Evaluation of C-reactive protein, Haptoglobin and cardiac troponin 1 levels in brachycephalic dogs with upper airway obstructive syndrome
Brachycephalic dogs have unique upper respiratory anatomy with abnormal breathing patterns similar to those in humans with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between anatomical components, clinical signs and several biomarkers, used to determine systemic inflammation and myocardial damage (C-reactive protein, CRP; Haptoglobin, Hp; cardiac troponin I, cTnI), in dogs with brachycephalic upper airway obstructive syndrome (BAOS).
Fifty brachycephalic dogs were included in the study and the following information was studied: signalment, clinical signs, thoracic radiographs, blood work, ECG, components of BAOS, and CRP, Hp and cTnI levels. A high proportion of dogs with BAOS (88%) had gastrointestinal signs. The prevalence of anatomic components of BAOS was: elongated soft palate (100%), stenotic nares (96%), everted laryngeal saccules (32%) and tracheal hypoplasia (29.1%). Increased serum levels of biomarkers were found in a variable proportion of dogs: 14% (7/50) had values of CRP > 20 mg/L, 22.9% (11/48) had values of Hp > 3 g/L and 47.8% (22/46) had levels of cTnI > 0.05 ng/dl. Dogs with everted laryngeal saccules had more severe respiratory signs (p<0.02) and higher values of CRP (p<0.044). No other statistical association between biomarkers levels and severity of clinical signs was found.
According to the low percentage of patients with elevated levels of CRP and Hp, BAOS does not seem to cause an evident systemic inflammatory status. Some degree of myocardial damage may occur in dogs with BAOS that can be detected by cTnI concentration.
Brachycephalic upper airway obstructive syndrome (BAOS) is a combination of nasal and oropharyngeal anatomic abnormalities resulting from selective breeding to reduce the length of the maxilla without concurrent reduction in the soft tissue of the nose, palate, and pharynx
Inflammation is the characteristic trait of the pathophysiology of OSAS and represents a pathway linking human OSAS patients with increased cardiovascular morbidity
Some epidemiological studies have linked high haptoglobin (Hp) levels with a greater incidence of myocardial infarct
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and T (cTnT) are definitive biomarkers for detection of myocardial injury in human patients
Even though human OSAS is not equal to canine BAOS, similarities exist. On the other hand, dogs with BAOS present clinical abnormalities (chronic hypoxia, gastrointestinal signs and subclinical heatstroke) that make it worthy to rule out the presence of systemic inflammation and myocardial damages.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between anatomical components, clinical signs and several biomarkers, used to determine systemic inflammation and myocardial damage (CRP, Hp, cTnI), in dogs with BAOS.
Epidemiological data
Male dogs were over-represented in the study since 30 males (two neutered) and 20 females (four neutered) were evaluated. The median age was 2.5 years old (range 1–10 years old). Thirty-eight dogs (76%) were less than three years old. All were purebred: French bulldogs were the commonest breed studied and accounted for 29 of the 50 cases (58%), while other breeds evaluated included English bulldogs (n = 8, 16%), Pug (n = 12, 24%) and Shih-tzu (n = 1, 2%).
Clinical signs
All dogs had some kind of respiratory signs (Table
Electrocardiograms (ECG) were recorded previously to upper airway (UA) inspection and the presence of arrhythmia and heart rate was recorded. Three out of fifty presented sinusal arrhythmia indicating parasympathetic dominance. Heart rate values ranged from 70 to 180 beats per minute. No other abnormalities have been observed in ECG reports.
The inspection of the UA respiratory tracts revealed abnormalities in all 50 patients: abnormally long and hyperplasic soft palate (50/50 dogs; 100%), stenotic nares (48/50 dogs; 96%) and everted laryngeal saccules (16/50 dogs; 32%). Thoracic radiography was performed in 48 cases and tracheal hypoplasia was diagnosed in 14 animals 29.1% dogs; pug (n = 4), English bulldog (n = 2) and French bulldog (n = 8)] with a DTI/DT (thoracic inlet to tracheal diameter) ratio that ranged from 0.08 to 0.3. Thoracic radiography also allowed us to record vertebral heart score (VHS) of 35 out of 50 patients, obtaining values from 8.5 to 12.1
Laboratory data
The present study did not find a significant association between the severity of respiratory and digestive signs and CRP, Hp and cTnI levels. However, patients with everted laryngeal saccules had more severe respiratory signs (
There was a significant correlation between the presence of digestive signs and cTnI (
To the authors' knowledge, this is the first prospective clinical study of dogs suffering from BAOS that has evaluated the levels of several biomarkers [acute phase proteins (CRP, Hp) and cTnI] and the relation of them with clinical signs and anatomical features.
The English bulldog has snoring and fragmented sleep
The correlation between human OSAS, inflammation and cardiovascular disease is well established
The presence of digestive signs in dogs with BAOS has been described elsewhere
The most common anomalies present in dogs from the present study were stenotic nares and elongated soft palate, similar to findings described by previous studies
The presence of nasopharyngeal turbinates can be an important anatomic component of BAOS
The innovative aspects of this work are the determination of different biomarkers in dogs with BAOS. The design of the study included a complete work-up to exclude other diseases that might affect the results of biomarker determination. In human medicine, high values of C-reactive protein (CRP) have been found in OSAS patients and have been associated with the severity of respiratory signs according to the apnea/hypopnea index
Several authors suggested that cTnI determination in dogs is useful for identifying myocardial damage
All patients included in the study were submitted to a thorough physical examination, blood work, thoracic x-ray and an electrocardiogram, and no evidence of cardiac disease was found. However brachycephalic dogs may be predisposed to pulmonary hypertension, due to chronic hypoxia, and dogs with pulmonary hypertension can have increased concentrations of cTnI
To conclude, this study suggests that BAOS does not induce an evident systemic inflammatory status according to values of CRP and Hp. On the other hand, these preliminary observations suggest that some dogs with BAOS may suffer some grade of myocardial damage that could be detected by cTnI levels. Further studies including more animals are required to define the predictive value of those biomarkers in dogs with BAOS. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first description of CRP, Hp and cTnI levels in dogs with BAOS.
This multicentre study is based on a prospective evaluation of brachycephalic dogs over a two-year period (January 2008–January 2010) in four veterinary hospitals (Hospital Clinic Veterinari, Barcelona; ARS Veterinaria, Barcelona; Centro Policlínico Veterinario El Raspeig, Alicante and Centre Hospitalier Vétérinaire Frégis, Arcueil). The study group consisted of brachycephalic dogs presented for the diagnosis of BAOS. In order to be included in the study dogs must be brachycephalic with clinical signs of upper airway obstruction, with a body condition from 4/9 to 7/9, without any previous treatment for BAOS and any present medication. On the other hand, dogs included in the study must not present any other illness apart from BAOS.
Ethical authority
The procedures conducted for this study were absolutely designed to improve the welfare of dogs. Moreover, owners were exhaustively informed of the blood work and exploratory procedures applied on each animal, and signed an authorization file of acceptance. On the other hand, the study was evaluated and accepted by the Ethical Committee on Animal and Human Research (CEEAH) of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB).
Clinical evaluation
Upon admission, a physical examination, thoracic radiography and an electrocardiogram were performed on all patients. Moreover cell blood count, serum biochemistry and serum levels of CRP, Hp and cTnI were evaluated. A complete clinical form was obtained from each patient, designed to homogenize the information between centers. The frequency of upper respiratory signs (stertors, snoring, inspiratory effort, exercise intolerance and syncope) and digestive signs (ptyalism, regurgitation and vomiting) were recorded. On the basis of the frequency of each respiratory and digestive sign, a global classification of four grades was obtained: absent (grade 0), mild (grade 1), moderate (grade 2) and severe (grade 3).
Diagnosis of all anatomical components of BAOS was made via oropharyngeal and laryngeal examination and thoracic radiographs in anesthetized dogs. Premedication included 0.05 mg/kg acepromacine and 0.01 mg/kg buprenorfine intramuscularly. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol. A soft palate that extended beyond its contact with the epiglottis, or that extended caudally to distal poles of the tonsils, was considered redundant. BAOS diagnosis was carried out on the basis of both upper airway respiratory signs and anatomic abnormalities, as has been described elsewhere
Lateral thoracic radiography aimed at measuring the vertebral heart score and ratio of the thoracic inlet (DTI) to the tracheal diameter (DT) was performed anesthetized animals in order to detect tracheal hypoplasia, defined as DTI/DT ratio < 0.16
Biomarker analysis
Blood samples were collected in 5 mL serum blood tubes and centrifuged within 30 minutes after collection. The serum obtained was separated and stored at -80 °C for biomarker analysis. Sample storage varied from 1 to 2 months. Samples were sent using dry ice and were thawed only once, at the time of analysis.
CRP concentration was measured using a human immunoturbidimetric assaya that showed a correlation of 0.98 with a specific canine ELISA assayb which has been validated for use in dogs

22 Year old male with puffy protruding nipples, What is the best procedure for me to get done? (photos)
Doctor Answers 10
"Puffy Nipple Areola Complex" is among the most common forms of gynecomastia. This gland and/or adipose tissue accumulation can be located under the areola or can be slightly extended outside the areola, causing the areola to appear dome shaped.This form of #Gynecomastia can be found in all age groups but is more common in young adults.Men who suffer from large #areolas may notice that after breast surgery, the skin of the chest muscles will tighten, causing the areolas to tighten and diminish in size. This is a result of the removal of glandular and/or adipose tissue.
As each case is different, it is vital that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in male breast surgery. The surgeon should determine if you are a suitable candidate for male breast reduction by liposuction or glandular excision. It is also crucial to have a plastic surgeon who is well-versed in the gynecomastia condition can determine if there is firm breast tissue beneath the areola that is causing the nipples to project (which is often the case), and if so, how much of this glandular tissue can be removed to create a flat appearance.
#PuffyNipple surgery generally takes only an hour or two, and the recovery time is short; sometimes less than a week. There is minimal scarring and the success rate is excellent. Therefore, patients who suffer from "Puffy Nipples", and who view it as an unaesthetic and unpleasant condition, may desire surgical intervention to correct the "puffy nipple" condition.

Thank you for your question. An in-person exam with a board certified Plastic Surgeon will be the best way to find out which surgical plan is most appropriate for you. You should be able to achieve good results with some combination of excision and liposuction- through a small incision.
An excess growth of breast tissue and herniated/puffy areolas cannot be reduced with weight/fat loss. Gynecomastia affects all shapes and sizes of men- slim ones as well. The surgical techniques used to address this can be quite simple and relatively minor but you will need a customised approach.
I recommend that you book your in-person consultation with a Plastic Surgeon who specialises in this procedure and find out about your options. Compare recommendations by meeting with more than one surgeon so that you feel confident with your plan.
All the best

Thanks for the post and photos. It appears that you have gynecomastia based on the photos. That being said the only way to give you advice about the specific technique best for you would be an in-person examination. This is not a cookie-cutter surgery and needs to be individualized. You will likely need excision but may or may not need liposuction.

this can be done through a tiny incision in the armpit with no visible scar on the front of your chest using both liposuction and special instrumentation to remove the hard gland. As you are getting your consultations with board-certified plastic surgeon's find someone that utilizes this particular technique. Good luck on your treatment.

During the World War II year every major studio contributed at least
one all star extravaganza for the movie going public. Many times that
portion of the movie going public that was in the Armed Services and
over there got to see some of this stuff first. Universal Studio's
entry into this field was Follow the Boys.
The first twenty five minutes of the film consists of how screen team and married in real cinema life team George Raft and Vera Zorina got together. Raft plays one of the members of an old vaudeville show business family who after vaudeville dies, goes to Hollywood to continue his career. He meets up with Vera Zorina and they meet and fall in love and get married. Their joint careers are going good until Pearl Harbor.
Here's the part of the plot I cannot understand. Raft tries to enlist and gets turned down because of a bad knee. He wants it kept quiet for reasons I absolutely can't figure out. A few Hollywood stars like Gary Cooper (a broken hip that never mended properly) and Ward Bond (another broken hip and epilepsy) were quite legitimate 4-Fs. Why this was so embarrassing for Raft didn't make sense to me.
But what he does is start organizing shows under the USO auspices and at that point all the stars playing themselves came in. Another thing about Follow the Boys I don't understand is that several of Universal's biggest musical and comedy stars that were there at the time never appeared. I'm talking about folks like Abbott&Costello, Deanna Durbin, Allan Jones and Nelson Eddy. And they even got Jeanette MacDonald over from MGM as one of the guest stars.
But it's still a good group that's here. Sophie Tucker, Dinah Shore, Donald O'Connor, Peggy Ryan and the incomparable W.C. Fields. This was Fields's farewell appearance and he does his famous pool room bit that he perfected in vaudeville long before he became the screen's number one misanthrope.
Dinah Shore sang I'll Walk Alone, one of the World War II era's biggest song hits and Follow the Boys only nomination for an Academy Award. It lost that year to Swinging on a Star from Going My Way. Dinah's rendition will moisten the eyes I guarantee. She sold a few 78 platters back in the day off this.
Orson Welles is in this one and in it he gets to show off in his number two avocation, prestidigitation. Mr. Welles performs a few feats of magic, something he did when he was not acting, writing, directing, etc. And he had the loveliest of assistants in Marlene Dietrich.
Although George Raft was known for his gangster portrayals, back in the day before Hollywood he was a dancer. He showed that talent off in such films as Rumba and Bolero for Paramount in the Thirties and he was pretty good. He and Vera Zorina made a fine dance team and Raft himself does a nice soft shoe routine to Sweet Georgia Brown.
Jeanette MacDonald got to reprise one of her early screen hits Beyond the Blue Horrizon and that was a treat indeed. Too bad no one thought to team her with Nelson Eddy or Allan Jones, but I see the fine hand of Louis B. Mayer here who probably didn't want them singing together for anyone else but Leo the Lion.
I have a weakness for these all star extravaganzas so there's no way I ever give one a bad review. Despite a story line that defies belief, Follow the Boys should not be missed.
In a great tribute to all the performers who have entertained American
Fighting Forces, Follow the Boys assembles a nifty all-star group to
let the folks on the home front see what the soldiers are getting. The
film combines real footage in the field mixed with performers
recreating their USO acts.
The result is a bit like a training film for the USO, but it does help us appreciate how so many performers went above and beyond the call of duty. From the wonderful Andrews Sisters to magical Orson Welles, it is an eclectic revue. There is a particularly touching section in the middle, from Artur Rubinstein to a montage underscored by beautifully melancholy songs from Dinah Shore.
Of course to get to all this, you must wade through a negligible plot about a husband-and-wife dance team (George Raft and Vera Zorina) who split over one of those obnoxious movie misunderstanding as he wants to put all his efforts into entertaining the troops. The dialogue is pedantic, Zorina is a cold fish, and Raft is stiff - until he's dancing.
Though he seems to be enjoying himself ONLY when he's dancing, Raft had an emotional investment in the film. In real life, he was among the troop entertainers, and he had also been very close to Carole Lombard, who had died earlier engaged in exactly that work. Perhaps it was his personal tribute to her. He is in one of the best numbers of the film: Louis Jordan and his orchestra perform "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby" and then accompany Raft as he dances "Sweet Georgia Brown" in the rain for a group of black soldiers. Though Raft was at his peak weight here, he was still nimble afoot.
It is difficult in the modern world of mega-entertainment to comprehend how little was available in 1944, especially for troops stationed in remote regions, at least if movies made during World War Two are any testimony. This movie is loaded with talent, singing what the "boys" wanted to hear. The plot is typical of USO movies, lots of entertaining and lots of appreciation. Dinah Shore's "I Promise You" and the Andrew Sisters' "Apple Blossom Time" must have put many minds at ease, at least for a short time. The film is worth seeing, especially when George Raft dances in the rain.
This is a very good movie to see for the entertainers who are really the stars here. Plus you get a real good feel for the organization that went into getting all of the stars to the troops. This is a good look at history from the standpoint of getting to see the stars of the 1940s. Good music too. 7/10
Follow The Boys was one of several "entertaining the troops" films made
during World War II. The plots often revolved around personal conflict for
the characters that is war related. The films usually pat show business on
the back for what it's doing for the troops. Finally, there are lots of
speciality numbers by popular performers of the day. Follow The Boys stays
true to the formula, but with some interesting touches. First, it provides
some background on the organization necessary to put entertainment units
together. Second, some footage was shot at actual performances before
audiences of service men and women.
George Raft plays the main character, a dancer turned show organizaer. His dancing makes us realize he is better at organizing shows. As is often the case in these films, the high spots are the speciality numbers, particularly Loius Jordan, Dinah Shore, and amazingly enough, Arthur Rubenstein here. Orson Welles does a fascinating magic act. Jeanette McDonald does a number in a hospital ward singing to injured soldiers. It's contrived, yet moving. Follow The Boys is an interesting, if uneven, WWII artifact.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This movie is full of surprises, including an Andrews Sister mimicking
a strip tease, a full scale dog act including trapeze tricks, Dinah
Shore at the beginning of her long career, George Raft doing a
Valentino take-off, Arthur Rubinstein performing on the piano a song
that Spike Jones later had a hit with, Charlie Spivak and his orchestra
proving that Harry James had no corner on mooing horns and muted muzak,
and what appears to be Getty Grable dancing in cold weather issue Micky
Mouse boots! Louis Jourdan and his band are the stand-outs among the
musical performances, with "Is You Is or Is You Ain't". George Raft
doing a soft-shoe in the rain to Jourdan's "Sweet Georgia Brown" is a
close second. The big surprise is Orson Welles, relatively svelte,
performing some David Copperfield-like magic tricks with a magnificent
stage presence. Those who have seen the Peter Seller's and David Niven
"Casino Royale" will know what I mean. By the way, "Casino Royale" also
included George Raft in a brief cameo.
A bit long and interrupted by an unnecessary plot, this flick is worth seeing again and again.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
For those on the homefront, this was a consoling musical to show how
the troops were being entertained and how stars of stage, screen and
radio (WHAT'S A RADIO?) got involved, whether doing bond drives,
heading to bases to entertain, or even going overseas. The premise has
a former vaudevillian turned movie star (George Raft) neglecting his
marriage to his dancing leading lady (Vera Zorina) to accomplish this.
Musical numbers and comedy sketches frame a strong storyline, so this
is a bit more than the usual "look what we did for the boys" musical
revue most of the movie studios were turning out. That isn't mean to
diminish movies like "Hollywood Canteen", "Stage Door Canteen", "This
is the Army", "Thousands Cheer" and "Thank Your Lucky Stars", but there
is a greater purpose to the movie than simply being an entertainment.
The highlights for me include a wonderful Andrews Sisters medley, as well as a reprise of "Beyond the Blue Horizon" sung by Jeanette MacDonald, which she first sang in the 1930 movie operetta "Monte Carlo". The war setting for that song is just as appropriate as it was in that earlier film. A wonderful array of stars famous and obscure include such gems as Sophia Tucker ("the last of the Red Hot Mama's"), W.C. Fields (performing his pool act which I found dated), Donald O'Connor and Peggy Ryan (the Mickey & Judy of Universal), Dinah Shore (singing "I Walk Alone" to a montage of soldiers overseas) and various popular bandleaders. Orson Welles gets to do a funny magic show with the help of glamorous Marlene Dietrich. And then there are character performers like Charley Grapewin, Charles Butterworth, George MacReady and Elizabeth Patterson, famous enough to play themselves, but portraying fictional characters.
Shots of various stars on actual bond tours, as well as a call board with the names and sites of the various bond and base activities going on add authenticity. As for the actual storyline between Raft and Ms. Zorina, I found it realistic to see how what was going on had an impact on their marriage as their priorities became twisted during a war of which some effects are still being felt today. Some of the situations seem a bit forced but when you've got this array of talent, that is a minor complaint.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Then-topical puttin'-on-a-show-for-the-troops film is now interesting, from a historical perspective, for a certain documentary-like quality. Though it was made by Universal, it doesn't shy away from name-dropping other movie studios and performers, as parts of the collective effort of the entertainment industries to give soldiers a few hours of joy during WWII. Worth catching are the historic first teaming of Orson Welels and Marlene Dietrich (he does some magic tricks, and then saws her in half; "we lose a girl in every performance!", he warns the audience), and a lively Donald O'Connor - Peggy Ryan duet. But the main "plot" is a drag: George Raft is miscast, especially in the early scenes that require a light touch (with that voice, he always sounds as if he is about to punch someone), and Vera Zorina, a real-life dancer, is mostly relegated to a thankless dramatic part. Note: I watched the edited, 110-minute version. ** out of 4.

Worthy of Your Name (Live)
Most of your favorite Passion Conference worship leaders are back with another big, bright outpouring of already or soon-to-be worship standards from this year's final conference at the old Georgia Dome. Following up-tempo opener "Glorious Day," they settle into an album of mostly slow, gigantic anthems with lyrics that major on the cross, resurrection, and our consecration as believers for a life of praise and service.
The title cut is a standout, with a high Christology that begins with colorful descriptions of the incarnation ("Holiness with human hands") and moves into the wonders of Christ's atonement and his victory over death. "Forgiven" paints a vivid scene of the crucifixion, where we are the villains and the forgiven ("God, I fall down to my knees / With a hammer in my hand").
Sounds Like: Does Passion really sound like anyone, or is it everyone else who sounds like Passion? This is their patented sound, deviating neither to the left nor to the right.
Top Songs
Most Singable: "Build My Life"
Strongest Biblical: "Worthy of Your Name"
Whole Package: "Your Cross Changes Everything"
– Bobby Gilles

Iakotiiá:ner (plural), Iakoiá:ner (singular) is generally translated as Clanmothers. A Clanmother is female leader of her clan family. Aside from her social and spiritual roles, a Clanmother is politically responsible for selecting a Chief who would represent her clan family. She watches for potential candidates from the time these men were boys, looking for the special qualities and merit needed for this position of leadership - grooming them along the way. It has been said that Haudenasaunee leaders are not born, they are cultivated.
A Clanmother is installed for life and is only released on account of merit, sickness, or death.

Big Ten Conference

Big Ten

Coming off his worst season ever as a coach at Penn State, Paterno has no plans to retire. He still has some lofty goals he wants to achieve.
"I've coached undefeated football teams in the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s. That's four decades that I've had undefeated teams," Paterno said Friday, two days before he turns 77. "We had a shot at the national championship in every single one of those decades.
"I want to do it for five decades. Every year that's what I want to do. I really thought we had a legitimate shot at it last year and I'm working my butt off to give us a chance to get it done before I get out of it. I understand what it takes to get it done and I know how to get it done."
Penn State finished a miserable season with a 3-9 record, 1-7 in the Big Ten. It was the third time in the last four years the Nittany Lions had a losing record, and just the fourth losing season since Paterno joined the coaching staff in 1950.
The Nittany Lions set one ignominious record after another this season. Nine losses were the most ever for a Penn State team, breaking the record set during a 2-8 season in 1931. And Penn State's three wins came against teams — Temple, Kent State and Indiana — that went 8-28.
Penn State didn't win a road game for the first time since the 1936 season, and finished below .500 in the Big Ten for the first time since joining the conference for the 1993 season. The Nittany Lions finished tied for ninth in a league they expected to dominate when they joined a decade ago.
"I don't know about physically, but it took a lot out of me mentally," Paterno said. "Nobody likes to lose and this team lost more than any other I've been around. But I feel great now. I have a little bit of a flu, but other than that, I feel great.
"We expect to have a lot of good players returning and recruiting has gone well. Now can I do it for another 10 years? I don't know. When you're 90, it's kind of tough to be a football coach."
Paterno came to Penn State 53 years ago as an assistant to Rip Engle, then took over as head coach in 1966. His career record is 339-109-3. Earlier this year, Florida State coach Bobby Bowden passed Paterno as the coach with the most major-college wins, a record Paterno took two years ago from the late Paul "Bear" Bryant.
Penn State's season was marred by an unprecedented number of player arrests that provided a constant distraction throughout the year.
The first, and worst, of a series of off-field troubles came last spring when Anwar Phillips was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a female student on campus. A jury over the summer found him innocent, but when the details were made public in the spring Paterno was vilified for allowing Phillips to play in the Capital One Bowl, two weeks after Phillips had been expelled from the university.
During the summer and fall, seven more current and former players were arrested or cited, including redshirt freshman Maurice Humphrey, the team's No. 2 receiver. On the day after the season ended, Humphrey was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, harassment and criminal mischief for an alleged on-campus assault. He was temporarily expelled from the university earlier this month.
"Maurice has some problems," Paterno said, adding he didn't expect Humphrey to play next season. "He's a good kid. I don't approve of what he did."
In his 38 seasons as coach, Paterno has led Penn State to two national championships (1982, 1986), four title games, seven undefeated, untied regular seasons and 31 bowl games (20-10-1).

Harbour Island — known as Briland by the locals — has been called "the best island beach in the world" and "the best sand beach in the world" by major travel publications yet it is still one of the best kept secrets in the Bahamas.
Less than four miles long and a half-mile wide, Harbour Island is a sleepy retreat with a unique charm and slightly rustic character. It's a special place for rest and relaxation. A place to unwind and slow down.

Yes I did! Just realised. Bugger. Thought it was a WP them. Oh bugger!! It was $15.
I just tried to upload the magnum theme and get the "missing the style.css stylesheet" error.
I followed the video and it still did not upload correctly.
The files within the theme zip file are: Help Files, magnum-html, psd I'm presuming the theme files are within the magnum-html folder.
However…there are many many folders and files within this folder.
I zipped the html folder – and no luck with uploading. Got the same error. Tried to do it through ftp – still said the "missing the style.css stylesheet" error.
I'd love a hand if someone could help.

Does it scare anyone to raise and bring their children in the world we live in today!? People are going crazy, literally. So many terrible things happening! Half the time I don't even feel safe leaving my home especially with my child! You never know about people anymore .. so sad.
You raise a good question, Shannon... but honestly, the world has always been crazy.. I just feel like we see and hear about it more because of the internet, iPhones, iPads, always being connected.. we just hear all about the madness more.. it's always been there though.. and if I can bring someone into the world that can do good for it.. add a little slice of love and peace.. then I will be happy :)
I hear ya, Shannon! I am worried too. I don't want to turn my TV on to watch the news even
I agree. It's crazy, but we have to bring good people into it to make it better! :)
I couldn't agree more. I feel like it is just getting worse and worse. lol The news is just annoying and depressing to watch now.

Old-Fashioned Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Be the first to review
READY IN: 55mins
Recipe by Chilicat
No cake mix here! This is from the old McCall's cooking school binder.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 (8 1/4 ounce) cans pineapple slices in syrup (12 slices)
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 2⁄3 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄3 cup pecan halves
- 1 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
- 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup shortening
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled (or 1 pint vanilla ice cream)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350°F Drain pineapple slices, reserving 2 tablespoons of the syrup. In a very heavy or iron, 10-inch skillet with.
- heat-resistant handle, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, stirring until sugar is melted. Remove from heat.
- Arrange 8 pineapple slices on sugar mixture, overlapping slices slightly around edge of pan. Put one slice in center. Fill centers with pecan halves. Halve three remaining pineapple slices. Arrange around inside edge of skillet. Put pecans in centers.
- Into medium bowl, sift flour with granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Add shortening and milk. With electric mixer at high speed, beat 2 minutes, or until mixture is smooth. Add egg and reserved 2 tablespoons pineapple syrup; beat 2 minutes longer.
- Gently pour cake batter over pineapple in skillet, spreading evenly, being careful not to disarrange pineapple. On rack in center of oven, bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden in color and surface of cake springs back when it's gently pressed with fingertip.
- Let skillet stand on wire rack 5 minutes to cool just slightly. With rotary beater, beat cream until stiff. With small spatula, loosen cake from edge of skillet all around. Place serving platter over the cake, and turn upside down; shake gently; lift off skillet.
- Serve cake warm, with the whipped cream or ice cream. Note: The pineapple upside-down cake was traditionally baked in an iron skillet. If your skillet does not have an iron or heatproof handle, wrap handle in foil before placing in the oven.


text: NOT far from where I live, in a hospital in the south of Delhi, a 23-year-old woman clings to life, after a trip home from the cinema became a living nightmare. Brutally raped and beaten on a bus by a gang of six men, her naked body was then thrown from the moving vehicle. Doctors have described her intestinal and perineal injuries as life threatening. In a critical condition, she remains on a ventilator, unable to breathe unaided. Her future is uncertain. The incident has captured the attention of the nation. There has been a collective outpouring of shock, outrage, grief and anger. "Delhi's SHAME!" screams one headline. "Save women, save India!" shouts a protester and poster at India Gate. Bollywood stars and cricket icons have weighed in on Twitter. Distressed MPs have wept openly in Parliament. There have been marches and demonstrations across the country. There have been strident calls for the death penalty for the perpetrators and a groundswell of support for the introduction of capital punishment for convicted rapists. India is in crisis.

Background of New Elfhome
They were known by many names; Elves, Sidhe, Tuatha de Danaan, to name a few. They were tall, fair and magical, they ensorcelled, ensnared and enraptured humanity since time immemmorial, they were a symbol of all that was magical and mysterious, and they vanished.
No one knows where they went. Perhaps they simply closed the gateways from the Otherworld and chose to visit us no more; perhaps they travelled even further, into the stars; perhaps they died. But there are enough stories of changlings, Elvan lovers, half-Elves and fey blood to suggest that they left a legacy behind them.
The laws of science and nature say that any fey blood should become more dilute with each generation, but science knows nothing of the ways of magic, and magic is at the core of Elvan existance.
And yet it is that, in these technological times, when science is peeling back the mystery and disproving the magic, the magical influence seems to only grow stronger, and there are those born with far more then their fair share of Elvan blood.
Often lost and unhappy in these technological times, these new Elves have sought their own little pockets of magic, but it was not until two such, with a special gift for crossing the Mists of Time, find a way to the Otherworld.
Following their discovery, the two travellers began to carefully seek out others like themselves. Others who would wish to cross to the other side, and begin life anew. These New Elves are the founders of New Elfhome.
There are many great works on the mythos surrounding the mysterious creatures who appear in the mythology of many European cultures, and can be lumped loosely together under the term 'Elves'. I won't attempt to paraphrase them, but instead suggest a little light reading. Try Googling 'Elves', 'celtic', 'sidhe' or 'tuatha de danaan' for a start. Failing that, think along the lines of Tolkein's Elves.

The sister was over an hour in the bathroom trying to clean up. My question is in order for the two to get a relationship going again her sister needs to make an apology. Shari doesn't feel she owes her sister an apology. Shari asked me my opinon I said what does your conscience tell you. Shari said no apology. I never thought my friend to be this violent. She has made other remarks about her rage. Thanks for your help GaryM

- Return to Labyrinth of Touhou: Dungeon Guide
The puzzle on this floor involves flipping the switches numbered one through seven, which add up to create one whole number which determines where the single teleporter will take you. The trick is that instead of being worth their own value, each number is worth two to the power of its own value minus one. So each number is worth(aka binary):
The switches do not return to their original positions when you return to Gensokyo. Each switch turns off when touched a second time (You should probably take notes of which switches are on). The trick is indeed, combinations of on-off switches that lead to different places.
Teleporter locations:
B/T = Bottom/Top R/L = Right/Left
Total: Warp Point and/or Treasure
0~10: BL1 (Memo/Green Dream)
11: BL2 (Cosmic Muscle/Energy Crystal/Shuten Douji Bracelet/Omoikane's Insight) - Also has an one-way passage to the same place as 44~54

33~43: BR3 (Memo)
44~54: BL4 (Memo)
59: TL2 (Holy Win)- Also has an one-way passage to the same place as 108~117
64: TR1 (Memo/Robe of Twilight)

Notable Enemies
Spiral Divers are relatively fast (~180 speed) and have high attack. One of their skills, slash dive, will most likely kill any non-tank character in your team. Fortunately, slash dive only hits the first slot. However, their regular, weaker, slash can target any slot. They have low health, mind, and defense, so killing them with a fast character such as Chen before they get a turn is possible.

In Reply to: RE: What are some of your most vintage tubes? posted by FenderLover on March 28, 2017 at 11:38:20
These are the oldest that I have. Unfortunately, for display only due to open filaments.
Follow Ups:
They are european, so not from deforest. And they probably pre-date his commercial offerings.
I am guessing that the other two tubes are from the same or another French company of the same time period. I am cheating by using the vacuum tube history book pictured below.
I do love alpha Al's pictures.
I don't know much about these. I wondered what "Metal" meant. Didn't realize that was the manufacturer.
The tube in the center was made by Moorhead.
four pin tubes, as Moorhead was contracted in WWI to supply the British military who had been using the French tube designs.

text: Ofcom invites UK industry to pilot 'white space' devices26 Apr 2013 04:47 PM Pilot due to start in the autumn will test devices, databases and interference mitigation processes with the aim of rolling out the technology during 2014The UK telecommunications regulator Ofcom has today (26 April 2013) announced plans for a pilot of innovative 'white space' technology in the UK, among the first of its kind in Europe.The technology uses gaps in radio spectrum, called 'white spaces', which exist in between frequency bands. In this instance, these bands have been reserved for digital terrestrial TV broadcasting and wireless microphones.Use of these white spaces will allow devices to transmit and receive wireless signals for applications such as broadband access for rural communities, Wi-Fi-like services or new 'machine-to-machine' networks.Ofcom is inviting industry to take part in the pilot, which is intended to take place in the autumn. The locations for the trial will be chosen once trial participants have been identified.Following a successful completion of the pilot, Ofcom anticipates that the technology could be fully rolled out during 2014, enabling the use of white space devices across the country.White space technology will be one way of meeting the growing demand for data in the UK. Ofcom is separately planning to free up more spectrum2 in the future for the next generation of high-speed data services, already dubbed '5G'. This follows the successful completion of the 4G mobile spectrum auction in February 2013.Plans to pilot the use of white space technology were announced by Ofcom today at an event for industry stakeholders. The pilot will test the inter-operation of white spaces devices, white space databases and the processes to mitigate against causing any undue interference to current spectrum users.Ed Richards, Ofcom chief executive, said: 'Ofcom is preparing for a future where consumers' demand for data services will experience huge growth. This will be fuelled by smartphones, tablets and other new wireless applications.'White space technology is one creative way that this demand can be met. We are aiming to facilitate this important innovation by working closely with industry."Why white spaces? Ofcom's planned pilot will use the white spaces that exist between airwaves reserved for digital terrestrial TV broadcasting.Compared with other forms of wireless technologies, such as regular Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the radio waves used by white space devices will be able to travel longer distances and more easily through walls. This is because they would use the lower frequencies that have traditionally been reserved for TV.Under Ofcom's plans, a TV white space device will not be able to start transmitting until it gets clearance from a database qualified by Ofcom and listed on a dedicated Ofcom website. This database will provide updated information on where the TV white spaces are and the power level that devices would need to be restricted to if they wanted to use them. This will help ensure that there is no undue interference with the existing spectrum users.Finite resourceSpectrum itself is a limited resource that is in huge demand, driven by the explosion in smartphones, tablets and other wireless applications. White space devices offer a creative and efficient way to use spectrum that would otherwise lie fallow.Ofcom recently successfully completed the auction of 4G spectrum, which saw five companies acquire airwaves to launch competing superfast 4G mobile broadband services from spring or early summer.Wireless magazineLeave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

Sony previously said that its Xperia X smartphone range would emphasise the camera and its latest, the Xperia XA Ultra, looks set to live up to that promise.
The 6-inch handset features a 21.5 megapixel Exmor RS main camera with quick launch and hybrid autofocus and a impressively specced front-facing camera. The Xperia XA Ultra features a 16MP low-light sensor with a front-flash and optical image stabilisation (OIS).
Internally, the Xperia XA Ultra features a MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755) octa-core processor along with 3GB RAM. There's 16GB storage included, though you can bump this up by up to 200GB with a microSD card. The handset features a 2,700mAh battery, which Sony says you'll get up to two days of use from.
The Xperia XA Ultra will be available in black, white and lime from July. As yet, it's unknown how much it will cost or where it will be available first.

Delk, Hansen to Have Jerseys Retired
LEXINGTON, Ky. – University of Kentucky men's basketball great Tony Delk and gymnastics star Jenny Hansen will have their jerseys retired by UK Athletics at events held in February.
Jersey retirement is considered the highest honor of UK Athletics. Delk becomes the 43rd retired jersey associated with men's basketball and Hansen is the first honoree in gymnastics. Previously, Delk and Hansen had been elected to the UK Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008 and 2006, respectively. They were elected for jersey retirement this year by a Hall of Fame subcommittee comprised of media, Hall of Fame representatives and athletics staff.
Hansen will be honored on Friday, Feb. 20 at the UK gymnastics meet vs. Arkansas, and Delk will be recognized on Saturday, Feb. 21 at the men's basketball game vs. Auburn.
Listed below are biographies of the two retired jersey honorees:
Tony Delk, Men's Basketball, 1993-96
The Most Outstanding Player of the 1996 NCAA Final Four and the Midwest Regional in leading UK to the national championship … Earned first-team All-America and SEC Player of the Year honors as a senior … First-team All-SEC his last two seasons, also third-team All-America as a junior and second-team All-SEC as a sophomore … Led the Wildcats in scoring three straight years … UK's career leader in three-pointers (283), while ranking second in career steals (201) and fifth in scoring (1,890 points) … In his four years, Kentucky posted a 119-18 record and went to the NCAA Final Four twice, winning one national championship, two SEC championships, three SEC Eastern Division championships and three SEC Tournament titles … Played 10 seasons in the NBA.
Jenny Hansen, Gymnastics, 1993-96
One of the most distinguished gymnastics athletes in NCAA history … Broke three NCAA records, including: eight individual national titles; four titles in one year (1995: all-around, floor exercise, balance beam, vault); and three all-around championships (1993-95) … Earned All-America honors in 13 events during her career … 1994 Honda Cup recipient as the top women's amateur athlete (any sport) in the nation … 1995 SEC Female Athlete of the Year … Won nine individual titles at the SEC Championships, setting the league record for most individual championships … Set and continues to hold every individual record in school history.
The UK Athletics Hall of Fame was started in 2005 to recognize and honor persons whose participation and contributions enriched and strengthened the university's athletic program. The charter class included 88 individuals who had previously had their jersey retired by UK.
There is a five-year waiting period – after leaving UK – to be eligible for inclusion into the Hall of Fame. Hall of Famers are eligible for jersey retirement five years after they have been elected to the Hall of Fame.
