The strangest place you've ever watched a film:
An elevator
What do you do for the rest of the year when you aren't programming for the Festival?
I'm a mom to two young boys (ages 1 and 5)—well, I'm a mom all year round, 24 hours a day, but in the off-season it's all about them. I also sit on juries and do some guest speaking.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Justin Bieber Parties Until 4 A.M. Following Pot Bust In Sweden
Posted on Thu Apr 25, 2013 12:45 PM PDT
Nothing stops The Biebs from having a good time!
Justin Bieber is currently overseas for his Believe world tour, and the pop star isn't letting his tour bus drug raid get him down!
In case you missed it, the "Baby" singer's vehicle was searched yesterday at the concert venue after authorities smelled marijuana, and apparently they found drugs and a stun gun on board.
Getting in trouble with the cops was just a minor hiccup in his Stockholm trip, though!
After his performance, the Canadian sensation threw on a red sweatsuit and matching sneakers to party with pals at Rose Bar until 4 a.m. in the morning! Although he recently reunited with Selena Gomez, his sweetie was nowhere to be found. Let's hope he behaved himself!
Usher's protege left the country and headed to Finland today, where he will perform another show tonight.
Do you think Bieber should be partying?

Letter to Editor written to a Philadelphia area newspaper:
Your Jan. 3 front-page story on the record high prices for gasoline is to be applauded. This type of news will become more common in the months and years to come as demand for liquid fuel begins to outstrip global supply. We need this news.
The record price of home heating oil also deserves attention. Many of us live in parts of the county that depend on oil heat. A quick check on those prices locally indicates a range from $3.45 to $4.14 a gallon. The Marcellus and Barnett bonanza doesn't help those of us who, like me, don't have access to gas lines.
As a member of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, I've been studying this issue for over a decade, and I've been preparing. The word on the petroleum street is that these record prices are not going down. Yet, rather than taking the gas pipe over this reality, I have found strategies to keep my costs in balance with my meager budget.
In 2005, I bought my wife a hybrid car for her 55-mile commute. In 2006, I bought a wood pellet stove and heated our house, including hot water, for $450 in my first full winter with it. The following year when our summer-winter oil burner died, we found that the pellet stove heated our 1,200-square-foot house just fine. Putting our new hot-water heater on a timer, our energy costs dropped again, with no loss of comfort or convenience. We planted evergreens to shield the windy side of the house.
I also began to seal air leaks and improve the half-century-old insulation in the house. And last year, I got a better used, hybrid car for my wife. Now, we both have hybrids. I've registered with the EnergyWorks program and will soon be able to get some serious work done on the house. We'll pay off the 0.99 percent loan out of the energy savings.
I mention this in spite of my fixed retirement income and the downturn in my wife's business. I was taught that being a doer is more productive than being a complainer. I took the Sustainable Building Advisor course at the community college to help me understand energy efficiency and conservation. I volunteer on a number of agencies like my township's Environmental Advisory Council and the Delaware Valley Green Building Council. I share my experiences there and learn a lot in the process. And the bottom line: It pays off.
I also mention this to highlight the fact that we can choose to not be victims of the new energy reality. There is much we can do if we're willing to do it.

does anyone here have the audio from the PacSun Hurley commentary that was played in all PacSun stores when Hurley was released?
Apparently Rivers and the band go through each song explaining and giving details about it. The PacSun I went to to buy Hurley didn't play when I was in the store, but I've heard that it was pretty cool.
Any links or info?
Views: 171
Last time someone asked for it it was revealed that nobody had it except for Radioactive... but he couldn't burn it?
I think it was only Rivers talking about each song, as far as I know.
I had a disc, but it wouldn't burn. My friend at the store gave it to me but said that it wouldn't work on a regular CD player. Sorry about that.. I really wish I could help with this one.
However, my friend and I have the giant Hurley-Weezer poster that was up, so that's something pretty cool... If unrelated.

Today is Day 9 of the Levaquin. I went out yesterday for the first time. I'm going out this afternoon and then to a choir rehearsal. I'm drugging myself up!
I FINALLY got my appointment set with Dr. Tallman at MSKCC: it's for Monday at 3 p.m., so I'm going in at 1 to have lunch with my friends in the Rehab Dept. The process has been exhausting all on its own. I'll let you guys know what the great man has to say.

Have you picked up a Southern accent from hanging around Tex already???
I hope your jailbreak wasn't premature! I'm glad to hear you've succeeded in negotiating the gauntlet of insurance and bureaucracy and finally have an appointment. Keep us posted and stay well.
It must be so: Tex manages to rub off a bit on all of us (all to the good, of course)!!!!!!! Love ya, Tex!!!
Well, I saw the "Great Man" at MSKCC. Actually, he WAS very, very nice. First out of his mouth was that he thought I HAD achieved at least a partial remission from the chemo last year, but that it was a somewhat delayed response. I DO always have to be "unusual" - otherwise I'd just be boring, Then he said I should do more chemo - but not necessarily a repeat induction and/or possibly an experimental vaccine that they are investigating. First, however, I need another BMB - which I've scheduled with my "old" MD for this Friday. I have my morphine tabs and valium all readty. My husband (a tax accountant - so you KNOW how busy they are at this time of year) has rearranged his schedule so he can come and hold my hand. So we'll take it from there. It was interesting that he (Dr, Tallman) said right off the bat that he was sure I had responded to the chemo and that he had positive feelings in view of the fact that my cytogenics also haven't changed,. (They were done about a year ago and again in Feb. of this year.)
I'll keep you all (no "Tex-ism" this time) updated. Keep your fingers crossed for me for the BMB.

One thing you obviously haven't picked up is that there's a difference in "accent" between a southerner and a Texan. One would think that's been noted by now.
Some folks think that Texans are southerners. They're wrong. We are a people unto ourselves. Although listening to the "birther" crap from my own family members this past week has made me begin to hope to hell I was adopted.
At any rate, virtually every state south of the Mason-Dixon line has it's own dialect or group of them. But Texans are a completely different animal.
I've always felt you had a response to the chemo. But as I had a feeling and the doc has some actual thoughts, I'm glad you waited for him.
It all sounds very promising, Karen. I hope things work out just the way you want them to.
So glad to hear the doctor sounded so positive. You are always so upbeat and positive. I love to read your posts. Will lift you up in prayer for BMB on Friday.
Hugs back to you!
TYVM!!! All prayers, good thoughts, etc. are gratefully accepted.
Tex: LOL! Perhaps your relatives would like to question my birth too (except I do have a birth certificate signed by Mayor LaGuardia - somewhere). I've had anti-semites tell me to "go back where your family came from", and I ask them when THEIR family came to the US. Most say "early 20th c" and have a little shock when I tell them my earliest (that I know of anyway) ancestor came to the US in 1798, so I have most of them beat by over a century.
I have a good friend who lives in Ft. Worth, so I've been "educated" in the matter of Texans. She has "issues" too: she's a devout Episcopalian but had trouble finding a parish NOT in the "African diocese". As a true Yankee, I can't deal with the "South" in general - and that means any place south of New Jersey! it gives me a headache. Sorry.
That's okay. Ya'll give us acid indigestion.
And wasn't LaGuardia a Democrat? That would make anything he had to say of no import and highly suspicious anyway.
Actually, and I could certainly stand being corrected if I'm wrong, the African Diocese might be a reference to some issues going on within the Episcopal church. I'm not sure what all the processes are but we had a local congregation leave the American church and become involved with something "African" so they could remain locked in the First through 19th centuries regarding women in ecclesiastical office.
At least the pastor aligned himself with an African bishop. It's all Greek to me.
You're right (ah, correct) - the split is all about ordination of women and, coincidentally, related to openly gay priests. It's producing some interesting law suits over who owns what (in terms of church property).
Yes, LaGuardia was a Dem. Good thing I have no intention of ever running for political office (not even a local one). ;-)
Just came from my BMB. I must be weirdly "wired", because although the MD had me lying on my left side, everything radiated down that side. I'm now having a "compensatory" Bloody Mary.
Hi Karen,
I don't post often, but i skim thru your thread most days.
Just wanted to let you know sending you my prayers and warm energy flows your way.
TYVM. I was very nervous for some reason today. Thank goodness for Valium. :-)
I'm recovering with the aid of a stiff bloody mary and an Irish coffee. LOL.
Oh, yeah. Not only lawsuits but a lot of potential violence. Apparently the priest of the local church that went African had suggested to some folks that there were people in the congregation that pulled away who could stand to be shot. The police got involved and it was quite entertaining for outsiders for awhile.
Hope you enjoyed the Bloody Mary. I like 'em a lot.

The media can greatly enhance a stormwater pollution prevention campaign. Through the media, a campaign can educate a targeted or mass audience about the problems of and solutions to stormwater pollution. A campaign can use the media to build support for remediation and retrofit projects. It can raise awareness of and spark interest in stormwater management. Best of all, packaging a stormwater message as a news story is virtually free! Surveys show that the public is interested in environmental issues, particularly when they involve water quality, drinking water, or recreation. Reporters are always looking for informative articles, features, or
columns to fill their pages or broadcasts. As with any public education
activity, however, it is important to refine your message to ensure that it is delivered effectively.
Delivering educational, promotional, or motivational messages through the
news media is similar to delivering them through other channels. For the best
results, the message should be repeated periodically and linked to something
the audience values. Covering watershed issues from several different angles
can help to accomplish this. News is the lifeblood of the media, so the message
must be packaged to attract coverage. Tailoring the message to the workings of
the media and the needs of reporters will help keep the message focused and
The following are some of the ways the media can communicate stormwater news and educational
Newspapers and Magazines. Newspapers are powerful vehicles for
delivering educational information, policy analyses, public notices, and other
messages. In recognition of the importance and impact of
newspaper coverage, many displays at watershed seminars proudly post newspaper articles
on the projects being presented. Published news articles are almost always longer and more
analytical than television stories, and they can be read by several people at
their own leisure without the "hit or miss" nature of broadcasts.
Graphics such as photos, charts, and tables can provide added perspective to published
stories, and they can deliver complex information in an
easily understood format. Public access to newspapers is usually excellent; no
specialized equipment is needed. In addition, the unending need for new articles means reporters may be particularly interested
in covering stormwater issues.
Newspapers can be accessed in several ways. Depending on the
message or event, the appropriate format might be a news release, news
advisory, query letter, letter to the editor, or (for urgent, timely
information) a news conference.
It is important to obtain information on deadlines. In some cases, it might be more strategic to
place an ad in a weekend paper if circulation is stronger on the
weekends. Also, there might be certain
times of the year when fewer stories or ads are purchased, which would
make any ad or story more prominent.
Magazines. Magazines, like
newspapers, allow for greater length and analysis than television, but they provide
the additional benefit of targeting specific audiences (e.g., landscapers, automobile
mechanics, farmers, or recreationists). It is also important to follow the news on a regular basis. If a magazine will be publishing an article on
stormwater in an upcoming issue, it would be appropriate to post an ad in that issue. However, unless a magazine
is local, it is unlikely that an article relating to stormwater will reach the targeted audience.
Radio. Due to its affordable production costs and creative possibilities, radio remains a strong media presence. Radio is everywhere - in the home, at the office, in the car, on portable headsets. Nearly everyone hears it during their day, almost every day. Of course, radio's ubiquitous presence can also dilute the take-away message of public service announcements. To some, radio is mere background noise. Messages must be repeated to reach such listeners. To saturate whole markets, the message should be distributed to many stations.
Local radio stations offer feature programming, but may not cover news in-depth. Public stations may devote more time to news and educational programming, but might not reach the target audience. To ensure the target audience is reached, match the message to the radio station's format. Radio formats range from metal to talk, country to jazz, classical to rock. Although radio's spot news coverage does not lend itself easily to in-depth analysis, radio can still play a valuable reinforcing role for other outreach efforts.
Airtime is short, so when preparing a radio spot, get right to the point. To minimize production costs, prepare scripts ahead of live radio spots. Scripts should be concise, well written, and easy to understand. Community calendars and other public notice programs require typed, double-spaced copy. The ads release date can be tied to a special day or event (like Earth Day) and updated later with different angles to improve its effectiveness. Submissions should be supported with follow-up calls or letters or even promotional items like posters.
Television. Television is the primary source of news for the majority
of the population, and local reporters are generally interested in covering
environmental stories that pertain to their area. Television news stories tend
to focus on people. Therefore, they must be engaging and compelling. Issues will attract
television coverage if they:
News Conferences. A news conference may be appropriate when breaking information requires a higher profile, or when an event is too important for a news release. To publicize the news conference, a media advisory should be sent to area outlets two days in advance. The advisory should be followed by a phone call to confirm attendance and to answer questions. A typical news conference begins with the handing-out of a news release. A news release explains the conference's purpose and includes contact information and quotes from involved parties. A moderator then makes a few introductory remarks, reads a statement, or introduces other speakers. All remarks should be carefully prepared. The floor is then opened for questions, most of which can be anticipated and prepared for beforehand. After the conference, a news release is sent to media members who did not attend.
When preparing for a planned event (such as Stream Cleanup and Monitoring,
Storm Drain Marking, Volunteer Monitoring, Adopt-A-Stream Programs, Reforestation Programs, or Wetland Plantings), a news advisory can be sent to local stations. Every advisory
should include a description of the event, when and where it will take place,
who will participate, and a contact phone number. The press advisory can be sent 1 or 2 weeks before the event.
It should include the name of the organization, a contact name, and the
reason for calling. If reporters do not show up at the event, a follow-up news
release can be sent immediately afterward so the event can still be covered.
Public Service Announcements. Public service announcements (PSAs) can be a successful outreach approach if they are widely broadcast. Newspapers will run PSAs for events or activities that are free or sponsored by a nonprofit organization. Radio stations will air PSAs if they feel they are of interest to listeners. Information on watershed festivals, stormdrain stenciling, river clean-ups, or pollution hotline numbers make good PSAs. Although free, radio PSAs sometimes air late at night or early in the morning, not always the best times to reach the target audience. Television PSAs can be highly effective if aired on selected stations at appropriate times. All PSA information should be submitted at least one month in advance. Any municipality preparing a PSA for the first time is advised to seek advice from another agency or hire a professional agency.
The Stormwater Quality Management Committee in Clarke County, Nevada has several
examples of radio and television PSAs on their website.
Internet Message. The Internet is becoming an increasingly powerful means of communication. It provides worldwide access to hundreds of thousands
of sites containing database/mapping features, chat rooms for special interest
groups, and millions of documents. Because agency personnel, environmental groups, and the business community use the World Wide Web extensively, it can be a valuable tool to convey a stormwater pollution message. Average citizens, however, still get the bulk of their environmental messages from television, radio and other traditional venues. A web-based message is geared toward a specific "connected" audience that may be more receptive to the cause and its objectives than an "unconnected" audience.
A municipality's website is a good place to post stormwater information. Information should be
placed on the stormwater department's page and any other
relevant department's page. If there is enough interest, the department can
develop an automated e-mail address list (list server). A list server is a distribution list recorded in an e-mail account. It allows a message to be sent to everyone on the list at
once. Active stormwater programs can establish an e-mail
list server to keep stakeholders updated on meetings, policy discussions, and
other developments. Implementing this communication link is simple and inexpensive. Because it is convenient and provides a written record of the
communication, e-mail is the preferred communication medium among many citizens, business people, and agency officials.
Interest-group websites can be a good way to reach specific audiences, such as recreational fishermen, automobile mechanics, farmers, etc. Such websites can reach not only a local audience but also a national one. Explore these sites before deciding to use them in an outreach program. The Internet's importance to local watershed outreach efforts will likely grow in the future.
During its stormwater pollution prevention program, San Diego County's Environmental Health Coalition (EHC) used the media several times. They placed PSAs in newspapers advertising a watershed collection event. They developed a media kit on urban runoff, and they held two new conferences. The first, held aboard a cruise ship, announced the release of the Chollas Creek Watershed Protection Calendar. Winners of an student art competition designed the calendar's pages. After the news conference, all participants were invited to remain aboard for a tour of San Diego Bay, the object of the Coalition's preservation efforts. San Diego's leading local TV station carried the event.
The second news conference announced the release of the urban runoff media kit. The conference, which featured the stenciling of stormdrains near the San Diego Administrative Building, was attended by representatives of the Surfrider Foundation and a state senator. All the major media outlets covered the event. The City of San Diego funded the media kit.
Neighborhood Association Newsletters. Many neighborhood and homeowner associations publish newsletters. Adding stormwater information, especially steps individuals can take to help, would target specific areas and increase the sense of community involvement. Such associations frequently look for new topics and speakers for club events.

Working with the media is usually free, but not always. While news releases and articles are generally free, some television stations may charge fees to air PSAs. And while newspapers and radio station rarely charge fees to run PSAs, you should contact local stations for cost estimates. Existing websites usually don't charge to post Internet messages, but an Internet host company may charge for messages posted on new sites.

About Maui
Maui is a tropical paradise with many of the United States' most scenic and certainly warmest beaches. Though that is not all you will find in Hawaii's second largest island. With epic volcanoes, Maui's wilderness is just as exciting as its baby blue waters. The variety of activities Maui offers is what makes Maui such a popular destination. West Maui is definitely the most commonly visited and therefore most developed coast, full of resorts, hotels, and vacation rentals, though in any of the regions in Maui you can find beautiful places to stay and things to do.
Things to Do in Maui
Ah the beaches: Keawakapu Beach, Napili Beach and Ka'anapali Beach are only three mentions but there are countless more. Apart from the usual sun bathing activities, Maui is chalk full of canoe, surfing and snorkel opportunities. In the winter, humpback whales migrate right up to the coast; seeing them is worth the extra cost of flying during the high tourist season. Golf courses speckle the island so decide on your destination then take your pick of at least two golf courses being driving if not walking distance from your Maui vacation rental. Haleakala National Park and Iao Valley State Monument have unreal hiking trails going through waterfalls and up to crater peaks. A drive on The Road to Hana is a spectacular road along sea cliffs and Wainapanapa State Park waits at the end.
Maui Accommodations
Lahaina is the big city in West Maui; the royals used to live there and as long as you don't mind the resorts, a Lahaina vacation rental will certainly make you feel like one. After you drive east on The Road to Hana, find a great rental in Hana to rest and wow over the drive. Book a Wailea rental in South Maui for more beaches and golf courses. Remember, no matter where you are, you can pretty much get anywhere on the island on a solid day trip.

Demand for 1BHK outshines supply in Marathahalli-Kundalahalli, BangaloreDec 14, 2012, 06:10PM IST
Featured Today
Marathahalli and Kundalahalli, the residential hubs in Bangalore near the IT hubs Whitefield, Sarjapur and ITPL among others, witnessed a considerable demand for 1BHK units. Adjacent to each other, both the cities enjoy similar connectivity advantages.
While explaining the reasons behind the high demand, Rajan says "The bachelors who are earning less than Rs 50,000 per month look for purchasing 1BHK units as they do not want to pay high rental costs for 2 and 3 BHK". A 1BHK unit covering an area of 600-700 sq ft is easily available at Rs 16-17 lakh in resale market while no new 1BHK units are available in the market.
There are rarely any 1BHK units available for rent. The available units cost Rs 10,000- 12,000 per month. Rental value for a 2BHK ranges from Rs 18,000-25,000 per month and Rs 30,000-40,000 per month for a 3BHK.
According to the MagicBricks.com data, about 26 per cent of total demand in both the areas is coming for 1BHK configuration. Confirming this, Madhusudan Rajan from Ask Properties, a city-based realty firm says, "We receive atleast 20 queries daily about the availability of 1BHK units in Marathahalli and Kundalahalli".
Who are the interested buyers? IT professionals from companies like ITPL, JP Morgan and others from Sarjapur Road to Whitefield constitute the major buyers' segment.
The advantages that a buyer sees in these areas are the connectivity and all the infrastructural facilities like schools, hospitals, banks, etc. available in the vicinity. Marathahalli and Kundalahalli are two areas that are directly connected to many other areas in East Bangalore through Old Airport Road, Outer Ring Road and Marathahalli Bridge.
Contrary to the high demand for 1BHK, there are no upcoming or planned projects in this area that cater to this need. There are more than 20 new projects coming up in Marathahalli and Kundalahalli, all of them are catering to the 2BHK and 3BHK segments. The prevailing rates of residential apartments in these areas range from Rs 3,000-4,500 per sq ft.
Builders are not making 1BHK apartments due to high cost of land, which is about Rs 3,000-5,000 per sq ft. "A buyer who is looking for 1BHK unit has a budget of Rs 20-23 lakh. For Developers to build 1BHK in this range in Marathahalli and Kundalahalli, even with only basic necessities, is not profitable", adds Rajan.
"In most of the cases, these buyers opt for the economic size 2BHK costing Rs 23-26 lakh with an area of about 650 to 750 sq ft offered by small builders", says Praveen Nandimervenda from Harihara Props, a city-based realty firm.

This was a game in which the Bears needed Matt Spaeth's blocking, but he got on the field for only nine offensive snaps. Jonathan Scott played six snaps as a tight end, however.
Kellen Davis caught both passes thrown his way, but both came late with the game out of hand.
Grade: 2
Campbell didn't have much help from anyone, and he didn't help himself much either. The 49ers' first sack of the day was on Campbell for holding the ball 4.2 seconds and not trying to move or throw the ball away.
Campbell showed poor judgment on both of his interceptions.
He didn't have a single completion of more than 18 yards, and that was a short pass that Michael Bush ran with.
The one thing you have to give him credit for is the way he kept getting up and fighting. There was no backing down for Campbell.
Running backs
Grade: 3
The blocking did not allow Forte and Bush many opportunities. Neither avoided defenders very well.
Evan Rodriguez threw a few nice lead blocks. He also finally should have had his first NFL reception, but he allowed 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis to strip the ball.
Wide receivers
Grade: 2
Somebody other than Brandon Marshall finally led the Bears in receiving. But Devin Hester did it with 23 yards.
Marshall made the only noteworthy catch of the night, his leaping, reaching touchdown catch over Chris Culliver. Otherwise, he was taken out of the game.
Special teams
Grade: 3
Adam Podlesh' punting was improved and the Bears covered kicks fairly well. Other than that, the special teams play was below average.
There were two penalties. Hester fumbled on a kickoff return and averaged -0.3 yards per punt return, mostly because he went backward nine yards on one when he should have cut it straight upfield.

Friday Garden Chronicles and Garden Music
I know that many of you are great fans of the Wauwatosa Farmers Market. My pal Karen, who also blogs on this page, has extolled its praises.
I'm beginning to get the feeling that one of these days I should consider becoming a vendor. Because before too long I am going to be swimming in produce.
Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em
Metcalf's Sentry recently had wild-caught trout on sale. So I stocked my freezer with a quantity of these fillets thinking of grilling and smoking opportunities that might present themselves.
Let me tell you - smoked trout is a delicacy that cannot be beat.
If the creek don't rise
We live halfway up a hill, and when the heavy rains came most of the water ran down it to torment the neighbors below us. It's still running along the parkway, a bit of disputed territory between the county and the city.
The city had just poured tar and gravel on the streets, and the black cloth in the drains interferred some with proper flow. There were temporary fountains and little gravel beaches when the water subsided.
The Pitter Patter of Little Feet
I happen to think that there happens to be nothing more up-lifting than a puppy picture to brighten your day.
This is Girlfriend making her first retrieve.
Love animals? Then you need a reading
Hummingbirds have always held a special appeal for me. I nicknamed our house Hummingbird Hill when we first moved in to it back in 1997 after I saw the tiny creature fluttering around our windows on moving day.
When I picked the Hummingbird card from a deck of cards that was fanned out before me on a table recently, I didn't understand the message at first.

MANUFACTURER: Rapid Reticle
Review This Item
The RAPID-RETICLE Pride Fowler Industries 2.5-10x40 Illuminated Rifle Scope (RR-900-4) was designed to military specifications for US Army snipers and infantrymen shooting both .223 Remington (5.56 NATO) and .308 Winchester (7.62 NATO) rifles.
With the patented Rapid-Reticle ballistic reticle and integrated head and shoulders ranging system, military snipers and infantrymen can now acquire targets faster and accurately shoot without manual adjustments. The illumination extends the use of the scope in low light conditions and has been designed to work with night vision equipment.
Field tested thoroughly by veteran snipers, this scope has been accepted as a standard through the US Army Force Modernization division where the RR-900-4 surpassed all expectations.
Noted as a force multiplier, the Rapid-Reticle 2.5-10x40 Illuminated Riflescope has emerged as an exemplary necessity for both combat and commercial applications.

Cold agglutinin disease
Other Names for this Disease
- Anemia, hemolytic, cold antibody
- Cold antibody disease
- Cold antibody hemolytic anemia
What are the signs and symptoms of cold agglutinin disease?
What causes cold agglutinin disease?
How is cold agglutinin disease diagnosed?
How might cold agglutinin disease be treated?
What is cold agglutinin disease?
What are the signs and symptoms of cold agglutinin disease?
The blood of patients with cold agglutinin disease, when exposed to cold temperatures, behaves in ways that are quite different from the blood of healthy people. In affected individuals, certain proteins that normally attack bacteria (IgM antibodies), attach themselves to red blood cells and bind them together into clumps (agglutination). The antibodies activate other components of the blood, eventually causing red blood cells to be prematurely destroyed (hemolysis), thus causing anemia.[4]
Subsequent signs and symptoms can include weakness, dizziness, fatigue, headache, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and spots before the eyes. Additional symptoms \may include irritability, bizarre behavior, absence of menstrual cycles in affected females (amenorrhea), gastrointestinal complaints, low levels of circulating red blood cells (anemia), enlargement of the spleen (splenomegaly), and/or persistent yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and whites of the eyes (jaundice). In some cases, affected individuals may experience sweating and coldness of the fingers and/or toes, and uneven bluish or reddish discoloration of the skin of the fingers, toes, ankles, and wrists (called acrocyanosis or Raynaud's sign). Heart failure or shock may result in some cases.[4]
What causes cold agglutinin disease?
How is cold agglutinin disease diagnosed?
Detailed information about the various tests used to make a diagnosis of CAD is available on Medscape Reference's Web site.
How might cold agglutinin disease be treated?
When people do not respond to corticosteroids or when the corticosteroid causes intolerable side effects, surgery to remove the spleen (splenectomy) may be considered. If the destruction of red blood cells persists after removal of the spleen or when surgery cannot be performed, immunosuppressive drugs, such as cyclophosphamide or azathioprine, may be prescribed.[4]
Plasmapheresis, which involves filtering blood to remove antibodies, is occasionally helpful when other treatments fail. When red blood cell destruction is severe, blood transfusions are sometimes needed, but they do not treat the cause of the anemia and provide only temporary relief. In cases where blood transfusions are necessary, certain guidelines must be followed because of the temperature sensitivities involved.[4]

19th Century Bicycle Memorabilia
Note: The objects pictured above are part of The Franklin Institute's protected collection of objects. The images are © The Franklin Institute. All rights are reserved.
These bicycle prizes once belonged to Mr. Abbott Bassett. Mr. Bassett was the secretary of The League of American Wheelme (LAW). 150 wheelmen gathered in Newport, Rhode Island to attend the first meeting of the LAW. During this time horse-drawn carriage drivers did not like the idea of having bicycles on public roads. Bicycles were not allowed in Central Park, New York City! The league worked very hard to change these laws and improve the conditions for bicyclists
Cycling became so popular that in 1897 there were 100,000 members in the League of American Wheelman. This league still exists today and is called The League of American Bicyclists.
Did you know that bicycles changed the way women dressed? Before bicycles were around, women wore very restrictive clothing. Once they began to ride bicycles they had to wear clothing that allowed them to move about. In 1896 Susan B. Anthony said, "The bicycle has done more for the emancipation of women then anything else in the world."

Pierce, West Selected to Payton Award Watch List
RICHMOND, Va. – CAA Football was represented by a pair of standout players in Delaware's Andrew Pierce and Towson's Terrance West on the 2013 Walter Payton Award Watch List. The Sports Network announced the 20-member watch list on Monday.
Pierce concluded his junior campaign with All-CAA honors for the third consecutive year. Despite battling injuries for much of the season, the Bridgeton, N.J., native and 2011 finalist managed to finish among the league leaders in rushing with a team-best 703 yards and four touchdowns. Although Pierce missed two games to injuries and played sparingly in a pair of others, he closed out the fall as CAA Football's sixth-leading rusher with 78.1 yards per game and ran for 100 or more yards three times. He enters his senior season ranked third in the Blue Hen record books with 3,637 career rushing yards.
West has earned First Team All-CAA accolades in each of the past two seasons. The Baltimore product has recorded an impressive 2,340 yards and 44 touchdowns in two years with the Tigers. He completed his sophomore campaign as the league's second-leading rusher with 1,046 yards to go with a conference-best 15 scores. West was named the inaugural Jerry Rice Award Winner in 2011 after turning in a school record 29 rushing touchdowns.
For the complete Payton Award Watch List release, please visit sportsnetwork.com. The Sports Network has also created an awards homepage accessible here.
The Payton Award Watch List can undergo revision during the 2013 season. Ballots will be sent to a panel of about 175 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries after the close of the regular season on Nov. 23. The top three vote-getters will be invited to The Sports Network FCS Awards Presentation in December.
The Sports Network also presents the Buck Buchanan, Jerry Rice and Eddie Robinson Awards. The Buchanan Award honors the FCS defensive player of the year, the Rice Award goes to the FCS freshman of the year and the Robinson Award honors the FCS coach of the year. Those three winners will join the top three Payton Award finalists at December's national awards banquet.
CAA Football is on Twitter @CAAFootball and uses the official hashtag #CAAFB. We can also be found on Facebook, Instagram and blogging on our Every Day Is Saturday official blog at caafootball.wordpress.com. All CAA Football video productions can be found on our YouTube Channel.

What's cooler than Facebook and Zynga? Combining what made each into billion-dollar companies -- social networking and gaming -- with psychology and data analytics and creating a completely new industry. It's called gamification and it's attracting an eclectic mix of employees eager to get in on the ground floor of the next big thing.
While venture capital and engineering talent are still pouring into the social and gaming sectors, hordes of game designers, salespeople, computer programmers and others are staking a claim in the burgeoning industry. While gamification is still in an "embryonic stage," it will eventually be used by 60% of mid-to-large sized organizations in the next decade, according to research firm Gartner Inc. The market for such services is estimated to reach $242 million this year and grow to $2.8 billion by 2016, according to a report by M2 Research.
In its simplest form, "gamification" is a marketing strategy that uses competition and rewards to prompt people to commit specific actions, usually buying things, but increasingly to motivate better employee performance. Just as teenagers once spent hours and pockets full of quarters at arcades so that they could get their initials at the top of the Pac-Man leaderboard, today big brands are using incentives like virtual points, trophies, and badges to keep customers buying their cars and watching their television shows and their employees making sales.
"The whole business is wide open"
The whole business is wide open
Combined with social networking that lets winners advertise their gains, gamification can be a powerful way to motivate behavior. "If I get a reward and I'm the only one who knows about it, it's not that big of a deal," says Kevin Akeroyd, the senior vice president of gamification company Badgeville. "When you put the social layer on top of the reward, it makes it that much more powerful."
Diverse Blend
Unlike some tech professions that treasure coding skills above all else, work in gamification offers the chance to collaborate with a diverse blend of colleagues drawn from various industries. Molly Kittle, 35, vice president of digital strategy at Bunchball, a San Jose, Calif. gamification company with 60 employees, for instance, studied experimental theater in college and learned how to code so that she could create a website to advertise her art.
At Badgeville, a Bunchball competitor based in Menlo Park, Calif., the company makes the varied expertise of its staff part of its sales pitch to customers like Samsung and eBay. "We're hiring Ph.D.s and behavioral psychologists and social game designers, so you're selling experience, psychology, game design," says Akeroyd.
Badgeville was founded in 2010 by Chief Executive Kris Duggan after 10 years in various executive sales roles, most recently as vice president of sales at Socialtext, a customer service technology company. Since then, Badgeville has quickly emerged as a leader in the gamification space. It has created gamified applications for companies like Active.com, a health and fitness site, where users get virtual high fives and status recognition from community members when they lose weight.
Among the non-traditional employees the company has hired are Oded Korczyn, a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from Stanford, who helped create applications before leaving the company in March. Badgeville's regional vice president of sales, Omar Divina, studied philosophy at Yale.
Badgeville senior game designer Tony Ventrice has always been interested in psychology, taking classes in college on the subject and spending his free time "people watching." As a child he'd watch television commercials with an analyst's eye, trying to determine who marketers were targeting with their ads. After several stints at gaming companies including Zynga and Playdom, Ventrice joined Badgeville last June.
Shape a New Industry
The chance to shape a new industry is another attraction. "What I gained was being able to forge out this new field and be a part of defining what gamification is," says Ventrice. "No one knows how this business is going to work. There's no template. You can look at eBay and Amazon and say that's how we do it in e-commerce. Here the whole business is wide open."
Says Kittle at Bunchball: "You're following your own trail rather than following somebody else."
Bunchball was founded in 2005 by Rajat Paharia, now the chief product officer, to create social games for websites such as Facebook and MySpace. The sites couldn't then technically support such games, so Bunchball began creating gaming apps for television shows. It has built a fan community site for TV show "The Office," and a competition application for "Top Chef Texas," a cooking contestant show.
Bravo, the network behind Top Chef Texas, wanted to keep viewers engaged with the show even after their favorite contestant became eliminated. So Bunchball created a second-chance competition that lets fans complete online tasks and collect points to help their favorite chef get another chance on the show.
"It's always new; it's always exciting," says Kittle. "You're a mini-consultant for a variety of industries, all through the lens of making the customer experience more engaging and compelling. For me it's less about gamification than figuring out how to solve your problem in a way that your users love."
The abilities of gamification companies to recruit professionals like Ventrice, Kittle and others is essential to their success and so far they've been able to. "They're hiring developers from the big social game companies like Zynga and Playdom, so they have the chops to apply these mechanics," says Forrester Research analyst Elizabeth Shaw.
