Anything of significant value should be packed in your carry-on baggage, including electronic devices, computer equipment, cameras, and jewellery.

16.3.3 We will not be liable for damage to unchecked baggage unless such damage is caused by our negligence.
16.3.4 We are not liable for any damage arising from our compliance with applicable laws or Government rules and regulations, or from your failure to comply with the same.

If the weight of the baggage is not recorded on the baggage check, it is presumed that the total weight of the checked baggage does not exceed the applicable free baggage allowance for the class of carriage concerned. If in the case of checked baggage a higher value is declared in writing pursuant to an excess valuation facility, our liability shall be limited to such higher declared value.
16.3.6 Except where other specific provision is made in these conditions, we shall be liable to you only for recoverable compensatory damages for proven losses and costs in accordance with the convention.
16.3.7 We are not liable for any damage caused by your baggage. You shall be responsible for and shall reimburse us in respect of any damage caused by your baggage to other persons or property, including our property.

220.127.116.11 We shall without delay, and in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the identity of the natural person entitled to compensation has been established, make such advance payments as may be required to meet immediate economic needs on a basis proportional to the hardship suffered;

188.8.131.52 An advance payment by us in terms hereof shall not constitute recognition of liability and may be offset against any subsequent sums paid on the basis of our liability, but is not returnable, except if we prove that the damage was caused by, or contributed to by, the negligence of the injured or deceased passenger or in circumstances where it is subsequently proved that the person who received the advance payment caused, or contributed to, the damage by negligence or was not the person entitled to compensation.
16.5 Unless so expressly provided nothing herein contained shall waive any exclusion or limitation of liability or other defence available to us under the convention or applicable laws. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing nothing herein contained shall waive any exclusion or limitation of liability or defence available to us under the convention or applicable laws in relation to death, wounding or other bodily injury as against any public social insurance or similar body or any person who is liable to pay compensation or has paid compensation in respect of the death, wounding or other bodily injury. Such claims shall be subject to the limit in Article 22(1) and to the defences under Article 20(1) of the convention.

16.5.1 Domestic Carriage in South Africa
For all carriage on our domestic services within the Republic of South Africa to which the convention does not apply, the limit of our liability to or for each passenger for death, wounding or other bodily injury shall be the sum of R1,000,000 (one million rand) inclusive of legal fees and costs subject to proof of the quantum of the claim and that the incident was the result of or was caused by negligence on our part, provided that this limit shall not apply to acts or omissions carried out with intent to cause damage or in a reckless manner, and with knowledge that damage would probably result.
Acceptance of baggage by the bearer of the baggage check without complaint at the time of delivery is sufficient evidence that the baggage has been delivered in good condition and in accordance with the contract of carriage, unless you prove otherwise.
If you wish to file a claim or an action regarding damage to checked baggage, you must notify us as soon as you discover the damage, and at the latest, within seven (7) days of receipt of the baggage. If your wish to file a claim or an action regarding delay of checked baggage you must notify us within twenty-one (21) days from the date on which the baggage was placed at your disposal. Every such notification must be made in writing and dispatched immediately after discovery of the damage or delay, and at the latest within the time limits aforesaid.
17.2 Limitation of Actions
Any right to damages shall be extinguished if an action is not brought within two (2) years of the date of arrival at destination, or the date on which the aircraft was scheduled to arrive, or the date on which the carriage stopped. The method of calculating the period of limitation shall be determined by the law of the court where the case is heard.
Note: For domestic carriage (i.e. wholly within the Republic of South Africa) the period of limitation shall be three years.

Is the S&P 500 breaking above previous all-time highs–1,565 reached on Oct 9, 2007–the beginning of more good things to come for stocks? Or is it time to lighten up?
The S&P 500 is now running an incredible streak of 546 consecutive calendar days without a 10% correction.
To put that in perspective, the current pace is close to breaking a 56-year record of 650 days, which took place from Oct. 22, 1957 to Aug. 2, 1959. Put another way, the longer the market goes without a correction, the more severe the correction will be when it finally does arrive.
Fund manager John Hussman gives rather excellent guidelines on what is the maximum drawdown or losses an investor should bear:
"An intolerable loss, in my view, is one that requires a heroic recovery simply to break even," Hussman explained. "A short-term loss of 20%, particularly after the market has become severely depressed, should not be at all intolerable to long-term investors because such losses are generally reversed in the first few months of an advance (or even a powerful bear market rally)."
Keeping Hussman's rule of thumb in mind, let's examine a few strategies for hedging against a correction in stocks.
1. Inverse ETFs
Inverse-equity ETFs are built to increase in value when stock prices fall. Although they are not meant to be bought and forgotten, but can offer temporary shelter in a market decline.
The current generation of inverse or "short" ETFs has daily objectives of either 100% opposite performance, or in the case of leveraged funds, 200% or 300% opposite returns.
For advisors that want a simple short-term hedge, most of the 100%-opposite or negative-one-times ETFs should get the job done. ProShares and DirexionShares offer inverse-equity ETFs on large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks with and without leverage.
2. Put Options
Buying protective insurance via put options on stock ETFs is another way for minimizing the damage of falling stock prices. Put options are designed to increase in value when the underlying asset or ETF falls in price. In other words, any losses in the value of stock ETFs, would be offset by gains in the underlying put options.
Put options act in a non-linear fashion. That means it requires a small dollar amount of them to hedge a much larger dollar value position in an underlying security.
Most heavily traded stocks ETFs like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) and iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) have underlying put options trading on them.
The length of insurance coverage via put options can be as short as one month or up to a year, depending on when the options contracts expire. In other words, advisors can customize the length of insurance with options to match their client's unique needs.
3. Buying Volatility
Higher stock prices have led to depressed market volatility.
In 2012, the CBOE S&P500 Volatility Index (VIX) had an average daily closing value of just 17.80, but today the VIX has fallen even lower to the 12-13 range.
That puts the VIX right at pre-credit crisis levels seen in 2005-06. What does this mean?
A depressed VIX can be interpreted as too much complacency or lack of fear in the market. It's frequently used as contrarian sell signal.
Conversely, an elevated VIX infers a high level of fear and could be a good buy setup, depending on the circumstances. One way to hedge against lower stock prices is to buy purchasing call options on the VIX.
Premiums have become inexpensive and offer a good way to hedge. Unlike VIX ETPs, which don't allow advisors to customize the length of their trade to a particular month, VIX call options can be bought for one-month into the future or several months. The VIX is inversely correlated with the S&P 500. The VIX is quoted in percentage points and measures the expected movement in the S&P 500 over the next 30 days.
4. A Cash Cushion
The average yield on 7-day retail money market mutual funds is a paltry 0.05%.
At that rate, it would take a person 1,440 years to double their money! No wonder so many people, and even some advisors, believe that "cash is trash."
But during a market downturn, cash isn't trash.
Ever notice how Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway always has a multi-billion dollar cash cushion? That's because when the stock market gets roughed up, cash in a portfolio gives the owner financial flexibility.
Cash is the easiest way to hedge against a downturn and gives advisors the luxury to buy assets on the cheap, when the crowd is running for the exit signs.
It's called opportunistic investing.
And it's just one more way to hedge against a market correction.

On clear path, Hamilton ready for first full camp
CINCINNATI -- Billy Hamilton has yet to steal a base in the Majors, or even have a plate appearance. But it doesn't matter on the Reds Caravan, where Hamilton is a featured attraction on the Western leg.
The Reds' top prospect, and now a newly converted center fielder, went on the road in 2012 as well and found people were excited to see him. And that's when he was still playing Class A ball.
"Last year on caravan, I didn't know what to expect. I was a little nervous," Hamilton said. "This year, I have a sense of what they expect. I feel more comfortable around people."
What those people along the road likely realize, as should Hamilton, is that his path to the Major Leagues could not be any clearer. While not quite an express route, things could move pretty quickly for the 22-year-old if everything continues to fall into place like it already has.
During this offseason, the organization had Hamilton convert from his natural shortstop position to work in center field in the Arizona Fall League. Cincinnati's incumbent center fielder -- Drew Stubbs -- is gone. Stubbs was traded to the Indians in December to acquire Shin-Soo Choo as the team's new leadoff hitter and center fielder. Eligible for free agency next winter, Choo is widely expected to move on after only one season in a Reds uniform.
That makes the idea of Hamilton leading off and playing center field to begin 2014 very realistic.
"I am just going to play my game. It's their decision," Hamilton said. "I don't look at stuff like that. Choo is a great player. We'll see what happens."
Last season, Hamilton's speed became a national phenomenon as he stole a professional baseball record 155 bases. Combined between Class A Bakersfield and Double-A Pensacola, he batted .311 with a .410 on-base percentage and 112 runs scored in 132 games.
The buzz is sure to grow as Reds fans get a closer look at Hamilton during Spring Training, where he will be in big league camp for the first time as a non-roster player. He's made cameos in a few Cactus League games when summoned from Minor League camp.
That won't be the same as being in the clubhouse and always working out with the likes of Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips, Jay Bruce and Choo.
"This is going to be awesome. The last couple of years, I've gotten a chance to go over there every now and then," Hamilton said. "This is going to be full time. I am looking forward to being around all of the guys and having a good time with them, and learning a bunch of stuff from them -- not just my teammates, but all the other teams. I'm pretty sure I will get advice from all of them. That's the main thing, just get around the older guys that know the game."
There are few expectations that Hamilton will be on the Reds' Opening Day roster, especially with only 50 games at the Double-A level. It's widely expected he could begin 2013 there or at Triple-A Louisville, where he could very well spend most of the season if his development continues to go well.
The Reds told Hamilton to work on his bunting skills, which he said he did during the Fall League.
"That's the main thing," Hamilton said. "My job as a leadoff hitter is to get on base any way I can. I feel like bunting could be a big part of my game, so I took it to another level."
When Hamilton eventually rises to the top level, where he could turn Major League basepaths into a personal running track, he will really get to see how he stacks up against more experienced competition.
"I'm ready to just see how my talent from the Minor Leagues does in the big leagues and if it carries over," Hamilton said. "I have the confidence I will be good up there. I'm looking forward to it."

Cholesterol is a fat-like, waxy substance that can be found in all parts of your adolescent's body. It aids in the production of cell membranes, some hormones, and vitamin D. The cholesterol in blood comes from two sources: the foods your adolescent eats and his or her liver. However, your child's liver makes all of the cholesterol your adolescent's body needs.
Cholesterol and other fats are transported through the blood stream in the form of round particles called lipoproteins. The two most commonly known lipoproteins are low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL).
|What is LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol?
|What is HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol?
This type of cholesterol is commonly called "bad" cholesterol. It can contribute to the formation of plaque build up in the arteries, known as atherosclerosis.
LDL levels should be low. To help lower LDL levels, help your adolescent:
This type of cholesterol is known as "good" cholesterol, and is a type of fat in the blood that helps to remove cholesterol from the blood, preventing the fatty build up and formation of plaque.
HDL should be as high as possible. It is often possible to raise HDL by:
A cholesterol screening is an overall look at, or profile of, the fats in the blood. Health care providers in the past felt that children and adolescents were at little risk for developing high cholesterol levels and other risk factors for heart diseases affecting the coronary arteries and blood vessels until later in life. However, many doctors now realize that children and adolescents are increasingly at risk for having high blood cholesterol levels as a result of one, or more of the following:
Children and adolescents with high cholesterol are at higher risk of developing heart disease than adults. Many doctors are recognizing that keeping blood cholesterol levels in normal ranges throughout one's lifetime may be of great benefit in reducing the likelihood of developing coronary artery disease and high blood pressure.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), a division of the National Institutes of Health, recommends that cholesterol testing begin at age 2 for any child who has the following:
The NHLBI also recommends that children and adolescents who have demonstrated risk factors, such as obesity, should have cholesterol and other lipids tested periodically by their health care provider.
In 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published updated guidelines that added more specific recommendations to those above, including testing of children older than 2 years whose family history is unknown. The AAP also recommends that physicians should consider giving cholesterol-lowering medications (statins) for children older than 8 years who have high LDL blood levels.
A full lipid profile shows the actual levels of each type of fat in the blood: LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and others. Consult your adolescent's physician regarding the timeliness of this test.
Blood cholesterol is very specific to each individual. A full lipid profile can be an important part of your adolescent's medical history and important information for your adolescent's physician to have. In general, healthy levels are as follows:
The NHLBI recommends the following guidelines for cholesterol levels in children and teenagers (ages 2 to 19) from families with high blood cholesterol or early heart disease:
|Total cholesterol
|Less than 170 mg/dL
|Less than 110 mg/dL
|170 to 199 mg/dL
|110 to 129 mg/dL
|200 mg/dL or greater
|130 mg/dL or greater
Elevated cholesterol is a risk for many Americans. Consider the following information from the CDC:
Triglycerides are another class of fat found in the bloodstream. The bulk of your adolescent's body fat tissue is in the form of triglycerides.
The link between triglycerides and heart disease is under clinical investigation. However, many children and adolescents with high triglyceride levels also have other risk factors such as high LDL levels or low HDL levels.
Elevated triglyceride levels may be caused by medical conditions such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, kidney disease, or liver disease. Dietary causes of elevated triglyceride levels may include obesity and high intakes of fat, alcohol, and concentrated sweets.
For adults, the CDC says a healthy triglyceride level is less than 150 mg/dL.

Reviews of this property
Here the major points:
- Location
The location is just amazing. You are in the middle of Cascais. You are 100 m from the railway station. It is only 50 m to Cascais Downtown. It takes you only 5 to 10 minutes walk down to the beach. The location is just perfect. 5 Stars.
- Apartment
The apartment is as described. The veranda is huge. You can have there great BBQs or just hang around and take a sunbath.
The house is an older one. The lift just remembers you the good old times.
Basic equipment is available. Some more silverware, respectively some sharp knives would be helpful.
A lot of minor good stuff is in the apartment, that could turn your vacation turn cozy and comfortable.
4 Stars
- Assistance
We had two minor issues, that were dealt immediately. Rita and her husband take very good care of you. Any questions was just answered right away. 5 Stars
- Parking
Parking is quite a challenge and very experience in Cascais. If you have a car, you might encounter some challenges. On the other hand you are in Cascais Downtown near the railway station. Who needs a car? 2 Stars
- Neighbors
You are alone on the third floor. The neighbors on the second floor were extremely kind. Maybe tourists? :-) 5 Stars
Generally spoken we are very satisfied with the apartment. The description of the apartment was very accurate.
Anytime again.
We had a great time in Cascais! Very nice appartment. Pitty the weather wasn't that great. Close to Lisboa and we will be back. Thanks Rita.
This appartment is just fantastic. Above all the wonderful terrace!! You are close to the beach, to the train station, still the place is very calm and safe. Rita is very nice and helpful. The day we left, she allowed us to stay longer as our plane was scheduled for a late hour. We will certainly return, Rita. Thank you very much for the good communication. Wishing you and Bart all the best.
A diamond in the rough is a good description of Rita's apartment.
After 6 weeks, we can conclude that we gradually shifted from a slight disappointment not to meet the comfort we were used to at home to love the place, which despite its flaws grew bigger and better every day. Not least thanks to the hostess' generosity, kindness and never ending concern for our wellbeing. The word "no" appears not to be in her vocabulary, at least not in English. Anyone wishing an impeccable accommodation, however, this is not the right place. In fact a few things would need to be refurbished and looked over, but everything works and everything is there. We did not miss anything and learnt that quality can mean many different things. The apartment with its huge sunny terrace offers generous space and owns in its simplicity, a singular charm and warmth. Its location is absolutely outstanding, like a hub, two minutes from everything of importance, beach, train to Lisbon, buses, supermarket, restaurants etc. We give it a strong 7 on a scale to 10. Please don't change anything! Your diamond just needs a gentle grind and it will easily be a 10! We will happily return. Agneta and Christian
A nice, cozy apartment with a lovely roof terrace where early morning to early evening sunlight on it. (Or opportunities to sit in the shade) Fully equipped, DVD Player + TV, sound system, microwave oven etc. We were two and found it very spacious. With four or five people is probably a bit fuller, but doable! Disadvantage is that there three in the living room to sleep on sofa beds. For the environment, it is definitely worth it to go! Even if you are in the heart of Cascais you will not notice the crowds. Within four minutes all along the coast and by train allows you, for 2.50 euros, in 30 minutes in the center of Lisbon. Runs
Een mooi, gezellig appartement met een heerlijk dakterras waar van 's ochtends vroeg tot begin avond de zon op staat. (wel mogelijkheden om in de schaduw te zitten!) Van alle gemakken voorzien, dvd-speler+tv, geluidsset, combi-oven etc. Wij waren met z'n tweeën en vonden het lekker ruim. Met vier á 5 personen is het waarschijnlijk wel wat voller, maar ook goed te doen! Nadeel is wel dat er dan drie in de woonkamer moeten slapen op slaapbanken.
Voor de omgeving is het zeker de moeite waard om er naar toe te gaan! Ook al zit je in hartje Cascais u merkt niets van de drukte. Binnen 4 minuten loopt u al langs de kust en met de trein staat u, voor 2,50 euro, in 30 minuten in hartje Lissabon.
Accommodation with lots of character and a huge terrace in the center of Cascais close to the sea and the train station. Perfect!
Logement avec beaucoup de cachet et une immense terrasse en plein centre de Cascaïs à proximité de la mer et de la gare. Parfait!

Your 2013 World Series matchup: Nats vs. Blue Jays
Both teams coming out of offseason looking poised to meet heightened expectations
This is not a prediction. I don't start making those mistakes until late March. But it is a distinct possibility.
The Nationals led the Major Leagues with 98 regular-season victories in 2012, and since then have only improved. On Tuesday, we were reminded of their direction and their determination when they signed the premier closer on the free-agent market, Rafael Soriano, thus fortifying a strong bullpen that already contained two closers.
And this next postseason, there is every chance that the Nats will allow one of baseball's very best, Stephen Strasburg, to participate. Arguments could be made on behalf of at least seven other National League clubs as genuine contenders, but the Nationals had the best team ERA in the league last year and they don't appear to be getting worse.
The Blue Jays, meanwhile, have essentially won the offseason. They astutely put themselves in a position to be the beneficiaries of the Marlins' retrenchment, raking in a personnel windfall.
The Jays emerged from their trade with Florida with a greatly improved rotation and a new and vastly better middle infield. Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle represent sizable upgrades among the starters. Jose Reyes is more like an immense upgrade at shortstop and also will provide a dynamic presence at the top of the order. Emilio Bonifacio has speed, defensive dependability and versatility.
The Jays were far from finished, though. They subsequently added the 2012 NL Cy Young Award winner, R.A. Dickey, in a deal with the Mets. By this point, they had nearly transformed their rotation, as opposed to merely improving it. They also added Maicer Izturis, another dependable infield defender. Their one move that came with an attached question mark was the signing of outfielder Melky Cabrera. He had a breakthrough season in 2012, but also a 50-game suspension for an elevated testosterone level.
But on balance, this was a terrific offseason for the Blue Jays, as they dramatically changed their talent level. They went from "they're doing a nice job, but it's so tough in the AL East" all the way to "this is absolutely one of the best rosters in the game."
The Jays have assembled a team with a minimal number of areas that are open to question. They have no glaring deficiencies, although it appears that they will open the season without a long-term, established closer. This was why they had been seen in some quarters as possible employers for Rafael Soriano. But the Nationals ended that possibility when they signed Soriano on Tuesday.
As recently as two years ago, a Toronto-Washington World Series would have been seen as the work of an overheated imagination. Now, it can be seen, through the occasional January snow flurry, as a reasonable outcome.
It would be, of course, something completely different. Washington has not hosted a World Series since 1933; representing another league, playing under a different name, in a previous millennium. As an American, one doesn't have to be jingoistic to admire the notion of the nation's capital climbing to the status of baseball's capital.
The Jays were back-to-back champions not that long ago, in 1992-93, with terrific teams that won six-game Series over Atlanta and Philadelphia. There would be no problem with a return to autumn baseball in Ontario, especially with Rogers Centre having what we in the four-season portion of North America like to call a retractable roof.
Frankly, the Blue Jays playing in a World Series in the American capital would create an opportunity for Americans to atone for an earlier insult. It could have been an international incident, except that the Canadians, while they were seriously dismayed, also were typically civil.
The incident occurred in 1992 in Atlanta. During World Series pre-game ceremonies, the American handlers of these events, while displaying the Canadian flag on the field, in public, before a global audience, flew the flag upside down.
This was a low point in American/Canadian relations, and there was a lot of speculation about how Americans would have handled it had the Canadians flown Old Glory upside down. It was written at the time that "we probably would have nuked Ottawa," but this was intended as typical American overstatement, rather than a suggestion for actual public policy.
The point was, the Canadians who witnessed this national insult handled the episode with dignity and restraint. Now their flag, flown properly, could grace the 2013 World Series in the District of Columbia, the capital of our republic, in the company, of course, of the Star-Spangled Banner.
It is now a matter of the Nats and the Jays turning this scenario into reality. This is not a routine assignment, but these are two teams that are eager to answer when opportunity knocks.

Embedthis Pak is a simple package manager for embedded applications. It makes it easy to retrieve, integrate, and manage components for embedded applications. An online Pak catalog provides tested, integrated componens that work together. It is not intended as a generic package manager to install complete applications. It implements the CommonJS Package specification and uses Git as back-end storage for packages. Pak calls packages "paks". This is not a misspelling.
Smooth Build is a build tool which provides a functional language which lets you describe a build process in a simple and readable way. A build script for a simple Java program can be as simple as "app.jar: files("src") | javac | jar;" All built artifacts are cached and indexed (hashed) using the sha1 of the expression (function name and its arguments) which returned a given artifact. This way, Smooth never builds the same artifact twice.
Build Gear is a lightweight build tool for building embedded firmware. Its primary focus is to make it easy to create and maintain fully-customized embedded firmware. This is reflected in a straightforward commandline interface and support for easy-to-understand build files. The secondary focus is build performance and build integrity. Build Gear is easy to use and well-suited for rapid prototyping and product development of GNU/Linux firmware to be deployed in small-to-medium-sized embedded systems.
Embedthis MakeMe replaces both autoconf and make with a single utility. MakeMe provides a higher level of abstraction for easily specifying the targets to build (libraries and executables). It can build directly on Linux, Mac, or Windows and cross compile for other platforms. It can also generate native projects for Visual Studio, XCode, Make, Nmake, and shell scripts. MakeMe builds quickly without the complexity of autoconf and make. MakeMe projects are described using JavaScript, and the entire build is exposed as a unified DOM object.
autorevision extracts metadata about the current revision from your repository. It is meant to be used by project build systems to extract properties that can be used in software version strings. Repository types supported include git, hg, bzr, and svn. It can create files containing variable and macro definitions suitable for C, C++, Java, sh, Python, Perl, PHP, Lua, JavaScript, and header files suitable for use in preprocessing Info.plist files.
Duda Client Manager (DudaC) is a helper tool for fast building and deployment of Web services. It aims to make setup of the environment easier and to run Web services from their source code. It takes care of downloading the stack components, configuring them, and building them in a stage directory.
SBuild is a Scala-based build system. It features platform independence, multi project support, automatic detection of needed actions, automatic up-to-date detection, a flexible scheme handler mechanism, Maven repository support, Ant task integration, automatic cross-project resolving of dependencies, high speed, a simple "syntax" that requires almost no Scala knowledge, behind-the-sceens compilation of build script to bytecode for fast execution time, and built-in scheme handlers for HTTP and Maven.
A utility to automate shipping of open-source project releases.
A non-graphical .NET Project management component which enables .NET applications to read, write, and manage Project documents without utilizing Microsoft Project.

You've been sitting around the house, eating greasy pizza, watching the NFL Network and avoiding your annoying girlfriend or wife. You haven't moved off the couch in 48 hours and your phone died, rendering your Twitter account worthless. Meanwhile, sports smack-talking maniacs have been using social media and other outlets to vent on fellow combatants. Athletes are fighting writers. Writers are fighting writers. Athletes are fighting fans. This is where Busted Coverage steps in on a weekly basis. The gatekeepers. If someone is in a sports-related war, we're all ears. If you know of a sports-related beef, we want to hear about it. There are no sports beefs too small for The Schoolyard editors. Try us. email@example.com Deadspin vs. Donald Trump Fight Combatants: Deadspin & America's #1 troll, Donald Trump Fight Details: Deadspin writes the story that ESPN wouldn't. Deadspin writes the story that Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated missed. Deadspin went on a media victory lap for exposing Manti Te'o as either a deranged maniac or a gullible idiot. Of course Donald Trump wanted in on that action with a congratulatory tweet. The only problem is that he left out the co-author Jack Dickey from that tweet. Wrong move, Trumpster. Fight Scorecard: Draw; we need to see if Troll will come back with a counterpunch. Chael Sonnen vs. Lance Armstrong Fight Combatants: The best trash talker in the UFC, Sonnen, vs. a beaten man Fight Details: Chael dropped this tweet on Tuesday. Hey Bike Boy, once you are done apologizing to Oprah, pedal on over to @jimrome show and apologize to me too. Fight Scorecard: Lance didn't respond. Fight called via rear-naked choke. Brandon McCarthy vs. Pokemon-like Cartoon Character Parody Account Fight Combatants: Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon McCarthy vs. @Love_that_Goku Fight Details: It's unclear why McCarthy, known for his Twitter prowess, was fighting with an anime-esque parody Twitter account, but things escalated rather quickly in this war between a rich baseball player and some guy who loves cartoons. Fight Scorecard: Love That Goku by decision. McCarthy probably would've taken this fight until he went with the grandma burn. That's just uncalled for. Michigan State Basketball Players Branden Dawson vs. Adreian Payne Fight Combatants: Michigan St. basketball players Branden Dawson (left) and Adreian Payne Fight Details: Tom Izzo says that a Wednesday fight between two of his players at the team hotel was over practice gear. According to media reports, the players "got in a pushing and shoving altercation." Dawson and Payne, normally starers, were benched for Wednesday's game against Penn State. As for the hotel damage created during the fight, Izzo says the players will pay for the repairs. Fight Scorecard: Draw. Lance vs. Oprah vs. His Old Cycling Enemies Fight Combatants: Lance Armstrong and his demons Fight Details: Oprah seemed to rent a suite at a Hampton Inn for her biggest TV interview since Tom Cruise jumped on her couch. Lance was going to be no-holds barred. He was going to answer all the questions honestly and come clean about his doping. It was to be Lance's final battle with the cycling community. And then it came out of his mouth. Lance called himself an "arrogant prick." He used PEDs to win the Tour de France. In fact, he used pretty much every doping cocktail known to man. Oh, and Lance says the doping stopped in 2005, meaning he came back clean to finish 3rd in the 2009 race. Fight Scorecard: Oprah, 1st round KO. Mr. Livestrong was finished two minutes into the interview. Filed under: Schoolyard

Polyarteritis Nodosa
(PAN; Periarteritis Nodosa)
Polyarteritis nodosa is an autoimmune disease. The immune system is the body's defense system. It fights diseases and infections. An autoimmune disease is a condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the body. With polyarteritis nodosa, medium-sized arteries and, less commonly, small arteries become inflamed and damaged. The inflammation of the arteries affects many different organs.
The cause of polyarteritis nodosa is unknown. In rare cases, however, it occurs with hepatitis B virus infection or hairy cell leukemia.
Risk Factors
Polyarteritis nodosa is more common in people 40 to 60 years of age, although it can occur at any age. It is also more common in men.
Factors that may increase your chance of developing polyarteritis nodosa include:
- Hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
- Hairy cell leukemia
- IV drug use
Polyarteritis nodosa is a multisystem disease. This means that it affects many parts of your body at the same time. It can affect organs such as the skin, kidney, nerves, and gastrointestinal tract, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
Often, you will experience headache, fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite, and fever. Other symptoms include:
- Rashes
- Open sores on the skin
- Small bumps under the skin
- Bruises
- Death of skin tissues
Cut-Away View of Skin with Bruise Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Nervous system:
- Tingling, burning, pain, or numbness in your feet, hands, legs, arms, and face
- Decreased alertness
- Inability to think clearly
- Pain in the abdomen
- Nausea and vomiting
- Bloody and non-bloody diarrhea
Vision problems
Detachment of Retina Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
- Genital sores
There is no single test to diagnose polyarteritis nodosa. You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Biopsy
Your muscles and nerves may be tested. This can be done with a nerve conduction study.
Your vascular system may be tested. This can be done with an arteriogram.
Early diagnosis and treatment of polyarteritis nodosa may improve the outcome. Treatment may be aggressive, with the goal being to reduce the inflammation of the arteries and put the condition into remission.
Without treatment, the condition may be fatal. Complications from polyarteritis nodosa include stroke, kidney failure, heart attack, and permanent tissue damage of the intestines.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
- Corticosteroids—High doses of steroids can reduce inflammation of the arteries.
- Immunosuppressive drugs—Suppressing the immune system helps decrease inflammation of the arteries by countering the body's autoimmune reaction.
- Antiviral drugs—When hepatitis B or C is present, antiviral medications are helpful in addition to immunosuppressive drugs.
