Why do I have such severe pain in my upper arms between my shoulders and my elbows?
About 1 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with R.A..
I have been on Methotrexate, Enbrel, Celebrex and prednisone. I am now currently taking Cimzia. My problem is that I am not sure if it is working due to the fact that I suffer from excruciating pain in my upper arms between my shoulders and my elbows. It seems to subside during the day, but in the evening and during sleep hours, it is borderline unbearable! I am not able to lift my arms up, or even lay on them.
I have weakness and soreness that is awful. (Feels like when you get a TB shot and you can't move your arm.)
I do not know if I can take Celebrex and prednisone to relieve the pain (nothing else seems to help) while taking the Cimzia.
What is causing this pain, and how can I control it or rid myself of it? Would cortisone injections help?
Thank you and I look forward to some possible answers.
Answers from our Doctors
There are some features of your current symptoms that differ from what we typically expect from active rheumatoid arthritis (RA); these include pain that is worse at night (in RA, perhaps as you have experienced in the past, symptoms are typically worse in the morning), and the 'widespread' nature of your pain (whereas, pain and stiffness in RA are more typically isolated to the joints).
Potential causes of more widespread pain in the arms could include several different entities (things like fibromyalgia, neck arthritis, among others). In the end, the source of your current symptoms will require careful consultation from your rheumatologist and other providers. I would suggest that you discuss these symptoms further with your providers.
I have extreme itching and pain in my muscles across the shoulders down the upper arms. The only thing that eases it, somewhat, is using an ice pack. I have both Fibromyalgia and RA. I have mentioned this to every Rheumatologist I have had in the past 7 years, only to get a shrug and no answers. One even suggested I needed to see a psychiatrist (don't see her anymore). It varies in intensity from low itching to extremely high. I am chemically sensitive so don't use fragrances or products with fragrances. Please help. I wonder if the arthritis in my neck is affecting the nerves that run through this area.
When you hear these words run away from that MD as fast as possible. Are there any large teachibg hospitals in your area? A good place to look for a new MD.
I have exactly the same problem as you Christy and am in agony in the morning and during the night with severe pain in my upper arms. It slowly subsides after I take my usual dihydrocodine and 2paracetamols(every 4 hours)I have been diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis and have already spoken to my doc about this flare up with upper arms and he said to take 2 dihydrocodine at night but it has made no difference. Any advice anyone??
what medications are you taking? some have nerve pain effects
I just started on methotrexate 5 weeks ago. I'm up to 7 tablets (17.5mg) once a week. Today I started having severe pain in my arms from the elbows to the shoulders. It's nearly unbearable. Yes, it's like you can't hardly move your arm. And it's the whole arm, like it's radiating throughout, not just muscle or bone or nerves. It's like someone took a baseball bat and beat the heck out of my arms.
I've been diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis and fibromyalgia (myofascial syndrome?)
And you know the usual kinds of pain you have and this is NOT like anything I've experienced before.
NO FOR COUPLE DAYS HAVE HAD SEVERE PAIN IN MY ONE UPPER ARM... COULD THIS BE CAUSED BY MY GOUT? or??
I too had the upper arm pain and was eventually diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis. I began my treatment with anti inflammatory drugs and Methotrexate and progressed to Humira. Today, I am in remission and have been for several years. The best advice I can give anyone is to start making changes in your lifestyle. Begin with exercise, then make changes in your diet. Are you eating or drinking things that you know are toxic and have no nutritional value? I exercise M-F for 1hour each day. I no longer drink diet soda, I am very careful in how much processed foods I eat and if I start feeling bad I go all fruits and veggies and proteins until I feel better. I take a multi vitamin daily and always get 7 to 8 hours sleep. I am a true believer in listening to body. When you have inflammation that causes pain, you have to figure out what is causing it, drugs should only be temporary to get you through figuring it out. It takes time but is well worth it!
The pain wakes me up at night. It feels like being stabbed in the shoulders and beaten with a bat all at the same time. I stopped taking my cholesterol medicine and the pain decreased tremendously.
I have experienced bilateral upper arm pain for 3-4 months now, alongside my diagnosed Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosed 6-7 years ago. I am on Humira (not the "wonder" drug I had been waiting for after having been on it for over a year .... .?? Previously just on methotrexate injections (which made me feel totally sick AND in pain for 6-7 days a week) then on Methotrexate with Humira (didn't feel any changes at all other than still feeling sick after methotrexate !) now just on Humira but disappointed that I have these "new" upper arm pains ever since!?! Especially bad during evening and night and first thing in the morning, although strangely keep waking up with my arms up either side of my head, as that seems to be the only way I can get to sleep, as lying on either arm is painful enough to wake me up after a few minutes. Do I have fibromyalgia on top of the rheumatoid??? Seeing my rheumatoid nurse next week but afraid they might say it is because I have stopped the methotrexate (little do they know I stopped it LONG before I was "officially" released from having to take it and I felt no difference between then (stopped it over a year ago) until about 3 months ago when the upper arm pains kicked in. I thought they would just go away gradually, but feel like I have had a "dead arm" both sides for months now. Also experiencing an almost "freeze" feeling to my right shoulder when I try to pick up anything slightly heavy (I.e. the iron) and literally have to ease my shoulder socket back into place. Any feedback would be appreciated. Degenerating RA? Fibromyalgia? ??? Just need to know I'm not the only one suffering these weird "extras" to my already flipping awful RA symptoms in my hands, feet and knees. I have just "celebrated" my 46th birthday and feel about 95 in my body! Xxx
I been having these problem not all at once but painful wben I do havnt been diagnosed yet lately it's been my biceps in pain that i cant reach are hold my hand out straight im scared because I dont want to hear the worse any advice. H_town girl

Teen shot outside FDA Seattle regional office
Police say a security guard shot a 15-year-old boy Friday morning in the parking lot of the Food and Drug Administration Seattle regional office in Bothell.
Sgt. Cedric Collins says Bothell police received a call about 7 a.m. saying the guard had contacted a suspicious person in the parking lot. Another call a few minutes later said shots had been fired.
Collins says the teen was hit and while driving away he collided with another vehicle on the Bothell-Everett Highway. He was taken to Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police are questioning the guard and investigating what the teen was doing in the suburban business park.

Career Handbook
Developing a Personal Brand
People have an opinion about you, whether you like it or not. Personal branding is about intentionally influencing how others see you. It means knowing and communicating who you are. It's your reputation and your unique characteristics. This includes your unique set of experiences, personality, skills, abilities and ideas. It is designed to be used to market you. It is not just a job title, a career objective, life purpose or a personal mission statement. Your brand statement, a representation of your personal brand, will likely be one or two sentences describing what you do, how you do it and for whom.
The first step in identifying your brand is to identify your "brand elements." These are the key words people associate with you or that you want people to associate with you. Write down as many words that describe you as you can. If you need help with this, you might ask people who know you well to suggest words they think describe your strengths and personality and add those words to your list. Group together the words of similar themes until you have four to five words which best reflect the themes.
Once you identify your "brand elements," the next step is to decide how to communicate those themes. One way to do this is to record yourself talking about the themes until your ideas become clear. Take notes and distill your ideas into one or two sentences. These sentences will become the basis for your brand. Try to answer these three questions: What value do you provide (what problems do you or can you solve)? How do you do it uniquely? For whom do you do it, or want to do it?
Once you've identified your brand, it's time to start using it. Align your branding materials (in print, online and in person) so they all communicate the same message about you. Use your brand when developing your business card, job search correspondence (resume and cover letter), portfolio, blog and website, LinkedIn profile, Facebook profile, Twitter profile, video resume, personal appearance and professional email address.
A personal brand should be more than how you present yourself to the world. It should be a living demonstration of who you are. Live your brand through participation in school, work, volunteer experiences, extracurricular activities and generally your day-to-day life. Ideally, your brand statement should be revised at least once a year to reflect changes in your experience.
A large part of your personal brand lives in the digital realm. Because of this, you have a digital identity. As a concept, digital identity is still developing. So even though the definition isn't concrete, there are things you need to keep in mind as you develop your personal brand and navigate different social media platforms.

Wis. snowmobiler rescued after 2 nights in forest
A snowmobiler from Superior, Wis., is recovering in a Duluth, Minn., hospital after spending two nights in subzero cold in the forest on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border.
Craig Friebe says he was riding up the frozen Nemadji River early Saturday when he ran out of gas. He would spend over 48 hours trying to find his way back to civilization before he came upon a bridge at daylight Monday, when it was about 15 degrees below zero, and waited until a snowplow driver happened by and summoned help for him
He and his wife, Becky, are sharing their stories on the web site CaringBridge.org. She writes that he was in fair condition, still "defrosting," and was "in a lot of pain" as of Tuesday. But she says he's in good spirits.Peace activists don't want drone aircraft hovering over Afghanistan to be powered from a control room in Iowa.

Jerry Jones is one of the most criticized general managers in the NFL. But in 2012, the face of the Dallas Cowboys will be the NFL's best GM.
America's team hasn't had the level of success the last 16 seasons that fans have come to expect, winning only one playoff game in that span.
That will change in 2012.
Jones has made the roster moves necessary for this team to find playoff success. For the first time in years, the Cowboys should find themselves playing deep into the postseason.
Plus, Jerry has finally put together a complete roster that has everything needed to contend. So here are seven reasons that Jones will be NFL executive of the year in 2012.

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
SALTILLO – The Saltillo Board of Alderman spent more than an hour in executive session Tuesday night discussing the employment of three of the city's police officers, including the city's assistant police chief, who are all currently suspended.
The board took no action concerning the three officers but Saltillo Mayor Bill Williams said they will remain suspended with pay indefinitely.
Williams, last Wednesday, suspended Assistant Police Chief Prentiss Brown, Officer Mark Roberts and part-time Officer Tyler Weathers.
The suspensions came because Williams said officers who supported Police Chief Steve Books in his unsuccessful bid to be Saltillo's mayor were intimidating those who were not loyal to his campaign.
He said he perceived infighting between members of the police department as a safety risk.
"It's is a recipe for disaster and the right thing to do is to remove the antagonists and that's who I perceive these fellows to be," Williams said.
Before going into executive session, the board voted to hire Randy Box, a part-time Saltillo police officer, into a full-time position to ease the workload and overtime in the department. The vote was 3-1 with Alderwoman Jewell Webb voting against the hire.
Aldermen Terry Glidewell and Webb said, before the vote, that they would like to wait until the new administration takes office in July to make any decisions with the police department.
Brooks, who will retire when his term expires June 30, was not at the meeting to represent the department. Sgt. Grant Bailey represented the department in his absence.
Bailey said the department will be able to function until July, when the new administration led by Mayor-elect Rex Smith will take office and begin filling vacancies in the department, which include a new chief of police and new investigator.
Box is the department's sixth full-time officer and will fill out the city's night shift.
Arch Fuller of Corinth is representing the three suspended officers in a legal capacity during this process.

Area students attending IUPUI will soon see construction around campus. The college will use $30 million to upgrade streets around the area and the swimming facility.
City and college officials say the goal is to allow better access between the college and downtown Indianapolis.
A portion of the project will go toward making a section of Michigan and New York streets available for two-way travel. Construction efforts will allow for safer walking and biking travel for students.
The road construction is projected to start next year.
Plans are also underway to upgrade the swimming facility. The IUPUI Natatorium was opened in 1982 and will host the U.S. Olympics diving trials in 2016.

Candidate filing deadline is MondayStaff Report | January 23,2013Despite what it says on the forms, petitions to run for local office are due in to the City Clerk's office Monday.
Paperwork distributed by City Hall gives the deadline as Jan. 30. City Clerk Henry Heck said this was an error attributed to the fact that petitioners have two days to withdraw their petitions and keep their names off the ballot.
"It was just that the dates were mixed up," he said. "Even though the deadline is the 28th, it's not an official petition until the 30th."
Heck said he tried to get notices to everyone who took out petitions.
"If Bob Smith comes out of the hills on the 29th and says 'here's my petition,' we'll look at that then," Heck said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER — FairPoint Communications is being purchased by Illinois-based... Full Story

Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes
I have some photos to share from this past weekend. Traverse City sits on a bay of Lake Michigan, but over the weekend I was able to travel out to the actual shore of Lake Michigan inside the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. I went out on Saturday with Kris, the woman that I'm living with this summer, and we went to the beach in Empire with some of her friends and then drove through a scenic drive in the park before following the border of the Leelanau Peninsula through small towns and along more of the shoreline. Then on Sunday I had the chance to go back when I went out with a couple of other people to go hiking near the dunes. We chose a trail that wasn't actually out on the dunes, but wound its way through the woods and had a couple of views of Lake Michigan.
It's a really incredible area (voted Most Beautiful Place in America back in 2011 by ABC News). It's amazing to come upon such a huge body of water that isn't the ocean. After our Sunday hike we went down the lakeshore and were talking about how it's odd at first that it doesn't smell like the ocean because you expect it to be salt water. The dunes rise up above the shoreline and then are surrounded by really dense forest and inland lakes. And out on the water are South and North Manitou Islands, which add to the majesty of the surroundings.
Here are some pictures from this past weekend – the captions will explain where they're from.
(You can click on any of the photos to see an enlarged version.)
I'll write again sometime later this week with an update of the work that I've been doing and what's coming up in the future.

Toyota - An earthquake rattled the Club World Cup in Japan on Wednesday, frightening players and fans from countries not used to violent seismic activity.
Several players took to Twitter after the 4.9-magnitude earthquake shook the Toyota Stadium and the nearby central city of Nagoya, where most of the teams and their supporters are staying.
It was a reminder of the ever-present danger of earthquakes in Japan, which was struck by a record 9.0-magnitude quake in March followed by a tsunami which smashed into the country's northeast, leaving 20 000 dead or missing.
Toyota was due to stage the semi-final clash between Brazilian giants Santos and Japanese champions Kashiwa Reysol later in the day, and FIFA said there would be no change to the schedule because of the earthquake.
"Tremendo tremendo (Wow wow)," Portuguese-speaking Santos defender Danilo, a Brazilian international, wrote on Twitter.
"Ke buen temblor!" ("What a big earthquake!") Abraham Dario Carreno, the Monterrey player, tweeted in Spanish. "Solo un susto" ("Just a scare"), he added.
The earthquake struck at 13:01, the US Geological Survey said, at a depth of 50km, 36km from Nagoya, one of Japan's main cities.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Public address systems at the Club World Cup have been informing spectators at games about what to do in the event of an earthquake.
Speaking before Wednesday's tremor, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, reflecting on the March 11 disaster, said: "When nature decides to revolt, there's nothing you can do about it.
"The only thing we can do is to try and anticipate adversity using technology and, afterwards, stay strong to try and come through ok," he told FIFA.com.

By Michelle Provencher 8:45pm, February 12, 2013 - Updated 8:53pm, February 12, 2013Oil spill cleanup continues after about 1,600 gallons of diesel is leaked from a DelDOT station in St. Georges.
Vehicles were gassing up at the location for storm preparation over the weekend, which is when the leak started.
DelDOT says their investigation took shape Tuesday, when it was determined the leak was caused by a broken pipe connecting the tank to the fuel pump.
Luckily, the diesel pooled in a retention pond, preventing contamination of a nearby stream.
DelDOT says environmental experts are confident most of the diesel can be recovered.
A cleanup crew was on the scene within 30 minutes to begin containing the spill. It will cost about $50,000 to mitigate the damage.
DelDOT is working with DNREC's Environmental Crimes Unit as the analysis continues.

Israel and EU reach deal on £400m research scheme
Tensions between Israel and the EU cooled down from boiling point on Tuesday, when the two parties reached a compromise on a bitter disagreement over settlements.
Israel had been keen to join the EU's Horizon 2020 scheme, which was due bring a cash injection of £400m into Israeli R&D coffers. But Brussels insisted that Israel tacitly approve a policy that isolates settlements as a condition for joining the initiative.
New guidelines put in place in the summer stated that no EU money given to Israel should reach projects that operate in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Golan — areas in which, for the EU, Israeli activity implies "settlements".
For weeks, Jerusalem refused to sign up to Horizon 2020, professing concern that doing so would be seen as approval for Brussels's anti-settlement rules. Early this week, the crisis intensified, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu summoning ministers for urgent consultations on the issue.
Late on Tuesday, the crisis was solved. The EU agreed that Israel could add an appendix to the agreement outlining its objection to the strictures on settlements. This gave Israel the leeway it needed to sign up.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Paul Hirschson said that he was pleased that Israel will now join Horizon 2020, and that before its compromise, the EU had been trying to push Israel to define its borders. "What the Europeans were doing was effectively to dictate the terms of [a future Israel-Palestinian] agreement, which has nothing to do with Horizon 2020," he said.

If you are setting up a killer gaming rig, with multiple graphics cards and a gig or more of video memory then you won't be getting your moneys worth unless you play at very high resolutions. If you stay with 1680x1050 you won't be much better off than with a single card. If you go big, like 2560 x 1600, then you will be using the graphics power to it's utmost. To be able to run those resolutions you will need a 30" monitor, like the

Samsung's $4000 SyncMaster XL30 LED Backlit LCDis a little much for your average gamer, as not too many people care to ensure that the blood flying from their opponents is a perfectly accurate shade of red. On the other hand, those who make their living through graphical design have to have accurate colour depiction. That is exactly what the XL30 provide,

Does keeping up with the recommended refresh in ms on a TFT LCD give you OCD? Take a quick drop by Hardware Secrets for an overview of the LCD market. Without delving too deep into the technical aspects, you can get a good idea of what aspect ratios are available as well as other features that are a must for the gamer or movie fan.
Widen your horizons

Are you still stuck on an old CRT or regular ratio LCD screen? Does the price, quality or just the sheer amount of choice of widescreen monitors
have you holding off on your upgrade? Check out X-Bit Labs, who have gathered together ten 19" widescreen LCDs from seven different manufacturers. See if one of these might convince you to take the step and widen your world.
HD so real you can touch it

OrigenAE has come up with a very interesting idea, the T12 Touch Screen. It is a 12" widescreen display capable of 1920x1080 and as the name implies, it is a touch screen. TechPowerUp loved everything about the monitor but the price, though inexpensive touchscreens are few and far between. Take a look at the review, it may give you a lot of ideas as to how this display could be used.
X-bit Labs ever expanding monitor roundup
Subject: Displays | June 23, 2008 - 03:29 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
X-bit Labs have been doing a yeoman's job at trying to compile a huge list of monitors for you to compare. They are continually expanding the number of round-ups they have for monitors of various sizes, the newest of which is the sixth installment of their look at 20" monitors. This installment comes with some rather serious warnings about the models from NEC and ViewSonic.

The ASUS MK241 is 1920x1200
24" monitor with a claimed 2ms (gray to gray)
response time, 3000:1 contrast ratio and a 130% colour gamut. They also claim that this monitor will be perfect for both gamers and graphics pros, a serious achievement if it is true. ExtremeTech has some positive things to say, but can't call the monitor perfect.

HEXUS has spotted a Sapphire monitor that is worth showing off! A native resolution of 3,840x2,160 (16:9) will pretty much cripple any graphics card if you could find a game that supported it, and your system might actually need this fan if you actually managed it.

BCC Hardwares takes a look a pair of 24" monitors from Samsung, the (hard to find) ~$380 245B and the ~$560 245T. The price difference really jumps out at you, and the two monitors reflect that in their technology.

Grab some extra real estate
Subject: Displays | May 2, 2008 - 01:58 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
If you are looking for a nice big monitor, then AnandTech is the place to visit. They've gather five 24" widescreen LCDs, three are TN panels aimed at consumers and two are S-PVA panels which will appeal more to graphical designers. None of these panels are cheap, either in construction or in price, but gaming at 1920x1200 has some other steep entry requirements.

264" of TN displays
Subject: Displays | April 11, 2008 - 12:08 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
A full dozen 22" TN monitors are up for review in the second installment of X-Bit Labs 22" LCD round up. Prices for a decent 22" wide screen gaming LCD have hit the $300 mark, a far cry from what they were a year ago. It also helps that you can pick up a graphics card that can handle 1680x1050 in most games for about the same price. Read on to get an idea of the state of the market for those looking to game on a wide screen LCD.
A stressful display

Drop by Madshrimps for some advice on choosing the technology that is best for your viewing needs.
Caveat Emptor
Subject: Displays | March 11, 2008 - 12:18 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Techgage delivered a warning during their review of the ASUS VW222, and that warning was to avoid the monitor altogether. They found the 22" TN panel LCD to be a poster child for every problem that can occur when using that type of LCD. Even with it's fast response rate, poor colour replication and a very noticeable screen door effect real detract from what could have been a good LCD.
You should keep an eye on this review though, ASUS contacted Techgage as they believe that the monitor they tested may have been defective; there will be an update soon.
"The display market is chalked-full of models that fill up the quality spectrum, from sub-par up to high-end. The VW222 falls into the sub-par category, sadly, with overall poor color representation and noticeable screen-door effects, resulting in a model that should not be considered for purchase."

Soyo and Honeywell join in a display of force
Subject: Displays | February 25, 2008 - 02:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Soyo used to be a major motherboard manufacturer, although they have moved on many have fond memories of their Dragon series. Now, in a venture with Honeywell, they have released the Soyo Topaz S 24" LCD, a 1920x1200 TFT display with a 6ms refresh. ASE Labs tried it out and found it to have no problems gaming or playing DVDs, or with Linux as the used Ubuntu to test it.
Samsung's new display
Subject: Displays | February 7, 2008 - 03:21 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Samsung's new 245T 24" LCD monitor takes advantage of a newish display type, called Super Patterned Vertical Alignment, and for now it seems to be only Samsung that provides it. The biggest surprise you may run into is the price, it is a $700 monitor, although Pricegrabber may get you a bit better price. Bearing that in mind, the bar that this monitor has to reach is fairly high. The response time of 5 ms gray-to-gray was enough for AnandTech's eyes,
The new year's resolution
Subject: Displays | January 28, 2008 - 03:02 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The Samsung SyncMaster 2232GW sports a hefty price, over $350 on PriceGrabber, but you do get a lot out of it. It sports 2ms grey to grey response, a 1680x1050 native resolution and colours that Think Computers found to be quite impressive. It is simple compared to some other monitors, having only 3 plugs, power, VGA and DVI, no audio, USB or iPod Docks, just the basics.&nbs
Ambidextrous monitor
Subject: Displays | January 14, 2008 - 06:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Dell's UltraSharp 3008WFP-HC will accept just about any possible signal, with ports on the back for Analog VGA, DVI-D (2, w/HDCP), HDMI, DisplayPort, S-Video, Composite and Component. The 8ms gray-to-gray can show some issues in FPS games, but ExtremeTech found the display perfect for watching HD video. Another consideration for gamers is that it doesn't handle 1680x1050 which some find to be a sweet spot for Crysis.

On a perfect Saturday evening in June, crowds of people gathered on a strip of beach in Maryland. It was the party of the summer—the ninth annual Bands in the Sand event to benefit the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. It was a party with a purpose, meant to leave an imprint on the hearts and minds of everyone present. The goal? Save one of our nation's vital waterways—the Chesapeake Bay.
On a sunlit beach, piles of shoes quickly accumulated. An annual ritual, symbolic of an entire community joining together to save the bay. Footprints in the sand along the shore, evidence of the positive impact made by the event. This is what bambeco is all about.
Bambeco supports CBF all year long, but Bands in the Sand is special. An amazing opportunity to give more, do more. To make an impact and leave an imprint.
For the price of a ticket, attendees enjoyed fabulous foods including fish sandwiches, jerk chicken sandwiches, pork kabobs, veggie burgers, and mix of salads, snacks and sweets, as well as a wide selection of beverages, adult and otherwise. And they were entertained by three bands, the Evokatones, MadPlanet, and Misspent Youth. It was a night of reggae, ska, and classic rock, perfect for dancing.
Some walked down the path from the parking lot at the CBF headquarters, while others paddled in on kayaks and canoes, or came by dinghy from their boats offshore. They came to celebrate and support. They came to dance the night away. They came to save the bay.
Bambeco CEO Susan Aplin spoke of the importance of the bay, and the partnership with CBF. She moved the crowd, touching everyone present. At the end of her speech, she led the crowd in a rousing chant, "Save the Bay!" Everyone joined in.
In the bambeco lounge tent, outfitted with chic, sustainable outdoor products, an Annapolis neighbor fell in love with the Vintage Biergarten Collection. The authentic German biergarten table and benches reminded him of his annual trips to Germany—a vacation that started out with just him, his father, and his son and over the years, grew to a group of over 50 people traveling together and enjoying the sights, sounds, and flavors, of Germany.
It was an evening of warmth, friendship, good food, good fun, and a great cause. It was an evening designed to make an impact…to leave an imprint.
Make an impact – support the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. At bambeco, we believe there is an inherent and profound connection between us and our environment. That's why everything we do—from our manufacturing processes to our materials, our best practices to our products—is 100% sustainable. Bambeco gives over 1% of their annual sales to environmental partners like the CBF.

What have others found to be effective or ineffective, and are there any relevant stats or studies on any of this? My current best plan is to simply remove both from my car every time I get out (except in my garage); that'll be a PITA, but manageable. Are thieves going to see the mounts and break in anyway? If I leave them locked in the glove compartment instead, are they significantly less safe than on my person? If I simply mounted the GPS somewhere other than the windshield, as suggested by the office taking the report the second time, is that enough to make a difference? [more inside]
Can I count on my GPS during an extended blackout?
Say there's another huge blackout like the Northeast had a few years ago, and let's say it lasts two months... Will a GPS unit in my dashboard and powered by my car still be able to connect to the satellites it needs to, to direct me on my way?

GPS Auto Purchasing Assistance
I would like to purchase a GPS receiver for my car. I primarily need it for work covering Chicago and suburbs. I would like one that can speak and talk me to my destination. There are just too many models to choose from! I do not want to purchase the cheapest model and regret the decision later. Neither do I need one to cover all of North America and Canada. I am just seeking a good reliable system that has a good reputation for always picking up the signal. Any assistance would be appreciated.

The Sansa Clip recently proved that it's a better player than the iPod Shuffle in a faceoff here on abi>>. We won't let it rest however, as it's time for it to take on a stronger opponent, feature wise – the Creative Zen Stone Plus.
With both players being available up to 4GB (once the silver clip is released), and both of them featuring pretty much the same features from a technical point of view, this is set to be a much closer competition. Read on to see the face-off.
For those of you who like spec sheets, abi>> Compare can help you out.
Design is always in the eye of the beholder, but the Clip generally comes off as having a more practical design than the Stone Plus. First of all the screen is bigger; to stay with the round style, Creative decided to make a round looking screen which actually is a square screen with a round window. The result is a much smaller screen than that on the Clip. There is a decent amount of space around the screen, and Creative could easier fit a bigger screen.
Button comfort and placement is another side where these two players differ a lot. The Clip has raised buttons which have a nice clicky feeling to them when pressed, while the Stone Plus' smooth pebble-like design make the buttons harder to press. The Stone Plus also only have 7 buttons, while the Clip has 8 plus a dedicated on/off/hold switch. The hold button is something I really miss on the Stone Plus, even if you can put on key lock from within the player.
The most noticeable difference between the players is of course directly related to the player names. The clip has a clip for attaching to clothes etc, while the pebble shaped Stone Plus require additional accessories to be attached in any way (armband, key chain). If you don't want to spend extra money on accessories, the Clip's clip is a very nice addition, and since it's removable it won't bug you if you don't use it.
Stone Plus
The button mappings on the Stone Plus are somewhat of a mystery to me. One thing that particularly annoyed me was the random use of the shortcut button located on the top, next to the play button. On a device that lacks a dedicated hold button, Creative somehow thought it would be a good idea to make a button with no other purpose than to be a shortcut to a feature of your choice. A much better idea would have been to use it as a back button, since you have to scroll to "cancel" every time you want to get out of a menu. The middle button brings up the menu if pressed quickly, and the option menu if held down for a second. This is fair enough, but I find myself pressing it to try to pause rather often, as the play/pause button is inconveniently located on the top.
The Zen Stone's interface just leaves a giant question mark above my head. Getting to the right menu is a real hassle, for several reasons. First off, the menus respond slowly and sometimes the player does not seem to respond at all- this leaves you pushing the button again and again. Slowdowns up to 2-3 seconds occur pretty often, especially with music playing. Speaking of the menu, there is both an "option" and a "settings" icon on the main menu, which could easily confuse people. Options are for the mode currently in use (music, radio etc) while settings are the actual settings. The most horrible aspect of the menu is however the lack of file browsing. You can browse folders, but not files, making it impossible to scroll through to find songs you want.
Sansa Clip
The Clip's buttons are luckily more usable than those of the Stone Plus. You have a dedicated home button that switches between the menu and the mode in use, which is way more useful than a shortcut button. The volume buttons are placed on the sides, but unfortunately the headphone jack is just above them, so using angled plugs with the Clip is somewhat of a hassle when you want to adjust the volume. Switching the placement of the USB and the headphone jack would be a much better solution in my opinion. Since the volume buttons are on the side, that means the round click wheel has room for both a menu button and a play/pause button.
The interface is luckily not as slow on the Clip as it is on the Stone Plus, in fact it is pretty fast and responsive. Music navigation is by means of ID3 tags like artist, album etc- scrolling through the list is very fast. Disappointingly, the Clip does not have file folder browsing.
Both players have radio, and both radio receivers are pretty poor. Testing indoors, they more or less preformed just as poorly. The Clip has radio recording which the Stone Plus lacks, otherwise they are both equally uninteresting in this area.
Voice recording
Voice recording is another gimmick that most likely won't be used much. Both players record to low quality wav, and neither will be even a half decent replacement for a dictaphone.
Stopwatch and clock
The Stone Plus has two nice little features that the Clip is lacking, a clock and a stopwatch. The clock can be set as a screensaver or linked to the shortcut button, and works well. The stopwatch however, is not that useful. When music is not playing, it works just fine, but as with everything on the Stone Plus, playing music means it will lagg so bad I doubt it's even accurate. We're talking laggs for a second at a time, and it doesn't even stop right away when your press stop.
Other Notes
There are some other differences between the features of these two that should be noted. The Clip is MSC/MTP selectable, the Stone Plus is only MSC. Both use a mini USB connector, and since both can do MSC that means OS compatibility is great on both players, and you won't need any proprietary cables. A bigger more significant difference is battery life. The Clip is rated at 15 hours versus the Stone Plus with 9,5, and those 5,5 extra hours is something I think many people will welcome.
Sound Quality
You won't be disappointed by the sound quality of the Stone Plus, as it will make most common users very happy, but competing against the Clip on flat EQ is something not many players can do. The most noticeable difference is the soundstage, the Clip has an amazing channel separation and switching from the Stone Plus to the Clip is like positioning the various instruments more correctly.
That being said, the EQ of the Stone plus is noticeably better than that of the Clip, and it also has a bass boost option. Neither of the players will disappoint you, but sound quality wise it's flat EQ vs EQ for these two.
I really don't want to sound like a Clip fanboy, but in this matchup there is only one winner. The Stone Plus is extremely slow, clumsy, has a rather bad battery life, a
nd with basic things like hold button and file browsing missing, the Clip is it's master in almost every aspect. Since both players are priced about the same, there is not much to be said to make you want to choose the Stone Plus over the Clip. The speaker version which is coming out any day now might be a selling point if you like audio books or sharing music with your friends, and it will also have a better battery life. If that's not a priority – stay with the Clip.

Bowie State Stabbing Casts Pall Over Homecoming
DeRell Bonner | 9/17/2011, 7:13 p.m.
While some students at Bowie State University were trying Saturday to focus on touchdowns during the homecoming game against Livingstone College, they couldn't help but ponder the tragedy that took place on two days earlier on campus, when Dominique Frazier was allegedly stabbed to death at the hands of her roommate Alexis Simpson.
"I never thought the last time she said goodbye would be the last time she said goodbye," said Chidi Essinen, who had been friends with Frazier, 18, since last year. Essinen said that Frazier, who would have celebrated her birthday on Sunday, had her own style and was different than other young women on campus.
"It's just crazy," said Jirae Foster, a senior from Charles County, Md., who lives on the fifth floor of the residence hall where Frazier was killed. "We don't have a lot of crime, you know, just a few cases of petty theft, a few fights -- but never something like this."
Another student, Erika General, agree: "I don't think the university should be judged on one act of a student," she said.
According to university crime statistics through 2009, the highest number of incidents occurred in 2007 with 46 burglaries, nine vehicle thefts and five robberies. In terms of personal violence, aggravated assaults averaged eight a year, and three forcible sex offenses were reported in 2009.
Founded in 1865, the university sits on 295 acres on the northern edge of the Bowie, Md., a suburban community halfway between the state capital in Annapolis and the nation's capital in Washington, D.C. Bowie State has fewer than 6,000 students, only a fourth of whom live on campus. Commuters and non-commuters alike, consider it a safe haven.
Based on interviews and comments on Twitter, the studdents' biggest concerns lately, had ranged from homework to homecoming. However, all of that changed on Thursday night.
The next day, Maryland State Police charged Simpson, 19, with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and first-degree assault. Simpson is one of three students who shared a four-bedroom suite with Frazier on the second floor of the apartment-style Christa McAuliffe residential community. Originally from District Heights, Md., Simpson is being held without bond at Prince George's County Detention Center.
According to District Court documents, witnesses told police that Frazier and Simpson had been arguing during the past week. Frazier was in her bedroom and playing music on an ipod in one of the suite's two bathrooms as the students prepared to attend a comedy show that was part of the homecoming activities. Simpson shut down the iPod and responded "no" when students asked her to turn the music back on.
Frazier began arguing with Simpson in the hallway, and then they started fighting. One witness was assaulted as she tried to break up the fight, but she was able to push Simpson into her bedroom and close the door. The witnesses said Simpson returned, swinging a knife. Frazier grabbed her throat, staggered into the hall and collapsed. She was pronounced dead at about 8:44 p.m. at Prince George's Hospital Center, police said.
Some students attended the comedy show Thursday night, unaware of the tragedy on campus. As word spread, however, Frazier's death dampened spirits and raised fears. Bowie State cancelled classes and a pep rally on Friday. Instead, the university made counselors available to help grieving students, who paid tribute to Frazier during an afternoon memorial and later that evening at a homecoming fashion show.
The resumption of homecoming activities, including Saturday's parade, game and step show, has been a welcome diversion, helping students take their minds off the stabbing, they said.
"Though it kind of brought down the spirit of homecoming in a sense," Foster explained, "it also brought on a little bit more unity."

Two-year-old Lual is among 18,000 malnourished children benefiting from World Vision's emergency nutrition program in South Sudan.
Lual Akol, a 2-year-old South Sudanese boy, was cranky when a health worker called his name. A World Vision staff member weighed him, then measured the circumference of his mid-upper arm — confirming his severely malnourished condition.
The long walk in his mother's arms under the scorching sun to the feeding center was over. Lual received his weekly supply of Plumpy'Nut*, a nutrient-rich peanut-based paste, and devoured the first packet. Just like prescription medicine, the child is expected to take three packets a day — one in the morning, one at noon, and one in the late afternoon.
Lual is among 18,000 malnourished children benefiting from World Vision's emergency nutrition program in South Sudan's Warrap State, where recent floods destroyed crops.
"Last month, Lual started having a constant diarrhea, fever, and vomiting," says his mother, Awich Ayiei Lim. "He refused to eat because he had lost his appetite. When his condition got worse, I decided to bring him to this clinic for treatment."
The toddler is making progress despite his family's daily toil to find enough to eat. Other children are noticeably improving, too, thanks to volunteers who visit surrounding communities to assess children's health needs. Community members have begun referring friends whose children need help.
"Our program is now enjoying ripple effect, as the mothers, caregivers, and local communities are helping us to identify and refer malnourished children from outlying villages," says Dorothy Matyatya, World Vision's nutrition project officer in Warrap state. "We are very grateful to God for giving us the resources to be able to save the lives of malnourished children."
Awich and her husband are subsistence farmers, who lost their sorghum and groundnut crops in the recent floods. They've resorted to selling firewood, earning about $2 per day.
Warrap state has the highest prevalence of malnutrition among children in South Sudan. Nearly 28 percent of children here are considered acutely malnourished, according to a recent survey conducted by World Vision and its partners.
"The progress is slow, but he is getting better every day. As you can see, he is eating the Plumpy'Nut very well. If he continues eating this food, he will get well very soon," Awich says.
She says she can't find words to adequately express her gratitude to World Vision for saving her son and longs to see help given to other hungry children.
"I am so grateful to those who support this program, and I want to exalt them because the program is saving the lives of our children," Awich says. "I am also appealing for support to vulnerable families like ours that do not have food."
*Plumpy'Nut® is a registered trademark of Nutriset. It is one of multiple ready-to-use therapeutic foods distributed by World Vision.
Praise God for the generous donations that have made this aid available to help Akol and other children like him. Continue to pray for Akol and for World Vision's work in helping these precious children. Pray that even more resources will become available to provide more aid.
Make a one-time donation to help more children like Akol. You can provide life-saving food, improved livestock, agricultural support, clean water, medicines, and other essential care to hungry children and families around the world.
Give monthly to help provide care for hungry children. Your monthly contribution will support our efforts to fight global hunger and malnutrition over the long term.

Hello, reneebu!
What an ugly problem!
In [1] we have: .
Divide by

Raise both sides to the power
. .
I am having trouble with the algebra how do get from
y=(pay/w)^a * (pby/v)^b .... first I factor out y
y=(pa/w)^a * (pb/v)^b * y^(a+b) but how do I get to this result....
y=(pa/w)^a/(1-a-b) * (pb/v)^b/(1-a-b)
I know I could just assume the short cut...eliminate y and subtract each of its exponent variables from the denominator of the other variable exponents but I would really like to understand the long hand algebra... Thanks

Piano crew builds a prize
Caressing the keys is all in a day's work
What do the people who build pianos and the people who play them have in common? They both work with their hands.
And the documentary "Note by Note: The Making of Steinway L107," which follows the yearlong process of building a 9-foot concert grand, celebrates the contributions of both equally.
Building a Steinway has not changed in 100 years.
It is a hand-crafted and labor-intensive collaboration between craftsman and artist from which emerges something as intangible as the joy that appears on the face of someone who owns, plays or hears one, and just as intimate.
The instrument itself is part sculpture and part architecture, built in an environment that is part factory and part cathedral, in a process that is as surely as poetic as the artist's aesthetic ideal.
Just as the subtle tonal differences of each instrument are determined by the personalities and even moods of various craftsmen or women, playing one is an equally tactile process. Like a horse and its rider, a piano's response is linked to the technique of an artist, through whom it speaks.
"Like a good actor, it has to have all kinds of different personalities" for the different roles it plays, says classical pianist Lang Lang.
Harry Connick Jr. likes the instrument to fight back; concert pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard, who is seen choosing one for a performance at Carnegie Hall, likes one with resonance; and Helene Grimaud prefers one that demonstrates "directness on attack. This one spoke to me immediately," she says sitting at L107.
Other artists who appear in the film include jazz pianists Hank Jones, Marcus Roberts and Kenny Barron.
But mostly, the film focuses on the craftspeople who build the instrument - beer-bellied, tattooed, pony-tailed, some speaking in foreign accents and others who grew up near the factory in Queens, N.Y. None of whom, says one, could afford to own the pianos they make. One piano in the film is listed at more than $100,000.
Although "Note by Note" - directed by Ben Niles - has the qualities of an industrial or promotional film, it also is a lovely and lyrical look at a labor of love.
It shows Feb. 9 and 10 at the Times Cinema, 5906 W. Vliet St., and is one of four specialty films showing there through April.
Others include: "Steal a Pencil for Me" a Holocaust documentary by Michele Ohayon, about secret love letters between two concentration camp prisoners, showing March 1-2 and March 8-9; "The Memory Thief," a thriller about a troubled youth who becomes obsessed with the Holocaust, written and directed by Gil Kofman, March 29; and "Daughters of Wisdom," a documentary about a Tibetan monastery for women, April 12.
