Patients with a rare pain condition that can cause people to despise a part of the body so much that they want it amputated are struggling to get a correct and speedy diagnosis because of the lack of awareness surrounding the disorder, according to a rehabilitation expert.
People with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) suffer a chronic burning pain in one of their limbs, usually after a minor injury. In the past some believed the condition was psychosomatic, but that theory was disproved by research showing that people with CRPS undergo very real physical changes in their nervous system.
It has been estimated to affect 26 in 100,000 people, and the rarity and peculiarity of it makes it difficult to spot, according to Gill Thurlow, consultant nurse at the Royal National Orthopaedic hospital (RNOH), which offers a specialist programme admitting in-patients with CRPS.
"They've often been through a journey by the time they get to us," she said. "It can be a difficult journey. Some of the symptoms are very particular. I would imagine most GPs don't see one [case] in their career, let alone often. It is unusual. It's fair to say it's poorly recognised. The diagnostics are quite clear, but it's about having that right mindset to think about it as a diagnosis."
Thurlow said some patients were reluctant to seek help because of fear of the reaction they would get. "You don't necessarily want to go to the GP and say, 'I really hate my leg and I want to cut if off; I don't like that it's part of me' for fear it might prompt a referral to a psychiatrist."
Rachel Bagshaw, a 33-year-old theatre director from Crouch End, north London, experienced severe pain after she fell while running and suffered a serious injury to a tendon in her right leg in 1999. She said she experienced a feeling of "not wanting it to be near". It took 18 months before CRPS was diagnosed and she did not get proper treatment until 2007.
"Nobody could really get to the bottom of it," she said. "The big thing I experienced was, 'It must be in your mind. We can't see any reason why this should hurt as much as it does.' That's something people with CRPS experience."
At the RNOH, which runs a three-week in-patient programme, the focus is on retraining the brain and desensitising it to pain. One therapy uses a mirror placed so the patient can see only the good limb and its reflection, so they are "tricked" into thinking they have two healthy limbs.
Bagshaw said that treatment for CRPS, first at Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases, in Bath, and then at RNOH, had helped her in "accepting the limb for what it is and regaining some ownership over it".
She still has a lot of pain – her right leg cannot bear weight, so she uses a wheelchair or crutches – but her leg feels less sensitive. "I hope people get the treatment faster than I did because the earlier you can get the treatment, the bigger the impact," she said.

Story Behind this Recipe
I kinda prefer eating tarako or mentaiko this way rather than as-is.
How can I explain...?
The fishiness of tarako is reduced a lot by preparing it this way.
'Muchim' means a Korean mixed cold side dish, by the way.
I used spicy mentaiko with chili pepper this time. If you've never tried it, why not give it a go? It's not that spicy.

Unobtainable Disire
Jason has a dream that changes his grip on reality. Growing up his parents tried to teach him right from wrong. And after a dream he has he feels that he is exactly what his mother describes as "wrong." On top of that he knows that if he tells someone he will never fit in. As Jason comes to terms with himself, his disire becomes stronger. A desire that he knows is completely unobtainable.
Chapter One
The Dream
" i can't believe i agreed to come to this party" i said to myself as i walked in the door.
My first impression was that it was way to out of control. And second i couldn't hear a thing over the music. Every one here is a band kid so i pretty much knew them all. I looked around and noticed the beer and intently knew that i shouldn't be here. Being only 15 i didn't have a drivers license so i couldn't leave. So i decided to go sit in the corner until the party was over.
After about an hour of sitting in the corner i noticed Evan walking up to me.
" hey Jason can i talk to you " he screamed over the music.
" yeah sure "
" we should go out side unless you want to sit here and try to scream over the music "
I nodded and followed him through the crowd of people. As i followed him i couldn't help but wonder why a senior wanted to talk to me.
Once we got outside we went and sat next to the pool.
" having fun in that corner?" He asked
" not as much my wasted friends "
He smiled and said " sorry the beer wasn't my idea. "
" sure "
" I'm not as stupid as you think "
" i never said you were "
He smiled again but this time i noticed that it was a different smile. A smile that i like more than his " class clown " smile. This smile seemed more natural and i wanted more of it.
" so... what did you want to talk about "
He Looked away. " i... i "
I could tell that he was having trouble getting his words together. " are you sure this is something that you want to talk to me about"
" sure, no not sure but i need to " he looked away again. " Jason i.. i " he started to laugh nervously " i think I'm gay " he looked into the water and started fidgeting with his hands.
I looked at him my mouth wide open. I never saw that coming. I have been gay for awhile and could normally tell when someone else was.
It took me awhile to gather up my thoughts. I turned to him and said " i can see why you came to me. Can i ask you a question "
" yeah "
" why do you think you are gay?"
" because lately i keep noticing guys in a way i never have and i ... i like it. Jason how am i supposed to know ... I'm so confused.
" well there isn't a way for you just know that you are. It took me a long time to figure it out. "
His eyes looked into mine pleading for answers. He started to break down in front of me.
" Evan i know that its hard but trust me you will figure it out. And when you do you will feel so much better. "
" but how do you figure it out "
" trust me something will happen and you will know. You will have strong feelings for someone or you might kiss a guy and like it. Or you might ..." Evan cut me off by leaning forward quickly and pressed his lips against mine.
Butterfly's went through my stomach as i responded to his kiss. His body pressed tighter against mine as i parted my lips just enough for his tongue to enter. The kiss grew more and more passionate are bodies closer and closer together. We both broke the kiss and gasped desperately for air.
He looked me in the eyes and said " I'm gay "
I smiled and said " are you OK with that "
" i think ill be fine if you will be with me " he looked me in the eyes and i felt warm
" i will but you have to be open i won't go back in the closet "
" ill try my best." He said as he smiled. " follow me i want to take you somewhere "
He took me to his car. He drove us to the park. He grabbed my hand as i was getting out of the car and started walking into the woods. We ended up on this big hill on the other side of the woods. And in front of us was a lake.
By some stroke of luck there was a full moon shining down on the lake. We sat on the shore he put his arm around me and i snuggled against him. I felt like the luckiest man alive.
But then my mom woke me up and told me to get ready for school.
All a dream

The major malaria-transmitting mosquito species in Africa is evolving into two different species, each able to better exploit differing habitats.
That could mean the need for new efforts to prevent and control malaria, a disease that kills an estimated one million children under the age of 5 a year in Africa – one every 30 seconds.
Writing in this week's edition of the journal Science, researchers present two papers looking at Anopheles gambiae, the mosquito that is the most common carrier of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa.
What they found was that the mosquitoes are diverging into two different incipient species, which are called M and S forms. Though physically indistinguishable and able to interbreed, their DNA is becoming more and more different. The two proto-species behave differently and thrive in different habitats.
The mosquito is very adaptive, living happily in coastal rain forests to dry savannas. It's able to do that because its chromosomes carry a lot of variation, says Nora Besansky, a professor of biology at Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana and an author on both of the papers.
The proto-species M is typically found in association with more permanent bodies of water, often connected to human agricultural activities such as irrigated rice fields. It faces lots of predators but a longer-lived aquatic habitat. These can be found in dry parts of Africa even during the dry season, making M a new invader into areas that previously hadn't seen as much mosquito activity, at least during the dry season.
"What that means in terms of disease transmission is that malaria is found in drier places and drier seasons that it normally would," says Besansky.
The S type, on the other hand, is adapted to small, short-lived bits of water. On a dirt road full of ruts, the rainy season can bring innumerable puddles and S readily breeds there.
The advantages for S is that there are few predators in those environments. The disadvantages are that the puddles don't last long. Unfortunately, "it's adapted to breed very fast and get out of the puddle before it dries up," says Besansky.
These proto-species are physically indistinguishable and can still interbreed but are becoming more distinct.
The discovery that the one species is beginning to differentiate highlights the need for more research into this ancient and still-deadly human scourge, says Besansky.
"We need to understand the genetics of these mosquitoes, we're still incredibly ignorant."
On a positive note, the sequencing of the mosquito genomes gives "a blueprint to what makes them different, hopefully guiding us to a better understanding of their unique behaviors and physiologies, from which we can design novel and specific malaria interventions," she says.

Andrew Jenkins was eight years old. And bored. "Go down Warwick Road and watch the football then son if you want something to do," said a bloke plucking chickens.
So he went to the football, to watch Carlisle United. That was in 1944.
By 1959, by which stage he was 23, there was an invitation to join the board of directors. He accepted.
In the 90s - "I can't remember which year exactly," he says - Jenkins became chairman of his football club. On Wednesday, with his ground near full, Jenkins took the usual walk to his seat in the directors' box to watch his football club play Tottenham Hotspur in the Capital One Cup.
"We had two lads who came on as sub on 500 quid a week, they brought on the England right-back," he laughs.
Fifty-three years with a club (once we reach November). It is a heart-warming contrast to those that play with clubs (largely in the Premier League) like fashionable toys.
"It's a difficult job," he says. "For clubs of our size it's a challenge to pay the wages every month. It's very sad. You see the Premier League and the amount of money they've got and they just waste it.
"It was supposed to be for the good of football, but it's only good for big cities and big clubs. All the money they spend on transfers, they could spend some of it on home-grown players and some of it would stay in the country.
"They tend to be bullying us, the smaller clubs. More money should come down but it doesn't. At one time they were all football people, not now, they're business people and they're not bred that way. At one time they would do things for you but they won't do a lot now."
There is much to shoehorn in here, but a first appearance at Wembley, when Carlisle faced Birmingham in front of more than 76,000 fans, at the famous old stadium in the Auto Windscreen Shield final in 1995, proved an emotional one, 36 years after he had joined the board.
"There was water in my eyes," he admits. "I couldn't believe we'd ever get there. It was very emotional. That's what's good about the competition; that small clubs can get there."
In all there have been nine promotions, nine relegations, a season with England's elite (before the Premier League), two appearances at the old Wembley, two at the new, two at the Millennium Stadium and three play-off campaigns.
"My happiest memory was getting promotion to Division One [in 1974]," he adds. "We had to wait for Leyton Orient and Aston Villa, depending on their result to see whether we went up. We were in the Cumberland News office, listening to the match from London. They drew. We got into the First Division. Did we celebrate? Oh yes we celebrated. We had a drink there and then. We went top of the league after three games, we joked that it was easy. In the end we went down by five points."
His father, who started the family Pioneer business ("it's food distribution, mainly catering" with a current turnover of £32m), and was employing the chicken plucker who told his son Andrew where to go, had tried and failed to get on the board.
When Andrew succeeded, he became effectively marketing director, a new idea at the time (in 1959, the next year David Dent would follow him on to the Carlisle board). They invigorated the club, started draws, made it possible to end the annual summer clear out of players.
The last 20 or so years, since he became chairman, have been anything but dull.
"Jimmy Bendall died and we took it over, but we found it difficult and we had to look for somebody else to come in and Michael Knighton came. He was here for four years and he came in with a big bang. He tried to get Manchester United before us.
"It was good for the club at that time. He used to bring in trialists and he was really very good was Michael to start with. Eventually, one way or another he went too much the other way, he built a big stand which still isn't paid for. He got a lot of players in like Matt Jansen and Rory Delap and sold most of them. The crowd got sick of it, he got abuse and he had to go. He's into antique furniture now.
"John Courtenay came in and tried to run it from Ireland. It was impossible. We had a couple of years where we lost £2m and he lost a lot of money. Fred Storey came aboard, a local builder who was doing very well and after John decided to jack it in he gave it a big boost and we went to running it properly, like we run our businesses."
Nothing will likely ever beat the moment Jimmy Glass, an on-loan goalkeeper, scoring in the fourth minute of injury-time to stop Carlisle falling out of the Football League in 1999. "I thought we were out and then he was running up for it, it just fell for him and it was crazy. Half of Carlisle jumped on top of him.
"We've had some good moments, some good managers and we've got a good manager at the moment in Greg Abbott. He works really well with us. We hope he stays with us for a long time. He's a good bloke. He keeps hold of the dressing room. No one takes a lend of him. The players get on well.
"I don't really like being too much out in front. I like to work. I don't want to be at the club if I'm doing nothing. That's the way I've always been.
"From time to time I've put my hand in my pocket. We have maintenance people we will send down to the football club. We do a bit of that. We put money in or write it off. We try to run it like you don't have to but unfortunately, sometimes you do.
"We really need crowds of about 6,000. We are averaging 5,200. We managed to stay around the same all season. John Nixon does a very good job as our chief executive. You're always looking for a cup run."
The visit of Spurs could bring in around £50,000. It really is manna from heaven.
"I'll have been here 53 years in November," he says. "It just seems like yesterday. I love the club. I still love being involved with it. To be honest, I wouldn't like anything to happen to the club. We're all local people and we try to look after it."
And in that is something incredibly reassuring.Reuse content

Then we are saying that the chunk filter needs to always be right above http_filter (since we are picking up c->input_filters in getline). That could well be true...I dunno. If there are other content filters between chunk and http_filter and they stash data away, we are hosed. It is easily solved by passing a bucket brigade as a parm to the function that's doing the real work, like brigade_bgets's bb parm.

I thought REQUEST_CHUNKED_PASS was a module API thing, for modules that want to see chunk headers. I personally don't know _why_ a module should see chunk headers. But if this is an API that we need to maintain, it also isn't too hard to do. Just emulate Jeff's code in whatever the function is that's doing the real work. I really haven't investigated REQUEST_CHUNKED_PASS in any detail. > > > I'm doing minor tweaks to getline() at the moment for other reasons.

For those that have Noah, how does one get on a particular person's route anyway? I've surfed around but none of the guides I've seen are very specific as they only list what to answer for some set of five Yes/No questions. Did they add five new Yes/No questions into the game? I was assuming they'd just let you pick a route to start when you started the game but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Finally got around to playing this since I've had it sitting around since the flipping anime came out and got me interested enough to buy it...
As a linear novel type game I'd say it was a great experience. Unfortunately I'm a big fan of the choice element in VNs so in that regard I came away alittle let down. Felt abit vexing having Rimi shoved down my throat when all I really wanted was to get more Yua with Taku, not seeing her stuck with Ban.
Ah well still extremely well done bit of entertainment and sure did a good job of making me feel queasy on the B-Route when I thought I had long since been past the point that anything could make me feel the least bit squeamish.
Now time to go get a copy of Noah and see what things the additions brought to it.

Hmm, I've tried getting this to work a few times but I've always encountered some sort of error. The most recent problem was that I couldn't get it translated properly. Must be something to do with vista, but it screwed up somehow when installing. Eventually I just got frustrated and deleted the whole game.
If only I knew Japanese.

It's pretty easy to read though. Since the decision are either green(绿) or red(红), or written in English. Ending A is the good ending, IIRC.

However, we have now have enough advances to justify this large thread bump.
The April TECH GIAN demo of 装甲悪鬼村正 is in 1024x577. That's a weird resolution, but Nagato, our Noah hacker, changed it already to 1280x720. After jumping some hurdles like cracking the new encryption key (as well as finding out that you could remove it completely) and finding out how to compress NPAs, we found out that the game has the features of Noah. Thanks, Nitroplus, for providing an executable we can copy code from!
As for the original game, I coded a user-friendly NSIS installer with some technical improvements: MKV OP/insert support, working softsubs, a couple of fixes, and simple Sumaga-like patch NPAs. It shall coincide with 4-6 more user friendly TLWiki releases in the next big publicity st-, err, project.
There will be no small screen support for Noah as of yet: you must have a minimum resolution of 1280x720. Sorry, netbooks and small screens, but that involves us completely rewriting the original script code. Maybe a downsize will happen as an afterthought.
By the way, we'll get a WINE-compatible executable up for C;H, but hopefully Noah afterwards. The movies won't work, though, for numerous reasons.

1024x576. A fucked up resolution indeed.
I handed off the resolution hacking to phiber again since it's a bit different than it was for Chaos;Head. The compiler made some optimizations in the math which threw me off. I haven't heard back from him for a day or two so I'm not entirely sure what the status on that is.
Wine compatibility is touchy. I've yet to test the new engine with it but the EXE is unpacked (like Sumaga, which worked fine from what I remember) so I think Noah will work. Chaos;Head had kinda bad support since it used a protected EXE which needed to be unprotected but then some other unexpected stuff came up with it.

Though he would actually direct other features, including the ill received 1967 A Countess From Hong Kong, wherein Marlon Brando decided to be a mean girl to co-star Sophia Loren, and the neglected A King in New York (1957), many read the 1952 Limelight as Charles Chaplin's 'enduring' final film. An appropriate approximation of his immortal Tramp character after fame has fallen away, the bittersweet tragicomedy wasn't well-received at the time (though Bosley Crowther raved in The New York Times, hailing the film as "eloquent, tearful, and beguiling with supreme virtuosity"). McCarthyism succeeded in thwarting the film's distribution, limiting the release to New York City and those labeling Chaplin a Communist picketed screenings where it did play. In the UK, the film's release was less harried, with newcomer Claire Bloom securing a BAFTA win for Most Promising Newcomer. The film would receive a theatrical release for the first in Los Angeles twenty years later, »

Written and directed by Charles Chaplin
Rightly dubbed a "supreme auteur" by David Robinson, who provides a video essay on the newly released Criterion Collection Blu-ray of Limelight, Charlie Chaplin wore many hats in making this 1952 film. Aside from writing, directing, and starring in the picture, he was the producer, he arranged the score, and he choreographed the dance sequences, in addition to other supervisory duties behind the scenes. Part of the preparation for the film even included Chaplin penning a novel on which the movie was based, called Footlights, which was then adapted with great ease by the author. Set in 1914 London (about the time Chaplin had left England for America), Limelight is a basically familiar showbiz story, with one performer's career on the wane as another's is ripe for revival, but there is far more to this late Chaplin classic. For the great comedian, »

Mantra? You call it a mantra. I call it reality.
Hockey is a team sport. For a team to win, there must be cohesion and unity as a team. If there is not, there is failure.
PK's fiasco is not happening in a vacuum. All of the Habs players are very aware of it. Game 1 was last night and where was PK? Was PK concerned about his teammates? Or was he more concerned about Himself.
The team dynamic with PK involved has been damaged. You can dismiss it all you want but it plays a very large role in how a team performs.
Chemistry, trust, respect. It is an intangible not seen on video game consoles. But it is a very important dynamic for success. PK just shot it to hell last night. Time to move on in a different direction.

text: Diagnostic Value and Safety of Stereotactic Biopsy for Brainstem Tumors: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of 1480 CasesKickingereder, Philipp MD*; Willeit, Peter MD‡,§; Simon, Thorsten MD║; Ruge, Maximilian I. MD*Neurosurgery: June 2013 - Volume 72 - Issue 6 - p 873–882 doi: 10.1227/NEU.0b013e31828bf445 Review: Editor's Choice Abstract Author Information BACKGROUND: The feasibility and safety of stereotactic biopsy for brainstem tumors (BSTs) are controversial. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been reported as the preferred diagnostic tool, histopathological analysis is frequently necessary to establish a definitive diagnosis. Recent advances in molecular characterization of brainstem gliomas—accounting for the majority of BSTs—have revealed several potential targets for molecular-based therapies. Hence, a molecular stereotactic biopsy that combines histopathological diagnosis with molecular-genetic analysis will become increasingly important for patients with BSTs. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a systemic review and meta-analysis to determine the risks and benefits of stereotactic biopsy for BSTs. METHODS: A systematic search in PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science yielded 3766 potentially eligible abstracts. Meta-analysis was conducted on 38 studies describing 1480 biopsy procedures for BSTs. Primary outcome measures were diagnostic success and procedure-related complications. Data were analyzed according to standard meta-analytic techniques. RESULTS: The weighted average proportions across the analyzed studies were: 96.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 94.5%-97.6%) for diagnostic success, 7.8% (95% CI: 5.6%-10.2%) for overall morbidity, 1.7% (95% CI: 0.9%-2.7%) for permanent morbidity, and 0.9% (95% CI: 0.5%-1.4%) for mortality. Meta-regression revealed a significant correlation between diagnostic success rates and the number of biopsy procedures performed annually in each center (P = .011). Other factors did not affect the outcome measures. CONCLUSION: Stereotactic biopsy of BSTs is safe. It allows exact histopathological diagnosis as a prerequisite for adequate treatment and opens new perspectives for the molecular characterization of these tumors as a crucial first step toward more individualized treatment concepts.

I use newspapers as a carbon ingredient in my composting and sheet mulching. Is it safe to add copies of the Guardian to my compost heap?
After many emails with long-titled green bods at the paper and a conversation with Garden Organic, I can say it is fine for you to compost the Guardian. Phew. The process will break down any chemical in the inks.
Saying that, there is such a thing as too much carbon for your compost heap. Too much brown (carbon-rich) material will slow the process. To counter this, add more green (nitrogen-rich) material such as grass clippings, comfrey, young weeds and veg peelings. If you read the Guardian every day, that's an awful lot of carbon to break down.
Newspaper is excellent sheet mulch (wet it first otherwise it will rob moisture from the soil). Once in strips it also makes great animal bedding (worms, chickens, rabbits, etc). It can be made into pots for seedlings or used for last-minute frost protection (a couple of sheets over seedlings at night does wonders). Finally, to clean greenhouse windows, use a scrunched-up newspaper as a cloth: dilute vinegar makes an excellent cleanser.

Simplehuman® Mini Sensor Mirror is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Highheelshighhope from simply fantastic mirror This is a true gem of a mirror. I had no idea when I ordered it of the cool travel case. I use it at home to pluck eye brows and check makeup. I travel with it because most hotel bathrooms don't have good lighting. I have given it as gifts. I love it.

Interfacing Ultrasonic Distance Sensor : ASCII Output with PIC MicrocontrollerLigo George
In some of our projects, we may want to measure the distance of an object from a point. Ultrasonic Distance Sensors are the best sensor which provides stable, accurate, precise, non-contact distance measurements from 2cm to 4m. Ultrasonic Sensors can be used to measure distance between moving or stationary objects. Being very accurate and stable, these devices find large number of applications in robotics fields. For example it can be used as an excellent replacement for IR sensors in a Micromouse. In this tutorial we will lean to interface an Ultrasonic Distance Sensor with PIC Microcontroller.
Here for demonstration we are using Rhydolabz Ultrasonic Distance Sensor with ASCII Output. It can be easily interfaced with a PIC Microcontroller using USART by just connecting the output pin of the sensor to RX pin of the microcontroller. In every 500ms this sensor transmits an ultrasonic burst and listens for its echo. The sensor sends out ASCII value corresponds to the time required for the ultrasonic burst to return to the sensor. The UART of the sensor is operates at a baud rate 9600 and the sensor can be powered by a 5V DC Supply. The ASCII output of the sensor will be equal to the distance to the obstacle in centimeter (cm).
The sensor has three pins…
- Vcc – +5V DC Supply to the Sensor
- GND – Ground Level of the Power Supply
- SIG – Signal, Serial Data Out
Circuit Diagram
The sensor outputs distance in centimeter (cm) via USART. The output format can be found from the datasheet of the sensor as follows.
ASCII values corresponds to each character can be found from the following table.
The sensor outputs error message if the target object distance is above 4.3m.
MikroC Program
// LCD module connections sbit LCD_RS at RB7_bit; sbit LCD_EN at RB6_bit; sbit LCD_D4 at RB5_bit; sbit LCD_D5 at RB4_bit; sbit LCD_D6 at RB3_bit; sbit LCD_D7 at RB2_bit; sbit LCD_RS_Direction at TRISB7_bit; sbit LCD_EN_Direction at TRISB6_bit; sbit LCD_D4_Direction at TRISB5_bit; sbit LCD_D5_Direction at TRISB4_bit; sbit LCD_D6_Direction at TRISB3_bit; sbit LCD_D7_Direction at TRISB2_bit; // End LCD module connections void main() { int i; char dist[] = "000.0"; Lcd_Init(); // Initialize LCD UART1_Init(9600); //Initialize the UART module Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CLEAR); // Clear display Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CURSOR_OFF); // Cursor off Lcd_Out(1,1,"Distance= cm"); do { if(UART1_Data_Ready()) //if data ready { if(UART1_Read() == 0x0D) //check for new line character { for(i=0;i<5;) { if(UART1_Data_Ready()) // if data ready { dist[i] = UART1_Read(); // read data i++; } } } } Lcd_Out(1,10,dist); }while(1); }
I think the program is self explanatory. Every time program checks for new line character <CR> (0x0D), when it founds it, the program reads next 5 characters as the distance data. The distance data is assigned to a character array and is displayed in the LCD.

Wind chill warning expires; warm weather days away
Wisconsin man dies on mountain in Argentina Severe weather has hampered effor
Much of the Milwaukee area was still in hibernation mode Tuesday as people waited out the last wave of polar wind chills that have forced schools, businesses and government agencies to close.
The wind chill warning in southeast Wisconsin expired at noon, and the weather will begin warming up for the rest of the week — with temperatures expected to hit the mid-30s Friday and Saturday.
But the National Weather Service issued a wind chill advisory until noon Wednesday for Ozaukee, Washington and counties to the north. The rest of southern Wisconsin is under a lesser alert known as a hazardous weather outlook.
High temperatures for the Milwaukee area are expected to reach only as high as 4 degrees, with wind chills still between minus 15 and minus 25.
Alerts and closures in the area:
■ Black ice on parts of the freeway system are expected to persist for the next 24 hours. The slippery, difficult-to-see ice has already caused multiple crashes, so drive slowly. Salting isn't as effective in subzero weather.
■ Milwaukee Public Schools are still closed Tuesday, as are most other schools in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties, though they are expected to reopen Wednesday.
■ Most Milwaukee County buses are running Tuesday and are on time, though some have experienced maintenance issues and will be delayed. A few routes serving schools aren't operating.
■ General Mitchell Airport saw several dozen cancellations and delays Monday, and there will likely be a similar number Tuesday. Check your departures here and arrivals here.
■ Six of the 14 Amtrak trains that run between Chicago and Milwaukee are canceled today. Train numbers 329, 332, 333, 336, 337 and 340 are canceled.
■ Several Metra trains on the Union Pacific/North Line running between Kenosha and Chicago have been canceled, so there are significant delays.
■ The City of Milwaukee Health Department's three health-center locations will be closed, and residents who need help can call 286-CITY. City of Milwaukee offices are back open.
■ Be wary of getting frostbite or hypothermia. Skin exposed for more than 10 minutes could become frostbitten, and hypothermia occurs when the body's temperature drops below 95 degrees.

The seven members of Edinburgh band Broken Records are in a jovial mood. They have every reason to be happy: ever since they put out three independently released singles last year they have been showered with praise hailing them one of the most hotly tipped bands, and by some, as Scotland's answer to Arcade Fire. Not that they have yet mastered the art of receiving praise.
"We regress to seven giggly schoolgirls whenever anyone says something nice," their frontman Jamie Sutherland says shyly, when we meet near their label to discuss their debut album, Until the Earth Begins to Part. "The last couple of months has been about trying to get a thick skin in case it goes wrong. What if everybody pans it?"
Self-effacing they may be, but Broken Records are an ambitious bunch. There is much use of the word ambitious, and you can hear it in the album's brave opening. "Nearly Home" begins with a dramatic instrumental, building up emotive swirling strings and trumpet; it's nearly two minutes before the vocals join in. Ambition is the premise behind the band's music.
It was at St Andrews University that Sutherland met guitarist Ian Turnbull in 2003 and started the post-rock outfit Mood Swing Whisky ("a Dirty Three thing going on with scratchy guitars"). Broken Records followed when Sutherland's younger brother Rory joined on violin. From the very start, they wanted to stand out from the standard guitar-based indie band, so they recruited bass, violin, accordion, mandolin, pianos, trumpet, glockenspiel, ukulele, drums, and a full-time celloist."The idea is to not be a four-piece guitar, bass and drums kind of band, but to be more ambitious with it," says Turnbull.
It explains their keenness to avoid being tagged alongside their more traditional Scottish indie folk peers Frightened Rabbit and the Twilight Sad.
"I had somebody say, 'why doesn't he sing in a Scottish accent?'" says Sutherland, somewhat baffled, in a slight Scottish lilt. "Why would you? I'm proud to be Scottish, but I don't want to be closeted with being a Scottish band. We've always been ambitious and I want this music to be heard by everybody."
It's their record label that they wear more proudly on their sleeves. Signed to 4AD in January, they join a rosta loaded with acts on the more exciting, avant-garde end of rock and pop, from Brooklyn's hip rock band TV on the Radio and the National to New Mexico's Balkan folk-pop act Beirut. All of whom, they are delighted to point out, do something a bit different.
"It's a case of bands that are trying to do something different but are still trying to exist in the pop and rock'n' roll three-minute format. That's where I like to see us," says Sutherland. "I like the idea of being able to write pop songs with different instrumentation and to push it so it's accessible. The last thing you ever want to be is exclusive, us sitting scratching our beards."
It took two years of playing the pub circuit before they were signed. For record labels fighting to keep afloat in an ailing market, stumping up the cash for a seven-person band hardly seemed a lucrative business plan. "I think maybe people were slightly daunted," Turnbull says. "It's quite a big proposition to take on."
At the same time, it was their size and the big, epic sound they create, that found them noticed in the first place. Record labels needn't have worried: they tell me use the same size van as the four-piece the Twilight Sad and take the same number of Travelodge rooms (they just cram four into a room). That must be a squeeze. "Our van's like Tetris," Turnbull quips. "It's less comfortable, but the payoff is you get to make a massive racket every night on stage. And the good thing about a large touring party is you never get sick of the same faces. It's an extended family," adds Sutherland. But what about their own finances? "None of us are expecting to make living out of this , we've all kept our jobs. We haven't got delusions of grandeur."
Not only are they prepared to sacrifice comfort to save cash, but their tour manager was astonished when they insited on doing their own catering. Celloist Arne Kolb is the resident bartender with his signature mojitos, while one of the band is a trained chef. "If we weren't in a band we would start a restaurant," says Sutherland. "There are always a couple of people in the kitchen making a mean soup."
Sutherland and his brother were brought up on Mahler and Bob Dylan (their father listened to both "to death", obsessively collecting Dylan bootlegs). Impartingtheir discerning music tastes and buying Sutherland his first electric guitar, would be a decision their parents would regret. Sutherland was the first to drop his degree in English and philosophy, while Rory quit architecture at Dundee. Their parents, both doctors, were less than impressed.
"They hated it," says Sutherland. "They worked very hard to put us through school and university and I guess it must've seemed like we were throwing it back in their faces by dropping out." Now their mother is their number-one fan.
"It's all my mum talks about these days. She's probably our biggest fan. She comes along to our shows and brings her group of ladies along. And my dad's on board now. When you tell families you want to play music they never take it seriously. But I don't think you can have a 17-year fad. I'll still be doing this when I'm an old man."
Broken Records might just have to get accustomed to the praise and prepare to give up those day jobs.

Cyclists roll through East Providence to assist with affordable housing efforts
EAST PROVIDENCE — Congregants of St. Mary's Episcopal Church on Warren Avenue in city played host to a gaggle of adventurous and amiable young people over four days this week, the group associated with the non-profit Bike & Build Inc. committed to assisting in the construction of affordable housing nationally.
The riders were housed at St. Mary's from June 9 to 12 as they began a cross-country trek taking them from Rhode Island to Half Moon Bay, Calif., as they raise money and awareness for affordable housing causes. On Wednesday they did their part locally, assisting in an effort being done by the Greater Providence chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
"You hear so much negativity about young people, but these kids were great. They give you a new outlook on the good things some kids are doing today," said Mike Boyce, the Junior Warden at St. Mary's.
The cyclists reached East Providence Monday evening and, according to Mr. Boyce, were given free-reign to use the church's facilities. They proved to be welcomed and appreciated guests.
The riders, mostly ranging in age from 18 to 25, will travel roughly 50 miles per day at the start in the more congested areas of the East Coast. Once they near the mid-west, they'll expand their daily rides to upwards of 100 to 150 miles. The purpose of Bike & Build is to expose young people to "the country's affordable housing crisis through organized bicycle trips," according to program literature.
"This could not have gone any better. It was kind of like an adventure for us, too," Mr. Boyce said Thursday morning, as he and several others witnessed the riders dip their tires in the Seekonk River at Bold Point prior to heading westward. It's a tradition of the program. They'll do the same once they reach California.
"They came in Monday night and stayed through last night. We had no problems, no issues whatsoever," Mr. Boyce continued. "We had a cookout for them Monday night. I told them we didn't have much muscle around here, so we needed some help. They said no problem. They had the place cleaned up in no time. They were very nice, very inquisitive. They asked us more questions, than we asked them. It was a very enjoyable experience."
The Bike & Build riders have in the past stayed at St. Martin's Church on the East Side of Providence, but could not this year. The group contacted St. Mary's. Previously unaware of the program, Mr. Boyce said he did the necessary research then sought and received permission from St. Mary's Vicar Peter Michaelson allowing the cyclists to bunk at the church.
Bike & Build, based in Philadelphia since its founding in 2003, offers eight cross-country biking trips each summer. The riders stop in towns along their route and participate in construction efforts at affordable housing sites that are in progress. They also meet with local officials and community members to discuss affordable housing issues. The group will travel for 10 weeks, each rider attempting to raise $4,500 to help fund the trip costs and the program's affordable housing efforts nationwide.
"We would welcome them back. I hope they do come back next year," Mr. Boyce added. "They did so much for us, as much or more than we did for them."
