The USDA's freshly released Food Environment Atlas has been getting some buzz the last few days, coinciding with Michelle Obama's recent vow to tackle childhood obesity and food accessibility issues and a lot of dialogue and ranting going on in the media about big bad Agribusiness and the hyper-idealism and hypocrisy of the locavore movement. (Mrs. Obama herself has drawn some fire -- critics have taken aim at her overstatement of the severity of the rise of obesity and its possible fallout, the "inappropriateness" of mentioning her own daughters' brush with chubbiness, and her dodginess about important societal causes of childhood obesity. Oh, the pitfalls of a crusading First Lady!)

"The only war that matters is the war against the imagination." Diane di Prima, San Francisco's new poet laureate as of last year, should be an expert on imagination's primacy. Her work in such volumes as The Revolutionary Letters (1971) helped to shine a light on the role women played in Bohemia- not always the most well-lit arena. On Fri/19, the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts holds a reception to laud the most well known female voice of the Beat movement, and celebrate her turn as our city's bard.
Nancy Wilson doesn't play clubs, she plays to win
Written with Cedar Sigo
Nancy Wilson has been quoted as saying that she doesn't play clubs, she plays Yoshi's. That's the truth this weekend, especially on Feb. 20, when Miss Wilson will be celebrating her 73rd birthday on stage with a pair of shows. There is only one Nancy Wilson, only one singer who can bring a fusion of longing and attractiveness to a recording such as "He's My Guy." On the occasion of her birthday and upcoming Bay Area visit, I asked someone near and dear to me, the poet Cedar Sigo, if he'd like to interview Miss Wilson. He did.Read more »

If Newsom decides to solve the city's $520 million deficit with cuts alone, he will be taking more than $1 billion out of the local gross domestic product
EDITORIAL If Mayor Gavin Newsom is serious about stimulating the San Francisco economy, he ought to start with a basic number that the city's own economist, Ted Egan, passed along to us this week. The number is 2.11 — and Egan says that's the multiplier effect of cuts in local public spending. Read more »
The rumors that Newsom is going to announce imminently that he's running for Lt. Governor turned out to be a bit premature.
But I am still hearing from very solid sources that he's seriously considering jumping into the race -- and while the San Francisco left didn't back his run for governor, this would be a very different campaign. The Lt. Gov. isn't really in charge of anything, but has a certain amount of power, not just from the platform and the ability to issue press statements (one of Newsom's favorite hobbies), but because that person gets a seat on the state Lands Commission (offshore oil drilling) and the U.C. Regents (education cuts). Newsom would most likely be fine on both issues.
And the truth is, we all know Newsom doesn't really want to be a wine clerk.
And lieutenant governors are often well positioned to move on to higher offices it worked for John Kerry, for example (and for Gray Davis, if you call that working). I think Newsom would love to position himself to run for U.S. Senate when Dianne Feinstein, who will be 79 when her current term expires in 2012, decides to retire.

San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, which operates Muni, has pushed back a City Hall meeting (originally set for today) to make a decision on budget-related plans for cutting transit services by 10 percent across the city and raising prices on monthly passes, setting it for Friday 26th at 9 a.m. instead.Read more »
With rampant rumors that Mayor Gavin Newsom will announce his candidacy for lieutenant governor as soon as today – and with San Francisco Bicycle Coalition executive director Leah Shahum today announcing a leave of absence – it's interesting to see the two paired up in Newsom's latest You Tube video.
Leah Shahum, longtime director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, will be taking an eight-month leave of absence to live with her partner, Ted Strawser, in Amsterdam, which is widely considered one of the world's most bike-friendly cities.
"As committed to bicycle advocacy as I am, the idea of living in Amsterdam is like a dream come true, so there's no way I couldn't do it," Shahum said of the opportunity created when Strawser, an accountant for Dolby Laboratories, was transferred to Amsterdam for a year.Read more »

Heads up, fans of informative playfulness: Babeland co-founder Rachel Venning will be at Diesel Books in Oakland on Tues/16 to read from and sign copies of her latest book Moregasm, a guide to getting more from our sexual forays.
The majority of mainstream sex guides currently available follow a formula I've never understood, which is to feature real people in the cover photo and then nowhere else in the book. These ludicrous covers, mostly featuring underwear-clad models in suggestively prone positions, are a source of embarrassment at the cash register, but a worse offense is found inside. Upon opening the book the reader discovers, rather than any useful or instructional photos, a slew of black and white diagrams in stick-figure detail accompanied by text that is generally inscrutable. The sexual acts are described in ways that are alternately clinical and deliberately vague, peppered with medical terms like "vasocongestive arousal" along with meaningless Cosmopolitan-isms about revving engines or raising temperatures or similar banalities with which we are all familiar.
Taking this convention into consideration, Moregasm happily does the opposite.
"We were looking for a working class hero story," said Katherine Bruens, creator of feature film documentary Corner Store at its SF Indiefest preview this weekend. They found it. Corner Store (to be shown again on March 27) widens to include more, however- becoming a portrait of what it is to be an immigrant in this country, on missing home and personal conflict. On what it means to sleep in the back of the convenience store you work in 16 hours a day. The film joined a stellar lineup of shorts and features at the festival, a film geek's delight which continues through Thur/18 around town.
The producers followed their protagonist, Yousef Elhaj, for 14 months, during which they say he was "too polite not to have a documentary made about him." Elhaj hadn't seen his family for the 10 years he'd spent funding a life for them at his Castro/Mission ("Mistro," as an interview with some neighbors memorably dubs it) convenience store, where the majority of Corner Store takes place.

YOM Vintage Volkswagen Plates
It's emails like this that make me smile. Thinking back, I really had no big vision for 1967beetle.com. I was working in San Francisco, CA at a design agency. Many late nights pushing pixels for things I didn't believe in; I'd be thinking about my own '67 Beetle restoration and working with my hands. The idea of "maybe I should create a site to share my own story" happened organically. Anyway.. Thank you. -E
Hello, 1967beetle.com.
Just wanted to say hello and say that your efforts to honor and revere the 1967 Beetle is much appreciated. To that end, I thought I would share this with the rest of our 1967 Beetle brothers and sisters out there. My first Bug was in 1964.
The short story: I recently scored what I consider to be The Holy Grail of personalized license plates, in my case – 1967 BUG These were obtained through the recently activated California DMV "Legacy" program. They cost $50 for the initial order, then a $40 annual retention fee, plus annual registration, my total: $120 (my original annual registration was only $18) Took about six months to get plates and I had to pick them up at my local DMV as I was required to turn in my old White plates. Even the DMV lady was really Jazzed when she saw them. I asked her for the original DMV envelope which she was about to toss. The "Legacy" program is separate and different from the DMV "YOM" (Year of Manufacture) program which allows a corresponding year of old and non-registered plates to be re-assigned. Jerry
The longer story
A little over a year ago the California State Legislature finally passed the California "Legacy" license plate series program, which gave the DMV the go ahead to issue special sequential and custom personalized license plates from/for three important base plate issue time periods in California beginning with the: 1) 1956 to 1962 series of Yellow field with 6 black characters, steel plate. 2) Then the 1963 to 1969 series, Black field with 6 yellow characters, steel plate (some very late plates were aluminum). 3) Last of the three was the 1970 to 1980 series Blue field with 6 yellow characters, aluminum plates.
The "Legacy" program came to fruition through the long-time and tireless efforts of many dedicated car collectors and car clubs, including The Alfa Romeo Association of America, of which I am also a member.
The California DMV based their "Legacy" production offering on how many pre-orders they received for a given series to make start-up production practical. Their minimum number was 7500 pre-orders The only series reaching this requirement was the 1963 to 1969 Black plate series, debatably the most important period of the three. So, this means that a collector can now have a brand new set of correct era, reissue California license plates in either standard sequential or custom layout for their Muscle Cars and other Customs. The "Legacy" series Black plates look exactly the same as the original 1963-1969 base plates, but utilize reflective black paint and are missing the "63" year stamped in the indent recess for the year and month sticker.
I, of course, originally wanted the personalized plate version that read: 1967 BUG, sort of the Holy Grail of Beetle plates, but in checking on-line discovered it wasn't available because it was already registered in the "Vanity" white personalized plate program from some years earlier. So, I opted for "1967 VW", which was available according to the DMV database online. But, when I went to pay for it online, I could not complete my credit card transaction because the site was having technical problems, not uncommon for them. Being after hours, I called the DMV in Sacramento the next morning and was transferred to the Specialized Plate section, "Legacy" series program.

Filed under: Food, General, Geng's corner, Wednesdays with Geng and Chip
For our WwG&C # 17, we were originally going to make a dish that required cremini mushrooms and shallots. Unfortunately, we both didn't know what a cremini mushroom looked like and ended up asking one of the staff at Harris Teeter. Acting like he knew what he was talking about he told us that white mushrooms are in fact the same as cremini mushrooms. It occurred to me that it didn't look like the cremini I saw in the picture but hey the guy works in the vegetable section of the supermarket he should know what he was talking about right? Wrong!!! As soon as we got home I looked again and well there you have it, white mushroom is not cremini mushroom.
So I turned once again to my good friend and infinitely wise Mr. Google to see what we can do with white mushrooms and the ingredients that we have. Enter Martha Stewart to the rescue. The reliable ol' Martha has a recipe for braised chicken with mushrooms. As luck would have it we also grabbed one of those tubes of polenta at the store. What a coincidence that her recipe called for polenta too. And so number 17 was born. Behold:
Braised Chicken with Mushrooms
From Martha Stewart.com
Serves 4
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound white mushrooms, wiped clean and sliced 1/2-inch-thick
4 garlic cloves, halved
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high. Add chicken, and cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet. Add mushrooms and garlic, and season with salt. Cover; and cook over medium heat until mushrooms release their juices, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove lid. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add wine, and cook, stirring, until evaporated, about 1 minute. Add broth and parsley, cook over medium-high heat until mushrooms are tender and liquid is reduced, 8 to 10 minutes.
Return chicken to skillet. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve chicken topped with mushrooms, and drizzled with cooking liquid on a bed of polenta. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Martha's recipe asked for oven baked polenta. However, we got a tube of polenta from the vegetable section of the supermarket and decided to make it the regular way.
1 tube of regular polenta (16 oz.)
2 cups water
1 Tbs olive oil
¼ c heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
Drop polenta into boiling water until it turns to mush. Cook for ten minutes or so. Add olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Let sit for 30 minutes. 30 seconds before serving add the cream and stir.
This dish turned out great for something that we decided at the last minute. It's not really something I thought I'd do for our Wednesdays but when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade eh?

More Pics
Ok I tried to post in the Gallery but it keep saying the size of the pics was to big so I posted pics on Photobucket I have 33 pics of the trip to Tenn and last year when we went to Yellostone if anyone want to see them they are @ http://photobucket.com/ram06bighorn I don't know how else to post them sorry hope you enjoy them there are some pics of some wild life we saw and a few more of the Ram; along with a few of the wife and me with the Ram of course :smileup:

Great pics. Nice job on the Ram.
Nice work on the debadging.
One way to post up from Photobucket is to resize your pics. I use Irfanview, a free download, to resize pics before I load them to Photobucket. Then, I post up the link to the individual pics in any post or thread I am adding a photo to. See the Newbie Section How To's on posting up full size pics from Photobucket. Once you do it a few times, you'll get the hang of it.
nice looking truck you have there man :D Is it raised any or is the man in the picture on photobucket just a little "vertically challenged"?
great pics thanks for sharing.......:smileup:
Very nice truck shots you took there! Nice nature ones too! They are beautiful! Thanks for sharing them with us!

A good audio experience is one of the biggest deciding factors for me when I'm looking into buying a new smartphone. "Does it have front-facing speakers?" "How loud do the speakers get?" "What about earpiece sound quality?" Especially given how much music I listen to and how many YouTube videos I watch with my friends and coworkers on a daily basis, having loud, clear sound no matter where I go is important to me. Ever since the One M7, HTC has become sort of a household name when it comes to smartphone audio. Its BoomSound speakers are louder than just about anything else ...

Another holiday season's come and (almost) gone, and if you're among the lucky ones, the receding tides of commercialism have left you with a bounty of gadgetry under your Christmas tree, Hanukkah bush, or other homespun symbol of holiday joy. The holiday season is a crucial one for all platforms, but this year we've had our eye trained especially closely on Windows Phone. At this time in 2011, the Microsoft device stable didn't offer much in the way of eye-catching goodies, with the then-unannounced Lumia 900 still months away from release.

It's been nearly six months since we last hosted a Windows Phone device in the Boston offices of Pocketnow, but in the past six hours we've welcomed in two of the newest and hottest. The Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 810 each enjoyed an unboxing in our studio this afternoon. Neither is a light or a small device, but the product we tour in this video is bigger and heavier than both of them combined. Times ten. It must've been all the excitement around the Windows Phone 8 launch, coupled with the irresistible promise of wireless charging mated with loud, bass-y audio. When I reported to ...

Detail - tutta la luce negli occhi by agnes-cecileWatch
©2013-2016 agnes-cecile
This piece is remarkably superb. It's amazing how the turn of the image can just open it up so much more. With the posting of this in original, straight-line form, I thought it was nice. I was a bit reluctant on posting a comment just stating, "nice job." With the shifting of the line as well as the angle, it opens it up dimensions more. The layers of colors can be seen, adding more dynamic structuring to the image. Making the picture look both multi-leveled and completely cohesive. Undeniably amazing and idea/imagination birthing. Utterly fantastic. Please, know that I applaud your proficient work. Thank you for posting it.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
9 out of 10 deviants thought this was fair.
I love your drawing!So amazing!may I ask you what type of paper you use for watercolour?250-300gm but about texture?
I think the picture is so good but can be better, can show more the face
Although this shows the subtlety and mastery with not only watercolor, but with anatomy, your fully developed and rendered watercolors are astounding. I also enjoy your usage of color when it has intense and engaging areas that are haunting. This lacks that for me. You have a true gift.
love your paintings
Super beau ♥
Great job ! I love it It's gorgeous
é davvero bellissimo
nice work!

I'm new to WordPress and struggling adding the Twitter follow button to my blog using the following shortcode:
[twitter-follow screen_name='username']
I'm running the Blaskan theme which I've contacted the creator about already (he told me it should work and to ask on here).
I'm trying to insert that shortcode into a Text Widget. I can't use any others either (not just the Twitter one).
I did some searching and found I should add:
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode'); to my functions.php file. That done and still nothing.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,

A big interest of mine is designing SharePoint farms to be highly-available through good architecture & solid design; something I've posted about quite a bit on this blog over time. This article summarises the high-availability strategies available for SharePoint and then touches on other common areas that cause SharePoint farms to fail, as a sort of grand wrap-up to the whole HA-SP series so far.
In reality, the question of "how can we avoid downtime" really comes down to how much you really care about users having no or limited access, or rather more simply put - how much money are you willing to spend to make sure things run smoothly?
Has your SharePoint farm gone down before? This is your guide to make sure it doesn't happen again because if your SharePoint farm has gone down once then it's probably because, in the nicest possible way, your organisation or company just didn't want to keep it online enough and there's almost certainly something that could've been done to avoid any failures from becoming a fatal blow to SharePoint running normally.
In short, keeping SharePoint online means designing a fault-tolerant architecture, coding customisations & apps in a well designed and tested manner, and implementing good SharePoint governance. First though, the architecture…
So as previously mentioned in my blog, some of the tools & tricks in the high-availability SharePoint toolbox are:
The principal point of doing all of these is to make your SharePoint farm handle a failure of any one dependant service or resource. SQL failures, AD outages, even SharePoint server failure can be automatically worked around if the architecture is well designed – a key goal of any high-availability design.
Sometimes performance in a SharePoint application can be so slow that it's no different from a complete system outage, at which point we often get a call to help out. Here's how you can avoid that awkward situation:
Performance troubleshooting is a highly complex game and rarely ever highlights any single cause for slowness. Proactive planning is your strongest ally when it comes to making sure your SharePoint installation will cope.
Aside from the above risks, other farm failures are often caused by customisations to the out-the-box product. SharePoint supports customisations albeit with disclaimers for performance because it's very common that SharePoint gets the blame for someone else's bad coding over which we have no control. But that aside, application performance targets are a complex issue and rely on lots of factors and considerations, including:
I'll say it again because it's important – most customer performance issues we deal with in Microsoft have 3rd-party code involved in the problem at least, if not directly at fault. Custom-code is a big risk if not planned well.
The other thing that can unfortunately kill a SharePoint farm is the monthly patches for Windows, .Net and SharePoint alike. Very occasionally a patch of some kind has a negative impact on a farm in some way so really should be run through a staging/testing environment before being deployed in production, with some testing done on the application too. If you use some kind of patch control system this task is fairly trivial to control with Windows Server Update Services or System Center.
Good patching practises is a subject all on its own but in short, make sure you're not updating production even with Windows updates unless you've checked them on a test environment first and tested the site still loads; searches still work; users still update etc all before.
A bad patch is rare but they occasionally slip through the cracks, like any other vendor really; it's ultimately your responsibility though to make sure your systems don't break when they're installed. Of course, even riskier is allowing your SharePoint farm to go unpatched but I digress.
The other thing worth mentioning is how well organised the operations of the farm are, specifically how well patching, archiving, application deploying, and general administration are planned. People with no processes in place tend to be the ones' that go offline lots; SharePoint, like any system of any complexity needs regular care & attention to keep it well-oiled and running smoothly so make sure the roles & responsibilities are maintaining a healthy farm is clearly defined. We take quality control very seriously at Microsoft but the SharePoint software stack is very complicated indeed; from Windows platform/IIS core to ASP.Net, to browser compatibility – everything has to work flawlessly together in unison so patching one element of that huge tech sandwich can occasionally have unforeseen consequences. A basic testing strategy helps mitigate this risk almost entirely and really should be done if you're serious about mitigating risk.
That's it! If you follow all of these rules you should never have any problems running your farm and rolling out applications. Running a SharePoint farm + applications on-top is tough job; there's lots to remember, plan for, and think about but hopefully this has given a good quick overview at least. If there's any interest in looking deeper at any area or other please let me know in the comments.

Instead of making adjustments in their content, broadcast news divisions continue to act as if there is nothing to be learned from the success of Fox News. Meanwhile, Ailes and Murdoch reap the rewards that go with success.
What other industry rejects a potential customer base because it may disagree with its beliefs? What explanation can there be other than blatant prejudice against the core American values held by most Fox News viewers?
There have been numerous surveys that have attempted to portray Fox News viewers as less informed than those of other networks. Such elitist thinking explains the decline of network news.
Ailes said he is matching the $250,000 Bradley Prize money and donating it to a senior citizens group. The broadcast networks would do well to match his success by reaching out to the Fox audience, but they won't. They're caught in an ideological cage of their own making.
In the film "Ray," Quincy Jones tells Ray Charles he isn't going to play the South because of racial prejudice. Ray, who at the time was playing the South, says that just meant more money for him.
Let the broadcast networks not make a "play" for the Fox audience. That just means more success and more money for Roger Ailes.

Ema has now been approved for a loan within the framework of a new joint initiative through Kiva and Credo. The start-up loan program envisages provision of business start-up and re-startup credits with soft conditions to rural poor people, who do not have access to credit products. These rural poor people are regarded as "high risk borrowers" because of their low income. With her credit, Ema will start up her own bakery. She will bake traditional Georgian bread and sell it for a good price. She owns a commercial space in a profitable location and hopes her project will be profitable and will offer quality products to her customers. This will increase her sales volume. The new business initiative, financed with the Kiva start-up loan, will significantly improve Ema's family's living conditions.
Additional Information

The songs we can't escape
"John Cleese"
What does this sensuous bit of pitch-shifting, androgynous IDM have to do with its namesake? As far as I can tell, not a damned thing.
"Been Waiting"
Felipe—who appears to be way better at drumming than any other musical endeavor—goes the Valium-coma luau route here, making this the only No Fun Demo track I can sit through without grinding my teeth into powder. Oh, that blasted Ariel Pink: well on his way to sliming indie-rock for a new generation.
This, I suppose, is their "Kokomo." Does growing up mean having no sustainable career path and re-inventing your long-forgotten boy band as an acronym? I don't know. These dudes are in a bind: Lyrics like "Do you remember?/I'll never forget/Touching your body, all soaking wet/The bottle was cool, the feeling was hot/Kissin' on ya while the ocean rocked" are a tad too risqué for the Cheetah Girls set yet too puerile/escapist for stressed-out moms who begged their 'rents for NKOTB tickets way back when "The Right Stuff" was the pre-90210 middle-school jam.
"Eu Gosto"
Were it not for Mylene Pires's bewitching vocal presence, Telepathique would be the go-to techno/house/whatever alternative for directors shooting those expository spy-flick nightclub scenes where something dangerous is about to happen; you know, the dancers are writhing and bathed in red light and someone's being chased through the crowd or whatever. I feel like an ass when I say stuff like this, but it's true.
"The Grown Up"
Jacking a bunch of Seinfeld sound bites to pad your underground mixtape is a neat way to draw attention, but what good is it if they overshadow your sub-par (substandard at best) rhyming skills?

Tracheal cancer is a rare cancer that starts in the windpipe (trachea).
We hope this information answers your questions. If you have any further questions, you can ask your doctor or nurse at the hospital where you are having your treatment.
The trachea is the tube that connects your mouth and nose to your lungs. It divides into two tubes, called the right and the left bronchus, where it joins to each lung. Air passes through the trachea to go in and out of the lungs as you breathe.
The trachea is in front of your oesophagus (gullet), which is the tube that food goes down. The trachea is about 10–16cm (5–7in) long. It is made up of rings of tough, fibrous tissue (cartilage). You can feel these if you touch the front of your neck.
Diagram to show the position of the trachea
View a large copy of the diagram to show the position of the trachea|
We don't know exactly what causes tracheal cancer. The most common type of tracheal cancer is called squamous cell cancer. Squamous cell cancer is linked to smoking cigarettes. However, other types of tracheal cancer don't seem to be caused by smoking.
The most common symptoms of tracheal cancer are:
These symptoms can be caused by other conditions, but it's important to have them checked by your doctor.
You usually start by seeing your GP. If they are unsure what the problem is, or think your symptoms could be caused by cancer, they will refer you to a hospital specialist.
At the hospital, the specialist doctor will examine you and ask you about your symptoms and general health. They will arrange any tests you need. Several tests may be used to help diagnose tracheal cancer and to check whether it has spread:
X-rays use high-energy rays to take a picture of the inside of your body. Your doctor can use an x-ray of your chest to look at your lungs and trachea.
These simple tests measure how well your lungs are working. You wear a nose clip and breathe through a mouth piece into a machine. The doctor or nurse will tell you when and how hard to breathe. You usually sit down while you're having lung function tests. They can take 30–60 minutes.
A CT scan| takes a series of x-rays that build up a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body. The scan is painless and takes 10–30 minutes. CT scans use a small amount of radiation, which is very unlikely to harm you and won't harm anyone you come into contact with. You may be asked not to eat or drink for at least four hours before the scan.
You may be given a drink or injection of a dye, which allows particular areas in the body to be seen more clearly on the scan. For a few minutes, this may make you feel hot all over. If you're allergic to iodine or have asthma, you could have a more serious reaction to the injection, so it's important to let your doctor know beforehand.
This test is similar to a CT scan, but uses magnetism instead of x-rays to build up a detailed picture of areas of your body. Before the scan, you may be asked to complete and sign a checklist. This is to make sure it's safe for you to have an MRI scan|.
Before the scan you'll be asked to remove any metal belongings, including jewellery. Some people are given an injection of dye into a vein in the arm. This is called a contrast medium and can help the images from the scan show up more clearly. During the test, you'll be asked to lie very still on a couch inside a long cylinder (tube) for about 30 minutes. It is painless but can be slightly uncomfortable, and some people feel a bit claustrophobic during the scan. It's also noisy, but you'll be given earplugs or headphones.
The doctor examines your trachea using a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera at the end (bronchoscope). The doctor passes the bronchoscope into your nose or mouth and down into the trachea. Using the bronchoscope, they can take photographs and small samples of tissue (biopsies) from any areas that don't look normal. A doctor who specialises in analysing cells (pathologist) examines the biopsy under a microscope to look for signs of cancer.
You will be asked not to eat or drink anything for a few hours before the bronchoscopy. Just before the test, you may be given a mild sedative to make you feel sleepy and relaxed. Once you're comfortable, the doctor sprays a local anaesthetic on to the back of your throat to make it numb.
The test can be uncomfortable, but it only takes a few minutes. You should not eat or drink for at least an hour afterwards, or until your throat has stopped feeling numb. You will be able to go home when the sedative wears off, but you shouldn't drive for 24 hours after the test. If possible, ask someone to collect you from the hospital, as you may feel sleepy.
Instead of a flexible bronchoscope, the doctor may use a straight, firm bronchoscope to keep the trachea steady while they examine it and take biopsies. You usually have a general anaesthetic for this and you may have to stay in hospital overnight.
This is similar to a flexible bronchoscopy, but uses soundwaves to build up a picture on a computer screen. The doctor passes an ultrasound probe on the end of the bronchoscope into the trachea to examine areas nearby.
This test takes less than an hour and you can usually go home on the same day.
The stage of a cancer describes its size and whether it has spread. Knowing the stage helps doctors decide on the best treatment for you. Different types of staging systems are used for different cancers. But because tracheal cancer is rare, there isn't a standard system for it.
Your doctor can give you more information. They might describe the stage of the cancer as:
The grade of a cancer gives the doctor an idea of how quickly it may develop. Doctors will look at a sample of the cancer cells under a microscope to find the grade of the cancer.
A low-grade tumour will usually grow more slowly and be less likely to spread than a high-grade tumour.
Your treatment will depend on the stage and grade of the cancer and your general health. The main treatments for tracheal cancer are surgery and radiotherapy. If possible, the cancer will be removed completely with surgery. Radiotherapy is often given after this to reduce the risk of cancer coming back. Radiotherapy may also be used if the tumour is in a difficult place to operate on, or for people who are not able to have an operation.
Chemotherapy is sometimes given after surgery or radiotherapy to reduce the risk of cancer coming back.
Radiotherapy or chemotherapy may also be given to relieve symptoms if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. If the tumour is blocking your airway or making it hard to breathe, several other treatments can help.
The surgeon may be able to remove an early, local cancer completely. They do this by removing the section of trachea where the cancer is, and then joining the cut ends back together. This is specialised surgery, so it's only available at some hospitals. You may have to travel to a hospital where a team of specialist surgeons with experience of this type of surgery can look after you.
The thought of having any type of surgery can be frightening. Your surgeon or specialist nurse will explain what to expect, and answer any questions before your operation.
You will be looked after in a high-dependency unit or intensive care for a few days. You will have a wound in your neck or chest. To start with, you'll have drainage tubes to remove any extra fluid or blood from the area. Until you can drink properly, you will have fluids given through a drip (infusion). A physiotherapist will help you do breathing exercises and to cough up any phlegm (sputum).
You may have a stitch under your chin or a neck brace. This keeps your head safely in a position that protects the trachea as it heals. About a week after the operation, the doctor or nurse will remove the stitches or neck brace. Your trachea will be slightly shorter, so you still need to be careful about moving your head for a while. Your surgeon will give you advice about this.
Radiotherapy| uses high-energy x-rays to destroy cancer cells, while doing as little harm as possible to normal cells. Radiotherapy can be given after surgery to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back, or if some of the cancer couldn't be removed. If you can't have surgery, radiotherapy may be used as the first treatment. It can also be given to relieve the symptoms of cancer that has spread outside the trachea.
You have treatment in small doses (called fractions) over 3–7 weeks. It is given by a radiotherapy machine, which is similar to a large x-ray machine. The length of time it's given for depends on the type of tumour you have and its size. Radiotherapy only treats the area of the body that the rays are aimed at. It doesn't make you radioactive. If you are having radiotherapy to control symptoms, such as pain, you might only need a few days of treatment or even just a single dose.
You may have side effects during radiotherapy. These usually disappear gradually over a few weeks or months after treatment finishes. Your radiotherapy team will let you know what to expect. Tell them about any side effects you have. There are often things that can be done to help.
After 2–3 weeks of treatment, the main problem you're likely to notice is difficulty swallowing|. This happens because the radiotherapy can make your throat sore and dry inside . You may also have heartburn or indigestion .
If you find it hard to eat and drink, let your doctor or nurse know. They can give you advice and medicines to help. They may refer you to a dietitian for more advice. You may need food supplements to add extra energy and/or protein to your diet. Some can be used to replace meals, while others are used in addition to your normal diet. A few of these products are available directly from your chemist or the supermarket, but your doctor, nurse or dietitian can also prescribe them for you.
Radiotherapy can also make your trachea and lungs sore and swollen. This may make you feel breathless or give you a dry cough or chest pain. It can start in the weeks after treatment and usually improves with time. If you notice these side effects, tell your doctor. They can give you drugs and treatment to help.
Your radiotherapy team will give you advice about skincare during treatment. It's common to have a skin reaction in the area of your chest and neck being treated. The skin can become sore and red. This usually starts about 2–3 weeks after treatment starts and may last for 3–4 weeks after treatment ends. Let your radiotherapy team know if your skin becomes sore. They can give you painkillers and advice about caring for your skin until it heals.
We have more information about radiotherapy| and coping with side effects|.
Chemotherapy| is the use of anti-cancer (cytotoxic) drugs to destroy the cancer cells. Chemotherapy is sometimes given with radiotherapy if tracheal cancer can't be removed with surgery. Chemotherapy may also be given to help control the symptoms of cancer that has spread.
The side effects depend on the drug or combination of drugs you are given. Your doctor or nurse will explain any treatment you are offered and what to expect. Let them know about any side effects during treatment. They can often prescribe drugs to reduce them.
Chemotherapy can reduce the number of white blood cells in your blood during treatment. This will make you more likely to get an infection. Your doctor or nurse will give you advice about what to do if this happens.
Chemotherapy can also cause other side effects|, such as feeling tired, a sore mouth, feeling sick (nausea) or being sick (vomiting), diarrhoea and hair loss. Let your doctor or nurse know about any side effects, as they can often give you advice and help to reduce these.
We have more information about coping with the side effects| of chemotherapy and about different chemotherapy drugs|.
If the tumour is making it difficult for you to breathe, you may need other types of treatment to clear your trachea. You might need this to control breathing symptoms caused by advanced cancer. But these treatments may also be used before you start treatment for much earlier stages of cancer.
These treatments are usually done using rigid bronchoscopy while you are under a general anaesthetic. Your doctor will explain what to expect and any side effects that are likely with your treatment.
The doctor uses surgical instruments through the bronchoscope to remove the part of the tumour blocking your trachea.
This type of radiotherapy can be used to shrink the tumour in the trachea. A thin tube is put inside your trachea, close to the tumour. A solid radioactive material is then put inside this tube and left in place for a few minutes.
This treatment destroys the tumour inside the trachea with a laser light. The doctor aims a laser light at the tumour to remove as much of it as possible.
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen, which is very cold, to freeze and destroy cancer cells. The doctor puts a thin tube close to the tumour and runs liquid nitrogen inside the tube to make it freeze. They move the probe around until enough of the tumour has been removed to open up your airway.
Diathermy is also known as electrocautery. The doctor uses a tube heated by an electrical current to destroy the tumour blocking the trachea.
This treatment also uses heat to destroy areas of the tumour. The doctor puts a thin tube close to the tumour and uses argon gas and an electric current to heat up the area.
This treatment uses laser or other light sources, and a light-sensitive drug to destroy cancer cells. The doctor gives you the drug as an injection into your vein. This makes cells in your body more sensitive to light. The doctor then aims a light at the tumour in the trachea. This starts the drug working to destroy the cancer cells.
Sometimes a small device called a stent is put inside the trachea to hold it open where the tumour is starting to block it. The most common type of stent is a small wire frame. The doctor uses a bronchoscope to put the folded-up stent into the trachea. As it comes out of the end of the bronchoscope, the stent opens up like an umbrella. This pushes and holds the airway open.
Afterwards, you won't usually feel the stent and you'll be able to breathe more easily. It can stay in your trachea permanently.
You will have regular check-ups once your treatment has finished. These may continue for several years. If you have any problems or notice any new symptoms between visits, let your doctor know.
You may have many different emotions|, from shock and disbelief to fear and anger. At times, these feelings can be overwhelming and hard to control. But they are natural and it's important to be able to express them.
Everyone has their own way of coping. Some people find it helps to talk to family or friends, while others get help from people outside their situation. Sometimes it's helpful to share your experiences at a local cancer support group| or through our online community|. You may want to talk to our cancer support specialists free on 0808 808 00 00, Monday–Friday, 9am–8pm. There is no right or wrong way to cope, but help is there if you need it.

The public bathroom on the corner of Front and Laurel streets burned down the morning of Thursday, Oct. 8.; later in the afternoon, the wooden frame was still crackling from the heat of the earlier inferno. A few googly eyes remained stuck to the bathroom logo on the outside.
An investigation found that someone had caused the fire, according to Santa Cruz Fire Department Captain Jason Hajduk, but there wasn't enough evidence left after the flames to pinpoint whether or not it was an accident.
An SCPD officer first spotted the fire and reported it around 3:30 a.m. on Thursday as he was going off duty. Investigators from SCPD looked at surveillance footage to try to identify the last person to use the toilet, but they don't have any suspects, says police spokesperson Joyce Blaschke.
The city's Public Works Department has already decided to replace the restroom, which opened more than 18 months ago, for a $1,000 replacement fee, says Scott Collins, assistant to the city manager.
Earlier this summer, the city launched an initiative to keep its slightly fancier bathrooms on Soquel Avenue open 24 hours a day. Collins says staff is strongly considering extending that pilot program, although they've found some damage. "I'm pleasantly surprised at how it's gone, but there's been some minor issues," Collins says.
Activist Brent Adams started the Downtown Bathroom Taskforce, which cleaned the portable bathroom four days a week before City Council voted to keep its Soquel Avenue bathrooms open all night. The portable bathroom had been much cleaner, Adams says, after the city brought the new Soquel bathrooms into the fold, and also strengthened its cleaning schedule.
"I'm really happy the city is talking about replacing it," Adams says of the bathroom, "because anything in that area is really necessary, based on the profound amount of use that unit gets."

The Water Supply Advisory Committee (WSAC), which aimed to finalize its recommendations by 6 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2, wrapped up with four minutes to spare. The recommendations aren't what any single committee member would call ideal, according to WSAC member Mike Rotkin, but after 18 months, it was as close as anyone was going to get.

Doctors have been diagnosing patients for centuries. So you might suspect this work can't be patented. After all, physicians base their diagnoses on natural phenomena, which are unpatentable under longstanding Supreme Court precedents.
More and more often, however, physicians are using technology to help make their diagnoses. This technology is patentable.
Tale of Two Patents
Prometheus arises from two patents on methods of using thiopurine drugs to treat autoimmune diseases. These drugs need to be administered carefully; too low a dose is ineffective, while too high a dose is toxic.
Different Decision
The Federal Circuit saw things differently. It held, in 2009, that the claimed methods were patentable subject matter.
Law of the Land
This issue isn't settled yet. "Mayo intends to file a petition for certiorari," says Jonathan Singer, a Fish & Richardson principal who is representing Mayo in this litigation. "For Mayo, the case is important for the principle for which it will ultimately stand: whether doctors can freely use natural relationships in the treatment of their patients. It's widely perceived as a biotech case of national importance. It's been up to the Supreme Court once before, and they have certainly shown a real interest in this issue."

Drew Storen's 2012 season was another lesson in Why Not to Pay for Saves: 101. On March 28, after almost all fantasy drafts had taken place, it was reported that Storen was feeling a little elbow soreness. He would miss the start of the season, but he was expected to resume closing duties sometime in mid-April. Then on April 3, Storen was place on the 15-day DL only to undergo surgery eight days later to remove bone chips from his elbow. All of a sudden he was expected to miss half the season. Storen returned to action on July 19 and pitched 30.1 innings over the season's final three months. By the end of the year he had a stellar 2.37 ERA and an even more impressive 0.99 WHIP but despite putting in a half-season's worth of superb play, Storen's value in non-holds leagues was shot. He ranked just 374th in large part to his paltry four saves on the year. You see, while Storen was rehabbing, Tyler Clippard was closing. And even when Storen returned, Clippard kept the job. It's not Storen's fault in the least, but that doesn't change the fact that he'd become a significantly less impactful player in fantasy just because his role had changed. Had Storen been a player at any other position — literally anything but relief pitcher — he would have been guaranteed to have had just as much value upon his return as he had before the season (assuming he played well). In roto leagues you could have just plugged him into a lineup and watched him mash 10 second-half homers, steal 10 second-half bases, or win seven second-half games. Had he regained his job once he returned to the Nats' pen he would have been as highly sought after in fantasy leagues as he was before the season, but in fantasy baseball relievers often have their values change dramatically overnight. And that's just another reason why you don't pay for saves. At a Glance Strengths: SV, ERA, WHIP, BB, BB/9 Neutral: W, L, K, K/9 Weaknesses: none Player Comparisons Best-case scenario: Jonathan Papelbon (PHI) Likely scenario: Jason Motte (STL), Joe Nathan (TEX), Addison Reed (CHW) Worst-case scenario: Tom Wilhelmsen (SEA) Drew Storen 2013 Fantasy Projection Only in a closer's world would an 8.56 K/9 be considered "neutral," but there are a lot of very elite strikeout relievers out there. Storen's projected 58 Ks just don't represent a strength, but any pitcher — relievers included — who can post a WHIP around 1.00 is pretty special. With two straight years of great OBAs (despite very low BABIPs), Storen is that guy. I feel very confident naming him an elite, stable closing option despite what happened last season. The Nationals have had him penciled in as closer ever since they drafted him in 2009, and 2012 was just a small setback in what promises to be a great run of dominance from Storen.

Nerds of the world, unite! Oh, wait, you already did. From Amsterdam to Austin, self-proclaimed nerds are gathering at bars and restaurants to drink and, as they put it, "learn something." And Phoenix is no exception. The new-ish chapter of this oh-so-informal club meets at Carly's Bistro on Roosevelt Row. Topics so far have included "Dialogues between Science and Literature," the story of "audience modeling software," and one we're really sorry we missed — our own Serene Dominic on the virtues of "the best rock band of all time," The Osmonds?!?! We just gotta say it: nerd alert! In a good way, of course.

I've been using PopChar for years now - it's quite inexpensive and a better alternative to Character Viewer. Use the trail version and see if it's useful for you.
Good luck,

since moving to Mountain Lion, dragging a character actually deletes it, making it impossible to manage my list. Further, sometime a character would disappear just by clicking it.
I have not seen this reported elsewhere so far, and dragging works right for me. You might try moving the .plist with CharacterPalette in its name in Home/Library/Preferences to your desktop and restarting (that may mean you have to reenter all your favorites however). To reach Home/Library you have to hold the Option key down while doing Finder > Go.

Thank you so much for your post. I installed the trial version of PopChar, but unfortunately most of the features I wanted to try before purchasing it are only for registered users.
As Character Viewer works perfectly on my Lion desktop (the problem is only on my Mountain Lion MacBook Pro) I guess I will spend another few days trying to fix this issue.

Hi Tom, and thanks for your post. I had actually tried to delete both the CharacterPaletteIM.plist and the CharacterPicker.plist and restart Character Viewer, but the issue persisted. I checked Ultra Character Map and, as you say, you cannot customize the favorites order. Thanks a lot for the suggestion anyway!

Thank you for your new post, Tom.
I had actually tried that, but the problem persists (which made me believe that maybe it was a general bug of the Character Viewer in Mountain Lion... but as you say that you don't have the same issue, it must be something on my system)

I've been to an Apple Store today: I verified all the machines running 10.8.2, and all the Retina Display MacBookPro showed the same issue; all the non-Retina Display machines were OK. I reported the problem to a Genius and we came to the conclusion that it's a 10.8.2 bug. He said he will report it to Apple, so for a while... let's cross our fingers and hope that Apple fix this problem soon.
Thanks to Tom and clintofrombirmingham for their help!

This bug in the operation of Character Viewer only occurs with Retina displays? That is really strange!
tatsuya Jan 18, 2013 8:08 PM
in response to Tom Gewecke
Hi, Tom!
It doesn't appear to be so strange, actually.
I've got a couple of graphic apps that work perfectly on my 10.8.2 MacPro, but not on my 10.8.2 Retina MacBookPro. In one case - a nice app called "image2icon" that allows you to create .icns file very simply - there was a major Retina-only issue where you could not save files (the developers have already fixed that, but it seems that it took them a while to understand why Retina machines behaved differently than other machines using the same system). That was the first time I got aware of the fact that the difference between Retina and non-Retina machines is not only in the screen, but also in the system.
The Genius at the Apple Store also confirmed me that they have a lot of issues related to using Xcode on Retina-display MacBookPros, and they are currently recommending heavy users of Xcode to avoid using Retina-display machines until they got it fixed. BTW, changing the resolution of the screen doesn't resolve any of those issues (the Genius tried to do it on my MacBookPro, but it didn't work).
I have reported this Character Viewer glitch on the Apple Bug Reporter, so let's hope they find a solution very soon. However, I found no mention of any Retina-only fix on 10.8.3 builds seeded by Apple lately, so probably it will take some time.
Enjoy your weekend!
Tom Gewecke Jan 19, 2013 7:53 AM
in response to tatsuya
Thanks for the additional info. It is kind of a nightmare for troubleshooting software malfunctions if you have to take into account the screen type. At least until everyone has retina:-)

Memorial Day became a haven for needless violence in Yokohama, Japan, and Chicago, Illinois, yesterday for two formerly famous people - rather against the purpose of the day. If you have a particularly queasy stomach and can't bear the sight of blood or nostalgia, please look away now.
First, Jose Canseco stepped away from his soothsaying long enough to pick up his stellar MMA fighting career again. However, he's moved on from fighting other formerly famous people and now wants to fight actual MMA fighters … well, at least a 7′2″ Korean fellow named Hong Man Choi.
The epic battle lasted just over a minute as Choi waited until the middle-aged man stopped bouncing around him and got tired. Then Choi kicked his posterior.
But that wasn't the most violent mismatch of the day, even. Just wait till you see what Mr. T took on…
Mr. T, who has been keeping plenty busy lately, joined the Cubs Monday to celebrate America's veterans by throwing out the first pitch and singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley:
No … not "sing". That would be a hate crime on a verb. He made "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" into a beat poem. Like, "Mr. T beat on that poem like Clubber Lang would."
*UPDATE*: We now have video of Jose's bad but quick day, courtesy of THE SPORTING BLOG:

AnnMarie Papa, DNP, RN, CEN, NE-BC, FAEN, president of the ENA and one of this year's HealthLeaders 20, is working to raise awareness of this problem. And violence against nurses isn't limited to the ED. I once witnessed a nine-year-old girl who was recovering from surgery attempt to kick, punch, and bite the nurses who tried to remove her catheter, while her mother stood idly by.
Anyone who's ever been on a maternity ward knows that security is—and should be—extremely tight. One can assume it was even tighter for the Kennedy family. Remember the scene at Lenox hill Hospital in New York last month after the birth of Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter?
Patients on maternity wards should be grateful for and understanding of that level of security.
I don't claim to know what happened in this particular incident, but it's encouraging that the hospital is standing by its nurses. All parents—even high-profile ones—should understand although maternity ward security might seem excessive or overly cautious, it's simply in place to protect newborns.
So what if a nurse wants to check or double-check or triple-check your baby's safety? Be understanding. Comply with the rules. And say thank you.
