Tourette syndrome (TS) is a chronic disorder of the nervous system. It isa type of tic disorders. TS is known by its motor and vocal tics. These tics are rapid, involuntary movements or sounds that occur repeatedly.
Many people with TS also have one or more of the following problems:
- Obsessions
- Compulsions and ritualistic behaviors
- Attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity (ADD or ADHD)
- Learning disabilities
- Difficulties with impulse control
- Sleep disorders
The exact cause of TS is unknown. However, brain chemicals, called dopamine and serotonin are most likely involved.
There may be a genetic link to TS, although some have no known family history.
Risk Factors
Males are three to four times more likely to be affected. Other factors that may increase your risk of TS include:
- Family history of TS
- Having other tic disorders
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Tics are the main symptoms of TS. To be TS, the tics must be:
- Both motor and vocal tics
- Be present for more than one year
- Start before age 18
Tics range from mild-to-severe. They can occur suddenly and vary in the amount of time that they last. Tics may temporarily decrease with concentration or distraction. During times of stress, they may occur more often.
The tics are often increased with stress and tension. Concentration or distraction may decrease them. Tics are divided into motor and vocal. The following are some common examples:
- Motor tics
- Simple—eye blinking, head jerking, arm or shoulder shrugging
- Complex—jumping, smelling, touching things or other people, twirling around
- Vocal tics
- Simple—throat clearing, coughing, sniffing, grunting, yelping, barking
- Complex—saying words or phrases that do not make sense in a given situation, saying obscene or socially unacceptable words—called coprolalia
While tics may occur throughout life, butsymptoms may improve during later teens years.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your doctor may order tests to rule out other medical conditions as the cause of the tics. Test may include MRI, CT scan, EEG,or blood tests.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Education and therapy are often parts of the treatment plan. In some cases, medicine may be needed.
Education and Therapy
Learning about TS is a very important part of treatment. Education can also be helpful for your family, friends, and coworkers.
Therapy can also help you develop habits to help manage tics or other related symptoms. Types of therapy include:
- Behavior therapy can help people with TS learn to substitute their tics with other movements or sounds that are more acceptable.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy can help reduce obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
- Psychotherapy can help people with TS and their families cope with the disorder.
In addition, relaxation, biofeedback, and exercise can reduce help to reduce stress.
Medication is not required in most cases. No certain medication works in all people with TS. If a doctor prescribes medication, there are usually strong side effects.
Medications that may be prescribed include:
- Antipsychotics—To help control tics
- Certain antidepressants known as selective seratonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)—To manage related obsessive-compulsive habits
- Stimulants or medication used to treat high blood pressure—To manage symtoms related to ADD and ADHD
There is no known way to prevent TS.

Legumes of Arizona
March 2012
Legumes include some 18,000 species - a major division of the world's botany, and a family of plants including alfalfa, soybeans, edible peas and beans. They're used as landscape plants and for medicine, shade, timber, firewood and windbreaks.
March, 2012 brings a chance to consider their role in art, with an exhibit of legume illustrations in the visitor center art gallery at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. The University of Arizona's Desert Legume Program is developing a botanical reference guide to Arizona members of the Fabaceae family: "Legumes of Arizona: An Illustrated Flora and Reference."
Meet the artists at their gallery opening reception March 3, Saturday, from 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Illustrations produced for the project are accurate scientific representations of plants, and also unique works of art, created by illustrators from Phoenix and Tucson. "Senna lindheimeriana" by Chris Bondante is shown at right; below and at left is an illustration of "Acacia salicina" by John Gerdes.
In addition to completed drawings the month-long exhibit will include the illustrators' work-in-progress samples, showing various stages of production. Daily admission to the Arboretum of $9 for adults, $4.50 for ages 5-12 includes the gallery, and this exhibit remains on display through March 31 during daytime business hours from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
"This is a unique opportunity to view original illustrations before they are published, and learn about the scientific illustration process," said Kirsten Lake, a curator of the exhibit and Project Coordinator for Legumes of Arizona and the UA Herbarium in Tucson."
When complete, the book will include descriptions of plants, distribution statements and distribution maps. What makes the project special is that we will also include information on ethnobotany, potential uses and cultivation. We want this book to serve as a reference for a broad audience, not just botanists. Cultivation information will allow for people to plan landscaping projects. Information on past and present uses can serve as a starting point for people who are exploring new uses.
Illustrations are a key part of the book. They can be used as a tool for identification and they provide readers with a visual representation of unique characteristics of species. In order to provide the necessary detail for this type of illustration, students must carefully study the plant, often using microscopes to look for important detail. However, the drawings are not merely mechanical renderings of plant anatomy. They also represent unique works of art. An artist's unique style and perspective is reflected in their work. In addition to accuracy, artists also strive to show the beauty of the plant. This is reflected in the layout of stem, fruit, and flower, and the artists use of lines. Read more about Legumes of Arizona: An Illustrated Flora and Reference
Lake said prints may be available for purchase. To inquire about prices or if you have questions about the project, please contact Kirsten Lake via email to email@example.com
Boyce Thompson Arboretum is located at Highway 60 milepost #223, just three miles west of the town of Superior - a drive of about one hour east of Phoenix or two hours from Tucson (take Oracle Road North to Highway 79 past Florence to Highway 60, then East for another 12 miles). Monthly exhibits may be seen at our Visitor Center gallery daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during March and April. Spring-Summer hours resume in September. The Arboretum is an Arizona State Park and daily admission must be paid to enter the Visitor Center where the gallery is found. Admission is $7.50 for adults and $3 for ages 5-12. Annual memberships at the Arboretum begin at $45, and include a year's access, guest passes for your friends and family, along with many other benefits. A membership may be purchased in the gift shop on the day of your visit.

Steak Stroganoff
A short while back, youngerSon said, "I'd like stroganoff for dinner sometime this week." I thought as usual he wanted my easy version that is stroganoff in name only, and since I happened to have a package of defrosted ground beef in the fridge, I banged out a batch that very evening and called everyone down to the table. YoungerSon looked at his plate then looked at me with a confused expression. Seems that I missed one majorly important word in his request ... the exact words were "steak stroganoff."
Oopsie. Majorly fail on my part.
So tonight I made steak stroganoff. This version takes a little more work and a little more time, but is truly worth it.
The cooking is in several parts. To avoid overcooking the steak slices, make sure they are still very pink when you remove them from the skillet; they will finish cooking when returned to the sauce.
The skillet is wiped clean after cooking the steak slices, but left "dirty" in order for the mushrooms to pick up flavor left behind. Additional oil is not needed to cook the 'shrooms. Just poke 'em every so often with a spatula until they reduce and start to brown.
YoungerSon had two large servings, then packed the leftovers to take to his summer job tomorrow. So I assume this time I majorly passed.
Steak Stroganoff
Based on a recipe from Food Network
Yield: 4-5 servings
1 (12 oz.) bag wide egg noodles
1 Tbl. olive oil
2 shoulder steaks (about 1 pound), sliced into thin strips
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/8 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1Tbl. unsalted margarine (or additional olive oil)
8 ozs. mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 Tbl. tomato paste
1 Tbl. corn starch
2 cups beef broth, low-sodium preferred
1/4 cup parve (non-dairy) sour cream or parve cream cheese
1 Tbl. fresh lemon juice
1/8 loosely packed cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
Cook egg noodles in salted boiling water 7 minutes or according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add olive oil, wait ten seconds, then add sliced steak in a single layer (make in two batches if your skillet isn't large enough). Season steak with the salt and pepper. Let sit without disturbing for 1 to 2 minutes or until bottom is seared and top edges of the slices start to brown. Carefully flip steak slices and sear for only another 30 seconds (the steak will still be be mostly pink and nowhere near done!). Transfer to a covered dish and set aside.
Wipe out remaining grease, if any, then return skillet to the burner. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms reduce and start to brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to the covered dish containing the steak slices and set aside.
Heat margarine (or the additional olive oil) and add the onion slices. Cook, stirring often, until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, another minute. Whisk the corn starch into the beef broth and slowly stir broth mixture into the onion mixture. Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat, then whisk in the parve sour cream (or cream cheese) and lemon juice. If noodles haven't finished cooking, cover the sauce and set aside.
When the noodles are done, add the beef, mushrooms and any accumulated juices to the sauce. Top with parsley, then place over medium heat until barely simmering.
Drain noodles, then divide among 4-5 pasta bowls. Ladle stroganoff over noodles and serve.

Organisational Coaching Solutions (OCS)
I am a young Business Coach with 10 years experience coaching organisations and am looking to establish a brand identity with my new and existing Clients as I go out on my own.
Basically - I work with the people in these organisations to effect change for better business outcomes.
Everything that I do is based around personality and word of mouth, so I am looking for a strong brand identity to support my personality and growing the business.
I travel around the world coaching various Organisations and Executives.
My target audience are Boards, CEOs and Managers of organisations big and small. While most people know me personally, I want these people to see a brand identity associated with doing business with me.
I work with a lot of Professionals (CEOs and Managers) and Business Owners who are looking for an edge through coaching the best out of their people.
I coach organisations through Strategy, Change Management, Performance Management, Executive Coaching and Starting-up.
I am going to be targeting younger Business Owners and start-ups so the logo needs to be funky without being cartoony.
I need a distinctive logo that Clients I work with, know it is me and it is something I have sent them, regardless of whether I have my name or company name on it.
I am looking for a logo that best represents the company name 'Organisational Coaching Solutions'.
The key themes for me are Effecting Change, People and Strategy.
While I am open to new ideas in terms of logo design...
1. No cartoons - I want it to be professional, funky and current not childlike or stodgy
2. Don't want it to be too technical or busy
3. I would prefer the business name not integrated into the logo - but I am open to ideas so am not ruling it out completely

Please feel free to experiment with colours
Please do not use a stock image or clip-art in the logo thanks.

And we have been hard at work since my last post. Demand for Postgres has been overwhelming. I said in my first blog, we will only be limited by capacity, not opportunity. Upon reflection, that seems like an incredible grasp of the obvious.
We were very well received at the MySQL User's Group meeting in Oracle's NYC Headquarters. If you missed it, you can watch the event here. They even gave away some cool Sun Microsystems Logo collector's items!
For those J2EE, Red Hat, and JBoss fans in the crowd, EnterpriseDB helped push their ISV Certifications over the 500-count mark. Further solidifying that Postgres is the database of choice for Java developers.
Today, EnterpriseDB and NTT announced the open source project: Postgres-XC (eXtensible cluster). Learn more about it by attending our very own Mason Sharp's and NTT Kiochi Suzuki's joint technical session at the Postgres Conference 2010 on Friday, May 21 at 4:30 p.m. ET. I am heading up to the conference early tomorrow morning just in time to help host the PGCon 2010 Major Social Event! Please join us if you are in Ottawa.

For the sauce: Put all of the ingredients into a bowl and toss to combine.
For the fritters: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, turmeric and ground ginger. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil and whisk in the beer. Set aside in a warm place because, like a bread dough, it will puff up slightly.
Put the cauliflower in a medium-size bowl and use a small strainer to sprinkle it with an even layer of the paprika. Toss to coat.
In a large pot, over medium heat, add the remaining 6 cups of canola oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
Prepare a baking sheet fitted with paper towels or a kitchen towel to drain the florets as they come out of the oil. Stir the batter slightly. To test the consistency of the batter and the temperature of the oil, put a couple of pieces of cauliflower on a slotted spoon or spider (Chef's Note: Alternatively, use your fingers), and submerge them into the batter. It should coat the pieces lightly. (Chef's Note: If the batter is too thick, add a little water to thin it out. If the batter is too thin, sift and whisk in a little more flour.)
Test 1 piece of cauliflower to check for seasoning. Drain the excess batter and lower the cauliflower bite into the oil. It should bubble slightly and the cauliflower should gradually rise to the surface. Fry until golden brown on all sides and transfer the piece to a kitchen towel. Season with salt and, when cool enough, taste. Season the remaining uncooked cauliflower with salt, if desired, prior to dredging in the batter. Fry the cauliflower in small batches and drain on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt, if desired, and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with the Cilantro-Ginger Sauce and serve immediately.

Are you perennially shocked by Christmas decorations hanging in stores before Halloween? Do you rail against holiday tunes on the radio before Thanksgiving? If you like to make holiday gifts, and if you like the gifts you make to be of the edible variety, you will see those early holiday displays as a personal reminder.
Are you perennially shocked by Christmas decorations hanging in stores before Halloween? Do you rail against holiday tunes on the radio before Thanksgiving? If you like to make holiday gifts, and if you like the gifts you make to be of the edible variety, you will see those early holiday displays as a personal reminder.
There are two reasons to start cooking, stat. First, many holiday gifts (liqueurs, extracts, flavored vinegars and, don't laugh, fruitcakes) need several weeks for flavors to mellow. Second, making gifts ahead of time lessens stress closer to the holiday.
When looking for recipes to make as gifts, keep in mind:
They should not require refrigeration. In the run-up to the holidays, you will need your refrigerator for more important stuff. Like eggnog. They should have a long shelf life. What's the point of making a recipe that says "will keep for up to five days"? It essentially requires that you hand a friend your gift and stand there while he eats it. They should be simple. Holidays are complicated enough.
When packaging your gifts, use clean jars and bottles with tight-fitting lids. Canning jars in sizes as small as 4 ounces are sold at the supermarket. Affordable bottles, tins and other packaging can be found online; one source is specialtybottles.com (206-382-1100).
Yield: 2 cups or four 4-ounce bottles
Note: To use a 1.75-liter jug of rum, add at least ¼ pound vanilla beans. "Grade B" or "splits and cuts" are fine — and cheaper.
8 (6- to 8-inch) vanilla beans, or more
2 cups gold rum
Using a small, sharp knife, cut vanilla beans in half lengthwise. Place all pieces in a large, clean jar and add rum. Cover and store in a cool, dry place for at least 4 weeks and up to several months.
Drain through a sieve into a pitcher, saving the beans. Pour extract (including dark sediment) into clean jars or bottles. Add a few of the beans to each container. Label with date and instructions: "Use as you would store-bought vanilla extract. Store at room temperature for up to a year."
Yield: 8 cups
Recipe from: "Edible DIY: Simple, Giftable Recipes to Savor and Share" by Lucy Baker (Running Press, 2012)
4 cups (18 ounces) fresh or frozen (thawed and drained) raspberries
4 cups vodka
¾ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
Combine raspberries, vodka and lime juice in a large glass container with a tight-fitting lid. Shake to combine. Store in a cool, dark place (like the back of a closet) for two weeks, shaking the container halfway through.
Simmer water and sugar together over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool. Add to the vodka mixture, cover, shake to combine and store in a cool, dark place for two more weeks.
Line a fine mesh sieve with cheesecloth. Strain the mixture into a pitcher, discarding any solids. Pour into bottles. Label with the date and instructions: "Sip on the rocks or mix with seltzer or sparkling wine. Store in a cool, dry place for up to a year."
Yield: About 1 cup, or two 4-ounce jars
Recipe from: "Edible DIY: Simple, Giftable Recipes to Savor and Share," by Lucy Baker (Running Press, 2012)
¼ cup freshly grated lemon zest
¼ cup coarse kosher salt
¼ cup flaky sea salt, such as fleur de sel
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly crushed
2 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread zest on a baking sheet. Bake about 10 minutes, or until dry to the touch, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven and allow zest to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, combine salts, fennel seeds and red pepper flakes. Add dried lemon zest and stir until evenly distributed. Divide between two 4-ounce jars with tight-fitting lids. Label with date and instructions: "Excellent on meat or poultry, especially pork or chicken. Store in a cool, dry place up to 6 months."

Well, what do you know? Urban Meyer will talk about the Patriots and the tight end position.
Just not such that it reflects poorly on his "daily Bible study sessions."
During the interview in which he refused to comment on former Florida player Aaron Hernandez, Meyer was perfectly willing to gush about the good Gator, Tim Tebow.
Asked if his former Florida quarterback could play tight end (since the Patriots are running short), the now-Ohio State coach offered another testimonial on behalf of his former poster boy.
"I don't doubt Tim can do anything," Meyer said, via Guy Cipriano of the News-Herald. "If you are asking me, that's all speculation. He's a good athlete, incredible competitor. To play NFL tight end now. . . . There's only a few of them that can do that."
Meyer was also willing to say he still speaks with Tebow regularly. Of course, his words weren't a complete endorsement of the position change which many think will be Tebow's only path to an NFL field, because position changes are hard.
Of course, the Jets already tried him as a personal protector. And apparently, that wasn't Tebow's first experience in that role, either.

I respectfully disagree with the PP's I think Fox is a wonderful name! I do think if your taste is less adventurous for the most part, and Fox is the exception to that, you'll probably want to use it in the middle. As you can see from my sig, I'm a huge fan of nature/word names, especially in the middle. Milo Fox is my favorite of the combos you listed, but Logan Fox is equally wonderful, and it has an extra dash of mischief about it that really appeals to me. I don't know if you're a sci-fi fan, but Fox Mulder of the X-Files is a good example of the name being wearable on an actual person (even if he was just a character in a show).
In the end, do what you think best. Are some people going to say it's horrible? Clearly. But I think a kid would love being named Fox, and if he has a "normal" name in the mix like Milo or Logan, he has that to fall back on if he gets to the point where he's uncomfortable with a nature name.

I really like it as a middle or as a nn. As a given first name it's a but out there for me, but I wouldn't be surprised to meet a little boy named FoxDelicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~George Eliot

I actually really like Fox, but think its best as a middle name and also if it happens to have a family connection, like a maiden name.

No, I don't think Fox or Foxx is horrible on a boy; on a girl, I would have serious doubts.
I had Silas Balthazar Fox on my list, albeit briefly.
It would be a great middle name if you're unsure, and you mentioned you'd call him Fox as a nn anyway
I like the 2-1-2 flow of Milo Fox Bennett, and Logan Fox Bennett perhaps?
Congratulations btw!

I'm thinking of using this page as a source for IPs. I've been searching, and found this that looks almost perfect but, the only thing is that I want to block with the format ip 18.104.22.168/24, and also I'm not sure if this script is compatible with ISCP3? Anyone have some input on that? I also found this link, but I don't want to do it all manually, when its tens of thousand of subnets! Anyone have a script that can do the same thing, but read the subnets from a file? Or does anyone have some other good advice for me?

Prop 8 Ruled Unconstitutional: Celebratory Reactions (Photos)
California's ban on same-sex marriage was ruled unconstitutional by a federal appeals court, enflaming a hot-button issue and setting up a Supreme Court showdown. See how opponents of the ban celebrated the news. Plus, John Avlon's quick take on the civil rights victory.
A federal appeals court has ruled that California's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, setting up a showdown in the Supreme Court. The state instituted the ban after voters narrowly passed Proposition 8 in 2008. But Tuesday's panel affirmed by a 2–1 vote that a lower-court judge was correct when he said the referendum violated the U.S. Constitution. Supporters of Proposition 8 had tried to throw out U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling that the ban was unconstitutional on the grounds that he had failed to disclose his sexual orientation. In a separate ruling Tuesday, the appeal court refused to set aside Walker's decision.

Welcome to my blog and the place where I will post my photos and musings from my life as an ultrarunner. My nickname "Shining" was given to me by a group of very special students after I finished my first 100-miler, the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. They were the inspiration that enabled me to finish this awesome race, and I try to live each day with a "shining" attitude!

My favorite ultra---19 years of marriage to Rusty
Today is Rusty's and my 19th wedding anniversary! Actually, we dated for five years before we got married on June 24, 1989, in Washington, DC, so we are really
celebrating 24 years of being together. Our first anniversary was celebrated while competing in the now-defunct Bud Light Baltimore Triathlon (International Distance). That was fun, and symbolic of our dating years where we raced and trained for marathons and tris together. Many other anniversaries were celebrated while vacationing in the Outer Banks of NC with our family (where we will all be next week--YAY!). One of the most memorable was our 17th, celebrated in Auburn, California. Rusty had been up all night crewing for my first WS100 attempt, and as I ran around the Placer HS track to the finish, the announcer said, "Here is Sophie Speidel from Charlottesville, Virginia! Today is her 17th wedding anniversary, and that is her husband running with her on the track!" That comment elicited lots of applause from the crowd, but I was cracking up (in-between sobs of relief for finishing in under the cut-off) because the guy running alongside of me was not Rusty, but Alex Papadopolus from the VHTRC. Rusty was actually documenting my finish here.
It's kind of cool that WS100 will always remind me of our anniversary, because I like to believe that building a healthy marriage is a lot like training for an ultra...it demands commitment, patience, flexibility, hard work, and sacrifice, and in return it provides a feeling of fulfillment, gratitude, peace, joy, and love. Rusty is the one who convinced me to try another 100 (but I think he just wants an excuse to go back to WS100 so he can mountain bike around Tahoe again), so this Grindstone's for you, Sweedie!

Happy Anniversary! Joy and I celebrated our 11th this year and it still feels like we got married yesterday. The ultra-marriage analogy is pretty good. Commitment, patience, hard work, rewarding are all virtues that easily come to mind. Not to mention the various life "phases" (kids growing up, etc.) are kind of like aid stations in that the represent a new phase (or section). Kind of corny I know, but I am in a weird mood today. congrats again and good luck with training.

Thanks, Bedford! Not too corny---actually, right on! The kids add an extra challenge along the way, for sure... all good, though.
Hope you are doing well. What's next for you? Send me your blog link and I'll link it to mine.

Not too long after I posted this, the 2008 WS100 was canceled due to the historic number of wildfires currently raging in Northern California. I feel so badly for the runners, the firefighters and the folks whose homes and property are in danger!! Let's hope they are contained very soon.

- GP2, Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Race 2
Calado wins final GP2 race of the season
James Calado won the final GP2 race of the season after making good start in Sunday's Abu Dhabi sprint and holding off Dani Clos for 22 laps.
Clos finished a close second ahead of newly-crowned champion Fabio Leimer in third. Sam Bird took fourth and in doing so clinched the teams' championship for Russian Time as main rivals Carlin failed to finish in the points.
The race got off to a messy start as Calado made a bold move to take the lead from Jonny Cecotto, who started from pole position but spun at the first corner. Felipe Nasr, who had started alongside Cecotto on the first row, was also a part of the Turn 1 accident and dropped down the field. Feature race winner Alexander Rossi crashed out at Turn 2, resulting in a safety car to clear his stricken Caterham.
The race restarted on lap three despite several marshals still in the line of fire at Turn 2 and Calado led Clos away. The race leader showed an impressive turn of pace as Clos fell back towards Leimer and Bird took fourth place from Daniel Abt, which he held for the rest of the race.
A second safety car period was caused when Jon Lancaster attempted an ambitious passing move on Stephane Richelmi at Turn 9 and spun as he made contact with the DAMS car. Lancaster's engine cut out, leaving the Hilmer car in a dangerous position that required a safety car to allow the marshals to clear it.
Calado managed the situation well, and although he came under pressure from Clos at the restart, never looked like losing the position. His second win of the year secured him third place in the drivers' championship ahead of Nasr.

Pancreatic Cancer and Genetics
My mother recently passed away at the age of 49 after a 4-week battle with pancreatic cancer. I have read that certain types of pancreatic cancer can be genetic. What should my family watch out for?
Ursina Teitelbaum, MD, Medical Oncologist at Penn Medicine responds:
There are familial cancer syndromes that can increase one's risk of cancer, including pancreatic cancer. It is hard to say in this particular case but I think important to find out the rest of your mother's family history, especially other family members with breast, pancreas or other GI cancers. You might ask her oncologist or your internist if you should be referred for specialized cancer risk assessment to find out if you or your siblings have increased risk.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View the entire transcript from the Focus on Pancreatic Cancer Webchat.

Combining Scripting Languages
PHP is a server-side scripting language, processed remotely before a page is rendered. As such, it has very limited access to client-side objects, and no real way of interacting with the client on its own once a page has been loaded. However, it has numerous strengths that make it a very practical and easily maintained choice for most of today's dynamic website projects.
JavaScript is a client-side language capable of interacting with the user in real time, even after a page has been rendered. Through the use of event handlers, Javascript may respond to a user's button click, key stroke, menu selection, and so forth. Javascript is widely supported and continues to grow with each new release.
Most PHP and JavaScript combinations follow the basic forumla outlined below:
Step 1: PHP functions retrieve and manipulate the data.
Step 2: JavaScript functions validate user input and/or provide the user with helpful information.
Although very useful, one drawback to the above process is the inability for PHP to further interact with the data in real time based on the user's actions. In other words, JavaScript may respond to user input, but once the page has been rendered PHP cannot assist in manipulating or retrieving any additional information. This limitation lessons the user-friendliness of a system by requiring JavaScript to load or reload a page each time it needs PHP to process or generate information.
In this article we will discuss an easily implemented way of getting around this problem by dynamically attaching PHP files to a page with the help of JavaScript. This will allow us to process information in real-time using not only JavaScript but PHP as well. Part 1 will discuss the basics, with a primary focus on attaching the external PHP files in a simple, example application. Part 2 will then expand our basic application and introduce a few additional concepts. By the end of the tutorial, you should have a firm understanding of how to effectively combine PHP and JavaScript in order to achieve a wide range of creative and unique results.
{mospagebreak title=PHP Disguised as JavaScript?}
One very useful feature of PHP is that it allows you to set header information for the document you are generating. This header information can control a wide variety of things – forcing the user's browser to open the file in a certain application, or to redirect the user to another page, or to authenticate the user before proceeding, and so on.
By default, PHP files are treated as an HTML file by a user's browser, since the output rendered by the server is generally text or HTML. The default content type then for an HTML (or PHP) file is "text/html." When a browser encounters this content type, it opens the file itself and renders any HTML markup found within the file appropriately. This is good, as the primary purpose of an HTML page is to format and display information.
A JavaScript file ("text/javascript"), however, is different. It will be rendered in plain text, as its primary purpose is not to display information, but to manage it through the use of statements and functions. Put another way, placing HTML markup in a JavaScript file will result in Javascript errors, not an HTML page. Likewise putting JavaScript in an HTML file (without the appropriate encapsulating tags) will also cause undesirable results in most cases.
header( 'Content-Type: text/javascript' );
Note: It is important to place the header() function call at the top of our PHP file. Placing it lower may result in compilation errors, as all header information must be sent before any other content is output.
In many cases where PHP is used to dynamically generate a page and its various HTML objects, this may be limiting. Our JavaScript code may need to know about every object in order to intelligently manage a single object. We can accomplish this goal by using the header tag mentioned above. PHP can now generate not only our HTML, but all associated Javascript code as well — resulting in yet another level of complexity in our dynamic system.
{mospagebreak title=You Want More JavaScript?}
So far we've talked about how to generate JavaScript using PHP, and how that Javascript can then interact with users on a real-time basis. However, our initial problem still remains: once our page has been rendered, our PHP code ceases to be –- leaving the management of both data and user interaction to JavaScript. Although Javascript offers many powerful features, relying on it solely from this point on may still be unnecessarily restricting.
"What if we could allow JavaScript to call back to PHP whenever it wanted help?" you may be wondering. The answer is that we can. Using three simple lines of JavaScript code, we can dynamically add as many Javascript/PHP files as we want to a page, and in real time. This opens up the doors for an enormous number of user-friendly features that would not otherwise be possible. We'll take a look into a few of those features shortly, but for now let's look at how this can be accomplished. Consider the function below:
function attach_file( p_script_url ) {
// create new script element, set its relative URL, and load it
script = document.createElement( 'script' );
script.src = p_script_url;
document.getElementsByTagName( 'head' )[0].appendChild( script );
The above function takes as a parameter a relative URL to an external file. (This file may be a plain JavaScript file, but it may also be a PHP file disguised as a JavaScript file, as previous discussed.) The URL is used to create a new script object, which is then attached to the current document's  tag. In other words, this function will retrieve and attach an external JavaScript or PHP file to a page after the page has already been loaded.
Let's look at an example.
{mospagebreak title=How Does This Work?}
For our first application, we'll keep things simple. The primary focus here is to demonstrate how our two languages interact. To do that, we will construct two files: the first a simple PHP page that comprises mainly HTML, and the second a PHP page that generates JavaScript. Our first page will be as follows:
# start the session, and clear any existing values
$_SESSION['js_count'] = 0;
<!– main HTML display –>
<title>PHP & Javascript – Example</title>

Is this what they have in mind?
It may not quite be the Batsuit, but Harvard engineers are working on a "novel wearable system" that could prolong the physical endurance of soldiers in the field. As the beneficiaries of a Wayne Industries-sized $2.6 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the university's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering has been charged with developing a smart suit that improves the body's resistance to injuries while delaying the onset of fatigue. Lightweight, efficient, and nonrestrictive, the proposed suit will comprise soft, wearable assistive devices that integrate several Wyss Institute technologies, including a stretchable sensor that monitors the body's biomechanics without the need for rigid, motion-restricting components.
Conor Walsh, an assistant professor at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, will lead an interdisciplinary team that includes Rob Wood, a professor of electrical engineering; Yong-Lae Park, a Technology Development Fellow at Wyss; and chemistry professor George Whitesides.
A similar device could increase stamina in the elderly or increase the mobility of people with physical disabilities.
A similar device could increase stamina in the elderly or increase the mobility of people with physical disabilities.
Walsh's group will have to overcome several problems associated with current wearable systems, including their large power requirements and unyielding overall structures. The future suit may not give soldiers Batman-like abilities, but efficient actuation and joint support could allow them to walk longer distances and sustain heavy loads.
Although DARPA's project is focused on assisting members of the infantry, the technologies being developed could have non-military applications, as well. A similar device has the potential to increase stamina in the elderly, for instance, or increase the mobility of people with physical disabilities.

Is Niall Horan of One Direction Crushing on Selena Gomez?
Of all the Jelena rumors we've been hearing lately, we're taking this one with the biggest grain of salt. That said, reports are circulating that One Direction member Niall Horan has had his eyes on Selena Gomez since she dumped Justin Bieber -- even though they may not be over after all.
Hollywood Life reports that Niall, 18, has been pursuing Selena, 20, ever since she's been single. (Or semi-single, as it were.) "Selena thinks Niall is very cool and finds his Irish accent really sexy," a source said. "They've been chatting to each other on her private Facebook account and [they] text each other. There's a real spark between them. They both lead busy lives but Selena would love to get together with Niall next time they're in the same country."
Here's where it gets fuzzy. Selena and Justin reportedly reunited, or at least had a slumber party, earlier this week. Add to that the fact that Niall was getting flirty with Selena's pal Demi Lovato, and things get messy. And that's not the only reason this would be screwed up.
Justin is good friends with the guys in One Direction, and he's particularly close with the adorbs Irishman. Could you imagine the teen pop drama this would cause? We're not fully buying this one -- at least not until Justin and Selena call it quits once and for all -- though it would certainly make Biebs jealous again.

Appeal brought on 23 November 2011 by Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and others against the order of the General Court (Seventh Chamber, Extended Composition) delivered on 6 September 2011 in Case T-18/10: Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and others v European Parliament, Council of the European Union, Kingdom of the Netherlands, European Commission
(Case C-583/11 P)
Language of the case: English

Other parties to the proceedings:
European Parliament, Council of the European Union, Kingdom of the Netherlands, European Commission
Form of order sought
The Appellants claim that the Court should:
Annul the order under appeal of the General Court and declare the application for annulment admissible, should the Court of Justice consider that all elements required to decide on the admissibility of the action for annulment of the contested Regulation are present;
In the alternative, annul the order under appeal and refer the case back to the General Court;
Order the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union to pay the Appellants' costs;
Order the European Commission and the Kingdom of the Netherlands to pay their own costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
The Appeal is based on three main grounds of appeal: 1) the General Court erred in law in the application of Article 263, fourth paragraph, of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ("TFEU"), 2) the General Court violated the duty to state reasons and, in subsidiary order, violated Articles 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union ("the Charter") and Articles 6 and 13 of the European Convention for the protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ("ECHR"), as principles of the Union's law, and 3) that the General Court wrongly presented and distorted the evidence adduced by the Applicants at first instance.
In the First Ground of Appeal, the Appellants allege that the interpretation given by the General Court to the term "regulatory act", i.e., as separate and exclusive of a "legislative act", is erroneous as it negates any
raison d'être
of the new possibility for the institution of proceedings based on Article 263, fourth paragraph (first part of the first ground of appeal). In the second part of the first ground of appeal, the Appellants also demonstrate that the General Court erred in law by concluding that only four of the eighteen Appellants are directly concerned by the contested Regulation. The General Court applied a too restrictive interpretation to the concept of direct concern. The General Court also erred in law by applying too restrictive an interpretation of the requirement of individual concern.
In the Second Ground of Appeal, the Appellants recall that in their observations on the pleas of inadmissibility, they had submitted that only a broad interpretation of Article 263, fourth paragraph, TFEU would be in conformity with Article 47 of the Charter Articles 6 and 13 ECHR. Given that this plea of law was decisive for the outcome of the case, the General Court was under a legal duty to provide for a specific and express reply. The Appellants demonstrate, however, that the General Court did not adequately address this plea of law. The omission of the General Court to do so constitutes an error in law which shall result in the annulment of the order under appeal (first part of the second ground of appeal). In the second part of the second ground of appeal, and in subsidiary order, the Appellants respectfully invite the Court of Justice to annul the order under appeal on the ground that the interpretation of Article 263, fourth paragraph, and the consequent decision of the General Court to declare the Appellant's action inadmissible, violates Article 47 of the Charter and Articles 6 and 13 ECHR, as general principles of the Union's law.
In the Third Ground of Appeal, the Appellants claim that the General Court wrongly presented and distorted the evidence they had adduced. Indeed, the General Court rejects the Appellants' argument concerning the interpretation to be given to the term "regulatory act" on the basis of two claims that the Appellants allegedly made, but in reality did not. The findings of fact of the order under appeal are therefore incorrect and distort the clear sense of the evidence available to the General Court, without it being necessary to undertake a fresh assessment of the facts. Since the General Court interpreted the arguments adduced in a way that is at odds with their wording, the finding of the General Court in the order under appeal is vitiated by some manifest errors of assessment.

The beginning of the new year is always fresh with optimism and goal setting. Yesterdays don't matter anymore and the focus is on today and tomorrow.
As an organization the Mets' 2011 goals are to get through the season as competitively as possible, shed itself of its suffocating contracts and lay a foundation for 2012. The free-agent signings of Chris Capuano and Taylor Buchholz are low-risk, with the potential for high-rewards moves. The possibility of improving the bullpen and possibly the rotation at minimal cost are the type of decisions we've come to expect from Sandy Alderson. If they acquire Jeff Francis or Chris Young, it would be more of the same. These moves won't push the Mets over the top, but they can make for an interesting summer — if the following goals are also reached.
The following Mets should have these resolutions and goals.
JOHAN SANTANA: Don't push your return from shoulder surgery and accept the marquee days of your career could be over. Santana's injury is serious and there's no reasonable expectation he'll return prior to the All-Star break. The competitor in him wants to pitch and there's the danger of him pushing it. Santana has pitched with injury before, but he must be especially careful now, even if it means setting out the entire season. To re-injure his shoulder could mean the end of his career. And, with 2011 all but a write-off season, there should be no urgency on the part of the Mets, either.
MIKE PELFREY: Pelfrey made tremendous strides last year, but regressed in June. Hopefully, he has learned from it. During that swoon Pelfrey reverted to bad habits and lost his focus on the mound. Pelfrey went away from trusting his stuff and started aiming the ball. When all else fails, Pelfrey must realize if he keeps it low he has the stuff to overpower hitters. Above all, without Santana, I don't want Pelfrey to put too much of a burden on himself with the expectations. Pelfrey is what he is, which is a good, developing pitcher. He's not a No. 1 yet, so his goal should be not to put that pressure on himself.
RA DICKEY: Dickey's goal should to duplicate 2010 as much as possible. It was a career year for him so a regression shouldn't be a surprise. Dickey can no longer sneak up on teams, so how he responds with expectations will be interesting to see.
JON NIESE: Niese had a good start but growing pains eventually caught up with him and he slid from 6-2 to 9-10. Niese, obviously, isn't a given and his goal needs to trust his stuff and try to make gradual improvement. There are expectations on Niese he's never had before, made even heavier by the questions swirling around the rotation. Niese must learn to keep things simple and not over extend himself.
BOBBY PARNELL: Quite simply, his goal must be to harness his near 100 mph. fastball to where he can capture the set-up role, which is his for the taking. How well Parnell does in this role will go a long way toward moving him into the closer's role for 2012 should Francisco Rodriguez fail to finish 55 games.
FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ: K-Rod has to keep his temper and get off to a fast start. If he's hot early and the Mets are in contention, he'll get more save opportunities to increase his chances of that $17.5 million option kicking in. The Mets would prefer he fail short and instead go with the buyout. One of the most interesting storylines of the summer will be Rodriguez. If he's good, so will be the Mets. If he's not, the team will likely be sluggish, but facing a financial windfall for next winter.
JOSH THOLE: Thole will enter spring training as the No. 1 catcher, but can't assume he's got it made. He has good bat control, but needs to pick up that part of his game. His offensive goal should be to continue to be patient at the plate and take the ball where it is pitched. Thole will get stronger as he gets older, but shouldn't be thinking about changing his offensive approach.
IKE DAVIS: Already strong, the home runs will continue to come for Davis, but he needs to be more disciplined at the plate for that to happen. Davis was frequently beaten on breaking ball low off the plate. That was his offensive Achilles Heel that threatens to curb his progress. Davis knows he's good and has the potential, but he can't take it for granted that it will automatically come for him.
JOSE REYES: Reyes lets things get to him and that presents the danger of pressing in his walk year. With the Mets acutely aware of their budget, a decision on Reyes could come as soon as the All-Star break. Reyes hasn't been himself in two years because of injury and the fear is he'll try to force things. With Reyes, that includes losing focus at the plate and giving away too many at-bats. Reyes' best production came in the years immediately following his contract when he's healthy. Considering the past two years there's a concern about his health. Reyes' primary goal outside of staying healthy is playing within himself.
DAVID WRIGHT: With the clubhouse chemistry in a state of flux in a transition year, Wright's goal should be to assert himself more as a leader. This is his team and he needs to act like it. With a lot of young kids, and what could be going on in Reyes' head, Wright needs to be more of a vocal, kick-butt presence. With a new management and manager, now is the time. A leader, however, needs to follow by example and there were way too many instances where Wright gave away too many at-bats and also lost focus in the field. Wright struck out 161 times last year, a number that should be reduced by at least 25 percent. Too often Wright was a rally killer and that has to stop, especially with the need for more offense considering the pitching questions.
CARLOS BELTRAN: So far, Beltran has said all the right things to impress the new regime. His goal should be to mean them. If Beltran stays healthy and produces he knows that could parlay into another rich contract. Only Beltran knows it won't happen with the Mets. The Mets could have an interesting dilemma at the All-Star break. If Beltran is having a good year and has the Mets within wild-card contention, they might try to ride him during the second half. But, if he's playing well and what's offered is potentially better than compensatory draft picks, they'll pull the trigger on a deal. Either way, it is safe to assume this is Beltran's last year with the Mets. It's up to him to make the most of it.
JASON BAY: Rarely are there do-overs, but this is as close as it comes. Bay hit only six homers and missed most of the second half with a concussion in what was a lost season. The Mets are stuck with his contract and Bay's objective is to prove his worth.

Student success is the reason for the CSU's Graduation Initiative. Since the initiative began in 2009, encouraging results are evident.
Second-year retention rates for first-time, full-time freshmen increased for underrepresented students (URMs) from 67 percent to 71 percent from 2008 to 2009. For non-underrepresented students, the rates increased from 73 to 75 percent during the same period.
The aim is to improve graduation rates and close the achievement gap among students of all ethnicities. By 2015, the CSU seeks to raise its six-year graduation rate from 46 to 54 percent, and cut in half the degree attainment gap for underrepresented students from 11 to 5.5 percent.
Working with the campuses, the Chancellor's Office team is creating a "data dashboard" that will track leading indicators of student success, such as the number of students enrolling in a full load of classes first term and the percentage of first-generation students participating in a learning community. Read More
The CSU has unveiled a new searchable degree webpage that makes it easier for students to find the undergraduate and graduate degree programs they are interested in at all 23 CSU campuses.
What makes the degree site even more convenient for students is that it is linked to the CSUMentor website which helps students and families plan for college and graduate school. On CSUMentor prospective students can select an appropriate campus, learn how to finance their education and apply for admission.
Since the degrees site became operational, each successive month has seen a greater number of visitors who explore the site to investigate degree offerings at CSU campuses. January 2012 saw an increase of 33 percent from the previous month, with 15,670 visits from 150 countries and territories.
Analysis has shown that more users are coming from calstate.edu than from CSUMentor (when applications re-open, heavier traffic may come from Mentor), and that usage is highest during the week. Read More
The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (SB 1440) enables the CSU and the California Community Colleges (CCC) to collaborate and create Associate of Arts (AA) or Science (AS) degrees for transfer to the CSU.
The program has a new logo and tagline: "A degree with a guarantee." CSU Mentor has received thousands of applications in five programs: communication, psychology, sociology, math and criminal justice. However, fewer than 1,000 may be valid.
The CSU has emailed these students about "petitioning" for the transfer degree at their CCC campus. While the deadline is mid-February, the CSU believes that the CCCs will be flexible and assist students. Each CCC has promised to respond to students by mid-March. The students will forward those responses to CSU campuses for verification to complete their admission determination.
CCC students who have earned the transfer degree will be granted priority admission to the CSU into a similar BA degree program with a guarantee of junior standing as long as the student meets all prescribed admission requirements. Read More
Welcome to the second edition of News and Reflections, the online Academic Affairs newsletter highlighting initiatives, programs, events and people at the Chancellor's Office and the 23 campuses. Much has occurred since the last newsletter, and you will find updates on many issues in this edition.
The state's continuing budget crisis has impacted the CSU in a manner not experienced since the system was created in 1960. Cuts in staffing, programs, classes, maintenance, travel and supplies, and higher tuition fees have been unprecedented. Through it all the CSU has focused on preserving a high-quality education for our 427,000 students. It has not been easy, but our 44,000 faculty and staff have worked incredibly hard to help students succeed. We have received a record number of applications for fall 2012 but with the $750 million budget reduction we have already endured, and the reality of a potential $200 million "trigger cut," the consequences could be dire. Latest budget news »
Meanwhile, let us not lose sight of the good we are doing - SB 1440, Early Start and the Graduation Initiative - are major programs that will lead to student success. I want to thank you for everything you continue to do in these tough times to put students first.
I also want to congratulate Beth Ambos, CSU assistant vice chancellor for research initiatives and partnerships, on her new position: Executive Director for the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR). She has been a valuable member of the Academic Affairs team, and we will miss her counsel, strength of character and absolute passion for bringing students and faculty together for research opportunities.
CSU Summer Arts is on the move! After 13 years at Fresno State, the extraordinary six-week arts program has moved to CSU Monterey Bay. First created in 1985 during an arts faculty institute in the woods of Kirkwood, CA, the CSU faculty and administrators sought a way to meet the needs of CSU arts students as well as supplement the CSU campuses' existing diverse arts programming. Originally a summer dance program housed at CSU Long Beach, it expanded to include various arts genres, and in 1990, the Media Arts Festival. Throughout the years, it has been housed at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Humboldt State, Fresno State and now Monterey Bay.
Summer Arts offers two-and three-week long workshops in theatre, dance, music, visual arts, creative writing, new media, and arts education all taught by well-known guest artists. Most guest artists present some kind of a public event, and each workshop stages a public culminating event featuring student work. Sign up now for classes. Read more
CSU Nisei Diploma Project is wrapping up after more than a year of video interviews with the Japanese Americans who had to leave their CSU campuses in 1942 after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 forcing Japanese Americans from the west coast to be incarcerated in camps or moved to inland states. These Nisei received honorary bachelor's degrees from the CSU in spring 2010 ceremonies. The Chancellor's Office received a grant from the California State Library to record the stories of these former students. DVDs have now been created from those interviews and sent to 120 libraries in the state, and many schools surrounding the CSU campuses where the Nisei once attended: Fresno, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose and San Luis Obispo. Screenings have been held at campuses, museums and community centers. The videos are on YouTube. Read more
Affordable Learning Solutions (ALS) is a CSU systemwide initiative to provide tools and resources for making students' educational experiences better by
enabling faculty to choose and provide quality educational content that is more affordable for students. CSU students typically pay about $1,000 per year for their books. By reducing their expenses, students can have better access to a quality CSU learning experience. For example, the CSU has teamed with the Nature Publishing Group to produce an interactive digital textbook for a special CSU price of $35. The interactive textbook is being used in Intro to Biology courses at the Chico, Los Angeles and Northridge campuses this year. Read more

Do you even know what the word epic means??
noting or pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style:Homer's Iliad is an epic poem.
So the use of the word epic should always pertain or resemble this type of literature. So, if you are a damsel in distress and a prince slays a dragon and comes to get you, then you write a blog on the whole thing, then you are allowed to use the word epic to describe said story.
If you ate a pretty big breakfast, they you are not allowed to call it epic. Period.
Heres what our Urban Dictionary folks say about it:
the most overused word ever, next to fail. for even more asshole points, use them together to form "epic fail." everything is epic now. epic car. epic haircut. epic movie. epic album. epic shut the fuck up. saying "epic win" doesn't make you sound any better, either. and for fucks sake, don't ever say it in person.
So even the folks over there the word is totally obnoxious. Your haircut cannot be epic. Maybe if a hero swooped in and gave you that much desired haircut and then you write a poem - you know what? No. Don't even use it in that circumstance.
Okay so I will agree that epic can be used to describe a movie. Although not a movie such as Land of the Lost or Love Affair or any of the Saw movies. Beowulf is obviously an epic movie as is Lord of the Rings.
Now I am sure that 90% of my Loyal Readers use the word "epic" daily. And I certainly don't want anyone to stop cold turkey - god how that never works.... And I have to admit I, myself, have called things epic fails. I think what really bothers me about the word is it's sudden prevalence in everyone's vernacular. I know it is just a fad word like, um, well, probably fail, and I am sure that it will fade away like other fad words. I'm just hoping that is sooner than later.

What do you know about Montessori schools?
Roy Miller:"They have a special teaching attitude, like Eureka College, I guess. They have a method of teaching for kids who are more interested in education than in the cafeteria or the playground."
Justin Dorn:"Nothing."
Ulrike Wartner:"I know quite a bit; I used to be on the board of University Montessori because my child used to attend one of the schools. It was a great experience. My brother's a Montessori teacher now."


text: The 22-year-old Bairstow rewarded the selectors' decision to pick him in place of Kevin Pietersen with a maiden Test fifty as England battled in a must-win game to hold on to their number one status [GALLO/GETTY]Jonathan Bairstow rewarded England's decision to recall him in place of Kevin Pietersen with a maiden Test fifty as they fought back on the second day of their series finale with South Africa at Lord's. Bairstow came in Friday when England, just as the tourists had done in their first innings, had collapsed to 54 for four. But by stumps England were 208 for five. Bairstow was 72 not out, having added 124 for the fifth wicket with Ian Bell (58). Matt Prior was unbeaten on 22. However, that left England still 101 runs adrift of South Africa's 309, with the Proteas, 1-0 up in the three-match series, only needing to avoid defeat to replace their hosts as the world's top-ranked Test side.Under pressure Bairstow, dropped by England after making a mere 38 runs during his first three Tests against the West Indies earlier this season, was under severe pressure - especially following Pietersen's 149 in the drawn second Test at Headingley. Despite that brilliant innings, England axed the South Africa-born Pietersen after he sent "provocative" texts, believed to be critical of his team-mates, to Proteas players.

Morkel struck first when, off the last ball before lunch, he bowled England captain Andrew Strauss, playing his 100th Test and 50th as skipper on his Middlesex home ground, between bat and pad with a well-directed delivery from around the wicket. Steyn then removed Jonathan Trott, lbw on review, and Alastair Cook, well caught by Jacques Kallis at second slip, for single figure scores. Bairstow struggled with the short ball against the West Indies and South Africa posted a short leg as they tried to work the Yorkshireman over. But despite taking 13 balls to get off the mark and looking decidedly uncomfortable, Bairstow eventually pulled the tall Morkel for four before Bell, with typical elegance, drove Steyn to the boundary. Both batsmen got away with some streaky edges but there was no doubt about Bairstow's on-driven four off leg-spinner Imran Tahir.Maiden fifty A fortunate steer through the slips off Morkel saw Bairstow, who last week made a hundred for the second-string England Lions against Australia A, to fifty off 86 balls including eight fours. Conditions, with blue skies above and a still good pitch, were now ideal for batting and it was not long before Bell followed Bairstow to fifty by steering seamer Kallis behind point for a sixth four in 133 balls. But all-rounder Vernon Philander, whose maiden Test fifty had earlier helped the Proteas past the benchmark total of 300, broke the fifth-wicket partnership when he had Bell caught by third slip Alviro Petersen off a good length ball that took the edge. Steyn, Morkel and Kallis all then beat the bat but no more wickets fell Friday. South Africa resumed on 262 for seven, with Philander 46 not out. He went on to make 61, joint top score in the innings, as South Africa recovered from the shock of seeing Middlesex fast bowler Steven Finn, who finished with four for 75, rip through their star-studded top order. Philander shared several useful lower order partnerships before his more than three hours of resistance ended when he was last man out, stumped trying to slog off-spinner Graeme Swann.
