Venue: Nurburgring
Circuit Length: 5.148 Km
Laps: 60
Lap Record: 1:29.468 = 207.144 km/h - M. Schumacher (Ferrari) 2004
Odd note:
The 'Ring resounds in motor racing memories as one of the old cathedrals of the sport, a daunting challenge to drivers, many of whom died in competition, and a fabled place of heroic deeds, but the track on which the modern Formula 1 teams will compete this weekend is something quite different to that remembered as the Nurburgring-Nordschleife. Indeed, the new Nurburgring, built to replace the old track following its final hosting of the German race in 1976, when Niki Lauda's life was saved by fellow-drivers who dragged him from his blazing and wrecked Ferrari, was not opened until 1984 and signalled a new era of safety standards and a new age. In modern times, it hosts the German Grand Prix every other year, sharing the privilege with Hockenheim. Most oddly, the Nurburgring has hosted Grands Prix under three different names: in 1984, 1995-96, 1999-2007 it hosted the Grand Prix of Europe; in 1985, 2009 and 2011 the German Grand Prix and in 1997-98 the Grand Prix of Luxembourg.
Very odd note:
Briton Johnny Herbert's final F1 victory came at the Nürburgring in 1999. It was also the first and only win for Stewart Grand Prix. After being sold to Jaguar, and then Red Bull Racing, the' same' team won at the circuit again in 2009….And that victory was Mark Webber's first in F1.
The Track:
Set in the Eifel mountains, surrounded by forests and fields, the circuit is a pale imitation of its predecessor and demands a compromise in set-up, but offers drivers a satisfying opportunity to enjoy a smooth flow of mixed-speed corners with short straights and chicanes. "The Nurburgring is a track that seems to encourage close racing and plenty of overtaking," says the 2009 world champion Jenson Button. "The combination of low- and medium-speed corners tend to allow cars to run quite closely, and there are a couple of big braking zones, where it's quite easy to get alongside and steal the inside line. However, it's got some nicely designed sections, which mean - equally – that you can lose out on the entry and yet retake position if you have better traction and track position on the exit."
Q: In which year did Sebastian Vettel dominate and win the German Grand Prix, lapping the entire field to demonstrate his outright supremacy? Answer below.
What's unusual?
Somewhat unexpectedly, Ferrari are the team with the most impressive overall German Grand Prix record with a mighty 21 victories, well ahead of nine wins for Williams and eight for McLaren. Surprisingly, Ferrari's longest winning sequence was three consecutive races between 1951 and 1953: two for Alberto Ascari followed by a final F1 victory for Nino Farina. In modern times, Michael Schumacher, with four, has the most German Grand Prix wins of any driver in the F1 World Championship era. Schumacher's victory in 1995 was the first for a German national at his home grand prix since Rudolf Caracciola's final win. Caracciola won the German Grand Prix six times between 1926 and 1939 – five of Caracciola's wins came on the Nordschleife and the other at Avus.
Who's hot?
Nico Rosberg is the driver with momentum as he goes in search of his third 'home' win this season, having triumphed at the Monaco and British Grands Prix for Mercedes. Monaco is his home race, as he grew up and lives there, while Silverstone is the circuit nearest to the Mercedes team's base, just 15 kilometres away, at Brackley. Though Rosberg is the son of the original flying Finn, 1982 world champion Keke Rosberg, Germany is his motherland (yes, his mum is German) and home also to the team owners Mercedes. In addition to his two wins, Rosberg has claimed pole three times this year.
Who's not?
Despite sitting on top of the drivers' championship, defending triple world champion Sebastian Vettel failed to score a point at Silverstone, for the first time in 15 races, thanks to a gearbox problem. This setback reduced his lead to 21 points ahead of Fernando Alonso of Ferrari. And Vettel has never won on home soil in the German Grand Prix. His best so far is a single second place finish in 2009. Yes, it was a trick question!
2012 Results (race held at Hockenheim)
Pole Position: Fernando Alonso (Scuderia Ferrari); 1:40.621 = 163.647 km/h
1st: Fernando Alonso (Scuderia Ferrari) 1:31.05.862
2nd: Jenson Button (Vodafone McLaren Mercedes)
3rd: Kimi Raikkonen (Lotus F1 Team)
Fastest Lap: Michael Schumacher (Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team); 1:18.725 = 209.163 km/h on Lap 57
Webber / Ricciardo Watch
Mark has raced twice and enjoyed one win and one third place at this event at the Nurburgring in 2009 and 2011 respectively. So, with better fortune than that which he enjoyed at Silverstone where he recovered from an early collision with Romain Grosjean's Lotus to finish a storming second, he should at least complete his set of podiums. Having announced he will leave Formula One for sportscar racing at the end of the year, he will drive with the same freedom that saw him almost win last Sunday – and could secure his 10th career victory. Note, too, that Mark has been on pole both times previously and will be seeking another pole to complete a hat-trick. Daniel was in fine form also at Silverstone where he qualified fifth and finished eighth for Toro Rosso, clearly staking a claim to succeed his fellow-Aussie at Red Bull next year. In his one previous race at the 'Ring, he finished 19th after qualifying 23rd. He is almost certain to do a lot better this time.

Gallery: The Greenest Library in New York Opens Today
The Battery Park Library finally opens today and it just so happens to be the greenest library branch of the New York Public Library system! Certified LEED Gold and built at the base of a LEED certified condominium high rise, the new community addition will certainly be a source of pride for area residents. The new library boasts the use of recycled materials, lots of high tech computer gadgetry to keep up with the times, and books, of course.
The new library was designed by 1100 Architects, and is located at the base of the Riverhouse, a luxury condominium high rise surrounded by green space at Rockefeller Park. Bao Ong of the NYTimes toured the library and reports that the 2-story building features "wood floors constructed from window frame scraps, old truck tires laid out as carpet, and a terrazzo staircase made of recycled glass and mirrors." A large touch screen computer at the base of the stairs will show patrons how much energy and water is being consumed by the library. At a cost of $6.7 million, the library also includes 10 laptop computers for patrons to check out for use inside the library.
Due to budget cuts the new green library may only be open 3-4 days a week in order to cut down on energy and operational costs. Regardless, after 11 years in the making, Battery Park-ites are very excited about their new library space. Billy Parrot, the new library manager, says "I think they've been waiting so long for a library here, there's just this sense of relief that it's finally happening." Naturally inside, there are a lot of books, but Parrot says, "A lot of people still have that stereotype that libraries are just books. We're a lot more than that."

Battery Park City is not the same thing as Battery Park; the author was apparently confused on that difference. TDW, your comment seems to be in response to mine, but it\'s not clear what your point is…
May 26, 2010 at 2:59 pm
Plenty of Battery Park-ites I know, including me, are thrilled about this new branch and do go. One mile? Boo-hoo.
March 19, 2010 at 11:51 am
This is not the "Battery Park Library", it is the Battery Park City Library. It is one mile from Battery Park and BPC is unrelated to Battery Park. Residents of BPC are certainly not "Battery Park-ites".

Thank you for your quick response Eric
that's right you have to be very attentive to all the screws and especially the magnetized screwdriver is essential (on the photo below the tools I used !)
Disassembling reassembling the head took me nearly 3 hours, as my 9900 is relatively new o-rings are in good condition and remain in place
I had the shop that sells print heads on the phone yesterday (luckily I speak German!...Französisch mit einem Akzent...lol) And there seems to be no problem with them for a new head, (around 900$) if i order it I will receive it within 48 hours, in fact this store is the largest reseller for Europe, after there are also many other stores that sell print heads but mainly in Asia and in China, but that makes me a little scared!
the technician also asked me to check the cables connecting the head to the motherboard, I did it (again) and the printer display (again) : "connection error", so as i think motherboard and cables seem beings in order I must say that the German technicians are very accurate and professional compared to the French!
I also filed a complaint with Epson France, first by the way that my printer as only 82 pages printed and with Epson premium photo paper only, the head
had to have a factory default
! and secondly by the fact that a manufacturer is required to supply spare parts of equipment that it sells, it seams that epson voluntarily refuse to sell parts!
So i'm ready to file a legal complaint with the help of a lawyer and an organization of Consumer Inquiries if necessary!
Regarding the procedure of ranking of the head, I am in touch with a photographer friend from spain he
had many problems with the quality of maintenance work epson, and finaly... changed the head of his Epson 9880 himself 8 months ago, without in the end entering the code ranking, he have to do several cleaning before printing of course, but the printer works fine since ... (may be my friend was lucky and bought a head ready for 9880, but there are many users who say that this is just a trick to Epson to provide work for their service maintenance!)
In fact this type of print head (ref: F191040, or x6 in asia) is mounted on several Epson models, the German dealer explained to me yesterday that "recording code heads parameters" in the computer of the printer helped it to synchronize properly...I know the operation principle of a piezo print head but somewhere it leaves me dreamy
He did not know if the given program with the 9900 allow by itself this kind of change, he said that some models have it directly in soft whith acces from the control panel and others do not, he also told me that I would find on the net a cd called epson resources,who can help me if the 9900 don't have the option, I seeks for this cd... in case!
So in summary, I do not have any problems for disassembly reassembly (I must say that my nikon d3 is much more difficult to disassemble!... ....oups !! no trouble for disassemble but to re-assemble
: see the picture of nikon dismounted below and you can cry whith me...)
But as my printer is bloqued into a fatal error I have no more access to internal programs and I do not know if it can execute any procedure of ranking...
Did you know if your 7900 authorizes by itself this procedure? if it does I think the 9900 will as well!
thank you again

Just for the record, the Euro is at $1.21, so 900 = $1,100. Beyond that, my head just got replaced, I watched every second of it, and t is always the same thing, if you have done it, and have the software, it is not like rebuilding an engine, but on another hand, I probably would not do it myself, to many things to worry about, the labor is still somewhat less than the part, I would go for the professional route. I would though hire just about any other authorized repair person, rather than D1 (for here in the U.S.), as these guys are certainly not worth $175./hour.
Bonne chance,

Bonjour Jean-Christian,
Proper maintenance on this kind of Epson machines here in Franceand specialy in my region is REALLY hard to find!
And sorry for my wrong calculation euro in dollars ... that's a while since I have bought in the usa ... and I do not watch currency movements closely.
Ok thx again Eric I will send you an email soon!
For the print head model :f 191010 or f 191040 f (new model) I received an offer from a dealerfrom poland who sells new heads for 721 euros
1 euro = $ 1.23 = $ 886.83
, no shipping costs for the head , I will call tomorrow (I have the night to learn Polish ...)
Otherwise it will be Germany, but must decide tomorrow
I also through the intermediary of a forum on the plotters in belgium get the advice of a technician who knows the Epson 9900, he did not think the print head can be defective after only 82 prints...(heu in fact i have just 100 prints
I found a way to display the number of pages printed in the maintenance menu! it would have been funnier if it had stuck after 666 impressions
I also find hard to believe ! that a piece as young as it can break whithout any warning before, but I really did every test possible, exept the reset of the mother board that you can not do on this machine to my knowledge.
So tomorrow i purchase the new head

The new print head is on the way, thank you to Erik for all the infos....
However, one thing worries me:
what has blown a head of only 100 impressions
....... I did not want to sit the new without really understanding what happened!
I found an idea on a Chinese site but the automatic translator does not work well with the Chinese, then the result is nearly incomprehensible ... he talks (the Chinese guy) about short circuits in cables and overvoltage in the head during the cycle cleaning.............................
the link is:
or here is the text about the 7900/9900 fatal error 1A39.
epson9910/7910/7710/9710 报错 1A39 Head error (打印头错误)
最近有客户epson 9910/ 7910 经常会出现 报错 1A39(打印头电压过高)
2.如果自己私自拆下来过打印头 用水或酒精 冲过打印头 可能打印头主板 短路了
3.打印头在大量清洗中途,突然断电 又可能烧坏打印头电路
测试:找个可以出墨水的旧打印头,装上看,如果可以进入正常模式 进行打印头清洗 和打印测试页,测试出原打印头烧坏 依然报错可能是缆线短路
解决: 更换打印头 及缆线
If anyone speaks Chinese it could help me!
Thanks !

My wife tells me I speak Chinese all the time. Maybe I should give it a shot..
tomsud the guy you want to talk to is HAL9000
He's actually a member on Luminous Landscape - his screen name is LFPTECH, and I think he might even be Chinese. Talk about a home-run. Look him up and send him a personal message. He chimed in on this thread back on page 36. Chances are he can tell you why your head failed. Please let us know what happens. Good luck with HAL

Hello Eric and hello to all,
I will send a PM to HAL9000 to tell him about my 9900 odyssey, I've seen his posts on this forum is a repairer and dealer parts it seems.
Yesterday I checked (again) the board assy hands 1, 2, 3 and tensions of the main board, everything looks ok!
In fact i was not personaly right in front of the tracer when the error comes, but a friend who was in the studio told me that it was arrived at the beginning of a cleaning cycle
I reflect on that....
because the mysterious text in chinese talk about something like that.
The new print head will arrive middle of next week I think.
I am also frightened by the amount of ink loose when i have to power on the machine for checks ! of course I've disabled all cleaning possible! except the start one that you can not stop ....
Meanwhile as photography is my job ! I need sometimes to print (thank you god !!! only for now in medium format!) I re-use my "little" Epson 1400 six color, which also cost me a fortune in ink! but at least it prints!
Today i'll will try to find an old client who is Asian and ask him if he can read Chinese (he is from asia....but where .....vietnam thailand corea ...china
see then the next episode!
Have a nice day! or night!

Yes ! the translation of the text in Chinese is done !
It is question of:
-Checking of the cables which feed the head
-Precaution to be taken during the cleaning of the head with some special liquid or...water...alcool.... (maybe i should try with some wine
red or white ?)
-And because connections are make with very long computer cables type it is difficult to verify them perfectly so it is recommended to change all of them and to try with an old operational head before put a brand new head...
- A short circuit in one of the 4 cables can cause(provoke) a fusion(merger) of the head....
Translation made by an old Chinese!!!
Of course i have no new cables here and the only old head that I have is the broken one
the new print head can be here thursday...'ill see how far i can go with my cable check, And if I have doubts I am going to order a set of new cables....

Thanks so much Eric for EVERYTHING you have done, experienced in order to share with all of us. I have read this entire thread and I feel comforted in what I have done, tried and taken apart
And thanks to everyone else that has shared info and problems in this thread as well.
I have a problem with my 9900 that seems similar to what you started out with. My 9900 which is of course out of warranty has what I am assuming clogs in my PK/MK.
I had started a thread here
but then found this one and started to read.
First let me start of by saying I am in the oldest part of a library on a university campus. I have had my 9900 for about 3.5 years, no problems, great prints. I love this machine (well until now). I print several times a week big and small, matte and photo. I do not print on any fabrics. Just photo paper and matte presentation paper. On rare occasion I do print on the poly-synthetic vinyl. I only use Epson inks and paper. Early on I tried some other branded paper and had so much problem with settings that I switched back.
Now luckily enough I have never had any problems with the air in my area until (even being built in the 1950s) until now. Starting this past may my air went from being 65 degrees F to being between 82-87 degrees F. Then it went back and forth forever until now, I am back at 65 and suppose to stay (so I have been promised). I am saying all of this to say I feel like this has begun the problems with my precious (yes im a LOTR fan).
So I started out with some cleaning cycles "naturally". Pairs, full clean, SS, nothing helped nozzle check stayed exactly the same. I put a wet sponge in over night, nothing. I have taken the machine apart basically and cleaned the wiper blade, which after seeing pictures of yours, mine actually looked okay but I am still planning on replacing it. I cleaned around the caps, etc...
I even managed to take the thing apart to get to the head ( I am not skeered, lol, I am a woman that lives to take junk apart!) My head looked okay to me but I have no idea what a clogged head looks like and I am guessing not many people do since you cannot really see it lol. I cannot wait till you take yours apart.
Now being that I work for a University the budget for me is not great LOL, im serious. So if I tell my boss I need to buy a head for $1200 he is going to flip but if it has to be done....
I am trying everything in my power to not have to do this of course. I obviously have no problem tearing in to this machine, I have not even screwed it all back together just waiting for something else to hit me to try. I have let it sit over night off after a cleaning, nozzle check no change. I have tried various prints to work through air and what-not, no change. I have noticed that if there is alot of black of course that is where you see the banding but if something is very colorful you do not see it.
I would appreciate any ideas, help, thoughts anyone has at all. I have tried several things I have read in this thread except for the overnight soaking of my head because I do not have cleaning solution (yet). I have some windex and warm water, that is it.
Thanks again everyone

Hello all
Here news of my adventures with my 9900, but first I would like to answer bhuddleston in the preceding post (I use a translator on line because in the morning I speak only Chinese, it is early here in France thus excuse for the errors) my opinion is that the problem is not (too much) serious, makes Poly-propylene-film has tendency to melt slightly with heat, therefore the microphone-cells on the head pièzo are stopped ( only at a given temperature) there was deposit of adhesive (cellulose) therefore to pass a sponge on the head will change nothing!!! it is stuck! and with dust inside moreover!
As regards my print head on my 9900 it arrived, I assemble it tomorrow, but ...... I did not find the source real of the breakdown! so......

So what do you suggest? Is there a way to get it unstuck or do you think I will need a new head? Do you think I should try Eric's soaking method?

Ok i'm gonna do a direct translation. i'm not gonna be responsible for the factual accuracy in the article.
Possibilities analysis:
1: there are 4 electrical connection points for the print head. if any one of them is not connected properly, it'll generate a 1A39 error message, so check all the connectors.
2: if you removed the print head yourself, and have used water or alcohol to clean the print head, you might have short circuited the main print head circuitboard.
3: there is a chance that during a SSCL or power clean cycle, there is a power outage, that may possibly destroy the print head's circuits.
Try to connect another (older) print head and see if it works. if it does work, enter into cleaning cycle and do a normal print. from there you can determine if you'd need to change a new print head or whichever connector / circuits.
hope that helps.

First Things First !!!
Especially Eric and all those who have contributed to this post
It was a great learning for maintaining 7900 with immensely valuable inputs.
Certainly gives us the confidence to maintain and use the machines.

So what do you suggest? Is there a way to get it unstuck or do you think I will need a new head? Do you think I should try Eric's soaking method?
Sorry I just got this, sometimes my thread updates end up in the toilet (spam folder).
First don't freak out I doubt soaking your head has hurt anything. Remember, my genius buddy and I put our head through a very intricate maze of water based/chemical based/Simple Green based cleaning procedures, some of which involved soaking for 24hrs, others which involved sucking fluid through the head in reverse, etc - none of which helped or harmed our head in any way at all. Both the clogs and the clear nozzles remained as they were. The trip to Canada completely crushed our head but whatever, we had already written it off before shipping it.
HAL suggested to me this special fluid which is rumored to be from Epson themselves. I have it, but have not yet tried it.
Our race season is in full swing and quite surprisingly we are achieving results which suggest I am not only faster than I really am, but also less than half of my age, which has been rather inspiring. My free-time focus is distracted as a result.
So irresponsible, I'll get back to work soon I promise

Oh also let me share that I call the epson people and the guy i spoke with gave me the number of the person to call to purchase a new head for my 9900. He also gave me the part number and said it was $1132.12. That was this past friday, August 17th. We called monday to order the part and they said that beginning August 2nd the head had gone up to $1299
What's insane is I found a brand new 9900 from a company online that was selling the machine for $1500!
Anyway my head and wiper assembly is on the way! I cant wait to get it installed and running. I will keep you all informed

LFPTECH (HAL) is your source for the cleaning fluids. You can email him directly or by doing a member search on this site. Either will get you the same address -
I'd get on it if I were you. Supposedly the longer your head stays clogged, the longer it's going to stay clogged..

Okay, I have a question. I know that in this thread you have discussed some things to do as PM or general up-keep.
Is there a list somewhere of all the things that you should be doing for or to your printer on a regular basis to keep it running well?
does that make sense lol?

It's been quite a while now I've been considering creating a "Sticky" for the first page of this thread - maybe considering your request we should create two! One giving a power-points summary of key points in this thread, the other giving key maintenance tips.
Does anyone know who to contact about creating "stickys" on this forum? I'd be happy to do the summary.
As for your regular maintenance question bhuddleston, for sure I will only scratch the surface here - many others here are far more knowledgable than I am. But I'll give it a go for you;
Wiper Blade:
check it, clean it, change it
Print regularly:
I have a test print of estimated swatches of each ink color that I run through our 7900 every 2-3 days, which helps keep it from clogging but it is NOT perfect. Like someone suggested when I initially posted the test print image here on Luminous Landscape, this image would be more effective if it were made from rip program which exclusively called for each channel to fire. My test image does not do this
inevitably, no matter how well you take care of your printer, you will have clogs to clear. I printed a perfect 24"X80" print Saturday night, which made me feel great about flushing our printhead of any old ink. Wrong. I had a clog to clear Sunday morning. What I CAN offer you is advice on "how" to clear routine clogs in your X900 printhead. Print a nozzle pattern, turn the machine off then restart it in serviceman mode, scroll down the serviceman cleaning menu until you get to specific channel pairings, select the lightest cleaning (#1) of that pairing and run it, restart printer in regular mode, print a nozzle pattern. It has been my experience that this method wastes the least amount of ink during cleanings. Someone, I can't remember who, suggested this method deep inside this actual thread. It works.
Ink Storage:
I met this printer guru guy from San Francisco a while back. Supposedly printing is all he does. He's a genius in his own mind from what I can tell. Anyway I asked him about using Epson inks past their expiration date, which many people suggest is fine to do. I figured while I had him in front of me I'd ask him too. He said, and I quote, "Store them in the refrigerator. Not an issue."

Milwaukee man held Molotov cocktail scare at Capitol
Madison - A 20-year-old Milwaukee man who praised Osama bin Laden has been arrested and is expected to face at least five separate charges accusing him of attempting to carry Molotov cocktails into the Capitol.
Capitol police arrested Kvon R. Smith on Tuesday in the Statehouse rotunda and called in the bomb squad to deal with Smith's backpack after learning that the man had posted a threat on his Facebook page early that morning.
But the bottles of liquid carried into the capitol were nonexplosive and nonflammable, Madison Fire Department Division Chief Lance Langer told the Wisconsin State Journal on Wednesday. One bottle contained motor oil, another contained clear water and chalk, and the third contained rubbing alcohol, he said. »Read Full Article
Walker touts tax cut, jobs in 'state of state' speech
Madison - Surveying two years of bitter battles won and a re-election bid now just 21 months away, Gov. Scott Walker laid out a less divisive agenda Tuesday of economic prosperity, a tax cut and regulatory reform in a third "state of the state" speech that had pageantry but few new policy details.
In the central moment of the 33-minute speech, Walker was joined on the rostrum by out-of-work union members who held up a Wisconsin flag as the Republican governor pointed out the symbols of the state's mining past on its fabric. It was an unlikely tableau for a governor who two years ago faced massive protests at the Capitol over his law to repeal most collective bargaining for most public employees.
The mining legislation is expected to be unveiled Wednesday morning at the Capitol, reprising the battle over it that marked the previous session. »Read Full Article
Fitzgerald: Quick action unlikely on board pay referendum
An attempt to hold a referendum to slash the pay of Milwaukee County supervisors appears to be off the fast track.
"I'm not in any rush" to put the referendum on the ballot, Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) said Tuesday.
Sen. Alberta Darling (R-River Hills) and Rep. Joe Sanfelippo (R-West Allis) hope to pass the measure through the Legislature in time to put it on the April 2 ballot. If then approved by voters in Milwaukee County, board pay would be cut from about $50,000 to $15,000 a year. »Read Full Article
Feud escalates over control of Wausau Paper
The bitter public feud that erupted this week over control of Wausau Paper Corp. comes with high stakes in the form of 1,000 jobs in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Starboard Value LLC, a Manhattan hedge fund, is pressuring Wausau to restructure or put itself up for sale and shutter its Wisconsin headquarters. On Monday Starboard announced it will nominate enough new outside members to the Wausau board of directors that, if successful, would result in the hedge fund and its allies controlling the 114-year-old Wisconsin papermaker.
The fight escalated late Tuesday when Wausau issued a statement that accuses Starboard of making "inaccurate" and distorted statements about the company. »Read Full Article
City of Oconomowoc to proceed with eminent domain of parcel for community center parking
City of Oconomowc - In a 4-3 vote Tuesday night, Common Council approved a resolution to proceed with establishing eminent domain of 219. W. Wisconsin Ave. Officials were presented with the option after Mayor Jim Daley said two years of negotiations with the property owner have been unsuccessful.
The owners of the property according to Waukesha County tax records are Ken Herro and John Haas. The resolution for condemnation of the property comes after the city failed to reach an agreement for binding arbitration regarding the parcel by 5 p.m. Tuesday, a deadline that had been extended from the same time the previous day.
The city is seeking the property directly across from the new community center for parking. The issue has been a hot-button topic in the city because the nearest public parking is about a football field away. »Read Full Article
Weiss baked and danced her way through life
Anna Weiss loved to bake - kuchen, cookies and her specialty, spar torte, a delicate confection of multiple, wafer-thin layers spread with a ground walnut filling. She loved to bring cakes and tortes and coffee to people, whether it was at German Fest, where she volunteered for 32 years, or for one of her German groups, but most especially to her family.
But she really cut loose when it came to the polka. She was known for her "very fast" polka, according to her daughter, Susan Eick. "I polkaed with her four years ago and I said, 'You've gotta slow down.' She would spin you and spin you and spin you. She was just a pro. She just had it down."
Anna Weiss, master of pastry and polka, died Friday of lung cancer at her Brookfield home, surrounded by family. She was 81. »Read Full Article

McCarthy 'confident' Capers will remain Packers' defensive coordinator
Green Bay - Coach Mike McCarthy wouldn't make a final decision one way or another Tuesday at his season-ending press conference. But the Packers coach did stand by his defensive coordinator, saying he feels "very confident" that Capers will remain the team's defensive coordinator.
Firing him now -- as many fans are calling for -- is what McCarthy said "knee-jerk, reactive people do."
"You don't make crazy decisions like that, especially a man of Dom Capers ability, his experience. I trust him," McCarthy said. "The level of responsibility he has with our coaching staff, and I think it's ridiculous that I have to answer the question, frankly. I'm appalled by it. There's a process that goes. I would not do my job, I would not fulfill my responsibility if I didn't look at the job Dom Capers has done, the job Mike McCarthy's done, what Tom Clements has done, all the way down, and I can promise you that's what's going to happen. »Read Full Blog Post
Man claiming to have Molotov cocktail arrested at Capitol
Madison - Police partially evacuated one wing of the Capitol and arrested a 20-year-old Milwaukee man Tuesday after he made an Internet threat to bring a Molotov cocktail to the Capitol and then showed up there with bottles in his backpack.
Capitol Police apprehended Kvon R. Smith in the Capitol rotunda, where he told police he had a Molotov cocktail in his backpack. Smith was charged last month in Dane County with resisting arrest.
The backpack was taken outside to Wisconsin Ave., and the City of Madison Fire Department and the Dane County bomb squad were called in. »Read Full Article
Aaron Rodgers nursing knee injury; Jerel Worthy has knee surgery

McCarthy confirmed what QB Aaron Rodgers had said earlier in the day on his weekly radio show that he had flunked his physical because of lower leg injuries and would not be playing in the Pro Bowl. McCarthy wasn't specific about Rodgers' injuries.
When a team official cut off the news conference at the 20-minute mark, WHBY sports director Bill Scott managed to get in one last question, asking McCarthy why Rodgers flunked his physical. »Read Full Blog Post
Milwaukee may scrap plan to offer businesses a water discount
A pilot program offered by the City of Milwaukee to lure water-intensive businesses to the city may be scrapped after no businesses signed up for the discount.
The Milwaukee Common Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to ask state utility regulators to discontinue the WAVE rate that city leaders announced several years ago in a bid to lure businesses from drought-stricken regions like Georgia.
Companies considering relocation may care about the cost of doing business and incentives, but water rates aren't something they're focusing on, said Carrie Lewis, superintendent of the Milwaukee Water Works. »Read Full Article
Barrett appoints Ann Wilson to Fire and Police Commission
Mayor Tom Barrett on Tuesday appointed Ann Wilson, manager of the Housing Authority's Hillside Family Resource Center, to a vacant position on the Fire and Police Commission.
Barrett said Wilson, who also serves on the board of directors of the Milwaukee Area Technical College, had asked to serve on the politically charged commission. He called Wilson a "really good choice" for the position, adding that he had known her for decades.
Wilson's appointment is subject to a hearing before the Common Council's Public Safety Committee as well as approval by the full 15-member council. Her selection came the same day as a consortium of community groups sent a letter to Common Council President Willie Hines and Ald. Terry Witkowski, chairman of the Public Safety Committee. In that letter, the groups said they wanted Hines and Witkowski to hold at least two public hearings in which public testimony would be taken on Fire and Police Commission appointees. »Read Full Article

Legislators will hold hearing on UW human resources system
A legislative committee will hold a hearing Tuesday as part of a probe of the University of Wisconsin System's human resources practices after learning of the universities' overpayments of nearly $33 million for health insurance premiums and retirement benefits.
An audit released last week by the state's nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau revealed the overpayments, prompting the leaders of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee to call for a more comprehensive review of the UW's new human resources system.
A UW System spokesman said last week that the UW System staff discovered the problems and officials already had crafted procedures to prevent future overpayments. »Read Full Article

Mequon shuffles TIF dollars to spur development
Mequon - City officials plan to divert money toward incentives to entice developers and breathe life into the city's underperforming Town Center tax incremental financing district.
The Planning Commission on Monday adopted amendments to the TIF district plan and boundaries, adding two parcels near the corner of Mequon and Wauwatosa roads to the district, and repurposing $1.8 million of the city's investment in the district for developer incentives. The Common Council will need to review and approve the amended district plan and boundaries at an upcoming meeting.
Community Development Director Kim Tollefson said after the meeting that although the Common Council "didn't buy into the concept of developer incentives" when the district was created in 2008, upfront grants to developers, and "pay-as-you-go" grants which divert some money back to developers as they create additional tax revenue, have been successful in other city TIF districts. With an estimated $12 million proposed development by Wired Properties in the works - which will likely be supported by a portion of the $1.8 million - Tollefson estimated the district has generated an estimated $15 million in added value since 2008. »Read Full Article
Senate adopts new GOP-backed rules over operations, protests

Oconomowoc extends deadline for arbitration agreement
City of Oconomowoc Administrator Diane Gard reported Tuesday morning that the city has extended a deadline for an arbitration agreement with the owners of a parcel of land at 219. W. Wisconsin Ave. to 5 p.m. today in hopes of reaching an agreement.
The city has been working to negotiate the purchase of the parcel to develop for parking for the new community center. The original deadline was 5 p.m. Monday, but Gard reported officials extended the deadline to 5 p.m. today. The extension deadline is before the Community Development Authority goes into closed session to discuss arbitration, or if an agreement is not reached, eminent domain of the parcel.

Selig goes to bat for bill to slash County Board
Julia Taylor, executive director of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, said last week that it was "premature" to start discussing a fundraising effort to promote a measure to cut the pay for Milwaukee County supervisors.
"We believe there would be a strong groundswell of support for making the board part-time, as evidenced by the 2012 referendum," Taylor told No Quarter. "It's premature, however, to discuss plans for a campaign to support a referendum question that hasn't even been presented to the Legislature, let alone approved."

Firefighters rescue Montello woman, three children from fire
Montello - A mother and her three young children are recovering after firefighters rescued them from their burning home in the Town of Montello.
Montello Fire Chief Glen Bubolz said the house was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived Monday. As he walked around the house and called out to occupants, a woman put her hand out a second-story window. Bubolz said she was on the phone with sheriff's dispatchers and brought the children to one room when it became clear they couldn't get out of the house on their own.
A firefighter went into the burning house filled with smoke and handed the children, all younger than 5, to another firefighter waiting on a ladder. Then the mother was brought down the ladder. The State Journal says all were taken to a Portage hospital. One child was transferred to a Madison hospital.
Madison woman finds cold cash in snow
Madison - A Madison woman made a surprising discovery while walking on the city's east side - cold, hard cash scattered in the snow.
Police say the woman found a large denomination bill, then another and another on Monday. The woman called police after finding the bills in the snow near the sidewalk. Authorities say the bills are legitimate currency, but they wouldn't release the amount of cash found in case someone comes forward to claim it.
Officers found no clues as to where the cash came from.
Lt. Cory Nelson tells the State Journal that if no valid claims for the cash are made, he thought it would be given to the woman who found it.
Two Wisconsin writers included in benefit ebook for Hurricane Sandy victims
Mount Horeb writer Alex Bledsoe and Racine novelist Bradley P. Beaulieu are two of the 41 contributors to "Triumph Over Tragedy: An Anthology for the Victims of Hurricane Sandy," an ebook anthology of fantasy, sci-fi and genre fiction edited by R.T. Kaelin. All proceeds go to the American Red Cross.
The ebook features some big names among the writers who donated use of their stories, with contributions from Robert Silverberg, the late Marion Zimmer Bradley, Elizabeth Bear and Timothy Zahn.
It's available in Kindle and Nook formats.
Coincidentally, Bledsoe, the author of the Eddie LaCrosse fantasy noir series and the novel "The Hum and the Shiver" about the mysterious Tufa people, will visit Milwaukee's Boswell Books at 7 p.m. Jan. 29 for a reading with Madison novelist Melissa Olson.

Authorities investigating crash on westbound I-94
Milwaukee County sheriff's deputies are on the scene of a rollover crash on I-94 at N. 124th St. that temporarily shut down all but one lane of westbound traffic.
The driver of the Jeep that rolled over was not injured; the driver of a second vehicle was complaining of neck injuries and was taken to a local hospital, said Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Fran McLaughlin.
The crash occurred around 7:40 a.m. when the driver of the car crossed the center lane and struck the Jeep causing it to roll over. The driver told deputies that the road was slippery. But no ice was found near the scene, and the driver was cited for failure to control his vehicle.
All lanes were reopened to traffic around 8:30 a.m., the Department of Transportation said.
Community groups demand input on Fire and Police vacancies
In a letter to Common Council President Willie Hines and Ald. Terry Witkowski, chairman of the council's Public Safety Committee, the American Civil Liberties Union and 17 other community groups say they want public input on Mayor Tom Barrett's plans to appoint up to two candidates to fill vacancies on the Fire and Police Commission.
The letter asks Hines and Witkowski to hold at least two public hearings. The hearings would take testimony from Milwaukee residents about the commission, among other things.
"It has been nearly a year since it was revealed that unauthorized strip searches and illegal body cavity searches had been carried out by police officers assigned to District 5," the letter states. "Since then there has been great concern about other instances of excessive use of force and discriminatory harassment. It is necessary to assure the public that the board will be capable of moving forward and, given our recent history, will listen to the public. This cannot be achieved without an open and transparent confirmation process." »Read Full Blog Post
Health care provider drops West Allis headquarters plan
A proposal to develop a new West Allis headquarters for a nonprofit health care provider has been dropped.
Development firm Tarantino Co. in February 2012 proposed four new buildings totaling 200,000 square feet, for 7.5 acres between W. Greenfield and W. National avenues, about a block west of S. 65th St. The vacant lot was once the site of the Pressed Steel Tank factory.
The new buildings would have provided offices for Community Care Inc., as well as a nursing home, community-based residential care center and an assisted-living center. »Read Full Blog Post
Top problems transferring Frontier EarlyReturns miles to Delta SkyMiles
So many people have contacted me about their problems converting Frontier EarlyReturns miles to Delta SkyMiles since our story ran Monday that I feel the need to share some of the most common problems.
I wish I had a flow chart to illustrate this. It'd be one of those "it'd be funny if it wasn't true" charts showing that regardless where these customers started, their journeys always end up in the same place: A response that boils down to, "Sorry, it's past the deadline. We can file a complaint on your behalf, but it won't change anything. But you can still use your points to buy stuff you don't need."
Perhaps you recognize some of these explanations for why the conversion didn't go through? »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: Hello Cello
This is a city that appreciates its cello; after all, how many rock bands can you find in other towns where the cello is a central part of the sound, as is the case with star Milwaukee act I'm Not a Pilot?
But one can never show too much appreciation for this fine instrument. Recognizing this fact, the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music is presenting "Art of the Cello" at 7 p.m. tonight. And it's not just your average everyday cello player who'll be showcasing the instrument, but Tamas Varga, a cello player for one of the world's most esteemed orchestras, the Vienna Philharmonic. Varga will be playing solo compositions for cello from composers Ligeti, Ibert and Gal, and the evening's concert will also pay tribute to the piano, courtesy of guest pianist Stephen Beus.
Forecast: Temperatures to rise near normal
Daytime temperatures should return to normal over the next two days, and no significant snow accumulations should occur, according to WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) meteorologist Scott Steele.
The high temperature Tuesday should reach near 30 in the Milwaukee area, and the daytime high on Wednesday should reach 34, Steele said.
Scattered flurries could occur Tuesday night and Wednesday, but accumulations will be insignificant, Steele says. »Read Full Article

Adrian Sutil is looking forward to a "very good year" in 2014 while Paul di Resta admits he is facing an uncertain future...
Adrian Sutil is looking forward to a "very good year" in 2014 while Paul di Resta admits he is facing an uncertain future.
Force India are yet to confirm their drivers for the new campaign, but Sutil - who returned to the team this year after spending the 2012 campaign on the sidelines - has admitted they have held talks and he is feeling positive over keeping his race seat
"Yes, of course," the German told Reuters about negotiations with the Silverstone squad. "I know them very well after so many years. It's open talk.
"Half the field is uncertain. No one knows where it goes, it can change very quickly. Even a contract doesn't mean a lot nowadays."
He added: "I'm looking to a good future next year and it should be, hopefully, a very good year.
"It has to be a good one because we stopped very early (this year) with the development. So the car has to be doubly good next year."
Di Resta, though, isn't feeling quite so upbeat about his chances and his manager Richard Goddard recently admitted "it's difficult to know what will happen next year".
Di Resta echoed those comments but that goes for quite a few drivers on the grid.
"Not only me," he said.
"It's tough because of circumstances that don't help drivers that don't have big funding. The team know knows what I can do. They gave me the tool to achieve what I can."

88221 :
Corticosterone, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Corticosterone is a steroid hormone and a precursor molecule for aldosterone. It is produced from deoxycorticosterone, further converted to 18-hydroxy corticosterone and, finally, to aldosterone in the mineralocorticoid pathway.
The adrenal glands, ovaries, testes, and placenta produce steroid hormones, which can be subdivided into 3 major groups: mineral corticoids, glucocorticoids, and sex steroids. Synthesis proceeds from cholesterol along 3 parallel pathways, corresponding to these 3 major groups of steroids, through successive side-chain cleavage and hydroxylation reactions. At various levels of each pathway, intermediate products can move into the respective adjacent pathways via additional, enzymatically catalyzed reactions (see Steroid Pathways in Special Instructions).
Corticosterone is the first intermediate in the corticoid pathway with significant mineral corticoid activity. Its synthesis from 11-deoxycorticosterone is catalyzed by 11 beta-hydroxylase 2 (CYP11B2) or by 11 beta-hydroxylase 1 (CYP11B1). Corticosterone is in turn converted to 18-hydroxycorticosterone and finally to aldosterone, the most active mineral corticoid. Both of these reactions are catalyzed by CYP11B2, which, unlike its sister enzyme CYP11B1, also possesses 18-hydroxylase and 18-methyloxidase (also known as aldosterone synthase) activity.
The major diagnostic utility of measurements of steroid synthesis intermediates lies in the diagnosis of disorders of steroid synthesis, in particular congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). All types of CAH are associated with cortisol deficiency with the exception of CYP11B2 deficiency and isolated impairments of the 17-lyase activity of CYP17A1 (this enzyme also has 17 alpha-hydroxylase activity). In cases of severe illness or trauma, CAH predisposes patients to poor recovery or death. Patients with the most common form of CAH (21-hydroxylase deficiency, >90% of cases), with the third most common form of CAH (3-beta-steroid dehydrogenase deficiency, <3% of cases) and those with the extremely rare StAR (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein) or 20,22 desmolase deficiencies might also suffer mineral corticoid deficiency, as the enzyme blocks in these disorders are proximal to potent mineral corticoids. These patients might suffer salt-wasting crises in infancy. By contrast, patients with the second most common form of CAH, 11-hydroxylase deficiency (<5% of cases) are normotensive or hypertensive, as the block affects either CYP11B1 or CYP11B2, but rarely both, thus ensuring that at least corticosterone is still produced. In addition, patients with all forms of CAH might suffer the effects of substrate accumulation proximal to the enzyme block. In the 3 most common forms of CAH, the accumulating precursors spill over into the sex steroid pathway, resulting in virilization of females or, in milder cases, hirsutism, polycystic ovarian syndrome or infertility, as well as in possible premature adrenarche and pubarche in both genders.
Measurement of the various precursors of mature mineral corticoid and glucocorticoids, in concert with the determination of sex steroid concentrations, allows diagnosis of CAH and its precise type, and serves as an aid in monitoring steroid replacement therapy and other therapeutic interventions.
Measurement of corticosterone is used as an adjunct to 11-deoxycorticosterone and 11-deoxycortisol (also known as compound S) measurement in the diagnosis of:
-CYP11B1 deficiency (associated with cortisol deficiency)
-The less common CYP11B2 deficiency (no cortisol deficiency)
-The rare glucocorticoid responsive hyperaldosteronism (where expression of the gene CYP11B2 is driven by the CYP11B1 promoter, thus making it responsive to adrenocorticotrophic hormone [ACTH] rather than renin)
-Isolated loss of function of the 18-hydroxylase or 18-methyloxidase activity of CYP11B2
For other forms of CAH, the following tests might be relevant:
-21-Hydroxylase deficiency:
- OHPG / 17-Hydroxyprogesterone, Serum
- ANST / Androstenedione, Serum
- 21DOC / 21-Deoxycortisol, Serum
-3-Beta-steroid dehydrogenase deficiency:
- 17PRN / Pregnenolone and 17-Hydroxypregnenolone
-17-Hydroxylase deficiency or 17-lyase deficiency (CYP17A1 has both activities):
- 17PRN / Pregnenolone and 17-Hydroxypregnenolone
- PGSN / Progesterone, Serum
- OHPG / 17-Hydroxyprogesterone, Serum
- DHEA_ / Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), Serum
- ANST / Androstenedione, Serum
Cortisol should be measured in all cases of suspected CAH.
When evaluating for suspected 11-hydroxylase deficiency, this test should be used in conjunction with measurements of 11-deoxycortisol, 11-corticosteone, 18-hydroxycorticosterone, cortisol, renin, and aldosterone.
When evaluating congenital adrenal hyperplasia newborn screen-positive children, this test should be used in conjunction with 11-deoxycortisol and 11-deoxycorticosteorone measurements as an adjunct to 17-hydroxyprogesterone, aldosterone and cortisol measurements.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of suspected 11-hydroxylase deficiency, including the differential diagnosis of 11 beta-hydroxylase 1 (CYP11B1) versus 11 beta-hydroxylase 2 (CYP11B2) deficiency, and the diagnosis of glucocorticoid-responsive hyperaldosteronism
Evaluating congenital adrenal hyperplasia newborn screen-positive children, when elevations of 17-hydroxyprogesterone are only moderate, thereby suggesting possible 11-hydroxylase deficiency
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
In 11 beta-hydroxylase 1 (CYP11B1) deficiency, serum concentrations of cortisol will be low (usually <7 microgram/dL for a morning draw). 11-Deoxycortisol and 11-deoxycorticosterone are elevated, usually to at least 2 to 3 times (more typically 20 to 300 times) the upper limit of the normal reference range on a morning blood draw. Elevations in 11-deoxycortisol are usually relatively greater than those of 11-deoxycorticosterone because of the presence of intact 11 beta-hydroxylase 2 (CYP11B2). For this reason, serum concentrations of all potent mineral corticoids (corticosterone, 18-hydroxycorticosterone, and aldosterone) are typically increased above the normal reference range. Plasma renin activity is correspondingly low or completely suppressed. Caution needs to be exercised in interpreting the mineral corticoid results in infants younger than 7 days; mineral corticoid levels are often substantially elevated in healthy newborns in the first few hours of life and only decline to near-adult levels by week 1.
Mild cases of CYP11B1 deficiency might require adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)1-24 stimulation testing for definitive diagnosis. In affected individuals, the observed serum 11-deoxycortisol concentration 60 minutes after intravenous or intramuscular administration of 250 microgram of ACTH1-24 will usually exceed 20 ng/mL, or at least a 4-fold rise. Such increments are rarely, if ever, observed in unaffected individuals. The corresponding cortisol response will be blunted (<18 ng/mL peak).
In CYP11B2 deficiency, serum cortisol concentrations are usually normal, including a normal response to ACTH1-24. 11-Deoxycorticosterone will be elevated, often more profoundly than in CYP11B1 deficiency, while 11-deoxycortisol may or may not be significantly elevated. Serum corticosterone concentrations can be low, normal, or slightly elevated, while serum 18-hydroxycorticosterone and aldosterone concentrations will be low in the majority of cases. However, if the underlying genetic defect has selectively affected 18-hydroxylase activity, corticosterone concentrations will be substantially elevated. Conversely, if the deficit affects aldosterone synthase function primarily, 18-hydroxycorticosterone concentrations will be very high.
Expression of the CYP11B2 gene is normally regulated by renin and not ACTH. In glucocorticoid-responsive hyperaldosteronism, the ACTH-responsive promoter of CYP11B1 exerts aberrant control over CYP11B2 gene expression. Consequently, corticosterone, 18-hydroxycorticosterone, and aldosterone are significantly elevated in these patients and their levels follow a diurnal pattern, governed by the rhythm of ACTH secretion. In addition, the high levels of CYP11B2 lead to 18-hydroxylation of 11-deoxycortisol (an event that is ordinarily rare, as CYP11B1, which has much greater activity in 11-deoxycortisol conversion than CYP11B2, lacks 18-hydroxylation activity). Consequently, significant levels of 18-hydroxycortisol, which normally is only present in trace amounts, might be detected in these patients. Ultimate diagnostic confirmation comes from showing directly responsiveness of mineral corticoid production to ACTH1-24 injection. Normally, this has little, if any, effect on corticosterone, 18-hydroxycorticosterone, and aldosterone levels. This testing may then be further supplemented by showing that mineral corticoid levels fall after administration of dexamethasone.
Sex steroid levels are moderately to significantly elevated in CYP11B1 deficiency and much less, or minimally, pronounced, in CYP11B2 deficiency. Sex steroid levels in glucocorticoid-responsive hyperaldosteronism are usually normal.
Most untreated patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency have serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations well in excess of 1,000 ng/dL. For the few patients with levels in the range of >630 ng/dL (upper limit of reference range for newborns) to 2,000 or 3,000 ng/dL, it might be prudent to consider 11-hydroxylase deficiency as an alternative diagnosis. This is particularly true if serum androstenedione concentrations are also only mildly to modestly elevated, and if the phenotype is not salt wasting but either simple virilizing (female) or normal (female or male). 11-Hydroxylase deficiency, in particular if it affects CYP11B1, can be associated with modest elevations in serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations. In these cases, testing for CYP11B1 deficiency and CYB11B2 deficiency should be considered and interpreted as described above. Alternatively, measurement of 21-deoxycortisol might be useful in these cases. This minor pathway metabolite accumulates in CYP21A2 deficiency, as it requires 21-hydroxylation to be converted to cortisol, but is usually not elevated in CYP11B1 deficiency, since its synthesis requires 11-hydroxylation of 17-hydroxyprogesterone.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
At birth the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis are activated and all adrenal steroids, including mineral corticoids and sex steroids and their precursors are high. In preterm infants, the elevations can be even more pronounced due to illness and stress. In doubtful cases, when the initial test was performed on a just-born baby, repeat testing a few days or weeks later is advised.
Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)1-24 testing has a low, but definite risk of drug and allergic reactions and should, therefore, only be performed under the supervision of a physician in an environment that guarantees the patient's safety, typically an endocrine, or other centralized, testing center.
Interpretation of ACTH1-24 testing in the context of diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) requires considerable experience, in particular for the less common variants of CAH, such as 11-hydroxylase deficiency, or 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3beta-HSD) deficiency, for which very few, if any, reliable normative data exist. For the even rarer enzyme defects, such as deficiencies of StAR (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein), 20,22 desmolase, 17a-hydroxylase/17-lyase, and 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17beta-HSD), there are only case reports. Expert opinion from a pediatric endocrinologist with experience in CAH should, therefore, be sought.
