Hi,I am using hp pavillion 15 (core i7). Can I install backlit keyboard on my laptop?
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
@FahimAhmed To better help you we would need the exact model number or product number of your laptop/desktop??? http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c00033108 REORead other 1 answers

I have watched videos about replacing keyboards and installing backlit ones in place of the standard, and was wondering if it were possible to install one that is backlit on my Pavilion 15 ab212cy. My old laptop bit the dust and I received this new one as a gift and it has everything I need, but I do wish the keys were backlit as I do a lot of my school work in dim lighting to avoid disturbing my roomate, as well as online streaming and gaming at night. Thanks in advace! I really hope I can get one installed.

I have a backlit keyboard and would like to replace it with a standard keyboard. Is this possible without causing problems? If so, is there just one choice of standard-type keyboard, or are there multiple choices? What is/are the part number(s)?
You can simply remove the keyboard and disconnect the backlight ribbon cable and reinstall if you want to disable the backlight. Or just never turn it on? What is it about the backlit keyboard that you do not like?Read other 2 answers

Hi, I just purchased a new T480 Thinkpad for work, which is a great computer. Unfortunatly the model I have does not have the backlit keyboard. The specific model I have is a 20L5000WUS.

Hello everyone,I'm new on here and I'm in the process of upgrading my laptop. Ram, ssd etc. I've seen backlit keyboards for sale claiming to be compatible and I am wondering is this a possible upgrade?Any help is welcome.Thanks.
OK here is the Service Manual: Manual The keyboards are not sold by HP as a separate part: only sold with the whole top cover. See p. 20 The Manual does not list any keyboard/top cover as having a backlight. However, the keyboard map on p. 15 shows the f5 action key as activating a backlight on "select models". From this I gather that there is a place on the motherboard to connect a backlight cable if the keyboard has one. However, extracting the old keyboard from the top cover and replacing it with just the replacement keyboard is not easy and there are no directions in the Manual for that procedure. I would want to see one of these alleged backlit keyboards. Bottom line, it is possible, but I would be leery. Do you have an f5 action key with the backlight symbol on it? Have you tried it to see if maybe your keyboard is backlit? If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.Read other 2 answers

Hello everyone, I can do this upgrade? Can I Replace a Keyboard(Non-Backlit) with Backlit Keyboard in my HP EliteBook 850 G2?thanks
If your computer is a "desktop" computer, it should be a "no-brainer".The USB port on your computer would supply power to the keyboard to run the back-lights. But, since you have a notebook, you'll have to find a keyboard that physically matches the size of your current keyboard, and then hope that the notebook's motherboard will supply electrical power to the back-lights.This sounds like a tough task!

Hi! I've got Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 Silver (https://www.alza.cz/EN/lenovo-ideapad-yoga-13-silver-d375124.htm), and while I am quite content with the device, my keyboard stopped working. I was wondering whether any of you might know and suggest an online reseller (official or otherwise), where I could get hold of a replacement keyboard. Now, I suppose backlit keyboard versions of newer Yoga laptops will not work I guess, will they? From what I have read Yoga 13 Silver does not have the slot required for backlit, but aside that, will the keyboard function and will it fit (dimension-wise)? If so, what is the voltage and current required? Would soldering a small battery to the backlit cable be a good idea (I accept the fact that I wouldn't be able to regulate it)?

Stooges Guitarist James Williamson Digs Up Old Songs For New Album – Ultimate Classic Rock
The life, death and rebirth of the Stooges stands as one of the more unlikely tales in rock and roll. Since reforming in 2003, the band have made two albums and toured regularly. When head Stooge Iggy Pop designated 2014 as time out for the band, guitarist James Williamson has decided to keep active during the downtime.
Williamson was only in the band for one album, 1973′s 'Raw Power,' but his guitar work pushed things forward during one of the most chaotic periods in the Stooges history. He basically went into hiding after they split up in 1974, but he re-joined the fold when original guitarist Ron Asheton passed away in 2009.
Now, Williamson has been digging through the band's past for inspiration, finding several songs in their repertoire that never made it to the studio. Tracks like 'Heavy Liquid,' 'Open Up And Bleed,' 'Head On,' and 'She Creatures Of Hollywood Hills' have appeared on countless bootlegs and dodgy releases over the years, including the infamous 'Metallic K.O.,' but were never recorded in the studio. "I felt these songs had greater potential than what was represented on bootlegs," Williamson told Rolling Stone, "Recording them properly is something I've always wanted to do."
Helping the guitarist on the album, titled 'Re-Licked,' are Stooges bassist Mike Watt and saxophonist Steve Mackay. Iggy, however, remains uninvolved, so Williamson is using a variety of other vocalists including ex-Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra, and Mark Lanegan of the Screaming Trees, among others. "I know not everyone can sing a Stooges song," he adds, "but so far so good." All of the songs date from 1973 and 1974, that post-'Raw Power' period when the band was about to implode.
Work continues on the album, due out later in the year, but two songs from the sessions, 'Open Up and Bleed' and 'Gimme Some Skin,' will be issued as a limited edition vinyl single on Record Store Day this April. 'Bleed' features blues singer Carolyn Wonderland, a snippet of the song can be heard here.
As to Iggy's non-appearance on the sessions, Williamson said, "After our last album, he wasn't too excited about stepping into the studio. I understand." In the meantime, a representative for Iggy Pop has issued the following statement. "Iggy was never given an opportunity to participate on the album. He found out about the project in December of 2013 after it was rejected by an Australian label."

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. and MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Beyond Lucid Technologies, Inc., the company behind MEDIVIEW™—a mission-critical documentation platform serving the ambulance, fire, and industrial emergency response industries—today announced that it received a six-figure convertible note from Dalmore Investments, LLC, an angel fund based in Minneapolis. The two organizations' founders met in October at the DC to VC competition sponsored by Health 2.0 and Morgenthaler Ventures, where Beyond Lucid Technologies won the Series A venture round.
Dalmore Investments, LLC, is led by Dr. John Blank. A physician and president of the fund, Dr. Blank was most recently Senior Vice President of the Emerging Businesses Group at UnitedHealth Group (UNH). The fund has invested in startups at the synapse of healthcare and IT, leveraging Dr. Blank's extensive experience as a healthcare industry leader, payer, and care provider.
Dr. Blank said, "We know that each year, emergency responders lose roughly $3 billion in unbilled and uncollected revenue because existing methods are ineffective to document care while traveling in a vehicle alongside a sick patient. Generating reliable health records in the EMS context—and unlocking the data they hold—has been a problem in search of a solution for years. We are working with Beyond Lucid Technologies because we think MEDIVIEW™ provides this necessary solution."
Jonathon Feit, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Beyond Lucid Technologies, said, "We are thrilled to be working with Dalmore Investments, because from the first time we spoke it was clear that they understood our mission to 'connect the dots' between emergency responders and care facilities, especially during times of maximum system stress. The innovations we're bringing to market provide critical on-the-ground awareness for responders during unfortunate incidents like Hurricane Sandy. This infusion will help us grow the team that will transform emergency response."

ASHLAND, Va.—Despite a career-high 18 points from sophomore Ross Welch, the Birmingham-Southern men's basketball team lost to Randolph-Macon College, 67-57, at Crenshaw Gymnasium in the first round of the Coaches Classic sponsored by Kay Jewelers.
The Yellow Jackets move to 5-4 while the Panthers fall to 6-2.
Welch led all players with his 18 points on 7-11 shooting from the field, including a 4-5 performance from beyond the arc. Junior Larry Thomas was also in double digits with 12 points and a game-high nine rebounds, as well as five assists and three steals.
The Panthers jumped out to a 17-10 lead just over six minutes into the contest and pushed the advantage to eight at 22-14 with 11 minutes left in the first half. R-MC then used a 16-5 run to take a 30-27 lead with 2:20 to go in the period and led 32-29 at the half.
Randolph-Macon never surrendered the lead in the second half. BSC got as close as two at 38-36 before a 17-7 spurt by the Yellow Jackets made it 55-43 with just under 10 minutes remaining. The lead did not get below six the rest of the way before R-MC posted the 67-57 victory.
Akeem Holmes led the Yellow Jackets with 15 points and 10 rebounds off the bench, while Marcus Badger added 13 points and led with three assists.
R-MC out-rebounded the Panthers 43-38, and BSC struggled offensively as well, shooting a season-low 37.1 percent (23-62) from the field. Thomas, the team's leading scorer on the season, went 5-21 from the field and 2-9 from three-point range. The team as a whole shot 40 percent (8-20) on three-pointers and 37.5 percent (3-8) at the free throw line. The Yellow Jackets shot 41 percent (25-61) overall, 13.3 percent (2-15) from beyond the arc, and 71.4 percent (15-21) from the line.
The Panthers also turned the ball over 14 times, three more than R-MC with 11.
BSC is in action again tomorrow in round two of the Coaches Classic, facing Guilford College at 1 p.m. Eastern.

Of course it does a great job on tomatoes, but also on other veggies. Excellent utility knife (even for a lefty)Date published: 2013-07-22Rated 3 out of 5 by Alohadude from Not quite perfect for tomatoes Is actually fine if you don't peel. I always peel tomatoes before slicing, and the serrated edge isn't good for peeling (Wusthof paring knife peels perfectly).Date published: 2013-06-04Rated 5 out of 5 by PatsyP from Summertime Must Have With spring and summer quickly approaching, everyone needs on of these tomato knives. It is so sharp and perfectly cuts the tomato every time. Of course, with it being Wusthof, the quality is outstanding as expected. It completes my knife set and block. I use it daily and what a great price.!!!!!.Date published: 2013-04-09Rated 4 out of 5 by Redbud from So happy to complete my set with this I have been eyeing this knife since I bought my first set of Wusthof classic knives in 2001. This knife does not disappoint, it slices effortlessly through tomatoes and whatever else you want just as expected from a Wusthof. A little bit lighter than I expected though. I can see that when the blade dulls I will need to have it sharpened immediately. Whereas my other Wustohf knives due to the weight may just need a little bit more force when cutting before having to sharpen. I wonder if they changed the composition? Regardless, well worth it! I love it! And, it finishes my block.Date published: 2012-08-28Rated 5 out of 5 by PeterBJr from Wusthof Tomato Knife Great knife. Slice, spear tomato slices with forked tip. Sharp as a razor. Don't know how I lived without this knife...... Every home should have this knife for tomato season and beyond.Date published: 2012-06-21

This map features the major watersheds of the Great Basin. None of them outlet to the sea, but instead end up in small lakes or just trickle off into nothing, often the result of being drained down to nothing for irrigation (or being diverted hundreds of miles away to permit Los Angeles to sustain a population far greater than its environment is capable of). The vast spaces between bothered me, visually, at first, but now I like how they give a sense of oases of population in the deserts.

Musical preparation:
Constantin Trinks
Staging conception and sets: Wolfgang Wagner
Revival director: Katharina Wagner
Costumes: Thomas Kaiser
Chorus master: Pavel Vaněk, Adolf Melichar
Light design: Marc Löhrer
National Theatre Chorus, State Opera Chorus, National Theatre Orchestra
The production is a remake of the original staging by Wolfgang Wagner at the Bayreuther Festspiele in 1967.
A number of globally-renowned composers have been connected with the history of Prague, either through directly living and working here or paying visits to the city. One such was the giant of music theatre Richard Wagner, who particularly liked Bohemia and would come here regularly from the 1820s to the 1840s. Wagner recalled one such visit, in the summer of 1845: "I took to read Wolfram von Eschenbach's poems, revised by Simrock and San Marte, and the related epic of Lohengrin, with a long introduction written by Görres. With the book under my arm, I would disappear into the forest, sit down by a brook and, with Titurel and Parcival, revel in the strange, yet so akin and familiar poem by Wolfram." This is how Wagner recollected the beginning of his work on the text to his opera Lohengrin during his stay in a spa in Mariánské Lázně. He composed the music from May 1846 to April 1848. The opera was first staged at the Herzogliches Hoftheater in Weimar on 28 August 1850, conducted by Franz Liszt, a composer, piano virtuoso and, later on, Wagner's father-in-law. The first Czech production of Lohengrin was premiered on 23 February 1856 at the Estates Theatre in Prague, conducted by the Kapellmeister František Škroup. At the National Theatre, the opera was first performed on 12 January 1885. Its most recent Prague production was premiered on 17 May 1997 at the State Opera. Wagner's grandiose Romantic opera about the fight between Good and Evil is set against an atmosphere replete with the mystery veiling an enigmatic hero, who arrives to defend the honour of Elsa, Princess of Brabant. In terms of the music, it was yet another inspired and engrossing step taken by Wagner on his journey towards through-composed music drama, culminating in the opera Parsifal, dealing with Lohengrin's father. Besides the extremely popular bridal chorus (Treulich geführt), generally known as "The Wedding March", the opera contains other, no less brilliant, scenes, including Elsa's dreamy fantasy about a knight who is supposed to arrive so as to save her; Lohengrin and Elsa's meeting in the wedding chamber; and Lohengrin's revealing his identity in the narration about the Holy Grail. The new National Theatre production of Lohengrin promises to provide an uplifting experience for every opera fan expecting wonderful music, bold emotions and a thrilling story.
Czech and English surtitles are used in the performance.
Approximate running time, including intermissions:
4 hours, 50 minutes, two 20-minute intermissions

18 February 1898 – 18 February 2011. Piero Ferrari: "My father would have liked the FF"
Maranello, 18 February –The 18th February is an important date in the history of the Maranello marque: on that day in 1898, Enzo Ferrari, the company Founder was born, even if the official registration of his birth states it happened two days later.
"My father always celebrated his birthday on the 18th," his son Piero revealed to www.ferrari.com. "And today would have been a working day for him, especially as we are on the verge of launching the amazing FF, which is a first for Maranello, the first car built here with all-wheel drive. "His passion for racing was matched by the love of his cars," recalled Piero. That's why, if he was here today, he would be proud of the new FF, a car which he would have liked a lot, because it's innovative and revolutionary and a true four-seater, like the Ferraris he used on a daily basis.
These are also days of expectation in terms of Formula 1 which, now as it was back then, is on the eve of another season. "If I picture him here, I can imagine him sitting at his desk, getting the engineers to give him progress reports on testing and putting pressure on the factory to get all the developments ready as quickly as possible," continued the Ferrari Vice-President. "He would be very interested to see how this championship will start, given all the new rules and, especially, the return of Pirelli, the company with which he won his first Drivers' title in 1952, with Alberto Ascari."

Are you in the grips of the wintry storm sweeping across the country? Please share your videos, pictures and stories at iReport.
(CNN) -- The Pennsylvania official was just talking about one area, but he summed up a winter storm that struck much of the eastern United States on Wednesday.
"We dodged a bullet," said Steve Cowan, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
As night fell, travelers and transportation authorities breathed a collective sigh of relief as the worst of holiday travel fears failed to materialize. The storm caused some complications and inconveniences, but no major delays or breakdowns.
Forecasters see mostly smooth sailing into Thanksgiving.
CNN meteorologist Todd Borek predicted some lake-effect snowfall over the Great Lakes and fresh snow from a weak disturbance for the Upper Midwest.
But, he added: "The worst in terms of widespread snow and rain is over. Tomorrow will be a quieter day, although wind gusts will continue to be a problem overnight and Thursday for the Northeast."
That's good news for people like Latasha Abney, who joined the more than 43 million Americans expected by AAA to travel over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Abney said Wednesday that she arrived more than two hours early at Washington's Reagan National Airport to catch a flight to New York's JFK.
"I thought the lines were going to be ridiculous," she said in an e-mail. "I was second in line checking my bag with Delta (checked into my flight last night) and security was a breeze. I walked right up, the TSA agent checked my info and I immediately started the security process. And now the wait begins. It's pretty quiet by the gates. Not too many people roaming around. So far, so good! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!"
Brian M. Good said he, too, was expecting a horrible trip when he departed New York for Newark to get a flight to San Diego.
"Instead the roads were dead," he said in an e-mail. "It's warm outside and it stopped raining. No lines at the airport and flight is on time. Wish the forecasters were wrong all the time :)"
Will winds whip parade balloons?
Though the worst of the storm has passed, winds could still pose a problem.
The forecast has left up in the air the fate of the balloons in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. They are to be grounded if sustained winds reach 23 mph or gusts exceed 34 mph -- both slightly above predicted strength.
A decision will be made Thursday morning before the parade's 9 a.m. ET scheduled start.
"Tomorrow before the event, we'll make a determination -- the police department, the incident commander -- whether the balloons will fly or not," Patrol Chief James Hall with the New York Police Department said Wednesday.
"It looks good. It looks very good," he said about the possibility of balloons in the air.
But there is ample reason to support the caution.
In 1997, a woman spent more than three weeks in a coma after the Cat in the Hat balloon -- tossed by heavy winds -- struck a pole that hit her. In 2005, two other people were hurt in a similar incident involving the M&Ms balloon.
Officials say that improved weather monitoring devices en route and a police sergeant assigned to each balloon will minimize any danger.
"We came all the way from Puerto Rico to see the parade, so it will be a disappointment if we don't see the balloons," said Jose Ramirez, who was in New York with his family.
Either way, the parade -- with or without the balloons -- will go on, organizers say.
Planes, trains ...
Delays were reported at several airports in the Northeast on Wednesday.
Don't get trapped by bad Thanksgiving weather: Top tips
Heavy winds at all three New York-area airports -- LaGuardia, John F. Kennedy and Newark-Liberty -- resulted in delays of 30 minutes to an hour, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Departure delays from Philadelphia International Airport averaged nearly two hours.
American Airlines' Kent Powell reported three cancellations, none of them related to the weather.
At US Airways, Todd Lehmacher called the impact of the weather "pretty minimal, at this point," with six weather-related cancellations and an on-time performance of about 67%. The impact was more pronounced at US Airways Express, which tallied 56 cancellations because of the weather, he said.
"The real story is people are getting to their destinations, albeit a little delayed in some but not all cases," he said.
#ATL24: A day in the life of the world's busiest airport
Amtrak reported no major delays systemwide. Using the weather as a marketing tool, the nation's rail system was adding seats on some routes.
"Rail travel remains one of the most reliable and comfortable transportation options, especially in weather conditions that negatively impact other modes," Amtrak said.
There may be something to that.
"QUIET CAR. Window seat. Polite seatmate. I have hit the Amtrak travel trifecta. #blessed," Ellie Hall tweeted early Wednesday.
5 healthy eating tips for holiday travelers
... and automobiles
Snow blanketed parts of the Midwest, where crews scrambled to clear roads. The storm was blamed for scores of accidents.
Up to a foot of snow fell in parts of Pennsylvania, and it was falling from upstate New York into Canada, where more than a foot was possible. Snow also continued to fly in the central Appalachians and around the Great Lakes as cold air moved in and produced lake-effect snows.
Road conditions were not great in much of the Northeast.
"It's sleet; it's rain; it's 31 degrees. It's ugly out there," CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said.
Still, a call for anecdotes elicited a number of comments, but no horror stories.
"Well, since the forecast said we would be hitting an ice storm on our way, we ended up leaving the night before we had planned and took an alternate route," Sarah Martini said in an e-mail. "This morning we took smaller roads to avoid DC traffic and have made great progress! We managed to avoid bad weather and traffic and are getting close to getting to Pittsburgh from NC!"
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that 416 motorists died during Thanksgiving weekend last year, that 60% of the dead had not been wearing seat belts and that 42% of the accidents involved a drunken driver.
Last week, 12 people died, most of them in car crashes, when one of the fronts making up the current storm iced roads from the Rockies to Texas and Oklahoma. More than 100 vehicles ended up in wrecks.
"I get on the highway, and the next thing I know I'm spinning," said Seqret Watson, among the dozens of drivers in Northwest Arkansas sent sliding when their cars hit icy bridges and roads.
"I try to grab my wheel and then I just hit the wall. Just jumped out to make sure my kids were OK," Watson told affiliate KFSM.
The Peterson family had initially planned to drive from Northern Virginia to Massachusetts. But after seeing the forecast, they booked seats on a flight at the last minute.
"It was a small fortune," Jennifer Peterson told CNN affiliate WUSA. "We could've gone to the Bahamas for what we paid!"
Storm prompts airlines to relax travel policies
CNN's Jason Carroll, Ben Brumfield, Dave Hennen, Aaron Cooper, Alexandra Field, Shannon Travis and Greg Botelho contributed to this report.

People always try to seek out places of interest when vacation time rolls around. We, as humans, want to be sure that we don't waste our precious days off by going somewhere that we aren't going to absolutely love. However, not all places people visit give them what they want. Traveling in a motorhome almost guarantees that you'll enjoy yourself wherever you go. The family togetherness and the memories created are incomparable.
There are enjoyable vacation spots all over the nation,…Continue

The middle of January is a busy time for the folks of Quartzsite, Arizona. This is where the weeklong annual Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Extravaganza takes place. This giant celebration, mostly attended by RV enthusiasts, was inaugurated on January 28, 1984, and was originally called the Quartzsite RV Show. There were only 60 exhibitors and one small tent. Because of the extreme interest in the event by so many attendees, it became obvious that it wasn't going to work to keep having…Continue

The official name for the French Louisiana region that is made up of, for the most part, a Francophone population, is called Acadiana (named for the French settlers that were exiled from L'Acadie by the British in 1755). This intrastate region is comprised of 22 of the 64 parishes that make up the state of Louisiana. It's called Cajun Country, and it's rich with a culture that can be found nowhere else in this land of ours. Oh, and it's a great place to explore in your Cruise America rental…Continue

Planning on a trip or vacation with your family is great, and deciding how you're going to get there and where you will stay, is a must. While enjoying adventures at each destination is the real goal, it turns out that while traveling in a Cruise America RV, it's the journey itself that helps to create the long lasting memories for the whole gang.
The word "Michigan" came from the word "michigama" which means "land surrounded by water." Obviously, this is a very apropos name for the…Continue

RVs, or recreational vehicles, are a great way for a family to roll across the country, taking in the views. This is due to a number of reasons, but the most obvious ones are the comfort and convenience factors. While this is probably very old news, it doesn't hurt anything to extol the virtues of RV travel from time to time. At Cruise America, we want to make sure that you know we are here, and what we can do for you—especially if you don't own a motorhome yet, or if you are thinking of…Continue

Traveling in an RV combines the lure of the open road with the creature comforts that so many of us have become so accustomed to. One of the greatest things about RV travel is that there are RV parks all over the U.S. that are available for your stay. However, before you head out on your explorations, there are a few things you should know about campgrounds that accommodate RVs—they are not all created equal!
RV campgrounds are abundant across this country of ours. They can be found…Continue

There are several ways to camp with a motorhome. Traditionally, most travelers choose to set up camp in an established RV park. Finding one of these has never been very difficult, as they generously dot the entire nation. As a matter of fact, where you find a popular attraction, you are sure to find RV camping facilities. Some of the parks charge a very reasonable fee, and some are a bit more expensive, depending on the location and the "amenity factor."
In 2010, RVers Kim and Don…Continue

There are those who claim that it's just as comfortable for them to camp in a tent at an RV park than camp in an RV. Anyone who says this has obviously never camped in an RV!
Let's take a minute and consider some of the differences between outdoor "tent camping" and camping in a motorhome. It really takes a special breed to be able to camp in a tent and be comfortable at the same time! In this day and age, the modern rental RVs (like you'll find at Cruise America) are just like small…Continue

Mother beats GPs on sleep disorder
A woman who suffered from a mystery condition that stopped her breathing every five minutes as she slept has finally been diagnosed 25 years later - by her mother.
Amanda Ramsay, 45, visited numerous doctors' surgeries and consultants after becoming increasingly exhausted, depressed and overweight.
She underwent "countless" blood tests, 30 thyroid tests and was forced to give up her job but medics failed to diagnose the cause of her chronic ill-health.
Her mother, Maureen Ramsay, 70, decided to Google her symptoms and found they matched the little-known sleep disorder Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA).
Miss Ramsay, of Bristol, suggested the condition to her doctor and was referred to a consultant, who ordered that she undergo a sleep study to take measurements including her oxygen levels.
The next day, results showed Miss Ramsay's upper airway was collapsing as her muscles relaxed during sleep - causing her breathing to stop every five minutes.
She was immediately diagnosed with OSA and has since been prescribed a respiratory machine to pump air into her body, allowing her to sleep through the night for the first time in decades.
"I was going to the doctor's for years because I was so easily putting on weight, had episodic depression and unexplained fatigue and latterly acid reflux," Miss Ramsay said.
"These are all symptoms of OSA but I was only diagnosed because of my mother. I'm really angry with the doctors; they left me with absolutely no hope and no treatment.
"Doctors train for seven years and get paid a lot of much money. My mum was so worried she went online and used Google to research my symptoms.
"She found OSA, I went to my GP and was sent to a consultant who suggested a sleep study and the next day I was diagnosed."
Miss Ramsay is now embarking on an awareness campaign for OSA and a weight loss challenge to raise money for the British Lung Foundation.
The University of Bristol PhD student began experiencing sleepiness in the middle of the day as she studied for her A-levels in the late 1980s.
Her condition continued into her 20s and by her 30s she often struggled to keep her eyes open while driving home from work.
"For many years, I was just feeling more and more exhausted and just trying to carry on," she said. "I felt utterly wiped out, with a foggy head, low concentration and a sense of not having enough energy even to get to work.
"The older I got, the heavier I got because caffeine, carbs and sugar were getting me through the day. I had to rest most of the time and could only walk for about five minutes.
"It was like living with the handbrake on."
Miss Ramsay would often wake up with the "frightening" sensation that she was swallowing a ball of chewing gum and could not breathe but did not realise her windpipe was closing.
In 2008, she contracted a chest infection, which failed to respond to antibiotics. By January 2009, she was left so exhausted she could barely walk to the local shop.
Her doctor then diagnosed post-viral fatigue syndrome, with Miss Ramsay forced to give up her job in the media to recover.
"Despite seeing a consultant, no-one suggested a sleep study or any treatment," she said.
"I was just told to rest. I removed all stress from my life and went on a cleanse type diet with no caffeine, alcohol, wheat and no sugar."
She began working part-time as a freelance researcher and writer in 2010 but quickly became too unwell to continue.
Mrs Ramsay went online in May 2011 and, after researching her daughter's symptoms, discovered OSA. A consultant at the Royal Brompton Hospital diagnosed OSA in July 2011.
After being diagnosed, Miss Ramsay was prescribed a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine, to wear every time she goes to sleep.
"I can't even enjoy relaxing and watching a film lying on the sofa without the machine because my airway begins to close," she said.
Miss Ramsay, a politics graduate who is researching community activism for her PhD, is aiming to lose five stone by Christmas in a bid to help improve her health and raise money for charity.
She is being trained by former Team GB athlete Tom Wood, with gruelling sessions twice a week, and Dr Tracy Johnson, her nutritionist at Brainbox coaching.
"Weight loss will not rid me of this condition but it will certainly improve my chances of living a long and healthy life," she said.
OSA affects 4% of middle-aged men and 2% of middle-aged women but many cases are undiagnosed.
Some sufferers wake up briefly when their upper airway collapses, but others have no idea their sleep is being so frequently disturbed.
If untreated, people often fall asleep mid-conversation, while sitting up or driving. Oxygen starvation leaves the whole body depleted and also increases the chance of stroke, heart disease, heart attack, morbid obesity and diabetes.

Burgh House has a small but dedicated team of volunteers who help keep things running smoothly. We're very fortunate to have two UCL Museum Studies students volunteering with us at the moment: Ruth Britt and Jennifer Esposti. We caught up with both of them to find out more about their individual experiences at the House, and how volunteering fits in with their long-term plans.
What does your Museums Studies course involve?
The modules cover all aspects of museum work, teaching us both practical skills and theoretical knowledge.
I'm taking the Museum Studies course at UCL as a full-time student. The programme is designed to give students a well-rounded introduction to all aspects of museum work. The first term consisted of weekly museum visits and four core courses. These core courses cover museum management, museum communications, collections management, and the history and theory of museums. The second term involved two courses that we selected for ourselves. I took Collections Curatorship, in whichI worked as part of a group to conduct in-depth research on a museum object. I also took a course on cultural heritage, globalisation and development. Each student also writes a dissertation and does a placement. I selected to do my placement at Burgh House.
What attracted you to volunteering at Burgh House?
I was attracted by the friendly team and the potential to gain behind-the-scenes museum experience.
I wanted to volunteer at a small museum so I could gain skills in a wide-range of museum work. I'm interested in museum education and outreach, so I wanted to volunteer at a museum that is actively used as a community space. Burgh House appealed to me because of its size, the fact it's used and enjoyed by the local community, and because it allows me the opportunity to become involved in a variety of projects.
Could you describe what you've been doing at the House?
I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to help out with lots of different projects and types of work, including: auditing and digitising the collection; writing and editing content for the website; maintaining the House's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube pages; helping with craft events; and helping to hang new exhibitions and displays.
My placement at Burgh House has focused on two areas. Firstly, I am assisting with the collections audit and temporary-exhibition development. The collections audit involves going through boxes of museum objects, documents and photographs. I update the information regarding the collection and upload the entries onto the Burgh House website. I am also helping with the development of temporary exhibitions at Burgh House. So far I've written some interpretation panels, helped hang the pieces for the Bryan Senior retrospective, and am developing a new family trail.
What do you like best about volunteering here?
The sense of community that comes from working in such a small, dedicated team.
There are several things I enjoy about volunteering at Burgh House. My favourite is being encouraged to test out new skills and to become involved in anything that appeals to my career interests. Becky, our Curator, has taken me along on gallery visits, encouraged me to write blog posts, and been open to anything I want to try out as a volunteer. I've volunteered in several museums both in the UK and USA and in my experience it's rare to find such a supportive environment.
What has been the most useful thing you've learned so far whilst volunteering here?
I have learnt so much from Becky and Mark, our General Manager, over the last year and a half, but most of all, I have learnt the joys of working in a small, independent museum.
I've gained a new appreciation for how much work goes into staging a temporary exhibition. It's been informative to see how the exhibition develops over time and how the team at Burgh House organises themselves and keeps everything within budget.
Where would you like to be career wise in the next five years?
Working in a collections-focused role in a small museum.
I'd like to be working in the museum sector doing outreach and exhibition development. I'd especially like to work in a museum or heritage site that has a deep connection to the local community. I see myself working in a small museum, since I would be able to participate in several areas rather than having to focus on one specific job.

For the past several years my wife, Evelyn, and I have hunted deer in the high rimrock country in northeastern Oregon. From one of the ridges we can look across a precipitous canyon of the Snake River into the mountains of Idaho. Below is the proposed site of the Mountain Sheep hydroelectric dam. It is a vast country, rugged beyond belief. In hunting this area, binoculars or a spotting scope are indispensable. Toward the end of the deer season last fall, we had glassed over many miles of the ridges and ravines but had not located a buck. Then one morning just after sunrise we spotted a small buck on a grassy slope above us. The range was about 250 yards, and I had time to get into a steady position. My flat-shooting .270, with 4-power scope and handloaded ammunition, placed the bullet as intended on its target. We field-dressed the animal and headed back to camp. When we arrived, we found that Willard, another hunter who shared our campsite, was all worked up. He had shot his deer the day before and had slept late this morning. Upon arising, he found that his deer was gone. It had been hanging near his tent on a sturdy meat pole lashed between two hemlocks. Investigating, he found the carcass a short distance up the hillside in the woods, badly chewed up. We knew of only two animals native to Oregon that could carry or drag a deer away— a cougar or a bear. We judged from the evidence that this was the work of a bear, a rather large one at that. However, we had never heard of one doing anything like this. Alarm in the Night That night as darkness approached, we wondered whether the animal might possibly return. We thought it very unlikely, but to be on the safe side I took my gun into the tent instead of leaving it in the car. We also decided to hang some cans on our deer that would make a racket if anything molested it. It had been a long day, so we eased into our sleeping bags a little earlier than usual. It was about 8:00 p.m., and I went to sleep almost immediately. At 8:45 Evelyn reached over and awoke me, saying, "The cans are rattling." It was as if lightning had struck. I grabbed the camp light and threw open the tent flap. Willard had been still up at his campfire, had heard the noise, and was coming on the run. I yelled: "Got your gun?" and he said "Yes." We dashed around the tent and threw the light on the deer. The carcass was swaying eerily, the protective bag shredded. The front quarters had been torn off and were missing. I flashed the light out into the blackness, swinging it in an arc. The light stopped on two bright yellow eyes and a glossy black hulk. Only fifteen paces away was a large black bear looking me straight in the eyes. Willard dropped to one knee and fired. The animal wheeled and disappeared into the woods. When I recovered enough to ask Willard what had happened to his aim, he said he couldn't see the scope's crosshairs in the poor light, but thought he surely couldn't miss at that close range. I felt a twinge of anger that he had risked wounding the animal and exposing us to attack. Much too nervous to go back to sleep right away, I rigged some more cans on the front quarters of the deer where the bear had left them and moved the car up as close to it as I could, to within about 30 yards. I settled down in the front seat with the .270 across my lap and the camp light beside me. I thought I would stay there at least until I got sleepy. I knew that the heavy post reticle in my scope would show up all right even with poor lighting. Within an hour my nerves had steadied. It was the dark of the moon, so I had to rely on hearing to tell me if the bear returned. I heard a low "whumph," a noise I didn't recognize—the bear returning? I was listening for more clues when a dull thud sounded on the window a few inches from my head. A shock wave ran through me, and turn-

WALTHAM, Mass. – The 25th-ranked Brandeis University men's basketball team nearly erased a 14-point second-half deficit, but the Judges couldn't quite get over the hump against the University of Rochester today, as the top-ranked Yellowjackets escaped Red Auerbach Arena with a 66-59 University Athletic Association (UAA) victory. With the loss, the Judges fall to 15-5 overall, 6-3 in the UAA. UR improves to 19-1, 8-1 in the UAA, and takes a two-game lead over Brandeis, Emory and Washington University with five games to play.
Brandeis faced its largest halftime deficit of the season of 12 points at 32-20 as UR closed the first half on a 10-0 run over the final 4:15. The Judges shot just 26 percent from the floor (6-23), while Rochester connected on 40 percent (10-25). UR senior John DiBartolomeo (Westport, Conn./Staples) led all players with nine points in the first, while junior Nate Vernon (Chapel Hill, N.C./Suffield Acad.) added eight. Brandeis junior Gabriel Moton (St. Petersburg, Fla./St. Petersburg) had seven points for the Judges.
Rochester's lead bounced between seven and 12 points, but a fast-break lay-up by sophomore Tyler Sankes (Rochester, N.Y./McQuaid Jesuit) made it a 48-34 advantage for the visitors with 10:26 left. The Judges climbed back into the game at that point, keeping UR without a field goal for the next five minutes, outscoring the Yellowjackets, 15-2, in that span. Brandeis connected on three 3-pointers, including on back-to-back possessions with just under eight minutes remaining by Derek Retos (No. Attleboro, Mass./Brimmer and May) and Alex Stoyle (Goffstown, N.H./Tilton Acad.) that cut the lead to 50-45 with 7:18 left.
Brandeis got a stop after a Rochester timeout, and Stoyle connected on two free throws after grabbing an offensive rebound to make it a one-possession game. Stoyle had a block and grabbed another board on the defensive end, and Moton drove to the basket to make it a one-point game, 50-49, with 5:59 left on the clock.
Unfortunately, the Judges could never make it past Rochester. Rob Reid (Mt. Airy, N.C./Phillips Exeter Acad.) stopped the bleeding for the visitors at the 5:52 mark. Stoyle and DiBartolomeo traded hoops on the next four possessions, making it 56-53 in favor of UR. The 'Jacket senior continued his outstanding play on the next two possessions with a defensive rebound that led to a bucket and a steal and lay-in with 3:08 to go that made it a 60-53 edge.
Moton answered for Brandeis with 2:49 on the clock, getting Brandeis back within five at 60-55. The Judges got a stop on the next possession, but DiBartolomeo put the dagger in the comeback. He made a steal with 2:04 on the clock and hit a clutch 24-foot 3-pointer from straight-away as the shot clock expired and 1:31 left in regulation, making an eight point game with just 91 seconds remaining. UR hit 3-of-5 from the line down the stretch, while Brandeis hit a couple of buckets for the final seven-point margin.
Brandeis was led by Moton's team-high 17 points, 10 coming in the second half. After playing just five minutes in the first half because of foul trouble, Stoyle had a tremendous second half to finish with 15 points and a game-high nine rebounds, just missing his second-straight double-double. He also had three blocked shots. Retos connected on three 3-pointers to finish with nine points. Ben Bartoldus (Hillsborough, N.H./Proctor Acad.) led Brandeis with four assists.
DiBartolomeo finished with a game-high 22 points – 13 in the second half - and had his team-high with eight rebounds and four assists. Vernon finished with 14 points, hitting 3-of-4 from downtown, 5-of-6 from the line. Sophomore Tyler Seidman (Bellmore, N.Y./Holy Trinity) had nine points and Sankes and Kevin Sheehy (Syosset, N.Y./Chaminade) had eight each. UR was able to overcome a 30-25 rebounding deficit by connecting on 9-of-18 from 3-point range and owning a 13-10 scoring edge from the free throw line. They also won the turnover battle, 16-8, outscoring Brandeis, 11-5, in points off miscues.
The Judges return to the road for more UAA action next weekend, when they head to Pittsburgh to take on Carnegie Mellon University Friday night at 8 p.m.

Faulconer, Gloria pledge transparency as audit launches
View the Video Watchdog Minute: A slow response to public records requests by Ricky Young
- In response to: Public records flow slowly for Filner
San Diego will review its performance on releasing city records to the public after Councilman Kevin Faulconer asked for an audit of slow -- or no -- responses to document requests under departing Mayor Bob Filner.
Faulconer, chair of the city's audit committee, sought the review in response to a story earlier this month about how nearly half of 30 public records requests filed by U-T Watchdog had not been fulfilled. The story noted other media organizations and members of the public were having similar problems.
"Now, more than ever, San Diegans deserve full transparency," Faulconer said. "It's critical to restoring trust to City Hall."
A Faulconer memo calling for the audit suggested posting more city information online, something Filner promised, but largely failed, to do.
"There is an opportunity to make it simpler for the public to access disclosable information by posting public data online in easily accessible and user-friendly formats," Faulconer wrote.
City Auditor Eduardo Luna on Thursday agreed to an audit, which he estimated would take 1,200 staff hours to complete.
Faulconer is among those considering a run to replace Filner, who is stepping down Friday after a weeks-long sexual harassment scandal. Another possible candidate is Council President Todd Gloria, who is to serve as acting mayor pending a special election.
Gloria also says he will make open records and transparency a top priority.
"We will address the backlog of requests for public records," Gloria said in an August 23 speech after Filner's resignation announcement. "I intend to break through the logjam of approvals for these requests and to deliver documents as required under the law in a timely manner."
The law requires public records to be made promptly available, but allows governments 10 days to respond under limited circumstances. An extension beyond that can be allowed with proper notice, but the law says, "No notice shall specify a date that would result in an extension for more than 14 days."
City officials have frequently busted those deadlines, not just with U-T Watchdog, but with other organizations that routinely ask for public records, such as the San Diego Reader, Voice of San Diego and News 10.
For example, San Diego CityBeat staff writer Joshua Emerson Smith sought information July 1 about the "request for proposal" or RFP for the city's ambulance services.
"Can I please be emailed a copy of the RFP for ambulance service that was completed over the last two years, which has been put on hold?" Smith wrote in an email. "I am working on deadline and need it as soon as possible."
City officials waited 17 days to respond to Smith, telling him he could not have the document, records show.
Voice of San Diego reporter Lisa Halverstadt asked for information July 12 about who in the mayor's office took the city's sexual harassment training program between a certain timeframe.
On August 1, records show, she received a letter from the city, telling her the city had no information for her.
Records obtained by UT-Watchdog under a slightly different request showed that no one in the mayor's office — including Filner — took sexual harassment training until July 23, many missing the six-month state deadline for supervisors to be trained. That information could have quickly been communicated to Halverstadt in a phone call.
The Filner administration said it worked as fast as it could amid a high volume of requests, which grew more fervent as Filner's sexual harassment scandal enveloped the 11th floor.
"I get probably a half a dozen of those folders coming across every day," said Lee Burdick, chief of staff to the mayor told the U-T last month. "So when I see the massive volume going out in response to public records requests, it doesn't seem to me that we're not being transparent."
Certainly the number of records requests spiked as Filner's imploding administration became a national story. Between June 3 and July 29, the city received 238 requests under the state's public record law.
Over a similar two-month period in 2012, there were 134 records requests made at City Hall. In 2011, that two-month period saw 130 requests.
One day last week, the city's program coordinator for public records act requests, Lea Fields-Bernard, provided answers to three of the Watchdog's records requests in the course of an hour.
"Thanks Lea," the reporter wrote in an email to Fields-Bernard. "You're like a public records machine gun today!"
"It's really every day," she responded. "This just happens to be your lucky day."

BALTIMORE – UMBC softball's senior first baseman Chelsea Bertoglio (Laguna Hills, Calif./Laguna Hills/Saddleback College) delivered a two-run double in the bottom of the fifth inning to put the Retrievers out in front, but Niagara was able to produce three runs in the top of the sixth en route to a 5-3 victory on day two of the UMBC Dawg Pound Invitational Saturday afternoon at the UMBC Stadium.
The Purple Eagles improved to 6-8 on the season, while the Retrievers fall to 16-6 on the year.
Niagara was able to put one run on the board in the top of the first inning, after senior Brittany Richberg led off the contest with a triple that traveled to the left field fence. Junior Amanda Werth was able to drive Richberg home on a grounder to second base for the early advantage.
UMBC starting pitcher Kelly Lane (Albany, N.Y./Colonie Central) helped herself out in the bottom of the second inning with an RBI-single to right center field to score freshman Jaclyn Buckley (Voorhees, N.J./Eastern Camden Regional) from second and knot the contest at one apiece. The Retrievers were unable to cash in on any more runs in the frame, despite loading the bases in the inning. UMBC left seven runners on base in the contest.
Niagara responded in the top of the fifth, as Werth walked and freshman Briget Hogan put runners on second and third with a one-out double to right center. Pinch hitter Ally Gay put the Purple Eagles back out in front, 4-3, with a two-run single through the left side of the infield. A two-out single to left field from freshman Rachel Ziarnowski extended the Purple Eagles lead to 5-3.
Starting pitcher Jennifer Sansano held the Retrievers without a hit in the final two innings en route to her fourth victory of the season. She allowed two earned runs on four hits, each coming from a different Retriever, while Lane (3-4) took the loss, allowing five earned runs on six hits.
The Retrievers continue action at the Dawg Pound Invitational with a game against Hampton (3:30 p.m.) on Sunday, March 16 at the UMBC Softball Stadium. Due to incoming weather in the Baltimore area, the UMBC versus Drexel game has been cancelled.

I am writing to set the record straight on the incorrect information about GE ("General Electric Moves Jobs to China") provided by reader Jane Kenny on Sunday, Feb. 12.
GE is not moving its X-ray business to China. During July of last year GE announced that four X-ray executives and the titular headquarters were being transitioned to Beijing. There were no U.S. job losses associated with the move of these four individuals. The GE X-Ray team in Wisconsin, around 150 employees strong, is not leaving Wisconsin and is not being closed down. GE's X-ray team will continue to function as a global team serving a global business with global customers, and will continue to have major global hubs in Wisconsin, Paris, Beijing and Bangalore. GE's X-ray business faces 120 Chinese competitors and this move is intended to reinforce our commitment to be a leading X-ray company.
China is an important export market for our American manufactured X-ray devices but we've found that their hospitals require much more basic products. That team will develop products in China for China with a focus on products for very rural clinics.
When major U.S.-based, global companies like GE expand into new markets and sell to more customers — whether in China or any other large, growing international market — it means more jobs in the U.S., now and in the future.
Ms. Kenny's letter was also wrong about GE's taxes. The fact is GE paid $1 billion in federal, state and local taxes in the U.S. for 2010. Our tax rate was low because GE Capital, our financial services business lost $32 billion during the financial crisis. We expect that our tax rate will be higher for 2011 as GE's business recovers. GE believes the U.S. tax system is in desperate need of reform including the closing of loopholes and the lowering of corporate tax rates to a level similar to most other regions of the world.
Regarding GE's new advertising campaign — here's what is going on: GE is adding thousands of jobs in the United States. As part of a four-day meeting in Washington, D.C. recently, GE announced it will hire 5,000 U.S. veterans over the next five years. GE also announced plans to expand its presence in Louisville by investing in a new U.S. manufacturing facility — the first milestone in a $1 billion investment in GE's appliances' business, creating 1,300 U.S. jobs by 2014.
