Re: Hopman Cup 2012
Tursunov was one of the greatest characters in this event. I dont know why they dont bring him back he would make a great team with Sveta or Nastia. UK are a huge draw but Murray probably wants some real matches.

Re: Hopman Cup 2012
HC 2012 is almost over. They had a great week. The funnest bit was watching newcomers/journeymen (Dmitrov, Wu Di, Nielson) try their best versing the big guns, it was fun to watch, so I hope that continues in 2013.
I'm really hoping for a German team next time - with the female being Lisicki, Petkovic or Goerges (hopefully Julia) and the male being Kohlschreiber, Mayer or even Petzchner.
To have Serena and Roddick or Fish or Isner would be awesome but a long stretch, I guess. Maybe they should get Venus to come instead...
The Australian team - please bring Tomic next year, and pair up with Stosur.
A Russian team with Youzhny and Pavly, Kirilenko or Zvnonareva would be good. Dulko + Del Potro would be cool. Nishikori and Date-Krumm would be the ultimate! Cilc and Martic could be fun to watch. Also, have SRB come back with either Jelena or Ana, and if they can't get Novak try Viktor, could be a good change.
Anyway I'm getting carried away now.

You might remember that my rat Dumbo was quite an expert at jumping. When she was a few months old, she learned to jump about half a meter, and the gap increased the older she got. It was something I did have to teach her, but initially it had been something she worked out on her own (and with those enormous back feet rats have, it's no surprise they're such expert grasshoppers). You also might remember that she once jumped in a sink full of soapy water, something she no doubt regretted later. It may have soaked her fur, but it didn't dampen her spirits!
Well, now I'm awaiting the moment Slinky the rat does something very similar. Today, when she was sitting on my shoulder, she launched herself a good foot in the air and landed (not very gracefully) on the side of the cage. Of course, being a baby, she nearly fell off, but I caught her just in time and returned her to my shoulder, only for her to offer a repeat performance a few seconds later.
Now that she knows where the treats are, she is utterly obsessed with getting to them and digging around in the box until she finds exactly what she's looking for. The moment said rat treats are between her jaws, she scuttles off to hide behind the cage where I can't get to her. If I try to take it from her, she fights tooth and nail to keep it. It's cute and all, but I don't want any of my rats to start getting chubby. Or chubbier in Mouse's case.
Neither Mouse nor Diddy are the jumping sort. Diddy will do it if she has to, but I don't think Mouse even understands what jumping means. She's never been a fan.

43nd Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
March 15-18, 2012
Rochester, New York – Hyatt Rochester
Host Institution: St. John Fisher College
Keynote speaker: Jennifer Egan, 2011 Pulitzer Prize winner, A Visit from the Goon Squad
The 43rd annual convention will be held March 15-18th in Rochester, New York at the Hyatt Regency Hotel downtown, located minutes away from convenient air, bus, and train transportation options for attendees. St. John Fisher College will serve as the host college, and the diverse array of area institutions are coordinating with conference organizers to sponsor various activities, such as celebrated keynote speakers, local events, and fiction readings.
Building upon the excellence of past NeMLA conferences, the association continues to grow as a vibrant community of scholars, thanks to the wide array of intellectual and cultural opportunities at every venue. Compact yet diverse, Rochester also boasts important historical connections; it is the site of the home, publication operations, and orations of Frederick Douglass, where he edited the North Star, as well as his eponymous periodical, and delivered the speech, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?". Visitors can explore the houses of abolitionist, suffragette, and reformer Susan B. Anthony and the inventor of devices popularizing photography, George Eastman, as well as shopping and eateries; attendees will also be within reach of the beautiful Finger Lakes region, known for its local wineries.
Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA session; however, panelists can only present one paper (panel or seminar). Convention participants may present a paper at a panel and also present at a creative session or participate in a roundtable. http://www.nemla.org/convention/2012/cfp.html

That's The Trouble (1976) DISCO Grace Jones
Portfolio is the debut album by Grace Jones. It was released in 1977 and the first of three albums made with the legendary disco record producer Tom Moulton. It also includes three singles previously issued on label Orfeus in France and Beam Junction in the U.S. in 1975 and 1976, "I Need A Man", "Sorry" and "That's the Trouble".
Side one of the original vinyl album is a continuous disco medley covering three songs from Broadway musicals, "Send In The Clowns" by Stephen Sondheim from 1973's A Little Night Music, "What I Did For Love" from A Chorus Line and "Tomorrow" from Annie. Side two opens with Jones' very personal re-interpretation of Edith Piaf's "La Vie en rose" which remains one of her best known recordings, it was the only song from her disco trilogy Portfolio/Fame/Muse to be performed in her Grammy nominated A One Man Show in 1981/1982. An edited version of the track was released as a single in both 1977, 1983 and 1985 and the album version was also included on the 1985 career retrospective Island Life.
Portfolio reached number #52 on the Black Album Chart in the U.S., while climbing to number #109 on Billboards Album Chart, considerably more successful on the dance chart entering the Top Ten. "I Need a Man" reached the coveted number #1 spot on the U.S. Dance Charts, and the double A-side "That's the Trouble"/"Sorry" reached number #7 on the same chart. "La Vie en rose" went gold in Europe and sold very well, plus climbing to the top of the charts in many European countries such as Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands.
Side A
1. "Send in the Clowns" (Stephen Sondheim) - 7:33
2. "What I Did For Love" (Marvin Hamlisch, E. Kleban) - 5:15
3. "Tomorrow" (Martin Charnin, Charles Strouse) - 5:48
* Non-stop medley: total time - 18:36
[edit] Side B
1. "La Vie en Rose" (Édith Piaf, Louis Gugliemi) - 7:27
2. "Sorry" (Grace Jones, Pierre Papadiamondis) - 3:58

The Des Moines man who gained national attention in the late 1960s and '70s for his wild publicity stunts to aid the fledgling Blank Park Zoo died this week.
Charles "Bob" Elgin passed away Tuesday after he suffered a stroke last month. He was 89.
Elgin was named director of the zoo in its second year in 1967 — when it was the Des Moines Children's Zoo — and was perhaps best known for the venomous snakebites he endured to draw spectators. He was director for 15 years.
People swarmed the zoo after Elgin survived a cobra bite during a snake show. He used two subsequent snakebites and three faked bites to drive attendance if it slowed.
"Whenever the zoo attendance would go down, I'd inject myself with cobra venom, my arm would swell up, word would 'leak' out to the press and people would come out to the zoo," he told the Register in 2006. "It shows how desperate we were."
Zoos were considered unnecessary luxuries by budget-minded city leaders during Elgin's tenure. In 1972, when city officials refused to hire a night security guard for the zoo, Elgin responded by patrolling the zoo's perimeter with a tiger.
"He pulled publicity stunts that would scare the daylights out of me," said Terry Rich, who helmed the zoo from 2003 to 2008. "But he ran the zoo before we had the American Zoo Association. He did a lot of things that we would lose accreditation for, but they were things he felt he had to do to get the zoo going. … Clearly, he was successful."
Elgin was a writer and public relations guy who had no zoo experience before he was hired, but his love for animals turned the job into a to-die-for passion, his wife of 54 years, Jane, said Friday. If there wasn't enough room at the zoo for newborn animals, they'd stay with the Elgins and their five children.
"It became a family thing. All of us were deeply involved," Jane Elgin said. "We raised little lions in our house. We had two or three incubators in the basement, and we'd take (the lion cubs) out and feed them with a bottle."
Bob Elgin's intimate work with the zoo's animals occasionally put him in harm's way: He lost two fingers to a 170-pound chimpanzee named Skipper. A 400-pound ram broke his back. And a lioness mauled him while Elgin was dressed as Santa.
But in 1978, when a mountain lion escaped from its cage, Elgin walked to the animal, put a collar on it and escorted it back to the cage. People should remember Elgin for those happy close encounters, rather than the controversial ones, Jane Elgin said.
"He was an extremely intelligent, compassionate, unusual man who was well-versed in so many areas," she said. "Bob just worked night and day in an attempt to get enough money to improve the zoo. He did everything possible to keep it open."
A public memorial celebration for Elgin is set for 1 p.m. on Sept. 18 at the zoo, 7401 S.W. 9th St.

Mitt Romney is probably on his way to winning a race with himself, for taking a record number of positions on the same issue. This time, it's abortion.
On Tuesday, Romney told the Des Moines Register he had no plans to push for legislation limiting abortion. Romney has been a supporter of abortion rights since 1994.
Until yesterday, Romney has said, "I have been consistently been pro-life."
However, within hours of Romney repeating his previous pro-choice position on Tuesday, campaign spokesperson Andrea Saul said Romney would support anti-abortion legislation.
Romney's flip-flop on abortion is part of a pattern that has emerged during the course of the 2012 presidential campaign, which is heating up.
In recent weeks, Mr. Romney has taken multiple positions on his plan for health insurance and pre-existing conditions, tax cuts, immigration policy, and how he feels about working-class Americans.
In September, Mother Jones released a politically damaging, secretly taped video of Romney telling supporters at a Boca Raton fundraiser, that 47 percent of all Americans were incapable of taking responsibility for their own lives, didn't pay any taxes, and were hopelessly dependent on government handouts for food, housing and health care.
Last week Romney said it was wrong of him to say such things, but stopped short of apologizing for insulting half the population.
Romney has managed to avoid taking any position at all on some issues, including which tax deductions he would eliminate in order to keep his massive tax cut plan from exploding the deficit—thus negating the need to change his mind.
It is not possible for Mr. Romney to believe in abortion and also support right-to-life legislation; only one statement can be true.
Is Mitt Romney incapable of making a decision and sticking to it? Or is he lying when he says he supports or doesn't support a particular issue?
Either way, it is impossible to know what Romney really believes in when his words constantly contradict themselves, or worse, are authentic gibberish.
The Daily Kos said, "In a meeting with the editorial board of the Des Moines Register, he (Romney) was asked whether health insurers should cover birth control. Here's his jaw-dropping answer: "It's a question as to, should you get a car painted, you know, red or blue. I mean you can decide which you'd like. People who want to have contraceptive health insurance can choose that in their policy. Those that don't have—that choose not to can buy a policy with or without. It depends on the kind of policy you buy of course."
Perhaps there are some people who understand what all that really means. And as soon as someone figures it out, Mr. Romney will probably come out against whatever it was that he said.

Romney debate strategy: Lying is OK if it wins votes?
Mixing religion and politics, how far will the GOP go?

A: Bifen will kill the adults but not the eggs of the bed bug. There are better bed bug control products on the market that have better application labels, Temprid SC would be one of them. http://www.epestsolutions.com/temprid-sc-insecticide-400ml.html
Q: How do I use Bifen-i-t-bifenthrin to kill and control flies?
A: Use Bifen to control flies by applying the mixture to the areas that flies tend to rest, walls, fencing, trash receptacles. When they come in contact with the chemical on the surface, it will kill them. It is not a contact insecticide so the fly does not die immediately.

Look at all those damn mooks in the stands.
af Ryan Michalski 13. april 2008
A mook is a printed publication that is considered to be half magazine / half book. It's usually less 'book-like' than a book in that it resembles a magazine, but is a higher quality magazine, i.e. doesn't feature (much) advertising, has nicer paper stock and a thicker, glossier cover.
I can't wait to read that mook.

PARIS -- Japan's Hayabusa asteroid sample-return satellite is scheduled to make the first of two landings on its target asteroid Nov. 12 following ground controllers' conclusion that it has enough fuel to finish its job despite the loss of two of its three reaction wheels, the Japanese space agency, JAXA, announced Oct. 31.
Under current planning, a second touchdown would occur Nov. 25 before Hayabusa, whose name was Muses-C before its May 2003 launch, begins a return flight to Earth. Since Sept. 12, the satellite has been stationed several kilometers from the Itokawa asteroid, which is some 300 million kilometers from Earth.
Hayabusa lost the use of its first reaction wheel in July. The second failed Oct. 3, forcing increased reliance on the chemical-propellant thrusters to maintain satellite attitude control.
JAXA said Hayabusa project engineers have made "a strenuous" effort to devise a fuel-conservation plan to maintain Hayabusa stably in position and at the same time provide for the two "touch-and-go" maneuvers during which the satellite will scoop up asteroid samples.
JAXA will test Hayabusa touchdown maneuvers Nov. 4 with what the agency calls a "rehearsal descent." Several candidate landing sites are still being evaluated, JAXA said.

RabbitsBy Craig Sernotti
Rabbits are some of the most familiar small animals. Not only are they often seen in nature, but they also prominently feature in literature and animation. As pets, they can be playful and affectionate, although some breeds are not; some are territorial and will bite a hand in their cage. Experts tend to agree that rabbits aren't good pets for small children. For one thing, they don't like to be held for extended periods. Also, when restrained too long, a rabbit may bite, kick, or scratch until he is free.
Rabbits are social creatures—two will groom each other and play and rest together. However, if you haven't kept rabbits before, it is best to only keep one. Depending on the breed, a rabbit can weigh 2½ to 16 pounds (1 to 7 kg) and can live from 7 to 10 years.
Natural HistoryRabbits are found throughout the world, from the Arctic to the tropics. At least 49 species are known. Wild rabbits have an interesting array of adaptations. Some molt into a white coat in the fall and into a brown coat in the spring, some are good swimmers, and some can reach speeds of 30 to 35 miles per hour (48 to 56 km/hour) over short distances.
About 3,000 years ago, they were traded for meat and fur. During the Middle Ages, French monks kept them in cages and bred them. Domesticated rabbits became heavier and meatier and were not afraid of humans. They were also selectively bred to develop colors, such as albino, blue, and yellow, that did not occur in the wild.
Enclosures and SetupBecause they are so highly adaptable, some rabbits can live in a cage outdoors. You can also keep rabbits inside, which is actually a better idea. Your pet will be safer, and there's more opportunity for him to interact with you and your family.
Indoor rabbits need a cage that provides maximum floor space. They are not jumpers or climbers, so a tall cage isn't necessary. Rabbit cages have three types of flooring: wire mesh, slat, or solid. Wire floors allow droppings and urine to fall so that the rabbit stays clean. Slat flooring won't irritate your rabbit's feet like wire mesh will, and wastes will also fall through the openings. Solid floor cages are designed for use with a litter box. Wastes will, of course, accumulate with this last floor type.
Bedding and litter must be utilized. You also need to provide a nest box for sleeping and security, two food dishes (one for food, the other for hay), a water bottle, and toys.
DietRabbits are strictly vegetarians and need a high-fiber diet. Dry pellets formulated for rabbits are commonly sold in pet stores. Supplement this food with loose hay, which will provide your pet with the fiber he needs to digest his food properly. Fresh fruits and vegetables, like carrots, celery, apples, pineapple, and many others, are good choices for a rabbit. Do not feed sugary fruits too often because they can make your pet overweight.
GroomingRabbits must be brushed regularly, sometimes once a week. Use a soft-bristle or rubber brush, and don't brush too hard—rabbits have sensitive skin. Gently brush the fur in the direction it grows.
The best time to clip your rabbit's nails is when he is tired, not when he is awake and playful. Using two people is usually best—one to hold the rabbit and one to clip the nails.
Allowing your rabbit to groom himself is better than giving him a bath. Extended exposure to water will cause him stress and he may fall ill. If you must use water to clean your rabbit, do a "spot treatment" and dry the area immediately.
Health and IllnessA dramatic change in your rabbit's behavior is a telltale sign that something is wrong. Other obvious signs include a runny nose, watery eyes, and labored breathing. Diarrhea and constipation are also symptoms. Rabbits like to keep themselves clean, so a dirty, matted coat means something is wrong.
Rabbits can come down with infections and parasites, and they can be injured as well. If you notice something wrong, contact your veterinarian immediately.
A rabbit produces copious waste matter, so you will have to change your pet's bedding and clean his cage regularly. Keeping your rabbit's cage clean will help prevent many health problems.

6 Things I Want To Do Because I'm Having a Mom-Life CrisisCassandra Barry
One of the nice things about having a kid as a mother of "advanced maternal age" (over 35) is that I feel young again. I'm doing all kinds of ridiculous things like playing in sandboxes, making forts and walking around in public carrying stuffed animals. And I don't even care about how ridiculous I look.
On the other hand, not only am I exhausted, but I realize that I'm about to die.
Only a couple of years ago, I felt like I was closer in age to my college days than to retirement. But now I realize that I'm almostcloser to being old than being young. It's freaking me out. And I'm thinking about doing things that never would have occurred to me a few years ago. While my body is still relatively intact and my face is only mildly embedded with shallow lines, I'd like to have some fun while I'm young. (Humor me, here. Let me pretend I'm still somewhat young.)
Here are the 6 things I want to do because I'm having a mom-life crises:
Act like I'm still young 1 of 7When I was child-free, I thought my friends who had kids were so lame for letting their kids run their lives. They rarely went out anymore and when they did, they went home at 10pm. I decided that I was going to be one of those cool moms, you know, the one who takes her kids on adventures and then ditches them with a babysitter so that she can go out to parties and stuff. So I tried that way of life. And it made me tired. The sad truth? Staying out all night isn't quite as exhilarating when you have to be up between 5:30-7:30am every damn day for the next ten years.
Get a tattoo 2 of 7I've always thought that tattoos were immature and foolish. But then I saw a "cool" mom at my son's preschool with a tattoo of her daughter's name on her arm and I thought "I have to get a tattoo of Laszlo's name." The problem with getting a tattoo when I'm almost middle aged, is that I can't help but imagine how it will look when I'm 60 on whichever body part I choose for it. Which rules out the butt. Although, let's face it, getting your son's name tattooed on your butt isn't an option.
Dye my hair pink 3 of 7I saw a story in Elle or some magazine about how to temporarily color your hair with pink pigment powders. I thought this would be an awesomely cool, crazy—but-not-too-crazy thing to do. And then I started to notice that a lot of other moms around my age had the same idea. What is going on with all these old moms with pink hair? LAME. But I might do it anyway! Because I've gone crazy like that!
Get a motorcycle 4 of 7I mean listen, I've always wanted one. In my teens and 20's, I rode on the back of a few motorcycles attached to hot guys and I assumed that one day I'd get my own. "One day" never came. At this point in my life, it's now or never. The irony of motorcycle yearning is that it stems from a feeling that "life is short," which is probably exactly what my life will be if I ride one (and yes, that is exactly what Joel loves to point out every time it comes up.)
Own a gun 5 of 7I've started to think about getting a gun. Part of this was because Joel wasn't taking our home security system seriously enough. Part of it was when I saw a story in the New York Times about these adorable "purse pistols." I got seduced by them. I like the pink one. I've never loved the color pink, but suddenly I want pink hair and a pink gun? WTF is going on with me? Where would I even keep such a thing? Definitely not in my purse! Also, Joel hates the whole idea. Because he's so not fun. And controlling. GOD! Who does he think he is? Someone's dad?
Ignore the obvious 6 of 7I realize that if I did these things, I would seem ridiculous. But part of me doesn't even care if I look like I'm having a mom-life crisis. Just like I don't care how ridiculous I look carrying around stuffed animals. I don't care that I'm just like all the other moms who think they're cool but they're not. I just want to do it. I guess I just want to get back in touch with that non-mom side of me. I want to have a tattoo and pink hair and ride my motorcycle into the woods at night where I shoot at cans. And then go out drinking with a posse of hipsters. Then again, I get pretty tired around 9pm.

The football season is complete and the basketball team is into conference play. So, that means baseball is not too far off.
The U of L baseball team has reported back to campus for the semester and is currently going through individual workouts with the coaches.
The full squad will holds its first practice on Jan. 25.
Louisville has won the Big East Conference title three of the past four years and will open the 2013 season on Feb. 15 against Indiana in the Big East/Big Ten Challenge in Dunedin, Fla.
The Cardinals will play the first of 36 home games on Feb. 20 against Eastern Kentucky University. Big East action begins the weekend of March 22 with the Big East Championship to be played May 22-26 in Clearwater, Fla.
The Cardinals will have plenty of firepower on offense this season but the best all-around hitter could be junior Ty Young.
U of L coach Dan McDonnell said the third baseman has "what we call maybe the best hands," and he hit .344 last season with six home runs and 42 RBIs.
"If you watch Young in a practice or a scout it watching us take batting practice, it's hard not to say that's your best hitter," McDonnell said. "He has the balance and he has quick hands. He grew up an awful lot last year."
Young, a native of Coatesville, Pa., was a third-team All-Big East Conference performer last season. McDonnell said he's playing a little out of position at third base and will likely be a second baseman at the professional level.
"He's really a second baseman and will play that in pro ball," McDonnell said. "But he has the tools to be the best hitter on our team."
McDonnell added that second baseman Nick Ratajczak "is probably the most consistent hitter on the team." He hit .343 last season with an on-base percentage of .463 and played in all 63 games for the Cardinals.
"His swing is so short, he repeats it and is so balanced," McDonnell said. "Ratajczak gets on base a lot and never strikes out."
He only struck out nine times in 245 at-bats last season.
In a recent interview with Cardinal Authority, U of L coach Dan McDonnell talked a lot about what the coaching staff "has been preaching."
McDonnell is entering his seventh season at U of L and he said the staff has been using past success to sell the program.
"It's kind of been our staple," McDonnell said pointing to a paper that had outlined what the coaches have to sell with the program.
In six years, the Cardinals have five NCAA Tournament appearances and four Big East championships. U of L has been the NCAA Regional hosts three times, while advancing to two Super Regionals and one College World Series appearance.
"We just want to keep adding to that," McDonnell said.
McDonnell said several times during the offseason he reminded his players that "what separates the best" players and teams is the offseason.
He said by all indications he was pleased with the way this U of L group went at it in the offseason, especially in the weight room.
"Everybody works hard in the fall and in January," McDonnell said. "But who separates themselves (in December)? I told them, think about it like this. If I let one day pass, this guy is going to pass me.
"Look at (pitcher) Jeffery Thompson. These guys have been chasing him since he showed up. He got here, worked his tail off and seemed to be a little ahead. He's so consistent and such a hard worker and they have been chasing him for two years. Maybe they will catch up to him, but it's not because he's not working."

Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system results from hemosiderin deposition in the subpial layers of the brain and spinal cord. A clinical history of subarachnoid hemorrhage is often absent. Patients present with slowly progressive gait ataxia and sensorineural hearing impairment. A history of prior intradural surgery or trauma is common. With widespread use of magnetic resonance imaging, presymptomatic cases are being diagnosed and it is difficult to be certain about the true incidence of this disorder. Despite extensive investigations, the cause of bleeding is often not apparent. An intraspinal fluid–filled collection is a common accompaniment and may be the likely bleeding source. An early diagnosis and prompt intervention directed at removal of the bleeding source may prevent progression. This review discusses the role of multimodality imaging in evaluation of superficial siderosis and the therapeutic implications of identified associations.
In superficial siderosis of the central nervous system, hemosiderin deposition is seen in those parts of the central nervous system that are adjacent to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). There is a brownish discoloration of the leptomeninges and adjacent parenchyma. The pigmentation has a predilection for the superior vermis, crests of the cerebellar folia, basal frontal lobe, temporal cortex, brainstem, spinal cord, nerve roots, and cranial nerves I and VIII. There is a sharp cutoff in the spinal roots and cranial nerves at the junction between the peripheral Schwann cell and central glial segments. The vulnerability of the eighth cranial nerve may be explained by the greater length of hemosiderin deposition (due to its long glial segment). In vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and autopsy correlation has shown that the hemosiderin deposition around the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord results in the characteristic hypointensity seen on T2-weighted MRI.1
At times, patients have an obvious intracranial source of chronic subarachnoid bleeding. In a 1995 survey of the reported superficial siderosis cases in the literature, an underlying cause was identified in 34 of 63 cases.2 A dural pathology was found in 47% of cases. This included CSF cavity lesions (eg, meningoceles, pseudomeningoceles, pseudoencephaloceles, cavity remaining after a hemispherectomy, and chronic suboccipital hematomas) or root pathology (eg, root avulsions or epidural cysts). Tumors, such as ependymomas, meningiomas, oligodendrogliomas, pineocytomas, and paragangliomas, were seen in 35% of cases, and vascular abnormalities (eg, arteriovenous malformations or aneurysms) were seen in 18%. In a recently reported single-institution series of 30 patients, fluid-filled collections were seen on MRI in 14 patients.3 In 4 of these patients, the collection was fairly localized and suggested the possibility of a meningocele or pseudomeningocele.
A commonly identified risk factor in patients with superficial siderosis is a prior history of trauma. Brachial plexus injury with associated nerve root avulsion is a commonly reported association3- 8; brachial plexus injury may be associated with injury of nerve root sleeves, and this may lead to the formation of a pseudomeningocele.
A history of intradural cranial surgery as a risk factor for later development of superficial siderosis is being increasingly recognized.1,3,9,10 Spinal surgical procedures may be complicated by a dural tear with subsequent development of a pseudomeningocele and superficial siderosis.11 Surgical procedures may provide CSF access to a bleeding source within the brain. The cavity left after a surgical procedure is the likely source of bleeding.1 The dura of the cavity following a hemispherectomy may have multiple bleeding points that have direct access to the ventricular system. Telangiectasia and cavernous angiomas may be found in the brain and spinal cord after radiotherapy.
The ability of the brain to biosynthesize ferritin in response to prolonged contact with hemoglobin iron is important in the pathogenesis of superficial siderosis.12 Accelerated ferritin synthesis in the Bergmann glia of the cerebellum may account for the preferential cerebellar involvement.12 Ferritin synthesis is thought to be neuroprotective by binding iron released by red cells. Tissue damage occurs when this reserve is exhausted. It has been suggested that the excess intrathecal iron may overload the ferritin biosynthesis capacity of the microglial cells; subsequent free radical damage and lipid peroxidation may cause neuronal injury.
Even in the absence of an inciting event, years of chronic bleeding can precede clinical manifestations. Patients often present after they are 40 years old.2,3 The most common clinical presentation is slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia, which is often associated with hearing impairment.2,3 Sensorineural hearing loss (at times with vestibular failure) may be the first symptom, which may be accompanied by tinnitus.5,13 Cerebellar dysarthria is common and nystagmus may be present.9 A myelopathic presentation is also recognized. Pyramidal and sensory signs, and bladder dysfunction are common and may relate to brainstem or spinal cord involvement. Sensory symptoms or a sensory level are rarely present.8 Anosmia or hyposmia are common but underreported, and olfaction is rarely tested.9 Extraocular nerve palsies are uncommon but have been reported.2 Also reported are optic9 and trigeminal neuropathy.14 A distinct pattern of cognitive and social impairment in superficial siderosis has been recognized.15 Affected areas include speech production, executive functions, and visual recall memory. Clinical or electrophysiologic evidence of lower motor neuron involvement is rare but has been described and may be caused by radiculopathy.13 Severe headache indicative of symptomatic subarachnoid hemorrhage was noted in approximately one third of cases in an earlier literature review2 but was relatively infrequent in a recent large series.3
Magnetic resonance imaging is the investigation modality of choice, though (particularly in the early stages) the findings are subtle and a high index of suspicion is necessary to permit an early diagnosis.1- 3,8,14,16- 18 The hypointensity follows the contours of the brain and spinal cord and may be easily missed (Figure 1). Imaging of the entire neuraxis is indicated to localize a potential bleeding source. The bleeding source may be not be detected despite MRI of the brain and spine, computed tomography (CT) myelography, magnetic resonance angiography, and cerebral and spinal angiography. Radio-labeled red blood cell scanning with technetium has been employed but has not been found to be useful.4,5,8
Typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in superficial siderosis. Axial T2-weighted brain MRI showing hemosiderin deposition (arrows) along the cerebellar folia (A) and vermis (B), around the midbrain (C), pons (D), and medulla (E), and along the cerebral convexity (F), sylvian fissure (G), and interhemispheric fissure (H). Also shown are sagittal T2- (I) and sagittal T1-weighted (J) images with hemosiderin deposition around the spinal cord (arrows). J, Note associated severe cord atrophy. K, Severe cerebellar atrophy (arrow) on a sagittal T1-weighted brain MRI. L, Hemosiderin deposition (arrows) around the atrophic cord on an axial T2-weighted MRI. M, Axial T2-weighted MRI at the level of the cauda equina showing peripheralization of the nerve roots due to arachnoiditis (arrow).
Gradient-echo T2-weighted images have higher sensitivity for hemosiderin deposition (Figure 2A and B). The magnetic susceptibility effects of blood degradation products, such as ferritin and hemosiderin, are also more pronounced at high-field strength. Abnormal MRI results may be present in the absence of secondary symptoms of superficial siderosis.16
Additional imaging findings in superficial siderosis. Axial T2-weighted (A) and gradient-echo (B) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in demonstrating superiority of the gradient-echo technique in detecting the characteristic T2 hypointensity along the sylvian fissure (arrows). C, Sagittal T2-weighted spinal MRI illustrating the prominent vascularity on the ventral aspect of the cervical cord (arrows). Subsequently performed angiography did not show evidence of a vascular malformation. D (arrow), Intramedullary hyperintensity due to myelomalacia secondary to prior trauma seen on a T2-weighted sagittal cervical spinal MRI. T2-weighed (E) and T1-weighted (F) sagittal MRI of the lumbosacral area showing a lesion (arrows) that was suspected to be a possible source of the chronic bleeding. A biopsy detected blood products and fibrous tissue. G, T2-weighted sagittal cervical spinal MRI showing evidence of a prior odontoid fracture (arrow). H, Axial computed tomography at the midbrain level showing a surrounding rim of hyperintensity due to hemosiderin deposition (arrows).
Gradient-echo T2-weighted MRI shows a rim of hypointensity around the cerebellum (Figure 1A and B) and brainstem (Figure 1C-E). The marginal T2 hypointensity is due to hemosiderin deposition and may also involve the cortical sulci (Figure 1F), sylvian fissure (Figure 1G), and interhemispheric fissure (Figure 1H). The superior vermis, quadrigeminal plate, and basal cerebral surface are preferentially involved by the T2 hypointensity. Hemosiderin deposition may also be seen along cranial nerve VIII. Cerebellar atrophy is often present and the superior vermis and anterior cerebellar hemispheres may be preferentially involved by the atrophy (Figure 1K). Gliosis may result in a high signal from the adjacent cerebellar tissue.14 Alternatively, it may be only an apparent increase due to the overlying hypointensity. A hyperintense rim is rarely seen.12 This may be due to methemoglobin and represents a recent episode of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Hydrocephalus has generally been seen in association with a history of hemispherectomy.2
Hemosiderin deposition is commonly seen around the spinal cord (Figure 1I, J, and L). There may be clumping (CT myelogram on Figure 3C) or peripheralization (Figure 1M) of the nerve roots due to arachnoiditis. Spinal cord atrophy is common (Figure 1J). Blood accumulation with reactive changes in the cul-de-sac may give the mistaken impression of a tumor (Figure 2E and F).3 Prominent vessels may be seen on the surface of the spinal cord in the absence of a vascular malformation (Figure 2C). It has been suggested that pial siderosis may result in sclerosis of the veins, with venous hypertension and prominent vasculature.17 An interruption in the circumferential hypointensity may indicate root avulsion and is possibly caused by absence of the pia mater at the avulsion site (Figure 3B).
Imaging findings that may provide etiological clues in superficial siderosis. A, Axial cut of a cervical spine computed tomography (CT) myelogram showing avulsed C2 nerve roots (arrows), directed in an anterior-posterior direction (seen as linear streaks with surrounding contrast). B, Axial T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showing interruption of the rim of hypointensity around the spinal cord at the site of root avulsion (arrow) likely due to the absence of the spinal cord pia mater at the site of root avulsion. C, Axial cut at the lumbar levels on a CT myelogram showing clumping of nerve roots of the cauda due to arachnoiditis (arrow). D, Fluid-filled intraspinal collection (arrows) anterior to the spinal cord on an axial cut of a thoracic spinal CT myelogram. There was a transdural leak between C7 and T6. A dynamic CT myelogram can localize the exact site of the defect and help direct the laminectomy site. E, C7 to T1 pseudomeningocele due to root avulsion (arrows) seen on a cervical myelogram.
Indirect clues explaining the cause of superficial siderosis may include a neoplasm, vascular malformation, or fluid-filled cavity of variable dimension and may be visible on MRI (Figure 4).3,17,18 Magnetic resonance imaging may also show T2 hyperintensity due to myelomalacia (Figure 2D) or encephalomalacia secondary to prior injury. There may also be evidence of prior bony injury (Figure 2G). Enhancement of the pial surface of the cord is rarely seen.
Intraspinal fluid–filled collection in superficial siderosis (including effect of surgical correction in a case). T2-weighted spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with axial cuts showing a left T12 (A, arrow) and right C7 (B, arrow) pseudomeningocele. C and D, T2-weighted spinal MRI showing an intrasacral meningocele (C, arrow) and cervical pseudomeningocele (D, arrow). E, Axial T2-weighted spinal MRI showing hemosiderin deposition around the spinal cord (arrow) and a fluid-filled collection anterior to the spinal cord (arrow). Preoperative (F) and postoperative (G) T2-weighted sagittal MRI sequences showing reduction in the size of the anteriorly located fluid-filled cavity after repair of a dural defect at T11. The exact site of the dural defect was localized in a dynamic computed tomography myelogram.
Though head CT results are generally unremarkable, cerebellar atrophy or a clue to the potential cause of superficial siderosis may be evident. Evidence of bony injury due to prior trauma, if present, may be better seen on CT than MRI. Rarely, a rim of hyperdensity may be seen around the brainstem on CT (Figure 2H).14
Dural diverticula, pseudomeningoceles, and associated dural defects are best characterized on myelography and CT myelography (Figure 3D and E). Computed tomography myelography may show these even when MRI may not.3 At times, a transdural leak may be seen on the CT myelogram.3 The rim of hypointensity around the cord may be interrupted at the site of root avulsion (Figure 3A).8 The exact site of dural defect in longitudinally extensive intraspinal collections may be accurately localized by dynamic CT myelography.3,18 This technique was first introduced for localizing high-flow CSF leaks.19
Cerebral and spinal angiography are often undertaken but are generally unrewarding, possibly because of the slow and often intermittent nature of the bleeding. Small slow-flow pial arteriovenous malformations may be detected only by angiography.
Cerebrospinal fluid analysis may show xanthochromia and an increased number of red blood cells. It is possible that the red cell count will be significantly higher if the CSF is taken from the cavity responsible for the bleeding, such as a pseudomeningocele or hemispherectomy cavity. A slight elevation in the white blood cell count may be present. Cerebrospinal fluid protein may be elevated, and significant elevation may be accompanied by discoloration due to hemorrhage that may mimic the xanthochromia seen. Protein elevation may be caused by arachnoiditis. Other reported CSF findings in superficial siderosis include the presence of erythrophages, siderophages, and elevated iron and ferritin levels.2 Because of the intermittent nature of the bleeding, these findings may be absent.
The surgical treatment of superficial siderosis depends on early identification of the bleeding source. Excision of the offending neoplasm, vascular malformation, or pseudomeningocele and repair of dural defects is a logical therapeutic strategy.
Exploration and repair of a pseudomeningocele or a meningeal diverticulum caused by root avulsion has been done in some cases.3- 5,7,8,13,20 Exploration of dural pseudomeningoceles may reveal clotted blood within the pseudomeningocele,7 chronic ooze of blood from a defect in the pseudomeningocele,7 or hyperemic scar tissue with friable vessels.8,13 Spider angioma in an arachnoid scar has been described in a patient with root avulsion.20 Cauterization of abnormal vessels in the pseudomeningocele may be undertaken.3- 5,7,8,13,20 With a longitudinally extensive intraspinal fluid–filled collection, the focus of therapy is localization and repair of the dural defect.3,17,18 Repair of pseudomeningoceles or longitudinally extensive collections often required a piece of muscle.3,7,8,17,18,20 Gel foam and fibrin glue have also been employed.20 Postoperative follow-up has often been associated with a lack of further progression3- 5,7,8,13,18 and, in an isolated case, some improvement.3 A repeat CSF study completed months after the surgical procedure may show resolution or decrease of the xanthochromia and CSF red blood cells. In some of these cases, absence of red blood cells on CSF examination after the surgical procedure has been documented.3,4,7,8,17,18,20 Patients who have had surgical intervention for superficial siderosis have had brief reported follow-up duration, as compared with the natural history of the disorder. Given the slowly progressive nature of the disorder, a long follow-up is required to be certain about halting progression by surgical intervention.
Magnetic resonance imaging in superficial siderosis shows the characteristic marginal T2 hypointensity around the brainstem, cerebellum, and spinal cord, and may also provide a clue to its possible cause. Fluid-filled collections of variable dimensions are often seen on spinal MRI or CT myelography in patients with or without a prior history of injury or a surgical procedure. Angiography is generally unrewarding. With a longitudinally extensive collection, a dynamic CT myelography may help localize the defect and direct physicians to the site of laminectomy. Despite these investigations, a cause for the bleeding may not be evident. Cerebrospinal fluid examination commonly shows the presence of red blood cells or xanthochromia. An accurate diagnosis can spare the patient an expensive search for the many other causes of ataxia. An early diagnosis and prompt intervention are necessary to prevent severe deficits. Surgical correction of the cause of bleeding is a logical therapeutic strategy and holds hope for arresting disease progression. Postsurgical CSF examination and neuroimaging should be done. Longer follow-up in patients who have undergone a surgical procedure is required to confirm that elimination of the source of bleeding halts clinical progression. Owing to widespread use of MRI, superficial siderosis is being increasingly recognized. The diagnosis may be made even in the absence of symptoms.

Say the word "evolution"and some folks think of dusty archaeologists examining bone fragments.
However, while evidence of previous life forms does play a central part in our understanding of evolution, it isn't necessary to go on a dig to see it in action; you might just look inside your mouth.
We all learn in our younger years that human beings have thirty-two teeth. They aren't all the same, though. The pointy incisors in the front are easily distinguished from the flatter, double-edged bicuspids that run along the side. Different looking teeth also serve different functions. Those incisors are great for biting and holding on, while the bicuspids do more of a saw-motion for chewing.
Now here's something you may not know. Strictly speaking, it isn't true that everyone has thirty-two teeth. Even excluding people with dental problems, some folks have only thirty, or even twenty-eight. The ones that are missing are often the farthest back in the mouth. Where did they go?
One likely answer is found in evolution. Ten thousand years ago human beings ate much more raw meat. With a rough diet, you need lots of grinding teeth to help prepare your food for digestion. Later, with the gradual advent of cooked foods, not all those teeth were needed anymore. If someone is born without them, she or he doesn't suffer any ill consequence; a scientist would say there's no evolutionary pressure to keep those teeth.
The result? Many thousand years later, some of us don't have as many grinding teeth as others. The dimensions of the human mouth, the jaw, and the skull are evolving, right underneath your nose.

Cabin 602
Our First Holland America Cruise cameo_girl
We had a large OV room on deck 5. Our room felt spacious with plenty of storage. Our room was quiet. Tub wall was very tall & hard to get into - prefer a walk-in shower with a door. It was confusing to have room 602 and be on the 5th floor. The first few days I was pushing the # 6 button on the elevators.

It's now official: MTV's first newlyweds have met America's first family.
"Jessica Simpson's here with us, which means we finally introduced reality TV to (Ford's) theatre," President George W. Bush told the audience Sunday night at Washington's annual Ford Theater gala, PEOPLE reports.
"An American Celebration at Ford's Theatre," hosted by "Frasier" star Kelsey Grammer, is scheduled to air July 4th weekend on ABC.
Simpson, 23, sang two songs from her current hit album ("In This Skin"): "Take My Breath Away" and "Angel." She also acknowledged that she's waited "a very long time" for her current success on the album charts.
"Life right now is almost too good to be true," she gushed to PEOPLE. "It's kind of dreamland right now. But I'm taking the time to enjoy every moment of it, because I know that it can not be here tomorrow."
She went on to say, "I have a great family and great fans who've rooted me on to where I'm at and everyone's experiencing it with me."
For her historic preservation efforts, First Lady Laura Bush was honored at Sunday's gala, along with six Medal of Honor winners recognized for their heroism on the battlefield.
"I wanted to be here tonight to support the President and all the men and women in uniform," said Simpson, who also sang at Bush's inauguration in 2001.
Other performers Sunday included Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child, Patti LaBelle, Gary Sinise, David Spade and country favorites Brad Paisley and the band Rascal Flatts.
Prior to the gala, the Bushes hosted a White House reception, which Simpson attended her husband and MTV costar, Nick Lachey, and her parents. "It was actually my third time being there," Lachey, 30, told PEOPLE. "It's always very cool to go though. It never gets old."
It better not, especially given the political aspirations Lachey has expressed. As such, Simpson may even end up First Lady -- of Cincinnati that is, since Lachey is thinking of running for mayor of the city.
The idea struck him, he tells PEOPLE, after "seeing some of the struggles that the city was going through and wanting to be able to make a difference in that city. It does interest me. Politics interests me. ... I think it would be something that would be much further down the line. But it would be an interesting role to play."

This probably sounds rather silly or strange but I am EBF and my boobs seem to be gigantic! I normally wear a 34 C and right now I am in a 36 E. Most of my normal shirts don't fit and I tried on my swimsuit top the other day and it didn't even come close to covering what was needed to be covered, LOL! So I have about 10lbs of baby weight left to go and I am wondering how much of that might be in my boobs. Any ideas! I love breastfeeding and plan to keep at it until she is at least 6 months maybe a year, we will see. But I have to say when I stop breastfeeding I hope to get my normal boobs back or at least close to it!

Leading up to this month's draft, Purple Jesus Diaries will take time analyzing potential draft targets for the Minnesota Vikings. With our cutting edge video technology, long hours spent scouting literally DOZENS of college players from our couch, and insight from Vikings meathead CapitalJsCorner, we're give you details you never even dreamed of from prospects that could help the Vikings in 2013. Based on the team needs established in our offensive and defensive team reviews, we present to you the 2013 Who Ya Gonna Draft? feature …
Cordarrelle Patterson, WR from Tennessee, has the hardest name to spell in the draft that I've seen so far. THAT IS A FACT. Until you get to Oday Aboushi. Are we really naming our kids these names? OK. Anyway, Patterson (That's way easier) is a top ranked wide receiver coming into this draft, having finished with 46 receptions, 778 yards receiving, and 5 touchdowns for a Volunteers team that was SUPER awful. Seriously. If you have any Tennessee fan trying to tell you else wise, they suck balls. 2012 was also Cordarrelle's only season at the FCS level, playing as a Junior having transferred from a JUCO college. He played JUCO ball somewhere in Kansas, and then decided that moving to Tennessee was an upgrade. Sucks to be you, Kansas. Patterson has arousing size at 6'2", 216 pounds, and had a top vertical leap at the NFL combine with 37 inches. 37 inches?! That's how long my pe ….
Capital Js Take:
Patterson is probably the best mix of size, speed, and athleticism in the draft. Like Tavon Austin, Patterson can return kicks and give you some yardage on reverses, handoffs, etc, but Patterson also has the size to play outside in the NFL, so he wouldn't be limited to the slot position. The biggest question mark on Patterson is his route running and knowledge of the game. He played JUCO ball for 2 years before taking the field for the Tennessee Volunteers last season and is still a pretty raw prospect. His stats for the Vols weren't mindblowing, but he has loads of potential.
NFL.com Notes:
So what do the "experts" over at NFL.com not named Shawn Zobel have to say about Patterson? THE GOOD!
|Easily separates on vertical routes when given a free release. Very few wasted steps on cuts. Very smooth in his breaks. Finds soft areas in zone coverage between corners and safeties. Looks to turn upfield immediately after the catch. Very good with slants, quick head fake out allows for inside release, strong step forward, body catches to prevent pass breakup while shielding corner. Flashes swiping inside arm bar away on back shoulder throws to allow for free turn. Frequently hauls in the difficult catches, especially when the defensive back is draped on him. Not afraid to hand fight all the way along the sideline on vertical routes to create a sliver of separation. Understands hot read recognition when the corner blitzes. Builds speed quickly after the catch, almost gliding when in stride. Good vision with the ball in his hands, cuts upfield when he sees a lane. Used occasionally at running back, has the speed and wiggle to beat defenders to the edge while utilizing hesitations moves. Very nimble on his feet, especially for size. Makes plays out of nothing when carrying the ball. Numerous natural qualities to his game.
|Consistently a body catcher, even when it is not necessary. Was not frequently asked to go up and get the football at its highest point. Large number of his snaps start while off the line of scrimmage, allows for a better release. Doesn't use his hands enough against a jam, tries to dip or side step rather than slap or push. Tends to throttle down in his breaks. Burst after the catch or return is only adequate but does accelerate quickly. Tries to do too much when the ball is in his hands at times. Dropped a few very catchable balls, including easy bucket throw over shoulder. Inconsistent blocking effort.
"Consistently a body catcher." Ladies, in most countries, that's considered a good thing. But it's NOT a good thing to "accelerate quickly" if you catch my meaning. Are we still talking about football? Of course not.
Well, I don't think we'd be dealing with Troy Williamson here, so Patterson has potential to be a Vikings. Really, he has a lot of what we're looking for at WR right now; size, willingness to fight, speed up top. These are all things that would COMPLIMENT our offensive focus, which is namely the running game. While we have Peterson around town, we wouldn't require Cordarrelle to win us games, just to do his job in one-on-one coverage. And then catch the passes in the red zone when Ponder doesn't know what he's doing and forget he has a Transformer standing around in Kyle Rudolph. Whatever. More options the better, and Patterson sounds like he'd be right in the range for when the Vikings draft, assuming they don't take their two first round picks and move up (which they shouldn't), because that'd be dumb of them to do with so many needs.
So? What do you think? Is Cordarrelle a good fit?

Home » Smartphone Applications Advice
Over the last 12 months smart phones and tablet computers have grown enormously. An important aspect of this computing phenomenon have been the advent of 'Apps' (Applications). One genre of 'apps' are those that have been designed to provide access to host sites (typically utilities and financial institutions) providing convenient access to administer accounts. These applications generally require the input of identifying information such as account numbers and pin numbers. We expect this area of the market to continue to grow rapidly with new players both as developers and vendors of applications.
Roam advises that it has not released any applications to date nor have we worked with any developers in this area. Roam advises that customers should exercise caution before submitting personal details to an unauthorised third party through any 'Apps' including credit card details.

NIAGARA FALLS – A 51-year-old man said he left his car parked in the 1400 block of Ferry Avenue after it broke down and returned to find it had been burglarized and vandalized.
The victim told police Monday that his wife left the car parked on the street a few days ago because it was not running. He said he tried to get the car running at 11 p.m. Sunday, but left the scene when some young men threatened to shoot him.
He returned on Monday morning and found all four of the car's tires had been slashed and the stereo system had been ripped out of the dashboard. Damage and loss were listed at $1,800.

The selected fan can win the prize by throwing a football through a hole 24 inches in diameter from 15 yards away. The fan can throw as many footballs as possible in 30 seconds.
For a chance to be selected, fans can sign up at the customer relations booth at Cal Farley Coliseum, where the Venom play the Abilene Ruff Riders at 7:05 p.m. Saturday.
