A 12-year-old Lewes boy is charged with arson in connection with a camper trailer fire at the Tall Pines Campground on Thursday.
The blaze on Pine Tree Road was first reported just before 4:30 p.m., according to Deputy Fire Marshal Harry Miller.
Firefighters from Lewes, Milton and Rehoboth Beach who arrived on the scene discovered heavy fire in one camper that had spread to another.
Damages are estimated at about $15,000, Miller said.
Investigators determined the boy, who reportedly lives in the campground, had started the fire and charged him with second-degree arson and criminal trespass.
The boy later was released to the custody of his parents, pending a hearing in Sussex County Family Court, Miller said.

Leaf Blowers Go Green (page 2 of 4)
by National Gardening Association Editors
The Big Problems: Noise and Pollution
Measuring noise is problematical because sound-measuring devices can't account for the total effect of a sound on our nerves. The small two-stroke engines that power blower-vacs usually take most of the blame for the irritating racket they make. But it turns out that the blowers-- distinctively shrill whine is largely due to the fan's sucking air through a small tube.
Sound levels are reported using the method established by the American National Standards Institute and known as ANSI B175.2. It measures sound in decibels at 50 feet. But for a real-world test, ask your dealer to start up two or three competitive models with similar noise ratings. You may notice a distinct difference among otherwise similar blowers.
Two-stroke engines are powerful for their weight and inexpensive to manufacture, but these advantages are also disadvantages: They are inherently dirtier and noisier. Manufacturers such as Echo utilize unique sound attenuation technology for the PB-46LN. Others have designed larger mufflers, rubber-isolated engine mounts, and spring-mounted handles. Some, like Husqvarna with its E-Tech engine, have developed low-smoke oil and redesigned the combustion chamber and muffler in order to reduce emissions. Both Honda and Ryobi have designed smaller, quieter, and less polluting four-stroke engines that will soon serve to power blower-vacs.
Measure the oil-gas mixture for two-stroke engines accurately. Too much oil produces excess smoke and reduces engine life. (Most manufacturers offer handy, pre-measured bottles of oil that can be mixed into 1- or 2-gallon containers of gasoline.)
Electric blower-vacs. In response to the backlash against gas-powered blower-vacs, corded electric models are now more powerful than ever, some of them even surpassing their gas-powered brethren, and with less weight. The biggest drawback to these units is that you're limited to 100 feet from any outlet, or the motor can be damaged. A few cordless battery-powered blower-only models are also available, but they tend to be heavy and have limited run times.
Blower Etiquette and Safety
Whether they're gas or electric, use blower-vacs considerately and responsibly. Naturally, it is important to comply with any local ordinances or regulations that affect blowers or power equipment. If blower-vac use is not regulated in your area, consider following the typical guidelines of operating them only between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. weekdays and Saturday. Also remember to minimize the high-pitched whine by using lower throttle speeds. For safety's sake always wear eye protection and ear protection. Never point a blower-vac toward a pet or another person, and don't operate them at all until bystanders and especially children are clear.

ZF-5290: Zend_Form_Element_File getFileName should have an additional optional parameter to truncate the path
The Zend_Form_Element_File getFileName($value = null) function should have an additional optional parameter which would be $path = null just like in the Zend_File_Transfer_Abstract class where the getFileName accepts a boolean (on the second parameter) which will truncate the full path if true is passed.
If value is empty, the adapter's getFileName is called and therefore Zend_Form_Element_File getFileName function should be behaving the same as the one in the abstract class.
The suggested correction would then be:
public function getFileName($value = null, $path = null) { if (empty($value)) { $value = $this->getName(); }
return $this->getTransferAdapter()->getFileName($value, $path);
And why should this be a bug ? What you describes looks for me like a feature request and not like a bug.
Changed type from bug to improvement.
According to manual and API doc the method getValue returns ONLY the filename without path. To get the complete path you must use getFileName().
So eighter use getValue or call basename on the returned information.
My bad about choosing the wrong type.
getValue() works well but I thought that since the getFileName() function uses the transfer adapter's getFileName() function, it should behave in a similar way.
Behaviour improved with r13712

This odd looking fruit is actually one of the oldest members of the citrus family. Although it smells strongly of lemon, it has no juicy pulp hidden beneath its rind. Instead, the Buddha's Hand is grown commercially for its powerful zest. The aromatic rind is used to flavor lemon liqueurs and specialty vodkas, and provides aroma to lemon-scented cosmetics. Chinese and Japanese households hang it in their homes as a natural air freshener, and it even has a place in some religious ceremonies.
Candied Buddha's Hand Citron
Peels from 1 large Buddha's Hand citron
2 c white sugar
1-2 c extra-fine sugar for dusting (see note)
1. Place citrus strips in sauce pan and cover with water. Bring to boil and then simmer
for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse peels, and then repeat process 2 more times to
tenderize peels and remove any bitterness.
2. Make a simple syrup over medium-high heat by mixing white sugar with 2 c water.
Be sure to stir the syrup until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. When the syrup boils, add boiled peels and adjust heat to maintain a moderate boil.
Stir occasionally until the syrup reaches 230°F, about 1-2 hours total. Note that as
the syrup diminishes from the pan, you will need to stir more frequently.
4. Line a cookie sheet with foil and spread half of the extra-fine sugar in a thin layer.
5. When the syrup reaches 230°F, carefully remove peels and place onto sugared
cookie sheet. Sprinkle more extra-fine sugar on top of the peels and toss to
coat completely.
6. When cool enough to handle, dry peels on a rack overnight. Store in a cool, air-tight
container in single layers between waxed paper. Makes 12-24 pieces.
Note: To make extra fine sugar at home, place 1 cup of white sugar in a food processor and whirl for 30-60 seconds.

Interview and photos by Seher Sikandar
Little Dragon is a Gothenburg, Sweden based band that has been one of music lovers' best kept secrets of the last couple years. With swinging electro-synth tracks and soulful yet at times haunting vocals of lead Yukimi Nagano, Little Dragon's sounds have put many in a blissful trance, including myself. The band consists of Håkan Wirenstrand on keys, Fredrik Källgren Wallin on bass, and Erik Bodin on drums. Yukimi is known to get down on a little percussion as well.
Between the concept of their debut music video for "Twice" extended into a short film that showed at Cannes, a soundtrack feature on Grey's Anatomy, and a recent tour with TV on the Radio this spring, Little Dragon is coming to spray its dragon breath in an ear near you.
I was lucky enough to sit down with the fun and quirky bunch where we got to talk about tourettes, the recording process, and fruit. High school crushes and drugs, too. You know how we do.
I read that you all went to high school together – that's awesome. What was life like in those days? What would you guys talk about and dream about?
YN: I think we admired each other already as musicians. Kinda like, I thought you [gestures to Eric] were a really good drummer -
EB: [to Yukimi] And I thought you were really cute. [Yukimi laughs] But really, she was the only one of the girls – and boys – who was singing that sort of got a spell on you right away. She had the magic already, back then. [sings "I got a spell on you"] But I remember the first time we all started playing, we were fourteen or something and Yukimi came with a red gothic outfit with this amazing deep voice.
So in high school you all were already kinda jamming out and stuff.
EB: Yeah, we formed a little band in high school.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]Jonathan Givony's latest tweet: "Hearing that if the Knicks miss on both Sessions and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] they are going to go after Pablo Prigioni." Who's Pablo Prigioni? A 32 year old, 6′1″ veteran point guard from Argentina. He averaged 10 assists and 4 steals per game playing for Tau Vitoria last season. Givony says that Prigioni is the "ultimate pass-first playmaker, a master of the pick and roll play." For Givony's full scouting report of Prigioni click [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]Sort of like we did with [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] last year even if he wasn't too much of an NBA prospect, this time we had to feature Pablo Prigioni (his successor as MVP) after his fantastic tournament, which comes to confirm an awesome season that has placed him among the best point guards in Europe. Last season, playing off the bench behind José Manuel Calderón (currently with the Raptors), it was pretty obvious that Tau evolved more fluidly with him on the court. But this season has been a true coming out party for him. He leads both the Euroleague and the ACB League in assists per game, with a total of 6.7 per game on average, a remarkable amount for international basketball where assists are much tougher to accumulate.
Prigioni is the ultimate pass-first playmaker, a master of the pick and roll play. His virtuosity pairing with [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] reminds us of the likes of Nash & Stoudemire or even Stockton & Malone. Indeed the team orchestrates its offensive game almost always starting from picks in the high post. He's the engine that makes Tau run, a necessity for a team that is becoming dangerously dependant on him. In the final, he set a new record of assists in the competition, with 15 dimes. His court vision, while excellent, perhaps is not off the charts, but he's incredibly smart and shows an awesome basketball IQ leading his team and a privileged quick mind.
That quick mind is seeding the terror on the rival point guards, victims of his hunger for steals. It's rare the game that Prigioni doesn't come away with a steal from an inbound pass after a basket. Everybody knows it already, but it keeps happening. In the Cup, he was even more prolific than usual.
You might wonder why he isn't a serious NBA prospect despite his wonderful skills. Well, Pablo is not a great athlete. He's average… in Europe, which would make poor in the NBA. It's questionable whether he would be able to deal with the very quick American point guards. Besides, he's not a shooter a la Jasikevicius, although he's fairly reliable when left open. And he's not a kid anymore. Anyway, if you can't get a look at him in Europe, you will likely be able to enjoy his play in the next World Championships in Japan this upcoming summer.
Judging from his skills in the pick and roll and his high basketball IQ, he would be an excellent fit in this system. His athleticism and age is a concern, but I wouldn't think it would cost us much. If Sessions doesn't workout, he would be a good option.

This bugfix breaks Zend_CodeGenerator testsuite, now generating code with primative types in the parameter hints
Benjamin, this is... er... interesting.
The bug fix looks correct to me: the old test case was passing by luck -- it just happened that two params had the same type and so the fact the type for the wrong parameter was being returned wasn't picked up.
The new test case goes through each of the parameters and so picks up the error (it's not just THAT the old code fails, but HOW it fails that is interesting.) With the bug fix in place the new test passes. I've also been using it heavily and have not NOTICED a problem.
Of course there could be something else going on... :-)
I've not time to pop into the BugHunt today but I'm totally happy to track this one down. (It just so happens I wanted to get into Zend_CodeGenerator anyway.) Which tests were passing at r18072 but fail at r18073?

Keratoconus is an eye disease that affects the structure of the cornea. The cornea is the clear tissue covering the front of the eye.
The shape of the cornea slowly changes from the normal round shape to a cone shape. The eye bulges out. This causes vision problems.
The cause is unknown, but the tendency to develop keratoconus is probably present from birth. Keratoconus is thought to involve a defect in collagen, the tissue that provides strength to the cornea and gives it it's shape.
Some researchers believe that allergy and eye rubbing may play speed up damage.
There is a link between keratoconus and Down syndrome.
The earliest symptom is subtle blurring of vision that cannot be corrected with glasses. (Vision can most often be corrected to 20/20 with rigid, gas-permeable contact lenses.) Over time, you may have eye halos, glare, or other night vision problems.
Most people who develop keratoconus have a history of being nearsighted. The nearsightedness tends to become worse over time. As the problem gets worse, astigmatism develops.
Keratoconus is often discovered during adolescence. The most accurate test is called corneal topography, which creates a map of the curve of the cornea.
A slit-lamp examination of the cornea can diagnose the disease in the later stages.
A test called pachymetry can be used to measure the thickness of the cornea.
Contact lenses are the main treatment for most patients with keratoconus. Wearing sunglasses outdoors after being diagnosedmay help slow or prevent the disease from becoming worse. For many years, the only surgical treatment has been corneal transplantation.
The following newer technologies may delay or prevent the need for corneal transplantation:
In most cases vision can be corrected with rigid gas-permeable contact lenses.
If corneal transplantation is needed, results are usually good. The recovery period can be long, and patients often still need contact lenses.
There is a risk of rejection after corneal transplantation, but the risk is much lower than with other organ transplants.
Patients with even borderline keratoconus should not have LASIK, the most common type of laser vision correction. Corneal topography is done before laser vision correction to rule out people with this condition.
In rare cases of mild keratoconus, other laser vision correction procedures may be safe to use, such as PRK. For patients treated with CK or CXL, PRK may be safe to perform and may help to further improve the vision.
Young persons whose vision cannot be corrected to 20/20 with glasses should be evaluated by an eye doctor experienced with keratoconus. Parents with keratoconus should consider having their child or children screened for the disease starting at age 10.
There are no preventive measures. Some specialists believe that patients with keratoconus should have their eye allergies aggressively treated and should be instructed not to rub their eyes.

When visiting Victoria B.C. we highly recommend taking in some of the more well-known attractions or activities such as visiting the Butchart Gardens, have an exhilarating ride with Eagle Wing whale watching tours or perhaps a wonderful kayak day tour with Ocean River Sports. But then there's the not so well known… Victoria and Vancouver Island have some award winning, scenic and downright tasty wineries. (more…)

Higher Education
State and local public colleges and universities educate more than 70 percent of the students enrolled in this country's degree-granting institutions, according to the State Budget Task Force. It is no surprise, then, that higher education allocations accounts for 10 percent of state total expenditures, according to the National Association of State Budget Officers. Higher education budgets are attractive options for governors and lawmakers who need to cut down on their state's spending.

Good to see a cycling forum here. I bought a new bike about a month ago and have cycled to work every day since. It's so much better than taking the train: quicker, enjoyable and really wakes me up. Plus after a stressful day i can take it out on the pedals!
Anyone else agree??

PEORIA, Ill. - There was no shortage of heroes for the Bradley Baseball team in Sunday's series finale against Missouri State (24-10, 4-2 MVC) at O'Brien Field. The Braves (16-12-1, 3-3 MVC) earned a 4-3 victory to win the series 2-games-to-1 against the league's preseason favorite.
Junior left fielder Mike Tauchman drove in the winning run in the eighth inning by dumping a 2-out single into left field to bring home freshman first baseman Andrew Wasmund from third. Senior closer Danny Gifford worked around a 2-out walk in the ninth to earn his fifth save of the season to nail down Bradley's fifth win in its last five games.
Redshirt freshman right-hander Patrick Flanagan was stellar in his first start of the season, subbing for the injured John Nasshan. Flanagan threw six scoreless innings, allowing only two hits and two walks while striking out four.
Flanagan left the game with a 2-0 lead, thanks to some fortunate base-running for the Braves. Freshman center fielder Max Murphy appeared to be picked off first base by Missouri State catcher Luke Voit with two outs in the fifth. But when Voit threw to first, Murphy scrambled to second for a stolen base. Right fielder Bob Schuch, who was 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI's, drove home the game's first run when he followed with a single into center field.
The scoring was even more unconventional in the sixth inning after catcher Derek Sprout opened the frame with a single and took second on a Wasmund sacrifice. Freshman second baseman Chris Godinez followed with a fly ball into the right centerfield gap. Though MSU right fielder Trey Massenberg avoided a collision with his center fielder when he made the catch, he spun and made a lazy throw back to the infield. Sprout tagged on the play, never hesitated rounding third and beat the relay throw home to put the Braves ahead, 2-0.
Flanagan retired 13 of the final 14 batters he faced before turning the 2-0 lead over to the Bradley bullpen, but the Bears responded with three runs in the top of the seventh against junior right-hander Rob Kennedy. Second baseman Kevin Medrano had the big hit, delivering a 2-out, bases-loaded single into left field to put the Bears ahead, 3-2.
Bradley came right back in the bottom of the seventh after Tauchman chased Missouri State starter Cody Schumacher with a leadoff double. Massenberg again was the victim of bad luck in the gap as he slipped after chasing the ball down, allowing Tauchman to coast into second.
The Braves went on to load the bases with no outs when Greg Partyka walked and Murphy reached on an error, but it appeared the Bears might escape the jam unscathed after Jason Leblebijian popped out. Schuch followed with a ground ball to second, but hustled down the line as Missouri State was unable to complete the double play, allowing Tauchman to score the tying run.
Reliever Jacob Booden (2-1) then worked out of a bases loaded, no outs jam of his own in the top of the eighth by recording three straight strikeouts, setting the stage for the go-ahead rally in the home half of the eighth.
Wasmund opened the frame with a long single down the left field line, took second on a Godinez sacrifice and third on a Rob Elliott ground out before Tauchman flicked his base hit into left field.
The Braves will return to action by visiting Illinois-Chicago Tuesday night, then will host Valley-leading Indiana State in a 3-game set next weekend at O'Brien Field. Game times for the weekend series against the Sycamores are 6 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Perennials
Combining Tulips with Annuals and Perennials (page 2 of 2)
by National Gardening Association Editors
When combining tulips with perennials, consider some perennials that, although they may not flower at the same time as the tulips, will hide the dying and yellowing foliage of the tulips when they are finished blooming. Daylilies are a good example.
Plant annuals around tulips that are just poking out of the ground. Tulips grow quickly to their flowering stage in spring, especially if temperatures are warm. If the annual flowers are already blooming, they'll be ready for the opening tulip flowers.

ZF-3498: MultiCheckbox does not allow easily setting checked values
Not sure if this is a documentation issue, or something that needs API changes. Currently, it is difficult to set default values for a multiCheckbox element. The way to do so is using:
but it is not documented, and is unintuitive.
OK, you can check elements manually just by doing
now when dealing with large amounts of Options in your collection checking them like that does not work
foreach($option as $opt) $element->setValues($opt->id);
This will fail, without generating any error.. and the only way to check more than 1 is sending a whole array
Marking as a documentation improvement.
Document update applied in r10274
I'm sorry that I am reopening the issue but I have difficulties setting up default values for a _MultiCheckbox element. I create Zend_Form_Element_MultiCheckbox with multiple options like this:
$multiCheckbox = new Zend_Form_Element_MultiCheckbox( 'elId',array ( 'disableLoadDefaultDecorators' =>true ) );
$multiCheckbox ->setName( 'elId' ) ->setLabel('elId') ->setRequired( false ) ->setAttrib('class', 'inputtext') ->setDecorators( array( 'ViewHelper' ) ) ->setMultiOptions( $options ) ;
where the $options array is an associative array 'key' => 'value'. The field is displayed just fine and I can get all the checked values for that element.
When returning to that page I need to restore from the DB the whole list of options again and mark the checked ones. I have tried to do it like that:
$multiCheckbox ->setValue( $defaults );
where $default is array, containing elements of type 'checked_option_field_id' => true. That action checks ALL the checkboxes and not only the once I need and I have passed to the setValue() method. I have tried to pass just an array containing elements of type 'checked_option_field_id', but that also doesn't work - NONE of the checkboxes is checked. I have used the form setDefaults() method with those two kinds of arrays, but the results are same - as this method uses again setValue() for each element.
MultiCheckbox element is rendered like that ( result when try to set checked value for only one option ):
BoRoom Eng2
That element populates the checked option values in the elId[] array. That is the element name. setDefaults() form method gets all form elements by name and commit their default values by calling setDefault() form method and after that setValue() element method. So my multicheckbox element has name elId ( it does not get all the element options one by one ) and set default values for all options instead of just the given in the array.
That is how I see it and I can't find solution how to set default values only for some of the options of a multicheckbox element.

"My family and I enjoyed the bars. The only substitution to the recipe that I made was exchanging the cashews for peanuts. My family likes peanuts better; the bars were still a hit. Some family members like theirs in the refrigerator and others liked them at room temperature. Try it both ways and see what you enjoy best!"

Over the years I've collected many books on personal finance, investing, economics and work. So I was excited when my Next Avenue editor suggested I write a column highlighting excellent money and career books for boomers. Question was: What criteria to use in choosing them?
I decided to skip several classics, like Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits and Other Writings by Phillip Fisher, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness Of Crowds by Charles MacKay, The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre and my favorite analysis of booms and busts, Manias, Panics, and Crashes by Charles P. Kindleberger.
These are all terrific books, full of insight and wisdom, and well worth studying and revisiting over the years. Still, they're demanding on the reader — the kind of book you want to wade through in a university library.
(MORE: 4 Great New Tools To Manage Your Money)
In the end, I came up with an eclectic mix of seven reader-friendly books to help you manage money and career:
Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk by Peter L. Bernstein. The late financial economist was America's leading philosopher of risk and a wonderful translator of modern finance theory, converting math-heavy ideas into easy-to-understand sentences for everyone.
Against the Gods is a delightful exploration into the evolution of our understanding of probability and chance, filled with reminders that judgment truly matters in the world of finance (as Jamie Dimon, head of J.P. Morgan Chase, learned to his chagrin when the bank's trader known as the London "Whale" recently lost several billion dollars on speculative bets gone bad).
The real return from reading Against the Gods is a far greater appreciation of the importance of managing risk in our financial lives.
The Random Walk Guide to Investing by Burton G. Malkiel. Princeton University finance professor Malkiel wrote the investment classic A Random Walk Down Wall Street in 1973. This is his short, easily accessible version, subtitled "Ten Rules for Financial Success."
Malkiel's view is that you can't beat the stock market, so your best investment strategy is to buy low-cost, broad-based index mutual funds that match the market's performance. He also offers up other simple guideposts to managing your money wisely.

Welcome to Valley Forge
Valley Forge is the story of the six month encampment of the Continental Army of the newly formed United States of America under the command of General George Washington, a few miles from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Though no battle was fought here from December 19, 1777 to June 19, 1778, a struggle against the elements and low morale was overcome on this sacred ground.
"Naked and starving as they are we cannot enough admire the incomparable patience and fidelity of the soldiery." –General George Washington at Valley Forge, February 16, 1778.
"Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it."
This website was launched on Washington's Birthday, February 22, 1996.

ATLANTA (June 2, 2011)—Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is one of only 12 sites across the United States enrolling patients in a national clinical research trial which, for the first time is the United States, is using an investigational liver cell infusion to treat urea cycle disorders (UCDs) in children. At Children's, the trial is led by Emory University investigator, Dr. Miriam Vos and other members of the Center for Transplant Immunology and Immune Therapeutics, a research effort of the Emory-Children's Pediatric Research Center.
UCDs are congenital and often life-threatening disorders of ammonia metabolism in the liver. Neurotoxic ammonia accumulates in the body, which may lead – depending on the severity of the disease – to massive damage of the nerves and the brain and can be fatal. Children who remain untreated rarely experience normal physical and mental development. The only cure is liver transplantation, which is extremely difficult for very young children and neonatal patients. Additionally, there is a shortage of suitable organs available for transplantation.
"We are pleased to be participating in this trial because it has the potential to provide a treatment option for children with a rare and complicated diagnosis for which there are few options now. We are looking forward to conducting this clinical trial and learning more about this investigational product," said Miriam Vos, M.D., hepatologist at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University.
The clinical trial, called SELICA III, is sponsored by the biotechnology company Cytonet and is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of liver cell therapy in infants to children up to 5 years old with UCD. The trial will enroll 20 participants nationally. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) permitted the SELICA III trial to proceed following an analysis of interim results of an ongoing trial in Germany involving newborns with UCD.
Liver cell therapy involves collecting healthy cells from donated livers not suitable for transplantation (obtained from U.S. organ procurement organizations) which are then gently isolated and undergo complex processing. These cells are infused into the hepatic portal vein daily over six days.
The primary objective of the phase II trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of liver cell infusion. Subjects eligible for the trial are children 1 day to 5 years of age with a diagnosis of the following types of UCDs: ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD), carbamoylphosphate synthetase I deficiency (CPSD) or argininosuccinate synthetase deficiency (ASSD or citrullinemia). Risks include portal vein thrombosis and systemic shunting of liver cells.
For more information about SELICA III, visit Cytonet's website at www.cytonetllc.com. To inquire about enrollment in the trial at Children's, contact Nick Raviele at 404-727-3189.

About UCD
According to the National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation (NUCDF), a urea cycle disorder is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of one of the six enzymes in the urea cycle which is responsible for removing ammonia from the blood stream. The urea cycle involves a series of biochemical steps in which nitrogen, a waste product of protein metabolism, is removed from the blood and converted to urea. Normally, the urea is transferred into the urine and removed from the body. In urea cycle disorders, the nitrogen accumulates in the form of ammonia, a highly toxic substance, and is not removed from the body resulting in hyperammonemia (elevated blood ammonia). Ammonia then reaches the brain through the blood, where it causes irreversible brain damage, coma and/or death.
Urea cycle disorders are included in the category of inborn errors of metabolism. Inborn errors of metabolism represent a substantial cause of brain damage and death among newborns and infants. Because many cases of urea cycle disorders remain undiagnosed and/or infants born with the disorders die without a definitive diagnosis, the exact incidence of these cases is unknown and underestimated. It is believed that up to 20 percent of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome cases may be attributed to an undiagnosed inborn error of metabolism such a urea cycle disorder. In April 2000, research experts at the Urea Cycle Consensus Conference estimated the incidence of the disorders at 1 in 10,000 births. This represents a significant increase in case identification and diagnosis in the last few years. Research studies have now been initiated to more accurately determine the incidence and prevalence of UCDs. For more information, visit NUCDF at www.nucdf.org.

Fit in the First State is brought to you by the team at ATI Physical Therapy, a nationally-recognized physical therapy and sports medicine provider with over 200 locations nationwide and 24 right here in the First State. From stretching programs to exercise routine tips, our team brings you valuable health and fitness-related posts to help you get there to reach your health goals.
Low back pain is one of the most common injuries treated by physical therapists. There can be several reasons for the low back pain and the pain may radiate into one or both legs. Along with pain, other symptoms may occur, including decreased leg strength and numbness/tingling in the legs. You may notice that different positions or activities relieve or aggravate your symptoms.
When a patient first sees a physical therapist to treat his or her low back pain, the therapist will perform an individualized evaluation of the patient to determine potential contributors to the patient's pain. The initial evaluation will identify what problems need to be addressed during physical therapy, as well as set goals for treatment. Some common problems that physical therapists address in relation to low back pain are decreased core stability, decreased lower extremity flexibility, soft tissue restrictions in the back, altered joint mobility in the spine, deviated posture, and issues with body mechanics.
A typical treatment session begins with a warm-up, either active (such as light cardiovascular exercise) or passive (such as a moist hot pack) to warm up your muscles. Based on a patient's individual needs, treatment may also include manual therapy, soft tissue mobilization (massage), stretches, core stabilization and lower extremity strengthening exercise, functional lifting exercises to help a patient return to their prior functional level, endurance exercises, and pain modalities to help alleviate pain and reduce muscle soreness after activity.
If you have low back pain and you think that you may benefit from physical therapy, schedule a complimentary injury screening at ATI or speak with your physician about a prescription for physical therapy treatments. Good communication between your physician and physical therapist will help to ensure that you receive appropriate treatments for your individual situation.

As Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, aided by their allies, continue to slug it out, national columnists and reporters are experiencing the agonies of covering the Mormon church.
Utah news media has had to deal with the sensitivities in reporting on the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints and its powerful members since the show rolled into the Salt Lake Valley 165 years ago this month.
Unfortunately, Utah media still hasn't gotten very good at it.
Traditionally, a Utah reporter and editor/news director go through the following news selection process (Take it from someone who has worked in the newsrooms of the Trib and the Deseret News):
- Wow! We've stumbled onto a barn-burner of a story about (fill in the blank: Olympics, Main Street Plaza, City Creek Center, liquor laws, multi-million-dollar real estate scam, corruption at the Legislature, open records, trysts in hot tubs, potholes)!
- Oh, S**T! Reporter turns up the first Mormon connection. (Note: I'm not saying Mormons are any more dishonest as any other group just that they are as dishonest as any other group. And in a population that is at least two-thirds active Mormon, including most of the Legislature, the executive branch, school boards and the DABC—even little digging into a story usually turns up an LDS luminary or lay clergyman.)
- Inevitable discussion begins: "If we aggressively report and write this story with its unfortunate Mormon connections, how long before our bosses get complaints that we're "Mormon persecutors?" (about 43.5 seconds).
- Self censorship rears its hideous head. The suddenly "loose-cannon" reporter (who is often a Mormon): "If we don't go after this story like a pit bulls on crack—we betray our sacred watchdog role as a journalists." The now-preternaturally-objective editor: "Whoa, kid, let's make sure our ducks are in a row and our motives are pure before (I call up a hellacious s**t storm) we proceed."
- Story runs in vicinity of obits. The developer/legislator/official LDS mouthpiece calls the editor/publisher/station owner to express "sadness and disappointment" in reporter's motives.
The new Deseret News and KSL, of course, skip this agonizing process and simply produce another series on porn addiction.
On the national scene, the latest hapless victims being called anti-Mormon bigots are Andrew Sullivan at The Daily Beast and the editors at Bloomberg Business Week. BBW inexplicably gave Mormons an easy opening to attack an otherwise solid story on LDS Church finances by attaching a gratuitously tasteless cover image, shown above.
Sullivan, a Roman Catholic, has been arguing that Mitt Romney's religion has "cultish qualities," and that is a subject that journalists need to explore in a presidential candidate:
Why cannot non-Mormons come and go in Mormon Temples as they can in Cathedrals and mosques and synagogues? Why is it so hard for some to leave the LDS Church without social ostracism and peer pressure? How much money would taxpayers be automatically giving the LDS church by paying the president his salary? How much control does the LDS hierarchy have over its members? Why is missionary work compulsory? Why were Ann Romney's non-Mormon parents barred from attending her own Temple sealing?
Hoo-boy, Andy, you've saddened and disappointed the wrong people and can expect a freight train of passive-aggressive pain headed your way. The first shot from Mormondom came in the Washington Post:
No one believes Sullivan's own Catholic Church—a global faith that has inspired some of the world's greatest art, thought, and philanthropy—is a cult. But using Sullivan's tactics, it isn't hard to cast it in a dark, suspicious light.
Sullivan, whom any Utah reporter would have warned away from invoking the loaded C-word, responds to the first round of attacks here.
I am not going to be intimidated by accusations of "prejudice" into not exploring aspects of Mormon doctrine and practice when debating a presidential candidate whose entire identity has been forged by the LDS church and is one of the most prominent former church officials ever to run for president. This is a legitimate question about the identity and character and beliefs of a man running for the highest office in the land.
This is going to get ugly. (But generate lots of page views.)

Family of drowned teen sues Carolina Beach
Published: Friday, June 28, 2013 at 4:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 28, 2013 at 4:25 p.m.
The family of a Raleigh teen who drowned in 2011 filed a lawsuit against the town of Carolina Beach and three former town employees on Thursday, claiming negligence.
Geoffrey Okinyi, 19, died June 26, 2011, while inner-tubing with friends, after an inbound wave flipped the trio's inner tubes, capsizing them between 30 and 50 yards offshore. None of them knew how to swim.
Okinyi's friends made it back to shore and flagged down a lifeguard riding an ATV. Ocean rescue mobilized personnel to conduct a "line search," where lifeguards mass together to form a line and swim to the ocean bottom.
The incoming tide had pushed Okinyi closer to shore. His death marked Carolina Beach's first drowning in two years.
The lawsuit names the town of Carolina Beach, former rescue squad Director Alicia Lachance, her assistant Elliott Bass and former Police Chief William Younginer.
Court documents, provided by WWAY NewsChannel 3, allege that Okinyi and his friends chose to visit Carolina Beach in part because the town's website specified that 33 seasonal lifeguards monitored three miles of beach strand from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. But that day, LaChance told Bass to send some lifeguards home early because of inclement weather.
The lifeguards weren't called back on duty after the storm cleared, the lawsuit claims, so when Okinyi and his friends returned to the beach near the Harper Avenue access, no one was there to watch or warn them about rip currents.
The suit also claims that Lachance was ill-qualified for her position, and was hired by Younginer while the two were having an affair. "Younginer knew that ... Lachance was not qualified to direct the Ocean Rescue Squad," it says.
Lawrence S. Craige, the town's attorney, declined to comment on the suit, as did Interim Town Manager Bruce Shell.

Desktop Sharing Guide: Best Practices
Desktop Sharing is when your viewers watch your entire desktop in real-time. Intro Guide to Desktop Sharing is here.
Here are some tips to successful desktop sharing:
Move slower than normal
Depending on your users. internet connection, there is a 2-6 second delay between what is on your screen, and what your users see.
* Move your mouse half as fast as you normally would. In Public Speaking classes they tell you to speak half as fast as you normally would. Same thing with moving your mouse.
* After screen changes (like opening a new window), count to 4 in your head, before continuing your presentation.
Use your mouse wisely
Users whose screens are smaller then yours, will pan side to side, top to bottom, to follow your mouse. You can advise the to change the Zoom to "SHOW ALL" if they don't want the panning to occur. If you have a large screen, and you want people to see the lower right corner of your desktop, move your mouse there. Since users. screens pan towards your mouse, dont.t move around erraticly.
Check in with your users
Every few minutes, stop to make sure you users are following you, and understand.
Get the Vyew Accelerator
If you do a lot of desktop sharing, consider installing the Vyew Accelerator, which will give you better latency times.
Reduce your monitor resolution
If you want to users to be able to read text on the screen by seeing your presentation at 100% zoom, without having to pan, consider lowering your monitor resolution (to 1024×768 or 800×600), so that less pixels will be broadcast to your viewers.
Blurry text?
Desktop sharing imaging is optimized for speed, so sometimes small text may look blurry to viewers. If you are specifically showing text, here are some ideas:
. Make the text larger on your screen
. Advise viewers to keep their zoom at 100% (not at .Show All")
. Use ScreenCapture to capture a section of your desktop into your VyewBook

2012-2013 Women's Basketball Preview--Parks' Shining Debut Leads Lancers' Opening Win
Last season was a trying one at times for Pasadena City College women's basketball head coach Joe Peron. A perennial state power, the Lancers struggled in South Coast Conference play last season and while the team came on strong late in the year, the team did not advance to the third round of regional playoffs for the first time since 2002.
The team's 17-13 final record also was indicative of a rare off season for a program that won the 2009 CCCAA state title and had a run of seven straight appearances at the state championship tournament. One reason the Lancers failed last year was the lack of rebounding and lack of an inside presence other than Tonisha Lacey (graduated, now at Prarie View A&M University).
Peron and his recruiting staff, including assistant coaches La'Nette Dillard, Kinyada Johnson, and Beverly Powell, added height and a renewed rebounding strength for the 2012-2013 Lancers. The cream of the freshmen crop is 6-foot-4 center Kaitlyn Parks (Barstow High), an All-Area sensation from the Desert Sky League.
Parks looked like a seasoned veteran in her collegiate debut as she scored 19 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to lead the Lancers over Southwestern, 67-59, Friday night in the season-opening, PCC-hosted Veteran's Day Classic. Held at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium, the six team, round-robin tournament continues through Sunday, Nov. 11. PCC was rated No. 10 in the state pre-season poll.
PCC (1-0) plays Irvine Valley, a 72-30 winner over Taft, tonight at 7 p.m. On Sunday, the Lancers conclude the Veteran's Day Classic with a 4 p.m. tipoff against long-time rival Cypress College.
Parks was an impressive 8-for-10 from the field, three times following up with offensive rebounds and put-ups for baskets. Returning All-South Coast Conference sharp shooter and guard Stella Ghazarian added 18 points, nailing five 3-pointers, to go with seven rebounds. Off the bench, guard Desiree Loving impressed with eight points, six rebounds, and a team-high four steals. Loving (from Compton's Centennial High) was 4-for-4 at the free throw line as PCC shot just 50 percent from the stripe, 15-for-30.
"For a first game, I was very pleased with how we played," Peron said. "Kaitlyn is a real force out there and supplied us with exactly what we need in the paint. One thing that also I felt good about was the return of Shay Jackson to the court after three years away. She's our point guard and to see her finally get back to action was important for our program."
Jackson, who did look rusty, scored five points and made three assists, but showed speed on both sides of the court, another problem area for the team last season. The 5-4 sophomore Jackson is from Castlemont High in Oakland and red-shirted last year.
Starting letterman guard Sabrina Martinez played well on defense and finished with five points, a team-high six assists, and three steals. Averie-Alice Guzman, a 5-11 freshman forward from Burbank's Bellarmine-Jefferson High, rounded out the opening-night starting lineup. Guzman totaled three points, three assists and two rebounds, but is expected to be a big contributor on the boards this season.
Off the bench, Brianna Simmons, a 6-2 center from Centennial, scored five points and grabbed three rebounds while returning sophomore guard Kahlia Theus also tallied five points. Six-foot forward Brandi Dubose (Muir High) and 5-10 forward Sarah Jackson (Bonita High, four rebounds) also saw playing time in the opener.
PCC will await the debut of Tyler Crockom, a 5-10 frosh guard from Pasadena High. Rounding out the Lancers' '12-13 roster are frosh guard Angeline Jefferson (Maranatha HS), 5-10 guard Jimicia Brewer (from Canada), and guard Tatiana Shnorhavorian (Burbank High). Peron added a new assistant coach in Wade Kirchmeyer and continues to use the services of Gary Potts, director of basketball operations.
"We feel like we have the right blend of sophomores and freshmen to really make a comeback near the top of the SCC this season," Peron said. "We have some height, we have speed, strong defense, and clutch outside shooting. The opening game showed we're ready for the season."
In defeat, Southwestern was paced by Chelsea Ball with 14 points and 17 rebounds. In the other opening round game, Citrus downed Cypress, 67-54.
