal degeneration with regeneration. We report here for the first time the neuropathological changes in peripheral nerves during the chronic stage of CIP in children.Brain and Development 11/2005; 27(7):535-8.

ABSTRACT: A 4-year-old boy presented with chopstick penetration into the cerebellum via the temporal squamosa and tentorium cerebelli, which resulted in a cerebellar abscess 1.5 years after the injury. The neuroimaging appearance of the wooden chopstick were unusual, hyperdense on computed tomography, and isointense on T2-weighted and hypointense on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Abscess aspiration and continuous drainage was performed with real-time intraoperative ultrasound guidance. The chopstick fragment was surgically removed and the patient discharged with minor neurological deficits. Wooden foreign body may show changes in properties after a long period of intraparenchymal retention. Extra care is required to remove wooden foreign bodies because of the high risk of infection.Neurologia medico-chirurgica 10/2000; 40(9):458-62. DOI:10.2176/nmc.40.458 · 0.72 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Febrile seizures (FSs) represent the most common form of childhood seizure. In the Japanese population, the incidence rate is as high as 7%. It has been recognized that there is a significant genetic component for susceptibility to this type of seizure. Two putative FS loci, FEB1 (chromosome 8q13-q21) and FEB2 (chromosome 19p), have been mapped. Furthermore, a mutation in the voltage-gated sodium (Na(+))-channel beta1 subunit gene ( SCN1B ) at chromosome 19q13.1 was identified in a family with a clinical subset, termed generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS(+)). These loci are linked to some large families. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide linkage search for FS in one large family with subsequent linkage confirmation in 39 nuclear families. Significant linkage was found at D5S644 by multipoint non-parametric analysis using GENEHUNTER ( P = 5.4 x 10(-6)). Estimated lambda(s)at D5S644 was 2.5 according to maximum likelihood analysis. Significant linkage disequilibria with FS were observed at the markers D5S644, D5S652 and D5S2079 in 47 families by transmission disequilibrium tests. These findings indicate that there is a gene on chromosome 5q14-q15 that confers susceptibility to FSs and we call this gene FEB4.Human Molecular Genetics 02/2000; 9(1):87-91.

ABSTRACT: A 3-month-old male infant with intracranial hemorrhage attributable to a vitamin K deficiency is reported. Vitamin K2 was administered orally at birth and then at 5 days and I month of age. Oral antibiotics were also given 2 days before the onset of bleeding. Although the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage resulting from vitamin K deficiency has decreased since the introduction of vitamin K2 prophylaxis, spontaneous intracranial hemorrhages are still being reported in infants. We suggest that vitamin K prophylaxis is needed especially for breast-fed infants and for those undergoing antibiotic therapy.Child s Nervous System 08/1999; 15(6-7):292-4.

Article: Comparison of IgG, IgG1 and IgG2 immune responses to pneumococcal polysaccharide in atopic and nonatopic children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The levels of naturally occurring IgG, IgGl and lgG2 antibodies against polyvalent pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide antigen (Pneumovax®) were compared between atopic and nonatopic children with different ages, 6-12 months and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-9 and 10-15 years, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Children with asthma, atopic dermatitis, food allergy or a combination of these, and those having serum IgE levels exceeding 50 IU/mL at 6-12 months old and 100 IU/mL at more than 1-year-old were included as atopic groups. Asymptomatic children whose serum IgE levels were less than these atopic standards and those not having detectable IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides farinae comprised the nonatopic groups. Geometric mean levels of IgG and IgG1 antibodies against pneumococcal antigen increased steadily with age, and that of IgG2 antibodies was low until 3 years of age and then gradually increased age-dependently up to 15 years of age. The levels of IgG antibody as well as IgG1 and IgG2 antibodies were not significantly different between atopic and nonatopic children in any age group. This suggests that the immune response to the most common bacterial pathogen in the respiratory tract does not influence atopic status.Allergology International 12/1998; 47(3):183-186.

ABSTRACT: A 15-month-old female infant with nystagmus, gait disturbance, diminished reflexes, ophthalmoplegia, and facial paresis was diagnosed as having Fisher syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a transient, high-signal-intensity lesion on the left side of the cerebellum on T2-weighted images. The ataxia of Fisher syndrome is not compatible with polyneuritis, but can be explained by a cerebellar lesion, as seen in this case.Child s Nervous System 03/1997; 13(2):95-6.

ABSTRACT: A 15-year-old girl with common variable immunodeficiency contracted hepatitis C, which progressed to liver cirrhosis and finally to hepatic failure 5 years later. Since she was agammaglobulinaemic, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was diagnosed on the basis of HCV-RNA detection. Quantification of her sera showed high levels of HCV-RNA (more than 10(7) copies of RNA/mL), which implied active viral replication. There were no other hepatotoxic factors except HCV infection. The initial liver biopsy at 16 years of age and the autopsy confirmed a rapid progression in liver histopathological change over 4 years. Conclusion: Contrary to the widely held view of a benign short-term prognosis in paediatric hepatitis C, progressive fatal liver disease can develop in some patients with HCV infection. Such a rapid progression of liver injury provides the rationale for antiviral therapy in at least certain high risk groups of these children. Hepatitis C may progress rapidly in an immune deficiency condition.European Journal of Pediatrics 08/1996; 155(7):532-4. DOI:10.1007/BF01957899 · 1.89 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A 13-year-old girl presented with isosexual precocious puberty and later developed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO). Laboratory examination revealed high levels of plasma luteinizing hormone (LH), estrone and androgens. Because of significantly high levels of plasma dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and hyperresponsiveness to adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) of DHEAS, it appeared that the PCO was caused by not only hypothalamic-pituitary dysregulation of gonadotropin secretion but also by hypersecretion of adrenal androgens.Clinical Pediatric Endocrinology 01/1996; 5(1):31-36.

Anglers' paradise
We are not anglers but the campsite at Gjora we stayed on was full of them, some having come over specially for the weekend. They were local people, Norwegians so I'm sure they knew what they were doing. Fishing for trout, I suppose, in the mountain river at the back of the campsite. They disappeared in the late hours of the evening and the next morning we could see their angling gear drying on the porch of their cabins. We left before they had even got up so I couldn't ask them how successful they had been.

pumpkin pound cake? Thanks!
