text: AcromegalyWhat is acromegaly?When your pituitary gland makes too much growth hormone, abnormal growth occurs. This is called acromegaly. The abnormal growth starts in your hands and feet, as soft tissue begins to swell. This rare disease affects mostly middle-aged adults. It can lead to severe illness and even death if not treated.In children, too much growth hormone causes a condition called gigantism. This leads to a significant increase in height.What causes acromegaly?Acromegaly happens when the pituitary gland makes too much growth hormone for a long time. Several reasons may cause this extra amount of hormone to be made. The most common is a benign tumor in the pituitary gland. Most people with the disease have this type of tumor. It is not cancer. Tumors in other parts of the body can also cause acromegaly. But that is rare.What are the symptoms of acromegaly?Each person's symptoms may vary. They depend on how long you have had the disease. Symptoms may include: Swelling of your hands and feet. You may find your rings no longer fit and you need to buy larger shoes.Larger lips, nose, and tongue, as your bones growLarger jaw that sticks out more (protrudes)Thicker body hairThicker, darker skinMore sweat and body odorDeeper voiceLarger chest as your ribs get thickerJoint painDegenerative arthritisYour heart gets largerOther organs get largerStrange feelings and weakness in your arms and legsSnoring and breaks in breathing during sleep (sleep apnea)Lack of energy (fatigue) and weaknessHeadachesLoss of eyesightIrregular menstrual cycles in womenBreast discharge in womenImpotence in menThese symptoms may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.How is acromegaly diagnosed?Symptoms may not be seen right away. So acromegaly is often not found until years later. Your healthcare provider will take your medical history and give you a physical exam. In addition, you may need:Photos taken regularly over the years, to see physical changesX-rays, to see bone thickeningBlood tests, to check your growth hormone levelMRI or CT scan, to find tumorsHow is acromegaly treated?Your healthcare provider will figure out the best treatment for you based on:Your age, overall health, and medical historyHow sick you areHow well you handle certain medicines, treatments, or therapiesIf your condition is expected to get worseWhat you would like to doThe goal of treatment is to fix the pituitary gland so it makes normal levels of growth hormone. Treatment of acromegaly depends on what is causing the disease. Most cases are caused by benign tumors on the pituitary gland. Others are caused by tumors in the pancreas, lungs, or adrenal glands. Treatment may include:Surgery to remove or reduce the size of a tumorRadiation therapyShots (injections) of medicines to block growth hormoneWhat are the complications of acromegaly?If acromegaly isn't treated, it can lead to several problems. These may include:Heart diseaseArthritisDiabetes and impaired glucose toleranceHigh blood pressureThe disease also raises your risk for colon polyps. These are small growths on the lining of your colon. They may lead to colorectal cancer.Living with acromegalyYou should see your healthcare provider on a regular basis. He or she can make sure your treatment is still working. Your provider can also check for any problems. Early treatment can then be started if needed.When should I call my healthcare provider?Tell your healthcare provider if your symptoms get worse or you have new symptoms.Key points about acromegalyAcromegaly is a rare disease. It occurs when your pituitary gland makes too much growth hormone for a long time. That causes abnormal growth.Acromegaly starts in the hands and feet. It affects mostly middle-aged adults.Most people with this condition have a benign tumor in the pituitary gland.Symptoms depend on how long you have had the disease. Because symptoms can be missed, the disease is often not diagnosed until years later.If not treated, acromegaly can lead to heart problems, arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, or even death.Next stepsTips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:Know the reason for your visit and what you want to happen.Before your visit, write down questions you want answered.Bring someone with you to help you ask questions and remember what your provider tells you.At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your provider gives you.Know why a new medicine or treatment is prescribed, and how it will help you. Also know what the side effects are.Ask if your condition can be treated in other ways.Know why a test or procedure is recommended and what the results could mean.Know what to expect if you do not take the medicine or have the test or procedure.If you have a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit.Know how you can contact your provider if you have questions.

"Obviously a field is 53 1/3 yards wide - we're going to play on every inch of that," he said. "If the ball is on the hash, a lot of teams will play 30 yards wide and use all of the field vertically, but we're going to play 53 1/3 yards wide and we're going to play 100 yards long. We're going to stretch the field as much as we can."
That approach allows UNC to utilize the "one-foot, 10-foot" rule, which is a staple of spread offenses.
"[If you] hand the ball off in a big wad of people and the guy breaks a tackle, how far is the next closest guy to him? Probably about a foot away," Bell explained. "With the way we're going to play with the perimeter screen and other stuff, if we've got a guy and he breaks a tackle, the next closest guy to him may be 10-12 feet away."
The following photo sets offer examples of UNC's spacing strategy.
In the first photo, North Carolina lines up in its four-wide receiver set with Gio Bernard to Bryn Renner's left. Maryland, in its base 3-4, moves its two outside linebackers to the line of scrimmage just before the snap.
Wide receiver Nic Platt is lined up in the slot to the left side of the field. With outside linebackers Kenneth Tate and Marcus Whitfield now standing at the line of scrimmage, UNC holds a 2-to-1 advantage at the top of the photo.
Maryland's two interior linebackers and safety bite on play-action to Bernard. Platt flares out toward the left sideline.
The spacing has worked. If cornerback Jeremiah Johnson takes the wrong angle in engaging Quinshad Davis at the top of the screen, Platt is running free down the left sideline for a long run. Credit Johnson, however, with staying on Davis's left shoulder to protect the sideline.
Platt cuts inside off Davis's right hip. The "one-foot, 10-foot" rule will be on display momentarily. Whitfield has recovered and is working his way back toward Platt.
Platt has one tackle to break to reach the first down sticks. Whitfield makes contact at the 44-yard line…
... and fails to bring Platt down. The next closest defender is roughly five yards away.
Platt is eventually brought down at Maryland's 43-yard line for an 18-yard gain and a first down.
In this next photo series, North Carolina is lined up in its three-wide receiver set with Eric Ebron in the traditional tight end spot beside the right tackle. Bernard is set up to Renner's right and Quinshad Davis is the lone receiver split out to the left. Maryland, once again, has moved both outside linebackers to the line of scrimmage to form a five-man front.
Renner moves Bernard over to his left side. As soon as the ball is snapped, safety Matt Robinson blitzes from the left side, leaving A-back Sean Tapley temporarily uncovered.
With Robinson blitzing, Maryland's back lines are stretched thin to cover UNC's four receivers. Interior linebackers L.A. Goree and Cole Farrand shift to their left to cover Ebron and Tapley, while safety Eric Franklin is playing deep.
Bernard's release to the left flat forces outside linebacker Marcus Whitfield to follow suit. Note how Davis is running a quick slant into an area being vacated by two Terrapins.
Good view of how Maryland's defense has to scramble to cover all of Renner's potential options. Franklin is off screen, but he has shifted to the right hash mark to help cover Erik Highsmith and Tapley. Renner has his eyes set on Davis, however.
Renner gets rids of the ball before the blitz arrives. Cornerback Dexter McDougle is closing quickly on Davis, but he has no safety help as Franklin is focused on Highsmith down the right sideline.
Once again, UNC's spacing has put just one defender between Davis and 45 yards of open field.
McDougle fails to make the tackle at the 45…
And Davis is running free to the end zone. Franklin finally re-enters the picture inside the 20-yard line.
Davis scores on a 50-yard pass play.
The two plays combined for 68 yards. It's worth noting, however, that Platt caught his pass three yards behind the line of scrimmage and Davis caught his ball five yards up the field. Those are good examples of how decision-making and accuracy are more important than arm strength for quarterbacks in this spread offense.

text: I was going to call it at the end of the duck season but my buddy talked me into going out one more time. We got out and the river was iced up pretty good but passable. There was about an inch to three inches of ice depending on where you were at. We did wind up getting some action and I have gotten way better with my gun. Although I have been more patient and allowing the birds to get in closer. I did this video and the birds were way closer than they looked and I just wish the camera angle really showed how close they were. Great to get out one more time this year and am already thinking of next year. Hope everybody had a good Christmas and New Year! Check out the vid.

Oxygen Sensors, OL faults, and crazy volts
My 02 Zetec is stuck in open loop fault. My o2 sensors are also reading some interesting voltages. Sometimes while engine running there is 0v both sensors, when I turn off the car with key in I read .005v both or .065v both. Also with checking connection and wires it has read 0v upstream and 1.250v down, this was key in engine off so I started it to see what happens and upstream hovered below .050 volts And downstream stayed at 1.250v. I have no ideas of what to make of these readings. It runs like crap and is not drivable. I tried to find melted wires and opened some of the loom but came up with nothing. Not sure if relevant but TPS reads at 18%.
Any codes?
None. Not even pending its weird. I assume because it can't complete a drive cycle it's cant trip them.
That shouldn't happen although its strange that it wouldn't recognize these readings from the O2 sensor and set a code.
The upstream sensor should vary between .2 and .8 volts under ideal conditions quite quickly. What are you using to monitor these voltages? I doubt you can get any good/believable readings from them though as they have to be fairly hot before they can begin working reliably.
The car is supposed to run in open loop for a certain amount of time on a cold startup. What is the history on this car? Have you verified that it has a decent RPM signal while cranking and running, and that it has the basics needed for combustion? After those are verified i'd start looking into whether or not the ECU has all the powers and grounds needed to operate. Its strange that it runs so poorly and doesn't set a code and that is why I say that.
Many things could cause this , bad o2 , blown fuse to the o2 , fuel issues etc
How old is the front o2 , have you checked the voltage to the o2 ie fuse
From those voltages, it seems to me that the downstream O2 is the problem. Have you tried running with it disconnected? There should be a connector somewhere up there so you can just unplug it.
If you can get it running evenly, I'd like to know what the voltage is across the battery with the engine idling. Anything more than 14.9v is bad, and you will need a new alternator.
Also, you say that the TPS is at 18%, do you mean that it is reading 18% at idle/rest?
Snap On ethos is how I am monitoring these voltages. The scanner says its in open loop fault, not open loop waiting for conditions for closed.
I will check the o2 fuse voltage with my Dvom and report back. I really have no idea about how old these sensors are but I doubt they are original stock.
The car cranks fine and first idles smooth for about a 3 seconds then goes to shit.
In order for a MIL to be illuminated it needs to trip the DTC twice for a type B code or once for a type A. Most codes are type B. your type a flashes the engine light.
In order for it to trip at least once it needs to complete its drive cycle test. Certain conditions are met during a test for Sensor and tested. I'm not certain if O2 sensors are a continuous monitor system or a non continuous. Either way its never lighting because its not meeting its conditions.
Also my tps reading is 18% at idle. I think I have a wiring issue.
Yeah, if it was running ok before and then suddenly it starts reading 18%, that's a problem. It could be that the TPS itself is bad though typically those go bad by putting out low voltage not high= run lean.
Did you try disconnecting that downstream sensor? That will throw a code, but if it is the only thing that is the problem, then everything else should clear up. I'd also remove the O2 heater fuse for that circuit. This will also throw a code, but that's ok if it runs like that. At least you'll know where to start looking. Anything more than 1v is not right for an O2 sensor.
So I took out the harness looks like a part # 1m5t-12a690 not all the tag was there but when I disconnected the gray connecter my volts obviously dropped to 0v with koeo , and my tps went to 17% . I did find someone replaced the upstream o2 connector because the wires where just twisted together. I fixed that but I don't think this is where my short is. I don't want it to be the harness to the PCM. I didn't find anything else in the harness I pulled except it smelled of antifreeze.
TPS idle values will not read 0% on all vehicles. I've seen up to 20% on a normal running vehicle. That's also where my focus was at idle.

QPR 2-1 Fulham
- From the section Football
Adel Taarabt's double ended Queens Park Rangers' record-breaking winless start to a Premier League season as they beat Fulham in an engaging London derby.
The playmaker opened the scoring with a shot from 25 yards that flicked off defender Brede Hangeland.
While the 23-year-old's first owed much to luck, his sensational second saw him nonchalantly curl the ball into the net following a mazy run from midfield.
Mladen Petric's deflected strike late on ensured a nervy climax for QPR.
The victory was their first of the campaign at the 17th time of asking, halting a run of three consecutive draws since Harry Redknapp took charge in November following the dismissal of Mark Hughes. It also moves them above Reading and off the bottom of the table for the first time since 10 November.
QPR started the brighter and could have gone ahead in the second minute after recalled striker Djibril Cisse was put through on goal following a glorious through ball from Taarabt.
The Frenchman's scuffed shot was saved easily by Mark Schwarzer, though he had room to complain to referee Martin Atkinson after his progress was impeded by a pull-back from defender Aaron Hughes.
That chance failed to wake Fulham from their stupor and their dozy start should have been punished when John Arne Riise played a blind pass back to Schwarzer, but Jamie Mackie somehow contrived to place wide from six yards when it looked easier to score.
A furious-looking Martin Jol watched on as his side's lack of concentration was to blame again when Chris Baird felled Stephane Mbia just outside the area following a loose pass from Hughes, but Cisse and Taarabt wasted the resulting free-kick.
The Dutchman's mood was not helped after the break when Fulham deservedly fell behind as Taarabt's run went unchecked. He broke from deep and hit a tame shot that, luckily for the hosts, took a hefty deflection off Hangeland and trickled into the net past the stranded Schwarzer.
Soon after, the error-strewn Baird was caught in possession just outside his own penalty box, but his mistake went unpunished as Cisse curled his shot just past Schwarzer's left post.
Taarabt was continuing to light up a match which was devoid of much inspiration elsewhere, and his stunning second goal saw him push through the gigantic figure of Hangeland before playfully flicking the top of the ball to create the space to slide in an unstoppable shot along the ground with the outside of his boot.
Fulham had not provided any attacking threat as strikers Dimitar Berbatov and Hugo Rodallega struggled to replicate the form they showed in Monday night's 2-1 victory against Newcastle United.
It was left to substitute Petric to finally find a way past Robert Green, his shot from outside the box looping off midfielder Alejandro Faurlin's boot and beyond the keeper's reach.
That moment of good fortune enticed the visitors to push on at the death, but they were unable to create an undeserved equaliser to deny QPR a vital three points.

World Chefs: Dacasto takes Italian home cooking to new level in Hong Kong
By Cathy Yang
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Italian Chef Giuliani Dacasto has done much traveling to perfect his cuisine, moving from the three Michelin-starred Le Calandre to Gordon Ramsay's The Boxwood Café and 2 Venti in London.
But it was right in his family kitchen in Turin, Italy that he first learned all the tricks of the trade - and it is in Hong Kong that he plans to showcase his innovative Italian cuisine in a city with one of the densest clusters of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world.
Reuters caught up with the 33-year-old at the restaurant Aqua Roma in Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui. Aqua Roma was awarded The "Ospitalita Italiana" Award for Best Italian Restaurant in Hong Kong.
Q: How did you get started in cooking?
A: "My adventure with cooking started when I was nine years old when I began cooking for my family every evening, seeing as my mother was too busy working. From the first moment I spent in the kitchen, I knew this was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life, and that this was something I could be really great at. My first steps in the art of cooking was taught to me by my grandmother, and she had a significant influence on my dishes at the beginning of my career."
Q: Name two dishes on your menu that excite you most, and why?
A: "Agnolotti, or veal shank ravioli, always excites me. This is a dish that was eaten on Christmas Day every year for generations in my family. I still remember my grandmother and my mother standing in the kitchen together, preparing the dish and teaching it to me step by step. The second dish on my menu which has a particular resonance would definitely be oven roasted guinea fowl filled with Boston lobster. It is a particularly difficult dish to find on the menu in most Italian restaurants. For me, however, the connection between game and seafood has always been fascinating in terms of taste and texture."
A: How did you innovate on the agnolotti served by grandma? Continued...

Barone revives "death panel" lie and Soviet smears in latest column on health care reform
From Barone's February 24 Washington Examiner column [1]:
It's an argument that has often been appealing to Europeans but that has always been unappealing to Americans. That's why these advocates segue to other arguments, like Barack Obama's assertion that the government can expand coverage and save money at the same time.
But voters quickly sniff out what this means. The government will use the "science" of comparative effectiveness research to achieve cost savings the only way government can: denial of care. The Soviet medical system kept down the heart disease caseload by placing cardiac care units on the fifth floor, walk up. Death panels, anyone?

England face the Azzurri in Euro 2012's fourth and final quarter-final having unexpectedly topped Group D ahead of France.
Italy came second in Group C behind Spain but have played some impressive football in Poland and Ukraine.
Wilkins expects England to face a stern test in Cesare Prandelli's side but is tipping them to finally end their terrible run of penalty shoot-out defeats and reach the last four.
England face Italy in the quarter-finals – what have you made of them so far?
They are a little bit similar to us, in that they have come into the tournament with a bit of turbulence – in their case the alleged bribery scandal that saw Domenico Criscito pull out of the squad. Nobody gave them a prayer, and they are performing well, they look a decent team.
Andrea Pirlo has been outstanding, while Gianluigi Buffon in goal is still world class. They are missing the injured Giorgio Chiellini, probably their best defender, but Leonardo Bonucci will come in and he looks solid.
Their strikers are all performing well – Antonio Cassano and Antonio Di Natale started against Ireland and looked dangerous, while Mario Balotelli came off the bench and scored a brilliant goal.
Some people have suggested England might have stood a better chance against Spain, because there is a clear gameplan for playing them. Do you agree?
No. Going into the tournament, England's target would have been to avoid Spain. They are extremely cultured and play wonderful football. They may not have hit the heights yet at this tournament, but their track record of success tells you they are no easy option.
How do you see the England-Italy game panning out?
The Italians are tournament-honed. Throughout the years they have peaked at the right time and are always there or thereabouts. They are good technicians with heart and guts, and it should be a classic.
I hope England can continue their positive trajectory. Wayne Rooney came back against Ukraine and scored but I think he's got a lot more to give.
We have been practising penalties and I think we may need them to get past the Italians – I predict an England win in a shoot-out.

Learn how to carve with Mastering Knife Skills by Norman Weinstein, including sample excerpts like Specialty Knives, Cutting Asian Style, and Peeling Onions.
"Mine eyes smell onions: I shall weep anon."
—from All's Well that Ends Well by William Shakespeare
There are several techniques for cutting onions. Some are single-step cuts, such as rings, some are a series of cuts as for diced onions. No matter which technique you are using, your knife must be sharp. If you crush this delicate creature, you will pay with tears. For many of the techniques I write about you must be able to distinguish between the root end and the stem end (in the picture below, the stem end is on the left). Also note the different grips employed.
Onion cells contain two sections separated by a membrane; one section contains an enzyme, the other sulfur compounds. When the onion is cut. the enzyme and sulfur compounds combine to form a mild sulfuric acid. The acid reaches your tear ducts, which produce more water to dilute the irritating substance.
Cold temperatures will slow the enzymatic reaction, so try putting the onion in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes before cutting it. You will also find that using a sharp knife to cut the onion can greatly reduce your tears as the cell walls are cleanly cut rather than crushed.
Fruit or Vegetable: Onions
Knife: 3-1/2-inch Paring Knife or Chef's Knife
Onions need to be peeled by removing the skin and the first, tough outer layer. If onions are to be left whole, a knife should be used to slit and remove these layers. If they have been cut in half, the fingers can be used.
1. Using a chef's knife and the high technique, slice off the stem end.
2. Curl the last three fingers around the handle of the paring knife with the blade facing the fingertips. Place the index finger underneath the heel, close to the bolster. (It is possible to use the chef's knife to remove the peel. Grip the chef's knife in the same manner.)
3. Insert the heel of the blade under the skin, clamp the thumb over the skin. lift and rotate your wrist toward you, and pull the skin toward the root following the curve of the onion. Repeat this procedure to peel the entire onion and any tough outer layers.

Former Obama Official Warns Americans: 'Back Off' Opposition To Obamacare
It was enough to make a conservative yearn for the good old Bush-era days of "Dissent Is Patriotic" . . .
For there on Morning Joe today was former Obama official Melody Barnes, warning Americans to "back off" their Reagan-inspired opposition to big government in general and Obamacare in particular. Instead, instructed Barnes, Americans should focus on making Obamacare work. View the video after the jump.
Joe Scarborough was having none of it, asking why he should back off opposing something that he and millions of other Americans, thinks is harmful to the country. Opposing Obamacare is not "unpatriotic", observed Scarborough.
MELODY BARNES: It is to everyone's benefit that people back off of what was the Reagan administration legacy that government is bad, government workers are bad and think about how we're going to make this work because what we've seen time and time again with Katrina and moving forward is if we don't have an effective federal government people get hurt. In fact people can die.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Hold on a second. why would I back off if I think health care policy is bad for the country in the the long run, the federal government is not competent enough to run it, and the launch has been terrible. Sam Stein asks the question are Republicans going to do their best to help this implementation? No, I don't think they are. And I don't think it means they are unpatriotic if they don't. Obviously what happened over the past few weeks, Sam, absolutely idiotic and self-defeating but why should the Republicans say hey listen we want to help you implement a program that we think will end private insurance over the next decade? That goes against everything I believe and millions and millions of Americans believe.

Hand-Drawn Sound Hides Music, Voices On Pieces Of Paper
Share secret messages in public places with this unique graphical code
PhonoPaper is a unique new way to graphically represent sound, including the human voice, so that you can leave secret messages in even the most obvious of public places. Created by Alexander Zolotov, the idea is based on a Russian synthesizer that was created during the mid-1900s. Available for both iOS and Android, the app brings old technology back to life in a way that it applies to the modern world.
PhonoPaper's primary function is to convert sounds into images, which makes it easy for them to be re-read by the app. For those with an eye-for-detail, there is also the option to draw your message by hand, which not only allows for more experimentation, but a lot more mistakes in the process. One upside of PhonoPaper is that the code is analogue, which makes it almost immune to distortion caused by things like a poor resolution, lack of light, or wrinkled paper.
The original version of PhonoPaper was the ANS synthesizer, a musical instrument created by Russian engineer Evgeny Murzin which made it possible to obtain a visible image of a sound wave. It too, was able to work in the other direction andsynthesize a sound from an artificially drawn sound spectrogram.
As states on the project's website:
While the other similar programs are just fun toys, the Virtual ANS is a full-featured professional tool which allows you to create unusual, deep, atmospheric sounds. With this app you can draw a complete piece of music, or convert sound to image (sonogram) and then make some complex sonogram modifications.
For the time being however, just know that you can pass on coded voice messages and secret pieces of music using the app. Due to its niche nature, it would be easy to leave a message on billboards or posters without anyone being able to figure out the code. Textbooks, pieces of art, and other personal items are another option if your message happens to be a little more intimate.

Look outside the square for new GM
Newcastle business lobby group, the Newcastle Alliance is calling for the city council's next general manager to come from outside local government.
Phil Pearce's shock resignation yesterday is the latest in a string of changes in the top job at Newcastle City Council, which will soon have had five general managers in almost as many years.
The departure comes as Mr Pearce has been struggling to deal with council's finances and rein in a budget deficit of $20 million.
Newcastle Alliance Chairman, Paul Murphy says the recruitment process to find a new GM is now crucial.
"We must have an excellent general manager next, I think somebody who is not within the system of local council or government at this period of time," he said.
"I think somebody from outside the square will be essential for Newcastle, really to start getting us going because the 2013 year has got to be a year of action, not a year of decisions.
"It's got to be someone who will really grab the bull by the horns and get Newcastle going."
Lord Mayor Jeff McCloy agrees Newcastle's next GM should not have local government experience.
"It is a very large business," he said.
"It's a business that's turning over $200 million a year, and you have to have a business approach to managing such a big organisation.
"My personal views are that, yes, someone with experience in a large business, not necessarily from local government, would be an ideal candidate."
Mr Murphy says Mr Pearce's efforts to get the council's finances under control did not go far enough.
"I think that Phil has tried to implement some changes in the place that maybe weren't going to be as efficient and effective as what everybody would hope.
"We've had increases in rates that have been put forward that we all disagree with, and we need some efficiencies put into the place, and we need to get out of the financial mess that we're in.
"Unfortunately I think it starts and finishes at Phil's position, and most people have been unhappy with that, so probably that's why this decision has been made."
