THE PRESIDENT: Hello, Ohio! (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!
THE PRESIDENT: How's it going, Bearcats? (Applause.) Got some Bearcats in the house. Are you fired up?
AUDIENCE: Ready to go!
THE PRESIDENT: Fired up?
AUDIENCE: Ready to go!
THE PRESIDENT: Fired up?
AUDIENCE: Ready to go!
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, you sound pretty fired up. (Applause.)
Can everybody please give Julie a big round of applause for the great introduction. (Applause.) Give it up for your Mayor, Mark Mallory, who's here. (Applause.)
This is a nice crowd here. Thank you so much. Now, those of you who have seats, if you want to get comfortable, feel free. Those of you who don't have seats, you're stuck. (Laughter.)
You know, for the past several days, all of us have been focused on what's happening on the East Coast, one of the worst storms of our lifetimes. And the images have been heartbreaking. We've seen those who -- (audience interruption) -- we're okay.
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!
THE PRESIDENT: I guess you all are still fired up. (Applause.)
But on the East Coast what we've seen are folks who are going through some incredible difficulties. There are those who have lost loved ones. And I had a chance to visit New Jersey and talk to some of the families who have been affected -- (audience interruption) -- it's okay. It's okay, guys. We're okay. (Applause.)
All right, let me try this again. No, no, no, listen up because this is important. First of all, Cincinnati, Ohio knows what it's like sometimes to get hit by terrible storms. And we've seen families lose loved ones, and we've seen people's lives upended. And so I hope that all of you are understanding that this rebuilding is going to take a long time.
Those of you who can help through the Red Cross, we need you to help. And when I went to New Jersey, what I told them was -- (applause) -- what I told them was I come not just as a President, but as a fellow citizen, and I'm confident I speak for all Americans when I say that no matter how long the road, no matter how difficult, we are going to be with them every step of the way in helping them to rebuild their lives. (Applause.) And we're going to do it together.
During tragedies like this, obviously our hearts are broken. But we're also inspired -- (audience interruption.) It's okay, folks. Everybody, it's okay. We're good. (Applause.) These might have been some Tennessee Titans fans who were mad about the Bears beating them really badly today. (Applause.) My Chicago Bears did pretty good. (Applause.)
But we've also been inspired these past few days by the images of police officers and firefighters and EMS folks running through water, and pulling folks out of buildings; neighbors helping neighbors cope with tragedy; leaders of different parties working together to fix what's broken. (Applause.) What we've seen is a spirit that says no matter how bad a storm is, no matter how tough times may get, we're all in this together. (Applause.) We rise or fall as one nation, as one people.
And that spirit has guided this country along its improbable journey for two centuries now.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: I love you!
THE PRESIDENT: I love you back. (Applause.)
That spirit has also carried us through the trials and tribulations of the last four years. These have been a tough four years. In 2008, we were in the middle of two wars and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Today, our businesses have created nearly 5.5 million new jobs. (Applause.) The American auto industry is back on top. (Applause.) Home values are on the rise. We're less dependent on foreign oil than at any time in 20 years. Because of the service and sacrifice of our brave men and women in uniform, the war in Iraq is over. (Applause.) The war in Afghanistan is coming to a close. (Applause.) Al Qaeda has been decimated. Osama bin Laden is dead. (Applause.) We've made progress.
We've made real progress these past four years. But here's the thing, Ohio. We know we've got more work to do. That's why we're here today, because we've got more work to do.
As long as there's a single American who wants a job but can't find one, our work is not yet done. As long as there are families working harder and harder but still falling behind, our work is not done. As long as there's a child anyplace in Cincinnati, anyplace in Ohio, anyplace in the United States of America who's languishing in poverty, who's barred from opportunity, the fight goes on. (Applause.)
Our fight goes on, because this nation cannot succeed without a growing, thriving middle class, and sturdy ladders for all who are willing to work hard to get into the middle class. Our fight goes on because we know America always does its best when everybody gets a fair shot, and everybody is doing their fair share, and everybody is playing by the same rules. That's what we believe. That's why you elected me in 2008. And that's why I'm running for a second term as President of the United States. (Applause.)
Now, in two days, America has got a choice to make. You in Ohio, you've already been making the choice because you've got early vote. (Applause.) And those of you who have not yet voted, you can still vote tomorrow and Tuesday. So don't wait.
But there may be some folks who are still undecided, just decided you wanted to hear Stevie. (Laughter.) I can't argue with that. But for those of you -- or your friends or your neighbors -- who are still trying to make up their minds, this is not just a choice between two candidates or two parties. It's a choice between two different visions of America. (Applause.) It's a choice between a return to the top-down policies that crashed our economy, or the strong, growing middle-class-based policies that are getting us out of a crisis. (Applause.)
Now, understand, look, as Americans, we believe in the free market. We believe in free enterprise. We believe in the strivers, the dreamers, the risk-takers. We know they've always been the driving force behind our economy, the greatest engine of growth and prosperity the world has ever known. That's what we believe. But we also believe that in this country, the free market and free enterprise work best when everybody has got a chance to participate -- (applause) -- when everybody is getting a good education and the skills they need to compete; when, together, we're investing in research for medical breakthroughs and new technologies.
We believe America works best, is stronger, when everybody can count on affordable health insurance -- just like Julie and Nathan. (Applause.) When they can count on Medicare and Social Security in their golden years; when there are rules to protect our kids from pollution; rules to protect consumers from being taken advantage of by unscrupulous credit card companies or mortgage lenders.
And then, we believe there are some things that Washington should just stay out of -- like we believe no politician -- especially a whole bunch of male politicians in Washington -- should control the health care choices women can make for themselves. (Applause.)
Now, for eight years, we had a President who shared these beliefs -- his name was Bill Clinton. (Applause.) And so we were able to put our ideas to the test. His economic plan when he came in asked the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more so we could reduce our deficit and invest in the skills and ideas of our people.
And at the time, the Republican Congress -- and a Senate candidate by the name of Mitt Romney -- said that Bill Clinton's plan would hurt the economy and kill jobs. Turns out his math was just as bad back then as it is now. (Applause.) Because by the end of President Clinton's second term, America had created 23 million new jobs. And incomes were up, and poverty was down, and our deficit became the biggest surplus in history. So our ideas have been put to the test, we know they work.
Now, the other guy's ideas have been put to the test also -- because after President Clinton, we had eight years in which we tried giving big tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans. We tried giving insurance companies and oil companies and Wall Street a free license to do whatever they pleased. And what we got was falling incomes, and record deficits, and the slowest job growth in 50 years, and an economic crisis that we're still cleaning our way out of.
So -- stay with me here -- we've got ideas that work, and we've got ideas that don't work. And so the choice should be pretty clear. But Governor Romney is a very talented salesman, and so in this campaign he has tried as hard as he can to repackage the old ideas that didn't work as new ideas. In fact, he's offered them up as change -- says he's the candidate of change. (Laughter.)
Now, here's the thing, Cincinnati. It turns out we know what change looks like. (Applause.) And what Governor Romney is selling is not change. Giving more power back to the biggest banks -- that's not change. Another $5 trillion tax cut that favors the wealthy -- not change. Refusing to answer questions about the details of your policy until after the election --definitely not change. That's the oldest trick in the book. Ruling out compromise by pledging to rubber-stamp the tea party's agenda in Congress -- not change. Changing the facts when they're inconvenient to your campaign -- not change. (Applause.)
Governor Romney has been having a tough time here in Ohio because everybody knows he was against saving the auto industry in a state where one in eight jobs is connected to the American auto industry. So he decided to solve that problem by running ads that say the Jeep plant here in Ohio is shipping jobs to China -- even though everyone knows the Jeep plant isn't shipping jobs to China. That's not a good closing argument to the people of Ohio.
AUDIENCE: No!
THE PRESIDENT: And the problem is this isn't a game. You don't scare people just to scare up some votes. (Applause.) You don't have workers in the Jeep plant calling up their boss saying, am I about to lose my job, because they've seen an ad on TV that's not true. That's not what being President is all about. (Applause.)
And so when you're thinking about this choice, or your talking to your friends and neighbors about this choice, you've got to remind them it's not just about policy, it's also about trust, who do you trust.
AUDIENCE: You!
THE PRESIDENT: Look, Ohio, you know me by now. (Applause.) You may not agree with every decision I've made -- Michelle doesn't agree with me on everything -- (laughter) -- you may sometimes be frustrated at the pace of change. I get frustrated at the pace of change sometimes. But you know I say what I mean and I mean what I say. (Applause.)
I said I'd end the war in Iraq -- I ended the war in Iraq. (Applause.) I said I'd pass health care reform -- I passed it. (Applause.) I said I'd repeal "don't ask, don't tell" -- I repealed it. (Applause.) I said I'd help young people afford a college education -- we expanded Pell grants, lowered student loans. (Applause.) I do what I say.
You know where I stand and you know what I believe. You know I tell the truth. And you know I'll fight for you and your families every single day as hard as I know how. (Applause.)
So when I tell you I know what real change looks like, it's because I've fought for it; because I delivered it; because I've got the scars to prove it -- because that's why my hair went gray. (Applause.) And, Ohio, after all we've been together, we can't give up on it now. We've got to keep on going and bring some more change to America. (Applause.) We've got more work to do.
So let me tell you, over the next four years here's what change is. Change is a country where every American has a shot at a great education. Now, government can't do this alone; parents have to parent, students have to study. Bearcats, I want you to hit the books now. Don't just have fun here. (Applause.) But don't tell me that hiring more teachers won't help this economy grow -- of course it will. (Applause.) Don't tell me that students who can't afford college should just borrow money from their parents. (Applause.) That wasn't an option for me, and I'll bet it's not an option for a lot of you.
That's why I want to cut the growth of tuition in half over the next 10 years. (Applause.) That's why I want to recruit 100,000 math and science teachers, so our kids don't fall behind the rest of the world. (Applause.) That's why I want to train 2 million Americans at our community colleges with the skills that businesses are hiring for right now. That's my plan. That's what change is. That's what we're fighting for in this election. (Applause.)
Change is when we live up to this country's legacy of innovation. I'm very proud that I bet on American workers, American ingenuity and the American auto industry. But I'm especially proud because we're not just building cars, we're building better cars here in Ohio, here in the Midwest, here in America -- (applause) -- cars that by the middle of the next decade will go twice as far on a gallon of gas. (Applause.) That helps our environment. That helps our economy. That helps our national security.
But we don't want to just stop at cars. We want advanced manufacturing all across this country. There are thousands of workers building long-lasting batteries, building wind turbines, building solar panels. (Applause.) I don't want a tax code that simply subsidizes oil company profits when they're making money hand over fist. I want to support the energy jobs of tomorrow. I want to support the new technology that will cut our oil imports in half. (Applause.) I don't want a tax code that rewards companies shipping jobs overseas. I want to reward companies investing here in Ohio, manufacturing with American workers. That's my plan for jobs and growth. That's the future I see. (Applause.)
Change is turning the page on a decade of war so we can do some nation-building here at home. As long as I'm Commander-in-Chief, we will pursue our enemies with the strongest military the world has ever known. But it's time for us to use some of the savings from ending the wars in Iraq and winding down, transitioning in Afghanistan to pay down our debt, to rebuild America. (Applause.) Let's put some folks back to work right now repairing roads and bridges. And there's a bridge right here in Cincinnati that needs some work. (Applause.) Let's make sure we've got schools that are state-of-the-art all across this country. And let's, especially, hire our veterans, because if you fought for this country and its freedom, you shouldn't have to fight for a job when you come home. (Applause.)
That's what will keep us strong. That's my commitment to you. And that's what's at stake in this election.
Change is a future where we reduce our deficit and our debt, but we do it in a balanced, responsible way. I've signed a trillion dollars' worth of spending cuts; I intend to do more. But if we're serious about our deficit, we can't just cut our way to prosperity. We've also got to ask the wealthiest Americans to go back to the same tax rates they paid when Bill Clinton was in office. (Applause.) And the reason, Cincinnati, is because a budget is about choices. It's about values. It's about priorities. We can't do everything. We've got to make some decisions in terms of what's important.
And as long as I'm President, I won't turn Medicare into a voucher just to pay for another millionaire's tax cut. (Applause.) I won't throw kids off of Head Start just to pay for another tax cut for me. I don't need it. (Applause.) Those kids need it; I don't need it.
So we know what change is. We know what the future requires. And we also know it's not easy. It's not easy bringing about change. Back in 2008, when we talked about change we believe in, I warned people -- look, I wasn't just talking about changing presidents; I wasn't just talking about changing political parties; I was talking about changing how our system of politics works.
I ran because the voices of the American people -- your voices -- had been shut out of our democracy for way too long by lobbyists and special interests and politicians who will say and do whatever it takes just to keep things the way they are. (Applause.) The protectors of the status quo -- they're powerful. And they've fought us every step of the way in Washington. They spent millions to try to stop us from reforming health care; spent millions to try to stop us from reforming Wall Street. And when we got all those things through, they engineered a strategy of gridlock in Congress, refusing to compromise even on ideas that both Democrats and Republicans used to support -- like Obamacare, which started out in Massachusetts under Governor Romney. (Applause.) It worked fine when a Republican was sponsoring it, and suddenly it was terrible when a Democrat put it forward. (Laughter.)
And the reason they've done this -- look, it's a strategy. They made a calculation. What they're counting on is that you will be so worn down by all the squabbling, you'll be tired of all the dysfunction, you'll just be fed up and you'll ultimately give up on the idea of change -- you'll walk away, you'll leave them in power, you'll decide things can't change.
AUDIENCE: No!
THE PRESIDENT: In other words, their bet is on cynicism. But, Ohio, my bet is on you. (Applause.) My bet is on you. My bet is on the common sense and decency of the American people.
And, by the way, this is not a partisan idea. When the other party has been willing to work with me to advance the cause of middle-class and working-class families, I've been right there with them. We worked with Republicans and Democrats to cut middle-class taxes, to cut taxes for small businesses. We came together to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" -- we had some courageous Republican senators get involved. (Applause.)
I will work with anybody of any party to move this country forward. And if you want to break the gridlock in Congress, you vote for leaders -- whether they're Democrats, Republicans, independents -- who feel the same way, who put you first, who don't put politics or the next election first. (Applause.)
But if we want meaningful change that actually helps families, then we also have some principles. There have to be some things that we're willing to fight for. If the price of peace in Washington is cutting deals that kick students off of financial aid, or get rid of funding for Planned Parenthood, or let insurance companies discriminate against people with preexisting conditions, or eliminate health care for millions on Medicaid who are poor or elderly or disabled, then that's a price I'm not willing to pay. (Applause.)
That's not bipartisanship. That's not change. That's surrender to the same status quo that has hurt too many families for too long. And I am not ready to give up on the fight just yet. (Applause.) I am not ready to give up on that fight. (Applause.) And I hope you aren't either, Ohio. I hope you aren't either.
See, the folks at the very top in this country, they don't need another champion in Washington. They will always have a seat at the table. They will always have access and influence. The people who need a champion are the Americans whose letters I read late at night when I get up from the Oval Office; the men and women I meet on the campaign trail every day.
The laid-off worker who has to go back at the age of 55 to retrain at a community college -- she needs a champion. The restaurant owner who has some really good food but not a lot of money, and needs a loan to expand after the bank turned him down -- he needs a champion. (Applause.)
The cooks and the waiters and the cleaning staff working overtime at a Cincinnati hotel, trying to save enough to buy a first home or send their kid to college -- they need a champion. (Applause.) The autoworker back on a job, feeling proud because he's building a great car -- he needs a champion. (Applause.) That teacher in a classroom, overcrowded classroom -- (applause) -- digging into her own pocket to buy school supplies, not getting the support she needs, but knowing maybe this day that one child will learn something, and that makes it all worthwhile -- she needs a champion. (Applause.)
All those kids in inner cities and small farm town, in the valleys of Ohio, the rolling Virginia hills -- kids dreaming of becoming scientists or doctors or engineers or entrepreneurs, businessmen, diplomats, maybe even a President -- they need a champion in Washington. They don't have a lobbyist. (Applause.) The future doesn't have the same kind of lobbyists as the status quo, but it's the dreams of those children that will be our saving grace.
And that's why I need you, Ohio -- to make sure their voices are heard, to make sure your voices are heard. (Applause.) We've come too far to turn back now. We've come too far to let our hearts grow faint. We've got to keep pushing forward -- (applause) -- to educate all our kids, and train all our workers, to create new jobs, to bring our troops home, to care for our veterans, to broaden opportunity, to grow a middle class, to restore our democracy -- to make sure that no matter who you are, or where you come from, or how you started out, or what you look like, you can make it in America. (Applause.) You can make it if you try.
And, Ohio, that's why I'm asking you for your vote. I need you, Ohio. (Applause.) And if you're willing to work with me, and knock on some doors with me, if you're willing to early vote for me, make some phone calls for me, turn out for me, we'll win Ohio. (Applause.) We will win this election. We'll renew the bonds and reaffirm the spirit that makes the United States of America the greatest nation on Earth. (Applause.)
God bless you. And God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)

wikiHow to Complete the Silver Hand Quest in Skyrim
"The Silver Hand" is the third quest in the Companions storyline in Skyrim. During this stage, your main character, the Dragonborn, will have the chance to become a werewolf in order to complete a special mission. "The Silver Hand" quest is not part of the main Skyrim storyline, and is optional to engage into once you're playing the game.
1Talk to Skjor. After completing the "Proving Honor" quest, go to the Jorrvaskr (the easternmost hall in Whiterun) and talk to Skjor, a bald man with face paints, and ask for a job. He will tell you to meet him in the Underforge at night.
2Head to the Underforge. Once the night arrives, take the path on the left side of the Jorrvaskr; this will lead you to a secret opening on the stone wall leading to the Underforge. Go through the secret opening and inside you should find Aela—a female companion—and Skjor.
3Begin the ritual. Aela will transform into a werewolf, and Skjor will knife her arm and pour some blood on the fountain in the middle of the room. Approach the fountain and press the "Activate" button on your controller to have your Dragonborn drink the blood from the fountain.
4Roam around as a werewolf. After drinking the blood from the fountain, the screen will darken, and the next scene will show your character standing outside Whiterun, now in werewolf form. You can run around the city and kill some of the guards you see in the area.
- After a few seconds the screen will turn dark again, and the next scene will be your character now back in its normal form.
5Go to Gallows Rock. After turning back to normal form, Aela will tell you that you need to eliminate a group of werewolf hunters called the Silver Hand residing in a place called Gallows Rock.
- Exit Whiterun and travel straight eastwards for a few miles past the Valtheim towers and you'll find a small encampment with a torn down watch tower in the middle. This is Gallows Rock.
6Turn into a werewolf and enter the dungeon. Approach the door you see on the encampment and pull down the chain next to it to open the pathway into Gallows Rock.
- Once the door is open, open your in-game menu and select "Magic." Select "Powers" from the menu panel on the right-hand side of the game screen and choose "Beast Form." Your main character will now turn into a werewolf.
7Kill all the Silver Hand. All you need to do now is to enter the dungeon and kill every enemy found inside while in beast form. Once the Silver Hand has been wiped out, talk to Aela again and the "Silver Hand" quest will be completed.

200 characters leftSubmit
- The Beast form lasts for only 150 seconds.
- Consume corpses by approaching the dead bodies and pressing the "Feed" button on your controller. This will extend your beast form for 30 seconds more.
- While in beast/werewolf form, the entire in-game menu (maps, skills, item, and magic) is inaccessible.
- You can only turn into the beast form once a day.

Written on: 21/06/2013 by matteroftime (1 review written)
I placed my order for a Samsung camera for my girlfriends birthday on the 5th if June. The item in question was listed as in stock and cost around £280. It was cheaper than else where and they would have it with me between the 10th and the 12th of June (her birthday was the 20th).
The 12th arrived and no delivery, I logged in and it was not even listed as dispatched. I emailed them to ask what the hold up was. I was already annoyed that they hadn't bothered to tell me that there would be a delay. I received an apologetic response and was informed there was a delay (basically confirming what I had told them) and asking if I wanted a refund or if I wanted to wait. I still had a week until her birthday so I said I would wait, but could they confirm when it would arrive.
They did not get back to me to confirm when it would arrive.
A couple of days passed and the status still has not changed to dispatched. The item was still listed as in stock however on their website. I emailed again and said please tell me why it's not been delivered and when it will be delivered. I was informed that it was a hold up with their supplier, that the in stock comment was based on their information (so essentially it's in stock somewhere, not with them though) and they were expecting a delivery in 3-5 days.
Despite my direct questions they did not tell me if my item would be in that delivery, when I could expect to receive my item or if anything would be done to speed up the process (ie. next day delivery when they did receive it).
Her birthday has now passed, I still have not received my item, I still have not been told when I will recieve it, they have offered no reassurance about when it will arrive, any steps they will take to compensate me (please not store credit, I would never buy from them again) and the only reason I have not accepted their offer of a refund (yet) is because from the reviews I have now read it seems I would wait a further 30 days to recieve my money back.
As such the best case scenario is now that my girlfriend receives her gift a week late, worst case a month + late after I get my money back and buy it (at increased cost) from a reputable retailer.
I will tell anyone that will listen not to use WAE+ under any circumstances, every step of my experience has been frustrating and ultimately it has taken any joy from giving this gift.

Anthony's Body Piercing & Tattoo
A place where quality and integrity are our top priorities!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long will it take my piercing to heal?
A. As long as you take good care of your piercing here are the general guidelines for healing time:
|Eyebrows, ear lobes, lip, nipple
|about 4 to 6 weeks
|7 to 14 days
|Belly and cartilage piercings (nose and ear)
|4 to 12 weeks
Q. Can I go swimming or be in a hot tub with my new piercing?
A. Try to avoid any rivers, lakes or ponds that can have high bacteria levels. Be sure to clean your piercing thoroughly immediately after swimming.
Q. Can I smoke or drink with my new tongue piercing?
A. No, but if you have to, please remember to rinse your mouth thoroughly immediately after.
Q. Why can't I have my cartilage pierced with the gun? (nose and ear)
A. A needle should always be used when piercing cartilage. A piercing needle removes a very small piece of cartilage, therefore, making room for the jewellery. This also allows for the use of proper jewellery (e.g. stainless steel hoop, nose pin, or nose screw instead of a plain piercing stud).
The gun involves using a sharpened stud to do the piercing. The stud forces its way through the cartilage, forcing the cartilage to spread to accommodate the jewellery. This results in swelling, a lump, extended healing time and more permanent scarring. Health Unit guidelines state that the gun should only be used on the ear lobe.
Q. When can I change my jewellery?
A. You can change the jewellery when the piercing is fully-healed. The jewellery that you were pierced with is the best for healing. The fancy jewellery is only meant for fully-healed piercings as they contain a mixture of metals. Only change your piercing when it is fully-healed or recommended by your piercer. If you're not sure, come in and see us!! If you buy jewellery from us, we will change it for you for free!
Q. What's better--the barbell or the ring?
A. I have found through our many years of experience that using the barbell on the belly and eyebrow has shown to heal better and results in less complications. Barbells are more user-friendly while rings require special tools to remove it. If your piercer has told you different, it's because they haven't learned the proper barbell-piercing technique--Rings are much easier to use when piercing. We have mastered the barbell piercing technique and using barbells has become our standard.
Q. How old do I have to be to get a piercing and/or a tattoo?
A. For piercing, we will pierce clients between 14 and 16 years old only if accompanied by their legal guardian. We will pierce clients 16 years and over without parental consent.
For tattoos, we will tattoo any client that is 18 years or older without parental consent. We will tattoo a client that is 16 or 17 years of age, but the art must be tasteful, and the client must be accompanied by their legal guardian.
Clients will be required to fill out a waiver and release form and show proof of age. The acceptable forms of identification include:
Q. How do I change my ring?
A. This clip will show you how....
Q. Should I take out my jewellery when I clean my piercing?
A. No you should not. Over-rotating and removing the jewellery can cause unnecessary irritation. Only remove the jewellery when cleaning, when the piercing is fully-healed.

EXCLUSIVE: Brendan Rodgers set to be named as Swansea boss
Swans chairman Huw Jenkins wants to keep the Irishman's return to the Liberty Stadium under wraps out of respect to current manager Francesco Guidolin.
But Starsport understands a £90,000-a-week deal has been agreed with Rodgers, who has been out of work since being sacked by Liverpool in October.
He was axed after a 1-1 draw with Everton, which left the Anfield side in tenth place, and replaced by German Jurgen Klopp.

Key Points
- Lupus is a disease that presents across a broad spectrum of cutaneous and systemic manifestations. It may be cutaneous-only or systemic with cutaneous manifestations; some patients with systemic lupus do not have cutaneous involvement. Diagnostic evaluation of a patient with lupus should be aimed at understanding which form of lupus the patient has; the specific diagnosis should inform appropriate treatment.
- Since the faces of patients with the classic facial eruption of systemic lupus erythematosus usually clear with treatment of their systemic disease, only the management of more common forms of cutaneous lupus will be discussed here. The four forms of cutaneous lupus discussed are: discoid lupus, subacute cutaneous lupus, lupus profundus, and bullous lupus.
- Subcutaneous lupus may be drug-induced in etiology.
Clinically, the cutaneous presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may have specific or non-specific features. Specific cutaneous signs include malar (butterfly) facial rash, discoid skin lesions, oral ulcers, and photosensitivity, especially in combination with systemic symptoms. Non-specific skin signs of systemic lupus include chilblains (pernio), livedo reticularis, vasculitis, and other (non-oral) ulcerations.
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) may be divided into four subtypes: discoid lupus, subacute cutaneous lupus, lupus profundus, and bullous lupus. These subtypes can usually be distinguished by characteristic cutaneous features (see Table 1). Of note, these specific forms of cutaneous lupus may also occur in association with systemic lupus erythematosus. It is also important to note that some patients with cutaneous-only lupus may meet criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus.
The diagnosis of cutaneous lupus may be confirmed by skin biopsy, which in general reveals a vacuolar interface dermatitis, often in association with a lymphocytic infiltrate with plasma cells, epidermal atrophy, and mucin. Variants exist, such as bullous lupus, which is marked by the presence of bullous lesions clinically and histologically, the infiltrate of which may be comprised of neutrophils rather than lymphocytes. Lupus profundus has less epidermal and interface involvement, with the focus of inflammation in the subcutaneous fat. A direct immunofluorescence testing of the skin biopsy will reveal characteristic patterns, depending on the form of cutaneous lupus.
The goal of treatment for cutaneous lupus is directed at inflammation of the skin, and often requires systemic therapy. Prevention of cutaneous flares is essential, and avoidance of sun exposure and any exacerbating medications are key elements. Medications associated with subacute cutaneous lupus include: anti-fungal medications (terbinafine more commonly than griseofulvin), hydrochlorothiazide, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers, interferons, anticonvulsants (carbamazepine, phenytoin), glyburide, penicillamine, spironolactone, statins, psoralen, sulfonylurea, NSAIDs (piroxicam, naproxen), diltiazem, biologics (etanercept, efalizumab), antihistamines (ranitidine), and chemotherapy (docetaxel). Stopping the triggering medication will lead to resolution, but only over several months.
Table 1. Subtypes of cutaneous lupus

First-line treatment: Photoprotection is critical for all patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE). Inflammation should be targeted via topical, intralesional, or systemic immunosuppression, or a combination therapeutic approach. Treatment requires monitoring and adjustment according to the activity of cutaneous disease.
Patients with cutaneous lupus lesions should undergo diagnostic evaluation for possible systemic lupus erythematosus. All patients with CLE should have laboratory parameters checked for the development of SLE at routine intervals.
Initial therapy
- Topical corticosteroids: Prescribe a potent topical corticosteroid such as desonide 0.05% or triamcinolone 0.1% ointment b.i.d. (face) or superpotent such as fluocinonide 0.05% or clobetasol 0.05% ointment b.i.d. (body), to be applied b.i.d. to areas of active disease.
- Intralesional corticosteroids: Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (such as Kenalog, 10 mg/cc) diluted 1:1 or 1:2 with lidocaine 1% (final steroid concentration 3.33-5 mg/cc) can be administered to active lesions or deeper (i.e., dermal or subcutaneous) lesions. Do not perform this therapy more often than once every 3-4 weeks to minimize atrophy.
- All patients with CLE should practice strict photoprotection and sun avoidance, as even minimal sun exposure can result in further spread or reactivation of quiescent disease. Photoprotection should include physical barriers (hats, protective clothing, gloves), as well as broad spectrum UVA/UVB-blocking sunscreens for exposed areas of skin. Sunscreens should contain UVA-blocking agents such as mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide), mexoryl (SX or XL), and/or parsol 1789. As a result of photoprotection and sun avoidance, patients may become deficient in vitamin D levels; vitamin D should be supplemented in the diet and levels monitored.
Alternative therapy
- Antimalarials (such as hydroxychloroquine 4-6.5 mg/kg/day and chloroquine 250 mg daily) are an effective therapeutic option. Baseline and screening ophthalmologic exams should be performed, as this therapy can be associated with some irreversible ocular toxicities. These antimalarials may be used in combination with quinacrine (50-100 mg daily), a third antimalarial not associated with ocular toxicity.
- Systemic corticosteroids are sometimes effective for patients in whom antimalarials are contraindicated. A typical regimen consists of prednisone 0.5 mg/kg daily for 2-3 weeks, followed by tapering if a response occurs. A more prolonged 4-6 week course with tapering may be used if the response is slow.
- Alternative treatments for refractory cases of CLE that do not respond to antimalarials include azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, or thalidomide. Systemic retinoids and methotrexate may also lead to resolution of symptoms and is in the therapeutic ladder for CLE.
- Dapsone 50-200 mg/day usually leads to a rapid resolution of the bullous lesions.
Ancillary therapy
Camouflage techniques are particularly helpful in dark-skinned patients with DLE. Several lines of cosmetics are designed to mask pigmentary abnormalities such as those in DLE (e.g., Dermablend, Covermark). These cosmetics often are available only in cosmetic departments of large department stores.
- Topical and intralesional steroids may cause epidermal or dermal atrophy and can themselves produce pigmentary abnormalities. Prolonged or excessive usage can worsen the disfigurement in CLE. Intralesional steroids may be associated with exacerbation of lupus profundus lesions and should be used with caution.
- Antimalarials may be associated with both reversible and irreversible ocular toxicity. Baseline and monitoring ophthalmological evaluation (every 6-12 months) is recommended.
- Antimalarials can cause acute hemolysis in G6PD-deficient patients; hence, a screen for this enzyme must be obtained prior to initiation of therapy.
- Quinacrine (Atabrine) can cause a yellow discoloration of the skin.
- The most common side effects of dapsone therapy are hemolysis and a hypersensitivity syndrome.
- Cosmetic surgical correction of lesions of lupus profundus, even when inactive, may be associated with exacerbation of disease and should be undertaken with caution.
When to refer to a dermatologist
- If the diagnosis of lupus is not clear
- If the form of cutaneous lupus cannot be distinguished
- For patients who fail topical steroids, especially for management of systemic immunosuppression or antimalarial medication dosing and monitoring

If you're just starting out in worship leading, the right of worship leader tips could make a huge impact on your ministry. The problem is, getting useful worship leader tips out of experienced leaders can often be extremely difficult, because they do not want to reveal the secrets that allow them to lead praise and worship successfully.
The Top 5 Worship Leader Tips
I have been leading worship in small and large meetings around the world for the last 25 years, and I believe it is time those of us who are experienced encourage others who are following! The purpose of this article is to share with you my top five worship leader tips, ideas and techniques that I have proven again and again on stage, in hope that it will encourage you in your ministry if you're just starting out.
Worship Leader Tips 1: Choose Your Songs Carefully
One of the best worship leader tips I can offer is that you choose your songs carefully. One of the classic mistakes young worship leaders make is that they choose songs that they like, rather than ones that the audience enjoys. Only ever introduce one new song, and make sure all the other songs are known and loved by your congregation. In fact, even if you lead poorly, if you have chosen the right songs that people love and enjoy (and know) then you'll be popular!
Worship Leader Tips 2: Keep to Time
If you want to avoid criticism one of the best worship leader tips I can offer is that you keep to time. To go grossly over time is disrespectful of your pastor and also your congregation, but young worship leaders often get so caught up in what they are doing they think that everybody is enjoying it as much as they are. So whether the worship goes well or badly, always make sure you keep to your allotted time.
Worship Leader Tips 3: Blend Your Songs into a Continuous Experience
Blending your worship songs into each other provides a continuous experience for your listeners, and one that they will enjoy far more than a series of stop-start songs. If you are competent musicians, try to select songs in a similar key that allowed them to be run together, and if all goes well your audience will lose themselves in worship!
Worship Leader Tips 4: Read your Audience
One of the most important worship leader tips I can offer is actually a skill that you need to develop. It is important that you learn to read your audience, so you can see if they are with you or not as you worship, and you can encourage them along the way. Many novice worship leaders are worshiping on stage, but the congregation are yawning and checking their phones! You need to read your audience and lead you audience into a deeper experience of God.
Worship Leader Tips 5: Get Some Training
One of the most important worship leader tips is to get some training. There is some great worship leader training courses, and many of these are far less expensive than attending a conference! However, because you can read the material many times over and slowly but surely apply to your own ministry, the right sort of worship leading training can make a vast difference in your ministry.
As a long-term and experienced leader, I have many ideas and techniques that I've made available to the young worship leader. If you take the time to study the right material, you can supercharge your leading by incorporating the right worship leader tips into your own ministry.

The UT Libraries' online imprint, Newfound Press, has just published the autobiography of internationally renowned sociologist Arthur Vidich.
Arthur J. Vidich (1922-2006) was an active researcher and teacher whose career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. With a Critical Eye: An Intellectual and His Times recounts Vidich's career in the wider cultural context of his life and work. Providing a window into post-World War II intellectual life, the richness of the autobiography lies not only in Vidich's perspectives on the academic world, but also in his personal and sociological observations about the world around him.
Best known for his book Small Town in Mass Society (co-authored with Joseph Bensman, 1958), Vidich taught for more than forty years at the New School for Social Research in New York. He published eighteen books, co-edited a book series with Robert Jackall, and was the founding editor of the International Journal of Politics, Culture, and Society.
Robert Jackall, Willmott Family Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Williams College and editor of the autobiography, focuses his introduction on "Vidich's stance as an outsider, a habit of mind initially fostered by his family's social situation and later embraced by him as essential for the kind of understanding he wished to achieve and impart to others."
Vidich "provides a valuable lens … on a profoundly important time in the formation of the modern social sciences, when the changes in the U.S. were having formative impacts on academe in other parts of the world," writes Robert J. Antonio, professor of sociology at the University of Kansas. "The autobiography is lucidly and unpretentiously written."
Newfound Press, a peer-reviewed digital imprint of the University of Tennessee Libraries, seeks innovative approaches to the creation and dissemination of scholarly and specialized work. With a Critical Eye: An Intellectual and His Times and other Newfound Press publications are freely available online at www.newfoundpress.utk.edu, and printed copies may be purchased from University of Tennessee Press via the website.

Is the Higgs boson what had been expected, as physicists currently estimate, or could it lead to a new chapter in modern physics?
If we want proof of how extreme weather conditions can effect political change, Prof. Ronnie Ellenblum says we just need to look to the Mediterranean Basin a thousand or so years ago.
A group of 30 scientists, led by a biologist from Israel's Weizmann Institute, spend a month adrift in the north Atlantic Ocean in hopes of unlocking the ecological secrets hidden in simple, slimy sea algae.
Maria Chudnovsky, an Israeli-American graduate of the Haifa Technion was one of 23 recipients to receive the award, which comes with a check for $500,000.
Scientists are struggling to build a comprehensive theory of how the brain works, with one team working on a computer simulation of a billion nerve cells and the connections between them.
Israeli researchers have zeroed in on a protein linked to long-term memory, allowing them to explore ways to combat memory loss in age-related Alzheimer's and dementia.
The 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics will be awarded next month, with the recent discovery of the Higgs boson sparking mass conjecture about the likely winners. However, apportioning credit for this historic scientific find is no simple matter.
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute have developed a method to expedite the analysis of genetic syntax, in an attempt to advance our understanding of the genome.

Arduino TRE Dev. Edition is now available! Join us in the Beta Testing Program
We are excited to announce that starting today a limited batch of 50 Arduino TRE Developer Edition boards is available in the Arduino Store.
The Arduino TRE Developer Edition (see other pics) is a pre-production board. Its release kicks off our redesigned Beta Testing Program: anyone in the community who purchases the board will be able to give us feedback and suggestions in a new, direct way.
After buying the board you'll receive an invitation to join the beta-testing program, as a beta-tester you will be able to contribute to the development of the board by signing up for tasks and projects. You'll be working alongside the Arduino and BeagleBoard.org teams on tasks such as writing examples, testing libraries and external hardware, and making projects. Completed tasks will be rewarded with a special program of benefits, including the possibility of featuring your project on the Arduino blog and receiving a coupon for the same value of the TRE Developer Edition you purchased. We will be beta-testing the board for about three months.
As many of you already know, the Arduino TRE is not a typical Arduino board. It's a Linux computer running on a Sitara processor, plus a full Arduino Leonardo. It builds upon the experience of both Arduino and BeagleBoard.org, combining the strengths of both.
When using Arduino TRE you'll see a new editor (IDE) that has been specifically developed for this board. The TRE IDE comes pre-installed with the onboard Linux and is accessible via a web browser. It builds upon the simplicity of the Arduino software experience, while adding a few new powerful features (such as uploading sketches from the onboard Linux) and a refreshed UI.Please keep in mind that the final release could differ to any degree from this one. By being part of the beta program you will be notified in realtime of any change in the hardware or software so that your product or application will be fully compatible with the release version.
The Arduino TRE final board will be available later this year, pending results of Beta Testing Program.Arduino TRE Developer edition will be also at Maker Faire Bay Area next weekend! Come and visit us at the Arduino booth (#204).

"Movin' Out", the Tony Award-winning musical conceived, choreographed and directed by Twyla Tharp, based on 24 classic songs by Billy Joel, was performed in Athens at The Classic Center on Tuesday night.
Told through the choreography of Twyla Tharp and more than two dozen of Billy Joel's songs, "Movin' Out" is the story of lifelong friends through two turbulent decades.
Songs like "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me," "We Didn't Start the Fire," and "Pressure" all come together to weave a musical backdrop that complement Tharp's innovative choreography.

erin_s_mil1939517wrote a review of Osprey Packs Poco Plus Kid Carrier - 1404cu in on September 18, 2012
BEST Pack!!
We could not be happier with this! Love the hip belt that adjusts easily & the sun shade on the Plus version is worth the money! We?ve forgotten her hat & come across winds that have been alleviated with the shade.
We do a lot of berry picking too & the bending over has been fine with the pack. Our little 1 year old LOVES it too! She?s content, as we have kept her sitting up pretty high in it, with the adjustments & she loves being able to fully be part of our treks. We?ve even taken her to a wedding in this! Airport also was a blessing to have this! No dirty looks from people getting mad that the stroller is taking up so much room & is in the way. We can walk fast, keep our pace & haven?t missed using the stroller once! The storage is perfect, just the right amount for our gear as well as her light items.
Definitely worth the price & we have been super happy with it! Oh and it cleans up so well! Blackberries our little one smeared on the strap- came right off! I was shocked, as in typical attire it?s a job to get out.

UI.HSCurses.Curses follows ncurses quite closely so you can get pretty far reading the NCurses Programming HOWTO: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/ .Don't forget to have the ncurses man pages handy - usually you'll just need to lowercase the name of a HSCurses function to get the name of the same function in ncurses. If you're going to be using colours or styles (bold, underline, etc), do take a look at CursesHelper too - its API documentation is somewhat better than Curses's.

SAN FRANCISCO — Wednesday at AT&T Park, we saw a good example — perhaps the perfect example — of why baseball needs no performance enhancing drugs to be vastly entertaining.
Here was Toronto's R.A. Dickey, unleashing his knuckleball at 63 mph and making Giants hitters flail or flummox themselves into a 4-0 loss.
Here was the Giants' Barry Zito with his state-of-the-teardrop 78 mph curveball, stifling the Blue Jays in all but one of his six innings — a weird fifth when he was partially undone by three stolen bases and a slap-bunt double by Dickey.
Neither pitcher has been connected to steroid or synthetic-testosterone rumors. Power pitchers, they are not. Clean pitchers, they surely are.
Yet like all other major league players, their integrity was sullied once more this week by another PED scandal. Supposedly, MLB is ready to unload a raft of 100-game suspensions on 20 or more players whose names are connected to a sleazy clinic in Miami.
After the game, I asked Zito if he ever gets angry at the continuing parade of violators who keep staining his game. Zito, in his Zen manner, said he's glad baseball brings down the PED hammer harder than other sports (the NFL's standard PED suspension lasts four games). But he can't allow himself to be counterproductively incensed — or even surprised — that certain MLB players still cheat.
"I don't know everybody's individual situation," Zito said. "You know, some people are always going to try and get an edge. But I'm all for accountability. I think it's a good thing to try and get it out of the game."
Zito's manager, Bruce Bochy, used a little stronger language about the potential 100-game bans.
"I always thought they should be a little stricter to keep these players from trying to beat the system," he said. "I'm all for stiffer penalties."
Buckle up, then. If the ESPN reports are correct, this summer could bring the largest and most awesome wave of penalties, ever. Some of the game's biggest names — including Ryan Braun and Alex Rodriguez — could sit down for a very long time.
It's all happening because a gentleman named Tony Bosch, who operated the Biogenesis clinic, allegedly has cut a deal with the MLB police. Bosch says he will name names and outline the various substances that he provided to almost two dozen major leaguers.
Some of those players, such as A's pitcher Bartolo Colon, have served previous suspensions. But if those players made proven false statements to MLB investigators about their involvement with Bosch, those lies would constitute a second offense under the most recent Joint Drug Agreement between players and owners. Credible testimony from Bosch, combined with Biogenesis lab records, could be devastating.
All banned players can appeal their suspensions and delay punishment. But clearly, MLB plans to sink its teeth into this and not let go. And who knows where that might eventually lead, if the 100-game suspensions don't dissuade cheaters?
The most drastic step would be to adopt the NCAA's approach and punish entire teams by forcing them to "vacate" titles. Under that standard, the Giants' World Series title of 2012 would be "vacated" because they reached the playoffs with the help of a PED user — Melky Cabrera, who happened to be in the house Wednesday as a member of the Blue Jays.
Of course, it's unlikely MLB would seek to institute such harsh punishment. You know what would be helpful, though? If fans more consistently showed their disdain for unapologetic cheaters. Last summer, Cabrera was suspended for 50 games and left the Giants without an apology to teammates or fans. So whenever Cabrera came to the plate Tuesday or Wednesday, he was booed lustily by the AT&T crowd.
But were the boos for Cabrera's PED crimes? Or for way Cabrera dissed "their" team?
By now, any educated baseball follower should know why PEDs are bad for the game. They pervert statistics. They damage players' long-term health. They are unfair to players who don't use them when cheaters take jobs and/or salaries away from the clean guys.
So this is my humble request for fans everywhere: Keep those boos coming for cheaters who don't apologize and who are repeat offenders. But don't make those boos provincial. Make them into an unswerving statement. Baseball is a great game without artificial enhancement. We saw why Wednesday. If the upcoming suspensions give us more of the same, that's worth some cheers.
