Risk of Relapse After Discontinuation of Medications in Patients with Polyarticular Course Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

UCSF, San Francisco, CA
Schneider Childrens Hospital, New Hyde Park, NY
Two goals of medical treatment in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are to achieve remission of the disease and minimize medication toxicity. Discontinuation of medications during disease quiescence decreases cumulative toxicity. It is not known if the type of treatment used to achieve clinical remission on medications (CRM) affects the subsequent duration of inactive disease off medications in polyarticular JIA. In this study, we compare the risk of relapse during inactive disease off medications in polyarticular course JIA patients who achieved CRM with methotrexate versus methotrexate and etanercept.
This is a retrospective study of 64 JIA patients who achieved CRM and were subsequently taken off all medications. They belonged to one of the following four sub-types of JIA as defined by ILAR criteria: extended oligoarticular, psoriatic, polyarticular rheumatoid factor (RF) negative and polyarticular RF positive. Group 1 consisted of 26 patients treated with methotrexate and followed from 1995 to 2000, prior to the introduction of etanercept into clinical practice. Groups 2 and 3 were patients followed from 2003 to 2008, treated with methotrexate alone (22 patients, group 2) or with methotrexate and etanercept (16 patients, group 3). The Wallace Criteria were used to define CRM. All patients achieved CRM and were taken off all medications after one year of inactive disease. Relapse was defined as persistent arthritis in at least one joint for at least 6 weeks.
Patients treated with the combination of methotrexate and etanercept (group 3) had significantly more active joints (p <0.001) and significantly higher weekly and cumulative methotrexate dosages (p= 0.02 and p=0.009, respectively). On average, prior to achieving CRM, patients in group 3 were treated with methotrexate for 23 months and etanercept for 6.2 months, while group 1 patients were treated with methotrexate for 8.7 months and group 2 patients for 16 months. Type of treatment did not significantly affect the risk of relapse in the three groups (p= 0.56), although compared to group 1, the risk in group 2 was 4% lower (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.45, 2.04) and in group 3 was 49% higher (HR 1.49, 95% CI 0.66, 3.35). The risk of relapse did not significantly change after adjusting for age, gender, sub-type of JIA, number of affected joints, weekly and cumulative dosages of methotrexate, time from diagnosis to treatment and duration of methotrexate treatment.
Our results indicate that treatment with methotrexate and etanercept compared to treatment with methotrexate alone does not significantly affect the risk of relapse in patients with polyarticular course JIA who achieved CRM and were off all medications. However, patients treated with methotrexate and etanercept had more severe disease, indicated by more active joints and longer duration of methotrexate treatment prior to achieving remission.

Helping you to remain compliant with Automatic Enrolment
29,000 employers pay 250,000 employees using 12Pay
My current payroll software (HMRC PAYE Basic Tools) calculates the amount of SSP recoverable from HMRC - will 12Pay do the same? Also, with SMP, again it calculates and prints a schedule of the weekly amounts payable, and the totals recoverable, together with compensation. Will I be able to find the same with 12Pay please?
Yes, 12Pay calculates SSP recovery and SMP compensation on the P32 that you get each month. You need to tick whether or not your company is "small" on the employer form.
You can print an SMP forward schedule from the SMP absence form, when you've entered the absence. From memory it just shows the amounts payable, but the compensation is a trivial calculation of 103% or 92% according to company size (and not usually needed ahead of time in any case)

One big problem is that these requests are still governed by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, which was written when people still had rotary phones, fax machines were the whizzy new communications technology, and mobile handsets were multi-thousand-dollar bricks like the prop sported by Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street."
Among other asinine details, the ECPA declares that any opened electronic messages stored on a server for more than 180 days are officially "abandoned," and thus accessible to law enforcement via only a subpoena. I don't know about you, but I've had a Webmail account since at least 1999. That means tens of thousands of my messages are ready to be plucked out at any moment by any fed with sufficient interest in my inane correspondence. (Note: According to this report in Wired, Google requires a probable cause warrant before it turns over any email messages, despite what the ECPA might allow.)
The other troubling aspect of this is the vast universe of Google properties any request can touch -- email, search, shopping, travel, social networks, photos, yadda yadda. If it has to do with your data, Google probably has a copy of it. Talk about your one-stop-shopping. It's really nice of them to do the cops' dirty work, don't you think?
Many folks inside DC know that the ECPA is desperately in need of a full body makeover; it even looked like that might happen last fall after the Senate Judiciary Committee approved a much-improved version. Unfortunately, our lovely Congress punted entirely on a new bill that would have required the spooks to get a warrant before pawing through our old emails. Now ECPA reform is in limbo -- so, for that matter, is any notion that you can control the data Google has on you.
What does Google know about you and when did it know it? Post your confessions below or email me: email@example.com.

Ford will offer "ultra fuel-efficient" versions of the Focus and Fiesta in Europe next year as part of a green-technology strategy.
The ECOnetic Focus and Fiesta, scheduled to debut at the Frankfurt auto show next week, will be powered by a new version of Ford's 1.6L Duratorq diesel engine. Ford says the Focus will achieve 89 g/km carbon-dioxide emission levels, while the Fiesta will produce just 87 g/km CO2.
The Focus is rated at 83.1 mpg (3.4 L/100 km), making it the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid C-segment car in Europe, while the Fiesta will achieve 85.6 mpg (3.3 L/100 km), Ford says.
The expansion of ECOnetic technology will help Ford achieve its goal of a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions between 2006 and 2020, the auto maker says.
ECOnetic technologies include features such as auto start/stop, regenerative braking and active grille shutters.
Ford says about half the cars it sells in the second half of 2012 in Europe will carry ECOnetic technologies, increasing to an expected two-thirds by mid-2013.

So if you remember a couple weeks ago I posted my goals for 2011. If you missed that post, please go back and take a look here. Today, I am going to walk you through a process I use to help achieve the goals I set for myself. I recommend you do the same, it has helped my a lot when I get stuck on what I need to do each day.
Breaking them down
First, as a reminder and so you don't have to keep switching between posts, here are my goals for this year:
- Max out my retirement accounts
- Spend three weeks on vacation in Australia
- Get my body fat to 12%
- Become conversationally fluent in Spanish
- Learn to play piano
- Finish 50 Best Pictures
- Have 5000 subscribers to Find Your Peak
- Break 90 in golf
- Travel to South America
- Double my income and net worth from 2011
As you can see, I have some pretty ambitious goals, so I need a system to ensure I keep moving towards the prize. What I do first, is break each goal down into bite sized chunks if possible. I always at least list something additional I need to do to make the goal happen. I have done this for each below:
- Max out my retirement accounts
I. Increase my 401K deduction
- Spend three weeks on vacation in Australia
I. Research hotels
II. Research flights and using miles
III. Plan to take time off from work
IV. Contact friends in Australia for planning
- Get my body fat to 12%
I. Create an eating plan to lose weight
II. Plan a workout regimen to lose weight and build muscle
- Become conversationally fluent in Spanish
I. Research the best ways to learn Spanish
- Learn to play piano
I. Research ways to learn piano
- Finish 50 Best Pictures
I. Choose the next pictures I want to watch
- Have 5000 subscribers to Find Your Peak
I. Research ways to increase subscribers
- Break 90 in golf
I. Create a plan for getting better at golf
- Travel to South America
I. Ensure I have a trip planned sometime during the year
- Double my income and net worth from 2011
I. Research other streams of income
II. Save and invest more money
As you can see, there is at least one task for each individual goal. The next step involves breaking them down further into action steps and if possible, taking immediate action to move forward on the path to making the goals a reality. In the next post I will explain how this is done and how to make a tracking system to ensure you stay on track.

I have been living in Fairfield County for almost 15 years and any time I pass by a General Electric's (GE) headquarter offices I see a full parking lot and people working hard in teams or alone, often at night and during holidays. In addition, the company sponsors a number of non-profit organizations (UCONN, Stamford Public Library, Sacred Heard University, Junior Achievement, and the Norwalk Maritime Aquarium to name a few) and is overall a decent neighbor, given that 20% of the local economy depends on it. However, there are three main reasons I like GE. First, it has interesting businesses with exposure to emerging markets and growing areas such as energy and healthcare. Second, the company is recovering well after the 2008-2009 recession, and the stock, while off its low, is still a good investment from a valuation stand point. Third, the company's financial services division has been contributing steadily to GE, but this has been largely ignored.
GE has two major segments - first, GE Industrials comprised of energy infrastructure, aviation, healthcare, transportation, and home & business solutions and second, GE Capital. In 2011, GE recorded revenue of $147.3 billion of which $45.7 billion or 31% came from GE Capital, $94 billion or 64% from industrials (of which $41.9 billion or 45% is from product services) with $7.6 billion or 5% from other (of which $2 billion is from the NBC Universal - Comcast JV). Going further down the industrial chain, energy contributed $43.7 billion or 46.5% of all industrial revenue, aviation and healthcare around $18 billion each or 20%, and transportation and home and business solutions, the remaining $13.5 billion, or approximately 14%. Geographically, revenues were also diversified with $69.8 billion or 47% from the U.S., followed by Europe ($29.1 billion or 20%), Pacific Basin ($23.2 billion or 16%), Americas ($13.2 billion or 9%), Middle East and Africa ($9.8 billion or 6.5%), and other global ($2.2 billion or 1.5%). The industrials business is supported by GE Capital, as most of the items the company sells have large price tickets and GE Capital, among other things, provides the financing. In order to stay competitive, GE spends billions of dollars on R&D, and in 2011, it spent $4.6 billion on R&D, compared to $3.9 billion in 2010.
GE is the largest industrial conglomerate followed by Siemens (SI) and United Technologies (UTX) which combined together are still smaller than GE. Despite its large size, GE is able to grow its businesses as it is constantly discontinuing businesses in which it does not have a leadership position. This together with the strong R&D spending should contribute to a 7-8% growth in emerging markets and some developed markets such as Australia and Canada, according to GE's guidance. Most notable is GE's advance in China, where the company expects about $6 billion in revenue in 2012 after a 28% revenue growth in 2011 and despite a general slow-down in China's economy. The diversity of GE's businesses together with its global reach (global revenues from the industrials segment were $54.3 billion) make this industrial conglomerate a rock-solid investment.
During the past ten years GE has had its ups and downs as the economy experienced a few booms and some busts. It traded around a high of $42 to a low near $7 per share during the first quarter of 2009 (unfortunately I did not buy at that point). Its price to earnings ratio has been fluctuating from a high of 28 in 2002 to a low of 6 in 2009. On average its price to earnings ratio has been around 17, which gives a price of $20.9 based on its 2011 earnings per share of $1.23. Assuming GE earns $1.55 this year which is in accord with Wall Street estimates and a price to earnings ratio of 17 this gives a price of $26.35. Currently GE pays a dividend which yields 3.4% and it appears likely that it will stay the same or go up. Thus, investors are paid 3.4% and an opportunity for a capital appreciation of approximately 30% from current stock price in the next one to two years. This is not a conservative estimate but not overly optimistic either.
Compared to its peers, GE is also a bargain. 3M (MMM), another conglomerate, has price to earnings ratio of 15, compared to 16.3 for GE. However, on a forward looking basis, GE's price to earnings ratio is 12.9 while 3M's is 14.3 and in my opinion 3M is much riskier company due to its limited penetration in developing markets, its higher dependence on commodity prices and on the electronics market which faces pricing pressures, and relatively low level of new products. Compared to Siemens and United Technologies, GE is also better positioned for growth and I expect it will be less severely impacted by the slow-down in Europe and not at all by the slow-down in China.
GE Capital recently passed the stress test of the Federal reserve bank. It has a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10% double the required minimum of 5% and $553 billion in assets. The main reason for GE's stock share fluctuations in 2008 and 2009 was mostly the GE Capital division, but I believe the risk at GE Capital is minimum compared to the risk that the largest banks had. In fact, Citigroup (C) failed the same stress test. GE Capital should be able to resume dividend payments to the parent company and it expects to pay out 40%-50% of its net income, below the recommended maximum by the Fed of 70%. The Fed had more severe loss assumptions at GE Capital but our central bankers came up with better than expected capital return. I think GE Capital has in place good management that will not allow a major loss in this unit.
In conclusion, GE should benefit from its diversification in different industrial segments that are in demand as well as from its penetration in growth markets. The stock, at the current price level, offers good dividend yield with a potential of capital appreciation. The GE Capital unit is well positioned to support the industrial business and to contribute to the company on its own. Overall, GE is a well oiled and efficient industrial giant - its revenue per employee in 2011 was $490,000 dwarfing the revenue per employee at Siemens and United Technologies of $272,000 and $290,000, respectively. GE is a good investment and provides an exposure to growth as well. There are risks associated with GE arising from possible decrease in economic activity, higher unemployment rates, political instability, as well as internally from misallocation of resources and its underfunded pension plan, for example. However, I strongly recommend the stock as a long-term investment and/or a substitute to bond investments, which are expected to underperform in the next few years, due to the anticipation of higher inflation and interest rates.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Ladies who appreciate poetry? Think my GF will like this poem I wrote her?
Poster Handle
Being Mindful
Post Content
"There is a heaviness weighing hard upon my chest;
So much love and longing.
Short of breath and gasping for air,
This feeling of emptiness – so thick it's suffocating.
The silence overwhelms me;
Her sweet voice, her joyous laughter –
It echoes throughout the canyons of my heart;
Drifting further and further away.
The ground gives way beneath my feet;
I frantically grasp at the crag and rock – but to no avail.
Am I falling? Or floating? Or flying?
My heart sinks but my soul is soaring.
Time stands still as the clouds fly past me.
I could fall for the rest of my life;
More deeply and madly in love with each passing day,
The second hand of the clock reminds me of her beating heart,
I try to align myself with the inhalation and exhalation of her breath.
I breathe in, imagining she is doing the same.
I breathe out, is she thinking of me?
Twenty seven seconds pass on the clock.
I try to count the heartbeats.
I lose track and my thoughts turn to the lilies of the field,
I wonder if they feel the same heartache and gut wrenching sadness,
When the sun retires to its place for the night;
And they are left alone in the dark, without its warming heat and love.
Do the sands of the shore cry out for the tide,
When the waters recede and return from whence they came?
Do the leaves of the tree lament?
Are they tossing and turning, in mourning from the fall –
Yearning to find themselves once again in their lovers arms?
They say home is where the heart is,
So my home will forever be with her.
During these periods of inevitable separation,
Of seemingly immeasurable distance,
I will be a wanderer, a vagrant.
Finding my home away from home,
In a familiar song, In the smell of her on my clothes,
In the scratches across my back that read like writing upon the wall,
Like love letters written in cryptic code that only my eyes can see,
That only my heart can decipher.
Though this heaviness feels at times unbearable,
And each breath feels like pins and needles,
And every second I'm away from her feels like an eternity,
Still, I wouldn't trade this feeling for anything in the world.
It is her love that gives me life, that gives me strength,
That grants me peace.
I know that just as the sun shines forth at each new dawn,
Just as the flowers bloom in the spring,
Just as the trees stretch out their branches at the return of the light,
I will find myself once again,
Basking in her eternal, luminous glow.
They say the best things in life are worth the wait,
So I will be patient,
As I await the return of my beloved."
That truly makes me cry, is there ever a love a feeling a purpose to just live for that? Then let that feeling knowing that love and may it stretch out into eternity and never grow tired of giving and receiving. For that is true happiness, there is nothing worth living for than to know God's true divine Love which I feel as a puppy just begging for Divine's door to shower me that love.
What are you waiting for her to do?

Brandon Beachy felt good after a 50-pitch bullpen session on Saturday, leading the Atlanta Braves to schedule him for a rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Gwinnett, ajc.com reports.
Beachy, who had Tommy John surgery just over a year ago, was shut down three weeks ago after he developed inflammation in his throwing elbow. It was his first setback of his rehab. He will likely get two or three minor league rehab starts before rejoining the Braves.
Speculation abounds over who the Braves would move to the bullpen or trade to clear out room in the rotation for Beachy. Kris Medlen is the only member of the current rotation who has bullpen experience, but there is also talk of trading Paul Maholm.Tags: Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Baseball, Brandon Beachy, MLB, Tommy John

Kofi Annan, the secretary-general, said the three would not negotiate whether American arms inspectors will be allowed to stay a point U.N. officials insist is not negotiable.
The teams goal is to discuss with the Iraqis a firm implementation of the U.N. resolution permitting the inspectors to determine whether Iraq has destroyed illegal weapons, Annan said.
The team consists of diplomats from Algeria, Sweden and Argentina.
Iraqs refusal to allow American inspectors has deepened the crisis between the United Nations and Iraq, which has charged the Americans on the U.N. teams were spies and were trying to delay the lifting of economic sanctions imposed for its 1990 occupation of Kuwait. A U.S.-led coalition drove Iraq from the emirate in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
Maj. Gen. Nils Carlstrom, the Swedish head of the U.N. monitoring office in Baghdad, said today that a missile inspection team that included at least one American expert was told by Iraqi officials that inspectors from the United States were no longer allowed to work in Iraq.
After the incident, Carlstrom said the missile team and two other inspection groups sent out this morning returned to their headquarters at a hotel in the Iraqi capital. It was not immediately clear how many of the seven American inspectors in Baghdad were involved.
Carlstrom said there were no threats at all, and the only thing was that we were told that the Americans were not allowed, so the inspection was called off.
He added that the inspectors were awaiting further directives from U.N. headquarters in New York.
Reporters were barred from the area around the Canal House Hotel, where
the inspectors are headquartered. And, as usual, they were not allowed
to accompany the teams that headed out at mid-morning and returned an
hour and 15 minutes later.

AC Milan took until stoppage time to salvage a draw at unfashionable Portsmouth in the UEFA Cup on Thursday as the Italians missed a chance to join Manchester City, CSKA Moscow and St. Etienne in qualifying for the knockout phase early.
Filippo Inzaghi scored the equalizer in the second minute of injury time after Ronaldinho fired in a 30-yard free kick as seven-time European champion AC Milan hit back from two goals down to deny the Premier League side a famous victory.
CSKA — winners in 2005 — beat Lech Poznan 2-1, while St. Etienne progressed to the last 32 with a 1-1 draw at Club Brugge.
Manchester City won 2-0 at Schalke, while Tottenham defeated NEC Nijmegen 1-0 and also look on track for qualification for the knockout phase.
Feyenoord, which won the competition in 2002, saw its campaign end with a 3-0 loss at Deportivo La Coruna, while Standard Liege dumped out Partizan Belgrade with 1-0 victory to go top of Group C.
Also in Group C, Sampdoria was held 1-1 by Stuttgart.
At Fratton Park, second half strikes by Younes Kaboul and Nwankwo Kanu appeared to have put FA Cup winner Portsmouth on the way to a famous victory over star-studded Milan in Group E.
But Ronaldinho, who came on with his team losing 2-0 with 16 minutes to go, won a disputed free kick after being fouled by Glen Johnson and then curved a trademark effort into the top corner.
"It was never a foul," Johnson said. "It's one of those things, I suppose. Ronaldinho can cause havoc when he's on those free-kicks, as he showed."
Inzaghi, who earlier hit the post and the bar, collected a lobbed pass from Zambrotta, controlled it first time and prodded the ball home for the equalizer with just seconds of the game remaining.
Milan remains unbeaten with seven points from three games to top the group while Portsmouth now has just one point from two games.
CSKA went ahead through 18-year-old striker Alan Dzagoev in the 31st minute with his third Group H goal, and Yuri Zhirkov doubled the lead with a volley in first-half stoppage time.
Semir Stilic threatened a Lech comeback when he pulled one back for the Polish visitors in the 66th with a 25-meter (yard) free kick.
While CSKA has won all three matches, once-mighty Feyenoord lies bottom of the group with no points.
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is confident they will progress after a second straight win in the competition at Nijmegen.
"With six points it's job done," Redknapp said. "It was difficult, the pitch wasn't particularly good and it was difficult to pass the ball, but we were strong and solid and never felt in any danger."
Jamie O'Hara headed into an unguarded goal in the 14th after striker Frazier Campbell, on loan from Manchester United, rattled the crossbar.
Ivan Saenko gave Spartak Moscow a crucial win at Dinamo Zagreb ahead of its final Group D match at Spurs.
Manchester City showed that the newly wealthy Premier League side isn't dependent on Brazil forward Robinho, who was out with an ankle injury.
Robinho's place was taken by Daniel Sturridge, who provided the cross that Benjani Mwaruwari slotted into an open goal at the far post in the 32nd minute.
Having had a goal ruled out for offside, Stephen Ireland slotted the ball under the advancing Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the 66th.
City's next opponent, Paris St. Germain, was held 2-2 by Racing Santander after squandering a two-goal lead and stay bottom of Group A.
In Group F, Leonardo pushed four-time European champion AJAX up to second with a 1-0 win at Hamburg, and MSK Zilina and Slavia Prague won their first points by drawing 0-0.
Luciano Galletti scored in the first minute and set up two goals as Olympiakos routed Benfica 5-1 in Group B, where leader Galatasaray lost 1-0 at home to Metalist Kharkiv.
In Group G, 2004 champion Valencia routed Rosenborg 4-0 to claim its first win, while French league strugglers St. Etienne progressed despite Brugge's Ronald Vargas canceling out David Gigliotti's opener.

I commend her for standing by her friend and going on record as a character witness.
I commend him for doing so, and for the immense amount of good he has done in that role.
The want Dr. St. James to remain in the classroom, and commend Millikin for standing by him.
Sadly, their families are typically the only ones left to commend, since most of the awardees are dead.
I scrupled not to make plain to her that her plan did not commend itself to me.
To Virtue only and her friends a friend, The world beside may murmur, or commend.
It is one of the earnest principles of my faith to commend fashion.
It is needless to say, that we commend this most agreeable work to our readers.
Cromwell nodded his head once more to commend the Archbishop's gentleman with a perfect acquiescence.
mid-14c., comenden, from Latin commendare "to commit to the care or keeping (of someone), to entrust to; to commit to writing;" hence "to set off, render agreeable, praise," from com-, intensive prefix (see com-), + mandare "to commit to one's charge" (see mandate (n.)). In some senses, a shortening of recommend. Related: Commended; commending.

RoseAnn V. Shawiak
A Doctor's Greed - Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak
Grand and tall, once he stood.
Basking in respect, commanding dignity.
Until one day, in great dismay, he found himself in rags and disrespect.
A proud figure brought to the ground, losing all his noble dignity.
Sneaking behind authorities and the I.R.S., he tried desperately to cover up his dishonesty - but it stood out beyond all of his qualities.
Taking money under-handedly, he had sought to rip off the state, because he thought his services far underpaid.
Yes, he was a professional, looked up to in his field, he felt it his right to steal what he couldn't honestly make.
His cases were hopeless, he brought them back to life.
This gives him the right?

Robert came to Toronto as a free agent from English side Derby County in April, "but slumped after a strong start," writes Morgan Campbell. His $337,000 salary made him the team's highest-paid player, and dumping that cleared space for Ruiz. The terms of the Ruiz trade were not yet clear, but it will allow the Galaxy in turn to sign veteran U.S. national team midfielder Eddie Lewis.
Toronto will also take two-thirds of Edu's transfer fee (one third going to MLS). $500,000 goes to the team's allocation fund "and they'll have until late next year to use it on salaries and player signings." The remaining $2.8 million goes to the team's soccer operations, which could mean anything from funding its academy to replacing its home field turf with natural grass.

Ryan Reynolds Gives 'Sesame Street' an 'A'
While the world waits to see how Ryan Reynolds fills out Green Lantern's heroic tights, the Van Wilder donned a more comedic costume for a very special and educational episode of Sesame Street.
Reynolds transformed himself into a giant purple A recently to join Elmo and the gang in a jolly tune extolling the importance of the first letter of the alphabet. Refreshingly innocent, really, when compared to some other recent Sesame Street segments.
Peep Reynolds' letter-perfect performance in the video below. What do you think "A" stands for in Reynolds' case? Let us know in the comments section.

Included in the links to the various syndromes are brief descriptions which are intended to inform and are not intended for diagnosis. A geneticist who is a member of an experienced craniofacial team should make a diagnosis.
A craniofacial disorder refers to an abnormality of the face and/or the head. Craniofacial differences can result from abnormal growth patterns of the face or skull, which involves soft tissue and bones. A craniofacial condition may include disfigurement brought about by birth defect, disease or trauma.
Apert syndrome
Carpenter syndrome
Carpenter Syndrome belongs to a group of rare genetic disorders known as acrocephalopolysyndactyly or ACPS disorders. All forms of ACPS are characterized by webbing or fusion (syndactyly) of certain fingers or toes (digits); and/or more than the normal number of digits (polydactyly), and by the premature closure of the fibrous joints (cranial sutures) between certain bones of the skull which is known as craniosynostosis, causing the top of the head to appear pointed, or cone shaped (acrocephaly).
Cleft Lip and/or Palate
Crouzon syndrome
Facial Cleft
Facial Cleft is a rare condition in which there are areas of absent bone and sometimes overlying skin, that may occur either on one or both sides of the face.
Facial Palsy
Fibrous Dysplasia
Frontonasal Dysplasia
A Guide to Understanding Hemangiomas
Hemangioma is a non-malignant tumor that is made up of rapidly growing endothel or vascular cells.
Hemifacial Microsomia/Goldenhar syndrome
A Guide to Understanding Microtia
Microtia/atresia - Microtia is an incompletely formed ear. It may be just a small ear, or other variations including having only a bump of tissue at the location where the ear should normally be found. Atresia is the closing or absence of an ear canal in the middle ear. Microtia and atresia can occur alone or together. They can also be associated with hemifacial microsomia. If both ears are affected Treacher Collins Syndrome may be involved. Moebius Syndrome is characterized by a paralysis of the 6th and 7th cranial nerves, resulting in a lack of facial expression, lack of lateral eye movement and lack of blinking. (Children with this syndrome do not have a smile).
Miller syndrome
Miller Syndrome is very rare condition characterized by downward slanting eyelids, cleft palate, recessed lower jaw, small cup shaped ears, and a broad nasal ridge. Anomalies include shortened and bowed forearms, incompletely developed ulna and radius bones in the arms, missing or webbed fingers and toes, and abnormal growth of the tibia and fibula bones in the lower legs. Occasional anomalies include heart defects, lung disease from chronic infection, extra nipples, stomach or kidney reflux, undescended testicles in males, dislocated hips, and difficult vein access.
Moebius syndrome
Nager syndrome
Nager Syndrome is a condition in which the facial characteristics include downward slanting eyelids, absence or underdeveloped cheekbones, a severely underdeveloped lower jaw, malformed outer and middle ears, clefting of the hard or soft palates, absence of lower eyelashes and scalp hair extending on the cheek. Upper limb defects include underdeveloped or missing thumbs and occasional absence of the radial limb.
Pfeiffer syndrome
Pierre Robin Sequence
Saethre-Chotzen syndrome is a condition in which more than one suture is fused prematurely causing irregular head growth. Eyelids are droopy while eyes are widespread and appear bulging and may be crossed. The upper jaw may be underdeveloped. The nose may appear "beaked" and the septum may be deviated; that is, the area between the nostrils is off center. Fingers are short and certain fingers may be fused. There may be a low hairline.

Before starting my article, I just want to tell that a server usually acts as a gateway or proxy to fulfill the request of the client so as to access the requested URL. That is to say, the sever will display your requested URL correctly after you are entering the web address. However, when the server receives an invalid response from an upstream server, it may display a HTTP error code such as the Error 502 Bad Gateway message. This usually a sign to tell you that something goes wrong with the site you are going to access; but sometimes, it can be troubleshooted and solved easily.
When getting the Error 502 Bad Gateway message, simply check to see if you are having problems visiting all web pages or just a few individual web pages. If you do not receive a similar error message when attempting to visit some other websites, it is recommended that you can contact the owner of the Website displaying the error message as it may be temporarily offline or experiencing other sever issues. If it appears on all web pages, follow the steps below to deal with the HTTP error.
Secondly, we know that a web browser cache is a directory or a folder having stored copies of the most recently visited websites to optimize the Internet performance. The more cache files on the computer, the slower the computer will be, and the more chances for you to get some errors while trying to visit some pages just like 502 Bad Gateway error. So do remember to clear the unneeded cache files from your computer regularly.
If the solutions above do not help, then you can reset the web browser's configuration settings trying to solve the problem. But please note that this will disable all browser add-ons and you have to re-enable your needed add-ons after the reset job. Here, I take Internet Explorer as an example to show you how to do this job:
* Run your Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
* Click Advanced tab, and then click Reset.
*When you are in the Internet Explorer Default Settings dialog box, click Reset.
* When the settings have been reset, click Close, and then click OK to restart Internet Explorer and the problem must be solved.
If all the previous steps fail, you may have file corruption caused by malware or by a virus. When the Windows cannot recall the needed files to display your desired pages correctly, then it may show an error like Error 502 Bad Gateway. To check for this, it is recommended that you can download and run an antivirus antispyware program as it helps to scan the whole Windows and computer registry for any existing & potential threats.
If the Error 502 Bad Gateway still remained even though you have tried all solutions above, then cleaning computer registry will help to 99% solve this browser problem. The registry contains all the files, settings and applications used by programs, such as Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. Only with a clean registry, will your web browser or other installed programs always run properly. However, registry is too easy to attack by kinds of threats as they are used too frequently when using the computer, which results in kinds of registry errors, computer errors. Cleaning the registry will remove or repair problematic components inside the system, including the annoying 502 Bad Gateway message in visiting some pages.
To sum, a 502 Bad Gateway is not strange at all if you are relying on the computer every day to learn about the outside world. It can interrupt you severely and stop you from visiting some pages properly. Anyhow, all the above solutions help to easily check and solve it for you within minutes. Thanks for reading and wish you enjoy a pleasant PC life all the time!

Two beheaded in Saudi Arabia
A Saudi man and a woman have been beheaded for the murder of a man who had offered them a ride.
l-Tarqi bin Atallah al-Salbi and Noura Hamad lured Falah al-Dawish to a deserted area, stabbed him, and strangled him with a wire, said Saudi officials.
They then burned his body and stole his money and car, a statement said.
Both were beheaded in the Qariet al-Alyya province, some 350 kilometres (218 miles) east of the capital, Riyadh.
Amnesty anger
Their execution raised to at least 42 the number of people beheaded this year in the Gulf kingdom. At least 81 were beheaded last year.
Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam. It imposes the death penalty for murder, rape, drug trafficking and armed robbery. Beheadings are carried out in public with a sword.
Other punishments include amputation for theft and flogging for selling alcohol.
Although these practices are criticised by many in the West, Saudi authorities say the punishments keep their crime rate down.
However, Amnesty International says the system is arbitrary and unfair.
The organisation says wealthy people and Westerners are rarely punished while those from poor backgrounds have little protection.

"We've seen that the pressure of getting out of your Pool is immense and the Springboks game will be a huge test for us. They're a physical side, so we'll have to make sure we front up and play a disciplined game against them."

Thu. November 14, 2013 | Kelly Parsons
KISSIMMEE — Steinbrenner coach Laura Stegenga passed her phone down the table to Avery Bradshaw. The outside hitter took one look at the screen and began to cry.
The Warriors had just lost the 7A state semifinal to Gulf Coast in five sets, 19-25, 24-16, 25-16, 26-24, 11-15, but it wasn't her team's failure to advance to the state championship match that made Bradshaw emotional.
On the coach's phone was a photo of Steinbrenner students gathered in the school's gym, where Thursday's game had been streamed and projected on a wall. That kind of backing gave the disappointed Warriors a reason to keep their heads up.
"I've never seen anything like it," Stegenga said.
More than 90 miles from their support system, the Warriors (23-4) put on a good show at Silver Spurs Arena.
Trailing 2-0 after losing two close sets, Bradshaw broke a 4-4 tie in the must-win third with a kill. She scored four of the next six points on three more kills and a service ace, and Steinbrenner took an early lead the Sharks weren't able to overcome.
Still with their backs against the wall, the Warriors battled through 17 ties in the fourth before a Bradshaw kill and a block ended the stalemate, giving Steinbrenner the final advantage and forcing a fifth set.
Bradshaw, a junior, finished the match with a team-high 29 kills, while setter Brooke Royals had 60 assists.
The Warriors pride themselves on their serve receive, Stegenga said. But in the biggest set of Steinbrenner's season, the Warriors' strength became their weakness. The Sharks (23-8) had three service aces in the final set, two from outside hitter MacKenzie Allen.
"We got a little shattered there for a couple points," Stegenga said about her team's serve receive. "In a shorter game, when you're only playing to 15, you're not going to have as much of an opportunity to come back from those moments of hiccup."
When the Steinbrenner team woke up in its hotel Thursday, the Warriors' first final four appearance ahead of them, the self-proclaimed giddy girls couldn't wait for the experience to begin.
"It was like Christmas," middle blocker Lauren Heldt said.
After Steinbrenner's loss to the Sharks the team's excitement had dropped, but it wasn't gone.
The Warriors had still taken Steinbrenner a long way. And Bradshaw knew there would be a school full of people to remind them.
"We're going to be able to go to school tomorrow and we're going to have the entire school there for us saying, 'Oh my gosh, great job,' " she said. "And that means a lot to us."

All Gone Pete Tong
It's fair to say that Pete Tong's life is intertwined with the history of acid house and electronic music itself. His career mirrors the story of dance music over the last 25 years. A true renaissance man, Pete has never been about one thing and now more than ever he embodies the many facets of dance music culture, from radio shows and album releases to clubs nights and festival arenas, prolific is probably an understatement.
All Gone Pete Tong was launched by Pete initially as a Club night at Pacha Ibiza in 2011. Now in 2013, it's burgeoned into a worldwide party brand, radio show (daily in USA, and weekly around the world), and a mix compilation series with album guests including Groove Armada, Felix Da Housecat, Booka Shade, Reboot and Skream to date.
Just when the world though Pete had all dance bases covered, Pete announced in April 2013 that he's bringing daytime clubbing back to Ibiza with "Le Grand Bazaar" at Ushuaia Ibiza and confirmed initial guests including Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox and Hot Natured...
Pete commented..."I'm looking forward to making Fridays completely unique, bringing daytime clubbing back to the island with an incredible lineup of underground and global names, and also to dreaming up more crazy and inspiring events with Ushuaia this summer and beyond..."
Of course Pete is still synonymous with Friday nights and his world famous BBC Radio 1 show, the birthplace and starting point for so many great careers in Dance music... Pete's lauded Essential New Tune and his World World exclusives bring accolade and exposure unrivaled by any other broadcast. It was fitting that amongst the furor and excitement of Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" Album campaign, it was Pete who got the world exclusive first interview and Pete's 2million plus listeners who heard it first.
So it's clear Pete's right at the top of his game, and add to all this his constant touring, production work, remixes, music supervision, film scoring, hosting the Essential Mix show... he's without question the busiest man in dance music.
At the heart of all of this, is Pete's ability to push and nurture new talent. From Guti and Benoit to Maya Jane Coles and Disclosure - there are few successful electronic artists that didn't benefit from the Pete Tong Push ™. "That's a big remit of my radio shows," smiles Pete. "But I don't turn water into wine - all I ever saw myself doing was fanning the flames of something that I thought was inevitable. I'd like to think that by backing the special ones that I can help it happen for these artists... a little bit quicker"
It's been a long, tumultuous ride for Pete. "I left school at the end of the 1970s and always wanted to be a DJ," he starts, "To make a name for yourself back then you had to have the coolest and rarest records - if you managed to get hold of the hottest tune in the record shop, it could be months before any other DJ managed to track down a copy; your status and ability to call a tune in the underground record stores was very important, it's hard to conceive that today with the instant access available online"
In 2012 All Gone Pete Tong really started to push boundaries and take the brand around the world including a sold out UK tour, an underground warehouse party in the heart of East London, and a brief stop off for an exclusive show in Moscow, All Gone made it's Miami debut. Then followed an arena at the Pacha Festival in Amsterdam, before All Gone touched down once again at Pacha and continued to mix things up and keep it fresh, with everyone from Jamie Jones to Alesso, Seth Troxler to Sebastian Ingrosso all making special appearances along side Pete.
Last year also saw All Gone host an arena at SW4 Festival in London, and the Autumn already sees Pete taking the party around the UK including visits to Bristol's Motion, Leeds' Warhouse and Manchester for Warehouse Project, not to mention a 10 date USA tour.
This year and, following 2 sold out All Gone shows in Miami once more, All Gone arenas are confirmed at Creamfields, SW4, Bestival and Jersey Live festival Pete's summer looks set to be as impressive as ever.
Pete's own music output is starting to become more frequent and free flowing - working alongside the likes of Paul Rogers, Dave Spoon and Steve Mac, Pete's fast-becoming a production powerhouse. "Sometimes I have to explain why I didn't do more of it before," says Pete, who has been in the studio with Rogers almost every day this year - it's an important part of his career now. "Running a record company from 1983 - 2000, I didn't have time to make music before and I come from an era where DJs didn't always make music - which would be very unusual today. Back in the day, trying to make a record was more difficult and expensive".
Recent remixes include; Gorillaz 'Stylo', Phoenix, Underworld and U2 with Paul Rogers, and Robyn, Madonna, Cheryl Cole, James Blunt and Razorlight with Dave Spoon, and recent singles "Shake The Dice" on Toolroom and Dawn featuring Azari frontman SYF on Defected are testimony to Pete's continued commitment to the studio.
Pete is also finding more time to combine his twin loves of music and film. Historically, he was the soundtrack supervisor for Human Traffic, Event Horizon, Shopping, The Beach and 24 Hour Party People and executive producer (with a cameo role) in the seminal It's All Gone Pete Tong. Recent work includes the music and score for Beyond The Rave for Hammer Films and supervision and score for the award winning Harry Brown which starred Sir Michael Caine. More projects are currently in the pipeline.
Which just leaves one last question: did he ever see such longevity being possible back in the early 80s? Pete ponders the question for a moment. "If we're fortunate of one thing, it's that we were in the right place at the right time. Without wanting to sound crass, in our own way in our own world, it was a bit like being in The Clash or The Sex Pistols around the time of punk. We all loved music before acid house, but when the rave explosion started, we were in the right place at the right time - and we made the right moves." He's still making them now.

'Fingerprint burglar' hopes for appeal
A businessman who claims he was wrongly jailed for burglary on the basis of suspect forensic evidence is seeking to overturn his conviction.
If Alan McNamara, from Bolton, wins his case it could raise fresh doubts about the reliability of fingerprint science.
Experts have backed his claim that his thumbprint had most probably been found on an item at the burgled house because the item been bought from his shop.
But despite the print being the only piece of evidence linking him to the scene of the £35,000 burglary he was jailed in 2001.
His legal team now believe they have new evidence which will overturn his conviction and he will hear on Friday if he has been granted leave to appeal.
He told BBC News Online: "English justice has got to show it realises an innocent man when it sees one.
"Besides being a businessman and touching thousands and thousands of objects during the course of a year, I can touch objects that will end up in Australia and New Zealand.
"Now if my print was on an object in that country and there was a murder, does that mean that I murdered that person?"
He added: "This whole scenario has ruined my family's lives.
"I have spent over £40,000 fighting to clear my name and I am determined not to give up."
At his original trial, the prosecution claimed his print had been found on a jewellery box at the burgled home, in Rochdale.
But his defence said experts pointed to a lack of wooden texture on the print which, they said, was more consistent with a print found on a smooth, curved surface.
Mr McNamara believes this was most likely an item bought at his shop, such as a vase.
'Imperfect science'
His case, which has been featured on the BBC's Panorama programme, has now been taken up by top barrister, Michael Mansfield QC.
He has also won backing from his local MP, David Crausby, who fears the case highlights flaws in the use of fingerprint evidence.
He said: "It may well be a perfect science as far as the evidence is concerned.
"But what is not perfect is the documentation as to where that evidence has come from."

(Mr. 90s Speculation Fad Cover Bringer Back Man!)
Having nearly caused the collapse of the entire comic book publishing industry in the 90s under the weight of crass, ill—conceived, money-grubbing gimmicks like multiple variant covers, you've decided that there's still too much money to be made exploiting dumbass fanboys not to bring back those same exact crass, ill—conceived, money-grubbing gimmicks like multiple variant covers.
(Where's my fish scented scratch-n-sniff Aquaman #0?)
So what if you're just fueling the same fires that nearly bankrupted the whole industry by greedily pandering to ignorant collectors? We see the method to your speculation madness, O' Hideous Huckster of the Hobby.
(Embossed metallic tits on Power Girl makes my eyes burn!)
Hologram covers? Foil embossed logos? Limited-edition leather bound books? Please. Those are so 1993. You're all about the new digital millennium: "negative art" variant chase covers.

So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, Mr. 90s Speculation Fad Cover Bringer Back Man, for when it comes to repeating the mistake of history, you do it in style…with an interlocking gatefold cardstock cover.

My oldest has autism (aspergers) and not only have we been through holding him down for a blood draw and for stitches (more than once on both), I also hear from my daughter, "Why do you give so much attention to my brothers?" Well, the older one has aspergers and the younger one is 4. They have different needs. And yeah, I have more pictures of the youngest than I do of her.

We do our best. That's all we can do. I try to make sure my girl gets more one-on-one, too, so she knows she's appreciated. I wrote her a letter recently explaining why things are this way and it really went far in helping our relationship and letting her know that she IS appreciated and she IS just as awesome as her brothers.

As for Bevin and her arthritis... poor baby. :( I have migraines and fibro (diagnosed both) and suspect arthritis in a couple of damaged/previously broken joints and I know what pain I'M in, as an adult.

I am shocked to see how well it is working. I wasn't sure he had the capacity to hold his body still, but if he really wants the shot prize he finds a way! I'm not usually one for rewarding behavior with toys/food, but we made an exception because of the pain involved and frequency of the shots.Monicahttp://email@example.com

The concept for this project began in 1997 as part of the Raising Our Sites initiative developed by the Pennsylvania Humanities Council. The Lancaster County Historical Society was one of fourteen institutions committed to reaching out to the underserved in our community. Our goal was to introduce our resources to African-Americans and children and plan creative programs to encourage and sustain the use of our resources by those who did not traditionally come to our institution.
As a first step we examined our collection and created an annotated Bibliography of African American Resources enabling us to have a concrete working research tool. Then we incorporated children's programming by developing a very successful Summer History Camp for an ethnically and economically diverse group of 4th and 5th graders. This program, focusing on the Lancaster County's role in the Underground Railroad, garnered a state and national award in 1999 and has been offered again in 2001.
The annual Pennsylvania Black History Conference, sponsored by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, was held at Millersville University in 1997. An outgrowth of that event was the formation of the Black History Roundtable, a group of Lancaster County community organizations, which meets quarterly to share new developments and programs relating to their mutual interest in black history.
The Lancaster County Historical Society works closely with area colleges and universities to foster dialogue on local and regional historical perspectives. The Regional History Colloquium encourages scholars to introduce a work-in-progress to an attentive audience. Often primary sources cited in the research are part of the collection of the Lancaster County Historical Society.
Dr. Tracey Weis, professor of history at Millersville University, has made extensive use of the historical society's African-American primary documents in academic courses. As director of New Media Classroom she has introduced primary sources in electronic format to workshop participants. Several of the databases on this website have been created by her students using these new technologies and pedagogy skills
The Lancaster County Historical Society is a partner in the National Endowment for the Humanities Underground Railroad Project. This program, directed by Dr. Weis, further expands the exploration and outreach of African-American primary documents and their creative and constructive use for educators.
Although many of our resources focus on the Underground Railroad as an organized fugitive movement during the three decades preceding the Civil War, we have compiled primary documents that reflect the African-American community as it developed in the 18th century as well as the 19th century of Lancaster County history. The timeline lists dates and significant events in the history of African-Americans in Lancaster County prior to the Civil War.
Funds to develop this website have been provided by a LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act) grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
Because the world is a bucketful of questions. And someone's gotta answer them
While working with the object collections of LancasterHistory.org we come across many questions. Visit here to see some of the more unusual stories that we have uncovered.
The staff and volunteers of the Archives Department at LancasterHistory.org never know what they'll find when working on the documents and records in the collections. Fortunately, when they do discover something noteworthy they are very willing to share!
Because pictures are worth a thousand words, but sometimes they need an interpreter.
You know that cliché about a picture being worth a thousand words? Ok, well, imagine the stories going on in my head after cataloging several hundred photos every single day!
One Young Lady, One Old House, Two Hundred Years of History
I'm Jennifer Walton, Museum Associate at President James Buchanan's Wheatland, and I love an old President and his old house! Over the past nine years, I've learned quite a lot about both, and I would love to share it with you!
