Neurofibromatosis-1 is an inherited disorder in which nerve tissue tumors (neurofibromas) form in the:
NF1; Von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis
NF1 is an inherited disease. If either parent has NF1, each of their children has a 50% chance of having the disease.
NF1 also appears in families with no history of the condition. In these cases, it is caused by a new gene change (mutation) in the sperm or egg. NF1 is caused by problems with a gene for a protein called neurofibromin.
Neurofibromatosis causes tissue along the nerves to grow uncontrollably. This growth can put pressure on affected nerves.
If the growths are in the skin, there are no major symptoms. If the growths are in other nerves or parts of the body, they can cause pain, severe nerve damage, and loss of function in the area the nerve affects. Problems with feeling or movement can occur, depending on which nerves are affected.
The condition can be very different from person to person, even among people in the same family who have the same NF1 gene change.
"Coffee-with-milk" (cafe-au-lait) spots are the hallmark symptom of neurofibromatosis. Many healthy people have 1 or 2 small cafe-au-lait spots. However, adults who have six or more spots that are bigger than 1.5 cm in diameter (0.5 cm in children) could have neurofibromatosis. In some people with the condition, these spots may be the only symptom.
Other symptoms may include:
A doctor who treats NF1 will diagnose this condition. The doctor may be a:
The diagnosis will usually be made based on the unique symptoms and signs of neurofibromatosis.
Signs include:
Tests may include:
There is no specific treatment for neurofibromatosis. Tumors that cause pain or loss of function may be removed. Tumors that have grown quickly should be removed promptly as they may become cancerous (malignant). Experimental treatments for severe tumors are under investigation.
Some children with learning disorders may need special schooling.
For more information and resources, contact the Children's Tumor Foundation.
If there are no complications, the life expectancy of people with neurofibromatosis is almost normal. With the right education, people with neurofibromatosis can live a normal life.
Although mental impairment is generally mild, NF1 is a known cause of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Learning disabilities are a common problem.
Some people are treated differently because they have hundreds of tumors on their skin.
Patients with neurofibromatosis have an increased chance of developing severe tumors. In rare cases, these can shorten a person's lifespan.
Call your health care provider if:
Genetic counseling is recommended for anyone with a family history of neurofibromatosis.
Annual eye, skin, back, nervous system (neurological) exams, and blood pressure monitoring are strongly recommended.

Sorry for the delay in getting this post up.
The huge snowstorm that hit the area made the boys happy with the extra day off school -- it seems like they have been home 15 times this year -- but it messes with our high school coverage.
We lost the wrestling and basketball games we were going to cover tonight, and then it all got bumped a day into the Sunday and Monday editions of the ABJ. We are all set now but sometimes, especially with the space available in the paper, it is like sticking square pegs in round holes.
But enough with that, here's what's on TV this weekend.
My day started by waking up to the Cavs trade of Mo Williams to the L.A. Clippers. Jason Lloyd worked on that story most of the night after covering the game against the Rockets on Wednesday night. He didn't stop either, going on numerous radio shows throughout the morning. It is always cool to get stories first in your market.
Once I got to office, I spent most of the day getting all of the blog entries and tweets from Nate Ulrich and Marla Ridenour at the NFL Scouting Combine set up for you all to read on Ohio.com. There is just so much information to report on and write concerning the NFL Draft, it can be overwhelming. We are really working to make this a one-stop shopping spree for Browns information, and this weekend is the kickoff of that coverage.
Jason tracked the Cavs moves all day and we got that up as fast as we could, too.
Michael Beaven called in the office around noon while covering state diving for us and got to report that we had a state champion in Haleigh Bartlett from Cuyahoga Falls.
All in all a lot of news and a lot of production.
Here is the release about ESPN and its new ombudsman.
The theory in the media industry is that the public needs an advocate to keep media companies in line as far as following its own policies, etc.
My question is do you guys care about this stuff or is it just media types going back and forth? Let me know.
My first reaction to the Cavs trade is that it was a good one.
Baron Davis for Mo Williams is an easy choice with the way Williams has performed this season. He never lived up to being the Robin to LeBron James' Batman.
Now Davis has had his ups and downs in his career too but he has to be considered an upgrade. He does carry a hefty salary. That Jamario Moon was dealt, again, no surprise. He really didn't fit into Byron Scott's plans.
But the big prize is at least a top 10 pick in the first round. In the end, it can be said that the Cavs are paying about $10 million to add a second choice early in the draft.
That is the prize of doing business, I would say.
The Indians have four of Baseball America's top 100 prospects. Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall (25), pitcher Alex White (47), infielder Jason Kipnis (54) and pitcher Drew Pomeranz (61).
Here is the complete list from Baseball America.
Don Banks of Sports Illustrated published his latest mock draft, and he is another vote in the corner of Marcell Dareus of Alabama to the Browns.
He also sees Cam Newton climbing the draft boards quickly, going 10th to the Redskins.
Here is a link to the complete first round by Banks.
Mike Beacom of Pro Football Weekly goes over 100 active NFL players and rates their chances of making the Hall of Fame. Only one Browns player is mentioned and you will be surprised, drum roll, please, -- Jake Delhomme.
Delhomme is rated in a very low category but I still thought it was interesting. I would have thought Joe Thomas might have been mentioned but at the rate linemen make the HOF his chances are probably less than Delhomme's.
Here is the link.
Dennis Dillon of the Sporting News talked to three of the more well-respected NFL draftniks about the upcoming player selections. The 10 questions ranged from the deepest position in the draft to whom the safest pick might be.
Here is the first questions and answer:
1. Which is the deepest position in the draft? Mayock says: "Without a doubt, it's defensive line. You could possibly give first-round grades to as many as nine ends, and I think seven or eight will go (in Round 1). And with all these 3-4 NFL teams, that end known as the '5-technique' is hard to find. This year, there are several good ones. Most of them played as a 4-3 end in college, but because of their length and their size they fit ideally for the 3-4 teams. J.J. Watt (Wisconsin), Cameron Jordan (Cal), Cameron Heyward (Ohio State)—those guys are ideal 5-techniques. Those three plus Da'Quan Bowers (Clemson), Adrian Clayborn (Iowa), Robert Quinn (North Carolina), Ryan Kerrigan (Purdue) and Aldon Smith (Missouri) probably get first-round grades right now."

Many of you probably don't know who DeMar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors is but he is right in his criticism of the NBA dunk contest. In fact in watching the show Saturday night, my wife thought he was the best dunker, and she was probably right. Aren't all wives right?
Here is the Associated Press story:
Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan is finished competing in the NBA's slam dunk contest unless the myriad of props that dominated this year's event are eliminated.
DeRozan said Tuesday he thinks he was robbed when he didn't reach the final of Saturday's event despite a series of creative dunks. Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers won by leaping over a car to edge Washington's JaVale McGee.
A Los Angeles native, DeRozan says he was disappointed in how the contest played out in his hometown after spending extra time practicing and preparing. He didn't include props such as the car, a stuffed toy and using an extra basket as other competitors did.
DeRozan says he'll only compete again if it's a true dunk contest and not a prop dunk contest.
The Carmelo Anthony trade along with The Decision are sending the NBA down a dangerous path.
ESPN this morning put the relevant teams at nine out of 30. And only two of them were in middle or small markets, San Antonio and Oklahoma City.
If the season was 40-50 games it would be different but filling arenas with rookies and D League players for 80-some games is going to be tough for a lot of franchises.
Why should fans invest with their emotions and wallets, when the league doesn't care about them and when a championship is a pipe dream.
Contracting the number of teams is the only way to keep the league viable.
My TV clicker will be all about NASCAR this weekend. The truck race is tonight at 7 p.m. on SPEED and a good documentary on the day that Dale Earnhardt died 10 years ago is on at 10 p.m. tonight on SPEED. The Nationwide race is on ESPN2 at 1 p.m. Saturday. The big race is Sunday at Noon on WJW, but there is a prerace show on SPEED that starts at 9 a.m. Definitely the Super Bowl of NASCAR, and its TV partners do a good job presenting it that way.
But here are other TV highlights.
Carlos Santana had his first season in the majors cut short by a knee injury, but he showed enough to be considered one of the best young players in the game. Sports Illustrated take a look at those players.
Ben Reiter, Sports Illustrated Last season occasioned an influx of young talent into Major League Baseball that was rare in its quality. In the National League alone, it included an outfielder elected to the All-Star Game (the Braves' Jason Heyward); a catcher who hit third in the lineup of the World Series champion (the Giants' Buster Posey); a starting pitcher who finished fourth in the league in ERA (the Cardinals' Jamie Garcia); and a slugger who ranked fifth in the league in at-bats per home run (the Marlins' Mike Stanton).
This year's crop of burgeoning stars will likely not equal 2010's, as few do. "Everybody was talking about that group even during spring training last year -- the Stantons, the Heywards, the Poseys, the Garcias," says Braves GM Frank Wren. "I don't get the sense that it's as high profile a group this year."
Not as high profile, perhaps, but potentially deeper. Leading the pack could be a 21-year-old, 6'5", 225-pound Californian whom the Braves selected in the second round of the 2007 draft, 64 spots after they picked Heyward, who would quickly become his best friend and roommate: first baseman Freddie Freeman, who enters spring as perhaps the only rookie position player with a starting spot all but locked down. "We have every confidence that he'll be our Opening Day first baseman," says Wren.
College baseball takes to the field today with the first games of the season.
Keith Law of ESPN took this time to take a look at the top 50 prospects for the baseball draft in June. The Indians have the eighth pick overall.
His top five players are Anthony Rendon, a third baseman at Rice; George Springer, an outfielder at UConn; Gerrit Cole, a right-handed pitcher at UCLA; Bubba Starling, a center fielder/pitcher who is in high school but has a football scholarship to Nebraska; and Sonny Gray, a right-hander pitcher at Vanderbilt.
The rest is part of an ESPN Insider account. Here is a link for those with a paid account.
Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers seems to be fighting his demons with alcohol again. The Tigers first baseman was charged with DUI on Wednesday night, and he reportedly took a swig from a bottle of scotch in front of the arresting officer.
He was arrested at the end of the 2009 season with drinking issues. But last season, he put up near American League MVP numbers. Not sure where this will end up but there is no doubt he is a talented players.
If he misses time it will affect the fortunes of the Tigers and the rest of the teams in the AL Central.
Here is a quick look at the top 50 players going into the NFL Scouting Combine next weekend in Indianapolis, according to SI.com. As I wrote yesterday, Nate Ulrich and Marla Ridenour will be covering for the Beacon Journal and Ohio.com. The Browns have the sixth pick in the draft. There is one Ohio State player in the top 50.
By Tony Pauline, SI.com One week before the NFL Scouting Combine begins in Indianapolis and it's time to revisit the draft board. Several players improved their grade with impressive performance at events such as the Senior Bowl and Shrine Game. Others were passed by and now rank lower.
Once again it looks like the first two rounds will be heavy with quality defensive line prospects. Twenty-one players who can make a living on the defensive line grace our top 50, a number that's sure to stand out in April.
An interesting side note is that no quarterback ranks among our top 10, although many mock drafts project two to be selected in the first handful of picks. More than anything else, this illustrates the dire need many franchises have at the position and, as witnessed in past drafts, the willingness to roll the dice on a lower rated prospect in the hopes of developing stability underneath center.
Here is a link to the complete story.
I met with Marla Ridenour and Nate Ulrich on Wednesday to map out our coverage of the NFL Scouting Combine, which is next weekend.
We planned a lot of good feature ideas and nuggets for the paper and Nate's Browns blog. At the combine, they also will be getting a lot of legwork done on our stories and analysis features leading up to the NFL Draft that will run throughout April. The draft is April 28-30.
What are some of the topics you would like to see Nate and Marla cover next weekend on the blog or in print? Comment here or e-mail me at email@example.com.
I will post what I am calling Balancing Ledgers a couple times per week. Basically just some notes that I have written down and will pass along to you. I will tag them as Balancing Ledgers in case you want to find them easier down the road. Here is today's.
I am Ron Ledgard, the sports editor of the Akron Beacon Journal, and I am bringing back my blog.
I want this to be a two-way street for the readers and myself. I will pop in with my thoughts on the topics of the day in sports, whether it is local or national. And I welcome your thoughts. If you have a question, I will answer it on the blog. I plan on making this a daily occurence, but that will take you asking questions.
I also want to show you what went into our thoughts on providing coverage, and I want to answer any questions you have on our process.
I really want this to be an entertaining and informative blog. Yes, it will be fun but it also will be a serious place for discussion. I know when I am passionate about something I want frank discussions and to be taken seriously.
My staff and I really have made a push to make our blogs, Twitter accounts and daily coverage in the Beacon and Ohio.com a one-stop shopping place for Northeast Ohio sports. And we work to make that happen every day.
My two newest additions in Jason Lloyd on the Cavs and Nate Ulrich on the Browns are developing outstanding information blogs on their beats and are working everyday to make it as interactive as possible.
I want to do the same here.
You can reach me by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter @RonLedgard.

As heavy rain drenched the state, several major rivers rose beyond riverbanks and flooded the state. Out of 92 counties, 54 were affected by floodwater. Major roads, including Interstate 65, were submerged and closed to traffic. Several neighborhoods in Indianapolis were evacuated when the White River rose several feet above flood level. Over 100 hundred patients from a hospital were removed as a precaution. Three people drowned in Remington and Columbus.

Any help is appriciated.
Hi. I'm a bit confused. What part is not lining up side by side like a float should? Tested in Chrome/FF/IE7/8/9 and all of them are displaying two lines of stuff, one being those images, and the second being those colored boxes. How is it displaying for you?
Its displaying as it should in the browser(s), but in dreamweaver the boxes are under eachother. (The colored boxes)
Sorry for not mentioning that before.
Dreamweaver design view is based off a REALLY old Opera version. Don't worry at all about that design view. It's not a browser, so why should you bother coding for it :).
Move on. It's not important at all to fix this since your users won't experience seeing the site in Dreamweaver.
But the coding is right, or is there anything to do to fix it since it's pretty annoying to work with something that's not correct seen in DW anyway? :/
Do you also encounter problems where it dosen't show the same in the browser as in DW even though coding is right?
As Ryan said, how a site looks in Dw is irrelevant, as it's not a browser (or is a very old version of one). Test your sites in real browsers and there's no issue. Testing your site in Dw is like testing an airplane in the water. It's an irrelevant test.
I don't have Dreamweaver. I find it useless to me. I prefer just using straight up Notepad to code :). Can't get any simpler than that.
And your coding is right. The Opera version is REALLY old. It doesn't understand a lot of CSS correctly as most browsers do nowadays.
That really sucks to be honest, it would be good if they could like "implent" how firefox looks in the preview in DW.
Heh, okay.
EDIT: I just get confused over how it looks in dw preview since I'm not good at coding (I'm learning as you know).
And you can call me Kevin if you ever gona say my name
We are all confused about Dw. Focus your confusion on real browsers, as they will provide you with plenty.
Well you could always just recode Dreamweaver so that it includes the FF version.
Or you could make your own WYSIWYG editor (don't)
ORR you could just save hte file and view in browser (really such a simple thing to do. CTRL+S, switch programs. CTRL+R).
I think I'll do nothing about it really. I think Ill have to live with it.

Yesterday I've tried BT 4 R1 dev release. When i started airbase-ng the AP appeard on the client's AP list but it was impossible to associate. On airbase-ng I didnt see any clue about connecting. Even though intel 3945 is comfirmed to work out of box, mine 3945 doesnt work in R1 or even FINAL release.
That could means that the problem lies somewhere else - firmware of wireless card/some bios settings? Bios firmware? I have no idea.
Any suggestions?

E.D. Hill wrong on Zarqawi's nationality
When a caller on The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly complained that the United States is calling "everybody that's resisting our attack" in Iraq "terrorists," co-host E.D. Hill said, "He didn't wanna talk about that in any serious way," then served up her factual retort: "If they [Iraqi insurgents] were fighting for their country, as you say, they would have fought for Saddam Hussein. They would not be fighting for an Egyptian, Zarqawi." Moments later, she emphasized her point: "They're fighting with an Egyptian."
Zarqawi is Jordanian [1].
From the November 11 edition of the nationally syndicated Radio Factor:
CALLER: I've been listening to you for a couple of months -- maybe three months now. And I've been dying to get on the phone and talk to you. First of all, I disagree with a lot of things that you say. If we're gonna attack a country just because the regime is an oppressive regime, then we need to attack a lot of the countries in the Middle East. And take the leaders out.
We invade a country and we are going into Fallujah right now. And we're calling everybody that's resisting our attack "terrorists." These people are defending their country. They don't want anybody in their country and they want us out of there.
BILL O'REILLY [co-host]: They're defending their country?
CALLER: Absolutely.
O'REILLY: [laugh]. All right, [caller's name] --
HILL: He didn't wanna talk about that in any serious way.
O'REILLY: You know, [caller's name], they're defending their country. Um, it's so absurd. If they were defending their country they would have fought for Saddam Hussein, OK? Instead of blowing up civilians in Baghdad.
HILL: Right. If they were fighting for their country, as you say, they would have fought for Saddam Hussein. They would not be fighting for an Egyptian, Zarqawi.
O'REILLY: Right. Hey [caller's name], why don't you call back? I wanna yell at you [laugh]. I just feel like yellin' at [caller's name].
HILL: But it's just -- the very nature of what he said is ridiculous.
O'REILLY: Because he's -- he's a --
HILL: They're fighting with an Egyptian. They're fighting with Jordanian militants.

of course there are up and coming gyms too like salford but they are not in the same league as bad co yet.

Replacing the Alternator/Oil cooler block off seal DIY
First, I would recommend is to make sure the vehicle is cool as with any job working on or around the engine. Safety first!
1. Drain all coolant into an absolute clean bucket or whatever container you have if you wish to reuse the coolant.
2. Drain your power steering(hydraulic) fluid in the same manner with a clean bucket. That's $40 a qt if you contaminate the fluid or simply just put new fluid in.(Thats up to you)
After these first two steps you can proceed to start doing the maintenance on your beautiful 7.
3. Carefully remove the Active Stabilizer Bar. Be sure not to break to smaller lines going into the oscillating motor. Label or mark the steel braided lines to make sure they go back into their original position.
There are 2 brackets with 2 nuts on each one that secures it to the front axle. Remove those I believe they are 10mm. Last portion to remove the bar are the swing supports which are connected right above both front tire.
NOTE: If the stud spins with the nut, you must insert a torx bit or torx screwdriver whatever you prefer. I'd recommend a bit on a ratchet. I believe that size is a Torx 30.
Now you can fully remove the Active Stabilizer Bar.
4. Next is going to be your bottom pulley or guide. Held in by 2 bolts. Remove that (having someone taking the tension off of the belt). Pull the drive belt up and out of the way so that it doesn't somehow come into contact with any hydraulic fluid (power steering fluid). If it does come in contact the belt must be changed. According to BMW that is. I wouldn't test that. Being that it's a critical part.
5. Power steering pump. There are three mounting points. Two bolt on the front and 1 one the back side. Now pay very close attention to the back mount(#6 in the pic below) make sure when you re-assemble this that you know how many threads are showing. Its basically an adjustment knob. Failure to do this will cause an annoying squeal on the drive belt. This is the main part to worry about re-installing in my opinion I didn't know what was causing that awful squeal.
6. Next will be your engine mount brace. There are 4 torx bolts(size 12 female torx socket) mounted to the side of the engine(this is where a lot of extensions and universals will come into play). Last bolt is mounted pointed downward through the engine mount. You can reach this one by looking to the ground from the top by the suspension/steering fluid reservoir.
7. Last but not least is your alternator bracket. Very simple to remove this one. Once removed take out the flattened old $4 seal and install your new one.(#2 in the second pic) Now just re-assemble in reverse order and service and top off all fluids drained.
I hope this helps with anyone who has this problem or just doesn't want to pay for the maintenance.

For those DIY'er tid bit of info as I'm currently battling this DIY rite now ! I think the hardest part to remove was that DAM rear power steering pump nut! I finally was able to reach the nut from the top reaching down as if your going to straight down for that top engine mount bolt in the following step! Easier than anything & i can't believe I struggled so long with this bump amongst our ****ty rainy jersey weather!!!
i know this is an older pot but great writeup.
Just finished this fix on a 2004 745i in ~5 hours total, did not drain P/S reservoir, just removed from mount and laid down toward front of car.
Taped a sheet of cardboard over radiator to keep from fubaring fins. Did not drain coolant (air cooled alt) and did not remove Active swaybar.
Removed the electric fan assy to gain space and put car up on ramps.
Only problem was a missed torx bolt on front of bracket flush with edge.
Go slow take your time and take frequent breaks. Hope this helps
best regards,
I feel crazy for asking, do you actually remove the alternator? I don't see anywhere that you do.
Honestly don't remember removing. Had just changed it a month before. Think I just slipped the belt and swung it out of the way.
I am sure thAt it was a bitch of a job I would not want to repeat.

Backup Camera Regulation Expected to be Completed Dec 31
Tiffany Kaiser
December 14, 2012 8:06 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: blogspot.com)
The rearview camera mandate would make it so every vehicle would have a backup camera for seeing behind the vehicle when in reverse
After many delays, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is ready to begin finalizing regulation for
rearview cameras in all vehicles
DOT Secretary Ray LaHood said he is meeting with White House officials to finalize the regulations by December 31.
We have a meeting with the White House about this in the next few days so I hope that they see the importance of this the way we do," LaHood said.
The rearview camera mandate would make it so every vehicle would have a backup camera for seeing behind the vehicle when in reverse. The idea was triggered by the 300 deaths and 16,000 injuries annually caused by a driver's inability to see behind their vehicle when backing up.
Many of the injuries and death affect young children and senior citizens.
The rearview camera regulations date back to 2007, when Congress initially approved legislation to set these standards by February 28, 2011. This
date was delayed
to February of this year, and again to December 31.
While DOT and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are both behind the making of these new standards, others, namely automakers, have worried that the cost of installing these cameras on each vehicle would drive the price up too high.
However, over time, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers has met with White House officials to discuss costs in the past in order to make it work.
Just last week,
the White House
finished its review
of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) proposal to
mandate event data recorders
(EDR) in all new vehicles.
also known as "black boxes," collect driver data such as speed, use of a seatbelt, whether brakes were applied, etc. before and after a vehicle crash. The idea behind them is to deploy better safety measures for vehicles as well as better overall vehicle design.
The Detroit News
"Google fired a shot heard 'round the world, and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people." -- Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.)

'"You'd like to win all four games on one night but the schedule isn't set up that way," said Ruff. "It's dealing with adversity, dealing with emotions of a loss. It's being able to put the win away as fast as you put the loss away. I think we were able to prove that to ourselves over the last couple months under extreme pressure … because we knew we couldn't afford to go on any two-game, three-game little slide. Or I wouldn't be standing here and (the players) wouldn't be in the dressing room and (the media) would be doing baseball stories right now."'

BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College baseball team earned a series win over Lenoir-Rhyne with a 6-1 defeat of the Bears in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon at Gil Coan Field.
The Tornados clinched the series win after prevailing in the opener 8-2 on Friday night, but fell short of the sweep with a 3-2 loss in Saturday's second game.
Game 1: Brevard 6, Lenoir-Rhyne 1
BC righty Zac Joyce (W, 2-2) limited the Bears to one run on five hits while striking out a season-high nine batters in the complete-game effort.
The Tornados took a 1-0 lead in the 2nd when Chad Fisher tapped an infield single with the bases loaded to score Hunter Donaldson, who started the inning with a single up the middle.
BC went ahead 3-0 in the 3rd on sacrifice flies from Donaldson and then Tyler Tant before the Bears scored in the top of the 4th on a Chase Hathcock sacrifice fly.
Donaldson helped BC extend their lead in the 7th with a two-run double before Fisher singled through the left side to score Donaldson and make it a 6-1 lead for BC.
Game 2: Lenoir-Rhyne 3, Brevard 2
Brandon Walker's two-run double in the 6th put L-R in front 3-2 for their first lead of the series. The Bears scored their first run in the 5th on a sac fly from Ivan Vieitez after BC took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 2nd.
Brayden Morris' single up the middle put the Tornados on the scoreboard in the 2nd before John Slade scored on a L-R fielding error to make it 2-0.
JD Chaplain (L, 1-3) allowed three runs in 5.1 innings, giving up seven hits and two walks while striking out five. Dustin Haithcox finished the 6th following Walker's double and Hunter McBride threw a scoreless 7th.
The Tornados are back in action on Tuesday as they host Young Harris for a nonconference matchup at Gil Coan Field at 3 p.m.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A preliminary report on a fatal helicopter crash during production of a reality TV show north of Los Angeles says the craft suddenly pitched down and hit the ground about a minute after taking off in early morning darkness on Feb. 10.
The National Transportation Safety Board says the production crew on the ground was not filming at the time, but there was a camera operator aboard and a camera pointed at an actor in the left front seat. The recording devices were sent to NTSB headquarters for examination.
The pilot, camera operator and actor were killed in the 3:30 a.m. crash of the Bell 206B JetRanger at a remote site near Acton.
The helicopter was being used for scenes in which the actor dropped a backpack to the ground.

This Forum has been archivedVisit the new Forums
|Forums: Index → Narutopedia Collaboration → Community Project, Narutopedia in the News
This is a little thought I had after reading one of Jimmy(Jimbo) Whales' e-mails to the Wikia-l Mailing List.
I was thinking of at some point in the future getting the Narutopedia published in some of the Magazines or other Online or Offline news sources that English fans of Naruto would commonly look at. In such a case, we'd have streams of brand new readers, and potentially editors coming in.
Of course, there are plenty of things that we need to do before we're at a state in which I'd feel that publicity would be a good idea.
- Finish copying over all the Wikipedia content as content bases.
- Improve the various stubs we have on Major, or at least early references characters (Basically, ones which appear in the dubbed series being important.)
- Create a brand new Infobox setup. (I need to rewrite the Character one, and create one for Jutsu, Tailed-Beasts, Objects, etc...)
- Semantic MediaWiki will probably be finished by the time everything is done. So we should even have a nice browsing ability setup.
- Fix up our lists and organization to properly take advantage of the automatic methods we've setup for use by that point in time.
Also, I'm hoping to put in a note or two about Wikia ACG along with the Narutopedia. I should also try to have the extensions nicely working by that point in time.
I'm wondering when the planned release of the dubbed Naruto Shippūden series is. It would be quite an interesting idea to pitch the Narutopedia in as something to read up on at the time that Shippūden is released to the English fans.
I'd also love suggestions on what Magazines and other Anime news sources you guys think we could pitch to. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Dec 14, 2007 @ 04:36 (UTC)

CATO's Sanchez fact checks Fox News' coverage of Patriot Act
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
CATO research fellow Julian Sanchez takes a look at some Fox News coverage of the Patriot Act and he's none too pleased:
It's nice to see that some media outlets are starting to pay attention to deliberation in the Senate over the reauthorization of expiring PATRIOT Act provisions. It's less nice when, as in this FOX News report, "paying attention" means "peddling outrageous falsehoods." To be sure, the issue can be dauntingly complicated, but these are enormous howlers that the most elementary fact checking ought to catch. Many of the false claims appear to echo this Wall Street Journal op-ed by former attorney general Michael Mukasey, which is similarly misleading. Let's review.
I think it's telling that opponents of common-sense civil liberties safeguards don't seem to think they can make their case without wildly misrepresenting the facts about both investigations and the changes legislators have actually proposed. They have to make it sound as though people are trying to eliminate important investigatory powers altogether—which nobody is arguing for—because it's awfully hard to argue against reasonable and carefully crafted privacy protections if you're honest about what they actually entail. And isn't it a little rich that a network that is forever warning us that we're on the verge of descending into fascism should be so hostile to any suggestion that there ought to be some moderate limits on government surveillance? I'd have thought having a Democrat in the White House might make it acceptable to care about the scope of executive power to spy on Americans again.
Be sure to check out the entire piece for all of the problems with the recent coverage, it's well worth the read. Sanchez has also posted a video on the subject:

Costa Rica's Arenal Volcano has once again erupted into activity, spewing ash and lava and prompting the closure of the national park at its base. Here at the Sleep Inn blog, we have written about recent volcanic activity at the Poás Volcano and about the dramatic eruption of the Irazú Volcano in 1963. We would now like to share with you some volcano-themed haiku. As our regular readers might recall, we recently posted some haiku about Costa Rica, including one about volcanoes.
The first haiku alludes to a theory of UFO enthusiasts who argue that extra-terrestrials make their homes underneath the craters of volcanoes. According to the theory, volcanic eruptions are actually the revving engines of the spaceships that the extra-terrestrials keep docked in their volcanic garages.
A magmatic roar,
grinding of volcanic gears.
Eruption voyage.
The second haiku describes the experience of sitting in the hot springs at the base of Arenal while the volcano rumbles in the distance.
Steam over water,
warmth and danger coexist.
Intricate balance.
The final haiku describes a portion of the drive from the Monteverde Cloud Forest to Arenal. The journey winds through rolling green hills and ends along a rutted, unpaved portion of road through eerily robust vegetation.
The plants look phony,
covered in road dust and ash.
Strange-landscaped journey.
Let us know what you think of our volcano haiku. Or send us your own haiku.

After the nationwide unemployment rate peaked above 10% in late 2009, we saw a fairly rapid decline in jobless rolls during the next twelve months. By March of this year, the headline jobless number had crept back under 9% and renewed optimism in the economic recovery and equity markets.
Well, we've been reading a much different story in the last month or two, with disappointing job creation and a rise in the overall unemployment rate as the meager number of new positions can't keep up with the sheer volume of folks looking for work.
To make matters worse, we are now seeing a disturbing new spate of layoff announcements — not just a dozen or so workers here and there, but pink slips issued by the thousands at some of the biggest blue chips on Wall Street.
In short, there aren't enough jobs to go around now, and there will be even fewer jobs a few months down the road. All this points to significantly higher unemployment in the near future, possibly over the 10% mark.
So where will the biggest damage be done? I think these three sectors top the list:
Financial Sector Layoffs
At the end of June, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) warned that 230 jobs could be on the chopping block between late September and March 31, 2012. But Goldman's labor pool should consider itself lucky. Barclays (NYSE: BCS) announced it will lay off "several hundred" workers this month in addition to the 600 that already were laid off in January. And perhaps most jarring, rumors circulated last week that UBS (NYSE: UBS) is set to cut around 5,000 jobs while rival Credit Suisse (NYSE: CS) is planning to axe about 1,000 staffers.
And that's not counting possible forthcoming layoffs we haven't had confirmed or leaked. Struggling financial stock Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) surely cannot sustain its work force of nearly 290,000 for much longer without some cost-cutting. Revenue is stagnant, BofA stock is in the toilet with a 22% loss year-to-date, and the light at the end of the tunnel isn't close when it comes to the bank's balance sheet.
What's more, consolidation has been the name of the game for the better part of two years, and buyouts naturally create redundancies. In late June, PNC Financial Services Group (NYSE: PNC) announced it would acquire RBC Bank, the U.S. retail banking subsidiary of Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY), in a transaction valued at almost $3.5 billion. Also in June, Capital One (NYSE: COF) made a deal to buy ING Group (NYSE: ING) operations for $9 billion. Big buys like this are done to achieve economies of scale – which means eliminating jobs eventually.
The icing on the cake is that many experts think the financial sector didn't cut deep enough in 2009 and has resumed hiring too quickly. As Wall Street Journal columnist David Weidner noted, "The securities industry still employs about 800,000 people nationwide, according to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. That is only 7.8% fewer than the all-time high, and roughly the same as in 2006, when Bear Stearns Cos. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. still roamed the earth."
In short, the financial sector is staffed much like it was before the crash. So don't expect growth anytime soon – and brace yourself for more layoffs.

dont run through the snow youll leave a trail other than that go to wal-mart in the hunting section and they have the mittens that fold back into cut off gloves those are real nice
yeah, running sucks in the winter. you be hella easy to track.
dont stop....planet rock
anybodys fingers ever seize up in the cold? i'm kinda sketchin cause i don't know if its the cold or i might be gettin arthritis or something. HELP!
nah go into an auto shop and get some mechanics gloves cuz they fit tight and they keep your hands pretty warm. if you try to use big warm gloves they just get in the way n shit.
home depot has some good gloves. they have those
smalls bumps on em so if it gives a great grip on any surface
Agree with your view, i can paint the best in winter after a penis enlargement
^^lol i put some fallen gloves over nitrile keep your heart warmer than the rest cause when your heart gets cold it takes some of the blood from your arms legs and stuf to keep it self warm(greedy bastard) i like my ccs jacket it got down so it is pretty warm head phones in the hood to can also hold 4 cans on the inside
supposedly BEAT paint works perfectly in any weather winter or summer...
can anyone confirm/deny?
there are only like 2 months where it doesn't snow here and a lot of the safest times to get up is when the weather is horrible and nobody wants to leave their house
i normally just fuck with rusto for free or at a dollar per can, but i think after this summer is over i'm going to start paying for expensive paint for the sake of getting up when it's freezing out
Last edited by Tiros1; 05-26-2008 at 03:26 AM.
I've never had a problem with painting in the cold. I heard Molotow paint is all rated for extreme temperatures though.
It's easier to hear people coming when they crunch the snow, so that's cool.
btw, anyone from Anchorage, Alaska? I haven't seen shit except for one piece that looked like it was hella old.

ALWAYS wear gloves. Theres nothing worse then your index finger freezing up on you and not being able to press down.
fuck son i love the winter.all quiet no one out you can wear a scarf or a ski mask.and i love how throughout the whole winter i keep the same spot of frost bite on my cap finger.shits a trophy
orange parka that muffles your speech
whenever i go out bombing i always were kitchen gloves to keep my hands from getting paint on them and i wrap a rubberband around the bottom to make it stay on. alot of the time i will put the can around the rubberband too so i wont drop the can or move it to much. in the winter i throw some hand warmers in them. i swear keeping your hands warm makes your whole body warm and its a necessity if your using markers or mops.
Just keep the cans warm and deal with the frostbite

Welcome to the Recycling Center!
2014 Recyclemania
Recyclemania has come again! This Spring, Recyclemania will run from February 2nd
- March 29th.
SCSU is now SINGLE STREAM
Say goodbye to sorting!
Effective July 1, 2011, paper, bottles, cans and cardboard recycling can be placed in the same recycling bins. Known as "single-stream recycling," SCSU has joined the effort in changing the recycling system to collect common recyclables in the same bin. Recycling bins across campus received new labels announcing the types of commodities that can be recycled. Label replacement occured gradually throughout the 2011-2012 academic year. While bins may continue to be labeled "Paper" or "Bottles, Cans & Plastics," the campus community members can place recyclables in either bin.
There are also locations across campus, such as in the residence halls and in the Engleman rotunda, for regulated wastes (e.g. batteries, ink cartidges, etc.). The Recycling Center also holds an e-waste (electronic waste) collection drive. For a list of acceptable recycling materials and where to recycle, click here.

How Kentucky and Oklahoma Met in the 1951 Sugar Bowl
While the conquering Sooners enjoyed a holiday in Cuba after the dismantling of LSU, a question arose concerning LSU's propriety in the Sugar Bowl - but not over the spy incident. The school's Board of Supervisors had approved $250 to each player as an expense allotment, "subject to all rules and regulations of the Southeastern Conference." "That may be questioned," said NCAA President Karl E. Leib at the governing body's annual convention in Chicago, "but only to standardize procedure. We certainly wouldn't quarrel about making up money the boys lost by leaving their jobs to play in the Sugar Bowl and to take care of valid expenses."
Innocent and aboveboard though it was, this sort of action couldn't help but be noticed by critics of bowls (there were 12 games on January 2, 1950) who felt college games were becoming too commercialized. Precisely because of such money-making ventures as bowls, the NCAA at a later meeting in Dallas adopted a recommendation from the previous year. A bylaw was enacted requiring sponsors to give not less than 75 percent of the gross, including such ancillary revenue producers as broadcast, concession, and movie money, to its participating teams. The Sugar Bowl had tried to pay the 80 percent suggested in 1949, but was still paying off the bonds issued for the expansions of Tulane Stadium. The NCAA ruled that bowls with a bond issue before August of 1949 were permitted 20 percent payment toward that debt.
The Southeastern Conference produced two superb teams for the 1950 season - Kentucky, in the fifth year of Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant's five-year plan, and Tennessee. Bryant had already "secured the Wildcats' first SEC championship when the Vols and Kentucky played late in the season. An early-season loss to Mississippi State was the only blot on Tennessee's record, and Coach Bob Neyland accepted a Cotton Bowl invitation before the Kentucky game.
Charles C. Zatarain was president of the Sugar Bowl and went to Knoxville to view the second-ranked Wildcats play Tennessee in eight-degree weather with four inches of snow. "It was so bad," said Zatarain, "that at the half I could see the special train just getting fans in. They marched downhill like a troop. It was a miserable day. I went to Knoxville for the purpose of inviting Kentucky, but they lost."
It was a day of reckoning for Bryant, who had held the other bowls off in hope of spending New Year's in New Orleans. "I didn't know where we stood," Bryant said, his hopes of a national championship and undefeated season buried under Knoxville's snowdrifts and his personal jinx against Neyland intact. Bryant was never able to beat the General. "The Orange and Cotton had filled, and I couldn't blame the Sugar Bowl folks if they didn't want us after Tennessee whipped us," said Bear.
Bryant and Zatarain wound up in a hotel room with Kentucky Athletic Director Bernie Shively and Southeastern Conference Commissioner Bernie Moore. "We had a line open to the Sugar Bowl office," recalled Zatarain. "I told them Kentucky was a great team, and that as far as my vote was concerned I still wanted them. The committee talked it over, then came back to tell me to ask Bryant if he'd play if he got an invite. Bear reached out, took the phone, and said, "If you invite me, I'll beat Oklahoma!"
"If I had gotten shut out of a major bowl after I had passed up several invitations, I would have had a tough time getting back into Lexington," growled Bryant.
The prediction about beating Oklahoma was premature. The Sooners, ranked No. 1 nationally, hadn't been invited yet. It was felt that Coach Bud Wilkinson didn't want to participate in a bowl that year, that he would rather him team retire undefeated after the regular season. His team voted to play in New Orleans a third consecutive year, however, and Wilkinson accepted the invitation. Kentucky dropped to seventh after the Tennessee defeat, but one statistic provides an insight on just how good these teams were: Kentucky and Oklahoma finished their regular season schedules tied for second nationally in fumbles lost with 27. Despite that horrifying stat, there was one loss between them.
Bryant, aware of his promise and the opportunity to atone for the galling Tennessee defeat, tinkered a bit with his defense. Before the game Bryant cleared the locker room of his underclassmen. He turned, stared, and then commanded the seniors in his grumpy, resonant voice, "I want you to give it your absolute all. Play 'til you drop on the field!"
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
