By the end of September 1918 the Canadians were nearing Cambrai, the key to the enemy defensive position in northern France. Blocking their way was the 30-metre-wide Canal du Nord, a defensive obstacle of major proportions. The Canadian Corps commander, Lieutenant-General Sir Arthur Currie, was equal to the task, however, and he chose to send his men across an unfinished and dry 1200-metre section of the canal rather than to stage a waterborne assault. In what has been called the finest Canadian action of the Great War, 50,000 soldiers funnelled through this narrow corridor on September 27 and guaranteed the fall of Cambrai. In the weeks since August 8, the Canadian Corps had smashed a substantial portion of the German army, but it had lost 31,000 men killed and wounded. There would be still more casualties in the next six weeks: in all, some 20 percent of the Canadian casualties in the Great War came in the open warfare (as opposed to trench fighting) of The Hundred Days.
The film clips show the devastation of the countryside before Cambrai, villages like Havrincourt ruined and torched. German signs on buildings demonstrate that the enemy had settled in during its four years of occupation, even renaming Peronne's railway station a Hauptbahnhof. Retreating German troops always destroyed what they could not carry away, and a factory at Ste Emile lay in ruins. There are also some striking shots of the dry section of the Canal du Nord, showing the size of the obstacle Canadian soldiers had to breach.
Pieces of History
Military Logistics of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914–1919
Michel Litalien
Canadian military logistics is a dimension of the history of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) that is often overlooked. Yet just a few days after Canada's entry into the First World War, it was obvious that there was no way of ignoring it. When huge numbers of military and civilian volunteers showed up at Valcartier, near Quebec City, in August 1914, logistical support services, which had only recently been established, were soon put to the test. Clothing and equipping the members of the first contingent turned out to be a real headache. Manufacturers had to be found and contracts drawn up in a hurry for the production of uniforms, boots, belts, weapons, vehicles and so on. From a logistical standpoint, mobilizing the first contingent destined for Europe was a nightmare.
Throughout the Great War, the Canadian Expeditionary Force's logistical support system was an immense, complex operation. Of all the support services, the Canadian Army Service Corps (CASC) was the most diversified. Its main responsibilities were transporting combat troops, delivering equipment and materials, and providing the troops with fresh supplies. In addition to these essential tasks, the CASC also evacuated the wounded (ambulance drivers belonged to the corps), salvaged equipment that had been captured from the enemy or left behind on the battlefield and delivered mail. The CASC worked closely with the Canadian Ordnance Corps, the Canadian Army Medical Corps, and the Canadian Artillery Corps for the transportation of specialized ordnance.
The CASC operated from seaports located hundreds of kilometres from the battlefield, all the way to just behind the front lines. Its replenishment system could supply not only small groups of just a few men but also formations the size of an infantry battalion (approximately 1,000 men).
Resupplying front-line units was a multistep process. From ports and depots, supplies were first taken by railway to railheads. From there, CASC units were responsible for moving the supplies by truck or light railway to supply dumps. These operations took place in the third line of supply. Thanks to their small size, light railways could run and reach areas closer to the front lines more easily. It was also harder for enemy artillery to pinpoint them. The administrative area behind the front lines was crisscrossed by light rail lines that were built and maintained by Canadian railway troops.
From the supply dumps, the CASC's divisional train and ammunition supply column, both of which were horse-drawn, were responsible for bringing supplies closer to the front lines, to their respective divisions or individual units. This was the second line of supply.
Lastly, operations to supply front-line units constituted the first line of supply. These units had to come back to the rear to get their own supplies of gear, ammunition, weapons, technical and communications equipment, water, medication and food. These supply expeditions were carried out chiefly at night so that the soldiers could not be seen by the enemy. But assigning combat troops to this task meant that a battalion's defensive positions at the front would be short of manpower for a time and so vulnerable to enemy attack.
Toward the end of the war, however, a Canadian officer from Montreal proposed using the tumpline system — the method that Canada's aboriginal people and coureurs de bois had used to carry large loads on foot. Before the introduction of this system, infantryman had to carry supplies in their arms, thus limiting the quantity of materials due to their size and weight. The tumpline system, which involved the use of a head strap, allowed the soldiers to carry more weight and freed up their arms, thus giving them more freedom of movement. With this system, each soldier was able to transport a greater quantity of supplies and so fewer men were required for the job, leaving more troops to ensure the defence of the front lines.
Besides regularly providing drivers and vehicles to other units, the CASC also maintained and repaired its vehicles. It also had to make sure that the troops were fed, which meant that fresh and hard rations had to be allocated and distributed properly; its military cooks oversaw the operation of field bakeries and butcheries.
The CASC was not the only logistical support corps to play a key role in the CEF. The Canadian Ordnance Corps was responsible for procuring, storing and distributing uniforms, boots, equipment, weapons, ammunition and shells to combat troops. Specialized supply depots, located in the second line of supply, helped ensure more effective distribution.
The Canadian Ordnance Corps' other major role was to maintain equipment in the field. The repairmen in the specialized ordnance mobile workshops could get closer to the deployed units and repair their weapons, both light and heavy, as well as their equipment. If the mobile workshops were not able to do the repairs on site, the weapons and equipment were shipped to heavy or stationary workshops at the rear, where virtually anything could be reassembled or rebuilt. The small detachments of the Ordnance Corps worked closely with the various units of the Army Service Corps.
Despite the gradual mechanization of the war, horses remained a vital component of the CEF. The cavalry, the artillery and, of course, the Army Service Corps used huge numbers of horses right up to the end of the war. At one point, Canadians were using as many as 24,000 horses and mules in their overseas operations. Horses could often manage in places where motorized vehicles could make no headway! Inevitably, some horses suffered injuries or fell ill. The Canadian Veterinary Corps operated mobile sections to take care of horses; it also ran veterinary hospitals for horses, advanced remount depots and specialized basic provisions depots.
Other logistical support services also played a crucial role in enabling combat troops to get on with their job. The Canadian Postal Corps, for instance, helped maintain the morale of soldiers at the front, at the rear and also those convalescing in hospitals. Army chaplains, who constituted the smallest organized support group, provided religious services to Canadian soldiers of different faiths and offered moral support at difficult times. Lastly, despite the enemy's efforts to maintain a naval blockade by submarines, the Canadian Forestry Corps ensured that Great Britain, France and the Canadian Expeditionary Force obtained all the timber they needed to carry out their military operations.
Thousands of men served in these various organizations. The Army Service Corps, for example, counted over 17,000 officers and non-commissioned soldiers in its organization. Even if these units were not combat troops, many of them, including the Army Service Corps, played important roles in all military actions. One hundred and four members of the CASC were killed, and 363 were wounded.

The Canal du Nord and Bourlon Wood
On the Corps right, troops of the 10th Brigade, hugging their artillery cover, quickly crossed the canal on a two-battalion front between Inchy and Moeuvres. They overcame resistance from the Canal du Nord Line, and established them selves on Red according to schedule. The 11th and 12th Brigades, leading the 4th Division's attack on the right and left respectively, pushed forward but almost immediately met trouble from the south. Opposing General Watson's formations was the German 187th Infantry Division, with its 188th Infantry Regiment directly west of Bourlon Wood, flanked to north and south respectively by the 186th and 187th Regiments. Farther south was the dismounted 7th Cavalry Division; unused to infantry tactics they were quickly defeated. The 52nd Division, attacking on the Third Army's flank, had not achieved the same initial success as the 4th Division, and as a result the Canadian right suffered many casualties from enfilade fire.
In stiff fighting the 87th Battalion gained an entry into the southern part of Bourlon village by 9:45 a.m., and the 54th, passing through, skirted the north end of Bourlon Wood to reach the far side. The slower advance of the British troops to the south compelled the 102nd Battalion to form a defensive flank beside the Bapaume road and defeated the plan to encircle the wood from the south. This left the 54th in a pronounced salient, suffering mounting casualties. The battalion pushed on towards Fontaine-Notre-Dame, finally coming to a halt about 7:00 p.m. just west of the village, the 75th and 87th Battalions coming up on its left. Farther north the 12th Brigade also had stiff fighting throughout the day. The 85th and 38th Battalions, heavily hit by shelling and machine-gun fire during their advance, cleared their part of the Marquion trench system, allowing the 78th and 72nd Battalions to gain all but the extreme right of its Blue Line objective. It took a fresh attack mounted at 8:00 p.m. by the 78th Battalion to overcome the final pocket of resistance.
In the course of the 4th Division's operations on September 27 two subalterns had won the Victoria Cross. Lieutenant G.T. Lyall of the 102nd Battalion, and Lieutenant S.L. Honey, D.C.M., M.M., 78th Battalion, through their skilful leadership and courage in dealing with German strong points both significantly contributed to the capture of Bourlon Wood. Like many another recognition for brave deeds in the war, Lieutenant Honey's award came posthumously.
On the Corps left the 1st Division's success paid tribute to careful planning and well-directed and determined execution. Two guns of the 1st Battery C.F.A. gave the 1st Brigade a good start by moving in front of Inchy-en-Artois and firing point-blank into enemy positions along the canal. Thus aided, the 4th Battalion, having crossed the dry bed with little difficulty, was able to jump ahead to the north-east and capture its assigned portion of the Marquion Line. Here the 1st Battalion pushed through as planned and secured the Green Line in short order. The 2nd and 3rd Battalions now assumed the lead, only to be stopped by heavy fire from the embanked railway which curved north from Bourlon. With the aid of a timely flanking attack by the 72nd Battalion they overcame this resistance and swept on to the Blue Line. The action of the Commander of the 3rd Battalion's left support company, Lieutenant G.F. Kerr, M.C., M.M., in rushing single-handed a German strongpoint near the Arras-Cambrai road played an important part in the 1st Brigade's advance. Kerr, who captured four machine guns and 31 prisoners, was awarded the Victoria Cross.
The 2nd Brigade's role was to follow the 1st up to the Marquion Line and then extend to the left to capture the central portion of the Blue Line on the divisional front. By two o'clock the 7th Battalion was firm on its objective midway between Marquion and Haynecourt. During the afternoon the 5th Battalion went on to occupy Haynecourt and push patrols almost to the main Cambrai-Douai road. On the left, units of the 11th British Division passed through, headed for Epinoy. By the end of the day (September 27) patrols of the 10th Battalion-which had passed through the 5th just east of Haynecourtwere approaching the Marcoing Line, coming first to a heavy belt of uncut wire covered by enemy machine-guns. With mounting casualties the infantry cut the wire and pushed forward; but confronted by a second wire barrier, which marked the line itself, and with darkness approaching, the battalion consolidated on the east side of the Douai-Cambrai road.
On General Macdonell's left the 3rd Brigade had the important task of driving northward beyond the Canal du Nord and capturing in turn the villages of Sainslez-Marquion and Marquion, thereby freeing the eastern bank to permit crossings by the 11th Division. Leading the 3rd Brigade's advance the 14th Battalion crossed south of Sains-lez-Marquion, and swinging north behind the village, quickly captured its part of the Red Line. Four supporting tanks rendered good service in crushing wire barricades and in mopping up the village, but mechanical difficulties kept them from advancing past the Red Line. From Chapel Corner, south-east of Marquion, the German opposition, which had wavered before the initial rush of the 14th, rallied with heavy fire to stop the 13th Battalion, which was following up the initial assault. It took a joint effort by the 13th and 15th Battalions with tank assistance to clear Marquion. The 15th continued northward across the Arras road, mopping up the area east of the canal. By 2:00 p.m. it was firm at the Blue Line, just south of Sauchy-Lestrée.
Both Canadian divisions had received useful help from the tanks-each being supported by a company (of eight tanks) from the 7th Tank Battalion. The four allotted to each assaulting brigade successfully crossed the dry canal under cover of an artillery smoke-screen. Later they contributed to their own concealment by means of smoke dischargers fitted to their exhausts. During the day they gave good service in crushing wire entanglements and silencing with their fire enemy machine-gun posts. Of the sixteen tanks engaged in the first phase of the operation five fell victim to German fire.
About midday, when the 3rd Infantry Brigade had completed its assigned task of clearing the east bank of the canal, units of the 11th Division crossed at four places between Sains-lez-Marquion and the highway and moved smoothly into place on the left of the 1st Division to start the second phase of the attack. The advance to the north and north-east continued without serious interruption, and by dusk Epinoy and Oisy-le-Verger were in British hands.

Financial Word of the Week: Loan-to-Value
You've probably heard the scary terms "upside down" or "underwater" when it comes to mortgages, especially six years ago‡. That's one way of saying a home's Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio is too high or the value of the home is less than the loan amount. This is another financial number where lower is better.
Calculating your LTV ratio
Take the amount left on your mortgage and divide by the appraised value of your home OR the selling price (whichever is less). For example, if you bought a $225,000 home, but it was appraised for $200,000 and you still owe $175,000, your LTV ratio is 175,000 ÷ 200,000 = 87.5%. Now take that same scenario, but with a positive twist. If you made improvements on your home or the housing market in your area improves, let's say your home is appraised for MORE than what you paid for it, $250,000. So your LTV ratio would now be based on your purchase price (the lesser of appraisal or purchase price) and your LTV would be 175,000 ÷ 225,000 = 77.8%. The ratio has been reduced, and it'll keep going down as you pay more of your loan amount (assuming the value of your home doesn't fall below your purchase price). A good ratio to aim for is 75% or less. The lower your ratio, the less risk for your lender.
Should you refinance?
It's worth consideration, but only after an informative chat with your lender. If you have a high LTV ratio and your home's value has increased, refinancing could be a wise step for you. Plug in a few scenarios in this calculator, and chat with your lender about whether or not refinancing would be positive for you.
Special assistance
If you need even more help and purchased your home before June 1, 2009, you may be eligible for Federal Housing Finance Agency's Home Affordable Refinance (HARP) Program‡. If you think you may be eligible, talk to your lender about refinances with further assistance from that government program.

WhatsApp CEO on Facebook Deal: 'It's About Staying Independent'
What makes Facebook's $19 billion purchase of WhatsApp all the more intriguing is the contrast between the two companies' founders.
Jan Koum, WhatsApp's co-founder and chief executive, has resisted advertising and built a mobile service that makes money from 99-cent subscriptions.
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, meanwhile, has pioneered a new form of online ads targeting users based on their interests and relationships.
These differences have been a continual topic of discussion for the two men as they developed a friendship over the past two years and ultimately negotiated the deal that would make Mr. Koum a multi-billionaire and bring his 55-person startup inside the social network.
In an interview Thursday with The Wall Street Journal — his first since the deal was announced — Mr. Koum said Mr. Zuckerberg's offer to keep WhatsApp operating as a standalone business with no ads was a key turning point in convincing the startup to sell. Rather than be absorbed into Facebook's business, Mr. Koum sees WhatsApp functioning as a separate arm that will help the social network diversify its revenue streams as it grows.
Below are edited excerpts of the interview with Mr. Koum:
WSJ: What have the past 24 hours been like?
Mr. Koum: Pretty amazing. To say that we're excited and humbled at the same time would be an understatement.
Mark [Zuckerberg] stopped by the office yesterday after the announcement. We thought it would be good for him to stop by the office and answer any questions people might have and reassure the team that we will stay independent, we will stay autonomous. He talked about how the last thing we want to do, given how much we have achieved, is get in the way of our growth.
WSJ: You have said repeatedly that you want to build an independent business. How did Mr. Zuckerberg finally change your mind?
Mr. Koum: It was very difficult for him to find a good way that would make us be interested in a conversation. But as we got to know each other, we got to respect each other more and more over the years. Once he made it very clear that they are committed to not make changes to the user experience by introducing ads or cluttering the user experience, it became very interesting for us to have a conversation.
Mark proposed something very interesting two weeks ago, where he positioned it more as a partnership. He positioned it more as WhatsApp will stay completely independent and autonomous.
WSJ: What do you have in common with Mr. Zuckerberg?
Mr. Koum: We have a shared mission of connecting the world and making it more open. Obviously, what we do is communication, which is part of connecting the world. But we also have a very long-term vision. Sometimes we talk about where mobile and communication will be five years from now, 10 years from now. The way he thinks about it is almost the same way that I think about it.
WSJ: Where do you think WhatsApp fits into Facebook's broader plans for growth?
Mr. Koum: Mark deserves a lot of credit for realizing that it's good to have different business models in your company. If you look at firms like General Electric or other large companies, they don't just do one thing, they do many different things to generate sources of revenue. I was actually thinking just earlier today how in the late '90s Porsche only used to make sports cars. Now they make SUVs and sedans and all kinds of different models because it's good to have diversification in your business.
We're actually making this business stronger by bringing in yet another type of revenue stream in the future.
WSJ: You are taking a seat on Facebook's board. Was that your idea or Mr. Zuckerberg's?
Mr. Koum: It was all his idea.
WSJ: Now that you have a board seat, do you want to push for changes at this company and be a voice for protecting privacy and user data?
Mr. Koum: To be fair to Mark, I don't understand a whole lot about Facebook's internal metrics and statistics and how the company works and different ways to generate revenue. I told him that. He still insisted that I join the board and help him with decisions, which is very flattering.
I think I will always have my opinions and philosophy, which I will share with him. But for the next few months or few years my focus will be on WhatsApp.
WSJ: What will determine the success of this deal in the coming years?
Mr. Koum: For us, it's about staying independent. It's about staying autonomous, as was discussed and announced during the deal. And it's also about growing. We still have a mission. We still need to get to a billion users and then we need to get to two billion users. And we won't stop until every single person on the planet has an affordable and reliable way to communicate with their friends and loved ones.

Tummy time — placing a baby on his or her stomach while awake and supervised — can help your baby develop strong head, neck and shoulder muscles and promote certain motor skills. Tummy time can also prevent the back of your baby's head from becoming flat (positional plagiocephaly).
A baby's skull is soft and made up of several movable plates. If a baby's head is left in the same position for long periods of time, the skull plates might move in a way that creates a flat spot. While it's recommended that you place your baby on his or her back to sleep to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), tummy time gives a baby the chance to experience a different position. This can help reduce the risk of flat spots.
Research also suggests that babies who spend time on their tummies crawl on their stomachs earlier than do babies who don't practice tummy time. The more time babies spend on their tummies, the earlier they might begin to roll over, crawl on their stomachs, crawl on all fours and sit without support.
Start by laying your newborn on his or her tummy across your lap two or three times a day for a few minutes. As your baby grows stronger, place him or her on a blanket on the floor after a diaper change or nap. Arrange age-appropriate toys within his or her reach. As your baby gets used to tummy time, place your baby on his or her stomach more frequently or for longer periods of time. For a 3- to 4-month-old baby, some research suggests aiming for at least 20 minutes of tummy time a day.
Remember, however, to never leave your baby unattended during tummy time. If your baby becomes fussy or sleepy during tummy time, change his or her activity or place your baby to sleep on his or her back in the crib.

Tire maker pulls the plug on Anti-hunting group
Tire Maker is On the Road Again with Sportsmen - (05/27) National
Michelin, a leading tire manufacturer, has decided to end its support of a national anti-hunting group after receiving numerous calls from sportsmen.
Michelin told the U.S. Sportsmens Alliance that its sponsorship of the Red Star Emergency Services Division of the American Humane Association (AHA) would end at the conclusion of a bobble head promotion on June 25, 2004.
The U.S. Sportsmens Alliance, a leading sportsmen advocacy organization, and other conservation groups had alerted sportsmen about the issue and urged them to contact the company.
Michelins program involved a $5 donation to the AHA from every Michelin Man bobblehead distributed between May 1 and June 25. The toys sell online and are free with the purchase of new Michelin passenger and light truck tires.
Businesses are often uninformed about the actual agenda of animal rights organizations, said Bud Pidgeon, U.S. Sportsmens Alliance president. Sportsmen contacted Michelin and let the company know that every dollar corporate America provides to fund animal rights groups programs represents money that is made available for campaigns to end hunting and trapping nationwide. To its credit, Michelin has responded to sportsmens concerns and is ending the relationship.
The AHA opposes all hunting and trapping. It has demonstrated this opposition through support for federal legislation to ban black bear hunting using bait and support for state and federal legislation to ban trapping.
Sportsmen should thank Michelin North America for ending its relationship with a national anti-hunting organization by contacting Mr. James Micali, Chairman and President, Michelin North America, Inc., 1 Parkway South, Greenville, SC, 29615. Phone (864) 458-5000. Fax (864) 458-6359. Toll Free (800) 847-3435.

16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
So Ben, with Silva headlining the following cards....
Silva vs Leben, Silva vs Mardquart, Silva vs Irvin, Silva vs Cote, Silva vs Leites, Wilva vs Maia, Silva vs Sonnen, Silva vs Sonnen II, Silva vs Belfort, Silva vs Okami and Silva vs Bonnar.
Would the total number of buys eclipse that of Lesnars..... Of course it would.
Personally don't agree with UFC 100 counting for Lesnar as the GSP vs Alves and Hendo vs Bisping fights meant more.
Silva Vs Leben, Irvin wasn't PPV events.
So a fighter A is a bigger draw because he drew more in 25 fights than fighter B was able to draw in 10 fights?
Take away Leben then... Regardless of number of fights it doesn't get away from the fact he hasn't amassed the most in UFC history, end of story. What you're saying is Joe Bloggs could fight Jane Bloggs and receive 2 million buys, then retire and still be a bigger PPV draw than Jim Bloggs who has 5 fights totalling 3 million buys. Your argument is flawed, he got a shit load yes but isn't the biggest in history.
Anyone else wondering why this argument is still going on or what anyone hopes to achieve from it?
Brock's gone, lets move on people

This is the battery-powered outdoor sconce that provides automatic nighttime illumination whenever it detects movement. A motion sensor built into the bottom of the fixture detects movement from up to 22' away and across a 90� angle, initiating illumination well before people approach the light. Powered by four C batteries (not included), the light mounts anywhere on a house with the included bracket and hardware while eliminating the need for hardwiring and proximity to a power outlet. Dual LEDs generate bright white light, they remain illuminated for 20 seconds after the sensor detects motion, and they have two adjustable brightness settings. Made from weatherproof metal and plastic with durable glass panels, the sconce provides year-round reliable illumination. Batteries provide up to one year of power and the LEDs last 30,000 hours. Includes one light. 12 1/2" H x 7" W x 6" D. (3 1/4 lbs.)

Cordless Motion Acitvated outdoor Source
By Fisherman
from metro Kansas City, MO
The design is good, however it needs to be a brighter light. I have it on 100%, but it needs to be brighter. The areaa that it covers is not very good.

Excellent buy
By Mark
from Port Coquitlam, B.C , Canada
Have installed 2 by my garage door, easy install and they look great. I previously bought other battery powered motion lights for other areas of the house from Hammcher Schlemmer, and just recently changed the batteries which lasted over one year!! Excellent longevity.I would totally recommend these products to my friends, who don't want to run the expense of wires, to illuminate areas adequately with battery powered devices.Great buy, Great price, one happy customer
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

David Halat, a junior in chemistry and mathematics, is the 54th MSU student to win the nation's premier scholarship for undergraduates studying math, natural sciences and engineering since the Goldwater Foundation was established in 1986. Keeping MSU one of the nation's top institutions for Goldwater recipients, Halat's scholarship gives him up to $7,500 a year for tuition, fees, books, and room and board.
"I've had so much homework that I haven't had a chance to celebrate, but it's really exciting," Halat said shortly after learning about his scholarship.
Three MSU students also won honorable mentions this year. They were Brian Redman of Crane, electrical engineering; Bryan Vadheim of Miles City, chemical engineering and economics; and chemistry major Nels Gerstner of Fort Collins, Colo. Among other institutions that won 2012 Goldwaters were Yale University with three, Harvard University with two and Princeton University with two.
"David Halat is a truly gifted and motivated student who has excelled in chemistry and mathematics at the very highest level. All three of our Goldwater honorable mentions are also inspirational and have made significant contributions to their disciplines, even as undergraduates," said Ilse-Mari Lee, director of the MSU Honors Program and administrator of the Goldwater Scholarship program at MSU.
"It is important to note that the achievements of these students have been made possible by dedicated MSU faculty mentors, who have launched and supported these students along their way," Lee added.
Halat - the son of Mike and Barbara Halat - said he has been interested in chemistry since he was a boy. His father is a chemist, so the two have talked chemistry for years. When he told his parents he won a Goldwater, "They were very excited, probably more excited than me," he said. "It hasn't really sunk in yet."
Halat said he knew when he enrolled at MSU that he planned to major in chemistry. He likes chemistry because, "Everything we touch or interact with on a daily basis involves some sort of chemical phenomenon."
He decided to add a second major after taking higher level math courses at MSU and realizing that he enjoyed the integration of chemistry and mathematics, Halat said. Majoring in mathematics also allowed him to enter the national Putnam Math Competition in 2010 and 2011. He achieved MSU's highest individual result both years, and one of his team members was Casey Donoven of Kremlin, a 2011 Goldwater recipient. Donoven, as well as Lee, encouraged him to apply for the Goldwater, Halat said.
Halat plans to attend graduate school in chemistry and then teach or lead a research team at a university. Already involved in research as an undergraduate, he works in professor Robert Walker's chemistry lab and studies the high-temperature surface chemistry that takes place on solid oxide fuel cells. He conducts his research with a grant from MSU's Undergraduate Scholars Program and will present his results during MSU's Student Research Celebration on Thursday, April 19. He also presented his research last August at the Optical Science and Engineering Conference held at MSU.
Counting Halat and Gerstner, MSU's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in the College of Letters and Science had impressive candidates this year. Redman and Vadheim are both in the College of Engineering.
"I'm very proud of all of these students, both in chemistry and in engineering. What they have each accomplished is nothing less than stellar," said Robert Marley, dean of the College of Engineering. "I certainly know Brian and Bryan are terrific young men and the projects they are working on are quite impressive. Of course I'm equally proud of what this recognition says about the quality and commitment of our faculty and the opportunities they provide students at MSU."
Bern Kohler, professor and interim head of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, said, "I am thrilled that David Halat and Nels Gerstner have received these top national honors for undergraduate mathematics, science, and engineering students. It speaks very highly of their academic talents and of the dedicated faculty mentors they have worked with."
Four out of the past eight MSU Goldwater winners have been from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Other recent winners have been from physics, mechanical engineering, mathematics and earth sciences/paleontology.
"I believe that Chemistry and Biochemistry majors have enjoyed so much success in the Goldwater competition because of our commitment as a department to providing world-class research opportunities to undergraduates," Kohler continued. "All majors are required to participate in research. This requirement brings every major in our department -- every one -- into laboratories where they work side by side with doctoral students and other scientists on frontier research problems funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies. From their very first year, our majors learn of our high expectations for them in research."
Since 2004, when MSU implemented a new core curriculum, CORE 2.0, every undergraduate participates in a research or creative experience. Some of those experiences are financed by MSU's research enterprise, which in fiscal year 2011 had $102.7 million in expenditures, mostly from federal grants. Thanks to MSU research activity, the university was able to provide $9.8 million in undergraduate and graduate salaries, benefits, scholarships and fellowships in fiscal year 2011.
"The ability to get into a laboratory and work with an internationally renowned faculty member is a big reason why the number of our majors has increased 250 percent over the past decade," Kohler said. "It is a wonderful reminder that research does not come at the expense of undergraduate education. Instead, our undergraduates understand that research is what science education is all about in the 21st century."

ARMED forces personnel in Gloucestershire, and their families, have had their profile raised with the signing of a community covenant.
Imjin Barracks in Innsworth hosted Gloucestershire's Armed Forces Community Covenant Seminar on Tuesday, January 7which means they have joined an already extensive list of organisations committed to supporting the military in their region.
The covenant is a voluntary statement of mutual support between a civilian community and its local armed forces community, including in-service and ex-service personnel, their families and widows or widowers in Gloucestershire.
Close to 150 participants attended the event, which included several different presentations focussed on the military's presence in the Gloucestershire community, as well as an the opportunity to ask a panel of military representatives their questions about the area's military.
Gloucestershire County Council Leader, Cllr Mark Hawthorne, was in attendance and said the council was proud to support the armed forces.
"We are very grateful for the sacrifices our servicemen and women. The military covenant is about making sure that they don't lose out on the things we all take for granted as a result of that service," he said.
"We believe it will make a big difference for service personnel and their families, who are a key part of our Gloucestershire community."

Maybe you have to "up" the adapter:
Also, check if wicd is set to use wlan0 as the wireless device, under preferences.Code:ifconfig wlan0 up
I was able to figure this crap out last year when i was screwing with this. My issues last time came down to ndiwrapper.
Any event.
I've got a dell studio i'm working with now. Win7 with Wmware workstation and BT4.
I can gain interent access through the bridged onboard adapter.
My issue is getting the alfa awus036H up and going which is a USB attached adapter.
I was able to attach the Realtek through the USB icon to the virtual host. Though BT4 identifeis it in the lower corner there are no lights on the adapter working.
When i run Wcid only the bridged adapter shows up and doesn't reconize the wireless network.
When i run iwconfig I can see the wlan0 adapter.
But when I run iwconfig -a it identifies nothing there.
So I can see the attached USB in the lower corner and it blinks but the adapter is doing nothing. No green light on the adapter.
So What am I missing here?
Maybe you have to "up" the adapter:
Also, check if wicd is set to use wlan0 as the wireless device, under preferences.Code:ifconfig wlan0 up
yeah and the lights on the alfa usually don't go on when its being used my a linux os... at least not yet.
keep us posted and don't mess with the drivers the ones for the realtech come pre configured in bt4
Wielder of the spoon of doom
Summercon, Toorcon, Defcon, Bsides, Derbycon, Shmoocon oh my
Come hang out with hackers on twitter @gunrunr556
After extensive hair pulling I found it came down to something really dumb.
I unplugged and replugged the Alfa while in WMware and everything popped up.
So it seemed that while we perform the /etc/init.d/networking start command on boot up. That after I entered in BT4 and the USB adapter was reconized in teh bottom corner that it still required to be unplugged and replugged and then everything pops up. Still trying to figure out the reasoning but at least i can see traffic.

With less than 100 days left in his term, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is making one last big push on two of his signature proposals - privatizing operations at the Convention Center and the Los Angeles Zoo.
The city's unions, meantime, oppose the proposals and know time is on their side. They are trying simply to delay the matters until after July 1, when a new mayor and City Council will be sworn in.
The mayor's plans, which he has worked on for the last year and a half, call for privatizing management at the Convention Center and then turning over marketing of the Zoo to the private nonprofit Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association in a public-private partnership. He argues that the Convention Center would benefit from an improved marketing effort by a private firm and a city report last year estimated the savings at $14 million to $37 million over five years.
Villaraigosa spokesman Peter Sanders said the mayor recognizes the Zoo might not be done by July 1, but he remains hopeful the city will move ahead with plans to increase the role of GLAZA to take over special events, advertising and marketing. An earlier proposal to have GLAZA run the entire Zoo has been dropped because of a City Attorney's Office opinion blocking the deal.
"These are areas the Zoo has not had adequate budget to address to the degree everyone would like over the last several years," Sanders said. "Partnering with GLAZA on these tasks will bring financial resources the Zoo wouldn't otherwise have access to in the pursuit of the desirable goals of attracting more visitors to the Zoo and raising revenues."
GLAZA Co-chair Richard Lichtenstein said taking over the marketing and advertising will enhance the Zoo and bring in more money for the city.
"The marketing and advertising opportunity is an important step and one we believe will drive attendance," Lichtenstein said. 'If you drive attendance, you bring in more concessions and more money for the Zoo to operate."
But Ian Thompson, spokesman for SEIU 721, said the union remains opposed to both proposals.
"We agree the Zoo needs to move forward and we have proposed a program to increase the marketing budget, but keep it in public control," Thompson said. "It is a public asset that we believe needs to stay public and not handed over to a private company."
Thompson said the City Attorney's Office is reviewing the proposals and he hopes it will side with the union viewpoint. Last year, the City Attorney blocked a complete GLAZA takeover by saying city employees could not be managed by a private firm.
As for the Convention Center, Sanders said they hope to have a decision in May. Three proposals have been submitted to the city, including one from AEG, owner of the LA Live facility around the Convention Center.
AEG is also pushing to build a football stadium downtown and has included in its proposal a plan to expand the Convention Center. But city officials are getting impatient; with no NFL team looking to relocate to Los Angeles for now, the city is looking to move ahead with the expansion on its own.
So far, neither issue has become a major debating point in the mayor's race.
Eric Garcetti spokesman Yusef Robb said the councilman opposes the plan for the Los Angeles Zoo, but does support the Convention Center proposal.
"This would save taxpayers millions of dollars and the plan to bring in new management to attract more and larger events, will create jobs and boost our economy through restaurant, hotel and other spending by convention-goers," Robb said.
However, he does not believe a case has been made to privatize any aspect of the Zoo.
"Many privatization models could result n much higher admission costs," Robb said. "Eric believes the Zoo is an important resource that should be as accessible as possible."
Controller Wendy Greuel agreed with the mayor's proposal for the Convention Center as well, but wants to have further study about changes at the Zoo.
"She is focused on making sure the city is operating as efficiently as possible," spokeswoman Shannon Murphy said. "That means getting the most bang for our buck and maximizing the value of our assets.
"Wendy has advocated for making sure that the Los Angeles Convention Center is one of the crown jewels that powers our economy and drives tourists to the city. Yet our convention business still lags behind other cities."
Greuel will support modernization of the facility as well as seeking more hotels."
As far as the Zoo is concerned, Murphy said Greuel believes there can be improved operations, but she wants to explore all possible changes.

Studio responds to airbrushing claims in Britney Spears video
Listen to Britney Spears on iHeartRadio
Go call the po-lice! Go call the governor!
It looks like Britney Spears may have had some digital help to achieve the bikini body she shows off in her video for "Work Bitch."
The visual effects studio that created the video, HOAX Films, has unveiled several before-and-after images, after speculation about airbrushing of the star's body started buzzing online.
The studio also released a statement saying that it "completed sky replacements shots, set extensions and cleanup" for the video, without specifying whether or not they altered Britney's body. But "E! News" notes that the singer's stomach and legs appear to be slimmer and more toned in all of the "after" shots presented by the company.
Britney's video has garnered more than 28 million YouTube hits since its October 1st release, and has helped give the track a boost to number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Concrete industry professionals who join the 3rd Annual World of Concrete Editorial Tour this year will have a behind-the-scenes look at the highway project that is literally changing the face of one of our country's most well-known historical landmarks—Hoover Dam.
The Hoover Dam Bypass Tour will take visitors off the paved road for a unique view of the Colorado River Bridge being built about 1500 feet downstream of the dam.
A representative of Obayashi/JSM, the general contractor, will give a project update and answer questions. Representatives from Sika Corp., the tour's sponsor, will provide information about the concrete admixtures used in the project.
We will also tour the Hoover Dam Visitor Center, the power plant inside the dam, and the observation deck. Attendees will see a special presentation of the history of the dam's construction in the 1930s.
World of Concrete attendees can join the tour on two different days: 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 20, or 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 25. All who attend will receive a box lunch and a commemorative hard hat. Buses will leave from and return to the Central Hall Door 9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The tours fill up early, so visit www.worldofconcrete.com to register. The cost is $80 per person until Dec. 20; and $85 afterward.
A View From the Top
During a construction slowdown, expert advice isn't just helpful—it's critical for producers who want to keep their businesses going strong. This year, a group of top economic and industry analysts will share their expertise during the Economic Summit.
Speakers will talk about the ups and downs they anticipate in the coming year, and what producers need to do to survive them. Attendees will benefit from this "big picture" view of the industry, with unique insights from many different angles. Topics will range from a general economic forecast to details about specific materials and equipment availability.
This luncheon will be an important event for anyone involved in business planning or purchasing, as well as producers who want to start the year with a competitive advantage. It will be held from noon to 2 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 22, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Allen Villere Partners is the event's sponsor.
The cost, including lunch, is $75 per person until Dec. 20; $125 afterward. To register, visit www.worldofconcrete.com.
Challenging Event
In the midst of seminars and booth visits, remember to keep the Producers' Challenge on your schedule. Mack Trucks' Driving Skills Challenge and the John Deere Load America competition will transform the Orange and Gold lots, respectively, between the Central and South halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center, into an exciting exhibition of driver skills from Tuesday, Jan. 22 through Thursday, Jan. 24.
Mack Trucks' Driving Skills Challenge invites ready-mix truck drivers to navigate through a course of simulated situations they would encounter on a job. Drivers can show their expertise by maneuvering through parallel parking, tight turns, and stopping on a dime (or at least a painted line).
Front-end loader operators will have the same opportunity to prove their skills in the John Deere Load America competition. Drivers receive scores for their abilities to back up, park, and move various objects with precision. Some of the most expert four-wheel drive loader operators in the industry will compete for prizes each day.
For more details about these events, visit the sponsors' booths at the show. John Deere: C6269 and Mack: C5469.
Women in Concrete Luncheon and Forum
The annual Women in Concrete Luncheon and Forum, co-hosted by CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION and THE CONCRETE PRODUCER, is a two-hour program that brings together women working in all segments of the concrete construction industry. It provides a unique opportunity to connect with peers and gain insights into the challenges specific to women in the industry.
This year, the program consists of a panel of women discussing some hot industry trends. How is green concrete going to affect how you do business? Will pervious concrete be a part of your business?
The discussion will be followed by an open question period. The Women in Concrete Luncheon and Forum takes place noon to 2 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 23. Cost is $50 for advance registration; $75 after Dec. 20. Register at www.worldofconcrete.com. The event has sold out for two consecutive years.

Direct to Europe
Cleveland (AP) - The Port of Cleveland plans to offer direct, scheduled freight shipping to ports in northern Europe starting in April.
Port leaders say the plan announced this week would provide the only scheduled international container service on the great lakes.
They say the monthly service, via the saint lawrence seaway, means businesses in the region will be able to ship goods faster and save money by skipping east coast stops.
They estimate the service will annually haul hundreds of tons of cargo, such as industrial and consumer products and automotive equipment.
The plan is for an Amsterdam-based company, the Spliethoff Group, to manage the service and provide the ships. The Port of Cleveland wouldn't subsidize the service or invest capital under the deal, which hasn't been finalized.

I like making elaborate sensory tubs especially for my son since he is getting older and needs ones with specific tasks ( like finding letters, words or sorting objects in them) but a true basic sensory bin is an amazing educational tool. My toddler is just getting to the perfect age for this at 16 months. Exploring the small hard filler, using a spoon and scoop to transfer the grains from one spot to the next and practicing things like sharing with me as we play. Please don't feel like you need to have all the bells and whistles because for toddlers it's best to keep it simple and let them discover.
- Gather your materials. For this tub I bought some popcorn, barley and dried beans. Total cost for the grains was $2.34. The pumpkins were bought at a patch for $1 for 2 and the spoons and scoop are from my kitchen. The tub was under $2 and I reuse it by putting the filler from previous tubs into ziplocks and storing to re-use. We had a canning funnel to play with but all she wasnted to do was this which was cute but we moved it to the side so we could get down to digging.
- A tip when doing a sensory bin with small grains and a small child. Do it on carpet, if a spill does happen it won't scatter. You can easily vacuum it up.
- Also I am asked all the time how I deal with my daughter putting the beans and grains in her mouth. She doesn't generally but that is why I use such small grains , they will taste gross if she tried to chew them but they are so small they pose a very small risk of being a chocking hazard. Still stay within arms reach at all times. I used our coffee table ( which is technically a bench) and sat on the opposite side the while time the tub was within her reach. If your child is not ready for these try this one we made last year
- Practice scooping , pouring, talk about the colors of the spoons. Today I think we may have learnt which spoon is yellow and which is orange … I think. I do know we practiced sharing the spoons back and forth accross the table.
- I found this interesting, she is cleaning up some of the grains that spilled out. Not something her brother was interested in at her age.
We played with this simple sensory tub for much of the time we had between lunch and picking her brother up from school. Simple, fun and educational.

Sheer audacity is at times the surest steed a man can bestride.

But there was one great man who was in both sections, a painter and a poet, who may be said to bestride the chasm like a giant.

To bestride is to stand over anything with one foot on each side.

LL880094: P3 AFS P Keychain-Size LED Flashlight
LED Lenser
Is it even possible? Less than two ounces and 75 brilliant lumens? Yes and yes. This little keychain light runs on only one AAA battery and is just over three inches. With focusing options for long-distance, up-close and all points in between, this little powerhouse may just be the final word in compact lighting.
Advanced Focus System
The Advanced Focus System (AFS) is the patented combination of a reflector AND lens to create a light system that provides both a focused beam for long-distance and a homogenous spill-beam for up-close reading.
Traditionally light-focusing systems have consisted of either a lens, or a reflector. Lenses have the advantage of emitting a homogenous light pattern for distances almost 70% of the light is scattered and lost.
Conversely, while reflectors do a better job of capturing a higher percentage of light for long-distances, when they are used for up-close reading scattered light causes "rings" and "holes" in the light pattern leading to eye fatigue.
In both these cases, the lumen count (brightness) loses its validity as light is misdirected and wasted. That's why we decided to try something different.
If you pull together the strengths of the lens and reflector into one combined system, you achieve clear, homogeneous light spill for up-close reading and a sharply-focused beam for long-distance viewing.
This is exactly what we've done with the Advanced Focus System (AFS); a unique and patented lens/reflector optic. AFS means reading the map up-close is easy on the eyes and then focusing to find the path or landmark in the distance, clear and bright.
Rapid Focus
With our Rapid Focus system you can go from reading to searching by using the thumb on your holding hand to simply slide the bezel away from you. One hand, one movement, seamless transition from close to far and all points in between.
Fiddling with the light bezel to focus and de-focus is a hassle. If you loosen it too much the light goes off, not enough and you're starting over. Worst of all the speed of acting or reacting is doubled when you have to use two hands.
With our Rapid Focus system you can go from reading to searching by using the thumb on your holding hand to simply slide the bezel away from you. One hand, one movement, seamless transition from close to far and all points in between.
Some projects call for the circuit breaker to be off; others for a little crawling in tight places. Other still where inspection into a unit you're about to install is necessary. Whatever the project, and wherever your equipment in the recesses of the garage, LED Lenser lights are perfect for shedding some light on the whole affair. And yes, DIY refers to grilling at night too. After all, they are "your" burgers.
Whether it's a backcountry adventure or backyard camping, there's one equipment-basic everyone can agree on: a powerful, reliable, LED light. Reading in the tent, checking the map, scoping out the trail, or finding the privy; when you're camping, light is key. LED Lenser has powerful headlamps so you're hands-free to set up the tent, or compact, lightweight handhelds for digging in the cooler or recesses of your pack.

The mandolin has felt like the secret weapon of pop music for a long time. Though you'd be right to think of it as country and folk music instrument, you may be surprised to learn that artists from Rod Stewart to Primal Scream have made use of the mandolin on some of their most popular singles. The mandolin remains a sought after instrument because of its unique and captivating sound, and with the right set of mandolin strings, you can capture that sound for your next jam or studio session. The first thing to note when purchasing mandolin strings is how many strings come in the package you're looking at. If you have an eight string mandolin, a pack of six strings will not do you much good. Having the right number of strings is crucial when you're tuning up your instrument. Once you know how many strings you need, your options become more about personal preference. There are no "good" strings or "bad" strings, just different types that produce different sounds. In the end, the strings you choose will be the ones that sound best to your ears. If you're looking for a bright sounding string, you'll want to check out something like the D'Addario J74 Phosphor Bronze Medium Mandolin Strings, whereas if you want a heavier bass sound, you'd want to try the Elixir Medium Nanoweb Mandolin Strings. Different strings complement different styles of play, so if you're actively gigging or doing session work, it may be wise to have a few different types of strings on hand. Much like material, the gauge of your strings will also play an important role in the overall sound they produce. Lighter strings, such as the D'Addario J73 Phosphor Bronze Light Mandolin Strings, are very flexible, but heavier strings like the John Pearse 2200H Heavy Gauge Strings offer greater sustain. Finding the balance that works best for you is a must when searching for new strings. With such a wide variety of options available that you'll have no problem finding the mandolin strings that are right for you. Once you find the exact sound you're looking for, you'll be strumming away on everything from Maggie May to Copperhead Road in no time.

During a test flight last year off the Pacific coast of Latin America, an aerial drone launched from the USS McInerney relayed back to the ship video of an open skiff speeding across the water. The frigate's crew had long experience chasing drug smugglers, so they knew what they were seeing. The skiff was 20 miles ahead of the frigate and moving away as the sun went down. In the flight control room, operators instructed the drone to take up the chase.
From This Story
Related Content
Over the next three hours, the skiff stopped twice and shut down its engine—standard practice among smugglers listening for law enforcement aircraft. The drone, a 23-foot-long helicopter trailing a mile or two behind, was quiet enough to evade detection. It also had the range to keep up the pursuit when a manned helicopter, roughly twice its size, would have had to turn back and refuel. By the time the skiff made its rendezvous with a fishing boat under cover of darkness, the McInerney was on its tail. A flare went up as a boarding party moved in. The startled suspects began dumping contraband, but 132 pounds of cocaine was recovered when the smugglers were arrested.
Until now, drone aircraft have been confined largely to war zones—most recently in Libya—and they have become controversial for killing civilians along with insurgents. But critics and boosters alike say unmanned aircraft will increasingly be used for peacetime work. They disagree about the likely scale of the industry, but the Federal Aviation Administration is already considering new rules and training staffers to adjust to unmanned aircraft in U.S. airspace. "It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when," says Peter Singer, an analyst with the Brookings Institution. "Is it going to be 2012 or 2014? The point is, it's going to happen."
In fact, it's happening now. Unarmed versions of the military Predator drone already patrol thinly populated stretches of the nation's borders. Predators have also been flown over cities to assess damage after hurricanes, floods and earthquakes.When smoke grounded other aircraft during a 2009 forest fire in Circle, Alaska, a drone provided infrared imagery that allowed officials to determine that no evacuation was necessary. And during the accident this spring at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the world's largest drone analyzed the emergency from high altitude, while a backpack-size drone inspected the crippled reactors at close quarters.
Drones will probably move first into jobs deemed "too dull, dirty or dangerous" for humans, says MIT automation expert Mary "Missy" Cummings. To monitor marine mammal populations off Alaska, for instance, oil companies have employed small manned aircraft flying at 300 feet, 200 miles offshore, in icy conditions. But a drone operated by the University of Alaska at Fairbanks recently did the job quietly enough not to scare off the animals. Police agencies are also lobbying for permission to use drones for building searches in hostage situations and for traffic management. With no need to carry people, drones designed for such work come in all sizes and shapes. Some look like a flying engine cowling (minus the rest of the plane) or a laptop with tail fins. Some are as big as a 737; others have the heft, and flapping wings, of a sparrow.
Some drones also look like conventional aircraft, and Cummings believes unmanned systems will ultimately replace even commercial pilots. She first saw the possibilities in the 1990s as a Navy pilot landing a highly automated F-18. "On carrier landings, it always did better than humans," she says. At some airports today, Cummings notes, Boeing and Airbus jets take off, land and brake to a stop without human hands on the controls. She predicts that within ten years cargo planes will fly without human pilots and that passenger jets will ultimately follow.
First, though, somebody will need to work out some glitches: a few months after that drug bust at sea, Navy operators in Maryland experienced a "lost link"—like losing your wireless connection—with the same model drone, a Northrop Grumman Fire Scout, as it was traveling at 70 miles an hour straight toward Washington, D.C. The drone briefly entered restricted air space (within 40 miles of the capital). Military officers contemplated shooting down the 3,000-pound robotic helicopter over a heavily populated metropolis. But before anyone could scramble the F-16 fighter jets, technicians on the ground regained control and turned the drone back to base.
A good place to watch the developing drone revolution, with all its technological, commercial and ethical complications, is an hour east of Portland, Oregon, in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, an area otherwise known for windsurfing, craft beer and political progressivism. Go almost anywhere on either side of the river—to an old school building in Bingen, Washington, say, or a former Chevy dealership in Hood River, Oregon—and you will find somebody working on drones.
The aeronautical engineer who got the industry started here is a boyish, reclusive character in his mid-50s with the perfect garage-inventor name, Tad McGeer. He runs the Aerovel Corporation, a start-up with nine employees, tucked behind a dense wall of pine trees in the rugged hills above Bingen. The entrance is a narrow gravel driveway with a broken-down gate. A wrecked Cessna sits in a derelict barn, and cars cluster around a big, blocky house at the end of a hayfield.
Inside, a staffer fabricates plane parts in what was once a child's bedroom, where the electronic controls for a coffin-like industrial oven now sit on a dresser decorated with beetles and snails. Aerovel's mechanical engineering laboratory occupies another bedroom, with horses and hearts painted on the walls. Test engines roar in the garages at either end of the house, and if it all looks a little makeshift, that suits McGeer just fine.

Cushing syndromeHypercortisolism
Cushing syndrome is a disorder that occurs when your body is exposed to high levels of the hormone cortisol. It may also occur if you take too much cortisol or other steroid hormones.
See also: Cushing's disease (pituitary Cushing's)
Cushing syndrome may be caused by taking too much corticosteroid medications, such as prednisone and prednisolone. These drugs are used to treat conditions such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.
Other people develop Cushing syndrome because their bodies produce too much cortisol, a hormone normally made in the adrenal gland. Causes of too much cortisol are:
- Cushing's disease, when the pituitary gland makes too much of the hormone ACTH. ACTH then signals the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. Tumor of the pituitary gland may cause this condition.
- Tumor of the adrenal gland
- Tumor elsewhere in the body that produces cortisol
- Tumors elsewhere in the body that produce ACTH (such as the pancreas, lung, and thyroid)
Most people with Cushing syndrome will have:
- Upper body obesity (above the waist) and thin arms and legs
- Round, red, full face (moon face)
- Slow growth rate in children
Skin changes that are often seen:
- Acne or skin infections
- Purple marks (1/2 inch or more wide) called striae on the skin of the abdomen, thighs, and breasts
- Thin skin with easy bruising
Muscle and bone changes include:
- Backache, which occurs with routine activities
- Bone pain or tenderness
- Collection of fat between the shoulders (buffalo hump)
- Rib and spine fractures (caused by thinning of the bones)
- Weak muscles
Women with Cushing syndrome often have:
- Excess hair growth on the face, neck, chest, abdomen, and thighs
- Menstrual cycle that becomes irregular or stops
Men may have:
- Decreased or no desire for sex
- Impotence
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
- Mental changes, such as depression, anxiety, or changes in behavior
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Increased thirst and urination
Exams and Tests
Blood sugar and white blood cell counts may be high. Potassium level may be low.
Laboratory tests that may be done to diagnose Cushing syndrome and identify the cause are:
- Serum cortisol levels
- Salivary cortisol levels
- Dexamethasone suppression test
- 24-hour urine for cortisol and creatinine
- ACTH level
- ACTH (cosyntropin) stimulation test
Tests to determine the cause or complications may include:
- Abdominal CT
- ACTH test
- Pituitary MRI
- Bone density, as measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
High cholesterol, including high triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) may also be present.
Treatment depends on the cause.
Cushing syndrome caused by corticosteroid use:
- Slowly decrease the drug dose (if possible) under medical supervision.
- If you cannot stop taking the medication because of disease, your high blood sugar, high cholesterol levels, and bone thinning or osteoporosis should be closely monitored.
Cushing syndrome caused by a pituitary or a tumor that releases ACTH (Cushing's disease):
- Surgery to remove the tumor
- Radiation after removal of a pituitary tumor (in some cases)
- You may need hydrocortisone (cortisol) replacement therapy after surgery, and possibly continued throughout your life
Cushing syndrome due to an adrenal tumor or other tumors:
- Surgery to remove the tumor
- If the tumor cannot be removed, medications to help block the release of cortisol
Outlook (Prognosis)
Removing the tumor may lead to full recovery, but there is a chance that the condition will return.
Survival for people with ectopic tumors depends on the tumor type. Untreated, Cushing syndrome can be life-threatening.
Possible Complications
- Diabetes
- Enlargement of pituitary tumor
- Fractures due to osteoporosis
- High blood pressure
- Kidney stones
- Serious infections
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Cushing syndrome.

8 Easy & Delicious Mother's Day Brunch Recipes
We hit the streets of NYC to ask moms what they really wanted for mother's daythis year, and the overwhelming response was flowers and some quality family time.
We hit the streets of NYC to ask moms what they really wanted for mother's daythis year, and the overwhelming response was flowers and some quality family time.
A family brunch on Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to sit down with mom, give her those gorgeous flowers and handmade cards, but also gift her with something even more special - a fuss-free family meal she doesn't have to do anything for but show up!
Rather than piling plates high with scrambled eggs and bacon, consider one of these brunch recipes. Mother's Day is a special day, honoring a very special woman and deserving of a special menu. There's also a good chance you'll have a bigger crowd sitting down, and these recipes keep feeding larger tables simple.
French toast is a family favorite, but it's also a task and a half to get it prepped for a big gathering. Instead, consider a French toast casserole like this one.
The kids may a bit hesitant to eat asparagus when you plop it down on a plate for dinner, but we're betting they'll love this asparagus tart recipe as much as you will thanks to the cheese it's coated with and pastry it lies on.
Strata may sound fancy, but all it is is a layered casserole. This ham and cheese one is a favorite of ours and adds a touch of color and sophistication to the table.
If you insist on eating bacon, eggs and toast at this brunch, at least get creative with how you serve it! We love this bacon and egg in a toast cup idea for it's simple prep, quick cook time and layered flavors.
Cheesy and chock full of sausage this casserole is our heartiest. Dads will appreciate this brunch recipe as much as mom.
While your brunch bakes in the oven, keep your family happy with light finger sandwiches. These cucumber and radish ones are perfect for the late spring holiday, but we've got lots of other combos to choose from.
Pancakes are great for three reasons - everyone loves them, the topping ideas are endless and they can be kept warm so you can sit down and eat with everyone. These classic buttermilk pancakes with peanut butter and chocolate chips are our faves.
We're going out with a bang with this Mother's Day recipe! Apple pie waffles will ensure mom knows just how loved she is and Contributor Krissy Winnick makes it easier to whip these up than you'd think.
See how Dawn Sandomeno and Elizabeth Mascali elevate the every day with their fantastic recipes and ideas!Read More »

Dollar Stores Pick Up Where Walmart Lags
Dollar stores are coming out ahead as Wal-Mart stumbles.
Wal-Mart is suffering from slow sales and too much inventory, they're cutting back on orders for the rest of the year, and they've downgraded their revenue predictions. But as the economic recovery continues to be slow, dollar stores appear to be picking up the slack.
Dollar Tree, Dollar General and Family Dollar are taking advantage of a change in shopping habits where people are typically buying seven or fewer items at a time.
The lower-volume retailers are also improving their offerings and are adding more big brand names to their shelves.
