Patient Comments: Wegener's Granulomatosis - Treatment
What was the treatment for Wegener's granulomatosis in you, a friend, or relative?
Comment from: Alice, 35-44 Female (Caregiver) Published: October 21
My sister was not diagnosed early, because doctors did not find the cause of her symptoms. Consequently, her kidneys failed first, then her lungs and finally she died in a week. If doctors had known she suffered from Wegener's granulomatosis disease, she would be alive now.
Comment from: SS, 65-74 Female (Caregiver) Published: July 14
My family member was ill for over a month before she was diagnosed with Wegener's granulomatosis. They tried cyclophosphamide, (I think that's what it was) but she had a bad reaction, so they put her on rituximab. She has been doing well with preventative Rituxan treatments every 6 months. After all that I've read, I feel this may be the best treatment available for this illness. I hope this helps you. Best wishes to all of you.
Comment from: escape1965, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: June 30
For Wegener's granulomatosis prednisone, Cytoxan, and mycophenolate were the treatment for the disease process and then many other medicines to care for the collateral damage, i.e., all body systems were affected.
Comment from: JudyF, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: February 24
I was diagnosed with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) in 1999 and put on the standard cortisone/chemotherapy treatment which did very little. My doctors were getting very worried when a medical professor friend of ours found an article in a British medical journal about a monoclonal antibody treatment which was being trialed in Cambridge for recalcitrant cases of WG. We went to Cambridge and I received the treatment and have had no symptoms ever since. I am on no medication and don't have to see my specialists at all. I can't understand why this treatment isn't more widely used.
Comment from: worriedwife, 25-34 Female (Caregiver) Published: June 25
My husband was diagnosed with Wegener's granulomatosis almost 6 years ago. It started with headaches, legs cramps, and red spots all over his legs. He started to get crusting in his nose before he was hospitalized for 3 months dialysis for failed kidneys. The rheumatoid arthritis doctor put him on Cytoxan for 3 years. He went into remission. Well, lo and behold, his disease has reared its ugly head again. He is getting the vasculitis again. The doctor will not put him on Cytoxan anymore. We are attempting Rituxan to see if it will help again.
Comment from: cocopuff, 55-64 Male (Caregiver) Published: November 06
My husband was diagnosed with Wegener's granulomatosis in April 2015 while we were on vacation. He spent two weeks on a ventilator and another two getting him well enough to fly home. His kidney doctor was concerned about the side effects of his drugs and weaned him from them. He had two good weeks before he relapsed and had to be readmitted to hospital in mid-July. They put him into ICU on ventilator for a month. He died on August 15.
Comment from: Mucjud13, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: June 02
Update on my treatment for Wegener"s granulomatosis: the Imuran after several months spiked my liver enzymes to 88! My rheumatologist called and I was to stop immediately my 150 mg a day. About 5 weeks later, I was switched to Rituxan Infusions. All this happened recently between February 2014 and present May 2014.
Comment from: K M, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: April 11
I was diagnosed in 2005 with Wegener"s granulomatosis after multiple sinus infections, fevers and sickness. Doctors kept giving me antibiotics but I kept getting sicker. I was on Cytoxan and 100 mg prednisone for a year which caused necrosis of my hip. I had a hip replacement. Also, now I have severe peripheral neuropathy. I felt better but remission did not last and I ended up in hospital for Rituxan infusions. My mental capacity has been affected, as well as my stamina. The doctor wants to repeat Rituxan treatments again. I really don"t want to, but as I felt better and tried to do more daily, I am now having bloody discharge from sinuses again. It"s been a battle with ups and downs. I am grateful for the days I do feel pretty good.

FIRST ROUND: Seattle-Houston | Indiana-New York | Connecticut-Detroit | Schedule
Los Angeles (17-17), West No. 4
WHAT'S WORKING: The Monarchs have one of the best rebounders in the game in Yolanda Griffith (above), one of the greatest passers the game has ever seen in Ticha Penicheiro, one of the top candidates for coach of the year in John Whisenant, a likely Most Improved Player of the Year in Nicole Powell, one of the league's best mixes of experienced leadership and budding youth, and the WNBA's second-best record. So far, it has all added up to their first Western Conference regular-season title.
Sacramento's white-line defense -- it overloads one side of the floor, which puts plenty of traffic in front of the opponent -- has paved the way for much of the success. The Monarchs, who rotate very well as a team, hold foes to a league-low 61.6 points per game, rank fifth in rebounds (30.7) and No. 2 in steals (8.9). Opponents shoot 41.2 percent from the field, third lowest in the league, and a league-low 30 percent from 3-point range.
The Monarchs also are young -- the average age is 25.7 -- but more importantly, no one averages more than 29 minutes and 11 players average at least nine minutes. That way, Whisenant -- who completely tweaked his lineup in the offseason but has successfully blended his core players with new faces -- keeps everybody fresh, and allows young players such as Powell, Rebekkah Brunson and rookies Chelsea Newton and Kristin Haynie to develop and get quality minutes when the game is in the balance. As a result, they've also developed great depth and balance, with five players averaging at least 7.8 points.
WHAT'S WORKING: It's true that Los Angeles limped into the playoffs and almost missed the postseason for the first time since 1998. For so long this season, the Sparks just haven't had the confidence and swagger we've grown accustomed to seeing in L.A. More importantly, the players didn't look like they were having fun, and it showed in their games as their attitude and toughness waned.
However, after coach Henry Bibby and the Sparks parted ways on Aug. 17, L.A. regrouped and won four straight under interim coach Joe Bryant. Granted, three of the four were against teams with sub-.500 records, but the Sparks mustered a 55-50 win at home over Houston, as well as a victory over playoff-bound Detroit, and they seemed to breathe some life into L.A. Bryant has given them some good leadership, and some of the pride and passion are back, too.
Chamique Holdsclaw (above) has had a great first season in L.A., averaging a team-high 17 points to go with 6.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 48 percent accuracy from the field.
And though she struggled earlier in the season, Lisa Leslie is looking more and more like her old self late in the season. In the past five games, she scored more than 17 points on three occasions and notched two double-doubles. Leslie -- who's averaging 15.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 2.6 assists and almost two steals per game while shooting 44 percent from the field -- is assuming that leadership role again and her energy level and production are up.
WHAT NEEDS WORK: This is the best Sacramento team I've seen, and it's tough to nail down any weaknesses. The biggest thing that has hurt the Monarchs this season has been injuries, including a knee sprain that limited All-Star DeMya Walker to 22 games. But Brunson has stepped in and almost doubled her scoring output, averaging 10.7 ppg since Walker has been sidelined.
The good news for Sacramento is that both Walker and Kara Lawson -- who missed the last two games of the regular season with a shoulder injury -- are expected to play in the postseason. Lawson has really come on late this season. During a 13-game stretch prior to her injury, she averaged 12.4 points. In the 10 games before that, she scored only 4.5 points per game.
The Sparks rank fifth in the league in scoring, and their 68.4 points per game is easily their lowest output in franchise history (never before since the league opened in 1997 has L.A. averaged less than 71.6 points). Even more noticeable was the Sparks' drop in rebounding, down to 29.5 (another franchise low). L.A. has consistently been near the top of the league leaders in both categories, and averaged 73.4 points and 33 rebounds just a year ago.
The Sparks' struggles are indicative of the team's hesitance to buy into Henry Bibby's philosophy of coaching, particularly a 2-3 zone. It's especially hard to rebound out of a zone because you're boxing out an area instead of a person.
X-FACTOR: The Monarchs are the league's best 3-point shooting team, knocking down 36.4 percent of their 3-pointers (Powell has hit a team-high 66 treys). And Sacramento -- which has lost only once this year when leading at halftime -- has made at least one shot from downtown in 230 games, a streak that goes back to the beginning of the 1999 season.
Still, Griffith's play inside is the key. She has the savvy ability to contribute in several ways, and gives her team whatever it needs, whether it's a crucial steal, block or rebound. But when Griffith -- the league's all-time leader in offensive rebounds -- is scoring, it seems to energize the team, not to mention open up the outside for her teammates. It's hardly a coincidence that in six of Sacramento's nine losses this year, Griffith was held to 10 or fewer points. She's averaging almost 14 on the season.
Penicheiro, the league's all-time assists leader (almost 1,600 over eight seasons, or a 6.6 per game career average), sports an amazing 2.25 assists-to-turnover ratio, but the team could improve on its 14.6 giveaways per game.
X-FACTOR: Leslie and Holdsclaw must have monster series. They combined to average 32.2 points in the regular season, but if they don't at least equal that each night in the playoffs, the Sparks could get swept.
Leslie, however, has yet to shine against Sacramento this season, averaging just 9.5 points on 34 percent (14-for-41) shooting, and 4.3 rebounds against the Monarchs. That includes her 0-for-7 night on June 4 when Griffith and Walker held Leslie to a career-low three points. Leslie did reach double figures in the other three games, but never topped 14 points.
Leslie (groin), like several teammates, have been hampered by injuries all season. Mwadi Mabika (knee), one of the most athletic players in the league, has played just 17 games, and point guard Nikki Teasley (bone spur in left foot, plantar fasciitis in right heel) played 19 before being put on the injured list on July 29. That leaves Tamecka Dixon, also in and out of the lineup with a sore knee and ankle injuries, playing the point, though she's a natural 2-guard.
SEASON SERIES: The Monarchs went 3-1 against the Sparks this season, including two victories by blowouts of at least 20 points. Sacramento has won two straight against L.A., which lost by just nine points when they last met on Aug. 16. Though Bibby and the team hadn't officially parted ways yet (that happened the next day), that was the first game with Bryant at the helm. Sacramento averaged 76 points; L.A. averaged 64.
The Monarchs shot 45.4 percent from the field and 38 percent (21-for-55) from 3-point range in the series. The Sparks were 41 percent from the field, but twice shot below 35 percent, and they hit just 13 of 38 (34 percent) of their attempts from downtown.
And even though L.A. won the second game in the series, it's worth noting that the Monarchs outscored L.A. 53-34 in the second half while shooting 56 percent from the field after the break.
Griffith reached double figures in all four games, averaging 15.3 points. Powell reached double figures three times to average 12.8 points against L.A. Walker, who missed their July 29 meeting, hit double digits in all three other games, averaging 14.7 points in the series.
In their three wins, the Monarchs combined for a plus-25 rebounding edge. L.A. tied Sacramento with 29 rebounds in the Sparks' lone win.
BOTTOM LINE: In the past, it has been hard to match up with L.A.'s athleticism. But Sacramento has everything it takes to win a championship this year and is a much better defensive team than the Sparks.
These two programs always seem to clash in the postseason, and until last summer, Los Angeles always came away with the win. But the fourth-seeded Monarchs upset the Sparks, who were the West's No. 1 seed a year ago, in the first round last season. This time it's 1 vs. 4 again, but don't expect an upset. The Monarchs, who are 5-2 against L.A. in their last seven meetings (counting last year's playoffs) are the heavy favorite.
And keep in mind, too, that Sacramento was able to beat L.A. this year once without Walker (July 29) and once without Lawson (June 4).

Hi everyone!
(Please excuse my english)
I decided to participate because I believe this is a great opportunity to better my skills.
My drawing level is not good enough to compete with the amazing artists here, so this is really just a learning experience.
But I'd like to thank you in advance for commenting anyway, because it is the best way for me to learn.
Enough blah blah, the concept:
A child is sitting in a corner of a dark room.
She has a broken arm, a black eye and various scratches/plasters all over her.
It's obvious she was beaten (or I hope it's obvious)
She is imagining a magical world to escape reality (birth of a new world).
So we see a beautiful faerie comming from behind the girl and posing a crown on her head (every little girl wants to be a princess) and various smaller magical beings surrending the child.
There is a huge contrast in color between the real world and the child's imagination.
Now let's just hope I can actually bring this concept to life...
Here is the first very rough sketch of the little girl:

"Our wedding theme is rustic so with this particular save the date it fit perfectly. My fiancé and I have been together for 10 years so it was a great story line for those whom we met in the last few years or so to share pieces of our history. Very fast shipping. I ordered on a Tuesday night and they arrived first thing Saturday morning. The printing was perfect."
"These cards are absolutely gorgeous. The print is just delicate enough and the card stock was sturdy. I have gotten tons of compliments on them and am seriously considering purchasing the matching suite."
"Awesome card. Fast shipping. Amazing customer service. My guests loved the card and that's exactly what I wanted with our cards...to impress. We added a glitter circle around the number to make it pop. Everything was perfect. Thanks!"
"I love the them!!!! They shipped faster then the original date! The card was a nice thick quality paper. The printing was Awesome every card the print was nice and clear and clean. So hard to find a printing company like this!! Love love love"
"I am so very happy with how our save the date turned out. High quality paper and printing. We have gotten a lot of positive feedback and compliments from our family/friends. I highly recommend this card!!!!"

CPK testing touch screen menus, pay-at-the-table system
Editor's note: Register reporter Lori Basheda is a guest blogger today. She gives us a big scoop on some fancy technology being tested by CPK.
I just went to California Pizza Kitchen on Pacific Coast Highway just over the Seal Beach border in� Long Beach and there on my table was a small cordless computer type� thingy, otherwise known as a Ziosk. It's small enough to pick up and pass around.
The touch screen menu lets you� click through pictures of appetizers, desserts and drinks.� When you're not clicking, it changes images for you, exhorting you to try this cake or that eggroll.
Right now� there is no button that lets you actually place an order over the Ziosk.� I called CPK headquarters and reps told me that this particular restaurant was doing a test pilot and they don't want to talk details right now.
So far the device� handles� payments. At the end of the meal, you touch the pay button and it takes you to a screen that displays your itemized check.
A smaller screen pops up asking if you want to apply a 20 percent tip and shows you how much that� tip is. If you want to give a, say 15 percent tip, you slide a bar left and it shows you how much that tip is. When you decide on a tip you� click� on it and it� is automatically added to your bill.
Another pop up lets you split the check up, based on what you ordered -- no more� "just split it in half." Once you are ready, you swipe your card in the Ziosk, like you do at the grocery store. It then spits out your receipt. Very cool.
My only fear is that if we start placing our orders� on the Ziosk,� it's kaput for� waiters and waitresses. Sure, someone will have to actually still carry the food to the table (until we invent robots to do that).� But a lot of jobs would be lost.
A spokesman at Table Top Media assured me this was not going to happen. The� Ziosk has the capability of taking orders, but the reality is that there are far too many modifiers when it comes to a table full of people ordering meals.
"Human beings are just a lot better at meeting other human beings needs," said John Regal.
They� launched the product� a year and a half ago. A chain in Dallas called Cozymels already uses the Ziosk and you can watch a video of it here.� So does Chili's in Chicago. The Chili's Ziosks� let diners order dessert. And Regal said they are about to add a button that lets you order a second round of drinks.
Regal says Table Top has met with "top restaurant chains" about the new technology and "everyone is extremely excited." He said he couldn't talk specifically about what CPK is up to.

Hi everyone
I'm having a little trouble with my ajax calls here.
The site I'm working on never used to be on wordpress but since I ported it over I have come across a problem regarding the way my contact form works. First of all, there is a script called contact.js which has a function validating the fields in the form, and if successful it should make an ajax call to a file called ajax.php.
Below is how it was implemented before:
type: "POST",
url: "ajax.php",
data: { trigger: "contactrequest",message: message,name: name,email: email,subject: subject,type: type },
success: function(msg){
alert( msg );
This is using the jQuery method. Unfortunately the file cannot be found by wordpress as there is no absolute path. I don't want to hard-code it as I will be porting the site to a different server when done so there must be a way of somehow making sure it points in the right direction? The ajax.php file is in my theme root folder, and the contact.js which calls it is in a subfolder called "js".
Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated as this is an important part of the site and needs to be implemented in this way.
Thank you!

I started in linux world through a Brazilian linux distro called Linux Kurumin was a distro based on Knnopix and facing novice users. Kurumin is sadly discontinued, so when I got to college I met the Debian and CentOS distros, I have not used Linux as my main system but out of curiosity I thought ubuntu, and since then I only use linux and ubuntu as my main distro and Slackware as secondary. I'm not an expert in the terminal but I'm doing fine with Slack. And I also learned a very important thing, do not judge the preferences of other users, everyone chooses the distro you prefer. For me Ubuntu is one of the best because it has the largest community in my opinion!

Snowfall closes I-40 eastbound near Haywood-Buncombe line
Published: Friday, November 21, 2008 at 9:41 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 21, 2008 at 9:43 a.m.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- A surprise snowfall in western North Carolina forced state troopers to close a portion of Interstate 40 on Friday morning until highway crews could spread salt on the roadway.
Authorities said eastbound lanes of the interstate were closed near the Haywood-Buncombe county line while crews worked on the road between mile markers 33 and 37. The stretch of interstate winds through mountains.
Traffic was detoured until the road conditions improved.
The snow wasn't included in earlier weather forecasts for Buncombe County, but forecasters said accumulations up to 3 inches were expected at higher elevations along the North Carolina-Tennessee border.
Authorities said police responded to dozens of wrecks.
A truck jackknifed and rescue crews took the driver to a hospital. Police said the truck spilled some diesel fuel, but not enough to be considered dangerous.
The city of Asheville delayed bus service until the weather cleared. Schools in Asheville and other mountain counties closed for the day.
Elsewhere in North Carolina, a light snowfall forced two-hour delays in school opening in at least the two counties that include Greensboro and Winston-Salem.
The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for eight counties in western North Carolina.
A wind advisory also was issued for several mountain counties and forecasters said wind chills could hit between zero and five below zero during the morning.

CLOVIS - Less than a month after a Clovis man told police he had been kidnapped at knifepoint, that same man is now behind bars charged with breaking into the local Mental Health Resources office, Deputy Chief of Police Bill Carey said.
Roger Gregory Bannister, 44, was being held Friday on a $25,362 bond at the Curry County Adult Detention Center, officials said.
Police officers responded to an alarm Wednesday night at the Mental Health Resources office in the 900 block of Rencher Street in Clovis and saw Bannister inside the building looking out an open window, according to police reports.
Officer John Corley ordered Bannister to put his hands up and come out the window, but instead, Bannister ducked down behind the window sill.
After another police officer with a police K-9 dog arrived at the scene, Bannister finally surrendered to police, Carey said.
When officers searched Bannister, they found a knife and chemical mace, and they found another knife in the room where he had been hiding.
Bannister was arrested on a felony charge of aggravated burglary and an outstanding magistrate court warrant for failure to appear in court as ordered on a previous charge, Carey said.
Meanwhile, authorities have dismissed Bannister's accusations that two men kidnapped him from his home July 7 and threatened him with a knife, Clovis Detective Andy Craig said.
Clovis police had arrested Randy Russell, 30, on July 10 on four felony charges in connection with Bannister's allegations that he was kidnapped.
But the district attorney's office dismissed the charges against Russell for lack of evidence, Craig said.

I have 3 drives, a 32 GB SSD running Windows 7, a 500 GB HDD with an NTFS Filesystem in use by Windows, and a blank 60 GB SSD. What I want to do is clone my Windows install (using Clonezilla) and move it to my new 60 GB SSD so that it will have a bit more room to breath, and the install Linux (most likely Mint, but that's probably irrelevant) on the 32 GB.
My question is 3 fold:
- I want to make sure the new Hard drive will not screw up my Windows Drive letters. I have several programs installed into the HDD, and windows will rely on this continuing to be the D: drive and the 60GB SSD becoming the C: drive after the clone
- I want to make Windows the default boot drive, but I want to use Grub (or, more specifically, burg) as the bootloader.
- I would like, if possible, to mount my home folder for Linux as a subdirectory of the D: drive.
I would like to know if these things are possible, and if so, how to do them.

On March 9, audio legend Paul W Klipsch (PWK) is born in Elkhart, Indiana. He is the only child of Oscar Colman Klipsch and Minna Pearl Eddy.
In graduate school at Stanford University, one of Paul W. Klipsch's classmates mentions to him that speakers sound better in a corner.
It was then during his military service at the Southwest Proving Grounds located in Hope, Ark. that Paul W. Klipsch refined his corner horn speaker design. Visitors to his officer's quarters were amazed by the lifelike reproduction and encouraged PWK to start his own manufacturing business.
Paul W. Klipsch designs the La Scala speaker for the performing arts sector. Arkansas gubernatorial candidate Winthrop Rockefeller later uses it as a public address speaker.
At age 85, Paul W. Klipsch sells Klipsch & Associates to second cousin and Indianapolis businessman Fred S. Klipsch and his wife Judy. While manufacturing remains in Hope, Arkansas, business operations move to Indianapolis, Indiana.
The company is re-named Klipsch, Inc.
Klipsch introduces the Rebel "8", the company's first compact "satellite" speaker offering.
Klipsch breaks ground on the Engineering and Technology Center, one of the Midwest's most advanced audio research facilities, boasting two anechoic chambers, digital electronics workstations, an engineering model shop and an industrial design lab.
At the 2004 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Paul W. Klipsch is inducted into the Consumer Electronics Hall of Fame, which was established in 2000 by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) to honor the leaders whose creativity, persistence and determination helped shape the consumer electronics industry.
Klipsch enters the iPod accessories space with the iFi, the first iPod-dockable home stereo system on the market.
Klipsch acquires Danish brand Jamo to accelerate global growth. One year later, the company acquires Audio Products International (API), makers of the Mirage®, Energy® and Athena® speaker brands.
In May, Klipsch introduces the Image S4 headphones. At the time, it is one of the most successful product launches in company history.
The S4i was deemed the first third-party headset to offer full control of the iPhone 3GS, iPod touch and iPod music and video content.
Klipsch introduces its affordable HD Theater Series, proving a high-def picture demands high-def sound. In August, Klipsch takes its headphone business a step further, introducing the Image S4i and S2m headsets.

"Since her arrest and five-day jail stay during the Seattle anti-WTO protests in November 1999, Starhawk has poured her energy into the global justice movement, participating in direct actions, leading nonviolence training workshops, and writing, always writing. Webs of Power is the outcome: an account from the front lines of that movement as it migrated from Seattle to Prague, then Brazil, Quebec City, and Genoa. As well as reporting the actions on the street, it includes a privileged glimpse behind the scenes, too, at the fierce discussion of the issues, strategies, and tactics of an always-evolving social movement. The book is also a personal vision of what an alternative future might look and feel like beyond the version offered up to us by the promoters of corporate globalization. Webs of Power is a unique contribution to our understanding of one of the most pivotal struggles of our time."--Jacket.

BAGHDAD, Dec. 22 (IPS) - Despite promises from Iraqi and U.S. leaders that 2006 would bring improvement, Iraqis have suffered through the worst year in living memory, facing violence, fragmentation and a disintegrated economy.
A year back Iraqis were promised that 2006 would be the fresh beginning of a, prosperous, democratic and unified Iraq. Through an elected parliament and a unity government, they would find peace, and start rebuilding a country torn apart by the U.S.-backed UN sanctions and then the U.S.-led invasion and occupation.
But everyone agrees that the situation now is worse than ever. Leaders in Iraq disagree only to the extent they blame one another for the collapse in security that has led to worsened services and living conditions.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, along with many other Shia leaders in the Iraqi government, blames al-Qaeda and "Saddamists" for the degrading situation. Echoing statements by U.S. President George W. Bush, al-Maliki told reporters recently:
"Those terrorists hate democracy because that makes them lose power, and all they are doing is killing Iraqi people in order to recapture what they lost after the liberation of Iraq."
Whatever leaders say, people are simply looking back on a hellish year, and fearful of another to come.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
"I wish I could flee to any third world country and work in garbage collection rather than stay here and live like a frightened rat," Adel Mohammed Aziz, a teacher from Baghdad told IPS. "We are all living in fear for our lives; death chases us all around.."
The displacement of Iraqis from Iraq is currently the world's fastest-growing refugee crisis, according to the Washington-based group Refugees International which works towards providing humanitarian assistance and protection for displaced people.
The United Nations estimates that at least 2.3 million Iraqis have fled the growing violence in their country. They estimate that 1.8 million Iraqis have fled to surrounding countries, while another half million have vacated their homes for safer areas within Iraq. An estimated 40,000 people are leaving Iraq every month for Syria alone, according to the UN.
Cases of sectarian killings had been reported before this year, with targeted victims such as former military people or scientists. But this year sectarian-based death squads became a threat to all Iraqis, particularly Sunni Muslims, whose beliefs differ in ways from those of Shia Muslims. The body count has increased to a minimum of 100 a day, with most killed after monstrous torture.
"We cannot go to work, cannot go to pray in our mosques, and cannot send our children to schools," young mother Um Rheem from the Shaab quarter in Baghdad told IPS. "Many Sunni men have been killed by Shia death squads who have the full support of the government and Americans."
Such fears are common in many areas in Baghdad where the Sunnis are a minority. Other areas have other problems to live with. "In areas where Sunnis are a majority, death squads attack in hundreds, taking advantage of curfews and using government police cars," Mahmood Abdulla from the predominantly Sunni Jihad quarter of Baghdad told IPS. "When we defend ourselves and our homes, they shell us with mortars and Kaytousha missiles. All of this takes place under the eyes of Americans and Iraqi government officials."
Shia Iraqis complain that they cannot go to Sunni dominated areas for work, and they cannot travel on the highway that leads to Syria and Jordan for fear of Sunni militias looking for revenge.
"Sunnis who lost family members would kill any Shia they find, and so we cannot go through their areas," Sa'arat Hassan, a vegetable merchant at the Jameela wholesale vegetable market in Baghdad told IPS.
According to a survey conducted by U.S. and Iraqi doctors for the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, published in the British Lancet Medical Journal Oct. 11 this year, 654,965 Iraqis, or 2.5 percent of the entire population of the country, have died as a result of the U.S.-led invasion and occupation.
The survey found that "of post-invasion deaths, 601,027àwere due to violence, the most common cause being gunfire."
The two months following publication of the survey have been Iraq's bloodiest to date.
The streets of Baghdad, once packed with cars and open businesses, look deserted most of the day now.
"We cannot open our shops for more than three to four hours a day," a carpet seller on the volatile Rasheed Street told IPS. "Many of my colleagues have been abducted for ransom or killed for sectarian reasons on the way to work. We expect death every minute."
The economic disaster is now an emergency. More than five million Iraqis are living below the poverty line, close to half of them in desperate conditions, according to a government study.
Iraqi officials and NGOs estimate the unemployment rate at more than 60 percent.
The cost of basic necessities soared during 2006, compounding the unemployment crisis. A report by Iraq's central office for statistics cited by the NGO Coordination Committee for Iraq (NCCI) suggests 70 percent inflation from July 2005 to July 2006.
The World Food Programme said in a report 'Food Security and Vulnerability in Iraq' last May that if the situation in Iraq was not controlled, 8.3 million more people (31 percent of the population) would be rendered "food insecure" if they were not provided their monthly food rations. The rations were introduced under the Oil for Food Programme set up during the sanctions period in the 1990s.
Sectarian violence increased in Iraq after the bombing last February of an important Shia shrine located in Samarra, 60 km north of Baghdad. Shia death squads started appearing in massive numbers afterwards to carry out mass killings of Sunnis, and setting fire to their mosques. U.S. forces failed to provide protection for civilians on either side.
Meanwhile, armed Iraqi resistance to the U.S. occupation increased rapidly during 2006.
"Resistance fighters are Iraqis who are trying to put an end to this vicious occupation," a senior political analyst at Baghdad University told IPS on condition of anonymity. "The Americans ignited sectarian war so that they reduce the action of national resistance, but the result came to be the opposite, and they are being hit harder and more often."
The Sunni-dominated areas of Baghdad and western Iraq faced the worst U.S. military operations during 2006. The policy of siege, raids and large-scale detentions led to massive killing of civilians in cities like Haditha, Karma and Ramadi. "Those Americans take us all for terrorists," the manager of a human rights NGO in Ramadi to the west of Baghdad told IPS.
Speaking on condition that he and his organisation remain unnamed for fear of U.S. military reprisals, he added:
"Their (U.S. military's) crimes in Fallujah in 2004 were exposed, but they have committed a lot more crimes in 2006, and the world is silent about them. There is moaning in every house in the western and northern parts of the city (Ramadi) for losing members of their families."
A poll conducted by the well-respected group World Public Opinion last month showed that 61 percent of Iraqis support attacks against U.S. forces. The poll found that 83 percent of Iraqis surveyed want the U.S. to withdraw completely next year.
U.S. casualties increased dramatically during the last three months of the year. This year saw at least 812 coalition soldier deaths in Iraq, with December looking to be one of the deadliest months for them, according to the website Iraq Coalition Casualties.
So far, at least 3,193 occupation troops have been killed in Iraq, 2,946 of them from the United States, according to the website. In addition, there have been 46,880 U.S. non-mortal casualties, including non-hostile and medical evacuations.
With no drastic changes imminent to the failed U.S. policy in Iraq, coupled with an Iraqi government that grows more impotent by the day, Iraqis have dim hopes of improvement in 2007. More writing, commentary, photography, pictures and images at http://dahrjamailiraq.com

Guest Article #81: Adaptation Strategies Should Factor in Migration [viewed]
Today there are more people on the move than ever before: one in every seven persons is an international or internal migrant, and almost every country is simultaneously a country of origin, transit or destination. The UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20) acknowledged migrants' contributions to sustainable development and made reference to migrants' rights. However, Rio+20 failed to further connect the dots between migration, development and adaptation to climate change.

DescriptionThe game continues the story of the young princess Ariel. After she rightfully regained her throne, people enjoyed a peaceful life under her benevolent reign. But this peaceful existence did not last long... Two adventurers who were wandering through mountains met a mysterious evil being, who threatened to ruin Ariel's kingdom. After that, the two men disappeared without a trace. Ariel's servants reported to her about the matter. After consulting her wise grandmother, Ariel decided to go out herself, to meet up with her old trusty companions and to find out the origin of the new threat.
The game is a console-style RPG - you fight random enemies in turn-based combat viewed from first-person perspective. Enemies may attack you from the sides, and you should pay attention which enemy you face. A unique feature the game uses is the ability to get special items called "souls" after battles, and then to use them to forge your own armor.

Title translationFushigi no Tabi means "Mysterious Journey". Fushigi is one of the most frequent words to be included in Japanese game titles. Probably only bōken (adventure) and densetsu (legend) can beat it!

I'm doing a radio show (podcast) on my blog. I set up a separate category for posts including links to the mp3 files within each post. When I view the RSS2 feed for that category, there's no enclosure tags in the feed items.
I've looked through the codex for answers and also other blogs, but all I find is info saying that WP is supposed to handle the enclosures automatically.
I'm using WP 1.5.2 with the pretty urls enabled. The podcast category on the site is http://www.gadgetizer.com/gadgets/radio/ and the feed is at http://www.gadgetizer.com/gadgets/radio/feed/rss2/
My hosting is standard setup with PHP 4.4.1 and MySQL 4.0.25 if that makes a difference
Is there something I'm doing wrong? As I said above, my understanding is that WP handles enclosures automatically.
If someone could offer suggestions I'd really appreciate them. Thanks.

Not only do you get the chance to get off the beaten track, you may well also have the opportunity to develop long-standing friendships with like-minded travellers.
At Virgin Holidays we have two types of tours available to our guests. Firstly we have 'seat-in-coach' tours, these are operated by our local agents and are set itineraries for English speaking guests so are sold to other companies as well as Virgin Holidays. These tours are often a great introduction to a destination ticking off the 'must-sees', are usually based on a minimum of 2 passengers so guaranteed to travel and work out a great value option. Secondly we have our exclusive tours, designed by the expert team at Virgin Holidays with our local agents and are only available to Virgin Holidays customers to a maximum group size of 25.

There is no denying it, touring is one crazy holiday. Most itineraries involve several destinations, some early mornings, maybe long days and lots of walking but we guarantee that it is well worth the effort. What is an early morning if you can see the Taj Mahal at sunrise? Is a walk too much if it is along the Great Wall of China? No way. We guarantee the all that hard work pays off and we know you deserve some well-deserved R&R afterwards. On each tour page we have highlighted our favourite extension to your tour, usually down to flight routes or distances from the end of the tour, we make it easy for you with our expert recommendations.
With so many amazing tours to experience, we've highlighted which we feel would be most suitable for those travellers who can walk short distances, manage the steps on and off the coaches either by themselves or supported by an accompanying passenger and where a folding wheelchair can be accommodated in the coach's luggage compartment. So don't hold back on seeing the world with Virgin Holidays!

As the story goes, Killer Mike (aka Mike Bigga), El-P, and Big Boi all got in the studio together – Stankonia, to be exact – to record tracks for Mike's upcoming R.A.P. (Rebellious African People's) Music LP. It's unclear if this is the first track to feature both Mike and Big Boi together since their fallout a few years back, but according to El's twitter, it's 1 of 3 joints produced for the LP.

Hi there,
I am wondering if giving Facebook Social Plugins, specifically the Comments Plugin, an xid, is even worth it. Currently I am planning on using this code for my posts:
div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script>
<fb:comments href="<?php $blogurl = get_bloginfo('url'); $postid = get_the_id(); echo $blogurl . '/?p=' . $postid; ?>" perms="email" num_posts="0" width="629"></fb:comments>
It returns the href as: http://example.com/?p=30, which I figure should be permanent even if I edit the "permalink" of the URL in the WP post editor.
Is generating and passing an XID necessary for my comments to work (I don't have any previous ones, this is a new site). If the xid is necessary, how can I pass it to FB?

This is a random question/request. When I go to insert media or add a featured image using the 3.5 beta media browser, It would be nice to be able to see which page I am on as the new media browser covers any reference on the page (page title, content).
When working on multiple pages (browser tabs) it is easy to forget which page is which.
Maybe a page reference at the top of the media browser lightbox, or move the browser down a bit to show the page title?

4 Takeaways from Webcast Guest Speaker Kate Leggett: Get Going with Modern Customer Service
By Tuula Fai on Nov 11, 2015
Want to Get Going with Modern Customer Service but you don't know where to start? Here are 4 takeaways from CustomerThink's webcast with Forrester Analyst Kate Leggett and Oracle CX Strategist JP Saunders.
1. Service is Vital to Customer Experience (CX)
Make service a core part of your CX strategy. Why? Customers have more interactions with your service organization than any other business function. As a result, investing here can lead to dramatic gains in your customers' overall experience.
2. Omni-channel is an Evolution, Not a Revolution
Modernization doesn't happen overnight. It occurs in stages where you lay foundational elements like FAQ knowledge to ensure consistent answers across channels. When you take this evolutionary approach, the efficiencies you gain in early stages help pay for future service improvements.
3. Get Going with a Multi-Channel Strategy
To 'Get Going' with your multi-channel strategy, you need to invest in three key areas:
- Empower customers with self-service
- Provide multiple choices of channels
- Enable customers to help each other
Empowering customers to find their own answers online is critical because web self-service now surpasses phone as customers' most preferred support channel. A good self-service strategy not only reduces service volume and costs, it also increases customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Providing multiple channels of choice enables you to serve customers where they are. But you also need to give them the ability to start in one channel (e.g. web self-service) and move to another (e.g. chat or email). To do that, you must connect your service channels and provide answers from one knowledge base.
Enabling customers to help each other in social communities not only gives them another way to find information quickly, it also keeps your content fresh; and boosts buyer confidence as peer-generated content fosters trust. In addition, you deepen customer affinity for your brand.4. Use the Phone to Build Trust
Once your self-service site is established, you can use the phone channel for more complex inquiries requiring agent assistance. These higher touch interactions provide the kind of personalized guidance that helps strengthen customer relationships and loyalty.

Here's the text of a cringe-worthy poem displayed on ten signs along the Burke-Gilman Trail to notify bicyclists that a portion of the trail will be closed through Fremont for the next two years. The city's transportation department wrote the signs with the help of a PR consultant.
We all love the Burke-Gilman Trail
Wending by hill and through dale,
But not far ahead
The trail you must shed
And along 34th you will sail!
You've followed the signs without fail
With nary a whine or a wail.
The path's yours again
For a run or a spin
Viva la Burke-Gilman Trail!

OBJECTIVE: To establish the positive role of Homoeopathy in curing surgical diseases like uterine fibroid and ovarian cyst through homoeopathic medicine at the general practice in Allahabad India.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The well-proven Homeopathic medicines were selected on the basis of principles of homeopathy to the patients of uterine fibroid and ovarian cyst during the period of 1996 to 2004. The patients were assessed on the basis of changes in the symptoms during the period of 3-4 months and Ultrasound done after that to assess the size of fibroid.
RESULTS: Statistical Data of patients cured by us 1996-2004:
No. Of Patients entered – 123
No. Of patients who followed the protocol – 100
No. Of patients which improved – 85
No. Of patients with complete removal of fibroid – 48
No. Of patients whose size reduced but no complete removal – 20
Success rate Cure-48%
Rate of Response to Homoeopathy- 85%
CONCLUSIONS: Homeopathy is becoming increasingly popular throughout the entire world. Now it is time to prove to the world what homeopathy can offer in surgical diseases. Homeopathic medicines cannot take the place of surgery but can be of great help to the patients who do not want to go for surgery or cannot be operated upon due to various medical reasons. It is also ideal for underdeveloped and developing countries where financial factors play a major role in deciding the options for treatment.
