and for supporting letters to the editor
• Watch a 3-minute video on the Priorities page
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Thank you for visiting my re-election campaign website. Please come back often before the November 3 election. There's much more information to come!
In 2011 and 2013, I asked for your support in my campaigns as an Independent candidate for City Council. For both elections, I promised to provide you a voice at the Council table and work hard to advance several key priorities:
- Fiscal responsibility – ensure your tax dollars are spent wisely
- Refocus on basic services, infrastructure reinvestment as City spending priorities
- Increase transparency & accountability; rigorously debate options at Council
- More balance in the decision and policy-making at City Hall
- Economic growth & development that preserves the character of our city and its neighborhoods
- Reasonable city policies that reflect broader community preferences
- Take lead in addressing key 2nd Ward issues and concerns
It's 2015, but my priorities have not changed. Real progress has been made these last four years, but much more needs to be done. I'm also running again because I've heard from many 2nd Ward and city residents that they appreciate my efforts to see that their tax dollars are well spent and to offer them an independent, common sense voice at City Hall.
Again in 2015, my Independent candidacy has the broad support of a number of Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
I have been honored to serve as your 2nd Ward representative and am hopeful that I have earned your continuing support on November 3rd. Please let me know YOUR issues and concerns. See the Contact tab on this website. I'd love to hear from you!
All the best,

What is your name?
Chihoung Chen ().
Where did you grow up?
I was born in Kaoshioung City (), Taiwan. When I was almost two years old, I moved to Jia-Yi (). I lived there until I graduated from high school. Then I moved to Taipei. I lived in Taipei until I graduated from college. Then I worked in an army hospital before going to America.
What year was it when you went to America?
When you were growing up, did your parents tell you stories about our ancestors?
When I was young, your grandfather wasn't the type to tell stories. Your grandmother was the one who told the stories. In China, family is very important. When your grandmother was very young, her mother died, so her father took care of her. On your grandfather's side, your great-great grandfather was born and raised in Hangzhou (). When he was twelve, the Taiping rebels attacked the city and killed all of their family members except for him, one brother and sister, and an aunt. After the rebellion ended, your great-great grandfather returned to Hangzhou and rebuilt the family. He married and had three sons. The youngest of the three was your great grandfather. Your great grandfather had several daughters and a son, who is your grandfather. During the Communist attack, he fled to Taiwan and eventually settled there.
Were there any legends?
No, they were all real things that happened. This is pretty important. If a family didn't have portraits, then they would take a paper with that person's , which is the person's year, month, date, and time of birth, and use it to represent that person. For example, you were born in 1985, so your year would be represented by . In China, they say that there is a time that is necessary for a person to be born. If a person's body can't be found, then their would be used to represent them.
When you were growing up, did you ever attend a ceremony to worship ancestors?
Do you remember what you did?
Well, we would offer food. We would burn three incense sticks, and kneel and kowtow three times. After each time, we would pour more wine to our ancestors. Then we would go outside and burn paper money, and pour wine around the burning paper money.
You mean you did it like how we do it?
Right, only the one we do is simplified. Do you know why it's simplified?
In the past, entire generations of a family would live together in a big house. But society changed, and those large families disappeared, and they split into smaller families. You know how your grandparents live with us? To us that seems pretty normal, but that's because we're still into Chinese traditions. Anyway, in the past people would live in a big house. The head of the family would have a very big responsibility because he has to take care of everybody in the family. In those big houses, there would be an ancestral hall. That's a special building used to worship ancestors. It housed the portraits and ancestral tablets. Normally, it would be used as a place for kids to learn, because schools weren't very common. Family meetings were also held there. This hall is pretty important. In the past, the ceremonies are a form of education. The kids would learn respect for their elders. The worship ceremonies were pretty important. But after the family sense split, the worship ceremonies would become more simplified. Our family tried to maintain as much as possible, so you would be able to pass it on to your children. To me, the process itself is a kind of education. It teaches you to respect where your coming from and to take the responsibility to pass the moral standard to the next generation.
Do you remember what you did at a funeral?
Well, when your grandfather (on Mother's side) died, do you remember how old you were?
Less than a year old.
You went back to Taiwan that time. He was also a good man. When you were born he was very happy. Then he got cancer and died. When we went back that time, we didn't know much about funerals, so we had other people who worked for the funeral home perform the procedures. They cleaned his body and changed his clothes. They asked us if we had any money. We gave them some money. The people working for the funeral home took the money and put it in your grandfathers's hand, then gave it to us. They said that your grandfather gave the money to us, and they wanted us to keep it forever. Then we invited Buddhist monks, and they chanted sutras.
This funeral was a combination of Taoism and Buddhism. After that the coffin was closed. A lot of people sent flowers. Your grandfather was the second most powerful general in the Taiwan navy. And then we went to the mountains. Traditionally, we would throw paper, but your grandmother was a principal of an elementary school, so we didn't throw that much as to not harm the environment. At the grave site, we waited. Chinese people believe that there must be a certain time for burial. It's all determined by a feng-shui master. He determines the time and the day and the angle. He has a special kind of compass and waited for the right time. I have one of those instruments. Haven't you seen it?
Your grandmother was extremely sad. Afterwards, we were grateful to those workers so we took them out to dinner. After several years, many people in Taiwan go back and collect the bones. It's not that popular among mainland Chinese, but it's done very often in Taiwan. After awhile, they go back and open up the coffin. The bones are then placed as to resemble the skeleton and they would spray wine on it. Some people would cremate the bones, while others would clean it, spray it with wine again, and put it into the coffin. The Chinese say that the more the body decomposed the better. If the body is not decomposed, then it's bad luck. It means the soul isn't willing to leave the body. Egyptians in old days want bodies to stay whole.
In some cases, if the body can't be found, then clothes or a paper with their would be placed in the coffin. If there's like a car crash and a person's in a coma, then people would take clothes and incense and call the soul back.
Have you been to only one ceremony to pick bones?
Yes. Actually, the one we went to is different from typical Chinese practice in Taiwan. Do you know why your great grandmother's grave was above the ground?
Because your grandfather was planning on returning to mainland China. Sometimes there are two coffins. The body is placed in a coffin, then that coffin is placed inside a bigger coffin. Chinese beliefs are different from those of other cultures.
Does our family have ancestor portraits?
No. In the past, there were shops with the body parts of the portraits all painted in. Once somebody died, family members would go to the shop and commission a painting and the artist would paint the head in. Nowadays, there are no ancestral halls to place the portraits. Your grandparents probably saw them.
Does our family have photos of our great grandparents?
Yes. We even have a picture of your great-great grandparents. Your great grandmother and great-great grandfather were devout Buddhists. They were strict vegetarians. One of your grandfather's sisters was also a strict vegetarian. Because of this, I started being Buddhist when I was in sixth grade.
Do you think there are any more of those shops you were talking about?
No. First of all, the houses were too small, and the Cultural Revolution probably destroyed them. The Communists also dug up many graves, including those of your great-great grandfather and the great grandfather on your grandmother's side. Many graves were dug. So, I try to teach you everything that I know about Chinese culture, so you can pass it on to your children.

(SPM Wire) Shopping for school wasn't this expensive when we were kids.
Families with school-age children are expected to spend $563.49 on
back-to-school merchandise this year, up 6.9 percent from last year's $527.08
average, according to new research.
According to the National Retail Federation's 2007 Consumer Intentions and
Actions Back-to-School survey, total back-to-school spending this year is
expected to reach a whopping $18.4 billion.
Blame all those computers, cell phones and iPods. According to the survey, the
electronics category will see the biggest increase in sales this year, with
families spending 13.0 percent more on electronics than last year ($129.24 vs.
"Electronics have evolved from luxuries to necessities, not only for college
students but also for their younger siblings," said NRF President and CEO Tracy
Mullin. "While some students may be pleading with mom and dad for an iPod or a
cell phone, parents are also investing in desktop or laptop computers,
educational software and printers to support their children's learning."
Sneakers and shoes also aren't coming cheap for kids these days. Footwear will
see a higher-than-average sales increase, with sales expected to rise 10.3
percent over last year ($108.42 vs. $98.34).
For their part, good old fashioned school supplies - think pens, paper and
protractors - similarly are commanding more of families' heard-earned cash. The
typical family is expected to spend $94.02 on school supplies, up from $86.22 a
year ago.
And where families do all this spending also is changing. As the Internet
continues to integrate itself into traditional shopping, more parents will head
online for back-to-school items this year. The percentage of parents who plan to
purchase merchandise online this year is expected to rise 40.8 percent, from
15.2 percent last year to 21.4 percent this year. Young parents between the ages
of 18-34 are the most likely to shop online for children's merchandise, with
nearly one-third of them planning to use the Web to find back-to-school items.
The good news for many parents is that pre-teens and teenagers will be pulling
out their own wallets for back-to-school spending this year. According to the
survey, parents say pre-teens will chip in approximately $15.38 of their own
money for back-to-school items, while teenagers will spend, on average, $31.19
of their own money.
Of course, even if they're not spending the most, they have quite a say in what
is bought: nearly two-thirds of parents say their children influence at least
half of the items that are purchased for back-to-school.
"Pre-teens and teenagers have a tremendous impact on their family's spending
decisions," said Phil Rist, Vice President of Strategy for BIGresearch, the
company which conducted this year's survey for the NRF. "From backpacks to
boots, parents often let their children choose which specific items to purchase,
so retailers will be marketing as much to kids as to their parents this year."

BLACKBURN Rovers boss Gary Bowyer says Jordan Rhodes is happy to stay at Ewood Park – insisting that the striker is 'not for sale'.
Rhodes has been linked with a host of clubs this summer, including Hull and West Ham, but Rovers have stated that they have had no official approaches for their leading goalscorer.
The striker is currently on international duty, preparing for Scotland's World Cup qualifier in Croatia tomorrow night, but Bowyer spoke to the forward before he went away and said Rhodes told him he was happy at Ewood Park.
"He's happy where he is," said the Rovers manager.
"I spoke to him and I just wished him all the best as he went away for the international game before he comes back to us. Jordan is not for sale."
Asked if that was at any price, Bowyer added: "For me it is, certainly the conversation I had with the owners was that he was not for sale.
"You read about interest from Hull in the papers and you're always going to get speculation about your best players.
"Manchester United couldn't hang on to Ronaldo, so every player has their price.
"There has been talk in the papers about Jordan and Martin Olsson as well, but these are some of our better players and we don't want to lose them."
Olsson was the subject of rejected offers from West Ham in January, and is away with the Sweden squad. He was only due to train after a knee injury, but now aims to play in Tuesday's game against the Faroe Islands.
Bowyer wants Ruben Rochina to return to Ewood Park after a loan spell at Real Zaragoza.
The Spanish side have an option to make the deal permanent, but Bowyer spoke with Rochina yesterday.
"I had a conversation with Ruben and I have outlined my plans to him," Bowyer said. "We will have to see what happens now but I have told him that he is a player I think has a lot of ability. He has a fantastic left foot.
"Of course there are areas of his game he can still improve, but he is still a young lad."

Cascara Quad is a dark, strong and surprisingly delicate ale made with dates and coffee cherries. Channeling the Trappist tradition, it's brewed with an ethereal malt bill, and spiced with the fruit of the coffee bean (cascara). The aroma brings dates, cherries and pipe tobacco right to the nose and builds layers with hints of spice and fruity Belgian yeast. Once on the palate, Cascara Quad starts swinging clove, fig and molasses. Each sip offers sweet warmth, deep complexity and fleeting dryness.
Hops: Hallertauer Hersbrucker-Nobel, Styrian-Golding-Nobel
Malts: Pale, Munich, Caramel Munich, Biscuit, Black
Fruits/Spice: Belgium Amber Candy Sugar, Date Sugar, Cascara Tea
Body: Medium-Heavy
Aroma: Ripe figs, raisins, plums, black cherries, toffee, chocolate, pipe tobacco, rich Corinthian leather and leather bound books.
Mouthfeel: Starts big and smooth, finishes still smooth yet the cascara tea and higher ABV will bring a nice dry warm end to this epic novel.
Flavor: Sweet and rich, huge complex overall taste.
Visual: Brooding, dark, cloudy berry brown with tan head.
Brewer: New Belgium Brewing Company
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Alcohol Content: 10%
Seasonal: No

Teacher wins appeal for review
Gregory R. Norfleet
· News · November 09, 2012
Terry Christiansen, fired by the West Branch Board of Education, last week saw an appeals court reverse a Johnson County court decision which upheld disciplinary action against the former middle school teacher and coach.
The disciplinary action originated from the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners, which denied judicial review of his case, which was tied to how he handled an unruly student back in 2008.
Christiansen appealed, and Johnson County Judge Robert Sosalla upheld the IBEEs decision in August 2011, affirming it in its entirety. In September 2011, Christiansen appealed again, to the Iowa Court of Appeals, which ruled in his favor on Oct. 31, 2012.
The case now returns to Johnson County.
Phone calls to Christiansens attorney, Michael Pitton, were not returned as of deadline.
Appellate Judge Larry Eisenhauer issued the opinion that vacated the Johnson County decision.
Christiansen, who was also a football coach and bus driver, worked for the school district for six years before he was terminated Feb. 12, 2009. According to court records, Christiansen was about to drive a bus of pupils on Oct. 22, 2008, when one of the boys allegedly became disruptive and gave Christiansen the finger and refused to leave the bus.
Christiansen then went to remove the eighth-grade boy from the bus and allegedly got rough with him, leaving an unspecified mark on the boys arm. He was charged with simple assault, and Pitton argued Christiansen used only the amount of force allowed by law to bring the situation under control. A Cedar County jury agreed and Christiansen was acquitted.
In the IBEE case, his teaching certification was suspended for 90 days, though he had already been fired from West Branch. Christiansen felt there was a lack of evidence and that the school board conducted a biased investigation. The IBEE disagreed, which prompted the appeal.

[Plugin: WP Flickr Background] Images from Flickr not loading (Firewall/PHP setting issue?)
I was developing a new website for some months and use the WP Flickr Background plugin. On my local developing system the plugin works fine. But now installed on the server the plugin seems not to be able to connect to Flickr. If I try to add a photo to a gallery nothing happens. I see the status bar working and working but no photo appears. I copied the values of my local MySQL DB of the "wp-flickr-background" field to the one on my server what made the pictures appear in the gallery (in the dashboard, the thumbnails). But these pictures still don't show up on my website and I'm still not able to add more to the gallery.
May this be a problem with PHP or firewall settings? I already checked the differences between my two systems but couldn't find anything.
My server uses an almost fresh Plesk 10.1.1/CentOS installation and a WordPress 3.1 setup with multiple Blogs.

{hello + a few things}
Thursday 22nd July, 2010
by Roséline
. . . dashing out the door — sexy tousled hair, a light linen summer dress, suede heels and coral lips — but first, a quick hello and two new & lovely things:
* summertime: a dreamy & languid light
* two lovely things: bits of green
{p.s.} isn't the miu miu bow satchel in palest pink the loveliest thing?
{image: the cherry blossom girl via beautiful things to share}
This bag is what being a girl is all about! <3
Coral lips is the perfect color between the lustrous red and alluring pink. I sport the same color too though not on lipstick.
I thought the bag was familiar and it is the very same I saw on Alix's blogs. Yes, it's worth every bit of jealousy.
I do adore the satchel and the way it was styled.
xxx Dj
I have a serious crush on that Miu Miu bow satchel. I'd settle for a summer fling though. =)
That bag just stole my heart.
To first "comment" by Erika TiptoeButterfly, don't think about it, get it – it's so beautiful. I don't think you would regret it. I love this bag. Thanks for sharing

Kyle Busch Survives Late Restart For Nationwide Win At The Brickyard

Kyle Busch Survives Late Restart For Nationwide Win At The Brickyard
By Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Even with a car that was clearly the class of the field, Kyle Busch had some anxious moments in the closing laps of Saturday's Indiana 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
That Busch beat runner-up Brian Scott to the finish line by 2.141 seconds belies the difficulty Busch experienced on the final restart on Lap 95 of 100, when Joey Logano squeezed Busch into Turn 1 and allowed Scott to take the lead.
After harrying Scott for nearly three laps, Busch finally made the winning pass, putting an exclamation point on a dominant performance that saw him lead 92 laps.
The victory was Busch's eighth of the NNS season in 15 starts and the 59th of his career, extending his own series record. Earlier in the day, Busch had won his 31st NNS pole, breaking a tie with Mark Martin for the all-time lead in that category.
"I had no friends around me on the restart," Busch said of the final run. "On the restart before, I had (Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Matt) Kenseth behind me, and he pushed me and got me clear of the 22 (Logano). There on that final restart, (Kevin) Harvick was hanging back a little bit trying to get a runâ¦
"I got down into (Turn) 1 and just lost all grip. I just slid. I was turning left, turning right, trying not to get into Logano. I got into him and we chased up the race track. I was watching my mirror at the same time, trying to see if anybody was coming, and here comes the 2 (Scott) out of nowhere, and he got by us there. It made it tough to pass him back."
Eventually, Busch got Scott loose and seized the opening, leaving Scott to second-guess his approach to the last six laps.
"I feel like he was able to get by me because I was a little too cautious on corner entry," Scott said. "I was really focused on making sure I got as low as I could and not give him any clean air. I thought that was going to be more beneficial.
"I over-slowed just a little bit into (Turn) 1 and allowed him to get up to my bumper and hit me and get me loose and get me up the race track and get back by me, unfortunately. But it was a lot of fun leading here at Indianapolis there toward the end, and I would give anything to be able to rewind, go back and do it over again."
Scott's second-place run was the best of his career in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Logano came home third, followed by Brian Vickers and Harvick.
As the highest finishing NASCAR Nationwide regular qualified for the fourth leg of Nationwide's Dash4Cash, Vickers claimed the final $100,000 bonus and won an additional $100,000 for Pam Nabors of Santa Cruz, Calif., the fan who was paired with Vickers in the Dash4Cash finale.
Nabors is a second cousin to actor Jim Nabors, who is a fixture at the Indianapolis 500 with his rendition of "Back Home Again in Indiana."
Busch was on pit road on Lap 65 when NASCAR called the second caution of the race because of fluid from Sam Hornish Jr.'s overheating engine.
Busch, however, stayed on the lead lap and regained the top spot when all the lead-lap cars ahead of him came to pit road for service under the yellow. With many drivers who came to pit road under yellow opting for new right-side tires only -- among them Trevor Bayne, Vickers, Harvick and Paul Menard -- Busch, on four new tires, led the field to a restart on Lap 71 with a tire advantage over most of the competition.
Logano, who had come to pit road under green on Lap 64, kept pace with Busch for two laps after the restart, but by Lap 75, the driver of the No. 54 Toyota had opened an advantage of more than one second. Busch's lead had grown to more than two seconds by Lap 84, when Nelson Piquet Jr. brushed the wall and dropped debris on the track to cause the third caution.
A multicar incident on Lap 89 caused the final caution and set up the six-lap run to the finish.
Hornish's engine woes led to a 34th-place finish and cost the former Indy 500 winner the series lead. Austin Dillon, who ran 12th, took over the top spot in the standings by six points over Regan Smith, who came home 19th.

So today is my half birthday. It's exactly six months since my last birthday and six months until my next one. I'm really not sure what made me think about it when I was dating a bill this morning, but nonetheless... it's true. I am exactly 24.5 years old today.
This realization also prompted me to start singing that song from the cartoon version of Alice in Wonderland. You know the one... "The Unbirthday Song." Granted, I had it in my head for at least an hour before I remembered it's not a half-birthday song, but I suppose the exchange of words still works.
24 has been pretty decent so far. It's still a little strange at times when I think that I'm technically in my mid-20's now. (When did that happen?) I'm feeling good about my life. I've done a lot for a gal who is exactly 24.5 today, and I know I still have a lot to look forward to in the coming days, months and years. I think that's something worth celebrating.

By Army Sgt. Cashmere C. JeffersonFebruary 18, 2011
FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii - Building resilience in Soldiers is the task for more than 120 students scheduled to graduate Feb. 23 from the 10-day Master Resilience Training course held at Fort Shafter.
The Army definition of resilience is the ability to grow and thrive in the face of challenges and bounce back from adversity. The graduates of this course will be instilling these attributes into their units.
The MRT course is one pillar of the Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program with the mission to increase resilience and enhance the performance of the force by developing five dimensions of strength: physical, emotional, social, spiritual and family.
CSF's vision is an Army of balanced, healthy, self-confident Soldiers, Family members, and civilians able to not only bounce back from adversity, but also to grow and thrive in the face of persistent stressors and challenges," said Capt. Zachary J. Heinrich, the MRT mobile training team officer in charge.
"MRT breaks away from the traditional means of instruction by teaching resilience, thinking skills and coping strategies through emphasizing how to think, not just what to think. Scientists call this metacognition, or thinking about thinking. This allows for adaptive, flexible, creative, and effective leaders, team members, employees and Family members," said Heinrich.
CSF's approach to the challenges that Soldiers face is not reactive but preventative and the MRTs won't replace any programs that the Army has in place to take care for the force, but will be focusing on the six core competencies of MRT: self-awareness, self-regulation, optimism, mental agility, strength of character and connections, said Heinrich.
Leaders in this course have proven themselves fully mission capable said Col. Tom Vail, deputy director of CSF.
"The Officers and NCOs of this course have already shown great potential to develop resilience programs and provide coping strategies to further strengthen the force," said Vail.
Lt. Gen. Benjamin R. Mixon, commander of U.S. Army Pacific, joined the MRT group on Feb. 15 to emphasize what MRT means to the Army and it's future.
"MRT is about maintaining and enhancing the combat readiness of the force," said Mixon.

LG 42LH50 42-Inch HDTV
LG Electronics 42LH50TechHive Rating
It would be easy to confuse the LG 42LH50 ($1100 as of 10/1/09) with its sibling, the 42LH55. Only one numeral separates the model numbers. These handsome 42-inch LCD TVs look alike, too, both sporting transparent edges that provide a chic accent to the usual shiny black bezel, broken up by an unusual dip in the lower-right edge where the power-on light glows blue or red.
However, the 42LH50 is the one you want if you're looking for a connected TV--and it's well connected indeed, with built-in support not only for Yahoo Widgets but also video-on-demand from Netflix, Vudu, and YouTube. Add the set's above-average image quality (it ranked in the top quarter of our field) and generally superior feature set and usability, and the 42LH50 is a winning combination for a moderate price.
The LG experience starts out a bit inauspiciously; you won't find a quick-start guide, per se, in the box. But it turns out that the skimpy printed manual functions as a quick-start guide, so what's really missing is a full-blown printed manual--and that omission is one of this HDTV's few weaknesses. LG does, however, offer an excellent, well-illustrated manual on an included CD, and this manual is available online, too.
Inputs are easily accessible, and the first-time wizard guides you through language, home versus retail mode, time setting, and network setup before beginning its automatic scan for channels. Network setup proved nearly instantaneous and effortless with the set connected via ethernet to a router with DHCP enabled, and in my tests it prompted an immediate but painless software update.
The menu button brings up eight simple icons for fine-tuning everything from channel listings (you can choose to exclude channels when you're browsing with your remote) to settings for picture, sound, timer/clock, network, inputs, and parental controls. An Options icon leads to several miscellaneous functions, including settings for allowing the remote to control other devices and for labeling inputs.
Preset picture modes include standard, vivid, natural, cinema, sport, game, and an Intelligent Sensor option that promises to adjust for ambient lighting. If you'd rather make tweaks yourself, you can adjust the backlight, contrast, brightness, sharpness, color, and tint settings to your liking through a handy picture wizard that gives you images to match; once you're done, you can save those adjustments in either of two Expert modes.
In our juried tests in the PC World Labs, the 42LH50 scored fairly close to its 42LH55 sibling, earning above-average scores on all counts. Its 120Hz refresh rate probably helped it on sharpness and detail, but on our motion tests its results were only average. This HDTV also did well on color and brightness/contrast in our tests, although not as well as competing Samsung and Sony sets.
The audio options include what LG calls Clear Voice II technology, which basically subdues loud background noise to help you hear spoken words. In addition to the usual treble, bass, and balance controls, LG also provides audio presets: standard, music, cinema, sport, and game. Both the overall audio quality and the surround-sound simulation were quite good, but not the best in our test group. With The Phantom of the Opera on Blu-ray played at full volume, we heard very little distortion (although the sound wasn't particularly loud).
The 42LH50 lets you view .jpg images and play .mp3 audio files on either a USB thumb drive or a shared network folder using the Common Internet File System (which Windows Vista supports). You can set up music on a thumb drive to play while you're running a slideshow.
The remote control for the 42LH50 is one of the best I've seen, with all of the buttons clearly labeled and appropriately laid out (although a backlight would have been nice). You can program it to control other electronics, too.
A Quick Menu button near the top makes accessing several key settings (including aspect ratio, picture and audio mode, and closed captioning) a breeze--the settings appear as icons on a wheel that you can scroll through. A dedicated Input button makes switching between video sources easy, and the remote also has an energy-saving button for toggling between an automatic setting (based on ambient light) or manually choosing from three levels of power consumption. LG says that the default power setting for home use conforms to Energy Star 3 requirements.
Pressing the Netcast button brings up a menu for the on-demand video services. Setting up Netflix takes only a few minutes (you must log in on a PC to link your account to your set). Afterward, when you log in on the set, you see the first few items in your queue that are available on demand. I did not try the Vudu service, which lets you buy or rent movies and TV shows.
You can sign on to your YouTube account to view favorites. The videos can display in full screen (though the quality is poor, as you'd expect when viewing YouTube on a large, high-resolution screen) or alongside information about the video, including ratings and how many times it has been viewed.
The remote also has a dedicated button for accessing Yahoo Widgets. You create a user profile with up to 8 of the 11 (at this writing) available widgets, including ones for Flickr and Twitter. (You can swap widgets in and out of your profile.)
The LG 42LH50 is a competitively priced HDTV, and has little to dislike. Though this model may not sit at the very top of the heap for image and sound, it comes darn close--and it is among the leaders in design, features, and ease of use.

Average Review:
Make sure you get every drop out of the mixing bowl with our Triangle Silicone Spatula. The bendable silicone easily curves around corners and has a flat base to ensure you can really scrape down the bottom of your mixing bowl so none of your product gets wasted. Also works well for flattening out the tops of soap loafs. 9-1/2" in length.
We recommend hand washing your silicone products to make sure they last a lifetime.
Easily scraps a bowl clean. Great tool to have. Would recommend.
I couldn't wait to try out this spatula and it works even better than I thought it would! The perfect size to smooth down a loaf mold and the corners scrape out all of the soap batter so there is no waste. I've used this spatula in round and square containers and it works great in both. I will be purchasing more for soapmaking and for use in my kitchen as well. Another great BB product. :)

This morning, like pretty much every morning for the past decade, I downed a judicious collection of nutritional supplements along with my breakfast. Recently, however, I was quite alarmed to read a report from the government's Food Standards Agency (FSA) which contained seemingly dire warnings about the potential for food supplements to put us at risk of a range of undesirable conditions including anaemia, osteoporosis and neurological damage. Taken at face value, the report gives the impression that vitamin pill popping is akin to playing Russian roulette: while we may get away unscathed, there's always a risk that dosing up might have catastrophic consequences for our health.
I subscribe to the view that anything we swallow, natural or otherwise, has at least some potential to do harm. However, a thorough reading of the FSA report reveals that its recommendations are somewhat overcautious, and often out of step with both science and common sense. For example, though vitamin C is non-toxic, very high doses can cause loosening of the bowels in some individuals. So the FSA has recommended that no more than 1,000mg (1g) be consumed each day. This seems unnecessarily draconian to me. After all, many of us will be familiar with the gastrointestinal upset that can come after a curry, but I don't see government agencies clamouring to clamp down on the amount of vindaloo we consume.
Another nutrient that caught the FSA's eye was vitamin B6. High doses are said to have the potential to bring on neurological symptoms. A stack of research suggests that humans can take at least 200mg of B6 per day. Despite this, the FSA recommends a maximum daily dose of 10mg but fails to quote any good evidence to justify why. (Curiously, in the US, the maximum is 100mg.)
What seems to have got lost in the recent hullabaloo about supplements is a quite persuasive argument for their use. Studies show a decline in the levels of key nutrients such as calcium, iron and magnesium found in our fresh produce over the past 60 years. The government's own statistics show that UK adolescents are unlikely to get the recommended amounts of nutrients such as calcium, zinc or magnesium from their diets.
In addition, significant numbers of men and women eat diets deficient in vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and zinc.
Coupled with this is a body of evidence that shows that taking nutritional supplements might reduce the risk of conditions such as heart disease, stroke, breast cancer, colon cancer and cataract. There is evidence that they can reduce susceptibility to infection, and have profound effects on mood and behaviour. All in all, it seems that taking additional vitamin and minerals is a valuable adjunct to a healthy diet. I, for one, won't hesitate to get my supplementary benefits each morning.

poss its coming out of rad overflow while your driving. how old is the rad cap,maybe repl and see if that helps
I have a 1995 Z71 regular cab 5.7l. same problem. Same symptoms. No visible leaks.
possible reservior leak?
Hi i have a 1998 Chevy 1500 4.3 V6 its got 127xxx miles it recently started having the same symptoms as listed above (resevoir drains, No visible leaks, oil looks good ON DIPSTICK etc.) except now when i start it up from cold (around 30-40 degrees outside temp) it makes a low pitched "ticking" sound under the hood my friend said its lifter noise and not to worry about as it doesnt puff out white smoke anywhere but i need too get it figured out before the snow flies in about 2 weeks. Thanks!!

3D Maxwell Solution for Optical IC Interconnects
Y.L. Le Coz (Task Supervisor, firstname.lastname@example.com), R.B. Iverson (Research Associate),

We are attempting to create a new, stochastic (Monte-Carlo/random-walk) algorithm that efficiently characterizes 3D electromagnetic wave propagation within materially heterogeneous dielectric domains. This task represents a first critical step towards practical IC-CAD algorithms for 3D electromagnetic propagation within massively coupled on-chip optical interconnects. Stochastic algorithms generally possess a number of advantages compared with conventional deterministic numerical field-solution methods (FEM, BI, spectral). Stochastic algorithms require no numerical mesh; they are computationally efficient in massively coupled, high-dimensionality problems; they allow "dial-in" solution accuracy; and they usually maintain full parallelism. Our theoretical approach begins with the time Fourier transform of the 3D Maxwell equations, in 4-vector potential representation, subject to an initial condition of an injected impulsive "wave packet". We then, by means of perturbation theory, derive a series of coupled Poisson and heat equations for 4-potential temporal impulse-response (IR) moments. Employing either finite- or infinite-domain Green's function integral solution techniques, we, when necessary, solve the coupled moment equations stochastically. We have discovered, importantly, the existence of, and the value of, non-vanishing "surface-residual" terms in our Green's function second IR-moment solution. The 4-potential temporal moments concisely portray the propagative behavior (delay, cross talk, attenuation, dispersion) exhibited by Maxwell's equations. In addition, we have preliminarily validated our proposed theoretical approach numerically—in the limiting case of a homogeneous dielectric domain. Using a stochastic Monte Carlo integration scheme for a spherically symmetric benchmark problem, we have numerically evaluated the second IR moment of a 4-potential component. Benchmark geometry consisted of a spatial and temporal impulsive source located at the origin of a dielectric sphere of unity dimensionless radius; embedded in quasi-infinite cube domain of, possibly, different dielectric value. Magnetic permeability was conveniently normalized to unity. At 10 9 Monte Carlo samples and 2.5 (dimensionless) radius, we obtained an order 1% statistical standard error when reverting to a unity sphere-to-domain dielectric ratio (the homogeneous case). As the dielectric ratio was decreased below unity, systematic, expected, qualitative variation in numerical solution was additionally observed. Lastly, we, as well, have obtained an associated spherically symmetric benchmark solution for first IR moment and its spatial gradient. Here, dielectric sphere radius was 1.5. The product of magnetic permeability, sphere radius, and sphere-to-domain dielectric-constant difference was conveniently normalized to the product of 4 p and the domain dielectric constant. The commercial random-walk solver we used agreed excellently with the known analytical result over a 1.5 to 5.0 radius.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Having her Vomit if after two hours can do more harm than good. We do not use barium to induce vomiting in animals. Your best bet is to give some canned pumpkin to help expedite the passing of stool. The pumpkin is a natural fiber and helps the stool to pass naturally without giving medications. If this does not work, where she starts vomiting, having constipation, abdominal discomfort, or diarrhea, then at that time I would see the Vet again for a hands on exam and the proper medication to help it pass. I would suggest taking her out on a leash and doing pooh patrol to see if anything passes in the stool. Joan
I misunderstood. The barium is to see on an x ray if the pieces of spatula are there. The vomiting is done with a drop in the eye and works very well. I would certainly trust the Vet, if this is what they are going to do in office. I would never do this type of procedure at home and the Vet may give something to move the stool as they have the proper medications to so, right in the office. They have gut motility drugs and medication to help pass the stool. I thought this was going to be done at home, whioch would have created problems. Since your baby is at the Vet, this should go smootly and she should be fine under controlled conditions. Joan
Thanks Joan. The Vet said my dog will be kept at the hospital till tomorrow at least to conduct a series of xray to see her digestive movement over the course.
I read so much online already Vomitting vs Passing stool. I wanted to get a second opinion if the vomitting is really safe or not because i read that vomitting can makes her esophagus block(depending on the foreign object she ate). The doctor suspected she chewed into small pieces thats safe enough to do vomit procedure.
Does this sound right course of treatment to you Joan???
PS im sorry English is not my first language, but im trying to explain as clear as possible.
When done in a Veterinary setting, the procedure is very safe and I am sure they will do the x rays first to see what is happening. As I said this type of procedure if done at home holds some problems, but when a trained professional Veterinarian is doing the procedure, if is as safe as possible. I am sure they will take the best care of your baby and she will be just fine. Joan

Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham Support Michael's Atheletic Endeavors
Stepping out with the family to support his son's soccer team, Mark Wahlberg headed to Michael's game in Los Angeles on Saturday (November 3).
The scruffy "Ted" actor wore a T-shirt, khaki shorts, and crisp white tennis shoes, as he posed with the team for picture day and cozied up to wife Rhea Durham.
Recently, the 41-year-old star's producing company Leverage started working on a new deal to bring a French action film to life in English.
The 2010 flick "Point Blank" follows a male nurse forced to break a murderer out of prison to save his pregnant, kidnapped wife. Leverage is teaming up with Working Title to remake the film in English. It's unclear whether Mark will star in the reboot.

The flywheel (a massive disk or ring used for storing energy as rotational kinetic energy) of an old fashioned steam engine was running at a constant angular speed, but then at t=0 the steam was shut off, and friction due to the bearings and the air gradually bring it to rest. During the spin-down, the angular velocity was observed to be ω(t) = 39.3s-1 - (1.98*10-4s-3)t2

Fiji Vice-President convicted over coup oaths
Page Tools
Fiji's Vice-President, Ratu Jope Seniloli, was convicted yesterday of unlawfully swearing in ministers in a rebel government during a coup by armed nationalists four years ago.
Fiji's High Court found Seniloli guilty of administering unlawful oaths during the May 2000 coup that toppled the government of Mahendra Chaudhry.
Following the verdict, Seniloli was driven away to jail in the same prison truck that was used to escort the coup leader, George Speight, after he was convicted of treason.
Speight, a failed businessman, is serving a life sentence on a prison island for the coup, which he said was to reclaim power for indigenous Fijians from the government of Chaudhry, an ethnic Indian.
Judge Nazhad Shameem said she would sentence Seniloli today. He faces up to eight years in jail.
His conviction could have serious implications for Fiji's leadership if the 85-year-old President, Ratu Josefa Iloilo, dies and leaves a power vacuum. Ratu Iloilo, who came to office after the 2000 coup, suffers from Parkinson's disease and several other illnesses, and regularly requires treatment in Australia.
"The verdict of the High Court has proven that the Fijian legal system and the Fijian people now stand by the rule of law and not by the rule of the gun," the prosecutor, Mark Tedeschi, said.
Police and soldiers guarded the court in the capital, Suva, but there was no sign of unrest.
Speight and a handful of gunmen stormed the parliament in Suva on May 19, 2000, and took Chaudhry and most members of his government hostage.
The next day Seniloli, a Fijian chief, swore in a rebel administration but Speight never gained control of Suva or the rest of the country.
The military declared martial law while Mr Chaudhry and his ministers were still being held hostage and appointed an interim government.
The role of vice-president is largely ceremonial but Seniloli is also a ratu, or leader, of one of Fiji's influential chiefly tribes, which have an important role in Fijian life.

Hello and Introduction
Been registered and lurking for a while; just signed-in and they suggested I make my first post and say hello. So, Hello.
I live in southern New Jersey, have been fly fishing only ten years as I didn't know any better for the first twenty-five; tie my own flies, have built a rod (was kinda tough with old eyes and size A thread!), fish mainly warmwater for panfish and bass, pickerel, yellow perch, crappie. I belong to a TU Chapter and usually make 5-7 trips to PA trout streams with the club for trout.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.......
Regards all, Jim Sentell
Re: Hello and Introduction
Welcome to the group!
I actually worked in Camden for a little while, but found a much more dangerous situation over at Corson's Inlet. (Sand bars move, and they may not be there when you need to wade back in. Had to swim a bit. Surf's pretty cold in November.)
Re: Hello and Introduction

Re: Hello and Introduction
Atta boy Jim, stick to it!! Welcome to the forum.
Re: Hello and Introduction
Spent my high school years in NJ. Did school in Millburn and summers in Bricktown. All sorts of fishing around for you. Welcome to posting.
Re: Hello and Introduction
Hi Jim,
Welcome to the forum. I understand your problem with your eyes. I don't do anything with out magnification these days. I use my computer glasses with some type of Mag-Eyes.
Re: Hello and Introduction
Hi Jim
Welcome from a fellow New Jerseyite. I'm in Central Jersey & mostly fish the Muskie. I do hit S.H. once in a while but I'm just really getting started FF in the salt.
The Pequest State Hatchery is having their annual open house this weekend & it's a good show with a lot going on , not just for trouters either. I'll be working the kids fishing pond so if you make it there look me up.
Re: Hi All!
Hi everybuddy,
I am new to fly fishing so if anybody has some tips let me know. See ya!
Re: Hello and Introduction
You sound like my kinda' guy. I love the warm water fish also, and I envy you being that close to PA and those wonder trout waters I've read and heard so much about. Welcome! Take care.

The number of tests on my current project is getting close to the 2000 mark (1504 unit and 351 integration) and running the full suite can take 4+ minutes to execute.
When you're trying to do TDD and want to run all tests before pushing your code out to the shared repository, this length of time can really bog you down when it happens a number of times per day.
There are a number of tests that we need to go back in and refactor to be faster, but I wanted to see how much of a boost I could get by running unit and integration tests in parallel.
With 2 threads (one for unit, one for integration) the best case would be taking 50% of the time that it takes to run serially. That would only happen if my unit and integration tests took the same amount of time to run. For my tests, I was able to get a 39% speed improvement (with the integration tests taking a bit longer than the unit tests).
Here's the script:
(just save it as splitTests.groovy in your path and make it executable, then run it in your grails project dir)
#! /usr/bin/env groovy
Map exitStatuses = [:].asSynchronized()
def currentDir() { 'pwd'.execute().text.trim() }
def getGrailsPropertyArgs(group) {
def testDir = "${currentDir()}/test-$group"
].join(" ")
synchronized out(group, message) {
println("${group.padLeft(12, ' ')}: $message")
integration: 'integration:',
unit: 'unit:'
].collect { testGroup, args ->
Thread.start {
def command = "grails ${getGrailsPropertyArgs(testGroup)} test-app $args"
out testGroup, command
exitStatuses[testGroup] = command.execute().with { proc ->
proc.in.eachLine { line -> out testGroup, line }
out testGroup, "exit value: ${exitStatuses[testGroup]}"
}.each { it.join() }
def failingGroups = exitStatuses.findAll { it.value }
if (!failingGroups) {
println "All tests were successful!"
} else {
failingGroups.each { failingGroup, exitStatus ->
out(failingGroup, "WARNING: '$failingGroup' exit status was $exitStatus")
The script is pretty simple. It creates one thread for unit tests, and one for integration tests. It then creates a grails test-app command that includes a number of grails system properties necessary to define unique target and working directories so the threads don't step all over each other.
As the threads run, they spit their output to the command line with a prefix on each line showing which thread it came from, ex:
integration: Running test com.bloomhealthco.domain.ProductTests...PASSED
unit: Running test com.bloomhealthco.domain.QuestionUnitTests...PASSED
integration: Running test com.bloomhealthco.domain.TransactionalFalseTests...PASSED
unit: Running test com.bloomhealthco.domain.RateAreaUnitTests...PASSED
unit: Running test com.bloomhealthco.domain.RateDependentTypeUnitTests...PASSED
integration: Running test com.bloomhealthco.filter.EmployerFiltersTests...PASSED
unit: Running test com.bloomhealthco.domain.RateUnitTests...PASSED
When it's done, it checks the exit status code of each individual run. If any failed, the splitTests script will enumerate the ones that failed and will also return a non-zero exit status code.
The first time you run this, it will probably be slow, as each thread is compiling it's own set of class files into it's own "target" directory. After the initial compilation, things should be a lot quicker for the 2nd run.
If you've only got a couple of tests, you likely won't see any speedup from this as the fixed grails cost for boostrapping the environment in each thread will outweigh the parallelization of tests.
If you've got other types of tests that you're running, it's easy to just add other phases into the existing threads (or create new threads for them), just by adding to the map that we spin through.
I'll probably dig into the grails internals some more to see if some of it can be refactored to make running tests in parallel easier. The latest versions of JUnit have some support for running tests in parallel, but it isn't easily achieved with the current grails test/environment bootstrap.
My long term goal is to create a grails script that lets the user specify a number of worker threads to be used for testing. Those workers are then fed test classes to chew on and the load would be distributed better than it is currently.

(Proposition 54)
When Californians go to the polls on October 7 to decide whether to remove Gov. Gray Davis from office, they will also vote on a measure that if approved, would prevent the state, including public colleges, from collecting and using information on race and ethnicity.
Known as CRECNO (Classification by Race, Ethnicity, Color or National Origin) and backed by Ward Connerly, the University of California regent who successfully promoted referendums in California and Washington to ban affirmative action, the measure was originally scheduled to appear on the primary election ballot in March 2004.
But under state law, the measure must be on the next statewide ballot, which is now slated for October 7. The special recall election was certified for the ballot recently. The shift left supporters and opponents of the referendum only11 weeks to mount their campaigns.
CABWHP interviewed four graduates of the Advocate Training Program - Karen Anthony, Adesuwa Ogiamien, Gina Raymond- Embry and Lois Newell about their experience.
CABWHP: What made you want to be a part of the Advocate Training Program?
Karen: I was interested in learning more about policy issues.
Gina: Well, it.s funny how life evolves and unfolds like you need it to. I had been looking previously for opportunities to work with people who are committed to the issues in under served communities. So when I received the information on the Advocate Training Program it was ideal. I thought, .Wow this is interesting. . Since I have been studying psychology and have been involved in the social sciences, I thought .how does one become involved in public policy issues?. This was the ideal opportunity for me to gain additional knowledge to enable me to apply my social studies background in a way that was going to influence public policy.
CABWHP: Has the training helped you? If yes how?
K: I learned how to advocate.
Adesuwa: The training has definitely helped me... By exposing me to legislative processes that exist in California and what you can do if you were interested or passionate about pursuing bills and legislation that affect the health of Black women and the delivery of healthcare for Black women. The different trainings and the different speakers who came in showed us what the legislative process was and what to do if we wanted to get a bill passed. G: The way it helped me most is by validating my observation, that there are other people out there that are interested and committed and concerned about the same things that concern me. Another way that it has been helpful is that it has successfully connected me and has provided me with a support group and additional resources. I know how to go about writing a press release now. I can actually sit down and generate goals and know how to go about achieving them. Lois: Yes, I know how to reach policy makers. to gather and read background information and learn how to approach policymakers.

India: Crescent Over Hyderabad
Violent protest led to arrest of three rationalists in controversy over a book with Rushdie and Taslima texts
Matcha Laxmaiah, a poet, rationalist and civil rights activist in Andhra Pradesh, who is well known under the pen-name Kratikar, has been arrested in the last week of February for compiling and publishing a book with the title 'Crescent over the World – Boon or Silent Holocaust'. The book, allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of Muslims, contains articles written by Salman Rushdie, Taslima Nasrin, Aayan Hirshi Ali, Ibn Warrack and other scholars criticising Islam. Following Krantikar's arrest in Khammam (AP), the police also arrested Dr N. Innaiah from Hyderabad, chairman of CFI India, and Andhra Pradesh rationalist leader Subba Rao, whose names were printed as distributors in the book. Dr Innaiah, who himself has translated and published books of some of the authors concerned in Telugu earlier, denied any connection to Krantikar's publication in a press conference, after he was released on bail on 4th March.
Krantikar did not obtain bail and is still in jail. The charge sheets against him and the two alleged distributors are expected on 11 March 2010 in Khammam.
Meantime, in Khammam, the police seized some thousand copies of the two volume book from different places. The police commissioner announced, they would try to get hold of those copies already despatched to other districts also.
The arrests followed massive and violent protests by fundamentalists in Khammam and in Hyderabad. It is alleged that the book contains excerpts from Rushdie's Satanic Verses and Taslima Nasris's Lajja as well as some of the controversial Danish "Mohammed-Cartoons". The Satanic Verses are banned in India, Lajja (though claimed to be banned) is not. The issue was raised in the AP state assembly by the fundamentalist All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM, 'Council of United Muslims'). Congress Chief Minister K. Rosaiah – with an eye on the Muslim electorate – submitted to their demands and gave green light for "stern action". Though the radical AIMIM is small in the national scale, it is wielding considerable power in Hyderabad. Base for the single seat in the Indian Parliament that they are holding since twenty five years, is their stronghold in the Charminar area of the Muslim old city of Hyderabad. Here, they have absolute majority, commanding around 75 per cent of the votes.
The AIMIM has recently made Hyderabad a dangerous place. In August 2007, three MLAs of the AIMIM led a physical attack on Taslima Nasrin with bouquets, flower pots and chairs during a book launch at the Hyderabad Press Club, organized by Dr. Innaiah.
To prevent fresh outbrakes of violence, the police sounded an alert on Hyderabad and Khammam and deployed additional forces in Hyderabad's old city, where 'imams' or clerics, during their Friday sermons, condemned the author and those who supported him.

ATHENS — The UGA Performing Arts Center will present Tango Buenos Aires at 8 p.m. Saturday in Hodgson Concert Hall.
The company's program, entitled Fire and Passion of Tango, will feature dancers accompanied by an onstage orchestra playing traditional tango instruments: piano, guitar, violin, double bass, and bandoneón.
The Washington Post praised Tango Buenos Aires for its "repeatedly swirling, fast-paced tapestries of movement, laced with proud postures and sensual couplings."
Founded by the famous composer and director, Osvaldo Requena, the company has become one of Argentina's great cultural exports, known throughout the world.
Tango Buenos Aires began touring the world in 1987.
In 1991, the company performed in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand and introduced the tango to Indonesia. In 1993, it was host to a series of master classes and residencies with Chinese dancers at the Dance University of Beijing.
In 2005, Julian Vat, Argentina's most prolific composer and leading musician,assumed the title of music director of Tango Buenos Aires.

There is some flower here that the pompous feverfew doesn't care to associate with.

So says I, 'You may go down on your four bones to feverfew.'
They sat down on the sour stony land among the ragwort and teazles and feverfew.
She gave us feverfew, camomile, and dandelion, of which we made hot drinks.
When the milk, with some sprigs of feverfew boiled in it, was ready, Sally was sent up stairs with it.
When she comes out of her bath, give her an ounce of syrup of feverfew with a drachm of dog's tooth (mithridate).
feverfew is said to be "good for such as be melancholike, sad, pensive, and without speech."
In the feverfew (Pyrethrum), the receptacle is elevated, and the fruit is crowned with a narrow membrane.
Hollyhocks, feverfew, and gillyflowers must have made a sunshine in the shady places in the new home.
Old English feferfuge, from Late Latin febrifugia, from Latin febris "fever" (see fever) + fugare "put to flight;" so called for its medical usage. The modern English word probably is from an Anglo-French source.

Arthritis & Rheumatism, Volume 62,
November 2010 Abstract Supplement
Abstracts of the American College of
Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia November 6-11, 2010.
Prevalence and Prognostic Significance of Thrombotic Microangiopathy in Rheumatologic Patients: Clinical and Immunological Associations.
Aslanidis, Spyros, Pyrpasopoulou, Athina, Douma, Stella, Triantafyllou, Areti, Doumas, Michail, Zamboulis, Chrysanthos
The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of microangiopathy in rheumatologic patients featuring signs of vasculopathy. As the occurrence of small-vessel occlusions (thrombotic microangiopathy) in the nail fold of patients with antiphospholipid syndrome is well documented, a major target point of this study was to evaluate capillaroscopy in the diagnosis of APS. Capillaroscopic findings and matching autoantibody profiling were subsequently correlated with the incidence of arterial and venous thrombotic events.
738 patients from a Rheumatology Outpatients cohort were consecutively screened with capillaroscopy. Criteria for selection included Raynaud's phenomenon, livedo reticularis, diagnosis of SLE, positive antiphospholipid profile and/or previous thrombotic events, and atypical musculoskeletal symptomatology. Scleroderma patients were excluded. Patients with microhemorrhages were tested for ACL and anti-b2GP1 Abs and data was analyzed with the SPSS 16.0 software.
149 of the screened patients (85.2%[female]/14.8%[male], 49.28±14.31 yrs) exhibited capillary microhemorrhages. Running diagnosis in these patients was MCTD (24.2%), SLE (18.8%), RA (16.1%), APS (12.8%), Sjogren's syndrome (4.7%), B51 (3.4%), and vasculitis (2%). Antiphospholipid profile was tested in the affected individuals, and revealed an additional 14.7% of secondary laboratory APS in 28.6% of the SLE and 22.2% of the MCTD patients. The presence of ACL and anti-b2GP1 Abs was found to both independently significantly correlate with thrombotic events (p<0.001). Subanalysis of the type of anti-b2GP1 Abs indicated that the correlation with thrombotic events was significant for G-type (p<0.001) and M-type (p=0.012), but not A-type Abs (p=0.292, NS). No significant predilection for arterial or venous thromboses was observed in patients with ACL Abs; patients with anti-b2GP1 Abs exhibited a trend for arterial thromboses, p=0.174, NS.
Capillaroscopy is a useful microangiopathy screening tool in rheumatologic patients featuring signs of clinical vasculopathy, and can aid diagnostically to screen for, or verify, APS in patients with a history of thrombotic events. Associations of autoantibody profiling of patients with capillaroscopic microangiopathy with clinically manifested thromboses resulted in similar findings with studies involving patients with clinical APS. The observation that, although IgA-b2GP1 Abs were detected in patients with microangiopathy, they lacked any significant association with thrombotic complications, suggests, that additional factors may be needed for the development of clinical thrombotic events.

ATHLETES will be descending on Dorchester for one of the most scenic triathlons in the South West this weekend.
The annual Dorchester Triathlon is part of the 1610 race series and takes place on Sunday, August 31.
It was postponed in May because of problems with the swimming pool roof.
Competitors will swim sixteen lengths or 400 metres of the 25-metre pool before heading out of Dorchester via Poundbury for a 24km cycle race towards the Hardy's Monument near Portesham.
The final element of the triathlon is a 5km run from the Dorchester Sports Centre to Maiden Castle.
The Dorchester Triathlon is organised in partnership with Total Buzz Events, and the series consists of three 10km races and two sprint triathlons across Dorset, Somerset and Devon. It is being sponsored by Dorset Cereals, J2X Fitness and risk control service RiskSTOP.
1610 marketing and events coordinator, Paul Stimpson said: "The Dorchester Triathlon is a great community event for both novice and experienced athletes alike.
"The route showcases the stunning Dorset countryside and local historic sites which is what makes this event so unique, as well as being an inspiration for competitors and race spectators.
"Last year's race was very well supported and we are hoping that the 2014 Dorchester Triathlon will be just as successful."
The event was due to take place earlier this year but had to be postponed because the roof of the pool was damaged in the February storms.
A section of the main pool was roped off for several weeks for safety reasons while repairs were carried out.
A spokesperson for 1610 said at the time that the event was postponed 'with great regret' and anyone unable to take part on the rescheduled date in August was offered a refund.
The company worked with West Dorset District Council, which owns the building, to get the centre up and running as soon as possible following the damage.

For many Israelis and Jews around the world, the symbolic importance of the visit to Yad Vashem far outweighs the Pope's earlier condemnations of anti-semitism, representing a turning point after two millennia of recrimination.
However, some will doubtless be disappointed by his failure to offer a full apology for the Catholic church's conduct during the Nazi era.
"In this place of memories the mind and heart and soul feel an extreme need for silence. Silence in which to try to make some sense of the memories, which come flooding back. Silence because there are no words strong enough to deplore the terrible tragedy of the Shoah [Holocaust]," the Pope said.
All six of the Nazi extermination camps - as opposed to 16 other sites remembered at Yad Vashem where Jews were rounded up or worked to death as slave labourers - were on Polish soil, and the Pope was born and raised about 15 miles from Auschwitz.
The Pope said he had come to Yad Vashem, on the south-western edge of Jerusalem, to remember Jewish neighbours and friends from his home town of Wadowice, who were killed during the Holocaust, and to pay homage to the millions who died.
Several of the assembled dignitaries dabbed at their eyes during the ceremony.
For Israel, the visit to Yad Vashem was the pinnacle of a day in which the Vatican was forced to affirm the Jewish state. A session between the Pope and chief rabbis was followed by a meeting with Israel's president, Ezer Weizmann, which ended warmly.
"I assure the Jewish people that the Catholic Church... is deeply saddened by the hatred, acts of persecution and displays of anti-semitism directed against the Jews by Christians at any time and in any place," the Pope said.
But Israel's chief rabbi, Israel Meir Lau, said, after attending the ceremony: "This apology was quite fine... but I wait for chapter number two."
After the raucous reception the Pope had been given by the Palestinians in Bethlehem, yesterday was Israel's turn to seek the Vatican's blessing, and to try to extract maximum political advantage from the visit.
But it was an entirely official affair. The city was largely deserted - an evident surprise for the authorities, which had put up crowd control barriers at points along the Pope's route.
It was a telling indicator of Israeli attitudes towards Christianity which are unlikely to be helped by the Pope's failure to apologise for earlier Catholic teachings - since repudiated - which vilified Jews, and for his contention that the Nazi ideology never fed off Christianity.
There are 300,000 survivors of the Nazi Holocaust in Israel, and many were watching for John Paul II to condemn the silence of his own church and its wartime shepherd, Pius XII, while the Jews were being slaughtered. Religious experts knew that was an impossibility because of the doctrine of papal infallibility.
For some, nothing the Pope could say could erase the horrors of the past. "He is recognising the Holocaust more than 50 years later. It is a little late, isn't it?" said Claude Belassen, who is Jewish and from Paris.
