Remember those lame virtual gifts people used to annoy you with on Facebook? Well, now you can make up for those by replacing them with real-life cup of coffee, cupcakes and socks.
Facebook Gifts launched this week and U.S. users will be the first to use it, according to Facebook.
From Facebook:
U.S. & World
Choose a gift, attach a card and send. You can post your gift to your friend's timeline or send it privately. Your friend can then unwrap a preview of the gift and it will show up on their doorstep a few days later.
Apparently users can pay right away or add payment details later, but the giftee has to provide an address (it was only a matter of time before Facebook got that, right?) The odd part is that the gift just isn't sent, it's actually previewed by the giftee who chooses the color, size or flavor he or she wants -- so much for surprises.
Right now Facebook said there are "hundreds of gifts" but we mainly spied cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery in New York City, stuffed bears from Gund, ice cream, socks and Starbucks gift cards.
It's probably smart for Facebook to introduce this before the busy holiday season and bless us all with low-effort gift-giving. Even smarter is getting users to spend money on both a desktop and mobile phone.
The feature will work the same on mobile as it does on the desktop, making it one of the few Facebook features that does (and helps out their mobile revenue.)

About four months ago I contacted Fred to discuss the idea of him making a custom light for me. Seeing his Blocky Boy thread really inspired me to go after a light I'd wanted for some time. I used my wedding band as inspiration and envisioned a light that resembled it. Fast forward to last week and I finally have the light I've desired for so long. Below is a pic of the finished light and my wedding band which served as inspiration. Keep reading for more pics and info...
Besides the pic of my wedding band, I provided Fred with a few basic sketches of what I wanted. He took my kindergarten drawings and produced some fantastic illustrations in Solidworks.
It took about a month of back and forth emails to get to a point where I felt confident enough, or I should say before Fred felt confident enough in the design to start cutting metal. In the first pic below you see a practice run Fred did on the logo, the next two show the beginning of the head.
Below is more work on the head and the tapered end.
Below is a shot of the tail end before the logo was engraved. Then with the logo engraved and the finished light before plating.
Voila! Below we have my finished light, finished in a beautiful electroless nickel plating.
The completed light showed up just before my birthday on 3/26. Initially I had hoped to have it for a Christmas gift for myself, but let me tell you there is a lot more to having a custom light made than meets the eye. There seemed to be a thousand choices and changes to be made but Fred was professional during the whole process. I was amazed at the relative ease in which he transformed my ideas into Solidworks and finally into a finished product.

We began the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation to support the things we care about – music, art, education & children.
Our commitment to charity grew out of our personal backgrounds. In today's world, we would be told that a boy raised in an orphanage with a widowed mother, and a girl raised by a father whose mother was hospitalized for years, would have reasons to fail. Instead our families focused on the value of hard work and education as our paths to success.
We have a deep appreciation for the good fortune we have achieved. We went to graduate school, an M.B.A. for Rex, and a Ph.D. and M.B.A for Jeanne, all from the University of Chicago. With that education, we had the tools to form Dimensional Fund Advisors, a very successful investment fund. Raising our own three children gave us firsthand knowledge of the countless ways children learn and excel. We want students from all walks of life to be exposed to the multiple pathways to success.
Thank you for taking time to become better informed about the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation.

Did ESPN Make Your Heart Race?
There is little doubt that when ESPN commissioned documentary filmmaker Doug Pray to create a thirty-minute preview show for the network's Sprint Cup Series coverage it had any idea just how bad NASCAR fans needed a program like this.
Feel Your Heart Race was a simple little show that effectively mixed the words of fans with those of select drivers and other NASCAR personalities. Jeff Burton was featured as the driver whose comments were spread across the entire short film.
Brilliant in its simplicity, this presentation aired immediately after the first NASCAR Now special from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Allen Bestwick led Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree through a top-notch hour of NASCAR programming. Contributions also came from Nicole Manske, Marty Smith, DJ Copp and Mike Massaro in a bowling shirt.
The NASCAR Now producer struck a nice balance between offering fans information about the upcoming race and celebrating the speedway itself as a truly unique slice of American history. From taking on the Goodyear tire issue through reliving the resurrection of the speedway after World War II, this program raised the bar for NASCAR television.
The fact that Dale Jarrett was back on the air for ESPN was a godsend. His role in this coverage from studio shows to live races cannot be overstated. He has quickly become the franchise. His boundless enthusiasm for Indy, his history in winning at the speedway and his ability to relate to TV viewers is the cornerstone of ESPN's NASCAR coverage this weekend.
Pray and his film crews did what no other NASCAR TV partner has done this season. They discovered that NASCAR fans have voices, personalities and can complete sentences. Pray wandered into the infield at Daytona and brought out the type of real racing history that has zoomed past Fox, TNT and SPEED for years now.
The faces of these fans did not paint a profile of idiotic drunk rednecks, but of passionate sports fans from across the nation and beyond. These people looked like you and me for one simple reason. They are us. The readers that come to this site, the fans that tune-in every racing weekend and the families who still make vacation plans around NASCAR races.
This season, NASCAR fans have almost seen it all. NASCAR on Fox decided the lasting memory for fans would be of an animated creature whose job was to sell t-shirts. Darrell Waltrip got caught up in the Digger hysteria and never recovered. TNT lost their play-by-play announcer halfway through the summer six pack.
Jeremy Mayfield continues to detract from the racing and on Thursday afternoon DeWalt Tools thanked NASCAR and Roush Racing for over a decade of exposure for the company and walked away. The potential for other major companies to depart at the end of the season looms on a racing horizon that has not yet lightened.
Yet, there on ESPN2 were the smiling faces of Americans happily taking the time to speak to a camera while putting up tents, watching Daytona practice and walking through the infield. All shapes, sizes and ages of folks happy to be at a race and supporting their driver.
Pray and his crew didn't do anything but let people talk. Random comments, funny moments and serious topics mixed together to produce the drama that is NASCAR racing. Fans who have been to a race know that meeting other fans is simply a blast. Casual conversations turn into friendships, photos and phone numbers.
Friday, the action begins for all three of NASCAR's top series, but the focus is clearly on the Sprint Cup teams at IMS. For both NASCAR and ESPN, this is the moment to begin to get things going in a positive direction for the rest of the season.
In terms of getting that flow going, both NASCAR Now and Feel Your Heart Race delivered just what was needed. The complete TV schedule for the Indy racing weekend is listed on the right side of The Daly Planet main page. We will be live blogging the TV coverage of all three races. Join us if you can.

That picture is creepy looking - the scoring pylon looks like it needs some ExTenze from last Saturday night's ESPN2 Nationwide race.

Dang it. I thought I recorded it. Looked into the future and did not see it listed.
One of the few times JD gives a show a thumbs up and no re-air to be found. Anon 9:59 and I don't live right.

This happened to me with Ride of Their Lives. I missed two tapings of it and then it was gone from the schedule. I eventually caught a late-night re-airing, but dang-it.
CNBC is re-showing that stupid "economics of NASCAR" piece multiple times a week and probably will for months to come. Why can't ESPN re-show this thing ONE MORE TIME?

Anon, I think perhaps the story is the rubber on the track. Or, at least that is what I was trying to point out.
Right now, it does not look like this will re-air. Let me ask ESPN if they can make it available on You Tube or ESPN.com soon.
Will get back to you all Friday.

@ Anon 10:21, BSPN is showing the ESPYs again. And hey, there's that boxing match from 1971 on tomorrow night at 6PM PST. Fishing more to your liking? Bassmasters is on at 2AM Saturday.

Me again. Correction, @ Anon 10:20 not 10:21.
JD, I read you after I sent mine. My point is that BSPN has 30 mins to re-run this. Even on BSPNCL would be good.

When they were doing the piece on Tony Hulman buying the track after the war, if that was Mary Hulman George, she was a beauty. Anybody here know?

- darbar said...
It was an OK piece. But I was disappointed that it didn't focus on Indy----it was more Daytona. The fact that they did speak to fans who could speak in complete and coherent sentences was a big plus. And they did manage to show the fanatics in a decent way rather than show them as kooks or wierdos.

I missed it but things have been nuts around here with most complicated/unusual/ongoing/intermittent cable box issues. Underground utilities adds to mystery.
I gotta say, that picture is a bit odd but if I said why, would not be ladylike or prudent.

I answered my own question about Tony Hulman's wife, whose name was Rose. She was so beautiful. Mary (Mari) Hulman George is his daughter. Four children and only one grandchild, Tony George.
Sophia and anon @10:10 p.m., I had to take a second look at that scoring pylon. And, Sophia, I know exactly what you're thinking.

I haven't seen the show yet but I am sure it cannot live up to the commentary here.
I virtually never check ESPN Classic, but if this show does not re-air there, what do they show to fill time - except maybe for the last race at Riverside which I have watched parts of only about 10 times, and enjoyed.
- July 24, 2009 at 12:23 AM
- Karen said...
Richard in NC, you have a good point. Weather on NN today or yesterday said 90% chance of rain Saturday a.m. Q'ing is at 10:00 ET. So maybe if that happens and then drying the track, they'll reshow it.
Dot, it's awfully early for you to get up for Q'ing. But I'd tape it just in case.

JD, Thanks for posting the broadcast schedule otherwise I wouldn't have set the DVR.
"Feel Your Heart Race" really got me stoked for some exciting racing but I'm not sure Indy is the right track for that. Did find it ironic that BSPN doesn't broadcast a race from Daytona yet most of the racing footage was from that track. Enjoyed listening to the drivers describe their thoughts and actions at the moment of impact in an accident. Brad Keselowski impressed me as a well-spoken young driver especially when he described keeping the rush of adrenaline in check so that it didn't interfere from using his brain to make decisions behind the wheel.
As a fan who goes to several races a year, I could totally relate to fan comments on being at the track versus being on the sofa back home.
It's programming like this that a fan like me is starving to see.

Here's the sad part.
It takes a commissioned free-lance documentary producer to do the job that ESPN's entire NASCAR coverage team is incapable of doing
ESPN should be embarassed, not proud

I am certainly hoping that this serves as a wake-up call for ESPN, SPEED and the NASCAR Media Group in terms of producing more programs like this.

We saw part of it since there was a bad rain storm here in Houston we had intermittent broadcast issues. I suppose the Hulman family is related to the Rose-Hulman University some way. Many of my co-workers have attended that great school. I couldn't believe some of the old pictures but let's hope (fingers crossed) the races are fun and exciting.

I was glad to see Indy history aired. Still shocking to see the state of the track before restoration. If only some other "historic" tracks could be revived the same way.
I had a bit part in Feel Your Heart Race, from Daytona, and I'm happy with how it turned out. Brad Keselowski, especially, presented himself in a way that connected with fans. Good PR boost for his full time Cup ride campaign, can't wait to see where he lands.

- Hotaru1787 said...
The title alone sealed my decision NOT to watch. Cheesy at best.
And I forgot until the re-air on NN that it was an hour long! (I still didn't watch the whole thing) I shut it off after some demonstration 'bout tires (yawn)
- July 24, 2009 at 12:12 PM
- Jack from PA said...
I thought it was a well-produced piece. I understand the reason to air this days before their first Cup broadcast of 2009, but I don't get why ESPN had all shots of Daytona. If they were smart, they would have gone to Indy last year and made the interviews and such. Of course, maybe they did and were just to embarassed after last year's debacle.
All in all, something someone who doesn't get NASCAR should watch. Maybe it'll persuade them to go to a race, or at least think of some of the things those interviewed said when watching a race on TV.

So I'm already well into my 3rd summer in Los Angeles, CA. Previously you've read about my experiences in the Event Departments at both The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA and MTV Networks in Santa Monica, CA. However, this summer I'm on a bit of a different path. I figure there is no better time than now to give my other passion a shot. Let me share with you what my first 2 weeks back on the West Coast have been like.
I have had the opportunity to explore my passion for fashion, I guess you could say. I've been investigating the world of WARDROBE for film and TV alongside the wonderful team at Moxie Pictures in Los Angeles, CA. So far I've gotten to work on 3 different commercials as a wardrobe intern. The commercials include a 4 day shoot for TIDE, a 1 day shoot for Bic, and a 3 day shoot for EA Sports.
A typical day would be getting up at 4:30am and taking the freeway to make a 6:00am call time, and the location changes just about every day. Sometimes I drive 45 minutes to Pasadena, or over to the valley. Sometimes it's been a little closer and just a 10 minute drive to Pacific Palisades. Wherever the location, it's safe to say a wardrobe stylist spends half their time in their car and the other half on set. They practically live out of their car. A wardrobe stylist's car usually has a sewing machine, garment bags, clothing from stores or costume houses, call sheets, safety pins and more at all times. Literally, if you can think it, it's probably in a costumer's car.
Not only did I have to wake up incredibly early while being extremely jet-lagged from traveling from my home in NY to my apartment in LA, but I sometimes worked 12-15 hour days. That certainly takes some getting used to, and I threw myself into the middle of the job, not really knowing entirely what to expect. However, it's been one of the coolest experiences I've had so far. I even had the opportunity to work alongside and shadow a freelance wardrobe stylist on the set of a Glamour Magazine Shoot for the September 2012 issue.
I have also committed to an internship at Eastern Costume which is a costume house in LA where I'll be learning about and handling clothing, props, jewelry and more. The costume house has a very good reputation among wardrobers and costumers of Hollywood. They've helped dress numerous movies and commercials, and I am looking forward to working with the team at Eastern Costume starting this coming Tuesday! In addition to this internship/PA position, I am still working for MTV as a PA on events, so you can expect to be reading even more about MTV this summer, including the MTV Movie Awards 2012 and other exciting events. I promise it'll all be coming soon!
Here are some pictures from my experiences so far:

How Do you Activate Syntax???
Posted 28 September 2010 - 12:36 PM
I just upgraded Accordance to version 9 & bought the Accordance Syntax add-on, but I can't see any Syntax. The instructions say: "Select the desired syntax database to display from the Add Syntax Pane button on the right of the search window."
Well, there is no such button to the right of my search window. To the right of my search window there is just a blue circle with a sort of Q in it; nothing else.

On my Accordance screen I have these (screen eating up) menu bars from top down:
1. Mac Bar with the Apple, "Accordance," etc.
2. The Traffic light bar which also says, "Workspace"
3. An entire (space wasting) bar that says only "GNT-T"
4. Then the redundant bar that says GNT-T with pull down menu available, then the oval with Words & Verses for selection & at the right end a green do-hickey
5.Then the long search window, which right now says "John" with at extreme right a blue circle with a sort of Q in it
6. Then a bar that says "Verse 3 of 678", a slider bar for which I don't know the purpose, a faded little box with a diagonal line (left up is white, right down is faded blue). Over at the right side there is a box to check for compare texts, followed by 4 icons: 1) switch panes (pains?), 2) Add 3) a Blue book, and 4) a piece of paper with a pencil on it.
They ain't nothin that says "pop-up-menu bar."
I see no trace of Syntax.
Posted 28 September 2010 - 10:07 PM
Have you downloaded the Syntax files via Easy Install? After you do that, there should be a fourth Add button on the right edge of the search tab. In that menu you can select GNT-T or BHS-W4 syntax. These open a display pane beside the text.
Sorry, but I don't see any search tab. There is a search window.
I went to the seminar, and supposedly they upgraded my computer. Thus far I have seen nothing easy about installing.

Enoch, sorry you are having some difficulties in finding the syntax charts. Did you look at my screen shot I posted? According to the Accordance Manual, the "pop-up-menu" (see pg. 4�7 in the user manual) is located on the far right, just below the blue search button, and consists of the add texts, references tools, and notes. New in Accordance 9, the pop-up menu hosts the syntax charts.
Screen shot of search box and pop-up menu:
[attachment=1063:Screen shot 2010-09-29 at 7.44.14 AM.png]
These are the pop-up-menu icons from left to right: Add Texts, Add Reference Tool, Add Notes, and New with 9 Add Syntax.
[attachment=1064:Screen shot 2010-09-29 at 7.44.14 AM.jpg]
The icons to the right, just underneath the blue search icon is where you will find your syntax charts:
[attachment=1063:Screen shot 2010-09-29 at 7.44.14 AM.png]
IF you do not see the far right icon, which should look like this [attachment=1065:Screen shot 2010-09-29 at 7.48.18 AM.png], then you don't have the syntax charts installed.
To verify your installation, open the easy install from the Accordance drop down menu and select easy install. Then you should see, once you have unchecked the "hide installed items"box in the upper left hand corner, your order history. Verify that GNT-T.Syntax and BHS-W4.Syntax are in your order history. Like mine pictured below:
[attachment=1066:Screen shot 2010-09-29 at 7.57.05 AM.png]
IF they have not been installed, then install them and you will now have access to the syntax charts. If they are not in your order history, then I am sure the sales associates would be delighted to help.
I hope this clarified your issue.

I looked in "Account: My Products," and I note that Syntax is not listed, though I bought it on Monday at the seminar in Dallas.
Can you make it appear there so I can download it myself. I thought I had rather try that first.

By Constance Anderson Tate, World Service Council Chair and World YWCA UN Volunteer.
Today was a beautiful end-of-summer day in New York and yet not really a normal day at all over at the United Nations – more of a totally inspiring one! Some five hundred young people had lined up in a block-long queue at the gate by ten o'clock and later filled every seat in the large Trusteeship Council room to hear Pakistani student Malala Yousafzai and Secretary General Ban Ki Moon share their strong thoughts about educational goals for women and hopes for the world's future. For those of us who accompanied five young Afghan women students to the event, the session was also a reminder of the dangerous conditions facing girls in many countries and the harsh or challenging road that lies ahead for so many.
The two speakers didn't disappoint at all. Ban Ki Moon spoke of calling Malala two years ago when she was recovering from the Taliban's attempt to assassinate her in a bus and of her words then – how she said, "I've been shot but I can still walk and I can still talk and I can do anything to help, especially women and girls." He also spoke of all the crises facing the world today, saying that war stops all kinds of progress, but that we have to "put out the fires" and "keep the flame of hope alive," working for major millennium goals such as women's education and an end to poverty along with desperately needed sustainable development – the "defining issue of our times!"
Malala spoke just as strongly about her dream of seeing every child in the world able to go to school but also of the bad conditions that she has seen in her recent months of travel and trying to help with the Malala Fund that has been created in her honor. She spoke of seeing many of the 100,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan with 60,000 of them being children who now have no school. Also of her own country Pakistan, where so many girls are stuck in domestic child labour and never have a chance at education or a life before they are married off at age 13 or 14. As a contrast, she then held up the country of Trinidad and Tobago where oil and gas revenues have been used so that every person in the country gets a FREE education. As she concluded to great applause, this should truly be the goal for every country.
As Ban Ki Moon and Malala spoke, the youth audience of all nationalities responded with many of their own questions and goals, asking how to take first steps and how to protect girls and women? When the moderator asked for one-word suggestions of how Malala has helped the causes of youth and progress, one of our Afghan girls who is only 14 years old gave a cheering reply with the word "hope", saying that Malala with her courage has given girls the world over some hope that they matter and can have real lives of contribution instead of just being property and trapped in early marriage. Others mentioned such words as "drive" and "change," and one of the leaders encouraged the audience to chant the words "momentum" and "time for action" to help get the United Nations moving on these goals.
While the programme ended after only an hour, it was an impressive show of youth interest in the work of the United Nations and the impact that both Malala and Ban Ki Moon are having in such forums as courageous and outspoken leaders. Also, while Malala was obviously speaking about women's rights and equality, the audience held a large number of boys and young men, several promoting causes such as the curbing of sexual violence. So the outlook was unusually positive – even while many who attended know that the UN's Millennium goals will expire in 2015 and urgently need reenactment; also that the UN is facing a heavy dose of acute political problems that can sidetrack or slow down such humanitarian concerns and efforts.
As for our Afghan girls, they were thrilled to meet with Malala, both formally and also outside for some cherished pictures. One or two even spoke to her in Pashtun, a language shared by neighboring sections of both their countries. Since all five of our students attended a special school in Kabul called SOLA and have made remarkable progress in learning English and in being accepted in the United States for either high school or college, they are walking examples of the goals that Malala and Mr. Ban Ki Moon were both promoting. And it was thrilling to be part of such a scene here in New York, seeing the challenges for world cooperation and education as well as a sample of how it really can work and offer hope for us all.

Bromans : Roman History "ladded up" or a chance for some real interest
This evening saw the launch of the new ITV2 game / reality / sports (call it what you will) show "Bromans" where eight couples live the lives of Roman gladiators (although to be fair they are more like raw recruits than actual gladiators) and has been called the new "Love Island". Having watched that first programme, my attention was immediately taken by the reconstruction of Rome that ITV2 built (to which I would give 10 out of 10 for) but would only rank the rest of the show as 1 out of 10 (as I am pretty sure they didn't have showers in Ancient Rome, nor free alcoholic drinks at a club just for the gladiators) but wanted to know what other members thought particularly with a view to generating interest in Roman re-enactment?

Since there were around 6 of us, we decided to go ahead to order the pizza set for 4 comprising of two regular pan pizza, 4 garlic breads, 4 mushroom soups and a jug of Pepsi drink. We took a separate order of 2 more soups to cater for all of us. Anyway, do check out the dishes we had this afternoon.
|The Menu
|#1 Mushroom Soup
|#2 Garlic Bread
|#3 Pepsi
|#4 Thai Spicy Seafood Pan Pizza
|#5 Hawaiian Chicken Pan Pizza
|Colleagues, Interns and friends: Shun Ru, Lau, Joanne, David, Me, and Kok Beng
The set for four was priced at RM49.70 (before tax) while the ala-carte soup was charged at RM2.80 per bowl. The price came out to about RM64 for 6 hungry folks, which wasn't really cheap to me because I still felt rather hungry after the meal. I did not order any extra side dishes because I felt it was better not to overstuff myself during lunch breaks. Time to work out and start dieting soon!

Antique Locomotive destined for display at S.L.A.M.
Published: 07/11/2013 11:00:00
There's a very large piece of local history that's come home again after an absence of almost ninety years. It's an electric locomotive, used during the old mining days, repatriated in 2008 compliments of the California State Railroad Museum, and destined for display at the new State Library Archives Museum. Kyle Wyatt, the Curator of History and Technology for the California Museum, told us how the Locomotive came home to Juneau
VIDEO: 1914 Baldwin Electric Locomotive used in the Alaska-Gastineau Mine will be Centerpiece at State Library Archives Museum. (Image: Alaska State Museum)
"This locomotive was built in 1914 and was built in Philadelphia for the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company, It operated until about 1920-21 when that operation shut down and they sold the locomotive to a cement plant that was down near Santa Cruz California, Santa Cruz Portland Cement Company. And it operated there for about sixty years.
Finally in the 1980's it was retired, replaced with a conveyor belt, and the locomotives were acquired by a private individual who ultimately gave them to the railroad museum. In 2008 we were reviewing some of our collections and concluding that some things were maybe a bit surplus to some of our needs and I got to thinking 'Well, where would be an appropriate home for one? Well this thing operated in Alaska, I wonder if the Alaska State Museum would have any interest in it?'
As you may know, the Museum is building a new building and there is a place in that building that has specifically been designed to receive this locomotive, will be part of a mining display on Alaska Mining, and they've actually reinforced the floor to receive the locomotive, the locomotive will be restored, so it will be a centerpiece on mining history in Alaska."

No wonder "The Office" season finale needs 50 minutes. That's roughly one minute per special guest star cameo.
Word is that comedy juggernaut Jim Carrey will be heading to the Dunder-Mifflin offices, joining a cameo roster that already includes Ricky Gervais, Will Arnett, James Spader, and Ray Romano.
These cameos - as well as the current four-episode run featuring Will Ferrell - are continuing to fuel rumors about just who will be replacing departing star Steve Carell.
U.S. & World
We'd be stunned if Carrey actually signs on for a long-term gig, but who knows? It's not like he's been lighting up the box office lately like he had in the past.
"Office" star John Krasinkski recently told HitFlix.com that no matter who takes over Carell's desk, the rest of the cast will be ready to play.
"The show sans-Steve it's a whole new show so we're actually really excited," Krasinksi said. "The last two episodes this year are without Steve and without Will and they were awesome. They were really, really fun and as much as we will miss Steve for sure it's kind of great to pick up this show in a whole different way. It's really fun."

Conan O'Brien barreled head-on into swirling rumors about his and Jay Leno's NBC shows Friday night, ripping into Leno and the chat-show controversy with a monologue full of wisecracks just an hour after Leno delivered his own set of jabs at the late-night rumor mill.
O'Brien began his "Tonight Show" monologue by telling the audience he'd address a set of "rumors" about his show, most notably reports NBC would put Leno's prime-time program back in its 11:35 slot and move O'Brien, who replaced Leno, back to following Leno at 12:05.
News also surfaced Friday evening that Fox network executives were eyeing O'Brien closely and would make moves to snap the late-night host up if he leaves NBC, according to an Associated Press source. O'Brien didn't address the Fox rumors on the show, but made plenty of digs at Leno and the late-night shuffle.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"We've got a great show for you tonight. I have no idea what time it will air, but it's going to be a great show," O'Brien quipped at the start of his monologue.
"I'm sure you've heard all the rumors," he joked. "NBC has come up with an exciting new idea, they want me to follow Jay Leno."
O'Brien continued the joke throughout the monologue, deadpanning that lawyers had asked him to refer to "Tonight" as "The Sometime-at-Night Show With Some White Guy." The host also took pot shots at Leno himself, doing an impression of the uniquely voiced late-night icon while roasting Leno's notorious obsession with classic cars.
After the monologue, O'Brien continued the show with his "The Crisis" segment, jokingly addressing in succession a series of laughable rumors about him and Leno. Among the cooked-up scenarios O'Brien riffed off:
- "'The Tonight Show' will be an iPhone app and the Jay Leno show will become an XBox game."
- "Jay and I will be joining the cast of "Jersey Shore" as a new character called 'The Awkward Situation.'"
- "I'm pregnant with Jay's baby."
- "Jay's pregnant with my baby."
- "We're both pregnant with Tiger Woods' babies."
The final jab: "NBC is going to throw me and Jay in a pit with sharpened sticks. The one who crawls out gets to leave NBC."
O'Brien's Friday late-night rant followed Leno's Thursday night prime-time monologue, during which the other former late-night host also poked fun at the potential shuffle.
Leno followed his Thursday act with a brief discussion of the late-night craziness during his Friday show, pulling CBS host David Letterman into the mix with a comment about Letterman's reported dalliances with staff -- and that since Leno's show is facing low ratings, Leno's efforts to steer clear of Letterman's mistakes were all for naught.
"You know what this means? I didn't sleep with my staff for nothing," Leno joked.
The former late-night host also took a jab at his own program, joking during a bit about the newly released list of species about to be extinct that the most endangered species is "us (his prime-time show)."

Helping Hands for the Disabled of NYC
Here is a link to our downloadable brochure
Please call our Info Line for up to date information at 1-773-572-6327.
a non-profit organization. We have been serving the New York community for 29 years.
In 1982 a group of us decided that there were not enough recreational opportunities for people with disabilities that provided accessible services. For example: trips that would have guides for the blind, wheelchair accessible vans and sign language interpreters.
We began organizing trips once a month that included necessary access services that allowed disabled people to enjoy more recreational events. We also made our own choices about what kind of things were appropriate for our needs.
As the years went on we realized disabled people needed help in their homes particularly the totally blind who require assistance with tasks such as reading mail, filling out paperwork, running errands and keeping medical appointments.
We have always worked with volunteers to provide these services. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and many of them are also disabled. We are always looking for volunteers.
Any disabled person age 18 years and older can become a member of our organization.
Helping Hands for the Disabled Of NYC is fortunate to have the support of our community. You can do your part to help the community. There are many ways you can help, whether its volunteering, participating in a fundraising event or making a donation.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
Are you able to run errands, read your mail, go shopping, take yourself for a walk at will. For some of our disabled members this is quite difficult. That is why we need your help. If you would like to volunteer please give us a call at 718-606-9712 or 917-696-8115 or email us at
We need donations of gift cards that we can distribute to disabled adults sothat they can purchase food. If you can help let us know. No amount is too small.

UNC Lineberger launches 44 county study of breast cancer in black women
A new study seeking to improve scientists' understanding of breast cancer, including why the disease's fatality rate is higher in African-American women, is getting underway in 44 counties in North Carolina.
The project, named after the late Jeanne Hopkins Lucas, a North Carolina state senator who died of breast cancer last year, is being run by the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The research is an extension of the Carolina Breast Cancer Study, one of the largest breast cancer databases in the United States.
Potential participants will be identified from among women living in the 44 North Carolina counties, as participating hospitals report newly diagnosed breast cancer cases to the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry. Using a scientifically selected study sample, UNC researchers will contact the physician of record prior to contacting the patient about the study.
Robert Millikan, D.V.M., Ph.D., Barbara Sorensen Hulka Distinguished Professor of Epidemiology in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, is the study's principal investigator. Mary Beth Bell, project manager of the Carolina Breast Cancer Study, is coordinating the project team, which includes nurse interviewers, recruitment specialists, outreach coordinators and others. The study is supported by the University Cancer Research Fund.
"Black women under the age of 50 have a high mortality rate from breast cancer, almost twice that of younger white women," said Millikan. "We will address this pressing health disparity by enlarging upon the Carolina Breast Cancer Study, which enrolled over 2,300 women with breast cancer and 2,000 control subjects between 1993 and 2001."
One of the Lucas study's primary aims is to investigate subtypes of breast cancer, continuing discoveries made by the Carolina Breast Cancer Study. Data from the existing study were key to a 2006 finding by a UNC Lineberger team that included Millikan, molecular biologist Charles Perou, Ph.D., associate professor in the departments of genetics and of pathology and laboratory medicine in the School of Medicine, and breast cancer specialist Lisa Carey, M.D., associate professor of medicine in the School of Medicine and medical director of the UNC Breast Center. They found that premenopausal black breast cancer patients have the highest prevalence of a subtype of breast cancer called "basal like" cancer.
"Between now and 2012 we will enroll an additional 1,000 black women with newly diagnosed cases of invasive breast cancer – half under the age of 50 and half aged 50 and older – and a similar number and distribution of white women with breast cancer," Millikan said. "The Lucas Study will more than double the number of black breast cancer patients in the original study. We will also follow the 2,000 women for two years following diagnosis to examine disparities in treatment and access to care."
Millikan said the help of doctors and hospitals would be key to the study's success. "Since this study is not one for which women can volunteer, the help of physicians is vital to us as we reach out to recruit participants in these counties," he said. For the study results to be unbiased, women must be selected through a scientific randomization process, and an equal number of black women and white women will be recruited over a four-year period.
No treatment of any kind will be given as part of the study. Participants will be interviewed in their homes by trained nurses regarding breast cancer risk factors, and a DNA blood sample will be taken to help determine factors that women with breast cancer have in common. Researchers will also request patients' permission to access their medical records relating to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
An advocacy board consisting of breast cancer survivors and others interested in various aspects of breast cancer research has been established to guide the study design and the entire study process.
"We are committed to the success of this study as we have evidenced the devastating impact of breast cancer in young African American women," said Valarie Worthy, president of the Sisters Network Triangle NC.
Participating counties are: Alamance, Beaufort, Bertie, Bladen, Brunswick, Cabarrus, Chatham, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Davidson, Davie, Duplin, Durham, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Franklin, Granville, Greene, Guilford, Harnett, Iredell, Johnston, Jones, Lee, Lenoir, Martin, Mecklenburg, Moore, Nash, New Hanover, Onslow, Orange, Pamlico, Pender, Pitt, Randolph, Rowan, Sampson, Tyrrell, Wake, Washington, Wayne and Wilson.

Noel Sardalla gives CAW's Hilles Gallery a floating floral bed (video)
NEW HAVEN -- It's become a rite of summer. Suddenly, through the large windows of the Hilles Gallery at Creative Arts Workshop sprouts a large installation meant to pique the passerby, visible 24/7 through the month that's the unofficial end of summer.
New Haven artist Noel Sardalla's work "here/there/everywhere" literally did sprout. A floating carpet of colorful paper flowers, it looks like a delicate blanket just tossed in the wind and floating toward the ground.
The installation was inspired by his fascination with gardens, from aspects biological, existential and aesthetic.
And from some purely organic personal feelings.
"I lived in Hamden for 10 years and had a garden, which was attached to the house," he says. "I loved working in it when I came home from work. I found it very meditative. I would forget about everything at the end of the day. When I moved to New Haven, I missed it significantly, and visited other people's gardens. Still, that doing it yourself, getting your hands dirty ..."
In his proposal for the installation, Sardalla noted an interest also in "why we create them, why humans enclose or set apart natural areas for cultivation, contemplation or recreation. ... "
He says he was intrigued by their paradox: how they may be confined to "an orderly space," yet at the same time be "compact or unruly" and "hold the promise of life, or the memory of life. To a gardener, it is a capricious object of love -- here, there and everywhere."
Sardalla, a native of the Philippines, grew up in California, and is now a part-time student in graphic design at the University of New Haven, where he also works in the advancement department. He has also studied graphic design at Paier College of Art, stone carving and book arts at Creative Arts Workshop, and exhibited his sculpture, installations, collages and graphic design in the Greater New Haven area.
Like a knitter creating a quilt, Sardalla painstakingly created 2,000 flowers of art paper and carefully selected junk mail which fit his color aesthetic. He pieced together the monofilament grid into 16 panels measuring 3 by 5 feet, the flowers woven into the squares.
One can easily identify several varieties of flora.
"I was on this quest to try and make botanically accurate flowers," he says, "but the problem is it can get infinitely complex, so I limited it to 24 flower types which had to fulfill two criteria: they had to be quick enough that I could do each one in 5 minutes, and they had to be readable or recognizable as flowers from a distance."
That they are: sunflowers, lilies, roses, tulips, daisies, and "what I call lotuses, but are like ersatz lotuses."
He stored them in ziplock bags as he finalized the exact concept.
"I would like to have gone bigger," he says, "but I ran into support structures. But I knew I didn't want any part of it touching the ground. It's really kind of a conceptual garden. I think of it as a future garden or a garden in space. This is what an astronaut's garden would look like," he says with a smile.
Speaking of smiles, while Sardalla's work does explore the concept of boundaries, and yes, it is confined in its own space, the effect of the floating flower work is freedom and just pure joy. Every person who came up to the window smiled, which makes Sardalla smile.
"My favorite thing is even when I was working on it and figuring out how to hang it, I would notice little kids running up to the window to look at it.
"Maybe it was the colors, but I love that sort of accessibility. I like the idea that what I do operates on different levels ... a 4-year-old can think it's pretty.
"I appreciate and do like minimalist conceptual art, but at the same time, I'm always a bit afraid that if it gets too conceptual, the average lay person gets turned off, so I work to occupy this middle ground between representational and conceptual."

This is the ultimate collection for modern parents who demand nothing less than the best for their children. Included is the sleekly designed, fully-packed, Quinny Buzz 3 stroller, the acclaimed, compatible Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat, Quinny Dreami Bassinet, Quinny Foot Muff, and a Fashionable Diaper Bag. What more could you ask from one collection?
The Quinny Buzz 3 Wheel stroller is immediately recognizable by its superb design and unique automatic fold-out system. Thanks to a specially preformed ergonomic seat, the new Quinny Buzz offers even more comfort. With its futuristic design, the Quinny Buzz is a real eye-catcher. The use of a revolutionary gas spring technique means that the stroller unfolds itself fully automatically. No more wrestling with the stroller to open it. The Quinny Buzz is made of lightweight matte silver aluminum. The double swivel wheel on the front ensures exceptional maneuverability.
Optimal comfort
The new and improved seat design on the Quinny buzz guarantees optimal comfort. The ergonomic design is child-friendly and the seat is made of soft material. The front and rear wheel suspension make sure that even the smallest of children lies comfortably in this shock resistant stroller. There is also a choice of three reclining and sitting positions and the option to place the seat in a forward or rear facing position.
The Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat offers European style while providing the ultimate in comfortable transportation. Includes EPP foam for energy absorption, plush cozi dozi infant insert and a stay in car base. The Micos weighted base (included) installs in a rear-facing configuration with LATCH connectors, but you can also install the carseat using only your vehicles safety belts and the carriers special belt guides. Compatible with the Quinny Buzz and the Quinny Zapp. For children 5-22 lbs. and up to 29 inches.
In the summer of 2007, the European-based Maxi-Cosi brand made its long-awaited U.S. debut, bringing more options to parents on this side of the pond who want car seats that are both safe and stylish. Maxi-Cosi is part of the Dorel Juvenile Group, a global child product manufacturer that also markets other leading baby product brands, including Quinny, Cosco, and Safety 1st.
The Maxi-Cosi Mico is a rear-facing only car seat suitable for infants from five to 22 pounds and 19 to 29 inches tall. Most safety experts agree that newborns are best protected in rear-facing only seats, rather than those that convert from rear to forward facing. Rear-facing only car seats are better suited for a smaller body and allow the baby to travel in a semi-reclined position, relieving pressure on the spine and neck.
The Maxi-Cosi Mico includes a car seat base that conveniently stays in your vehicle, while the removable car seat doubles as an infant carrier and includes a contoured, adjustable carry handle. Many parents enjoy the convenience of stay-in-the-car bases, which allow the infant car seat to be quickly removed from the vehicle without having to wake a sleeping baby. The Maxi-Cosi Mico can be partnered with the Quinny Buzz or Quinny Zapp stroller to create a stylish and lightweight travel system thats perfect for transporting an infant in safety and comfort. The Quinny Buzz and Zapp strollers can be used independent of the Mico car seat once your baby reaches at least six months old and is able to sit upright unassisted.
The key to any travel system is the seat base, and the Mico base allows the car seat to be locked securely into place or swiftly and quietly removed with one easy click. The Maxi-Cosi Micos base features an adjustment lever that allows the front of the base to be raised or lowered for a perfectly level fit in any vehicle seat. To make leveling even easier, the Mico seat shell includes a "level line" to help guide installation. The Maxi-Cosi Mico seat base is compatible with lap belt and shoulder belt harnesses as well as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) anchoring system that accompanies most vehicles made after 2003 and a few models made in 2000 to 2002. If you do not have the LATCH anchoring system or if youll be using the car seat in an older model automobile without self-locking safety belts, the Maxi-Cosi Mico includes a locking clip that will enable you to tightly secure the vehicles seat belt. The locking clip is conveniently stored on the back of the child seat.
The Maxi-Cosi Mico infant car seat includes a five-point harness and four harness heights to ensure a secure fit for your growing baby. An up-front harness adjustment strap and release lever make it easy to snug or relax the harness. Mico seats are equipped with energy-absorbing EPP foam that cushions and protects the precious passenger for a safe and comfortable ride. Newborns and smaller children will be extra comfy with the plush Cozi-Dozi insert that comes standard with every Maxi-Cosi Mico car seat. The Mico also features harness covers to protect babys delicate neck from irritation. Parents can rest assured that the Maxi-Cosi Micos harness covers, seat fabric, and newborn insert are all removable and washable. The Mico also features an integrated canopy with see-through side windows, so baby can satisfy her curiosity by gazing out at the passing world while still being protected from the sun.
In addition to safety, function, and comfort, the Maxi-Cosi Mico is one of the most chic and eye-catching infant car seats on the market. The Micos clean lines and modern, stylish color schemes are perfect for parents who want striking color without a bold or obnoxious pattern. The Mico is available in six styles: Penguin, Ocean Reflection, Juice, Lemonade, Happy Flower, and Tan Tech. Matching accessories are available, including the Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat Footmuff to keep your baby warm and cozy in colder climates, as well as the Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat Netting and Rain Shield to protect from insects and the elements.
For those parents who plan to travel by air during their babys first year, the Maxi-Cosi Mico car seat is approved for aircraft use, meaning you can secure the Mico into an aircraft seat to keep your baby safe and your hands and lap free. Of course, always check with your airline for any size requirements or other regulations regarding child seats.
American parents are quickly learning why the Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat is a long-time favorite among European moms and dads. BabyEarth.com carries the Maxi-Cosi Mico and related accessories in all six vibrant colors, as well as the compatible Quinny Buzz and Quinny Zapp strollers to create a complete infant travel system.
The Quinny Dreami Bassinet is the ideal accessory for your Quinny Buzz and is the perfect way to take your newborn for walks as they will be lying flat on the comfy mattress. It attaches easily to the Quinny Buzz chassis using the click on, click off system making it effortless as well as secure (the fixing brackets are supplied with the Quinny Buzz pushchair).

A protest song
Littie boxes Words and music by M. Reynolds
From "A Song-book of Folk and Pop Music"
by Mario Papa & Giuliano Iantorno, Zanichelli Editore, Bologna, 1977
Little boxes (1) on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky tacky (2)
Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same.
There's a green one, then a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses all go to the university
And they all get put in boxes, little boxes, all the same.
And there's doctors and there's lawyers and business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf-course (3) and drink their Martini dry
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school.
And the children go to summer camp (4) and then to the university
And they all get put in boxes and they all come out the same.
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
And they all get put in boxes, little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one, and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
(1) Little boxes is a metaphor for the clean and neat American houses and cottages which are all alike. In
this song, however, `little boxes' means also com¬partments, categories.
(2) Ticky tacky: trashy material.
(3) Golf-course: it is the area where golf is played. It is a green open area with nine or eighteen holes. A person plays a round of golf when he plays eighteen holes in their correct order. He hits the ball into the holes.
4. Summer camp: nowadays camping is known ali over the world as an important source of enjoyment and recreation for many people. In the USA there are summer camps where school departments, colleges and uni¬versities send young people for a week or more. Nearly every¬where, camping has become an important business. Millions of dollars are spent each year on hunting, fishing and camping e¬quipment.
The housing problem
The housing crisis in the United States and in Great Britain is a big problem. The quality of housing in the United States has been improving in recent years, but thousands of families stili live in poor, unsanitary and overcrowded dwellings. Many Negroes, groups of Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and other immigrants live in these poor areas, called 'slums', and it is very difficult for these minority groups to improve their conditions because of prejudice and discrimination. In April, 1968, Congress passed a Civil Rights Bill which aimed at eliminating discrimination on the base of race, colour or religion in the sale or in the rent of most hpusing. But the situation is still bad.
In Great Britain things are not much better. There are not enough houses, especially in London and other industrial cities. Many people spend the night in bus-shelters or or on park benches; others live in a tent or in a van. Moreover, there are still some three million substandard dwellings (houses that do not have inside W.C. or bath or hot water), generally inhabited by immigrants. These slums are being cleared at the rate of 70,000 houses destroyed each year, but a lot of people are going to wait a long time before they can leave damp, mice and lice behind and live in a new house.
The present government is trying to do something, and an important contribution to the housing programme is being made by the 'New Towns', built primarily to relieve congestion in the big cities. Most of the new houses being built are for families of four to six people and have three bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, and they are let at a relatively low rent to large families or to those with small incomes. There have also been interesting experiments in tiny flats on the ground floor, or with special lifts for old or disabied people who wish to be independent.
In general, however, English families prefer two-storey houses with gardens, but only the lucky ones can get them.

Philosopher of science Ian Hacking writes that our world is one of classifications, and these classifications, or names, have a particular effect when they refer to the behavior of people. This article seeks to present what ADHD is and how it appears in children. It then discusses the conversion of undesirable behaviors into symptoms, which underlies the identification of ADHD as a disease. From these considerations, a more general model about the interaction between classifications and classified people is proposed, based on Hacking's distinction between indifferent and interactive kinds, and also on the concept of the looping effect proposed by that author. Finally, the model is applied to ADHD, and some remarks are made regarding the concepts of social control put forward by Peter Conrad.

Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh found out on Monday that he won't be suspended for kicking Texans quarterback Matt Schaub. But at the rate Suh is going, it may be just a matter of time before his drivers license is suspended.
FOX 2 in Detroit is reporting that Suh was ticketed in Lathrup Village, Michigan, on November 15 for failure to use due care and caution. That is at least Suh's fourth traffic incident within the past year: A month earlier Suh and another driver both said they were sideswiped by each other. In March, Suh was ticketed for driving 91 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone. A year ago, while Suh was serving his suspension for his infamous Thanksgiving stomp of Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith, he was ticketed for an accident in which he drove into a tree in Portland, Oregon.
Suh's bad driving goes back to his college days at Nebraska: He was cited for negligent driving in college when he sideswiped several parked cars in an incident that he said was caused by swerving to avoid hitting an animal.
It might be time for Suh to use some of the $68 million in his five-year contract with the Lions to hire himself a full-time chauffeur.

I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on improving our conditions and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.

Big News: I Am Lyme-Free!
But, yesterday, he pronounced me officially graduated from my Lyme treatment! The office even gave me a caramel-covered lollipop to celebrate :)
For those new to my blog, this celebration was a long time coming.
I have had CFS for 10 years now, since March 1, 2002. About 3 1/2 years ago, I suddenly had some new symptoms - nausea and knee pain - and I knew immediately that I had gotten Lyme disease. However, my antibody blood test came back negative (which is the case for many people with Lyme disease), and my doctor refused to give me antibiotics. A sobbing outburst followed (mine), and - to make a long story short - eventually, my doctor did agree to try antibiotics. She saw that I responded to them immediately - first with a few days of all of my symptoms disappearing, followed by a sudden worsening of symptoms (the classic herx reaction) - and she agreed that I did have Lyme disease.
Despite her initial reaction, she is actually an excellent doctor who does understand the complexities of Lyme disease, so when my symptoms returned after quitting antibiotics after several months of treatment, she said, "I feel comfortable treating you with the standard protocol (200 mg daily of doxycycline pills) for up to 6 months, but if that doesn't work and you need something different, you will need to go see a Lyme specialist. You'll have to go out of state - there's not a single Infectious Disease doctor here who will treat Lyme disease without a positive blood test."
So, I took her advice and asked around and found a Lyme specialist about 90 minutes away, in New Jersey, who could see me and seemed to be well-respected and not an extremist. He immediately doubled my dose of doxycycline. I tried quitting antibiotics again about a year later, and again, my Lyme symptoms (mainly nausea and knee pain plus worsening CFS symptoms) returned. At that point, he began adding additional medications and supplements to my regimen, designed to get at the Lyme spirochetes (a type of bacteria similar to that which causes syphilis) that were hiding in my tissues.
Finally, this January, after 3 1/2 years of treatment, I tried stopping all Lyme meds again, and this time, it worked! At that point, I was taking an extra 28 pills a day, just for Lyme, in addition to everything I take for ME/CFS. The high-dose doxycycline caused horrible side effects, including nausea, vomiting, and extreme sun sensitivity. I was so relieved to quit all that on January 1! It is such a pleasure to be able to go outdoors without covering every millimeter of my body from the sun.
So, that's my story. It's an unusual one, since I had CFS first and then got Lyme 7 years into it. Lyme and/or its co-infections are very often misdiagnosed as CFS, and Lyme is also one of many known triggers for CFS. So, for many people, the Lyme comes first (even if they don't know it right away).
I was dismissed as a patient, but I will still be traveling to see the Lyme doctor with my 17-year old son, who has not only Lyme disease but two of its co-infections, babesia and bartonella. Jamie's case is much more complicated. He has 3 tick-borne infections, and he probably has had them for about 5 years. In his case, an early Lyme infection, 8 years ago, is probably what triggered his CFS to start, but that was caught early and treated effectively. A couple of years later, his CFS had improved dramatically with Orthostatic Intolerance (OI) treatment (as it often does), and he was doing quite well when he got Lyme again about 5 years ago. He was again treated; however, he was never tested at that time for any other tick-borne infections.
Experts say that it is impossible to get rid of Lyme completely when there are co-infections present, so we think that is what happened with him - he probably had these infections all along, but we didn't know it. He improved somewhat with standard Lyme treatment (30 days of doxycycline) but did not return to his earlier level of functioning completely. He gradually worsened over the next 5 years - very gradually so that it wasn't obvious to us at first. We thought he was dealing only with CFS.
It took some very unusual non-CFS symptoms to emerge a few years ago - especially pain in the soles of his feet and strange stretch-mark-like lines on his back - for us to finally realize he had bartonella. I took him to see my Lyme specialist, and he also tested positive for Lyme and babesia. Other new or worsening symptoms - like light sensitivity, night sweats, and worsening OI - that were due to tick infections, we had just chalked up to CFS. I forgot the Golden Rule that my family doctor is always reminding me of - "Just because you have CFS doesn't mean you can't get something else. Always check out any new or worsening symptoms."
So, now, Jamie is about 18 months into his treatment for the 3 tick-borne illnesses. Having all three for over five years makes getting rid of all those infections very difficult. He has been mostly bedridden this past year as a result of his treatment and is just now beginning to show some small signs of improvement. Even after all this time, he can still only tolerate 1 doxycycline pill every 2 days (because his body is having trouble clearing the dead bugs (i.e. toxins)), so we know he still has a long, difficult road ahead of him. But at least we are on the right track now, and my recovery gives us additional hope that some day, Jamie will be able to lead a more normal life.
I shared all these details of our struggles here because our experiences are not at all unusual. In fact, I have heard similar stories from hundreds of CFS patients over the past 10 years - people with CFS who had no idea they also had Lyme disease. Despite hearing the same story over and over, I still didn't recognize when it happened to my own son.
So, if your ME/CFS symptoms have worsened over the years instead of improving or if the standard treatments - for sleep dysfunction, for OI, for endocrine dysfunction - haven't resulted in improvement for you, then you should consider whether you might have underlying infections - either Lyme and other tick-borne infections and/or reactivated viruses. In fact, everyone diagnosed with ME/CFS should be thoroughly tested for Lyme disease AND its co-infections because they are often impossible to differentiate from CFS by symptoms alone (of course, the tests aren't very accurate, so you need to look at both test results and symptoms). Lyme has been found in all 50 states and on all continents except Antarctica, so this applies no matter where you live.
As for us, we are celebrating this week!

Wonderful News Sue, it must feel so good. And thanks for sharing a few details about how you got diagnosed and the symptoms that were "newer" and different...I hadn't realized.
Now if you could only "get rid" of the M.E. right?
great post, so informative! I am so happy that you have gotten rid of it and I hope the best for your son!
