The summary below is from the full report titled "The Pathogenesis of Venous Thromboembolism: Evidence for Multiple Interrelated Causes." It is in the 5 December 2006 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 145, pages 807-815). The authors are J.-L.P. Brouwer, N.J.G.M. Veeger, H.C. Kluin-Nelemans, and J. van der Meer.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is blood clots in leg veins that break off, travel through the blood, and block lung arteries. Risk factors can be internal or external. The main internal risk factors are inherited clotting disorders; external risk factors include surgery, trauma, pregnancy, and use of birth control pills. It is thought that inherited clotting disorders and external risk factors must both be present for VTE to develop in most cases.
To better understand to what degree inherited clotting disorders and external risk factors contribute to a person's risk for VTE.
468 people who were related to a person who had VTE with a clotting disorder and who had a clotting disorder themselves.
The researchers tested participants for 10 clotting disorders in addition to the one they were already known to have. They evaluated participants for the occurrence of VTE. They then compared the risk for VTE by the number of clotting disorders and by exposure to external risk factors.
Risk for VTE increased with the number of clotting disorders and with exposure to external risk factors. It was more common in participants with 1 or more clotting disorders and an external risk factor than in participants with either factor alone.
Not all participants were tested for all clotting disorders. Also, there were too few occurrences of VTE for the researchers to be able to measure VTE risk associated with specific disorders.
The risk for VTE increases with the number of clotting disorders and with exposure to external risk factors. The study confirms that a combination of clotting disorders and external risk factors increases risk more than either factor alone.

We've had games about wizards and we've had games about balls before so now let's have a game about a wizard with only one ball. The other was in the Albert Hall.
Sorry, old habits die hard. It reminds me of scrubbing up with the rugby team (well, where else do you think I met Gwyn?). Anyhow, this is a hybrid of genius bouncerius and genius shoot 'em upius, sub-species additional weaponius. Which means lots to kill and bonuses to be gained but nasty controls to master.
It seems that the wizard Wiz, is trying to save his home planet, Wizworld (obviously he loves its novel name). The menace is Zark who is robbing the world of its colours... which sounds the best excuse for the Spectrum's dodgy attributes I've heard in a long while.
According to the inlay, Zark has an army of horrible sprites, though they looked pretty good to me as I blasted away. Far better than the Wizard's Wizball, in fact, which resembles nothing more than a nauseous smiley badge.
The only way to save the planet is to shoot red, green and blue colour bubbles and release droplets of pigment, which you can catch with your pussy (you knew wizards had cats, didn't you). Wiz's is a catelite, a sort of feline satellite which resembles a junior wizball rather than the furry little thing you'd all love to stroke.
You collect colours from three levels at a time, moving between them by a series of tunnels. The drops top up your paint pots until you've collected enough to redecorate the landscape, after which everything reverts to its technicoloured hues and you can proceed to a bonus screen where Wiz can earn a Wiz-perk in the Wiz-lab (such staggering imagination!).
The problem is that you don't start off with a catelite. In fact you don't start off with anything more than a weapon and an irritating habit of bouncing whichever way you're spinning. Somehow you have to shoot an alien or two to produce a green pearl to collect it.
You've heard of pearls of wisdom, right? Well, these are pearls of purchase and they let you stock up on useful attributes such as steering power, extra shooting power, smart bombs, and yes, of course, your catelite. Once you start to get equipped the game becomes much easier.
My major complaint is that at the start it's infernally difficult. Quite often you don't stand a chance and lose a life almost immediately as you're unable to negotiate a floating alien. You could also drop down a tunnel, which results in a hostile reception requiring all your manoeuvring skills.
Wizball's an odd game, which can be extremely addictive if you're willing to carry on regardless of all the unfair early deaths. But if you're not quite so obsessive, you may just whizz off for something else!

Capital One Ending Costco Savings Account
|Email Print
A little over two years ago, I saw that Costco and Capital One had a partnership in which you could earn a reasonably good interest rate on a high yield savings account. The kicker was that you'd get bonus for opening an account plus a 10% quarterly bonus on the interest you earned, which made it competitive.
Then Capital One bought ING Direct and I figured it was only a matter of time before Capital One's Direct Banking (their name for their online banking services) would be merged with ING Direct. It turns out that would take about one year because I received the following email this morning:
We are sending this message to inform you that, due to Capital One®'s recent acquisition of ING DIRECT USA, Costco and Capital One have mutually agreed to end our seven-year partnership bringing you savings accounts and CDs.
Costco and Capital One are fully committed to minimizing changes to your banking experience. Specifically, you will:
• Continue to have secure access to your account through the Capital One website.
• Keep the same account number(s), login(s), and password(s).
• Have access to the same award-winning customer service via the Capital One call center.
As a savings customer, you will continue to receive the preferred Costco rates on your account until December 31, 2012. After this date, your account will automatically become a standard Capital One account and earn the standard Capital One rate.
Capital One customer service representatives are here to help, so please feel free to call 1-888-810-4013 if you have any questions at all.
Thank you very much for using Capital One for your banking needs.
Mark Elliot
Capital One Bank®
Paul Latham
Costco Wholesale
It's unclear what the "standard Capital One account" means but if it's their "Smart Savings Account" then I can expect to earn 0.60% APY, rather than 0.75% (plus 10% quarterly) the account currently earns.
I'm not sure what I'll do but by the end of the year I'll certainly have closed my Capital One account. The rates at other banks aren't high enough to entice me to move our funds there but this change is enough to overcome inertia.{ 9 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

It is said that repetition without growth or change is the very definition of stupidity. Conversely, intelligence is marked by progress through adaptability. It is not change for the sake of change but rather evolution as the environment demands it, keeping all the worthwhile traits and improving upon those that have been found lacking. Change often doesn't come easy but it is inevitable, especially in the world of computer hardware where things move at a very rapid pace. Those that cannot adapt with the trend are, unfortunately, very quickly forgotten.
Enthusiasts often overlook the efforts poured into creating a top of the line motherboard. Most manufacturers would simply throw in all the latest features, add a software bundle and package it in a flashy looking box with an even flashier sounding name. For most people, this is satisfactory. If you are a manufacturer, however, who takes a more pragmatic approach to product development, like GIGABYTE, each product must meet the demands of all users, from basic system builders, to gamers, all the way up to enthusiast overclockers, separated only by price segments and affordability. What happens when GIGABYTE designs their flagship motherboard based on the latest Intel P67 chipset? What new features are they adding and what old features are they keeping?
The GIGABYTE P67A-UD7 sports a new black and gold color theme. The GIGABYTE P67A-UD7 is not just new in terms of looks, but also sports all the latest innovations from GIGABYTE's laboratories, including 24-phase power design, Driver MOSFETs and Dynamic Energy Saver 2 technology. The GIGABYTE P67A-UD7 motherboard not only adds USB 3.0 and SATA 3 6Gbps functionality; it is also improved upon with On/Off Charge technology, HDD performance boost via Turbo XHD and 3x USB Power Boost. Supporting 3-way SLI or CrossFireX, the GIGABYTE P67A-UD7 has multi-graphic card support beyond what Intel designed the P67 platform to be.

Crime and Expected Punishment: Changes in Perceptions at the Age of Criminal Majority
Randi Hjalmarsson
University of Maryland - School of Public Policy
Spring 2009
American Law and Economics Review, Vol. 11, Issue 1, pp. 209-248, 2009
This paper assesses whether perceived punishment severity changes discontinuously when an individual becomes an adult in the eyes of the courts. I find that the perceived chance of jail increases by 5.2 percentage points at the age of criminal majority, which is over and above the general effect of aging. The magnitude of this subjective change in the chance of jail at the age of majority appears to be substantially smaller than that found in objective data. Finally, a reduced-form analysis of whether self-reported criminal behavior changes discontinuously at the age of criminal majority finds little consistent evidence of deterrence.

American Airlines launches charter service from Los Angeles to Cuba
American Airlines over the weekend flew its first charter flight from Los Angeles to Havana, Cuba, as it hopes to expand flying even further to that island nation.
U.S. and Cuban government officials have been talking for months about allowing regularly scheduled passenger flights between the two countries. If that happens, American has said it wants to start flying right away.
Howard Kass, American's vice president for regulatory affairs, last month told the Miami Herald that he's "personally optimistic" the airline will start scheduled service to Cuba in the first half of 2016.
Now, most travel to Cuba is not allowed. Last year, however, President Barack Obama eased travel restrictions, letting Americans in 12 categories, such as humanitarian projects and research, visit that country.
American has been flying to Cuba from the United States since 1991 via charter flights on Boeing 737 jets. Its latest once-a-week flight departed Saturday from Los Angeles International Airport.
The airline flies 23 charter flights a week to the island from Los Angeles, Miami and Tampa, Fla. It flies to five destinations in Cuba: Camagüey, Cienfuegos, Havana, Holguin and Santa Clara.
Fort Worth-based American said this year it will operate roughly 1,200 charter flights to Cuba — more than any other airline. Cuba Travel Services Inc. sells American's charter flights to Cuba.

Mike Sneesby is announced as the new Chief Executive, Cudo. Launched on September 1, 2010, Cudo is the online group buying company that sits within the joint venture between Microsoft and Nine Entertainment Co (NEC).
As Cudo enters its full second year of trading, Mike will be responsible for growing the foundation business and developing the company's expansion plans. He will commence in the role on 1 February 2012.
Cudo is a local Australian success story, being one of the county's fastest going companies. Cudo has sold well over one million vouchers since launch and has been an essential growth partner for over 3,000 small businesses. Over one million Australians receive daily offers from Cudo, saving many millions of dollars in the process.
Billy Tucker, the outgoing Cudo Founder and CEO, in his decision to leave says; "This feels like the right time to leave Cudo. In a relatively short space of time we have built an exceptional team who have turned Cudo into a household name."
"Mike is perfect for the next phase of growth at Cudo, I'm delighted that he has agreed to come back to Australia for the role and I know the business is in very safe hands."
Mike was previously the Vice President of IPTV and Technology at Intigral, where he was responsible for leading the company's IPTV business unit as well as heading operations and technology functions across the organisation (IPTV, Mobile and Web). Intigral is the digital media joint venture between Saudi Telecom, Astro Malaysia and the Saudi Research Marketing Group.
Mike is yet another returning 'ninemsner', as prior to joining Intigral, Mike headed Corporate Strategy and Business Development for ninemsn. In this role, Mike set up and developed high growth digital media businesses, including establishing "MSN New Zealand" and building it to become an award winning market leader in digital publishing. Prior to that, Mike was at Singtel-Optus where he led the migration of the company's national broadband network.
Announcing the appointment Mark Britt, Group CEO of ninemsn says, "Mike is an exceptional executive with significant experience both in Australia and internationally. Having worked with Mike, I know how strong his leadership skills are and he has a history of delivering growth and innovation in digital media businesses."
"Mike is joining Cudo following its amazing start-up year. Cudo could not have launched and delivered such outstanding results without Billy at the helm. It is testament to Billy's hard-work, vision and sheer determination that Cudo has developed into one of the leading group buying companies in Australia," says Britt.
"Cudo is now an important pillar in our group's data and advertising strategy moving forward."
David Coleman, Director of Strategy and Digital, Nine Entertainment Co, said: "Cudo has become a significant digital business in a very short space of time, and we are looking forward to its further growth in the new year. The success of the company to date is a reflection of the great work of Billy Tucker in building the business from scratch."
Mike said his new role as CEO of Cudo is both a challenge and a great opportunity, "I could not think of a more exciting time to come back into the Australian media industry. Cudo delivers a great service for consumers and advertisers and I look forward to exploring new avenues to take the business. We are coming off a very strong base with great momentum and we have the team in place to continue to evolve and innovate our offering."

An auditorium full of more than 1,000 middle school students and their teachers took a "trip to Mars" and heard from an dynamic Air Force pilot on day four - Engineering and Science Exploration Day - of Hispanic Engineering, Science and Technology (HESTEC) Week at The University of Texas-Pan American.
Sheri Klug, director of the Arizona State University (ASU) Mars Education Program, which is housed within the Mars Space Flight Facility in the Department of Geological Sciences, manned the stage alongside a number of Rio Grande Valley students to help her answer questions.
Klug took students on a journey to Mars thanks to a multimedia presentation employing computer animation of the Mars Rover landing, photos of the planet and other state of the art elements that brought the sights and sounds of Mars exploration to life.
"I remember the first landing on the moon when growing up and that was a big deal. In your lifetime we hope to see the first footprint on the first planet (Mars). I want to take you not 250,000 miles from earth but 50 million miles away. It will be the biggest thing humanity has ever tried to do and you can be a part of it," she said.
Klug, a certified teacher with K-12 science teaching experience, is also the formal education lead for the Mars Public Engagement Team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. and the education and public outreach representative on the Solar System Exploration Subcommittee for NASA headquarters.
In her presentation, Klug pointed out many of the dramatic differences between Mars and Earth as well as similarities. She also showed the audience her "Mars watch" that Rover mission members wore to live on Mars time, which is 37 minutes longer than the 24 hour day on Earth. She also interactively discussed the differences in traveling to Mars rather than the moon.
"Traveling to the moon is a three-day trip but traveling to Mars is a three-year trip. How many of your parents would let you go for three years and how many students would teachers like to send for three years?" she asked.
Klug said it took 200 scientists and engineers on earth to send commands to the Rover each day and also described some of the problems encountered, discoveries they have made and future Mars exploration missions planned.
"When it comes to space we know so very little. You guys are going to be the ones that give us discoveries and figure out the things my generation never dreamed they could see or do," she said.
The ASU Mars Education Program is the facilitator of the Mars Student Imaging Project, which Klug said allows fifth grade through community college students from across the United States the opportunity to participate in actual Mars research using a camera currently orbiting Mars.
"You will have the chance to do the same thing that our Ph.D. scientists from around the world get to also do but you get to do it as fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth graders," she said.
Before allowing the students to ask questions Klug advised the students to start making plans in middle school that will impact and open doors of opportunities in the future and not let others discourage them from pursuing their interest in science.
"There are a lot of people who will say it is not cool with whatever your dream may be but that is your choice. You shouldn't let other people make that choice for you," she said.
Boeing representatives entertained students with action-packed videos demonstrating each of the panelist's careers and moderator Art Rosales, director of Special Programs at Boeing, informed students of the company's desire to hire Hispanics.
Amelia Escojido, an engineer and scientist for Boeing, reminded students about financial opportunities for college and also told them that a higher education will take them further than they can see.
Also participating in the Boeing panel was Veronica Balderamas, a UTPA engineering student, who told students about her recent summer internship at the company, which has hired approximately 35 UTPA interns over the last 10 years.
"When they say Boeing wants you, they mean it," Balderamas said. "They do everything in their power to get you to work for them. The internship was an amazing experience for me."
Other representatives from Boeing included Alberto Arteaga, an XM Radio program team member and Platform Integrated Product Team (IPT) Lead; Keyla V. Anglada-Muniz, a Boeing mechanical engineer; and Jeffrey J. Robles from Boeing-NASA Systems.
UTPA student and University Scholar Erin Sepúlveda-Cué, a junior majoring in mathematics, shared the story of his journey and emigration from Mexico to the United States three years ago with the audience.
While in high school in Mexico he decided to move to the United States by himself because of the opportunities he hoped a life here would provide.
Hoping to one day become a pilot, he learned English, studied hard and worked as a waiter to pay for his rent and living expenses while attending Edinburg High School.
"I didn't know much about math and science, but I worked hard," Sepúlveda-Cué said. "I knew math and science were going to take me to my dreams."
After graduating high school one year early with 31 college credits, he enrolled at UTPA in summer 2003 and plans to graduate in December 2005, finishing college in two and a half years.
His dream of becoming a pilot was reinforced by Lt. Col. Edward Cabrera, a keynote speaker and third-time HESTEC presenter, when Sepúlveda-Cué was able to thank him for his participation in the event, which raises money for scholarship recipients like himself.
"It was an awesome experience to meet him," Sepúlveda-Cué said. "He's an awesome guy and answered every question I asked him about his job and the life of a pilot."
Cabrera's address focused on the doors that opened for him throughout his life and career path as a pilot.
Cabrera was the first student from his high school to be accepted to the Air Force Academy, and he remembers when a teacher told him "by going to the academy, many doors will open for you."
The doors did open for him, most recently one which allowed him to serve as the operations officer for the Joint Strike Fighter Concept Demonstration, and assume the position of F/A-22 flight test squadron commander at Edwards Air Force Base from 2001-2003. Cabrera wanted students to know a college education is the key to the doors they come across in life.
"I think it's important for the kids to see someone who looks like them, with a similar background," Cabrera said. "I think I am lucky to have parents and teachers who stressed education."
Cabrera's future plans include going to Baghdad, Iraq to assist at an aviation site and help Iraq in its efforts to become a self-governing country, he said.
Patricia Garcia, an eighth grade teacher who accompanied 60 pre-AP math students from Vernon Middle School in Harlingen, said the pilot (Cabrera) was very interesting and seemed to trigger students' interest in the field.
"I think definitely these presentations will have an impact on some of the kids," she said.
Israel Nogueira, one of Garcia's students, said he liked hearing about the Mars Rover. "I am interested in that kind of career," he said.
Engineering and Space Exploration Day attendees also heard from two employees from Ford Motor Company that are Valley natives - Aaron Acuña, a Ford electrical engineer from Edinburg who graduated from UTPA with a degree in electrical engineering and Marisela Reyes, a Ford design and release engineer, born in McAllen and raised in Mission, who received her bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in industrial and operations engineering and her master's in engineering with a focus in manufacturing from Purdue University.
Both engineers, who have participated in several of the venues during HESTEC, presented a video showing the new Ford GT that made an appearance on campus this week with its designer Camilo Pardo, one of Ford's chief designers in its Living Legend Studios, and another video showing the revitalization of Ford's 80-year-old Rouge Assembly facility in Dearborn, Mich.
The final presenter of the day, Lt. Mark A. Venzor, field diversity admissions counselor with the United States Naval Academy, informed the crowd via video about the Naval Academy and its mission of preparing leaders. He cited former President Jimmy Carter, basketball player Dave Robinson and Senator John McCain as Naval Academy graduates. He said the Academy teaches you to make good decisions and the importance of being academically prepared. He ended the day with an important message.
"My main message today is that you need to go to college," he said, to resounding applause.

The Department of Social Policy and Social Work at the University of Birmingham is an internationally leading centre for research in social policy and social work. The Department has developed a reputation for delivering high quality teaching and learning which enables students to develop into reflective and research informed professionals. Modules The core modules of the course are: Introduction to Social Science Research (20 credits) Module Lead: Fiona Carmichael; Nick Peim This module aims to provide a general introduction to studying and research methods and prepares you for your disseration, emphasising key skills such as searching literature, finding datasets and presenting and criticising arguments. It also covers ethnics of research, the role of theory and philosophical bases for understanding the social world. Research Design (20 credits) Module Lead: Graeme Douglas; Gary Thomas This module links the introductory module and data collection module through consideration of research, design, questions, warranting practices and sampling methods. All the elements of research design are linked into an over-arching theme of the full cycle of research activity. Social Research Methods I (20 credits) Module Lead: Harriet Clarke; Ian Davison This module introduces the principles and practices of data collection and explores rationales of the various methods. It will focus on the different stages of data collection, including various methods used to gather textual and numerical data. Social Research Methods II (20 credits) Module Lead: Harriet Clarke; Matt Bennett This module introduces students to a range of aproaches for analysing and handling data. It will include covering statistical methods for quantitative data and methodological approaches for qualitative data. It emphasises that the method of analysis is not determined by the method of collection. Researching Professional Practice Module Lead: Sue White This module enables students to explore professional practice using different research approaches and considering the role of service users and professional practitioners as stakeholders of the research. Students are encouraged to draw on their own experiences of professional practice within social work and social care organisations. Researching Social Policy* (20 credits) Module Lead: Jenny Phillimore This module is concerned with the politics of social research, rather than research methods and methodology. It addresses issues such as: how are certain topics identified as subjects for research, how is research commissioned and funded, and what are the relationships between research and the policy process. It draws on real-life experiences of doing research and being researched to explore these issues. Dissertation (60 credits) On completion of the taught (120 credits), Masters students undertake a 12,000 word dissertation on a subject of their choice. Each student is allocated a supervisor, selected for their experience of both the subject matter and supervision. The modules on Social Research Methods I and Social Research Methods II cover a wide range of approaches, including the 'qualitative' and 'quantitative' traditions, plus mixed methods. For courses marked * you may instead select various intensive short courses on research methods from a wide range, including narrative analysis, advanced qualitative analysis, logistic regression, factor analysis and others.

Further information regarding how to apply online can be found on the How to apply pagesApply now OverviewLearning and teaching The Department of Social Policy and Social Work, School of Social Policy, has close links with a range of governmental or non-governmental/third sector organisations and our teaching draws upon both individual research interests of School staff. All students are supported by a personal academic tutor and can draw on the support of the School's Welfare tutors and the University's learning support services. Participants will also benefit from access to e-learning resources as well as the University's main library and student services. Assessment methods The MA programme includes assessed core modules and short courses (120 credits) and the completion of a 10,000 word dissertation (60 credits), while the Postgraduate Diploma includes the assessed courses only (120 credits). Course detailsEmployability This course is designed for those considering research as a career. That includes those wanting an academic career, for whom this degree is ideal preparation for undertaking a doctorate (PhD). It also includes those seeking a research career in such areas as central government, charities and in consultancies and social research. The degree also provides good transferable skills in evaluation and in analysing data and the ability to critique published research. "Clare Hill, MA Social Research (Social Work and Professional Practice),"Birmingham appealed to me not only simply because it was my local university. I was particularly attracted to the Department of Social Policy and Social Work at Birmingham because of its established tradition of Social Work teaching, strong links with practice settings and reputation as a leading centre for research. Having worked within the youth justice system for a number of years, I was keen not only to further my education, but also to be able to apply the knowledge which I had gained through practice experience. The MA Social Research (Social Work and Professional Practice) allowed me to do just that, with modules specifically designed to enable students to critically explore policy and research within their own areas of interest. Studying alongside work can be very challenging, but all of the staff whom I came into contact with were really encouraging; helping me to get the most out of my course and offering support when I needed it. The teaching which I received was excellent and this, together with the opportunity to interact with students from differing backgrounds, meant the learning environment was great. Throughout my time at Birmingham I have felt really valued, it's good to have a sense that you are contributing and can take a proactive role in your own and others' learning experiences. I would whole heartedly recommend the MA Social Research (Social Work and Professional Practice) to practitioners interested in either furthering their knowledge of the role of research within a particular setting, or keen to undertake their own research. The course has allowed me to develop personally and professionally; opening up a whole new world of opportunity. The ESRC recognised research training equipped me with the skills and confidence necessary to apply for a doctoral studentship and, having been successful in my application, I am now studying full time towards a PhD."

TOM FORD EXTREME-This is the first time to purchase this fragrance. I'm well pleased with the complements I get when I wear it. Always looking for a go to fragrance. This is one. Highly recommend it.
Written by Tom on December 14, 2015
Love ! I am a woman who prefers men's colognes for myself, over perfumes. I bought this beauty in Rome, 2013 Again in Germany in 2015 The price here is the best I've seen. I am so tempted to buy another , even though the Rome one is still has plenty. I spray up in the air, 1 spray, let in mist down on me. Subtle is always better. Love this on my husband too.

2011 Acura TSX Sedan 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6M)
The TSX is an excellent overall value in the entry level luxury sedan category.For background, previous cars were 03 328ci, 07 328, 11 M3, 08 4 Runner.The smoothest shifting manual transmission that makes it so easy to drive, even in So Cal traffic.Shifts are short and the clutch is light and soft - could use a little more feel.2.4L engine is silky smooth with adequate power (not as torquey as the Germans) but fuel economy is awesome (450 miles to tank in mixed driving). I love the fact that the only option was Navigation. Xenon, bluetooth, sunroof, leather are all standard vs. options on Germans. Negatives: understeer (FWD), steering lacks go-kart feel of CRV.
The 6-speed manual is quick and smooth, excellent stereo and bluetooth, supportive seats, standard XM satellite radio, excellent resale (residual for leasing). I love Acura's pricing with very few options - try pricing out a BMW.
clutch could have more feedback - firmness, steering needs more feedback -weighting, lacks the ride composure of a RWD.

Friends of the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge (Friends of the Refuge) has donated $3,000 to Montana Trout Unlimited (Montana TU) to be used in an ongoing restoration project along North Burnt Fork Creek as it passes through the Ellison Cattle Company ranch north of Stevensville.
Montana TU has devoted a lot of time and energy over the last few years to North Burnt Fork Creek with the aim of restoring and improving the fishery. The organization has conducted an inventory of all irrigation diversions off of the creek and met with landowners and ditch riders in its efforts to raise awareness and enlist cooperation in its plans to restore the waterway.
The organization has worked with owners of the Ellison Cattle Company ranch since 2010 in a cooperative effort that has successfully installed about 10,320 linear feet of fencing to protect the stream bank from degradation by grazing cattle. Over 1,000 seedlings were planted along 2,273 linear feet of the stream bank in newly protected areas. With help from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and local students, fish population data was gathered at the Supply Ditch diversion which poses a significant barrier to migrating fish, in the hope that a plan for mitigation may be devised. About $27,210 has been spent to date on the project.
North Burnt Fork Creek flows through private land until reaching the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge where, historically, it discharged into the Bitterroot River. This connection has been disrupted over the years by developments on the refuge, but newly adopted plans for refuge management include potential restoration of that historical connection. Friends of the Refuge recognize that restoration of the Burnt Fork fishery represents a direct benefit to the wildlife refuge and its current goals.
Over the last two years Friends of the Refuge has also donated $20,000 to the Bitterroot Land Trust to aid in establishing conservation easements up the Burnt Fork drainage that will also enhance watershed and wildlife values connected to the refuge. Two conservation easements protecting 354 acres on the Severson Ranch and 365 acres on the Schroeder ranch on Sunset Bench have been successfully completed with much of the funding coming from the county's Open Lands Bond Program and the federal Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program. Three other easements are currently in the works that may protect another 517 acres. Four additional landowners in the area have also expressed an interest in placing conservation easements on their land which could add another 650 acres in easements to the area.
Following a dispute with Refuge staff a few years ago, Friends of the Refuge has been banned from participating in refuge activity or making any direct donations to refuge projects. As a result the organization has looked for alternative ways to benefit the refuge indirectly.

Life can be tough for a child star—especially when your boss is a plush purple dinosaur. At age 7, Selena Gomez got her first big break starring on Barney & Friends. "I was very shy when I was little," she recalls. "I didn't know what 'camera right' was. I didn't know what blocking was. I learned everything from Barney." But after two seasons, she says, "[producers] felt like I was getting a little too old, so I got the boot."
Luckily, her career is far from extinct. Last year the Grand Prairie, Texas, native, now 15, landed the role of tomboy teen witch Alex on Disney Channel's hit Wizards of Waverly Place. In September she'll costar with her BFF (and fellow Barney alum) Demi Lovato in the Disney Channel movie Princess Protection Program. And she'll star in and sing on the soundtrack of the DVD movie Another Cinderella Story. Despite juggling her whirlwind Wizards schedule (she works Monday to Friday) with five hours of daily on-set schooling, "I'm having a blast!" says Gomez, perched on the patio of the two-bedroom Studio City, Calif., home where the family recently moved. "I've been blessed with everything that I'm doing."
Mom reminds her of that every day. "There are a ton of yes-people in this town, so it is my place to say no and remind her she is not owed anything," says her mother, Mandy Teefey, 32, who split from Gomez's dad, Ricardo, when Selena was 5. She wed Brian Teefey, 28, in '06. Together they run Selena's production company and supervise her on-set.
In her free time the self-described "shoe girl" spends her $150-250 weekly allowance at Aldo and Forever 21. As for dating? "I have crushes and go on dates, but I don't need a boyfriend right now," says Gomez, who wears a purity ring as "a promise to myself." The budding chef (her specialty: chicken with Hawaiian teriyaki sauce) also makes time for surfing, horror flicks and catching up with pals back home via iChat. "I've met the nicest people [in L.A.]," says Gomez, "but I'm a Texas girl at heart."
Is Selena Gomez... the Next Miley Cyrus?

Graupner Funky Chicken Hawk
Posted by
| Sep 13, 2015 @ 10:05 PM | 3,641 Views
I picked this up recently on a trade deal and had to build it. A couple of my flying spots are inhabited by Red Tail Hawks and over the years they have joined me in flight while flying everything from a nitro plane to sailplanes. I have never chased them so they seem to enjoy the company just as I do. With that said, I wanted to paint this more or less to look like a RT Hawk to see if the hawks like it or disapprove attacking or flying away with it. There is not a lot on the net regarding this odd looking aircraft but I did find enough to aid me in modifying it to BL power and painting it(mostly on RCGroups).
I used a Hobbyparts 1450kv outrunner, 25A esc, Graupner 8x4 folder prop and Hitec HS65HB servos all to keep weight down and power up. I plan to use a 2200mah 3S to maiden it and even painted it came in at 20.5 oz. using that lipo. CG was spot on and no additional weight had to be added.
I mixed several batches of acrylic paint diluted very thin with water in various shades of tan, gold and browns to achieve the colors to appeal to the hawks. I added gold to the brown colors so it would shimmer in the sunlight and airbrushed gold over the top side of the wings. I painted the comb and waddle red to keep the Funky Chicken look along with the bulging eyes. I did add epoxy over top of beek, eyes and front lower part of belly because I read where guys had the folder prop and ground scrape and tear up the foam from normal use.
The maiden should go well as it is a smidge lighter using brushless power over the brushed recommended set up and having much more power, seems this plane can be a handful when underpowered....
I just had to show it off, more pics to come...

Hangar 9 Cirrus SR-22 coming down the pipes
Posted by
| Jul 01, 2015 @ 04:45 PM | 3,430 Views
I recently purchased this Cirrus and plan to complete it very soon. I opted for a DLE35RA for power. I also ordered a electric start for it which will be a nice touch to add to the scale and realism to this very nice arf kit. I am currently looking for a 17-18" 3-blade Biella propeller for this plane, if you see this and have one please pm me.
I will post more as I move toward finishing this, the engine will be in tomorrow!

Having a blast with my Tarot 650
Posted by
| Jun 11, 2015 @ 12:00 AM | 5,459 Views
My brother built this last year and decided to buy it when he chose to part with it. I had a few fits programming it to fly on my JR9503 but have it dialed in now. I am getting 12 -13 minutes of flight on a 4S 5000 lipo and it takes great video and is a very stable platform. Just wanted to show a video and a few pics from around my town since getting it operational.

Version 2 of Version One.
Posted by
| Apr 04, 2015 @ 05:23 AM | 4,468 Views
I built this and flew it over 300 times before crashing it last spring due to a JUNK DX9. Originally it had a 78" wingspan but after some consideration I decided to use a 55" Sky Surfer wing so I could take it to the field in one piece. The vertical stap is from a Meteor EDF jet and the horizontal stab was pulled from a ST Models DG1000. It uses the same Venom 1925kv motors swinging 6x3 Graupner 4 blade props. She uses two 3s 2200 lipos powering each for over 20 minutes of flight time.
It is now much lighter and more compact than its predecessor. It has better power to weight ratio and flies super. It now has 4 test flights and a canopy to cover the steering servo. Paint used is Satin Black Krylon Fusion which adheres well to EPO foam. I hope to see another 300 flights and more out of it, I have gotten alot of video and enjoyment out of this aircraft designed by me.

My SC10RS SC Truck.
Posted by
| Nov 20, 2014 @ 07:15 PM | 4,877 Views
I recently got into short course racing with my sons. I started with two, then bought a couple more. Recently I ordered a bunch of aluminum bling for mine (the Lucas truck) and installed it after breaking several front a arms. It looks good and I am positive I wont break another one.
I found that race spec out of the box the truck is squirrely under acceleration and cornering. Subculture tires work the best at my track, the stock ones are not very good on dirt. I think the added weight will help that but havent had a chance to test it and get it dirty yet. I added a new body, clear slipper cover and installed beadlock wheels for display at home and have a full set of Subcultures for the dirt clay I run on. I still run the stock Reedy electronics but have upgraded the steering servo to a Savox after stripping the stock one. Ill ad pics of it in the next post. Thanksfor checking it out!

SC10RS Snow Machine
Posted by
| Nov 05, 2014 @ 02:03 AM | 5,818 Views
Yes, winter is on final approach once again here in Michigan. The snow will be flying soon so I have created yet another monster to give me something to do besides shovel the damned white bliss off my driveway. It is my Snow Machine short course street racer. This is one of three of my race trucks so while dirt racing is idle I can play around with this. I bought sand paddles and a set of Dubro airplane skis and went to work. The mod took about two hours. I used gull type a arms and installed them upside down to get proper height in the front end and then cut the fenders on the body to give it a different look. I wanted the rear fenders off to open up to allow snow to fly at will. The paddles were mounted on Traxxas wheels and I used Six Shot paddles. The lights took another two hours and look really good. They are powered by a separate 11.1v 1000mah lipo. Ill get some videos when the white stuff starts sticking to the ground!

Hopped Up Sport Cub S2
Posted by
| Oct 31, 2014 @ 10:47 PM | 6,000 Views
I bought this airplane after having the 85" version. The big one was a pain to transport and keep foam from getting beat up so this one got my attention. I flew my brothers before buying it but it didnt have the punch the big one had so I had the remedy in mind before the purchase. I had a new Turnigy motor sitting on the bench fitted to a Turnigy Trust 45A esc. When my S2 arrived it took me about 20 minutes and the power unit was installed(very easy). It can be flown on 3 and 4S lipo. I used the Parkzone Icon A5 three blade prop and spinner. It can be used on the stock motor but if you go to that prop you may want to go up to a 25-30A esc to prevent a fire.
First flight was on a 3S 2200mah. Take off roll was about 2 feet and went like a rocket upstairs. Dont think it will nerd 4S but I have the option if need be. This plane is a blast to fly and looks very good.
I ordered a set of floats for winter flying and just tonight added a new set of Multiplex Fun Cub Tires and I already like it better. If you have been looking at this plane dont hesitate on buying it. It fits in the back seat of a car in one piece, flies on 3S 2200 and has a lot of options like carrying a GoPro, floats, glider tugging and mild to wild aerobatics! Besides that its a Cub...

UMX Radian. A absolute hit!!!
Posted by
| Sep 18, 2014 @ 10:43 PM | 6,004 Views
Its been awhile since last buying a UMX plane. I saw a Radian UMX and bought it just to check it out. I am so glad I did, two screws and a charged battery later it was headed skyward.
It flies amazingly smooth even in 10 mph winds. Controls are responsive and the folder prop works great when cutting the power to clean it up for soaring. On the stock battery it can easily get near 20 minutes of flight, that is numerous 300+ climbouts and then soaring to eye level repeatedly. This one is super easy to fly for a inspired newbie aviator young or old and would be great plane for any park or even flying up and down a city block as I do. I am very impressed with this sailplane thus far and look forward to many many more flights with it! Just wanted to share since I havent posted for awhile!

GoPro ride along Cessna 182
Posted by
| Aug 03, 2014 @ 06:35 PM | 6,607 Views
I went out flying with two of my favorites today. I strapped my gopro to the battery hatch on my FMS 1400mm Cessna 182 for a ride along today. Winds were at 17-20mph so it was a little bumpy but the video turned out well. Works well and easy to mount and has about 3/8" clearance from pavement in between all three points of the landing gear. Warm day today I Michigan but turned out to be a nice relaxing day to fly!

Seawind 71" Electric Ready for Maiden Flight
Posted by
| Jul 16, 2014 @ 12:13 AM | 7,396 Views
I wanted to post a few pics of my Seawind plane I recently converted to ELECTRIC. I bought this a couple weeks ago new with a 61 OS engine in it. That had to go! No nitro touching this bird. I went with a 1650KV inrunner by Align and a 100A esc. Yes its a helicopter inrunner, I mounted it in a GP aluminum large mount and took less than 20 minutes to install. Prop is a 13x8 APC and I plan to use 4S5000 lipos. Those mounts ROCK! The servos in the wing are HS225BB Hitecs and the elevator and rudder are Futaba 3102's. I went with a 9 channel orange rx so once its maidened I can fine tune and mix the flaps for optimum control. This plane is gorgeous and I can wait to get it out to the lake.
No, it doesnt have lights(yet), the stripes on the wing and tails are reflective and jump out at the cameras flash.
Ill keep you posted on flight testing!!!

What a fine day for a breakdown!
Posted by
| May 29, 2014 @ 10:43 AM | 9,415 Views
Most of you now me as Flyin'J but when I am not being a father of four young boys, flying or building I am trucking in my 18 wheeler along the western shoreline of Michigan for a living.
Today started business as usual with sunshine and just perfect weather. Breakfast, kids off to school and a kiss on the way out the door from my wife! I set out for St.Joseph and after my first stop there on the way to Holland my dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree as the engine shut down. No clue why but that incident landed me right here at Hagar Shores county Park along the waters edge at Lake Michigan. What a spot!!! I have seen signs for it but have never stopped in. I found a nice quite little piece of paradise nestled in a wooded bluff overlooking Lake Michigan for future picnics and outings with my sons.
So in the meantime Im waiting for a hook to come grab my truck and I will be right down here at the beach daydreaming while on the clock sippin on tea and relaxing
Have a great day guys!

VQ Models Pilatus Porter Electric Flyer
Posted by
| May 22, 2014 @ 11:00 PM | 8,466 Views
I recently traded a couple airplanes for this. I have been flying it daily for the last few days and I am liking it more and more everytime I throw a battery into it. It flies on 6S and is powered by a Turnigy G46 linked to a Castle Phoenix 80ESC spinning a 13x6 prop. It is very stable and looks very good on the ground and even better in the sky! I changed the stock foam tires out for narrow rubber wheels and it made ground handling much better. I also added a larger tailwheel which helped it steer on the ground.
The detailed covering makes it look really scale but it is that sticky backed covering used on the older Hobbico and Royal ARFs so hopefully I don't get any holes or rash...
The main landing gear vertical struts are functional which was really appealing to me. They have a spring inside and work really well. Now all I need is a few Golden Knight skydivers and I can steal the show. Ill keep you posted on that, in the meantime I am looking forward to a great Memorial weekend flying it!
Happy Memorial Day guys and remember the men and women this weekend who gave all to keep us flying in the free world!

New Oldie. Moby Dick 80"
Posted by
| May 22, 2014 @ 10:24 PM | 8,495 Views
Picked this up a few weeks ago. Little did I know it would be one of my favorites. It was a hangar queen sitting around since 2002 or so. It has a AXI motor and Jeti 70A esc spinning a 15x4 prop. It looks like a LSA homebuilt airplane and for its size is super lightweight. It features flaps and ailerons and was originally set up to fly on NiCad packs. I flew it on 3S 5000 lipos but I am going to try 4S next time out.
it has HS 85BB servos in it and I added a set of 5" Kavan wheels to have the ability to fly at less smooth airfields that I frequent. The Kavans are very light and really set it off.
I had put it up for sale and after guys started talking it up I had to take it out and give it a whirl. Glad I did! The only thing I was cautioned about was the fact that it does not have struts and NOT to do aerobatics. I fixed that issue since I have the tendency to test the limits from time. I added two 1/16' stainless cables to keep it easy to assemble and give it that true homebuilt look. Also added the "EXPERIMENTAL" decal on both sides!
Hope you like it. I surely do. Thanks for looking!

Carbon Hydro Dipped Blade 350QX Quadcopter Body
Posted by
| Apr 09, 2014 @ 06:05 AM | 9,708 Views
I was at the Weak Signals show in Toledo where I found this very neat looking body for my Blade 350QX. $75 bucks later and about 2 hours of time here is the result! I love the new look and added CARBON blades that do not require the use of hubs, it flies great and looks super cool! I also have a video I made to show it in flight. I am very pleased with the quality and performance of the Blade 350QX, very good platform for entry level video enthusiasts.
Hope you enjoy!

Blade 350 QX Light Module
Posted by
| Apr 02, 2014 @ 08:57 PM | 9,659 Views
I made this light module to help with orientation while night flying. As anyone that owns a 350 QX knows at night if at low altitude when flying towards you it disappears because the factory lights are on the bottom. Well not mine, not anymore!
I built this mount using the stock cheapo Gopro mount originally included with the Blade 350 and fitted a couple of carbon fiber tubes to it. I added led lights and strobes to the tips to help see it and also to light up anything that may come into its path. The lights and strobe controller can be bought cheap on ebay and and the whole thing can be fabricated in one evening. I used a Turnigy 1000mah 3S lipo which will give you four flights. This mount makes it easy to switch to using the Gopro and back to lights in less than one minute. Have fun with it and hope you make one so you can bug that nosey neighbor, everybody has one of those.....
Here is a short video I put together of my Blade 350QX

My Carbon Z SUPER CUB with Nav Lights and Strobes!
Posted by
| Mar 16, 2014 @ 10:24 PM | 9,910 Views
In my attempt to have a CarbonZ Cub I wanted one that is one of a kind with lights and strobes. Should look really cool sitting on the water when it warms up when in float mode.
I am flying mine on 5S 4500 lipos using a APC 15x6 prop because I just don't think hovering a cub 3D on pontoons over a lake looks very life-like! I am very impressed with everything about this airplane with the exception of the 6" hard foam tires, I opted for Dubro 5" inflatables until my 6" Kavans show up from SIG.
It will take about 2 hours to assemble and have it ready to fly, add 1/2 hour if you bought the optional floats. Easiest floats to assemble hands down!
I also tossed out the rx because you cannot disable the stabilization unless you disconnect the battery once you have activated it. I am using a 9 channel Orange Spektrum compatible rx with two satellites to guide this cub. Anyways I just wanted to show off the lights and I recommend this plane to anyone with the desire to have a large scale foamy!

Multiplex Gemini
Posted by
| Mar 03, 2014 @ 10:28 PM | 9,544 Views
I had been searching for one of these kits for quite some time now. My friend Rick showed me his Gemini a year or so ago and I ask him everytime I see him "are you ready to sell me that Gemini?" quickly followed by a big NO!
Well I can quit asking him now, I found one NIB last week on RCU for $75 shipped. Never building or owning any Multiplex aircraft I was surprised on how well it was packaged. It got much better from there, the foam requires ca and not epoxy making assembly much faster. I used thick gap filling with kicker. All of the plastic parts fit into the foam parts with super precision. I was able to finish it in around 7 hours start to finish. There were no missing pieces and assembly was a breeze. If you build one apply stickers to top side of lower wing before gluing and the tailwheel was modded slightly because the way I saw it in the instructions I would be working on it later making a fix more difficult. I basically used a ez connector to assure the tailwheel arm would stay connected to the rudder steering horn. There wasnt any other problems encountered.
I used a RcTimer 1120kv outrunner and 30a esc swinging a apc 10x7 prop. The servos are 9g and I added a orange stabilzation unit to test out. This is the first airplane I have tried to use stabilization in so I will keep you posted on how that works out. I also added a 10mm led landing light inside the scoop below the spinner just for kicks!
The plane is sturdy and very light even with a 3s 2200 lipo inside. I can assure you another Multiplex airplane will be on my bench soon as I am very impressed with my first experience I had with Multiplex and their Gemini!

EZPZee Blade 180 QX Skydiver Ordinance Drop Module!
Posted by
| Feb 23, 2014 @ 08:21 AM | 10,852 Views
Want to do something other than shoot grainy pictures and video with your Blade 180 quad? Heres a simple DIY skydiver or ordinance drop module. Simply cut a 2" to 2-1/2" x 1" wide piece of thin plywood or plastic such as a credit card and glue a 5gram servo to it like shown. I used hot melt glue. Then remove the crappy camera and using the velcro stap insert the drop module facing downward. Attach a small rubber band to the skid strut. Plug servo lead into the port that the video cam plugs into and adjust servo arm so that when you press the camera button the rubber band slips off the servo arm releasing payload. Add your favorite ordinance or skydiver. Mine has worked everytime with no issues, takes under 10 minutes to build and install. I have been testing its accuracy and my skill locating then releasing above my cats. So far 6 kills and two misses and I have yet to get scratched

BAYONNE -- Bethany Claps capped her game-high effort of 23 points with a shot at the buzzer to lift Staten Island Academy to a 44-42 win over the host school in the third-place game of the Marist Lady Knights Christmas Tournament on Friday.
An Erin Gibbons pass led to Mayana LeGrande's three-point play right at the end of the second quarter to give SIA (7-3 overall) a 21-20 lead at the intermission.
"That gave us a spark going into the second half," said Tigers coach Rose Dunn, whose squad was hampered throughout with foul trouble.
Marist scored the first six points of the third quarter to go ahead, but SIA reclaimed the lead as consecutive treys by Bray ignited a 14-0 Tigers run to close out the quarter.
"After their 6-0 run, we took a timeout and made some adjustments," said Dunn. "(Brandon) was scoring everything inside for them, so we put a box-and-one on her and rotated kids covering her since we had to be careful of fouls."
But Marist chipped away in the fourth, and when Alexis Wilson his both ends of a one-and-one, the Lady Knights had tied it a 42-all with 6.5 seconds left in regulation.
After a timeout, Gibbons got the ball up to Claps, whose running hook on the left side from 10 feet out went through the net at the buzzer.
"It was a nice win," said Dunn. "And a lot of credit also goes to our point guard, C.J. Bernieri. She had an excellend game; she broke their press and controlled the tempo of our offense."
Claps was named to the all-tournament team, while LeGrande won the tourney's "Miss Hustle" Award.
The Tigers resume regular-season play Wednesday at Berkley Carroll.

Some people believe it would go a long way toward lessening religious tensions in America if everyone would invite someone of a different faith over for dinner.
Both Muslim groups and those from the more ecumenical-leaning Christian organizations are among those pushing the idea.
Participants at a Washington news conference on Monday declared Sunday, Oct. 2 as National Invite Your Neighbors to Dinner Day.
They pointed out all faiths have 'love the Lord' and 'love your neighbor' at their heart of their teachings, and reaching out on Oct. 2 to someone of a different faith will promote both.
The main sponsor of National Invite Your Neighbors to Dinner Day is the American Muslim Voice Foundation.

Fallen Hero:
The Ross McGinnis Story
An OnQ Special Report
Few people would have predicted "greatness" for Ross Andrew McGinnis. As a teenager, he'd had minor brushes with police, and was a marginal student at Keystone High School in Knox, Pennsylvania. But after joining the Army, Private First Class McGinnis hit his stride and found a new confidence in the military.
On December 4, 2006, McGinnis was the gunner in the last of six Humvees patrolling a Baghdad neighborhood, when an insurgent threw a grenade into his vehicle. Instead of jumping to safety, McGinnis apparently realized his four comrades in the Humvee had no chance of escape. He rolled onto the grenade, absorbed the blast and died instantly. The four other men in the Humvee survived. McGinnis, age 19 at the time of his death, is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Citing the young soldier's unforgettable sacrifice and bravery, President George W. Bush presented the Medal of Honor to McGinnis's parents at a White House ceremony in June 2008.
This OnQ special report chronicles the life of Ross Andrew McGinnis as told by his parents, friends and the caring people in his hometown of Knox, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. It is brought to you by the Emmy-winning team of writer/producer David Solomon, photographer/editor Paul Ruggieri, and OnQ host Michael Bartley.

I have 2 juvenile GSPs who are about 1.5 in. big now.
I'm contemplating on whether I should start feeding them clams and larger crustaceans and would it be best to buy them frozen or live ones from the supermarket? I'd like to make sure that the foods are 'clean' and free of harmful things prior to feeding them.
I am currently feeding them bloodworms, ghost shrimp, sun dried gammarus, and snails.

|2013 Water Year Precipitation
|2013 Calendar Year Precipitation
October 2012 - January 2013
January 2013
Water Year and Calendar Year 2013
The first four months of water year 2013 (October 2012 through January 2013) have been much drier than normal for New Mexico. The mid and lower Rio Grande Valley, as well as the southwest lowlands, have been especially dry.
Statewide precipitation was only 49 percent of normal during the first four months of water year 2013. The Northwest Plateau climate division had fared the best, but still only received 63 percent of normal precipitation through the end of January 2013.
January 2013 saw areas of above normal precipitation in the far northwest and in the southeast plains. Elsewhere in New Mexico, January precipitation was generally below normal, especially in the mid and lower Rio Grande Valley and in Lincoln and Torrance Counties. Stations with notable January precipitation totals included: Dulce with 2.12 inches, Chama with 1.8 inches, and Navajo Dam with 1.46 inches.
In general, warm and dry conditions continue to dominate. Considering the last 118 years, the 12-month period ending in January was the second warmest 12-month period on record for New Mexico. Additionally, it was the second driest 12-month period on record.
|A tabular summary of the precipitation data is available in pdf format.
|Precipitation ranks for a number of periods, are available from NCDC.

Febrile Ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann Disease: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
doi: 10.2340/00015555-0441
Febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease is a severe variant of pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta characterized by the sudden onset of ulceronecrotic skin lesions and associated with high fever and systemic symptoms. We report here a case of a 20-year-old woman in whom the disease started as pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta and evolved to febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease. Almost 90% of the body surface was involved, together with high fever and malaise. Steroids alone proved to be an insufficient therapeutic procedure. The remission achieved was attributed to the use of methotrexate. To our knowledge, only 39 cases of febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease have been reported in the literature to date.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Police have charged a man who already faces murder charges in a separate case in the May shooting death of a man in southwest Birmingham.
Jimbroski Peterson, 20, of Pleasant Grove, faces a charge of capital murder in the May 17 shooting death of Arthur Green, 22, of Birmingham, according to a news release from Birmingham Police Department spokesman Sgt. Johnny Williams Jr.
Green was pronounced dead at the scene after he was found in a car in the 1200 block of Rayfield Drive. He was found around 2:45 a.m.
Peterson and another man, Ronald Ross, were charged in June with murder in the killing of 28-year-old Jimmy Bernard Hannah in the 2700 block of Carolina Terrace in Bessemer. Police said Hannah identified Peterson and Ross as his killers with his dying words.
Peterson is being held without bond in the Jefferson County Jail.
