Memorial's state streak ends
Madison without a team in Division I play
MADISON, Wis. - The Boys Basketball State Tournament field is set; and for the first time in a decade, the Madison area won't have a team in Division One.
Saturday in Sun Prairie, Madison Memorial played Mukwanago in the D1 Sectional Finals. The Spartans controlled the first half, leading by as many as 11. The second half was a different story, as Mukwanago chipped away at the lead and Memorial struggled with turnovers. Mukwanago took the lead with a little over two minutes left in the game, and won 55-52.
The loss snaps Memorial's run of nine straight years advancing to state.
In D2, two local teams battled as DeForest and Stoughton played for the right to go to the Kohl Center. Stoughton jumped out to a fast start, holding a ten point lead at half time. DeForest stormed back in the second half, cutting the lead to one with less than a minute to go in regulation. Stoughton made their free throws down the stretch to win 55-51.
The Vikings will play Wisconsin Lutheran Friday at 3:15 p.m.
In Division Three, Lodi and Wisconsin Dells played for the second time this year, this time in Middleton; and the results were different. Lodi jumped all over the Chiefs as they looked to avenge an early season loss to the Dells. Shane Wimann kept the Chiefs in it, leading his team with 17 points, but Brady Moses poured in a game high 20 points for Lodi, as they won 73-59
Lodi will play East Troy Friday at 10:30 a.m.
In Division Four, Cuba City looked to keep their undefeated season alive as they played Onalaska Luther in Baraboo. The Cubans dug themselves into a 10 point first half hole, before rallying in the second half. The teams were tied at 58 at the end of regulation and went to overtime. In the extra stanza, the Cubans seized control, winning 77-74.
Cuba City will play Dominican Thursday at 8:15 p.m.
Finally in D5, Randolph continued their dynastic run as they defeated Racine Lutheran 44-30. The Crusaders kept it competitive in the first half, trailing 13-10 at the end of the first quarter, and 22-14 at halftime. Randolph never relinquished control, and are headed back to state.
Randolph plays Elmwood Thursday at 3:15 p.m. All games are at the Kohl Center.

Research firm Canalys, which has been somewhat conspicuous in the last year or so for its practice of counting tablet computers as part of the overall PC market (Gartner and IDC, for example, keep them separate), today predicted that the industry will ship 285 million tablet computers in 2014, making up "almost 50% of all PC units."
Apple's (AAPL) iPad, and Samsung Electronics' s (005930KS) "Galaxy" line of tablet computers, are expected to "keep ahead of their competitors in the medium term" but could face trouble further out, the firm says. The list of entities threatening Apple and Samsung includes, well, pretty much every vendor in the world who so far has failed to have any meaningful market share.
Apple's number-one ranking in total personal computer shipments — again, counting the iPad, not just the Mac PC business — will be helped by the release introduction of the iPad Air and the refreshed iPad mini, the firm believes, but Apple will lose some share overall because it insists on making profit, states Canalys's Tim Coulling:
Its desktop and notebook business has remained stable while other vendors have seen their shipments deteriorate. Apple's prioritization of protecting gross margins will see its PC market share continue to decline [...] Samsung narrowly took the lead in EMEA this quarter and Apple will lose its position to competitors in more markets in the future. However, Apple is one of the few companies making money from the tablet boom. Premium products attract high value consumers; for Apple, remaining highly profitable and driving revenue from its entire ecosystem is of greater importance than market share statistics.
As far as challenges, devices running Google's (GOOG) Android operating system will go from laggards to leaders, taking 65% of the tablet market in 2014. Samsung faces the threat of incursions by low-price tablet vendors:
In Q3 2013, Samsung had a 27% share of Android tablet shipments. But with hundreds of small-to-micro brand vendors in established and high-growth markets and international players such as Acer (2353TW), Asustek (2357TW), Lenovo Group (0992HK), and HP, this market share statistic will also start to decline.
Microsoft (MSFT) is expected to take 5% of tablet PC shipments next year, up from 2%.
Oddly, the firm doesn't even mention Microsoft's Surface tablet computer, which recently was refreshed. Instead, Canalys focuses on Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's (NOK) handset operations. That deal makes Microsoft more of a "fully-fledged smart mobile device vendor," Canalys believes. But Microsoft has to rationalize its development environments by consolidating its two mobile offerings, Windows Phone, and Windows RT, the firm argues.

Photo of the Day: Mark "Fightshark" Miller and Nikolaj Falin
- Written by Dave Walsh
If for some reason you missed the Glory World Series Finals you missed one hell of a show. One of the most exciting moments of the night was Mark "Fightshark" Miller making his return from open heart surgery against Nikolaj Falin. The lead-up to the fight was huge here in the United States, with Mark making all of the media rounds and many fans who don't follow kickboxing were all of a sudden all-eyes on the world of kickboxing for this fight. Mark showed that hard work pays off with a one punch KO on Nikolaj Falin. Our photo of the day is to one of the most inspirational men I've ever known, in a photo with his opponent Nikolaj Falin and his trainer post-fight. Class acts.

Conduct disorder is a set of ongoing emotional and behavioral problems that occurs in children and teens. Problems may involve defiant or impulsive behavior, drug use, or criminal activity.
Conduct disorder has been linked to:
The diagnosis is more common among boys.
It is hard to know how common the disorder is. This is because many of the qualities for diagnosis, such as "defiance" and "rule breaking," are hard to define. For a diagnosis of conduct disorder, the behavior must be much more extreme than is socially acceptable.
Conduct disorder is often linked to
Children with conduct disorder tend to be impulsive, hard to control, and not concerned about the feelings of other people.
Symptoms may include:
These children often make no effort to hide their aggressive behaviors. They may have a hard time making real friends.
There is no real test for diagnosing conduct disorder. The diagnosis is made when a child or adolescent has a history of conduct disorder behaviors.
A physical examination and blood tests can help rule out medical conditions that are similar to conduct disorder. In rare cases, a brain scan helps rule out other disorders.
For treatment to be successful, it must be started early. The child's family also needs to be involved. Parents can learn techniques to help manage their child's problem behavior.
In cases of abuse, the child may need to be removed from the family and placed in a less chaotic home. Treatment with medicines or talk therapy may be used for depression and attention-deficit disorder.
Many "behavioral modification" schools, "wilderness programs," and "boot camps" are sold to parents as solutions for conduct disorder. There is no research to support these programs. Research does suggest that treating children at home, along with their families, is more effective.
Children who are diagnosed and treated early usually overcome their behavioral problems.
Children who have severe or frequent symptoms and who are not able to complete treatment tend to have the poorest outlook.
Children with conduct disorder may go on to develop personality disorders as adults, particularly antisocial personality disorder. As their behaviors worsen, these individuals may also develop problems with drug abuse and the law.
Depression and bipolar disorder may develop in the teen years and early adulthood. Suicide and violence toward others are also possible complications.
See a health care provider if your child:
Early treatment may help.
The sooner the treatment for conduct disorder is started, the more likely the child will learn adaptive behaviors and avoid potential complications.

Faculty selected to give President's Lectures
Posted September 14, 2005; 10:04 a.m.
Three distinguished Princeton faculty members have been chosen to make presentations as part of this year's President's Lecture Series.
The series was started by President Shirley M. Tilghman in 2001 to bring together faculty members from different disciplines to learn about the work others are doing in a variety of fields.
Here is the schedule for the 2005-06 academic year:
- On Monday, Oct. 17, Bonnie Bassler, professor of molecular biology, will speak. A 2002 recipient of a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant," she investigates bacterial signaling and has discovered finely tuned systems by which bacteria communicate with other members of their species and with other species. The research may be useful in developing new antibiotics.
- On Thursday, Dec. 8, Paul Muldoon, the Howard G.B. Clark '21 University Professor in the Humanities, will read from his new poems. He won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for poetry for "Moy Sand and Gravel," his 25th volume of poetry and the ninth collection of his poems. He also has published in the fields of drama, literary criticism, translation and children's literature.
- On Monday, April 10, Katherine Newman, the Malcolm Stevenson Forbes, Class of 1941, Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs, will speak. Her interests lie in the qualitative study of social stratification, with a special emphasis on the cultural meaning of mobility, work, poverty and violence. She recently finished a book, "Chutes and Ladders: Navigating the Low Wage Labor Market," which completes her eight-year study of African-American and Latino service sector workers.
All lectures will begin at 4:30 p.m. in 101 Friend Center. They will be Webcast.

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things
on Television
The Esso Tiger, first used by Humble Oil, a division of Esso, was originally a friendly and
lovable feline akin to A. A. Milne's "Tigger." Later in the campaign, however,
the Esso tiger's amiable persona became more ferocious, and energetic to reflect
the power and punch of their gasoline products.
The success of the ad campaign prompted Time magazine to proclaim 1964 as "The Year of the Tiger along Madison Avenue."
The Esso Tiger was retired in the late 1960s but resurrected in 1972 when Esso changed its name to Exxon. Their ad slogan stated "We're changing our name, but not our stripes!"

Apa Sherpa, who has climbed Mount Everest more times than any other person, will speak in Steamboat Springs later this month.
Sherpa will appear at the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel for a benefit for two Sherpas who died on the world's highest mountain this spring.
Steamboat Springs Middle School teacher Matt Tredway, who was a member of the Team No Limits expedition on Everest in May, was instrumental in arranging Apa Sherpa's visit.
Tredway said he is committed to raising funds for the families of Lhakpa Tseri and Dawa Temba. The two sherpas were working for Team No Limits when they died in the Khumbu Ice Fall, an extremely dangerous section along the climb toward Everest's summit.
The sherpa are an ethnic group from the most mountainous region of Nepal, where the Himalayas dominate the landscape.
Many sherpas are highly regarded for their mountaineering skills and ability to perform in high-altitude conditions. Many teams that attempt to summit Everest employ sherpas to haul gear and guide them up the deadly mountain.
Tredway was turned back from his summit attempt by a health crisis of his own, but he remains energized by his trip to the top of the world.
"Apa has climbed Everest 16 times. He will give a slide show on Everest and answer questions," Tredway said. "He's very engaging and unbelievably humble."
Apa Sherpa will speak at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Burgess Creek Room at the Steamboat Grand. Donations to the Lhakpa Tseri and Dawa Temba Memorial Foundation will be accepted at the door.

Judge allows electronic poker at Madison casino
Case might be appealed
MADISON, Wis. - A federal judge said the Ho-Chunk tribe can continue to offer electronic poker at its Madison casino.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb ruled an arbitrator exceeded his power and did not have authority to ban the game. The dispute with the state is over how electronic poker is classified. The Ho-Chunk says it's Class II gaming, which the tribe can offer without a compact. The state argues electronic poker is Class III gaming, which does require a compact.
Ho-Chunk Madison said electronic poker brings in a full house of new customers.
"We have our regular slot machines. But this brings in a new group of people, and it's worked out for us very well," said Dave Abangan, Ho-Chunk Madison director of marketing.
The case centers on whether electronic poker is considered Class II or Class III gaming. Only Class II games, where players are playing against each other, are allowed at Ho-Chunk Madison under an agreement with the state.
"That's the difference. It's playing against the house versus playing against other people. All of our games here, you're playing against other people. It's not against the house," Abangan said.17686634
Madison Mayor Paul Soglin said he opposes electronic poker at the casino.
"We hope the state would be successful in limiting the facility to Bingo," Soglin said. "We're a little distressed as to how broad the definition of Bingo is."
Soglin said he's waiting to see if the state will appeal the federal decision.
"We're going to have to see whether or not they've moved from Class II to Class III," Soglin said. "If that's the case, we'll have to sit down with the state as a partner and see what this means in terms of potential revenue for the city."
In 2004, Madison voters had the opportunity to allow Class III gaming into the area. The referendum failed to pass.
Department of Justice spokeswoman Dana Brueck told the State Journal a decision has not been made on whether to take the case to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.

A year of repression: Bahrain continues crackdown on press
In the year since peaceful protests began in Bahrain on February 14, 2011, the government has targeted the press corps with assault, detention, harassment, and torture to obstruct their coverage. My organization, the Gulf Centre for Human Rights, has documented a systematic campaign by authorities to silence coverage of our country's unrest. Here are just some of the many attacks on the press:

Dont wave your phony patriotism in MY face! If you really love America, open your wallet and hire an American kid to build what you buy. Doug Fraser (paraphrased) 1980
Real Americans buy American.
Here's my experience with union - both sides - Grew up in a RTW state, SD. Buzz the good union man lives there now. You have to ask yourself "why did his company choose to locate there?"
1st experience with a union was the Mine Mill in Butte - as a contract miner, paid my dues, & made money through my & my partners hard work. Later worked in a sales position part time - union dues not required until I outsold the regulars & all of a sudden, dues were required including back dues, so I quit. There were no student loans so times were pinchy my last 3 months in school, but I survived.
Then went to work as a trainee at Climax Molybdenum - shift boss 8 months later - union contract specified that a miner was vested after 30 calendar days. I fought a lot of grievances but learned a lot about the psyche of people who only want to draw a paycheck. I have always felt the boss set the standard for his crew & you were not doing someone a favor who was not performing to keep them onboard. I also got hardworkers who were unable to perform the work underground reassigned to other jobs where they could be productive. Needless to say I got my job done but left that company over their promotion policy.
Next it was back to Butte as a Shift Boss at a mine that was reopening - same union I had belonged to as a miner, only now I am administering the contract. The company had a hiring hall so men could be discharged with impunity & go back to work that afternoon on swing shift. The president of the union also made the same as the lowest paid underground employee, which I thought to be . I was later made an Assistant Foreman & had many good discussions about union with our guy who kept the Mine Dry (Locker Room) clean along with the Mine Office. He knew I was not a union sympathizer but explained how it had been prior to a union being in Butte & he made some good points, Much to the shock of management I left that job after 3 1/2 years (with a clear path to the top) over a salary dispute, which was one of the smarter moves of my career.
Back to Boeing - as an engineer, basically a beginner, made the same salary for a 40 hour week (with only myself to answer for) that I had been making for a 66 hour week in Butte with 400 men & 15 shift bosses to look after. The thrill of being in charge goes away quickly when there is little money left over & getting time off was unheard of.
At Boeing I joined the Engineers Association, paid my dues, & generally stayed out of affairs except for input about negotiations. It generally boiled down to things being put into our contract that management & the unrepresented needed. Drug treatment being a good example - most engineers are pretty square, as a group they don't do drugs & I would imagine their children follow that. I was asked once to be a negotiator but felt their was too little an understanding by the rank & file of engineers about what negotiations were so turned that down. The Association then began allowing other than engineers to belong & over the years it has gone from professional to just another union. Which culminated in the longest white collar strike in history a few years back.
We worked alongside the machinist union members - I have great respect for the mechanics & tooling people - beyond that, the majority of the union members are overpaid for their contribution. It is small wonder Boeing moved another line to SC (another RTW state) to gain some labor negotiation traction. We saw how the BHO administation viewed that.
& while I was doing all that I was a School Board member & chair of the negotiations committee for 5 1/2 years - I have sat face to face with the teachers - & trust me most don't like engineers, you may pick your reason, I have mine - It was an experience & the 1st time they had faced a situation where if they wanted something, what were they willing to give in return? So those are my experiences with a lot of detail left out -
There are 4 factions to this union thing - 1) private union workers, 2) private union hierarchy, 3) public union employees & 4) public union hierarchy. My sympathies only lie with !) the private union workers, to a point, but they are in the position that getting too greedy could mean their job relocates, whether it be overseas or stateside. When you change providers there will be a lowering of quality, for how long is a question, but the folks who count the beans don't really care. & that's the way it is .

Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
I was not expecting a resume Marvin, but thank you. I am gone for the weekend but will reciprocate Monday.
There are fleeting indications in there that you may be a somewhat reasonable guy! Scary! Actually, I thought you put me on your ignore list 10 years ago when I called you a bitter old man in a thread about your judging database. I thought at the time it left a mark but maybe not. Or maybe it did and you are over it. Or maybe you now see an opportunity to get even and are just sucking me in.
You commented that you left a couple jobs over promotion and salary disputes. Without prying into personal issues, I wonder if you care to expound? Were you seeking to improve your lot in these situations or did you think the company was being too generous? Thats none of my business, so ... just wondering.
Have a good weekend.

As for the jobs thing - the 1st company I left was one that did not base promotions on merit, the second company based them on merit but was unwilling to pay. When I left the 2nd company I had to go talk to the VP of Western Operations before they would give me my last check. I wasn't in the room 5 minutes when I realized I had made the right choice in leaving.
I was also lucky enough to work for some really good managers during my maturation on the management side, as this was the days those on the practical side (meaning sans a sheepskin) were numerous & they were a wealth of knowledge for someone willing to listen & observe the results of their efforts. As I thought about this the 1st company was very strict about appointing their practical guys on merit but those with a sheepskin not so much so. The 2nd company was the opposite - merit on the educated side, on the practical side not so much so which may have been due to the fact the best guys were contracting & could easily beat a shift bosses salary with less hours.
My reason for the brief resume was to put those on notice who are supporters of public employee unions without realizing (or maybe they do) that there is a difference & they need to be able to defend their position. I'm really waiting for some of those out of MN, MI & Buzz to add their . I have no shortage of war stories about this subject just waiting for the experts to line up their weaponry .

Everyone's friend is No One's friend
Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
My brief resume tops yours in quantity by an 1093 - 827 margin. Part of my weaponry is to wear you down with pure verbiage.
brief: concise in expression; using few words. introductions were brief and polite.
I graduated high school in 1956 not knowing what I wanted to do next. I had no way to pay for college, even if I could have worked for room & board. A couple of upper classmen friends had joined the Navy and convinced me that may be a good option ... earn the GI bill and go to school later.
After boot camp I qualified for sonar school and through that experience, developed an interest in getting on a submarine. I applied and by the time I was approved, I had to extend my enlistment obligation to get into submarine school. Best duty in the USN and the entire military, by far! It is a culture in itself and grows a young kid up in a hurry!
Come time to be discharged, I was married with the first of my 5 beautiful daughters and the 2nd on the way. College is on the back burner again. I had some Navy training in electronics (sonar maintenance) and was qualified for a job in that field but I stumbled into the employment office at John Deere and found work at nearly twice the earnings. For a kid in my situation, that was a no-brainer.
I went to work in the foundry. (This was a 1960 foundry ... not the modern ones of today. Most on this forum have never even walked through one. Hot, dirty, stinky and hard, hard work, with high turnover. But the pay was good.) Work in the agricultural implement factories was seasonal at that time and I was laid off after about 6 months. By the time I was called back a year later, I had landed a job as a route salesman/driver for Wonder Bread. Long hours, 6 days a week but the work was enjoyable and the pay was comparable and I had decided I was going to make my career there, so I declined recall to Deere.
After 5 years, circumstances changed on the bread route and Deere was hiring. I returned there in 1966. Back to the foundry where most all new employees start. After a time, I amassed enough seniority to get a job in a metal stamping/pressing department. And later, on to assembly line work.
Labor/management relations were contentious at that time, far more so than anywhere today. As I gained experience in the real world I began to take a greater interest in our UAW contract and in the role of the union in general. I was encouraged by my peers to run, and was elected as shop steward. Over time, I earned the respect and confidence of my co-workers and local union leadership and was approached to move up
I served my local UAW membership in various capacities for 25 years, including as vice president. We were/are the largest local union in the state, representing the 3 Deere plants in our town; engine manufacturing, component manufacturing, and assembly. We had a over 12,000 members the first time I stood a plant-wide election.
side note:
During this time, I was also approached several times by management to accept various salaried positions. This was a common practice on the part of management, partly because you have proven your effectiveness in executing your union responsibilities, (they wanted you) and partly because you have proven your effectiveness in executing your union responsibilities, (they wanted you out of their hair). Though the bennies were much better, that route did not look attractive to me for a number of other reasons.
Among my specific areas of responsibility was overseeing our incentive pay system, a sophisticated, Frederick Taylor based model developed by management industrial engineers and accepted by the union as a part of our contract. I was trained by the company in the same classroom along with the new IEs and my role was to investigate grievances related to that system and resolve them jointly with the company. I was also involved with our CAP (Community Action Program), the political action committee. This was largely weekend conferences, meetings, etc. to educate ourselves and stay abreast of political issues as they affected our members.
I was prodded numerous times by upper union officials to accept appointments to International Union positions but I was looking to downsize my travel and weekend commitments, not expand them. Plus, moving to Chicago ...
After about 20 years, my dream job came along. In the early 80s, the buzz word in labor/management became Employment Involvement. John Deere and the UAW agreed to launch such an effort with the help and guidance of an outstanding management consulting firm specializing in this stuff. One of our local plants was selected as a pilot for that program. By now I had returned to school, completely through night classes at the University of Northern Iowa. As a psychology major, I had become fascinated with the subject of job enrichment; the design of the work process itself, team building, and all that stuff. I was offered the chance to be the union coordinator and work jointly with a middle management counterpart appointed by the company. I jumped at it and we shared the same office full time and headed up that effort for the last 10 years of my working life. We were joined at the hip in what would have been political suicide for each of us, had we not been committed to the effort. Through the success we had, the program was adopted throughout the Deere chain. Our experiences and the impact we had on the relationships from the front corner office to the shop floor, AS WELL AS the effectiveness of our business operation, would fill many books! To this day, I talk occasionally with my counterparts and reminisce about the way things changed and what we had to do with it.
I dont know much about the inner workings of trade unions other than what I have learned through casual conversations. Neither do I have any direct experience with public sector unions, but I do know a little about them as my wife was a teacher for 34 years.
I am proud that, during my career, I earned the respect and friendship of a great many folks; constituents, members of upper management and upper union officials. At my retirement party, I choked up numerous times, not because I was leaving work, but because of those who came to wish me well. Some I had not seen for years ... including a couple former plant managers, one who had moved on to become a corporate VP.
Dont wave your phony patriotism in MY face! If you really love America, open your wallet and hire an American kid to build what you buy. Doug Fraser (paraphrased) 1980
Real Americans buy American.
Unions strong arm part time workers and steal their money while providing no benefits or representation that they promise.
When I left - I did not inform my bosses until that day, so they had to promote one of my guys . Took everyone to lunch & when they asked informed them that this was probably the only free lunch they would get in their life, as I wanted nothing from them . I really enjoyed what I did, the adrenalin rush of keeping a line moving is hard to duplicate & especially one where you are moving acoup[le of 30 mil or more units out the door daily.
Still waiting for the experts on unions to weigh in .

Everyone's friend is No One's friend
Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
Being a former unionista when going to school in Mpls. Voted it in, and voted it out. A small company of only 15. It was needed when we voted it in, and no longer necessary when we voted it out.
The best 'documentary' on unions is a book authored by Linda Chavez/ Daniel Grey. Being a former union official, she has the insight to "tell it like it is", and it's understandable why the Democrat party doesn't want this book to be read by anyone. Some Democrats SHOULD be reading this, so they get knowledgeable about where their dues are going.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Uncle Bill, once again you demonstrate that you look at the world through a toilet paper tube. You briefly belonged to a small union local until it served your needs (I am surprised you admitted that much) and then you "dropped out", retaining the benefits. Is that your definition of a "unionista"? I always wondered what that meant.
Then you cite a single "documentary" that will tell folks all they want to know about the labor movement. Not surprising coming from someone who appears to get ALL their "news" ... using that term loosely ... from a single source. I would look that book up had the suggestion come from someone with credibility, but you lost yours long ago by repeatedly posting misinformation and outright lies without bothering to check their factuality. (the last one, even including a self-debunking link! Really!?) Thing is, I have not only read a number of anti-union writings, I have lived it. However I can provide you with some reading sources depicting the positive side, but I imagine you would not want to waste your time with that. Wrong "facts".
Broaden your horizons and then come back and talk to me.

Dont wave your phony patriotism in MY face! If you really love America, open your wallet and hire an American kid to build what you buy. Doug Fraser (paraphrased) 1980
Real Americans buy American.
Dues keep the lights on at the union hall and pay the business manager and assistants salary and and cost associated with them doing there job. If the membership believes that they are misusing these funds and not doing their job the vote them out. I portion of it go the international office and it does the same there too.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Locational Privacy
Yesterday, EFF and its allies Public Knowledge and the Center for Democracy & Technology filed an amicus brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down under the First Amendment a North Carolina law that bans "registered sex offenders" (RSOs) from using all Internet social media. This law sweeps far too broadly. Social media are one of the most important communication channels ever created. People banned from social media are greatly handicapped in their ability to participate in the political, religious, and economic life of our nation.
You probably don't expect the government to log and track your personally identifying information, despite having broken no laws, just because you attended an event at the fairgrounds. That would be preposterous in the Land of the Free.
But, according to the Wall Street Journal, federal agencies have joined forces with local police to deploy automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology at gun shows, with the aim of collecting attendees' plate information—without an explicit target. Gun show patrons are typically concerned about their Second Amendment rights, but what about the First Amendment?
From cell-site simulators in New York to facial recognition devices in San Diego, law enforcement surveillance technologies are spreading across the country like an infectious disease. It's almost epidemiological: one police department will adopt a new, invasive tool, and then the next and the next, often with little or no opportunity for the citizens to weigh in on what's needed or appropriate for their communities. Sometimes even elected officials and judges have no idea how technologies are being used by the police under their supervision.

Batman Bust
Dear Alibi,
[Warning: spoiler alert] I thoroughly enjoyed 2005's Batman Begins. But I'm bewildered by the apparent love affair with Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. This new film is truly a Batman for the Bush/Cheney era. One minute our Caped Crusader is flying off to Hong Kong to perform extraordinary sedition, the next he's dropping a man off a high rise and breaking his ankles to interrogate him.
How did this brutal, grisly, black-hearted piece of ugliness ever avoid an R rating for violence? I would consider it for an NC-17, yet parents are rushing their kids to see it like it's a summertime superhero lark. Some might think shoving a grenade into the mouth of a paralyzed man, pulling the pin and walking away is a great joke. Ha, ha. I didn't. Ditto our lead villain's penchant for sliding blades into people's cheeks while regaling them with sadistic fantasies. I would rather have been waterboarded than sit through this interminable horror's gratuitous final half hour. If director Nolan was going for dark, he succeeded beyond belief. Not even the considerable talents of Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman could shine a light into this abyss.
The late, lamented Heath Ledger should have won Best Actor for his stunning work in 2005's Brokeback Mountain, but for The Dark Knight? Come on, now. Ledger's celebrated Joker is truly nothing more than a nasty, evil twin rehash of Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice from 1988. Same physical mannerisms, same verbal mannerisms, very nearly the same makeup. In short, everything but the striped suit. An Oscar for this Joker? The joke is on us. Let's look forward instead to Ledger's final performance in Terry Gilliam's Doctor Parnassus next year. Ledger gets top billing over Johnny Depp in that one—he'd better be good.

Um, Fido?
Dear Alibi,
[Re: Newscity, "On the Inside," July 24-30] Greta Roskom made three very important statements about students of jail-based charter schools:
1) "It's a full-fledged school with the same requirements of any other in Albuquerque."
2) "We're expecting them to be highly motivated, and we expect them to have perfect attendance."
3) "We expect our students to be respectful."
Items 2 and 3 don't apply to public schools. The glaring differences are the carrots and sticks available to the jail system that public schools don't have. Inmates understand the consequence of not following the rules. They get to stay in their cells. Public school students don't understand the carrot-and-stick approach even though it's well understood by dogs. Fido sits up and he receives a treat. Fido makes a mess on the floor and he gets the stick. Researchers use the carrot and stick every day to study lab animal behavior. But this technique is absolutely useless on a human teenager. They don't understand that good education = good job; bad education = bad back. Unfortunately, the stick is outlawed. So what's the fix? We need students that are as smart as Fido.
Health Care for All
Dear Alibi,
As an individual who has lived with the symptoms of bipolar disorder, I am asking for your help in passing the full mental health parity bill. An agreement was recently made on the terms for a final full mental health parity bill by the Senate and House negotiators.
I have been fortunate to have had full insurance coverage for most of the years I had suffered with severe symptoms. I am now symptom-free with the right medications and the health maintenance tools I've learned to stay well. I am concerned for those who do not have insurance. For years, efforts to end discrimination in health care insurance coverage for mental illness have failed in Congress, despite having a bipartisan majority of supporters. Now with passage by both the House and Senate of separate mental health parity bills (H.R. 1424/ S. 558), we are literally at the door of ending this terrible discrimination.
Parity makes sense and is affordable. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that providing mental health parity would increase health care costs by less than 1 percent. At least one in five Americans suffers from a mood disorder or other mental illness. These individuals should be afforded the same level of insurance coverage as those with a physical illness.
Please do all that you can to work with your colleagues to pass the full mental health parity legislation this congressional session.

A Deadly City
Dear Alibi,
[Re: Second Look, "A Deadly City," July 24-30] I've lived here nearly all my life and have watched APD ignore one crime after another. I live in the Northeast Heights, where it is supposed to be significantly safer. I still hear shootings; I see cars getting broken into; I hear about people getting robbed and drugs being sold. Where are the police? Probably busting people for minor traffic violations. I don't depend on police for my safety anymore as it has become apparent that they don't even care. If you want to protect yourself from crime in this city, buy yourself a gun and install some security cameras. I've visited many large cities including Seattle, Houston, Los Angeles, Portland, Phoenix, Vancouver and Salt Lake City. Excluding Los Angeles, Albuquerque is by far the most violent city I've seen. Then again, who knows? Maybe every big city is just as violent, but I doubt it.

The OpenStreetMap crew met here in Victoria again tonight. We ended up short a few people, due to that evil thing known as work, so it was only Jason, Tobias and I. After just over two hours of driving and walking, pretty colours were made:
Tobias & Jason's tracks in purple and green, respectively and myself in yellow.
Tobias and Jason ended up walking around Cedar Hill Golf Course and all the little connecting trails to the roads, as well as driving east of Mt. Tolmie while I biked just south of Cedar Hill X Rd and also just south of McKenzie Avenue.
Sadly we just missed the planet dump day, when the default rendering gets redone, so we will have to wait another week to see our work there.
We didn't decide on the next date, due to lack of people attending, so the announcement of the next party will have to wait.

text: By the way, I haven't read the whole thread & maybe I should, but we're all aware global warming isn't the only environmental problem we face, correct? To name just one, we have a garbage-patch twice the size of Texas floating around in the pacific ocean. I really don't understand the notion that all these people trying to set-up environmental regulations is really a conspiracy to make profit.

Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells bring oxygen to body tissues.
There are many types of anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is a decrease in the number of red blood cells in the blood due to a lack of iron.
This article focuses on iron deficiency anemia in children.
Anemia - iron deficiency - children
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia. You get iron through certain foods, and your body also reuses iron from old red blood cells.
Iron deficiency (too little iron) may be caused by:
Babies are born with iron stored in their bodies. Because they grow rapidly, infants and children need to absorb an average of 1 mg of iron per day.
Since children only absorb about 10% of the iron they eat, most children need to receive 8-10 mg of iron per day. Breastfed babies need less, because iron is absorbed 3 times better when it is in breast milk.
Cow's milk is a common cause of iron deficiency. It contains less iron than many other foods and also makes it more difficult for the body to absorb iron from other foods. Cow's milk also can cause the intestines to lose small amounts of blood.
The risk of developing iron deficiency anemia is increased in:
Iron deficiency anemia most commonly affects babies 9 - 24 months old. All babies should have a screening test for iron deficiency at this age. Babies born prematurely may need to be tested earlier.
Iron deficiency in children also can be related to lead poisoning.
Note: There may be no symptoms if anemia is mild.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. A blood sample is taken and sent to a laboratory for examination. Iron-poor red blood cells appear small and pale when looked at under a microscope.
Tests that may be done include:
A measurement called iron saturation (serum iron/TIBC) often can show whether you have enough iron in your body.
Treatment involves iron supplements (ferrous sulfate), which are taken by mouth. The iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach, but many people need to take the supplements with food to avoid stomach upset. Another way to increase iron absorption is to take it together with vitamin C.
If you cannot tolerate iron supplements by mouth, you may get iron by injection into a muscle or through a vein (IV).
Milk and antacids can interfere with iron absorption and should not be taken at the same time as iron supplements.
Iron-rich foods include raisins, meats (especially liver), fish, poultry, egg yolks, legumes (peas and beans), and whole-grain bread.
With treatment, the outcome is likely to be good. In most cases, the blood counts will return to normal in 2 months. It is essential to determine the cause of the iron deficiency. If it is being caused by blood loss other than monthly menstruation, further investigation will be needed.
You should continue taking iron supplements for another 6 to 12 months after blood counts return to normal, or as your health care provider recommends. This will help the body rebuild its iron storage.
Iron supplementation improves learning, memory, and cognitive test performance in adolescents who have low levels of iron. Iron supplementation also improves the performance of athletes with anemia and iron deficiency.
Iron deficiency anemia can affect school performance. Low iron levels are an important cause of decreased attention span, reduced alertness, and learning difficulties, both in young children and adolescents.
Excess amounts of lead may be absorbed by people with iron deficiency.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all infants be fed breast milk or iron-fortified formula for at least 12 months. The AAP does NOT recommend giving cow's milk to children under 1 year old.
Diet is the most important way to prevent and treat iron deficiency.
Good sources of iron include:
Better sources of iron include:

'Evil Maid' USB stick attack keylogs TrueCrypt passphrases
How the Evil Maid USB works
The provided implementation is extremely simple. It first reads the first 63 sectors of the primary disk (/dev/sda) and checks (looking at the first sector) if the code there looks like a valid TrueCrypt loader. If it does, the rest of the code is unpacked (using gzip) and hooked. Evil Maid hooks the TC's function that asks user for the passphrase, so that the hook records whatever passphrase is provided to this function. We also take care about adjusting some fields in the MBR, like the boot loader size and its checksum. After the hooking is done, the loader is packed again and written back to the disk.

Gophers survive Indiana for third straight win
Fumble at end of game seals victory for Minnesota
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Minnesota 42, Indiana 39: Philip Nelson threw four touchdown passes, including a game-winning 50-yarder to Maxx Williams with 3:06 remaining, as the Golden Gophers prevailed in a shootout with the host Hoosiers.
David Cobb rushed for 188 yards on 29 carries for his third consecutive 100-yard rushing game for Minnesota (7-2, 3-2 Big Ten), which has won three straight games. Nelson finished with a career-high 298 passing yards and Derrick Engel had two receiving touchdowns.
Nate Sudfeld threw for two scores and Tre Roberson tossed one for Indiana (3-5, 1-3 Big Ten), which has lost three consecutive games. Tevin Coleman, who has scored in every game this season, and Stephen Houston combined for 219 rushing yards.
Trailing 13-7 in the second quarter, the Golden Gophers exploded for 28 consecutive points. Nelson threw for two scores as Minnesota took a 28-13 lead into the break and the lead reached 22 on Cobb's 27-yard scoring run in the third quarter.
The Hoosiers' offense, which ranked eighth in the nation in points per game (42.4) coming into the contest, came alive in the second half with 26 straight points. Nelson threw his final touchdown pass to Williams and Minnesota's defense recovered a fumble by Coleman at its own 9-yard line with 25 seconds left to prevent the Hoosiers from getting a last-minute score.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Minnesota OL Jon Christenson was carted off the field with a leg injury in the second quarter. ... The Golden Gophers are 7-0 when leading at halftime. ... The Hoosiers have scored 28-plus points in nine straight games - a school record.

By Jim Gazzolo / American Press
Big names in sports don't often come around these parts.
Big events either for that matter.
When they do, sometimes we seem to miss them completely, or treat them like horseplay.
For sure it happens at least once a year, just around this time.
Before the turkey meets the stuffing, some big names in horse racing come to town. Well, at least they go to Vinton, which is just on the outskirts of town.
They will head to Delta Downs for its annual Jackpot Day, one in which the horse racing world sets at least some of its focus on Vinton. That might come as a bit of a surprise to many in the area who pay little attention to Delta Downs, Vinton or speedy horses.
The race track and casino is nationally known but often locally overlooked.
In this football-crazed part of the country, few things matter in the fall than what happens on the gridiron. Here, the pigskin far outweighs horsehide.
Often that leaves us missing out on a big part of the action and excitement.
While LSU and McNeese State play their final home games of the year on Saturday, the chase for next spring's Kentucky Derby will race right through our own backyard. Locals will hardly give it the time of day, either not to care about it at all or take the fact we have a world-class racing facility close by for granted.
The annual Jackpot Day arrives with all the local excitement of a spring shower. Sure you will hear about it, maybe even notice it a little, but it's hardly anything to get all worked up about.
At least that's the way the locals will view it. To others, this is a big event.
Money will come flowing in from all over, especially Texas, as Delta Downs plays host to a day of big-time horse racing.
It is worthy of a second look if not more.
Highlight of the afternoon is the Delta Jackpot, which features promising 2-year-olds whose owners, trainers and jockeys have their sights set on a much bigger prize down the road.
While the million-dollar purse for the Grade III race gets a lot of attention — it is the second-richest race for 2-year-olds in North America, behind only the Breeders' Cup Juvenile — all parties on hand have higher aspirations.
For them, this is one of the major stepping stones to next year's Kentucky Derby and thus the dream of the Triple Crown. If you don't think so, understand last year's Derby-winning jockey, Mario Gutierrez, and trainer, Doug O'Neill, will team up Saturday again and run Know More in Vinton.
And while the Jackpot has yet to produce a Derby champion, several winners from Delta Downs have gone on to not only race at Churchill Downs but also had long and productive careers.
Clearly, the Kentucky Derby is the major leagues of horse racing, but all those thoroughbreds that have raced their way to the legendary event have had to spend their time in the minors, working their way up.
For them Vinton is somewhere around Double-A.
Several horses have gone on to run well in Kentucky.
This year marks the 10th running of the Jackpot, which dates to 2002.
While that might not add up, the event's history mirrors the area it calls home.
Delta Downs was damaged during Hurricane Rita, causing the entire race season, including the Jackpot, to be lost. Some wondered, like the area, if racing would ever return. It has and become bigger and better than ever.
It adds up to a little racing, a few bets, maybe you might even see a future Derby champ along the way.
And if one of those bets work out, you could end up making a little hay.

Fires to the east :( have created "clouds" that have cooled the near-100s to the low-90s temps. Breezes aren't helping the fires, but at least the air isn't so "heavy" and humid.
Another day in the high 80's, d@mn this weather sucks.
We had actual rain. And not just cheapo sprinkles; it stayed wet on the ground, you could feel the drops. If I were driving, I'd have needed wipers on. It cooled the temps, but the humidity still made it ugh-worthy outdoors. Hope some of it was by the fire zone.
It hit 80ish today, but we didn't have the humidity of last week so the heat wasn't "as bad."
2 weeks ago it was in the high 80's and humid as bleep, then last week it was barley in the 70's, today was more of the same with temps in the low 70's.
Weather has been nearly perfect every day since I got back from Comic-Con. Friday was the first day since then that was warm enough to actually do some swimming. Damn confusing July with these 70-degree days.
"Cooled" down to the upper 90s for the past few days. We've been hammered by triple digits for most of the summer. This is the seventh hottest summer on record in my area. We've "enjoyed" temps from 100º to 110º for the most part. We won't cool off until October when we will see highs in the 80s.
Cool! Literally. Forget the post above!
Sneaky low pressure has been sneaking cool air from the Pacific into the Central Valley causing our temps to top out in the upper 80s. Feels like Fall! Wish it would stay but it won't.

- Vivaldi - Concerti for cello and orchestra
ANTONIO VIVALDI celebratedscorned lovedhated An excellent joueur de violon et compositeur mediocre was the description of his fellow-Venetian, the playwright Carlo Goldoni; and one Uffenbach must have been overwhelmed when he heard the maestro himself play a fantasy (i.e. a cadenza) which really terrified me, for such has not been nor can ever be played: he came with his fingers within a mere grass-stalks breadth of the bridge, so that the bow had no roomand this on all four string with imitation and at incredible speed. He was a controversial figure; many found his concerti wild and disorderly; in contrast others found them written on the contrary, in too simple and conventional a style (Johann Joachim Quantz). Whatever the final judgment might be, Vivaldi was rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century after 100 years of oblivion.
One important reason for this was the discovery that J.S. Bach, who had always remained popular, had copied many of Vivaldis works, primarily in order to study them and later on to make respectful use of their material in transcriptions or arrangements. It must be established here that Vivaldi composed in a manner which, rather than conventional and easy-going, was on the contrary extremely inventive and varied. Even in his apparently simple and conventional works, the listener can enjoy the numerous subtle formal quirks and the constantly unpredictable asymmetries, e.g. in the phrasing of independent parts. One encounters extravagant melodies, often with wide, unconventional leaps of large intervals; in contrast there are also movements where there is no melody at all, but rather an ingenious series of arpeggiated chords which provide a consistently suspenseful sense of progression. It is true that the harmonies can initially appear somewhat superficial and transparent; but a closer examination may well reveal that Vivaldis highly characteristic harmonic rhythmthe length of time that elapses between changes of fundamental harmony, combined with changes in colour which are frequently extremely sharp, such as abrupt alternations of major and minor as well as chords of the seventh, ninth, eleventh, and even thirteenth, can produce a continually changing and imaginatively shaded harmony. The abovementioned superlatives, incidentally, also apply to the purely rhythmic aspects of this music: the ingenious use of hemiola, disguised dance rhythms, lombardic swing, and straightforward dotted rhythms guarantee an ever-present pulse of life. It is not surprising, then, that Antonio Vivaldi had numerous later imitators, regardless of his critics. Vivaldis concerto style, in particular, with its consistent use of the ritornello form and the three-movement construction presaging the later symphony, accounted for much of his popularity. His LEstro Harmonico, op. 3 (Etienne Roger, Amsterdam, 1711), was an extremely popular and influential publication in its time.
The composition, purely for pleasure, of solid, euphonious music, often with programmatic content, with well-thought-out orchestrations (typified, for example by placing the bass line in the soprano register, or a subtle alternation between 8 and 4 foot registrations), with virtuosically detailed articulations, and, above all, with an inexhaustible daring and enthusiasm, stamps Vivaldi as a most unconventional composer. His individuality and expressivity would surely not have been out of place some 100 years later in the midst of the so-called Romantic period, and it is no doubt this timelessness which his contemporaries could not or would not understand. Antonio Vivaldis passion and wit have lost none of their freshness today. The works on this CD are firm and incontrovertible evidence of everything just described. Livelier, more original, more romantic, more varied, more refined, more sentimental, more joyful, more impassioned, more whimsical, sadder, or more sensual music can hardly be imagined. Walter van Hauwe, November 1996

A. Vivaldi Concerti Pieter Wispelwey, violoncello/piccolo & Florilegium
Pieter Wispelwey is one of the first of a generation of generalist specialists, performing equally outstandingly on historical instruments as on modern instruments, based on and inspired by expert stylistical knowledge, highly original and deep musical understanding and superior technique. His repertory ranges from works by J. S. Bach to Elliott Carter, Kagel, Schnittke and young contemporary composers. Pieter Wispelwey was awarded the Elizabeth Everts Prize, an award given biennially to the Netherlands most promising musician in 1985. In 1992 Wispelwey received as first cellist the highly prestigious Netherlands Music Prize. For many years he has given complete, widely acclaimed, performances of the suites for cello solo by J.S. Bach and Britten and the sonatas by Beethoven and Brahms, on period as well as on modern instruments. Pieter Wispelwey is a regularly returning guest in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, performing the baroque, classical, romantic and modern repertory.

(...) Wispelwey sleurt je mee met zijn fascinerende en stormachtige spel. Florilegium heeft in de snelle delen weinig moeite om hem te volgen en in de gedragen largo's bewijst het ensemble met schitterende klankkleuren dat het is uitgegroeid tot een topgroep. (...) Belgium Review, March 1997
(...) De fraaie kroon op Channels eerste honderdtal is er dus. (...) Luister, January 1997
(...) Wispelwey kan zo heerlijk in de klank gaan hangen, dat een Largo als dat uit een van de vioolconcerten een sensuele sfeer uitstraalt. (...) (...) hij speelt de Allegro's echt "lekker", met een zucht hier en een snuif daar, in een zelfde animerende geest begeleid en omspeeld door het voortreffelijke Florilegium. Trouw, February 1997 (...)

Wispelwey vertelt een verhaal, sleept de luisteraar mee in duikvluchten vol opwinding en sombere schreden van een wanhopig hart.

(...) Inventief, geraffineerd spel (...) (...) Speelser, gedrevener en grilliger kan eigenlijk niet. (...) Leeuwarder Courant, March 1997
It's not often that a befuddled, over exposed critic is moved to tears, and even less often thrilled to the point of turning academically unnerved by a recording's brilliance. Just about the time one thinks he's heard it all, some revelation like this comes along to transform everything one has been thaught or discovered about a given composer or period. (...) but I've never before encountered a disc which so utterly delighted me, or so thoroughly transformed my vision of the composer's worth. (...) (...) What Pieter Wispelwey does for this disc is refurbish and renovate playing that's almost inhuman in its intelligence as well as craftsmanship. (...) (...) Intonation, articulation and timbre sound magnificent (...) (...) the superb support of Florilegium , the British Baroque Orchestra. How they manage to maintain such ensemble and balance during the breakneck speed of the very quick movements, is anybody's guess. Enchanting!! (...) (...) A special bravo is due the continuo players, who subtly shift around between theorbo, baroque guitar, harpsichord or small organ. And they're recorded as they ought to sound, as a kind of backdrop halo of harmonic support. No small part of that is due to Channel's customized recording equipment and production staff, which produces one of the finest sonic achievements of recent years. This release joins the elite of great recordings, performances that will likely to be enjoyed for as long as music endures. (...) (...) If you think Vivaldi a bore, try this and experience conversion. In Tune Magazine, February 1997
Pieter Wispelwey is a knock-out, he plays with a freedom and intensity that brings these works to life. Birmingham Evening Mail, May 1997
Giudizio tecnica: Ottimo Interpretazione: Ottima (...) allora questa un'occasione da non perdere. CD Classica, June 1997
Klar und transparant Klangbild. (...) Wispelwey und das Ensemble Florilegium musizieren enorm lebendig, farbig und abwech,ungsreich. (...) (...) Selten hat man Cellokonzerte von Vivaldi so vielfltig abschattiert, so kontrastreich und so eloquent gehrt. (...) Fono Forum, June 1997
(...) the playing is imaginative (clearly) and technically brilliant. Definitale a pop item. (...) American Record Guide, October 1997 (...) This is possibly the most persuasive account of Vivaldi's Concerto's i've ever heard, and it's also a highly intelligent use of the CD as a medium. (,..) (...) This is surely a must for any Vivaldi enthusiast. The Strad, September 1997
(...) Cellist Pieter Wispelwey certainly recognizes the poetic muse in Vivaldi's writing, and he is admirably supported throughout by the strings of Florilegium. (...) (...) The performances are invigorating, imaginative and very effectively recorded, allowing the listener to revel in the rich sonorities of Wispelwey's playing. (...) he deserves to be heard if only for the sheer exuberance and technical accomplishment of the playing. Gramophone, August 1997
(...) the supreme ease and artistry shown by the Dutch cellist and his predominantly English colleagues: you will be hard pressed to find better string ensemble (...) Early Music Review, May 1997 Florilegium and Pieter Wispelwey- as skilful and persuasive a team as you could wish for. (...) (...) A splendid CCS release. Record Review, april 1997 (...) Wispelwey's beautiful playing will captivate and astonish. I've never heard no finer Vivaldi performances than these. Classic CD, May 1997

Drug-induced lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disorder that is brought on by a reaction to a medicine.
Lupus - drug induced
Drug-induced lupus erythematosus is similar to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is an autoimmune disorder. This means your body attacks healthy tissue by mistake. It is caused by an overreaction to a medicine.
The most common medicines known to cause drug-induced lupus are:
Other less common drugs may also cause the condition. These may include:
Symptoms tend to occur after taking the drug for at least 3 to 6 months.
The health care provider will do a physical exam and listen to your chest with a stethoscope. The doctor may hear a sound called a heart friction rub or pleural friction rub.
A skin exam shows a rash.
Joints may be swollen and tender.
Tests that may be done include:
Most of the time, symptoms go away within several days to weeks after stopping the medication that caused the condition.
Treatment may include:
If the condition is affecting your heart, kidney, or nervous system, your doctor may prescribe high doses of corticosteroids (prednisone, methylprednisolone) and immune system suppressants (azathioprine or cyclophosphamide). This is rare.
Guard against too much sun exposure when the disease is active by wearing clothing and sunglasses and using sunscreen.
Most of the time, drug-induced lupus erythematosus is as severe as SLE. The symptoms often go away within a few days to weeks after stopping the medicine you were taking.
Avoid taking the drug that caused the reaction in future. Symptoms are likely to return if you do so. Get regular eye exams to detect any complications early.
Call your health care provider if:
Watch for signs of a reaction if you are taking any of the drugs that can cause this problem.

Caramel apple dip is the quick filling sandwiched between tender sugar cookies.
As a substitute for the coconut garnish, use finely chopped peanuts.
Next time, try dulce de leche (caramelized sweetened condensed milk) instead of the caramel apple dip. Look for it in the Hispanic section of your supermarket.
