Proteus Syndrome Definition
Proteus syndrome or Wiedemann's syndrome is a congenital disorder resulting in overgrowth of body parts along with abnormalities of bone and skin. It involves a congenital malformation disorder where an organ or tissue overgrows in a patchy distribution.
Proteus Syndrome Facts
It was first recognized by Michael Cohen Jr. in the year 1979 and later named as proteus syndrome by Hans-Rudolf Wiedemann, a German pediatrician, in the year 1983. Hence, this is also known as Wiedemann syndrome. Proteus syndrome has been named after the Greek God Proteus who is believed to be capable of changing his form or shape as part of self-defense. This syndrome was popularized when determined that Joseph Merrick who played the patient in the movie and play "The Elephant Man" was suffering from proteus syndrome and not neurofibromatosis, as commonly believed until then.
Various other symptoms are noticed in proteus syndrome along with uncharacteristic growth of skin, head and bones. It is a rare disorder and generally classified as hamartomatous. It has been found to affect males more than females. The condition cannot be identified until early childhood or later infancy. It depends on the rate of cutaneous lesion development or degree of overgrowth.
Proteus syndrome is a variable condition and its severity varies from mild to severe cases. The rarity and varying manifestations make it more difficult to be recognized. Partial gigantism is also commonly observed thus increasing the complications.
Proteus Syndrome Symptoms
The various signs associated with proteus syndrome are as follows:
- Overgrowth, gigantism and irregularity of the limbs.
- The various organs and bones of the body are abnormally increased in size.
- There is a rise in the skin along with roughness on the surface.
- Either overgrowth or undergrowth of fat is noticed on various parts of the body.
- Deep lines are formed on the feet's sole as the tissue is soft there. Overgrowth of these tissues is also commonly observed.
- Formation of benign tumors.
- A life threatening condition where deep vein blood clots in the lungs.
- Overgrown lymphatic or blood vessels which form rough patches.
- Dental anomalies
- Learning disabilities due to mental retardation.
- Malformations of connective tissue nevi, lipomas, epidermal nevi or vascular tissues.
- Pulmonary cystic malformations
- Ovarian cyst adenomas
- Thymic enlargement or splenomegaly
- Scoliosis
- Strabismus
Proteus Syndrome Causes
Proteus syndrome is a rare disorder and a little more than 200 cases have been confirmed so far. The occurrence of this disorder is even less than 1 in one million live births. Though this condition is present at birth, it cannot be recognized until later. It does not seem to be hereditary.
Research is being carried out to determine the cause of proteus syndrome and so far its etiology is not known. However, according to some presently believed hypothesis, the condition develops due to PTEN gene mutation either on chromosome 16 or chromosome 10. It is also accepted that proteus syndrome occurs due to somatic mutation like a change in DNA occurring after conception. This can take place in any body cell except the germ cells.

Proteus Syndrome Diagnosis
Due to the extreme variability in conditions of proteus syndrome, its diagnosis is rather difficult. This is compounded with the rare occurrence of the condition. A lot many conditions have to be ruled out before the actual diagnosis of the condition. There are no molecular tests available and the imaging tests too are not reliable in this condition.
Proteus Syndrome Prognosis
The prognosis for proteus syndrome condition varies widely from patient to patient. It depends on the condition's severity and the rate of its progression. On an average, 20 percent patients of proteus syndrome die at an early age due to the complications of the disorder. Nevertheless, proper medical care and prompt diagnosis can be helpful in lengthening the patient's life and he/she can live a normal life.
Proteus Syndrome Treatment
There is no specific treatment or cure for proteus syndrome. However, the symptoms can be treated in some cases and measures are taken to prevent any further complications. The treatment widely varies from one patient to another based on the individual symptoms and is usually life-long.
But all is not hopeless for the patients suffering from proteus syndrome as doctors and researchers from Australia have found that a drug named Rapamycin is an effective proteus syndrome treatment for abnormal growths. Research is being carried out in London too to find the exact cause of proteus syndrome and positive results are being expected.
Proteus Syndrome Foundation
The Proteus Syndrome Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in the year 1993. It is governed by a Board of Directors. Most of the board members are parents with a child diagnosed with proteus syndrome. The foundation aims to provide support to the patients and their families. It also promotes general public and medical staff education on the subject. Research work on proteus syndrome is also supported by the foundation. A newsletter including features like information, photos, stories and latest developments is published to raise funds.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Bob Bennett, a victim of this year's anti-incumbent fervor, reflected on his 18 years in office in a farewell speech to his fellow lawmakers in the Senate chambers Thursday.
The 77-year-old Utah Republican recalled the time he spent as an intern in his teens and as a staffer for his father, the late Sen. Wallace Bennett, before he ever ran for election. He recounted the monumental events where he was in Washington, such as running to a ticker tape in the Senate offices to read updates on the shooting of then-President John F. Kennedy, and being present when Martin Luther King Jr. marched on Washington and delivered his "I have a dream" speech.
"This is an extraordinary place filled with extraordinary people," Bennett said. "I say farewell to it with kind of mixed feelings."
In his more than 20-minute address, Bennett shared some of the lessons he learned from fellow lawmakers including fellow Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. He said he learned in his tenure that there is a significant difference between Republicans and Democrats, but both are necessary.
"They're both right — that's the thing I have come to understand here," he said.
One party believes free markets will solve problems, and the other believes government will. Different circumstances necessitate different solutions, he said.
"Because I believe in free markets, I'm a Republican," Bennett said.
Bennett was ousted at the state Republican convention in May by Republican delegates seeking even more conservative lawmakers. Bennett came in third behind Sen.-elect Mike Lee and Tim Bridgewater, who faced off in the primary.
Contrary to media or Hollywood portrayals of lawmakers as crooked and unethical, the Senate of today is in far better shape than years past, Bennett said.
"The caricature that we get from the press ... is simply not true," he said.
While he will leave his Senate career at the end of the month, he has no plans of retiring from meaningful work and political discourse.
"I do not intend to leave the arena of public debate," he said.
And while his speech Thursday was a sort of goodbye to the role he loves, he plans on being vocal and proactive on the issues and bills that prevent themselves in coming weeks.

By the numbers
6.9% -- The drop in state funding for UNLV and the rest of the state's university system approved by the Legislature. University officials will do a review of all academic programs, and as many as seven might be eliminated.
380 -- The number of students enrolled in the School of Nursing at UNLV — 200 undergraduate students, 150 master's students and 30 doctorate candidates. The program is one of the most successful at UNLV.
$5 million -- The annual operating budget of the nursing school. It's relatively expensive because of clinical settings and low student-faculty ratio required for accreditation. It also brings in about $1 million a year in grants.

Raw video of rally
Of all the deans at UNLV whose schools may face painful budget cuts, you might think Carolyn Yucha would get a free pass. Her School of Nursing is one of the most successful on campus. In a state starved for more nurses, nearly 96 percent of UNLV's nursing students passed the national certification licensure exam in 2009, 7 percent better than the national average.
So the fact that the nursing school is being considered for cuts — or even more implausibly, outright elimination — might seem hard to fathom.
But Yucha knows her program is a target because it is one of the more expensive academic programs at UNLV. Training nurses is intrinsically more expensive than teaching English literature or math.
And so even as the university president was hosting a campus town-hall meeting Tuesday with students to kick around what kinds of cuts UNLV needs to make to satisfy the demands of the Legislature, Yucha was bracing herself for a hit.
Maybe she could close the pediatric nurse practitioner master's program. After all, it's only getting about four applicants annually, and it could take twice that many to be most efficient. Lopping it off would save $120,000 — the cost of one faculty position — she figured.
That kind of savings won't make much of a dent, but Yucha says it's the only low-demand program in her school. Cutting other nursing programs would reduce enrollment at a time when the community needs more nurses, she said.
"No matter what we do, or what the president ends up deciding, someone's going to say the wrong thing was cut," Yucha said. "We just have to make the best case we can for ourselves."
UNLV administration has identified the School of Nursing as one of the university's 20 most expensive programs, and those most susceptible to budget cuts in order to meet a 6.9 percent reduction in state funding for higher education. That target was adopted by the Legislature in special session, and comes on the heels of budget cuts totaling 24 percent at UNLV since 2007.
Many less expensive campus initiatives have gotten the ax. This time around, UNLV is aiming for fiscal prudence and expediency.
"The smaller the cost of the program, the more of those you're going to have to eliminate to hit the target," UNLV Provost Michael Bowers said. "We thought it would be most efficient to look at the top 20."
In the coming weeks, Bowers will meet individually with deans to discuss each program's relative merits.
"We're going to look at faculty productivity, scholarly output and how critical the program is to the university's mission," Bowers said. "What kind of contribution does it make to the community?"
Yucha is ready to make her case.
The nursing program, with 200 undergraduate students, 150 master's students and 30 doctorate candidates, operates on an annual budget of about $5 million. It's relatively expensive because of the clinical settings and low student-faculty ratio required for accreditation. Bumping up class sizes to save money isn't an option.
On the flip side, the nursing school brings in about $1 million annually in research and educational grants.
Greg Hylander, a senior nursing student at UNLV, said he moved to Las Vegas from Massachusetts specifically to enroll in the program, in part because its strong reputation should help him land a job more quickly than if he had graduated from elsewhere.
And that's another factor that should weigh in the nursing program's favor during the evaluation process — graduates are practically assured of getting good jobs.
For that reason, Yucha suggests that rather than cut her program, the cost of tuition for nursing students should be increased as a way to close the budget gap.
The cost of private nursing degree programs locally are from two to three times as expensive as UNLV.
"Given that not many other educational programs can make that kind of guarantee (of postgraduate employment), it seems reasonable to me that students should pay more," Yucha said.
The state's colleges and universities charge students the same tuition regardless of the academic field they pursue. Shortly after being appointed president of UNLV last summer, Neal Smatresk said he wanted to pursue the possibility of moving to a system of differentiated tuition, which would take into account the costs associated with specific programs.
Holli Hall, another senior nursing student at UNLV, said she supports different levels of tuition, particularly if it means an even higher level of instructional quality.
"I would expect to be that much more prepared when I get out in the real world," Hall said. "A higher price for a better education — I'd be more than willing to pay for that."
The alternative — to cut the nursing program — is a shortsighted option, she says. The state's nursing shortage is one of the nation's worst, and if UNLV were to turn out fewer graduates "it would put a larger strain on nurses who are currently working and contribute to more burnout," Hall said. "That's only going to mean a worse situation in the end."
On Thursday, with the backing of the state's higher ed presidents, system Chancellor Dan Klaich plans to broach the topic of differentiated tuition with the Board of Regents, whose approval would be needed.
Such a policy would have to be adopted systemwide, Klaich said.
"If there were a higher fee for nursing students at UNLV, it would have to be higher at UNR," Klaich said. "I don't feel comfortable imposing higher costs on a student just because they live in a different area."
Differentiated tuition, which is growing in popularity nationally as many states struggle with severe budget shortfalls, "is an important piece of our overall ability to become more self-sustaining," Klaich said.
But for now, the urgent focus is budget cuts.
The regents have laid out much of the process for reviewing academic programs, and individual campuses will use those guidelines. UNLV's Faculty Senate on Tuesday will vote to elect six of its members — five from the academic disciplines and one administrator — to serve on an evaluation committee. They will hear presentations from each program and make recommendations to the provost and president. As many as seven departments will face elimination.
"In a very real way, this is collaborative governance," said John Filler, chairman of the Faculty Senate. "Our job is to step up and work with the administration."
He described the mood on campus as apprehensive, noting, "people realize the university is at stake. Some of our best programs are on that list — the question is whether or not the state can afford the quality."
UNR President Milton Glick on Monday released a preliminary list of programs being considered for cuts at his campus, including reorganizing the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources, and eliminating some degree programs including animal science, applied economics, German, French and Italian.
Though the process will be painful, Glick pointed out that it's better than the alternative — having the higher ed system be forced to declare financial exigency, which would mean acknowledging there isn't enough revenue to meet expenses. That move might allow campus presidents to move more quickly because personnel contracts could be more easily adjusted, but it would have one big drawback.
"We would become the national poster child for a failed higher ed system," Glick said. "Program reviews are just the healthier way to go."
UNR Professor Eric Herzik — chairman of both the political science and the math departments — said he's expecting significant scrutiny with multiple levels of review.
"If your program is cut you're going to be unhappy, but we don't want this to be arbitrary," Herzik said. "We're also trying to avoid an attitude of, 'you cost a lot, so you're gone' or 'you're small, so you're gone.' A program might be small and outstanding. We're trying to preserve that balance."
Two years ago, as the state's budget crisis began, Herzik was called in to defend the university's Basque studies center. The program ended up surviving with reduced funding and the loss of two full-time staff positions.
But this time around, "It's a question of what we can live without," Herzik said. "Instead of, 'Can I justify my program's existence?' it's 'Do we lose German or resource economics or speech communications?' We're not going to solve this by nipping around the edges. People will be laid off."

Film Celebrates Bald Eagle's Success
Sep 04, 2013, 08:15 ET from Pennsylvania Game Commission
Documentary by the Pennsylvania Game Commission being screened around the state.
HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Often times when we talk about wildlife, we talk about it in a singular sense.
We say the cottontail rabbit, or the white-tailed deer as opposed to using plural nouns that would accurately represent their numbers.
But when it comes to the bald eagle, there was a time not so long ago in Pennsylvania that the singular noun nearly summed up the entire population.
In 1983, when the Pennsylvania Game Commission launched what would become a seven-year program to restore bald eagles, only three nests remained statewide. That's six adult birds – all of them located in Crawford County, in the northwestern corner of the state, along the Ohio border.
What a difference 30 years has made.
Today, bald eagles have become a common sight throughout much of Pennsylvania. So far this year, 268 nests have been counted statewide. And the Game Commission is considering a proposal to remove bald eagles from the state's list of threatened species.
In celebration of the 30th anniversary of those first restoration efforts, the Game Commission has produced a documentary on the bald eagle's successful comeback, and the film is scheduled be screened at several sites throughout the state.
"Pennsylvania Bald Eagles, Celebrating 30 Years of Restoration" brings full circle the amazing story of the bald eagle in the Commonwealth – following the species through its drastic decline and successful reintroduction to the present time, when the population once again is thriving.
The documentary features commentary from a host of experts. Game Commission endangered bird biologist Patti Barber, wildlife diversity section chief Dan Brauning, and wildlife conservation officer Ronda Bimber talk about the eagle's past, present and future.
Follow wildlife rehabilitators Carol Holmgren, Sue DeArment and Maryjane Angelo as they work to bring back to health injured bald eagles – one of them a 25-year-old bird that as an eaglet was plucked from a Canadian nest and brought to Pennsylvania as part of the Game Commission's seven-year restoration program. And watch as those birds are returned to the wild.
Running 22 minutes, the film does an amazing job of illustrating one of the great success stories in wildlife-conservation history, Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe said.
"The bald eagle's recovery in Pennsylvania has been nothing short of remarkable, and this film does an incredible job of telling that story," Roe said. "It celebrates a victory for wildlife conservation and will leave residents feeling proud to be Pennsylvanians."
"Pennsylvania Bald Eagles, Celebrating 30 Years of Restoration" was filmed and edited by Game Commission videographers Harold Korber and Tracy Graziano. The film has been entered in the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival, and after making its tour around the state, will be made available to the public online.
Roe said the film was received warmly at its first public screening during a recent Board of Game Commissioners meeting. So many of those who were there and saw the film remarked on how moving they found it, he said.
"People have an indescribable connection with bald eagles, and to see the bald eagle's tale of triumph laid out in this manner simply is a thing of beauty," Roe said.
Several showings of the documentary "Pennsylvania Bald Eagles, Celebrating 30 Years of Restoration" have been scheduled to take place around the state this fall. More could be added. For an updated schedule of showings and for more information on the film, visit the Pennsylvania Game Commission's website, www.pgc.state.pa.us.
Monday, Sept. 9, 7:30 p.m. – Adams County Agricultural & Natural Resources Center, 670 Old Harrisburg Road, Gettysburg, Pa. A room number for the meeting will be posted on an inner door at the front entrance. Hosted by the South Mountain Audubon Society. For more information, visit http://southmountainaudubon.org/.
Tuesday, Sept. 17, 7 p.m. – Bellwood-Antis Public Library, 526 Main St., Bellwood, Pa. Hosted by the Juniata Valley Audubon Society. For more information, visit http://www.jvas.org/.
Saturday, Sept. 28, 5 p.m. – Hawk Mountain Sanctuary Visitor Center, 1700 Hawk Mountain Road, Kempton, Pa. For more information, visit www.hawkmountain.org.
Sunday, Sept. 29, Noon – Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area Visitor Center, 100 Museum Road, Stevens, Pa. For more information call 717-733-1512 or visit http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=613318&mode=2.
Thursday, Oct. 17, 7 p.m. – Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art, 176 Water Company Road, Millersburg, Pa. Admission to this event is $5. Ned Smith Center members can use coupons to receive half-price admission. Tickets can be purchased online at www.nedsmithcenter.org.
Saturday, Nov. 23, 1 p.m. – John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center, 8601 Lindbergh Blvd. Philadelphia, Pa. For more information, visit http://www.fws.gov/heinz/index.html.
Proposal to delist
The Pennsylvania Game Commission's Bureau of Wildlife Management plans later this month to make a recommendation for officials to remove the bald eagle from the state's list of threatened species.
At a recent Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners workshop, Game Commission biologist Doug Gross advised the board a proposal to upgrade the bald eagle's status from "threatened" to "protected" would be made formally at the board's next meeting, to be held Sept. 23 and 24 in Delmont, Pa.
Under the existing procedures, an endangered or threatened species cannot be removed from or added to the state's list without two sessions for public comment and two votes by the board.

sccy cpx-2
1 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone. I've been in the market for an inexpensive ccw pistol for awhile now. I was at cabellas and saw the sccy cpx-2 and was immediately drawn to it. Great looking gun imo and at $275 a great price point. I have shot over 150 flawless rounds thru it. If anyone is looking for an inexpensive not cheap carry weapon this may be perfect for you.
Attachment 50290

This is the cpx-2 compared to my Glock 17
Attachment 50291
I was approached by SCCY a while ago to deal with them factory direct. I was hesitant at first, but agreed. No regrets.
This is an example of what an American company can do if they are left to their own resources and they have a business plan that isn't too radical. Like FMK, they developed one pistol that does what it's supposed to do and does it well. They kept the price point at a reasonable level, so more people can afford them.
If someone is looking for a budget priced 9mm with great features and a good shooter, you guys are completely correct. This is a good way to go.
Hmm something to look into as another back up.
Put 160 rounds through the CPX-2 yesterday. 10 Fiocchi JHP (Italy), 50 Sellier & Bellot FMJ (Czech), 50 Magtec FMC (Brazil) and, 50 Speer-Lawmen TMJ (USA).
I've put alot of Tula through mine with zero problems. I can't remember the name, but I keep jacketed hollow points in mine while carrying. I decided to try a couple mags of them and again, zero problems. Im very satisfied with my purchase and recommend this gun to anyone looking for an inexpensive carry weapon.
Whats the trigger pull like and has any of you checked the pull weight. Some info comes better from forums than from the web sights.
I don't know the lbs of trigger pull, however it is a long pull. There is no safety so the long trigger pull is necessary. One thing to remember, this is not a range gun. I shoot it once in a while just to make sure everything is functioning. This gun for me anyway is to potentially save my families or my life. I have other guns that I shoot at the range on a regular basis.

In case you haven't heard, 21 of the Instigators of this group recently completed The Character-Based Leader: Instigating a Leadership Revolution… One Person at a Time. We've received some positive press and some interesting sales numbers, but we don't live in a wonder-land.
There is a bit of dis-order and anarchy behind the idea of character-based leadership. It can be chaotic to consider everyone acting like a leader. We know this book isn't for everyone. So in the interest of full-disclosure, we'd like to compile a warning-label for the book.
Top 10 Reasons You Won't Like The Character-Based Leader book:
- You don't read.
- You believe leaders are born, not made.
- You believe that only people as smart as you can lead. "Some people have to be followers."
- You think that people should obey and not think for themselves.
- Your goal is to "climb your way to the top."
- You think things will fall apart if everyone can "just do what they want."
- You know the best way to get ahead is to follow all the rules.
- You see leadership as a position or a title.
- You think the best leaders are "benevolent tyrants."
- You just want everyone to do things your way, for now. "We can try this 'leadership' thing later."
Have you read the book? Are you a supporter of the idea of character-based leadership? If so, help us out. Who else should we warn? Would you add your own items to the list in the comments below? Let's help people who won't like the book avoid it. Please, do those people a favor by adding to the list below!
Author's note: Reason 11 might be that you don't recognize sarcasm.

Jim works in the field of sustainable aviation as a principal research engineer within the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the Associate Director for the Partnership for AiR Transportation Noise and Emissions Reduction (PARTNER), a leading aviation cooperative research organization, and an FAA/NASA/Transport Canada-sponsored Center of Excellence. His work focuses on mitigating the environmental impacts of aviation through alternative fuels for aviation, aircraft design, and operations.
Alternative Fuels for Aviation:
Jim is leading research sponsored by the FAA, AFRL, and TRB to quantify the potential of alternative fuels to reduce the life cycle environmental impact of aviation. The life cycle of a fuel encompasses recovery and transportation of the feedstock to the production facility, processing of these materials into fuels, transportation and distribution of the fuel to the aircraft tank, and finally, the combustion of the fuel in the aircraft. The research has been focused on fuels that are compatible with today's fleet of aircraft. Within PARTNER Project 17, the technical feasibility of alternative fuels was evaluated while PARTNER Project 28 focuses on environmental and economic feasibility of alternative fuels. ACRP 02-07 considered the feasibility of alternative fuels from the airport perspective.
Aircraft Design for the Environment:
Jim was co-chief engineer for the Silent Aircraft Initiative, a collaboration between Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Cambridge University. The Silent Aircraft project had the bold aim of discovering ways to reduce aircraft noise dramatically, to the point where it would be virtually unnoticeable to people outside the airport perimeter in a typical built-up area. He has followed up the work of the Silent Aircraft Initiative by participating in a NASA-sponsored N+3 project wherein he worked with a team to design Hybrid Wing Body aircraft for fuel efficiency, low noise, and reduced emissions. This work is considering both conventional jet fuel and cryogenic methane as the fuel for the aircraft.
Fundamental Research on Jet Noise:
Jim received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from The Ohio State University in 2004. His dissertation focused on the generation of noise by large turbulence structures within a high-speed jet. The experiments presented therein show the intimate relationship between the dynamics of turbulence and the creation of sound. His work is the first to visualize the time evolution of large turbulence during the creation of sound within a high Reynolds number, high-speed jet.

Here is a top 10 list of charity shops across south-east London.
The list was compiled by Sean Brady, from Eltham, based on what he feels are the "best buys" for books, clothes and electrical goods.
It was submitted as part of our 'write a top 10 list' competition. If you have an interesting or funny list, send it to us for the chance to win £50 when the competition ends on March 31. See below for details.
1. Cancer Research in Eltham High Street (can't divulge why!). I've had lots of good stuff there. Shame the upstairs £1 shop is closed.
2. Greenwich & Bexley Hospice in Eltham High Street (got my Roomba there).
3. Geranium charity shop in Lee Green (got my Stephen King hardback in there, after waiting a year to get it).
4. ALD Life in Penge. Great for CDs and vinyl (although not for the shop assistant's singing!).
5. Greenwich & Bexley Hospice in Welling. All three of them are great, but this one is like a museum, with lots of great artefacts.
6. Sense in Mottingham. Got a great jacket in there once. Even had a pole, for dancing in there, once!
7. Oxfam in Blackheath. A compendium of books.
8. Cancer Research in Lewisham. If only for the random layout of the shop!
9. Cats Protection League in Eltham. The cat in there wasn't very friendly, and there was a sign to warn customers! Very cheap books.
10. Oxfam in Bromley. Had a live music session in there last year. Very good.
To enter our list competition fill in your details here and write your own top 10. It can be a top 10 memories of ..., top 10 facts about ..., top 10 reasons for ... – anything you like really, and so much the better if you can put a local spin on it.
Once we receive your list we'll check it over and if it's suitable we'll publish it at newsshopper.co.uk. Out of all the lists received between now and March 31 we'll pick our favourite, taking into account page views and shares after it's been published, and the author of the winning list will be sent a £50 cheque.

In Preview of Oprah Interview, Justin Bieber Talks About Dating Selena Gomez
ABC Digital
Updated at
(NEW YORK) — In his upcoming appearance on Oprah's Next Chapter, Justin Bieber tells Oprah Winfrey about his high-profile romance with girlfriend Selena Gomez, his music and his life in the spotlight. In a preview of the interview shown Thursday on ABC's Good Morning America, Justin says he does what's needed to have a relationship with Selena, even when the logistics of dating get tricky.
"Sometimes we gotta take the back exits and do different things," explains Justin in the preview. Regardless of the efforts required, says Justin, "I never make [Selena] separate from me 'cause… I don't want her to ever feel like I'm ashamed of her."
Justin explains that comment by saying, "I feel like a lot of guys do that, you know, especially in the business. [They] don't want to be seen with their girl so they'll make them ride in separate cars and do all that 'getaway' stuff. If we get away, we're, you know, getting away together."
While Oprah's done a slew of interviews, she says chatting with The Bieb was beyond major. "It's the biggest thing I've done since Michael Jackson in 1993," Oprah told the hosts of Good Morning America on Thursday.
As previously reported, the interview for Oprah's Next Chapter will air in more than 100 countries worldwide on Nov. 25 on OWN.

hx100v - anybody tried this
I got this response from ACMAXX about their product (link in first post):
'ACMAXX Multi-Coated LENS UV IR FILTER' for my camera- Sony DSC-HX100V:
1- Is there a product specifically for Sony HX100V which will 'fit exactly'
Yes, 100% sure
2- Is this filter 'solid' or is it more 'like a film'
It is Solid
3- what is the thickness of this filter
1.2-2.0mm depending on items. HX100V is thick because the lens is large in size.
4- what is this filter made of - any website link which gives more information on this technology?
It is a tempered crystal.
5- what kind of adhesive is used by this filter - does it's 'sticky power' gets weaker as time progresses
3M special made type
does it's 'sticky power' gets weaker as time progresses > YES it does
6- what is the likelyhood of this filter 'coming off' by itself - even in long term
So far we sold it for over two years no customer complain about this issue.
7- how easy/difficult it is to take this filter off
You can remove it anytime and should only take you less 60~30 second.
8- does the filter leave any 'sticky/gummy' residue on camera once it is taken off
It is designed easy to be cleaned on your lens barrel.
9- does the filter quality/properties degrade over time
NO, we are very sure, we use material from Germany. it is designed to last long time.
10- the postage cost to uk is too much..........can this be reduced? OR Is there anybody in UK selling your product?
So far because it is made in USA, production quantity is limited.
We can only offer it in USA.
Best Regards,
For me point number 10 is bad news. The cost of postage is unreal and this is the only reason I will not buy this product.
Sony HX100V

With a 9-2 record after a win over rival USC, the buzz in Westwood was deafening, as there were plenty of reasons to be excited about a seemingly new-and-improved UCLA football program. Three games later, that excitement has certainly diminished somewhat.
The Bruins lost their final three games of the season, two of which were near-blowout defeats. Granted, two of those losses came against a Rose Bowl-bound Stanford team that's ranked in the Top 10 all season. But after being blown out of their bowl game by a Baylor team that featured one of the nation's worst defenses, has UCLA's feel-good optimism been stunted?
"We're on the right path," UCLA Coach Jim Mora said after the 49-26 loss to Baylor. We've got a long ways to go to become the team that we want to be. The team that we want to be is a national champion. Tonight showed us how far we have to go, but we're determined to get there, and we're heading in the right direction. But we're a long ways off; we will fight our tails off to get there."
That seemed to be the theme outside the locker room in the hours following UCLA's loss. The Bruins had won nine wins the year after a disheartening season in 2011 under then-coach Rick Neuheisel. The culture had changed. And for that reason, players insisted, the 2012 season was still a rousing success.
"I'm proud of our season," senior cornerback Aaron Hester said. "I'm proud of this UCLA team. 9-5? Who would've thought after last year. We came a lot further.
"It's just starting. We're at the infant stages of what UCLA is going to be. This year is just a glimpse. I don't think we even had a full year with Coach Mora. I'll give it next year and the year after that when this program will really blossom. … This year was just a tiny glimpse of it."
A nine-win season was certainly better than most expected from the Bruins in 2012, as UCLA started the season with a freshman quarterback, two freshman and a sophomore fresh off of a two-year hiatus on the offensive line, and a former running back as their best pass-rushing option. Each of those question marks were answered with best-case scenarios on the field.
The vibe of optimism was palpable as players filtered out to the team buses, each of them taking with them old memories and anecdotes of success this season. Hester recalled fondly the first time the team had met Mora and the spark he had felt then. Offensive lineman Jeff Baca expressed how glad he was that "things happened for a reason" and he was given the opportunity for a fifth season of eligiblity. All of the Bruins' seniors questioned what it would be like if they could come back for one more season.
But overall, they would not waver on the fact that the 2012 season should be considered a success. It's a question that will no doubt be posed all offseason long.
"I don't think it takes away anything from what we accomplished this season," junior wideout Shaq Evans said. "Just to think of where we were in spring ball and how close we became from San Bernadino … you can't take that away from us. … What we accomplished this season could never be taken away by one loss."

New Server is a bit Slow
George Hill
September 22, 2001, 12:41 AM
Maybe we were spoiled with the old server... but this is now very slow. If your using the same box, then the bandwidth is a lot less than what we used to have.
September 22, 2001, 03:56 AM
No difference here. My boondocks analog connection is lucky to exceed 28.8 on the best days.
Derek Zeanah
September 22, 2001, 09:40 AM
Seems slower here (Savannah, Georgia) on both my DSL line and the 10 Mbit connection at Hunter Army Airfield.
'Course, that could be partially to blame by the bandwidth consumed by the new worm going around on NT Servers...

Same problem here, but it's not a worm.....we're on a Linux server. Same one as last week.
We'll check into it.

..much of what you all said. Sorry. 51 years old. I use webtv. It was slower last night, however this morning it's much faster for me.

I am just glad we are back. Thursday night at work was awful dull. :(

From our new Web Host (Came in last night....I'm still catching up.)
FYI … I am seeing some sort of packet loss at the router… looks to me like it is impacting speed and am guessing there is a bad cable somewhere in the new setup… will try and troubleshoot tomorrow…
Derek Zeanah
September 22, 2001, 11:49 AM
Glad you've isolated the problem.
Just FYI, I was referring to general slowness across the internet due to the activity attributed to the worm in question (can't think of any of the URL's that track i-net congestion).
George Hill
September 22, 2001, 11:49 AM
Is this a dedicated box like the old one? What kind of server are we running on?
Yeah, 25% packet loss. Slower ping times too.

It seemed slow to me during the startup also. But for me the real clue is the number of double taps. They tell me lots of folks were experiencing slowdowns (or actually "stopdowns"). We had a whole bunch for a few days and now they are practically gone.

text: I've been reading quite a few posts regarding limited traction. Today I got on the throttle a bit and mine wont spin the tires in 1st or 2nd if you just mat it unless you're around 10mph in 1st and stomp on it or side step the clutch. Power shifting from 1st to 2nd gave a tiny bit of tires spin but nothing significant. Do the 255s on the Brembo package really provide that much more traction than the rest? I'm amazed by the rear grip; either that or my car is down on power from everybody elses.

Three Cups of Maybe
You've probably heard by now that Greg Mortenson, the author of Three Cups of Tea, is under fire for allegedly exaggerating or concocting from whole cloth many of the events in his famous book.
Mortenson has become a major force in shaping America's mental picture of itself in an age of permanent war. We are warriors, his book suggests, but also healers and teachers.
In March 2010, David Sommerstein reported on the profound impact of Mortenson's visit to Fort Drum, near Watertown, to talk with soldiers and families.
"As [military] spouses, we spend so much of our time hoping the phone doesn't ring, finding comfort in each other," said Heather Sutton, one of the organizers of the Watertown event.
"When we read a book like that, I think we automatically need to and want to see the positive."
But on Sunday, the CBS News magazine 60 Minutes reported in depth that many of Mortenson's claims about his own personal narrative and about his school-building work in Afghanistan, are dubious.
It remains unclear whether he will be able to explain away the apparent discrepancies in his hope-inspiring tale.
But it's worth noting that supposedly well-meaning literary frauds are a fairly common event in our culture, going back hundreds of years.
One of the most interesting cases involves the poems of Ossian.
The poems were supposedly discovered and translated in the 1760s by a Scottish poet named James Macpherson, and they formed a centerpiece of the Scottish independence movement.
Activists snapped up the work, and adopted it as a sort of banner of their worldview.
They needed the hope and identity that seemed to be buried in those lyrics, just as families at Fort Drum need Mortenson's narrative of war-zone idealism.
It turns out the Ossian writings were largely cooked up by Macpherson himself, but that didn't prevent the poems from becoming hugely politically influential. Thomas Jefferson was a fan, supposedly, as was Napolean.
There was a time when this kind of thing was looked on with less severity. Here's an account of Benjamin Franklin's often political writing offered during a PBS documentary about his work.
"When Franklin used a pseudonym, he often created an entire persona for the 'writer.' Sometimes he wrote as a woman, other times as a man, but always with a specific point of view."
Franklin often winked at his readers, suggesting that his work was less a con and more a literary device.
But there has emerged in the last half-century a bizarre cottage industry in Holocaust writing, for example, that purports to actually be authentic, first-person accounts of life under the Nazi regime.
Often these deceptive works offer powerful expressions of persecution and identity.
The most famous is probably The Painted Bird, by Jerzy Kosinsky, which was embraced by political figures including Elie Wiesel.
Most scholars now believe Koskinsky's text was not autobiographical but was, rather, a fairly inspired work of fiction.
The personal memoir is perhaps most vulnerable to this kind of fool-me-twice writing.
James Frey's hugely influential account of his own troubled life, "A Million Little Pieces," turned out to be heavily leavened with hokum.
So was Margaret Seltzer's account of life in the gang culture of East LA, which was withdrawn by her publisher when it turned out the work was largely fiction.
The truth, of course, is that the truth matters.
Whether writers are shaping our mental landscape over relatively small domestic things — addiction and recovery, for example — or big things like war and genocide, they can literally change the world.
If Mortenson's account of his own humanitarian work turns out to be accurate, then we know something concrete and meaningful and hopeful about our society's role in Afghanistan, both as warriors and as peace-makers.
But if his account is mostly fiction, then we have learned once again, painfully, that in war truth really is the first casualty.

Woodside School: Soppy Birthday No. 4
Ben was a member of the Zombies, a gang of boys who thought that birthdays were 'soppy' and spent much of their time annoying the girls in class 5. Ben more than anything else wanted a recorder for his birthday, but of course he had to keep very quiet about it. When his birthday came around, he got rather more than he had bargained for!

Mega Millions Jackpot Swells to Whopping $476 Million
ABC Digital
Updated at
UPDATE: The Mega Millions lottery jackpot has grown to an estimated $500 million ahead of Friday's drawing at 11 p.m. ET.
(NEW YORK) — The winning numbers for the $356 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot, the third-largest prize in the game's history, were 9, 19, 34, 44, 51 and Mega Ball 24, but they did not produce a winner, officials said.
The lack of winner from Tuesday night's drawing means the estimated jackpot will grow to an estimated $476 million for a drawing Friday, according to the official Mega Millions website. Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m. ET and Tuesday night's drawing took place in Atlanta.
The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot were estimated at about 1 in 176 million, according to lottery officials.
The largest Mega Millions jackpot ever won was $390 million in March 2007, according to Mega Millions.
The winner is selected through five balls drawn from a set of balls numbered one through 56, and one ball is drawn from a set numbered one through 46.
The estimated jackpot is based on national sales up to the time of the drawing. In the last drawing, in which there was no jackpot winner, almost 2.9 million tickets won Mega Millions prizes.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
I can help you today.
It seems you are offline so I will leave my comments and you can reply when you are back on line.
Let me first say that there is hope and help for you. Being in your profession the winter months can be a problem as you are isolated and introverted by nature. You have raised three children successfully so you know that you have the ability to do something else in your life. From what you have written I would suggest that you seek out some therapy, even if your husband complains about money. You save money by growing your own food and the money your husband makes is yours as well.
I see you are back online....good we can chat
I am sorry you have endured so many losses in your lifetime. May I ask you about the child you gave up for adoption?
i cannot get it through my head that his money is my money.that just doesn't make sense to me and the constant complaining i get just reenforces that fact. it actually makes me ill thinking that way. my sister,who is wealthy,her husband is, tells me that too. i can't seem to get it. my husband makes 56,000/year and i ask for nothing. i make 12,000/season.
i was 18 and my parents sent me away as they often did when i was a "problem" they where very religious and sent me out west to a foster family to have my daughter. there was NO support emotionally from them .to this day my mother has no clue that i had a little girl.she has never talked about it even the one time i tried. she changed the subject.
Your sister is right. Do you keep your finances separate? Do you have access to any money other than your own? You have been conditioned to ask for nothing, what makes you feel that you don't deserve it? You are not a spend thrift from what I have read. Just because he complains doesn't mean you can't sit down and work out a budget with spending money for you.
Okay, let me try to address one thing at a time. Have you ever spoken to anyone professionally about your daughter? It sounds as though you have never worked through the loss especially since your mom has reinforced by denial not to emotionally support your feelings on this subject.
Who else knows about this child's existence?
We have talked budget, but the money i make is what is mine. he says ok,but he complains so about $$ i don't feel right about asking when he doesn't remeber. i am not only not a spend thrift, i give up vacations,clothing etc.
all of my kids know about the child and all of my mates have been told. i have dear feelings about the child, who of course now is an adult, if she lived to adulthood.
Each time you lose someone it will bring other losses back to mind, and you have had quite a few in your lifetime and now your siblings. I am glad your spoke about this child to your own children. That is healthy. It would still help to speak to a therapist and if your husband complains, let him complain. You need the help right now and it isn't as though you will be in therapy for years, usually a few sessions can be very helpful. There are also churches throughout the country (I don't know what state you reside) that hold bereavement groups. Even after all these years it could help that part of your life.
There is also a great mental health website that offers groups, and can help you find a therapist who will see you either for free or a minimal amount.
www.nami.org is the website.
i feel that i might can do this. i cry a lot about this but feel i should be able to deal since i always have and i am known as a strong person,and should be. i live in va., charlottesville. i am extremely nostalgic and spend time going from,resiliant to weeping weak. thanks for your help. i will try to get help.
That is only one issue you need to address, the second is what you are feeling today, right now. You can't work because it's winter, there is something happening in your marriage, you are lonely and your self esteem is pretty low. I would suggest you get out of the house, fill your gas tank and do something for yourself. I am not sure how rural your home is but you have to be the one to take action and take care of yourself. You have choices, you can listen to him complain and be compliant or you can take control of your life and get help. Please let me know if I can help you further. You can do this, think about you first. You deserve it.
One other thought, you are an artist, if you can find an art class that isn't too far away , go for it. You will meet other women who are artists and you never know, that is how friendships begin.
well i always joke that i don't deserve things. i have reenforced this by chosing certain kinds of men, but i know it is not their issue.
Also, you may be strong but it's okay to not be that strong person all the time. Ruminating about the past isn't going to help you in the future, it's a real female issue....we all do it! Well, you do deserve things, you are beating yourself up because of ??? ......(fill in the blank). Tell yourself every day that you do deserve things and you deserve to be heard, so speak up for what you need and what you want. I know it's easy for me to say and it may cause a bit of angst but if you don't you will remain stuck.....
I tell women to find a mantra, an affirmation of themselves, something positive and then post it where you'll see it (bathroom mirror is great). Then live by that affirmation. Put it up in your studio too. It isn't easy, and it can be scary at times, these behaviors have been in place for years but you can change as long as you know you are the one who has to make the change. Please let me know how this works out, ask for me when you post. Good luck. You have the hope already.
I certainly have always done the affirmation thing.over the tears i have had many favorites,including music and their lyrics. it certainly helps.if you have a name for therapy help, i would greatly appreciate it. thanks so much. this week is better for sure.

I think the Pacers would be doing a favor for some of the guys if they release or trade them. They give up the real chance for a Championship this year to actually play basketball somewhere. But who would rather play than sit on a bench all year for a ring.
Me, I'd take the bench and the ring. But I can't play basketball anymore, anyway.
I think letting Cro go would be doing him a huge favor and I really like the guys attitude, style. Its just on this team he's not showing what he can really do.

I have had a total of 2 Fraxel treatments. The first time I wasn't prepared for how much it would hurt, and I had to call in sick to work the next day because I looked like a burn victim. The second time I was prepared for redness and the pain so I scheduled the treatment for a Friday. They upped the strength on the second pass and wow was I swollen all weekend! My poor boyfriend had to keep bringing me fresh ice packs for my red pumpkin face. They also say redheads are more sensitive to pain, and in my case that's definitely true. By the third day the pain was gone, and I peeled for about 2 more days and then I was all better.
I'm 38, and I had Fraxel done to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that came as a result of too much sun exposure as a kid, especially as fair skinned as I am. The spa I went to had all nurses on staff to perform the procedures but they are all supervised by a staff of 3 doctors. People on here will tell you to only go to a doctor for this, but since his nurses usually perform the treatment anyway why not get the benefit of the spa too?
It's been about 2 months since my 2nd (and last) treatment and I really do see an improvement in the texture and color of my skin, it's very even and smooth.
Was it worth the pain? In retrospect, yes, since I'm always in search of perfect skin. But my boyfriend said if I decide to do another one of those, I am on my own :)

Ubuntu 9.04 is called Jaunty Jackalope
Ubuntu promoter Mark Shuttleworth took on the traditional role of code-naming the next Ubuntu version on the Ubuntu mailing list. Version 9.04 is henceforth known as Jaunty Jackalope.
The successor to the currently operational Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is expected this coming April. The final planning for the new Jaunty Jackalope version should be at the center of the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Mountain View, California in December. A Jackalope is a fabled being believed to be the cross between a jackrabbit and an antelope, a jaunty rabbit with antlers. Shuttleworth thus puts the new release into a pugnacious context; in his mail he has another name for it: Warrior Rabbit.
The rabbit part of Jackalope represents for Shuttleworth the planned acceleration of the boot process inherent in 9.04, as in "quick and hard to catch." The cross between rabbit and antelope likewise symbolizes the proposed increased speed of desktop and web applications. Shuttleworth calls the latter Weblications, which integrate seamlessly with the web, as he describes in his introductory mail message about the symbolism behind the code name.
Shuttleworth expects Ubuntu 9.04 to appear on many millions of desktop PCs. Ubuntu should not to pale in comparison with Windows and Mac OS and many users will be prompted to convert, as Shuttleworth promises the developer world by calling the Ubuntu 9.04 project "a chance in a lifetime."
Apart from its symbolism, Ubuntu 9.04 also promises something more concrete: Shuttleworth announces that "Jaunty will move all of Ubuntu into Bazaar," Canonical's version control system.

How to Dual Boot Windows 8 and Windows 7
- How to Dual Boot Windows 8 and Windows 7
- Steps 3-4
Now it's time to actually get your copy of Windows 8, which at this point means the Release Preview. You can download this from Microsoft's Windows 8 Release Preview ISO download page. You have a choice between 32-bit and 64-bit; since most modern PCs are 64-bit capable, that's a better choice. Use Windows 7's included disc image burning utility to create an installer DVD from the ISO file once you've downloaded it, or you can create a bootable USB key using the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. You must boot to the upgrade disk or USB drive: You can't create a dual-boot system by starting the installer within Windows while it's running.
Pop in the installer DVD you burned or the USB stick you prepared, and restart your PC. Choose your language, then "Install Now." The product key is on the ISO download page (for reference, it's TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF). Accept the prerelease software license, and after this, choose Custom and not Upgrade. Now is when you're presented with the choice of partitions, click "Drive options (advanced)" and then select the Unallocated space we created in step 2. Next, click New from the drive options icons below. Accept the full size displayed, and hit Apply.
Now we've got a fresh partition to on which to install Windows 8 onto. Hit Next, and setup is off and running. Go have a coffee or other snack of your choice; it takes about 20 minutes. Note there was no choice for specifically creating a multi-boot setupsince you used a separate partition, that will be enabled automatically.
Your system will reboot into Windows 8, where you'll go through the typical first-run options of choosing a color pattern, WiFi connection, and Microsoft account. The next time you restart your system, however, you'll see this Windows 8 multi-boot menu before the OS starts:
By default, this screen displays for 30 seconds, and then Windows 8 launches. To change that default to your older OS, choose "Change defaults or other options" from the bottom of this multi-boot screen. Here you can change the timer value and the default boot operating system. You can also use troubleshooting tools like Refreshing or Resetting your PC, and you also have access to advanced options like system recovery and a command prompt.
And that's about all there is to say about multibooting with Windows 8. For more on getting, installing, and running Windows 8, see PCMag's Hands On With Windows 8 Release Preview, the slideshow below, and check out How Can You Get Windows 8?

6/12 Blackmoor House
Country mansion,now divided into flats. 1869, with extensions of 1882, by Alfred Waterhouse, for Sir Roundel Palmer (1st Earl of Selborne). The walls are polygonal malmstone with Bath stone dressings (quoins, plinth, mullions and transoms). Tiled roof with dormers and the wing has gables above the upper windows; tall stacks. A building of complex asymmetry, of mainly C16 French and English style, with some Gothic details; 2 storeys and attic. The front (south) of the main block has 3.1.3 windows, arranged as 2-storeyed splayed bays beneath massive gables, and there is a later lower wing to the west side, of 2 storeys and attic, 1.3 windows. Sashes. North (entrance) elevation: a massive tapered stack containing an armorial panel, a projecting Gothic porch with gable, buttresses and recessed orders. One large and one smaller gable the latter with a traceried (Geometrical) staircase window: beyond is a Scottish baronial style range with prominent gabled dormers, burring northwards to end in a tall massive tower, having a prominent roof and tiled gables. To the north-west extends a low 2 storeyed block with gables, which turns north as a long single-storeyed (former stable) range. Interior: elaborate treatment is repeated in the main rooms and staircase of the interior. The complexity of the detailing, and the use of many varied gables, results in a deliberately picturesque effect, particularly when viewed from the (north) approach, or from the south-west. (Ref. Country Life. September 1974)

Study Shows Women Use TiVo More than Men
Who is the TiVo Dominator in Your Home?
CNET reports that a recent study found that women are more "enthusiastic" when it came to DVR use, using about 56 percent of their time to watch recorded content (my TV viewing time is about 100 percent DVRed content . . . is that weird?), whereas men only use around 42 percent.
I can say that my household is totally a microcosm of this — I have more Season Passes to shows and more hours of TV time stored on our TiVo than my boyfriend does (sidenote that has nothing to do with anything: I've long held that a TiVo is a good test for a relationship — if you can divide up those gigabytes in harmony, it's a keeper).
A lot of you girl geeks claimed to be being the techie of your household a few months ago, but does that translate to the TiVo? I'm curious, who rules the DVR in your nest? Source
