The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R Digital Camera is a compact high-performance camera that features a large 24.3 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor to produce high resolution still imagery and full HD 1080p video. Benefitting the performance of the sensor is the omission of the optical low-pass filter, which allows for even higher resolution, detail, and image sharpness than normally possible. Also contributing to high overall image quality is the incorporation of the BIONZ image processor, which enables low noise levels with high sensitivity to ISO 25600. Furthermore, this processor provides quick performance to all aspects of the camera, including a full-resolution continuous shooting rate of 5 fps, a high-speed autofocus system, and intuitive handling throughout the menu system.Full frame. Palm size.Sony's passion for quality and compactness culminates in the world's first 35mm full-frame camera with bright lens and palm-sized dimensions. The Cyber-shot® DSC-RX1R leaps far beyond other compact cameras to deliver emotionally charged photographs of truly extraordinary quality wherever you go. Make your dreams come true with RX1 and RX1R.A whole new world of high-quality images.Sony's high-quality 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor captures every detail of your scene with remarkable accuracy. Its 24.3MP resolution (approx.) is ideal for gallery-quality stunning large-format prints. Razor-sharp alignment of the sensor and optical components brings out the full potential of the lens to the very edges of your photos.Focus on the details.Carl Zeiss® lens expertise meets Sony optical precision in a sophisticated large-aperture lens offering remarkable brightness reminiscent of the sun. The design of this lens includes a slim advanced aspherical (AA) lens element of micro precision that delivers stunning image sharpness and brightness while contributing to a short lens barrel.High-fidelity image processing engine.From vivid colors to smooth skin tones, every nuance of your scene is reproduced throughout an extremely wide dynamic range with BIONZ® image processing engine. Even processor-intensive tasks are handled with speed and precision, including 5 fps continuous shooting at full 24.3 effective megapixel resolution, 14-bit RAW and high ISO shooting.Ultimate resolution.The DSC-RX1R is a special edition of the RX1 allowing you to take full advantage of the sensor's capabilities. The optical low-pass (anti-aliasing) filter has been removed from the RX1R, allowing the full resolution of the sensor to be achieved without compromise. This results in resolution and sharpness when image details matter.The fusion of form and function.Only Sony could combine a bright f/2 lens, 35mm full-frame sensor, and a magnesium alloy case into one stylish, durable and compact package. The RX1 / RX1R is not only a genuine milestone in camera design, but also a mosaic of precision-balanced features crafted to enhance ease of use and extend the pleasure of ownership.Get closer than ever.Capture the smallest detail with the 7-3/4" (20cm) minimum focus of the RX1R, and do it without a protruding lens. Direct Manual Focus (DMF), Manual Focus (MF), MF Assist, and the peaking function combined with the optional FDA-EV1MK electronic viewfinder (sold separately) give you the ultimate freedom to create almost any shot you desire.A perfect circle for beautiful bokeh.Nine aperture blades form a nearly perfectly round diaphragm opening throughout the most commonly used aperture range of f/2.0 to f/11, making your foreground and background defocusing smooth and subtle, and creamy.Amazing low-light performance.Multi Frame NR automatically composites six images taken continuously at high speed to enhance noise reduction. The extremely clear results allow usage of higher sensitivity settings — up to a maximum ISO 102400, the highest in any compact digital camera. Multi Frame NR is compatible with all ISO settings and all P/A/S/M modes (Auto, Aperture priority, Shutter speed priority and Manual modes), allowing you to prioritize the shutter speed or aperture when desired while ensuring stunningly clear results.Record Full HD movies in 60p or cinematic 24p.See your movies like never before. The RX1R records in Full HD at 60 fps for super smooth playback, 24 fps to create a more cinematic look, or other frame rates for different effects. Full-time continuous auto focus ensures clear results even when shooting fast-moving subjects.A range of exposure options.The RX1 / RX1R's highly sensitive 35mm full-frame sensor, bright lens with maximum f/2 aperture, and sophisticated image processing technology create an amazing ISO 100 to 25600 range for ultimate exposure control. Sensitivity can also extend downward to ISO 50, but the recordable dynamic range narrows below ISO 100.Never miss a magic moment again.Life goes by pretty fast. A fraction of a second can mean the difference between art and awful. That's why the RX1R can capture 5 pictures per second, making every moment a magic one.Eyes on your shot, not a menu.Quick Navi cross keys, control dial/wheel, and user-friendly icons lets you quickly confirm, adjust, or change settings at a glance without having to use a menu or look away from the optional viewfinder.Your favorite functions are a click away.Easily reassign Custom, AEL and Left/Right/Down buttons to instantly activate your favorite functions like Drive mode, Flash mode, Autofocus Area, Face Detection, Smile Shutter, Auto Portrait Framing, and many more.Lifelike LCD preview.The Xtra Fine LCD featuring WhiteMagic™ brightens whites and darkens blacks to recreate your scene on the 3.0-type (7.5cm) 1,229k-dot display. Anti-reflection technology eliminates glares even outside, and an illumination sensor optimizes the screen for ideal display. The effective displayable resolution is equivalent to VGA (640 x 480).Never be off center again with Grid Lines.Grid lines on the LCD support more accurate horizontal and vertical alignment of the camera with walls, streets and other elements in your scene. Select from three: Rule of 3rds Grid Line, Square Grid Line, and Diagonal + Square Grid Line. For extra assistance, use the Dual-axis Digital Level Gauge to check for camera roll and pitch.Fine tune your focus with MF Assist.The MF Assist enlarges your shot on the preview screen up to 11.7x when you focus by hand. The Peaking function highlights the sharpest in-focus areas of your image — even when not using MF Assist — to clearly show what is focused.Instantly access perfect settings.Memory Recall lets you instantly access your favorite setting lightning quick so you never miss a shot fumbling with multiple buttons again. Memory Recall can memorize up to three groups of settings including exposure modes, shutter speed, Drive mode, ISO, White Balance, Metering modes and more.See what you're missing.The Auto High Dynamic Range shoots three images at different exposures and combines the best details from each — the brightest highlights, darkest shadows, and vibrant mid-tones - into a single breathtaking image so you can preview each picture's potential. Auto HDR also gives you the freedom to limit the exposure range when desired.Flattering shots under any light.Auto White Balance (AWB) gives you a full range of presets and adjustment options to create stunning lifelike colors in less than ideal lighting. You can even adjust white balance and fine tune your lighting in real time with an on-screen chart that spans amber-blue to green-magenta to get your shot exactly how you want it*.* When a flash is used, the color tone can be adjusted after the image is shot.Make your picture match your vision.D range Optimizer gives you up to 5 steps of real time analysis and correction to capture natural gradations and details, even when shooting high-speed scenes. Note: The effects of DRO vary depending on the scene and conditions.Banish lens distortion forever.The RX1 / RX1R automatically compensates for peripheral shading, chromatic aberration and distortion characteristics of the lens. Don't worry though, you always have ultimate control over your shot and can disable it any time you like.Artistic perfection at your fingertips.Transform ordinary landscapes and portraits into truly unique images by applying any of 13 Picture Effect settings — including Retro Photo, Rich-tone Monochrome, Soft Focus and Watercolor. You can even give movies an artistic twist by applying Toy Camera, Pop Color, Posterization, Retro Photo, Soft High-key, Partial Color, or High-contrast Monochrome.Discover your own creative style.Set the mood of your still images and movies with a suite of 13 Creative Style settings while the RX1 / RX1R automatically adjusts color and other image parameters. Then fine-tune contrast, saturation and sharpness to make your movies and stills truly come alive*.* Not available when B/W mode is selected.Enjoy your memories wherever, whenever you want.PlayMemories Online uses the cloud to put all of your photos and videos at your fingertips, no matter where your life may take you. As long as you have an internet connection, you'll never be too far from the moments that mattered. Your TV, smartphone, PC, tablet, or other entertainment device becomes a mobile media center, and PlayMemories automatically balances quality with resolution to maximize playback regardless of the size of the display.TRILUMINOS™ Color: a visual experience like no other.The RX1R supports Sony's TRILUMINOS™ color, allowing you to view photos and movies in rich, natural colors on any TV equipped with a TRILUMINOS display. The expanded color spectrum lets you immerse yourself once again in those unforgettably colorful moments, from the azure shades of a shimmering blue sky to the rosy flush of a baby's smile.Features

By GARY ARRINGTONStaff Writer
At the May Huntington City Council meeting, the Council passed Ordinance 1-2013 which further regulated livestock within Huntington City limits and more specifically, regulated pigs and how close they can be to a neighboring residence.
In that ordinance, pigs cannot be raised within 30 feet of any dwelling on the same lot nor within 75 feet of a dwelling on a neighboring lot. With the exception of the Grange place on 300 East, one cannot have a breeding operation between 400 North and 400 South and between 550 West and 400 East within any residential zone.
The Council also went through a presentation by the city treasurer on a revised 2013 City budget and a proposed city budget for 2014. The council will make any adoptions at the June city council meeting.
Huntington Mayor Hilary Gordon and Councilman Jeff Cowley thanked all the citizens that came out and assisted in the planting of the flower containers up and down Main Street. Shortly after the planting, several flowers were pulled up and destroyed so city residents are asked to be mindful and watch for vandalism in their area and to report it if observed.
Heritage Days planning is complete and all should enjoy a week long celebration culminating with music and fireworks by the rodeo grounds. The City is looking at changing the actual location of the shooting of the fireworks and bringing them closer to the people.
On July 3, Huntington will have an ice cream social at the park followed by a concert featuring the group No Limits, a group brought back by demand from last year. Following the concert, under the coordination of the fire department, the city will have a similar child fireworks show with sparklers on the ball field at the city park. All are invited to bring their own fireworks to the park and to participate.
Councilman Mark Justice reported the sidewalk project is under way and the contractor is making good progress. Justice also reported there are several places in town with curb and gutter only going half the block and the water after rain storms is flowing off the gutter and into a pond area that allows for the breeding of mosquitoes. This will be priority for the city when money allows.
Councilperson Gloria Wilson reported several fire fighters participated in training in Moab and that they did very well in the skills test and all had a good time. Wilson also reported the city crossing guards have new vests and it is reported they can be seen better by drivers.

Altronic GTI Bi-Fuel Product Line Attains CARB Certification
Receives aftermarket CARB certification for off-road compression-ignition engines in stationary applications.
Altronic has received CARB certification for its entire GTI Bi-Fuel product line, including the GTI+, pictured here.
Altronic's GTI Bi-Fuel product line has received aftermarket certification from the Air Resources Board of the state of California Environmental Protection Agency (CARB) for use on off-road compression-ignition engines in stationary applications.
The GTI Bi-Fuel system is designed to allow diesel engines to operate on a blend of diesel and gaseous fuels. According to Altronic, the GTI Bi-Fuel system enables engines to operate on gas percentages up to a maximum of 70% of the total fuel requirement, subject to gas quality and other application conditions.
The GTI Bi-Fuel system combines natural gas and air in the intake system of the engine. This mixture is then fed into the combustion chamber by the intake pipe and ignited as soon as a small quantity of diesel fuel, now functioning as an ignition source, is injected into the combustion chamber. Since the GTI Bi-Fuel system uses existing air inlet and diesel injection systems, no modifications to the engine are required for installation.
Altronic offers the GTI Bi-Fuel system as a standard kit for engines with an output of up to 3000 kilowatts.

The sea is rougher here than in other parts of Denmark, making these beaches excellent water sports areas. If you're looking for more child-friendly and family areas for swimming, try the coastal area around Limfjord.
You can drop in to many, local farm shops around West Zealand, with a great selection of locally-produced fruit and vegetables. The area around Lammefjord is known for its delicate asparagus, carrots and potatoes.
Cyclists love West Zealand, with its many sign-posted cycle routes and easy access from Copenhagen. Hike the area's many popular sign-posted routes, such as those across the Odsherred peninsula.
Sejerø is a beautiful and peaceful island, with undulating landscape and many small swimming beaches. Visit the old church, with its fine fresco paintings, or any of the many burial mounds on the island. You can reach the island by ferry from Havnsø.
You will witness a very special light when the weather is clear at Odsherred, a peninsula jutting out into the mouth of Isefjord. From here, you can see beautiful views as far as the eye can see.
The fertile soil and mild climate of South Zealand makes the region a pantry of delicious raw produce. Everywhere you go, you will see roadside stalls and farm shops, where you can buy local produce.
The gently undulating landscape of South Zealand and the flat islands of Lolland and Falster are great places to get on your bike and cycle round the region. Cycle routes are easy to find and well sign-posted.

Department of Outreach and Evangelism
Document Actions
The Mission of the Department of Outreach & Evangelism is to renew and share the Orthodox Christian Faith in America by nurturing a deeper commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ within His Church, by reaching out to inactive Orthodox Christians as well as those without a church.
Welcome to the Outreach & Evangelism site of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. In these pages you will find many resources for ministry with a focus on outreach & evangelism. These pages contain relevant articles, sermons, ministry profiles, photos and updates on developments from throughout the Archdiocese. The Department also provides regular electronic communication with all those interested in outreach and evangelism through the Outreach email listserv.
our mission
The Mission of the Department of Outreach & Evangelism is to renew and share the Orthodox Christian Faith in America by nurturing a deeper commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ within His Church, by reaching out to inactive Orthodox Christians and to the unchurched, by meeting the needs of those inquiring about the Orthodox faith, and offering each community the tools for parish renewal and for the establishment of new parishes. As Archbishop Demetrios has said, "It is the Parish, it is the local community which has been, is, and will forever be the central, indispensable agent for offering our Orthodox faith to contemporary America."
As the presence of the Universal Church, the parish is called to witness to those within and those outside the community of believers. If we believe that in Orthodoxy we have the fullness of the Truth, then we have the great responsibility - the Great Commission - to share it with all people. All aspects of the parish may be seen as apostolic, and the Orthodox faithful are called to incorporate Christian mission in all aspects of life. When Christ said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." he commissioned us to transform the parish into an agency of Christian outreach.
The American culture offers us great opportunities to conduct successful parish renewal, outreach and evangelism. It is time for a new beginning and a renewed effort to inspire creativity and revival in Orthodox Christianity in the United States. It is our duty and obligation not to hide our light under the bushel, but to let it shine before all people - to regain the missionary model that established the early Church. We must let our light so shine - because unless people see in us the light and the love of Christ, they will not believe.
Parish outreach coordinators
The role of the Parish Outreach & Evangelism Coordinator is to promote and facilitate programs, projects and initiatives in the local parish and community in keeping with the mission of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese Department of Outreach & Evangelism under the guidance of the presiding priest of the parish.

He began his law enforcement career as a reserve deputy sheriff with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in 1975. In 1976, Chief Dorn became a police officer with the Gilbert, Arizona Police Department where he served as a patrol officer until 1978, at which time he became a deputy sheriff with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. He served with the Sheriff's Office for nearly twenty-four years, retiring at the rank of captain. Upon retirement, Chief Dorn returned to the Gilbert Police Department as a commander over the field operations division. Dorn served as Gilbert's interim chief of police from December 2005 until May 2006, when he was permanently appointed as chief of police.
Chief Dorn served eight years as an enlisted military policeman in the Arizona Army National Guard and Army Reserve. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army National Guard upon graduation from Officer Candidate School (OCS) in 1982.

A new Los Angeles produced denim line, Rue de Jeans, promises comfort without giving up style. Cindy Yun created her own line to move with her jetsetting life.
???I had this idea of coming up with a denim line that I can wear on the plane, something that really gives me that comfort and, at the same time, is stylish,??? said Yun.
Use of lightweight premium Italian and Japanese fabrics with 2 to 3 percent stretch is a key to achieving comfort, but Yun has gone further by adjusting other details. Instead of using a traditional leather logo patch, Yun has developed a 2-inch elastic insert that sports the logo and gives the waist room to expand when the wearer is sitting.
???I wanted it to be more of a stealth element on the logo,??? said Yun.
The women??™s collection centers around three core fits ??" a skinny, straight and flared boot cut ??" and also features corduroy and velveteen bottoms. There are several limited edition styles, including the Etoile, which features a waistband studded with Crystallized-Swarovski Elements. Some items are hand-sewn and all the jeans feature red stitching on the inside seams, adding a design element for women who roll their jeans. (WWD)
Watch out for Rue de Jean to be sold at specialty stores next month at Scoop, Atrium, Ron Herman and H Lorenzo.

Worcester fly-half Andy Goode and prop Euan Murray return to the starting XV for Saturday's clash with Northampton at Sixways.
Worcester fly-half Andy Goode and prop Euan Murray return to the starting XV for Saturday's Premiership clash with Northampton at Sixways.
Goode was forced out of last week's defeat at Bath through illness and Scotland international Euan Murray also returns to the run-on side after his exploits for his country in the Six Nations.
"We were disappointed with the Bath game as our accuracy wasn't there on the day," said Worcester head coach Richard Hill.
"However, I don't feel the final score line reflected the huge amount of effort the team put in and it was a hard result to stomach.
"It's a big test for us against Northampton. They will be boosted by the release of several England internationals and will be close to full strength.
"While we want a positive result there is no doubt that the Saints are fired-up too and we have to guard against that.
"Every time they have a disappointing result, and are written off like they have been in some quarters after the defeat to Gloucester last weekend, they have rebounded with a massive performance.
"They are dangerous, but we are hurting too after last week and so I expect a big response from the Warriors."
Meanwhile, Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder believes his team will have to put in a big performance.
The Saints head to Sixways after a disappointing home loss to Gloucester, and Mallinder revealed that every player is motivated to put things right against the Warriors.
"We've had open and honest discussions among the coaches and players this week, as we do every week," he commented.
"There were some good aspects to our play last week – we created chances and could have scored three more tries than we did – but we were also sloppy in areas, especially defence, and we've worked hard to tighten things up.
"Worcester can put in big performances, especially at home, and they're going to be up for the game.
"They've got some experienced and influential players in their squad and we will have to be streetwise as well as increase our intensity, physicality and accuracy from last week."
Form: Worcester Warriors have lost their last three fixtures in all competitions. At Sixways, the Warriors' 14-19 reversal to Leicester in their most recent home Aviva Premiership Rugby match ended a four game winning run at the venue in the tournament. Northampton Saints have won only one of their last four Aviva Premiership Rugby contests: 30-19 at Exeter in round 13. The Saints have picked up just 13 of a possible 30 league points from their last six matches. Worcester have not beaten Northampton since the Saints' most recent visit to Sixways on 30 September 2011, whilst Northampton's most recent victory at the stadium was when they beat Gloucester there, 30-24, in the final of the 2010 Anglo-Welsh Cup.
The teams:
Worcester: 15 Errie Claassens, 14 Josh Drauniniu, 13 Alex Grove, 12 Jon Clarke, 11 David Lemi, 10 Andy Goode, 9 Jonny Arr, 8 Matt Kvesic. 7 Sam Betty, 6 Neil Best, 5 Dean Schofield, 4 James Percival (c), 3 Euan Murray, 2 Aleki Lutui, 1 Matt Mullan.
Replacements: 16 Ed Shervington, 17 Ceri Jones, 18 John Andress, 19 Craig Gillies, 20 Jake Abbott, 21 Paul Hodgson, 22 Danny Gray, 23 Josh Matavesi.
Northampton: 15 Ben Foden, 14 James Wilson, 13 George Pisi, 12 Tom May, 11 Jamie Elliott, 10 Stephen Myler, 9 Lee Dickson, 8 GJ van Velze, 7 Phil Dowson, 6 Samu Manoa, 5 Mark Sorenson, 4 Courtney Lawes, 3 Tom Mercey, 2 Dylan Hartley (c), 1 Soane Tonga'uiha.

Posted on 01/11/2013 8:19:51 AM PST by kristinn
Paycheck looking lighter? How are you adjusting spending after the payroll tax-hike? Contact email@example.com or @langejason
clipping more coupons. someone has to pay for the president's 4 million dollar golf vacations.
Actually, there should have never been a "payroll tax cut", so the "payroll tax hike" is not a bad thing (given the premise that Social Security is here to stay for the next few years, anyway). The "payroll tax cut" was simply a move by 0bama to look like he was cutting everyone's taxes.
I am no longer sending money directly to Barack Obama to help him defray the expenses of those frequent Hawaii vacations.
co workers increasing the dependents on their ww2's....
Spending less on trivialities and more on ammunition and other staples.
Obama voters whining about their paychecks on Twitter:
I'll be cutting back on my 401K (or maybe eliminate) contributions.
As I see it, our 401K's will be the likely next target in the coming year(s). What is the penalty of early withdrawal of the entire 401K?
I might as well get something then nothing later on.
Lost about $150 every two weeks. Not amused.
My family is cutting back on spending in the private sector because more of our dollars are being forcibly taken by the public sector.
As others do the same, the private sector, from whom the dollars are extracted by the public sector, will shrink. The public sector will receive fewer and fewer dollars to consume.
It is the very simple equation seen most clearly in the host-parasite relationship. Eventually, both the host and the parasite die.

Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 provides a two percentage point payroll tax cut for employees, reducing their Social Security tax withholding rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent of wages paid.
So the Social Security Tax withholding rate returns to the 6.2% which was reduced by 2% for two years during 2011-2012.
Same here...I will probably have to decrease my 401k deferral.
The way I look at it I simply never got that raise last July. Also, for some reason my federal and state withholding went down.
"How are you adjusting spending after the payroll tax-hike?"
spending and saving less
Obama voters? Paychecks? Bless your heart.
I believe it's 10% plus the whole withdrawal is treated as regular taxable income, at your current marginal rate. If your entire withdraw was within the 15% bracket, for example, the total hit would be 25%.
I clicked on a random picture of one of the paycheck complainers.
A narcissistic Obama voter, who now wonders why he has less money.
There is NO payroll tax hike.
The SS payroll tax has been restored so that SS can go fback to pretending at solvency, unfortunately, you hear nothing about fixing Social Security itself or how much farther in the hole it's gone in the past two years.
10% penalty and 28% tax. Tax can either be paid off the bat or you can wait until end of year and put it on tax form as income.
If I had a 401K I would cash it ALL in now, no matter what the penalty, and buy as much low cost real estate (rental units especially) as you could get your hands on
I can't tell; I got a promotion/raise on 12/16, so my check went up.
After receiving my fist check today, I have discovered that I will be $350 per month lighter in the wallet. I, obviously not an Obama voter, am not happy in the least bit. Thank you very much GOPE.
Yes it is 20% Federal & there is a 10% penalty plus State Tax. I just recently cashed mines out even though it is not much. I got laid off last October 30, now my unemployment check is like $200 less than what I was earning when I was working. I do need the money and I regret opening a 401K when I should have instead saved it so I can have access to my money without penalties.
This is what I was given remember it is only estimate & I did took out a loan about 2 years ago and was being deducted from my paycheck so here is what I was notify of:
Total Gross Distribution $9,467.93
Cash amount to you $5,622.36
Loan distribution $1,762.62
State tax $189.36
Federal tax $1,893.59
Total Estimated Net Distribution $5,622.36
One of hubby's coworkers bought a house to rent out in a nice college town in TN a year ago. The last three tenants all stopped paying rent and when the sheriff was brought to the front door, they all said they had 90 days before he could evict them. Also, they all trashed the place and he has lost his butt on his investment and is just going to outright sell the house after this present tenant is gone. He ran background checks, credit checks and called their past landlords and everything checked out. The word is out that the landlord has no rights and that no one really needs to pay rent as the law is on the side of the tenant.
No, it is 10% penalty plus tax on the withdrawal as ordinary income. The rate would be dependent on the person's tax bracket as of the end of the filing year, as the income is lumped into current year's income. Miniumum = minimum.
No it was not a hardship withdraawl and fully understood the tax consequences. Yes it did allow hardship withdrawl but I did not fall into any of the catagories so I said hell with it and just cashed it out
This along with the FSA limit reductions of Obamacare will result in a $1200 tax increase for me. Of course all of this pales in comparison to the loss of purchase power I have suffered over the last four years due to the monetizing of the debt. I will gladly accept the $1200 loss if we can turn grocery prices back to where they were in 2008.
that sucks. in this economy, can't imagine why it's not a hardship to become unemployed.
If it was easy everyone would be doing it
I had tenants like that before
You're right it can be difficult but you learn to deal with people like that. They lie- you lie. Just tell the sherrif they moved out and are trying to move back when you dont want them.
Once their stuff is out of the building and in storage they will have to find another place to sleep that night.
I had a tenant who piled garbage up _ photographed the crap out of it and shovelled it out the window into my dump truck. When they showed up that evening I told them dont even bother coming in, they were evicted. Never heard a word from them afterwards
You gotta find good properties and be willing to WAIT for a good tenant- I passed up many, and demanded first, last, AND security deposit up front- if they could not do that they could not afford the place.
I also treated good tenants extremely well- I never raised their rent once they moved in- I had a 10 year tenant who was paying about half the market rate at the end and he was thrilled, kept the place clean and helped out with the whole building, and had no intentions of looking around for new place since his rent was so cheap.
Once again, if it was easy- everyone would be doing it.
I'm laughing my fanny off. The schadenfreude I'm getting from watching leftist heads exploding is worth the price I pay.
I put a buck in my good-feelings jar every time I tell a Lefty, "How's it feel to be one of the rich?"

Carmen Eileen Wilson
Carmen Eileen Wilson, a lifelong resident of this area, passed away at Vista Grande Inn on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014, at the age of 88.
Carmen was born to J. Ward Robinson and Angela Kathleen Lofquist in Telluride on June 21, 1925. She was the oldest girl in a large family, so she learned to cook, clean, garden, and work outside with her dad at an early age. When she was young, the family lived at Bear Creek, where she and her older brother, Jesse, would walk to Taylor Creek for school. The family moved to McElmo Canyon in the winters, where her father farmed.
Carmen married Merle E. Wilson on Oct. 18, 1943. To this union three children were born –DJ, Jeanie and Linda. They resided in the Lebanon area, where Merle farmed and Carmen labored with a huge garden.
Carmen worked at City Market for several years, later retiring from Montezuma County School District, where she was manager of the high school cafeteria.
Carmen and Merle enjoyed riding horses and fishing at Bear Creek. They loved to take grandchildren along for the day and sometimes a camp-out. Many great memories were made in the mountains.
Carmen enjoyed raising a garden, canning and sharing the fruits of her labor with friends and neighbors. She raised rose bushes of every color she could find. Visitors could always enjoy a piece of cake or pie, as Merle had a sweet tooth.
After retiring, Carmen joined the Pink Ladies Auxillary volunteering over 20 years and 6,500 hours helping others.
Carmen is survived by her children, DJ Wilson and wife Stanna of Copper Center, Alaska, Jeanie Hodges and husband Vic of Dolores, and Linda Marie Luna of Crestone; seven grandchildren: Shalmarie Wilson of Arlington, Wash., Debbie Hite and husband Brent of Dolores, Todd Wilson and wife Julie of Anchorage, Alaska, Tami Jones and husband Ty of Fruita, Alonda Singson and husband Erick of Barrow, Alaska, Wylder Wilson of Telluride, and Rio Coyotl of Crestone. Carmen was blessed with nine great-grandchildren: Natasha and Shannon Wilson, Ericka, Andrea, and Brooke Singson, Hunter and Tanner Hite, and Zoe and Kylee Jones.
Carmen is survived by four sisters, Marguerite Wesch of Dolores, Rosemary Hopkins of Mountain Home, Idaho, Joanne Odom of Soldotna, Alaska, and Carol Melton of Cortez. She was preceded in death by her parents, her only brother Jesse Robinson, youngest sister Barbara Faneuf, and her beloved husband Merle Wilson. They had shared 67 years of marriage before Merle's passing in 2011. After Merle's passing, Carmen moved into Madison House and later Vista Grande Inn.
Cremation has taken place and interment will be at the Lebanon Cemetery. At Carmen's request, no services are planned. Memorial contributions may be made to Madison House or the charity of choice.

Regular season basketball is the WOAT sport. Right up there with soccer. Id rather watch cricket. Playoff basketball is pretty good though. I usually tune in after the first round.
If you can understand baseball then I'm sure you'll be able to understand cricket.
Doesn't change the fact that cricket is the most boring sport of all time though.
Cricket ****ing love it, and im a Scot who knew.................

Northern Illinois quarterback Chandler Harnish felt good about the offense after Saturday's scrimmage, and there were plenty of reasons why.
Harnish and the No. 1 offense had no trouble moving the ball down the field on the first drive with a mix of runs and passes that resulted in a Chad Spann 7-yard touchdown run. Harnish led the offense to three scores in four drives on Saturday.
"Everyone just has a better football knowledge, just understands the philosophy of what we're trying to do as offensive unit and I think you can tell that," Harnish said. "The first couple of offensive drives, the offense, we just took it right down the defense's throat. And our defense is a good defense, you can't overlook that."
Harnish was efficient in his throws, completing 9 of 12 passes and didn't put himself or the offense in any danger. There were some issues with clock management in the two-minute drill, with the offense taking 20 seconds to get a play off at one point, but that was the only negative for the No. 1 offense today.
"You can't take things lightly with that defense," Harnish said. "You can't take one play off. They bring it and they bring it all the time. Today, we just got the best of them. They congratulated us today but I know on Monday when we get out there they are going to be fired up."
DeMarcus Grady did a nice job with the No. 2 offense as well, and had more success than the No. 1s in the two-minute drill as Grady led the team into field goal position, where Mike Salerno connected on a 47-yard field goal. Salerno also hit a 52-yarder that just made it over the crossbar.
"Overall, as a football team, we have much improvement to make but we're about where I thought we would be," NIU coach Jerry Kill said.
Grady threw one interception and it came when a pass tipped at the line fell into the hands of cornerback Chris Smith.
Grady would have been perfect through the air on the first drive if it weren't for cornerback Tommy Davis stepping in to break up a pass intended for Marcus Lewis. If you recall, Davis was switched from wide receiver to cornerback midway through the spring, and now he is playing his way into the cornerback rotation. At this point, I would say he has the inside track to become the nickel cornerback.
"I'm getting my eyes in the right spots, learning to focus in on my keys," Davis said. "I'm getting everything taken care of as far as what I have to take care of."
Davis also was happy to get a little extra coaching after practice from his dad, Tommy Davis Jr., who was a standout running back at Iowa State.
"That's my dad," Davis said. "He's getting into it."
Linebacker Cory Hanson continues to make plays on the ball in the air. In the past three days, I can count three separate plays where he dropped back into coverage, read the play and got at least one hand on the pass.
Running back Justin Anderson has been in-and-out of practice so far, but turned in a nice day complete with a touchdown run and he looked smoother on his footwork than he had been in previous practices. NIU coach Jerry Kill said Anderson has been dealing with toe issues and now has a wider shoe that should negate those troubles.
Freshman wide receiver Daniel Rodriguez again saw time with the No. 1 offense, but didn't see too many throws come his way. I think what today proved is that the situation at wide receiver is going to get even more muddled before it becomes clear. That's what happens when you have a lot of freshmen and inexperienced players in the mix. Willie Clark had one of his best days of camp while Perez Ashford wasn't seen too much. You could have flipped those names just two days ago.
Panan Tense started at right tackle with Kevin Skatrud on the sidelines again with a leg injury.
Freshman Jared Volk took about 60 snaps as the second-string center today.
The most surprising thing that happened today? With the referees working the scrimmage, I only counted four penalties. That's shocking to me considering how many young and inexperienced players NIU has on the field at any given time.
"That's unusual for a first scrimmage," Kill said. "So I thought the discipline was good."
Safety David Bryant had this to say about the state of the defense: "We're still working," he said. "We've got pretty much all of our stuff in but the small details and situational stuff we've got to work on. We have a lot of young guys that are starting to play now and they're starting to see some things they haven't seen."
In rookie ball, the most impressive performance came from freshman running back Antoine Kirkland, who ripped off a 33-yard run on his way to a 62-yard day. Although it's unlikely that Kirkland will play this season because of the glut in front of him at running back, Kill didn't rule it out after the scrimmage.
"I don't make those decisions until late," Kill said. "We'll just have to wait and see. The way things are in college football, you can't say you're not going to play anybody because of injuries ... You've got to have them all ready."

PRICE-Thomas Olen Green, age 82, passed away May 3, 2010 at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center from complications of a chronic lung disease.
Tom was born Dec. 14, 1927 in Washington, Pa. He grew up in a state orphanage until Guy and Mildred Montgomery became his adoptive parents whom he loved very much.
Married Marie Jensen from Orangeville on April 13, 1960 in Price.
Tom was a driller most of his life either working on local rigs or platform rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. He was a very hard working man who others say passed his many traits onto his children. He was full of love and compassion. His faith inspired those who knew him and he was a role model for his two boys and grandchildren.Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his son's and their families. He loved the outdoors, working in his yard, feeding the wild birds with his hand made bird feeders and caring for his two best buddies, his cats Banjo and Missy. His hard fought battle with pulmonary fibrosis and silicosis which lasted years showed everyone how to have a positive attitude despite their illness.
Survived by his wife Marie Jensen Green; his two sons, Gary (Julie) Green, Jeff (Kristi) Green; grandchildren, Gary T. Green, Stephanie M. (Tony) Ghirardelli, Jeffrey M. (Carrie) Green, Alex T. Green; great-grandchildren, Julianna M. Ghirardelli, Gracie C. Green and Kennan M. Green; and his adoptive mother, Mildred Montgomery.
Preceded in death by his adoptive father, Guy Montgomery.
Funeral service, Saturday, May 8, 2010, 11 a.m., Price Chapel-Christian Missionary Alliance, 611 Price River Drive, with Pastor Dan Samuelson and Pastor Arville Patton officiating. Family was at the church Saturday one hour prior to service. Interment, Cliffview Cemetery, Price.

At the risk of annoying any readers I may have in The Old Country, why not make a pizza that ignores the sauce and cheese model all together? Let's call it a flatbread.
I was looking for a sauce that would be rich like cheese, tangy like tomatoes, and free of bizarre ingredients. Tahini fit the bill: nothing but ground roasted sesame seeds, a creamy base for tart flavors. A google search told me that some people use a tahini-miso mixture on pizza, but I'm tired of miso, too, so I decided to experiment. My first try was mostly unadulterated tahini, with only a touch of lemon and garlic, slathered on a wheat crust. It tasted good but the tahini dried out and looked curdled.
I did a little more research and experimental mixing, and came up with two good options. The first reminds me of the creamy lemon sauce I used to eat on Bertucci's pizza when we lived in Massachusetts and I ate dairy. The second tastes more like traditional pizza and was a big hit with my husband. Neither sauce requires anything more complicated than measuring and mixing.
1/4 cup tahini
2 tsp chopped garlic
1 lemon, juiced (about 3 TBSP)
2 TBSP warm water
freshly ground black pepper
Put everything in a bowl and whisk until sauce is a uniform consistency.
1/3 cup diced tomatoes (I used canned, but fresh would work)
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp thyme
Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree.
You can use any crust or toppings you like. I spread each sauce on a small wheat crust (see below), and topped them with rosemary, red onions, kalamata olives, marinated artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes. I baked them at 425F for 15 minutes.
wheat crust: I followed these directions, but used 1/2 white, 1/2 wheat flour, and I kneaded it a second time for about 5 minutes. It made enough for one large and two small thin crust pizzas. The edges were pretty crispy, but the interior was nice and chewy.
I'm feeling triumphant, because these flatbreads really hit the spot. Take that, cheeze!

NORD gratefully acknowledges Melissa B. Ramocki MD, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Section of Pediatric Neurology and Developmental Neuroscience, Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital, for assistance in the preparation of this report.
MECP2 duplication syndrome is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a wide variety of symptoms including low muscle tone (hypotonia), potentially severe intellectual disability, developmental delays, recurrent respiratory infections, speech abnormalities, seizures, and progressive spasticity, a condition characterized by muscle stiffness that is worsened with movement and can be associated with involuntary muscle spasms. Additional symptoms can occur. MECP2 duplication syndrome is caused by the duplication of genetic material on a specific region on the X chromosome (Xq28). This region includes the MECP2 gene and typically several adjacent genes. In most cases, the MECP2 duplication is inherited in an X-linked manner; in rare cases, the duplication may occur randomly for no apparent reason (de novo duplication). The disorder predominantly affects males, but females who carry the duplication on one X chromosome (heterozygotes) may exhibit some signs of the disorder. In specific, rare cases, females can develop a severe form of the disorder similar to males.
One of the first descriptions in the medical literature of this disorder as a distinct neurological entity was by Lubs et al. in 1999. The discovery that microduplications involving the MECP2 gene on the X chromosome cause a distinct neurological disorder (now known as MECP2 duplication syndrome) was first reported in the medical literature in 2005. Mutations of the MECP2 gene are known to cause Rett syndrome, a neurological disorder that primarily affects females. These disorders are sometimes grouped together as MECP2-related disorders.
MECP2 duplication syndrome is characterized by a wide variety of symptoms. Although researchers have been able to establish a clear syndrome with characteristic or "core" symptoms, much about the disorder is not fully understood. Several factors including the small number of identified cases, the lack of large clinical studies, and the possibility of other genes influencing the disorder prevent physicians from developing an accurate picture of associated symptoms and prognosis. Therefore, it is important to note that affected individuals may not have all of the symptoms discussed below. Parents should talk to their children's physician and medical team about their specific case, associated symptoms and overall prognosis.
One of the initial signs of MECP2 duplication syndrome may be feeding difficulties during the first few weeks of life likely resulting from diminished muscle tone (hypotonia). Affected children may also experience difficulty swallowing, gastroesophageal reflux and excessive drooling. Affected children will often fail to gain weight or grow at the expected rate for age and gender (failure to thrive) and may be at risk of aspiration, however, some infants experience no recognized problems in the newborn (neonatal) period and concern is not raised until other developmental milestones are missed.
Children with MECP2 duplication have moderate to severe intellectual disability and experience delays in attaining developmental milestones including sitting and crawling. Consequently, walking is also delayed and, in some cases, individuals develop an unsteady, uncoordinated gait. This abnormal gait can result in the development of exaggerated inward curvature of the lower spine (lumbar hyperlordosis). As affected individuals grow older, they may experience neurological regression that ultimately results in the loss of previously acquired skills such as the ability to walk.
The majority of affected individuals do not develop the ability to talk. Some individuals may be able to speak a few words during early childhood or have a limited use of speech, but frequently this ability is progressively lost during adolescence. Most affected individuals have better receptive language skills (i.e. understanding what is said to them). In rare cases, some boys do retain the use of speech into adulthood.
In many affected children, hypotonia may progress to spasticity, a condition that is generally defined in the medical literature as an abnormal increase in muscle tone or stiffness of affected muscles. Spasticity can be associated with muscle spasms, increased deep tendon reflexes, and fixed joints (contractures). Spasticity affects the legs more severely and, over time, mild to severe contractures of the hips, knees and ankles may develop. A contracture is a condition in which a joint becomes permanently fixed in a bent (flexed) or straightened (extended) position, completely or partially restricting the movement of the affected joint.
Approximately 50% of individuals develop seizures by some estimates. However, the true prevalence of seizures by adulthood may be much higher. The age of onset varies from early childhood to the second decade of life. In some individuals, seizures may not respond to treatment (refractory) and the onset and severity of seizures may correlate with neurological deterioration (e.g. loss of speech, hand use, and ambulation). Seizure types that have been reported in individuals with MECP duplication syndrome include head/neck and trunk drop attacks, absence seizures, myoclonic seizures, and generalized or secondarily generalized tonic-clonic or simply tonic seizures (once known as grand mal seizures).
Some individuals with MECP2 duplication syndrome experience dysfunction of the immune system, which causes them to be prone to recurrent infections such as respiratory tract infections. Affected individuals may develop recurrent pneumonia that is sometimes severe requiring mechanical ventilation. Middle ear infections (otitis media) and sinusitis are also common. Additional infections have been reported including meningitis or urinary tract infections. Recurrent infections can cause life-threatening complications.
Many individuals with MECP2 duplication syndrome meet formal criteria for diagnosis with an autism spectrum disorder due to poor expressive language skills, abnormal social affect, and restricted/repetitive behaviors. Mood disorders such as anxiety sometimes occur.
Affected individuals often have clinically significant constipation. Bladder dysfunction has also been seen. According to some reports, affected individuals may have chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIP), a condition characterized by abnormalities affecting the involuntary, coordinated muscular contractions (peristalsis) that propels food and other material through the digestive system. Symptoms may develop due to obstruction of the small bowel and can include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal swelling and constipation. Ultimately, normal nutritional requirements cannot be met leading to unintended weight loss and malnourishment. The acute onset of GI symptoms such as abdominal pain, unusual distension, or vomiting warrants urgent medical evaluation as it can precede life-threatening complications.
Individuals with MECP2 duplication may have distinctive facial features including an abnormally flat back of the head (brachycephaly), underdevelopment of the middle of the face (midface hypoplasia), ear anomalies, large ears, deep-set eyes, prominent chin, pointed nose, and an abnormally flat bridge of the nose.
Additional findings have been reported in some cases of MECP2 duplication syndrome including pre and postnatal growth retardation, abnormally small head circumference based upon age and gender (microcephaly), and underdeveloped (hypoplastic) genitalia. Affected males may also experience failure of the testes to descend (cryptorchidism) and have the urinary opening located on the underside of the penis (hypospadias) rather than at the end.
Although MECP2 duplication syndrome is primarily associated with males, females can develop mild symptoms of the disorder or, in rare cases, a severe form of the disorder. Some researchers have noted that women who have a MECP2 duplication on one of their X chromosomes (heterozygote or carrier females) may be prone to developing neuropsychiatric features including depression, anxiety, and specific personality traits. In addition, recent reports have identified women (i.e., women with unfavorable X-linked inactivation) who developed some symptoms of the disorder including recurrent infections, poor speech development, or seizures. In rare cases, females may have a genetic abnormality, known as a translocation, which involves the X chromosome and a non-sex chromosome (autosome). Females with this specific underlying genetic abnormality may develop a severe form of the disorder similar to that seen in males. For more information, on X-linked inactivation and translocations, see the Causes section below.
MECP2 duplication syndrome is caused by a genetic abnormality in which a portion of the X chromosome appears three times in the cells of the body instead to twice (duplication). By definition, the affected region always contains the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene. Most cases involved have very small duplications called microduplications, but larger, more complex rearrangements (e.g. translocations) can also cause the disorder. Depending upon the exact size and location of the duplicated area, additional genes are also duplicated. The duplication size is unique to each affected family or individual.
Investigators have determined that the MECP2 gene is located on the long arm (q) of the X chromosome (Xq28). Chromosomes, which are present in the nucleus of human cells, carry the genetic information for each individual. Human body cells normally have 46 chromosomes. Pairs of human chromosomes are numbered from 1 through 22 (autosomes) and the sex chromosomes are designated X and Y. Males have one X and one Y chromosome and females have two X chromosomes. Each chromosome has a short arm designated "p" and a long arm designated "q". Chromosomes are further sub-divided into many bands that are numbered. For example, "chromosome Xq28" refers to band 28 on the long arm of the X chromosome. The numbered bands specify the location of the thousands of genes that are present on each chromosome.
The MECP2 gene contains instructions for producing (encoding) a protein called MeCP2. This protein is essential for normal brain function and most likely has several different functions in the body. Researchers believe that the protein may regulate other genes in the brain by switching those genes on and off. The presence of an extra copy of the MECP2 gene leads to overproduction (overexpression) of the MeCP2 protein. This overexpression is believed to impair the protein from functioning properly within the body. Researchers believe that the more excess protein produced the worse the associated symptoms. In extremely rare cases, affected males have MECP2 triplication, in which there are two extra copies of the MECP2 gene. In these cases, MeCP2 overexpression is greater and the associated symptoms have been more severe.
Researchers have recently discovered that MECP2 overexpression can impair the function of the immune system. The immune system is divided into several components, the combined actions of which are responsible for defending against different infectious agents (i.e. invading microscopic life-forms [microorganisms]). One specific part of the immune system affected in this disorder is the T cell system, which helps to fight several viruses, some bacteria and yeast and fungi. Researchers believe that MECP2 overexpression suppresses the secretion of a protein known as interferon-gamma from certain T cells leading to a partially immunodeficient state. More research is necessary to determine the specific pathogens that affect individuals with MECP2 duplication syndrome and how to best treat the abnormal immune system.
In most cases, male children inherit the disorder from a carrier mother who has favorable skewing of random X-chromosome inactivation and no symptoms or extremely mild symptoms of the disorder. When a mother is a known carrier of the MECP2 mutation, there is a 50% chance of passing that mutation on to her children. In extremely rare cases, the duplication that causes the disorder occurs randomly for no apparent reason (de novo duplication). Affected males can also develop the disorder due to a translocation involving the X chromosome and a non-sex chromosome (autosome). In such cases, the parent's chromosomes are unaffected and the disorder is not inherited.
Random X-chromosome inactivation is a normal process in females. Females have two X chromosomes, whereas males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. In females, certain disease traits on the X chromosome such as a mutated gene may be "masked" by the normal gene on the other X chromosome (random X-chromosome inactivation). Basically, in each cell of the body one X chromosome is active and one is turned off or "silenced". This occurs randomly and generally happens as a 50-50 split. However, in some cases, females may have favorable X-inactivation, in which the affected X chromosome is silenced in most of the cells. In such cases, they may only have mild symptoms of the disorder. In other cases, females may have unfavorable X-inactivation, in which the unaffected X chromosome is silenced in most of the cells. In such cases, affected females usually have a severe expression of the disorder.
In the initial reports, most women with a MECP2 duplication have had preferentially favorable X-inactivation (near 100% inactivation of the duplication-bearing X chromosome). As previously discussed, these women generally have no symptoms or only mild symptoms of the disorder. However, recent reports have identified women, in whom, the percentage of cells with the duplication-bearing X chromosome is more numerous. Consequently, these women have developed symptoms of the disorder.
In addition, in rare cases, females with a MECP2 duplication have developed a severe form of the disorder similar to that seen in affected males. This occurs when an additional (concomitant) abnormality involving the X chromosome occurs, such as an unbalanced translocation. An unbalanced translocation occurs when a region of one chromosome breaks off and is attached to another chromosome, causing a shifting of genetic material. In these specific cases, the Xq28 region breaks off and attaches to an autosome (non-sex chromosome). Because the duplicated material on the X chromosome has been translocated to an autosome, this prevents the normal X-inactivation of the duplicated segment. An unbalanced translocation occurs randomly (de novo).
Unbalanced translocation involving the Xq segment can also cause MECP2 duplication syndrome in males. Translocation between the Xq segment and short arm (p) of the X chromosome, the Y chromosome, or an autosome has been reported.
As mentioned above, additional genes can be involved in the duplicated area on the X chromosome. These genes include IRAK1, L1CAM, FLNA and many others. It is possible that these genes contribute to the overall spectrum of disease associated with MECP2 duplication syndrome. The IRAK1 gene, which is involved in the immune system, is typically duplicated as well, even in individuals with very small duplications. Many individuals with very small duplications, involving only the MECP2 and IRAK1 genes, have developed the core symptoms associated with the disorder. However, larger duplications that contain additional genes may be associated with other symptoms. For example, the FLNA gene is associated with gastrointestinal problems such as pseudo-obstruction and may be associated with a distinct clinical phenotype involving this condition. The exact role that these adjacent genes play in the development of MECP2 duplication syndrome is not fully understood. More research is necessary to determine to what extent additional genes play a role or influence the development of MECP2 duplication syndrome.
MECP2 duplication syndrome predominantly affects males. However, females may be affected by mild symptoms of the disorder and, in rare cases, a severe form of the disorder. The exact incidence and prevalence of MECP2 duplication syndrome in the general population is unknown. Because cases may go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, determining the disorder's true frequency in the general population is difficult. Approximately 130 male individuals from 36 different families have been reported in the medical literature. It has been estimated that approximately 1% of unexplained cases of X-linked intellectual disability may be due to MECP2 duplication syndrome.
A diagnosis of MECP2 duplication syndrome is based upon the identification of characteristic symptoms, a detailed patient history, a thorough clinical evaluation and a variety of specialized tests. It should be included in the differential diagnosis of male infants with hypotonia.
Clinical Testing and Workup
There are a variety of tests that can be used to diagnose MECP2 duplication syndrome including array comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH). This test can detect the gain or loss of chromosomal material including microduplications.
Additional tests that can confirm CGH results or for direct clinical testing include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fluorescent is situ hybridization (FISH) analysis, chromosome microarray SNP analysis, and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). PCR is a laboratory technique that has been described as "photocopying". It enables researchers to enlarge and repeatedly copy sequences of DNA. As a result, they are able to closely analyze DNA and more easily identify genes and genetic changes.
A FISH test can be used to determine a person's karyotype. A karyotype is a visual representation of a person's chromosomal makeup (i.e. the 46 chromosomes in a cell). The FISH test can detect chromosomal abnormalities such as duplications or translocation.
Chromosome microarray SNP analysis uses probes that can detect chromosomal abnormalities including microduplications, including those that are the underlying cause of many cases of MECP2 duplication syndrome.
The MLPA test is a relatively new method for assessing chromosomes and can detect certain chromosomal abnormalities including those associated with MECP2 duplication syndrome.
In cases where a parent has a known genetic abnormality (i.e. carrier mothers), pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) may be an option. PGD can be performed on embryos created through in vitro fertilization. PGD refers to testing an embryo to determine whether it has the same genetic abnormality as the parent. Families interested such an option should seek the counsel of a certified genetics professional.
The treatment of MECP2 duplication syndrome is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. Treatment may require the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists. Pediatricians, surgeons, pediatric neurologists, gastroenterologists, psychiatrists, speech pathologists, and other healthcare professionals may need to systematically and comprehensively plan an affected child's treatment. Genetic counseling may be of benefit for affected individuals and their families.
Treatment options that may be used to treat individuals with MECP2 duplication syndrome are complex and varied. The specific treatment plan will need to be highly individualized. Decisions concerning the use of specific treatments should be made by physicians and other members of the health care team in careful consultation with an affected child's parents or with an adult patient based upon the specifics of his or her case; a thorough discussion of the potential benefits and risks, including possible side effects and long-term effects; patient preference; and other appropriate factors.
Early developmental intervention is important to ensure that affected children reach their potential. Most affected children will benefit from occupational, physical and speech therapy. Various methods of rehabilitative and behavioral therapy may be beneficial. It is essential that therapies are continued on a year-round basis to promote development of new skills and to prevent regression. Some children who lose skills are able to re-learn them with intensive therapy. Additional medical, social and/or vocational services including special remedial education may be necessary. Psychosocial support for the entire family is essential as well.
Other treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Additional therapies for MECP2 duplication syndrome depend upon the specific abnormalities present and generally follow standard guidelines.
Some general therapies common for infants or children include monitoring feeding and swallowing difficulties. Insertion of a feeding tube through a surgical opening in the stomach (gastrostomy) may be necessary to ensure proper nutritional support and to prevent aspiration.
Drugs may be used to treat a variety of symptoms associated with MECP2 duplication syndrome. Anti-seizure medications (anti-convulsants) are usually effective in treating seizures; however, in a subset of cases these medications do not work (refractory seizures). In some cases, drugs may be used to improve spasticity and muscle rigidity, but can be ineffective or potentially worsen the condition. Working with a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist to treat spasticity is recommended. Prompt treatment of spasticity may prevent the development of contractures.
Because of the susceptibility to infections, when affected individuals develop an infection, they should be treated immediately and aggressively with appropriate antibiotics. Recurrent infections, especially respiratory infections, can be severe enough to necessitate hospitalization and require assisted (mechanical) ventilation. Individuals who develop recurrent pneumonia should be evaluated by an immunology specialist since medical interventions including the use of prophylactic antibiotics and/or immunoglobulin therapy are indicated in some cases.

Skip to comments.Antiabortion group releases videos of clinic workers discussing [how they kill] live births
Posted on 04/29/2013 10:36:10 AM PDT by grundle
An antiabortion group that mounted a six-month undercover investigation has released videos this week that raise questions about what might happen to a baby as a result of an unsuccessful abortion.
One video features a D.C. doctor, Cesare Santangelo, who said that in the unlikely event that an abortion resulted in a live birth, we would not help it. Santangelo was answering repeated questions from an undercover operative about what would happen, hypothetically, if she gave birth after an unsuccessful abortion.
I mean, technically, you know, legally, we would be obligated to help it, you know, to survive, but . . . it probably wouldnt, Santangelo is shown telling the woman, who was 24 weeks pregnant. Its all in how vigorously you do things to help a fetus survive at this point.
Live Action president Lila Rose said the groups videos expose truly gruesome, illegal and inhuman practices. She defended the tactics, saying undercover investigations are a powerful method to expose abuses.
Live Action plans to release more videos as part of a campaign targeting clinics that perform abortions late in pregnancy, also known as late-term abortions. It claims that the videos show that abortion doctors are willing to kill babies in violation of the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002, which requires them to try to save a child born during a failed abortion using the same measures used in miscarriages or preterm births at the same stage of pregnancy.
Another video released Sunday shows an unidentified worker in the Bronx saying the clinic would put the baby in a jar of solution that would cause it to stop breathing.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Grim, but necessary. May The Lord have mercy upon us.
I meant the video was grim, but necessary.
With every one of these stories, the credibility of legal abortion preventing the equivalent of "back alley abortions" crumbles yet further.
...."the credibility of legal abortion preventing the equivalent of back alley abortions crumbles yet further.".....
They just may be better off in back alley abortions!
I'm literally lightheaded after reading. No way i;'m watching. In a solution? State sanctioned murder. People against the death penalty protest outside abortion clinics?
I guess that's what the face of pure evil looks like.
Did you read the last sentence? The doctor in DC called the pro-lifers terrorists.
Antiabortion : Antilife :: ProChoice : Prolife
Use it.
Political correctness is a form of the Antichrist, as told to me by an intelligent priest in good standing with the Catholic Church.
Do not fall for it.
It's not "state sanctioned," since it violates the Born-Alive Infants' Protection Act. But a law has to be enforced in order to mean anything.
If he's terrified of Hell and the pro lifers are reminding him that's where he's going for ever with no parole eternity then, ok, but it is not they it is Hell itself that's terrorizing, and, by the way, the only true terror.
BO worked against the BAPA I thought it was not enforced
I've found myself pondering that exact same question in recent days. Do the same people who protested so vigorously against the death penalty intend to do so outside abortion clinics?
Very recently Gov. O'Malley signed into law a ban on all death penalties here in MD. So I foud myself wondering "Will those people I know for a fact demonstrated every week outside the penitentiary against capital punishment FINALLY join those praying outside abortion "clinics" here?" They do at least call themselves "Catholic" after all.
Something tells me they won't. Which disgusts me to no end (I'm Catholic).
No "Doctor", YOU are the terrorist. A terrorist who murders babies. Choke on that bit of truth you murderous subhuman scum.
What also "crumbles" is a previous view of doctors as being interested in preserving human life. What also crumbles is the idea that human beings are kind and merciful to children. Abortion has resulted in humans being seen as evil destructive entities who are no longer trustworthy in the capacity of baby protectors. 50 years ago abortion would have been seen as the evil demoralizing thing it really is. God help us all.
"Abortion has resulted in humans being seen as evil destructive entities who are no longer trustworthy in the capacity of baby protectors. 50 years ago abortion would have been seen as the evil demoralizing thing it really is."
Abortion was one of the "crimes against humanity" cited at Nuremberg. People who would watch an infant born alive struggle until dead have the same mentality as Nazis herding people into gas chambers or Bolsheviks lining people up for firing squads: they really think they are saving the world.

Sometimes the best ways are the old ways...
When if a mother wanted to kill her child she would strangle it with her own two hands after it was born instead of outsourcing her sin to a disinterested third party so that she may wash her hands from the sins....
From a previous response of mine:
Make Abortion Illegal..
Legalize Infanticide as long as it is performed by the mother, withing one day of birth, and can only be done bare handed by strangling....
Having a doctor basically do the same thing is taking the responsibility out of the hands of the mother and putting it onto the doctor. Put the responsibility back into the hands of the mother. By literally putting them back into the hands of the mother.
This is how you really make abortion a rare thing as the Pro-Abortion morons were whining about before roe v wade judicial overreach.
Abortion is nothing more but the Outsourcing of Mortal Sin
So if a mother doesnt want the child, she has two choices, give it away with no questions asked, or strangle it with her own hand within 24 hours of it being born.
We have turned Doctors into mockery of the do no harm by outsourcing this sin....
I know is sounds brutal and inhumane and immoral, but we sanitize the whole act of abortion by outsourcing it to doctors and pretending that the mother are doing nothing but ordering a hit on their children....
Abortion appears no where in the Constitution. Yet we're told it's a right that has to be protected.
If our government protected guns the way they protect abortion you would see:
1) Courts striking down all gun legislation.
2) Media would refuse to air any real arguments against guns. Moreover, Hollywood media heroes would fight against out of control gun regulators.
3) Government would fight any attempts at registering, regulating or tracking fire arms.
4) Laws banning the transport of guns over state borders would be thrown out.
5) People under the age of 18 could buy guns without their parents consent or knowledge.
6) The government would be supplying us all with guns and ammo, regardless of how poor you are.
7) Our schools would teach about guns and gun safety.
8) The government would crack down on protesters outside of gun stores.
9) All gun store records and receipts would be protected from outsiders on the grounds of "privacy".
Note that most guns never kill or injure anyone.
Most abortions result in someone dying.
People injured or killed by guns include a large age range from 1 year old to 100 years old. Some of these people are injured because they are doing bad things.
People injured or killed by abortion include those who are 9 months and younger. The only crime they are committing is not being out of the womb.
But no one talks about regulating abortion.
-— that raise questions about what might happen to a baby as a result of an unsuccessful abortion. ——
The Compost deserves its reputation.
Let the abortionists put their money where their mouth is. If all a fetus is is a growth in a female uterus accidentally caused by sex, will they eat one?
Political correctness is a form of the Antichrist, as told to me by an intelligent priest in good standing with the Catholic Church.
This is truly bizarro world, where nothing is as it seems and those who non violently support life are terrorists.
It seems "Eurasia has always been at war...with the unborn." (now)
Why are we talking about trivia like dead babies? The real news today is that a pro basketball came out of the closet.
Oh, I know, I know!
Did you hear?
And Michelle gave them her support!
Oh, and the terrorists mom spoke again today. Very interesting!
These mothers are complicit.
The terrorist mom spoke up? I'll have to check it out. She is wacko
Oh, please don't give her the ratings. She is used for propaganda.
I'm glad this wacko is speaking up. She is living proof that crazy jihadists exist. She is proof that Muslim terrorists are a threat. People like her are willing to blow up little children in the street. Her wild-eyed radicalism is evident to the whole world. Her sons have her genes and parenting and became mass murderers.
Lord God, please forgive the sins of our nation and turn us back to you. Mercy Lord, Mercy. Amen
Those who favor abortion "rights" are demanding the innocent be executed.

if man must continue to murder—and he must—then let it be in the back alley. evil will always be with us, but it is good to force evil into hiding at every turn. that is the best and most pure function of our delegated soverign authority. if that is not the purpose of government, then there is no point in having government at all.
It's sickening .
They call what is wrong right and what is right wrong.
As a nation we have murdered what almost amounts to 20% of population since they made abortion legal , yet we let murders live .
We have elected a man to the highest office in the land who as a senator chose to pretty much abstain from every vote yet he voted against protecting babies that survived an attempted abortion .
This blood will be required of this nation .
I too am Catholic but you know i think all that matters is we're all human beings. That's it. Pretty inclusive club. Among this group of humans some seem to believe it's wrong to take the life of one who has taken the life of another but can convince themselves it's just fine to snuff out the life of one without sin.
Incredibly disgusting philosophy. Maybe they sleep at night knowing the newborn can't articulate its will to live? Maybe its the thought that if the mother doesn't want it then there's no reason to care?
I have no idea how these people salve their supposed conscience. I cannot understand how they can reconcile two contrary stances for the exact same act.
'Better for him (them) that a great millstone... '
The abortion boosters were so wrong; so are the
American people as a whole who sanction abortion; many even applaud it. I don't think they can learn.
Socialists in America and elsewhere don't see this as "bloodshed" and "murder" but as "sexual freedom." That's all that matters to many calling themselves "Americans".
