Multiple myeloma is cancer
that starts in the plasma cells in bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft, spongy tissue found inside most bones. It helps make blood cells.
Plasma cells help your body fight infection by producing proteins called antibodies. With multiple myeloma, plasma cells grow out of control in the bone marrow and form tumors in the areas of solid bone. The growth of these bone tumors weakens the solid bones and also makes it harder for the bone marrow to make healthy blood cells and platelets
Plasma cell dyscrasia; Plasma cell myeloma; Malignant plasmacytoma; Plasmacytoma of bone; Myeloma - multiple
The exact cause of multiple myeloma is not clear. Past treatment with radiation therapy raises the risk of this type of cancer. Multiple myeloma mainly affects older adults.
Multiple myeloma most commonly causes a low red blood cell count (anemia
), which can lead to fatigue and shortness of breath. It can also cause low white blood cell count, which makes you more likely to get infections. Multiple myeloma also causes low platelet count, which can lead to abnormal bleeding.
As the cancer cells grow in the bone marrow, you may have bone or back pain
most often in the ribs or back.
If cancer grows in the spine bones, pressure on the nerves may result. This can lead to numbness
or weakness of the arms or legs.
Blood tests can help diagnose this disease. These tests include:
This list is not all-inclusive.
Bone x-rays
may show fractures or hollowed out areas of bone. If your doctor suspects this type of cancer, a bone marrow biopsy
will be performed.
Bone density testing may show bone loss.
People who have mild disease or in whom the diagnosis is not certain are often not treated. Instead they are closely watched. Some people have a slow-developing form of multiple myeloma (smoldering myeloma) that takes years to cause symptoms.
is usually used to treat multiple myeloma. It is most often given to prevent complications of multiple myeloma such as bone fractures and kidney damage.
Radiation therapy
may be done to relieve bone pain or treat a bone tumor.
Two types of bone marrow transplants
may be tried:
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Survival of multiple myeloma depends on the patient's age and the stage of disease. In some cases, the disease progresses very rapidly. In other cases, it takes years to worsen.
Chemotherapy and transplants rarely lead to a permanent cure.
Kidney failure
is a frequent complication. Others may include:
Call your doctor if you have multiple myeloma and you develop an infection, or numbness, loss of movement, or loss of sensation.

In a recent Twitter conversation with other folks supporting Macs we discussed ways to programmatically deploy printers. Larger environments that have a management solution like JAMF Software's Casper can take advantage of its ability to capture printer information and push to machines. Smaller environments, though, may only have Apple Remote Desktop or even nothing at all.
Because Mac OS X incorporates CUPS printing, administrators can utilize the
lpadmin and
lpoptions command line tools to programmatically configure new printers for users.
A basic command for configuring a new printer using
lpadmin looks something like this:
lpadmin -p "salesbw" -v "lpd://192.168.1.10/" -D "Sales B&W" -L "2nd floor print center" -P "/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP LaserJet 8150 Series.gz" -E
Several options follow the
lpadmin command:
-p= Printer name (queue name if sharing the printer)
-v= IP address or DNS name of the printer
-D= Description of the printer (appears in the Printers list)
-L= Location of the printer
-P= Path the the printer PPD file
-E= Enable this printer
The result of running this command in the Terminal application as an administrator looks like this:
Advanced printer models may have duplex options, multiple trays, additional memory or special features such as stapling or binding. Consult the printer's guide or its built-in web page for a list of these installed printer features.
After installing a test printer, use the
lpoptions command with the
-l option in the Terminal to "list" the feature names from the printer:
lpoptions -p "salesbw" -l
The result is usually a long list of features that may look something like:
HPOption_Tray4/Tray 4: True *False
HPOption_Tray5/Tray 5: True *False
HPOption_Duplexer/Duplex Unit: True *False
HPOption_Disk/Printer Disk: *None RAMDisk HardDisk
HPOption_Envelope_Feeder/Envelope Feeder: True *False
Each line is an option. The first line above displays the option for Tray 4 and shows the default setting is False. If the printer has the optional Tray 4 drawer installed then enable this option when running the lpadmin command by following it with:
-o HPOption_Tray4=True
Be sure to use the option name to the left of the slash not the friendly name with spaces after the slash.
To add the duplex option listed on the third line add:
-o HPOption_Duplexer=True
And to add the envelope feeder option listed on the fifth line add:
-o HPOption_Envelope_Feeder=True
Add as many options as necessary by stringing them together at the end of the lpadmin command:
lpadmin -p "salesbw" -v "lpd://192.168.1.10/" -D "Sales B&W" -L "2nd floor print center" -P "/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP LaserJet 8150 Series.gz" -E -o HPOption_Tray4=True -o HPOption_Duplexer=True -o HPOption_Envelope_Feeder=True
The result of running the
lpadmin command with the
-o options enables these available features when viewing the Print & Scan preferences:
With these features enabled for the printer in Print & Scan, they also appear as selectable items in all print dialogs:

Emanuel pride at Academica journey
Academica boss Pedro Emanuel feels his team can be proud of their efforts in the Europa League this term even though they are heading into their final Group B game knowing they cannot progress any further in the tournament.
Ahead of their clash with Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel, the Portuguese side - competing in their first European campaign since 1971-72 - are on five points and guaranteed to finish third in the pool.
Emanuel believes what his players have achieved in their five group games so far, which includes a 2-0 victory over Primera Division high-flyers Atletico Madrid, has exceeded expectation and deserves commendation.
``Not even the greatest of optimists would have expected to see Academica scoring in every game, making six goals and five points. Let us be proud,'' the coach said.
Emanuel is anticipating a tough encounter tomorrow but has stressed that Academica are firmly focused on bowing out of Europe for the season with a win.
``Hapoel have quality. They are (joint) top in the Israeli league and we expect an environment of great passion,'' he said.
``But we want to close with a victory.''
Those sentiments have been echoed by Academica goalkeeper Romuald Peiser.
Peiser said: ``We expect a tough match and a difficult environment.
``Sometimes it is the details that make the difference and we have to be mindful of that.
``We have made a good run, taking five points and giving a good picture of Academica.
``We want to close the group well, achieving eight points. We made this trip thinking about victory.''
Hapoel have just one point and are bottom of Group B, which is led by Atletico on 12 points, with Viktoria Plzen second on 10.

Backstory: I was asked this morning to teach a crash course in Premiere CS5 for the students in the film program at my school in the Introduction to Editing class who have been using FCP. They have to edit several projects using RED footage, and rather than spend a huge amount of time transcoding it to a format which FCP can work with, the prof has just decided to have his students use PPro CS5 (which is also on their editing computers). Since the prof doesn't use PPro, he's asked me to teach the class for him.
I created a very brief crash course powerpoint to assist me in giving them the fundamentals of the program, and supply them with a resource to refer back to as they work on their projects after class is over tomorrow morning. I created this for students who already have done some editing in an NLE, and so don't need to be taught WHAT everything is and HOW to cut footage and put together a timeline. This is just to introduce editors to PPro CS5 who are not already familiar with the PPro workflow.
Anyway, I wondered if some of you gurus would want to take a look at it and give me your feedback on what I've covered well, what I might have missed, and any other thoughts y'all had.
You can view a PDF of the document at www.bryan.edu/pprocs5 The viewer will bring it up embedded in the page at about 40-50%, so you'd be best off to click the download link and open it in Acrobat where you can go full size with it.
I just read through this course. It's quite good for a crash course.
My only suggestion for improvement is about the slide at the end that suggests resources for learning Premiere Pro. I'd recommend this page in addition to what you already have. Note that the free tutorials on Lynda.com are also on AdobeTV, since they are one of our partners, but there are also a lot of other video tutorials on our site.
Thanks, Todd... I'll definitely take note of those links!
Looked at your Tutorial and my comment is that you stepped right past actually EDITING ....and straight into FX
ie. Editing - selection and use of the part of the shot that tells the story. (Setting In and Out Points, targeting tracks etc...)
I agree with shooternz, but I thought that that was a deliberate choice to jump into things that were significantly different in Premiere Pro---since David said that these students already know editing in general.
That's correct, Todd... I did intentially skip past the "how-to" of editing because they already know how to do all that stuff pretty well.
If they have questions during class tomorrow on specific points, I can hit those pretty quickly and, since they already know it, it should stick better than this stuff, much of which they haven't learned yet (like codecs, CC, etc...)
Thanks for the input... I went ahead and added in three slides going over how to set in/out points in the source monitor and bring the footage to the timeline. I also added a slide at the very beginning (before media browser) which I'll use to show them the layout of the whole program.
Great presentation... I have cs3 and I even saved it for myself for when I upgrade to cs5 ( someday )...
Maybe say something about "saving" the project after it's been created..mention maybe that it will auto save at some point but that sometimes its good to save ( and maybe "save as" ) when doing something really taxing to the project...in case it gets unhappy and stops working ( crash)..
And maybe mention that sometimes it takes time for assets to conform and being patient and waiting for it to do that is the best practice...??
nice job u did
time to go out and eat some grass
dont know how cs5 on mac handles red, but you know how fcp uses the lower res mov files sometimes ?? on my pc with red I cant do that with cs3...dont know about cs5...I use redcine x to export red raw and THEN put into cs3...so I dont know how your workflow would be different ( how cs5 on mac handles stuff ) ...but if there are differences between fcp and cs5 on mac ( re: those mov files ) you might mention that ??
might even mention that there is a redcine x for mac at the red website...if they want to check out what it can do "prior" to import to cs5 ( I guess depending on project size and the platform's ( Hard drive size etc ) potential ( power etc ) and the final product
In other words, if utlimately going to DVD it might make sense to use redcine x to export the raw at a lower res for editing so a large project is faster in the editor ....know what I mean ?
Thanks for the input!
I actually taught hem REDCINE-X last week so that they could use it to export their files to an intermediate codec that FCP would understand, and preserve the new colorspace. Unfortunately these computers are so slow that the export process was gonna take nearly a week for all the files they need to work with, so the prof opted to swtich over to PPro midstream since it can handle the raw 4k and supports the new colorspace.
I didn't mention the saving thing... forgot about it; but the conforming issue did come up and we were able to talk about that in class!
The class went okay, I guess... I don't know what it is about students these days, but most of them (like all but one) weren't really paying very good attention and they were just sorta goofing off, talking amongst themselves, etc... made it really frustrating to teach this platform!
Oh well.

I have observed similar. If I can get just one student to ask a few questions, rather than give me a "whatever" attitude, I feel that I have complete success on my hands. Even amongst professionals, learning something that can benefit their bottom line, there is a ton of apathy afoot. At first, I thought that it was just be being a horrible teacher, but I'd observe the same thing in seminars, by some pretty dynamic people. Most of the attendees would spend the class time texting, or doing something else. As soon as the Q&A started, they'd all just shuffle out of the auditorium, and the same 20 folk would gather for the next hour, asking questions, while 100 would head to the nearest Starbucks to text some more.
If you got more than one to respond, you have done better, than I am usually able to.
Good luck,
I had a couple friends using fcp with red and I thought it automatically saw the mov file you choose and created the intermediate prores file depending on which of the mov files you chose to use...
But they were using powerful computers I think...interesting....
I think their fcp program on mac saw the color profile from the camera in the dir to left and under each "clip" folder is the little mov file "pointers"..
this doesnt work on pc so sorry I'm not much into the facts here...but they didnt have to use redcine x and it was fast for them
Interesting... I'll have to check into that and see if I can make that work. I wasn't aware of that workflow, and haven't tried it. However, the skill level of these students (and their prof) makes me worry about letting them work with proxies... I can't imagine trying to explain how a proxy works, especially with the difficulty they had in understanding the concept of color science!
Yeah, sorry I dont know more about it, but I use pc and cs3..
Just to re-iterate..I use redcine to knock 2k down to 1280x720..which my computer can handle...otherwise I would ( with good computer and cs5) just edit the raw file ....is weird but the raw is compressed and when I export from redcine using QT animation codec it makes LARGER files in byte count than the raw file...but my computer can handle the size (dimension) OK...so far its working OK for me..
With the FCP stuff that I've just seen in a casual way ( people showing me kinda quickly, like when I picked up the red camera from someone who had it and he had the HD SDI hooked up to a monitor and his computer ( mac with FCP on it ) ---this was a video guy in my film union.
Basically his FCP just automatically saw the red footage ( maybe due to a plug in from red ? ) and creates the prores file ( digital intermediate) and all that was automatic...he didnt do anything but drag the file he chose from the CF card to his computer
I could call him or write email if you want me to ask him more exactly what he does ?? How it works ?? Or put you two in touch with each other...?
Theres one other guy in NC ( owner of this place ... Bryan .... cinemanix.com ) who has red and used cs5 and FCP...that would know this stuff if you want me to ask him...
He is usually busy as heck though sooo, no guarantee he would answer quickly...
It just seemed to me that the FCP route for long projects with less powerful MAC computers was sorta easy to deal with..
and the export was easy too...from FCP...as the prores is already pointing at the raw file
Good luck experimenting etc
Thanks for the info... The owner of the RED camera we were using edits with FCP and mentioned something to me about a really easy editing workflow with the proxies, but he's not expounded. I'm sure he's referring to this same thing. I'll have to ask him about it. The biggest issue for the film department here is that the color space seemed to be all off, regardless of what they imported. Perhpas they just have an outdated version of FCP? That wouldn't surprise me at all... I had to get our IT department to update from 5.0.0 to 5.0.2 yesterday... now I've got to get them to go to 5.0.3 for us!
never ending ...upgrading and stuff...I just spent half a day deleting a bunch of test stuff and then defragmenting my drives..thats another constant in computer land I guess..
If you go here and clck on "all about red" and scroll down...youll see samples..maybe what you were looking at was the raw color space and not the broadcast color space ( rec709?
about rec 709 ...
anyway, I just wrote email to Bryan...asking him about workflow ....but if he's busy it could go into cyberspace beyond Pluto
Thanks for the links!
Bryan wrote back ( cinemanix.com ) .....said this -------
I am in San Fran this week going insane, but I will be back late Sunday.
The RED-FCP process is a delicate one. FCP hasn't kept up with the
rest of the world in terms of technology unfortunately.
Basically, you will have to log-transfer the RED R3D files into Final
Cut....FCP wants everything in the Apple ProRes format.
Let me get my head wrapped around this and I will get back to you
early next week.
will keep you posted
I'm providing this feedback as I view the presentation, without having gone over others' comments, so please forgive if there is any overlap.
First thing I noticed is the font. In some places, it is a bit hard to see clearly. I'd recommend a simple drop shadow to help your text stand out from the background image.
Next thing I noticed was on slide 32, on how to export. If the sequence isn't selected, the Export option will be grayed out. You show it highlighted in the image, but it may be important to say it in words as well, lest someone has the bin or effects pane selected and can't do what the slide says.
On slide 33 I see a text comment that I'd fundamentally disagree with. Choosing Match Sequence Settings will not ALWAYS give the best possible output, which I'd define as "visually lossless". That could mean using DPX files, Uncompressed AVI, or some other visually lossless codec like Lagarith, UT, Cineform, etc. Anything that is NOT visually lossless will NOT be the best possible output. A better phrasing might be, "will give the closet match to the source media, which may or may not be what you want."
That's it. Otherwise, very well done.

The Future of Wireless (CTIA Preview)
Published: May 03, 2012 at 2:32 pm
With more than 40,000 wireless industry professionals attending, CTIA Wireless 2012 will provide a compelling snapshot of fast-paced innovations in mobile commerce, mobile health and the wireless enterprise in New Orleans from May 8th through May 10th. Although a few pre-conference sessions are offered on May 7th, CTIA Exhibits will kick off with what's likely to be a jam-packed Keynote at 9:30AM on Tuesday, May 8th – with a top-notch celebrity headlining the launch.
That's as much as Rob Mesirow, Vice President of CTIA Operations, is willing to say as I spoke to him this week about the largest wireless conference in North America. With former President Clinton closing the event at the May 10th afternoon Keynote, imagine how the CTIA staff will try to top that at the kickoff.
Here are the highlights from my interview with Rob:
What is the focus for CTIA?
"CTIA 2012 is driven by three key things: 1) the Mobile Commerce engine, 2) Networking and 3) New Products," Mesirow noted. CTIA has evolved to improve how retail businesses, enterprise solutions and consumers' lives can be made more effective and more efficient with m-commerce technologies highlighted in special mobile zones.
Networking events focus on how CTIA can strengthen the attendees and exhibitors' abilities to accelerate business across the world (and have fun) with the VIP Hospitality Tent at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the Wireless Health Pavilion Reception and CTIA Unplugged featuring Third Eye Blind and Better than Ezra on Wednesday, May 9th.
New products and innovations are launching in a variety of venues which include the:
- Launch Pad Pavilion – ground-breaking innovations in mobile apps, ads, intelligent transportation and more;
- E-Tech Awards Showcase – emerging innovation awards for computer, enterprise and network technology;
- Big Idea Contest – showcasing products, applications and services that embody the transformative power of how wireless can change the way we live, work and play; and
- Telecom Council Innovations Showcase which identifies 24 early stage companies that embody innovation, momentum, viability and strong management.

Why Climate Change Denial May Not Be as Common as You Think
Scientists are such bad communicators, which is why the majority of the public doesn't believe in climate change despite scientific consensus.
Does this drum beat sound familiar? I can almost hear science communicators Randy Olson and Nancy Baron whispering it in my ear.
Well, Zoe Leviston and colleagues from CSIRO in Australia offer at least some relief. In work published this week in Nature Climate Change, Leviston and coauthors report evidence of a strong "false consensus effect" around climate change belief in Australia.
Essentially, people who believed that climate change was "not happening" grossly overestimated how prevalent that same opinion was in society, whereas those who did believe in climate change (the vast majority) underestimated how common their views were.

GWK is one of tourist places and destination in Bali, it is for artistic performances, exhibitions, and conferences as well as for sightseeing and relaxation. Dominating the park is Wisnu , a bust of a Hindu deity constructed from giants slabs of copper and brass. Representing the divine force responsible for the protection of the universe, the 22 meter Wisnu figure is a modern rendering of an ancient cultural tradition. The companion piece, Garuda , represent the giant bird which transports Wisnu, a symbol of both freedom and selfless devotion.

He entertained Reed students for 20 years in the classroom, beginning when the school first opened, using a simple philosophy: make history memorable by bringing it to life.
"To sum it up, when I taught history I did it in story form using personal anecdotes trying to make that person or event come alive," Horlacher said. "That image becomes very strong in the mind. Everyone likes a good story. I don't care if you're 95 or 4 years old, that story type approach kind of opens the door."
Horlacher, 79, has lived in Sparks for 30 years and has become an expert on Nevada history during his time spent in the state. Last Thursday, Horlacher partnered with the Sparks Heritage Museum and Cultural Center to present some terrifying tales from Nevada history.
Armed with a mess of props, Horlacher presented classic Nevada horror stories such as "Red" Wood being hanged in Hazen in 1905, Elizabeth Potts' hanging in Elko in 1890, Chief Winnemucca and his daughter being killed and the tragic tale of Paiute "Poker" Tom.
"For this show I will use a part of a pig's foot, but when it is cut off it looks like a finger and it is going to be Poker Tom's finger. I'll be able to reach in the pot and say 'here's his finger, would you eat this?'" Horlacher said. "Chinaman Au Quong Tai sold parts of Poker Tom to other indians as goat meat and when they found out they were not happy. Not only because Poker Tom had been murdered, but because the Chinaman fed them his parts. "When (Tai) was acquitted and came out of the courthouse the Indians were waiting. He turned around and said 'lock me up, they're going to get me.' And he was right, they got him."
Horlacher said part of the reason he enjoys Halloween storytelling stems back to his days at Reed High when he helped create the History Club for students. The year before he retired, the club had 180 members that Horlacher said became a status symbol. The club's base was ghost towns and Nevada history, but its highlight was Fright Night.
Horlacher arranged for students to load up on a bus, drive to a piece of land or town in Nevada with rich history and unleash frightening walks through cemeteries and vast deserts using a secret team of students. From popping up out of sunken grave sites to giants running with chain(less)saws in the pitch black, Horlacher tried to give his students a Halloween to remember.
"The kids I had in the history club for fright night had creative minds," he said. "I mean sometimes I would have to tell them to tone it down a little. We had fun, a lot of fun."
Though Thursday night's show did not feature any chainsaw-wielding theatrics, Horlacher said before the show he would likely have an audience that wouldn't be too frightened because they already knew him too well.
"Some of the people won't jump because some of them know me. Quite a few of them probably, but they come more to reminisce and converse with me," he said. "There is one eighth grader who is going to come with his dad and he said 'he won't scare me' and, well, I accept that as a personal challenge. He doesn't know about some of the things I have planned and I want him to sit here in front, and if he only jumps once that's good enough. That's all it takes."
Horlacher still speaks and teaches as a guest in schools around the community to deliver more Nevada history in story form. He will be speaking to students at Nancy Gomes Elementary next week about the Donner Party. He will then meet the kids at Donner Lake on their field trip to finish off his lesson.
"When I tell stories in the classrooms there should be a point, you know, like courage, ingenuity, ability to carry on in spite of adversity and how sometimes you have to do anything to survive," he said. "I have done the Donner Party for 40 years because it is a terrific story. There are a lot of elements in that story. Of course cannibalism has the Donner Party in a category by itself."
Horlacher said he enjoys focusing mostly on Nevada history because it is where he lives and he attempts to spread that message, in one way or another, to everybody he speaks to.
"I want to create interest in the museum and the city of Sparks because it does have a vibrant history that is unique, as opposed to Reno for example," he said. "And (the people) need to know it. Nevada history is taught a little in fourth and seventh grades, but because of all the other elements of the curriculum now, Nevada history gets so compressed or not done at all. And that's a shame because you should know about the area you live in, take pride in it and learn from it."

To paraphrase Dennis Green, The SEC are who we thought they were. No one in my circle of friends thought this would be ease. We all knew this was," big boy football" and we were at a disadvantage in talent depth to compete on a weekly bases. Mizzou has played in big games before but not week in and week out. Although as fans we did not have a say in joining the SEC most of us looked forward to it and are glad to be a part of the conference. As I told you last Summer we were not going to set the conference on fire. We would have to take our lumps but hopefully in time we can get up to speed.
Missouri and Texas A&M will be just fine — yes, in football — in the Southeastern Conference long-term. Both programs entered the league on more solid ground than did Arkansas or South Carolina back in 1992. We've written/said that many times here at MrSEC.com and on radio. Just wanted to float it out there again before fans of both schools started firing off emails about this post.
While we see bright days for both programs ahead, MU and A&M supporters are still learning a couple of things about the new league they've joined. All summer we heard that their teams weren't coming from the high school ranks and that was true. The Big XII has been the second-best conference of the BCS era. Still, it hasn't equaled the SEC in terms of success. That's because the SEC is defense-first, tougher and strong from one end to the other:
1. Defense
On Saturday, Florida and LSU battered each other for 60 minutes. The first half belonged to the Tigers, but as usual — and thanks in part to some more injuries at LSU — the second half belonged to Will Muschamp's Gators. As we tweeted Saturday — follow us here — America was probably yawning during the low-scoring affair, but the smashmouth brand of ball being displayed is exactly why Mike Slive's conference continues to win BCS titles.
Good defense beats good offense. (Ask a Georgia fan about that one today.) And the SEC has good defenses. Moan, groan and scream that it's bad offense, not good defense, if you like… but that's what fans from Ohio State to Oklahoma to Texas to Oregon have said the past few years, too:
2007 BCS title game: Ohio State enters averaging 36.3 points per game. Florida beats them 41-14.
2008 BCS title game: Ohio State enters averaging 32.0 points per game. LSU beats them 38-24.
2009 BCS title game: Oklahoma enters averaging a ridiculous 54.0 points per game. Florida beats them 24-14.
2010 BCS title game: Texas enters averaging 40.6 points per game. Alabama beats them 37-21.
2011 BCS title game: Oregon enters averaging 49.3 points per game. Auburn beats them 22-19.
Just from the fans and radio hosts and contacts this writer talked to from Missouri and Texas in the preseason, I really believe a lot of Aggie and Tiger fans thought, "Yeah, yeah, better defense… we know" No. It's much better defense.
If one of them makes it, Oregon or West Virginia will learn that fact in January's BCS Championship Game. Missouri and Texas A&M fans are seeing it up close already. And if they're honest, I bet they'll admit the top o' the line defenses in the SEC are a little bit better than they even expected.
2. Attrition
Whether it's Kentucky playing 22 freshmen already, Missouri losing one O-lineman after another as well as its star quarterback, or LSU losing bodies like a bad funeral home… the SEC is a meat grinder league.
Mizzou has already banged heads with Georgia and South Carolina, lost to Vanderbilt — to learn that there are no gimmes in the SEC — and now hobbled and broken they'll get the joy of hosting top-ranked bruiser, Alabama, this weekend in Columbia. Texas A&M dropped it's first SEC game to Florida, thumped downtrodden Arkansas, but then got its own lesson in the "no-layups league" with a 30-27 nailbiter over an Ole Miss team picked to finish dead last in the SEC West.
The Aggies will face Louisiana Tech on Saturday, but then starts a run of LSU, Auburn, Mississippi State and Alabama. They should expect a few bumps, contusions, sprains and breaks during that run. It comes with the SEC territory.
3. Change Comes Quickly
Doing radio shows across America this summer, I grew very tired of the many variations of this one question that I kept hearing: "Will the SEC East ever be good again?" Every time I heard that — from Missouri folks, Texas people, or persons from elsewhere I simply thought to myself: "Have you kept up with SEC history?"
Yes, the West Division was expected to be tougher than the East this year. But as we've written and as we told those radio hosts, things are pretty darn cyclical in the Southeastern Conference. Well, it seems the cycle's already changed again. Thanks to Bobby Petrino's motorcycle, attrition in Baton Rouge, Steve Spurrier's amazing work in Columbia, and a power run game at Florida, the SEC East is — for now — looking tougher than the big, bad SEC West.
Long-time SEC fans aren't surprised. The 1990s leaned heavily to the East with Florida and Tennessee practically owning the league. The 2000s saw some shifts back and forth. The last couple of years have been West-heavy, but that's already changing again.
Entering the season, Missouri was expected to have the easier first season due to their division placement. Now it looks like Texas A&M might have a slightly – slightly — easier schedule. The lesson? If you don't like the balance of power in the SEC today… give it a year. It'll change.
This isn't to suggest Missouri and Texas A&M fans didn't respect their new league or that their teams won't both reach bowl games this season. But if they're honest, I'm guessing they'll tell you that some things are already a little tougher than expected.

The 1.7-million-year-old Acheulean hand axes were some of the first stone tools. Over the next million years, these chunky teardrop-shaped rocks became widely used before being replaced by finer, more precise flint tips. But how our ancestors' hands evolved into a shape that could make such tools is a bit of a mystery.
Before the hand axes appeared, our ancestors had primitive wrists: good for hanging from branches, but too weak to grasp and handle small objects with much force. And no hand bones had been found to fill the gap between 1.7 million years ago and 800,000 years ago – by which time humans had developed the hands we have today. Now, a new fossil is helping bridge that gap.
In 2010, a team led by Fredrick Kyalo Manthi of the National Museums of Kenya discovered an intriguing bone in the north of the country. Carol Ward of the University of Missouri and colleagues identified it as a third metacarpal, the long bone in the palm between the middle finger and the wrist.
Like modern human metacarpals, it has a small lump at its base – the styloid. This projection helps stabilise the wrist when the hand is gripping small objects between the thumb and fingers. Isotope dating revealed the bone to be about 1.4 million years old. It is likely to have belonged to Homo erectus.

DEVON, Alta. -- St. Cloud, Minn.-based Anderson Trucking Service (ATS) moved into the Alberta trucking market last month with the acquisition of Waylon Transport.
ATS said it eyed Waylon Transport as a good fit because of its proximity to roadways, rail yards and the Edmonton International Airport. Waylon Transport has established itself as an international and domestic transport provider while also serving the needs of Alberta's oilfield. It runs 22 trucks and 40 trailers as well as a freight brokerage business.
"We are excited about the service possibilities for our customers that can be provided by the combined efforts of Waylon and ATS, and are pleased to welcome Waylon to the Anderson Family of Companies," announced Brent Anderson, vice-president of heavy haul and wind energy services with ATS.
Blaine Campbell, general manager, added: "I am very excited about the new and expanding path the company is taking, and am looking forward to the upcoming opportunities and integration of the companies while maintaining Waylon's identity and the high level of service we are known for."
Dave Iwanicka, founder of Waylon Transport said "It will be rewarding for me to see that Waylon Transport will continue to grow with the Anderson group."

Malaysia Airlines Wins 'World's Leading Airline To Asia' Award for The 2nd Year Running
Thursday, 12 January 2012, Subang – Malaysia Airlines has been named 'World's Leading Airline to Asia 2011' by the World Travel Awards for the second year running. The Award to the national airline, as voted by travel professionals worldwide, was presented at a gala event yesterday evening held in Doha, Qatar. The ceremony marked the culmination of a year-long search for the very best travel and tourism brands in the world, including a head-to-head competition amongst earlier announced World Travel Awards' regional winners for the coveted 'world-level' accolade.
Dubbed the 'Oscars of the travel industry', the World Travel Awards is an annual event that began in 1993. It serves to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the global travel and tourism industry.
For the World Travel Awards programme in 2011, a phenomenal 213,000 industry professionals participated in the online voting process that is strictly monitored and independently audited. In the 'World's Leading Airline to Asia' category, Malaysia Airlines was up against seven other major airlines including Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways International and Cathay Pacific Airways.
Earlier, Malaysia Airlines had been a big winner at the Asia and Australasia regional awards competition held in Bangkok at the end of September. It won recognition as 'Asia's Leading Airline 2011' and 'Asia's Leading Airline Lounge 2011' for the Golden Lounge at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
In the previous year, Malaysia Airlines had been named 'Asia's Leading Airline 2010' and 'Asia's Leading Airline Business Class 2010' apart from winning the coveted 'World's Leading Airline to Asia 2010' honour.
Receiving the 'World's Leading Airline to Asia 2011' award for Malaysia Airlines at the Doha ceremony yesterday was Head of Customer Experience, Dato' Salleh Ahmad Tabrani. He was accompanied on-stage by a happy Malaysia Airlines team of cabin crew, airport operations and ramp services.
Commenting on the win, Dato' Salleh said, "The international recognition is a great honour for the whole Malaysia Airlines team that consistently does its best to serve our guests. The win is a timely morale booster for our team as we prepare to bring our service delivery and customer experience level up to a higher benchmark as part of making Malaysia Airlines the Preferred Premium Carrier."
For Malaysia Airlines' Group Chief Executive Officer, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, the recognition was an important element in the airline's initiatives to 'win back customers' as outlined in the recent Malaysia Airlines' Business Plan.
"This year, we look forward to the delivery of 23 new aircraft, equipped with state-of-the-art passenger amenities, to boost our brand name. Winning the 'World's Leading Airline to Asia' award will certainly help us as we work hard to win back the loyalty of customers, especially those in Malaysia, and convince them of the superior value of our enhanced products and services", said Ahmad Jauhari.

Starting preschool
Here's the best ways to settle tummies when littlies are starting daycare for the first time. more
If you like crafting and DIY, then try making your own macro lens for your iPhone, iPad or even your regular phone. It's not hard and you'll have the satisfaction of having made one yourself. Corresponding images of the step by step instructions are below.
Gather your supplies.
Begin by covering the camera lens and corner of your phone with the cling film.
Pull apart the lens or magnifying glass and isolate the glass.
Clean the lens and set aside for later.
Cut your Sugru from the packet.
Using about half of a small packet of sugru, roll a couple of "spaghetti" strings. This is likely to stain, so roll on the baking paper and protect your surface area.
Lay your lens onto your string of Sugru and roll the lens along the string to enclose it.
Use your scissors to cut the excess Sugru. You should now have a lens enclosed in Sugru.
Now position your magnifier over the camera lens. Gently press the Sugru to ensure a tight fit around the glass and optimum positioning.
Turn your phone over and attach another spaghetti strand as pictured in the below images.
Roll the remaining sugru into a ball and press flat. Fill in the corner. Double check your lens position and fit of the lens corner onto the phone.
Once you are happy with the fit of the lens corner, remove the cling film and the lens from your phone and leave to cure for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, remove the cling film from the inside of your lens corner.
Clean lens to remove oily residue from the Sugru.
Fit to phone.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
Two bills were introduced in April that could restore rights to a segment of Maine's unorganized territories residents, rights they lost to the 2008 makeover of the state's wind power siting laws.
Wind turbines are seen on Mars Hill Mountain in 2007. Maine Audubon and the Natural Resources Council of Maine are resisting bills that would give all Mainers a chance to participate fully in the process of siting wind power projects, a reader says.
2007 File Photo/The Associated Press
More than 99 percent of Mainers, in organized and unorganized areas, have input into the siting of wind power projects in their communities, how they're sited or even whether they're sited. Such input used to be available to 100 percent of Mainers.
At a hearing April 22, it was disappointing to hear two of the state's largest environmental groups speak out against fairness for all citizens, urging legislators to continue the denial of our rights.
The Natural Resources Council of Maine and Maine Audubon were part of the process that put constraints on our community members, and here they were, lobbying to make sure that the constraints stay in place.
At issue is whether these rural Mainers can participate in siting matters prior to the permitting phase of wind developments.
Almost every Mainer has this right, including most of the staff, board and membership of these two groups. They just don't want us to have it, fearing it might slow their push for more mountaintop wind development.
Instead, they want us to be limited to input only in a permitting hearing, a drastically reduced level of participation.
A permitting hearing is not a forum for the broader discussion of a community's future. Most Mainers have the right to influence wind siting in their communities long before it reaches this final permitting phase. Five years ago, it was a basic right that every Mainer enjoyed.
The Natural Resources Council and Maine Audubon appear ready to work hard to keep some rural Mainers from having meaningful input into wind matters in their own communities. That's disappointing. I expect that from corporate wind interests, not the Natural Resources Council and Maine Audubon.

Story spreads stereotypes of reasons for immigration
I applaud the Press Herald for covering the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project's Celesoiree celebration April 12 and for highlighting the experiences of immigrants in Maine.
However, I am disappointed and upset at your article that appeared in the newspaper of April 21 ("Society Notebook: Here and after"). This article falsely described my move to Maine as my having "fled Namibia."
I did not "flee" Namibia. This statement is offensive to me and my home country, Namibia, which has enjoyed peace and political stability since 1990.
Aside from being displaced by wars, Africans migrate to the USA for many reasons. I came to Maine to be with my wife, Shayna, who I met and worked with in Namibia.
I am by no means suggesting that being labeled a refugee is a bad thing. My point in short is: It's wrong for the reporter to stereotype and consequently make a wrong assumption.
Inaccurate and false reporting like this reinforces negative ideas that the entire African continent is a war zone. It is not!
Many African immigrants do hail from war-torn lands, and the African community is grateful that Maine has opened its doors to those who cannot return home.
I want the conflicts to end, and peace and prosperity to reign in war-torn countries. This will not come about unless the world understands it is possible. Africa is also a continent of hope and opportunity.

Editor's Note: Feb. 23 to March 1 is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.
Sitting down to a family dinner is not a Norman Rockwell moment for many people who suffer from eating disorders. According to the National Eating Disorder Association, constant discussions by parents on dieting, food fetishes or the desire to lose weight might leave a negative influence on your teen or child's body image.
"Eating disorders are complicated and vexing problems and we don't exactly understand the pathophysiology of them," Dr. Aaron Krasner, a practicing psychiatrist and director of the Adolescent Transitional Living Program at Silver Hill Hospital in Connecticut told Forbes magazine.
In the article, author Dr. Robert Glatter, M.D., says Krasner early hypotheses of the pathogenesis of eating disorders are related to difficulties between parents as it pertains to "mothers milk": giving love, receiving love, sharing in food, sharing in food-related celebrations." He says there is environmental component with eating disorders. Krasner offers five constructive support and suggestions describing how parents might promote a positive body image in teens and children:
1. Try to avoid criticizing yourself or others about weight or shape in front of your children.
2. Avoid talking negatively about food – "I can't eat potatoes because they're carbs" or "That cake will go straight to my thighs." It's more important to teach the importance of healthy eating and exercise without references to weight.
3. Compliment children on their talents and accomplishments – a little praise goes a long way, especially when it's well deserved
4. Let your teens and children know that weight gain and changes to body shape are a natural part of the growing process.
5. Have a discussion with your children about their use of social media and what they view in movies and on TV. Only about 5% of American women have the body type that is portrayed in advertising as the ideal size and shape for women.

You will see an additional shipping charge added to your order of either $10, $20 or $25.
The fee assessed is based upon the size of the product. Oversize items are excluded from shipping promotions.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
The only bad thing is that it really irritates your neck.
The skirt is very long but the dress is just gorgeous !
The price of this dress is too much for poor quality. The stitch work is pretty bad. Mine had loose stitches and the seam on one side wasn't sewn well. Also, this dress is quite long. Too long if you are 5'6 or under and want to wear flats.
After taking my measurements, it recommended I get a 2X. I went with my instincts and bought an XL instead (my normal size) and it fit like it was made for me, if I were 3 inches taller. I absolutely love it and it was worth every penny! Fast shipping, easy order, I am super happy.
This costume is very cute and decently made for a costume but surprisingly it was a little big on me and it is at least 4 inches too long which is odd because I am by no means short at 5'8". Hopefully this was just my costume (size XL) and not all of them that are purchased as I am going to have to get it hemmed just to take my son trick or treating!
Looks exactly like the picture. Super Adorable. The only Snow white Costume I could find with a long skirt on it that I liked.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
This is a very cute Snow White dress! I got it for our storybook character day at work. It is simple but still looks great. The bow is a little small and looks a little silly and the dress it itchy and wrinkles pretty easily...but it IS a costume, so it's pretty good for what it is.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
I love this costume. Its perfect and fits great! I'm 5"2 and I had to get this hemmed because its very long. (Good if you're tall) but at least they did not cheap out when they made it.
PS: The picture is true to the costume.

Best TVsUpdated April 21, 2014 9:49 AM PDT
We review a lot of TVs here at CNET, but the list below represents only the best. It collects our most highly recommended models arranged in order of overall score, regardless of type, technology, brand, or size. These cumulative ratings indicate which TVs scored highest considering the major areas we rate: design, features, picture quality, and value. We don't expect this list to be enough for everyone, however, so we've also created supplemental lists broken down by technology type, screen size, and picture quality. Choose from the lists to the left according to which criteria matter most to you.
On the lists that aren't based on size, the prices represent just one size in the series. Click through to the "Series information" section of the reviews to see other sizes.
Curious how the ratings are devised? Here's an explanation of how we rate TVs, and here's a look at our thorough, labs-based test procedure.

What are Swag Bucks?
What if I told you that you could earn free gift cards and prizes just by searching the web?
You probably wouldn't believe me, right? A skeptic by nature myself, Swag Bucks sounded too good to be true. But believe it or not, I have earned many prizes, including Amazon Gift Cards, just by giving Swag Bucks a shot.
The concept is very simple. Swag Bucks is a search and win site. Use it for all your online searches, with results powered by Ask.com and Google. You will periodically earn "digital dollars" as you search the web, which you can then redeem for prizes. The results are never tracked, and you will never be spammed. I have personally enjoyed Swag Bucks for several months, so I can wholeheartedly recommend it!
So how do Swag Bucks save you money? The best way is by redeeming those digital dollars for gift cards. For example, a $5.00 Amazon Gift Card costs only 450 Swag Bucks, and you can earn an unlimited amount! Since you can find practically anything on Amazon, this is a great way to stretch your gift budget, or perhaps buy something fun for yourself.
If you would prefer to just earn cash, Swag Bucks can do that too! Trade in 700 Swag Bucks to receive $5.00 via Pay Pal. You can even use Swag Bucks to plant a tree.
You can earn those Swag Bucks faster by inviting your friends to join, trading in old cell phones, sending in prize photos or videos, and more! Before long, you will be racking up those bucks and shopping the Swag store.

Now Available: New KEEPS Energy Management Toolkits
New KEEPS Energy Management Toolkits for Step 3 and Step 7 of the Energy Management Process
To facilitate Kentucky school districts through the seven-step energy management process, KEEPS recently released new KEEPS Energy Management Toolkits. The new toolkits include presentations and supporting documents for Step 3 of the energy management process - Set Performance Goals and Step 7 - Recognize Achievements. They are available to download in the KEEPS Training System and KEEPS Toolkit Library tabs on the KEEPS website, www.kppc.org/KEEPS.
Set Performance Goals
In the context of energy management, setting a performance goal helps all involved in the district's energy management program understand how much less energy the district wants to consume and where the district currently stands with respect to achieving that goal. Measuring progress toward the goal demonstrates the success of the school district's energy management program and the efforts of the district's energy management team. Also, it lays the foundation as the district begins work on Step 4 of the energy management process - Create an Action Plan.
View the Step 3 KEEPS Energy Management Toolkits.
Recognize Achievements
Recognizing and rewarding positive behaviors sustains momentum and support for the district's energy management program and instills a sense of pride and ownership in the program among district administrators, faculty, staff and students. Further, recognition and awards demonstrate the appreciation of the time, effort and energy everyone puts into helping the district reach its energy performance goal and validates the program to district stakeholders.
KEEPS Stewardship Award
In addition to creating their own opportunities for recognizing achievements, school districts are encouraged to identify and pursue opportunities for external recognition. The KEEPS Stewardship Award is one of three awards available through the KEEPS Awards Program and recognizes school districts that complete Step 1 of the energy management process - Make the Commitment.
View the Step 7 KEEPS Energy Management Toolkits.
Coming Soon: Toolkits for Step 2 - Assess Performance & Opportunities
KEEPS engineers and energy managers work closely with school district energy managers and energy teams to assess the energy performance of school buildings in each district. Efforts are currently underway to make the assessment tools that KEEPS uses to generate energy efficiency assessment reports available online as part of the KEEPS Training System. Watch future issues of KEEPS Moving Forward, the KEEPS website, the KEEPS Facebook page and special training announcements for information about when these materials become available.

That's a play on my initials - SKS.
Socks are my favorite since there's little to do after they're finished. Sweaters? I love 'em but they have to be put together.
Photography is another passion. Camera collecting seems to be almost as addicting to me as buying sock yarn. I think I need a bigger house - wait! We bought another one! Now I have two places to stash stuff.
