Ovary - nontumor
Gonadal dysgenesis
Testicular feminization
Reviewer: Mohiedean Ghofrani, M.D, (see Reviewers page)
Revised: 28 December 2011, last major update December 2011
Copyright: (c) 2002-2012, PathologyOutlines.com, Inc.
● Male genotype (46,XY), but impaired or absent masculinization of male genitalia or development of male secondary sexual characteristics at puberty due to partial or complete inability of cells to respond to androgens (androgen insensitivity)
● Most common type of male pseudohermaphroditism
● Patients present with amenorrhea or sterility
● Vagina but no uterus
● Also, bilateral cryptorchid testes with nodular masses of immature tubules resembling Sertoli-Leydig tumor
● Also called androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS)
● Divided into three categories:
● Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS): normal female external genitalia
● Mild androgen insensitivity syndrome (MAIS): normal male external genitalia
● Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS): partially but not fully masculinized external genitalia
● Most commonly, a mutation in the androgen receptor (AR) gene
● Other etiologies include: chromosomal abnormalities, dysfunctional androgen biosynthesis, developmental syndromes, teratogens
Clinical features
● Depending on the severity of androgen insensitivity, patients may present with male, female or ambiguous phenotype
● Given the presence of a Y-chromosome (more specifically, SRY gene), gonads are testes regardless of phenotype
● Physical exam may reveal a vagina but no ovaries or uterus
Prognostic factors
● 9% develop tumors in cryptorchid testis, which should be removed after puberty
Case reports
● 36 year old with abdominal seminoma (J Obstet Gynaecol Res 2004;30:109)
● Currently limited to symptomatic management, including sex assignment, genitoplasty, gonadectomy, hormone replacement, counseling
Gross images
Multiple hamartomas are present in a background of brown parenchyma. Nodule at each upper (medial) pole is a mass of smooth muscle; the small white nodule at the lower (lateral) pole of the left testis was composed largely of fibromatous tissue and resembles an ovarian fibroma. The remaining hamartomas contained Sertoli and Leydig cells and stroma; a small adnexal cyst is present at the lower (lateral) pole of the left testis (AFIP)
Micro description (Histopathology)
● Bilateral cryptorchid testes with nodular masses of immature tubules resembling Sertoli-Leydig tumor
Micro images
Ovarian type stroma with a storiform pattern containing a few lutein-like cells envelops two small solid tubules containing Sertoli cells
Tubules containing immature Sertoli cells are separated by cells resembling Leydig cells
Testis is composed almost entirely of stroma resembling ovarian stroma
Hamartomas are composed of Sertoli and Leydig cells and lie in the upper left, testicular parenchyma is at lower right

I have been saying this will be the last year I will use ProSeries, but when it comes to transferring and converting all of my client files onto another tax software, I wince and reorder ProSeries. What a moron. When will I ever learn?
I was about to print out a tax return for a client meeting this morning; however, when I tried to launch ProSeries 2012 last night, guess what happened? Nothing: it would not open.
I had no trouble launching ProSeries 2011; no trouble launching Proseries 2010; no trouble launching ProSeries 2009. But ProSeries 2012...when it starts to launch, I always end up with the inevitable message, "ProSeries has stopped working...A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
This all started five hours ago, and now it's nearly 5 AM, and my client will be here at 8:30 AM, and I can't print out a tax return. Oh, God, how embarrassing. Brad Smith, where are you when I need you?!
Why didn't I know better than to accept the update from Intuit tonight? Why do I trust Intuit with its updates? I know better with the Java updates: I typically wait a thousand years before updating its scripts since I have spent many of days doing system restores and recoveries because of some kink which hasn't been worked out yet; however, wouldn't you, too, think there would be no difficulty uploading updates from Intuit during tax season? Wrong!
I guess Intuit cannot afford to have someone available in technical support on a 24/7 basis during tax season: after all, its revenues are only in the billions. Wouldn't you think it could afford, at the very least, a Bombay or a see-you-in-Manilla connection for a few months out of the year?
Without anyone on call, and desperate for a resolution, I sought assistance in the ProSeries Community online. If you are ever having difficulty with Intuit software, don't go there for help. Someone advised me to uninstall ProSeries, which I have been attempting to do, but am unable, since I keep getting an error message that one cannot uninstall a program that is running. The program is running?! Wanna make a bet?!
So I'll start calling technical support again at 8 AM Eastern time and try to obtain some assistance. Yeah, I know, I'll be placed on hold for at least an hour, during which time my client will have arrived, and I will be up blankety blank creek out of luck.... Do you think Brad Smith really cares about Intuit's clients?
Oh, well, another frustrating experience with Intuit. And another all nighter. Now aren't you glad you don't use ProSeries? Don't you wish all of your competitors used ProSeries?
Boy, Intuit is really there for you when you need them.
I don't like ProSeries. I don't like Intuit. And I am not particularly fond of Brad Smith either.

Organic Chlorella, 200 mg
Item #: 7821
Size: 300 Tablets
Single Price:
8 available for immediate delivery
Organic Chlorella Tablets
Organic Chlorella is a green superfood of pure algae in which the cells' wall have been broken to increase digestibility and nutrient availability. It is a rare vegetarian source of true vitamin B-12 and complete vegetarian protein. Chlorella gets its green color from the plant pigment, chlorophyll. This non-GMO chlorella is made from 100% organic, broken cell wall chlorella and is free of binders, fillers or excipients. Preliminary evidence, including some human research, suggests that chlorella may help support the health of the liver and the immune system.*
The popularity of the superfood is growing as more learn of the phytonutrient's health-promoting properties. Organic Chlorella is a nutritious, vegetarian source of protein, containing seven essential amino acids. This supplement is a powerhouse of energy and nutrients, an excellent alternative vegetarian protein source, and supplies your body with important vitamins and minerals. It is unique in that it not only nourishes the body with its complex array of nutrients, but it simultaneously cleanses the body of toxins. It has been shown that the tissues in the cell wall of Chlorella have a natural fixative power so they bind with heavy metals like mercury and cadmium, helping the body cleanse itself.
The essential fatty acids in Chlorella play a part in cell metabolism, as well as joint, heart, and brain health. Chlorella's wide-ranging benefits have been shown to support cells/DNA, circulation, blood sugar regulation, and immunity. More specifically, in clinical studies Chlorella has been shown to enhance cellular health, stimulate the immune system and support healthy cholesterol levels. Finally, clinical studies show that Chlorella is an effective antioxidant that helps rid the body of free radicals. The broad range of nutrients provides many with a feeling of energy and vitality.
Suggested Use: 10 tablets daily with meals
Warning: If you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your health care professional before using this product. Keep out of the reach of children.

Rebecca Eckler's going to lie around gorging on guacamole for six days in Mexico, with her fiancé and without her 10-week-old baby. Got a problem with that?
Never one to shy away from the spotlight, the Canadian mommy blogger is stirring chatter after oversharing that she'll be "ditching" her son shortly to spa it up.
"I'm not sure he's really going to miss me," Ms. Eckler writes in a piece for Mommyish.com, arguing that she doubts separation anxiety would take hold so early, and also that she has no clue what her little blob is thinking much of the time. "All I know is when he wants to eat, needs to burp, needs a diaper change, or a cuddle and that's only because he cries."
Ms. Eckler's "wonderful nanny" and her fiancé's mother will be tasked with reading those cues once the blogger sails off to her charity golf tournament in Mexico. She argues the experience might actually imbue the infant with a "sense of independence."
Most commenters on Mommyish.com didn't seem to care, pointing out it's Ms. Eckler's personal parenting choice. They did, however, take issue with her logic: If her son isn't old enough to notice his mom is missing, how will he simultaneously gain "a sense of independence" – as grandma and nanny change his diaper no less?
"You're not teaching a 10-week old anything," one commenter chimed in. "He barely knows if he's awake or asleep from one moment to the next. You're just leaving him with a different person-shaped-object that feeds him for a few days, and it isn't going to make any difference one way or another."
Ms. Eckler questioned whether she was being "cold-hearted," but concluded she's just "super laid-back," this being her second pregnancy. "I think a happy mom makes a happy child, and you know your child better than anyone else," she told ABC News.
"Nine months of pregnancy is a very long time and is very hard on a woman's body. Pretty much by two weeks in I think most women actually do need a vacation."
(Here, Mommyish commenter Amber beat Ms. Eckler to the punch: "Mom of three here – and yes, I have left my kids at home while I have went on vacation. The clincher is that my baby was five weeks when my husband and I got away. So, Rebecca, I have you beat in the 'worst mom of the year' category.")
Other readers spun the story into one about privilege: "It's the Eckler formula!" writes 1st-Time mommy. "Try to make lazy, apathetic parenting seem glamorous and enviable."
And never mind Mexico at 10 weeks, what about facing the end of paid maternity leave at six weeks, as is the case for many American women?

225 acres Hye, TX
It is hard to find an acreage of this size on HWY 290 between Stonewall and Johnson City, this gently rolling ranch has been cleared of most of the cedar (a few pockets have been left in several areas to provide cover for the game which is plentiful on the ranch) leaving lots of heritage oaks as well as some elm. Near the middle of the ranch is a large, flat, hilltop plateau that has views for endless miles, what a place for that dream home to be constructed! Electricity is located on several places on the ranch, including near the hilltop building site. Near the southern boundary is a pond, seasonal creek, and an old field. A good stand of native grasses has resulted from the removal of the cedar. The perimeter is fenced, condition rangi

Philadelphia (CNSNews.com) - Dorothy Bush Koch, younger sister of Texas Governor George W Bush, said Tuesday she is ready and eager to hit the campaign trail for her older brother.
In an interview with CNSNews.com at the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia, Koch said, while she is happy for her older brother, she still can't believe that the moment has finally arrived.
"Well, it's hard to believe that it's here. I mean, we've been working for a year-and-a-half to get to where we are, and, we're just so proud of George, we can hardly stand it," Koch told CNSNews.com.
The Bushes are used to politics. George Bush, Senior has been President and served in the House. Brother Jeb is governor of Florida, and, of course, the oldest Bush sibling, George W, is about to receive the formal Republican Party nomination for President.
However, Koch, whom her brothers have nicknamed "Doro," says there is something different about brother George's campaign.
"I think this campaign is different in that there's a great excitement because people are tired of what's been going on in the last 8 years. But we're all working just as hard as we've worked before, and we're getting ready for a tough campaign in the fall, but, a victorious one, too," Koch said.
Koch also praised her sister-in-law, Laura Bush, George W's wife, for the electrifying speech she gave on Monday night to convention delegates about education and how literary issues benefit American society.
"We're so proud of my sister-in-law. You know, Laura's been a great first lady of Texas and a great advocate for literacy and children's issues. It's so wonderful that the American people are getting to know her better and getting to know what a down-to-earth and solid, good person she is," Koch said.
When asked why people should vote for her brother George for President, Koch said, "I think people want to have lower taxes. I think people want to strengthen the military. I think people want education to be their top priority and that's true of George. Those are the things that he is going to be campaigning on and those are the things that I would talk about."
Koch continued, "... I would also tell people: if you want a President that children can look up to and be proud of, then you need to vote for George W Bush.
Koch also says she has no plans to follow the footsteps of her brothers, George and Jeb, by entering politics.
"I am not a governor and I will never be a governor. But, I am a mother of four fabulous children who are graciously allowing me to get out there and campaign hard for George, and it's been a privilege. You know, George knows that he can't get where he is unless he's got good people helping him, and that's my role," Koch said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ephedra makers came under attack in Congress on Wednesday, with a prominent lawmaker calling their conduct unacceptable and threatening tougher regulation of the dietary supplement, which has been linked to side effects that include heart attack and stroke.

Wal-Mart on the water: Carnival Fantasy Cruise Review by familyfunforfour
Overall Member Rating
Wal-Mart on the water
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Charleston
When we arrived on the ship, we walked around to familiarize ourselves with the different floors. The Fantasy is an old ship which has been refurbished, but it still rings of early 90's décor. We were all a little shocked to find only one functioning hot tub (unless you want to go to the adult only section, where there are two) and the smallest pool you could imagine! More on the pool/hot tub later. There was a sales pitch going on from the moment we stepped on board. Free spa tour and sample massage? Major sales pitch involving stopping at every room to get a hard sell on the "special" (note that there are a variety of "specials" every day, so whatever you do, do not pay full price in the spa!) There is a large casino, several smaller nightclubs, and almost an entire floor More dedicated to purchasing photos.
Our room was ready earlier than I anticipated, and out steward, Arthur, was amazing! The room itself was your typical cruise ship room, and was actually pretty comfortable until the bunk was let down each night. (In-room limbo, anyone?) The beds were very comfortable, and plenty of pillows were provided. We opted for an ocean view room on the Empress deck, which was nice. The children were able to watch the waves and see some dolphins while we got ready.
The food on the Fantasy was just okay. I personally was a little disappointed with the selection and time available. If you happen to get busy and want a snack or lunch after 3, you are out of luck. The buffets only open during lunch and dinner hours, which leaves only mediocre pizza (which never seemed to be ready, or only one type was ready) and soft serve ice cream (very good when properly frozen, which was rare with the number of kids constantly lurking at the machines.) We ate each night at the early (6pm) service in the Jubilee dining room. We had an exceptional wait staff, and were seated with 2 other families with children around the same age as ours. The food was good, not excellent, but far better than the buffets. Each night there was a selection of new appetizers, entrees, and deserts, along with some standbys that are served every day. We enjoyed the atmosphere and service.
The pool. The pool is tiny, smaller than you think it will be, and there is only one for 2000 passengers. On our trip, it was filled with children the first day at sea (to be expected) and closed on the morning of our 3rd day at sea for employee safety training (really? this was the time they chose to do this?) Our last day at sea the pool and hot tubs were closed, presumably because we had a bit of a choppy ocean ride. As for the hot tubs, if you want to be where you can at least locate your children, there are two, which are almost always packed with children, despite the fact that there are signs that state "adult only" - not one staff member ever enforced this. On our cruise only one of the two was functioning for about 50% of the trip. If you like to lie in a chair and drink alcohol all day, you will probably enjoy the pool area - IF you can find a chair. We arrived most mornings at 9-10 to find ALL of the chairs occupied, or "reserved" with towels... even though they tell you that unused chairs will be cleared after 40 minutes, they do not do it. Overall a disappointing pool experience.
The activities and shows on this cruise are pretty pathetic. Most of the activities are geared towards (1) buying a watch or jewelry (2) buying art (3) gambling (4) smoking and drinking. If the smell of cigarettes bothers you, I would highly recommend NOT taking this cruise. The only nightlife area that is non-smoking is the main entertainment room. They have ONE show. Other activities in this room include bingo ($20 a card and it lasts about 5 minutes) and various trivia events/passenger talent shows/games that feature one or two passengers and everyone else watches.
The fitness center was a huge disappointment. Every time I went there, it was wall to wall people and kids. Save your time and decide not to exercise.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a relaxing getaway with excellent food, this is not the cruise for you. If you are looking for a trip with lots of fast food options, lots of areas to smoke, and plenty of drinking at $6-$10 a pop, sign up now. This is an excellent cruise for people watching if nothing else... hence the title "Wal-Mart on the water."

Cabin review: E59
Our room was ready earlier than I anticipated, and out steward, Arthur, was amazing! The room itself was your typical cruise ship room, and was actually pretty comfortable until the bunk was let down each night. (In-room limbo, anyone?) The beds were very comfortable, and plenty of pillows were provided. We opted for an ocean view room on the Empress deck, which was nice. The children were able to watch the waves and see some dolphins while we got ready.

West Nile prevalence down this season
Nick Todaro, firstname.lastname@example.com
Surveillance and spraying for mosquitoes in Ennis could be behind it, or natural cycles in the West Nile virus could be the cause, but Ennis has seen no cases of the illness or positive mosquito tests since testing began in April.
Beginning April 1, Ennis activated traps and has netted thousands of mosquitoes that have been sent on to the Texas Department of State Health Services for testing with no confirmed positives, said Ennis City Manager Steve Howerton.

Kate Gosselin Says The Kids Are Beginning to Crack
Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin can at least agree on one thing—the nationally televised drama surrounding their family is beginning to take its toll on their massive brood.
The Kate Plus 8 mom tells Vanity Fair.com that her octet of kids have begun to "act out" since their parents' high-profile split. Of course, being the enlightened mom that she is, she's trying to use their behavioral flare-ups as a learning tool.
Says Kate,
"I'm trying to give them the grace to see, if they're acting out of line, I'm trying to look deeper into why that is. Why the kids are acting out. Cause it's all inter-related. I mean, they don't see it, but it's all interconnected."
Sounds like a prudent approach.
Of course, it might have been even more prudent not to push her family's personal life into the spotlight in the first place.
Let us know in the comments section: How many years of therapy do you think the Gosselin kids will need before they mentally heal from the fiasco that their childhood has become?

CAMP HILL, Pa.
As consumers increasingly shift to lower-cost private brand products in an effort to curb costs amid the current economic crunch, Rite Aid has announced the launch of its M5 Magnum five-blade shaving system, which will be available exclusively at more than 4,900 Rite Aid stores nationwide beginning March 29.
According to Information Resources' "Competing in a Transforming Economy" series, grocers and pharmacy retailers are experiencing the biggest jump in private brand share over the past year. Research from IRI shows that private brand products accounted for 17.1% of dollars spent in all package goods categories last year, up 0.7 points last year. That number is expected to increase at a significantly accelerated rate in each quarter of 2009 and beyond.
"The launch of the M5 Magnum underscores Rite Aid's commitment to providing our customers with high-quality products at up to 40% less than name-brand equivalents," stated Bryan Shirtliff, Rite Aid VP, category management. "Now more than ever, consumers are evaluating their spending and realizing they can experience the same premium performance with more cost-efficient private brand products. With the M5 Magnum, we're offering a value-based solution at a time when consumers need it most."
Rite Aid's M5 Magnum razor has a retail price of $6.99, or $3 less than the comparable national brand, the retailer stated. M5 Magnum's replacement blades are priced at $7.99.
In its March 29 weekly circular, the pharmacy retailer is inviting customers to try the M5 Magnum for a special price of $4.99, with a no-risk "free bate." Customers who purchase the M5 Magnum between March 29 and April 4 can apply for a full refund of the purchase price through Rite Aid's Single Check Rebate program.
The M5 Magnum has five titanium-coated blades and a trimmer on the back of the cartridge for a more accurate cut on sideburns, goatees and under the nose. The razor also features a soap bar, a lube strip with botanical oils, and a 90-degree trimming angle. Comfort and ease of use are further enhanced by the M5 Magnum's ergonomic handle design with soft-grip raised ribs, which, according to Rite Aid, was preferred by consumers in side-by-side testing against leading name brands.

Obama blames Republicans for 'dumb' budget cuts
US stares down start of steep 'automatic' budget cuts
President Barack Obama on Friday branded the automatic budget cuts about to slam into the US economy as "dumb" and "unnecessary" but blamed Republicans for the failure to avert them.
"These cuts will hurt our economy, will cost us jobs and to set it right both sides need to be able to compromise," Obama said, on the day US$85 billion in cuts go into force after lawmakers failed to reach a deficit-cutting deal.
"I am not a dictator. I am a president," Obama said, after a last-minute meeting with top congressional leaders failed to broker a deal to prevent the arbitrary and automatic cuts, known as sequestration, from coming into force.
"What I can't do is force Congress to do the right thing," Obama said.
"In the absence of a decision on the part of the Speaker of the House and others to put middle class families ahead of whatever political imperatives he might have right now, we are going to have these cuts in place."
Obama welcomed his chief foes, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Republican minority leader Mitch McConnell to the Oval Office, along with Democratic Senate chief Harry Read and top House Democrat Nancy Pelosi.
Boehner emerged from the talks with the president to tersely signal to reporters that Republicans would not budge on Obama's key demand for a deal which would raise tax revenues.
"Let's make it clear that the president got his tax hikes on January 1. This discussion about revenue in my view is over," Boehner said.
"It is about taking on the spending problem in Washington."
Obama was bound by law to initiate the automatic, indiscriminate cuts, which could wound the already fragile economy, cost a million jobs and harm military readiness, by 11.59pm in the absence of an deficit cutting agreement.
The hit to military and domestic spending, known as the sequester, was never supposed to happen, but was rather a device seen as so punishing that rival lawmakers would be forced to find a better compromise to cut the deficit.
But such is the dysfunction in gridlocked Washington that neither side tried very hard to get a deal, with Obama calling for tax revenue hikes on the wealthy and corporations – a demand Republicans flatly refused.
The drama instead evolved into the latest philosophical standoff over the size, role and financing of government between Obama, who won re-election vowing to protect the middle class, and fiscally conservative Republicans.
Obama, in effect extending the campaign that won him re-election in November, has mounted a fierce public relations offensive designed to maximize his leverage by pouring blame on Republicans for the cuts.
"Instead of closing a single tax loophole that benefits the well-off and well-connected, (Republicans) chose to cut vital services for children, seniors, our men and women in uniform and their families," Obama said on Thursday.
"They voted to let the entire burden of deficit reduction fall squarely on the middle class."
Republicans accuse Obama of inflating the impact of the sequester and of using scare tactics and believe he has painted himself into a political corner.
The White House admits it will take time for the full impact of the sequester to be felt, as government workers get furlough notices and services, like education for special needs kids, are put at risk.
But it said the results of the cuts would nevertheless be emphatic.
Although the cuts trim significant amounts from domestic and defence spending, they do not touch entitlements – social programs like Medicare health care for the elderly and pension schemes.
Many budget experts believe that only cuts to those programs will be able to restore the prospect of long-term fiscal stability.
The White House warns that the indiscriminate cuts are written into law in such a way that their impact cannot be alleviated.
It says 800,000 civilian employees of the Defense Department will go on a mandatory furlough one day a week and the navy will trim voyages. The deployment of a second aircraft carrier to the Gulf has been cancelled.
About 70,000 children less than five years old will be cut from the Head Start preschool programme, resulting in the elimination of 14,000 teaching positions. Services for special needs kids will also take a hit.
Authorities warn that average wait times for passengers at US immigration will increase by 30-50 per cent and may exceed four hours during peak times.

Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are
Children's book review by Steve Barancik
Ages 4-8
Max: Winner and Still Champ
I just checked today's (June 29, 2009) Amazon sales rankings. Maurice Sendak's 1964 Caldecott Medal winning Wild Things was the 153th most popular book out of the millions of books listed on Amazon.
This year's Caldecott winner, The House in the Night - a wonderful Good Night book in its own right - is ranked #1617.
There's a word for such impressively sustained popularity: wild.
So what makes Sendak's classic so timeless? Let's take a look!
For starters, there's Sendak's pitch perfect depiction of Max. He has a wild streak (what little boy doesn't?), and on this night he's dressed in a wolf suit, tormenting the family dog, and hammering things to the wall.
Chafing under parental restraint (like every child), he has a clear chip on his shoulder this evening. He is sent to his room without supper, called a "wild thing" by his mother.
In his room, imagination takes over. His walls become trees. An ocean appears, then a boat. Max finds himself transported to a land of wonder, filled with monstrous wild things.
Now the text tells us just how awful the wild things are.
They roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.
But, the thing is, they don't look quite so terrible. And that's part of what makes Sendak's award-winning art so special.
Yes, the creatures have sharp teeth and horns. But they're a bit soft and rounded. And there's something a tad unsure of themselves in their eyes and postures.
They look like they'd like to be led. Review continues.
And fierce Max is more than willing to do the leading. He tames the wild things, and they pronounce him the wildest thing of all. They even make him their wild thing king!
Max leads them through a series of wild adventures, depicted without words. But, after awhile, Max finds himself longing for home. He wants to be loved now, not followed.
So he takes the long journey back, alone and independent, finds his way back to his room...
...and finds his supper waiting for him.
The magic of Where the Wild Things Are
I think you have to really think about what it is to be a kid to fully appreciate everything this brilliant book does right.
Sendak captures the tug of war between a desire for independence and a desire to be taken care of, then - like any great parent - he finds a way to give Max both.
He creates creatures that are just threatening enough without being the stuff of nightmares.
He grants Max dominion over the wild things, so that he can experience what it's like to be in charge...something every young child craves.
He lets Max make his own choices. The only thing forced upon him - being sent to his room - he overcomes with the power of his imagination. At all times, Max is the master of his own destiny.
Even when he returns home to be loved.
Something you may not know
Maurice Sendak intended Where the Wild Things Are to be part of a trilogy.
The other two books are In the Night Kitchen and Outside Over There, Caldecott Honor books in their own right from 1971 and 1982 respectively.

The San Francisco 49ers' first free agent pick-up of the offseason is much better than last season's. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciated Brandon Jones' lone catch for 18 yards. He got a first down on that one. Not to mention his nine punt returns for 26 yards. That's almost three yards a return. Way to work hard and earn that $5.4 million dollars of guaranteed money.
This season, David Carr is the first free agent signed. I've never been a David Carr detractor, and I never thought he got a fair deal being the thrust into the NFL on an expansion team. I'm hoping however, people realize that Carr was brought on to mentor, not compete. See, David Carr is an expert at what Alex Smith is going through. He knows what it's like to be the scapegoat for a losing team. Like Smith, Carr received the brunt of the blame for the franchises woes. In his first five NFL seasons with the Houston Texans, Carr was sacked an astonishing 249 times. When you average getting knocked on your back 3.27 times a game, your confidence in yourself and your team will surely diminish.
Once Carr left Houston, he was hoping to regain his confidence and passion for the game without any pressure as the back-up to Jake Delhomme of the Carolina Panthers. Unfortunately, Delhomme suffered an injury after the third game and Carr was pressed into action once more. He was on a much better team, but we saw what 249 sacks in 76 games do to a player. Carr was skittish in the pocket. He didn't set his feet. He held onto the ball too long. He didn't trust his instinct, or his O-line to protect him.
Carr spent the last two seasons as a member of the New York Giants. He was never called into action for any "real" playing time. In his two seasons there, he played very sparingly and accumulated 340 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions. He was sacked three times on his 45 pass attempts, which falls in line with his average, solidifying his knack for holding onto the ball. Although the sacks are concerning, the lack of interceptions is a nice sign to see.
For all the speculators, I do not envision any type of quarterback controversy. I believe Alex Smith played well enough last season to be penciled in as the starter. However, Mike Singletary doesn't want to guarantee any position. Carr is a good move for the franchise in the sense he will bring leadership and much needed experience to the current quarterbacks. Smith, and Shaun Hill have played in a combined 62 games compared to the 91 games of experience Carr brings. He is also a cautionary tale about asking a young quarterback to do too much by himself. As if it isn't tough enough to make the transition from college to professional football, Carr had to do it as the starter on a brand new team. The difficulty multiplies exponentially in that case. Players and coaches who have never worked together shouldn't reasonably be expected to succeed.
I do have to wonder how much this signing had to do with not wanting Carr to go to another team, namely the Arizona Cardinals. Among other teams, the Cardinals were interested in him, and were next of the list of places for him to visit. The Cards must have had the same idea to sign a veteran to help out their young, unproven quarterback. They've already been rather busy in free agency, both losing and adding players. I'm a little disturbed at the low price the Baltimore Ravens were allowed to acquire Boldin. What's even more disturbing is the fact that other teams weren't willing to part with at least a second rounder. How good, or bad I guess, do teams think Boldin is? Considering the New England Patriots demanded, and received a first round pick for Deion Branch, a player who has never had a 1,000 yard receiving season, or has caught more than five touchdowns. But that's another argument for another day and another forum.
The 49ers shouldn't be too busy this offseason. The draft is where I believe they'll make the biggest splashes. After free agent losses of OT Tony Pashos and WR Arnaz Battle, the depth pool must be restocked. Other than the glaring holes along the offensive line, and the absolute desperate need for a return man, the roster is solid. If Nate Clements can work his way back to a top cover-corner, the defense can be one of the NFL's best. The signing of David Carr improves the depth and hopefully will allow Smith to further grow as the quarterback.

I wouldn't say GPLv2 is out of date. In fact, I don't think it'll ever go away as a lot of people see it as being more "free" than GPLv3. So, yes, GPLv3 has a higher version number, but it hardly obsoletes GPLv2 :-) (I think I'm basically agreeing with what you said here) Ray _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Keep safe and warm when using space heaters
Many of us use portable electric space heaters to help keep us warm, but they can be hazardous if not used properly. Take precautions to keep your family safe from fire or burns. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, an average of 50,100 home heating fires occurred in the U.S. each year from 2008 to 2010. About 900 fires are attributed to portable heaters. While they represent only 2 percent of home heating fires, portable heaters were involved in 45 percent of all heating fires with a fatality.

purist audio design
Proteus Provectus cables
as reviewed by Dave Clark
The Proteus Provectus came into our system after an extensive push from fellow PFO writer, and long time Purist Audio Design user and proponent, Albert Porter. He felt that the PAD line of cables is so good, well… that they are so good that they are simply better than anything else out there—regardless the price, design, or whatever. Albert challenged me to try something from the PAD line and since he knew their stuff way better than I did, I allowed him to choose what he felt would be the best match for my system—as well as my current cables reference(s): Kubala-Sosna's Emotions ($2700 a meter) and the Clairvoyant 4D from Audio Magic ($3200 a meter). Both are stellar cables in their own right, though each with their own sins of omission—hey, nothing's perfect.
After a few email exchanges Albert suggested the Proteus Provectus line because 1), it is a good price comparison to what I am currently using, and 2) it is new to the PAD stable of fluid (Ferox) shielded cables and offers much of what the three models above it can do for a lot less cash. Besides, from his conversations with Jim Aud (the man behind PAD) this is the way to go as the Proteus Provectus is a killer product just waiting for its break. So what showed up on our doorstep were enough PAD cables to string our whole system together and then some: balanced and signal-ended interconnects of various lengths as well as a pair of single-run speaker cables terminated with WBT bananas. Now while the Proteus Provectus is like the fourth down the chain from the top, they are not what one would consider inexpensive. Running at a cool $3500 for the 1-meter balanced versions (the RCA single-ended is a hundred dollars less) and $6900 of the 1.5-meter single run speaker cables, these are a serious purchase.
The Proteus Provectus speaker cable (this is the negative cable, the positive cable is identical)
The Proteus Provectus interconnect
The Proteus Provectus uses a unique solid-core copper construction with a proprietary fluid shielding. The use of solid-core is a shift from the other PAD cables that feature alloys (along with gold, copper, and silver) in various multi-stranded multi-conductor combinations. While the use of a fluid remains the constant, the overall design of the Proteus Provectus sets it apart from the rest of its brethren. I talked to Jim about why he has shifted from what he has done in the other lines. His response is that to do what he wanted to fill the gap between the cables on either side of the Proteus Provectus and at an acceptable price point required a new approach. Jim's approach is one that is completely based on science and how wire and cables really work. See Jim is all about the theory and practice of cable design and while he does go for things that might be skirting the mainstream—such as cyro'ing cables and the use of fluids to damp and shield—he is a true engineer with the credentials to back it up (can you say advanced degrees in physics?).
To quote from an interview with Jim that ran way back in Issue 15 of PFO…
Which means that when Jim designs a cable, well …it ain't just some wire in a fancy jacket. No, the Proteus Provectus is a very handsome cable that is quite flexible (the interconnects are to a great extent, whereas the speaker cables are rather stiff, though quite compliant when bent to the shape one requires in connecting between an amp and a speaker), elegant in appearance, and the result of many hours to construct (no doubt one of the key contributors to their cost). They have been in use for several months now without a single hiccup that would cause any sane (or insane for that matter) audio-lad to grumble about: leaks (remember that there is fluid inside), shorts, noise, hum, nada. Each cable comes in its own bag with a serial number in case of warranty issues. It is suggested that the cables will benefit from an extensive break-in (I gave them a good 400-500 hours just to make sure!), based on the materials and construction.
So I ran them for a number of days on an AudioDharma Cable Cooker™ and then fed them a combination of the PAD System Enhancer disc and music (FM radio) for a few weeks on another system (actually a fourth system in the garage used just for this purpose). It is also suggested that after any extensive break-in the cables will need to settle into place—that is you should let them lay undisturbed with a signal running to allow for the fluids and such to settle. This means that swapping the Proteus Provectus and other cables in and out is not a good thing to do if one is to realize how they compare against another cable in-house; one should carefully disconnect them to cause as little disruption to their stasis as is possible. Not that difficult of a thing to do and besides I have come to find that most cables prefer this treatment anyhow. Best to not ruffle a cable's feathers if you want to hear what they can do …you got to let them settle into place to sound their best.
What one gets in the Proteus Provectus is a dead quiet cable—and I mean dead quiet. The Proteus Provectus offers the blackest of blacks with no hint …that is NO hint of noise or whatever that is a result of RFI/EMI or whatever populating our audio-environment. Meaning that the music has a great sense of presence as it emerges or stands out against this deep dark abyss of emptiness. This results in amazing clarity, startling overall dynamics (micro and macro), and, well… they just pass the music with nothing that appears to be causing any harm to the signal. The overall design seems to be doing its trick as the cables are quite immune to various known gremlins here in my system.
One also gets a cable that leans more to the warmer side of neutrality, though with this lusciously captivating warmth comes a spot on tonality that is as honest as all get out and that is oh so musically right. The Proteus Provectus is quite tonally even and rich in harmonic color; these are cables that, for me at least, get out of the way of the music by offering little to criticize in terms of what we have heard from other cables as a clearly recognized "sonic signature". I am referring to a sonic signature in the sense of something being imparted on the sound or the music in such a way that it draws undue attention to the tonal shift or aberration.
Yeah, all cables have a sonic signature to some extent—and for some this is clearly evident in how we categorize them: lean, fat, slow, light, dark, rich, warm, dull, analytical, etc. And, yes the Proteus Provectus do have a signature of sorts by their being considered a dark cable, but only when compared to cables that clearly fall towards the "light" side (lean and mean).
Yes they have a "darker" quality than what I am used to hearing from either the Kubala-Sosna or Audio Magic cables, both of which offer a "lighter" perspective than the Proteus Provectus, though I would not consider either being card-carrying members of the "light" camp. No, both cables are very, very good at what they do, it is just that they do some things not as well as the Proteus Provectus, which naturally does not do some things as well as the Kubala-Sosna and Audio Magic cables, though much of this is no doubt more an issue of taste and/or preference and how they perform in my system. Meaning that here at least, they are faster and more viscerally invigorating when compared to the more robust, or shall I say "burly" in the sense of weight and strength, Proteus Provectus, though it too has these qualities to a great degree. The Kubala-Sosna and Audio Magic cables both play the music quite right, it is just that the Proteus Provectus does so with a bit more meat on them bones while not coming across as slow or murky ... or, well ...make that neither fat or bloaty. So what if the Kubala-Sosna and Audio Magic cables have less of this darkness or tonal warmth and would be considered by some to be a tad more open or neutral? These differences are to a finite degree and not anything that one should toss and turn late into the night worrying about… any of these cables are winners in their own right.
Alright so the Proteus Provectus could be considered, and rightly so, a darker cable than some others, but they are not "darker" in the sense of being overly mellow, warm, or rich—though they are certainly musically warm and rich. No, it is just that they do not possess or present this quality in any sense of being a distraction to the music. In the case of the Proteus Provectus, this "darker' quality augments the music in a most involving and beguiling way. I would compare it to the best of tubes versus that of reference solid-state electronics. Yeah the Proteus Provectus has that dearly sought after tube presence or (though not in the classic tube sense of being rolled-off with euphonic colorations or an excess of the midbass—no, the Proteus Provectus is evenly balanced with an extended and airy treble that is grain and grit free) with perhaps the Kubala-Sosna and Audio Magic cables reflecting more of the clichéd qualities heard from the best in solid-state. Though the truth is that any of these cables could easily fall into either camp depending on what characteristic you are listening for and what you cherish most in audio reproduction.
With that in mind, the Proteus Provectus is certainly not an overly analytical cable, though they do allow for one to hear it all—it is just presented in a naturally balanced way; nothing tilted-up or spot-lit, there is no leanness to the music, nor any sense of tonal aberrations that would drive you out of the room. This of course implies that the Proteus Provectus is not a cable for detail freaks, though one certainly gets all the details that one should want or need to hear; it is just not in your face and all over you like a cheap wine.
The Proteus Provectus offers texture and clarity that is harmonically and musically involving. Images take on a 3-D palpable presence that goes beyond what one would expect from mere wire—of which the Proteus Provectus is clearly not. One of the cables greatest attributes is how it presents a rich and detailed soundstage or sound field that is dimensionally and spatially enveloping. One that is big, bold, and dynamically powerful. The room swells with a musical perspective of the listener being transported to the event. The Proteus Provectus offers the listener ambience galore, though done with finesse and ease—the Proteus Provectus will not come across as edgy or spot-lit, nor is it a sleight-of-hand cable that dazzles you with amazing tricks and gimmickry. No, the Proteus Provectus are just really cool and musically fun.
Yeah, dynamically powerful is a perfect descriptor for how the Proteus Provectus reproduces the lower registers. While not being as ultimately center of the earth rock-solid as the Kubala-Sosna and Audio Magic cables, the Proteus Provectus will not disappoint in the least. The bottom end has great textural presence and goes as low as my speakers and electronics can muster. I find really little to fault here as any omissions are only evident when compared directly against the Kubala-Sosna and Audio Magic cables. Man, the Proteus Provectus does bass good. Big, bad, and bold with excellent decay and slam, the bass is firm, fast, and musically solid.
Alright, so what we have here is a cable that features the best in metallurgy, an exotic fluid to damp and shield against RFI/EMI, is beautifully built and easy to use, offers state-of-the-art sound top to bottom that is warm and rich (tonally and harmonically), is evenly balanced with little to characterize as a sonic signature, and costs a fair penny. Trade-offs? Yeah, did you read the part about being a bit pricey? Well, sorry, but a cable made to this level of engineering and sonic quality is not going to be cheap. Oh, and as I mentioned above for some, they will be a bit darker and perhaps then, not as "right-er" or "lighter" as someone might want in a cable. This means of course that this could be interpreted as being too much of a good thing in the wrong system, meaning that the Proteus Provectus is not going to work for everyone. If your system is already leaning too far to the dark side of things then a complete set-up of the Proteus Provectus may not be the cat's pajamas …all depends on the synergy and the overall balance of one's system. But man, do these cables play music, so who cares?! I can live with a bit of darkness for what the Proteus Provectus brings to the party. These are very musical cables that, for me at least, are a slice of audio heaven. Highly recommended ...actually make that so highly recommended that they received one of my Brutus Awards for 2007!

Communicating Climate Science in the Age of Denial
IUCN, NOAA and World Wildlife Fund
Thursday, October 3, 2013 from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM (EDT)
Event Details
Join us for the first DCMC Movie Night!
We're screening the documentary Thin Ice, with comments and a discussion led by Rick Piltz, founder and director of Climate Science Watch.
About Thin Ice:
In recent years climate science has come under increasing attack, so geologist Simon Lamb took his camera to find out what is really going on from his climate science colleagues.
Simon followed scientists at work in the Arctic, Antarctic, Southern Ocean, New Zealand, Europe and the USA. They talk about their work, and their hopes and fears, with a rare candor and directness. This creates an intimate portrait of the global community of researchers racing to understand our planet's changing climate.
Rick Piltz has worked as an educator, writer, and policy analyst and advocate since the 1970's, in federal and state government, academia, and nonprofit organizations. During his more than 20 years in Washington, his primary focus has been on the collision of climate science with the reality of climate politics and policy.

A NEW charity project in York has issued its first grants.
The International Service Alumni Board's small grants fund was launched at the Mansion House in January by young people who had previously volunteered with the York-based development charity, International Service, and who wanted to continue to make a difference.
Many former volunteers continue to fundraise and to promote the charity after their return to the UK and the new fund is to award one-off grants of money raised by alumni, to support specific small projects currently being supported by International Service volunteers.
There were six applications for the first round, and three were successful. £160 was awarded to a project in Ghana to buy costumes for the Din Nani dance group, which uses drama and dance to educate young people about sexual health. £250 was awarded to buy new catering equipment for the Tigoung Nonma project in Burkina Faso, and £250 was awarded to buy a machine for mixing shea butter, a laborious manual task, in Kabeela in Burkina Faso.
The successful projects were chosen by International Service chief executive Jo Baker, alumni board treasurer Josh Harris, and two recently-returned volunteers.

The vehicle, bearing a coffin, was heading to a funeral in the southern city of Najaf, which is holy to Shias.
Two cars drew up alongside the minibus, which was travelling on a road in a southern suburb, and sprayed it with gunfire. There were no survivors.
Also on Tuesday, a suicide bombing near the Green Zone in central Baghdad killed five people and injured 10.
Police said that blast targeted a restaurant frequented by police.
The heavily protected Green Zone houses the US military headquarters, the US and UK embassies, and Iraqi government buildings.
Also in Baghdad, gunmen attacked a Saudi Arabian import and export company in the western Mansour area, killing five Iraqi employees.
The latest violence follows two days of tit-for-tat sectarian attacks that have killed dozens of people.
Religious duty
The BBC's Jonny Dymond in Baghdad says that many of Iraq's Shia Muslims believe it a religious duty to bury their dead in the cemetery in Najaf, around 150km south of the capital.
The vehicles they travel in, weighed down with a coffin, make them easily identifiable to those searching for Shia Muslims to kill.
There has been an upsurge in sectarian violence in Iraq in recent months, raising fears of a civil war.
In a separate incident, gunmen in Baghdad kidnapped an Iraqi foreign ministry official who had been serving as a diplomat in neighbouring Iran.
Police in Baghdad said Wissam Jabr had been visiting his family in Iraq.
He was abducted on Tuesday morning, after his car was blocked by armed kidnappers in several vehicles in the Amil neighbourhood of southern Baghdad.
Trial adjourned
The trial of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was adjourned for two weeks on Tuesday after the chief judge ordered defence lawyers to end their boycott.
"Tell your colleagues who are out of the country that if they do not show up next time, they will hurt the case of their clients," Chief Judge Raouf Abdel Rahman told those lawyers who attended the short hearing.
"The trial will go on with or without them, it will be with court-appointed lawyers if we have to."
Senior defence lawyers again boycotted Tuesday's session. They were due to begin presenting their closing arguments on Monday, but they said they would boycott the proceedings until they received enhanced security following the killing last month of a third member of the defence team.
The former president and most of his co-defendants were not in court on Tuesday either.
All of the defendants are being tried in connection with the killing of 148 people in the village of Dujail in the 1980s, after a failed attempt on Saddam Hussein's life.
He and six others will face a second trial in August, on charges relating to alleged genocide of Kurdish people.

WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. - A 77-year-old bicyclist was killed on Wednesday morning when troopers say she drove out in front of a car in Winter Springs.
Troopers said Kathleen Carr, of Oviedo, died while riding her bicycle on Tuskawilla Road and Willa Springs Drive, after troopers say she crossed the road when it wasn't safe to do so.
Carr biked into the vehicle's path, as the vehicle braked trying to avoid hitting her and collided into the right side.
Carr was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where she died.
No charges have been filed, troopers said.

I just stayed in this hostel for one night (after the others I was traveling with had left) before heading to the airport. The location is super convenient to Plaza Catalunya. They definitely take quiet hours seriously- which can be nice depending on what kind of hostel experience you want. They also had a listing of walking tours they offered each day, I didn't get to take advantage of that, but it seems like a nice perk!
