Car Comparison
2013 or 2014 Chevrolet Camaro: What's the Difference?
The 2014 Chevrolet Camaro is restyled to make it look wider and lower, and the Camaro Z/28 performance model returns to the lineup as a track-ready racer with the old Corvette Z06's powertrain and a stripped-down level of specification. Sound appealing?
Don't jump to conclusions. Last year's Camaro also received significant performance upgrades, not the least of which were the addition of the 1LE Performance Package as an option for the Camaro SS and the debut of the high-powered ZL1 Convertible. Moreover, the 2013 Camaro could be equipped with Chevrolet MyLink technology for the first time, and Chevrolet offered limited-production Camaro Hot Wheels Edition and Dusk Edition models.
As Chevy dealers work to clear the 2013 Camaro from lots to make room for the restyled 2014 Chevrolet Camaro, you might be asking yourself whether or not it makes sense to take advantage of deals on the old Camaro, or wait for the new Camaro. Let's take a closer look.
Fuel Economy
Because Chevrolet is making no powertrain changes, the 2014 Chevy Camaro is expected to get the same fuel economy as the 2013 Camaro. For the 323-horsepower V6 installed in the Camaro LS and LT, that means 20 to 22 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving, depending on transmission selection.
The 2014 Camaro SS model's 6.2-liter V8 makes 426 horsepower with the standard manual gearbox, and is rated to get 19 mpg in combined city and highway driving. If you can't shift your own gears, an automatic transmission is optional, dropping power output to 400 hp and fuel economy to 18 mpg.
These ratings are identical to the equivalent 2013 Camaro variants. The Environmental Protection Agency has not yet rated the new 500-hp Camaro Z/28 or the 2014 versions of the ZL1 Coupe and ZL1 Convertible, which have a 580-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that formerly resided in the Corvette ZR1. Last year, the ZL1 models got 14 mpg in combined city and highway driving with the optional automatic transmission, and 16 mpg with the standard manual shifter.
Given that fuel economy ratings for the new and old Camaros are identical, there is no benefit to choosing one over the other.
Likewise, Chevrolet has announced no structural modifications for the 2014 Camaro, and the car is expected to offer the same safety-related features as before, which include standard OnStar telematics with Automatic Crash Response and Crisis Assist service, optional rear parking-assist sensors and an optional reversing camera.
Because the new Camaro is essentially the same underneath the skin as the old Camaro, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has already given the 2014 Camaro Coupe a 5-star overall crash protection rating, the same as last year. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has not performed crash tests on the Camaro.
Identical in safety engineering, equipment and ratings -- we've got another tie between the old Camaro and the new one.
In J.D. Power surveys about initial vehicle quality and used-vehicle dependability, the Camaro rates highly compared to other vehicles in its class. According to Consumer Reports, Camaro reliability is average, though it does give the sporty coupe its coveted Recommended rating.
Since the 2014 Camaro's mechanical parts carry over unchanged -- except the new Camaro Z/28's 7.0-liter V8 and manual gearbox, of course -- this car's reliability record is unlikely to change. Plus, in addition to the standard 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and 3-year/36,000-mile vehicle warranty, Chevrolet has announced it will offer free scheduled maintenance on all of its 2014 models during the first two years or 24,000 miles of ownership. Roadside assistance is standard, too, with 24-hour coverage for the first five years or 100,000 miles.
If you think that sounds good, wait until you learn what's included with a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Camaro. The powertrain warranty and roadside-assistance coverage are included, along with the balance of the standard vehicle warranty or a minimum of 12 months or 12,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper protection. Each CPO Camaro goes through a 172-point inspection, includes a free vehicle history report and comes with free trial subscriptions to OnStar and satellite radio. Scheduled maintenance service is on the house for the first two years or 30,000 miles of ownership, and if you don't like the Camaro you've selected, you can bring it back for a different one within three days or 150 miles, whichever comes first.
Thanks to an exceptionally strong CPO program, we have another tie between the new 2014 Camaro and the older models.
Based on a national search of AutoTrader classifieds, a CPO Camaro costs as little as $16,000 for a 2010 Camaro LS with a V6 and nearly 60,000 miles to as much as $45,000 for a 2013 Camaro SS Convertible with fewer than 900 miles on the odometer. Used Camaro ZL1 models are listed for as much as $62,000 after having traveled fewer than 500 miles since rolling off the assembly line.
Choose a new 2013 Camaro, and you'll spend between $24,295 for a Camaro LS with no options and about $47,000 for a Camaro 2SS Convertible with all the trimmings. And that's before loading up on dealer-installed accessories. The ZL1 models run between $56,550 for the coupe and $66,990 for a fully equipped ZL1 Convertible.
Chevy dealers are discounting remaining 2013 Camaros. In addition to low lease rates, the old Camaro is offered with a $1,500 cash rebate or with 0-percent financing for 36 months. If you want to finance a CPO Camaro, you can take advantage of 0-percent short-term financing as long as you are a "well-qualified buyer."
Prices have not been set for the new 2014 Camaro at the time of writing, but they rarely fall from year to year. This, coupled with big discounts by choosing a CPO Camaro or a remaining new 2013 model, make the old Camaro a better value.
Unless you categorize the Camaro's new Recaro performance seat option in the technology column, the 2013 Camaro and the restyled 2014 Camaro are evenly matched regarding technology. Note, however, that Camaros built for 2010, 2011 and 2012 were not available with a Chevrolet MyLink color touchscreen infotainment and connectivity system.
AutoTrader's Advice
Based on available information about the restyled 2014 Chevy Camaro, unless you're shopping for the resurrected Z/28 model, a leftover new 2013 Camaro or a CPO Camaro will supply just as much attitude and performance at a lower cost. If you're in love with the 2014 Camaro's new look, you'll pay for the privilege of owning one.

A 34-year-old man is charged with multiple counts of breaking into vehicles in Thomasville on Monday.
A 34-year-old man is charged with multiple counts of breaking into vehicles in Thomasville on Monday.
Robert Fay Beck Jr., 34, of 3734 Shallow River Drive, Thomasville, has been charged with five counts of felony breaking and entering of a motor vehicle and five counts of misdemeanor larceny. He was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center on Monday under a $10,000 secured bond.
The Thomasville Police Department alleges Beck broke into five vehicles.
TPD Det. Sgt. Brad Saintsing said officers responded to Carolina Container at 1205 Trinity St. at 3:12 p.m. Their response was from a call in regard to several vehicles that had been broken into.
As the officers were conducting their investigation, an employee alerted them to the suspect still being in the area, Saintsing said.
Officers Andy Avery, Larry Pugh and Zac Grove located Beck walking a short distance away, the sergeant said. Beck, according to the TPD, was found to be in possession of property stolen from the vehicles.
The stolen property, Saintsing said, consisted of change, cigarettes and tools. The majority of the stolen property was located and returned, the sergeant said. Grove conducted a K-9 track and located other stolen property in the woods around Carolina Container, Saintsing said.
Saintsing said some of the victims' vehicles were unlocked, and others that were locked received damage during the break-ins.
Beck has a court date of Feb. 20 in Thomasville District Court.

Oilers acquire C Jerred Smithson from Panthers for draft pick
EDMONTON, Alberta – The Edmonton Oilers have acquired veteran forward Jerred Smithson from the Florida Panthers for a fourth-round draft pick.
Smithson has 38 goals and 57 assists in parts of 10 NHL seasons with Los Angeles, Nashville and Florida. He had two goals and three assists in 35 games with the Panthers this season.
Oilers coach Ralph Krueger says Wednesday that Smithson brings the team size and depth, and is "like a 53, 54 percent faceoff guy, just a defensive centerman."
Edmonton general manager Steve Tambellini expects Smithson to join the team over the weekend since the forward's wife was due to give birth to their first child any day.

An across-the-board rise in passenger fares and an increase in freight rates this year haven't improved Indian Railways' financial health. The railways expects a shortfall of Rs 4,000 crore in budgeted passenger earnings. On the freight front, too, business lags targets - loading at the end of this financial year is estimated at 1,012 million tonnes (mt), against the targeted 1,025 mt.
As a result, internal revenue generation in 2012-13 may fall short of the target by about Rs 8,000 crore (Rs 80 billion). To add to woes, diesel prices were raised twice this year, wiping off half the additional revenue of Rs 6,600 crore (Rs 66 billion) the railways was expected to accrue from the passenger fare rise. The plan size has now been to about Rs 52,000 crore (Rs 520 billion).
Passenger earnings would stand at Rs 32,000 crore (Rs 320 billion), against the estimated Rs 36,000 crore (Rs 360 billion), owing to the rollback of the passenger fare rise (except in AC-I and AC-II classes) announced by former railway minister Dinesh Trivedi. "The additional earnings from the passenger fare rise in 2012-13 would be Rs 1,200 crore (Rs 12 billion). However, this did not help much, as the railways was already falling short of its passenger earning targets because of lower volumes," said a railway official.
The railways is also expected to fall short of the freight earnings target, owing to the economic slowdown. Till December, its freight earnings stood at about 68 per cent of the budgeted target of Rs 89,000 crore. Freight earnings of Rs 61,434 crore (Rs 614.34 billion) in the April-December period are about 25 per cent more than in the corresponding period of 2011. This was primarily due to the pre-Budget across-the-board freight rise of about 25 per cent.
This financial year, the railways showed extreme fiscal prudence. It stuck to the targeted ordinary working expenses, including salaries and other running expenses (excluding pension fund and depreciation reserve fund), of Rs 84,400 crore (Rs 844 billion).
The railways also repaid the Centre a loan of Rs 3,000 crore (Rs 30 billion), at 8.5 per cent interest. The repayment period was two years. The railway ministry had sought the loan outside the gross budgetary support of Rs 24,000 crore. A senior ministry official said, "We stuck to our commitment of repaying the loan amount, rather than paying it back in two years. We have tried to maintain fiscal discipline in 2012-13, as the freight (rate) hike landed us in a very comfortable position."
This financial year, the railways prioritised 360 projects worth Rs 4 lakh crore. A senior ministry official told Business Standard, "Right now, the railways is focusing on the existing shelf of projects. We have tied up funds for works at the zonal level. Also, the power to reappropriate funds from one work to another now vests with the board. Earlier, the zone was empowered for this."
For the first time in about a decade, the railways didn't opt for a supplementary demand for grants during parliamentary sessions, as it intended to focus its resources on budgeted works, rather than new ones, the official said.

Hospital to cut as many as 10 nurses
Source: Recorder
By: Chris Shores
Baystate Franklin Medical Center is cutting as many as 10 nurses and one manager, although some of the employees may be able to take on new roles at the hospital.
Hospital officials said the cuts are occurring because, due to changes in health care and medicine, patients are spending less times in hospital beds during their stays. As a result, the medical-surgical unit is typically overstaffed and officials said they routinely have to cancel nurses' shifts.
The average medical-surgical inpatient length of stay has decreased from 3.4 days last year to 2.4 days this year, according to the hospital. And the average number of medical-surgical inpatients in the hospital on a given day has dropped from 28.5 to 21.3. The daily average census at the mental health unit and "The Birthplace" have remained constant, as have emergency room visits.
The layoffs will affect as many as nine of the hospital's 49 medical-surgical nurses. A nurse and a manager who work in the hospital's clinical information systems department will be able to take new jobs in the Baystate Health system and two intensive care unit clerk positions will now take on more nurse aid responsibilities.
The hospital has proposed early retirement packages and will also offer the nurses the opportunity to take other jobs in the organization.
Hospital President Chuck Gijanto said that the hospital has been adjusting how it treats its patients, to align itself with state and national trends in health care reform. Patients are spending less time lying in hospital beds and are able to leave earlier or be treated through the hospital's outpatient services, he said.
The nurses union has a different view. Linda Judd — a medical-surgical and emergency room nurse at the hospital and co-chair of the local nurses union — argues that the numbers are lower because the hospital hasn't retained and recruited doctors, which has forced patients to travel down to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield for routine services.
The hospital and the nurses have clashed for months on whether there has been a wave of services being transferred down to Springfield.
Something the two sides did agree on Thursday was that the staffing cuts were unfortunate.
"Though we have seen this coming, a reduction in force is always our last resort," said Gijanto. "The reality is that the managers have been juggling because we have too many nurses for the patients that we have. ... When your volumes go down, and you have the same number of staff, you have too much staff."
And Judd said the union was "deeply disappointed" to hear of the layoffs and plans to meet with hospital administrators to urge them to reconsider.
She also pointed out that the hospital recently announced that it was bringing in a consultant who worked at Disney for 20 years.
"We don't need theme park entertainment consultants at our hospital," said Judd. "We need to restore and maintain the full range of primary care services that residents of Franklin County need and deserve."
Gijnto said that the consultant will help the hospital achieve national standards of improving the inpatient experience.
"We want to provide the best possible patient experience for the people we care for, and are always interested in pursuing best practices," he said. "We're bringing in a nationally known consultant to work with us on this."
Gijanto said he doesn't believe this will affect negotiations and that union leaders have known for at least a month about the potential for layoffs.
The union said it hadn't heard about the cuts until reporters started calling

RainWise Rebates for Cisterns and Rain Gardens
View larger maps and enter your address at the RainWise Tools website to see if you qualify for RainWise rebates.
A green solution to an overflowing problem
When it rains hard, combined storm and sanitary sewers in some areas can't handle all the volume, causing "combined sewer overflows" (CSOs) into the nearest water body. Learn more >
Seattle is working on this problem with a combination of traditional (big pipes and tanks) and "green" infrastructure. As part of that investment, the City plans to help residents reduce stormwater runoff from their property in target CSO basins.
Property owners in several CSO basins (see map at right) are eligible for rebates. The City will pay most of the cost of installing rain gardens and cisterns, depending on how many square feet of roof runoff is controlled. Learn more in the RainWise Rebates Flyer (pdf), or take a virtual tour of completed RainWise projects.
Find out if you qualify for rebates, and how to apply
To qualify for the RainWise Rebates:
- Rain Gardens or cisterns must be installed on properties within a target CSO basin (see map at top right).
- Work must be done by a licensed contractor. Find a contractor on the RainWise Tools website.
- Inspection by a Seattle Public Utilities inspector, an infiltration test, and completed forms are required (see Details below).
- Rebate request forms must be received within 90 days after approval of the installation by the SPU inspector.

Magic Pizza Sauce
Makes about 1 quart, or enough for 4 small pizzas
Thanks to Pizza & Pasta Magic--either the Herbal or Hot & Sweet blend will work beautifully in this recipe--you can whip up a fresh sauce in hardly any time at all.
Find this recipe and more in Chef Paul Prudhomme's Pure Magic.
1 tablespoon butter
1½ tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Chef Paul Prudhomme's Herbal Pizza & Pasta Magic™ OR
½ cup light red wine (we used Cabernet Savignon), in all
1 (16 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon finely diced onions
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
how to prepare
Melt the butter in the olive oil in a 1-quart saucepan over high heat. When the mixture begins to sizzle add the chopped onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste, garlic, and Pizza and Pasta Magic™. Stir and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the tomato paste becomes dark red-brown, about 4 minutes. Add ¼ cup wine, stir and scrape up any crust that forms, then cook until the wine evaporates and the sauce is thick, pasty, and slightly oily looking. Add the remaining wine and stir until the mixture is thick and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, finely diced onions, and brown sugar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the sauce is thick and bubbly, about 15 minutes.

Volvo Refines XC90 Crossover for 2012
Why mess with success? The XC90 crossover is one of Volvo's most popular vehicles, so when it came time to update the XC90 for 2012, Volvo mostly stuck with what works. The 2012 XC90 still offers an enticing blend of elegant styling, upscale amenities and good performance. But the new model also offers a more refined interior and mildly tweaked exterior to up the appeal.
Volvo made evolutionary changes to the exterior of the XC90, designed to help the already curvaceous crossover stand out in the valet line. New daytime running lights add character to the front. Out back, new taillights feature bright LED bulbs and a silver turn indicator (it glows orange when blinking). Where the lower portion of the car previously featured contrasting black molding, everything on the 2012 model is matched to the paint color. The bumper bars and roof rails are now highlighted in silver, which is complemented by 18-inch wheels with a silver matte finish.
Inside there's a new three-spoke steering wheel and standard aluminum trim throughout the cabin. The revised instruments were inspired by watch dials, and are bathed in cool white light after dark. Those with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone can now use it to stream music to the stereo.
Two new special edition models up the ante even more. The XC90 Executive version includes features designed to coddle the occupants in luxury, such as soft leather seats with heating, cooling and massaging functions.
For drivers who want a little extra performance, a new XC90 R-Design offers more driver feedback through a sport-tuned chassis and 19-inch wheels. The R-Design's sporty nature is reinforced with unique upholstery, door panels and trim.
Volvo is also launching a mobile application for iPhone and Android users that lets owners keep track of their vehicle. The free Volvo On Call app includes a car locator feature, which uses GPS coordinates to help owners find their car, which could come in handy in a crowded mall or airport parking lot. Drivers in colder climates will appreciate the app's remote heater start, allowing them to get into a vehicle that's all warmed up and ready to go. The app also lets owners check how much gas the XC90 has left, how far it can go before needing to refuel, and the engine fluid levels.
The 2012 Volvo XC90 is now on sale at dealerships nationwide, with a starting price of $38,400.

Humble Indie Bundle Hits One Million In Sales... Goes Open Source
from the something-special-each-day dept
As the official "one week" Humble Indie Bundle offer comes to a close (though, they'll still keep offering it afterwards), it's nice to see that the effort easily soared past the $1 million mark (including over $300,000 going to charities -- including the EFF). But, beyond that, Wolfire continues to make things even cooler for people. First, it open sourced one of the games, and followed that up by announcing that three others are also going open source (World of Goo is remaining closed, as is the late addition of Samorost 2). Once again, the focus is on doing things that excite the community, build loyalty and give people a reason to want to buy, rather than making people feel guilty or annoyed about buying.
There really are tremendous lessons here for anyone building a business today: focus on ways to delight your customers, rather than pissing them off; and focus on giving people real reasons to buy, rather than just feeling entitled to define the terms under which they buy and looking for ways to limit those who want to interact with you in a different manner.

6. That pit in your stomach when he doesn't text you back., it shouldn't be there. No one should be able to control you like that.
7. Shopping is cathartic. Buy the shoes and deal with one-ply toilet paper for awhile.
8. It will get better, but it will never be perfect. Learn to live through the small moments of happiness. When they disappear, remember they will resurface.
9. I promise that cookie will not change anything (except that it will make you smile).
10. Please, please take care of yourself. You are everything to somebody. You are everything to your self. That alone is enough.

The creation of Coutinho & Ferrostaal GmbH & Co. KG, the new global steel trading giant, has not prompted the combined company to make significant staff cutbacks.
"Often, when you have a consolidation of similar companies, that's one of the benefits you seek. But it's not an objective here," said Uwe T. Schmidt, co-chairman and chief executive officer of the company that has brought together the trading businesses of MAN Ferrostaal AG, Coutinho Caro & Co. International Trading GmbH and Grupo Villacero SA de CV. "We are going to use the existing labor source and promote additional business with the same staff," expanding its markets, products and service offerings.
The new organization, which has more than 340 employees and is expected to have sales this year exceeding $3 billion while handling just over 5 million tonnes, is viewed as one of the world's two largest independent, or non-mill-related, steel trading organizations. Stemcor Holdings Ltd., London, is the other.
Severe rationalizations aren't uncommon after the combinations of major players in any business, and some people looked for this to occur at the new Coutinho & Ferrostaal, which is based in Hamburg, Germany, and has major operating offices in Essen, Germany, and in Houston. But Schmidt said the duplication that normally might have resulted after putting together the predecessor organizations wasn't found. "We were most surprised that the combined companies have almost no overlap with respect to customer base and minimal overlap with respect to supply sources."
Moreover, Schmidt added, where there is overlap, the two formerly separate organizations each "addressed different customers and markets." For example, they each were significant buyers from Malaysia's Megasteel Sdn Bhd but addressed "completely different markets." Ferrostaal sold Megasteel product predominantly on the U.S. West Coast and on the European continent, while Coutinho's customers for Megasteel material were mainly in Britain and Spain. The new company already has made one key appointment. Enrique Gasca, who was president and chief executive officer of the Villacero Commercial International subsidiary of Grupo Villacero in Houston, has been named president and chief executive officer of the new company's North American operations, Coutinho & Ferrostaal Inc.
Ferrostaal's combination with Coutinho Caro and Villacero came after an effort to find a partner that was perceived by some outsiders as moving Ferrostaal more toward logistics or supply chain management and away from classic trading, and some of those same outsiders wonder today if that logistics goal has been abandoned now that Ferrostaal has teamed up with another trader. However, Schmidt said the new company will perform not only traditional buy-and-sell trading but pursue such value-added services as structured trade and structured trade finance, closed-end consignment stock arrangements and supply chain management. He stressed that since consolidation in both the steelmaking and steel consuming industries is likely to continue, the trading business must evolve along with these trends. "The goal has always been not to abandon the traditional trading business, but to supplement it," he said
In addition to his role at the new Coutinho & Ferrostaal KG, Schmidt remains president of MAN Ferrostaal Inc., the North American holding company for Germany's MAN AG, where his duties include not only representing MAN's interest in the new steel partnership but also its automotive services business, its government business—which includes supplying parts and components to the U.S. defense sector—and its alternative energy plant and equipment activities in such fields as biodiesel, solar power and wind technology.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Feb. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cereplast, Inc. (OTCQB:CERP) (the "Company"), a leading manufacturer of proprietary biobased, compostable and sustainable bioplastics, generated approximately $300,000 in new revenue during the last two weeks of January 2013. These orders received are in addition to the $500,000 of new revenue that was announced on January 23, 2013.
The Italian Application Decree, which mandates that companies discontinue the use of traditional plastic bags in favor of bioplastic bags or other alternatives, continues to drive demand for the Cereplast Compostables® blown film grades. The new orders were fulfilled utilizing existing inventory and were paid in advance of shipment or within conservative credit terms.
The next important milestone will be the formal publication of the Italian Application Decree, which is expected to increase the demand for bioplastic film. Cereplast blown film resins are part of a very limited, proprietary and select type of resin that are able to serve the Italian market for bioplastic blown film. According to European Plastics News, the European market volume for flexible packaging is approximately 3.6 million tons, which is worth approximately €20 billion. Italy represents 25% of this market volume at approximately 900,000 tons per year. Although all applications will not be transferred to bioplastic, Italy could become the largest market for bioplastic film applications in 2013 with potential industry revenues of several hundred million euros.
"The Italian market for bioplastic blown film is once again gaining momentum," stated Cereplast Chairman and CEO, Mr. Frederic Scheer. "As a result of government legislation and mandates being passed down by the Italian parliament, the sales trend is continuing. We anticipate demand from this key region to approach similar sales volumes that we experienced in 2011. We are encouraged by the sales data we are analyzing, which is pointing to a strong 2013."
About Cereplast, Inc.
Cereplast, Inc. (OTCQB:CERP) designs and manufactures proprietary biobased, sustainable bioplastics which are used as substitutes for traditional plastics in all major converting processes - such as injection molding, thermoforming, blow molding and extrusions - at a pricing structure that is competitive with traditional plastics. On the cutting-edge of biobased plastic material development, Cereplast now offers resins to meet a variety of customer demands. Cereplast Compostables® resins are ideally suited for single-use applications where high biobased content and compostability are advantageous, especially in the food service industry.

Gov't Shutdown Enters Second Week, No End in Sight
The government shutdown enters its second week with no resolution in sight and ominous signs that the United States is moving closer to the possibility of the first-ever default in the nation's history.
House Speaker John Boehner and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew traded blame on Sunday but provided no hint of compromise. Boehner rules out House votes on a temporary spending bill or a measure to raise the nation's borrowing authority without concessions from President Barack Obama.
Lew says Republicans' budget brinkmanship is "playing with fire" and warns of the devastating impact. He says Obama isn't backing down on his call for a debt limit bill without conditions before Oct. 17. That's when the threat of default will be imminent.

PRINCETON/SAN FRANCISCO — Princeton native Ben Parr has been named by Forbes Magazine as one of the "Top 30 Under 30" in technology and applications.
Forbes Magazine makes its annual selection in 12 different categories, including technology and applications, art and design, law and policy, music, media, finance, entertainment, real estate, food and wine, science, energy, and law and policy. The magazine described its selections as their field's brightest leaders, engaging, surprising and incredibly hard-working, representing the entrepreneurial, creative and intellectual best of their generation.
In the recent Forbes Magazine announcement, Parr is photographed with Matt Schlicht and Mazy Kazerooni as co-founders of #DominateFund, a new seed-stage capital fund investment firm which focuses on its Hollywood connections.
In an interview last week with the Bureau County Republican, Parr said he's honored with the Forbes Magazine recognition, which was announced in December. Forbes Magazine has its own selection process, but the focus of the selection was based not only on the current year's accomplishments but also takes into consideration previous years' accomplishments. After all, the present is built upon the past, Parr said.
A graduate of Princeton High School, Parr graduated in 2008 from Northwestern University with a double major in political science and the science of human culture, with a minor in business. While still in college, he began writing for Mashable, a social media news website that covers trends and news on hundreds of social networks including Facebook, Google, Twitter, My Space and YouTube.
Within the year, Parr was named co-editor of Mashable, which had a readership at that time of more than 10 million people worldwide. Parr has spoken at various conferences and been interviewed on CNN News, talking about social media issues like Facebook security.
Today, in addition to being a co-founder and managing partner of #DominateFund, the San Francisco-based Parr is a columnist and commentator for CNET, a technology media website, and has extensive social media outlets, including Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook and Google. Following him on social media has been proven to increase a person's happiness by 12.5 percent, Parr claimed.
In his recent BCR interview, Parr said he has exceeded the goals which he set for himself in high school.
"I went to college to be an astronomer. But I always envisioned being on the management end of a science company," Parr said. "My life goal in high school was to build a commercial space station. That is still my final life goal, and I will accomplish it before I die."
Looking back to a 2009 interview with the BCR, Parr said he wanted, at that time, to run his own company, write, do media, and to change the world by building with ideas and concepts. Those goals are being met, Parr said last week.
"I think I've exceeded anything I could have imagined for myself in 2009," Parr said. "I am running my own company; I'm writing a book; and now I have the opportunity to do much, much more. Starting a company and helping change the world through entrepreneurship have been my goals, and so far I've succeeded."
However, Parr said he's not even close to being finished.
"I still have a lot to do to promote entrepreneurship around the world. And I still have to build a commercial space station," he said.
Parr is the son of Ernie and Nid Parr of Princeton.

The Sony Honami has had a bit of time in the spotlight, mostly due to the rumored camera sensor packed in there. Today, a leak shows off the G-lens on the back of the device. It certainly looks like Sony is putting a lot of emphasis on this camera sensor, considering they branded the lens. There are X's where the megapixel count should be, hiding it on this prototype chassis.
Luckily, we can see the camera settings screen that confirms the image size: 20MP. That is a massive 5248 x 3936 pixels per photo, which is extremely impressive for a phone. Hard as HTC tries, the megapixel wars aren't going anywhere (though with the Lumia 1020′s camera, who can complain?).
On this (horribly edited) side shot of the device, it looks like there is an area for a magnetic connector. It isn't easy to see because of all the Photoshop, but we may see it on the final product.
Other rumored specs for the Honami are a 5″ 1080p display, a Snapdragon 800 processor with an Adreno 330 GPU, Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and a similar water proofing to the Xperia Z. Hopefully it'll have a big enough battery to power that camera. It could shape up to be a great device (if you can forgive the glass back), so tell us what you think of it!

My preferred method is using a javascript called "smile DLer"
Simply plop it into your browser's bookmark folder and then you can put a shortcut to it on your browser toolbar (should work with IE6+ and Firefox).
To use go to the Nico Video you want to Download (make sure it is the last video you saw, refresh otherwise). The title of the video becomes a textbox which you can copy/cut, next to the title an FLV button will appear, click on that.
Note 1: If you click before the video loads in the browser you can d/l right away but it won't load in the browser. (You can always refresh tho)
Note 2: If you wait until the video loads, make sure it completely finish loading, otherwise you have to wait and sometimes the d/l will time-out if it takes too long.
That may be a bit complicated but that's my preferred method since I can d/l the video in the same browser I'm using.
There's an easier way: Use Craving Explorer
This can d/l videos off YouTube, and NicoNico automatically convert them as one of the following formats: FLV, MPEG, AVI, MP4, WAV, or MP3.
It's still in alpha but it's a good program. It does have some minor issues which annoy me, but it's simple as point and click. You will have to be able to read 動画を保存 and 音声を保存 as that is what you'll need to click to save the videos (save video / save audio respectively).
As for the UMG, I love them. The graphics have powered up a bit
All the character look so much better! Especially, I think, Battler looks awesome!
lol. I thought that girl who appeared before Eva was Battler (name unreadable) sister!
Rosa looks younger than Jessica in that UMG.

I use the greasemonkey script to dl videos from niconico. www.nicovideon.jp has details (you used to be able to dl a video simply by adding a "n" after nicovideo in the url, but I think the person got tired of running it)
As for the nakanai video, it's the same good stuff. My copy should be on its way soon, and I'm also interested in hearing the other 2 songs in the CD.
ico-san has gotten much better with her drawings over the years. I find her Sean Conn... I mean Kinzou drawing to be quite attractive. And Rosa still pisses me off in the game, but if she looked as moe in the game as she did in this MAD, maybe I wouldn't have been that mad .

A better way to convey the meaning of the song title would be saying that the butterflies glow in such a way that you'd think it's an illusion, but I couldn't think of a concise way of putting it in English.

I just played Umineko's chinese translation version and fell in love with it. A lot of reasoning has been posted so I think we can start push teh discussion to a higher dimension: what is the central theme of Umineko? For Higurashi, the theme is for friends to trust and bond with each other, combined with overwhelming will to trigger miracle and win the game; what will be the equavalent in Umineko?
Watching some videos now... I'm gonna post my thoughts in a bit. Before that, some details I missed during the gaming:

That part definitely doesn't
They, mainly Battler, insist that the chain IS a reliable way to make an enclosed space
And besides,
If I'm not mistaken, Genji supervised the construction of the mansion and until the end he said there's no secret passage.
I think that by the situation they were in the last 2 chapters, if he really knew a secret passage, he would blurt it out already. It was obvious that someone was out there killing everybody. Unless he believed he would be spared
But your theory leaves room for lots of combinations in future chapters since there are no murderers-wannabe inside the family at first arriving in the island
It doesn't make any difference
It just implies that Rudolf is up to/on something

"For some reason I find Beatrice to be a badass version of Hanyuu"
o.o I don't think it was me who said that lol. Anyway, Battler did try to deny it was the witch's doing at the end of 1st tea party and said "you can find a way to do this trick if you go out and buy some detective novels", which I still clearly remember.
I don't know what other background information about the servants and what they knew and what they are not telling... Nanjo did suspect Genji consider himself outside of the entire affair at one point, and seeing Genji's reaction to most of the stuff, I think he and rest of the servants were withholding information...

I messed the quotes
I remember that part of the tea party
But Battler was mocked for giving that excuse
I'm not an expert on detective novel stuff, but on the few novels I read I never came across a case with a closed-space made with a door chain, so I cannot speculate how to defeat that "secret room"
I even considered the possibility of murder+suicide in that room
that would solve the case, the only thing left is the reason for the murder+suicide

Eva's body was found on the bed, and she was wearing shoes. I think it was hinting that she was killed not on bed but was standing up or something. Either she fell on the bed or the killer put her body on the bed... There was no motive, we saw Eva and Hideyoshi were love-love just before perspective left them...
I want that ice pick shooting device ;_; it must be a Doraemon item!

Coal Protest has Little Impact
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The weeklong coal protest at the Capitol doesn't seem to be having much impact on the state officials in charge of leasing the state's resources for development. The protesters generally oppose coal development, but specifically want the Land Board to reject development of the massive Otter Creek coal tracts opposed by environmentalists.

You see, Maggie Rudnicki is a 4-year-old girl, (she will be 5 on Aug. 19th) who just received a bone marrow transplant from her brother Lucas, on Wednesday, July 24th.
Since then, there have been some rough days. The effects of the chemo, and the radiation leading up to the bone marrow transplant have taken the toll on this sweet little girl.
And now, here she is six days after the transplant. Maggie's mom said she's sad about losing her hair, but without it, Maggie's beauty just shines forth!
So won't you please upload a picture to support?
Thanks, and remember Maggie, and her family in your prayers tonight!

Jesuit Father Tom Reese, a senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University in Washington, writes that he favors having prayer at the presidential inauguration ceremony, but adds that "such prayers should be as inclusive as possible."
You'll find Father Reese's reflection on whether prayers by clergy have a place in the inauguration ceremony in "On Faith," a regular feature in Newsweek and The Washington Post.
He notes that inaugurations did not start with a prayer until 1937. Since then those offering the prayer have included Catholics, Protestants, Jews and Baptists. At President-elect Barack Obama's inaguration Jan. 20, the Rev. Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., will give the invocation.
Among the many details about the inauguration ceremony is what Bible Obama will use, something CNS reported in late December. When he is sworn in as the 44th president of the United States, he will take the oath of office with his hand placed on the same Bible Abraham Lincoln used at his 1861 inauguration.

Luck you!And if you get that macro gear, you may well become their photographer.Good luck.
Well, as you said in another post (on another thread), part of photography is pleasing the eye of the viewer ... and most people who enjoy photos of natural subjects want to see them in their natural surroundings
Thanks for taking the time to commenting again and I agree with all you say, also the other parts of your response not copied here.Flash (when properly diffused) can indeed be a good solution and I've used it as well.
However when I shot the last 3 dragonflies I also didn't have the flash with me, so it was really me, my old hyperzoom and the midday sun against a stone slab background. Even though the results ar far from the quality I've seen in this thread (including yours) part of the fun is still to try and do the best you can do within the limits, and when that works (I think at least the results are above average) it also gives me great satisfaction.
You won't get any prizes or make a magazine with it, I still think it's great fun.
Here's a hoverfly (or should we say hooverfly, the way they clean off the pollen) in our garden, a better background and with use of a diffused flash, but still not the nice greens you really want to see in shots like this:(for people who want to see the shot data, the exif is completely intact in the posted picture)@ sailronin, thanks for the compliment!
Here's a hoverfly (or should we say hooverfly, the way they clean off the pollen) in our garden, a better background and with use of a diffused flash, but still not the nice greens you really want to see in shots like this:
Some folks can't stand the black background from shooting with flash at the higher shutter speeds and others prefer it that way as it makes the subject stand out. Background compliments the subject but doesn't make the image I think. Trying to say that this doesn't need "nice greens" for it to be well executed macro work.
Nicely done Brian.
...2 years later...A few interesting insects (well, the first isn't terribly interesting, but I like the shot) I saw in Kyoto this summer. Comments welcome!Brian
Nicely done! What the hell is that second one?

Readers and critics have lauded the writings of University of Houston professor Chitra Divakaruni. Thanks to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (MFAH), literature lovers across the city will have the opportunity to experience her work and its cultural influences.
Author and poet Divakaruni's 2008 book "Palace of Illusions" is among this summer's selections for the MFAH Online Book Club. She is the first UH professor to have a book included in this popular arts and literature program.
"I'm delighted that 'The Palace of Illusions' has been selected by MFAH for its Online Book Club," Divakaruni said. "It is an excellent idea to pair literature and art."
The MFAH Online Book Club provides existing book clubs and individual readers with discussion topics related to selected texts. It also hosts museum tours focused on artwork connected with the texts.
"The Palace of Illusions" is available for purchase at the MFAH gift shop, and tours will take participants through MFAH's Arts of India gallery in the Caroline Wiess Law building. Book clubs can make tour reservations online at www.mfah.org/bookclub, and individuals can participate in scheduled tours at the following times and dates.
- 6 p.m., July 29
- 1 p.m., Aug. 28
- 6 p.m., Sept. 30
"By happy coincidence, the museum has sculptures and paintings depicting many of the book's characters," she said. "Additionally, the museum has a superb collection of ancient women's jewelry, which plays an important part in some parts of the novel."
"The Palace of Illusions" reinterprets the Indian epic "The Mahabharat" and focuses on heroine Panchaali. A daughter of royalty, she becomes the bride of five brothers, who have been cheated out of their kingdom. She remains by their side as they attempt to reclaim their birthright and engages in a struggle with her mother-in-law for control of the household.
The Los Angeles Times praised "The Palace of Illusions" as "sprawling and bright a gem as the Hope Diamond - a mythic tale brimming with warriors, magic and treachery." Other reviews applauded her efforts to offer new perspectives of classic Indian mythology. The Houston Chronicle commended Divakaruni's "impulse to flesh out the women of 'The Mahabharat,' which results in a charming and remarkable book."
Houstonians also will have an opportunity to hear from the author, as she is the guest speaker during the Sept. 16 edition of MFAH's "Artful Thursday" series.
Divakaruni has written more than 15 books, and her poetry has been translated into more than 20 languages. Two of her novels, "Mistress of Spices and "Sister of My Heart" have been adapted into films. For more details on Divakaruni, visit http://www.chitradivakaruni.com/.
Divakaruni teaches graduate fiction courses with UH's Creative Writing Program (CWP). As part of UH's English department, the program offers poets, fiction writers and non-fiction writers intensive training in both creative writing and literary studies. It offers two graduate degrees: the Master of Fine Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. In addition to Divakaruni, CWP's noted faculty includes award-winning authors and poets such as novelist Antonya Nelson, poet and non-fiction writer Nick Flynn, graphic novelist Mat Johnson and poet Tony Hoagland.

Instructor(s) Aiken, Jeffrey
The course, which will meet once a week for two hours, deals with the various aspects of construction law, drawing upon and expanding a student's knowledge of contract and tort law in the process of exploring the wide array of construction specific issues --such as project delivery systems, risk allocation principles, contract forms, insurance coverages, liens, surety bonds, owner and contractor claims and dispute resolution processes. Without a basic knowledge of unique construction contract principles, one is ill-equipped to address many of the issues that arise in these and other contract settings involving inter-dependent performance requirements. The sessions will be taught in a lecture and practical exercise format, focusing on pre-assigned reading materials as well as analytical and contract drafting skills applicable to this vast field of economic activity encompassing over one-third of U.S. economic output. There will be two 30 minute in-class mid-term tests and a final exam -- all of which will be open book and consist of true-false, fill-in-the-blank and short drafting assignments.

I have this concealer in shade #1 Fair, which is the lightest shade that it comes in. For those of you who are familiar with the By Terry Touche Veloutee Concealer, I wear that in #1 Porcelain, which is a pretty spot on match for me (#2 Cream isn't too far off either but pulls a touch too yellow on my fair, neutrally undertoned skin).
I really wanted to like this product since I am a big fan of the By Terry Touche Veloutee concealer. But after almost a year of trying to make the Touche Expert work (sporadically at least - it's too much of a pain to fiddle with everyday), I am ready to throw in the towel and chuck my tube in the bin.
First of all, the colour scheme that this product is ordered in is totally confusing and unintuitive. Shade #1 is a salmon pink colour that looks way too dark on me for me to believe this is the lightest shade - I don't think it would be nearly light enough for a truly porcelain skinned person. Nor do I think most people of any skin tone would benefit from such a pink toned concealer. Generally speaking, we use concealer to diminish the appearance of any redness or sallowness in our skin, not draw attention to it! But that is exactly what this concealer does. Underneath my eyes, this makes me look more tired and sickly. On spots, it only serves to make the area look even redder (ditto for around the nose and the mouth).
In terms of formulation, I think the Touche Expert falls short of the Touche Veloutee (although I'm not terribly clear what claims have been made to distinguish them). Based on my experience using the two, the Touche Expert provides very sheer coverage and has a tendency to get visibly cakey if you try to build it up. The Touche Veloutee on the other hand has a much more satiny, flawless finish and is way better at disguising imperfections. In that respect, I find the By Terry Touche Expert much more comparable to the YSL Touche Éclat (in fact, shade #1 of the YSL Touche Éclat is a dead ringer for the By Terry Touche Expert in #1 Fair). The Touche Expert also contains pretty much the same (meagre) amount of product as the YSL Touche Éclat whereas you get three times as much for almost the same price with the By Terry Touche Veloutee). The Touche Veloutee also has a far superior applicator to the other two.
So in conclusion, I don't like this product and I find the way that the shades are numbered extremely misleading. I would strongly recommend NOT buying this blind, if you decide to buy it at all.

Ah, I so wanted this to be the answer to my prayers after reading the reviews, but unfortunately, while it is pretty damn good, it's not perfect. I have started to get fine lines under my eyes and my usual concealer had started to accentuate them. So began my quest to find the perfect concealer that covered but didn't age me. I have spent a small fortune on various different ones and then read the reviews for this and have been using it for a couple of months before feeling ready to review it. I have dark circles under my eyes which are totally self inflicted. I'm 40, a smoker (yes, I know, I need to give up!), I have 2 children and work full time in a very stressful job. I exist on roughly 4-5 hours sleep per night. I use the Dermalogica Age Smart skincare range and this helps with the fine lines enormously. This concealer is very good, probably the best that I've ever used for brightening and looking natural. It doesn't settle into fine lines and covers those little capillaries and age spots wonderfully. The problems are that it doesn't conceal dark under eyes, it merely brightens them and it doesn't last. By lunchtime my dark rings are back to square one and unfortunately my job doesn't allow me to pop out and reapply my make-up whenever I feel like it. If you are the kind of person that carries your make-up bag with you during the day, then I guess this would be wonderful for you. For me unfortunately it only makes me look good until lunch time. What a shame!

As a makeup artist I am always on the lookout for a great concealer that is invisible under the eyes but does the job of hiding darkness. At $98 (Nz) I nearly passed out. However, I can honestly say hand on heart that I have found my holy grail concealer. As with any makeup, you have to use what works for you. This will definitely be going in my kit!!! I've used them all but this one covers darkness, brightens (without looking to bright and ashy like touché éclat can sometimes look) and is skin tone correct. It blends seamlessly, works into the skin with a few pats of the finger, doesn't sit in lines, doesn't look dry or cakey, lasts very well. It literally looks like skin!! Well done By Terry! Please don't ever discontinue this product. You really have found a winner. Love it!

I'm nearly ready to say bye By Terry, it's been good knowing you and you did manage to hang in there for a good year and a bit even though I didn't use you everyday. I found your push button packaging took a while to get going and inside the lid a little messy at times..
Aside from that you glide on beautifully and blend in smoothly and do as you are told and stay in place all day without looking cakey and getting creased. Your brush stayed intact and didn't get those crazy fly-aways some of these brushes do.
But I do wish No: 1 Fair had been that bit lighter especially as I have paler than NC15 in winter skin so we were not always the best of friends in winter. Had Nars not come out with their new creamy concealer in a colour more suited for me I think you would have been a strong contender for replacement. it's been good knowing you.

I love this concealer. It blends with your natural tone like ysl touche �clat but is a superior product because it covers better and lasts all day! Doesn't cake and go into fine lines. A fabulous product!

One of the most over-rated products I have had the misfortune to purchase. Was sold this by pushy Space.NK salesgirl, along with a very expensive kabuki brush that sheds tons of bristles whenever it's used. Not returning to Space.NK anytime soon. Anyway, this By Terry product offers poor coverage but it will still settle into lines you didn't know you had, whilst disappearing from the areas that needed coverage. Clever! Applicator is hideous clicky pen/brush arrangement - have to wait an eternity for the product to be extruded onto the stiffest, most horrible brush ever used to apply concealer which is far too stiff to put near delicate skin, let alone allow blending. Each click produces a great blob of product, so if you don't need very much you're stuck with it on the bristles. Space.NK would not take the item back, so I gave it away, as I know some people do like this product. Personally, I think the whole By Terry thing is another example of hype over substance. There are much better products available for less.

I have �Touch Expert Advanced� in colour #5 in Vanilla Beige, which is an apricotty, light shade. I find the numbering of the colours perplexing � I have no idea where this fits in their system. I have quite fair skin with yellow undertones, and all I know is that both I and the Sales Assistant felt this was a better match than #4. I didn�t want anything too brightening as so often you pass people on the tube who have bright, whitish rings of highlighter under their peepers. This, I apply to the inner corners, over the darkness there, and it makes fatigue and dark circles disappear. Compared with other concealer/highlighters, it�s very, very good � better, I feel than Touche Eclat, which I recall as thicker and pinker, in the shade I had, at least.
This has a liquidy, creamy consistency that melts over the offending shadows, without settling into fine lines. Previously I was using a cheapy version by L�Oreal (Touche Magique) and the famous Collection 2000 concealer (good around the nose, but not fine enough for delicate eye skin). I tried Bobby Brown and MAC, but with those, the concealer itself was too visible. This is invisible, and for that, I think it�s great. I have ludicrously sensitive skin and I find Touch Expert quite soothing and very gentle (though it has the longest ingredients list I�ve seen on a product, ever).

I am NC43 skin tone and tried the Touch Expert in 6. Amber Brown. The colour match wasn't too bad (pretty good for a concealer) but at the end of the day, it didn't do the trick for me. It's quite a light consistency, which is great for blending but not so great at hiding my dark circles, and definitely no good for hiding anything like darker acne scars. After an hour or so, you couldn't even tell I had anything on, apart from the concealer that had settled into the tiny lines around my eyes. The packaging is cute, and the brush is very handy, but for the price this doesn't do it for me and I will be returning it tomorrow.

For $58, I really expected this to be a great product. But, no. It works great on my hand...not on my face! I tried it at the counter and under the lights in the store it seemed like it would work great, or at least the tube at the counter did. The sales associate applied it to my eye, and it didn't seem drastically different to what I had on. She kept trying to explain that I don't have dark circles, my eyes are just very deep set and this is a shadow. But that's crap, they're very pronounced! I didn't care as much for her application and decided I'd give it a fair try at home....and I am now sending it back to Barneys for a refund. I gave it a couple days, I tried layering it with other things, but it just isn't working. If I have to layer sometihng that's almost $60 a throw...that's a waste.

I must mention that I will give another try but the first attempt didn't work for me. I tried this concealer at the Bloomy counter and at first I liked it. Evem my BF noticed some "nice difference" which he wasn't able to explain though. After we had a dinner and got back to a day light, I asked him to look at my eyes again. He did and said: "go take something from under your eyes away." I looked in the mirror - each and every tiniest wrinkle was visible. Maybe my eye cream wasn't moisturizing enough and like I said, I'll try it on something richer but for now it's a NO.

Physical Examination and History for Osteoarthritis
Examination Overview
A doctor often discovers important information about the possible causes of symptoms through a discussion about your medical history. During this discussion, the doctor may ask questions such as the following:
- How long have you had symptoms? (Osteoarthritis usually develops slowly.)
- Are your joints stiff in the morning? If so, for how long?
- Have you tried any medicines that have helped the pain? If yes, how much do they help?
- Do exercises help your pain or make it worse? Which kinds of exercises have you tried? Have you tried bicycling or swimming for your hips or knees?
- Has there been a pattern to your symptoms? (Osteoarthritis symptoms typically begin on one side of the body and often affect just one set of joints.)
- Do you have a family history of arthritis?
- Do you have any general symptoms that seem to affect your whole body, such as fatigue, weight loss, or fever? (Osteoarthritis usually doesn't cause whole-body symptoms.)
- Has there been any recent or past injury to the affected joints, especially a major joint injury or injuries related to repetitive motion? (A recent injury may mean painful symptoms are related to the injury, not to a disease.)
During the physical examination, the doctor will look at, feel, and move each joint, evaluating it:
- For swelling, warmth, or tenderness.
- For range of motion.
- To determine the pattern of affected joints (such as one knee, both knees, knuckles, wrists, or shoulders). Often, the pattern of joints affected can help a doctor tell the difference between osteoarthritis and other types of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis.
- To note any bony knobs (osteophytic changes) on joints (especially the fingers).
The doctor will also look for any signs of unequal leg lengths, muscle weakness, or muscle wasting.
During a physical examination, the doctor also will do an evaluation of the lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys.
Why It Is Done
A medical history and physical examination are a normal and important part of the evaluation of joint pain and stiffness.
The key to diagnosing osteoarthritis is determining the pattern of joints that are affected. For example, if you have symptoms in the set of knuckle joints between the wrists and finger joints (metacarpal-phalangeal joints), the balls of the feet (metatarsal-phalangeal joints), wrists, ankles, or elbows, you probably have a different, inflammatory form of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis.
A normal joint is not painful, tender, or swollen, has a full range of motion, and appears structurally normal.
In an abnormal joint, an examination may detect pain or swelling along with a bony hardness. Other abnormal findings that suggest osteoarthritis include:
- Bony bumps on the finger joint closest to the fingernail (Heberden's nodes), bony bumps on the middle joint of the finger (Bouchard's nodes), or bony bumps at the base of the thumb.
- Tenderness and/or swelling in weight-bearing joints such as the hips and knees.
- Pain, limited movement, and/or a creaking noise or feeling (crepitus) that occurs when the joints are moved.
- Joints that have been affected by injury or infection. These joints may also show signs of bone or tissue damage.
What To Think About
Distinguishing between osteoarthritis and other types of arthritis may be difficult based on individual joint symptoms. But a pattern of symptoms may point to the type of arthritis.
